To be successful in trading, one of your hats has to be a “Contrarian Hat.” When everyone else (the herd) is in a trade and positive it’s going to continue, it’s time for you to look for a trend change. When the movement of an asset (eg – the US Dollar) starts to produce major mainstream news stories, you know a trend change is imminent.
The US Dollar has been all over the media this past week; the trend is all but over.
The herd registers extreme sentiment in one direction near the end of a trend. In other words, extreme mass sentiment of this nature is usually due to “everyone” being fully invested in the current trend. Volume starts to dry up, because there are few others left out there who aren’t already committed (both financially and psychologically). We’re seeing historical off-the-charts extremes.
Daily Sentiment Index (percentage bulls)
Here’s a reading of this week’s sentiment (trade-futures.com), along with the level of bullish sentiment:
Crude Oil: 96%
US Dollar: 8% (in other words, heavily bearish)
The last few days of this week, we’ve seen a negative NYSE advance/decline ratio even as US equities rose to extreme new highs. The FANGs (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google/Alphabet) are the major stocks behind what’s left of this rally—market breadth is very low. Along with the sentiment reading his suggests a turn is imminent.
Also note that the VIX levels have been abnormally high in the final stages of this rally. This non-confirmation is typical of the final stages of a trend. The VIXX has also turned up very recently, also telegraphing a change in trend is likely nearby.
Prepare for a Turn
Let’s look at an update of the US Dollar.
I’ve been maintaining for the last couple of years that once the US Dollar found its low (it’s in a large fourth wave—a corrective wave), that it would mark the top of the US market.
Above is the daily chart of UUP (US Dollar ETF). UUP is representative of the structure of DXY (the US index) and will provide an excellent predictor of the impending top in currency pairs and the US indices.
Last weekend, I wrote here that I was expecting a small yellow wave 4 and then a new low in a wave 5. We now have that pattern in place, but it doesn’t look quite complete yet, although very close. I’m expecting one more smaller degree fourth wave now (up) and a final fifth wave to conclude this trend, culminating in a turn up and leading eventually to a new high above 26.82 for UPP and a similar new high for the US Dollar.
The dotted fibonacci line at about 23.00 could be the final target for a turn.
The movement of the dollar strongly influences the movement of just about everything else, so it’s important to pay attention to what it’s doing on a large scale.
DAX has potentially topped and tracing out an impulsive sequence to the downside. Some USD currency pairs appear to have changed trend, while others are working on a turn. Oil is looking “toppy.” Gold and silver are heading down with USDJPY. The VIX has also foreshadowing trouble on the horizon. Even the VIXX is showing signs of a trend change. We’re almost all set—we just need the trigger for the US indices. The trigger is the turn of the US Dollar.
In summary, everything is at an inflection point, or very close to a turn, but a little more patience is warranted. This is a trend change internationally; the US market is only one of a huge array of big players. The world turns …
Calling a Top
There was a period in August 2016 where the US market looked like it was heading for a top. I never did call a top, however. You can’t call a top until you have a first impulsive wave down to a previous 4th wave, a second wave up to at least 62% of the drop and then a new low after that. We haven’t had that sequence, so I haven’t called a top. You’ll know when I call a top … lol.
Once the SP500 went to a new high in 2016 (just that one index), it was clear we weren’t going to top at that point, and I proclaimed that we were going to continue heading up. It was an immediate call because EW is very clear at certain points. Once one index provides a technical breach of a key level, its buddies will follow.
This wave up from 2009 is a B wave, a corrective wave. It’s not supposed to be possible, based on Prechter’s book, which flies in the face of what Elliott believed. I wrote about this in my blog a few weeks ago. I’m one of the only ones that believes we’re in a corrective B wave, which is notoriously hard to predict, because there are few to no rules. They end after 5 waves, but will appear to be in 3 waves. The subwaves are often all over the place and fibonacci ratios are often not hit (contrary to what happens in impulsive waves).
EW is price cycles; it has an extremely weak timing element.
So, due to the weak timing cycle, you have to follow EW until you see the final fifth of fifth of fifth (these levels due to the fractal nature of the market). So, while Bob Prechter (EW’s iconic promoter) has called a top several times, I won’t until I see the pattern I’ve outlined above. It might be late for some, but it will be a “firm” call.
This weekend, we have the US indices finishing the fifth etc wave. Several major stocks have already topped and are in the midst of tracing out the pattern I described above. DAX has topped unofficially, along with TSLA, and AAPL and others.
However, I won’t “call” a top in the US market until I’ve seen the above pattern, because it’s unsafe to short until that pattern has unfolded.
People say I’ve called a top. I have not. I’ve been saying we’re topping, but I also say topping is a process. The US indices are part of a much larger picture. They are one asset class of a worldwide topping process. I expect the US indices to top this week. The signs are all over the place, but the key is the US Dollar.
The Tesla Train is Leaving the Station
Above is the 2 day chart of Tesla, showing my prediction playing out. The top is not officially in here; we need a new low below ~290.00.
Last week, I suggested we’d head up in a “double-pronged” second wave, which is exactly what we’ve done. We’ve now potentially turned down into a third wave with a target in the 209 area. After hitting that target, we’ll require fourth wave bounce and then a final fifth wave drop to a new low near the 130 area.
There are potential variations to this pattern, but the ultiamate goal for a first wave down should be below 140.00.
Less Expensive iPhones on the Way?
Above is the 2 hour chart of AAPL. Two weeks ago, I predicted a small rise to a final high, which is what happened. It was followed by a turn down.
Now we have what appears to be three waves down in place. Note that the third wave as shown is a fibonacci length of 1.618 X the first wave. I’m expecting a fourth wave bounce and then a large 5th wave down to the 148.00 area.
Ending diagonals always revert back to the start of the ending diagonal, which is the previous 4th wave area (~148.00).
On Deck: Facebook
Above is the 4 hour chart of Facebook (one of the FANG stocks). This shows the final pattern I described last weekend, which is an ending diagonal. Ending diagonals gained that name because they form at the end of a trend. You can short a pattern like this when it drops below the lower trendline.
There will be a lot fewer people posting “look at me!” stories in the coming years … somewhat of an understatement, I think. But again, the key to shorting these “whales” is to wait for a complete first and second wave scenario to play out.
Changes to the Free Blog
On Friday of this past week, I removed the ability of “transients” to leave a comment without registering. It also means that the information of commenters won’t show up in the fields at the bottom of the blog … because the fields are no longer there!
After several weeks of exhaustive sleuthing and some fair expense, Bluehost (the hosting service I use for this site) finally admitted that there’s a bug on their server. I’ve had two well-know WordPress development companies go right through my site and both came back with a caching problem diagnosis, and that it was not an issue with the site itself.
However, I have to wait (usually up to 72 hours) for them to hunt it down and fix it. Hopefully, that will end the frustrating issue with posting comments. I don’t actually know that to be the case, but we’ve about run out of options. And these developers I’m working with know WordPress inside out.

The Market This Week
There have been no material changes to my prognosis. We are at the high. I expect this final wave to turn down imminently.
Another frustrating week as the US Dollar tries to find its bottom. As a result, the US indices have inched a little bit higher in yet another extended subwave of the 5th wave. The underlying technical indicators however, don't support an extended rise.
Volume: It's risen slightly. Bullish sentiment is EXTREME.
Summary: The count is full for the US market in general, except for small subwaves that form the balance of a motive set of waves in SPX and some other major US indices. We're watching for a turn, which will change the trend and end the 500 year bull market.

Finding the right pet sitter
A checklist of questions you should be asking to ensure you are getting the right pet sitter
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to finding the right pet sitter to meet the specific needs of you and your pet. Finding a pet sitter to provide the right pet-care services requires an investment of time — time to do phone interviews, conduct in-your-home meetings and thoroughly check references on those you’re considering hiring.
Here is a handy checklist of questions you should be asking to ensure you are getting the right pet sitter for your pets:
• Does the pet sitter (or agency) keep regular office hours? A professional pet sitter should have a schedule of office hours.
• If you left a message inquiring about services, how soon was it returned? All phone calls should be returned within 24 hours
• How much notice does the pet sitter (or agency) need in order to schedule your request for a pet sitter?
• Does the pet sitter (or agency) have established fees for pet care they can quote over the phone and/or in company literature?
• Is the pet sitter insured?
• Does the sitter have a clean criminal history?
• Does the pet sitter meet with you and your pet(s) in advance? Is there a charge for this in-home meeting? Initial interviews allow the pet sitter to meet with you in your home, interact with your pets and discuss services and business policies. These visits are highly recommended for both pet owner and pet sitter.
• How much experience does the pet sitter have in caring for your particular type of pet?• Does the pet sitter willingly and happily provide references?
• Does the pet sitter use a service contract that spells out services performed and fees for doing so?
• How much time does the pet sitter spend in your home to care for your pet(s)?
• Does the pet sitter have a website that you may peruse?
• What contingency plan does the pet sitter have in the event of inclement weather or natural disaster while caring for your pet(s)?
• What does the pet sitter do if medical care is needed for your pet?
• How does the pet sitting agency screen and train their pet sitters?
• How will the pet sitter confirm your safe return home for the care of your pet(s)? Your pet sitter should call to confirm that you have returned home at the expected time or ask that you call to confirm your return.
• Will the pet sitter provide you with an evaluation or rating form of their services? A service rating form, either left at your home or sent by e-mail, is the hallmark of a professional pet sitter who wants to ensure client satisfaction.
• What are the payment terms? Some pet sitters require payment in full for first time customers while others require a deposit upon reservation and balance paid at the end of the assignment. There is no industry standard for payment terms, so be sure you understand in advance the terms of the pet-sitting business you choose to work with.

In early Dec 2010, one of the largest solar plants in Upper Franconia was put into operation, the Zultenberg Solar Park. Solar specialists Eurosol GmbH built the plant in Kasendorf, Bavaria, within just two months, using Sharp Solar photovoltaic panels. The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has tested the plant’s capacity and has arrived at a remarkable conclusion: not only does the plant achieve its nominal capacity of 4,989.6 kilowatt peak (kWp), but it even surpasses expectations. The ISE also emphasized the careful workmanship found in Sharp panels.
Excellent workmanship and optimum capacity
With each panel featuring a nominal power capacity of 220 Wp, the total nominal power capacity for the whole system at Kasendorf adds up to 4,989.6 kWp. When the Fraunhofer ISE carried out an independent control measurement of a representative random sample of 26 modules at their facilities, readings revealed an average output of 226.9 Wp per module, which would equal a total output of 5,146 kWp. During their inspection of the EUROSOL plant, the ISE experts also emphasized the uniform appearance of the solar generator, the careful craftsmanship in solar panels and the robust, mechanical fastening system for the panels.
“We are very proud of this extremely positive, independent quality assessment of our solar modules,” affirms Georg Koch, Manager for Module Sales Central & East Europe at Sharp Solar. “On average, the power generated by the solar park each year is enough to supply around 2,000 households while also eliminating around 3,000 tons of CO2 emissions. That’s another important step forward for environmental protection.”

I don't think the author knew which tense she was using but she suceeded only in boring me with lengthy passages that went nowhere and overstating the blindingly obvious... Enid Blyton writes better than this and well published though she was, and still is, her actual style was shockingly bad... yet this is worse... flesh out your characters with a couple of simple descriptors, give us a back ground... I have no idea what Fiona's flat was like you have bled the colour from your story... this is what I mean...
"Fiona sat poised with her laptop at the kitchen table, the sun glinting through the large window making the china on the dresser sparkle and vying with the brightly painted walls. She sipped delicately from her favourite cup before sketching out the slim facts of her adoptive daughters family tree. "How odd! I really have so little information" she said to Paula "its amazing how little Michael has really said about Louise"
Paula hugged her large mug of coffee "Are you sure you want to go digging? You never know what you'll find" chuckling and with a wicked twinkle "all kinds of skeletons pop out of closets you know!"
Fiona smiled back, two peas in a pod they may not be; the quiet and sensible Fiona versus the vibrant bubbly coffee fuelled Paula, but best friends they were."
See like that!!!

The airlock has enabled the client to provide a controlled environment and preventing atmospheric contamination, the inner door is left open while product is stored by the outer door, only when the inner door is closed can the outer high speed door be opened giving the client access to the storage area.
We recently fitted a new high speed door near Doncaster for a client who has various bases across Yorkshire, The new door enabled them to have convenient access to the factory while also offering protection, security and while providing a controlled ambient temperature during operational hours.
March finished with a flourish of repairs, callouts and servicing. The usual unpredictable joy of our lives carries on, with forklifts being introduced to sectional doors and roller shutters plus a highspeed door deciding the safety features where no longer needed plus others.
Because at C & N we hold specialisms in a variety of door types, we have successfully been able to repair various types of industrial doors, while we offer our own branded doors highspeed doors, we can also service and repair many other makes. This particular highspeed door for one of our Hull based clients, provides essential sound insulation for a busy production area and needed to be back up and running as soon as possible, we were able to ensure the door was open and production could continue as efficiently as possible.
Another very urgent callout we attended was on an insulated roller shutter where the client had informed us that during the nightshift the door somehow had become bagged up and not coming down. When our engineers arrived onsite it was found that the door was bagged up and loose and all the top straps had bee broken, leaving the roller shutter door in a dangerous state. We were able to safely remove the roller shutter door from the hood and made the essential repairs and have it all up and running in the same day for the Hull based client.
A client in Grimsby who’s forklift driver had struck a roller shutter and unfortunately attempted use the door damaging the roller shutter further, we were able to attend site, strip it down and carry out the repair on the same day, ensuring the factory could be secured at the end of the day.
We were called out to Sheffield for an urgent job where belts had snapped on a highspeed door in a very busy food production area, again our engineers were able to get to site make the area safe and ensure the client could keep the area operational and make the repair with minimum downtime for the client. These jobs are in addition to our regular servicing, ensuring our clients roller shutters, sectional doors, highspeed doors etc are all up to specification and work safely and efficiently.
If you are based in the Yorkshire or Lincolnshire areas and need an efficient, professional and thorough service do not hesitate to give C & N Doors Services a call on 01482 666662.
It’s been a busy and varied start to the year for all us at C & N Doors from installing various types of new doors from Steel Door sets, insulated roller shutters, inflatable dock shelters and highspeed doors in locations across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire such as Hull and Driffield. In addition to being the only company able to give a rapid respond to a ram raid in Pontefract, providing the same day turn around, replacing all the panels and relevant hardware for a large sectional door, giving them the much needed piece of mind to be able to fully secure their business by the end of business that day.
The team have recently installed a number of new high speed doors to a client in the food sector with facilities in the Nottingham area. Enabling them to comply with all there DEFRA requirements, while also giving them easy, efficient and controlled access.
This particular set of doors had a number of needs. Firstly and their most basic function, they needed to be high enough to allow easy access to tipper trucks, but also have the facility to have the doors only open partially to allow entrance on foot without opening to their full extent. Additionally they were also interlocked with interior doors giving controlled access and atmospheric control. Plus for more efficient traffic flow and increase productivity, induction loops are fitted to allow the doors to automatically open when approached by a vehicle.
For any industrial door needs, from high speed doors to industrial roller shutters, do not hesitate to get in contact.

PAUL Lee signed a fresh deal with Rain or Shine on Friday, ending weeks of stormy negotiations that nearly drove a wedge between the Elasto Painters and their top player.
Accompanied by controversial agent Lawrence Chongson, Lee signed the new two-year deal million in the presence of Rain or Shine team governor Mamerto Mondragon.
Team owners Terry Que and Raymond Yu were supposed to be present but inclement weather prevented the two from travelling to the office located at the flood-prone Amang Rodriguez avenue in Santolan, Pasig.
Team officials declined to reveal details of the contract, although sources said these are not far off from the original offer of Rain or Shine before Lee became a free agent at the end of August.
The signing put an end to a contract saga that dragged on for months, shortly after Lee left for a month-long trip overseas with Gilas Pilipinas leading up to its stint in the Fiba World Cup in Spain.
Now the former Rookie of the Year will have more stability in the PBA front, a day before he leaves for Incheon, South Korea for Gilas' campaign in the Asian Games.
Before he signed on the dotted line, another source told Spin.ph that Rain or Shine received several feelers from other teams, especially at the height of the word war between the Elasto Painters camp and Lee’s agent.
The same source bared that it was coach Yeng Guiao who paved the way for Lee staying with the team at a time when negotiations between management and Chongson nearly got out of hand.
“Gustong gusto kasi talaga siya ni coach Yeng. Kaya siya na rin mismo ang gumawa ng paraan,” said the source.

2019 BBTR report:
The @bigbear_trailriders event is a Dual Sport bragging rights event no doubt! The whole Big Bears TR club puts on one outstanding event that caters to all levels of riders and if you have the guts to allow them to send you on a journey that will kick 95% of our asses well they will deliver that’s for sure!
-This being my 5th year getting ready for the hard route, the first year turning around, 2nd & 3rd year earning a Hard Route plaque and last year, unfortunately, I had a bad crash a month before the event that messed up my shoulder and fractured rips so I was unable to participate in the ride, but I was definitely attending and cheering everyone on through Gold and 38 Special!
-My strategy going into the event was to ride solo, my reason was due to test myself against myself. I didn’t want to chase a pace of another rider as well as I didn’t want to have another rider slow me down. Call me selfish this year but being my 4th year actually riding the event I felt it was time to have it all on my shoulders to see where I could finish.
-Leading up to the event I wanted to get a current taste of the terrain that I knew we would have during the event so I took the trip to Big Bear twice to pre-run. The long winter definitely made some changes to many of trails so pre running was a good idea. Unfortunately on my 2nd pre-run weekend, 2 weeks before the event I had a very stupid hi speed crash that had me landing on my left arm. I still rode that day and the next, probably 150miles but my arm was sore and bugging me, but I was not going to let that stop me that’s for sure. (I’ll post that footage of the crash in the following week haha).
-Bike prep was pretty simple really, my 2018 KTM 500 excf had 2300 miles on it and it’s pretty well built. I pretty much just went over it checking the common things and all I installed new was a new @DDCracing sprockets and chain plus a set of @MaxxisTires front and rear. The bibs I stayed with was a set I had been running for 1100 miles and still looked and felt good. Everything else on the bike has been the same from when it was built or upgraded.
RIDE DAY AM:
-Early morning to get geared up and be in line by 5:15 am as the first ticket is released at 6 am and I wanted to get out early to Gold and make my way to 38 special before the gridlock on the trail.
-Gold mountain was the usual, sun in your eyes along with tons of dust but I took my time and tried to pick off as many riders as I could before I got to the first steps. The first steps I came up to had a handful of riders stacked up and I heard of a line on the right side of the tree that was pretty quick and as I came to making a decision I seen my buddy @mfrank67 hit that right side tree line so I made chase and cleared it pretty easy. I then came to the second steps and I have done this one a bunch of different ways in the past and I picked the right of the tree again but this time I didn’t hit it fast enough and if I got stopped and when I went to put a left leg down there was nothing under me so I fell over. So bummed I was happy to hear a familiar voice from @mcclellanbob that was not participating in the ride but rode up to be apart of the @WLFenduro crew that was helping riders on the hard sections of Gold Mountian. He helped me up and gave me encouragement and I got back on the bike and made my way up the steps.
Honestly, at this point, I think it’s better for me to do a LIVE stream and go into more details of all the different sections and how it was for me. Maybe tomorrow night… I will post confirmation and it will be great for everyone to join and listen.
-Down Gold Mountain was the last leg of the ride to the checkers and I was beat, had to piss and knew there was a couple of riders not far behind because I had just passed them at the end of John Bull! I seriously almost gave in and pissed my pants because I didn’t want to stop but luckily I didn’t haha… I took it easy so I didn’t make a stupid mistake in the rocks and finally came to the switchbacks that lead to the bottom of Gold. I caught a sight of the canopy that my buddy @criss_66 and @garrryc was in charge of, check pint 7, the checkers! I started rev’ing my bike to get his attention because I knew he was waiting for me and when I came around that last turn….. holy shit there was a whole gang of homies cheering me into the checkers! I was welcomed by high 5’s and tons of smiles, beer… I gave that back and asked for my fav… whiskey and of course @criss_66 had me hooked up instantly with some @bulleit !
-After passing through the checkers I jammed back to the start line to turn in all my Hard Route checkpoint tickets and to get “Logged in” as a returning rider, this list also acts as a numbering system that riders like to also use as a finishing order hahaha. I was the 21st rider to return with all my checkpoint tickets and I crossed the finish line at 6:15 pm.
-Much thanks to all the @bigbear_trailriders club members that have a hand in this event, I look forward to getting my ass kicked each year and damn do you dish one hell of a challenge!
-Thank you to all my homies that pre-ran with me and also the homie’s that were at the finish line to give me an awesome checkers congrats!
If you ride a plated bike and want a challenge then you need to sign up for the 2020 BBTR event!

The email from “Norton Protection” said I owed $999.99, which was “charged successfully and it will appear on your bank statement in 24 to 48 hours.” Although I have an account with a leading cybersecurity company, I’ve never paid that much for its products. To “cancel” the charge, I was instructed to call a number, conveniently highlighted in yellow.
All it took to bird-dog my fake debt email was a simple search-engine query of the invoice’s telephone number. It was based in Hawaii. Unfortunately, perhaps, for the real employees of Norton’s help desk, they are likely not stationed in the Aloha State.
In a nation swimming in real debt – with the average American owing an estimated $90,000 – it’s not surprising that “phantom debts” are one of the hottest scams.
Millions get ensnared in these ruses and unwittingly give up credit and banking information – especially as the hardships of the pandemic continue – which opens the door to mass fleecing. Phony debt cons top the list of most prevalent consumer scams, according to consumerfraudreporting.org. Some four out 10 of all consumer complaints are linked to these swindles, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Given the wide variety of debts Americans accrue, phony debt grifters can work a variety of angles, according to the Federal Trade Commission, which tracks and attempts to police the worst swindles.
Some cyberthieves hound victims for overdue student loans, even though federal college loan borrowers were given a reprieve due to the pandemic. Others focus on unpaid mortgages, car payments or credit card debts. Bogus impersonations are rampant: Some scammers pretend to be from the IRS, law firms and major retailers. Some heartless phantom debt merchants even call people who have recently lost a family member to “collect” a nonexistent bill.
Although 2021 figures aren’t available yet, in 2020 the FTC received more than 53,000 complaints on abusive debt collection, an 8% increase over the previous year. (This figure includes both con artists and especially aggressive efforts to collect actual debts.) The situation could get worse. As AARP notes: “a federal rule change that took effect in November 2021 allows collectors to contact debtors by email, text or social media direct message as well as by phone (previously the only sanctioned method), opening new routes for fake-debt scammers to reach their targets.”
When they get potential victims on the phone, they play hardball by threatening criminal charges and fake fees, but the goal is always the same: To get money and personal financial information. Those who use credit cards to pay their phantom debts can count on their numbers being used for other transactions and their personal information used or sold to other crooks by the scammers. As a rule, they never provide specific details about the debt – after all, it is bogus – and they try to fleece victims in a single call. If you try to call them back, you’ll get a “dummy” call-back number that’s illegitimate.
People over 60 are prime targets because they are more likely to answer their phone and respond to emails that may not look like spam. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) lists as prevalent lines of attack against older Americans “extortion, identity theft and related techniques such as phishing [email initiated fraud], vishing [telephone initiated fraud], smishing [text initiated fraud] and pharming [redirecting people from a legitimate to an illegitimate website].”
In the IC3’s 2020 “Elder Fraud” report, the agency reported that it “received a total of 791,790 complaints with reported losses exceeding $4.1 billion. Based on the information provided in the complaints, approximately 28% of the total fraud losses were sustained by victims over the age of 60 – who comprise less than 20% of the population – resulting in approximately $1 billion in losses to seniors. This represents an increase of approximately $300 million in losses reported in 2020 versus what was reported by victims over 60 in 2019.”
Increasingly, younger victims are being targeted too. “Scammers got good at tailoring audiences they’re trying to reach – on TikTok, Instagram and other social media,” observes John Breyault, vice president of public policy for the National Consumers League. He said their means of getting “paid” have shifted as well, to gift cards and cryptocurrencies. “In the past, it was fraudulent money wire transfers.”
The FTC also reports: “Credit repair scams also frequently target financially distressed consumers who are having credit problems. These operations lure consumers to purchase their services by falsely claiming that they will remove negative information from consumers’ credit reports even if that information is accurate.”
The agency, along with state attorneys general, have filed dozens of lawsuits in recent years shutting down these operations, although the scams keep morphing. Debt scams are becomingly increasingly sophisticated as hackers from around the world sub-specialize in stealing financial information and channeling ill-gotten gains into hard-to-trace cryptocurrencies.
James Lee, chief operating officer of the nonprofit Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego, says finding victims is often as simple as stealing passwords or monitoring social media, where people often publicize what they are buying and selling.
One indirect debt scam targets Google or Facebook Marketplace account holders, notes Lee. Cyberthieves will steal the identity of the legit sellers through username/password theft, then start billing others for goods they will never receive. Often teams of hackers divide up the duties of these kinds of frauds.
“The level of sophistication for these frauds is much higher than in the past,” notes Lee. “Teams divide duties into finding people to exploit, getting access to their accounts, then stealing and distributing the stolen funds. They even have their own help desks.”
Although the number of cyberthieves involved in these scams is unknown, Lee says their ranks are growing since they rarely get caught and their ability to steal ever-higher sums of money is increasing. Fraud operations are also increasingly using alternative payments systems such as Venmo and Cash App, which are not regulated or policed as rigorously as the conventional banking system.
Regulators have known about phantom debt collection scams for several years and have taken numerous enforcement actions. In September 2020, the FTC, along with other state and federal agencies, took several steps to shut down large operations across the country. “Operation Corrupt Collector” performed 50 enforcement actions.
But like so many other instances in the consumer fraud arena, today’s robocallers often move into texting or “phishing” emails or outright identity theft, which is how they steal user names and passwords. There are more channels now to reach more potential victims, so these scams will not likely abate.
“They [thieves] have one-eighth of one-thousandth of a chance of getting arrested,” Lee adds. “Only 20 people have actually been convicted in the last 18 months. Bad guys have more access to information than they’ve ever had before.”
Major consumer protection agencies like the FTC are also hobbled by a Supreme Court ruling last year that restricted their ability to shut down and collect money from scammers. “That ruling took away a tool from the FTC toolbox,” Breyault added. “Fraud is a continuous whack-a-mole problem.”
Fortunately, fake debt collectors are relatively easy to suss out. If they are calling on the phone, they are usually threatening and blatantly refuse to provide detailed information. Online, they have sketchy URLs, identifying information and links when they email you. The more aggressive they are, the more suspicious. The Federal Trade Commission has a set of rules they are supposed to follow under the Fair Debt Collection Act, but the more obnoxious operators consistently use fear to get results. If they are harassing you, they are breaking the law.
Unfortunately, the scammers are also relentless. The same week I received the “Norton Protection” email, I also received an email from “Costco Wholesale” stating I had received a “special reward.” All I had to do was click on a link, which I didn’t do, because I haven’t shopped at Costco in a while and noticed a sketchy URL based in the United Kingdom. Definitely not cricket.

Does this COM boost Cold War’s freeze chance on non-cryo weapons? I was kind of losing hope in creating an Elemental Wilhelm but if someone can confirm this then I’m definitely going to give it another shot.
It depends on how Cold War works. If it’s a flat 25% chance for an enemy to become frozen when using another element, then no it wouldn’t work. But I think it actually works as 25% to cause frozen damage instead, which then has a chance to freeze. If this is the case then it may actually increase the chance for Cold War to proc. Will need to test it to find out I guess.
Anyway, I use an elemental Wilhelm without this Class mod and I love him. Plowing through mobs with a Corrosive weapon (considering how weak Corrosive is) is hugely satisfying.
@Calzones word haha but unfortunately I think you were right the first time about the flat 25% chance to freeze. (read over the skill again) Cold War is still a fantastic mobbing skill though. Are you specced into Venom Bolts or did you skip it?
I specced into that all the way. I think its quite underrated, actually. It makes Corrosive somewhat viable and the Venom Bolt itself is quite strong, giving Wolf a DOT as well as a splash attack (It can hit multiple enemies if they’re grouped together.) This is the build I used at lvl 50, and my main weapon for Corrosive is the Viral Marketer. The class mod, can’t remember the name, gives +5 to Venom Bolts, +4 to Suppression and +4 to Rolling Thunder, as well as a fire rate and magazine size boost. Add the fire rate and ammo regen from Overcharge, (as well as fire rate from Suppression) you fire out a ridiculous amount of rounds with it. With Cold War they freeze quite often because of the amount you’re firing out, giving a boost to crits which are easy to hit with the Marketer. The marketer also bounces bullets into other enemies, giving a chance to freeze them as well. I use omega strike as well as the explosive damage works well when you freeze an enemy. Obviously you want to paint your targets as well.
You’d be surprised at how fast you breeze through enemies with this set-up. I’m even good to take out Bad-asses in UVHM with this set-up, which is surprising. It’s also hugely satisfying.
So hope with the campaign dlc they release more legendary class mods. Preferably one with the 3 I use as well as 2 other in either HK or Dreadnaught trees.
Edit: This is how the tree looks with the class mod I use.

Trump Offers Support to Adams and Cuomo Amid Sexual Misconduct AllegationsNovember 29, 2023
Former President Donald Trump has criticized the Adult Survivors Act, which allowed women to file lawsuits against him, Mayor Adams, and ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo for alleged sexual assaults from decades ago. Trump called the law “totally unfair and unconstitutional” and urged Adams and Cuomo to fight it. Adams was sued just before the deadline by a woman who claims he assaulted her in 1993, while Cuomo was hit with a lawsuit by his former executive assistant for sexual harassment. Trump’s own experience being sued under the law has fueled his opposition to it, despite being found liable for the assault. The law was primarily designed to give a window for child sex abuse victims to sue over alleged attacks they may have suppressed.

Story by staff writers Emily Kulkus and John O'Brien
Syracuse, N.Y. -- A fourth man has told police that former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine sexually abused him as a child, beginning 42 years ago.
Floyd VanHooser, who celebrated his 56th birthday Tuesday behind the walls of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, says Fine began sexually abusing him when VanHooser was 14 years old, in 1969.
The Syracuse man, who is serving 16 years to life for repeatedly burglarizing homes in Central New York, told The Post-Standard Wednesday in an hourlong prison interview that the fired SU coach took him in as an orphan and sexually abused him.
VanHooser’s parents both died before he was 13 years old. VanHooser said he lived with Fine on and off for nearly 40 years.
Tipped off by a social worker, Syracuse police interviewed VanHooser last month in prison, VanHooser said.
Fine first forced VanHooser to masturbate him when VanHooser was a young teenager, VanHooser said. That was before SU hired Fine as a coach. Fine was working as a Syracuse city school district basketball coach.
VanHooser said the sexual contact continued over four decades. VanHooser said he told Syracuse police about three incidents – in 1998, 2001 and 2011 – when Fine pressured him to perform oral sex and later gave VanHooser money.
The latest incident occurred this past summer in Fine’s office near Manley Field House, VanHooser said. VanHooser said he told police that he performed oral sex on Fine in exchange for $300.
Syracuse detectives interviewed VanHooser last month after ESPN broke the story that two former SU ball boys, Bobby Davis and Mike Lang, had accused Fine of molesting them when they were children.
A third man, Zach Tomaselli, told police Nov. 23 that Fine molested him in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room after inviting the then-13-year-old Tomaselli to attend an SU game there.
Fine, who was fired from his job as associate head basketball coach at SU on Nov. 27 after 36 seasons, has not been charged, and has denied all wrongdoing. His lawyer could not be reached for comment on VanHooser's allegations.
Victim No. 4
The SU sex abuse scandal has been front page news across America for four weeks. But VanHooser’s former girlfriend said she’s known about VanHooser’s allegations for much longer. She told The Post-Standard that VanHooser told her about a decade ago that Fine had sexually abused him when VanHooser was a child.
Still, before VanHooser’s name became public in the Fine case, he was publicly attacked. Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick last week referred to a fourth accuser in the Fine case as someone serving a life sentence in prison as a persistent felon, but not did not disclose his name.
Fine’s fourth accuser was not worthy of belief, said Fitzpatrick, whose office has sparred with Syracuse police over the Fine case and is not overseeing the investigation. Fitzpatrick told reporters the fourth accuser had written numerous letters over the years to the DA’s office that “to say it charitably, belie his claims of sexual abuse at the hands of Bernie Fine.”
“There simply is no victim No. 4,” Fitzpatrick said.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office — which is overseeing the Fine investigation — referred to an unidentified source in court papers filed Wednesday. Federal prosecutor Steven Clymer referred to an unnamed source who federal agents relied on last month when they asked a judge for a warrant to search Fine’s home, office, locker and bank safe deposit boxes. Clymer wrote that unsealing the search warrant applications could jeopardize that source’s safety.
VanHooser, who wore a forest green sweatsuit during the interview Wednesday in the visiting room at the maximum security prison, agreed to have his name published in The Post-Standard.
Fine cannot be prosecuted on charges of sexually abusing VanHooser as a child because of the statute of limitations. But his allegations compound the public relations challenges facing Fine and Syracuse University.
On Tuesday, Davis and Lang, who are stepbrothers, filed a defamation suit against SU and head basketball coach Jim Boeheim. Boeheim called the two Central New York men liars Nov. 17 when they publicly accused Fine of molesting them. Last week, Tomaselli sued Fine over allegations the former coach molested him.
VanHooser, who is called David by many of his friends, said he does not have regular access to television or reading materials in prison, located about 250 miles from Syracuse. He said he didn’t know any details about the Fine scandal until the last day or two.
He said he didn’t know what police wanted when they questioned him last month at Elmira Correctional Facility, where he was being held before being moved to Dannemora. He said police told him that his former case worker contacted them and told them they should talk to VanHooser about his relationship with Fine.
VanHooser was indicted this year on eight counts of burglary and petit larceny for breaking into four homes. A judge sentenced VanHooser as a persistent felony offender to 16 years to life on July 29.
VanHooser said police did not offer him special treatment or help to shorten his sentence in exchange for his cooperation on the Fine probe.
Tuesday was one more birthday behind bars for VanHooser, who has been arrested dozens of times for felony crimes. His family says he has spent more time in prison than as a free man. VanHooser said he knows that doesn’t help his credibility. But he swears he’s telling the truth.
Revealing a secret
Cindy Clarke, VanHooser’s former girlfriend and the mother of his youngest child, said VanHooser told her in 2001 or 2002 that Fine had sexually abused him.
Clarke said VanHooser was preparing to go to Fine’s house to do some work when he told Clarke he didn’t really want to go. Clarke asked him why and he became agitated, Clarke said. “He said he didn’t want to go because ‘he’s been making me do things,’” Clarke recounted.
She said VanHooser said that Fine had been making him touch his penis since he was 15 years old and he was sick of it happening.
Clarke said she told VanHooser she didn’t want to hear any more. That was the only time the two discussed the allegation. VanHooser and Clarke split up not long after that.
Clarke said she believes VanHooser was about 15 years old when they met, and he was living with Fine at the time. Fine was a constant figure in VanHooser’s life, according to Clarke. For many years, Clarke believed he was a good friend to VanHooser.
Whenever VanHooser got out of prison, he called Fine and Fine got him back on his feet by having VanHooser work at Fine’s house, Clarke said. When VanHooser got out of prison in 2008, Fine got him a job working at an SU fraternity, she said.
Syracuse police recently interviewed attorney David Stanton, who represented VanHooser in 2000 or 2001, Stanton said. Police asked Stanton if they knew if VanHooser had a relationship with Fine and whether or not Fine had gotten involved in that particular case at all, he said. Stanton told police Fine had called his office “once or twice” to try and help VanHooser by saying he was a “good guy” but said he could not do more for him because of his position at SU.
Davis, the former SU ball boy who first told Syracuse police nine years ago that Fine had molested him, gave The Post-Standard in 2002 the names of more than a dozen males whom he believed had spent a lot of time at Fine’s house as children. One of the names was VanHooser.
Proof of friendship
The public record confirms a connection between VanHooser and Fine. In a 1975 newspaper story about a drug case, VanHooser’s address was listed as Fine’s home at the time, according to newspaper archives.
When the state filed a judgment against VanHooser in 1999 for unpaid taxes, it listed his address as 201 Wilson St., Fine’s home. In a pre-sentence report in 2003 in one of VanHooser’s many criminal cases, VanHooser listed Fine and SU coach Jim Boeheim as his “source of support” because he’d done work for them.
In a 2002 letter to prosecutors before sentencing, a social worker handling VanHooser’s case said VanHooser had felt obligated to do work at Fine’s home as a way to repay money Fine had loaned him.
VanHooser’s lawyer in a 2002 court appearance called him a “die-hard drug addict” who repeatedly broke into homes to support his habit. Since 1986, VanHooser has been sentenced to state prison five times. The last was in October.
Clarke said she could never understand why VanHooser would get out of prison and backslide into drug and alcohol abuse so quickly. Clarke said she now believes VanHooser suffered so many years of sexual abuse he didn’t know what else to do.
“It’s too much for him to deal with,” she said. “That’s what he does to relieve the pain.”
Behind the foreboding walls of one of New York state’s largest maximum security prisons, VanHooser said the abuse affected all aspects of his life. “It definitely made me want to escape reality,” VanHooser said.
Since being sent away to prison again this summer, VanHooser said he has repeatedly written letters to Fine asking for money and for help hiring a defense attorney to fight his most recent sentence.
VanHooser also said he wrote to Fine just last week, explaining what he told police. VanHooser said he has not heard back from Fine and doesn’t expect to. Asked how he feels about Fine, VanHooser only had one word: “Betrayed.”

Cache Creek evacuation order remains in place after flood
23 homes remain under evacuation order after rain and hail flooded the village on Saturday
Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta says he wants to see a report from geotechnical engineers before lifting the evacuation order on nearly two dozen homes in the Interior B.C. village.
Ranta says 23 homes remain under evacuation order and about 40 remain under evacuation alert following last Saturday's flood that swept away yards and swamped homes and businesses.
He says he has not received the report from geotechnical engineers on the stability of local slopes and hills but once he does he can consider lifting the orders.
Ranta says homes that have been damaged beyond repair will remain under evacuation order and will likely be condemned but the owners will be able to claim disaster financial assistance from the B.C. government.
Saturday's storm dropped 26 millimetres of rain in less than an hour on Cache Creek, and the deluge sent water flowing down the streets like rivers..
Premier Christy Clark visited the community located about 80 kilometres west of Kamloops yesterday and called the damage unbelievable.

Minneapolis, Minn. — Sony Electronics and Waste Management Recycle America reported that its two-day, multi-site electronics recycling drive in the Twin Cities collected 4 million pounds of unwanted electronics this past weekend.
More than 42,000 Minnesota residents participated in the recycling drive, making it the largest such event in state history, the companies report.
The two-day recycling drive included five drop-off sites: the Canterbury Park Racetrack in Shakopee, the State Fair Grounds in St. Paul, the National Sports Center in Blaine, Grace Church in Eden Prairie, and the Ecolab Schuman Campus in Eagan. Of the five locations, the State Fair Grounds collected the most material with 1.2 million pounds of electronics for recycling. Participants in the drive received a discount coupon to attend EarthFest, A Party for the Planet, to be held April 19th and 20th at the Minnesota Zoo in Eagan, Minn.
The recent event was part of Sony’s ongoing Take Back Recycling Program and agreement with Waste Management, which Sony announced last year. In addition, Minnesota Best Buy provided financial support for the event, which it views as an extension of its continuous commitment to encourage consumers to recycle electronic waste, the companies said.

Why are the Kapoors not celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi this year?
Ranbir Kapoor and his family, who are known to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in a grand way at RK Studios, will not be welcoming Lord Ganesha this year. Confirming the news, Randhir Kapoor stated that they would be breaking their 70-year-old tradition, as they don't have a property spacious enough like the iconic studio. Notably, Kapoors had sold the studio a few months ago.
RK Studio hi nahi raha to kahan karenge, says Randhir
In an interaction with TOI, Randhir stated that celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi at RK Studios was a tradition started by his father, Raj Kapoor. However, in the current scenario, they can't continue with the tradition. "RK Studio hi nahi raha... to kahan karenge? Now, we don't have a place where we can hold the celebrations the way we did at RK Studios," he added.
Kapoors bid adieu to the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations last year
For years, RK Studios has been staying true to the long-standing tradition of welcoming the elephant-headed Lord. However, the Kapoors bid their final adieu to the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations last year, after they announced to sell RK Studios. But they did ensure that the festival was celebrated with the same grandeur as it was always done, per the decades-old tradition.
RK Studios was home to many legendary films and events
The studio was founded in 1948 along with the RK Films. The studio gained recognition over time with films like Barsaat and Awara, being shot there. Further, Holi and Ganesh Chaturthi were celebrated pompously in the studio with actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, basking in the festivities. Interestingly, the wedding reception of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor was also held at the studio.
The studio was raking in losses for a while
For the uninitiated, the Kapoors decided to sell RK Studios, established by Raj Kapoor, after an inferno caused a lot of damage. Iconic props like his Mera Naam Joker mask, the piano used in Awara and costumes worn by Nargis and Vyjayanthimala turned into ashes. Besides, the studio was raking in losses making it difficult for the family to maintain the same.
RK Studios had become a huge white elephant: Rishi
"Even before the fire, for years RK Studios had become a huge white elephant, toting up losses. The few bookings we would get from films, TV serials and ad shoots would expect free parking space, air-conditioning and discounts," Rishi Kapoor was quoted as saying.
"We had to take the larger picture into account"
It was certainly an emotional decision for the Kapoors, however, Rishi called it a rather practical thing to do. The actor stated that the decision was taken after learning that the studio's renovation would still not bring in enough revenue to keep the establishment running. "Believe me, we had to take the larger picture into account and take a level-headed decision," Rishi said.

Each year the price of post-secondary training rises, therefore seeing exactly how you’ll that is much to pay for in tuition could be a surprise. Plus, you’ve got publications, and supplies to purchase. It surely begins to accumulate. But there is however some great news. The federal government offers numerous full-time and part-time pupils loans through the Canada figuratively speaking Program that you are in financial need if you can show.
What exactly is it?
The us government of Canada provides you with a loan (if you’re eligible). You can’t submit an application for an amount that is specific. They simply provide you with a sum which they determine through amount of facets, such as your household earnings, tuition expenses, etc. The best component about that loan through the federal federal government is until you graduate that you don’t have to pay anything. Absolutely Absolutely Nothing. You simply need to ensure you’ve got a smart spending plan so you don’t invest the whole loan quantity too soon into the school 12 months.
So how exactly does it work with my province?
Making it easier, the us government of Canada and a lot of provincial and territorial governments work together to provide you with funds and loans.
- In Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, brand new Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador the Government of Canada and provincial governments work together to produce Integrated student education loans
- In Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Canada Student Loans and Grants can be obtained alongside provincial cash america employee login or territorial pupil assistance that is financial
- In Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Quebec, Canada Student Loans are not available. They will have their very own education loan programs
- In Yukon, only Canada figuratively speaking and territorial funds can be obtained to permanent residents
wemagine if I require more?
You’ll need certainly to re-apply for lots more cash before each school 12 months. Therefore the amount you can get can vary greatly each time you use. But keep in mind, that all you borrow will need to be repaid. often perhaps you are refused, therefore remember to apply with enough time to locate a alternative way to obtain cash. It’s an idea that is good have task through the school 12 months and summer time break. In the event that you nevertheless don’t have sufficient or you are rejected for the federal government loan, you should think about credit alternatives for pupils, such as for instance a pupil credit line. They’ve low interest and also you pay only interest regarding the quantity you utilize whilst in college.
Whenever do I pay it straight back?
Having federal federal government loan, you won’t need certainly to spend a cent and soon you graduate, or keep college. But, you are going to need to demonstrate that you are signed up for school every semester, to make sure you aren’t likely to begin paying it back. This usually involves bringing an application to your registrars workplace every semester. Then, when you graduate, there clearly was usually a grace amount of a months that are few you will need to create your first re re payment. The attention price on the loan is low and you are clearly offered a long time to repay it.

I’ve decided to investigate controlling the RGB LEDs embedded in aesthetics-based PC accessories. I’m not interested in using them for my PC, but as research for a yet to be determined future electronics project. I wanted something that is a standardized commodity with a large range of variety in the ecosystem and have some usefulness beyond just looking shiny. I settled on 120mm PC cooling fans.
There are many common sizes for cooling fans, but I’ve found 120mm to be the most common for aftermarket cooling. They’re larger than average for CPU cooling, but not too large especially for heat-pipe based cooling towers. But they’re typically installed for general cooling in tower cases, whose cooling vents are cut for 120mm fans. Covering both popular use cases mean more options.
Looking around on my NewEgg, I find that fans sold individually typically have two separate connectors. One for LED and one for fan control. To the rest of the computer, these fans look like two separate peripherals: the LED and the fan. They just happened to coexist in the same device. The fan control connector sometimes just have two wires for +12V and ground. Some have a third tachometer wire for reporting speed, and some have a fourth wire for built-in PWM control. Here’s an example of a CPU cooler the Vetroo V5 whose fan has two connectors: a 4-pin CPU cooler fan control connector and a JRAINBOW RGB LED plug. These should be simple and straightforward to interface.
More challenging are fans that use an intermediate hub. The hub has a connector for power and for JRAINBOW, consolidating those signals into a proprietary connector. I started contemplating this particular Rosewill RGBF-S12001 three-pack of fans which use such a design. I think I can decipher roles of each wire so I could bypass the hub and control each fan directly. This multipack also had a remote control for direct control of the hub without a computer. This is appealing to me, because independent control meant I didn’t need a PC involved as I probed how it worked. If I should make a fatal mistake (say, accidentally short-circuited something) it should only kill the hub or the fan and not an entire computer.
As I scrolled down, though, Newegg showed me several other items under “similar products”. I saw an even more discounted three-pack of fans: the Asiahorse Magic-i 120 V2. Three fans for fourteen bucks, well within my impulse buy range. I’ll buy the pack and see what it does.

Vendors continued to heed companies’ calls for more spam-fighting tools this week, rolling out new enterprise products and services designed to can spam.
Both e-mail security provider MX Logic Inc. and antispam software and service company Brightmail Inc. are unveiling new technologies that they say can significantly reduce the amount of spam flowing into companies’ inboxes.
Denver-based MX Logic said that it is now offering a Bayesian filtering service, which uses a statistical approach to classifying whether a piece of mail is spam, based on the message’s content and properties. Bayesian filtering has received a lot of attention within the industry lately because it purportedly garners a higher rate of accuracy and a lower rate of false positives, mistakenly identifying legitimate e-mail as spam.
In fact, Bayesian filtering was the hot topic at a spam filtering conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in January, where industry pundits speculated that mass distribution of the filters might be able to topple the spam business model by significantly diminishing spammers’ response rates.
Although San Francisco-based Brightmail takes a different tack, identifying spam using “honeypots,” or false e-mail addresses that are designed to attract spam, it says that its new enterprise spam filtering software also boasts a high rate of effectiveness with few false positives.
Brightmail Anti-Spam Enterprise Edition 4.5, which is set to be announced Monday, offers easier deployment, simplified rule retrieval, and availability on Linux as well as Windows and Solaris, according to Brightmail Enterprise Product Manager Mark Bruno.
The filter is 92 per cent effective in catching spam with a false positive rate of one in 1 million, he said.
“We are way ahead of the competition,” Bruno said.
And there seems to be plenty of competition out there. In fact, Felix Lin and Linus Upson, founders of the mobile device software maker AvantGo Inc., are planning to go public with a new antispam software company next week called Qurb.


-- At the end of his opening statement, Saban made special mention of Paul Dietzel, the former LSU coach who died early Tuesday at the age of 89.
"I had a great relationship with him, and I'd just like to pass from the Crimson Tide to his family our thoughts and condolences," said Saban, who coached at LSU from 2000-2004. "And God bless."
Dietzel led LSU to its first national championship in 1958. He also coached at Army and South Carolina before returning to LSU as the program's athletic director in 1978.
-- Saban said Ole Miss' Jeff Scott, who put up big yards in the Rebels' wins at Vanderbilt and Texas, is an "outstanding running back."
"We think he's a fantastic player," Saban said. "He's got great speed, very instinctive, good receiver. Runs the ball extremely well on the perimeter. I think it's very difficult to simulate the speed of their offense and the speed that they have on offense, especially running perimeter plays."
Scott ran for 49 yards and averaged 2.6 per carry in last year's game at Alabama.
-- Ole Miss' wide receivers have been a hot topic this week. Rebels quarterback Bo Wallace said his peace on Monday.
Here's Saban's take on Donte Moncrief and Co.
"I think they have really good receivers," Saban said. "(Moncrief) is a really good receiver, (Laquon Treadwell) is a really good receiver, (Ja-Mes Logan) is a really good receiver.
"They're all big, they're all physical and they're all good blockers. And they can make catches down the field and use their size well."
-- Saban went into more detail about the differences between Ole Miss' and Texas A&M's offenses.
"Ole Miss has a lot of spread formations. Ole Miss has a very, very good running game from that," Saban said. "I think A&M was really more of a zone dive, quarterback run type offense where Ole Miss runs a lot of sweeps, a lot of perimeter plays, a lot of play-action passes off their running game.
"I think the two offenses even though the formations may be similar, the philosophy is not the same. I think what both teams do is particularly effective for the players that they have. I think Ole Miss does a great job with the players that they have and featuring the players that they have in what they do best."-- Saban even fielded a question about freshman walk-on quarterback Luke Del Rio, who worked with quarterback guru George Whitfield during the offseason.
"Luke has really done a good job for us," Saban said. "We're happy with the progress that he's made. He's made a lot of improvement here."
