About Teaching Principle 5
Environmental observations are the foundation for understanding the climate system. From the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the Sun, instruments on weather stations, buoys, satellites, and other platforms collect climate data. To learn about past climates, scientists use natural records, such as tree rings, ice cores, and sedimentary layers. Historical observations, such as native knowledge and personal journals, also document past climate change.

About Teaching Principle 7
Ecosystems on land and in the ocean have been and will continue to be disturbed by climate change. Animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses will migrate to new areas with favorable climate conditions. Infectious diseases and certain species will be able to invade areas that they did not previously inhabit.

Government Accountability
Back-room deals and closed doors are not the stuff of free governments. Our work is making governments more transparent and accountable to citizens.
PHOENIX—A Yavapai County Superior Court judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by the Congress, Arizona Elementary School District seeking to have four taxpayers barred from requesting public documents and school records about their children.
Until recently, state and local government interaction with the federal government seemed to consist mostly of local and state officials asking D.C. for more money. As a result, many states, counties and cities have ended up on their backs, hog-tied by federal mandates. What James Madison called our "compound republic" cannot stand unless state and local governments recognize their obligation to join with the people in resisting federal overreach.
In a period when financial markets and institutions have appeared near collapse, the accounting methods used by public employee pensions effectively ignore risk. These accounting methods, which are used by public pensions in Arizona and around the country, allow pension fund managers to assume that high returns can be earned through stocks and other investments without taking any market risk. As a result, the true market value of Arizona pension shortfalls that must be funded by taxpayers is understated by around half of what the pension funds have reported.

When four parents requested public information from the Congress Elementary School District, the district sued them. Goldwater Institute investigative reporter Mark Flatten joined the Mike Broomhead Show on KFYI with details.
PHOENIX—A rural school district in Yavapai County, Arizona, has gone to court to stop four taxpayers from seeking any public records from the district, from suing the district and from filing complaints about the district with state oversight
A handful of taxpayers in a small community north of Wickenburg, Arizona are being targeted by the local school district in a lawsuit that asks a judge to declare they have no right to request public records, sue the district, or complain to outside agencies.
The Congress Elementary School District has a history of violating Arizona public records law and other state and federal laws that guarantee parents the right to see school records about their children. These violations have been documented by the state attorney general and the state ombudsman. The violations were brought to attention of state officials over the past decade because of actions by parents and taxpayers such as Jean Warren, Barbara Rejon, Cyndi Regis and Renee Behl-Hoge. At different times, these taxpayers have requested to see various documents widely considered to be basic public records, including agendas and minutes of school board meetings. Rejon, Regis and Behl-Hoge also have asked to see records about their children when they attended school in the district. However, Behl-Hoge's family no longer lives in Congress and she hasn't requested to see any school district records in more than six years.
The Goldwater Institute sued the City of Phoenix after the City refused to turn over public documents related to a special tax deal it was making with the Wyndham Hotel. Channel 12 has been covering the story closely and has the latest.

4th Conference on Immigration to the Southeast:
Policy Analysis, Conflict Management
October 18 - 20, 2012
Kennesaw State University
For A Draft of the program, click here
Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, USA
KSU Center for Continuing Education
3333 Busbee Drive, Kennesaw, Georgia 30144
The Conference on Immigration to the Southeast promotes the exploration of the challenges associated with immigration and migration, with an emphasis on finding practical and realistic solutions that stimulate economic growth and increase social strength. It also supports the new field of Critical Immigration Studies, defined as academic research that contributes to understanding and eliminating social inequality and injustice.
The Conference is co-sponsored by the Kennesaw State University Center for Conflict Management; the Consortium for Latino Immigration Studies at the University of South Carolina; and the Centro de Investigaciones Sobre America del Norte of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico. Contributing sponsors include the Institute for Global Initiatives; the KSU Shaw Industries Endowed Chair of History; and the KSU Maya Heritage Community Project.
Special Notice: The conference will host an open roundtable discussion on the establishment of a migration/immigration association for the Southeast. Given the tremendous economic, political, and human complexities concerning human migration and immigration into the Southeast of the United States, do we need to establish an academic organization or association that would meet yearly, or every two years, to keep pace with the changes and solidify communication among researchers? If so, where will the next conference be located and who will help with organizational leadership?

Jack Chick is really an anthropomorphic personification of Religious Intolerance, Hatred and Bigotry.He makes Chick Tracts to reinforce the views of the remaining intolerant christian groups, out of fear of the motions towards tolerance and acceptance put forth by the rest of the religion. People either believe him, or hate him- A win/win situation for him, as either makes him stronger!
Jack Chick is cursed.He's was turned into a human, and was given the personalty of the creature he was before: a donkey. So he's a jackass.
Jack Chick got saved in prison.Many of his Tracts are about someone getting saved in prison, and they're generally portrayed as better Christians than everyone else. In one Tract, he defines a prison term in the Footnotes.
Jack Chick doesn't exist.He's never given an interview, and there's only one picture out there that's purported to show him, but there's no way to verify if it's genuine. I've never even heard of anybody who's seen him personally. Given how the quality of his art has changed over time, and the completely over-the-top messages, it's clear that his work is produced either by a group, or a succession of people.
Alternatively Jack Chick is real, but he is the world's most committed performance artist.He has been doing a bit on mindless hatred and human stupidity since he founded Chick Publications in 1961.
Jack Chick does it For the Evulz
Jack Chick is actually a demon.He's one of many demons Satan sent to discredit the Christian faith. The real God is far more tolerant(or at least sane) than what Jack wants us to believe. The reason why we never see Jack is also due to Satan: since he failed to get anyone to take him seriously, Lucifer punished him by preventing people from noticing him.
Jack Chick has finally kicked the bucket. His legacy of crazy lives on in Chick Publications.
Jack Chick is really Jack Thompson. Jack Thomas is really Jack NapierThree crazy men who all happen to be named Jack. Coincidence? I think not.
Jack Chick doesn't really exist, and is really someone created by a group of Atheists satirizing ChristianityUnfortunately, it has become a huge, HUGE, HUGE Springtime for Hitler.
Jack Chick was a pagan before he converted to Christianity.Who else could be behind The Legend of Zelda CDi Games? Of course, that would mean that he actually took those games seriously.
Jack Chick is actually an AI.In order to make artificial intelligence more human-like, they needed an AI that believed in religion. Jack Chick was one of the early models. There are a few other similar models running around. But don't worry - they've fixed the problems. You can't even tell the difference now. And they've expanded the work to other areas now, as well...
Alberto Rivera, the ex-Catholic priest featured in his tracts who is also an Ascended Extra, is the Man Behind the Man.That explains the discrepancies in Chick's tracts. Unlike Chick who is raised in an Evangelical Protestant environment, Rivera is a Spanish ex-Catholic priest. Rivera is indeed a walking Dan Browned former Spanish "Inquisitor".
Uncyclopedia's article about Jack Chick is actually the real story.
Jack Chick's attack against other fundamentalists like Billy Graham are actually to boost Jack Chick's sales.And the reverse is probably true.
Jack Chick is actually employed by the CIA.The alleged Soviet Vatican connection is true, but is the reverse; half of the Vatican is controlled by the KGB, thus spawning those "Liberation Theology" movements. So the US government employed Jack Chick, who is a genuine Evangelical Protestant, to hype up their hatred against Dirty Communists. When anti-Communist John Paul II took over, he ordered The Purge against Marxist priests. Jack Chick is probably now genuinely involved in anti-Catholicism this time, so the CIA pulled the plug. That also explains Jack Chick's later attacks against the CIA.
Chick.com has been hacked repeatedly since it first went online.The hacker(s) have been making their own Stealth Parody tracts and uploading them as genuine Chick Tracts. None of Chick Publications' employees have realized that they're fakes due to Poe's Law, and Chick himself thinks that he just doesn't remember writing them due to old age.
Chick is being paid off by the Church of Scientology.He has criticized nearly every form of belief(and non-belief)in existence but he has never made a peep about one of the easiest targets out there. Alternatively he just fears their lawyers.
Jack Chick is a devout Christian with the initials J. C. Discuss.
Jack Chick's version of God is actually The Truth's alter egoThink about it: both are evil or at least neutral but very sadistic and both are The Blank. Also, it could be that Jack Chick's God is actually keeping all the truth in the Gate of Truth, making mankind ignorant in the process; in addition, he may be able to warp reality to fool the protagonists of the Chick Tracts, allowing them to preach ignorance, and in that aspect it may also be possible that the Idea of Evil from Berserk may also be the same entity as The Truth and Jack Chick's God, being probably his heart, seeing as The Idea of Evil is shaped like a human heart
Jack Chick is from Lyra's World.That's why he's so intolerant about other beliefs. He hates the Catholic Church so much because that due to the fact that John Calvin became pope in her [Lyra's] world, the Magisterium would probably look more like Calvinism than Catholicism, and he sees the Church of this world as being a perversion of the Church he knows and loves. Of course, this is probably jossed due to the fact that assuming the events of The Amber Spyglass occured around 1997, he should be dead by now, as somebody can only survive in another universe for a little over a decade.
Jack Chick exists in a parallel universe where everything he says is true.This is why no one seems to know anything about him. He's actually from a parallel universe which is exactly as described in his tracts, down to the exact detail. Unlike the previous WMG, Jack Chick is not a dimensional traveler; he still exists in his home dimension but his website was somehow managed to manifest in our dimension for unknowable reasons. He is likely unaware that this has even occurred or that our universe exists at all.
Jack Chick is Jack of Fables.
Jack Chick is communicating clearly.He really believes God Is Evil, but that morality doesn't matter because He is too powerful to resist. That is why he constantly uses the message that all that matters for salvation is open and genuine submission, with actual morality or good works (other than evangelism) utterly irrelevant. He believes that the Catholic Church is in league with Satan because of their focus on moral living (as the Church defines it) as opposed to giving constant praise would doom their followers. He refuses to learn about his other targets since anything that contradicts his beliefs is just Satan screwing with him.
Jack Chick is completely correct about everything!Really, what could be more wild than if this guy's ravings were actually true? You see, since everything is the result of a massive global conspiracy headed by Satan and the Vatican, the complete lack of verifiable proof is itself proof of the conspiracy's ability to cover things up! Any other problems can be explained away with Satan's powers, because according to Chick Demonic Magic is actually a real thing; you just need to say the right words and even if you don't believe them, things will happen. It makes perfect sense!
The Jesuits are Time LordsWhich is how, at least according to Chick and Alberto Rivera, they could have founded Islam in the 7th century when the Society of Jesus was not formed until the 16th.
Jack Chick has been tricked into making the tracts by XaviaxIt's obvious that he's a third version of Kamen Rider Strike (fourth if you want to count Ohja). Remember that James Trademore's blogging name was "JTC". According to This Site Jack Chick's middle name is Thomas, therefore his full initials would also be "JTC". Obviously Xaviax isn't dead and escaped to another world, Strike was fairly easy to manipulate so Xaviax decided to manipulate the version of Strike in this world, obviously the man in the photo atop his TVTropes page is Xaviax disguised as someone else to manipulate Mr.Chick.
Jack Chick is The Inquisition
Jack Chick is Satan.His comics are intentionally presumptous, inaccurate and shallow in order to humiliate the concept of Christianity and encourage the reader to cheer on the evil or corrupted characters.
In The Nervous Witch, Bob mercilessly obliterates Holly in order to send her to hell, then burns Sam's house down.Notice how, after the demon that possessed Holly flees, Holly is not seen again in the comic. Later, Bob tells Sam to burn all of the Harry Potter merchandise in her room, and we see them standing in front of a large fire emitting an enormous cloud of smoke. This is the smoldering remnants of Sam's home, which she and Bob felt was entirely tainted by evil. Sam's mother is absent, so she was obviously inside the house when the two of them lit it aflame.
The evil Catholic/atheist/gay/Muslim/pagan/etc conspiracy is real, but...Jack Chick himself is working for it. His task is to discredit those who might Pull the Thread by writing up ridiculous, anvilicious cartoon tracts "supporting" their theories with the flimsiest possible arguments so that nobody can ever take these ideas seriously.
Jack Chick is a T-1000Jack Chick was sent from the future to destroy logical thought and create comics that angered people so much that they swore to have vengeance on Jack Chick. However, he doesn't really exist, so they're just banging at walls.
Nancy from Unloved actually had a crappy life.Taking cues from the "Everyone's life actually sucked without the Critic" theory, I offer these little tidbits to the table.
Chick is a parody artist/fictional character/pen name.
Tara Gillespie and Jack Chick are the same person.
Jack Chick is an angel.More specifically, he's a very uptight angel, and makes propaganda for God. However even God thought he was demonizing non-believers too much, so he was booted out.
Jack Chick is a member of the Jacks of All Trades.This would explain all the secrecy about his life—he doesn't want Silas, Miss Lupescu, and other members of the Honour Guard tracking him down.
The Vatican is on to Jack...and will send their High Priest Assassin Warlock, Charlie Sheen, disguised as Bishop Sheen, to silence him.
Jack Chick is the nega-Jonathan Coulton.Both are artists, though in different mediums. One is an old, clean-shaven guy while the other is fairly young and looks a bit like a hippie. Coulton loves geek culture while Chick finds such things evil. Coulton has a fantastic sense of humor while Chick... well, he thinks he has one. Chick is close-minded and intolerant, while Coulton's a pretty chill, non-judgmental guy. Their initials are both J. C. (as mentioned above, which helped inspire this particular WMG). The connections are too many to discount. The reason is obvious. Chick, with his messages of hatred, misinformation, and intolerance, is actually an envoy of Satan in order to drive people away from true Christianity, given the initials of Christ in an attempt at subconsciously tempting his readers. God learned of this, and so sent his own envoy, the exact opposite of Chick but also designated with the same initials, this time looking vaguely like his son (hence the Beard of Awesome sorta-hippie look) as a sort of "signature." When Coulton gains enough fans, their combined belief will bestow him with a holy version of The Power of Rock and allow him to use his music to destroy Chick once and for all, ushering humanity into a new Golden Age. ...what?
Jack Chick is Seth McFarlane.He drew the Family Guy characters perfectly in one of his tracts.
Susy Barnes is either gay or bisexualShe does tend to focus her efforts on female converts. I myself am bisexual and had similar problems with self-righteousness at her age.
Chick is our universe's version/will be reincarnated as Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Jack Chick is honestly mistaken.His so-called source for the Catholic conspiracy data is a known fraud, but Jack appears convinced he was an actual bishop, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Jack Chick is actually a Militant Atheist TrollHis whole shtick is basically a personification of what many a Hollywood Atheist believes of Christians in general; that Christians are all intolerant, bigoted, and consider anyone who commits the slightest wrong to be guaranteed an eternity in Hell. Extra bonus points for his views on rock music. Call it Poe's Law, or call it a case of the Vocal Minority, but he's contradicted himself so many times, and with as many times as he's quoted The Bible, it's hard to imagine he's either missed or wrongly understood any reference to Jesus calling out the Pharisees and being friendly with known sinners. Plus, there's much more that points to this theory...
Jack Chick was converted by a tract that was as crazy or crazier than the ones he writes.I don't see why not.
Chick started them as a joke, but now he believes it.The first few aren't near as outlandish as the later ones. He set it up to make money after that. After decades of this he started to believe it himself. Alternatively he became a front for the Westboro Baptist Church, to earn money and to spread the propaganda.
He is completely right about heaven, but is wrong about hell. God sends all the people like him to heaven to keep them away from other people.
Chick is a Christian who started them seriously.He started out writing sincere, noncrazy comics. When he realized most of the people buying them were doing it just to laugh at him, he took it Up to Eleven because he's making way more money and he gets a kick out of writing such crazy shit.
Jack Chick is serious, but everyone around him is a troll.Much like Conservapedia, the "brains" (for lack of a better word) of the operation belong to a true believer. His support network (artists, webmasters, etc.) are all laughing at him as they cash their paychecks.
Jack Chick is secretly trying to discredit fundamentalist Christianity.By taking certain controversial aspects of their beliefs, turning them Up to Eleven and presenting them in a ludicrous way... then sitting back and watching as the real believers buy and try to use them. (Probably not, but would be hardly surprising.)
In Dark Dungeons, Marcie didn't actually kill herself.Like Debbie was given actual magic powers and inducted into a cult, she was given actual thief skills and inducted into an organized crime ring. She fakes her suicide so she could do it full time.
In the world in which Dark Dungeons the tract takes place, death works differently from real lifeDeath in a game is permanent, and real death is temporary. Marcie will be coming back in due time, but she will never get to play Dark Dungeons again.
Jack Chick doesn't believe in anything he writes.He just does it to make money. He sits back and laughs at all the people who believe what he writes, and watches the money from the tracts and the merchandise and the books roll in.
The grim reaper is the only good guy. Which is because Jack Chick is a Death SeekerGod will send you to hell unless you do everything perfect, hell is horrible, and doing anything fun will send you on a fast track to hell. Jack Chick was raised on this belief, and making these comics is the only thing he thinks he can do that's fun without going to hell. All he wants is to go to heaven, so he wants his life to be over already. So he makes the grim reaper the only good guy, because he's seeking him.
Many of the more unpleasant Aesops are not accidental.Jack really believes God is an asshole. He's trying to warn us.

Local businesses jump in to support Hope Clinic
Katie Sprunger, executive director for The Hope Clinic, was amazed at the way local businesses jumped in this week to show their support for the local ministry.
Businessmen from several local businesses were willing to take to the dunk tank during Habegger Ace Hardware's annual "contractor night," which incorporated the addition of a tank in order to raise money for the clinic. Those businesses participating included Lehman Feed Mill (Lance Lehman), First Bank of Berne (Joe Caffee), Bank of Geneva (Chris Reusser), Berne Ready Mix (Matt Subler), and Habegger's Ace Hardware (Brian and Mike Habegger).
"Every year we try to have different games during contractor night," noted Habe...

To do the test, you sit and look inside a bowl-shaped
instrument called a perimeter. While you stare at the center of the bowl,
lights flash. You press a button each time you see a flash. A computer records
the spot of each flash and if you pressed the button when the light flashed in
that spot.
At the end of the test, a printout shows if there are
areas of your vision where you did not see the flashes of light. These are
areas of vision loss. Loss of peripheral vision is often an early sign of
A perimetry test can help find
certain patterns of vision loss. This may mean a certain type of eye disease is
present. It is very useful in finding early changes in vision caused by nerve

Regular perimetry tests can be used to see
if treatment for glaucoma is preventing further vision loss.
The amount of peripheral vision loss is
linked to the amount of optic nerve damage.
A perimetry test makes a detailed
record of your visual fields. Baseline information, descriptions, or drawings
can be compared with future test results.

Non-surgical Treatments for Urinary Incontinence in Adult Women: Diagnosis and Comparative Effectiveness
Non-surgical Treatment of UI (1 of 2)
The treatment approach taken depends on the type of UI, each of which has different underlying pathophysiologies. Stress UI treatments include a variety of nonpharmacological methods intended to strengthen muscles that support the bladder and urethra. These include pelvic floor muscle training or PFMT (also known as Kegel exercises) and methods for electrical and magnetic stimulation of pelvic floor muscles.
Keywords: urinary incontinence | stress incontinence | urge incontinence | urgency incontinence | mixed incontinence | pelvic floor muscle training | PFMT | Kegel | electrical stimulation | magnetic stimulation

This Sunday, as everyone knows, is Wrestlemania. The one day that all eyes are on the wrestling world. As WWE likes to say, this is the Superbowl of pro wrestling. With everyone watching, and the world wanting to be impressed, the question is…who is going to do it? Which superstar or superstars are going to give it more than their "A" game. Who is going to go out there, and make sure they are remembered forever in history because of their match. The fact of the matter is that everyone who is performing on Sunday is going to TRY and be that person. Just because they are going to try, though, doesn't mean it's going to happen. Here's who I think have the best shot of blowing us all away Sunday night.
CM Punk vs. The Undertaker
Let's face it, the odds are better that these two guys are going to steal the show. Not only are they a "main event" match, but these are two guys who can straight WRESTLE. They are also two guys that know the business better than almost anyone else. Taker and Punk live and breath the wrestling business and know it on a different level. Both of these superstars know what it takes to put on a legendary main event wrestling match. This match is the one I see having the highest possibility of being "the" match.
Team Hell No vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston
I honestly didn't think this match had any potential at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. You've got two extremely talented wrestlers in Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler. These two guys could tear the house down by themselves. Then you add in the element of Kane and Big E being the powerhouses. The combination of pure skilled wrestlers and powerhouses is actually usually a good combination, it adds another dimension to the match, which could be very, very beneficial to the over all quality of the match. The only thing that has me concerned is Big E. We haven't seen him wrestle before (on WWE TV) and he's got a lot of pressure riding on his shoulders with this being his first match, first pay per view, and it's all at Wrestlemania for a championship. He is either going to rise to the occasion or make himself look incredibly green.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango
These two guys have an excellent opportunity to really steal the show because to be honest, there is a great deal of hype around Fandango's abilities backstage. That said the fans themselves have no real idea what Fandango can do. Chris Jericho can flat out wrestle and is one of the best in the business. He also seems more than willing to pass the torch on to the younger stars. Fandango can really step up and show off his in-ring skills and really earn the respect of the fans, the other stars, and the creative team. Jericho and Fandango, especially opening the show, have the opportunity to steal the show, set the tone for Wrestlemania, and pull an underdog moment of the year.
Honestly any match on the card has the potential to steal the show, these are just the matches that I see having the highest probability of coming out and knocking everyone's socks off. Who knows the heavyweight match-up of Ryback and Mark Henry could blow us away. Maybe, the No Holds Barred match between Triple H and Brock Lesnar will be the match that people won't stop talking about. Heck! Even John Cena and The Rock might sweep us off our feet and be the match everyone is buzzing about. Agree with my picks? Disagree? Which match do you think will be the most memorable? Let me know below in the comments thread.

text: How do you find time to take care of yourself after a parent's death when the surviving spouse is so needy? My Dad has recently passed away and my Mom, who was always totally depended on him during 60+ years of marriage, is now looking to me, an only child, to fill the void. With my own husband and children's needs and full time work, I haven't had a second to address my own grief. Mom has tough health issues, my husband has work challenges and I need to be there for both. How does one find any kind of balance? I feel jumpy and uncomfortable in my own skin right now. I know there must be plenty of others who have gone through the same experiences and would appreciate it if you could share how you coped. written by Janet in Kansas

How To Trade Peregrine Pharma's Lung Cancer Fiasco
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (PPHM) shares plummeted more than 80% last week on news that the company found major discrepancies with the Phase II trial of their non-small cell lung cancer drug candidate bavituximab. Making matters worse, the event triggered a material adverse change clause in the company's credit facility thus requiring immediate repayment of $15 million plus interest and fees.
Peregrine stated that due to these changes they have sufficient liquidity to fund operations until April 30, the end of its fiscal year. The cold, hard truth is that the company needs to raise more money and time is running out.
Peregrine shares closed Friday at $1.03.
Even with these serious challenges, Peregrine shares have managed to remain above $1 (the stock closed Friday at $1.03) and I don't expect the stock price to plunge below 50 cents in the near term. Shorting Peregrine shares outright is difficult because they are hard to borrow. In addition, buying the Puts at 35 cents is likely a losing proposition on a risk/reward basis i.e. risking $1 to make $1, the shares need to drop to 30 cents by expiration. I don't see that happening, although I could be wrong.An alternative approach to trading Peregrine with a short bias is to use both puts and calls. Try the following trade: Buy 20 JAN13 1.0 strike Puts @ 0.35 = $700
Sell (30) JAN13 2.5 strike Calls @ 0.25 = $(750)
Initial Trade P&L = $(50) Credit P&L Diagram: In this trade, I am buying Puts fully financed by selling a higher ratio of Calls. The trade can be done for a small credit of $50 excluding commissions. This structure allows the premium decay in the long Puts to be offset by the premium decay in the short Calls -- it thus protects against the situation where the stock trades around $1 for extended periods of time. It also provides immediate and increasing profit at all points below $1 (where buying the $1 strike Puts outright needed the shares to trade to 65 cents just to break even.) Due to the enormous challenges Peregrine faces, I don't see the shares trading above $2.50 by January expiration, hence I am willing to sell those Calls at a higher ratio. The risk in the trade is that it includes naked Calls (the Calls that were sold) -- this needs to be understood as it is very important from a risk perspective. If Peregrine shares trade higher than $2.50 by the January 13 expiration, this trade loses money. Losses in this trade could be enormous if Peregrine shares trade to recent highs of $5, but this is a very low-probability scenario given recent events. Pelz has no position in Peregrine.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- On July 24 I wrote, Downgrades Point to Weak Construction Spending Ahead and on Tuesday we learned that construction spending rose a better than expected 0.6% in July. This information prompted me to provide an update on the profiles for the 11 construction-related companies I covered on July 24.

Statement of Clifford E. Haines,
Chancellor, Philadelphia Bar Association
Friday, October 3, 1997
United States Courthouse, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Good morning/afternoon, Senator Specter. Thank you for inviting me to talk with you today about the nomination of Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Frederica A. Massiah-Jackson to serve as a federal district judge here in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Before I address any specifics regarding Judge Massiah-Jacksons background and qualifications, I want first to say how very pleased the Philadelphia legal community is that the vacancies on the federal trial bench here are being addressed. Now that Judge Rendells nomination to serve on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has been confirmed, there are five vacancies on the Eastern District bench. These vacancies have imposed many hardships on those judges currently serving, on lawyers, and on litigants. We badly need quality candidates to be nominated by the President and approved promptly by the Senate.
I understand that Judge Massiah-Jacksons nomination has the support of both of Pennsylvanias senators, that her background has been investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and found to be satisfactory, and that Judge Massiah-Jackson also satisfied the American Bar Associations screening of federal court nominees.
I am not surprised about that because Judge Massiah-Jackson is exactly the kind of quality candidate we need to have nominated to sit on the Eastern District bench.
Let me tell you what we know about Judge Massiah-Jackson and her exemplary professional record. After graduating from Chestnut Hill College with a degree in political science, Judge Massiah-Jackson then enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where she earned her law degree. Upon graduation, Judge Massiah-Jackson served a full clerkship with the then Honorable, soon to be Chief Justice, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Robert N.C. Nix, Jr.
Judge Massiah-Jackson then joined the Philadelphia law firm of Blank, Rome, Comisky and McCauley where she was involved in all aspects of civil and criminal litigation. In 1979, Judge Massiah-Jackson took a leave of absence from her practice at Blank, Rome to work for the Pennsylvania Senate in order to gain additional experience with the legislature and legislative process. On the Senate staff, she directed a special statewide Senate investigation as Chief Counsel to the special Senate Committee to Investigate Significant Business Closings, and also served as Chief Counsel to the Senate Insurance Committee. In March 1981, Judge Massiah-Jackson returned to Blank, Rome where she resumed her commercial litigation practice.
In 1983, she ran for her first term as a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge, earning a recommended rating from our Commission on Judicial Selection and Retention. She won that election and served her first eight years in the Criminal Division. In 1991, she was reassigned to the Civil Trial Division, becoming the first African-American woman to preside in the Philadelphia Common Pleas Courts Civil Division. In 1993, Judge Massiah-Jackson stood for retention election; the poll of Philadelphia lawyers regarding retention judges revealed nothing troubling about Judge Massiah-Jacksons tenure on the Common Pleas Court bench and our Bars Commission on Judicial Selection and Retention recommended that she be retained as a Common Pleas Court judge.
Maybe a better barometer of Judge Massiah-Jacksons worth is a sampling of written comments she has received from lawyers, litigants and others with whom Judge Massiah-Jackson has come into contact. In a January, 1993 letter to then administrative Judge Alex Bonavitacola, attorney Thomas F. Johnson wrote,
The judges of your court take a lot of heat, from the press, the public and the bar. Some of it is deserved. But I want you to know that we can also see superior performance when we see it. Judge Frederica A. Massiah-Jackson made the difference in this case between years of further litigation, and letting the parties get on with their lives after they were given their day in court. I wanted to let you know that we all appreciated it.
In 1990, an alternate juror wrote directly to Judge Massiah-Jackson, thanking her for the opportunity to work with her and her staff, saying
I remember being very upset upon receiving my summons to appear as a potential juror. ... I also remember being escorted to your courtroom ... and feeling apprehensive. Upon arriving in your courtroom, I thought that if I had to be selected to serve as a juror, I wanted to do so in your courtroom. There was something about you that made me feel at ease and I felt that justice would surely be served.
In addition to her positive presence on the trial bench, Judge Massiah-Jackson has also been an active, positive force in the community, particularly in areas affecting children. She frequently serves as a judge for school-based mock trial and moot court competitions, and in that capacity, has earned respect both personally and for the judicial system she represents. In 1991, Beth Farnbach, then Executive Director of Temple Universitys Law, Education & Participation project (Temple LEAP) wrote to communicate responses to Judge Massiah-Jacksons participation in a law-related education conference:
LEAP has run a lot of conferences over the years and weve had lots of wonderful speakers. But I dont think weve ever had such an overwhelming response from our guests. They thought you were superb and so did we. The written evaluations came back with words such as informative, relevant, outstanding.... These were some of my favorite written comments: Her personality is electrifying.... She was a judge who was a real person - approachable and knowledgeable....
As an ambassador for the judicial system in Philadelphia, Judge Massiah-Jackson has clearly made a positive impact. A letter to Judge Massiah-Jackson in 1991 from Sarah Lawhorne, Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of the Pennsylvania Medical Society Liability Insurance Program, wrote:
I attended the mock trial over which you presided on Saturday.... Despite the unfortunate construction activity outdoors, I was very impressed by the program. More important, I was impressed by your willingness to devote considerable time for this activity and to provide the gentle yet strong guidance which you [gave] to the two teams. You maintained a judicial presence while encouraging students to be comfortable enough to perform to their best.
David Ridgway, then Assistant Principal at Philadelphias Overbrook High School, wrote to Judge Massiah-Jackson in 1990: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to address the students in the Scholars program.... I know the message that you delivered ... will help our students make the right choices in life.
Clearly, Judge Massiah-Jackson is someone who cares deeply about the development of her own skills - witness her leave of absence from her prestigious civil practice at Blank, Rome in order to gain broader legal skills and experience. She is someone who takes her judicial responsibilities seriously and who by all accounts is extremely hardworking, a quality which she also engenders in her staff. She is someone who takes seriously the lawyers obligation to give back, as demonstrated by her extensive community activities.
I spoke earlier about the need for nomination and confirmation of quality candidates to fill our five Eastern District vacancies. I guess Im a little bit like the late Justice Potter Stewart and pornography - Im not sure how I would define quality in this context, but I do know it when I see it. Judge Massiah-Jackson is a compelling example of a quality nominee and precisely the kind of person we need to have on the Eastern District bench.
Thank you again for giving me an opportunity to speak on behalf of Judge Massiah-Jacksons nomination.

The ISEQ rose sharply this morning after both CRH and Kerry Group posted full year earnings reports.
By 12:30, the ISEQ was up 60.85 points to 5,115.04.
Shares in CRH surged 97c to E21.34 after it said 2013 should represent the trough in its profits as the construction market in the United States improves and the European economy stabilises. After an unusually long period of bad weather led to a sharp fall in first-half earnings, CRH said today revenue rose 2 percent in the second half of the year, with a smaller decline in Europe boosted by a 5 percent increase in the United States. Full-year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to 1.48 billion euros, ahead of guidance given in November, the Dublin-based group said. "We believe that 2013 represents the trough in our profits, and that 2014 will be a year of profit growth," said chief executive Albert Manifold, who took over last month following the retirement of Myles Lee. "We are encouraged by second-half activity levels in 2013 and by the fact that, while it is still early in the season, trading so far in 2014 has been ahead of last year."
Kerry's stocks climbed 22c to E52.25 after it reported increased trading profits for 2013 after what it called a "solid financial performance". Kerry said its trading profits rose by 9.4pc to E611.4m from E559m in 2012, but pre-tax profits fell to E121.9m from E315.5m the previous year. Revenues for the year dipped slightly to E5.836 billion from E5.848 billion. The company said that continuing business volumes during the year rose by 3pc and pricing rose by 1.6pc, which broadly offset input cost inflation of about 4pc. The Kerry board said it was recommending a final dividend of 28 cent per share, up 12pc on the final dividend in 2012. Along with the interim dividend of 12 cent per share, this brings the total dividend for the year to 40 cent, up 11.7pc on 2012.
