MAPLEWOOD, MO (KPLR) - Exclusive surveillance video captures a cold weather crime: an unattended vehicle stolen as it was warming up.
Jack in the Box employee Marquita Wright was wrapping up her shift on a recent morning when her Mercury Milan disappeared.
"I turned the car on to let it heat up. I came back maybe fifteen minutes later, and it was gone," she said.
Maplewood Police are hoping surveillance video will help them locate the men responsible for the auto theft.
Security video shows the suspects' vehicle, a black Chrysler Town & Country, entering the parking lot of the Jack in the Box restaurant at 7520 Manchester Road. The incident happened in mid-December.
The van can be seen backing into a space next to Wright's vehicle at approximately 7 am. A man exits the passenger side of the van, enters the unlocked Milan, and follows the van past the drive thru and out of the lot.
Maplewood Police Detective David Brown said many drivers take auto thefts for granted during cold weather months. Criminals, he said, cruise around searching for unattended vehicles warming up outside homes, restaurants, and gas stations.
"It's not a particular person they're targeting. It's just an opportunity to find a vehicle that's left running, with the keys inside," Brown said.
The suspects' van was reported stolen and located in Maplewood, Brown said. Wright's stolen Milan was eventually located in north St. Louis. She said the criminals set fire to the seats to destroy any evidence.
"It's sad, because it's my transportation to get back and forth to work, and to get my children to where they need to go. For somebody to steal it, and I just got done paying for it," Wright said.
Brown said during the stretch of freezing temperatures, drivers should think wisely if they plan to warm up their vehicles outside.
"If you're going to have a car running, be outside and be in the car. Otherwise, maybe purchase a remote start system. That way people can't drive away with it. It is [expensive] but it might be worth it. It's cheaper than having to replace your vehicle," he said.

Israel Defence — June 1, 2014
The agreement between the West and Iran is dangerous to Israel," said former Mossad Chief, Meir Dagan. Dagan analyzed the implications of the agreement with Professor Meir Litvak, Director of the Alliance Center for Iranian Studies (ACIS) at Tel-Aviv University, at a special symposium organized by the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center (IICC) and IsraelDefense on May 9. The symposium was hosted by Brig. Gen. (res.) Amnon Sofrin, formerly the IDF Chief Combat Intelligence Officer and Head of the Mossad's Intelligence Division. IICC Chairman, Professor Brig. Gen. (res.) Tzvika Stauber and IICC DG, Brig. Gen. Dudu Tzur, also took part in the panel discussion, whose highlights are outlined below.
In response to Sofrin's question of what had led the Americans to reach an agreement with Iran, Meir Dagan said that in his estimate, the agreement was, of all things, the outcome of the threats made by Israel to attack the Iranian nuclear installations.
"The Americans conducted a situation appraisal in view of the sabre rattling heard in Israel and in view of the threats. In fact, the (US) government was forced to conduct a situation appraisal as to what would happen if Israel attacked. They reached the conclusion that an Israeli strike will be detrimental to US interests in view of the fact that the USA has not yet achieved energetic independence and concerns that US objectives in the region would be attacked in response to the Israeli attack.
"This reality had accelerated, in my estimate, the American decision to reach an agreement. Unfortunately, the timing was premature and (the signature of the agreement) took place just before the Iranians were about to actually collapse as a result of the economic sanctions imposed on them."
Meir Dagan revealed that contrary to prevailing beliefs "The Americans and the Iranians have been communicating for many years. For example, Iran and the USA have quite a few overlapping interests in Iraq, and they are communicating regularly on that matter. In my estimate, the Americans had reached the conclusion that they should neutralize the Israeli strike threat through an agreement with Iran."
In response to Sofrin's question of whether the superpowers really believe that there is a chance that the Iranians would relinquish their nuclear aspirations, Dagan said: "I do not think that is the situation. Timing is everything in life, and the Iranians gained immediate profits at the outset of the negotiations, when the sanctions imposed on them were slackened, while the West received nothing tangible in return. The West operates according to the logic of confidence-building steps initially, but we'll have to see what happens in the next stage."
Professor Litvak said at the symposium that, in his estimate, "The Americans feared that the severe sanctions were about to exhaust themselves when they opted for the agreement." According to him, "The chances that the Iranians would relinquish their nuclear dream are very slim indeed."
"In fact, owing to the agreement, the Iranians were granted a permit to maintain centrifuges and an established status of a threshold state. As far as they are concerned, it is a significant accomplishment. During the agreement period, they will retain their nuclear capabilities and knowledge. The agreement depends entirely on their good will. If they decide not to uphold it – the world will realize that there are more holes in this agreement than in Swiss cheese."
Dagan added that "In a crisis situation, within a short timetable of one to two years, the Iranians would be able to achieve a nuclear capability. Even if that does not amount to military nuclear capabilities, it will be a sufficient deterrent."
According to him, "This is a problematic agreement for Israel. Israel faces a dilemma. What is that dilemma? The Prime Minister decided on a policy of zero or one, namely – all or nothing at all. Because of this policy, Israel is not a part of the process vis-à-vis Iran. If I were in his vicinity today, I would recommend to him that outwardly, the Israeli position, which totally rejects the agreement, would not change, but in effect we must try and get the best out of this agreement.
"Israel has a few other concerns – for example, the neutralization of Iran can also affect Israel's strategic capabilities, which is another reason why Israel is trapped in a catch. I think that the right way out of this catch is to object to the agreement but assimilate relevant points into it.
"For example, the agreement obviously lacks any aspects of supervision of military installations, contrary to civilian nuclear installations, and contains no details regarding the sanctions that will be imposed on Iran if it violates the agreement. They say that in such a case all of the options will be open, but a clear statement is required…
"The only advantage in the agreement, as far as Israel is concerned, has to do with the fact that it positions Israel alongside other countries in the region, in a partnership of interests associated with the Iranian threat as well as with the war in Syria."
Referring to Professor Tzvika Stauber's remark according to which the attempts to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear threshold state have, in fact, failed – Meir Dagan said: "In my estimate, if the Iranians decide to break out of this threshold and become a fully nuclear state, the entire world will have a sufficient early warning because of the supervision, but Israel must assume that Iran is, in fact, a nuclear threshold state."
Regarding the northern front, Meir Dagan said: "The status of the General Secretary of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, within the Arab world has been eroded, while Syria, even if Bashar al-Assad survives, will be forced, in the coming years, to deal with reconstruction and rehabilitation and with the continued survival attempts of the members of the Alawite community."
Professor Litvak said that in any case, Syria will emerge from the civil war "a weakened and ruined country. On the other hand, it will depend more heavily on Hezbollah while the weakness of Hezbollah increases that organization's dependence on Iran, namely – the Iranian influence in the region will increase, if anything."
With regard to the danger posed by the Global Jihad organizations deployed close to Israel's borders with Egypt and Syria, Meir Dagan said that "Those who shout 'Al-Qaeda (men) are on the fences!' are exaggerating, in my view. The Salafists have failed in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan and the foreign elements in Syria are finding themselves drawn into a dual confrontation: against the local population and against the government forces. The Syrian population is far from being extremely religious. The chances of a Jihadist ideology adopted by the regime that will consolidate its hold in Syria are not realistic. At the same time, there is the risk of these groups executing terrorist attacks against Israel."
"The Israeli threats had accelerated the American decision to reach an agreement. Unfortunately, the timing was premature. The agreement is problematic for Israel", Dagan added.

The Max's supplement brand is an institution in Australia, having been around for almost 20 years. Their Max's Challenge has also become one of Australia's most popular transformation challenges in recent years and they've decided to release a range of brand new products to coincide with the Challenge. One of these new supplements is the Max's Transformation Series Lean.
Max's Transformation Series Lean Highlights
- 100% Whey protein blend of whey protein isolate and concentrate
- Added BCAAs (branched chain amino acids), glutamine and creatine for further muscle building and recovery
- Fat loss ingredients including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), green tea extract, L-carnitine and raspberry ketones
- High in protein, low in carbs and fat
Max's Transformation Series Lean Review & Ingredients
The new Transformation Series focuses on extremely simple products with only a handful of ingredients. Lean is a typical blended whey protein with a few additions that make it more of a fat loss protein. The specially designed formula contains:
- Whey Protein Blend – Whey Protein Concentrate and Whey Protein Isolate
- Added Amino Acids – Including leucine, glutamine, isoleucine and valine
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Fat Loss Ingredients – Conjugated linoleic acid, raspberry ketones, green tea extract and L-carnitine
There are some extra ingredients, but they're used for taste and mixability purposes. Each 30g serve of Max's Lean contains 24g of protein, 2.4g of carbs, 0.7g of fat for a total of approximately 112 calories.
Max's Transformation Series Lean Benefits, Pros & Effectiveness
Max's Lean is exactly as it is advertised, a good quality protein powder that helps to support muscle building and recovery, but also fat loss. It's a solid everyday protein and can be used multiple times a day without issue. The added creatine and branched chain amino acids further help to benefit exercise performance, recovery and muscle protein synthesis. The addition of some fat loss compounds is a smart way to provide you with a bit of an extra kick to support a better body composition with less fat and more muscle.
Max's Transformation Series Lean Negatives & Cons
There aren't a whole lot of negatives with Max's Lean. The choice to use Raspberry Ketones isn't the best. While there is some research supporting its use as a fat loss ingredient, the evidence base is poor, so it might have been better for them to exclude this ingredient in favour of higher doses of the other fat loss ingredients. The doses of the other fat loss ingredients are also quite low and you would require a few serves of the protein in order to build up a decent dose of them. Having more than one serve is part of their program, so the lower doses is most likely a calculated decision.
Max's Transformation Series Lean Flavours, Taste & Mixability
Currently Max's Transformation Series Lean is available in two flavours including Swiss Chocolate and Vanilla Milkshake. Max's have always been excellent at creating delicious tasting protein powders and other supplements and the Lean is just as delicious as their original protein Super Whey. It mixes extremely well with very minimal clumping or residue and one can easily drink two or three serves of this daily. One good idea is to actually mix in half a scoop of chocolate and half a scoop of vanilla to give the shake an even better taste profile.
Max's Transformation Series Lean Verdict
The new Max's Lean is an extremely solid protein and is a crucial product of their new Transformation Series. It's high in protein and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) to help boost recovery and also muscle growth. The addition of creatine and some fat loss ingredients will further help you achieve a leaner, more ripped physique along with your training. While it would be better if they forewent the addition of glutamine and raspberry ketones, overall Max's Lean is a tasty and effective way to help you look more muscular and lean.

MANY women who train in the gym experience orgasm while they workout, according to a new study.
Female fitness and bodybuilding fans said they were brought to orgasm when lifting weights or during a spinning session, even if sex was the last thing on their minds. Many simply couldn't stop themselves.
Although the phenomenon was first reported in 1953, 'little is known about exercise-induced orgasms,' according to scientists from Indiana University.
To fill in the gap researcher Debby Herbenick and her team surveyed hundreds of women aged from 18 to 63 who said they had experienced exercise-induced orgasm or sexual pleasure.
They found nearly half of the women had experienced the symptoms on more than 10 occasions.
However, most were not fantasizing at the time or thinking about someone they were attracted to.
Ms Herbenick said: "The most common exercises associated with exercise-induced orgasm were abdominal exercises, climbing poles or ropes, biking/spinning and weight lifting.
"These data are interesting because they suggest that orgasm is not necessarily a sexual event, and they may also teach us more about the bodily processes underlying women's experiences of orgasm."
The exercises most associated with female orgasms (percentage) were:
Abdominal exercises: 51.4%
Weight lifting: 26.5%
Yoga: 20%
Cycling: 15.8%
Running: 13.2%
Walking/hiking: 9.6%
A fifth of those who experienced orgasms said they had no control over the experience and most of them felt self-conscious as a result.

Third Sunday after the Epiphany
January 26, 2014
Text: Matt. 4:12-25
What the Prophet Isaiah writes of the world of his time is just as true of the world in our time: "behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples" (Is. 60:2; ESV). It is the darkness of unbelief. It is the darkness of sin and death. It is the darkness of demonic deception. The whole world was plunged head-long into that darkness when our first parents, Adam and Eve, took that first forbidden taste. And you know that darkness. For it is not just out there, in the world, in the terror and tragedies reported on the evening news. It is in you. It is in your heart and soul. It is in your mind and body. It is in your thoughts and desires, your words and your deeds. It is the siren song of the unbelieving world. It is your own sinful flesh. It leads you by the hand down its dark paths. It turns you inward. It turns you away from others. It wreaks havoc on your relationships. It hurts others. It destroys you. And worst of all, it separates you from God. And so you hate that darkness with every fiber of the new creation that is you in Baptism. But you cannot free yourself from its enveloping grip. There is no light within you that can dispel it. The light must come from outside of you. The only Light that can dispel this darkness is Jesus Christ, the Light of the world.
And He comes. That is the great Good News proclaimed by the Prophet Isaiah, and fulfilled by Jesus in our Holy Gospel: "the people dwelling in darkness," that's you and me, "have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death," again, you and me, "on them a light has dawned" (Matt. 4:16). The Light is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, coming into the world, in the flesh, born of the Virgin Mary, coming right into our darkness and bearing it, bearing our sin, bearing our death, bearing our brokenness, and taking it to the cross to nail it there, killing it, and burying it in His tomb forever. Jesus Christ is the only Light that can dispel the darkness once and for all. As St. John writes, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:5). So victorious is our Lord Jesus over the darkness that He marches freely and willingly right into the darkness of death for you and for me, and that darkness cannot contain Him. Even there the Light dispels the darkness, for Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. And He will raise you, too, on the Last Day, in your body, and in the meantime, He gives you eternal life now, in your Baptism into Him.
It's not just that the Light came into the darkness long ago, when Christ was born, when He was visibly present in His earthly ministry. That is certainly true, and it is true on a cosmic level. That is the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy. But so also Jesus Christ, your Light, comes to you right here and now, today, in the very midst of your darkness. He does it in His Word preached. In fact, that is how He spread His Light in His earthly ministry, as recorded in our Holy Gospel. What did Jesus do in fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy? He began to preach. That is what St. Matthew tells us: "From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'" (Matt. 4:17). Repent, which is to say, confess that you are in darkness and unable to do anything about it. Confess your sin. Confess your doubt. Confess your dying and death. And then know for certain this glorious Good News that the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Not just near, as some English translations have it. That gives the impression that it isn't quite here yet. No, the Kingdom is at hand, the Kingdom has arrived, it is upon you, it is right here, right now, in the flesh, in the person of the Savior who preaches and is preached. So for you in your darkness, the cure for your darkness is right here where Jesus is preached for the forgiveness of your sins.
So often when we feel the pervasive and engulfing darkness all around us, the devil deceives us so that we think the last place we should be is at Church. Maybe he has convinced us that we aren't worthy to be here, as if the Church were anything other than a hospital for sinners, as if it is only the healthy who need a physician and not the sick, as if the Savior came only to call the righteous (whoever they are) and not sinners. Or perhaps the devil has convinced us that being at Church won't really help anyway, as if the Church is some dispensary of advice that may or may not apply instead of the House of God where the living Lord Jesus Christ is really present for us with His Word and with His Body and Blood, to forgive our sins, to heal our very real maladies, and to give us life eternal and abundant. Maybe we are afraid that Church will make us feel bad about ourselves, because we know that the Word of God has this way of exposing our sin, dragging it out of the darkness, shining the Light of Christ upon it, so that it must be dealt with in repentance and the blood-soaked forgiveness of our crucified Savior. The devil twists this in our minds into bad news instead of good. Because it is a painful experience. Like life-saving surgery, it is always good news when it can be performed, but it isn't a pleasant experience. The plain fact is that, though we loathe the darkness, we are, by nature, more comfortable in the dark than in the light, as St. John puts it in his Gospel: "this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19).
But this is the radical thing that Jesus does when He is in our midst. He takes the darkness and makes it light. And that is to create something out of nothing. What is darkness? It is not a substance. It is rather an absence, an absence of light. Light is something. Light is made of particles. Light is made of rays. And where there is light, there is no darkness. The two do not go together. You cannot have nothing where there is something. Darkness only exists where light is deficient or not present. So when the perfect Light that is Jesus Christ comes into your darkness, the darkness cannot abide. It's gone. Where there was nothing, there is now something. Where there was sin, there is now righteousness. Where there was Judgment, there is now forgiveness. Where there was death, there is now life. Where the devil once reigned, the Kingdom of heaven is at hand in the person of Jesus, who has snatched you from the devil and made you His own to live under Him in His Kingdom. And this has far reaching consequences for all the places the darkness has wreaked havoc and destruction in your life. This Light now claims your heart and soul, your mind and body for Himself. As He called Andrew and Simon, James and John, to be His disciples, to follow Him, so He calls you to be His disciples, to follow Him, to hear and believe His preaching and teaching, and to confess His Name as fishers of men. He reconciles you to God. As Jesus went about healing diseases and afflictions and casting out demons, so He brings health and healing to you, spiritually now, and maybe even physically, although that is not the promise… The promise is complete spiritual and Physical restoration and healing in the Resurrection of the dead. And, of course, where Jesus is, the demons must flee. If you acknowledge that the devil and his demons are real, and if you know that they delight to bring you into this darkness, then I'll tell you this: You must come to Church when they are oppressing you. You must flee to the Word of Christ and His Sacrament when the darkness envelops you. There is no other place to be than where Christ is for you! For there the demons and the darkness cannot abide.
For this Light brings you out of the darkness, out of yourself, and turns you (repents you!) toward God in faith in His mercy, and toward your neighbor in love. That means it will even help you in your relationships. The Light of Christ turns a husband toward his wife in such a way that he gives himself up for her, as Christ gave Himself up into death for the Church in love. It turns a wife toward her husband in such a way that she willingly submits to him in love and humility, as the Church submits to Christ. It turns the hearts of parents toward their children, and children toward their parents. It turns your heart to forgive as you have been forgiven. It turns your heart to mercy, as you have been shown mercy. Because where all these things did not exist in the nothingness that is the darkness, they now exist in the very real something that is the Light of Christ, which is His gift to you.
So, beloved, Good News this morning: "the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light [Christ!], and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light [Christ!] has dawned." It is happening right now in the preaching, and it will happen in a few moments in the Holy Supper. Christ, your Light, now rises upon you. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son (+), and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

About 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from heart disease can be prevented in people at high risk if they switch to a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, fruits and vegetables, and even drink wine with meals, a large and rigorous new study has found.
About 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from heart disease can be prevented in people at high risk if they switch to a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, fruits and vegetables, and even drink wine with meals, a large and rigorous new study has found.
The findings, published on The New England Journal of Medicine's website Monday, were based on the first major clinical trial to measure the diet's effect on heart risks. The magnitude of the diet's benefits startled experts. The study ended early, after almost five years, because the results were so clear it was considered unethical to continue.
The diet helped those following it even though they did not lose weight and most of them were already taking statins, or blood pressure or diabetes drugs to lower their heart disease risk.
"Really impressive," said Rachel Johnson, a professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont and a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association. "And the really important thing — the coolest thing — is that they used very meaningful end points. They did not look at risk factors like cholesterol or hypertension or weight. They looked at heart attacks and strokes and death. At the end of the day, that is what really matters."
Until now, evidence that the Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of heart disease was weak, based mostly on studies showing that people from Mediterranean countries seemed to have lower rates of heart disease — a pattern that could have been attributed to factors other than diet.
And some experts had been skeptical that the effect of diet could be detected, if it existed at all, because so many people are already taking powerful drugs to reduce heart disease risk, while other experts hesitated to recommend the diet to people who already had weight problems, since oils and nuts have a lot of calories.
Heart disease experts said the study was a triumph because it showed that a diet was powerful in reducing heart disease risk, and it did so using the most rigorous methods.
Scientists randomly assigned 7,447 people in Spain who were overweight, were smokers, or had diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease to follow the Mediterranean diet or a low-fat one.
Low-fat diets have not been shown in any rigorous way to be helpful, and they are also very hard for patients to maintain — a reality borne out in the new study, said Dr. Steven E. Nissen, chairman of the department of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
The study, by Dr. Ramon Estruch, a professor of medicine at the University of Barcelona, and his colleagues, was long in the planning. The investigators traveled the world, seeking advice on how best to answer the question of whether a diet alone could make a big difference in heart disease risk. They visited the Harvard School of Public Health several times to consult Dr. Frank M. Sacks, a professor of cardiovascular disease prevention there.
In the end, they decided to randomly assign subjects at high risk of heart disease to three groups.
One would be given a low-fat diet and counseled on how to follow it. The other two groups would be counseled to follow a Mediterranean diet.
At first the Mediterranean dieters got more intense support. They met regularly with dietitians while the low-fat group just got an initial visit to train them in how to adhere to the diet followed by a leaflet each year on the diet. Then the researchers decided to add more intensive counseling for them, too, but they still had difficulty staying with the diet.

No. 6 Oklahoma routs St. Gregory's
Turang, Williams lead OU past Cavaliers
NORMAN, Okla. -- Sixth-ranked Oklahoma scored early and often as the Sooners (6-1) blanked St. Gregory's 9-0 in five innings on Wednesday afternoon at the OU Softball Complex. Brianna Turang was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate, scoring two runs, and Brittany Williams went 2-for-3 with four runs batted in on two home runs.
Allee Allen (1-0) made her first start of the season and allowed just two hits, two walks and struck out three in the 5.0 inning performance.
OU scored its first three runs in the bottom of the first when Turang reached on a single and stole second before Haley Nix drew a walk. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch before Williams belted her first home run of the game to give the Sooners an early 3-0 lead.
Chana'e Jones made her first of two stellar defensive plays in the top of the second, diving to tag first base before St. Gregory's Autumn Brown could reach the base.
Oklahoma added two in the second as OU had the bases loaded thanks to an error and back-to-back singles from Turang and Destinee Martinez. Ali Vandever then scored on another Cavalier miscue and Turang scored on a Nix sacrifice fly to push OU in front 5-0.
Jones added a second web gem in the third, going to her backhand to get the ball and make the throw in time to get Shelby Wheeler out to end the inning
Dani Dobbs reached after being hit by a pitch in the third and scored on Katie Norris' double to center as the Sooners led 6-0 through three. Oklahoma added three in the fourth when Nix singled to reach base and scored on Shults' fifth home run of the year. Williams then made it 9-0 with her second long ball of the game.
After getting a runner to third in the top of the fifth, pinch hitter Sutton Halferty flied into a double play to end the game.

Why Bond Market Bulls Are About to Get Crushed(Int
Why Bond Market Bulls Are About to Get Crushed
L: We are speaking today with Casey Research Chief Economist Bud Conrad. Bud, in my mind, the thing that makes your insights so valuable is that you're not actually a career economist with a Ph.D. in the subject. You are an engineer, and you bring an engineer's systems analysis perspective to bear on economic questions. So, how does the system of the world's economy look to you today? Is it really on the mend, as so many economists are saying?
Bud: That's a very broad question. Thanks for mentioning my background. We so often see economists arguing with economists about their points of view. I think it helps to step back and have a fresh look at things, focusing on what the data tell us, rather than focusing on their ideas based on theories... which I don't think are correct.
L: That reminds me of the old joke about a physicist, engineer, and an economist stranded on a deserted island. The only food they have is a can of beans, but they have no can opener. The physicist has an idea to use fire to open the can, but that would ruin the beans. The engineer has an idea to use rocks to open the can, but that would ruin the beans as well. The economist says: "Let's assume a can opener."
Bud: [Chuckles] I have to say, I really do think that the intellectual bedrock of modern economics is very weak. The reality today is that governments around the world - not just the United States, but also in Europe with the ECB and Japan with Abe's mandate to the Bank of Japan requiring it to maintain an inflation rate of 2%, and other governments as well - they are all moving in the direction of printing more money. The United States is not the worst offender, but only because we have a rich country that can afford substantial deficits.
We have a system in which the government finds it easy to print money in an effort to meet everyone's needs. Those needs include the baby-boomer generation going into retirement, with $75 trillion in future obligations, and a large and ever-growing military - much larger in proportion to GDP than what any other country in the world is maintaining. Coupled with this, we have a lack of interest in raising taxes among politicians, who see that as unpopular with voters. The politicians have no will to fix our deficits.
The deficit has been papered over by the Fed printing money. However, the problem is not a matter of just this last year. Nor is it just this last recessionary period that started in 2008. The bubbles really started forming back in the 1990s when Greenspan turned on the spigots after the 1987 stock market crash. That brought on the first modern big bubble, the one in tech stocks. The dot-com bubble was very large, and its bursting should have been a lesson and a warning about what was to come.
In response to the crash that followed the popping of the dot-com bubble, Greenspan lowered interest rates to around 1%. At the time, that was a new record in easy-money policy on the part of the Fed. This led to the housing bubble. The bursting of this bubble was not well predicted, not by most people, but it was by me.
L: When and where, Bud?
Bud: I predicted the end of the housing bubble back in 2006, when you and I were both working on the International Speculator, before we pulled out the big-picture economics and started publishing that material in The Casey Report. There was an issue in 2006 called The Coming Currency Crisis in which we said the housing bubble was bursting. But in 2007, Bernanke was still saying that the problems in the housing sector were contained. Of course, it is the nature of his job to avoid frightening people with dire comments, but in looking at the minutes of the Fed meetings it's clear that they really didn't have a clue as to what was going on.
L: Ah, I remember that one. We got a lot of things right - made me laugh to see Bernanke on TV after the crisis hit in 2008, saying that no one could have seen it coming.
Bud: Indeed. I knew we were in a bubble, just looking at the subprime lending phenomenon. Many in the mortgage industry knew we were in a bubble. The Fed's response to the bursting of the housing bubble and everything else that's gone wrong since 2008 has inflated a third bubble - the bond bubble, which I think is now peaking. It's harder to predict when a bubble will burst than to identify the fact that we're in one, which is what I'm saying now.
We have the lowest interest rates in 250 years - lower than at any time since the founding of the country - created by the Federal Reserve forcing interest rates to zero in the short term. In addition, we have the Fed encouraging banks to help lower rates through buying Treasuries. On top of this, we also have some $350 trillion of swaps derivatives of interest rates - more than half of all the derivatives out there are interest-rate derivatives. Banks use these swaps to transmit lower rates to other debt instruments based on what can they can get from the Fed. This drives all rates down.
L: Sounds pretty questionable... Good thing the government saved us from evil bankers in 2008, cleaned house, and set us all on the path to righteousness.
Bud: I don't think our financial situation is any more solid than before the crisis. We've still got many undisclosed, not yet written down, toxic financial items out there. It may be better than the middle of the worst part of the crisis, but that's not saying much.
L: So what happens next?
Bud: We've seen 30 years of declining interest rates. I think we'll begin to see them move in the other direction this year. I think rates on everything from high-yield corporate bonds to government bonds - which are considered the safest - are way lower than they should be. Consider the high probability of inflation ahead, the currency exchange rate risk, and the eventual default risk. All three risks are totally undiscounted by the market, because of the distortion created by the Fed. That will hit its limit at some point.
Some people say the Fed can keep up its juggling act forever. I don't agree.
L: Doug has been describing the bond market as "a triple threat to your capital" for some time now. I understand that it is difficult to predict exactly when a market bubble will pop, but can you give us some indicators to watch for? What would be conclusive evidence that the popping is actually under way?
Bud: That's a tough question. I've done extensive work on when countries explode. The premier take away from Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff's best-selling book, This Time Is Different, is that when debt gets to 90% of GDP, that's when things get risky. Well, we have $15 trillion in GDP and $16.4 trillion of debt. That's well-publicized now, because of the political wrangling over the debt ceiling, which we've actually already exceeded.
L: So we're already in the red zone?
Bud: We do have some advantages over other countries. We have a big military, which does cost us, but also tends to make other powers more cooperative. Most of our debt is denominated in our own currency, which gives us a big advantage over a smaller country that has debt denominated in US dollars - if their currencies fall against the dollar, their troubles are compounded. So we can probably push things further than the 90% threshold. That's not a hard number by the way, just an average within a fairly wide footprint.
However, with our level of debt to GDP, most countries would already be looking at something on the order of 10% interest rates, whereas we've got something in the neighborhood of 2% for the 10-year Treasury. This is an extreme distortion from what the market would dictate under such circumstances.
So, will interest rates start rising now that we're over 100% debt to GDP? I know rates can't go much lower, so I expect they will be heading up from here. Look at the trillion dollars a year in new debt we're accumulating, and consider that in four years we will have more than $20 trillion in government debt. At 5% interest, that would require a trillion dollars a year in interest payments. We only collect $2.5 trillion in federal taxes. I don't see how we could reach such a number without something breaking. That's four years away, but since we know it's coming, we should already be preparing for the problems that can be anticipated.
All that's needed for things to break down is some event that causes a panic. Such an event might be some foreign government with a huge trade surplus with the US that it has invested in US Treasuries deciding that the 2% they're getting paid to hold them is not worth it in the face of 5% inflation in the things they need to buy, like raw materials. If something like that were to happen, it could spark a race to head for the exits on US bonds. This highlights a real Achilles heel we have, compared to other countries that don't have as huge a trade deficit as we do.
L: So a good sign that the balloon is going up would be that the interest rates start rising despite the government's efforts to keep them down?
Bud: Yes. There will come a time when the Fed announces a new easing program and the market ignores the announcement so that rates rise rather than fall, and stocks fall rather than rise. At that point the game is surely over.
Watching interest rates is certainly important in terms of keeping track of the turning tide. If they move from 2% toward 4% - which is not a very large change in historical terms - they could then accelerate and push the whole mess off a cliff very quickly.
L: The Keynesians will just answer that all this deficit spending will stimulate the economy, which will then grow at a more rapid rate and enable us to afford the debt. But is that even possible? Wouldn't we need a double-digit GDP growth rate, such as China used to enjoy, to pull that off?
Bud: Well, in the simplest terms, if your debt is growing faster than your GDP, you won't ever be able to pay it off. It's simple math.
Now if you look at the kind of debt problems governments get into, there comes a critical point at which people recognize that the problem is too big to be solved. The most recent high-profile example of this is what happened to Greece. In such a case, there are only a few things you can do. The first is to find someone bigger to bail you out. Greece found that the ECB was able to bail it out - at least for a time, but they're still in trouble. The United States is too big for that.
The second thing you can do is to hope you can grow out of it, as you just suggested some might argue. The US's debt growth has been bigger than GDP growth for decades. It's just not credible to argue that we can grow our way out of our debt.
The next alternative is to simply declare default, as Argentina and Russia have done, among others. This is what many countries along the southern fringe of Europe are likely to do, in my opinion. The public in these countries is rebelling against the austerity plans the ECB is requiring. Default of some kind is their only alternative. Default is very destructive in the short term, greatly reducing the ability of governments to borrow and spend in the future. It's also politically very unpalatable, especially in places like the US, where most people can't even conceive of their government defaulting on its obligations.
This leaves only one alternative: printing money to try to kick the can down the road. This is the path we are on. It too is highly destructive, but that destruction is hidden and delayed. It is not, however, sustainable, and I think we will see a breakdown in the not-too-distant future.
L: How "not-too-distant?"
Bud: My current intuition is that we will begin to see this happening in the near term, meaning this year. As that gets going, it will build momentum and accelerate. That's my current prediction: the third bubble created by the many years of easy money policy by the Fed, the bond bubble, will pop soon.
L: In discussing this last week, Doug and I likened this to a house of cards. Everyone knows it's shaky, and nobody wants to get caught when it comes down. That means that when it starts, the collapse should come very quickly. Do you think we could see a 2008 level of crisis arising from the bursting of this bubble as early as this year?
Bud: I don't want to predict exactly what will happen when, but I am willing to say that we have seen the lows in interest rates and they will start rising this year.
L: That's still a bold statement. Do you have a theory as to why European countries - most of which are far more overtly socialist than the United States - are struggling to embrace austerity measures, while in the US, aside from some small budget cuts generating big headlines, there's no real consideration being given to actually trying to live within our means?
Bud: I would simply say that the Europeans have better PR. I really don't think they are that much different. The ECB has said it will do whatever it takes to defend the euro - that means printing more euros. The public statements about austerity have been effective enough that they haven't had to do much printing in the last six months, but Europe looks no better off to me now than it did six months ago. France is weakening greatly, and that's one of the pillars of strength being relied upon to help carry the others. The ECB is kind of a paper tiger. It's supposed to be able to print up money and rely on the strong countries to back them up. But can anyone take the idea of France bailing out Italy and Spain seriously? It's just another house of cards.
Most people don't realize that not only is there the ECB, but each country has its own central bank. While in theory the central bank of each country is not allowed to print euros, a loophole that is not understood is that the TARGET2 money transfer system causes them to enlarge their balance sheets. This is the same thing as printing money. This is particularly true of the German Bundesbank, which is owed money by the ECB, which is owed money by Spain and other importing countries. The system is unsustainable, and I think the process of collapse is starting, though it may take a while to gather momentum. I admit that I'm surprised by the current relative strength of the euro. I think that it will weaken from here.
I see enough problems in the world's financial system and our own to say that while the dollar may not look particularly weak in foreign exchange, all of these paper currencies are tragically flawed. At some point people will wake up to their lack of intrinsic value and not care whether it's pesos or dollars you're offering them - they won't take anything backed by nothing.
L: Gee, Bud, you're as gloomy as Doug!
Bud: [Laughs] It's not a contest! It's just what the data are telling me: Europe is in recession. Next up is Japan, which is trying to bail itself out for the 43rd time in the last 20 years by printing money. I think the US will be the third domino to fall - I think we're heading for stagflation by the end of this year.
L: We should also probably warn people against speculating in real estate, because even though those assets are real, real estate is going to get slaughtered if interest rates rise.
Bud: Good point. But the fact remains that the size of this bubble is bigger than the other two that have popped already. The debt market is on the order of $53 trillion across all sorts of debt. The stock market is only $15 trillion. The home real-estate market is $20 trillion. So when the debt market crashes, it'll be two or three times worse than the previous bubbles bursting. The resulting wealth transfer will be much larger than most economists can even understand - most don't really focus on debt. It's critical that the measuring stick they're using, the dollar, is made of rubber. They are going to be caught off guard, and many people are going to be wiped out.
L: Okay, so how do we position ourselves to invest?
Bud: I don't know if I would pick an inverse interest rate ETF or futures market short position yet. The fundamental thing is not to keep your cash in a bank account that is essentially paying you a zero interest rate. I look to invest in safe-haven assets like the precious metals, essential needs like energy, and real estate - particular things like productive agricultural real estate. I might even add stocks in general to the list...
L: Doug disagrees on that last one.
Bud: Mainstream economists are saying that the worst is over and that the blue chips will head higher. I'm saying the worst is not over, and with inflation on the way, higher nominal stock prices will not translate to big returns in real terms. They might do better than your .01% CD, but the gains will not be attractive in terms of increased purchasing power. I didn't recommend stocks because I think they're going to be big winners, but simply as a way to avoid losing money on bank deposits. I'd rather own gold, personally. But the important thing to understand is that as paper money is being made worthless, we need to protect ourselves.
L: Okay, I get it. I think I need a beer... or better yet, a hug from my children - that always makes me feel better. But I do appreciate your candid assessment. It helps to explain some of the things Doug's guru-vision has been telling us. Thanks. I think.
Bud: You're welcome. Thanks for giving me a chance to give my warning. I just hope people will listen.

Encrypted, remote backup
So, I'm a big fan of backups. I'm a bigger fan of differential backups. My personal favorite method of doing them is using the rdiff-backup script on a linux box. What happens when you have sensitive information that you need to remotely backup. Do you upload a new encrypted file of everything every night? Do …

How to Get to San Blas?
We recommend you flying to San Blas. Our fleet is located at the eastern side of this archipelago. To arrive this place it is necessary to flight straight to Corazon de Jesus Island. Flying to San Blas is more comfortable and faster than any other way to get there. From Panama City the flight takes 35 minutes versus 3 hour the road. The views are amazing, just imagine 365 island at your feet.
Flight in Style
Tired of crowded airports or uncomfortable itineraries? San Blas Sailing can also help you renting a plane or helicopter from almost anywhere (within Panama) at your schedule and without delays.
Drive to Carti, San Blas
Even if the new road is totally paved, the hills are though requiring a lot of traction on each wheel, the car must be 4X4 or 4X2. From Panama City to San Blas it takes approximately 2.5 hours.
- Make sure you have confirmed with a San Blas Sailing Adviser on which pier you are embarking (San Blas has 3 piers).
- From Panama City take the Corredor Sur as if you are going to the Tocumen International Airport, but instead of entering the airport continue straight until you exit the Corredor Sur.
- Follow by the exit of the Corredor Sur you will see the towns of 24 de Diciembre (+20 minutes), Pacora (+30 minutes) and finally Chepo (+20 minutes) .
- After the town of Chepo there is an AB gas station at your right hand (continue straight), and just 10 minutes after that gas station you will see the entrance of San Blas at your left hand, turn to the left (this part has no deviations).
- After 1 hour you will reach the first of 2 checkpoints, where you will pay The Kuna Entrance Tax, $10 per person. 10 minutes later you will reach the second checkpoint, where everyone will be asked for the passport.
- You have reached San Blas

Maryam of My Marrakesh Travels to Rwanda
Almost a year ago now Maryam, a human rights and democracy specialist and blogger at My Marrakesh travelled to Rwanda. In a series of searching and poignant blog posts, she told the stories of the people she encountered and the things she learned. This is an amazing set of posts that is colourful and easy to read; not an objective newspaper article or staid historical text but the experiences of one woman reaching out to others.

Brazil versus Portugal stirs up a Luso-world of geographic, historical, and cultural associations. In 1808, the Portuguese court fled Napoleon's marauding army, bringing the entire imperial apparatus to Rio de Janeiro. Brazil was the only colony to have ruled over its metropole. It's pointless to point out all of the connections, but interesting to note that the Portuguese flag hangs in abundance in Rio de Janeiro.
There isn't too much riding on this game, other than a strategic positioning for the second round. I would be shocked and amazed to see anything but a draw here. The first place in Group G will cross with the second place in Group H, which is very much up in the air, could be Chile or Spain. Portugal will qualify in second place with one point, and Brazil will qualify regardless, so it would be an act of fratricide for Brazil to win.
It's not going to happen. 1-1.
Dunga will get to experiment with some other players and rest a few stars in the middle of the second half (Robinho, Maicon, Luis Fabiano). If an equalizer doesn't happen "naturally," look for the referee to balance the scales.
Dunga will replace the suspended Kaká with Julio Batista. Yesterday's headline in the OGlobo sports section: "The beast in the place of the crack: someone who Dunga trusts, Julio Baptista is the only bachelor on the team but has a wedding planned with a Spanish model after the World Cup."
Nothing but high quality reporting here.
The coverage of the World Cup in OGlobo and on OGlobo networks has been horrible. There is a total überload of information, none of which actually says anything that provides deeper insight into what is going on. To the contrary, in the lead-up to the Ivory Coast match, OGlobo continued to publish photos that were very explicit in their portrayal of Africans. I have included the photos and captions with translations. I am not sure what to say about them but wow, the animalization, Orientalization, generalization and blatant classism combine to make a powerful broth of racism that you can sip one day at time. Delicious!
I do hope you foreign correspondents out there will publish similar things about Brazil four years from now. Some indigenous folk with bows and arrows, lip discs, painted faces, headdresses, the symbiotic nature-culture-Avatar thing will be a good start.

FXX Will Launch With a Labor Day Parks and Recreation Marathon
Aptly titled "Treat Yo Self."
Securing its first non-NBC airtime, Parks and Recreation will open FX's comedy-centric offshoot FXX on Labor Day with a daylong stretch of reruns. The aptly titled "Treat Yo Self" marathon will kick off at 7 a.m. EST and run until almost midnight. Sure, you could do this on Netflix, but it bodes well for FXX's taste, especially when the episodes will include Ron Swanson's cornrows and April and Andy's sneaky wedding. FXX will premiere new seasons of The League, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell on Sept. 4.

Advice for China's new guard
As China prepares for a once-a-decade transition, there seems to be no shortage of problems its new leadership will face -- from the economic slowdown, rampant corruption, ethnic unrest, a growing rich-poor gap, migration pressures, environmental pollution and ideological disillusionment. The Washington Post asked influential thinkers in China and the United States for their advice to Xi Jinping and others in China's next generation of leaders.

Modern pentathletes fence using an epee, which is a sharp-pointed duelling sword with its end blunted. The target area is the entire body from head to toe. Bouts last for one minute, or until one hit or touch is scored. Pentathletes fence every pentathlete in the competition, in a round robin format. Points are awarded according to the ratio of bouts won to bouts lost.
The ultimate part of the fencing competition is the Bonus Round, based on the results of the Fencing Ranking Round. The points achieved by the pentathletes in the Ranking Round are carried over to the Bonus Round.
The first bonus round bout is the pentathlete ranked last against the pentathlete one position above. The winner of the bout remains on the piste and the referee calls the next pentathlete ranked one position above. The Fencing Bonus Round continues until all pentathletes have fenced. Each victory in the bonus round corresponds to 1 point.
Complete rules for Pentathlon are available on the Union International de Pentathlon Moderne Website:

Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School #1) (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Set in the same world as the New York Times bestselling Parasol Protectorate, this young adult steampunk series debut is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor Gail Carriger's legions of fans have come to adore.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners--and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage--in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.
About the Author
New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger writes to cope with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. She survived her early years by reading most of her local library and memorizing Greek battles. Eventually she escaped small town life and inadvertently acquired several degrees in Higher Learning. In pursuit of further finishing, Ms. Carriger traveled the historic cities of Europe, subsisting entirely on biscuits secreted in her handbag. In the Finishing School series, she takes her readers back to a time before the Parasol Protectorate, explaining the mysteries of her steampunk world and visiting a few old friends.
