Magnetic Couple Has Questions, Please Help (DISCLOSURE) (RIMMING)
Hello Dr.Bob, My partner and I are a gay couple, we just celebrated our 4th anniversary. I am poz, he is neg. Sexually, we have both come to an understanding on whats hot and safer, and what we should not do. We are comfortable with that as well. Even after all of that was said and done, he still has an issue with rimming. We have read through this site in regards to that, but, it still is an issue. Can you provide some more insite on this? We also, would like to get to the next level in our relationship, and obtain a domestic partnership certificate ( we are in Brooklyn NY). And in doing so, I want to disclose my status to my brother and sister-in-law. I have been practicing speeches, writing things out, trying to get the best approach to this. If I may ask, did you and Dr. Steve disclose to anyone in your family, or his? Although everyone hearing the news will react differently, can you offer some choice words or phrases, that I can borrow? I'm sure you will agree, when I say there is no 2nd chance for this, and I want my only chance to be as opitmal as possible. My health is fine, thank God. Diagnosed 8/9/2004 Started med's 9/20/2004, I'm undetectable since March 2005 and remain that way, Tcells 392, 21%. Anything that you can share is most welcomed. I applaud California on its descision for Gay Marriage, I hope the trends continues its way out to NY, and across the country. Anyway, thank you in advance and , I look forward to your response. Be Well, Frankie
Hello 4th Anniversary Magnetic Couple,
Regarding the HIV risk associated with rimming, I've reviewed the currently available information many times in this forum (see below) and nothing has changed. There are no documented cases of HIV transmission/acquisition from rimming or getting rimmed. There is, however a risk of other STDs. (See below.) To decrease rimming risk, plastic wrap or a dental dam can be used. None of this is rocket science. Consequently, if your partner has "an issue" with rimming, perhaps the issue isn't STD/HIV related. Maybe he just isn't into it or whatever. Have a nonjudgmental heart-to-heart talk with him and, as always, respect the boundaries of his comfort level.
Disclosure is a much more complex and nuanced topic! Did Steve and I disclose to anyone in our families? Yes, in fact we disclosed to everyone in our families and eventually the general public as well. Unfortunately generic choice words or magic phrases related to HIV disclosure do not exist as everyone's situation is so unique. In general I would recommend disclosing in person rather than online or over the phone if possible. You can set the stage in advance by letting them know you have a "serious issue to discuss." I also recommend being very direct and honest and being prepared for almost any type of response from a loving tearful supportive hug to a shock-and-awe nuclear outburst of anger, frustration and fear. That you are disclosing now while you are healthy and in the process of setting up domestic partnership should be comforting as you break the HIV news. Don't worry too much about the reaction you may or may not get. It's relatively unpredictable, no matter how eloquently you explain the situation. And always remember, you're the one with the illness! You shouldn't have to worry about comforting your relatives. If they have a problem with HIV, it's really their problem to work out and come to terms with. You've got enough on your plate to deal with. Most family and friends come around eventually, even if their first reaction isn't exactly what we hoped for. You can read more about disclosure in the archives. We have a whole chapter dedicated to the subject.
Good luck! Happy Anniversary!
Dr. Bob
rimming Nov 6, 2006
Dear dr. Frascino, Thank you for all the great job that you are doing with all of us confused and in need of professional advice.Well im coming from Croatia and if you could be so nice to answer me shortly on 2 questions. First:If guy preforms rimming to me,are there any chances of contracting the HIV or anything else( im the receiving one). Second question:Can i get amebas by deep kissing with someone who already has them(ameboasis or something like that)? Many, many thanks in advance. Hope to get an answer from you.Greetings from sunny Croatia,Sasa
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Sasa from Sunny Croatia,
I've enjoyed many sunny days in sunny Croatia, particularly in Dubrovnik and Split!
Regarding rimming, there have been no documented cases of HIV transmission from rimming or getting rimmed. However, other STDs can be passed by the oral-fecal route. See below.
As to your second question, no, amebiasis is not transmitted by deep kissing, but can be transmitted by rimming.
Stay well.
Dr. Bob

Dr. Bob,
Can you become infected with HIV if you are rimmed by an Hiv+ guy? Thanks.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Another QTND (Question That Never Dies). A simple search of the archives would have answered your question, saving you the need to post a question and me the time to post a redundant response. But that's OK. We'll forgive you this time.
There have been no recorded cases of HIV transmission/acquisition from rimming or getting rimmed. However, rimming without a barrier does place you at risk for other STDs. Now before you immediately start typing yet another redundant question, if you want a rundown on exactly which STDs I'm referring to, check out the archives, OK?
Dr. Bob
nobody talks about rimming Jan 11, 2006
Dr Frascino, how big is the possibility of becoming HIV+ for rimming? I look for information but nobody talks about it, maybe nobody does it!?
Response from Dr. Frascino
What do you mean no one talks about rimming?? I just checked the archives of this site and found over 250 entries posted on the subject!! Check them out and you'll soon see that there have been no recorded cases of getting HIV from rimming or getting rimmed, OK? However, I should mention other STDs, such as hepatitis A, intestinal parasites and herpes, can be easily transmitted via rimming.
Stay well.
Dr. Bob

I finally got my hands on Beverly Yuen Thompson's wonderful documentary about heavily tattooed women, "Covered" and I was so excited. It's a fantastic film and it had special resonance for me because it featured quite a few asian women talking about their experiences and especially focused on their parents reactions.
My parents have been preparing for my tattoos since I was 12 years old, when my father's employees suggested that he allow me to get tattooed because then I might make some friends. That has always stuck with me. get tattooed, get friends and this has been the truest thing, because many of my friends are tattoo artists and heavily tattooed people. it was the right crowd for me.
My family is both very accepting of my artwork and wary of it at the same time. They know it is something that is true and important to me, but they miss me like I was. They know they can't control me, and they wish they could. I don't blame them. I wish I could control me too.
I love tattooed women, maybe because they are uncontrollable, they are themselves to the point of drawing symbols of their power on their skin. Talk about owning your own body, being in your body, claiming yourself. I love it. When the world is in an uproar over whether women should have a choice or not when it comes to their bodies, being tattooed is one of the most visible choices of all.
I find that I get the most harassment where people feel proprietary over women's bodies. In the South of France, there is a great love for women that is undeniable, but that love comes with a price. When you don't conform to the stereotype of what makes women beloved there, you are privy to the scorn and complaint, or in a lighter vein, the curiosity and bemused admiration of others, which no matter what it comes out as, you are being judged and often touched and always, always hassled.
In much of the world, women are viewed as public space, to varying degrees, and the more you decide that space is your own, most visibly by being tattooed, it sends out an alarm that tacit agreement is being violated and you are subject to the opinions and sometimes violent reactions of those who consider themselves the guardians of said public space.
It's something that I have learned to deal with, but often its also why I cover up, because I don't always want to talk about my decision to be tattooed. I don't need to answer to my skin. my skin is my own soul's house, and I shall decorate it as I please. I don't need to share it with anyone, as this place was built just for me. Having to answer for it or explain it especially to strangers is unpleasant, not in every circumstance, as people can be nice and complimentary as well, but I don't appreciate being assessed, which is probably unrealistic as I cut quite a bella figura no matter where I go and what I do, my flamboyance in evidence whether I have my tattoos on display or not.
Beverly's film spoke to me deeply not just because of the frustration I feel but also for the deep love I have for female tattoo artists – who I feel akin to as women who are working and thriving in what has traditionally been considered a man's occupation. It is just the same in comedy, so we are sisters for sure. I have long loved Vyvyn Lazonga too so it's great to see her here.
I hope that I see more tattooed women talking about what its like to be who they are. I hope that we can get together and rejoice in our love for art and ourselves and revel in the rebellion. It's just so fucking great.

In the same game in which Colts quarterback Andrew Luck put his head into the leg of Jaguars safety Dawan Landry, Luck was subjected to a couple of illegal shots to the head, according to his interim head coach.
Bruce Arians tells ESPN's Sal Paolantonio that Arians has had enough "cheap shots to the head" of Luck. And Arians wants to see players get sent to the showers for it.
"Even if Andrew slides, guys are coming for his head," Arians told Paolantonio. "That was a cheap shot by [Dawan] Landry. He got a penalty. But a penalty is not enough. Landry should have been ejected from the game. He is sliding, and it's illegal to launch yourself at the quarterback's head like that. He should have been ejected."
Arians hasn't address the situation with Luck because Arians doesn't want Luck to change his style of play. (Apparently, Arians also thinks Luck doesn't watch ESPN.)
Actually, Luck isn't the target audience. Arians apparently is trying to get the officials, who have a reputation for protecting guys like Tom Brady, to provide equivalent protection to Luck.
With Luck and Brady facing off later today, there's no time like now for Arians to make a plea for more protection for Luck.

A super sale on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and a creative chicken salad recipe from reader, Valerie Best, of Bluffton, put me on a chicken salad-making frenzy that lasted pretty much throughout last weekend.
Besides Best's recipe for Caribbean Chicken Salad, brimming with the tropical flavors of pineapple, coconut, macadamia nuts and Caribbean Jerk seasoning, I also decided to make curried chicken salad with pecans and a chicken-pasta salad with hard-boiled eggs and lots of crunchy fresh vegetables.
When it comes to chicken salad, many people are purists, favoring it plain with just mayonnaise and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Some want their salad with a little minced celery and onion mixed in and others enjoy it fully loaded with nuts and fruits and a wide array of herbs and spices.
To some folks, the way cooked chicken is cut for the salad is important, too, with many preferring chicken cubed or chopped, as opposed to shredded or torn.
All of the salads here were made from poached chicken breasts made at home, but if you are short on time, you can make tasty salads from rotisserie chickens purchased at the supermarket — ready-made for mixing into a salad or simply placed on top of a bed of greens and drizzled with dressing.
Whether it's chicken made into a salad, or a salad made with chicken, chicken can feed a family on a budget.
If you can pick up chicken on sale, purchase several packages for using now or freezing for use later. But even if chicken is not on sale where you shop, buy it anyway. The price is always reasonable and the season continuously good.
Sue Ade, a Lowcountry resident since 1985, is a gourmet baker and collector of vintage cooking utensils and cookbooks. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 683-0375.
Bluffton's Valerie Best is a good cook and an accomplished baker. If Best's name looks familiar, it's for good reason. Best took first place honors in the BT Holiday Cookie Contest for the past two years in a row.
3½ cups finely diced cooked chicken
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ cup light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste*
¾ teaspoon Caribbean Jerk seasoning
½ cup toasted coconut flakes
½ cup pineapple tidbits, quartered
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, mayonnaise, salt* and Caribbean Jerk seasoning. Toss with chicken, coconut, pineapple and nuts. Serve warm or chilled. Makes about 4 servings.
*Kitchen Ade note: I used Sauer brand Jamaican Jerk seasoning. It already contained salt, so I did not have to add any salt to the recipe. Check your brand of jerk seasoning for salt and consider it when preparing this dish.
4 cups cooked and cubed chicken
½ cup toasted pecan pieces, plus whole pecans for garnishing
1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon vinegar
1½ teaspoons granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
¾ teaspoons salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon curry powder
Dash cayenne pepper
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients, except for the chicken and nuts, blending well. Place chicken and pecan pieces in a large mixing bowl. Fold in dressing, using just enough dressing to coat chicken. Add more dressing as needed. Serve on a bed of lettuce garnished with whole pecan pieces. Makes 4 servings.
4 cups shredded cooked chicken
¼ cup minced celery
¼ cup minced sweet onion
Salt and pepper
Blend chicken with celery and onion. Fold in mayonnaise to coat well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4 servings as a salad or 6 standard-size sandwiches.
This recipe, shared by Ellie Bollin of Hilton Head Island, continues to be one of the most popular recipes ever to appear in this column.
2 pounds boneless, skinless, trimmed chicken breasts
¾ cup diced celery
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1½ tablespoons golden raisins
1½ tablespoons dried apricots, diced
1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
¾ cup Major Grey's chutney*
2 teaspoons curry powder
Sliced almonds, toasted
Fruit salad, for garnishing
Place chicken in a large skillet in a single layer with water to cover. Heat to a simmer and poach very gently until done, about 6 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken. Remove chicken to cool. When cool, cut into large dice. Place chicken in a large bowl with celery, parsley, raisins and apricots; mix to combine. For dressing, purée chutney with curry powder in a food processor or blender. Add mayonnaise and pulse until blended. Mix dressing into chicken mixture by large spoonfuls until desired consistency is achieved. Serve on lettuce leaves, garnished with fruit and almonds. Serves 4.
*Kitchen Ade note: I found the chutney in the pickle/olive aisle of the supermarket.
1 pound pasta, shells or elbow macaroni
3 cups diced cooked chicken
3 stalks celery, diced
½ small Vidalia onion, minced
1 small carrot, minced
½ medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 cups Hellman's mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream, regular or light
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced, for garnish
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley, for garnish
Cook pasta until tender (al dente), then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Place thoroughly drained pasta in a large mixing bowl and chill. Do not skip this step — the chilling will keep your pasta from falling apart when mixing the salad. In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in the vegetables and chicken.
Gently fold the chicken mixture into the chilled pasta. Cover and chill for several hours or overnight to blend flavors. Before serving, stir pasta mixture gently, garnishing with hard-boiled eggs and parsley. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
One pound of raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts will yield approximately three cups or 12-ounces of diced cooked chicken with no waste. For the purposes of comparison, three pounds of cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (upper left) yielded the same amount of meat as five pounds of chicken purchased with its skin and ribs left on, so calculate waste when purchasing chicken for making salad. The price of chicken breasts, depending on how they are offered, varies widely so check to see what you are buying. Chicken tenderloins and thin-sliced chicken cutlets are pricey and not the best choice for making salad, unless you plan to cook them in the microwave oven where uniform size and thickness is important. When purchasing chicken, check prices against purpose, then go from there.

The Canon PowerShot S90 is designed for photography enthusiasts and it carries a hefty price tag to prove it. It also has some of the best controls you'll find on a compact camera for manual and semimanual shooting modes. Its lens and photo quality are top notch, too. Actually, about the only thing that's unimpressive with the S90 is its performance; those searching for digital SLR speed in a pocket camera probably won't be happy. But, aside from a few other minor criticisms, the S90 is a first-rate compact camera for advanced amateurs.
The S90 looks fairly innocuous; it's a textbook Canon box-and-circle design. The body is completely flat for a minimalist appearance, but it gives you nothing to grip. The black metal casing doesn't make it any easier to hold onto either. The S90's finer design points revolve around the excellent wide-angle f2-4.9 lens and its manual and semimanual shooting controls.
Around the lens is a new Control Ring that can be assigned to handle changes to aperture, shutter speed, focus, zoom, white balance, exposure compensation, or ISO. (A button on top lets you speedily change what it controls.) The ring rotates with firm, pleasing clicks so it's easy to select settings accurately and it makes using the camera quite fun. The opposite can be said about the Control Dial around the directional pad on back. This dial works in tandem with the Control Ring to change settings quickly. For most of the shooting modes, it defaults to exposure compensation; however, in Scene mode, it changes the scene type you're using. However, it moves much too freely and can result in accidental changes. Otherwise, the combination of the two rings is great and makes for swifter changes than you'll get on other compact cameras.
On top of the body is a small flash that automatically pops up and retracts when turned on and off. The S90 is also compatible with Canon's add-on HF-DC1 flash unit. There are mini-HDMI and USB/AV outputs under covers on the right camera's right side. And, well, the rest of the design is similar to the majority of Canon's PowerShot lineup. The buttons are nearly flush with the body and everything's packed close together, which might upset some users.
There are no less than 25 shooting modes available on the S90. The bulk of these are specialty scene modes; 17 in all and none of them are out of the ordinary for PowerShot models. There is also an Auto mode that is pretty much Canon's reliable scene-recognizing Smart Auto feature. There is a Low Light mode that drops the resolution to 1,824×1,368 pixels (2.5 megapixels), but allows for a sensitivity of ISO 12,800. A VGA-quality movie mode is on the dial as well, so HD fans are out of luck. Plus, you can't use the optical zoom while recording, not that there's a lot there to use.
The remaining shooting modes put more and more settings under your control: Program AE, Shutter priority, Aperture priority, Manual, and Custom. The last mode lets you assign a frequently used set of shooting options and settings to the C position on the mode dial. To go with it, you can register up to five commonly used menu items to a My Menu tab in the main-menu system.
Other advanced options include exposure bracketing and focus bracketing that will take one photo at a manual focus position and then one each at preset positions nearer and farther; manual white balance correction; and raw or raw plus JPEG capture. There are 45 shutter speeds from 15 seconds to 1/1,600 of a second and 14 aperture values–f2 through f8. You also get a selectable range of 17 ISOs between ISO 80 and ISO 3,200. The amount of tweaking available is great for a compact camera and the control layout makes it reasonably fast and painless.
Performance is the weakest aspect of the S90, and, overall, it's not that bad. It's just that if you're expecting the fast performance of a digital SLR, you'll be disappointed. From powered off to first shot is 1.8 seconds and it's the same from shot-to-shot when shooting in high-quality JPEG; shooting raw the time extends to 3.4 seconds. Continuous shooting and saving in JPEG is about 1 frame per second. The S90's shutter lag is likely to be the sticking point for some because it's really no better than an average point-and-shoot: 0.5 second to focus and capture in bright conditions. The good thing is that it's nearly the same in low-light conditions at 0.6 second.
The S90's photo quality is impressive for a compact camera. However, like most of Canon's PowerShot line, ISO 400 is about the limit before you start seeing softening of fine detail. On the other hand, its photos have minimal noise and its noise suppression isn't heavy to the point of destroying all detail until ISO 3,200. The S90 lives up to Canon's improved low-light performance claims. Its colors are also consistent through to ISO 1,600 so usable photos at small print sizes are possible.
The lens is sharp and consistent from edge to edge. There's a small amount of barrel distortion at the camera's widest 28mm-equivalent position. The zoom is short on this camera–3.8x–so there was no reason to expect to find any pincushion distortion and there wasn't any. What was visible was some chromatic aberration that was a below average amount in high-contrast situations where you expect to see it, but it's noticeable in prints of 8×10 inches or larger (especially if you're sensitive to seeing it). Its color quality was excellent for coming from the little compact. Also, exposure and white balance were also generally very good from the S90, though as typical from pocket cameras there was highlight clipping.
Canon markets the PowerShot S90 as "the perfect everyday camera for people who are serious about great photography." This is close to on point, though I would change it to perfect everyday compact camera. The lens, controls, and shooting options make it a fine choice for enthusiasts. The S90's photo quality is on par with the best PowerShots, too, which is to say generally excellent. However, the S90s performance makes it best suited for portraits, landscapes, and the like–but not for fast-moving subjects.

Developed by Award-Winning Beauty Theorist, Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Philip Young M.D., The YoungVitalizer™ is the Breakthrough Incision-Less Face Lift that gives you Long Lasting, Better and More Natural Results than Traditional Face Lift Procedures. The YoungVitalizer beautifies the most important elements of your face by reversing the aging process more appropriately. You can look younger and better in a natural way while avoiding the obvious appearance of having surgery. The YoungVitalizer can be a much better alternative than Traditional Upper and Lower Eye Lifts, Brow Lifts, Cheek Lifts, Mid Face Lifts, Lip & Mouth Lifts. Come find out more about The YoungVitalizer by contacting us here: Contact Us at the YoungVitalizer.
What's our why? For the YoungVitalizer Team and Dr. Philip Young our meme is to "Continually improve facial rejuvenation to get the best and most natural results through the fusion of traditional thoughts with innovation and thinking outside of the box."
Here are some points that make us Unique:
1. We have a better Understanding of the Aging Process: The Aging Process is brought on predominately by a volume loss which causes the facial tissues to draw inward and downward. Face lifts and traditional procedures tend to pull the face backward and upward which is not the right direction to reverse the aging process. This has been the reason for some of the unnatural results that you see in the plastic surgery world. The most natural way to reverse the aging process is a procedure that moves the tissues of the face in an upward and outward direction. The YoungVitalizer does just that. It presents the most important elements of the face in an upward and outward direction to recreate the youthful face that you had when you were younger. Click here to See The YoungVitalizer Before and After Picture Results to judge for yourself. Here is also a Comparison Chart between the YoungVitalizer | Traditional Procedures | Fillers. We also have a section on Learning More about the YoungVitalizer: The Breakthrough Incision Less Face Lift that we are constantly updating.
2. We have a unique insight on facial beauty: The lack of understanding of what makes a face beautiful was also leading to unnatural results. Through Dr. Young's time spent in Los Angeles training with some of the world's best Facial Plastic Surgeons, he knew that Plastic Surgery was missing something important. To his surprise, he learned about the limits of our understanding of Facial Beauty. After years of extensive research, Dr. Young Developed an Award Winning Theory on Facial Beauty Called the Circles of Prominence (Click this link to read his Theory on Facial Beauty in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery). As we said earlier, you can markedly benefit from this theory on facial beauty because it gives our team an incredible advantage in getting the most beautiful and natural results available to you.
The development of the YoungVitalizer is based on these two central ideas: 1. A better understanding of the Aging Process; and 2. a markedly improved blueprint for getting better results - i.e. A Unique Theory on Facial Beauty. By combining these two important new ways of thinking, The YoungVitalizer can be the procedure to help you get the most remarkable age reversing results. Follow this link to see Dr. Young explain this during his interview with Margeret Larson on New Day Northwest: Dr. Philip Young on New Day Northwest. You can learn more about the YoungVitalizer by following the links below: Click here to read more about Dr. Young's renowned Theory on Facial Beauty or click here to learn more about the benefits of beauty.

Three peg espresso shelf 02/20/2015
This shelf was sent to my nephew, for his baby's first birthday! The color was a hit and matches her room! They sent pictures showing her little jacket and backpack hanging on the pegs and stuffed animals sitting on the shelf! It looked adorable! This gift is functional and cute for years to come! I would recommend My Bambino for that special gift!

I bought this for my daughters room and it looks nice - I just wish it were actualyl expresso wood stain instead of painted wood. It will work and the pegs work well for her little coats I was just a bit disapointed.

Civil War Monthly Featured Document return to document overview
Hilton Head Decr. 19th 61
Dear Chas
I got yours of the
North myself. I send them to you
by Adams' Express, by same boat
which carries this letter. The broken
gunstock I picked up inside of
fort Walker immediately after
the battle (next morning). There
were entire muskets enough that
I suppose I could have got, but
I thought the damaged one would
be more interesting as a relic than
if it were whole, -- as one musket
looks pretty much like another.
The two pieces of shell I
found inside a stockade in one of
the trenches. Hold onto them all
& if I've a chance I'll send you something
more when I can. -- I wrote
you a few days ago that we were
not to go from here on another
trail immediately, as we had expected
The fact is, we had orders, three
or four days after landing, to hold
And when we had gotten about
tired of waiting for the order of em-
barkation actually to come, Genl
Sherman at last gave us notice
that we should be ordered off last
Monday, -- last Monday came and went
however, & brought only a further
postponement with unpleasant sus-
picions of an entire alteration of
our plan of operations. You under-
stand, we (Viele's Brigade) want to
be doing something on our own hook
as the first intention was that
we should, (after helping to take
and secure Hilton Head.) -- so that
we could be a little army by
ourselves, and make our own plans
and find out how much we could do. --
At present we have assurances,
which we almost rely upon, that
this will be done after all, and
that we are only waiting for the to sink
the business of Fort Pulaski, before
branching off on our own private
campaign. -- The entire 2nd Brigade
is gone to Beaufort (perhaps I
told you that before.), -- and one of our
Regiments and one of the 3rd Brigade
have also been detached and are
stationed on Tybee Island, convanient
to Pulaski; -- The Signal Officers
communicate constantly, by two
intermediate stations, between
here and Beaufort. One of the
greatest amusements we have
now is with the contrabands, that
come to the staff camp, in
charge of the picket just opposite
to where we are located; -- particularly
as the Genl. has a great taste
for drawing out the fun in
any body's Character and turning
it round to look at it all over
-- The last, this morning, who had
main was a rather loaferish
looking boy about 16 or 17, with
a younger companion. Both
looked pretty sleek, and as if they
knew how to find the good things to
eat if there were any round. Says
the Genl. "What would you do if
we were to go away from here
and your white folks come back?"
The nig first looked puzzled, then
suddenly very sober in addition. --
"Wha'? you go way from he'?" -- "Yes" --
"And dey come back?" -- "Yes" --
"Wha', Come back,"An' you go 'way.
Do' no wha' to 'tink 'bout dat -- Wha'.
come back? -- Christ! "
It's not a bad idea, that of
comfortable for Miss McGregor, and
there's no doubt you could do service
enough, acting both for Federal &
State Gov'ts, to make it well worth
while. Weather here now is very
fine. Warm & Sunny in day, no
overcoats needed till Sunset or
thereabout, and nights cold but
comfortable with hay stuffed bedding
& plenty of blankets. -- If you have
not yet sent off the things I asked
you for in my last by Express,
please put in package a ream
of small letter paper, same size
as this. -- Remember me to Miss
McG. & Miss Sally with best
regards. Let me know how you
are living now. Is 59 Hancock
in operation again, or are you
too much on the wing to keep house?
Your truly
Jno CD. Jr

Andrew Morales and UC Irvine were on their way to an NCAA playoff bid that seemed a foregone conclusion.
Morales was 40-1 as a college pitcher, including 9-0 this season, when Irvine began a series against Cal State Fullerton two weeks ago.
But a late-season slide — and consecutive losses suffered by their senior ace — nearly extinguished Irvine's chance for a postseason opportunity.
Irvine finished third in the Big West Conference and barely made the 64-team playoff field.
On Friday, the Anteaters (35-22) will be counting on Morales to ignite a playoff run when Irvine plays Nevada Las Vegas (35-23) in the first round of a double-elimination regional at Corvallis, Ore. Top-seeded Oregon State (42-12) plays North Dakota State (25-24) in the other first-round game.
The Anteaters are one of four Southland teams in the playoffs.
Long Beach State (32-24) plays North Carolina (34-25) in a regional at Gainesville, Fla. Long Beach won nine of its final 10 games and finished second in the Big West to earn its first postseason appearance under fourth-year Coach Troy Buckley. Florida (40-21) and College of Charleston (41-17) also are in the regional.
Cal State Fullerton (32-22) plays Nebraska (40-19) at Stillwater, Okla. Fullerton rebounded from Coach Rick Vanderhook's suspension to win its final seven games and earn a 23rd consecutive playoff appearance. Oklahoma State (45-16) and Binghamton (25-25) also are in the regional.
Pepperdine (39-16), winner of the West Coast Conference tournament, plays Arizona State (33-22) at San Luis Obispo. Cal Poly (45-10) and Sacramento State (39-22) also are in the regional.
Winners of the 16 regionals advance to Super Regionals from June 6 to 9. Eight teams will advance to the College World Series taking place June 14 to 25 in Omaha.
Morales, who pitched two seasons at Rio Hondo College before transferring to Irvine, has pined for an NCAA postseason opportunity since last season, when the Anteaters won 33 games but failed to earn a bid.
"Once you get that taste of winning, that real feel of it, it's something you don't want to let go of," Morales said. "You want to get more of it."
Morales' evolution into a winner began at West Covina South Hills High, though it was not immediately apparent. He made the South Hills varsity as a junior but failed to get out of the first inning in one of his early starts.
"He got his head beat in and he didn't like it," said Kevin Smith, who coached Morales at South Hills. "From that point on he started to work harder and figure it out. He started to ask a lot of questions and he got progressively better."
Morales helped South Hills win the Southern Section Division III title in 2009 and enrolled at Rio Hondo after graduating in 2010.
"He was a strike-thrower," Rio Hondo Coach Mike Salazar said.
Morales went 21-1 at Rio Hondo, his only loss coming in the first game of the state tournament. He said he took inspiration from his younger sister, Emily, who began battling through a form of leukemia before his sophomore season and is now cancer free.
"I believed I was playing for something bigger than myself — I wanted to succeed in her name," he said. "Some of the biggest life lessons I learned from her."
Despite his success on the field and a solid academic record, Morales was not besieged by scholarship offers.
"I was kind of waiting for something to pop up," he said.
Morales was considering attending UC Davis or Cal State Northridge when Irvine Coach Mike Gillespie called and offered him an opportunity to walk on, with the possibility of receiving a scholarship.
"I think the truth is, he was always good and everybody missed on him, including us," Gillespie said.
Morales began the 2013 season in the bullpen but got a Sunday start because of an injury suffered by another pitcher. That was all the opportunity he needed.
He finished 10-0 with a 1.89 earned-run average.
"I think I made a statement," he said. "I wanted to prove that it wasn't a fluke at the junior college level."
Despite his success, the 6-foot Morales was not selected in Major League Baseball's 2013 amateur draft. When every team passed, Morales committed to a weight-training program that produced strength and velocity gains.
"I wanted to give all the scouts kind of a little wake-up call, saying, 'Hey, may have missed me this year but I'm not going to give you a chance to do that'" again. he said.
Morales was 19-0 as a Division I pitcher when Fullerton arrived at Anteater Ballpark on May 16.
He gave up five runs and six hits in the fourth inning and was pulled after five innings. Irvine lost the game, which started Fullerton and Vanderhook on their run to the playoffs.
Pro scouts had turned out en masse to see Morales and other prospects. His first loss in two seasons did nothing to sour evaluators on a player with four pitches, including a fastball clocked in the low 90s.
"He didn't back down, nor did he show up the competition or his teammates," said one scout, who requested anonymity because he is was not authorized to speak publicly about prospects. "It looked like he took it like a man and kept grinding. Those are all qualities that translate to professional baseball. "
Said Morales: "It takes a lot for me to be shaken off the tracks, and when I mean a lot you probably have to score 15 runs in an inning or knock me out in the first inning rather than the fifth."
Morales pitched well in his next start against Long Beach State, but the Anteaters lost, 3-2.
Now he will get the postseason opportunity he hoped for. His selection in the draft will follow.
"I believe if I do get the chance, I can do well," he said. "Hopefully, come June, we'll find out."

Zero Motorcycles Rolls Out New Website as 2013 Models Hit Dealerships
– Premium Website Experience Highlights the Advantages of Electric Motorcycles –
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., (Feb. 5, 2013) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced the launch of a brand new website as its 2013 lineup arrives in dealerships.

Among the new videos are the first ever taken of the new 2013 electric motorcycle lineup in action, and in case viewers would like to actually hear the unique sound of the motorcycles, the videos are available with or without music. In a separate 'customer video' gallery viewers can watch customers ride and speak about their personal experiences of owning their Zero. Some videos even feature models from as early as 2008. In addition, the site contains a wide variety of beautiful photography.
"Much like our new 2013 model line, Zero Motorcycles' new website offers consumers a high-end experience that serves up great content through a clean and minimalist design," said Chris Heimbuck, Director of Marketing for Zero Motorcycles.

The website includes newly released detailed specifications for each model, as well as an abundance of information on what it really means to ride an electric motorcycle. The aptly named "going electric" section of the site is derived from Zero's popular brochure that carries the same name. It presents the economics of ownership, advantages of electric and introduces the "four factors" that impact range.
For consumers ready to take the next step, the site encourages interested riders to schedule a demo or even request a price quote from their local dealer. Many of the first models hitting dealerships will be quickly snapped up or are already slated to go to those who have pre-ordered.

RIMINI, Italy, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Jamie Hampton and Varvara Lepchenko play their first Fed Cup matches this weekend, taking the U.S. singles spots against Italy.
With Fed Cup veterans Serena and Venus Williams -- together 22-2 in singles matches -- and with rising star Sloane Stephens not among nominated U.S. players for its first-round Fed Cup series, U.S. captain Mary Joe Fernandez turns to two women who have never before been in a Fed Cup competition.
Hampton is to open the best-of-five series Saturday against world No. 7 Sara Errani, with Lepchenko scheduled to follow against 16th-ranked Roberta Vinci. The schedule calls for reverse singles to open Sunday's play, with Errani facing Lepchenko and Vinci playing Hampton.
The final match has U.S. doubles specialist Liezel Huber teaming with Melanie Oudin against Italians Nastassja Burnett and Karin Knapp.
The United States owns 17 Fed Cup titles but hasn't won since 2000. Italy had three titles over the 2006-10 period, beating U.S. teams in the finals in both 2009 and '10.
The Italy-U.S. winner goes against either the Czech Republic, which has won the last two Fed Cup titles, or Australia in the tournament semifinals April 20-21.

CLEVELAND - The throbbing pain in Larry Hughes' left foot matched the ache in the pit of his stomach. The thought of missing another NBA playoff game was tough on Cleveland's point guard.
Hughes, mired in a shooting slump during the postseason, will likely sit out Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against Detroit after he tore the plantar fascia in his left foot during the Cavaliers' 88-82 win in Game 3.
Hughes, who didn't play in the fourth quarter Sunday night, described his chances of playing in Tuesday's game as "pretty slim" and "doubtful."
"It's a tear," Hughes said Monday. "It's not just sore. I haven't been faced with something this painful. I can hardly put any pressure on it."
The injury is personally difficult for Hughes, who missed four conference semifinal games against the Pistons in last year's playoffs following the death of his younger brother, Justin. He wanted to make this postseason memorable for other reasons.
"I think this is a series that we can win," he said, "so I definitely want to be a part of it."
The Cavaliers, who trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven series, listed Hughes as doubtful on their official medical update and diagnosed Hughes' injury as a strain of the left foot plantar fascia.
Hughes, though, said an MRI revealed a partial tear and that it should heal without surgery. He got hurt while planting for a layup, but said his foot has been bothering him for more than a month.
"There wasn't any contact or anything like that," he said. "I just probably turned the wrong way. It was hot, and I've never torn a muscle or anything like that before. So I knew when I did it that it wasn't a normal tweak. It was something pretty serious."
Hughes' career has been slowed by an assortment of injuries. Last season, his first with the Cavs, he missed 45 games with a finger injury and then missed Games 3, 4, 5 and 6 against the Pistons after Justin died.
Last week, Hughes missed a potential game-winning shot in the final seconds of Game 2, and his shooting touch has been off for weeks. Ironically, he injured his foot on a layup that made him 2-for-2 and gave the Cavs an early five-point lead in Game 3.
"I'm starting to think that May isn't my month," he said with a chuckle. "It's tough. I have to fight through it. I can't blame anybody, blame anything. I have to see the challenge and take it on.
"That's the only way I know how to do it."
If Hughes can't play, Cavs coach Mike Brown may slide Eric Snow back into his starting lineup. Snow didn't play in Game 3 and has been in for only 17 minutes in the series, scoring one point.
It's also possible Brown will start rookie Daniel Gibson. The second-round pick from Texas made several crucial plays at both ends of the floor in the fourth quarter of Sunday's victory and was the only Cleveland player other than LeBron James to stay in for the final 12 minutes.
James, who had 32 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Game 3, trusts Gibson and is confident he can fill in adequately for Hughes.
"Hopefully Larry is healthy enough to play, but if he's not, one thing is that we've played without him," James said. "We don't like to, but we have done it, so it's something that's not new to us."
Despite giving up several inches to Tayshaun Prince and more than a few pounds to Chauncey Billups, Gibson held his own while being assigned to cover two of Detroit's top three scorers.
The Pistons did all they could in their offense to exploit the size advantage, but whether he was down on the block with Prince or isolated on the wing against Billups, Gibson stood tall almost every time.
The confident 21-year-old also made two 3-pointers, blocked a shot and didn't commit a turnover in 29 minutes.
"We've thrown him on the floor in tight ballgames during the playoffs, and he's responded very well," Brown said. "The biggest thing is keeping his composure. But he's tough, he's quick, he'll stick his nose in, everybody knows he can shoot if you leave him open - it's good."
The Pistons feel the same way about Billups.
But Mr. Big Shot went only 4-of-14 from the field in Game 3 and had five turnovers, giving him 17 in the series.
"I've never been in (a rut) like this as far as turning the ball over," he said. "My shot? Look, shooters shoot, your shot is going to be on and off."
There was no panic as the Pistons practiced over at Cleveland State. Detroit, 18-0 in series it has led 2-0, lost three straight in last year's semis to the Cavs so they're aware how quickly things can turn.
But if Billups and Rip Hamilton (2-of-8) had only shot better, the Pistons feel they'd be up 3-0.
"We have two All-Stars that haven't been playing like All-Stars," said Billups, who isn't worried about he and his backcourt mate's funk. "Man, we've got Game 4 and we'll see what happens. I'm not concerned at all."
Injured Hughes may miss Game 4

Flight From Junk-Bond Funds Worsens With $2.38B Weekly Outflow
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
That rough patch for the high-yield bond market just got rougher, with Lipper just reporting a steep $2.38 billion net outflow from junk-bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in the week ended Wednesday. That's up from an already steep $1.67 billion outflow a week ago.
I've written at great, tedious length about how issues of overvaluation and lack of liquidity have made high yield susceptible to a pullback, and that's what's happening now. The Wall Street Journal's Chris Dieterich reports today that the options market is showing some particularly bearish sentiment about the largest high-yield ETF, the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (HYG), with the number of outstanding put options outnumbering call options by an eight-to-one ratio. He sees a similar trend for SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF (JNK). HYG closed Thursday up 17 cents at $94.20, and JNK finished up 1 cent at $41.29.
Yesterday high-yield guru Martin Fridson, chief investment officer at Lehmann Livian Fridson Advisors, wrote that the high-yield market has achieved a new record for overvaluation:
Extreme overvaluation has now persisted for the longest period on record. Overvaluation (whether extreme or non-extreme) has put together an unbroken streak of 25 months, nearly double the previous record. Contrary to the representations of those who hope to keep attracting capital to the asset class, the overvaluation is not isolated in the bottom tier of credits, leaving BBs and Bs as a comparatively safe haven.
For the ninth consecutive month, the high-yield market is extremely overvalued, according to our fair-value methodology. This streak breaks the previous record of eight, set in the period from October 2006 to May 2007.
There is an ominous ring to the notion that the current extremism is more persistent than in that period. The option-adjusted spread (OAS) on the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index ended May 2007 at 246 bps, fully 152 bps below the then-prevailing fair-value estimate of 398 bps. Over the next five months, the OAS more than doubled, to 575 bps. The index's total return over that span was -2.79%.

According to TMZ and this site, Mark Balelo, one of the rascally figures who makes A&E's Storage Wars so entertaining, killed himself by carbon monoxide poisoning on Sunday night.
TMZ reports that Balelo was arrested on Saturday for a drug-related offense:
We're told when Balelo got out of jail he was distraught, and asked his fiancée to come over because he was afraid he might hurt himself. We're told they met at his office on Sunday, they talked for a few hours, he took a 4 hour nap — and when he woke up seemed better. The fiancée left Balelo at the office Sunday evening. We're told one of Balelo's employees found his body Monday morning.
This is all happening just months after Dave "the Mogul" Hester's lawsuit against A&E, claiming the entire show is faked. At one time, Storage Wars was the most watched show on the channel (pre-Duck Dynasty), and one of the highest watched shows on television, and Balelo was working on a reality show of his own, according to his Facebook page. Who knows if this is all connected, but it's weird timing and a sad story. RIP.

Signs of a Coming Fall?
Steve Smith
An interesting chart posted on StockTwits by Chris Kimble made the rounds this weekend. It shows that over past decade, many of the major market turns, including the two cyclical bear market bottoms, commenced within 10 days of the of the autumnal and vernal equinox.
As we know, fall began this past weekend. Kimble also points out that Thursday's thrust higher followed by Friday's sell-off leaves a big bearish wick on a candle chart. He also notes that last week saw the largest inflows into equities funds so far this year.
Oh, and just to throw an extra dash of tenuous cyclicality into the pot, this past weekend was a harvest moon. I'm typically not big on seasonal trading patterns, but the visual on this chart is fairly arresting and something to keep in mind as we head into the typically volatile October period.

Portfolio Review and Mental Updates
Brandon Perry
If you recall my current positioning, you know I drastically reduced my long exposure from 92.5% long down to 47.5% long mid-to-late last week. Having this much cash on hand always makes me nervous, anxious and I feel like I want to deploy it back into the markets rather quickly. The banks were lagging which was our major tell with regards to the market not holding this breakout (first mentioned on 9/12). The markets ran and the banks got rejected by the 50 day moving average from above. The banks in combination with the Island Reversal exhaustion (mentioned on 9/16) and full measured move right into heavy overbought conditions, seasonality and historical analogs (Deep dive on 9/19), led us to think that this market got ahead of itself. I always find it important to review "what was" to look for clues of "what will be". So what now?
Per my style, I wait. We are burning off the overbought conditions nicely as we have taken NYMO down from +85 down to +33. From Friday when I posted this (What if?), it is clear that option 1 is off the table as we didn't flag to move higher. Option 2 and three are still very possible, with option 2 more likely at this stage. The gap around 169 should remain a magnet and should at least get visited, if not filled. I will likely take a shot at deploying the cash into US Large cap indexes again around that gap, most likely in two separate buys. Should we break down further, a close below the 50 day moving average would cause me to lighten up further.
It is still worth noting that the Small Cap Growth (NYSEARCA:IWO) and Brazil (NYSEARCA:EWZ) ETFs continue to show strength versus the rest of the fray. These need to be watched very closely. If they can continue to hold higher while the large caps fill the gap, we are likely setting up for another leg higher and simply putting in the "higher low." Should that happen, I will go back to 90%+ long with a beta over 1.0 with trend rules back in place. It is worth noting that while we are not technically in a "trend rules" market, we aren't exactly in a "trading rules" market either. It really is an odd situation here.

ES Update
Marc Eckelberry
ES (S&P mini futures) opened Sunday night by tagging the weekly pivot at 1706.25, and staying weak for the most part after that. Today's pit session open immediately sold right under 1703.75, the prior all time high. The pre-FOMC announcement VAH was 1698.50, which ES has now lost. Downside risk is the NVPOC at 1680.50, should we lose weekly S1 at 1685.50. Anything below that is real trouble.
Goldman (NYSE:GS) was down 2% at the open, giving some clues as to this weakness. Interestingly enough, the NQ (NASDAQ-100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) futures) spike on the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone sales news barely moved the needle for everyone else. Bulls get control back above ES 1703.75.
Equities correcting from excess speculation (highest margin debt since 2007) and bonds moving up could be the perfect scenario for Bernanke.

Déjà Vu All Over Again
Duncan Parker
The "Doom-du-jour" front in the minds of traders and investors everywhere is anything other than unfamiliar. We've been through the Debt Ceiling/Fiscal Cliff rodeo once or twice before these last few years. The showdown this time around could see the same sort of drama that sparked the 20% sell off in 2011. Thus far, the analog of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) (based upon the DIA ETF) from the 2011 peak against current price action is stacking up a little too well in my opinion.
There's no reason to have conviction enough to trade the current action based on what we saw two years ago, but with the sneaking suspicion that a bullish ramp could encounter resistance via a miniature double top around the area of the post Fed announcement last Wednesday, it's worth noting a bull trap is possible. Should you like to monitor how this formation plays out real time (and play with the analog), you can do so here.
Good luck out there!

mREITs Hanging in Alongside Agency Rampage
Michael Sedacca
mREITs have been seeing positive performance the last two days on the positive performance in rates. Last Friday, they all lowered their quarterly dividends rather significantly. Thus far, they have not repriced to a much lower dividend yield, which is representative of one of these possibilities:
- Investors are OK accepting a lower yield as the trusts have delevered their balance sheets.
- The market is betting that these trusts will be able to raise their dividend in the coming quarter(s).
Am I annoyed that I missed out on potential profits by selling early? Most definitely. Am I angry for selling last Friday? Nope. Your first sale is always your best sale and my thesis had shown some weakness, so I cut bait. Full disclosure: I did reallocate that capital into another, more conservative mortgage fund, and some into munis. The muni investment is purely from an income basis, not capital appreciation (though it would be nice).
Further on the mortgage space, the color I've received from the mortgage market over the last two days would be typified as a buying rampage. Literally, I was told that dealers are having a hard time sourcing inventory FOR SALE. That makes me nervous and happy. When 1-800-GET-ME-IN is lit up like that, you have to pick up the phone and sell some. I'm happy because those who "sold first and asked questions later" earlier this summer are recommitting capital.
Either way, the lower coupon (3.5-4 for 30yr), seasoned MBS remains the best place I can come up with in terms of a defensive play on rates, and it could even bear fruit in a rate rally. You're essentially hiding out in a zero credit risk instrument with reduced extension risk and earning some income. Not the sexiest of trades, but it beats losing. Prepay speeds have essentially gone to nothing and paydowns are dropping like a rock.
So with investor uncertainty in committing long-term capital in the current environment, the reinvestment actually works out in your favor as hopefully the policy uncertainty goes away a year from now and there will be more clarity for other credit investments.
Understanding the Dynamic in Congress
David Miller
Yesterday afternoon, CNBC debuted poll results I found fascinating. It highlighted how nobody but those voters who self-identify with the Tea Party want to hold the debt ceiling hostage to defunding the PPACA (aka 'Obamacare'). Other data from the same poll suggest only 36% of self-identified Republicans who despise the Tea Party want to defund the PPACA. That's slightly less than "all adults", which comes in at 38%.
There is a three-party system in Congress at the moment -- Democrats, Republicans, and the Tea Party. Speaker Boehner has put together a majority coalition in the House between the GOP and the Tea Party. He's allowing the minority party in that coalition (the Tea Party) to dictate policy for the coalition on this issue.
Most Wall Street types would amend that to, "dictate policy for the coalition for now." I'm not sure I agree. Examining the Tea Party as a separate entity, I don't see much room inside their platform and ideology for compromise. They hate government and seeing it shut down would be considered a success for them. Since the GOP allows Tea Party candidates to run under the GOP banner, mainstream GOP leaders are terrified of the Tea Party minority -- largely based on the threat of primary challenges.
It may be Speaker Boehner and his fellow Republicans decide to break with their minority coalition partner, but I don't think that break will come quickly. And certainly not quickly enough for the debt ceiling vote, which is where the risk to the equity markets comes in.

Waiting to Exhale
Todd Harrison
I'm sitting in the Delta terminal awaiting my flight to Chicago--a quick meeting, dinner and a 630AM flight home tomorrow--so please excuse the brevity of this post and my absence today.
Since tagging an all-time high on the heels of the decision not to taper last week, the tape has been lower four consecutive sessions. It's been about as shallow a pullback as one could see, all things considered, but four days is four days, and the bulls are hoping it ends there. Performance anxiety is good and thick, we know, which lends itself to a "buyers are higher and sellers are lower" mindset.
The banks have been the best tell of late, in part due to their (highest) weighting in the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) and in part a function of their encapsulation of macro influences (rates, smoke, yield). They remain on our radar, particularly in and around KBW Bank Index (INDEXDJX:BKX) 62, which is the August low (the 200-day is down near 59).
S&P 1729, 1709, 1700 and 1665 remain levels of lore through a broader lens, for those who are looking to stair-step risk.
The looming unknown continues to be nestled along the political front, which will overhand the tape for the remainder of the week. The market has climbed a wall of worry all year -- four years actually -- so keep that in the back of your crowded keppe, as it will work until it doesn't (which is why we must manage risk rather than chase reward).
Good luck today, and think positive. Profitability begins within.
Garden Variety Pullback?
Michael Comeau
Lots of folks are fretting about the fact that we finished down four days in a row, and may be making it five today.
However, remember that before the slide, the S&P 500 was up 11 out of 12 days, which saw us hit an all-time high of 1729.44 on 9/18.
I took a look at recent four+ day slides, and if this short history is any indication, the bulls should be just about ready to make a stand.
1) 8/14/2013 - 8/19/2013 (4 days)
We were higher three out of the next four days, including 8/20.
2) 12/21/2012 - 12/28/2012 (5 days)
The market was up 4.3% in the next two days, down the third day, and up again the fourth day.
3) 10/5/2012 - 10/10/2012 (4 days)
The market was up four out of the next five days.
4) 9/20/2012 - 9/26/2012 (5 days)
The market was up five out of the next six days.
5) 7/30/2012 - 8/2/2012 (4 days)
The market went up six days in a row.
6) 7/20/2012 - 7/25/2012 (4 days)
The market rose two days in a row afterwards.
7) 7/5/2012 - 7/12/2012 (6 days)
The market then rose four out of the next five days.
8) 5/11/2012 - 5/18/2012 (6 days)
The market went up four days in a row.
Why Now May Be a Good Time to Lock in Your Natural
Elliott Wave International
To borrow a line from The Game of Thrones, "Winter is Coming" -- but there may also be another reason to ask your natural gas provider if they have a low fixed rate.
Below there's a chart of the NYMEX natural gas November contract. Here's its Elliott Wave message: Nat gas is ready to surge higher.
The wave pattern since early September has the look of an expanded flat correction, an a-b-c move where wave b retraces more than 100% of wave a. It's an important pattern to recognize. In this case, the wave b rally made it look like price was breaking out to the upside -- when, in fact, it was about to roll over to a new low for the move in wave c.
That wave c looks almost complete -- and with it, the one-larger-degree wave (ii). From here, nat gas should rally. Trade above 3.694 (3.617 from a continuation perspective -- i.e., basis the expiring October contract) would strengthen the case.
If my big-picture count is on target, the market doesn't have any business trading below the 3.281 early August low.

Blending DM Interest Rate and EM Credit Risk: Foreign Currency Deposits in Emerging Markets
Debashish Bose
Please see this article on the mechanics of foreign currency retail deposits being raised by global banks into India (the FCNR-B accounts).
The risk involved is here is that the initial customer deposit is levered multiple times to open several deposits -- a practice reminiscent of the equity line of credit on housing during the go-go days.
I presume similar lending practices would likely be happening in various emerging markets given the currency re-calibrations in many countries.
The bulge bracket banks are in effect multiplying the interest rate risk already embedded in their lending books (courtesy of the bulk of credit growth in developed markets being directed to adding low coupon bonds on the balance sheets post 2008).
To this they are adding the credit risk embedded in EMs courtesy of the dovish monetary policies and yield chase of the past few years.
In my opinion, real yields in the UST market (or a credit event in EMs) remain a key tell and HSBC, given its geographically distributed book, is the key stock to play this interest rate/credit risk double play on the downside (if and when...).
Beta Chasers
Todd Harrison
As the market searches for it's next leg, there has been plenty of movement in individual names. BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) and JC Penny (NYSE:JCP) stand out on the downside, while Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and LinkedIn (NASDAQ:LNKD) -- which is trying to break out through $260 -- trade like they could do no wrong.
While the tape has climbed a wall of worry for some time, it remains to be seen if it can lift into the weekend with a government shutdown looming. The bulls will argue that it's a matter of time before we see a "Syria-type" ramp upon resolution but the timing of said resolution is unknown.
What we know is that performance anxiety is particularly ripe; the lesser-known story is the recent rise in the discount rate has lowered pension fund liabilities, bringing them closer to being funded (reducing equity risk appetites on the aggregate). Maybe that matters, maybe it doesn't -- greed and fear are the drivers -- but we strive to see all sides, and now we do.
One step at a time as we continue to find our way.
SPY Value Lines: Unimpressive
Phil Erlanger
Today's action is simply unimpressive. Why? Gap open that moved above resistance and failed by 11:00 a.m. EDT. We have moved below pivot and are back above it, for now. The one apparent thing: sellers are in control this week.

BlackBerry Results
Michael Comeau
As an update to my last BlackBerry post -- Jefferies analyst Peter Misek is out saying that while Fairfax Financial's bid for the company is legit and likely to go through, Fairfax could be short up to $1 billion in financing, and a lowering of the $9/share bid is on the table.
The market is reflecting a great deal of uncertainty regarding this deal, as the stock is trading at about 10% below the offer price.
I like to say that merger arbitrage is a game best played levered to the hilt with other people's money, but I went long the December 8/9/10 butterfly spread on BlackBerry for $0.25, which pays off if the deal goes through.
Fairfax has until November 4 to perform due diligence, so I assume we'll know by December whether the transaction happens.
Downside risk is 100% of the price of the butterfly ($0.25) should Fairfax pull out, while theoretical max value of the spread is $1. Now I don't have total confidence that this deal gets done -- but I view the risk-reward as balanced enough to speculate on it.
If you're not familiar with butterflies, The structure for this spread for each lot is as follows:
-long 1 $8 call
-short 2 $9 calls
-long 1 $10 call
If you'll notice, this trade is comprised of a combination of a bull call spread (long $8 call and short $9 call) and a bear call spread (short $9 call and long $10 call)
The theoretical maximum value of the spread is $1 (the distance between the strikes) as at $9 at expiration, the $8 call would be worth $1, and the $9 and $10 calls would be worth zero.
Now normally, butterflies only profit very close to expiration when the premiums of the higher strikes get crushed.
But in this case -- a firm indication that the deal gets done at $9 should kill the value of the $9 and $10 options because of the removal of uncertainty, while the $8 call will be still worth around $1, giving a 3:1 return if the deal happens.
Disclosure: Minyanville Studios, a division of Minyanville Media, has a business relationship with BlackBerry.

I was asked to update my observations from earlier this week on funky T-bill rates and US CDS. The US CDS curve has resteepened and is not reflecting a high risk of imminent problem like it was earlier this week. The 1yr CDS is still elevated at 30bps from its more recent 10bps, but that is down from 60bps+. Past that, the curve has held its normal steepness. Inverted CDS curves means that there is a high risk of default in the very near future.
For T-bills, the student body has moved to the other side of the boat... again! This morning the 6-mo bill due 12/05 traded at a negative rate (bills pay no coupon so price at a discount to par, ie the discount rate). The +4.5-6bps range we saw for near expiry bills has now declined to +1-2.5bps, which is getting a lot closer to normal. Bills out past that into 2014 are still stuck at 0, though.
There is also the effect from the Fed's Fixed Rate Reverse Repo Facility (the Death Star), which is driving down bill rates. Liquidity is tightening because cash is being pulled out in exchange for collateral, albeit small amounts. It's also pushing down LIBOR rates, which doesn't make sense in retrospect because it reduces the supply of cash in the system.
Anyway, the conclusion is that the interest rate market is not pricing in a large chance that we see a serious risk to a technical default at the current moment with a technical default being where maturities on T-bills or notes is delayed, missed, or the like.

1 Great Jones Alley, 9 - NoHo, New York
A collection of 16 artfully crafted two- to four-bedroom residences, designed by renowned architecture firm BKSK, 1 Great Jones Alley takes its visual cues from elements that have for a century distinguished this iconic neighborhood: a terracotta façade, a cobblestone alley, Corten steel walls with an elegant patina, and a secret garden oasis. One of the city's few remaining alleyways provides a discreet and exclusive entrance to the building. Inside, exquisite detailing creates a harmony of alluring spaces, from a 24-hour attend lobby that hosts rotating local art exhibitions from famed curator Eric Firestone, to a true thermal spa, reminiscent of New York's famous Russian Bathhouses.

SSA Clients By Census Tract By Program And By Adult Child -2014data.acgov.org | Last Updated 2015-02-27T20:00:35.000Z
This file shows the number of children and adults who received assistance from Alameda Social Services Agency from a variety of social welfare programs at any time in 2014, by Census tract. The following programs are included: CalWORKs provides monthly cash assistance to very low income families with children. Immediate Need provides cash assistance to families in the process of applying for CalWORKs, who have an emergency immediate need for cash assistance usually because they are homeless and awaiting approval for CalWORKs. CalFresh provides benefits on a plastic card that can be swiped at stores to pay for food only. Medi-Cal provides no cost or very low-cost health insurance to low income individuals and families. General Assistance provides cash assistance to very low-income adults without children. General Assistance clients who are considered employable are limited to 3 months of aid, while those considered unemployable have no time limit. Foster Care provides cash assistance to families and group homes for children whom the court has determined need a safe place to live when their parents or other relatives cannot take care of them. KinGAP provides cash assistance to relatives who take legal guardianship of former foster youth. Adoption Assistance provides cash assistance to families who adopt former foster youth. Refugee Cash Assistance provides short term monthly cash assistance to very low income to refugee families. One caveat is that individuals may receive assistance from programs through other counties or agencies other than Alameda Social Services Agency, and they would not be counted in these figures. For example, persons may receive Medi-Cal coverage by virtue of being SSI recipients, with eligibility determined by the Social Security Administration, rather than Alameda Social Services Agency. In addition, children may receive Foster Care, KinGAP, or Adoption Assistance from the county where they originally resided, rather than Alameda Social Services, and these youth would also not be counted in these figures.
Point In Time Homeless Survey Datadata.sonomacounty.ca.gov | Last Updated 2019-07-12T18:26:35.000Z
The County of Sonoma conducts an annual homeless count for the entire county. The survey data is derived from a sample of about 600 homeless persons countywide per year. The resulting information is statistically reliable only for the county as a whole, not for individual locations. The exception is the City of Santa Rosa, where the sample taken within the city is large enough to be predictive of the overall homeless population in that city.

Immigration authorities arrested a Lancaster man after the search of a Lynwood Drive home Tuesday, Oct. 23.
Agents with the S.C. Department of Public Safety's Immigration Enforcement Unit arrested Prudencio Sorcia Cervantes, 36, 1528 Lynwood Drive, on the charge of sale of fraudulent identification documents, said SCDPS spokeswoman Sherri Iacobelli.
The Department of Public Safety oversees several criminal justice agencies including S.C. Highway Patrol.
Running up the middle of the county and encompassing Kershaw, Heath Springs and most of Lancaster, S.C. House District 44 is among the largest political districts in Lancaster County.
The battle for retiring seven-term Rep. Jimmy Neal's (D) seat is also among the most hotly contested state-level races in this year's general election.
Two motorists, one a Lancaster Police Department officer, are recovering from injuries after their vehicles collided in a city intersection Thursday afternoon, Oct. 11.
Emergency responders swarmed the scene at the intersection of North Wylie and West Barr streets just after 3 p.m., where a gold Chrysler Town & Country minivan and black Lancaster Police Department patrol car crashed into each other only minutes earlier.

Keith Wilson is the only high school teacher in the county who shows his students the finer points for breaking into someone's house.
Wilson readily admits that forcible entry is a bad thing in most law enforcement circles.
But James Rowell, Adam Medlin and Preston Davis have no intention of using those skills for a life of crime or an unwanted midnight encounter with Davis' dad, Lancaster Police Dept. Lt. Duane Davis.
The city of Lancaster's push to save paper and plastics from the landfills has caught on throughout the county.
Marty Cauthen, the city's solid waste director, spoke at City Council's meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9, about six schools asking if the city can provide them with recycling containers and pick-up service.
The schools are Andrew Jackson Middle, Andrew Jackson High, Clinton Elementary, Heath Springs Elementary, Indian Land High and McDonald Green Elementary.
PAGELAND – Two Lancaster residents caused a lot of disruption in Pageland over the weekend of Sept. 29 and have now been charged for it.
Chastity Marie Leach, 26, 2076 Old Camden Monroe Highway and Johnny Ray Pyatt, 35, 2345 Doc Holliday Circle, were arrested for 19 various counts, including shoplifting, property damage and motor vehicle theft over the span of three days (Sept. 29 to Oct. 1).
The Lancaster County Farmers Market held its annual Public Services Honors Festival on Saturday, Oct. 6. The event was designed both to educate young people on local agriculture and locally grown produce while paying tribute to service agencies in the county.
This was the second year of the festival. Event organizer Robert Steele, chairman of the Lancaster County Farmers Commission, said he was pleased with this year's response.
Lancaster County Council members shot down a rezoning request by an Indian Land nonprofit that would have allowed it to build a no-kill animal shelter.
The action came during a meeting in which council members also approved a fee-in-lieu-of-taxes deal for a company looking to settle elsewhere in Lancaster County.
Three of the seven seats on Lancaster City Council are up for election this year.
Incumbent Linda Blackmon-Brace and Jackie Harris are vying for District 3. Jean Cureton and incumbent Tamara Green Garris are looking to best the other candidate for the District 4 seat, while Sara Eddins is unopposed as she seeks re-election to District 6.
City Council members, who serve four-year terms, don't run along party lines.

There is a very private side of HOPE in Lancaster that few get to see.
It usually happens just after 11:30 a.m. each weekday when the front doors get locked and volunteers have a chance to collect their thoughts, said HOPE in Lancaster Executive Director Elaine Adkins.
When those doors are closed and no one is around, Adkins said the tears inevitably flow.
A faith-based, nonprofit volunteer-driven organization, HOPE in Lancaster is known for providing short-term emergency assistance for those in crisis.
