Meet The Bubblebusters: Federal Reserve Launches A Committee To "Avoid Asset Bubbles"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/13/2014 14:19 -0400
Just when we thought that the Fed is pulling an Obama and has "no strategy" to deal with what not some fringe blog but Deutsche Bank itself proclaimed was the bubble to end, or rather extend, all bubbles, when it said that "the bubble probably needs to continue in order to sustain the current global financial system" they surprise us once again when they report that, drumroll, the Fed has formed a committee led by the former head of the Bank of Israel - best known for using de novo created fiat money to buy AAPL stock as part of "prudent monetary policy" - Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer, to monitor financial stability, which according to Bloomberg is "reinforcing the Fed's efforts to avoid the emergence of asset-price bubbles."

Chinese Growth Slows Most Since Lehman; Capex Worst Since 2001; Electric Output Tumbles To NegativeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/13/2014 12:35 -0400
China may need to expand its goalseek template to include the other far more important measure of Chinese economic activity, such as Industrial production, retail sales, fixed investment, and even more importantly - such key output indicators as Cement, Steel and Electricity, because based on numbers released overnight, the Q2 Chinese recovery is now history (as the credit impulse of the most recent PBOC generosity has faded, something we have discussed in the past), and the economy has ground to the biggest crawl it has experienced since the Lehman crash. What's worse, and what we predicted would happen when we observed the collapse in Chinese commodity prices ten days ago, capex, i.e. fixed investment, grew at the slowest pace in the 21st century: the number of 16.5% was the lowest since 2001, and suggests that the commodity deflation problem is only going to get worse from here.

Russia Sends Second Humanitarian Convoy Into Ukraine, And Nobody Says A WordSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/13/2014 10:43 -0400
About a month ago, when Russia sent a humanitarian convoy to aid ethnic Russians in east Ukraine, the Western world, and of course media, screamed bloody murder, with everyone from NATO to the Kiev government declaring it, without a shadow of a doubt, an invasion, a Trojan Horse, and a convoy of arms deliveries for the rebels caught in the Ukraine civil war, not necessarily in that order. Nobody thought it could possibly be just that: a convoy of humanitarian aid delivering provisions to hundreds of thousands of civilians caught in the middle of a war. Then finally, after weeks of delays, the convoy was allowed in and after unloading its cargo, promptly returned to Russia without a single incident.

End Of Empire - The 'De-Dollarization' Chart That China And Russia Are Banking OnSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 21:06 -0400
History did not end with the Cold War and, as Mark Twain put it, whilst history doesn't repeat it often rhymes. As Alexander, Rome and Britain fell from their positions of absolute global dominance, so too has the US begun to slip. America's global economic dominance has been declining since 1998, well before the Global Financial Crisis. A large part of this decline has actually had little to do with the actions of the US but rather with the unraveling of a century's long economic anomaly. China has begun to return to the position in the global economy it occupied for millenia before the industrial revolution. Just as the dollar emerged to global reserve currency status as its economic might grew, so the chart below suggests the increasing push for de-dollarization across the 'rest of the isolated world' may be a smart bet...

Oil Price Plunge? It's The Global Economy, Stupid!Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 21:40 -0400
The decline in the price of oil - in the face of surging geopolitical pandemonium - has been lauded as indicative of both US' awesomeness in energy independence and a tax cut for Americans... but, as the following chart suggests, there may be another - much more realistic - explanation for why oil is plunging... demand!

Obama's ISIS War Is Not Only Illegal, It Makes George W. Bush Look Like A Constitutional ScholarSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 22:08 -0400
"Rudderless and without a compass, the American ship of state continues to drift, guns blazing." While critics have been questioning the legality of U.S. military campaigns consistently since the end of World War II, one trend has become increasingly clear. With each new President and each new war, we have witnessed those who hold the office act more and more like dictators, and less and less like constitutional executives. One very important, and up until recently, overlooked point about Obama's latest "war on ISIS" is that this is not at all just more of the same. This crosses yet another very important line of shadiness, and if we as as American public allow him to do so, we will suffer grave long-term consequences to our economic future as well as our liberties. This is very serious stuff.

Credit Suisse Warns Of "Self-Fueling Negative Feedback" In Scotland; Here's Who Is ExposedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 21:36 -0400
Credit Suisse warns of a self-fuelling feedback loop of rising risks and costs to the Scottish financial and sovereign sectors, and a steady migration of capital, activity, jobs and taxes if the Scots vote "Yes". However, if the vote is a close "no", they warn "the cat is out of the bag," and risk remains.

Why PIMCO Thinks "The Bursting Bubble" Is Not The Biggest RiskSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 20:26 -0400
Getting out of a Liquidity Trap with monetary policy playing the lead role necessarily involves a Dornbuschian sequence of rational overshooting: The Fed must drive up Wall Street prices, which move quickly, so as to get to Main Street prices that move up slowly, most importantly, wages. This sequencing implies that Wall Street prices must become very rich relative to Main Street prices in order to achieve so-called escape velocity from the Liquidity Trap. At the transition point, Wall Street prices will be rationally "overvalued" relative to their long-term "fair value." The dominant risk for Wall Street is not bursting bubbles, but rather a long slow grind down in profit's share of GDP/national income. And you can stick that into a Gordon Model, too! Bonds and stocks may at present be rationally valued, but borrowing from the lyrics of Procol Harum's Keith Reid: Expected long-term returns are turning a more ghostly whiter shade of pale.

Is Scotland Big Enough To Go It Alone?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 18:16 -0400
As Scotland goes to the polls to decide on its own separation from the United Kingdom, the tone of the campaign is high on passion and secessionists are inching toward the magical 50 percent line. One core debate is whether Scotland is too small and too insignificant to go it alone... The answer, perhaps surprisingly, is resoundingly "Yes!" Scotland's big enough to "survive" on its own, and indeed is very likely to become richer out of the secession. Nearer to the small-is-rich Ireland than the big-but-poor Britain left behind.

The ISW's Strategy To Defeat The Islamic StateSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 17:49 -0400
While a misnomer, if President Obama is to be believed, The Islamic State, according to The Institute for the Study of War, poses a grave danger to the United States and its allies in the Middle East and around the world. As they exclaim, reports that it is not currently planning an attack against the American homeland are little comfort. Its location, the resources it controls, the skill and determination of its leaders and fighters, and its demonstrated lethality distinguish it from other al-Qaeda-like groups..."It must be defeated," they conclude... and here's how.

Europe Folds To Russian Demands, Delays Ukraine Free Trade Deal By Over A YearSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 17:17 -0400
While the world was poring through the details of the latest round of preannounced western sanctions against Russia - a round which Russia commented would have little actual impact - and just as excitedly awaiting the Kremlin's retaliation, which Putin warned is coming shortly, far from the glare of the center stage Europe quietly folded to a bigger Russian demand namely to delay the implementation of a Ukraine free trade deal by more than one year until the end of 2015 and likely beyond.

Bonds Worst Run Since "Taper Tantrum" Sends Stocks To 4-Week LowsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 16:02 -0400
The entire US Treasury complex surged higher in yield this week, rising 12-16bps (2Y +5bps) as the last 2 weeks are the worst for 10Y since last June's Taper Tantrum. Despite all the 'bonds-go-down-so-stocks-will-see-inflows' rotation buffoonery, stocks slipped to their worst week in the last six, as hawkish Fed concerns spread through markets. High-yield credit notably underperformed and VIX pushed back above 14 (its highest in a month). The USDollar rose 0.5% - 9th week in a row (despite EUR unch on the week) led by a 3% collapse in AUD and 2% in JPY & CAD. Gold and Silver dropped 3% on the week (worst in over 3 months, lowest in 8 months to $1230). WTI prices whipped around but ended -1% at $92. Of course, because it's Friday, the last hour saw manic VIX-selling, S&P futures buying (in 1 lots) to lift it magically off the lows to VWAP, but the S&P ended being the worst of the major US equity indices on the week (S&P <2,000; Dow <17,000).

5 Things To Ponder: "Bear-ly" ExtantSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 16:45 -0400
"It is a bad sign for the market when all the bears give up. If no-one is left to be converted, it usually means no-one is left to buy." The extraordinarily low level of "bearish" outlooks combined with extreme levels of complacency within the financial markets has historically been a "poor cocktail" for future investment success.

Relmond Van Daniker, President, Association of Government Accountants
A long-time government financial management expert is calling it quits. Relmond Van Daniker retires as the president of the Association of Government Accountants today. During his 11-year tenure at AGA, Van Daniker helped the organization grow in membership and prominence. He also led an initiative to encourage government to create a four page citizen-centric report, which offers taxpayers information to help them make better decisions within their communities. Van Daniker joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to explain why he feels now is the perfect time to retire.

Feasibility of DATA Act questioned even as Senate committee OKs it
Some agency leaders who would be charged with implementing the bill are unsure the DATA Act can be brought to life successfully. Officials said the government can improve how it makes data accessible and publishes procurement and other spending information. But the DATA Act may be asking for things that aren't pragmatically possible.

No civilian furloughs in 2014, Pentagon promises
DoD says it's committed to making sure civilians are not furloughed in fiscal 2014, which begins in October. But if sequestration remains in place, the alternative would almost certainly be involuntary reductions in force for both civilian workers and uniformed service members, officials say.

LeNoWriCha: a "rank-and-reward system is to provide an escape from the "success/failure" paradigm that seems to evolve from NaNo." Started by David Shelverman Grimes and accessible through here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/david-shelverman-grimes/lenowricha-an-upgrade-to-nanowrimo/10151561140712496

INTERNATIONAL PLOT WRITING MONTH: December AKA PostNaNoPlot Perfection http://plotwrimo.com PlotWriMo initially came about to help writers who take part in NaNoWriMo and find at the end of November they are left with a whole lot of words that do not always add up to much. PlotWriMo annually spans the entire month of December for writers who have a draft of a novel, memoir, screenplay and are wondering, now what? This is a chance to revision and redefine the plot arch of your project before actually rewriting the manuscript. (This also works for writers without a first draft. Whether you merely have an idea for a story, a few chapters or scenes, just tweak the assignments to make them work for wherever you are in the process.)
Know of a challenge not listed here? Please let me know.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKZO) -- The powerful chairman of the House Intelligence Committee will not seek re-election.
Michigan Republican Mike Rogers will launch a new syndicated radio show after his term ends this year. Rogers is a former FBI agent who was briefly considered as a candidate to run the CIA in President Obama's second term.
Rogers is concluding his seventh term in Congress. He pondered a run for the Senate earlier this year, but decided to remain in the House.
Rogers spoke with Michigan's Big Show starring Michael Patrick Shiels Friday morning. The full interview can be heard at the top of this post.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Yadier Molina hit a two-run homer in the sixth to back seven solid innings from Jake Westbrook, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-1, in the third test of a four-game series.
Pete Kozma and Allen Craig added an RBI apiece for the Cardinals, who saw Westbrook (3-2) give up one unearned run on two hits.
"I think once again, it's just like anybody else, when they feel good, they find that rhythm, they find that release point, and he had it," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of his starter.
Darwin Barney knocked in the lone run for the Cubs, who fell to 3-3 on a seven-game road trip.
Chicago starter Edwin Jackson (3-9) allowed four runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings. He fell to 1-4 lifetime against St. Louis.
The Cardinals got on the board in the first inning. Matt Carpenter led off with a single, moved to second on a Carlos Beltran walk and raced home on Craig's single to left-center field.
The Cubs got the run right back in the second. After Anthony Rizzo hit a one- out single, Ryan Sweeney hit a grounder to second baseman Carpenter. His throw to second sailed into left field, which allowed the runners to move to second and third. Welington Castillo walked to load the bases. Barney's sacrifice fly made it a 1-1 game.
St. Louis went back in front with a three-run sixth. Craig reached base on a fielder's choice and scored on Molina's blast to left. Jon Jay was hit by a pitch before Carlos Villanueva took over for Jackson. Daniel Descalso followed with a base hit to put men on the corners. Kozma's RBI single to left-center field made it a 4-1 contest.
"I thought it was a pretty good pitch but either he was looking for it or he guessed right. It was right in his zone," Jackson said of Molina's homer.
Trevor Rosenthal and Edward Mujica tossed a scoreless eighth and ninth, respectively, to secure the victory. Mujica picked up his 21st save of the season.
Jackson played for the Cardinals back in 2011 ... Westbrook improved to 6-2
lifetime against the Cubs ... The Cardinals signed pitcher Marco Gonzales,
their first pick (19th player overall) in the 2013 draft ... Molina's .365
batting average leads the majors.

Spartan Grapplers Claim Fourth at National Team Duals
EAST LANSING, Mich. � Michigan State upset three teams on its way to a fourth-place finish at this weekend�s Cliff Keen/NWCA National Wrestling Duals in Iowa City, Iowa. The Spartans were the only unseeded team to finish among the top five teams and improved upon last year�s fifth-place finish.
Saturday night, the Spartans fell to No. 1 seed and eventual champion Minnesota, 31-7, with senior David Morgan (118 pounds) and freshman Pat McNamara (126) earning victories for MSU. Both Morgan, who improved to 27-0 on the year, and McNamara finished the weekend with perfect 5-0 individual records.
Michigan State moved on to face seventh-seeded Nebraska Sunday morning and defeated the Cornhuskers, 23-18. The Spartans opened up a 13-0 lead in the first three matches and also won at 150 pounds (Cory Posey), 158 (Greg DeGrand) and 167 (Will Hill). The Spartans lost the final three bouts, but hung on to win, 23-18.
Sunday afternoon�s third-place match with No. 3 Penn State featured a rematch of last weekend�s dual match in State College, Pa., which Penn State won. The Nittany Lions again claimed victory, 26-10, despite MSU wins by Morgan, McNamara and Nick Muzashvili.
Michigan State (4-4 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) returns to action Saturday, Jan. 24, at Northwestern.

Esophageal stricture - benign
Benign esophageal stricture is a narrowing of the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach) that causes swallowing difficulties.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Esophageal stricture can be caused by:
- Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
- Long-term use of a nasogastric (NG) tube (tube through the nose into the stomach)
- Swallowing corrosive substances
- Infection by bacteria or a virus
- Treatment of esophageal varices
- Injuries caused by an endoscope
- Difficulty swallowing
- Pain with swallowing
- Unintentional weight loss
- Regurgitation of food
Signs and tests
- Barium swallow shows narrowing of the esophagus.
- Endoscopy shows narrowing of the esophagus.
Dilation (stretching) of the esophagus is the preferred treatment. Repeated dilation may be necessary to prevent the stricture from returning.
Proton pump inhibitors (acid-blocking medicines) can keep a peptic stricture from returning. Surgical treatment is rarely necessary.
Expectations (prognosis)
The patient may develop the stricture again in the future.
Swallowing difficulties may keep the patient from getting enough fluids and nutrients. There is also an increased risk (with regurgitation) of having food, fluid, or vomit enter the lungs and cause choking or aspiration pneumonia.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if swallowing difficulty persists.
Use safety measures to avoid swallowing corrosive substances. Keep dangerous products out of the reach of children. See your doctor if you have GERD.

Magellan Midstream a cash flow favorite
The pipeline partnership is supported by exceptional free cash flow and a strong balance sheet.
The lifeblood of a company's financial strength is its ability to generate free net cash flow. For this reason, I look at operating cash flow before any investment decisions to get a truer picture of a company's internal operational strength. I then deduct capital spending to determine the company's ability to re-invest in its operations (as well as possibly pay dividends and repurchase shares) using only its internal cash flow.
Drilling into my database of energy companies, one such company caught my eye: Magellan Midstream Partners LP (MMP), a pipeline master limited partnership.
Magellan has reported positive free cash flow each quarter since the third quarter of 2009. Indeed, the second quarter produced the firm's highest net free cash flow ever. Magellan Midstream Partners has a $10 billion market capitalization with a 4.3% dividend yield.
The firm engages primarily in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products in the United States. Magellan also owns and operates storage terminals that have capacity of approximately 36 million barrels.
Its financial strengths include growing EBITDA, exceptional free cash flow generation, a strong balance sheet with above average EBITDA-to-interest expense coverage ratio, no general partner incentive distribution rights and very low to insignificant short interest exposure.
I like Magellan's outlook as an infrastructure player building pipeline capacity from main oil producing regions like the Permian and Eagle Ford.
The stock is registering positive momentum and resilient technical strength. The attractive dividend yield also provides a floor of support to the stock.
I recommend buying modest amounts, particularly on any stock pullbacks toward immediate support at $84.03. Place a firm stop-order limit at $79.10.

Meet the Official Poster Artist
The people have spoken and via an online voting contest Alexandra Nicole Newton was picked out of five creative posters and deemed The Official Artist for this year's Shrimp & Grits: The Wild Georgia Shrimp Festival.
Alexandra Nicole Newton
Growing up on St. Simons Island has greatly influenced my artistic style. I have been painting since elementary school and I studied under Dorothy McClain (a St. Simons Island artist and instructor) for over a decade.
I enjoy working with a wide range of techniques and mediums including watercolors, oils, acrylics, and even driftwood and seashells. Regardless–nature has always been the focal point of my art. I grew up surrounded by the best kind of inspiration: white sand beaches, winding tidal creeks, and vibrant marshes. This environment also led me to develop a deep appreciation for wildlife and all our coastal flora and fauna.
I graduated from University of Georgia with degrees in Wildlife Biology and Fisheries Science but I never stopped pursuing my love of art. I hope that through my art, I can instill an appreciation for nature and wildlife in others. My wish is to give others a passion for preserving nature and to promote the conservation of coastal ecosystems and marine life.

The suite of ISE indices includes its Benchmark Equity Indices,Strategic Equity Indices and Bond Index Series .
The ISEQ® Benchmark Price Indices include: The ISEQ® Overall Index and it's series of sub-indices are the official price indices of the Irish Stock Exchange.
In addition to the ISEQ® Overall Index, the ISE calculates and publishes five additional sub-indices, the ISEQ® Financial Index, the ISEQ® General Index, the ISEQ® 20 Index, the ISEQ® ESM Index and the ISEQ® Small Cap Index.
ISEQ® Benchmark Index Inclusion Criteria:"Admission to the ISEQ indices is subject to the approval of the Irish Stock Exchange. New entrants to the market will be eligible for inclusion in the ISEQ indices if they meet the following three criteria:1. The security included in the calculation of the index is an ordinary share, (or similar security with equivalent rights),2. The security is admitted to trading on either the Main Securities Market or Enterprise Securities Market.3. The issuer of the security must:(a) be incorporated in the Republic of Ireland, or(b) be incorporated in Northern Ireland, or(c) have its centre of economic interest in Ireland.For the avoidance of doubt existing constituents of the ISEQ (of more than two years standing) but whose businesses have developed so that their centre of economic interest could be deemed to be outside Ireland will remain eligible for inclusion within the index, subject to continued compliance with the other relevant ISEQ rules.Any decision of the ISE on the interpretation of these admission criteria shall be final."
ISEQ® Benchmark Index Base Date and Value:The ISEQ® Overall, ISEQ® Financial and ISEQ® General indices are based at 1,000 on January 4, 1988.The ISEQ® 20 Index is based at 1,000 on December 31 2004.The ISEQ® Small Cap Index is based at 1,000 on January 4 1999.The ISEQ® ESM Index is based at 1,000 on December 30 2008.Historic data for the ISEQ® Overall Index from the beginning of 1983 onwards is available.
ISEQ® Benchmark Index Total Return Indices:In addition to the ISEQ® Price Indices, the ISE also produces the ISEQ® Total Return Indices. Like the ISEQ® Price Index series, the ISEQ® Return Index series is comprised of the ISEQ® Return Overall, and five sub indices; the ISEQ® Return Financial, the ISEQ® Return General, the ISEQ® 20 Return, the ISEQ® Return Small Cap and the ISEQ® Return ESM Index. The components of the ISEQ® Return indices and the rules for inclusion are the same as for the ISEQ® Price Indices.The difference between the ISEQ® Price and ISEQ® Return Indices is that in the latter, dividends, gross of tax, are assumed to be reinvested immediately on the day the security is marked ex dividend. In this way investors can see the "total" return from the market. The gross dividends are calculated with reference to the published tax credit attaching. Details of tax credits, ex dividend dates and actual payment dates are available to the market to allow investors make appropriate adjustments according to their circumstances.The ISEQ® Return Indices have the same base dates and values as the ISEQ® Price Indices.Historical performance information for the ISEQ® Return Index is available from the beginning of 1988 onwards. ISEQ® Benchmark Index Calculation and Publication Frequency: The ISEQ® Price Indices are calculated and published once per minute during the trading day (08:00 - 17:15). ISEQ® Total Return Indices are calculated and published at the end of the day (17.15).

YouTube Leanback, which lets you watch a playlist of selected videos without interruption in HD and full screen, is out of beta. And Google hopes it will become the default option for watching YouTube videos on the new Google TVs that go on sale this week.
Ads are now part of the previously ad free Leanback experience. Pre-roll and overlay ads now will be shown during playback. Users will have an option to close or click on the ads.
According to YouTube internal research, users watched twice as much video when using Leanback. Leanback videos come from a user's account (uploads, playlists, favorites), the existing categories on the site (from the Browse page) or a personalized feed (based on prior viewing preferences and linked services such as Facebook)
Also, you can either browse all of YouTube or search for specific videos without leaving Leanback. Here's a video explaining the service:
Another feature of Google TV is Google Queue. This lets you subscribe to podcasts, TV series, or websites via RSS, and updates you when there is new content.
The Next Web provides a quick preview of Sony's 46-inch ($1,399) Google TV. Seems like Sony got the remote control right, making it quite similar to a PlayStation 3 controller.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas football coach Mack Brown closed his annual team banquet without addressing his future with the Longhorns.
In a short, upbeat speech, Brown acknowledged "distractions" for his 8-4 team, but stayed away from any hint of whether or not he'll return to the Longhorns after his 16th season.
Brown met with school President Bill Powers and athletic director Steve Patterson before the banquet. Patterson declined to say what was discussed or if any conclusion had been reached.
The Longhorns will face Oregon in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30 in San Antonio.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - In the Mid-Columbia Conference 4A he Pasco Bulldogs are still playing despite a losing regular seas record. The 7-10 Bulldogs beat Walla Walla to start the district playoffs, then upset Chiawana to get here; one game away from the state tournament. Head coach Justin Carey says this years team has improved immensely since giving up 70 goals just two years ago. Carey says their success came when the team found their identity.
"And to find our identity and stick with it instead of trying to be a team that we're just not built to be. We were built to be a good defensive minded and possession oriented team. It took us a while to figure it out and really nice to have a great record coming in," said Carey. "And we put ourselves in a difficult position having to play so many games, and I think that showed Saturday night. But I'd rather win at the end than at the beginning. I'd rather win in late October than win in September."

0 notes &
So if anyone ever reads this regularly, then you'll know that 'the bright side' the obvious design style that features on greeting cards and gifts, have a diary for 2012 - which I own. See here if you missed it: http://emmamcnic.tumblr.com/post/10276961849/2012-masterplan
Each month, I write out the manifesto because I find it amusing and caring is sharing, so again here goes:
Take long walks (avoid short cliffs)
S…t…r…e…t…c…h yourself (especially after long walks)
Don't give up
Never give up
Ponder the universe
Enjoy puddles
Do some good deeds
Go for it
Gain a phobia (the weirder the better)
Learn impressive facts & at least one new party trick
Be the happy sort
And always try to look on the bright side of life.
This has got to be my favourite one yet. I ponder the universe frequently, I like hugs, I like filing and my party trick (ok it's not new but newly discovered by my work colleagues) is that I can repeat the alphabet backwards.
Happy September!

Financial Aid
Types of Financial Aid Available
PSR offers a comprehensive program of financial aid for eligible students, including need-based scholarships, merit awards, work-study, or loans. Below you will find the types of financial aid offered at PSR and information on how to apply.
Merit Awards
PSR awards merit awards to select master's-level applicants regardless of financial need. President's Awards provide full tuition to a limited number of MDiv students and PSR/GTU Common MA students on the basis of outstanding academic achievement and promise for ministry. Dean's Awards provide partial tuition to a limited number of entering MDiv, MTS, or PSR/GTU Common MA degree programs who show exceptional promise. (Merit awards are renewed for the allotted duration of each program, provided that recipients demonstrate continued academic excellence and vocational interest.) All accepted students entering in fall semester who have submitted all application materials (including all transcripts, reference letters, application fee, personal or academic statement, resume, and GRE or TOEFL scores if applicable) by the February 1 priority deadline are automatically considered for merit awards based on their admissions applications. (Applicants may, if they wish, submit additional materials that support their candidacy for these awards. MA applicants are strongly encouraged to submit a writing sample.) Recipients of these awards must be enrolled at least half-time.
Merit Award Recipients for 2004-2013 can be viewed here »
Merit Scholars and Academic Progress
1. In order to retain a merit award, merit scholars must continue to make satisfactory academic progress.
2. If a merit scholar fails to make satisfactory academic progress and is placed on probation, he/she will receive a letter, warning that merit scholarship funds will be forfeited should the student remain on probation a second semester.
3. If a student continues on probation for a second semester, they will lose their merit scholarship. They may, however, be considered for need-based scholarships.
4. Conditions for the merit award will be detailed in the original merit award letter. Additionally, merit scholars will be required to file a financial aid form each year.
Need-based Scholarships
Each year Pacific School of Religion distributes scholarships to qualified students with financial need. Students are eligible for a percentage of tuition, based on demonstrated financial need and availability of funds. International students are eligible for these scholarships. These scholarships are not available for DMin students.
Scholarships are available to eligible students who are enrolled at least half time (4.5 credits for MDiv, MTS, CAPS, CSS, and CST students; 6 credits for GTU Common MA students). The half-time requirement does not apply to CSR or CTS students.
PSR is committed to increasing the racial/ethnic diversity of its student body. In addition to any other aid that they may receive, students from racial/ethnic minority communities are also awarded special scholarships. Recipients of these scholarships must be enrolled at least half-time.
In conjunction with the federal government, Pacific School of Religion offers loans and work-study. We disburse these funds annually on the basis of need, available funds, and satisfactory academic progress. International Students are not eligible for federal loans. Only U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens who possess a green card qualify for federal assistance. For students who have previous loans, you are eligibile to defer your loans if you are enrolled half time or more each semester. PSR reports all student enrollment statuses to the National Student Loan Clearinghouse at least three times per semester. If you need a loan deferment form to be signed, bring it to your registrar.
Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study Program was established to promote part-time employment for students who are in need of earnings to finance the cost of their education. Students may work up to a recommended limit of 20 hours per week while school is in session. The amount of the award is based on a student's need as determined by the Financial Aid Office and available funds. Federal work-study jobs may be on or off campus. The work-study program is open to U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens. International students are not eligible for federal work-study.
Doctor of Ministry Scholarships for International Students
A limited number of awards are available each year for eligible international students in the DMin program. Entering international students are considered for these awards on the basis of their application for admissions. If you are interested in this program, we encourage you to apply by December 1 for priority consideration for fall semester awards. These scholarships are only available for DMin international students.
Applying for Financial Aid
PSR's financial aid funds are administered through the Graduate Theological Union Financial Aid Office. To be considered for financial aid applicants must submit:
- (domestic students) a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and a completed Graduate Theological Union Financial Aid Application for Domestic Students
- (international students) a completed Graduate Theological Union Financial Aid Application for International Students and bank statements for the last three months
We strongly recommend submitting these by the February 1 priority deadline for fall semester admission and by October 1 for spring semester. Financial aid may be limited for students submitting applications after these priority deadlines. For more information, contact GTU Financial Aid at 510/649-2469 or finaid[at]gtu[dot]edu. (Note: Continuing students must apply for financial aid every year. The application deadline for continuing students is February 15.)

Cystic Fibrosis Overview
What is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease characterized by an abnormality in the body's salt, water- and mucus-making cells. While itĀis a chronic, progressive disease improved treatments have significantly extended life expectancy.Ā Most people with CF live into their late 30s, and manyĀeven into their 50s or longer. Some CF patients now live into their 70's.Ā
Children with CF have an abnormality in the function of a cell protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR). CFTR controls the flow of water and certain salts in and out of the body's cells. As the movement of salt and water in and out of cells is altered, mucus becomes thickened. The thickened mucus can affect many organs and body systems including:
Respiratory. This includes sinuses and lungs.
Digestive. This includes pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and intestines.
Reproductive. Both men and women may experience reproductive problems
Sweat glands
About 30,000 people in the U.S. are affected with the disease. It occurs mainly inĀwhites who have a northern European heredity, although it also occurs in Hispanics,ĀAfrican-Americans, Asian Americans, andĀAmerican Indians.
More than 10 million people in the U.S.Āare carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene. These people are not affected by the disease, and usually do not know that they are carriers.
