Markets on edge for election day and beyond
Markets could be volatile no matter who wins Tuesday's presidential election. Here's what to expect if Obama wins, if Romney wins or -- worst-case scenario -- if we don't know right away.
The polls -- and the analyses of the polls -- give the nod for a very narrow win to President Barack Obama, especially after a relatively decent jobs report on Friday. Mitt Romney's camp says he's going to be the clear winner.
We'll see. There are some hints from history on what may happen.
Obama wins
If Obama wins relatively clearly -- that is, the results aren't disputed and end up in the courts -- the stock market may well tumble on Wednesday. It did after he was elected in 2008: The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) were off 7.1% by the end of the week, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) off 7.4% and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) down 7.5%.
Yes, those are real numbers, but they may have had less to do with the president-elect than with the ongoing financial crash of 2008.
Obama and Wall Street have an edgy relationship, even though one of the great stock market rallies in history began in March 2009 after he took office. Many on Wall Street have spent millions of dollars trying to push Obama out.
There is a chance for a different outcome. If Obama wins, it means Ben Bernanke will probably stay on as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board until his term expires in 2014. And the Fed's accommodative monetary policy -- the promise of low interest rates into 2015 -- will continue.
Moreover, the odds for a solution to the fiscal cliff -- the combination of tax increases and spending cuts -- will increase. To do nothing won't help Republicans. That will be bullish for stocks.
The first scenario is more likely, but the second is worth thinking about.
Romney wins
If Romney wins the election clearly, the stock market may jump. He himself predicted it would when he made his now-famous comment about 47% of the population seeing themselves as victims.
Our conjecture here is based on the market's reaction to George W. Bush's re-election in 2004. The major indexes jumped about 3% that week.
That return was about all the Dow did for that year; the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended the year up more than 8%.
Wall Street will be delighted in a Romney win because, the theory goes, regulation will be rolled back and Obamacare will be repealed. And there is the prospect that Romney's vows to fix the tax code will mean lower taxes for the wealthy.
It is possible -- if unlikely -- that a Romney win won't cheer the Street. One issue is Bernanke, who would be pressured by many in Congress to quit and go back to Princeton. Two issues will go through investors' minds: Who will replace Bernanke and when would a new Fed leadership then start raising interest rates? Rising rates are death to stocks.
There's a third issue. Romney is an experienced and successful business executive. But what is not clear is whether he has the political subtlety to convince a tea party-dominated Republican majority in the House of Representatives (and maybe the Senate as well) to trim government spending carefully without tipping the economy into recession. He insists he can lead, but Congress is not a business. There are lots and lots of agendas and scores to be settled publicly and privately.
The tea party scares Wall Street. Look at the reaction in the debt-extension crisis in the summer and fall of 2011. The Dow fell as much as 6.9% before stabilizing in early October; the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were off about 8%.
There is no winner
This assumes that neither Obama nor Romney can come up with 270 electoral votes needed to win. Or results are delayed by the effects of Superstorm Sandy in the Northeast or Ohio.
No one wants this except political talk-show hosts. Least of all investors. When the 2000 Bush-Gore election ended without a clear winner, the Dow fell 3.2% that week, with the S&P 500 off 4.6% and the Nasdaq off 11.3%.
Admittedly, the dot-com bust had broken the 1990s bull market, and the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks were ahead.
But a soft economy and a weak stock market do not do well in extreme political uncertainty. Between Election Day 2000 and the market bottom in October 2002, the Dow fell 33%.
After the election??? The stock market has been on a roller coaster for the last 3 weeks. Vote Romney and the stock market will take off, vote Obama and the stock market will be a clusterf*ck for the next year. The people who make the stock market swing, don't trust Obama. Small business doesn't trust Obama ... the white middle class and white upper class doesn't trust Obama. So ... a vote for Obama is another nail in the economy's coffin and the stock market will follow where the economy goes.
If Obama is elected .... put your money in your matress and buy a good tent to sleep in!!
Personally, I have done terrific under the Obama presidency as far as my IRA, 401K and stock investments have gone. In fact, I have never done as well as the last four years. That being said, I am also one that believes that when a system has a foundation based on greed or profit, it must be tightly regulated or it will go amok. Libertarians and many republicans will disagree, but then again, de-regulation, which allowed so called independent rating agencies such as Fitch, Moody's and S&P to deliberately lie, rate junk mortgages AAA and send the country off the cliff, needs to be tightened and regulated much more severely than it is. Romney doesn't want that. That scares me. John Corzine, a democrat, who used deregulation to lose over a billion dollars out of his company and have no idea where the money went is proof. Bernie Madoff could not have done what he did were it not for continual pressure to deregulate starting from the Reagan administration moving forward. Not being a big fan of Obama, I am also a realist. Right wing deregulation policies collapsed our economic system into nearly a full depression. This will not get fixed overnight, as it took FDR many government programs including WPA, tighter regulations on banks and brokerage firms, CCC, over 15 years and a World War to get us out of the depression. Nearly all jobs during WWII were govt. or govt. related jobs . 4 years is far too short of time to expect the economy to flu****elf of the deregulating damage that sent us into collapse in 2008. Credit defaut swaps are still everywhere. Few of the crooks got put into jail or indicted for their theft under Obama, but even less would be held accountable under republicans or Romney. It doesn't look pretty in the future. Tax rates are far far too low. I was at a senior seminar the other day showing old folks with $65K/year in SS and pension checks and federal taxes of only $2200. That is only 3% taxes. We can't operate with most of the people paying little to nothing in taxes and parties thinking we need further tax cuts. Under Eisenhower and Kennedy, the top tax rate was 90%, but the govt. was not creating such debt from lack of funding.
I listened to Mitt speak in Iowa this evening.....very inspiring.
All the community organizer had to say today in Iowa was more hate and revenge.
I did not hear Odumbo defend his past 4 yrs. aside from once again spiking the ball about him entering the compound and putting a bullet in his Brother's Head and paying off his Union Buddys.
The Tea Party Patriots want to encourage parents with children in College or living in their basements to vote Republican Nov. 6......explain to them if they don't, their future is bleak. Explain that 50% of college grads. cannot find work and the ones that do, it's most likely a minimum wage job.
Tell them If Obama is re-elected you may not have a job in the future and most likely you will have to use their college funds to survive......give the kids a dose of Realville.
Tell the kids it is normal to be a liberal when they are young and carefree but when they enter the real world outside of academia it is very different. The time for ideology ends when they are standing in the unemployment line or delivering pizzas.

Gov. Rick Scott goes fishing
Scott fishes in Florida Keys to promote ...
KEY WEST — Gov. Rick Scott cast a fishing line into the calm ocean waters off the Florida Keys on Thursday in an attempt to promote a state tourism industry reeling from a bad economy and last year's Gulf oil spill.
The Republican governor went fishing for tarpon along with Kathy Barco, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's chairwoman, and executive director Nick Wiley.
Tourism officials promote Florida as "the fishing capital of the world," and Scott hoped to show that the state's waters had plenty to offer visitors in spite of last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill and federal fishing limits on species such as snapper and grouper.
Wearing a life jacket and a baseball cap against the sun, Scott fished off a 35-foot charter boat in waters about one mile and five miles off Key West, at the very end of the Florida Keys. He hooked one tarpon, but it snapped the line and got away.
"That would have been fun — that would have been my first tarpon that I ever caught," Scott said when the boat returned to the marina.
He did reel in a large gag grouper, which he released back into the water after posing for pictures.
"I love fishing ... and part of my job is to make sure people know about these things," Scott said.
He said the fishing trip had the same intention as the series of "workdays" he began last week, in which he spends time doing jobs with regular Floridians — to "get out and listen to people and make sure you know what's going on out there."
Scott paid $550 for the half-day charter himself. He was accompanied by two conservation commission boats carrying wildlife officers and reporters.
Saltwater fishing in Florida employs nearly 55,000 people and generates more than $5.6 billion, including more than $3.3 billion in retail sales, according to the conservation commission.
Barco praised Scott's support for her agency, but she worried about a decline in fishing tourism.
Last year's Gulf oil spill only stained beaches in Florida's Panhandle, but the state's reputation for diverse fishing in clean waters was badly tarnished by media reports about the spill, she said.
State economists are working to determine how much revenue Florida lost because of the spill as they seek reimbursement from British oil giant BP, which owned the Deepwater Horizon well that spewed oil into the gulf for months.
Barco said her agency might use some of the money from that reimbursement to start fish hatcheries on Florida's Gulf Coast.
The poor economy also has contributed to a tourism decline. Law enforcement and business owners in the Keys reported fewer tourists than in previous years during last month's two-day lobster mini-season, she said.
"Not to say it wasn't a zoo, but definitely not the numbers turned out that were out, say, four years ago. It's been a slow decline, and I'm confident it's the economy," Barco said. "People don't have that extra money, and although it's a little two-day season, if they used to come for a week, they just come for two or three days. And gas prices are high."
Federal limits on hauls of snapper and grouper also keep some fishermen off the water, she said.
"You're only allowed to keep a certain number of fish, and they keep cutting that number back," she said. "That makes somebody think twice before they load up their boat with fuel and ice and lunch and head out to fish."
Scott was sympathetic to the complaints over the federal regulations.
"We care about our state, we should be able to control our own destiny," he said. "We want to make sure we have great fishing, we don't want any of the fish to become extinct, we want to do that right thing. We know — we're here every day."

I guess when you have a President that is failing in all of his policies, it is natural to turn to one of the worst presidents in history, Jimmy Carter, in order to play the "Race Card." As a born and bred Southerner who lived in the South when everything was "colored" or "white;" who worked side by side with blacks in agricultural fields when it was a good summer job for a high-school student and a means of life support for blacks; who had a Saturday football game in the front yard with blacks and whites playing together (this is in the 1950s); who had to join a restaurant "club" in order to eat out; who endured watching automobile processions of 100 or more cars with KKK flags go up and down the highways and who watched mostly "peaceful" integration take place in the South and who also watched in horror when the good people of Boston burned school buses and police cars when the same "busing" standards were applied to them, I feel as though I am imminently qualified to make a comment regarding the Race Card. It is only played out of desperation! Blaming Bush is not getting anywhere. Blame Bush on Iraq, but what about Obama's war in Afghanistan liberal peaceniks – I guess it is OK. Who are the people who are playing the race card? It appears to be every liberal in the US. Admit it, you have run out of real issues. Global warming, talk to China and India. Unemployment, great news, it was only up 530,000 last month, a "downward" trend. The stimulus package, a joke. Cash for Clunkers, sloppily run. Federal control of health insurance, a sham. And then I turn to page 42 of the September 24 Watch and see the sickest and most offensive piece I have ever read called "The Modern World" written by a sicko who is apparently afraid to use his or her real name. (Beware, racist rednecks are watching your every move!) This is gutter trash of the lowest form. Anyone who read it and enjoyed it should get on the train to the loony-bin.
So, that's it for now. This probably will not be published anyway (fair and equal journalism). However, I do commend the Watch for taking a little more of a "center of the road" approach to many issues.

Michael A. Bookman, MD, section chief of Hematology/Oncology at the Arizona Cancer Center, has been appointed to chair the Ovarian Committee of the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG).
The GOG, which is designed to promote and perform clinical trials, new drug development and to establish new standards of care, is a part of the Clinical Trials Cooperative Group Program sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). These cooperative groups include researchers, cancer center members and community physicians who all come together with a common research focus. The GOG is the only such group dedicated to female pelvic cancers.
Dr. Bookman has been a member of the GOG for the past 20 years, and has served on a number of Committees, including Developmental Therapeutics, Medical Oncology, Protocol Development and Operations. He was most recently the chair of the Information Technology Committee.
As the chair of the Ovarian Committee, Dr. Bookman is responsible for overseeing large randomized studies that are involved in the treatment of literally thousands of ovarian cancer patients. That includes prioritizing and evaluating the key scientific and clinical questions that will improve the long-term outcomes for women with ovarian cancer, he said.
"I'm very passionate about clinical research; I think the national cooperative group program – particularly in gynecologic cancers – has been a huge success," Dr. Bookman said. "Most of the standards of care have been developed through GOG, and I'm thrilled to be a part of that process and to try to carry it forward."
"NCI sponsored collaborative groups, like the GOG, are imperative to achieving improved outcomes for women with gynecologic cancers because they try to address fundamental scientific and clinical questions within a trial, and are not limited to focusing on the registration and marketing of new drugs," said Dr. Bookman.
"Dr. Bookman came to the Arizona Cancer Center in 2009 after serving 21 years at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, most recently as vice president for Ambulatory Care and Clinical Research. He is a renowned expert in gynecologic medical oncology with a focus on the development of new treatments for gynecologic cancers," said David S. Alberts, MD, director of the Arizona Cancer Center.
Dr. Alberts chairs the Cancer Prevention and Control Committee of the GOG, a committee he founded in 1994. The Arizona Cancer Center enters patients on GOG clinical trials through affiliation memberships with leadership from Setsuko Chambers, MD, director of gynecological oncology and women's cancer, and Francisco Garcia, MD, co-director of the AZCC's Cancer Health Disparities Institute, and Dr. Bookman.
Formed in 1970 by a group of gynecologic surgeons, the GOG has completed more than 300 clinical trials and registers more than 3,300 patients each year in GOG research trials. The GOG is a non-profit organization with the purpose of promoting excellence in the quality and integrity of clinical and basic scientific research in the field of gynecologic malignancies.

Lounges >Cinema Bar
3967 Sepulveda Blvd, Culver City, CA | Directions 9023034.009434 -118.414638
Monday To Sunday From 02:00 PM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Clarkdale
Just a good old little hole in the wall – Rod (the owner) is an old friend and over the years applied his expertise to this venture when he acquired the bar. Lots of great bands and a wide variety. However, The Cinema does not allow for a mosh pit due to the size but the is very intimate dance and the wee bit o' dance floor. Rod has a knack for bringing in very good looking lady bartenders. And if you take good care of them and Rod is not looking, you will get a good pour. There is a very nice outdoor patio in the back were you probably can bring in you own food from any of the local eateries down the street (Carls jr, Cinco De Mayo, Johnnies, or any of the food coaches on Venice Blvd). Be sure to be there when Rod's niece is working the bar. She is both very nice and very exotic. Sorry Rod, your niece is HOT!!!!! If you do plan on having one too many, there are a number of motels within a block or two of the bar.
This seemingly low-key neighborhood cocktail joint hops with live music. – In Short
The oldest drinking establishment in Culver City may look like your grandfather's bar, with dark wood walls, sullied stools, the world's oldest piano and a decorating scheme based solely on Christmas lights--but don't be fooled. Cinema is packed with artsy bohemian types of all ages who are in search of great music and an unpretentious watering hole to call home. The bar staff knows many people by name, the jukebox plays country and old-school rock standards and the cocktails are stiff and cheap.
Seedy – Great little bar, with a good old local culver city following. Great live music, that gets your feet tapping in your chair till you can no longer take it and your up dancing. Good pours, good prices and afterwards lots of local favorite food joints to quench your hunger. No glamour, No ritz, just a feel good bar in the heart of culver city.

April Productions Presents THE VINDICATION OF SENYORA CLITO MESTRES, 3/21-25 & 31
April Productions presents a re-visioning of its production of The Vindication of Senyora Clito Mestres, starring Artistic Director Dragana Varagic who was nominated for an Outstanding Performance Dora Award for her solo in this acclaimed work just over a decade ago. The Vindication of Senyora Clito Mestres, in an all-new production directed by Varagic, runs March 21-25 at Theatre Passe Muraille's Backspace with an additional performance March 31 at the Isabel Bader Theatre.
Varagic first performed the piece - written by Catalan novelist Montserrat Roig (translated into English by Elisabet Rafols-Sagues and the late Governor General's Award-winning Canadian poet Anne Szumigalski) and originally directed by Chris Abraham.
Presented on the heels of International Women's Day, The Vindication of Senyora Clito Mestres is from one woman to all women. It speaks about a woman who finds herself unexpectedly at a crossroads. It is a story of a woman who loses her husband, her child, her homeland and her identity, but finds salvation in her return to theatre. Roig uses the metaphor of the Greek queen Clitemnestra to tell the story of an actress who, by preparing herself for the role, finds her own voice and inspiration to overcome the tragedies of her life.
In this new staging, Varagic was inspired by her work with world-renowned European theatre artist Jozef Nadj, studying integration of text-based and image-based theatre. In this reworked version, she takes the script and creates two selves of the same woman - one persona on stage and the second persona on video, crossing the boundaries between fiction and reality.
Varagic directs a creative team including production designer Snezana Pesic, winner of a 2011 Betty Mitchell Award for Outstanding Lighting Design, and Toronto media artist Bojo Vasic, winner of a Gold Award at Dallas HeSCA Media Festival for his video work.
April Productions was founded by Artistic Director Dragana Varagic with the aim of producing plays that reflect the contemporary Canadian cultural fabric and that search for the connections between modern and classical, Canadian and international theatre.
April Productions' The Vindication of Senyora Clito Mestres opens March 21 and runs to March 25, 2012 at Theatre Passe Muraille's Backspace, with an additional performance March 31 at the Isabel Bader Theatre. Performances Wed-Sat 7:30pm, Sat & Sun 2pm at Theatre Passe Muraille's Backspace, 16 Ryerson Ave. and Saturday March 31 8:30pm at Isabel Bader Theatre, 93 Charles St. W.
Tickets are Wed - Sat $25 and Sat & Sun Matinee $18. For tickets to Theatre Passe Muraille performances March 21-25: Call Arts Box Office at 416-504-7529 or online www.artsboxoffice.ca. For tickets to Isabel Bader performance March 31: Call 416-828-2390 or online at www.systementertainment.com.
Dragana Varagic spent twelve years at The National Theatre in Belgrade where she won major awards for her work, both on stage and on television. She emigrated to Canada eighteen years ago and continued her career here. Dragana has worked as an actor, director and teacher across the country.

GC: Triple Angle NHL Play
0 Reply | 555 ViewsOn 11/10/2011 01:33 PM in NHL
On Thursday the free NHL Play is on the Boston Bruins. Game 152 at 7:05 eastern. Boston has dominated in this series winning the last 5 here at home v Edmonton and 14 of the last 20 of their home games overall. The Oilers have played well recently. However this will be a tough spot for them as they have lost 21 of their last 30 November games and 5 of the last on the road when the posted total is 5 flat. When playing off 3+ road games they are an anemic 1-12 straight up. Look for Boston to get the win here tonight. On Thursday I have 3 Big Plays up. The 5* NFL Play from a 23-1 Indicator, the NCAAF Highest Rated weekday play this season with 2 Perfect Indicators and a 17-2 NHL Power Side. For the free play take Boston. GC

Ezra Pound – Further InstructionsFollow
Come, my songs, let us express our baser passions.
Let us express our envy for the man with a steady job and no worry about the future.
You are very idle, my songs,
I fear you will come to a bad end.
You stand about the streets, You loiter at the corners and bus-stops,
You do next to nothing at all.
You do not even express our inner nobilitys,
You will come to a very bad end.
And I? I have gone half-cracked.
I have talked to you so much that I almost see you about me,
Insolent little beasts! Shameless! Devoid of clothing!
But you, newest song of the lot,
You are not old enough to have done much mischief.
I will get you a green coat out of China
With dragons worked upon it.
I will get you the scarlet silk trousers
From the statue of the infant Christ at Santa Maria Novella;
Lest they say we are lacking in taste,
Or that there is no caste in this family

How to keep your LTN141W3 LCD
Your LCD television and monitor or laptop is designed with the technology of liquid crystals. These screens are very sensitive the touch and can be easily damaged. Also, because the screens are not glass, typical ingredients in glass treatment agents, such as ammonia, should not be used on your laptop or flat screen can monitor.Dust accumulate rapidly on the screen of your TV, computer screen or computer screen. This will strain readability and clarity. Clean your screen whenever it is necessary, but do it correctly to avoid scratches or degeneration LTN141W3 LCD screen displays quality.These are not designed to be touched. It is very important for you to exercise caution in dealing with your liquid crystal display, because it is an LCD screen rather than a glass screen. The small dots that make up images on the screen are each a separate transistor / crystal. The pressure can "crack" pixels easily and even the "rough" surface of paper towels can scratch the display area. When the pixels are damaged, black spots to fill these areas your LCD LTN141W3.
Urgent and grow, whether with a dark object, like your finger or a sharp object like a pen or a knife, the more often more damage than an individual pixel. Imagine not being able to read lines of text on your LCD LTN141W3 or visibility on the image in a bulk section of your TV! Major damage will erase entire areas of imaging. Therefore, keep your fingers and other objects away screen. If you need to highlight the text or image details to others' point of their "electronically using the mouse pointer. Otherwise, add a computer filter to the surface which will help prevent accidental contact, or you can maintain a distance between a "pointer" and the surface of the screen.
When dust, pet hair, dirt or other built on the screen, it is important clean the surface. Before treating your device, disconnect it. Then use a soft cloth such as soft, untreated eyeglass cloths or micro fiber cloths cleaning, rather than tissues. In addition, the use of the correct solution. Be aware that you must not use any product containing ammonia or ethanol, as these components deteriorate LTN141W3 LCD screens. Ensure the cleaning commercial computer monitoring you buy states that it for use as a screen cleaner. Instead of buying a commercial cleaner, some people make their own solution using 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% distilled water (tap water can leave mineral spots).
Spray the cloth, not the monitor. Then cleaning the LCD LTN141W3, laptops, computers or televisions, make sure they are unplugged. Do not place or spray liquid directly on your laptop or TV. Instead, moisten the cloth with the special cleaner and wipe Gently your screen in uniform motion, as counterclockwise, rather than random motions. Use the cleaner sparingly prevent the escape of excess liquid in the keyboard.
All these recommendations apply to computer monitors and laptops your other LCD LTN141W3.

Child Abuse a Concern at Spirit LakeA federal human services administrator is urging sweeping steps to correct what he calls bureaucratic "inaction and excuses" in failing to protect endangered children at Spirit Lake Nation.
By: Patrick Springer, Forum Communications
A federal human services administrator is urging sweeping steps to correct what he calls bureaucratic "inaction and excuses" in failing to protect endangered children at Spirit Lake Nation.
The regional federal administrator wrote state and federal officials, in a detailed June 14 email, that many children on the reservation in north-central North Dakota are subjected to physical, sexual and emotional abuse – including the unprosecuted murder of two siblings more than a year ago.
Thomas Sullivan, Denver region administrator for the U.S. Administration for Children and Families, advocated declaring a state of emergency at Spirit Lake and suspending all state and federal funding to the tribe until qualified professionals can be put in place to run programs.
Sullivan's email letter was blunt in criticizing the tribe as well as state and federal officials in failing to adequately address what he called a "daunting problem."
"The children of the Spirit Lake Reservation are being subjected to actual abuse or the threat of such abuse due to the actions and inactions of adults who have responsibility to protect them from such abuse," Sullivan wrote.
He went on to list tribal officials, singling out Roger Yankton, the chairman of the Spirit Lake Tribe, as well as state and federal program leaders who have been notified of problems but allowed conditions to persist.
Sullivan's letter, obtained by The Forum, is the latest call to action by a frustrated federal official in recent months warning of the dire threat to Spirit Lake children.
As administrator for the Administration for Children and Families in the six-state Denver region, which includes North Dakota, Sullivan has oversight responsibility for a broad range of human services programs.
Although assigning blame broadly, Sullivan was harshest in his condemnation of Spirit Lake Nation leaders for what he views as their callous failure to protect children.
"They have hung signs at the borders of the Spirit Lake Nation, 'Pedophiles Welcome.' They have made these signs operational by firing professional, qualified staff, directing their replacements to ignore reports of abuse and neglect, refusing to prosecute the most egregious cases of abuse, even the murder of children, by demonizing those who speak out on behalf of these children and then claiming piously, 'Our children are sacred' while all look the other way."
Sullivan went so far as to suggest that Yankton should be charged with felony child abuse and endangerment. "The existing record will provide more than adequate evidence to substantiate these charges and result in a conviction," Sullivan wrote.
Yankton, he claims in his letter, placed many children in danger by ordering them removed them from "loving, caring foster home placements" and returned to abusive homes.
"When placed back in these previously abusive homes, the abuse and neglect began again," Sullivan wrote.
Among other allegations cited by Sullivan:
• Children enrolled at the tribe's Head Start program were seen simulating a sex act on each other in the playground and classrooms.
"No one from Head Start or any other program has initiated an investigation to determine where these children learned this behavior," Sullivan wrote, wondering if the children might have been subjected to or observed such contact in their homes.
• A new hire in the tribe's social services program was sent to investigate a report that a toddler from an off-reservation foster home was returned to previously abusive and negligent parents.
"The toddler was publicly reported to have 'more than 100 wood ticks all over his body,' " adding that "all were dug in."
Quoting an unnamed informant, Sullivan wrote, "As gut-wrenching as this story is … remember: This is not an isolated case of neglect. It is common out there, and it is the LEAST of the neglect/abuse that goes on. It is the LEAST."
The new tribal social services staff member, after looking into the toddler's welfare, reported back that there was no problem except a "miscommunication" between the child's parents. The child was not taken to the clinic to have the wood ticks removed, according to Sullivan.
"At what point does such neglect become abuse?" he wrote.
• Sullivan repeated a report passed along earlier by Michael Tilus, a clinical psychologist for the Indian Health Service at Spirit Lake, of a suicidal girl who was allowed to be shuttled back and forth between homes with sex offenders. When informed of the girl's plight, the tribe's social services director purportedly did nothing.
• Credible reports have been made that the tribe's drug and alcohol screening program has been "fully compromised," subverting criminal background checks or ignoring results for those who are "politically connected."
"What is written here," Sullivan wrote, "is simply the tip of the iceberg."
Efforts to reach Yankton and tribal administrators, by phone and fax messages, were not successful Thursday, but Yankton has earlier cited staff turnover and inadequate federal funding for the tribe's problems.
In a "letter of grave concern" dated April 3, Tilus, cited "dozens of cases" where tribal social services officials failed to investigate child abuse and neglect reports over five years.
Tilus, who is the IHS behavioral health director in Fort Totten, complained of "unchecked incompetence" and "dangerous malpractice" of Spirit Lake social services.
As reported earlier by The Forum, Tilus advocated revamping the tribe's entire social services system, saying problems were too entrenched and systemic to solve by simply bring in a new acting tribal social services director.
In his letter, Sullivan refers to Tilus' allegations, and agrees the tribe's problems are booth rooted and systemic. Sullivan said Yankton and the Spirit Lake tribal council should be removed from office for cause if they are "unwilling to actively contribute to the effort" and replaced by enrolled tribal members.
Sullivan was not available for comment Thursday, and directed questions to a spokesman, who did not immediately return messages asking about official responses to Sullivan's allegations and recommendations.
North Dakota officials bristled at suggestions they have failed to act, and said they have taken action and continue to monitor 36 Spirit Lake foster children or children pending adoption.
Funding provided by the state for the children was suspended in February and will not be restored until the tribe demonstrates that it is in compliance with requirements.
"Where they have authority, they're exercising that authority," said Jeff Zent, a spokesman for Gov. Jack Dalrymple, referring to the North Dakota Department of Human Services. "Where they can act, they're acting."
Tara Muhlhauser, the state's director of children and family services, said she did not respond to Sullivan's letter because North Dakota Department of Human Services has limited jurisdiction and has acted where it can.
Scott Davis, executive director of the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission, said he met with Spirit Lake officials in mid-February and believes they are moving to correct problems.
"I know there's been unrest there for some time," Davis said, adding that the state's jurisdiction is limited because of the tribe's sovereignty. He said his offers to provide more help to the tribe have not resulted in a request for follow-up from his office.
Timothy Purdon, the U.S. attorney for North Dakota, a recipient of Sullivan's letter, said the Bureau of Indian Affairs is responsible for social services programs, under contract with the Spirit Lake tribe. BIA officials did not immediately respond to an interview request from The Forum.
In an email response to Sullivan, Purdon referred to the "alleged double homicide" of a brother and sister, found dead May 21, 2011, whose rape and murders Sullivan highlighted in his letter, and said the FBI and BIA have an "active and ongoing investigation into these deaths."
In an interview with The Forum, Purdon said he is proud of his office's record in prosecuting violence as well as criminal child abuse and neglect at Spirit Lake and other reservations, and added of the murder case:
"This investigation is a priority for me and my office, and it has been since the date of the incident."

Frankie Cocozza has been left devastated after his best friend was killed in a street fight.
The controversial X Factor star called off a gig in Scotland and flew home when he found out his pal Connor Saunders had died and he later tweeted: "My life will never be the same".
The 19-year-old plasterer was taken to hospital after suffering severe head injuries in a brawl between two rival groups in Rottingdean, near Brighton, late on Saturday night.
The singer's dad Frankie, Sr. said: "Frankie is absolutely devastated," while a spokesperson added: "Frankie is understandably grieving. He was in Glasgow when he found out and has since returned home. Connor was a very close family friend."
Three students - including a lad of 13 and two 14-year-old boys - are being questioned in connection with the incident.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick May told The Mirror: "At the moment we believe an altercation has taken place between two groups. Members of each group are known to each other and during the incident the 19-year-old victim has been punched to the head, causing him to fall to the floor."
Connor played as a defender for amateur football side Peacehaven & Telscombe FC, who paid tribute to him on Sunday.
The club said: "It was with incredible sadness we learned that Connor Saunders had died following an attack. We have all lost a wonderful person and talented footballer. Connor has many friends because of his lovely nature and his loss is tragic to everyone connected to our club, his friends and family.
"The club is currently in a state of shock. Our condolences go to all the family and we would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult time. RIP Connor, we all loved you and you will never be forgotten."

Retirement investing is for the long term, which means riding out market upswings and downturns, so it's important not to panic at every market dip.
As a long-term investor, consider having at least a portion of your investments in stocks. Historically, stocks have produced returns that outpace inflation and outperform interest-bearing securities such as bonds.1
If you have a short investing timeline, you may want to handle market volatility by using other savings to pay for current expenses, instead of selling stocks that may have declined. That can give your equity investments time to potentially recover their value.

It was a good joke. It made sense and I did not catch it. Very good!
I was joking
A CAS slings symbols around to do math. Geogebra moves and creates drawings to do math. That is what I meant
Now, poetry is a form of art
Yes it is. A CAS is like a poet while Geogebra is like an artist.
But it is something completely different

Bosch's ROS65VC random-orbit sander is designed for rough or finish sanding of wood, paint, and just about anything else that can be sanded with hook-and-loop paper. Its distinguishing feature is how little it vibrates. In most tools there are hard connections between motor and housing, but in this one the motor is isolated from the exterior by hard foam blocks. The result is smooth and nearly vibration-free sanding. The 3.3-amp variable-speed tool can be connected to a vacuum hose or used with the supplied dust filter and collection canister. It comes with a 5- or 6-inch pad or in a kit containing both sizes.
¦ Price: $240 to $300. 877-267-2499. www.boschtools.com.

I've got to hand it to Gust and NIS. When the two of them team up they tend to make some pretty stellar, if under-appreciated games. The Atelier series as a whole is a pretty solid example of this commitment to quality. And now Gust and NIS are ready to take a big jump and bring the series to the PS3 with Atelier Rorona. With some good looking visuals and a revised alchemy system in place it looks like Gust really wants this to be the game that gets them the recognition they've been trying to achieve from the gaming community. My short time with a preview build of Atelier Rorona has me believing that this game is the result of NIS America's desire to release more quality titles, even if they are few and far between.
Atelier Rorona follows a plucky young alchemist named Rorona who is an apprentice for an alchemy shop that is on the brink of being shut down. Her lazy (and sometimes creepy) master, Astrid has run off leaving Rorona with the arduous task of making sure the shop satisfies the needs of the town or else it will be shut down before the year is out. Players will control Rorona while she attempts to keep her new home afloat while also trying to improve the reputation of the shop to prove it is a necessary part of the community. While time never really felt like a factor in previous Atelier titles it now barrels down on you in Atelier Rorona. Every action has a consequence of time now towards your ultimate goal. Heading out for supplies, making alchemy mixtures, all interactions will now have to be managed with a little more attention to how they affect you chronologically which is an interesting twist for the series.
As previously mentioned, Rorona must satisfy quests in order to keep the shop from being shut down. The castle in town hands down major assignments that must be completed every three months or the game ends immediately. There are also people in town who need help and it's up to Rorona to increase the shop's popularity by completing some of these errands for the townsfolk. These errands also have deadlines so it's definitely going to be a challenge to fit them in to such a tight schedule.
The game has a great visual look for a first 3-D entry of the franchise. Those who have played Trinity Universe or Eternal Sonata will feel right at home with the style Atelier Rorona oozes, though I must admit the world as a whole doesn't seem to have received the same amount of love that the characters have. Considering how early this preview build was I expect this title to come out looking fine when it hits retail shelves. A lot of the enemies have made a great transition to 3-D, especially the Puni characters. But that doesn't mean that 2-D has been totally abandoned. Character interactions will occur on a regular basis with stellar art from Meru Kishida, though there is a bit of a disconnect between the 2-D portraits and the 3-D models in that they look distinctly different, and not always in a good way, especially after seeing how this was handled in Trinity Universe when the 2-D and 3-D models were almost indistinguishable. Though I do recognize that this happens with hand-drawn art. Voice acting from the little bit I played sounded solid, and hopefully with the space of a Blu-ray disc there will be a Japanese voice option included.
I didn't get very far in the preview build provided so combat was a bit sparse for me. From what I played it is very reminiscent of previous Atelier titles, with the slight twist being that items play a much bigger role this time around. Items can only be used by specific characters, making those people the linchpin to your party, so make sure you are able to protect them. Characters also don't rely on magic initially as all skills required hit points to be used. It remains to be seen if this gamble of life makes it worth the abilities used in battle.
Atelier Rorona will be landing in Fall 2010 and it looks like another great title from Gust and NIS. Based on the preview build I received I have no doubts that this game will be a solid addition to the PS3 RPG library which hasn't received all that much love since Final Fantasy 13. It's good to see that NIS and Gust are taking a chance with their franchise, though with the PS2 in its twilight years there isn't much reason to go down that path any more. Hopefully when Atelier Rorona hits retail it will do well enough that we'll see future installments in this long running series. Check back soon for our full review.

Brave 70 take the Christmas plunge (From This Is Lancashire)

Brave 70 take the Christmas plunge
1:49pm Wednesday 25th December 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
Members of the Serpentine Swimming Club taking part in the annual Christmas Day morning 100 yards Peter Pan Cup race - first held in 1864 - in Hyde Park, central London
While many people were enjoying a lie-in or an early Buck's Fizz, dozens of hardy swimmers plunged into icy waters for their annual Christmas morning swim.
Some 70 people took part in the Christmas Day race in the Serpentine in London's Hyde Park, watched by a crowd of hundreds who were more appropriately dressed for the cold conditions.
The Serpentine Swimming Club, which organises the 100-yard race, bans wetsuits, meaning anyone joining in can only wear a normal swimming costume or trunks.
Club secretary Brian Thomas took part in his first Christmas Day swim in 1967.
He said: "It's a lovely thing to do, first thing in the morning and in the middle of Hyde Park. It was beautiful. Last year we had torrential downpours but it was sunny and bright today. A lovely morning."
As the water temperature was around 5C, most participants did not hang around long after finishing the swim - with the quickest completing the course in around a minute.
The Peter Pan Cup was awarded to this year's winner, Kristy McIntyre, originally from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, for coming first in the handicapped race. It was named in honour of the book's author JM Barrie, who used to sponsor the cup. The Christmas Day race was first held in 1864.

FORTUNE -- Massachusetts native Nick Kesaris isn't shy about discussing the motivation behind his UBurger restaurant chain. Inspired by established "better burger" joints like Five Guys, Smashburger and The Counter, he and longtime friend Spiro Kouvlis decided to emulate the concept and bring it to New England. They opened their first store in 2006.
"It's standard," says Kesaris, who currently operates three locations, all in the Greater Boston Area. "You see someone succeed, and you copycat."
But UBurger isn't the only new burger on the proverbial American block, and it will be harder to succeed as the specialty burger market becomes saturated. Nationwide, the trend of providing higher-quality alternatives to the major burger chains -- hence the "better burger" moniker -- has quickly spread from a few pioneering restaurants to dozens of copycats. How long before the burger bubble pops?
Usually a few dollars more than traditional fast food options, boutique and specialty burgers thrived during a recession when lighter wallets sent consumers looking for cheaper gourmet. In many cases, customer appetites were even bigger than early chain founders could imagine. Five Guys grew from five stores to over 750 in ten years. Smashburger went from concept to over 100 stores in half the time, and dozens of entrepreneurs -- some with years of experience behind the counter, others with none -- are trying to cash in on their success.
Many offer exotic twists on the classic patty and bun, while others highlight their use of organic and local ingredients. Still others seek to attract customers by supplementing the dining experience with extras unique to burgers. Atlanta's Yeah! Burger, for example, even offers an in-restaurant bar serving beer and cocktails.
While their ascent has been rapid, the boutique chains still represent less than 3% of domestic burger sales, according to Mary Chapman, an analyst with restaurant consulting firm Technomic. Though McDonalds (MCD), Wendy's (WEN) and Burger King aren't relinquishing their grip on the $65 billion dollar domestic market anytime soon, Chapman says there's potential for growth, yet it's doubtful all aspiring entrants will get a juicy bite. And as those fast food giants roll out their own lines of premium burgers while expanding selections of drinks and other sandwiches, market space for affordable gourmet is getting increasingly crowded.
Chapman likens it to the development of large burrito chains like Qdoba and Chipotle (CMG): a gaggle of like-minded founders open similar chains, a few rise to the top as competition increases, and before long an industry ends up restricting the very entrepreneurial climate that initially fed its growth.
Kesaris, for one, is worried the market for specialized burger joints is becoming oversaturated, especially in large metro areas where similar chains are opening up down the street from each other -- and sometimes right across. By the time the newest local chain can consider expansion, there could already be Five Guys or Smashburger within walking distance. While UBurger plans to open up to five new locations in the next three years, Kesaris is cautious with his optimism and believes the small chain owners are perhaps a couple years from having to close down places.
Burgers without borders
Jeff Weinstein, founder and co-CEO of California-based The Counter, thinks the "day of reckoning" for some chains could come even sooner. A relative veteran of the burger wave -- The Counter opened its doors in 2003 and now has 32 locations nationwide -- Weinstein believes the newest, smallest chains will be the first to feel the crunch of both competition and rising commodities prices.
"Our larger size means we have buying power that other brands might not, and we also have a longer term relationship with vendors," he says. "The more we can buy, the better off we are."
Beyond hedging its bets against rising costs and domestic market crowding, The Counter -- along with New York City chain Shake Shack -- is leveraging its established brand name into international expansion, with upcoming stores planned for Dubai, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. As the better burger movement becomes increasingly associated with a handful of larger, slightly older, and increasingly franchise-friendly chains, newer presences -- the "me too's" as The Counter's upper management calls them -- will have a hard time promoting their brands.
But some newer chains are still battling what they see as a winnable fight, hoping that a renewed focus on quality will keep hungry customers coming. Barry Mills, founder of Georgia and Alabama-based FLIP burger boutique, believes his stores can expand across the country due to an emphasis on gourmet options, even if that means higher prices.
"Over the next five years, the better burger movement is going to divide into two separate categories," he says. "The two left standing will be the cheapest better burger and the best better burger. My goal is to be the best burger in whatever cities we're in. I really don't care about cheapest."
For now, at least, the options for hungry burger enthusiasts are at an all time high. Just don't expect them to stay that way.

Assalamu 'alaikum. When performing the ritual bath should our private parts be covered or is it fine if we do it being completely naked? JazakAllah for your answers.

Assalaamu Alaykum, Sufficient ghusl means that you rinse your mouth and nose, then you wash your entire body with water, even if that means plunging yourself into deep water in one go. Complete ghusl means washing your private parts and anywhere else that is contaminated with traces of impurity, then you do full wudoo', then you pour water over your head three times, making sure that it reaches the roots of the hair. Then you wash the right side of the body then the left side.According to a hadeeth narrated by 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) she said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did ghusl in the case of janaabah, he would start by washing his hands, then he would pour water with his right hand into his left and wash his private part. Then he would do wudoo' as for prayer, then he would take water and make it reach the roots of his hair, using his fingers. When he saw that it was thoroughly wetted, he would pour three handfuls of water over his head. Then he would pour water over the rest of his body. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (273) and Muslim (316). so i think it is safe to say No you do not cover your private area as water needs to reach every place. Insha Allah this helped u
