I just spoke to a friend, Skinner Layne, who is from Arkansas, but now lives in Santiago, Chile. He emigrated there and is now heading a startup enterprise that is showing great promise. It is called Exosphere. I asked him about the backstory to the company. It turns out that he moved in 2008, six months before the U.S. real estate markets blew up. He left to escape the worst of it.
How did he know that the downturn was coming? His answer came quickly: "The yield curve inverted."
I was just reading about this very indicator in Mark Skousen's new book, A Viennese Waltz Down Wall Street. Here, Skousen, investor and economist, explains how the teachings of the Austrian School provide some excellent rules of thumb that allow us to anticipate, and act on, the big turns in the business cycle.
In the Austrian view tracing back a century ago, interest rates indicate the preference for goods sooner, rather than later. If you don't have the money to get the stuff, you borrow for some period of time. Borrowers pay a higher rate if their payback term is longer. That's because the risk is higher — who knows what's going to happen in 30 years? — and lenders expect a higher payoff to wait longer for their money. So naturally, the yield curve should show lower overnight rates than five-year, 10-year, or 30-year rates. That's why the normal yield curve is positive — that is, upward sloping to the right.
What does it mean for the yield curve to be negative? It's a bit like water running uphill. You can be pretty sure that there is some seismic shift going on. Usually, it means a Fed tightening. Or it could mean that investors are expecting bankruptcies in the future. It is highly predictive of a coming recession.
When it happens, you can also be sure that hordes of television pundits and economists will emerge to say that there is nothing unusual here. It is a perfectly normal thing, and it's even healthy — certainly nothing to be alarmed about.
My friend Skinner knew better. How? He had been reading the work of F.A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises for years. He knew that there are certain constants in economic forces that do not change, no matter what government does. In fact, government and central bank attempts to manipulate the market can have exactly the opposite effect of the advertised results.
TV pundits are quick to agree with everything the Fed does. To spot the policy errors requires special knowledge that comes from reading sound economics.
That doesn't mean that once you learn economics, you can predict the exact timing of events. In fact, this is also one of the observations of the Austrian School: There are no predictable quantitative relationships in the world of human action. This too differs from the mainstream view, which is forever seeking the magic formula to predict price movements.
I like the way Skousen describes financial markets. He says that prices in markets are like a dance. There are patterns and habits at work. But there are also surprises and improvisations going on. That's part of the spirit of dance too. But the crucial thing here is that it takes two people to coordinate their moves in a dance, just as in markets, it takes buyers and sellers to make a price. Financial markets bring people together to their mutual benefit.
Nice image, isn't it? It's one that he elaborates on at length. In the course of his argument, he criticizes other points of view that don't account for human decision-making and don't account for the parameters of those decisions as set by economic reality. For example, just as dancers can't start flying, markets can't sustain parabolic price increases in one sector forever, even with Fed intervention.
Why did Skinner choose Chile as his home? Well, he knew it to be the most pro-enterprise country in Latin America, at least so far as he could tell. His reading in the Austrian tradition helped him see why this is important.
And he likes Latin America because it is the new world and doesn't have economies bogged down by bad habits and massive welfare and regulatory bureaucracies. There is far less sludge in the system to harm economic growth. For this reason, he is very bullish on the whole region — and bearish on the U.S. and Europe.
This too reminds me of something else explored in the Skousen book. He discusses how institutions affect economic growth and can help people make better predictions about coming economic booms. A regime that is friendly to free enterprise might lower taxes or cut regulations. Even a little bit helps. Economies are like sponges for this stuff. Just a bit of encouragement — or, more precisely, just a bit of relaxation of the fetters — can spark huge economic booms.
This is why Skousen strongly suggests following the politics of a country to understand its economic future. He goes so far as to slightly scold fellow Austrians for holding a permanent bearish view on economies. He says that this point of view causes investors to miss economic booms such as, say, those in the 1980s and 2000s. And he is right to this extent: If your goal is to play the markets, it makes sense to be able to discern their upside, as well as their downside.
Monetary policy figures in here substantially. As Skousen says, an economy without a huge debt overhang that is emerging from rough economic times can find itself on an upswing if the Fed is pumping money at a rapid pace. Under this rule, you might have bought stocks in 2009. The problem is that this approach to economic policy cannot last. It creates new problems that cry out for correction. The tricky thing is to be able to spot the turning points.
What do Austrian economics imply about today's precarious situation? Well, the Fed is making loud noises about pulling back its stimulus program. If the drug of new money is cut off, we could see short-term rates rise and blow up the balance sheets of many businesses, not to mention governments.
The beauty of the Austrian School is, fundamentally, this: It sees economics as an extension of human choice. There is nothing mechanical and predictable about it. But there are certain patterns that emerge just from the logic of human action itself. Skousen's purpose here is to elucidate that logic and illustrate it with examples from the business pages. The results are interesting: You can gain insight into both worlds. In this book, the rubber of finance truly does meet the road of economics.
I'm intrigued at the confidence with which my friend Skinner took the step to move. Five years later, he has a thriving business and a happy life. He only did it once he had intellectually seceded from mainstream thinking. But just as important, he did it with the aid of solid economic thinking.
Now with Skousen's book A Viennese Waltz Down Wall Street, anyone can gain access to that knowledge. A selection like this makes a mighty contribution.

Development of a blood screning assay for diagnosis of prion diseases in humans
For many decades, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) was thought to be transmissible among humans only via contact with infectious nervous system tissue. However, recently it was shown that variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is transmissible by blood donation. The transmission of the disease occurred in the incubation period of the donors, which demonstrates that this route is highly efficient. Precautionary measures such as leucodepletion and donor deferral increase the costs of blood and blood products, reduce the donor population, and might lead to shortage of available blood products.
Undetected subclinically infected blood donors bear a great risk for secondary vCJD transmission, persistence and or even spread of vCJD epidemic within the human population. This demonstrates the urgent need for a screening method, which is applicable and repeatable in easily accessible tissues and fluids such as blood.
There is a need to identify new biochemical markers, since conventional tests require brain autopsy or biopsy and surrogate markers are often positive in advanced disease stages only. A test in blood would be more favourable for diagnostic purposes and as a screening assay in blood donors. It needs to reflect disease pathology in the early stages and therefore be able to indicate a prion infection. The tests may be based on PrPSc detection or on surrogate markers reflecting the reaction of the organism to the disease process.
The development of such assays requires the study of cell culture systems and animal experiments under controlled conditions. They have to be verified on human biological samples, which are collected at early disease stages. The goal is the development of a test using multimodal approaches such as detection of disease-specific early markers or abnormal protein aggregation. This work will be directed towards the identification of specific interacting partners on a protein, mRNA and DNA level.
The amplification of the abnormal prion protein by PMCA (Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification) is one of the most challenging methods. Particularly with regard to the prevention of artefacts, this method demands much effort to achieve accuracy in discriminating between the normal and abnormal prion protein. Furthermore, the identification of putative prion protein interaction partners may include a risk potential. The instability of some proteins and the occurrence of high abundant proteins, which can mask other proteins, are possible sources for the production of unspecific artefacts. Due to the sensitivity to protein degradation of human fluids, the storage and handling of the samples must be consistent.
The aim is the development of easy applicable tests for prion diseases in humans and potentially in animals. A suitable blood test can be used for diagnostic purposes, whereas a screening assay will be a relevant tool for the analysis of blood samples.
The table on the left gives an overview on the Work Packages in this study.
Results of the project on diagnostic markers can be used by public health services and blood banks for blood donor testing. They may be also used by the medical community for individual diagnosis in suspected cases of human spongiform encephalopathies. In addition, the results can be used in potential studies on the treatment of human CJD and can be used in the protocols for monitoring of disease activity or progress.

Union City upends Lakeview, advances to D-10 title game
ALBION -- It took Union City pitcher Schuyler Hopson a while to get into his game against Lakeview on Thursday, but once he did, he was nearly flawless.
After allowing four runs on five hits over the first two innings, Hopson settled down and held the Sailors scoreless the rest of the way as the Bears upset the Region 1 champions 7-4 in a District 10 Class A semifinal game at John Light Field.
"It was a great win for us," Union City coach Frank Cutshall said. "I'm just tickled to death with the way these guys played today."
Hopson allowed just one hit over the final five innings and retired nine of the final 10 batters.
"My head wasn't on straight at the start, and I was showing too much emotion," Hopson, a junior, said. "But then I finally got in my groove, and did what I was supposed to do."
"Everybody was a little jacked (up) to play, but then we settled down, and Schuyler pitched well the rest of the way," Cutshall said. "He's our ace, and he knew what he had to do, and once he got his confidence back, that was all he needed."
Hopson's run support came mostly from Drake Burgess, Clay Webster and Brody Mangel, who each drove in two runs.
After Lakeview went up 2-0 in the top of the first inning, the Bears countered with four runs in the bottom of the first. Webster and Mangel each had two-run singles in the inning.
Keith Kepner's two-run single tied the score in the second inning, but then the Bears scored three times in the fourth to take the lead for good. Burgess' two-run single was the big blow in the inning.
Kepner had two hits and Logan Snyder scored twice for the Sailors, whose season ended at 9-4.
The Bears (8-7) will face Eisenhower, which defeated Rocky Grove 5-0, on Monday in the District 10 championship game at noon at Slippery Rock.

Skip to comments.Middletown, Connecticut rocked by explosion
Posted on 02/07/2010 9:27:40 AM PST by malamute
An explosion in Middletown, Connecticut has rocked the town. Initial reports are that about a dozen people have been injured.
Middletown, United States - The Middletown Fire Department just said in a phone interview that they are in the process of putting out a second alarm. There are an unknown number of casualities. The explosion took place at NRG Power Plant on River Road. According to their web site they are the fossil-fueled electric generating plant in the state. Reports are saying that the blast could be felt as far away as Durham.
(Excerpt) Read more at digitaljournal.com ...
If it was Terrorism, it would never be reported by our state run fringe media.
Same story in Fox:
Well, at least it won't be near as bad as Three Mile Island.......uh...wait.....
Never mind!
Middletown is a 770MW Oil/Natural Gas, NRG-owned Power Plant
Pop goes the CT?
I hope everyone is okay and there's no disruption.
*** According to their web site they are the fossil-fueled electric generating plant in the state.***
Quite a few things could explode in a coal fired plant. Coal dust, tripped coal pulverizer, loss of sealing oil for the hydrogen in the turbine, loss of combustion air, ect.
Holy crap! That's what I heard a little while ago. And, I live about 12 miles from there.
FOX reporting "mass casualties"—prayers going up! :-O
Fox News reported the blast was heard all the way down to Long Island Sound.
I lived in Middletown a few years ago when a natural gas explosion destroyed a newly constructed home. It shook my place. I can't imagine the force of this blast.
"loss of sealing oil for the hydrogen in the turbine"
is H2 used for cooling, & if so, why not air, because H2 has a higher heat capacity?
Construction ongoing at the plant. Saying a gas line exploded.
Can we wait for more info before we blame terrorism.
Mass casualties reported on Fox. damn.
Live police scanner
The explosion took place at NRG Power Plant on River Road. According to their web site they are the fossil-fueled electric generating plant in the state.
Sounds reminiscent of the Hydrogen cracker that blew up at the Exxon refinery outside Linden NJ circa 1970...that one was hurd 40 miles away.
Keeping in mind that casualties are not fatalities.
That said, prayers for all.
Scanner for the area.
Kleen Energy is a combined cycle turbine with low-sulfur oil as backup. Dang, I thinjk we should be using our natural gas for industry (chemical feedstock), not power, but this isn't what I want as a lesson. :-(
CT ping. Prayers up for the families and workers.
2 confirmed dead so far.
What's the distance there?
Explosion Rocks Middletown
Casualties Reported; Crews From Surrounding Towns Respond
WFSB; Hartford, CT.
Middletown, Conn. — Police in Middletown said there was an explosion with mass casualties just before 11:30 a.m. at the Kleen Energy plant on River Road.
Fire departments from around the area are responding.
WFSB has received calls from people from as far as Higganum and Meriden who said that their homes shook from the force of the explosion.
No clue.
According to their web site they are the fossil-fueled electric generating plant in the state. The plant uses natural gas oil and ultra low-sulfur distillate fuel.
If that's from New Haven (I think it is) then it's about 25 miles.
Fire is now reported to be under control.
IIANM, both gas and oil were to be fed to the plant by pipeline.

Thank you tcrlaf for your cooperation.
got it, thanks
Just heard that- 250 INJURED? That's pretty amazing.
God bless- what a nightmare.
Wow!!! Great!!! Homeland Security has been called to the scene. I guess we can expect another lackluster performance from POTUS Barack Hussein Obama and his braindead Homeland Security Secretary, Janet "deadbeat" Napolitano!!! I wonder if POTUS Obam will take time from his Super Bowl Sunday party to tend to the nation's business!!! I doubt it!!! I hope and pray injuries and deaths are at an absolute minimum. The news from the site does not appear to be positive. I am sure the CT "first responders will do an outstanding job of preserving and maintaining life as soon as possible. This does not sound like a "terrorist" attack, but who knows?

text: 000 FXUS63 KLBF 250446 AFDLBF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 1146 PM CDT SAT SEP 24 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Sep 24 2016 At 1 p.m. CT a cold front extended from a surface low over southwest North Dakota through central Nebraska. Surface high pressure was building into the Nebraska Panhandle and west where southwest winds at 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts were ushering in cooler air. East of the front southerly winds at 5 to 15 mph with rain showers and some thunderstorms moving rapidly north around 50 mph. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Sep 24 2016 Tonight the cold front exits east as the upper low spins and lifts northeast across the Dakotas. Clouds will decrease in coverage into the evening. Few clouds then clip the northwest sandhills overnight as energy from the upper lows moves northeast. Isolated showers could be seen in parts of Sheridan County otherwise dry. Models are in good agreement for a further cool down with low temperatures near normal for this time of year with low temperatures in the 40s west and ranging up to around 50 in the north central. Sunday the upper ridge builds east where northwest winds prevail. Stronger winds will be seen across the north with surface winds at 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts. As the surface and upper ridge build across dry and cooler. Daytime high temperatures Sunday mainly in the 60s with readings around 70 southeast of a line from Imperial to Ansley. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Sep 24 2016 Sunday Night through Tuesday: The main challenge in the period were temperatures and possible non-precipitation weather impacts. Apart from that, sensible weather concerns were low as no precipitation is expected while generally light winds (generally less than 15 mph) and low cloud cover are expected to prevail. A concern is frost Monday morning given forecast low temperatures. Best places at this time for patchy frost will be across portions of the western one-third of the forecast area and near/along the North and South Platte Valleys. Overnight lows tomorrow night will be in the low 30s in western NE to mid 30s-low 40s in North Central NE (where lows will be below normal by as much as 5-10 degrees some places). Warming trend then takes hold across western and north central NE. Near normal highs Monday will be followed by highs about 5-10 degrees above normal Tuesday (mid 70s to near 80). At the beginning of the period a mid level trough will stretch roughly across the Upper Mississippi Valley to the eastern Central Plains while a ridge will be positioned over the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. The large scale pattern will be reasonably active as the 500 hPa trough will move eastward and become a closed low over the Upper Great Lakes Monday then move to eastern Ontario by the end of the period. Meantime, the aforementioned ridge will move east and be near the Central Rockies late Monday then move gradually into the High Plains by Late Tuesday. Quiet weather is expected as northwest flow prevails and weak height rises occur behind the exiting trough the first 24 hours. Neutral to weak heights rises then occur afterwards. Following Sunday`s below normal high temperatures, we will see a modest warming trend begin Monday with increasing high temperatures Monday and Tuesday. The northwesterly flow seen at 850 hPa becomes more westerly by Monday afternoon and this continues Tuesday. 850 hPa temperatures increase to 10-17 C Monday afternoon and this will be followed by 16-23 C Tuesday. Under this large scale pattern, a dry air mass will generally be in place over western and north central Nebraska. Surface high pressure positioned across the High Plains at the start of the period will move slowly eastward during the day eventually becoming situated broadly over the Southern and Central Plains by Tuesday morning. Said high pressure then moves east and stretches from the Middle Mississippi Valley into the Southern Plains by late Tuesday. Favorable conditions come together Monday morning for patchy frost in some locations. Decent radiational cooling conditions will be in place as relatively light winds combine with clear skies across western NE under surface high pressure aloft. Guidance is coming together and bringing in lows less than 36 degrees across portions of western NE in the latest MAV, MET, and ECS bulletins. Lows in the lower 30s are expected across portions of the western one-third of the forecast area and along the North and South Platte Valleys. It is anticipated that as cold air settles in valleys and in climo prone cool spots that at least patchy frost conditions will be possible. We will continue to watch and evaluate non-precipitation weather headlines. Otherwise, dry and quiet conditions will prevail Monday through Tuesday. Tuesday Night through Saturday: Looking ahead, the mid-level ridge will continue to influence the sensible weather across the forecast area as it moves eastward and becomes positioned across the Upper and Middle Mississippi Valleys by late Thursday. Beginning late Wednesday, however, confidence in model solutions starts to decrease some as the deterministic guidance begins to show more appreciable differences, especially with the handling of the mid-level trough and its evolution late Wednesday-Friday over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Otherwise, southwest flow to a westerly flow is anticipated to prevail aloft beginning Thursday through Friday. Temperatures are expected to stay above normal through the end of the work week about around 80 Wednesday followed by mid to upper 70s Thursday and Friday. Generally dry conditions are expected until Friday when slight chances/chances begin to enter the forecast again. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1146 PM CDT Sat Sep 24 2016 A reinforcing cold front will cause northwest winds to persist near 28019g25kt at KVTN overnight, then increase further to 31025g33kt after 14z. At KLBF, northwest wind should remain below 12kt, then increase after 14z to 32015g25kt. Skies will remain mostly clear at KLBF, while at KVTN a period of bkn050 is forecast from 08z- 14z, then clear skies in the afternoon && .LBF Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

In the UK it is possible to get a 99.9 per cent 25-year mortgage on a property that is more than 150 years old.
In Hong Kong it is seemingly impossible to get a 70 per cent 10-year mortgage on a property which is 40 years old.
Given that Hong Kong's first boom years were the 1950s and 1960s, there will surely be a lot of properties in existence which are now more than 40 years old.
Maybe the way to boost the property market is to make it easier for people to get mortgages on any property.
How can it hurt a bank to lend people money to buy an 'old' property? If they default, the bank just lends someone else the money to buy the property and makes still more on interest.
Surely it would benefit everyone concerned, the banks, developers, and the buyers, if there was more activity and more money going around.

The new Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures (the Streamline Procedures) go into effect July 1, 2014. Under the terms of the procedures some taxpayers will suffer no penalty for failure to timely file FBARs, (in the case of qualifying non-resident taxpayers) or a 5% penalty for qualifying domestic taxpayers. The 5% penalty is calculated based upon the value of foreign financial assets that would have otherwise formed the basis of the civil miscellaneous penalty under the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program. However, in order to participate in either of the Streamline procedures taxpayers must certify to the accuracy of specific representations. Links to the certifications follow.
If a taxpayer elects to file under the Streamlined Procedure, they cannot later file a voluntary disclosure and would therefore be subject to all applicable penalties if their filing is challenged by the IRS.
The certification process should be prepared by counsel after a thorough review of the facts and circumstances. Such a review is likely to insure that the taxpayer is either a proper candidate for the Streamlined Procedure or that the taxpayer should enter the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program. This analysis should be done only by skilled counsel and not left to chance or guess work.
The improper use of the Streamlined Procedure can be a major trap for the taxpayer who deliberately or incorrectly elected the Streamline Procedure.
For many taxpayers, the offer of the Streamline Procedure will be like the offer made by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry

Absolutely Fabulous
Series Summary
A show brilliant in its uncensored bad behavior and satirical humor, this series features Edina and Patsy, two hard-drinking, drug-taking, completely and outrageously selfish middle-aged women. Their cruel humor focuses on the hypocrisy of today's society, much to the chagrin of Edina's more moral and conservative daughter, Saffron.

Because the safety of withholding standard therapy and enrolling patients with stable angina in placebo-controlled trials is not known, we identified all events leading to dropout from trials of 12 antianginal drugs submitted in support of new drug applications to the US Food and Drug Administration. Persons who dropped out of the trials were classified as cause due to adverse cardiovascular events or other causes without knowledge of drug assignment. There were 3161 subjects who entered any randomized, double-blind phase of placebo-controlled protocols; 197 (6.2%) withdrew because of cardiovascular events. There was no difference in risk of adverse events between drug and placebo groups. A prospectively defined subgroup analysis showed that groups who received calcium antagonists were at an increased risk of dropout compared with placebo groups (P=.04), primarily because of a disproportionate number of adverse events in studies of one drug. In conclusion, there were few adverse experiences associated with short-term placebo use. Withholding active treatment does not increase the risk of serious cardiac events.

I have an M700 tablet laptop. I can use the built-in Toshiba software plus pen-enabled Microsoft Office to write on Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents. But I cannot do the same for PDF Adobe Acrobat files. What do I need to do to enable this feature? I have Acrobat Reader 9. I can select images and text on non-secure pdf files, but I cannot scribble on them like I can do with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
You cannot edit/create using adobe reader. It is only a reader. If you want to create a pdf file you need the adobe acrobat software http://www.directormx2.com/products/acrobat/
I don't believe there is a way to enable your tablet to be used for PDF files that way. But if you really need to scribble on them, read on.
PDF files can be constructed in many different ways. Some of them can be written to with other PDF-creation programs. But those programs are very expensive. Last time I checked, Adobe Acrobat Professional for example cost $450.
But you can do it with IrfanView for free. Install IrfanView and the corresponding IrfanView plug-ins from here.
In order for IrfanView to deal with PDF files, you must also install Ghostscript,
You can scribble on any image file using IrfanView's Paint Dialog (F12).

Sound as a bitcoin? That doesn't sound as if it will enter the lexicon, at least not anytime soon, after the so-called virtual currency soared and crashed last week, not long after bursting into the consciousness of the financial world.
The Bitcoin was supposed to be a 21st-century monetary unit, an alternative not controlled by any government and therefore immune to its manipulation. While Bitcoins have been around for a few years as an intellectual exercise among libertarian-inclined computer geeks, they only took off in recent weeks as actions of various governments to manipulate—or in the case of Cyprus, confiscate—money balances went to unprecedented extremes.
In May 2010, U.S. computer programmers supposedly paid 10,000 Bitcoins—then worth less than a cent apiece—for a couple of pizzas. That was long before the currency's bubble and bust last week. At its momentary peak, a Bitcoin fetched $266, which would have valued those pizzas at over $2.6 million (I don't know if toppings would be extra). But by week's end, the price of a Bitcoin had crashed to $54.25. While it was beginning to be used as a medium of exchange, the Bitcoin clearly wasn't fulfilling money's other function, to be a stable store of value.
Ben Levisohn, Barron's emerging-markets blogger and columnist, who has been covering the Bitcoin before it emerged into the mainstream, pointed out in a post Friday the similarity to another burst bubble of a generation ago—the Hunt Brothers' attempted corner of the silver market in late 1979 and early 1980.
You'll recall those days of yesteryear, when the dragon of inflation had yet to be slain by Paul Volcker, then head of the Federal Reserve, and paper currencies were held in suspicion, if not outright contempt. Gold also was in the process of hitting its then-peak of $850 an ounce. In any case, Ben notes, silver spiked nearly 600%, to more than $40 an ounce, but by May 1980, the metal had collapsed by 70%, to a tad over $12. "The lesson for investors: When you see something quintuple its price in a matter of months, take some profits," he counsels. (The post can be viewed here, with some illuminating charts of the two bubbles and busts.)
Skepticism about government fiat currencies now, if anything, is even greater, than it was three decades ago. The Bank of Japan has embarked on a massive money-printing scheme that has lifted Japanese stock prices nearly 50% but effectively devalued the yen 20% since late last year when it became apparent that Abenomics—named for the new prime minister, Shinzo Abe—would be adopted. (The outcome may be rather less salubrious than new Japan bulls expect, see Does Japan Face a Debt Apocalypse?.) Meanwhile, the Fed continues on its trillion-dollar-a-year bond-buying program, joined by virtually every other central bank around the globe in expanding its balance sheet. (The European Central Bank is a notable exception, letting its balance sheet shrink lately. The next crisis, when—not if—it comes will assuredly spur the ECB back into action.)
So, it is incongruous that gold—money that can't be printed, just minted—would enter a bear market Friday. To be sure, a number of big Wall Street banks had declared the end of the bull market in bullion in recent weeks. Yet, if the Street were a redoubtable forecasting indicator, analysts wouldn't have been falling over themselves to boost price targets on Apple AAPL 0.7755393118202888% Apple Inc.

Gold entered so-called official bear market territory by dropping 20% from its peak of $1,900 an ounce, hit in the speculative frenzy of September 2011. On Friday, gold fell through the $1,500 mark, with the active nearby Comex futures shedding 5.7%, or $88.80, to $1,476. The real story was told by the action in the SPDR Gold Shares GLD -0.34108035218529387% SPDR Gold Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 125.64 -0.43 -0.34108035218529387% /Date(1475283600004-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10815794 AFTER HOURS 125.65 0.01 0.00795924864692773% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 388467 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » exchange-traded fund (GLD), which slid 4.7% Friday as 55 million shares traded, five times the average daily volume of the past three months. Barrons.com's technical guru, Michael Kahn, relates that the bottom fell out when GLD (it's better known by its ticker rather than its proper name) broke below last May's lows.
Beyond price, the assets of GLD tell the story of the end of the gold frenzy. Barron's ETF expert, Brendan Conway, notes that GLD briefly was the world's biggest ETF, with assets north of $77 billion in August 2011, topping the SPDR S&P 500 spy 0.7546115148127446% SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 216.3 1.62 0.7546115148127446% /Date(1475283600004-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 98749662 AFTER HOURS 216.5 0.2 0.09246417013407304% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18453252 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.001050392972723% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (SPY) for a time. By the end of 2012, GLD still had $72.2 billion. But by last Thursday, its assets had shrunk by 18%, to $59.4 billion. No doubt Friday's collapse brought a further exodus, which certainly added to the selling pressure.
The carnage wasn't confined to the yellow metal. Silver also fell 5%, with its ETF, the iShares Silver Trust SLV 0.4969630038652678% iShares Silver Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 18.2 0.09 0.4969630038652678% /Date(1475283600001-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11520115 AFTER HOURS 18.17 -0.03 -0.16483516483516483% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 62868 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (SLV) plunging that percentage on 3.5 times recent average volume. And gold-mining stocks, which already had substantially unperformed the metal, took a similar hit, with the Market Vectors Gold Miners GDX -0.9741476208317722% VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 26.43 -0.26 -0.9741476208317722% /Date(1475283600004-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 39568644 AFTER HOURS 26.39 -0.04 -0.1513431706394249% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5708746 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (GDX) losing 5.7% on 2½ times recent average volume.
In a piece published in Barrons.com's Wall Street's Best Minds feature, Tocqueville Funds' John Hathaway contends that the selloff in gold was "a contrarian's dream scenario." Writing before Friday's 5% plunge, he noted the contrast between the widespread disaffection with the metal, encapsulated in a New York Times Thursday article, with the positive fundamentals for it: negative real interest rates, worldwide quantitative easing, and governments' new confiscatory inclinations, as demonstrated in Cyprus.
Meanwhile, the global debasement race to the bottom has produced some absurdities. Late Friday, the U.S. Treasury said that it is monitoring Japan's monetary expansion and would press Abe to refrain from competitive devaluation. With the Fed's printing press operating in overdrive, it's truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
The rush to the Bitcoin may have been a speculative bubble, but it may also represent an inchoate search for an alternative to government-controlled paper currencies.
Gold would fit that bill, but it appears caught up in a liquidation of commodities, such as base metals and petroleum products, and as a component in commodity indexes. Commodities are produced to be consumed. Gold isn't consumed; virtually all the gold ever extracted still exists as a store of value or a thing of beauty. That makes it fundamentally different from commodities.
Some day, an alternative to gold that doesn't require the tedious and expensive mining, storage, and transfer of the metal may be conjured. Those difficulties gave rise to paper money, which is being abused. For now, gold no longer is loved, which, to an independent-minded contrarian investor, only adds to its allure.
IN CONTRAST, THE QUEST for stability is evident in the equity market, where the most ardently desired stocks are those that act the most like bonds—paying a decent yield while exhibiting a lack of volatility.
Those attractive attributes have been encapsulated in an ETF, the PowerShares S&P Low Volatility SPLV 0.26582890285161914% PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio U.S.: NYSE Arca 41.49 0.11 0.26582890285161914% /Date(1475283600002-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3153384 AFTER HOURS 41.5 0.01 0.024102193299590263% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1527 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.8799710773680405% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » Fund (SPLV), which has not only levitated in a virtual straight line since the turn of the year, but also has seen its assets burgeon. Through Thursday, the low-volatility ETF was up 15.6% in 2013, some 26% better than the 12.4% gain for SPY, according to Morningstar. And the exchange-traded fund has attracted $1 billion this year, bringing its assets to more than $4 billion, not an inconsiderable increase.

In an economy of slow growth and low interest rates, assured cash flows attract high valuations. So it's no wonder that an ETF that is composed of companies peddling pedestrian products would be a lure to investors seeking bond-like attributes.
Technology companies, which also may boast free cash flow and triple-A balance sheets, don't enjoy the same sort of investor ardor.

Why use Property Management in Romania?
Here are some of the benefits typically gained through professional property management:
- Maximize rents and shorten vacancies
- You avoid dealing with tenant disputes
- Higher quality tenants that rent for longer
- Fewer legal disputes with tenants

- Reduce the time lost and hassle of Romanian taxes
- Lower maintenance and repair costs

- Increase your family time / time out by outsourcing tenant management
Some owners of Romanian property feel they are somewhat helpless. Many of the Romanian properties in our care came to us in a mess, missing documentation, incorrect registration, excess & overdue taxes, poor quality accounting or badly maintained. At White Mountain we pride ourselves on high standards at fair prices & ensure that we can provide every possible Romanian property management service you could need. Below are just a few examples. This year so far over 20 disillusioned owners of Greenfield Residence, Bellevue Residence, Piata & Blvd Unirii, Sydney Residence, Diamond Park and other Romanian developments have come to us to remedy the situation created by a previous poor quality Romanian property manager. All are now running as they should, smoothly.
With our Romanian property maintenance team we have renovated, decorated or furnished around 10 properties per year, every year since 2007 - all of which have then been rented out successfully, managed well & are generating a good return for their owners. Our ability to take a previously mismanaged property & reverse its fortune at a low investment cost & almost no owner involvement is what we are known for. You can see this work on YouTube.
Our Tenant Finding Service

We conduct due diligence to determine tenant suitability and provide you with our considered opinion to assist your decision making. We use internet and regional publications to achieve the best publicity and reach the right clients. Fees for this service are very competitive in the Romanian market.

Paul Newman
Stars Honor Paul Newman's Memory
Originally posted 09/29/2008 11:35AM
To honor Paul Newman's charitable spirit, some of Hollywood's biggest stars are lending their talent in support of one of his favorite projects.
Many of the late actor's famous friends – including Julia Roberts, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Warren Beatty and others – will stage a special benefit reading of The World of Nick Adams Monday, Oct. 27 at the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.
The event was planned before Newman's death, and will continue as planned, with proceeds benefiting The Painted Turtle, Newman's California camp for seriously ill children. The camp is part of Newman's many Hole in the Wall Camps. The participating stars will dedicate their performances to his memory.
Newman's Sense of Humor to Be Missed, Says Mario Andretti
Originally posted 09/28/2008 05:00PM
Friends for 41 years, legendary race-car driver Mario Andretti says one of the things he'll miss most about Paul Newman is his pal's sense of humor. The two were known to cook up bets and competitions just to amuse each other.
In Hometown, Newman Remembered As 'Regular Guy'
Originally posted 09/28/2008 11:00AM
In Hollywood, Paul Newman was royalty. But in Westport, Conn., where he
lived with his wife of 50 years, Joanne Woodward, he was just "a regular guy," says AJ
Izzo, part owner of Crossroads Hardware on Main Street, where Newman had
been a customer for more than 20 years.
"He'd walk in and say, 'How are you, AJ?' And I'd say, 'Hey, Paul.' He probably gave more than he took in life, and you don't find many people like that."
Newman, who will be remembered in town as upbeat, generous, and down-to-earth, often popped into the store to buy supplies to fix common household problems.
"He was a gadget guy in many ways,"" says Izzo. "He'd buy light bulbs or a new screw for a hinge just like an average guy would do."
Robert Redford 'Beyond Words' over Newman's Death
Originally posted 09/27/2008 03:00PM
Paul Newman's lasting impact in Hollywood was more than evident Saturday, a day after the Oscar winner succumbed to cancer, as stars and pals alike expressed their sadness over his death.
"There is a point where feelings go beyond words," two-time costar Robert Redford said in a statement. "I have lost a real friend. My life – and this country – is better for his being in it."
The pair, who shared heartthrob status in their heyday, starred together in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in 1969 and again in The Sting, in 1973. A testament to their easygoing friendship: Redford famously gave Newman a dented, engine-less Porsche as a joke for his birthday one year. Newman repaid the favor by having the car crushed and sent back to the actor.
Dad Paul Newman Was a 'Rare Symbol of Selfless Humility'

His characters onscreen were monumental, but it's at home where Paul Newman's death may leave the biggest void.
"Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles. But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee," his daughters said in a statement following their father's death.
Calling Newman a "devoted husband," "loving father," "adoring grandfather" and a "dedicated philanthropist," the women paid tribute to the head of their family.
Julia Roberts: Paul Newman 'Was My Hero'
Originally posted 09/27/2008 12:00PM
As Hollywood mourns the loss of a screen legend, Oscar winner Julia Roberts remembered Paul Newman as more than just an actor.
"He was my hero," Roberts tells PEOPLE.
The actress was on the board of Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang, which funds camp programs for children with serious illnesses, and had recently attended an event for the charity with his wife, actress Joanne Woodward.
Screen and Real-Life Hero Paul Newman Dies at 83
Originally posted 09/27/2008 10:30AM
Paul Newman, a screen hero for more than half a century and the head of a philanthropic food empire for the past 25 years, has died, it was announced Saturday. He was 83.
Surrounded by his family and close friends at his farmhouse near Westport, Conn., Newman succumbed Friday after a long battle with cancer, according to a statement from publicist Jeff Sanderson.
Famed for his intense blue eyes, his love of car racing and one of the coolest demeanors ever to heat up the silver screen, Newman was nominated for Oscars ten times.
Paul Newman Addresses Cancer Stories
Originally posted 06/11/2008 08:30AM
Paul Newman has responded obliquely to a number of published reports that say he is gravely ill with cancer, while a longtime business associate and friend of the star has denied reports that quote him as saying the 83-year-old screen hero is battling the disease.
"I saw [Paul] last week and he seemed fine," writer A.E. Hotchner told Access Hollywood Wednesday afternoon. "I have no knowledge of any diagnosis or doctors."
Earlier in the day, the Associated Press reported that Hotchner, a founding partner in Newman's Own salad dressing company, said that Newman had first informed him about his battle with cancer 18 months ago.
On Tuesday, Newman's spokesman in Los Angeles, Jeff Sanderson, told Reuters and other media outlets: "Newman says he's doing nicely."

Investigating the impact of exit availability on egress time using computer based evacuation simulation
Galea, Edwin R., Togher, Madeleine and Lawrence, Peter (2007) Investigating the impact of exit availability on egress time using computer based evacuation simulation. Proceedings of the 5th Triennial International Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference, Atlantic City, 29 Oct.-1 Nov. 2007. Federal Aviation Administration, Washington DC.Full text not available from this repository.
This paper examines the influence of exit availability on evacuation time for a narrow
body aircraft under certification trial conditions using computer simulation. A narrow
body aircraft which has previously passed the certification trial is used as the test
configuration. While maintaining the certification requirement of 50% of the
available exits, six different exit configurations are examined. These include the
standard certification configuration (one exit from each exit pair) and five other exit
configurations based on commonly occurring exit combinations found in accidents.
These configurations are based on data derived from the AASK database and the
evacuation simulations are performed using the airEXODUS evacuation simulation
software. The results show that the certification practice of using half the available
exits predominately down one side of the aircraft is neither statistically relevant nor
challenging. For the aircraft cabin layout examined, the exit configuration used in
certification trial produces the shortest egress times. Furthermore, three of the six exit
combinations investigated result in predicted egress times in excess of 90 seconds,
suggesting that the aircraft would not satisfy the certification requirement under these

Epstein-Barr Virus Infections, Including Infectious Mononucleosis Jeffrey I. Cohen ++ Definition ++ Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the cause of heterophile-positive infectious mononucleosis (IM), which is characterized by fever, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and atypical lymphocytosis. EBV is also associated with several human tumors, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and (in patients with immunodeficiencies) B cell lymphoma. The virus is a member of the family Herpesviridae. The two types of EBV that are widely prevalent in nature are not distinguishable by conventional serologic tests. ++ Epidemiology ++ EBV infections occur worldwide. These infections are most common in early childhood, with a second peak during late adolescence. By adulthood, more than 90% of individuals have been infected and have antibodies to the virus. IM is usually a disease of young adults. In lower socioeconomic groups and in areas of the world with deficient standards of hygiene (e.g., developing regions), EBV tends to infect children at an early age, and IM is uncommon. In areas with higher standards of hygiene, infection with EBV is often delayed until adulthood, and IM is more prevalent. ++ EBV is spread by contact with oral secretions. The virus is frequently transmitted from asymptomatic adults to infants and among young adults by transfer of saliva during kissing. Transmission by less intimate contact is rare. EBV has been transmitted by blood transfusion and by bone marrow transplantation. More than 90% of asymptomatic seropositive individuals shed the virus in oropharyngeal secretions. Shedding is increased in immunocompromised patients and those with IM. ++ Pathogenesis ++ EBV is transmitted by salivary secretions. The virus infects the epithelium of the oropharynx and the salivary glands and is shed from these cells. While B cells may become infected after contact with epithelial cells, studies suggest that lymphocytes in the tonsillar crypts can be infected directly. The virus then spreads through the bloodstream. The proliferation and expansion of EBV-infected B cells along with reactive T cells during IM result in enlargement of lymphoid tissue. Polyclonal activation of B cells leads to the production of antibodies to host-cell and viral proteins. During the acute phase of IM, up to 1 in every 100 B cells in the peripheral blood is infected by EBV; after recovery, 1–50 in every 1 million B cells is infected. During IM, there is an inverted CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio. The percentage of CD4+ T cells decreases, while there are large clonal expansions of CD8+ T cells; up to 40% of CD8+ T cells are directed against EBV antigens during acute infection. Memory B cells, not epithelial cells, are the reservoir for EBV in the body. When patients are treated with acyclovir, shedding of EBV from the oropharynx stops but the virus persists in B cells. ++ The EBV receptor (CD21) on the surface of B cells is also the receptor for the C3d component of complement. EBV infection of epithelial cells results in viral replication and production of virions. When ...

'Roth Unbound' explores, reinforces novelist's standing
If you've been tempted to dismiss Philip Roth as a misogynist, a self-hating Jew or simply an old white male dinosaur, Claudia Roth Pierpont's "Roth Unbound: A Writer and His Books" makes a strong argument for giving the novelist another chance.
At a minimum, Pierpont's lucid book, intelligent but not academic, makes the case that "The Ghost Writer," "Sabbath's Theater" and "American Pastoral" are compelling works of fiction worth reading today. She also finds much of merit in Roth's other novels, even when she calmly notes their weaknesses. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre turning 40 with special season
Given Milwaukee's thriving theater scene, it's hard to imagine the landscape in 1975, when Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson launched the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre as what was then only the second year-round Milwaukee theater company — along with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater — hiring Equity actors.
Under artistic director C. Michael Wright — to whom Davis handed the baton in 2005 — the Chamber is celebrating its 40th birthday with a five-play season titled "Something Old, Borrowed and New," in which past Chamber hits will share the stage with new plays. It all gets underway with "Master Class," a collaboration with Milwaukee Opera Theatre and Carroll University beginning Aug. 7. »Read Full Article
