The School of the Arts at Dean College will perform Urinetown: the
musical beginning Wednesday, November 19, 2014 through Sunday, November
23, 2014.
Urinetown: the musical tells the story of a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20- year drought, and a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. This is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. You won't want to miss this exciting performance by our very own Dean College students!
The Dean College production of Urinetown: the musical will take place on the Main Stage within the Campus Center at Dean College at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, with additional matinee performances at 2:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $5/$10/$20 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 508-541-1605 or by visiting www.dean.edu/urinetown.

Q: How does the second championship compare to the first?
COUGHLIN: We have a good, efficient program. We qualified well, we were making good, straight runs and that gave me more confidence as a driver and it gave the guys on the team confidence that they were making the right calls. When it boiled down to each run, they were forecasting the conditions for each run very well. Conditions from Friday to Sunday changed so dramatically that it was not uncommon for us to run two or three drastically different setups. The experience that we gained over the last three or four years helped put us out in front.
Q: How did the team turn around the program? What was the difference?
Q: What are the chances of repeating in 2003?
Q: Are there any changes planned for Team Jeg's going into 2003? Will your
brother Mike Coughlin join the Pro Stock ranks full time?
COUGHLIN: I think there were a couple of them. We tested after Pomona and that gave us a heck of a lot of confidence and it helped build our database. We started making more horsepower and then we saw improvements on our fuel and timing related issues as well as a clutch issue that was plaguing us. We just started racing hard and the best thing we could have done was making a lot of advance preparations and making smart decisions. That's what helped us win the championship.
Q: Who provided the most competition to you this season?
Q: You led Chevrolet to their first Manufacturer's Cup Award in 15 years. What
are your thoughts on that?

New Work: Albertine
Uniquely devoted to French works in French and English, Albertine is a new bookshop and reading room opened by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York. The only French-language bookstore in the city, Albertine offers the most comprehensive selection of French-language books and English translations in the United States, with over 14,000 titles from 30 French-speaking countries in genres including novels, non-fiction, art, comics and graphic novels, and children's books.
Pentagram's Abbott Miller has designed a distinctive new identity for Albertine inspired by French vernacular typography. Miller and his team worked closely on the project with the store's founder, Antonin Baudry, the Cultural Counselor of the French Embassy. The shop has been envisioned as less a retail space than a reading room that invites visitors to linger, and the identity invokes the connection between books, knowledge, and Enlightenment, with references to Parisian Art Deco.
Albertine is celebrating its opening this week with a six-night festival that showcases the store as a new hub for French-American intellectual exchange and debate. Curated by cultural critic Greil Marcus, the event runs from October 14-19 and features discussions with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, filmmaker Olivier Assayas (Irma Vep) and author and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis).

Savannah State 57
(1-2, 0-2 away)
(8) Georgia 94
(5-0, 5-0 home)
7:00 PM ET, November 20, 2012
Stegeman Coliseum, Athens, Georgia
ATHENS, Ga. -- The No. 799 went up on a whiteboard in Georgia's locker room earlier this week.The Lady Bulldogs were sending a message to coach Andy Landers that they knew about his impending milestone.Landers became the seventh Division I women's coach to reach 800 career victories when No. 8 Georgia beat Savannah State 94-57 on Tuesday night."They put it up after the last game. They thought that was cute," Landers said. "I didn't even know they knew about it. I think they were kind of giddy. If this kind of thing is something that kids find to be fun, and they take a lot of pride in it, it's a good thing."Landers, who is 800-268 in his 34th season at Georgia, was presented with a framed red team jersey with the No. 800 on it in a postgame ceremony.He became the school's first full-time women's basketball coach when he was hired in 1979 and has led the Lady Bulldogs to seven SEC regular-season titles, four SEC tournament championships and five Final Four appearances."(This is) not something that's been on my radar. It is what it is. It happened," Landers said. "At some point, maybe later. Ten years from now. Fifteen years from now. Twenty years from now, if I live that long, I'll look back and say, 'Wow.' But today, we're just out there doing what we do."Jasmine James scored 18 points and freshman Tiaria Griffin added a career-high 15 for the Lady Bulldogs (5-0), who played their fourth games in seven days.Andrietta Thomas led Savannah State (1-2) with 22 points.Georgia led by as many as 38 points, forced 25 turnovers and outrebounded the Lady Tigers 44-26."Rebounding has been an Achilles heel for us this year, and they had great size inside and they pounded on the boards," Savannah State coach Cedric Baker said. "I think if we had rebounded better and controlled tempo and not given up so many second-chance shots and turnovers in the backcourt, it probably would have been a closer game and margin."The Lady Bulldogs used a 16-2 run to take a 37-13 lead with 7:38 left in the first half. Griffin and fellow freshmen Marjorie Butler each scored six points to key the run.Jasmine Hassell added 14 points for the Lady Bulldogs, who shot 50.7 percent from the field (38 of 75).Hassell, a senior, surpassed 1,000 career points and now has 1,004."To be honest, I didn't know about it," Hassell said. "When we were in the huddle, people were patting me on the back. I was like, 'Why do they keep patting me on my back?' And somebody said it. It's a blessing and honor."Georgia dominated from the outset, taking a 27-11 lead 10 minutes into the game.Landers started freshmen Merritt Hempe and Shacobia Barbee and then substituted his starting five with another group that included Butler and Griffin.Eleven Georgia players scored in the rout."We had a lot of people play well, and some had more opportunity to play better and they cashed in on it," Landers said. "I say it all the time, but basketball is such a game of opportunity."Hassell scored the first basket of Georgia's 16-2 run, but freshmen accounted for the rest with Butler and Griffin alternating the scoring.After Hempe scored, Butler made two free throws.Griffin came back with a 3-pointer for a 30-13 lead with 9:35 left, before Butler hit a jumper. Griffin hit another 3-pointer before Butler closed the run with a layup to give Georgia a 37-13 advantage.Barbee hit a 3-pointer with 13:24 left to give the Lady Bulldogs a 63-35 lead.Ezinne Kalu, Savannah State's leading scorer, picked up her second foul with 14:24 left in the first half and had 10 points, 7.5 points below her average.

AS Roma legend and former coach Carlo Mazzone has sympathy for Claudio Ranieri after his resignation yesterday.
Ranieri made the decision after defeat to Genoa.
"I am sad for Ranieri, because I know how it feels to be there right now and how much he is suffering," said Mazzone.
"It's a doomed year and so the Coach pays the price, as is always the case when a team loses."
There has been constant speculation of trouble in the locker room, especially with Francesco Totti, Mirko Vucinic and David Pizarro.
"I don't think the players got rid of their Coach. It doesn't happen for a player to go on the field and play to upset their tactician. Only those who don't know football can think that.
"Today's result was amazing, but that doesn't mean they were playing to lose. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone 3-0 up.
"The players who moaned and caused controversy with Ranieri didn't just do it with him. They've got previous at this sort of thing."

DOD Personnel Clearances:
New Concerns Slow Processing of Clearances for Industry Personnel
GAO-06-748T: Published: May 17, 2006. Publicly Released: May 17, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-5559
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense (DOD) is responsible for about 2 million active personnel security clearances. About one-third of the clearances are for industry personnel working on contracts for DOD and more than 20 other executive agencies. Delays in determining eligibility for a clearance can heighten the risk that classified information will be disclosed to unauthorized sources and increase contract costs and problems attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Long-standing delays in completing hundreds of thousands of clearance requests and numerous impediments that hinder DOD's ability to accurately estimate and eliminate its clearance backlog led GAO to declare DOD's personnel security clearance program a high-risk area in January 2005. This testimony presents GAO's (1) preliminary observations from its ongoing review of the timeliness and completeness of clearances, (2) concerns about the upcoming expiration of an executive order that has resulted in high level commitment to improving the governmentwide clearance process, and (3) views on factors underlying DOD's decision to stop accepting clearance requests for industry personnel.
GAO's ongoing review of the timeliness and completeness of security clearance processes for industry personnel has provided three preliminary observations. First, communication problems between DOD and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) may be limiting governmentwide efforts to improve the personnel security clearance process. Second, OPM faces performance problems due to the inexperience of its domestic investigative workforce, and it is still in the process of developing a foreign presence to investigate leads overseas. Third, some DOD adjudication facilities have stopped accepting closed pending cases--that is, investigations formerly forwarded to DOD adjudicators from OPM--even though some required investigative information was not included. In addition, the expiration of Executive Order 13381 could slow improvements in the security clearance processes governmentwide, as well as for DOD in particular. The executive order, which among other things delegated responsibility for improving the clearance process to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is set to expire on July 1, 2006. GAO has been encouraged by the high level of commitment that OMB has demonstrated in the development of a plan to address clearance-related problems. Because there has been no indication that the executive order will be extended, GAO is concerned about whether the progress that has resulted from OMB's high-level management involvement will continue. Issues such as OPM's need to establish an overseas presence are discussed as potential reasons why OPM may not be in a position to assume an additional high-level commitment if OMB does not continue in its current role. Finally, inaccurate projections of clearance requests and funding constraints are delaying the processing of security clearance requests for industry personnel. DOD stopped processing new applications for clearance investigations for industry personnel on April 28, 2006. DOD attributed its actions, in part, to an overwhelming volume of requests for industry personnel security investigations. DOD's long-standing inability to accurately project its security clearance workload makes it difficult to determine clearance-related budgets and staffing requirements. The funding constraints that also underlie the stoppage are related to the transfer of DOD's personnel security investigations functions to OPM. DOD has questioned some of the costs being charged by OPM and has asked OMB to mediate the DOD-OPM dispute. Information from the two agencies indicates that OMB has directed the agencies to continue to work together to resolve the matter. According to officials in the DOD and OPM inspector general offices, they are investigating the billing dispute and expect to report on the results of their investigations this summer.

Can a Christian Support Abortion?
in Religion
Join this power packed episode where Chris and Rich pull the velvet off the hammer and discuss the recent news articles regarding abortion worker Callie Chatman, wife of an Alabama Baptist Preacher. Recently Callie Chatman made several comments defending her work at a local abortuary. One of her defense statements: "I feel that we have all sinned." Can this statement justify supporting abortion?
The question we pose and will be discussing among other things is this, "Can a Christian Support Abortion?"

Hr2 Father Frank Pavone with Priests for Life talks about abortion and the damaging affects to women, children, and families, even grandparents.
Hr3 Ron Hosko – Former Assistant FBI Director and current President at Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund. .. Breaking down Fergison report.
Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately?
There are always at least two sides to every story. Have you ever wondered how someone, who saw the same thing you did, walked away telling a vastly different story? Which version was correct? Which one was the REAL story? Actually, both are! It's just a matter of perspective.
Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting.
But the conversation is always respectful and you're sure to learn something new, even if you don't agree!
If you've always wondered how the "other side" thinks and how they've arrived at their "stand", then this is the show for you!
It's not the right side, it's not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!
Hating God - Abortion Ethics

Abortion is the Termination of a Pregnancy by means of medical or surgical intervention.
in Lifestyle
Not to qibble but for centuries the argument has been out there for all to consider. Is occult study the result of religion failing? Add the tincture of time to an occult topic and it becomes safe, even commonplace. What just happened? Are we smarter? Is that insight? Have we learned something? If we expect faith to answer ethical questions of life, we find ourselves drawn to a secular atmosphere- democracy. With all the deceits and conceits of man, whether we will it into existence or cannot see it, it comes.
Masonry came along at a time when Europe had paid the horrible price of intolerance. But the lessons of those days have faded. We don't think anymore about the Peace of Westphalia that set in motion the world order in place today. Lessons needed to confirm the ethics of a 21st century freemason need contemporary relevance; adding recent history to the conversation prepares the Craft for that day 100 years ahead. The balance we promote- between past, present and future is undoubtedly platonism- metaphysical. And now, 21st century man, considers a world bereft of gods and devils and looks into the abyss to define the appetite for consciousness unable to lean on superstitions. Nothing is off the table. It is for a reason that masons have held this middle ground of being and becoming. What do they see?
The world may be a dangerous jungle but there is a choice whether one lives in fear or not as history repeats itself. Is the mind the safe sanctuary? Even masons acknowledge the existence of the occult in intimate corners in small groups while the very idea continues to upset others, whether we understand a concept, it exists.
Black Genocide: Abortion
Abortion is the #1 killer of black people since 1973. 13 million black children have died at the hands of abortion doctors and their mothers conscience choice to kill the baby. The sad fact that the most dangerous place for a black child is in the womb of a black woman. This is based on facts and not hate propaganda for black women. We must stop committing genocide against our own people.

Abortion: Pro-Life or Pro-Choice? [Setting The Tone Radio LIVE]
in Parents
About This Episode (Abortion: Pro-Life or Pro-Choice?)
Induced abortion laws have come a long way. In fact, until 2013, Iowa allowed telemedicine abortions, where women could tele-conference with a physician and click a button to unlock the drawer containing mifepristone, the first of two pills used to perform medically-induced abortions.
Globally, there are about 44 million induced abortions each year, but this is not a new phenomenon. They have been performed since ancient times by use of herbal medicines, sharpened tools, physical trauma, and other traditional methods. Today, unsafe abortions are a major cause of injury and death among women worldwide with approximately 20 million unsafe abortions are performed annually; 97% taking place in developing countries.
This is the question we pose this episode! We want to know you thoughts on abortions. Is it moral wrong or simply a choice? Your thoughts are welcome. Tune in at 7 PM EST at 646-200-0246.

Discussion in 'Disney Restaurants' started by itsmeamanda, Jan 3, 2013.
The pizza is absolutely delicious! We can't wait to return!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
I'd say it's a must-try. The pizza is very good. It's one of my favorite pizza's I've ever had. The service isn't always stellar, they can be slow with refills on drinks, but the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
If you don't like it, at least you tried. I'd order a single pizza to share between two people. They are quite large.
Definitely large! DH likes prosciutto though, so he got his own. We got a to-go box with the leftovers.
If you can't get a reservation, there is a standby line for outside seating. When I was there this past week I saw various parties being seated, from parties of 2 to parties of 7. There is an outside podium for this; reservations go to the inside check-in desk.
Via Napoli does not sell pizza by the slice, not in the restaurant nor at the window! I think is very good pizza, they also have a very good appetizer platter, the frito misto that's for 2 but really feeds 3 or 4 in my opinion. It has calamari, tempura type deep fried veggies, arancini. If I were just interested in pasta I would eat elsewhere!
We loved their pizza! It is definitely more of an "Italian-style pizza" as opposed to a "General American-style" pizza. The sauce is more of a chunky tomato sauce...you get more of a tomato taste as opposed to a little tomato with a lot of spice taste. We got one of their specialty pizzas it was sectioned off into 4 parts: Prosciutto, Sautéed Mushrooms, Artichokes, and Eggplant. It was absolutely delicious! And might I suggest the Arancini as an appetizer (fried risotto, cheese, and meat balls served with a tomato sauce)....amazing!
On December 30th they were advising if you just wanted slices of pizza and did not want wait for a table you can go to the take out window. This may just be opened during the holiday season.
Yes but from my understanding, the pizza is Disney pizza. Not via. Via has never sold it by the slice. Everyone i know who has bought the slice said its Disney pizza. Im curious to know if anyone on here actually bought pizza from the window before.
That's a good question, like i previously said the sign stated it was about 6 or 7 bucks a slice, which when an individual pizza is 17 makes sense, but it its disney pizza that really is unfortunate.
Yep. Very unfortunate. Lol. It got me thinking. If it was in fact via pizza, wouldn't we be hearing everyone rave about it by now? Lol. But who knows. Hopefully someone, who has bought pizza from the window, can chime in.
When did you have pizza from this window?
I was there in late November and it was most definitely the Via Napoli pizza!
Not me. My sister and also a friend. In the past when they bought it they both said it was definitely not via pizza, but the typical Dis pizza. You say it was in November? Maybe this is a new thing they're doing now!? Thanks for sharing. Im excited now! It means i have a chance to get it by the slice during peak periods as well!!!! Yay!!!!!
Is pizza the only reason to go to Via Napoli? How are the entrees?
If you are on the DDP what does that entitle you to order?
My husband and I really enjoyed the pizza here. I have reservations for his birthday in June for the whole family, hoping it's still as yummy as before.
My DH had the candele pasta and said it was very good.
On the DDP you can order an entree or individual pizza and any dessert on the menu. The Coppa di Brutti ma Buoni ("Ugly but Good") sundae is great.
On the DxDDP the entitlements are the same as the DDP plus an appetizer. If more than one person is on the DxDDP you can order the Fritto Misto sampler platter. Otherwise the arancini is one of our favorite appetizers.
On the dining plan you can each order an individual pizza. Via Nap will not let you use one credit to share an individual pizza. There have been mixed reports on whether you can combine credits (and how many) to order a larger pizza.
Its some awesome pizza, but if you're eating in Italy I suggest Toto's Italia

Gann Angles on the Dow Jones Industrials – Update
by Chart School - March 28th, 2015 6:21 pm
Courtesy of Read the Ticker.
A trend lines requires 2 points to draw, and Gann Angle only requires 1 point, a huge difference. Something is going to break soon!
Previous Post here
Simply that Gann Angle is not determined by price pivot points at the last price end, where as a trend line is. That is the beauty!
Price is still holding true to the blue 2×1 Gann Angle. This angle is the demand line, this is why we need to pay attention to it.
As stated before .."As you can see price is now entering a pinch zone, it will bust out either way."… soon the fun will start.

World Markets Weekend Update
by Chart School - March 28th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Doug Short.
Only two of the eight indexes on my world market watch, list posted a weekly gain. The top performing Shanghai Composite rose 2.04%, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng as a distant second at 0.46%. The losses of the other six indexes ranged from -1.05% to -2.84%, with the average of the eight at -1.10%, the worst since the -1.21% at the end of January.
Here is an overlay of the eight for a sense of their comparative performance so far in 2015.
Here is a table of the 2015 data performance, sorted from high to low, along with the interim highs for the eight indexes. Seven of eight indexes are in the green, with Germany's DAXK up over 20%. At the bottom of the list, India's SENSEX is fractionally in the red, the US's S&P 500 is up a tiny 0.10%.
A Closer Look at the Last Four Weeks
The tables below provide a concise overview of performance comparisons over the past four weeks (through year's end) for these eight major indexes. I've also included the average for each week so that we can evaluate the performance of a specific index relative to the overall mean and better understand weekly volatility. The colors for each index name help us visualize the comparative performance over time.
The chart below illustrates the comparative performance of World Markets since March 9, 2009. The start date is arbitrary: The S&P 500, CAC 40 and BSE SENSEX hit their lows on March 9th, the Nikkei 225 on March 10th, the DAX on March 6th, the FTSE on March 3rd, the Shanghai Composite on November 4, 2008, and the Hang Seng even earlier on October 27, 2008. However, by aligning on the same day and measuring the percent change, we get a better sense of the relative performance than if we align the lows.
A Longer Look Back
Here is the same chart starting from the turn of 21st century. The relative over-performance of the emerging markets (Shanghai, Mumbai SENSEX and Hang Seng) up to their 2007 peaks is evident, and the SENSEX remains by far the top performer. The Shanghai, in contrast, formed a perfect Eiffel Tower from late 2006 to late 2009.…
Q4 GDP Third Estimate Remains Unchanged at 2.2%
by Chart School - March 27th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Doug Short.
The Third Estimate for Q4 GDP, to one decimal, came in at 2.2 percent, unchanged from the Second Estimate. Today's number was a minor disappointment for most economic forecasts, which were looking for a somewhat higher Third Estimate. For example, both Investing.com and Briefing.com had forecast of 2.4 percent.
Here is an excerpt from the Bureau of Economic Analysis news release:
Real gross domestic product — the value of the production of goods and services in the United States, adjusted for price changes — increased at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014, according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the third quarter, real GDP increased 5.0 percent.
The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the "second" estimate issued last month. In the second estimate, the increase in real GDP was also 2.2 percent. While increases in exports and in personal consumption expenditures (PCE) were larger than previously estimated and the change in private inventories was smaller, GDP growth is unrevised, and the general picture of the economy for the fourth quarter remains the same (see "Revisions" on page 3).
The increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter reflected positive contributions from PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, state and local government spending, and residential fixed investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from federal government spending and private inventory investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
The deceleration in real GDP growth in the fourth quarter primarily reflected an upturn in imports, a downturn in federal government spending, a deceleration in nonresidential fixed investment, and a larger decrease in private inventory investment that were partly offset by accelerations in PCE and in state and local government spending. [Full Release]
Here is a look at GDP since Q2 1947 together with the real (inflation-adjusted) S&P Composite. The start date is when the BEA began reporting GDP on a quarterly basis. Prior to 1947, GDP was reported annually. To be more precise, what the lower half of the chart shows is the percent change from the preceding period in Real (inflation-adjusted) Gross Domestic Product. I've also included…
Median Household Income Up Slightly in February
by Chart School - March 27th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Doug Short.
Summary: The Sentier Research monthly median household income data series is now available for February. The nominal median household income was up $178 month-over-month and up $1,409 year-over-year. That's a 0.3% MoM gain and 2.7% YoY. Adjusted for inflation, the numbers were up $60 MoM and $1447 YoY. The real numbers equate to a 0.1% monthly increase and a 2.7% yearly increase.
In real dollar terms, the median annual income is 4.5% lower ($2,580) than its interim high in January 2008 but well off its low in August 2011.
Background on Sentier Research
The traditional source of household income data is the Census Bureau, which publishes annual household income data in mid-September for the previous year.
Sentier Research, an organization that focuses on income and demographics, offers a more up-to-date glimpse of household incomes by accessing the Census Bureau data and publishing monthly updates. Sentier Research has now released its most recent update, data through November (available here). The numbers in their report differ from the Census Bureau's in three key respects:
- It is a monthly rather than annual series, which gives a more granular view of trends.
- Their numbers are more current. The Census Bureau's 2012 data will remain its latest until September 18, 2014.
- Sentier Research uses the more familiar Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the inflation adjustment. The Census Bureau uses the little-known CPI-U-RS (RS stands for "research series") as the deflator for their annual data. For more on that topic, see this commentary.
Monthly Median Household Income Since 2000
The first chart below is an overlay of the nominal values and real monthly values chained in November 2014 dollars. The red line illustrates the history of nominal median household, and the blue line shows the real (inflation-adjusted value). I've added callouts to show specific nominal and real monthly values for January 2000 start date and the peak and post-peak troughs.
In the latest press release, Sentier Research spokesman Gordon Green summarizes the recent data:
Even though there was not a statistically significant increase in median income between January and February, there has been a general upward trend in
Michigan Consumer Sentiment at 93.0, An Improvement from the March Preliminary
by Chart School - March 27th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Doug Short.
The University of Michigan final Consumer Sentiment for March came in at 93.0, up from the 91.2 March preliminary reading but down from the final reading of 95.4 in February and the 98.1 level in January. Investing.com had forecast 92.0 for the March final.
See the chart below for a long-term perspective on this widely watched indicator. I've highlighted recessions and included real GDP to help evaluate the correlation between the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index and the broader economy.
To put today's report into the larger historical context since its beginning in 1978, consumer sentiment is now 9 percent above the average reading (arithmetic mean) and 11 percent above the geometric mean. The current index level is at the 70th percentile of the 447 monthly data points in this series.
The Michigan average since its inception is 85.2. During non-recessionary years the average is 87.4. The average during the five recessions is 69.3. So the latest sentiment number puts us 23.7 points above the average recession mindset and 5.5 points above the non-recession average.
Note that this indicator is somewhat volatile with a 3.1 point absolute average monthly change. The latest data point was a 2.4 point change. For a visual sense of the volatility, here is a chart with the monthly data and a three-month moving average.
For the sake of comparison, here is a chart of the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index (monthly update here). The Conference Board Index is the more volatile of the two, but the broad pattern and general trends have been remarkably similar to the Michigan Index.
And finally, the prevailing mood of the Michigan survey is also similar to the mood of small business owners, as captured by the NFIB Business Optimism Index (monthly update here).
The general trend in the Michigan Sentiment Index since the Financial Crisis lows had been one of slow improvement. But it is now off its dramatic eleven-year high set in January.
S&P 500 Snapshot: Selloff Ends with a Modest Gain
by Chart School - March 27th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Doug Short.
Friday was a mixed bag of economic data. Hopes for an upward revision to Third Estimate of Q4 GDP were disappointed when the BEA left the annualized rate at 2.2%. The final Michigan Consumer Sentiment for March was an improvement on the preliminary reading, but it was below the February final and well off the January 11-year high. The S&P 500 spent the day in a narrow range, ending with a modest 0.24% gain, which snapped a four-day selloff. The index was down 2.33% for the week, its second worst weekly performance of 2015 (the worst being the -2.77% plunge in late January).
The yield on the 10-year Note fell 7 bps to 1.95%.
Here is a 15-minute chart of the past five sessions.
Here is a weekly chart of the index, which is now a bit below its 10-week moving average. Volume was unremarkable.
A Perspective on Drawdowns
Here's a snapshot of selloffs since the 2009 trough.
For a longer-term perspective, here is a charts base on daily closes since the all-time high prior to the Great Recession.
Nasdaq finishes on 50-day MA
by Chart School - March 26th, 2015 7:35 pm
Courtesy of Declan.
There was some carryover from yesterday's heavy day of selling. My tracking of ETF alerts for Zignals didn't mark a trend reversal for ultrashort ETFs, only ultralongs; suggesting yesterday's selling was primarily driven by profit taking and not shorting activity. Today's action brought indices closer to support, which slowed the rate of loss.
The S&P closed with a neutral 'spinning top' on lighter volume. The 50-day MA didn't offer much support, but the low at 2,039 remains valid.
The Nasdaq dug in at the 50-day MA, reclaiming the swing low in the process. Tomorrow is set up for a rally to challenge the 20-day MA; an area where shorts may look to get aggressive. Today also closed with a 'sell' trigger in On-Balance-Volume.
The other index to watch is the Semiconductor Index. Today's session recovery occurred just above converged 660 and 200-day MA support. While it's one of the hardest hit indices, it perhaps offers the best chance for a relief bounce gain,
Just for completions sake, the Russell 2000 finished well above its swing low, but between 20-day and 50-day MAs. A move back to the 50-day MA converging with 1220 support could offer longs an opportunity; stops on a loss of 1206.
After yesterday's rough and tumble there was always going to be a risk of some carryover into today. With swing low support nearby tomorrow may see a tentative return of bulls, although once bitten twice shy buyers may struggle to make it back to highs. Large Caps remain more vulnerable to selling and shorts than either Small Caps or Tech indices.
You've now read my opinion, next read Douglas' and Jani's.

The Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) data on volume sales is over two months old when it released. The latest numbers, through mid-January, are now available. However, despite the lag, this report offers an interesting perspective on fascinating aspects of the US economy. Gasoline prices and increases in fuel efficiency are important factors, but there are also some significant demographic and cultural dynamics in this data series.
Because the sales data are highly volatile with some obvious seasonality, I've added a 12-month moving average (MA) to give a clearer indication of the long-term trends. The latest 12-month MA is 8.2% below the all-time high set in August 2005 and fractionally off the interim low set in August 2014.
The next chart includes an overlay of real monthly retail gasoline prices, all grades and formulations, adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (the red line). I've shortened the timeline to start with EIA price series, which dates from August 1990. The retail prices are updated weekly, so the price series is the more current of the two.
As we would expect, the rapid rise in gasoline prices in 2008 was accompanied by a significant drop in sales volume. With the official end of the recession in June 2009, sales reversed direction … slightly. The 12-month MA hit an interim high in November 2010, and then resumed contraction. The moving average for the latest month is 7.9% below the pre-recession level and 4.8% off the November 2010 interim high. For some historical context, the latest data point is a level first achieved in May 1998.
Some of the shrinkage in sales can be attributed to more fuel-efficient cars. But that presumably would be relatively small over shorter time frames and would be offset to some extent by population growth. For some specifics on fuel efficiency, see the Eco-Driving Index for new vehicles developed by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. However, if we look at Edmunds.com for data on the top 10 best-selling…
S&P 500 Snapshot: Four-Day Selloff

Courtesy of Doug Short.
The S&P 500 dropped at the open, despite a good jobless claims report, and hit its -0.75% intraday low. A slow rally took the index to its 0.30% intraday high in the early afternoon. But subsequent selling pushed the index back into the red. It closed with a modest 0.24% decline, the forth consecutive daily loss.
The yield on the 10-year Note rose 8 bps to 2.01%.
Here is a 15-minute chart of the past five sessions.
Here is a daily chart of the index, where trading volume was right at its 50-day moving average.

New Jobless Claims at 282K, Better than Forecast
by Chart School - March 26th, 2015 12:00 am
Courtesy of Doug Short.
Here is the opening statement from the Department of Labor:
In the week ending March 21, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 282,000, a decrease of 9,000 from the previous week's unrevised level of 291,000. The 4-week moving average was 297,000, a decrease of 7,750 from the previous week's unrevised average of 304,750.
There were no special factors impacting this week's initial claims. [See full report]
Today's seasonally adjusted 282K beat the Investing.com forecast of 290K. The four-week moving average at 297,000 is now 18,000 above its 14-year interim low set in early November of last year.
Here is a close look at the data over the past few years (with a callout for the past year), which gives a clearer sense of the overall trend in relation to the last recession and the volatility in recent months.
As we can see, there's a good bit of volatility in this indicator, which is why the 4-week moving average (the highlighted number) is a more useful number than the weekly data. Here is the complete data series.
The headline BLS data is seasonally adjusted. What does the non-seasonally adjusted data look like. See the chart below, which clearly shows extreme volatility of the non-adjusted data (the red dots). The 4-week MA gives an indication of the recurring pattern of seasonal change (note, for example, those regular January spikes).
Because of the extreme volatility of the non-adjusted weekly data, we can add a 52-week moving average to give a better sense of the secular trends. The chart below also has a linear regression through the data. We can see that this metric continues to fall below the long-term trend stretching back to 1968.

Christopher Heine | February 16, 2011 | Comments
Study finds relevancy and frequency as chief culprits to why unlikes, unfollows, and unsubscribes occur.
New research by ExactTarget-CoTweet blames overly frequent messaging and poor relevancy as major reasons to why consumers opt out of a company's Facebook page, Twitter feed, and e-mail list.
The messaging services firms surveyed 1,561 U.S. online users age 15 and up from Dec. 17, 2010 through Jan. 10, 2011. According to their report, here are some of the top reasons why consumers quit brands online for…
- company authored too many posts (44 percent);
- their wall became glutted with marketing (43 percent);
- messages were repetitive and boring (38 percent);
- posts were overly promotional (24 percent);
- content was irrelevant from the start (19 percent).
- messages were repetitive and boring (52 percent);
- tweet stream became inundated with marketing (41 percent);
- company tweeted too frequently (39 percent);
- tweets were overly promotional (21 percent);
- content was irrelevant from the start (15 percent).
- messages sent too frequently (54 percent);
- content became repetitive and boring (49 percent);
- too many e-mails were being sent by the brand (47 percent);
- messages were irrelevant from the start (25 percent);
- subscribed purely to get a one-time offer (22 percent).
In terms of that last e-mail item, Facebook and Twitter marketers also have concerns with serial deal seekers. Twenty-six percent of those surveyed said they only "liked" a brand to grab a special offer on Facebook, while 27 percent stated they acted similarly on Twitter. Conversely, respondents said they opted out of Facebook (24 percent) and Twitter (27 percent) pages due to not getting enough deals.
Only 6 percent said they opted out of e-mail lists because they could instead get the same information on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. It's a data point that veteran direct marketers who have transitioned over to e-mail should find encouraging.

Columbus Double Murder Suspect Wounded By Police
Columbus police say a double murder suspect was shot and wounded Wednesday by officers near Parsons Avenue and Kossuth Street. He was taken into custody shortly after the killings.
The Ohio Supreme Court is considering a case involving child prostitution.
Bill Clinton today campaigned for his wife in Southern Ohio. The Former President made stops in Portsmouth, Athens and Lancaster. WOSU's Sam Hendren reports on Bill Clinton's visit to Chillicothe.
Computer systems experts today are working with county children's services agencies to eliminate glitches in a critical data-sharing program. At stake: the safety of thousands of abused or neglected children.
Thousands of Ohioans may not realize that the neighbor's home they are sending their children to for day-care is not licensed by the state. Some legislators and day-care activists are working to change that. They are warning that without a change, some children could die needlessly, and that some already have.
Striking members of a Teamsters Local today picketed the Franklin County Courthouse and tried to drum up support for their position in a labor dispute with the Franklin County Child Support Enforcement Agency. Union and County leaders are scheduled to meet later this afternoon with a state mediator. Workers have been on strike since June 12th.
More than half of the 270 employees at Franklin County's Child Support Enforcement Agency failed to report to work today. It's the first day of a strike by the agency's 140 Teamsters Union members who say they're unhappy with a proposed 2% wage increase and a $50 per month charge for health insurance.
Experts says parents who lose a child to death suffer a devestating grief. One Dublin, Ohio woman who lost her own son is helping others heal.
Thousands of colorful pinwheels are planted in Livingston PArk as a colorful reminder that April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. WOSU's Sabrina Hersi-Issa reports
A California think tank today hung a dollar figure on the economic impact of child care in Ohio. It's a big number. And some child care advocates say they'll use the report to help make a case for more financial help from state and federal lawmakers.
The No Child Left Behind Act, passed by congress in 2002, is intended to force schools to improve by creating testing requirements and milestone goals. And if schools fail to meet the goals, the act offers parents the option of transferring their children from under performing schools, to ones that are doing better. But in Columbus not many parents are taking that option.

I'm no expert about rap or hip-hop–far from it. Loved Public Enemy as a young man, still have Missy Elliott's "The Rain" on the iPod. But aside from the purchase of Kanye West's "The College Dropout" a couple of years ago–on a friend's recommendation that it was great (not for me)–my musical tastes run much more toward the propulsive piano stylings of Robert Glasper, the timeless sophistication of Johnny Hodges, the limpid insights of Maria Joao Pires. And, of course, Cheap Trick.
So I'm a fogey. But I live in our common American culture, and thus breathe the atmosphere of young America's delights, distractions and obsessions. You can't avoid them. We worship youth in this country; there is a kind of hidden message coded in all our media that one must know and at least pretend to enjoy that which the young create and enjoy. "Thou shalt be hip," is the first commandment of the culture. But I'm hopeless in that regard–and glad of it. I miss "The Waltons."
I have a 10-year-old daughter, though, and so I simply can't ignore what goes on in popular culture. And that brings me to the debate about Don Imus, his despicable slur against the Rutgers University women's basketball team, and hip-hop music.
A lot of bloggers and others have noted that what Imus said on the air is no different from what many rappers and hip-hoppers have said in their songs. It's true. Go to any popular lyrics site (like this one), type in the terms Imus used or other racist and misogynist slurs, and see for yourself. Look at rap and hip-hop music videos–but make sure your ten-year-old is out of the room. Much of what you will find in this music is a puerile fantasy of male power, frenzied irresponsibility, and the degradation of women. What's so depressing–as columnist Bob Herbert of The New York Times, educator and actor Bill Cosby, the Rev. Eugene Rivers of The Baker House in Boston, and so many others have pointed out for so long–is that this repugnant fantasy has become an ideal of manhood for far too many young Americans–black and white.
So why is Imus fired for what he said, while so many rappers are idolized for using precisely the same language? Is there a double-standard?
Of course there is. And there is no longer any excuse for it.
There are those who tell us that somehow when a young black man says "bitch" or "ho" or uses the "n-word," it's OK. It's all about the context. It's culturally specific. It's art. It's a black thing–I can't understand.
This attitude was captured in a fine story my ABC News colleague Deborah Roberts filed last night for "World News with Charles Gibson." Deborah interviewed Danyel Smith, who tracks hip-hop for Vibe magazine, and who believes, as Deborah put it, that "the gritty world being described in popular rap lyrics is artistic expression, not to be confused with mainstream name-calling."
"I think there's a difference in a black person saying something about another black person," Smith said. "I think the way those words started out, white people were using them against black people in a way that kept them down."
The rapper Snoop Dogg put it a little more pungently:
"It's a completely different scenario," he said. "[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh–, that's trying to get a n—a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha—-as say we in the same league as him."
All this is pernicious nonsense. "Horsefeathers," as Grandpa Walton might put it.
Most Americans seem to believe–rightly, in my judgment–that you don't get a pass on civility in this country because you're a black man who raps; that you aren't entitled to call women "ho" or "bitch"–whether they're in "the hood" (an exegesis I simply do not buy from Mr. Dogg) or in my family; that just because you claim that a repugnant slur comes from your "mind and soul" does not give you a license to hurl it at people.
And many Americans ask: How is it that so many parents are supposed to tolerate the bombardment of our daughters with the most degrading imagery and language? Because it's promulgated by black artists? Huh? A white man says stuff like that, and he must be fired–but a black man can degrade women and himself, and it's "art"? Where's the real racism there? Which man is being treated as beneath our shared values and standards?
All of the claims for a "culturally specific" exception to civility seem to me to rest on a myth–the myth that somehow hip-hop culture is the pure self-expression of urban black America. But the facts are otherwise. Ask yourself: Who sells this stuff? Who buys it? If it did not sell, would it get made? An honest appraisal of the hip-hop music and fashion market would see it for what it is–the exploitation of a part of black American culture by mega-billion, white-owned and white-controlled corporations who sell the stuff to millions of suburban teen-age white boys. This isn't folk art. It's business–big business. A few black people get rich from it. The rest, one can argue, get degraded.
Perhaps the most salutary thing that could come out of the Imus story is a revolution–a revolution by girls and women, black and white, by their dads and brothers and husbands and friends–a revolution against the utter misogyny that permeates so much of our mass-market, money-driven popular culture. It wouldn't be hip. But it would be hope.

The Case Against Circumcision
> CSI episode and Dr. Phil
I was watching CSI, the episode where the comidian is killed, and I caught a great reference. The dead comedian got some... "lip service" from the bar tender chick; but with some cocaine on his penis. Catherine (the CSI) was confused and made the comment something to the effect, "coke is a numbing agent on the foreskin, or any skin for that matter." But she implied the guy was intact and that was normal. =) Just something silly. =)
Changing gears, the horrible show Dr. Phil did with the mom regretting allowing her son's circ... he has some debate type episodes. Has anyone considered trying to get on to "debate" him on this matter? Part of me would love to. Then I realize that he sets himself up to "win" so he either wouldn't let me because he knows he'd "lose" or he'd twist it so I couldn't make my point.
Frankly Speaking
I've been on several phone-in talk shows and the thing I have learned is that the host will make their point and cut to a commercial so that they have the upper hand and apparently "win" the debate and after the commercial, it is a different guest. I have seen this same tactic on "Dr. Phil." It's their show and they are not going to let the host lose face by badly losing a debate.
