Pastoral Letter on Gambling, Gaming and Casinos
3 comments:
- Julian Barkin said...
Hello Marlena and Neil,
Thanks for bringing this letter up though the blog. Now I know this is available right away from the Archdiocese, and I've spread the word now with a blog post on my blog, Servimus Unum Deum. This is a great way electronically to get the word out to the tech-savvy generation like myself.
I have a question though with regards to smaller scale gambling and Catholics. The message is straight in the letter that this can have a devastating effect on individuals' lives and their families, but also that (as listed in the Catechism), gambling is not a sin of grave nature and small scale gambling is acceptable as long as it doesn't harm the individuals involved and consume those involved or encourage others to commit sin.
My question is though, concerning Catholic organizations, parishes, and even just buddies having a gambling night. Organizations like the Knights of Columbus and parishes tend to host these events, particularly for the older crowd to generate revenue or money for charitable causes. How are these organizations/parishes/friends to do such small scale gambling in light of the Catechism and this pastoral letter?
- April 25, 2013 at 6:53 PM
- Neil MacCarthy said...
Thanks for the comment Julian. I'd refer you to an important paragraph in the letter from Cardinal Collins:
"Occasional and small-scale gambling can be a legitimate form of entertainment, and is not inherently evil. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in the section relating to respect for persons and their goods, states that games of chance or wagers are not in themselves contrary to justice, but become morally unacceptable when these activities deprive people of what is necessary to provide for their needs and those of others.i That, unfortunately, is what happens far too often. The Catechism also notes the power of gambling to enslave. Individuals, and the government, and charitable organizations as well can become enslaved by the lure of easy gambling revenue, and that is clearly not healthy."
In our questions for reflection session we also indicate: "high stakes" gambling refers to casino nights and bingos offering prizes of several thousand dollars.
That said, it's a good time, as noted by Cardinal Collins, for the entire community to reflect on how reliant we are on revenue from "high stakes gaming" to fund our programs.
- April 30, 2013 at 3:06 PM
- Albert Adam said...
The issues involving gambling has been a popular topic amongst scholars for many years. Advancments in gambling can be linked to many areas. Though gambling is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, gambling is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters.

Recently I was reading a book about this doctor who somehow traveled back in time to the 1700's. In the book during her time travel in the 1700's she was always healing people with her knowledge of using all kinds of plants. I was fascinated by the myriad of ailments that she could cure simply by using common herbs. I am a big believer in herbs that heal and found this recipe for Calendula (pot marigold) in the Whole Foods Market magazine. I made it and love it so I wanted to pass it on to all of you to enjoy!
Calendula (pot marigold) is an annual flower with yellow or orange flowers that are edible and can be tossed in salads (never knew this but may try it). It does kind of feel weird for me to eat flowers but hey you never know. I'm open to new experiences. Pot marigold is extremely easy to grow (thank goodness because I have a knack for not being the best gardener-to say the least) and can be bought as seeds or as young nursery plants. It likes lots of sun and well-drained soil, but will tolerate quite rough conditions and still bloom all summer and fall until the first hard frost hits.
Calendula (Pot Marigold) Salve Recipe
When the flowers are slightly past full bloom (where the petals are open and not curled) pull off each petal (like when you were a kid and did the he loves me, loves me not game by pulling off the flower petals and the last petal revealed the answer) and drop them into a small jar of good olive oil (I use extra virgin olive oil). Keep it in the jar for two weeks , then open the jar and blot up the layer of water that has risen to the top with a paper towel. Pour the oil into a pan and add about a third as much beeswax (you can purchase beeswax online by googling-"where to buy beeswax"). Warm, stirring occasionally, over low heat until the beeswax has melted into the oil. Pour the mixture into a small jar and let cool. If it is a bit runny when it cools, reheat it and add a little more beeswax.
**Chapped Lips
**Scratched Hands
**Irritated and dry skin
**Cuts and burns-The German Commission E (considered the world authority on herbal remedies) approved Calendula for healing cuts and burns.
Calendula salve was more effective than steroid cream in reducing skin toxicity, a dry itchy, painful skin inflammation in breast cancer patients, reported the Journal ofClinical Oncology in 2004.
This salve seems to be helping with my daughter's eczema and dry skin which is a relief because I do not like using the steroid creams on her that the doctor prescribed. If you have any of the above symptoms, why not give this salve a try!

Marigold: Good old Marigold. You did not tell us whether the book is fiction an if this is all wishful for us to have high hopes. The last time I checked, humans could not time-travel (only in movies). What is the name of the book?Is it on Amazon?
I will try this for my dry skin.Thanks for sharing. This suddenly reminded me of Aloe Vera.

We ave been growing Marigold's for years. I have heard of eating them, although never tried it! We use them as an insect deterrent. This use looks very interesting, I will give it a try. Thanks!

Do you strain out the marigold petals before heating the oil?
I am definitely going to try this, and recommend it to my friends who suffer from Psoriasis and eczema.

Agriculture Groups Urge TPP Deal Without Japan
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 28, 2014 – The National Pork Producers Council today joined the International Dairy Foods Association, the National Association of Wheat Growers, the USA Rice Federation and the U.S. Wheat Association in calling on the Obama administration to conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations without Japan unless that nation agrees to provide significant market access for the United States. For U.S. pork that means elimination of Japan's gate price system and all tariffs.
The TPP is a regional negotiation that includes the United States, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam, which account for nearly 40 percent of global GDP.
According to reports from the recent TPP trade ministerial meeting in Singapore, Japanese Minister of the Economy Akira Amari said Japan will not abolish tariffs in the agricultural sectors it considers "sacred" – dairy, sugar, rice, beef, pork, wheat and barley.
"The U.S. pork industry is very disappointed that Japan continues to refuse to eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade," said NPPC President Dr. Howard Hill, a pork producer from Cambridge, Iowa, who pointed out that the U.S. meat sector strongly supported Japan's entry into the TPP talks, as did most of American agriculture. "A country can't shield its primary agricultural products from competition and still claim to be committed to a high-standard agreement that liberalizes essentially all goods."
Japan is demanding special treatment for its agricultural sector, including exempting pork and other "sensitive" products from tariff elimination. The United States never has agreed to let a trading partner exempt as many tariff lines as Japan is requesting – 586. In fact, in the 17 free trade agreements the United States has concluded since 2000, only 233 tariff lines combined have been exempted from having tariff elimination.
"Allowing Japan to exempt products from going to a zero tariff and preserving the gate price on pork sets a horrible precedent," Hill said. "Other TPP countries may demand similar treatment, which could jeopardize the entire agreement, and that precedent would make it much harder to obtain a good outcome for pork and other agricultural products in future trade deals."
# # #
NPPC is the global voice for the U.S. pork industry, protecting the livelihoods of America's 67,000 pork producers, who abide by ethical principles in caring for their animals, in protecting the environment and public health and in providing safe, wholesome, nutritious pork products to consumers worldwide. For more information, visit www.nppc.org.
Statement on TPP Negotiations
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Minister Amari's statement in Singapore that none of Japan's sensitive agricultural items will be fully liberalized may signal the end of hopes for the Trans-Pacific Partnership to become a truly comprehensive and forward-looking 21st century agreement. A country cannot shield its primary agricultural products from competition and still claim to be committed to a high-standard agreement liberalizing essentially all goods.
When Japan joined the TPP negotiations, it agreed to "to pursue an agreement that is comprehensive and ambitious in all areas, eliminating tariffs and other barriers to trade and investment," as stated in the earlier (November 12, 2011) TPP Trade Ministers' Report to Leaders. Yet according to several reports from the TPP Ministerial meeting just completed in Singapore, Japanese Minister of the Economy Akira Amari has now flatly told the other negotiating countries that Japan will not abolish tariffs in the five agricultural sectors it considers "sacred." Those five sectors include seven basic agricultural products, covering most of agricultural production: dairy, sugar, rice, beef, pork, wheat and barley. They also include many downstream products made from those seven items, such as flour and flour mixes made from wheat and rice.
The broad exemption that Japan is demanding will encourage other partner countries to withhold their sensitive sectors as well. The result would fall far short of a truly comprehensive agreement that would set a new standard for future trade agreements. In fact the TPP envisioned by Japan, if it stands, would be the least comprehensive agreement the U.S. has negotiated since the 21st century began.
U.S. negotiators still have a chance to push Japan to provide meaningful agricultural market access in the agreement. Failing that, the alternative is suspending negotiations with Japan for now and concluding a truly comprehensive agreement with those TPP partners that are willing to meet the originally contemplated level of ambition. It is a big step but one that will be justified if Japan continues to refuse to open its agricultural sector to meaningful competition.

There is no place on earth where high quality Comics are so abundant like in tiny, little Belgium. Ever since the beginning of the 20th Century they were published in all sizes and formats. And here Comics were officially lifted up to the status of a genuine Art: the Ninth Art!
Among all the Authors and Drawers
one is truly standing out: Georges Remy from
R.G. created a young hero: a sulphur-crested reporter he baptized Kuifje (Kuif-je = little crest).
A perfectionist as he used to be R.G. only drew 24 albums since 1929, all of an outstanding quality: good script, fine drawings and extremely well documented.
Some of the albums took 4 to 5 years to finish!
He also did the French language versions himself where Kuifje was called Tintin.
So whenever an album was released a Flemish (Dutch) and a French version appeared simultaneously by his hand, each for the two language populations of Belgium.
Later his albums were translated into 50 languages or even more...
Spielberg and R.G.
In 1981 Spielberg's Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark was
released and R.G. became a big fan of this kind of Adventures. R.G. contacted
Spielberg and wished he would do a Tintin movie. Spielberg was under the
impression of R.G.'s Comic Art and they decide to meet in 1983. Unfortunately,
when Spielberg was on the plane from
the Movie!
30 years later now. Together with
Peter Jackson (N.Z.) Spielberg made The
Secret of the Unicorn by
"Motion Capture Performance". The movie is based on three successive albums
of R.G.
Here are the three original prints of De Avonturen van Kuifje Series (from Bert Jamin's Kuifje albums collection):
De Krab met de Gulden Scharen (The Crab with the Golden Claws)
Het Geheim van de Eenhoorn (The Secret of the Unicorn)
De Schat van Scharlaken Rackham (The Treasure of Red Rackham)
the Game!
Together with the release of the
film a matching Game was released by Ubisoft.

News 12 This Morning / Friday, June 8, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Some Richmond County middle schoolers are blasting off into a new adventure this summer through a summer enrichment program. This year's theme for the IDEA Program is "Space Odyssey."
On a sunny morning, the children were out with sunscreen in hand, but they were in class -- not summer vacation.
"Right now we're working on our sunblock experiment," said Rujean Verdree, a rising eighth grader.
With pencils and paper ready to go, class is in session for Richmond County middle schoolers working in the IDEA program.
"One, I wanted to make new friends and learn new stuff," said Alexander Stair, also a rising eighth grader.
Thirteen-year-old Stair is already learning new facts to go along with this year's "Space Odyssey" theme.
"I learned that Pluto was not a planet," he said while looking distraught. "Guess it got too small."
Titania Singh, the lead teacher for the program, said, "What we are attempting to do is take those students and spark a fire in them for that subject."
To keep the facts fresh in their minds, students learn with hands-on experiments. Most days, they are outside of the class without a single textbook.
"It's fun, it's not school. That's the whole twist. They are not sitting in desks, not being lectured to all day long. They are getting up, using their brain, their hands and getting outside and enjoying the summer," Singh explained.
The two-month program also includes language arts, math and art classes that will incorporate space.
"Yeah, it's fun. Let's us know more about the sun, more about space, how it travels," Verdree said.
"I'm normally a science person," Stair said.
He is hoping to start eighth grade with a head start instead of forgetting what he learned in school over the summer. The IDEA program is free for students to participate. At the end of the year, they will build a replica of the space station to cap off the "Space Odyssey" theme.

Connecticut is doing a Great Job getting their Exchanges off the ground. My wife will be going on ACA health ins in January.
First failure HealthCare.gov.
Next failure the State Healthexchanges.
Obamacare = Failure.
We should be under NO obligation to be responsible for a "law" that was passed under COMPLETELY false pretenses.
I'm 60, have what would be a "gold plan" (80/20). I have a $500 annual deductible and my premium is $175 per month.
Obamacare would be about 5X that.
Remember America - Not ONE Republican in the House Voted for the original bill - NOT ONE! and No Democrats read it - None -
This thing will be a "death by 1000 cuts".
Obama "temporarily" postponed the Employer Mandate on businesses with 50 workers or more....removing the $2000 fine threat, FOR NOW.
Do you think hiring will improve with that hanging over their heads?
A business with the MINIMUM of 50 employees will pay a $100,000 fine.
What about companies with thousands of employees?
When will the lies stop?
In order to sell this thing, he said it would cost the govt. less, it would cost us less, he said it would involve no new taxes, that if already insured you could keep your insurance, and you could keep your own doctor.
NONE of this is true.
They say "it's the law of the land".
But, SHOULD it be, if it was made the law under false pretenses (lies)?
The worst part is, they KNEW they were lying at the time.
Why else do you think Pelosi said "We have to pass it to see what's in it?"
If it was, in any way, a good deal, why is the most PRIZED govt/corporate/union accomplishment,
an EXEMPTION from it ??
The slimy weasel is trying to slither out from under this SCANDAL also.
It doesn't matter whether he LIED or misspoke. This is his signature legislation and HE is responsible for knowing how it works.
And ALL dems are complicit in the fraud.
It is becoming more and more apparent that all the "facts" used to sell this bill to the public were LIES (mis-statements).
I'm betting they included the extended coverage to CAUSE the cancellations because obamacare won't work unless EVERYONE gets involved.
At worst, this is the most intentionally deceptive piece of legislation ever perpetrated on the American public.
At best, it is the most poorly planned and financially damaging piece of legislation ever perpetrated on the American public.
In EITHER case, it needs to be repealed until a complete understanding of it is determined THEN re-voted on.
The ACA that is "the law of the land" is NOT the one that was originally promoted by the president and Senate.
Obamacare was pushed so MORE people would have healthcare insurance.
So far, millions more people are WITHOUT healthcare because of this bill.
I cannot believe how you are still dwelling on the failings of the website.
We need to concentrate on the failings of the program, itself. The dems lied about everything to get this thing passed. Then they lied about how many Americans supported this program. Then they lied about how many people were trying to sign up.
The TRUTH is, almost no one wants this thing.
The only people signing up are the ones without any healthcare now, and because of their low income, will get it completely subsidized.
Everyone else will be paying for THEM.
If you weren't completely cancelled, then your rates will be 4-5 X higher.
Doctors are refusing to take part in the program because it will add 40% to their overhead.
So, we were either LIED to, to get it passed. In which case it needs to be repealed.
It was poorly designed and misunderstood. In which case it needs to be repealed.

26 U.S. Code § 78 - Dividends received from certain foreign corporations by domestic corporations choosing foreign tax credit
If a domestic corporation chooses to have the benefits of subpart A of part III of subchapter N (relating to foreign tax credit) for any taxable year, an amount equal to the taxes deemed to be paid by such corporation under section 902(a) (relating to credit for corporate stockholder in foreign corporation) or under section 960(a)(1) (relating to taxes paid by foreign corporation) for such taxable year shall be treated for purposes of this title (other than section 245) as a dividend received by such domestic corporation from the foreign corporation.
1976—Pub. L. 94–455 substituted "section 902(a)" for "section 902(a)(1)" and "section 960(a)(1)" for "section 960(a)(1)(C)".

Need ideas for boys names...
My wife and I are expecting our first child in November. We want the gender to a surprise... and even if we find out, we wont know until at least the middle of this month when she has her first ultrasound. In the mean time we have made a list of possible names for either sex, and we have had no problems coming up with a list of girls names, and agreeable ones at that, but there just do not seem to be any good boys names (I shouldnt say there aren't... to each their own) that we both like. We want to stray away from biblical names and reused family names, as well as names that typically can be shortened drastically (i.e. robert>bob or jonathon>john). We are planning to use my middle name for the boy, which is Wayne. The last name is Brewer. It would be helpful to throw some boys names that go good with this, this way for us to think about. Nothing has hit us just yet. Thanks.

Banking on Extreme Outcomes
The hope may be for a muddle through when it comes to the euro crisis, but investors are increasingly betting on one extreme or another.
Take a look at the oil market.
Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported on very heavy activity in out-of-the-money options on oil prices–at either end of the spectrum. Although prices are currently hovering at around $100 a barrel, investors are betting that prices either collapse by half or surge by 50%.
But it's not just oil. Everywhere you look, asset prices seem unstable. For those who believe that the mountain of central-bank liquidity will fuel uncontrolled inflation, assets are bound to surge. Central banks' recent policy actions would have been grist for their mills.
Gavyn Davies, the former chief economist at Goldman Sachs and economics blogger for the FT, estimates that the Federal Reserve's and Bank of England's balance sheets could nearly quadruple by the end of next year from where they were before the crisis, while the European Central Bank's will be more than twice as big.
But there is significant debate about the effectiveness of quantitative easing. Set against contractionary fiscal policy, it could be that central-bank liquidity proves no more than a modest spur to growth. Indeed, any temporary jumps in commodity prices in response to inflationary fears are likely to be self defeating as they prove a drag on consumption. In which case, the combination of austerity across Europe, a halt to U.S. fiscal expansion and the beginnings of a credit crunch in China, with simultaneous weakness across emerging markets, bodes very ill for the global economy next year.
This suggests that for all the effort being made by central banks, risks for asset prices are skewed to the downside. It could be that both eventualities come to pass. As I mentioned, inflation fears could generate another surge in oil prices which would then prove to be a dampener on growth as generalized inflation failed to materialize, causing a sharp economic downswing. This is something like what happened in 2008 and 2009 after the initial rounds of emergency Fed policy.
Alternatively, central banks could yet generate inflation but then lose control of the process.
As the Bank of England's policy members have frequently said, the rate of inflation is the choice of the central bank. The BOE has allowed inflation to run higher than its 2% target over recent years because this inflation has been perceived to be a "temporary" phenomenon. Central banks want inflation rates in the range of 2% to 3% these days in order to stave off risks of damaging debt deflation. But they don't really know the ultimate effects of all their QE.
If investors start to believe central banks have lost control of inflationary pressures, their fears could become self-reinforcing. As near-term deflationary concerns dominate central-bank policy, central banks will respond ever more aggressively, ultimately letting the inflationary genie out of the bottle.
This, in a nutshell, is the argument Societe Generale's Albert Edwards has been making for some time. Deflation first and then very, very serious inflation. Asset prices to collapse. And then to soar.

Land power fundamental to strategic success within human domain
February 25, 2013
By John Whipple, Army Capabilities Integration Center
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- During the opening day of the 2013 Association of the United States Army's 2013 Winter Symposium and Exposition, senior leaders highlighted the Army's unique capabilities within the joint force to influence populations, shape the operational environment and achieve long-lasting strategic victory.
Lt. Gen. Keith C. Walker, Training and Doctrine Command deputy commanding general of Futures and director of Army Capabilities Integration Center, said "in the final analysis, tactical and operational success rests on controlling the air, sea, land, cyber and space domains," but added that strategic success requires lasting influence over the human domain.
During an Institute of Land Warfare presentation titled "The Nation's Strategic Hedge," Walker emphasized how influence over the human domain was the critical element in achieving lasting peace, and a key role the U.S. Army will play in future joint operations.
"The U.S. must never enter a conflict with a strategic plan limited to engaging and destroying an enemy's forces," Walker explained. "Lasting strategic success is not a function of enemy units eliminated or targets destroyed. A successful strategic outcome rests … on the ability of Soldiers, Marines and special operations forces to defeat an enemy force and seize and hold territory by direct physical interaction with local populations … in order to create the conditions of a lasting peace."
Walker provided historical perspective by explaining how it was land power that ultimately brought about strategic victory in World War II.
"Without diminishing the role of air or sea power," he said, "It was land power that brought about victory in Europe, later the rehabilitation of Germany, and it was through land power that the U.S. wrested away Japan's key strategic outposts, allowing our Navy and U.S. Army Air Corps to close with the Japanese home islands."
Walker also noted that the U.S. success in World War II was no accident, but the result of Army and Marine Corps professionals who spent years in between the world wars thinking long and hard about the future of war and land power's role in it. "This was a time of intellectual ferment," Walker said, "and one of the great lessons the Marines and Army learned was that in periods of forced austerity like the great depression, thinking is absolutely free."
As the U.S. draws down its forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, Walker said the U.S. is transitioning to a period of innovation not unlike the interwar period -- a period where the Army and industry partners must work together to support forward-deployed forces in their efforts to succeed within complex future operating environments.
"Such a global environment suggests the need for continuous forward engagement of land forces -- that forward engagement is increasingly crucial to our success. Forward-deployed forces demonstrate our commitment to peace and stability in a region; they deter, they shape the environment, fulfilling perhaps our most important role of preventing a consequential event from ever occurring in the first place." He added that if hostilities start, land forces are immediately available to assist and enhance the joint effort, and that their presence and the partnerships they engender may well bring operational access without ever having to fight for it.
In closing, Walker emphasized that "without the combined capabilities and capacity of land power -- Army, Marines and special ops -- lasting strategic success anywhere in the world is at significant risk."

Well, this has been a stressful week! There is a *lot* going on at work and with my family! I honestly wasn't sure how I would react to the week.
And after attending aerobics class faithfully for two solid weeks, I began to worry I might have to miss a day this week. So far, I have not missed any classes--and trust me, I really wanted to skip last night! One more tonight, and I will have a new personal best for attendance. :)
Oh my gosh, it's been a tough week in there. We have used the balls from hell twice to work core, we have done some sideways step, regular step, soooo much arm stuff with weights, and some quality hip flexor time! Yikes!
I am noticing some changes in myself in the class. I am doing more. Last night I did 30 mountain climbers for the first time--EVER! I am also "breaking for water" a LOT less (I break for water when I get frustrated and need to step away from my bench for a second before I snap). My attitude has also *significantly* changed in the past few weeks. I don't dread the class. I look forward to it. I have a "Sure, I'll try it, why not?" thing going now. It used to be that I would watch the instructor, and go "Aw, hell no, that ain't happening." And what's even stranger is how I feel AFTER the class. It's a *serious* high! I used to go home and pretty much fall into my bed from exhaustion. Or I'd moan and groan. There was so much negativity there. Now, I usually don't focus on the bad (I do acknowledge it by practicing the bad over the weekends), I focus on the improvement. And it makes me excited! I feel like I am actually a LOT better than I was 4 months ago, and I love that feeling. I now look at my instructor doing all her crazy bending and think "Hmm... one day I will be able to do that too." And I really believe I will which is very motivating!
And I will admit here that my food intake hasn't changed super significantly. I'm much more CAREFUL, but I haven't changed anything definitively. I think I do better, but I haven't been tracking. The next order of business is getting that going. I think if I can get my food under control, I will be able to achieve my dream of a single digit size again.
And here's the crazy thing. Even without all the discipline for food, the aerobics class and working out *is* working!!! I stepped on the scale this morning, and I learned that I have broken through 30 pounds of weight!!! I am 30 pounds lighter than I was when I began the class in January! My instructor better be prepared, because she is certainly not going to be able to shake me now! I'm there, I'm committed, and I am *excited!*
I will also say this, I am LOVING it!!! Wholeheartedly! I feel better than I have in years, and I will do anything to keep this high going for as long as I can! :)

Hi, I've got a 2004 model single pivot design Marin Rock Springs. I use the bike daily and recently the air pressure in the rear shock has needed topping up every week. The OEM shock is 185mm but 190mm seems to be a standard and there is much more choice in this size. There seems to be plenty of clearance for an extra 5mm and my question is: has anybody put a 190mm shock in a 185mm frame such as this and what are the potential pitfalls?
Alternatively, will a shock service by Mojo Suspension UK be likely to resolve the problem?

VIX Dumps To 13.00 As Stocks Catch Down To Risk
UPDATE: VIX and SPX have recoupled
Given the compression in realized volatility and surge in stocks, it is not totally surprising that spot VIX would see some catch down compression. Sure enough, spot VIX just plunged to 13.00 (for the first time in almost 6 years). Stocks are falling as VIX is falling though - in a convergence from yesterday's gap-open. Longer-date VIX futures are also falling but not as much - implying further debt-ceiling deadline steepeners being laid out.
VIX vs SPX...
Implied vol has tracked realized vol almost prefectly (lower pane) for the last few weeks...
- advertisements -
VIX the graveyard for falling machette catchers.
Couldn't agree with you more on that statement.
That rubber band will eventually break if you keep pulling on it like that.
Come on Ben push it down to 10...I dare you.
There's almost nothing left to trade.
It's either extremely low volatility or extremely high volatility.
No other option.
Hindu Cow-ville... [one peg from Alfred E Newman-ville]
Straight up slaughterhouse for people just getting into the market thinking 'gee, I should "invest" my money in the stock market.' Some people simply don't understand that markets are no mo. Whatever 'credibility' there was left in trading disappeared with the algos.
On that note... HOW THE HELL IS FB $30!? WTF!
In the year 2019 ~ FB will still be trading at $30 [by Nexus 6 replicants who do slave labor in the out colonies]... But a few will jump their programming and come back to Earth searching for Tyrell Zuckerberg so they can gouge his eyes out...
Most pathetic exit strategy ever. We're gonna see the .com 2.0 bust pretty soon here. Nothing to 'innovate' on after this though. Both hardware and software have been stalling for a while now. The exponential thing is flattening out.
"I'll see your 10, and raise you to 9!"
To be expected. We are in, say it with me now, an ECONOMIC RECOVERT! EVERY metric of economic measurement is showing RECOVERY not collapse. I don't understand the overall bearishness and hatred towards economic policy makers on this website.
I tried, I really did. But I keep chortling every time I say Economic Rec.. There I go again.
I'll believe in a recovery when I see the labor participation rate start to improve.
vix at 13 ... looks like a chance to pick up some otm vix calls ...
Per Armstrong:
The next three weeks will be choppy with the primary targets being the weeks of 01/28, 02/11, and 03/11. We have Weekly Bullish Reversals at 1365810 and 1369790. These define the overhead resistance. The Weekly Bearish start at 1309150. Our Minor Month Bullish Reversal stands at 1333180 while the Majors are 1399470, 1412110, and 1428000 just above the 2007 high. The Yearly Bullish Reversal still stands at 1333825. This was not elected at the close of 2012 and remains initial resistance during 2013. Major support for 2013 lies at 1102500-1060500 with initial yearly support at 1165500.
The Daily Bearish Reversals at 1330955, 1329335, 1312900, and 1309480. The key days ahead will be 01/23 with high volatility starting 01/24.
tvix is going to get another 10-1 split in a few weeks at this rate
wait,what a plunge! 2 ES points or 0,1%?
does Durden look at ACTUAL charts and not VIX, HYIG or his "context charts"? The uptrend continues.Buy the the dip:)
Yo Tyler,whens Tha plunge?
of which year ? this doom and gloomn site suggested the uptrend is over at about ES 1200.Now close to 1500.
"They" may run this mkt months and years while sheep short.
It may be near-suicide to fight the Fed with their infinite printing machine, but it can hardly be called sheep-like. It is afterall fighting the power, is it not?
Herd following sheep behavior is more the opposite, the cheerleaders lining up behing the kleptocrats even as the real economy dies.
Total VXX surpression!!! How I do not know, but it is like the FEDNY kiteing this market.
VIX in freefall at 12.50 = nothing to worry about forever and ever
VIX still collapsing at 12.45...do I hear 12?
The ticker that keeps on giving, TVIX from $10,000 to $5.50 in under 3 years
Are you all watching this...amazing...what the eff is going on given the world today? Talk about death of the stock market which in itself is amazing given that Ben has basically gone all in trying to push savers out of bonds and savings accounts into the market...shocking

Kids Don't Float: A Drowning Prevention Program Webinar will be held May 19, 2011, 3.00-4.00 p.m., EDT.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one in five fatal drowning victims are children 14 years old and younger. For every child who dies from drowning, another four receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries.
This Southeast Region Injury Control Network (SERICN) webinar discusses the drowning prevention program, Kids Don't Float (KDF). KDF is a statewide injury prevention program that was developed to address Alaska's high child and youth drowning rate. A collaborative effort between several state and federal agencies, organizations, and local grassroots sponsors, KDF includes both a life jacket loaner station component and an educational component.
The webinar will be moderated by EDC's Smita Varia, the Children's Safety Network Technical Assistance Specialist for the Southeast Region.

Started from the bottom now we're here. You just sang that! And, chances are you've been singing it since its February release. Will Drizzy get your vote for Viewers' Choice?
"Swimming Pools" was not only a hit record but it was a universal party anthem, thus its nomination for the Coca-Cola Viewers' Choice. Was this the soundtrack to your late nights and early mornings?
At the ripe age of 25 she's already one of the best-selling artists of all time. "Diamonds," the lead single from her certified-platinum album Unapologetic, continues her winning streak. Will Rih-Rih get your vote?
JT and Jay-Z teamed up to create the banger "Suit & Tie," which quickly emerged as a fan favorite. Was it yours?
Will "Problems" be the answer for the Coca-Cola Viewers' Choice Award? You decide!
Being dubbed a modern day R&B classic, having taken over the airwaves and countdowns, it's no wonder that "Adorn" is in the running for the Coca-Cola Viewers' Choice Award. Is it your pick?

It never fails. Every year, thousands of women make
resolutions to do things differently. Some vow to lose weight and
others to lead a healthier lifestyle.
If yours is to make a little more time for yourself in the
style department, then allow me to give you a few
I've made a few style resolutions myself, and now that we
are three months into the New Year I've only kept up with one. But
with spring and summer slowly approaching, I'm hoping to keep up
with the other two.
After researching ways to keep up with my resolutions, I
found an interesting article . . .
Recent research has shown that while 52 percent of
participants in a resolution study were confident of success with
their goals, only 12 percent actually achieved their goals.
Furthermore, the same study shows that women succeeded 10 percent
more when they made their goals public and got support from their
So grab your girlfriend and make things happen with these
three easy-to-follow steps.
Know your body
Most think that the secret to being stylish lies in the
ability of picking out clothes and following trends. That couldn't
be further from the truth. Identifying your body type is the
initial step. Knowing your body type will help you determine what
will and will not work for you, hence making getting dressed a
little easier.
Once you've done that you're half way there.
Get Comfortable
Comfort is the epitome of style.
Choosing clothing that is comfortable never means
having to forgo looking good. The key to having the best of both
worlds is to simply opt for pieces that feel great on!
For one, fabrics play a huge role! Always choose one that
feels soft on your skin. With warmer months around the corner,
opting for lighter, breathable textures is never a bad
Apart from fabric, fit is also very important. I
personally love loose fitting tops as I feel most comfortable in
But the "fit" does not necessarily refer to how loose or
tight the garment is, but also to its size. I always encourage
ladies to have a tailor. Why? Because we shop in stores that make
sizes for the general public and sometimes those sizes just don't
work for us. A dress could be the perfect length but may need to be
taken in just a little bit. A tailor can have that taken in for
less than a week's worth of coffees, and voila! You have the
perfect fit.
Think about it
Did you know that dressing affects the mind? I recently
read an article on Vogue.com which explored a theory based on a
study published on the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology's
The study tested people on their ability to perform based
on their attire. Subjects were divided in groups. Some donned white
coats that (they) thought belonged to doctors while the others wore
street clothes. The study proved that those in the white coats
performed better than those in street clothes and that their focus
was heightened when they actually put on the coats.
The phenomenon is called "enclothed cognition" meaning
that if your brain links certain pieces of clothing or brands to
certain events or situation, you're likely to take on those
attributes when you wear those items.
Since reading that article it takes me twice as long to
get dressed.
Now that you have these tools in hand, go forth and be

Condolences have been pouring in to the Facebook page of Greek Islands Café where this announcement was posted Tuesday: "It saddens me to announce the passing of owner Jerry G. Bishop. His memory will live on through his wife (Liz), kids and friends."
The Seaport Village restaurant and its sister Italian pizzeria, Asaggio, were labors of love for the former radio and TV personality, born Jerry Ghan, who became a household fixture in San Diego as co-host of KFMB-TV's popular "Sun Up San Diego" morning show from 1978 to 1990.
Many folks had no idea Bishop had traveled with the Beatles on their 1965 and 1966 U.S. tours or that, in his Chicago radio and TV days, he gained renown as a guitar-playing hippie with long green hair and beard who hosted a TV horror movie show. His coffin-sleeping character, "Svengoolie," was inducted into the Horror Host Hall of Fame in 2011.
A family member confirms that the two Seaport Village eateries Bishop loved so much will continue operating, as in recent years, under the management of his daughter, Melissa Moore, and his son, Christopher.
Hot topic: The wedding plans of former San Diego Congressman Bill Lowery went up in smoke, you might say. Lowery, a San Diego city councilman at age 30 who later served in Congress from 1981 to 1993, was planning to marry Rhonda Sonnenberg in Yosemite National Park on Sept. 1. The couple was already there when smoke and ash from area wildfires dictated a change of venue.
After a flurry of calls and emails to guests, some already en route, the couple drove south to exchange vows at the newly renovated Tom Ham's Lighthouse in San Diego. Veteran political consultant George Gorton, who worked with Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Pete Wilson, Boris Yeltsin, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others, officiated.
Among attendees were Ben and Ann Haddad, David and Annie Malcolm and Pat Shea and his wife, Diann Shipione, who blew the whistle on this city's pension scandal nine years ago. Brother Steve Lowery was best man.
Ironic footnote: The bridegroom, now a lobbyist on Capitol Hill, first wanted to get married at the Burning Man event in Nevada.
Centenarian: When Sheldon "Shelly" Brockett, a retired San Diego dentist, turned 90, 146 people came to his party. Brockett, who still works out at the gym twice a week, celebrated his 100th birthday Saturday. This time, 150 people turned out. Apparently, he is still picking up friends. One is Steve Cushman, recently named "Mr. San Diego" 2013, who remembers that Brockett extracted his four wisdom teeth — 61 years ago.

Nelson's teach-in idea makes Time magazine
Explore the Congressional Record of October 8, 1969 as Sen Gaylord Nelson proposes a national teach-in on the crisis of the environment, and describes news coverage of the event already happening in major news outlets.
Download this Nelson Collection document as a PDF
In this page from the October 8, 1969 Congressional Record, Gaylord Nelson announces a "national teach-in on the crisis of the environment" and reads to the Senate two of the first major notices to appear in the press about his proposal.
Nelson had sent these same clippings out in to editors across the country two days earlier. He had first suggested the idea of coordinated college-campus events on "The Crisis of the Environment" just over two weeks earlier in a speech in Seattle to a fledging conservation group. His remarks were reported in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and relayed by AP and UPI wire stories.
The Milwaukee Journal editorial reprinted here was likely the first opinion piece to mention the teach-in in a major newspaper. That it deems the plan "not a bad idea" is unsurprising. The paper supported Nelson consistently, was reliably liberal across the board, and had been a supporter of the local Socialist Party earlier in the century. It came earlier to environmental journalism than many of its peers, earning a Pulitzer for its 1966 feature series on pollution, "The Spreading Menace."
But getting the teach-ins written up in Time magazine was the real coup. Time was a leading popular periodical with 3 million readers in 1960. Like the Milwaukee Journal, it had been steadily reporting on ecological matters for a few years. In 1965, shortly after running a piece titled "Ecology: Time for a Transfusion," the October 1 feature story details the "worldwide use and misuse" of water. The cover of the January 27, 1967 issue presents an aerial view of downtown Los Angeles obscured by a cloak of smog. And articles, columns, and letters appeared regularly since the middle of the decade covering the latest findings about environmental threats, chiefly air and water pollution.
However, this short story in Time about Nelson's teach-ins sticks out from its other environmental coverage. Here the angle is not the degradation of the planet but the activists looking to do something about it. The author makes a subtle, playful reference to the campus uprisings of recent years–a connection press coverage in the coming weeks would explicitly question.
By the end of November 1969, the teach-in would receive much more extensive coverage in Newsweek, the New York Times, and other major media outlets.
However, for many Earth Day organizers, these first notices were all the encouragement they needed. Before Nelson had assembled his coordinating team in Washington or even set a date, students and citizens around the country got to work planning what would become the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970.

Season recap: James Padgett
James Padgett has always been a man of few words.
The Brooklyn (N.Y.) Lincoln power forward famously told one Maryland recruiting site that his official visit to College Park was "fair," just days before committing to UM.
But Padgett took his strong-and-silent persona to another level last December, according to Lincoln head coach Dwayne "Tiny" Morton.
"The most important part of his senior year was when he got injured," Morton said. "He sprained his ankle ... [when he] went up for a dunk and came down awkwardly before the game started. ... We were playing Duncanville (Texas) on TV and he didn't even tell anybody [he sprained his ankle]. But he kept working, kept playing and didn't quit."
The Railsplitters suffered a 77-57 loss that day, but Morton said what stood out most about the game was Padgett's toughness.
The 6-foot-8, 220-pounder was slowed by the ankle injury for much of his senior year, but he played through the pain. Lincoln hit its stride once his health improved. While Maryland target and five-star shooting guard Lance Stephenson drew all the accolades for turning in 30-point performances on a nightly basis, Padgett did the oft-overlooked dirty work in the post.
"He did a great job," Morton said. "He had a great end to his senior year. He probably averaged 18 [points] and 12 [rebounds] in the playoffs. He made a couple All-City first teams and we won our fourth city championship in a row. ... He brought a lot of leadership. He always kind of led quietly by example."
After the season, Padgett faced a minor dilemma. NCAA rules permit student-athletes to participate in no more than two postseason all-star games. Earlier this year, Padgett was picked to play in the Jordan Brand Classic Regional All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden. The event was Padgett's last chance to play on his hometown's biggest stage.
But when Padgett was invited to play in the Charm City Challenge at the Towson Center and the Capital Classic at American University's Bender Arena, the decision was simple.
"When I heard about [those all-star games], I thought it was a great situation for Padgett," Morton said. "I know he wants to get used to playing in front of the Maryland fans and they're not used to seeing him. So I was kind of happy he got used to playing down there."
At Charm City, Padgett earned MVP honors, scoring 22 points on 11-for-13 shooting. Four days later in Washington, Padgett contributed four points and a team-high seven rebounds.
Both all-star game performances ramped up expectations for Padgett among Maryland fans, but Morton said that's fine. He expects Padgett to go about his business as usual upon arrival in College Park.
"He just has to play to his potential," Morton said. "I don't think they're going to push him too hard, expecting too much from him. They love his potential, which I'm happy about. ... I think once he gets down there and gets his strength together, he's going to be OK."

FORT COLLINS - It's a technology that President Obama mentioned in the State of the Union address: 3D printing. The technology, which starts as a computer design and ends as a solid object, is taking hold worldwide.
"Almost everything will be 3D printed in the future: Clothing, shoes, food, jewelry, automobiles, homes," Terry Wohlers said.
Wohlers is a Fort Collins-based 3D printing expert who consults for the White House and the country of Australia, among others.
"3D printing is to take a computer model, a 3-dimensional model, and to slice it up into thin horizontal cross-sections, digitally, and then to print each of those cross sections layer after layer," Wohlers said.
Schools and businesses around Colorado are using 3D printers.
One Fort Collins-based company, Cyclopital 3D, is using 3D printing to create camera accessories for 3D cameras.
"This is a new industrial revolution for manufacturing," Tanya Alsip with Cyclopital said.
The company doesn't need expensive molds. Instead, they design the parts and own the printers, and they ship their products worldwide.
"It gives us the ability to create niche products in low volumes and be able to deliver them," Alsip said.
Whether it's a niche product or a mainstream one, 3D printing is already being used by many large corporations to build scaled-down prototypes of intricate parts. The technology is advancing.
On Monday afternoon, Wohlers pointed out many 3D printed items in his office that included a guitar, a hip implant, even a glove.
Though many 3D printers are entering the consumer market, Wohlers believes that people will pick out the designs and have others print them in the future. He doesn't believe everybody will own one.

Eagles getting tight ends more involved?
There is no data to display.
Zach Ertz (left) and Brent Celek combined for eight catches, 69 yards and two touchdowns in Oakland. (USA Today Images)
Before the season began, Chip Kelly and Pat Shurmur talked a lot about the Eagles using sets with multiple tight ends in order to take advantage of the versatile players they have at that position. Despite those preseason proclamations, Eagles tight ends have been better –- or at least more noticeable -– as blockers this year than pass-catchers.
That trend changed last weekend in Oakland. Brent Celek was targeted four times, catching three passes for 27 yards and a touchdown. Rookie Zach Ertz had five catches on six targets -- both of which were season highs –- for 42 yards and a touchdown.
It was the most combined targets and catches for Celek and Ertz in a single game this season. Were they effective because quarterback Nick Foles had an historic afternoon? And did their combined success have anything to do with the Eagles using them in two-tight end sets?
"I don't know if you can put both together like that –- Nick's good because we have two tight ends in the game," Chip Kelly said. "It's usually you're trying to look at what the defense is doing to you and try to match that in terms of that standpoint. If you had a hot guy –- if all of a sudden we had [two tight ends] in the game and the tight ends had 18 catches, now you're saying there's something to that. We don't look at it and say 'Nick is in a little bit more of a rhythm because [two tight ends] are in the game as opposed to [one]."
When asked if the Eagles made a concerted effort to get Celek and Ertz more involved as pass catchers against the Raiders, Shurmur said their success in Oakland "was just the flow of the game."
"We've got plays where they're first or second in the progression," the offensive coordinator continued. "And then there were plays in the [Oakland] game when they caught the ball when they were third or fourth in the progression. It's just the way the game flows."
Shurmur pointed to Ertz's touchdown –- his first NFL score –- as an example of a play where the tight ends are involved but not the primary receiving option.
"We hit [Zach] Ertz on a touchdown throw, and he was really not the primary read as you saw," Shurmur said. "Nick pump faked and he scrambled and was in the right spot and was able to catch the ball. He caught a touchdown in that case, but he was not the primary throw."
Ertz has 19 catches to Celek's 17 this season, despite the fact that Celek has played 76 percent of the team's offensive snaps while Ertz has been on the field for 39 percent.
"Every week we want to make plays, whether it's in the run game or the pass game," Ertz said. "I think we had our number called a few times [in Oakland] and we made the most of our opportunities. ... We think, as tight ends, since it is your position group, that we can do it all –- whether it's line up out wide or in the slot or blocking."

These students at Alphonsus Academy and Center for the Arts learn in all of the traditional ways. They recite multiplication tables and write papers. But this year, they have been learning in non-traditional ways as well. In particular, they have used the visual arts to reinforce classroom lessons under a program led by resident artist Meltem Aktas. "If they're learning about the Egyptians, I teach them Egyptian art," she says.
The program has several goals, Aktas says: To teach the children through art, to teach them to love art and to help them develop their own artistic skills—which means that sometimes, the kids simply do an unrelated art project.
In addition, the school also brings in poets, writers, musicians and other performers to expose children to many forms of art. The program has proven particularly popular with the preschoolers and their parents, says Barbara Rieckhoff, principal of this Catholic school, 1439 W. Wellington Ave., Chicago. Cindy Richards

Stem Cells, Alzheimer's Disease and U.S. Politics
Even if stem cell research could lead to a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, proponents face a number of political hurdles. Some of the most promising stem cells — cells that can "learn" to become any type of cell in the human body — come from human embryos. NPR's Mike Pesca analyzes who's pushing the issue, and who's just hoping it goes away.

Coach: Shane Fletcher (38-44) 8 Years
Last Postseason Appearance: 2012 Bi-District Finalist
Players to Watch: RB Solomon Titus, DB Justin Bennett, RB Dylan Monck, OL Dylan Pelton, QB Ryan Nixon
Preview: The Leonard Tigers will be a tough matchup this season. RB Solomon Titus is explosive and will put up big numbers. Expect for him to be the district MVP. A good line will provide the holes, OL Dylan Pelton will be counted on to anchor it. Fletcher is excited about the upcoming season, and why not? Play-makers like RB Dylan Monck and QB Ryan Nixon should provide the points.
Is this the year Leonard finally takes down Gunter? This is their best chance in recent years. Gunter is missing senior leadership and this year could be the Tigers of Leonard that finally break through.

I voted for Crystal Dust, and I know it's just 'another remake', but I really enjoyed (the original) Crystal- it being my favourite Pokemon game. This remake unlike some others does stick to the original, but that's what I like. I like Pokemon Crystal, not Pokemon Crystal with a gazillion of fan-made rivals (although I must admit I did really enjoy Shiny Gold when it was hip.) Not only that, but a lot of effort has gone into the hack, such as changing the TMs and HMs, the modification of the PokeNav to the PokeGear, a Emerald game having two regions and more! I just can not express how much I enjoyed it, and I am eagerly awaiting the next beta.
