While it's still a long way from becoming law, the first published draft of the economic stimulus legislation created by the House of Representatives includes billions of dollars for higher education, including several provisions designed to make paying for school easier. The bill still has to be approved by both the House and the Senate (which is drafting its own stimulus legislation) then signed by the President, so it remains to be seen how many of the following appropriations will make it into the final version of the stimulus package.
The stimulus bill would increase funding to several federal student financial aid programs, as well as providing emergency funds to states to prevent further drastic budget cuts, and designating money to help colleges, especially ones affected by disasters, make needed improvements and repairs. If the bill is passed, federal work-study will receive a boost in funding, as will Pell Grants, eliminating a projected budget shortfall for the program. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans will increase by $2,000 per year, bringing the loan limit to $7,500 or more for undergraduate students. The maximum Pell Grant award will also increase to $5,350. In addition, lender subsidies will also increase, hopefully enticing more banks to remain in the FFEL program. The Hope tax credit and a provision that allowed families to deduct up to $4,000 in educational expenses will also be combined into a new $2,500 tax credit, through which families with too little income to file taxes could still receive $1,000.
As Congress hammers out the details of the stimulus bill in coming weeks, these numbers will likely change. A more detailed breakdown of these and other proposals affecting colleges and universities is available from Inside Higher Ed.

A frequent feature of this year's college application season has been discussion and debate surrounding the CollegeBoard's new Score Choice program, which allows students to select which SAT scores they want to submit as part of their college application packets. Schools are beginning to announce whether they will still require students to submit all SAT scores, and much ado is being made about whether students will use Score Choice and expensive and extensive standardized test prep to game the system. At the same time, a number of college admission officials are talking, or in some cases cheering, about de-emphasizing standardized tests in the admissions process.
Meanwhile, numbers are emerging that suggest much of the hype surrounding the competitiveness of the college application process is a bit overblown. As The Chronicle of Higher Education reported today, just over half the students who take the SAT take it a second time, and the vast majority stop there. A study discussed last week in Inside Higher Ed says that despite the relatively small number of repeat test takers, 88 percent of college students surveyed were admitted to their first choice school. In addition, students typically apply to only three or four colleges on average. The high school students who spend years testing and retesting and compiling an extensive list of reach schools and safety schools may be well-represented in media, but prove to be scarce almost everywhere else.
To summarize, getting into college may involve a lot of work, but it doesn't have to involve a lot of worry. If you're a high school senior waiting nervously for an acceptance letter or a high school junior starting a college search, try not to stress. If you write a strong application essay, maintain decent grades and some kind of extracurricular or community service activities, land a solid test score, and apply to a few colleges that seem to be good fits for you, or even if you just do most of these, you will most likely find yourself in the majority of students who wind up going where they want to go. Now all that's left is figuring out how to pay for school.

If you're planning to enroll in a community college sometime in 2009, be sure to plan ahead. While in the past, late registration may have resulted in students not getting a class or two they wanted, increased interest in two year schools may produce an even more pronounced effect. Community colleges across the country are receiving more applications and admitting more students for the 2008-2009 academic year than ever before, with some institutions reporting percentage growths in the double digits. Many schools are seeing enrollment increases so dramatic that they lack the money and space to adequately accommodate the students turning up on their doorsteps.
Community colleges and four-year state colleges are contending with state budget cuts, declining endowments, and less fruitful fundraising efforts in the face of the worst economic situation in decades. Meanwhile, the cash-strapped and the frugal are flocking to the least expensive educational options available, which are community colleges. Community colleges are also seeing an uptick in nontraditional students, as the unemployed return to school for job training and certification to get back to work. All of this adds up to a situation where more students need seats in classes, college services, and student financial aid than ever before, yet fewer resources are available to accommodate these needs.
While schools are doing their best to find space, add courses and sections, and increase campus-based aid where possible, budgetary difficulties are an unfortunate reality. The economic stimulus bill currently in the works in Congress may help relieve some of this stress, but students should still be aware of potential snags in their college plans. If you plan to enroll in a community college this summer or fall, here are some steps to take:

If you're wondering what to expect in college or how you measure up against the students already there, an annual survey of college freshmen may help answer your questions. The Cooperative Institutional Research Program, conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute and UCLA, annually surveys college freshmen, asking a broad spectrum of questions ranging from their reasons for their college choice to their religious and political views. The results from this year's survey have just been published on the Higher Education Research Institute's website.
The results indicate that--at least for now--the class of 2012 is the most politically engaged group of college students ever surveyed by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program. The report found that 85.9 percent of freshmen at least occasionally discussed politics, and fewer students than ever describe themselves as middle-of-the-road politically. Individual issues are also important to many students, with universal healthcare, same sex marriage, and protecting the environment among the issues with the broadest support among first year students.
In addition to politics, students are also more concerned about finances than they have been in the past, likely due to the poor state of the economy. Ability to pay is becoming an increasing concern and mores freshmen indicate plans to work their way through college.
Students are also becoming more concerned with financial aid. More students than ever are describing offers of financial assistance, such as college scholarships and grants, as being essential to their college choice. This year, 43 percent of freshmen based their decision heavily on this factor, with cost of attendance also rating highly for nearly 40 percent of freshmen. Fewer students who were accepted to their first choice school chose to attend in 2008 than in recent years, likely due to issues of affordability and funding.

The University of California system's board of regents is considering a proposal to extend financial aid covering full tuition to families earning under $60,000 per year. The change, suggested by University of California President Mark Yudof, is still under review and will likely be voted on next month.
The concerns that motivate this move are becoming more pressing and are shared by many figures in higher education. The University of California, like other state university systems, is facing budget cuts and plans to increase tuition in response. California is also one of the states hardest hit by the recession, especially the collapse of the housing market. There is widespread concern that these factors may put a college education out of reach for many. The University of California system also serves a relatively large number of low-income and moderate-income students, so Yudof's proposal could potentially benefit a substantial portion of the student body.
Despite economic hardship and shrinking endowments, California is not alone in considering increases to college scholarships and grants for students struggling the most financially. A number of prestigious schools have eliminated student loans for less affluent students in recent years. These significant financial aid packages may be becoming more of a draw students this year, as many of the most prestigious and most generous schools are reporting double-digit increases in applications for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Israeli entrepreneur Shai Reshef announced his plans for a new online university that will use free online course material, volunteer professors, and social networking to instruct students worldwide. The University of the People will not charge tuition, but will charge some small fees for enrollment and testing, likely to range between $10 and $100, with students from poor countries paying the least and students from rich countries paying the most.
The university will officially open in the fall of 2009 with an anticipated enrollment of 300 students in two degree programs: business administration and computer science. Reshef plans to soon apply for accreditation and to eventually build enrollment to over 10,000.
While there is some skepticism about the university's ultimate success, the groundwork on which its offerings are based is well-established. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology launched its Open Courseware Consortium in 2001, and since then universities have made a wide range of course material accessible for free online, through that program and others. Already, undefinedonline courses are widely popular, as are online degree programs. Even without free tuition, attending college online can save money for many students, as it allows for a more flexible schedule and eliminates the need for an extensive commute or on-campus housing.
January 29, 2009
College and university endowments plunged an average of 23 percent between July 1 and November 30 in 2008, with many sustaining further losses since then. While almost everyone who's been reading higher education news or attending college knows that endowments have dropped, the depth and the breadth of the damage has largely been left to the realm of speculation.
Endowment losses had become a hot topic at some schools, including the one my youngest sister attends, even before the release of this study. Undergraduate students previously unaware that colleges even have investments are worrying about the (admittedly slim) chance of their schools' investment funds disappearing, taking their scholarships, their degree programs, or their favorite instructors with them. While such drastic cuts have not been made, schools are facing very real struggles to preserve their staff, their services, and their endowments in the face of a still-deepening recession.
The extent of losses varies, as does the extent of reactions to losses. Several universities have instituted hiring freezes, while others have resorted to layoffs or mandatory unpaid furloughs. Brandeis University and the University of Pennsylvania have both made unpopular moves to cut budgets. Penn has done so by cutting 18 campus museum staff positions, and Brandeis has announced plans to close the institution's art museum entirely and sell its collection. Some state universities battling shrinking endowments and drastic cuts to state funds have been forced to look at double-digit tuition increases.
Still other schools are making almost opposite responses. Some institutions are looking into freezing tuition or increasing it by small amounts, such as Princeton University, which has announced a tuition increase of only 2.9 percent for 2009-2010. Others are hiring new faculty as planned or launching additional searches, hoping to attract stronger talent. Many schools are also increasing student financial aid to help families hit hard by the recession. Even schools making budget cuts are reluctant to touch financial aid, recognizing its importance. However, fears remain that students who need money for college may be unable to find it from their schools. Whether these fears are justified remains to be seen, though many hope that the proposed economic stimulus package will allow schools to continue to fully fund or even expand essential programs.

More Americans are regarding a college education as necessary, but fewer are regarding college as accessible for everyone according to survey results released today by Public Agenda and the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. While the economy is likely a factor, these trends have been ongoing since at least 2000, even during times of relative economic strength.
In the latest survey, conducted in December 2008, 55 percent of Americans regard a college education as not only advantageous but essential for success in today's work world. Meanwhile, 67 percent of respondents believed that many qualified people don't have the opportunity to go to college. 63 percent believed that college costs are going up faster than other costs, and 53 percent believe that colleges could reduce tuition while still offering a high-quality education.
While 74 percent believed that cost should not deter students from attending college, concern is growing about the availability of financial aid and the extent of students' reliance on student loans. 67 percent (up from 60 percent in 2007) believed that students were borrowing too much to pay for school, while 22 percent (up from 15 percent in 2007) believed that sufficient financial aid was not available to everyone who needed it.
While public perception does not always accurately reflect reality, these survey results do suggest that more needs to be done to make college affordable or to inform the public about grants, scholarships, and campus-based and federal student financial aid. College scholarships and grants are still out there, and they're not just for A students or the exceptionally needy. Complete a FAFSA (a free application for federal student aid) and conduct a free scholarship search to see what's available for you.

The loss in funding faced by state and community colleges this year may not be a one-time thing. A report issued this week by the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) indicates that state budget cuts to higher education made during recessions tend to become permanent. With many attempting to eliminate multi-billion dollar budget shortfalls, cuts to education are almost certain to happen across the country, and based on data collected by SHEEO, they are likely to continue into the future.
Per-student state higher education spending peaked in 2001, when it hit the highest level in inflation-adjusted dollars since data was first collected in 1983. A recession in 2001 prompted drops in education spending that continued until 2006, when spending began to grow again until 2008, though per-student funding did not return to 2001 levels before another recession interfered.
In response to cuts in funding of around 7 percent between 1998 and 2008 and increases in enrollment of around 25 percent over the same period, tuition revenue has risen 20 percent. The report suggests this trend is likely to continue, with funding potentially falling off permanently and tuition hikes continuing as a result of this year's budget cuts. Thus, the burden is passed on to already cash-strapped students and families, who are already facing the prospect of needing more student loans due to losses of income and declines in college savings plans.
The SHEEO expressed hope that the stimulus package currently moving through Congress might mitigate this effect. However, the version passed yesterday by the Senate eliminated billions of dollars that would have gone to offset state budget cuts, so the positive impact on higher education could be less than is hoped. Additionally, members of Congress have expressed frustration with rising tuition rates, especially given tuition's likelihood to continue to outpace increases in Federal Pell Grants, such as the new funding currently included in the stimulus.
February 12, 2009
The Senate passed their version of the economic stimulus bill Tuesday, and by late afternoon yesterday it was announced that a compromise had been reached between the House and the Senate. The compromise bill includes less funding than either version--$789 billion as compared to $820 or $838 billion, and one of the areas that faced cuts was education.
While the final draft of the stimulus bill has not been released--or necessarily written--yet, some details are emerging in media coverage. It appears that a Pell Grant increase has made it into the final draft, though the exact amount is still unknown. Federal Work-Study also receives a funding boost, though it's also unclear whether it's the full $490 million appropriated by the House. The $2,500 tuition tax credit has also survived, as have several other tax credits not related to education. Proposed increases to Perkins Loans and unsubsidized Stafford Loans appear to have been axed from the conference committee's version of the bill. States will receive some money to offset educational expenses and aid in school construction and renovation, though not as much as the House had appropriated.
More details will likely emerge over the next couple days as the bill makes its way back through the House and Senate for final approval. The stimulus package could be signed by President Obama as soon as Monday. While the stimulus will provide some help to most people attending college, it's not too late to find other ways to boost the funding to your own college education. Conduct a free college scholarship search to see what financial aid is out there.

Sevendust is heading back out on the road for a headlining acoustic tour to celebrate the release of their highly anticipated acoustic album, Time Travelers & Bonfires, a collection of brand new songs, along with re-recorded Sevendust classics.
Sevendust didn't waste any time getting 2014 started the best way they know how: being holed up in the recording studio to create their long-awaited and highly-anticipated acoustic album. TIME TRAVELERS & BONFIRES will be released in April on 7Bros. Records, in conjunction with ADA Label Services. On April 1, they'll hit the road for their first U.S. headlining tour of the year, entitled "An Evening With Sevendust," which kicks off in Athens, GA at the Georgia Theatre.
After nearly two decades together, Sevendust remain one of few bands to come out of the '90s with all five original members — John Connolly (guitar), Clint Lowery (guitar), Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Vince Hornsby (bass) and Morgan Rose (drums) — intact. It's a testament to the friendship and musicianship the band brings to its fans and each other night after night, album after album.
When he's not touring or recording with Sevendust — who are in the studio working on the follow-up to 2010's Cold Day Memory — guitarist Clint Lowery stays busy with several other projects, including Call Me No One, HDMS and, earlier this year, the long-awaited reunion of Dark New Day.
Guitarist Clint Lowery and his new Sevendust side-project with Morgan Rose, Call Me No One, released their debut album, Last Parade, on June 5 via 7Bros/ILG. Lowery recently sat down to discuss his guitar solo on their new single, "Biggest Fan." Check out the lesson video below.
Clint Lowery and John Connolly of Sevendust discuss their new latest album, Cold Day Memory, reuniting the original members and hitting the road with the Uproar Festival.

Sullivan's Island mayor says he won't seek re-election
Sullivan's Island mayor Carl Smith will not seek another term in office in the upcoming election.
"Though I have no doubt that could win a third term, there are many reasons for my decision not to run again, and I will make them known in the future," Smith said in a statement to the Moultrie News.
"For now, I will just say that I hope a good, qualified candidate who has the island and its employees' interest as a priority will step forward to run for mayor."
Current mayor pro tem Mike Perkis announced about two weeks ago that he plans to run for mayor in the May 7 election.

Alcovy wrestling welcomed Newton and Eastside to its gym Tuesday by winning the Newton Cup.
Newton County's basketball teams had a successful Tuesday as four out of six teams earned victories, including the Alcovy boys, who won their first game of the young season, while the Eastside boys remained undefeated.

In the eighth grade, Ashley Williams understood situations and making moves that Alcovy coach Kidada Holtzclaw was trying to get her Lady Tigers to make during high school practices.
The Alcovy High School football team may have been a decisive underdog in its Class AAAAAA first round state matchup at Newnan, but one thing was clear, the Tigers were determined to leave it all on the Drake Stadium field in the 38-0 season ending loss.
In its seventh year of existence, Alcovy is headed to the state football playoffs for the third time today, looking for its ever playoff win.
Alcovy finished up the regular season Friday night, and thanks to earning a playoff berth Nov. 2 has one more game to recover.

Alcovy was the best team in Region 2-AAAAAA this season, claiming the region title, and it showed in post-season recognition Thursday.
Alcovy shut down Rockdale and opened up a postseason berth in a 17-8 win at Sharp Stadium Friday night.
Alcovy couldn't hold on to a 14-point lead against Druid Hills Friday night and now have to wait for a possible playoff berth.
The Alcovy football team has been looking to get its offense on track all season, and with just four games left the Tigers scored their highest point total of the year netting 30 against Morrow last Friday. Now with the regular season reaching its closing point, Alcovy is finding an offensive rhythm.

I am sure that this man is packing. But I'm sorry, I have seen bigger. It is obvious that he is being truthful, but if you look on the "internet", you can see what I am talking about. There are some humdingers there. Now he may have the biggest white penis on record, but there are black men I've seen that would put him to shame. Lol.

The celebrated classic by a groundbreaking figure in African literature addresses a critical contemporary issue—the collision of Islamic African values and Western culture.
Hailed by Chinua Achebe as one of the greatest African novels ever written, this long-unavailable classic tells the tale of young Samba Diallo, a devout pupil in a Koranic school in Senegal whose parents send him to Paris to study philosophy.
But unknown to Samba, it is a desperate attempt by his parents to better understand the French colonial forces transforming their traditional way of life. Instead, for Samba, it seems an exciting adventure, and once in France he excels at his new studies and is delighted by his new "marvelous comprehension and total communion" with the Western world.
Soon, though, he finds himself torn between the materialistic secularism and isolation of French civilization and the deeper spiritual influences of his homeland. As Samba puts it: "I have become the two."
Written in an elegant, lyrical prose, Ambiguous Adventure is a masterful expression of the immigrant experience and the repercussions of colonialism, and a great work of literature about the uneasy relationship between Islamic Africa and the West — a relationship more important today than ever before.

A missing plane enroute to Gillette last month has been found about 15 minutes from where last contact was made. The plane carrying three passengers, 37-year-old Mathew Ahrens, 34-year-old Trista Meyer and 9-year-old Shyann Lenz, all of Gillette was found early Sunday morning according to a post on the Facebook group Prayers for Trista, Shy and Matt. There are no survivors.
The post from Lori Koch reads: They found the plane, 15 minutes from where they last fueled up, there were no survivors :'(. Please say as many prayers as possible for comfort for our families. Thank you everyone for everything you have done for us, GOD IS GREAT!
KSL-TV reported that three bodies were recovered from the plane after it was spotted about 8:15 am, according to Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Ted Tingey. The plane has been missing since its expected arrival in Gillette on November 25th. Over the past week, members of the Utah Civil Air Patrol had been flying various possible routes the pilot could have taken, attempting to find the plane. Officials from the Utah Civil Air Patrol were unable to receive any emergency signals from the plane. Additional information may be forthcoming.

The week ahead: Time to buckle up
Every high-flying market is bound to find patches of rough air, and the charts show a potential decline is in store. However, several plays should defy these trends.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
Even disappointing retail sales numbers and a pickup in unemployment claims couldn't stop the market from closing higher last Thursday.
However, market internals indicated that the market was struggling to move higher. Each day it seemed a bit weaker, until the sellers stepped in on Friday -- the potential of an S&P downgrade of France's debt rating was the good reason to sell they were waiting for.
Though the losses were not severe enough on Friday to confirm a top, the action does suggest that stocks are likely to be under pressure this week. This view is supported by the interest-rate markets, as yields dropped on Friday.
The chart of the 10-year T-Note Yield has completed the flag formation that I discussed in December.
The euro also came under additional pressure on Friday. The weekly uptrend was broken in September, and the close this week was well below the early 2011 lows. This is not a positive sign unless you are planning a European trip. A drop below $1.25 looks likely, with the next major support in the $1.20 area.
This decline comes despite the fact that the European Central Bank seemed encouraged by how well the Spanish and Italian bond auctions were received. Of course, there are quite a few more auctions in the coming months... and there are signs that investors are moving out of euro fixed-income markets, which helps to explain the declining yields of U.S. Treasuries.
Many of the emerging stock markets have rebounded nicely early this year, but the majority have still not completed their bottom formation. It will be important that some of these markets are able to break out to the upside in the next month or so.
Copper prices have moved higher, and are now in a strong seasonal period. Significantly higher prices would be a positive sign for the economy.
Last week's economic reports were mixed, though the week ended with better-than-expected preliminary numbers on consumer sentiment. There is a heavy slate of earnings reports this week, including many of the large Dow stocks, most of the big banks, and tech giants like Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), and EBay (EBAY). This is likely to provide quite a test for the stock market.
With the U.S. markets closed Monday but overseas markets open, we could see some wild action in the stock index futures. The first report Tuesday is the Empire State Manufacturing Survey, followed Wednesday by the Producer Price Index, Industrial Production, and the Housing Market Index.
On Thursday the pace picks up, with consumer prices, housing starts, jobless claims, and the Philadelphia Fed Survey. There is more data on housing Friday, as we get the report on existing home sales.
As I noted earlier and discussed in more detail last Friday morning, the failure of the Advance/Decline lines to make new highs with prices last week was a concern.
The A/D lines have turned down, with last Friday's action consistent with a further decline. The A/D lines now need to move above last week's highs to signal a further rally.
How much of a drop could we expect? Probably 2% to 4% in the major averages, as there are many stocks that have charts that look much stronger than the indices. The major A/D lines that I follow have well identified levels of support, which if broken would signal a deeper decline.
The sentiment numbers edged up a bit last week, but are still well below extreme levels. Data suggests there is still plenty of money on the sidelines; hedge funds in particular have not participated.
From the seasonal analysis, a late January decline is generally a good buying opportunity.
The Spyder Trust (SPY) pushed 28 cents above the Oct. 27 high at $129.42 last Thursday. It then closed lower Friday, but was higher for the week.
There is next good support now at $127.20, with the rising 20-period exponential moving average (EMA) at $126.80. The more important support is at $124.73 to $125.
There is initial resistance now in the $129 area, and then at $129.70. The 127.2% Fibonacci retracement target is at $133.26.
Dow Industrials
The daily chart of the Spyder Diamonds Trust (DIA) shows the breakout above the downtrend from last summer's highs (line a) and then Friday's close back below it. DIA came fairly close to the 127.2% Fibonacci retracement target at $125.61.
Next support is just a bit lower at $122.40 to $122.60, with the daily uptrend (line b) and the lower Starc- band now in the $120 to $121 area. The key support is now at the Dec. 19 low of $117.05.
The daily relative performance, or RS analysis, has been declining since early December, while the weekly (not shown) shows no signs yet of a top.
The daily on-balance volume (OBV) is more of a concern, as it formed significantly lower highs (line d) last week. A drop through support (line e) would confirm the bearish divergence.
Russell 2000
The iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) again tested the major 61.8% Fibonacci retracement resistance in the $77 area (line f) last week before turning lower.
The support at $73.20 to $73.30 needs to hold on a pullback, or the chart will look more negative and may suggest a test of the uptrend (line g) in the $71.70 area.
The daily RS line broke its uptrend (line h) in early January, then formed a lower high last week. It has now diverged from the price action.
The daily OBV needs to move through resistance (line i) to signal a breakout above the $77 level. There is important daily OBV support at line j.
The PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ) lost some of its upside momentum last week, as it failed to move though strong resistance connecting the July and October highs at $58.90. This is still the key level of resistance to overcome.
The daily RS line is still in a short-term uptrend, suggesting it is acting stronger than the S&P 500.
The daily OBV is well above its rising WMA, which is a positive sign.
QQQ has initial support now at $57.50 to $57.20, with much stronger levels at $55.60 to $56.40.
Sector Focus
The iShares Dow Jones Transportation ETF (IYT) moved well above the October highs last week, but still has strong resistance in the $94.70 area. Initial support now sits at $88, with much stronger levels at $85.50 to $86.50.
This chart shows the striking percentage gains of three ETFs since the October lows with the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) leading the way up over 47%. It was recommended in October.
This analysis was updated last week, and I also took a look at the second-best performer, which was the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE), up over 28%. The Spyder Trust (SPY) has gained almost 17%.
I continue to think that sector selection will make the difference in 2012. If we get a deeper correction, I will be looking at some of the industrial stocks, as well as the regional banks.
The April crude oil contract failed to move above the prior week's highs of $104.10, hitting $103.80 before turning lower. Crude again may be leading the S&P 500; it closed the week lower and back below line a.
With Friday's decline, prices are getting closer to the daily Starc- band. The major support (line b) is still in the $93.15 area.
The selling on the decline took the daily OBV below its WMA and the uptrend (line c). The weekly OBV (not shown) is also below its WMA, and did form a negative divergence at the recent highs.
This suggests that crude oil can decline further. The seasonal pattern is for crude to bottom in February, so a deeper drop could be a good buying opportunity in the oil stocks.
Precious Metals
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) was lower on Friday, but still closed the week higher. The next support sits in the $157 area, and then at $152 to $154. The prior low follows at $148.27, with the lower trend line support at $147 (line e).
The daily flag formation (lines d and e) is still intact, and a decisive close above $166 will complete the formation. The upside Fibonacci targets are at $193.
The daily OBV is still above its WMA, but has not moved through resistance (line f). A break in this downtrend would be very positive and indicate that the correction is over. However, I still can not rule out one more drop below the recent lows before a bottom is completed.
The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is still in its short-term downtrend, and shows no evidence yet of a bottom. While GLD was rallying, the action in SLV was not all that impressive.
The Week Ahead
Given the short holiday week, the unknown impact of the downgrade of France's credit rating and the massive number of earnings reports should make this week interesting.
The tone of the overseas markets on Monday is likely to set the tone for Tuesday's US trading. A close in the German Dax below the 6,000 level would clearly be a short-term negative.
If the correction proceeds as expected, it should be a good opportunity for those underinvested in the stock market to look at some of the high-yielding Dow stocks that I have previously mentioned.
A further stock correction should also create a good buying opportunity in the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), and I will be updating my analysis on the in my regular Charts in Play column.
If you have some nice profits on your stocks or ETFs, be sure to adjust your stops to lock in a profit in case the decline is worse than I expect.

Lindsay Lohan continued her weekend of partying before rehab ... hitting a club in Santa Monica last night with a few friends ... including her rumored new man, Avi Snow.
LiLo was there to watch Avi's band play. We're told she left around midnight (kinda early for her, no?).
As TMZ first reported, Lindsay spent her Friday night drinking inside a club in San Diego, where spies say she asked to be served vodka from carafes, instead of bottles, so she wouldn't be seen with alcohol bottles on her table.
In is unclear if Lindsay was drinking last night as well. In the pics she's drinking San Pellegrino.
Lilo has only just recently started dating Snow, who plays guitar for the indie band City of the Sun. It was his band's concert in New York last week that made Lindsay skip her flight back to Los Angeles ... which started the chain reaction of events that led to her being late to court.
There oughta be a cap on the number of Lohan stories per week, especially those weeks when she does nothing newsworthy.
Is this an all Lohan site or do you guys report on other people? Is there no one else in L.A to write about? Unless she is off to prison for 3-5 or held accountable for her insanity at some point, I'm tired of hearing about her. So what if she was watching some 3rd rate indie band that her latest fvck buddy is in? So what if she was holding a water bottle? Jeez! Boring!
not a care in the world. getting laid, filming with charlie on mon. then off to brazil. life is good. this chicks luck is unreal.
She's just thumbing her nose at the system. Playing a dangerous game. Wonder if probation is going to talk to the bartender? You can't fix stupid.
Where is she going to go for rehab since TMZ found she can't go anywhere in NY? Or was that incorrect too, like when they killed off Lil Wayne last week?
I give her respect, she has that I don't care attitude. Not sure if that bodes well for her attempts at sobriety.

Amargosa River Natural Area
The Barstow Field region covers an area from the northern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park to the southern boundary of Fort Irwin Military Reservation and from the eastern boundary of San Bernardino National Forest to north of Death Valley Junction, California, as far as the California/Nevada state line. The desert within this area is vast, about three million acres, and has many unique features. Elevations vary from near sea level, north of Baker, California, to over 6,000 feet, in the Ord Mountains south of Barstow. There are many scenic locations with rough mountains, dry lake beds, and winding canyons. Plants found here include various cactus species and the Joshua Tree, the symbol of the Mojave Desert. Winter days are usually comfortable in the 70 degree F. range (about 20 degree C.), attracting visitors who come to escape colder states. Summer days can be hot and dry, with 110 degree F. (40 degree C.) temperatures common.

Ramon Lindo Bugliosi
Ramon Lindo Bugliosi died at Fairview University Medical Center Mesabi on Saturday, March 2, 2013 surrounded by his wife and three daughters.
Ramon Lindo Bugliosi
Ramon Lindo Bugliosi died at Fairview University Medical Center Mesabi on Saturday, March 2, 2013 surrounded by his wife and three daughters.
He was born on Jan. 27, 1930, in Hibbing, the son of Frank and Mary (Passeri) Bugliosi, immigrants from Costaciarro, Italy. He was the fourth of five children and grew up in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Hibbing. As a child he attended the Lincoln School in North Hibbing. He also worked for his uncle, Frank Gambucci, and spent a lot of time hanging out with the guys down at Frank's. He graduated from Hibbing High School in 1947, and went on to get his A.A. degree in Business from Hibbing Community College. He was then drafted into the Korean War and stationed at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX where he worked in personnel and as a tank driver. Upon returning from service, he again attended Hibbing Community College and was very active in the Vets Club. He met Joanne Zlebnik, the "most beautiful girl I ever saw," while she was working as a carhop at Ting-Town restaurant. The two were married in Chisholm on Dec. 27, 1956. The couple then moved to Houghton, MI for Ray to complete his Mechanical Engineering degree at Michigan Tech. After college, he took a job with Boise Cascade in International Falls for a brief period, and then went to work for Arthur G. McKee Co. in Hibbing, where the couple settled to have four children and raise their family. After 15 years at McKee, Ray worked at Abe Mathews Engineering Co. (now Barr Engineering) as Vice President of Engineering until his retirement in 1997. Over the years, Ray was active in the Northern Minnesota Engineer's club, was on the Hibbing Public Utilities Commission, and was a member of the Hibbing Planning Commission for many years. He was a past member also of the Elk's Club, Curling Club, Mesaba Country Club, Algonquin Club, and the MAC. Ramon was also a member of the Blessed Sacrament Church. In his younger days, Ray liked to camp, fish, curl, play the guitar and sing funny songs, and was an avid golfer and tennis player. He was also an excellent carpenter all of his life, and with his brothers, built a go-cart, snowmobile, tractor, houses, cabins, and garages for relatives. Ramon could make or fix anything — from the heel of a shoe to a leaky faucet or furnace.

I was talking with George Feil the other day and he said something I thought was very interesting.
"You know," he said, "when you're dealing with Enterprise Apps, there's no reason to generate HTML on the server. You should generate XML, and then use XSLT or CSS in the browser, right? Surely browsers are close enough to standards, anbd far enough along that, at this point, if you insist on a recent browser, it should work."
"Huh?" I thought. "That might be true. It's certainly not something I've thought about recently."
From an architectural perspective, it's interesting. In the Java universe, there have been a lot of new UI frameworks, like Tapestry which look very nice. But which, at the end of the day, are more about better ways to generate HTML and to design server-side apps, than they are about ways to generate XML.
And there's been a lot of work done on richer client interfaces. From Flash to Avalon to General Interface and all points between, a lot of people have been noticing that the client machines are incredibly fast and trying to figure out what to do with all that memory and all those CPUs.
George's point is an elegant one. Suppose instead of using those client CPUs to deliver enhanced functionality, you simply wanted to offload some of the server's workload. Could you use XML to do that? Stay in XML and stay closer to logical layout on the server, and then generate the HTML in the client browser.
So here's the data points:
- It wasn't true, back in 2000.
- There's some evidence that it's true now.
Are people doing this? Am I missing something big or obvious?

Characters FanFicRecs Film Fridge Funny Headscratchers Heartwarming Laconic Main NightmareFuel Pinball Quotes Recap Series TearJerker Trivia WMG WallBangers YMMV main index Narrative
"Space... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission — to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before." Star Trek: The Next Generation is a science fiction show created by Gene Roddenberry as part of the Star Trek franchise. Set in the 24th century, about ninety years after the original series, the program features a new crew, new perspectives on established cultures (a Klingon Empire as a semi-friendly ally against a Romulan Empire emerging from decades of isolation), new antagonists and a new Enterprise (Galaxy-class starship, registration NCC-1701-D).After struggling for a few seasons trying to establish itself apart from the Original Series, it exploded into one of the most well respected television shows ever made, partially because of a change in direction (its creator had health problems starting around season two of the show's run leading to co-producer Rick Berman taking over most of the show's daily production and his promotion to executive producer during season three) and an increased willingness to experiment with the format and scope of the show, and science fiction as a whole. At 176 episodes in length, it was the longest running Star Trek series at the time, and won many awards for everything from visual effects to writing. Additionally, the series has proved wildly popular in Syndication, despite having broadcast its final episode in 1994, almost twenty years ago. To date, in the U.S. alone, it has been broadcast on no less than five different cable / satellite networks: G4, Spike TV, SyFy, WGN America and BBC America. Three of these networks, SyFy, WGN America & BBC America still regularly air episodes of the program, sometimes against each other in primetime.Although much of the show shared the premise of the Original Series, there were also well-placed Story Arcs: the omnipotent trickster character of Q would show up to put Humanity on Trial (becoming a Book End storyline epitomizing the series) or to amuse himself at the expense of others; redefining the Klingons as being Proud Warrior Race Guys instead of the original "black hats"; various encounters with the hive-mind, cybernetic Borg (creating what is regarded as the pinnacle episode for the series and even the franchise, "The Best of Both Worlds"); several episodes with Wesley that developed his character; and defining moments for several of the main cast and the odd minor character, in addition to plenty of development for the Romulans, the Vulcans, the Cardassians and the Ferengi.The series formed the basis of the seventh through tenth Star Trek films: Generations (1994), First Contact (1996), Insurrection (1998), and Nemesis (2002). The success led to an expansion of the franchise and is single-handedly responsible for the creation of Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise. Though fans will usually agree that the quality of the episodes varies wildly, the worst of the lot still makes for compelling and thought-provoking viewing. Even boilerplate stories such as "clueless foreigner offends alien culture" or "Aliens took my Bridge Bunny" are handled in a similar manner to TOS, with Picard and company carefully explicating and deliberating over each problem. With the Federation existing in a relative state of calm and "cowboy diplomacy" no longer a viable option, the challenge is remaining true to Starfleet ideals without resorting to quick and dirty solutions.CBS commissioned Mike Okuda (who designed several visual elements of the show including the main bridge design and the LCARS system used by the Federation) to oversee high quality Blu-ray transfers of the entire series from the original film stock to replace the poor quality DVD versions of the series. More information can be found at the Trek Core website, among other places. The general consensus is that the 1080p, 5.1 surround sound mixes breathe new life into the show, with the special effects work by Industrial Light and Magic looking especially stunning.It now has a tool for gathering and voting for the Best Episode(s). See also the Star Trek: The Next Generation Relaunch, a series of novels that follow the characters after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, as well as setting the direction for the Star Trek Expanded Universe in terms of the original continuity (as opposed to the latest series of films, which take place in an Alternate Timeline).Character tropes for the main characters can be found in this character page. Episode recaps can be found here.—Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Opening Narration This show provides examples of the following tropes: open/close all folders Trope-based episodes

Gap Years and Backpacking in Germany
Germany is the largest country in Central Europe. It's bordered to the north by Denmark, to the east by Poland and the Czech Republic, to the south by Austria and Switzerland, and to the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. Germany is a federation of 16 states, roughly corresponding to regions with their own distinct and unique cultures.
Germany is one of the most influential European nations culturally, and one of the world's main economic powers. Known around the world for its precision engineering and high-tech products, it is equally admired by visitors for its old-world charm and "Gemütlichkeit" (cosiness). If you have perceptions of Germany as simply homogeneous, it will surprise you with its many historical regions and local diversity.
Germany is an economic powerhouse boasting the largest economy of Europe, and is in spite of its relatively small population the second largest country of the world in terms of exports.

Something wrong in Cowboy-land

07:22 AM ET 07.26 | Perhaps the Dez Bryant and Roy Williams roles should be reversed in Pad Gate. Rookie wide receivers are mostly irrelevant figures in today's NFL. Unless you have the unmatched skills of Randy Moss, unless you can pull off the total surprise of Tampa Bay's Michael Clayton (never to be repeated), first-round picks just do not produce 1,000-yard totals in their rookie season. ... There are still things the disappointing Williams does better than Bryant. After two days of practice in the Alamodome, I just have no clue what they are. As for Bryant's reluctance to carry Williams' pads after practice Sunday night, if that's a story, it's only because the wrong receiver was being asked to haul the equipment.
Bryant was going to have Williams carry his pads, but he was too scared Williams was going to drop it. . . kinda like what happens on the playing field.
maybe Roy hasnt heard he is on thin ice.....just play, youre getting attention for all the WRONG reasons...but still love that Jerry traded 3 picks for this loser

Good Job, Dallas Morning News. You managed to botch this article, too. Mark Clayton was drafted by and plays for Baltimore and has nothing resembling a stellar year that couldn't easily be repeated or exceeded. Michael Clayton was the Tampa Bay WR that had a breakout season and then vanished into obscurity.
Also, I agree. When Williams shows some sign of being a stud WR, then he can have his pads carried. Until then, maybe he should shut up and carry Miles Austin's pads.

Ooh! Let's get ready to rumble!
When I heard the story on ESPN last night, I knew the interns would pick up on it.
Since Williams hasn't established himself in Dallas as anything except an overpaid guy who can't get open if you put him on the field with a bunch of tackling dummies, he shouldn't act like a big shot who can order the rookies around.
I think people are missing the point. You really think it was just Roy Williams that started this? That none of the other 100 guys in training camp were in on it? The entire point is that Dez is a ROOKIE who has done even less in his career than Williams, as hard as that may be to believe. Its a form of swearing in, if you will, to your NFL career. They do it on every team, in every sport. Rooks doing everything from picking up a $20,000 restaurant tab to walking around wearing Hello Kitty backpacks...its tradition, as stupid as it may be, it's the culture. So when a guy like Dez Bryant comes into the league and acts like he's as entitled as anybody else, even going as far as to refer to himself as "the same as a free agent" during his ROOKIE TRAINING CAMP, it's going to cause a stir.
It speaks volumes about Dez's character. If he's like this as a rookie, what's he going to be like if/when he actually accomplishes something?

Bryant has no sense of humor. Williams is a joke, and he didn't get it.
If Williams ask any one to carry anything he should be @#$%^slapped. Got to prove you can carry your own weight before you have a right to haze a rookie. Dez should be carrying Whittens' pads not Williams.
Nah - high school mentality for a grown up game. Roy Williams needs to practice carrying things - carry his own pads.
Besides everyone saying Rookie Wr dont produce um Percy Harvin had a great year and Dez is alot better than him in running routes
Bryant did agree to carrying Williams Pink Slip.
Bryant had that negotiated into his contract.
I dont know why Roy is even on the team. I guess Jerry doesn't want to admit he was wrong. And wow was he wrong!
Besides everyone saying Rookie Wr dont produce um Percy Harvin had a great year and Dez is alot better than him in running routes
The guy got a lot wrong in this article, but he was talking about "great" rookie years. 60 catches 790 yards and 6 TD's might be a great year for a tight end but not a receiver.

Irrelevant story about an irrelevant team. I live here in Dallas and I fail to understand the hype over a team that has been NOTHING BUT hype for a decade? Tony Romo? Give me Danny White! Wade Phillips? Give me Bum Phillips! Jerry Jones? I'd rather listen to Tom Jones... Nowhere issue for a team built to disappoint, going nowhere fast, AGAIN!

A Thanksgiving Stock
Turkey dinner costs are up, which bodes well for Winn-Dixie.
Thanksgiving dinner is more expensive this year: According to the American Farm Bureau, the average meal will set you back $44.61, up from $42.26 last year. Turkey prices are a big factor; they're up 8 percent (those on a budget might consider the Tofurkey, which costs around $10, and tastes good, too!) All the fixings--rolls, cranberries, and pies--are also more expensive.
So what's a stock investor to do? Charles Rotblut of Zacks.com thinks Winn-Dixie (symbol WINN) is a timely play. According to his report, the company saw a 3 percent increase in same-store sales in its first quarter, and gross margins--a measure of efficiency--also improved. As a result, Winn Dixie posted a smaller-than-expected loss of 4 cents a share. A bonus, says Rotblut, is that analysts increased their full-year profit projections. That consensus estimate calls for fiscal 2009 earnings of 3 cents per share, versus last month's forecast of a 3 cents-per-share loss.

All the samples I have given out have been liked by all. One even had to hide the bag so the dog would not bark. Brandy ( own dog) loves the oaatmel ones. Actually chews them not inhaling them whole. Would recommend them to anyone.

Spring 2013
On the off chance that Wes Anderson's next movie is about a minimalist tennis club in the seventies, he may want to check out Prada's Spring 2013 show. Miuccia Prada put forth a collection that celebrated her house's signatures, from color-blocking in counterintuitive color combinations to a plethora of polo shirts, but this season stripped it all of any unnecessary patterns or textures, working instead in a tightly edited selection of saturated hues. Sportif touches came in the form of amplified ringer tees and tanks, and reverse-stripe track pants (stripes on the inside leg), all of which brought some athleticism to the clean, but hardly sterile, collection.
