HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP)- The Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield have entered a sale agreement for their Mont Marie property. A nursing home operation company, Tryko Partners LLC., plans to acquire the Holyoke property. Following a due diligence period now underway, the sale of the 52-acre campus is expected to close this fall.
SSJ Springfield plans to retain use of portions of the Mont Marie property, including its Chapel and cemetery, through a lease agreement. Sisters currently living in the Health Care Center and in the senior residences will continue to do so.
Sisters living in the retirement wing of the mother house have been relocated to housing facilities provided by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston and the Daughters of the Heart of Mary in Holyoke.
By fall, the congregational offices will be moved to the former Our Lady of Hope rectory in Springfield.

As usual, The New York Times does not only provides you with the best summer to-do list but also the best interviews. Want to have some insider view into the making of two major performances of our festival? Check out the article below for interviews with Twyla Tharp and Eiko Otake on their pieces!
Twyla Tharp
Q. Why did you make this dance?
A. I'm on a farm, and it's all of this greatness of nature, and I'm going, oh my goodness, what depth of creativity is going on here? Of course, it's God's handiwork, but never mind. I say, I only wish I could do something. You can, you can! You can do 100 11-second segments of movement and put them up simultaneously, and you will have something massively complex and rich.
Eiko Otake
Q. What does Fulton Center mean to you?
A. I can't just think about it like a New York City train station. This is Fulton Street at Broadway. You can't quite see the new tower directly from this side of the building, but you can see St. Paul's Chapel, which is where the rescue workers were. I don't want to be all the trauma of the world, but it feels dishonest if I don't feel the connection to that 9/11 site. One thing I was thinking about was how to situate my body in the neighborhood rather than just the station.

Leonardo DiCaprio and friends take Miami
With Leonardo DiCaprio on an extended Miami vacation, members of his exclusive entourage of famous guy friends have been stopping by to pay homage to him as if he was Hollywood's junior Don Corleone and, more likely says our spy, "to meet and make out with some of Miami's hot women," which is what DiCaprio has reportedly been seen doing on more than one occasion. We've seen Bradley Cooper, Gerard Butler, Mel Gibson, Jonah Hill, Lukas Haas and, most recently, Tobey Maguire, who was with DiCaprio having dinner Wednesday night, "vegan style" at Hakkasan at the Fontainebleau. DiCaprio was also seen having lunch poolside Monday at the Delano and later that night with Butler at their dining room away from home, Bianca. The blond girl seen kissing The Great Gatsby? The New York Daily News ID's here as Miss Universe Kosovo 2011 finalist Aferdita Dreshaj.

Hot or Not: Coral Lips
Olga April 10, 2012
There's nothing quite like mastering a hot new beauty trend. And there's nothing worse than a trend that looks great on everyone – but you. Coral seems to wash my Russian pale skin out. It's so disappointing. I think bright orange and coral lips look so cool and edgy – but it kills me I can't pull it off. I know. My life is so hard.

Honestly I thought she was pretty hilarious. I wish she stuck around, I mean Dominique straight up looks like a mom. Her old hair was all she had going for her, and that can't be good for a model.
I don't see how Allison is this racist bitch for that one comment, Fatima is the annoying one.
i agree!Originally Posted by TunaFests;2829632;
fatima called all the other black girls ghetto... that means she is racist too?
I'll miss Alamela.
Ghetto doesn't apply to just black people. Anyone can be ghetto. That "flyyyyyy" girl certainly was.Originally Posted by guii;2829680;
I also don't think she's a bitch for that comment.
She's a bitch because she talks tons of crap but backs none of it up. She's the most experienced yet she didn't show it. She thought she was better than everyone else despite not standing out at anything. She's extremely self-centered and doesn't take other people's opinions into account (she thought she had a great shoot despite receiving criticism from Jay?). She's also spoiled. When people receive compliments they are greatful, when she received a compliment she was more like "I know right!".
Her elimination was great because there's nothing better than seeing a typical narcissist fall flat on their apple bottom ass.
Hopefully, she's humbled by what's happened and learns to walk the walk before talking the talk.

I'm not one of those people who search for racism where it isn't present (star jones), but Allison's comment was obviously racist. Whether it be one or ten comments, it was racist. And Allison was a bitch for many things, not just that comment. For instance her completely entitled attitude.Originally Posted by TunaFests;2829632;
But I'm in agreement with you on Fatima. Bitch needs to learn how to shut her mouth.
Let's not forget ourselves good friend
I am flawed if I'm not free
I didn't see her elimination coming at all. I thought Dominique was going home. She was entertaining, but I didn't want her to win anyway so I'm glad they got rid of her.
I agree Ghetto isn't based off skin color and thats considered racist to call someone ghetto for their skin color which Fatima wasn't doing. It's also not considered as bad for a black girl to call another black girl ghetto, I'm sure Marvita would have been twice as angry if Allison called her ghetto.Originally Posted by BustaK;2829689;
But in a interview, either Shalynda and Shaya said that she particulary called the black girls ghetto.

I'll miss Alamela.
Love the desicion.
yeah,dominique did worse that Allison is some way, but who did better last week: Dominique, and that girl with so much flaws reallt tries, why I like about Dominique is that she really tries to do better, unlike Allison who felt better than anybody else, even after sucking last episode. Alllison did bad 2 weeks in a row.
Is not something only about her ego, her pictures sucked too.Bye bye.
( I do agree that pic Guii posted is really pretty, but thats it,her eyes are dead)

Giving someone a rose is a great way to show your love and appreciation. The next time you want to give flowers, make a rose out of paper, fabric or even a coffee filter.
Method One of Three:
Making an Origami RoseEdit
1Cut a strip of paper that is 12 inches (30cm) long and one-half inch wide (1cm) wide for a small flower. Cut a strip twice as long and twice as wide for a slightly larger flower.
- A paper with a different color on the backside will make a multi-colored rose.
- A paper with the same color will make a uniform rose.
2Fold the corner of the paper down at a 45-degree angle. Fold it over so that the fold aligns with the horizontal strip of paper. You will form the center of the rose with this portion.
3Wrap this fold as tightly as you can along the length of the paper four times.
4Fold the strip downward at a 45-degree slant. Then, wrap it. Repeat, folding down at a 45-degree slant, then wrapping a quarter of the way around the rose.
- Each slanted fold and wrap will make a petal.
- Pinch the rose at the bottom to keep it tightly wound.
- The more attention you give your creases, the tighter the rose will be.
5Apply a glue stick to the interior fold of the paper after the second or third petal fold. It will help it remain wrapped. However, don't stop pinching the bottom.
6Fold and wrap the paper until you reach the end of your rose. Apply a bead of strong glue to the end of your paper. Insert it into the bottom of the rose under one of the first layers of paper.
7Glue the center back of the rose to another object, such as a stem. Experiment with origami roses of different sizes.[1]Advertisement
Method Two of Three:
Making a Fabric RoseEdit
1Cut a piece of chiffon fabric to a 24-inch (60cm) length. It should be three inches (7.6cm) wide.
2Thread a piece of string on a needle. Knot the end and set it aside to use when you complete your rose.
3Fold the ribbon in half horizontally. The chiffon ribbon should appear to be one and a half inches wide. Start with the folded edge at the top.
4Fold the first inch of your chiffon ribbon at a sloped diagonal. Wrap the end very times very tightly to serve as the center of your rose.
5Hold the center section with your non-dominant hand. Wrap the remaining rose with your dominant hand.
6Wrap the ribbon around the center section until it is halfway around. Twist the ribbon so that the opposite side is facing up. Then, wrap it again.
7Turn the rose one-quarter of a turn, then twist it to form a petal. Wrap and twist around as many times as you can until you reach the end of your chiffon ribbon. Keep the end tightly pinched between your fingers so that it doesn't unravel.
8Look at the top of your rose. Fluff any petals that you want to accentuate with your dominant hand. Pinch them and pull them up slightly.
9Hold onto your rose while you grab your threaded needle.
10Insert the needle through the back of your rose, starting just right of the center back portion of the wrapped ribbon and working it through to the left of the center. Pull the thread through the inside of the rose.
11Insert the needle again, this time inserting it 45 degrees off of your last stitch. Repeat, as though you are sewing a button.
12Sew from the back of the fabric rose through the center and pull it to the end. Then, insert it from the front center to the back. Repeat this several times.
- With each stitch your chiffon rose should feel more secure.
13Continue stitching until it feels thoroughly in place. Knot it through the back. Attach it to an item of clothing, a pin, a barrette or a floral stem.[2]Advertisement
Method Three of Three:
Making a Coffee Filter RoseEdit
1Buy a package of coffee filters. White filters can be dyed almost any color. Brown filters can be dyed or used for their burlap-like color.
2Dilute latex craft paint until it is the consistency of milk. Separate 20 coffee filters. Submerge them into the paint and press until the paint is distributed.
3Put on some gloves. Ring out the coffee filters. Then, lay them out on newspaper to dry overnight.
- Rinse the coffee filters in water to make the color lighter.
4Purchase green painter's masking tape. This will serve as a bright stem. Lay out a 12-inch (30cm) piece of masking tape with the sticky side up.
5Cut a coffee filters into a spiral. Start at one edge and rotate the coffee filter until you spiral slowly into the center. It should have about four rings.
6Apply the very inside edge of the filter, starting at the outside edge, to the masking tape one inch (2.5cm) from the end of the tape. Pleat the coffee filter as you go, so that it looks like petals. Continue until you reach the center tip of your coffee filter spiral or the end of your masking tape.
7Wrap the first inch (2.5cm) of the tape around a standard drinking straw. Wind the sticky edge of the tape around the top of the straw. As you do this, your rose petals will layer themselves into the rose shape.
8Wrap a new 12-inch (30cm) section of tape around the rest of the straw to make your green stem.[3]Advertisement

Talk about zeroing in on a subject... wow!
I was finally able to get my hands on a Tokina AT-X 840 AF 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom lens. I have been after one of these babies for nearly a year ... and then, it just showed up. Yeah ... and pigs are flyin', tonight!
I have noticed that a lot of people try to compare it to a 70-300mm lens, but it shoot significantly longer, effectively going from 120mm to a full 600mm, faster to focus and weighs about 33 ounces, doing it. The lens housing is all metal, not plastic.
It just seems more useful in the Tamrac "Velocity" bag, mounted on the α700 and accompanying the 18-250mm and the 90mm Macro. It's a bit smaller and brighter doing the long shots than the TAMRON 200-500mm f/5-6.3 or f/6.9 was, but not nearly as sharp. That long lens is clearly outstanding for focus and clarity. On a clear, sunny day ... I really do miss the longer glass. "Convenience" is the watchword with this 80-400mm lens, in the field.
The minimum focus distance is serious, though. It is 8.2-feet, unlike the 70-300mm, which is only 5-feet. If I am shooting closer, the 90mm or 18-250mm is going to have to make do. The 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 gets to within 18-inches ... the 90mm f/2.8 MACRO within 3 inches!
Couple the SONY "Super SteadyShot" with the lens ... and you are at 1/30 sec with no problem, perhaps even more (like 1/20 sec!).
Price-wise, at this point in time, I got the 80-400 for about twice what the 70-300 costs. The trade-off for a mere $150 ... yeah, I'd say it was worth it. People have paid a lot more for this lens and been quite happy with their purchase.
I'll need some more time with it to truly appreciate what it can or cannot do, but it looks pretty good, so far. Goodness knows, it's on a great camera.

Toyota reaches $1.2B unintended acceleration settlement in criminal probe
March 20, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Toyota , Earnings/Financials UPDATE: Just like that, Toyota has released an official statement confirming its $1.2-billion dollar settlement with the US Attorney's Office. Our story has been updated to reflect this development and the automaker's official statement has been added below . Toyota has reached a settlement over the criminal probe into its unintended acceleration problems, and the outcome is more expensive than first expected. The Japanese automaker has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to close the investigation among other settlement terms. The criminal inquiry focused on whether the company kept information from regulators and how it handled drivers' complaints about the problems, according to the sources. Between 2009 and 2010, Toyota ended up recalling over 10 million vehicles worldwide over sudden acceleration fears. Fixes include modifying floor mats, gas pedals, and installing brake override software on affected models. In addition, Toyota made the latter standard on all of its new vehicles. The first rumblings of a settlement broke last month when "people familiar with the matter" revealed a possible billion-dollar agreement . That rumor suggested that the deal would also include criminal deferred prosecution arrangement that would force Toyota to accept responsibility but let it avoid federal criminal convictions.
Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners
May 16, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Safety , Toyota , Earnings/Financials A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News . Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs – in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million. A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.

Toyota settles complaints with states Attorneys General for $29 million
February 15, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Toyota Toyota announced today that it has reached a settlement with the Attorneys General of 29 states and one US territory that will resolve their complaints relating to recalls performed by the automaker from 2005-2010, including those related to sticky accelerators and malfunctioning floor mats that may have contributed to cases of unintended acceleration. The settlement includes a payout of $29 million to be divided among the states and US territory, as well as a commitment from Toyota "to take steps to make vehicle information more easily accessible to consumers to help them operate their vehicles safely and make more informed choices." The settlement also has Toyota continuing its rapid-response service teams and quality field offices that were put in place shortly after the largest of the recalls from 2010, as well as a "range of customer care amenities for owners of vehicles subject to certain recalls," though the press release below isn't specific about what those amenities might be. This settlement marks the second major step in the last few months that Toyota has taken to settle legal disputes surrounding the unintended acceleration recalls, the first being a $1.4 billion settlement to address economic loss suffered by owners of current and past Toyota vehicles that may have lost value on account of these recalls.

Toyota introduces new technologies to curb unintended acceleration
November 20, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Safety , Technology , Toyota In recent years, Toyota vehicles have been involved in a number high-profile accidents blamed on " unintended acceleration ." And whether the root cause of these incidents boils down to driver error or faulty mechanicals, Toyota is working to address the issue. One of two new systems in development at Toyota goes by the name of Intelligent Clearance Sonar. The technology is meant to reduce parking lot collisions by detecting objects out of the driver's sight. If an imminent collision is detected, the ICS system will automatically hit the brakes, reduce engine power and sound an alarm. Toyota's other new safety system is Drive-Start Control. According to the automaker, if the system senses that the wrong gear has been selected from Park while the driver is pressing on the accelerator, a warning is flashed on the dashboard and engine output is reduced "to limit a sudden start or acceleration." There are a number of scenarios where the system might kick in – for example, if a driver bumps into something while reversing, panics and shifts into a forward gear without letting up on the accelerator, DSC would take over. While such research is commendable, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has called for making such systems mandatory in coming years. And more and more automakers are investigating and/or committing to developing electronic failsafes to deal with unintended acceleration. Last month, Nissan announced a camera-based system designed to curb pedal misapplication. Toyota says the systems will be available on future vehicles soon, a development that could give it a leg up on the competition if/when new federal rules are approved.
Toyota to settle $25.5M US investor lawsuit over unintended acceleration fallout
November 15, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Recalls , Lexus , Toyota Toyota Motor Corp. has decided to settle a shareholder class action lawsuit for $25.5 million. The suit began in early 2010 after reports of accidents attributed to unintended acceleration cropped up. The class action accused Toyota of improperly disclosing "safety and quality issues" related to those reports. The company later recalled as many as 10 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles in a program estimated to cost $5 billion. The public relations fallout dragged down the company's stock value by $30 billion. The Maryland State Retirement and Pension System, a member of the lawsuit class, had previously estimated a successful trial could have ended with as much as a $124 million payout. If you hold Toyota stock, though, don't start spending your winnings just yet. First, common stockholders were disqualified from the suit in 2011. Only claims by investors in Toyota's American Depository Shares are covered.
NHTSA head Strickland defends Toyota unintended acceleration probe
July 29, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Safety , Toyota National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Administrator David Strickland has released a letter defending the agency's handling of investigations into claims of unintended acceleration by Toyota owners. Republican Senator Charles Grassley has said questions remain about what caused unintended acceleration instances in the Japanese manufacturer's vehicles, specifically whether or not the trouble was caused by electronic glitches. Grassley specifically questioned whether NHTSA had the experience necessary to diagnose the defect. The senator also wondered why NHTSA investigators called in NASA scientists for assistance during the investigation. Strickland, meanwhile, has responded by saying NHTSA did, in fact, have the requisite experience and that NASA was called upon for a second opinion. The administrator underscored the fact that neither NHTSA nor NASA could find an electronic reason for the claims of unintended acceleration. As you may recall, the government agency concluded in early 2011 that faulty gas pedals and floor mats were to blame for the runaway syndrome. According to The Washington Post , Grassley's letter stemmed from tips from whistleblowers who claim the runaway vehicles were actually caused by errant strands of solder within the pedal assembly itself. Those strands could reportedly cause shorts within the system. Strickland responded by saying NHTSA investigated the solder issue, otherwise known as "tin whiskers," and found the issue to cause no more than a jumpy throttle, a stance Toyota agrees with.
Sen Grassley asks if Toyota got off easy with unintended acceleration debacle
July 13, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Recalls , Safety , Technology , Toyota Toyota is facing further fallout from its recent unintended acceleration debacle, with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) calling on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reopen its investigation into the situation that led Toyota to recall some eight million vehicles. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, Grassley has written a letter to NHTSA director David Strickland, stating in part, "Key questions about the cause of unintended acceleration remain unanswered." Grassley's contention is that because neither of the two independent investigations into the issue produced a definitive cause or explanation, further digging is necessary. Most of the unintended acceleration incidents in the NASA and National Academy of Sciences reports not attributed to trapped floormats or other problems with accelerator pedals were blamed on driver error, according to the report, but both studies concluded that other unknown issues could be at play. According to Automotive News , Grassley is particularly concerned about the "tin whiskers" phenomenon, in which tiny threads of conductive crystal can grow on circuit boards. Toyota has responded to the Grassley letter, issuing a statement that reads, in part, "There is no problem with the electronic throttle control systems in Toyota vehicles – and all the scientific evidence confirms it. So-called 'tin whiskers' are not a new phenomenon and do not represent a mysterious or undetectable problem in a vehicle's electronics."

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said on Tuesday the perpetrator of the truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market was probably still on the run and that a suspect arrested in connection with the crime was released due to lack of evidence.
"That's why it is true that one cannot rule out that the perpetrator is still at large," De Maiziere told ZDF television.
He added police had not just followed a single lead but multiple leads from the start, saying it remained beyond doubt that the truck incident was an attack, but that the motives remain unclear.

From Capital Context
S&P futures were down notably
in the pre-markett on EUR concerns.
We note the last hour found
support at VWAP and opening
day session levels.
Stocks closed down, though well off their worst levels of the day, but underperformed credit quite notably once again on a beta-adjusted basis as regime shifts for many stat arb algos were snapped early on and killed the market for much of the middle of the day in stocks. A late day surge back up to the opening level of the day session, which coincided closely with the S&P futures VWAP (the volume-weighted average price of the day that so many HFTs use), left Treasuries still the notable underperformers despite so many people claiming victory over the ratings agencies thanks to the dollar and UST moves.
We discussed some of the reasoning for these moves in the Midday Movers post, but critically there were notable regime shifts today that will bear watching for follow through as we remind readers that the US equity and credit markets were down pretty good early on anyway thanks to the continued denial-denial-denial in Europe (most notably Greece). The break between JPY crosses and the dollar, the 10Y TSY to ES link, 2s10s30s correlation to ES, Bunds vs TSYs, and gold/silver vs the dollar are all notable shifts today but once again the VIX/VXV term structure steepness of last Friday that we warned about as extreme and the continued medium-term richness of stocks to credit keep us from aggressively buying any dips here (yes our tongue is in our cheek a little there).
While we pulled back off the tights in credit as the major indices (HY and IG) followed S&P futures for the most part in the afternoon, this was still the biggest widening day in both indices since 3/21 and it is worth noting that the last time the S&P was around this range, VIX was very slightly higher and HY spreads were 12bps tighter. IG traded up to 97bps offered early on, just shy of the 97.5bps contract wides and back to 3/24 levels while HY traded at its lowest since inception of the series 16 index down to $101.685 (or ~459bps) before rallying back up to the contract's inception levels around the close - which we found coincidentally interesting.
What was most contextually notable was that while equities were dropping early on and dropped rapidly at the announcement of the S&P outlook change (around 10 S&P pts in a couple minutes), credit gapped aggressively across the chasm, took out contact wides from Friday, and kept going. HY managed to get back to offered at the bid pre-drop before turning back down into the close and so did IG - the point being we filled the gap from the pre-outlook-change in credit and then turned back wider but were unable to in stocks.
Notice 10Y Treasury's flatline
and underperformance relative
to the rest of the risk
market in the afternoon.
Stocks also failed to get back in line with Treasuries which while they staged a valiant attempt, after the initial spike higher in yields, to rally, we note the flatline performance for much of the afternoon as US equities, oil, and EUR rallied in sync once again. Did we just lose another algo regime? 2s10s30s disconnected greatly at the momemnt of the annoucnement and then spent the rest of the compressing the relationship almost perfectly - which makes us more confident that there is some real money behind that new relationship (which remember was not around a week or so ago).
In credit land, breadth was very negative as one would expect with around 12 wideners to every tightener in 5Y CDS and notably curve flatteners in 3s5s outpaced steepeners (which is unusual on a day like this where liquidity tends to pool on 5Y and the rest of the curve gets left behind for reracks overnight). We have noted the 3s5s flattening in the index for a week or two as a concern and that is clearly shifting back to the single-names now too - perhaps many managers just waiting for the catalyst to shift. Financials were the major underperformer in CDS land and did not recover as much (relatively sopeaking) as the indices or non-financials from their wides of the day - though did rally off their wides in 5Y while 3Y gapped wider and stuck there (again 3s5s flattening).
In bonds, financials saw net selling pressure from the buy-side as did Communications credits modestly with Energy notably bid on the day. Interestingly given the steepening in 2s10s and 2s30s TSYs, we saw the long-end of the corporate bond market being bought and the short-end being sold - this knee-jerk reaction to rapid rate rises is often seen as corporates 'generally' outperform on spread compression and price stability at the long-end on these moves BUT we worry that this is premature and the velocity of today's move may have mis-stepped a few managers reaching for yield and relative stability of corps over TSYs. The 1-3Yr region was the most sold on the day which fits with the short-end widening/flattening in CDS also. We wonder if we will see longer-dated vol players stepping in to arb the short-dated CDS market here with the idea of 'wings' trades outperfoming in this very binary future we face (Puts vs CDS or dividend-yield stocks vs CDS trades tend to perform the best in extreme scenarios so watch your sell-side desks start selling you on the ideas - we will publish this week some ideas on this trade).
Top-down, VIX opened gap higher and slid lower all day as did VXV but the steepness flattened a bit more into reality. Implied correlation dropped - which we suggest once again is due to the disconnect in financials which we talked about a week or two back impacting the clustering nature of the sector correlations recently. We have seen notable rises in dispersion in credit recently and slow trends down in credit implied correlation and we think sector differences are driving equity implied correlation lower also. It is worth noting that while bottom-up vols did drop from the opening reracked levels they did not drop nearly as much as the index levels and continued to follow the path of up-in-quality vol compression.
Contextually , only a very few names managed gains in both equity and credit today (an interesting bunch - MAR, TOL, HOT, DHI, PEP, and SVU) as homebuilders were interestingly near the top on the list of better performers in credit (which we suspect was related to the underperformance of the CMBX and ABX tranche markets as well as the higher beta exposure in some of the credit indices). Every sector was in agreement between credit and equity with a deteriorating move today as we note financials, leisure, and media were the worst beta-adjusted in credit relative to stocks on the day. Capital Goods, Utilities, and Consumer Noncyclicals performed the relative worst in stocks versus credit.
The up-in-quality theme in credit is increasingly leaking into vol as we saw much less impact higher in vols in better-rated credits than in lower-rated credits. This was also the picture in credit though we did see the very highest rated names underperforming (financials?). This picture was somewhat different in equity-land where BB-rated and below names saw their stocks drop far less than A- rated and above names - once again we think this is to do with both financials dominating performance as well as the typical ratings/momentum correlation unwind.
Bottom-Line : while there were plenty of significant shifts today, and we exited our very profitable ETF-based capital structure arb , we remain of the opinion that stocks have room to the downside and are not heeding the risks being called out from the archaic corners of the credit and vol space. We suspect a few algos might have been washed out early on today and while FX vol continues to rise, sharpe ratios will reduce the desire for FX-based carry leverage. Watch 2s10s30s for signals, HY credit for flows, and stay hedged in the A-List (which has outperformed recently as we expect it to do - just as the long-short book we track done considerably better).
Obviously the story of the day - oh yeah aside from the USA elephant in the room and Goolsbee's 'helpful' thoughts - was the continued destruction of any credibility for any European politician. There was littel to no let up in selling pressure as CDS and bond spreads (and yields) drifted higher all day and saw no help from any US recovery in the afternoon.
The yields of the PIIGS continue
to increase and some break
new highs - note Spain
diverging friom Italy also.
SovX closed at the wides of the channel of the last 3 months - back at mid-Jan levels while many of the underlying names broke to new record wides including Greece which traded over 1300bps early in the day for 5Y protection. Echoing the Midday Movers comments, there was widespread selling among every sovereign (though we note that USA has shifted back notably wide of Germany - which widened also today - to its widest difference in three months). This time though it did catch on and the contagion spread to non-financials more than it has in recent weeks. CEEMEA sovereigns were alo very weak today - double-whammied by the contagion and oil price drops early on.
Main Ex-Financials widened 3.5bps (the biggest single day move since inception of this contract) which we have not seen much of as it has tended to be segregated in financials recently. The spread between senior and subordinated financials rose by 6bps - now 20bps wider on the week and broke back above 100bps (to 106bps). XOver and FINLs tracked wider and underlying single-names kept pace with the index moves but we note that Main underperformed intrinsics on the day and still remains over 2bps rich - we suspect the 'cheapness' of XOver and richness of Main points to the popularity of the decompression trade and while IG (in the US) is not as rich, HY remains 10-14bps wide of fair-value in 5Y and 5-8bps tight in 3Y (again suggesting our flattener idea is catching on).
Banks dominated the weakest performers and we note Glencore (so much in the news with its IPO) is also underperforming. Only Utilities and very low beta credits outperformed today in Europe - Henkel, LVMH, and Suedzucker were among them.
Same story as the others - banks were underperformers and the rest of corporate credit and sovereign risk tended to trend along wider. Interestingly Japan outperformed today (well was unch anyway) as Asia ex-Japan widened a notable 3bps - slightly underperforming Asian sovereigns which averaged 2.5bps decompression.
Aussie was more mixed but saw a similar theme though moves were minimal at best as the ITRX AUS index widened around 1bps.
Index/Intrinsics Changes
+1.5bps to 95.75 ($-0.05 to $100.16) (FV +1.45bps to 94.19) (104 wider - 11 tighter <> 51 steeper - 72 flatter) - No Trend.
CDX16 HVOL +2.1bps to 155.7 (FV +2.38bps to 154.45) (24 wider - 3 tighter <> 11 steeper - 18 flatter) - No Trend.

CDX16 HY (30% recovery) Px $-0.44 to $102 / +10.7bps to 450.7 (FV +6.89bps to 438.38) (84 wider - 9 tighter <> 31 steeper - 64 flatter) - Trend Wider.
LCDX15 (70% recovery) Px $-0.22 to $101.375 / +5.63bps to 242.85 - No Trend.
MCDX15 +4bps to 152bps. - No Trend.
ITRX15 Main +4.35bps to 102.1bps (FV+3.3bps to 104.1bps).
ITRX15 HiVol +4.04bps to 140.04bps (FV+4.28bps to 138.79bps).
ITRX15 Xover +13.64bps to 381.64bps (FV+12.07bps to 368.41bps).
ITRX15 FINLs +7.38bps to 138.88bps (FV+7.63bps to 142.67bps).
DXY strengthened 0.89% to 75.5.
Oil fell $2.26 to $107.4.
Gold rose $9.65 to $1496.35.
VIX increased 1.64pts to 17%.
10Y US Treasury yields fell 3.7bps to 3.37%.
S&P500 Futures lost 1.36% to 1300.8.
Spreads were broadly wider in the US as all the indices deteriorated. IG trades 4.4bps wide (cheap) to its 50d moving average, which is a Z-Score of 1.4s.d.. At 95.75bps, IG has closed tighter on 155 days in the last 591 trading days (JAN09). The last five days have seen IG flat to its 50d moving average. HY trades 18.1bps wide (cheap) to its 50d moving average, which is a Z-Score of 1.5s.d. and at 451bps, HY has closed tighter on 77 days in the last 591 trading days (JAN09). Indices typically underperformed single-names with skews widening in general.
Comparing the relative HY and IG moves to their 50-day rolling beta, we see that HY underperformed by around 2.3bps (or 21%). Interestingly, based on short-run empirical betas between IG, HY, and the S&P, stocks underperformed HY by an equivalent 13.3bps, and stocks underperformed IG by an equivalent 3.6bps - (implying IG outperformed HY (on an equity-adjusted basis)).
Among the IG16 names in the US , the worst performing names (on a DV01-adjusted basis) were SLM Corp (+8bps) [+0.06bps], American International Group, Inc. (+5.34bps) [+0.04bps], and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (+5bps) [+0.04bps], and the best performing names were Toll Brothers, Inc. (-2bps) [-0.02bps], Du Pont E.I. de Nemours & Co (-1.24bps) [-0.01bps], and Autozone Inc. (-1.02bps) [-0.01bps] // (absolute spread chg) [HY index impact].
Among the HY16 names in the US , the worst performing names (on a DV01-adjusted basis) were Community Health Systems Inc (+41.44bps) [+0.39bps], Energy Future Holdings Corp. (+43.01bps) [+0.28bps], and PMI Group Inc/The (+34.24bps) [+0.28bps], and the best performing names were Nova Chemicals Corp. (-41.25bps) [-0.43bps], Liz Claiborne Inc. (-10.51bps) [-0.1bps], and CSC Holdings, LLC (-5bps) [-0.05bps] // (absolute spread chg) [HY index impact].
For those looking for entry levels in IG and HY, our pivots suggest short credit at 97.125bps in IG and 460bps in HY and long credit at 93.5bps in IG and 436bps in HY with stops at 95.25bps for IG and 447bps for HY. From Friday's levels we would be short HY and IG credit at 456bps and 96bps respectively with stops at 447bps and 95.25bps respectively

I actually put that in there initially that I wasn't judging him at all and that it actually seemed a little too crazy to be true. I don't hate anyone but I especially not someone who I have no personal relationship with. Wasn't trying to pick on him either.
Simply trying to show what might happen in the next few weeks or months to come since this can have monumental effects on the landscape of boxing.
With a pending lawsuit -- word is lawyers are trying to negotiate promotional rights in exchange for voiding any non-compete (which according to California law is difficult to enforce, anyway) -- this looks like it will result in a suit.
And stories like the ones in circulation, that I then chose to include, may be brought in to really make things messy. That's all that was.
I don't really have any feelings towards Oscar De La Hoya either way; if I had to think, the most pervasive one would probably be empathy (not sympathy, though), and admiration:
You can only respect top-level athletes that reach the pinnacle of their field because it takes a special person to reach that pinnacle so in many ways I'm a fan of his as a person. (As far as the public boxing persona, I'm rather indifferent.)
And in all honesty, if someone makes bad choices and it's reported, that doesn't mean the New York Post dislikes him. It's like the old saying goes, "don't kill the messenger."
Sorta like when everyone got upset with Tim Smith and Teddy Atlas for going with a story that emails about doping were exchanged between the Mayweather and Pacquiao camps back in late 2009/early 2010.
They were not the ones saying it, they just reported what the source told them.
Man! I really missed the mark with what I was trying to do here. Sorry for that, guys. I wasn't trying to discredit anyone. I really, truly just tried to post information that I thought people would be interested in.

|Helen Crawford in Five Brahms Waltzes
in the manner of Isadora Duncan
Photo: Tristram Kenton / ROH
Scènes de Ballet/ Five Brahms Waltzes in the manner of Isadora Duncan/ Symphonic Variations / A Month in the Country, Royal Ballet, Royal Opera House - reviewed on 22nd October
The Royal Ballet's Frederick Ashton quadruple bill is mixed in quality. The rapid footwork and geometric shapes of Scènes de Ballet and Symphonic Variations feel under rehearsed, but the evening's other two works delight.
In Five Brahms Waltzes in the manner of Isadora Duncan, Romany Pajdak gives a confident and engaging performance as the title dancer. But it is the beautiful choreography, evocative Chopin music and well-considered interpretations of A Month in the Country that please most. Natalia Osipova excels as the unfulfilled housewife, dancing an exquisite duet with lover Federico Bonelli. Francesca Hayward also impresses as Osipova's daughter. It's heart-breaking that the characters don't get a happy ending.

Ruthenium Red - solubility, purity and optical density (molar extinction coeffic - (Sep/11/2013 )
We bought a new batch of Ruthenium Red from Tocris (Cat.No.: 1439, 100 mg powder). Based on literature RR(=Ruthenium Red) has a molar extinction coefficient around 61000-68000 /M/cm at 533-538 nm. However, this newly bought product gives only about 4500-7000 /M/cm (533 nm) in spite of the sonication/stirring/or warming and stirring (60 C, waterbath) of the stock solution (3mM, 5mM and 10 mM, in distilled water). So we have also problems with solubility, but this huge difference at mol.ext. coefficient can not be explained by the less serious problem on solubility. The biological effect of this new RR is also much less than that of the previous stock (rather old from another firm).
Thank you very much for your kind help in advance!
Gabriella Braun
PhD student
the apparently lower extinction coefficient may be due to impurities. have you taken % purity into account?

Ask a Doctor and Get an Answer to Your Medical Question ASAP
The views expressed by me are for educational purposes only and do not establish a doctor patient relationship.
Hi Vincent,
I am Mysticdoc, experienced Internal Medicine Specialist.
I am here to help you with your concerns.
Based on the symptoms, it sounds like food poisoning.
Since both of you are sick, this is likely from contaminated food or water.
Stomach flu is another possibility.
Yes. Many thanks for the quick answer. What shall we do?
Ofcourse, drink plenty of fluids like Gatorade if possible to avoid dehydration.
However, if you cannot keep anything down, then anti nausea medication injection ( compazine) is required.
For that purpose and IV hydration, it is better to go to the local hospital.
The symptoms usually improve within 24 to 48 hours.
But severe dehydration should be avoided as that can cause kidney failure.
So you think it is very serious and we need to start to worry?
it can become serious if the symptoms are worsening.
Hydration is very important.
Water is not enough correct?
has to be oral rehydrating solution or and electrolyte rich fluid.
Like gatorade?
yes correct
All right. So to conclude, we need to start worrying if symptoms are worsening in the next hours?
And in the meantime => gatorade.
Would you happen to know a website with 24/7 emergency hospital locations in UK?
Great. Many thanks for your help tonight.
very welcome
Best wishes,
Please rate the chat Good or Excellent, if you are satisfied with our conversation and do not have any further question, so that I get rewarded for my time & effort. Thank you!

China Tries Again With Big North American Energy Buy
Cnooc Ltd is offering $15.1 billion in cash to buy Canadian oil sands giant Nexen (NYSE: NXY) – a deal that may test nationalist sentiment throughout North America.
It's the largest attempted buy of a North American energy company since Cnooc tried an $18.5 billion takeout of U.S. oil and gas company Unocal in 2005 – one that met with backlash from U.S. politicians amid worries about national interest.
Nexen also has assets in the Gulf of Mexico.
State-owned Cnooc is offering a 61 percent premium based on Nexen's last closing price. If completed, it would mark the largest foreign acquisition every by a Chinese company.
The premium may also draw attention to other Canadian energy companies with international assets, including Talisman Energy (NYSE: TLM), up 8 percent in premarket trading, and possibly Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), which also is a large oil sands play.
China first made a $120 million investment for a stake in a small Canadian oil sands company in 2005, then made a $2 billion acquisition of Opti Canada in November.
The offer for Nexen, however, is more than seven times the size of any past Cnooc investment in North America.
Of note, China has blocked foreign investments in the past, most recently in 2010 when it stopped BHP Billion's (NYSE: BHP) $39 billion hostile takeover of Canadian fertilizer producer Potash (NYSE: POT).
The Nexen deal does have several built-in features to potentially soothe worried regulators. Also, Cnooc plans to retain Nexen's management team, and to keep Calgary as the company's North and Central American headquarters.
