Rocky Point | The Pender County Sheriff's Office is seeking information about the whereabouts of a wanted 23-year-old man.
Benigno Perez has been charged with first-degree statutory rape , but has eluded arrest since September.
Not many details are available, but Sgt. John Leatherwood said the rape victim was an underage female.
The warrant for Perez's arrest was issued Sept. 14. Previous tips have said Perez is known to frequent the Rocky Point area.
Leatherwood asks that anyone with any information regarding Perez's whereabouts contact him at (910) 470-9800.

Norfolk 6 Syracuse 5 (11 inn.)
• Young 5⅓ IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 4K
• Davis 2IP, 1H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Perez 3-6, R, 2B
• Kobernus 2-6, 2R, SB
• Rhymes 2-5, BB, 2RBI
After taking a two-run lead with single runs in the 6th and 7th, the Chiefs gave it back with a three-run 8th but tied the Tide with a two-out Will Rhymes RBI single in the 9th. Alas, Norfolk got to Mike Crotta (the seventh Syracuse pitcher) in the 11th for the deciding run, 6-5. Chris Young got the start and gave up just two runs on six hits and one walk (all season lows) with four strikeouts. Eury Perez scored the tying run with the second of his three singles, which led the Syracuse hit column. Jeff Kobernus and Micah Owings both scored two runs, with Kobernus swiping his 13th bag, which would lead any league without Billy Hamilton (17).
Binghamton 6 Harrisburg 1
• Clay (L, 3-1) 7IP, 6H, 4R, 4ER, BB, 2K, 2HR
• Lehman 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Rendon 2-4, BB, 2K
• Hood 2-4, 2B, 2K, OF assist at 2B
Harrisburg was one hit shy of Binghamton, but outhomered 3-0 and outscored 6-1. Caleb Clay took the loss, giving up six hits and four runs, three coming via two home runs allowed. He walked one and struck out two. Anthony Rendon both went 2-for-4 and struck out twice as the Senators were a woeful 1-for-14 with RISP and 11 runners left on. Pat McCoy gave up the third big fly and the final two B-Mets runs in the 8th. Pat Lehman, activated from the DL after Marcos Frias was struck by a line drive on Saturday night, pitched a scoreless 9th.
Potomac 3 Carolina 2

• Mirowski (BS, 2;W, 2-2) 2IP, 2H, 1R, 0ER, BB, 3K
• Burns 2-4, R, RBI, BB, SB
• Taylor 2-5, RBI
For the second time in less than a week, Billy Burns and Michael Taylor teamed up for the walk-steal-walkoff as Potomac edged Myrtle Beach, 3-2 to take the series 2-1 and close out the homestand 5-2. The steal was Burns's Carolina League-leading 14th while Taylor's single was his second of the game, but just the third P-Nat hit from scoring position as the P-Nats struggled to plate their nine hits and six walks, not to mention three Pelican errors. Taylor Hill gave up just two hits over seven innings, but one was a solo shot. He walked two and struck out seven. Richie Mirowski got the win with an unearned run over the last two frames, allowing two hits and a walk but setting down three on strikes.
Hagerstown 5 Augusta 4 — GAME ONE

• Benincasa (SV, 5) 1IP, 0R, 2BB, 3K
• Miller 3-3, 2R, 2-2B, HR, 3RBI
• Schill 2-3, RBI
Brandon Miller doubled and scored twice, homered once, and drove in three runs as the Suns edged the Braves, 5-4 in what was to be the first of two in Rome, GA yesterday afternoon. Kylin Tunrbull got the win, but continues to give up the long hits, allowing seven total with five going for extra bases (two homers, two doubles, and a triple) as he gave up four runs and walked one with three strikeouts in his second start since being demoted from Potomac. Will Hudgins pitched a scoreless 6th for his second hold while Robert Benincasa walked two and struck out three in the 7th for his fifth save.
Hagerstown vs. Augusta — GAME TWO (PPD.)
The rains came back and postponed game two. They'll try to get in two tonight, weather permitting.

Which National would need to be injured for Jeff Kobernus to be called up. Mind you, I don't want the injury; I am just wondering if there is any scenario other than the calendar turning to September that would give Kobernus a taste of the Show.
Is there a point where the Nationals have to start paying more attention to Billy Burns? I am sure when they drafted him they viewed him as an organizational guy but he seems to be on a similar trajectory as Lombardozzi (outplaying his "abilities"). The guy has a 14% walk rate to go along with an 85% success rate stealing bases and a slash line of .309/.404/.377 which is weighed down by his 2011 stats from Auburn.
I have not seen him in person so I can't be sure if his defense is any good or not but thus far in his minor league career he has looked like a sleeper to me.
I don't think that it's coincidence that Koberus is playing OF for Cuse. If Werth's ankle forced the Nats to DL him, I could see the Nats juggling their roster to bring up Kobernus. Perez is the only minor league OF on the Nats 40 man roster. If the Nats think Kobernus could help them more than Perez, they could move Christian Garcia to the 60 day DL and bring up Kobernus. While not likely, it is possible.
Unless I missed something Corey Brown is still on the 40 man roster as well. I like the year Kobernus is having but to me he has to keep it up for another month and a 2nd time through the league before it is anything more than an extended hot streak. For 3 years in a row prior to this season he posted BABIP of .331, .330 and .330. This year is .426 so far. If you regress that to his career norm that takes his batting average from .376 to .280 which, not coincidently is right around what he has hit the past 3 season as well (.279, .282 & .279). He has been making contact at about 3-4% higher rate this year while also seeing a slight uptick in his walk rate so maybe he is putting it together. The extra 3-4% contact rate could make a smaller jump in BABIP conceivable but maybe something in the range of .345 – .350. I would not be shocked to see him slow down and finish the season somewhere in the .300 batting average range but I think some people (not targetting anyone in this comment section) might need to lower their expectations.
I noticed Kobernus played LF for Cuse lately. Although it probably has more to do with getting Will Rhymes and Kobernus both in the lineup.
Anyone know the situation with Shawn Pleffner? I remember he wasn't even listed on Hagerstown's team and now he is batting cleanup hitting .300, which is by far the most production we are getting out of any Firstbaseman at any level.
Also consider me in the Mike McQuillian fan club! He might not look like much but I like his results.
I'd like to see both of these guys get moved up to Potomac and play. Billy Burns and Rendon are the only other position players worthy of a bump up in level at this point, but both would be going to very crowded positions at the next level.
I know Rizzo like athletic Middle infielders and flame thrower pitchers, but it might be time to grab a few 1B and C in this draft to help fill out the organizational depth chart.
Word is draft is lean in June
Pfeff is below 500 ABs in his minor league career
He is aided by masher Miller in hags. Like Brandon !
MASN is reporting that Trevor Holder has been released and replaced by Bill Bray.
Third round pick, Holder. Never did get that one.
Many on here speculated it was a cost saving signing after Strasburg and Storen that year. Nats spent more on signing 12th rounder Nate Karns then Holder
Shame to see Holder cut, yet another example of how unfair minor league baseball can be. I honestly feel there is a decent number of potential major league caliber player who never get there shot, because they dont have the great stuff, or the sexy swing. Not saying Holder was gonna be one of thoes guys, but he ertaitnly showed some positive signs this year and last. Good luck Mr. Holder, whever the future may take you
Yes, its interesting they would let a player like Holder, a high round draft pick, who has been performing well, go. I thought they were going to give him a shot. Maybe if he had been left-handed …
Needless to say, I really liked that pitcher.

I'm not going to shed a tear, because I know that Drew Barrymore will rebound after ABC canceled her TV remake of Charlie's Angels. Granted, it didn't have the same appeal as her films (based off the original series) starring Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Ms. Barrymore, but I'm all about 'girl power'.
I had run across various viewers who were undecided if they would keep tuned in for the long haul but ABC officially gave the ol' axe after ratings declined, even after the recent surcharge they received. If you liked the show, then don't worry, it will continue airing on Thursdays at 8 p.m. with an unknown number of episodes (four have already aired). Too bad the show didn't capture it's audience fast enough, but I had mentioned the possible (overall) 'success' rates of new shows in prime time slots this season in a previous article. You can also catch up with aired episodes of the winged beauties online here
I'm going to watch all the episodes. I like Drew and most of the things she does, but I honestly wish she came out with another C.A. film featuring a more diverse cast but sticking with the formula that made the other two films popular.
Oh well, back to the drawing board or at least, back to the 'remake' board.

When it comes to security and safety, Adobe's Flash is not the most secure piece of software around. Over the years Flash has had many notable security flaws exploited, and a report from Krebson Security on July 9 suggests that there is yet another critical security flaw within the software.
A Google Engineer by the name of Michele Spagnuolo created a proof of concept exploit tool called "Rosetta Flash". The exploit tool has brought to light a security snafu that could easily allow hackers to steal cookies and other data by simply using malicious Flash .SWF files.
The hardest part of believe about this new exploit is that it is not a new exploit at all, in fact security communities around the world have known about the flaw for quite some time, but the powers that be decided not to issue a fix until someone figured out how to use the exploit.
The "Rosetta Flash" exploit tool has rocked the flash world, and it has made companies such as Microsoft, Twitter, Google, and Instagram spring in to action. Users of the services provided by these companies can rest easy at night knowing that they have already fixed the issue, but that does not mean that other services are safe.
If you use either Chrome or Internet Explorer, your browser will automatically update to the latest version of Flash, 126.96.36.199, however if you use Firefox you will have to download the update manually from Adobe's website. If you want to make absolutely sure that you are using the latest version of the troubled software, visit the official Adobe site here, and the current version of Flash installed on your computer will be displayed.
Adobe has issued a fix for the issue, and any developers who have used Flash in their software have been urged to update their programs immediately. If you use programs such as Tweetdeck, or Pandora you will also need to grab the latest version of Adobe Air just to be on the safe side. The latest version of Adobe Air is 184.108.40.206.
There is no doubt that Adobe Flash has been a great piece of software over the years, but with the frequent security issues, and the emergence of HTML 5, it looks as though its days could be numbered. Make sure you are running the latest version, and do not install any files that you are unsure of.

Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:47 AM
DHS can't help you. If your divorce decree doesn't award child support, then in order to get it you'll have to request a modification from the same court that issued it. It's not clear from your brief message why you didn't get it in the first place, but whatever the reason, you'll have to convince the court that circumstances have changed. Consult local counsel.

When play resumed in 2005 after the work stoppage, much was made of the increase in restraining fouls called. The NHL's reply to critics of the spate of power plays was that the numbers would go down as players acclimated themselves to the way the games were being called.
Looks like the League was right.
With the season set to pass the two-thirds mark on Saturday, the average number of power plays in a game has fallen to levels not seen in more than three decades. Entering the weekend, the 810 games played this season have had an average of 6.90 power plays -- the lowest figure since 1978-79, when the 17-team NHL averaged 6.77 power plays in its 680 games.

"Being in the stockyards makes you feel like a cowboy and you act like one, walking with a swagger wearing boots and a hat."
—A citizen of Norway visiting Fort Worth
When the railroad got to Fort Worth in 1876, the city became a cattle-shipping point. The area by the railroad where the cattle were kept in pens became known as The Stockyards. Swift and Armour meat companies set up shop there and soon a neighborhood sprang up, with cafes, saloons, western wear stores and saddle shops. The anchor for the stockyards was the Exchange Building, where cattle barons bought and sold. Because of the high volume of business it was called the Wall Street of the West.
It really hasn't changed much since those early days. The cattle auction still takes place on a regular basis and the cattle pens are still used. Cowboys drive a herd of longhorn cattle down Exchange Avenue twice a day. Rodeos take place every Friday and Saturday nights in the Cowtown Coliseum, which has an arena about the same size as the arena at the National Finals Rodeo. Big name rodeo competitors go to the stockyards rodeo. So do spectators from all over the world.
The sidewalks in Fort Worth's historic stockyards area have huge bronze stars imbedded in them. The stars, which look like an old fashioned Marshall's badge, contain names of Texans who have been inducted into the Texas Trail of Fame. "The trail recognizes individuals who have made major contributions to the preservation of our western heritage," says H.R. (Hub) Baker, President of the Trail. "It began back in 1997 and since then we have inducted 130 individuals."
The idea for the trail came from Allen Short, who developed much of the present day stockyards area and was the first president of the trail. On a trip to Hollywood he saw the stars in the sidewalks there, came back and went to work getting the trail started in the stockyards area.
The inductees are nominated and voted on by a board of directors and advisory committee. Sam Houston, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Charles Goodnight, Bob Wills and Nolan Ryan are just a few of the names found on the 24-inch stars. "School kids come down on scavenger hunts to find names," says Hub. "Some of them do rubbings as part of the reports they have to do on the names they find."
The induction ceremony takes place every fall during the Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering, one of the most well attended functions in the stockyards district. Chuck wagons are set up on the grounds in front of the Exchange Building with all the authentic paraphernalia of the old days. Visitors sample a typical cowboy meal cooked on a Dutch 0ven.
I had the privilege to be inducted into the Texas Trail of Fame this past October 26. It is a high honor.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" is supposed to be about the women but lately Phaedra Parks' husband Apollo Nida has been soaking up all the "RHOA" gossip time. On Jan. 30 All About The Real Housewives dished on Apollos response to those who have been talking about him.
Apollo Nida has taken center-stage lately in "RHOA" rumors. He recently was charged for fraud and identity theft in a case shockingly similar to one for which he was already convicted. In addition, the lated "RHOA" epsiode showed Apollo losing it and attacking Brandon DeShazer after he is accidentally hit trying to break up a fight.
On top of all that drama, now the rumor mill is saying Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida may be separated. Others are saying that if they aren't separated, they should be. The new legal issues Apollo faces in addition to previous cheating rumors and the text scandal he had with Kenya would be enough to make any woman throw in the towel.
In any case, Apollo felt the need to defend himself and to justify the fight everyone is talking about. He tweeted:
@KayIsis87 I want let any one put their hands on me period Point is it only takes 1 hit to hurt a person & I must go hm to my family[sic]
In regard to the rumors that he and Phaedra are separated or may be separating, he was very brief. In a one word answer, he again tweeted "NEVER!!!!"
Now here's what Apollo Nida isn't talking about: his pending legal troubles. Apollo has yet to talk about the new fraud and identity theft charges against him. They are shockingly similar to the ones he was already convicted of served time for. More than likely, Nida is keeping his mouth shut on that subject at the advice of his attorney.

Petunias are one of the favorite annuals for gardens all around the country. Annuals only last for one season, but they bloom enthusiastically. Petunias can be planted singly but are most impressive when grouped in masses. Their colors make a bold statement and there are some new varieties being introduced that are expanding your choices. Use them in landscape design, fill flower boxes or containers or dangle them from hanging pots. Here are some of the exciting new colors that that have recently become available in garden centers – and a few more you should be seeing in seasons to come.
In the past few years the black petunia has become popular. The color is a very deep purple that looks like black. Varieties like the 'Black Velvet Petunia' and other black cultivars offer a velvety element of mystery to the garden.
This year the plant developer, Suntory, introduced the Variegated Baby Purple 'Surfinar®' that sports brilliant pink-purple flowers set off by green and soft yellow foliage. This is a petunia that will add bi-colored effects to the landscape with the combination of flowers and unusual foliage. Also from the same company comes the'Moonlight Eclipse™' Petunia with flowers of blended purples with a soft green edge. These artistic tinted blooms smother the lush, rounded growth and make this plant ideal as a bedder or to fill a decorative hanging pot.
Another unusual color soon to break into retail outlets is orange. The orange petunia will add a whole new color range for this annual. It is rich and bright with no darkness or paleness. And it is a color not previously seen in petunias. Look for these colors now and in coming seasons. With the ever growing color choices in this favorite plant, you can paint your garden with an assortment of colors, designs and effects.
Like all annuals, petunias will keep flowering even longer if you keep faded flowers trimmed. This is called dead-heading. Snipping spent blooms keeps the plants from setting seed and dying since they will try to make more flowers for setting seed rather than dying.
Watch out for these new colors in garden centers. Mix and match them with other petunias, or experiment with the newest varieties. The choices get better every year!

In February 2011, Elburton Primary School in Plymouth, acquired a wartime Anderson shelter from a local resident. By June, 300+ hours later, the shelter was restored and installed in the school's 1940s themed garden in order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Plymouth Blitz, and to educate the children about life on the Home Front during the second world war. This video documents the restoration process from the initial collection of the shelter, to its eventual installation in the ground. It is hoped that the Anderson shelter will survive for many years to come, and provide the children at Elburton with a stimulating learning resource, giving them first-hand experience of what residents went through during the air raids that destroyed the City of Plymouth during WWII.

STANFORD, Calif. - The No. 6 Stanford men's gymnastics team will be back in action this weekend when it plays host to the Stanford Open at Burnham Pavilion. The event includes gymnasts of all levels and runs Friday through Sunday. The NCAA competition between Stanford, No. 5 California and No. 9 Nebraska will take place Saturday at 7 p.m.
Stanford head coach Thom Glielmi is excited about the frenetic pace of the weekend and the opportunity to compete for the third consecutive week.
"In addition to our competition, there will be gymnasts all over the place, a six ring circus," said Glielmi. "The NCAA and elite sessions run side-by-side. It's the only meet we charge admission for and it should sell out. It's a great competition and there's a lot of energy in the gym."
Stanford (1-1) is led by All-American Eddie Penev who has won the all-around title in both of Stanford's meets this season and tied or established career highs in floor exercise, pommel horse and all-around. The Cardinal split the first two dual meets of the season against California with each team winning on their home floor. Stanford is second in the country in vault and fifth in floor exercise and still rings. Penev is third in the all-around rankings and Sean Senters leads the country in vault (15.300).
California (1-1) is led by first-year head coach and former All-American Tim McNeill. The Golden Bears rank second in the country as a team in pommel horse and third in parallel bars. Glen Ishino leads the nation on pommel horse (15.300).
Nebraska (3-2) is led by head coach Chuck Chmelka. The Cornhuskers rank fifth in the country in pommel horse and seventh in vault.
Former Stanford All-Americans Alex Buscaglia, Ryan Liebermann and Sho Nakamori will be competing in preparation for the re-ranking meet for the U.S. National Team. Kyle Bunthuwong and Brian Del Castillo of UC Berkeley will also compete.
Unlike other men's gymnastics meets, admission will be charged all weekend. Please refer to the pricing guide above for details.
Spectators for the NCAA portion of the meet on Saturday night are encouraged to arrive early in anticipation of a sell-out.

Manuel Martinez, an immigrant who fled Castro's Cuba, shredded Oregon lawmakers in a YouTube video posted Monday at the DC Clothesline, telling elected officials that "Marxism is here."
"Marxism is not coming, Marxism is here," a passionate Martinez told the state's Senate Judiciary Committee, speaking out against Senate Bill 1551, which if passed, would expand strict background checks to private sales of guns.
"Marxism has been in this country for quite a while and the politicians allow that because they are ignorant or they are part of the plot," he added.
Martinez spoke out strongly against the bill, calling it a step towards gun control and eventual confiscation.
"Don't sell me this. A very powerful man tried to sell me this 50-something years ago, I didn't buy it. This is Marxism, plain and clear," he said. "Do you think I'm going to buy it now?"
Martinez also compared the actions of lawmakers to those in Communist Cuba, accusing them of performing a bait-and-switch.
"They put this dog and pony show saying hey, we are going to protect you. No, what they did was enslave a country. They destroyed a country the same way that this country is going to be destroyed if we continue in this fashion. This is what you're selling here," he said.
At this point, Martinez displayed Communist propaganda magazines, showing them to the audience behind him.
"You are not selling protection. You don't care if we die or live. This is what you're selling," he added, prompting applause from the audience that was quickly shut down by the panel.
A post at the GOP Daily Dose said Martinez is "more attuned to the reality of the threat to America than most of the native born population."
USA Today said that testimony lasted for two hours with passionate pleas from both sides, including retired Navy Capt. Mark Kelly, whose wife -- former Rep. Gabby Giffords -- was shot in 2011.
In a stunning display of hypocrisy, however, Kelly went shooting at the Portland Police Bureau Central Precinct Range after testifying in favor of the bill.
Kevin Starrett, director of the Oregon Firearm Federation, said the bill could lead to registration and eventual confiscation, but was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist by Sen. Floyd Prozanski, the Eugene Democrat who authored the bill.
"We all know what this bill is about. This is a gun registration and confiscation bill. Let's not tell the same lies we told in New York and California," Starrett said.
Prozanski said Tricia Whitfield, the woman who runs the state's background check program, testified that information on approved sales are destroyed after 10 days, USA Today said.
"I understand your conspiracist perspective," he said when Starrett questioned the truthfulness of the claim.

Q2 Perspective: Keep Calm and Carry OnJune 2011
Can the recovery survive the events of the past three months: jobs that would never return, unsold houses, gasoline surpassing $4 per gallon, the U.S. warned by Standard & Poor's that it had something in common with Greece and Ireland, and uncertainty about how the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, Germany and France will deal with increasingly probable sovereign defaults? In the background, China and India tightened the monetary screws on inflation to curb speculation in real estate and commodities. On top of these events, markets had to digest the widespread supply chain disruptions caused by the earthquake in Japan, the Mississippi River flooding hundreds of square miles of prime farming land, and the devastating tornadoes hitting parts of Missouri and Oklahoma. Lastly, in an echo from 2010, the Commerce Department reported that factory orders dropped 1.2% in April, slightly more than was expected.
Equity Markets Remained Undaunted
Through it all, the U.S. equity market registered a modest 6.5% decline between mid-February and mid-March. By the end of April investors had bid prices to a new recovery high. For the three months ended May 31, 2011, the S&P 500 had appreciated 1.35%. This month a slew of government data showed the economy to be slowing and equities declined 4.8% through June 15. Given all the upsets, this modest decline of 3.5% over the 14 week period (March 31, 2011 - June 15, 2011) in the face of such odds, strongly suggests that the global recovery will be difficult to stop (CHART 1).
The Progression from Recession to Recovery to Expansion Is Often Uneven
The recent soft economic reports suggest the path to expansion is not always smooth. In April 2010 for example, a slight "miss" in the quarterly GDP report, 3.2% versus the expected 3.4%, cracked confidence and sent stocks down 16%. Thereafter, the market climbed 33% to its April 29 high. A correction would not be unusual after the 101% advance from the recession's March 9, 2009 low. We disagree with those who see another recession. Following the British government's WWII exhortation, "Keep Calm and Carry on" makes sense.
Early Signals May Be Pointing toward Expansion
At major market turns, such as March 9, 2009, nearly every measure of economic activity looks bad, but also enticing to the discerning market observer. The threshold between recovery and expansion is harder to detect. One sign is the slowing year over year rate at which company earnings grow. In the quarter just reported, S&P 500 companies' net income grew a respectable 17% versus this time last year. The year-over-year growth in the prior four quarters, however, showed off the snapback that often occurs at the end of deep recessions (CHART 2).
Another signal is that less cyclical sectors, for example food and health care begin to outperform when a recovery transitions to expansion. This recovery/expansion is no different. The materials, energy and industrial sectors were market leaders in the second half of last year; healthcare and consumer staples joined again by energy led this year through May 31.
Are Rising Commodity Prices Signaling Inflation?
Why have oil, copper and grain prices leapt this year? The core reason is that there is simply more demand as the world recovers from recession. Next, the entrance of India, China and Brazil as major economic players on the world stage over the past decade is absorbing massive amounts of industrial metals and oil to sustain growth.
Metals, such as silver, copper and tin, are up between 400% and 700% over the past decade responding to this new demand. Gold has risen 464% through June 14.1 Gold's appeal rests upon a convergence of several trends: emerging market demand, low interest rates stimulating speculation, demand by small investors via ETFs and widening fear that the dollar is no longer a secure store of value. Gold, however, is simply a bet on the failure of developed nations to devise credible solutions to their seemingly intractable problems, led by runaway entitlement spending. We do not take this bet.
The Fed's zero interest rate policy has diminished the dollar's appeal but made levered commodity trading very attractive. This "carry trade" buying is no doubt a significant support for higher oil and metals prices. It is, however, a long-held truth that the cure for high prices is high prices. High prices attract new supply, suggesting commodity prices will likely revert to longer-term trends. New mines, however, take a long time to open, while expanding crops takes less time. There is lots of oil, and the political changes occurring among Arab states just might place supplies into friendlier hands. The high prices may also stimulate innovative techniques to use energy more efficiently and extract it from new sources.
1. Source: LME, Bloomberg. June 15, 2001 through June 14, 2011.
Conflating the threat to the dollar's reserve currency status and preeminence in international transactions with the flight to gold is premature. Barry Eichengreen of UC Berkeley points out the inconvenient truth hovering above the anxiety, "There has been no discernable movement away from the dollar as a currency in which to invoice trade and settle transactions. The dollar remains the dominant currency in the foreign exchange market"2 accounting for 85% of all foreign exchange transactions according to the Bank for International Settlements. The day will come when transactions between Asian economies become so large that it will be efficient to settle transactions in renminbi. But this huge change also presupposes much greater confidence in the stability of the trading partners' governments than exists today.
While a Threat for Emerging Countries, Lasting Inflation Does Not Appear Likely for the U.S.
Inflation is indeed rising in emerging countries. As the Financial Times reported, "With the rapid recovery of the past two years, many companies are running full stretch. HSBC says the output gap (the difference between actual output and maximum capacity) has disappeared in most East Asian economies, including China and in Brazil. Workers are winning pay increases and employers are passing on the costs. The UK bank says, `This creates the risk that in emerging economies inflation shocks turn into self-perpetuating inflation processes.'"3 Emerging market central banks are reacting by raising interest rates and restricting credit to blunt this toxic cycle. India has made some progress, while inflation has slowed in Russia and more recently in China. Brazil's inflation, however, continues to move higher (CHART 3).

Inflation in the U.S. and the European Union Is Mitigated by Higher Savings, Cuts in Government Spending and High Unemployment
Inflation's path in the U.S. and Euro Zone is moving higher but returning to a level that dispels the specter of deflation so evident last summer. How deftly Ben Bernanke disposes of the huge inventory of securities on the Fed's balance sheet will determine whether or not inflation takes root here. Although $4 gasoline challenges this outlook, the wide output gap strongly suggests how difficult it will be for accelerating inflation to become established.
Public and private austerity makes virulent inflation taking hold problematic. Governments are beginning to spend less and people are beginning to save more. Americans especially are embracing belt tightening, saving at almost twice the rate they saved at during the ten years ended 2009 (CHART 4).
Governments are also cutting spending and shedding employees. The change in behavior—higher saving and public sector austerity—suggests that ongoing recovery will depend more upon net exports and investment than on rising consumption, the engine in earlier recoveries. This is possible, but with consumption such a preponderant part of the U.S. economy, exports and investment are unlikely to meaningfully accelerate expansion from its current tepid pace.
In sum, the mix of a high savings rate in the U.S., moves to cut government spending and the still large amount of idle labor are formidable headwinds to "inflation processes" taking root.
U.S. and European Economies Will Need to Confront Debt and Deficit Issues
The United States is about to hold its quadrennial debate about its future; a debate already underway in state houses, city halls and around kitchen tables. The focus will be upon sorting out economic priorities and preserving adequate revenues for government services paid for by higher taxes, less consumption, greater investment and less debt. In Europe, the European Stability Mechanism will be in place, and we trust it will be the forceful institution to manage Greece and other bankrupt economies back to sustainable health. If we and the Europeans again just "kick the can down the road," bond investors will lose patience. Standard and Poor's growl about U.S. finances will become true.
Broad Forces that Sustain Growth Are Present throughout the Emerging Markets
Multiple drivers of growth are intersecting in the emerging markets—productivity of labor, productivity of capital and demographics—most of which are not robust in Europe, Japan or the U.S. This potential is also the investment challenge because emerging markets periodically become overcrowded and overvalued. That, however, does not deny the opportunity offered when investors skillfully enter—and periodically take profits—in these more volatile markets.
Our Outlook for Growth Remains Positive
Fiduciary Trust is fortunate to be associated with Franklin Templeton's local asset managers who manage investments for Brazilian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Indian investors from offices in the financial capitals of these countries. Their research is an important resource for Fiduciary Trust clients, both for the "bottom up" information on specific companies, and for the local market perspective. Although we are somewhat cautious today and have trimmed emerging market exposures, the growth potential is clear. It is fashionable to be gloomy, but we believe the opportunities presented by a dynamic U.S. economy, China hastening its development march toward domestic consumption and Japan rebuilding from a ten-year slump are indeed enticing.

Renewed Demand Benefitted Bond Investors
Receding Credit Concerns Helped Buoy Bonds
Bond prices rallied overall during the second quarter, driving bond yields down to their lowest levels of the year. Two factors worked in favor of bonds during this time: 1) Investors became more risk-averse due to worries over a slowdown in global growth, with the re-emergence of debt woes for some European countries and the impact of the tsunami in Japan; 2) Inflation fears subsided, partly in response to commodity prices retreating from highs earlier in the year.
In the municipal bond market, heightened credit worries caused a sell-off of municipal bonds, which began in late 2010. In fact, municipal bond mutual funds, often used as a broad measure of demand, experienced over $38 billion in total net outflows in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, representing the largest net outflows in a two quarter period since 1990.1 By the middle of the second quarter, however, the pace of this sell-off moderated as concern over widespread government defaults receded and the pace of state tax collections continued to show improvement.
The fiscal restraint that is being discussed at the federal level in the U.S. is also occurring at the state and local levels, as states and cities have cut back on spending and borrowing. These spending cutbacks have resulted in a significantly lower volume of municipal bonds being issued. In fact, after hitting a record high for the year 2010, the volume of municipal bonds issued year-to-date has declined to the lowest level in 11 years, and is less than half of the volume that was issued during this timeframe last year (CHART 1).
As we move into the second half of the year, we anticipate a slight improvement in the economy, coupled with an increase in municipal bond supply as most states will eventually finalize their 2012 budgets. We expect that these actions will lead to modest upward pressure on yields.
While confidence has presently returned to the market, we believe that current risk/reward valuations are unfavorable. Many states are facing ongoing fiscal challenges and will undergo a meaningful reduction in aid from the federal government. We remain vigilant in the management of both credit and interest rate risk, and are positioning portfolios with a defensive bias toward capital preservation and a focus on high quality bonds with intermediate-term maturities.

- Our allocation recommendation to equities remains overweight, with an emphasis on U.S. large-cap companies that are well-positioned to benefit from a continued global recovery.
- We have reduced our recommended exposure to preferred stocks and added the proceeds to U.S. large-cap stocks. Rising earnings, and in many cases dividends, add to their relative appeal.
- Small-cap stocks are generally more volatile and cyclical than large-cap stocks, and we have tactically reduced our recommended small-cap exposure, adding the proceeds to cash.
- We are not ready to restore an overweight recommendation in emerging markets because we believe a number of factors—including monetary tightening, a diminishing labor cost advantage and, in China's case, growing demand to revalue the currency upward—have temporarily narrowed the potential advantages of investing there.
- Our recommended municipal bond allocation remains underweight as we see the overall level of interest rates as unattractive and are finding better relative value in other fixed income sectors.
- We are seeking select opportunities in essential service revenue bonds, higher coupon callable bonds trading at premiums and government-guaranteed housing bonds.
- We are recommending an overweight allocation to both investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds due to their improving credit fundamentals and for the additional yield potential they offer over U.S. Treasuries.
- Our cash allocation recommendation has increased slightly due to our more cautious view toward U.S. small-cap stocks.
During the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve's goal was to stimulate and reinflate the economy by injecting an extraordinary amount of capital into the economy, which resulted in near zero short-term interest rates. With the second round of government monetary stimulus (quantitative easing) scheduled to end on June 30, 2011, our Fiduciary Trust Forum panel members discuss fixed income investing in today's post-credit crisis environment.
Q. With five consecutive quarters of positive GDP growth in the U.S., inflation concerns have been dominating headlines. What is your view?
RON: We believe inflation risks are a greater concern abroad than in the U.S. Core inflation bottomed in the U.S. during the third quarter of 2010. If no unforeseen events present themselves, we believe the core inflation rate will end 2011 in a very low range of 1.5% to 2.0%.
ERIC: Bond investors always worry about inflation. While we are nervous by nature, we believe the Fed's view, that domestic inflation is mostly transitory and not at a level that will be persistent for the long term, is correct.
This view stems from the belief that the increasing prices of essential commodities, such as oil, are acting like a tax and are taking money out of consumers' hands which tends to slow the economy. This can work to keep inflation from taking hold, as long as wage increases do not accompany these price increases. At this stage, where unemployment remains high, we believe that wage increases will present themselves very slowly as the economy continues to grow, create jobs and absorb excess labor.
Q. Do you believe the stage is set for interest rates to increase?
RON: It appears that we are on the cusp of sustainable growth in the U.S. economy. If the current pace of the recovery continues, we expect the Federal Reserve to start raising the federal funds rate from the present 0.25% beginning sometime between the first and second quarter of 2012. We believe that interest rates will begin to gravitate modestly higher during the second half of this year.
CINDY: This course of action has been well telegraphed by the Fed, so broadly speaking this should not be too problematic or disruptive to the markets. In terms of long-term rates, we believe we will end the year with rates above the current low levels. This is based on our expectation for moderate economic growth above 2%.
Q. With the U.S. hitting its $14 trillion debt ceiling, how will fixed income investors be impacted?
RON: Our expectation is that legislators recognize the current path is unsustainable and will act prudently to address the debt limit issue, although we expect negotiations will likely go down to the wire. We believe the political climate has shifted and the prospects for meaningful fiscal discipline are improving.
CINDY: If actions are not taken, the markets will begin to punish the U.S. for not having a plan, or for having the wrong plan. The ramifications would likely be a weaker dollar, higher rates and slower growth than what we are calling for.
ERIC: The debt limit is a short-term issue, while the debt itself is a longer-term issue. Ultimately this means that job #1 is to get the U.S. financial house in order. In the late 70s double-digit wage-push inflation demanded bold action on the part of the Fed to break the back of inflation, and very assertive monetary policy was the answer. In the early 80s when the economy stalled, the extremely high marginal tax rates were lowered, and the economy boomed for the greater part of a decade.
We believe the Fed has largely done its part, and this next phase will require a host of policy responses from state and local governments. This could mean tax reform at the corporate and at the individual level, and austerity at every level of government—but not too much too fast.
Q. How are you navigating the municipal bond environment as state and local governments cope with their deficits?
RON: Clearly there have been challenges, but there have also been opportunities. During the recession, Washington sent states extra money to cover rising Medicaid costs and help them weather the downturn. This federal assistance for states, which has been enormously helpful in allowing states to avert some of the most harmful budget cuts, will largely be gone by June 30, 2011.
Now, we are seeing the effects of state deficits trickle down to the local levels. The challenging part is that the degree to which costs are shifted from state to local governments will vary from state to state, county to county and city to city.
CINDY: We therefore believe that some local level governments will be stressed, and anticipate that these stresses will continue to lead to some credit deterioration beyond the usual suspects of lower-rated or non-rated projects, healthcare, and real estate related credits.
ERIC: The great opportunity here is for investors who can look beyond negative headlines for the asset class and identify individual issuers with strong credit profiles. We have been investing in bonds with very good fundamentals while also positioning portfolios to have less exposure to areas we believe will be most subject to stresses.
Q. How has the municipal bond landscape changed for investors since the credit crisis?
RON: It is important to understand that the municipal market is not homogenous. It is characterized by its enormous size, diversity and the complexity of its many issuing authorities. Since the crisis, the complexity has increased significantly as it now takes an enhanced level of due diligence and bottom-up credit research to analyze the creditworthiness of securities. For example, the strength and enforceability of the borrower's legal obligation to pay, its capacity to generate the needed revenues, and its ability to adapt to adverse circumstances must be analyzed in every case.
ERIC: Another layer of difficulty has been the demise of bond insurers. These insurance companies offered an additional layer of credit protection since they guaranteed debt issued by municipalities. Today, just 5% of newly-issued bonds carry insurance, down from 50% four years ago. Insured bonds previously had the highest credit rating by all of the major credit rating agencies and made municipal bonds more of a commodity, hence, enhancing their liquidity. Now, the onus lies entirely with the investor to make bond selections from issuers they believe are creditworthy and secure.
CINDY: All of this means that targeted security selection has become a crucial factor in the ability to achieve a portfolio's objective. It takes significant research capabilities to identify bonds with the characteristics we are looking for and that meet our criteria. Our research and analysis allows us to filter out less desirable bonds and identify those bonds that best achieve our quality, duration and sector views.
Q. Where are you finding opportunities today?
RON: In the current market environment we are underweighting general obligation bonds, particularly at the local level. Our focus remains on essential service revenue, government guaranteed housing bonds and higher coupon callable bonds trading at premiums. Given the steepness of the yield curve, we find the six to eight-year maturities particularly attractive.
In the taxable bonds sector we continue to underweight U.S. Treasuries in favor of those sectors that we believe will benefit from improving economic growth. We are overweight corporate bonds, both investment grade and high-yield, for their improving credit fundamentals and the additional yield they offer over U.S. Treasuries.

One Day's Worth of Budget-Friendly Meals
What I've found to be so simple yet, so challenging, in college is feeding myself. Gone are the times when healthy, Mom-cooked meals showed up on my dinner table, and now I find myself needing to find nourishment that won't contribute to the Freshman –or, Senior-- 15 and doesn't break the bank.
Here are some staples of mine that I want to share with HC girls who are looking for simple things to cook that beat McDonald's in the nutrition department.
BREAKFAST/SNACK: No-bake granola balls
I've spent hours comparing countless granola bar boxes looking for the healthiest choice, until recently I discovered I can make my own! This is a great snack because it is easily customizable (for other picky eaters out there) and you don't even need an oven.
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (I use Smucker's Natural Creamy)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup dried/toasted coconut flakes
1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/2 chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
Mix everything in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Note: You can substitute anything for the dry items, such as dried cranberries/raisins, nuts, cereal etc… Likewise, you can leave anything out except for the peanut butter and honey because that's what makes it all stick together. Feel free to go crazy with this one!

Unstable Internet Connection
Though I have a fast internet connection service(plus 10 bucks for original price) from our Internet Service Provider, yet there comes a time that it is on and off. I could say it's my internet because READY light or sometimes WLAN in the modem should be stable and if not then, there's a problem of the connection. One time the customer service said it is my PC problem but I insist since they told me about the lights which is the stuff you will look into to determine the problem. If it is all in steady light, then my PC has a problem but nope, I see it in my very own eyes.. hemmm.. is it because of the weather, maintenance or some? I hope so since it is so annoying not to have what they promised. I hope it will be good already. That's all I want.

As the VA scandal and investigation heightens, the last thing the administration needs is more controversy over a recent death.
A vet collapsed and died waiting for an ambulance for nearly 20 minutes on Thursday in New Mexico. The military veteran passed away in the Albuquerque Veteran Affairs cafeteria, which is only some 500 yards from the emergency room, according to a July 4 Yahoo News report.
An unidentified man fell unconscious Monday in the facility's dining area and workers around him frantically tried to revive him, to no avail. From the onset, 911 operators were called about the fallen veteran. However, it took between 15 and 20 minutes for paramedics to arrive.
Sadly, the vet died while waiting for an ambulance to arrive and take him to the Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center. Ironically, the hospital is in another building on the campus.
Many spoke out against the manner in which the veteran died.
There's no reason for it. They have so many workers. They could have put him on the gurney and run faster than that ambulance," said Lorenzo Calbert, 65, a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War.
Sources say the Kirtland Air Force Medical Group personnel responded after the unnamed veteran became unresponsive and provided cardiopulmonary resuscitation (or CPR). But their efforts were in vain; the man died, possibly due to the long wait for medics to arrive on the scene.
There is no mention about the availability of an automated external defibrillator (or AED), which aids victims of ventricular fibrillation and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia. Experts believe it could have made a difference.
Monday's death of the veteran waiting for an ambulance in New Mexico heightens the angst against the Department of Veterans Affairs. The agency came under fire recently after news broke that scores of military veterans died while waiting for medical care.
Evidence surfaced of potential abuse and negligence at all levels of leadership. The boss of the embattled agency, VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, resigned back in March, citing that he didn't want to "become a distraction."
At this point, it's easy to unleash frustration on the troubled department, but some say it may be an unfair attack because of the manner in which the man died; it's a rare occurrence.
Still, when a veteran dies after waiting for an ambulance when he could have been carried to help faster, it's unsettling. And despite the distance, officials say policies were followed. Imagine that?
