ChartDaddy Returns
This is way more charts than I've ever given you in one post. I hope you're ready.
For now, the metals are both being contained below their 200-day moving averages of gold at $1667 and silver at $30.82. So, while the metals continue in a holding pattern, I thought that today would be an excellent day to give you this massive update and, perhaps, make some general assumptions about 2013.
The problem with doing this is knowing where to start and how to put these into an order that makes some sort of logical sense. Since "logical sense" eludes me at this moment, I'm just going to dump them on you, instead.
First up, here are daily charts of the euro and copper. Note how closely they tracked each other through 2012. Actually, it would probably be more accurate to say "look how closely copper tracked the euro". Also notice how both declined in mid-December but recovered in late December.
Now look how closely silver has also tracked the euro in 2012. Note that silver fell in mid-December, too, but did not see the rebound that copper did. Hmmm. Is paper silver undervalued by 10%?
Next, let's look at the bond market. I've suggested to you that QE of $85B/month is not enough to fund the 2013 deficit, which looks to be in the $1.6-1.7T range. Falling prices/rising rates would also suggest that more Fed "support" is needed in the bond market. My guess is we'll see it soon...probably when the 10-year approaches the 127-128 level and the Long Bond is threatening to break down through 140.
Let's begin the currency discussion with the POSX. Remember and never forget that the POSX is simply a reflection of The Pig versus other rapidly-devaluing fiat currencies. The fact that the POSX is flat over the past five years only means that other global fiat have declined in value by an equivalent amount.
So, in that context, look at The Pig vs the yen. Yikes! Were you aware of this? We'll definitely need to watch this relationship over the next few weeks and months.
Another very interesting currency chart is the Swissie. From mid-2010 through mid-2011, the Swiss franc rallied almost 40% as it was perceived to be the final and only "safe haven" fiat currency. Well, the Swiss didn't like that too much as they keynesian-foolishly feared that a strong franc would wreck their economy. So, they did what all centrally-planning keynesians do, they devalued by pegging the swissie to the euro in early September of 2011. (Recall, too, that this left gold as the only remaining "safe haven" currency and it was carpet-bombed a full five minutes before the announcement was made and has been firmly held in check ever since.) Well, now, the swissie (and, by extension, the euro) has begun to form a massive, bowl-shaped bottom on this weekly chart. Hmmmm....could this foretell a POSX breakdown in 2013?
Let's now switch to crude, where a trading opportunity may be developing. (Full disclosure: Like most everything else, I missed the boat quite often in crude in 2012.) Look at these charts. A pullback to 91-92 would sure seem to present a buying opportunity for a move to 98-100. From there, a consolidation would paint the chart with a massive, cup-and-handle formation and would make the chart look like 115+ by mid year.
The old adage among grain traders is "buy on Valentine's Day and sell on Mother's Day". That strategy certainly looks like a good idea in 2013, too. The drought in the U.S. Midwest has not lessened at all this winter ( http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/12_week.gif) so you can rightly expect some rapid gains this spring if the next growing season begins dry, too. I'll definitely be looking to dabble in beans next month, especially if price can fall a bit further, toward $13.
And this is interesting. Have you been to the market lately and thought, "Damn, that shit's expensive" when looking at steaks and burgers? If so, this next chart will show you why. It's a weekly chart of Live Cattle and note that since the advent of Quantitative Easing in 2009, beef prices have risen over 60%. Is your salary up by 60%, too? No? Hmmm...the major problem here is that soaring "protein" prices will ultimately lead to civil unrest, first in the 3rd world but, eventually, here in The West, as well. Watch this closely in 2013 as it has the potential to develop into a real problem.
And get a load of this next chart...Lumber. Apparently lumber didn't get the memo post-QE∞. Since mid-September, it's up over 40%. Permanently low rates means a housing recovery? I don't think so but clearly the lumber market does! Either this sucker rolls over soon or, eventually, a lot of other commodities are going to have to play catch up. Another chart to watch closely in the weeks and months ahead.
And, finally, here's the S&P. I guess we're all just dumb-as-a-box-0f-rocks for buying metal over the past four years when we could have been buying and holding stocks, instead. UP over 100% since the initiation of Quantitative Easing in March of 2009, more than just about any other paper "asset" and you get a dividend! Isn't it interesting that all of this money printing leads stocks higher than everything else? Gee, I wonder why that could be?
Perhaps THIS has a little something to do with it. Please take the time to read this very important and informative article from ZH. It's one of the most important things they've written in quite a while. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-07/dear-steve-liesman-here-how-us-financial-system-really-works
And buried within that article is the paragraph near-and-dear to my heart and the hearts of all of Turdville. This is the mechanism through which JPM conceals their manipulative actions from the CFTC and everyone else:
"Now the JPM spin is well-known: the CIO was merely there to "hedge" exposure, as a direct prop bet would be illegal as per the Volcker Rule, not to mention the avalanche of lawsuits and the regulatory nightmare that would ensue if it became clear that the firm was risking what amounts to deposit capital to fund massive, highly risky prop trading bets. Which, when one cuts out the noise, is precisely what JPM did of course, especially since the "hedge" trade blew up just as the market tumbled in the spring of 2012, a time when it should have otherwise hedged the balance of the firm's otherwise bullish posture. That it did not do this refutes the logic that this was a hedge, and confirms that what JPM was doing was nothing short of using an internal, heavily shielded hedge fund, which had $323 billion in collateral as investable equity, to trade away, knowing very well no regulator would dare touch JPM."
OK, that's all for today. I look forward to reading your comments.

A small contribution
I am not sure about all those charts. I am simply going to go buy three little silver eagles at lunch. Every little bit helps.
Great googly moogly
Some of you are FAST...
In the meantime, waiting for these beauties to show up.
Thanks for all these charts Turd!
argh... don't forget the most important part, even after those pretty charts:
Did I refresh first?
Man! That was quick. Lots of quick fingers here in Turdville!
Be Right Sit Tight
Wow, that went fast.
That may have been the most highly anticipated post yet.
Thank you, Turd!
Nice stuff
Looking forward to reading and absorbing at my leisure
Still could use some ideas
I was returning some SBSS coins to the mint through USPS. I printed a label on line with signature confirmation. I took it the post office and the clerk taped the label on priority mail package, but she failed to scan the package in. She does not deny receiving the package and putting the label on. Anyway the package is missing Inspector General cannot find the coins. I failed to buy insurance, not to smart, but does anyone think there is any recourse being the postal clerk did not follow protocol?
Happy Tuesday
Better than the alternative.
need a scenario, please
hello all, i'm still trying to figure out in my own mind how things will transpire if the fed is the buyer of last resort and if they continue to buy all us debt. interest rates will never rise, it would seem. so then what happens? tia to anyone who can propose a reasonable scenario that would bring the whole mess to an end. best to all, litf
and a big thank you to turd ferguson for hanging in there with us and maintaining this site!
Chart Dump
Awwwwww wahhhhhh no gold chart. Well, I guess we all know what it looks like anyway but I miss it... where's the gold?
What I'm looking forward to is the end of the index rebalancing... perhaps that's where the gold is.
No dstage, you have absolutely no recourse.
No soup for you
My Turd Friends, need advice
If, when doing a 401K rollover, what have you found to be a good PM
holding company for an IRA. I think of Swiss America, Investment Rarities, Both are
great companies, but I am just wondering if there may be better options, or different.
Just curious now....
thanks all
Watching out of the corner of my eye...
Go (Chart)Daddy!
Nice work with the new ruler and sharpie... Keep Stacking!
USDA report Friday
Also there's a USDA report out this Friday - 11:00 am (EST?) I think.
Gold priced in Yen
The Yen is still very strong by historic standards; there used to be hundreds of yen to the dollar.
Indeed, though today's gold price in Yen is around 145,000, the nominal all time official high, was 203,368 on 21st Jan 1980.
So, one of the few, perhaps the only currency where the 1980 high has not been exceeded.
Possibly of little significance, or maybe it does has some relevance in the great scheme of things, but interesting to know.
I can't get work done when you post such thought provoking pictures!!!!
Gold priced in yen, part 2
Yep, the penny has dropped.
Because over the last few decades, the yen has strengthened so much, the price of almost everything has been falling for them, to the point that there was no point in investing in any 'commodity,' including gold, and not least as an inflation hedge, because they haven't needed one. The Yen itself was appreciating faster than most everything else.
If and when that arrangement reverses (and we look like we are on the cusp?), then we might have a major, major new buyer on the scene. I hope they will be smart enough to buy physical.
Japan Pension Funds looking to shift more into Gold. WOW!
"If Just 1%Of Japanese Pension Assets Shift Into Gold, The Gold Market Would Explode"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/08/2013 11:54 -0500
Last night we reported that in the encroaching attempt to globalize the fiat ponzi regime, in Japan's latest rush to crushTM(sounds even better than race to debase) its currency it would proceed to monetize even more debt, only not its own debt - a strategy that has failed miserably to stimulate inflation for the past 30 years - but that of Europe.
So far so good, and perfectly expected in a monetary lunatic asylum in which coining money without an appropriate collateral backing is actually considered sound monetary policy by Nobel prize winners.
What gives us some hope that there may be at least one sane voice left in the wilderness is the far less trumpeted news overnight that "Japanese pension funds, the world's second-largest pool of retirement assets after the U.S., will more than double their gold holdings in the next two years as the new government pushes for a higher inflation target, according to an adviser to the funds. Assets held by Japanese pension funds in gold-backed exchange-traded products may expand to 100 billion yen ($1.1 billion) by 2015 from less than 45 billion yen at present." The reason for the move is fear that Abe is actually able (unlike last time when his failure was accompanied by an inexplicable case of career-ending diarrhea) to hit his goal of 2% inflation, without in the process sending bond yields so high all tax revenue goes solely to cover interest expense on the JPY 1 quadrillion pyramid of debt and rising. Which, incidentally, according to many traders is the reason for the move higher in gold prices today.
From Bloomberg:
Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corp., which introduced Japan's first gold ETF in 2010, expects assets held in the product to double over the next several years from 26.2 billion yen as of Nov. 30. Global investors are holding a near-record amount in gold-backed ETPs that are valued at $139.6 billion, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Assets held by corporate pension funds in Japan amounted to 72.24 trillion yen as of March 2012, declining 0.9 percent from a year earlier, according to Yasuo Sugeno, director at Daiwa Institute of Research in Tokyo. Of the total, about 72 billion yen were allocated to commodities including gold through hedge funds, he said Dec. 10.
Government Pension Investment Fund of Japan, the operator of the world's largest pension fund with 113.6 trillion yen, stays away from commodity investment as 67 percent of their assets were allocated to Japanese bonds, Sugeno said.
Japanese pensions oversee $3.36 trillion, according to human-resource
and consulting services company Towers Watson & Co. Corporate
pension funds in Japan will diversify 72 trillion yen in assets after
domestic stocks produced little return in the past two decades,
according to Daiwa Institute of Research.
So after the rotation, paper gold holding will double to a whopping... 0.03% of all pension fund assets! Now imagine what happens to the price of gold if Japan does indeed succeed in generating inflation, and pension funds scramble to push 1, 2, 5% or more of their assets into gold. Sure enough:
Perhaps it is time for the punditry and the chatterbox media to start considering what happens not when the much anticipated rotation out of bonds and into stocks, which has not happened for 4 years now, and won't, at least not until the government bond bubble finally pops which will only happen when the central banks finally lose control, but what happens if even a tiny amount of the global pension capital allocated to bonds and/or equities, is rotated into gold.
"Pension money invested in bullion is 'peanuts' at the moment," Toshima
said. "If 1 percent of their total assets shift to the metal, the gold
market would explode."
Could not have said it better ourselves.
crude > $90 = war?
Turd, you still think crude being over $90 might be an indication of escalating turmoil in the Middle East? Did you see Assad's speech? He called out the west for backing the extremists he's fighting. Pretty heavy stuff. We know Russia, China, et al. are prepared to put the breaks on further US military conquest, but this speech was remarkably in defiance of western powers covertly funding and aiding fighters in Syria. Assad seems to be holding his own much better than Ghaddafi did.
Anyway, you have eluded to a correlation between crude and unrest in the Middle East before and I'm curious on your thoughts here.
@ Ballyale
regarding your post, perfect timing!
Golf near Tampa
looking to use my other silverware later this month on a trip to Tampa. Anybody have a good course recommendation? I know about World Woods, TPC and Innisbrook. I'm looking for something with a relatively high course rating (for me--8hc) and relatively lower slope rating (for the wife--bogey-ish). Few forced carries, less water, little or no housing; and pristine condition (she's a golf snob). Within 20 miles of downtown Tampa.
I posted some metals stuff on my golf forum and got a good response. I'm seeing if the reverse works, here.

Diving at Montague Island
Travel guru Catriona Rowntree once described Montague Island as "a nightmare to film because every aspect is so good". The island has twice been voted Tourism Australia's top eco-tourism destination and gained membership of NSW Tourism's Hall of Fame in 2008 for winning three consecutive ecotourism awards.
It is an important breeding ground for around 12,000 Little Penguins which can be seen coming ashore at dusk after feeding at sea.
The island is home to the largest fur seal colony on the NSW coast and is a breeding ground for around 15 bird species – while dolphins, whales and endangered grey nurse sharks can all be seen at various times of year.
We are heading out on the boat to dive Montague Island on Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. After a 25 minute boat ride we will arrive at the island and you have the chance to dive with over 100 seals at the time.
Most of the seals are at a depth of 3 – 15m, which overs a great dive experience for all dive levels. Between the dives you will have the chance to warm up with hot soup before jumping in for the second dive. We will be back in Narooma by around 1pm which will give you plenty of time to explore Narooma.
About Narooma
Known as the Nature Coast, because of its pristine, golden beaches, its spectacular blue lakes, inlets and rivers and magnificent mountain scenery, it is one of the few unspoilt natural beauty spots where visitors can relax and truly get away from it all.
Bushwalkers, bird watchers and nature lovers can explore the many National Parks in the area and those who prefer water sports can indulge in swimming, surfing, diving, water skiing, sailing, windsurfing and fishing.
This area has been a favourite with fisher persons for many years. All types of fishing are catered for in the area, from reef and bottom fishing to sport and big game fishing. 80 per cent of the Batemans Marine Park is open to fisherpersons with fishing licences.
Montague Island, a NPWS Reserve, only 8kms from the Narooma mainland is famous for its historic lighthouse, as well as its colonies of seals, little penguins and sea birds. Guided tours, landing on Montague island, are one of the highlights of a visit to Narooma.
In Spring there is the added popular attraction of Whale Watching, which brings many international and Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and interstate visitors.
Step back into the early 1900's in the historic National Trust villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba and enjoy the olde worlde shops and arts and crafts. Spend a day at beautiful Bermagui a little further south, and experience the charm of this delightful fishing village. Stroll along deserted beaches and rocky headlands at Mystery Bay, Kianga and Dalmeny and view the tranquil, lakeland panoramas of Tuross Head, a short drive to the north. The pretty little village of Bodalla boasts some lovely rural scenery and history.
Narooma's history dates back to the early 1800's, when it used to be known as Noorooma, the Aboriginal name for clear, blue water. Dairy cattle were raised at Wagonga, a small town at the head of the inlet, and cheese factories were later established at Bodalla, Tilba and Narooma.
Wagonga was also used as a port for the nearby gold mining town of Nerrigundah. Gold was also discovered on the slopes of Gulaga or Mt. Dromedary, as it is also known. But it was timber that soon became the most important product in the area and it is still one of the biggest industries, along with fishing, oyster farming, dairying and, of course, tourism.

Betty White Had No Idea She Was Tweeting
Her people did it without her knowledge.
Betty White has a new Twitter account, everybody! Someone should really tell her, though. After the 90-year-old White appeared to open a verified account the other day to promote her new NBC series and sent flirty messages to Ryan Seacrest, White's Hot in Cleveland co-star Valerie Bertinelli sounded the alarm. "Just spoke with Betty and she is VERY upset!" Bertinelli tweeted. "@BettyMWhite is NOT her. Don't know how they got verified, but it is not Betty," adding later, "Betty just got a call. An account was opened on her behalf by her people." That breach of celebrity-tweeting trust would not stand, and Bertinelli then attempted to walk back her allegation: "It's all a misunderstanding," wrote Bertinelli. "@BettyMWhite IS Betty's twitter account! I think
@BettyMWhite pranked me but good! #blushing." Betty White has always been tweeting, just as Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

This series has captured my heart and imagination since I first read it in 2012. The first book, The Raven Boys is an amazing example of magical prose, and wonderful characters and plot. The mystery of the boys' search for the legendary Welsh king, Owen Glendower and Gansey's foretold death have loomed in my mind for so long, I was so, so eager to see how The Raven King would wrap it all up.

Mycobacterium leprae is one of the renowned pathogens in Microbiology. Of-course, the big share of infection in the group goes to M tuberculosis. Leprae bacilli has not been studied in details compared to other pathogen. The most important hindrance is it has not been cultivable in Culture media (Maybe Culturomics will help in future). Till date, the pathogenesis of leprae bacilli has not been well understood. It was assumed that they somehow the pathogen beats the neuronal cells especially Schwann cells. The assumption isn't completely wrong but (as shown in the paper that am going talk about), not right either. The game changing paper has been difficult to digest, but its a huge leap. Let me start with some basics and then we move on to what the paper reveals.
|Photo 1: Leprae Bacilli. Source
|Fig 1: Schwann cells. Source
|Fig 2: Mycobacterium leprae binds to the ErbB2 receptor to induce Schwann cell demyelination and proliferation. Source
So what we had known earlier? As I said, the M leprae was known to damage schwann cells. In fact that fits well with explanation. Much of the nerve damage caused by the infection is the result of M. leprae triggering extensive demyelination of schwann cells in peripheral nerves. This causes a loss of nerve conduction functions and leads to what is the classical numbness (Loss of sensation) in the disease. Looking into the details of demyelination, lead to the understanding that demyelination can be induced by a Ras- Raf pathway (Ras–Raf–MEK–ERK). The explanation is shown below in Fig 2.
The most common ultra-structural finding of infection, is infection of epineurial vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells. The receptor for schwann cell is the PGL-1 (Phenolic glycolipid-1) or LBP21 receptor on M. leprae which binds to the α-2 side chain of laminin-2 as well as the related α-dystroglycan receptor.The entry most probably is via complement receptor 3-mediated phagocytosis.
|Fig 3: A model for the binding interactions of individual α2LG modules of the G domain with PGL-1 and ML-LBP21 in the M. leprae cell wall. Source
With this background, it is obvious that schwann cell has an important role to play in the pathogenesis of leprosy. But it is also unclear as to what happens.
|Fig 4: Schwann cell reprograming and implications. Source
A second related paper by Wegner etal. has some more to say. SOX-10 is an essential determinant of Schwann cell identity and is the prime candidate to be inactivated that cause lineage de-differentiaition. On prolonged incubation of in mesenchymal stem cell medium the bacteria- containing stem like cells, become strongly proliferative and gains migratory properties. This possibly is the cause for pathogen dissemination.
What is so striking about this understanding is that after all shwann cells are not destroyed. Rather, they are converted into stem cell like lineage. The mechanism first of all provides me with something to think about as a model system for stem cell inducing properties, and also clarifies leprae molecular infection. Take home message is "Leprae bacilli is Schwann cell gene programmer".

LG Electronics Expands Consumer Preferred* LG CINEMA 3D Line With New Home Entertainment Packages
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the release of study results showing that four out of five consumers prefer LG CINEMA 3D over Sony and Samsung active 3D televisions,* LG Electronics today launched two new LG CINEMA 3D entertainment packages, which include an LG CINEMA 3D HDTV, 3D Blu-ray Disc player and four pairs of LG's lightweight 3D glasses – all packed together in one box.
"As more and more people seek to bring the 3D viewing experience into their homes, LG is offering them an easy-to-buy and even easier-to-enjoy 3D home entertainment package," said Jay Vandenbree, senior vice president, home entertainment, LG Electronics USA. "Our LG CINEMA 3D entertainment packages are very attractive for retailers and consumers alike to bring the latest 3D movies and sporting events into your living room, delivering a theater-like, comfortable viewing experience and a superior 3D picture preferred by consumers."
The Total 3D Package
The attractively priced LG CINEMA 3D entertainment packages come with a 47- or 55-inch class (47.0- and 54.6-inch diagonals, respectively) LG CINEMA 3D HDTV, an LG 3D Blu-ray Disc™ player with the capabilities to play 3D Blu-ray Disc movies in Full HD 1080p picture quality, and four pairs of lightweight, battery-free LG CINEMA 3D glasses. The 3D Blu-ray Disc player is perfect for playing 3D or 2D Blu-ray and DVD movies, and also has the ability to upscale DVDs to near HD quality. In addition, the TV can convert 2D content to 3D for an endless supply of entertainment options.
LG's Next Generation 3D Technology
LG's CINEMA 3D enables consumers to recreate the 3D movie theater viewing experience in their homes with lightweight eyewear, crisp, bright images and wide-angle viewing. In third party 3D TV tests commissioned by LG, four out five people chose LG CINEMA 3D over Sony and Samsung TVs using active flicker 3D glasses*. In addition, more than three quarters of the respondents preferred LG CINEMA 3D for the immersive 3D experience, 3D effect, overall 3D picture quality and 3D glasses*.
Similar to the 3D glasses used in theaters, the LG CINEMA 3D polarized glasses do not have a battery and never need charging and since the glasses do not need to sync with an emitter, viewers can watch from wide angles in the room. The low cost of the eyewear also makes it easier to buy as many pairs as needed to host family and friends for a sporting event or 3D movie night. The Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) optimizes the separation of images for the left and right eye, which are then filtered through the glasses to give viewers a better 3D effect with minimal cross-talk. LG's 3D Light Boost, a thin film covering the screen, creates bright, crisp 3D images for a superior 3D viewing experience by helping to counteracting dimness that can occur with 3D content.
Superior Picture Quality
LED Plus with Local Dimming allows for deeper blacks and richer colors by providing even greater control of brightness through local dimming technology to deliver better contrast, amazing clarity and color detail, while TruMotion 120Hz technology brings extra sharp detail to even the fastest moving scenes, enabling consumers to view sports, video games and high-speed action with virtually no motion blur.
Picture Wizard II takes the guesswork out of picture adjustments providing easy self-calibration with on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements such as black level, color, tint, sharpness and backlight levels. Additionally, Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes picture brightness to the lighting and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable viewing experience.
Energy and Cost Efficient
ENERGY STAR® qualified – which for TVs means they save energy both in standby and active modes – LG's Smart Energy Saving Features, allow consumers to conserve money and energy. In addition to using about 30 percent less energy than non-Energy Star TV units, the LED Plus with Local Dimming feature of LG's CINEMA 3D also offers greater energy efficiency compared to conventional LCD TV offerings.
The LG CINEMA 3D entertainment package (model LW5300) will be available in August 2011 in 47- and 55-inch class screen sizes at manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,399.99 and $1,899.99, respectively.
For more information, please visit www.LG.com .
* Based on LG consumer perception study comparing overall 3D experience LG CINEMA 3D TV vs. Samsung and Sony active 3D TVs in factory default settings, May 2011. LG TV model 47LW5600 with model AG-F200 glasses; Samsung TV model UN46D6420 with model SSG-3100GB glasses; Sony TV model KDL-46EX723 with model TDGBR100/B glasses.

The results are in! More than 500 folks participated in my impromptu poll. Above are the detailed results.
As I watched the poll unfold over the course of the last few days, it continually held steady at around 60/ 40 in favor of Adobe Premiere, despite one user- you know who you are– who tried to stuff the ballot box, by visting the poll everyday and continually voting for FCPX for several minutes. Shame on you. You wasted your time, oh those precious moments lost in time like tears in rain. You could've spent that time learning Premiere ;)
Thank you all for taking part. The main purpose of the poll was to help solidify or dispell a hunch I have about which NLE to learn and teach in the coming years, months, days or however long before something else comes along and upsets the NLE apple cart.
As a bit of background, I started learning and teaching FCPX from its initial release. I'm a huge fan. It's a truly amazing program and I suspect will only get better. It's not perfect but neither was FCP7. I believe that FCPX will ever be able to recover from the initial backlash after its release. It's my opinion that all the resistance came from influential folks in the blogosphere who only dabbled in the program. They where so turned off by its initial "look" and lack of certain features that they literally wrote it off. We all listened. A few of us actually used it long enough to realize its beauty, by then it was too late, despite Apple restoring key features, the coffin was closed.
In the end, our newsrooms, universities and entrepreneurial workstations need to be editing with something. We've held off long enough, hoping that Apple would change their mind and restore the industry standard, FCP7. But now, we have to make a decision. I've decided, it's going to be Adobe Premiere. Wait, didn't I say I loved FCPX? Let me explain.
I don't think we'll see a clear leader like FCP7 for a long time. I think we're going to be living in a divided NLE ecosystem. I also believe, if a more formal and scientific poll was conducted 12 months from now, across all industries and schools, Adobe Premiere would emerge as the only NLE that comes close to widespread adoption. If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Premiere as the one NLE that schools and workshops end up teaching and therefore setting a new trend. It's just a hunch.
My informal poll is a step towards confirming my suspicion. I'm certainly not trying to kick the hornet's nest about which NLE is better. I'm just trying to give a bit of background as to why I created the poll in the first place and my thought process about which NLE I'll be using and teaching.
Enjoy the ride, whichever NLE you decide, I'll see you during the next twist or turn.
Sorry Avid lovers it's just not an NLE I see having an impact in the multimedia journalism world.

When Jacinta contacted me asking if I could shoot her house wedding I really wasn't sure what to expect. Having never been to a house wedding or shot one before I needed to keep an open mind. After having done one I am so glad I did….there is something really cool about the girls inside getting ready while guests are arriving! Plus it is so much fun for the photographer, being able to step in and out of the house at will to capture the different aspects of the day.
We decided to head to "Old Petrie Town" after the ceremony for some more formal shots which was such an amazing back drop for photography…..oh….also Jacinta and Jordan are very much in love as well which I think has really come to light in their photos! But I'll let you decide…..

News Brief – March 28, 2011
The decision to scrap the UK's sole remaining aircraft carrier along with its Harrier jump jets – the last plane capable of flying from the decks of ships – has been strongly criticised by ex-RAF and Naval commanders.
The lack of the carrier based vertical take-off jet could leave Britain with serious shortcomings in its ability to project its military power.
Commander Nigel "Sharkey" Ward, who was the most senior Sea Harrier commander during the Falklands War told Channel 4:
"Wherever there is a troublespot in the world, it's so easy to put a carrier there and provide a deterrent.
"When Cumberland went in to rescue Britons from Benghazi, you could have had Ark Royal with harriers on board just sitting there, saying: 'Okay, we're watching you.' It would have been a significant deterrent to Gaddafi escalating his actions, and then when the UN resolution came through, we would have been ready to move."
He added: "In terms of attacking tanks and army units the Harrier is just as capable as the Tornado, and the Harrier has indeed got a better capability for ensuring no casualties for civilians, because is system is more accurate for the delivery of precision guided bombs.
"Quite clearly, it is a better aircraft. We're getting a lot of spin to denigrate the capability of the Harrier to justify a bad decision, and that is an appalling record for this Government."
Scrapping the last remaining aircraft carrier before two new British aircraft carriers enter service in 2016 and 2018 is seen as leaving a dangerous gap in Britain's military capability.
The decision has left many serving personnel angry at what they see as the government's shortsightedness. This resentment can be seen in the accompanying photo of a final Harrier jet fly past of the British parliament last week.
Take a careful look at the photo to get a clearer idea of what they are trying to say. If it isn't immediately clear sit further from the monitor and it should become clear.

Lamoureux scores 100th career goal as North Dakota upsets Clarkson
GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- No. 9 North Dakota rallied from a third-period deficit on Saturday to defeat No. 4 Clarkson 3-2 at the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Senior Jocelyne Lamoureux scored a pair of goals, including her 100th collegiate, and freshman Meghan Dufault added the eventual game-winner to lift UND to the series split.
Freshman Shelby Amsley-Benzie stopped 23 of 25 shots to pick up her second win of the season as UND improves to 5-5-0 (4-4-0 WCHA). Clarkson drops to 8-2-0.
Clarkson's Vanessa Plante opened scoring in the first period, wristing a shot from just inside the blue line past Amsley-Benzie. The goal at 10:11 would be the lone score of the first frame.
Initially ruled a no goal, Lamoureux scored her 100th collegiate goal and her first of the game off a rebound. Senior Mary Loken took a shot from inside the near faceoff circle and Lamoureux knocked the puck past Erica Howe and over the goal line. After the review, the goal would knot the game at one only 3:16 into the middle period.
Plante regained the lead when she shot into the cage at 11:51 of the second period.
In a penalty-filled final period, UND cashed in for two power-play goals to take its first lead of the game.
Lamoureux blasted a one-timer from the near faceoff circle past Howe to tie the game just before the halfway mark of the third period.
After getting her stick knocked out of her hands, Dufault got behind the net, regrouped and knocked the puck out of mid-air and into the net for the game-winner.
Howe stopped 22 of 25 shots in the losing effort.
Senior Monique Lamoureux led the team with six shots.

Rollo May Quotes About MythQuotes about: Myth
Heroes are necessary in order to enable the citizens to find their own ideals, courage and wisdom in the society. The hero carries our hopes, our aspirations, our ideals, our beliefs. In the deepest sense the hero is created by us; he or she is born collectively as our own myth. This is what makes heroism so important: it reflects our own sense of identity and from this our own heroism is molded.
Symbols are specific acts or figures, while myths develop and elaborate these symbols into a story which contains characters and several episodes. The myth is thus more inclusive. But both symbol and myth have the same function psychologically; they are man's way of expressing the quintessence of his experience - his way of seeing his life, his self-image and his relations to the world of his fellow men and of nature - in a total figure which at the same moment carries the vital meaning of this experience.
A myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence. Whether the meaning of existence is only what we put into life by our own individual fortitude, as Sartre would hold, or whether there is a meaning we need to discover, as Kierkegaard would state, the result is the same: myths are our way of finding this meaning and significance.

Nokia Sensing X CHALLENGE
By Robert B. McCray
Robert is President and CEO of the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance.
What can the health care industry learn from Hollywood? Can we use the power of technology and persuasion to empower consumers to take more responsibility for their own health? Can technology and knowledge of human behavior overcome the health problems that have manifested themselves in the last century of global technical advances? Ultimately, can we enjoy in health and healthcare the benefits that we take for granted in consumer electronics where devices become cheaper and better over time?
The X PRIZE Foundation and Nokia announced the $2.25 million Nokia Sensing X CHALLENGE at the WLSA's 7th Convergence Summit in May. This follows closely on the announcement of the $10 million Qualcomm Tricorder X PRIZE at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Taken together, these are among the most exciting healthcare related announcements of the past seven years and they will drive tremendous innovation in wireless health by drawing new innovators to the field. Health is "cool."
Consider the health problems facing Americans. Chronic diseases are rapidly increasing among young people (for example, diabetes and pre-diabetes rates among teenagers increased from 9% in 1999 to 23% last year) – just as the number of people over age 65 is exploding and getting sicker and the supply of doctors willing to deliver primary care services is declining. Neither the U.S. government nor most individual Americans can afford to chase the increasing costs associated with accessing traditional medical care in the traditional manner.
The developing world, which has even fewer physicians and healthcare institutions, will not follow the American hospital and physician centric approach to supporting health. Instead, they are adopting the tools of modern technology to improve access to health information and support. In this model, health is an outcome for which the individual is primarily responsible with the support of her community. Institutional support is a convenience, but access to health care paid for by someone else is not a social "right."
Is this ideal? Not entirely. But it is the global reality and with the rich world facing severe financial, aging and chronic disease problems, our societies must return to a past in which individuals looked to themselves and their family/social networks first before scheduling an appointment with a doctor for many common ailments.
Fortunately, in a tech-enabled wireless health future, we will be equipped to take on this responsibility and we will be happier for it. As consumers we will be empowered and (re)engaged to be the primary managers of our own health. The Nokia Sensing X CHALLENGE and Qualcomm Tricorder X PRIZE will be key drivers of this future. They are already engaging the community of researchers, entrepreneurs, industry and the health care community to develop smart connected devices that are scalable, portable and user friendly. These devices will work for consumers and not just clinicians. They will be tools for village caregivers in Asia and Africa, and for Promotores in North America, who help the poor access knowledge, products and services to manage health and improve life.
So how does this solve key societal issues?
Empowering consumer health. People want to be self-sufficient – we desire control over our lives. The separation of consumers from medical knowledge that is delivered in a fee for service has disconnected millions of people from their own health and wellbeing. "Doctor knows best" and "there is a pill of the problem" might well describe the American approach to health care of the past 50 years. The introduction of a consumer device that, for example, informs a mother as to whether her child really needs to see a physician and if so what questions to ask will shift a good deal of control to the patient and avoid many unnecessary visits to emergency rooms and clinics.
Reengaging with ourselves. Nearly half of Americans are overweight or obese due primarily to over-eating and over-sitting. About 20% smoke cigarettes. Modern conveniences such as traditional unhealthy fast food and packaged food products have freed up time for other activities, but absent effective feedback loops we ignore the long term adverse effects of these products and end up overweight and at risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. Convenient sensors will be bundled with intelligence, devices and applications to create feedback loops that will support the creation of healthful habits to replace the destructive habits so many of us have embraced. This will keep us out of the doctor's office, thus freeing up resources for the sick who cannot care for themselves.
The disruptive power of technology. Digital technology has recreated every major sector that it has touched and this will take place in health care as well. It is already starting with medical devices and in genetics research where analog systems are being replaced with digital equipment that is cheaper, faster, more proficient and more connected. It will happen with services as well. Consider what digital technology did to the music industry. Starting with MP3 technology and file sharing services such as Napster, consumers gained direct access to all the world's recorded music and on that basis refused in massive numbers to continue buying prepackaged "albums" of 12 – 18 songs from record labels costing $12 – 15. After about five years of fighting, newly recorded music became available as 99-cent singles downloadable to iPods and other players. Consumer knowledge was empowering and reduced wasted spending.
I believe we can follow the same pathway in healthcare, although the changes will take longer and be more controlled due to the appropriate conservatism of consumers and patients, and the strong regulatory, financial, professional and political resistance to change.
At WLSA, we are dedicated to making this transition occur as quickly yet safely as possible. Millions of Americans and billions of the world's population do not have access to affordable high quality care right now. Progress will come as the result of well meaning insiders collaborating with empowered and informed consumers and institutional purchasers. Technology such as those envisioned by the Nokia Sensing X CHALLENGE and Qualcomm Tricorder X PRIZE will play a critical role in equipping the "revolutionaries" in this engagement.

Mr. Shiv Nadar – Chairman of the Board
Shiv Nadar was born and raised in mofussil Tamil Nadu, in an India awakening to its first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru's "Tryst with Destiny". Studying his way through the Indian schooling and graduate system, a scholastically-gifted Nadar confronted both the harsh realities and the opportunities of a struggling Indian state before he saw his first big town, Chennai, at the age of 21. His story is both a reflection of the times he lived in as well as the future that he always dreamt of shaping.
Nadar was part of the elite DCM management trainee system where he met several of the people with whom he was soon to impact an entire industry as a pioneer of modern computing. In 1976, eight young men left DCM to create HCL in a Delhi Barsati "akin to a garage startup" with a compelling vision – that the microprocessor would change the world.
A visionary, Nadar made HCL an engine of invention turning dreams into reality. HCL, under Nadar's leadership, revolutionized Indian technology and product innovation with many world firsts to its credit – the first 8-bit microprocessor-based computer in 1978, the first Relational Database Management System in 1983 before some of its global peers, client- server architecture in 1984, world's first fine-grained multi-processor UNIX installation in 1989, among others. A pioneer in Remote Infrastructure Management, HCL was instrumental in implementing and managing the infrastructure backbone of one of India's tallest financial institutions – the National Stock Exchange. HCL played a key role in supporting India's telecom revolution through the creation of the largest mobile distribution network with Nokia. HCL Technologies, which spun out of HCL's R&D unit, is currently a top IT services company in India and a global leader in Engineering & R&D Services with a game changing business model.
Nadar has made daring forays based on his conviction of the future. HCL created several valuable Joint Ventures and alliances with marquee partners such as Hewlett Packard, Cisco, Perot Systems, Deutsche Bank and Toshiba among others, to emerge as a global technology enterprise. In the last three decades, HCL has evolved into a $7 billion global enterprise with over 105,000 employees from 100 nationalities, operating in 31 countries, including 500 points of presence in India.
After playing a key role in putting India on the global technology map, HCL in 2014 diversified and forayed into healthcare, an area of paramount national importance. HCL Healthcare aspires to be the nation's leading healthcare company by providing innovative medical services, products and training to meet the growing demand for quality healthcare. In 1994, Nadar established what he believed was closest to his heart - the philanthropic Shiv Nadar Foundation and created its first initiative in Chennai, the SSN Institutions, that is a top ranked engineering college. Today the Foundation is a significant driver of social change and transformational education through its landmark institutions spanning the entire education spectrum from schools to universities. VidyaGyan, an innovation in school education, reaches out to the 'top of the bottom of the pyramid' and creates leaders from across the cross- section of the society. A young and a unique research-led interdisciplinary university, the Shiv Nadar University has been identified as India's first Ivy League institution.
In recognition of his pioneering role in business and philanthropy in India and across the globe, Nadar has received several honours and accolades in the past, notable being the Padma Bhushan from the President of India in 2008, the BNP Paribas Grand Prize for Individual Philanthropy in 2013, the AIMA Managing India Corporate Citizen Award, the ICSI Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in Corporate Governance and the Golden Peacock Award for Social Leadership in 2014. He was also named the Outstanding Philanthropist of the Year in 2015 by Forbes.
Shiv Nadar often says that he is a product of education. He is restless, passionate and a creative institution builder who also likes to quote Andy Grove by stating "Only the Paranoid Survive". Nadar stays in Delhi with his wife Kiran. Kiran Nadar, an internationally renowned bridge player and an avid art collector, has established the iconic Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, India's largest private philanthropic art museum.

Monika BajajTreated by - Dr. (PT) Rajeev Kumar
Well, just wanted to share my experience with you. Besides the hospital, the main reason of my feeling extremely positive, awesome and pleasant is due to the excellent service and motivation provided by Dr. Rajeev Kumar (the Physiotherapist).
Dr. Rajeev Kumar is an excellent Doctor, who knows his subject extremely well and is an expert in his field. From Day 1 itself, he has been so positive and extremely polite and motivating that I've made it a practice to be regular for the sessions and try not to miss the session unduly. The Doc just knows the exact pain areas and relieves your pain-both physical as well as mental so well very beautifully.
I'm even going to bring my husband to be treated by Dr. Rajeev Kumar very soon.
He indeed is a GOD in TRUE SENSE !!

MadhumitaTreated by - Dr. S K Singh
I frequently visit HCL Healthcare Noida Centre. Some time ago, my daughter Madhumita complained of tooth ache but refused to visit a dentist, in anticipation of pain. One evening, I took her to the centre and showed her to the dentist, Dr. Singh. He made her comfortable, took his time helping her understand the difference between permanent & milk teeth and also explained why she should take utmost care of her teeth. She had some cavities which we got filled, but most importantly she has lost her fear of the dental chair.

RanjanTreated by - Dr. Rajat Makhija
In Mar 2016, I had severe stomach pain. I didn't know any doctor in Delhi, as I have recently shifted here. I tried self-diagnosing, but it didn't help. My office is very close to HCL's Nirman Vihar Clinic, so I decided to visit it once. That's when I met Dr. Makhija. He listened to me patiently. Not only did he thoroughly examine my health, but also discussed my family history and advised me to start eating healthy and exercising regularly.
It isn't very often that you find doctors who genuinely care for you.
