As U.S. Troops Draw Down, Can Afghans Take The Lead?

There's just a sliver of light in the eastern sky as the patrol leaves the American compound through a thick metal door.
They scamper across Highway 2, a narrow asphalt road that leads to Kabul, just an hour's drive away — if not for the war. They cross an old graveyard and head toward the silhouette of a tree line, all seen through the eerie green glow of night-vision goggles.
They are heading to the village of Kasan, less than a mile away in the darkness. Taliban fighters cross the nearby mountain passes at night, slip into the villages and plan attacks that target Kabul. So today's mission is to shore up the defenses — working with the Afghan local police, sort of an armed neighborhood watch.
It's the Afghan special forces, Capt. Nasir and Sgt. Hadi and their team, who are taking the lead today.
Hadi is skinny with a scruffy beard and a wad of tobacco wedged in his lower lip. Two months ago, his quick action helped save the lives of Americans and Afghans. An Afghan national policeman had opened fire, killing two American Green Berets and two Afghans. Hadi ran to a nearby truck, grabbed a machine gun and shot him dead.
Hadi stops next to a river, just before the patrol crosses into the village.
He seems undisturbed about the U.S. leaving, noting that his men have the same weapons as the Americans.
"We are good in here," he says.
Hadi is among the most highly skilled Afghan soldiers. He serves on one of two-dozen Afghan special forces teams in eastern Afghanistan. The Americans want to train six more teams.
"I'm lucky because the guys I work with are doing the right thing, but there may be other areas that aren't as lucky as me, for sure," says the American Green Beret captain whose job it is to advise the Afghan forces.
For security reasons, we can't use his name.
Still, they are a small fraction of an Afghan Army that is still spotty in its performance. Some Afghan Army units are aggressive; others just hunker down, or worse — make truces with the Taliban to avoid fighting.
The patrol crosses the river — over a concrete bridge and up a flooded dirt road — into the village of Kasan. The sun is just coming up. The soldiers find themselves in the middle of a flock of sheep.
"They have everything under control. Everything's going smoothly in there, so we're just going to push forward a little bit and see what's going on just so we know what's actually happening," the U.S. captain says.
They walk past mud-walled homes and enter a small square lined with trees. Village elders are preparing for a meeting. Bright-red carpets are spread over the earth. The elders — all with turbaned heads, and most with white and peppered beards — begin to take a seat on the rugs.
The Afghan special forces — Capt. Nasir and Sgt. Hadi — join the meeting and sit cross-legged among the circle of elders. The meeting is about security. Right now, a half-dozen men from this village serve in the Afghan local police. They man checkpoints along Highway 2. They screen for insurgents who might be traveling along the main road. The problem: The Taliban know enough to avoid the checkpoints. So the Afghan special forces tell the elders to move a security post inside the village. That would prevent the Taliban from using Kasan as a safe haven.
The elders listen without expression. Suddenly, a middle-aged man stands up. He becomes more and more agitated, shouting at the elders, waving his arms.
He says the Taliban come here, but no one reports them to the security forces.
"At the mosque, they are giving them chai and food," he says. "They are playing both sides."
This is a central problem. The elders may be providing local men to serve with the police, but they are also working with the Taliban.
Nasir, the Afghan commander, tries to reason with the elders, tries to get them to help him. He tells them that if they provide the security forces with information, they will guard the village.
That's the bargain: The government can provide security and protect the village. In exchange, it needs information about what the Taliban are up to. But they're not getting that information.
The deputy chief of police, Lt. Col. Allahuddin, says villagers either support the Taliban or are afraid of them. He says the Taliban come to the village every night, and residents are helping them.
"If I will call you guys ... the Taliban will kill me," he says through a translator.
The American captain packs up his radio, and the Afghan and American soldiers head back down the flooded road and once again over the bridge.
They walk back to base together. Come the fall, the American team will leave and won't be replaced. By November, Capt. Nasir and his Afghan soldiers will walk this trail alone.

In addition to the ground floor terrace and first floor balcony, Albion has a secluded lounge that is great for a drink with friends.

Rejects Claim Against Harlan Parking Meter Firm Sought Owed HARLAN A Federal Court of Appeals has recommended that the Duncan Parking Meter Com- pany's claim against the City of Harlan be rejected, it was learned Thursday. In its action, the Court of Ap- peals at St. Louis Tuesday re- versed an earlier Federal District Court ruling awarding the sum to the Chicago firm. The ruling involves partial pay- ment on 160 parking meters in- stalled at Harlan in 1952 at a cost of The firm began installing the meters on March 31. The ordinance providing for the meters did not take effect until the following May 6. Under a rental arrangement, the firm was to receive payment out of meter receipts. The con- tract provided, however, that the city had an option to terminate the tease within 30 days after the meters had been "in operation" one full year. On June 3. 1954. the city gave notice that it was exercising its option, although was still owed on the meters. The company then filed a suit in Federal.Dis- trict Court, maintaining that the city had failed to exercise its option within the time limit speci- fied in the contract. In replying, the city contended that motorists began using the unhooded meters as soon as they were :nstalled. Therefore. Ihr city contended, its notice was filed within the specified time. The District Court then ruled that the firm was entitled to the Balance of the full amount. are Park Commissioner Wayne Fariday and Supt. John L. Chris- Gross Gets Drink As...

Lion game marred by shooting
BY John Howell
Reprinted with permission
from The Panolian
BATESVILLE – District Attorney John Champion said that the shooting that killed 15-year-old Roderick Bobo Friday night after the football game between North Panola and Rosa Fort High Schools came during a shootout between two rival groups on school grounds between the high school building and the principal's residence.
"It was quite a busy night Friday night in Sardis," Champion said, speaking, along with Panola Sheriff Dennis Darby, at a Monday news conference attended by area media representatives and public officials.
"There were multiple, multiple shots fired," the district attorney said. "There were actually two separate shootings," he continued, on the high school grounds. "You had the initial confrontation where the shots were fired and then some probably minute to two minutes later—there was a second set of shots fired," Champion said, describing it as a "gunfight."

Intensive risk, elusive value
A Risk Intelligent executive's guide to security and privacy
The changing business environment has forced companies and executives to enhance their focus on data privacy and security, the absence of which can lead to multiple potential risks. This holds especially true for the non-IT professionals with significant governance or management responsibilities. Today, between outsourcing and offshoring, longer supply chains, alliances, partnerships, and other intertwined arrangements, the very definition of the enterprise has changed. This blurring of boundaries can have profound implications for organizations.
At a time when knowledge is supposedly king, information abuse and neglect actually rules the kingdom. Many organizations don't tag, identify, inventory, or classify their data — or do so haphazardly.
This whitepaper discusses key security and privacy takeaways along with actionable recommendations, including:
- Taking a proactive approach to avoid any security and privacy breach
- Addressing the associated people issues
- Realizing the potential of information technology
- Forging the link between policies and operations
- Linking security and privacy with strategic business objectives

The next race of Australia's biggest horse in the Melbourne Cup, saw the need to focus … in the various forms of gambling and the debate in the comment is the game of poker?
I like the odd flutter on the Gee Gees once a year on the first Tuesday in November for the race for the nation, and yesterday was no exception. I do, because I love to catch up with colleagues and with a smile on a few beers. However, I want my money and do not see the need to risk my hard earned money betting on horse races on a regular basis. I think there is more control, if you can have all the cards and, finally, to dictate the outcome. And horse racing is too unpredictable.
I spent part of the day, friends and strangers watching their dollars, a little. Happy and pure hope others will hear the sound of a "sure thing" and "I love colors" or "works well in the wet." But none of them really know.
Apparently, it was the least favorite name in years. And you guessed it, he did not win. It has been suggested that the horse is the best thing since Pharlap. With the weight of the nation on his back, sbobet he could not deliver and fell short tiring third.
Played gamblers and lost most punters.
So what about roulette, craps, blackjack and other casino games, as they are playing?
Some will say that they have systems and can count cards, but after all, there are risks and games.
Even think about the stock trading game!
So the game of poker?
Well, depends on their ability, knowledge and experience. You can reduce the risk. Reduce the learning element of his trade game. There are always elements of happiness is in the cards become involved, but knowing that your opponent is bluffing and reading people is not a game, it's a job. It is a skill and an art. Like anything, the more you have, the more successful.
So the game of poker … I do not think that if you do your homework and study this wonderful game, you will reap the rewards. The power is in your hands and therefore the ability to play. Remove the element of poker game and you will see results. By the way, I managed to save the winner, Americain, so I came home with the money that went with me and had a great day. I can not wait to return, but for the poker tables. Until then, face hands and feet are not too many.

update: Now that we're getting close to the end I'd love for some momma's to be informed and know that US's can be off quite a bit. If you're having a normal healthy pregnancy and your OB starts pushing for an induction because baby is just "too big" do a little reasearch...
Please feel free to post your US weights and week and what week your LO was born and at what weight! There's a lot already and some the day of were off quite a bit!!! Good luck and I hope we all have healthy babies!
I've seen lots of posts lately about people being FREAKED out that their babies are huge and they're going to go early or that something could be wrong, but their OBs aren't concerned.
Depending on the training, length of time in the job, and familiarity of doing fetal weight estimates... weight can be off 1 to 2 lbs.
Don't put your money on these weight guesses and let your OB talk you into inductions and such....they're ESTIMATES! Don't worry yourself unnecessarily unless you're having other medical problems...
Please share your weight "guesses" to help these FTMs out in the fear department so we can go on to have happy and healthy babies!

I think Ash will lose to someone else. We know he beats Kotetsu and Kotetsu's Riolu doesn't evolve in the battle. So that means in the same episode Ash faces off against someone else and loses to them.

Mountain Man On World Cafe
Set List
- "How'm I Doin"
- "Dog Song
- "Play It Right"
- "Holy Father"
On stage, Mally Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monning and Amelia Meath gather in semi-circle form with little accompaniment other than an acoustic guitar. With hushed surroundings, the bareness of their three voices is completely enthralling. Iit's rare to find music that focuses on the delicate arrangements of voice alone anymore, but the trio from Bennington, Vt., has made a cappella cool again. After the three girls met at Bennington College, they quickly realized how powerful their music was shaping up to be.
It wasn't until Mountain Man posted a few simple recordings on its Myspace page that its popularity spread like wildfire. Before they could even piece together a debut album, the girls played at SXSW, the Glastonbury Festival and even toured the U.K. Mountain Man's debut LP, Made the Harbor, is out now on Partisan Records.

I had these gigantic golden Truvativ Danny Hart bars that needed to go somewhere, so that's what's on now.
Gold carbon Deda tape might look nice on that Allez, if it doesn't clash with decals too much.

Purchased items through a partner site of Shopatron and received them less than 24 hours later. I don't even know how that was possible, but it was amazing! A great experience--would and will recommend highly.
I ordered from Modells.com and it was an awesome experience. My order arrived quickly and prompt. I as received updates via email when it was processed and shipped!!
I had placed an order for bike carrier parts and accessories. I found the prices to be very fair. The shopping experience was excellent, and the order was processed and shipped very fast. Everything was above expectations, and I would highly recommend this company.
Great service, communication and also prompt!
I purchased this as a gift, it was extremely well received and greatly appreciated. Thank you for the experience
"A very nice shopping experience! Price was right, ordering from website very easy, and shipping was very quick. Much appreciated."
"Excellent service. We were notified via email when our product was ready for pick up. The store staff at the Queen E. store were terrific."
Tip for consumers: Great way to shop, especially for Christmas.Ask Arlene about Shopatron
Bad experience today with Shopatron as the service provider for a Canadian retailer, Home Hardware. The retailer's website is not synced with the Shopatron website, so IDs and passwords are not maintained. Talk about confusion! I now know enough to go durectly to the Shopatron website to get order status. I'm unable to see my account or orders via the retailer site at all. Amazingky, the order went through, but Shopatron's support of the retailer is severely lacking.
Tip for consumers: Ideally, the shopatron site should be behind the scenes, and not confusing the heck out of someone accessing a retail site that uses shopatron services... But not so.Ask Allan about Shopatron
I recently placed an order from Thule which was handled by Shopatron. Not only was the experience quick and easy, the product arrived exactly when they said it would. I'll definitely look for the Shopatron name in the future as a good supplier.
Sorry to leave this terrible review, but I had no idea I was dealing with a middle man company! This is one extra entity to deal with and one more way that things can (and in my case.. has) gone wrong.. My order for an expensive desk accessory was placed on 11/19/2014 09:26:54 EST.
As far as the shopatron site is concerned my item is shipped. As far the usps service is concerned they have been electronically contacted by no item has been shipped or received. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE here?
I have paid and been charged for my item which was due to arrive in 2 days yet it is 5 days later and I dont even have a clue where my item is.
This is not ideal and I'd avoid this service if you can.
Great online experience, aurora was not only easy to order from but my order arrived in record time and perfect condition
"Great experience. Should the need ever arise, I would/will order again."
"easy shopping experience."
"Excellent shopping experience! Here at work there's not a lot of time to browse, so the easy on-line ordering is greatly appreciated! Click onto your site, click the items we need, click onto our stored info, and the order's placed! All in under a minute!"
I have purchased items several times (from JL Audio) through the Shopatron site and I am always extremely satisfied with the site, the service, the dealer network and the products supplied. The transaction is smooth and communication is great, keeping you up to speed every step of the way with your order. This is how internet shopping should be - simple, fast, efficient AND showing care for the customer! I'd definitely recommend using these guys!
I used shopatron for a transaction thru Nitrous Express, they completed my order and made the entire transaction quick and easy. Thanks!
Great Shopping Experience Highly Recommended!!
I can't wait to shop with Shopatron again. the experience was perfect in every way!! I received my merchandise on time, was very, very, pleased with every aspect of dealing with Shopatron.com. WONDERFUL!!!!
I have used Shopatron 2 or 3 times the past year for soccer gear for my son, each time everything has went extremely well. The equipment arrives on time, as ordered, no damage, billed correctly, tracking info provided, etc. Highly recommended...
Really easy order processing. I was able to research the Eureka tent replacement poles I needed, ordered them quickly, and they shipped to me fast from a Eureka dealer here in Michigan. Communication was good, and was able to track my order to know which day they would arrive, and the method. Good Site!
Consistently prompt and accurate service. Never worry on wait for my orders.
Great experience ordering Mizno volleyball shoes. Shopatron has excellent customer service and communication. I knew exactly when my shoes would arrive and was given access to a custome service rep in the event of a problem. I would definitely use this site again and would highly recommend it to others.
Good products good services always thank you
I've used Shopatron several times to order and Thule gear. Online ordering and tracking is good, and phone/email reps are great. Pleasure to do business with.
"Received the items unbelievably fast. Very satisfied."
Super easy website, Super fast shipping and I LOVE my shoes- thank you
I love Cobble Hill's puzzles! I am a preschool teacher, and you have a variety of puzzle sizes that meet the needs of my students. You also have beautiful nature puzzles, and I and my students love animals. The only complaint I have, and it is not a huge one, is that it took a long time to receive the puzzles. Shopatron handles processing for Cobble Hill.

"We all make mistakes, except me," could be a valid title from the papacy. A brilliant article in The Guardian this morning reads that Pope Francis is touting equality while tucking Reaganist Pope John Paul II into the attic. Here is the deal, put all mythology away into the museum of human history to let modern institutions address the scope and scale of contemporary needs and problems with modern inventions. How about that? The Vatican is an artifact that is still living and breathing with influence as are other religious institutional artifacts. Some are more aligned with modern needs and values than others, as some are more adaptive and flexible than others. Institutions that fail to keep pace, whether they are governments or religions, or anything else will become entropic, eventually.
"entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity"
Following a double header in which two saints were anointed in one day:
"Pope Francis condemns inequality, thus refusing to play the game
In explicitly prizing human beings over markets, Francis has confirmed he is a far cry from the Reaganist Pope John Paul II he just canonised
Inequality is the root of social evil, Pope Francis has tweeted, only a day after he canonised Pope John Paul II, a man regarded by American rightwingers as the spiritual arm of Ronald Reagan. So, Saint John Paul II is now officially stowed in heaven, and his attitude to capitalism has been consigned to the attic where the Catholic church keeps its lumber of discarded opinions."
the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.
"an organization aiming to promote racial equality"
fairness, equal rights, equal opportunities, equity, egalitarianism;
impartiality, evenhandedness;
"we promote equality for women"
A progressive pope brings relevance and renewal to a dying institution.
"A Progressive Pope is Driving the Wingnuts Batty
As Pope Francis comes more and more out of the Progressive Closet he begins to gain more and more pushback from the Rightwing who have long claimed that their Unrepentant Greed was Godly.
Unfortunately it isn't, and the Pope has been most clear on this.
"As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world's problems or, for that matter, to any problems," the pope said in the 224-page document that essentially serves as his official platform.
And the response has been truly amazing. For example Palin's overreaction to the Pope's statements on Twitter actually made her do something she seems to never done before. (Except for one other time to John McCain for possibly, maybe, making him LOSE!)"

Move over celebs, it's the models who are back on magazine covers. More
As part of her supermodel promotional duties, Kroes chatted with British Vogue–who won't be featuring her on the cover, but who did snag her time for the next best thing: diet tips! You know, because that's what women give a shit about.
Since you read fashion blogs, you may have heard about how the '90s are back–or noticed people on the street with plaid shirts tied around their waists, the ubiquitous crop tops on red carpets, the dark lipsticks on runways, the chokers. Now, then, seems like a perfect time to bring back one of the most delightful parts of the era: the supermodel. Interview Magazine is celebrating the decade's biggest stars with a series of black and white covers shot by power duo Mert & Marcus for the September issue–the so-called "model issue." The collection features everyone you'd expect: Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and more. More
Iit comes as no surprise that part of Wendy Davis' new visibility includes the Vogue treatment–she's profiled in the September issue, with an updated Fashion look. More
Continuing her ascension as the world's most famous and well-liked actress, Jennifer Lawrence takes the all-important September issue of American Vogue. More
Someday, people will accept the idea that (straight) men and women can be friends, despite the irresistible, all-consuming allure of breasts. More
Pop Magazine is pretty well known for getting artsy with its covers. So it makes sense that for their twelve cover extravaganza this September, the good folks at Pop would want to get at least one bona fide artist involved. The artist they chose was Marina Abramovic, whose insane stunts and unflinching creative sincerity have made her one of the best known artists of her generation. They also feature Georgia Jagger and Freja Beha Erichsen, because why not? More

French Vogue's September cover has dropped and it looks like royal fever shows no sign of abating: Mario Testino shot (hereditary) princess of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi for the all-important issue, but does it matter? More
September covers are trickling in, which means one thing: summer is over and fashion's big season is upon us. Or that the publishing industry is trying to move product by giving famous people dramatic makeovers. So maybe it means two things.

BNY Asks "If Retail Investors Are Leaving US Stocks In Mutual Funds And ETFs, Then Who Is Buying Stocks?"
- advertisements -
Gold is king for now. Stocks are a sideshow. That will change. But not yet. Bonds are speculative instruments in different ways from stocks. The public will of course be wrong on bonds but it may be too early for that to occur given the massive overweighting the public continues to have on stocks re bonds. And I still know almost no one who owns signficant amounts of Au.
I asked my neighbor what he though about gold as money. He said,"Isn't the dollar backed with gold?" I told him, not since 1971. I know virtually no one with gold. I don't think they have the money...they are paying off debt. If they do have money to purchase gold, they usually purchase a big screen tv instead. Like the penguins on Madagascar, I just .... smile and wave, boys, smile and wave.
I enjoy watching my big screen tv more than sitting and watching my gold bar.
I truly feel sorry for you blokes trading the US markets.
Why? I've got stops as tight as your womans pussy. I just ride the liquidity train up and up. So rather than sit on cash I make a little more to sit on down the road. Again, tight stops like your womans pussy will ensure I'm profitable. Options also work too.
Picking up loose change on a busy freeway. Don't cry when your stops don't work as advertised...
Try buying Au soon,you won,t be able to.Like insurance can,t buy it when you need it.
BNY Asks "If Retail Investors Are Leaving US Stocks In Mutual Funds And ETFs, Then Who Is Buying Stocks?"
Just a wild ass guess but maybe it's Big Brother who's buying stocks to pump the market and create the illusion that all must be well since stocks (meaning 401(k)s and personal investment accounts, including variable annuities) are way up from the bottom, thus keeping popular resentment and anger within the Ponzi supporting middle to upper middle class suppressed and below boiling towards the bankster bailouts and obscene pay packages?
After all, if the supporting cast of government, military industrial complex and health care workers can be led to believe that the financial cream floating to the top is being shared to some extent ("Well I hate what's going on but at least I'm getting a piece of the pie") a few more months or years can be gained for the final fleecing before the entire stinking mess comes crashing down.
But that's just a wild ass guess on my part.
it's Big Brother who's buying stocks to pump the market
That would also answer the underlying question, Who would buy stocks today and expect to ever see their money again? The question becomes moot of course if it is not their money but ours (or more accurately, freshly imagined money).
That was the prevailing school of thought prior to the hyperinflation in Weimar Germany. Yet when all the dust had settled, only the large-cap, non-financial equity owners were able to preserve any value.
So diss the ownership of non-financial stocks at your peril.
But all common stock went poof.
Pity we can't buy Preferential stocks and shares like Buffet
Not all common stock. Just the common stock of financial entities, and some junior industrials.
House prices also went to something near zero.
Germans who retained ownership of these productive enterprises, through common shareownership, strongly supported and financed Hitler, and his attacks on what was believed to be a "Jew-controlled" financial system.
I am not sure about that
Just quoting wikipedia
Says that the 'Golden era' make believe that happened after weimar collapse was funded by american financial houses and for allowing loans from american banks Germany got a place in League of nations in 1926
And Hitler's party became popular after the crash of 1929 that crashed all German interests again- That instigated the anti jew sentiment[minority though] coz the Jewish interests in Germany kept all the preferential shares that were still honoured by American "Jewish" Banks but common stocks were not.That enraged the german nationalists.
can't claim reference on Wiki , I know
My history reading shows only PM and agricultural holding owners in Weimar Germany maintained value through the hyper inflation. The industrialists went BK due to "supply chain" failures when no one would deliver against worthless payment purchase orders. Certainly we see non-financial ever-increasingly scarce domestic manufacturers going BK left and right in our own economy now. Meanwhile, farmland values and gold remain high. And in a rare display of modesty and doubt for WWW. postings, Am I wrong?
I would be interested to see the rate of flow before and after the flash crash. In my fevered mind I hear a conversation that goes something like...
"The plan was working, equities were starting to organically turn around, and then you go and SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYONE?!?"
"We had to. While you were grandstanding FinReg, there were Senators who had the idea that they could use it to actually bludgeon us. They had to be reminded."
"Yes, but now the index means NOTHING. They are leaving in droves even when we turn around the worst of days."
"Eggs, omelette - you know the drill."
lol, since that was Greenspasm's quote from last week (or regardless of where the money "seems" to have come from) it originates with the Master's orders. My comment, just lower, was written in synchrony to yours, and asks a similar question: "Can one assess the percentage (a lower bound) of how much of the US market the Fed now owns?"
Man, I'm neck-deep in pie and I am sickened by what's going on. We're in extra-time right now, but the game has to end at some point. I want SO badly to build a better world, and yet I'm long lead-delivery devices and spam...
What a conundrum. Obama, CONgress and the FED have made personal capitol gains evil and punishable by forfeiture.
Editorial License!
(from the above article with [an addition])....the money pushing stocks higher on margin is certainly not coming courtesy of retail accounts, which [used to] represent the bulk of holders behind the $10 trillion market cap of US stocks.
Would some kind soul venture to say that QE 2 has already passed us by and it was used to purchase the US market? So, hmmm, what percent of the US market was covertly purchased under the bygone QE 2? Further programs after QE 2 did continue to purchase the US market as investor funds fled, so all-in-all with the US market at its present cap can we regressively determine a lower bound (just using the total of fled funds capital) of what percentage is FED owned and how big the past QEs purchasing the US market were in total?
Just musing.
/sarcasm on/ Deflation my !!! /sarcasm off/
Remember what Greenspan said in his Meet The Press interview the other week.
So yeah , anyone who still doesnt believe in the PPT or whatever you want to call it , well , you're the sort of person who will zap someone with 6k volts if a guy in white overalls with a clipboard tells you to.
Yep. Greenspan blabbering on about how important it was to make stocks go up was a pretty clear indication of the insanity and focus at the Fed. They simply have no clue that a free trading market is more important than higher stock prices. If everyone knows they are investing with Madoff, they want out just as bad as they want out when the market is actually tanking. I always gave Greenspan the benefit of the doubt. But recently, I have realized he has been cut from the same cloth as Madoff, Ponzi, and all the other con men walking the planet. He doesn't give a crap about stucture, fairness or fraud. He only cares about creating a perception that will enrich himself and his friends.
The joke is on the Fed. Every dollar they print and flush to perform this pump through futures, options on futures, or direct purchases is a real dollar that stays in the system. The DOW may get to 90,000. But the dollar Index will go to 5.
Yeah, Greenie is now advocating irrational exuberance.
well , you're the sort of person who will zap someone with 6k volts if a guy in white overalls with a clipboard tells you to.
Which, if you remember that landmark study correctly, "person" is the vast majority of "us". People will commit all sorts of personal violations and atrocities upon their fellow man when told to do so, or given permission to do so, from the "authorities".
What's truly amazing is that the "authorities" can often be as simple as a man in a white lab coat and a clip board or some bureaucrat with an official sounding title. I gotta remember that during the upcoming (war crimes) trials. "He said I was authorized to (fill in the blank with your favorite atrocity)".
Bah bah black sheep.
Why bother with the Stanford study?
Both the BBC in 2002,
and French Television in 2010
recreated the experiments with stronger results....
The vast majority of sheep will do whatever authority demands of them.
I wasn't aware. Thanks for the links. I have saved them and will read them carefully.
And we thought recruiting SS officers would be hard...
BTW, the OP was referring to Milgram's electroshock study, not Zimbardo's prison experiment. Before IRB's you could have some real fun w/o thinking of the expense of your subjects, er, participants...
If you want to see how real manipulation can be, watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9c2l4oD5AY
This is a real show where Derren Brown took a bunch of middle managers, told them they were undergoing empowerment training but what he was really doing was conditioning them to rob an armored car. Three of the four actually do it. It is five parts but it is worth it.
Fuck Butters, I would have done it and I would have got you to help me.
Heard Zimbardo talk last December. Interestlingly, in Milgram's studies, women were almost certain to go to the highest level of shock. Not that women are more violent, but they are more compliant per the Milgram studies. Zimbardo showed that you don't even need the command of "authority" to induce willingness to commit violence. Nothing has changed since these studies were conducted (these things happen all the time in Iraq and Afghanistan; see recent "wiki leaks").
Duplicate post.
.... a couple of quotes from Greenspan's paper in 1966...
"Under a gold standard, the amount of credit that an economy can support is determined by the economy's tangible assets, since every credit instrument is ultimately a claim on some tangible asset. But government bonds are not backed by tangible wealth, only by the government's promise to pay out of future tax revenues, and cannot easily be absorbed by the financial markets. A large volume of new government bonds can be sold to the public only at progressively higher interest rates. Thus, government deficit spending under a gold standard is severely limited. The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit. They have created paper reserves in the form of government bonds which — through a complex series of steps — the banks accept in place of tangible assets and treat as if they were an actual deposit, i.e., as the equivalent of what was formerly a deposit of gold. The holder of a government bond or of a bank deposit created by paper reserves believes that he has a valid claim on a real asset. But the fact is that there are now more claims outstanding than real assets. The law of supply and demand is not to be conned. As the supply of money (of claims) increases relative to the supply of tangible assets in the economy, prices must eventually rise. Thus the earnings saved by the productive members of the society lose value in terms of goods. When the economy's books are finally balanced, one finds that this loss in value represents the goods purchased by the government for welfare or other purposes with the money proceeds of the government bonds financed by bank credit expansion."
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."
Could dark pools be used to manipulate the market? Don't know enough about how they operate and reporting requirements to surmise with any degree of accuracy, but if you are trying to cover your tracks, might be a good hiding place. Do dark pool transaction prices show up (delayed or otherwise) in the real market, and affect bid/ask prices, similar to quotes on one exchange having potential spillover onto others?
They apparently can. Just look at the comments of Traders on the floor during October of 2008. Things like "I've never seen anything like this" and "something's going on". Basically large blocks of stock were being liquidated in order to meet margin calls, apparently. I say "apparently" as this was all not transparent.
So, yes, when margin calls are made, all assets go up for sale. This includes gold, btw, as you may have noticed in its price back then.
Now, consider that not only has the system not been fixed since then, but it has also gotten worse.
My small addition to the current situation.....
It's copper charts. Great leading indicator. it has had a double-top very recently, look at the 30/60 day chart, and it is a lower top than at the end of Dec 2009, setting up for a large head & shoulders pattern. I'll be watching this chart every day, if it keeps heading down, so will everything else risk related.
Good luck to us all. And to the world.
welcome to the end game
Nice charts!. Dr. Copper, the leading indicator, looks to turn down, but there could be head fake first.
Supplies still look depleted from the charts. It is my understanding that China is the largest consumer of copper now, and they are still consuming agressively.
I think your right in the mid to long term (world slowdown), and I hope your right in the short term, but I'm not so sure.(China)
Whats a good way to play the TZA, TNA pair now that we are building the right shoulder?
You are kidding, right? If you have to ask you don't need to be doing it.
Please help this brother in financial arms! Please. He is asking for your help if you have it to give, as will all others who come to his level of awareness, now and tomorrow. It's a good thing to do. internet search means your mentoring will grow and grow with search engine replication. That's real info-leveraging!!
while the poor people sleeping with the shade on their light, while the poor people sleepin' all the stars come out at night.
while the poor people sleeping with the shade on their light, while the poor people sleepin all the stars come out at night.
Out of the frying pan, and into the fire?
A solid base of equity is required before any business will take on debt for expansion, hiring, etc. Americans, by switching their portfolios largely to fixed income, may be in fact, seeding the demise of their economy by doing so, and missing out on great returns going forward.
At current stock market valuations, there is no reason whatsoever to issue dilutive equity. There is no reason whatsoever to do anything but pay dividends or repurchase shares. Over time, this will unleash strong inflation, as depleted capital is not replaced, but is rather, liquidated.
Such inflation will continue until government stops sucking up the pools of excess capital (through borrowing, deficits), and allows such excess capital to be re-allocated back to rebuild depleted industry.
John Q. Public is afraid of the market and won't venture back in for years to come, much to the chagrin of Wall St who hoped to offload shares to the retail buyer. The HFTs will keep passing the shares of the same 20 companies back and forth until the music stops and they all go running for thier chairs, I mean the exits. The PPT is also at work trying to keep the con game going. Meanwhile, Comrade Obama will keep increasing the size of government.
The trend in the US Dollar is drawing some mild flow of capital from foreign currencies. Once the US Dollar breaks key support levels and confidence in the reserve currency collapses this flow of foreign holdings will reverse course and move out of US financial assets in a hurry. The currency trade will devolve into panic and the system will freeze up completely. The average US citizen is not prepared for what is coming next.
are there any more stocks to buy? i thought pds backed by govt bought them all in the name of national security and what we see now is just a churn of the small fraction that remains available.
