U.S. stocks continue to push higher, with the S&P index

Market Committee, who told The Wall Street Journal that he thinks

Wasatch International Growth Fund to Close to New Investors on January 31, 2014
Fund to remain open to existing shareholders, new investors who purchase shares directly from Wasatch, financial advisors with an established position, and retirement plans.
Effective at the end of market trading (4:00 p.m. EST) on January 31, 2014, the Wasatch International Growth Fund (WAIGX) will close to new investors. The Fund will remain open to existing Fund shareholders, as well as current and future clients of financial advisors and retirement plans with an established position in the Fund.
The Fund will also remain open to new and existing shareholders who purchase shares directly from Wasatch Funds.
Wasatch takes fund capacity very seriously. We monitor assets in each of our funds carefully and commit to shareholders to close funds before asset levels rise to a point that would alter our intended investment strategy. At this time we believe it is appropriate to begin limiting future access to the International Growth Fund.
Mutual fund investing involves risks and loss of principal is possible. Investing in small cap funds will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in large cap or more diversified funds. Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, entails special risks, such as unstable currencies, highly volatile securities markets and political and social instability, which are described in more detail in the prospectus.
An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus, containing this and other information, visit www.WasatchFunds.com or call 800.551.1700. Please read it carefully before investing.

Tim Tebow, left, had success working with former Broncos offensive coordiantor Mike McCoy, who is now head coach of the San Diego Chargers. / Robert Hanashiro, USA TODAY Sports
SAN DIEGO â?? New San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy has a more extensive â?? and successful â?? history with Tim Tebow than any other coach in the NFL.
McCoy was the Denver Broncos' offensive coordinator and called plays for Tebow in the quarterback's 16 starts in 2010 and 2011, including two playoff games.
So as Tebow approaches his second week of unemployment since being released by the New York Jets, could a reunion with McCoy be possible in San Diego?
Not likely, McCoy told USA TODAY Sports on Friday after the first day of the Chargers rookie minicamp.
"We're very happy with our roster we currently have," McCoy said.
McCoy and the Broncos coaching staff reworked their entire offensive playbook to install a read-option offense for Tebow midway through the 2011 season. But that read-option will not be part of the Chargers scheme under quarterback Philip Rivers. McCoy said the Chargers are also happy with backup Charlie Whitehurst.
In saying he was satisfied with the overall roster, McCoy seemed to indicate the Chargers wouldn't look at bringing Tebow to San Diego to play a different position. The only glaring hole on the Chargers' roster now is at left tackle.
San Diego has have recently hosted veterans Bryant McKinnie and Max Starks on free agent visits. McKinnie re-signed with the Baltimore Ravens, but Starks remains a possibility. Until then, King Dunlap is expected to be with the first-team offense when the team holds its first full-team organized team activity practice on Monday.
"You'll know if we make any changes," McCoy said.

Elena (The Vampire Diaries). She was the main death to come in the season's finale and it was very sad to watch her sacrificing herself for Matt as to redeem her father's sacrifice.
Okay. Some of us worships Matty, some of us loves Jake. We all knew that Jenna has to pick somebody and that would disappoint one group. But I really feel that buildup of Jake's and Tamara's relationship towards next season is forced and I'm not a fan of it at all. Seriously, Jake, I admire your I-AM-FINE-AND-NOW-I-AM-GOING-FROM-WUSS-TO-PLAYBOY, but just... No.
God, and it's "Nikita" which is talked to be cancelled. I hope they will sacrifice everything for Nikita, cause ratings has gone up this week.

Goodbye 20's. It's been a pleasure. Hello 30's. Charmed, I'm sure.
It's my 30th birthday today! I joke around and say that the 20's were the dumbest decade of my life – which is true. But so much good came from my bad decisions, failed relationships & job firings. If none of those "dumb" things happened, I wouldn't be where I am today. My twenties were awesome: I moved to New York, then to Atlanta, met some of my best friends in the world, won Miss Liberia USA 2009, met the love of my life + got married and became a blogger.
If I was "dumb" and accomplished those things, I'm stoked to see what I'll do in my 30's, now that I'm much more aware of who I am.
A lot of people are scared of 30, but I embrace it and thank God for bringing me this far. As I become a mother for the first time this fall, join forces with Hubs in a couple of business + creative ventures and take the Mattieologie brand to another level at the top of next year, the first year of my 30's is looking pretty bright. I accept the challenges, life lessons and joys it will bring. At 30, I'm realizing that yes, dreams do come true. And most people will not understand and may try to talk you out of those dreams because most people are afraid of heights. Luckily, I'm not most people.
So many lessons learned, so much life experienced. I certainly didn't imagine that I would be here by this age. You know, for some freakish reason at age 20, I thought that I should be a millionaire by now. FYI: I'm not. Very not. But the thing I'm most proud of and thankful for is that I'm HAPPY. I don't long to be anyone else but myself, want anyone else's life but my own and that happiness is honestly the best gift.
Here's to 30: another decade to making my dreams come true.

Snow globes first appeared in France in the late 1800s, possibly as a spin-off of the glass paperweight, which was popular a few years beforehand. They first appeared at the Paris Universal Expo in 1878, and by 1879, multiple companies were manufacturing and selling them.
In 1889, a snow globe that featured the Eiffel Tower was made for the International Exhibition in Paris and it became a popular souvenir for tourists. The idea spread throughout Europe and all kinds of things were placed inside the globes, including flowers, religious icons, clocks, dolls and medals.
The snow globe concept became popular in the United States in the 1920s. They were produced for local towns and were also used in several advertising campaigns. Religious-themed snow globes were popular gifts for Catholic children. In the 1950s, the invention of plastic revolutionized snow globes, but the change in material made them seem tackier to a lot of people.
In the 1970s, American gift companies made upscale snow globes featuring highly intricate details, which have remained the basis for today's snow globes.
Starting your own collection is easy, especially since many companies have their own collections and add new designs all the time. Many tourist locations sell them as souvenirs, so collecting one from each place you visit is a good way to remember where you went. Just make sure to display your snow globes in a prominent place with plenty of good lighting so you and your guest can enjoy the fine artistry and detail involved in each miniature scene!

Read Slice's review by clicking here
Read David Harley's review by clicking here
Who would have thought that the writer of UNDER SEIGE: DARK TERRITORY would one day end up directing one of the most groundbreaking films in the past twenty years? I just got back from seeing the top-secret JJ Abrams project known only as CLOVERFIELD and ran directly to my computer to slam out some thoughts, all of which are positive. This is going to sound extremely bold, but CLOVERFIELD is life changing. Sure it's just a movie and yeah, it's not the best movie of all-time, but it will change the way films are made and will forever become a classic among young movie viewers everywhere.
Slice and I chatted a bit about this in the car, so there might be some overlap in our opinions, but do you remember the first time you saw JURASSIC PARK? Do you remember how it altered every film to come after it and your expectations? CLOVERFIELD works the same magic as it's so incredibly convincing and effective that it's mere existence will challenge your views of other films – "it just wasn't CLOVERFIELD" will become the new line heard round the campus.
Why is the film so damn effective? Funny how just yesterday I read an article online about horror video games and why they're better than actual movies. The author's observations led him to believe that one of the main reasons was the game player is essentially THE character in the game, thus the gamer is experiencing the events first hand, which can be terrifying. CLOVERFIELD puts the same thoughts to the test by sticking a camera into some "Joe Smith's" hands, and shooting the entire movie first person. The effect is that the viewer in the theater subconsciously feels as if they are that person with the camera. I know it has been done before (BLAIR WITCH, DIARY OF THE DEAD), but none done with such competence. What results is an actual scary movie with some genuinely creepy, tense moments and the fruition of well-developed characters.
The screenplay was truly in touch with reality. What transpires is an astoundingly believable situation, which we're supposed to be laughing at. A giant monster attacks New York City? Seriously? The fact that it's 100% believable only aids in the fear factor. The absolute best part of Drew Goddard's screenplay is that we learn nothing about the monster or it's parasites that jump off its back. We are left guessing until the end, but not having answers spoon fed to us only makes the film that much more frightening.
And although we don't learn anything about the monster's origins, we do get plenty of ass-kicking creature FX. The fact that the film is shot in first person helps hide many of the CG flaws making this one of the most realistic monsters to ever hit the big screen. Besides looking just fearsome, both the giant monster and its parasites have the most gut wrenching sounds.
The roar, which many of you have heard online, shakes the theater. If you see this film in a well-equipped theater, expect to have your balls shaken by some of the best sound design to ever hit a theater. The explosions and roars, and especially the creepy noises made by the parasites, will chill you down to the core. An effective score and sound design can turn a good movie into a great movie, which is the case here.
In the end, I was disappointed – and not by the movie. CLOVERFIELD is one of those films you wish you could see for the very first time again because the impact will just never be the same on second viewing. I treasured the experience of getting to see this in the theater and it will forever leave a mark on me. "This is a story that needs to be told…" there are still good movies to be made – and people who have the heart to make them.

Third-Party Tracking Cookie Revelations
A new draft paper describes how the capture of tracking cookies can be used for mass surveillance, and where other personal information is leaked by web sites, build up a wider picture of a person's real-world identity.
Dillon Reisman, Steven Englehardt, Christian Eubank, Peter Zimmerman, and Arvind Narayanan at Princeton University's Department of Computer Science investigated how someone with passive access to a network could glean information from observing HTTP cookies in transit. The authors explain how pseudo-anonymous third-party cookies can be tied together without having to rely on IP addresses.
Then, given personal data leaking over non-SSL content, this can be combined into a larger picture of the person. The paper assessed what personal information is leaked from Alexa Top 50 sites with login support.
This work is likely to attract the attention of privacy advocates and regulators, leading to increased interest in cookies and other tracking mechanisms.
The research work was motivated by two leaked NSA documents.

First let me say I hate my machine!
It is a brother XR-65 and I can never get the tension right!
I have set it every way known to man and I still end up with squiggle lines on the back of my fabric or knots on the top of the fabric! If anyone can help me...I have a baby shower on Sunday to attend and I need my machine!
------Kat Holliday
we all get days like this.
walk away for a while and take a deep breath. Often I have gone to bed stressed out over some sewing thing and not had a problem in the morning.
Once your clear headed. Start from scratch. Put in a new needle, re thread the machine completely. Even wind a new bobbin if necessary. Check everything and go from scratch. See how you get on then and post back.
If you have done all those things and still have a problem I'm sure someone on here can point you in the right direction.
Might be helpful to let us know what type of fabric your sewing on, which needle size your using and which thread. These can affect the sewing and I am the first to admit I never have the right size needle in for the fabric or thread I am using.
------My machines; Bernina 135S, Brother JK 4000,
Too late it is in a million pieces! I have been dealing with this for years! Why is it that men get all thier expensive toys and we women get bubkiss?!!!
Time for a new machine Sewing should be fun and having a machine you can depend on, is number one in my book. I've had a Kenmore 18221 for several years now and really like it. Years ago, I had a machine I could never get the tension right. Even took it to the repair shop and they couldn't get it right. Made sewing a chore and I hated the thought of going into the sewing room. After the repair guy couldn't get it working, I got rid of it.
I'm so sorry to hear this..I have had an XR-65 for over 10 years and it just died..I'm really in mourning...My tension is set at the 4...and I have rarely had to change it. There is a large plastic screw head looking thing on the back...this fine tunes the stitch. Looking down at it from the top of the machine the X part is a little less than 1/4 turn to the right...It does seem to prefer Schmetz needle and I use a 70/10 for most items..sometimes an 80/12 and very rarely a 90/14. Are you using the correct bobbin? It takes a 15 plastic..I just buy them at JoAnn's...nothing special..do make sure there is no lint or threads caught in the bobbin area, although it isn't very fussy about lint build up. Is the bobbin thread coming off of the spool in the proper direction? And do use the spool cap. And do NOT oil..
Good luck..it is really a fantastic machine
------2009-113.25 yds
2012 86.3 yds..
2013 21.0
Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987
Sledge hammer, maybe?
Time for a new machine.
------Bernina 630, Bernina embroidery module, Pfaff 2036, Bernina 1200DA serger, Unique Sewing Cabinet 450L
Yeah, cause outside of the bobbin race, nothing comes apart..at least not easily...poor baby
Good Luck on the next machine....
Its is so funny! About a sledge hammer. I really got frustrated and just pushed it onto the floor. Sturdy little guy! Then I took it apart cleaned it, oiled it and changed needles and joila! It is sewing wonderfully!
Hope tomorrow is going to be a smooth sewing day! Thanks for all the support!
Pushing it onto the floor probably did it! I'm going to try that next time. They get too used to being yelled at and it doesn't work any more, you really need to show them who's boss.

Is TATASTEEL A Steal?
We last took a look at TATASTEEL in October last year. We were waiting for a decisive breakout above the (down) trend-line before getting bullish on the stock. It made a 52 week low of Rs. 320 last Friday.
As you can see from the chart, the stock has tested the Rs. 320 levels twice before since 2009 and has bounced back each time. From a valuation point of view, it is trading at a PE of ~8 which is on par with its global peers like US Steel and Arcelor Mittal. Plus, the Tatas have been giving a Rs. 12 per share dividend since 2011. However, the global outlook for the metal is bearish, with European steel demand being down by 30%, and the industry remains highly fragmented.
So the question is will TATASTEEL be a good buy at today's levels? The RSI indicator is at neutral and MACD is bearish. So from a technical point of view, it is a short-term sell. From a long-term perspective, it is trading at valuations that might be a good entry point for investors who can stomach volatility. If the stock closes above Rs. 320 levels today, it is a long-term buy from our point of view.

Analysis: INFY
Today's pick is INFY (NYSE:INFY). The stock has been very volatile for most part of the last year. It started the year with a range bound movement between Rs.2,800 and Rs.2,900 and saw a bearish breakdown in April. The stock then fell to Rs. 2,200 levels. After spending 8 months between Rs. 2,200 and Rs. 2,600 the stock broke past the channel in January, to move towards its 52 weeks high of Rs. 3,000 levels. In the last three months, the stock moved +25% vs. a flat Nifty.
Oscillator RSI and CMO are currently in no-man's land. The stock is currently trading in the middle of the Bollinger bands. Short-term technical just saw a 18X9 and 9X4 bearish cross-over.
The MACD line has bearishly penetrated the signal line, and the histogram levels are dropping to confirm the bearish move. However, the Long-term GMMA lines have been expanding as opposed to the contracting short-term lines. This is adding to the in-decisiveness about the direction of stock move.
INFY's average correlation with the Nifty is 0.50, which is positive. The scrip will be replicating movement of Nifty.
INFY has a historical volatility in the narrow range of 0.2 to 0.7. The scrip's volatility is currently in the lower end of the range.
Analysts have a bullish outlook for the stock, the next set of earnings might make a difference in the stocks outlook.
Given the technicals, we suggest a short-term Hold. A long-term hold is also suggested if the stock holds above Rs. 2,600. Also, it is advisable to have a relaxed trailing stop-losses level to book profits in case of a sudden trend-reversal.

Analysis: ICICIBANK (IBN)
Today's pick is ICICIBANK (NYSE:IBN). The stock started the year with a downward move to reach Rs. 800 levels. After finding support for a couple of weeks the stock started its up-ward movement. It saw the 52 weeks high of Rs. 1,210 in February, but since then was on a down-trend to find support on the trend-line. In the last three months, the stock moved +2% same as that of the Nifty's.
Oscillator RSI and CMO are in no man's land. The stock is currently trading in the upper side of Bollinger bands. Short-term technical just saw 4X9 and 4X18 bullish SMA cross-over.
The MACD line has just penetrated the signal line in a bullish manner. However, the Long-term and short-term GMMA lines are contracting, unable to provide any outlook for the stock.
ICICIBANK's average correlation with the Nifty is 0.82 which is positive and very strong. The scrip will be closely replicating movement of Nifty.
ICICIBANK has a historical volatility in the range of 0.3 to 0.8. The scrip's volatility is currently in the lower end of the range.
Analysts have positive expectations regarding this stock. Less than expected earnings might hit the street expectations in the coming reviews and might impact the stock as well.
Given these technicals, we suggest a short-term Hold. A long-term call could be taken depending on the price action around Rs. 1,200 levels. It is also suggested to have tight trailing stop-losses level to book profits in case of a sudden trend-reversal.

The Works of Zach MontoyaJuxtapoz // Tuesday, 11 Dec 2012
A great collection of digital and illustrative works from Zach Montoya, who just recently graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art in Illustration. We have been checking out his blog in recent days, and really like the direction he has been heading with his color schemes and overall moods. One to look out for. When we wrote about him earlier this year, we knew he had an interest in the imaginary, night time, songs, sweaters, jeans, falling leaves, sunrise, rain, concept art, video games, movies, illustration, painting and aged cheddar.

At Chevron's Annual General Meeting today, Larry Bowoto, the lead plaintiff in the landmark case Bowoto v. Chevron, called for the oil giant's accountability for human rights violations and environmental abuses. Bowoto sustained critical injuries after military forces hired by Chevron opened fire on a peaceful protest in the Niger Delta exactly ten years ago today. He called for the corporation to "give up violence as a way of doing business." His pleas were met with harsh criticism by Chairman and CEO David O'Reilly, who declared Mr. Bowoto a "criminal."

Bowoto and several other Nigerians are involved in a lawsuit against Chevron for two government military attacks that left protesters injured and some killed during a rally against the pollution of fishing grounds and farms, according to the lawsuit.(Associated Press/Yahoo! News. AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
Mr. Bowoto's lawyer Bert Voorhees issued the following statement in response:
"We are outraged at the comments of Mr. O'Reilly. Such remarks further reveal the profound insensitivity of Chevron's executives to the egregious conduct and environmental destruction that they, in fact, are responsible for in Nigeria. It is more than a little ironic that a company that has wantonly polluted the Ilaje homeland and unleashed the notorious kill-and-go Nigerian military on unarmed protestors has accused Mr. Bowoto of engaging in criminal conduct. It is Mr. O'Reilly and not Mr. Bowoto who should be charged with criminal misconduct. We look forward to presenting his case in court." Watch Bert Voorhees' interview on KTVU2News
Bowoto v. Chevron, No. 99-2506, will go to trial before Federal District Court Judge Susan Illston in September in San Francisco; a related case in California Superior Court, No. CGC-03-417580, will also proceed to trial before Judge Harold E. Kahn in the fall. In addition to Mr. Voorhees' firm, Traber & Voorhees, and EarthRights International, the plaintiffs are represented by several law firms including Hadsell Stormer Keeny Richardson & Renick, Siegel & Yee, Paul Hoffman, Michael Sorgen, Robert Newman, Anthony DiCaprio, and Richard Wiebe; as well as the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

This photo dated Oct. 30, 2012, released Wednesday Nov. 7, 2012, by archeological group Inrap, shows unidentified archeologists working along the Changis-sur-Marne riverbank about 30 miles (50 Km) east of Paris, after unearthing the rare near complete skeleton of a mammoth, which has been christened 'Helmut'. The remains which include four connected vertebrae and a complete pelvis, dating back some 200,000-500,000 years ago, were discovered by accident during excavations at an Ancient Roman site.(AP Photo/Denis Gliksman/Inrap.) / AP
PARIS (AP) Archaeologists in France have unearthed a rather hairy fossil a nearly complete skeleton of a mammoth.
The bones thought to belong to a creature that roamed the earth between 200,000 and 50,000 years ago were discovered by accident during the excavation of an ancient Roman site 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Paris.
It may be only the third remains of a long-haired woolly mammoth discovered in France in the last 150 years. Such discoveries are more common in Siberia.
Archaeologists will try to establish the circumstances of the long tusked specimen's death: If it drowned in the River Marne or was hunted by Neanderthal Man.
It was a French scientist, Georges Cuvier, who first identified the woolly mammoth in 1796.
