Company Expects to Reach $10M Revenues in 2013 - Ahead of Projections
A Further Quarterly Increase of 20% as Compared to Q1-2013
Revenues in Q2-2013 Almost Surpass Revenues for All of 2012
NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Energtek Inc. (OTCBB: EGTK), a leader in hi-tech natural gas solutions and Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) technology, announced that Q2-2013 revenues reached $2.565m, an increase of more than 20% as compared with the $2.1m for Q1-2013.

"We are pleased to confirm that for the second quarter in a row we have steadily increasing revenues that put us on the pace of about $10m for the year," said Michael Greenfield, Treasurer of Energtek. "Once more we are showing that our claims are realistic and that we are on the right track."

Tim Mattingly began playing organized football as soon as he was allowed to pad up, which wasn't until middle school for Washington County children in the late '70s.
But after seeing his cousins—Adam and Larry Smith—put on that WCHS Commander uniform, Mattingly was hooked.
"It was in my blood," Mattingly said. "I just had a real passion for it, and I never could get it out of my system."
A Washington County resident died following a single car accident on the Bluegrass Parkway Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m.
Nancy Christerson, 55, of Mackville, passed away on Saturday at Flaget Memorial Hospital due to injuries sustained after striking a guardrail and overturning along the roadway.
According to an accident report provided by the Nelson County Sheriff Department, Christerson was traveling east near the 34-mile marker on the Bluegrass Parkway when the accident occurred.
A Taylor County man has been arrested in connection with a rape that allegedly occurred earlier this year.
According to a news release from the Campbellsville Police Department, Jeffery Watson, 41, of 337 Puryear Road, was arrested and charged with third degree rape following an investigation by the Campbellsville Police Department and the Taylor County Sheriff's Office. The investigation was initiated on Nov. 16, according to the release. The rape allegedly took place in July of this year, according to the release.
Watson was released on a $5,000 bond.
The Springfield Police Department reported working a minor car accident last Thursday on KY-528, as well as four accidents Nov. 25-27. No injuries were noted in any of the accident reports, however, a Nov. 26 incident resulted in an arrest following a hit-and-run at 70 Bardstown Road.
According to the report, Julian Rocha of Springfield was taken into custody after being pulled over and informing an officer that he had no driver's license or insurance and that the tags on the 1993 Ford Aerostar van he was driving were revoked.
When redistricting of legislature at the state level concluded in August, Washington Countians quickly discovered they were in for a change.
Sen. Jimmy Higdon, R-Lebanon, and Rep. Mike Harmon, R-Danville were out as state representatives for the area, and in stepped Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville, and Rep. Kim King, R-Harrodsburg.
A Q&A session with Buford was published in the Nov. 20 issue of The Sun. This week, we get to know King, whose new district will cover Mercer, Washington and part of Jessamine counties.

In Leviticus, an ancient text sacred to Jews and Christians, God reminds his people that the land belongs to him, that they are but sojourners upon it, and that it is their purpose to provide for its redemption.
On Tuesday afternoon, some 70 believers, including nuns from three Catholic communities and representatives of Judaism, Sufism, Buddhism and Native American religion, gathered on a cold, windswept farm near New Haven to join in that redemptive work.

Denver wooden kitchen cabinets may shrink or expand depending on the season. This is normal for any wooden surface during extreme heat or cold. This article will address some care tips, as well as how to keep your investment looking shiny and new:
To Clean:
Wipe with a microfiber cloth and polish with either lemon juice or a wooden polisher. If the surface is greasy, be sure to use a degreaser in a small area first before moving to other parts of the cabinets. One handy solution that can be used is a small drop of your regular dishwashing liquid coupled with water. Be sure to test before using fully, and wash the soapy solution by rinsing the washing cloth, squeezing dry, and then rubbing over each section once more. If the task is too tedious, a cleaning organization can be called in to do the hard work. In addition, it's wise to first empty the area before tackling such hard cleaning jobs.
Cleaning this part of the kitchen is oftentimes neglected but it's necessary if you want to maintain the appearance. The cabinets in Denver homes should furthermore have a durable topping surface to tackle moist conditions, since this is the kitchen. There are popular surfaces such as laminate, granite and other stones that can handle everyday use, cutting, chopping and the preparation of varied types of foods.
These tips can be completed every once in a while. For regular upkeep, simple dusting should do the trick of getting rid of dirt and preventing buildup.

A fashionable, comfortable sandal. Pleased when I saw this style on TSC as I prefer a toe loop to a thong. There are not many toe loop sandal styles and half sizes in the marketplace. I object to being told to buy a larger size when my half size isn't available. A good fit on first wearing -- no need to break in. Considering another pair in a different color.

Terrible shoe, poor quality.
By Shari C
from Calgary, AB
I bought these in turquoise and have worn them only 3 times. The leather on the footbed is peeling and cracking and lifting up in patches. They are comfortable, but I wouldn't wear them in public now that they look so worn out. Shopping Channel would not refund my money either because it was 50 days since my order. Not impressed!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Matt nice style, great shirt
I would use this product as spring/summer. I love the colors and the fit. This shirt would look good with some khakis or shorts and boat shoes. The shirt is tight around the arms, but overall it's a good shirt to have in the wardrobe if your style is more earthen colors, chill, summer flair kind of thing. Its a fun shirt to have especially on a boat, partying with your friends and couple beers in the 4th of July.

Having grown up near a Eucalyptus grove, I am a sucker for anything that smells of Eucalyptus. Add Lavender to that and I am in heaven! So of course, the thought of my clothes smelling wonderful made me buy this detergent. As I was checking out, the clerk commented, "Wow, that's a lot of money for laundry soap! It must be special." I said I heard it was good, and concentrated, but yes, $23.50 is a ton of money for soap. She said, "You don't have to buy it, I can take it off." "No, I'll give it a try..."
Well, sucker that I am, this was a costly mistake! Yes, the detergent smells great in the bottle, but that's the last you smell of it. There is absolutely no remnants of Eucalyptus or Lavender after your clothes are washed. Having said that, my clothes did come clean (although they weren't very dirty to begin with), and there was no need for softener, as they seemed to be free of static, hence the 2 stars.
I am sure I could have found this detergent cheaper elsewhere, but $23.50 for a 100 oz bottle is what my local grocery store charged. So, I will enjoy getting a whiff as I pour it, and count it as a costly lesson learned.
I love it!It works great and I will buying this again.
Nice light scent, and its nicely eradicating the smelly young boy ick; not to mention removing dirt and stains. I did see some tougher stains it missed (that I had even pre-treated) but it wasn't surprising given other detergents perform about the same.
I already make a powder detergent at home with minimal ingredients, so I was excited to see a liquid natural laundry detergent. [The powder can get messy sometimes.] The liquid got out all the usual "kid" stains. The only thing that might turn some people off is the fact that it has no smell. Your clothes come out the laundry smelling like, "clothes" not a garden meadow or rain drops. Also, it works in HE washers.
I received a free sample of Seventh Generation from Smiley360.
So here's the real scoop. I read reviews and watch online videos before I purchase products. I have tried major brands of laundry detergent, and have made my own. I let my clothes get smellier than normal to try this product. When I pulled my clothes out of the wash, I found that odors that had been there for years, that I thought would never leave, were GONE! I was shocked really. My clothes felt lighter, and took less time to dry, no joke! I have sensitive skin, and know that I won't have to even think twice about this irritating it. Also, I have to wear all black to work, and know that I can look forward to have less fuzz glow in the blacklight because it does not contain optical brighteners. All in all, this is the best detergent I have ever tried and will be repurchasing this!:)

Former Giants RB Bradshaw to take physical with Steelers: report
UPDATED 8:12 AM EDT Mar 29, 2013
Ahmad Bradshaw is nearing the next step in his career. The former Giants running back is getting a physical done by Steelers doctors Thursday and if he's cleared Bradshaw will likely be signed by Pittsburgh, according to NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala on Twitter. Bradshaw, who was the Giants' primary running back in 2012, has had a history of medical problems, most notably with his feet. He had surgery on his right foot last month, days before he was cut by the Giants.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE), the preeminent youth research center based at Tufts University's Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service and one of the most frequently cited sources on young voters in the 2012 election, will release the findings of a groundbreaking report by the Commission on Youth Voting and Civic Knowledge entitled, "All Together Now: Collaboration and Innovation for Youth Engagement," at a National Press Club Newsmakers news conference on Wednesday, October 9.

The Commission on Youth Voting and Civic Knowledge is a distinguished group of bipartisan scholars convened by CIRCLE to investigate exclusive data collected during and after the 2012 elections on issues such as civic knowledge, voting behavior and the educational experiences of Americans ages 25 and under – a crucial constituency in electoral politics. The report is based, in part, on data from more than 6,000 young adults and 720 high school civics or government teachers. New findings will be disclosed concerning, for example, the degree of parental pushback when political topics arise in social studies classrooms.
The report addresses a wide range of topics, including the effect of voter ID and similar laws on young voters and whether young voters are a potential solution to partisan gridlock in Washington.
Speakers include Trey Grayson, former KY Secretary of State, Director of the Harvard Institute of Politics, member of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration and member of the Commission on Youth Voting and Civic Knowledge; Amanda Terkel, Senior Political Reporter and Politics Managing Editor of the Huffington Post, and Robert "Biko" Baker, Executive Director of the League of Young Voters. CIRCLE Director Peter Levine and Deputy Director Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg will present an overview of the report.

Homeownership slips in STL area, but still high
Homeownership in the St. Louis area remains among the highest in the nation, despite a recent decline.
Figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau today shows a homeownership rate of just over 70 percent from 2010 through 2012. That's down almost two-percent from the prior three-year period. But the current statistics put St. Louis second behind Minneapolis in the nation's 50 largest metro areas.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the numbers vary widely across the region, with more than 80 percent of homes in Jefferson and St. Charles counties being owner-occupied, compared with less than 45 percent in City of St. Louis.
World markets cautiously await key US data
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Global stock markets were mostly weaker Thursday, with a cautious mood prevailing ahead of key U.S. data that will provide further clues on when the Federal Reserve will cut monetary stimulus.
Major European benchmarks were muted in early trading. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.3 percent to 6,724.16 and France's CAC-40 added 0.1 percent to 4,290.43. Germany's DAX gained 0.1 percent to 9,047.30.
Futures pointed to a weaker open on Wall Street where Twitter will start trading following an initial public offering that valued the social network at $18 billion. S&P 500 and Dow Jones futures were both down 0.1 percent.
Stan Shamu, market strategist for IG in Melbourne, Australia, said investors are staying on the sidelines ahead of the release of the advance estimate of U.S. third quarter economic growth later Thursday and October jobs figures on Friday.
Both reports could signal how much longer the Federal Reserve will continue its bond purchases at the current $85 billion a month rate. That program has held down interest rates, kept bond yields low and made stocks more attractive for investors.
Market expectations are also growing that the European Central Bank and the Bank of England may disappoint and not cut interest rates at policy meetings Thursday to shore up a recovery from recession, he said.
"With two central banks, a U.S. GDP and jobs report all due out, we were always bound to see some nervous trading," Shamu said.
DBS Vickers in Hong Kong said in a market commentary that the ECB is likely to put off a rate cut amid a pick-up in production and confidence, but it may open the door for possible easing in December when it releases its quarterly economic projections,
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 shed 0.8 percent to 14,228.44 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.7 percent at 22,881.03. China's Shanghai Composite fell 0.5 percent to 2,129.40 and Seoul's Kospi dropped 0.5 percent to 2004.04.
Benchmark crude for December delivery was down 17 cents at $94.63 in electronic trading at the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.43 to close at $94.80 a barrel on Wednesday.
The euro rose to $1.3520 from $1.3510 late Wednesday. The dollar was little changed at 98.68 yen.
Fed expected to maintain pace of economic stimulus
WASHINGTON (AP) — Renewed questions about the economy's health and uncertainty surrounding the government's budget fight will likely lead the Federal Reserve on Wednesday to maintain the pace of the stimulus it's supplying to the economy.
That expectation marks a reversal from just six weeks ago, when almost everyone expected the Fed to start trimming its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. The bond buying is intended to keep long-term interest rates low to help the economy rebound from the Great Recession.
The Fed is to announce its decision in a statement after a two-day policy meeting.
The central bank surprised investors and economists at its last meeting in September when it chose not to reduce its bond buying. Since then, a 16-day partial government shutdown shaved an estimated $25 billion from economic growth this quarter. And a batch of tepid economic data pointed to a still-subpar economy.
Now, few think the Fed will reduce its stimulus any time soon. Many analysts now predict the Fed will maintain the pace of its bond purchases into next year.
"I think March is now the earliest that any reduction in bond purchases will happen," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.
By then, Fed members expect to have seen several months of stronger job growth. They also expect Congress to have resolved its budget impasse.
If the Fed does start slowing its stimulus in March, it will have left its policy unchanged not just this week but also at its next meeting in December and at its subsequent meeting in late January.
The January meeting will be the last for Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is stepping down after eight years. President Barack Obama has chosen Vice Chair Janet Yellen to succeed Bernanke.
Assuming that Yellen is confirmed by the Senate, her first meeting as chairman will be in March. Many economists think no major policy changes will occur before a new chairman takes over.
Congress' budget fight has clouded the Fed's timetable. Though the government reopened Oct. 17 and a threatened default on its debt was averted, Congress adopted only temporary fixes. More deadlines and possible economic disruptions lie ahead.
A House-Senate conference committee is working toward a budget accord. But wide differences separate Democrats and Republicans on spending and taxes. Without a deal by Jan. 15, another shutdown is possible. Congress must also raise the government's debt ceiling after Feb. 7. If not, a market-rattling default will remain a threat.
The standoff has led economists to trim their forecasts for economic growth in the October-December quarter. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its index of consumer confidence dropped to 71.2 in October, the lowest level since April. The decline was attributed, in part, to the government shutdown.
Employers added just 148,000 jobs in September, a steep slowdown from August. And temporary layoffs during the shutdown are expected to depress October's job gain.
In June, when Bernanke suggested that the Fed could reduce its bond buying by year's end, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 560 points in two days. Many investors feared that the Fed might remove its support prematurely and derail an already subpar recovery from the recession.
Interest rates rose, too. The increase particularly in mortgage rates, before the Fed had even begun to change policy, alarmed the central bank. Higher mortgage rates could dampen the gains in housing, which has been a rare bright spot for the economy.
Given the panic among investors when Bernanke raised the prospect that the Fed would slow its bond purchases, analysts think any pullback will be very gradual.
"The one thing Janet Yellen will not want to do is start her term by making a mistake," said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif. "She will be extremely cautious and will try to signal that the Fed is starting to back off its bond purchases without causing the kinds of effects we saw in the summer."
This week's meeting is the first since Obama announced Oct. 9 his choice of Yellen to be chairman. David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors and the author of several books on the Fed, said her status could change the dynamics.
"Bernanke is essentially a lame duck, and Yellen has not yet taken over," Jones said. "It will make the Fed more cautious."
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has said he will oppose Yellen's nomination unless the Senate votes on a bill he's sponsoring to subject the Fed's rate decisions to review by the Government Accountability Office.
Yellen is still expected to win Senate confirmation, but a vote by the full Senate may not come until January. The Senate Banking Committee is considering holding a hearing on the nomination Nov. 14.
Once the Fed starts trimming its bond purchases, economists foresee reductions of $10 billion to $20 billion a month as long as the economy improves consistently. Some analysts think the Fed could finish its purchases by the end of 2014.
"But if something goes wrong, then they will stop or at least slow down the reductions," said David Wyss, a former chief economist at Standard & Poor's and now an economics professor at Brown University.
Short federal shutdown won't have big impact in St. Louis, longer one might
The impacts of the federal shutdown on the local St. Louis economy probably won't amount to much -- as long as it doesn't last long.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that economists and business leaders generally agree that a few days of federal worker furloughs and closed federal parks won't have a big impact. But with about 25,000 St. Louis area residents working for the federal government, and many thousands more working for private companies that rely on federal contracts, a long-term shutdown could have greater impact.
Right now, the paper reports that private employers like Boeing and Unisys aren't changing staffing levels, but all say they are monitoring the situation.
McCaskill and Wagner pointing fingers after gov't shutdown
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D) is chiding House Republicans for failing to allow an up-or-down vote on a so-called "clean funding" bill.
McCaskill released a statement as the midnight deadline passed in Washington, saying the government shutdown will upset economic recovery. She criticized House Speaker John Boehner (R), calling his handing of the budget process "irresponsible political posturing."
The St. Louis County Democrat says the federal government shutdown will hurt Missourians by delaying veterans' benefits, causing furloughs for 39,000 federal employees in Missouri, delaying loans for small businesses and Social Security checks for seniors enrolling in the program for the first time.
During an interview with CNN's Wolfe Blitzer Monday evening, 2nd District Congresswoman Ann Wagoner (R) said the House GOP were the only ones working to avoid the shutdown.
The St. Louis County Republican criticized Senate leadership and President Obama for failing to negotiate over the weekend.
Wagoner issued a statement after the midnight deadline saying that she has waived her salary for the duration of the government shutdown "because congress didn't get the job done." Wagoner blamed the deadlock on "partisan bickering."

Latest poverty figures show little improvement in Illinois
ST. LOUIS (AP) - New Census Bureau figures show Illinois' poverty rate remained stubbornly near 15 percent last year, and anti-poverty advocates say that's a sign an economic recovery isn't trickling down to the least fortunate.
The latest figures suggest that 14.7 percent of Illinoisans, or about 1.85 million people, lived in poverty last year. That's down ever slightly from 15 percent, or 1.88 million, in 2011.
The national rate also remained at 15 percent.
Amy Terpstra of the Chicago-based Heartland Alliance's Social Impact Research Center says the latest figures may make the case for raising Illinois' minimum wage. It's set at $8.25 an hour. Gov. Pat Quinn is pushing that idea, but business executives say it could backfire and force employers to eliminate jobs.
Missouri household income drops in 2012
ST. LOUIS (AP) - New U.S. census data shows that Missouri is one of just two states where median incomes fell in 2012 from the previous year, as many residents continue to grapple with a slow-to- recover economy.
Median household income in the state was $45, 321 last year. That's a 1.6 percent decline from 2011. Nationally, the median income for U.S. households in 2012 was $51, 017. That figure remained flat after two previous annual declines.
The federal Census Bureau also reported a statewide poverty rate of 11.7 percent. But for single mothers with dependent children, the poverty level hovers around 44 percent.
Statewide, nearly 270,000 of the 1.5 million families who participated in the annual American Community Survey reported household incomes under $24,999.
Fed likely to slow bond buys despite tepid economy
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hiring is soft. Pay is barely up. Consumers are cautious. Economic growth has yet to pick up.
And yet on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to take its first step toward reducing the extraordinary stimulus it's supplied to help the U.S. economy rebound from its deepest crisis since the Great Depression.
If it does, the Fed will likely spark a debate: Has the economy strengthened enough to withstand the pullback?
The answer might not be clear for months.
The Fed is meeting this week at a time of deepening uncertainty about who will succeed Chairman Ben Bernanke when his term ends in January. On Sunday, Lawrence Summers, who was considered the leading candidate, withdrew from consideration.
Summers' withdrawal followed growing resistance from critics. His exit could open the door for his chief rival, Janet Yellen, the Fed's vice chair. If chosen by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would become the first woman to lead the Fed.
For months, the Fed has said it will slow its $85 billion-a-month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases once the outlook for the job market has improved substantially. Those purchases have been designed to keep long-term loan rates low to get people to borrow and spend and invest in the stock market.
Super-low rates are credited with helping fuel a housing comeback, support economic growth, drive stocks to record highs and restore the wealth of many Americans.
Few think the Fed will significantly reduce its bond purchases — not now, anyway. Many economists think the Fed will announce when its two-day policy meeting ends Wednesday that it will slow its purchases by $10 billion — to $75 billon a month.
The pullback is expected to come from the Fed's Treasury purchases. It will likely maintain the pace of its mortgage bond buying to try to keep home-loan rates down to sustain the housing rebound.
Some had once expected a sharper first reduction in the Fed's purchases of around $20 billion a month. But that was before the government said that job growth was only modest in August and that employers added many fewer jobs in June and July than previously thought.
So why do economists think the Fed will reduce its stimulus for the economy at all?
In part, some Fed officials don't think the bond purchases are doing much good anymore. And they feel that by continuing to flood the financial system with cash, the Fed might be raising the risks of high inflation or dangerous bubbles in assets like stocks or real estate. Just the mention of a slowdown in bond purchases spooked investors. Some fear that the Fed's ultra-low-rate policies distorted the prices of some assets.
In addition, the Fed eventually needs to sell its vast investment portfolio, which is on track to top $4 trillion next year, without upsetting markets. The more the Fed expands its portfolio, the harder and more perilous the eventual sell-off could be.
And because the Fed has been raising expectations that its pullback will start as soon as September, some Fed officials may worry that defying those expectations would rattle investors.
Finally, there's Bernanke's expected departure in January. If the Fed is going to slow its stimulus, officials may not want to wait until their last meeting of the year in December, just before a new chairman takes over. That's, in part, why some think a pullback in bond purchases will be announced Wednesday.
"Bernanke may well want to have a bond-reduction program in place before a new chairman comes in," said David Wyss, a former chief economist at Standard & Poor's and now an economics professor at Brown University.
All that said, it's possible the Fed will choose not to slow its bond purchases now. In recent public remarks, some Fed officials have sounded uncertain that the economy and the job market have improved enough.
Once the Fed announces its decisions Wednesday, it will issue updated forecasts for the economy and Bernanke will hold a news conference.
Analysts expect the Fed to downgrade its economic outlook for 2013 from its previous forecast in June. That forecast estimated that the economy would grow at a still-sluggish annual rate between 2.3 percent and 2.8 percent this year. Through the first six months of 2013, the economy has grown at a much slower 1.8 percent rate.
Many think the Fed will try to cushion the response to a pullback in long-term bond purchases by stressing it has no intention of raising short-term interest rates anytime soon. The Fed has said it expects to keep its benchmark short-term rate near zero at least until the unemployment rate falls to 6.5 percent — as long as the inflation outlook remains mild.
The unemployment rate is now 7.3 percent, the lowest since 2008. Yet the rate has dropped in large part because many people have stopped looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed — not because hiring has accelerated. Inflation is running below the Fed's 2 percent target.
Any long-term reassurances from the Fed could face skepticism from investors who know that a new chairman might alter its policymaking. In addition, up to five new officials could join the Fed's seven-member board next year.
The Fed has struggled at times to send a clear message about its likely timetable for changing policies. Yet in recent months, the Fed and Bernanke have been explicit that a pullback in bond purchases would likely start by year's end and perhaps by September.
"This is the market's consensus view, and Fed officials are the ones who have guided the market to that consensus," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "At this point, the Fed doesn't want to jumble its communications."
Investors have sent long-term rates up in anticipation of a slowdown in purchases. Since Bernanke first hinted in May that a pullback was likely by year's end, the rate on the 10-year Treasury note has jumped from 1.63 percent in early May to 2.89 percent.
And long-term mortgage rates have surged more than a full percentage point since May, an increase that's made home-buying more difficult for some.
David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors, foresees the Fed cutting back on its purchases at a rate of about $10 billion at each meeting between now and mid-2014.
Even by that timetable, the Fed's stock of Treasury and mortgage bonds will grow: The investment portfolio will likely near $4.5 trillion by next summer. It's now a record $3.66 trillion — a four-fold increase from its level when the financial crisis erupted five years ago.
Even after new bond buying winds down, the Fed plans to keep reinvesting its bond holdings. It just won't be adding to its stockpile. It will still be providing extraordinary support for the economy.
And yet some economists remain unconvinced that now is the time to slow the purchases.
"Interest rates have already gone up as a result of their just talking about bond reductions," said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University's Martin Smith School of Business. "If they actually began cutting bond purchases, that would push interest rates up more and damage the economy."
Wyss thinks Bernanke's imminent departure is the main factor.
"If this were a decision based on economics, I think the Fed would wait, but given the politics of a new chairman having to go before Congress for confirmation, that could be an argument for moving now," Wyss said.
Missouri and Illinois jobless rates move in opposite directions
The jobless rates in Missouri and Illinois are moving in opposite directions.
Despite adding 4,600 jobs in May, Missouri's rate climbed to 6.8 percent from 6.6 percent in April. For the first time in several months, the government sector added jobs.
In Illinois, the unemployment rate fell in May to 9.1 percent. It was the second straight monthly drop after a series of increases earlier this year. State officials says that May's decrease was due in part to gains in construction employment.
Illinois' jobless rate still remains much higher than the 7.6 nationwide unemployment rate for May that was reported earlier this month.

German Shepherd Dog > do you think working lines mature slower than showlines? (24 replies)
do you think working lines mature slower than showlines? by destiny4u on 20 July 2012 - 21:30 |
LIke belgian west german working lines mature slower than american or german show lines? |
by OGBS on 20 July 2012 - 22:11 |
Usually the DDR and Czech working lines are slower to mature than the WG working lines. I have seen a great deal of WG showlines that are quick to mature and also quick to wash out. I don't have enough experience with the Belgian working line GSD's, or, the American showlines to comment. |
by brynjulf on 20 July 2012 - 22:22 |
I agree with OGBS I also find that Czech breeding mature slower. Males much moreso than the females. |
by EuroShepherd on 20 July 2012 - 23:17 |
Male dogs mature slower than females, some take 3-4 yrs to mature. One of my dad's dogs is 3 yrs old and I'm still waiting for him to look mature (and he's not working lines.) One of my friends has several half czech, half belgian working line dogs and I noticed that those dogs did seem to mature slower than his pure czech working and pure german working line dogs. |
by swingfield on 20 July 2012 - 23:24 |
I actually had the reverse question! I have a working (west/east) male that is maturing very quickly..(90 lbs @ 11 months) and a west german showline female that is only 50 lbs and tiny at 9 months old!! I was thinking the opposite !! :) |
by destiny4u on 20 July 2012 - 23:53 |
my 2 and half czech belgian west german mix with lots of zidane blood in her looks still puppyish and acts it a lot also i wonder when she will mature shes really good in her protection but still so chlidish in other things. I know about pure czech lines maturing slow. But i wonder if the belgian and west german must often mature really slow also compared to typical showlines. There is no way shes an adult. Euroshepherd i wonder if me and your friend have the same dog almost lol ANy reason why the czech belgian/wg mix might mature super slow? |
by beetree on 20 July 2012 - 23:56 |
swingfield: Agreed! I always thought our resident Czech expert has mentioned his czech bred dogs were supposedly the earliest of maturerers. One reason PD's like 'em. And my own experience says the SL's are on the slower side of maturity. |
by Chaz Reinhold on 21 July 2012 - 00:05 |
Depends on your latitude, sunlight, and gravity. Oh, and if you have Cinemax, they'll definitely mature faster. All lines inside of lines are different. I've seen CZ/DDR dogs mature quickly, and they're supposed to be the slowest. |
by swingfield on 21 July 2012 - 00:21 |
@ Chaz !! and make them wear tin foil hats helps too.. the lines cant be sucked out very fast and they dont lose anymore brain waves!! ((What)) ?? |
by OGBS on 21 July 2012 - 05:05 |
Swingfield, Usually when one talks about maturity in a dog they mean mental maturity, not, physical. If your dog is 90lbs at 11 months it is either overweight (guessing not) or way oversized. Oversized is common with East German lines. Either way I would be careful with the dog. That is a lot of weight for a body structure (meaning it's bones, especially legs, hips, and elbows) to be carrying at that age. |
by GSDPACK on 21 July 2012 - 15:13 |
I turned to solar power, seems to help in maturing slower, steady, and healthy. |
by inc on 21 July 2012 - 16:54 |
Hello All, When you say "Maturing" what do you exactly mean. What characters do you observe ? I guess that body/structure gets better and the dog stops kind of being childish. I have a 23 month West German Showline and a son of VA5 Schicco and he is very friendly with everybody and playful. He thinks everyone is a friend and I dont like it. Atleast I want him to bark at a stranger when some one knocks on the door or goes near the fence but he whines at people to come near and play. Is this something normal or what ? One way its a good thing that I have less liability and on the other hand what is the purpose of having a dog if he wants to play with everyone. Thank you. |

Czech "z Pohranicni straze" dogs who were working as a border patrol dogs were specifically bred for long serviceability. Early maturity and performance until up to 10 years of age. Z PS dogs were on training active duty (perform all the tasks as patrol dogs except were not fully used in actual apprehensions) at 10 mo - 12 mo months. That included 25 km ( 15+ miles) patrol every day and so on. That is by today standard early. By the time they were 2 years old they must all be mature enough to be able to be in full active duty. Some were much younger then that. Sadly most German and GSD in general and that includes some Czech dogs these days can not be in full LE duty until they are around 2.5- 3.5 (!) years old and retired at 6 years(!) or earlier(!!!). We like fast maturing dogs and are still considering this when we breed dogs. Working dog should mature fast so that he can work long. Slow maturing working dogs are result of poor breeding and it is unnatural. Fast maturing is natural tait and GSD is a natural dog same a swolf. In a wolf , in nature, fast amturing is a matter of survival . Some justify slow maturing by saying that it enables the dog to learn longer. That is silly statement. Learning ability in a good dog will last well into maturity and should not be related to a great degree to it (to maturity). Slow maturing is inadvertently promoted by breeders who like dogs to be puppyish for long time. That is OK for toy breeds but not for working breeds. On the other end of the spectrum, early retirement of some lines ( 6 years and such) is a result of sport breeding where the sport dog needs to perform at 3-5 years and then is retired and subsequently nobody cares about such dogs early or late retirement. Really it is sad. Breeder of working dogs should keep this on his/her mind for the sake of a GSD as a working dog. Hans |
by Prager on 21 July 2012 - 18:32 |
The length of serviceability is directly related to the health and to the length of the life of the dog. Hans |
by Prager on 21 July 2012 - 18:35 |
Do not mistake fast maturity for slow growing in early age. Slow growing is good and is important for proper hips / bones/ joint development. Hans |
by swingfield on 21 July 2012 - 20:55 |
OGBS .. yes he is not fat by any means!!! He is the one on my profile and I am very aware of his body weight and conformation and diet in regards to his growth spurts.. he is now 11 months old.. extremely sharp and aware.. very mature for his age.. has a wide range of commands.. (ie: go get some water, platz, foos, go potty, speak, watch em,) and just generally reads my mind! Very intelligent.. Long in body , has some good bone.. 2 prelims on xrays show good to possibly excellent.. very good seat in the sockets.. While the whiney little show line female is small frame and bone, goofy .. ADHD .. has no prey drive.. just play drive and that is with some effort.. very well bred.. just a clown! that was my reply to the OP .. that I had the opposite !! I wish it were the opposite at times.. my boy is neutered and my personal protection dog..( in training) West dad and an East/West working mom.. good minded protection/psa dogs.. not the conformation ring.. and he did turn out the largest of the whole litter.. not what I was hoping for.. but keeping in mind on not being too hard on him in jumping and such!!I was so much happier with the first East german female that I imported back in 1990! a gorgerous black sable ,,she threw awesome hips and minds.. and I cant seem to find that kind of breeding anymore !! |
by destiny4u on 21 July 2012 - 21:48 |
my dog is a beast in the house and by her fence but friendly in public around strangers unless i give her ON command. Shes just childish in other ways specially around dogs she acts like a puppy but maybe because she was also never sococialzed with them much till now. INC your dog should not be that way that is really wierd. |
by beetree on 21 July 2012 - 22:16 |
INC. I wouldn't be overly concerned. Chances are your dog is balanced and the people they have met are not threatening. I do think your dog can become more territiorial with increased age. That will up the suspicion response, IMHO. Don't fret it, enjoy your good dog. |
by VonIsengard on 21 July 2012 - 22:54 |
I've actually found showlines, especially males, to be very late to mature. |
by inc on 22 July 2012 - 00:29 |
Thank you. I too heard that it may take about 3 years of age before he becomes suspecious and territorial. |

The US Festival was a massive undertaking promoted by Bill Graham and sponsored by Steve Wozniak of Apple Computers. It was the first major festival in over a decade that wasn't a charity event; the 3-day concert was simply a celebration of technology. The US Festival was the earliest large concert to use video screens, and the onstage action was also broadcast live to MTV viewers at home. There were large air-conditioned tents featuring the "US Festival Technology Exposition" which was an impressive presentation of then-cutting edge computers, software, and electronic music devices. The event took place in 105 degree heat, hosted 400,000 people, saw 12 overdoses and 36 arrests, and was a commerical failure (with losses totaling $12.5 million), but that didn't discourage Wozniak from sponsoring another US Festival the following year.

Student Loan Certification: What Is It and How Does It Work?Every year, students around the country complete student loan applications in order to pay for tuition and other related expenses for college. Before a student loan can pay to a student's account, a process called certification must be completed. Certification is basically a borrower protection put in place to make sure that correct loan amounts are being distributed to students. There are two different types of student loan certifications out there: self-certification and school certification. Self-certification is a required part of any private student loan application in which the borrower must list cost of attendance and all other financial aid awarded to confirm eligibility for a loan. It is used to raise borrower awareness about financial aid and prevent borrowers from overborrowing. An applicant cannot borrow more than total cost of attendance minus any financial aid awarded. Here is an example of what a self-certification can look like: School certification is a process completed at the school's financial aid office for all student loans, including federal and private. School certification confirms the borrower's eligibility for particular loans after reviewing the student's registration status, associated cost of attendance, and other financial aid eligibility. A loan request may be reduced or canceled depending on the registration status (full time, half time, less than half time, etc.) A school will certify different loans considering different data. Here are detailed examples: As grade level is accounted for when awarding a Stafford loan, here is a list of maximum eligibility for each year of school, and lifetime eligibility. Note that as students advance in grade level, their federal loan eligibility increases: When is certification completed? A self-certification for a private student loan is completed during the early stages of the application. A school certification is completed by the school's financial aid office after student loans are awarded and accepted by the student. A school certification may be completed very quickly, but it can take a long time for all loan certifications to be processed because of the high volume of students that apply for funding. Follow up with your school's financial aid office to get an estimate on when your loan will be certified.
