Skill Level Beginner
Optimization is a very important step with any web site or any web content for that matter. We want to make sure our content looks really good and is as small as possible, and that's what I want to do here. I want to go ahead and optimize this site, but first I need to check and see how large it is and figure out which files or which graphics are the largest in it. So, I'm going to go to my Publish Settings and I'm going to click on the Flash tab and from there, this is where most of my optimization happens, but what I want to do first off is I want to generate a size report to see how large everything is and just see what is included in this file.
So, I'm going to go ahead and select Generate size report and I can click OK. Now, anytime I do a Test Movie, what happens is in my Output panel, you can see this size report. This is also a TXT file that I get to put in the same folder as my SWF file, but in here you can see this is my index.swf Movie Report, some of them metadata, which is what this is here, that gets included, and then I can start to analyze the rest of this.
So, you can see that plenty of things are going on in Frame 2. In here, I can start to see sort of the different frames as well and their file sizes. So, about every 20 frames I see this larger hit and what those are are the different sections. So, I really want to scroll down, even beyond these symbols, because they're pretty small, down into this area, because it's either going to be all the embedded fonts or the images and in this case, there's not a lot of embedded fonts in here.
So, I'm looking pretty good there, but right down here you can see my bitmap images seem pretty large. Okay, so I have the Home image, seems large. This Contact image seems pretty large as well. So, this is where the bulk of my file size is coming from, is of course from the images. I can also see that there are some sounds in here as well and potentially those could used to kind of be crunched down a little bit as well, but this is really the size report that tells me everything, and from there I can start to take a look at how much I need to bring it down. Because notice right here this is pretty much the size of my content. It's about 664K, is what it is.
All right, so I know the offending graphics are of course the bitmap graphics. So, what I can do off the bat is I can go to my Publish Settings and in my Publish Settings, in the Flash tab, I can bring down the quality of everything if I want. So, I can take it from 80 down to 30. I'll click OK. I'll do a Control > Test Movie. (Music playing) I can see it generated the size report again, and I can start to take a look at the file size.
So, it's actually drop to a pretty good amount, from 650 or so to 380. So, it's almost cut in half, but let's take a look at the content, because you can see my content has actually suffered as well. So, all of my Bitmap graphics look pretty bad, again, her face looks bad right there. (Female speaker: Hi, my name is Jill Steinman. I'm a freelance graphic designer...) These flowers look bad. So, it's really going to be a fine art of optimizing the specific graphics you need to optimize while keeping everything else maybe higher or lower, just kind of depends.
I think the clouds in the background, I can maybe crunch those down, because they're inherently nebulous and rough looking anyway. So again, that's the goal is to crunch down everything on a per graphic basis as opposed to using just my Publish Settings and crunching everything down. So, let's close that file, close our Output panel, and what I can do, if I just open up this Library panel, I can take a look at all of the graphics.
So, right in here, I can take a look at this clouds.jpg. So, what I can do is I can right-click on this clouds.jpg and go to Properties. From there, I can take this down from its imported quality, whatever that was, and I can make that Custom. So, I'm going to take the Quality down to maybe 20%, and I'll click Test, and you can see what you get. Obviously, that is way too small. Let's try 50.
Hit OK. That looks pretty good. Let's try 40 and really it's going to take this fine art of crunching this down, and also I can allow smoothing for this as well, and I might smooth it out a little bit. But I think that's acceptable, bringing that down to about 40% for my clouds, so it's about 17K, pretty darn small actually for the file size for that image. And next up, I have my other images. My contact image seems pretty darn large. That's this background image. It's going to be the same process of right-clicking, going to Properties, taking a look at the image, do a quick Test, and I can start to customize its quality.
So, let's take that down to 50, click Test, and I'd say that's still pretty acceptable. Luckily these graphics are fairly gritty to begin with. So, I think 50 works. Let's try 40, and that still looks pretty good. Click OK. I'm going to do this just to a couple of other images, Portfolio. Again, this is my Portfolio.
I can customize this down to say 30. I usually try pretty low and then start working my way up, and let's go to about 40, there to 45, and there we are. Okay, that looks pretty good as well. Home section, again, Jill's face unfortunately was not looking too good in this case, but I can come in here to test it, to use this Custom Quality of about 40 and still isn't that great.
And since this is the Home page, I actually, am going to leave this a little higher, about 60, just like that. All right, the last page, the About page, these are with all the flowers, which in general red is really tough to deal with, any sort of warm tone, but let's go ahead and see what happens when I take that down to 40. Okay, I would say that is acceptable, about 60%. Test out Allow Smoothing, sometimes it does a better job than others. But in general, I've just identified the sort of offending images, edited them or actually just optimized them on a per image basis.
Now, I can go to my Publish Settings and instead of crunching everything down to 30, just make it about 60 instead, because this logo file was also getting crunched down a lot. All right, so I've changed that. Let's go ahead and do a Test Movie. (Music playing) She looks better. Let's take a look. (Female speaker: Hi, my name is?) Those graphics look better.
These graphics look better, and let's just double-check our file size in here as well. Yeah 469, I'd say that's pretty good. All we've done is we've added maybe about 100K in image quality to certain areas, and as you can tell, I was able to customize that it on a per image basis to really give a nice look to the entire site, while still keeping it a small file size.

I'm new to WP and simply love it. It has so far met every expectation I've had, specifically: simple CMS, easy to use for beginners, great looking layouts, fantastic plug-ins.
My questions might generate a wide range of answers, but I'm interested in the prevailing opinion on the following:
1. Is it recommended to compensate with money for a free THEME used for a commercial (income-generating or professional) site?
2. Is it recommended to compensate with money for a PLUG-IN used for a commercial site?
3. What is protocol regarding removing the "Powered By" attributes of a theme or plug-in?
4. Does your answer to #3 change if you have significantly edited the CSS for a theme?
Thank you.
It would be great if when you answered you mentioned if you were an end-user (like me) or someone who creates themes and/or plug-ins.

I found a box of Duncan Hines Pineapple Supreme cake mix in my pantry. The box says "Best by March 30, 2011", which was 11 months ago. I did an online search - Some people say it is safe to use if you add perhaps 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Some people say use it to make cake mix cookies, since the rising factor isn't as important. Some people say throw it out.
Thank you for any advice or past experience you can share as to whether I should use it or throw it out.
There's really nothing in it to spoil. Except if you get those nasty little bugs in it. I used to get them in any powdery type stuff when I lived in Florida.
The baking powder might not be active, but go ahead & fix a cake with it. If it tastes off or doesn't rise to your expectations then toss the finished product. But if the can or envelope of pineapple is bulged or puffed up...then toss it.
I would use it - especially with the tip about baking powder. That's the only problem I've ever had with an old cake is that it didn't rise.
I would look at the problem this way...........if I toss it, I am out the cost of the mix. If I bake it, I am gambling that it may be a failure. If I don't go ahead and bake it, I will never know. I hate not knowing.
What is the tip about baking powder, Sue?
I baked a chocolate cake mix that was almost expired. It didn't raise the way it should have. I wondered at the time if I added a little baking powder , would it hurt? But I didn't. I just figured it would be no great loss to toss it. It tasted OK.
motherofdogs I did an online search - Some people say it is safe to use if you add perhaps 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
BKBK ~ Motherofdogs mentioned it in the original post.
I think I would throw it away since the best by date is almost a year. Maybe if it had been a couple of months I would use it.
When I was growing up our next door neighbor used to make the highest cakes from a mix so I asked her once how she did it. She always added a teas. of baking powder so it isn't going to harm the finished product. I'd bake it adding the baking powder and see if it is o.k. Nothing lost but a few eggs.
Thanks to everyone for your helpful good advice on this one! I made cake mix cookies using this mix, but I added one teaspoon of baking powder. They turned out just fine - DH came back from his workout at the Y and ate at least a handful. (I didn't tell him the mix had expired. Sometimes it is better not to know.)
When I'm in doubt, I call the 800 # & they are helpful about answering any questions like that...
The most precious jewels you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children♥
I wanted to thank everyone who posted because of you all I decided to use a 6 month old box of mix.
Early today I looked in my pantry and found an old box of mix. I made mini cupcakes with a box of Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix from April 2015. Today is October 23rd 2015 (fathers' birthday). If I had baking powder I would have used some to make the cupcakes rise up. I didn't so I used my 3 speed mixer on max for 3-4 minutes rather than the two minutes it said on the box. I figured putting a little more air in it would make them less dense and maybe look less deflated. The cupcakes rose a little but not much. I made Philadelphia cream cheese frosting with an old unused box of powdered sugar. I looked it up online and found out that boxes of unopened powdered sugar has a VERY long shelf life. The cupcakes and the frosting turned out great! My parents and I couldn't stop eating them! I am putting Baking powder on the shopping list in case I ever find another box like the red velvet.
It may seem odd that I made cupcakes from an old box on my Fathers birthday but I didn't know it was an old box. It was either that box or nothing. Meanwhile my parents are still eating them. I am sure my friends will enjoy them tomorrow night.
I found a few sites that said that flour lasts over a year and that baking powder lasts 6-8 months. When I made Red velvet cupcakes yesterday with a box mix that was six months past the date it smelled and tasted fine. I went though a lot of web sites. Many said that if the box is unopened and in a cool dry place it can last for up to a year or more. One site mentined that she vacume sealed her mixes in the box and they lasted 2-3 years. She also mentioned that zip locking unopened box mixes can add to their shelf life. A few sites said to add a 1/2 tsp of baking powder. Others said to add 1/2 tsp of each baking powder and baking soda.
These two sites say that a box mix can be good up to 12-18 months. Other sites I have looked at said mixes can still be good as long as 6-8 months.
Many of the sites said that you need to look at the bag of mix and inspect it for bugs. Smell it and taste it to see if its' good if there aren't bugs. They say to use your judgement.
Hope this helps.

This was a private island (owned by Norwegian Cruise Lines) that we were on. The beach and waters were amazing! I practically stayed in the water for as long as I could! We had to come ashore on Tenders (smaller boats) as there was no place for the ship to dock. Just walk a bit further away from where the Tenders drop you off and you will find a enough beach to make your own for the day. You can stay with crowds or go further to be by yourself. There are cabanas and tents to rent if you want some shade. They setup a barbecue for lunch which was good. Though I wish it had stayed open longer. Having said that I understand they needed to bring all the food, drinks, equipment etc. from the ship to the island and then take it all back.
I did a walk around Old San Juan and San Juan myself. I picked up a map and took my time. I had a coffee at a little outdoor cafe in the heart of Old San Juan, visited Don Collins Cigar Shop, chatted with locals etc. In short I did not take the tourist excursions. It was a nice fun and relaxing day.
I spent the day with some friends at Maho Beach on the Dutch side. This is the beach just at the edge of Princess Juliana International Airport. So we saw many planes land while we were on the beach. I would recommend it just for the planes! However, the beach is nice, the sand is fine and not hot on your feet even though the temperature was hot, about 30 Celsius. The water was blue and, clear and warm. This is a popular and busy beach, so if you want quiter beach, you may want to go elsewhere. Other than that, I just spent some time around the docks and visited some stores and vendors. I had my first coconut smoothie there and I would recommend it to anyone!

ABC's Jonathan Karl Contrasts Clinton's Tim Kaine VP Rollout With Trump's "Hastily Thrown Together" Announcement

Clinton Campaign Has Denounced Anti-Trump Violence, While Trump Himself Has Regularly Instigated Violence
Right-wing media figures are calling on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to condemn violence that broke out at presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign rally, ignoring that her campaign denounced the violence the night of the protests. Conservative media figures previously defended Trump when violent protests broke out at his rallies, despite many major media outlets noting that Trump's rhetoric has incited and encouraged the violence.
Sunday political talk show hosts and reporters strongly condemned Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump for "encouraging, even condoning violence" in his rallies after a series of violent events and increasingly incendiary rhetoric from the candidate.
In a March 2 report, the Washington Post reported that the Department of Justice granted immunity to Bryan Pagliano, an aide of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who allegedly set up her private email server. In their coverage of the report, nightly news programs on CBS, ABC, and NBC hyped claims that Pagliano's immunity signaled a troubling development for Hillary Clinton -- while neglecting to inform viewers that Pagliano's "limited immunity" is commonly requested and received in these types of investigations, and is "not indicative of guilt."
As Political Journalists Say Contested Convention Needed To Stop Trump, Conservatives Call For Unity Ticket
Political journalists are declaring that the only way now to prevent Trump from winning the Republican presidential nomination after his Super Tuesday victories is to have a contested Republican National Convention, in which delegates would vote by secret ballot to determine the nominee, rather than choosing the candidate they were originally pledged to support. Meanwhile, right-wing media figures are reacting to Trump's success by suggesting a joint ticket featuring Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) to stop Trump.
Media are praising Marco Rubio for attacking Donald Trump's health care plan as not having "a lot of there there," yet media are neglecting to mention it has been well reported that Rubio's health care proposal is similarly a "planlike concept," "vague and inscrutable," and "lousy."

ABC's World News Tonight pushed the myth that building the Keystone XL pipeline could create up to 40,000 jobs. In fact, the pipeline is expected to create as few as 50 permanent jobs.
During a November 18 report on the failed Senate vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, World News Tonight anchor David Muir stated that "many argued it could have created thousands of American jobs." ABC White House correspondent Jonathan Karl added that "the jobs estimates range from 4,000 to 40,000 jobs. Proponents say it not only creates jobs, but it could lead to energy independence."
But PolitiFact has classified similar claims that the construction of the pipeline would create tens of thousands of jobs to be "mostly false," because a vast majority of the jobs would be temporary, and it "does not amount to tens of thousands of full-time jobs in the most common sense of employment." According to PolitiFact, "the State Department estimates the operation of the pipeline will only create 35 permanent, full-time jobs and 15 temporary contractors" once construction is complete.
The pipeline would also do little for "energy independence." Much of the oil that would be carried by the pipeline is slated for export, and U.S. imports of oil would be minimally affected by the supply that would flow through the pipeline.
Media outlets are overlooking President Obama's consistent emphasis on eliminating the threat posed by the extremist group the Islamic State -- and the U.S. airstrikes against it -- to fixate on Obama's recent reference to shrinking the group's influence to a "manageable problem."
ABC News' Jonathan Karl hyped misleading accusations from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) that the Obama administration obstructed investigations into Benghazi by not releasing an email showing the White House contacted YouTube with concerns about an anti-Islam video as the attacks unfolded. But the White House's contacts with YouTube were reported by ABC News mere days after the attacks and acknowledged by the White House.
In the days immediately following the attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and other members of the administration described the assault as developing from spontaneous protests against an anti-Islam video that had been posted on YouTube, which had inspired riots across the Muslim world. That conclusion was consistent with the analysis of the intelligence community at the time. But because it was later revealed that there was no protest in Benghazi, conservatives led by Fox News have since claimed the Obama administration engaged in a deliberate effort to deceive the American people about the cause of the attacks.
In a May 22 post, Karl quoted Issa's selective leak of a single sentence from a State Department email sent on the night of the attack. That sentence explains that the White House was reaching out to YouTube with concerns that the attack stemmed from the anti-Islam video. Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, claimed the State Department "has attempted to obstruct" the email's disclosure:
A still-classified State Department e-mail says that one of the first responses from the White House to the Benghazi attack was to contact YouTube to warn of the "ramifications" of allowing the posting of an anti-Islamic video, according to Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The subject line of the e-mail, which was sent at 9:11 p.m. Eastern Time on the night of the attack, is "Update on Response to actions - Libya." The was written hours before the attack was over.
Issa has asked the White House to declassify and release the document. In the meantime he has inserted a sentence from the e-mail in the Congressional Record.
"White House is reaching out to U-Tube [sic] to advice ramification of the posting of the Pastor Jon video," the e-mail reads, according to Issa.
"The e-mail shows the White House had hurried to settle on a false narrative -- one at odds with the conclusions reached by those on the ground -- before Americans were even out of harm's way or the intelligence community had made an impartial examination of available evidence," Issa said.
Issa is calling on the White House to release an unclassified version of the document.
"While the information I have cited from this e-mail is clearly unclassified, the State Department has attempted to obstruct its disclosure by not providing Congress with an unclassified copy of this document," Issa said.
But the fact that the Obama administration reached out to YouTube due to the attack is no revelation. In fact, on September 14, 2012, Karl's then-colleague Jake Tapper reported on ABC's World News, "one other development today, the National Security Council here at the White House has reached out to YouTube to find out if their posting of that anti-Muslim film violates the terms of use." Update: Here's the video:
Mainstream media outlets attempted to cast doubt on White House press secretary Jay Carney's explanation that a memo advising Susan Rice on her TV appearances referred to global protests as opposed to the September 11 attack specifically. However Sunday news coverage from Rice's press tour demonstrates that discussions of Benghazi did include broader context of anti-American protests in the region, as Carney had asserted.

ABC's Jonathan Karl, who was previously burned when he pushed falsehoods about CIA talking points generated in the wake of the 2012 Benghazi attacks, is now adopting the conservative distortion of a separate set of talking points authored by the White House for media appearances by then U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.
On September 16, 2012, Rice appeared on the Sunday political talk shows and suggested that the Benghazi terror attacks had grown out of spontaneous protests like those that were occurring worldwide in response to an anti-Muslim video. Conservatives have claimed that Rice's comments on the Sunday shows were part of a deliberate effort to deceive the American people about the cause of the terror attacks, to bolster President Obama's re-election campaign. This effort has often involved distorting the CIA-approved talking points that Rice used to prepare for the interviews.
Karl came under fire in May 2013 after reporting that the network had "reviewed" emails from administration officials regarding the creation and editing of those CIA-generated talking points. While nothing Karl reported undermined assertions from the CIA that the intelligence community had approved those talking points, Karl suggested that the emails bolstered the conservative critique of the administration's response.
In fact, Karl had never seen the emails in question -- his story was based on "summaries" of the emails and "detailed notes" from a source who, it turned out, had misrepresented what the documents actually said. After media observers slammed Karl's "sloppy" reporting, ABC News issued a statement saying that the network "should have been more precise in its sourcing of those quotes, attributing them to handwritten copies of the emails taken by a Congressional source. We regret that error." Karl himself apologized in a statement to CNN.
Now Karl is returning to the subject of talking points used to prepare Rice for those September 16, 2012, interviews, seizing on a separate email authored by Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes that was released yesterday. The email details "Goals" and "Top-lines" for Rice's interviews and provides sample questions and answers.
Conservatives have fixated on one of Rhodes' recommendations for the interviews, detailing one of the goals as "To underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy." Conservatives claim this is evidence the White House was seeking to deliberately mislead the public by blaming Benghazi on the anti-Muslim video rather than terrorism in the region.
In what Mediaite described as a "heated back and forth" during the April 30 White House Press Briefing, Karl hyped this false attack, repeatedly challenging White House Press Secretary Jay Carney over the Rhodes email and Rice's interviews.
During their exchange, Carney sought to make clear that the Rhodes email was not just about the Benghazi attacks but was a more extensive document detailing the situation in the Middle East more broadly, and thus that the comment that "these protests are rooted in an internet video" was not about Benghazi specifically. According to Carney, Rice depended on the CIA talking points for information on Benghazi and the White House talking points for other topics.
Conservative media have been quick to use the exchange to attack Carney and the White House. But the White House documents upon which Karl based his misleading questions support Carney's argument.

I made this for one of my dil's for Christmas. She saw the picture in my Scarf Style book and loved it. It's Malabrigo in Moss. I couldn't wait until Christmas to post pics so it's me modeling it. I'm sure it will look better on her. It was fun to make, and definitely different. Kind of odd to wear, though -- think I would make the sleeves a little shorter if I make another. I hope she likes it.
Wow - I really like that and the color is great. I'm sure she'll be thrilled with it.
Wow ! what a great pattern. It is so unusual . I love it!
Love the color! It looks good.
I love the color...this has been on my to do list since last winter :teehee: ...it looks great and I know she will love it...:thumbsup:
It does look weird at first sight, but what a great idea! And in my favourite colour!
That's sure to keep her warm! Nice job on it.
I love that! It jazzes up a plain shirt and gives it a little more warmth. I would totally wear that.

MREITs Turning Around 18 comments
The taper starting has been a great thing for mREITs as no one predicted that I know of. Long term rates are lowering and now stabilizing in the 2.75% range for the 10 year treasury. mREITs are recovering their price to book value as the rates stabilize and people start to come back into this beaten up sector. My investments finally are in the black after being in the red ever since the May and June carnage of last year. The dividends over time have made up my losses in stock price and I have made some good picks in NRF, NYMT, WMC, and NCT that have helped my principal invested recover. Even MORL is only down 6.6% in total returns for me and that can be made up in a good week or from 4-5 months of dividends. So far so good in 2014. The only thing Im concerned with are rates rising too fast or short term rates going up, but that will always be a concern for mREITs and it doesn't seem either of those scenarios will materialize in the near term.
Near term concern is WMC's book value taking out the recent gains. The BV is probably below 15$ while the stock is at 16.35$ and well above its peers in price to book value.
Im thinking of trying to stabilize my portfolio without dropping my dividend yield too much by going more into NYMT, which has shown remarkable price stability in the last 5 years and has the 4th highest dividend of the bunch (WMC, ORC and CYS are higher) , without any recent dividend cuts as most mREITs have done.
Seems most of February has been rising stock price days in mREITs even on days rates aren't dropping. Just the recovery the sector deserves I think, they usually don't trade at Decembers low price to book value. The end of the year selling and the taper fears were just a perfect storm of worry that seems to have passed. For all who stayed long through this downturn, I hope you are getting back in the black as well and your long term dividend returns will trump this recent setback. Dividends may finally have stabilized as well and if that is true, it will bring more people back to this sector as management probably knows.

I would agree that WMC BV was probably below $15 at the end of Q4 2013. Using the last unofficial BV given by WMC on 12/1/13 of $16.80 and subtracting the 10.5% stock dilution of $1.76 ($16.80-(10.5%*$16.80)) I would get a BV of $15.04 on 12/1/13 but we know BV dropped in December so mid $14 range makes sense. I would guess BV has recovered and WMC has covered the cash part of the Q4 dividend so a BV of $15.04 now is probably close to actual. A long way from current price of $16.60 at 11:30am on 2/19/13. I've got a stop loss of $16.40 set and I keep moving it up as the stock climbs. I'll catch it near its peak hopefully and then wait until it bottoms and then buy it back with a bunch more shares. I am long on WMC but I can't pass up this chance to catch a WMC stock bubble.
Well WMC made it down to $16.40 (i was hoping I could track it higher) so I'm sold out of WMC for the moment. I'll now wait until after the earnings call to buy back in. I bought just before the exdividend date ($17.10) and managed to make 11% with the share dividend and subsequent price appreciation. The way I look at it i got the "normal" 4th quarter dividend of 5% plus an additional quarter dividend of 5% plus 1% toward another quarter and I've taken the earnings report risk off the table. I wish all my trades went this well. I'll be back in if the earnings report shows WMC can support its current quarterly dividend ($.70 when you factor in the stock dilution).
Thanks @DL. My WMC was in a retirement account so I don't have to facter in tax considerations. I'm really concerned about the apparent disconnect between price and BV and the day of reckoning that will come when Q413 earnings are reported. It may not be a rational market reaction initially.
You've got me considering doing the same thing. WMC may report a more current BV along with the earnings report to try to save some of the stock price appreciation, but Im guessing its still going to be well below the 16.58 I see right now. You wont miss the dividend as thats not coming until the end of march.
"The taper starting has been a great thing for mREITs as no one predicted that I know of. "
Kudos on that. I think most thought it would cause another rate jump and consistent rise in long term rates, which has not materialized yet as rates have fallen. With the hint of taper being so inflating to long term rates, it was tough to see the actual thing not being inflating as well. Hope your back in the black jpmist. Staying with it hasn't turned out to be all that bad, just wish I could have avoided may and June.
Hey, DL
That Fed meeting was before the bad job creation data, before the record drop in house builders confidence, the recent drop in housing starts and the recent bad weather. The jobless rate creeps down but that is mostly do to people dropping out of the job market rather than actual jobs being created. I bet you won't see that short term rate hike discussion in the next Fed minutes. I think the economy is still just to weak to support a short term rate increase. Also the inflation rate is below target so there is no pressure from that quarter to raise short term rates either.
I do not like REITS but started buying them when the price went down. I think they are way too scary for someone like me but like the dividend so I only buy them at bargin prices. I want to buy more now but they are no longer a bargain and I think too much risk to pay a lot.
I'm a neophyte in the area of repo rates but I've always thought the repo rates are tied pretty closely to the fed discount rate unless something pretty catastrophic happens (like 2008). Any education on this subject would be appreciated. I agree that short term rate changes would be easier for MREITS to handle than long term rate gyrations.
Short term rates rising would hurt the spreads, but Ive been looking at it in this way: If the long term rates go up the same amount as the short term rates, the spread will stay the same, but BV will take a hit with the increase in long term rates. In no fan of short term rates rising, but I think it will be overfeared at the onset.
@KRT You're right that the Fed funds rate is tied closely to repo rates, but the Fed is testing something called a Fixed-Rate Reverse-Repo (FRRP) Program which may supplement it. It's way over my pay grade to understand it, but it's worth keeping an eye on. The only quotes I can find on MBS repo is from DTCC whose data is used in the WSJ. http://bit.ly/1fgtlQy
Scroll down and you'll see their MBS repo quotes, which I assume means what short term repo costs with MBS as collateral. At 5 bp, I also think these are overnight rates. If memory serves mREITs report paying as much as 42 basis points for longer term repo but they don't report much about term or the haircut. (The haircut is the difference between the amount of MBS pledged and the amount of the loan the company gets for the collateral, usually 5%)
@JPMIST Thanks for that helpful info. It would seem short term rates are somewhat rationally controlled by the fed (and therefore more predictable and planned) whereas long term rates are emotion driven (fear & euphoria) when unexpected events occur but after a while rational thinking settles in and rates stablize.
Thanks, I got the idea from Doug Short. He keeps his chart updated so I don't have to.

NEWARK, July 16— The conductor on the Manhattan-bound commuter train that lost a wheel and derailed Monday morning was accused today of incorrectly performing an emergency inspection and failing to detect dangerous overheating in the wheel's assembly about 40 minutes before it came off.
''I believe there was human error that caused the derailment,'' said George D. Warrington, the executive director of New Jersey Transit, as he released the results of a preliminary investigation of the accident. ''Personally, I just think it was an honest mistake.''
The conductor's union questioned whether there was a mistake.
The conductor, who was not identified, was suspended today without pay, pending completion of the transportation agency's investigation and a hearing. Mr. Warrington said the conductor could face dismissal from his job if hearing officers eventually agree with New Jersey Transit's charges that he failed to conduct a proper inspection after the train was ordered to make an emergency stop in Edison, N.J., about 22 miles south of where it derailed.
A track-side electronic sensor had detected overheating in a wheel assembly as the 12-car train, the 6:45 a.m. from Trenton, sped toward Manhattan with about 1,200 passengers. A dispatcher who received an electronic warning from the sensor ordered the train stopped and instructed the conductor to test the wheels and axles on the sixth car -- the subject of the warning -- and on adjacent cars. Officials said today that the inspection procedure requires the conductor to test the wheel assembly with a pencil-size hand-held heat detector called a Tempilstik. The device has a wax tip that melts when held against metal surfaces that are hotter than 200 degrees.
Mr. Warrington said today that during the inspection the conductor apparently applied the Tempilstik to the wrong part of the wheel assembly. The wax did not melt and the conductor believed that the wheel was not overheated and the train was safe enough to continue its morning rush hour trip to New York, Mr. Warrington and other transit officials said.
About half an hour after the train resumed its journey, bearings in the wheel assembly became severely overheated, the wheel apparently melted away from the axle, and it flew off south of a railroad swing bridge over the Hackensack River in Secaucus. Two of the 12 coaches -- the sixth and seventh -- then derailed, but the train, which had been heading north at 69 miles per hour, 1 m.p.h. below the speed limit, went about another mile. It stopped in a desolate marsh about six miles from Penn Station in Manhattan.
The sixth and seventh cars wound up tilted to the left at about a 30-degree angle. Before it stopped, passengers have said, the train swayed back and forth on the tracks and objects thudded against the underside of some of the coaches. When the train ground to a halt, terrified passengers scrambled to safety through windows. Thirteen people were treated for minor injuries.
Mr. Warrington said New Jersey Transit based its accusation against the conductor on his failure to test properly for overheating during a re-enactment on Tuesday of Monday's track-side inspection. In the re-enactment, the conductor was required to apply the Tempilstik exactly as he had done the day before. He placed the device incorrectly against a horizontal metal bar in the wheel assembly that does not absorb or generate heat, New Jersey Transit officials said. They said the conductor should have touched the device to the bottom of a box containing the wheel's bearings, which had apparently overheated Monday. The box is located about three inches above the bar.
The conductor is a member of Local 60 of the United Transportation Union, which represents about 1,100 New Jersey Transit conductors and assistant conductors. The local's general chairman, Xavier D. Williams, called the charge premature and unfair. He said the agency should have completed its investigation before acting.
Mr. Williams said Local 60 believed the conductor performed the inspection properly on Monday. He said two union representatives at the re-enactment on Tuesday were told that the conductor had misapplied the Tempilstik to the first wheel assembly he checked then.
''He said he was nervous,'' Mr. Williams said. ''He did everything right but the first test'' in the re-enactment. Mr. Warrington agreed.
In another aspect of the investigation, officials believe the wheel's bearings overheated because a rock or some other debris on the track bed punctured a rubber seal around the bearing box after the train left Trenton. Protective lubricants and grease leaked out of the box, and the bearings eventually ground against each other and overheated. Mr. Warrington said the agency plans to design shields to protect the bearing boxes.
Chart: ''Reconstructing Monday's Derailment'' New Jersey Transit said a conductor failed to correctly check the temperature of a wheel bearing after a sensor near the track had shown it was overheating. The bearing failed, and the wheel later came off the train. What Went Wrong . . . Railway officials believe a piece of debris punctured the bearing seal, allowing lubricant to escape and causing the bearings to heat up. . . . And Why It Was Missed When asked to demonstrate how he had checked the wheel's temperature, the conductor at first applied the tester to a metal panel three inches from the right place. Photo demonstrates correct testing method. Diagram/photo shows: TRACK BEARING SEAL CORRECT PLACE TO CHECK TEMPERATURE METAL PANEL (Source: New Jersey Transit)(pg. B6)

It looks like Seattle has taken Toronto's place as worst team in the league.
The game wasnt as one sided as those highlights make it seem. The biggest positives to take from that game are that Zakuani is really starting to look like his old self and that Traore continues to slide into the lineup well. They will turn it around but this is a bad start the season.

BitBeat: Only One Winner in Marshals Service Bitcoin Auction
Welcome to BitBeat, your daily dose of crypto-current events, written by Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey.
Bitcoin Latest Price: $653.18, up 2.2% (via CoinDesk)
Crossing Our Desk:
- There was one, yes, one, winner in the U.S. Marshals Service's auction of the Silk Road bitcoins, the service said in a statement late this afternoon. That bidder took home all 10 blocks that were up for auction, totaling roughly 30,000 bitcoins.
"The U.S. Marshals Bitcoin auction resulted in one winning bidder," Lynzey Donahue from the Marshals' office of public affairs, said via email. "The transfer of the bitcoins to the winner was completed today."
That makes some sense. We had yet to receive word of any winning bidder, although we did hear from the surprising losers. SecondMarket found out early that it did not win. "While we are disappointed that our syndicate did not emerge as a winner in the auction," CEO Barry Silbert said, "we are pleased to see such strong interest from other bidders. The auction was a clear success and the result quite positive for bitcoin."
He's right about that. Since trading around $570 on Friday, the price of bitcoin has jumped to above $650 on Tuesday.
Pantera Capital, a key San Francisco VC in the bitcoin world, was also shut out, the firm told Reuters. Bitcoin Shop, another bidder in the auction, also reported that it was shut out.
Now the big parlor game will be trying to track the movement of those coins, and figure out who they went to. The message boards will be active, we're sure. (Paul Vigna)
- As the Winklevoss twins' bitcoin ETF moves regulatory approval process, the duo filed an updated Form S-1 statement with the SEC on Tuesday (the form used to register securities). This is the fourth amendment to the form, and the most prominent thing to come out of it is that they've picked a ticker symbol.
Shares in the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust will be registered under the symbol COIN (we were surprised to learn that nobody had it, but nobody did), according to the amendment, which is dated July 1 (a year to the day of the initial filing, incidentally). They will trade on the Nasdaq OMX, as announced back in May.
Most of the other changes comprise minor tweaks. In a section talking about government regulations, they add Switzerland as a government that's moving toward clearer regulations, and note Bolivia's central bank banned bitcoin. There are a few additions to the risk factors. One notes that since the core bitcoin developers aren't paid for their work (in general), they could, possibly, stop maintaining the protocol. In a section describing the danger of a 51% attack, they add a discussion of the recent news that GHash.io recently touched the 50% mark.
The ETF is still winding its way through the SEC's approval process. "Under the securities laws we are not permitted to discuss timing to launch or effectiveness," Cameron Winklevoss said. "However, identifying the ticker symbol and the exchange are two major events that further demonstrate that we are moving forward as expected." (Paul Vigna)
