Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - February 25, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa The Cedar Rapids Gazette: Hon., Feb., 25, 1974 Supplementary Pension Plan Draws Fire from Rep. Curtis Warren Curtis By Frank Nyc DES MOINES A supplemen- tary pension plan for employes' of the Iowa banking department would cost the state ?59 million! a year if it covered all of Iowa's more than public em- ployes. That's the word from State Sen. Warren Curtis (R- Cherokee) who is hopping mac that the senate recently passec the supplementary plan with- out waiting for the legislative committee that is studying state pension plans to report its find ings. The plan, contained in SF 327, was passed by the senate 35 to 14 on Feb. 14. But it has been held in the senate by a motion to reconsider filed by Sen. Earl (D-Des Curtis asked some actuaries to figure how much the plan would cost if every public em- ploye could get in on it. To Confront Senate Armed with the million a year figure they furnished, he aims to let the senate know about it when Willils1 reconsid- eration motion comes up. Curtis told tbe senate daring the first debate on tbe bank- ers' plan that it was being set up purely to help bank ex- aminers "who are nothing more than auditors." A certified public accountant himself, Curtis said he know all about auditors and that there is nothing more holy about them than other public employes. If a banking department audi- tor is entitled to a pension sup- plementing the benefits he is ac- quiring under U.S. social securi- ty and under the Iowa Public Employes Retirement System Curtis said, then a state insurance department au- ditor is entitled to the same con- sideration. Several Meetings Curtis heads the legislative pension study committee of seven members. It was author- ized by the 1973 legislature and appointed by the legislative council last summer. The committee has held sev- eral meetings and- Curtis thinks t should be heard from before any more supplementary plans are started. He pointed out that in addi- tion to IPERS, which covers more than public em- ployes, the state's judiciary has a pension plan of its own as do stale peace officers, and local police and firemen in larger municipalities. Faculties anil staffs at board of regents institutions also have a pension plan of tbeir own which Curtis de- scribed as ''the very best" of all. Curtis wouldn't bother the re- gents' plan, but he'd like to improve the others. "I feel there is great disparity among the various he told- The Gazette, "both as to contributions by the employing unit and the employe and as to ;he benefits paid to retired peo- )le under these programs. Investment Purposes "I think the study committee should leave the regents' plan alone and should try to develop improvements for each of the other plans, especially as far as PERS is concerned. "I would like to bring thei poses." Curtis pointed out the there is a total of ?5QO million IPERS now and it is earning u wards of million a ye; through investments, mostly government bonds and rnunic pals. The last legislature a thorized those handling 1PER investments to use up to 25 pe cent of available funds for i vestment in other than bond and municipals but only 8 pe cent has been invested in otb things such as variable a nuities and common stocks i: to now. Curtis' committee mm report its findings and recon mendations to the next legisl ure. His committee includes Senators John Nystrom (R Boone) and C. Joseph Colonial and Reps. C.

S. congress Mike Blouin said here Saturday that the present system which allows automatic' congressional pay raises should be modified. "As it is now, congressmen are able to grant themselves pay hikes without ever taking a said. ''Such an arrangemen does not encourage fiscal re- sponsibility and it does not do much for congress' saggin; credibility with the public. Blouin made the statemen while campaigning Saturday in Winneshiek county in his bid fo Ihe Democratic nomination fo the Second district seat being vacated by Rep. John Culver. Blouin pointed to the proposa now before congress to increasi the salaries of representatives and senators by 22 percent ovei the next three years. The Nixon administration has submitted a bill which would hike congres sional salaries to by 197G. Blouin said that under the present system for federal pay unless congress votes no o accept the increases, the; vill become automatic by Uarch 6. "Many congressmen lave admitted, at least for the >enefit of their constituents hat the increases are irrespon- sible, but efforts to organize congressional support to defeal he hike have been unsuccess- Blouin said. "We should re-examine the of the clause which makes "ongressional pay raises auto- matic and does not require con- jressmen to vote on the mea- Blouin said. "At least for he sake of accountability to the ublic, legislators should have o take a definite stand." 'Ban the Can' Battle Threatened in House By Kriblelle Petmcu DES MOINES (UPl) The sponsor of controversial legisla- tion to "ban the can" in Iowa said Monday she will stage a floor battle if necessary to gain consideration of her proposal. Rep. Mary O'Halloran (D, vote on the Blouin Cedar Falls) said she will call load Unit Begins Speed Sign Change AMES (AP) The Iowa state ighway commission crews londay began changing the peed limit signs beside pri- nary ant) interstate highways o conform to the new 55 miles er hour speed limit. The new speed limit law oesn't take effect until March but commission crews must iiange the numbers on more han signs adjacent to the miles of primary and in- erstate highways by Friday. Highway Director Joseph Cou- al said he expects the work to e finished barring a snow- torm by Thursday, a day efore the law takes effect. for suspension of the rules to the measure out of com- mittee and force it onto the floor." She said the bill is also sought by many rural lowans who are tired of having their farmyards littered by passing motorists. The bottle bill, which would prohibit use of all non-returna- ble containers, was drafted by Miss O'Halloran last session, but stalled in committee by op- ponents. Rep. Litter Control Dennis Freeman (R, the natural resources commit- tee, said he opposed the bill because of the "endless head- it would cause retailers in the state. Freeman has in- troduced what he calls "less absolute" legislation increasing Ihe taxes on certain commonly littered items and calling for stiff penalties for littering or allowing trash to accumulate on personal property. Freeman said he was against 'discriminating against one in- dustry" which lie claimed Hie bottle bill would do "by placing the burden for collection and recycling on the grocers." He said a "comprehensive litter control plan" as provided in his proposals which require all mo- torists, cyclists and boaters to equip their vehicles with trash cans would be "the logical start- ing point." However, Miss O'Halloran said her bill which would ban pop-top cans and all other metal containers, would "provide the greatest incentive to reduce lit- ler as well as promote energy conservation and create many jobs." "Of course, it will cause some grocers storage she Rep. Mary O'Halloran Storm the chairman of said, "but we have to make some decisions now about the storing of masses of litter on our highways, farmyards and front lawns. This is in the public interest." It now costs the state 20 cents to pick up each discarded con- tainer along the highways, Miss O'Halloran said, and "it is the responsibility of lawmakers to stop this and address them- selves directly to the energy question." She said her propos- al, which also calls for tiie es- tablishment of r e d e m p t i o n centers to recycle bottles, has been endorsed as "sound legis- lation" by the Iowa department of environmental quality. Opposition Despite strong opposition by Iowa retailers associations to the bill, Miss O'Halloran said lawmakers cannot continue to "ignore the bad economics of throw-away containers." She said the landslide shift to non- returnables has increased the unemployment rolls and forced a number of small breweries and bottlers out of business. "This bill would allow lowans to set up their own recycling centers and would provide lots of said Miss O'Halloran, who noted all containers would have refund values ranging from two to five cents. Mix-Up Is Reported in Ray's Nomination Papers 3y Harrison Weber Iowa Daily Press Assn. DES MOINES There has been a mix-up on Gov. Robert Ray's nomination papers. It seems that in the rush to get some nomination papers in the hands of Ray's supporters, the printer erred. The heading on the nomi- nation papers mailed out last week states that in order to sign them a person must be of the same political party as the candidate. Since Ray, a Republican, is seeking his fourth term as governor, a person would like- wise have to be a Republican. But that form went out the window when the 1973 legis- lature passed the election re- form law which allows any "eligible elector" to sign a candidate's. nomination pa- pers. This means an "indepen- dent" could sign the nomina- tion papers of a Republican, Democrat or any other rec- ognized party. Although it may well be that Ray's nomination papers meet statutory requirements, just to make sure he quali- fies a, new set of nomination papers will be circulated to some of his supporters. Since only signatures are required, the second set of nomination papers won't be circulated as widely as the first batch. And aides to Gov. Ray say they still want people to sign the original nomination peti- tions so they have the names in their files for possible use later on in the campaign. The secretary of state's of- fice will provide nomination papers to candidates free of charge, but lately a number of candidates have taken to printing their own r.omina-. tion papers so they may in- clude their picture or some other special indemnifying matter. Guard Changes Camp To Conserve DES MOINES, ad- jutant general of the Iowa na- tional guard says a majority of Iowa units will train at Camp McCoy in Wisconsin this sum- mer instead of Minnesota's Camp Ripley. Maj. Gen. Joseph May says the move is designed to save fuel. Camp Ripley is located in central Minnesota, while Camp McCoy is about 80 miles from the Iowa-Minnesota border. An Iowa national guard spokesman said Sunday that one-third to one half of the state's military vehicles will re- main in Iowa so that guardsmen will use vehicles already at the Wisconsin facility.

Great for lunch!
By botin on 9/24/2009
What a cute and unexpected treat! I had time to grab a quick lunch, and I chose one of the daily specials (tomato, basil, red onion salad). They substituted delicious ricotta cheese for the mozzarella that was supposed to come with the salad and it was delicious - very fresh! The pastas looked great too, next time... The staff are super friendly and helpful, I'll definitely be going back.

Best mozzarella ever
By bolesen on 11/3/2011
I come all the time for dinner. The staff is very nice and the pasta is great. I love the Linguine Grotta Azzurra because I love lemon and start every meal with the tomato salad with the homemade mozzarella - trust me it is to die for... Wine selection not too great, but that is more than made up for in atmosphere and all the extras. You always get a fruit treat before you leave which is a nice touch. The decor would probably have been better in Capri than New York, but it is nice and clean. I have really never had a bad meal there.

*Not* BYOB
By carochinha on 8/22/2012
We arrived with a lovely bottle in hand and were told they did not nor had they offered BYOB service. I was surprised and said that NY Mag, Yelp and other sites claimed they did. The server gave a pause and said the restaurant's website said there was no BYOB. Actually, they have no website. We left which was too bad, since the ambiance was cozy and the menu promising. But a bad start spoiled our enthusiasm. We had a lovely meal elsewhere. Ratings are required before this post can be published, therefore please disregard them as we actually didn't dine there.

Netanyahu, Livnat Threaten to Quit Unless Poll Held on Pullout
Ministers, NRP give Sharon 14 days to decide on referendum on pullout plan; Olmert: This is an unfair and dishonorable maneuver.
Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Education Minister Limor Livnat both threatened on Tuesday evening to quit unless Prime Minister Ariel Sharon agreed to hold a referendum on a pullout from Gaza.
They said that Likud ministers Yisrael Katz and Dan Naveh would also quit if a decision is not made on the poll within 14 days.
The announcement came minutes after the Knesset approved Sharon's disengagement plan.
"We ... have decided to give the prime minister two weeks to announce a referendum, and if not, we will not be able to see ourselves as staying in this government," Netanyahu told reporters in parliament, minutes after legislators approved Sharon's Gaza withdrawal plan.
Netanyahu told reporters that the group of ministers does not want to topple anyone, but only wants to give a chance to unity within the Likud party. Livnat reaffirmed what no one in the group wants to topple Sharon, and added that she only hopes the prime minister will accept the plea for a referendum, which is shared by most Likud MKs.
"I believe that the prime minister will go for a referendum and we can all do the right thing, if not, we have to say enough, is enough," Livnat said.
Deputy Prime Minister and Trade and Industry Minister Ehud Olmert called the threats "an unfair and dishonorable maneuver."
Ealier Tuesday, Social Affairs Minister Zevulun Orlev (National Religious Party) announced that his party would quit the government, unless Sharon decides to hold a referendum on his disengagement plan. The NRP also gave Sharon 14 days to make a decision on the nationwide poll.
Orlev's announcement came after he met with Netanyahu and Livnat to work out a deal to keep the NRP in the government. The NRP's six MKs all voted against the plan on Tuesday evening.
Orlev told reporters that he had assured Sharon that the party would remain in the coalition until the next general elections (currently set for 2006), whatever the results of the referendum.
The Yesha Council of Settlements also signed the NRP's pledge.

Located deep within the anterior hip joint and lower spine, the psoas major(usually just referred to as the psoas) is critical for optimal postural alignment, movement, and overall well being. The psoas is the only muscle in the human organism that connects the upper body to the lower body, and its importance extends to the nerve complex and energy systems. As modern-day populations grow more sedentary, psoas-related lower back and hip pain, and the ailment of "sitting too much," are on the rise. Even the most active of athletes can suffer from psoas imbalance and pain. The Vital Psoas Muscledemonstrates how to keep the muscle in balance through specific exercises designed to strengthen and utilize this amazing muscle, and discusses its vital role in the emotional and spiritual state of the human being. The interconnection between the psoas and the root chakra is explored, along with yoga poses and postures that stimulate the psoas. Eighty full-color illustrations depict anatomical details, and show the key stretching and strengthening exercises in this practical and comprehensive treatment of the most important skeletal muscle in the human body.

The HS30EXR and "Live View"
I'm taking a little poetic license with the term 'live view', but my question concerns seeing what an image will look like prior to actually taking the picture.
When shooting in Manual mode should I be able to see the image changing in the view finder or LCD, as I'm changing either S or A values, prior to actually taking the picture? The values of S and/or A change in the VF or LCD, but the image itself remains the same no matter how much the range of S or A changes. It seems like the only way I can see what the picture will look like, is to actually take the picture and then view it. This seems like I'm left with a purely trial and error system when in Manual mode. What am I missing here?
Help much appreciated.

Arts, History Program Set at Ligonier Valley Landmarks
reports, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
A daylong program titled "The Arts and History Through the Valley" will be presented Sunday at six Ligonier Valley historical and cultural landmarks.
Antiochian Heritage Museum, Compass Inn Museum, Fort Ligonier, Ligonier Valley Railroad Museum, Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art and Valley Players of Ligonier (Ligonier Theater) will participate.
Antiochian Heritage Museum, located on Route 711 north of Ligonier, will showcase the architecture of ancient Christian Syria and will feature a visit with a live camel. An exhibit, "Structure and Symbolism in Stone," includes photographs taken during American archaeological expeditions to Syria about 1900, including those of elaborately carved doorways and fifth-century churches. Cookies for children and carrots for the camel will be available. The museum will be open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
The Compass Inn Museum will offer a "Weed Walk" and stroll around the museum grounds. The authentically restored 1799 stagecoach stop located on Route 30 east in Laughlintown will be open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $9 for adults and $6 for children 6 to 16.
Fort Ligonier, an 18th-century British fort and museum located at the intersection of Routes 30 and 711, will feature a portrayal of George Washington by Dean Malissa, reprising the role he plays at Mount Vernon, the estate near Washington, D.C., where the first president resided. Drills, musket firings and interactive living history programs will be provided by the Detachment of the 60th Regiment (Royal Americans) encamped at the fort. …

I decided a couple of years that I would like to make children who are the victims of domestic violence to feel special. These children are taken out of their homes and have to go to a school where they have no friends. I worried that the children in the school could tease the newcomers because they don't have a place they call home.
To help these children feel good about themselves, I decided to knit hats which I donate to the Rape and Assault center to distribute. Each hat is different, colorful and fun. I hope that instead of the other children making fun of them they would walk up to them and say "where did you get that hat", which would immediately make that child feel special.
Each year at Christmas, I donate a dozen or so hats.

A judge raised bail from $60,000 to $600,000 for a Las Vegas casino worker Friday after she was identified as the prime suspect in a child's killing.
LAS VEGAS — Police suspect a casino worker killed a 10-year-girl before going to a Las Vegas resort and allegedly slashing the face of a co-worker with razor blades.
The search for Jade Morris ended Friday afternoon when officials confirmed it was her body found a day earlier in an undeveloped housing tract.
The Clark County coroner's office said the girl died of multiple stab wounds.
Jade was last seen Dec. 21 with family friend Brenda Stokes Wilson, who picked her up to go Christmas shopping.

Wilson, 50, returned the car she had borrowed for the outing to a friend two hours later. Jade never came back. Investigators later found blood on the driver's door and steering wheel of the 2007 Saab sedan.
Later that night, Wilson was wrestled to the ground with razors in each hand after allegedly slashing the face of a female co-worker at the Bellagio casino.
A judge raised her bail from $60,000 to $600,000 Friday morning after she was identified as the prime suspect in the child's killing.
"It's no secret the defendant is the suspect in the murder of 10-year-old Jade Morris," Prosecutor Robert Daskas told Senior Clark County District Court Judge Joseph Bonaventure at the hearing.
Later Friday, Las Vegas police homicide Capt. Chris Jones said investigators were moving forward.
"As soon as we get all the evidence in that we need, we'll book her on the murder charges," he said.
Wilson has been jailed since the 21st on felony battery with a weapon, burglary and mayhem charges that could get her decades in prison.
Police said she offered no help in the search for the missing girl. Murder and kidnapping charges could get her life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
On Thursday, Las Vegas police responding to a 911 call found a girl's body in unkempt brush near palm trees in a small traffic circle about 10 miles from the downtown Las Vegas outlet mall where Stokes was to have taken the girl shopping.
In court Friday morning, Wilson stood flanked by eight police officers as her lawyer, Tony Liker, clutching a Bible and a copy of the charging documents, asked the judge to postpone arraignment until Wednesday to give him time to meet with Wilson.
Wilson, who had been identified by police and prosecutors as Brenda Stokes, told the judge Friday that her full name was Brenda Stokes Wilson.
Jade's father, Philip Morris, was removed from court Wednesday by armed court officers after shouting questions about his daughter's whereabouts to Wilson. He did not attend Friday's hearing.
The two dated for several years, and Jade had a long and trusting relationship with Wilson, according to the girl's grandfather, Philip Tucker.
Tucker said Philip Morris lived in Billings, Mont., and worked at a Flying J truck stop for more than a year. He would stay with Wilson when he visited Las Vegas, Tucker said.
Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the slaying. But Tucker said Wilson appeared to believe the face-slashing victim had become romantically involved with Philip Morris.
Wilson picked up Jade for their shopping expedition around 5 p.m. Later, she got a ride with a friend to the Bellagio. She allegedly attacked her co-worker, Joyce Rhone, around 9:30 p.m.
Rhone, 44, was hospitalized with deep cuts on her face, including one from her ear to the edge of her mouth.
Wilson told investigators she visited her doctor last week, seeking to be admitted to a hospital "due to feeling like she wanted to hurt someone."
Associated Press writers Hannah Dreier and Michelle Rindels contributed to this report.

Enchanted forests can be places of fairytales, romance, mystery, splendor or adventure – and sometimes all four at the same time. Whether you need enchanted forest decorations to stand on their own or to incorporate into another theme, you'll find everything you need at Shindigz. Let guests make their entrance under a rustic arch with vines and lights weaving around it. You'll find this gorgeous gazebo, as well as delicate LED trees, intricate candle stands and ivory birdcages that are perfect for pillar candles, in our enchanted forest theme kit. It's easy to change the gazebo's appearance with different decorations and fabrics over the years, making the kit a great investment for organizations with annual fund-raisers or schools with regular formal dances. What started as part of an Alice in Wonderland theme can easily work its way into Arabian Nights or the Old South in future years.
No matter your theme, style or preference, you'll find just the props, backgrounds and accents to execute exactly what you're envisioning. A colorful balloon tree is just the thing to add humor and whimsy. It's also a great touch for a Wizard of Oz theme – it's easy to imagine the Scarecrow peeking around its trunk. A reed-thin tree, bare-branched except for green or white LED lights, gives off a soft glow and an upscale ambiance that's fantastic for a city scene or a wintery tableau. A cardboard tree silhouette evokes images of the forest at night and creates a great background for photos. Go deep into the forest with a bare-branched tree – its thick branches are perfect for stringing lights at night or hosting butterflies during the day.

Insiders are still buying this stock although small nibbles. Some level of comfort for the investors and certainly no negative to it..http://www.prontosec.com/secdata/dailyReport.htm?rparam=btDjffcjfcTKhAxEE
Absolutely not. And as I stated before, I think Seacoast management is doing as good a job as possible navigating through this situation. The perfect storm of external factors are just overwhelming.
Check the 13D filings on the Seacoast website. Go to Regulatory filings. Terry Maltese, a main ivestor purchased $41,183,550 into his personal and company investor accounts. Some into Cayman Island accounts. CapGen also bought a large amount. With them buying and the directors from Seacoast buying, I think something is in the works. A 13D filing is for a major investor that sould take control of the voting powers. The Seacoast directors don't seem concerned or else why would they buy stock. As soon as Seacoast repays their tarp money, there should be a pop. This stock moves well at low volume levels. I am all over it.
Somebody needs to explain to me how any Florida based bank survives based on the following from the Mortgage Bankers Association on 8/20:"Florida continues to establish itself as the worst state in the union for mortgage performance, closely followed only by Nevada. In Florida 12 percent of mortgages were somewhere in the process of foreclosure, the highest in the nation, and another 5 percent were at least 90 days past due as of the end of June. A total of 22.8 percent were delinquent at least one payment or in the process of foreclosure, which is almost twice the national percentage if the Florida numbers are excluded." How does Seacoast possibly justify a 4% loan loss reserve when 12% of mortgages statewide are in foreclure, another 5% are headed that way, and Martin Co. is probably in worse shape than the state as a whole? And we haven't even gotten to commercial loans yet.It's simple math and the numbers do not add up to me at all. Even with all the new capital, how does Seacoast survive this?

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is
implementing a plan to waive debts for thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina and other disasters.
An aide to Sen. Mary Landrieu, who has been briefed by FEMA, said the agency will mail out roughly 90,000 letters next week to inform disaster victims that they may be eligible for waivers.
Last year, the agency sent out debt notices in an effort to recover more than $385 million it says was improperly paid to victims of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005.
Officials said people are eligible for waivers if they earn less than $90,000 a year and a FEMA error was responsible for the improper payment.

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that the radio station is only available in The Episodes of Liberty City disc? I paid 20 dollars for TLAD and will be paying another 20 for TBOGT, but if I want to listen to the radio station I have to pay another twenty for a radio station and an extra game that I already own. It doesn't seem like too big of a deal at first, but why should the people who have a hard drive and already bought Lost and Damned get less features in the new game? If I had known they would release them both on a disc, I never would have bought TLAD, or a hard drive for that matter, I would have just waited. Thoughts?

Quick check in. Gravel sites but seemed level. Pull thru sites for big rigs. Good WiFi. A really nice gated grass area for pets to run around without a leash. Plenty of grassy area behind, in front and between sites. Picnic table and a tree at each site. Park is not overcrowded at all and it's super quite. Staff is super friendly and really cared that we had a good stay. Even offered to give us a ride to the Chevy dealer in town where we were having our tow car serviced. We would definitely stay here again. - EggerMar

We stayed in this campground because it was close to our daughters house and we came to visit our new grandson. We stayed for 3 weeks. The camp hosts are very nice and helpful and I would give the little campground a 10 but can't due to the conditions of the bathrooms.The bathrooms are very primitive and dirty. One toilet had no seat, one sink was broke, no soap or paper towels. The showers offer little privacy, have push button knobs, no where to set your things and there were cigarette butts and old toilet paper on the floor. YUCK! We stayed in a treeless, gravel pull through. The space was huge and clean.They due have nice sites with trees but they aren't as big. Wi-Fi worked good but had terrible TV reception. Nice, quaint little park but if you stay here definitely bring your own potty and shower. - Bolt

The park was very quiet and clean. Sites were very easy to pull onto. Location is close enough to Carbondale SIU and several wonderful wineries in the area. - Debkay2u

MoneyShow's Tom Aspray often uses Fibonacci analysis to
determine likely entry points and profit targets for his Charts in Play
recommendations. Here, he uses a few recent examples to examine more closely how
he establishes these preferred buy levels.
In determining whether a market is likely to go up or down, I first look at
the monthly, weekly, and daily charts. This step often is enough for me to
determine which ones need more careful analysis.
In the second phase, on-balance-volume and relative performance analysis play
a primary role, though other technical tools are often also used.
Once I find a market that I think has a high probability of going up or down,
then further work must be done in order to determine an entry level, potential
stop, and price objective.
I come across a number of markets each week that I think show a good
potential to rise or fall 10% to 15%, but they are dismissed as they do not
present any reasonable risk strategy at current levels. Often, I will determine
that risking 5% to make 10% to 12% is not worth it.
When I am looking to buy or sell a market that is correcting against a major
trend, Fibonacci retracement analysis plays an important role in helping me
determine a possible entry point, as well as a profit objective.
In this article, I would like to review some current as well as past markets
to show you the process that I use to identify a market to trade, and how
Fibonacci analysis is included to determine not only entry but also exit
Since the start of the summer, I have been watching the gold market, as I was
aware of the seasonal tendency for it to bottom in the latter part of July.
Since the highs in September of 2011, I have been looking for a correction
within the major trend that would last long enough to reverse the extreme
bullish sentiment that prevailed last summer.
href="#"> src="http://graphics.moneyshow.com/Newsletters/TEBiwkly/September2012/lesson06_1_med.gif">
Click to Enlarge
The major support level for the SPDR Gold Trust ( href="http://stocks.moneyshow.com/intershow.moneyshow/quote?Symbol=GLD">GLD)
that I identified soon after the top was the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support
level at $140, which was calculated from the October 2008 low of $66 and the
September 2011 high of $185.85.
For those who are not familiar with Fibonacci analysis, a violation of this
level would have indicated a further decline to the major 50% support at $135.
(To learn more, read href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/31/TEbiwkly08-24112/Fibonacci-Analysis:-Master-the-Basics/">Fibonacci
Analysis: Master The Basics.)
Next: Confidence in the monthly OBV
The fact that the monthly href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/31/TEbiwkly08-23770/OBV:-Perfect-Indicator-for-All-Markets/">on-balance
volume (OBV) had confirmed the highs in September 2011 made me confident
that a major top was not in place. As of the end of August 2012, the monthly OBV
had moved back above its WMA which is a positive sign.
GLD made a low of $148.27 on December 29 (missing my buy level of $148.20),
then rallied 17% over the next two months. The sharp reversal on March 1 and the
poor volume on the rally suggested that the corrective period for gold prices
was not over.
href="#"> src="http://graphics.moneyshow.com/Newsletters/TEBiwkly/September2012/lesson06_2_med.gif">
Click to Enlarge
In May, the sentiment had become more negative, which href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/25/Charts09-27872/Has-Gold-Formed-a-Bottom/">suggested
the worst of the correction was over.
On June 8, after GLD had rallied to a short-term high of $159.20, href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/25/Charts09-28149/Are-Gold-Bulls-Throwing-in-the-Towel-/">I
recommended going 50% long at $152.42 and 50% long $150.28, with a stop at
$147.28 (meaning a risk of approx. 2.6%). This first buy level represented a
point between the short-term 50% and 61.8% support level, while the second level
was just above the psychological support at $150.
I wanted to give the position enough room under the December low of $148.27
so as to not get stopped on a quick downdraft. I was concerned that a decisive
break of the December lows could lead to a test of the major 38.2% support
In the past week, GLD has overcome the downtrend on the
daily chart and completed the triangle or href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/25/Charts09-24382/Profit-from-Flag-Formations/">flag
formation (lines a and b). The ability of GLD to overcome the 38.2%
Fibonacci retracement resistance sets the next upside target at $167, which is
the 50% retracement level.
The key 61.8% level is at $171.50, which is not far below the significant
chart resistance from November 2011 and February 2012 in the $174 to $175.46
area. The daily OBV has broken through the resistance (line d) that goes back to
last November. The weekly OBV (not shown) also indicates that an important low
is in place.
A daily close above the 50% and of course the 61.8% retracement resistance
would further support a move to new highs. The 127.2% Fibonacci retracement
target on the monthly GLD chart (see figure 1) is at $196, and that is where I
would be looking to take some partial profits.
GLD is a tough buy here, as the first minor support is in the $157 to $158.50
area (line c) with further levels at $154.80. Therefore, the risk of buying now
is a bit too high for my liking. If the rally stalls near current levels, a
setback into this support zone over the near term should set up a new buying
opportunity. Sentiment has quickly turned more bullish, so this is a
In my opinion, it is more likely that GLD will test stronger resistance
before the first rally phase is completed. The next daily sell signals should be
followed by a correction back to the 38.2% to 50% support level, where
additional buying can be done.
Next: Using the longer term OBV and RS
I have found that using the longer-term OBV and href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/31/TEbiwkly08-23452/Spot-Leaders-and-Losers-with-RS-Analysis/">RS
analysis can be one of the best ways to determine whether a correction is a
buying opportunity or not. Specifically, I look for the monthly OBV and RS
analysis to confirm a major new high, and then develop a strategy to buy on the
href="#"> src="http://graphics.moneyshow.com/Newsletters/TEBiwkly/September2012/lesson06_3_med.gif">
Click to Enlarge
Amazon.com ( href="http://stocks.moneyshow.com/intershow.moneyshow/quote?Symbol=AMZN">AMZN)
is a good case in point. Its correction from the 2007 high of $101.09 had a
classic a-b-c pattern, and at the end of January 2009 (line 1), the monthly RS
line moved back above its WMA. The relative performance confirmed the 2007
The monthly OBV formed higher highs in 2007 and 2008 (line c), and had a
strong uptrend (line d) from the 2007 lows. The OBV was already back above its
WMA as the overall market was bottoming (line 1).
The rally from the lows at $34.68 lasted until April 2010, as AMZN reached a
high of $151.09. This was just above the 161.8% target from the 2007 to 2008
correction, which was at $142.62. The 127.2% Fibonacci retracement target at
$119.49 was hit 11 months after the lows.
href="#"> src="http://graphics.moneyshow.com/Newsletters/TEBiwkly/September2012/lesson06_4_med.gif">
Click to Enlarge
AMZN dropped to a low of $106.01 in June
2010, which was just below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support from the 2008
low of $106.62. The weekly chart of AMZN shows that this decline also tested
trend line support (line b) and prices were also close to the weekly href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/31/TEbiwkly08-25975/Buy-Sell-or-Wait:-A-Way-to-Decide/">Starc-
There were several bullish factors heading into these lows that favored
having resting buy orders in the market. The monthly OBV and RS had been
confirming the price action and had long-term bullish patterns. The weekly
analysis also suggested AMZN was correcting, not topping, and the RS line had
formed a continuation pattern (line c and d).
The weekly OBV was holding well above its flat WMA in June and was forming
higher lows (line f), unlike prices. Typically, I look to buy at just above the
38.2% support, and then try to do additional buying below this support.
For the stop, using one under the 2007 high of $101.09 as well as the
psychological support level of $100 was a reasonable approach. Under the 50%
support at $92.89 was too wide. Round-number stops are a bad idea, but a stop of
$99.28 should have been wide enough to protect against any transitory breaks of
the $100 level.
As for the buy level, 0.5% above the 38.2% support at $106.62 would have
worked out to be $107.15. As for a second buy area, the mid-point from the high
of $101.09 and the 38.2% support at $106.62 would be $103.85. This would work
out to an overall risk of 5.9%.
With the upside target, I prefer scaling out of long positions, as it helps
reduce the overall risk to the portfolio and can be positive psychologically.
Selling just below the prior high of $151.09 would have been a valid approach.
My main target would have been the 127.2% Fibonacci retracement target from
the $151.09 high to the $105.66 low, which was at $163.45. Therefore, attempting
to sell at 1% to 0.5% below this level, say at $161.80 to $162.60, would have
been the plan.
As it turned out, AMZN eventually exceeded the 161.8% Fibonacci retracement
target at $179.17, eventually reaching a high of $191.60 in January 2011. (For
my current Fibonacci analysis of AMZN, see href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/25/Charts09-29033/Upside-Targets-for-Apple-and-Amazon/">last

Next: Let's look at Macy's
For the final example, let's look at Macy's ( href="http://stocks.moneyshow.com/intershow.moneyshow/quote?Symbol=M">M), href="http://www.moneyshow.com/trading/article/25/Charts09-28522/Is-it-Too-Early-for-Retail/">which
I recommended on July 11. The stock had peaked in early May at $42.17, and
the new highs were confirmed by the monthly as well as the weekly RS and OBV
Looking at the rally from the August 2011 lows, the 38.2% support was at
$34.66, and had already been decisively broken in June. The 50% support was at
$32.35, with the 61.8% support at $30.04.
href="#"> src="http://graphics.moneyshow.com/Newsletters/TEBiwkly/September2012/lesson06_5_med.gif">
Click to Enlarge
Despite the corrections in June, the RS line had held well above its
long-term uptrend (line b) and the OBV also held above support. The daily chart
shows that the low at $32.31 came on July 12. The daily relative performance did
not confirm the lows, as it formed a short-term positive divergence.
The daily OBV bottomed in June (line e) and also formed a bullish divergence
at the lows. The major upside targets were the prior high of $42.17 and then the
127.2% Fibonacci retracement target at $44.67.
A week after longs were established, Macy's had surpassed the previous swing
high, confirming a bottom. By early August, the weekly OBV had moved back above
its WMA.
The 50% retracement resistance from the April high was surpassed in early
August, and just a few days later the 61.8% resistance was also being
challenged. With earnings out in just a few days, I then decided to recommend
selling half the position. The earnings were strong and Macy's rallied further
on the report.
Though the market is now much higher, I felt comfortable taking a quick 14.6%
profit, as the overall market was not looking that strong and an earnings
downdraft can never be ruled out. If the technical readings for the overall
market had been stronger I would have been more likely to hold on to the entire
long position.
I hope this lesson will give some of my regular readers a bit more insight
into how I come up with my recommendations. In my daily column, I often do not
go into as much detail, and thought it might be helpful.
I have found over many years that Fibonacci levels give my analysis an
additional degree of discipline and have often kept me out of trouble. In the
past few years, I have also learned quite a bit from href="http://www.personsplanet.com/" target=_blank>John Person about his
unique method of pivot-point analysis. When his pivot points and the Fibonacci
analysis identify the same price levels, one has an even higher degree of
Even if you are trading or investing based on the daily charts, take the time
to look at the weekly and monthly analysis, as I think it will help you in the
long run.

Officials on Ocracoke hope its major road will be open to all traffic quickly after Hurricane Earl dumped sand on the highway.
Hyde County spokeswoman Jamie Tunnell says N.C. Highway 12 on Ocracoke Island is open to four-wheel-drive traffic from the village to the ferry landing. She says the state Transportation Department hopes to have the road open to all traffic later Friday.
Reopening the road will help island residents, but visitors can't reach it yet because ferry service hasn't been restored. Tunnell says state officials are waiting for clearance from the U.S. Coast Guard to resume ferry service between Swan Quarter, Cedar Island and Ocracoke.
The road on Hatteras Island is closed, so ferry service between Hatteras and Ocracoke can't resume until that part of the road reopens.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon's exit detailed
Chesapeake Energy Corp. confirmed Thursday it is treating CEO Aubrey McClendon's impending departure as a termination without cause, not a retirement.
The difference could be called a matter of semantics, but it is worth up to $60 million to McClendon.
McClendon, who co-founded the company with former partner Tom Ward in 1989, would owe Chesapeake about $11.25 million if he retired, according to regulatory filings. The amount represents the balance on McClendon's $75 million bonus from 2008.
Instead he is due to receive about $47 million in severance pay, benefits and accelerated equity compensation since his separation from the company is treated as a termination without cause under his employment agreement.
"He will be entitled to termination compensation and benefits accordingly," the company said Thursday in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Chesapeake spokesman Michael Kehs said the $11.25 million payback does not apply to McClendon's departure from the company.
"This was a mutual decision between Mr. McClendon and the board that Mr. McClendon would retire from the company," Kehs said Thursday. "Under the specific terms of his contract, there was no recoupment unless Mr. McClendon unilaterally decided to leave the Company or was terminated with cause; neither situation applied here."
Chesapeake's 2012 proxy detailed several scenarios under which McClendon might leave the company, including termination with cause, termination without cause, retirement, incapacitation and death.
Each of those scenarios has a different payment amount attached to it.
Oppenheimer analyst Fadel Gheit said it appears Chesapeake tried to dress up McClendon's departure in deference to his time at the company he co-founded.
"He obviously did not leave on his own," Gheit said. "He was pushed out. He was terminated."
Gheit said Chesapeake might come to regret its lack of clarity in announcing McClendon's departure.
"They could be subject to shareholders lawsuits here," he said. "Obviously it's a very gray area."
McClendon, 53, has been dogged by questions about the mingling of his personal businesses with Chesapeake's since Reuters reported last spring that he had secured more than $1 billion in loans against his stake in company wells.
The ensuing shareholder unrest resulted in McClendon being replaced as board chairman by former Conoco executive Archie Dunham amid a shake-up that left Chesapeake's two largest shareholders in control, with four other seats on the board.
McClendon remained as CEO, but the board's audit committee began an extensive review of his personal finances.
That still-pending review, which has not revealed any improper conduct by McClendon, was not the reason the company and the only chief executive it has ever had decided to begin searching for a new leader, according to Tuesday's announcement.
McClendon will leave the company on April 1.
Editor's Note: Chesapeake Energy Corp. spokesman Michael Kehs has further clarified information in this story. Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer, President and a director until the earlier of April 1, 2013 or the time at which his successor is appointed. McClendon will leave the company on April 1, 2013. Also, under terms stated in Chesapeake's proxy, McClendon could have been required to repay up to $11.25 million of his $75 million bonus in 2008 if his departure were considered a unilateral decision to retire. Because it is considered "termination without cause," McClendon instead will receive severance pay, benefits, and accelerated equity compensation of about $47 million.

I only know the basics of Chinese Mahjong. I don't know any of those special combos that make absolutely no sense if you don't understand the meaning behind each tile. I think I also know a little bit about Japanese Mahjong by noticing the differences between Japanese and Chinese Mahjong. I'm just assuming some of the rules of Japanese Mahjong from watching other people play.
Correct me if I'm wrong but do you use something called Riichi in Japanese Mahjong when you are in tenpai and it acts as some sort of multiplier when you obtain a winning hand?

When we hear the word "purpose," we tend to think about striving to reach a certain goal in the future. "There is another kind of purpose that has nothing to do with time," explains Eckhart Tolle. "This is your primary purpose—to be here fully in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment remains paramount." With Finding Your Life's Purpose, Eckhart presents a two-session program on making the transition from "thought-based" living to the realization of presence as the foundation for all you do, exploring:
"You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that—that's what life wants with you," teaches Eckhart. Finding Your Life's Purpose is an invitation to a new way of being, free from conditioned patterns of reactivity and unhappiness, and aligned with the greater intelligence of the universe itself.
©2009 Eckhart Tolle (P)2011 Eckhart Teachings
"An engaging speaker."
Mr. Tolle is a thoughtful speaker. I haven't enjoyed his books as much as his talks which are witty and deeply felt.
"profoundly outstanding"
He has come so close of nolonger being human but instead mostly spirit. A voice of great reason
"Transformation of purpose"
Eckhart's profound insight into life's purpose completely shifts my perspective! If a person truly listens they can be transformed!
Anything by eckhart t o l l e
How about change myself
"A wonderful sharing of his teachings"
It is always enjoyable to hear Eckhart share his teachings with a live audience. His ability to help us laugh at ourselves is priceless. You won't be disappointed.

I tiptoe through the night, scared for even my sweat to make the slightest noise as it drips off my face and onto the ground. I am not thinking of anything at the moment but my survival and how my life will be once I am free of the Soviet grip around my wrists. My heart feels like it is breaking through my ribs and protruding out of my chest with every breath I take as I run faster and faster towards the barrier that has incarcerated me over the years.
As I throw myself over the eleven-foot concrete wall with barbed wire at the top, I can hear gunshots all around, and I pray they are not intended for me. I hit the cold, hard ground on the other side, but I am not even close to being safe any time soon. I am in no mans land now. I would be better off asking for someone to shoot me than to make it out of here alive. I have only one chance.
At least that is how I imagined it would have been like if I were in trapped in the tribulations of East Berlin trying to escape into the desired West Berlin between 1961 and 1989. However, it is a gray December day in 2004, and if it weren't for remains of the Iron Curtain and Checkpoint Charlie, people would not be able to relive that part of history or be reminded of the dictator that destroyed so many lives.
The temperature was eight degrees Celsius as the gloomy sky attempted to cough up snow onto Berlin. Before that moment I had only heard of the Berlin Wall through history books and stories. I would sit and listen to travelers tales told by my courageous father who had walked through Checkpoint Charlie and into East Berlin in seventy-five. He told me how he had to exchange West Berlin money into East Berlin money at Checkpoint Charlie before entering East Berlin. Then going back into West Berlin he had to drop it in a rusty tin can at Check Point Charlie because you were not allowed to keep East Berlin money. He witnessed two tourists getting assaulted by the guards for trying to smuggle East...

Romney pushes attacks against Obama into Ohio
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of caring more about his own job security than about creating jobs for millions of unemployed Americans. While pressing his case against the Democrat, Romney showed no sign of caving into mounting pressure for him to release more of his tax returns.
Campaigning in Ohio, a state key to the political fates of both contenders, Romney said the president in the past six months has held more than 100 fundraisers for his re-election campaign and no meetings with his jobs council.
Romney is trying to portray Obama as out of touch with the economic pain afflicting millions of people, including those who go to work every day, while hoping to shift the focus from his personal finances and business record.
"His priority is trying to keep his own job, and that's why he's going to lose it," Romney declared, building off fiery speeches in Pennsylvania the day before in which he accused Obama of believing government is more vital to a thriving economy than the nation's workers and dreamers.
Having spent most of Tuesday courting donors across Texas, Obama spent Wednesday at the White House. His wife, first lady Michelle Obama, was speaking at a campaign fundraiser in Birmingham, Ala. Obama was heading out Thursday on a two-day campaign swing through Florida.
Democrats have pressed for the release of more of Romney's tax returns and have hounded him about discrepancies over when he left his private equity firm, Bain Capital.
In his appearances, Obama has sought keep Romney focused on matters other than the sluggish economy, even releasing a single-shot TV ad Tuesday that suggests Romney gamed the system so well that he may not have paid any taxes at all for years.
"If you're going to run for president, it's not necessarily comfortable but it has become a tradition and it's an important one, you make your tax returns available because you think the American people deserve that kind of transparency," Obama spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at the White House on Wednesday.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, took a rare step into the presidential race Wednesday, saying Obama's criticism of Romney's career and taxes are meant to distract from the administration's handling of the economy.
Boehner said Obama's questions are an "attack on the private sector" and show he "doesn't give a damn about middle-class Americans who are out there looking for work."
Boehner also warned those, including fellow Republicans who increasingly are calling on Romney to make more of his past tax returns public.
"The American people are asking, `Where are the jobs?' Boehner said. "They're not asking where the hell the tax returns are. It's not about tax returns, it's about the economy."
Carney said there was no specific reason why the president and the jobs council haven't met for six months.
"The president has obviously got a lot on his plate," Carney said. "But he continues to solicit and receive advice from numerous folks outside the administration about the economy, about ideas that he can act on with Congress or administratively to help the economy grow and help it create jobs."
Obama's campaign, in a web video released Wednesday, questioned Romney's claim that he had "no responsibility whatsoever" at Bain Capital after February 1999, when Romney says he left the firm. SEC filings list him as sole owner and CEO through February 2001.
After being on his heels for several days, Romney launched an aggressive counterattack this week, punctuated by biting speeches, conference calls and a TV ad Wednesday accusing Obama of "crony capitalism." The ad says Obama sent stimulus money to "friends, donors, campaign supporters and special interest groups" and charges that taxpayer dollars went to projects in Finland and China.
