text: Week 10 Trade Possibilities by Brian Joura June 9, 2010 Here are seven players for your consideration to either acquire or send packing. BUY Carlos Lee – In his first 44 games, Lee was absolutelIn his first 44 games, Lee was absolutely dreadful. He was hitting for neither AVG (.192) nor power (5 HR in 167 ABs). But in the last two weeks, Lee has broke out of his slump in a big way and is batting .340 with 12 RBIs in 13 games. ZiPS (R) sees a .280 AVG with 15 HR and 62 RBIs the rest of the way and that might be selling him short. There is still a lot of room for growth with his BABIP (.227) and even with the awful start, when he did not hit a HR in April, his HR/FB rate is at 9.2 percent. Ted Lilly – He got off to a late start to the season and then got knocked around in both his second and third outings of the year. But in his last six starts, Lilly has been as good as ever, even though his 0-3 mark in that frame does not show it. Lilly has recorded a Quality Start in each of those past six outings and has a 2.49 ERA over 43.1 IP. With a 4.62 xFIP, Lilly's current owner may be in a mood to sell. Most of that number comes about because of a decrease in Ks and an increase in BB. But Lilly has picked up the pace with his strikeouts and in his last outing he did not walk a batter in 8 IP. Clayton Richard – It is easy to see a Padres pitcher with a low ERA and an xFIP one and a quarter runs higher and make the conclusion that he is succeeding thanks to Petco Park. But Richard has pitched just as well on the road so far this season and his ERA was consistent in both April (3.00) and May (3.00). Richard has shaved nearly a full walk off his BB/9 from a year ago while his K/9 has remained steady. Some will point to his 81.0 LOB% as the main reason for his success. But Richard gets grounders, has a low LD% (16.7) and his O-Swing% is up to 28.5 percent. And he helps himself by having one of the toughest pickoff moves in the game. SELL Adam Dunn – One of the three true outcome kings, Dunn is walking less and hitting fewer HR this year. But the most surprising thing is his .280 AVG, which would easily be a career high. Of course, that comes with a .362 BABIP, which eclipses last year's personal-best .324 mark. The additional base hits have Dunn just as valuable as ever with a .396 wOBA. But his fantasy value will fall when the AVG drops and unlike past years, Dunn will not prop it up with 40-HR power. Derek Lowe – Great run support, especially early in the year, has helped Lowe to 8 W so far this season. But the rest of his fantasy numbers are underwhelming. His ERA is 5.04, his WHIP of 1.45 is just barely better than last year's disappointing number and his K/9 of 5.28 is below-average. Lowe did real off wins in three straight outings before getting roughed up in his last start. His FIP and xFIP are three quarters of a run better than his ERA. See if that or his win total or his reputation can get someone to bite on him and take him off your hands. The slider which was such an effective pitch for Lowe while he was with the Dodgers is now a below-average offering. Jon Rauch – After getting quality fantasy numbers from Rauch for two months, the time has come to try and sell high on Rauch and his 15 Saves. The 6-11 Rauch has done an admirable job filling in for Joe Nathan. But his WHIP is nothing special, he no longer is a big strikeout pitcher and his ERA is being propped up by a 5.9 HR/FB rate. Rauch has yet to give up a HR in 13 road innings and has allowed just 2 HR at home despite a 63.6 FB% in Target Field. HUNCH Troy Glaus – In the seven seasons prior to 2010, Glaus played in 115 games or fewer four times, including last year when he appeared in just 14 games and had only 29 ABs. But when healthy, Glaus has delivered consistent numbers, as good or better than the .377 OBP and .480 SLG he holds currently. Playing time is the big concern with Glaus, but he has already exceeded the amount of action he saw in two of his four injured seasons. I like Glaus' chances to stay healthy and appear in 140 or more games this season and top his ZiPS (U) line of .271-22-92-64-1. We hoped you liked reading Week 10 Trade Possibilities by Brian Joura!

"Baby, Let's Play House"... Recorded at Sun Studios in February 1955, Presley's historic rendition reveals the comprehensive love for – and knowledge of – the blues.
Compared to the Arthur Gunter original Elvis's version is much more emphatic, playful, exuberant, tougher and scornful...
"You may have a pink Cadillac but don't you be nobody's fool." But who is Elvis singing to here?
In this EIN Spotlight respected author Paul Simpson takes a fascinating look at this classic Sun Studios song...
"You may have a pink Cadillac but don't you be nobody's fool." Who is Elvis singing to here?
Ostensibly, in his cover of Arthur Gunter's most famous song, the 20-year-old Presley is admonishing his girlfriend but as he improvised that line – and was renowned for his love of Cadillacs in that colour – it's as if he is contemplating the pitfalls that might lie ahead on his road to glory.
Recorded at Sun Studios in February 1955, Presley's historic rendition reveals the comprehensive love for – and knowledge of – blues that later astonished those pioneering hipsters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller with the former admitting: "We were surprised to discover Elvis had an incredible sense of history and knowledge of where all that music came from, He knew all about Arthur Crudup and Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson and all those blues people we revered. He may have been unsophisticated in many ways but musically he was very astute."
Born in Nashville in 1926, Gunter had started out singing in a gospel quartet – one of Elvis's great, unfulfilled ambitions – and got his big break after Ernie Young, the owner of the Nashville record store he liked to hang around in, launched the Excello label in 1952. After singing with various blues bands, Gunter wrote the song Baby Let's Play House and took it to Young. Released in 1954, it was picked up by Leonard Chess and became Excello's biggest hit on Billboard's R&B charts.
"House" was a popular euphemism for romantic numbers in the early 1950s. The same year Arnold struck gold, Rosemary Clooney topped the Billboard hot 100 with 'Come On-a My House', a song she thoroughly detested.
To be clear, Gunter didn't copy Arnold or Cohen either. His 'Baby Let's Play House' is earthy, direct and infused with an emotional charge missing from the sunny 'I Want To Play House With You'.

Played back today, Gunter's original sounds like a prophetic blend of delta blues, rock and roll and rockabilly. He is, in a relatively laid back fashion, urging his errant lover to come back but he's not commanding her – he mostly sounds as if he's pleading with her to come to her senses although, at other moments, he doesn't sound that bothered if she comes back or not.
Elvis's version is much more emphatic, playful, exuberant, tougher and scornful – just listen to the way he makes "school" sound like "skewl". And whether you prefer his interpretation or Gunter's, it's impossible to argue that the King copied the original or watered it down in the way that, for instance, Pat Boone covered Fats Domino's 'Ain't That A Shame'. As rock critic Robert Hillburn wrote of Elvis's Sun recordings: "Far from being timid, Presley – working with producer Sam Phillips – redesigned them. He not only frequently changed the tempos, but often revised the words, sometimes throwing out whole verses to give the songs more compactness and punch."
From the very first, subsequently much imitated, stuttering hiccup on Baby Let's Play House, Presley takes command. The pace is frenetic – his version lasts two minutes and 23 seconds, 26 seconds faster than Gunter's. The interplay between Bill Black's thunderous bass-slapping, Elvis's audacious, experimental vocal – he makes use of every trick in his rapidly expanding vocal repertoire – and Scotty Moore's snarling rhythm guitar creates something that transcends such labels as country and blues and, 60 years after it was recorded, still sounds fresh and original. As Bill Dahl notes on allmusic.com, the performance's decadent danger and incendiary energy defines rockabilly in the 1950s.
It's hard to know what to read into Elvis's improvised warning about a pink Cadillac. It was, as Greil Marcus wrote, "at the heart of the contradiction that powered Elvis's early music; a perfect symbol of the glamour of his ambition and the resentments that drove it on."
Was the future King reflecting on the paradoxes of fame? Or ironically chiding himself? (Quite possibly – he was funnier about his career and legend than he is usually given credit for.) Or was he merely substituting an image that better captured his own frustrations as a truck driver, electrician and singer who had, when he cut this record, become his family's principal wage earner? Given his devout faith as a member of the First Assembly of God, he may not have felt comfortable with a line that seemed to specifically demean religion.
The performance paved the way for Gene Vincent to hiccup his way through his trademark smash Be Bop A Lula, sounding so like Elvis that Gladys Presley thought her son had made the record, and mesmerised John Lennon who tried, with his band The Quarrymen, to recapture the feel on their cover version.
In 1965, Lennon used the line "I'd rather see you dead little girl than to be with another man" to open the Beatles song Run For Your Life on their album Rubber Soul. Although Lennon later said he regretted writing the number, it was one of George Harrison's favourites and was covered by Elvis's friend and one-time co-star Nancy Sinatra.
Decades later both the Beatles song – and Elvis's Baby Let's Play House – were banned by Ottawa radio station CFRA because they were deemed misogynistic. The ban seems a little perverse because, as monstrously possessive as Elvis sounds on that crucial line, he backs away from the menace with a kind of comically syncopated interpretation of the lyrics that implies none of it is to be taken too literally. And the contempt, as his vocal makes clear, was not for the girl but for, in Marcus's words, "a world that had always excluded him", a world where too many people felt it was their social duty to show the Presley family exactly who they were.
A class divide is implied here: the pink Cadillac and the college-education may symbolise that the singer is a few rungs below his girl on the social ladder and resents having to look up.
Buddy Holly covered Baby Let's Play House a few months after Elvis – very much in the King's style while, as Dahl notes, the Johnny Burnette Trio's "romping Oh Baby Babe", recorded in 1956, is so similar it should be counted as another cover. Elvis's ad-libbed lyric provided the catalyst for the Bruce Springsteen song Pink Cadillac, released in 1984 as the B-side to the single 'Dancing In The Dark', and later covered by Natalie Cole, daughter of the great Nat, a singer the King paid tribute to by singing 'Mona Lisa' while he was in the US Army.
Moore's playing was almost as influential as Presley's vocal, inspiring Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page to take up guitar. To this day, Keith Richards is still desperate to understand how Scotty created that feel – and how he might be able to duplicate it.
Presley's Baby Let's Play House reached number five on Billboard's country charts in 1955, his first single to chart nationally. Fifteen years later, he revisited the song in rehearsals for his Las Vegas concerts. The footage of him singing "Come back baby come" – his feet pounding out the rhythm – is one of the most evocative scenes from those rehearsals. Half jokey, half sincere, his run through has the kind of authenticity that makes you wish he had recorded such material on a bluesy counterpart to the album Elvis Country.
Gunter may not have realised it in 1955 but Presley's cover was the best thing that happened to his career. His own records never generated any great sales – the 1995 compilation Baby Let's Play House (Uni/Excello) collects all his best work if you're interested – and by 1966, when he moved to Michigan, he was only performing occasionally. He died in 1976, at the age of 49, a year before Presley. Gunter's great regret, he said once, was that "Elvis got that number and made it famous but I never got the chance to shake his hand."

After all if Elvis Presley had not wanted to be a movie star, he would never have single-handedly revolutionized popular culture.

credit card news
Our experts and industry insiders blog the latest news, studies and current events from inside the credit card industry. Our articles follow strict editorial guidelines.
In a Nutshell: As the economy grew in the decades following World War II, so did the income levels for a vast majority of workers. But in the 1970s, policymakers began to favor the interests of employers over employees — resulting in wage stagnation and rising income inequality. Researchers at the Economic Policy Institute argue this isn't just bad for individuals but also for the economy. The EPI believes that only by enacting policies that favor workers can the U.S. ensure the American Dream remains viable for generations to come.
The United States emerged from World War II as the leading superpower, and, as the country celebrated the end of a long era of depression and conflict, Americans looked forward to prosperity at home. The economic promise of the American Dream held true for much of the post-war period. Wages rose in line with productivity, and even those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder could achieve a better life for themselves and their children through hard work.
But starting in the 1970s, the relationship between productivity and wages broke down. While the economy continued to grow, the fruits of that growth were distributed less broadly as more of the gains were captured by those at the top.
What went wrong? Was that decoupling of wage and productivity growth a natural consequence of economic modernization, or can it be changed?
The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) argues the latter — that the demise of wage growth since the 1970s results from deliberate policy choices favoring capital over labor. And EPI says these choices haven't just harmed workers. When people can't earn enough money to fully participate in the economy, overall demand suffers — which dampens growth for everyone.
Income inequality has risen dramatically in the past several decades, and wage growth has stagnated. Had wages continued to rise along with productivity as they had in the decades following World War II, an American earning $50,000 per year today would instead make nearly $75,000.
"Since 1986, the nonpartisan EPI has worked to include the interests of lower- and middle-income workers in the economic policy debate," said Heidi Shierholz, EPI Senior Economist and Director of Policy and former Chief Economist at the Department of Labor. "Our research leads us to conclude that only policies promoting broadly shared prosperity and opportunity can sustain the American Dream."
Factors Contributing to the Rise of Economic Inequality
Tilting the economy back toward low- and middle-wage earners won't be easy. That's because the legislation favoring corporations over workers has seen policymakers use many tactics in pursuit of their goals.
"There will be no quick fix. Only voter impetus backed by concerted, fact-based analysis will enable the U.S. to live up to the promise it has made to all its citizens," Shierholz said. "Fortunately, the list of things we've done to shift leverage away from workers is like a road map for what we need to do to restore the balance."
Supply-side policies that have tilted the playing field against wage earners include deregulation of financial markets and tax cuts aimed at the already rich. "History has shown that, while financial deregulation might put more money in bankers' pockets, they leave behind the rest of us to deal with the fallout," Shierholz said. "Budget-busting tax policies have helped justify opposition to investment in things that, historically, have supported workers on a path of upward mobility — health care, education, Social Security, even infrastructure."
Those failures have made coping with the upheavals of globalization even more challenging for lower- and middle-wage workers. As the economy has expanded globally, it has exposed more workers to competition from even lower-wage workers around the globe. But corporate profits remain insulated from that competition.
Meanwhile, the U.S. labor market has been systemically weakened through a slew of policy choices aimed at eroding the leverage and bargaining power of workers. In labor standards, for example, resistance to an increase in the federal minimum wage has resulted in its decline of more than 25%, comparatively, in the last 50 years. These policy decisions have also decreased the thresholds for overtime pay and taken paid sick time away from workers.
"These things have all contributed to the shift we've been talking about and are all related to policy choices," Shierholz said. "There's no inevitability here. We've chosen our path — and we can make other choices."
EPI is Making Wage Growth a Policy Priority
Shierholz said the irony in this situation is that economists are complicit. For example, they've argued for decades that raising the minimum wage would hamper growth and cause job loss. "It's almost like we've conducted a natural experiment to see if we decimate wages, maybe we'll unleash growth," she said.
But the models used to justify that argument were imprecise, Shierholz said. States that have recently increased the minimum wage have seen increases in efficiency as wages come closer to workers' output.
The same is true with unionization. A common assumption has been that the decline in union participation that has occurred since the 1970s has happened naturally and that it's a net positive for the economy. EPI argues that's false. Rather, deliberate and aggressive employer union-fighting tactics have led us to the situation we're in regarding unions.
"As we've allowed private-sector union coverage to shrink to single digits and labor standards to erode, we've had much slower growth than we had in the past," Shierholz said. "The National Labor Relations Act clarifies that it's illegal for employers to fire people or to retaliate against people for trying to bring their co-workers together to improve wages and working conditions. But penalties are laughable. EPI produced a study documenting the unseemly ways employers fight unionization and how labor laws have failed to keep up."
That being said, Shierholz sees promise on the horizon, noting that recent teacher strikes in red states like West Virginia and Oklahoma and the fight for a livable minimum wage both enjoy widespread union and worker support.
"Although we have a long way to go, we see workers growing more comfortable exercising their rights and joining with other workers to get their fair share of the economic pie," Shierholz said.
Reversing the Cycle by Boosting Prosperity for All
The U.S. economy prospered after World War II thanks to a booming middle class and wage growth based on productivity. That's why many of EPI's policy prescriptions hinge on "middle-out economics," which focus on the buying power of the middle class as a major ingredient for job creation and growth.
With consumer spending typically responsible for two-thirds of the economy, policies that can increase consumer spending — like support for minimum wage increases and unionization — are key.
"'Trickle-down economics' is such a tired phrase, but it's useful. Our models — and what has happened in the real world — show it doesn't work," Shierholz said. "When we funnel more money to the top, that's an important mechanism for how the whole country gets less. When you're not seeing overall growth, then businesses make fewer investments. That hurts productivity, and you get in this bad cycle."
The problem is that the rich don't spend enough. As income inequality increases, more money goes to people who already have plenty. So that money rarely makes its way back into the economy the way it would if it went to lower- and middle-wage workers.
And Shierholz has an even more basic rationale for the importance of EPI. "From a moral perspective, inequality is not what our country is all about," she said. "A key aspect of the American Dream is that every generation does better than the one that preceded it. With this stagnation in wages, that's not happening anymore. Rising inequality goes against core American values."
With that in mind, EPI continues to amass data and analysis in favor of policies and programs favoring the working class, as it has since 1986. Establishing that the success of lower- and middle-wage workers is a fundamental metric for gauging the economy. And EPI's goal is to help shape the policies of the future aimed at helping everyone achieve long-term prosperity.

The Anthropology Program was established shortly after USF opened in 1960, offering classes across the subfields, and becoming a department in 1967, with archaeologist Roger T. Grange as Chair.
The department grew rapidly, collecting seven new full-time faculty members, including Gilbert Kushner, elected Chair in 1971. Three years later, Kushner and fellow faculty, including Michael V. Angrosino, Paul Edson, Edgar G. Frazier, Roger T. Grange, Evelyn Kessler, J. Jerome Smith, Patricia Waterman, Curtis W. Wienker, and J. Raymond Williams, established the M.A. graduate program in Applied Anthropology, which was the first such program in the U.S. An M.A. track Public Archaeology was added in 1974 as part of the national movement toward professionalization of archaeology and recognition of its role in applied anthropology – again, the first in the nation. Since then, USF has become the leading institution in the state for producing Florida archaeologists.
In 1984, the department created the nation's first Ph.D. program in Applied Anthropology—both applied degrees provided the template for the many applied training programs that now exist across the country. USF's key role in applied anthropology has been recognized through several awards to our pioneering faculty. Gilbert Kushner received the 2005 Sol Tax Distinguished Service Award from the Society for Applied Anthropology, given in recognition of " long-term and exceptional contributions" to the discipline. Michael Angrosino was recognized with the same award in 2011. In 2014, Alvin Wolfe was recognized by SfAA with a special Life-Time Achievement Award, only the second scholar to receive this distinction.
Since the early 1980s, the Department has had the good fortune of being led by five distinguished applied anthropologists: Michael V. Angrosino (1985-1988), Roger T. Grange (1988-1991), Susan D. Greenbaum (1991-1997), Linda M. Whiteford (1997-2003), S. Elizabeth Bird (2003-2009; 2012-2014), Brent R. Weisman (2009 -2012 ), and David A. Himmelgreen (2014-present). Today, the program has grown to include a Ph.D. track in Archaeology, as well as a dual-degree program with the USF College of Public Health, in which students can earn an M.A. or Ph.D. in Applied Anthropology along with the M.P.H.

Human rights reform panel 'won't confront' power of Euro judges
Outspoken: Backbench Tory MP Douglas Carswell believes the power of the European Court is not being properly looked at
The panel set up to reform human rights laws was denounced as a 'stitch up' last night after it refused to confront the key issue of the power over British cases wielded by European judges.
The commission was established by David Cameron following outrage over a string of rulings by the European Court of Human Rights – including its insistence that Britain gives prison inmates the vote.
Yet the commission has already run into criticism from one of its most senior members for publishing a discussion paper which ignores Britain's relationship with the Court.
Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, said he 'strongly regretted' that the paper, the panel's first major publication, did not even mention the row over voting rights for prisoners.
Critics claimed the omission showed that the panel was a fix.
The Commission on a Bill of Rights was set up by the Prime Minister after the Strasbourg Court refused to reconsider its judgment that prisoners must have the vote by October this year, despite MPs voting overwhelmingly against such a step.
Members include Liberal Democrat peer Lord Lester QC, a key architect of Labour's Human Rights Act and Labour peer and human rights lawyer Baroness Kennedy QC.
Dr Pinto-Duschinsky also criticised the discussion paper for including a 'tendentious' interpretation of the Human Rights Act, suggesting it had not undermined the sovereignty of Parliament.
He wrote: 'Some four months after its appointment, the Commission on a Bill of Rights has produced a paper asking for opinions from members of the public, legislators, and the devolved administrations.
'While I welcome and support this consultation, I strongly regret the terms in which it has been presented.
'The key issues of Britain's future relationship with the European Court of Human Rights and the recent decisive protest in the House of Commons against that court's ruling on the issue of prisoner voting are not even included in the commission's list of questions.'
On the agenda: The European Court of Human Rights is one body that needs looking at, according to the reform panel
He said attempts by panel members to include a statement by Mr Cameron in which the PM attacked the European Court had been vetoed by other commissioners.
In the statement, which Mr Cameron made to Parliament in February, he said: 'The commission we are establishing to look at a British Bill of Rights will be established imminently because I think it's about time we started making sure decisions are made in this Parliament rather than in the courts.'
The paper, published yesterday, outraged backbench Tory MPs and critics of the power wielded by the ECHR.
Backbench Tory MP Douglas Carswell said: 'This has been fixed in such a way that the commission can only look at giving judges and human rights lawyers additional power.
'They are not looking at substituting the power of the European Court. It's a fix, it's a stitch up and it's further evidence that we can have no confidence in the final outcome.
'The Government needs to do what it promised.'
Britain takes over the presidency of the European Council – the governing body of the court – in November, and ministers have pledged to use that as an opportunity for reform.
However, the discussion paper makes clear the issue of the court's powers over Britain will not be addressed in detail imminently.
It sets out four questions: whether the UK needs a Bill of Rights, what it should contain, how it should apply, and if readers have any other views on the issues it is to discuss.
But it states that as far as the ECHR is concerned 'we are not asking detailed questions at this stage'.
Blair Gibbs of the Policy Exchange think-tank said: 'This Commission needs to have all options on the table and not to be ducking the difficult issue.
'The conduct and powers of the Strasbourg Court are at the heart of the problem of human rights.'
Dr Pinto-Duschinsky, a former human rights consultant to the Foreign Office, the UN and the World Bank, is an expert on democracy and electoral systems.

Computer Associates urges regional enterprises to optimise the utilisation of their IT assets for improved return-on-investment (ROI).
Computer Associates has urged its regional enterprise customers to take control of their IT asset base to optimise IT asset utilisation and improve investment returns. The announcement comes just days after CA was announced, for the third consecutive year, as the worldwide market leader in IT asset management on license revenue with a 27% share by Gartner in its report entitled "Market Share: Enterprise Management, Worldwide, 2004."
Regional enterprise organisations are deploying the latest solutions to help them cope with operational growth and expansion while streamlining efficiencies to improve profitability. According to Maria Medvedeva, technology services director at Computer Associates in the Arab countries, however, "Regional companies need to proactively manage their entire IT asset base if they are to compete at profitably. This means better optimisation of business performance, improving productivity, reducing risk and accelerating time to market."
The Gartner report also showed that CA is the leading independent software vendor in the worldwide enterprise management software market with a 14.5% market share. The total market grew 11% in 2004 to US$6.2 billion, according to Gartner. "CA's m solutions enable organisations to proactively manage their entire IT asset base through automated discovery, configuration management, software usage monitoring, and cross-platform reporting," states Medvedeva.

Yep, it would be! 🙂
And when the Romans get to China, they discover gunpowder and …. (yep, those little dots indicate a dramatic pause,)
I like the details, they contribute greatly into immersing me into the story, and the details lessen the need for the willing suspension of disbelief. But yes, there is a fine line.
"I grabbed the grips and pressed the trigger, the big fifty cal roared into action as the belt danced through the weapon." The reader most likely does not need to know the details of setting headspace and timing, and that it takes two pulls on the charging handle to get the weapon ready to fire. (and do not ride the bolt forward, the gunners mate will slap your hand away and say bad things about your mother) I know this because on a reserve cruise to the Caribbean I got the chance to fire the fifty, and of course, since it was the Navy, we had to go to fifty caliber school. Surprising what stuck after all these years.
Although when rereading "The Sand Pebbles," it is obvious that the author was a navy machinist mate as it all rings true, it is a real shame that cancer cut his writing career short.
So please, blog posts about the details are a very good idea. And what was the food supply like on the march, and what about the general health of a roman soldier of the period?
Dude! Let your geek flag fly!

British funds slash global and UK share holdings as growth gloom gathers - Reuters poll
By Sujata Rao
(Reuters) – British funds took their equity allocations below the 50 percent mark for the first time since October 2017 and cut UK stocks to the lowest in at least five years as economic growth concerns drove share markets to their worst December in decades.
Reuters' latest monthly asset allocation survey, conducted Dec. 7-19, showed risk aversion clearly gathering pace, with cash levels at almost 5 percent of global portfolios — a three-month high — while bond allocations rose to the highest in 16 months, up two percentage points to 28.9 percent. Equities' share was trimmed to 49.9 percent, down from January levels of around 54 percent.
The poll coincided with a devastating month for world markets: MSCI's world index <.MIWD00000PUS> tumbled more than 7 percent, posting its worst December on record; U.S. stocks, so far shielded from the worst of the global turmoil, are set for the biggest monthly fall since 1931 – the depths of the Great Depression <.SPX>.
Investors were disappointed also by the U.S. Federal Reserve which failed this week to deliver the anticipated 'put' for world markets; it not only raised interest rates, but also stuck to guidance for more hikes in the coming year.
"Investors are doubting global growth and fearing a recession, with uncertainty over the direction of trade wars at a time when most global central banks have entered or about to enter the tightening cycle," John Husselbee, head of multi-asset at Liontrust said.
World markets are also contending with messy politics, with Italy finally steadying after months of turmoil and the Brexit debate still raging, three months before Britain is due to exit the European Union.
Brexit woes fuelled the most notable move in equity portfolios, with allocations to British stocks down almost three percentage points on the month to 19.4 percent, the lowest since at least December 2013, poll data showed. Holdings stood at 26.2 percent in January.
Domestically oriented UK stocks have fallen more than 15 percent this year as economic gloom has gathered.
British economic growth this year and next will likely be the weakest since the country emerged from recession in 2009, the British Chambers of Commerce predicted this week, citing weak investment and consumer demand.
Investors raised their allocation to British bonds to three-month highs of nearly 21 percent, up one percentage point since November.
A special poll question asking what the chances were of Britain opting to remain in the EU yielded a wide range of responses. But on average, UK-based poll participants suggested a 25 percent probability of "Remain".
Poll respondents said British assets offered value but they remained wary of wading in just yet.
Thomas Becket at Psigma said UK companies' share valuations looked exciting but warned that this was "tempered by a chaotic and unpredictable political back-drop".
"We believe that trying to make a call on the cycle is fraught with risk. Currently this risk outweighs the reward in our minds, but the balance is getting very close," he added.

We're back from the hospital. Incase you didn't know we were there, my mum posted about it on Sunday and yesterday.
I had been hoping to come home yesterday afternoon but when the endocrinologists finally arrived to talk to us they explained that they could test in one of two ways.. one was to do an overnight fluid deprivation challenge thing or else to just try taking first morning's urine and blood at the same time. I wasn't keen on the fluid deprivation thing because that would make Abigail really upset. So I agreed to stay last night so they could get the early urine and blood.
What a fucking disaster that was. The urine bag that they put on Abigail at about 0430 caught only about 1mL of urine, the rest of it leaking straight out into her nappy. The blood that was meant to be taken right after the urine was finally first attempted at about 8.30 or so, and failed spectacularly. They tried to get blood from the cannula that she already had, none was forthcoming. They said they'd go get a phlebotomist to come and draw blood in the usual way.
She finally arrived about 1145. She'd apparently not recieved some of the pages they sent and also got called away on an emergency or something. She poked one of Abigail's arms and got a tiny bit of blood before it stopped flowing. Daniel and I both cuddled and consoled Abigail through the whole process. She said there wasn't enough for all the tests they wanted. They tried again to get some from the cannula, which needed to be flushed first, which Abigail doesn't like. None came out of there. They took the cannula out then finally which was good. Since they still needed more blood they tried the elbow of that arm, and got some more thankfully. Abigail was really upset, I was crying by now too and so was Stephanie because she could see how upset Abigail was getting. We got all the stuff together then and left, and Abigail actually wanted to get into the pram which says a lot for how much she wanted to just leave.
We're still going with the theory of diabetes insipidus, I believe, and that's what the tests are aimed at confirming and getting more information on. There are a couple of variations, depending on whether the dysfunction is with the pituitary gland or with the kidneys. Some of the causes are also genetic which I think they want to test for since if it is genetic it would be advisable to have Stephanie and Kristian tested as well. She's not in any serious danger since we are aware of this and once it's confirmed and the details figured out, we can get a treatment and management plan for her. Although diabetes insipidus is really not at all related to the more common 'sugar' diabetes, like that one it can be easily managed and not cause any big problems. Unfortunately, it is a lifelong thing.
She fell asleep in the car on the way home, we were going to go and see my mum but since she was asleep we just came home instead. She stayed asleep for a good while longer, I expect she was quite worn out from the bloodletting. She was really crying a lot. She's happier now she's awake and we've had a shower (they offered her a bath at the hospital but she wouldn't get in it).

China's decision to remove foreign ownership restrictions on financial firms within five years has been welcomed by Hong Kong's government, but many in the local financial industry believe the change has come too late to be of much benefit to the city.
Beijing said on Friday that the 49 per cent cap on foreign ownership at securities firms, futures companies and fund houses would increase to 51 per cent before being scrapped in three years, while for insurance companies the cap would rise to 51 per cent in three years from 50 per cent, and would be removed in five years.
However the change was unlikely to prove a big boon to Hong Kong, since many mainland Chinese financial firms have become very strong competitors, and smaller firms in the city in particular may not have the physical size and reach to take advantage of the new environment.
China to ease ownership limits on foreign joint ventures in finance sector
The change "comes after many, many years of trying to get a more fair landscape for those investing in financial services in China," said Keith Pogson, a senior partner at accounting firm EY.
"During that period though the landscape inside China has changed dramatically, with a real strengthening of the local players and also an evolution of new competition in the form of fintech players like Ant Financial and Tencent," he said.
Pogson said that it may be only big players such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and UBS that could develop further in China, a view echoed by other analysts who said that the changes would mean very little to the large number of smaller Hong Kong financial firms, which simply do not have the scale to take on their mainland rivals nationwide.
"It is always good to see China opening up. However, many of the past opening-up policies have been tailor-made for international giants and are not for the small and medium-sized Hong Kong brokers or insurance companies," said Christopher Cheung Wah-fung, a Hong Kong lawmaker who represents the financial services sector.
Instead, he said, the central government should let Hong Kong firms operate directly in southern China and take part in the "Greater Bay Area" plan to integrate the economies of Hong Kong and several southern cities.
"Smaller brokers and insurance companies do not need to go nationwide, but if these companies could be allowed to sell products and services in some cities in Guangdong province, it would bring huge business opportunities for them," Cheung said.
Others wondered about the approval process for taking the bigger stakes, noting that in past openings, such as when China allowed foreign firms to take stakes in futures brokers of up to 49 per cent a decade ago, approvals have taken a long time and only a few companies did in fact get approval.
"While Beijing says it will gradually remove restrictions on foreign ownership, we do not know how long it would take to approve the first case, and we are not sure how many firms would get approval," said Joseph Tong Tang, chairman of Morton Securities.
"Past experience has shown we cannot expect too much," Tong said.
He noted also that China still has capital controls, meaning it could be difficult for foreign firms to offer services to foreign investors and they would end up trying to compete against big local players in attracting domestic clients.
Timothy Lo, a managing director at French private bank CIC Investor Services, was optimistic about the changes, but cautioned that foreign firms should take a long-term view.
"It will take time for foreign institutions to really understand the local market and policies, and find favour with local clients," he said.
The Hong Kong government, however, believes the new rules will be a benefit to the city.
"We will continue to maintain close liaison with the relevant mainland authorities to explore possible measures on this front through existing communication channels and cooperation platforms such as the mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) and the various financial cooperation forums," according to a spokesman for the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau.
The chief executive of stock market operator Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, Charles Li Xiaojia, said the changes were a good step forward.
"It is a positive sign, and we firmly believe the mainland will continue to open over time," he said.

This sold out event at the Spoke Club generated thoughts, ideas and comments about what it means to take charge of your career as a woman. What strategies do women use to advance, negotiate and secure roles? Senior director of Catalyst, Vandana Juneja, explored with us through data and research what women can do to negotiate and secure more senior positions.
Vandana shared the results of a longitudinal research done by Catalyst which included over 3000 male and female MBA candidates. The goal was to assess how men and women take charge of their careers. This interactive event included a self-assessment survey that evaluated whether you were a coaster, scanner, climber or hedger. Vandana distributed handouts which consisted of "10 Tips to a Better Career", "Take 12 Approach" on how to improve your brag bites and "Negotiate Your Way to a More Challenging and Satisfying Role".
The top strategies that men used to advance their careers were:
The top strategies that women used were:
Vandana debunked the "Queen Bee" myth that women don't help one another and suggested that women should look for a mentor and a sponsor – someone to advocate for you. Research also showed that when women mentor and/or sponsor someone else, on average, they are likely to have a $25,000 higher salary than those who don't.
"Paying it forward, pays back".
The top three takeaways from this event for those who want to take charge of their career:
Thank you to our national sponsors 108 Idea Space, Secret, Ivey, The Spoke Club, TD & Crowe Soberman for supporting our mission and events. Thank you to Colette Grand Café for providing a prize for our raffle contest, and to Tealish who provided a gift for our speaker. A big thank you to all those who attended, tweeted and participated!

Oh Canada
The favorable exchange rate for the American dollar not only extends to Europe. If you haven't looked lately, $1 US will now fetch $1.33 in Canada. I haven't seen an exchange rate like that since I was at an Expos game. If the exorbitant flights to Europe limit your options to the continent, especially if you want to travel as a family, head north. I'm already planning to go to New Brunswick in mid-June for more adventures on the Bay and Fundy and possibly a trip to Churchill, Manitoba in winter to spot polar bears.
I'm also heading to the Canada Media Marketplace next week in New York, something I've done every other year for at least the past 15 years. I'll be with old friends in the travel world hearing new and noteworthy story angles about the country as they celebrate their 150th anniversary of the Confederation in 2017. I've had the good fortune to travel extensively around Canada, biking around the wine country at Niagara-on-the-Lake, sea kayaking inn-to-inn around Prince Edward Island, hiking with moose in Cape Breton and atop fjords in the striking Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, savoring the charming town of St. Andrews in New Brunswick and the farming community of Salt Spring Island in BC, going on such memorable adventures as whitewater rafting down the Klinaklini River in BC, a multi-sport vacation with the family in the Canadian Rockies, or canoeing through Ontario's remote Wabakimi Wilderness, and loving my time in the cities while vintage shopping in Toronto and eating my way though Vancouver. If you need me to point you in the right direction, I'm happy to help!
I'll be back on Monday, April 10th, with my 5 favorite travel ideas in Canada from the conference. Have a great week and stay active!

In a battle between the Dallas Cowboys' last two second-round picks, Connor Williams was able to get the better of Trysten Hill on multiple occasions during the compete period, where the team gathers around to watch specific one-on-one matchups.
On the first rep, the rookie defensive tackle was able to get some initial push on the Texas product; however, Williams displayed his improved anchor, as he stoned Hill before he could get in the vicinity of the quarterback:
Great job by Connor William's of releveraging his hands vs Trysten Hill pic.twitter.com/ZB0mqhu748— John Owning (@JohnOwning) August 12, 2019
On this snap, Hill is aligned in an under tackle's alignment with an outside shade over Williams, who aligned at his usual left guard position. Once the ball was snapped, Williams took a short set against Hill, looking to land a thunderous blow on Hill's frame an impede the rookie's forward progress before it could get started.
To Hill's credit, he initiated a stab with his outside (right) arm and then sequenced into a powerful club move with his inside (left) hand. This put Hil in a good position to attack Williams' inside edge; however, the second-year guard did an outstanding job of recovering, attaining depth in his pass set and then cutting off the Central Florida product.
Moreover, Williams showed fantastic body control and advanced hand usage, as he was able to retract and re-leverage his hands onto Hill's frame. From there, Williams executed a short hop backward to put himself in position to fight pressure with pressure and anchor against Hill's power rush, preventing the defensive tackle from pushing Williams into the quarterback's lap.
On another rep, Williams once again displayed impressive hand technique as he was able to re-leverage his hands against Hill's counter club:
Connor Williams had his way with Trysten Hill in 1v1s. #Cowboys pic.twitter.com/dtyoLXzOBw— John Owning (@JohnOwning) August 12, 2019
On this rep, Williams once again short sets Hill as a means to inhibit the defensive tackle's forward momentum off the snap.
Once again, Williams' outside strike is countered by Hill, who uses another counter club move. Even though he's initially out of position, Williams displayed impressive foot speed to cut off Hill before he can flatten to the quarterback's position in the pocket.
After that, Williams does an excellent job of re-leveraging his hands, as he latched on to Hill's frame. From there, Williams is able to continue sliding his feet, walling off Hill and preventing him from applying pressure on the quarterback.
These are the types of plays that Williams would have struggled to defend last season. Because Williams possessed below-average play strength and couldn't trust his anchor as a result, it caused him to lean forward heavily when defending power, putting his weight over his toes in an attempt to put enough power behind his strikes to stymie a defensive tackle's power rush, which made it easy for defenders to beat him with counter moves.
This year, however, Williams's additional strength has given himself more confidence in his anchor, resulting in Williams being more balanced when executing his hand techniques. Thus putting himself in an optimal position to re-leverage his hands and slide his feet to cut off a defender's pass rush when countered.
Williams hasn't been perfect by any means during training camp, especially when pitted against Maliek Collins, but it's hard to not be impressed by the development from his rookie year. His two wins over Hill in one-on-ones are just the latest examples of the second-year guard's improvement.

Pet owners in the Castle Pines community will soon have a new veterinary clinic available to care for their furry family members. Dr. Jay Brekke, DVM, along with his wife and practice manager Gina Brekke, are opening Brekke Veterinary Clinic in late July or early August. The clinic will be located at 856 W. Happy Canyon Road, Suite 120, near Canyon Fitness and next door to Castle Rock EyeWear in The Village at Castle Pines.
Gina said, "Castle Pines is an area that Jay and I have had our eye on for quite some time and have known it would be the perfect community to raise a family. Better yet, it was a perfect area for our clinic to reach local families and their pets. We've had a really warm welcome from the Castle Pines Village community and we plan to be here for a long time to come."
After completing his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University, Dr. Brekke practiced as an associate veterinarian at Fourmile Veterinary Clinic in southern Colorado for several years.

Richmond School Board race tightens as candidate drops out
10/6/2017, 6:33 a.m.
One of the five people seeking election to Richmond's 3rd District School Board seat has dropped out.
Businessman Kevin A. Starlings confirmed to the Free Press that he has ended his campaign.
"I need to focus more on my family," the 31-year-old said last Friday in explaining his decision to quit his second bid for the office. He declined to elaborate.
That leaves in the race Cindy Menz-Erb, a Richmond newcomer who was appointed to the seat earlier this year, convenience store owner Dorian Daniels, parent and public school advocate Kenya Gibson and educator Joann Henry.
A special election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 7, to fill the remainder of the four-year term of Jeff M. Bourne.
Mr. Starlings' decision has come too late to remove his name from the ballot, which is already printed, according to Richmond Voter Registrar Kirk Showalter. She said her office would post a notice at the polls telling voters that Mr. Starlings has dropped out of the race once he formally notifies her office.
Mr. Starlings fell short last year against Delegate Bourne, who won re-election to the School Board and then gave up the seat to run for the 71st District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates to succeed Sen. Jennifer L. McClellan.
Delegate Bourne's move led to the School Board's appointment of Ms. Menz-Erb to temporarily fill the 3rd District seat.
Mr. Starlings, a co-partner in Jeremiah Entertainment that provides rental equipment for private and public events, had garnered attention with his community back-to-school and holiday programs.
He also won attention last year as a convicted felon seeking public office after his voting rights were restored. He was convicted of embezzlement in 2009 from his employer at the time, CarMax, and benefited from Gov. Terry McAuliffe's efforts to restore felons' rights to vote, run for office, serve on juries and become a notary.
Mr. Starlings also confirmed he is facing another charge of embezzlement in Henrico County. The case was certified to the grand jury July 6 after a hearing in Henrico General District Court, according to court records. The records also show that the grand jury indicted him Sept. 11, with a trial scheduled for Nov. 1.
Mr. Starlings said the charge is related to the earlier CarMax case, but he declined to discuss the matter further, citing the advice of his attorney.

Short abstract:
The performance space of a ritual provides an avenue to transcend cultural boundaries, giving space to taboo topics. This panel looks at language use in rituals surrounding sex and sexualities exploring how ritual spaces provide a platform for reading changing forms of gender and power identities.
Long abstract:
Rituals serve as a means of initiating different members of the society into the secrets of the community. They focus on various subject matters deemed important and they serve to play different social roles in the community. Mostly, they serve as markers that allow members to transit from one stage to another, they prepare members with requisite skills, vocabulary and values that go alongside the new obligation arising from their positions at different stages of life. In many African communities, the major rituals include initiation/circumcision rituals, marriage rituals, death rituals, among others. In different communities, the performance space of a ritual provides an avenue to transcend cultural boundaries and this is usually achieved through verbalisation of taboo topics such as sex and sexualities. However, the rituals take place within a gendered space and the verbalisation of the taboo topics also become gendered. This panel looks at such platforms, paying a particular interest to language use in rituals surrounding sex and sexualities, the changing nature of different cultures and their rituals, focusing not only on the traditional rituals but also looking at other emerging rituals and their spaces of performance to explore how verbalisation of taboo topics within the ritual space provides a platform for reading changing forms of gender and power identities.
