One of the biggest challenges we face with an exhibition like Click! is getting the word out. Click! depends on two types of participation, initial submissions from the artist community and participation from the online community who will evaluate those submissions. Getting to word out to the artist community is critical and that means we've been doing a lot of leg work.
Physical card distribution is still a major method of communication throughout the Brooklyn communities. Many of the local mom-and-pop establishments like cafes and bookstores have a place for card drops and announcements. As you can see, we printed a lot of cards, so we've been working to get them into the neighborhoods. Happily and with the help of many staff who have taken a bunch to their local hangouts, we are now down to two small stacks!
Since this is a photography show, it seemed like a good idea put announcements in all the Brooklyn-based groups on Flickr. Instead of just posting, we wrote the administrators of each group to ask permission to do so. The admins were great about getting back to us and our postings are now in place. For those of you who have never seen the Brooklyn groups on Flickr, there's a great online community there, so spend some time checking it out.
In addition to Flickr, there's a strong blogging community in Brooklyn and we've been sending information their way. To get an idea of how large and active this community is, take a look at the blogroll at The Gowanus Lounge. Also of interest, the Brooklyn blogging community hosts a monthly blogade.
And that's not all. There are many artist collectives in Brooklyn that we've been contacting and, in turn, they've been sending notification e-mails to their lists of artists. In addition, there are photo documentation projects for certain areas and we've been contacting the people running them. Take a look at What's The Hook? and the Coney Island Documentation Project for great examples.
So, this post is a bit of thanks to all those who have helped us get the word out about our open call. If you've sent out e-mails, allowed us to post to your Flickr group, accepted cards, installed our widget, posted to your blog – thank you! We couldn't do this without your help and we are happy to be neighbors!

A: medium orange hue with a fluffy head that settles into some larger bubbles
S: the smell of this is just plain funky... it smells a little like rice pudding, also kind of musty, old and dusty?
T: some hops... some similarities to Bass. Tastes dusty, old, and funky. after a couple sips i start to get more of the juniper and camping smells and taste. Something is just out of whack with this one.
M: feels ok, pretty average in terms of carbonation and smoothness
D: nope, could barely finish one glass.
Note: perhaps this would work better if you used it to cook with or paired it with a meal that would bring out certain flavors. by itself however, not too enjoyable.

look: 3.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Brown bomber with pry-off cap poured in a nonic pint glass.
Hazy, golden yellow in colour. White head is 1/2 inch on the pour and recedes to a thin cap with lots of lacing down the sides.
Aroma is mainly citrus (lemony) and herbal.
Flavour is pretty much the same as the aroma. Citrus, herbal, lemony with hints of malt.
Easy drinking and goes down smooth. Not overly bitter or hoppy. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated.
A really nice pale ale. Not overly complicated but well balanced and smooth. Drinkability is off the scale.

12 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours moderately hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of orange zest, lemon zest, juniper berry, floral, grass, honey, biscuit, cracker, and floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of hop, malt, and juniper berry notes; with solid strength. Taste of orange zest, lemon zest, juniper berry, floral, grass, honey, biscuit, cracker, light pine, and floral earthiness. Slight floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon/orange zest, juniper berry, floral, grass, honey, cracker, biscuit, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and robustness of hop, malt, and juniper berry flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and slightly crisp mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice pale ale. Good balance of hop, malt, and juniper berry flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Had this beer for the first time tonight at a restaurant. This is a solid beer that went really well with my meal.
Poured golden into a standard pint glass. Had a very small white head that didn't last long.
Smells of juniper, honey, malt and slight fruitiness. Nice smell overall.
Taste is really clean and crisp. Upfront, I get a strong juniper flavor followed by honey, floral hops and citrus. Slight bitterness. Very drinkable.
Mouthfeel is light and refreshing. Good carbonation.
I will definitely have this beer again. It's refreshing and I could easily put back several of these. Would like to try this one on draft.

User Review: Starbucks VIA Ready Brew
Price Paid: Gift
I really love coffee, and I especially love the visceral experience of a beautiful place with decent eats when I am out backpacking.
The Via is a reasonable substitute for the Melita/grounds that I have carried for miles. Minimal waste, extreme ease, decent taste, no fuss--for what I miss a little bit in flavor, I will not trade back for the hassle of making coffee again.
I like the Italian roast best. It is not as full and robust as a classically brewed or pressed coffee, but it's very drinkable. I even took it on vacation to my brother's house because I will drink instant Via a 100 times before I want to choke down classic tinned coffee...
All in all, well worth the convenience.
Update: January 15, 2011
Starbucks has released the French Roast--this instant to me is VASTLY better than the other two flavors, neither of which I minded.
The French Roast is a very tasty drink--for ease, convenience, flavor, weight--this blends tops each of the categories!

Not going to predict a record. But an early preview.
Interior Line: Good pass rushers and one gap penatraters, but lack that big space eating run stopper
DE's again solid but not great against the run, but with Breslin and Kennard coming off the edge, USC may be able to boast of having the best pair of pass rushing ends in the nation.Linebackers. We need to find out early, hopefully in spring if Dawson is going to be our man in the middle, otherwise we move Pullard to Mike, and open up the competition at Will. Baily returning at Sam. Overall should be a very solid group, though a bit undersized.
Secondary. Robey coming back will be key, then we need to find another corner to step up. Not concerned about the safeties. Would still consider the secondary as a question mark at this time.
Offense. yes we lose Barkley, but I think our offense will be better in 2013. Kiffin will not be able to rely on throwing the ball around as much, and we should be better for it. Best pair of TE's and best group of receivers in the nation. Offensive line should be improved.

You think Williams moves outside next year?
I like Ruffin and Prevot as situational pass-rushers at Will, with Townsend working in more to stop the run.
Think Dawson will improve with a more attack based scheme that doesn't drop him way back into coverage.
Our D-Line will be pretty damn deep next year.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls
If they gave out Sixth Man of the Year awards at Seattle's Rainier Beach High School back in the day, it is a given that Jamal Crawford would have grabbed every single one. But instead he was busy starting, winning a state championship in 1998 and eventually having his jersey retired.
Ah, those were the days. Yet for Crawford, those days in Seattle suddenly come back to mind now that he is playing for the Los Angeles Clippers and making an early season case to claim his second NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award.
I haven't felt this comfortable since high school. I feel like I have a home. I want to be here as long as they want me here," Crawford said after the Clippers beat the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night, 103-90.
Yes, those Portland Trail Blazers. The same Rip City where Crawford called home last season in a brutal year that saw Crawford shoot a career-low 30 percent from 3-point and average 13.9 points per game -- his lowest scoring total sin...

Pace of Play: Coaches' Thoughts
Zach Babo - 8/1/2012
In building our August issue's main editorial feature, "Has the Game Stalled," I tried to gather input from as many coaches and analysts as possible in the hopes of finding some solid evidence to support the hotly debated thesis that the game has or hasn't stalled.
While I had many fascinating conversations, and I was presented a multitude of interesting facts, stats and anecdotes, finding definitive evidence or even consensus was daunting. Though I feel the eventual article that ran in the issue does a good job reflecting the many facets of this debate, I could have likely filled an entire magazine with just excerpts from my research.
So in lieu of such a rambling proposition, I've instead cut together some clips of coaching interviews my colleagues Terry Foy and Joe Sweeney conducted with more than 20 of the top coaches in the game when they attended the 2011 Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association conference held in Baltimore last December.
These videos are made of just clips and excerpts from those conversations. Much like my eventual article that could have been much longer and more rambling, these videos could have been 30-45 minutes easily, but instead I tried to boil them down to the most pertinent and interesting aspects of what coaches said.
In the end, the Pace of Play discussion remains an active and engaging one in the lacrosse community. With potential rules changes coming out of the NCAA Rules Committee meetings held this month, the fervor will surely continue as all involved with the collegiate game eagerly await to see the effect and experimentation these tweaks will have on Fall Ball and the subsequent spring season.

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe
December 26th, 2013Recipes, American Recipes, Recipes, Baking Recipes, Recipes141 CommentsThis recipe was originally published on May 7, 2007. Updated with new photos. This Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits recipe has been pinned 83,000 times! With the recent news that Red Lobster might be closing its door forever, I thought many people would love to have the recipe. The Red Lobster biscuit mix is also available at Sam's Club and Walmart now. Enjoy!
Truth be told, I am a food snob.
I shun away from chain restaurants—Cheesecake Factory, nah; The Olive Garden, meh; Denny's, are you kidding me?! So, you have it, I am a food snob.
I avoid going to franchise or chain restaurants at all cost, well, unless I am starving or stuck in the middle of nowhere and the only restaurant in town is Applebee's. Somehow, the notion of a huge restaurant empire scares me. I am afraid they are going to take over the world and infest the dining scenes with the likes of Planet Hollywood (are they still in business?) and Rainforest Cafe. I yearn for pure culinary originality and I champion epicurean creativity. Dining out is one of the most enjoyable and best things in the world, so a restaurant should be unique, possesses lots of character, and has its own identity (no cookie-cutter decor and menu, please!).
However, I have to admit that there is an exception. I go to Red Lobster, occasionally. As a seafood connoisseur, you must think that I go there for seafood, but no, I go there for the sole reason of stuffing myself silly with their biscuits.
Yep, you heard it right—those fluffy-cheesy-buttery-garlicky-fresh-off-the-oven world famous Red Lobster biscuits. (Red Lobster serves almost 1.1 million of their Cheddar Bay Biscuits every day.) You have the statistics, they are spectacular!
Wait a minute, didn't I just proclaim that I don't do chain restaurants? I can't lose my integrity, but I am nuts for Red Lobster biscuits. What to do? What to do?
I made them, well, after hours of Googling for the secret and copycat recipe of Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits on the internet.
I don't think I got the real "secret" recipe for Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits, but they were pretty darn good. In fact, they were about 85% close to the original in terms of taste and texture. That's very good for a knock-off.

I had not heard the news about Red Lobster and hope it is not true. I feel the same way about their biscuits as you. I talked to a server about them once. Someone makes a mix exclusively for Red Lobster. If they run out of mix they use Bisquick! I wonder if their regular mix has transfat. I also love their Caesar salad.
118Would love to try this recipe but may I know what is this bisquick biscuit mix? What is the next best to replace this if I couldnt get this in Malaysia.Thanks.
119IBisquick is kind of a premade mix, but i found a substitute for it: just mix 1 cup flour, 1½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp oil or melted butter into a mixing bowl.
Bisquick Substitute:
http://www.food.com/recipe/bisquick-substitute-small-portion-381055120The biscuits have the right flavor but are too 'heavy'…not lightweight and airy like Red Lobsters. My husband thinks that whipping up that gluten or whatever may cause this but is still puzzled. Don't know how to make the biscuit airy and light like RL does.
124In order to get a good, fluffy texture that is very similar to Red Lobster's, you need to mix the dough by hand, and instead of melting the butter, you should cut it in with a pastry cutter or a couple forks, whichever you have on hand. It's pretty messy, but the results are fabulous. I Hope this helps :)!
129Try using Pioneer Biscuit mix instead of Bisquick. They will produce a more fluffier biscuit.
130The instructions state to beat the dough which causes toughness. Mix thoroughly but gently with a fork, then drop by tablespoonful onto cold baking sheet, ungreased. handle the dough as if you were making scones.
#1. They are called Cheddar BAY biscuits because of the cheddar cheese and the OLD BAY seafood seasoning included in them. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seafood seasoning to them.
#2. They are lighter and fluffier in the restaurant because they are greasier. They add the equivalent of 1/2 oil/real butter to the mixture (for the size of this recipe)
Just add the old bay and throw in a stick of butter and there you will have it! Of course they are really fattening with the butter, lol
125Maybe it's just me, but I always feel that anything made with Bisquick tastes like, well, Bisquick. I found that using a basic scratch buttermilk drop biscuit recipe, and adding 1tsp of Old Bay and a cup of cheese comes pretty close to Red Lobster. They're also fluffier. Probably less healthy, but that's not the point :)
127Instead of Bisquick try Pioneer Baking Mix. They create a fluffier biscuit and don't have the "bisquick taste".
131I don't mind making them from scratch, but I will definitely check out Pioneer baking mix for those times that I need a mix. It would be great to find something that tastes better. Thanks!
I realize you are most likely a very good, experienced cook and baker, but I have to give you a tip for this recipe. The reason (most likely)the texture of your biscuits is not quite right is that you are mixing them with an electric mixer (which is what I assume you mean by "beat vigorously for thirty seconds). In order to get a good, fluffy texture that is very similar to Red Lobster's, you need to mix the dough by hand, and instead of melting the butter, you should cut it in with a pastry cutter or a couple forks, whichever you have on hand. It's pretty messy, but the results are fabulous. Oh, and to get a more similar flavor, use MUCH more garlic powder than you have in that recipe. I hope that helps! I also hope I didn't come off as insulting or conceded, I just wanted to give you a few tips from one cook to another :)
128Thanks lots for the receipe. I am a novice at baking and this recipe is a good starter for me :)
I have made some changes on my own:
- Used 1 cup full cream milk (2/3 cups is quite dry for mine.)
> Would evaporated milk makes it denser?
- Added 1/4 cup cashew bits :P
- Mix with hand into dough (I find this easier.)
- Leave the dough to stand for 15 mins (I find that this makes the texture more chewy).Happy Lunar New Year in advance :)
139People in the comments say to cut the butter in or do other things with the butter, but the butter doesn't go in the batter, it goes on top of the biscuits after they are baked!

National Geographic Builds House From 'Up', Launches Into The Wild-Blue Yonder
You know that movie 'Up' by Pixar? The one about the crotchety old man and chubby boyscout? Yeah, I haven't actually seen it (somebody said it'd be too sad for me AND I'M DELICATE LIKE EXPLOSIVE GEL). Well, to promote their upcoming television series 'How Hard Can It Be?', National Geographic built a functional replica of the 'Up' house to -- get this -- see how hard it could be. SOFT LOOKS PRETTY SOFT.
...March 5 at dawn, National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 300 8' colored weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour.
The filming of the event, from a private airstrip, will be part of a new National Geographic Channel series called How Hard Can it Be?, which will premiere in fall 2011.
MYTHBUSTERS KNOCKOFF. And it only took eight years to come up with the idea! Smooth, National Geographic executives. And by smooth I mean rough, like wiping your ass with a handful of sand and gravel. That said, I'll still watch it. And not just because I can only stand so much ginger facial hair and berets, but...actually that is mostly why. Plus it's hard making room on my DVR with so much Real Housewives and Jersey Shore.
Hit the jump for several more pictures and a video news report of the I believe I can fly in action.

Thanks to Camille, who once attached helium balloon to a dollhouse with disastrous results (it headed straight for a ceiling fan -- there were no survivors).
This is a super-simple scene from Pixar's 'Up' created in LEGO by Peter Aoun. Now how cute is that? I just wanna eat all those lil balloons like candy! *crunch* Mmmmm, even better than I could've imagined! Here, you try a cloud. But wait, let's turn out the lights first --... / Continue →

I've never seen 'Up'. I heard it was depressing in the beginning and I have a problem watching depressing stuff because I get down easily. Then stay there. Truthfully, I've never been able to pick myself back up after watching Atreyu lose Artax to the Swamp of Sadness in 'Th... / Continue →

Now that the SOPA and PIPA fights have died down, and Hollywood prepares their next salvo against internet freedom with ACTA and PCIP, it's worth pausing to consider how the war on piracy could actually be won.
It can't, is the short answer, and one these companies do not want to hear as they put their fingers in their ears and start yelling. As technology continues to evolve, the battle between pirates and copyright holders is going to escalate, and pirates are always, always going to be one step ahead. To be clear, this is in no way meant to be a "pro-piracy" piece, it is merely attempting to show the inescapable realities of piracy that media companies refuse to acknowledge.
What's clear is that legislation is not the answer. Piracy is already illegal in the US, and most places around the world, yet it persists underground, but more often in plain sight. Short of passing a law that allows the actual blacklisting of websites like China and Iran, there is no legislative solution. That's what SOPA and PIPA were attempting to do, but it so obviously trampled on the First Amendment, it was laughed out of existence as the entire internet protested it. The only other thing you could get the internet to agree on was if they tried to institute a ban on cat pictures.
So, what to do? Go the other direction. Realize piracy is a service problem. Right now, from the browser window in which I'm writing this article, it is possible to download and start watching a movie for free in a few swift clicks.
(This is all purely theoretical of course)
1. Move mouse to click on Pirate Bay bookmark
2. Type in "The Hangover 2″ (awful movie, but a new release for the sake of the example)
3. Click on result with highest seeds
4. Click download torrent
5. Auto open uTorrent
6. Wait ten minutes to download
7. Play movie, own it forever
You can compete with free by providing better service. Your argument is invalid because Steam exists.
With Steam, you have all your games tied to your account with your saves being synchronized. And games install just with three clicks, instead of usual installation process. This is way more convenient than pirating and you can't have that without Steam no matter what you do.
So movie industry just needs to make a service that makes downloading movies simpler than pirating them and has services that are unavailable to pirates. This is the only way to go in any case. If they don't do this, they can only depend on movie ticket sales because almost no one will buy physical copies in future.
At worst it's a point of disagreement. The "scarcity power" that you refer to is something that exists artificially, not naturally. It exists as a result of the choice of the people to grant it to copyright holders. The people also have the power to take it away.
One way to take it away is to form a political movement to eliminate it. That would be the Pirate Party. Another way is to simply take it away by copying movies without permission.
The thrust of the author's article is not contradicted by your argument, because you are agreeing with him—you're just disagreeing with a detail of how he expressed his point. He agrees with you that something is taken away from copyright holders when a movie is copied without permission. His point is that what is taken away is not a copy of the movie, but rather some bargaining power that copyright holders imagine they have, but that they do not in fact have.
[I know this is an old article]
You're correct about scarcity power, but the only company that uses it to any relevance is Disney when they exercise their Disney Vault powers. Otherwise, it's normally just a factor of poor distribution for why a movie is hard to find.
As for the remainder of the article, I find it to be spot on.
I disagree, Scarcity power is an outdated concept that no longer applies to products of the digital age. Movies are now digital products, just like software or Mp3s. When companies like Netflix and Amazon allow streaming of films they are providing "unlimited" copies of product to customers. Despite is name, streaming is a form of copying, the copy is simply deleted from the end-user's computer after they complete the viewing. When a product is converted into digital computer code it's no longer "tangible" and scarcity goes out the window. This is not the fault of pirates, this is the gradual evolution of technology, and the entertainment industry needs to catch up.
Hence the "You Will Never Kill Piracy", but what it would do is promote a healthy relation with the consumers, leading them to buy more and/or promote their products (small help, but better than it is right now). Antagonizing them will not help at all. And you can beat free by supporting a good relation with the costumer. I still send letters by the post office when I could do it for free on-line.
No one is saying it doesn't alter market value, but it's not a 1 to 1 money loss like the studios claim.
iTunes has proven you wrong on that count. Millions of people are happily paying to download music when they could easily download it free. Most people prefer to be legal. The distribution difference currently is massive, if there is only -1 steps then people will go the legal route.
Actually I think his "win" method is brilliant. I'm a gamer, and could (and in fact have) easily download practically any PC game I want in a few steps. Instead, I've purchased the majority of the PC games I've played through Steam. The number of steps is not the only factor at play here. It's SATISFYING to load Steam, see a list of games I own (or at least own the usage rights to), and know that as long as Steam's servers continue to exist, I can download those games no matter where I am, so long as I have a Windows PC and an internet connection.
Besides, I don't see you offering an alternative.
More evidence that content is overpriced is that (1) Google, (2) NetFlix, and (3) Hulu are all funding their own original content creation to meet demand from users. All three have tried to meet this demand by purchasing more content from the incumbent Big Media companies, but have not been able to reach deals to meet the full demand. Instead, all three internet companies are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to produce their own original content, knowing full well that most of this content will probably flop. But they take the risk anyway because they want to meet customer demand. This indicates that the demands of the incumbent Big Media companies are orders of magnitude too high. Big Media will lose out as other creators take their place.
"There's always the crowd that circles around me when I bring this up to say "but people will always want physical media," but there is just no possible way this is the case in 20, 10 or even maybe even five more years."
Yes, there is.
Trick is, it'll have to be something worth having. The days of sticking a piece of cheap plastic into an equally cheap plastic container, and then charging a ridiculous sum of money for it, are coming to a close. The entertainment industries need to accept that.
With music, I still buy physical media. However, it's now a very rare occurrence, and it's always something particular, something special. It's also often a package of merchandise, not just a CD in a flimsy jewel case.
That's what I see becoming common practice down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: My 955-series or 975-series server has no POST or video. Are there some steps I can take to find out what is wrong?A: No POST or no video is a situation in which the server appears to power up. However, nothing is displayed on the monitor and the normal power on self test (POST) completion beep is not evident. When troubleshooting a no POST and no video condition, begin by examining the servers external configuration and external components before moving to the internal components. Try removing any newly connected external or internal devices as a first step. If a new device has been added to the server, chances are very high that this new device is causing the difficulty. Disconnect the newly connected device first, and then test the server before making any other changes. An external peripheral device can sometimes cause a no POST or no video situation. When troubleshooting the server with a POST or video issue, simplify the external configuration to include the video cable, power cable, mouse, and keyboard only. Remove any keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch boxes. Connect the video, mouse, and keyboard cables directly to the server. If the server still has no video or does not complete POST with the external configuration simplified in such a manner, attempt to power on the server without the keyboard and mouse connected (only power and video connected). Try clearing the NVRAM. Open the server case and clear the NVRAM using the CLR\CMOS jumper located along the left side of the motherboard. Move the jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 and power the server on. After clearing the CMOS, power down the server and place the jumper back to pins 1 and 2, the default position. If clearing the NVRAM does not resolve the situation, continue troubleshooting by reseating the power supply connector on the motherboard and the front panel (power switch) to backplane cable. If the no POST and no video situation persists, simplify the internal configuration of the server by removing any PCI cards. Also, disconnect the hard drives from their power source, reseat the power connectors to the backplane but do not remove the power from the backplane*, reseat the gold tape cable for the combination CDROM/floppy drive*, and remove SCSI cables from the motherboard connections. If the server is still unable to produce video or complete POST, reseat the processors and memory cards. You can also attempt to power the server on without the memory cards and only the processor nearest to the memory slots present. While the server is in a simplified internal state, attempt to clear the NVRAM again. As a final step, remove the battery from the motherboard, wait 15 minutes, and then place the battery back into the server and attempt to power on the server again.
* The power switch assembly requires communication through the backplane to power up the server.

Stocks suffer worst weekly loss in 5 months
The major averages see small gains but fall for the week as sparring begins between the White House and House Speaker Boehner on fixing the fiscal cliff. Apple rallies after three big losses. Disney sags. Kayak jumps after merger with Priceline.com.
After two nasty days of declines, the stock market struggled to finish ahead today. It succeeded with very small gains, but the major averages still had their worst weekly performance in five months.
If you want to thank someone for at least halting the losses this week, thank consumers, who are more confident about the economy. Thank Apple (AAPL), which rallied today after three straight declines.
Thank Priceline.com (PCLN), which is buying Kayak Software (KYAK), operator of the Kayak travel site, for some $1.8 billion. Kayak shares were up $8.63 to $39.67.
The wild card for the market today has been Washington and the fiscal cliff -- the mixture of government spending cuts and tax hikes set to take effect Jan. 1. Remarks today by President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner suggested there remain big differences in approach. Big enough, in fact, the Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) briefly fell into the red after Obama said a solution to the fiscal cliff had to be balanced -- some tax increases and spending cuts. Boehner opposes any tax increases.
The Dow ultimately finished with a 4-point gain to 12,815. The blue chips had been up as many as 79 points and down as many as 26 after Obama's remarks. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) gained 2 points to 1,380, and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) gained 9 points to 2,905.
Article continues below.
The Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX) rose 12 points to 2,584. Apple, which represents about 17% of the market capitalization of the index, rose $9.31 to $547.06. The shares had been as high as $554.88 after falling more than 8% in the past three days.
The Dow's gain would have been more than 20 points higher if Walt Disney (DIS) were flat today. But the entertainment giant's fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings and outlook disappointed Wall Street, and the shares were down $2.98 to $47.06.
Despite today's gains, the Dow and the S&P 500 suffered their third straight weekly losses and fourth in the last five. The Nasdaq had its fifth weekly loss in a row and seventh in the last eight weeks.
The Dow fell 2.1% for the week, while the S&P 500 was off 2.4%, their worst weekly performances since the end of May. The Nasdaq's 2.6% loss was its worst since the week of Oct. 8.
Those losses were modest compared with the 3.2% loss suffered by Japan's Nikkei 225 Index ($JP:N225) or the 2.7% decline for Germany's Dax Index ($DE:DAX).
But the week still left the Dow S&P 500 and Nasdaq below their 200-day moving averages, a bearish sign for markets. But the market is oversold by other measures, with a bounceback rally at the very least due in the near future.
The big risks, of course, are the fiscal cliff and what happens in Europe.

Consumers are feeling better
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary index of consumer sentiment for November increased to 84.9 from 82.6 the prior month. Economists had expected a reading of around 83.
The gains were due to lower gasoline prices and an improvement in both housing and labor markets, according to Capital Research, an economic consulting firm.
Capital Research economist Amna Asaf was skeptical the gains in the index would translate into more consumer spendiing. The fiscal cliff will get lots of news play and may weigh on markets.

A busy week ahead
The fiscal cliff will dominate headlines next week as will changes in China's leadership and events in Europe.
But the week will feature reports on producer and consumer price inflation on Wednesday and Thursday and important reports on manufacturing in New York and the mid-Atlantic states, also on Thursday.
Plus, the Federal Reserve releases minutes of its October meeting on Wednesday.
It's a big week for earnings, including:
- Monday: D.R. Horton (DHI) and Jacobs Engineering (JEC).
- Tuesday: Home Depot (HD), Cisco Systems (CSCO), Michael Kors (KORS) and Saks (SKS).
- Wednesday: Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) and Staples (SPLS).
- Thursday: Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), Ross Stores (ROST), Viacom (VIA) and Gap (GPS).
- Friday: Ann (ANN), Foot Locker (FL) and J.M. Smucker (SJM)
The bad news for J.C. Penney (JCP) keeps getting worse. The struggling department-store chain reported today a wider third-quarter loss than Wall Street expected on a nearly 27% sales drop.
Shares fell $1.05 to $20.64 and are off 52% from their 2012 high, reached on Feb. 9.
Today's was the third consecutive quarter losses and sales declines as customers continue to show that they're unhappy with Penney's decision this year to ditch hundreds of coupons and annual sales in favor of everyday low pricing.
The poor results underscore the challenges facing Penney CEO Ron Johnson, the former Apple executive brought in a year ago to turn the company around. Since then Johnson, who masterminded Apple's popular retail stores, has been working to change everything at Penney's, from its stores to its merchandise.
The problem is it will takes years to get it all changed, and the big question is whether its board of directors will wait long enough for the changes to work.
Late today, Standard & Poor's cut the company's credit ratiing to B- from B+. That's deeper into junk territory.
A broad rally fadesAt one point, all of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 rose today. That list dropped to six at the close. The leaders were technology, health care and industrial stocks. The laggards were utility, consumer discretionary, materials and energy shares.
Boeing (BA), Caterpillar (CAT) and IBM (IBM) contributed nearly 30 points to the Dow by themselves. Twenty of the 30 Dow stocks were higher.
Meanwhile, 271 S&P 500 stocks were higher, along with 52 Nasdaq-100 stocks.
International Game Technology (IGT), medical-device maker Covidien (COV) and Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) were the S&P 500 leaders. Disney, J.C. Penney and Microchip Technology (MCHP) were the laggards.
Research In Motion (RIMM) was the Nasdaq-100 leader, followed by Sirius XM Radio (SIRI). The laggards were Microchip Technology and Nvidia (NVDA).
Separately, Groupon (GRPN) was down $1.16 to $2.76. The online deals service posted third-quarter results that showed slowing revenue growth and a decline of its core business.
But Zipcar (ZIP) was up 96 cents to $7. The car-sharing company posted strong third-quarter results and is still on track to report its first annual profit in 2012.
Oil and gold rise
Crude oil (-CL) in New York settled up 98 cents to $86.07 a barrel. Brent crude in London, the bigger determinant in gasoline prices, had risen $1.99 to $109.24 a barrel.
The national average retail price of gasoline was at $3.456 a gallon, down from Thursday's $3.464.
Gold (-GC) had settled up $4.90 to $1,732.70 an ounce. For the week, gold was up 3.3%, its third-largest weekly gain of the year after the weeks of Jan. 23 and May 28.

Let's see the tax cuts to the wealthy have not encouraged investment or spending; Or what has seemed to happen in previous Recessions?...Pretty much same with Corporations ??
Hoarding,hiding and evading on much they have.. Don't want that lower 50% getting any of it, even if it's in hard earned wages..
So you are left with taxing them to jump start the economy....They come out of the woodwork with investments and spending FOR the write-offs....And slowly the cycle starts to clear itself; Demand is slow at first, but picks up steam, with livable wage earners spending to make their lives better.
The ones that threaten the American way of life are better off gone...We definitely need them, but not "to be our Masters"...And I hope their kind disappears, as I'm sure they will.
The only accomplishment of their's, the last 3-5 years is buying up the Competition.
Which eventually only serves the purpose of inflationary increases. In the not so distant future.
The next 4 years will be slightly different from the last 4 because the Republicans blew it last summer.
All the President has to do now is make damn sure that the Republicans are on the record against tax increases and then he can let the Bush tax cuts expire and spending cuts occur on Jan 1 2013 with the peace offering of reinstating tax cuts for the middle class if the spending cuts are renegotiated. The Republicans can't hold out for reinstating all the tax cuts or they'll being shooting themselves in the butt
Next the President can offer to modify Medicare and Social Security eligibility by increasing age by 1 year over the next 12 years for people under 55 years of age. Finally, we'll be out of Middel East wars by 2014 and hell will freeze over or 2016 will occur before we get into another one.
Get ready to pay increased taxes on capital gains and dividends and be out of the market by 2014 when the Republicans take over and interest rates start to go way up.
Long live Mitt the Cockroach, Paul the Apostle and Karl the Joker.
CNS news? Penny Starr?
Is this some kind of a joke?
Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel, eh Brutus?
The Media Research Center pursues conservative advocacy through a number of outlets whose ostensible goals are not activist in nature. One of those is CNSNews.com, home to the Cybercast News Service—formerly the Conservative News Service—a Web-based newsroom of about a dozen reporters, aggregators, and content producers"
Again Untrue! If you have digested any of my prior posts, you would be able to determine a few key points that I reiterate in order to try to educate the public.
One: Free markets are exemplified by the Gilded Age, or the Roaring Twenties or the last 30 years under Republican Regimes, during which the governmental role was diminished. Legislation, if written, was ignored. Regulations, if entered, were dismissed. Enforcement , if at all, was pre-determined to be held at a "Lax" level, i.e. SEC being preoccupied with porn instead of Madoff, et al. Do you agree with this position?
Two: I have never advocated for BIG GOV. Quite contrary, like you Lib(tard)arians, I am of the opinion -founded on empirical evidence and tons of history- that larger governments are indeed capable of terminating our essential freedoms and subjugating humans beneath the wheel of corporate enterprise. Likewise, I perceive (where apparently you cannot) the flaws inherent to a government too small and weak to dominate against the corporate empires.
Government just large enough to retain power over the private sector coming to dominate our lives is what I want. Government that is neither too large and overbearing nor too little to be an effective arbiter of our needs and liberties, but that is "right sized" is what I want. Government that does not function merely as a rubber stamp for business agendas and activities is what I want. Dont You? You should.
Three: Crony capitalism is favored by both sides, but the Republicans have made it over into
"high art" or even a "perfect science". All my experience and academic investigation into political history has shown that the Dems (while also picking losers and winners) have seen fit to entertain the reality that more than just the upper crust have to benefit from the system. Where your side savors victory of the bourgeoisie making profits at the expense of labor, the more enlightened approach of the Dems have factored in the 'rising tides' theory and forced it into practice to the benefit of the many. Is this a "bad thing" ?
I understand your (and Brutus') convictions and fears very well. However, as I told Brutus (over and over) what we have is what we have. Wholesale deconstruction of the federal apparatus is not about to happen, but piecemeal approaches to reform can be afforded where possible, and would exemplify the more 'conservative' option, rather than 'tearing down the machine' altogether. It makes for the more sensible solution.
In a nutshell, if people were completely stupid, then we should have a government which dictates everything for us to say, do, buy and etc. But they are not. We have been blessed with innate qualities such as reason and intuition, both of which can be honed by education and experience. We ARE the Government. We can alter that which is 'wrong' (does not function) and fashion better capability from it. It is not a simple matter (no matter how fervent your desires) that a government should be downsized to a few molecules, but the larger question will always remain: What kind of government operates best to eliminate (insofar as it practicable) the inequities between individuals with regard to opportunity, and between individuals and the
corporate aggregates who truly threaten freedom ?
Top Stock, entitled..."
Great commentaries as well.
One popular theory for why the economy is set to improve: Companies hoarded money during the financial crisis and now sit on record piles of cash. The Fed says nonfinancial companies hold about $1.7 trillion in cash and other liquid assets.
Companies have cut back spending on machinery, tools, software and other so-called capital goods, resulting in the slowest growth in "capital stock" in nearly 50 years, notes Michelle Meyer, the U.S. economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
"The positive story is that once the fiscal cliff is resolved, even if it's a messy process, some of the uncertainty hanging over businesses will be removed," she says.
Pent-up demand from corporations could turn into spending in the spring and pick up through next year."
NOT IF, but WHEN....It is bound to occur. Either organic growth in some sectors catalyzes other sectors, or tax policy threatens the cash hoard, or politicians finally get their act together under duress from public criticisms. It is Bound to Happen.
Questions remain regarding the threat of taxation becoming burdensome on business. The article responds....
" The traditional thinking is that a Democratic president equals higher taxes for businesses. But financial analysts at UBS aren't so sure. In a report before the election, they predicted that the corporate tax rate would drop under Obama or Romney.
And anyway, says Carol Pepper, CEO of the wealth management firm Pepper International in New York, companies aren't going to stop growing just because they're faced with higher taxes.
"That," she says, "is cutting off your nose to spite your face."
Also, for more than three years, companies in the S&P 500 have improved earnings every quarter compared with the year before, according to market research company S&P Capital IQ.
Often, their growth has defied expectations. At the beginning of October, analysts were predicting that third-quarter corporate profits would fall nearly 2 percent compared with a year ago.
With about 90 percent of the companies in the S&P 500 turning in results, they're expected to be up more than 2 percent. And higher earnings generally send a company's stock higher."
and then.........
Fears of the 'fiscal cliff'...from the MSN Money page.
But lawmakers almost certainly will work out a deal — perhaps messily, unsatisfyingly and with lots of theatrics, but a deal nonetheless. But what happens after that, and to the market in Obama's second term?
Home prices are rising again in many parts of the country. Job growth is much faster than it was last spring. Consumer confidence is up. So is retail spending. And so is the stock market, last week's jitters notwithstanding.
...and this....
Still, if companies managed to grow profits during a slow economic recovery, they should have no trouble doing it if the economy really picks up.
This is the key. These are trying times, yet our economic engine is not bogging down nor is it stuck in neutral. Even minute bits of growth are enough to encourage optimism.
Unless you are Brutus or Mirage Guy and have an agenda to destroy America.
(Ha ha..)
Now I am sure they appreciate your intense lobbying on their behalf, but I repeat - If you are not of the 1 or 2 percent, you have no business 'going there'. Taxing larger businesses to fund the debt paydown would be a small start, and in concert with the economic justice of re-adjusting the tax rates of the middle class as well.
So no...its a revenue AND its and expenditure problem, as Bush cut those rates to benefit the wealthy backers disproportionately, but left the rest of us to close the gap.
"The Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday that the federal budget deficit in fiscal 2012 (which ended on Sept. 30) topped a trillion dollars for the fourth straight year even though federal taxes paid by individuals increased by 4 percent during the year and federal income taxes paid by corporations increased by about 34 percent."
"When calculated as a share of GDP, the last four fiscal years have seen the four highest deficits since the end of World War II in fiscal 1946."
We're way beyond "small doses". This comes from article written 2 days ago by Penny Starr:
"(CNSNews.com) – It's Friday morning, and so far today, the Obama administration has posted 165 new regulations and notifications on its r e g u l a t i o n s dot g o v website.
In the past 90 days, it has posted 6,125 regulations and notices – an average of 68 a day.
The website allows visitors to find and comment on proposed regulations and related documents published by the U.S. federal government."Twit quote: "a Free Thinking,Socially Liberal, Fiscally conservative Democrat.."
Mixing terms like "Free Thinking" and "Fiscally conservative" with the term "democrat", is just too contradictory! Trillion dollar deficits and credit rating downgrades are not fiscally conservative, unless you are redefining words along with your rewrites of history!
"(Republican Senator Lindsey) Graham also warned that no Republican will vote for higher tax rates, and that reform of entitlement programs - such as the Social Security retirement program, the Medicare health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, and the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor - must also be tackled."
Remember who is promoting cuts to SS and Medicare. It's not the Dems my friends.

To illustrate the fact that Alzheimer's is a bi-partisan issue, Harry Johns started today's lunch session by asking the Democrats in the room to applaud. He then asked Republicans to applaud. It became evident pretty quickly to everyone in the room, that the number of advocates from each party was fairly even.
He then invited former Kansas Congressman Dennis Moore back up to the stage to introduce the next speaker. Dennis, who spoke at last night's Rally to Remember, represented Kansas' Third Congressional District from 1999 to 2011.
"A few months ago, I was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's," he said. "It's something I didn't want to hear but (my wife) Stephanie and I wanted to turn it around into something positive." With that, he introduced former Kansas Governor, friend and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.

- Citing Jim Chanos as the source of the idea, Jim Grant says he's "confidently bearish" on high-flyer and hedge fund favorite Valeant Pharma (VRX -4.5%) and its strategy of growth by M&A. The bull case, says Grant, boils down to "good things to happen" to the companies Valeant buys, but "we don't see the data to support that contention."
- Among other things, Grant notes just 2.7% of sales is spent on R&D vs. 13.8% for the industry as a whole.

Thursday, Feb 277:21 AM
- Valeant Pharma (VRX) swings to a net profit of $123.8M from a loss of $89.1M a year earlier, with earnings boosted by the acquisition of Bausch + Lomb.
- The latest results include charges of $128M mainly related to the acquisition of Bausch + Lomb.
- Same-store organic product sales +6%.
- Valeant reaffirms 2014 guidance for EPS of $8.25-8.75 - not including the acquisition of PreCision Dermatology - revenue of $8.2-8.6B, and adjusted cash flow from operations of $2.4-2.6B.
- Valeant expects to raise its outlook once it has closed the PreCision deal. (PR)

- Valeant (VRX), Actavis (ACT) and Mylan (MYL) are reportedly interested in acquiring Pfizer's (PFE) branded generics business, which generated sales of $7B in the first nine months of 2013.
- However, while Pfizer said last year it could eventually sell the operations, it is not yet ready to do a deal.
- Another problem is that the unit is much larger than any of the three potential suitors. Pfizer could also receive a big tax bill from selling the business.

- Morgan Stanley upgrades Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX +1.9%) to Overweight from Equalweight.
- "Only 10% of pro forma 2013 estimated revenue is subject to patent cliffs and no more than 3% of revenue is at risk to generics annually in 2014-2017 estimates," analyst Christopher Caponetti says, adding that VRX is "one of the best positioned specialty pharmaceutical companies to capitalize on industry consolidation." Price target is $145.
- Also bullish is Aegis, where analyst Raghuram Selvaraju lifts the price target on the shares to $160 from $140, noting management's ambitious plan to "ascend to the ranks of the top five pharmaceutical firms in the world by the end of 2016."

Tuesday, Jan 71:12 PM
- Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX +11.2%) is surging after this morning's financial guidance conference call.
- The company's financial forecast was in-line with estimates but investors seem pleased with some of the commentary on the call, including CEO Michael Pearson's contention that the company is aiming to become one of the top five pharmaceutical companies on the planet (by market cap) in the next two years.
- "Unless you aim high, you don't achieve high," Pearson is quoted as saying, and although he added that he "can't say at this time" exactly how VRX will reach the lofty goal, the implication is that acquisitions will be the catalyst.
- Here's BMO's Alex Arfaei: "VRX has plenty of options and doesn't necessarily need to do a large deal [as] each acquisition improves [their] geographic and therapeutic infrastructure."
- Importantly: VRX says it will "continue to pursue a merger of equals" going forward. (presentation, slide 12)

- Expects growth across all its business units.

In Europe, 76 destinations off the beaten path
Looking beyond Rome, Paris or London? Consider Europe's lesser-known destinations, such as Monschau, Germany, a town so quaint you can hardly believe it isn't a theme park or San Marino, one of Europe's oldest and smallest countries (drive through it slowly).

Ardennes, Belgium( Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times )
The Ardennes is an amorphous region of southeastern Belgium, Luxembourg and France. The name which comes from the Gaulish word arduenna, goddess of hunting denotes a forest and weathered massifs lined by rocky cliffs. I doubt many Americans could pinpoint it on a map.
The confusion is understandable because the Ardennes is in the geographically confusing, culturally blended heart of the Continent. The region, contested in the 1944 Battle of the Bulge, was a German portal to the west in both World Wars. Its language and wines are French; its taste for robust meat and potatoes German; its modest, gray stone villages with bulb-shaped church steeples quintessentially Belgian. -- Susan Spano Read more: Belgium's gentle fall Pictured: The Semois River. |

Seeing as Apple seeded iOS 5 beta 6 today, a lot of users want to know if they'll need to wait in order to update and re-jailbreak. The answer to that is no. Go ahead an update. The existing version of Redsn0w for Mac and Sn0wbreeze for Windows will work just fine. I've confirmed this working on a 4th generation iPod Touch. iDB has confirmed it working as well.
The process should be the same as previous versions of Redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze. Just use the new beta 6 firmware file in place of beta 5 or earlier.
As always, remember that not only is iOS 5 in beta, these jailbreak tools are also beta. Unless you're a developer or jailbreak developer, I'd probably hold off on doing this. Not all regular apps are compatible with iOS 5 let alone jailbreak apps. So be advised to proceed at your own risk.
What about iPad 2? Does it supported??? :/
WRONG. This doesn't work. At least, not on iPhone 4 CDMA. Pointing it at the beta 5 ipsw causes it to go into a boot loop (Restore Mode when booting tethered) and if you point it at the beta 6 IPSW it says Unable to Recognize.
This article is insane. Redsnow and Snowbreeze WILL NOT jailbreak Beta 6 until they are updated. The md5 hashes are different, so they wont recognize the new Beta 6. Pointing to iOS 5 Beta 5 will cause boot loop. How about doing a little research before posting this junk. Is your boss Rupert Murdock?
tested on iPhone 4 GSM, it's a no go I got the boot loop twice so yeah it's not working for some people :/
Ummm...the link you posted to iDownloadblog is for an article that says the JB is NOT safe on iOS 5b6.
Does it still work? I'm pretty sure an apology is in order. Sn0wbreeze performs a hash check won't work and Redsnow will install cydia then go into a boot loop.
Tsted iOS 5 Beta 6 THRICE on my 4'th gen iPod touch using Sn0wbreeze. Works fine, until I open Cydia (stuck on Recovery Mode whenever rebooted). Tried to kick it using iBooty, Recboot, TinyUmbrella...etc..., no luck.
Now I'm testing it again, but this time i didn't touch Cydia at all. Works fine now, i've rebooted twice with no problems, no Recovery Mode crap.

Shocked and "keeping victims' families in their thoughts," The Dark Knight Rises cast jetted back to the states after Friday's horrific shooting at a screening of their new film.
Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were in France for the canceled Paris premiere, but took a Warner Brothers plane bound for Los Angeles on Saturday.

The carpet will be red hot – with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson,Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, and new parents Emma Heming and Bruce Willis, turning this year's Cannes Film Festival into a two-week A-lister date night.

The 65th Cannes fest, which will run from May 16 to 27, formally announced its schedule in Paris on Thursday, and organizers haven't stinted on star power.

Gotham City is about to get a French accent. Already set to star Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Christian Bale returning as the Caped Crusader, the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, is also welcoming a formidable femme fatale: 2008 Oscar winner Marion Cotillard.
While it still remains to be seen whether the French star, 35, will play a romantic interest or a rival superhero to Hathaway's character of Selina Kyle – also known as Catwoman – the addition of Cotillard comes as a surprise, reports Monday's Le Parisien newspaper.

The race for golden statuettes starts now – and those in the running are expressing shock and gratitude for their recognition by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"I am beyond stunned," said Sandra Bullock in a statement for her two Golden Globe nods: Best Actress in a Drama for The Blind Side and Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for The Proposal.

After a private Mediterranean cruise with 12 pals that sailed from Aug. 12 through 16 along the French Riviera, Leonardo DiCaprio got an early jump on Labor Day by going back to work Monday in Paris for his latest movie, Inception, directed by Dark Knight's Christopher Nolan and which started shooting in London last month.
Trade reports have described Inception as a contemporary sci-fi action thriller set within "the architecture of the mind." But for DiCaprio and his costars, La Vie En Rose Oscar winner Marion Cotillard and Juno Oscar nominee Ellen Page, the setting was one of the more recognizable bridges on the Seine.
The bridge itself – the Pont de Bir-Hakeim – is no stranger to the screen, having recently been seen in 2007's National Treasure 2. Steven Spielberg also used it and its above-ground Metro line and distinctive view of the Eiffel Tower in his 2005 Munich, while Marlon Brando walked across it in the groundbreaking 1973 Last Tango in Paris. Now it's DiCaprio's turn.
