Detroit To Default Today, "Shared-Sacrifice" To Follow
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 11:58And so the next casualty of the inevitable municipal collapse appears, which is, as expected, that one-time symbol of all that was right with a (once upon a time) manufacturing America, having since been replaced with the anti-symbol of all that is broken: Detroit. DETROIT BEGINS MORATORIUM ON ALL DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS FOR UNSECURED FUNDED DEBT; DETROIT TO DEFAULT ON CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION DUE TODAY. And, true to from in the New Normal America, where the "fairness doctrine" rules supreme under Big Brother's watchful eye, the premise of the upcoming glorious recovery is a well-known one: "the shared-sacrifice." To wit: "The City currently faces approximately $17 billion in total liabilities. Detroit is insolvent and cannot meet its financial obligations without a significant restructuring. Mr. Orr's plan provides for shared sacrifice among all creditor groups – from Wall Street and Main Street consistent with their legal rights – in order to return Detroit to a sustainable financial foundation and to permit much-needed reinvestment in the City." The punchline: "Detroit's road to recovery begins today"... By defaulting.

European Stocks Drop Fourth Week-In-A-Row; Worst In 12 Months
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 11:47For the first time since April 2012, the broad European equity markets have dropped for 4 weeks in a row. The drop of almost 6% is the largest since June 2012 and brings European stocks to almost unchanged on the year. But while stocks have been battered this week (even with yesterday's bounce), sovereign bonds are relatively calm still.

Guest Post: How Does It End?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 11:32The days of reasonable economic forecasting are over. Today, an economic forecast is more like the analysis of a criminal mind than the evaluation of economic data. The dominating role of government overpowers markets intentionally. In the short-term that will continue. Reactions to Federal Reserve minutes referencing continuation, alteration or cessation of quantitative easing cause stock markets to move by over 100 points. Other markets are affected by government interventions, just not so noticeably. Long term, markets will overpower government. Welfare states can no longer maintain their level of spending, services and welfare. However, they dare not stop lest civil unrest and violence break out. The bind they are in has no solution. Governments around the world are doing whatever is necessary to survive. Lying, stealing and outright confiscation will begin in order to support their bankruptcies. Cyprus was a minor precursor of what is coming.

Bob Janjuah: Markets Are "Tepper'd Out So Don't Get Sucked In"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 10:51There can be no doubt that the global growth, earnings, incomes and fundamental story remains very subdued. But at the same time financial markets, hooked on central bank 'heroin', have created an enormous and – in the long run – untenable gap between themselves and the real economy's fundamentals. This gap is getting to dangerous levels, with positioning, sentiment, speculation, margin and leverage running at levels unseen since 2006/2007. 'Tapering' is going to happen. It will be gentle, it will be well telegraphed, and the key will be to avoid a major shock to the real economy. But the Fed is NOT going to taper because the economy is too strong or because we have sustained core (wage) inflation, or because we have full employment - none of these conditions will be seen for some years to come. Rather, we feel that the Fed is going to taper because it is getting very fearful that it is creating a number of significant and dangerous leverage driven speculative bubbles that could threaten the financial stability of the US. In central bank speak, the Fed has likely come to the point where it feels the costs now outweigh the benefits of more policy.

Treasury Sales By Foreigners Hit Record High In April
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 10:28The monthly TIC (foreign capital flows) data gets less respect than it should. Perhaps it is because it is two months delayed, or perhaps due to the Treasury Department labyrinth one has to cross in order to figure out what is going on. Either way, for those who do follow the data set, will know by now that in April, foreign investors, official and private, sold $54.5 billion. Why is this number of note? Because it is the biggest monthly sale of Treasurys by foreigners in the history of the data series. The TSY revulsion was somewhat offset by a jump in MBS purchases, which saw $23 billion in acquisitions, while corporate bonds were sold to the tune of $4.5 billion. Finally, looking at equities, foreigners were responsible for some $11.2 billion in US stock purchases. The great rotation may not be working domestically, but it seems to be finally impacting foreign investors.

HFTs Pay Reuters To Learn First That Consumers Suddenly Less Confident
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 10:02After reaching six year highs last month, UMich consumer sentiment dropped back, missing expectations by the most in six months (82.7 vs 84.5 expectation). Of course, it is the hope for the future that maintains the overall level as the 'outlook' section rose from 75.8 to 76.7 - its highest in 7 months while the current conditions fell back notably (its biggest drop in a year!). Inflation expectations also rose for both 1- and 5-year horizons. The worse than expected print provided some modest pre-release jerk lower in futures which was immediately bid after as S&P pushes the highs in a seemingly bad-is-good reaction (though in a tiny 3 point range).

WTI Crude Tops $98 - Highest In 9 Months
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 09:41Amid the Syria debacle (or growth 'hope' if you are a true believer), the price of a barrel of WTI crude oil just topped $98 - its highest since September of last year. The bad news for all those that 'consume' is that this level of crude suggests the price at the pump will be hitting $3.80 - that elusive P/E expansion-ending level - very soon.

US Economy Decelerates As Industrial Production Misses, Capacity Utilization Lowest Since October
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 09:35Earlier today we reported that producer prices in May rose primarily as a result of a jump in electricity and nat gas prices. Which is why it is somewhat surprising that Industrial Production among Utilities dropped by the most, or -1.8%, for the second month in a row, following last month's -3.2% decline. This drop was offset by an increase in Mining IP of 0.7% (a decline from April's 1.1%) and the general manufacturing production which increased by a tiny 0.1%, still the best result of the past three months. Altogether, these amounted to an unchanged print in the broader index, which printed at 98.7, same as April, and the lowest since February, not to mention below expectations of a 0.2% increase. Finally, looking at capacity utilization, in May total industry CU edged down 0.1 percentage point to 77.6 percent, a rate 0.2 percentage point below its level of a year earlier and 2.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2012) average. It was also the lowest print since October 2012. Oops.

Welcome To The "Policy-By-Whim" Environment
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 08:56Sometimes you see something that is from a credible source and you are so dumbfounded you don't know what to think. Yesterday's raly-inducing WSJ' Jon Hiselnrath is one such example. If the Fed believes the market is worried about a rate hike, it would be downright terrifying how out of touch the Central Bank. Our explanation for the move in short rates is the loss of confidence in the Central Bank and its policy making process. The Fed's balance sheet and Quantitative Easing program has become a Frankenstein monster over which the Central Bank is losing control. QE1 started during a crisis and was either incredibly successful or well-timed. It is often forgotten that the S&P 500 dropped another 22% in the first 3 months of QE1. QE1 had an Exit Strategy, a plan, a time frame and a reason. QE3 has no Exit Strategy, no plan, time frame, no expected level of job creation and no known end. As such, forecasting is nearly impossible in a policy by whim environment, especially when the key decision maker is likely to leave.

May PPI Jumps Due To Rise In Gasoline, Electricity, Eggs And Imitation Cheese Production Prices
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 08:48So much for continued disinflation: moments ago the PPI headline number came out at the highest level since February, or 0.5%, well above the expected 0.1% and up significantly from the -0.7% in April. The core PPI ex-food (which rose 0.6%) and energy (increasing 1.3% in May, the highest since February) rose a far more manageable 0.1% in May, and just 1.7% Y/Y, below the statutory accepted 2% annual growth on both the producer and consumer side: a break down of just which finished products led to this increase (gasoline, eggs and imitation cheese as it turns out) is provided below. Luckily, since nobody in the US either eats or uses energy (because they are such a "small component" of the hedonically-adjusted purse), nobody will mind when companies have no option but to pass through rising input costs to consumers.

Chinese Cash Squeeze Leads To First Failed Liquidity-Draining Debt Auction Failure In 23 Months
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 08:25It was less than 24 hours after we warned that the Chinese "liquidity shortage" had hit an all time high, as a result of the PBOC's intransigence to inject liquidity into a financial system roiled by Bernanke's and Kuroda's offshore hot-money flows, that things got worse when early in the Chinese trading session we learned that the PBOC experienced its first liquidity drainage failure in 23 months, when the Chinese Finance Ministry failed to sell over 30% of the debt offered at auction - the direct result of a cash squeeze currently ravaging the country's banks. The ministry sold 9.53 billion yuan ($1.55 billion) of 273-day bills, less than the 15 billion yuan target, according to Chinabond, the nation's biggest bond-clearing house. Agricultural Development Bank of China Co. raised 11.51 billion yuan in a sale of six-month bills last week, less than its 20 billion yuan goal.

Frank Ocean says he'll "choose sanity" and let his fight with Chris Brown go.
"No criminal charges. No civil lawsuit," Ocean said on his Tumblr page Saturday night.
"As a child, I thought if someone jumped me it would result in me murdering or mutilating a man," the post said.
"But as a man i am not a killer. I'm an artist and a modern person. I'll choose sanity."
Authorities are investigating the January 27 brawl, in which Brown is accused of punching an unnamed victim on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement the following day.
Deputies responded to a call of six men fighting over a parking space at a recording studio, according to witnesses. Authorities did not name the man whom witnesses say Brown punched, but Ocean tweeted that it was him.
"(G)ot jumped by chris and a couple guys. lol. i only wish everest was there," Ocean wrote that night. "(C)ut my finger now I can't play w two hands at the grammys."
Everest is Ocean's dog.
Ocean also tweeted that he cut his finger and won't be able to play with "two hands" at the Grammys.
Ocean is nominated for six awards at the February 10 show, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Urban Contemporary Album, where his competition includes none other than Brown.

Name: Meagan
My current phone is a Samsumg Nexus S
I'd love to review the Nokia Lumia 800 because my commitment to Nokia has waned in the past few years since Smartphones entered the market. I previously liked Nokia and the layout of their products so reviewing these products may me reconnect me again with Nokia - literally!
I'm the perfect reviewer because I have a strong background in reviewing. For years I was a mystery shopper and my skills in creating unbiased market reviews were always admired by supervisors, leading me to be given the plumb mystery shopping jobs such as high class restaurant reviews. Additionally, I'm a smart phone addict! Even at family engagements my husband tells me off for using apps on my phone while people are talking (whoops!).
My friends, family and work colleagues see me as someone to ask when they are in the market to buy a particular product. I'm seen as someone who makes educated decisions and researches alternatives in the process of choosing suitable products. This happened when my husband and I chose a school for our children (three of our groups of friends followed suit) and when we travelled to Fiji my sister, mum and some work colleagues chose the same trip. I'm the classic example of the benefits of word of mouth advertising - let's see what I can do for the Nokia Lumia 800!
Name: Van Casipong
My current phone is a Nexus S
As an avid fan of Nokia before I start using Android, I was always amazed on how Nokia incorporate durability and quality on their design. The Lumia 800 is their first Windows Phone, and hopes are high in regaining the market share with their new line of Windows Phone.
I am always interested in gadgets and new technology, reading blogs and reviews once new gadgets are announced or rumored. I believe I will be able to review the product in a simple and detailed presentation, with emphasis on the things that matters on the consumer.
Name: Mrs Mac
My current phone is a Motorola Moto EM325
I'd love to review the Nokia Lumia 800 because I have heard it is very easy to use and knowing absolutely nothing about using a smartphone I figure I could put this theory to the test. I have enough teenagers to help me with this massive task.
I'm the perfect reviewer because I represent techno-phobes everywhere who rely on technology to communicate with family and friends and are looking for the smartest, easiest, most reliable and least frustrating way to do this.
Name: staza sherlock
My current phone is a ....... motorolla v535
I'd love to review the Nokia Lumia 800 because.... it's sleek and sexy and so in tune of what people want in a phone.
I'm the perfect reviewer because I...... love technology and always want to try everthing out and see all an items best features.
I've always owned a Nokia mobile phone but my trusty old Nokia desperately needs replacing. By staying loyal to Nokia, I'd be very honoured to trial and review their new Nokia Lumia 800. I have resisted following like a sheep, other family members, purchasing iPhones & then having to update them again.
I would love easy social-network access and fantastic internet performance, things I've haven't had the pleasure of so far, on my Nokia mobile. I'd be like a kid with a new toy, taking lots of photos to share with family and friends. I am capable of writing a decent review and I'm sure I would make Nokia proud.
Name: Alison Lee
My current phone is a ....... Nokia C3
I'd love to review the Nokia Lumia 800 because..... I have only ever used Nokia phones, I love them to put it simply. There ease of use and awesome features make a Nokia a must have. I love to be one of the first to try new things and am very fond of influencing others with my opinion. The Nokia Lumia 800 could be my next best friend!
I'm the perfect reviewer because I...... As I have mentioned, I love to share my opinions, and with over 350 Facebook friends as well as a huge family and friend network, I have the potential to reach many people. I love to play with phones and see what they can really do!
Name: Kristo
My current phone is Samsung Spica i5700.
I'd like to review new Nokia Windows Phone as its like going back to roots again (Nokia 5110 was on of my first phones, following lot of Nokias)
My name is Saleem Habibullah
I am currently am using an Nokia N8 (from 3 Vodafone)
I would love to review this Windows smartphone in a Nokia brand so that I can convince everyone to use this phone and to use via Vodafone network and brand. I would be able to tell all the benefits and the good from it. I will compare this to the other os out there and I wont pull my punches on any topic or issues.
I am the quintessential reviewer because I have been a Nokia user for more than 20 years. I have been using their phones from the old brick style to the newest smartphone, you name it and I have used it. You aks anything about Nokia I would have the answer to your questions. I have been waiting for the Nokia Windows phone as I am also an expert windows user and cannot wait to get my hands on this to breakdown and review it.
Name: Poppy
My current phone is a ......(voda phone account holder)
I'd love to review the Nokia Lumia 800 because.....NOKIA have the most attractive mobile phones EVER!
I'm the perfect reviewer because I......As a mother, wife, lover and significant other.....my multitasking skills are in need of such a big deal., to cope with everyday stresses, is reduced with NOKIA'S latest and greatest....Ive been forever a NOKIA GIRL...wouldn't changed that for the world!

But for 2013 the Cubs rotation depth is greatly improved. Villanueva just shifted to the bullpen, Rusin is pitching well enough in Iowa that a half-dozen MLB teams would promote him today to their rotations, and this is all in spite of the total washout that is Scott Baker.
As for the Cardinals, they called up Tyler Lyons. His control will keep him in games, but I don't think he's about to embark a Hall of Fame career.
per mlbtr...StL starting lefty, Jaime Garcia to undergo shoulder labrum repair after seeing Dr. Andrews and is out for the rest of the year. Some quote about Andrews surprised to see how well Garcia was pitching given how large (40%) the labral tear is.
We can measure how far the Cubs system is working by injuries like this, just watch how well Garcia's replacement in the rotation does. In 2011-12 the Cubs would be bringing up Justin Germano, Jason Berken, Chris Volstad or Rodrigo Lopez. Webster had a pic of RodLo in its definition of hitting rock bottom.
Right thing to do, thanks 54 best LB in Bears history
Side note I was at Kerry Wood's & Urlacher's last games (Seattle )
Can't wait to get my Bulls opener tix
Urlacher retiring from NFL
Cubs prioritize Vitters' development over Stewart
Dave Duncan has took a leave of absence back in January 2012 (wife has cancer). So I don't know how much he's around these days.
Something to keep in mind about Michael Bowden, is that even if he clears waivers, he can refuse an Outright Assignment to the minors & elect free-ageny because he has been outrighted previously in his career.
JOHN B: Exactly. I think if the Cubs make a deal with the Rangers, it's Texas who would want some of the Cubs ISBP value, not the other-way around.
And remember too that the best 16-year old international prospects usually sign right at the start of the ISP on July 2nd, so there could be a flurry of trades on July 2 that would allow a club like the Rangers to add ISBP values that would enable them to sign the #1 Venezuelan or Dominican prospect.
JOHN B: 2012-13 International Signing Bonus Pool (ISBP) values ($2.9M per club) CANNOT be traded, and 2013-14 ISBP values (which are divided into 1/4 values of unequal amounts and which vary depending on the club's 2012 winning percentage ranking) cannot be traded until the start of the 2013-14 International Signing Period (ISP) on July 2nd. (The 2012-13 ISP closes on June 15th, and no international players can be signed during the period of time extending from June 16 to July 1.
Thank you. It sounds like the Cubs could maybe even be more logical sellers of an ISBP share than buyers. Packaging a share with Garza or Feldman might increase the eliteness of the in-system prospect(s) coming back to the Cubs.
Scouting Report, Sanchez:
"A fastball and slider specialist, Sanchez has been a lights-out reliever in the minors and now appears fully cooked and ready to help with an MLB squad. He didn't look his best during a stint with the team in 2012, but if he stays healthy, he can still be a nasty late-inning weapon for the Cardinals in 2013, and probably for many years to come."
How is it that the best organization, with Dave Duncan, would waive this guy?
He seems to be a solid prospect. As good, or better than any bullpen shit the Cubs have currently. Oh wait...
Cubster - did you see this about Josh Conway?
"I thought maybe some scar tissue had ripped, but it was a ligament anchor for the UCL. Basically, I have a fractured elbow right now."
I hope he had a tampon on him!
from CBS sports and Tribune...
CBS...To make room for Garza on the roster, the Cubs earlier Tuesday designated RHP Michael Bowden for assignment. Also Tuesday, Chicago claimed RHP Eduardo Sanchez off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals and assigned him to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs.
Trib...The 24-year-old Sanchez had a 3.72 earned-run average in nine appearances at Triple-A Memphis. He made 43 appearances for the Cardinals in 2011 and '12, compiling a 3.40 earned-run average. Last year he had a 6.60 ERA in 17 outings for the Cardinals.

The Bears are looking good running AND passing now. Bush was a nice pickup in the off-season.
LINK to the article
A common theory throughout the NFL is that the importance of the running back position is in decline.
But Matt Forte insists that notion is groundless.
Despite the giddiness surrounding the addition of Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the Bears offense, the first five games demonstrated that the unit is better when there is a genuine balance of running and passing.
In the long run, offenses usually do not function efficiently without a competent running game. Despite missing a game with an ankle injury, Forte is averaging 4.7 yards a carry. He rushed for 107 yards on 22 attempts in last Sunday's 41-3 victory in Jacksonville. In the Bears' only loss in Green Bay, during which he hurt his ankle, Forte had just seven carries.
"The passing game doesn't work without the running game," Forte said Thursday after surprising students during a school assembly at Tilden Career Community Academy High School on the South Side. "They go hand and hand. You can't sit back and throw 70 balls and expect somebody to go up in double-coverage and get it. You have to run the ball."
Jay Cutler dropped back to pass 40 times (sacked once) and the Bears rushed 33 times against the Jaguars. Forte caught two of the four passes targeted for him.
"If you're playing on third down, and you're playing on first and second down you're running the ball," he said. "Third down, you have to (pass) block or you have to run a pass route and catch the ball. I run pass routes out of the backfield, so I'm playing."
The theme for Thursday's motivational event, which was sponsored by a battery company, was "Trust Your Power," and Forte could relate to that motto.
"I have had to do that my whole entire career," Forte said after addressing the students, including their winless football team.
"From a high school (in Slidell, La.) that didn't really make the playoffs until I got there, and then going to a college (Tulane) that didn't really go to a lot of bowl games and being recruited out of college saying that I went to a small school and might not be good enough for the NFL I had to trust my power a lot."
Forte planned to join teammates Earl Bennett and Kellen Davis on Thursday to watch the Tilden football team practice and provide encouragement. Earlier in the day, Forte spent almost two hours mingling with members of the football team in a private classroom as they shared pizza and conversation.
"It feels good to come here. I am talking to the football team and they only have 15 guys on the whole team," said Forte, who presented the team with a $20,000 item donation. "They have to play both ways and it's tough in high school to do that."

Do you have deep cross-section rims? When you air up your tires, is it a headache to get your pump to "bite" on the end of the presta valve? The Zipp Valve Extender is the answer. The extender threads onto the end of your valve to give your pump more surface area to grab. These are black anodized aluminum with a laser etched Zipp logo and a 3mm hex key fitting in the pump head end.
They will fit any presta valve stem and work with both clincher and tubular tires. Zipp Valve Extenders come in five sizes -- 27mm, 33mm, 48mm, 74mm, and 98mm. Please Remember: Before installing the Zipp Extenders, make sure to open the valve on your tube by unthreading the valve needle nut and back it out tight, lest it should vibrate back to a closed position. Zipp recommends using Teflon plumber's tape on your valve stem to create an airtight seal with the valve extender. Also, please note that the price is per extender, not per pair.

Kathleen Parker
Syndicated Columnist
Kathleen Parker's columns are syndicated nationally by The Washington Post. Parker is a consulting faculty member at the Buckley School of Public Speaking, and is a regular guest on television shows like The O'Reilly Factor and The Chris Matthews Show. Parker describes herself politically as "slightly to the right of center."
Recent Stories
Parker: IRS, AP scandals unite conservatives and the media
Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt -- the Mainstream Media. In a twist of irony, the two groups have coalesced around a common enemy: the U.S. government.
Parker: Bush's public persona at odds with gentle private side
In a reprieve from the horror of the most recent terrorist attack, the nation's attentions turned last week to the man who declared the war on terrorism, George W. Bush. During the April 25 dedication of his library at Southern Methodist University, nary a word was spoken about the most controversial aspect of his tenure, the Iraq invasion. All living presidents were in attendance and made only generic references to mistakes and regrets familiar to all. Of course, Bush famously acknowledges no mistakes or regrets, but rather bequeaths judgment to history.
Parker: Push for gun control a well-intentioned, futile gesture
The biggest obstacle to the Obama administration's push for tighter gun control may be its own best argument: Newtown. This is because nothing proposed in the gun control debates would have prevented the mass killing of children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and everybody knows it. At best, tighter gun laws will make us feel better.
Parker: Obama olive branch not sturdy enough to end stalemate
The media love optics and no one understands this better than President Obama. Thus, he invited a gang of Republican senators to din-dins at the swank (and legendary) Jefferson Hotel, one of the city's more discreet (and expensive) gathering places.
Parker: Sensitivity training taking sting out of federal workers
First they came for the drones.
Parker: Questions about Benghazi continue to haunt nation
We may never know exactly what happened in Benghazi the night Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed, but it's becoming increasingly clear that our response was short of optimum. Even today, there are far more questions than answers. Could Stevens have been saved? Was Washington doing all in its drone-loving power to intervene? And, finally, as now-retired Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fired back to congressional questioners during her recent appearance on Capitol Hill: What difference, at this point, does it make?
Parker: Women face unique risks in combat, in enemy hands
It must be true what they say about women -- that they are smarter, stronger, wiser and wilier than your average Joe.
Parker: Republicans must learn to speak Latinos' 'language'
The new year has begun with an avalanche of Republican retrospectives: What went wrong? What must the GOP do? I keep bumping into advice my father gave me a long time ago: "Learn Spanish. You will need it to survive in the world you will inherit."
Parker: With more unhitched, middle class becomes unhinged
As politicians compete to prove who loves the middle class more, they're missing the elephant and the donkey in the room. The middle class needs not just tax breaks and jobs but also marriage.
Parker: Obama 2.0 prefers to instigate instead of conciliate
Americans are justified in feeling numbed by the car alarm of Washington, D.C., politics. Noisiest is the "fiscal cliff," which will be looming at least until Christmas or even New Year's. What do most Americans know about it? Not much except that Washington, D.C., as usual, isn't doing what's necessary to prevent it.

K Frimpong & His Cubano Fiestas (plus download)
LP (Item 550473) Continental, 1977 — Condition: New Copy
The great second album from Ghana's K. Frimpong – backed by the group Vis-a-Vis (though billed in the title as his Cubano Fiestas) – a stunning blend of Ghanian Highlife music and rawer Afro Funk & soul! A few K. Frimpong numbers appeared on some of our favorite African compilations of the late 90s & 00s – but this original album from 1977 has remained rare. K. Frimpong sings and he's backed up by the fairly large Vis-A-Vis players, but they deliver a pretty tight groove – drums, congas and other percussion, trumpet and sax, some really soulful electric guitar, some piano, and occasional waves of spacey synth. Amazing stuff! Includes "Hwehwe Mu Na Yi Wo Mpena", "Asaase Yi So", "Awisa" and the side-long "Adama Nana (Medley)". (LP comes with the code for full digital download version.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Mumps is a viral infection. The infection causes fever and swelling of the parotid glands. Because of the mumps vaccine, this condition is not as common as it once was in the United States.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The virus is usually spread through contact with an infected person's saliva. The mumps virus is highly contagious. It spreads easily among people in close contact.
These factors increase your chance of developing mumps:
Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors.
About one-third of cases have no symptoms at all. Symptoms often occur 2-3 weeks after exposure to the virus.
Mumps may cause:
Other areas may also be affected, such as:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. The doctor will diagnose the mumps based on these findings.
There is no specific treatment for mumps. Mumps is caused by a virus. Viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics. Do not treat mumps with aspirin.
Note: Do not give aspirin to children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving a child aspirin.
In general, mumps will last about 10-12 days. Try these comfort measures:
In most healthy children, complications are rare. When complications do occur, they include:
Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent mumps. The vaccine contains live viruses that can no longer cause disease. The mumps vaccine is usually given in combination with:
The regular schedule for giving the vaccine is at age 12-15 months and again at age 4-6 years.
Ask your doctor if the vaccine is right for you. In general, avoid the vaccine if you:
If you are not vaccinated, avoid contact with someone who has mumps. Discuss the benefits of vaccination with your doctor.

1965: President Lyndon Johnson announces his Great Society programs. He also calls for a Voting Rights Act as well as air and water purification. The audience applauds 80 times during the address.
This is the first State of the Union address to be broadcast on prime-time TV.
1964: Johnson pledges to continue much of the work begun by President John F. Kennedy, who had been assassinated two months before. Johnson warns the Soviet Union that the U.S. remains a worthy adversary.
"We intend to bury no one, and we do not intend to be buried," he says, referring to a statement by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Although Johnson's speech is relatively brief (3,059 words), it took 24 writers six weeks and 10 to 16 major revisions to craft the final version.
1944: Ill after an overseas trip, President Franklin Roosevelt delivers his State of the Union as a "fireside chat" on the radio instead of before a joint session of Congress.
1941: Roosevelt speaks about the "Four Freedoms": Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
He warns of a "foreign peril" in Europe and urges support for England against Germany.
1862: With the Civil War not yet a year old, President Abraham Lincoln calls for the emancipation of the slaves.
1823: President James Monroe discusses the centerpiece of his foreign policy, now known as the Monroe Doctrine, which calls on European countries to end Western colonization.

Interactive Shell and Interactive Mode are not the same thing, despite the similar names and functionality.
If you type 'php -a' and get a response of 'Interactive Shell' followed by a 'php>' prompt, you have interactive shell available (PHP was compiled with readline support). If instead you get a response of 'Interactive mode enabled', you DO NOT have interactive shell available and this article does not apply to you.
You can also check 'php -m' and see if readline is listed in the output - if not, you don't have interactive shell.
Interactive mode is essentially like running php with stdin as the file input. You just type code, and when you're done (Ctrl-D), php executes whatever you typed as if it were a normal PHP (PHTML) file - hence you start in interactive mode with '<?php' in order to execute code.
Interactive shell evaluates every expression as you complete it (with ; or }), reports errors without terminating execution, and supports standard shell functionality via readline (history, tab completion, etc). It's an enhanced version of interactive mode that is ONLY available if you have the required libraries, and is an actual PHP shell that interprets everything you type as PHP code - using '<?php' will cause a parse error.
Finally, if you're running on Windows, you're probably screwed. From what I'm seeing in other comments here, you don't have readline, and without readline there is no interactive shell.
Interactive shell
As of PHP 5.1.0, the CLI SAPI provides an interactive shell using the -a option if PHP is compiled with the --with-readline option.
Using the interactive shell you are able to type PHP code and have it executed directly.
Example #1 Executing code using the interactive shell
$ php -a Interactive shell php > echo 5+8; 13 php > function addTwo($n) php > { php { return $n + 2; php { } php > var_dump(addtwo(2)); int(4) php >
The interactive shell also features tab completion for functions, constants, class names, variables, static method calls and class constants.
Example #2 Tab completion
Pressing the tab key twice when there are multiple possible completions will result in a list of these completions:
php > strp[TAB][TAB] strpbrk strpos strptime php > strp
When there is only one possible completion, pressing tab once will complete the rest on the same line:
php > strpt[TAB]ime(
Completion will also work for names that have been defined during the current interactive shell session:
php > $fooThisIsAReallyLongVariableName = 42; php > $foo[TAB]ThisIsAReallyLongVariableName
The interactive shell stores your history which can be accessed using the up and down keys. The history is saved in the ~/.php_history file.
As of PHP 5.4.0, the CLI SAPI provides
the php.ini settings cli.pager
. The cli.pager
setting allows an external program (such as less) to
act as a pager for the output instead of being displayed directly on the
screen. The cli.prompt
setting makes it possible to
change the php > prompt.
In PHP 5.4.0 it was also made possible to set php.ini settings in the interactive shell using a shorthand notation.
Example #3 Setting php.ini settings in the interactive shell
The cli.prompt
php > #cli.prompt=hello world :> hello world :>
Using backticks it is possible to have PHP code executed in the prompt:
php > #cli.prompt=`echo date('H:i:s');` php > 15:49:35 php > echo 'hi'; hi 15:49:43 php > sleep(2); 15:49:45 php >
Setting the pager to less:
php > #cli.pager=less php > phpinfo(); (output displayed in less) php >
The cli.prompt
setting supports a few escape
Sequence | Description |
\e | Used for adding colors to the prompt. An example could be \e[032m\v \e[031m\b \e[34m\> \e[0m |
\v | The PHP version. |
\b | Indicates which block PHP is in. For instance /* to indicate being inside a multi-line comment. The outer scope is denoted by php. |
\> | Indicates the prompt character. By default this is >, but changes when the shell is inside an unterminated block or string. Possible characters are: ' " { ( > |
Files included through auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file are parsed in this mode but with some restrictions - e.g. functions have to be defined before called.
Autoloading is not available if using PHP in CLI interactive mode.
In Windows, press Enter after your ending PHP tag and then hit Ctrl-Z to denote the end-of-file:
C:\>php -a
Interactive mode enabled
echo "Hello, world!";
Hello, world!
You can use the up and down arrows in interactive mode to recall previous code you ran.
Just a few more notes to add...
1) Hitting return does literally mean "execute this command". Semicolon to note end of line is still required. Meaning, doing the following will produce a parse error:
php > print "test"
php > print "asdf";
Whereas doing the following is just fine:
php > print "test"
php > ."asdf";
2) Fatal errors may eject you from the shell:
name@local:~$ php -a
php > asdf();
Fatal Error: call to undefined function...
3) User defined functions are not saved in history from shell session to shell session.
4) Should be obvious, but to quit the shell, just type "quit" at the php prompt.
5) In a sense, the shell interaction can be thought of as linearly following a regular php file, except it's live and dynamic. If you define a function that you've already defined earlier in your current shell, you will receive a fatal "function already defined" error only upon entering that closing bracket. And, although "including" a toolset of custom functions or a couple of script addon php files is rather handy, should you edit those files and wish to "reinclude" it again, you'll cause a fatal "function x already defined" error.
For those who (just like me) can't get it working, try to press CTRL+D after inserting some commands.
echo "Hello World!\r\n";
(Hit CTRL+D here)
Hello World!
This is NOT interactive mode, but may help you.
To have the "-i" available, you'll need the following arguments while compiling PHP:
--with-readline e --with-libedit
It seems the interactive shell cannot be made to work in WIN environments at the moment.
Using "php://stdin", it shouldn't be too difficult to roll your own. You can partially mimic the shell by calling this simple script (Note: Window's cmd already has an input history calling feature using the up/down keys, and that functionality will still be available during execution here):
$fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$in = '';
while($in != "quit") {
echo "php> ";
eval ($in);
echo "\n";
Replace 'eval' with code to parse the input string, validate it using is_callable and other variable handling functions, catch fatal errors before they happen, allow line-by-line function defining, etc. Though Readline is not available in Windows, for more tips and examples for workarounds, see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.readline.php
I use git-bash in windows to connect to my servers via SSH. When I use the interactive mode via 'php -a' command I have to hit ctrl+d twice to execute the entered code. Example:
(<ctrl+d> denotes hitting ctrl & D)
-bash$ php -a
Interactive mode enabled
echo 'hello world';
?>

hello world

Note: this still displays the
 tag but without the tag your output would likely be attached to your bash prompt like this:
hello world-bash$
When building php on FreeBSD from ports one can add --with-readline option by manually editing the var CONFIGURE_ARGS in Makefile inside the php port directory and proceeding with build as usual.
I rummaged through the internet and the manual so I could get to an interactive shell in a windows environment. I was trying to put the information into a note here, but it's too long.
It's a lot of words, but it's not hard to do. I've been keeping some notes on my website, but it's crap, and it's not always on. Maybe someone who knows what they're doing can get this where it needs to be? I think it's important to have all the instructions in the same place.

The links between South Africa and Brazil can be drawn back a long way.
The seas that supposedly divide these two countries in some sense unite them. Both ancient ships and hi-tech yachts have charted their course along these ocean lines. Pedro Cabral, the 15th century Portuguese explorer, was on his way to the Cape of Storms (named so by Bartolomeu Dias, another Portuguese explorer of the age, and one of Cabral's contemporaries) when he landed on the coast of Brazil.

CSO HRW Forced begging of Talibes in Senegal
Oct 05 2010
Download right click "save as"
At least 50,000 children attending hundreds of residential Quranic schools, or daaras, in Senegal are subjected to conditions akin to slavery and forced to endure often extreme forms of abuse, neglect, and exploitation by the teachers, or marabouts, who serve as their de facto guardians. By no means do all Quranic schools run such regimes, but many marabouts force the children, known as talibés, to beg on the streets for long hours-a practice that meets the International Labour Organization's (ILO) definition of a worst form of child labor-and subject them to often brutal physical and psychological abuse. The marabouts are also grossly negligent in fulfilling the children's basic needs, including food, shelter, and healthcare, despite adequate resources in most urban daaras, brought in primarily by the children themselves.More information about human trafficking on the website of HRW.

When you are in lane number 1 (the fast lane) of a multi lane highway riding in the left track can be an invitation to a car on your right to pull into your lane. Depending upon the shoulder (or lack thereof) it can also take away lanes of escape for evasive action.
Right track, left track... there is no one correct action. The choice depends upon the situation. Anyone who slavishly follows a "use this track" rule is adding unnecessary risk to their ride.
"Friends don't let friends ride junk!"
exactly as we teach it in the BRC.
make your decisions based on the changes that occur within your ride on a moment-by-moment basis.
now, that "oil collects in the center of the lane" thing has been going around for years. hear it in my BRC classes all the time, especially when we address the question of "which part of the lane is the correct one to ride in?"
i consider myself to be a student of the road, and in my 35+ riding years i have yet to find a general accumulation of oil, debris or any other memorable crap in the center of a single lane. yeah, sometimes a bit does gather, but generaly speaking, not so much. and certainly not enough to take me off my O-I-O late apex cornering line.
well, except in toll booths and major city intersections. there i find oil, so i tend to ride U-U-U (upright, upright, upright) thru the left or right tire track, depending upon situational specifics.
Ride Safe, Ride Lots
From one MSF coach to another, 1+.
Anyone who follows a strict set of "riding rules" will likely find out one day that they were wrong, and find out the hard way. This includes MSF instructors who teach "this is the only way to do it."
Not too many out there, but there are some. Fewer than there used to be.

+1 from another MSF coach. I always preach adjusting your situation to fit the environment. This includes lane position, speed, etc. Any coach who says "this is the only way to do it" in terms of riding rules (with a very few exceptions, like ATGATT) is doing a serious disservice to their students.

When I ride I am always looking for/choosing my optimum lane position based on a mental list of factors that I've developed that help me decide how to set up for many different road conditions. So that means I move around within the three mini-lanes to best suit the conditions.
I have never done a track day (yet), though I do local off-road/dirt bike events and I ice-race in the winter on the amateur level (that means back-marker). But I have read many books and over the years, developed my "riding flow" for the twisties. People that ride with me for those back road blitzes comment, "we hardly ever see your brake lights, yet, you just seem to move and flow through the corners, and you're quick!"
Over the years, experimenting on my own, listening/learning, actually applying the tactics taught in the MSF ERC and ARC, it has really brought my riding up. I still want to take a track day with professional instruction.

Sorry, but I don't recall referencing the fast lane.
I was assuming that readers could deduce my meaning as it pertained to the post I was responding to. His point was claiming your lane to avoid being crowded out. I dislike insulting the intelligence of the reader by assuming they can't possibly understand my point without bloviating and pontificating.
Guess you missed that little insignificant nuance. I'll try to do better at spelling it out next time.

I'm picking nits here and don't want to hijack this thread. I thought the right hand lane was #1 and the lane numbers increased to the left; 2 and then 3.

You're comment re cringing whenever you see someone who may not be the rookie that you assume doing something that may well be the right thing to do in the given situation shows you as one who may slavishly follow so-called rules to your own detriment. Feel free to disagree.
Might depend upon where you live. In California lanes are numbered from left to right.
