- "I don't want to insist on [U.S. mobile] consolidation, but I don't want to rule it out," says Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY, DTEGF) CEO Tim Hoettges.
- The remarks come after Hoettges reportedly told DT's board he considers a sale of 67%-owned T-Mobile USA (TMUS -1.8%) unlikely in the near-term, given regulatory opposition to a bid from Sprint (S -3.6%) and parent SoftBank (SFTBF, SFTBY).
- Citing T-Mobile USA's aggressive investments, DT now expects its 2015 free cash flow to only be up "slightly" from 2014 levels. The carrier previously forecast 2015 FCF to rise to €6B ($8.3B) after hitting €4.2B ($5.8B) in 2014.
- Sources tell Bloomberg Hoettges is now "taking a long-term view in the U.S.," and is focused on converting more of T-Mobile's giant prepaid base into postpaid subs.
- DT shares fell 3.6% in Frankfurt. Both T-Mobile and Sprint are selling off in U.S. trading.

- Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY, DTEGF) Tim Hoettges says a sale of 67%-owned T-Mobile USA (TMUS +0.1%) is unlikely anytime soon. T-Mobile and Sprint (S -0.5%) have both moved moderately lower in response.
- The WSJ reported yesterday SoftBank's (SFTBF, SFTBY) Masayoshi Son plans to mount a PR campaign to convince skeptical businesses and policy makers regarding the value of a Sprint/T-Mobile merger.
- Sprint/SoftBank have been widely reported to be lining up financing for a T-Mobile bid.
Mar. 4, 2014, 2:02 PM
- With FCC/DOJ regulators strongly suggesting they'll oppose any attempt by Sprint (S +3.1%) to merge with T-Mobile USA (TMUS +3.6%), SoftBank's (SFTBF, SFTBY) Masayoshi Son "plans to appeal directly to the U.S. business community and policy makers" to convince them the deal would be good for customers, the WSJ reports.
- Crucial to Son's effort: Convincing his audience Verizon and AT&T currently have a de facto U.S. mobile duopoly, one that Sprint and T-Mobile can't challenge independently.
- Likely to hurt his cause: T-Mobile is now rapidly adding postpaid subs (after losing them for years) with the help of innovative pricing schemes, and regulators reportedly fear a Sprint merger could affect T-Mobile's "maverick" status within the industry.
- Sprint and T-Mobile are both outperforming today. Son plans to make a major presentation on March 11 at the Chamber of Commerce in Washington D.C.

- Japanese tech/telecom giant SoftBank (SFTBF) has reported a 0.8% passive stake in Zynga (ZNGA +2.9%). Shares of the social game developer have rallied in response, and are close to their 52-week high of $4.97.
- SoftBank's empire includes Sprint (80%-owned), a 37% stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, and Japan's third-largest mobile carrier.
Feb. 12, 2014, 10:20 AM
- Deutsche's Brett Feldman has upgraded Sprint (S +1.4%) to Buy following yesterday's Q4 report, albeit while leaving his PT unchanged at $9.25. He cites Sprint's spectrum advantage (presumably a reference to its high-frequency assets following the Clearwire deal), and the carrier's 2-year EBITDA growth outlook.
- However, Feldman still expects major subscriber losses in 1H14, followed by "a return to modest growth" once Sprint's Network Vision 4G initiative is finished. He's also skeptical a T-Mobile USA (TMUS +0.4%) deal will happen in light of regulatory concerns.
- But while regulators continue signaling their skepticism, SoftBank's (SFTBF) Masayoshi Son appears undeterred in his quest to merge the #3 and #4 U.S. U.S. mobile carriers. Son tells the WSJ it would be "a dream within a dream" to challenge Verizon and AT&T without the scale provided by an acquisition. "I can't settle for No. 3 or No.2. It's my personality."
- Recent WSJ and Bloomberg reports suggested Sprint/SoftBank are weighing their options in the wake of recent DOJ/FCC comments.
Feb. 11, 2014, 9:34 AM
- Sprint (S +7.2%) saw a net gain of 682K mobile platform subs in seasonally strong Q4 - 58K postpaid, 322K prepaid, 302K wholesale/affiliate. Though that figure is well below Verizon and T-Mobile's Q4 net adds, and moderately below AT&T's, it represents a turnaround from Q3's 95K net loss (includes a loss 360K postpaid subs).
- The #3 U.S. carrier is also guiding for 2014 adjusted EBITDA of $6.5B-$6.7B, up from a 2013 level of $5.4B and a 2012 level of $4.8B. Q4 adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.5%, up from the year-ago period's 10.3%.
- Mobile service revenue rose 2% Y/Y to $7.15B, equipment revenue (phone/tablet sales) rose 15% to $1.16B. SG&A spend was nearly flat at $2.44B.
- Postpaid ARPU was $64.11, down slightly from $64.24 in Q3 and $64.17 a year ago. Postpaid churn rose to 2.07% from 1.99% in Q3 and 1.98% a year ago.
- Sprint's wireline division saw revenue drop 9% to $859M. Its op. income fell to $23M from $71M.
- With parent SoftBank (SFTBF) willing to spend aggressively to improve Sprint's 4G coverage, Sprint has set a 2014 capex budget of $8B, up from a 2013 level of $7.5B and a 2012 level of $5.4B.

Feb. 6, 2014, 11:16 AM
- After rallying yesterday on a report Sprint (S -6.1%) is close to lining up $45B in financing for a T-Mobile USA (TMUS -5.4%) bid, Sprint and T-Mobile are selling off following a Bloomberg report stating FCC/DOJ regulators have "resisted the concept" of a merger between the carriers in preliminary talks with SoftBank's (SFTBF) Masayoshi Son, and that Son and Sprint's Dan Hesse now "plan to decide in the next few weeks whether to move ahead on a bid."
- Bloomberg adds Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY) has asked Son to "gauge regulatory sentiment" towards a merger, and that Son and DT's perception of regulatory feedback will "determine their next steps."
- In addition, SoftBank and DT are reportedly at odds over the breakup fee for any deal - SoftBank wants a small one on account of regulatory risks, DT feels differently.
- FCC and DOJ officials have already suggested they're skeptical about backing a merger between the #3 and #4 U.S. mobile carriers. While Sprint might argue the carriers need to merge to effectively compete against Verizon/AT&T, T-Mobile's recent share gains bring that claim into question.

Feb. 5, 2014, 2:20 PM
- Sources tell dealReporter Sprint (S +6.5%) is close to obtaining $45B in financing for a T-Mobile USA (TMUS +3.9%) bid. Both Sprint and T-Mobile shares have spiked higher in response.
- The WSJ previously reported Sprint has received proposals from at least two banks for a bid that would value T-Mobile's equity at $31B. In addition to the financing needed to acquire Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGY) 67% T-Mobile equity stake, Sprint and parent SoftBank (SFTBF) will need funds to cover (and potentially refinance) T-Mobile's $20B debt load.
- The report comes as DOJ/FCC officials continue taking a skeptical view of a deal that stands to reduce the number of nationwide U.S. carriers to three.
Jan. 28, 2014, 6:44 PM
- The WSJ reports Sprint (S) CEO Dan Hesse and SoftBank (SFTBF, SFTBY) chief Masayoshi Son met DOJ officials this month regarding a possible T-Mobile USA (TMUS) bid, and were told a deal would be viewed "with skepticism."
- The paper adds SoftBank and T-Mobile USA parent Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY, DTEGF) have been talking about a deal, but are still "working through remaining issues" such as the size of the deal's breakup fee (Son reportedly is pushing for a small one) and whether Sprint or T-Mobile's brand would be retained.
- Both the DOJ and FCC have been expected to show intense scrutiny of a merger that would lower the number of nationwide U.S. carriers to three, and feature a carrier that has been upending the U.S. mobile industry with new promotions and pricing schemes.
- More on Sprint/T-Mobile
Jan. 27, 2014, 1:48 PM
- During a Bloomberg TV interview, outspoken T-Mobile USA (TMUS -0.1%) CEO John Legere provided fresh hints his firm is open to merging with Sprint (S +6.5%).
- Legere: "We all need better scale and capability ... The question starts to be: How do you take the maverick and supercharge it? We either need more spectrum and capability and a lot more investment, or we need consolidation."
- Sprint and parent SoftBank (SFTBF, SFTBY) have been widely reported to be lining up financing to acquire Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGF, DTEGY) 67% T-Mobile USA stake. But regulators might object to a tie-up, particularly given T-Mobile's efforts to shake up the U.S. mobile industry via aggressive/novel pricing schemes.
- Separately, Sprint announces it has expanded its 4G LTE network to cover 40 more markets, including Milwaukee and Salt Lake City. Sprint, which is trying to neutralize Verizon and AT&T's LTE coverage leads, now offers LTE in 340 markets.
Jan. 19, 2014, 1:21 AM
- SoftBank (SFTBF) and Deutsche Telekom (DTEGF) are attempting to resolve obstacles to Sprint's (S) possible acquisition of the German carrier's 67% holding in T-Mobile USA (TMUS), Bloomberg reports.
- Such obstacles include much cash and stock SoftBank will pay - Deutsche Telekom wants the whole deal to be in cash - how Sprint and T-Mobile would be integrated, and the size of a break-up fee.
- Softbank is looking to borrow $20B to finance the deal, which could value T-Mobile at $31B vs its market capitalization of $26B. Sprint would take on the debt.
- More Sprint / T-Mobile deal.
Jan. 16, 2014, 5:20 PM
- The WSJ reports Sprint (S) has "received proposals from at least two banks" for financing a T-Mobile USA (TMUS) bid, and envisions valuing T-Mobile's equity at $31B (compares favorably to a current market cap of $26B).
- Financing, of course, is only one of several challenges Sprint would face in merging with T-Mobile. The company and parent SoftBank (SFTBF) would have to negotiate a deal for Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGY, DTEGF) 67% T-Mobile stake. They would also have to win the blessing of FCC/DOJ regulators who seem to prefer having four nationwide carriers around, and appear to be pleased with T-Mobile's aggressive pricing.
- There's also the matter of Dish (DISH -2.2%), which reportedly won't stand idly if Sprint bids for T-Mobile, and could have much less trouble winning the blessing of regulators.
- In addition to acquiring Deutsche's T-Mobile stake, Sprint may need to backstop a possible refinancing of ~$20B worth of T-Mobile deal.
Jan. 9, 2014, 2:42 PM
- AT&T (T -1.9%), Verizon (VZ -2%), and Sprint (S -4.4%) are each selling off after T-Mobile USA (TMUS -1.1%) announced a credit program for defecting mobile subscribers - up to $300 in credit for trading in a phone, buying an approved T-Mobile phone, and signing up for a postpaid plan, and up to $350 to pay off termination fees - that was even more aggressive than expected. Sprint is also being pressured by a Deutsche downgrade to Hold.
- FBR's David Nixon likely speaks for many on the Street when he expresses concerns AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint "will be forced to react to the move." Fears that T-Mobile's efforts will pressure industry margins and increase churn have already been running high. AT&T announced a smaller promotion (up to $450 in credit) last week.
- Nixon also says CES feedback points to "surprising confidence from T-Mobile US that a merger with Sprint could be approved if argued on the right basis." T-Mobile CEO John Legere didn't rule out a future acquisition by Sprint yesterday, though he did suggest T-Mobile's brand would be maintained post-acquisition. Legere also took quite a few shots at his rivals.
- Meanwhile SoftBank (SFTBF, SFTBY) CEO Masayoshi Son isn't mincing words regarding Sprint's challenges. In a Nikkei column, Son blasts Sprint's marketing efforts (all of the company's ad agencies have been fired), and says the carrier "has gotten used to being a loser."
Dec. 24, 2013, 1:33 PM
- The Nikkei reports SoftBank (SFTBF, SFTBY) is "in the final stages of talks" with Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY, DTEGF) regarding a deal in which 78%-owned Sprint (S -0.2%) would acquire Deutsche's 67% stake in T-Mobile USA (TMUS +1%). Sources add the deal could happen as soon as next spring, and could be worth more than ¥2T ($19.2B).
- A ¥2T price tag for Deutsche's T-Mobile USA stake would translate into a $28.7B valuation for the #4 U.S. mobile carrier. T-Mobile USA, whose shares have risen sharply thanks to Sprint M&A rumors, currently has a market cap of $25.5B.
- SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son has reportedly been busy lining up financing for a T-Mobile USA bid, which is bound to be intensely scrutinized by regulators. Reuters has reported Dish (DISH +1.1%) is also thinking of bidding for T-Mobile, and wouldn't stand idly if Sprint made a move.
Dec. 20, 2013, 4:20 PM
- Bloomberg has joined the WSJ in reporting Sprint (S +6.7%) is trying to obtain financing for a T-Mobile USA (TMUS +4.7%) bid from six banks, and provides additional details.
- Bloomberg's sources indicate SoftBank (SFTBF) CEO Masayoshi Son has personally talked with banks about obtaining ~$20B in financing. His goal: To buy Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGY) 67% stake in T-Mobile in an all-cash deal.
- At the same time, Sprint's management is said to be "reluctant" to deal with integrating Sprint and T-Mobile's incompatible 3G networks; Sprint uses the EV-DO air interface, while T-Mobile uses W-CDMA/HSPA. But with SoftBank owning 78% of Sprint, their objections may be rendered moot.
- Also: With regulatory approval of a Sprint/T-Mobile deal far from certain, Son reportedly wants to avoid agreeing to a large breakup fee. AT&T had to pay a $7B breakup fee to T-Mobile two years ago.
- Separately, T-Mobile has scheduled a Jan. 8 CES event where it will reveal the fourth part of its "un-carrier" strategy. Part one involved the elimination of phone subsidies and contracts in favor of monthly phone installment plans; part two involved the launch of T-Mobile's Jump smartphone upgrade plans; and part three brought cheap global data roaming and international talk/text plans.
Dec. 13, 2013, 4:41 PM
- Sources tell the WSJ Sprint (S +4.3%) is "studying regulatory concerns" related to a T-Mobile USA (TMUS +8.2%) bid, and that SoftBank (SFTBF) founder/CEO Masayoshi Son is "driving" the effort. However, they caution Sprint hasn't yet decided whether to make a move.
- Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY), which retains a 67% stake in T-Mobile USA, is said to be "looking to possibly exit the U.S. market." Though Deutsche is currently prohibited from selling T-Mobile shares until 18 months have passed from the closing of the MetroPCS deal, it can sell earlier if it received an offer for the entire stake.
- Sprint and T-Mobile only have 53M postpaid subs between them, less than Verizon's 95M and AT&T's 72M. If they try to go through with a merger, they'll mention such figures to regulators early and often.
- But the FCC and DOJ, only two years removed from thwarting AT&T's bid for T-Mobile, haven't given any indication they're now comfortable seeing further consolidation among nationwide U.S. carriers.

This motif is common in the early tatting books/booklets. It can be with a small ring in the centre or without. What I can say is that it is not as simple as it says in the pattern. This post is about tatting that wheel with a ring in the centre.

I am tatting a finger-less glove for a special person to wear for her wedding next month. This the portion of the lower arm.

It started with this sample. I was ambitious hence the extra beads in the chains.I was not happy with the way the rings closed - I can see tiny gaps in the top of the rings where the beads are attached. The second attempt is in white with pearl glass beads. Well, the gaps are still there. In fact, the gaps are Jon Yusoffhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190757.post-76172959553112133562015-02-03T22:39:00.001+08:002015-02-03T22:51:56.647+08:00BraceletA very short post - something that I plan to use for teaching, a simple all rings bracelet.

The 2nd part of the RR doily is made up of three rounds of chains. I pulled what I felt was enough for the core thread for all three rows and started with CTM. There is no need for tie-and-cut after each round. Things got frantic as a approach the last few repeats in the last row with only about four inches of Jon Yusoffhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190757.post-78045679472785766112015-01-15T23:07:00.000+08:002015-01-16T10:10:24.163+08:00Time to tackle the ClunyI have not actually attempted cluny tatting (or leaf tatting) before. No, that is not right. I did it once before, just once a long time ago, learning ot through the Online Tatting Class. I thought I had a picture of it somewhere - now I couldn't find it.

I thought I can finish it by the new year and show you the completed piece, but other things got into my plans. The pic below is as it was at the penultimate round.

These are some of what I did during the (almost) two months of non-blogging - A) I tatted more of the Jan Stawasz's doily B) I sewed this Owlie pillow for a friend who is expecting a grandchild soon.

She drove from over 80km away just to have a look at what Spotlight is all about because almost everybody was talking about it.

I have to tat about 120 pieces of these small flowers in and I have about two weeks to do it. Luckily, for what these flowers are intended, it does not require hiding the ends.

Gov. Mike Easley is urging those North Carolina counties that don't plan to stay open late Saturday afternoon for extra early voting to change their minds.
Easley said Friday that half of the state's 100 counties plan to keep accepting early ballots until 5 p.m. Saturday -- an extension of four hours. He wants those election boards that plan to close early voting as originally scheduled at 1 p.m. to reconsider.
North Carolina's state elections board agreed Thursday to extend the early voting hours. Counties could close their polls at 1 p.m. if election commissioners from both parties agreed to do so without dissent.
As of late Thursday, more than 2 million people have cast an early ballot in North Carolina -- a turnout of 33 percent before Election Day.

COVENTRY PATMORE ( 1823-1896) had no childish faith to lose, for he was brought up without religion, until, at the age of eleven, or so he tells us, it suddenly struck him what a fine thing it would be if there was a God. So early did he display his gift for wilful thinking. Later, having willed a God, and convinced himself that he had identified his own will with God's, he found all things plain, and dismissed Science as an "agile ape."
Patmore's has been a curious fate. For some years his Angel in the House was the most popular poem in England. It describes a course of true love that runs smooth to happy Christian marriage. Felix is a handsome squire with £600 a year; Honoria, the Dean's daughter, a dear, good girl, has £3000 now and more in prospect. The story of their unruffled courtship, sung in sparkling quatrains to the tune of the Old Hundredth, appealed to all that was respectable and sentimental in England and America. Then the wind changed, and a generation intoxicated with Swinburne scoffed Patmore's domesticities and his psalm-tune off the field. Admirers and scoffers were both wide of the mark. The merit of the poem does not lie in its story. There is no reason of course why true lovers should not be prosperous, and Patmore was only following Wordsworth in poetising the common; but his realism, unsafeguarded by humour, makes him ridiculous when he means to be sprightly. The Angel in the House lives by its Preludes, with their intimate analysis of a lover's moods, their epigrams, sometimes trite but always polished, and their occasional felicities of phrase and profundities of feeling. Here is a cold dawn worthy of Rossetti:
The moon shone yet, but weak and drear,
And seemed to watch, with bated breath,
The landscape, all made sharp and dear
By stillness, as a face by death.

I sit here and sip my newly distributed Pappy Van Winkle 15-year (rocks, a couple), and reflect on the consequences of today's market shaking Presidential press conference. Despite the obsequiousness of the White House Press Corps, some important truths were uncovered, many of them centering around basic math and fundamental civics.
For one thing, the President is either being extremely forgetful, or dishonest about the makeup of our current deficits. As some of you may recall, Mr. Obama is quite fond of blaming our current fiscal deficit situation on either the "two wars" of Afghanistan and Iraq that he "inherited," or "the Bush tax cuts" of 2003. Let's leave aside the fact that federal revenues have risen considerably—as a result of tax cut driven growth– since the days prior to the Bush tax cuts. Let us also confirm (by Mr. Obama's own declaration) that the war in Iraq is "over," at least for now. That means that the "causes" Mr.Obama loves to blame for spiraling deficits are, save for a war in Afghanistan that he has escalated according to his own plan (see below), are not really material to the gargantuan deficits we are facing right now. So what is, then?
Well, some of you may recall the "emergency stimulus" that was signed into law in 2009. A great bill totaling $831 billion in hand-outs via allocated spending (most of which was distributed to states to keep their own governments running) and "targeted tax cuts" which usually took the form of some sort of credit for jumping through some gov't preferred hoop.
Any "stimulus" spending is arguably a problem because it's top-down gov't allocated spending, considered mostly "one size fits all" for the citizenry, and by that standard alone grossly inefficient. The even greater problem with regard to such programs is that they raise the baseline spending in these categories permanently, unless specific cuts are made in those areas where spending was increased that first time. This is what is causing our budget deficits to balloon far past what we had seen in the allegedly horrible "Bush Years."
As you can see, the problem clearly is not revenue, and it's not even overseas spending (although Mr. Obama has seen fit to increase that spending too). The problem is domestic levels of spending that show few signs of abatement any time soon.
Today, the President suggested that an additional $1.6 trillion dollars in tax increases – levied wholly on the heads of the investing and producing citizens of the economy (otherwise known as "the evil rich") – will help solve this crisis. But even allowing the Bush tax cuts to lapse will only produce another $75 billion a year. How is that going to help attack the deficit? Answer, it won't at all, and what 's more will likely become counterproductive as capital hides in inefficient and economically non-beneficial havens.
Fly's tax attorney and others like him will be grinning wolfishly if this benighted "plan" comes to fruition, but only those spinners' children will eat better, while the rest of us will have to contend with cold salt pork and beans as we continue to endure The Obama Winter.
The only answer is restructuring my friends, and that will entail some significant spending reductions and – yes! – entitlement reform. Barack Obama still has an opportunity here to salvage his legacy. If he can play "Nixon Goes To China" and pull off the hard work of entitlement reform, he will be forever after revered as a Sainted President. If he'd rather continue down the path to perdition and Obamacare folly, well….
At least Mr. Cain Thaler will be grinning.
Many Bollinger Band Crash Trades were triggered in the PM segments this afternoon, and I believe I may partake in some rebound shooters (perhaps in GDX and GDXJ) to reap the reflexive bounce back due those names. I think SLW and SIL are also prime candidates and if I see a "wash and bounce" tomorrow, I may even grab some NUGT and or AGQ. We should be very close to done with this pain, however, so hang on at least, even if you don't feel like trading.
Best to you all

Your posts are always highly informative and your prose is clear and entertaining. Thanks for the material!
good post JG
and based on a WSJ report yesterday, it appears the FHA will need a little taxpayer help as soon as February due to rising mortgage delinquencies….Really? They didn't know that info prior to the election?
all real good idea's, pertaining to reforms,always falls on deaf ears. way too many chefs,"who know jack shit", spoil the soup.
is exk sick from something unknown? last time at 8.12 was a great trade. Repeat?
Obama is really smart and a good man. He can spend that $ better than anyone. Stop being critical! I hate that! Come on over to the winning team in the spirit of compromise.
Jake, any thoughts on SAND. It's a gold streamer started by ex-SLW execs. It has been absolutely hammered. The blame is on the following Cramer quote:
"No, these guys lend money to other miners, but if gold goes down then no one will be mining."
Thinking this is the play.
Any idea RGLD broke down this morning without news?? Thanks Jake. I'm holding tight.
What about education reform?
Current expenses $800B+. The next highest country has an expense of less than $150B we actually pay about 5 times more than the next highest country and have bad test results anyways. politically education reform would be more acceptable anyways as long as you did something very unique and different. The modern education format is becoming obsolete.
In the early 1800s it was designed after the Prussians for it's strong centralized government as it produced obedient soldiers and bureaucrats.
In the 1900s John D Rockefeller put his personal touch on the education system as he envisioned kids being prepared to be obedient factory workers.
In the next century, technology and eventually even robots will replace the need for a huge degree of specialized labor and there will be a shortage of demand for workers.
We need an education program that can mass produce businessmen and businesswomen and innovators and inventors and highly specialized technological students. And we just so happen to have something called the internet that can allow the best lectures across America to be broadcast to everyone, and an Ipad can organize lots of series of tasks into a single application from which to upload, download, view and rate videos, ask and answer questions and rate answers of the questions and suggested automatic answer for your question, rate individual lectures and individual teachers so that the cream filters to the top, download and view educational books and even take an online timed test. And you can eliminate the need for gasoline to get to school, school-buses and eventually mostly make any need for new teachers obsolete as they will have recorded all of their lectures and work already. You can give all current teacher's very large severance packages to stick around for a year, record all their lectures and produce a minimum amount of online material for a large one time cost that is still only a fraction of current educational expenses. Then ship every kid an ipad, or if you want to be cheap a kindle fire instead and internet access and the app that tracks their progression and maybe quarterly testing and you are set. The cost will be 90% less. Put some pork in there and you are still looking at much lower expenses and saving hundreds of billions per year. And then you can even sell the real estate that schools have currently and buy smaller quarterly test centers and heck, even add optional state funded daycare centers and you still are going to save hundreds of billions most likely. forget the expensive costs of physical books, you can upload them all to digital copies to provide everyone with simultaneous access to them.

The answers to all your rants are right here, Jake.
Mr. Cain Thaler
Lol, I should write a retaliation book:
"Pretending Your Finances Are A Kitchen Sink – And Why It's A Bad Idea"
I'd read it.
You do know this guy predicted the Euro crisis 2 years before the Euro was even fully implemented, right?
Correction, Godly did that. Wray did it in 2000.
Mosler also came to the same conclusions around the same time.
Hey Jake,
Great to read your posts again. I must say though that I'm feeling the pain now with a full plate of GDX, GDXJ, and SIL. Ugh!
Hang in there… I think you'll be ok very soon…
I agree with your statistics for ANNUAL deficit change from tax cut expiration: ("But even allowing the Bush tax cuts to lapse will only produce another $75 billion a year").
From the nonpartisan tax policy center who has studied the tax cut expiration impacts for high income bracket Americans:
"Table 2. The President's Tax Policies, 2013 – 2022
Individual Income Tax Increases:
…Allow the 2003-03 Tax Cuts to Expire for High Income Taxpayers………$849 Billion"
…"Relative to current law, the entire package of proposals would reduce taxes in 2013 for nearly three-quarters of all households and raise taxes for about 6 percent (see table). People at both ends of the income distribution would be least likely to see their taxes go down: only about 30 percent of both those in the bottom quintile (20 percent of tax units) and those in the top 1 percent would see their taxes go down. At the same time, 71 percent of those in the top 1 percent would face a tax increase, compared with just 1 percent of those in the next-to-top quintile (60th through 80th percentiles). On average, taxes would drop an average of more than 1,300 in 2013. Among income groups, only the top 1 percent would see an average tax increase—more than $18,000."
Dividing the $849 Billion by 10 years you get $84.9 Billion (excluding effects of interest)
Yes, entitlements are an elephant that's growing too fast — but so are annual military budgets and annual medical spending (per capita). All need to be restructured. I am among the minority who think taxe receipts from the 99%, not just the 1%, should be raised – albeit phased in gradually.
Both taxe receipts and spending levels need to revert back closer to their historical proportions relative to GDP.
Yep… 18%

Thanks Jake for your insights into the PM markets. They are always helpful to those of us who don't make a full time study of them.
Perhaps the greatest value though is pictured above. Here in Ohio Pappy is scarcer than hen's teeth. If you have access to an extra bottle or two I would be happy to reimburse any /all expenses plus time and trouble in pretty much any amount. Please let me know by e-mail or DM thru 12631. Thanks in advance!

Sheamus tryout match
During a recent interview, Sheamus revealed some information on his tryout match with WWE. He admitted that they were awful. For whatever reasons, management opted to choose Dolph Ziggler as his opponent, even though Ziggler was a developmental wrestler himself. The Celtic Warrior stated that Finlay was the one that made the odd choice. He also stated that he was hoping to receive more advice than he was being given at the time.
May 3, 2015
Ryan Nemeth responds
A lot of people are coming out of the wood works now that allegations of abuse and bully are being aimed at Bill DeMott. One of those people is Ryan Nemeth, a former WWE developmental wrestler who also happens to be the younger brother of Dolph Ziggler. He questions the statement that management made about doing a thorough investigation into the matter, as he has yet to be interviewed in two years about the allegations.

Thanks to Jim Souder for speaking up in his July 4 letter, "Meaning of day lost on revelers." Yes, our schools have been dumbed down. State politicians have failed to define and fund public education for all kids. Instead, they insist that kids prepare for college with more advanced math and science, catering to CEOs, not educators.
When you add a class, you take away something else, usually classes critical to our children's future such as civics, which teach the truth about our country past and present, must be removed. Research shows that legislative committees mandated to define what is to be taught have failed, especially in the 151 small districts that have serious problems meeting new graduation requirements. In Texas and other states, politicians are rewriting history books and leaving out the truth. Is this what we can expect in this state?
In elementary school, you learned reading, writing and arithmetic; in junior high, you explored many subjects to find what you were interested in; and in high school, you began to prepare for jobs or college. Algebra was once a ninth-grade class that politicians now seem to think should start in the seventh grade before the kids even know what 12 times 12 is. Why?

Role of PK2 on the differentiation of human neural stem cells and ischemia-induced neurogenesis
Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease, have become an increasingly important concern due to the expanding elderly people. The cost to society is immense, and successful new drug or cell therapies would result in an enormous savings to society, in addition to alleviating patient suffering. Neural damage as a result of stroke or trauma to the brain or spinal cord is also a leading cause of death and disability, and neuronal death is an important cause of some of the most intractable forms of epilepsy. Few therapies are available for these neurological disorders.
Providing a supply of new, functional neural cells at the site of the lesion, including new neurons, astrocytes and glial cells, have been proposed as means to ameliorate neural degeneration or damage. One proposed strategy for achieving this goal is to transplant neural stem and progenitor cells into the brain or spinal cord, such that they develop into specialized neural cells. An alternative strategy is to boost or initiate endogenous neurogenesis by delivering biologically active molecules to the brain or spinal cord, so as to stimulate the proliferation, differentiation and migration of endogenous neural stem or progenitor cells. Ideally, with either approach, the new cells will correctly reconstruct neuronal circuits, produce neurochemically active substances, and integrate into existing functional neural circuity. However, the development of effective therapies for treating neural repair is currently limited by the lack of understanding of the mechanisms that control neurogenesis. To develop improved therapies will thus require the identification of signal transduction pathways involved in neurogenesis and the regulators of these pathways. By identifying such pathways and regulators, new drugs can be developed that modulate neurogenesis in either ex vivo or in vivo applications. Thus, there exists a need to identify signal transduction pathways for modulating neurogenesis. Identification of extrinsic factors coordinating the proliferation and maturation of neural stem cells and progenitors in normal brain as well as after brain injury may lead to novel drug candidates and/or therapeutic targets for neural repair.
Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, have become an increasingly health concern due to the expanding elderly population. Neural damage as a result of stroke or trauma to the brain or spinal cord is also a leading cause of death and disability. No adequate therapy is available for these delabiliting neurological disorders. California, with one of highest ratio of retired population, has increasing number of people suffer from these debilitating neurological disorders, sometimes for many years. The cost is immense, and progress at prevention and new drug or cell treatment would result in an enormous savings to our state, in addition to alleviating patient suffering. Here we propose to study the effect of a newly discovered molecule on the differentiation of cultured human neural stem cell. We will also study whether the delivery of this molecule into brain can ameliorate the neural damage caused by stroke. The successful completion of these aims may lead to validation of a potential novel drug therapy or new drug target for treating stroke and other neurological disorders. This grant application will also benefit the State of California and its citizens by creating intellectual properties, and help the training of next generation scientists of neural repair and neural regeneration.

Nonvignon Ahouanligodo Group
Translated from French by Sarah Llewellyn, Kiva Volunteer.
Le présent micro projet porte sur la transformation de noix de palme en huile rouge. Il est l'œuvre de l'association féminine NONVIGNON. Ce groupement féminin a été crée en 2004 suite aux mesures sociales du gouvernement en vue d'aider les couches de la population démunies à travers des activités génératrices de revenu. ll compte actuellement 3 membres et est situé dans la commune D'AKPRO – MISSERETE à AHOUANLIGODO. Frontalière avec la capitale politique du BENIN, cette commune regorge d'énormes richesses. Le financement de ce micro projet permettra d'augmenter la capacité de production du groupement, de dégager des bénéfices et d'améliorer les conditions de vie de ses membres.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Samsung ATIV Book Q ultrabook 2-in-1 leaks with Acer Aspire R7-like hinge
Samsung will be revealing some new products that they've been working on, and as the event invitation suggested, we should be seeing some new Galaxy and ATIV devices. Just mere hours before the event is scheduled to get underway, we've been treated with a leak that is said to be the ATIV Book Q with a style that reminds us of the new Acer Aspire R7.
UPDATE: We now have hands-on with the Samsung ATIV Q, as it's called, and you'll never believe what it's actually able to do. Hint: it's got Android in it.

The Apple News You Might Have Missed - 10 views
shared by johnpiter on 23 Sep 14 - No Cached
johnpiter on 23 Sep 14I will admit that I'm an Apple fanatic. 4 years ago, I waited in live for 15 hours to get the iPhone 4 that I felt was going to be a game changer. While I won't be waiting in line again for the iPhone 6, I do think Apple's announcement last week was the biggest in years!

Paget,29, becomes just the second rider to win the prestigious event on debut after fellow Kiwi Mark Todd back in 1980.
Paget, riding Clifton Promise, found himself fourth after the dressage event but moved into second place after a perfect cross-country round, with just Jung ahead of him.
Jung, the pre-tournament favourite, appeared set for victory with just one fence remaining in the final showjumping discipline but with the pressure on, he faltered.
With spectators already hailing him as champion, the German Olympic champion's horse La Biosthetique Sam sent the final fence tumbling to the ground, stunning the crowd and handing a sensational victory to Paget.
"I have lost out at other four-stars with tiny mistakes and came here secretly knowing I could win," said Paget.
"I was out in the collecting ring with my horse, not watching Michael – like everyone else I assumed he would do it. Then I heard the roar turn to a gasp and thought: 'S---, it's me!'
"When I was young, I was watching videos of Badminton, thinking to myself it must be cool to be there. And now I am here."
Another Kiwi Andrew Nicholson, with Nereo, went clear in showjumping to finish third, but the day undoubtedly belonged to the ever-improving Paget.
