I was on record stating a belief the Fed would effectively hike by 1/8 point. I had that belief because that is what the Fed Fund Futures implied.

Regardless, I was wrong. If someone is going to prove you wrong it may as well be yourself. 

Here is a table of Effective Fed Funds Rates straight from the New York Fed. I created the table from their downloadable data.
