CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will take on the Houston Dynamo in Sunday's Cinco de Mayo clash at The Home Depot Center.
A few links, match ups to watch and my predicted lineup is below...
*LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's update on LA's injured quartet of Carlo Cudicini, Landon Donovan, Todd Dunivant and Robbie Keane, who all missed LA's game against RSL last week.
*Speaking of Arena, here are his thoughts on his counterpart on Sunday, Houston Dynamo boss Dominic Kinnear.
*The Dynamo will be without Brad Davis because of a red card suspension while LA will be without Jack McBean due to injury. However, Carlo Cudicini seems ready to go.
*Can Jose Villarreal parlay a successful U.S. U-20 camp into a start for LA?
*Injuries to Robbie Keane and Todd Dunivant have the two starters questionable, this may open up another chance for Charlie Rugg and Greg Cochrane.
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan has provided this preview to the match.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
A.J. DELAGARZA vs. GILES BARNES
DeLaGarza's speed and positioning will be vital to deal with Barnes, who is Houston's leading goal scorer. Expect DeLaGarza to attempt to limit space for Barnes, who can strike from distance.
JOSE VILLARREAL vs. BOBBY BOSWELL
The veteran Dynamo center back will be tested by the in-form Villarreal. Expect the young forward to attempt to lure Boswell out of position and open up space for the likes of Landon Donovan and Mike Magee.
LANDON DONOVAN/MIKE MAGEE vs. CORY ASHE/KOFI SARKODIE
The battles that will decide the game: Houston will look to put pressure on LA immediately with their marauding outside backs, but Donovan and Magee will be key to leading the charge on the counter.
Cudicini; Franklin, Gonzalez, DeLaGarza, Cochrane; Donovan, Juninho, Sarvas, Magee; Rugg, Villarreal

Snell refuses to certify flip-face helmets, so no flip-face helmet can ever be certified by Snell.
I've had mine for two years, and I love it. The foam lining of my prior Shoei Multitec compressed over several years, rendering it eventually too large for my head. The C3 is as snug today as it was the day I bought it at my local BMW dealer.
I ride year-round in Seattle, and the helmet simply won't fog the visor no matter how cold and how wet it gets. The integrated sun visor works brilliantly, and I'll never own another helmet without that feature. Not having to ever mess with sunglasses inside the helmet is priceless!
Despite being festooned with all these features, it's also one of the lightest helmets on the market. If you ride long days, your neck will appreciate the lighter weight at the end of the day.
I've had no issues with buffeting on either my fully-faired RTP or my minimally-faired GSA, and it's been measured by several of the m/c magazines as the quietest helmet on the market. To my knowledge, it's also the only helmet where it's quiet enough inside that earplugs become optional instead of mandatory.
When I need a new helmet, I'll be getting another C3 - unless of course Schuberth has supplanted the C3 with a new model.
As far as long-term ownership costs are concerned, I've found Schuberth customer support to be stellar. When a faceshield retention lever somehow fell out, they quickly sent me several replacement parts at no charge. If you're experiencing premature failures, I'd highly recommend contacting Schuberth North America directly for assistance.

An enormous electrically powered open cast excavator needed to move 25 miles from one mine to another. Dis-assembly was an option but costly and slow. A lateral solution was needed.
The intention was to drive the excavator using its own electric motors to provide motive power. Aggreko calculated that six 1,250 kW generators would be needed to provide adequate current. After careful preparation and meticulous planning the journey commenced. The trip took several weeks, far faster than disassembly and moving the excavator in component parts.
By providing on-site power to drive the motors, Aggreko was able to move the machine in one piece. This meant that there was considerable saving in time and cost as no disassembly was required. An epic journey was completed without a hitch and the excavator installed in a new mine. In a few weeks production recommenced.

Hi! I love Harry Potter and anything that has to do with Harry Potter. Enough said. :)
I've always loved to write. I discoverd fanfiction about a year ago, and I fell in love with some of the stories I've read. I decided to write some of my own!
My three favorite types of stroies to read are Next Generation, Lily/ James, and Marauders Era. I am a strong Ron/ Hermione shipper, and I also enjoy cannon ships.
Please review what I write, because reading reviews makes my day!!

Fibric Acid
Fenofibric acid is used together with a proper diet to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride (fat-like substances) levels in the blood. This may help prevent the development of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) caused by high levels of triglycerides in the blood.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of fenofibric acid in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Older adults
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of fenofibric acid in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving fenofibric acid.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.

Down Low: Take A Look At All The Women NFL Baller Kerry Rhodes Dated Before He Was Exposed As Gay!
Sorry to break it to you ladies…
It shouldn't matter if Kerry Rhodes is gay or not, but when Rhodes came out publicly and said he wasn't gay, he opened a gross can of worms. Yesterday, we exclusively broke the story of Kerry's alleged boyfriend and their very passionate relationship together. But, these accusations are faily recent. Kerry hasn't always been known to like to play tight end with the man-meat.
Hit the flip to take a gander at some of the gals that Kerry has been linked to before his butt pirate shenanigans got exposed…
K.Michelle– Either be with a man that beats you or likes to mess with other men?
Update: A spokesperson for K.Michelle reached out to BOSSIP to let us know she never dated Kerry, but considers him "like a brother."
Chrisette Michelle– Maybe she was looking for some inspiration for a song. You know the one about a man who doesn't really love a woman…
Vivica A. Fox– We all know Viv loves the younger men but not the ones like other men. Her boy had a boyfriend!

Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
600 Atlantic Avenue
Boston, MA 02210
Map It!
Federal Reserve Plaza is a Class A office tower consisting of a 33-story high rise and a 4-story low rise, encompassing a total of 1,078,903 square feet of floor space. The building is owned and managed by its primary occupant, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Two-thirds of the building is occupied by the Federal Reserve Bank, and the remaining one-third is occupied by commercial office tenants. The tower portion of the building includes 27 floors of open office space. The building is positioned as an anchor to Boston?s Financial District and enjoys spectacular views of Boston Harbor and Logan Airport. The building sits on a one-block, 5.7-acre plot in the South Station area, one of the two major public transportation centers in downtown Boston.
Federal Reserve Plaza proudly boasts the most ?green space? of any high rise building in the city, including one of the oldest and most renowned roof gardens, more than 150 shade trees, and nearly 100 species of flowers and shrubs. As the gateway to the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, the building provides a pedestrian friendly garden for all to enjoy.
The building was designed by Hugh Stubbins & Associates. Construction of the building began in 1972, and since its opening in 1978, it has long been a prominent Boston landmark, immediately recognizable with its ?wash board? appearance and aluminum facade. At a time when energy efficiency was not a priority, Hugh Stubbins, the building?s architect, possessed the foresight to incorporate energy conservation characteristics into the design. The wash board facade of the building reduces energy use by taking advantage of seasonal sun loads in the winter and providing shade in the summer.
In addition to having an energy-friendly design, the building has a management team focused on implementing practices that promote energy efficiency and sustainability by effectively managing environmental risks, energy conservation, and sustainable strategies.
Federal Reserve Plaza has earned recognition by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) as a 2009 Office Building of the Year recipient and as a 2010 Earth Award recipient. The building also earned U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification in 2010 along with BOMA?s 360 designation.
Federal Reserve Plaza management is committed to identifying opportunities to improve the building?s environmental risk mitigation practices, energy conservation measures, and sustainable strategies.
Please note: Narrative information in this profile has been provided by Federal Reserve Bank of Boston or a representative of this facility.

Discussion in 'Science and Technology' started by DarthTom, Nov 18, 2013.
None. Why would I need or want to interact with one?
Well, in my case - Watson seems a lot more impressive than Siri is at answering questions.
Siri on tough questions, 'let me go to the web and see if I can find that....'
Watson answers questions provided in a very specific format that have known factual answers.
Siri has to deal with people asking all kinds of random crap. The garbage out is going to be high because the garbage in is high.
That's true. I just tested your statement by asking Siri as series of straight forward questions e.g. 'What year was Enstein Born,' 'What is Enstein famous for,' and she correctly answered the questions - albiet used Wiki as a reference in repeating the correct answer.
Are you saying that Watson and Siri are equal in capabilities?
Watson only knows what's in its databases, and can search it quickly. Siri can take voice input and use it for a keyword search on the web. They're very different, but of the two, Siri is affordable and more useful for the everyday needs of a person. No one really needs a pocket Watson.
That would be profoundly stupid if Watson wasn't programmed to search the internet as well as its own database to find answers to queries.
But yes I agree Watson [at least for now] isn't a viable economic choice for most people. I'm surprised that IBM hasn't tried to develop and market a competitor to Siri with the Watson interface.
Most of the android voice recognition systems don't hold a candle to Siri in my experience.
Siri is a pocket Watson. You don't think Siri is actually being run from your phone do you?
Nope. In 3G or lower bandwith areas I get the, "I cannot answer any questions right now," response which obviously indicates that it isn't running locally. You'd think the software though wouldn't go out to the web for the time and date though - but it does.
Well, yes, Siri is a pocket Watson. What I meant was that you don't need to have the entire web stored on a single device when you have Siri to search the web. As far as I know, Watson doesn't do web searches, it just has data stored in servers that it accesses. DarthTom seems to be under the impression that Watson is "superior" to Siri, though I can't fathom why.
Watson is constrained by the time limit of Jeopardy questions, so local storage is a must.
Siri can afford to be a bit slower.
Well for starters, I'm guessing that Siri couldn't beat a Jeporday champion.
Siri could beat a Jeopardy champion, if Apple wanted to spend the time and money on the publicity stunt.
Computers are tools, not competitors. The IBM Watson competition was just to raise publicity for their research, not to produce an artificially intelligent being.
Siri isn't processing the vocal requests locally on your device. If it can't access the "mainframe" back at Apple then it can't understand you.
This thread is really kind of weird.
Why is that? I watched a program - Alien Planet - that discusses the idea that virtually AI will one day explore nearby planets within the, 'goldi-locks zone,' of nearby star systems on its own.
After watching the show it occured to me that we have super computers - like Watson - that have almost the same capabilities as described on the show.
I was curious if Watson and other computers today reach the level of 'intelligence,' necessary today to perform such tasks.
Robert Maxwell said that many of the tasks as described on the show are possible.
Tangentile to the discussion was how 'powerful,' Watson is relative to other supercomputers.
Is this forum not where science and technology is discussed? Do you have anything to contribute to the conversation?
DarthTom, you don't need to mini-mod here.
iguana is probably a bit put off by, to put it nicely, how not very knowledgeable you are about computers and computing technology. You seem easily impressed. Not that it's not impressive, but there seems to be a common tendency to view technology you don't understand as almost magical in nature. You seem very impressed, for instance, by Watson, going so far as to (initially) think it's the most advanced computer in existence. I assume you came to this conclusion due to its ability to beat other Jeopardy contestants, but those who likened it to Deep Blue have it right. Like Deep Blue, there is nothing magical about Watson, it is just a very powerful, highly specialized computer designed to solve one particular task very efficiently. Its existence is more evolutionary than revolutionary. It's not some kind of turning point in AI. It's a notable achievement, but I'm just saying not to make more of it than it is.
We could send automated probes to other solar systems if we wanted to and were willing to spend the money. The reason we don't is that it would take so long and the benefits, if any, would come several generations down the line. That makes it politically uninteresting, since no one in office (or even alive) today would be able to take credit for it. There's also no good economic incentive.
At this point, as our telescopes get better and better, we'll learn a lot more about extrasolar planets that way, and if we find a really, really promising one, maybe we'll send some probes, but I don't think you appreciate just how long-term a project that is. To put it in perspective, the fastest ships we've built to date--Helios-A and Helios-B--have had a maximum velocity of a bit over 150,000 miles per hour. Light travels at almost 670 million miles per hour. That means the fastest ship we've ever made has gone 0.02% the speed of light. It would take almost 43 years for such a ship to travel one light year. That's over 180 years just to the nearest star.
To see results in any reasonable amount of time, you'd need ships at least 10 times faster, and you'd need to be sure they could survive such high velocities. The computer systems are really the least of our worries with something like that. Maintaining power and velocity through the interstellar medium would be of much greater concern.
Basically: computing power is not what is holding us back from exploring space, and it never really has been. Systems like Watson and Siri are impressive but represent iterative improvements and integration of technologies and concepts that have been around for decades. There is no magic here, just a bunch of real-world reasons why we have achieved some things and not others.
The other thing is that Watson runs on 750 servers with 4 cores each. I don't know if you could even supply the amount of power needed for a long term mission.
I don't possess a degree in computer science and my, 'exposure,' to the technology is limited to using Siri, MS Office for business and work an like most people use computers as tools for work.
So yes - sorry - super computing is exciting to me and I don't understand what happens under the proverbial hood of the car so I ask questions.
Any computer that can beat a human being at Jeporday - IMO - is an amazing feat considering that 99% of the human population could not beat the flesh and blood winners either.
edited to add: then again I think it was impressive, funny, and sad when I asked Siri Sunday afternoon the Falcons score she said, "The Falcons got 'crushed,' by Tampa Bay...." - obviously someone in Curpertino feeling th need to add that editorial to the socre. LOL
But Jeopardy is not about intelligence, it's about having vast amounts of trivia knowledge. Pretty much anyone can accumulate that with some time and effort. It's not a question of intellectual ability.
The thing about that is... the Jeopardy task is simply suitable for machines. Just like calculations. Computers beat humans since decades in that area. Because the human brain just isn't designed for that.
On the other hand, it will take a very, very long time until, for example, a computer beats a human in visual recognition. Because that's what the human brain can do with perfection.

England faltered alarmingly to Harbhajan Singh on the way to their lowest T20 international total and heaviest defeat at the Premadasa Stadium.
A hard-working performance with the ball helped Stuart Broad's team restrict India to 170 for four after he had chosen to bowl first.
But in a contest of no consequence for two teams already in the Super Eights, England lost two early wickets to left-arm seamer Irfan Pathan and then repeated their worrying history of haplessness against sub-continental spin.
Harbhajan finished with Twenty20 international career-best figures of four for 12, as he and leg-spinner Piyush Chawla wreaked havoc to set up India's 90-run victory.
Rohit Sharma had top-scored with an unbeaten 55 from 33 balls, including five fours and a last-over six over point off the expensive Jade Dernbach.
But Graeme Swann - the only spinner selected by England - bowled well as India threatened to cut loose with the bat but never quite did.
They promoted Pathan to open in place of the rested Virender Sehwag, but the left-hander was undone by Steven Finn's extra pace when he was bowled in only the third over.
Number three Virat Kohli played according to his reputation - brilliantly - in a second-wicket stand of 57 with Gautam Gambhir, until Swann capped a fine spell by having him caught at deep midwicket by Jonny Bairstow for a high-class 40 from 31 balls.
Gambhir was unable to keep up that momentum in his anchor brief as Swann ruled the middle overs.
But by the time the opener was caught-behind slogging at Finn for 45 from 38 balls, the springboard was nonetheless still in place for India's cleanest hitters to cash in.
Rohit was already established and stuck largely to orthodox cricket shots.
Broad would have run him out for 32 with a direct hit, one of a clutch of minor fielding misdemeanours from England.
But as India attempted to apply the pressure - to significant, but not devastating, effect - Jos Buttler's wonderful piece of skill and quick thinking on the wide long-on boundary kept another six off the total and cut short Mahendra Singh Dhoni's accustomed late surge.
Buttler somehow stayed in the field of play as he caught the ball and ferried it to nearby outrider Alex Hales to complete a memorable dismissal - and surely boost England morale to boot.
The high did not last long for Hales, though, missing a heave to leg at Pathan to be bowled for a duck.
In-form number three Luke Wright got off the mark by hitting Pathan for a six over long-off, only to go lbw to the next ball when he missed an attempted pull.
England still had a powerhouse middle-order on paper, but Harbhajan made short work of Eoin Morgan, out-thinking the left-hander and knocking out middle-stump as the left-hander tried to cut one that scuttled on with the arm.
When Bairstow also went in Chawla's first over, smearing to leg and missing a googly, there were some uncomfortable echoes already of England's travails in the sub-continent and Asia for much of last winter.
Opener Craig Kieswetter had clubbed two early sixes off pace but edged a Chawla leg-break to slip, and Tim Bresnan picked out deep square-leg with a sweep at Harbhajan.
England had gone from 39 for two after five overs, before the introduction of spin, to 54 for six after 10.
A recovery was highly unlikely, and did not materialise, before England were all out for 80 in only the 15th over - eight runs short of their previous-worst total in this format.
The outcome had been easily predictable long before then.
The defeat, and even the margin of it, has no direct relevance to England's prospects of retaining the only International Cricket Council global trophy they have ever won.
But when they reconvene for their next assignment in Pallekele on Thursday, against either West Indies or Ireland, they will quickly need to erase some bad recent memories.

Disturbances in France, 1830-1860 and 1930-1960: Intensive Sample (ICPSR 51)
Principal Investigator(s): Tilly, Charles
This detailed study of 578 disturbances in France in the period 1830-1860 and 1930-1960 provides information on the geographic, economic, political, demographic, and historical background for each of the communes involved in the disturbances. Data for the formations, a collective of forces comprising of at least 50 persons in each collective, provide information on their social, economic, and political background, population characteristics, type of formation, age-sex distribution of the formations, and the political party affiliation of its members. The antecedent history of the disturbances is also given, including public memory of previous conflicts, forms of and responses to violence, interactions with other formations, character and clarity of objectives, and extent of territory controlled. Data on the organization of each formation is provided for the leadership, coordination, segmentation, stratification, and differentiation of the formation, as well as the extent of participation in man-days, and the numbers of participants in the disturbances arrested, killed, or wounded. Information is also provided on the outcome of the disturbance and changes resulting from participation in the disturbances. Additional variables provide detailed descriptions of the magnitude, duration, objectives, and immediate consequences of the disturbances. Variables also describe the newspaper, archival, and secondary sources used in the coding of the data collection.

text: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810055802/info New Moon is scheduled to be released on 11/18 in several countries. It's one of those "released several days early in several countries before the America" deals. Are you seeing it? Do you dislike the current vampire romance fad? Looks like they increased the budget for the sequel. I thought the first movie was okay. It was pretty much a romance with vampires and I will probably check this out since a few of my friends are interested. I'm a fan of Buffy and Angel so I'll see it mostly for the vamps.

Well, I wanted to create a thread to discuss who shines in different areas of the Shinobi Skills. Some of them are from the Databook.
I splited them into Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Weapon Mastery, Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Stamina, Hand Seals, Overall.
My intent it's not to point out who have the most powerful jutsu in each area, but who mastery of them really impresses, to the point they really are recognized by those abilities.
Here goes my list:
Kakashi the man who mastered over a 1.000 jutsus, I only saw Kakashi caught off-guard twice, the first time Zabuza trapped him and the second time he was caught in Tsukyomi.
But he was pitted against Zabuza, Itachi, Deidara, Kakuzu, Pain and Sasuke. In each time Kakashi always have a Jutsu on his sleeve to counter those people attack, not many people would survive a fight with one of those shinobis, and aside from Pain, Kakashi did with off all of them.
Kakashi isn't clearly possessor of the most powerfull Ninjutsu, but his arsenal is so great that he can counter attacks from the five element user Kakuzu, a Deidara explosion, and even Sasuke Susanoo.
I know that Ä is the strongest in close combat, but he uses Nintaijutsu(Ninjutsu + Taijutsu), and when it comes to pure Taijutsu, I always remember of Mighty Guy.
When Guy opens the 7th Gate he totally overpowered Kisame, this man was able to almost kill the Shark only using an Air Pressure that comes from a "clap" of his Hand.
Itachi ( you know why aha )
Obito once stated that Itachi never ceasrd to amaze him, and me too. Even dead he shows us new and powerfull stuff. I can understand why Obito didn't mess with him.
And Genjutsu wise, I am yet to see someone to overthrow him. In a battle against Itachi, people never know if they are living the real thing or if it's a genjutsu. If you don't look at his eye, he will just point his finger into your face, and then you fall into it.
Kinjutsu Mastery:
Kisame and Samehada complete each other, when faced with Kisame you don't know if you are more afraid of him or of his living sword.
I have to mention TenTen too, what gives the girl a spot here, it's that she can grab a shuriken, a kunai, a spear, a seven mist's sword or even a Legendary Fan and uses it with such ease.
Killer Bee uses 8 katana's like a pro, enough said
Shikamaru is intelligent enough to bring down an S-Class Immortal Criminal alone. And his father to take charge of 80.000 Shinobis. As far as raw intelligence is concerned, Shikaku is the number one.
Madara can fool an entire world, and can easily turn people to his side.
Naruto is always deemed stupid, but he outsmarted Zabuza, Kakuzu, Pain. A true testament of this was his ability to think fast enough to defeat the Third Raikage and his ability to complete the Rasenshuriken.
Itachi, Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Minato belong on the intelligence list. They have definitely shown intelligence and why they were considered among the best of their generation.
A single punch of Tsunade throwed Jiraiya 100 meters away, broke several bones and almost killed him. She opened deep rift in the ground using only a single finger.
Ä and Minato is in a Tie. Hiraishin makes Minato the fastest character so far, but Ä comes close, since naruto seems to keep up with him. Perhaps a 8th Gate Guy could , but at what cost.:shrug:
Desconsidering the bijuu, Kisame takes the number one spot, they guy alone have bijuu level chakra.
Hands Seal:
I can't decide the best one in this category. The fastest in Hand Seals is Itachi, he is so fast that even TS-Sasuke with Sharingan can't see his forming seals. Then we have Tobirama doing a 44 Seals Dragon Blast with just One Seal. And Haku who can perform Seal with one Hand. also im gonna add Ooniki.
Obviously its the So6P but otherwise
Naruto is on par with Ä speed, Tsunade Strength, Kisame Stamina. Sage Mode Naruto taijutsu is impressive, his ninjustu is devastating, he become smart enough to beat Pain and Third Raikage.
Sasuke taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, weapon mastery, speed is Kage Level.
Nagato is the most powerful single character in the history so far. It took the combined efforts of Naruto, Bee and Itachi to bring him down.

Apple just approved this latest update to PocketBible for the iPhone/iPad. iPad users can now hide the Toolbox when in landscape orientation! (Yes, we do pay attention to your requests.) 🙂
Follow up (2/16/2011): For the Android users who have been posting sometimes nasty comments implying that we're wasting time on useless features for iPad while they sit on their thrones making demands of how we (specifically I, Craig) should be spending our time, let me first say I've deleted your comments. As far as the time involved, let me explain how this works. As we get bug reports, we fix the problems in the code. We may not stop and do a release immediately because often the bugs are cosmetic or more of an annoyance than a real problem. We don't want to take the time to jump through the App Store hoops and have everyone download a new version of the app just to discover there's no real changes for most people. Instead, we accumulate a few of those changes until we run into one that is particularly bad.
That's what happened this time. One whole feature of searching was unavailable on the iPad due to a recent iOS update from Apple. The actual fix to that problem was done by Jeff between chemo/radiation treatments. And since we were going to be doing an update anyway, I pulled out the suggestion list to see if there was anything I could do relatively quickly to add a new feature. The ability to hide the Toolbox in landscape mode on the iPad involved changing about four lines of code and had very little risk. I also looked at one other feature but it was taking too much time so I just left it on the list for later.
We know that we have customers waiting for an Android version of PocketBible. There's no need to reply to every single Facebook post and every single blog post with snarky comments about how you wish we were announcing the Android product instead. Believe it or not, it doesn't make it go faster nor does it change our priorities, which are already heavily tilted toward Android.

The Fed has finished its second round of monetary expansion and with the economy seemingly slipping back to a slowerpgrowth posture, don't be surprised if we see a QE3. Prior to QE2, and after TARP, the American taxpayer was not too warm to the idea of another round of quantitative easing. Before QE2 was announced, the Fed embarked on a public relations campaign and released James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, on the media to warn of a 'Japanese style deflationary scenario' unfolding here in the U.S. That seemed to do the trick and the Fed began its second attempt at reviving the economy. That was $600 billion, to be exact! Now that the "stimulus" is behind us what lies ahead? More stimulus, that's what.
As an advisor charged with the responsibility of watching over clients' wealth, what steps should we take to do this in a prudent fashion? For the moment, the indication for the stock market seems to be that it will go higher, but that could change in a heartbeat. As the end of QE2 was approaching, traders were positioning for a rise in interest rates. Actually, the reverse happened. Interest rates fell, but not because the Fed ceased buying U.S. government treasuries. The reason interest rates fell was due to the fear that reemerged in Europe. Predicting a rise in interest rates was not too difficult to do. However, like it has happened so many times in the past, it's the "wildcard effect" that ultimately determines the outcome.
Now we have a sluggish economy where consumer demand is weak, business hiring is flat and government spending has been tried and tried with little success. The last component of GDP—net exports—will flourish only if the dollar weakens from here.
Here's my point. The Fed has shot all of its bullets with one exception and that's to continue to increase the money supply. In other words, get ready for QE3. However, even with QE3, if the consumer doesn't step up to the window to borrow, and banks don't relax their lending standards, all this excess capital will continue to bottleneck in the regional Fed banks and commercial banks.
Until demand picks up, we will bump along the bottom in terms of economic growth.
What a time to be an advisor!
Take care and have a great week!
