This Week at Pepperdine: January 27-February 2
Jan. 27, 2014
MALIBU, Calif. -A pair of Wells Fargo PCH Cup basketball games against rival Loyola Marymount - including the men's contest on Saturday in Firestone Fieldhouse - and a men's volleyball home match against BYU on Friday featuring two of the top four teams in the country highlight this week's events.
Other home contests include the women's swimming and diving team holding its final home meet with the PCSC Time Trials on Saturday, and the men's tennis against Cal Poly on Sunday.
In addition to the women's basketball game at LMU on Saturday, other road contests include the men's tennis team at Tulsa and the women's tennis team at USC and UC Irvine.
Becca Strehlow of women's volleyball opens the show, and interviews take place with Amadi Udenyi (men's basketball), Matt West (men's volleyball) and Ally Bernard (women's swimming).
Here's a look at the week's events:
Saturday: vs. Loyola Marymount (Firestone Fieldhouse), 3 p.m.
Saturday is big for the men's basketball team, as the Waves try to bounce back after a pair of road losses, get back above .500 in the West Coast Conference and keep hold of a spot in the top half of the league standings. Pepperdine will also be trying to earn a point in the Wells Fargo PCH Cup series, as the Waves battle Loyola Marymount for the 159th time in the programs' histories. The Waves have beaten the Lions at home in 14 of the last 15 years.
Saturday: at Loyola Marymount (Los Angeles, Calif.), 2 p.m.
The Waves will kick off three straight road contests as they take on Loyola Marymount in a Wells Fargo PCH cup matchup. The short-handed Waves got Keitra Wallace and Amanda Lovely back last week and are slowly getting healthy, but top scorers Bria Richardson and Allie Greenare still day-to-day. The Waves are 51-20 all-time against LMU and have a 23-10 record on the Lions' home floor.
Friday: vs. Brigham Young (Firestone Fieldhouse), 7 p.m.
#3 Pepperdine, coming off of two grueling five-set matches on the road last week, plays inside Firestone Fieldhouse this Friday against #4 BYU. After falling 3-2 to Long Beach State, the Waves will be looking to get one back in the win column. A victory against the Cougars may prove to be no small task, however, as BYU sits atop the MPSF standings with a perfect 6-0 record. The Waves will have rely on Josh Taylor, who leads the NCAA with 4.86 kills per set, as well as their team defense, which leads the nation in blocks with an average of 3.52 roofs per set.
Wednesday: at Tulsa (Tulsa, Okla.), 4 p.m. PT
After opening the dual season last week with a 2-1 record, the #12 Pepperdine men's tennis team continues the 2014 campaign with a road match at #24 Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane is 4-2, but trying to shake off a two-match skid following losses to #31 Northwestern and #37 Virginia Tech. The Waves return to Malibu to host Cal Poly at noon on Sunday. Pepperdine was just announced as the favorite to win the West Coast Conference title this season in the preseason coaches poll. Additionally, Alex Sarkissian and David Sofaer were voted to the All-WCC preseason team.
Thursday: at USC (Los Angeles, Calif.), 3 p.m.
The #48-ranked Pepperdine women's tennis team opens the dual campaign this Thursday at #6 USC. The opening weekend continues on Saturday with a visit to #38 UC Irvine. The Trojans opened their season with back-to-back shutouts versus North Texas and Saint Mary's to advance to the ITA Indoor National Championship. The Anteaters went 1-1 during the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, falling to TCU before rebounding with a 4-1 win over San Diego. The Waves boast five singles players in the ITA rankings, including 2012 All-American Lorraine Guillermo, who is listed at #19. Pepperdine's deep lineup of ranked players also includes Matea Cutura (#79), Ale Granillo (#93), Michaela Capannolo (#112) and Yuki Chiang(#117).
Saturday: hosts PCSC Time Trials (Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool), 9:30 a.m.
The Pepperdine women's swimming team hosts its final home meet of the 2013-14 season this Saturday with the PCSC Time Trials. The meet serves as a dress rehearsal for the PCSC Championship for the Waves, and gives the student-athletes an opportunity to test out different strategies and events before competing at the league meet. The PCSC Time Trials also serves as a last-chance qualifier for visiting squads. Seniors Mae Corbin, Ally Bernard, Stephanie Ertl, Kelsey Maguire and Priyanka Shah will be honored during the event as they compete in their final home meet at the Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool.

Levada says retired Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony should participate in the process of the selection of the next pope. Cardinal Levada made the comments on Monday ahead of his trip to the Vatican to help with the selection of the next pope. His comments came in the wake of a grass-roots campaign to shame Mahony into refraining from participating because of his role protecting sexually abusive priests. Mahony has been shown to have covered up for other priests who raped and molested children. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)

Consciousness should not mean, but be
O'Brien & Opie's vehicle hypothesis is an attractive framework for the study of consciousness. To fully embrace the hypothesis, however, two of the authors' claims should be extended: first, since phenomenal content is entirely dependent on occurrent brain events and only contingently correlated with external events, it is no longer necessary to regard states of consciousness as representations. Second, the authors' insistence that only stable states of a neural network are conscious seems ad hoc.

The 2016
Pick riders. Pick bulls. Win great prizes.
How To Play
Your fantasy roster will be made up of 5 riders (from 3 tiers) and 3 bulls (from 2 tiers), which you select for each event. The rider and bull scores are based on the official PBR scoring system.
The game will be broken down into two seasons:
The Ultimate PBR Fantasy game is free to play. Sign up today and draft your team.
PBR Event Scoring
A qualified ride is 8 seconds. The clock starts when the bull's shoulder or flank breaks the plane of the gate. It ends when the rider's hand comes out of the rope, the rider touches the ground, or the rider's free arm touches the bull (a "slap"). A successful ride will earn a score of 0-100 points. Scores of 90 points or above are considered outstanding.
Four judges rate each rider and each bull on a scale from 1-25. Those points are added together and divided in half to reach a rider score and a bull score of between 0-50. Those numbers are then combined to reach a final ride score between 0-100.
The bull always receives a score, even if the rider is bucked off. His score is based on his degree of difficulty. Judges look for drop in the front end, kick in the back, spin, and direction changes (as contrasted with spin, this means changes to movement forward or backward, or left to right).
A rider only receives a score if he lasts the required 8 seconds. Judges look for control - the ability of the rider to successfully counter the moves of the bull. Spurring is not required, but tends to demonstrate control, and will add points to the rider's score.
If the bull's performance is sub-par (negatively affecting the ride score) or if a foul occurs during the ride (the rider is rubbed against the chute, the bull stumbles, the flank strap detaches, etc.) judges can offer the rider a chance to take a re-ride. They will signal a re-ride opportunity by throwing a red flag into the arena.

How 700 outraged Facebook comments vanquished the 7 Sins Bar and turned it into a beloved family restaurant
Irving has always had issues with bars. It bans them, for instance.
Last year, the city council let restaurants serve slightly more alcohol than before. Some feared this would corrupt the town.
Then, on Saturday:
It looked… like a bar. It looked bad. Even worse than Pancho's, whatever Pancho's was.
What indeed? The 7 Sins Bar and its painted devil women had appeared as if conjured into that strip-mall and unsettled the citizens. They began to fight about what to do.
Some made suggestions.
Others mocked them.
And things got personal.
As the argument dragged on, speculation ran rampant.
Finally, some facts emerged.
But facts only made things worse.

French VAT increase on 1 January 2014… who pays what ?
The Amending Finance Law n° 2012-1510 (article 68) of 29 December 2012 provides for an increase in french VAT rates on 1 January 2014.
Almost all rates will change
- The intermediate rate of 7% goes up to 10%.
- The standard rate of 19.6% rises to 20%.
- The reduced rate of 5.5% changes to 5% (see summary on the Service Public.fr website).
- The reduced rate of 2.1% (for certain products and services) stays the same.
As far as services are concerned, the date of payment/collection will determine which VAT rate is applicable:
- If payment/collection occurs in 2013, the 2013 VAT rate applies;
- If payment/collection occurs in 2014, the 2014 VAT rate will apply (even if the invoice was issued in 2013).
What impact will it have for everyone involved in a conference?
1 – For learning societies and professional associations…
A change in VAT rates will have no impact on the outcome of a conference if the entire conference is subject to VAT.
20% VAT instead of the current 19.6% will apply to:
- registrations for conferences organised in France
- as well as exhibition sales/sponsoring (selling of space-only stands regardless of the nationality of the exhibitor, and selling of stands + associated services for French exhibitors).
2 – For partners…
The date of payment determines which VAT rate is applicable: if an invoice is issued in 2013 but not paid until 2014, a new invoice will be issued indicating the VAT rate applicable in 2014.
3 – For congress attendees who do not recover VAT
Case 1: The association decides to pass the VAT increase on to the congress attendees by increasing the price of registration including tax. Result: no impact on the revenue from conference registrations.
Case 2: The association decides to absorb the VAT increase by reducing the registration fees before tax. Result: reduced income from conference registrations.
Prior to 1 January 2014
After 1 January 2014
|Excl. tax
|Incl. tax
|Excl. tax
|Incl. tax
|Case 1
|Case 2
What impact will it have for associations under French law?
All subscriptions from previous years not paid before 1 January 2014 will be subject to the 2014 VAT rate.
The same principle therefore applies to conferences:
Case 1: Either the association decides to pass the VAT increase on to the member by putting up the price of the subscription fee including tax. Result: no impact on the association's revenue.
Case 2: Or the association decides to absorb the VAT increase by reducing the subscription fee before tax. Result: the association's revenue goes down.
Regarding publication services (such as magazine subscriptions), the date when the subscription is paid will again determine whether or not the new VAT rate will apply to the subscriber.
Note that if the subscription to a magazine or another publication is subject to a VAT rate of:
- 2.1 % (for instance a publication by a medium that has a CPPAP number): the rate stays the same
- 5.5% (publication that corresponds to the definition of a book): the rate drops to 5%
- 19.6% (any other publication): the rate goes up to 20%
Our advice
- Speed up or defer invoices for November or December 2013 (payment within 60 days) when possible.
- Inform partners when issuing invoices in 2013 that rates are about to change.
- Draw partners' attention to the need to amend invoices issued in 2013 if they are not paid before 2014. For clients who do not recover VAT (public authorities, non-profit associations, etc.), this rate increase will imply a price rise.
- Avoid consenting to payments by instalment over the period in which rates are changing: breaking up payments in this way will only complicate invoicing terms.
- If payment is made in instalments, issue a partial invoice for each down-payment.

Anyone know what the oldest building in Dallas is, as what the current preservation status is? And don't say it's the John Neely Bryan cabin, because that's just a replica.
Anyone know what the oldest building in Dallas is, as what the current preservation status is? And don't say it's the John Neely Bryan cabin, because that's just a replica.
Cumberland Hill School Building (1889)?
It sits directly across the street from the Hunt Tower and it seems well preserved.
1845 farmhouse at Dallas Heritage Village? Originally from near DFW Airport, though
or 1847 log house from Oak Cliff (also at Dallas Heritage Village)
You'd have to be really dedicated to history to volunteer at Old City Park to dress up in period dress and pretend like it's 1850. They can't even get it right- why is that man working in the garden? That's women's work!
I believe the Hart Furniture Building, at Elm and Harwoowd was built in 1887.
From all this we may learn that there are two races of men in this world, but only these two - the "race" of the decent man and the "race" of the indecent man. Viktor E. Frankl

Two of the oldest buildings downtown are virtually ignored and have no historic protection. Both of them are stores from the 1800s. One of the buildings is at Elm and Pearl and now houses a nightclub. It has a cast iron front - partly covered now - and for years housed Honest Joe's Pawnshop. It's in the same block with that police suppy place. The other old buildiing is in much better shape and is on Elm next to the West End Hotel. Its until recently held a hat makers supply place and is pretty much as built. Both of these are from the 1880 and 1890s and are likely not to survive. There was some discussion of moving the hatmakers supply building to old city park but its like a three story building so that would be costly. It's also interesting that Elm would up with more of these old buildings. In the old days Commerce and Main were considered the most fashionable downtown addresses while Elm was sort of across the tracks. All the best retailers and offices were on Main, then Commerce and finally Elm got the overflow. That's perhaps why some of the oldest small buildings survived redevelopment in the 1930, 40s and 50s.

Responsible long-term owners maintained the integrity of the building allowing customers to step back in time and experience early Dallas. Milliners is not protected from demolition with an historical designation, but it is eligible for local landmark status as well as listing in the National Register of Historic Places. This property is threatened by potential redevelopment at this site and its adjoining surface parking lot.

I've always liked that building. It's going to be demolished when they expand Central, correct?Originally Posted by clipper

Yep, the freeway is supposed to go right through there.
How hard is it to move a building like that? If they demolished the little shop next door could they slide this building out of the way of road expansion? Or is there no chance for the building's survival?Originally Posted by clipper
Ugh. That corner was the major crossroads for the Deep Ellum Blues & Jazz scene. Right across the street was the Tip Top club where Buster Smith got his start. Blind Lemon played on that corner. What a shame to wipe away the last building that was really there during those go-go years.Originally Posted by clipper
Indeed that whole little bock with several surviving one and two-story buildings is one of the last intact chunks of old Deep Ellum. Quite a few of the buildings were knocked down back when they put in the elevated I-45.
Honest Joe's is now . . TePheJez (sp?) or something like that. That corner is coming down? Damn. I love those buildings right there.
When is this supposed to happen?
"You look at Chicago, New York, San Francisco, you'll find lots of small businesses. But here in Dallas, they hold up big businesses and kick out small businesses, and that's not good."
There was a pdf of the new street layouts here but now it has disppeared (http://forum.dallasmetropolis.com/sh...postcount=109). They plan on converting Central into an expanded 2-way boulevard like it is a few blocks away near the Farmers Market. They also plan on turning Pearl into a 2-way street.Originally Posted by Lionel Hutz
When I went to school there is was already old.
So aren't there a bunch of buildings on the "endangered" list fr Preservations Dallas? I'm not sure what the criterie is for listing on Preservation Dallas' top list of endangered sites.
Also, we are slow at preservation in Dallas. That's why we have so many building that are "in danger" when other, older cities that know better, have managed to preserve their historic buildings.
Yes trolleygirl there are.
In fact several of the photos are mine I submitted to them on thier website, on that list the entire block of 1900 main fell to the wrecking ball this summer.
Dallas is losing quite few old structiures lately, yes we are slow to preserve our past.
That it why I do what I do with my camera

Hitting the streets with the cam
People just flat out don't understand that the music that was produced there shot all around the world -- it represents one of our most influential cultural contributions. And now we have no qualms about finishing the job they started back in the 1960s -- wiping out old Deep Ellum. No one pays attention to that little block today only because everyone thinks Deep Ellum starts on the opposite side of Central. This city kills me sometimes.
Preservation Dallas has been asleep at the wheel again.
Preservation Dallas exists in name only. The only thing they are preserving are their salaries.
how why would they demolish it for Central? it's a good block away?Originally Posted by DFWCRE8TIVE

As for Dallas being "slow to preserve it's past". Slow is not the word. "Unmoved" is more like it. In Dallas, the thrill of newer, bigger, shinier has always trumped the minute drudgery of preservation. So many opportunities have been passed up year after year. Why should it change now? All that's left are a few things that only a truly "Hysterical Preservationist" would bother with. Dallas loves it's Tabula Rasa approach. I only wish it could come up with something other than a parking lot as it's accepted Phase II for everything.
Some great comments about specific buildings and it's always great to see some preservation talk/attitudes here; sometimes this site waxes a little too eloquent about what should replace things, much like the public energies that are growing less potent, like PreservationDallas which, face it, represents foundation property holders and still has to convince property owners that it's in any way a plus to renovate or keep an older structure. I own several and there is nothing but red tape and hassle from City Code and no real tax breaks.
To return to the original question, I think it's telling that many comments focus on buildings built after the railroad expansions of 1872; any building built before then tended to be of limestone & mortar or of wood. Oddly, the oldest brick/wood structure survived until the Kennedy Memorial wiped it out, our old market. The oldest familiar buildings are hard to spot sometimes. Millermore, containing the cabin segment and additions of the Miller family, was moved from Hord's Ridge (with the Hord cabin) to Old City Park; it could be designated the oldest surviving home but it's not in it's original place. The Penn Homeplace out near Joe Pool is also that age, having developed on the site from a dogrun cabin. Some of the oldest construction surviving are the rail lines and cuts into the limestone; Preston Road runs along the oldest known road (pre-Bryan) in the old Republic between Oak Lawn and around Celina.
Examples of 1870s buildings are pretty much gone (or "inside" the foundations of buildings in the 1700 and 1800 blocks of downtown). 1880s buildings and residences are principally along/just off McKinney, and throughout near South Dallas. The Hughes Candy and Gulf Cone buildings are across from Old City Park on South Ervay; included now in OCP is the once-creepy (to my child's eyes) Gano Sisters house on its original street. The Queen City addition along Pine Street in South Dallas also has 1800-1895 homes all over it, many in disrepair or others with just the edges of their origins peeking through.
And, indeed, TePheJez sits in the attractive and threatened Elm Street block. The Butler Building, once our Trade Mart, across from City Hall is skirting revitalization; in its day it held so much stock because it was mainly cement and brick, materials that'll give redevelopers pause. The truth is, each of us can find a building that has age, and reason for survival, but history rewrites entire blocks. Nice to see Scott Dorn in this thread, check out his photos.
Love these buildings. Never seen this thread before. Just got back from New Orleans though...talking about our oldest buildings highlights how young Dallas is compared to places like NOLA!

The Caruth Plantation homestead(Caruth Haven and Central) must be the oldest standing structure on its original footprint. The first building built there around 1850 or so was a simple log cabin built from logs hauled up from White Rock Creek. That building is still there. It was added onto numerous times for another 100 years into its present form. The site is currently under construction again, to turn it into some kind of community center. I have not been there in some time to see what is going on. Never been inside either.
There are some old out buildings and small sheds that are easily 120 years old behind the house.
Most of the buildings in the quarter were built in the early 1800s due to the fires in 1788 and 1794. My home in the quarter was built in the 1830. The Ursuline Convent is the oldest building and was built in 1727.Originally Posted by DallasMan
The Gilbert House at the Farmers Branch Historical Park is supposedly the oldest stone structure on its original foundation in Dallas County........not Dallas but still. (1856)

I'm pleased to report that 18 people came out to our very first IxDG F2F in
Los Angeles, California this last Tuesday evening at the Nova Express cafe.
We enjoyed getting to know each other over Cosmic Pizzas, learning about
each other's professional situations and discussing the state of the
industry in Los Angeles.
After everybody had a chance to dine, we each introduced ourselves to the
group and spoke a little bit about what the IxDG means to us. The most
common thread was that the group is a valuable way for us to meet people who
don't return a blank stare when you say what it is you do for a living!
Further interesting discussion ensued about how exactly our profession
should be known to the world, and how we all wish we had more time to
participate in the incredibly active IxD Discussion List....
Overall, a good time seemed to be had by all, and we aim to keep building up
the local community. We had the local UXNet ambassador present, as well as
several officers of the LA-CHI chapter. Since LA-CHI has an established
meeting schedule every other month in 2005 with fun agendas already defined,
we plan to see each other there in a couple weeks. People also are
interested in having a "First Friday" sort-of occasion on the off-months in
order to gather socially.
If you missed this event but want to be in the loop on future such events in
the Los Angeles area, please don't hesitate to drop me a line!

RestrictionsFee Parking past Sherando Entrance
OverviewTechnical old school riding with big mountain feel just off Exit 96 pf Interstate 64. There's something for everyone on this loop, from strenuous hike-a-bike to fast and flowing bench cut trails. A good sampling of the Sherando Trail system.
Need To KnowNumerous creek crossings along Mill Creek trail can be difficult in high water. Most do not have a "dry feet" option in the spring.
DescriptionFrom the small parking area near the guard house, proceed north on the road up the eastern Blue Loop Trail. This short, but incredibly steep trail ascends straight up the ridge towards the Torry Ridge Trail. Mortals will walk nearly all of this rocky, rutted, goat path that will get the legs fired up right off the bat. Mercifully, this trail is short.
At the intersection with Torry Ridge Trail, turn right onto Torry. Great views along the ridgeline off both sides. Roll up and down to the intersection with Mill Creek connector. Left onto Mill Creek connector to bomb down a mix of technical rock gardens and smooth singletrack. The connector will dead end at Mill Creek Trail (not well signed!) Trail continues up and to the left.

|Just another author
Being an Author carries with it some sense of wonder and authority. As in, "Wow, someone liked your writing so much they published it." In reality, it's really more like, "Wow, someone thought your writing was good enough to sell and turn a decent profit." Semantics? Perhaps.
But what's the difference between a writer and an author? Don't they both do essentially the same thing? Is it a matter of one being more eccentric, more indy, less novice-like, more talented, confident, actually published, or is it merely a declaration of purpose that separates the Authors from the just-Writers?
Authors write. It's what they do. They don't "auth," after all, or "author" their novels, except in strange social circles where people use incredibly proper grammar and annoy the hell out of anyone nearby. At its heart, this is -- quite literally -- a matter of semantics.
To me, being an author is more about attitude than it is about writing. It is how you see and present yourself. "I'm a writer," could mean just about anything. What do you write? Articles, sports columns, blog posts, journal entries, PHP code? Anyone can write, but it requires a little something more to call yourself an author.
That "something more" isn't a published book, however -- it is an attitude. Much like a baptism, or a marriage ceremony, you're not physically changed afterward, but you have made a declaration that you are now different. You have devoted yourself to something and want everyone to know it. You want to be viewed differently.
It's decided in that moment where, when someone asks what you do for a living or notices that there is such a thing as a book with your name on it, you must own up to the fact that you write books. "I write books," you say. An author says it with confidence, proud of his work and excited to share it with others. A writer may appear bashful, ashamed, or awkward. They have no idea what to do when someone is interested. We all have these moments.
Becoming an author is not every writer's goal (dream?). It is not an evolutionary advance, and it has nothing to do with how many people recognize your name (or book title). An author is not simply a person who has written an entire book. Neither does the completion of said book mean that every sentence their fingers produce from then on is worth its weight in gold.
|Just another author
Being a writer is something you could take or leave. It's not that being an author requires commitment on your behalf so much as it demands submission to your creative impulses. It's a compulsion.
There are things you cannot do and be an author at the same time, though these things are different for each person. Much like being a professional musician, being an author requires sacrifice to that art -- whereas being a writer just requires finding the time.
There's no need to decide right now. If, however, you plan to pursue writing, you need to ask yourself whether you want to truly become an author. How much are you willing to give up to achieve that dream? Is it worth it to you?

Myrtle Kreckow, 104, of Redwood Falls died Tuesday, July 29, 2014 at Sunwood Good Samaritan Care Center in Redwood Falls. She was just two days short of her 105th birthday. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 Friday, August 1, 2014 from First Presbyterian Church in Redwood Falls. Burial will follow in the Granite Falls Cemetery. Visitation will be held July 31 from 4 until 7 p.m., at Nelson-Martin Funeral Home in Redwood Falls and will continue at the church on Friday for one hour prior to services. Arrangements are with the Nelson-Martin Funeral Service of Redwood Falls. E-mail condolences may be sent via www.nelsonmartinfuneralservice.com. Myrtle Rachel (Harbour) Kreckow, the daughter of Sigle and Hannah (Gash) Harbour, was born July 31, 1909 in Chippewa County. She graduated from Maynard High School in June 1925. Following graduation, Myrtle attended teacher training and taught rural school for one year. She then attended business college in Minneapolis in 1929 and worked in various business offices in Minneapolis until 1947. On April 23, 1939, Myrtle married Lawrence Kreckow. They lived in Minneapolis until 1948 when they moved to Northfield where they had a half interest in an implement business. In 1954, they sold their interest in the implement business and began farming in Winona County, near Utica. They then farmed in St. Croix County, Wis. for two years. In 1960, the Kreckows moved to Redwood Falls to open Engine Sales and Service and Radiator Repair. Myrtle and Lawrence retired in 1978. Lawrence passed away in 1980. Myrtle was very active in community activities. She belonged to the Senior Citizens where she served as treasurer, wrote the newsletter, and organized the Telecare program. Myrtle held several offices in the Shriner's Auxiliary and the Eastern Star. She was a volunteer and secretary-treasurer for the Minnesota Inventor's Congress, and received their Outstanding Service Award in 1992. Myrtle was also active with Share the Spirit, serving as a volunteer and chairman for the family food boxes. She loved words and spelling. Myrtle participated in several Redwood County Senior spelling bees, winning the championship in 1992 and being named runner-up in 1994. She placed fourth in the State Senior Citizen Spelling Bee in 1992. Myrtle liked to play Scrabble, do crossword and word puzzles, play cards, and watch Wheel of Fortune. She also crocheted many baby blankets, lap robes and pot holders. Myrtle is survived by her son Larry (Karyn) Kreckow of Redwood Falls; her daughter Liane (Tom) Volk of Thun, Switzerland and their sons Christoph (Julien) of Bern, Switzerland and Curtis (Nina) of Frankfurt, Germany. Also surviving are nieces Doris Smith of Mason City, Iowa, Mavis Keilen of Faribault, and Shirley Kalkbrenner of Champlin; and many extended family members. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two sisters, and three brothers. Blessed be her memory.

Photoetching metal is simple AND FUN! Etching can be used for printing processes, as an artifact of art, or for roller print embellishment. It involves a mordant (acid) to etch an image onto metal and a resist to repel the mordant. A resist can take many forms: plastic, vinyl, marking pens, duct tape, nail polish, etc. As long as it resists the mordant, the procedure will work. This technique creates high resolution images, and intricate surrounding textures that give your pieces an organic quality.
With current photocopier, digital imaging and laser printer technologies you have more design flexibility. You can add text, reverse images, and control contrast. The photoetching process we describe below essentially uses the same techniques that printmakers employ. Except we use brass, copper, bronze and silver instead of zinc as printmakers do. This process also gives you the options of soldering and making cold connections.
Why use the photocopy transfer technique?
It is important to note, however, that designs which have good contrast produce the best results. Dover Books are a great source for high quality images and present no copyright issues.
A Word about SAFETY
Nitric/Hydrochloric Acid vs. Ferric Chloride/Nitrate
Nitric or Hydrochloric Acid etches quickly but is very hazardous. Ferric Chloride and Ferric Nitrate etch more slowly and safely. Ferric Chloride and Ferric Nitrate are the preferred mordant options. Ferric Chloride works best with copper, brass and bronze. For silver, use Ferric Nitrate.
While safer than Nitric, these chemicals are still considered hazardous, so close attention to the process is important. Included in this outline are safety measures you should follow.
Ferric Chloride is available:
Ferric Nitrate is only available in crystals.
Dilution for crystals is 1 part crystal to 3 parts distilled water.
As with any hazardous chemical, Ferric solutions require careful handling. Anyone responsible for the procurement, use or disposal of these products should familiarize him/herself and others handling them with the appropriate safety and handling precautions. This information is available in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Ferric Chloride
Ferric Nitrate
Ferric Nitrate and Ferric Chloride are corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing, and do not inhale their vapors. These solutions can decompose at temperatures above 100°C (212 F) to yield toxic nitric oxide gas.
Use good quality safety glasses and a pair of well-fitting disposable gloves.
Ventilation is an important consideration. Work outside is ideal, but if you cannot work outside a kitchen or work room with an open window will suffice.
Supplies & Services Needed
Photo Transfer Process
Step 1 - Metal Prep
Begin with a piece of copper or brass no larger than 3 x 3 inches and a minimum of 20 gauge. File any corners or rough edges until they are smooth. Clean your metal with Scotch-Brite and cleanser or Penny Brite until water runs off your metal in a sheet. If you see the water beading, then clean again. Scrubbing with Scotch-Brite will serve to give the metal a "tooth" which will help the toner to adhere. Dry thoroughly with a towel and handle by the edges. For your iron to glide smoothly, you must file the edges of your metal.
Step 2 - Image Selection and Placement
Select your image from a hardcopy or a digital file, and photocopy or print it onto the overhead transparency film using a laser copier or laser printer. Images should be high contrast with visible distinction between dark and light. The grey parts in between can make it difficult for the mordant to bite. Trim your picture so that no film extends over the edges of the metal. It's best that you leave a little extra metal around the edges of the film for easy removal.
Note: Laser Printers vs. Inkjet Printers
Laser printers and photocopiers use the same kind of toner. Inkjet printers use water-soluble ink that will NOT work for this process.
Overhead transparency film: The white strip is removable after photocopying the image. It is meant as a "reader" for most photocopy machines allowing them to sense that paper is in the feeder.
Step 3 - Heat Iron and Griddle
Set your iron to the highest setting (usually linen) and your electric griddle to 250 degrees F. Depending on the kind of iron, you may have to adjust the heat. Overhead transparency film is designed to withstand very high heat, but some irons are too hot. Do some tests first.
Step 4 - Place One Piece of Paper Towel on the Griddle
The paper towel is meant to protect the griddle face, and it also keeps the metal from skating around. Don't worry about the paper burning. If you remember the Ray Bradbury Sci-Fi book Fahrenheit 451 paper doesn't burn until 451 degrees F!
Step 5 - Prepare Your Supplies
Assemble your burnisher, tweezers, Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol and paper towel and put them next to you for easy access.
Step 6 - Clean Metal and Image with Alcohol, Place the Image Down
First tear off a small sheet of paper towel and saturate it with the alcohol.
Clean one side of the metal and the TONER-side of the image with the alcohol-saturated towel.
Place the image toner-side down on the metal. IMPORTANT Make sure that when you place the image on the metal that it is still wet. This is THE trick to making the whole process work.
Squeegee out the excess moisture and any air bubbles by sliding your hand across the metal and film. It doesn't need to be dripping wet, but it does need to be wet.
Step 7 - Iron the Transparency Image to Metal
Immediately place the metal film-side up on the already-warmed paper towel on the heated griddle. Immediately place another paper towel over your piece and the iron on top of that. Let the iron sit for about one minute. Carefully iron the piece for about 20 seconds and then lift the iron. Remove the top paper towel. Hold your burnisher in one hand and your tweezers in the other. Carefully lift one corner of the film with the tweezers and see if the image has transferred to the metal. If it hasn't, replace the film and keep heating between the paper towels. Sometimes using the burnisher will help. If it has transferred, remove the film (WHILE HOT) in one smooth stroke.
Burnish your transparency film while it is hot. Begin to check that the toner has transferred to the metal.
Use your burnisher to stabilize your metal as you complete the removal process.
Voila, transfer complete! Small open spots can be touched up with a Red Staedtler pen (see Troubleshooting.) Transfer the metal to a surface that can withstand significant heat. A metal block or anvil works nicely. Once the toner is on the metal, it is very stable. I have sample pieces that have been sitting around for years that are as good as the day I ironed them down.
The transfer etch process is good even for delicate line drawings from a photocopy.
Troubleshooting the Photo Transfer
If the image smudges, then the iron is too hot. Try decreasing the temperature. The nice thing about this process is that you can scrub the image off and try again. Transference takes a bit of practice but eventually you will get it to work.
Sometimes the image does not transfer completely. This is where your Red Staedtler pen can help out. You can fill in some areas before the etching process.
Thicker gauge metal needs to be heated for longer at a higher temperature. Larger pieces of metal can work (> 4 x 4 inches) but you must raise the griddle heat and spend more time ironing.
When you first try this process, use a single image of film on each piece. Later you can experiment with multiple images. If the metal cools too much, the image will come off with the film. You can, however, do multiple images in stages.
Silver heats up fast, so watch your temperatures carefully. Remember, hot metal looks just like cold metal.
When the metal is sufficiently heated the toner will transfer. Peel back the acetate while the metal is HOT. DO NOT wait for the metal to cool down or the image will peel off.
In one continuous motion peel away the acetate with tweezers. Keep removing the film.
Touch Ups and Creative Drawing
The amazing and resilient Red Staedtler pen MUST be used for touch ups or free hand drawing. The RED ink has a special formula for resisting mordant. No other color works.
Making an "Interneg" to Include Text
Since photoetching is a "reverse" image process, lettering will be transferred backwards unless you make an interneg. An interneg is a slide with backwards lettering that allows you to transfer the text correctly. You can use one of two methods to make an interneg:
Step 1 - Layout Supplies
Now that you have an image on metal, you are ready to etch. Lay out your mordant, distilled water (for Ferric crystals, only), tub, duct tape, two-sided sticky tape, Styrofoam, safety glasses, rubber gloves, air pump, rinsing container, baking soda and ammonia.
Step 2 - Tape & Styrofoam Preparation
Tape the back of the metal with duct tape. Place two strips of double-sided sticky tape onto the other side of the duct tape. Cut a piece of Styrofoam to fit the size of your metal. Press the Styrofoam onto the pieces of double-sided tape to create a floating pontoon.
Step 3 - Prepare Etching Tub with Air Pump
Secure the air pump bottom onto the side of your plastic tub with duct tape. Why use an air pump? These cheap pumps are made to gently vibrate for long periods of time. The vibration causes the etched residue to fall to the bottom of the tub and keeps the exposed area of the metal etching continuously. DO NOT cover the air hole on the pump with tape!
Step 4 - Prepare and Pour Ferric Compound, Safety Equipment
Prepare Your Mordant. Ferric Chloride works best with copper, brass and bronze. For silver use Ferric Nitrate.
Ferric Chloride is available:
Ferric Nitrate is only available in crystals and requires dilution.
Dilution for crystals is 1 part crystals to 3 parts distilled water.
After donning your safety glasses and rubber gloves pour the Ferric Nitrate or Ferric Chloride into the tub - about 1/3 full. Try not to create bubbles. A few are okay. This should be performed in a well-ventilated area. Outside would be great but in a kitchen or work room with an open window will suffice.
Step 5 - Insert Piece into Solution, Start Pump, Record Time, Begin Etching
Carefully lower the metal into the solution with the image-side DOWN. The Styrofoam will act like a pontoon and insures that the metal is continuously submerged. On the Styrofoam pontoon, write the time you began the etching. Close the lid and plug in the pump. Etching should take about 45 min to 1.5 hours, depending on the depth of the etch you desire. The longer the piece is submerged, the deeper the etch.
Step 6 - Check, Rinse & Remove
Check the progress of the etching every 30 minutes. Have a separate empty container nearby. Pull the metal out and take it to a sink. Rinse thoroughly with tap water. The small amount of ferric chloride isn't enough to harm the sink. Flush with water and rub your finger along the metal to see how the bite has taken. If you need more time, drop it back into the tub.
Step 7 - Neutralize and Stop the Process
Etch done? Pull your piece out of the etchant, drain well and bring it to the sink. Hold the metal under running tap water or submerge it in clean water and pull the duct tape off while in the water. The water protects you from the acid splashing back. Pull the duct tape off in one motion and everything will come off smoothly.
If you are satisfied with your etch fill a container with tap water and about a handful of baking soda. Place your piece back in the container to neutralize the residue on your etched image. Wait until it stops foaming – about a minute. Rinse well with tap water. Refill the tub with a little more tap water. Add about 1/8 cup of ammonia and put the piece back in the tub. This acts as a stop bath for the mordant and completely arrests the etching process.
Clean the metal with the Penny Brite or cleanser and use the Scotch-Brite pad. This will scrub off the last of the toner. Now you are ready to use your etched piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What kind of mordant etches what kind of metals?
A. Ferric Chloride etches copper, brass, and bronze. Ferric Nitrate etches silver.
Q. Is the procedure any different with silver than it is with copper?
A. The protocols for etching copper and silver are exactly the same.
Q. What is Penny Brite?
A. Penny Brite is an excellent copper cleaner that is made from citric acid. It leaves no greasy residue behind and is the recommended cleaner for this process.
Q. How do the chemicals arrive?
A. Ferric Chloride can come in crystal form or pre-mixed, ready-to-use. Ferric Nitrate comes in crystal. Lists of suppliers are below.
Q. How do I mix the chemicals?
A. 1 part Ferric crystals are mixed with 3 parts distilled water. Make sure you ALWAYS add the crystals to the water only.
Q. Can I use regular tap water with the Ferric bath?
A. No. The chemicals in tap water vary from city to city. Use distilled water. However you can use tap water to rinse and clean.
Q. How do I dispose of Ferric Chloride Solution?
A. Contact your local Hazardous Waste Disposal Company
Ferric Nitrate and Ferric Chloride are corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing, and do not inhale their vapors. The solution can decompose at temperatures above 100°C (212 F) to yield toxic nitrogen oxide gas.
Q. Where can I purchase Ferric Chloride, Ferric Nitrate and Copper Cleaner?
A. There are a few sources out there. Ferric Nitrate is often used as a patination for sculptors.
Etching Compound - Ferric Chloride or Ferric Nitrate
Copper Cleaner - Penny Brite
Penny Brite has been a premium, traditional copper cleaner in American homes since 1947. It is specially formulated to clean copper, stainless steel and brass with instant cleaning action – no rubbing or buffing. Its anti-tarnish formula helps metal maintain its shine longer!

Fed's Rosengren: If Economy Falters, Fed May Have to Do More
In an economy still surrounded by storm clouds, the Federal Reserve should be prepared to offer even more support to growth if the economy falls short of expectations, a U.S. central bank official said Wednesday.
The policymaker, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren, said he "strongly and unequivocally" supported the Fed's decision last month to press forward with its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying stimulus program, because recent data has proved disappointing.
"Most of the risks to the outlook remain on the downside," the official said. Should the economy pick up as officials predict, there should be "only a very slow removal of accommodation over the next several years," Mr. Rosengren said. But he also cautioned that "should the economy unexpectedly slow down, we can and should provide more accommodation than is currently anticipated."
Mr. Rosengren also said if the economy doesn't pick up like the Fed expects, "we should not reduce the monetary policy accommodation. Doing so risks slowing the sectors of the economy that have shown the greatest strength: the interest-sensitive sectors that have been most responsive to policy actions," Mr. Rosengren said.
The official's comments came in a speech given before the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce in Burlington, Vt. His speech followed by two weeks the Fed's unexpected move to not change its stimulus campaign.
Financial markets had broadly expected the Fed to pull back on the effort, as a first step toward ending the purchases by next year. In the wake of the Fed's decision, a number of central bankers defended the surprise move as clear evidence they make their decision based on economic data alone. But some Fed officials felt the central bank had blundered and given its policy making credibility a black eye.
Mr. Rosengren has long aligned himself with those who support aggressive action, and his take on the economy in his speech was downbeat. He said the Fed refrained from bond buying cuts because of "disappointing" economic data seen ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Also staying the Fed's hand: uncertainty created by the budget showdown in Washington, as well as rising interest rates that threaten to hurt performance in parts of the economy where things have gained ground the most, he said.
For the Fed to start pulling back on stimulus, Mr. Rosengren said "we need to see data that compellingly suggest that over the next three years we are indeed on a path to reach full employment and 2% inflation."
Because data is unpredictable, Mr. Rosengren warned that the Fed may not be able to provide a lot of guidance about its upcoming actions. "Our fundamental reliance on data in policymaking may result at times in less signaling, before FOMC meetings, about small changes in the purchase program," he explained.
Ahead of the September FOMC meeting, officials at the heart of the decision making process, most notably Chairman Ben Bernanke, never said that the gathering would be a turning point for their bond buying policy. Market expectations, however, broadly expected a pull back.
Many blamed the Fed for this breakdown. They cited a time table Mr. Bernanke laid out in June for potential bond buying cuts. Others pointed to meeting minutes from a Fed meeting over the summer that indicated the market outlook for Fed policy was broadly in alignment with the views held by central bankers.
Mr. Rosengren said he went into the FOMC meeting with an open mind and hearing the comments of his colleagues was useful in clarifying what he believes the Fed needs to do. He noted, "Fed actions are not determined by Wall Street's expectations of what we might or should do."
The official said, in response to an audience question after his speech, that the current shutdown of the federal government could, if it continues, cut off the flow of data the Fed needs to make policy at its October FOMC meeting.
"It is going to be much harder to get a gauge of what's happening with the economy" if the government stays shut, Mr. Rosengren said. "We will have data from the private sector," he said, "but if we don't have good, reliable government statistics it will make it much harder to be able to take a gauge of what's going on."
As policymakers go to their next meeting, he said, data for September and October will be important, and if it doesn't exist, it would be hard to make the call to change the pace of stimulus.

Very disappointed in tournament organizers....
Our 13-14 year old team signed up to play in a 15U tournament based on 2013 age with high school rules. Our team never played the first team that was the same age as our kids. The game we played was against a team that had 5 sixteen year old boys on it according to the teams coach. The second team was a high school JV team and the last team we played was the high school varsity team.
We traveled 150 miles to watch our boys (8th and 9th graders) play against juniors and seniors. I would not recommend this tournament nor any other tournament that the organizers of the tournament host.
Mr. Organizer you need to cancel any tournament you don't have the teams for and refund fees.
I am giving the tournament a one star rating for day 2 umpires and that is it.......

Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 2 years ago
Williams (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve, the Chiefs' official site reports.
An injury settlement may be coming, as Williams was merely competing for one of the final roster spots before hurting his shoulder in Thursday's preseason finale.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 2 years ago
Williams was forced out of Thursday's preseason finale with a shoulder injury.
While Williams is off the fantasy radar in most cases, if his shoulder issue is anything other than minor, it will hamper his chances of making any sort of impact in the Chiefs' offense (which will be without wideout Dwayne Bowe in Week 1) out of the gate.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 2 years ago
Williams (hamstring) worked as the No. 3 wide receiver with the first-team offense in Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals, Herbie Teope of Chiefs Spin reports.
Junior Hemingway and A.J. Jenkins were both inactive for Thursday's game, leaving Williams to work as the No. 3 by default. There isn't much of a ceiling to reach in this offense, but the No. 3 spot on the depth chart is up for grabs, with at least three players seemingly in the mix.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 2 years ago
Chiefs WR Kyle Williams (knee) is healthy entering training camp.
Williams tore his ACL for the second time in as many years in November and underwent surgery in December. He appeared in one game for the Chiefs after being claimed off waivers from the 49ers. ESPN Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher expects Williams to get a chance to win the slot receiver job vacated by Dexter McCluster, but he'll be competing with Junior Hemingway and rookies Weston Dressler and DeAnthony Thomas.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 2 years ago
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he expects WR Kyle Williams (knee) to be ready for training camp.
Williams is rehabbing from his second ACL surgery in the last two years, so his camp status remains questionable despite Reid's comments. Even when healthy, Williams is a long shot to make Kansas City's roster. Williams appeared in just one game with the Chiefs last season after being claimed off waivers and was re-signed on a one-year, $730,000 contract.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 2 years ago
Chiefs re-signed WR Kyle Williams.
The Chiefs claimed Williams off waivers from the 49ers in November last year, and he tore his left ACL a week later. Williams has now torn his left ACL twice in his NFL career. He'll be a long shot for Kansas City's 53-man roster.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 3 years ago4 Comments
Chiefs WR Kyle Williams tweeted that he tore his ACL and is done for the season.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 3 years ago
Chiefs claimed WR Kyle Williams off waivers from the 49ers.
Williams was waived on Tuesday after losing his starting job to Mario Manningham. He caught just 12 passes for 113 yards in nine games (five starts) with the 49ers and will be reunited with QB Alex Smith. Williams will be no higher than the No. 4 receiver in Kansas City and remains off the fantasy radar.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 3 years ago1 Comment
49ers waived WR Kyle Williams.
Williams "started" five of the 49ers' first nine games at receiver, but caught just 12 passes for 113 yards. He was also dead last in the league in punt-return average. Williams was a fringe NFL talent even before tearing his ACL last Thanksgiving, so it was extremely surprising how much time he got with San Francisco's offense. He's unlikely to draw much interest on waivers. The 49ers are moving forward with Mario Manningham opposite Anquan Boldin.
Kyle WilliamsWR NYJ (11) 3 years ago
Kyle Williams was added to the Week 10 injury report with a knee injury.
Williams practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as probable, so it's not a major concern. With Mario Manningham set to return this week, Williams is going to lose considerable snaps opposite Anquan Boldin in two-wide sets.

A Slow Slog Higher for Stocks
S&P thinks market has a little further to run before major indexes run into some key areas of resistance
From Standard & Poor's Equity Research
The major indexes posted decent gains last week after a low-volume pullback in the preceding week. The path of least resistance looks higher for the near-term, in our view. Bond yields fell below key resistance at 4.8%, while crude oil dropped slightly below $70 per barrel.
We believe the stock market has a little further to run before the major indexes run into some key areas of resistance. For the uptrend to continue, it will be very important how the market deals with this overhead supply, in our view. The S&P 500 has moved into a minor area of chart resistance between 1300 and 1326. The cyclical bull market's closing high was 1325.76 on May 5, while the intraday high was 1326.70 on May 8.
On the downside, the index appears well supported. Trendline support, drawn off the recent lows, sits at 1295. Chart support begins in the 1280 to 1290 zone, with more substantial support not too far underneath this range. The 50-day exponential moving average lies at 1280 while the 65-day exponential average and the 200-day simple average come in at 1278.
The S&P 500 is somewhat overbought on a very short-term basis, but is not overbought from an intermediate-term basis. The 6-day relative strength index (RSI) hit 80 recently, which is somewhat overbought. However, the 14-day RSI has only moved as high as 66 since the rally started, and this is not considered overbought. The 14-day RSI has traced out a series of higher highs and higher lows since May, a positive in our view, and is above 50, which we think is another plus.
From a longer-term perspective, the 14-week RSI is sitting in neutral territory, and has plenty of room to move higher before it gets to overbought territory. The worry about the weekly RSI as well as the weekly moving average convergence/divergence is that for the most part, they have traced out a series of lower highs and lower lows during the last couple of years, indicating that momentum is weakening from a longer-term perspective. This is suggesting potential trouble for the equities market down the road, in our view.
The Nasdaq faces a much more difficult road, in our view, as we believe the index sits below a much larger area of overhead supply. Decent short-term resistance sits in the 2200 area from a trendline drawn off the peaks in April and May. There is also minor chart resistance in this zone. A 50% retracement of the correction also lies in this area. But the more substantial piece of resistance begins up near 2233. This is a piece of chart resistance from a bottom of an area that the Nasdaq traded in earlier this year. A 61.8% retracement of the correction sits right above this level at 2237.
The Nasdaq 100 is also faced with a similar piece of overhead. For the QQQ's (Nasdaq 100 Tracking Stock), chart resistance is pretty thick right at the 40 level. Chart support, from the recent reversal pattern, starts at 2164 and runs all the way down to 2020. There is a concentration of moving averages that lie between 2107 and 2175, and they also represent potential supports for the Nasdaq.
For the most part, sentiment got very oversold during the June/July time period, and we believe this set the market up for the latest advance. Bearish sentiment on the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) poll rose to 57.8%, the highest reading since February 2003, while bullish sentiment fell to 23.9%, the lowest since April 2005. This occurred during the week of July 21, as bearish sentiment overwhelmed bullish sentiment by 33.9 percentage points, the widest spread since February 2003. Bullish sentiment on the Investor's Intelligence (II) poll fell to 35.6% in June, the lowest since October 2002, while bearish sentiment rose to 37.1% in August, the highest since March 2003. During the week of June 23, sentiment was at a standstill with bulls and bears both at 35.6%. This was the first time that bearish sentiment was as high as bullish sentiment since October 2002.
So, we have seen sentiment reach bearish extremes that have preceded major market moves higher. We believe for the market to continue higher, we need an unwinding of this bearish sentiment. In other words, we would like to see the bears throw in the towel and quickly move back to the bullish side of the fence. Unfortunately, that has not happened yet. During the final market low in March, 2003, bullish sentiment fell to 39.8% and bearish sentiment rose to 38.2%. As the market came out of that low, the bears quickly turned bullish and in just 5 weeks, bullish sentiment rose to 51.1% and bearish sentiment fell to 30.3%.
Since June 2006, we have only seen a small uptick in bullish sentiment and a miniscule drop in bearish sentiment. The same thing can be seen in the AAII poll during early 2003. Bullish sentiment exploded from 21.1% to 63% and bearish sentiment plunged from 57.9% to 19% in just 9 weeks. Since the peak in bearish sentiment in July, 2006, in the AAII poll, we only have 5 weeks of subsequent data, but so far, bullish sentiment has only risen to 39.4% and bearish sentiment has only fallen to 37.4%.
Other sentiment indicators are not confirming the AAII or II polls, however, and this may suggest that the market has not completed a longer-term bottom. For instance, the MarketVane poll has shown fairly high levels of bullish sentiment throughout the last couple months, despite the recent weakness in the market. The MarketVane poll hit a high of 73% bulls early this year, and only fell to 55% during the middle of June. During major market lows, this poll will frequently fall to 30% or below. The Consensus poll fell to 40% bulls in mid-July, well above levels usually seen during major lows. For instance, in October 2004, bullish sentiment dropped all the way to 24%. One sentiment indicator that is signaling outright caution is the OEX put/call ratio. As opposed to most other put/call ratios that are used as contrarian indicators, OEX option players are considered to the "smart money", and therefore, their actions have many times been correct. In other words, it is usually bullish when the total put/call ratios are high. However, when the OEX put/call ratio is high, it is considered bearish and a good warning sign. The 15-day OEX put/call ratio hit 1.74 on August 31, the highest this ratio has moved to since August 31, 2000, which just happened to correspond to a major peak in the market. Often, when there are so many opposing forces at work with respect to sentiment, or any other market indicator, the market will stay rangebound until more indicators start to line up together.
The 10-year Treasury bond yield fell to 4.73% this week, the lowest close since March 27. The 10-year yield has now dropped 52 basis points since the end of June, or 46 trade days. This is the steepest drop in yields over a 46-day period since June 2005. Bond yields have clearly broken down and reversed to the downside, in our view, after taking out trendline resistance drawn off the yield lows since June 2005. Long-term trendline support, off the yield lows in 2003 and 2005, comes in around 4.4%. There is also a layer of chart resistance in the 4.4% to 4.6% range. Stepping back, yields have traded in a massive base over the last six years between 3% and 5.5%. Yields also remain in a very long-term downtrend that started in 1981. The recent failure to break strongly above the 5.25% level kept this very long-term trend intact.
Crude oil prices finished last week at $69.19 per barrel, the lowest close since June 20. It is no surprise to us that both bond yields and oil prices are breaking down, as lowered inflationary expectations from the drop in crude prices aid the bond market. Many times, these two markets tend to move together over the long run. It appears that crude oil prices are headed for an important test of the $68 to $68.50 area. A sharp break of this zone of support would end the series of higher highs and higher lows that has been in place since 2003.
Longer-term trendline support comes in at $66, with the bull market trendline (drawn off the lows since the uptrend began) sitting at $62. Weekly momentum is not yet oversold, and we believe this gives more room on the downside for oil prices.

Rivastigmine for Alzheimer's disease (French version)
The use of cholinesterase inhibitors in people with Alzheimer's disease has long been a focus of interest and concern. In this podcast, Jacqueline Birks, a researcher from Oxford, England, reports the results of an updated systematic review studying the benefits and harms of one of these agents, rivastigmine, including a novel mode of percutaneous administration.

My wife and I cosigned loans with our daughter and we made a $391.23 payment to Sallie Mae on 07/23/2013. The $391.23 was made to cover July and August and nothing has been applied to any of the loans. We are receiving 3 or 4 calls per week from Sallie Mae asking for payment.
Sallie Mae is charging us additional interest and fees for non payment when in fact we have paid $391.23. All we want is for Sallie Mae to apply the $391.23 remove the added interest and fees and we can move forward.

What was there response when you told them you already paid? It was probably "We didn't receive it". In that case, all you have to do is provide proof - a cancelled check, the confirmation number if you paid online, or a credit card bill showing you charged it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
