Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Unfunny, unsexy, but will likely still sell/rent.
A dull title that borrows the misogyny and foul language of The Sopranos, promptly removes any remnants of an interesting story line or compelling characters, and replaces them with aggressive but largely dull sex.
It's too bad on all fronts. Rob Spallone is a perfect Tony Soprano type, but there's so little character development that he comes off as just another tough guy asshole from New Jersey. Or are viewers supposed to enter with their knowledge of Tony Soprano and fill in the blanks themselves? Or maybe the development was in the first six volumes of this series? If so, it's pretty high expectations of porn fans.
It's a shame about the sex, too. It's an excellent cast, but the scenes are flat and uninteresting and disappointingly unsexy.

I'm trying to help out on a non-profit's site that's a bit of a mess. They have about 20 core pages on their site menu but 180 in their archive. They didn't use the Post function, so basically anytime someone needed to make a temporary fix, they built a page out of it.
I know Analytics show the most-visited pages but is there a way to determine the least visited pages or at least the ones that have no actual links pointing to them? We want to clear out some of this dead weight but if one of the standalone pages has decent search presence, we'll keep it.

Norwich — Police Chief Louis J. Fusaro Sr. says he cares about the health and welfare of Officer Jonathan Ley, and all his officers, as if they were his own sons and daughters.
With Ley still in a bed at Yale-New Haven Hospital recovering from multiple gunshot wounds, Fusaro said at a press conference Tuesday that the thoughts and prayers of Ley's fellow officers are with him.
"This is something you don't want to see happen to one of your kids," Fusaro said with an emotional crack in his voice.
Norwich officers were in a somber mood Tuesday, sleep-deprived either from a night spent at a standoff with a Norwich gunman or from an overnight vigil at Ley's bedside.
Crisis counselors from the city's employee assistance program were made available to officers for a debriefing of the incident. The Norwich Police Chaplains Unit also was on hand.
The only good news of the day came when Ley's condition was upgraded overnight and again Tuesday, going from critical to serious to fair. Ley's family joined Norwich officers at the hospital throughout the night Monday. Ley, father of a 2-year-old son, was talking and helping everyone stay upbeat, Fusaro said.
Fusaro said the investigation into the standoff, which ended with a self-inflicted gunshot wound by gunman Jason Razzino, was being handled by the state police major crime unit and the New London County State's Attorney's Office.
"The incident's over but much work remains," Fusaro said. "At this point, our priority is the health and welfare of Officer Jonathan Ley."
Speaking from memory, police say Ley is the first Norwich officer to be shot since Officer Vic Darr was injured by a shotgun blast while pursuing a bank robber in downtown Norwich in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
Ley, a 38-year-old Norwich native who was hired by the department in 1998, is well respected by his peers and has of late become the face of the department for candidates and new recruits. For the past two years, he has worked as a background investigator with the department's recruitment, selections and training division, attending numerous job fairs in the department's ongoing recruitment effort.
Ley has served in numerous department capacities, including boat captain and trainer, and mountain bike instructor, and is a certified police instructor who has been involved in regional training in areas of police batons, pepper spray, handcuffing, and arrest and control.
He is also known as a fitness fanatic — he works with new recruits during fitness tests and is part of the annual Special Olympics law enforcement torch run.
"He's a dedicated officer who takes the recruitment job very seriously — like everything else he does here," Norwich Capt. Patrick Daley said. "He's super, super committed."
Fusaro said Ley was the recipient of a 2004 lifesaving award and an exceptional service medal in 2008, and has received numerous commendations and exemplary service commentaries from citizens.
"He's a pleasure to be around," Fusaro said.
A Norwich Free Academy graduate, Ley served from 1992 to 1996 in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he received military qualifications as a boarding officer and law enforcement officer.
As a Coast Guard reservist, he was called to active duty several times, including during the days following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in 2003 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and in 2009 with the Coast Guard Port Security unit in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Norwich Police are accepting "get well" cards for Officer Jonathan Ley, Police Chief Louis Fusaro said. Cards should be mailed to Officer Jonathan Ley, c/o Norwich Police Department, 70 Thames St., Norwich, CT 06360. Norwich police will deliver the cards to Ley, who is recovering at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

FORT OSAGE, Mo. (AP) - A 47-year-old assistant Fort Osage fire chief has died in crash on his way to a fire in rural Jackson County.
The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/ZddG7N ) reports that Harold Hollingsworth, a 16-year veteran with Fort Osage, was driving to a fire during a severe thunderstorm Sunday night when his fire department SUV slid off the road and hit a tree.
Todd Farley, an assistant fire chief with the Central Jackson County Fire Protection District, say it's the first time a Fort Osage firefighter has died in the line of duty.
Fort Osage is a town of about 7,000 about 30 miles east of Kansas City. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating.
Funeral arrangements were pending Monday.

We'll show you how to beat the heat by staying cool and hydrated this summer.
Spring is here but so are the sneezes and sniffles that usually accompany it, making more than 50 million people in the U.S. miserable, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
Colder weather is setting in and with the change of seasons you might also notice more people coughing, sneezing and calling in sick. It's a harsh reality that these chilly months are strongly associated with the cold and flu.
From lazy days at the beach to weekend hikes, there's a lot to love about summer, but spending more time in the great outdoors means you could be running into some potential health issues.
Extreme heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the US. Heat-related deaths are often a result of heat stroke and related conditions, but also occur under other health conditions.
Over the past few decades, unusually hot summer days have become more common in the United States.
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, these foods and drinks may be making them worse.
Public health officials say the United States is experiencing a resurgence of measles because some parents are opting out of the recommended vaccines for their kids.

Oh my God, that's perfect. You worked Spock Prime in very well, and characterized Jim so successfully. He was ignorant, not unintelligent, which is a difficult distinction to make, especially in such a short story. And I could just see all their spluttering faces at that bar...
The only thing that confused me just a little was the phrasing of the timing of the pon farr. You said it took an incident with pon farr, but it seems like Jim's already gotten the idea by that time. I think you could get rid of that clause in the sentence and it would make a little more sense.
But omg Bones... dying!

In a study by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Rosemary Yancik from the NIA in Bethesda, Maryland and colleagues performed a retrospective chart review of 1800 postmenopausal women with breast cancer, ages 55 and older. In total, 73% of the women had stage I or stage II breast cancer, 10% had stage III or stage IV disease, and 17% were not assigned a stage.
Nearly all patients with stage I or stage II node-negative breast cancer received treatment that was consistent with National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommendations. However, a significant inverse relationship was noted between patient age group and likelihood of receiving NIH-consistent therapy. In addition, on logistic regression analysis, women aged 70 years and older were significantly less likely to undergo axillary lymph node dissection.
The presence of diabetes, renal failure, stroke, liver disease, a previous malignant tumor, and smoking were statistically significant predictors of early mortality when age and disease were included. Just over half of all deaths were from breast cancer. Heart disease and previous cancers were the next most common causes. By the end of the 30-month followup period, 15% of subjects had died.
"This paper is really a surveillance report, documenting, with population-based data, the magnitude not only of the cancer burden but of the age-related burden of other issues," Dr. Yancik told Reuters Health. "Breast cancer rates peak in the upper age segment of the population," she said. "A lot of people don't really know that."
"The other important message is that breast cancer doesn't occur by itself," Dr. Yancik noted. "In older women, it is occurring in a woman's body that may have preexisting illnesses." However, Dr. Yancik went on to say that she believes "it is important to emphasize the heterogeneity of aging and of the tumor stage."
"As long as prevention and cure of breast cancer remain elusive, postmenopausal women will require additional health resources to promote early detection, optimum treatment, long-term followup, and supportive care," the researchers conclude in the journal.

The Aro Ha wellness retreat, set on 8.4ha of land 4km south
of the Glenorchy township, and which has been three years in
the making, will tomorrow host its first retreat guests.
At the official opening on Thursday, Mr English, who is also
the member of Parliament for Clutha Southland, trumpeted the
foreign investment benefit.
He thanked the centre's American business partners Damian
Chaparro and Chris Madison for choosing New Zealand and the
location near Glenorchy, which is ''really the only place in
New Zealand where creativity and business are seen as the
same thing''.
The Overseas Investment Office and Lakes Environmental - now
merged with the Queenstown Lakes District Council - granted
consent for the centre. Mr English also thanked the business
partners for bringing ''the different vision that you have
when you come from larger, more complex societies''.
A five-day Enrich and Invigorate retreat starts at NZ$4550
per person and a seven-day Delve Deep retreat at NZ$6250.
The accommodation provides for up to 32 guests and the centre
includes a spa with saunas, spa and massage rooms.
Mr Chaparro said there was a ''real need for the facility''
and the project was ''a bit of a dream''.
The official opening included a powhiri, karanga, whaikorero,
group waiata and later, guests at the opening were invited to
help plant a tree by using a trowel to apply dirt around the
Mr Chaparro said the tree was planted to symbolise the
intention to stay.

Quoting KEEPEROFTHEGATE:
While no one can say for sure what is going to happen, we can look at indicators and predict what will probably happen. Such indicators as lower SST's, neutral-El Nino conditions, and likely higher shear values in the MDR all indicate that this year will be an average to slightly below average hurricane season. With that said, all it takes is one!

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
by E. E. Cummings
Stanza 5 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Line 17-19
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
- So, the speaker has taken on this journey into the mysterious realms of his lover's power, and here in the last stanza kind of throws up his hands.
- He's been trying to pinpoint exactly what it is that gives her so much power over him, but here basically admits that he has no idea. She can open and close him at will, and there's nothing he can do about it.
- Now, he admits that some deep part of him knows that he'll never quite know.
- Notice how he brings back the idea of the eyes having a voice and, of course, the image of roses. Check out "Symbols, Imagery, Wordplay" for breakdowns of those elements.
Line 20
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
- With this last line we get a little more personification when the speaker implies that the rain has hands.
- However, once again we're reminded that his lover is more powerful than a force of nature.
- And once again her power is subtle, or you could even say fragile.
- Her hands are even smaller than the rain's, giving her the ability to open and close the speaker more deftly than the rain can open and close a rose. Again, we're reminded of the paradox of the immense power this addressed person has over our speaker and her total fragility.
- We've got some more squished words here too.
- First, there's "nobody,not." To us smooshing these two negative words together seems to emphasize that absolutely nobody has got amazing small hands like the speaker's lover.
- So, a couple words later when "rain,has" comes up, it ironically emphasizes what the rain doesn't have.

82% 6 year graduation rate for all D1 athletes. Most of the schools in the BCS top 10 rankings cost under $25k/yr out of state, some (Texas A&M, Florida) are under 6K/yr in state. Assuming your 85 players on scholarship per year (the max in fb) at 40k/year in education costs, that "costs" the schools $3.4 million a year in player cost. Compare that with top schools pulling in upwards of $50 mil/year profit, coaches making 6 figures, the NCAA president making 6 figures, and ESPN CBS ABC all making millions. College Football isnt about an education, its about football, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying, or blind. Oregon and Stanford have each received hundreds of millions of dollars from Phil Knight to become relevant programs. Boone Pickens did the same thing of OK St. The UA founder has just started it in Maryland.

Hi everyone.
Quick question about the behavior of the wp_nav_menu function. The codex says :
Given a theme_location parameter, the function displays the menu assigned to that location, or nothing if no such location exists or no menu is assigned to it.
If not given a theme_location parameter, the function displays
* the menu matching the ID, slug, or name given by the menu parameter, if that menu has at least 1 item;
* etc.
In my experiments however, "menu" seems to be taking precedence over "theme_location" if both are declared. The following code outputs the "Primary Navigation" menu as defined via the admin panel, not the menu actually associated with the registered "footer_menu" location in said panel.
wp_nav_menu( array(
'menu' => 'primary-navigation',
'theme_location' => 'footer_menu',
'fallback_cb' => ''
) );
This seems inconsistent with the doc.
I know it's not a big deal, but am I missing something ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

Henry Boot Makes Profit on Recovering U.K. Property Market
Henry Boot Plc, the U.K. property company that built Pinewood film studios, reversed losses to record full-year profit on signs of a recovering U.K. commercial real estate market.
Net profit in the year to Dec. 31 rose to 11.8 million pounds ($19.3 million), or 9.1 pence a share, compared with a 7.4 million pound loss in the year-earlier period, the company said in a Regulatory News Service statement today. Sales climbed 13 percent to 131.9 million pounds.
"Whilst remaining challenging, the property market has stabilized and is now showing some signs of recovery," Chairman John Reis said in the statement. "However, I continue to believe that the recovery will be patchy and relatively long and drawn out."
Henry Boot said government staffing cuts within local authority planning departments may affect the number of permits granted over the coming years, the company said. The developer said more than 20 percent of its land portfolio received local government approval, compared with around 10 percent five years ago.

Giving something back.
Giving something back.
We've had a few enquiries recently regarding Project Linus and its absence in the exhibition.
I first heard about Project Linus in 2003, when I lived on the Isle of Wight. The headline 'Blankets of Love for Sick Children' was followed by a news report detailing how volunteers had presented a pile of quilts to St Mary's Hospital children's ward and neo-natal intensive care unit. As a mother whose twin daughters were born prematurely, but needed little in terms of intensive care treatment, this act of generosity touched my heart.
During the course of my research for Quilts 1700-2010 I continually thoughts of ways in which we could represent the work of an International Charity which continues to help children feel secure in times of sickness or trauma. Indeed, it seemed essential that we not only recognise the importance of the charity, and the emotional support that they provide, but to engage with it in a practical way, with a real outcome.
For this reason we will be collaborating with Project Linus on a forthcoming event entitled 'Patchwork Social'. Over the May Bank Holiday (1-3 May) we will be inviting visitors to activity participate in the creation of a 12 x 12 inch patchwork block by hand or machine. The blocks will then be transformed into a quilt/quilts for Project Linus. As the event will be a series of free drop-in sessions we hope that many visitors will contribute, including those who may not intend to visit the exhibition space. Over the course of three days, the event will provide the opportunity to discover the power of stitch, including the ways in which it can provide comfort and solace as outlined by the work of Project Linus.
Speaking of generosity of spirit. We continue to receive lovely letters and emails for which we are truly grateful. Obviously we know we can't please all the people all of the time but frankly some of the less complimentary comments would certainly give Simon Cowell a run for his money! However, I wanted to share a very touching letter I received from a lady who describes herself as a '93 year old patchwork and quilter'. She continues 'Please accept my congratulations! You are showing some quilts in an exhibition and I am so delighted, because so many people don't realise what a great art this is....the joy and friends that have come from my hobby is so great - and I just say thanks. Good luck with your show - I've spent many happy hours in your Museum over the years - now I don't go out'.
What a star!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jan 01st, 2002
Running Time: 60
Director: Rick Savage
Company: Noose Video Productions
Cast: Dove, Allanah Rhodes, Porsche Lynn, Jane Jayne
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Moderate to heavy S/M lovers will want to add this tape to their collection.
Welcome to the Den of Iniquity where employment seekers come to be punished. Are you looking for a job in an S/M dungeon? Well look no further, that is... if you can take it.
In the opener, two redheads (top and bottom respectively) play a little pussy game. How many smacks does it take to make a pussy cry? The world may never know, but this reviewer was cringing after the first three minutes. Great pussy shots and good equipment keep this scene interesting.
Porn veteran Porsche Lynn (who looks terrific in her rubber buckled dress) joins our redheaded Mistress as together they torture another fortunate gal. Jane Jayne, now a blonde, is coated in hot wax before being tormented with water pistols... very cute and very effective. There are great close-ups on the small streams of water hitting Jayne's clit, well worth watching.
Lynn then turns the tables on the other mistress and using a violet wand, starts to do some damage. Then the tape is over, too soon for this reviewer's pleasure.
Overall this tape delivers in every way with the exception that it should have been longer. Good lighting and a well-equipped dungeon only add to the attractive and well-trained cast.

"New York Times Bestseller "
Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's work changes the national dialogue. Beyond their bestselling books, you know them from commentary and features in the "New York Times," CNN, NPR, "Time," "Newsweek," "Wired," "New York," and more. E-mail, Facebook, and Twitter accounts are filled with demands to read their reporting (such as "How Not to Talk to Your Kids," "Creativity Crisis," and "Losing Is Good for You").
In TOP DOG, Bronson and Merryman again use their astonishing blend of science and storytelling to reveal what's truly in the heart of a champion. The joy of victory and the character-building agony of defeat. Testosterone and the neuroscience of mistakes. Why rivals motivate. How home field advantage gets you a raise. What teamwork really requires. It's baseball, the SAT, sales contests, and Linux. How before da Vinci and FedEx were innovators, first, they were great competitors.
Olympians carry TOP DOG in their gym bags. It's in briefcases of Wall Street traders and Madison Avenue madmen. Risk takers from Silicon Valley to Vegas race to implement its ideas, as educators debate it in halls of academia. Now see for yourself what this game-changing talk is all about.
About the Author
Po Bronson (along with Ashley Merryman) have won nine national awards for their reporting, including the PEN USA Award for Literary Journalism and the American Association for the Advancement of Science Award for Outstanding Journalism. Bronson has authored 5 books including "What Should I Do With My life?, a number #1 New York Times bestseller with more than 10 months on the list. He lives in San Francisco.
Ashley Merryman (along with Po Bronson) have won nine national awards for their reporting, including the PEN USA Award for Literary Journalism and the American Association for the Advancement of Science Award for Outstanding Journalism.

LONDON New Manchester United manager David Moyes has brought in his former Everton assistant Steve Round as his deputy at the Premier League champions along with two other backroom staff from his old club.
On Moyes' first official day in his new job, United said Round had been appointed assistant manager, replacing former United player Mike Phelan who left Old Trafford in May following Alex Ferguson's decision to retire after more than 26 years in charge.
Former England keeper Chris Woods also joined as goalkeeping coach, although he will also perform the same role for the U.S. national team until next year's World Cup, and Jimmy Lumsden arrived as coach.
Woods was previously the Everton goalkeeping coach while Lumsden has been part of Moyes's backroom staff since they were together at Preston North End.
"I have worked with Steve, Chris and Jimmy for a number of years and I am delighted they have decided to join me at this great club." Moyes told the United website (www.manutd.com).
"They bring great qualities in their respective fields and I know that, like me, they feel that this is a challenge to relish. I have great faith that together, we can build upon the success this club has enjoyed over many years."
Although Moyes reported to work at the Carrington training ground on Monday at the start of his six-year contract, most of his players will not report back until midweek with the first day of training scheduled for Thursday.
However the 50-year-old manager is expected to talk to England striker Wayne Rooney, who asked United for a transfer in May according to Ferguson, on Tuesday.
Moyes managed Rooney at Everton before the player moved to United nine years ago as an 18-year-old.
United start a summer tour of the Far East and Australia on July 10.

Meet latest Forester; Focus: World No. 1? Rand McNally's 90th
Subaru has had a good thing going with the Forester since it was introduced in the United States in 1998.
Back then it was a pioneering vehicle, a car-based, small SUV with all-wheel-drive that gave consumers a smaller option at a time when the truck-based Ford Explorer was taking the SUV market mainstream.
Those early Foresters featured a tall stance, AWD, and an "SUV tough, car easy" sales slogan. They also were in the forefront of the compact SUV movement that today has grown into one of the industry's most important segments.
"Those early Foresters were overengineered and over-built," says Subaru's Dominick Infante. "That's why you still see so many of them on the road."
Subaru's car line manager, Todd Hill, and two of its communications executives, Infante and Jessica Tullman, were in the Boston area this month to showcase Forester in both its normally aspirated 2.5i and 2.0XT (turbo) forms.
These are good times for Subaru. The company continues sales momentum across the board as it completes the rollout of the fourth generation Forester.
"We're coming off our best month ever in March," says Infante, "but Forester sales never dropped off the way they usually do during the phasing-out of the previous generation."
For the first three months of the year, Subaru has sold 16,874 Foresters, 25.3 percent of the company's 80,568 sales in that period.
"We're continuing the momentum we built over the last five years, going against the trend and growing our sales during the recession," says Infante.
While Subaru always has done well in the Northeast, Northwest, and Colorado, its share of the overall US market almost has doubled from 1.2 percent to 2.3 percent.
"Right now our biggest problem is plant capacity," he says.
The company's dealers also feel a bit of a pinch because there are only a small number of used Subarus on the market. "People tend to hand down used Subarus within the family," says Infante. "We find that happens with 71 percent of our cars."
"We kept our core values in this redesign," says Hill. "Styling presence, drivability, fuel economy, and a turbo performance option, all were part of the process."
But the two Forester characteristics that may turn out to be the most significant are fuel economy and improved cabin space, especially when it comes to rear seat legroom.
The Forester is a five-passenger vehicle, and all five spots got attention in the new version.
Up front, Subaru moved the A pillar (windshield side frame) forward 8 inches and the instrument panel forward 4.7 inches. In addition, the seating hip point is 1.2 inches higher and there's 1.2 inches of additional shoulder room over the outgoing version. "It adds up to a much roomier feel," says Hill. "In addition, the door sill is 1.5 inches lower, making it easier to get in and out while the ground clearance remains at 8.7 inches."
Rear seat passengers get 3.7 additional inches of legroom plus more foot room under the front seats. For the center passenger in back, the console between the front seats was shortened by 3.9 inches and the drive shaft tunnel is 2.6 inches lower. Additionally the backs of the front seats are scalloped, and the rear door sill is wider and has a nonskid surface.
The standard 2.5-liter engine is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or CVT. The vehicle is rated at 27 miles per gallon combined and 32 on the highway, comparable to competitors' front-wheel-drive models. The fuel economy boost gives the new Forester a 500-mile cruising range.
In turbo dress, the Forester offers 250 horsepower and a CVT that can operate as both a six-speed and eight-speed with paddle shifters, depending on Si-Drive settings.
Who is No. 1?
Ford and Toyota are in the midst of interesting counterclaims over which has the world's top-selling vehicle. The automotive research firm Polk surprised people earlier this month when it announced that the Ford Focus had overtaken the Toyota Corolla as the world's top-seller.
It turns out the definition of nameplate is at the crux of the controversy. Polk credits Focus with 1,020,410 new vehicle registrations in 2012. Polk lists Corolla as No. 2 with 872,774. However, Toyota officials claim they sold 1,160,764 Corollas in all its variants. Of course, in the United States, the Ford F-150 remained America's bestselling vehicle for the 31st consecutive year.
The road map isn't dead. Even in this day of navigation systems and the Garmin, the Rand McNally Road Atlas perseveres with the 90th edition coming out now. The latest also is available as an ebook and as an iOS application for iPads. ...Volkswagen has started what it plans will become an annual Clean Diesel IQ Survey to measure drivers'attitudes toward diesel.VW classifies the 1,511 respondents as "dedicated," "curious," or "maligner" when it comes to their attitudes on diesels. More than half of diesel owners put improved fuel mileage and strong acceleration among their vehicles' top attributes. At present, it takes about four years for a diesel buyer to reach the break-even point where fuel savings offset addition original vehicle costs and higher diesel prices.

Here are some findings I've been meaning to post for a while.
A bit over a year ago, I fulfilled a decade-long dream of owning a good projector for movies, instead of some silly monitor with a diagonal measured in "inches". My lifestyle very rarely allows me to watch movies (or series*), so when I decide to watch something, it needs to have a rating over 90% on RottenTomatoes, it has to be watched with a bunch of friends, and it needs to be a top-notch audio-visual experience. I already had a surround sound system for over a decade, so the projector was the only missing part of the puzzle.

S&P 500 Extends Longest Rally Since 2010; Treasuries Rise
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose for a sixth day, the longest rally since 2010, amid speculation the Federal Reserve will pursue more stimulus measures. Treasuries rose and commodities fell as Chinese and French data added to signs the global economy is slowing.
The S&P 500 gained 0.2 percent to 1,405.87 as of 4 p.m. in New York, reversing a 0.5 percent drop to close at its highest level since April 3. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell three basis points to 1.66 percent after yesterday touching the highest level since May. Natural gas slid 5.9 percent to lead commodities lower. Corn slipped from a record and wheat lost 2.8 percent. The euro pared an early loss versus the dollar.
Stocks opened lower after China's exports increased 1 percent in July from a year earlier, trailing all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists, and French industrial output stagnated in June from May. Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams said lack of progress in reducing unemployment and the slow economic recovery have convinced him it's time for the central bank to undertake more quantitative easing, the San Francisco Chronicle reported today.
"The weaker the data, the higher the likelihood of stimulus from central banks," said Alan Gayle, a senior strategist at RidgeWorth Capital Management in Richmond, Virginia, which oversees about $47 billion. "The weakness in China is likely to prompt a move there," he said. "While the Fed has been clear it will do anything to support growth, some people tend to think it's inevitable."
Five Weeks
The S&P 500 extended its rebound from a five-month low in June to 10 percent. The index climbed 1.1 percent over the past five days to cap a fifth straight weekly advance, its longest rally since March, and extend this year's gain to 12 percent.
Costs to protect against further declines decreased. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility, the benchmark gauge of U.S. options prices known as the VIX, slipped 3.5 percent to 14.74, the lowest level since March 26.
Yahoo! Inc. retreated 5.4 percent. Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer has embarked on a strategy review that could mean the company alters plans to return to shareholders the proceeds from the sale of Yahoo's stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Yahoo said late yesterday in a regulatory filing.
Monster Beverage Corp. sank 11 percent as the company disclosed a probe by an unspecified attorney general. Chesapeake Energy Corp. lost 3.1 percent as it received a subpoena from the antitrust office. Research In Motion Ltd. climbed 6.3 percent as two people familiar with the situation said the company's enterprise-services unit has attracted the interest of International Business Machines Corp.
European Markets
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index slipped 0.1 percent, trimming this week's advance to 1.6 percent. The gauge has climbed for 10 straight weeks, the longest streak since January 2006. Hannover Re, the world's fourth-biggest reinsurer, dropped 2.4 percent as second-quarter profit declined 13 percent because of unrealized losses on investments.
"Whilst markets have recently been rallying on bad news -- in the expectation that it will lead to further stimulus from the central banks -- the deterioration in the fundamentals is becoming a bit harder to ignore," said Jonathan Sudaria, a trader at Capital Spreads in London. "Traders may be disappointed if their thirst for stimulus isn't satiated as soon as they expect."
Treasury Yields
Ten-year Treasury yields fell for the first time in six sessions. The 10-year yield climbed to 1.73 percent yesterday, surpassing the U.S. inflation rate and offering investors a so-called positive real yield for the first time in 14 months.
The yield on the German 10-year bund declined five basis points to 1.39 percent, with similar-maturity U.K. gilt rates dropping eight basis points to 1.54 percent.
The cost of insuring against default on sovereign debt rose, with the Markit iTraxx SovX Western Europe Index of credit-default swaps on 15 governments climbing 1.7 basis points to 247.
The euro recovered most of a 0.5 percent slump earlier to trade down 0.1 percent at $1.2294 and weakened against 11 of 16 major peers. The yen appreciated versus 15 of its 16 major peers.
Oil dropped 0.5 percent to $92.87 a barrel and natural gas sank 5.9 percent, leading a 0.9 percent decline in the S&P GSCI Index of commodities. Wheat, soybeans and corn have risen the most this year among the 24 commodities tracked by the measure as the drought parched fields across the U.S. Midwest.
Corn Retreats
Corn futures fell the most this month, slipping 1.3 percent to $8.13 a bushel, on signs that record-high prices may erode grain demand by makers of animal feed, ethanol and food products.
While the domestic harvest probably will drop 13 percent to a six-year low of 10.78 billion bushels this year, demand will shrink 10 percent from a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said today in a report. Corn futures are up 61 percent since mid-June as the crop conditions deteriorated to the worst since 1988.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose less than 0.1 percent and rallied 2.8 percent for its best gain since February. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland companies slid 0.6 percent. Russia's Micex Index dropped 1 percent.

Photo Details
Thanksgiving maskers were children who dressed up on the last Thursday of November and begged for fruit and money. (This was before Halloween was celebrated.) There was a large uproar about this practice - newspapers denounced parents who allowed their children to follow this "hooligan" practice. These children look like they were having fun!

AncientFaces Hooligans dressed as hooligans? These aren't children dressed in Halloween costumes, but Thanksgiving maskers. Especially popular among New York City, children would wear often disturbing costumes, looking disheveled and homely, as they went door to door asking for sweets & pennies. By 1924, with the introduction of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Thanksgiving masking tradition slowly discontinued until eventually merging with the Halloween traditions of today.

Patty Aubel Diethorn My mother in law was born in 1918 , when she was a kid they dressed like hobos and went to the stores and yelled trick or treat. The store owners would either give them a loaf of bread, buns, something like that or for a trick they would put pennies on a metal pan on the heater, oven fire and then throw the hot pennies out on the sidewalk. The kids would get burnt picking up the hot pennies but, no one cared because everyone was so poor they would grab them anyway.
Richard S. Bank They are hobos, part of depression culture. Snow men were also hobos before Frosty.

In the wake of Nelson Mandela's passing, we've made FRONTLINE's The Long Walk of Nelson Mandela available to watch online for the very first time — and many PBS stations will air it as a special broadcast tonight at 9 p.m. (check local listings).
In The Long Walk of Nelson Mandela, FRONTLINE tells the intimate and surprising story of the Nelson Mandela few people know: a bomb-throwing revolutionary who became a skilled politician in prison, and a passionate man who sacrificed the love of his life for a country that needed him more.
Widely hailed as the definitive television biography of Mandela, the documentary draws on stories and insights from Mandela's closest colleagues, fellow prisoners, friends and political adversaries —as well as unique photos and rare archival film.
Beyond the documentary, we have also created an interactive Facebook timeline that chronicles Mandela's formative upbringing, his time in prison, and his trailblazing quest to end apartheid in the country he loved.
Thank you for joining us as we look back on Mandela's long walk to freedom and profound impact on the world.

I have put on some weight. I will figure it all out, but for now i am a good 20 lbs heavier than I should be.. I feel like I have sausages stuffed into my jeans, my waist is nonexistent....I am fat for me....not as big as I ever was (still would have to gain 30 lbs to be my fattest, or 20 lbs to be where i was when I had michelle). Anyway, i know i added some cushion, insulation, whatever you want to call it, and I am not 100% sure why as i have not been eating that poorly, but when I get back into spark people I will be sure to find that the chocolate i ate while wrapping was much more than 20 calories and fat free (HA!) and other such indiscretions.
Well yesterday I met a massage co-worker i had become friendly with, our pace we worked together closed down and I went to see her new digs and have lunch. Well, she has gall stones and is in agony so she eats very little and no fat and very plain. She has lost weight and can use to gain some, we talked about her upcoming surgery and how she feels miserable when she eats poorly. Then I commented I put a few on,and she said I noticed, and not in a hurtful way. She is from France, a good 15 years older than me and more direct I suppose. Well, she was also concerned ,wondering if i was alright or if there were something medically causing the gain, she knows my celiac saga..... Well the one thing that got me questioning is she asked what dh says about it. If it bothers him. I was stumped. I had never thought of my hubby getting upset at me. I mentioned it to him tonight and he seemed to have the same reaction like what? He did say if i got to be as big as this woman we mutually know he'd have to speak up, but she was obese, had stomach stapling surgery and then surgery to remove excess skin. Seriously large. So I was happy he didn't seem to notice my extra love, as well as the fact that we actually talked about that, to find out where he would mention it to me.
But curious, do your dh's mention when you gain weight? When do they? I have moved into my fat clothes and those are tight?, and nothign from him. What do they say if they say something? Anyway I gripe and complain, but he is a good catch.
