Hi I have got this from ebay. It has Windows XP preinstalled and all the drivers preinstalled. I would like to install Linux but just in case if I want to go back to Windows XP I would like to back up everything. I have tried free trial of True Image Acronis but the problem is that I don't have any XP disc to install then use Acronis to restore everything. Is there any good back up software that I can back up everything and then boot to live cd and restore everything if possible?

you do not need windows
Make a disk image on to an external device and the rescue media (CD)
Boot from the rescue cd point it to the image and it will restore the disk to this state.
easeus is a good fre version that should do the same thing

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Barbara Piasecka Johnson, heir to Johnson & Johnson fortune, dies at 76
WARSAW, Poland - She was a Polish farmer's daughter who emigrated to the United States, a maid who worked for a wealthy American heir, and a third wife who inherited much of the Johnson & Johnson fortune after a sensational court battle with her six stepchildren.
Barbara Piasecka Johnson, the widow of J. Seward Johnson Sr., heir to millions made from bandages, baby oil and pharmaceutical products, has died at age 76.
Johnson was best known for a nasty legal battle after her husband's 1983 death, a feud that pitted her against his six children from two previous marriages. She largely prevailed, emerging with about $300 million from a fortune worth more than $500 million.
A resident of Monaco and one of the world's richest women, Johnson used her wealth to become an art collector, amassing works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Gauguin and Raphael.
Her family announced her death Thursday in the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita, saying she died "after a long and serious illness" and that she will be buried April 15 in Wroclaw, the southwestern Polish city where she spent much of her youth.
Johnson died in Wroclaw, said Ricky Stachowicz, general counsel for BPJ Holding Corp., Johnson's Princeton, New Jersey-based private real-estate holding company. The cause of death was not being disclosed at the request of her family, Stachowicz said.
Barbara Piasecka, who went by the diminutive "Basia," was born in 1937 in Staniewicze, in an area of prewar eastern Poland that now lies in Belarus. Her family resettled after the war in Wroclaw, where she obtained a degree in art history.
She left communist Poland, studying for a time in Rome before arriving in 1968 in the United States with $100 and no knowledge of English. She got a job working as a cook and a maid in the Oldwick, New Jersey, estate of the Johnson & Johnson heir and his second wife of more than 30 years.
A year later, she left the family to take art courses at New York University, and Johnson Sr. rented an apartment for her in Manhattan and moved in with her.
In 1971, he divorced his second wife, the mother of two of his children, and married Piasecka eight days later. None of his children attended the wedding. At the time he was 76 and she was 34.
Johnson Sr., son of the founder of Johnson & Johnson, bequeathed most of his fortune of more than $500 million to Piasecka, largely excluding from his will both his children and Harbor Branch, an oceanographic research institute in Florida that he had founded.
The children contested the will, saying they did it on principle. They depicted their stepmother as a gold-digger who used fraud, threats and abuse to coerce her ailing 87-year-old husband into signing a new version of the will and said he was not of sound mind when he did so.
He signed it six weeks before he died of prostate cancer after having changed it many times in the preceding years, each time giving more and more of his estate to his third wife.
Johnson disputed the portrayal made by her husband's children. She said her late husband chose to leave them out of his will because he had given them trust funds years earlier. She also argued that he didn't want to leave them more money because he was disappointed by what she called their greed and "scandalous behaviour."
A settlement was reached in 1986 under which she kept more than $300 million, with the remaining going to Johnson Sr.'s children, the oceanographic institute, taxes and legal fees.
Johnson was not known in her homeland until the fall of communism in 1989, when she stepped in and offered millions of dollars to save the bankruptcy-threatened shipyard in Gdansk that had been the centre of Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa's pro-democracy Solidarity movement.
On one occasion she was given an enthusiastic welcome by workers at the massive shipyard, even though her plan to save it fell through.
A biography provided by her lawyer focused primarily on Johnson's philanthropic and art-related activities. It noted that her paintings are loaned to museums worldwide and that she set up the Barbara Piasecka Johnson Foundation in 1974 to help the sick and needy, including people with autism.
It said she donated her large art collection to her foundation to sell, and that proceeds went to help people with autism.
A funeral mass is planned for April 15 in the Wroclaw cathedral, after which Johnson will be buried at a cemetery in the city, according to her death notice.

CNBC says Charlotte No. 2 city for stock returns in 2012

- Email | Twitter | Google+
CNBC, that good ol' Wall Street news-ertainment network, visited Banktown Tuesday for a live segment from the NASCAR Hall of Fame uptown.
Brian Sullivan, anchor of Street Signs, named Charlotte the second-best city for stocks, with publicly traded Queen City companies gaining more than 20% in value during 2012. While visiting, Sullivan interviewed Carlisle Cos. CEO David Roberts and Speedway Motorsports President Marcus Smith.
He also talked fiscal cliff with local money manager Larry Carroll of Carroll Financial Associates. Of course, Charlotte Business Journal subscribers already knew Carroll's fiscal cliff thoughts thanks to our print edition report featuring him on Friday (apologies for the shameless self-promotion).
Carroll says tax hikes on the wealthy will likely lead to 10-15% higher tax bills for the rich next year.
"I think people can count on higher tax rates, not crippling tax rates, but higher," Carroll says. And he says higher rates on capital gains should prompt some investors to sell some holdings by year-end because the combination of higher taxes and the expectation that growth will remain flat leaves little incentive to wait and hope for a bigger profit in a year or two. He also suggests remaining in dividend stocks for income.
"We seem to be in a prolonged slow-growth, sideways economy," he says. "I can't draw a scenario that suddenly puts us in a fast-growing economy anytime soon. Everything Congress could do to fix the deficit and debt is likely to shrink the economy."
Adam O'Daniel covers banking, entrepreneurs and technology for the Charlotte Business Journal.

It's not just senility: the reasons why older people fall for scams
- Older people are more susceptible to scams due to the way they process visual cues as well as fear and suspicion, says Shelly Taylor, a professor of psychology at the University of California Los Angeles
- Taylor and her team of researchers conducted two studies to better understand why
- Older people's 'brains are not saying "be wary," as the brains of the younger adults are,' she said
A U.S. psychology professor is looking into the reasons why older people are more susceptible to scams and found that it has to do with more than just to senility.
Their susceptibility also has to do with the way older people process visual cues as well as fear and suspicion, says Shelly Taylor, a professor of psychology at the University of California Los Angeles.
Taylor began researching the matter after two homeless men duped her 70-somehting-year-old father out of $17,000, NBC News reports.
Discerning information: An older man looks at his laptop
American seniors lose an estimated $2.9 billion a year to fraud and most of the victims are between 80 and 89, studies have found
Experts have often assumed that the elderly are more vulnerable to fraud because of diminished brain capacity and because retired people often more time on their hands and more assets to spare.
Taylor and her research team did two studies to better understand the full picture.
In one study, they asked 119 people between the ages of 55 to 84 to look at photographs of people's faces and rate them for trustworthiness.
Researching brain activity: Shelley Taylor, professor of psychology at the University of California Los Angeles
They then asked 24 young adults in their 20s to do the same.
The two age groups generally reacted the same to the 'trustworthy' and neutral faces, Taylor told NBC.
But those in the older group were far less likely to agree with the young people on who looked 'untrustworthy,' she said.
'They missed facial cues that are pretty easily distinguished,' she said. 'Is something going on the brain that would explain this pattern?'
To answer that, Taylor and her team set up a second study using functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI, which is a way to look at brain activity in real time.
They studied 23 older adults between the ages of 55 and 80 and 21 younger adults, with an average age of 33.
In the younger adults, a part of the brain called the anterior insula became active as they were examining all the faces, but especially active when looking at those with expressions or characteristics that people associate with being untrustworthy, Taylor said.
The anterior insula did not activate nearly so much in the older people, she noted.
'Their brains are not saying "be wary," as the brains of the younger adults are,' she said.
Therefore, 'a diminished "gut" response to cues of untrustworthiness may partially underlie older adults' vulnerability to fraud,' her report concludes.
Ponzi schemer: A police mug shot of Italian-born American swindler Charles Ponzi (1882 - 1949) after his arrest for forgery under the name of Charles Bianchi, Montreal, Canada, 1909
Taylor and her team are still unsure if this is caused by reduced brain function, or simply by getting older.
'We know that older adults are good emotion regulators. They make their lives emotionally more positive,' she said. 'They don't stress out over small things. They turn away from negative scenes. They are less likely to go to scary negative movies. They kind of keep their emotional life in balance.'
Taylor and her team's research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday.

Creepiest PSA Ever
by GiggleSugar 27 Reactions 0 Shares Print
This "masturbating is okay" public service announcement from the 70's, complete with a melancholy guitar soundtrack, plays like a horror film. It depicts a woman walking into her teenage son's bedroom during a...private moment. Instead of just leaving and saying sorry, she drones on and on with this glazed look on her face about how this is no big deal. The demented look on the poor masturbator's face tells me she's wrong...

A spot of bother! Hunger Games star Alexander Ludwig shows off a rather unsightly pimple
There are few things more horrifying for a teenager than waking up to find a giant pimple on your face.
But it must have been doubly heartbreaking for Hunger Games hunk Alexander Ludwig, as he is in the middle of promoting one of the year's biggest films.
He was certainly trying to keep his head down as he arrived at LAX Airport in Los Angeles today, trying to disguise himself further with a large pair of sunglasses.
Spot the teen star: Alexander Ludwig had a massive pimple on his face at LAX Airport in Los Angeles today
The scarlet pimple: There was no ignoring the large red boil on his face
Unfortunately for him his plan failed to work, and he was spotted with the giant zit in all its glory.
The extra large pimple was also in a rather obvious area, sitting just below the right edge of his lips.
However the 19-year-old was greeted by a mystery woman when he arrived at the terminal in the latest publicity stop for the movie, so perhaps she offered to kiss it better.
Acne-phobia: No doubt Alexander had trouble sleeping at night after realising he had a zit
Kiss it better: Lucky for the actor a shapely fan seemed keen to help out
Breakout: Alexander stars as evil Cato in The Hunger Games
With the Hunger Games just being released and the hype surrounding it at its peak, there has been no rest for the Canadian star, who plays villain Cato.
In fact he was busy signing autographs, with his giant spot in full display, at a book shop in West Hollywood popular shopping centre The Grove yesterday.
Luckily for him however, fans seemed a little more eager to meet the movie's number one heart-throb Liam Hemsworth.
But he had better get used to being recognised with the film grossing a staggering $19.7 million from its first showings in the U.S., making it the highest midnight total ever for a non-sequel.
Based on this $19.7 million figure, experts predict that the The Hunger Games should take in at least $50 million on Friday and could reach as high as $150 million over the full weekend.
A spot of make-up helps: He appeared to have used a bit of slap at yesterday's book signing

Franciscan University Students Prepare to 'Be a Light' at March for Life
Catholic PRWire
Steubenville, OH (January 20, 2014) - Calling for faith to �be lived in our daily lives and in the public square,� Franciscan University of Steubenville president Father Sean Sheridan, TOR, said he is honored to lead hundreds of Franciscan University students at the 41st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.
Franciscan University will be represented by approximately 800 people affiliated with the University at the 2014 March for Life on January 22, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
Franciscan�s chapter of Students for Life coordinated the trip under the theme of John 1:5 � �The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.�
�Franciscan University is a pro-life institution that fosters the dignity of human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death,� said Father Sheridan. �I have participated in the annual March for Life for several years, and it is my honor to walk again this year with the students of Franciscan University as public witnesses for life and the need for men and women of all faiths to protect life at all stages. Faith must be lived in our daily lives and in the public square. And we must object to any attempt to infringe upon our constitutional right to do so.�
Months of planning have yielded eight busses of students ready to witness, and hundreds more traveling by car to march beneath Franciscan�s iconic green banner that proclaims, �Before I formed you in the womb I knew you... Before you were born, I dedicated you...� (Jer. 1:5).
Students for Life president Jenna Leighton, a senior theology and catechetics major from Minnesota, said students have shown an increased interest this year, with busses filling up in just a few days.
�The march is such a big event, and it�s meaningful because it falls on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade,� she said. �It�s really a national event. I think it�s hard for every student to get involved with Students for Life on campus, but it�s easy for students to attend the march because there are no scheduled classes that day.�
Students will attend a Holy Hour prior to boarding the busses at midnight. They will arrive the morning of January 22 for Mass at the National Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. From there, Franciscan students will converge on the National Mall with hundreds of other groups for the annual March for Life Rally.
Marchers will complete their walk at the Supreme Court of the United States, five blocks from their starting position at the mall.

Pharoahe Monch Desire
- Words: James Mayo
- Label: SRC-Universal
It's been nearly eight years since his last proper release. Is Pharoahe pissed? No doubt. On his sophomore full-length-held-up due to record-label legal issues-the rapper exceeds the high standard set by his 1999 debut, Internal Affairs. Like Muhammad Ali after his imposed exile, Monch comes out swinging hard on tracks like "Free," labeling the record industry a modern-day slave plantation. Referencing his Organized Konfusion days, he personifies a bullet on "The Gun Draws," firing shots at America's violence-saturated culture. On the Tower of Power-driven single, "Push," he sounds inspired. Muzzled for far too long, Monch has returned with a passion that will satisfy heads seeking alternatives to ringtone rap and prefab rage.

Putting the whole horse meat scandal to shame, a Nigerian restaurant was shut down by authorities after their food was found to contain human flesh.
The Mirror reports that police arrested 11 people, including the owner of the restaurant.
Most disturbingly, they also found at least two freshly severed human heads wrapped in cellophane. Police said roasted human head was on the menu--apparently the restaurateurs weren't even trying to keep it a secret.
They also found several weapons at the eatery, including two AK-47 rifles.
The Metro reports that police investigated the restaurant, name withheld, in Anambra after receiving a tip-off.
A nearby resident commented that he always noticed strange people frequenting the restaurant. A pastor told reporters that he had eaten at the establishment earlier this year.
"I ate at the restaurant and the bill was very high," he said. "The workers told me that I ate human flesh. I was shocked." Apparently though, he didn't think to report it.

So I don't think those free condoms universities hand out suck as much as guys say they do.
Okay, but seriously. If you're ever considering sexy times with a guy and he tells you that he can't wear a condom there is a 100.3% chance that he is a liar, and you should definitely not have sex with him. Don't have sex with liars. Have sex with a cute honest people that bring you ice cream the next morning. Liars do not bring you ice cream. And if they do it's ice cream made of lies. Ice cream made of lies is very emotionally unfulfilling. Don't trust liars or their disease-ridden ice cream.
that was the best safe-sex talk ever.

Liberal watchdog group disputes charge that Hillary Clinton made unfounded claims about bringing peace to Northern Ireland
Margaret Carlson falsely claimed of Sen. Hillary Clinton, "Everyone responsible for bringing peace to Northern Ireland is on the record saying her claim to involvement there is complete fiction." In fact, several figures involved in "bringing peace to Northern Ireland" -- including former Sen. George Mitchell, U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland and former Social Democratic and Labour Party leader John Hume -- have reportedly stated that Clinton played a role in the peace process.

Ridder Clan Mod Alpha 2.00 - FixJan 16, 2013 Other 28 comments
This program fixes some of the common problems people have after installing the Ridder Clan Mod via Desura, or due to other versions of windows. It is...
We bring back a bit of the BFME 1 gameplay style by adding Combo hordes, smaller hordes, leveling buildings... and more! We introduce the Create-a-Character System! Also all of the old Factions are being remade, thus making them more fun to play.
There are quite a few factions in this mod...
Arnor (2 sub factions) & Gondor & Rohan & Elves (2 sub factions!) & Dwarves & Isengard & Mordor & Men of the East (2 sub factions!) & Dol Guldur
Created by Ridder Geel and the RC Mod team.

Hello fans and followers,
First of all I would like to thank all of you who are still around, and actively following the mod.
You guys have been a great inspiration to me and the rest of the team, so thanks to all of you for that!
Now without further ado:
Today I present to you a nice little video...
...Which took me more time than I had hoped...
It's the castle of the High Elves!
This neat castle is the base which you will get in-game during the BFME 1 mode, whilst playing as the High Elves!
I hope you guys like the movie, I spent quite some time on it, and so has Valaquenta.
Feel free to give comments or suggestions on the things you see!
(Do keep in mind that things you suggest can only be changed if it actually has anything to do with the actual base, so no saying "I don't like the forest outside the base" won't make me recreate the whole movie (But obviously if you don't like the forest, feel free to share!) )
Thats it for now, stick around, we might have other updates to share with you guys in the near future!

also great job love the create a hero and also could add to the creature CaH dragons or something of the sort!
what if you download and you do not have the faction elves available like its not there at all
That would not make sense, that's impossible. It either downloads and you install it properly, or your download screws up and it won't work it all. There is no inbetween, it's one way or the other.
how far is the next beta? (Im not asking exact date...)
We are not sure... It may be months away. When we know a more precise time we will let you know.
I have ROTWK. Does that mean that I have to uninstall that to play this? And can I have this mod for BFME 2 and RJ-rotwk for the rotwk game?
Yep you can have this mod for BFME 2 and RJ for ROTWK ;)
RC Mod is installed as if it were a different game ;)
So no there is no need to uninstall ROTWK.
There ar 5 Istari wizards and only Saruman is evil. Harad is an evil faction and Saruman is with Isengard so harad dosn't get any wizard.
I like the new features to the CAH system, alot of people never liked it but I did, gives the game flavor. And balances of course are welcomed.
I 2 like the new cah system more detail and more opportunities fore uniqueness among the heros.
Highest Rated (9 agree) 10/10
After Geel contacted me and provided the fix I gave the mod another chance. At it's current state the mod is doing good. There are some maps that do not support BFME1 and/or 2 mode so they end instantly and few other things that need to be tweaked.
All together, I have decided to give this mod a 10 only because the mod creator is personally taking his time to get the mod working for individuals and I honestly do believe that after few fixes it will be a mod worth playing.
Sep 22 2011, 5:46am by Chernobog
Lowest Rated (2 agree) 3/10
Complicated to install, lacks maps, graphics for certain structures need updates. Multiplayer is far to complicated to be practical.

Bank of America, credit union regulator reach $165M settlement
Send this to a friend
- Staff Orlando Business Journal
Bank of America Corp. has agreed to pay $165 million to settle charges involving the sales of mortgage-backed securities to corporate credit unions that ultimately failed, Reuters reports.
The agreement is between BofA and the National Credit Union Administration. The regulator on Friday withdrew previous objections it had to a proposed $8.5 billion settlement between BofA and investors in those securities. The bank did not admit fault as part of the settlement, and a spokesman declined to comment.
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) is the second-largest bank in Central Florida.

LONDON (AP) — The song remains the same, as Led Zeppelin once observed. But Zeppelin fans can visit the band's music anew thanks to a film of the rock titans' last show together in 2007.
Zeppelin tout concert film, mum on future plans
That was the band's first full show in 27 years. Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones got together again Friday to promote the film — but that may be as close as fans will get to a new reunion.
At a news conference, the members flatly declined to answer when asked if they were tempted to perform together as Led Zeppelin.
Plant said that even lining up onstage to answer questions — "like a bunch of soccer managers being interviewed after a match" — was not his idea of fun.
The band members have moved on, with Plant in particular finding success in other genres. He has played with musicians from Mali and won a Grammy in 2009 for his rootsy collaborations with bluegrass musician Alison Krauss.
And, the 64-year-old singer admitted: "I struggle with some lyrics for particular periods of time" — particularly for the famously cryptic "Stairway to Heaven."
He's not alone. Many listeners find that Zeppelin lyrics range from mystical to unintelligible.
"Maybe I'm still trying to work out what I was talking about," Plant said.
But the musicians are proud of the December 2007 show at London's 02 Arena captured in director Dick Carruthers' crisp and energetic concert film "Celebration Day."
The concert, attended by 18,000 ticket-holders selected from more than 1 million applicants, was a tribute to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, an early mentor of the band.
Onscreen, the 1970s hard rock heroes — joined by Jason Bonham, son of original drummer John Bonham — look relaxed and sound confident as they power through hits including "Kashmir," ''Dazed and Confused," ''Whole Lotta Love" and — of course — "Stairway to Heaven."
Four decades after they fused blues, R&B and rock 'n' roll into a new kind of hard rock, they remain very much the 1970s rock gods — Plant the strutting frontman, Page the gurning guitar god, Jones the unshakeable bass player.

Rugged RJ45 DataTac Connector and Cat5-Flex Tactical Assembly
Mundelein, IL. – Clark Wire and Cable has added another product to their product line. Combining the tough and resistant Cat5-Flex cable with a super heavy duty DataTac RJ45 connector, Clark Wire & Cable has created an assembly that can withstand any outdoor environments, heavy abuse conditions or contaminating elements.
The DataTac Cat5-Flex assembly is appropriate for use in areas where temperatures are unpredictable, water or contaminating elements are a concern, or where harsh environments could potentially cause problems with the connection.
The DataTac Cat5-Flex assembly is appropriate for use in the field or with staging applications where harsh environments might be a problem. This turnkey assembly is easy for the engineer because there are no tools required.
The DataTac Connector is a tactical RJ45 connector with an IP-67 rating, helping protect against contamination from handling the connector or from exposure to water. The DataTac connector protects the data connection with a strong backshell that is shock and vibration resistant. The connector is also RoHS compliant.
This heavy duty RJ45 connector uses a Cat5-Flex cable for an all-in-one data connection. The Cat5-Flex is an industrial cable that can withstand exposure to sunlight, oil and water. The jacket is resistant to cuts and abrasions, and could be used in the field where environments call for a durable cable.
When looking for a data connection in harsh environments, the DataTac Cat5-Flex assembly is unsurpassed in quality. This assembly conforms to existing networks and maintains optimal performance even in harsh conditions.

San Francisco Fed President Williams in an overnight speech opines on an unintended consequence of keeping inflation low. Low inflation implies low interest rates. He notes that if the economy stumbles while rates are low it would mean that the Fed would have to employ unconventional policy again in downturn as we would quickly hit the zero bound.
Via the WSJ:

NEW YORK—Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams said on Friday that central banks' largely successful pursuit of low inflation could mean they more frequently run into periods where monetary policy hits levels of interest rates that can't be cut further.
At issue is what central banker's call the zero lower bound, or the point at which the central bank's short-term interest rate has been cut to near zero. The Fed has been mired at this level since the end of 2008 and is broadly expected to remain there until the middle of next year.
To provide additional support, the Fed, like other central banks, has had to pursue unorthodox strategies to provide additional stimulus once more interest rate cuts were off the table.
Mr. Williams said flirting with this level of monetary policy could come hand-in-hand with success in keeping inflation low. "Based on the broader historical experience and potential for a lower level of the natural rate of interest, the [zero lower bound] is likely to be a recurring issue for central banks that target low levels of inflation," Mr. Williams said.
The officials' remarks came from the text of a speech that was prepared for delivery before a conference on inflation targeting held by the South African Reserve Bank in Pretoria, South Africa. He spoke in the wake of this week's monetary-policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee meeting, but didn't comment on the U.S. outlook.
Instead, he devoted the bulk of his remarks to taking stock of the broad success enjoyed by the many central banks around the world that have set inflation targets and worked to achieve the desired level of price pressures. The Fed has a 2% inflation target, although it is also charged by Congress to pursue maximum sustainable employment, creating what's called a dual mandate.
Mr. Williams explained the challenge facing central banks is one of a changing economic landscape. On one side, many economies are likely to need a lower average interest rate to keep inflation at bay. On the other, downturns of a severity rivaling the troubles seen over recent years aren't as uncommon as many believe. "A broad view of history teaches us that very large downturns are not only possible, they are common," he said.
Past central-bank success at lowering inflation expectations, which in turn allow central banks to keep interest rate targets lower than they were historically, means there is less room to cut rates when deep economic trouble appearance and calls for an easier money stance.
"It is too early to judge whether this downward shift in the natural [interest] rate will endure," Mr. Williams said. But, "if it does, then it raises the specter of the [zero lower bound] being a more frequent problem than in past decades when the natural rate of interest was higher," given the omnipresent threat of an economic downturn, he explained.

OVERNIGHT FLOWS: Treasuries were under pressure overnight following the BoJ's surprise announcement of an increased monetary base (i.e. more QE). Overnight volumes were strong with cash trading at 144% of the 10-day moving-average, while TY came in at 179% of norm. 10s were the most active issue, taking a 37% marketshare, while 5s were a distant second at 26%. 2s and 3s combined to take 21% at 11% and 10%, respectively.
Via a fully paid up subscriber:
The BoJ decided to sail further into QE waters earlier today and at the moment there are bunch of things we know about this move and a bunch of questions unanswered (known knows and known unknowns I guess?). Here 3 quick points that come to my mind immediately.
3-Clearly the majority of market participants were not expecting this at all. Having said that USDJPY was the one USD cross that closed more or less on its highs yesterday as the GPIF chatter was announced late in our session (other USD pairs were kinda cool to to a stronger than expected Q3 GDP print y'day as month end flows seemed to trump it). We also saw a ton of pricing requests in yesterday afternoon in USDJPY (and some crosses) on what we thought was a reaction to GPIF (but now wonder if someone didn't know something). This seemed to leave dealers short of 1m-3m options and today the market is scrambling to get those tenors in paying up to 9.9 in the 1m from last night's close around 7.75 – (in fact we saw 9.9 paid then the market drifted lower to 9.4 where someone bought 1bn and it traded up at 9.6-9.7 next). This is a level in implieds not seen since Jan. There defiantly was some legacy barrier clean up on the 110 handle too which is exacerbating things but overall there has not been a lot of barrier supply over the past month or so. So net-net it feels like someone somewhere had the sniff on this took USDJPY higher yesterday afternoon and left the options market offsides which will exacerbate the move in the short term (and could make pull backs painful too)

Yen Weakens As BOJ Surprises
- The BOJ delivered a dovish surprise at today's meeting; Japan reported September national CPI and Tokyo October CPI overnight
- Eurozone data today was mostly softer than expected
- The Russian central bank hiked 150 bp to 9.5% vs. consensus for a 50 bp hike
- Brazil markets have so far reacted well to the surprise rate hike
- Mexican central bank meets and is expected to keep rates steady at 3.0%
Price action: The dollar is broadly firmer today. The yen was the biggest mover after the BOJ's dovish surprise, losing over 2% vs. the dollar to trade at its weakest level since early 2008. Dollar/yen ran out of steam just below 112. The euro is trading near $1.2575, while cable is trading little changed near $1.60. The dollar bloc and sterling are holding up better on the day. In the EM space, KRW and RUB are underperforming, while IDR and MXN are outperforming. MSCI Asia Pacific was up 1.3%, driven by the nearly 5% jump in the Nikkei. Euro Stoxx 600 is up 1.4% near midday, while S&P futures are pointing to a higher open.
The BOJ delivered a dovish surprise at today's meeting. The central bank eased monetary policy further by raising the monetary base to 80 trillion yen from 60-70 trillion yen previously. The BOJ will purchase mainly long term JGB, which results in extending the average remaining maturity of JGBs to 7-10 years from 5-7 years. BOJ also announced it will expand purchase of ETFs and J-REITs at an annual pace of about 3 trillion yen and 90 billion yen, respectively.
In addition, Japanese media is reporting that Japanese government pension funds (GPIF) will boost limits for both local and overseas stocks to 25% and foreign bonds to 15%. Both measures have strengthened risk on sentiment, as the Nikkei index rose by around 5% and the yen weakened over 2% against the dollar. Global bourses are following the Nikkei higher today. Along with other reports about a potential supplemental budget, today's BOJ pretty much kills any notion of another retail sales hike. Clearly, the Japanese economy was not holding up as well from the first tax hike as many officials had been saying.
Dollar/yen broke decisively above 110, ostensibly to a new 110-115 range from 105-110 previously. Japan officials have been careful not to mention the exchange rate in any policy discussions, but a weaker yen will be a by-product of these policy changes. G7 officials may fire another warning shot across Japan's bow, but the BOJ is simply doing what the ECB and (until recently) the Fed had already been doing policy-wise.
Japan reported September national CPI and Tokyo October CPI overnight. National headline rose 3.2% y/y vs. 3.3% consensus, while national core rose 2.3% y/y vs. 2.2% consensus. Tokyo headline rose 2.5% y/y vs. 2.7% consensus, while Tokyo core 2.1% y/y vs. 2.0% consensus. Japan also reported September jobs data, with the jobless rate coming in right at the 3.6% consensus. Overall household spending contracted -5.6% y/y in September, weaker than the consensus -4.3%.
Eurozone data was mostly weaker than expected. Germany reported September retail sales at -3.2% m/m vs. -0.9% consensus, France reported September consumer spending at -0.8% m/m vs. -0.3% consensus, and Italy unemployment came in at 12.6% vs. 12.4% consensus. Eurozone October headline CPI came in at the 0.4% y/y consensus, up from 0.3% in September, while core rose 0.7% y/y vs. 0.8% consensus. Yesterday, German CPI readings (both headline and core) came in softer than expected. All told, data will surely keep alive the notion that the ECB will need to do more to head off deflation risks.
During the North American session, the US reports Q3 Employment Cost Index as well as September personal income and spending data. October Chicago PMI will also be reported, expected at 60.0 vs. 60.5 in September. Final Michigan consumer confidence is seen steady at 86.4. Elsewhere, Canada reports August GDP, with consensus for flat m/m and 2.3% y/y readings.
The Russian central bank hiked 150 bp to 9.5% vs. consensus for a 50 bp hike. We had warned of the risk of a greater hike. However, we think this smacks of desperation as higher rates are unlikely to do much to help support the currency as weakness is purely structural. S&P kept Russia at BBB- with negative outlook last week, as downgrade risks remain alive even as fundamentals deteriorate. RUB gains Thursday looked like a short squeeze ahead of the central bank meeting, as there was no fundamental news for the huge 3% gain. USD/RUB appears to have posted a key reversal on Thursday, but there has been little follow-though movement in the wake of the rate hike. In related news, it appears that Russia and Ukraine have reached a deal that would allow natural gas shipments to resume.
Brazil markets have so far reacted well to the surprise rate hike. However, what really ails Brazil is the fiscal situation. September budget data will be reported today, with another big primary deficit expected. Consensus reading of –BRL12.6 bln would push the 12-month surplus down to BRL43.95 bln, the lowest total since November 2009. Rousseff will likely get a 3-6 month honeymoon by the rating agencies to get the fiscal numbers back on track. If not, we think Brazil will be moved into junk territory next year. For USD/BRL, support seen near 2.40 and then 2.35, resistance seen near 2.45 and then 2.50.
Mexican central bank meets and is expected to keep rates steady at 3.0%. The central bank sees the latest inflation spike as temporary, and so will not hike rates in response. On the other hand, the bank should paint a fairly upbeat picture of the Mexican economy. An improved US outlook and better Mexico data should keep the bank from cutting rates, so steady rates are likely well into 2015. For USD/MXN, support seen near 13.40 and then 13.20, resistance seen near 13.60.
I overslept which is a rare event.
As you know and I just found out the BOJ surprised the world with a huge stimulus move which has caused stocks to rocket.
Central banks bought 10s. Central banks bought 2s through 5s.
Real money sold very short coupons.
Bank portfolios bought 5 year through 10 year paper.
The WSJ reports that Walmart is considering a program in which its brick and mortar stores will match the prices of online sellers such as Amazon. The story notes that the firm has resisted such an approach previously but with the Christmas selling season nigh and competition intense Walmart might acquiesce and take that course this year.
This is a single anecdote but it is emblematic of the world we live in and the difficult task it will be to reignite the inflationary fires.
Via the WSJ:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is testing a program to match online prices from rivals like Amazon.com Inc. this holiday season, a move that could make the discounter more competitive but cut into profits.
The testing comes ahead of what's shaping up to be a fiercely promotional year-end shopping season.
Wal-Mart executives are discussing whether to go ahead with the price-matching program that would expand its current one for local brick-and-mortar competitors, according to a company spokeswoman Deisha Barnett. Under consideration is how much Wal-Mart might lose if the program were to go nationwide, according to people familiar with the matter.
Ms. Barnett said the company's focus is on taking care of customers and noted that store managers have had discretion to match certain online prices for customers for some time.
Wal-Mart has long resisted matching online prices, even as competitors Best Buy Co. and Target Corp. adopted the practice to keep customers from "showrooming," or browsing its brick-and-mortar stores but subsequently making the purchases at online competitors like Amazon.
But it comes as Wal-Mart is fighting to keep shoppers coming to its stores and to regain its reputation as a low-price leader, which has faded in recent years as dollar stores and online competitors have become more aggressive. According to a June pricing study by consultancy Kantar Retail, a basket of goods at Wal-Mart was just 1.2% cheaper than the same items at Target, the smallest price gap since 2012.
Losing its pricing edge makes it more difficult for Wal-Mart to draw in customers based solely on price, according to Laura Kennedy, who conducted the Kantar study.
Online, Wal-Mart has become more competitive with Amazon, according to research from Wells Fargo and pricing firm 360pi. In the three months through February, Wal-Mart's prices were on par with Amazon's. In August, Wal-Mart's prices dropped to nearly 10% lower than those of Amazon, where prices have been increasing, the research found.
Price matching brings a financial cost but can have a benefit to the retailer's reputation. At Best Buy, the program resulted in a hit to margins, according to Janney Montgomery Scott LLC analyst David Strasser, who said the move was ultimately a smart one because it "put a stake in the ground that it was a serious competitor to Amazon and other online retailers."
Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly last year said he thought the cost of price matching will eventually come down as the gap between prices in stores and online narrows.
The stakes are set to rise even higher ahead of the holiday shopping season, when retailers rake in more than a fifth of their yearly sales. To kick of the holiday promotions, Target announced last week that it would eliminate shipping fees for all online orders from Oct. 22 through Dec. 22, while Amazon announced early access to holiday deals for its Prime members.
Online shopping is expected to snag a greater share of holiday budgets. Consumers plan to do more than 44% of their holiday shopping online this year, up from 31% in 2009, according to the National Retail Federation.
Wal-Mart is struggling to attract shoppers to its massive supercenters. The retailer hasn't booked sales growth in the U.S., excluding newly opened or closed stores, since 2012. The company is investing heavily in e-commerce and in smaller, conveniently located stores. It is also trying to reclaim its pricing advantage.
To that end, the retailer in April rolled out an online and mobile tool called Savings Catcher, which analyzes shopper's receipts and refunds price differences found between Wal-Mart's prices and local competitors.
"We're doubling down to make sure that we show price gaps across the marketplace," Wal-Mart U.S. chief merchant Duncan Mac Naughton told investors earlier this month, noting that nearly 3% of receipts are now submitted through the Savings Catcher tool.
The tool helps Wal-Mart attract customers, and perhaps more important, it gives the retailer visibility into how its prices compare to rivals. Armed with that information, analysts say Wal-Mart can better pressure suppliers for lower prices.

Digital mammography delayed
Last province in nation to start making switch to latest technology
A government initiative to improve breast cancer detection by converting analog mammography machines to digital technology has been delayed by more than a year.
Manitoba is the last province in the country to introduce the newer technology. Some provinces have fully converted to digital mammography, while others have a combination of old and new.
The province had planned to begin phasing in the new machines last year -- it now has 20 analog mammography machines, including two mobile ones.
Now it says the first digital machines won't be in place until a year from now, and a full conversion won't take place for two years.
"It is taking longer than we anticipated for those first digital machines to be put in. We thought it would be done by last year. I'm disappointed, frankly, that that didn't happen," Health Minister Erin Selby said.
Selby blamed IT issues for the delay.
"What I've been told is the different clinics have different programs and that all of those computers need to be able to talk to each other," she said.
Three years ago, a study showed Manitoba had the highest breast cancer mortality rate in Canada along with Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island, Progressive Conservative health critic Myrna Driedger said.
"That in itself should be good motivation for this government to not drag its heels on (improving its mammography technology)," she said.
On its website, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation encourages women to be screened using digital mammography where possible. "Digital mammography is gradually replacing screen-film mammography in Canada. This is because it is better at detecting breast cancer in women in their 40s, women 50-plus who have not gone through menopause and women with clinically diagnosed dense breasts," the foundation says.
Digital mammography is also seen as superior for image storage. And because images can be shared electronically, the technology allows medical professionals to easily obtain advice on an image from colleagues.
Driedger said there's no reason Manitoba should be the only province in Canada not to have digital mammography. She said the Tories have been asking the government to introduce the technology for seven years.
"If other provinces can do it, why do we have to be dead last in Canada to provide women with the best level of early detection that there is?" she said.
"Newfoundland has 14 (digital mammography machines). Why can't Manitoba have one?"
Selby said while she's disappointed at how long the conversion process is taking, it's important the government gets it right.
"We're talking about breast cancer. We can't have mistakes. It needs to be perfect. It needs to be working without fault," she said of a new digital system.
The minister said women should rest assured they can still get their screening done. She said Manitoba has the quickest turnaround in the country for mammogram results.
Benefits of mammography
- Earlier detection of early-stage breast cancers: If breast cancers are detected when they are small and have not spread, most patients can be treated successfully.
- Better treatment options: If results indicate early-stage breast cancer, in most cases, this leads to more treatment options with less invasive forms of treatment (i.e. lumpectomy rather than mastectomy).
- Reduced death and disability from breast cancer: In most cases, the earlier detection and timely treatment of breast cancer reduces the risk of death or long-term disability.
Limitations of mammography
- Some test results show signs of cancer that are ruled out when further testing is done (this is called a false positive). About one in 10 women may be called back for more testing.
- Other test results miss breast cancer (this is called a false negative). These mammograms appear normal even though breast cancer is present. Screening mammograms miss one in nine breast cancers. This type of screening result may lead to a false sense of security and a delay in diagnosis and treatment.
- Some breast cancers that are found by mammography would never become a health problem in the woman's lifetime (i.e. some cancers grow very slowly).
Mammography cannot tell which cancers will not threaten the woman's health from those that will be harmful and must be treated. So all signs of breast cancer are treated as harmful. This limitation is known as over-diagnosis.
