J-live – Braggin Writes lyrics

This song also appears on "Haze Presents DJ Premier's Reality Check"

For underground metaphors
You can scrape an inch below the turf for what it's worth
My style's been developed in the core of the Earth
The exhale's volcanic the inhale is seismic
So brothers just panic when he Live one arrives with
The natural ability to run through your crew
From 2 1 4 to 2 1 3 to 2 1 2
In other words from Dallas to L. A., to the place where J stay
Everyday is mayday
So you can talk your trash on how you're wettin mc's
With mad blood stains but I'll bet you can't stand the rain
I look upon your brain with disdain
Go back and reflect on my endeavors black I can't complain
It's like a raw deal, consistant with the way I make you feel
The ends stay revealed while the means I conceal
And those who try to steal get decapitated
You wanna snatch my H2o type flow, but it evaporated
I displays my credentials over instrumentals
And my potential, increases at a rate that's exponential
It's detremental questionin my thesis
The penetration's exact, like amniocentesis
I rip your rhyme to pieces after drainin out your fluid
My vocab is fluent yours is evident of being truant
I know you wanna make moves but son you best to take a second look
Before my knight takes your rook

Cause everybody's rappin, and only few can flow
So why the hell they tryin to deal with Live I don't know
I handle true mc's on their block or at their show
So if you come with bull kid, keep it on the low

Cause yo, I got the hairsplittin, self-written unbitten style
That leaves the competition running scared and shakin in their pants
You best to set it off cause black it aint no second chance
Once I'm open, all you doin is hopin that the Live one
Will put the mic down, but son don't try to snatch it after
The laughter won't cease from the comparison, how dare you son
Step around the booth when I'm on
The microphone magician says poof, you're gone with the wind
There's no trace of your friends cause you don't know where the
Beginning ends or where the end begins
But you see that's the difference, you get sold, I get paid
Black I told you, get paid
If you're broke I'll have to rain on your parade
You belong in Special Ed if you think you Got It Made
J-Live with the mic is like the chef with the blade
Cause suckers get sliced and sauteed
Yeah, you thought your joint was fly but the flight was delayed

Chorus: repeat 2X

Cause yo, I take the grey matter of pretenders
Through my mental blender, and then return to sender
My pen don't pretend to offend
I intend to render mc's, hangin loose like a fender bender
I recommend regardless of your gender
That you strike messin with J-Live from your agenda
And remember that whoever lends a helpin hand to defend ya
Will get burned to a cinder
As I end the, reign of wack mc's with their suicidal tendencies
Renderin me sick, with the thoughts of killin enemies
But then I return to reality
Metaphorically murderin mc's when they battle me
You can't rattle me
I'm not your average snake slitherin through the grass
I surpass the serpent as I head to class
You consider me crass as I wax that ass; style's no joke
But you best belive I gets the last laugh

iNMR 5.2.4 released

The latest Mac version of iNMR is 5.2.4, released today. Due to popular demand it restores the slider for zero-order phase correction, which reappears side-by-side with the knob that has been in its place for a whole year. Their function is equivalent. This seems to be a case where it's better to have redundant controls.

Silence is golden

The other night, my partner Michael and I were in our home office, and we looked at each other quizzically. “Does it seem really quiet in here?” I asked. Mike was sitting at the Mac and I was at my desk, and strangely, the whir and hum of my Mac and its multiple peripherals was… eerily silent. And when we went to sleep that night, neither of us had to bolt upright to turn off the Mac because it was too loud. I can say with certainty that we owe this all to the latest Mac mini.

See, in my test-run with the latest Mac mini, I decided to take advantage of my position as one of the luckiest Mac users alive (a.k.a. a Macworld editor) by turning this irresistible little machine into my own Mac for about a week. I mean, of course I had to see whether I wanted to buy one for myself—and whether Michael would pony up half the cash. (I may be lucky, but Apple doesn’t give us editors Macs for free…)

I switched from my elderly 450MHz Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics, grey and white, thank you very much), which is definitely end-of-life and sadly slow, and whose constant whirring fan has been driving us slowly insane. I eagerly used the Migration Assistant to get all my files over to the Mac mini, I moved the cables, and I shut down the old computer. Don’t tell Jen’s Butt Kicker—name of hard drive upon formatting in 2000—but I don’t think I’m going back.

I can’t tell for sure, but I’m almost certain that this little SuperDrive-laden Mac mini is significantly quieter than the previous model I reviewed back in January. It doesn’t make any noise when I do basic tasks like double-clicking, its hard drive doesn’t noticeably spin up, and I can barely hear whether it’s waking from sleep when I tap on the keyboard. It’s like a luxury car: I start it up and can't even tell it’s running.

It’s all a little eerie for now, but I get the feeling it will all work out in the end.

Happy Pie Day! (Limerick)

So, is everyone ready for National Pie Day? It’s celebrated every year on January 23rd. Warning: Do NOT confuse it with Pi Day, which is celebrated annually on March 14th.

I actually hate pie. (Now a good chocolate brownie is another story altogether.) But I wouldn’t let my pie-aversion get in the way of a limerick:

Pie-Eyed Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane

“Two holidays often confused
Are Pi Day and Pie Day,” he mused.
“One’s for math-hungry dudes
And dudettes. One’s for foods.
For the former, I need to be boozed.”

  1. RMP says:

    I admit for a moment I actually thought to myself, “but it’s not March?!?” sadly I must also admit I wrote a ballad for the version that requires booze. this was a fun verse.

  2. madkane says:

    LOL! And thanks RMP!

“A lot of people are too scared, too afraid to step that far out but not The Beatles, they weren’t afraid.”

“At that moment it was exactly who they were and what they wanted to do, their way.”

Peter Fonda

“The press had built up The Beatles – the Mop Tops, the Fab Four – and were shocked when they no longer wanted to play the game.”

“Even those who usually admired the Beatles (…)often confessed themselves bitterly disappointed in the film.”

BBC Audience Research Report, 1967

JOHN Wilson has said a big thank you to the man who has saved his life.

The 49-year-old family man's lung disease emphysema meant he had only months to live.

But that has changed thanks to the generosity of another devoted dad. And he wants to say a public thank you for the priceless gesture.

Ashton man John is one of six people whose lives were saved through organ transplants following the death of 29-year-old Steven Williams in a road accident.

The young father, from Heywood, Rochdale, had always said he wanted his organs donated if anything ever happened to him.

His family honoured his wishes when tragedy struck in April last year. His kidneys, heart, lungs, liver and pancreas were used to help other people.

John, a street cleansing supervisor for Tameside Council, was on what he thought was his last holiday with his wife, Hazel, and daughters Leanne, 11, and eight-year-old Danielle at their caravan in Wales when he got the call to say he could have his double-lung transplant.

"I'm living the life I thought would never be possible," he told manchesteronline. "Before, I could barely walk a few steps and was almost always attached to an oxygen machine.

"I couldn't play with my daughters or watch them in school plays - I was like an old man and worried about how long I would be there for them. Now it's like a dream come true."

John and Hazel, 38, wrote to Steven's family to thank them for their brave decision to donate his organs.

John said: "I felt very choked when I heard about Steven. His partner Melanie and their daughter are always in my thoughts."

Bergen, in the west of Norway, invites you outdoors, then sends you running for cover. The city is blessed with spectacular scenery and mild temperatures, but it is cursed with some 250 days of annual rainfall.

Canadian-born, Bergen-based architect Todd Saunders, 46, was well aware of his adopted hometown’s weather when he planned his family’s new home in the city’s upscale Paradis neighborhood. His design called for large overhangs and sheltered terraces, making the outdoors livable even in a storm.

For the ground floor, Mr. Saunders planned to rest the home on two small sections—an entryway and storage space—that would act as a brace for a long, second-story cantilever. He looked forward to the simple pleasure of bringing in groceries from the car without getting soaked—a problem at the family’s previous home, an apartment in a townhouse.

The living room on the second floor.

He also wanted his Norwegian partner, Trude Sangolt, to be able to read on a dry terrace on a wet day, and their two daughters—Sina, now 9, and Astri, 7—to play to their hearts’ content on sheltered, drizzle-free swings.

The one bit of sogginess Mr. Saunders wasn’t ready for when he broke ground in 2013 on the 4,000-square-foot, three-story villa was water coming up from underneath.

“The site is low,” says Mr. Saunders, a Newfoundland native. Surrounding lots were draining into his. When the construction began, the lot flooded.

“I had to dig down 25 feet and set up a drainage system,” he says, recalling hundreds of truckloads of departing mud, followed by hundreds of truckloads of arriving rocks.

It was a budget-buster—“a kick in the pants,” as he puts it.

“It usually takes $35,500 to prepare a Bergen site,” says the architect, who has designed million-dollar homes for clients from Norway to Connecticut, “but this cost $118,000.”

Still, one year later, in spring 2014, he and his family moved into the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house. Total cost: $1.8 million.

He paid a premium for the dramatic cantilever construction. The effect is one of lightness. The second floor seems to float on air.

The house is clad in quadruple-stained spruce, a version of which is used on the indoor ceilings to help muffle sound. The entrance hall on the (dry) ground floor includes a huge walk-in closet for shoes and coats, a large alcove that serves as a guest bedroom and a full bathroom.

The 100-foot-long second floor is where the family lives, eats and sleeps. The cost of the steel, which helps create the overhangs, was $71,000.

“If I did a house on the ground, I wouldn’t need any steel,” he says.

The top floor was something of a splurge, says Mr. Saunders. It also has ample uncovered deck space to help make the most of the rare sunny days. Mr. Saunders calls its single, light-filled room the library, but it has morphed into a de facto playroom for his daughters. Mr. Saunders, who describes himself as “low-tech,” has stashed a TV set here.

Until 2012, the architect, founder of Bergen’s Saunders Architecture, and Ms. Sangolt, a 43-year-old physical therapist, had bought and refurbished a few smaller Bergen apartments. But they had their eyes set on Paradis—a green area south of the city, known for its hilly terrain and expensive villas dating back to the 1930s.

After losing the bidding on a Paradis home, Mr. Saunders and Ms. Sangolt came across a small former park about to be sold for development. They decided to grab it, paying about $355,000, for the 0.35-acre lot.

An antique workbench once used to repair plane parts at a New York airport is used is used as the family craft table in the library.

Mr. Saunders says his local clients typically spend less than he did on construction. But he wanted elements such as Danish-designed hardwood floors, at $48,000, and a kitchen from Sweden’s Kvänum. Equipped with Gaggenau appliances, including a double oven and two dishwashers, the kitchen cost around $112,300.

“I appreciate the difference now that I live with a good kitchen,” he says, showing off his sleek Kvänum cabinets, which open to reveal felt-lined drawers that are sturdy enough to be climbed on by one of his daughters.

In planning the interior, Mr. Saunders worked with Hannes Wingate, a Swedish artist and designer based in Portland, Ore. The home mixes classic furniture by Danish masters—including the Børge Mogensen bench in the master bathroom—with up-to-date designer pieces, like dining chairs by French brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

The home’s standout piece is in the library: an early 20th-century, eight-seat workbench, once used to repair plane parts at New York’s Idlewild Airport, a precursor to today’s JFK Airport. Mr. Saunders found it in a New York antique shop while looking for a clock.

“I paid 9,000 bucks for this thing,” he says of the object, which suggests a sculptural picnic bench. Weighing in at nearly 350 pounds, it had to be lifted up to the top floor with a crane.

The bench is set off by two early 20th-century Bergen lounge chairs, among the first pieces of furniture Mr. Saunders ever bought. Their original linen upholstery has frayed away to atmospheric fringe.

“We fixed the upholstery a little but I told my furniture guy not to make it look new,” he says, adding that furniture, like houses “should have a certain patina.”

House prices in central London’s poshest postcodes finished last year off almost 7% lower than they started, as the double dose of stamp duty hikes and Brexit uncertainty forced sellers to become more realistic on pricing.

This meant that prices were 12.5% lower at the end of 2016 than their peak just over two years ago, when the U.K. government introduced the first of two stamp duty increases, which heavily impacted demand in the luxury sector, according to real estate brokerage Savills in a report released Thursday.

Jitters over what the Brexit “yes” vote would mean also weighed heavily on buyer sentiment, which left many sellers in areas including Chelsea and Knightsbridge with little choice last year but to chop their asking prices in a desperate attempt to entice buyers to open their wallets.

“Committed sellers increasingly understand the need to factor in both the additional stamp duty and economic uncertainty to their price expectations in order to attract still very cautious buyers, ” said Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills U.K. in the report.

Mansion Global is now on LinkedIn. Join the discussion.

It seems that lower prices combined with currency savings thanks to a weak pound are having some luck in reviving London’s upmarket housing market, which had virtually grounded to a halt during late spring and summer after buyers rushed to beat an additional 3% stamp duty surcharge introduced on second homes and rental properties in April.

New figures from Lonres, a data firm, showed that a collapse in transactions is starting to ease. Sales of £1 million-plus homes in the three months to the end of July were running at about half the level recorded in the same period in 2015, but in the last quarter of the year had recovered to within 16% of 2015’s full-year numbers.

Savills’ own market intelligence suggests that from January to the end of November, there were around 320 sales worth over £5 million in London. This was 17% below those in that price bracket in the same 11-month period of 2015.

What’s more, contrary to some reports, the very top end of the market has been more active in 2016 than in 2015.  In the 11 months to the end of November, £1.43 billion was spent on properties worth over £20 million, compared to £1.07billion in 2015, according to Savills.

“Price adjustments, coupled with the currency play for international buyers, appear to have triggered greater buyer commitment and prime London sales volumes picked up significantly in September, October and November before easing back in December,” Mr. Cook said.

However, he cautioned that while recent market activity demonstrates the continued appeal of prime London property that’s priced right, buyer sentiment remains fragile.

“Improved transaction levels are the result of adjusted pricing and should not be seen as a precursor to price rises in the foreseeable future,” he said.  "High stamp duty rates and the uncertainty created by negotiations to leave Europe will still need to be factored into expectations on value".

More: Prices Tumble, Sales Increase in Prime London

As a result, Savills is forecasting zero price growth in prime central London over the next two years, with a recovery-to-trend growth not coming until 2019.

Hackers threaten Manteca Police website

Modesto-based anarchy group demands officer’s removal

Text Size: Small Large Medium
Hackers threaten Manteca Police website

The Manteca Police Department’s public home web page.

POSTED December 26, 2012 12:46 a.m.

Manteca Police are taking threats seriously that have been made by a Modesto-based anarchy group to take down the department’s public access website.

Police Chief Nick Obligacion noted that the city’s information technology personnel have been placed on alert and are monitoring the situation.

“We view it as a valid threat,” the chief said.

The threat was posted Dec. 18, 2012 on YouTube.

A computer generated voice on the two minute and 46 second video demands the removal of Manteca Police Officer Josh Moody from the force. The officer was involved in the fatal shooting of Ernesto Duenez Jr. on June 8, 2011 during an encounter in the 200 block of Flores Avenue. The computer voice - that appears at times coming from an image of a man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask used by the loosely associated hacker group calling itself “Anonymous” - states if the officer is not removed they will attack the Manteca Police website.

Anonymous groups in the past have taken credit for launching cyber attacks that included taking down government websites in the United Kingdom to defacing other sites ranging from government agency public access sites to those of corporations. They also have taken credit to hacking individual Internet accounts such as those with Twitter.

The Manteca Police Department’s public website is not connected to the one used by the department for internal communication for officers as well as various computer generated police reports. Instead, it is a public access site that allows citizens who are victims of crime to communicate with police. It also provides safety information for residents including access to the Megan’s Law website profiling registered sex offenders in neighborhoods plus crime statistics and tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of crime.

The shooting was ruled “legally justified” by the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s investigators based on their review of evidence including a dash cam in the officer’s vehicle that captured the shooting. A $25 million lawsuit is pending in federal court.

The anonymous video includes six seconds of the 26-minute plus shooting video that the Duenez family posted on YouTube. It also includes two other clips of other police-suspect incidents from other departments. It also makes a reference to a Modesto Bee story published on Dec. 17, 2012 stating that “even in an average year” police in California are involved in 100 fatal shootings.

Advertising Executive - The Career

The Don Drapers of the world may be a thing of the past, but advertising executives are still an essential part of any successful advertising campaign. While you won't spend your lunches sipping martinis while thinking of product slogans, the creative aspect of the career still exists – even if it isn't quite so glamorous.

Advertising executives are there from the beginning of an advertising campaign to the end. They're the primary creative force behind a campaign, able to pinpoint where and when to implement a campaign. Read on to discover some of the main duties of an advertising executive, and how you can work to become one yourself.

Main Job Responsibilities

Advertising executives spend less time in meetings and client discussions and more time brainstorming and discussing creative direction with their advertising teams. Advertising executives present information based on market research to determine how to approach an advertising campaign.

Location and Opportunity shows the following cities as having the best job opportunities for advertising executives:

  • New York, NY
  • San Francisco, CA
  • Chicago, IL
  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Houston, TX

Throughout the process, advertising executives stay in constant contact with account executives and coordinators to ensure that an advertising campaign is meeting the needs of a client. Some other typical careers advertising executives work with on a daily basis include:

Advertising executives must juggle multiple deadlines concurrently, meaning excellent time management is a must for any prospective executive. Read on to discover some other qualifications.

It's rare for someone to simply graduate college and enter an advertising executive position. While most jobs do require at least a bachelor's degree in communications, advertising, or a related field, many also require several years of experience.

As the leader of an advertising campaign, this individual must have superb communication skills, and must translate “business talk” into “creative talk” for his or her team members. They must understand the goals of a campaign, and seek to reflect those goals in a creative manner.

Become an Advertising Executive

The advertising industry is poised to grow as the country recovers from economic downtown. As the field grows, more executives will be needed to lead the industry.

Advertising executives have some of the most competitive pay in the industry. Most advertising executives make between $80,000 and $112,000 in salary. If you're interested in learning more about becoming an advertising executive, contact schools offering marketing and advertising degree programs.

Home Depot shopping cart
Home Depot shopping cart -

TEXT OF STORYLISA NAPOLI: This year's annual meeting of Home Depot shareholders isn't likely to be as strange as last year's. Back then, the board didn't show up and then-CEO Robert Nardelli didn't take questions. The whole thing lasted 37 minutes. Now, Nardelli's out and first quarter profits have plummeted 30 percent. Ashley Milne-Tyte looks at how things will be different when shareholders convene in just a few hours.

ASHLEY MILNE-TYTE: At last year's meeting, Home Depot hired security guards to enforce time limits for speakers.

RICHARD FERLAUTO: They were big, burly people dressed up in orange aprons, who stood up and made sure you sat down.

Richard Ferlauto directs pension investment policy at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. He'll be at today's meeting. He wants shareholders to vote annually on CEO pay and the company to refocus on customer service.

But retail consultant Howard Davidowitz doesn't think new CEO Frank Blake can deliver.

HOWARD DAVIDOWITZ: He has no background in retail. When you hire a fixer, you wanna hire a fixer who's done it before.

Davidowitz says Blake needs to reverse the company's fortunes, otherwise attendees will look back on today's meeting as style over substance.

In New York, I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte for Marketplace.

Bioactive Ingredient Market Seeking Growth Opportunities in Asia Pacific

The bioactive ingredients market is emerging with the increase in awareness regarding the market and growing health concerns. People are turning towards healthy food that fulfills the nutritional requirements in the body. The changing lifestyle and increasing awareness regarding healthy diet among consumers is the key driver for the bioactive market.. Manufacturers are also taking into consideration the convenience and ease availability for consumers and providing them with healthy nutrients in the form of food and beverages instead of supplements. Cosmeceuticals is a growing concept which combines bioactive ingredients with personal care. For instance, various mineral-enriched or vitamin-enriched herbal creams, shampoos, and so on are entering the market with guarantees of better personal care options.

The aging population and an increasing number of chronic diseases cause health concerns in the consumers’ minds, which are the key factors that push the bioactive ingredients market. Consumers are shifting their eating habits from eating to satisfy hunger to eating healthy food so as to either fulfill the nutrient deficiency in the body or prevent the deficiency of major nutrients. The quality of animal nutrition is developing with the growing meat and milk market. Animal feed manufacturers tend to attain more output from animals when nutritious ingredients are used in animal feed. The report covers the five main applications of bioactive ingredients, which include functional food, functional beverages, dietary supplements, animal nutrition, and personal care.

The Asia-Pacific region dominates the bioactive ingredients market with the highest share and CAGR owing to the increase in population, urbanization, and disposable income in countries such as India, China, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, the aging population is generating market opportunities for bioactive ingredients. The improvement in the quality of ingredients with clinically-proven ingredients and products entering the market is gaining the trust of the consumers and is another factor driving the market.

The different types of bioactive ingredients are prebiotics, probiotics, amino acids, peptides & proteins, phytochemicals & plant extracts, omega 3 & structured lipids, fibers & specialty carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins, and carotenoids & antioxidants. Based on the type, phytochemicals & plant extracts are estimated to be the most used ingredients, with the highest projected growth rate. The increasing dependence on plant products, along with growing awareness are the drivers for the global market for phytochemicals & plant extracts. In regions such as North America and Europe, the consumers are turning towards plant products and prefer consuming bioactive ingredients that are derived from plants.

Along with the use of phytochemicals, either in functional food & beverages or as supplements, the presence of these ingredients is also growing in the personal care industry. Herbal creams, shampoos, and soaps are gaining market share because of their characteristics such as safeguarding and enhancing skin and hair. In the current market scenario, fibers & specialty carbohydrates are estimated to have the largest market share owing to their wide range of applications.

The main factor affecting the bioactive ingredients market is the reluctance towards intake of medicines. Thus, there is an increased preference among consumers for the consumption of food-based health supplements rather than consuming medication. With this, the scope for food & beverage applications broadened for the bioactive ingredients market.

The leading specialty food ingredient companies are focusing on their growth through new product developments/launches. Extensive research is required to develop cost-efficient manufacturing equipment for bioactive ingredients; companies are, hence, aiming at investing in R&D for the same. In addition, manufacturers have ensured extensive communication with consumers in terms of legitimate assertions for health benefits of these products.

Democrats demand Enron probe

Published: May 9, 2002 5:03 p.m. ET

Memos show how crisis was created, lawmakers say

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Citing two incriminating internal memos, California Democrats called Thursday for the House to investigate Enron's alleged role in manipulating the state's energy prices during the electricity squeeze in 2000 and 2001.

"Since the summer of 2000, the delegation has been pleading with the House majority ... and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to intervene in California's energy crisis. This all fell on deaf ears," said Rep. Sam Farr, chairman of the California Democratic congressional delegation.

"In light of the new information released, the Enron ENRNQ memos, we were proven right," Farr said. "They didn't act then, but they should start acting now." Read David Callaway's commentary. The memos described imaginatively named strategies like "Death Star," "Ricochet" and "Get Shorty" that Enron's energy trading unit purportedly used to order power for sale in California that their subscribers in the state did not actually need. Read the memos.

Enron reaped huge profits by selling the excess power, which the company was not entitled to hold, to California's energy system operator, Farr said. See full story.

The memos also shed light on Enron's role in taking advantage of structural weaknesses in California's energy market to raise profits. Two other energy companies, BC Hydro and Puget Sound Energy PSD, +0.00% aided Enron's efforts, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

"'Death Star,' 'Ricochet' and 'Get Shorty' are not consumer-friendly terms," said Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., who referred to Enron's role in creating California's energy crisis that resulted in statewide rolling blackouts during the summer of 2000.

The delegation members called on Rep. W.J. "Billy" Tauzin, R-La., to schedule hearings in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which Tauzin chairs.

They urged Tauzin to use the committee's full investigative power to uncover the depth of Enron's manipulation of energy markets.

Farr said California is specifically seeking two remedies in the aftermath of an investigation, refunds for overcharged ratepayers and the opportunity to renegotiate some of the state's long-term energy pacts that he considers unfair.

"You can't violate these contracts unless you show wrongdoing or manipulation," Farr said.

The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will hold a hearing next week on the Enron memos.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said the hearing would mark the first phase in winning remedies for California's ratepayers.

"I trust that this hearing will bring to light more facts to help us ... for refunds and renegotiations of long-term contracts," she said. "Enron knew it was gaming consumers and that is exactly what Enron did at the expense of California."

Coming up: February consumer sentiment

Published: Feb 15, 2013 9:30 a.m. ET

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Consumer sentiment is expected to rise in early February, led by higher stock prices, according to analysts polled by MarketWatch. Economists expect the consumer-sentiment index from the University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters to increase to a preliminary February reading of 75 from a final January reading of 73.8, despite ongoing fiscal uncertainty, and higher payroll taxes and gas prices. The sentiment gauge, which covers how consumers view their personal finances as well as business and buying conditions, averaged about 87 in the year before the start of the most recent recession. The gauge increased in January after plunging in December, when consumers were worried about the fiscal cliff. Economists watch sentiment data to get a feel for the direction of consumer spending. University of Michigan will release the data at 9:55 a.m.

Japan whacked by stronger yen; Sony, Canon fall

Published: May 21, 2008 7:23 a.m. ET

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Asian shares closed mostly lower Wednesday, with a stronger yen depressing export-related shares in Tokyo, while gains in mainland oil producers and refiners led Hong Kong and China to a rebound on speculation Beijing may amend its energy policy as crude-oil prices spiked above $129 a barrel.

Australia's benchmark was under pressure as financial firms such as Macquarie Group fell on renewed concerns over the outlook for financial markets.

The Nikkei 225 (1804610) skidded 1.7% to 13,926.30, falling below the 14,000 point level for the first time in five trading sessions. Tokyo's Topix index gave up 2.1% to 1,370.09. Sydney's ASX/200 was off 1.4% to 5,823.40 while South Korea's Kospi fell 1.4% to 1,847.51.

In currencies, the yen was exchanged at 103.16 against the U.S. dollar, compared to 103.63 in late U.S. trading Tuesday and 104.29 late Monday.

Declines across much of Asia were preceded by a weaker session for U.S. stocks as crude oil's record run spurred concerns higher energy prices would crimp consumer consumption.

China's Shanghai Composite rebounded from a more than 2% deficit to end 2.3% higher at 3,544.19. The Shenzhen Index ended up 2.1%.

Shares in Hong Kong also reversed direction, with the Hang Seng Index (1804580) closing 1.2% higher to 25,460.29. The H-share Index, Hong Kong's benchmark of China-incorporated shares, of which most are state-owned, ended up 1.2% at 14,133.73.

Analysts said sentiment towards refiners and oil producers was boosted by speculation Beijing may amend its energy-pricing policy either by allowing gasoline and other fuel prices to rise or by raising the starting point for the windfall tax to $60 a barrel from $40 a barrel.

Shanghai-listed shares of China Petroleum & Chemical rose its 10% daily limit while PetroChina raced up 6.6%.

The rumor came as crude oil for July delivery, which became the lead contact from today, climbed 80 cents to $129.78 in late central Asia business hours.

The June contract hit a high of $129.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange before easing back to close $129.07, rising $2.02 for the session.

"Most of the market had believed the oil-price reforms would not happen within this year," said Castor Pang, a strategist with SHK Financial in Hong Kong. He added the move, if true, would reinforce confidence big industry could more readily pass along rising costs to consumers. "It helped to improve the overall sentiment."

Cnooc CEO, -0.09% (883), China's largest offshore oil producer, topped the list of blue-chip gainers in Hong Kong, rising 5.9%

In other regional action, Singapore's Straits Times Index fell 0.1%, Taipei's Weighted Price Index fell 0.6%, Thailand's SET was up 1.2%, and India's Sensex added 0.1% in late trading. Indonesia's JSX Composite closed 0.7% lower and Malaysia's KLSE ended down 0.5%.

"I don't think that the negativity that we are seeing in Asia at the moment is likely to come off until ... either the oil price and other commodity prices come down, or alternatively we see a situation where input prices can be passed onto consumers," said Uwe Parpart, chief Asian strategist for Cantor Fitzgerald.

Stocks trading lower in Japan included Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (8306) MTU, -1.17% shares of which tumbled 4.5 % after the company forecast lackluster growth in the current fiscal year.

Macarthur Coal Ltd (MCC) saw its shares jump 8% after ArcelorMittal MT, +1.70% acquired a 14.9% stake at A$20 a share. The two companies said Wednesday they were in talks but did not elaborate on the content or direction of the discussions. See story.

Shares of Insurance Australia Group (IAG) fell 5.7% after the board rejected a A$8.7 billion takeover bid by QBE Insurance Group (QBE), saying the offer was too low. After the rejection, QBE said it was withdrawing its bid to focus on new acquisitions.

Macquarie Group (MQG) posted its second big day of declines after issuing a cautious outlook. Shares of Australia's largest investment bank and one of the world's biggest owners of toll roads fell 3.4%, adding to 7.3% plunge in the previous session.

Shares of Sony (6758) SNE, +0.10% fell 2.7% and Canon Inc. CAJ, +0.07% (7751) fell 3.5% amid concerns the stronger yen will hurt overseas income.

Shares of Samsung Electronics, the world's largest memory chipmaker by revenue, and Hynix Semiconductor HXSCL, +29.58% the world's second largest, climbed 0.7% and 0.5% respectively. The gains follow reports Tuesday Hynix raised prices on contract D-RAM chips sold to clients under contracts by 5% on month in early May.

Hong Kong-listed shares of Lenovo Group (992) climbed 3.1% on expectations the producer of ThinkPad notebooks will report solid results at when it releases fiscal 2007 earnings Thursday.

Shares of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. (5713) closed up 1.64% after the Nikkei newspaper reported the miner plans to spend more than 200 billion yen ($1.94 billion) to develop a nickel mine in the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. Operations are expected to come on stream by 2013, the report said without citing its source.

Shares of farm equipment maker Kubota Corp. (6326) climbed 4.7% after UBS and Credit Suisse lifted their price targets on the shares, citing strong demand for its rice-growing equipment and its cost-cutting measures.

Miners, banks lead FTSE 100 to second day of gains

Published: Feb 17, 2014 12:03 p.m. ET

Markets reporter

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Resource firms posted some of the biggest gains in London on Monday as they advanced alongside rising commodity prices, while Hammerson PLC climbed after a well-received earnings report.

The FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.01%  rose 1.1% to close at 6,736.00, marking a second-straight day of gains.

UBS: Japan's growth will rebound

Japan's fourth quarter GDP is much lower than expected, but UBS Economist Daiju Aoki tells the WSJ's Deborah Kan why he's still optimistic about Japan's economy.

Shares of Hammerson HMSO, -0.45%  put on 3.1% after the property-development and investment company posted a rise in full-year profit on strong demand for retail property.

Mining firms and energy companies were also among major advancers, as both oil prices and most metals prices moved higher. Shares of oil major BP PLC BP., +0.52% BP, +0.80%  picked up 0.3%, BG Group PLC UK:BG  rose 1.1%, and Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSB, +0.22% RDS.B, +0.92%  advanced 0.6%.

Among miners, shares of Randgold Resources Ltd. RRS, +0.66%  gained 1.7% after Citigroup lifted the company to neutral from sell. The analysts said valuations for gold miners have improved as the price of gold is stabilizing.

Shares of Anglo American PLC AAL, +5.92%  climbed 2.1% after Credit Suisse upgraded the firm to outperform from neutral. BHP Billiton PLC BLT, +2.99% BHP, +3.25% BHP, +2.43%  rose 1.2%, and Glencore Xstrata PLC GLEN, +2.03% GLCNF, +2.43%  gained 1.8%.

The data calendar was light in London on Monday, with investors instead preparing for important data out later in the week. On Wednesday, labor figures for December are out, including the unemployment rate, wages and claimant count. Market participants are closely watching for any signs of improvements in the labor market, after the Bank of England last week scrapped its original forward guidance and said it would consider a broad range of indicators before raising interest rates.

BOE Governor Mark Carney said in an interview on BBC on Sunday that there are still forces holding back the economic recovery and that interest rates won’t rise until the labor-market slack is reduced. Before the updated guidance last week, the BOE was watching mainly the unemployment level, but as that rate in recent months dropped closer to the 7% joblessness threshold, pressure mounted on the central bank to update its rate expectations.

Calcium, Vit D and potassium

  • Calcium, Vit D and potassium

    I recently got a fit day journal - what a gem! But i am seeing my vitamin D, calcium and potassium coming in low. I do get daily sun ( walk to work total of 30 min per day) so maybe that would make up for the dietary lack?

    but not doing dairy, I'd liek to find a way to get more calcium.

    And potassium? (potatoes and bananas are not exactly the direction I want to go)

    I guess I could try ot find a good supplement. But I dont awnt tot do a multi - because most of my levels are OK...and I dont want to take all kinds of unneccesary things.

    Any advice on ways ot get more of these essential nutrients?

  • #2
    The RDA for calcium is very high, in my opinion. Many cultures eat very little calcium and yet have almost zero occurrences of osteoporosis, and other bone related disease. As for potassium, just make sure you eat plenty of veggies and you'll be fine. No need to fret, unless you like to dump the entire salt shaker on to your food.

    If you want more calcium, eat spinach and other dark leafy greens. Or bone marrow.
    Remember, you are unique just like everybody else.

    • #3
      Figs are also a good source of calcium and other minerals. Eating one or two dried figs a day won't hurt the carb count too much. I forgot my figs for a week or so and wound up getting foot cramps (a sign of magnesium deficiency).

      • #4
        I cut an avocado in half and add half to my salad for potassium. I try and eat two avocados a week.

        • #5
          Thank you! All good do-able suggestions. I love figs, and the thought of adding them to breakfast is wonderful! Avocado too. I still am getting leg cramps even though I have started taking a magnesium supplement = and my mag levels from foo don fit day are, not sure why? Why are there deficiencies on the primal diet? Shouldnt it provide everything we need?

          • #6
            Vitamin D is tricky. I walk an hour a day and paddle on the weekend. Only use sunscreen during the warmer months and then only after 9am (I'm often on the water before dawn). Thought I had more than enough sun exposure for Vitamin D. I was wrong. Recent test showed my blood level to be 58nmol/l. From what I've read it needs to be at least 80 so now I'm supplementing. At least I now have an explanation for my CVD - Vitamin D deficiency
            Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.

            Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine

            • #7
              I find potassium, magnesium and calcium routinely low and vit D almost off the radar! So vit D supps, calcium supps and having to eat more sweet potato / avocado / brazil nuts or almonds help.

              I actually have started to wonder if the RDA is set for the normal SAD diet and when not eating loads of anti-nutrients, the levels can be lower?

                i think I've read comments to that effect somewhere, I wish I could recall somewhere. Though others have commented on RDA being too low. But I think it's a reasonable point. There's a lot of factors affect calcium uptake, and my understanding is that it's your uptake that is critical more than the actual amount you consume - if you just consume more, you simply excrete more. With the right nutritional balance and weight-bearing exercise, your calcium uptake is better.

                There's also issues like all the micronutrients and gut flora which are probably lacking in the SAD - It REALLY annoys me that they can supplement foods with vitamins and so it LOOKs like a nutritionally complete food when it's just the 'usual suspects' (like Bs, C , niacin, iron) that they are adding in. If I want a vitamin pill, I'll take one, thanks! One day I'm going to do a nutritiondata table working out all the foods like bread and cereals but reducing down the ingredients and leaving out the added vitamins to see what's REALLY in the food.

                I read something about I think it was green banana and how they'd tried to supplement with its resistant starch to see if that was what was improving gut health. The results were negative or vague and there was a frustrated 'must be some other element in the food' at the end of the study. Pollan always comments on 'whole foods' rather than single nutrients and I think this is a strength of PB - while thinking about the importance of nutrition, the ultimate focus is on real food.

                Where did the RDAs come from I wonder? I'll have to go google it.

                I've been googling Vitamin D and was interested to learn that mice with ineffective D uptake had a higher susceptibility to cancer when exposed to carcinogens; and also that renal failure (kidney disease or having a kidney removed) also impaired D uptake.

                Sorry for the rambling reply, I'm kinda bored thisafternoon!

                  Like Helen in Oz I also read about calcium effect somewhere and I can't remember where. But! RDA is based on a grain diet. As grain is broken down in our body it hogs a lot of calcium and takes it straight through the body without the body having any say at all. Grain actually steals the body’s supply of calcium (and probably other minerals) and this is why a normal SAD need sooooo much calcium a day. So yes, the RDA is made for SAD. It would be great if someone could measure a primal RDA as I’m sure there would be a lot of differences.

Beacons of song: Marsalis/Calderazzo/Connick

Publication: Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches
Author: Hank Shteamer

“If you give a soloist an open solo for thirty seconds, he plays like he’s coming from the piece that you wrote. Then he says, ‘What the hell was that piece I was playing from?’ And the next thirty seconds is, ‘Oh, I guess I’ll play what I learned last night.’ And bang! Minute two is whoever he likes. Which is probably Coltrane.”—Bob Brookmeyer (RIP), quoted in Ben Ratliff’s The Jazz Ear

I think about this quote a lot when I’m hearing jazz live. Often it’s because I’m thinking how much Brookmeyer’s cautionary anecdote applies to the situation at hand. Last night, thankfully, this was not the case.

The show was Branford Marsalis’s “A Duo of Duos” at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Allen Room (TONY preview here), during which he dueted first with Joey Calderazzo—his partner on 2011’s Songs of Mirth and Melancholy, over which I’ve already gushed extensively—and second with Harry Connick Jr., the latter of whom didn’t sing. So these were pure saxophone/piano duos, with Marsalis switching between tenor and soprano. Read more »

'The Happy Elf’ song now a children’s book Read more: The Herald-Sun

“Eubie, Eubie, Eubie.” So says Santa Claus to his elf that breaks North Pole rules – but all for the good of children at Christmas.

Musician, singer, composer and actor Harry Connick Jr. can add picture book author to his list of talents with the new children’s book “The Happy Elf” (Harper Collins, $17.99).

It’s a fun Christmas story about Eubie’s love for Christmas, so much so that he must find a way for children on the naughty list in Bluesville to move over to the nice list. It turns out unburnable coal looming over the town brings the blues to Bluesville, but Eubie has an idea of how to shine and spruce it up. He used his elf hat to transport himself, which is against North Pole rules, but all in the name of kindness.

It’s a sweet story aimed at children ages 4 to 8, but this reviewer’s 3-year-old loved it, too, every bit of the story as well as the illustrations by Dan Andreasen. Read more »
