I've tried around a lot with my X system, because it can draw a lot or little power depending on its settings. E.g. if you reduce the backlight you can save at least 2 watt power. Unfortunately the backlight controls on my system don't work - I'm happy I've managed to get the driver to run at all. (Check my special article on the MSI Wind U110 for more on that.) Hence at least for now I need to set my backlight to the level I want before booting Linux.
But I did find out that disabling vsync saves quite a substantial amount of power, I think about 0.5 watt. Most of the savings come from the cpu staying in idle longer on average then (about 22 msecs instead of about 4-8 ms). The catch is that with that setting enables, xvideo and vaapi no longer work after standby. Browsing is still fine, but probably no youtube, either. The whole system hangs when an application tries to use xv. So I had to disable the setting again - which actually was the step to put my netbook in a lower power mode than the carefully customized windows installation can manage, too bad.
If I pass it or any options (except debug) to the psb module during load, or load it myself during boot, X or suspend won't work at all or properly or properly after standby.
In the xorg.conf I have the standard settings for psb:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "DRI" "on"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "IgnoreACPI" "yes"
Ralink Wifi
Another big one was the wifi adapter. Disabling it saves about 1.5-2 watts power, but of course I wanted to be able to have it running and save energy as well. I installed the newest driver from ralink's homepage. The important step was to go into the os/linux/ directory and edit the config.mk file to enable HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y, otherwise NetworkManager would no longer work with it. Then I studied the documentation and found the command "iwpriv ra0 set PSMode=Fast_PSP" put my card into a low power mode which still keeps a good and rather fast connection - better than in Windows, there this powersaving mode does not exist and the MAX_PSP is unusable.
Last Hint
A last additional hint is to kill knotify4.
In the end my system runs with 5.7 watts in a full KDE 4.3.2 X session. With mplayer and VAAPI I can now watch movies for at least 8 hours. A great demonstration of how far Linux has already come in saving power.
The only thing missing now is a working backlight control and a working XVideo without vsync would be great. Ok, an SSD would be great, too. So let me know if you have one you no longer need! ;) Or if you know how to fix the backlight control on a poulsbo system.
Maybe I should try to compile the IEGD driver for my system.
I've manged to get it all running, including no_vsync, and videoacceleration before and after suspend. The trick is to do a double console switch after resume. Then VAAPI still works even after the suspend and resume - at least with xserver-xorg-video-psb version 0.36.0-0ubuntu1ppa9.10+1.
I've managed to get the backlight working roughly as well! All I needed to do was to load msi-laptop with the parameter force=1. The problem is that there is so far very little scaling, I can only set brightness to 0 (very dark) or 1-8 (all "very bright").
Check out this article with more general advice including how ensure your battery lives long and prospers. Backlight is fixed by now, I've written a patch for the psb driver (in testing at the ppa right now). With recently kernels, the power usage dropped down to 4.8 Watts without wifi! This means it lasts much longer in Linux than in Windows now.

The Boatman
Miguel is the perfect coyote: dedicated, single-minded, his record unblemished. His home is the winding path of the migrant: the back alley gravel, the crumbled pavement, and last - the river. Despite this perfect record, Miguel is no stranger to death. His nickname, "El Maldito" hints of what we will soon see for ourselves, for Miguel seems haunted by the dead and dying. He comes upon them on desert roads; he hears their confessions, and takes part in their dying wishes. Miguel's house, much like the man himself, stands alone; yellowed photographs breathe the sigh of a life given over to a singular purpose - crossing his people to a new life. There are signs that this quiet struggle is soon to break. When a terrible wreck draws Miguel to the roadside, the order of his life comes to ruin, for Elena, the wreck's lone survivor, recognizes Miguel.

Abscond to a Castle
Dreaming of a retreat from the heat and an escape from the hustle bustle of city life? Forget the beach or the mountains and get thee to a castle.
Whether you envision a romantic step back in time or a secluded hide-out with gourmet dining, there is probably a castle for you. We discovered castle hotels all over Europe that have been completely renovated into luxury accommodations. We prefer the castles that maintain the most original character through architecture, artwork and antiques. Of course, running water is a welcome improvement.
(pictured on previous page)
1. England: Augill Castle, in the Upper Eden Valley, was built in 1841 as a Victorian gentleman's country residence. Now it is the residence of a family who welcomes all to their comfortable country house where they insist formality is strictly forbidden. (about $270 per night)
2. Ireland:<a href="http://www.castleleslie.com/home.html"> Castle Leslie in County Monaghan is one of the last great Irish Castle estates still in the hands of its founding family since the 1660's. All we can say is that this castle is gorgeous and somehow chic and historic. If we could teleport to Ireland, we would be in this hotel right now. (about $270 per night)
3. Ireland: This is a can't miss view of the Boom Boom Bathroom at Castle Leslie. Yes, it has a disco ball. The castle also boasts the oldest plumbed bath in Ireland, a throne toilet and a complete bathroom hidden away in a doll's house.
4. Scotland: Glenapp Castle, built in 1870 in the Scottish Baronial style of architecture, has been completely restored and refurbished to become a five star luxury hotel. Located on the beautiful Ayrshire coast, rooms enjoy views across the Irish Sea or the 36 acres of idyllic gardens and grounds. (about $920 for two people, including breakfast and gourmet dinner)
5. Italy: Castello di Gargonza in Tuscany is a fortified village dating back to the 1200's. The buildings have been carefully restored and provide guests the choice of a bed and breakfast arrangement or vacation apartments. The castle that Dante once stayed in now has Wi-Fi. (from $150 to $200 per night)
(pictured above)
Wales: The scenic Craig-y-Nos Castle is hidden away in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Once the home of a famous opera singer who entertained royalty, the castle was also a much less glamorous TB sanitorium and a geriatric hospital. Now it's not only an acclaimed hotel but a notorious spot for ghost hunting. (about $265 per night)
(pictured below)
Spain: The Parador de Alarcón occupies the medieval castle of the Marqueses de Villena. Founded by the Muslims in the 8th Century, the castle has a rich history and impressive art collection. It was recently remodeled to incorporate both modern and classical elements to become a unique contemporary castle. (about $280 per night)
So pack up the cheesy romance novels or books of poetry and abscond to a far away castle . . . be it in Europe or only in your dreams.

Film Review
The Dark Knight
Holy sequels! The bat is back.
This second installment of Christopher Nolan's dark, vengeful and complicated Batman had some heavy expectations looming over it. First shoe to fill: Batman Begins. The return of Batman in 2005 was welcomed and well-received by both die-hard fans and casual moviegoers, setting a new standard for all superhero flicks—not just Gotham's caped crusader. Second shoe: The second-to-last performance in the short but bright career of Heath Ledger. Since his passing early this year, all eyes have been on The Dark Knight, in which Ledger portrays superfiend Joker—a role last filled impeccably by Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman. There's been buzz on the Web for months of a posthumous Oscar nod for Ledger—a rare honor since there's only been one such win in Academy history to date (Peter Finch for his leading role in Network, 1977). It's high praise for Ledger, especially since The Dark Knight was just released last week. Expectations skyrocket.
Film Review
Mamma Mia!
Middle-aged ABBA musical not quite as cringetastic as those words imply
This isn't the first time the music of ABBA has served as the musical crux in a film about a wedding. 1994's Muriel's Wedding used the title character's obsession with the '70s Swedish quartet's glittery lady-music to underscore Muriel's disconnected idealization of romance, glamour and marriage-centered happiness, an obsession that leaves her struggling to construct a true sense of self. Mamma Mia!, on the other hand, features ABBA as a way to ... sing along to ABBA songs. And dance.

The Mitsubishi Mighty Max was originally labeled as the Mitsubishi Forte when it was introduced in Japan in 1978. It kept this name until 1986 when it was rebranded as the Strada. The Forte first entered the U.S. market in 1979 as an import sold by Chrysler. These models were branded as the Dodge Ram 50 and the Plymouth Arrow Truck.
It was only after Plymouth ceased operations in 1996 that Mitsubishi decided to import the truck directly to the U.S. under its then current name, the Mighty Max. The previous models offered under Dodge and Plymouth were still in circulation, but the overlapping changeover ensured a seamless transition.
Even as a compact pickup truck, the Mitsubishi Mighty Max was smaller in size compared to offerings from competitors in the same class. However, this only added to its short-lived success.
The Mitsubishi Mighty Max was only made available as an extended cab but offered variations between two and four-wheel drive and between two engine types: the four-cylinder or six-cylinder. While the Mighty Max wasn't known for any particular advancement in styling, this characteristic was the reason why it was one of the most popular compact pickup trucks in the mid-1990s. It was simple and was the workman's choice for a no frills utility vehicle.
Many reviews and tests described the Mitsubishi Mighty Max as having good fuel economy while providing lots of power and torque. This balance influenced many businesses to opt for the Mighty Max to be its fleet vehicle of choice. Even given its history as the preferred pickup truck of laborers, the Mighty Max was later customized by many members of the modified car scene. This helped contribute to a thriving demand for aftermarket parts.
Powered by a 116 hp 2.4-liter SOHC four-cylinder engine, the main feature of the Mighty Max was its mid-end torque of 136 lb-ft at 3500 rpm. This made it capable of hauling heavy loads without needing a lot of power. Mitsubishi included its balance shaft technology throughout all variants, which helped to minimize vibrations and gave the Mighty Max a smooth ride. The bench seat inside was another factor that contributed to its overall high comfort level.
While two full-grown adults are able to sit comfortably inside the cabin, there are reports that three adults may be overcrowded. This is because the placement of the transmission in both automatic and manual models causes a control handle to extrude from the floor and into the crotch of the middle occupant. For a utility vehicle however, this did not pose any real setbacks. Overall, the interior remained cozy, even with its plain plastic accents. The cabin resembled the boxy shape of the exterior and was just as simple. The real strength of the Mighty Max resides in its reliability as the ideal all-purpose pickup truck. Economically priced and light on maintenance, many households included the Mighty Max in the lineup of automobiles in the driveway.
Even though there were no airbags or anti-lock brakes available on any of the Mighty Max variants, the lack of these features helped keep the price down and the focus on its more core features, such as the engine and drivetrain. Some options that were available were a single-disc compact disc player and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The Mighty Max was not without some degree of safety, as it came fitted with side-impact door beams and a stiff ladder frame. This frame was highly regarded for its rigidity, which resisted flex on the chassis when carrying heavy loads.
Mitsubishi gave the Mighty Max a tilt steering wheel and the option of power steering as an optional upgrade that was highly recommended. This is due to the fact parking with a full truckload is difficult without this feature. It did not help the situation that the weight distribution leaned more towards the front of the vehicle and the Mighty Max was front-wheel drive, as are most compact pickup trucks.
The Mitsubishi Mighty Max may have been discontinued, but its legacy lived on as the Mitsubishi Raider. Unlike its predecessor, the Raider was not imported but rather built in the U.S. by Chrysler. It was a midsize pickup truck powered by a 4.7-liter V-8 engine that offered 230 hp at the crank. There was also an available 3.7-liter 210-hp V-6 variant that was made available in 2008. The last Raider was manufactured in 2010.
Although the Mighty Max was officially built and brought to the U.S. market starting in 1982, the Mitsubishi Forte, Dodge Ram 50, and Plymouth Arrow Truck were built on the same framework. These previous versions featured four and five-speed manual and three and four-speed automatic transmissions with rear and four-wheel drive variations.
1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max
Truck, Utility/Offroad
1996 marks the final model year for the Mitsubishi Mighty Max.
1995 Mitsubishi Mighty Max
The Mitsubishi Mighty Max, also known as the Triton in Japan, is a compact pickup truck with modest power but plenty of reliability.

Maine Gov. LePage vs. The Environment
The current conversation around political campfires here in Maine focuses on whether Gov. Paul LePage's star has already set, less than four months after taking office. I've argued here that he's certainly taken a hit, while Portland Press Herald columnist and editorial writer Greg Kesich has gone so far as to declare "the LePage era is over."
Murals aside, one of the principal causes of Mr. LePage's loss of influence has been his ill-considered assault on Maine's environmental and product safety laws, which has featured a range of proposed regulatory rollbacks that appear to benefit only the out-of-state chemical, toy, and pharmaceutical companies whose lobbyists wrote much of the governor's reform agenda. In this month's Down East, I explore the origins of and political reaction to the governor's rollback plan, much of which has been stricken from the relevant bills by the Republican-controlled legislature.

ASCAP Claiming That Creative Commons Must Be Stopped; Apparently They Don't Actually Believe In Artist Freedom
from the protectionism-all-the-way dept
Now it appears they're stepping things up to stage two: they've sent around fundraising emails that specifically ask for money to fight Creative Commons, EFF and Public Knowledge. What's amusing (but really sad) is that this proves that the rhetoric out of ASCAP about protecting "artists' rights" is bunk. Creative Commons does nothing whatsoever to undermine artists' rights. It merely offers them more options for how they choose to license their works. It's the sort of thing that ASCAP and the rest of the music industry should embrace. In fact, when confronted, many of these organizations often make the point that they have no problem with Creative Commons, and they're happy if artists choose to use CC licenses.
But ASCAP's blatant attack on Creative Commons (and EFF and PK; both of whom focus on consumer rights, but not undermining artist's rights at all) shows their true colors. They're not about artists' rights at all. They're about greater protectionism -- which is not (at all) the same thing.
Of course, all this makes me wonder why ASCAP members would support an organization that is, in fact, actively trying to diminish their options for licensing? ASCAP has a huge ulterior motive, of course. If alternative business models and things like Creative Commons become more widely used, the reliance on ASCAP diminishes, and ASCAP doesn't want that at all.
Below is the letter itself, which was posted by Mike Rugnetta:

TownePlace Suites Harrisburg Hershey Lets Guests Share Breakfast With Kids in Need
TownePlace Suites Harrisburg Hershey Lets Guests Share Breakfast With Kids in Need
HARRISBURG, PA--(Marketwire - Feb 5, 2013) - Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but nearly one in five kids starts their day without it each morning. TownePlace Suites Harrisburg Hershey is teaming up with Kellogg's to help feed hungry kids with the Kellogg's Share Breakfast™ program.

Each morning at this hotel's complimentary continental breakfast, guests can sign a dedicated poster board. For every signature, Kellogg's will donate one breakfast.
This Harrisburg hotel, along with the entire TownePlace Suites brand, is aiming to collect 15,000 signatures from guests, staff and members of the community. And for those who share Kellogg's mission through social media, the company will donate money to Action for Healthy Kids to help increase participation in the national School Breakfast Program.

Suites are 25% larger than average, offering plenty of space for working and living.

Our Jeep bounces around a tight bend in the River Gorge, and suddenly the rock walls fall away, revealing a hidden valley straight out of a fairy tale. A dozen or so jagged mountains rise up 6,500 feet from a lush, 15-mile-long pasture that's split by a chalky green river. I've been searching for a place like this for more than a decade, and now that I've found it I'm buzzing with anticipation. I fling open the door before the vehicle has even stopped rolling and jump onto the grass. My climbing partners, Jared Ogden and the famed Everest mountaineer Pete Athans, join me seconds later, slapping high fives and gesturing spastically at the peaks. We are the first Western climbers to lay eyes on this particular valley, located at 13,000 feet on the eastern edge of the Tibet plateau in China's Sichuan Province. In fact, only one other Westerner has been to the Jarjinjabo Valley before us.
A landscape like this was the stuff of my dreams – and, I was certain, nothing more – when I started climbing in the mid-1980s. I grew up with the sad impression that I had missed out on mountaineering's golden age – the time up through the 1950s, when most of the world's greatest peaks were conquered: Nanda Devi, in India, by Eric Shipton and H.W. Tilman in 1934; Mount Everest in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay; K2 in 1954 by a team of Italian climbers.
But one of mountaineering's best-kept secrets is that there are thousands of virgin peaks, many as tall as 23,000 feet, in places like Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Bhutan, and China. The truth is, the golden age is still very much alive. And the Jarjinjabo Valley, whose most tantalizing features are Janmo and Jarjinjabo, two 17,000-foot granite spires, is breathtaking proof.
Our team was on an expedition sponsored by the gear and clothing manufacturer The North Face. When we arrived at the airport in Chengdu, Sichuan's capital, in August, we were met by Zhang Jiyue, a fun-loving 41-year-old Chinese adventurer who would serve as our guide and outfitter. We loaded up two jeeps with food and equipment and headed west for the Jarjinjabo Valley, 300 miles away.
Three days later we pulled into the valley, and we were immediately surrounded by a crew of hyperactive, curious boys. Most of the 60 or so families living here are nomads who move camp a few times a year. About ten families, though, have set up a small permanent village of wooden huts near Zhopu Lake. In addition to herding yaks, they grow crops of barley and potatoes. The village mayor, a stringy, wrinkled man named Chedzi, welcomed us with handshakes and friendly slaps on the back.
We spent the first few days acclimatizing to the elevation by hiking around the valley and visiting the locals in their smoky yak-hair tents. They offered us tsampa (roasted barley flour) and yak butter tea. Wealso explored the Zhopu monastery. Built in 1260, it's one of the few on the plateau not completely destroyed by the Chinese in the late fifties.
The prevailing wisdom says you need a day to acclimatize for each 1,000 feet of elevation gain, but after just three days our curiosity about those granite spires got the better of us. We found a trail leading through the old-growth forest in the general direction of Janmo and Jarjinjabo, and all of us were soon sucking wind – including Pete, who has summited Mount Everest seven times. It took us close to two hours of hard slogging before we emerged into a small hanging valley with a crystal clear brook coursing through it. Janmo and Jarjinjabo rose straight ahead. If these spires were located anywhere else, say in Patagonia or along the Baltoro Glacier in Pakistan's Karakoram range, they would undoubtedly be famous…and long since climbed.
Centuries before Tibetan Buddhism emerged there was a shamanistic religion called Bön – in which certain geological formations were considered deities. Bön survives today in a few isolated spots. In the Jarjinjabo Valley there is a myth, likely of Bön origin, that the mountains are actually living characters. Their story goes like this: Jarjinjabo and Janmo were husband and wife. Jarjinjabo left the valley to go on a pilgrimage to Lhasa; Janmo had an affair with another peak and gave birth to several children before Jarjinjabo returned. The smaller surrounding rock towers are those children. I wanted to climb the whole family.
Of the two towers Janmo (the unfaithful wife) is the more slender and aesthetically pleasing. It's also slightly shorter than Jarjinjabo, so we made a plan to climb it first. We would start out in the morning, but we couldn't wait that long to test out the granite. The three of us have climbed granite in just about every corner of the world, including Pakistan, Baffin Island, and Irian Jaya, and when we laid hands to the stone we were shocked. "This is some of the best rock I've ever seen," Jared said as he scrambled a few feet up the bottom of Janmo. The rough brown granite is infused with quartz crystals that make excellent footholds, and, unbelievably, there are no loose flakes.
The next morning high cirrus clouds with mare's tails were blowing in from the southeast. "The good weather looks as if it's on its way out," said Pete as he handed me a steaming mug of coffee. We wasted no time in our preparations; two hours later I was standing next to Jared at the base of Janmo, belaying Pete up the first pitch. He jammed his hands and feet into the vertical crack and shuffled his way up, stopping every ten feet or so to place a protection device and then clipping his rope to it with a carabineer. (This is called free climbing.) About 120 feet off the ground Pete called down, "Off belay." Soon the rope was tugging on my harness, so I followed Pete's lead, trailing a second cord for Jared, who would come up last. As I scaled the pitch with the rope overhead I removed the devices that Pete had placed in the crack. In this manner we were able to climb the spire without physically altering it.
"One of the best pitches of my life!" exclaimed Pete as I high-fived him at the belay. Straight above, a six-foot roof stuck out directly over our heads. From the bottom we had seen that this overhang would likely be the crux of the entire route. I was intimidated, but this was exactly what I'd come for: a test. I learned back in high school that climbing is about trying to make your life as difficult as possible. In this sport you literally hang by your fingertips, and the cost of screwing up could be serious injury or death. The intensity is something I crave, like a drug.
The first few moves off the belay required splitting my legs between the walls of an open book. As I inched my way out under the roof, my weight was almost entirely supported by my arms. It's precisely at this point, when you're most likely to fall, that you have to stay the most calm and collected. So I took a few deep breaths, then swung my leg onto a small quartz edge. With my right hand locked into the coarse granite crack, I reached around the lip with my left hand looking for a slot. When I felt my hand settle deep into the crack, I flexed the muscles in my forearm, creating a hold known as a hand jam. It was a tough move (rated 5.10 on a scale of 5.1 to 5.15), especially considering the altitude (over 16,000 feet). With my left hand locked securely in the crack, I shook out my other arm and released my anxiety with a yell that echoed off the surrounding rocks.
By afternoon most of the 1,200-foot wall was below us. We were huddled on a small ledge underneath a 100-foot pinnacle – the very tip of the formation. But the only way to reach Janmo's highest point would be to drill a ladder of bolts up the blank granite. Rock walls are often conquered with the drill, but in this case we agreed it was unjustified. We wanted to leave the rock as nature had created it rather than drill into it so we could say we'd stood on the very top.
The storm that had been threatening all day finally hit as we finished our last rappel back to the ground – and it stranded us in camp for five long days. When it finally broke we set off toward a 2,000-foot buttress dropping off the left side of Jarjinjabo's east face. An alpenglow lit the wall, revealing every nook, cranny, and pocket. With numb hands we picked our way up the impeccable granite, following a circuitous path between a series of tricky minarets. After 12 hours of continuous climbing Jared led us over a final overhanging headwall and up to the 17,200-foot summit.
Unlike that of Janmo, the top of Jarjinjabo is a plateau several hundred feet across with a small snowfield covering it. We scrambled onto the highest boulder, shook hands, and built a small cairn. "Check out that no man's land back there," said Jared, pointing off the backside to where snow-covered peaks and purple valleys stretched as far as we could see. The realization that this territory had likely never been trodden by any person, Tibetan or otherwise, struck something deep in my soul. Here's a place where I can explore and climb for the rest of my life and never run out of first ascents – a place where, in many ways, the golden age is just beginning.

About Group | 26/01/11
With the release of 'You're No Good' on 14th March 2011, the first single from their forthcoming second album, About Group have really thrown down the gauntlet in terms of ambition by re-envisioning a landmark track by avant garde legend Terry Riley, which suggests to us About Group are unafraid of a challenge
In 1967 Terry Riley created 'You're No Good' by taking Harvey Averne's latin tinged soul song of the same name as his starting point, transforming it into a free flowing piece of tape loop improvisation by running two copies of the track alongside one another, weaving between the tapes, dropping out and slowing down, practically dismantling the entire thing from scratch. Some might say it was the world's first ever remix, another feather to add to the esteemed minimal composer's cap.
Whereas Riley's experiment was clearly a meticulously labored over affair, About Group reinterpret 'You're No Good' in real time, playing a live version in the studio, deconstructing the song down to it's bare bones, before building up to create a loose kind of pop improv. What they ended up with is an eleven minute space jam that combines Riley's ambitious experimentation with the street level funkiness of Harvey Averne's original, whilst carving out a sound of their own.
About Group are comprised of esteemed musicians Charles Hayward (This Heat, Camberwell Now, Monkey Puzzle Trio, Clear Frame), John Coxon (Spring Heel Jack, Spiritualized), Pat Thomas (player with Derek Bailey, Tony Oxley, Jimmy Carl Black and Eugene Chadbourne amongst countless others) and Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip).
'You're No Good' is released on 14th March on 12" vinyl (RUG379) and via digital download (RUG379D). The single is backed with an exclusive version of album track 'Rough And Smooth'.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. markets have been floating along in uneasy calm, with low volume, low volatility, and a looming fear that threats could soon rock that complacency. Such a threat may arrive in the coming days.
The markets are gearing up for some high-profile economic data that culminates with the monthly nonfarm payrolls report on Friday. Investors are also expecting potentially ground-shaking monetary policy actions from the European Central Bank when it concludes its meeting on Thursday. And that's after a U.S. manufacturing report on Monday that already provided a dose of excitement when it was corrected multiple times for calculation errors.
"This is a big week for the global capital markets," said analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman, who called it the "potentially most significant week of 2014."
The growing expectations on Wall Street that accompany this week's top-tier events would be enough to capture market attention in their own right. But they come amid a market lull that many investors believe is waiting for a jolt. The CBOE Volatility index VIX, -1.44% is near its lowest level in more than a year and stock trading volume remains tepid, as investors come to terms with minimal visibility about what's on the horizon.
Read more: Why stocks are being held back from a big breakout
The S&P 500 index SPX, +1.32% is up 4.1% on the year, but stock investors are casting a nervous eye at U.S. Treasurys, whose yields have defied most expectations and fallen sharply this year. The 10-year Treasury note US:10_YEAR yield is down nearly half a percentage point on the year, aided by the closing out of short positions as investors landed on the wrong side of the rising-rate trade. But as those trades begin to vanish, investors are wondering whether yields will reverse, igniting tumult across markets.
Here's what's in store for the rest of the week.
The economic calendar warms up with U.S. motor vehicle sales, part of a series of indicators that investors expect to show growth. Economists polled by MarketWatch project autos sold at an annualized pace of 16.1 million, up from 16.0 million in the prior month. A report on factory orders is also due out.
See the full economic calendar
Inflation in the euro-zone fell to its lowest level in more than four years last month, data showed Tuesday, adding to expectations the European Central Bank will take additional easing measures. Consumer prices rose by 0.5% in the twelve months through May, falling short of analyst forecasts. It was also well below the ECB's target rate of 2.0%.
After the data, the Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +1.80% was down 0.6% on the session. The euro strengthened on the day to $1.3636.
The U.S. ADP employment report may provide clues about what to expect in the more highly-watched payrolls report. The reading on private-sector jobs growth last month showed 220,00 new positions.
|MARKETWATCH Consensus
|Aug. 13
|Retail sales
|Aug. 13
|Retail sales ex-autos
|Aug. 15
|Producer price index
|Aug. 15
|Empire state index
|Aug. 15
|Industrial production
|Aug. 15
|Consumer sentiment
Other indicators include the trade deficit, productivity, and the ISM non-manufacturing report.
The Federal Reserve's Beige book will provide anecdotal descriptions of how the economy is performing in each of the central bank's regions. While it likely won't have a large impact on Fed policy making, it may inform the discussion about how the central bank is thinking about the economy.
Investors are trying to gauge when and how the central bank may raise its key lending rate, and whether the peak rate will be as high as it was in past economic cycles. The answer to those questions will be important in determining how much further the five-year-old bull market in stocks has to run, and how high yields will eventually rise.
On Thursday, investors will turn their attentions to the European Central Bank, which is widely expected to announce a package of easing measures to combat low inflation in the euro zone. The euro EURUSD, -0.2458% is down 2.3% since May 7, the day before ECB President Mario Draghi hinted at easing measures in June. If the easing actions aren't dovish enough for the market's taste, the euro could surge.
Read more: ECB expected to slash rates, hold back on QE bazooka
The Bank of England will also meet, but fewer investors expect action. A falling unemployment rate could prompt the central bank to raise its interest rates, but the consensus seems to be that rate hikes won't come until next year.
World leaders from the so-called Group of Seven will be meeting in Brussels on Thursday in a gathering that was initially intended to include Russia, which has since been barred. Countries that will be in attendance are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
And finally, the nonfarm payrolls report will cap off an already exciting week. Economists expect 210,000 new jobs were created in May, down from the impressive gains logged in April, but still substantial growth as the labor market continues to improve.
Read more: May likely to bring shower of new U.S. jobs
Economists largely believe that the pace of job creation will pick up this year, but the more difficult question to answer will be how this filters through to the broader economy. To help gauge the intersection of labor market improvement and economic growth, investors will look to wage growth, which has been frustratingly stagnant.
In April, weekly wages for the average American workers were up just 0.2% over the previous year. But if that number starts to move higher, stock and bond investors may re-calibrate their assessment of the economic recovery, and the resulting expectation of when the central bank will raise rates.

I think sometimes it is necessary for one to acknowledge a mistake and eat a little humble pie. -- last week I left a comment on the 'Next Chapter: 5' page using the word 'bs' about some of the thoughts put out by the author -- Well, there is a at least a bare minimum of 5 other ways to say something without throwing the baby out with the bath water or being disrespectful. So to my colleagues, friends, Jamie and fellow blogger's on this path please accept a heartfelt apology for my choice in expressing myself.
Love & Light

Well, we pretty much had the route spec down for this episode except there was NOT another location between the roadblock and detour. That might have been the most unevenly timed detour I've ever seen. MoJo made up at least an hour on the detour alone.

You're safe on a business jet
ALL TRANSPORTATION METHODS INVOLVE some risk, but corporate/executive business jets enjoy a stellar safety record, with only one fatal accident since 2007. That's according to statistics on U.S.-registered aircraft from Robert E. Breiling Associates, an aviation-safety research firm. Corporate/executive turboprops have fared slightly worse, with one fatal accident in 2007, two in 2008, three in 2009 and none in the first half of this year.
The lowest fatality rates per 100,000 flight hours belong to corporate/executive aviation and airlines (see chart). Business aviation (generally owner-flown aircraft) ranks next, followed by the charter industry. Note that the charter rates cover everything from single-engine visual flights skirting weather in Alaska to aeromedical operations to jets. The accident rate for the entire general aviation industry is highest, but that category is even broader-it encompasses everything from professionally flown corporate jets to flight training in single-engine piston-powered aircraft.
One segment that has had a particularly impressive safety record over the years is fractional-share operations. This category experienced no fatal accidents from 2007 through the first half of 2010.
Recent Breiling statistics do indicate one worrisome trend. There were 17 incidents in the first six months of 2010 versus 11 in the same period in 2009 in the corporate/executive jet segment, which could be a precursor of increased accidents. For all of 2009, there were 17 incidents in that segment. Corporate/executive turboprop operations saw a much lower incident rate, with four in the first half of 2010 versus one in the same period in 2009.
Safety is a moving target, and aircraft operators recognize that an accident-free history is no guarantee of future results. The aviation industry has recently taken steps to mitigate the risk of flying even further. Under the new Safety Management System (SMS), the operator of an aircraft creates a formal process to evaluate, minimize and prevent risk exposure. Essentially, SMS helps operators create a feedback loop for preventing small risk-taking actions from turning into incidents and accidents. Many airlines, flight departments, charter and fractional-share operations have already adopted SMS programs, and the FAA is planning to make SMS mandatory in the U.S. SMS is already required in many other countries.
You can help minimize your exposure to risk with a few simple moves. One is to communicate your desire that safety be the first priority: let your flight crews know that you'd rather arrive late than take undue risks. You can implement an SMS in your flight department or fly with charter operators that have implemented one. You can also vet charter operators via services like ChartexX/Wyvern and Aviation Research Group's Cheq Online system. To investigate a specific company's accident history, you can use the National Transportation Safety Board's query tool and type the name of the operator in the word string field.

Texas catfish producers may qualify for benefits from the U.S. Government, based on their catfish farm income in 2001and 2002. Catfish producers eligible for the program will constitute producers of food fish. If a producer of catfish can document a decline in income in 2002 versus 2001, he or she should further investigate this Catfish Technical Assistance Program.
The Catfish Technical Assistance Program provides business owners, producers and their employees relief from hardships created by foreign import competition. Benefits can come as cash or technical and educational re-training. Producers become eligible if their gross revenue did not exceed $2.5 million dollars for the preceding 3 years.
Cash payments may be as much as $10,000, depending on the amount of product harvested. Also, average price for the commodity in the most recent 12 months must be less than 80 percent of the average price over the past five years in which data are available. Imports of directly competing products must have increased during the most recent 12-month period. And this import increase must have "contributed importantly" to the price decrease.
Catfish farmers interested in the program must apply for benefits at their County USDA Farm Service Agency office no later than February l6, 2004. Following the application, producers will be required to submit various production documents and receive technical training from Texas Cooperative Extension. The training sessions will be offered in public meeting format and/or individual consultation/small group sessions by the County Extension office.
The program is available through the Trade Act of 1974, as amended by the Trade Act of 2002, which established Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers.
The technical assistance will be provided at no cost to the producers. Sources for assistance are also listed at http://www.agrisk.umn.edu/taex. Producers may contact their local FSA office, or Texas Cooperative Extension Office for more information on this program.

A jury on Thursday convicted former SAC Capital Advisors trader Mathew Martoma of insider trading, providing another win for prosecutors in their long-running legal battle with SAC founder Steven A. Cohen.
Continue Reading Below
Martoma, 39, was found guilty on all counts of using inside information gleaned from doctors involved in a clinical trial for an Alzheimer's drug under development by drug makers Elan Corp. and Wyeth, which has since been acquired by Pfizer (NYSE:PFE).
Prosecutors said in terms of the money involved it was the largest insider-trading case ever prosecuted.
After receiving a tip from a doctor, Sidney Gilman, who testified during the court proceedings, that the drug had responded poorly in medical trials, Martoma used the information to begin selling off SAC's $700 million position in Elan and Wyeth in July 2008.
The negative results of the medical trial weren't released publicly until later that month.
The trades based on the illegally obtained, confidential information helped SAC generate profits and avoid losses of $275 million, prosecutors said.
"Martoma bought the answer sheet before the exam – more than once – netting a quarter billion dollars in profits and losses avoided for SAC, as well as a $9 million bonus for him," U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara said in a statement.
"In the short run, cheating may have been profitable for Martoma, but in the end, it made him a convicted felon, and likely will result in the forfeiture of his illegal windfall and the loss of his liberty," Bharara added.
Chicago-based securities attorney Andrew Stoltmann said the case was a difficult one for prosecutors because of credibility issues related to Gilman.
"Bringing, trying and winning tough cases deter others who contemplate engaging in insider trading. This case really exposed many of the tactics hedge funds have used for years and provides yet another black eye for Steven A. Cohen," Stoltmann said.
When Martoma was arrested in November 2012, prosecutors said he had a 20-minute conversation with Cohen after receiving the tip from the doctor. The contents of that conversation are unknown.
Cohen, once one of the most high-profile U.S. hedge fund managers, was not named in the Martoma complaint but is described as "Portfolio Manager A," who was said to have collaborated with Martoma as trades were made using the illegal information.
Martoma refused to cooperate with prosecutors. FOX Business reported that SAC Capital Advisors apparently paid Martoma's legal bills.
Cohen has not been criminally charged in any of the insider trading cases swirling around his hedge fund. The SEC wants to bar him from the securities industry for not properly supervising Martoma and another SAC trader, Michael Steinberg, who was convicted in December of insider trading.
Cohen has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Thomas Gorman, a partner at the law firm Dorsey Whitney and an expert in SEC enforcement and insider trading, said the Martoma conviction could ultimately help the SEC in its civil case against Cohen.
"The conviction of Mr. Martoma can only aid the SEC in its effort to achieve what the U.S. Attorney did not, establishing wrong doing by Mr. Cohen," Gorman said.
A criminal indictment against SAC filed by federal prosecutors last summer alleged a comprehensive and elaborate company-wide mindset with a trading strategy predicated on "seeking an edge" through gathering illegal inside information that could generate profits for the firm.
SAC pleaded guilty to the criminal charges in November and has agreed to pay a record $1.8 billion in fines related to the various insider trading charges. The firm has also been barred from investing client's money and now manages only Cohen's considerable fortune, said to be worth about $9 billion.
The U.S. Attorney's Office noted that Martoma is the 79th person convicted of insider trading either following a trial or by pleading guilty after being charged by Bharara's office.

The First Peace; My Search For The Better Angels
Charles Wilson Hatfield
AuthorHouse (2013)
Reviewed by Jennifer Hass for Reader Views (01/14)
Article first published as Book Review: 'The First Peace' by Charles Wilson Hatfield on Blogcritics.
When I first received "The First Peace; My Search For The Better Angels" by Charles Wilson Hatfield for review, I was intimidated by the 570 pages of what I thought might end up being a preachy read. I was really wrong and I am glad I had the chance to read this book.
Mr. Hatfield has written a very detailed account of his life experiences. The best part was the pure honesty that bleeds through these pages. From the very start, I felt like Charles was talking to me directly, telling me stories. I would actually love the chance to shake his hand. For the honesty, the wrongs, the rights, the struggle to find the truth in his own faith, what he stood for and even for the differences in political views. I can respect this man 100% just for the honesty alone.
I found myself laughing at times. I laughed the hardest reading the part during Mass where after the Prayers of the People someone farted during the bow:
"The silence and solemnity of the moment was broken when James farted as everyone was bowing. The sound of his flatulence echoed and reverberated. I, still bowing, turned my head to the left, to the source of the sound that John, with all his emissive sounds, had not made.
The woman sitting behind James had turned to look in my direction. Her eyes – which locked with mine for a moment – were opened so wide that they appeared ready to fall from their respective sockets. Both the woman and James were still bowing; her head was not more than several inches from James' ass."
I laughed so hard my mom questioned what was so funny as I was sitting in silence reading. I had to go back and read from the beginning of this chapter to her. She too, found this very humorous and was interested in reading what more Charles had written in this book.
Another highlight, but not a funny one, was the confession of infidelity. WOW! I found it amazing how truly human Mr. Hatfield is, how fully aware he is of his life's mistakes and indiscretions, but the willingness to be honest takes the most courage and it is commendable. For Mr. Hatfield, there are many notable instances where his faith was questioned and his morals were tested. I find that even in the struggle "For The Better Angels" Charles did what he could to sort out a situation and recognize, for him, what was morally correct.
I believe things happen for a reason, like when Charles was rejected from being ordained. This inspired a lengthy letter, a letter of questions that needed to be answered for him. There are several different emails in the book that were sent out to different people, including President Barack Obama. These emails were filled with, what seemed to me, the sorting of religious matters, quotes and theories that Charles has used during his search to understand life and the not-so-fair circumstances that happen.
I am pleased I had the chance to read and review "The First Peace; My Search For The Better Angels" by Charles Wilson Hatfield. With this read, I found more of an understanding of the need for this world to be more accepting of others, even if our beliefs or our political views are different. I have a great respect for Mr. Hatfield and there is really no proper (or improper) way to review this title, rather the understanding of a human and learning about the life of another.

Conference coaches selected the Bisons to tie with Jacksonville for first place in the Atlantic Sun regular season. They also chose the Bisons to win the conference championship, which would give the Bisons their first ever NCAA berth.
"Back in 2006-2007 we were picked to win the league and the prediction was correct," said Sanderson. "That's a great thing. "I've said many times that polls are just the opinions of other people. But other teams look at you differently. Other teams prepare a little bit differently for you knowing that you have a chance to be one of the better teams in the league. "
Sanderson told his team that he is certain of one thing at this stage of preseason. There are 10 other teams working as hard as they can to win the conference championship.
"They are all in their offices and on their floors in practice trying to decide how to pull the pieces they have together to give them the best chance to win it all at the end of four or five months," said Sanderson. "I don't care whether a team is picked first or last. Right now, everybody likes the pieces they have on their team.
"You can't sit there and be concerned with the pieces you have. You have to figure out how to play together and have the best chance to compete night-in and night-out to win a championship."
One of the main areas of concern for the Bisons is the point guard position. Johnny Lee, a transfer from George Washington University; freshman Zach Brown and red-shirt freshman Jacob Arnett are all candidates to fill the role.
"We have to have a solid point guard," said Sanderson. "With the team we have coming back and the things we can do on both ends of the floor the point guard doesn't have to be great. The point guard has to be a low-mistake guy who can take care of the basketball. He has to be able to distribute the basketball to the guys in positions to where they can score and be the most successful.
"He doesn't have to score 20 points a game. He just has to take care of the ball and be solid for us defensively. With our team the point guard has to get the ball down deep in the paint to Adnan Hodzic. He has to get the ball to Michael Teller or Jordan Burgason on a penetrating pitch where they can shoot open threes. He has to give the other players on the team the chance to be successful by the decisions he makes coming down the floor."
All three players have plusses and minuses when their styles of play are evaluated.
"Johnny Lee is an older kid who has been around for awhile," said Sanderson. "He has a little more experience but it is his first year in our program.
"Zach Brown is a true freshman. He is very, very smart. He has a very good understanding of the game. He picks things up extremely quick. He shoots the ball extremely well. He is a good decision maker. But he has never played a college game."
Sanderson compares Arnett to guard Michael Lusk, who finished his eligibility with the team last season.
"Jacob Arnett will play the wing, but his like Lusk. He is a different type of point guard. He is stronger and more physical than the other two. He is a pretty good defender, probably a little better than the other two.
"But can he think the position? I don't know."
The point guard this season will be running an offense that plans to pick up its tempo from last season.
"We have so many guys who can shoot the ball and Adnan down in the low post," said Sanderson. "I would like to see a few more possessions in the game. I think that would play into our hands.
"I'm not talking about playing wild. But if we can get up and down the floor and hit more cheap baskets I really feel like we can more the needle in a hurry. We have some drivers. We have some shooters. We have some low post guys."
Hodzic, selected by the conference coaches to the preseason All-Conference Team, is expected to be the centerpiece of the team.
"We will still do a lot of four-out, one-in stuff. We have the best player in the league in Adnan and he needs to touch the ball often."
