To help celebrate NBC Rivalry Night, NHL.com will look at a rivalry within the rivalry of the featured game on Wednesday nights. For this week, we are trying to determine which rookie has had a bigger impact on his team, New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider or Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta.
Chris Kreider has become an impactful player for the Rangers this season after failing to make the team out of training camp. Olli Maatta wasn't expected to stay in Pittsburgh after the first nine games of the season, but he's played in all 35 games and is now getting top-pair minutes.
As the Rangers and Penguins get set to play at Madison Square Garden in the NBCSN Wednesday Night Rivalry game (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN), it's become apparent how important each of these rookies, Kreider and Maatta, are to their respective teams.
Prior to this season, Kreider had shown his potential in spurts going back to the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, when he had five goals in 18 games. This season, though, he's playing first-line left wing, and displaying the power and speed scouts have drooled over and the Rangers have raved about since they took him with the No. 19 pick in the 2009 NHL Draft.
He has 18 points in 27 games.
Maatta, who had no NHL experience prior to this season, has been forced into a bigger role because of injuries to the Penguins' top four defensemen, Kris Letang, Brooks Orpik, Paul Martin and Rob Scuderi. He's handled the extra workload with ease, evidenced by how effective he was in playing a career-high 24:17 in a 3-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
He was arguably Pittsburgh's best defenseman against Toronto.
It's come to the point now that the Rangers need Kreider to be as effective as Rick Nash. The same holds true for the Penguins and Maatta. They rely on the 19-year-old Finnish defenseman, especially with so many missing pieces on the back end due to injuries.
In what ways have they influenced their teams and, by extension, who has made a bigger impact? That's what we're examining this week, so let's get to it:
If you stand close enough to Kreider, one of the first things you notice is how powerful his lower body is. His legs are like tree trunks, strong enough that without using his arms or any assistance whatsoever he can jump out of the shallow end of a pool and land standing on the deck.
Kreider is using that power in his legs to his advantage since he was recalled from the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate on Oct. 20.
"The thing about Chris Kreider is when he was in college and other levels below the NHL his skating was so exceptional that he just skates past people, they're just not good enough," NHL Network analyst Craig Button told NHL.com. "At the NHL level not only are guys good enough, but they're smart enough to cut you off. What I see with his skating now, he's using it now to drive past people. He gets into those one-on-one confrontations and he's not getting negated anymore. Now he's powering through people."
Kreider came onto the scene like a blur in the 2012 playoffs after winning the NCAA championship with Boston College. Two of his five goals were game-winners. He quickly became a star in the Big Apple, but he was still young and raw. About the only person who wasn't gushing about him was former Rangers coach John Tortorella, who kept reminding everybody who asked him that Kreider still had to "go through the process."
Kreider struggled with the process last season. He had a slow start in the AHL during the lockout and then had to overcome a concussion. Mistakes at the NHL level were rampant. He wasn't confident, so he wasn't using his power and speed. He was relegated to a bottom-six role and was shuttled up and down from the minors.
Kreider had three points in 23 NHL games and 23 points in 48 AHL games.
"There were still things that Chris needed to learn," Button said. "I'm talking about positioning, stuff that John [Tortorella] is maniacal on. I think Chris went through the developmental growing pains. He was a work in progress."
Kreider was expected to flourish right away in coach Alain Vigneault's more wide-open system, but he didn't have a good camp so he started the season in Hartford. It may have been the best thing for Kreider because he humbly went to the minors and, unlike last season, played well. He had four points and 16 shots on goal in six games.
Kreider has built on that success with the Rangers. It was most evident on Nov. 30, when Tortorella returned to the Garden with the Vancouver Canucks and watched as Kreider recorded his first NHL hat trick.
Maatta made the opening-night lineup, but it was supposed to be an experiment. The thought was the Penguins would keep him around for nine games, see how he did, and return him to his junior team, the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League, if he was in over his head.
Maatta forced the Penguins to keep him beyond the nine games because, as coach Dan Bylsma said at the time, "he's given us the best chance to win hockey games."
Nothing has changed. In fact, Maatta has only gotten better and more comfortable, so much so that Bylsma moved him up to play with Kris Letang before the rash of injuries gave Maatta the opportunity to show he can effectively handle more than 20 minutes of ice time no matter who he plays with or against.
He's played more than 21 minutes in four of the past six games. He played more than 19 minutes in each of the other two games. His possession numbers show that he's been better when skating with the Penguins' bottom-six group of forwards, but Maatta is only now getting a consistent opportunity to play with Pittsburgh's top players so that could change.
"It's one thing to understand how to play, it's an entirely different thing to understand how your skills and experiences integrate with the game," Button said. "He understands both those parts so well. He played a lot of big minutes in a lot of big games in London. He understands the demands of playing a lot. He's a godsend to the Pittsburgh Penguins, quite frankly."
Button said Maatta reminds him of Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh because he's smart, can move the puck efficiently and will jump into the attack when the time is right.
"You're not going to put him into the star category, but you're going to put him into the exceptionally good category," Button said. "A lot of times people talk about limitations and say, 'Know your limitations.' I think you reverse it on Olli Maatta, he knows his capabilities."
Maatta is big too. He's 6-foot-2, 206 pounds, but he doesn't play a rugged, physical game. He's more about positioning and his size helps him hold his ground.
"The other thing about Olli is he's a tenacious, determined player," Button said. "He doesn't give up on the play. Guys like him are no fun to play against because you think you got him beat and he's still there. You're like, 'Oh come on, I just shook you off,' but there he is again. They're annoying."
Maatta has had a bigger impact because his play in the defensive end has translated into mostly positive results while Kreider's contributions offensively, while noteworthy and impressive, have waned this month.
Pittsburgh entered play Tuesday fourth in the NHL in goals-against per game (2.14) and fourth in shots-against per game (26.9). Maatta has been good in his own zone and has helped the Penguins transition into offense so their star players can get on the ice in scoring situations. He's playing a bigger role now and has not had any drop in his play.
Kreider has two goals and no assists in seven games since recording his hat trick against the Canucks. The Rangers are 2-4-1 in those games.

text: It is with shock and great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved Russ at the age of 52. Russ was the son of Red Sanford and Louise Sanford Sluss, father of Caroline, Shane and Savannah Sanford, partner to Liz Morgan, former husband to Jeanne Sanford who brought her beautiful girls, Noelle and Hailey, into Russ's life, former husband of Katherine Sanford, brother to Kristy (Chris) Das, stepson to Cathy Sanford and Jack Sluss, stepbrother to Mark Sluss, Ryan Arnold and Kay McConnell, and "Uncle Russ" to the many nieces and nephews in this loving family. Russ was an instant friend to everyone he met. He was a connector of people and took a genuine interest in everyone who came into his life. Everyone who met him recognized that he had "something special". Russ was an avid fisherman, tennis player, golfer, jokester, lover, hockey fan, football enthusiast, life of the party, reader of 1000s of books (mostly in the bathtub, where he could relax for hours), the "master of ceremonies" wherever he went. Russ would walk into any party and immediately have a crowd of people around him, laughing at the jokes he always kept handy in his brilliant mind. His greatest joy was to be with his children, the loves of his life.Russ's college days started at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. His brothers in the Sigma Chi fraternity remained some of his closest friends throughout his life. Russ was a skilled attorney, and when he ventured into the area of real estate development, he found another passion, and threw himself into it completely.This special man will be missed more than can possibly be expressed here. He was respected and loved by most, and will never be forgotten by anyone.A celebration of Russ's life will be held on Sunday, August 29th at 4:00pm at First Presbyterian Church, 531 So. College. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the "Children of Russ Sanford Fund" in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 650 W. Drake Rd., Fort Collins, CO 80525. We love you and will miss you dearly, Russ.Say hi to Mom and Dad, and be at peace now.

So far, Utah Highway Patrol deputies do not know why a Mazda driven by 29-year-old Kallie Nelson, of Henefer, veered across the Interstate 80 median near Echo on Saturday afternoon.
Nelson was traveling eastbound and struck an westbound Mercury SUV driven by Judith Nethercott, age 65, of Riverton, Wyoming. Both women were killed in the accident. There were no passengers in either car. The wreck snarled westbound traffic for over an hour while emergency personnel cleared the vehicles off the highway.
Nethercott worked in the financial aid office at Central Wyoming College.
Kallie Nelson worked as a dental assistant in Coalville where a coworker said, "She was a sweetheart to everyone. She is loved and missed."
Kallie was married to Colt Nelson and the mother of two boys, ages five and nine. On Monday, Colt Nelson said the family was still finalizing funeral arrangements.

June 4, 2013
STANFORD, Calif.- For the second straight year, junior Nicole Gibbs has been named the recipient of the Honda Sports Award for tennis. Her selection by the Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA) program recognizes Gibbs as the country's top female player in her sport.
The CWSA presents the Honda Sports Award annually to top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports. With this honor, Gibbs becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the 2013 Honda Cup, which will be presented live on June 24 (ESPNU) at USC's Galen Center Founders Room in Los Angeles.
Gibbs was chosen for the Honda Sports Award by a vote among more than 1,000 institutions based on NCAA finish and ITA overall ranking.
An All-American in singles during each of her first three seasons, Gibbs collected her fourth career singles title when she became the NCAA's first repeat champion since former Cardinal standout Amber Liu (2003-04) and Stanford's 16th all-time collegiate singles winner (14 NCAA, 2 AIAW) overall.
Gibbs, who also joined Linda Gates as only Cardinal players to claim an NCAA team, singles and doubles crown in career, is the fifth Stanford netter to win multiple NCAA singles titles, joining Patty Fendick-McCain (1986, 87), Sandra Birch (1989, 91), Laura Granville (2000, 01) and Amber Liu (2003, 04).
The first player to capture NCAA team and singles titles in the same year since Duke's Mallory Cecil (2009), Gibbs finished 24-4 overall and 17-4 in duals, playing all of her matches at the No. 1 position. In addition to closing out the year on a 14-match winning streak, Gibbs was 17-4 against nationally-ranked opponents and improved her career record in May to 30-1 (includes NCAA team and individual competition).
A native of Santa Monica, Calif., Gibbs earned all-conference recognition for the third consecutive year and was tabbed an NCAA All-Tournament Team selection (No. 1 singles). She was equally impressive in the classroom, receiving Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention accolades while sporting a 3.44 GPA as an economics major.
Gibbs, who earlier this spring publicly voiced her decision to turn pro and forego her senior year, is joined by an impressive roster of 2013 Honda Cup finalists: Iowa State's Betsy Saina (cross country), Princeton's Katie Reinprecht (field hockey), North Carolina's Crystal Dunn (soccer), Oregon's Alaina Bergsma (volleyball), Georgia's Allison Schmitt (swimming & diving), Delaware's Elena Delle Donne (basketball), Florida's Bridget Sloan (gymnastics), USC's Annie Park (golf), Purdue's Andrea "Drey" Mingo (2013 Honda Inspiration Winner), and winners yet to be named in lacrosse, track and field, and softball.
The CWSA has honored the nation's top NCAA women athletes for 37 years, recognizing superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. Since commencing its sponsorship in 1986, Honda has provided more than $2.5 million in institutional grants to the universities of the award winners and nominees to support women's athletics programs at the institutions. Previous Honda Cup winners include Brittney Griner, Ann Meyers Drysdale, Lisa Fernandez, Misty May-Treanor, Maya Moore and Candace Parker.

One of the hidden gems of the East Village area, Alba Restaurant adds a unique and chic personality to the whole neighborhood. The other night I was invited out with my parents and their friends. Of course I was initially going to politely decline, but then I thought 'what the heck' especially since they were headed to a place they've been raving about for months.
Alba Restaurant on east 6th just off Grand Avenue, has apparently been around for quite some time now- inhabiting a spot that used to be a car dealership, then a florist. Owner and head chef Jason Simon moved here from the tiny town of Parkersburg, and he put a lot of work into that old building.
Jason and the staff at Alba really know what they're doing. Barwise, the wine selection is vast and fabulous with both reds and whites by the glass or bottle. They have a very unique dispensing machine that keeps the wine fresh and fragrant. Their wide array of high end liquor is nothing to sneeze at, especially when expertly mixed by Alba's bartenders. Try their pomegranate martini... it's fantastic. Templeton Rye lovers can also find a great cocktail here.
Since I'm spoiled, I skipped the dining area and sat at the chef's table. Having a front row seat and watching the cooks do their thing is great. Almost everything they cook is in a skillet, and on a busy night, that small kitchen area is bustling with activity. I loved the occasional burst of heat from a flame warming the side of my face.
The menu is very fresh, and constantly changing to take advantage of the season's best available ingredients. You'll find lots of old favorites served with a contemporary gourmet flare- and I'm not talking about the TGI Friday's kind of flare- although Alba does have cool old wooden doors suspended from the ceiling.
Don't get me wrong, even though I went with my parents, there were more people around their 20's 30's and 40's. If you're looking for a semi-fancy place where you can let your hair down and enjoy a great meal and drink, this is definitely the place. A great choice for a romantic Valentine's Day date. Just be sure to call ahead if you wanna sit at the coveted chef's table!

Intrinsic Value – An Inexact Science
As we have discussed, a value investor has a deep-rooted belief that irrationality of market participants can and does lead to unusual, and sometimes extreme, variations in the price of a stock in either direction. Such divergence from true "intrinsic value" creates valuable opportunities for the value investor – the caveat being: what, exactly is intrinsic value? To take one definition, as stated by no less an investor than Warren Buffett, intrinsic value is "the discounted value of the cash that can be taken out of a business during its remaining life."
It's important for the value investor not to attempt to calculate an exact value; rather it is far better to calculate a range for intrinsic value, from consideration of past fundamental data such as cash flow, earnings and future projected growth rates. The calculated intrinsic value may be wildly different from the company's market price. For some industries and companies, calculation of a reliable intrinsic value will be well nigh impossible – in particular early stage firms, and firms in rapidly changing industries with rampant speculation and uncertainty. It would be as well to give these a miss altogether.
Fortunately for us, Ben Graham provided a simple and effective formula for calculating intrinsic value which he outlines in Chapter 11 of The Intelligent Investor (a chapter which provides an excellent thesis on valuation), under the heading "Capitalization Rates for Growth Stocks. It's this formula that we use in our intrinsic value stock screen.
Graham stated "the ideal form of common-stock analysis leads to a valuation of the issue which can be compared with the current price to determine whether or not the security is an attractive purchase. This valuation, in turn, would ordinarily be found by estimating the average earnings over a period of years in the future and then multiplying that estimate by an appropriate capitalization factor." Graham was also careful to list the factors which affect the capitalization rate of a company – general long-term prospects, management, financial strength/capital structure, dividend record, and current dividend rate.
The aforementioned intrinsic value formula was intended by Graham "to produce figures fairly close to those resulting from the more refined mathematical calculations" or "approximated the results of the more elaborate calculations in vogue" and is stated as:
Value = Current (Normal) Earnings x (8.5 plus twice the expected annual growth rate)
With the growth figure being that expected over the next seven to ten years.

HONG KONG: Infiniti announces new system for model names
By Glenn Brooks | 18 December 2012
Nissan's Hong Kong-based Infiniti division has announced a new system of model names to be applied from 2013.
The new conventions will apply from North America's 2014 model year, with existing models renamed to reflect their ranking within the brand's line-up. In addition, the replacement for today's G Sedan will be launched as the Infiniti Q50.
Each vehicle will be prefixed either by Q – for sedans, coupes and convertibles, or QX, for crossover and SUV models. Each model will be further identified by a double digit representing hierarchy within the range. The new line-up will be as follows:
- Q50 (global debut at 2013 Detroit motor show)
- Q60 (succeeds the G Coupe & Convertible)
- Q70 (formerly M Sedan)
- QX50 (formerly EX)
- QX60 (formerly JX)
- QX70 (formerly FX)
- QX80 (formerly QX)
Commenting on the revised naming philosophy, Johan de Nysschen, President of Infiniti Motor Company Limited, said: "Over the past few months, we have talked at length with our retailers, our customers, and our business partners about our brand. The need for a new identity and direction to promote consumer familiarity with our model range as we expand the portfolio became evident. To achieve this, we clearly needed a simple and consistent nomenclature framework. After exhaustive research and evaluation, we concluded that 'Q' captured the inspiration within the next generation of Infiniti models, as well as emphasising our performance credentials while harking back to our heritage with the Q45 – Infiniti's first iconic flagship product in 1989."
Infiniti's new nomenclature strategy will be implemented in logical stages within the existing product range, as 2014 model year variants are introduced.
As for the forthcoming C-segment model for European markets, this will logically be badged 'Q30' or 'Q40'. This model, due in 2015, will use the Mercedes-Benz MFA platform (A-Class, B-Class, CLA-Class).

Judge strikes down Kentucky's gay marriage ban
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A federal judge in Kentucky struck down the state's ban on gay marriage on Tuesday, though the ruling was put on hold pending appeals and it was not immediately clear when same-sex couples could be issued marriage licenses.
The ruling was the latest in a string of victories for gay marriage advocates across the nation.
> RELATED: Read below to get an update on gay marriage rulings across the U.S.
U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn in Louisville concluded that the state's prohibition on same-sex couples being wed violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution by treating gay couples differently than straight couples.
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear said the state will appeal.
Heyburn previously struck down Kentucky's ban on recognizing same-sex marriages from other states and countries, but he put the implementation of that ruling on hold. The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati has scheduled arguments on similar rulings from Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Tennessee in a single session on Aug. 6.
"Sometimes, by upholding equal rights for a few, courts necessarily must require others to forebear some prior conduct or restrain some personal instinct," Heyburn wrote. "Here, that would not seem to be the case. Assuring equal protection for same-sex couples does not diminish the freedom of others to any degree."
Heyburn noted that every federal court to consider a same-sex marriage ban has found it unconstitutional. Gay rights activists have won 18 cases in federal and state courts since the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2013 struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. During that time, only Judge Paul J. Kelly Jr. of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver has argued for keeping a state ban on same-sex marriages.
A total of 13 gay marriage cases are pending in state and federal appeals courts. Those rulings all are on hold pending appellate court decisions.
Also on Tuesday, six couples sued to overturn Colorado's gay marriage ban, a move that comes as the Republican attorney general urged Boulder officials to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Elsewhere, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago ordered Indiana to recognize the marriage of a lesbian couple, one of whom is terminally ill, on an emergency basis.
The lead plaintiff in the Kentucky case, Timothy Love, 55, of Louisville, said he was "ecstatic" about the decision and hopes to be able to marry his partner of 34 years, Larry Ysunza, once all the appeals are complete.
"We wanted to see the entire ban struck down," Love said. "Now, the headline is `Love Wins.'"
Dan Canon, one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs, said he was excited about the ruling because the day will arrive soon when same-sex couples can get a marriage license in Kentucky.
"We believe the opinion forcefully lays to rest any notion that Kentucky's anti-marriage laws are based on anything other than discrimination against homosexuals," Canon said.
In support of the ban, Beshear argued in part that Kentucky's prohibition encouraged, promoted and supported relationships among people who have the "natural ability to procreate." A stable birth rate ensures the state's long-term economic stability, Beshear argued in court records.
Heyburn, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, dismissed the governor's argument because excluding same-sex couples from marriage does not change the number of heterosexual couples who choose to marry and have children.
"These arguments are not those of serious people," Heyburn wrote.
Martin Cothran, a senior policy analyst with the Family Foundation of Kentucky, said Heyburn "has declared martial law on marriage policy" in Kentucky.
"By taking another important area of policy out of the hands of voters, liberal judges have struck another blow against the separation of powers that is an underlying principle of our form of government," Cothran said.
Evan Wolfson, founder of Freedom to Marry, a group backing same-sex marriage, said the ruling shows the public is ready to remove the legal bans put in place in many states.
"It is wrong for the government to deny same-sex couples the freedom to marry the person they love; a freedom that is part of every American's liberty and pursuit of happiness," Wolfson said.
Gay marriage is legal in 19 states and the District of Columbia.
After Tuesday's ruling, expectations are higher than ever that the U.S. Supreme Court eventually will decide gays can marry in every state.
Here are some key things to know about the gay marriage movement and where it's headed:
Besides Kentucky, federal and state judges have ruled against bans in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Indiana. They have ordered Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee to recognize same-sex marriages from other states.
The Supreme Court last year found that the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that forbade the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriage improperly deprived gay couples of due process. That ruling came as polls showed a majority of Americans now support gay marriage.
Lower-court judges have repeatedly cited that Supreme Court decision when striking down same-sex marriage bans.
Legal experts say the Supreme Court eventually will take a gay marriage case after one or more appeals court rulings, but that won't happen until 2015 at the earliest. And the high court is under no obligation to take up the issue.
In any of the appellate cases, the losing party can appeal directly to the Supreme Court, or first ask for the entire appellate court to review the ruling.
It's unclear which case would reach the high court first. The Supreme Court also could hold off and see how the nation's appellate courts rule. It often waits until there is a conflict between appellate courts before taking a case.

125th Birthday Celebration
November 30, 2013 will mark what would be the 125th birthday of R.G. LeTourneau, the world famous inventor, entrepreneur and philanthropist dubbed 'God's businessman.' He is also the founder of LeTourneau University.
Mr. LeTourneau founded LeTourneau University, with his wife, Evelyn, in 1946. As humble stewards of his legacy, we view this occasion as an ideal time to pause and reflect upon not only the incredible achievements of our founder, but also his fervent commitment to honoring Christ through his work.
Mr. LeTourneau was passionate about his faith. He was an inspiration in work ethic. He embodied the same spirit of ingenuity and exploration that carries on in every one of our students and alumni today. And we as an institution are dedicated to living out his legacy.
R.G. was a man who moved both the hearts of men as well as mountains, ever seeking God's best. His life's verse was Matthew 6:33: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."

U-Haul Prices as Migration Indicator
Austin fared very well on this year's Best Cities Rankings, and here's another interesting indicator of the difference in migration between Austin and San Francisco:
"When comparing California with Texas, U-Haul says it all. To rent a 26-foot truck oneway from San Francisco to Austin, the charge is $3,236, and yet the one-way charge for that same truck from Austin to San Francisco is just $399. Clearly what is happening is that far more people want to move from San Francisco to Austin than vice versa, so U-Haul has to pay its own employees to drive the empty trucks back from Texas." read more »

The S In S&P Stands For...

Shit & Poo 500. Like Nascar with skid marks everywhere.
Nope... Siesmograph! The Brits have already nailed this one down... no need to worry... they assure us it's distant! (Probably across the pond... whatever that means...)
Well, at least there was no run up in the REITs and the retailers during the last hour of trading...
Where's Harry?
Buying ahead of the 10AM and Noon news, apparently.
His margin got called and he had to report for his new shift at the 7-11
From King of the Hill to King of the Slushies in one day. That's gonna leave a mark.
Yeah, his minimum e-brokerage requirement got wiped the fucked out what with all the margin calls and him not hedging his madness[100% long, 100% of the time]. The dude loaded up on GS after GS lost 2000 bips in one day and went long, just to lose another 1000+ bips after the hearings. And he loaded up on AAPL after AAPL issued its 10Q report and bought a chunk of AAPL shares bidding 270 p/s. That calculates to a 38% loss on just two trades, and im not counting his positions in ETFs and Indexes or any other derivatives. The dude got his ass handed to him.
Hopefully he will get pistol whipped in a robbery attempt!
Hulk, you've been in rare form the past week or so. New vitamin? I know the still isn't up and running.....yet.
Ya ya. All those big green grimacing guys always claim they aren't juicing. But why are they green and why are they grimacing. Huh why? It's a hangover. LOL
In fairness to Harry, he called out support at 1170-1175, and it closed at 1173.
Yeah, but he was adjusting is "can't go lower than this" number in real-time. It started at 1200, went down to 1180 or something, and eventually landed at 1170. I can make great predictions too if you let me change my guess every five minutes.
He also said S&P "shall not pass" 1181 aka. "maximum pain level".
What a fucking douche that guy is, even if he is a troll.
ZH is 100% macro-economic, geopolitical, big narratives site not some stock peddling, pumo-and-dump scheming bulletin board.
Lol. So much for "rock solid" support of 1175. It became rock soild resistence 10 mins from the close.
[carry traders to be carted off trading desks in body bags]
Deathbed humor at the end of the empire. Only at ZH.
What I find interesting is that there are number of issues that posted double digit gain and all of those have high short float. Someone was losing $ in both directions.
Love the smell of blood late afternoon. : (
Seems if you are going to hint at an invisible hand on the upside hard to ignore it on down days
There is no "invisible" hand on the down days, it's perfectly visible. See the green volume spikes every down day? It's only invisible on the no volume up days.
Now this is what I call a post I can believe in. I have awoken. I'm listening.
Does this mean the heads and shoulders formation has now been confirmed? Looks like it to me, regardless of what happens tomorrow. Of course, the rabbit still has a few more tricks up his sleeve.
Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.
Yes, but the lowest I would see it going is to the 200 dma which convenientely works out to a 10% correction.
Copy that CD... head and shoulders confirmed!
So what's the next direction... up or down? (Sideways apparently is not an option...)
You had me laughing out loud all afternoon. Every time I thought about your prototype Fedco ZIRP (TM) blowout protector (BOP) you were fabricating for BP and "for the kids" I would bust out laughing. One of the funniest things you have ever come up with. And that's saying a lot. Put me on your "suckers to purchase 10 or more" list. :>)
No mind telling you all, I am shit scared.
You see the thing is... the future is not going to be much different then the stock market. You see you jump from stock to stock now to find safety, in the future you have to use those skills to jump from foxhole to foxhole, hoping you picked the right one.
The only thing you can do is explain to your children the end result of using the equation. There is nothing that can be done, and there was nothing that could be done since probably before you were ever born.
If nukes are not used, you we will probably avoid the path of the dinosaur for now.
Please, please say that you have not been buying lately. And most hopefully not on margin.
Dont worry, there wont be any global wars, mass global genocides or anything like that. This was all planned, and the plan is going accordingly. The ultimate goal is the New World Order aka Anglo-American Empire aka Grand Global Unification. Much of European sovereignty was taken away when EU formed EMU and set multi-national laws with no respect to the countries in which the laws will be applied. The next step will be mass inflation in the USA. And then the IMF will introduce a one world currency (SDR). The West will be united by the same scheme Europe was united with and exchange of goods and services will flow between the USA and Europe until China is finally broken and forced to enter the aforementioned joint currency. The small countries will follow. Then the cycle will be repeated, but there wont be any defaults or sovereign bankruptcies a la Argentina and [99% probability] Greece. The presiding country will be the USA and it will rule the province just like Rome once did. It may look like at the present like Dionysus is winning and that Apollo is mortally wounded, but the underlying law of the Universe is that it tends toward ultimate equilibrium. Some call it cause and effect, karma etc, but it is the only undeniable truth separated from both space, time and event. So worry not, if they want Utopia, they shall have it. For how long i dont know, but they shall have it; that much i can guarantee you. Certainly it will be a system in which [if i survive long enough] humanity will disgust me more than it does now, a system in which mindless, stupid 99.99% of the population will not exist but react like lower forms of bacteria react when exposed to suns illumination, in which self control within the individual will be a taboo since it means putting an end to many many of your desires. The world will not end, it will just sink lower into the lowest pits of disgust and savagery some call consumer society/West. Some will call it heaven, some will call it hell. Me, I have read Dante, i know what will be and if this illness passes me i will not witness it; i have been in control of my life, i shall be in control of my death.
"We win!" Screamed the eugenicists. Then peak oil handed them their sorry asses....
i know what will be and if this illness passes me i will not witness it; i have been in control of my life, i shall be in control of my death
Harry Warbanger will talk you down, look for him. He is EVERYWHERE.
I will say the Friday sell off had a different feel to it. It sort of rolled thru the day and chewed up dip buyers slowly but surely. To me that was a tell of a harder move to come, which is easy to say in hindsight I guess. All part of a historic topping process.
I continue to short VIX through October puts and short SPY put spreads as well (bullish position).
If the 50ma breaks, we can trade down to the 1120 level (50% retracement). If that breaks, then we have the 200sma at 1093.
I continue to be slightly bullish because there is a huge (350k+) amount of puts at these levels on the SPY. I still believe we can ramp back towards the 1220 level before May OpEx. We've essentially had a 5% pull back from the 1220 highs. The dip can now be bought and put premium will be burnt.
Wow. Go for it.
You have to stay pretty nimble (as Art Cashin would say!) I agree, we're not going straight down from here. I would think another 20 or so points down over a couple of days, then a rebound back up around the 20dma. Then we'll get a better read of where the summer's going. I lean towards down because of reality, but wouldn't put it past TPTB to get one more run-up in, just to screw over all the too-early bears and trap a bunch more bulls.
Could be.
The technology sector is going to have a great Q2. July earnings season will be the earliest that semiconductors wake up to the fact that as a sector they add up to 200% market share. Could last up to 1 quarter more.
It is very, very tight supply chain right now. Beware double orders and inventory builds. That will add fuel to the (downturn) fire as stimulus wears off and other macro events cause uncertainty in the economy.
Uncle Ben has already been shown to be "a big fat liar," too. He's larding up on the MBS's in anticipation of a Greek default. In other words, "be fearful when other's are greedy, be greedy when others are fearful" is still being backstopped by the Feds.
I give up.....
If all would sell in May and go away it would make sense. Seriously who is holding into this market? Think youre going to get rich off it? Dont you have something better to do? Take your profits take a vacation, come back for the Santa Clause rally if you dont know how to short. This market is bad cinema.
Silly Politicians
silly silly politicians.
Either way.

14:32, UK, Wednesday 04 April 2012
Sainsbury's has been criticised by the advertising watchdog, which said the supermarket's 'Feed Your Family For £50' campaign was misleading.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the meal plans did not include enough calories and ingredients to feed a family of four.
It criticised Sainsbury's for not making it clear that extra snacks and cooking items would have to be bought separately.
Launched last May, the Feed Your Family For £50 campaign said: "Sainsbury's will provide everything a family shopper will need, starting with a list of ingredients and menu cards for a family of 4 for seven days: 84 meals, including a Sunday roast."
The supermarket chain's television, online and print adverts attracted seven complaints over the meal deal.
Two of the complainants suggested that the plans were not suitable for children under four years old while another claimed the campaign condoned poor nutritional habits in children.
Sainsbury's said the overall message never included drinks or snacks and the terms and conditions clearly stated that the meal plans were devised to provide at least 75% of the recommended daily calories for a UK adult.
It added that children under four had differing nutritional needs to older children and, because of this, the terms and conditions of the £50 meal planner website clearly stated that the plans as written were not designed for toddlers.
Upholding the complaints, the ASA said although the retailer had structured the meal plans responsibly in terms of calorific guidance, the ads were misleading for claiming that readers could meet all their food needs for £50 a week.
It also concluded that many customers would have to spend more than £50 to obtain all the ingredients necessary for the meal plans, and that they were suitable for children under four years of age when this was not the case.
However, it did not find that the campaign condoned or encouraged poor nutritional habits in children.
The ASA said: "We told Sainsbury's to ensure that ads featuring meal plans explained how the calorific content of those plans had been calculated and made clear if they were not designed to meet all calorie requirements.
"We told Sainsbury's to ensure that headline prices for meal plans included any integral store cupboard ingredients, unless they held evidence that most or all customers would already have those ingredients at home."
A Sainsbury's spokesman said: "We are surprised and disappointed that the ASA has come to this judgment as it does not reflect the feedback we have had from our customers.
"We worked closely with independent experts and still believe that our meal plans provide nutritious and tasty family meals in a cost-effective way."

Spinner, the reigning Pac-12 Specialist of the Year and Pac-12 co-champion on beam, picked up right where she left off and delivered a 9.850 at the NorCal Quad Meet at Sacramento State to tie for the individual title on the event.
Stanford won the season-opening meet, defeating California, Sacramento State, UC Davis and San Jose State.
Spinner's clutch performance in the anchor position was especially important considering the gymnast before her had a fall. By hitting her routine and recording Stanford's highest score on the event, Spinner helped give Stanford an early lead and eventually win the competition.
Spinner has hit 100 percent of her collegiate routines dating back to Feb. 12, 2012.
California's Alicia Asturias and Charlie Owens were named Gymnast of the Week and Newcomer of the Week, respectively.
Stanford plays host to No. 8 Georgia this Sunday at 2 p.m. in Maples Pavilion. Admission is free.

Jan. 6, 2012
STANFORD, Calif. - Coming off a 10th-place finish in the NCAA championships, the Stanford fencing team looks to capitalize on experience and a strong recruiting class to reach the 2012 NCAA fencing final four. The team is confident in its ability to improve on last year's finish and perform well in Columbus, Ohio, in late March.
"We have a great recruiting class coming in and some outstanding veterans returning," said head coach Lisa Milgram. "Finishing in the top ten last season was nice, but we are focused on the final four this year."
Women's Epee: With Francesca Bassa taking a year off to train for the 2012 Olympics, Rebecca Chung will transfer from the women's foil squad to compete in women's epee for the first time. She will be joined by freshman Katya Stavisky and Ashley Titan.
Women's Sabre: The women's sabre squad will be anchored by Suraya Omar. Former walk-on Atira Richards and freshman Julia Klepner will join Omar.
Women's Foil: Freshman Lily McElwee joins the team and Milgram expects her to compete at a high level right away. "Lily has the talent to advance to the NCAA individual championships, I have no doubt about that," said Milgram. She will be joined by Meaghan Conway and Amanda Zerbe on the women's foil squad.
Men's Epee: Led by captain Kevin Mo and 2011 NCAA All-American Kian Ameli, the men's epee squad is deep and talented. Cole Connelly, Jake Harbour and Paul Riviere round out the group.
Men's Sabre: Freshman Cameron Lindsay arrives with high expectations. "Cameron has everything it takes to lead our men's sabre squad this season," said Milgram. "He has a chance to have a great season and really contribute to our team's success." Lindsay is joined by Jeremy Klepner and Daniel McHugh.
Men's Foil: Turner Caldwell and freshman Jonathan Lee anchor the men's foil squad. Caldwell, a second-team All-American in 2011, finished seventh at last season's NCAA championships. They will be joined by Reed Jobs, Alex Khoshnevissan, Christopher Khoshnevissan, Isaac Madan, graduate student Andrew Scheuermann and Alexander Stadnyk.
The Cardinal will compete in its first tournament at the Western Invitational at the United States Air Force Academy on Saturday.

Passion and commitment in the works
Marie-Claude Julsaint, Programme Director for the Americas and the Caribbean at the World YWCA, and a native Haitian, was recently interviewed on her work with YWCA Haiti and the situation in the country, six months after the devastating earthquake which shook the island and its population.
As Programme Director, Marie-Claude assists member associations in the region to build their capacity to respond to the needs of women and girls in their communities, based on the global movement's strategic directions adopted at World Council 2007, as well as regional strategies adopted at Regional Training Institutes (RTIs).
YWCAs are assisted programmatically and/or financially. They are provided with technical support and advice, as well as through advocacy at global level to call for the inclusion and participation of women at country level in their response to natural disasters – such as the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Six months after the earthquake, the situation remains challenging and preoccupying. There is an increase in displaced people and a large proportion of the population – including women and children - still lives in the camps despite the fact that the rainy season has begun. The sexual violence and underreported rape cases in the camps, due to the bleak conditions as well as the women's vulnerability owing to lack of safety and security, is of great concern. Many emergency humanitarian agencies have already left, although the country remains in an emergency and transitional phase; Unemployment is on the rise; certain schools reopened in April but many parents cannot afford fees and schools cannot pay teachers.
It is important that the general population, and women, including poor women, participate in the post-earthquake response and the reconstruction of their country, but, to date, they have been excluded from taking leadership in the relief efforts and in the decision-making process which directly impacts their lives.
The World YWCA was, however, pleased to share some recent good news from YWCA Haiti: the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) and the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church have contributed towards YWCA Haiti's Youth Centre. In addition, Marie-Claude managed to connect Tierra Incognita - a civil society association based in Geneva - with YWCA Haiti. At the end of this month and early August, Tierra Incognita will facilitate, together with local partners in Haiti, two four-day leadership workshops for women. YWCA Haiti will offer their Youth Centre as a venue for special children's activities, with the participation of internationally-renowned Haitian artist and story-teller Mimi Barthelemy.
The World YWCA has been giving ongoing support to YWCA Haiti, with the help of generous contributions made by YWCAs worldwide in response to the earthquake. Assistance has been provided in nurturing existing partnerships and developing new ones both locally and globally, and by offering technical and programme support to the association's Youth Centre.
Help Haitian women and girls go beyond the emergency - you can still contribute. The World YWCA is raising funds to rebuild the lives in the long term by supporting the efforts of our developing YWCA in Haiti. Please consider giving online today at http://www.worldywca.net/donate/index.php and designating in your donation 'Haiti response'.

WELLINGS, George Edward (37, clerk) , forging and uttering, knowing the same to be forged, a certain valuable security, to wit, a bankers' cheque and order for the payment of £900, with intent to defraud; attempting to obtain by false pretences from Barclay and Company, Limited, £900, with intent to defraud.
Mr. Rooth prosecuted; Mr. Martin O'Connor defended.
WALTER HIBBERT , clerk in Barclay's Bank, Lombard Street. On Saturday, December 11, a messenger boy came to the bank and presented a letter. We keep an account for G. Cunard, Thorpe Lupenham, Market Harborough. The heading of the letter paper appeared to be the same as Mr. Cunard's and the writing was a very good imitation of his. I had not the least suspicion of it being a forgery. It was dated 7/11/1909: "Messrs. Barclay and Co., Limited. Please send by bearer a cheque-book to order containing 30 cheques and debit G. Cunard. I cannot call, as the time is so short between my arrival and leaving for Hampshire." In the belief that the signature was Mr. Cunard's I enclosed the cheque-book in an envelope with a memorandum asking Mr. Cunard to be good enough to acknowledge the receipt of it. As near as I can fix it, this was somewhere between half-past eleven and twelve o'clock. I addressed the envelope to "Gordon Cunard, Esq., St. Pancras Station." The boy having told me he was waiting there. I marked the envelope with the number of the messenger-boy, 1245, and the numbers of the cheques, 006031—60. The boy went away, and on the following Monday I received an acknowledgment dated from the "Carlton" Hotel, signed "G. Cunard."
ARTHUR CORNISH , cashier, Barclay's Bank, Lombard Street. The bank opens at nine and on Monday, December 13, about half-past 10, the cheque produced was peresented for payment over he counter by prisoner. It is an open cheque for £900 purporting to be drawn by our customer, G. Cunard, payable to "G. Hunt, Esq." and endorsed "G. Hunt."
The number of the cheque is 006034, the fourth cheque in the book sent to Mr. Cunard. I asked prisoner how he would take the money, and he said six £100 notes, five £50 notes, and £50 in gold. I put those figures on the back of the cheque. I did not give him the money. I first of all ascertained that the money was on the gentleman's account. Then I asked the man who looked up that if he thought the signature was correct. Having ascertained that the money was correct, I referred the signature to the manager. I asked prisoner if he was Mr. G. Hunt. He said he was not. I said, "Our manager would liker to speak to you. Will you follow me?" He followed me round the other side of the counter into the manager's office. I asked him, in the presence of the manager, how long he had been in Mr. Hunt's service. I believe he said about two days. I think he used the words "Since Saturday," and from that I perhaps drew the inference that it would be two days. I asked him how hecame into his employment and he said through an advertisement, but I did not understand in any particular paper. I asked him had he any testimonials about him by which he got his employment, and he said, "No." I then went away, leaving him with the manager, who had been comparing signatures.
Cross-examined. I am absolutely certain that he said he was engaged by Mr. Hunt in some capacity as a servant. I cannot say with certainty when he was engaged, but the belief the conversation
produced in my mind was that he said he was engaged by Mr. Hunt through an advertisement and I believe he mentioned Saturday.
FREDERICK WILLIAM GRIGGS , manager, Lombard Street Branch, Barclay's Bank. In consequence of a communication made to me at about 10.30 a.m. on December 13 I gave certain directions in consequence of which prisoner was brought into my room by the last witness. I was shown the cheque he had presented. I had known Mr. Cunard's signature and the signature on the cheque appeared to be his. I do not remember any conversation between Cornish and prisoner. The letter of request for a cheque-book to be sent was also handed to me, the envelope, and some other documents. I compared the handwriting of the various documents and they all appeared to be in the handwriting of Mr. Cunard. After Cornish had left the room I had some conversation with prisoner. I asked him if he was Mr. Hunt. He replied, "No." I then asked him from whom he obtained the cheque. He said it had been given him that morning by a gentleman who had engaged him as a servant that morning. He told me he had met him in reply to an advertisement in the "Daily Telegraph," which he had inserted. He also said he had met the gentleman in an office in Fleet Street; he did not specify the office to me. The gentleman had engaged him without any reference as to character. I asked him what he was to do with the money, and he said he was to take it back to the "Golden Cross" Hotel and meet the gentleman there. He did not mention the gentleman's name; he did not know it. I presume he would recognise him by his appearance, but that is only my surmise. I communicated by telephone with the police office in Old Jewry and Inspector Thompson appeared shortly afterwards. Prisoner was detained until the arrival of the inspector. We did not charge him immediately, and he went away in company with the inspector.
Cross-examined. Prisoner was quite cool during the time we were speaking to him and displayed no nervous anxiety or desire to get away. He was in the bank half or three-quarters of an hour. I cannot say whether he knew whether we had sent for the police. The telephone is not in my room, but in a separate box close by. I telephoned myself. I did not even request him to wait till the police came. My recollection of the conversation was that he said he was given the cheque that morning by a gentleman who had engaged him, but whose name he did not know. He never suggested the name of any person by whom he was engaged in my hearing. He told me he had met the man who gave him the cheque and asked him to bring it to the bank that morning in Fleet Street. He did not tell me that he met the man at the office of the paper in which he had advertised.
Re-examined. I gave intimation to the messenger at the door not to let prisoner go out. Prisoner was sitting in my office when I went to the telephone.
Detective-Inspector ERNEST THOMPSON, City. On the 13th of last month I was communicated with by last witness a little after 11 o'clock and, in consequence, I went to Barclay's Bank, arriving there at 11.20. I there saw prisoner in Mr. Grigg's office. In consequence
of certain information which had been given to me I put certain questions to the prisoner. I told him I was a police officer and said, "I understand you have just presented this cheque for £900, which is a forgery." Prisoner said, "That is quite true. Shortly after nine o'clock this morning I met a man outside the 'Daily Telegraph' offices in Fleet Street. He said to me, 'Are you looking for a billet?' I replied, 'I am.' He then said, 'Do you know where Barclay's Bank is in Lombard Street?' I replied, 'I do not, but I will soon find out.' He then said, 'Take this cheque to Barclay's Bank and get it changed as it appears on the envelope.' The note on the envelope is "six £100, five £50, £50 gold," making in all £900. Then he said, 'When you get the change jump into a taxi-cab and meet me at the smoking room of the "Golden Cross" Hotel, Charing Cross." In consequence of that I took him to the "Golden Cross" Hotel in a taxi-cab, arriving there about a quarter to 12. We went into both the smoking rooms, one being on the ground floor and the other on the first floor. Prisoner pointed out no one to me and said the gentleman was not there. There were a number of people in both rooms. I subsequently took him to Old Jewry and told him he would be detained while inquiries were made. In consequence of a communication I received from the manager of the "Golden Cross" Hotel in the course of that afternoon I again went with prisoner in a cab to the hotel. A man who was loitering out in the hall was pointed out to prisoner, who said he was not the man who handed him the cheque. Prisoner gave me a description of the man on the way from the bank to the hotel; age about 50, six feet in height, hair and moustache iron grey, and wearing a silk hat and dark overcoat and trousers. The man hanging about in the hall did not answer that description; he was too grey and he was not tall enough. While I was going with prisoner the second time to the hotel I said to him, "Did it not strike you as being very funny that a perfect stranger should trust you with a £900 cheque to get cashed?" He replied, "It did seem very funny to me." Prisoner was afterwards taken to the Minories Police Station, where he was charged by Mr. Hibbert on behalf of the bank with forging and uttering this cheque. He was searched by the gaoler. Nothing was found on him relating to the charge, only a pair of gloves, a pipe, and a pawnticket. A receipt for 3s. for an advertisement and a box number at the "Telegraph" office were handed to me at the bank in the morning. The ticket says "This ticket must be produced on each occasion when application is made for answers." On December 20 I took these two documents to the "Telegraph" office and handed them to an employe and I was handed the postal letter card produced.
GORDON CUNDRD , Thorpe Lupenham, Leicestershire. The letter of request for a cheque-book produced is not in my handwriting nor written by my authority. The signature is something like my writing, but the rest is not. With regard to the letter paper, at first sight I should say it was mine, but I know it is not because I have compared it with my own. My die has been copied and the water mark is not the same as the water mark of the paper I use. It is like the heading
I use, giving my telegraphic address, the address for parcels, and so on, as is usual in country houses. I never entrusted a messenger boy with the letter, nor did I receive a cheque book in reply. I have never stayed at the "Carlton" Hotel, and at this time I was down at Market Harborough. The acknowledgment of the cheque-book was not written by me, but the signature is more like mine than the signature to the letter. The cheque was never written by me nor by my authority. I do not know "Mr. G. Hunt," and to my knowledge I had never seen prisoner till I saw him at the police court.
WILLIAM RAYMOND MITCHELL , clerk in the advertisement department, "Daily Telegraph," produced the original of the advertisement inserted on December 11. The reply was to be sent to "Box G 968," Postal Department. The receipt for 3s. and the box ticket (produced) related to that advertisement. All answers would be to the number given on the box ticket. The advertisement was handed in by a person he could not identify—"Advertiser, good clerk, wants situation any capacity, excellent references; age 35. Box G 968, Postal Department, 'Daily Telegraph,' Fleet Street."
FREDERICK WILLIAM WELLS , Wells, clerk, "Daily Telegraph" office. On December 13 a person called with the box ticket about nine o'clock. I do not remember whether it was a man or a woman. I looked and found that no letters of reply had been put into the box. I returned the document to the person who had produced it. Some days subsequently Inspector Thompson produced the same document. I looked at the box again and found the letter-card (produced), which had arrived on Monday the 13th. The Post Office stamp is "December 11.09, 8.30 p.m." That should have been delivered by the first delivery on Monday morning. The sorting would not be finished so early as nine o'clock. We start sorting about nine a.m.; it sometimes takes three, hours. The card was read as follows: "December 11 1909, G Box 968. With reference to your advertisement in the 'Telegraph' of even date, please meet me in the smoking-room of the 'Golden Cross' Hotel, opposite Charing Cross Station, at 9.45 a.m., on Monday next. Be punctual and hold this card in your hand. Yours truly." The letter bore neither address nor signature.
Inspector THOMPSON, recalled, verified the identity of the letter card by the following note made at the time he received it, "Handed to me by Frederick Wells, clerk of the 'Daily Telegraph,' 20th December, 1909." This was written in the presence of Wells, who signed it.
GEORGE EDWARD WELLINGS (prisoner, on oath). Up to the time of my arrest I was in the Army, in which I had been for 13 years. I left the service last October. I have been marreid some few years and married off the strength. In October last my wife ran away with another man, and I was so affected by it that I deserted from the Army. I served through the South African War in the 1st Royal Dragoons. I went out in 1899 and came home last year. I also
served with the police out there after the war. (Various testimonials from Army and police officers were put to prisoner.) I also served in the Matabele campaign in 1893. I have three medals for military services, one for the South African War with six bars, the King's medal for the South African War with two bars, and one for the Matabele campaign without bars. I inserted the advertisement in the "Daily Telegraph," which has been read, and gave the receipt and box ticket, which have been produced, to the inspector. On December 13, at nine o'clock in the morning, I called at the office of the "Daily Telegraph," asking for any answers to advertisements, and was told there were none. I was turning away from the desk when a man spoke to me. He could have heard my inquiry of the clerk. This man said to me, "Are you in search of a billet?" I said, "Yes." Thereupon he asked me if I knew Barclay's Bank in Lombard Street. I said I did not know it, but I would find it. He then gave me an envelope with the particulars on it as to how the cheque was to be cashed. He said there was a cheque inside and he wanted me to go to the bank and get it changed as he had written on the envelope, and when I had got it changed I was to take a "taxi" and meet him at the smoking-room at the "Golden Cross" Hotel, Charing Cross. I did not look at the cheque until I got to the bank, when I took it out and presented it. I had no idea the cheque had been forged and had nothing to do with the forging of it. I did not ask the man his name; his name was on the cheque. With regard to the evidence of Mr. Griggs and Inspector Thompson, what they say as to the conversation is substantially true. I had never seen the man before in my life. I believed it to be a bona-fide cheque. I have never been charged with any crime of dishonesty.
Cross-examined. I deserted at Brighton. I have no private means. I have been living in London; I have lots of friends in London who have lent me money. I have had no occupation in London. I have never been a clerk. It is not true that I deserted because I was constantly in trouble with the authorities. I have not been in front of an officer since we left South Africa; I have a clean defaulter's sheet. I did not absent myself from my regiment on many occasions in South Africa. I was not detained sometimes on account of having delirium tremens. I never deserted from the army in South Africa. I did not go to a number of hotels out there with another man representing myself to be an officer of the advanced guard. I was not arrested for that, but for absence; we were absent three days and got punished for three days' absence. Since October I have been living at Ham mersmith at 38, Cambridge Road, but not all the time; I have also been living in the Mall. As to whether a man named Charles Wellings, a man called Clark, and a man called Bert Manners visited me at Cambridge Road—Clark I do not know. A man named Stapleton did not call upon me there nor a man named Seaton.
Mr. Rooth. With regard to Wellings and Manners, are they respectable people?
Mr. O'Connor objected to the question.
The Recorder. It goes to the credit of the witness. The suggestion of the prosecution is that this may have been the act of one man or it may have been the act of several men. I cannot exclude the question.
Further cross-examined. As far as I know they were perfectly respectable men. Charles Wellings is my brother. I had not seen him since 1898. I was staying at Cambridge Road with him. I did not know that he had been in trouble. I knew nothing about Manners or Seaton. They came to see my brother. I had never before seen the gentleman who spoke to me outside the "Telegraph" office. I did not even know his name nor the residence at which he lived. I presumed this was the commencement of his taking me into his employment as a servant. He probably would have given me his name and address if I had gone back to him. The evidence given by Mr. Cornish, by Mr. Griggs, and by the detective-inspector accurately describes what took place, with the exception of my having entered the employment on Saturday. I surmised the name of the gentleman who gave me the cheque was Hunt, that being the name on the cheque. I never received the reply to my advertisement. It was the gentleman I met who told me to go to the "Golden Cross" Hotel. I have not the slightest idea from whom the answer to the advertisement came. As to it being a curious coincidence that the same hotel should have been mentioned in the letter card you may put it that way. As to whether I have ever been trusted before with an open cheque of that size, I was entrusted with £100,000 in South Africa to take 80 miles across the country. I was by myself; the Dutchmen knew of it. I naturally thought the cheque had been honestly come by or I should not have taken it. I did not give him my name. I could have done what I liked with the proceeds; he did not accompany me, but, as you suggest, left it to my honour to find him at this hotel.
To the Recorder. The gentleman said nothing to me about having answered my advertisement. He may have heard the number in which I advertised. I was not expecting to receive a letter card when I went in reply to my advertisement. I knew nothing about a letter card being posted on Saturday night. If posted on Saturday night at eight o'clock I might reasonably have expected to receive it at nine o'clock on Monday morning. If the card had been found in my pocket at the bank I could then have produced it and said I called in response to the answer to this advertisement. I cannot explain how it is that the man I met told me to meet him in the smoking room of the "Golden Cross" Hotel, and the writer of the card in reply to my advertisement on the Saturday also requests me to meet him at the "Golden Cross" Hotel. It is a curious coincidence.
Verdict, Not guilty of forging but Guilty of uttering, and the Jury recommended prisoner to mercy on account of his good character.
Mr. Rooth stated that prisoner's brother, Charles Wellings, is now awaiting trial with three other persons on a precisely similar charge. Prisoner's character in the army had not been good, there being seven convictions for drunkenness and two for absenting. Prisoner had been twice detained in the Military Hospital suffering from delirium
tremens. He deserted with another soldier and travelled through the country representing himself to be an officer.
The Recorder said he thought they need not trouble about that. As prisoner had three medals and eight clasps he could not have been such a very bad soldier.
Mr. Booth said he had further information as to which he did not know whether it would be for or against prisoner. He was at a public school and was well educated.
Sentence, Nine months' hard labour.
