How did the situation in Argentina end? Not too well. Economic depression, mass insolvencies, bank runs, forced seizure of deposits, unemployment and underemployment exceeding 40%, blood in the streets, a fall of the government, a complete reneging of the terms of the "rescue packages," an abandonment of the hard currency monetary regime, a mega-devaluation, and a massive default of foreign debt obligations.
Unfortunately the euro today imposes a kind of gold standard on European countries – it forces them to adjust to excessively high domestic prices, large trade deficits, and/or large fiscal deficits in the same way they would have had to adjust under the gold standard, and I don't think that is politically likely to be acceptable. The countries that need depreciation to regain competitiveness or monetization of the debt to regain control of the deficit will have to choose between adjusting via deflation and high unemployment or exiting the euro. Politics makes the latter more likely.
Moreover, there isn't enough gold around for a gold standard to be practical without massive dislocation. That's why a gold standard is a really bad idea.
Is the Fed looking at the right indicators?
The modifications are not expected to lead to tighter financial conditions for households and businesses and do not signal any change in the outlook for the economy or for monetary policy, which remains about as it was at the January meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). At that meeting, the Committee left its target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and said it anticipates that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.
In addition, the Board announced that, effective on March 18, the typical maximum maturity for primary credit loans will be shortened to overnight. Primary credit is provided by Reserve Banks on a fully secured basis to depository institutions that are in generally sound condition as a backup source of funds.
Excuse me, isn't that a tightening of credit? How are these changes not "the not expected to lead to tighter financial conditions"?
The announcement was a bit of a surprise. The question is, why did they do it?
Were they looking at the yield curve, which is steeply upward sloping? This would be an indication that conditions were returning to "normal".
A double-dip in the cards?
Meanwhile, in January, new accounting rules will kick in which will force banks to move off-balance-sheet "structured investment vehicles," "trust preferred assets" and other beasts onto their balance sheet, which is expected to result in some sharp hits to bank capital. In response, regulators such as the FDIC will most probably be called upon to look the other way for a while.
In the meantime, Mish is warning about the Commercial real estate apocalypse in 2011-2012.
Back in the real economy, indicators of trade remain weak. The Baltic Dry Index, which is reflective of shipping rates, isn't exactly going like gangbusters.
There seems to be no rebound in rail traffic either. With commodity prices seemingly rolling over (my Inflation-Deflation Timer model turned neutral in late January), all indications are from the markets and the economy are pointing to at least a pause.
If the Fed mistakenly tightens monetary conditions, the chances of a double tip will undoubtedly increase.
It's an amusing but instructive video of the dichotomy between the philosophies of Keynes and Hayek, of the Austrian school of economics. It also starkly highlights the philosophical divide between policymakers and investors.
This is the nature of the End Game I have been writing about. The decisions are now political. How do we unwind the debts and the leverage? How much pain do we postpone and how much do we take on today? It is the same question for much of Europe, Great Britain (serious problems there), Japan (which is a bug in search of a windshield), and the US. We now have a limited number of path-dependent options. By that I mean the political paths chosen by the various governments will dictate the economic path we go down.
It's no wonder why investors can't make a definitive decision on the crucial inflation vs. deflation call either.
S&P 500 500 futures are down around 1% as I write this in the wake of the Fed's surprise discount rate hike.
Despite the negative news, it's important to take deep breath, step back and analyze the market with some perspective. In the framework outlined in my post bulls are losing control, here are some impotant relative performance charts that I am watching as signs that the bears may have taken control of the market.
The chart below shows the relative performance of the Morgan Stanley Cyclical Index (CYC) relative to the S&P 500. CYC staged a relative breakout in early December and continues to lead the market. Should it break down below its relative support line, it would be a sign that the bears have the wind at their backs.
The chart below shows the relative performance of the Financials compared to the S&P 500. Financials have two unique characteristics in this cycle. First, they are where the stresses in the system show up and therefore a good canary in the mine as to the health of the market.
The sector is in a relative downtrend and it's on the verge of a breakdown and I expect that it would decline further at the open. Should it decline below its relative support zone, it is another signal that the end of a brief period of ursine hiberation is at hand.
Diversification will give some protection during slight or even moderate market perturbations. When a real disaster hits, supposedly diversified investments are subject to similar losses as concentrated positions because our portfolio constructs do not include sufficient non-correlating assets. In other words, in major sell-offs, everything moves together, albeit at varying rates. Losing less than market averages is not a comforting factor when your portfolio is down 30% to 50%.
What has caught our attention is that during almost every dislocation, especially the major stock market declines (1987 and 2008), systematic, trend-following systems garnered returns that could have made a significant and positive impact on portfolio performance. In 2008, BarclayHedge's Systematic Index, a weighted average of some 448 CTA's, rose 18.6% while the S&P500 declined precipitously (-38.5%). Genesis Futures' NT4 system adheres to this paradigm.
In other words, CTA returns do well during crisis periods when the stock market goes down – and that's diversifying.
This brings to mind the story of another Holmes, Sherlock Holmes, and the story of the dog that didn't bark. What Thomas Holmes and other CTAs don't mention is the weakness of CTA trend following systems. The chart below shows the yearly returns of the BarclayHedge CTA Index. Trend following models simply don't perform well during periods when the system can't find a trend.
By contrast, my Inflation-Deflation Timer model, which is also based on trend following principles, performs in line with a 60% stock/40% bond benchmark during "normal" periods and outperforms during crisis periods.
Instead of showing negative returns in 2009, as the BarclayHedge CTA Index did, the Inflation-Deflation Timer had a perfectly respectable 2009 return of 18.0%. This shows that investors using trend following models need to evolve beyond the simple application of these models in order to get more stable returns.
The Inflation-Deflation Timer model is a proof of concept that a trend following investor can have his cake and eat it too. You get positive returns when other markets are bad and returns roughly in line with other asset classes during other times.
Inflation or Deflation? Cancer or heart attack?
I have been pounding on the inflation vs. deflation theme for some time, largely because I believe that this is likely to be the Investment Call of the Decade. Get it right and you'll be a hero, but get it wrong and you'll be a goat.
Why is making such a forecast so hard?
[W]e have made a series of bad choices, often the easy choices, all over the developed world. We are now entering an era in which our choices are being limited by the nature of the markets. Not only are we in a path-dependent world, but the number of paths from which we may choose are becoming fewer with each passing year.
Our economic future is more and more a product of the political choices we make, and those are increasingly difficult. We have no good choices. We are left with choosing the best of bad options. Some countries, like Greece, are now down to choices that are either dire or disastrous. There is no "easy" button.
We are in the fullness of time approaching the End Game. In country after country, the choices that have been made over the last decades will yield a Greek situation, where there are no good choices. And the longer the hard choices are put off, the more difficult they will become.
For some countries it could mean deflation. For others, it will look like inflation on steroids. Countries with sensible budgets and policies will thrive.
How the piper gets paid is dependent on future policy decisions, which are unknown. David Merkel of Aleph Blog says that governments have three choices, inflate, raise taxes or default. The first will lead to the cancer of rising inflation, the last two to the heart attack of a deflationary collapse.
I cringe whenever someone says "this time is different." However, the policy choices that we face indicate that we are entering an era where things are different, but not unprecedented. The chart below from Macquarie Equities Research shows that macro-economic volatility has significantly risen.
Is this a New Era? Yes.
Is this time different? Yes.
The OECD experienced similar levels of macro-economic volatility back in the 1960's and 1970's. However, most of the investment professionals today have not experienced these kinds of macro conditions in their working lives and may not be able to adequately respond to this sea change.
Investment policies such as buy-and-hold which have worked well over the last 30 years are likely to be sub-optimal. Neither is the gold bugs' solution to buy gold, as the yellow metal is likely to perform poorly under a deflationary scenario. Dynamic asset allocation strategies, such as the Inflation-Deflation Timer model which are based on trend following principles, are likely to be better tools for navigating the treacherous seas ahead.
The history of the Tea Party Movement has been one of peaceful advocates of limited government and conservative fiscal policy, with little comment on social policy.
For example, there are questions we would have liked this foreign terrorist to answer because he lawyered up and invoked our U.S. Constitutional right to remain silent…Our U.S. Constitutional rights. Our rights that you sir fought and were willing to die for to protect in our Constitution. The rights that my son, as an infantryman in the United States army is willing to die for. The protections provided—thanks to you sir—we're going to bestow them on a terrorist who hates our Constitution and wants to destroy our Constitution and our country? This makes no sense because we have a choice in how we're going to deal with the terrorists. We don't have to go down that road.
Was George Washington a terrorist?
A little over two hundred years ago, His Majesty's Government was involved in a counterinsurgency war in one of the colonies. The rebels eventually won, but not before government troops used a number of harsh tactics which the new rebel government vowed never to impose on its own citizens. The new government affirmed the principles of the writ of habeas corpus, which limits the government's right to hold prisoners indefinitely without bringing them to the justice system, and the right to remain silent when questioned by the authorities.
The rebel government, in case you hadn't figured it out, was the United States of America. Under the rules proposed by Palin, people like George Washington could have been labeled a terrorist and made to disappear by the government of the day.
There would have been no recourse. The government could label anyone a terrorist. There would be no checks or balances. No appeals.
At the same time, Tea Party Movement believes in limited government. Do these people really trust the federal government to do anything right? Do they trust the federal government to label someone a terrorist and not make a mistake? Are federal bureaucrats to be believed when they label something a national security matter? Before you answer those questions, remember how the federal government in the guise of the SEC mulled national security status for AIG details.
Are terrorists like pornographers? You know one when you see one?
People are just getting crankier because money is getting tighter and tighter. The New Yorker article the Populism Problem outlines how the American electorate is just mad, but they are not sure what they want.
I wrote before that St. Barack of Chicago was likely to disappoint because expectations for this president were so high. And inevitably he has.
And - as the youths wearing pig's head masks on the demo today were keen to point out - there are young people like them all across Southern Europe. Longer term it's a contagious youth unrest from Thessaloniki to Lisbon that Europe's leaders may have to watch out for: "The PIGS fight back," said the banners today.
Instead of a straight class divide this crisis has fuelled a more complicated generational one: older workers have been poor before and, some of them will privately admit, can survive being poor again. But for those in their early 20s to see all the aspirations fostered during the noughties cancelled indefinitely is a pretty hard pill to swallow.
Meanwhile, more and more states are getting into trouble, services get cut, taxes rise and the risks of populist social backlashes continue to rise. Consider this example of what happens when politics get polarized under economic stress.
Trust, credibility and faith are integral elements of financial stability. Perception is reality. It's not what is; it's what's perceived to be. Social mood and risk appetites shape the tape. These axioms should remain on our radar as we, the people, edge ahead.
Addendum: I had a reader comment complaining about how I compared George Washington to Osama bin Laden and asking whether Cam stands for camedian. I believe that I published that comment but unfortunately the comment got lost and I apologize.
A guerrilla sympathizer finds out that government troops are about to raid the town where he is living. The sympathizer then runs around the town to rally the other fighters to assemble and confront the government troops. Remember that these guerrillas don't wear uniforms and melt into the population. In a conventional war, captured non-uniformed combatants are regarded as spies and not accorded the niceties of the Geneva Convention.
Would that sympathizer be labelled a terrorist? If he is a terrorist, would you consider the head of his movement to be a terrorist?
Now consider the famous ride of Paul Revere and draw your own conclusions.
One man's patriot is another's terrorist.
In the short run, however, Bespoke reports that the S&P 500 is 3 standard deviations below its 50-day moving average - a highly oversold condition. My inner trader tells me to wait for the oversold condition to clear up and watch the market reaction for signs of future direction.
Now the Technical Take reports that Rydex timers are getting excessively bearish. In addition, the latest Commitment of Traders report shows that large speculators (read: hedge funds) have moved off their crowded long in the NASDAQ 100 to a neutral reading.
Get ready for the counter-trend rally.
It is always useful to look at sector relative changes once in a while, just to spot any phase changes or shifts in leadership.
When I first got into the investment business, a grizzled veteran taught me the basic principles of sector rotation. Early in the cycle, it's the interest sensitives that lead the way. Sector leadership rotates through the equity market spectrum until you get to the asset plays - the inflation hedge stocks at the very end of the cycle.
The chart below shows the relative performance of the Financials compared to the S&P 500. Financials have two unique characteristics in this cycle. First, they are where the stresses in the system show up and therefore a good canary in the mine as to the health of the market. In addition, they are interest sensitives where central bank action and the expectations of central bank action manifest themselves. As the chart shows, the sector led the market up from the March 2009 bottom but is in the process of rolling over and is now testing a key relative support zone. If the sector weakens further, it would be an indication that the bears have taken control.
At the other end of the sector rotation scale, we have the Energy sector. This is also a useful indicator as much of the rebound has been driven by expectations of Chinese growth which has buoyed commodity prices. Energy stocks have been in a sideways pattern relative to the S&P 500 and arguably in a relative downtrend. This is what technicians call a consolidation pattern, which reflect indecision by Mr. Market.
What about the cyclicals? Cyclicals have also led the equity rally on expectations of a strong rebound. The chart below shows the Morgan Stanley Cyclical Index (CYC) relative to the S&P 500. CYC had been leading the market but recently failed at a relative uptrend line and is now testing a support level, indicating perhaps a change in market consensus that the economic recovery is on track.
The relative chart of the cyclically sensitive Dow Jones Transportation Average relative to the Dow Jones Industrials is also supportive of my conclusion. In fact, the Transports remain in a relative downtrend relative to the Industrial that dates back to September 2008.
When I look at these charts, they tell me that the market is undergoing a phase change. Bulls are no longer in control, but the bears haven't yet taken command. This conclusion is supported by the behavior of Consumer Staples, a defensive sector that hasn't exactly been powering ahead on a relative basis.
The stock market appears to be, at best, undergoing a consolidating phase or basing pattern. Should it weaken further, it would indicate a major leg down in stock prices.
I had written extensively about why I am not a bottom-up equity quant, largely because the business of bottom-up equity quantitative analysis has become commoditized. Barriers to entry of equity quantitative analysis are falling rapidly. As a consequence, bottom-up equity quant alpha is shrinking rapidly.
Here is case in point. A friend recently asked me for my opinion of a service called Market Topographer. The service allows a user to analyze a stock based on a series of pre-determined factors - which makes bottom-up multi-factor modeling a breeze. It even provides for "stress test" analysis, i.e. how would a certain factor have behaved under past episodes of stress such as the LTCM crisis.
I have no doubt such a tool is a great benefit to equity quants everywhere. The ubiquitous availability of tools like this accelerates the commoditization trend of equity quantitative analysis.
For equity quants, it just means that you need to be more creative about sources of alpha. Don't try to be where everyone is but move somewhere outside the standard bottom-up equity quant framework.
The Inflation-Deflation Timer model turned neutral last week after showing an "inflation" signal that has been in place since July 2009.
The above chart shows the price graph of the Reuters/Jeffries CRB Index and the timing of the most recent signal. The Inflation-Deflation Timer model turned bullish on inflation and commodities in late July and moved to a neutral stance this week, which represents a profit of about 8.5%.
There is a possibility that the model could turn positive on inflation again. The commodity and stock markets appear to be staging an oversold rally, which could create a whipsaw condition and flip the model back to inflation. Such a reversal is likely to be a fake-out. For example, consider the technical position of gold, a leading indicator of inflationary expectations. Gold is facing significant resistance technical resistance that if faces if it were to rally significantly. Investors are overly eager to be bullish, which is contrarian bearish. Moreover, commodity prices as measured by the CRB have violated the uptrend line shown in the above chart.
An investor who strictly follows the Inflation-Deflation Timer model would move from a position of holding a basket of commodities into a 100% equity allocation. However, I would be inclined to be more cautious than to assume the risk of an all-equity portfolio.
There is substantial valuation risk embedded in the stock market. The chart below shows the Tobin Q ratio, or the market value of a company divided by the replacement value of the firm's assets. (A low Q, between 0 and 1, implies undervalue while a high Q, over 1, implies overvalue.) Right now, it indicates that the S&P 500 is substantially overvalued.
In addition, other respected investors believe the stock market to be overvalued. John Hussman believes fair value is between 672 and 810. Jeremy Grantham has a fair value estimate of 860 on the S&P 500.
As well, stock and commodity prices have violated a number of important technical trendlines. This loss of momentum also indicates that investor sentiment may be turning against the investment thesis of economic recovery.
The combination of a valuation headwind and neutral or negative price momentum makes us highly nervous about a full all-equity commitment. Under these circumstances, I would be inclined to add a greater bond component to a balanced fund portfolio.
Scott Grannis put up a Misery Index update last week and the picture isn't pretty. The misery index is probably worse than shown because the two components of the index, namely headline unemployment and CPI, are arguably understated compared to the 1970s – previous episodes of high misery in US history.
We can't escape the simple fact: The cupboard is bare.
Greece benefitted from being in the Eurozone by getting very low interest rates, up until recently. Being in the Eurozone made investors confident. Now that confidence is eroding daily. And this week's market action says rates will go higher, without some fiscal discipline. To help my US readers put this in perspective, let's assume that Greece was the size of the US. To get back to Maastricht Treaty levels, they would need to cut the deficit by 4% of GDP for the next few years. If the US did that, it would mean an equivalent budget cut of $500 billion dollars. Per year. For three years running.
The market is saying they don't believe that will happen. For one thing, if the Greek economy goes into recession, the amount collected in taxes will fall, meaning the shortfall will increase. Second, it is not clear that Greek voters will approve such a plan at their next elections. Riots and demonstrations are a popular pastime.
President Obama on Wednesday blamed the Democrats' stunning loss of their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate on his administration's failure to give voice to the economic frustrations of the middle class, a disconnect that White House aides vowed to quickly address as they continue to work to advance the president's agenda.
This was a working-class revolt, and it reveals the danger to Democrats of not successfully addressing workers' economic concern.
Voters' believed the federal government has helped Wall Street—61% say government recession policies have helped Wall Street and large banks a lot or a fair amount—but not average working people (only 18%).
In other words, it's not our fault - blame Wall Street. When (not if) things get worse, how long before the Daily Kos crowd moves from tax Wall Street bankers to stringing them up on lampposts?
As Democrats struggle to respond to a surge of populist anger that has put them on the defensive, Republicans face a challenge of their own: How do you appeal to voters furious at big banks and Wall Street without alienating the party's traditional business allies?
Right now, the natural tendency of the Right is to migrate towards the Tea Party movement. When things get worse, some of the extremist elements could move the consensus to the land of the skinheads and KKK under the banner of "law and order". Blame the outsiders, the Jews, the blacks, the Muslims, the Chinese and their "slave labor", etc.
A radical lurch, regardless of whether it's to the Left or the Right, is unhealthy. I reiterate what I wrote in my post entitled Political stability and the middle class: "If the middle class crumbles, what happens to political stability?" We can only hope that the political consensus stays near the middle, because the alternative represents the tearing of the social fabric and political disintegration - and the markets won't like that one bit.


Fast and slow, ball and socket, action and reaction, ordinate and abscissa-scientific concepts often come in twos. Unscramble the words and phrases below to find 10 pairs of words from 10 different areas of science. The terms can be antonyms, synonyms, or even well-known counterparts. For example, problem 1, ABC IDEAS, unscrambles to form ACID/BASE, familiar terms from chemistry. To help you untangle these twisted terms, the 10 areas of science appear below but not in the same order as the terms.


I covered some of this stuff in this post from April, but let's review some more Fat Facts. This is important setup for some of my points later on, so slog through it. This I ordain.
I don't eat fish or really any seafood. I rarely eat pork (I'll have ham on a sandwich or pizza occasionally) and beef even less. I do eat turkey and chicken. They're the healthiest meat (minus fish which I can gloat about not eating for environmental reasons but really I despise the taste) and poultry is delicious. However, I only eat the white meat, and avoid the skin.
There are certain foods I call pointless foods. Rice, pasta/noodles (of the Orient or otherwise) and bread are pointless foods. They're pointless because they're starchy carbs, so they're off diet, and I don't find them satisfying. When I order Indian or Thai I skip the rice, but will take naan instead (I know I just said I don't enjoy bread but naan's an exception). At Thanksgiving dinner there may be rolls right next to the stuffing, I'll skip the roll but take extra stuffing. The problem with pointless foods is that if they're still around after I've eaten everything else, oh, I'll eat them, just like anything else that's put in front of me. So I make a point not to get them in front of me. Simply put, these foods are not worth it to eat, as far as I'm concerned.
Another aspect of what I'd like to call my eating disorder is that I eat when I'm not hungry. This happens for two reasons: a) I'm really craving a specific food, usually instant-gratification junk foods such as cheddar beer chips, taro bubble tea or a tub of Ben & Jerry's Vermonty Python ice cream (which I can't find anywhere anymore – was it a limited edition or something? Not that I should have access to this anyway); 2) I'm bored or procrastinating, like for azzample when I draw, I'll make some weak passes at a difficult bit (and starting a drawing is always a difficult bit) and then take a break which may involve a video game or eating or both. As a result of the Cravy Craverson Effect and the Bore Me To Munchies Effect (especially the latter) I've learned that a successful strategy is not to keep any food in the house. This has the extra bonus insofar as when I really do have to eat something, I have to get on my bike and exercise in order to fetch it. That's one of the boons of having been evicted actually – I am no longer two short blocks from butter tarts and eccles cakes at 11:45pm.
Get a crockpot. You can usually find them at thrift stores. Here's what you do: [explains how to cook a chicken & vegetables with ease] When its done cooking eat it. Or some of it anyway. The rest put in a container for later. Except, leave the fluid in the crockpot. You should remove the meat from the bones. Put the bones back in the crockpot. Cook it for another hour or two. Strain all the non-fluid stuff and as much of the chicken fat as you can get. You now have chicken broth. You can make soup or you could use it to cook rice (and you can use the crockpot for that) and have yummy rice. In total, this should take maybe twenty minutes of your time (prep, finish, etc). It's healthy and yummy and easy.
Okay, I'm listening to what you're saying. This is intriguing. Permit me to respond, and don't take this as naysaying or dismissal, because I am actually considering the benefits of this and trying to fairly weigh the idea vs reality. Additionally, I don't want to pooh-pooh feedback because I do like the ideas and suggestions all y'all are providing in the comments.
Alpha Phase: Get a crockpot. This is probably something to put on my Christmas wish list because I don't envision this as something I can ride home with in my backpack. I guess I could take the bus. I'll contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.
1) Buy one of the roasted whole chickens from Safeway or Max's Deli. It's been a while since I did the Safeway thing but the chickens at Max's are stuffed with oranges and onions and seasoned with rosemary. Good stuff.
2) Buy a package of precooked grilled turkey strips and crack a bottle of Grey Poupon.
3) Buy peppercorn or sundried tomato or flavour de jour sliced turkey in the deli section of Safeway and do as 2 or occasionally make a sandwich with it.
Gamma Phase (optional): Storing the chicken. I'd pretty much have to get the chicken on the same day that I'd cook it. There is no room in the 2 fridges here. No problem if I plan properly.
Delta Phase: Eat the chicken. Yum.
Epsilon Phase: Leftovers. See CUPBOARD IS BARE DILEMMA listed above. This is probably the biggest drawback to the idea.
Zeta Phase: Broth benefit. I of course would have nothing to do with broth because I don't make soup or rice (again, having no pots or pans or a strainer for that matter, and generally not being a fan of soup or rice!). I guess Kodos would be a fan of this phase though.
Eta Phase: Washing the dishes. I think we all know my feelings on this matter. If I had to choose only one reason not to cook, this would be it.
All of that said, this sounds like an interesting project and I'd like to do it just to see how it turns out. A fun and delicious experiment! Would I do it on a regular basis? Depends on initial success. Certainly not as convenient as just buying cooked chicken. Is there any difference in how healthy a roasted chicken is vs a slow-cooked one? Or in taste?
Day 8: granola bar 130 + apple 100 + granola bar 110 + orange 100 + ice cream 100 + granola bar 110 + turkey in a can! 200 + misc party snacks (about a 6-10 chips some with bean dip, a chocolate covered espresso bean, 3 grape tomatoes and a couple carrot sticks) 100 = 940 calories.
Did anyone notice that I used a) and 2)? If you did, you win. Maybe there's a puzzle in every blog entry here on thickets.net/toren – think about it!
I can understand the eat to procrastinate thing. I used to do that. Now I read blogs/surf the web. I'm doing it right now. I should be fixing the spine rigging on this character, but I'm reading your blog instead.
However. . . You realize that you have lost the first battle in the "diet wars" by surrendering control of food preperation to "the others".
In any case, your kitchen infrastructure issues defeat the whole idea of the slow-cooker (we call it that also). I'd hate for this to go down like the coffee experiment.
If somehow, you do find yourself trying this DO NOT BUY a chicken from Safeway. Go to a butcher. In fact, go to a halal butcher (if there's one in your area).
An word of advice about broth: if you are in any way used to commercial soups (ie, Campbell's) or non-white flavour bases (Indian food, Thai, etc), you will find broth made from a chicken bland as hell and very disappointing. Stocks are made with a lot of veggies in addition to the meat, and when using meat, browning it first really helps the flavour. None of this saves you much time. Seriously, as someone who makes stock semi-regularly, I think for someone like you it's not worth the time and effort required to get one that tastes good. Boiled chicken water will not taste like chicken soup.
However, if you need water anyway (for rice, soup or stock base, whatever) boiled chicken water will have more flavour than tap water. Just don't expect miracles from it – it will need more effort to taste good.
I was going to suggest an Omega Phase, but then realized what that would entail. We've read quite enough on your bowel movements, thanks.
If you don't eat the skin (which I forgot to mention is stuffed with rosemary and parsley and salted) it's relatively healthy. The roasted potatoes, on the other hand, are a greasy mass of delicious chicken fat. You can forgo the salt on the skin, too. And you don't have to make the potatoes with the chicken fat.
Writing this is making my mouth water.
Another great benefit of cooking: it's cheap! You know those $8 meals you can buy prepared everywhere? They cost $1 to make.
Hey this just in. . .


(CNN) - He's back on the dance floor.
Two months after Gov. Chris Christie showed off his moves on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, the New Jersey Republican was swinging his hips again this weekend, this time in the Hamptons with a roomful of celebrities.
(CNN) – Wearing a t-shirt and shorts, Gov. Chris Christie accepted the increasingly popular Ice Bucket Challenge and let his two youngest kids dump a large pail of water on the New Jersey Republican.
In a video posted on Facebook Tuesday night, Christie said he was nominated by Scott O'Neill of the New Jersey Devils. In return, he challenged Sen. Cory Booker, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and NBC's "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon.
(CNN) - They're at it again.
Rand Paul was asked in a recent interview to name one word when he thinks of fellow Republican Chris Christie.
Washington (CNN) — Mitt Romney is Jersey bound.
The former Republican presidential nominee will team up with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for a fundraiser benefiting the New Jersey Republican Party next month, sources familiar with the plans told CNN.
The event is billed as a birthday celebration for Christie, who turns 52 next month.
Washington (CNN) - It's been a year since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky started taking jabs at each other, staking out their ideological territory within the Republican Party.
But the two potential presidential contenders have also been singing the same tune on a few issues as they get closer to 2016.

Rank what you are promoting model's performance on a scale of 0 (unhealthy) to 10 (glorious) for every question. This guestpost tells the special story of how Sebastián Salinas Claro and Joshua Bicknel linked across the globe on the Business Mannequin Hub They joined efforts in their intention to defeat poverty by educating entrepreneurship.
That is the perfect tribute to the age, the place we're heading in the direction of Enterprise Mannequin Adoption Cycles' graduating from 'Product and Expertise Adoption Cycles'.. and these cycles are appearing at quicker frequencies! By going for the iPad first and the Web second we needed to indicate what's really potential when it comes business card magnets to prototyping business fashions. A case examine of how the Enterprise Model Canvas was used for a startup, ENERMAP, to be able to take a look at assumptions early and pivot right into a worthwhile enterprise model.
Successfully, I used to be creating an understanding of how the business mannequin components themselves relate to at least one another. There may be probably an infinite listing of potential values that a business can offer and as technology and innovation improves, the list will continue to grow. A transitive relationship is one that is sensible to an individual, but doesn't make sense in an information model. After studying the book and getting a dangle of how the enterprise mannequin canvas functions, you should use the instrument to simply share it together with your inside or external stakeholders and likewise with your enterprise partners.
The Enterprise Mannequin Era is about people who strive to defy outmoded enterprise models. The guide is quick to learn, and there have been several sections I bookmarked to place into use in my firm, which to me is at all times a great sign for a ebook. I hope we will buy this e book in Korean, so many korean readers and college students can read this ebook. Key Assets – the belongings required by the business as a way to provide the client segments with the worth proposition the enterprise has established for.
The identical product, service, or technology might fail with one enterprise model, but succeed with one other. You'll discover ways to systematically understand, design, and implement a new enterprise mannequin – or analyze and renovate an outdated one. Nonetheless, the books shows how from the enterprise mannequin's perspective, particularly the income streams join value propositions and buyer segments. Within the case of our example this is simply a cloud-based mostly enterprise Model Web App and devoted teamspaces for clients or teams.
The Business Mannequin Canvas as seen under is derived from the Enterprise Mannequin Generation Guide by authors Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur (which is superior by the way). Quite a lot of business schools could be broke if the Business Model Era's down-to-earth, collaborative strategies were taught in primary business courses. Business Mannequin Generation is for those ready to abandon outmoded thinking and embrace new, progressive fashions of value creation: executives, consultants, entrepreneurs – and leaders of all organizations.
As change agents, they should understand how enterprise mannequin innovation brings radical transformations to the best way their company operates. It gives a brilliantly concise overview of a business in an effort to build your own model to see the place and how you are adding value; and in so doing take into account where you might must greatest focus your efforts, each now and in the future. There is always a niche between the place the business actually is, and the place the enterprise mannequin says that the business needs to be. This can be a good thing and typically a nasty thing.
You'll discover ways to systematically understand, design, and implement a recreation-altering enterprise mannequin-or analyze and renovate an previous one. Personally, I discover Osterwalder's strategy to defining what a enterprise model is both easy and helpful. The Business Model Innovation Hub is where the management e book bestseller Business Mannequin Era was written in collaboration with 470 contributors. Canvas just like the Enterprise Mannequin Canvas: plot it as a poster, then stick it up on the wall, and then use sticky notes to start out sketching.
The occasion accompanied the upcoming launch of the Enterprise Model Generation book. Steve's e book contains wonderful worksheets with questions to develop the hypotheses. We'll cover the nine constructing blocks of business fashions from customer segmentation, worth proposition, and partnerships by to price buildings. Earlier than writing a single sentence or drawing a single illustration Osterwalder and Pigneur invited individuals to co-create the ebook. In provide-driven models, the starting point is the Value Proposition and the point of the model is to create (new) value propositions that have an effect on different constructing blocks.
For instance, few people know that Nespresso – right now a 2+ billion USD business owned by Nestlé – nearly failed within the late 80s because of an unsuccessful business mannequin. I will attempt to cowl each part in the canvas in the order that the writers meant. Explained in just over 2 minutes in the video beneath, the canvas is a simple but rigorous business mannequin framework that visually represents the 9 basic building blocks that present the logic of how an organization intends to generate profits." Not solely is the canvas straightforward to use however it also permits a shared language for enterprise modelling—both 'fast and dirty' and systematic prototyping, comparability and analysis have now develop into attainable.
Business Model Generation , written by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, co-created by 470 practitioners captures the essence of how an organization creates and captures worth. Many different business conceptualizations exist; Osterwalder's work and thesis (2010, three 2004 5 ) propose a single reference mannequin primarily based on the similarities of a wide range of enterprise model conceptualizations. Business people must turn out to be designers." Especially in the thesis section of our grasp, it's essential to remind yourself once in a time about this precept.
That mentioned, the idea of a key activity" is too restricted for enterprise modeling. This put up will try to explain the metamodel that I created for Osterwalder's BMGEN when I was working to integrate his concepts into the Enterprise Enterprise Motivation Model Note that I created this metamodel initially in 2009, and updated it in 2011 by way of collaboration with the Enterprise Structure Guild. An important business model can give you a longer-time period protection from competitors than just a great product.

Thanks for taking the time to check out the photos. cant believe how sick they turned out!! by far one of the best days this season and it keeps getting better! i couldn't ask to be riding with a better group of people and im proud to be part of the team whilst doing my training here. i was a bit apprehensive about doing a full season in poland at first but iv been to a fair few resorts across the globe and zakopane has by far more than you need to have a sick season and get your qualifications whilst saving alot of money.. id definitely recommend the coarse to anyone serious about boarding/sking whilst being in a completely relaxed environment and meeting some of the friendliest people, no matter what stage of boarding/skiing you are at.
A little feedback on how the sunshineworld crew do it!
To begin with i have only been here nearly 6 days and boarded roughly 2 weeks. In the week i have been here they have already shown me how it is! my riding style and technique has improved 5 million percent on top of this being the best week of my life!! i cant believe how rad and skilled the team is and i have another 9 weeks with them. YEW! whatever you want they've got it covered and they treat you like a GOD. ill be back thats for sure!
I started doing designs for snowboards as just a sort of a goof around to begin with, I had just started using Photoshop and thought that it would be a kind of cool little project. As soon as I finished the first design though I got the bug and I got it good! … my dream is to start a custom ski and snowboard company much like when Vans started, people will come to us with their idea or their design and we will put it onto their equipment so what is purchased is not only a set of skis or a snowboard that is exactly how they want it, but they have their own idea/ vision on it too.

Are you looking for the best personal finance software?
I have been introduced to a brand new software application that helps you take control of your finances.
Setting up a budget to compare income and expenses can be the first step on a journey that will result in building data you can use to manage the crucial decisions in your life.
Its ease of use and product support makes it valuable in building your wealth.
To elaborate, family life has different stages that have a big effect on household expenditure, like having a baby, getting married, changing schools, property investing, moving overseas and more.
This is why choosing the best personal finance software can be a powerful tool.
Several years ago, during the recession, there were pay freezes to stay in a job and many people had been made redundant or had to reduce hours.
Of course, income can also increase through starting a business, promotion, and changing jobs, etc. all opening up new opportunities for you!
Therefore, the ideal personal finance software should be easy to use, but also a tool to look at the years ahead.
So I recommend starting with FreshBooks for free to get your finances on track, especially if you are a self employed entrepreneur.
You should be able to create and save as many budgets as you like even, and to look at the possibilities at all to consider 'what if' scenarios.
The budgeting tool is intuitive and powerful in-home accounting software.
You are inserting an annual total for an account, which will be dispersed throughout the year's twelve months.
Or you're establishing a supply for each account using a slider, or input the figures manually if you want.
Also, you should be able to have as many accounts as you like and you can have balances within groups and subgroups according to the arrangement that reflects your needs.
You should see the group where the account resides changing to reflect the sum of each of the parts, as you populate an account.
Next, you can then examine your budget at a very simple macro level or enlarge the chart of accounts to show all of the parent and child relationships within the groups at the level.
Remember the money is in the detail!
You can then monitor income and expenses once you've built a budget to mirror your chart of accounts.
If you've forgotten to budget for specific income or expenses, it is very easy to edit your budget when you come to make it for the next 12, 18 or 36 months.
If you're happy with your budget and don't want to make any changes, it can be locked by you.
At the year's end, you can archive it, meaning you can still get it to review your history.
If you find your planned expenditure exceeds your income having all of your expenses presented in one view lets you plan a course of action that can lead to positive change.
In effect, you can make better decisions to alter the status quo before your financing become unmanageable by looking at the budget.
You can also target areas for cost reduction.
Here is an example: you set a budget to reduce energy costs based on a quote from an energy supplier.
With a wonderful personal finance package, you will be tracking actual expenditure against your budget and can check to be certain that the deal was as great as it was made out to be.
If not you'll be prepared to make changes to your energy supplier.
In summary, this is how it works for each area of spending and income.
Many price comparison sites allow you to check out the best deals on personal finance software.
A budget lets you plan for treats and luxuries and forecast after all of your financial obligations are taken into consideration when your income is increasing.
This is the purpose of using the best personal finance software.
In closing, think about this question – Is the additional money that you save going to generate more money in the long-term with savings or valuable investments?


College Success Academy's challenging and rewarding curriculum prepares Scholars over the course of four years.
Year One: Fifth-grade Scholars learn the rigors and standards of Steppingstone work, practice good study and organizational skills, and forge strong relationships with peers.
Year Two: Scholars can act as role models for those starting their Steppingstone journey. They dive into more difficult work, such as close reading in ELA, ratios and proportions in math, and basic chemistry.
Year Three: Scholars prepare to be more independent with their schoolwork, as they begin the approach to high school. In a Humanities course, Scholars explore human rights by reading about and discussing real world issues from history and present day. In math, they work on pre-algebra skills, and in science they learn about DNA.
ELA: Scholars read novels of their choice and write about them in their own blogs. This curriculum encourages Scholars to seek out books they love and focuses on building writing and technology skills.
Math: Scholars prepare for eighth-grade algebra and use math in real-world contexts, such as through designing their dream bedroom.
Science: To apply their engineering and design skills, Scholars create water filters, build boats, and cook s'mores in solar ovens.
Advisory: An extension of the summer's Challenges and Choices curriculum, Scholars practice social skills, learn about conflict resolution, identify community members to whom they can go for support, and expand their college knowledge.
Visual Thinking Strategies: To hone critical thinking and discussion skills, Scholars analyze and discuss works of art. This curriculum includes a field trip to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts.
Study Hall: Scholars work on school homework and receive assistance and targeted tutoring from staff and college students. If Scholars finish their homework, they can play educational games chosen by Steppingstone staff.
In 7th and 8th grade, Scholars receive comprehensive guidance in selecting the Boston public high schools that are right for them. At the end of 8th grade, they transition into Steppingstone's Support Services department. The community celebrates this important milestone with a Commencement ceremony.
After completing their academic preparation with Steppingstone, Scholars are paired with an Advisor in Support Services, where they continue to receive guidance and support throughout high school. Once in college, they work closely with Steppingstone's College Services department.

El tiriyó és una llengua carib que utilitzen quotidianament els tiriyós, la majoria dels quals són monolingües. Tot i que tiriyó és l'ortografia preferida, els tiriyó es refereixen a si mateixos com a "tarëno"; existeixen altres variacions, incloses tarano, tirió, i trio. Els tiriyó se situen a ambdós marges de la frontera entre el Brasil i Surinam a les terres baixes d'Amèrica del Sud. Com que el tiriyó és parlat per tota la població yiriyó, el seu nivell de perill és baix. Tanmateix, es pot veure amenaçat per la presència d'una estació de radar instal·lada recentment, dotada d'un nombre considerable de persones no indígenes properes al poble principal.

Ewarhuyana, inclosa a Campbell (2012), és un nom alternatiu a tiriyó.

Història
El tiriyó modern està format per diverses comunitats indígenes; alguns d'aquests, com els aramixó, s'esmenten en els escrits europeus ja entre 1609 i 1610. Molts dels grups que ara són tiriyó van viure entre el Brasil i la Guiana francesa fins que van ser expulsats pels oyampi, un grup de tupís aliats amb els portuguesos. Junts, els portuguesos i els oyampis van conduir aquests grups cap a l'oest i es van barrejar amb els grups que hi havia a la zona per formar el modern grup tiriyó.

Com a tal, els tiriyó va establir contacte relativament aviat amb grups esclaus fugitius que es van establir a la zona cap a finals del segle XVIII. Van mantenir relacions comercials regulars amb un grup, els ndjukes, i durant molts anys van ser l'únic contacte que els tiriyó va tenir amb poblacions estrangeres. El primer contacte registrat entre els tiriyó i un europeu van tenir lloc el 1843 entre un poble "Drio" i Robert Schomburgk; això i la trobada entre l'explorador francès Jules Crevaux i uns quants "Trio" van ser els dos únics punts de contacte entre Tiriyó i els europeus al segle XIX. El contacte posterior entre europeus i tiriyó a la primera meitat del segle XX va produir estudis etnogràfics i lingüístics de la regió i, en particular, dels subgrups tiriyó. Després de la "fase exploratòria" de contacte, va arribar la fase missionera, en què les pistes d'aterratge de nova construcció van facilitar el contacte entre missioners i els tiriyó. Aquestes missions van intentar concentrar la població tiriyó en països més grans pobles per convertir-los més fàcilment al cristianisme i, amb el pas del temps, s'hi van unir altres grups indígenes com els akuriyó.

Avui els tiriyó tenen un alt grau d'independència perquè els seus assentaments són de difícil accés. No obstant això, els interessa reforçar les relacions amb el món estranger.

Classificació
El tiriyó ha estat classificat com a pertanyent al grup taranoà de la sub-branca guianana del Carib, juntament amb el karihona (carijona), a Colòmbia i l'akuriyó, a Surinam, el primer amb uns quants parlants i el segon sense aparentment parlants. Gildea (2012) llista tiriyó i trió com a idiomes diferents.

Investigació lingüística
La primera llista de paraules tiriyó va ser compilada per Jules Crevaux el 1882, que constava de 31 entrades que incloïen dues frases en Ndyuka-Tiriyó, una llengua pidgin. El 1909, Claudius Henricus De Goeje va escriure una breu gramàtica tiriyó al costat d'una llista de paraules més llarga d'unes 500 entrades que havia publicat anteriorment el 1904. Estudis lingüístics en profunditat del tiriyó no es van escriure fins a finals del , quan Ernest Migliazza va publicar una investigació sobre la fonologia del tiriyó el 1965, igual que Morgan Jones el 1972. Els dos dialectes del tiriyó van ser descrits per primera vegada en aquella obra per Jones. El 1980 es va publicar un breu estudi morfològic de Ruth Wallace. Sérgio Meira ha dut a terme moltes investigacions sobre Tiriyó, inclosos el 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2005. La seva gramàtica descriptiva del tiriyó (1999) va ser el primer text important sobre la llengua, i descriu aspectes de la fonologia, morfologia, sintaxi i semàntica tiriyó. També proporciona una llista de paraules comunament manllevades al tiriyó i un diccionari preliminar anglès-tiriyó. Eithne Carlin també ha escrit una gramàtica descriptiva del tiriyó, que se centra en el tiriyó com el parla la gent de Surinam. Carlin també ha publicat altres treballs sobre el tiriyó (Carlin 1997, 1999, 2003, 2006, 2011), principalment relacionats amb la semàntica i la sociolingüística.

Documentació
Tiriyó ha estat parcialment documentat com a part de la investigació de Meira amb la Universitat de Leiden, juntament amb l'Institut Max Planck de Psicolingüística. Aquesta documentació es va iniciar el 1993 en virtut del Projecte de documentació sobre llengües carib del nord del Brasil, de la Dra. Spike Gildea, i va continuar fins al 1999. La documentació de Meira incloïa un enfocament específic en els patrons d'accents, els demostratius contrastius, i postposicions locatives. Hi ha hagut relativament pocs estudis etnogràfics sobre el tiriyó, amb l'excepció de les obres del missioner Protasio Frikel i l'antropòleg anglès Peter Rivière. Entre els anys 50 i 70, Frikel va escriure set obres (Frikel 1957, 1958, 1960, 1961a, b, 1964, 1971, 1973) relacionades amb el tiriyó. Rivière ha publicat diverses obres (Rivière 1963, 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1981a, b, 1984, 1987, 1988, 1994, 1995a, b, 2000) a partir del 1963, sobretot el casament entre els trio. Als seus escrits tracta els errors comesos per Frikel.

Dialectes
Sembla que hi ha dos dialectes principals a la zona de parla tiriyó, anomenats per Jones (1972) "orientals" o "conca del Tapanahoni", i dialectes "occidentals" o "conca del Sipaliwini", i per Meira (2000, per aparèixer) K-Tiriyó i H-Tiriyó. La diferència principal fins ara reportada és fonològica: la realització diferent del que eren (històricament) clústers que impliquen /h/ i una oclusiva . També poden existir diferències gramaticals i/o lèxiques, però es disputen els exemples produïts fins ara.

Demogràficament, l'H-Tiriyó és el dialecte més important (aproximadament el 60% dels parlants). És el dialecte que es parla al poble de Kwamalasamutu (Surinam) i als pobles del riu Paru occidental (Tawainen o Missão Tiriós, Kaikui Tëpu, Santo Antônio) i també al llarg del riu Marapi (Kuxare, Yawa, etc.). El K-Tiriyó es parla als pobles del riu Paru oriental (Mataware i algunes persones a Bonna) al Brasil i als pobles de Tepoe i Paloemeu a Surinam.

Tiriyo també va ser una base del pidgin ndyuka-tiriyó.

Fonologia
Tiriyó té 7 vocals i 10 consonants, tal com es mostra a la taula següent. (Símbols ortogràfics en negreta, valors IPA entre claudàtors.)

Vocals

 Les vocals (a, e, i, o, u) són molt properes a les seves habituals valors en, per exemple, castellà.
 La vocal central ï is usually , però també se sent , especialment després d'una consonant velar;
 La vocal central ë is usually , però també és habitual  o .

Consonants

 La fricativa  mostra una variació considerable. Alguns parlants tenen , altres tenen  o , o fins i tot . La vocal següent també influeix en la pronunciació de : : les realitzacions semblants són més freqüents abans de  i .
 La ròtica r sovint és retroflexa () i pot tenir certa lateralitat (); també se senten bategants simples ().
 L'aproximant w no sol arrodonir-se () i, de vegades (sobretot si va seguida de e o i) alguna fricció
 La fricativa glotal  és la diferència més evident entre els dos dialectes principals. K-Tiriyó és un dialecte sense ; on H-Tiriyó té un , K-Tiriyó mostra una seqüència VV (realitzada com a vocal llarga). A H-Tiriyó, cada h - clúster - hp, ht, hk (històricament , , ) - té una realització diferent: , ,  (és a dir, amb p i k, [h] es realitza dèbilment i aspira la següent oclusiva; amb t,  és més forts i no hi ha espirantització). Els parlants d'H-Tiriyó més antics tenen un quart clúster hs , amb und  dèbilment realitzagd, mentre que els parlants H-Tiriyó més joves tenen ~ (els parlants de K-Tiriyó només tenen ); amb tot, el seu estatus és, però, marginal. Els exemples de la taula següent il·lustren aquestes diverses realitzacions:

SUNY General Education Assessment Review Group
The General Education Assessment Review (GEAR) group was established in Spring 2001 upon the recommendation of the Provost's Advisory Task Force on the Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes, and was formed jointly by leadership from the University Faculty Senate, the Faculty Council of Community Colleges, and System Administration. The GEAR group's primary charge is to provide initial and ongoing review of campus-based general education assessment plans. The 2008-09 academic year marks the seventh year of SUNY-wide general education assessment, with Strengthened Campus-Based Assessment beginning in 2006-07.
Interested persons may keep up to date with the GEAR Group's activities, as well as other assessment-related issues affecting SUNY, by subscribing to SUNY's assessment listserv. To do so, simply send a request to Patricia Francis, GEAR Co-Chair.
Comprised primarily of faculty from throughout the University, GEAR also includes two campus chief academic officers and several campus professional staff (particularly from Institutional Research). (LINK TO FULL LIST)
The GEAR group's goal is to work with the 57 SUNY campuses with general education programs as they develop and implement their campus-based plans for assessing student learning outcomes in general education, following the guidelines contained in the Task Force report. GEAR functions as a resource and a colleague, making itself available to campuses as they feel it would be most helpful, and engaging them in a dialogue as they develop and implement their assessment plans. GEAR's review of campus General Education assessment plans focuses exclusively on the campus's assessment processes and procedures, not the assessment outcomes themselves.
GEAR also has responsibility for conducting activities that facilitate the development and refinement of campus-based general education assessment plans, including a kick-off conference held in June 2001 and the Best Practices conference held in Albany in November 2003. On April 27-28, 2005 GEAR held a kick-off conference for Strengthened Campus-Based Assessment in Syracuse, New York.
GEAR receives and critiques campus assessment plans and approves those that meet the criteria established by the Task Force for effective assessment; campuses receive written notification of revisions that would likely lead to approval, as appropriate. GEAR places a strong emphasis on the extent to which campuses demonstrate they are using or will use assessment results to improve their General Education programs, and has established a clear protocol, consistent with Task Force recommendations, for campuses to use to report assessment results in General Education to System Administration for the purpose of accountability. (LINK TO FURTHER DETAILS ON THE PROCESS)
The GEAR group continues the long tradition of involving existing faculty governance and curriculum review structures on individual State University campuses in the process of program assessment. This involvement of SUNY faculty was central in the early 1990's when the State University was playing a leadership role nationally in the assessment movement, and it certainly characterized the deliberations of the Task Force on the Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes that provided the rationale for establishing GEAR.

This is quick and breaking news which I just stumbled upon. Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has confirmed to The Mirror, that contact has been made with Barca regarding Cesc Fabregas. Hill- Wood, has however denied that an offer has been made and that they don't want to sell him.
"Yes, they have spoken to us about Cesc," he said, according to The Mirror.
"They have been in touch. But so far they have not made a bid and we do not want to let him go.
"But he comes from Barcelona so it is understandable if he wanted to go back. However, they have not made an offer so far."
What do you think? Is this a sign that Fabregas is leaving? Or is it nothing to be concerned about? Please share your thoughts and opinions.
Another day of transfer gossip, news, rumors, speculation goes by surrounding the Gunners. There is, as usual, interesting news and headlines, so without further ado... here is the Arsenal Transfer News Roundup.
After weeks of speculation, news and such, stating that Samba is closing in on a move to the Gunners. Anuradha Desai, stated during an interview with the Daily Mail that they wish to hold on to Chris Samba for at least one more season and they'll do whatever they can to convince Samba to stay.
'We don't want to let Chris go,' said Desai. 'I'm confident that we can keep him and I hope he'll stay.
Looks like the Gunners, still have a long way to go if they want to acquire the Blackburn skipper; they won't let go of him without a fight.
Many reports are filtering around, suggesting and stating for weeks, that Arsenal are interested in Newcastle's Jose Enrique and are considering him as a replacement, in case Clichy leaves. This report states that the Gunners have already met with Jose Enrique's representatives and reports vary his value between 10-15 million pounds. In my opinion, Jose Enrique would be a solid addition if he were to join the Gunners.
There are reports stating that Arsenal and Manchester United have held talks with the agent representing AS Roma and Montenegrin international star, Mirko Vucinic. Vucinic, is considered one of the best strikers in the Serie A, known for his excellent skills and technique and can not only play as a central forward, but also as a left winger. Despite this, Mirko Vucinic is valued at 26 million pounds, which is a turn off and an over hyped price tag.
What do you think? Should Arsenal go for Vucinic? Is Jose Enrique a suitable replacement for Gael Clichy? What do you think of the Samba situation? Please share your thoughts and opinions.

Playing Field Information Announced For Globe Life Field
Field dimensions will honor iconic players and seasons in Texas Rangers history
Arlington, Texas — The Texas Rangers today released details on the playing field information for the new Globe Life Field, which will open in March 2020.
Among the details announced were the field dimensions from home plate to the outfield locations. The distances have been designed to honor the five Rangers whose numbers have been retired by the club. In addition, the distances in the left field and right field power alleys will recognize two early seasons in Rangers' history.
GLOBE LIFE FIELD DIMENSIONS
Left Field Line: 329 feet (Adrian Beltre's #29)
Left Field Power Alley: 372 feet (Rangers' first year in Arlington–1972)
Center Field (straightaway): 407 feet (Ivan Rodriguez' #7)
Deepest Distance of Park (both left and right of straightaway CF): 410 feet (Michael Young's #10)
Right Field Power Alley: 374 (The Turnaround Gang, 57 to 84 wins–1974)
Right Field Line: 326 feet (Johnny Oates' #26)
In addition, there will be a distance marker in left field at 334 feet from home plate to recognize Nolan Ryan's #34. The distance from home plate straight back to the wall of the Field Suites is 42 feet, which honors Jackie Robinson's #42.
The outfield walls will be eight feet in height from the left-field foul pole to the right-field foul pole. The batter's eye structure in centerfield will be 120 feet in length and 40 feet high.
The Rangers' bullpen will be situated in right field with the visiting bullpen in left field. Texas' dugout will be on the first base side, and the visiting team will utilize the third base dugout. The playing field orientation (the line from home plate to pitcher's mound to second base) at Globe Life Field will run East Northeast as opposed to East Southeast at both Arlington Stadium and Globe Life Park.
With Globe Life Field's retractable roof closed, the distance from home plate to the bottom of the roof truss is 193', 10", and the distance from second base to the bottom of the roof truss is 210', 6". The bottom of the right-field video board, which measures 58 feet high and 150 feet long, will be 131". 4" from the warning track.
Globe Life Field's synthetic grass field will be provided by Shaw Sports Turf with installation completed by Texas-based Paragon Sports Constructors. Work on the playing field is expected to begin later this month.
