Equity futures are up this morning while the dollar is breaking below support and making new lows for the year. DOW and S&P overnight action is below:
Bonds are down slightly while the Dollar, which has been flirting with Disaster, has broken beneath recent support and hit an overnight low of 74.40.
Gold, of course is going ballistic and is now pushing the $1,200 mark with an overnight high of $1,184 an ounce. Oil is up only slightly after breaking below support and triggering a new bearish Point & Figure target of $71 a barrel:
The MBA purchase applications "data" was first out this morning showing a whopping 9.6% advance over the week prior! This is amazing, especially in light of the recent many large negative prints in the past 6 weeks or so. Here's what Econoday has to say about it:
Two prior weeks of big declines in the purchase index raised talk that however good October may have been good for home sales, November was likely to mark a reversal. But not so fast! The purchase index surged 9.6 percent in the Nov. 20 week, biting into mid single digit and low double digit declines in the prior two weeks (note MBA said the prior week was revised slightly lower but offered no further details). The sequence suggests that let down with the end of first-time buyer credits was limited to the beginning of November. Refinancing applications fell 9.5 percent in the week but still make up more than 70 percent of all applications, a reflection of extremely low mortgage rates including an average 4.82 percent for 30-year fixed loans.
So, the MBA revised the prior week DOWN, thus making this week look like a larger increase than had the revision not happened. But we can't see the raw data, much less how it's compiled, so we really don't know ANYTHING about what's happening besides the fact that there is no transparency and that we are being manipulated right along with the presentation of the data. Other sites, by the way, that attempt to track this data will be thrown off by revisions… it is completely IMPOSSIBLE to track when all that is reported are percentage changes and revisions are made without telling how large they are. This is the type of stuff that will bring down confidence in the entire system.
Next up is Durable Goods orders. It was expected to produce a month over month POSITIVE .5% change, instead it was a NEGATIVE .6% change. The year over year figures are coming up on easier comparables. Overall, this report is worse than expected:
The outlook for manufacturing cooled a bit in October. New orders for durable goods in October fell 0.6 percent, after a revised 2.0 percent rebound in September. The drop in October was well below the market forecast for a 0.5 percent boost. Excluding the transportation component, new durables orders fell 1.3 percent, following a 1.8 percent jump in September.
The drop in new orders was led by machinery which fell a monthly 8.0 percent, followed by a 2.1 percent decrease in computers & electronics. Also declining were communications equipment and "other" durables. Partially offsetting were gains in primary metals, fabricated metals, electrical equipment, and transportation.
New orders for capital equipment continued to rebound from a drop in August. New orders for nondefense capital goods rose 1.2 percent in October after an increase of 3.2 percent the month before. These orders had dropped 7.8 percent in August.
Year-on-year, overall new orders for durable goods improved to minus 11.9 percent in October from minus 18.8 percent in September. Excluding transportation, new durables orders rose to minus 11.3 percent from down 16.3 percent the previous month.
Today's durables orders report indicate that recovery in manufacturing is not a smooth one. Of course, new durables orders are one of the most volatile market moving indicators published by the government and no one month makes a trend. But at face value, the recovery in manufacturing cooled just a little in October. Equities will not like the orders numbers but jobless claims dropped more than expected and some see the personal income report as healthy (though the details suggest not so much).
Keep in mind that just because the yearly line is pointing up does NOT mean that it is actually rising, just that yoy comparisons are getting better… this yoy number is still significantly negative which means that the economy is still getting worse than it at this time last year, at least in this regard.
Next up is Personal Income and Outlays… This came in almost exactly as expected with wages basically flat but core inflation readings firming slightly:
Personal income was mildly positive in October and spending was up as auto sales rebounded. Personal income in October edged up 0.2 percent, following a revised 0.2 percent rise in September. October's gain matched the consensus forecast. The important wages and salaries component, however, was flat after a 0.1 percent dip in September, indicating that consumer spending power is not improving.
We are seeing probably the final impact of cash-for-clunkers on personal spending in October. Motor vehicle sales fell sharply in September with the ending of incentives in August. In October, auto sales rebounded and returned to normal-at least for the recovery trend. Personal consumption expenditures jumped 0.7 percent after a 0.6 percent drop in September. The market had forecast a 0.5 percent boost in PCEs. The boost in October was led by durables, which rebounded 2.0 percent after an 8.8 percent plunge in September. In the latest month, nondurables rose 0.2 percent while services advanced 0.3 percent.
Inflation firmed in October. Headline PCE price inflation rose to 0.3 percent from a 0.1 percent rise in September. Core PCE inflation edged up to 0.2 percent in October from 0.1 percent the month before. The consensus had expected a 0.2 percent core gain for the latest month.
Year on year, personal income growth for October came in at minus 1.0 percent, improved from minus 1.6 percent in September. Year-ago headline PCE inflation rose to plus 0.2 percent from minus 0.6 percent in September. Year-ago core PCE inflation firmed to up 1.4 percent in October from up 1.3 percent the month before.
On initial blush, the October personal income report looks moderately good. But after taking into account weakness in wages and salaries and that the spending gain was a partial rebound from clunkers, it is indicative of a soft consumer sector. Markets have much to sort through this morning. Some will focus on headline numbers for personal income and see good news. A nice drop in jobless claims this morning may add to that temptation. On the other hand, durables orders were weak. Most likely, the good news on jobless claims will likely tip the balance, boosting equities and firming interest rates.
Weekly jobless claims fell below the 500,000 mark for the first time in a year, with a headline number of "only" 466,000 which was below the 495k consensus. This produced a euphoric spike in the futures:
Improvement in initial claims is picking up steam in what points to lower payroll losses for November's employment report. First time claims fell 35,000 in the Nov. 21 week to 466,000 (prior week revised 4,000 lower). The four-week average also broke below 500,000, down 16,5000 to 496,500. Continuing claims are also falling, down 190,000 to 5.423 million in data for the Nov. 14 week, but here the change also reflects the expiration of benefits. Those receiving extended benefits fell 34,600 to 539,500. Continuing claims may be clouded but initial claims offer perhaps more reason for optimism than any other piece of economic data.
What's there to say? The economy needs to produce 150,000 jobs a month to break even and we're still stacking on newly unemployed workers while others simply run out of benefits. Meanwhile the politicians are clueless that the more debt they inject into the system, the higher unemployment goes. Debt leads to unemployment, they are tied together once debt saturation occurs, and it's here. Having a money system backed by debt, then only worsens the situation when one attempts to spend their way out. It is quite literally impossible to do so.
The spike up may be just the thing to top off the current up move. The VIX diverged bearishly yesterday, again showing signs of severe complacency to me. This is setting up a very dangerous situation with the dollar falling in the background. This trend is simply not sustainable and it's going to end in tears. Funny, and as I type those words, the entire spike caused by this report melted away.
Consumer Sentiment and New Home sales come out at 10 Eastern, the petroleum report at 10:30.
McHugh believes we are making a small rising wedge which is a terminal pattern. If so, this may be the pattern that ends the final wave up of B up. This pattern could have another zig-zag or two left in it.
The move below support in the dollar is the real news of the day. The next support area is down around 71/72. Breaking support was largely caused by the British GDP report coming in stronger than expected with a -.3% reading in their 3rd quarter. Those who think that the U.S. can artificially keep rates at zero forever while monetizing just don't realize how international capital flows work. We will be punished, and the government's attempts to keep everything under control will fail in time.
So, we are now right on the 1,107 SPX pivot point. 1,111/ 1,113 is rejecting advances so far. A run up to the 1,121 area would be the next stop, then comes the 1,133 pivot. If we break below 1,107, support will be 1,101, then the 1,091 pivot.
We are putting in a top, that much I know. A break below support in the dollar might be exactly what's needed to suck in the last of the dollar short people to make a reversal possible. If the dollar continues down, I am going to get REALLY nervous, as in that's the stuff where crashes are eventually born. Those thinking the dollar rising will make a crash haven't seen anything compared to the dollar going down hard in the background. The best outcome from here is that the dollar goes up, equities descend. The worst possible outcome will be found by further devaluing the dollar. That, my friends, is what is called, "Flirtin' with Disaster!"

I'm busy at home tonight so couldn't make class or I'd ask Bill. But is the Uechi front kick almost but not quite a front thrusting kick? In other words the knee comes up sharply but drops as foot goes out. This is instead of the knee coming up and holding it's position and the leg straightening with the foot coming up.
I hope this makes sense.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Roche Holding AG ROG.VX said it would pay up to $1.725 billion to buy Seragon Pharmaceuticals, a privately-held U.S. biotech company that researches breast cancer treatments.
Roche has long dominated the field of breast cancer with drugs such as Herceptin and recently won approval for Kadcyla and Perjeta, two treatments for patients whose cancer cells contain increased amounts of the protein known as HER2.
San Diego-based Seragon was spun out from Aragon Pharmaceuticals last year when that company was bought by Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N. Seragon is focused on developing a new generation of oral medicines that it believes offer an improved way of tackling hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and potentially other cancers.
Its most advanced experimental drug, ARN-810, is currently in initial Phase I clinical trials for breast cancer patients who have not responded to current hormonal agents.
Roche said Seragon's so-called oral selective estrogen receptor degraders, or SERDs, would complement existing research and development programmes in breast cancer under way at the Swiss group's Genentech unit.
The Basel-based drugmaker will pay $725 million in cash and may hand over as much as $1 billion more if Seragon achieves drug development milestones.
The price Roche is paying for Seragon looks relatively high for a firm with only one treatment in a Phase I study, but can be justified because Roche is filling a huge gap for future breast cancer treatments with the purchase, analysts at Zuercher Kantonalbank said.
"We assume that Genentech's scientists see considerable potential in SERDs, because otherwise they would not have accepted this relatively high price," ZKB said.
Roche shares were up 0.5 percent rose at 0821 GMT, outpacing a 0.3 percent rise in a wider index of European drugmakers .SXDP.
Since acquiring Genentech for $46.8 billion in 2009, Roche has earned a reputation as a disciplined acquirer, prepared to walk away from potential deals rather than overpay.
Chief Executive Severin Schwan abandoned a $6.8 billion deal to buy U.S gene sequencing company Illumina in 2012 and has snapped up a couple of smaller diagnostic companies this year instead of pursuing multi-billion deals.
Roche has also partnered with various companies to develop antibiotics and said last week it would work with Inception Sciences Inc and Versant Ventures on a new company to develop therapies for patients with multiple sclerosis.
Seragon is the second notable acquisition in as many months for Roche, which bought privately held U.S. gene-sequencing firm Genia Technologies for up to $350 million in June, securing access to a technology that should allow it to decipher human genes more quickly at a cheaper cost.
The acquisition represents a response to investors who wondered how Roche might use its cash now that its ratio of net debt to assets is back within its target band of zero to 15 percent after paying down debt from acquiring Genentech.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014.

Here it is. A playlist of ten carefully selected tracks, hand-picked from the week of whatever has gone up on the website. Here you'll find tracks by Sacred Harp, The Cure, Dan Mangan, Death Grips, When Saints Go Machine plus a few more. Click here to give it a spin.
1. Sacred Harp - 'Found In The Open Country (The Underlying Deep Structure)'
This week we kicked off our end-of-year content by highlighting some of the records which were missed over the past 12 months and subsequently didn't make the end of year list, but were of a high enough quality to be highlighted by us. Thursday's edition of this featured Oslo-based group Sacred Harp, who you really should listen to. This is as a good a place to start as any, I guess. Read Jazz Monroe's assessment of Window's A Fall here.
2. The Cure - 'Just Like Heaven' (Live at Bestival 2011)
Right, so The Cure released yet another album, this time Live from Bestival. I'm not sure what value this actually brings to anything but they've released it regardless. They're The Cure and they do what they want to, right? Anyway, read Robert Leedham's review here.
3. Dan Mangan - 'Post-War Blues'
Sam Cleeve reckons that Dan Mangan's Oh Fortune "is full of unashamed, orchestrally embellished pop-rock-folk hybrids, instantly accessible and almost as speedily rewarding. It's the sort of record that's should catapult Mangan (and rightly so) on to bigger things, the sort of record that should have his audience-base expanding like a close-knit community of rabbits." Probably worth checking out, then. Have a peek at his full review for further analysis.
4. Air Cav - 'A Call To Arms' (Kraak Remix)
This remix is a delightfully slow-starting track. In fact, it's just delightfully slow the whole way through, never burning at more than a faint glimmer. Air Cav's Don't Look Indoors is released this coming Monday and David Edwards rather liked it. It scored 8/10 and really is an excellent record. But don't take our word for it.
6. Motorhead - 'King of Kings'
If you want to know an interesting piece of trivia about this track it's that professional darts player Mervyn King used to have it as his walk-on music. I'm not sure if it's true now, but still. Fair play to the lad. You can see some pictures of Lemmy and co. performing at Hammersmith Apollo (obviously) by clicking here.
6. Guided By Voices - 'Game Of Pricks'
There's been a lot of commotion and speculation around Guided By Voices this week. That speculation was regarding their alleged splitting up and cancelling festival performances next year. Well, it was only partly true. They aren't splitting up, but they have cancelled some of next year's performances. An album is still on the way, too.
7. Matthew Dear - 'Slowdance'
Matthew Dear is a white-suited genius. Do you disagree? He's got a new album and EP on the way next year and, fortunately enough, you can download the title track from the EP entirely for free. It's called 'Headcage', by the way.
8. When Saints Go Machine - 'Add Ends'
Genuinely, this is an awful name for a band. Mind you, so is 'The Beatles' and nobody really complains about that. Suffice to say that if you make music as good as these Danes then people aren't going to quibble over what you called your band, within reason. They made it onto our Editor's Songs of 2011 playlist, which you can read about and listen to here.
9. Death Grips - 'I Want It I Need It (Death Heated)'
This was another selection from our Lost 11 of 2011, specifically for the album Ex Military, which Simon Jay Catling was singing the praises of. He wrote "When groups like Death Grips still exist I sometimes think we're still alright. They're aware, there are still artists who are still aware, they see the dark and draw it in unflinchingly". We might be OK. We might be OK.
10. Blanck Mass - 'Sundowner'
It's always nice to read an article where you feel like you get some insight into what drives a musician. I think this article on soundtracks by Benjamin John Power of Blanck Mass (and also Fuck Buttons) does this. Have a read of it, it's worth your time.

The patch that presumably will solve MLB 2K10's connectivity problems in online multiplayer has been finished and submitted for certification on the Xbox 360, meaning the fix should be arriving shortly.
There are no details on what the patch will entail but a multiplayer fix has got to be among them. I can suggest a ton of AI fixes, especially in My Player regarding when your manager lifts you if you're a pitcher. Pasta Padre notes the fielder arm strength maybe should be backed down and I concur. I've seen - and benefited from - a lot of bullet throws from a shortstop ranging into shallow left field.
No word on a patch yet for the PS3. I don't know if its players have seen the same troubles with ranked matches - this workaround (not really a workaround, just something that keeps you from being frozen in the matchup screen) published by 2K Sports describes Xbox 360 controls. 2K Sports knows its greatest constituency is on the 360 and will take care of that first, but it'd be poor form to publish no gameplay-refining patch at all for the PS3 base.

Requires aria2c but could just as easily wget or anything else. A great way to build up a nice font collection for Gimp without having to waste a lot of time. :-) Show Sample Output
Just a quick hack to give reasonable filenames to TrueType and OpenType fonts. I'd accumulated a big bunch of bizarrely and inconsistently named font files in my ~/.fonts directory. I wanted to copy some, but not all, of them over to my new machine, but I had no idea what many of them were. This script renames .ttf files based on the name embedded inside the font. It will also work for .otf files, but make sure you change the mv part so it gives them the proper extension. REQUIREMENTS: Bash (for extended pattern globbing), showttf (Debian has it in the fontforge-extras package), GNU grep (for context), and rev (because it's hilarious). BUGS: Well, like I said, this is a quick hack. It grew piece by piece on the command line. I only needed to do this once and spent hardly any time on it, so it's a bit goofy. For example, I find 'rev | cut -f1 | rev' pleasantly amusing --- it seems so clearly wrong, and yet it works to print the last argument. I think flexibility in expressiveness like this is part of the beauty of Unix shell scripting. One-off tasks can be be written quickly, built-up as a person is "thinking aloud" at the command line. That's why Unix is such a huge boost to productivity: it allows each person to think their own way instead of enforcing some "right way". On a tangent: One of the things I wish commandlinefu would show is the command line HISTORY of the person as they developed the script. I think it's that conversation between programmer and computer, as the pipeline is built piece-by-piece, that is the more valuable lesson than any canned script. Show Sample Output

Watertown: Taft School teacher's federal child porn case continued to Feb. 19 in Bridgeport federal court
LITCHFIELD >> A motion has been granted to continue the probable cause hearing for 63-year-old Taft School theater Richard Doyle, who was arrested in early December on federal child pornography charges and later released on a $200,000 bond into the custody of his brother.
The hearing is now set for Feb. 19 at 2 p.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge Holly B. Fitzsimmons in Bridgeport. According to the docket entry, the parties on both sides of the case are in the process of investigating aspects of the case, and it was deemed to be in the best interest of the both defendant and justice to postpone the probable cause hearing.
"The court finds that the ends of justice is served by the granting of the continuance and these factors outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial," according to the docket entry.
Doyle, whose arrest was based on his alleged online sharing of photos of naked young white males with their genitals clearly visible, must not have any access to the Internet or any device that can access the internet, Tom Carson, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office in Connecticut, said in December.
Additionally, Carson said that Doyle's brother was ordered to keep any Internet accessible devices password protected, with passwords that cannot be shared with Doyle. His home confinement has been monitored by the U.S. Probation Office.
On Dec. 4 the New Haven Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) arrested and charged Doyle with a federal criminal complaint for the receipt and distribution and possession of child pornography, according to a release sent by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The complaint alleges that on Oct. 24 and 27, a law enforcement agent logged into a publically available Internet file sharing program and downloaded images of child pornography from shared directories maintained by Doyle, according to a release.
Doyle was arrested at his home in Litchfield. Law enforcement agents also seized computers, thumb drives and related computer components from his home and his job.
According to an affidavit from the U.S. District Court, Connecticut Child Exploitation Task Force Officer Jeffrey Suchy, who is assigned to the New Haven Division of the FBI, signed into a publically available peer-to-peer file sharing program while working in an undercover capacity and was given access by a user later identified as Doyle. The investigator selected 17 images and proceeded to download them, the affidavit said.
The affidavit describes five of the 17 images, and one of common theme is that the photos show white males under the age of 16 or 12 with their genitals exposed.
On Nov. 27, a federal search and seizure warrant was sought and obtained, according to an affidavit. During the execution of the warrant, Doyle admitted to using, for the last two years, the publically available peer-to-peer file sharing program that was the subject of law enforcement's investigation.
"He admitted to downloading child pornography images from other users, as well as offering images for other users to download," according to the affidavit.
Suchy's primary duty is to identify, investigate and assist in the prosecution of the people who violate federal laws involving crimes against children, including violations pertaining to the production, distribution and receipt and possession of child pornography.
Suchy is assigned to the Connecticut Child Exploitation Task Force, a multi-agency unit tasked with investigating various crimes related to the sexual exploitation of children including crimes related to the distribution and receipt of child pornography over the Internet.
The charges Doyle faces carry a minimum term of imprisonment of five years, a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years and a fine of up to $250,000. The charge for the possession of child pornography carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000, according to the release.
Doyle's was involved in community theater in the region, and among his activities were projects at the historic Warner Theatre in Torrington. The Warner's executive director, John Bonanni, said Doyle has had periodic association with the theater over at least 10 years.
"He was one of the founding members of the Warner Theatre Stage Company, that is the community theater unit of the Warner Theatre," said Bonanni.
Doyle's principal association came in the form of a director or scenic artist, according to Bonanni.
"The situation really forfeits his presence at the Warner Theatre moving forward," a statement from the Warner said. "At this stage of the game, it's an accusation not a conviction. Our primary concern is to serve the community of Warner Theatre and to maintain a trusting relationship.

"Ok, here is the idea..."
"...These are the tickets to Greece. Once there we go to the beach, any beach...and then, we do the 'CD cover thing', you know, beauty on the front, creative muscle in the middle, and then the percussionist at the very background, looking really absent, like he's so cool he don't need all that".
Anyway, an homage to these nearly extinct CD's. I'm finding it difficult to replace my old (and finally broken down) CD player these days. Not so long ago the choices when it came to this were practically endless, now you are lucky if you find two different models on a sorry shelve at the very en of the store... (no somos nadie, indeed).

Venice (+Update)
In these days when following the daily news is upsetting and dramatic, and while just hoping all the best for this planet of ours and all species on it, here come two sketches. One of them after one of my visits to Venice, Italy, a number of years ago.
I hope everyone is fine.
UPDATE: I have just seen online the 'give2asia blog', in which anyone can make a donation that will go a very long way. Please take a moment to visit the site.

Pub Life
'Hanging around the pub in the afternoon'. Inspired by the Agatha Christie novels I used to read (one after the other) when I discovered them through a friend in my early high school days. By the way, if you haven't seen all the cover art Tom Adams did for them along the 60's and 70's you should take a look. They were oneiric images based on actual elements that appeared in (or somehow were related to) the story. Enough to insinuate what was going on but never giving you enough so that you would have an actual idea of how all those elements would relate within the story.
Good rest of the weekend everyone.

"No place like home"
Here is an image that came to my head this morning thinking of my home town. It is not a particular street, alley or corner, but it certainly feels like it could be any one of them in what is called 'casc antic', or 'old town'.
Most buildings there are from the 1700's 1800's, and were mostly inspired and designed by italian architects of the time. In fact, walking around these streets one can see the resemblance with certain secluded areas of cities like Venice.

Best hybrids for the money
Gas prices remain high as we approach the summer driving season. That adds even more relevance to our annual look at how much money today's hybrids actually save buyers versus gas-only cars.
While high mileage figures may seem like they'd impact your family's budget in a positive way, you also have to look into the efficient car's sticker price to know if making the switch would be a wise decision.
To determine if the added cost is worthwhile, we devised an efficiency-cost rating to reflect efficiency bang for your overall buck.
It's simply the combined city/highway mpg divided by the base MSRP. We then multiply that number by 1,000. This formula can be applied to any vehicle type, hybrid or not. A high mpg rating and low price provide a high efficiency-cost rating.
We don't account for equipment levels, quality judgments, cost of ownership or any variances from EPA mileage estimates. The goal here is to pay the least for the most mileage, barring other considerations.
While we break down the picks by segment below, one new player stands well above the rest in terms of bang for the buck. Toyota's new subcompact Prius c returned a score of 2.64, the highest in the five years Cars.com has ranked these vehicles. It returns the same combined mileage as the traditional Prius liftback model while costing thousands less, thanks to its smaller footprint.
Subcompact Cars
2012 Toyota Prius c
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 53/46 — 50
Efficiency-cost rating: 2.64
After the success of the original Prius and considering all the forms that hybrids have taken since its introduction (including everything from trucks to luxury cars), many have wondered why a hybrid hadn't yet arrived in a smaller package. Well, technology caught up to that premise with the new Prius c subcompact, proving it was a smart question to ask. The base model at this price comes well-equipped, but we'd expect most shoppers to opt for the $19,900 Prius c Two. Even at that higher price, its 2.51 rating would top the hybrid field.
Compact Cars
2012 Honda Insight
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 41/44 — 42
Efficiency-cost rating: 2.29
It may not be our favorite hybrid to drive, but the numbers don't lie: The Insight is the best bang for your buck in this price class. It also beats its stablemate, the Honda Civic Hybrid, and its 1.83 score.
Midsize Cars
2012 Toyota Prius
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 51/48 — 50
Efficiency-cost rating: 2.08
The Prius packs a surprising amount of interior volume for its thrifty fuel numbers. But that added size adds to the price, pushing it beyond the smaller Insight and smallest Prius c. Even though the Prius seems pedestrian these days, its third-best efficiency-cost rating is hard to ignore.
2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 43/39 — 41
Efficiency-cost rating: 1.58
Getting the size and ride comfort of a traditional family sedan with a hybrid powertrain has meant a big drop in the efficiency-cost rating. The redesigned Camry Hybrid offers best-in class mileage at a reasonable price, besting the Kia Optima Hybrid at 1.44. The Kia starts for $200 less than the Camry, but its 37 mpg combined is 4 mpgs lower than the Toyota.
Compact Crossover
2012 Ford Escape Hybrid
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 34/31 — 32
Efficiency-cost rating: 1.05
Ford's all-new 2013 Escape will hit roads later this year, but the automaker has not yet announced a hybrid version. Before you rush out to get one of the last Escape Hybrids on dealer lots, you should take a look at efficient gas-engine options like the 2013 Mazda CX-5, with an efficiency-cost rating of 1.31 with an automatic transmission. The Escape Hybrid is the only hybrid compact crossover, but the aged model illustrates how the technology doesn't always pay off.
Midsize SUV/Crossover
2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 28/28 — 28
Efficiency-cost rating: 0.73
The Highlander Hybrid remains the only option in its segment with a hybrid powertrain. This default winner mirrors last year's pick. While the Highlander Hybrid's mileage remains the same, the cost has gone up, dragging down its efficiency-cost rating of 0.75 in 2011. But the Highlander Hybrid still defeats even the most basic Honda Pilot with all-wheel drive, which returns a rating of 0.68.
Full-Size SUV/Crossover
2012 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 20/23 — 21
Efficiency-cost rating: 0.40
Let's face it — there aren't many reasons for green-conscious folks to pick the Tahoe Hybrid over a Highlander Hybrid unless they need the capabilities a full-size SUV brings: interior space and towing capability. The Tahoe Hybrid can tow up to 6,200 pounds with rear-wheel drive, so for those who take their boats to pristine lands, this is the greenest option.
Pickup Truck
2012 Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 20/23 — 21
Efficiency-cost rating: 0.53
While the Tahoe Hybrid might offer a hard-to-find combination of capability and efficiency, the Silverado is less unique. It remains the only hybrid pickup truck on the market, but Ford's new EcoBoost F-150 returns combined mileage of 18 mpg at a base sticker far below the Chevy's price to return a rating of 0.70. The Ford also out-tows the Silverado Hybrid by some 5,000 pounds. Truck buyers may focus on that number more than the EPA's fuel-economy numbers on the sticker.
Luxury SUV
2012 Lexus RX 450h
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 32/28 — 30
Efficiency-cost rating: 0.66
If you want a hybrid and a lush SUV, there are a few choices that serve that dual purpose well, but the Lexus RX 450h's efficiency-cost rating outperforms the rest. Even with all-wheel drive, the RX 450h at 0.66 outdoes the Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid at 0.34 and Porsche Cayenne Hybrid at 0.30, both of which come standard with all-wheel drive … along with $60,000-plus price tags.
Luxury Car
2012 Infiniti M35h
Gas mileage (city/highway — combined mpg): 27/32 — 29
Efficiency-cost rating: 0.54
Like the Lexus RX, the Infiniti M35h surpasses a crowded field of large luxury sedans in terms of efficiency-cost. That's mainly due to the competitors' extreme prices – all start over $90,000. But the Mercedes-Benz S400 (0.23), Porsche Panamera S Hybrid (0.26), BMW ActiveHybrid 750 (0.21) and Lexus LS 600h (0.18) fall far behind in combined mileage, as well.

Recently we showed you a bunch of beauties on Instagram. Then, of course, Facebook bought the photo service for $1 billion. Coincidence? French dude Julien GLT had the ingenious idea of plucking pics of sweater puppies from Instagram to create Boobstagram.
Why? Well, according to the site's "Why?" section, it's to increase awareness of breast cancer. That would explain the site's tagline, "Show her breasts on the web is good, show them to [her] doctor is better".
As much as women get pissed at guys for staring at their knockers, we're just trying to figure out if they have cancer. And, if they do, we know how to rid them of that cancer. Right, Reginald?

-tell when it hits the surface from the job and drive out of a capsule
-attach a camera to a servo for a panoramic to take a picture of the capsule
You want to take a picture of the capsule from the capsule?
Me and a group of friends are building a rover for a school project. What I am confused about is what specific parts I would need to complete it. We want it to:
-pick a path away from the capsule (ping sensor)
-2 whell drive
We want this to fit in a 150x100x100 mm box, we can expand it a bit more if we have to. We were thinking of using a Arduino Uno R3 or going smaller and maybe a Arduino mini. Thanks!
Quote from: Prodigy_Snipes on Oct 20, 2012, 11:03 pm-tell when it hits the surface from the job and drive out of a capsuleWell - first you need to know when the capsule is no longer in motion, and you also need to know that the capsule is "upright" (how are you going to ensure this? Even with a parachute, you might not land upright!). Probably a 3-axis accelerometer would be best for this, that way you can measure if you are still in motion, also when you "hit" the surface (a large jolt in acceleration opposite - I believe? - to "down"). You might also want something on the capsule that can tell when surface contact has been made (maybe a simple switch?). Or - if acceleration measurement is too much, look for a "caged ball" sensor to determine "orientation". Using one of those, and some kind of contact sensor switch on the capsule, might be enough to tell you "I am down, and I am upright - open pod bay doors, HAL"...

Poffin are roll-like items that were introduced in Generation IV. Their name is a cross between Pokémon and Muffin, although they don't look much like a muffin. They are used to boost a Pokémon's Contest stats: Beauty, Tough, Cool, Smart, or Cute. Poffin are like PokéBlocks from Generation III. Poffins are made from specific berries. In the Diamond and Pearl series, Dawn makes her own poffins.
Making Poffins[edit | edit source]
Poffins are made from Berries. The flavor of the berry determines the flavor of the Poffin. You are able to make Poffins at the Poffin House in Hearthome City. However, you must obtain the Poffin Case from the Pokémon Fan Club chairman, also in Hearthome City, in order to do so.
Poffin levels can be found with this formula
- B is the base level
- T is the time taken in seconds
- b is the number of burns
- s is the number of spills
Likes or dislikes[edit | edit source]
Depending on a Pokémon's nature, they might prefer Sour poffins, Sweet Poffins, etc. These are the second coming of PokéBlocks from R/S/E.
Beware if it overflows or burns because it will worsen the poffin's flavor and the Pokémon may dislike it, unless if it eats anything happily. The faster you finish the poffin, the bigger the flavor of the poffin and it might even become a Mild Poffin. To get a free one, talk to a Rich Guy in Hearthrome City in the front of the counter and he will give you a Mild Poffin and steps aside and lets you enter a contest. You don't have to always enter the contest although.
In Anime[edit | edit source]
Dawn often makes them for her pokemon. Like Munchlax with PokeBlock Dawn's Mamoswine loves to eat Poffins.

Company owner Joachim Fuhrländer, Brazilian energy minister Edison Lobao, the governor of the state of Ceara, Cid Ferreira Gomes, president of state-owned energy company Eletrobrás Jose Costa, and head of network operator Furnas, Flavio Decat took part in the foundation stone laying ceremony.
Within the next five years, the factory is expected to produce 148, 2.5MW turbines with a total value of €450 milion, Fuhrländer said.
Brazil's requirement for part-assembly of modern turbines for wind projects built in Brazil was one of the reasons for building the factory there.
Fuhrländer said: "Our cooperation partners are the state owned Electrobras, Brazil's largest network operator, Furnas, and the renowned bank Banco Minas Gerais. With these partners, Fuhrländer also secures its hospital and computer school projects."
The project could improve the companies fortunes. Only last March 2012 (9th March 2012) it announced plans for a 10% reduction of the 700 jobs world-wide "as a reaction to the international [financial] crisis".

Does Coffee Stunt Your Growth?
I love coffee but people tell me that it stunts your growth. Is that true?
– Tara*
No, coffee doesn't stunt your growth. But coffee does contain caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system. For most people, a cup or two of coffee a day doesn't do any harm. But if you're drinking more — especially if you are getting caffeine from other sources, like soda or energy drinks — you may want to cut back. That's because high doses of caffeine can cause anxiety and dizziness, and may interfere with normal sleep.
If you decide to cut back or stop drinking coffee, do so gradually. Stopping suddenly can cause unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, irritability, and fatigue.
It's best to ask your doctor if you should stop or cut back on drinking coffee. Caffeine can cause problems for people who have heart problems or are taking certain medications. It may also trigger migraine headaches.
