All of a sudden charming CTL rise has fallen from grace.
Any clue for bottom support? Want to buy, but not until price settles down.
I'm praying for 38.00.
There's a rurual telecom earnings for companies all lower than expected. Then this merger might be a challenge.
For this stock to have a value, it first has to fall into the abyss of infinite leverage. The balance sheet will be extremely poor, as I have written many times. I combined the two companies and there is no way out of this whole but to use all of the cash flow they have to repay debt and pay for network integration, staff layoffs, and new network build. I just don't see any room for a divdiend, and I am so suprised the analyst community just sits back without a clue. It is a sell rating, and I appreciate what you posted. Everyone has a sell number, but not a buy number. The impression is it might be time now. I doubt it. IT will fall when the first analyst gavel hits.
Data provided ok, but also look at the stock price and graph as indication something is not kosher here.
Because CTL stock price went 46+ to 40 since 1/3/11, time to be cautious.
Will you buy more shares if CTL went to 38, then 35?
Everyone also has a target sell price, unless, they'll hold forever.
The merger of CTL and Q will be a challenge; to grow the company through landline when cell phones is the new tech will not be easy!
Say what...????? Here is CTL's latest quarterly news.
Added nearly 29,000 high-speed Internet customers during the quarter and ended 2010 with 2,394,000 high-speed Internet customers.
Generated free cash flow (as defined in the attached financial schedules) of $342 million in fourth quarter
2010, excluding nonrecurring items of $7.1 million and $9.1 million of acquisition related capital expenditures.
Achieved approximately $85 million in synergies from the Embarq acquisition during fourth quarter 2010and ended 2010 with estimated annual run rate synergies of more than $340 million.
4th quarter cash flow was only down $79 million - mainly affected by merger with Quest.
Looks good to me - I don't see anything that would stop me from buying more.
As a comparable, WIN was up 1.56% but it is going toward ex-dividend. After ex-dividend, WIN will drop hard to something like $10. Why is CTL not performing? Because there are very serious questions over the potential profitabiliy of the combined enterprise (CTL and Qwest) on the back of a very week balance sheet. I wouldn't buy it until October after two quarters of combined results. There are better things to buy, so why stay with this one when all you have are questions. There is also a risk of downgrade(s). If you go in, wait till it three or four positive upward days.
CTL has gone up, but the gains aren't as big as in the past, especially on a rebound day. Should have been up from 0.60 - 0.90, but only about 0.25 compared to rest of market.
That's why, I'll wait for conviction before going back in 100%.
One day doesn't make a trend and the day is not over. This stock is not going up. There is no reason for it to go up.
CenturyLink, Inc. (CTL): Telecom Services Industry. Market cap of $12.15B. RSI(14) at 26.06. BVPS at $31.91, diluted EPS at $3.13. Graham number = sqrt(22.5 x $31.91 x $3.13) = $63.25. Current price at $40.05 (implies a potential upside of 36.68%). Short float at 9.16%, which implies a short ratio of 6.45 days. The stock has gained 24.92% over the last year.
I'm also under the assumption CTL management does not reduce the divvy - any hints it will be maintained?
I'll buy my 1/2 position now in the correction market; 1/2 if it goes lower in March.
$38......???? I don't think so. Maybe $39.40 is good for you if it goes that low. CTL is currently just below its 200 MA, it won't stay there for long so if your joining the rest of us, you should be coming aboard now. I sincerely doubt that it goes below $39.50, but that is only MHO.
CTL missed their earnings. There is nothing in the near term to support this stock. Should go down for another month at least. I am hoping for $35. That is where I bought it the last time. Maybe a month before the next dividend it will start back up. Lot more pain in this stock.

This invention relates to methods and apparatus for electrical energy management.
More particularly, the invention pertains to methods and apparatus for adjusting the total demand of a circuit which includes a plurality of loads, including resistive loads, to achieve optimum utilization of the allowable power available to a circuit which is demand-limited.
In a further aspect, the invention concerns methods and apparatus whereby a demand-limited alternating current circuit which includes resistive loads can be regulated to avoid totally shedding one or more resistive loads when the total demand, including uncontrolled loads, exceeds the demand limit.
Various energy management systems have been proposed which require or at least attempt to persuade utility customers to limit their electrical energy consumption as a means of reducing their overall utility bills. According to one such proposal, the maximum load ("demand") which each customer is allowed to place on the utility's power generation facilities is arbitrarily limited. Although this "peak usage curtailment" approach is partially effective in reducing the customer's overall utility bills, it has several decided disadvantages. The customer, especially a residential user, loses a degree of flexibility in selecting and using various electrical appliances, etc., in his residence and to this extent, the peak usage curtailment program has direct and often undesirable impact on the customer's lifestyle. Secondly, the utility itself may find that the reduction in total electrical energy consumption reduces the utility's revenue to the point that it must, in turn, raise the utility charge per unit of electrical power consumed to the point that the user's electrical utility bills may even exceed the bills he customarily received before his power usage was curtailed.
In a variation of the peak usage curtailment approach, each residential customer is allowed to choose his own demand limit and is encouraged to set his own limit to the lowest possible value by imposing considerably higher rates for power used during the utility's peak demand periods. Thus, each consumer can decide for himself the extent to which peak usage curtailment programs will be allowed to interfere with his lifestyle.
Whether a demand limit is arbitrarily imposed by the utility or set by the customer, the demand limiting energy management methods and apparatus of the prior art react by automatically shedding loads until the total demand of the circuit is reduced to below the demand limit. In the ideal situation, the value of the load or loads shed would be just equal to the amount by which the actual demand exceeds the demand limit. However, in practice, this rarely occurs and in the more typical situation, the value of the load or loads shed is greater than the excess demand. Thus, when these loads are shed, the resultant actual demand imposed by the remaining loads in operation falls significantly below the demand limit. This has an undesirable effect on both the consumer and the utility. The consumer is forced to do completely without certain appliances and utilize even less power than he is allowed by the demand limit, thus undesirably affecting his lifestyle. From the utility company's stand-point, a reduction in the actual load to below the demand limit is undesirable because its revenues are lowered even though it must keep power generation facilities on line to satisfy the demand limits of all of its customers.
Accordingly, it would be highly desirable to provide methods and apparatus for use in connection with demand-limit circuits which would function to enable each power consumer to utilize a higher percentage of the allowable power available under his particular demand limit.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide energy management methods and apparatus which enable a demand-limited circuit, operating close to its demand limit, to respond to additional demands or a reduction in demand limit in ways other than by completely shedding one or more loads in the circuit.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide such methods and apparatus which allow a demand-limited circuit to respond to increased demands or reduction in demand limits in such fashion as to keep the actual demand of the circuit closer to or equal to the demand limit.
These and other, further and more specific objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustrating the operation of the methods and apparatus of the present invention in controlling power usage in a demand-limited residential circuit containing both controlled and uncontrolled resistive and inductive loads;
FIG. 2 is a graphical illustration of the incoming power to the circuit of FIG. 1, the controlled signal which regulates the power supplied to certain of the resistive loads of the circuit and the power actually applied to one of the controlled resistive loads; and
FIG. 3 is a graphical illustration of the power usage in the circuit of FIG. 1 controlled in accordance with the prior art in comparison to a system controlled in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
Briefly, in accordance with the invention, I provide energy management methods and apparatus for use in conjunction with a demand-limited alternating current circuit, which circuit includes a plurality of separate loads, including resistive loads and means for automatically shedding certain of the loads when the actual demand of the circuit exceeds the demand limit.
The method and apparatus of the present invention include the steps of and means for establishing a demand limit for the circuit, sensing the actual demand of those loads in the circuit which are then in operation, including sensing the demands imposed by at least certain of the operative resistive loads in the circuit, and reducing the duty cycle of the applied power furnished to at least certain ones of the operative resistive loads to effect an overall reduction in the actual demand of the circuit when the failure to make such reduction would otherwise cause certain of the operating loads to be completely shed. The duty cycle of the applied power furnished to the selected operative resistive loads is reduced by switching the loads off and on synchronously with the zero points of the applied voltage.
The methods and apparatus of the invention make use of the fact that the power consumed by a resistive load is directly reduced by reducing the duty cycle of the alternating current supplied to the load. Thus, for example, the power consumed by an electrical hot water heater will be reduced by 10% by reducing the duty cycle of the current to the heating element by 10% by subtracting 6 cycles per second from the normal 60 cps current to 54 cycles per second. Thus, if the desired reduction in the total demand of a circuit can be effected by this technique rather than by completely shedding the water heater load, the consumer can still have hot water (in reduced volume) and yet the utility company's revenues are not reduced by the full normal demand of the water heater but only by 10%.
Turning now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a typical residential circuit 11 consisting of uncontrolled resistive loads RU and uncontrolled inductive loads LU and controlled resistive loads R1, R2 . . . Rn, and controlled inductive loads L1, L2 . . . Ln. Incoming power from the utility transmission lines 12 passes through a load sensor 13 which measures the total current applied to all of the loads in the circuit 11 and is transmitted directly to the uncontrolled loads through electrical conductors 14. Power to the controlled loads is transmitted via conductor 15 to a load control system 16 which contains a load control device ("LC") for each of the controlled resistive and inductive loads of the circuit 11. The load control devices for the inductive loads, LCL.sbsp.1, LCL.sbsp.2 . . . LCL.sbsp.n (preferably relays) pass current directly from the conductor 15 to the inductive loads L1, L2 . . . Ln in response to receipt of command signals 17 from the logic of a microprocessor 18. Power from the conductor 15 is passed through duty cycle control devices (TRIACs) and then to the resistive loads R1, R2 . . . Rn. The microprocessor logic receives information as to the frequency of the incoming power from a transformer 19 which generates a frequency information signal 21 and from the load sensor 13 which generates and tramsmits a total actual demand signal 22. Load priority and demand-limit information is entered by the utility and/or consumer at the control panel 23 which generates demand-limit and add-shed priority signals 24. The microprocessor generates ON-OFF signals 25 which control the operation of the TRIACs.
In operation, the system of FIG. 1 operates as follows. The microprocessor senses which of the controlled resistive and inductive loads are actually in operation and the value of those operative loads. The microprocessor also reads the total demand signal 22. If the total demand exceeds the preselected demand limit, the microprocessor scans the operative resistive loads and according to customer-selected priority, determines whether a reduction in power to one or more of the operative controlled resistive loads can be effected to reduce the actual demand to the value equal to the demand limit. The microprocessor then selects a percentage reduction in the duty cycle of the power to be supplied to the controlled operative resistive loads and generates ON-OFF signals to the TRIACs of the resistive loads selected for duty cycle reduction. The TRIACs react to the ON-OFF commands from the microprocessor to "steal" cycles from the incoming power and apply the reduced duty cycle power to the selected controlled resistive loads.
The operation of the system is further illustrated by reference to FIG. 2 which is a graphic comparison of the incoming power, TRIAC control signals and power applied to a resistive load. As is well known to those skilled in the art, a TRIAC reacts to a "CURRENT OFF" signal applied at any point in the power (or current) cycle to cause the current to be interrupted the next time the current and voltage passes through zero and reacts to a "POWER ON" signal to conduct current any time the ON signal is applied. By proper timing of the application of the ON and OFF signals to the TRIAC, one can then subtract entire cycles from the incoming power and proportionately reduce the power consumption of the load. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 2, if the OFF signal 31 is applied to the TRIAC at any time during the last half of the incoming power cycle A, power will be applied to the load during the entire cycle A. However, when the incoming power during the last half of cycle A passes through zero, the TRIAC will interrupt the current flow. An "ON" control signal 32 applied at the beginning of cycle C will cause the TRIAC to conduct and power cycle C will be applied to the load. It will be understood to those skilled in the art that the ON signal 32 could be applied at any portion of the incoming power cycle B, causing the TRIAC to conduct and applying power to the load. However, in order to avoid generating voltage or current transients, the ON signal 32 is applied as the incoming voltage power and current passed through zero at the commencement of cycle C. The points at which cycles are subtracted from the incoming power can be spaced apart to minimize the effect of the duty cycle reduction on the resistive load so as, for example, to avoid flickering of banks of incandescent lights. For example, with an incoming 60-cycle signal, the microprocessor logic would preferably generate command signals to a TRIAC to subtract one cycle every 10 cycles, in order to effect a 10% reduction in the power applied to the load.
The effect of the methods and apparatus of the invention on the consumption in a typical residential circuit is illustrated in FIG. 3. It is assumed that the residential consumer has selected a 10 KW demand limit and it is assumed that the combination of controlled and uncontrolled loads in operation in his residence imposes an actual demand of 8 KW, as shown during period A. Finally, it is assumed that according to user-selected priority, the first load to be shed in the event of an increase in demand to above the demand limit is a 6 KW resistive load.
At the beginning of period B, it is assumed that another uncontrolled load of 3 KW is placed in operation by the consumer. In a non-demand-limited circuit, this would cause the demand to rise to the total of 11 KW, as indicated by the dashed line 31. In a demand-limited circuit of the prior art, the 6 KW load selected by the consumer would be automatically shed, reducing the actual demand of the entire residential circuit to only 5 KW, depriving the consumer entirely of the use of the 6 KW load and reducing the utility company's revenues because the demand-limited system could only respond to the increased demand by completely shedding the 6 KW load.
However, by contrast, an energy management system embodying the present invention would react to the situation by simply reducing the power applied to the 6 KW resistive load by 16+%, thus reducing the total demand from 11 KW to 10 KW, the demand limit, and the consumer retains the use at 90% of its capacity of the nominal 6 KW load and the utility company actually obtains increased revenue, as indicated by the power shaded area 32 representing power actually utilized by the consumer which would not be utilized in accordance with the prior art.

This Article Covers
The IT department will not disappear by 2013 after all, but actually two years earlier because of the recession, says the head of software as a service (SaaS) supplier Nasstar, who predicted the IT department's demise.

The recession will accelerate the use of SaaS as companies attempt to cut costs. This will mean less need for IT management, said Charles Black, CEO at hosted software provider Nasstar. He predicted last year that web-based applications will make the traditional IT department redundant.
He said last year that IT is becoming a utility and the cost of management will be replaced by simple plug and play software over the internet.
But Black has brought the demise of the IT forward. "Since I made that prediction in March 2008 the economy has worsened. We are now officially in recession and the move towards cloud computing has gathered pace considerably as companies look to trim costs without denting efficiency. I now think it is entirely likely the IT department as we know it will be a thing of the past as early as 2011," he said.
"Companies are shifting the overheads of cost, infrastructure and management outside their own four walls and choosing simply to pay for what they use," added Black.

Getting StartedEdit on GitHub
The recommended channel for downloading Cycle.js as a package is through npm. Create a new directory and run this inside that directory:
This installs xstream, Cycle Run using xstream, and Cycle DOM. Packages xstream and Run are the minimum required API to work with Cycle.js. The Run package includes a single function
run(), and Cycle DOM is the standard DOM Driver providing a way to interface with the DOM. You can also use Cycle.js with other stream libraries like RxJS. Your options are:
npm install xstream @cycle/xstream-run(recommended if you don't know what to choose)
npm install rx @cycle/rx-run(for RxJS v4)
npm install rxjs @cycle/rxjs-run(for RxJS v5+)
npm install most @cycle/most-run(for cujo.js most.js)
Packages of the type
@org/package are npm scoped packages, supported if your npm installation is version 2.11 or higher. Check your npm version with
npm --version and upgrade in order to install Cycle.js.
In case you are not dealing with a DOM-interfacing web application, you can omit
@cycle/dom when installing.
First steps
The second line imports the function
run(main, drivers), where
main is the entry point for our whole application, and
drivers is a record of driver functions labeled by some name.
Create the
main function and the
drivers record:
makeDOMDriver(container) from Cycle DOM returns a driver function to interact with the DOM. This function is registered under the key
DOM in the
drivers object above.
Send messages from
main to the
DOM driver:
We have filled the
main() function with some code: returns an object
sinks which has an
xstream stream defined under the name
DOM. This indicates
main() is sending the stream as messages to the DOM driver. Sinks are outgoing messages. The stream emits Virtual DOM
<h1> elements displaying
${i} seconds elapsed changing over time every second, where
${i} is replaced by
2, etc.
Catch messages from
DOM into
main and vice-versa:
main() now takes
sources as input. Just like the output
sinks, the input
sources follow the same structure: an object containing
DOM as a property.
sources.DOM is an object with a queryable API to get streams. Use
sources.DOM.select(selector).events(eventType) to get a stream of
eventType DOM events happening on the element(s) specified by
selector. This
main() function takes the stream of clicks happening on
input elements, and maps those toggling events to Virtual DOM elements displaying a togglable checkbox.
We used the
p() helper functions to create virtual DOM elements for the respective
<p> DOM elements, but you can also use JSX with Babel. The following only works if you are building with Babel: (1) install the npm packages babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx and snabbdom-jsx; (2) specify a pragma for JSX as shown in the following example
.babelrc file:
(3) import Snabbdom JSX as
import {html} from 'snabbdom-jsx';, and then you can utilize JSX:
This example portrays the most common problem-solving pattern in Cycle.js: formulate the computer's behavior as a function of streams: continuously listen to source messages from drivers and continuously provide sinks messages (in our case, Virtual DOM elements) to the drivers. Read the next chapter to get familiar with this pattern.
Quick Start
In the future, you can quickly set up a development and production ready Cycle.js project using the cyc boilerplate.
It comes with babel transpilation, hot-reloading, and an isomorphic server.
Cycle.js as a script
In the rare occasion you need Cycle.js scripts as standalone JavaScript files, you can download them from unpkg:
- Latest Cycle.js xstream run
- Latest Cycle.js most.js run
- Latest Cycle.js RxJS v5 run
- Latest Cycle.js RxJS v4 run
- Latest Cycle.js DOM
- Latest Cycle.js HTTP
- Latest Cycle.js Isolate

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.

Mar 8, 13 at 11:43am ^A Pawn's choice of Skills
Log in to remove this advertisement
Some of it is knowledge based certainly, aiming for enemy weaknesses, using Holy Attacks vs Undead, aiming for a Saurian's tail etc, but beyond that are there any known determining factors as to why they use what they use? Just something I'm curious about...
In the case of both main pawns I've had, each seems to have had their own 'Favourite Skill', almost always leading with it on going into battle. Both Sorcerers primarily, identical inclinations, yet different Skills chosen to be used.
The first loved Necromancy, using it over and over again at the expense of almost everything else. I replaced it in the end since it took too much time to repeatedly cast, and it was annoying she choosing to avoid everything else. On removing it, she started using a variety of spells; none much more so than any other.
My current Pawn loves Blearing and almost without fail runs in shouting "attack once I've blinded it!" etc. Thankfully once the enemy is blind, she then moves on to the other Skills pretty evenly, which works rather well overall since hordes of blind enemies is awesome (except when she insistently tries to blind the undead, which doesn't seem to have much effect, so it doesn't appear to be her being really clever and just blinding the stuff that fares badly when blinded).
My original pawn also had Blearing available, but (despite being very similar) didn't use it that much. Both also have(/had) Lassitude; status related and darkness elementally based like Blearing, but I've hardly ever seen it get used, and not at all by my current Pawn as far as I'm aware.
Pretty random topic haha, but yeah... any theories or own experiences of something similar?

Mar 8, 13 at 3:35pm ^re: A Pawn's choice of Skills
A lot of it is bad programming on the devs side of things. Rummaging through the game files I found that your pawns have a meter for all their AI functions, the stuff like challenger, mitigator, etc etc. First off, only a particular amount of powers have been thoroughly matched with the beastiary in the game. This means that the the AI function bars that relate to 'using what works' will be weighed on experience from killing that type of enemy repeatedly (monster knowledge), having the actual power that's been pre-coded to be 'favored' by a pawn to identify it as an ability to use against a monster's weakness, and finally if your AI function is even high enough for the chance roll to even kick in often enough.
The other issue is weighting pre-coded powers against other pre-coded powers. If fire is identified as a weakness and you have like 3 fire related spells, the pawn will simply favor the most powerful, which often means they try to cast magic with the longest charge time and often get interrupted. It's for this reason my mages are set up with only level 1 powers to ensure they can cast 'something'. Some level 2 powers aren't too bad either.
As for oddball powers like exequy, high exequy and others have >not< been coded as a 'weakness' spell for any monsters at all, and if you use a plethora of these 'random' spells a pawn will easily get confused trying to cast things in a manner that is less than effective (like attempting to cast exequy on a dragon, which would take like fifty years to even work).
Essentially Capcom rushed it, so the most magic spells out there that are the most useful for an AI pawn are the most basic elemental ones. The player can get away with strategic thinking, but the AI is just durrrrrrrr.
All pawns are going to be different as they will be used by other players and acquire knowledge of enemies, and will attempt to use powers and abilities that enemies are weak to when they can.
Unfortunately buff spells are generically coded to be applied at the start of every skirmish, which is why your pawn always attempted to use necromancy at the start of every fight. The most effective i've ever been able to get a sorcerer was by giving them straight up quick damage spells with one extra big ass damage spell like high seism or high bollide and hope to jebus they don't try to cast only that long charge power. As for healers, the heal cast time is so atrocious that I just stopped using it altogether and stuck to eating grass (mooooo).

Mar 9, 13 at 10:26am ^re: A Pawn's choice of Skills
That made for some interesting reading; good to game into the game's head as it were, cheers! Looks to be quite a complex system but one that conflicts with itself far too regularly, thus often dumming down the Pawn intelligence overall anyway... it's epic when it works, but as you say, aside from the most basic stuff, they often seem to get muddled/do odd things.
Ah, I'd not thought of Necromancy as a buff spell; that does then make sense as to why it always ended up being used - pity really as I quite liked it (especially against packs of wolves etc), but it tended to end up that either the fight was over before the spell kicked in, or the 'summoned skulls' would be 'used up' so quick that she'd go straight into casting another. Not good...
Perhaps Lassitude is another of those 'un-programmed' spells like Exequy then? Since I've always got something else more 'favoured', she doesn't touch it. I'm pretty sure that I've already read a Wolf tactics scroll that said something along the lines of 'putting them under Torpor is great', but she's never acted upon that.
Regarding the Blearing, I kept a close eye on her today and it seems like there may be something knowledge based going on as she wasn't using it against Wolves. For Goblins/Hobgoblins, Saurians/Sulphur Saurians, Undead/Undead Warriors, Skeletons, Bandits and Ogres, Blearing was almost always her first move (and then followed up with elemental stuff), but Wolves she skipped to Fire. Seems strange overall, but I'm good with that; makes me chuckle seeing (nearly) everything flail around aimlessly.
I do plan on trying out Maelstrom on getting her up another rank (too much fun to miss haha) and shall be intrigued as to whether that may have an effect on her Blearing obsession, what with they both being Darkness based and Maelstrom naturally being the more powerful. Might as well replace Lassitude with something after all...
& as for the elemental spells, I've got a range right now, 1 of each element, 1 of each 'tier' (Levin, Comestion, Gicel) to try and cover everything. I can see that dropping down to Frigor would likely be more 'useful' however (Frazil seems a bit sucky though), but as of right now for where I am in the game, it's Fire that most things are weak against, and thus the Ice is seldom used anyway.
So by 'spell level', are you referring to like Ingle vs Comestion or Ingle vs High Ingle?

How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
There are a number of different options to create the necessary flat and level surface, and we're going to take you through four of them. All are ideal to prevent water collecting around the shed floor and damaging it. These four methods are how to lay:
- a timber frame base (also known as a portabase)
- a plastic base
- a paved area base, and
- a concrete slab base
Both paved and concrete bases can't be laid straight onto soft ground and so require a sub-base. A concrete base also has a further extra step - constructing the frame or edging that supports concrete while it sets, this is known as formwork. So do bear in mind that these options can take longer to build than the timber frame and plastic bases.
Simply choose the one for you and read through the step-by-step advice on how to lay your shed base.

About us
While Isuzu has been producing cars since 1918, it really came into its own after World War II, when its vehicles played a major role in Japan's reconstruction. By 1971, Isuzu had formed a partnership with General Motors, and four years later, Isuzu Motors America Inc. was established. In America, Isuzu's biggest contributions were the Trooper and Rodeo, two vehicles that helped fuel the SUV craze in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
While slow sales caused Isuzu to abandon the US market in 2009, the manufacturer still maintains a strong Asian presence thanks to its quality line of heavy-duty trucks. Learn more about Isuzu's trucks and SUVs by browsing the models below. The Trooper is a truck-based SUV that became popular throughout the 1990s thanks to its spaciousness and off-road capabilities. Another pioneer in the SUV world, is the Rodeo became America's best-selling import SUV because of its tough, rugged image. While the Ascender SUV is an affordable alternative to GM's Chevy TrailBlaizer.

No, the headline is not a misprint. According to CNBC, the Federal Reserve bought approximately 80 percent of the U.S. Treasury securities issued in 2009. In other words, the Federal Reserve has been gobbling up the massive tsunami of U.S. government debt that has been created over the past year. This is absolutely unprecedented, and it is yet another clear indication that the U.S. financial system is on the verge of a major economic collapse.
You see, the Federal Reserve is not part of the federal government. In fact, the Federal Reserve is about as "federal" as Federal Express is.
The Federal Reserve is a private bank owned and operated for profit by a very powerful group of elite international bankers.
It is this private central bank that controls the money supply and the issuance of currency in the United States.
When the U.S. government needs to borrow more money (which happens a lot) they go over to the Federal Reserve and they ask them for some more green pieces of paper called Federal Reserve Notes.
The Federal Reserve swaps these green pieces of paper for pink pieces of paper called U.S. Treasury bonds.
Now normally the Federal Reserve takes these U.S. Treasury bonds and they sell them all to other buyers.
But in 2009 there were not nearly enough buyers.
So in 2009 the Federal Reserve sold itself about 80 percent of this debt.
This is even being admitted on CNBC. The video below is from January 8th, and at the 1:45 mark CNBC anchor Erin Burnett drops this bombshell along with a comment about how it is a Ponzi scheme....

Self-Portrait is a medium-size portrait on canvas that is thickly painted in oils in predominant tones of yellow, red and black. The work is a self-portrait showing the British artist Leon Kossoff as a young man, aged approximately twenty-six years old. Kossoff's head and neck fill the entire canvas, although he is not immediately recognisable from the work largely due to the loose handling of the brushwork that has resulted in the features appearing blurred and distorted. As such the painting is less a portrait in a conventional sense than an intense evocation of a young man's expression and emotion, devoid of any social contact or context.
This painting was created by Kossoff in London in c.1952. It is painted on a slightly open-weave linen canvas, the texture of which Kossoff has employed as part of the surface of the work. In most areas the paint has been applied straight from the tube in multiple layers using a wet-on-wet technique to create visible impasto and a blending of pictorial forms. However, this effect is not uniform, and in some places the paint is much thinner, for instance in the area just to the right of Kossoff's chin. Kossoff also made use of the brush handle to scrape back through paint layers, as in the strong diagonal line visible in the neck area.
Kossoff made Self-Portrait when he was undertaking art classes at St Martin's School of Art, London. Between 1950 and 1952 Kossoff also attended evening classes at Borough Polytechnic in London under the tutelage of the British painter David Bomberg. Kossoff found the emphasis on looser brushwork and composition in Bomberg's lessons a revelation in comparison to the academic formality at St Martin's, stating in 1995 that 'Although I had painted most of my life, it was through my contact with Bomberg that I felt I might actually function as a painter. Coming to Bomberg's class was like coming home' (quoted in Paul Moorhouse, Leon Kossoff, exhibition catalogue, Tate Gallery, London 1996, p.12).
Kossoff made several self-portraits during his career, as well as paintings of other sitters, and was himself painted by his close friend and contemporary, the British painter Frank Auerbach (see Portrait of Leon Kossoff 1951, Tate L02669). Auerbach and Kossoff first met in the Antique Room at St Martin's in 1948 and became lifelong friends and colleagues. They moved on to study together at London's Royal College of Art and continued to work closely, observing London street scenes, studying paintings at the National Gallery and becoming associated with the loosely defined group of artists known as the School of London. Auerbach's Portrait of Leon Kossoff has a similar composition to Self-Portrait in the way that it enlarges and focuses on Kossoff's head, and was painted from life around the time that the two artists were attending Bomberg's classes. The brushwork in both paintings is indicative of the young artists' developing expressionist style, including the sculptural layering of loaded brushstrokes. Furthermore, the close-up composition that excludes contextual detail in Self-Portrait and is seen in Kossoff's work more generally has led critic and curator Poul Eric Tøjner to comment that the world shown in Kossoff's canvases 'is wrenched free of its origin and quite simply becomes the universe. There is nothing outside. There is nothing behind, before or after … Kossoff's work insists on its own time and its own space.' (Tøjner in Juul and Kold (eds.) 2004, p.5.)
Kossoff has often painted the same subjects, people and places repeatedly throughout his career. Following an interview with the artist at his studio in 2000, the curator Klaus Kertess recorded that:
charcoal drawings precede each painting and continue during the course of his working; it is through drawing that the subject achieves presence and place. Kossoff refers to his act of painting as 'enriched drawing'.
(Kertess 2000, p.10.)
The relationship between Self-Portrait and an early Kossoff charcoal portrait Head c.1957 (Tate T06985) could be seen to demonstrate this concept of 'enriched drawing'. Here, as in Self-Portrait, the subject's face and neck are the sole focus and the resemblance to the sitter is of secondary importance to the material handling of the charcoal – an emphasis that manifests itself in paintings such as Self-Portrait through the thick presence of the paint on the canvas as the result of impasto application.

How couch, tennis balls led Andrew Benintendi to catch of his life
|08.22.16 at 11:49 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It was an exercise virtually every kid executes in their living room. All you need is a ball and a piece of furniture. Good thing for Andrew Benintendi, he was no exception.
"I remember when I was a kid I would throw a tennis ball up over my couch and jump over it and catch it to practice," the Red Sox rookie recalled.
It finally paid off.
Benintendi made the catch of the season Monday night at Tropicana Field, robbing Tampa Bay's Steven Souza Jr. of a two-run home run in the eighth inning that would have cut the Sox' lead to a run. Instead, it sent a bolt of adrenaline through the now-first-place Red Sox, helping propel the visitors to a 6-2 win over the Rays.
"That was the best one by far," the 22-year-old said. "I've never had a chance to do that. It's something I've talked about doing but never got the chance. It was fun to do."
Making the moment happen was the fact that Benintendi had moved over to left field from center to begin the inning. So when Souza's ball started tailing just inside the foul pole, the left-handed outfielder had the advantage of not having to reach across his body.
Another subtle help in making the play? A well-placed piece of furniture that prevented Benintendi from falling over the wall.
"There was a table, and if that wasn't there I don't know what would have happened," he said.
Closing Time: David Price's pitching, Andrew Benintendi's defense highlight another Red Sox win
|08.22.16 at 10:24 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — In case you haven't noticed, this year's David Price is starting to look a little more like last year's David Price.
For the third straight start, the Red Sox starter was in complete control, this time dominating his former team, the Rays, for eight innings. Price only allowed two hits while striking out eight and walking a pair, leading his team to a 6-2 win. In his last three outings, the lefty has given up just four runs over 22 innings.
Making the start a bit more impressive was the fact that this was a Tampa Bay club that came into Monday night having won six of its last seven. The Red Sox, conversely, now have won nine of their last 11 games while improving to 6-2 on the current 11-game road trip.
This was the Price so many marveled during the final two months of the 2015 regular season. In case you forgot, it was August and September of 2015 that Price really got rolling, posting a 9-1 record and 2.30 ERA in the final two months of the regular season while pitching for the Blue Jays.
The outing was second straight standout start against the Rays by Price, who had shutout Kevin Cash's team over eight innings the last time they met.
The game could have been a lot closer, however, if it wasn't for Andrew Benintendi's incredible catch in the eighth inning. Red Sox manager John Farrell leaving Price in for another inning, Tim Beckham led off the frame with a single.
Steven Souza Jr. proceeded to launch a Price pitch deep into the left field corner, seemingly long enough for a two-run blast. But Benintendi, who had moved over from center field to start the inning, leaped over the wall, folded his body over the padding, and grabbed what would have been a sure home run.
If all goes well Tuesday, Steven Wright to start Friday night
|08.22.16 at 6:54 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Steven Wright threw a bullpen Sunday and for the first time since injuring his right shoulder felt no pain. He tossed a bit on the mound at Tropicana Field Monday and, once again, was pain-free.
Now comes the final test.
On Tuesday, Wright will throw an extended bullpen session, simulating the ups and downs of a game. If that goes like the previous two days, then he will be returning to the rotation. Specifically, the knuckleballer tentatively is slated to start for the Red Sox against the Royals on Friday night at Fenway Park.
"It feels normal," Wright said. "I'm just trying to get my release point back. If everything progresses the way it's been, I see no reason why I wouldn't be ready to pitch."
Wright hasn't pitched since Aug. 5, when he threw a complete-game three-hitter against the Dodgers. Two days later, the righty was injured when diving back into second base while serving as a pinch-runner.
For the season, Wright is 13-5 with a 3.01 ERA.
It's looking like Koji Uehara might be able to help this season after all
|08.22.16 at 6:43 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — While Koji Uehara seemingly has started to recover quicker than anticipated from the right pectoral strain that put him on the 15-day disabled list July 20, the Red Sox have made it a point to reel in the optimism most of the time.
But with Uehara slated to throw off a mound Tuesday afternoon for the first time since his injury, the idea of the 41-year-old returning to help this season is looking more realistic than ever.
"I don't know when game action is even projected at this point. [Tuesday] is another real positive step for him," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "We'll see. In the past Koji has gone through good years and been very productive when he's had minimal spring training, if at all. I don't want to discount the need for some game action, but the fact that he's getting back to the mound is a good thing."
Uehara hasn't pitched since walking off the mound when pitching to his second batter in the Red Sox' July 19 game against the Giants.
Prior to his injury he had been pitching better, going four straight outings without allowing a run. For the season, Uehara's ERA stands at 4.50, having converted six of eight save chances.
Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez, one of the few pitchers to experience the same injury as Uehara, offered some insight in recovering from the ailment when talking to WEEI.com's Ryan Hannable.
Eduardo Rodriguez explains what went wrong leading up to Sunday's start, what it means going forward
|08.22.16 at 6:19 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eduardo Rodriguez admitted Sunday was not one his better days.
"Yeah, because I know it was partly my fault," the Red Sox pitcher said of his team's 10-5 loss to the Tigers, in which replacement starter Henry Owens was roughed up for eight runs in five innings. "I was supposed to pitch that game. I feel bad but I have to get ready for the next one."
The lefty started that process of returning from his hamstring issue while at Tropicana Field prior to Monday night's game, throwing about 70-80 percent effort level off the mound in the visitors' bullpen under the watchful eye of pitching coach Carl Willis. On Tuesday he will continue the process by tossing a three-inning simulated game.
The way things are going, Rodriguez and Red Sox manager John Farrell both sound like the plan is for the pitcher to make his next start, although that has yet to be scheduled. The optimism, however, remains dependent on Tuesday's exercise.
"We need to test him at more intense levels when compared to a normal bullpen," Farrell said. "He went through treatment today, went out, went through a throwing program, everything is scheduled for that sim game tomorrow. So more than anything, it's not so much to answer the physical side of it, but it's for him to test it at a higher intensity and for him to gain some comfort mentally — that's the biggest key, to go out and have that conviction to pitches to be thrown."
And that brings us to the biggest issue: the mental side of the equation.
The way Rodriguez explained it, the reason for the (as Farrell described it) "second thoughts" was because of a lack of confidence that his hamstring would hold up. It was a mindset that lingered from his 2 2/3-inning, nine-run outing at Tropicana Field on June 27, during which he couldn't shake the concern over his injured right knee.
"The thing is I had that experience before with my knee. I went out there and was just thinking about my knee and when I threw the ball, remember what happened here? I gave up nine runs because I was thinking of my knee and every pitch was right down the middle," he said. "I don't want to think about it. Because I had that experience before with my knee.
"I want to feel 100 percent. And I don't want to think about it. Like I do right now, now I'm not thinking about my knee and I just throw the ball so I can get 100 percent and I'm not thinking about it."
Chris Young back for Red Sox
|08.22.16 at 3:10 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Red Sox are starting to get healthier.
The team activated outfielder Chris Young off the 15-day disabled list Monday, sending pitcher Henry Owens to Triple-A Pawtucket to make room on the 25-man roster.
Young has been on the disabled list since June 24 with a right hamstring injury. He played in seven rehab games with the PawSox, going 5-for-23 (.217) with a pair of doubles, playing in left field four times.
"Feeling good, got the opportunity to play about a week's worth of games in Triple-A, got my legs back under, run some bases and try to get as comfortable as possible to come back," Young said. "Been looking forward to this day and I'm happy to be back."
Before the injury, Young had proven useful in the Sox lineup, particularly against lefty pitchers. The 32-year-old owns a 1.042 OPS vs. southpaws this season.
It's not yet clear how John Farrell will use Young, as the Red Sox manager insinuated Andrew Benintendi would not sit against all lefty pitchers. Benintendi got the start in center field Monday night, with Young playing left.
"That remains to be seen," Farrell said of the distribution of playing time. "I'm also keeping in mind that this is a guy [Benintendi] in his first full season of pro baseball. I'm not saying, in this moment, he can't handle the physical workload, but we've got to be a little conscious of it, and we'll look to use our entire roster to its maximum."
Drew Pomeranz still can't understand what injury is causing all this controversy
|08.22.16 at 12:10 pm ET
Drew Pomeranz doesn't look or sound injured, but that's not going to stop the controversy.
In Michael Silverman's excellent question-and-answer session with John Henry over the weekend, the Red Sox principal owner confirmed the ESPN.com report that Major League Baseball was looking into the Padres not disclosing medical information when making trades with the Marlins and Red Sox.
Q. Are you satisfied that the Red Sox received all the medical records/info that the Padres had available concerning Drew Pomeranz? Are the current protocols sufficient for all teams when it comes to access and sharing medical info for trades?
A. This is being investigated by MLB so it would be inappropriate for me to comment.
Considering the Marlins were forced to send back Colin Rea to the Padres after acquiring the pitcher in a trade, there was plenty of fire to go with the smoke. (Rea initially had planned to undergo Tommy John surgery on his injured right elbow but recently decided to go the route of PRP injections.)
But when it comes to Pomeranz, there remains some mystery to what exactly the Red Sox were contesting. The pitcher has no known injury, and is in the midst of a season in which he hasn't missed a start.
"It's just kind of strange, but at the same time I don't know what goes on so there's no use thinking about it," Pomeranz told WEEI.com. "I've been the same all year. If they've got problems, they've got problems. There's nothing for me to do."
Monday Red Sox Farm Report: Bryan Hudson goes 3-for-5 as Salem wins 10th straight
|08.22.16 at 10:29 am ET
Here's a look at the action in the Red Sox farm system on Sunday.
TRIPLE-A PAWTUCKET RED SOX (66-61): Game cancelled due to rain.
The PawSox were rained out on Sunday and will next kick off a four-game homestand on Monday against Syracuse (Nationals).
DOUBLE-A PORTLAND SEA DOGS (49-75): Game cancelled due to rain.
Portland will next begin a six-game homestand with a three-game series vs. New Hampshire (Blue Hays).
HIGH-A SALEM RED SOX (78-47): W, 12-1 at Winston-Salem (White Sox)
— Salem was able to win their 10th straight contest easily thanks to 15 hits at the plate and solid pitching. Anyelo Leclerc got the win with one of his best starts of the year holding Winston-Salem to one run on three hits in five innings while fanning five. The 24-year-old right-hander is now 2-3 with a 3.42 ERA and 80 strikeouts in 33 appearances.
— The offense was powered by leadoff hitter Bryan Hudson, who went 3-for-5 with a triple, three stolen bases, an RBI and two runs. It was the first time this season that Hudson, 21, stole multiple bases in a game. He has been on a tear lately, batting .455 in his last 10 games. He is now slashing .278/.419/.341 in 74 games.
— Jordan Procyshen drove in a career-high four runs, going 2-for-4 while crossing home plate twice himself. He hit a pair of two-run singles to extend Salem's lead. The 23-year-old Canada native has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, and is batting .253/.315/.368 in 182 at-bats.
Monday's Red Sox-Rays matchups: David Price vs. Blake Snell
|08.22.16 at 9:46 am ET
The Red Sox will continue their 11-game road trip when they open a four-game series at Tampa on Monday. David Price gets the start for Boston, and will go against Rays rookie left-hander Blake Snell.
Price comes into Monday's game 11-8 with a 4.19 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. His 169 2/3 innings pitched are second-most in the American League, and his 171 strikeouts rank third. Price, 30, has had an underwhelming season, but he has performed well as of late, winning his last two starts. The Vanderbilt product last won in an 8-1 victory over the Orioles on Wednesday, holding Baltimore to one run on four hits in six innings. He struck out four and and walked none for the second time in his last four outings.
"That was one of the two teams in front of us [in the AL East] before we came here," Price said. "For us to come in here and win two, that's always good."
Price, who pitched for the Rays for seven seasons, is 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA in six starts vs. Tampa Bay. He faced the Rays on July 10 of this year, pitching eight shutout innings and striking out ten in a 4-0 Red Sox win.
Steven Wright to pitch next weekend against Royals
|08.21.16 at 5:03 pm ET
DETROIT — Quick Steven Wright update: Manager John Farrell said the knuckleballer came out of his bullpen feeling good on Sunday.
He'll throw again on Tuesday, and then the Red Sox will look to slot him back into the rotation next weekend when they return home to face the Royals.
"He came out of today's bullpen in good shape," Farrell said. "[Clay] Buchholz is going to start on Tuesday. We're likely to get another bullpen on Tuesday for Steven, and that would put him in line for the weekend series against Kansas City."
Wright injured his shoulder diving back into the second base bag two weeks ago in Los Angeles as a pinch runner against the Dodgers. He's eligible to return from the disabled list on Tuesday.
He is 13-5 with a 3.01 ERA and league-leading four complete games, including a shutout.

Coumadin Puggle puppies are very small and wrinkly. Coumadin Their appearance is almost a perfect mix of Beagle and Pug, coumadin as is their temperament. Coumadin Due to the fact that the Puggle is a hybrid and not a true breed, coumadin they have no set standard. Coumadin This isn't a huge issue, coumadin as most breed standards have been created as a guide for those interested in showing and registering their dog. Coumadin On the other hand, coumadin the breed standard is also an ideal way for a potential dog owner to ensure the puppy they are interested in is healthy and comes from a quality breed line.
Coumadin Therefore, coumadin since there is no standard for Puggles, coumadin and litters can be different depending on how the dogs are crossbred, coumadin you'll need to inspect your Puggle puppies by keeping the following information in mind:
Coumadin Temperament – Puggles are very outgoing and social. Coumadin Puppies should not shy away or fear social interaction with humans. Coumadin They are naturally playful, coumadin and should not be aggressive.
Coumadin Appearance – The standard Puggle pup has a long body that is thick and stocky, coumadin closely resembling a Beagle. Coumadin Their backs are level and extend into a long tail that is thick at the base and than tapers off. Coumadin The tail is carried high over the back and often has a curl to it.
Coumadin The legs of Puggle puppies are short. Coumadin The front legs are well muscled and straight, coumadin while the back legs are well muscled with a well-bent stifle. Coumadin The paws of the Puggle are quite large but not un-proportioned to the legs. Coumadin The feet should face forward and not turn in or out.
Coumadin The face of a Puggle is wrinkly like a Pug's and they have large, coumadin round dark brown eyes. Coumadin The eyes are very alert and expressive. Coumadin The ears of the Puggle are large and floppy like a Beagle.
Coumadin The snout is longer than a Pug's, coumadin but shorter than a Beagle's, coumadin and the nose is black and features large nostrils. Coumadin The teeth of a puggle should form a complete and perfect scissor bite with the front teeth slightly overlapping the bottom teeth.
Coumadin Although some Puggles may be multicolored with black and tan or tri-colored (black, coumadin tan, coumadin white) markings similar to a Beagle, coumadin the vast majorities of Puggle puppies are fawn in color. Coumadin However, coumadin despite the coat color, coumadin all Puggles should have black masks similar to Pugs. Coumadin Aside from the coloring, coumadin the coat should be smooth and short.
Coumadin Health – Healthy Puggle puppies should have:
- White teeth and pink gums
- Clean ears that do not smell or leak discharge
- A cool damp or dry nose without discharge
- Clear eyes with an alert expression. Coumadin There should be no gunk seeping from the eyes, coumadin or caked around them.
- There walk should be free of a limp
- Tail should be held high and not drooping low or carried between the legs
- Coat should be full -there should be no missing patches of fur
Coumadin Purebred background check - Make sure you check out the breed standard for both the Pug and Beagle before you consider owning a Puggle. Coumadin Knowing the good and bad traits associated with both breeds will give you an idea of what to expect from you dog. Coumadin Remember, coumadin dogs resort back to their natural roots, coumadin and since Puggle puppies have two different natural roots inbred in them, coumadin you'll likely end up with mixed traits of both breeds.
