Yesterday was Martin Luther King day. That actually led me to think some more about the Occupy Movement and their slogan, the 99%.
Movements for economic justice have repeatedly had their backs broken over the race issue. In the 19th century, the surging Populist Movement tried to ignore race and bring poor whites and blacks together. But it was destroyed in the South over race. We limped into the 20th century without major reforms although the Progressive Movement that brought Woodrow Wilson to the White House enacted pieces of the Populist creed and the Roosevelt Administration enacted more.
But the Roosevelt Administration also steered clear of race in ways that would have an enormous impact on America. It cut blacks out of the major improvements for labor – Social Security, hours and wages legislation and unemployment insurance – by excluding from coverage the types of work that most blacks did, namely farm and domestic labor. Those programs helped to start white workers on the path toward saving. As many scholars have shown, it marked the beginnings of the shift of wealth to labor, white labor.
The GI Bill at the end of World War II began to give some blacks the leg up they needed, but the federal government's role in blocking blacks from moving to the suburbs as whites were doing isolated a large part of the black community from jobs. And the redlining of black city neighborhoods meant there would be systematic disinvestment where they lived and a much more serious racial problem for the rest of us to deal with on top of pre-existing racism.
The civil rights movement of the 40s, 50s and 60s had its back broken, in turn, by battles between blacks and whites and arguments about what "we" are doing for "them." In the wake of that battle, for which succeeding Republican Administrations used affirmative action as their wedge issue to break the black-white coalition that had passed civil rights laws, the alliance for economic justice began to fail. Reagan announced that a new class of economists much more favorable to the wealthy, the so-called monetarists were now in fashion. George H. W. Bush famously called that "voodoo economics" and he was right, as the current depression is making clear to many more people. And with the monetarists, all the things that our government had been doing to improve the economy and mitigate the damage of recession to working people were now passé and they deflected the attention of the working classes and so-called blue-collar Americans from economic justice to a variety of social issues.
Not everyone of course sees social issues as a euphemism for black-white conflict. But enough do. The Tea Party is strongest in the states of the old Confederacy and many of the advocates are plain enough in their claims and their backgrounds. Whether you have seen social issues as a neutral way to target any benefits for blacks or not, it has functioned as a major distraction from the growing economic disparity in this country.
That was Martin Luther King's great insight – that we are all in this together. That ultimately we had to fight for economic justice for everybody. It has always been the case that the great majority of the poor are white. Though you'd never know it from the bombast. And it has always been the case that ignoring the poor threatens the rest of us by lowering the wage floor and pulling all our salaries down. And so it is also the Occupy Movement's great insight – we are almost all in the 99%, and we are all affected by social and economic justice for all. Vive the 99%.

Samsung's ARTIK secure IoT modules and security services promise to deliver comprehensive device-to-cloud protection for IoT deployments. Additionally, the ARTIK IoT platform fully integrates with the company's unified IoT platform dubbed the SmartThings Cloud, enabling interoperability with both Samsung and third-party IoT devices and IoT cloud services.
ARTIK IoT Platform with SmartThings Cloud reportedly will provide everything companies need to quickly develop secure IoT products and services including production-ready hardware, software and tools, cloud services and a growing partner ecosystem. The addition of new ARTIK secure IoT modules enables device-level protection for safe data exchange, interoperability, and secure access to ARTIK IoT services including device onboarding, orchestration, management, and over-the-air updates.
Secure Systems-on-Modules
The ARTIK secure IoT modules combine hardware-backed security with pre-integrated memory, processing, and connectivity for a broad range of IoT applications, from simple edge nodes like sensors and controllers, to home appliances, healthcare monitors, and gateways for smart factories. This helps protect data and prevent devices from being taken over, disabled, or used maliciously.
The modules provide a strong root of trust from device-to-cloud with a factory-injected unique ID and keys stored in tamper-resistant hardware. The modules' public key infrastructure (PKI) enables mutual authentication to the cloud to identify each device on the network and support whitelisting. Users can access the Secure Boot feature and code signing portal to validate software authenticity on start-up.
In addition, the secure IoT modules provide a hardware-protected Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) with a secure operating system and security library to process, store, and manage sensitive resources, including keys and tokens on devices. Information is protected using FIPS 140-2 data encryption and secure data storage.
ARTIK secure IoT modules will be available on November 30. For more information, visit the ARTIK platform I/O and Cloud pages and/or contact Samsung ARTIK.

News that the Federal Reserve will buy more debt is good news for many American workers, but bad news for working people in the rest of the world.
During last week's meeting, the Fed said that it would buy$600 billion in Treasuries. When coupled with existing, but as yet unrealized commitments to buy other debt (MBS), then the Fed is poised to double down on US debt.
One key distinction in the new policy is the means by which the Fed plans to implement the buy. The Fed
is going to print new money and they are going to buy outstanding Treasury debt.
It would have been different if the Fed had done things differently.
I spent the weekend talking with some friends that work in FOREX at Credit Suisse and Deutche Bank.
"I love your smoked chicken," said Bill.
"I love currency volatility," said Christina.
Their take was that the Fed's plan was even more problematic for overseas stakeholders because of how it would be done. The Fed is going to print new money to make these buys. By printing new money, the Fed is stimulating inflation. They are going to weaken the value of the dollar.
Who wins:
- US exporters
- Anyone that owes dollars.
- Existing holders of Treasuries
- Mexicans working in America.
- People that are directly or indirectly long on commodities
- Employees in domestic US manufacturing sector
Who Loses
- Foreign exporters
- Sovereign Debt
- Mexicans working in Mexico.
- Foreign employees in export industrys
- Consumers of commodities
To an extent, many people wade on both sides of this fence. We all have to buy wheat, and most of us are obligated to keep on buying gasoline and heating fuel.
It is also going to help business owners that are trying to seek the attention of overseas investors. Equity in every US company is suddenly going on sale.
On the other hand, it isn't such a good time to be looking for a job in Brazil. At some point, it is going to make more sense to a Brazilian company to buy corn or cotton from the US, rather than going down the street to buy it from a local producer.
The Japanese announced plans to print more money. All of the changes related to exports are similar. The thing that makes the Fed plan more impactful is that the dollar remains the reserve currency. It is really not an option for Australia, for example, to move out of the dollar. They are going to need it to buy oil from the Saudis. They are going to need it for all varieties of trade functions.
Last week, Timothy Geithner said that the US would never use the dollar as a trade weapon. That's a nice sentiment, but it doesn't square with the Fed's actions. Geithner says he believes in a strong dollar. Even the previous administration, led by Paul O'Neill and John Snow, worked forcefully to weaken the dollar.
Obama was in India last weekend. The press photographed him dancing with children and praising the Indian workforce. Note that he is not dancing with any Indian economists. I can't imagine that Joe Sixpack, or Joe the Plumber, understands the wisdom of comparative advantage. He just hears Obama talking about how great it is when there are more jobs in Southeast Asia.
Yet the weakening of the dollar is going to hurt the Indians, not the Americans. We've been propping up our farm economy for some time. Only recently did Brazil move past its anger over American cotton subsidies. Oh, and that bill to extend unemployment benefits that passed in the summer? Another big win for every American farmer.
To the extent that Joe the Plumber is upset, there is also the question of how much support the currency play gains the favor of the left. Does Joe the Co-op Grocer feel better about dollar devaluation? I'm not sure if Obama's base will fully grasp how much this decision is going to help their interests. The middle-class gets a win here, because inflation makes it that much easier to pay your mortgage. Everyone who works for in a steel plant or in agriculture comes out on top, too. It is going to be a good time to work for an exporter of commodities. That could mean a lot of jobs for working class families. The economics are lost.

Total Savings: $3,890 a Year
Frugality has become necessity for many Americans. The recent recession has drained retirement savings and left millions of people unemployed. That prompted Jeff Yeager, dubbed the Ultimate Cheapskate, to write How to Retire the Cheapskate Way. Here, his advice for anyone who wants to spend less. You may not be surprised by some of his tips, but you may be surprised by how much you can save…
Rent a car for high-mileage-driving days rather than driving your own. SAVINGS: $50 a day. The auto-rental industry has become very competitive in the past decade. It's possible now to rent a car for $19 to $29 per day, sometimes even with unlimited mileage. That could be less than the cost of using your own vehicle on days when you do a lot of driving. Example: If you pay $25 to rent an economy car that delivers 30 miles per gallon (mpg), then use it to drive 300 miles that you otherwise would have put on your own 20-mpg vehicle, you'll save around $17.50 in gas (at $3.50 a gallon) and perhaps $60 in vehicle depreciation, for a net savings of more than $50. (The typical new car costs around $30,000 and provides perhaps 150,000 miles of service before the repair and maintenance bills start to add up, suggesting that cars depreciate at a rate of roughly 20 cents a mile, though this, of course, varies.) Driving a rental brings peace of mind, too. If your rental car breaks down, the rental company will bring you a replacement. If your own car breaks down on a distant road, you will have to trust a mechanic you don't know and arrange lodging and/or transport until the repairs are complete. Shop around—rental rates vary dramatically among rental companies. Make sure that the rental comes with unlimited miles—or at least enough miles for your journey. Also make sure that your auto insurance or credit card provides rental-car coverage so that you can skip the rental company's expensive coverage. Tighten your gas cap until you hear a click. SAVINGS: $160 a year. That click means that the cap has sealed. Driving while the gas line isn't properly sealed (or with the gas cap missing or broken) could reduce your fuel economy due to evaporation and other factors by as much as 10%. If you drive 12,000 miles a year in a 25-mpg vehicle, that could add up to as much as $160 in unnecessary annual gas bills.
Wash clothes less often. SAVINGS: $100 a year. Americans wash their clothing more often than anyone else in the world. Naturally, clothes need to be washed if they're dirty, stained or sweaty—and underwear and socks need to be washed with each use—but most garments can be worn several times before they require a trip to the laundry room. Simply air out clothing between wearings. The typical load of laundry costs perhaps $1 in electricity and water bills (though this varies greatly depending on local electricity rates, the temperature of water used and other factors), so if cutting back on washing allows you to skip just two loads of laundry per week, you could save more than $100 per year. Washing clothes less often also helps them last longer. Most of the wear and tear on garments occurs during washing and drying, not while the clothes are being worn. The longer your clothes last, the fewer new garments you must buy. Use cold water when washing. SAVINGS: Another $100 a year. When you do wash clothes, do so in cold water unless the tag specifically recommends otherwise. Not only could this save you $100 or more in annual water-heating bills, it will further prolong the life of your clothing—hot water cooks fabrics, speeding their decline. Modern detergents work very well even in cold water. Hang clothes outside on a line to dry, weather permitting. SAVINGS: $100 to $200 year. The total savings for the typical family can be $100 to $200 per year in electricity/operating costs of an electric dryer. This not only saves electricity, it extends a garment's life. Dryers bake fabrics, which can shorten clothes' useful life by as much as 50%. Zip up garments before putting them through the washer or dryer. SAVINGS: $30 a year. Open zippers can abrade other garments during washing and drying. Even if zipping up zippers prevents significant damage to only one garment per year, that's an annual savings of perhaps $30 or more, depending on the replacement cost of the garment.
See if cellular discounts are available through your employer or a nonprofit with which you volunteer. SAVINGS: $150 a year. The cellular provider that supplies cell-phone service to your employer might offer discounted rates to the company's employees as well. Similar discounts sometimes are available to those who volunteer with nonprofits—they're particularly common through volunteer fire departments. These discounts can be as much as 20% off standard rates. The typical individual's annual cell-phone bill is now more than $850, so a 20% discount could easily save you in excess of $150 per year. Typically, any size company can qualify. Ask your employer's benefits department for details, or check its cellular provider's Web site. Example: On VerizonWireless.com, select "Deals & Special Offers" from the menu near the bottom of the home page, then select "Employee Discounts" near the bottom of that page.
Combine diets with savings plans to reach both goals. SAVINGS: $200 a month. Saving money and losing weight are two of the most common goals people have—and there is a way to make these two seemingly unrelated goals reinforce each other. Every time you're tempted to break your diet with a rich dessert, unhealthy snack, high-calorie specialty coffee drink or some other treat, instead jot down how much you would have spent on this belt-expanding indulgence. At the end of each day, put the money you saved in a jar or an envelope until you reach your target weight. This adds a financial incentive to the diet—and the savings really can add up. One woman who did this for a month saved nearly $200.
Shop for services when they're out of season. SAVINGS: 10% to 20% a year. Many service industries have a busy time of week or year and a slack time. Savings of 10% to 20% or more sometimes are possible if you can wait for the slack time. That could add up to hundreds of dollars per year. Examples: Tree-removal services and lawn mower repair shops often are short of business during the winter…auto mechanics sometimes lack sufficient business midweek…carpet-cleaning services tend to be very busy right before the holidays but in need of customers after the holiday season ends. If a service provider doesn't automatically offer a lower rate during his/her slack season, politely request one. Your odds of success are greatest if you present this request as an effort to help the service provider as well as yourself. Example: "I'm not in a huge rush to get this work done, so tell me if there's a particular time when you could fit me into your schedule in a way that lets you give me your best rate. I'd rather wait a while if it would save me some money."
Cancel no-longer-needed insurance. SAVINGS: $3,000 a year. When you no longer have dependents and/or earned income, you might no longer require life insurance or disability insurance. Eliminating these can save thousands of dollars a year. Example: A 60-year-old man might be paying more than $3,000 a year for a $300,000 term-life insurance policy and a similar amount for a disability policy. But talk with a financial adviser you trust to confirm that you no longer need insurance. When you retire and no longer have a commute, you also might be able to save 10% or so on your auto insurance by informing your insurer that you now drive significantly fewer miles per year.

While working as an ecological technician at the Cateura Landfill, the largest garbage dump of Paraguay's capital Asunción, Favio Chávez got to know and befriended some of the 2,500 impoverished families who lived at the garbage dump working as recyclers. Witnessing the rampant illiteracy, extreme poverty, pollution and surrounding culture of drugs and gangs, Chávez became acutely aware that the children needed something positive in their lives – something to keep them out of the landfill and striving for something more. Favio, having previously been a music teacher, decided to share his love of music with the children, and he began teaching music lessons using the handful of personal instruments he owned. He quickly realized there weren't enough instruments for all the eager students wanting to learn. With help from one of the trash pickers, he started experimenting with making instruments with the given resources. Using scraps of dirty oilcans, jars, wood, forks and other junk in the Cateura landfill, the instruments began to take shape and become finely tuned musical instruments - violins, flutes, cellos, drums…all made from trash. From this ingenuity, the "Recycled Orchestra" was formed with the local children as its members learning and performing Bach, Mozart and Beethoven (read on Go Campaign)

On the basis of the information obtained during the review, ERO considers that Westmount School Northland Campus meets the criteria for registration as a private school set out in the Education Act 1989.
The Chief Review Officer has a statutory duty to report on the performance of private schools throughout New Zealand.
ERO reviews of private schools are significantly different in process and more limited in scope and reporting than those for state and state-integrated schools, focusing as they do on the Criteria for Registration set out in section 35C of the Education Act.
Section 35I of the Education Act 1989 requires the Education Review Office (ERO) to review private schools and to report to the Ministry of Education on whether each school continues to meet the criteria for registration. The schools are privately owned and the legislative requirements are significantly different to those for state and state-integrated schools. Private schools are not required to follow the National Education Goals or National Administration Guidelines.
What does apply in place of the legislation imposed upon state schools by the Education Act is the contract between the persons paying for the tuition of the child at the school – the parents – and the school authority. Those are matters between the parent and the school's governing body. More information about ERO reviews of private schools can be found on ERO's website www.ero.govt.nz/Reviews-Process.
The criteria for registration are that the school —
a)has premises that are suitable, as described in section 35D; and
b)usually provides tuition for 9 or more students who are of or over the age of 5 years but are under the age of 16 years; and
c)has staffing that is suitable to the age range and level of its students, the curriculum taught at the school, and the size of the school; and
d)has equipment that is suitable for the curriculum being delivered or to be delivered at the school; and
e)has a curriculum for teaching, learning, and assessment and makes details of the curriculum and its programme for delivery available for parents; and
f)has suitable tuition standards, as described in section 35F; and
g)has managers who are fit and proper persons (as described in section 35G) to be managers of a private school.
The Westmount Northland Trust provides suitable premises, resources, staffing, curriculum and standard of tuition.
The Northland campus of Westmount school opened in 2005, and caters for students from Years 3 to 13. Currently the roll is 94, including 22 students in Years 3 to 6 at a satellite campus in Whangarei. Eleven teachers are employed at the Kerikeri campus, and one teacher at the Whangarei satellite campus.
Both Kerikeri and Whangarei sites are purpose built and include recreation and sporting facilities. The buildings and grounds are well maintained through high levels of community support. Adult community volunteers support teachers and students in a number of programmes and activities. Good quality and sufficient resources are readily accessible, including the technology required for distance learning programmes.
All teaching staff are qualified and registered teachers. They are well led and work as a cohesive team to promote best outcomes for students. Teachers are well supported to develop good teaching practice. The school's strategic goals encourage teachers to reflect on their teaching practice to meet the diverse needs of students. All teachers participate in Westmount School professional development that is focused on improving teaching and learning. Current teachers' performance management is based on the New Zealand Teachers' Council registered teacher criteria.
The school continues to provide students with a suitable curriculum developed in accordance with The New Zealand Curriculum, and the Brethren ethos and values of the Westmount Schools. Students are provided with opportunities to expand their learning horizons through the broad curriculum. Teachers use students' interests well to help develop suitable learning contexts.
Westmount School has a focus on business-orientated courses. The curriculum extension programme is a weekly, whole-school programme that enables all students to widen their learning experiences in academic and practical ways. Students also take responsibility for ongoing school maintenance through curriculum extension learning.
Since ERO's 2009 review, the school has begun to extend their focus on self-directed learning to include students in Years 9 and 10. Teachers have also participated in professional learning aligned to differentiated learning for students. Student achievement data is well used to inform teaching and learning, and to provide appropriate programmes for students to support their diverse learning needs. Leaders are keen to further analyse student achievement information, particularly in Years 3 to 10, to enable them to further evaluate the impact of teaching and learning over time, and to replicate effective teaching practice.
There is a high expectation that students will achieve their best. Teachers, assisted by teacher aides, provide additional support where needed to promote student progress and achievement at all year levels. Students' progress in Years 3 to 10 is well monitored and shared with parents through reporting and portfolios. Student achievement data shows that students at all levels make good progress during their time at school. Leaders and teachers are justifiably proud of the high levels of student attainment in the National Certificates of Educational Achievement in Years 11 to 13. A large number of students have achieved merit and excellence in various subjects.
Trustees are interested in using the information they have about their school leavers to further evaluate the effectiveness of, and implications for, their school curriculum.
The school's managers have attested that they comply with the provisions of section 35G in respect to their being fit and proper persons to manage the school.
There are good systems in place for the school's managing body to be assured that its other statutory obligations are met.
On the basis of the information obtained during the review, ERO considers that Westmount School Northland Campus meets the criteria for registration as a private school set out in theEducation Act 1989.

Dying to buy a new car but don't know where to start? There are a few simple steps you can follow to ensure you walk away with your dream car.
- Home
- CHOICES Autumn 2017
- 5 steps to help you snag your dream car
5 steps to help you snag your dream car
Identify your vehicle needs
Writing down a list of features you'd like in a vehicle can be a great first step. Once you know exactly what you're looking for, you can narrow down the list of cars you'd like to test drive.
When identifying these needs, it's important to consider whether your desired vehicle will still be practical should your personal and financial circumstances change.
Shop around
Before purchasing a car, it's important to visit a variety of dealerships. This will not only provide a range of vehicle options, but it'll also give you a chance to take advantage of the specials each car dealership may be offering. Taking photos and writing notes on the specific features of each car you're interested in will also help narrow down your selection.
Alternatively, if you know what you are looking for, and aren't keen on pounding the pavement in search of your dream car, your Mortgage Choice broker can help. They can search a national network of car dealers to get the best deal, then have your new car delivered to your door. They can even help you with the trade-in of your old vehicle.
Define your monetary limits
Before buying a car, you'll need to work out how much you can spend, and how much you'll need to borrow. Your Mortgage Choice broker can help give you an idea of the maximum amount you can spend on a vehicle.
It's important when establishing a set amount that you stick to it. It can be easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying a car and ultimately spend beyond your means – this will lead to additional financial pressures for the term of your car loan.
Prepare and regularly update a budget
Creating a budget and sticking to it is an integral step towards securing your dream car. Creating a realistic budget will also give you an accurate idea of how much you can afford to spend per month on bills, maintenance and the like. Updating your budget will also help you identify areas in which you overspend and areas where you can save money.
Research your car loan options
When researching a car loan, there are a couple of options to consider. To ensure you're securing the lowest rate available on your car loan, it pays to research what rates are on offer. Researching available rates will also help you decide how you'd like to pay off your car loan each month. For example, whether you would like to make small monthly repayments and a balloon payment at the end or alternatively work towards minimising your monthly repayments.
If researching your loan options seems like a daunting task, your Mortgage Choice broker can help do the leg work for you, as well as advise which payment plan might best suit your needs. Call us today using the phone number at the top of your screen.

Summary – A top-down review of interesting calls and comments made last week in Treasuries, monetary policy, economics, stocks, bonds & commodities. TAC is our acronym for Tweets, Articles, & Clips – our basic inputs for this article.

1."Fight the Fed dots"
The Fed dots being the projections by the Fed of their planned rate hikes in the next couple of years. The Yellen Fed has always been too hawkish in their Fed dots, meaning their forecasts of future rate raises have been over-optimistic. So it has paid to wait until their aggressiveness is built into the markets and then fade that.
It paid off once again this week. The entire Treasury curve rolled down in yield and flattened. It was already moving that way and it accelerated on Friday morning after the weaker than expected CPI. Just look at what happened to the 30-year yield after 8:30 am on Friday.
The 2-year yield closed below 1.50% and the 10-2 year curve flattened by 2.5 bps on Friday to 78 bps. What would happen if the Fed continues to raise rates first in December and then 3 times in 2018. The federal funds rate will be 2-2.25%. And what if the furious buying in long duration Treasuries continues unabated in 2018? Can you spell Inversion?
What we call "furious", Larry Fink called "unprecedented" in his appearance on CNBC Squawk Box on Wednesday. What is his grave fear?
- "… I just did a world tour and I'm going on another one starting next week. The demand we're seeing for long assets is unprecedented … we have a very aggressive Federal Reserve, People are assuming another tightening this year and another three next year. Could we see an inverted yield curve like next year [or] early 2019?"
He called it his "greatest fear" even though he doesn't assign a high probability to it:
His view seem to be seconded by Lacey Hunt of Hoisington Management:
- "With monetary restraint continuing to weigh on economic growth for the remainder of 2017 and 2018, inflation, which receded sharply this year (PCE is up 1.2% year-to-date and 1.4% year-over-year), will continue on a downward path. Coupled with extreme over-indebtedness, these factors are the dominant factors causing both cyclical and secular growth to weaken. Additionally, these negative impulses are presently being reinforced by the problems of poor demographics and productivity."
- "These existing circumstances indicate that a Fed policy of QT and an indicated December hike in the federal funds rate will put upward pressure on the short-term interest rates. At the same time, lower inflation and the resultant decline in inflationary expectations will place downward pressure on long Treasury bond yields, thus causing the yield to curve to flatten. Continuation of QT deep into 2018 would probably cause the yield curve to invert."
When was the last time you heard Larry Fink call Janet Yellen or the Yellen Fed as "very aggressive"? Never would be our answer. So why is the uber-dovish Yellen being so aggressive? We wonder whether she is doing so to refurbish her legacy as she prepares to "run out of Dodge", as Rick Santelli put it sometime ago.
By the way, look what happened to the U.S. Dollar immediately after the 8:30 numbers?
With real rates falling and Dollar weakening, how would you expect Gold to react?
Gold rallied 2.8% on the week to close at $1,305. We will find out soon whether this was a true breakout above $1,300 or a false one just as we will find out soon whether the breakout above its 200-day moving average of the 10-year Treasury yield of last week was a false breakout or a true one.
Consumer credit and corporate debt levels may have something to say about that. Well, we got two not so positive signs this week:
- Jesse Felder @jessefelder JPM and Citi just boosted their reserves for consumer loan losses by the most in over 4 years https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-12/jpmorgan-citigroup-expect-more-credit-card-users-to-fall-behind … ht
How well is corporate credit doing? On one hand, spreads fell to a new low this week. This trigger was cited by Tom Lee, a one-time uber-bull, to upgrade his stance from his current "cautious" to neutral. His new neutral target for the S&P is 2475, some 75 points BELOW Friday's 2553 close. Interesting definition of "neutral", isn't it?
But is today's easy liquidity masking serious weakening of credit fundamentals? One such warning was given by Craig Moffett of Moffett Nathanson about a historic blue-chip. Speaking about the sharp fall of 6% in the stock on AT&T, Moffett said AT&T will carry "$182 billion of debt" after closing the current deal. Add to its "operating loans for cell towers, etc., unfunded pension liabilities & health care" and the debt will be "a quarter trillion dollars levered at 3.7 times". That's merely one side. If the business is growing well and cash flows are increasing, then debt can be supported right? Not so, according to Moffett:
- With "wireless business shrinking at 2.5%; wireline business shrinking at 6% and Direct TV-Entertainment business now shrinking too, how sustainable is that level of debt? If the debt is not sustainable & you have to delever, it's from the dividend, right?"
When do CNN employees start hating AT&T CEO more than they hate President Trump?
But AT&T is not the only one in this mess. General Electric, another historic blue-chip, was beset with concerns about its own unfunded pension liability & about the sustainability of its dividend. And if AT&T can't afford its 5.5% dividend, if GE can't afford its 4.2% dividend, can Macy's afford its 7.5% dividend?
What is the cure? For both corporate profitability and consumer incomes?
2. "Lower taxes, bigger paychecks, and more jobs"
The above title is a direct quote from President Trump' speech in Harrisburg, PA this week.
Larry Lindsey is fortunate enough to have $60,000 to bet on his being proved correct over debbie downers like Larry Summers. While we don't have that liquidity or courage, we do think some type of a tax cut gets passed in early 2018.
But forget us. You would be do much better to listen to some one far more "wonderful" than us and, more importantly, some one betting a lot more than even Larry Lindsay on his conviction of getting a tax reform in Q1 2018. And what probability does Mr. Wonderful assign to his bet being correct? 75% as he says below. He said the S&P will rally by 5-6% with the tax cut but small caps will rally by 15-20%.
How will CNN employees react if the AT&T dividend gets saved due to a Trump tax cut? Will they start praising him or continue their blistering tirades against him? We would bet on the latter!
But what happens in the interim? David Rosenberg spoke about a fall in the "r" word on Friday:
- "Given what the ECRI leadind index is telling us, the 3-month U.S. earnings revision ratio probably has further to fall in the months ahead"
And Lawrence McMillan of Option Strategist used the words "sell signals" after quite a long time:
- "In summary, we now have sell signals from the put-call ratios, but until $SPX shows some weakness, even a short-term correction is not possible. The intermediate-term outlook remains positive, but the overbought conditions could produce a sharp, but short-lived correction."
Frankly, we are at a juncture where a "correction" is a consummation devoutly wished by bulls & bears alike.
3. Is 2017 like 2007?
Given current valuations, this is a question that keeps coming up. This week it was raised via:
- See It Market @seeitmarket NEW Blog: "10 Years Later… Is The Stock Market Topping Again?" – https://www.seeitmarket.com/10-years-later-is-the-stock-market-topping-again-october-17360/ … by
@Pivotal_Pivots $SPY $DJIA
- "Today marks the 10-Year anniversary of that very 2007 top. And the stock market is once again at risk of correcting as it approaches the very same price pivots. Both the S&P 500 (SPX) and the Dow Jones (DJIA) are approaching their 2017 Yearly R2 Pivot Points! Deja vu? Price fails at the Yr2 pivots 82% of the time. The average pullback is roughly 100 SPX points or 1,000 DJIA Points."
- "All of the major US stock market indexes are at or near strong yearly resistance pivots, where the odds of a big pullback are high. I would not be surprised to see 100 point pullback on the S&P 500 or 1000 point drop on the Dow Jones very soon! Keep some powder dry!"
That was answered via:
- Cousin_Vinny @Couzin_Vinny $SPX looks nothing like 2000 2007 check
$NYAD $UST vs $SPX bottom panel dropping like 2004 https://theclosingprint.com
4. Emerging Markets
Falling real rates in America and a falling Dollar! Can emerging markets ask for anything more? They probably could but they didn't need to this week. EEM blew away S&P this week with a 2% rally compared to S&P's 16 bps rally. But what about the Indian market that had been falling due to the problems we described in our Economic Pain in India article of last week? Specifically, what about the prediction of Peter Brandt featured by us in that article?
- Peter Brandt @PeterLBrandt – Fri October 6 –
$Nifty forming rectangle in preparation for next move up toward 11,250 #India
Mr. Brandt answered it himself:
- Peter Brandt @PeterLBrandt –
#FactorMembers $SNF_F #NIFTY $NIFTY $IH_F completes bullish rectangle. Long.
Technical stuff is fine but what about the slowdown in profits from the confusion generated by the new Indian tax plan? One answer was given by a Bloomberg article titled Businesses Are Getting a Handle on India's New Tax Regime.
- "Corporate India is forecast to swing back to profit growth as businesses resume stocking up shelves after getting a better handle on the new countrywide tax regime. … Earnings for the three months ended in September will increase 10 percent from a year ago, according to CLSA India Pvt. forecasts for the 104 companies it tracks, a turnaround from the 18 percent decline in the previous three months. Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt. expects profits for the 131 companies it covers to increase 13 percent."

Hi guys! Before I fire up the barbie for today's classic burgers and corn and hotdogs BBQ, I have some first weekend of Summer photos of my beach to share. Just in case you're tired of crafty stuff!
The first beach roses are in bloom.
The long holiday weekend started out rainy. See the sheets of rain, off to the far western horizon?
Then it was cold. With a very low tide.
Today was breezy and pleasant.
Look! The crowds came. All clustered around a lifeguard stand at a section of the beach with village access, maybe a 1/4 mile away?.
When the people disperse in the late afternoon, the birds return and begin to feed. Only the piping plovers will run along the shoreline when there are a lot of strange people present.
Here's a plover nest, in its cage:
My birdies:
A very pretty Laughing gull who did not want his picture taken. I love these beautiful small gulls, rare here.
The pair of oystercatchers who nest on the western dune of my beach, whether the dune is there or not.
One of the western open beach pair, below. They are also quite old, I think, and nest right in their exact spot each summer.
And always a thrill---the US Navy Blue Angels overhead!
Gotta go! Beach-hungry folks await their first summer dinner here at the beach. Hope your holiday was good.
gone to the beach
|sheets of rain, a squall out at sea.

Kevin McNamara, who has died aged 82, was the victor of one of the most important byelections in postwar parliamentary history, fought in the snowbound streets of Kingston upon Hull North in January 1966. The various consequences of Labour's unexpectedly large majority were a general election within two months, authoritatively confirming Harold Wilson in power in his second government, the construction of the long promised Humber Bridge and a 39-year career in the House of Commons for the successful candidate.
"I told them categorically … they would have their bridge," Barbara Castle, the transport minister, recorded in her diary, noting that her now famous undertaking went down well at the byelection meeting at which she spoke. This reception was scarcely surprising.
A crossing of the river Humber to improve transport links with Hull had been under discussion for nearly a century, and while the Wilson government was anxious to give the impression that, as Richard Crossman wrote, "Barbara's speech wasn't a last minute election bribe", the promise of guaranteed government finance for the project clearly had a dramatic effect on the result. McNamara's fivefold increase of the Labour majority in what had been a marginal seat represented a 4.5 % swing to the government and the largest byelection win for any party for more than a decade.
The byelection had been fought against a difficult background for the Wilson government, which risked losing its Commons majority. There was economic trouble at home and international anxiety about the Vietnam war. The former Guardian journalist Richard Gott stood as a radical anti-Vietnam candidate and it was feared he would take votes from McNamara, an unknown provincial academic, who had not been the Labour party's expected choice to fight the seat. Gott won only 253 votes.
In a combative and controversial maiden speech, McNamara asserted his understanding of the concerns of his electorate. He was himself the son of a seaman and he knew from his own childhood about the lives of the people he represented. He publicly committed himself to the pursuit of social justice, the dignity of the individual and the sanctity of family life, and he resolutely fought for all these causes throughout his years in parliament. He was an assiduous MP, a fair-minded, kindly, brave man who was proud to call himself a democratic socialist.
He was born into a Roman Catholic family in Liverpool, one of four sons of Agnes and Patrick McNamara. Kevin was educated by the Christian brothers at St Mary's college, Crosby, and joined the Labour party as a sixth former in 1951. His long association with Hull began as an undergraduate reading law at the city's university, where he met Nora Jones, whom he married in 1960. He taught at St Mary's grammar school (now St Mary's college), Hull, where he was head of history from 1958 until 1964. He then lectured in law at Hull College of Commerce until the momentous byelection. He had previously unsuccessfully contested nearby Bridlington in the 1964 general election, which brought Labour into government after 13 years in opposition.
At Westminster, McNamara was a member of the orthodox left wing, a member of the Tribune group, who stood often, if unsuccessfully, on the Tribune slate for the shadow cabinet. He seemed marked for promotion by being picked soon after his election as a parliamentary private secretary to Peter Shore, secretary of state for economic affairs, but his radical instincts and the accidents of political timing meant that he never secured ministerial office. Wilson did not appoint him to government in 1974, and although he was on the opposition frontbench as spokesman on defence from 1982 until 1987 and on Northern Ireland from 1987 until 1994, the election of Tony Blair as Labour leader sealed his future.
Throughout his parliamentary career McNamara was intimately involved in seeking a resolution of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the re-emergence of which coincided with his arrival at Westminster. He believed in the reunification of Ireland by consent and was a popular figure in Dublin if not with the Northern Ireland unionists. Although his long-held hope was to be the last secretary of state for Northern Ireland, he was replaced as shadow secretary by Mo Mowlam when Blair took over the party in 1994.
Blair abruptly told him that he did not want him in his cabinet and McNamara told friends that he did not conform to the image of the new model Labour party – "because I'm fat and bald and green". He was demoted to be spokesman for the civil service but resigned after a year in 1995 because of Blair's bipartisan approach in support of the Conservative government's policy on Northern Ireland and also accusing the new leader that a democratic socialist should not be "an ambulance man to capitalism".
McNamara was also a committed trade unionist, acting as secretary of the parliamentary group of the Transport and General Workers' Union for more than 30 years, and he further bitterly criticised Blair's view of the need for neutrality between employers and workers.
He was always a busy man at Westminster. He promoted several private members' bills, notably on animal rights, he campaigned against the Act of Succession, which prevents Roman Catholics or their spouses from becoming the monarch, and he was a founder member of the all-party republic group. He was a member of the foreign affairs select committee, chairing the overseas development sub-committee, of the Nato parliamentary association and of the UK delegation to the Council of Europe.
He retired as MP in 2005, having fought 11 elections, and returned to live in Merseyside, in Formby. In 2007 he completed a PhD at the department of Irish studies of the University of Liverpool on the MacBride Principles, a corporate code of conduct for US companies doing business in Northern Ireland.
McNamara is survived by Nora, their sons, Julian, Edwin and Brendan, and their daughter, Brigid. Another son, Kieran, died in 2013.

| 18.2°C Dublin
Rory McIlroy will have to overcome possible Dengue fever as well as Alvaro Quiros if he is to end the European Tour season with back-to-back victories.
Two closing bogeys have left the 22-year-old five behind Quiros at the halfway stage of the Dubai World Championship, an event the big-hitting Spaniard leads by four after a course record-equalling 64 today.
McIlroy has to win to have a chance of denying Luke Donald his amazing double of money list titles on both sides of the Atlantic.
Donald, though, will still achieve the feat if he finishes in the top nine on Sunday - and after he completed a second round 68 with three successive birdies he is in a tie for 12th.
The Northern Irishman's health was more of a talking point than his golf after he left a chip short of the green at the short 17th and then drove into water on the par 18th 20 minutes after Quiros had eagled the hole to 12 under par.
McIlroy has been struggling with his energy levels for the past few weeks and underwent blood tests on his arrival in the Middle East from Hong Kong on Monday.
The results were given to him after his opening 66 and showed that both his platelet count and white blood cell count were low.
"I'm going to see a doctor again tomorrow night and she's going to determine whether I go to Thailand next week," the US Open champion and world number two said.
"They said it could have been Dengue fever (an illness transmitted by a mosquito bite and fatal in less than one per cent of all cases), food poisoning or a number of different things.
"My immune system is a little low and it's taking my body a bit more time to recover from it usually would."
McIlroy was assured, however, that if it was Dengue fever it was only a mild case because of the platelet count.
"It didn't go so low to say that I had a bad case of it, but to be honest I'm ready for the season to be done and looking forward to putting the clubs away."
Not that he has conceded the money list title to Donald yet.
Only last week Quiros was leading the Hong Kong Open with a round to go and McIlroy was three behind, but then shot 65 and Quiros managed only a 73 and dropped to seventh.
He could also be inspired by the fact that in October Donald himself had to win the last event on the PGA Tour to be their number one, was only 14th after 54 holes and with a back nine 30 came from five behind to win.
Donald has hopes of doing what he needs to do again, however, after a finish that turned a mediocre round into a good one.
He was down in 31st place when he three-putted the eighth, but after pars on the next seven holes he made 15-foot putts on the 16th and long 18th and in between holed from 10 feet.
"Just personally in terms of my mental approach, that was huge," Donald said.
"It would be foolish to me to rely on him (McIlroy) not winning. I know what's at stake and it's big deal to me.
"I was frustrated out there. I tried to stay patient, but it's tough. I want to finish off what I came here to do and those last three brought a smile to my face.
"There's certainly a lot of pressure. I'm still making a few mistakes maybe because of what's at stake. When there's a lot on the line you feel more nervous, but sometimes it's a good thing."
Quiros, who in February won the Dubai Desert Classic and so has a possible double on his mind too, said: "Obviously they are fighting for the 'Race to Dubai' final top position, but we are playing here to try ruin the party.
"They are not the only important people in the golf tournament."
Swede Peter Hanson, who opened with a 64, slipped to second with a 72, while Scot Peter Lawrie, who moved into the lead with three birdies in the first four holes, fell away to a 73 and is now only joint seventh.
McIlroy shares third spot with England's Robert Rock, while Lawrie and Paul Casey are now tied for fifth.

Two weeks ago, Kendrick Lamar raised a ton of eyebrows with his frothing, forceful verse on Big Sean's "Control (HOF)." During that verse, Kendrick — from Compton — called himself the king of New York and called out a long list of his peers by name, claiming that he's trying to annihilate all of them whenever he raps. There have been many responses to that "Control" verse since it happened, but most of them have been from relative nonentities like Joell Ortiz and Joe Budden. And now the teenage Brooklyn boom-bap revivalist Joey Bada$$, another guy not named in the original song, has thrown in his two cents. Joey's new track "Killuminati Pt. 2″ never mentions Kendrick by name, but it's clearly all about him, and it's angry. Listen below.
You can download Joey's slapdash, inconsistent new mixtape Summer Knights here. It is not exactly strong enough to give Kendrick any reason to lose sleep. Neither, come to think of it, is this song.

As I had mentioned before, one of my favorite minor characters from A Song of Ice and Fire is Lord Jon "the Greatjon" Umber, who was played oh so awesomely by Clive Mantle in Season One of HBO's Game of Thrones. I have often wondered why the character had suddenly disappeared after appearing so memorably in Season One. Well, after doing some research I found out.

It is always interesting when I read something that ties in with another aspect of my life. This morning I was reading the January 2011 issue of Woman's Day magazine that my Gramma gave me for Christmas. In their fitness article entitled more energy now! this paragraph jumped out at me.
"What fertilizer does for plants, joy does for people. Without joy in your life, you may survive, but you won't thrive. Living joyfully is about learning not to sweat the small stuff, achieving a balance between work and play, taking time for yourself and living in the moment."
And that's what I'm working to achieve this year....and the next....and the next...

Tonight, I Pray that God is Your refuge and Your strength and ever-present help in times of trouble. I pray that you allow Him to enfold you in the radiance of His love!!! That when you sit in the stillness of the night and listen for His voice, you will hear Him. When you take the time to seek out the Lord, you will get to know Him on a more intimate level, and He will bless you for putting Him first in your life. I pray that as you spend quality time with Jesus you will begin to see Him transform you from the inside out. Then He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with his Wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. I pray that you hold tightly to Him in childlike faith and never waiver but stand firm in His Word and He will lead you into the light of His great love. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen and Amen…. I Love You All!!! God Bless You!!! ♥♥♥

Teresa is a Christian wife, mother and grandmother residing in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Though she first found Jesus in 1971, it wasn't until 2009, when she was diagnosed with lung cancer, that she truly drew near to Jesus and began living her life to serve Him. Though she was told that the outlook was bleak, by the grace of God and the amazing surgeons and oncologists He brought into her life, Teresa is now 8 years cancer free. She has since devoted her time to sharing the Good News of the gospel with all those she meets and talks to in person and online. She serves as a counselor and "grandma" on several different websites, offering counseling advice and prayer to believers and non-believers searching for answers. Teresa also has a passion for prophecy and the imminent rapture of the church and spends much of her time sharing news stories and Scripture indicating all of the prophecy happening in our world, everyday, before our very eyes.

Insults are a crucial part of life, they're very important and can be used pretty much in any situation at all. Just like everything else in this world, insults are also constantly evolving but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're becoming better than before, which makes us really miss some old school insults.
Witnessing someone getting roasted is way funnier than actually being part of the roast, which is why these people were able to enjoy those roast sessions and considered those insults hilarious. We desperately hope that some of these insults would make a come back simply because classics never get old.

Just two years ago, there wasn't much elbow room in the Harris College Learning Center. The simulation lab had only four beds, a small isolation room, and a control center about the size of a closet. The inadequate space and outdated technology limited nursing students in their hands-on learning experiences.
"Some of the equipment was the same equipment I had when I was here, and I graduated in 1983," recalled Dr. Suzy Lockwood, associate dean of nursing.
Needless to say, it was time for a renovation.
In 2015, funding was provided to build a simulation lab and expand its capacity. Now called the Health Professions Learning Center, or HPLC, the three-part facility reopened in the fall of 2016 and hosts skills and simulation labs for sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Ambulatory Care Center
With a space designed to emulate a doctor's office, students practice assessing patients in separate exam rooms equipped with dressing areas, storage, and calling systems.
The ambulatory care center also features a residential suite — a fully-furnished micro-apartment where students can practice caring for patients in a home health setting. The apartment has a kitchen and is wheelchair accessible so that it feels just like a home.
But it's not just nursing students who use the space; students studying social work, nutritional sciences, kinesiology, and speech pathology also spend time there, practicing hands-on skills relevant to their majors.
"We wanted a space where all health professions could participate in learning activities, not just nursing," explained Laura Thielke, director of the HPLC.
Basic Care Lab
In the basic care lab, students watch their professors demonstrate practical basic skills in the classroom and master them in the lab themselves.
New high-fidelity equipment and technology mimics exactly what you'd see in a hospital setting. From the fully-functional headwalls and computer monitors to the automated medication dispensing system, students use the same techniques and practices implemented in hospitals and other health care facilities.
In foundational skills lab, mannequins serve as patients in each of the sixteen ward-style beds. Juniors learn how to transfer a patient, use lifts, put in urinary catheters, and administer medication through the ears, eyes, mouth and IV's.
Instead of just reading about certain medications, students actually practice administering that type of medication to their patients.
"The only thing that's different is that the medications students give to their patients are not real," said Dr. Lockwood. "The products we use are for an academic setting so it's not quite perfect."
But it's pretty darn close.
Acute Care Center
For many students, the most exciting part about the HPLC is the simulation area in the acute care center.
Simulation has been a vital part of the nursing department's curriculum for many years, but since the recent renovation, the HPLC has much more space and better equipment.
The acute care center now features a larger isolation room, two labor and delivery rooms, and two pediatric care rooms.
New mannequins are capable of simulating natural childbirth and Caesarean sections, and all mannequins can simulate pupil dilation, breath sounds, and a pulse. They are also equipped with microphones so instructors can speak through them from a separate control room during simulations.
Juniors and seniors are separated into clinical groups, in which they go through rotations and participate in simulation labs together. During these labs, students are presented with either high-tech mannequins or human actors whom they must assess and treat.
Patients could show an array of symptoms for illnesses as common as influenza or for much more serious conditions.
"He kept hinting about how he wanted to commit suicide," shared junior Ashlynn Deaton about one patient she assessed during a simulation. "He never out-right said it, but he would ask if he could take his medication with alcohol."
That's when Deaton knew she had to ask him an important question.
"Are you thinking about ending your life?"
"I was glad I got to see something like that before I see it in real life because, sadly, that is likely to happen in a hospital setting," said Deaton. "We were tearing up because it felt so real. It wasn't a robot saying all of this to us; it was a real, living, breathing human being."
Senior Louis Acker would agree that simulation labs make for better nurses.
"In those situations, you're not assisting the nurse, you are the nurse," Acker said. "You have to think for yourself and assess your patient."
While part of the class participates in the simulation, the others watch from a monitor in a separate debriefing room. At the end, everyone comes together to talk about what went well and what can be improved.
"The simulation lab really helps facilitate a strong bond among our cohort. You get to see each other make mistakes and learn from them," Acker explained. This is a vital part of the learning process for the nursing program.
During clinicals, students may work at different hospitals, in different departments, under different supervisors, and treat different patients. Nevertheless, simulation labs standardize the experience among students.
Thielke explained that during simulations, "students see and experience the same exact patients. They can debrief at the end and talk about what went well, what didn't, and coach each other."
This type of learning environment makes it possible for instructors to introduce high-risk cases, like the one Deaton experienced, without the danger of a assessing a real patient.
"When students go to a real hospital setting with a high-risk patient, they've already experienced it," said Thielke.
Better simulation makes for better nurses.
Beyond the Classroom
Students master more than just skills during their time in the HPLC. Faculty and staff ensure that students are learning according to the TCU mission statement:
"To educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community."
"We're teaching them about professionalism, safety, leadership and how they, as nurses, have a significant role in protecting patients," said Thielke. "We also teach them about their responsibility when it comes to respecting patients and being aware of patients' values, cultures, and rights."
Many of the cases presented during simulations have some element of culture, ethnicity, ability, and diversity in populations that students must consider when making decisions about clinical care.
Above all, says Thielke, nurses must learn to speak up and advocate for their patients. "That's part of what they're learning as ethical leaders."
In a community that's becoming more and more global, we need more nurses who can lead the next generation of health care providers. While textbooks and lectures are vital aspects to TCU's nursing curriculum, that's not what makes a great nurse.
Exposure, practice, and learning from mistakes mold students into empathetic and responsible nurses capable of providing the best care possible to their patients. And that's just what TCU students get at the HPLC.
