text: India's Big Daddy Customs has made a Moon Rover. What's that? It's a Tata Safari SUV (pictured at right) made to look like a Range Rover Evoque, but only really from the front, at a low angle, ideally in low light and assuming you'd never seen a real Evoque or the donor vehicle before. To get an idea of dimensions, the Evoque is a couple inches wider than a Safari, but the Safari is nearly a foot longer and more than a foot taller.

Colombia: Talks Stall on Release of Hostages Held by E.L.N
Among the numerous tragedies resulting from the decades- long Colombian conflict is the plight of hundreds of civilians who have been kidnapped by armed groups and held for months, and in some cases, years. Negotiations to free seven foreigners being held by the Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional (ELN) broke down just as success seemed assured.
Four Israelis, a German, a Spaniard, and two Britons were seized while visiting the archeological ruins at Ciudad Perdida in the northern Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. One Briton, teenager Matthew Scott, managed to escape by jumping from a high ravine during a forced march, and he has since been reunited with his family in Great Britain.
The other hostages are Israelis Beni Daniel, Ortaz Ohayon, Ido Joseph Guy, and Erez Altawil; Spaniard Asier Huegun Etxeberria; Briton Mark Henderson; and German Reinhilt Weigel.
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe reportedly offered to temporarily free ELN leader Francisco Galan from prison to help facilitate the hostages' safe release.
The UN said it "took seriously" the ELN's announcement to free the hostages. "We have been informed of the ELN's proposal to free its seven foreign hostages starting next week" with its sole condition being the presence of the commission, a UN spokesperson told the press.
Church attempts to mediate release
Luis Alberto Giraldo Jaramillo, archbishop of Medellin, who was authorized to negotiate with the ELN by the Colombian government, said that the group planned to release the hostages one by one, starting with Huegun, a Spaniard from that country's Basque region.
In mid-October, the ELN had announced that it would release Huegun alone, provided that politicians and media came from Spain, Galan was freed, and the Colombian military--which had been searching for the hostages--suspended operations in the area. Uribe rejected the demands, and Huegan's release was called off.
Archbishop Giraldo announced the proposed release after talks with Galan, who was being held in Itagui prison just outside the city of Medellin. The archbishop said the hostages would be handed over to a commission made up of priests from the Catholic Church, a representative of the UN, and two guerrilla commanders, Galan and Felipe Torres. Afterwards, Galan would return to prison.
Giraldo said the ELN's Comando Central decided to free the tourists as a "gesture for the future" of the country. "The ELN accepted the proposal of the church to free the foreigners in their power," he said.
In exchange for freeing the hostages, Giraldo said that the government had agreed to send a humanitarian team to visit the Sierra Nevada area, 1,000 km from Bogota, where the hostages were taken, to look into the plight of impoverished people who live there.
In a communique issued two weeks after the tourists were kidnapped, the ELN said it had seized them to raise awareness of what it claimed was the suffering of the mainly Indian inhabitants of the region. …

The Masque of the Red Death
by Edgar Allan Poe
Art Imagery
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
A lot of the same stuff that suggests the masquerade is a dream – hat sense of unreality, hypermeaningfulness, exaggerated colors and imagery – may also suggest that the masquerade is a product of the imagination…an artist's imagination. For more on the art theme, check out Prospero's character analysis.

Dec. 15, 1999 (Minneapolis) -- Even if teen athletes view success as "how you played the game," they may feel that their parents define success as winning, according to Spanish researchers. These athletes also are more likely to have peers who support their point of view, the authors report in a recent article in the International Journal of Sports Psychology.
However, athletes who define success as winning are likely to feel that parents, coaches, and peers share their view, write lead researcher Amparo Escartí and colleagues. The possibility of these two attitudes are important for athletes, their parents, and their coaches to bear in mind, Darren Treasure, PhD, tells WebMD.
"This study is one of several sports psychology studies that looks at how athletes' [views of success] are formed," says Treasure. "How success is perceived affects people's performance in sports. Those who perceive success as winning do fine as long as they're winning but become discouraged in adverse settings. In those settings, athletes who perceive success as doing well continue to persist and do well." Treasure is an assistant professor of sport and exercise psychology at Arizona State University in Tempe.
In a survey of 90 male and 44 female high school track and tennis athletes, the Spanish investigators asked athletes how they defined success, how their parents and coaches defined it, and how their friends defined it. Friends were categorized into those who were involved in athletics and those who were not. The average age of respondents was 15.
Respondents were considered task-oriented if they viewed success in terms of whether they were performing as well as possible, mastering skills, and overcoming difficulties. Respondents were more ego-oriented if they defined success as performing in a manner superior to opponents and beating other people. They found that athletes who were more task-oriented felt that their criteria for success differed from those of their parents and coaches, whom they saw as more ego-oriented, but similar to those of their task-oriented peers. More ego-oriented respondents were more likely to feel that their success criteria were in agreement with those of both their peers and the adults in their lives.

In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Hi all,
I'm planning to call my doctor first thing in the morning, but wanted to see if anyone has any experience.
I had a D&C last Monday, March 22. I had light spotting for about 2 days then infrequent spotting (like once a day) after that. Sunday it got a little heavier and today I feel like I am having a full blown period - lots of thick clotting and some tissue and period cramping.
Does anyone know if this is common following a D&C or if I should be concerned?

Ok after all the GA debates where people talk about these people with their Coach bags and Iphones and Escalades on GA.....
I finally saw a Coach bag today for the first time ever (yes, really). Or at least the first time I noticed the brand name.
I was at a kid's play area and another parent had one.
Why are they so expensive? Quite frankly it looked ugly, bulky, and not very functional at all.
What is the appeal?
(No I do not want one I was just curious)
(this is NOT a GA debate, I have no clue if the owner was or was not on GA and I honestly don't give a *#&%)

Many of our western stories laud the bravery of our ancestors who went west to seek their fortune or to establish their new homes. Those of us who enjoy living in Vernon County are possibly descendants of a person, or a couple, who left their families and security "back east" to find new land. I am grateful to them for settling here eventually and have no desire to push further west.
But the real heroes of that movement were the parents who were left behind. The mother and/or father left waving at the door of their home in Virginia or Ohio have my sympathy. They knew that they would probably not know what happened to their loved ones for months, and maybe never.
In the earlier years of the western migration there was very little chance to send any word back home. Later there was the opportunity to send a telegram or give a letter to a wagon master who was going back for another group of settlers. But in the meantime the parents couldn't know if their children were thriving or dying.
During my childhood, my father traveled away from home on his job. Every night he would send a telegram to my mother telling her where he was staying and where he would be the next day. Since he traveled by train he would spend his time writing business letters, but he would also write to his children and brothers.
In turn, our mother would write him of details of life at home. When we children began to leave home we knew that no less than once a week we would get a letter from our mother including all the news from home and from our other siblings. She expected the same from us.
When we all reached adulthood we began a family round robin which continued for several decades. Now, electronically, our children and grandchildren are continuing this practice.
In addition to the group letters through the round robin, there are frequent individual letters, and many of the family members are on Facebook or text each other frequently.
I check my e-mail several times a day and have certain relatives and friends that I correspond with regularly. In fact if I don't get an e-mail every few days from my sister I call her to be sure she is OK She always is OK, but sometimes her computer is acting up.
Also I know if I don't receive an e-mail from our daughter in Texas by noon each day she is home sick, or is so overloaded with work at the office that she couldn't take her usual morning break. Because she knows that I will worry, she will let me know the day before if she will be out of the office for some reason, or if she expects to be very busy.
I know I am spoiled. I grew up knowing that it was right to write. My children are good about continuing the tradition and I rejoice in that.
That is why I feel so much admiration and respect for those parents of the past who willingly, or unwillingly, watched their children leave home to go to an unknown future.
How valued it would have been for them to have received even a monthly message. We should know how blessed we are to be able to stay in touch with those we love. So don't forget to write!

affecting a decided change in the direction of traction. The operation has the disadvantage that it requires extensive dissection and handling of tissues deep in the abdominal wall.
Of the various methods of utilizing the round ligaments after the abdomen is open, the one I have found most useful is practically the Gilliam-Ferguson operation. Instead of following the usual technic, however, I find that the work can be more conveniently and expeditiously executed by passing a puncturing tenaculum forceps (Fig. 1) through the wall, grasping the ligament directly and bringing it out along the forceps track. The exact technic preferred for the class of cases under consideration is shown in detail in the following steps:
1. The special work for which the abdominal cavity was opened having been completed, the left round ligament is grasped with an ordinary tenaculum forceps about 1½ inches from the uterus. The right ligament is

Here Is What The Real Fear Index Is Saying
With so many talking heads claiming the 8% drop in stocks and VIX's jump back above 20% as a sure-fire indication that the market is in chaos and needs Fed help stat, we remind readers that VIX reflects a contemporaneous premium for up/down movements in the future offering little insight into downside risk per se and more reflective of a regime shift in market volatility - i.e. a rising VIX means market participants expect the markets to move around more (up and/or down).
While looking at the difference between VIX (forward volatility) and current realized volatility can offer insight into participant's concerns (or the difference between out-of-the-money volatility vs at-the-money volatility - or skew), there is a cleaner (and smoother - less spike and decay-like) way of judging the level of concern in trader's heads.
The implied correlation, a topic we have discussed in the past at length, quantifies the difference between the index's volatility and the summation of the underlying volatility of the names in an index. In a nutshell, the implied correlation measures the relative demand for instant liquid index macro protection relative to its underlying names (a slower less liquid way to protect yourself). The higher the correlation, the greater the risk of a very significant downside move (since correlations tend to approach 1 when systemically bad events occur).
By implicitly measuring the market's demand for this relative protection - and its implicit downside risk sentiment - implied correlation is much more applicable as a measure of investor sentiment.
Currently, implied correlation is rising rapidly - a worrying trend - and has broken back above 70% (a critical threshold from last September when capital market risk became epic). We will be watching implied correlation closely - especially relative to VIX - to get a handle on the market's relative demand for downside protection and thus a real 'fear' index (as opposed to a 'movement' index).
VIX remains useful in a self-fulfilling way since so many market participants watch it but with ETFs impacting the short-dated vol markets more and more, we suspect implied correlation (with its 'relative' measure of risk) may well become more focused upon.
- advertisements -
Hey, where's our regular fix of where the USA national debt is at man..we need our fix..are we there yet? Is it used?
I always get confused by the VIX.
When it is high that means people are fearful, worried and panicky about the markets crashing? Right?
When it is low that means people are calm and relaxed about the markets and believe the markets will rise? Right?
And the contratrarian investor sells stocks when the VIX is low and buys stocks when the VIX is high? Right?
So a rising VIX now is signs of people getting worried about a crash coming? And when it gets really high the crash will - FINALLY - be here and all us contra types can go out and buy stocks on the cheap?
I wish this crash would hurry up and come!
VIX is just a volatility index. It doesn't infer direction, just magnitude of expected future movements. It's often cited as the "fear index" because people get panicked by volatility. But there's a difference between avoiding volatility/getting to the sideline and layering in downside protection.
I'm thinking it is a MOPE index. They know you still look at it.
My gold gets shinier when implied correlation rises. So I agree its a good fear index. ;)
when sabra1 was wee little, momma used to rub vix vapo rub on my hairless chest!
Maybe it should be called the "schizophrenia" index
...we remind readers that VIX reflects a contemporaneous premium for up/down movements in the future offering little insight into downside risk per se and more reflective of a regime shift in market volatility - i.e. a rising VIX means market participants expect the markets to move around more (up and/or down).
Not quite. An X% down move will typically boost VIX more than an X% up move.
Outside of financial markets, "volatility" implies erratic, unpredictable or sudden action in an unknown direction but up is less "volatile" as measured by option pricing than down (even if neither movement is particularly "volatile" in the above sense). So, maybe "fear index" or "uncertainty gauge" is actually a more accurate description of what is being measured.
Anyone can see that more uncertainty is associated with down than up because markets tend not to make sudden, massive up moves like they can/do to the downside. And most of the sudden, big upside moves that there have been in market history were likely preceded by big, sudden legs down (bounces essentially). At any given time the S&P 500 (for instance) is probably more likely to drop 10% than pop 10% in a single day even though the long term bias is up. This means higher options prices and thus a greater impact on the VIX etc. Even if you're net short, a falling market usually begets more market participant uncertainty than a rising market and that gets reflected in premiums.
I would think that the ability to sell rich index options and buy cheap individual equity options would keep implied coorelation more or less in line.
An X% down move will typically boost VIX more than an X% up move.
On a nominal scale, yes, because price distributions are skewed to the upside (lognormal).
have you met my friend Kurt?
Kurt Osis?
He's neat
But seriosly,
Cox, Ross, Rubinstein took care of all of this. It's binomial distribution, not Gaussian
Why do I think you have a picture of an abacus on your wall?
keep reading zH, slewie...
maybe you'll understand this someday?
where can I see this implied correlation? BigCharts? Stockcharts.com?
Be nice to keep an eye on it.
VIX is not a great product. It basically goes up when SP goes down and vice versa. If you plot inverse VIX with SP500 they correlate very well.
Except that it's not a product, it's an index. Sure, you can trade ETFs that try to mirror the VIX but none ever really do perfectly because they hold VIX futures, which is not the same as the VIX itself, at best it's a proxy. Not to mention, said products suffer from contango risk and counterparty risk.
That said, I will dabble in volatility ETFs as short trades. None of these instruments do you want to hold long term because you will get hammered over the long term.
Hi Tyler,
First many, many thanks for all your contributions! They've been a huge help to me in increasing my understanding of what's happening as well as helping me make good decisions.
You say: "The higher the correlation, the greater the risk of a very significant downside move (since correlations tend to approach 1 when systemically bad events occur)."
Therefore, I find the following confusing and am hoping you can explain:
1. Why is there no rise before August 2011, when a huge downside move occurred?
2. The chart peaks (approaching 1.0) in December 2012. What was the "very significant" downside move then?
How are you suggesting this chart is useful - correlating (on a probability basis) with what phenomena? and historically correlated to what events/phenomena?
Thank you!
Because the guy who writes these option articles kind of gets it,
the correlation is the options of the indidvidual stocks that make up the spx vs the actual spx
firms like IB (timber hill) started vol arbing the 2 long ago because the 500 stocks options have a higher combined vol than their final index. why? because enron can and did go to zero while the spx lived on. indidvidual event risk. HFT trading fits nicely into these correlations as well. So you sell vol in 500 stocks and buy it in the spx to complete the arb. But when the shit hits the fan you yocals start buying panic insurance at any price. signaling the capitulation
Is TZA one of the Vixes? Have studied this a lot and some people are posting that they see a flag in the TZA right now perhaps up to 30. Is that reasonable? I anticipate some more bearishness and I don't want to have an indicator that doesn't follow through, kind of like what the old ZH post about the warning of VIX was about.
the best tip I can give you is don't take tips.
Thank you for clearing up this widely-held misconception. VIX has absolutely nothing to do with measuring 'fear'. It strongly correlates with a measurement of the average daily price range. It measures fear in so much that declining days typically have larger ranges than advancing days.
Awesome post - thank you
QE already priced into the market. The fear is that it won't come.
so in a nutshell, people are more worried about losing a little money than making a lot of money. sounds about right.
....and with so many retail investors out of this market, the VIX is mostly manufactured goo done by the bankstas, institutionals (now run out of Belleview, by the way), and hedge(hog) funds.
...ergo......just another indicator.....and not a trusty one to boot...it kinda........BLOWS UP...then calms down....THEN GOES BERSERK AGAIN.....
and then goes back to sleep.....
...much like the EUR/CHF today.......WTF was that action?!
Some Euro-trader hit the wrong button.....meirde!
Back to bed....
The VIX is the implied volatility of the "at the money" front month straddle of the S&P 500 cash. I don't know what the hell these jokers are talking about.
Obamics: Money is War
Bad assumption. War is war. Money incrementally displaces the center of the field before quantum commencement.
The basic algorithm of History repeats because empires are built and destroyed as an example, to future generations. Civil marriage is for the majority, which wants to be told what needs to be done, so they can tell others what to do after the meeting, which, along with ready access to a ponzi slave population, themselves in the future, requires something other than garbage as the input, and a corrective feedback mechanism to handle 20 layers of garbage multiplier effects in the obfuscation. Both mechanisms are the same, the looking glass, which balances the resulting gravity on the edge until use.
Obama is a downstream derivative, playing war games with money like his predecessors. As legacy assets and their resolute owners become obsolete with recognition, they must accelerate ROE transfer and so employ agency to wage war on new family formation at the margin, to delay replacement. Agency is all about delay proliferation through misdirection, hiding nonperforming assets by growing their demand among dependent middle class ponzi consumers, creating a human relativity circuit that a child can see through, which is the point of drugs, like Ritalin, and propaganda, like Harvard, K-12, and early childhood education.
Like everything else in the universe, it's SOP. It's God's world, whether anyone likes it or not, but if you think ahead, you can adjust the gravity of stupidity, because critters "think" their reality into existence with false empire choice. God gives Cain and Abel each a hammer. Abel builds a house. Cain uses his to kill Abel and take the house. Cain is smarter because Abel thought Cain was stupid, and they were both stupid. In the next iteration, they both get lawyers, and start building a prison. Law enforcement is drama on the way to the cliff.
A man needs to make a living, and a woman needs to have children, on a durable platform, hence durable goods orders, which everyone needs regardless of persuasion, and together they have all of nature on their side. Empire is the counterbalance. When agency interferes with the balance, there are several layers of profit on its false assumptions, all subject to reversion now that the replication ponzi is collapsing. Irrational tyranny increases with denial, resulting in accelerated denial of service, in a relatively closed, positive feedback loop.
FIRE grows pot in "its" forest, all expenses paid by the taxpayer, and puts the non-conformers in jail. Same operation in Afghanistan, but with a stiffer sentence. Tobacco served as money for many good reasons, including connectivity to the land, less violence, less hoarding, and it accounted for its own psychological addiction tax. Implicit is best, but anything along the learning curve is better than digital script. The key point in local conversion is that rebooting existing script must be accompanied by a change in behavior that reopens the NPV window, from the bottom up, external dependence price discovery.
War is war, whether through starvation, disease, or bombs. End it swiftly, knowing that robots generate war specifically to get you to give them the technology necessary for the next iteration, as they get farther from nature and closer to the churn pool. You are going to determine the winner, and it doesn't matter which one you choose because they are all a-holes, as you can plainly see. What does matter is that you roll out the product in a manner that provides for your children and their children. It's a time fulcrum, SOP.
Cave dwellers only understand fear. They repeat the past in fear of the past, looking in a rear-view mirror programmed by the empire. Children learn by example, one way or the other, mostly by replication. You cannot force others to raise their spirit from dead DNA. That's something they have to do for themselves.
Humans are born to make mistakes; that's what they do. Robots refuse to admit their mistakes for the benefit of others and move forward. The object is to make original mistakes. The goal is to be human, which you were endowed with at birth. Wealth is about demographics, which is about DNA, which is about breeding.
The robots breed war, recording it as profit. And they have short-circuited themselves again, with digital computers, their latest hammer looking for a nail, resulting in the same outcome, ruination of the currency. Pick up the pieces and make a life with your own mortar.
Stupidity, manufactured crises of, by, and for manufactured majorities, is no reason for an emergency response on your part. All robots make the same offer, non-recurring capital gains for recurring income losses with inflation, playing relativity in opposite directions to record a paper profit, embedding the loss in currency.
Go where you must to keep your eye on the ball and elevate your spirit. Leave the robots to masturbate on empire TV for their own amusement. Tyrants robe themselves in ponzi patriotism (Tyler TM), always with bait and switch wordplay to hide common law, feudalism, in plain sight.
FIRE burns down its own forest accordingly and blames it on Act of God, which it defines. Same sh-show, good-cop-bad-cop, different day. Put the flames out when it suits you, to claw back your income. Police your own first, and others last, to adjust the freedom and security feedback loop.

Fort Bragg AFAP meets to address concerns, offer solutions
October 28, 2011
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - The goal of the Army Family Action Plan is to improve the quality of life for Soldiers, their Families, retirees, surviving spouses and Department of the Army civilians.
In keeping with this goal, Fort Bragg held an AFAP outbrief, Thursday, at the Fort Bragg Club, in which leaders listened to issues and likely solutions from various Army-associated work groups.
On Fort Bragg, once concerns have been presented to leadership, helmed by Col. Stephen Sicinski, Fort Bragg Garrison commander, those concerns may be reviewed and resolved locally or sent forward for consideration by the Headquarters Department of Army.
Issues raised during the outbrief included:
Benefits and entitlements
Raising Child, Youth and School Services awareness
Employment consideration for military retirees
Flexible work environments for surviving spouses
The benefits and entitlement work group pressed for continued coverage under the My Career Advancement Account, which severs coverage once a Soldier is promoted above a qualifying rank. The program, which offers military spouses opportunities to pursue portable careers in high-demand, high-growth occupations such as education and health care, is open to spouses of those in pay grades private to sergeant, warrant officers 1 and 2 and second and first lieutenants.
The eligibility criteria is not clearly stated during the enrollment process.
"I don't believe this was the intent of this program," said Heather Majuri, an AFAP spokesperson.
Majuri's work group recommended that three years are allowed for completion of the program regardless of the servicemember's career progression once a qualified spouse is accepted and enrolled.
"This is clearly something that we need to attempt to change," Sicinski said. "I am more than happy to endorse this one and give it to the senior command."
Raising CYSS awareness could be accomplished by increasing marketing initiative, implementing a quarterly orientation and using Facebook and Twitter to promote new services, programs and opportunities, said Amanda Johnson, also an AFAP spokesperson.
While Executive Order 13473 authorizes employment for spouses of certain members of the armed forces, it does not include the spouses of retirees. During the outbrief, it was one of the issues that the benefits and entitlements work group would like to see resolved. Their solution -- allow the same employment preference as military spouses.
Sicinski said the policy needs some type of change and plans to send it forward.
Other issues addressed include: increasing dental cap coverage for orthodontic care under TRICARE from $1500 to be more in line with the national average, which is in excess of $5000; making adjustments for a continuation of orthodontic care following a permanent change of station move by publishing a list of local, private orthodontic providers who will continue current patient treatment without additional cost or partnering with a national franchise such as 4braces.com.
Also addressed was improving surviving spouse employment options by working with employers to create more flexible employment opportunities.
For more information about the program, contact Kari Gonzalez, AFAP program manager at 396-4447.

Comments On Feb 07, 2015:The grips are nice and comfy. More so than the stock waffle grips I replaced. I doubt the will last as long as the stock grips (1994-2015) but I will take the softer material over the 20yr longevity of the rock hard stock grips.

Comments On Jun 03, 2014:I have these grip on my ltz400 and have had them on there for 2 years. Impressed with the durability and how they handle different conditions. ordering another set for my banshee!

Comments On May 06, 2014:I needed a flanged grip because my thumb throttle was giving me blisters on my index finger. These grips are comfy and have had nice grip in all kinds of weather conditions. They did wear out kind of fast but that's fairly typical in a softer compound grip like this. Mine have lasted a whole year (about 600 miles) and I just ordered 2 more sets for the upcoming years. I had to cut the bottom of the flange off with a pair of scissors so my thumb throttle wouldn't hit it. but that's no biggie.

Sad, isn't it? A note on their website or maybe in the item details on the DataMan app that is still available says they are working on getting it back in the store. Lucky you! Is Pro showing you anything interesting? Are you on ios6?
Sk8Dreams Sep 30, 2012 12:45 PM
in response to Lazykins
I'm not on iOS6 yet. My iPhone is my iBrain. I need it too desperately to dive right in. Will wait till some of the dust settles.
Yes, DataMan Pro does show me some interesting things, but nothing significant. For example, Push Service, which is otherwise invisible to the user, constantly uses small amounts of data (less than 1K) per hour, even when the phone is on wifi and plugged in. iCloud Service also occasionally uses a few K, even though my phone does not use iCloud for anything at all. For example, I read my mail on cellular yesterday, and Mail used 27.7K, Push Service used 76.7K, and iCloud used 35.1K. Now this is not much data, but I would like to understand why Push used more than the open app, Mail. Since I've started using DataMan Pro, I haven't seen any undue cellular usage, but I am very careful to turn cellular off if I'm doing any kind of streaming over wifi. If the connection drops, I don't want a switch to cellular.

Hey everyone on Verizon, please go to Settings > General > About to update carrier services. Hopefully this will help some of us?

Why are Push Notifications using so much data, this is because per apple support doc TS4264, Push notifications will ALWAYS use cellular rather than Wifi and ONLY switch to WiFi if UNABLE to connect via cellular. I have reported this to Apple already, but these data leaks have got to be plugged up.

I am experiencing the same issue, in france.
Since 4 days l saw that my Iphone 5 has reached more than 3200 mb in 4 days ( I mean 400 mo in french)
sorry for my english level, i need to practice !
By the way i am not using the Iphone to download huge applications , i just do a few researches on google, and receive some push mails and push notifications from newspapers.
I am very worried , i can't keep my phone with such data usage !

Apple acknowledges issue and sends a fix to Verizon users phones!
New Knowledge Base for this even.

in response to matrixxzero
Well, we solved our problem last night. We traded in our 5's for some Motorola Droid phones.
I really wanted to like the iPhones. I like my iPad and my MacBook.
But even with the VZ fix, my phone used 3-5 times the data that my husband's did performing the same task over cell network (browse to same site, send an email). The phones got terrible reception in our home and even outdoors in our neighborhood. For me the last straw was that I couldn't restrict the amount of mail data that was downloaded while on cellular data. Full text and attachments were downloaded to phone no matter what.
The cons - Phones are are large. Less intuitive OS. Music's not as easy to load. Am going to miss some of those iPhone apps. Pros - Phones get solid reception and calls are clear with no dropping out. So far, the data usage is okay - the data manager is a good thing to have but the ultimate test will be VZ's billing. Mail saves attachment dowloads for when I choose to retrieve them. I even set up a Smart Action to automatically switch off my cell data for me when I'm home.
I will try again in a couple of years, maybe. For us, it just wasn't worth worrying about data usage every time we used the phone.

I have stopped my data leak! At least for the last 3 hours. The problem is that Apple has too many places to turn off iCloud and it gets you thinking you've iCloud when you haven't. Apple needs to clean this up.
To stop the leak I had to do a number of things.
Settings: General:: cellular: cellular data on; now turn iCloud Documents off; and iTunes off; Facetime off.
Now go back
Settings: iCloud; turn my photo stream off and for documents and data click Use Cellar data "off". I leave mail contacts calendars reminder etc all "on".
In my case I think Photostream is the culprit. I take lots of photos. For others it might be iTunes. Apple needs to simplify this. We need a SIMPLE way to disable the use of cellular data for the various synced functions.
My data is still where it was 3hrs 15 minutes ago. Yes!
tmjackso Oct 8, 2012 7:40 PM
in response to Denis Evans
My understanding was that PhotoStream would not even activate unless it was on WiFi...if this is NOT the case then it is a pretty huge issue.
Thanks for that summary...the best option would be a prompt for any cellular data activity that would go over a certain threshold (5 MB, 10 MB, whatever) that would allow a deferral until the phone was on WiFi...
Denis Evans Oct 8, 2012 8:12 PM
in response to tmjackso
My data is still showing 1.7GB just as it was 4hrs 30min ago. I had to buy an extra 3GB of data because I could see that I was going to exceed my monthly 1.5GB of data. Normally I use between 200 - 500MB a month.
tmjackso Oct 8, 2012 8:38 PM
in response to Denis Evans
Same with me - I ran up 3GB in a day when I'm usually around 1GB a month. I called Verizon, escalated to their 2nd level support, and got a 3 GB credit. Push for that!
Apple54JP Oct 22, 2012 7:37 PM

Yip same here, Data leakage, had 2 events where 300mb over 72 hours and 250mb over 36 hours just dissappeared. Called Apple support and got the usual round around, re-set settings, log-off, restore..... all that crap but would not conceed that there is an actual issue. Has Apple become ARROGANT!!
Also poor battery life. Has to be charged twice a day and I don't make many calls.
Rattle near the back by the camera.
Phone gets very hot.
& no accessories.
Just far too many issues!

Try restoring your phone, don't restore from backup. Start from scratch. I did and mine seems better, still uses a lot more bytes than it did before. Reckon Apple will have a fix out soon.

Iphone 3GS. updated to iOS 6.0.1 Friday. Data usage until then about 300MB
Sunday Morning around 4am. Phone incredibly hot even though connected to charger and home Wifi network. Usage exceeds 3GB for month and extra 3.5GB. Total usage in 12 hours 6.5GB.
Sunday afternoon after receiving message from AT&T about excess data, turned off Cellular Data and 3G and limited to only Wifi.
Monday evening 2GB cellular data. Total data usage in 2 days 9GB????? W/T/F ???
Even when 3G and cellular data is turned OFF, 2GB used up?
Now, turned OFF Cellular data and Wifi and using it as a regular phone with texting and calling. Maybe will buy a regular phone and be done with all these useless charges. Someone should be held accountable here.
