What's next for Apple stock? $600 or $400?
Shares might finally be allowed to trade on fundamentals after a year of emotional trading.
By James Brumley
Less than three months ago, Apple (AAPL) stock was flying high. Shares hit new all-time highs thanks to a 32% rally following a summertime lull. All in all, Apple stock rallied 75% in just 12 months, with the looming introduction of a new iPhone poised to fan those bullish flames further.
It was, for all intents and purposes, a perfect storm of revenue, earnings, euphoria and optimism.
Needless to say, the 25% slide since mid-September -- including a quick flirtation with $500 -- has surprised a lot of investors, as nothing of the sort was considered even remotely possible.
The big move lower -- despite a very strong response to September's debut of the iPhone5 and solid demand for the iPad Mini -- is now forcing Apple's shareholders to ask questions. Like "What happened?" Or "Now what?"
What happened?
There's no way of denying Apple's insane degree of success since the launch of the first iPhone back in 2007. Annual revenue has jumped from $24 billion then to what likely will be more than $160 billion in 2012. Earnings have grown accordingly, from $5 billion in 2007 to an expected $41 billion-plus this year. Yet AAPL still is priced more like a value stock than a growth stock, trading at a mere 11.9 times trailing earnings, and only 9.1 times its projected profit for 2013.
By all measures, Apple is about as close to perfect as a stock can be. The value is there. The growth is there. The longevity is there. So why, pray tell, was the stock allowed to tumble 25%, even in the shadow of success?
This is where the discussion turns philosophical.
To give credit where it's due, Apple has produced stellar growth over the past five years, with a six-fold increase in earnings since 2007. In that regard, the stock's near-400% return during that time makes sense. Make no mistake, though … during that five-year span, AAPL shares became less of a vehicle that reflects the underlying company's value, and instead a story in and of themselves.
As long as these shares continued to basically trade in tandem with Apple's growth, it wasn't a big deal. Indeed, few were complaining about the disconnect during the first nine months of 2012, when the Apple rally went into overdrive. But such a disconnect will eventually present a problem, as it has now.
In simplest terms: Sentiment took over the stock's price in late 2011/early 2012.
There are only two sentiments that matter in trading -- fear and greed -- and it was greed that dug in first, leading to extreme bullishness. Sentiment can be a funny, cyclical thing, though; the same market that insisted on only seeing the upside of Apple in early 2012 is now the same market that insists on only seeing Apple's downside now.
Little has actually changed at Apple Inc. The stock's volatility was mostly spurred by what was going in between investors' ears.
Now what?
The good news is, these sentiment disconnects are temporary. Now that a fear-and-greed cycle has run its course and traders are emotionally exhausted, Apple stock should reconnect with the corporation's actual value. The question is: When and where?
The answer: Here and now.
As nasty as the downtrend has been, the worst-case scenario and maximum dose of fear probably has been baked in. The chart also has brushed a key Fibonacci retracement line at $499. A move to that level represents a key 61.8% retracement of the big rally that began back in late 2011 when greed took over.
Point being, there's just not much left to technically give up here, particularly given how Apple is still on a performance roll.
While it's true that Apple doesn't have much variety on its menu of products, it's also true that it doesn't need much variety -- the iPhone and the iPad are their respective category leaders. The company's new products, like the new iPad Mini, are even starting to cannibalize existing products. It doesn't matter. Between existing customers as well as the new round of fans that are added to the Apple army each time it unveils a new product, the company can grow at will. Next year's per-share profit of $49.27 is a totally plausible outlook.
All that being said, the best reason of all to step into Apple now might be that the analyst community has finally started to hate the company.
Within the past week, five analytical firms have cut their price targets on Apple stock. Citigroup (C) downgraded the stock to "neutral." The media has started to hammer AAPL, too, in unison rather than individually. It's all superficially a problem for the stock, which is why it's also a proverbial green light for would-be buyers.
In simplest terms, analysts are notoriously late to the party, as we noted on InvestorPlace. The media usually doesn't harp on a story or idea until that story is so old and tired that it's irrelevant. It's a contrarian view, to be sure, but the approach works more often than not.
Bottom line: The worst is over for Apple, and the 25% dip is a buy-worthy one. $600 is a more likely target than $400 from here.
As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

On March 9th, I became the first ever paralyzed person to complete a Spartan race. On that day, history was made by Team Pushharder. Without my team, this would have been extremely difficult. I received a lot of feedback from people both positive and negative on the accomplishment. The positive was reassurance that something amazing happened on that day and that it proved that anyone could do anything as long as you put your mind to it. The negative was that people felt that my team carried me the entire way and that I did not put forth real effort. It troubled me to think that people felt I did not do the work to earn the title of being the first paralyzed Spartan athlete. So, I thought to myself, "what more do I need to do to prove myself in OCR?' Then it hit me.. I would do something most able-bodied people wouldn't even think of doing in their wildest dreams. I needed to prove myself once again and this time I want to go all out. So, that leads me to today.
I am pleased to announce that I am now officially going to be part of the 2013 Summer Spartan Death Race. I am the first ever paralyzed athlete to enter this event and I am going in it to be the first ever paralyzed person to complete a Death Race. This will be the hardest test of my life, but I will say this, I will leave every inch of my heart and soul out there to prove yet again, I am worthy of this title. Expect nothing less of me!

Why investors pay lower taxes
Congress has long set a lower tax rate for investment income, citing the benefit to the economy. But 87% of capital gains are claimed by people making more than $200,000 a year.
This post is by Stephen Ohlemacher of The Associated Press.
Why do Mitt Romney and other wealthy investors pay lower taxes on the income they make from investments than they would if they earned their millions from wages?
Because Congress, through the tax code, has long treated investment more favorably than labor, seeing it as an engine for economic growth that benefits everyone.
President Barack Obama and the Occupy Wall Street movement are challenging that value system, raising volatile election-year issues of equity, fairness -- and Romney's tax returns.
Romney, who released his 2010 and 2011 tax returns this week, has been forced to defend the fact that he paid a tax rate of about 15% on an annual income of $21 million. His tax rate is equivalent to the one paid in 2011 by those making $16,751 to $68,000 who were married and filed jointly. His income, however, is 420 times higher than that of the typical U.S. household.
The Republican presidential candidate's taxes were so low because the vast majority of his income came from investments. The United States has long had a progressive income tax, in which people who make more money pay taxes at a higher rate than those who make less. But for almost as long, the United States has taxed capital gains -- the profit from selling an investment -- at a lower rate than wages.
"There are two ways to look at it: There is a moral argument and an economic growth argument, and they both point to lower taxes on capital gains," said William McBride, an economist at the conservative Tax Foundation.
McBride says it is unfair to tax income more than once, and capital gains are taxed multiple times. If you got the original investment from wages, that money was taxed. If the stock you own gains value because the company you invested in makes a profit, those profits are taxed through the corporate tax. And if that company issues dividends, those are taxed as well.
Lots of people are double taxed, says Chuck Marr, the director of federal tax policy for the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. "Check out your last pay stub: There's income tax and payroll tax, so you're double taxed, too," Marr said.
And, he noted, when you buy something, you probably pay a sales tax.
Under current law, the top tax rate is 15% on qualified dividend and long-term capital gains -- the profits from selling assets that have been held for at least a year. The top income tax rate on wages is 35%, though that applies only to taxable income above $388,350.
Congress started taxing capital gains at a lower rate than wages following World War I. The concern then was that high taxes on capital gains actually reduced revenue because people would simply hold onto their investments and restrict the flow of capital, according to the Encyclopedia of Taxation and Tax Policy.
At the time, however, the top tax rate on wages was a whopping 73%. In 1922, Congress lowered the top capital gains rate to 12.5%, a rate that lasted until 1934.
For much of the next 70 years, the top tax rate on long-term capital gains hovered between 20% and 30%, going as high as 39.9% in the 1970s but never falling below 20% until 2003, when Congress passed a gradual reduction to the current rate.
The 2003 law also started taxing qualified dividends at the same rate as capital gains.
Liberals and some moderates argue that lower taxes on investments are a giveaway to the rich because they are the ones who get the most benefit. Last year, two-thirds of all capital gains went to people making more than $1 million, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, the official scorekeeper for Congress.
Only 5% of capital gains went to people making less than $100,000, and only 13% went to people making less than $200,000.
"I'm a liberal person and I believe strongly that the wealthy should pay more than the working poor," Marr said, regardless of whether the income is from investments or labor.
Obama has taken up this argument, though his budget proposals have called for only small tax increases on capital gains and dividends, to a top rate of 20%.
Instead, Obama has developed the "Buffet Rule," named after billionaire investor Warren Buffet, which says rich people shouldn't pay taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries. To impose this rule, Obama said at his State of The Union address Tuesday that people making more than $1 million should pay at least 30% of their income in taxes.
"Now, you can call this class warfare all you want," Obama said. "But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense."
The proposal has little chance of passing a divided Congress this year, and the Obama administration has released few details on how the tax would work.
Conservatives argue that increasing investment taxes would make it harder for businesses to raise capital, restricting job growth, hurting financial markets and reducing the income of people who rely on pension funds and 401k accounts, as well as the income of billionaires and millionaires.
"In my view, the rationale for taxing capital gains and dividends at a lower rate has nothing to do with what an individual pays versus another individual," said Jim McCrery, who was a senior Republican member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee when the 2003 tax cuts were enacted. "It has everything to do with the creation of jobs in this country."
McCrery now works for the Alliance for Savings and Investment, a coalition of companies and business groups that want to keep the current tax rates on capital gains and dividends.

I am one of three children in my family. My parents were divorced when I was 9 months old and both remarried within a few years. I lived with my Mom and step father. Both blue collar workers who earned a combined salary of about 75k per year.
I have two brothers, none of us have a college degree. Education wasn't stressed at home and we couldn't afford it anyway.
At 35, my salary was $125k per year as a security executive
Brother 1 is a Detective makes $110k a year. Owns a home with a wife and 3 kids
Brother 2 is a VP for a music company making 100K+. Owns a home with 2 kids
So all of us work very hard, do better than the average earner and none of us has a college degree. How does this happen? Were we lucky? Or could it be that we all just work hard everyday, don't charge thousands of dollars worth of goods we can't afford and try to save where we can. We all (especially me with no children) pay a lot of money in taxes (I paid about 28% last year). Are we paying our fair share? Every person I went to high school with had the same opportunity that I did. Many have yet to reach their potential, but they all had the opportunity.
Quit crying and make things happen. The government was not created to make its citizens rich. And taxes weren't established to be redistributed. Obama isn't Robin Hood and we are not peasants.
So someone goes out and makes money that they paid taxes on. Then they take the net proceeds and invest those already taxed dollars and make some more money from monies that they already paid taxes on. Seems reasonable to me that a person would be taxed at a lower rate after investing money that they have paid taxes on once already.
What is not mentioned is the risk one incurs when making an investment. Your investment does not always make a profit. Lately, more people have lost more than they have gained. Robert earlier stated that the labor force should stop working for a while and see what the investors think. The reverse is true, eliminate the investor and there will be no work for the labor force. Raise the tax rate and many will question if the risk is worth the investment.
I also tire of the Presidents reference to Buffets secretary. According to Forbes she makes $250,000 to $500,000 a year. That makes her part of the 1% and being paid as wages is at the standard tax rates.
"I'm a liberal person and I believe strongly that the wealthy should pay more than the working poor," Marr said,
There is absolutely nothing stopping Mr. Marr from donating all his money to the Federal Gov't. I am sure they would love to have it and dump it in the hole they can't possibly fill with all the money Mr. Marr and all other wealthy people have. It would not make a dent in the US 16.5 Trillion debt. In fact if all the people in the US gave all their money to the Federal Gov't we would still be in debt. Just look at the debt clock. Each man, woman and child in America owes more than most will earn in a life time. Time to stop giving our wealth away to the Gov't and to others in the world.
To paraphrase Winston Churchill; A nation that thinks by raising taxes they can pay down debt is like a man in a bucket trying to raise himself by the handle. Mr. Marr, George Soros, Warren Buffett and this Administration are all "Bucket Men" trying to lift the country up on the backs of the American people. Maybe it is time to balance he budget and reduce the Federal Gov't. That is where the real problems lay.
Ive been a lifetime Democrat, but they lose me when the side with Occupy and others who dont know anything about business and want a free ride paid for by other people. Corporate tax rates in the US are 35%, the highest in the world. Korea and many countries we compete with have rates around 15%.
So the stocks I own, which make me part owner of the company, have already had corporate taxes paid on them. I have already paid taxes on the income I used to buy the stock. I need every cent of the dividend income I will get for my retirement.
Ive worked hard to turn my life around and build a future. If the Democrats keep up the anti-investor rhetoric and say its the party platform I will have to vote Republican for the first time in my life.

"It has everything to do with the creation of jobs in this country."
Investing in "emergent" economies and foreign bonds etc. how does that create jobs??Investing in gold an silver..does that create jobs?? If the capital gains tax is the lowest since the depression why have we been losing jobs?? They are not investing in job creating things they are moving wealth around (with the help of computers) to create more wealth not jobs.
As a simple explanation, suppose a person invests $100,000 into plant and equipment in 1980 because it has long term growth potential, and sells it in 1990 for $150,000, for a nominal gain of $50,000, and if we taxed that $50,000 gain at 30%, or $15,000, the investor would have a net gain of $35,000 after 10 years. But what about inflation - during that same 10 year period, the value of the $Dollar decreased by 37% (actual net purchasing power), so his net investment is now worth only $85,000 ($135,000 x 63%) in terms of the original value of his original investment of $100,000 - a net LOSS of $15,000 over 10 years. Who in their right mind would make long term investments if they are going to lose money by doing so? And without long-term investments in plant and equipment, few - if any - jobs would be created.
PS - You could take any decade in the last 50 years, and in each case using the above scenario (changing only the inflation rate for each period), you would get similar results.
I would feel a whole lot better about paying taxes if it wasn't squandered away on BS by the people in congress and the president. It's bad enough that they get the various taxes that are included in income taxes, but they have turned Social Security into what is effectively a Ponzi scheme by pillaging that money.
If you want everyone to "pay their fair share", first you would have to decide exactly how do you decide what is someone's "fair share". Personally, I think we should get rid of the whole IRS code and implement The Fair Tax Plan.
As far as changing the investing rates to get rid of what a lot of people seem to see as an "inequality" due to a lower tax rate on qualified dividends and long term capital gains, what does the president plan on doing with municipal bonds? Typically, income from municipal bonds is tax free. The main reason that investors put their money into municipal bonds is that the income is tax free because they pay a lousy return. If the income from municipal bonds is taxed, they will have to start paying a better return to the bondholders or they won't get any investors. If they have to increase their returns to investors, the next time your city decides to do something that is going to require raising money from issuing bonds, the project is going to cost the city a lot more money or they won't be able to fund the project. It sounds so easy to just increase the taxes on the "evil rich" but there are usually consequences that people don't think through. That is just one.
It's worth noting that this 15% rate applies only to LONG TERM capital gains, that is, investments held for more than one year. Investments held for less than a year are taxed at the individual's normal tax rate, or 35% for an upper bracket taxpayer.
Frankly, for the risk one runs in investments these days, if I had to pay 30% or higher tax rate, I would seriously consider whether the risk/benefit ratio was worth it. I think not.

If Elbert County is Northeast, then Lincoln County would probably be the most recent title holder in Northeast Georgia.

If this is an omen for horror in 2013... woof.
Good news if you hate 3D, "My Soul to Take" had the worst opening for a 3D movie to date, making roughly $6.9 million this past weekend. I'd love to see the breakdown of people who saw it that weren't forced to because they're on a podcast.
John Carpenter suffered a minor stroke this past Saturday at the Spooky Empire convention in Orlando. The bad ass part? He returned to the convention on Sunday to continue meetings fans. He also bit the head off of one. Alright that last part's a lie.
Producer Bryan Fuller recently dropped some info on his upcoming reboot of "The Munsters" TV series. It's being described a combo of "Modern Family" and "True Blood" which to me sounds like a bunch of vampires who are related screwing each other. Hollywood is a bunch of sickos.
If you've all being waiting for the next Indonesian flick to hit the states you can finally get some sleep because "Satan's Facebook" is coming. There's really no reason to explain what this is about, from the title alone you should be excited and if you're not you're a racist. There, I said it.
Two women from Troy NY have cited for animal cruelty and will possibly be brought up on criminal charges after police discovered they had a total of 77 cats living in two cars. This is outrageous, everyone knows you can't fit more then 30 cats tops into a car.
1958 – Pioneer program: NASA launches the lunar probe Pioneer 1 (the probe falls back to Earth and burns up).
In every way that matters to the people responsible, "Resident Evil: Afterlife" is a resounding success. Thanks to the extra '3D tax' on ticket prices, it had the strongest opening weekend and per-screen average in the history of Paul W. S. Anderson's franchise. Though "Afterlife," like 2007's "Extinction" before it, was touted as the last film in the series, planning on a fifth film is underway.
If you listen to the podcast, you should know that I've been salivating over "The Final Destination" (formerly "Final Destination 4/3D/Death Trip/etc."), hailing it as the perfect horror film for 3D. Now that the theaterical trailer has dropped, I can't say that I've changed my mind.
The crew butts heads over My Bloody Valentine 3D, and debates whether or not RealD will ever rise above the level of cheap parlor trick.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Darius Reynaud returned two punts for touchdowns, linebacker Zach Brown brought back two interceptions for scores and the Tennessee Titans closed out the regular season with a 38-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at LP Field.
Tennessee (6-10) became the first team in NFL history to return two punts and two interceptions for scores in the same game.
Because of the exploits of the Titans' defense and special teams units, the Jake Locker-led offense observed a large portion of the game from the sidelines. He was 9-of-15 for 152 yards, while Chris Johnson opened the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown run.
Tennessee finished with only 12 first downs and was outgained 375-221 by the Jaguars.
"It was awesome to be able to watch your teammates out there making plays and turning it into points," Locker said.
Jacksonville quarterback Chad Henne completed 25-of-41 passes for 298 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Jaguars ended the season at 2-14, the worst mark in franchise history.
Tennessee's team-record four return touchdowns completely swung the game's momentum.
The Jaguars were looking to expand on their 14-7 lead late in the second quarter, but the Titans scored two touchdowns in a 1:15 span.
On 2nd-and-5 from the Tennessee 25, Brown stepped in front of a pass intended for Marcedes Lewis and raced 79 yards to the end zone to tie the game with 1:48 remaining in the half.
The Jaguars were then forced to punt, and Reynaud's 69-yard return put the Titans on top. Reynaud made his way to the end zone again on an 81-yard dash after Jacksonville went three-and-out to open the second half, giving Tennessee a 28-14 lead.
Fifty-one seconds later, Brown hauled in a deflected ball and scored on a 30- yard return to put the game out of reach.
"We had total control, we were moving the ball," Henne said.
Rob Bironas tacked on a 48-yard field goal for the Titans in the fourth quarter before Jacksonville's Mike Harris capped the scoring by returning a blocked punt 19 yards for a touchdown.
Henne threw touchdown passes on each of Jacksonville's first two drives to erase an early 7-0 deficit, the first coming to Jordan Shipley from five yards out with 5:40 left in the first quarter.
On the first play of the second quarter, Justin Blackmon made a grab, broke two tackles and raced 30 yards for the go-ahead score.
The Titans have won four of their last five at home against the Jaguars ...
Johnson had 56 yards on 21 carries and reached 1,200 yards for the fourth time
in his career ... Tennessee avoided going winless against the AFC South,
finishing with a 1-5 mark in division play ... Keith Toston gained 74 yards on
the ground on 17 carries for Jacksonville.

The farm, located in an area with the highest annual sunshine per square meter in
The rate of levitra online cheap progress is certainly impressive. In less than three years the country has trebled hydropower capacity, quadrupled wind power and invested in flagship solar projects like the one at Mouro. Crucially, this progress has been achieved on the back of a favorable economic and political climate. The government has guaranteed price-levels for the online levitra cheap long-term and projects are not delayed by state indecision or hold-ups in the planning system. By 2012, companies are expected to invest £10 billion ($20 billion) in renewables, rising to up to £100 billion ($200 billion) by 2020.
While this project is to be of record-holding size, it will be overshadowed eventually by a plant here in the US currently in the planning stage, which is expected to produce 500MW - far more than this plant. The current largest solar farm in the US is well below Portugal's upcoming farm, sitting at 14MW. Of course, it seems as if lots of "world's largest" solar farms are in the works, so it's nice to see at least this one will be a reality.

Watts (whether they be KW or MW or GW) measure how quickly energy flows, not how much of it will flow in total. To use the car analogy, it's the speed of the system. When talking about energy production it's usually referring to the top speed - the maximum rate of energy production at some point in time. With solar that usually occurs around noon on a cloudless day, dropping to www.sinai.org.il zero during the night.
If this installation has a peak capacity of 45MW and it spent an hour under full sun, it would produce 45MWh (megawatt-hours) of energy. That's like a car travelling at 45mph for one hour... it goes 45 miles.
During a full day this sun-tracking array might get the equivalent of generic online cialis ten hours full sunlight, producing 450MWh of energy. Scale that up to a year and you'd be talking in the vicinity of 165GWh. That's the kind of figure the article should have used.
Those are reasonable estimates for 30 thousand homes: each home would get about 15KWh of energy each day. For comparison, the average consumption in my part of the world is 30KWh per day per household, while my home runs at 8KWh per day due to efficiency measures.

2 - it's Moura, not Mouro.
Thank you.

Hi! I'm from Portugal, and I am very interested and excited about this project, since Portugal really doesn't have the same capabilites of producing energy that other countries have. By 2005, Patrick Monteiro tried to built an atomic power plant, but the viagra generic drug project failed, and it wasn't that appealing to the general public. But this one seems to have concordance among the general public. Anyway, just wanted to buy levitra canada inform you that the data in this article is indeed accurate. I've read the same exact data in Portuguese magazines a few times.

are you kidding????
there is enough oil and gas in the united states to run 60 million vehicals and provide energy for 160 million homes for 60 years.
and if we convert the coal reserves into synfuels, we have 400 years worth of www.tedxamsterdamed.nl ewnergy, just in this country.
400 years does not sound anywhere near "out of fuel" to me.
the only thing standing between us and energy independence is the enviromentalist movement.

This crazy Maria S.C. chandelier, designed by Pani Jurek, looks like a crystal light fixture, but is ACTUALLY made from chemistry test tubes dropped into circular plywood bands. The best part about this chandelier is that they were designed to directly emulate test tube racks, so you can actually fill the tubes up with liquids and switch them out as desired, giving it such a rad effect.
The lamp design was inspired by Polish scientist Maria Sklodowska-Curie, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of polonium and radium.

Big Names Intro New Waves Plug-Ins
At the Waves press conference this morning, plenty of new products were unveiled. My favorites were the Signature-Series plug-ins from Chris Lord-Alge and Jack Joseph Puig. Each features dedicated plug-ins for vocals, guitars, drums and more. They're due out in March and will cost $800 each. Puig and Lord-Alge were both present at the press conference and talked about and demoed their plug-ins.
Waves also announced two plug-ins modeled from classic processors used by Eddie Kramer: a Helios mic pre and a PIE Compressor. Kramer demoed the plugs and said, "When I plug this in I feel like I'm home again. Indeed, the plug-ins sounded very impressive. Kramer played a stereo room drum track, first without processing (which sounded pretty good), and then with the two new plugs dialed in. The track sounded awesome; deep, punchy, and nicely compressed. The Kramer plug-ins are due out in February and will come in native and TDM versions.

Hartford (AP) — Hartford police are trying to determine how a television fell onto a 2-year-old boy, critically injuring the toddler.
Police say the child was found beneath the 32-inch tube-style television on Saturday night at a home on Garden Street.
He was taken first to St. Francis Hospital and later to the Connecticut Children's Medical center, where he underwent emergency surgery.
Police say the television apparently fell off a piece of furniture. They say there were adults in the home and the incident appears to be an accident.
No arrests have been made.

The three community-minded women, who have bettered their lives, or the lives of others, were honored at Soroptimist luncheon meetings in March and in May.
Gloria Satcher, club president, said the honorees have inspired others to achieve their goals.
"Lorae, Midge and Gracie are inspiring for all they have accomplished in their lives," Satcher said.
Mendoza, who received the Woman of Opportunity Award, was also presented with a $500 check to further her education and to help her re-enter the workforce. Galvan received a Ruby Award certificate for helping the local club in their endeavors and for volunteering in the community. Bradley, a newly graduated senior of Patterson High School, received the Violet Richardson Award and $200 for her contributions to the Patterson community.
Mendoza wants to achieve her personal goal of owning her own business one day. She strives to be the best person she can be for herself and for her three children. Mendoza decided to return to school and pursue a degree. She enrolled in Modesto Junior College with a full load of classes and carries a 3.1 grade-point-average.
Mendoza has also helped run a small family business since Mendoza's father passed away in 2009. Receiving the Woman of Opportunity Award will help Mendoza purchase needed books, help with the daycare and have some money for her children's future.
Galvan, who has been in Patterson for 24 years, received the Ruby Award, once known as the Women Helping Women Award, for her community service.
"Midge is a great asset to the Patterson community with all the gifts that she gives back to the non-profit organizations," said Juanzette Hunter, Soroptimist incoming president.
Among Galvan's projects are that she has participated in Earth Day at Sacred Heart Catholic School, conducted computer classes at the Hammon Senior Center, helped with the Soroptimist Timeless Tablesetting luncheon, where the Miss Patterson finalists are introduced, and also helped with the Soroptimist newsletters.
She has also served as administrative assistant of the Patterson-Westley Chamber of Commerce and helps assist small businesses to get back up and running, and assists with the Christmas trees display in the South City Park.
Galvan is thankful of her husband, Tom, daughter, Stephanie and son, Kris.
Grainne "Gracie" Bradley, Violet Richardson award winner, was honored for her dedication to her community evidenced by the amount of time and energy she puts forth in various activities at Patterson High School. Bradley, daughter of Marlo and Steve Bradley, also wore the Apricot Fiesta's Miss Patterson crown for 2012.
The activities she participates in not only benefit other students, but their families as well. Bradley believes that being involved in positive activities helps keep students out of trouble in and outside of school.
Bradley was the Associated Student Body president this past year and helped organize and volunteer at the school's blood drives. She also helped prepare for night rallies and high school dances. Through her involvement, she has gotten to know staff and teachers. She was asked to become a freshman ambassador for the school's new Ambassador program, a group of students who help incoming freshman transition from middle school to high school. Each leader is assigned 10 freshmen to mentor throughout the entire year. Bradley states she still keeps in contact with each of the freshmen.
Bradley has also joined Kids Helping Kids, a group of volunteers who help underprivileged children and their families. The group raises money from August to December, and in 2012, took 70 children to Kohl's in Turlock for clothing at Christmas time. The children returned to the high school where they ate, met Santa, received a small toy that they requested.

10 Tasting Notes
I bought this on a whim after reading a review of a gentleman who drank this tea while reading long Russian tomes (Tolstoy's War and Peace). It isn't just the English major in me that pounced on this coupling of images. The scent of books and a smokey, full cuppa…. Well, I am a fan of the occasional wintry smoked tea, especially because it brings to mind 19thc Russia, or frosted windows by a rustic fireplace…
A fair-trade, organic, British Columbian (!!!) tea that epitomises the best of jasmine greens, to me. This is so delicate, yet very, very floral, but not to the point that it makes it bitter. (No matter how long I let it steep, it didn't go very bitter at all)
You could taste the smooth body of the green and the lightness of the jasmine mingling together on your palate. After drinking this, I felt so, so refreshed and inspired. The scent of jasmine still lingers on the tea bag package, and it has been a few days since I opened it up (I saved the bag for the company name).
Lovely, lovely. Definitely recommend!
Jasmine green tea is my utmost favourite tea, and it makes me very sad when I come across one that either doesn't taste like jasmine, or simply doesn't do it justice. (I'm one for floral, floral, floral — I can't get enough of that delicate aroma and "clean" taste)
The taste of jasmine is in this one, but for some reason it is peculiarly bitter to the point that it skewers both the taste of the green and the jasmine taste. It's just an astringent bitter flavour.
I agree with other people about drinking it cold. It is easier to recognise the flower taste then.
It's very a very autumnal flavour — very spicy. I do think that the nutmeg overpowers it though, and there wasn't enough "pumpkin" flavour for my tastes. I would enjoy more pumpkin since I feel like that earthy flavour would compliment this…. I suppose I was expecting a bit more. Not a bad tea, but more for one who prefers a tea heavy on the spices (or the nutmeg).
At least there was no licorice, which is the one reason I stay away from chai-like teas. :)
I will admit that I have tried many, many different peppermint teas, and Summerdown English mint surpasses all of them.
Before you even open the box, your senses are flooded with a delicious, genuine peppermint scent that gets you all the more excited to try it. The taste itself is very much like the scent – pure, and without either tasting artificial, like candy canes, or too herbaceous as to no longer even resemble peppermint. This is a perfect, natural brew: What peppermint tea should be.
I think it is especially delicious with a bit of dark chocolate as an afternoon snack, or in the morning, as it is so refreshing.

Comments about VASQUE Men's Bitterroot GTX Backpacking Boots:
Bought the Bitteroot, 3 weeks before a 8 day trek. Plenty enough time to break them in and they needed it. After the second week, and couple lite hikes, with out a pack. The glue holding the toe cap and side rubber gave way. The rubber separated from the leather. I do It doesn't seem to be structurally compromised, but it is unsettling enough to make you want to change them out, or replace them, and be a little P off. EMS did offered to replace or refund. With less than 5 days out, I am fearful to replace or exchange. One: even have the boots arrive in enough time and Two: having to break in a new pair on the trail sounds painful. I will carry glue on the trail with me for last min repairs. Grrrr! FYI. I sent a letter/email to VASQUE asking for help or information. No response as of yet..... Thanks VASQUE.

Evaluation of a Revised Indication for Determining Adult Cochlear Implant Candidacy
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The Sponsor values the progression of hearing healthcare practice and acknowledges a need for re-evaluation of indications for determining adult cochlear implant candidacy. This need arises from current research, peer reviewed literature, and technological advancement with concomitant performance outcomes. To address this specifically, the Sponsor proposes to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Cochlear™ Nucleus® implant system with a revised indication.
Hearing Loss
Device: cochlear implant
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Evaluation of a Revised Indication for Determining Adult Cochlear Implant Candidacy
- Six months CNC word scores in the CI alone condition [ Time Frame: six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Efficacy of the revised current cochlear implant indications will be determined using a comparison between preoperative (ear to be implanted) and postoperative (cochlear implant alone) outcome measures. The primary study endpoint, 6 months postimplant activation, will be a statistically significant difference between the mean, preoperative CNC word score (ear to be implanted) and the postoperative (cochlear implant alone) score for candidates who currently perform outside the approved cochlear implant indications.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2015
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|cochlear implant
Device: cochlear implant
Cochlear implant surgery
Other Name: implantable hearing device
Detailed Description:
Existing research, as discussed, supports the opinion that current candidacy criteria are set conservatively. The Sponsor, in addition to the support of recent peer reviewed literature illustrating a need for an appropriate criteria and more suitable speech recognition measure, believe it is appropriate at this time to re-evaluate the candidacy requirements associated with adult cochlear implantation. Specifically, this will be accomplished by evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Cochlear™ Nucleus® cochlear implant system under revised cochlear implant indications. The proposed approach would be to evaluate individuals scoring between 10 - 40% inclusively on monosyllabic words (CNC) who do not meet current approved speech perception criteria with the widely used sentence measure HINT in quiet. No change to current qualifying audiometric criteria (bilateral moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss in the low frequencies and profound hearing loss in the mid to high speech frequencies) for implant candidacy is proposed.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Eighteen years of age or older at the time of the study.
- Preoperative aided CNC word score in quiet of greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to ¬¬40% in the ear to be implanted; equal to but no better than 50% in the contralateral ear
- Bilateral moderate to profound hearing loss in the low frequencies (up to 1000 Hz) and profound sensorineural hearing loss in the high speech frequencies (3000 Hz and above)
- Willingness to use bimodal stimulation (i.e. a cochlear implant on one ear and a hearing aid on the contralateral ear) through at least 6-months postactivation.
- English spoken as the primary language.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Congenital hearing loss (for the purpose of this study, onset prior to 2 years-of-age).
- Preoperative aided HINT sentence score less than or equal to 50% in the ear to be implanted
- Ossification, absence of cochlear development or any other cochlear anomaly that might prevent complete insertion of the electrode array.
- Hearing loss of neural or central origin (e.g., deafness due to lesions on the acoustic nerve or central auditory pathway).
- Active middle-ear infection.
- Unwillingness and/or inability of the candidate to comply with all investigational requirements including, but not limited to, study protocol and surgical procedure.

While Olivia's out, Jake breaks into her apartment and makes a quick copy of the Flash drive Olivia hid. With what's on the Flash drive, Jake tells President Grant that Osborne is the mole. Fitz immediately orders an investigation and has the CIA Director's home and office raided. Osborne looks to Cyrus for help, pleading his innocence, but Cyrus doesn't offer him any comfort. Later that night, Osborne is found dead in his car, apparently having committed suicide. But on a park bench nearby, Jake meets with a mysterious man and it becomes clear that not only was Osborne not the mole, Jake may have actually murdered him!
Director Osborne's widow becomes Olivia's newest client when she find out that the dry cleaner Osborne had been visiting was actually his bookie and that Molly, the woman who had fingered Osborne as the mole in the first place, has disappeared. David, who had finally moved back home after living at the OPA offices for a while, is pulled back in because he's still in danger. And Jake, thanks to his continued surveillance of Olivia, sees her tell Cyrus that she thinks Osborne wasn't really the mole.

Problem: Where To Put The Pet's Bowls?
The Fall 2009 Kitchen Cure
For those with four-legged furry friends running around their home, there seems to be a unanimous problem — where do you put the pet bowls?! It seems like the answer should be easy: the floor, duh. But in reality, finding a bowl that looks attractive enough to sit out, plus learning not to kick it over during your daily routine, is a challenge.
Before you can tackle the placement of your pet's food and water dishes, you must first decide what's best for them. Cats are pretty simple since most are only at max a foot in height. Dogs on the other hand, well they're a different story. Food needs to be close to your dog's snout without excessive bending, which can cause problems with digestion and then some. You can read up more about what types of bowls are available and why over here.
On Style: There is one thing we can tell you for sure about your pet bowls: they'll be around for awhile. Even though many of the more modern versions are higher on the price scale, in the grand scheme of your pet's life, that balances out, so if there's one you truly love, save up and go for it!
Placement: We've all been there (usually when we're carrying something hot to the table), you know the dog bowl is there, but instead, splooosh, you kick it clear across the room. Awesome. It can be so very frustrating. In small spaces, the biggest impact could be made by feeding at regimented times and picking the food bowl back up when not in use. The water however, would need to stay down and it can be the trickiest of all!
If you don't have a spot to keep it tucked back out of the way, don't worry about it being an eyesore; it's an acceptable thing to have as a pet owner (that gross chew toy on the other hand, might need to go), so don't worry about it. To make it feel like it's part of the space more, instead of two bowls at the end of an island or against a wall, try hanging teatowels or artwork above the area to make it feel more inclusive.
Here are a few of our favorite posts from Apartment Therapy about different dog bowls and a few of their solutions (be it stylish or placement):
Pictured Left To Right & Top To Bottom
• Look! A Place for Pet Bowls: In this home, the bottom shelf has been reserved for the bowls of their pets. It is guaranteed to keep them out from under foot, but we suggest placing them on an absorbent mat for messy eaters.
• House Tour: Vicki & Richard's Eichler House of Robots: In this home the dog bowl sits to the side of the kitchen next to a credenza. It's inside a doorway in an area that won't be disturbed very often.
• Midwest #7 - Zohreh's Anti-Depressant Color: In this vibrant home, there's a special spot, just for the animals, complete with pictures hung at pet height. Although it might seem silly, it helps make the feeding area feel more like a feeding area instead of a pile of stuff to trip over.
• People Bowls as Pet Bowls: There's nothing wrong with using regular dishware instead of specialty pet products. They don't even have to match and might be easier to coordinate with your existing dishware.
• Look!: Vintage Wine Boxes as Dog Bowls: Although many pet bowls are held up by thin wire supports to not look so bulky in your spaces, this one goes in the opposite direction. We like that it feels more like a piece of furniture in your room, instead of some thing... over there... down on the floor.
• Top Ten: Pet Bowls: Although there are other alternatives out there, here's 10 decent pet bowls that might work for your pet.
• Enamel Dog Bowl: There's something to be said for a bowl that not only stays clean, but looks clean also, this enamel bowl pulls double duty and is not only sturdy but a snap to clean when messy.
• Trendy Pet: Raised Dog Bowls: In this post there's a great graphic to demonstrate how high up your dog bowls should be.
Where do you keep your pet bowls? Do you have a favorite or think you've found the best place to keep it? Let us know in the comments below!

14 Comments
my cat likes to pull the food out of her bowl when she eats for some reason, leaving little brown bits all over the place.
I solved this by getting a great old vintage platter at the thrift store. it looks great and catches all of her crumbs!
Our kitten has a degenerative neurological condition and she has a hard time eating. She gets food and water EVERYWHERE. It's an impressive mess for such a tiny thing. We've completely given up with the cute bowls or logical placement and just make sure she gets some food in her.
elbow: if your cat is over a year and still pulls the food out of the bowl, you may want to get a bigger bowl - she probably doesn't like her whiskers touching the sides.
Our cats have their food on a table and their water is on a different table - they have decreed it, but we're not your usual cat owners.
One thing cat owners should take into consideration is that plastic bowls can cause acne. If you clean and disinfect the bowl every day this should not be a problem, but if you do not, and/or your cat starts getting pimples around their face and neck, you should consider switching to glass, metal or ceramic dishes.
For my cats I always just kept their food dishes in corner of the kitchen floor, and they always looked messy and out of place. Then I bought a small floor mat and put this in a corner with their food and water dishes on it. It looks like much more of a purposeful place now, and keeps them from sliding their dishes around so much as well.
My parents, however, have a small dropped counter space, and this is where they keep their cat's dishes. It works well for them, their cat likes jumping up for the food, and it keeps the dog out of it.
My cat drags his water bowl all over the kitchen. I've started keeping the food & water bowl on a little tray - and now he drags the whole tray around the kitchen. He's always done this.
He seems to enjoy this though - so I don't have the heart to figure a way to stop it. So every day or so - I scoot the bowls back into their spot. (between two pieces of furniture).
what's trickier is those pet water fountains. I have no choice but to plug 'em in in a spot near an outlet. my cat is the only one who drinks from the fountain...
my dogs bowls are right behind our island where we don't normally walk through or use that side of the island.
My dog bowls are under a side table we have in the kitchen. Due to my clumsiness though I often kick over the water bowl. I'm not too fussed about whether bowls suit the decor, or look gorgeous. My Corgi developed a habit of dragging his bowls across the floor so when we found one he was incapable of moving we bought it, with no consideration of how it looks.
I can't believe I never thought of putting mats under the bowls! What type of mat would be best for metal bowls on tile floors?
I have two cats that pull food out of their bowls. I'll switch to wider bowls, thanks for that advice.
Our dog mostly eats outside unless the weather is really bad which saves on mess and storing her bowl inside. She has a couple of water bowls around the house which are just put in places people don't really walk. We lift her food bowl up on an extremely glamourous upside-down beige bucket with the bottom cut out into which her blue plastic bowl sits snugly.
This has me thinking, maybe we should be looking for more elegant solutions...but then again, she's only really interested in what's inside the bowl anyway! :-)
Meggo: my parents' cat, who is very offended by the sight of an empty catfood dish when he's hungry, lets us know by batting the dish all over the kitchen. He does this with his (full) water bowl too.
I'm trying to figure out a good place for a cat water fountain, too. My cat is a reasonably neat eater, but for some reason, he doesn't like to drink from his water dish (which I scrub regularly and re-fill daily, thanks!). Instead he prefers to drink only from the bathroom tap. I'm tired of having my primary function be to turn the faucet on whenever he's thirsty, and of being woken up by a thirsty cat knocking things onto my head to let me know!
My pup's bowls are on a cooler under the counter ledge in my living room. The cooler is less than snazzy - I suppose I could cover it with a tablecloth or something for aesthetics - but gets the job done. I can keep food in the cooler so that I just have to pop it open to feed him. And, if anyone is the same age range as I am, I loved the book Strider as a kid, and they taught us that big dogs shouldn't have to bend down for their food, it will mess with their back. So due to Strider, I will keep it up high for him. Now I just have to work on teaching him to read.
We use a piece of black shelf liner (not the sticky-backed kind, but the rubbery kind) cut into a neat rectangle as a mat. It's easy to wash when needed, keeps water drips from staining or damaging the hardwood floor, and keeps the kitty bowls from sliding around (but they still manage to paw them out of place when chasing an errant bit of food). The bowls are reasonably large and shallow square plate-bowl hybrid things, in ceramic, from Target, and intended for human use.
Hmjames: despite the fact that the bowls are very shallow (no possibility of whisker infringement), one of our fully-grown cats dearly loves to pull handfuls of dry food out and chase the bits around the floors. The other one dutifully cleans up after him.
I used a cute placemat under my kitten's food for about a month until she decided to signal her distaste for certain foods by "digging" the mat, sending water and food everywhere. I've abandoned that, switched to less tippy bowls, and now I'm on the hunt for heavier bowls that she cant move around as much (the rubber rim on stainless bowls really doesn't stop her from moving them all over).

Seven Ways to Fund Your College Education
Getting a higher education can come at a huge costs. One has to meet the tuition fees; cost of books, room and board and food, it is advisable to have some money set aside for one's upkeep. A few of us are lucky enough to meet all these costs comfortably using their own or rather, their parents' money.
For the majority who cannot rely on only one source to fund their college education, there are ways which one can raise funds for college.
Government grants have helped many to fund their college education. The grants could be handed directly to the college or to individual students. Government grants are meant to meet costs of tuition fees and books (through college libraries). This reduces the high cost of college education, with more focus on public colleges.

There are numerous college scholarships and grants being offered to students from various sources. To receive these, one has to meet a set eligibility criteria, such as a set grade point average, participation in sports, in some cases disabilities or an identified talent. College scholarships and grants are not paid back: they are obtained from philanthropic sources such as churches, wealthy individuals and so on. Colleges too help students identify genuine college scholarship and grant offers through student advisors.
Another way of funding college education is through student loans. In most countries, these loans are offered by the government to students who meet a set criterion. Student loans have very low interest rates. The student is expected to pay back the loan after completing college, followed by a grace period to allow the student to find employment and he or she is expected to start paying through small deductions from his or her salary. Loan defaults are penalized, but on several occasions, the government may waive the penalties briefly.
Parents can also provide funding for their children's college education through educational loans from banks and other financial institutions. Most parents set up a college fund for their children while they are still young. These funds are kept in banks and accumulate interests and bonuses until they mature. This case is similar with educational endowment policies offered by insurance companies.
As a college student, you can also find employment. Although it may not be your dream job, the money you earn can help you pay for few things in college such as books, accommodation or even your upkeep. Be sure to find a job that pays well above the minimum wage. Some employers have an employment plan for their staff to fund their college education through easy loans, warding college scholarships to their best employees, bonuses and grants.
Another source of funding is the various grants and bursaries offered to students while in college. These are awarded through essay competitions, common in most colleges, awards on merit or bursaries for ongoing students from the government. These awards can paid directly to your college as part of your funding. This means that as a college student you have to be an exceptional student and have access to information such as the availability of these grants.
Contributions from friends and family can also be used to fund your college education. Most of your friends and family may not demand their money back, so you could consider these contributions like a grant of sorts.
