Interesting Times For All Commodities And Investments!! Chapter 59..... 215 commentsMar 13, 2014 7:36 PM
SOME VERY NICE CHANGES I AM MAKING HERE. I will be listing those that participate their blogs to expand the horizon for us. We will have the blogs already running. But we now will have a few more..
What started out as a small group discussing anything related to investing has grown extremely educational over the last few months.
We have Authors, Financial Advisors, Seasoned investors, Experts in specific fields, and just the average Joe pitching in...
Folks.. we are growing and posters like it. If you are new to investing then this site is for you.
HERE IS THE LINK TO READING MATERIAL !!seekingalpha.com/instablog/5038891-inter...-material
John Wilson...
Two part blog on Healthcare: First installment,
The Healthcare Fallacy. I will take a critical and challenging look at the system we refer to as "Healthcare. "Here is a sentence from it:
The US "healthcare" system does nothing to prevent disease or create personal health. The primary emphasis is on treating symptoms without understanding what caused the symptoms in the first place.
Join me in questioning the established order. http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/776251-john-wilson/2380302-the-healthcare-fallacy?source=kizur_seekingalpha
USER........"The current goal is a 8% portfolio yield, which in any one thing will be risky. I try to mitigate that by buying into lots and lots of small positions over time that meet that minimum. As interest rates rise, I will adjust the minimum yield requirement."
ADAM GALAS......I'm running an interesting experiment of which is better long term, high yield/low dividend growth vs low yield/fast dividend growth. It's a long term, multi year project, covering 50 amazing companies and I'd like to invite your readers to take a look. Here is the Dividend Growth portfolio:
Found some amazing hidden gems in there. Most are small-mid cap, under followed, but for patient investors will crush the market.
Then here's my high yield portfolio. I think you're readers will find it interesting. Yield is 8.8% and average dividend growth rate is 7.74% so still beating inflation.
FOCAL POINT....Medical and overseas commentary.. a MUST look! His blogs have been around way longer then mine has. EVERYONE should take a peek and see how much information is supplied.
Disclosure: I am long PSEC.

John Nat Gas is not going to take off like petrol but more specialized just look at the jump in the fuel cell's (PLUG) (FCEL) you don't raise a buck for nothing,Sikorsky generates it's own electricity & (UIL) provides the liquid a regulated CO...NG Is all about timing and present time demographics which seems to be the confusion in today's market,Due to the ever changing mix and we just came off the hardest winter in 10 years no guarantee for next year for an NG spike,supply must be high and demand varies,(D) would be a good choice due too liquid NG export permits and terminals just coming on line.

IT, There are many countries that send their gold to the US to hold because they can't trust their own military to guard it. That is part of the reason no one is allowed to inventory our Gold a Ft Knox. It would show WAY more than the US has claim to. Now their money goes to the Caymans or wherever. As bad as the US is, we DO have a stable government that is unlikely to be overthrown by a military coup. Our Bankers and Wall St. would never allow it!!
Do you remember where you were when you heard the announcement?
I was in Math Class
I'm not worried about conspiracy theories, You cannot keep a fart secret anymore. I just put 1 foot in front of the other, and wait for the Big DEROS in the Sky, like I have since I was 18
Good morning all;
Sure do enjoy reading you guys. Anyway, so happy we have March Madness going on, watching stock stuff all day is getting pretty old, besides it does even make me any money either.
Am really partial to the womens game. Love 'em or hate 'em, you gotta admire my Lady Huskies. I prefer the womens game for several reasons. 1. They are prettier than the guys. 2. They stay in college for the long haul & actually graduate. 3. They usually play like they enjoy the game.
Stock stuff? My tiny IRA composed of only AUY, GPL & EXK [and a couple others worth mere pennies}, is up like 48% since Jan 1. Am hoping to get into the green soon.
Gotta go make another cup of coffee. Dang I do make good coffee.
I've only been in this Challenge a month, and had I not let 1 stinking stock lay on the table too long, I would be far ahead of where I am.
In RL, I would have had the position hedged, but we can't do that here except to buy short ETFs. DDD was never supposed to be on my BUY list, but I got in a hurry and skipped the DD on it. Very Costly. I went from I think a high of 11th one day, down to 17th and now I had to reset all my positions off an old Article. I am buying and selling according to the Market Maker Trails that Peter Way has found a way to track. In all my previous tests of stocks from his articles, I average ~20%/Q, but now I have to make up for a lost month. On the bright side, I never bought 3D in my RL account.
China. I go there about 10 times a year. (too much travel for me) but there is lots going on. Time mainly in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Interesting Times, contributor
I cannot imagine that the US will fade away that quickly, as people here just control too much wealth. That said, we probably won't be the largest economy unless we get some manufacturing back.
You didn't mention the pollution in China. My understanding is that reducing pollution there is high on the population's mind, and will be rather costly to clear up. It might slow their GDP down once/if they seriously address it.
I have spent considerable time in Asia, but never in China, and my impression of the people is that they are quite hard workers; but as you say, there is some sort of <maybe call it creativity?> I don't know. It's not lack of intelligence nor motivation to work. Perhaps it's a cultural thing about "Rocking the Boat". I have not been to Japan since the 70's; but back then, no office workers went home until the boss did. Now do not misunderstand me, there has been much creativity coming, at times, from every corner of the world, I just think that there will always be a strength of will here in the US that will keep us in the running as an economy despite not having the largest population base or Market.
Interesting Times, contributorWEEKEND WARRIORS..
Have to agree with the author of that article on T-Bills. Even 2-3 Trillion dumped would be absorbed rather quickly.
I seriously doubt China wants to get involved in Euro type affairs, they have Asian affairs like claims on the S China Sea to be higher on their list.
Interesting Times, contributorAND AN ARTICLE FOR THE METAL BUGS..
You know what your doing IT Gold is a special (theirs no words).
I sold dang high and bought UI low am using the portfolio to follow something,i held dang for over two yrs and knew ui was going to buy philly the highs and lows coincided,already made out at both ends,when one knows their commodity,good to see leadership back in the top 3.
Ignorance is bliss,knowledge is power! History rhymes and pigs get slaughtered!

Here is another article of the financial crisis of 1907, yes that's right 1907 not 2008.
And ( drum roll) ,the great financial crisis of 1914!
After reading (scanning really) the first article, it struck me that Gold became an instrument of trade due to the need for one, and by default because of the limited supply. That very limited supply was what eventually made Gold obsolete as the major trade vehicle, and for a while it was the BP, now the USD. The danger of our overproduction of dollars may move the Euro into the lime-lite next if we do not reduce deficits, as the "Trade Vehicle" must meet certain standards.
1 There must be a limiting factor on the supply to give it value; but there must be enough of it to provide the liquidity needs worldwide.
2 It must achieve recognition for stability, such as governments not being overthrown.
3 It must be portable. Gold's very lack of portability signaled it's end. The threat of a ship loaded with it sinking beyond recovery meant that it was less trustworthy than money issued by a stable Govt. You may recall that that ship that sank in the 1850's that was recently found threw the US into one of it's worst recessions ever, one that would have lasted decades longer if not for the Civil War.
Return to the Gold Standard will never happen due to #3.
Another part of the article referred to population balance. When you see a country like India with overproduction of people, you see that the "Standard of Living" must be spread across too many people. China would be in a similar state without the draconian birth and population controls of the Mao Era. In the time discussed there (1870-1914), the US needed more workers. Right now, the US is close to being balanced, but things could go either way. Back at that time, Europe was reaching serious population overproduction, while there was significant extra room in the "New World".
Population production in 1st world countries (by and large) stabilizes due to reduced birth rates, balanced by immigration. People with the ability to control the number of children they have, historically going back to Rome, tend towards smaller families to concentrate "Living Standard". Rome brought in slaves, and eventually fell due to lack of enough men willing to fight in the Roman Army.
As for the next 2 links, I'll see your 1907 and 1914 and raise you 1987. http://1.usa.gov/1eepnpI
In all cases, the real underlying factor was liquidity. In 1987, one of the biggest problems was that Margin Calls were due during trading sessions, while credit for sold stocks was not applied until after Trading. Thus just selling stocks to meet margin calls had to be done the day PRIOR to the call. Something no one wanted to do as they were already in the red.
The currency failure then was related to item 1 above, there was not enough liquidity, just as we saw in 2008.
Panics are not usually a failure to produce goods and services, but a breakdown in the exchange system. Pseudo-Exceptions like the Irish Potato Famine may seem to be a failure of adequate goods; but in fact Ireland was producing a great deal more food than it needed. The problem was that the food was produced on "Absentee-Landlord" owned land (mostly English) and was exported to England rather than being on the Irish Market.
Wow OW. Thanks for your take on that.
What I find striking is that from 1850- early 1900's economies where overall booming ( partially fuel by massive credit expansion from England),with minor financial shocks @around 1870's,1890 , than a larger disruption 1907 and 1914. The details of course vary. Now compare 1950's to now (1970's,1987,2008). Also economies where booming during that time frame only this time credit expansion came from the US. As a trader recognizing patterns has it's importance and I do see one there. Do hope very much that what followed after 1914 will be different this time.
My brother follows and has some gold/silver investments and gets my opinion by email. I am inserting my most recent reply to him. I believe in sharing.
John,your analysis is probably correct. In this case an inverse head and shoulder pattern would be developing.
Since the second low was lower,would personally lean towards that possibility. Taking profits at this junction point seems a prudent choice,if the neckline breaks to the upside,one can always get back in.
As per (GLD) weekly chart: 1st shoulder ~118, neckline 135,head ~ 116,now at neckline ~135, 2nd shoulder would be ~ 118 (June-July) . After that next leg up past 2011 highs.
That is also possible . Most folks want to have simple answers in this very complex world we live in ( good/ bad,black/white) unfortunately it is not that straight forward.
If that ceiling you mentioned is broken decisively,than a double bottom would be confirmed,if not inverse head and shoulders pattern has a high degree of playing out,with most likely time frame of June 2013 low/Dec.2013 low/June 2014 low(6/6/6). I don't like making predictions at all rather let price action lead and at this junction point prefer to sell my (PHYS) holding and wait where the market is heading. In case of double bottom,I will go long after a clear breakout has been confirmed.
Interesting Times, contributor
Can't help but wonder what was being transfered in the cargo hold. China buys a lot of gold, Germany can't get theirs back, Fort Knox is rumored to be empty, and we have heads of states that are mere millionaires at the start of their tenures, but worth many, many millions when they leave office.
Everyone of my workers their have been 18 all Caucasian, are on a variance of Fed & ST. assistance i have finely accepted the state of affairs we have been in actually since 2001,i have finely let go and will continue to do what i can do and most immediate is to recover my standing on portfolio challenge.Thank you.
Interesting Times, contributorThis ain't good news either !!
Anytime you want "Doom and Gloom" stories about the market, just read Hulburt. He has been spouting the same garbage for the last 5 years. His only claim to fame is of the "Stopped Clock" variety. I also watch insider trading, and the only reason for so much insider selling is because they hide CEO and Director pay by paying in Options or just plain give them shares.
What I want to see is the $value of the shares they retain after selling their quarterly paydays. I have seen few insiders wind up with less $ worth of stock at year's end when I do an analysis of a company's SEC filings. They sell more than they buy because they are gifted the stocks.
Despite a good excuse for stocks to fall and gold to rise this week in the Crimean Unrest, just the opposite has happened. $130 is essentially going to be the resistance on GLD for 2-3 months. My most optimistic gain that I can calculate by the end of Q2 is +6%. I must put in the disclaimer that halfway through my Calcs, the site I was using crashed, and I could not even log into my usual source for SEC filings.
A king asked 3 of his wise advisers what the answer to 2 + 2 was. The mathematician said "It is certainly 4". The scientist said "all my experiments have shown it to be 4". The statistician told him "you tell me what answer you want and I'll find a way to come up with it".
I had a great great uncle who was a muleskinner for the Prussians in the Great Crimean War in the 1800's. My family being Mennonite, they would not fight, but were forced to drive wagons for bare subsistence pay to feed their families. If war breaks out again, I may have a Grandson over there driving a truck (If they can wait about 14 years). Ahh the stories my father was told about it by my relatives. My father was born in 1903, so family memories were still fresh in his youth.
Interesting Times, contributorFrance bans Monsanto GM maize
One of the reasons is that there are long term environmental consequences of GMO,which the shortsighted countries like Spain don't care about,but France and Germany do.
Also cattle that has been feed antibiotics are not well received in Europe neither. These are probably some of the sticking points of the free trade agreement that is being negotiated between the US and Europe.
Interesting Times, contributorTOMMY
Interesting Times, contributorTommy
One of the problems John,is that pesticides that are in the GMO's are not very beneficial to certain insects that are necessary for other plants. Bees are one example.
And as far as quality is concerned,look at the folks that eat junk food mostly. Do they look healthy to you?
You will not find nearly as many obese people in Europe as in the US. Why?
One positive aspect is,more customers for the health industry.

Sushi miso happy!
On thing I observe is that humans in general go from one extreme to another. The happy medium is the sweet spot in anything.
Just maybe now in the Ukraine, the folks that have been suppressed are now becoming the suppressors,but can't be sure of that.
Antibiotics in animals is CRIMINAL. They would be better to breed disease resistant animals. I limit my red meat to 8 oz/3 days max, That means beef and Hogs both. Nevertheless, I went back to smoking (lightly) in 97 after my combat injuries caught up with me and I could no longer work. We must all die of something. That said, I roll my own out of Pipe Tobacco to limit additives.
Some of the protein can be used "as-is", but not much from Grains. It has to be broken and also rebuilt.
Only Milk has all 12 of the body's needed Amino Acids that can be used directly.
PS from Burrito-land (New Mexico). When you boil your beans, add either 1 small unpeeled potato, or 1/2 of a larger unpeeled, and after cooking, throw the potato away. Enzymes in the Potato Skin break down the protein in beans that give you GAS.
Compared to Morbid Obesity, food additives are minor. People die of just plain overeating long before those chemicals can do much damage.
Try doing a Pelvic on a woman so obese that you have to have someone push the folds of fat up just to find your target. The smell of the Fungal disease would make all but the strongest stomachs rebel. There was one woman who I had to brace my feet against a wall to get the leverage to push the fat folds up the abdomen. Probably 150 CM height and 200+ kilograms.
Wow, Oldwarrior... Your gyno story reminds me to be thankful I have a thin and fit wife. ;)
I'm more concerned with the poaching of Salmon in the rivers west of the Bering Sea from (I think the country is) Kamchitka. Not to mention Bluefin Tuna down 90%, Yellowfin in danger, just generalized overfishing in the oceans. It appears that Atlantic Cod may never recover from the overfishing of up through the 60's/70's in the Grand Banks.
Our great grandchildren and beyond will curse us daily for our depletion of world resources, as they burn sticks to heat themselves in the winters.

I do believe you,do find the article relevant though,read it please.
Can you name,I won't go there because of fear,the most powerfully global organization,so to speak the man behind the curtain? It's a shame that I'm afraid,living in a democracy after all that should only be the case in a dictatorship. Maybe the ex chancellor of Germany was right when he said that there is a fine line between dictatorship and democracy.
Most importantly, it led to the founding of the U.S. Federal Reserve System. The act was passed in December of 1912, and is arguably the high water mark of the Progressive era."
I noticed the question you asked in your comment about who is in control. I think Jim Marrs has a good handle on it in "Rule by Secrecy" although the "Alien Agenda" part of it may not be correct, but he IDs the human players. Hitler would see "the superman" in his room at night. Other world dictators have had similar experiences. They believe they have a divine right to rule. They may believe that are divine themselves. Marrs elaborates on this.
"You did not think I was going to use the word "illuminate" did you"? No,thought you would say BGC.
Aliens,that is funny. Wasn't Hitler a drug fiend ,I suppose in the early 1900's Freud prescribed cocaine for pretty much every ailment and coca cola was the super drink. No wonder people saw aliens.
Sold off one of my babies today :( - (MO). 34% gain in 3 years (almost exactly 3 years, too!). Using the proceeds to get us debt-free (besides mortgage payment). All the freed up monthly money will go back into the brokerage account until it's trigger pulling time again.
Interesting Times, contributor
We went Debt-Free last fall, so immediately the wife started planning home improvements. Our plan is to have ~$30k in cash before we start next fall, besides what I have in the Market. It really does feel good to not have any payments except the house, and the house has >4 years payments left.My Trading fund will be there for cost overruns.
I went ~25% cash at market open today, and made sure nothing was left "on Margin". I expected a downturn like today, and it may last a while.
Strange that the market as well as Gold are both taking a hit today.
We re-fi'ed in 2012, thus resetting our terms, so technically there are 28 years remaining on ours. :) Our original plan was to have enough to pay it off (but not necessarily do so) by 12/31/2015. That plan is still intact, and we should come in a little early (I project 6/2015), barring any calamities. Not too bad, considering we originally purchased in late 2007.
Interesting Times, contributor
Sorry to say Gold bugs but the probability of inverted head and shoulder/triple bottom is increasing if not a certainty. Selling opportunity might still come up on the next bounce,otherwise you just have to ride it out to (GLD) ~116. I know TA is witch craft and FA is serious. Silly me.
Interesting Times, contributor
Are you sure about that one threat. Personally did not see any threat in Dec./Jan,but gold went up.
JBW was right when he said that when markets pull back some folks are saying " here comes the big correction " and when gold/silver pull back it is seen as a buying opportunity.
It is dangerous to get married to any asset class!
Now again I am not talking about physicals.
Anyone else thinking that today's selloff is the big guys loading up on cash in case Russia dumps T-Bills on the market at firesale prices? I've been reading that even without any sanctions, Russia's economy is tanking, and they may have to sell T-Bills for the Gov to raise cash. They can't raise taxes as theirs is already high. Supposedly going to cost Russia Billions to incorporate Crimea.
Meanwhile, it's going to cost the West billions to save Ukraine from defaults. I just hope that Buma makes it a European-only job, and doesn't try to buy us a new (broke) friend. We can't afford too many more friends like that, hell, we can't even keep Puerto Rico afloat, and we own them.
That would make sense to me, but the knee-jerk reason is reaction to Janet Yellen comments about possibly, maybe raising rates next year - a year from now.
Here is Doug Casey on internationalizing your life. One of my favorite things to listen too.
I am trying to make an international bank choice too at this time. As I implied to EA below, I favor Central America as an initial first step.(the Caribbean is good too). I doubt if anyone else is interested.
Welcome to the self-realization of the international man perspective.
Here is more from Casey
I think I see what you are talking about, but it probably only has a 50% chance of turning into an inverted H&S. After this current run is over it may correct down 50 to 60% of the run then continue up to the next level of (GLD) 150 and then correct again.
* there would be a 50% chance it could break support and go down to 100.
** or, become a rectangle formation and continue in a rectangular range for a while sideways.
It is only a double bottom until it becomes something else.
That's what it looks like now.
I am only concerned with timing and trading the current move (miners or ETFs). Then interpreting the next move after that.
Yes so far the pattern of double bottom is there,but remember it would only be confirmed after a breakout of resistance (GLD) ~135,see weekly and the break would have to be 3%+.
Also volume needs to rise significantly.
As for 150, that is too far away at this point and only should be considered after the above has been completed. Same with the 100 target, should only be considered if support of 116 (3%+) breaks down.
Also rectangle formation is to far in advance at this moment.
Good that you hold on to your physical. I was referring to trading positions only.
Interesting Times, contributor
If we (Obama, State Dept, MCain) strongly oppose Russia annexing Crimea, I suppose that also means we are going to give Texas back to Mexico and also give Hawaii back to the native Hawaiians.
It's a fine line... We all know there's not going to be any "givebacks"... But do we want to go back to the times of conquest and expansion and 'manifest destiny' that we've had in the past?

Stock Question :I have 1 stock that baffles me.Since I don't analyze stocks ,any ideas would be appreciated here. I have (LDOS) in a portfolio.The stock is formerly SAIC .The company split last year and the contracts keep coming in but I am not sure if that is helping (LDOS) whatsoever. It seems like an internal matter .They have scored many good contracts w/ the Government in the past month, but the stock is near it's low since inception. Too much for me to get a read on ,but any ideas would be welcomed.
(LDOS) is showing a ~10% short interest, but only 56% institutional ownership. With a >3% dividend, it is being held quite a bit by retail investors who can be very skittish, but also quick to jump in to cap the dividend. If enough jump in, there could be a pop on a short squeeze. The market is going to have to reverse this correction attitude first though. I would not buy, but I might hold for a pre dividend pop. It's not for betting the rent money on, but with all those new contract announcements, any upgrade could pop it fairly strong IMO.
Thanks OW. I just got an email yesterday that they will be paying a dividend of.32 cents a share. Payable on April,30 th. http://yhoo.it/OV2kqr
Yep and a nice little pop today may start worrying the Shorts.
If you need, I'll do a greater in-depth research sometime this week. Researching stocks has been a hobby for quite a while. Currently a lot of "Analysts" hate it, which is at least a hold signal.
I'm a tad busy with my BlockDesk Duties maybe until the weekend.
I like today's Market, but want to see it stay a couple days. Asia is up tonight so far as well.
And I had already seen that Dividend announcement, Puts it at $1.28 annualized and with today's pop that's 3.02%. The EPS of 17 is low by today's standards.
I didn't read the report at http://bit.ly/1eNmwEI
but I rarely trust analysts anyway. All they are good for is that at times they raise a point for me to research myself. I could give a more comprehensive report after I see their SEC Filing.An upside surprise could hit $50 pretty fast with short covering.
Another 1% tomorrow and I might dip a toe in -Pre Earnings.
All this "Armageddon" talk is kind of humorous, but unlikely to play out. Don't forget that it's the big Banks who are really in charge, and they are just playing the rest of us. The fact is that last week's selloff was just a knee jerk reaction by people who still listen to "Analysts". Yellen's statements were about prospects probably a year away, and in a few days things will be back to normal. Actually I take her statements as an encouragement that the economy can get along just fine without the Fed intervening, and interest rates won't start up until the recovery is strong enough to see some inflation. Not there yet.
I don't look for any trouble until the Small Caps start tanking outside of some general correction. I'm just going to hold tight, and try to get some compounding going after all the "talking heads" get overrun by the markets.
Big banks are really in charge? The Fed is the biggest bank. They sound like they are slipping. Doesn't sound like they are too confident in what they are doing.
They are in control until people realize they are not in control
Economic Analyst, contributorGuys
Economic Analyst, contributorI'm starting to get motivated on building some new positions for the Ultimate Portfolio Challenge. I'll be contacting JB soon about adding (IBM). Looks like I need to sell a little more of my winnings in reserve than I had thought til now in order to finance the next offensive phase of the operation.
Economic Analyst, contributorHmmm...OK plan on putting me down for a move on (EWZ).
Economic Analyst, contributorThanks John I don't expect it to skyrocket but am trying to trend toward a simulated portfolio that more reflects my real intent which is to use short term profit too help build some long term security with proper balance. I heard a blurb on the radio that (IBM) is investing $1B in a series of offshore data farms and I have the impression that they are still the smartest ones out there despite intense competition and size matters, economy of scale, etc., plus it is rumored that one of the smartest humans I know is going to work there soon so maybe some avenues to future insight and then there is Dr. Watson, who works for them night and day and never sleeps. Seems a logical choice to try and gradually build some new satellites and try and establish orbit in a different sector outside my own little world.
Economic Analyst, contributor"NEW YORK, March 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The New York Genome Center (NYGC) and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced an initiative to accelerate a new era of genomic medicine with the use of IBM's Watson cognitive system. IBM and NYGC will test a unique Watson prototype designed specifically for genomic research as a tool to help oncologists deliver more personalized care to cancer patients. NYGC and its medical partner institutions plan to initially evaluate Watson's ability to help oncologists develop more personalized care to patients with glioblastoma, an aggressive and malignant brain cancer that kills more than 13,000 people in the U.S. each year. Clinicians lack the tools and time required to bring DNA-based treatment options to their patients and to do so, they must correlate data from genome sequencing to reams of medical journals, new studies and clinical records — at a time when medical information is doubling every five years...."

NC State athletic director Debbie Yow does not know Julie Hermann, but she is thrilled nonetheless.
You can understand why. Hermann is now part of a club with only a handful of members. A club that has not seemed to grow in membership over the past 20 years, despite more women playing sports, more women coaching and more female sports teams than ever in collegiate athletics.
Hermann became the third female athletic director at a BCS-level school when she was hired Wednesday to take over the Rutgers athletic department, joining Yow and Sandy Barbour at Cal. The hire signals a bold move for Rutgers, in the middle of an athletic department mess with a move to the Big Ten looming.
But will it end up being a move that opens more doors for females with designs on becoming athletic directors? That question gets murkier. Dating back to when Yow got her first AD job at a BCS school -- at Maryland in 1994 -- there have never been more than three female ADs at any one time at BCS conferences.
Hard to believe that no progress has been made over such a long period of time, especially when strides have been made in virtually every other area.
"I understand it completely," Yow said during a break at the ACC spring meetings at Amelia Island, Fla. "These jobs are very challenging to secure and there are an ample number of qualified women. But they usually involve key boosters and those key boosters are often times men. I don't have any statistical data to support this, but they have a challenging time seeing themselves on the football team plane with that female athletic director.
"In my case, I was blessed at Maryland the men on the committee who were key boosters really could see that. That's how it happened. It's very challenging for women to get these jobs."
Yow pointed to a study conducted by R. Vivian Acosta and Linda Jean Carpenter titled "Women in Intercollegiate Sport" that pointed out women had a better chance of becoming presidents at BCS schools than athletic directors.
According to that study, 10.6 percent of Division I athletic directors were females in 2012. In 1998, that number was 9.9 percent. If you look at the FBS level, only 4.9 percent of athletic directors were female in 2012.
For her part, Hermann has worked at the side of one of the top athletic directors in the entire country at Louisville in Tom Jurich, one of four nominees for AD of the Year. Louisville has made tremendous strides under Jurich and seen incredible success in the last year, joining the ACC while winning a BCS game, men's hoops title and playing in the women's title game.
Hermann said during her introductory press conference in New Jersey, "(Athletics) is male-dominated, but in my building it's not male-dominated, it's probably-female dominated. We have Tom surrounded. And on the other hand I've been a woman in collegiate athletics my whole life. I don't know anything different other than the men that helped us make it happen."
When asked at the ACC spring meetings whether he thought this might open more doors for women to become athletic directors, Jurich said, "I sure hope so. I don't know how many women have gone for those jobs, but I know she's definitely ready. She's going to do a great job at Rutgers. They've got an incredible asset who was my right-hand for 15 years. She was more than an employee, she was a very close friend and I'm going to miss her dearly. But I couldn't be happier for her."
Yow is thrilled, too. Though it feels as if progress in this one area has been nonexistent, seeing Hermann get a job at a school headed for the Big Ten is progress in itself. She would be only the second female AD in Big Ten history when Rutgers joins the league in 2014 (Michigan State's Merrily Dean Baker from 1992-95 was the first).
Whether this sets a trend or not, Hermann is the one who went out and got this job for herself.
"It's terrific, terrific for the league, terrific for her, terrific for the thousands of women who aspire to becoming a director of athletics at this level," Yow said.
The glass ceiling has another little crack. Joyous news indeed.

Sad for would be pensioners
If the retirement age is raised to 62, the would be pensioners would only be able to collect their pension at 62. If it is raise to 65 or 67, then it can be expected that their pension will only start at the respective age. This may be cheaper to the employer as the expected lifespan after that could be much shorter than starting from 55. Some may not enjoy seeing their pension at all. Big savings.

UNESCO Director-General condemns murder of another journalist in Mexico
The Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, condemned the murder of Mexican journalist Evaristo Pacheco Solis. His body was found on 12 March near Chilpancingo, capital of the south-western state of Guerrero.
"I condemn the murder of Evaristo Pacheco Solis, which highlights once again the considerable danger faced by journalists in regions where criminal organizations are attempting to impose their law," declared Ms Bokova. "I call on the authorities and law enforcers of Mexico to increase their efforts to improve security conditions and lessen the risk for journalists in the country."
Evaristo Pacheco Solis, 33, was a reporter with the weekly Visión Informativa. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is trying to establish whether his killing was linked to his work as a journalist. In late January, another journalist, Jorge Ochoa Martinez, director of two local publications, was murdered in similar circumstances in Guerrero.
Four journalists have been killed in Mexico this year and 13 in 2009, according to the Inter-American Press Association (IAPA), which notes that violence linked to organized crime is spiralling in the country. "There can be no doubt that we face one of the most tragic moments in the history of the Latin American press," stated IAPA president Alejandro Aguirre.
UNESCO is the only United Nations agency with a mandate to defend freedom of expression and press freedom. Article 1 of its Constitution requires the Organization to "further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations." To realize this the Organization is requested to "collaborate in the work of advancing the mutual knowledge and understanding of peoples, through all means of mass communication and to that end recommend such international agreements as may be necessary to promote the free flow of ideas by word and image..."

Need an overnight sourdough
Do you have a recipe for white sourdough bread that has a final rise of about 8 hours? I want to bake a loaf first thing in the morning, without having to get up in the middle of the night (professional bakers must have a terrible social life).
It should probably use only sourdough for leavening, so the final rise isn't too fast. I tried doing a search but, to tell the truth, I haven't figured out how recipes are store on this website.

Apple's dominance may be one reason that Netflix is careful to point out that it is in the movie rental market rather than the digital download market.
"We see Netflix as well placed to play in the movie rental market," said Neil Hunt, chief product officer for Netflix. "If you look at the other competitors out there, there are strong players in the download-to-own market. That compares with yesterday's world where people purchased DVDs for $20 or thereabouts. We see a rental segment where they come to Netflix and rent them for $2 or $3 dollars. And we see an ad-supported segment where you get the thing delivered for no fee, but with ads stitched in the middle."
Netflix subscribers with Windows computers will be able to access to the new service at no additional cost. Their subscription plans will determine the number of hours of free online viewing available to them.
"What we've delivered today changes the business model from the traditional pay-per-view, where you have to make selection and pay a $4 fee to watch the movie," said Hunt. "The model that we're proposing is it's included with your subscription. With an $18 subscription you'd get 18 hours of movie viewing and you can spend that 18 hours to watch a few minutes of this or a few minutes of that, or you can watch a few movies all the way through."
Netflix initially will be offering subscribers 1,000 titles from its 70,000 title library for viewing through an Internet-connected PC. That's four times as many as the number of movie titles Apple currently offers through iTunes. Eventually, the company expects to add more titles and to support to the Mac operating system and other platforms.
"We want to get to all Internet-connected screens, all the way from connected cell phones to the plasma TV in your living room," said Hunt. "The PC is just the first step on the way."
It may also be a dead-end. Cable and telephone companies are racing to roll out high-speed IPTV service with pay-per-view service around the U.S. If they can manage to deliver a user-friendly service at a reasonable price -- quite a challenge for an industry insulated from the sort of customer-centric focus that has arisen among hyper-competitive Internet companies -- they may find there's a receptive audience among those who'd rather avoid the difficulties of moving content from computers to televisions.
But since Netflix isn't trying to build a bridge between computers and TVs, as Apple is with its new Apple TV media hub, its new service clearly adds value for its subscribers. And it's hard to argue with that.

OSHA News Release – Region 6
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 6 News Release: OSHA-01-81
July 10, 2001
Contact: Diana Petterson or Elizabeth Todd
Phone: (214) 767-4776, ext. 222 or 221
DALLAS-The Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Apple Fabrication Inc., in Duncanville, Texas, with four alleged violations and a penalty totaling $63,000 for exposing employees to atmospheric hazards.
The alleged violations were discovered during an OSHA investigation that began on Jan. 9, 2001, in response to a fatality. The employee was killed after being overcome by trichloroethylene vapors while working inside a steel rinse tank. The employer was cited with two willful and two serious violations.
The alleged willful violations included failure to implement the confined space entry procedures. Employees who enter and work inside rinse tanks must follow a precise series of steps to control hazardous conditions before entry. The employer also allegedly did not perform air monitoring or require employees to wear respirators. A willful violation is defined as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
The two serious violations were for not having an attendant present when employees entered into the steel rinse tanks and for not implementing procedures for summoning rescue. A serious violation is one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from the violation.
"The employer, knowing the hazards associated with the chemicals used during the tank lining operations, repeatedly allowed the employees to work inside these steel rinse tanks without using any safety procedures or equipment," said Kathryn Delaney, Dallas OSHA area director.
Employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards can call the nearest OSHA office. OSHA's toll-free hotline may be used to report workplace accidents, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers. The number is 1-800-321-6742.
Apple Fabrication has 15 working days from the receipt of the citations, to either comply request an informal conference with the Dallas OSHA area director, or contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

In college we are surrounded by nay-sayers. Each day passing people on campus I hear "I just know I'm going to fail", "I will never be able to finish in time", or "It's hopeless".

SWEDEN: H&M Q3 profit hit by weather and economy
By Petah Marian | 27 September 2012
- Q3 profit after tax rose 0.9% to SEK3.6bn
- Sales increased 7% to SEK 28.8bn
- Margins declined to 58.2% from 58.6%
Low consumer confidence, poor weather and negative currency effects hit H&M Hennes & Maurtiz's third-quarter margins and earnings, the fashion retailer said today (27 September).
H&M admitted that trading continued to be "challenging" in many markets in the third quarter - both in regards to weather and the macroeconomic climate, with austerity measures and restrained consumption. Sales in June and July were strong, while sales in August were weaker due to the "extreme heat wave" across a number of European markets.
Profit after tax increased 0.9% to SEK3.6bn (US$546.3m) over the quarter ended 31 August, as margins declined to 58.2% from 58.6% in the same period of the prior year.
Sales increased 10% in local currencies but were up 7% in Swedish krona to SEK28.8bn. Currency translation effects had a SEK200m impact on profit after financial items.
The group is ramping up the pace of expansion, with plans to open 300 stores this year, up on the previously planned 275 stores.
However, the company said it would postpone its US e-commerce launch to summer next year. It originally planned to open the site in autumn this year. It attributed the delay to developing an m-commerce site as well as intensifying preparations of its online roll out in other markets.
H&M is also working to launch its new brand '& Other Stories' in Europe during spring 2013.
CEO Karl-Johan Persson said the brand is aimed at "women with an interest in fashion, who want to create their own personal style and focuses on the total look".
The new stores will offer a broad range of shoes, bags, jewellery, beauty products, lingerie and clothes. The collections are being created by a group of in-house designers from studios in Paris and Stockholm.
Describing the results as "weaker than expected", Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Richard Chamberlain said the retailer should "regain momentum" during the fourth quarter, due to a stronger top line combined with undemanding comparable sales.
"The main risk to margins in our view is the potential need for more investments in quality to sustain the top line," he added.

The NFL draft hasn't been too kind to the Miami Dolphins in recent years.
For example, the Dolphins desperately needed to add a young quarterback last offseason, but all of the top QB prospects were drafted before they were on the clock.
And even when there are great quarterbacks on the board, the Dolphins have opted to address a different position (example: Jake Long over Matt Ryan, Ronnie Brown over Aaron Rodgers).
One of these years, the chips are bound to fall in Miami's favor. But knowing this team's luck, we should always prepare for the worst.
Here's a look at the Dolphins' dream draft and their nightmare draft.

How to Block a Number on Your iPhone
Sometimes, enough is enough. Enough with the telemarketer robocalls and spammy text messages. Enough with that one person who keeps calling the wrong number. Enough with those kids down the block making prank calls. iOS has allowed you to easily block phone numbers since iOS 7, ensuring you'll never be bothered by a particular caller again.
Block Annoying Texters
1. In the Messages app, go to the conversation with the person you want to block. Tap Details. Tap the "i" button next to that person's name or phone number.
2. Tap Block This Caller. When prompted, confirm that you want to block that person by tapping "Block Contact."
Block Annoying Callers
The process for blocking callers is similar to blocking text messages. This time, though, you go through the Phone app.
1. From the Phone app, look for the person whose number you want to block. If it's in the Recents list, tap the "i" button next to the person's name or phone number in question. To block a contact, go to the Contacts tab, then select the person you want to block.
2. Tap Block This Caller. Confirm when prompted.
When you block a caller in the Phone app, you will no longer receive text messages, phone calls, or FaceTime requests from that person or phone number.
Unblocking Callers
If you want to bury the hatchet, you can just as easily unblock a caller.
1. Open Settings, then tap Phone. You can also tap Messages or FaceTime if you want -- all three pull from the same Blocked list.
2. Tap Blocked, then tap Edit.
3. Tap the red "-" button next to the number you want to unblock, then tap Unblock to confirm.

Vermont Tap House planned for Midway Diner buildingBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | November 20,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
The former Midway Diner on South Main Street closed to make way for IHOP, but the plan has changed to bring in Vermont Tap House instead.The Midway Diner will become a gastropub instead of an IHOP.
The Rutland institution on South Main Street closed during the summer in order to make way for the international pancake house chain, but an application with the city zoning office indicates that plan has been abandoned in favor of a second location for Vermont Tap House.
Vermont Tap House, which features a menu heavy on Vermont products and specializing in wood-fired pizza, opened in Williston in August. It is owned by the same family consortium that owns the South Burlington IHOP.
Calls to the Chittenden County restaurants were referred to Sam Handy, who could not be reached for comment. Frank Trombetta of Midway Oil, which owns the Midway Diner property, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
Handy was the longtime owner of the Rutland Ponderosa and has repeatedly tried to bring IHOP to the city. He signed a lease on the Midway property in August, saying he expected to reopen it as an IHOP in November.
The Midway was opened as an iconic Pullman railcar-style diner in 1947. That building was sold and removed in 1996, replaced by the current structure, set farther back from the road than its predecessor. Midway was open around the clock for much of its history making it a favorite for local youth too young for the bar scene.
Handy signed a lease on the property in August, and the diner closed shortly after.
The city zoning application calls for interior renovations to the building.
