Well Good morning.
I figure this drop today is just a small retrace of yesterday's run.
On a side note, I was in Chattanooga twice yesterday. I drove from Trenton Florida to Nashville and back in 21 hours flat.
Bought JNUG @ $27.15
When is the next.......
Hearing, conference, filing deadline?
Notice that our current unisex basher
Does not respond to anything or engage in conversation or document anything she posts. All she/he does is post talking points in all caps over and over.
Who would'a thunk????
Not bad Newly. I am proud of you for finding it.

I would much rather see the
PPS calculated to the value when the Swipe started and used to buy back the warrants out of the swipe.
Or simply wipe out the warrants as penalty for their illegal behavior and claw back all the excess over the loans.
Or better yet credit the $40 BB per month that FNMA had to buy from the TBTF banks against the amount forwarded by the treasury. After all, that is the primary reason the conservatorship was started in the first place. So the GOV had somewhere to park the trash assets while they were saving their biggest contributors.....er...ah....banks.
Have you run PCPitstop?
I think we are missing the point here
The judge ruled that discovery will go on in full. All they are arguing over is what documents found in discovery can be released to the public.
Everything is still on the table. All documents will be revealed to the plaintiffs. All documents can and will be used in the court to decide the issues.
Reading the protective order, it clearly shows a procedure for handling of protected documents by the plaintiffs lawyers.

Was 5K volume @ $4.09 a few minutes ago.
Zab. Please don't ramble so much.
Putting together a buncha unrelated news that you don't agree with and deciding that I am opposed to all of your viewpoints is called using the strawman argument.
Not to mention that that rambling post defies logic and shows evidence of a clinical problem.
Are you off your meds today?
C'mon ZAB
Would you stay in your house if your neighbor and a buncha military types with guns was setting up an anti-aircraft gun in your driveway?
Would you put a for sale sign out? Or would you run like _ell?
But I could be wrong, the rule of law is only obeyed when you agree with it, otherwise you call yourself a Tea Party type republican and say your rights are being infringed upon.
Really? I thought Freedom Of Speech and voting in elections were rights of citizenship in this country. Are you advocating those rights be taken away from anybody who is not a Democrat?
Exactly what laws are Tea Party members violating?
Unlike the current administration which just chooses not to enforce or unilaterally modifies laws he doesn't like and floods the borders with illegal immigrants.
Do you think O'bummer is going to give these illegal immigrants a modified right to vote? You know the right to vote with a Democrat ballot only.
Sorry Zab
But there comes a time in war when the civilians have to make a choice. If a long range rocket is being setup behind your house, you better move away now.
Wars are fought on and on and on until the civilians are brought into the battles.
Dresden??
Hiroshima??
Nagasaki??
The will of the people erodes when they are forced into the conflict and with that erosion, erodes also the support for the fighters.
The war in the Middle East will never end until a lot of civilians get killed. Today's 10 yr old child is 4 years from now a fighter.
There is a reason ISIS is leaving behind a trail of beheaded and murdered civilians in Iraq. It is what they understand.
I agree

Kinda explains the Record 103 yr cold going on there right now.
It's All About Me!!!!
Not counting instances when he quoted a letter from a citizen or cited dialogue from a movie, President Barack Obama used the first person singular--including the pronouns "I" and "me" and the adjective "my"--199 times in a speech he delivered Thursday vowing to use unilateral executive action to achieve his policy goals that Congress would not enact through the normal, constitutional legislative process.
In President Obama’s speech, he used a first person singular, on average, every 12 seconds. At that rate, had Obama spoken for just 15 more minutes, he would have used the first person singular more than 272 times in one speech—exceeding all the words in the Gettysburg Address.

"So on one day, at one particular spot in Antarctica it did record the coldest temperature."
Actually, it says that the entire month of June was 11.9 deg F colder than "normal".
Add to that the 103 yr record cold in Brisbane and you got yourself a cold winter going on down there. Kinda like the thousands of cold records last year in the northern hemisphere.

Oh please!
Change the subject when you are losing.
Reading the details, that "74% of Republicans now love Obamacare"
Becomes 74% of self described conservatives are pleased with their coverage"
Gee. Since the whole basis for insurance is that 80% of the payers never use it and the money covers the other 20% that would mean that the people who don't use it are not unhappy and the people who do are not happy.
But then, I thought we were talking about sinking islands?
And that article was written by another teenager
Who literally believes anyone who doesn't agree with him is mentally challenged.
What a hoot!
Link for that statement please
I just spent over an hour on the internet searching for any documentation of that statement and can't find anyone other than you making that claim.
I also just had a conversation a couple days ago with a couple 20 somethings at work who profess that the earth feels warmer than when they were kids.
When I asked them how they were able to detect the less than 1/10th of a degree average rise during their entire lifetime, their response was that I didn't know what I was talking about.
When I mentioned that during my life time of three times their age, the northern edge of commercial orange groves moved south from Ocala to below Orlando, they accused me of lying.
What the _ell are you folks teaching the kids nowdays?
Gee
I have to ask: How long have humans been responsible for the sea level rise of 1 meter per century?
Global sea level rose by a total of more than 120 metres (393.701 feet) as the vast ice sheets of the last Ice Age melted back. This melt-back lasted from about 19,000 to about 6,000 years ago, meaning that the average rate of sea-level rise was roughly 1 metre per century.
All of those "Sinking Islands" links you posted complain of a 17 cm rise in sea levels or about 6 inches during the 20th century.
And how does the 17 cm or roughly 6 inches in the 20th century become a human rights violation against the people of those sinking islands?
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/12/01/sea-level-rise-jumpy-after-last-ice-age/
OMG!!
From the IPCC third report
Buried in the report is this section wherein they describe how they have no idea why CO2 is not going to have an affect but that it won't.
Who you gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?
http://www.grida.no/publications/other/ipcc_tar/?src=/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/222.htm
If, If, Might, Could, Possible.
Recent research has indicated that warming from carbon emitted today is essentially irreversible and will persist for hundreds or thousands of years, thus pushing the unstoppable sea level rise.
But then real data from real observations shows something very different.
More Ice at both poles. Thousands of Record colder temperature observations in both the northern and southern hemisphere showing a 17 year drop in temperatures.
If we believed the alarmists 20 years ago, (make that: if the alarmist were correct) there would be no ice left on the planet at all by now.
The predictions never happen. The alarmists continue to post their trash claiming that the warming and sea level rises are already here when they only exist in the models and not in real life.
Geeky computer modeling vs the real world.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Garbage in. Garbage out.
OIL companies???
What, exactly does the oil industry have to do with this discussion.
"That number can't possibly be true" isn't a valid argument.
As is "anyone who doesn't agree with warmist hype is paid by the oil industry" not a valid argument either.
Since you chose to use alarmist talking points when faced with something you don't understand, you should re-read this article: http://notrickszone.com/2012/08/07/epic-warmist-fail-modtran-doubling-co2-will-do-nothing-to-increase-long-wave-radiation-from-sky/
Read the comments too. Get into the scientific arguments by the scientists who actually tried to refute the data and then admitted it is true.
The point is
Exactly what the headline says.
BRISBANE HITS THE COLDEST TEMPERATURE IN 103 YEARS
And it looks like it will stay that cold for the next few days.
Why Modtran Is Important
It is not an experiment for matriculation or for political argument.
It is a real program used in the real world for real world purposes.
If it didn't work in the real world, infra red heat seeking missiles would not find their targets.
http://notrickszone.com/2012/08/07/epic-warmist-fail-modtran-doubling-co2-will-do-nothing-to-increase-long-wave-radiation-from-sky/
Modtran program
The MODTRAN programme is described on a previous page. Here are some calculations which put the suggested effect of doubling the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration into perspective
This is a plot of some MODTRAN results for the temperature of the atmosphere in which the CO2 concentration varies from zero to 1000 ppmv. The intention is to show the logarithmic nature of the relationship between CO2 and surface temperature, i.e., the temperature rises non-linearly with every successive addition of CO2 causing smaller effects.
One method of estimating the contribution made by the presence of CO2 to the total 34·5°C of global warming is by the use of the MODTRAN programme and database, which contains all the spectral information about greenhouse gases and allows the calculation of fluxes at any altitude, looking downwards to the surface or upwards towards space.
Keeping everything constant except for the CO2 concentration and considering the transfer of energy across the troposphere at an altitude of 15 km, the results of Modtran calculations are shown in the graph. For each point the temperature was reduced until radiative balance was re-established.
The widely prophesied doubling in CO2 concentration from the pre-industrial value of 285 ppmv to 570 ppmv would be associated with an increase of just 1·5°C.
As ever, these figures are to be considered with caution since they represent the instantaneous effects of CO2 changes. They do not include the ameliorating effects of clouds, nor do they include the eventual global consequences of the instantaneous changes.
http://www.barrettbellamyclimate.com/page28.htm
The effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas becomes ever more marginal with greater concentration
The political target of limiting the effect of Man-made global warming to only +2°C can never be attained.
Guest essay by Ed Hoskins
According to well understood physical parameters, the effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas diminishes logarithmically with increasing concentration and from the current level of ~390 ppmv, (parts per million by volume). Accordingly only ~5% of the effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas remains beyond the current level.
This inconvenient fact is well understood in the climate science community. It can be accurately modeled using the Modtran program maintained and supported at the University of Chicago.
The logarithmic diminution of the effect of CO2 is probably the reason why there was no runaway greenhouse warming from CO2 in earlier eons when CO2 levels were known to be at levels of several thousands ppmv.
Remarkably, IPCC Published reports , (TAR3), do actually acknowledge that the effective temperature increase caused by growing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere radically diminishes with increasing concentrations. This information is in their report. It is well disguised for any lay reader, (Chapter 6. Radiative Forcing of Climate Change: section 6.3.4 Total Well-Mixed Greenhouse Gas Forcing Estimate).
The diminishing percentage effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas as acknowledged by the IPCC and its concomitant diminishing temperature effect are as follows:
increment cumulative
0-100 ppmv: according to David Archibald / Modtran data ~2.22°C ~2.22°C
100-200 ppmv: plants die below this level of CO2 +~0.29°C ~2.51°C
200-300 ppmv: noted as the preindustrial CO2 level +~0.14°C ~2.65°C
300-400 ppmv: current level IPCC attributes all as Man-made +~0.06°C ~2.71°C
400-600 ppmv: business as usual till 2100 +~0.08°C ~2.79°C
600-1000 ppmv: improving levels for plant growth +~0.06°C ~2.90°C
Accounting for the diminution effect the actual temperature reductions achievable, the calculated achievable values are in the range of few hundredths to a few thousandths of a degree Centigrade. As the margin of error for temperature measurements is about 1.0°C, these miniscule levels the temperature effects for all the efforts of those nations attempting to control their CO2 emissions, (only about 12% of world CO2 emissions), are marginal, immeasurable and thus irrelevant.
These minute temperature changes have to be seen in the context of normal daily temperature variations at any a single location of 10°C to 20°C. It can be as much as 40°C to 50°C over the course of a whole year.
Although the IPCC tacitly acknowledges that this crucial diminution effect with increasing concentrations effect exists, it certainly does not go out of its way to emphasise it. Like the Medieval Warm Period, that they attempted to eliminate with the Hockey Stick graph in 2001, the panel knows that wide public knowledge of the diminution effect with increasing CO2 concentration would be utterly detrimental to their primary message.
“Man-made CO2 emissions are the cause of climate change”.
The IPCC certainly does not explain these devastating consequences for the CAGW theory in their Summary for Policy Makers. This is because the IPCC is an essentially political organisation, that is solely tasked with the promotion and presentation of Man-made Climate Change from CO2 emissions, as an accepted and non-contentious fact for world’s politicians.
Thus the IPCC is entirely misleading in its central claim for Policy Makers, as they say:
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal. Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.”
Any unquestioning, policy making reader is lead to assume that all increasing CO2 concentrations are progressively more harmful because of their escalating Greenhouse impact. But the opposite is so.
From the present concentration of atmospheric CO2 at approaching 400 ppmv, only ~5% of the effectiveness of CO2 as a Greenhouse Gas remains.
This can only give rise to a maximum of a further of ~+0.21°C. Thereafter beyond 1000+ ppmv the effect of increasing levels of CO2 can only ever be absolutely minimal even if CO2 concentrations were to increase indefinitely.
It is for this irrefutable physical fact that the widely held alarmist policy ambition
“to constrain Man-made temperature increase to only +2.0 °C”
could in fact never be reached, however much more Man-made CO2 was emitted.
It is impossible to ever reach the much vaunted policy upper limit of +2.0 °C that has been promoted by politicians as a target upper limit of temperature effect caused by man-made CO2 emissions.
Brisbane hits coldest temperature in 103 years
If you are lucky enough to be reading this from the comfort of your blankets, it might be best to stay there, as Brisbane has hit its coldest temperatures in 103 years.
Not since July 28 1911 has Brisbane felt this cold, getting down to a brisk 2.6C at 6.41am.
At 7am, it inched up to 3.3C.
Matt Bass, meteorologist from BOM, said the region was well below our average temperatures.
“If it felt cold, that’s because it was, breaking that record is pretty phenomenal for Brisbane,” Bass said.
“The average for this time of year is 12C, so Brisbane was about 9C below average, it is pretty impressive really, to have the coldest morning in 103 years is a big record.”
The coldest place across the state was Oakey which got down to -6.1C, which was the coldest temperature for the town since 2011.
FREEZING: Records tumble with the temperature
BRRRR: Cold snap hits south of state
Brisbane wasn’t the only town hitting landmark temperatures with Clermont breaking its coldest record two days in a row.
“Clermont in the coal fields got down to -4.5 which is a new record for them, their previous record was -3.7, which was set yesterday, so they’ve re-broken their record two days in a row.”
All these cold temperatures are being brought on as cold air moves up from the south, combined with clear nights.
“We are seeing a series of cold fronts push really cold air across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, which has brought low level snow.
“Which is good for the ski fields down there, but once all that air moves up towards Queensland it is still very cold and it loses all that moisture that drops all over Victoria and those other areas.
“By the time it comes up here it is cold and dry and on clear nights like last night that cold dry air chills off really easily.”
The temperature gauge is starting to slowly rise in Brisbane sitting at a cool 3.6c shortly before 8am, with a top of 22c expected for today, although don’t get too excited as the cold temperatures are expected again tomorrow.
“There will be another cold morning tomorrow, probably not as cold as this morning but it will still be very frosty across the Darling Downs and the interior and very cold along much of the coastal strip as well.
“It will be maybe a degree or two warmer than this morning and then Monday will be slightly warmer.
“By Tuesday and Wednesday we will have a bit of cloud around, we are looking at temperatures back towards the average of around 11C.”
Other chilly areas were;
Warwick -5.9
Kingaroy -5.7
Applethorpe -5.4
Dalby -5.0
Clermont -4.5
Miles -4.3
Roma -4.3
Beaudesert -3.8
Ipswich/Amberley -2.5
Gympie -1.5
Charleville -1.5
Coolangatta 1.0 – coldest morning since July 2011
Sunshine Coast 2.0
Meanwhile, the cold snap is predicted to send vegetable prices soaring up to three times normal prices.
The combination of an unusually late start to winter plus a sudden plummet to near-record lows has confused the growing cycles of just about every plant.
Queensland horticulture organisation Growcom chief advocate Rachel Mackenzie said the last fortnight’s weather has caused a significant reduction in availability of some fruits and vegetables.
“The first cold snap can be expected to affect production until the produce adapts to the cold and begins growing normally again,” said Ms Mackenzie.
“Yes, prices will go up in the short term, however from a very low base.
“In May and June the temperature was 5C to 6C above average. Consequently there was a flush of vegetables causing an oversupply which was disastrous for growers in terms of returns.
“Prices were very low and growers were not covering the cost of production at this time.
“The price rises are normal for this time of year and reflect the work of Mother Nature and the usual supply and demand issues experienced in the horticulture industry.
“Growers are price takers – produce prices are largely determined by the market rather than being set by producers.”
Broccoli, cucumbers, cauliflower, snow peas and lettuce are among the varieties tipped to be more pricey.
Commercial buyer for Clayfield Fresh Markets Mick Crouch, said broccoli typically sells for $3-$4 per kilogram at this time of year, but has already hit $10 per kilogram in some stores.
“When the cold snap hits, supply slows down and prices go up. The temperature either kills or freezes the crops and they don’t get enough heat to grow,” he said.
“We’ll start to see broccoli, snow peas, lettuce and cauliflower struggle next week. Cauliflowers will be at least $6 each, and corn will go up to $2 a cob – 50¢ is normal for this time of year, so it’s a 300 per cent increase.”
Food Connect founder Robert Pekin said growers in southeast Queensland were feeling the chill.
“Queensland is a big market for cucumber and zucchini, and things have basically halted in the paddock and even greenhouses,” he said.
“We have a cucumber farmer who said his crops have stayed at 1.5 inches long for the last three weeks.”
But the news isn’t all bad.
“The citrus farmers are loving it – it really sweetens up the blood oranges, and heirloom varieties of carrots and parsnips are doing really well, too,” he said.

Coldest Antarctic June Ever Recorded
Posted on July 12, 2014 by Anthony Watts
Story submitted by Eric Worrall
Antarctica continues to defy the global warming script, with a report from Meteo France, that June this year was the coldest Antarctic June ever recorded, at the French Antarctic Dumont d’Urville Station.
According to the press release, during June this year, the average temperature was -22.4c (-8.3F), 6.6c (11.9F) lower than normal. This is the coldest June ever recorded at the station, and almost the coldest monthly average ever – only September 1953 was colder, with a recorded average temperature of -23.5c (-10.3F).
June this year also broke the June daily minimum temperature record, with a new record low of -34.9c (-30.8F).
Other unusual features of the June temperature record are an unusual excess of sunlight hours (11.8 hours rather than the normal 7.4 hours), and unusually light wind conditions.
Dumont d’Urville Station has experienced ongoing activity since 1956. According to the Meteo France record, there is no other weather station for 1000km in any direction.

Same old stall tactics
Clue #1: The Govt filed a Defendants Status Report.
The Judge ordered that it be a joint status report.
Clue #2: "The breadth of discovery plaintiffs seek is simply not necessary or appropriate prior to a decision on our motion to dismiss."
This is exactly what the Judge is tired of hearing from the Defendants.
The hearing is gonna be a DOOOOOZZYY!
Please forgive me
But I gotta ask.
Defrag?
The point being that
Just like the Social Security Trust Fund, (IE: Lockbox) Congress will spend that $400 billion as fast as it comes in and the "Reserve" you are talking about won't exist anywhere other than as another liability on the books.
Another problem
That $400 billion will cover the deficit spending of this administration for about 6 months and then it will be gone and they will have to seize FNMA again to keep the Govt solvent.
I was looking for a possible RAM increase
But you are limited to 2 GIGs.
