When I ordered my Ganesha statue, I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly but BOOM, there he was on my porch in less than a week! It was packed meticulously and with the love that it deserved. He is sitting proudly in my living room now and I couldn't be happier. Thank you!Reviewer:Monica (Kalamazoo, Michigan, US)
Buddha as presented. Packed well. Shipped quickly. How could I not be pleased? We are most happy with this purchase!Reviewer:L. Mattas (Hidden Valley Lake, California, US)
thanks for all. I apreciate your fast serviceReviewer:yolanda (aventura, florida, US)
I cannot say enough positive about my experience in working with Kyle at Lotus Sculpture. I made a purchase of a beautiful Buddha, and it was damaged during shipping. Kyle was so positive and supportive, professional and personable: as unhappy as I am over loosing the beautiful Buddha I had chosen, Kyle worked with me to find another. I am very delighted with my Buddha; the new one has arrived safetly and is even more amazing than Kyle could describe. Every time I have ever contacted Kyle with any question, he has been very quick to respond, and given me good information. My overall experience with Kyle and Lotus Sculpture has been very positive, and I am looking forward to future satisfying events. Thank you, Des.Reviewer:Ava Desiree Hutsell (Warwick, RI, US)
Buying these Ganeshas were a dream of mine for so long and I'm glad I did. Kyle was absolutely wonderful to deal and my Ganeshas came rather quickly and beautifully packaged. They are treasures on my altar and already I'm thinking of my next purchase. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for your wonderful service.Reviewer:Aman Pillay (Auckland, Auckland, NZ)
I have been looking at this statue for years, and knew deep down that I wanted to add it to my collection of other Lotus Sculpture statues. This antique statue is unique (estimated to be between 50 and 200 years old) and was offered to me at such a special discount that I felt overwhelmed when I opened the box, carefully packaged by Kyle and his team. When I looked at Goddess Meenakshi I smiled, because her nose is slightly crooked just like mine! I knew immediately that I am part of her and she is part of me. She is now sitting proudly on a dresser beside another antique statue of Shiva. Their respective heights are perfect. The love couple is complete! Thanks to Lotus Sculpture and Kyle Tortora for his generosity and for giving me this one chance opportunity to be connected to what is close to my heart. May Lotus Sculpture be prosperous!Reviewer:Jenny Wolkowicki (Roselle Park, NJ, US)
In all of my interactions with the owner of Lotus Sculpture, I experienced respectful communication, clear organization and overall excellent customer service. Thank you. I love the piece I bought from you.Reviewer:Amy Nosek (Bowen Island, British Columbia, CA)
Kyle with Lotus Sculpture, worked with us to find the best situation for our new swimming pool. We purchased two beautiful Buddha Heads that now stand on our pool columns overlooking the pool. Beautiful!!! We'll continue to shop here for more special Buddha's.Reviewer:David A. Kress (Chandler, AZ, US)
LOVE IT. I can feel the energy of it. VERY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you! Namaste, FabienneReviewer:Fabienne Diaz (Chapel Hill, North Carolina, US)

- Total Height Including Base: 14 inches

This sculpture of Ardhanari was one of two special bronzes made by our marble artist, Balan. Balan is known for always introducing new styles and ideas into his marble sculpture. Here he does that same in bronze. He calls his style "masala" which typically refers to cooking where you add every different type of spice imaginable to a particular dish. Masala in sculpture is achieved by taking many different styles and combining them into a new creation. You never get the typical Chola, South Indian style in any of his work.
In this piece Ardhanari is reclining. Reclining is not a typical posture for Ardanhari to be in. Usually he/she is standing. The face is beautiful! It captures the androgynous look that you should see in a person who is both half man and half woman. The facial features are broad and almost gandhara, greco-roman rather than typical Chola features. The hips of hips of Ardharanri are also different sizes with the Parvati side having a fuller, childbearing hip while the Shiva side is more slender like a man's hip. Typically both hips are very full and feminine. The lotus, trident, cobra and crescent moon are all very large and prevalent in the sculpture. Typically all these accessories are smaller. The head dress also has a bun of hair propped up to the side. This is typical of many Lord Krishna sculptures rather than Shiva. This is truly a unique and remarkable sculpture!
Lost Wax Method: This sculpture is a one of a kind, lost wax method bronze statue hand made by the artists of South India. The sculpture pictured is the only sculpture Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this piece you will receive this exact sculpture. It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this! Each bronze is hand made by a group of bronze artists whose families have been crafting bronze sculptures for centuries with the art being passed on by each generation. The hand crafted bronzes statues have an incredible amount of detail which many other mass produced, brass Hindu statues lack. Lost Wax South Indian bronze statues are the only sculptures used by Hindu temples throughout India and the world. Click here to learn more about the Lost Wax Method.
About Shiva
Shiva was originally known as Rudra, a minor deity addressed only three times in the Rig Veda. He gained importance after absorbing some of the characteristics of an earlier fertility god and became Shiva, part of the trinity, or trimurti, with Vishnu and Brahma.
Shiva wears a snake coiled around his upper arms and neck symbolizing the power he has over the most deadly of creatures. Snakes are also used to symbolize the Hindu dogma of reincarnation. Their natural process of molting or shedding their skin is symbolic of the human soul's transmigration of bodies from one life to another.
Shiva's female consort and wife is Parvati; because of his generosity and reverence towards Parvati, Shiva is considered an ideal role model for a husband. The divine couple together with their sons - the six-headed Skanda and the elephant headed Ganesh - reside on Mount Kailasa in the Himalayas.
His guardian is Nandi (the white bull), whose statue can often be seen watching over the main shrine. The bull is said to embody sexual energy, fertility. Riding on its back, Shiva is in control of these impulses.
He often holds a trident, which represents the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. It is also said to represent the threefold qualities of nature: creation, preservation and destruction, although preservation is usually attributed to Vishnu.
As the destroyer, Shiva is dark and terrible, encircled with serpents and a crown of skulls.
Shiva often wears sacred Rudaksha beads, perhaps a reference to his earlier name Rudra.
The crescent moon Shiva wears on his crown, besides being a symbol of Kama the goddess of nightly love, also represents the bull, Nandi, a fertility symbol.
Shiva holds a skull that represents samsara, the cycle of life, death and rebirth. Samsara is a central belief in Hinduism. Shiva himself also represents this complete cycle because he is Mahakala, the Lord of Time, destroying and creating all things.
Shiva is represented in a variety of forms. One such form is as a lingam. The ovoid shape is a representation of the absolute perfection of Lord Shiva - if that which is beyond form had to be given form, the lingam would be the closest form to the mystical experience of the absolute perfection of Shiva. Shiva is often pictured in a pacific mood with his consort Parvati, as the cosmic dancer Nataraja, as a naked ascetic, as a mendicant beggar, as a yogi, and as the androgynous union of Shiva and Parvati in one body (Ardhanarisvara).
Another example of Shiva's apparent synthesis of male and female attributes is seen in his earrings. He wears one earring in the style of a man and the other as a female.
Shiva's third eye is a symbol of higher consciousness. It is also a weapon he uses to destroy his enemies by emitting a fire missile which has the power to incinerate the three worlds. He can also kill all the gods and other creatures during the periodic destruction of the universe. Shiva's third eye first appeared when Parvati, his wife, playfully covered his other two eyes, so Shiva opened his third eye emitting his destructive missile endangering the three worlds.
Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece. All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
If you have any questions concerning your bronze statue please email us at email@example.com or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

The MTA says it's launching the first urban trial of pest-control bait that induces permanent infertility in rats.
The product has been successful in rural areas, lowering rodent populations without harming other animals, crops or humans.
However, the bait used must taste better than the pizza crusts, Chinese takeout, cold French fries and other foods lying all over the subway – otherwise the rodents won't eat it.
Arizona-based SenesTech Inc, who makes the bait, will attempt to try different flavors. The co-founder SenesTech said they will launch a rodent taste test in different subway trash rooms. The scientists will spread birth-control bait of different flavors and scents.
A company scientist says female rats start breeding at four months old and give birth to litters of a half-dozen offspring about four times per year. That means any poison has to outpace reproduction.
An NYC Transit official said dead rats don't necessarily mean fewer rats and by lowering the competition for food, good poisons can make the survivors more healthy and fertile, which can lead to a rebound in the rat population.
The official said rats eventually outsmart even the best poisons.

text: Students at a suburban Detroit elementary school welcomed back their principal from Boston Wednesday, just days after the horrific attack near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.Dr. Pam Mathers was just a half mile away from the finish line when two devices exploded only seconds apart, killing three and injuring 176. "I just feel so horrible for the tragedies in people's lives who were there," said Mathers, who trained all winter for her first Boston Marathon. "It was a beautiful day; a beautiful celebration that turned into such tragedy."Although a cowardly act prevented Mathers from crossing the finish line, the students and staff at Hamilton Elementary School more than made up for it. They lined the halls and created their "finish line" in the school's media center for Mathers to cross."I was just so happy for her that she was able to do this," said fourth grader Ryan Smalley."They really just warm your heart," said Mathers.

GENERIC NAME: ibuprofen
BRAND NAME: Advil, Children's Advil/Motrin, Medipren, Motrin, Nuprin, PediaCare Fever etc.
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ibuprofen belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other members of this class include aspirin, naproxen (Aleve), indomethacin (Indocin), nabumetone (Relafen) and several others. These drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. Pain, fever, and inflammation are promoted by the release in the body of chemicals called prostaglandins. Ibuprofen blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower levels of prostaglandins. As a consequence, inflammation, pain and fever are reduced. The FDA approved ibuprofen in 1974.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 100, 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg; Chewable tablets: 50 and 100 mg; Suspension: 100 mg/5 ml and 40 mg/ml
STORAGE: Ibuprofen should be stored at room temperature, between 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Ibuprofen is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, inflammation and fever caused by many and diverse diseases. It is used for treating menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
DOSING: For minor aches, mild to moderate pain, menstrual cramps, and fever, the usual adult dose is 200 or 400 mg every 4 to 6 hours.
Arthritis is treated with 300 to 800 mg 3 or 4 times daily.
When under the care of a physician, the maximum dose of ibuprofen is 3.2 g daily. Otherwise, the maximum dose is 1.2 g daily.
Individuals should not use ibuprofen for more than 10 days for the treatment of pain or more than 3 days for the treatment of a fever unless directed by a physician.
Children 6 months to 12 years of age usually are given 5-10 mg/kg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours for the treatment of fever and pain. The maximum dose is 40 mg/kg daily.
Juvenile arthritis is treated with 20 to 40 mg/kg/day in 3-4 divided doses.
Ibuprofen should be taken with meals to prevent stomach upset.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Ibuprofen is associated with several suspected or probable interactions that can affect the action of other drugs. Ibuprofen may increase the blood levels of lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) by reducing the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. Increased levels of lithium may lead to lithium toxicity.
Ibuprofen may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effects of drugs that are given to reduce blood pressure. This may occur because prostaglandins play a role in the regulation of blood pressure.
When ibuprofen is used in combination with methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) or aminoglycosides (for example, gentamicin) the blood levels of the methotrexate or aminoglycoside may increase, presumably because their elimination from the body is reduced. This may lead to more methotrexate or aminoglycoside-related side effects.
Ibuprofen increases the negative effect of cyclosporine on kidney function.
Individuals taking oral blood thinners or anticoagulants, for example, warfarin (Coumadin), should avoid ibuprofen because ibuprofen also thins the blood, and excessive blood thinning may lead to bleeding.
If aspirin is taken with ibuprofen there may be an increased risk for developing an ulcer.
Persons who have more than three alcoholic beverages per day may be at increased risk of developing stomach ulcers when taking ibuprofen or other NSAIDs.

Rock Band Gets 'Don't Stop Believin' as DLCJourney's jukebox classic and dive bar anthem "Don't Stop Believin'" is joining the catalog of downloadable Rock Band tunes, developer Harmonix revealed tonight.
The oft-requested song is coming soon, possibly in next week's batch of DLC, which hits Xbox 360 on Tuesday, March 31 and PS3 the following Thursday, April 2. The track will presumably carry the traditional Rock Band DLC pricing of 160 Microsoft Points ($2).
For those unfamiliar, the ballad is an inspirational tale of a small town girl living in a lonely world, a city boy born and raised in South Detroit, a singer in a smokey room, smells of wine and cheap perfume, gambling addiction, and the power of belief.

Stove-top Pot Roast with Mushrooms and Sage
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
3 lb. beef chuck roast, fat trimmed
steak rub, for seasoning meat before browning (I used Pride of Szeged Steak Rub, but I think others would work)
1-2 tsp. olive oil, for browning roast
1/2 - 3/4 cup water (depending on the size of your roast and pan, see note below)
1 T Better Than Bouillon Mushroom Base
(can substitute canned mushroom soup and use less water)
2 onions, peeled and cut in fourths
1 T finely chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp. dried rubbed sage, I think thyme would also be good if you don't have sage)
1 lb. crimini or white mushrooms, washed and cut in half
1 T flour mixed into 2 T water to thicken gravy (I used white whole wheat flour to keep it South Beach friendly)
Remove roast, mushrooms and onions from pot. Discard onions and set aside mushrooms and meat. Strain liquid if desired to remove bits of sage. (You could also use an immersion blender to mix in the sage, which is what I'd do next time.) Remove fat using a fat separator or by skimming it off with a fine-mesh stock skimmer. Taste the liquid for flavor, and if it tastes weak to you, simmer at high heat for a few minutes to reduce.
Mix 1 T flour into 2 T water with a whisk, then whisk that mixture into simmering stock and cook 5-10 minutes until gravy thickens. (Use white whole wheat flour for South Beach Diet.) For my pot roast, this was enough flour to make about 1 1/4 cups of slightly thickened gravy. If you have a lot more liquid than that or you prefer thick gravy you may need a bit more flour. You could also add some beef stock to the liquid if you wanted more gravy and increase the thickening accordingly.
Cut pot roast into thick slices, and serve hot with mushrooms (and other vegetables if desired) on the side, with gravy spooned over meat and mushrooms.
South Beach Suggestions:
If you take care to trim fat from the meat, and then skim off fat from the liquid, this would be a great meal for the South Beach Diet. For phase one, I would probably leave out the flour and serve the liquid as au jus, although this is a tiny amount of flour. For phase two or three, you could add carrots or turnips along with the mushrooms. South Beach does not recommend potatoes for any phase of the diet, but if you're cooking for a family, this would be simple enough to make with potatoes for the non-dieters, and then skip the potatoes yourself if you are following the diet.

However, for outdoor attractions, peak seasons are during the long dry season from June through to August and the short dry season from December through to January.

The Richfield Police Department has identified three officers who have been placed on paid administrative leave following Friday's fatal, officer-involved shooting.
Officials say the officers involved were:
Police say the officers were responding to a domestic disturbance involving a man with a knife at a home in the 6600 block of Park Avenue South shortly before 9 a.m. on Friday. Upon arrival, the officers met 25-year-old Jeffrey Michael O'Connor, who was fatally shot during the encounter.
No one else was injured, police say.
Police have not released any other details about the incident, and the department said no further information is available because the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office is still actively investigating the shooting.
Lt. Mike Flaherty, of the Richfield Police Department, said he is confident the investigation will show the officers followed department policy and procedure.
"It will be determined that this was a justified use of force," he wrote in a release. "All of these officers are professional, well-trained veterans of this department."
O'Connor had no criminal history. His obituary states he worked for Cargil through a temp agency. FOX 9 News stopped by his family's home, but they declined to comment.

Forest Mushroom Mittens
All of my favorite knitting books follow the people's history of the craft. Michael Pearson's Traditional Knitting is, as far as I'm concerned, the best social history of knitting ever written. Nearly all the others on my list of top knitting books are primarily concerned with mittens: Latvian Mittens by Lizbeth Upitis, Folk Knitting in Estonia by Nancy Bush, Selbuvotter by Terri Shea, Mostly Mittens by Charlene Schurch, Folk Mittens by Marcia Lewandowski, Magnificent Mittens & Socks by Anna Zilboorg, Favorite Mittens by Robin Hansen. And what about the Ukrainian folk story, The Mitten?
I love mittens with a story, don't you? Mittens are the most fascinating article of knitted apparel because no matter where they come from, they always seem to reflect the cultural and religious values of those who wore them. As contemporary knitters, we have lost track of the tradition of our craft. We knit for enjoyment, for fashion, to make gifts for friends and family; we drift from stockinette to cables to fair isle and back again, dabbling in all sorts of styles and techniques along the way with little regard to those who came before us. People like Lizbeth Upitis and Nancy Bush bring us back to the roots of our craft with their research in the folk art of the humble mitten.
Last winter, while rereading Lizbeth Upitis' book, I followed a footnote to the text Latviesu cimdu raksti. Ornaments in Latvian gloves and mittens, by Irma Lesina, a text Upitis noted had many wonderful plates of mitten designs. Published by a small Nebraskan press in 1969, the book was long out-of-print. In fact, there were so few copies left in circulation that it took my university's inter-library loan service a month to track down a Canadian copy for me; needless to say, it was most certainly worth the wait!
I pored over hundreds of traditional designs from Kurzeme, Latgale, Vidzeme, and Zemgale, recharting many stitch patterns that interested me. I created a large Excel file of stitch patterns, mixing and matching different ones as I went along. I remained faithful to regional distinctions, trying only to pair up patterns originating in the same region.
Copyright Jane Heller
My Forest Mushroom design in Twist Collective Winter 2010 (Ravelry link) is one of the fruits of this lovely labor, combining several different motifs from the Kurzeme region of Latvia to be knitted with more contemporary colors at modern gauges.
Copyright Jane Heller
The cuff is elaborately detailed and includes three distinctive brown and white braids before breaking into the mushroom-like pattern of the upper mitten. Unlike a traditional Latvian mitten, the top rounds off instead of coming to a hard point.
The peasant thumb is placed with waste yarn and knitted in the mushroom pattern to blend in with the mitten body.
Some designs you love more than others and these are one of my favorites; they combine everything I love about knitting: gorgeous colors, Latvian braids, long mitten cuffs, and old, complex, crafting traditions. Every knitter needs to make a pair of Latvian mittens in his or her knitting life, perhaps these will be yours!
The pattern is available at Twist Collective for $6.00.

As much as I love these (and have since I first saw them), I love them even more now that I know their back story.
Lovely Mittens! Your bookshelf is missing Estonian Mittens Around the World. It's in both Estonian and English, and rather lovely!
I love the braids in these mittens. It makes it so pretty.
I love these mittens! Once I get more comfortable with colourwork I'll definitely be tackling the pattern!
Congratulations to a stunning design! I appreciate how much research and thought you put into the mittens.
I'm grateful to you for going into so much detail about your design process. I learn a lot from you, and am inspired! Congratulations on your fantastic mittens.
Such a lovely combination of patterns and braids.
These are wonderful and the story makes them even better! Great job on the design, I love the finished mittens!
Oh man. These are gorgeous!
Love the combination of patterns in the colorwork now if I can only start that hat I have been thinking about all winter … :}
I really like the mittens shot on the bench shot. My mother has a bench…I might have to try a similar shot soon. Probably not with mittens though.
Very beautiful mittens! I was born in Estonia, a neighbourland of Latvia. Both are very well-known for the rich history of handicraft.
These are beautiful! Thank you for the list of mitten books!
I do love all your knitting and sewing projects.But, I do miss seeing pictures of your children. they grow so fast. Hope medical school is going well for you. You are such a smart, talented women.
Fair Isle are always cool and never fails to attract me. Great work there :) Love 'em!
I believe the sweater in the above website it your. I would love to have the pattern as I am expecting my first grand child
Wow those mittens are lovely. My mom is an expert in knitting but I am her exact opposite. :( I wanna learn how to do it but she said she's too old to be my teacher! LOL
These are just gorgeous, and I love the whole background story….
Some designs you love more than others and these are one of my favorites; they combine everything I love about knitting: gorgeous colors, Latvian braids, long mitten cuffs, and old, complex, crafting traditions.

A mother of seven was hit by a car and left to die in the street. Now, her grief stricken family is left wondering when they'll get and update from police.Watch Taryn Asher's full video report above. "I just knew it was her. I just knew it was her. I'm like that's my mommy," said Johanathon Knuckles.He knew something wasn't right Wednesday night when his mom, 48 year old Venida Elledge, took too long to return from the corner store. He started re-tracing her steps, back to the corner of 7 Mile and St. Marys on Detroit's west side. That's when he saw the police lights, and his mother's body laying in the middle of the street. A victim of a hit and run. "It's a very bad situation, and I'm hurt. My family's hurt," Knuckles said. We're told the woman was trying to cross 7 Mile and make it to the sidewalk when a car came out of nowhere, hit her, and continued north on St. Marys. Police say the suspect's car is missing parts of it's front bumper. Venida's family hopes someone recognizes the vehicle and contacts police. A nearby business believes the deadly incident may have been captured by their surviellance cameras. We are working to get that video in hopes that it will help catch the driver who did this.

A rising dollar, weak Chevron earnings and stress on Apple shares slam stocks. The national unemployment rate ticks up to 7.9% as more people look for work. Oil and gold sag. Starbucks jumps nearly 10%. Restoration Hardware soars after its IPO.
Employers added 171,000 jobs in October, but the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 7.9%, the Labor Department announced today.
While the jobs report was basically good, stocks slumped this afternoon on weakness in Chevron (CVX), Apple (AAPL) and IBM (IBM) and a host of property-casualty companies that face big claims from Superstorm Sandy.
In addition, the dollar moved higher on the jobs report, as traders worried that the Federal Reserve might pull back on its low-interest rate policy. Energy and materials stocks were lower. Gold (-GC) fell below $1,700 for the first time since early September.
The losses wiped out weekly gains for the Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX).
Stocks surge on improved private-sector employment; jobless claims slip. Starbucks, AIG and Priceline earnings impress. Crude is up in New York but down in London.
Stocks started November with their best performance in seven weeks, thanks to two decent jobs reports and an improved outlook on manufacturing.
If there was a downside to the rally, it was that the major averages pulled back from their early highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) jumped as many as 177 points, fueled by gains for IBM (IBM) and Caterpillar (CAT), but then profit-taking set in.
Private-sector employers added 158,000 jobs in October, the ADP National Employment Report estimated, better than expected, and the Labor Department said initial jobless claims fell to 363,000 last week, down from 372,000 the prior week and smaller than the consensus estimate of 369,000. The Labor Department will release its October jobs report at 8:30 a.m. ET Friday. The unemployment rate is expected to rise slightly from 7.8% to 7.9%, with payroll employment rising by about 125,000 jobs.
After the close, shares of Starbucks (SBUX) jumped $3.35 to $49.97 from a regular close of $46.62. The coffee-shop giant's fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings of 46 cents a share beat the Street estimate of 45 cents. Revenue was up 11% to $3.36 billion and in line with estimates. Also moving higher because of strong earnings: Priceline.com (PCLN) and American International Group (AIG).
The Dow loses all of an 82-point gain as Wall Street ramps up after Hurricane Sandy. Recovery prospects boost Home Depot and Lowe's. Apple sags on management turmoil. Cirrus Logic's Apple business boosts profits. Oil and gold move up.
Updated: 6:34 p.m. ET
After Hurricane Sandy forced a historic two-day closure, the U.S. stock market reopened today and ended the day modestly lower. As a result, stocks ended October with their first monthly losses since May.
Apple (AAPL) fell below $600 for the first time since July as its big management shakeup -- forcing out the heads of its iPhone operating system group and retail businesses -- weighed on tech stocks. Walt Disney's (DIS) $4 billion buyout of Lucasfilm, director George Lucas' production company, weighed on the Dow Jones industrials ($INDU).
But Netflix (NFLX) shares jumped $9.66 to $79.24 after corporate raider Carl Icahn disclosed his Icahn Capital and related entities owned 9.99% of Netflix's shares. The company is undervalued, especially given its international potential, Icahn said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. But he hasn't proposed any major actions.
Meanwhile, the stocks you'd expect to be winners after all the destruction from Sandy were higher. These include Home Depot (HD), Lowe's (LOW), Masco (MAS) and Whirlpool (WHR). Property and casualty insurers, such as Allstate (ALL) and Chubb (CHB), were lower, as adjusters start the process of claims management in the aftermath of a storm that may have caused damages of $20 billion or more.
Disney will buy Lucasfilm for $4.1 billion. The major exchanges say they can resume normal stock trading on Wednesday. Ford has decent results; GM's earnings are on tap. Apple has a big management shuffle. October may be a loser for investors.
Trading in U.S. stocks will resume Wednesday with the major exchanges planning regular trading hours.
The open will feature market reaction to a blockbuster media deal. Walt Disney (DIS) said late today it will buy Lucasfilm in a $4.05 billion deal. The company will pay half of the purchase price in cash and issue close to 40 million shares at the closing for the balance. Lucasfilm is the production company of Star Wars director George Lucas.
The New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq system were closed Monday and again today as Hurricane Sandy slammed into New York and New Jersey, causing power outages, flooding and even fires. Some 38 deaths are attributed to the storm. The New York subway system experience widespread flooding in its tunnels.
Gold (-GC) and crude oil (-CL) traded in U.S. markets moved modestly higher. The national average retail price of gasoline fell to $3.534 today, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report from $3.543 a gallon on Monday. The price has fallen 6.7% this month.
Exchanges won't reopen until Hurricane Sandy makes landfall. Look for a Wednesday reopen. Insurance companies could see $5 billion to $10 billion in losses. Important economic and earnings reports are due, including Friday's jobs report.
U.S. stock and bond markets will be closed again Tuesday because of the worry of the havoc Hurricane Sandy will cause around the New York metro area.
The move was expected because markets were closed today before Sandy even made landfall over New Jersey. Markets probably will reopen Wednesday as the storm moves inland. The eye of the storm is supposed to move into central Pennsylvania and then through New York state and New England and then into Ontario and Quebec.
Wednesday will not only be Halloween but the end of the month. Moreover, this week is one of the heaviest for earnings, and it ends with the October unemployment report, which could have a big impact on the election.
As of Friday, the Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) were down 2.5% for the month, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) down 2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) down 4.1%.
But Apple retakes $600 after earnings and guidance disappoint investors. Amazon shares jump despite a quarterly loss. GDP rises at a 2% annual rate, but consumer optimism slips even as Americans spend more. Gasoline prices continue to drop.
Stocks ended the day little changed, but the major averages finished lower for the second week in the last three.
The market gained strength from technology stocks, which rebounded from early-afternoon lows. Apple (AAPL) was the poster child for the rebound, falling below $600 for the first time since July 30 and climbing from a $591 low to a close of $604, a loss of $5.54. The company's fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings missed Street estimates and its guidance was also lower than expected.
Investors also bid shares of Amazon.com (AMZN) up $15.32 to $238.24 despite the company's loss for its third quarter. Investors are buying into the company's assurances that huge investments now will pay off later.
Financial stocks slipped as investors worried about economic conditions in Europe --Spain's unemployment rate hit 25% -- and the fiscal-cliff impact in the United States. There was some decent news: a better-than-expected third-quarter gain in gross domestic product, the key indicator of economic growth. GDP growth was an annualized 2%, the Commerce Department said, fueled by gains in consumer spending and housing investment.
Apple shares are briefly halted. Earnings are lower than expected; iPad sales disappoint. Amazon sales also disappoint. Stocks rebound after Fitch Ratings denies it plans a U.S. debt downgrade. Pending home sales slip.
Apple (AAPL) shares briefly fell below $600 after hours as the company's earnings of $8.67 a share missed Wall Street estimates of $8.75. The issue seems to be a shortfall of iPad production. Revenue was up 27% to $35.97 billion, slightly ahead of estimates.
The shares had fallen $7.29 to $609.54 in regular trading and fell to as low as $597 after hours -- trading was briefly halted -- before rebounding to $607.75, down $1.79, at 6:07 p.m. ET. Apple hasn't closed below $600 since July 30. Apple shipped 26.9 million iPhones in its fiscal fourth quarter, a bit more than expected, but iPad shipments were 14 million, lower than expected.
Amazon.com (AMZN) shares were down as much as $20 after hours before buying brought the stock back to $220, down from a regular close of $222.92. The company reported a revenue miss and a larger-than-expected earnings loss.
The results came after stocks moved modestly higher today, breaking a two-day losing streak as earnings from energy and health care companies gave the market a boost. But the Apple and Amazon results seem certain to weigh on stocks on Friday.
The Dow falls 25 after the central bank says the economy still needs help. Investors cheer Facebook's mobile ad efforts. Boeing and Panera Bread offer bullish outlooks. But Netflix shares are crushed. New-home sales are the strongest in 2 years.
Stocks fell modestly today even after the Federal Reserve said it still expects to maintain low interest rates at least into 2015. The central bank also said it will continue to buy in billions of dollars of securities each month to boost the economy.
Wall Street expected the move. The stock market's decline was due to continuing concerns about global and domestic growth and earnings worries. The effect of today's move will be to keep U.S. interest rates low for the foreseeable future. Perhaps chief among the rates for now: mortgage rates. Bankrate.com said the rate on a 30-year mortgage averaged 3.46% today.
After the close, shares of game-maker Zynga (ZNGA) jumped sharply. The company reported break-even earnings but also announced a $200 million stock buyback. Software company Symantec (SYMC) also rallied strongly as earnings beat estimates.
The market's late-day decline came after stocks were slammed Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) suffering its worst one-day loss since June. Facebook's (FB) results late Tuesday cheered investors. So did earnings and guidance from Panera Bread (PNRA) and Boeing (BA). But Netflix (NFLX) slumped from weak guidance. Energy stocks struggled as oil and natural gas prices have moved lower.

[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market began the new week on a cautious note. The S&P 500 lost 0.3%, but managed to erase more than half of its opening decline. Thanks to the rebound, the benchmark index reclaimed its 50-day moving average (1976.78) after slipping below that level in the morning.

Two children and one adult were killed Thursday in a massive pileup on I-75 near Springwells in southwest Detroit. Dozens of cars and semi trucks went out of control.
Drivers say the snow was falling so fast they couldn't see anything. Moments later it was deadly chaos.
I-75 was completely reopened by the evening commute. Police say earlier it was blinding snow squalls and the slippery road conditions that caused this unbelievable crash that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"I really couldn't see a whole lot because when the white out hit, it was like driving blind," said semi truck driver Phillip Bost. "All of a sudden you heard all the accidents start happening, and I just stopped as soon as I could."
Bost, who was hauling car parts out of Flat Rock, was caught in the middle of the massive, multi-vehicle crash. He watched as cars lost control and started coming toward his semi truck.
"People injured. People bleeding. Some where in their cars and not able to get out. I saw the firemen using the jaws of life to help other people get out of the cars. It was just a mess," he explained.
Bost got out to help the injured involved in the chain reaction crash involving more than 30 vehicles that led to a 300 car backup.
Semi trucks were jackknifed, some cars bumped and others crushed upon impact.
Michigan State Police say a total of three people were killed in two separate crashes about 200 feet apart, including a man from Allen Park in his fifties. His silver Pontiac Vibe was wedged under a car hauler.
In one car pileup, two children who were sitting in the back of a Mazda lost their lives -- a seven-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl, stepsiblings from Windsor, Ontario. Their parents and a ten-year-old sister are all in critical condition.
Lisa Czarnecki's husband was also hit when the cars collided. He called her moments after.
"I asked if he was okay and he said yes," she explained. "He said there [were] several cars and the situation was not very good, that he knew there were some fatalities surrounding him."
Ambulances from all over metro Detroit responded, rushing to transport the injured to several different hospitals. The Detroit Fire Department and other agencies helped in the rescue efforts.
Michigan State Police handled the investigation. Lieutenant Michael Shaw said the enormous accident was caused by the blinding snow squalls and the slippery roads.
"We got a little spoiled by the weather yesterday being in the sixties and then we come back to the realization of winter and icy roads again today. People sometimes drive too closely and these chain reactions happen," he remarked.
An army of tow trucks, front loaders, maintenance crews and street cleaners cleared the scene. That took about seven hours.
Czarnecki waited for her husband to eventually leave grateful he was one of the lucky ones.
"I'm relieved that my husband's okay, but I'm very sad for others who are injured or beyond," she said.
We're told at least 30 people were injured and a dozen of them were taken to four different hospitals. Two people remain in critical condition.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- A retired Army psychologist whose oversight of military interrogations has been criticized by human rights groups wants to work at the University of Missouri.
Larry James is one of two finalists for a job as division executive director at the university's College of Education. He is currently dean of professional psychology at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.
James led a team of psychologists assigned to interrogators at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay in 2003 and again in 2007-08. He also oversaw interrogations at the Abu Ghraib detention center in Iraq in 2004.
State licensing boards in Ohio and Louisiana have declined to investigate complaints against James, but some University of Missouri professors oppose his hiring.
The Columbia Missourian first reported James' MU candidacy.

Your dad sounds like a hoot, Bridget!
I felt like a brat complaining the way that I did. This was totally a FWP, I know, but I was perturbed by his response. He'd make me a surfboard as a present, and build a piece of furniture for me if I asked him to, so it's not the effort that he's against. He just came down so hard on my idea with this huge scowling wall of negativity. He does that sometimes; I throw something out there and his reaction is not just to just say no, but to be forceful about it, as though the fact I asked him made him angry. Maybe I insulted his abilities, like Ash said. He gets this way if I suggest that he change into a collared shirt or that he use correct grammar (which I now know better than to do anymore). In this case, though, I was just hoping my idea would be fun for him. (And seriously, 90% of his shots are out of focus, even when I set the camera up for him). I have to say his closed-off reaction was a disappointment.
Anyway, after I pouted HARD for an hour, I got into bed with him. he rolled over and said he'd take the class. So I guess he knew his reaction was kind of defensive.
I once got to being home the box of silkworms from class to babysit over the weekend. I fell asleep holding one and never found it again. Oops.

Sharing videos, music, movies across different devices can be a major pain. Equipment for it is usually bulky, having to run HDMI and power cables, and just making clutter.
No more!
Google brings us Chromecast! And at 35 dollars (with 3 free months of Netflix), this has to be the single best (and cheapest) option around. And the best part? No more ugly boxes!

Twenty five years after the Chicago Cubs installed lights at Wrigley Field, the Glenbrook Apaches did the same to their baseball field. And to break in Apache Stadium under the lights, the Apaches invited a number of former players to face the current team in a Apaches/Alumni Game.
"This is something we hope that becomes a tradition," Apache coach Jonathan Hardy said. "It was the first game under the lights for our current team, and it gave some of our former players a chance to do the same. And it was some good competition for our team, they got to play against some of the players they grew up watching."Subscribe to Read!
