It was sudden and agonizing. After eight years of running around after their miniature Dachshund, Harley, Roger and Susan Jorgensen were at a stand still, unexpectedly having to consider euthanizing a dog who'd gone from frolicking to frozen in just a matter of days. Thankfully, a treatment originally created for cats would improve this dog's quality of life as quickly as osteoarthritis had taken it.
"Just out of the blue — boom — he was laid up pretty bad," says Susan, who was shocked when the usually happy Harley abruptly stopped playing, eating, and even walking.
"Harley was so bad that he would just hide under our bed and wouldn't come out," Roger remembers.
Susan eventually coaxed Harley out and brought him to his vet. X-rays revealed osteoarthritis, and medication was prescribed, but Harley's decline continued, and euthanasia was eventually discussed as an option to end Harley's suffering.
Harley's X-rays revealed why his joints were suddenly causing him so much pain.
As a former veterinary assistant, Susan knew the diagnosis of osteoarthritis is as common as it is debilitating, impacting tens of millions of dogs in America each year. The symptoms are commonly treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but not all dogs can tolerate the drugs — especially elderly dogs or those who've had kidney, liver, or heart problems. For Harley, traditional drugs did little to relieve the symptoms that immobilized him.
Susan and Roger looked for holistic or alternative treatments for Harley, but their hope diminished each time they saw Harley struggle to stand, then shiver and shake once he did.
Roger's friend Terry is also known as Dr. Beardsley, an immunologist and the developer of Lymphocyte T-Cell Immunomodulator (LTCI).
Beardsley studied congenital immune deficiency while receiving his doctorate at Baylor College of Medicine Graduate School. He did a post-doctoral fellowship in nuclear medicine and radiation biology at the University of California, and during that time discovered the protein known as LTCI.
A naturally occurring biological treatment, LTCI became the first USDA-approved treatment for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in cats about nine years ago. Cats with these diseases have low white blood cell counts and compromised immune systems. They often suffer upper respiratory infections, skin lesions, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and anemia.
Dr. Beardsley used the LTCI treatment to enhance the immune systems of FeLV/FIV-infected cats and significantly improve their clinical symptoms and quality of life.
Over the years, researchers continued to study the protein, and eventually the impact it has on autoimmune responses was revealed to be useful for treating osteoarthritis in dogs.
This year, LTCI became the first USDA-approved treatment for canine osteoarthritis — just when Harley needed it. It's administered to dogs by a veterinarian as a subcutaneous injection. Harley got three shots a week for two weeks, followed by two more shots per week for two weeks.
Roger and Susan could tell their dog was feeling better right away (in fact, Harley felt so good at first that he overdid things a bit, wearing himself out by moving too much), and when the first week of injections was complete, the Dachshund's condition seemed to have reversed as quickly as it had come. When Susan woke up the morning after the third shot, she was astonished to see Harley running toward her, wagging his tail.
"He was up, eating, and running around — when before couldn't even walk," says Susan, who hated to think her dog had been a candidate for humane euthanasia just days earlier.
"He's a puppy again," she explains, adding that Harley can now be found jumping on and off the couch and chasing his favorite ball around the house.
The 17-pound Dachshund isn't the only dog to have made great strides since using LTI. A double-blind study found 90 percent of the dogs who received LTCI treatments experienced significantly improved mobility. Those results are what prompted the USDA's Center for Veterinary Biologics to grant conditional approval of LTCI's use as an aid in the treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs 1 year old and up.
Susan says all she knows is that it worked for her dog, and she hopes other pet parents will consider this little known treatment — something Roger wholeheartedly agrees with.
"It's basically a miracle," he says.

In a busy weekend for Harvard golf, the women's team continued its recent dominance of the Ivy League. The group captured its sixth Ivy League Championship in the last eight years, bringing the program's tally to eight titles overall.
A week after one of the toughest losses of the year against No. 7/6 Penn (8-3, 6-0 Ivy League), tri-captain and junior attacker Kyle Anderson came out and tied his career high with seven goals in a stellar performance against Princeton in an effort to keep playoff hopes alive for the Crimson.
Over the past two weeks, all four of the Crimson's crews took to the water to partake in tenacious battles of physical exertion and mental fortitude. Through high tides and low tides, all displayed a competitiveness indicative of the immense training that has propelled them to the solid teams they are today. With the large regattas of the postseason looming near, the warmer weather signals the heating up of this spring's competition.
For the first time, but certainly not the last, in her lengthy and lucrative tenure as Harvard's head softball coach, Jenny Allard was moments away from making history.
In a heartbreakingly cruel twist of fate, the UMass Minutemen stormed back in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the ballgame 10-9.
The 2018-2019 iteration of the Crimson convened for one final time on Monday, where team members voted in the triad of letter-wearers — only the second instance of three captains in program history.
Just as Harvard was ready to saunter away from the quagmire that is Operation Varsity Blues, we were hit with an admissions scandal on our own front piste.
On Tuesday evening, Harvard men's basketball honored its six outgoing seniors and announced its captains for the upcoming 2019-2020 campaign.
The men's and women's teams both traveled to Princeton, N.J. for the Princeton Invitational and Matchplay Madness events, respectively.
Here is a look at the seniors who will be leading the Crimson into the postseason.

Dandenong Skyrail debate continues
by Daniel Thu 30 June 2016 Thu 30 June 2016 transport
There are some incredible sights coming out of the Bentleigh/Mckinnon/Ormond level crossing removal works, and I'll post some pictures (and hopefully video) tomorrow.
But in the mean time, early works on the "CD9" Caulfield to Dandenong 9 "Skyrail" crossings is also happening.
I don't have a big update for you, but I recently bashed out this summary of the debate around this project on Reddit, and I thought I'd repost it here:
There's the residents who live very close, many of whom don't want an elevated line next to their houses (though some do not object as they see the advantages from the land opened up). Some of their concerns are perhaps exaggerated, but some are genuine and legitimate.
There's the Liberals who sense this is a weakness of the Dandrews ALP government, and are exploiting it for all its worth.
For most other people, I suspect they just want the crossings gone ASAP, and with the least disruption possible. (For perspective, the Frankston line shutdown that has just begun is said to be the biggest since the City Loop was under construction, and involves 100+ buses at peak times. The Dandenong line is twice as busy and involves three times as many stations.)
Removing crossings doesn't just benefit motorists. It also benefits pedestrians, bus users, cyclists and emergency services, and it enables more (and eventually, longer) trains on the most crowded line on the system, as well as improving safety/train reliability.
At least, that's how I see it. What do you think?
The discussion on Reddit raised some interesting points, and is worth a look if you're not offended by an occasional smattering of coarse language.
They're never going to convince those most vehemently opposed to it, but it is important that the government keeps talking to everyone involved, and accommodates any reasonable request for information, or that can help minimise impacts from construction and from the final design.
PS. There have been some good discussions on Twitter about the project, but a small number of people have resorted to throwing insults and accusations around. I'm going to stop engaging with those people, and though I hate to do it, will block people who become abusive.

Well write Daniel, yes I originally had concerns about Skyrail but have now a better understanding of the overall project (thanks to extensive consultation with Level Crossing Authority & PTUA committee members) & I just want to see it really start to be built & the sooner it starts the sooner it'll be finished.
Murrumbeena resident says:
I think the project is unethical- crosses a line in a way thats unprecedented. Essentially it places the value of a few months of increased convenience for PT users/ the inconvenience of moving a gas pipe and draining the site over a community's right to decide what they will live with for decades. When inconvenience is placed higher on the list of concerns than the right to self determination, then watch out Victorians
Thu 30 June 2016 at 11:20 am
I've been reading your Bentleigh updates with interest and admittedly a bit of envy too Daniel (not withstanding the bustitution hassles!), wondering what would have been if we were getting trenches instead of elevated rails in our neck of the Carnegie woods. Whilst the same pro & con arguments keep getting trotted out because of the lack of any new meaningful/reliable information being publicly released, the LXRA have been much better of late with contacting us about preliminary work and what impacts we can expect. It's mainly involving tree removal for the moment (AKA 'vegetation management') but more frustrating is still not being advised about eligibility in relation to the voluntary purchase scheme despite registering a couple of months ago, plus of course the mysteries around construction timelines and final design.
Given the lack of concrete (!) information it's no surprise that the Libs have taken to agitating the waters but that's not particularly helpful to those who are living with uncertainty, it just creates more spin around what we don't know. Carnegie is a fairly big suburb and I'd say maybe 90% of residents won't even see the rail so for the other 10% it seems reasonable that we demand more than survey results and gas pipeline lessons.
Thu 30 June 2016 at 12:01 pm
I'm convinced a lot of people don't know the difference between trench and actual underground rail. When Bentleigh to Ormond is finished, it'll give a local example of what the CD9 could otherwise look like and maybe change a few minds (hopefully it looks a little better than Gardiner outbound, but not holding my breath).
A lack of details in light of the reasons for the EW Link cancellation doesn't help the cause either..
Thu 30 June 2016 at 1:04 pm
@Murrumbeena resident, this is a real quandry, and of course not uncommon with big projects.
In this case we've got the differing interests of local residents, traders, rail users, road users and others (remembering that there's some overlap). Each proposal has pros and cons for each group; it's not black and white, which is why I disagree with those like the Opposition who claim rail under is the "proper" way of doing it.
Sure, permanent resident impacts might theoretically outweigh temporary inconvenience… but it's a bit more difficult to weigh it up when we're talking about hundreds of residents vs disruption to tens of thousands of train/road users over a very long period… let alone the trader impacts (those in Bentleigh/Mckinnon/Ormond are REALLY upset about their loss of livelihood over a much shorter period). There are also immediate huge benefits if the project is completed more quickly.
There are no easy answers here, and the Libs getting stuck in (including ridiculous claims that they didn't build rail over road even though they did just that at Sunshine just a few years ago) isn't helping at all.
@Deb, it's good to know LXRA is getting better at information, but given the criticisms I keep hearing about detailed modelling and voluntary purchase, it seems clear improvement is needed.
(By the way, PTUA obviously primarily represents passengers, not residents, but we said very early on in talks with LXRA that they should offer voluntary purchase to those who want it. I'm glad they finally accepted that it had to be provided as an option.)
@Nick, I think in this context when people say "underground" they mean "trench"… yes perhaps seeing the project finished will provide some perspective, though Springvale is a recently completed project in the area too.
I noticed that Brighton Beach railway station car park was almost full at 6:30 this morning (it's usually about one third full by then). Clearly commuters from Frankston line are parking there and taking Sandy train. I wonder how quickly the car park will fill once school holidays finish?
Marcus W says:
@nick – the go-to modern example of trenched rail is Nunawading – Mitcham: it's ugly from all directions, with the only 'upside' being that neighbouring residents can't see it.
http://railgallery.wongm.com/metro-trains-melbourne/F114_7230.jpg.html
Agree its not black and white but still feel fundamentally wronged. Permanent residents opposing this are exhausted, want to resolve it- are trying to reconcile themselves to losing so much they care about in this process, (in favour of a whole bunch of things they care alot less about), but its not easy when there is so little to go on. If you know for sure that rail under is impossible, or astronomically expensive you might be able to square it up in your mind, but we have been presented with no evidence- no business case, no other design quotes to examine, just "the design", a few pamphlets on problems with gas pipelines and drainage that independent engineers tell us are not hard to solve. If this solution is just so fantastic, surely we can be trusted to reach this conclusion for ourselves, given all the right information ie via genuine consultation- instead we are being sent to the corner and told to stop whinging when we are just asking legitimate questions! The only aspects of this project that I liked- could console myself with were access under the line and the possibility that our trees and heritage stations might be preserved. Now they are cutting down our trees and telling us the stations will be demolished. I do empathise with passenger disruption- thats really hard- but I just don't feel its fair to value a few extra months disruption higher than the long term rights of a whole community. 500-1000 (depending on who you speak to) have marched against this project 10 days ago and there is a petition against it with nearly 9000 signatures- thats much more than "hundreds of residents". And it includes plenty of local traders.. Sorry to rant but I have never felt so pushed around by a state government in my entire life and most of my neighbours feel the same.
@Murrumbeena Resident, the slow drip feed of information really isn't good enough. Whether one supports the project, is against it, or is on the fence, the evidence really should be presented. Instead we've seen some information released well after it should have been, and other questions remain unanswered.
Following up some points made on Twitter today about skyrail vs trench rail outcomes for passengers:
@Nsrlizzy > Better access particularly for disabled. If there are stoppages mid stations which we know there will be then evacuation easy
I'm not sure how getting people out of a train stuck in a cutting is easier than if stuck on an elevated track. Anything's going to be harder than ground level.
@Nsrlizzy > They are only replacing 2 with 2. Go down and they can replace 2 with 3 or 4 & trains CAN keep running. Govt is hiding info
Whether the line is up or down isn't a factor in that though. And the other upgrades coming will more than double capacity. Agree they're not being very good at talking about it.
@Nsrlizzy > Did you know there is no nett overall increase in car parking? They can't achieve it with all the pylons.
The government is promising more parking, but I'd be happier with no overall increase in spaces. It's a very inefficient way of getting people onto trains. There are better uses for the space.
It seems unlikely to me that they wouldn't be able to put parking under the structures due to the pylons. Having seen elevated rail recently in Singapore, there's no shortage of space available. Closer to home, they've managed parking underneath existing road overpasses, eg Oakleigh (where the space under the structure is much more restrictive).
@Nsrlizzy > There is no open space gain between Grange and Poath Rds. Skyrail is the quickest way for my daughter to get a car.
Assuming these are two separate points, I'm not sure what you mean here. If space underneath and around the tracks becomes usable, that's clearly a gain in open space.
I'm not sure why sky rail would make a difference whether your daughter gets a car, compared to elevated rail or the status quo?

@murrumbeena resident
I'd be very sceptical of assurances given by so-called independent engineers. I've looked at some of the material offered as alternatives by the "you deserve to know more" crew. They contain fundamental flaws, grossly inadequate assumptions, and do not address the technical challenges of deliverability. And they are entirely uncosted. They offer false hope of alternatives that have not been helpful to the debate.
I agree that the official design process has been unsatisfactory – the stunning lack of published options and design detail would never pass a normal Victorian council or state planning authority process. But this is not limited to the Skyrail project – it is true of all the level crossing removal projects I've followed, over or under, past and present. Try, for example, to find options, designs, coatings and discussion about how best to achieve grade separation at Springvale Rd Springvale, or Taylors Rd Keilor Downs, or Anderson Rd Sunshine. The details are known, obviously, but are held tightly inside the development authority. If there's one thing we should all be campaigning for, collectively, it's greater transparency and access to designs, options and costing documents that we – as state residents and voters – are paying for.
Fri 1 July 2016 at 11:11 am
Regarding evacuation from trains – elevated tracks can be built with a platform the entire length of the viaduct, providing sound deadening for the wheel/rail interface as well as a emergency exit path.
The Ma On Shan line in Hong Kong is a good example of how this can be applied:

http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/misc/ehk06/images/07/e07.08_e.jpg
@Michael Bell you've got an excellent point, obviously being an affected resident I hate the prospect of living next to/under elevated rail lines but if that's what it takes to lose the crossings and get rid of the dysfunction on this line then I will find a way to live with it. But in the vacuum of space created by the government's woeful lack of transparency & secrecy around critical information, is it any wonder that we end up with conspiracy theories, opportunistic politicians and special interest groups giving false hope to people who are being kept in the dark and not being given the answers they desperately need.
It must be convenient that the public are distracted by thrashing this out on social media whilst the govt quietly keeps the good, bad & ugly to themselves but like you said, we're all paying for it and as such we are entitled to more than a couple of glossy brochures and empty promises.
Sat 2 July 2016 at 3:12 pm
In response to a series of tweets from @NoSkyrail after I asked a different Twitter user: "Can you point me to something which outlines a better outcome for (rail users) from rail under?"
@NoSkyrail: "less unplanned interruptions. Chaotic rushed Skyrail works building temp signalling caused 9 major malfunctions so far." … " 7 signal malfunctions, barriers stuck for 4-5 hours blocking cars and major unplanned delays for train passengers. 2 for 1-2hr"
This seems to be the claim from some of the anti-skyrail activists. Yet when I've asked around, it seems it's more about the upgrades for axle counters due to the V/Line level crossing issue that emerged earlier this year.
It is true that any level crossing removal might require moving of some rail-related infrastructure – whether it's skyrail or trench. But I'm struggling to think of why it would be worse or more risky with skyrail.
@NoSkyrail: "station platforms are not 10m high in the air, scary for those afraid of heights."
That's the first time I've heard that one. Intesting thought. Has anybody complained of fear of heights in this context? It's not as if elevated stations are new… think Balaclava, Gardenvale, Glenferrie, Newmarket, plenty of others.
@NoSkyrail: "rail under platforms more open and pleasant than giant dark metal cocoon used in Skyrail. Also wind tunnel when wind blows."
That might be your opinion. I didn't get that sense seeing similar elevated platforms in Singapore – the "cocoon" is partly open to the weather. There was no wind-tunnel effect, though I don't remember it being particularly windy.
Some have complained about platforms below road level, such as this from commenter Andrew: One of the first deep trenches was Watsonia in 1979. Even now I can remember standing on the platform at Watsonia at the time and feeling, not unsafe exactly, but isolated and hidden. Quite a different feeling to that on an elevated platform where you feel exposed and in the open.
@NoSkyrail: "Drilling by @levelcrossings causes underpass tunnel to flood. Residents nearly hit crossing dark bridge #LXRAWatch https://youtu.be/UoQTjWWtCh4" and "No one will die with organised planned rail under works unlike chaotic rushed Skyrail works"
I hate to break it to you, but moving the railway line under the road requires WAY more drilling and tunnelling and digging. Flooding the Carnegie underpass sounds like a big stuff-up, but could happen no matter which method is used. (For instance some of the early works digging at Bentleigh resulted in a gas leak which stopped trains for some hours.)
@NoSkyrail: "commuters are also taxpayers, Skyrail is novel project with no plan, cost, business case. "Just get it done" =MykiV2″ … "it'll end up taking twice as long, cost twice as much, more disruptions. People will be wishing tried true rail-under instead"
Well, that starts to sound like speculation to me.
@NoSkyrail: "passenger/train commuters are one small part of the community. Many other people/factors to consider with Skyrail"
Yep, as noted above in comment 5.

As a resident of Carnegie of 33 years I fully support Skyrail. However, it should be 4 tracks and continue over Warrigal, Golf Links, and North Roads. Warrigal Rd and North Road flyovers to be removed and both roads widened to improve traffic flow. Both those flyovers are nearing the end of their use by date. A short spur could be constructed at the North Rd median strip for the rail line to Monash University so there is no disruption to the Dandenong rail service when that rail line is built. Do it now and do it properly and it will save so much money and disruption in the future.
Mon 12 September 2016 at 8:58 pm
Murrumbeena resident. To get rid of the level crossings is commendable and long overdue. However to remove so many large mature trees is nothing short of environmental vandalism. If there is good reasons for this tree removal, why isn't this information readily available? Haven't seen the Owls that were frequenting our area since these works began, coincidence?

In terms of land use, viaducts use significantly less space horizontally. With a cutting, it's not the tracks that take up the space. It's the associated earthworks to stabilise the walls and soil. A battered wall takes up a lot of space, and a piled wall while uses less, is much more expensive (but still isn't zero).
Whether a tree is kept or not is based on an arborists assessment, which will usually look at the root mass. Tree roots are shallow, but can extend quite far. Trees won't only be removed if they are in the way – they will also be removed if there is a risk of destabilisation, destruction to root mass that could eventually kill that tree (and hence fall on someone), even the risk of it falling in a wind event, or causing "tree stress" that can shorten the life of a tree significantly. It is all good to say save the trees, but people's safety comes first. And with trees in close proximity to each other, the root masses will cross each other. Meaning that if you remove one tree, you will destabilise the other. So they all have to go.

Turkey's Canal Obsession Could Upset Regional Stability – OpEd
December 31, 2019 December 30, 2019 Arab News 0 Comments
By Arab News
By Yasar Yakis*
The Turkish government seems set to dig a canal in Istanbul to link the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea. It will constitute a second link between the two seas in addition to an existing natural waterway, the Istanbul Strait (Bosporus), 30-40 km to the east. The government claims that the main purpose of the project is to alleviate heavy traffic in the Bosporus.
The opponents of the project claim that it is more a pretext to create rent for real estate developers and to further enrich pro-government contractors. They also want to know who purchased real estate in areas along the canal's route.
The initial estimates say that the construction may cost US$15–20 billion. It also has geological, environmental and social implications, but this article will focus on the international law aspect of the question.
The Black Sea is the only sea whose status is regulated by an international agreement, the Montreux Convention. This convention regulates the passage through the Turkish Straits, that is to say the Dardanelles, Marmara Sea and Bosporus.
As a general rule, merchant vessels are free to use the Turkish Straits, but there are certain restrictions in case of war. These rules vary according to whether Turkey is belligerent or not. If Turkey is a belligerent party, the restrictions apply to merchant vessels according to whether or not they are vessels of countries with which Turkey is at war. If they are registered in countries that are not at war with Turkey, they are allowed to go through the Turkish Straits on condition that they do not in any way assist Turkey's enemies.
This rule also applies in the event that Turkey considers itself to be threatened with imminent danger of war.
The tightest restrictions concern the tonnage of warships. The maximum aggregate tonnage of all foreign naval forces passing through the Straits shall not exceed 15,000 tons. These forces shall not comprise more than nine ships at the same time.
The aggregate tonnage that non-Black Sea countries may have in those waters cannot exceed 30,000.
There are other restrictions as well: The warships of non-Black Sea countries are not allowed to stay in that Sea more than 21 days, whatever the reason for their presence there. Submarines must pass through the Turkish Straits in daytime and on the surface of water.
These details give an idea of the central role entrusted to Turkey in the implementation of the convention. This was thanks to the conditions that prevailed in the mid-1930s when the convention was signed. Italy had invaded Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and the predecessor of the United Nations — the League of Nations — could not do anything to prevent it. Nazi Germany had already started to threaten Czechoslovakia. In this precarious environment, Turkey was able to persuade the international community that the best way to maintain stability in the Black Sea region was to regulate the entry of non-coastal countries' warships.
This was approved and the Montreux Convention largely contributed to the stability of the region for more than 80 years.
If the Montreux Convention comes to an end one way or another, Turkey may not obtain a similar leverage for the protection of the region's stability, especially in the area covered by the Turkish Straits. In the aftermath of World War I, between 1923 and 1936 this competence was assumed by an agency called the International Straits Commission under the auspices of the League of Nations.
Turkey was able to take over this responsibility from the commission thanks to the circumstances that prevailed in mid-1930s. Such a constellation in the international arena is not likely to happen again.
What does the Montreux Convention have to do with digging a canal in Istanbul?
If a canal is dug, non-coastal countries wishing to maintain a military presence in the Black Sea may approach Turkey and ask to use the canal — rather than the Bosporus — to send their warships to the Black Sea. They may claim that Montreux Convention does not cover the new canal, therefore the restrictions imposed by the convention do not apply.
Russia will probably oppose any relaxation of the measures that restrict the entry to the Black Sea of a large number of warships of non-coastal countries, such as the US navy. Of course, Turkey is not obliged to allow the warships of the non-coastal countries into the Black Sea, but it may find itself squeezed between the applicant countries and Russia. Therefore, if the Montreux regime collapses, it is difficult to predict what type of environment may arise, especially now that Turkey is largely isolated in the international arena.

Goldman changes tune on the Fed, sees two rate cuts and early end to balance sheet rolloff
admin 4 weeks ago No Comments
The Federal Reserve may be on its way to delivering a half-point interest rate cut next month even though economic conditions don't seem to warrant such an aggressive move, according to Goldman Sachs economists.
In a substantial revision to its prior forecasts that the central bank would stand pat, Goldman now sees a likelihood of two reduction this year. Prior to this week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting, the bank had indicated that "the hurdle for mid-cycle easing is rather high."
However, a reading of the post-meeting statement combined with remarks Fed Chairman Jerome Powell made at his news conference and a realignment of individual members' forecasting "dots" has shifted that outlook considerably. Seven of 17 committee members indicated they see a 50 basis point cut in the funds rate by the end of the year, falling just short of being the consensus call, which now remains at no cuts but is expected to change.
"The results of [this week's] meeting suggest that many FOMC participants are increasingly influenced by the expectations embedded in bond market pricing and other outside influences," Jan Hatzius, Goldman's chief economist, said in a research note. "The FOMC might well deliver a 50 [basis point] cut for fear of disappointing the market, even if the economic data do not paint a particularly worrisome picture."
Indeed, market pricing concurs with that analysis.
Futures pricing points to a 2.04% funds rate by the end of August, or 33 basis points below the most recent level. From a probability standpoint, the CME's FedWatch tracker Thursday morning indicated a 100% chance of a cut at the July 30-31 FOMC meeting and a 36.4% chance that the reduction would be a half point.
The Fed's benchmark sets the rate for what banks charge each other for overnight lending, but also serves as a baseline for most consumer debt.
Goldman sees a larger cut "if the news flow disappoints and/or Fed officials feel compelled to get ahead of bond market pricing. … Conversely, the hurdle appears to be very high for the committee to forego a cut in July."
At his news conference, Powell's tone differed sharply from the May gathering when he called Fed policy "appropriate" and said it would take a lot for the Fed to move either higher or lower in rates.
Since then, markets have been roiled by heightened trade tensions, a slowdown in manufacturing data and a continued inversion of the yield curve, which historically has suggested that a recession is coming in a year or so. Financial markets have been aggressively pricing rate cuts, and Hatzius made mention of a quote from Democratic political strategist James Carville, who once said he wanted to be reincarnated as the bond market because "you can intimidate everybody."
"The magnitude of the decline in the dots, the addition of 'will act as appropriate' to the statement, and the tone of the press conference all signal that cuts are now likely. We expect two 25bp rate cuts this year, most likely in July and September," Hatzius wrote.
Balance sheet runoff could end
In addition to the call on rates, Goldman now sees the Fed's balance sheet reduction ending earlier than planned.
The Fed has been allowing a capped level of proceed from its bond holdings to roll off each month, a program that began in October 2017 and has seen a total reduction of about $600 billion. The committee said a few months ago that the rolloff would end in September, but Goldman expects the Fed to announce in July that the program will wrap up in early August.
Powell himself said the Fed is keeping its options open.
"Of course, we haven't made any decisions yet," he said in response to a question. "Balance sheet runoff is very close to the end of its planned life … I will certainly keep in mind what we said earlier this year, which is we'll always be ready to adjust balance sheet policy so it serves our dual mandate objective."
Goldman found other clues as to the direction in Fed policy, also citing the statement's phrasing that the committee "will act as appropriate," without qualifying it with "as always." That type of move, Hazius wrote, "usually presages policy action."
"Our reading of the meeting suggests that growth concerns are the primary justification, with low inflation lowering the hurdle required for Fed action," Hatzius said.

The bigger the number the better. This is the unsung motto of the denominations today. Churches today would leave the impression with their gargantuan assemblies that Jesus said, "Broad is the gate and easy is the way that leads to life, and there are many who go in by it!" But wait, Jesus said, "Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it," (Matt. 7:14). Jesus would further proclaim, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword," (Matt. 10:34) indicating that the way is indeed rigorous. This type of teaching would lead to many of his disciples forsaking Him in John 6:66. This is not the portrayal in the modern mega-church era.
Mega-churches are by definition, churches with more than 2,000 people in attendance on an average weekly basis (Bird, 2012). Warren Bird cites the earliest known church to have more than 2,000 members and sustain that number through the 21st century as the Moody Church of Chicago (2012). Subsequently modern community churches like Life Church may not equal 2,000 in weekly attendance (or maybe they do) but when a police officer is required to safely direct the traffic into and out of the church…the church is too big. This truth can be understood from reading 1 Thessalonians 2.
"We (Paul, Silas, and Timothy) were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us…as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children," (1 Thess. 2:7-11).
Paul, Silas, and Timothy's relationship with these brethren was as personal and intimate as a mother's care for her children and a father's love for his children. No greater bond of love can be found than the two used in illustration by Paul. This is how well Paul knew these brethren on an individual basis. Certainly he could not have said these words had the church been 2,000 in attendance every week, even if he had stayed in Thessalonica for years on end. These verses exemplify the Christian unity and closeness required of every congregation.
This bond of unity is impossible when there are so many people in attendance that one cannot remember the names of people, let alone actually know the people. Bigger numbers do not equate to a better church. This is only one of many reasons that mega-churches fail to meet the New Testament church example.
Both of Paul's epistles to young Timothy teach a great deal about basic truths that Timothy needed to learn in order to become a successful servant for Jesus Christ. These truths are plainly seen in the first chapter of the first letter to Timothy. The apostle wastes no time in telling Timothy why he left him at Ephesus. This journey refers to one of Paul's missionary journeys in Acts where Paul went to Ephesus, accompanied by Timothy, but departed to Macedonia shortly after arriving at Ephesus. Verses 3-4 point out the reason for their separation. Paul instructed Timothy to ensure the teaching of the gospel was for the use of edifying because several law lovers had deceived some of the new congregational teachers at Ephesus by binding fables and "endless" genealogies as New Testament truths. These were not for the use of edifying, but rather to promote pointless question asking that caused many to veer from the truth! Timothy had to stop the spread of this false doctrine, or the church at Ephesus would fall into apostasy! Listen to Paul's words on how such error is combated. He says, "the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned;" For the Christian, that is the basics of Christian living. Thayer even says that the word "commandment" mentioned in verse 5 refers to right living! How do you refute false doctrine? How do you destroy scorners of church members? How do you combat evil? Your actions must bespeak your name—Christian. We have to live righteously. This is done through charity (love) out of a pure heart, a good conscience, and faith unfeigned. But then Paul says, "from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling." It is apparent that some of the members at Ephesus had erred from the truth that edifies and turned unto "vain jangling" which is defined as "empty chatter." It is interesting that the Greek word astocheo is translated "swerved" in this verse. In the English, this word means "to deviate from; miss the mark." Yet this same Greek word is found in two other passages, both in the epistles to Timothy. But in the other two verses, the English word translated is "erred." They all mean the same thing, but this is noteworthy because the verb "swerved" is a good way to describe some Christians today. They believe the truth and obey it, but somewhere along the way, an abrupt right turn is taken, and they have veered far from the straight and narrow.
Over the years, many have deviated from the divine Word in an effort to justify their own personal beliefs and life styles! That's what these law lovers were doing. They muddied the waters surrounding what had to be obeyed, and what had been fulfilled; the result was the swerving of members from the truth because the law lovers were clinging to their Jewish heritage out of pride. Today, it's the same thing! Some have swerved because of their pride. Yet God does not justify swerving. He gives us three principles to practice in verse 5 to prevent swerving and pride. Time will not permit discussion of those three principles, but charity out of a pure heart, a good conscience, and faith unfeigned is God's solution to swerving. May we all seek after these things, so we do not miss the mark.

Precious Gemstones Used in Antique Jewelry
The craftsmanship found in the imaginative arrangement of precious stones, metals, and natural materials, found in antique jewelry has had a universal appeal since earliest times. Antique jewelry has been worn for many reasons apart from just enhancing natural beauty. It has been worn as status symbols, as religious talismans, for memorial of loved ones, displays of affection to name just a few.
In this blog on antique jewelry, instead of looking at the different types of vintage jewelry, we are going to look at the four main precious gemstones used in antique jewelry. They are of course: diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald.
In the history throughout the years of antique jewelry, of the precious gems, rubies were regarded as objects of superstition, because being red they are the color of blood. For antique jewelers emeralds because of their green color have been treated wearily, and blue Sapphire, in antique jewelry they believed could either bring bad or good luck, but the wearer would not know which until they had been worn.
But let us start by looking what through history has been the most valuable gemstone used in both antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry; the diamond.
Diamonds are pure carbon crystals, it is the hardest substance known to man, its main color is white, although it does occur very rarely in other colors, and these properties enabled the makers of antique jewelry to produce fascinating and exciting designs.
Diamonds though the most expensive, are also the most common of the precious gemstones used in antique jewelry, as in many cultures the diamond was the emblem of love and fearlessness. This is why traditionally throughout the ages, diamonds have been used in antique engagement rings, because along with their natural brilliance and adamantine luster, they stand out, and go with any outfit or any other pieces of jewelry the wearer might have. At Beverley R Antique Jewelry, we have the largest collection of original Victorian, Edwardian & Art Deco antique engagement rings in Chicago from the time period, as opposed to those who carry just the style reproductions or inspired copies of the antique rings. A small selection of these antique engagement rings, and other pieces of antique jewelry can be seen on our website, www.beverleyr.com with many more to be found in the store.
Next the Ruby, which is probably the rarest of the four main precious gemstones, and is red in color. In antique jewelry from many cultures rubies have always had superstition attached to them, because they are the color of blood. In the antique jewelry from the Far East, where they were mainly found were considered to protect the wearer from evil forces and illness.
The finest rubies are considered to come from the mines in the Mogok area of Burma. The stones from this area used in antique jewelry are of a beautiful bright red color, which is often referred to as 'pigeon's blood' red. Pictured below are some of the pieces of antique ruby jewelry that can be found at Beverley R.
Emeralds are green in color, and they belong to the gem species called Beryl, which also includes the gemstone aquamarine. In antique jewelry there was a certain superstition attached among some, because of their green color, and even now in contemporary jewelry some still consider them as unlucky. Although emeralds are a hard stone, they are brittle, because their atomic structure has a fracture property, and are notorious in that they always show inclusion. For those of you wanting to purchase a piece of emerald antique jewelry, be very suspicious of a completely inclusion free stone, as this is extremely rare in natural gemstones, but much more common in synthetic emerald that have been used in reproduction of antique jewelry. For myself when purchasing antique emerald jewelry, always want it to be as 'clean' or inclusion free as possible, but I always like to see something, as it tells be it is a natural stone.
The finest Emeralds are considered to come from the Muzo mines in Colombia, and are a lush blue/green color. Again pictured below are some Emerald pieces of Antique jewelry to be found at Beverley R.
Lastly Sapphires, which belong to the Corundum family, as do rubies. Sapphires are best known for their blue color, but in fact occur in almost every color possible, more than any other gemstone, if memory serve me correctly it is either 61 or 63 different colors.
Blue Sapphires, however were particularly popular in western antique jewelry. Of all the precious gems, even the finest color of Sapphires can be found in larger sizes, with stones in excess of 60 carats, appearing in different pieces of antique jewelry. Sapphires can also be found in many parts of the world, but the finest are considered to come from Kashmir, and then Burma. It is interesting to note that in antique engagement rings, after diamond, sapphire was the most popular gemstone used, as the blue color along with being vary pretty, also goes with a lot of other colors.
Pictured below is a selection of Sapphire antique, vintage and Art Deco pieces that can be found at Beverley R Antique Jewelry in Chicago.

2/ Victorian 5 Stone Ruby 'Half Hoop' ring in 18kt. gold, circa. 1890

A degree in Marketing you'd think I'd love writing about Stoney Mountain Farm, our journey and our products. The issue is not whether I like it or not, it's that it has become such an integral part of my day to day...it demands my action and my creative juices. Maybe my zodiac sign would give some indication why I respond with rebellion? I am sure my loved ones would have an opinion but I'm not asking! I am a very creative, very unorganized personality. Try to put me on a schedule, it works for a few days. Actually, a little structure feels good for a few days, but only a few. I Blog, I do Facebook for the farm, Facebook for the Dryer Balls, I do Farmers Market news letter, I do Constant Contact...all require writing. If you don't post, you don't stay in touch!

7-YEAR-OLD SPEAKS OUT IN HONOR OF KING
By ERIC RICH; Courant Staff Writer
MIDDLETOWN -- — Young Trey James climbed atop a folding chair to reach the microphone. He took a single, deep breath and told a packed church that his older brother, like the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., had died at peace.
For 7-year-old Trey, Monday was more than just a day to remember the civil rights leader. It was the second anniversary of his brother's death.
Trey had written a speech. He had practiced it all week.
He read it well.
After a rain-drenched march down Main Street, several hundred people packed South Congregational Church to remember King and celebrate his legacy. They heard from some of the city's pastors, and they heard from Trey.
Trey said King was so smart that he skipped a grade and then started college when he was just 15. Trey said the civil rights leader was married to Coretta Scott King, and they had four children together.
He said his mother went to Atlanta in April, where she met Martin Luther King III and told him about her other son's death from brain cancer. Trey's mother returned from that trip with a framed and signed black-and-white picture of the King family.
Signed by Martin Luther King III, it bears the inscription, "This is a picture of my grandparents, aunt, uncle and parents. Continue to study hard and stay close to God."
Trey said he will always treasure the picture, and then said he had promised his mother and father that he will be the first in his family to graduate from college.
Trey said King led marches and changed laws. He said King did not give up, even though he was put in jail after some of those marches.
"His dream has come true because I can go to any school I want; my family and me can live where we want and vacation where we want," Trey said.
King ended his final sermon, on April 3, 1968, by saying he was not afraid or worried. He said he was happy. "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord," King said.
The next day, at the age of 39, King was gunned down in Memphis, Tenn.
Trey's brother, Andre, died at age 9.
For a young boy, Andre had lived quite a life. In 1995, he saved his baby sister from choking by using techniques he had learned watching the television show "Rescue 911."
Andre was diagnosed with brain cancer the next year and survived surgery -- despite dire predictions by doctors. After the diagnosis, Andre was befriended by National Basketball Association star Ray Allen.
"My brother, Andre, thought just like Dr. King. He didn't fear dying. He was at peace when he died," Trey said.
"I really believe Dr. King was at Andre's first birthday party in heaven," he said.
When Trey's mother visited Atlanta, Martin Luther King III repeated the words of his father, "A man is not judged by how long he lives, but by how well he lives."
Trey knows this is true. "Dr. King did great things and so did my brother," he said.

Many NFL players like to keep their private lives private, and we cannot blame them. Over the past several years, we have helped hundreds of football players, but I thought with COVID happening right now, and having a ton of free time, I thought it would be fun to ask NFL players what they look for in women. I wanted to ask an array of NFL players and I told them I would keep their names anonymous because I do not want people hitting them up.
I think they are real in their answers. They are all different, but there are some pretty cool answers.
FAU head coach Lane Kiffin recently made the assertion that assistant college football coaches are only as good at their jobs as their wives are.
Attention, fans of online dating. There is a new app out there for athletes and sports-lovers alike: SportsBuddy. How does it work? Well, the video above provides a glossy-looking demonstration, but essentially, you create a profile on the app, pick the sport that you want to play, and the app suggests potential nearby people for you to play with who are at your skill level. So it was only a matter of time. Thanks to Entrepreneur for sharing.
On online dating sites like OkCupid or eHarmony, users can sort potential matches based on lots of criteria. Location, interests and religion are just a few of the many matching tools used by the websites. But until now, there was no website or app designed specifically to connect fans of the same team.
And seeing as mutual fandom is one of the strongest bonds around, it would make sense for someone to create an app centered around sports. Eisen has helped create a new dating app, called Free Agent , which allows fans of the same team in the same general area to connect with each other. Through the app, which has already launched in Los Angeles and will soon be available in New York, users can browse fans within 50 miles for no charge.

Professional baseball players, objectively speaking, are the cream of the crop of major league athletes. They are the highest paid of any American sport, they play a sport without much risk of long-term physical injury or brain damage, and most of them are tall and athletically built. You can bet this means there is a lot of competition for the active MLB players.
This article is a guide for meeting single baseball players and how to get a baseball player to like you. Here are seven insights to help you in your quest to meet MLB singles. The biggest keys are using online dating sites effectively, and taking advantage of times when single baseball players are most available to the public. Whether your goal is to date long term, or a shorter relationship, this will help you find single baseball players. Baseball players travel a lot. The regular season spans games from March all the way to October, and half of those games are away.
Having an online presence helps single baseball players find girls who they know match their interests. Make sure you have enough pictures of yourself on whatever public profile you use, and that you list your interests. Another version of this is finding minor league baseball players. These are usually single baseball players just waiting for their chance at the big leagues. They generally play in mostly empty stadiums with less fanfare, so there is much less competition at this stage to snag hot single baseball players who are future superstars.
Some guys just have all the luck. They are super rich, super athletic, and because of that, get the best-looking women. This article is devoted to those couples. Here we take a look at NFL stars who have beautiful and famous wives and girlfriends. Some of these women are famous for their chosen line of work.
