New CDC Vital Signs: E-cigarette Ads and Youth
More than 18 million youth see e-cigarette ads
About 7 in 10 middle and high school students – more than 18 million young people – see e-cigarette advertising in stores, online, in newspapers and magazines, or on television and in movies, according to a new CDC Vital Signs report.
Data from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) show 68.9 percent of middle and high school students see e-cigarettes ads from one or more media sources. Youth see e-cigarette ads in retail stores (54.8 percent), online (39.8 percent), in TV/movies (36.5 percent),and in newspapers and magazines (30.4 percent).
- Advertising of tobacco products has been shown to cause youth to start using those products. E-cigarette ads use many of the same themes – independence, rebellion, and sex – used to sell cigarettes and other conventional tobacco products.
- The unrestricted marketing of e-cigarettes and dramatic increases in their use by youth could reverse decades of progress in preventing tobacco use among youth. Spending on e-cigarette advertising rose from $6.4 million in 2011 to an estimated $115 million in 2014. In 2014, e-cigarettes became the most commonly used tobacco product among youth, surpassing conventional cigarettes. During 2011 to 2014, current e-cigarette use among high school students soared from 1.5 percent to 13.4 percent, and among middle school students from 0.6 percent to 3.9 percent.
Other key findings in the Vital Signs report show that:
- More than half of high school students (8.3 million) saw e-cigarette ads in retail stores, and more than 6 million saw them on the Internet.
- More than half of middle school students (6 million) saw e-cigarettes ads in retail stores, and more than 4 million saw them on the Internet.
- About 15 percent of all students (4.1 million) saw e-cigarette ads from all four sources: retail stores, the Internet, TV/movies, and magazines/newspapers.
Strategies to reduce youth access to e-cigarettes could include:
- Limiting tobacco product sales to facilities that never admit youth,
- Restricting the number of stores that sell tobacco and how close they can be to schools,
- Requiring that e-cigarettes be sold only through face-to-face transactions, not on the Internet, and
- Requiring age verification to enter e-cigarette vendor's websites, make purchases, and accept deliveries of e-cigarettes

"The same advertising tactics the tobacco industry used years ago to get kids addicted to nicotine are now being used to entice a new generation of young people to use e-cigarettes. I hope all can agree that kids should not use e-cigarettes."

"E-cigarettes typically deliver nicotine, which at a young age may cause lasting harm to brain development, promote addiction, and lead to sustained tobacco use. States and communities can help reduce youth tobacco use by funding tobacco prevention and control programs that address the diversity of tobacco products available on the market, including e-cigarettes."

Imogen Thomas' Breasts Get A Workout
March 28th, 2012
I like to think that I'm up to date on today's physical fitness trends, I down energy drinks and do my daily calisthenics, but I don't know what's going on here. Here's a chick named Imogen Thomas doing some sort of workout that involves cleaning up old tires from a beach in a tank top. Where did the parachute come from? Obviously when I'm talking about calisthenics I'm referring to my daily masturbation sessions. Believe me, the way I do it… It's quite a workout

HeartLight as we age, the body loses its ability to produce CoQ10. Research clearly shows that the activity of CoQ10 is dramatically enhanced when combined with L-Carnitine. Both are required to produce ATP cellular energy fuel. CoQ10 protects the heart from free radical damage, and promotes healthy gums. CoQ10 may be helpful in hypertension.
Statin drugs destroys CoQ10 in the body. Bioperine is added to assure maximum bioavailability.

Los Altos High School will have a new assistant principal, Suzanne Woolfolk, beginning this July.
Recently, she was named a 2014 Kent Award Winner by the San Mateo County School Board for creating Family Literacy Nights. The FLNs are weekly events designed to encourage a love of reading in elementary-aged students.
"I am honored to join LAHS and to be accepted into such a talented and admirable professional community. I am eager to learn from current leadership, and to also bring my experiences working with students and instructional programs to benefit our school," Mrs. Woolfolk said.
"When I first met Suzanne, it was clear that she is passionate about students and their academic and personal success. When she talks about her involvement with students you can feel her energy and excitement. I believe that she will make a great addition to Los Altos High School. While I know that she will be missed at San Mateo High School, we are excited and eager to welcome her to LAHS," Principal Wynne Satterwhite said.
Woolfolk will be replacing Cristy Dawson, who served as assistant principal for the past 13 years. Dawson is retiring after a 39-year-long educational career. She joined the district in 1996.
"She has worn many different hats while working at LAHS but the foundation that she has built her successful educational career on is students first. Cristy's energy and passion when it comes to kids is immeasurable," Satterwhite said.
At LAHS's Diversity Assembly last month, staff and students danced and performed to honor Dawson's work with at-risk students and her "commitment to the academic and emotional development of students." She was presented with the "Tireless Teacher" award at the assembly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HarmonyDavis Great coat The fit is feminine, warm, classic and comfortable. I love the length of this coat as it covers well so your lower half stays warm. Columbia's customer service was amazing as I had to return an older jacket with a broken zipper and I had this replacement fairly quickly. I will be sticking with Columbia exclusively from now on for my winter gear. January 8, 2017
Rated 4 out of 5 by Olena I satisfied The jacket arrived a little bigger than I am. But that's the last minus. I weared it in very windy weather with -4°C and filled hot. It's very lite and thin, I like it. January 7, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5 by Satmom Great coat for cold Philadelphia I bought this coat for my daughter to wear during the cold Philadelphia winter. The city is like an icy wind tunnel. Walking to class was too cold to handle in a short coat. This coat is so warm and toasty. It is water repellant and super comfortable. She loves it. She also likes that the hood was a little over sized so it doesn't slip off of her head. Love the coat and the fact that it shipped and arrived as expected. January 2, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5 by AlexoftheWest Great Looking Coat I love the colour- bright white - and along with the fit which is very flattering. You will not look like a marshmallow in this coat! I'm 5'2" and the XS is a great fit - sleeve length is good and is about 2" above my knee which is exactly what I wanted. The down fill is very cozy warm. One thing I didn't love was the fur and my first inclination was to simply remove the hood. Am I ever glad I read another review that said she had used her dog comb on it. Did the same (gently) and the fur looks so much better - am very happy that I left the hood on but it's great that it is detectable. Overall a great coat! December 30, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan17 Excellent coat! This coat looks great and is very warm. I love the way the hood fits snugly around my head and the zipper comes way up -- no need for a hat or scarf except when the face needs some covering. The burgundy/merlot color is beautiful. For me, the XS is perfect - 5'2", 114 lbs., pear shape. It's close-fitting (which is the look I wanted) but I can see how someone with broader shoulders or a bigger bust might say it runs small. For me it fits even over my thickest blazers -- great for really cold days. It could use roomier pockets, but that's nit-picking. December 27, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by EG87 Not worth your money. I bought this coat thinking it would keep me warm, but it didn't. The feathers were coming off and the quality wasn't good. Don't spend your money on this coat just because it's cheap. You'll regret it. December 25, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nise1 Loving my coat This coat is awesome! I tried it on a went out into one of the xoldest days that Chicago has Had thus far. It was warm and really cute on. I recommend this coat.....It is definitely teue to size. If your bustie then i suggest going a size up. December 20, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Skijunki Nice Coat but.... I bought this coat because it was a great deal. The only real issue I have is the zipper (I read several reviews where people mentioned that they had problems with the zipper but thought nothing of it). It is difficult to line the zipper up and get it to zip up. Also, I had read some reviews which mentioned the coat ran small. It does not. I bought it in a size up and it's slightly big on me (just means I can put more sweaters or shells underneath). Otherwise, I like the coat just fine. December 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Weatherly Fabulous coat We purchased a medium for our au pair who's 5'7" and thin - wears a size 4 typically. The medium is perfect over any sort of a sweater (and not too big without one). She adores the coat. It's waterproof, warm, stylish (the inside waist cinch is great), and great for running around and doing all sorts of outside activities. It's already freezing in Boston and she wears it everywhere and is not cold. December 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DebbieK Great! Light weight but very warm! Just what I was looking for. Light but warm for traveling. Good quality!!! Allow for clothes underneath! December 14, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by JReneeT61 Size Issue I had to return my jacket/coat because it was way too small. The ad stated that it runs small, but it wouldn't even cover my hips. That's very small. I've never had that problem before. Why isn't the jacket offered in a 2X? December 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Candyleah Excellent for cold Canadian winters! I bought this coat specifically for very cold weather, and it delivers! Tonight I took my huskies for a 4 km walk in -32c windchill (I live in the prairies and it gets extremely cold), and although I did layer --would be crazy not to-- I was super toasty. I wore it with a light long sleeve layer and a scuba hoodie, I was super comfortable, and it kept me plenty warm. I'm looking forward to staying warm in this every day, highly recommend! December 9, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by TallGal Nice coat I got this coat because it looked long. I'm 6'1" and it is a nice length on me; it's about 3" above my knees. I am actually a medium, but the arms in that size are too short. The "Varaluck" is not a bulky coat and does not have the material that other Columbia coats have that bounces your heat back to you, so I do hope it's warm enough. December 9, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by LyndaAVo Great Product I just got this, and it is so warm. I am only 5'4 so it is long on me, but it keeps my whole body warm. Which I love. December 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dom85 Love this coat Great coat. It can fit snugly due to the inner elastic drawstrings, so it gives the woman a better figure at the waist. It's warm. I like the fleece lined pockets and fleece around the inside of the neck. The hood is detachable. The feel of the coat is soft. Great product. December 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by thezoo247 Love this coat! Best fitting long jacket ever! Very warm but not bulky. Has a nice, flattering fit. The narrowing at the waist makes it look nice. December 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lbills Love this jacket!! This is the perfect everyday winter jacket!!! November 18, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Linda8 Great coat, very warm! This coat kept me very warm during the below zero midwest temps! Only issue I have with any Columbia coat or jacket I have purchased was the zipper always not wanting to go up. Great color too! Whatever size you normally purchase, I would go a size larger. Glad I did. March 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarieLZ Gorgeous, warm coat We are planning a vacation to a much colder climate. Since we live in the rainy Northwest, I wanted a coat that would be warm for my vacation, but one that I could wear during the wet Seattle winters. This beautiful coat was exactly what I needed. It is warm. I love the longer length as it keeps my legs and knees warm. The many pockets allow for storing gloves and tissues. The fur lined hood is so warm and beautiful. I bought this coat on sale, so I saved $50. Even without the sale, the price was very reasonable. It is machine washable. I can't wait until next winter to wear it again! February 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jane126 perfectly fit Very nice color and true water proof shell. The size XS fits me so well. Great coat to wear in winter January 26, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by yourmom Really junky. This coat looked cute. But it has almost no down filling in it. It isn't warm. But the worst part is that the zipper is plastic & junky. I'm returning it. It's not Columbias normal excellent quality. January 25, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by om5166 This product has great features I love the color, I love the style and fit. It is roomy it is comfortable it keeps me very warm January 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MzMocha78 Great For Windy City I needed a new coat for the winter here in chicago, and as you all know it gets cold! I normally wear a large in my coats, but i wanted this one to last another winter if possible, so i got an x-large and it fits perfect. The sleeves are not too long and it is long enough, i am 5"7 so i wanted to make sure it was long enough. The only thing I don't like is the hood I wish it was a drawstring , but other than that it's great. Its waterproof for real too. January 16, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by staceybski Cute but lacks warmth This is a cute long puffy but fails in the warmth department. It keeps me warm at temps above 35 January 6, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by SonyaLCH Zipper Problems! Janky Fur! I love Columbia gear. I have several vests, fleece jackets, and coats. This is the only product that I have been underwhelmed with. First the coat was much a much lighter weight than what I expected. Even with the down, I don't think this would be good in subzero weather. The fur on the hood is thin, scraggly, and inexpensive looking. The biggest aggravation is the zipper. It is hard as heck to zip and unzip. A couple of times I had to step out of it because I couldn't get the zipper to completely unzip all the way. I had to choose another coat yesterday because I was in a hurry and didn't have time to zip it up. I could live with the fur and the weight if the darn zipper would work properly. As stated in previous reviews, this coat runs a bit small. I'd say it's about 1/2 size smaller. I am normally a medium but went up to a large and I am happy with the fit. December 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnyaMtl Great warm jacket I'm 5'11", 145lbs, 36A normally wearing size S and this jacket fits just wonderfully. It hits slightly above the knee and has a feminine look without being too tight while still having room for a sweater for colder days. Red color looks awesome - it has a slight purple tint and subtle pattern that makes the color look deeper and more interesting than plain red. I'm very pleased with the quality of the water- and wind-resistant fabric, my previous Columbia jacket did not handle rain this well. But the best part is the sleeves: they are long! It doesn't happen too often in winter jackets for me, so I am very happy. The hood is as warm as the jacket itself, it looks and fits nicely and is easily detachable. There is a couple of drawbacks, but I don't see them as big problems. First, feathers seem to be coming out here and there, but not too much. I noticed some small feathers in the seams on the outside of the jacket, but so far haven't found any on my clothes when I take it off. I guess with 60/40% down to feather composition some of this is to be expected. Second, I won't be using the waist drawstring on the inside because it sits way above my natural waistline, but I think it will fit shorter ladies just fine. And the last one, when I first unpacked the jacket, the faux fur trim on the hood looked so bad that I considered cutting it off and replacing it with fur trim from my older jacket. It is not detachable, so that would require some sewing. Later I decided to give it a chance and brushed it thoroughly with one of my dog's grooming brushes, and it worked. The trim still doesn't look like it stalked buffalos in the wild, but looks fluffy and decent enough to wear. December 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by cekin It keeps you warm This coat keeps you warm. I love the length, it reaches under my knee. It is super light than i thought. The color is brighten than i expected, it is not like pomegranate red, towards pinkish and inside of the coat is purple. I love this combination. December 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by TyGonzalez Great coat for the city cold I needed a longer coat because I'm terrified of te cold. This is the perfect length. I've only worn it in 30+ weather, but it's very warm with a thin layer. I bought it in white and my mother was appalled because I have a 2 year old. The coating on it does make it stain resistant. But the color itself is interesting. It is a white with a greyish pattern. That part I'm not crazy about. That, and it's super difficult to wash. It takes forever to dry and smells a bit like goose afterwards. December 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by PK30 Nice!! I love my new coat! I thought it would fit a little tight but it fits just right ! The color is soooo pretty! December 18, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sevilla Coat The coat runs small the color on the hood and the coat clash, purple lining and red coat. December 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisalisa925 Coat size Hello my daughter loves this coat the only thing was I was trying to get a bigger size and went back on the website and the sizes where gone and took it to the store didn't have the same coat but I was told if I change it I would pay more even only if the price change but other wise the coat is pretty and she loves Columbia products and would buy again. December 16, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Limogod Poor sizing Ordered this jacket in small did not fit...sent back and ordered a medium did not fit...spouse isx 120 lbs shouldn't have to order a large horrible sizing December 16, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by MsWest This product keeps you warm! I was intrigued by the seemingly minimal amount of down fill insulation in this coat, but am highly impressed with the warmth. I also think that the coat is brighter than I expected, but having the stain resistant barrier adds a little more assurance, although I'm still careful and tend to be a little more cautious about brushing up against anything. December 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tpras1922 Loved it but will exchange Great winter coat. Loved the length, however in the seas alt there was only a small left. We ordered it (because comments said it ran small)...but still too big for my niece. She stated the small was still about 5 inches too big around the waste. Yes, she's a skinny & tall. Bought it for Wisconsin winter! Still loved the feminine look. Was a much lighter weight than we thought so we're glad it wasn't a super bulky coat! We've ordered the grey in xs so we'll be back to write another review. December 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jungae Awesome I bought this design in two colors. Both of them are asesome. And the length is great and it is super light but super warm. I usually wear M in other cloth but this jacket needs to buy L size. December 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LisaN73 Beautiful Coat I'm about 5'6", 180lbs, 40DD. I purchased an XL, and it fits beautifully, and is very elegant looking (I purchased the Sea Salt and Tweed color). There's an adjustable elastic "cincher" located on the interior of the coat, both at the waist (to help tuck the waist in a bit to give more of an hourglass shape) and also at the bottom of the coat around the knees. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase! December 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by kremesko Nice coat, way to big for medium. I usually wear size 6-8 but this coat was too large for me so I have to return it. Otherwise, pretty and warm coat for amazing price! Color is true to picture. December 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by ViVa Good Jacket This Jacket fits me snug. I am 5 '7' and 140lbs, and when i wear this ,it reaches till my knee. Colour is more towards pinkish-not dark ruby red like pomegranate. The zip is a bit cumbersome-not a dealbreaker for me. Overall happy. Cant wait to see how it performs in Boston winters!! December 8, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jalen Fur collar The fur collar ruins the appearance of the coat. If it could be removed I would keep the coat . But it is attached to the hood and I'll be returning the coat . Very disappointed , I have many Columbia jackets and have always found them to be of excellent guality. November 28, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by natayak Zipper problems I really liked the fit and look of this coat. Except for the fur on the hood, I wish it were detachable. The fur looks very cheap and sticks out in all directions without having any shape. I was going to keep the coat despite that, however, every time I put it on, the zipper would get stuck in various places (mostly on the bottom). This is going back mostly for that reason. November 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CricketsCorner Classy looking winter coat Great coat for a mid weight coat. Seriously doubt it would be warm enough in below freezing weather. Nice lines. Does not bell at the bottom like most down coats. The sleeves are "very" long. I have long arms and these are at least 2 inches too long. The hood is nice and big. Not too wide but comes out enough to really protect your face. The fur though is really funny. Looks like a scarred porcupine. Fur sticks out every which way. I even tried to comb it. The overall fit is small. I wear a 10/12 dress, I am 5'6", 135 lbs, 38" bust. The medium was way too small. Couldn't zip it up. The large was so much bigger that the lines that usually go over your bust were about an 1 1/2" to the outside of where they should be. But I have looked everywhere for a coat and this is the best I can find. Overall quality is really good. October 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsEGP Very warm I am 5'9" 200 lbs. size 14, 36DD. I ordered this in an XL. It fits perfectly. It is definitely snug but not too snug. I can move and sit while zipped. It does have a dual zipper to adjust from bottom or top. If you are very "hippy" this my not be for you. This coat is also long. Even at 5'9" it hits just above my knees. Perfect for cold winter mornings in scrubs. I love that I can cinch the waist on the inside to give myself shape. As for the color, I ordered the pomegranate and I was expecting a more red color as the picture shows but it is more of pinky-red. I still love it though. I have two other columbia coats and they hold up very well. I can't wait to try this out on a good cold day! October 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mssherri return and reordered i look forward to winter so i can wear my new coat. i had to return to get bigger size got my new coat quickly and as I said am looking forward to winter October 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lori22 Best coat for a great price Love love love it! Sizing is off a bit I think - because of the measurements, I purchased a small but after receiving it - I realized that I needed the xs - but most of the items I purchase from Columbia tend to run a bit large. I am approximately 113lbs. If you buy this coat you won't be sorry - I bought it and I live in Florida, lol (needed it for travel to colder climates) October 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CindyMarie Love the coat I purchased this coat for myself and I was very pleased with the coat the only thing is that the feathers keep coming out. Otherwise the coat has a perfect fit and look and warmth are all that I had expected. April 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GreyMare Great Coat for Brutal MI Winter I bought this coat in February and didn't expect to be wearing it for another month! Living in MI, I have many down coats, but this year I bought tall winter boots & wanted a long coat so my entire leg would be sheltered from the wind & extreme cold. It was longer on me than the model. I'm 5'4" & it hits about 6" inches below my knee. I'm sure the model in the ad was much taller. Also, I have long arms and the sleeves were still a bit long, but I'd much rather have them too long than too short. Worked out great for driving & bending my arms & still being covered. Also, like the top & bottom zip feature. I could unzip the bottom a bit to get in & out of my car easily. My favorite feature is the faux fur inside the collar area. That really kept my neck & face warm without even using a scarf. I was happy to find this coat so late in the season & it's gotten a lot of use. March 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Beth408 Exactly what I was looking for... I have been searching for a long length down coat for awhile. Found this online and after reading other reviews decided to make the purchase. I was not disappointed. This coat has a great fit I am 5'7" 140lbs and bought a medium..perfect size !! Doesn't make you look overweight like other puffer style coats. It has a pull cord inside if you want to cinch your waist more. It's been a very cold winter ..this keeps me very warm with only a light weight sweater underneath. I would highly recommend this to you if your looking for a sporty down coat. If I could make one suggestion to Columbia perhaps add a snap closure secondary feature to the coat since this is a 'zipper only". Other than that no complaints !!! March 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by COLD77 Awe man!! I was so excited to receive this coat and to my surprise I was disappointed with the performance of the coat. First, I purchased an XL thinking it was going to be a perfect fit and to my surprise it fit thight around the hips. And that was going up a size. I wore my coat yesterday in 17 degree weather and it just didn't keep me that warm. The coat is really cute but as far as keeping you toasty warm the performance was not there for me. I own jackets from other down manufactures and when I wear them I never feel cold. When I wore this coat I was not warm. The hood and trim fur are well made and attractive and that kept me warm but the coat itself, the warmth was just NOT there. They may need to add more Down or something, but for my taste it's too light for 17 degree weather and below. I would recommend it because it is cute and I intend to keep my purchase, but they need to make it thicker. And PS if your are a size 18 don't buy this coat because it will not fit. February 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by blueeyes420 Get it while you can! I just received this jacket in the mail and I am very happy with the product. I am 5'2 130lbs and I got the small. It's a tiny bit big but there is plenty of room to wear a sweatshirt under it and move my arms. The jacket falls below my knees. I haven't worn it in extreme temperatures yet wearing it around the house it is warm. I would recommend this jacket, it is worth every penny. February 27, 2014

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) got a $9 billion dose of reality today courtesy of The New York Times. In an article released this morning, the Times reported that, according to inside sources familiar with the firm's models, the losses on the so-called 'London Whale' trade are now expected to reach $9 billion, more than quadruple the original estimates. While this is certainly bad in and of itself, what it means for the composition of the remaining portion of the trade could be even worse for shareholders. Consider that the New York Times piece contends that
The bank's exit from its money-losing trade is happening faster than many expected... JPMorgan has moved rapidly to unwind the position - its most volatile assets in particular - internal models at the bank have recently projected losses of as much as $9 billion...With much of the most volatile slice of the position sold, however, regulators are unsure how deep the reported losses will eventually be.
Presumably, readers are supposed to come away from the article feeling two things: shock at the size of the loss and relief that the 'most volatile assets' have been sold. What is critical to note however, is that what JPMorgan most likely means by 'most volatile assets' is the massive amount of protection the firm's CIO desk sold on the IG9--the 'hedge of the hedge,' if you will.
This is only good if you believe in the soundness of the original hedge--the CDX tranche bet.
As I noted in a previous article, the firm (probably) sold the protection on the IG9 because its CDX tranche hedge was blown-up by the implementation of the LTRO in December, which squeezed systemic risk out of the system. The original hedge was a means of protecting the firm's long positions in credit by buying a swap on the senior tranche which would pay-off in the event Europe imploded and caused a systemic shock similar to that experienced after Lehman Brothers.
When the ECB instituted the first LTRO in December, it effectively ensured that no such systemic shock was in the cards, causing JPMorgan's tranche hedge to accumulate losses rather quickly. In order to make things right, the CIO desk began selling massive amounts of protection on the untranched IG9 index to hedge funds who were executing skew trades, gradually accumulating a precarious long bet.
In any case, that long bet (the 'risky' part of the trade and the hedge of the hedge) has apparently been unwound along with most of hedge fund's opposing positions. Today's New York Times article supports this notion. What is left is the original tail-risk hedge (the CDX tranche bet). As I noted in a previous article, the fact that net notionals in tranched IG9 have remained relatively unchanged indicates JPMorgan still has this position.
While the firm would likely say that this position is the unrisky part (it is the original hedge meant to protect against a systemic shock), it is clearly indicating that it learned absolutely nothing from the whole experience: That hedge is the one that blew-up in the first place and started the ball rolling in the wrong direction.
If you believe the ECB and the Fed will not let the European debt crisis cause another 'Lehman event', then you must necessarily be worried that JPMorgan now appears to be effectively naked in their tail-risk tranche position. If the ECB moves, that position could once again begin to accumulate large losses as correlation plummets.
For this reason, shareholders should be skeptical of the notion that the firm has sold the 'most volatile assets'. The volatility of the assets largely depends on the environment. Short JPM or long JPM puts.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

text: Like Detective Inspector Jack Frost of the A Touch of Frost series, Chief Inspector Morse is grumpy. He's what I would call a curmudgeon. But, somehow, we love him. He loves classical music…especially opera, drives his classic Jag, loves the ladies but is a confirmed bachelor, and most of all loves his beer. Along with his trusty and more passive sidekick, Detective Sgt. Lewis, Morse travels about the Oxford area solving crime and frequenting pubs. The crimes and cases are all top-notch…almost perfectly constructed. Each episode is filled with so much information and so many details that if you blink, you miss something. The chemistry between Morse and Lewis is strong…Lewis is less cultured and more agreeable and Morse is extremely set-in-his-ways. But, the two of them make a great crime-solving team. And, like some shows, Morse does not "instantly" solve the crime…like some shows that have the detective be almost psychic or superhuman with their investigating skills. Here, the cases are all solved methodically and with great effort. Sometimes, it's nice to know that even a great detective gets stumped.

Most dentists are good clinicians, but it's the business side of running a practice that stresses them the most and limits their success in the profession. Many of the troubling issues that dentists deal with in their practice are explored in a new book, A Drive to Excellence: Building a High Performance, Patient-Centered Dental Practice.
"We wrote the book to help general dentists achieve business excellence and attain financial success," said co-author Peter Gopal, PhD, President of Visionary Management.
"When you look closely, almost every practice will have one or more genuine opportunities for growth. We've outlined how to spot these opportunities and how to go about exploiting them," said co-author Hema Gopal, MBA, DMD, Vice President of Visionary Management. "It's based on the cumulative experience of running our own dental practice as well as client experiences. The ideas described in the book are executable and were developed after more than fifteen years of testing and refinement."
When it comes to building and sustaining a dental practice, every dentist has questions. In A Drive to Excellence: Building a High Performance, Patient-Centered Dental Practice, you'll find answers to such questions as:

What people are saying about Comfortaire
For over 30-years now, Comfortaire has been the answer for those suffering from sleep degrading problems like pressure point pains, or an uncomfortable mattress that leaves them up tossing and turning all night. But don't just take our word for it. We welcome you to read some sleep-saving stories several of our bed owners have shared with us.
"I'm a long time customer of Comfortaire, and I'm happy to say that after 14+ years, my bed is just as comfortable as it was when I first purchased it! I still fall asleep immediately, and the best part is - no morning backache. Ever!" - Julie Z
We always appreciate hearing from our customers, so if you have your own Comfortaire story - we'd love to hear about it!
Every now and then I like to do a follow-up with people with whom I have done business, sometimes it is to complain, other times it is because I am satisfied. I wanted to let you know that I am extremely happy with my purchase. The bed I received from you has provided my wife and I with great night sleep. I am very pleased that we did business with you. We LOVE our bed!John
After a couple of initial operation problems/questions, we are very pleased with our Comfortaire mattress. It works well, lets us set the desired level of firmness and does give us a comfortable nights sleep.Russell
You guys are great!!!! Thank you all for a great experience... You are truly a fresh air when it comes to service!!!!William
My wife and I wish to thank you for your courtesy and professionalism in handling our order for our new bed. We had a sleep comfort for four years and it was killing us. The quality, workmanship and comfort of this new bed are wonderful!!! I have had 2 operations on my back, and am in constant pain. I slept the full night on the new bed all night long, no pain!!! Again, thank you for your courtesy and professionalism. Please pass this on to your supervisor if you have one, and feel free to use this any way you want. The bed is wonderful!Lance and Phyllis
I just wanted to give you an update. I wanted to wait awhile, I had to get used to the way the bed works. The settings are a bit strange to get comfortable with, the "meter" showing the pressure fluctuates a lot. My memory settings don't always get to the right percentages, seldom with one touch. However, after adjusting and setting, the bed seems to be doing what it is supposed to do. And yes, it is probably the most comfortable bed I have ever owned. I love it! My wife is still playing around with her settings, but I am sure she will figure out what works best for her. I do at times think that the pressure decreases at night. I don't know that for certain. Overall, I am VERY satisfied with the bed, and I do enjoy more than a "modicum" of relief throughout the night. Thank-you again for your care and service. All of my doubts and complaints have been addressed and set aside. You were MOST helpful and considerate. You are a credit to your sales team, thank-you so much for your help. The mattress protector came, and I appreciate you sending it.John
On behalf of my aching back...THANK YOU!Steve
Received the bed, have only slept in it for 2 days but what a difference, thank you. Have recommended to three friends looking for beds. I'm sure you'll be getting their orders soon!!!!!Thomas
I appreciate your help and just wanted to advise that I have received a credit to my Amx account. I wanted to make sure you knew how prompt and professional your company has been from start to finish. While it didn't work out for us, I will be happy to recommend your company to friends, etc. that may be interested. Its nice in this day and age to have such a pleasant purchasing experience - unfortunately I am too accustomed to having to argue and hassle in most other instances! THANKS!Scott
Thanks for your quick response and your wonderful customer service. Your willingness to spend some time with me going over the features really helped in my decision. Your service is top-notch!Liz
I just wanted to give you an update after we have had the bed over a month and also thank you again for your assistance, as well as others in customer service. I wanted to thank you for taking care of my matter promptly, courteously and professionally. The telephone operators were knowledgeable and had all the correct answers. I had done some research on mattresses and they were honest and not misleading in their responses or high pressure. My wife and me are completely satisfied with our choice and couldn't be happier with our decision. After delaying this purchase for quite some time, we are definitely sorry we didn't buy one sooner. I am never one to purchase something because a salesperson says "...because you deserve it. (car salesman use this phrase all the time) but this may very well be the case in this instance. My wife and me are sleeping more restful and comfortably than we have in years.Malcolm

Fat free and "Light" chips made with Olestra
Anyone tried these, and if so, what's the verdict?
Mon. Aug 20, 8:32am
these are great when eaten while taking alli.

I love them. They taste like regular chips and there's only 70 cal per 17 chips. You almost feel like you're being bad!
Monday, August 20, 2007, 10:45 AM
I've only had them in the form of Pringles, and I can't tell the difference. If I "accidentally" eat the whole can, it's a lot easier to fix 500 calories worth of damage than 1000!

how does a person "accidentally" eat a whole can of pringles?
Monday, August 20, 2007, 11:17 AM
be careful with Olestra fried products. some people's stomachs are very sensitive to it. it can have the same effect as Alli.
Monday, August 20, 2007, 11:59 AM
11:59 am - you are right
I am sensitive to olestra. If I eat more than 3-4 of the olestra pringles I experience stomach issues. My mom and sister can eat as much as they want and it doesn't affect them at all.
Olestra is a type of fat that is not digestable, so it goes right through you so to speak.

product labels on food using this ingredient warn of "anal seapage". yummo.
Monday, August 20, 2007, 12:15 PM
As the whole-can-of-Fatfree Pringles eater who posted earlier, my experience was no seapage, but definitely "looser stools" - which I consider a good thing, lol.
Monday, August 20, 2007, 1:02 PM
Olestra and stomach problems is more of an individual thing, rather than a quantity thing. Some people can eat it with no ill effect (at least, not an immediate run-to-the-bathroom effect), and others can't. I can't speak for whether it'll hurt you in the long run, but in the short run, if you've had it before and you haven't had stomach problems, you're probably safe.

In 2010, members of the Unist'ot'en First Nation set up a camp near Houston, B.C. in the path of two proposed pipelines. Six years later, the camp has evolved into a healing centre for youth. Dave Ages has been supporting the camp by co-ordinating construction of a healing lodge on the site. He's also one of the organizers of a benefit concert for the camp. Dave Ages speaks with Redeye host Jane Williams.
