Well the first quarter has moved quickly in the technology sector and business has shown signs of renewal. But technology marketers still have many challenges ahead of them. The marketing budgets at technology companies still have not been fully restored and probably will not be for some time. The true challenge for tech marketers will be to transform your department to better serve and support your sales teams with strategies and tactics to nurture the tech buyers.
I have been meaning to share a quick summary of ITSMA's 2010 State of the Marketing Profession Address authored by President Dave Munn and Senior Vice President Julie Schwartz. Together these two share some great insight that identifies areas for improvement with tech marketers. Once again, it comes down to creating relevant content, a theme I have been harping on for quite some time.
With tech marketers still strapped for budgets, all of us in the industry need to "do more with less". I know it sounds cliché, but the CIO's and tech buyers out there have provided the two authors with some actionable insights for all of us tech marketing folks to consider as we think through marketing strategies. For starters, below is a quick chart that summarizes top priorities of CIO's in the 2010 year.
It no surprise that enabling the sales force is in the top position. The discussion around aligning marketing and sales teams are becoming real corporate efforts at this point. Sales enablement allows the marketing teams to step towards this objective by supporting the sales departments with relevant marketing messages and tools so the sales force can generate and close leads. Isn't this what the marketing team is supposed to be doing? In fact all three of the top priorities identified in this report can move an organization towards more sales and marketing alignment as these three focus areas tend to be shared goals of both departments.
Getting there will require marketing teams to alter their approach as tech buyers have become more savvy:
The Itsma report suggests that Tech Buyer behavior is changing .
The buyers have become, More powerful and knowledgeable, More selective, More Value conscious and seek insight and ideas
–Only 50% of buyers think the content and vehicles providers use to bring them new ideas are effective
For tech marketers to succeed, they will need to transform their approach by creating a content generation engine that:
–Integrate sales and marketing via the marriage of CRM and marketing automation
–Invest in marketing analytics to predict and improve results
By generating relevant content and integrated campaigns to generate leads you can support and enable your sales team to move your prospects towards the close. Reaching the shared goals of both departments and moving closer to alignment.

Groundhog Day was adopted in the U.S. in 1887. Clymer H. Freas was the editor of the Local paper Punxsutawney spirit at the time, and he began promoting the town's groundhog as the official "Groundhog Day meteorologist".
Groundhog Day (Canadian French: Jour de la Marmotte; Pennsylvania German: Grundsaudaag, Murmeltiertag) is a traditional holiday celebrated on February 2. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will persist for six more weeks. To learn more about groundhog day books are available on the subject. http://hcpl2.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/nw/search/results?qu=groundhog+day&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CTITLE%7C%7C%7CTitle

Skip to comments.Farrakhan Demands Reparations from Jews
Posted on 07/12/2010 11:40:48 PM PDT by Fred Nerks
Louis Farrakhan recently sent a three-page letter along with two books to the heads of sixteen Jewish organizations.
Dated June 24, 2010, the letter is resplendent with a crescent-and-moon flag and Farrakhan's impressive-sounding title ("National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam"). In it, he announces that the books (volume two of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews and Jews Selling Blacks: Slave Trade by American Jews) present
an undeniable record of Jewish anti-Black behavior, starting with the horror of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, plantation slavery, Jim Crow, sharecropping, the labor movement of the North and South, the unions and the misuse of our people that continues to this very moment.
Farrakhan challenges the recipients of his letter who range politically from Jeremy Ben-Ami (of J-Street) to Lee Rosenberg (of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) to Morton Klein (of the Zionist Organization of America)
to find one act committed by me or those who follow me that has injured one Jewish person, stopped Jews from doing business, hindered their education, injured their families, sullied or desecrated their synagogues.
"You will not find one," declares Farrakhan, who then asks: "on what basis do you charge me and us as being 'anti-Semitic'?" Quite the contrary, Farrakhan avers, "we could now charge you with the most vehement anti-Black behavior in the annals of our history in America and the world. We could charge you with being the most deceitful so-called friend, while your history with us shows you have been our worst enemy." Farrakhan could also dwell on the fact that Jews are "sitting on top of the world in power, with riches and influence, while the masses of my people here in America, in the Caribbean, Central and South America and elsewhere in the world are in the worst condition of any member of the human family."
He could make these points, he notes, but he chooses not to: "I do not write this with vitriol, hatred, bitterness, or a spirit of vengeance." Instead, he hopes to establish ties with Jews: "I have pleaded with you over the years for a sensible, intelligent dialogue. You have rejected me." Despite prior failures, the publication of these two books inspires Farrakhan to try anew: "I again ask you for a dialogue."
For Farrakhan, dialogue equals reparations. Because Jews "are in a position to help me in the civilizing work that The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was given to do by Allah (God)." More specifically: "This is an offer asking you and the gentiles whom you influence to help me in the repair of my people from the damage that has been done by your ancestors to mine." In other words, after years of unsuccessfully demanding reparations for blatcks from the U.S. government, he is now looking to Jews to make amends for their alleged past injustices.
Farrakhan presents this moment as both a unique opportunity for Jews ("This is a wonderful way of the present generation of Jews to escape the Judgment of Allah") and as an ultimatum:
you may either gather your forces for an all-out struggle against me, the Nation of Islam, and the truth that I and we speak and write, or as an intelligent and civilized people, we can sit down and carve out a way forward that can obliterate the stain of the past and render us, Jews and Blacks in a new, honorable, and mutually respectful relationship.
Should Jews spurn this offer, Farrakhan threatens "disgrace and ruin":
should you choose to make our struggle to our people more difficult, then I respectfully warn you that the more you fight and oppose me rather than help me to lift my people from their degraded state, Allah (God) and His Messiah will bring you and your people to disgrace and ruin and destroy your power and influence here and throughout the world.
He signs off with "Respectfully and Sincerely Submitted, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Servant to the Lost-Found Nation of Islam in the West."
(1) In a major speech on June 26, Farrakhan announced having sent these books to more than the named Jewish leaders:
we have published Volume No. 2 of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews. I sent this book, and another one that is printed called Jews Selling Blacks, to Mr. Abraham Foxman of B'nai B'rith [sic], and to all the leaders of the major Jewish organizations. I sent it to President Obama, to Rahm Emanuel, to David Axelrod, to Timothy Geithner, to Larry Summers, to Ben Bernanke.
(2) According to Farrakhan's publication, The Final Call, none of the Jewish leaders responded to his letter other than to denounce it.
(3) The "Nation of Islam Historical Research Team" (note the absence of individuals' names) produced the first volume of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews in 1991. In brief, the first volume was akin to The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, not a scholarly tome but an artifact of conspiracist propaganda intended solely to spawn hatred against Jews. Harold Brackman began to demolish its scholarly pretensions in Ministry of Lies: The Truth behind the Nation of Islam's "The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews" (Four Walls Eight Windows, 1994) and Saul S. Friedman finished the job in Jews and the American Slave Trade (Transaction, 1998).
(4) Attempts to blame the trans-Atlantic slave trade on Jews reminds one of conspiracy theories blaming 9/11 on Jews: in both cases, Jews are brought gratuitously into a story overwhelmingly about Muslims.
(5) Farrakhan relies on obvious but clever duplicity in his letter: "we could charge you" with a host a charges but will not do so. We are offering you a deal but if you turn it down, "disgrace and ruin" await you. The letter amounts to an unsubtle attempt at extortion.
(6) It also offers a perverse example of benign antisemitism, whereby a person hopes that Jews will use what he imagines to be their power to help him in this case appealing for help with "the gentiles whom you influence."
(7) One might think that with Barack Obama in the White House and Africa enjoying high economic growth rates, Farrakhan would stop focusing on Jews to "lift my people from their degraded state."
(8) The letter fits a pattern of antisemitism on Farrakhan's part that goes back to his re-establishing the Nation of Islam in 1978. In contrast, under Elijah Muhammad, who died in 1975, Farrakhan and the NoI more generally evinced little interest in Jews.
(9) Klein of ZOA calls this letter "a veiled call for violence against Jews" and he is right: Farrakhan full well knows he would not get the reply he demands.
(10) Farrakhan has praised Obama as "the hope of the entire world," the "one who can lift America from her fall," and as one sent by "the Messiah." Obama's presidency has apparently emboldened him to renew his attacks on Jews.
(11) Where are the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim American Society, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council? One awaits their condemnations of Farrakhan.

All the racists have been emboldend by the racist in chief and our racist AG, time is short and they gotta move fast and apparently that is exactly what they are doing.
"Louis Farrakhan recently sent a three-page letter along with two books to the heads of sixteen Jewish organizations."
I demand reparations from Farrakhan for the lost life of my ancestors who fought to end slavery in the U.S.

Ashahed moderated youth forums and Malik sat on a panel at a youth town hall meeting during this year's activities. It was a time of meeting greeting, organizing and strategizing.

Farrakhan doesn't want reparations. He wants a race war.
Maybe there's a black panther in the White House?
Just following the dream of Malcolm X who wanted a Mau Mau in the USA:
Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga Odinga, and the Mau Mau will go down as the greatest African patriots and freedom fighters that that continent ever knew, and they will be given credit for bringing about the independence of many of the existing independent states on that continent right now. There was a time when their image was negative, but today they're looked upon with respect and their chief is the president and their next chief is the vice president.
I have to take time to mention that because, in my opinion, not only in Mississippi and Alabama, but right here in New York City, you and I can best learn how to get real freedom by studying how Kenyatta brought it to his people in Kenya, and how Odinga helped him, and the excellent job that was done by the Mau Mau freedom fighters. In fact, that's what we need in Mississippi. In Mississippi we need a Mau Mau. In Alabama we need a Mau Mau. In Georgia we need a Mau Mau. Right here in Harlem, in New York City, we need a Mau Mau.
Hah I bet Obama throws all these Black Racists under the bus.
Obama is not going to let these punks ruin his job of screwing over America.
He's speaking for Obamao.
Too bad most American Jews cannot see past their own blind liberalism to be able to condemn and reject people like this.
"Hah I bet Obama throws all these Black Racists under the bus."
Nope, they are speaking for him.
They are just beginning to feel their power.
Hahahahahaha; fat chance, Bonehead.
from MANKIND IN AMNESIA. Immanuel Velikovsky. page 154
A characteristic social and psychological phenomenon is taking place in the process of the black reawakening in the United States. The fourth- to tenth-generation descendants of slaves (in the case of of the West Indies only the third generation) feel a resurgence of the longing for Africa that accompanied the fettered slaves on their forced voyage to this country and and haunted the thoughts of the first generation of those working on plantations or in mines. But together with this Back-to-Africa sentiment, a strange, even pathological phenomenon takes place: the most militant among the Amercian blacks look to the Arabs as their allies and mentors.
The descendants of the slaves return to those who preyed on them, took them captives, chained them, drove them mercilessly across deserts, let them die from thirst exhausted at oars on galleys. The urge to return to the tormentor or to his descendants, to adopt their religion, and hail them as saviors is a reaction for which psychology knows the cause: a victim's children remain fascinated by the one who wielded a whip over their father...
I want reparations for all the pain and suffering from having to endure all the loud,obnoxious,rap noise pollution that blast out of over-sized woofers from some inconsiderate punk's rice burner low rider at 2-3 oclock in the morning keeping me up at night.You know,the garbage you called a "gift"Screwy Louie?
Farrakhan can STFU, too! All the low life vermin are crawling out of the woodwork now!
[FYI: For those who pay attention, slavery in the Colonies/USofA was horrible but survivable, whereas slavery on the Caribbean sugar plantations was both horrible and mostly non-survivable. Of the 12 million Slaves brought from Africa who survived to the end of the voyage, only 500,000 came to what became the USofA. The sugar plantations on the relatively tiny Caribbean Islands received 5 Million over the time of the Atlantic Slave Trade.]
As already pointed out, much of the originating slave trade producers were the native pagan tribes and the more organized, long-established Muslim slave traders, a fact that Minister Farrakhan willfully ignores. Farrakhan is such a truth seeker, isn't he and it is obvious that the key to their madness is to discard all embarrassing and 'irrelevant' facts that disagree with your foregone conclusion. The concepts of "Thesis, Antithesis leads to Synthesis" are not recognized here.
Calypso Louie should seek reparations from whoever left the pile of feces in his skull and told him it was a brain.
Where exactly did he send this demand to? The Jews have no equivalent of the Pope. Maybe he will just file a class action lawsuit against all Jews in Federal court. It wouldn't surpise me if Holder's Justice Dept joined such a lawsuit.
I wonder if the idiot has sent a reparations bill
to the Arabs? Muslims have sold more black and white
skinned people than any in human history? Hell,
to this day they are capturing and selling people
in Africa, today! Ignore what the sand people do,
just go after whitey. Crackers, are getting tired
ot this b.s. A hit back is coming, and it's going
to hurt.
Does that make me racist?
Also, American Jews did more to abolish slavery than any other group. They held fund the Underground Railroad.
This garbage is straight out of Hitler's mouth.
Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.

They want reparations to help fund a race war. Reparations would not be the end, that's for sure.
Lousy Louis-—"My people" - lilly whites of eastern and southern Europe demand reparations from mohamedans like you. Many more European whites were enslaved by AFrican Arab and turk Muslims than Africans were enslaved by European whites.
You pay up first.
Good one!
As for Fartacan, the Israeli Government should tell him that it has hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations stored in a bank in Gaza. Invite him over and give him one cab fare to the bank and tell him to loudly demand all that money you have here from those jews.
These SOBs rounded up my people too! Lily white European slaves.
I demand reparations from Arab and Turk Muslims..along with their African goons.
As Robert C. Davis notes in this eye-opening account of Barbary Coast slavery, American historians have studied every aspect of enslavement of Africans by whites but have largely ignored enslavement of white (Europeans) by North Africans. Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters is a carefully researched, clearly written account of what Prof. Davis calls the other slavery, which flourished during approximately the same period as the trans-Atlantic trade, and which devastated hundreds of European coastal communities. Slavery plays nothing like the central role in the thinking of todays whites that it does for blacks, but not because it was fleeting or trivial matter. The record of Mediterranean slavery is, indeed, as black as the most tendentious portrayals of American slavery. Prof. Davis, who teaches Italian social history at Ohio State University, casts a piercing light into this fascinating but neglected corner of history.
The Barbary Coast, which extends from Morocco through modern Libya, was home to a thriving man-catching industry from about 1500 to 1800. The great slaving capitals were Salé in Morocco, Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli, and for most of this period, European navies were too weak to put up more than token resistance.
What is most striking about Barbary slaving raids is their scale and reach. Pirates took most of their slaves from ships, but they also organized huge, amphibious assaults that practically depopulated parts of the Italian coast. Italy was the most popular target, partly because Sicily is only 125 miles from Tunis, but also because it did not have strong central rulers who could resist invasion.
The fishermen and coastal dwellers of 17th-century Britain lived in terror of being kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa. Hundreds of thousands across Europe met wretched deaths on the Barbary Coast in this way. Professor Robert Davis investigates.
Thanks FARS!
78% of American (Liberal) Jews voted for this. They would still cheer if the Kenyan started building gas chambers. Not the only idiots too. Union Catholics were another big block who voted for the usurper. What did Jews expect?
PS: I know more than a few conservative Jews who pleaded with friends. Jews who left Europe due to Islamification - well the liberal ones voted for it for the USA.

I was given the sales pitch and offered the "deal" which I fell for, I spent many months of studying and come test time I found out that the content of the training was no where near the information needed to pass the exam.
After trying several times to contact Wade Kohn (he steps out a lot, and does not return phone calls) I asked for the sales manager who pawned me off on one of their training techs who basically tried to resell me on the product and then sent me the Microsoft training kit to help me out? What better way to admit your training is outdated.
If that is the route I wanted to go I would have gone to the book store and saved my money! If you are looking to buy the product look at the datestamp on samples and you will see proof that the content is not updated.
I have gotten nothing but excuses, I have asked for updated material and as stated received Microsoft training material. No follow-up as promised and Wade is still "Out". All I have now is outdated material, failed exams and lots of "great deals" sent to me thru emails.
Now that's a ripoff!

Malloy Plots New Spending on Pensions, Schools
HARTFORD — In a face-the-music moment at the capitol here Wednesday, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy said it was time to overhaul the state's public education and pension systems and authorize $329 million in new spending to help revive the local economy.
The Democratic governor used his State of the State address to claim credit for balancing a $3.6 billion budget in 2011 and reaching a deal with the state-employee union. He focused much of his speech on addressing two long-term problems: an education system with the largest achievement gap in the U.S. between poor and wealthy students, and a $10 billion pension fund that has less than half the funds it needs to pay retirees.
"Awhile back we stopped leading. And since then, we have spent too much time muddling along, mired in mediocrity," Malloy said. "It is time for us to lead again…not a recovery, a revival."
Leading the policy agenda for his second year in office is a $128 million education package.
"Let's be honest with ourselves, and let's speak bluntly: many parts of our system of public education are broken," he said, citing the state's loss in the Race to the Top competition for federal education grants as well as "flat test scores and our yawning achievement gap."
Malloy's proposed changes would pour more money into failing schools, make it harder for teachers to earn and retain tenure, and create an incentive program for districts that embrace state-encouraged changes. He also pushed for additional state spending on charter and alternative schools to bring their funding up to par with traditional public schools.
On the pension front, Malloy called on the Democratically-controlled legislature allocate $98 million in additional funds to pump up the State Employees Retirement System. He said the move would help repair an underfunded liability that, in part, motivated credit agencies to lower the state's bond ratings in recent months.
He also asked lawmakers to pour $103 million into safety-net services like nursing homes and mental health.
"If you've learned nothing else about me in the past 13 months, I hope you've learned this: I do what I say I'm going to do, and I do what I think is right for Connecticut, irrespective of the political consequences," Malloy said, addressing criticism that as a Democrat he would be afraid to take on teachers unions on contentious issues such as teacher tenure.
Teacher union leaders called the governor's plan a starting point.
"We have a lot in common but the devil is in the details and we look forward to working with all the stakeholders on these important issues," said May Loftus Levine, executive director of the Connecticut Education Association, which represents 143,000 members.
While Malloy's speech engendered bipartisan praise, Republican lawmakers expressed concerns over proposed spending at a time when the state continues to tread on what they called uneven financial footing.
"We've had warning signs in the past month that things aren't as sound as they think," said House Republican leader Larry Cafero. "They deny there is a deficit, that there's a problem…We have to address that and cut spending and make sure we're economically stable and then we can realize the governor's plan."

Liking the new popeMarch 16,2013
Liking the new pope
I was delighted to learn that the newly elected pope chose for himselfthe name of St. Francis of Assisi, generally known as patron saint ofthe animals. Indeed, Catholic and Anglican churches hold ceremoniesblessing animals on his feast day of Oct. 4.
On one of his nature walks, Francis reportedly preached to the birds andis often portrayed with a bird in his hand. On another occasion, Francisconcluded a pact with a ferocious wolf that was terrorizing localtownsfolk, whereby the wolf would quit preying on the towns sheep inexchange for being fed regularly. He even persuaded local dogs to stopharassing the wolf. He freed a rabbit from a trap, returned caught fishto their stream, and fed half-frozen bees in winter-time.
I hope that Pope Francis will inspire Catholics and all persons ofgoodwill to show non-human animals the respect and compassion they sorichly deserve, particularly when it comes to subsidizing their abuseand slaughter for food at the checkout counter. Joining the MeatlessMondays trend may be a good start.

Ia = 24mA ("mid-range" DC plate current value measured in Maxi-Matcher)
Va = 400 VDC (Maxi-Matcher's given plate voltage)
Vg1 = -48 VDC (Maxi-Matcher's given control grid voltage)
An audio frequency generator was used to sweep from 10Hz to 20kHz with the input voltage measured at the 6L6GC control grid (g1) and the output voltage measured at the output transformer's secondary winding while connect to an 8 ohm load. The 50Hz measurement was used for Lows, 700Hz for mids and 6kHz for highs.
A Comparison of Current Production 6L6GC Tubes
Also included in this comparison are direct substitutes for the 6L6GC including: KT66 and 5881.
6L6GC Basics
The beam power part tells us that the tube, as RCA put it, "is a tetrode or pentode in which directed electron beams are used to increase substantially the power-handling capability of the tube. A feature of a beam power tube is its low screen-grid current. Because of the effective suppressor action provided by space charge and because of the low current drawn by the screen grid, the beam power tube has the advantages of high power output, high power sensitivity, and high efficiency." The 6L6GC is a type of beam power tube employing a beam-confining electrode at cathode potential in place of an actual suppressor grid.

Skill Level Beginner
If you want to jazz up your text a little bit you can apply and then customize a style or use a full title template. I show you how to do all of the above in this movie. Let's work with the title that we had in the previous movie, although I have edited it a little bit. Remember to open it up you've got to go down to the Timeline and double-click it here. You can't double-click it up here so I have added it down here and double-click it, that opens up the Title tool. I'm going to select this text, I can click on the Selection tool and just select all that text. And now I'm going to open up this little tool here called Color Properties.
It's in this little floating dialog box, drag it out of the way a bit. Now there a few things you can do here and there's one thing you can't do. And the one thing you can't do is you can't add a stroke. Only way you can work with a stroke is if you select a style over here that has a stroke in it, but I want to take this sort of difficult route first and then we'll take the easier route later. First thing you can do is add a fill, so I'll click on Fill and then just change the color. Pick a color you like, right. Simple enough, if I pick blue it's going to disappear so I will take a thing like red, you can move this guy around.
These little options here tell you that you can have invisible font, which is actually kind of cool if you have a border around your font. You can make the inside invisible just have the border show up, but here it's all invisible because there is no border. Make it all white, make it all black, or pick a color, whatever you like. So we'll pick with, go with the red guy and then make it kind of reddish, there we go, there we go. Now if I want to add a stroke I would normally click here but I can't, because you have to have a stroke to begin with so that's one little drawback. If I want the color inside here to be a gradient you can select the Gradient from this little drop-down list. A gradient means the color changes over the extent of the text.
A Linear Gradient goes from left to right, but we'll do a 4 Color Gradient just to show you how that works. And know that it switches everybody to white, kind of defaults back to white. And each of these little boxes is called a color stop. If you click on the first color stop that makes it active and then you can pick a color for that color stop and notice how the color shows up already over here. Make it a little darker red so you can see it. Some artists is going to grimace when they see what I am going to make here, but we'll do the best we can. Click on another color stop and pick some other color that's really obviously different. So now we've got two colors across the top of each letter, red and purple, click something down here, maybe yellow, whee, but at least you know what I'm doing.
And I'll click this guy and click go blue I guess, well that's going to blend in the background, I'll go green. There we go. That's the 4 Color Gradient, you can always make a 4 Color Gradient, all being done manually. If you want to add a Drop Shadow click the Drop Shadow box and that adds a drop shadow automatically, but you can change the Distance, the drop shadow makes it look like it's farther away. You can make it a little softer, so it's not quite so emphatic, right, and you can change the Angle over if you want to have it rotate around here. I am going to go back to this Angle of 1 here and see what that does.
Do that again, Angle of 1, let's make that a 180. 1-8-0, tab out of that, there we go, makes it right below the bottom, or make it 135. 1-3-5, there we go, makes it kind off, lower down to the right. So that's the way you can add color, the fill as it's called. All right you can use a Gradient if you want, and a Drop Shadow. Let me to click OK. Now if I really like that I can then save that style. I can click Save Style and call that whatever I want to call it and that will show up in my styles here as an additional style.
I'll call that Jeff's awful color. I'll say that and now if I scroll down all the styles here, there is Jeff's awful color added to the whole group of styles. Let me go back up here though and let's pick a style that we can actually kind of do some more stuff with. All the styles here have a border, with the exception certainly of the first one. So we'll pick something with a border here, like this one. Let me just check and see if that has a border and I'll click over here. OOp! Oh well, picked the wrong one. Let's pick one that has the border like this one, is this a border? Oh, that looks like a border to me. Let's check this guy and see what it says. There we go.
Stroke, and says Stroke 0, you can have more than one stroke depending on the font, but most of these styles have only one stroke. Some have two or three, but we'll just take 1 as 1 here. Once you've got this selected, and then you can start changing the color of the stroke. There we go. Make it obvious, now you can see the color of the stroke around there is purple, eeee, but that you can do. Now you can work with the stroke if you want to and I couldn't do that because I started with the style that had no stroke, but here you can start with a style that has a stroke and then you can adjust the Stroke color here.
I want to show you one more thing. The Drop Shadow by default is always black, but you can have drop shadows that are white. Now one way to do that is to pick a style that has a drop shadow that's other than black. Click on this guy. That gives you white drop shadow. So if you want to have a white drop shadow you need to start with a style that has a white drop shadow and then you can change the style to suit whatever you want, but that saves, that preserves the white drop shadow for you. Let me just show the drop shadow, we'll make it farther away so you can see how that works. All right, now I want to work with templates.
Templates are different than working with the Titling tool. I'll click Done here. Move my Current Time indicator to someplace else and go over to Edit > Titles. Not really a better word would be title templates. These are things that you can use to create, like, graphic borders and then add titles inside them. So I've selected the Entertainment group, there are quite a few different groups here that come with Premiere Elements. And under the Show All you can actually limit it to certain things within each group, but I've got the whole Entertainment group here. I'm going to scroll down to one that I like which is, this guy, the music_pal_s_lower3rd.
I've mentioned the idea of lower 3rds before where you want to put someone's name usually at the bottom of the screen. So once you see one you like you just click on the word Apply, that adds the title right here into your project on the Timeline and then puts the title here in the title tool. Then you can adjust the title here, the titling here. Now if I hover my cursor over it, normally it would turn into a type tool, which indicates, yeah you can start typing here, but it doesn't do that as clearly inside the templates. So I'm going to go click on this guy to select that. And now if I go get the Type tool, when I click inside here, then it'll cooperate.
I can change this to Jeff Sengstack and I could return it and say Teacher, something like that, and have that be in the lower3rd, using that template. As you'll I can put it here, and I'll click away and say Done, and here it is showing up inside our project across the blue background. So adding color, strokes, drop shadows is almost a given when working with titles, and templates give your project visual flair.

We performed an analysis of the correlation of the stock prices of the companies that we have covered over the last two years to the broader stock market. Based on the price movements in the selected stocks and S&P 500 over the last decade, we mapped the pattern seen in the degree of correlation that is exhibited when there are changes in the overall market direction owing to change in the "perceived" macro-situation.
For the purpose of our analysis, we divided the total period under consideration (December 31, 2000 till August 31, 2010) in to four sub-periods reflecting four different market sentiments:
- Pre-crisis- Dec 31, 2000 -Dec 31, 2007 – Long-term
- Financial crisis- Jan 01, 2008 to March 09, 2009
- Rally – March 10, 2009 to April 30, 2010
- Correction – May 01, 2010 to Present
Based on the daily prices of the stocks and S&P 500 in the aforesaid periods, we calculated the following metrics to analyze the degree of correlation as well the relative price movements:
- Correlation coefficient
- Beta
- Annualized volatility
- Ratio between stock volatility and S&P 500 volatility
- Annualized return
- Z-score – calculated by dividing annualized return by annualized volatility
- Ratio between stock z-score and S&P 500 z-score
Based on the matrix obtained, we have the following key observations:
- Correlation – The movements of the selected stock prices are becoming increasingly aligned to the broader market movements as reflected in the increase in the correlation coefficients of the daily returns of the selected stocks to the daily returns of S&P 500. The correlation during the financial crisis period (Jan 01, 2008 to March 09, 2009) and the subsequent rally (March 10, 2009 to April 30, 2010) was substantially larger than the correlation observed in the pre-crisis period. The correlation during the recent correction phase (May 01, 2010 to present) has been even larger. One can hazard a guess that the primary rationale behind this increased correlation is that the selected stock set which primarily contain REITs and the bank stocks are the ones which are most influenced by the turn of events in the mortgage market and the overall financial system which are the heart of the current economic slowdown).
- Volatility – The volatility in the daily returns of the selected stocks spiked substantially during the financial crisis. Comparing the volatility seen in the selected stocks with volatility seen in the broader market, it is observed that the increase in volatility in these stocks was multi-fold when compared with increase in the volatility in the broader market. The same can be easily seen in the ratio of stock volatility and S&P 500 volatility. The increase was particularly large in banks (PNC, STI, WFC, GS, MS, JPM, BBVA) and insurance (HIG, REITs (GGP, MAC) and monoline insurers (NYSE:AGO).
The volatility moderated across the selected stock set in the subsequent rally phase, but on a relative basis (compared to the volatility in the overall market), the volatility in the stocks still remained at very high levels.
The volatility during the recent correction phase has further moderated but volatility of certain stocks including STI, HOT, FRO, BBVA, HIG, AGO, USG and GET remain at high levels
- Beta – Beta, which measures the change in stock return per unit change in market return, is a function of correlation of the stock returns to market returns and the ratio of stock volatility to market volatility (Beta = Correlation coefficient X Ratio of stock volatility to market volatility). Thus, this systematic risk can increase either due to increase in correlation (stock being more aligned to the general market movements) or increase in the relative volatility of the stock against the volatility in the broader market (due to stock specific issues).
Comparing across the sub-periods, it is observed that the beta of the selected stocks was the highest during the rally phase showing that the relative stock movement was higher when the market was rising than when the markets were falling (during financial crisis and the recent correction phase). On bifurcating the increase in beta into the two components – increase in correlation and increase in ratio of stock volatility to market volatility, it is observed that although the correlation has been consistently increasing across most of the stocks, the change in the ratio of stock volatility to market volatility is behind the change in the beta during different sub-periods. Thus, it can be concluded that although the movements in the stocks are becoming increasingly aligned to the market movements, the change in the stock volatility vis-à-vis market volatility is dictating the relative stocks' performance vis-à-vis the broader market under different market sentiments.
The relative volatility of the stock's returns vis-à-vis broader market under a particular market sentiment is determined by the stock specific issues as well as the base effect (The base effect can be explained with help of a example. For example, a stock A was trading at $100 at the beginning of financial crisis and fell 60% during the financial crisis phase. The market index B was trading at 1000 at the beginning of financial crisis and fell 30% during the financial crisis phase.Thus, during the financial crisis, the computed beta for the stock during financial crisis phase will be 2.0 ( i.e 60%/30%). However, if the market recovers to the pre-financial crisis level, the stock will have to increase by 150% and the market by 43%, implying beta of 3.5). The base effect partly explains the high beta observed in the rally phase (March 10, 2009 to April 30, 2010) against the beta during the financial crisis phase (Jan 01, 2008 to March 09, 2009).
- Returns – We calculated the annualized returns of the stocks during the four sub periods based on the closing price at the beginning and end of each period and have compared the same with the annualized return of the S&P 500. It is observed that ratio was higher for the rally phase (March 10, 2009 to April 30, 2010) than the ratio for the financial crisis phase (Jan 01, 2008 to March 09, 2009). The same can be largely a result of the base effect, explained earlier.
It is further observed that negative movement seen in the stocks in the recent correction phase (May 01, 2010 to present) is in most cases, multifold the decline in market decline. The same is again due to beta > 1 which reflects a relatively larger negative impact of the change in market sentiment on the selected stocks than the impact on market as a whole. The stocks with highest declines during the correction phase include USG, AGO, HIG, WFC, WFSL, FRO, PNC and STI.
- Z-score – We calculated the z-score to analyze the return per unit of volatility to evaluate these stocks as a potential hedge under a given scenario. The ratio of the z-score of stocks to the z-score of S&P 500 reflects the relative performance vis-à-vis market. However, since these stocks are highly volatile, the z-score of these stocks in the downtrend (financial crisis phase) and uptrend (rally phase) are very low. However, during the recent correction phase, the decline per unit of volatility has been quite high in some stocks which are available in the subscriber PDF attachment here: Market Correlation Analysis (available to all paying subscribers, click here to subscribe)
We have also looked at the banks that we have covered by parsing the latest credit metrics from the company filings. Yes, I am still bearish on the bank shenanigans, bailout games and all. Our findings are interesting and I will be publishing them shortly.

The Handmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood
The Handmaid's Tale Chapter 19 Summary
Birth Day
- The narrator is dreaming that she leaves the Commander's house and goes home to meet her daughter. When she hugs her daughter she realizes she must be dreaming, which makes her cry. Then she awakens in another dream, where she is a child and her mother visits her.
- Then she really wakes up. She wonders if she's being drugged and decides she's not crazy yet.
- She looks at her "FAITH" pillow and wonders if there are others in the set, then goes downstairs and sits in a chair. There she thinks about the meaning of "chair" while having a breakfast of eggs and toast.
- The narrator meditates on the egg. Her situation makes her doubt even the small pleasure she finds in the egg. She wishes she had something of her own.
- Then she hears a siren; it's a red ambulance. Cora gets her and she gets ready to go. The narrator speeds outside and gets in the Birthmobile. Three other Handmaids are also in it. One of them, crying tears of joy, hugs the narrator. The person giving birth is Ofwarren (Janine).
- On birth days the Handmaids have more freedom than usual.
- The narrator hopes the baby will be healthy and whole. Even if it's not, abortion is illegal so Ofwarren would have to have it anyway. Pollution, catastrophes, and "mutant" syphilis have led to widespread infertility, so for a baby to be born unhealthy, as an Unbaby, is a tragedy.
- Some women, rather than be in the Handmaid's position, made themselves infertile. The narrator remembers Aunt Lydia lecturing the Center women about this.
- The narrator flashes back to another lecture by Aunt Lydia at the Center, when she told them about their special task. The narrator focuses on graffiti on her desk while Aunt Lydia talks.
- Aunt Lydia says the women are like pearls, and the narrator thinks about how she will make fun of that with Moira.
- The flashback ends, and the Birthmobile arrives. The narrator and the other women get out. Doctors have to wait outside; they can only attend the birth if there's an emergency.
- The narrator remembers Aunt Lydia saying how awful births with doctors and technology used to be. Now it's all natural, all women, with no anesthetic. At the Center they heard about that part of Genesis every day at lunch.
- Another car (this one blue) is approaching, with all the Wives in it. The narrator imagines that Serena Joy has been to this house before, that Ofwarren (Janine) got special treatment, but that the Wives treated her like a pet or a dog. That afterwards, they'd commiserate with each other about how tough it was for them. She imagines Ofwarren sent upstairs, not thinking at all.
