The recent, steady leak of classified national security information has turned into a torrent. Many experts say such high level leaks must have the tacit approval of the White House even if they are not sourced directly to Obama administration officials. The president has called those charges "offensive," and has promised to investigate the leaks.
No matter the source, the leaks have already done great damage to America's reputation, embarrassed our allies and put lives at risk.
Flip through the list of the five biggest recent national security leaks.

Value Funds Could Take the Lead
(JNJ), Exxon Mobil (XOM) and 3M (MMM). Such high-quality names tend to be resilient in downturns, and the fund outdid most competitors during the turmoil of 2008. During the past five years, MFS returned 0.3% annually and surpassed 74% of peers.Mead likes some big banks, including JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS). The giants have above-average capital levels and market positions that have become stronger since many competitors vanished during the financial crisis. American Century Value is another fund that excels in downturns. The fund buys high-quality stocks that are in the cheapest third of the market as indicated by price-earnings ratios and other measures. In 2008, American Century outdid 97% of peers. Holdings include such giants as Procter & Gamble (PG) and AT&T (T). Portfolio manager Michael Liss seeks dominant companies with high returns on capital. A holding is CareFusion (CFN), a provider of surgical instruments and equipment used for infusion therapy. "They have leading market shares in niches where there is not a lot of competition," says Liss. Another holding is Republic Services (RSG), which operates landfills and waste management operations. The stock suffered after a recent earnings disappointment. But Liss says that the company has a strong balance sheet and little competition in its markets. Invesco Van Kampen American Value focuses on mid-caps. During the past five years, the fund has returned 2.0% annually, outdoing 68% of mid-cap value competitors. The portfolio managers screen through underperforming companies that are earning less than they have in the past. The aim is to find disappointing businesses that are starting to show improvement. "We like situations where analysts hate the stock, but the earnings outlook is improving," says portfolio manager Sergio Marcheli. A holding is Snap-on (SNA), which supplies tools to auto repair shops and airlines. During the financial crisis, many customers trimmed orders. But lately the business has been improving as airlines upgrade tools. Marcheli also owns Fidelity National Information Services (FIS), which provides technology that banks use to process transactions and manage back offices. He says that banks are spending more on technology to meet new regulatory requirements. This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage."We want businesses that will be successful 10 or 15 years down the road," she says. Holdings include Johnson & Johnson

Unless racing is your sole objective in life, you probably don't need the Xcelerator Skate binding produced by Rossignol, Fischer, and Rottefella. Instead, you'll find that the F4 Skate Binding encompasses the traits that you not only desire, but actually need. Basically, the F4 runs a close second to the Xcelerator in terms of weight and stiffness.
In fact, the F4 only weighs around 30 grams more per binding, and it features a 60 shore binding flex instead of the Xcelerator's dual flexbit 60 shore rating. However, where the two truly part ways is in the F4's ease of use. The manual entry/exit has a larger grip that's simple to operate while gloved. Additionally, the F4's heel-piece has been widened in order to increase stability while you're perfecting your form. So, the F4 ensures that your sacrifices are kept low while you're climbing the ranks.
- NIS compatible mounting provides a simple attachment to any NIS-compatible plate on your skate ski. For an appropriate usage match, we recommend pairing the binding with Rossignol's Delta or Delta Course Skating NIS Ski
- NNN compatibility opens up a wide world of compatible boots like the X8 and X10 Skate
- 60 shore binding flexibility provides a feeling of forgiveness while you're refining your form

Durable, cute, fun to tug
posted 7 years ago
Jack loves his bungee tug toy. It is a fun way to give the dog attention. Very durable--seams don't rip, fabric is strong, doesn't fray like some fleecy toys. Lasts through many wash cycles. Even the squeakers kept squeaking! Jack did chew one foot off the poor toy but other than that this one survived the dogs--it's still in the toy box and Jack even plays with it--not something he always does with 'old' toys.
Pros: fun to play with, cute, very durable
Cons: none

Great for multiple dogs
posted 7 years ago
This is a great way to keep my dog and my mom's dog busy-they pull on it like nothing else. Unfortunately it didn't last long but that is probably because they stayed locked in epic battle tugging for a long time.
Pros: Keeps them busy
Cons: didn't last long

How do I resist my pregnancy craving for beer?
I'm my last trimester and I have a huge hankering for a beer every now and then. When I go out to eat, everyone looks at me funny if I order one -- even if I only have a few sips. Does anyone else share this craving? What can I do to deter dirty looks?

You are not alone in your craving! I have to take medication for a chronic health condition, so am too scared to drink too, but I must admit that I have taken a sip of my husband's beer and swished it around in my mouth and then spit it out into the sink. Just the aftertaste in my mouth for a moment seems to satisfy me. This may sound disordered, but we do what we need to do to make it through!posted 05/17/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I have a friend who drank continuously throughout her pregnancy - but before anyone prejudges..she DID not know she was pregnant until she was 7 months (and that is another story in itself). But as soon as she found out, she stopped. The point is - her child is fine. Not to say that it is okay to drink while pregnant, but I spoke to a British doctor the other day and he said that many English doctors say drinking 1 Dark Beer a week like Guiness is okay and is actually good in some way for you, same with wine. I get the craving for a beer - the other night I had a couple of sips and gave the rest to my husband and then moved on to juice. But my point is, every woman is different, every culture is different and I think that is a topic that will get some people HEATED up - but it is up to you decide what you should do and using your logic and common sense you know what is right and what is wrong. Other than that - who am I to judge you or vice versa?posted 05/14/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I craved Beer, microbrews only, when I was pregnant. I thought it was weird but I guess not so. I would usually just take a couple sips off my husbands when out in public since we didn't usually have beer in the house. I did have an occassional small glass of wine after my first trimester as well. I think very small amounts are okay...my son is beautiful and healthy.posted 05/04/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm a beer lover, a connoisseur really. So, going without was a huge challenge for me. My doctor put it to me this way, though. He said that alcohol kills brain cells and your baby is so small and still developing. So, just drinking a small amount of alcohol could kill one brain cell. One or two brain cells doesn?t seem like a big deal, but, that one brain cell is still dividing and could have been 10,000 brain cells. That statement, in itself quenched my desire to drink. There's really no way to tell how much is too much, so it's just not a risk worth taking. When the mood really strikes me, I take a couple sips of my husband's beer and that tends to satisfy me without drinking an entire beer. O?Doul?s Amber (not the regular O?Doul?s) is a far second, but it?s something to sip on when everybody else is drinking.posted 05/04/2007 by reba1978
There are a lot of great na beers and wines out there to try. My advice, even though I am not a doctor, wait until you're at least out of the first trimester and have only one of these drinks. You'll get the same effect of taste. As far as how often I cannot say, but I don't typically have more than one in a week since I'm not sure what's okay. Good ones to try, O'Doul's Amber, St. Pauli Girl NA, Kaliber...then for wine Sutter Home makes one called Fre that comes in a chardonnay or a red.posted 05/03/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
If you were hitting your child in public then people would give you dirty looks too (even though child rearing is also not "communal" and dong so may infringe on "a parent's choices") so the same would be true watching a pregnant woman drink. It's like playing Russian Roulette with your child's future. You may get lucky or you may end up with devastating consequences. An aquaintance of mine staunchly defended the shots of booze she was doing while pregnant with her second child because she had drank a fair bit with her first child 8 years earlier and he turned out perfectly healthy. It was hard to swallow the feelings later after the second child was born with major developmental difficulties and was in an out of hospitals and special services for years. Last time I saw her she was drunk and bawling her eyes out about the stress the new child's difficulties put on her life. I stopped all contact with her after that. It was too hard to watch.posted 05/02/2007 by ccmcr
I have really been craving beer too, so on occasion I will have a so called "non-alcoholic beer". I know they still have trace amounts of alcohol in them, but it's usually less than one half of one percent and as long as you only have one I can't imagine that would be enough to be too bad. I also have allowed myself one TINY sip per dinner (we're talking teaspoon size sip, no gulps!) of my husband's margarita or whatever and that tiny taste strangely is enough to satisfy me.posted 03/29/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Drinking while pregnant is like playing Russian Roullette. My parents are foster parents and I have seen first hand the devastating effects of FAS and FAE. Any reputable doctor or even a book will tell you there is no safe limit for alcohol consumption. Doctors may not always be up to date with current recommendations, so you should always do a little research of your own. I have seen Children with FAE whose mothers drank very little.posted 03/12/2007 by vw_baby
Having One Beer or better yet an Odouls, certainly won't harm your baby. As long as you don't over do it. I am the same way. I won't touch any alcohol because I am scared to harm my baby in any way, but occasionaly I have a sip of wine or beer. And sometimes I have almost a whole Odouls Non-Alcoholic beer!!!! Don't worry about these people saying... statistics and blah blah, did they do the research???? They are not better moms for it. You will be a great mom EVEN IF YOU HAVE A SIP OF BEER.posted 03/12/2007 by npjackie
Before pregnancy I wasn't much of a drinker but if I did drink I would have a beer. After my first trimester I would take a drink of my husband's beer if he was having one or I would order a non-alcoholic version of beer which I believe still contains some alcohol but it's such a tiny amount that I wouldn't worry. Like you though I had the beer craving and I know a lot of other Moms who did too, so you're not strange! I would get questioning looks from people when I would be drinking my non-alcoholic beer sometimes, after all it appears exactly the same once poured into a glass! There is no way a sip or even two of a beer can hurt your baby, but I personally wouldn't feel comfortable drinking a real glass of beer or even half. It just made me too paranoid. Another thing that helped me is just smelling the beer but not drinking it (weird I know) but sometimes just smelling my husband's beer for a bit got me past the craving. Good luck and take care!posted 02/26/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

The Enough Project, along with the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, Invisible Children, and Resolve, signed a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Chairperson of the African Union Commission Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma this week calling for the rapid implementation of the recently approved "U.N. Regional Strategy to Address the Threat and Impact of the Activities of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA)."
Over the weekend the U.S. State Department announced it was suspending $200,000 worth of Foreign Military Financing, or FMF, normally allocated to support a military academy in Rwanda. The suspension of aid is the first punitive action taken against Kigali since the allegations of support to the M23 rebellion in Congo surfaced in late June.
In an interview with Enough Project Co-founder John Prendergast, former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who currently serves as a professor of international relations at Georgetown University, describes her Enough Moment and what sustains her work on human rights issues.
In efforts to address issues of regional cooperation and leadership in the fight against the Lord's Resistance Army, or LRA, Representatives Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Ed Royce (R-CA ) drafted a letter calling on President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to meet with presidents from each LRA-affected country during the upcoming U.N. General Assembly in September. The letter is currently circulating amongst Congressional offices for further endorsements. In this post that originally appeared on the Resolve blog, Resolve Co-founder and CEO Michael Poffenberger describes how activists can speak up in support of the letter, and use their voices to help end the LRA.
In a new Sudan field dispatch, "Refugees Provide Details of Attacks in Isolated Blue Nile State," the Enough field team documents accounts of refugees fleeing violence in Sudan's Blue Nile state. Refugees recounted the brutality of Sudan's military tactic of targeting civilians as well as shed light on the reasons for the influx of nearly 35,000 refugees into South Sudan's Upper Nile state over a three-week period from late May to early June.

I've upgraded from FxCop 1.35 to 1.36 and now FxCop has started to fire warnings against typed DataSets and other generated code. How do I turn this off?
The reason this is occurring is because we changed the way that FxCop analyzed generated code. Whereas previously in 1.35, FxCop would only ignore particular generated code (such as DataSets), FxCop 1.36 will now either ignore no generated code, or all generated code. The former is the default.
To change this behavior and have FxCop skip over generated code:

(By Balaseshan) Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAB) (NASDAQ: VIA) reported a 12.8% increase in quarterly earnings as 17% revenue drop was substantially offset by lower expenses. Despite revenue missing consensus, adjusted earnings exceeded Street's expectations.
Earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were $643 million or $1.24 per share, higher than last year's $576 million or $1.00 per share. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations rose to $1.21 from $1.06.
Revenue plunged 17% to $3.36 billion, due to lower Filmed Entertainment revenues.
[Related -Futures Mixed After Jobs Data; Linkedin Corp (LNKD), Dell, Inc. (DELL) In Focus]
Analysts, on average, polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a profit of $1.17 per share on revenue of $3.42 billion for the fourth quarter.
Media Networks revenues were flat at $2.29 billion, principally reflecting increased affiliate fees offset by lower advertising and ancillary revenues. Domestic affiliate revenues increased 12%, driven by rate increases and higher digital revenues.
Worldwide affiliate revenues increased 11%. Domestic advertising revenues declined 6% and worldwide advertising revenues decreased 7%.
Filmed Entertainment revenues plunged 39% to $1.09 billion, principally due to the number and mix of theatrical and home entertainment titles released in the quarter, and reflecting difficult comparisons with the significant impact of Transformers: Dark of the Moon in the fourth quarter of 2011.
[Related -Media Is Red Hot For Good Reasons]
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, Viacom repurchased 14.2 million shares under its stock repurchase program, for an aggregate purchase price of $700 million. As of November 14, 2012, Viacom had $4.420 billion remaining in its $10 billion stock repurchase program.
At September 30, 2012, total debt outstanding, including capital lease obligations, rose to $8.15 billion from $7.37 billion last year. The company's cash balances decreased to $848 million at September 30, 2012 from $1.02 billion in the previous year.
"Paramount also continued to achieve solid margin growth in the fourth quarter and full year, and has an exciting pipeline in place with eight films in the first fiscal quarter, including Jack Reacher, DreamWorks Animation's Rise of the Guardians and the recently released Flight," said Philippe Dauman, Chief Executive of Viacom.
VIAB closed Wednesday's regular session down 1.70% at $47.99, while VIA ended down 1.54% at $48.71.

To the hammer, all the world is a nail.
Karen Hoffman, MD
And to the surgeon, all patient care is a scalpel, or so the saying goes.
And so it is for urologists, those doctors who diagnose low-risk prostate cancer in men with a life expectancy of less than 10 years, a patient group that should be managed with observation, not treatment, guidelines recommend.
Men diagnosed by urologists whose claims history indicates a preponderance of prostatectomy procedures were more likely to get a prostatectomy than any other form of care including watchful waiting.
Likewise, patients diagnosed by urologists specializing in radiotherapy or cryotherapy or external beam radiation therapy were more likely to get treated with—you guessed it—radiotherapy, cryotherapy, or external beam radiation therapy.
Yet these were all patients diagnosed with the same extremely low severity of disease.
These were the not-so-surprising but important take-aways this week from a study in JAMA Internal Medicine by Karen Hoffman, MD, a radiation oncologist at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Her look at a large national sample of men diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer reveals a crying need for greater transparency in physicians' practice biases.

The room went silent
The room went silent.
Lips like magnets, held together with
a force so difficult to pull apart.
Fists clenched together, sweating palms,
fingers cramping.
Anxiety filling the room like a scent.
A gust of smoke devoured the classroom,
Throats of students began to itch.
A boy with a flashback
Knew the exact taste of the breath
of flames.
He began to cough.
Breaking the silence like sheets of ice dropped upon by a pin.
Attention was brought full-on to what the future held,
Are you okay?
I think a fire is starting.
That's a harsh accusation to make.
Smoke dancing through the nostrils of

From Ely Myerson, Florida Atlantic University, FL
I suggest that you be cautious before you go into the video taping business,
for two reasons: students who borrow or buy the tapes will likely not
come to the course and given the limited pricing that will work, it
is unlikely that you will make much $ from the deal.
From Michael Markowitz, IRP, New School University, NY
We only tapes performances of our theatre group which we make available
at cost.
From Tricia Inlow-Hatcher, Encore Center, NC State university,
The Encore Center at NC State University videotapes on average one course
per year. The courses are available for rental and are also shown on
our local educational television channel (we offer this as a public
service to the community). We rent the tapes to retirement communities
and senior centers for $50 and to our members for $20. One piece of
advice to those considering this -- the best courses to videotape are
those with a lot of bells and whistles. Instructors who use a lot of
audiovisuals are going to translate better to video than those who mostly
talk and discuss.
From Sarah Fletcher, Furman University ILR, SC
Furman University Learning in Retirement (FULIR) is located in Greenville,
SC. Our program has been growing since its inception in 1993. We now
have about 560 students each term and offer over 70 courses per term.
FULIR has video taped a few courses in the past. One of our most popular
instructors has taught several different classes on Shakespeare. He
is excellent and very popular. We often have enrollments of 80 to 90
students in his class each time his courses are offered. A former Furman
student who is now a doctor offered to pay for the video taping of some
of the Shakespeare classes. We charged a break-even cost for the videos
when the course was over. ( I think they were $3-$4, or something like
that, for each class in the 10-week term). Actually we didn't sell many
sets. I have one set in the office that is available for loan, but it
is rarely requested. Even though this professor is a wonderful lecturer,
I think many people don't enjoy a "talking head" video. The
courses met for 10 weeks, with one and a half hour classes each week.
From Mary Pat Bohrman, ALL, University of Alabama, Huntsville,
We have attempted to do this for a special program we presented, but
the cost of doing it was prohibitive. We previously had a member videotape
a class for future use, but the quality was so poor that it wasn't
useable. Would love to hear ideas on how to work around the professional
charges for taping.
From Kali Lightfoot, OLLI, University of S. Maine, Portland,
Our conclusion has been that while people think this will be a great
idea and they have occasionally talked us into taping a course, nobody
ever actually looks at the tapes!
From Wilbur Birky, LLI of Elkhart County, IN
We have done so for only one of the 14 courses we have offered so far
(we are a relatively new program). We did so at the request of some
of those registered. In that case one of the class members volunteered
to do it, then basically charged at his cost--and I don't remember what
that was. But I believe only 5 or so of the 50 registrants purchased
the CDs.
From Janette Brown, Emeriti College, University of Southern
No, we do not. If we tape them, we host them on our website for free.
From Peter Rivera, Center for Lifelong Learning, University
of TX, El Paso
CLL videotaped 8 (9.0 hours total each, 1.5 hrs./week) of it's 6-session
classes. University communications students produced, edited and packaged
the final product. Sessions were edited down to 1 hour each and ran
weekly on local cable and continuously as streaming video on our website
for 2 semesters. Our cost was +/- 50K, covered by a grant from Bernard
Osher Foundation. Subjects chosen to represent variety of our typical
program and lecturers from our most respected and popular faculty at
UTEP. DVD copies (created on our office computers) are made available
to members on loan. If members bring blank media, we burn copies they
may keep for free. We had a ball doing it. Hope this helps.
From Joan Gamble, ElderCollege, Fremont, OH
We have on occasion taped a program for members who had to miss a session.
This hasn't happened often and a amateur endeavors. In hind sight, I
wish we would have taped some of our local history class speakers. They
gave unique information and have since died, their knowledge gone with
From Fiona Valentine, LLI, Western Iowa Tech Community College,
Here is my somewhat negative feedback! My experience with videotaping
lectures/courses over the years is that they are seldom worth the effort
that goes into producing them. The reasons are:
1) the quality of the tape is rarely good, which makes them hard to
2) a tape can rarely, if ever, capture the interaction that took place
in the classroom
3) people forget that the recording was ever made and they gather dust
on a shelf somewhere
4) the people who made the recording neglect to inform others of its
For these and other reasons, I almost never record unless there is some
archival value in having a record of the event.
From Claudia Boles, LLI, Anderson College, SC
We had a very nice course during which local leaders spoke about Creativity.
The course leader arranged to have it video taped and several copies
made. I kept one to loan out and we place one in the county library.
It was a very nice event but unfortunately even thought we've
tried to publicize the tapes there has been little call for them.
From Mary Gardner, LLI, Purdue University, IN
We don't videotape any of our courses. I almost feel that we use too
many commercially produced videos in our classes (I feel the same way
about elementary school classrooms, too!) However, it is an interesting
From Karen Dumers, North Carolina State University
We rent them to members at $20 a set or $5 a tape. We videotape financial
lectures, travel
and destinations, art lectures and Science, etc.
From M. Jerry Meketon, Academy for Lifelong Learning, University
S. Florida, Sarasota/Manatee
We have video taped from time to time, but never for sale. We have taped
speakers or lecturers so that members who could not be there could review
what was said. We have also taped portions of courses for advertising
purposes. Currently, we are video taping a course about the Sarasota
school of architecture. This style was developed during the 1950's
and the architects involved are retired or will be leaving the area.
It is unlikely that a future course of this scope will be put on. So
we are professionally recording the event as a public service. The tapes
can be loaned out to different community groups. The course ends March
5th. Will see how it goes.
From Noreen Frye, OLLI, University of Miami, FL
This is something we've been talking about but have not done yet. We're
beginning to look at ways to reach out beyond our walls.
From Pat Mielke, SPARK, University of Missouri, Kansas City,
We do not have the equipment to tape our courses. We do use DVDs from
"The Great Courses", which have terrific lectures, followed
by a facilitator lead discussion on the lecture. Usually we offer one
of these courses each of the four semesters throughout the year.
From Callie, Five Colleges LIR, MA
We do not videotape seminars, but we have a program called Encore Presentations
where a few excellent presentations are given as lectures some time
later. We normally have two lectures scheduled for a session. Last year
we had one Encore Presentation program, and this year we have two.

Hey everyone. So I had my daughter a little more than 2 weeks ago, she was born still at 39 weeks. We had the funeral on 8/13. At this point, it's the first full week since the funeral and I am just trying to get back to normal life. As I'm sure you all know (I'm sorry you do), when you're carrying to term knowing you will have to face the death of your child, it is a stressful and sad time (although there is some joy as well), and although I'm somewhat relieved that part is over, I'm feeling exhausted by the whole process, mentally and physically. I'm feeling very sad still, and I know I will for some time. I am having some trouble sleeping, am still bleeding (sorry if TMI), wake up drenched in sweat at night, and feel disgusting and tired because of my weight.
So I got an e-mail from my manager at work today asking me when I plan to return to work. Granted, she added that she knew I would probably need some time off, but also threw in there that she had contacted HR and they need a "medical reason why I can't work". I don't know what to tell her! How do I know when I will feel ready to return to work? Physically, I could probably go and sit there (I am a nurse and do primarily phone triage), but mentally, I feel on the verge of tears quite often and haven't been very good at controlling it the past few days. I guess I thought I would get the standard 6 weeks of maternity leave. I don't remember having to fill out any special paperwork for my daughter 3 years ago...are they not giving me a maternity leave because I don't have a living baby? I was already having an emotional day and this kind of set me over the edge.
How long did everyone else take after the loss of a baby? Am I being "greedy" by thinking I should get at least 6 weeks of time off to recover from this?

Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
A different kind of January effect is taking shape in China this year, courtesy of the disparity between the lunar calendar, by which China identifies its new year, and the Western, or solar, calendar, by which it marks and measures economic data.
The Chinese new year (the Year of the Snake starts on Sunday, Feb. 10) is based on the 12 phases of the moon in the traditional Chinese yin calendar, notes Carl Weinberg, chief economist of High Frequency Economics. Lunar phases are shorter than solar cycles, so a leap month is added every few years to ensure that the winter solstice, by which the lunar new year is determined, always occurs in the 11th month.
Yin Sync? Because of the lunar calendar, the Chinese New Year can fall in January or February, distorting economic data. William Waitzman for Barron's
That means the Chinese Yew Year, and all its attendant economic activity, can fall in either January or February. The resulting bulge in monthly economic figures, recorded in the solar, or yang, calendar, can throw off year-to-year comparisons.
"It poses the same problem for China's data as Easter does in Western data," says Weinberg. While the celebration week is the busiest all year for travel, and all the partying can increase food prices, on the production side, everything is closed.
Consequently, China's data are "unreliable in January and February," Weinberg says, adding that China doesn't publish any key economic numbers for retail sales or industrial production in the new-year month. "There's a new degree of fantasy in these numbers on top of the existing degree of fantasy."
Weinberg says it will be March before we know whether China's economy is truly recovering. But he sees the acceleration in gross domestic product continuing to just under 10% in the next three quarters. Now, that would be something to celebrate.
Last Week: Review
Going After a Rater
The Justice Department sued McGraw-Hill's Standard & Poor's unit, alleging the ratings agency knowingly understated the credit risks of bonds and derivatives that played a key role in the financial crisis. The civil charges are the first federal enforcement action against a credit-rating firm over the crisis. Thirteen states and the District of Columbia also sued S&P, charging the firm inflated its ratings to cater to banking clients. S&P called the suits "meritless." New York's attorney general has launched a probe into S&P and the other two major credit-ratings firms, The Wall Street Journal said.

Happy Talk on Trade
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $38.5 billion in December, the lowest in nearly three years, on higher exports and lower oil imports. Some economists raised fourth-quarter GDP growth forecasts, but MFR's Joshua Shapiro cautioned that "single-month results should most definitely not be extrapolated." China's exports grew 25% in January. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose above 14,000 before falling to 13,992.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ended the week at 1518, its highest level in five years.
Ding-Dong Dell
Michael Dell reached a deal to take Dell private for $24.4 billion, or $13.65 a share, a 25% premium to the price before talks were leaked. But Southeastern Asset Management, Dell's largest outside holder with 8.5%, said it would vote against the deal, saying it "grossly undervalued" the company. Approval of a majority of holders, excluding Michael Dell, is required.
Currency Skirmish
The euro dropped to 1.337 against the dollar, its lowest level since late January, after ECB President Mario Draghi said the common currency's exchange rate is important for growth. Draghi dismissed the French president's idea for a mechanism to protect the euro from market mood swings. The yen jumped against the euro after Japan's finance minister said the currency's recent drop had gone too far. EU leaders reached a budget deal.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nationwide Children's Hospital collaborate to teach water safety
April 9, 2014

Bobber the Water Safety Dog and Corey, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District's talking water safety boat recently visited Nationwide Children's Hospital to share water safety tips with patients, parents and hospital staff.
Huntington District Park Rangers Robert Cifranic, Sylvia Chelf and John Wargo, along with long-time volunteer, Dick Armstrong, collaborated with Nationwide Children's Hospital on the water safety event. A national leader in pediatric care, the hospital provides a full spectrum of services to more than 1 million children each year.
Children ages one to four have the highest drowning rates, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
"Since most drownings are totally preventable, we really want to empower people to make smart choices and take easy, but sometimes disregarded precautions like swimming with a buddy and wearing a life jacket," said Cifranic, who is based at Dillon Lake, Ohio.
Bobber and Corey posed for pictures with participants and park rangers passed out prevention literature, cups, coloring books, tote bags and stickers with safety messages on them. They engaged in conversations with dozens of children about recreation safety at the on-site child care center as well as the main hospital facility.
"You're never too young to learn about water safety," said Corey the safety boat in a squeaky, high-pitched voice.
"Even infants can be taught water safety," added Wargo, a life-long boater and angler based at Alum Creek Lake, Ohio.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the leading provider of outdoor recreation in the U.S. with more than 420 lake and river projects in 43 states and more than 370 million visitors per year. That's millions of opportunities for water-related fun, but if you ask a statistician, that's numerous opportunities for water-related injuries, like drowning, too. As such, park rangers spend much of their time educating the public about recreation safety, including water safety.
"We want to keep a happy day at the lake happy by reducing injuries, and if we can teach children to make healthy decisions about how they behave in and around the water, we might be able to set the foundations for them to make healthy choices throughout their lives," said Chelf, who is based at Alum Creek Lake and is the mother of a toddler.
At Nationwide Children's Hospital alone, 201 children were admitted for dive trauma and drowning incidents from 2004-2013.
"We really want to be proactive with community education and deliver safety information to the public in many different ways including events like these," said Registered Nurse Dana Shoemaker. "If we can get safety information out to the public, maybe we can reduce the incidence of injury," said Shoemaker, who also is a nurse trauma leader at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
For Armstrong, an avid boater, volunteering with the park rangers, Bobber and Corey is fun and even a little bit self-interested, he admits. "The truth is you, me; everybody is better off when everybody is making smart choices about how they behave in the water."
Armstrong has volunteered to teach water safety with the Corps and other organizations for many years. A retired civil engineer and construction and mining equipment salesman, Armstrong regularly volunteers at the Alum Creek Lake Visitor Center and recreation site.
"Use the buddy system; avoid alcohol while operating watercraft, learn how to swim, wear your life jacket, be respectful of other swimmers and boaters and know the local weather conditions," added Armstrong.
