(Bloomberg) -- Pacific Investment Management Co. is wagering at least $10 billion in the credit-default swaps market that U.S. corporate bonds will gain as the Federal Reserve extends unprecedented stimulus into 2014, according to traders and investors.
The manager of the world's biggest bond fund amassed the positions by creating swaps tied to the Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Index, which contains 125 companies from Ford Motor Co. to Staples Inc., according to five people at hedge funds and banks who asked not to be identified because they aren't authorized to discuss the trades. Investment firms and other non-dealers held a total of $39 billion in net wagers in the index as of last week, industry data show.
Pimco is using derivatives that are quicker, easier and cheaper to trade than the bonds they're tied to after redemptions and losses shrunk its $248 billion Total Return Fund by 15 percent in six months, ending its five-year reign as the world's biggest mutual fund. Swaps allow investors to wager on the health of U.S. companies even as dealer debt inventories shrink and a potential Fed bond-buying pullback prompts investors to withdraw cash from bonds paying record-low yields.
Perfect Way'
"That's a perfect way to play it," Jeffrey Sherman, a money manager who helps oversee $53 billion at DoubleLine Capital LP in Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview. "There's much more liquidity in the synthetic market. It's also a levered play, so you don't have to put up as much capital to do the trade."
In the credit-default swaps trades, Pimco receives annual premiums in return for agreeing to pay the buyer of protection an amount covering losses should one of the companies in the index fail to meet its debt obligations.
Non-dealers had a net outstanding bet on the health of U.S. investment-grade corporate credit of $39 billion through Nov. 1, the most this year and up from $31.4 billion four weeks earlier, according to data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp.
Mark Porterfield, a spokesman for Newport Beach, California-based Pimco, declined to comment on the fund's positions.
Growing Share
While the swaps trades give Pimco a growing share of all outstanding wagers in the Markit CDX index, it hasn't amassed positions rivaling those taken in an older version of the benchmark two years ago by JPMorgan Chase & Co. that saddled the biggest U.S. bank with a $6.2 billion loss.
Those bets by trader Bruno Iksil, who became known as the London Whale, accounted for 50 percent of all outstanding trades in the less-active index series, making it easier for counterparts and rivals to push prices against the bank when losses started to mount and it sought to exit.
Pimco's bet, which three of the people said may be as much as $30 billion, is in the current index, which has a gross $311.3 billion notional outstanding, DTCC data show, giving Pimco room for a relatively smoother departure.
"It's a way for them to collect premium quickly and efficiently," said David Schawel, a money manager at Square 1 Bank in Durham, North Carolina, which specializes in financial services to entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. "They're so big they need to make bets synthetically, and longer-than- expected easy Fed policy is where spreads would grind tighter and they'd collect that premium."
Citigroup Bonds
Elsewhere in credit markets, Citigroup Inc. raised $1.3 billion with fixed- and floating-rate three-year bonds. The market for commercial paper in the U.S. shrank from an eight- month high. Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. lowered the rate on a $4.95 billion loan it's seeking to refinance debt.
A gauge of the health of U.S. financial conditions fell from a record high. The Bloomberg U.S. Financial Conditions Index, which combines everything from money-market rates to yields on government and corporate bonds to volatility in equities, decreased 0.97 to 1.63. The gauge ended Nov. 6 at 1.72, the highest level in data stretching back to January 1994.
The cost of protecting corporate debt from default in the U.S. rose. The Markit CDX index, which investors use to hedge against losses or to speculate on creditworthiness, added 1.2 basis points to a mid-price of 73.9 basis points, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.
The Markit iTraxx Europe Index of 125 companies with investment-grade ratings increased one basis point to 83 basis points at 10:25 a.m. in London. In Asia, the Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan climbed by one to 138.
Bondholder Protection
The indexes typically rise as investor confidence deteriorates and fall as it improves. Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
Bonds of New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. were the most actively traded dollar-denominated corporate securities by dealers, accounting for 3.4 percent of the volume of dealer trades of $1 million or more, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Citigroup, the third-biggest U.S. bank by assets, sold $800 million in 1.3 percent, senior unsecured notes that yield 80 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries and $500 million in floating-rate securities that yield 68 basis points more than the three-month London interbank offered rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Commercial Paper
The seasonally adjusted amount of U.S. commercial paper declined $11.2 billion to $1.07 trillion in the week ended Nov. 6, the Federal Reserve said yesterday on its website. The decrease was the first since the period ended Oct. 16 for the market, which ended last week at the highest level since Feb. 13.
Corporations sell commercial paper, typically maturing in 270 days or less, to fund everyday activities such as payroll and rent.
The Standard & Poor's/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index rose for a fifth day, climbing 0.06 cent to 98.24 cents on the dollar. That's the highest level since Aug. 2 for the measure, which tracks the 100 largest dollar-denominated first-lien leveraged loans.
Leveraged loans and high-yield bonds are rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service and lower than BBB- at S&P.
Fortescue Loans
Fortescue, Australia's third-biggest iron ore exporter, will pay interest at 3.25 percentage points more than Libor, with a 1 percent floor on the lending benchmark, compared with 3.75 percentage points originally proposed, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction, who asked not to be identified because terms weren't set.
In emerging markets, relative yields widened 4 basis points to 345 basis points, or 3.45 percentage points, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBI Global index. The measure has averaged 313.9 this year.
Pimco has amassed similar trades in the credit-swaps index in recent years. The money manager sold $10.7 billion of credit protection on the Markit CDX in the second quarter of 2011, increasing its total positions in the index contracts to $11.8 billion, according to an August 2011 regulatory filing.
The face value of swaps the fund sold on indexes for high- yield, emerging-market and investment-grade debt rose to $21.6 billion at mid-2011 from $5.6 billion in June 2010.
Pimco had bought $11.9 billion of protection through U.S. high-grade and high-yield swap indexes and 2.9 billion euros ($3.89 billion) in indexes in Europe at the end of last year, fund disclosures show.
Iksil's Bet
Pimco had also sold $2.5 billion of protection on emerging market credit-swaps indexes as of Sept. 30, and $578.8 million on the ninth series of the investment-grade swap index created in 2007, the same one in which JPMorgan's Iksil had built a position so large that it distorted price relationships in the market.
Iksil sold contracts guaranteeing more than $80 billion of debt tied to that index, or about 50 percent of the total outstanding contracts in the series, making it difficult to find buyers, according to a 301-page report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released in March.
Bond investors started pulling cash from U.S. bond funds in May after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said that sustainable labor-market progress could prompt the central bank to reduce $85 billion of monthly bond purchases that have bolstered credit markets, prompting concerns that a three-decade rally in bonds was poised to end.
The stimulus measures helped push the average yield on investment-grade corporate bonds in the U.S. to a record-low 2.65 percent in May, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Index. They've since climbed to 3.27 percent.
Net Redemptions
U.S. bond mutual funds saw net redemptions of $117 billion in the four months through September, while stock funds received $35 billion, according to the Investment Company Institute in Washington.
Pimco's Total Return Fund is on track for its worst redemptions ever in 2013, losing $4.4 billion in October and $33.2 billion for the year, according to Morningstar Inc. It has shrunk by $45 billion since May.
At the same time, corporate-bond trading has thinned and dealer inventories have plunged as market makers pull back on risk-taking. After cutting a broad measure of corporate and some asset-backed debt from a peak of $235 billion in October 2007, the 21 primary dealers that trade with the central bank pared investment-grade holdings to a net $11.7 billion as of Oct. 23, Fed data show. That's down from $13.5 billion at the end of May.
Jobs Revival
An average of $12.4 billion of dollar-denominated investment-grade bonds of all coupons, ratings and maturities traded every day over the past year, according to Finra's Trace system. That compares with $15.7 billion of default protection that was bought and sold on the Markit CDX swaps index last week, DTCC data show.
Concern that job-market conditions weren't improving stayed the Fed's hand in September, pushing out changes to the policy to March, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists conducted Oct. 17-18.
The benchmark swaps index rallied, reaching as low as 70 basis points on Oct. 22, adjusted for shifts to new series, Bloomberg prices show. That means a contract covering $1 billion of corporate debt sold the day before the Fed's Sept. 18 announcement would have rallied 13 basis points through that day, translating to a profit of $1.3 million.
Pimco Total Return lost 3.1 percent this year through Nov. 6 with dividends, more than the 1.5 percent decline for its benchmark, according to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Total Return Value Index.
Treasuries Recommendation
Gross has recommended investors purchase shorter-term Treasuries as the Fed weighs tapering quantitative easing and the market underestimates how long it will then take the central bank to begin raising interest rates.
The swaps index has a five-year maturity, compared with an effective maturity of 5.15 years in the Total Return Fund as of Sept. 30, according to Pimco's website. More than a third of the fund's holdings mature between 5 and 20 years.
U.S. credit accounted for 9 percent of the Total Return Fund holdings as of Sept. 30, data on Pimco's website show. The fund had $1.8 billion of call options tied to the prior series of the swaps index.
"It's not unusual for the fund to use swaps like this," Eric Jacobson, a senior fund analyst at Morningstar, said in a telephone interview. "They use it in both directions, on the way up to get exposure when you've got so much cash to put to work you can't put it to work right away, and at same time as a defensive posture when you're concerned you could have more redemptions, to be able to act quickly."

I predicted that by the end of the first week of January...there would be little discussion about guns and gun control in the US once the 24/7 news machine had tired of the story.
Most of the country has moved on and left Sandyhook behind.
Just have to figure out what to do about the building.
Biden has, however, started the sterile consultation process with Walmart and the NRA at the table. Walmart (country's largest gun seller) apparently wasn't going to show but were somehow 'persuaded'.
Cuomo though, seems ready to take on the mantle of leadership on the issue:
Jon Stewart certainly delivered a solid punch on the subject...right down to having his guest Stanley McChrystal...the man with the plan for Afghanistan comment on the need to restrict the presence of assault weapons.
http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/01/09/the-d...ontrol-debate/The Comedy Central host slammed right-wing conservatives for blaming "non-gun causes of gun violence" after recent shootings; he showed clips of pro-gun pundits blaming video games, Hollywood and even personal sin instead of discussing ways to address gun violence directly.
He compared the gun control issue to drunk driving, pointing out the decline of these deadly vehicular incidents and arguing that the same change can be made to the gun culture through tighter and better enforcement of laws.

Looks like not even Batman could solve this problem. Earlier Wednesday afternoon, Warner Bros. has sent out an official cancellation of the Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Collector's Edition, which was set to feature a collectible Batmobile, accross all retailers.
Dear Batman: Arkham Fans,
We regret to inform you that we are not able to release the Batmobile Collector's Edition of Batman: Arkham Knight due to unforeseen circumstances that greatly compromised the quality of this extremely limited run of product. We are deeply apologetic for this unfortunate outcome. If you did pre-order the Batmobile Collector's Edition, please go to the retail location where you pre-ordered the product and you will receive a full refund of your deposit or it can be rolled over to another Batman: Arkham Knight edition or another product of your choice. We will be providing everyone who purchases Batman: Arkham Knight with the New 52 skin pack, including Batman, Robin and Nightwing, free of charge.
With Batman: Arkham Knight delayed twice before its release next week, June 23rd, there are no details provided as to why this edition of the game has suddenly become unavailable. There are still other versions of the game, which include the Limited Edition priced at $99.99 and the Standard Edition priced at $59.99 and will still come with the New 52 skin pack, regardless of which version you buy. However, for many retailers, it is too late for customers who have pre-ordered the Batmobile edition to roll over to the Limited Edition as this version is already extremely limited.
According to GameStop Store Employee Website "GSO":
Unfortunately, due to extremely limited availability, there are no additional units available to roll reservations over from the Batmobile Collector's Edition to the Limited Edition for Batman: Arkham Knight.
It goes on to encourage GameStop Game Advisors to share with customers the information dictated above as well as encourage them to purchase the standard edition as it does come with the free skin pack. This will be downloaded into the system the first time customers insert the disc, no codes needed. Did you get your reservation cancelled? Does this change your view of the pre-ordering system? Are you still excited for the game? Let me know in the comments below and as always, thank you for contributing to the conversation!
When Erik Gerolaga is not busy interacting with the gaming community, he enjoys playing the piano and getting lost in the music it makes. Follow @splitmindeddude on Twitter or follow his obsession with games, tech and food on his Instagram, which also happens to be @splitmindeddude. Go figure.

Sea Urchin, Red (Uni) – Canada
Red Sea Urchins, members of the phylum Echinodermata ("spiny skin"), are found along the North American Pacific coastline from Alaska to Cedros Island, in Baja California, Mexico. They can live for 50 to over 100 years, but they reproduce at a young age and release millions of eggs at a time.
Along the coasts of northwest Canada, Red Sea Urchins are moderately abundant They are hand-caught by divers, so bycatch is minimal with no damage to the habitat.
Sea Urchins graze on Kelp (a type of seaweed) and are eaten by many animals like Sea Otters, and therefore are an important link in the marine ecosystem.

What Buckeyes Really Use the Library For
Now, Orson had mentioned something about this yesterday but oh-so-rightfully felt that we here at the MZone also just might be interested in a story about, as he says, "the most embarrassing bit of fanwear on public display since the alleged pedophile priest wearing a Notre Dame hat trotted out of a courtroom wearing an Irish cap."
The video is a news segment from WKYC, a television station in Ohio. It's one of those "undercover" investigative stories every news station does for sweeps month. This one deals with the dangers of going to public libraries in Ohio.
Watch it all the way through. We promise you won't be disappointed...unless you're a Tosu fan. Pay particular attention to the "gentleman" in the red Ohio State sweatshirt starting at about the 1:40 mark of the piece and "coming" back throughout the rest of the story, the capper being outside his parents's house at the end.
As Orson points out, this story has it all: "Assaulting reporters. Mustaches. Masturbating in public libraries. Living with parents." And might we add: your typical Buckeye fan.
So, sit back, relax and CLICK HERE to watch on the station link.
Again, Orson, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of our maize and blue hearts for this one.
UPDATE 6/1/06: There is a new video of the story up on YouTube. As such, here it is...

why does this guy bother to go all the way to the Library, errr Libary for UM fans, to get off when everyone knows it's perfectly acceptable to just do it on the front porch of some random chick in the neighborhood????
- May 25, 2006 4:22 AM
Your son gets caught masturbating in the library, so you:
A. Out of shame, refuse comment and go back in the house.
B. Express shock and disappointment.
C. Rip the mic out of the reporter's hand, verbally assault and then physically threaten him while pointing out your combat veteran status.
Just imagine if his son was arrested. He probably would have drove into the front of the police station, pulled out a machine gun and shot the place up Terminator-style.

rofl, check out the Jimmy Clausen "successories" poster over at "Hey Jenny Slater." Priceless.

Wow, how brilliant, an OSU poster responded with a Larry Harrison reference. Nice to see the creative juices flowing.

That'll teach the Buck fans to ask for "reality" rather than photoshop.
- May 25, 2006 9:15 AM
Clearly the "ohio state" on his allegedly "red" sweatshirt was photoshopped. Man that guys mustache was even fake or not real. You guys can't find anything original so you have to resort to making up stuff...and stuff. There aren't even any libraries in that part of Ohio so the jokes on you. HA. Nice try guys!

EDSBS finally got it up as a YouTube that is easier to view. That has to be one of the funniest clips I've ever seen. I wonder how much he paid for that awesome Ohio State sweatshirt. The advertising for tOSU is simply priceless.

It was Akron!! I consider it part of Pennsylvania. So ha!!! There are some sick fucks out there. Watch Dateline's "to catch a predator" that will make you cringe.
- May 25, 2006 10:08 AM
Actually, I believe it was a library in Berea, OH. I'd hardly call that PA. Anyway, this guy could have been jerkin his chain in NYC and it would still qualify as tOSU ammo. Kinda like Vito Spatafore and his fucking Irish hat. Greatgoogilymoogily that made me cringe.

When I was at tOSU (early 80's), there was a guy there who was given the moniker "Stack Jacker". No need to go into details, the name says it all.
Perhaps there is a new tradition building.

Most kindergarteners know that when you are caught with your hands in your pants, shut up; and if you do talk, deny it to the end of the earth. This guy is dumb on so many levels it hurts the brain to consider it. My only hope is that he exclusively roots for synchronized swimming.

Serously, one of the funniest smackdowns of a rival ever. It wouldn't suprise me if Ohio State simply forfieted the game versus UM this year. That is just awesome.
- May 25, 2006 3:12 PM
I felt like I was watching a sick and twisted version of Napoleon Dynamite. "I used to be able to shoot my wad a quarter mile." The unemployed part and the mustache was hilarious. He obviously didn't go to college.... anywhere.
Anyways good smackdown to M-Zone from a buckeye fan in Georgia. "you see them mountains over there.. I bet I could shoot it over those." Fucking sickos.
- May 25, 2006 3:54 PM
Jesus Christ, why must our state's stupid people wear Ohio State gear?
I think there should be a sign in front of every building that reads "If you're a dumbfuck, don't wear Ohio State clothing."
That would make my life as a fan so much easier. $1 Billion says this guy never set foot near Ohio State as a student.
- May 25, 2006 4:19 PM
Ouch. Fair enough after that Larry Harrison fiasco. (But still, Larry is football player while that guy clearly is not.)
More reasons to input the porn blockers in the library computers!!!

Yeah, you'd think M fans were paying folks to wear the Buck gear in, uh, "incidents" like this.

As a Michigan fan and a librarian it was my duty to bring the content of this video up to another fellow librarian, who is a Longhorn fan, at work today. After some thought we agreed that public libraries should have an area that is separated from the rest of the library by curtains and a sign that reads "Perverts Only". Since I also live in Texas the thought of this kind of Ohio filth slithering to Austin for the showdown with the Longhorns this fall is something that all Texas librarians should be prepared to deal with. I will post this video on the Texas Library Association website that way we will be on full alert for these families that spawn this kind of degenerates. The only thing that gives me solace is the fact that if they are caught in Texas they stand a good chance at getting the death penalty.

Sometimes, the comedy just writes itself.
For everyone who sees this, whenever you're feeling down, just remember that at least your not an unemployed loser with a molester mustache who has to go to the library to masturbate, gets caught multiple times, is interviewed for the news about, makes a mess of denying it, hasn't the good sense to say "no comment" and walk away, still lives at home with his violent, troglodyte parents, and gets all of it displayed on the internet for world to see.
I'll never feel bad about anything that happens to me again because at least I'm not that guy.

An Amtrak board member since June 2010 and current chairman of its Audit and Finance committee, Coscia succeeds departing board chairman Thomas Carper, whose term on the board expires at the end of March 2013.
"I am confident Tony and Jeff will provide effective leadership, continue what is working while promoting new initiatives and work closely with President and CEO Joe Boardman to further transform Amtrak so it better delivers on its national mission to provide connectivity and mobility across the country," Carper said.
"It is an honor to serve as Amtrak's next chairman and I thank the Obama administration and many members from both houses of Congress whose support for Amtrak has been invaluable," Coscia said. "As chairman, I am committed to increasing ridership, strengthening Amtrak's operational performance and improving its financial position. During the many years that I have been involved in infrastructure and especially over my past three years on Amtrak's board, I have come to recognize that passenger rail is vital to America's economic growth and to addressing our nation's growing need for mobility and connectivity."
Jeffrey Moreland also has been an Amtrak board member since June 2010 and is the chairman of its Government Affairs and Legal and Corporate Affairs committee. He succeeds Nancy Naples as vice chairman.
"I look forward to continuing to work with Tony, the other board members and Joe Boardman and his management team. I believe all of us working together will allow Amtrak to continue to make progress in achieving our goals," said Moreland.

As of November 15, HART had 27 trenches left to excavate as part of the archaeological work, having completed 205 of 232 trenches in the city center portion of the rail route between Middle Street in Kalihi and Ala Moana Center. Another 166 archaeological trenches were completed earlier along the route between East Kapolei and Middle Street.
"In addition to completing the archaeological work ahead of schedule, our cultural monitoring program is also going well. The monitors, who include descendants with ties to the area, are watching over all of the trenching work to ensure it is being done correctly," CEO and executive director Dan Grabauskas said.
When the fieldwork is completed, an extensive archaeological inventory survey report will be drafted and submitted to the State Historic Preservation Division for its approval.
"This archaeological survey is being done years in advance and provides ample time to make any necessary design changes that may be needed," Grabauskas said.

FOR a man who courted public attention in his professional life, the final chapter of author Bryce Courtenay's 79 years was a strictly private affair.
More than 300 mourners, including Prime Minister Julia Gillard and her partner, Tim Mathieson, paid their last respects to Courtenay on Wednesday afternoon at an intimate and private funeral at St Mark's Church, Darling Point.
Courtenay, who had planned much of the service himself in his final months with a professional event planner hired to co-ordinate it, had decreed it be a ''private'' ceremony, with only invited guests permitted at the historic sandstone church.
Ranking as one of Australia's highest-selling authors - more than 20 million books in 18 languages - he was farewelled by mostly friends and family members.
Courtenay's second wife, Christine, was surrounded by well-wishers, including television personality Jennifer Byrne, former Greens leader Bob Brown, entertainer Kamahl, former advertising colleague Alex Hamill and publishing figures Robert Sessions and Julie Gibbs.
Scenes from two films based on his books Jessica and The Power of One were screened before the service.
During the 90-minute service, billed as ''A Celebration'' in the order-of-service booklet, printed on what appeared to be a glossy book sleeve from one of his novels, mourners heard emotional tributes from his widow, sons Adam and Brett, former Sydney Olympics chief Simon Balderstone, and Mr Hamill.
Mr Sessions, Penguin Australia publisher, read the eulogy, in which he described Courtenay as man with a ''generosity of spirit'' and a keen eye not just for writing books but selling them, too.
Courtenay announced in September he was battling stomach cancer and died on November 22 but not before telling Mr Sessions his demise presented a marketing opportunity for what would become his final book, Jack of Diamonds, published just weeks ago .
''When he told me [about his cancer], I was speechless - but he wasn't. 'This is a great marketing opportunity … with my help Penguin can promote this as Bryce Courtenay's final book - we should sell twice as many as usual'.''
Mr Sessions said Courtenay's most challenging book was the account of his youngest son Damon's death after contracting medically acquired HIV, inspiring the 1993 bestseller April Fool's Day.
''Bryce said it was the hardest thing he had ever done, and the book deeply affected everyone who read it,'' he said.
Courtenay's first wife, the late Benita Solomon, was also recognised before the congregation heard about Courtenay's philanthropy and his love of teaching other writers, with a video screened of Courtenay at his ''Last Class'' writing workshop at the National Library of Australia in September.
A keen gardener who has a cymbidium orchid named after him, Courtenay's passion for the plant world was expressed in a guard of honour by his former students who held aloft sunflowers as his coffin left the church.

Linoleum flooring represents a cheap, durable alternative to tiles which is more easily produced and installed. Its ease of use and reliability have made linoleum a popular flooring product for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas which see high foot traffic throughout the typical day. While it's strong and not at all expensive, linoleum presents some unique concerns which other flooring materials do not. For instance, removing paint from linoleum flooring is rather difficult Flooring Options for Long Lasting Appearance Linden TX 75563 since the usual methods like steam cleaning can actually cause more damage to linoleum than the harm they would repair. Stick to these steps and you'll be fine.
First, try to get the paint up while it's still wet. This should be a natural first step but some people will continue painting and go back to clean up a spill later on. All that time on the floor allows paint to dry, harden and Linden TX 75563 set into the linoleum. Once that happens, getting it off is much more difficult. Because linoleum is non-porous, it should do a good job of deflecting wet or liquid substances, like paint, until they dry. Using hot water and a tough but gentle rag should be enough to fix it at this point.
Once paint has had a chance to dry and really set on linoleum, it is more difficult to remove. While steam Leather Flooring Linden TX 75563 might damage some older linoleum floors, it still works well with newer brands and those which are thicker or denser and therefore less likely to melt. The intense heat and hydration is sure to lift dried out paint up and off of your floor, but be careful of the underlying costs of this cleaning process. If you're unsure, see if you can't find out if your linoleum flooring is strong enough to withstand Linden TX 75563 steam cleaning.
If the paint has dried and your linoleum is older or finer than other types, you may be rather limited in your options. You could always try scraping it off, but that would likely damage the flooring beneath and lead to gouging and scratching throughout a room. To remove paint on linoleum flooring once it's dried, the easiest solution may be to cut an entire new square for the section which has Linden TX 75563 the paint on it. This is clean, precise and easy, plus it won't cause more damage to your flooring like other repair methods might.

"Think Progress" — if you want to call yourself that, don't make the "think" part seem like a joke.
(Why does it irk me that TP referred to me as "a woman named Ann Althouse"? A whiff of sexism there? Or is it like "A Man Called Horse" — kind of noble? I'll put it on my list of possible titles for the memoir I'm writing about my life as a blogger. A key chapter will be on the big difference between the way bloggers to my left and bloggers to my right treat me.)
In the comments at the Think Progress link:
Trying to insist Reynolds is vicariously part of this "smear" campaign you charge is being perpetrated, through Althouse's bringing notice to an editorial in Investors Business Daily and calling it harsh, while guestblogging at Instapundit, is an absolute textbook example of what people mean when they use the term "moonbat."Indeed.
Frankly, I haven't traced down the exact role of Jamie Gorelick as one of the government lawyers who played a role in restraining the sharing of information between intelligence and law enforcement. I didn't fact-check the assertions in the editorial I cited. Think Progress writes:
Shaffer's story [re Able Danger], if it's true, involved communications between the Department of Defense and the FBI. Gorelick's 1995 memo was only about communications between the FBI and the criminal division of the Justice Department.I didn't fact-check that either. I'd love to read a very substantial, unbiased analysis about the role of government lawyers in stopping the flow of information about the 9/11 plot. But isn't that what the report of the 9/11 Commission should, in part, have been? I don't want to see Gorelick (or anyone else) smeared, but by serving on the Commission, she contributed to the feeling many of us have now that we were deprived of the whole story.
This isn't a vendetta about Gorelick. The only other mention of her on this blog is in this post linking to my own Instapundit post (to make a place for comments). I'm genuinely concerned about the Able Danger story. But now that Think Progress is drawing attention to Gorelick, I can see that her presence on the 9/11 Commission impairs the credibility of its report. That's terribly important!
Isn't it?
If it's not, explain why, respectfully and rationally, and I'll discuss it with you. Don't just go into that ridiculous hysterical mode. My recent experience with lefty blogs that misread, freak out, and hurl insults makes me unwilling to engage with people who don't show a commitment to civil discourse. I'm going to save time by assuming it's not going to go anywhere.
UPDATE: A shorter Atrios... Wait! You can't get any shorter. I mean: Thanks to Atrios for providing an instant example of what I'm saying about lefty blogs. Sigh.
IN THE COMMENTS: Lots of hardcore types making fools of themselves and some good observations too. I just wanted to highlight this statement of mine about fact-checking:
Bloggers link to articles and opinion pieces all the time without independently checking the facts in them. If someone just sent me a friendly email when there's an error, I'd check into it and make a correction. There's nothing to flake out about. You're just being hardcore partisans looking for ways to attack all the terribly many people you view as your enemies.
I'm supposed to do independent research before I blog about anything that contains factual statements? That's a weird requirement, yet Atrios and Think Progress are acting all triumphant as if this post admits to some big failing! Really, is it their contention that you can't link to an opinion piece without checking any facts it includes? Do they follow that rule? I think not!

Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" from Sarah Palin on Vimeo.
Text. Excerpt:
There are those who claim political rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal. And they claim political debate has somehow gotten more heated just recently. But when was it less heated? Back in those "calm days" when political figures literally settled their differences with dueling pistols? In an ideal world all discourse would be civil and all disagreements cordial. But our Founding Fathers knew they weren't designing a system for perfect men and women. If men and women were angels, there would be no need for government.This is a reference to Federalist #51 ("If men were angels, no government would be necessary.").
Our Founders' genius was to design a system that helped settle the inevitable conflicts caused by our imperfect passions in civil ways. So, we must condemn violence if our Republic is to endure....
Just days before she was shot, Congresswoman Giffords read the First Amendment on the floor of the House. It was a beautiful moment and more than simply "symbolic," as some claim, to have the Constitution read by our Congress. I am confident she knew that reading our sacred charter of liberty was more than just "symbolic." But less than a week after Congresswoman Giffords reaffirmed our protected freedoms, another member of Congress announced that he would propose a law that would criminalize speech he found offensive.Ah! The irony!
America must be stronger than the evil we saw displayed last week. We are better than the mindless finger-pointing we endured in the wake of the tragedy.We are.

Functions with type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct descendant of any other programming language.
HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, Lua integration, output in various formats as well as runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.

Michigan 34, Indiana 3...Bring on the Bucks!
No more worrying about "looking ahead," "ahead" is now offcially HERE!
11-0 Meeeechigan vs. 11-0 THE Ohio State University.
One of the greatest match-ups in the history of the greatest rivalry in college football is upon us.
Leave your thoughts on the IU game, M-OSU or, hell, world peace. We don't care. We're celebrating and preparing for The Clash of Civilizations.
Go Blue!

2 TD's by Breaston... so very worthless.

I think the box of the other rival's score is gay

I think even Yost will have positive things to say about this win! It's THE GAME week!!
- November 11, 2006 6:38 PM
Yes, bring on the Bucks! I can't wait for this game.
Has there ever been a bigger game in college football's regular season?
- November 11, 2006 6:48 PM
Ah, yes. World peace. It seems to me that in general, world peace is somewhat overrated, much like Louisville in football. World peace... Who needs it? Bring on the Buckeyes and Wolvereenies.
- November 11, 2006 6:55 PM
Sorry, I meant Wolverweenies.

Go Blue!

Yes, the Bucks won by forty-four, but it would prove foolish to count on a gluttony of turnovers next week. OSU's pass defense in the 1H was borderline terrible, and running lanes only opened up after the outcome was no longer in doubt. Smith looked better, and Wells didn't cough one up (though Pittman did). Well, we're there, the best player in OSU history versus the best team in Michigan history. Nauseating last week, brighter this week. With the utter collapse of Auburn and near flop of Florida, the possibility of a rematch looms. Unless USC or FLA can run the table, a rematch is very likely. MICH is #1 with the computers, OSU in the polls; a loss by either team (assuming a close game) puts them no lower than #4 and possibly #3. Glad The Game is in Columbus... been waiting for this team to get exposed all year, one last hurdle. Gone from OSU 28-20 to MICH 17-7, final prediction of MICH 21-17, just don't think the line is good enough and Hart (140 yards) should control the game. Michigan has not lost three straight to OSU since 1963, OSU has not won three straight in Columbus since 1974. Carr cannot fall to 1-5, a complete reversal of 1995-00. Three straight outstanding performances from #10 in The Game? Asking a bit much.
- November 11, 2006 7:28 PM
Good wins by both teams this week. As I said last week, you both needed that near loss to wake you up and get you back in the business state of mind.
Speaking of looking forward and not focusing, how many times have you heard a Bucks fan or Big Blue fan say that this is a preview of a rematch for the title. How about take care of business next week and give the country a great game to watch instead of worrying about a rematch?
I wouldn't dare call what UofF did tonight a near flop. Outside of Michigan and OSU, you don't really have SEC quality opponents in the conference this year. So who knows who of the top two would have a "near flop" if you had to play a meat-grinder schedule.
Again though, great wins today, both of you and I'm looking forward to next week's game
- November 11, 2006 7:46 PM
FLA won by one point, at home, to a team struggling to make a decent bowl. Yeah, I would call it a "near-flop," FLA is proving to be overrated. These aren't the 1995-96 Gators, nor even the 2001 edition--their last great team. Given AUB's two humiliations on the Plains, FLA's loss there no longer qualifies as a "good" one. We'll see if they can win at the Doak and defeat ARK in Atlanta. If so, they deserve a title shot, unless MICH loses by a FG or USC wins out. OSU won at Austin, MICH at South Bend, neither team has lost since those September debacles; FLA gets great credit for win at Neyland, yet Tennessee is no longer in the picture. Bottom line: you're supposed to thoroughly wipe inferior teams out at home if you're a real contender (and win all home games regardless). FLA failed to do that, and their supreme defense appeared quite vulnerable in the latter stages. In point of fact, calling OSU's 17-10 win over ILL a "near loss" is something I wouldn't dare do.
- November 11, 2006 7:58 PM
OSU22UM6: That's some fucking SWEET magical thinking there. To paraphrase: Since Smith's been great on so many important occasions, he's not likely to be great again. You go ahead and think that way all you want; the soul-crushing will be all that much sweeter.
I'm guessing that both teams will be able to more or less contain the other's running game, meaning it'll come down to QB/WR play. (note: it's always possible that special teams play will be decisive, but I think both teams are too well coached and solid in that aspect of the game to predict that sort of thing) If that's the case, then Jeebus help the Wolverines. 35-17, Buckeyes. Be glad you've only got this one last time to suffer from the Troy curse.

Whatever happened to Prescott Burgess? Have I forgotten an injury or a disciplinary infraction? He didn't even seem to come in as second string today.
- November 11, 2006 8:09 PM
OSU22UM6 - You never heard me use the phrase "near loss" when talking about the game OSU played last week. But since y9ou lit that candle, here goes- If you have to use "near-flop" on any team, UofF against a quality USC team (that wipped tOSU twice in the Outback Bowl this deccade) or tOSU against who??? last week (Or Michigan against Ball State for that matter), I'm guessing it wouldn't be used for today's UofF game except by a delusional couch burner. Like I said, great win by both tOSU and Michigan today, but if you're looking for someone to help you pour lighter fluid on furniture, beg on someone else's doorstep.

the best part of this upcoming week will certainly not be spent reading blogs as the tOSU fans beat their hairless nuts (that's what a Buckeye is right?) trying to tell the world how AWWWWSUM they are....
Oh no sports fans-- rather, the best part of this coming week is going to be ESPN Classic's line-up---M vs. OSU all day, all night, all the time.....
- November 11, 2006 8:14 PM
I stand corrected, I did say "near loss" (I'm an ass and will admit, I'm out-0classed and will shut up now). I sincerely made the mistake of thinking I called that a "near flop"- my apologies OSUfan#
- November 11, 2006 8:15 PM
I hope you're right. I'm a huge OSU fan (following games online from Romania at ungodly hours), the name refers to the one time I attended The Game ('94). Still, memories of '93, '95, and '96 (to a lesser extent '97, '03) are seared into the conscious. A win next week ends a lot of streaks, and more importantly, places OSU ahead of UM in the rivalry for the first time since the mid-1970s.

- B-Man said...
HOW could we POSSIBLY pull the starters and let tOSU win by a larger margin than we did?? Lloyd Carr is an idiot and must be fired immediately! PLUS, the world is ending, the sky is falling, and life is over!
Oh, we're not doing that this week? That was only for last week's spoiled ass cry-baby so-called Michigan fans??? Huh.. Seems they're quiet this week for some reason.
Michigan once again did what they needed to do - WIN! Win one more and we're in the best spot possible! So shut up, unless you plan to cheer!!! GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!
I'll say what I said last week... A win is a win and style points don't matter!
- November 11, 2006 8:21 PM
Yes, Holtz beat them twice, but those teams were an aggregate 15-7, a far cry from the last two years or even since 2002. Furthermore, OSU has NEVER beaten an SEC school not named Vandy or UK, no matter the coach or the year. I only quoted your words from today, I admit, I don't remember what you said last week. In recent years, though, OSU has become a faster team, not quite as fast as FLA or LSU, but close. Still, OSU fans should look forward to SEC opponents the way Democrats should look forward to open presidential elections (3-12 since 1856), no matter what changes, things seem to remain the same. Hell, I wanted Louisville in Glendale, as did most UM fans I'll wager.

Hardy har-har. I get it. You're mocking those who thought a close win against Ball St wasn't a well played game.
Jesus, you're a genius and the only real Michigan fan on this site.

I've been saying it since they beat Auburn up and now it's pretty obvious...Arkansas is the best one loss team in the country, hands down. Too bad there's such a thing as preseason polls or they'd be cruising toward the BCS title game...

Damn, I'm so fired up...
I'm always anxious during Michigan-Ohio State week, but this is going to be as hard a week of work as I've had in a LONG time. I'll probably spend as much time as possible scouring the Internet to read "experts" opinions of the upcoming game because that'll be all I'll be thinking about ...
And please, let's quit the lame predictions. It's so difficult to predict the UM-tOSU game ... both teams have been keeping things hidden all season long so I'm sure we'll see some different looks all around ... just makes it even more exciting!
Damn, way too many days left ...
- November 11, 2006 10:23 PM
As a college football fan from SEC country (though not necessarily an SEC fan), I just wanted to congratulate all Wolverine and Buckeye fans for their wins today. Next Saturday should be a hell of a treat! What more could you possibly ask for???

Is he really a morning radio guy, T9? That explains it all. The whacky Zoo Crew or something. Nuff said.

Ditto what King said.
So happy for Jerome Jackson today. Last week I was too damn nervous and upset to feel anything good.
And Breaston...finally!
Yost, Benny-put those damn wallpapers back up.
God, I feel like Cartman waiting for the Nintendo Wii to come out.
- November 11, 2006 11:15 PM
One more thing...
FSU losing to Wake...

Anyone else wonder how 4 of the top 10 BCS lost this week? Texas, Cal, Auburn and Louisville. Crazy, just freakin crazy. New standings will be interesting. Anyways, Go Blue beat the Horsechestnuts (yes, buckeyes are actually Horsechestnuts...do a google image search).

So agree about Jerome Jackson getting such great PT here toward the end of the season. Nobody deserves it more AND he's making the most of east chance. Very inspiring.
- November 12, 2006 12:18 AM
prediction...michigan 34 - osu 10
hot rumour...lloyd carr retires after a perfect season & undisputed national championship (possibly having beaten osu in his last two games) and hands the reins over to superstar, rising-stock defensive coordinator ron english whose teams will never give up more than 30 yards rushing again...ever*
*but will still manage to lose most rose bowls

For as much grief as Herbie took for calling Breaston worthless... Herbie sure did bite his tongue this morning on Gameday.
Desmond Howard said he wasn't casting a vote for the Heismann this year because there isn't any stand-out players (his words not mine).
So when Howard got done with his barely coherent explanation, Herbie challenged Desmond and said rather forcefully, "there's not one player in all of football that you'd vote for this year"... when Desmond said no, Herbie turned his head to face the camera and literally bit his lip as they went to commercial.
Listen, I understand that the terms "redneck" and "white trash" originated in C-bus... and for the most part, if one cannot get accepted to college, there's always tOSU... but Howard was such a blatant homer on national TV this morning that I felt embarrassed for him. And I guess a bit of kudos is in order for Herbie keeping it together.

Long time Buckeye fan. Old fart Buckeye Alum. Long time UM hater. Never liked that UM had such a cool nickname (Wolverine is a cool nickname). Never liked that they had cool uniforms.
We Buckeye fans are obsessed with UM. We're not afraid to admit it. I never liked it when UM fans would say "Ohio State? They're not our rivals. We couldn't care less about them. Our rivals are MSU." The rest of the country never gave a rats ass about UM v MSU. The entire nation looked forward to UM v OSU but still UM fans would say this, "Ohio State? They're not our rivals. We couldn't care less about them. Our rivals are MSU."
It's good to see UM fans finally admit that the OSU game is THE GAME. And even though I hate UM and root against them every week, I am proud of them this one time.
Ohio State and Michigan. It is college football. God Bless.
- November 12, 2006 1:20 AM
I've never heard any UM fans say OSU wasn't their biggest rivalry game. MSU is a rival for sure but is nowhere near OSU on the rivalry foodchain.
- November 12, 2006 2:17 AM
All I can say is this, so please don't let your children read this:
Holy shit, motherfucker!
This is The Game we have all been waiting for. Go Blue, Beat OSU!!!
- November 12, 2006 2:22 AM
Stop with the fucking predictions!!! Let's just go in there and win!!!
Michigan 1545215, OSU 3

All i want for Xmas is a Michigan victory in Columbus on the 18th !!!!!!!!!
- November 12, 2006 12:22 PM
i was at the game -- michigan fans were louder than IU fans + band. Saw a jackass ohio state chick with her face painted in os-douche colors with the buckeye necklace. She was going nuts.. i told her she had a buckstache and her response was: "I just got my lip waxed yesterday" GO BLUE!
- November 12, 2006 2:12 PM
I think Ohio State best chance is to spread michigan out. Run screens and draws and quick passes.
- November 12, 2006 3:17 PM
Word from Buckeye camp is that they are gonna start ginn on both sides of the ball and use him as a corner against manningham on defense... I say bring it on... what do you guys think??
Can't wait to see the buckeyes go down this weekend!!
- November 12, 2006 5:56 PM
You have no clue. what you are talking about the coaches wouldn't put Ginn or the team in that situation.
- November 12, 2006 7:38 PM
I live in the Detroit metro area. Michigan has serious economic issues and only when the people pull together can the problems be overcome. It's going to take everyone not just democrat or republican A great place to find out Michigan and Detroit is MICHIGAN AND DETROIT
