The tiles can be installed by using a good quality silicone adhesive, and taping in place until they are dry - usually around 24 hours. Alternately, the tiles can be siliconed onto a board while flat on a table, and the board can then be screwed to the wall after the adhesive has dried. The tiles can also be set into, or mortared on to, stucco exteriors.
They are remarkably visible because of the contrast with the white numbers, and work very well on Bungalow or Arts & Crafts style homes.

Three of the seven students suffered head injuries and had to get stitches at a local hospital.
The incident took place at Bandels Don Bosco School when the students were decorating their classroom for the celebrations and playing with foam spray.
According to the police complaint lodged by the parents of the students, Vice-Principal Subir Mondal entered the classroom, immediately snatched the foam spray from the students and hit them with it. Three students Ishan Das, class monitor Subrata Rudra and Aritra Sengupta received serious injuries.
The students were playing with foam spray and spraying the liquid on each other. At that instance, Father Mondal entered the class and tried to settle the students. In his attempts to put the class in order, he snatched the can and threw it. Unfortunately it hit the two students, said Father K Matthew, the principal of the school, who termed the injuries as minor.
He said the school had forwarded its report to the Don Bosco Mission. We will wait for the response of the authorities on the incident, he added.
Kaushik Das, father of Ishan, said his son had to get two stitches on his head. I lodged the complaint with the police because I want the vice-principal to be punished so that such incidents are not repeated, Das said. My son is the monitor of the class and he was trying to calm down the excited students, he added.
This is not the first time Mondal has found himself in such a situation. Sources in the school said the vice-principal has a history of subjecting pupils to corporal punishment. He was with the Liluah Don Bosco School from where he was transferred here after he faced similar trouble there, said a school staffer.
These kind of inhuman behavior and activity is shame on our state and Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan these teacher( vice-principal, Subir Mondal) through missionary background or through political party channel . Father K Matthew, the principal of the school, comment in this the injuries as %u201Cminor%u201D injuries can be minor can be fully heal up but incident is not minor this kind of attitude can encourage more violent incident in the school within teacher and student. School board should fired him and state government can ask Subir Mondal to return and surrender all educational qualification certificate achieved by him and also can offer and help him to get a job in slaughterhouse in the state.
Teacher so modi becuse ,student laugh that event and teacher beat up .so same on u.please arrested.

I took a massive gamble and bought a setup from one of my mates who hadn't got a clue how to mix himself- and being impatient as fuck he wanted to get rid of them as quickly as possible because he couldn't do it.
I literally self taught myself everything- so in that sense I'm proper proud of what I've learnt with such little input from anywhere/anybody else. It is possible to do, but as everyone else said if you can get somebody else to help you it would be insanely useful.
The only people I know who mix all use CDJs nowadays at any rate, so even if I ever did want help id be pretty fucked lol.

Those qualities are a big reason Brooks will move on to the Division I level to play college basketball. Brooks signed a "full ride" scholarship on Wednesday to play at Eastern Kentucky University.
"She pretty much plays any position I ask her to because she's probably our most versatile player," Forsh said. "She plays the wing, she plays the point, she even goes inside and plays the post sometimes."
Forsh said the 5-foot-11 Brooks would probably play in a shooting guard-small forward type role for the Lady Colonels.
Brooks had interest from North Florida, Mercer and Kennesaw State, but ultimately went with Eastern Kentucky after visiting the Richmond, Ky., campus in September for her official visit.
"One of the factors that made me choose was how they were always there," Brooks said. "They were one of the first offers – the coaches and teammates. Just the level they play at as far as watching them practice, their style of play. It just felt like where I belonged."
Brooks has been a four-year starter for the Lady Tigers. She averaged 10.4 points and five rebounds in 26 games last year. She also plays for the AAU Georgia Pistols Miller team.
In addition to basketball, Brooks also plays volleyball for Douglas County and is a member of the American Sign Language Club and the Beta Club. She has a 3.5 GPA and recently received the Certificate of Achievement award from Douglasville Mayor Harvey Persons for her academics and contributions to the community.
"She comes from good parents, academics are important to her and she's a good student," Forsh said. "She seems to have her priorities in order. She's just a quality individual."

Filed under: Sedan, Kia, First Drives, LuxuryKia's Second Effort At Luxury Finds More Love Than The Amanti The same recent global economic crises that have led luxury automakers to invade the small car market are also somewhat responsible for the influx of near-luxury sedans from mainstream automakers. As the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Audi are reaching down for new customers, automakers like Hyundai, Chevrolet and Toyota are reaching up to bridge the gap and fill in the white space between the industry's typical high-volume large sedans and established luxury sedans. Joining this emerging market, the 2014 Kia Cadenza is the latest sedan to blur the line between value and luxury. One of Kia's core focuses has been offering value to customers, and even with a starting price of $35,100, the Cadenza still represents plenty of that kind of thinking. Despite what might first come to mind, the Cadenza is not named after a piece of furniture. Instead, Kia notes the name for its new front-wheel-drive flagship comes from the Italian musical term that translates as 'cadence'. The name thus fits in nicely with the brand's other musically inspired model name, Forte. Much like the Hyundai Genesis, the Cadenza will serve as a test of sorts to see how much customers are willing to pay for a Kia, and despite recent reports indicating that Kia has confirmed the Quoris for next year, the reality is that the availability of the bigger rear-wheel-drive flagship will be determined in part by how well the Cadenza strikes a chord with buyers. This isn't Kia's first crack at mid-level luxury. That distinction goes to the bug-eyed, Amanti, which was killed off in 2009. The same basic recipe is still in place - V6 power, roomy interior and a lengthy list of standard features, yet this car seems altogether better outfitted to appeal to modern consumers than the baroque Amanti. We headed out to the great weather and even better roads near San Diego to test the 2014 Kia Cadenza to see for ourselves if it has the inner harmony and cadence to keep step with full-size luxury sedans or if it's just here to make a bunch of noise.Continue reading 2014 Kia Cadenza2014 Kia Cadenza originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 23 May 2013 11:59:00 EST.

Filed under: Car Buying, Minivan/Van, Sedan, Kia, Luxury What, you didn't think that Kia was going to let Hyundai have all the big-dollar fun, did you? Hyundai may have blazed a trail upmarket with its Genesis Sedan and more recently, the Equus, but its corporate sibling, Kia, has arguably been autodom's hottest brand the last few years, with increases in style, tech, consumer consideration and sales that are the envy of the industry. So it's no surprise that it isn't stopping its North American product onslaught with its just-introduced 2014 Cadenza sedan, it's reportedly readying its premium-minded rear-drive Quoris cruiser for a launch here next year. That's according to a new report from Automotive.com, which spoke with Kia officials at the media launch of the Cadenza. The oddly named Quoris ("derived from the English words 'core' and 'quality,'" says Kia), will likely nuzzle up against its Equus stablemate when it debuts, carrying an estimated $50,000 to $70,000 price tag. To our eyes, the Kia looks markedly more contemporary than the Equus inside-and-out (no surprise, it's a much newer design). And there's even more reason for optimism on Kia's behalf: the Hyundai Equus has been doing just fine on the sales front - even before its recently introduced facelift. So it's not unreasonable to interpret the luxury sedan market as open to the idea of owning a full-size luxury sedan from a non-traditional country. In other news, Kia recently exhumed its elderly Sedona minivan, dusting it off, putting a little more frosting on its flanks and trotting it out to customers anew for 2014. The people mover's odd, Lazarus-like reanimation moment apparently isn't lost on Kia executives, who still very much want a modern minivan. According to the same report, an all-new Sedona, likely informed by 2011's funky KV7 Concept, is still a ways off - but we could hear more about it as early as later this year.Kia to make push upmarket with Quoris next year, new Sedona also likely originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 21 May 2013 19:00:00 EST.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - In a match between two of the top freshmen in the nation, UCLA's Cristina Popescu succumbed to top-seeded Mirela Vladulescu of the University of Alabama-Birmingham 6-3, 6-4 in the second round of the NCAA Individual Singles Championships played at the University of Notre Dame today.
The last of three UCLA players remaining in the individual championships, Popescu knew she was considered the underdog in this morning's match with No. 2 ranked Vladulescu who was selected the ITA's National Rookie of the Year. However, a victory was not out of the question for Popescu who earned Rookie of the Year honors for the West Region herself.
The match started with both players demonstrating confidence and holding serve. Popescu then notched the first service break of the match to take a 2-1 lead. That lead did not last as Vladulescu broke right back, followed by another break by Popescu and yet another by Vladulescu to even the match at three games all. The turning point came when Vladulescu held serve after four deuces in the next game and took a 4-3 lead. She then broke Popescu and held her own serve allowing just two points in each game to claim the first set, 6-3. The pattern of service breaks continued at the start of the second set with Popescu being broken three times and Vladulescu twice. The tide turned in the sixth game of the set when UAB held for the first time in the set and took a 4-2 lead. Popescu also held her serve from that point on, but Vladulescu owned enough of a lead to claim the set, 6-4. Currently ranked No. 32 in the nation, Popescu finished the season with an overall record of 21-12 and just one round shy of claiming All-America honors.
Here are today's NCAA second round singles results involving UCLA players:
(Rank) Name (School) score (2) Mirela Vladulescu (University of Alabama-Birm.) def. (32) Cristina Popescu (UCLA) 6-3, 6-4

Post subject: First time adopter seeking info from experienced adopters
Hello. My husband and I have been wanting a dog for years. After a long time waiting, we finally feel that it is the right time and we've done our homework to determine the right dog for us. We were surprised when we quickly found a dog that seems like a great match and we are very eager to start the process to adopt this little guy. I filled out the application and also emailed the rescue through their website. I have been getting concerned though because it has been nearly a week and I haven't heard a thing back from them in response to my email. A friend suggested that they are likely very busy and a phone call might be better, but when I went back to the site, I noticed there was no phone number listed. Of course they probably get a good many emails from people who aren't serious about adoption, and perhaps don't always respond unless they get a solid application (I'm hoping to hear from them next week after I can assume my application has arrived and has been read). But this got me wondering about how to tell if a rescue is reputable. I found several forums here on Petfinder indicating that adopting a dog can be a really challenging process and that rescue organizations run the gamut from stellar to unethical. Many posters emphasize the importance of doing your homework before getting involved with a rescue, but I really don't know the best way to do that. I've extensively gone over the rescue site (read the testimonials) and looked for reviews online (I found two – both positive). I even contacted the department of agriculture, but it turns out this group doesn't actually have a building; they consist of a network of volunteers and foster homes around the country and they aren't licensed with the state. Beyond these steps, I really don't know how I would find out if an organization is reputable.
I'm afraid we're already too much in love with our would-be doggie and I suspect we'll be very disappointed if nothing comes of this. But now that we've made the decision to adopt, I'm sure we'll keep going until we bring the right doggie home. In the meantime, I was hoping to find out additional info on the adoption process, things to look for in a rescue, how to find out if an organization is reputable, and any other info that a newbie adopter should really know before getting into this process. I guess I just want to be sure we have realistic expectations about this process so that we don't freak out over something pretty normal. I'd also love to hear stories of people who maybe had a rough go but were ultimately successful.
Thank so much!

I have adopted dogs from shelters and rescue groups. I am now also involved in the rescue of dogs/pups. Here is a little info that might help in your search.
Most rescues use foster homes and do not have a building. I am sure they would love to have a physical location but the expense would be too costly.
You are on the right track in applying to rescue a dog. Keep in mind some dogs may get a lot of applications on them. It takes the rescue a while to weed through them and get back to people. Many people involved with rescue hold down jobs and have families to look after.
Any chance this rescue holds adoption events at any local public places? That is a great way to do a meet and greet with both the dog and the rescue group. Making the effort to attend an adoption event is well worth it. You should also check to see if they have a facebook page. If so see if you can join and read what other poster have said about the rescue group.
Some signs of a great rescue group, all animals are spayed/neutered prior to adoption, home checks are done prior to adoptions, the rescue is willing to give you their vet references, all vetting is up to date, all animals are micro chipped and in foster homes.
Good luck with your search and thanks for saving a dogs life!

Most rescues are reputable so don't worry extensively about that. Some are better than others. The important thing is that the animals are spayed/neutered and for dogs heartworm tested. Rescues run the gamut from being quick to respond to sometimes taking several weeks. Volunteers tend to be few and far between and most do not do this on a full time basis.
Most rescues do not place dogs first come first serve. They really want the best match for their dogs. The more information that you can provide about your home the better. Although you've fallen in love with this one, it's quite possible that there is a better dog out there that you just haven't found yet. When I was adopting recently, I contacted a rescue about a female Yellow Lab. She sounded PERFECT for me. The rescue got back to me and told me that they already had several applications on her and that they really wanted her to go to a home with kids (I have none). They told me to look at another dog that they had available. I hadn't even noticed his listing. Well, the black Lab mix that they pointed me to turned out to be the PERFECT match for me! You really need to trust the volunteers on making sure you have the perfect dog. Most rescues are really successful in making matches.
Without a vet history, you are a little behind to begin with when compared to adopters with an extensive vet and pet ownership history. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I don't know if you have done this already, but it would be a good idea to find a vet now and indicate on the application that that is the vet that you plan on using. Rescues want to make sure that you will be committed to health care and training of the dog. I would also suggest looking around now to find a good local trainer so that you can do some basic obedience in the beginning. It will help your relationship with your new dog and you will have a better pet overall.
Although I don't suggest putting in a bunch of applications, it can't hurt to reach out to a couple of rescues. let them know what you are looking for and what kind of home you can provide. When I adopted I was approved with two rescues. I was up front with them and let them know that I had applied with two organizations. They were both fine with this and wanted me to just end up with the right dog. In the end, a great dog found a good home and a rescue had a spot opened up to take in another needy animal.
Adopting isn't really that hard. What you find on these boards is the small percentage of people who have had trouble. You aren't hearing about the majority who quickly found their perfect pet. Keep at it and you will end up with a wonderful new family member.
And I echo the suggestion of going to meet and greets. It's a great way to meet a new dog and to get to know an organization.
also, don't overlook your local shelter. Shelter dogs are just as good as those in rescues. A lot of times the dogs are even housebroken. My new dog came housebroken with wonderful manners and he is originally from a high kill shelter that takes in 40 to 50 dogs a day. Great dogs can be found everywhere. They are just down on their luck.
Keep us posted and make sure you post pictures when you get your new baby!
edited to add:
Don't worry about not having a phone number. The rescue where I got my dog was email only and I didn't talk to them on the phone until later on in the process. Some rescues do this because of the huge volume of calls they would otherwise receive from people who wanted to "get rid of" their pets. Rescues tend to get WAY more of these calls than calls from potential adopters.

Thank you Butter&Lola and StacyBinnj for your input. This is really helpful.
Butter&Lola, I'd love to go to an event, but unfortunately neither the dog I'm interest in nor the actual organization are anywhere close to me. If we were approved to adopt, we'd be making a trip to pick up the dog.
StacyBinnj, although we don't have a dog we do have a bird and have been using the same vet for him for regular visits for years. We'll be using this same vet for the dog down the line. I'm hoping that is helpful.
Based on what you both have said, it sounds like this organization is solid. I'm feeling more optimistic now, especially after hearing how you ended up with your lab, StacyBinnj.
I wonder, do people ever find a dog on Petfinder, submit an application and then actually get to adopt that dog? Or do most people identify the rescue they want to work with, submit an application, and then wait until the rescue pairs them with a dog?

It depends. I think the path to a pet is different for everyone.
I was approved by an Australian Shepherd rescue for a dog that I inquired about. After more thinking, I was the one that decided that it probably wasn't the right match. That dog was described as "exciteable". I think he's an awesome dog but I started to think that he wouldn't be best for my Standard Poodle.
So you HAVE pet ownership history? That's great. You'll just want the rescue's guidance on trying to find a dog with low prey drive. My Labrador could be in a home with birds but my Poodle... no way. The rescue did some extra cat testing for me since they knew I have 8 cats including a couple of handicapped ones. My dog was being fostered at a Doggy Daycare facility. One of the workers took him home one night to test him with his friendly barn cats. After he passed that test, he took him inside to see how he would react around his parrots. Not that I have birds but it was a good indication of his prey drive.
What breed of dog are you looking at adopting?

You stated that you would be driving to get the dog if approved. You might want to be sure that ths rescue does long distance adoptions. A lot of rescues don't adopt more than a few hours drive because of getting the dog if there are problems with the adoption. You might want to check rescues in your immediate area so they can do a home visit. The closer you are to the rescue area the greater the chance of a more rapid adoption process. The rescue I'm with contacts within 24 hours but our director is at home and I only work part time so more of our time is available. Please remember that the foster knows the dog and is much better suited to know whether the dog you pick will fit in your home. Please be patient and good luck with your search for your new family member.

Thanks jessegirl 4 for this thread, I need some first time adopter advice.
After reading this thread
1. 1st time adopters should apply to as many shelter and rescue groups in their area first and don't focus on a certain dog just yet (get approved first)
2. 1st time Adopter should try to visit these place in person because the shelters are short staff and email and phone calls could be delayed.
3. If you see a dog long distance, a 1st time adopter should make sure the shelter accept out of county or state pet adoption and don't forget transportation

LONDON (AP) — Two-time gold medalists Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor beat the Netherlands in straight sets on Saturday night to advance to the quarterfinals of the Olympic beach volleyball tournament. The Americans beat Marleen van Iersel and Sanne Keizer 21-13, 21-12. Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor won gold medals in Athens and Beijing without losing a set. That streak was snapped on Wednesday in the final of the round-robin. In all, the two-time defending champions have won 18 consecutive Olympic matches. Also Saturday, Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal beat Russia in straight sets to keep alive the U.S. hopes of a second consecutive men's gold. Defending Olympic champions Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser were eliminated in the round of 16 by Italy. Earlier Saturday, reigning world champions Emanuel and Alison beat Germany to advance to the quarterfinals. The top-seeded Brazilians beat Jonathan Erdmann and Kay Matysik 21-16, 21-14. Beijing bronze medalists Xue Chen and Zhang Xi of China beat Russians Ekaterina Khomyakova and Evgeniya Ukolova 21-12, 21-11. In other men's matches Saturday, Reinder Nummerdor and Rich Schuil of the Netherlands beat Patrick Heuscher and Jefferson Bellaguarda of Switzerland 22-20, 21-15. Germany's Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann beat Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Ruslans Sorokins of Latvia, 21-12, 21-17. Defending bronze medalists Xue Chen and Zhang Xi of China beat Russians Ekaterina Khomyakova and Evgeniya Ukolova 21-12, 21-11. Marta Menegatti and Greta Cicolari of Italy defeated Liliana Fernandez Steiner and Elsa Baquerizo McMillan of Spain 21-15, 21-15, and Czech team Marketa Slukova and Kristyna Kolocova beat the No. 2 Brazilian team of Maria Antonelli and Talita Rocha 21-16, 20-22, 15-9.

By DeWayne Wickham
Yes. You are reading the title correctly, "Israel Insults the U.S. with Go-It-Alone Tactics!
Mr. Wickham does a bit of magic here. Now Israeli leader, Netanyahu, is isolated into a room by Mr. Obama who has given his ungrateful friend a list of 13 demands and leaves the room to let the Prime Minister think about them.
So we are to believe that Americans should feel insulted when Mr. Netanyahu goes back home alone without capitulating to Israel's bosom, long time friend, Barack Hussein Obama. No one but the dead, Israel's enemies, and the unknowing in the world could expect the Prime Minister to accept his own political suicide. But, America is supposed to be insulted. Well, this certainly is the world of Obama.
Here is how Mr. Wickham explains it:
"The unspoken message that the Obama administration appeared to send Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week is this: Stop behaving like an ungrateful friend.
Ever since Netanyahu's government blindsided Vice President Biden during his recent visit to the Jewish state with an announcement that it will build 1,600 housing units in East Jerusalem, the Obama administration has been smarting.
And for good reason.
Of all the hurdles to an enduring peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, the fate of Jerusalem — which both claim as their capital — is the most daunting. Every time Israel breaks ground on more housing there, the peace lamps flicker.
Reeling from Israel's announcement, the Obama administration urged Netanyahu to rescind the decision. In a phone call, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the prime minister that the new construction was "a deeply negative signal" about Israel's relationship with the United States. The Israeli government "needed to demonstrate not just through words but through specific actions" its commitment to that relationship and the peace process, Clinton said, according to State Department spokesman P. J. Crowley.
But in a speech last week in Washington to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Netanyahu thumbed his nose at these concerns. "Jerusalem is not a settlement; it's our capital," he proclaimed.
Israel's benefactor
The United States is Israel's oldest and closest friend. And since its creation in 1948, Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of American foreign aid. In addition to now receiving nearly $3 billion annually in grants from this country, Israel has gotten billions of dollars worth of loan guarantees since 1972 to help build housing and shore up its economy.
While Israel is forbidden from using any of this money to construct housing in its occupied territory, the largesse frees Israel to use other parts of its budget to fund such projects. Not to mention that without U.S. military assistance, Israel would struggle to fend off its enemies.
A costly commitment
Our support of Israel is costly in non-monetary ways, too.
"The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests" in that part of the world, Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, told the Senate Armed Services Committee this month. "Arab anger over the Palestinian question" hurts this country's relationship with other governments in the region and "weakens the legitimacy" of moderate Arab leaders, he said.
And while unemployment in Israel dropped to 7.4% in the last quarter of 2009, joblessness during that period in the U.S. hovered around 10%.
The investment of treasure, and as Petraeus hinted, perhaps U.S. blood, on behalf of Israel should evoke deep gratitude. Instead, Netanyahu's government takes a go-it-alone approach when it serves Israel's interest — the rest of the world be damned.
The United States is right to champion Israel's right to exist, of course, and to provide an umbrella of protection to help ensure the Jewish state's survival. But the Netanyahu government strains this longstanding friendship when it pursues a course of action that unnecessarily inflames passions in the Arab world and weakens the ability of moderate Arab leaders to talk peace."
Comment: It is good that Mr. Wickham reports that "the United States is right to champion Israel's right to exist"….which is very generous for Obama folks to grant. But, I am insulted that he does not emphasize that it is our American duty to guarantee Israel WILL exist, rather than play adversary with our friends in Jerusalem.
This Obama administration is a government of topsy-turvy without much delightful humor or music. The president pretends the world will be safer without nuclear weapons. He may be that stupid, and would be if his primary interest has been to represent the country in which he has been elected leader. The president pretends Netanyahu can concede Jewish Jerusalem to a Barack Hussein Obama for future negotiations with folks who want to irradicate them.
Is Obama that stupid or is he gaming for an allegiance with the Arab bloc at Israel's expense. I am wondering how the 78% of American Jews who voted for this Obama are going to spin this insult to America?
Obama slurs his own nation and its friends frequently…..while cuddling their enemies.

Porsche enthusiasts drive from Hauppauge to Southampton for Snowflake Rally
For 50 years, Bellmore native Ted Ohland helped to organize the Metro New York Porsche Club of America's Snowflake Rally, which took drivers on a winding, 150-mile journey from Hauppauge to the East End.
But with Ohland's death in 2011, the club was left without an organizer for one of its most popular events.
That's when Seaford couple Don and Barbara Coburn stepped in as "rally masters"...

The Short- and Long-Term Outlook for Stocks
Published: June 02, 2004 in Knowledge@Wharton
Some of these topics will be addressed in Siegel's upcoming book, entitled The Future of Investing, due out in early 2005. It will follow Siegel's best seller, Stocks for the Long Run, published in 1994 and later updated. That book argued that stocks are the most profitable long-term investment – providing a premium that offsets stocks' greater short-term risks relative to bonds and cash. From 1802 through 2003, the broad stock market provided "real" returns – adjusted for inflation – averaging 6.8 percent a year. "On average, you have doubled your purchasing power every decade in the stock market," he said during his talk, adding that while stocks have failed to meet that average over a few long periods, performance has been remarkably consistent.
The downturn that began when the tech-stock bubble burst in 2000 merely returned the market to normal patterns following a period, from 1981 through 1999, of outsized returns – 13.6 percent a year. "We are right on the trend line," he said.
Siegel's new book will attempt to answer a question often asked by readers of the previous one: "Which stocks for the long run?" Researching that question, he studied the performance of the 50 largest U.S. stocks from 1950. While many investors would assume hot, cutting-edge firms of the era, such as IBM, would top the list, Siegel said the best were more prosaic firms, such as Kraft Foods, Standard Oil of New Jersey (which became Exxon-Mobil), and Coca-Cola. All of these today make essentially the same products they did in 1950. "I think the thing that this best shows you is: if you've got a winner, you stay with it," he said. One of the best long-term performers has been Philip Morris, the tobacco company. It returned more than 17 percent a year from 1925 through 2003, compared to just over 9 percent for the Standard & Poor's 500. They key to the company's results was its consistently large dividends – common among top stocks.
Siegel found that new S&P 500 companies generally did not perform as well as older ones. Investor enthusiasm for new offerings often causes those stocks to be priced too high at the start, and long-term performance is undercut when they settle to more rational prices, he said. Long-term investors would thus be wise to build a core holding of proven, dividend-paying companies with established products.
But the value of any holding depends on buyers' demand, and the aging of the U.S. population means there could be more sellers than buyers, which tends to depress stock prices. This would reverse the baby boomer's previous experience: an unusually large group of buyers that drove up demand and helped propel prices upward.

The retirement-funding challenge for the boomer generation will be aggravated by longer life expectancies. In 1950, the average American lived just 1.6 years in retirement. Today the figure is 14.4 years, and it will get longer unless people retire later. There also will be fewer working-age people to support retirees by paying into Social Security and purchasing older people's investments. In 1950, there were seven workers per retiree. Today there are five, and there are likely to be only 2.6 in 2050, Siegel said. Some other developed countries will have it even worse, with Italy projected to have just one worker per retiree by mid-century. "This means that we in the developed world face some very serious questions," Siegel said.
As life expectancy reaches the mid-80s, the retirement age may have to be pushed as high as 72 – not likely to be a popular proposal. "If you ask the average American when he or she wants to retire, the answer is yesterday," Siegel said.
Gains in worker productivity can help offset the reduction in workers per retiree. But even if annual productivity growth rose to a steady 3.5 percent a year, compared to the long-term average of 2.2 percent, this would fund only a couple more years of retirement needs, Siegel said, adding that a sustained 3.5 percent level is very unlikely. Immigration may produce more workers, he added, although it would take hundreds of millions of immigrants to solve the worker-retiree disparity over the next half century.
"But there's hope," he stated, arguing that continued economic growth in developing countries could solve the problem by providing young workers. "Throughout history, the old sell their assets to the young. Centuries ago, it was within a family or a clan. Now it [is between] countries … We will be selling our assets to the developing world."
By mid-century, the developing countries should account for 75 percent of the world's gross domestic product, up from 25 percent today, he predicted. The population of India and China, among the countries with the fastest economic growth, will be eight times that of the U.S. Those huge populations will make the products that the U.S. will stop producing, and consume those that the U.S. will continue to provide. The U.S., said Siegel, should continue to enjoy competitive advantages in health care, education, infrastructure building, financial services and technological innovation.
With growing wealth, the big, young populations of the developing world will be eager to take baby boomers' assets off their hands, helping to avert a collapse in stock prices, he said, noting that in the long run, stocks are likely to provide real returns of about 6 percent, just a shade under the historical average, he said.
Though the price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 is now in the low-20s, compared to a long-term average of about 15, Siegel does not believe stocks are over-priced today. Factors such as greater securities liquidity, tax-law changes and the taming of the business cycle have made stocks less risky, and a P/E of 20 or so should be considered the norm, he said.
If corporate earnings come in as expected, the S&P 500 would be properly valued between 1000 and 1250 at current P/E levels. With the index at about 1100, a move to 1250 by year-end would be a 12 percent gain. "I know there are a lot of uncertainties; there always are in the market," Siegel said. "[But] we don't have to worry about this aging situation."

Student employees serve in a wide variety of positions from intramural referees at soccer games to research assistants in Health Sciences labs. The person who answers the phone when you call a campus department is often a Creighton student. The friendly face you see when approaching a receptionists desk is often a student worker. They escort you to your car when its late at night, watch over your toddler in the Child Care Center, put your library books back on the shelves, sort your mail and monitor the safety cameras in the parking lots. They file your chart when you are seeking treatment in the Dental Clinic or the Medical Center. And dont forget, that personality behind Billy Bluejay is a student worker.

North Park University is committed to full compliance with all laws regarding equal opportunities for students with disabilities. The Office of Student Enrichment Services and Support provides accommodations and other supports to students with disabilities. It is our goal to provide every opportunity for students with disabilities to succeed in our community.
As you begin your transition to North Park University please complete the Preliminary Survey and submit it to the Office of Student Enrichment Services and Support. In addition, students with disabilities that are requesting accommodations and services should submit documentation to the same office. Types of helpful documentation supportive of such requests include medical documentation, psycho-educational testing, and school records. If you don't have access to copies of this type of information, you are welcome to meet with the Student Support Specialist to discuss other ways to demonstrate a connection between your condition and any academic barriers you anticipate or are facing.
Ideally, students should set up an appointment before the beginning of the term to discuss specific accommodations and services with the Student Support Specialist. This is based off of research that finds students who seek services earlier typically perform better than students who postpone seeking services to other semesters.
If you have questions please contact the Student Support Specialist.
