The Week Ahead: A Portfolio That Won't Ruin Your Summer 0 comments
Investors came back from the long weekend ready to buy as the S&P 500 closed above the 1900 level in impressive fashion. Nevertheless, many analysts and TV pundits still point to the number of reasons why stocks should not be this high and can't go higher.
The environment has also been difficult for individual investors as the choppy action in the S&P 500 and the wide swings in the Nasdaq 100 have made them difficult to trade. Clearly, the broad market has been in a non-trending mode, but it is still possible to find and buy stocks that are trending.

Last Thursday's preliminary reading on 1st quarter GDP was worse than expected at -1.0% but stocks still closed the day higher, further confounding the market bears The final reading for the 1st quarter will be released on June 25, and I would not be surprised to see it revised upward.
Certainly, buying the averages at current levels has too high a risk, in my opinion, as one needs to use a very wide stop. However, there are quite a few stocks that appear to have just bottomed and look attractive on a slight pullback. Three such consumer stocks were discussed last week in Betting on the Consumer.
Still, there are many investors who are uncomfortable with individual stocks especially after the recent wild earnings seasons, which has driven both fundamental and technical analysts nuts. For example, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF) reported that it lost less than expected and its stock finished the day up 5.75%.
The summer months are typically even choppier but after the last five months this may not be the case this year. Still, summer is a time for many to focus on their families and not worry about their investments. Those who decided to sell at the start of May may be wondering if they should get back in as the S&P 500 has gained almost 2%.

In this week's column, I will be focusing on using a dollar cost averaging approach to establish positions in three very diverse ETFs. This is a good approach for those who are not invested in the stock market, as well as those who would like a lower stress investment strategy during the summer months.
In August's A Contrary Bet for 2014?, I recommended this approach for the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) starting on September 3. Six equal investments were made every three weeks (see arrows on the chart) with the final investment made on December 17.
Of course, the advantage of this approach is it makes it less likely that one will buy at the market high, which often happens to individual investors. With the reinvestment of dividends, the position is now up almost 18%. The chart is now looking quite bullish, so it may indeed turn out to have been a good contrary play for 2014.
A similar strategy was recommended on January 10 in either a S&P 500-tracking ETF or fund. The amount invested will depend on how much exposure you want to have in the equity markets and also how you personally react when the Dow Industrials has a daily drop of 100 or 200 points. We are likely to have several such days before the end of the year, and if such a drop is going to ruin your summer vacation, invest less.

For those who are not invested in stocks at all, a 30% commitment to these three ETFs does not seem unreasonable. That would be 10% in each fund that would be made up of five separate investments every three weeks. Starting on June 2, subsequent investments would be made on 6/23, 7/7, 7/28, and 8/18.
All of these three ETFs have been recommended previously and the top choice is the Vanguard FTSE Europe (VGK). As indicated on the chart, it has a current yield of 3.75%, which is better than a 30-year US T-Bond and has a low expense ratio of 0.18%.
This data is courtesy of Morningstar, which has a wealth of information on VGK, as well as the other ETFs. For example, it has a total of 505 stocks with the largest position a 2.65% stake in Nestle SA ADR (NSRGY). The chart shows a well-defined bullish trading channel (lines a and b) and the OBV broke out to the upside in February. The quarterly pivot resistance is at $63.16.
Click to Enlarge
Another favorite is the Vanguard FTSE Pacific (VPL), which also has a nice yield of 2.56%. It has 818 stocks with the largest holding (2.57%) in Toyota Motor Corp. (TM). Like all Vanguard ETFs, the expense ratio is quite low at 0.12%. In addition to 56.4% of its holdings in Japan, it has 19.3% in Australia, 11.3% in Korea, 8.9% in Hong Kong, and 3.7% in Singapore.
The weekly downtrend was broken two weeks ago (see arrow) but the broader trading range is still intact (lines a and b). The OBV has already broken through its corresponding resistance at line c, suggesting that the OBV is leading prices higher.
Click to Enlarge
The final recommended ETF is the Vanguard Large Cap ETF (VV), which has a yield of 1.79% and an expense ratio of 0.09%. It has over 80% in mega- and large-cap US stocks and 669 stocks in total. The largest holdings are a 2.9% stake in Apple Inc. (AAPL) and 2.4% in Exxon-Mobil (XOM).
The chart has been in a solid uptrend since late 2012 and VV was up 32.7% in 2013. The OBV staged a strong breakout in early 2013 and has made a series of higher highs with the weekly starc+ band now at $90.20.
The other major market news last week was the further rally in the bond market and the sharp drop in gold prices, which I warned about several weeks ago. For more details, see page 4 of this article.
In contrast to the GDP report, most of the other economic news was better than expected including the Durable Goods, PMI Flash Services Index, and the S&P Case-Shiller Housing Price Index.
At the end of the week, the Chicago PMI reflected strong growth in the region while the month ending reading on Consumer Sentiment fell slightly to 81.9 from April's 84.1 reading.
We have a full calendar this week especially when it comes to the manufacturing sector. On Monday, we get the PMI Manufacturing Index, the ISM Manufacturing Index, and Construction Spending. This is followed on Tuesday by Factory Orders.
This is another jobs week so we get the ADP Employment Report on Wednesday, along with Productivity and Costs, followed by the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index. The monthly jobs report will be out Friday morning.
What to Watch
The outlook for the market has certainly changed in the past two weeks. In hindsight, it seems as though my more cautious approach in the last Week Ahead column just meant that the trading range was going to be resolved sooner rather than later.
On May 21, two of the technical studies suggested the market rebound had failed but it was not confirmed by the price action, as the major averages closed above their key levels. Nevertheless, stops were raised in the Spyder Trust (SPY) and the PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ).
The confirmed upside breakouts suggest the surprises may be on the upside, though there should continue to be pullbacks along the way. The minor support for the S&P 500 is now in the 1900 area, with the monthly projected pivot support for June at 1880.
Once again, the oversold reading from the Arms Index helped us identify the market lows.
The continued low readings of the VIX are being used by many as a warning sign, but one of the foremost experts on the VIX, Larry McMillan, interprets its action as bullish.
The individual investor turned a bit more bullish recently, as the bullish percentage is up to 36.4%, but a higher percentage is now neutral at 40.3%. With the market at new highs, having only 36.4% bullish, I think, is positive sign.
Click to Enlarge
The five-day MA of the % of S&P 500 stocks above their 50-day MAs finally has completed a bottom formation, as indicated by line a. Only a drop back below 48% would negate this and the percentage could rise as high as 79-82%.
For the Nasdaq 100, the drop below 5% (see arrow) was pretty amazing, as I thought we might get a short-term pullback, but instead, it has risen sharply. It is now just below the mean of 60% and could move back to the 78% level before the market reaches a high risk zone.
Click to Enlarge
The daily chart of the NYSE Composite (NYA) shows the impressive rally of the past week or so. The NYSE held May's monthly pivot at 10,522 before exploding to the upside. The upper trend line (line a) is now at 10,850 with June's projected resistance at 10,907. The quarterly pivot resistance is at 11,087.
The rising 20-day EMA is at 10,637, with the June monthly projected pivot support (courtesy of John Person's software) at 10,590. This also corresponds to the short-term uptrend, line a.
The NYSE Advance/Decline made an impressive move to new highs last week, as it is well above its previous peaks and its rising WMA. The weekly A/D line (not shown) has also made a new high.
The McClellan oscillator broke through its longer-term downtrend, line c, last week. It pulled back Friday as the A/D ratios were flat. It has major support now at line d.

Justice Delayed? Death Penalty for California Salon Massacre May Mean Waiting for a Generation
Tony Rackauckas, Orange County District Attorney, held a press conference to announce his intent to seek the death penalty for Scott Dekraai, who killed his ex-wife and seven others at Salon Meritage in Seal Beach on Oct. 12.
"There are some cases that are so depraved, so callous, so malignant that there is only one punishment that might have any chance of fitting the crime," said Rackauckas. "When a person, in a case like this, goes on a rampage and kills innocent people in an indiscriminate bloody massacre, I will of course seek the death penalty."
He added, "This is the only way our society can get anything approaching justice for the victims, their families, the town of Seal Beach, and the larger community."
If justice means putting Dekraai on a gurney and executing him, the victims, their families and everyone else hoping for that outcome should face the cold hard fact that they are in for a long wait.

William Maltman
Published: Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 10:48 a.m.
William Bill Maltman, 66, a native of Delaware, Penn., and resident of Houma, died in Pasadena, Texas, Monday, Sept. 8, 2008.
A time of remembrance and reflection will be from 6 to 9 p.m. today and visitation from 8 a.m. to funeral time Friday at Hargrave Funeral Home. East St. Mary Veterans Funeral Squad will conduct Military Honors at 7 p.m. today at the funeral home. Funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Friday at the funeral home, with interment in Holy Rosary Mausoleum in Houma.
He is survived by his lovingly devoted wife of 37 years, Febronia Riveria Maltman of Houma; two sons, Mike Chapa of Houma and Edwin Halford of Sweet Water, Texas; one daughter, Susan Bergeron of Covington; one brother, Douglas Maltman of San Diego; one sister, Pat Blaine of San Diego; seven grandchildren, Shawn Chapa, Shantelle McDaniel, Rachelle Chapa, Michelle Bergeron, Elyse Bergeron, Robert Halford and Scott Halford; and 13 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Elaine Maltman; and one son, Bobby Walker.
Bill will long be remembered as a devoted family man who was always there to do whatever his family needed, with a kind word of advice and a strong hand of guidance. He loved his family and would absolutely do anything for them.
He started his working life in the U.S. Navy as a Frog Man, now know as a Navy Seal, which few would debate is the toughest and beyond any stretch of the imagination the most grueling and mentally challenging training that one could go through, only the best survive.
He was among the few men that were called Navy Seals. After serving his country, he worked for Jay Ray McDermott as a commercial diver. After 25 years he retired and became a diving consultant.
He was a Master Mason and a member of The Sherrard Byrd Lodge No. 353 F&AM in Poplarville, Miss.
Hargrave Funeral Home in Morgan City is in charge of arrangements.

Old Spice is one of the most popular companies in America that specializes in male grooming products. It was founded by William Lightfoot Schultz in 1934 and began by creating products for women in 1937, closely followed by male cologne in 1938. The company originated in the colonial times and chose the theme accordingly, thus the Colonial Sailing ship became the Old Spice trademark. It wasn't until the 1990's...

Lights! Camera! Moo!: I liked this episode a lot, when Otis destroys the safety film for the barnyard, he offers to make a new one with the entire barnyard. But after everyone quits from all the violent stunts, Otis and Pip must make it themselves. I say this episode was just hilarious and I liked all the spoofs used, the parts I laughed at the most was definitely how Freddy and Peck kept getting injured, as well as when Duke tried to get Otis to make the movie more safe-alert. The only part I didn't like was when Otis asked for more wind since he thought the movie with him alone was going to make him a star. Otherwise, very hilarious episode!
Animal Farmers: I have mixed feelings about this episode, the barnyard's favorite country singer, Stumpedy Joe, is currently on location looking for a place to shoot his new video "You Broke My Heart So I Blew Up Your Farm". So when Otis wants the barnyard to be the place, he severly injures the farmer and sends him to the hospital when the huge farmer's market is coming up. So to make the market sucessful, the barnyard attempts to do the farming themselves, but it ends up failing. I felt that the plot was weak, but the episode was hilarious, especially when Pig ate the exploding eggs. I also felt the ending was weak too since Otis just destroyed the barnyard and the episode ended with him singing the song during the music video. But other than that, I'd say this episode was average.

Although the homeworking trend is on an upswing, widespread skepticism still prevails about the level of productivity of homeworkers as compared to that of their counterparts working in conventional offices. However as anew study by Stanford proves, it's time we changed stereotypical attitudes towards how we perceive the very concept of homeworking.

A poll of likely voters across the nation shows Barack Obama with a slight edge over John McCain in the presidential race.
The USA Today-Gallup Poll finds support for Obama at 50 percent, to McCain's 44 percent.
Obama's slight advantage is basically unchanged since Hillary Rodham Clinton ended her campaign earlier this month.
While six in 10 likely Democratic voters polled say they're more enthusiastic than usual about the election, only about a third of Republicans feel as energized.
Seven in 10 worry that McCain's policies would be too similar to President Bush's, while half are concerned Obama's changes would go too far.
Almost one in 10 say Obama would be a less effective president because he is black, while one in four say the 71-year-old McCain would be less effective because of his age.
The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

News Detail
College Dedicates Pellicano Pavilion
On Saturday, November 16, the College officially dedicated the new W.J. Pellicano Pavilion, nestled in the College's athletic facilities next to Growney Stadium. William Pellicano '80 and his family took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony and festivities.
Pellicano is a former Fisher football player, and gave a gift for the construction of the pavilion in spring 2013. Construction began shortly after Commencement in May, and was finished this fall. The 3,000 square-foot open-air spectator pavilion includes seating and a bar area for entertainment. The space is available for the campus and community to rent for special events.
"I see this pavilion as a symbol of openness. There are no walls holding us back, reminding me of all of the opportunities Fisher has afforded me," said Pellicano during remarks before the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The Pellicano family.

NBC decides against renewal of iTunes contract [updated]
NBC Universal has decided not to renew its contract with Apple to sell its television shows on the iTunes Store, reports The New York Times. The media giant is said to be unhappy over Apple's refusal to give them more control over pricing, DRM restrictions, and the bundling of videos. Although NBC Universal notified Apple of their decision yesterday, its current contract extends through December, and talks will continue between the two companies. NBC Universal is the biggest supplier of video to the iTunes Store, accounting for around 40 percent of downloads.
Update: Apple has responded to the move by announcing that it won't be offering any of NBC's upcoming fall episodes.

I'm with Jason. I was all set to buy season passes to Heroes and Scrubs. I won't be watching them on NBC.
Posted by Mozez on August 31, 2007 at 9:07 AM (CDT)
This is insane and inane—don't they realize that the popularity of shows like The Office and Battlestar Galactica can be traced to their ubiquity in the iTunes Store? Bad idea, kids…
Posted by forepac on August 31, 2007 at 9:07 AM (CDT)
The only thing that makes sense for this insanely STUPID idea is that NBC thinks that iTunes video sales may be affecting sales of DVDs. As an exmaple, I have have buying episodes of Eureka off iTunes instead of buying the DVD set I saw at Target.
But considering the fact that at $2 per episode I am spending the same amount as I would with the DVD set, they aren't losing money. They aren't spending money on manufacturing a physical disk and distributing it to thousands of store shelves, so I would think they actually making more money off direct video file sales.
If NBC thinks I'm going to sign up for an account on thier Beta-site, deal with some ungainly DRM, and struggle to get it on my iPod, they are sadly mistaken. Many people like me will just find a way to get it by "other" means.
NBC and other content conglamos need to make things EASIER for consumers, not harder.
Posted by Scotto on August 31, 2007 at 9:35 AM (CDT)
I wonder if this is some kind of power play from NBC Universal to use its television content to get some leverage on changing the fixed price on music to some type of variable pricing scheme. Apple and Universal are already at odds over music.
I think this might be just another chess move by the record studios/movie studios to try to weaken or break Apple's stranglehold on the market with iTunes.
Posted by cxc273 on August 31, 2007 at 9:40 AM (CDT)
Universal really has no clue. They exclusively support HD DVD, which only has half the market that Blu-ray does, and now they want to abandon iTunes, which has about 75% of the downloads market. Obviously Universal needs some serious help figuring things out…

Good riddance NBC…and Universal. I really hope Apple stands its ground on pricing and such. Give these clowns an inch and they take a mile with absolutely no thought about what it means for the consumer.
Posted by The Raven on August 31, 2007 at 10:42 AM (CDT)
Not good. If someone as big as NBC pulls its TV shows off iPod, others will do the same in an attempt to force Apple to change its pricing structure.
Posted by crazypig on August 31, 2007 at 11:29 AM (CDT)
Do they really think that episodes are worth more than $1.99?
Posted by jv on August 31, 2007 at 11:58 AM (CDT)
I don't even pay the $1.99/episode price let alone $4.99/episode (or use the season pass for that matter). What the h*&# is NBC thinking…that people will actually pay that price? Triple that amount and that's what I pay for cable each month, so why would I shell out $4.99/episode. For now I will just TiVo-to-Go the shows for iPod use, which is what I have been doing anyway. Good move on Apple's part…tell 'em to stick it where…well, you know.
Posted by franticnomad on August 31, 2007 at 12:28 PM (CDT)
Go to NBC.COM, contact page and post your feelings. I've done so and so have about 25 of my friends.
This is insane and stupid on their part. They seem to forget that TiVo and most cable companies offer a DVR where people can record the shows they want for free. The iTunes store provides additional income by offering the same shows in a nice downloadable package.

AbstractAdvanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes to develop a hybrid cooling loop and cold plate technology for space systems thermal management. The proposed technology combines the high heat flux performance of active cooling loops with the effective fluid management of passive cooling devices. The result is a simple, robust and high performance cooling technology that allows maximum degree of packaging flexibility. The principal Phase I objective is to demonstrate the basic concept of combining mechanical pumping and capillary force for improved heat flux capability and fluid management. This objective will be fulfilled through modeling/analysis and proof-of-concept testing. It is expected that the Phase I results will bring the proposed concept to the NASA defined Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4: Breadboard validation in a laboratory environment. Phase II will verify the technology?s operational robustness under transient and startup conditions and package the technology in miniaturized and lightweight configurations for compact system cooling. The follow-on Phase III will conduct flight qualification testing of the technology to address the micro gravity effects and the system integration.

How can I verify an X509 (or DER-formatted) certificate against the Java certificate store via the command line?
I've looked into using the
keytool utility, but it looks like it only handles import/export/display functionality (no verification).
EDIT: It looks as though

Melissa Simmons was in a car accident when she was 18 years old. Her face smashed into the steering wheel, which damaged her retina and eye socket. Doctors feared she would never open her eye again. After just three months, Simmons, with only a face mask to protect her, was back on the wrestling mat, where she had been for the previous 13 years.
Three years later, Simmons is now in her final season on the Oklahoma City University women's wrestling team, which has quickly emerged as a national powerhouse in collegiate women's wrestling.
Under the leadership of Archie Randall, who coaches both the men's and women's wrestling programs at OCU, the Stars have won the National Wrestling Coaches Association national duals championship in all three years of the program's existence, including this season. Last year, the Stars also won the Women's College Wrestling Association championship.
The Stars will try to defend their WCWA championship on Jan. 30 in Marshall, Mo.
"We probably have the most talented group of girls here at our place," Randall said. "We basically dominate everyone in college."
Since women's college wrestling is not an NCAA Division I sanctioned sport, OCU and most of the other major women's college wrestling programs compete as members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
OCU competes against 15 colleges in the United States -- notably Missouri Baptist College, Missouri Valley College and King College (Tenn.) -- about 23 Canadian colleges and competition internationally.
Randall believes women's college wrestling will ultimately be accepted as a mainstream sport and have a presence on the major college athletics scene.
"I think it's going to continuously grow in the NAIA division and in the small private schools," Randall said. "It's unbelievable. In the last three years, it seems we're adding two to three teams every year. It's going to cause a trickle effect down to the high school level. As soon as someone starts a Division I program it is going to snowball.
"When I got hired here four years ago, that's something we were warned -- that we were possibly going to be Division I. It doesn't make any difference to me. I don't want to be Division I; now I've got to recruit against OSU [Oklahoma State University] and OU [the University of Oklahoma]. Who wants to do that?"
With the success OCU has had at the NAIA level, Randall has been able to recruit nationally despite limited financial resources. The team is allocated eight full athletic scholarships valued at about $32,000 each. Yet, with more than 20 student-athletes on the team each season, Randall allocates partial scholarships to students, who combine their athletic money with any academic scholarships or federal assistance they can obtain to make the school affordable.
The lack of athletic scholarship dollars hasn't hurt OCU's recruiting efforts, as the Stars currently have 21 players on their roster who come from 13 different states.
Michaela Hutchison started wrestling at age 7 with her brother Eli in her hometown of Soldotna, Alaska. Throughout most of middle school and high school, she was the only girl on the boys' wrestling team. Most states do not have dedicated girls' wrestling programs in their public school systems. That didn't bother Hutchison, who just wanted to wrestle.
"I didn't really notice after awhile," Hutchison said. "They just treated me like another teammate."
"I prefer to recruit girls who have been wrestling on men's teams," Randall said. "Those girls tend to be a little bit more resilient. The ones from the strictly women's programs, they have an adjustment period.
"I don't coach the girls any different than I coach the guys. I don't treat them any different. I don't do anything different. I treat them as women athletes who wrestle."
Randall's wrestlers have one primary goal for their time on campus: graduate. Once they have their degree, some of his athletes will compete to make the United States Olympic team for the 2012 Summer Games. Though he has not had any female wrestlers move on to the Olympics yet, he believes his program is unique for young women who have Olympic and educational aspirations because it will set them up for academic success and a career beyond wrestling.
"The main goal of OCU wrestlers is to graduate from college and get a degree," Randall said. "The goal of most of the girls on this team is to be Olympians, but they want to have their degrees so if it doesn't work, then they're still fine."
However, as the Olympics are currently formatted, fewer of his female than male athletes would have a chance to wrestle for their country. At the Olympic level, there are seven weight classes for men's wrestling while there are only four weight levels for women. Randall hopes the remaining three levels will be added in time for the 2012 games.
While Randall's wrestlers remain focused on their college degrees, some of them are already preparing to represent the United States in London.
"It would pretty much mean everything," Simmons said of going to the Olympic Games. "It's what I've been training for forever."
Nearly four years after the car accident almost ended her wrestling career, Simmons will begin training for the Olympics this summer after she graduates from OCU. Simmons didn't take the typical path to OCU; she joined the Stars only two seasons ago after spending a year at the Olympic Education Center following high school and taking time off in her home state of Washington. But she plans on staying in Oklahoma for two years to train while also pursuing her master's degree at OCU in health and human performance.
Women's wrestling still has a long way to go to become a mainstream sport in most colleges.
"I think women's wrestling in general is looked down upon," Hutchison said. "I think it's expanding every day. There's more and more little girls going out for wrestling.
"At airports, when we go travel, they're [travelers] like, 'You're a wrestling team? I didn't even know they had wrestling.' The news is spreading."

Jan. 16, 1940. T. J. REILLY 6 MASSAGE IMPLEMENT Filed April 5, 1938 [ZamasJflaZlJ Patented Jan. 16, 1940 UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,187,560 MAS SAGE: IMPLEMENT Thomas J. Reilly, Houston, Tex. Application April 5, 1938, Serial No. 200,212
3 Claims.
This invention relates to a dental massage implement, and more particularly to a dental massage implement of the cupping type.
In the treatment of pyorrhea and kindred dental diseases, it is recognized that stimulation of blood circulation in the gums is a most effective agency for correction. been a practice in some instances to bring about the stimulation of blood circulation by massaging the gums periodically. There are many types of implements known for massaging the gums, the most practical probably consisting of an elongated handle having projecting at. an angle at one end a small rubber suction cup which the dentist applies to the gums with a cupping or rubbing movement, accompanied by the necessary pressure. Cleanliness and sanitation are essential in applying massage treatments of the typedescribed, and it is common for the dentist to have conveniently at hand a beaker of mercurochrome or other suitable antiseptic into which, at frequent intervals, he dips the cupper. The cupper is not only cleansed in the mercurochrome bath but functions as an applicator for the .mercurochrome by depositing a quantity thereof along the gums during the massaging operation. Efiicacious gum massage requires the careful treatment of successive small areas of the gums, and the small areas being treated require close attention of the operator and careful adjustment of the .patients position to insure proper angle of .approach. The repeated applications of mercurochrome from the adjacent bath requires the frequent distention of the patients jaws and consequent discomfort forv him. In addition, the operator is required repeatedly to inspect in order to insure that upon resumption the treatment is given to all desired areas of the gums. In order to avoid this loss of time and to enable the dentist to perform the massaging continuously, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a cupping tool which will include a reservoir adapted to be filled at the beginning of the massage treatment, to contain a quantity of antiseptic sufficient to last during the entire massaging operation.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a cupping tool of the reservoir type which will be eflicicnt in operation and economical to manufacture.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a reservoir type dental cupper characterized by an arrangement of fluid passageways enabling the antiseptic automatically to be Heretofore, it'has pumped to the gums in accordance with the rate of massaging, thereby insuring full flexibility of use.
It is a further object of the invention to provide, in a modified construction, for the mechanical release from the reservoir of a portion of the antiseptic for delivery to the cupper,
thereby enabling the operator to control the supplying of'medicament irrespective of the rate of massaging.
It is another object of the invention to provide, in a further embodiment, for a flexible reservoir, so designed that the flow of medicament therefrom is entirely under the control of the operator, thereby enabling control without regard to atmospheric pressure.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features and constructional improvements, and combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described in the specification and comprehended in the accompanying claims.
Referring to the specification and the drawing forming part thereof, the latter contains:
Fig. 1, showing a longitudinal section of a reservoir type cupper constituting one form of the invention;
Fig. 2, a plan view of the reservoir cupper shown in Fig. 1;
. Fig. 3, a sectional view showing another embodiment of my invention; and
Fig. 4, a view partly in section showing still another form of the invention.
Referring to the drawing wherein similar parts are indicated by identical reference numerals throughout the several views, a dental cupper generally designated by the numeral II, Fig; 1, consists. of a tubular handleportion [2 having an inner here or recess l3 constituting the reservoir for an antiseptic, germicide, or other suitable liquid. One end 14 of the reservoir tube is externally threaded at It: to receive a threaded closure cap i1. It will be observed that the reservoir may be filled after removing the cap I! by pouring therein the desired quantity of medicament, after which the reservoir is sealed by replacing the screw cap ll. Theopposite end of the tubular handle is turned down at [8 and formed with a nipple IS. The nipple i9 is bored to provide a feed canal preferably extending at right angles with respectto the axis of the reservoir and in alignment there- 'with and has a countersunk recess 2|. The recess 2| is internally threaded to receive one end of'a connecting tube 22. The tube 22 is exlate in the well 21.
ternally threaded as shown at 23. The handle i2 is preferably rigid.
The massaging feature of the device consists of 2. preferably bell-shaped suction cup 24 having a recess 26 which may be screwed over the projecting tube 22 with a sealing fit. In the center of the suction cup and communicating with the tube 22 is provided a spherical well 21 adapted to contain an immediate supply of medicament. It will be understood that the suction cup is composed of rubber or other suitable flexible non-corrosive material, and the upper Walls 28 thereof are relatively thick so as to avoid collapse during the massage operation. The cup terminates in an outer circular lip 29 which is relatively thin and highly flexible so as to form a suction seal with the tissue being massaged. Concentric with the lip. 29 is an inner circular lip (H which, being shorter, is less flexible to transmit some of the massaging pressure through the body of the cup. :From' the foregoing it will be observed that the fluid from the reservoir I3 will flow through the feed canal 20 and tube 22 to the well 21. In-order to distribute the medicament, the walls of the suction cup are pierced to provide one or more, but preferably three, spaced feed veins 32 which communicate with the exterior of the suction cup adjacent the lip 29. It will be understood from the above that in the massaging movement the pressure of the operator upon the handle will cause the suction cup to engage the tissue with a pulsating movement causing the medicament to breathe along the capillary veins 32. In order to permit unobstructed flow of medicament during the message operation, an air inlet tube 33 is provided in the upper portion of the cup to communicate with the well 21.
It will be understood that the air tube 33 will function to supply air, as for a fountain pen, to supplant the medicament flowing from the reservoir and maintain the proper air pressure balance upon it. In the present construction, the medicament accumulates in the well 21.
" From time to time a small bubble of air will pass from the tube 33 through tube 22 and upwardly through channel 20 into the reservoir. In the absence of admission of air to the reservoir, the flow of medicament therefrom by gravity'and the flexing of the suction cup occasions a sub-atmospheric pressure Within the reservoir which, as it gradually increases, progressively retards the flow of medicament from the reservoir and hence the extent to which the medicament will accumu- Medicament in the well 21 feeds, by gravity and by capillary adhesion, to the sealing lip 29 along the feed veins 32.
Where the material of the suction cup is relatively soft or highly flexible as to create a tendency for the air tube 33 to be choked by a collapsing of the material, the continuity of the air tube 33 may be preserved by inserting therein a light but rigid tubing member 34 composed of metal or other suitable material.
In the primary embodiment of the invention described above, flow of the medicament is directly in proportion to the massaging operation. At times it is desirable that the medicament be provided in smaller or larger quantities, and to facilitate'such optional control regardless of the quantum of the massaging action, the construction shown in Fig. 3 may be employed. Therein itj'will be noted that the cupper handle consists of a tubular assembly including a cylindrical main section'36 having an axial bore 31 conammo stituting the reservoir for the cupper. At the far end the main section 36 is provided with internal threads 38 for the reception of a closure cap 39 which is externally threaded for securing within the end of the section 36. Slidable in an axial aperture 4| of the closure cap 39 is a relatively elongated valve stem 42 adapted to slide axially of the main section 36. The outer end of the valve stem protrudes beyond the closure cap 39 to receive afinger rest 43. The finger rest 43 is spaced from the closure cap 39 normally, in order to provide play for controlling the flow of medicament. A tension spring 44 coiled about the valve stem 42 is fixed immovably by one end in the closure cap 39 and at the other end is soldered or otherwise attached at 45 to the valve stem. At the opposite end of the main section there is an integral end wall 46 having an axial conical aperture 41 constituting a seat for a conical valve head 48 fixed on the end of valve stemv 42 opposite the finger control 43.
It will be observed thatthe tension of the spring .44 is normally to urge the valve head 48 to the seat 41 thereby maintaining the valve closed and the finger control 43 spaced from the closure cap 39. Adjacent the valve 48 the main section is externally threaded at 49 to engage the internally threaded end section 5| for assembly therewith. The end section 5| is provided with a corresponding bore 52 and a nipple 53 corresponding in design with the nipple [9 of Fig. 1 and provided with a suction cup mounted and operating similar to the suction cup 24 of the first embodiment.
In some circumstancesit is desirable to distribute the medicament along the inner surfaces of the suction cup rather than over the outer surfaces thereof as shown in Fig. 1. In such in stances the suction cup may be designed as illustrated in Fig. 3, the one or more feed veins 54 extending from the well 21 to the juncture of the outer and inner suction lips 29 and 3| respectively. In this construction the feeding will be substantially as explained above in connection withFig. 1, the alternate increase and decrease of pressure incident to the massaging cupping treatment resultingin a breathing action causing the medicament to flow from the well to the inner surfaces of the suction cup. As above, air is admitted through the tube 33 to the well 21 to replace the medicament obtained therefrom, the air finding its way as a small bubble along the tube 23 and into the bore 52 of the end section. If, for example, the operator desires to accomplish relatively dry massaging without normal quantity of medicament. the massaging may be continued until such time when the supply of medicament is required. Thereupon, by pressing the finger control 43, the operator will open the valve 48 against the tension of the spring 44 to permit the medicament to flow through bore 52 and canal to fill the well 27. Upon release of the valve the spring will cause same to seat in the conical aperture 41 thereby limiting further flow from the reservoir until subsequent operation. a it Another form of apparatusis'illustrated in the embodiment presented in Fig; 4. In this instance the cupper reservoir handle consists of a hollow body 55 closed at one end and formed adjacent the other end with a longitudinal slot 56 upwardly through which projects a radial control lug or finger rest 51, sc ldered or otherwise affi'xed to one flat surface of a-spring lever til 58. The spring lever 58 extends longitudinally of the handle barrel 54 and is attached to the inner surface thereof adjacent the open end by suitable securing means such as rivets 59, 59. Beyond the rivets 59 the handle barrel or reservoir 55 projects a circular shoulder 51 which is externally threaded at 62. Cemented at 63 in the open end of the barrel is the open end of a resilient sack 64 for containing a supply of medicament. This sack may be of flexible elastic water-proof material such as rubber and lies'free within the handle barrel 55 to assume its premolded shape of maximum capacity.
Assembled on the externally threaded shoulder BI is an internally threaded nipple section 66 formed similar to the corresponding'sections I9 and 53 described above, and assembled thereon is a suction cup 61 corresponding generally to the construction of the suction cups above. The suction cup 61 distinguishes from the suction cups described previously specifically in that it does'not require an air tube 33 to provide complete control for the operator. Eliminating such air tube, the operator may directly control the flow of medicament while performing the massaging operation by controlling the pressure on the control lug 51. By reference to Fig. 4, it will be observed that depression of the lug 51 will cause the lever 58 to squeeze the resilient sack 84 causing the medicament to be ejected through the open throat thereof at the shoulder The medicament thus expelled will flow along the nipple feed canal and in the well of the suction cup, and flow therefrom along the feed veins to distribute the medicament over the tissue being treated.
Although in filling the modifications of Figs. 1 and 3 it is most convenient to do so by first removing the end closure caps 11 and 39, respectively, such operation is not required for the refilling of the embodiment of Fig. 4. This embodiment may be refilled by depressing the finger control lug 51 to its fullest extent thereby entirely collapsing the resilient sack 64. After immersing the suction cup in a vessel of the medicament, the control lug 51 may be released, causing the reservoir to be filled by suction, the medicament flowing upwardly into the reservoir as the resilient sack resumes its molded contours.
In the constructions described above, the parts are readily detachable, the manner and means for assembly being extremely simple. All affected portions of the construction are readily accessible for separate sterilizing. Particularly important is the factor that the suction cups are readily detachable and may be sterilized independently of the body portion of the implement. Moreover, because of the exceptional simplicity of design, all portions of the apparatus are capable of being manufactured at such relatively small cost that with each implement it is practicable to have a number of suction cups. The suction cups are capable of being manufactured and supplied at low cost and may be graded to correspond with the several requirements of the dentists practice as, for example, in terms of flexibility and/or sizes of the medicament feed veins.
A particularly advantageous feature of the invention is its ready adaptability to establish methods; save for the minor attention requisite to filling the reservoir, the device may be utilized exactly as cuppers have been used heretofore, except that it is no longer necessary for the dentist continually to withdraw and reinsert his hand into the patients mouth during the massaging process. By use of the present apparatus, affording as it does a continual and easily controlled supply for medicament, the patient can readily and comfortably adjust himself to the dentist's treatment with a minimum of discomfort, and the dentists operations may proceed with much greater comfort and eflicacy than heretofore.
Although in the above description reference has been made to certain details of construction which have been found advantageous and specific details of method suggested for their employment, it will be understood that the invention is not limited thereby but only by the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A suction type dental cupper including an elongated section to be held in the hand and a suction element at one end thereof having a substantially unbroken peripheral edge, reservoir means in the handle for retaining a supply of medicament, well in the suction element for the medicament, and means for feeding the medicament from the well to the external surface of the suction member.
2. In a dental cupper, the combination of a substantially rigid reservoir handle element for cupping medicament and a hollow flexible suction element having a substantially continuous outwardly flaring contact lip at one end thereof for cupping application under the lip to the gum, a conduit in the suction element communieating the suction element with the interior of the reservoir, a second conduit in the suction element communicating with the first conduit for dispensing medicament from the reservoir during the cupping operation, and a valve at the end of the reservoir and controllable from the outside of the other end of the reservoir for controlling the flow of medicament therefrom.
3. In a dental cupper, the combination of a substantially rigid reservoir handle element for cupping medicament, a flexible reservoir in the handle element, a hollow flexible suction element having a substantially continuous outwardly flaring contact lip at one end thereof for cupping application under the lip to the gum, a com duit in the suction element communicating the suction element with the interior of the reservoir, a second conduit in the suction element communicating with the first conduit for dis pensing medicament from the reservoir during the cupping operation, and a leaf spring engaging said flexible reservoir for controlling the discharge of medicament therefrom.

"The editors of this volume have worked hard to make Owen's unrivalled insight into the Christian's inner war with sin accessible to all, and the result is truly a godsend."
—J. I. Packer, Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College
"To read Owen is to mine spiritual gold. Unfortunately, as in mining, reading Owen is hard work. Now, Kelly Kapic and Justin Taylor have made Owen's work accessible to modern readers while still retaining his unique writing style."
—Jerry Bridges, author, The Pursuit of Holiness
"With brilliant editorial efforts and insightful introductions by Kapic and Taylor, John Owen's magnificent treatises on sin and sanctification have been made available for a new generation."
—David S. Dockery, President, Trinity International University
"Sin is tenacious, but by God's grace we can hate it and hunt it. John Owen provides the master guide for the sin-hunter. Kapic and Taylor bring together three of Owen's classics, clarifying them in simple ways—but all the substance, the careful, hounding arguments are still there."
—Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC; President, 9Marks
"John Owen understood how the gospel makes us well. Three cheers for Kapic and Taylor for introducing a new generation to Owen's peerless works."
—Sinclair B. Ferguson, Professor of Systematic Theology, Redeemer Seminary, Dallas, Texas
"John Owen is a spiritual surgeon with the rare skill to cut away the cancer of sin and bring gospel healing to the sinner's soul. Apart from the Bible, I have found his writings to be the best books ever written to help me stop sinning the same old sins."
—Philip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College
"John Owen's wisdom is the missing link in our culture's confusion about sexual sin. Kapic and Taylor's matchless edition renders transparent the practical theology of one of the great Puritan thinkers, bringing Owen to accessible light without sacrificing theological integrity. I consistently use this book in women's studies and one-on-one discipling and counseling, especially with women who struggle with unwanted lesbian desires and pornography. Understanding that indwelling sin manipulates believers and how to deal with this is, sadly, the best kept secret in contemporary evangelical discourse on sin. Understanding sin rightly allows believers to glorify God with rugged love, as Owen shows us that repentance of sin is itself the threshold to our merciful God. Every believer should read this book."
—Rosaria Butterfield, former tenured Professor of English at Syracuse University; author, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert; mother, pastor's wife, and speaker
"No writer has taught me more about the dynamics of the heart and the deceitfulness of sin than John Owen. Read this book carefully; it will help you understand your heart and experience God's grace."
—C. J. Mahaney, Senior Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky

Product Description
From Booklist
*Starred Review* Whether he's writing Hap Collins-Leonard Pine mysteries, genre-bending horror novels, or his own blend of historical fiction and gritty country noir, cult-favorite Lansdale rarely hits a wrong note. He's a superb stylist and a first-rate storyteller, and his sandpaper wit never fails to scratch out a brand of humor that hovers somewhere between knee-slap funny and painfully revelatory. He's in his country-noir mode here, in what just may be his best novel yet. The tale begins with a hold-your-breath set piece in which red-haired beauty Sunset Jones kills her husband, Pete, who happened to be raping her at the time. Given all that, it comes as a surprise to the residents of Camp Rapture, an ironically named sawmill settlement in Depression-era East Texas, when Sunset's mother-in-law, majority owner of the mill, arranges to have Sunset replace Pete as the settlement's constable. Soon enough, Sunset--with the help of two deputies, both with romantic designs on their boss--is investigating the murder of a woman and her unborn child, a crime that may implicate Pete. Lansdale layers the mystery elements skillfully, building to an action-filled climax, but where he really shines is in his evocation of both the desperation and the determination that grew from the dirt of the Depression. Sunset is a marvelous character; you don't see many feminist heroines in the femme-fatale world of noir, which makes her emergence, her coming-of-age in an age set firmly against her, so exhilarating.

"[Sunset and Sawdust is] filled with turns and twists, nastiness, broad humor, moments of grace. . . . Lansdale is a storyteller in the great American tradition." –The Boston Globe
"A wonderfully nasty piece of work [that] inspires I-can't-believe-this laughter. . . . Very entertaining." –Newsday
The opening . . . will grab unsuspecting readers by the lapels and pull them right in. . . . Lansdale's prose--laconic and sarcastic--is so thick with slang and regional accent that it's as tasty as a well-cured piece of beef jerky." --The Denver Post
"Lansdale is an exceptional storyteller . . . readers will feel the Texas heat and hear the story in the author's unique East Texas drawl. The vivid characterization will make readers cheer for the protagonist and boo the villain." --Rocky Mountain News
"Delivers the unexpected and bizarre that his fans have come to expect. . . . The narrative is entertaining, but Lansdale's patently unvarnished storytelling–backwoods and brash all at once–is the real reason to crack this cover." --Texas Monthly
"Funny, bloody and bizarre. . . . Another five-star doozy of a tale from an immensely talented and original storyteller." --The Flint Journal
"Sunset Jones is the kind of woman that men who drink in East Texas bars would call a 'pistol.' As a tornado rips through the sawmill camp town of Rapture, in the rousing opening scene of Joe R. Lansdale's historical barnburner Sunset and Sawdust, Sunset finally puts a stop to her husband Pete's bloody beatings. . . . Soon Sunset has her own posse, including a wonderful dog whose abject adoration of the fiery gunslinger pretty much sums up this reader's feelings." --The New York Times Book Review
"A first-rate whodunnit. . . . [Lansdale] knows how to tell a story." --The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Sly, easy-paced and so comfortable in its setting that it becomes almost seductive. This is what good storytelling is all about." --Arizona Republic
"Lansdale can catch that meandering East Texas twang in his writing, but just as quickly he can tighten the plot and our stomachs with a turn of phrase. . . . Lansdale gives us both atmosphere and action." --Winston-Salem Journal
"Surrealistic. . . . Unpredictable. . . . A darker kind of storytelling." --Pittsburg Tribune-Review --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Receiving unexpected moral and political support from her mother in law Marilyn, who feels partially responsible for her son's vile behavior, Sunset is appointed to serve the remainder of Pete's term as Constable of Rapture. Assisted by the plain spoken Clyde, and the handsome and mysterious drifter Hillbilly, Sunset finds herself at the center of a murder mystery involving her husband's mistress and unborn child. What follows is pure Lansdale, including a couple of beatings, a house fire, sweaty sex, gunplay, creepy villains (one of whom previously appeared in Lansdale's outstanding short novel The Big Blow), unexpected plot twists, and general mayhem.
Lansdale continues on his impressive upward climb of constant refinement and improvement, producing a book that exceeds the high expectations created by such previous successes as the Edgar Award winning The Bottoms and 2003's A Fine Dark Line. In the hands of a lesser writer, the events depicted in Sunset and Sawdust might read like an over the top country soap opera, but Lansdale's distinctive voice, combined with his emotional wisdom and his abiding affection for even the most despicable of his characters, transforms these incidents into affecting drama.Read more ›
What gives SUNSET AND SAWDUST some extra kick, however, is a sense that even if Lansdale has covered similar territory in the past, he's still examining it with a hungry and restless eye. His use of a female protagonist, the redhead constable Sunset Jones, might be just the ingredient that keeps SUNSET AND SAWDUST so fresh and unpredictable. Lansdale has always written convincing female characters, but it's fun to see him examine the whole boy-girl thing from the other side of the fence.
The enduring Lansdale theme of people with power behaving badly towards people without it is at play once again in SUNSET AND SAWDUST. But the main character, the recently self-widowed redheaded constable who is on the lookout for a killer and also a moral center, helps muddy up that notion quite considerably.
There's also an arsenal of well written supporting characters in SUNSET AND SAWDUST that helps keep the novel well balanced and fun to read. A noticeable progression in some of these characters' front porch philosophizing adds to the overall adventurousness of the novel. SUNSET AND SAWDUST doesn't just sit there. . .it reaches out into the dark and does its damndest to grab hold of something.
And it succeeds.Read more ›
Set in the heat parched environs of Camp Rapture (known to the local employees as "Camp Rupture"), East Texas during the Great Depression, "Sunset and Sawdust" tells us everything we would want to know about a spirited firecracker named Sunset Jones. The adventure begins when Sunset (so named because of her mane of bright red hair) murders her abusive husband during a tornado strike. Regrettably for Sunset, her husband Pete was the town constable and the son of the primary owners of the local saw mill. It takes a lot of guts to stroll into the mill and tell Pete's parents what she did, but Sunset is the type of gal who always lives up to her responsibilities.Read more ›
