Payroll and Salary Deductions: The Basics
If you have never really looked at your payslip or perhaps it's your first job and the first time you have looked at a payslip, it is worth spending a few minutes getting to know what the different deductions and payroll details are. Understanding your payslip and payroll deductions allows you to identify potential errors and know what to do when mistakes are made so you can claim back any overpaid tax. The guides below are easy to read and designed to provide a basic understanding of payslip and payroll deductions.
Related Calculations and Tools
Pay Slip Example
A simple payslip example for an annual salary of £621.00. A quick tool that allows you to compare your own payslip. Select specific months to see how your future payslips will look including total earnings and deductions. Useful for understanding your total income and deductions for financial planning such as mortgage calculation or loan affordability etc.
Tax and Payroll Deductions Calculation
We believe that tax and payroll calculations should be transparent. This tool provides the calculations and breakdown of results that are used to produce the PAYE, National Insurance, Pension, Dividend, Student Loan, Salary Sacrifice, etc. calculations used in our Tax, Payroll and Salary Calculators. If you don't understand how your wages are calculated and have no idea what goes on in the background behind your payslip, this is the perfect tool for building your understanding. We believe that it is important to understand how your tax is calculated so that, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer announces new Income Tax rates and changes to PAYE Tax Thresholds, you understand how that will affect your £621.00 Salary.
PAYE and Payroll Analysis
You never know where you are until you know where you have been. As we discussed in the £621.00 Tax and Payroll Deductions Calculations, understanding your salary and payroll deductions is essential. In this suite of salary calculations we review and compare historical tax deductions with a view to providing insight into how tax and payroll deductions have influenced the take home pay of a £621.00 annual salary. We also review each deduction and provide a table of the associated deductions and line and pie charts to illustrate the differences. The aim of these tools is to allow insight into the makeup and trend of salary against a fixed annual income of £621.00. We also reverse engineer the £621.00 salary to reflect inflation change over the year.
Employer Payroll Calculations
As an employer it is important to understand your holistic employment costs when taking on new staff or increasing / decreasing salaries. The employer payroll calculation for an employee on a £621.00 salary illustrates you Employer National Insurance Contributions (ENICs) and associated Pension costs to provide a cost of employment calculation. The employer payroll calculation also includes historical information so you can understand how employment costs have changed over the years as payroll taxes have been adjusted and new employer legislation introduction.
End of Tax Year and P60 checks
It's incredible how quickly the years pass but not as incredible as the sum of overpaid, unclaimed tax that sits within the treasury each year simply because individuals don't make the basic checks on their P60. It is wrong to assume that HMRC get your tax calculations right every year. Whilst electronic payslips (epayslips) have facilitated a more accurate and timely flow or financial information to and from HMRC mistakes are still made. Typical mistakes include the incorrect setup of salary sacrifice schemes, pension schemes and applying the wrong tax code. In addition to this you can also claim back the unclaimed tax relief on your donations. We brits are great at donating to worthy causes like Comic Relief, Sport Relief, Help for Heroes and other domestic charities but most never claim back their tax relief. For a basic rate tax payer that is £5 of tax relief for every £20 you donate. If you don't claim that back, the treasury keep it. So, don't wait for the end of the tax year, give yourself a quick finance MOT, our P60 section explains all you need to know and what to do to get your money back.
Dividends Calculator
The Dividends calculator allow you to adjust the split of your £621.00 income by using a slider to alter the percentage split you take as salary or via a dividend. This tool allows you to understand which solution is best for your circumstances. The £621.00 Dividend calculator will automatically calculate Corporation Tax, Dividend Tax and all associated payroll deductions so you can make an informed decision on the most appropriate income stream. This is a great tool for contractors and company directors and popular with those who and looking at the benefits of setting up their own limited company rather than working as a sole trader or as an employee looking to start their own business.

Instructor(s) Findley, Keith, Sperling, Carrie
Hundreds of wrongly convicted people in the United States have been exonerated by postconviction DNA testing in the past two decades. Hundreds more have been exonerated by other types as evidence as well. As a consequence, wrongful convictions have emerged as a serious concern in the criminal justice system. This course examines the rise of the Innocence Movement and the lessons learned from the wrongful convictions cases. The course examines the causes or recurring features of wrongful convictions, including eyewitness identification error, false confessions, flawed forensic science, and others. The course then considers the way the legal system responds to such errors; it examines legal avenues for postconviction relief, including both state-based remedies and federal habeas corpus; and it considers the obstacles to and availability of compensation for wrongful convictions. Both practice and policy implications of error in the criminal justice system are examined.

text: Sociology Professor Vince Bolduc receives 2012 teaching award News Home 10.02.12 South Burlington resident Vincent L. Bolduc, Saint Michael's College professor of sociology, received the 2012 Joanne Rathgeb Teaching Award, presented in ceremonies held September 28 at the annual Saint Michael's College Academic Convocation in the SMC McCarthy Arts Center. Professor Bolduc was selected by his faculty colleagues, and the citation was read by the 2010 recipient of the award, geography professor Richard Kujawa. The citation: "Vince engages students intellectually, morally, spiritually" Vince Bolduc provides an excellent model for students who are all too often used to experiencing the great divide in higher education between spirit and intellect, service and education, research and teaching, community and classroom. His course Work, Education, and Vocation deeply engages the student on the intellectual, moral, spiritual and vocational questions all at once. As one student said, Vince sets up his classes in a way that "extends far beyond surface level learning and rote memorization of course material...course material is presented in a way that encourages us to view it as a lifelong shift of perspective rather than a jumble of facts that will be forgotten after finals." Numerous students have also commented on the way in which his courses have helped them reflect on how they will each try and make the world a better place. One student said, "he's influenced my life, not just my brain and not all teachers do that" while another student wrote "he challenged me to apply my faith, and personal journey with service and religion he knew I practiced, to all classes I took with him." It is these kinds of holistic responses to the entire moral, spiritual and intellectual trajectories of student lives that are characteristic of student reflections on his teaching. A mentor and wise elder Vince has a truly gentle, kind and down to earth character. Unlike many younger professors, Vince has qualities of a mentor and wise elder. He doesn't rush, he listens well. Students speak of having been moved by his humbleness, his profound dedication, his sharing of his home, and his devotion to the importance of the sociological vision in crafting a good life and addressing issues of social justice. Alumni describe his influence as still informing and enriching their decisions outside of the classroom, even years after they have graduated. In talking with students over the years, it becomes apparent that Vince's teaching is truly organic; the questions he raises and the challenges he presents around issues of social justice, poverty and social inequality stay with them in a way that other professors' lectures might not. Vince's teaching, with its emphasis on service and experiential learning, his willingness to involve students in his own research, his enormous dedication to the betterment of their lives, enters the student almost viscerally, hitting their core and informing their ultimate concerns for years to come.

The Confluence Psychology Alliance student group hosted its Fifth Annual Undergraduate Research Conference at Point Park on Dec. 7, featuring research presentations by psychology seminar students and a keynote speech from Leswin Laubscher, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Duquesne University.
"More than 80 people attended the event, including parents and spouses, in which we celebrated our students' achievements in qualitative research," said Robert McInerney, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Point Park. "In addition, Dr. Laubscher's keynote address was intellectual, empathic and inspiring."
Laubscher has taught and done research in both the United States and South Africa. He is one of the principal researchers in an expansive international study that seeks to archive and analyze memories of apartheid experiences.
Previous keynote speakers at the Confluence's Annual Undergraduate Research Conference have included psychology scholars Alan Pope, Ph.D.; Mary Jo Loughran, Ph.D.; Russell Walsh, Ph.D.; and Alphonso Lingis, Ph.D.
"The event was a great success. Psychology majors had the opportunity to display their hard work to their loved ones and to gain experience in presenting research at a professional conference. This is something that is often only done in graduate school," explained Ashley Bobak, a junior psychology major and chair of Confluence Psychology Alliance.
"Another major benefit of this annual conference is that psychology students at Point Park are able to show prospective graduate schools that they are seasoned researchers," added Bobak.

I suppose I should mention before I reply, although I am confident the minds of QCF already know this, my input is truly only input; raw materiel, black and white, a pure data resource. It is given with the full awareness that this is a game, the entire thing is imaginary. Anything can be done for any conceivable reason whatsoever. If one wanted to say that wizards have a 1% chance to catch their robes on fire every time they cast fireball, one could. I never mean to present my input from a position of superiority. For two immutable reasons.
1. Im not making the game.
2. Im not the only one playing the game.
I however am a "why" person. I ask why about any and everything. For me, personally, I like things that have reason or purpose. Why? Because things without reason or purpose can be anything at all. Since anything could be for any reason then ... its boring. Who cares? It could be anything.
Everyone has their own degrees of acceptance to things that have no reason. Most dont even notice their own boundaries. For example, for Desktop Dungeons, why have wizards and goblins, fighters and swords? Why not Soldiers, and snipers, tanks and guns? For that matter, the exact same numerology behind DD could be applied to totally abstract symbols such as squares and squiggles. So then we would all be saying "The circle does to much damage when its using the bent curve on the zigzags." However, as soon as we start calling things "wizard" and "fireball" people want it to fit their understanding of what a wizard and a fireball are. So when the fireball dosent do more damage to the scarecrow, and the fighter can cast the spell as good as a wizard, people start to, at that point, like me ... ask "why?"
So, I want to know why the god of battle, if he gives out a sword, picks "that" sword to give. When, seemingly, it has no reason. I dont necessarily want it to do more damage, the "why" can be answered 100 different ways. The most "obvious" thing to expect from a god of killing and battle is to give you the best weapon (physical) in the game. It could be damaging, or let you attack twice, or negate first strike, or count as both a physical and magical attack to negate resistances, or, or, or, or.... Or it could be left as it is, and the answer to the question "why" would be for the same reason checker pieces are black and red. "Because." or "It was the easier colors to get a hold of back then."
A few final things...
...I haven't known of a triswrod until the above post. So it was not a part of my opinion.
...I found some sword on some dungeon, and even at 15gold, saying you can buy a sword only 1point less powerful than a god sword still dosent satisfy my desire to know "why".
...As far as for
Yes, and I have even already expressed exactly that.Dunno wrote:Would you be satisfied if it wasn't a sword of +5 damage for 20 piety, but a spiked bracelet of +5 damage for 20 piety?
MeVII wrote:4-73-39. Yes, we all think its fun, but should we really be able to use two swords, and a shield? Recommend either setting physical slots to "R-Hand, L-Hand, Head etc…" or make all physical items anatomically irrelevant. Eg. Amulets, rings, brooches, pins, gems, crystals, auras, blessings, fetishes, trophies, tattoos etc…
Dunno wrote:Now kill a lvl 7 slime with the same character. Does balance mean all characters have to be equally effective under any conditions?MeVII wrote:6-108-6. I killed (quite easily) a lev 7 vampire with a lev 3 taurog worshiping dwarven priest.
By now anyone should be able to guess my answer is "no". However I did think that was an extreme enough incident regarding XP gained and other game mechanics, that QCF might appreciate being made aware of it, so they could decide if that is within the acceptable limits of their design intentions.
P.S. "Um", can imply a much more negative message than is actually said.
Especially when it is the first phrase used in a written response.
Dunno wrote:Um, trisword is +6 damage after two levels already. For your bottom line, would that mean Taurog has to give you a sword with more than +27 damage?
And the fine sword is not a random thing from dungeon floor, it costs 15 gold. That's 15(18-21 counting boon return gold) piety, if we look at TT. Taurog offers his variant for 20 piety.

- Sydney losses have golden lining
- by Mike Kitchen

After the big three U.S. stock indexes all ended with solid losses, Australian shares were doomed to move lower before the first trades took place. And although Sydney couldn't evit the inevitable, it did manage to limit the damage — at one point even pushing the S&P/ASX 200 back to the flatline.
The supportive factor was gold. Comex gold futures rallied almost 2% in New York to close out the day at their highest level since mid-November. Not only did this help the dedicated gold miners (Newcrest, Kingsgate, et al), but even lifted the big diversified names, such as BHP and Rio Tinto.

- Samsung shares find strength in weakness
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
Samsung Electronics rolled out its fourth-quarter results this morning, ahead of the open in Seoul.
Basically, the earnings were weak, the outlook was weak, and the stock was … up 1%. And those gains came even as the Kospi was pulling back by 0.4% amid a U.S.-inspired regional selloff.
It seems investors got their selling done after the No. 1 smartphone maker issued downbeat guidance earlier this month. In fact, today's results were just above that guidance, so maybe there was a reason to buy after all.

It's little surprise that Hong Kong shares are lower, what with the U.S. losses and simmering concerns about ICBC letting a trust it sold default. (See the "China's ICBC: Let 'em fail!" post in this previous Asia Markets blog for more details)
But what might be a little unexpected is the truly breathtaking gains being made by mild-mannered info-provider Citic 21CN. The shares are up about 340% … so about quadruple its price yesterday. And this because Alibaba Group and Yunfeng Capital are buying a majority stake in the company.
Pretty impressive for a firm that doesn't even have a website! (At least as of the time I write this — check out its placeholder site here)
And the Shanghai market? Up, of course. Always the contrarians, those Shanghai investors.

A bruising session for Japanese stocks, with the Nikkei Stock Average closing down by 304 points, or 1.9%, at 15,391.56. But the benchmark escaped deeper losses, as at one point near the close it tumbled by as much as 408 points, or 2.6%. For the week, the Nikkei lost 2.2%.

Prepare yourself for a wild devilish ride, my friends. The Black Dahlia Murder has laid out an offering to the metal gods that they will surely smile upon -- a raucous 12-track bloodbath that features classical instrumentation on top of the typical BDM blindingly fast deathcore style. Ritual will make your head hurt in the best way possible. This is thinking man's metal.
There's no better way to describe this album beyond "unpredictable." The band seemed to have found a formula in their last couple of albums that worked well, but as the incredible musicians they are, they also recognized the formula would only take them so far. Elements that stayed the same: dual growl-scream vocals, shredding guitars, blast-beat drums and lyrical themes.
And now, the new elements: darker song structures, smarter guitar solos, more poetic lyrics, (the aforementioned) classical elements, more thought-out and complex hooks, more variety and, as a result of the latter, more unpredictability. Overall, this is an album that speaks volumes about the direction of the band and the direction of metal music as we currently know it. It's a dark, heavy and fast masterpiece chugging along like a bullet train out of hell. Faithful to its title, Ritual sounds like a beastly, devilish ceremony wrapped in a satanic pentagram eating itself while it burns alive. BUY THIS ALBUM.

Relay Team Sets Record; 5th at Nationalsby Brent Harris • May 26, 2013 Share:
A record-setting performance by the members of the Wabash 4x400-meter relay team gave the Little Giants a fifth-place finish and All-America honors on the final day of the 2013 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
John Haley, Chet Riddle, Joey Conti, and Joel Whittington toured the oval in 3:10.58 to earn All-America awards for the first time for all four student-athletes. The foursome broke their own school record of 3:12.08 set two days earlier in the championship meet prelims.
View photos from the race and the awards celebration here. Watch a video replay of the race here.
The Little Giants earned a berth in the national field after cranking out two quick times at last-chance meets at North Central College. Sean Hildebrand joined Whittington, Conti, and Riddle to post a time of 3:14.36 a week after Haley, Riddle, Conti, and Whittington set the Little Giants up to make nationals with a time of 3:14.43.
"Thursday night I said I thought this group could run a 3:13 in the finals. To go from 3:14 to 3:12 then to 3:10 is something you can't script as a coach. I think about these four young men and their stories and what they've gone through. This is a perfect example of NBU (Nothing Breaks Us) and 'Wabash Always Fights.'
"All of these guys have been through a lot trying to make this relay work. Joey was sick to his stomach last year when I sent him home at the end of his freshman season because he was just tired. It broke his heart when we finished 11th in the final rankings and only 10 went to the indoor meet. It really hurt. Joel kept a picture on the screensaver of his phone of the scoreboard from last year's ninth-place finish at outdoor nationals when the group fell one place short of being All-Americans. John Haley's ankle and hamstrings have kept him from being at his best the past two seasons, but he has battled through those injuries to get to this point. Chet had an injury that kept him from competing last year, as well. So for all of these guys to find a way to come together and build off that adversity is something special."
Morgan praised Hildebrand's leadership and impact on the team as an alternate.
"People may wonder why Sean is in the picture of our All-Americans. We would not be competing this weekend in the relay without Sean. He helped get us here. John Haley has to go to his brother's wedding, and even tried to tell me it would be fine if he missed the ceremony. If John had not gone to the wedding, I would have thrown him in my truck and taken him there myself. Sean stepped in that weekend and ran the anchor leg of the relay. He had guys from other teams coming after him. If we didn't win that race at North Central other teams would have jumped over us in the final rankings and we don't race at nationals.
"Sean was a coach this weekend. The guys were kind of tense in the warmup area. Sean went back and kept the guys loose. He was bouncing around and high-fiving the guys. What gave me chills was this: I didn't know who would run today. I got a knock on my door at 10 p.m. last night. Sean told me John Haley was ready to run even though he had competed in the open 400 earlier that day. Sean also said 'I've talked to team and they're ready.' That young man looked me in the eyes and I was convinced. I knew something special was about to happen, and Sean's a big part of our success today."
Seniors Haley and Riddle picked up All-America trophies for the first time as their Wabash careers came to an end.
"I don't think the idea that I'm an All-American has set in yet," Riddle said. "It is the first thing I thought of when I crossed the line and handed the baton to Joey. I went up to John Haley after we saw Joey hand off to Joel and knew we would finish no worse than sixth. I just kept yelling 'We did it! We did it!' To me this is the summation of my entire Wabash career. I've been working toward this since the end of last year when I missed the national team because of my hamstring. To come back after a year of training and see it all pay off has just been a wonderful experience for me.
"This has also been a tremendous opportunity to spend one last weekend with my teammates, and especially John Haley. We've been here for four years. We were part of Coach Morgan's first recruiting class. It's a great feeling to know that we've been able to start a legacy that's not going to go away anytime soon."
Haley competed 24 hours after running in the 400-meter dash. The effort had little effect as he led off the relay for the Little Giants Saturday.
"This whole experience has been four years in the making," Haley said. "We finally got it. This is probably the biggest accomplishment I've achieved in my Wabash career. Knowing that we also set the school record makes it even better. This is really a testament to Coach Morgan's training. He's been telling us all year preparing for nationals is all about peaking at the right time. He rested us when he needed to. He trained us hard when he needed to. All of that allowed us to turn these top times the past few weeks."
Conti and Whittington are in their second season as members of the Wabash track and field team. The duo joined Ronnie Posthauer as sophomore All-America award recipients. Posthauer finished fifth at the Indoor Track and Field Championships in March.
"It's exciting because we have a lot of young talent returning. We have Ronnie, Joey, and Joel coming back as All-Americans. We also have a couple of guys — Cole Hruskovich and Chris Stazinski — who have been a part of our relay teams. I know they're hungry. We also have some young men coming in to join our program. All of that can allow us to reload and come after this again."

PlayStation Portable
The PlayStation Portable, or PSP, is a handheld games console made by Sony under the PlayStation brand. It was launched in Japan on December 12, 2004, and debuted in North America on March 24, 2005. The computing power of the PSP is comparable to that between the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2, being capable of rendering significantly complex 3D graphics to a less detailed extent than the PS2. The console is also capable of supporting network play.
The PSP is the native platform for two Grand Theft Auto games, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which both recycled settings in two PS2-native games but are able to retain many features of its more higher-spec counterparts at the expense of lower texture quality and resolution. In addition, the PSP version of GTA Liberty City Stories manages to take advantage of the PSP's network support to include multiplayer modes, a feature which is absent in the PS2 port. Both GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories have been huge successes in terms of the number of sales in comparison to other PSP games.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has also been ported to the system in late-2009. There are rumours that between 2011-2013 that a Grand Theft Auto taking place in London is in works for the new PlayStation Veita.

Bulletin Board: Retirement delay becomes more common among older employees
by Amy Winter
The economic downturn has affected the average retirement age. Workers over the age of 60 are choosing to stay in the workplace longer in order to retire with some money in the bank.
Sixty percent of workers over the age of 60 say, according to a CareerBuilder.com survey that questioned 8,000 employees, retirement isn't in the immediate future. These workers intend to remain in the office due to the impact of the recession on their long-term savings.
A decrease in savings may cause 11 percent of older employees to never retire. Seventy-three percent of workers feel it will take up to six years of additional wages to recover lost money.
"Mature workers may be feeling the pinch of this difficult economy more than others because of their impending plans for retirement," says Jason Ferrara, senior career adviser. "Mature workers who are returning to the workplace to offset their retirement losses will likely encounter many of the same challenges that workers of any age are facing today.
"However, their level of knowledge and experience and network of professional contacts will work to their advantage in a competitive job market."
CareerBuilder's job site for older workers, PrimeCB.com, provides suggestions for steering through the current economic downturn:
— Speak with your manager. Tell your supervisor that you want to delay your retirement. Try to concentrate on how your strengths and skills can help the company. Bring plans for revenue ideas and suggest helping with new assignments.
— Pay attention to market trends. Follow the changes in your job market if you think layoffs are in the near future. Look at the industries that are still thriving in the recession; see if your skills can be used in those other markets.
— Build networks. Continue to add to your group of professional and personal contacts. Sign up for a social networking website like Facebook or LinkedIn.
— Stand strong and be flexible. Try to use past experiences with recessions to aid your company. And be a place of support and comfort for other co-workers.
For more information, visit www.careerbuilder.com.
Job-seekers should be on their best behavior for not only the hiring manager, but also for the manager's assistant. Sixty-one percent of executives say — according to a survey by OfficeTeam, a staffing service that questioned 150 managers — they consider their assistant's opinion significant when it comes to hiring new employees.
Eighteen percent of executives view their associate's opinion as somewhat unimportant, 16 percent say their assistant's views are very insignificant and 1 percent wasn't sure. Four percent of respondents currently don't have an assistant.
"Everyone they encounter, from the person in the elevator to the receptionist, is someone who could potentially weigh in on the hiring decision," says Robert Hosking, executive director.
"Just as treating the waiter rudely at a restaurant creates a bad impression, being discourteous or abrupt with a company's receptionist or office staff can reveal character — or lack of it — in job applicants."
OfficeTeam provides suggestions to help create an optimistic impression before and after the interview:
— Remember phone manners. When calling the hiring manager, be polite and professional to the assistant. Call the "gatekeeper" by name when on the phone or in person at the interview.
— Remain focused. Avoid chewing gum or listening to headphones when waiting for the manager. Be polite.
— Leave on a friendly note. Say goodbye to the employees you met and thank those that helped you.

University of Delaware student Shaw Civitarese had wanted to find an internship in New Zealand for the summer but, unfortunately for him, his summer was their winter.
So instead of heading to New Zealand, Communicating for Agriculture Education Programs (CAEP), the organization through which Civitarese found his internship, suggested that he go to Germany for the summer to work on a swine and produce farm.
Civitarese agreed and was assigned to work on the Bauernhof Keller farm in Rodgau, Germany, which is a suburb of Frankfurt.
It turned out to be a great situation for the junior, who is majoring in agricultural and natural resources with a minor in food and resource economics.
Civitarese described the farm as "the story-book farm that you would imagine it would be. Everybody in the family worked on the farm. The mom did all the finances and the father and the kids did all the farming work. They mainly grew small grains but potatoes were also a big crop that they sold. And we would deliver the potatoes to lots of different restaurants and markets."
Of his duties on the farm, Civitarese explained that his daily routine, if it wasn't harvest time, usually involved being out in the fields at 7 a.m. followed by a long lunch around 11. He said that the German farmer's lunch is comparable to an American dinner, and after eating and resting for about two or three hours, he would head back out in the fields from 3 p.m. to 9 or 10 p.m.
The time in the field was usually spent gathering small grains, like wheat, barley and straw, the latter of which ended up as bedding for the pigs.
Civitarese noted that this was a little unusual. "Their pig farm was actually unique — they bedded down their pigs in straw, which is kind of unheard of but I guess it's good for the pigs' morale."
He said the straw is much softer than the usual bedding of concrete slabs.
If it was a harvest day, however, the schedule became more intense. "The harvesting was so tough because we would get up at daybreak, and it would be light out at 6 o'clock in the morning because you're so far north. And we wouldn't stop," said Civitarese. "At one point, we were definitely in the combines harvesting for over 24 hours straight. So, it was rough but it was a great learning experience."
After growing up on a farm in Baltimore County, Maryland, Civitarese was able to ease into the farming aspect of his internship. It was the cultural aspects of the internship that took a little while for him to grasp.
Civitarese had one big obstacle in his path right away as he made his way to Europe: he didn't speak a word of German.
Luckily for him, Tobi Keller, the son of the farm's owner, Robert Keller, was fluent in English and took him under his wing, helping him out whenever a language barrier stood in his way. Though he got help from Keller, who is 21 and learned English as part of his schooling, Civitarese did have trouble communicating with some of the older members of the community, specifically, his roommate.
"I lived with the grandfather because they didn't have any extra room in the house, and the grandfather is very old school German, so he didn't care to learn any English," Civtarese said, joking, "He just yelled at me in German the whole time."
Civitarese formed such a close bond with the younger Keller that he and his girlfriend flew over to America from Germany to visit Civitarese and experience their first Thanksgiving.
Civitarese also plans on heading back to Germany this summer to attend a rock festival.
Perhaps the greatest thing the internship accomplished is that it opened Civitarese up to a world of possibilities once he graduates. "I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, but now I want to do something with a more global impact with agriculture," he said. "I was thinking either an international job in agriculture with a marketing firm or something not specific to the U.S. I want to do something with a more global reach. The trip opened my eyes to other ways of thinking in agriculture."
He also offered up some words of wisdom for any student planning to spend time abroad. "If you're going by yourself, make sure you learn the local language before you go and do some background information on the place."
He did say, however, that anybody who has a chance to study in a foreign country should jump at the opportunity. "I would definitely encourage anybody to get out there and do it because it changed the whole direction that I want to go with my degree."
Civitarese added, "It gives you a more global perspective of what agriculture is outside of the United States, and how other countries view U.S. agriculture."
After hours spent searching on Google trying to find an international internship that was right for him, Civitarese is forever grateful that winter in New Zealand led to an unforgettable summer in Germany.

Joplin Church Re-Opens
JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — A church that was destroyed by last year's tornado in Joplin, Mo., is celebrating its new worship center.
Members of St. Paul's United Methodist Church held their first service at the church Sunday since it was destroyed on May 22, 2011.
Pastor Aaron Brown says returning to the church was a rebirth for the congregation, which averages between 800 and 1,000 people.
The Joplin Globe reports that the only person who was in the church when the tornado hit was not hurt. But the storm ripped apart the worship center and heavily damaged most of the rest of the building. Six members of the congregation died elsewhere in the tornado.
The congregation moved around before October, when it started holding services in the church's repaired gymnasium.

Baruch 81
Farmingdale 73
Story written by Baruch SID - Senior guard Jessenia Marrero (Flushing, NY/Francis Lewis) scored 22 points (9-18 FG) to lead Baruch (2-1) to an 81-73 non-conference win over SUNY-Farmingdale on Monday night in the ARC Arena.
Farmingdale (1-2) opened the scoring with the first four points of the game, but the Bearcats responded with a 20-8 run to take control for an eventual 39-31 halftime lead.
Marrero led the charge with 15 first-half points and senior point guard Diane Ramirez (Sunnyside, NY/Francis Lewis) added 11 points.
Baruch continued the push to start the second half with a 13-2 run for a 52-33 advantage on a Chiresse Paradise (Chicago, IL/Rich Central) layup at the 16:02 mark.
That lead remained steady throughout most of the second half, but Farmingdale created a late 16-5 run to cut the deficit to 77-69 on a three-pointer by Rochelle Clark (Bellport, NY/Bellport) with 1:30 left.
The Bearcats fended off the remaining rally with a pair of free throws by Ramirez & Ally Stamatiades (Astoria, NY/W.C. Bryant) to seal the 81-73 home win.
Mercedes Miller was dominant for Farmingdale with 25 points, 16 rebounds, and four blocks. Kristen Tong (Swanzey, NH/Monadnock Regional) scored 15 points (3-5 via 3PT) and grabbed five rebounds before fouling out late in the game.
Ramirez (18 points, seven rebounds, seven assists), Paradise (16 points, nine rebounds), and Stamatiades (14 points, nine rebounds, six assists) all had a solid evening.

In the hebrew bible Micha'el was not the conqueror of Satan and patron saint of soldiers, and there was no St. Michael.
If you give hebrew origin, don't mix with christian mythology.
Micha'el is symply an angel-a messenger of god.
Meaning of the name: Who (MI) is like (KA) God (EL).
The name is a praise for god: Who is like god?
There is no mention of GIFT in the name.

Kershaw cementing place in Dodgers history
LOS ANGELES -- In 1988, Orel surgery was all the rage in Southern California. An unimposing, slender 6-foot-3 pitcher with a scholarly appearance, Orel Hershiser used all of his tools to drill his way into baseball history with arguably the greatest season on the mound by a Dodger not named Sandy Koufax.
Clayton Kershaw -- a lefty most often associated with Koufax for alliterative and aesthetic reasons -- is positioned to do for Dodgers Nation what Hershiser achieved a quarter-century ago: create a magical ending to a storybook season.View Full Game Coverage
LOS ANGELES -- In 1988, Orel surgery was all the rage in Southern California. An unimposing, slender 6-foot-3 pitcher with a scholarly appearance, Orel Hershiser used all of his tools to drill his way into baseball history with arguably the greatest season on the mound by a Dodger not named Sandy Koufax.
Clayton Kershaw -- a lefty most often associated with Koufax for alliterative and aesthetic reasons -- is positioned to do for Dodgers Nation what Hershiser achieved a quarter-century ago: create a magical ending to a storybook season.View Full Game Coverage
So far, so great.
By virtually any measure excluding wins and losses, which swing with forces beyond control of the artist, Kershaw, at 25 in his sixth season, is the best pitcher in the Major Leagues -- just as Hershiser was 25 years ago.
The Dodgers haven't been in a World Series since Hershiser drove them to their destination with his 23-8 record, 2.26 ERA and 1.052 WHIP (walks and hits per inning) in 267 innings in 1988. Eclipsing the longstanding record of the great Don Drysdale, Hershiser finished on his record 59-inning scoreless run with a perfect September (six starts, 55 innings) after four scoreless innings in Montreal in his final August start.
Carrying all that momentum into October, Hershiser had a postseason for the ages. In six appearances, he was 3-0 with a save and a 1.05 ERA in 42 2/3 innings, winning the MVP Award for the National League Championship Series and the World Series.
It ended in Oakland with Hershiser striking out A's infielder Tony Phillips to wrap up a 5-2 victory in Game 5. Bash Brothers Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire appeared as stunned as the rest of the baseball world.
"As long as we live," Game 1 World Series savior Kirk Gibson said in the afterglow of the title, "none of us will ever see any pitcher accomplish what Orel has done."
Kershaw, with his MLB-best 1.72 ERA, can become the first pitcher since Greg Maddux to win ERA titles in three consecutive seasons. If he keeps his ERA at 1.87 or lower, it will be the best among NL starters since Maddux's 1.63 in 1995. Kershaw also is the leader in WHIP at 0.882.
Kershaw's secondary numbers are better than Hershiser's were in 1988, almost across the board per nine innings: 5.9 hits, 0.4 homers, 2.0 walks, 8.7 strikeouts and a 4.28 K/BB ratio. Hershiser: 7.0 hits, 0.6 homers, 2.5 walks, 6.0 Ks and a 2.44 K/BB ratio.
What Kershaw has not been getting is consistent offensive support: 3.57 runs per start, tied for 10th lowest in the Majors. Hershiser had 4.03 per start in 1988.
While Kershaw has not delivered 59 consecutive scoreless innings and is not going to win 23 games, as Hershiser did, Clayton has the right stuff, tenacity and poise to take the Dodgers where Orel did: all the way home to a civic celebration.
"I tell everybody that as good as you think he is," teammate Josh Beckett said, "he is better than that. And that's hard to do, because everybody thinks he's really good."
Beckett has focused intently on Kershaw as a television viewer since having a procedure on July 10 to remove a rib that was pressing a nerve and causing numbness in his pitching hand. A force behind World Series champions with the 2003 Marlins and '07 Red Sox, Beckett has seen Kershaw emerge as the favorite for his second NL Cy Young Award and a prominent NL Most Valuable Player Award candidate.
"I know he hasn't been doing it that long, but he could possibly be the best pitcher ever -- he's that good," Beckett said. "Coming over here last year [from Boston], I knew he was good. But he exceeded my expectations."
A trait shared by Hershiser and Kershaw is a flaming competitive nature concealed beneath a normally cool and often playful exterior. Manager Don Mattingly has felt the heat from Kershaw on several occasions when he has brought the hook sooner than Clayton wanted.
"Oh, yeah," Mattingly said, "I've seen that look in Kersh's eyes."
Keeping his pitch counts under reasonable control is important in the long haul. Kershaw is averaging 105.6 pitches per start, eighth highest in the Majors. Hershiser, mastering the art of early-count outs, averaged 103.3 pitches per start in 1988.
That served the Dodgers well in October, under extreme duress. When Hershiser emerged from the bullpen to retire Kevin McReynolds for the final out in Game 4 of the NLCS -- having gone seven innings (one unearned run) the previous day -- it was one of the most compelling moments in postseason play.
Kershaw hasn't pitched in the postseason since 2009, when he was 21 and putting the elements of his game together. His postseason numbers from '08 and '09 -- five games, two starts, 0-1, 5.87 ERA -- figure to improve dramatically when he returns to the big stage.
The 2013 Dodgers are considerably more formidable than the 1988 outfit that had three players with double figures in home runs (Gibson, Mike Marshall, John Shelby ) but managed to defy all odds.
That was a classic Tommy Lasorda team, stoking its fires with the volatile manager's motivational speeches. The most underrated aspect of that championship club was its collective baseball IQ.
"We had guys who knew how to play the game," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, their catcher. "I think that team was a lot more talented than it got credit for; all the pieces fit together just right."
The 1988 Dodgers thrived in pressure situations with timely hitting and quality defense. But the foundation was a wonderful pitching staff, with Tim Belcher and Tim Leary behind Hershiser in the rotation and closer Jay Howell leading a deep bullpen.
Fernando Valenzuela and Don Sutton were part of the rotation until injury and age caught up with two of the franchise's greatest pitchers. Valenzuela made his last start of the season on July 14; Sutton, the future Hall of Famer, bowed out on Aug. 9. John Tudor, acquired from the Cards for Pedro Guerrero, provided quality work down the stretch.
Mattingly's pitching staff has the tools to be even better than Lasorda's.
Zack Greinke is the game's best No. 2 starter. Ricky Nolasco has been brilliant since arriving in an inspired deal with the Marlins by general manager Ned Colletti. Hyun-Jin Ryu shows the poise that bodes well for the postseason.
The emergence of Kenley Jansen as a confident, dominant closer is a pivotal development. The intriguing arrival of Brian Wilson adds another possible lockdown setup man to go with rookie find Paco Rodriguez, J.P. Howell and Ronald Belisario -- a fine lefty-righty mix with contrasting styles.
After a 46-10 run that was simply impossible to sustain, the Dodgers have experienced a lull, along with Wednesday's highly publicized benching of Yasiel Puig. But this is a veteran team with an ideal blend of personalities, hot and cool, and a collection of talent that is the envy of fans everywhere.
It also is a team blessed with the kind of dominant pitcher, in Clayton Kershaw, who has been known to perform impressive surgery in October.

Sweet success: Student completes program, first to attain full-time employment
A local partnership between an educational center and a Wapakoneta business has lead to the ultimate accomplishment for a program designed for children with autism.
The Auglaize County Educational Service Center (ESC) provides a program, Project Independence, which is a transitional program designed for children with autism to give them the skills they need to live on their own after high school.
Project Independence student Clay Nelson, 18, of St. Marys, attended this program, which was held in Wapakoneta, and he recently graduated and was hired to work full-time at Wapakoneta business JMC Mechanical, a partner of Project Independence.
"This is a big success for us," ESC Autism Coordinator Kelly Schattschneider said. "We feel good for putting together a program that really works."
The goal of Project Independence is to teach students with autism, who are at a high school-age level, the knowledge and vocational skills they need to live on their own and to learn the skills necessary to help them attain a job and work on their own after the com-
pletion of the program.
Nelson has Asperger's syndrome, which is a high functioning form of autism. It is a developmental disorder that affects a person's ability to socialize and communicate effectively with others.
Schattschneider said the program that she helped develop for children with autism in the county is going in it's fifth year, and Nelson is the first student who has graduated from the program and found full-time employment.
"There is an 80 percent unemployment rate for kids with autism," Schattschneider said. "Clay is the first person to leave the program and go into full time employment."
Project Independence finds local companies that are willing to work with the students in the program, beginning with letting the student work for them for a few hours a week with a job coach. In Nelson's case, he completed the program and is now working full-time at JMC Mechanical, a business who opened their doors to the program and students.
While Nelson attended his daily classes, he also started working at the company a couple hours a week with a job coach, who served as a liaison between the program and JMC. At the end of February, Nelson became a part-time employee and as of June 7 became a full-time employee. His promotion came one day after he received his diploma.
Nelson's teachers and family say they are proud of him for completing Project Independence and getting hired after graduation.
"We're really grateful to JMC because they said 'sure, bring him over,'" Schattschneider said. "It's hard to find a business that will accept this population."
Schattschneider said that Nelson is a real hands-on, mechanically minded person, and working for JMC Mechanical is a good fit for him.
Nelson achieved the ultimate goal for the Project Independence program, which was to leave the program with employment after graduation.
"JMC has accepted him and other students there," Schattschneider said. "They embraced the kids. It's hard to find employers that do that."
Project Independence also is partnered with the Wapakoneta Middle School and local churches, where Nelson's peers had an opportunity to work at through the program.
Project Independence is looking for more businesses to partner with who are willing to work with the students.
Students with autism do not necessary lack the skills, but they may lack the social skills and may not relate to people, especially in a workplace setting.
"To have someone committed," Schattschneider said, "is an example of what we can do as a community."
Nelson said that things at JMC Mechanical are going well and that it feels good to be graduated from school.
"It (Project Independence) was better than going to regular school," Nelson said. "It was laid-back, and we weren't set to a time limit."
Nelson's job duties include welding and sheet metal assembly at JMC Mechanical, and he said it is "kind of cool" to be working in the real world atmosphere.
Nelson's mother, Diana Nelson, said that this job is ideal for her son because he is very mechanical.
She said that Project Independence has been a lifesaver for the family, because he attempted junior high and high school, but ended up being home-schooled during his seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade years. He would practice math, reading and language in the morning with his mother, and then in the afternoon, he would help his father, who owns Tom's Towing and Repair, where he learned vocational skills.
"His whole education has been a struggle," Diana Nelson said.
It had been a struggle up until he joined the Project Independence program to finish out his high school education. St. Marys City Schools Special Education Director Doretta Nale suggested this program for Clay.
"Doretta did everything she could come up with," Diana Nelson said. "This program was a perfect fit for him and his his education."
Diana Nelson said that her son's academics were never a question, because he is very smart, but the school setting was a struggle. He had passed his Ohio Graduation Tests on his first attempt, and he was advanced proficient in math and science.
This program helped him get into a regular school setting, and complete his high school, while learning vocational skills he is taking with him into the workforce.
Nelson is a 2011 graduate of Memorial High School, and he chose not to walk, but he had a special ceremony with his teacher, intervention specialist of Project independence Cari Fisher, faculty members from St. Marys City Schools and Project Independence coordinators and family on June 6, where he was presented his diploma.
JMC Mechanical Shop Supervisor Kevin Ott said Nelson is doing well and it has been a positive experience for the company.
"He likes the work, and I'm glad we are able to do this," Ott said. "Clay is an asset to the company."
JMC Mechanical President John McCormick said he recently became aware of Project Independence and was eager to help.
"Jim Walls spoke with Kelly (Schattschneider) and it just seemed like a neat thing," McCormick said.
As soon as McCormick heard the idea from Walls, who is a project supervisor at JMC Mechanical, he knew he would be interested in it.
"It's a great program," McCormick said. "It's a win-win all the way around. Kids benefit from it and so does the company."
McCormick said this has been an eye opening experience, and the partnership with the county ESC is working out great.
"Clay is doing great, he's really taken to it," McCormick said. "There's a lot of things kids can do, they just need a chance."
When JMC Mechanical partnered with Project Independence, it gave the students with autism who were interested in this type of field a chance to work in this career.
"He's an example of what the program can do," McCormick said.
McCormick noted that this program helps build a bridge through educational and life-skill training, and he applauds the ESC for that.
"I'm proud to be apart of it," McCormick said, "and we will continue to work with the program."
Nelson's mother said his father and she are relieved and happy.
"We are so glad that JMC offered this opportunity to him, and it's working out well," Diana Nelson said. "We're just really thrilled for Clay. It's exciting. His whole family is proud.
"John (McCormick) cared enough to make it work, and it's wonderful," she said, "and he (Clay) likes getting a pay check."

May 26, 2011 – The 16-team field for the 2011 Preseason Women's National Invitation Tournament was announced today.
Top 10 teams Baylor, Notre Dame, and UCLA headline the field that also includes Akron, Chattanooga, Detroit, Drexel, ETSU, Hartford, Howard, Indiana State, Long Island, Manhattan, McNeese State, Tennessee Tech, and UAB.
The Preseason WNIT bracket will be announced in June. Here's a quick snapshot of the field:
- Akron loses just one senior from its 14-16 team, and with the return of four starters, the Zips expect to get back to their form of 09-10 when they posted their best season in school history at 18-14.
- Baylor is a favorite to win next season's national title after advancing to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Bears have U.S. Basketball Writers Association coach of the year Kim Mulkey to lead freshman of the year Odyssey Sims, All-American Brittney Griner, and the vast majority of the Bears that went 34-3 last season and captured the Big 12 Conference regular-season and tournament titles.
- Chattanooga won 11 straight Southern Conference titles until last season's youth-laden team lost in overtime in the semifinals of the tournament. This year's team is a year older and will build on a 17-14 mark with everyone on the roster back for another season under coach Wes Moore.
- Detroit is a program on the rise, as the Titans return all five starters from their 13-18 team that defeated Michigan on the road for the first time since 1983.
- Drexel earned its third straight trip to the postseason and finished 19-12 despite suffering some key injuries. The Dragons welcome all but one player back for next fall.
- ETSU has won three of the past four Atlantic Sun Tournament titles. The Lady Buccaneers return three starters from their 19-12 team, including Destiny Mitchell, who earned all-conference freshman team honors after suffering a season-ending knee injury in February.
- Hartford finished last season on a high note by winning the America East tournament and earning its sixth trip to the NCAAs despite a slow start with an inexperienced team. The Hawks, who were 27-5 a year ago, will again be a favorite this fall in the America East.
- Howard finished runner-up at the MEAC championships and returns conference Player of the Year Saadia Doyle for her junior season. The 16-18 Bison return all five of their starters for their first appearance in the Preseason WNIT.
- Indiana State head coach Teri Moren set a school record for most wins in a rookie season as the Sycamores were 16-16. They get all but one player back from a team that advanced to the Missouri Valley tournament's semifinal round.
- Long Island returns its top players from a 19-11 team in the Northeast Conference, including senior Ashley Palmer, a two-time NEC first-team all-conference honoree.
- Manhattan is coming off its winningest season in school history, as it finished 24-10 and played in the postseason. The Jaspers welcome back four starters.
- McNeese State posted a record-setting season and tied the best turnaround in NCAA history with a 26-7 record after winning seven games the year before. The Cowgirls captured both the Southland Conference regular-season and tournament titles, and played in their first NCAA Tournament in school history. Their top players return to the team this fall.
- Notre Dame made it all the way to the NCAA championship game before falling to Texas A&M, and the Fighting Irish (31-8) will be back in force this fall for another strong run. They are led by point guard Skylar Diggins, who is among a record three Irish players who recently made the 14-player cut for the U.S. World University Games.
- Tennessee Tech won the Ohio Valley Conference regular-season title and played in the Postseason WNIT. The Golden Eagles posted a nine-game turnaround from the season before, finishing with a 23-8 overall record. They get all five starters back this fall.
- UAB rolled to its first 20-win season in a decade, going 20-15 and winning the WBI postseason event. The Blazers return four of their five starters and all but one player on their roster.
- UCLA earned more regular-season wins (26) than ever before, and matched its highest seed in history in the NCAA Tournament at No. 3. The Bruins (28-5) will have a new coaching staff led by Cori Close after Nikki Caldwell took the LSU job, but should again be picked to finish around the No. 2 spot in the Pac-12 Conference this fall.
The Preseason WNIT features a three-game guarantee format. The event opens Nov. 11 with first-round games. Second-round games will be played Nov. 13-14; semifinals will be Nov. 16-17; and the championship is set for Sunday, Nov. 20. Teams that lose in the first two rounds will play consolation games on the second weekend, Nov. 18-19. All games are hosted by participating schools.
In last year's Preseason WNIT, Purdue defeated DePaul 67-58.

Random Gratuitous Images Are Awesome
Jeff's a smart guy, but he also uses Windows. You can respect his intelligence and still disagree with his conclusions from time to time.
First of all, what random images do in a blog is the same thing "random" facial expressions and gestures do in a conversation - they contextualize what the person is saying.
Context matters. Context matters immensely.
The idea that technical materials should be dry and devoid of personality is old-school bullshit.
Read up on Kathy Sierra's Head First series and you'll discover that actively engaging the part of the brain which recognizes facial expressions is the easiest and most powerful way to accelerate learning.
Do you want to learn fast? I do.
6 comments:
I thought of you when I read Jeff's post. And I couldn't have imagined a better reply to it!ReplyDelete
I think the number of blogs that use too few images is much greater than the number that use too many.
I agree with you that images can help, however I think you're totally overdoing it. One or two to accompany your main points would be nice, but after every sentence is way too much.ReplyDelete
The thing with Kathy Sierra is that the images she used, you could actually understand the link with the text. I'm still not sure if there are any with most of the images you used in this post.
You might also want to change the layout a bit to make it clearer if the images go with the text above or under it.
Have you seen a picture of Jeff Atwood? He *looks* uber-serious. I think that explains a *TON*!ReplyDelete
Small relevant images along with the text might help set some context. But I agree with jean-francois that you are overdoing it. And as ben mentioned above, when I first read Atwood's post I instantly thought about you :-)
You often post largish images which are not embedded in the text, but stand in their own horizontal line. By the time the reader scrolls past the image, the context set by the text before the image might be lost. I say "might" because I can't put a finger on what is it that irritates me about these images; I just know that they are irritating. :-)
Taking Sierra's books as an example is not appropriate - the images there are small and do not interfere with the "flow" of the text.
Nonetheless, I really think you will likely have something important to say. Hence I am still subscribed to this blog. :-)
Needs. More. Random. Images!ReplyDelete
Joel of Joel on Software has a tendency to do this as well in some of his posts, although he does it much less in the last year or two. There will be a random image in there, some random picture of NYC, with no relationship to the text.
While we're criticizing the head first books, I think the use of many, many stock images in Head First Design Patterns (the only book in the series I own) quickly becomes tedious and cliche. It's fun for the first few chapters, then you tune it out as noise.
I'm all for images in posts, but images that contextualize and enhance the text, not images that distract and annoy. For an example of how to pack a book with tons of relevant images, take a look at any of Edward Tufte's books.
Well, it's true I'm not Edward Tufte, but I'm probably going to keep the images.ReplyDelete
I admit the content is not always pedagogically valuable, but you pays your money and you takes your chances.

So I am married with little money is there a way to make an Awesome looking Fett costume without spending alot to do so?
Trashcan armor.
Go to walmart and buy a butt-load of cheap plastic trashcans/storage bins and cut out your plates. If you need them you can download and print schematics from the Mercs site.
Back On Topic
Tactical pockets and ammo pouches - EVERYWHERE! They always add the proper commando feel, almost as much as the weapons themselves. Sniper-sleeve type attachment on the left wrist gauntlet, pockets on your sleeves above the elbows/below shoulder bells, attached to your vest where possible, maybe a low-slung ammo rig on your left leg rather then twin blasters, the more the better.
And speaking of tactical gear, when are you going to make an Army of Two costume? Love where mine is going; probably the next closest awesomeness to a Mando rig

Treasury 10-year note yields rose to 2.5% for the first time in almost two years as investors fled U.S. debt with the Federal Reserve forecasting growth strong enough to allow policy makers to stop buying bonds.
Yields on the benchmark security for everything from mortgages to corporate loans have surged this week by the most in almost four years after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said June 19 the central bank may begin dialing down quantitative easing this year and end it in mid-2014. Yields on German bunds touched a 14-month high, while U.S. stocks fluctuated after a two-day plunge and the dollar rallied.
"Bernanke has moved the range higher, and we still have liquidation going on," said Sean Murphy, a trader at Societe Generale SA in New York, one of the 21 primary dealers that trade with the Fed. "But the market is still in price-discovery mode. The range is undefined. There is value around these levels, but with an unwind like this there is still a lot of confusion on where we should be."
Ten-year yields climbed 10 basis points, or 0.10 percentage point, to 2.51% at 2:55 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. It was the highest since Aug. 8, 2011. The yields have increased 38 basis points this week, the most since March 2003.
The price of the 1.75% note due in May 2023 slid 26/32, or $8.13 per $1,000 face amount, to 93 3/8.
Thirty-year bond yields advanced five basis points to 3.56% and touched 3.57%, the highest since September 2011. They have added 25 basis points this week, the most since September 2012.
'New Reality'
"The market is adjusting to the new reality," said Thomas Roth, senior Treasury trader in New York at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities USA Inc. "People have been hiding in bond funds. Bond funds have been piggy-backing off the Fed. The adjustment process may take us a little further than you would think."
The 10-year note yield may extend its increase to 2.75% if it closes above a technical level at 2.52%, according to Ian Lyngen, a government-bond strategist at CRT Capital Group LLC in Stamford, Connecticut. That's the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from a July 1, 2011, high, he said. Fibonacci analysis is founded on the theory that prices tend to rise or fall by specific percentages after reaching a new highs or lows.
