The minerals have been divided up into different forms. All the minerals beginning with the letter A are placed in the A Best Minerals forum. The B minerals in the B forum and so on. Each mineral has its own thread in the forums. In a few cases, where the minerals are very common and they are known from very many localities, those minerals have their own forum. These minerals so far are Calcite, Barite, Fluorite, Gypsum and Quartz. For these "large" minerals, each country that produces notable calcite or quartz for example will have its own thread.
What we are trying to do.
The most commonly asked question about a mineral specimen is "What is this thing?" The application of mineralogy will usually provide the answer to this question. The next thing they/we want to know is "Is this thing any good?" The question can take many forms. "What is this specimen worth?" How good is it compared to others of its kind?" Can I get one like it or better? Those are the questions that we want to answer in this forum. No science, including mineralogy can provide us with answers because the answers are subjective. Many of us spend our lives trying to find the answers to these questions. The information is scattered though out the literature on minerals but is mostly in the heads of those of us who are interested in such things. Many of the people active on Mindat spend their lives handling, studying, digging and collecting minerals. In the process we handle large quantities of specimens, sometimes as a business, and in the process we naturally form ideas about the value and rarity of mineral specimens. There is no one place where one can go to find this information, but now there is the growing resource we know as Mindat.
Now, if we want to find out about how good a mineral specimen of dioptase is, we can go to Mindat and look at large numbers of dioptase specimens. Currently that is as about as good as you can get unless you want to spend a lifetime running around the world learning about such things. The purpose of this forum is to provide a means to capture the wisdom and knowledge of Mindat users about how good mineral specimens are and to put it in a convenient format that allow the users to form their own opinions as to what a good mineral specimen its value. We also want this format to be accessible and malleable to the needs of future generations. It is an endeavor very much like that of Wikipedia where everyone who wishes can contribute. This is not a one man show, all who contribute will be required to spend a lot of their time listening to the suggestions of other knowledgeable people and where it makes sense, change what they are writing here.
Scroll now to the bottom of this article and take a look at the article on the mineral Aluminium. This will give you a brief idea of what we are trying to do. Then come back and read about the ten questions we are trying to answer for each significant mineral at a locality.
1. What is the largest crystal of the mineral that the locality has produced?
2. What do the best specimens from this locality look like and where can one be seen?
3. Does the locality produce a variety of different kinds of specimens of this species, and what do the best of each type look like and how many of them were found etc.
4. How abundant are these specimens and when were they found? A type locality? In other words, how rare are they.
5. What are the associated minerals found on specimens from this locality.
6. How do they compare to other specimens of the same mineral from other localities?
7. How much is it worth. This should probably be optional, but in cases where specimens are worth thousands of dollars we should probably say something of the value of these things.
8. What kind of care and feeding do these specimens require? Are they delicate, radioactive, unstable, color changeable etc.?
9. Are the specimens commonly faked, and if so, how to tell if they are?
10. Are there any interesting stories relating to the collecting of these specimens or their discovery as a new mineral?
OK, so what is a significant mineral at a locality? We are not trying to describe all the minerals from every known locality, just the better ones. A general rule of thumb is that if someone has gone to the trouble of taking a picture of a specimen from a particular locality, it may be worth our efforts to include in Best Minerals. If a mineral comes from only one or a very few (<6) localities, even though we may not have a picture of it available, then we will probably want to describe all occurrences of that mineral. At the other end of the spectrum lies calcite. Mindat lists ~16,000 localities for calcite. In the Mindat calcite picture gallery however, there are only ~7500 pictures of calcite specimens representing those localities including many calcites from the same locality. In total there are only several hundred calcite localities represented and we may not want to write about them all. For those more valuable to society, science and collectors we will want to lavish more attention and or show more pictures. If we error in what we exclude or short change in our efforts, there is a very good chance that people who venerate calcite from a particular locality will let us know and we can modify or add to what we have written.
Image selection for Best Minerals.
There has been some confusion about what kind of images we select for The Best Minerals and misconceptions have lead some people to do unnecessary work and submit their images for hoped for inclusion in the project. It seems appropriate at this time to set fourth some guidelines or suggestions about what images are and should be included in this project and hopefully reduce misunderstandings.
The goal of the project is to show people the images of the best specimens we can in hope that these will give the user some standards against they can compare other specimens. At the same time, and perhaps more importantly we want to teach them some mineralogy, geology, mining, history and something about the specimens that they are found of.
Originally the criterion for image selection for The Best Minerals was very simple. Did I want to use a particular image(s) of a species on not. This was fine as long as I was the only one working on the project. However as others became involved, a more detailed set of criterion was needed so that we could all work "on the same page" in harmony. So the criterion sort of became: If you write the article, you select the best images available and those that you find congenial.
Now that even more people are becoming involved almost to the level of the general population, we seem to be need further guidelines for image selection. The few people who are currently involved in generating the articles for this project are all very knowledgeable people with many years of mineralogical and or collecting experience and to a great extent think remarkably alike when it comes to selecting images of good specimens for the project. Some people, who we have encouraged directly or indirectly, to help with this project, do not have the years of experience that the authors have and therefore their ideas about what could or should be shown in our articles are sometimes strikingly different than those of the authors.
This is perhaps best exampled by enthusiastic new comers who have done a little field or silver pick collecting and have encountered a specimen they consider to be a treasure and their enthusiasm for the specimen compels them to wish it recognized by others for the treasure they think they have found. After all they have found the equivalent of gold and diamonds and to them it is very much like they have had the rare privilege of pillaging King Tut's tomb. How could this specimen(s) not be worthy of inclusion? All experienced collectors have experienced this kind of discovery and self induced euphoria, but after many more years of experience they are able to put it in perspective, though they will always have a soft spot in their heart for their first found treasures. Rarely, very rarely, they may have found something worthy of inclusion here, but most of the time these specimens are rather pedestrian in nature and probably are not worthy of inclusion. As authors we need to understand where they are coming from and let them down as easily as possible.
Another well meaning type of person that we occasionally encounter, who wants to see "his children succeed" are the people that have become fixated on a particular species or group of minerals or specimens from a particular locality. In my case I was afflicted by a bad case of borate on the brain as one of my not very charitable friends liked to call it. In others it may take the form of micro rutile crystals or a particular type of agate or concretions that that they have dug up on a local beach. It often takes years to get over these kinds of obsessions and put your specimens in perspective with the real world, and even if we do manage to put these once overly cherished specimens in to perspective we in all honesty always have a soft place in our hearts for them. Initially we feel that if we can sufficiently educate others, they too will appreciate our cherished specimens, and will appreciate them as much as we do. But in time, lots of time, we have learned that others, in fact most others, do not and will never share our enthusiasm and we reign in our enthusiasm enough so that we don't make other people uncomfortable. It's a little bit like someone pushing a political or religious agenda and just don't know when to stop. Sometimes however, these people just can't be reasoned with. They are sort of like people trying to sell you stuff over the phone. Sometimes, though you try to be polite to them, you just have to hang up. Allowing well meaning people to brow beat us into including their somewhat less than wonderful images into Best Minerals will not be a service to the users of these articles who are trying to make informed, balanced decisions based on the content of our articles.
In general we pick the best images available to us from the huge Mindat image gallery. We almost always restrict the images we select to those that have been uploaded to the Mindat Gallery. This is because it is convenient and that the copyright of the images have been settled. This is the main reason that we do not select images that are sent to us as an attachments to an email or a thread posting. In those cases where the image is good and of a fine specimen and possibly worthy of inclusion we request that the person who attached the image formally upload it to Mindat. We are sometimes pointed to or are sent images by specimen dealers, of specimens that they have for sale in hopes that we will include them in Best Minerals and therefore put a sort of seal of approval on their specimen. They hope that this will enhance its value and their reputation as a dealer. We view such submissions with a cynical eye and usually hold these images to a somewhat higher standard than we might of others.
For very rare minerals we sometimes can't find any images of them to include in an article and in these cases we will accept almost any image. Often the images are meaningless because the mineral can't been seen in the picture or is often so small that it must be carefully pointed out which is the mineral of interest and what the other more obvious minerals are in the picture. Sometimes the mineral or mineral grain is so small that it can only be seen in highly magnified photomicrograph as a tiny blip in a black and white image. If that is all we can get for a particularly small and rare mineral, we will take it.
At the far other end of the scale we encounter minerals like quartz and calcite that are so abundant that we can't hope to show examples of them from all localities. Every country in the world has quartz and or calcite though fewer than half the countries of the world are represented by images of quartz and calcite in the Mindat image gallery. Should we endeavor to show images of quartz sand grains from every beach or streambed that contains quartz sand? Obviously this is not practical or desirable. Should we then try and show pictures of quartz crystals from every locality that produces quartz crystals? Probably not even all of those. What I would propose is that we try and show examples of all quartz specimens that are commonly found in mineral collections. At least those, and that includes images of agates, opals and other quartz family minerals. At least those. I think we should also show any other rare and strange and wonderful quartz stuff that we think collectors in general will find interesting, but to a great extent this will be left up to the authors to select. The more important the locality, the more images of specimens from that locality should be shown. How many pictures should be shown for a particular locality? There is no limit, but probably more than fifteen or twenty will get us into an area that we don't want to go, but there may be situations where more will be desirable, we will just have to see how it works out.
I would argue that we should when possible show only images where the entire specimen can be seen and show closeup images of specimens only when the larger specimen is also shown. If someone shows you a picture of just a part of a specimen and asks you "How much is this specimen worth?", what would you tell them. You would say, show me a picture of the entire specimen because I can't make a judgement bases on a view of only a part of the specimen. Since a major part of the purpose of this project is to allow people to make their own value judgments, it is essential that we only use close up images if they are accompanied by a whole specimen image.
What about pictures of micro crystals? If the species is not found in larger crystals, then pictures of microscopic crystals are what we should show. Even if the species does come in larger crystals we still can show photomicrographs of that mineral, but I would argue that the quality bar that those images must surmount will have to be pretty high before we include them along with the images of their larger cousins. Or that there must be something really unusual or compelling about the images of these micro crystals if they are to be included.
Sometimes when we are selecting images for localities that we know little about, we need to keep in mind that the images of the specimens that we have to choose from in Mindat's image gallery may not be very good. In such cases we have to make a decision about whether to include the locality in our articles and some of the not very outstanding images. If I know that the locality has produced much better specimens that we have to show, I will usually include the locality and a picture or two and note in the text below the picture that there are better specimens and we will show them when we have better images available. Sometimes localities are suggested to us for inclusion and sometimes images are sent along with the suggested locality. Often the suggestions are really good. In such cases I don't automatically include them in the article, but will try and engage the party that makes the suggestion in helping with the project by asking questions about the image(s) and or the locality. Usually if they know enough to suggest the locality, they have more than average, and sometimes expert knowledge of the locality. We should make every effort to tap into this knowledge and to capture it in our articles.
Is this the final word about what images should and should not be included? Almost certainly not. Undoubtedly this text will be modified in the future as the project develops.

Permission to disable seeing any email addresses
if you are using 2.0 there is a form to email someone and their email address is not visible at all, but to the admin.
Yes, we do use the news letter feature. It's great except it does take a very, very long time (hours) when you have several thousand members. Sometimes it times out in the middle asking the admin to log in again but I figured out a hack way to get it to continue.
Thank you everyone for you help! I do hope they consider my requests for future versions.
no... not the newsletter... the basic members do not see each others emails... they get a form which sends the email from the system without showing the email address
Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen:
If I try to send Illori e-mail through SMF, this is what I see.
It shows my own e-mail, but apart from Illori's username - nothing else.
My e-mail address will be revealed to Illori if I send e-mail,
but I will only see Illori's e-mail address if Illori replies directly to me.
If somebody decide not to make his email visible, He'll always see his OWN email when he is visiting his OWN profile. Independing if it is vissible to others or not.

text: Theme ShowAs the 7,100 Arrowmen at NOAC filed into Assembly Hall on Wednesday night for the theme show, few understood the impact that a theme show can have. Passages was truly an experience that explained the Admonition and Obligation in a way that Arrowmen could never have expected. The show was set on a snowy evening. The audience was immersed in the experience as snow fell in Assembly Hall thanks to the magic of special effects. A large, old library filled the stage as we met the characters on screen. A group of four typical teenagers, Kris, Trey, Nick & Andy, were working late together on an English assignment from their teacher, Mrs. Fielding, in the local library. Each of the boys was assigned a passage of poetry to read, and to work together to discover what the authors were telling them of their own lives, and how they related to each other. Each of the characters becomes more defined as the story moves forward. We begin to know Trey as the stereotypical "jock". Kris is 17 and struggling with the major decisions of where he wants go go in life. Nick joins us as the youngest of the group, but also the most philosophical and introspective. Andy tends to be the "geek" of the group, although he is still accepted by his peers. Andy's mother happens to be the librarian, which allowed them to stay in the library as late as necessary. The audience gets to know the main characters better as they explain some of their actions through brief "asides" on the projection screen. As the boys begin to study the passages of poetry, they found that the feelings of the authors often mirrored their own. Each of them begins to feel that they will learn both about the authors, but more importantly, about themselves. The further they delved into the poetry, the more they felt that Mrs. Fielding assigned them the passages for a reason. Every piece of poetry seemed to coincidentally relate closely to each of the boys. During the evening, Jim, the reclusive evening librarian, stumbles upon the group and helps them with their assignment. Jim's profound insight into the poetry that they are studying becomes their biggest asset, as he helps them to understand the deeper meaning implied by the authors. As they got to know Jim better, the group discovered his blended past of pain and success. Jim requested that the group of boys stay in the library to complete their experience. The youth spent a night alone in silence and subjected themselves to the same tests required of Ordeal candidates. They awoke enlightened, after thinking about the poetry that they had studied the night before. The show closed with the boys committing themselves to the ideals of the Obligation. The show encouraged all Arrowmen to expose other people to the idea of cheerful service and the ideals of the Order of the Arrow. It showed clearly how the Ordeal experience can have a meaningful impact on a young man through the rest of his life. Revised 7/31/02 |

For some reason, mine has always been Rockstar by Nickelback on expert guitar. Yet since then, I have 100% Gold starred and scored higher on different songs.
Come on lets give these 5 artists some DLC love please!
Bruce Springsteen
Mumford and Sons
Fine Young Cannibals
Ocean Colour Scene
Hmm, it's killing loneliness by H.I.M. on expert guitar. Pity Pro Keys will never likely be my highest scoring instrument, as the amount of songs available for everything else just far outranks it.
It was The Way That It Shows on Expert Drums for quite a while.
I'm guessing over the holidays, my signature performance will be something on Pro Drums.
I'll have cheese and lettuce and marmite on the sandwich. and a coffee. [George,pre WMGGW]
Beatles Rock Band (All DLC)
E-Pro on X Guitar...somehow. It's nowhere near my best FC.
Apparently mine is I Can See for Miles by The Who, Expert Pro Drums, gold stars. Meh, I'd rather my signature performance be one of my #1 leaderboard spots on pro drums, which I have like 5 of.
Power of Love - Hewie Lewis and the News, expert guitar
I wish I could change that, but I got a darn near perfect score on it.
I never thought a game would be able to inspire the formation of a real band or strengthen friendships. Thank you Harmonix, for making Rock Band.
I wonder if mine will ever change from Obsession.
Wii FC: 0852-7640-5889-3902

Last DLC Bought: Fire
Cheesy Pop Song
by A Talking Fish
Expert Guitar, Gold stars
FC, and I got it without even trying. It was also the first time I FCed the second verse and pre-chorus in the same attempt.

In another, families were checking out a rescue helicopter.
In one part of the park, high school students were teaching about fire safety in a skit, in another, kids were promising to always wear their seatbelts when in cars.
The 12th Annual Safe Kids Families Involved Together (F.I.T.) Fair held last Saturday, was a chance for families throughout Davis County to learn more about health and safety while having fun.
At over 40 booths, kids learned about eating nutritious food, being safe in the water, wearing helmets when riding bikes or skating and staying active.
Intermountain Medical Group's Family Medicine had a popular booth to help kids become comfortable with doctors and hospitals – a teddy bear clinic.
Each child received a teddy bear, then were asked to name it and name it's medical concern.
Pinkilicious, Mario Luiji, Angry Bird and Billy Bob Joe VIII came through with problems ranging from broken arms from jumping on the bed, to ear infections, to the ill effects that follow swallowing a puzzle piece.

Animal Diaries Archive
2005 - january february march april may june july august september october november december
7 January 2005
Here in the mammals department a good part of our day involves giving enrichment to our gorgeous animals. It is not uncommon for our visitors to see the keepers walking through the Zoo with all sorts of contraptions.We believe that it is as important as any other aspect in keeping our animals fit and healthy. All of our animals get the chance and the choice to participate in various activities throughout the day, from tearing their way through a food parcel to playing with a giant soccerball.
It is by far the most enjoyable part of the day for the animals, the keepers, as well as the guests! People love to see our animals ripping into things and just having a plain old good time.
At the Zoo we are also lucky enough to offer our wombats, devils and possums the best form of enrichment possible - WALK TIME! We are able to put harnesses on them and take them outside of their enclosures for walks around the Zoo. Can you imagine how many smells go through the Zoo in one day? The wombats, devils and possums are able to take this all in and work out just who and what has been going on around the place.
It is a wonderful feeling being able to bring all sorts of activities and sensations to our animal's lives – different sights, sounds and smells. So next time you are at Australia Zoo keep an eye out for our walking kiddy ponds (one of our enrichment items) and you may be able to see the keepers and animals enjoy a bit of play time.

I applied online and the process took 3 days - interviewed at Amazon.com in November 2013.
Interview Details –
Applied for a intern position last year. Apparently all positions were full at the time and invited me to interview for a full time position this year instead.
Started off as 3 online technical questions. Know your basic data structures and algorithms in and out and it will be (and should be) a breeze. Remember to relax though.
If you pass they will invite you to a onsite interview. Amazon will take very good care of you during the interview process, flight, rooming, expenses will be all paid for (within reason).
The onsite interview will start off with lunch with a bunch of other candidates and some interviewers. Don't worry, you are NOT competing against each other, Amazon needs every smart person they can get.
After lunch they will move you to your testing room, where you stay and 4 interviewer will come in and out with various HR questions combined with the programming question.
Other --
Amazon will give you documents on what to expect during the interview. Honestly I think the process is very fair as they don't throw any curve balls.
Tips --
* Again, I cannot stress enough to know your data structures and algorithms (graph traversals, structures of dynamic programming, etc). They are the building blocks for solving any type of programming problem.
* Talk, no matter how stupid it sounds. Talk out what you're doing. Talk if you're stuck, talk if you have an idea, talk as you write down line for line.
* Always remember to smile this should be easy as you should be enjoying this. If not, you might be in the wrong field.
Being bombarded by 4 interviewers and while your brain is racing as fast as possible is exhausting. Amazon does not pay/reimburse alcoholic purchases. As many fellow interviewees genuinely wish to de-stress afterwards.
Interview Question – Honoring the NDA. If you want to be prepared, take a look at your old programming assignments. (Data structures, algorithms) can you do it from scratch? Most of it complete under an hour? What if they change it to another variant? Can you recognize it? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Good luck trying to negotiate, it's rather difficult. Heard that you can negotiate if you had another offer cough Microsoft cough

This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Iron Europe is a mod in progress for Mount&Blade Napoleonic Wars. We aim to fully immerse players in the brutal battlefields of World War I with new gameplay features, weapons, sounds, scene props, maps and animations. You'll be able to pick from a variety of classes with different weapon sets, strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to decide how you want to play. Then you'll be thrown into muddy, worn down trenches where you'll either be fighting off enemy assault troops, cowering from artillery fire, or preparing attacks to punch through enemy lines.
Planned Features
These are the features we'd like to have for our first public release. We'll definitely expand the mod to include more features in the future.
-New Factions; French Third Republic, German Empire
-New Classes
-New Weapons
-New sounds for firing, shooting, and background music
-Grenades with timer
-Working whistles and binoculars
-Attachable and detachable bayonets
-Mortars, infantry support guns, and other short range artillery
-Poison gas shells and gasmasks

This update shows a couple of our revamped French uniforms. The past few months have been spent focusing on Germany but France definitely needs some touching up. To reflect the uniqueness of each class, there are several different gear variations. Here are just a few of them.
All uniform models and textures by Rigadoon except for the boots and Chauchat pouches, by Betaknight.
This first image shows a M15 Poiret coat with full marching gear. Soldiers would often carry all of their equipment on assaults, so that they would be well supplied when holding enemy trenches.
Here is the uniform and equipment of a Chachaut armed automatic riflemen. The M14 type 4 Poiret was still largely in use during the mod's time period despite the M15 being introduced. Leather pouches allow the carrying of two Chauchat magazines. More magazines would be carried by an accompanying ammunition bearer.
Finally, we have an assault roll, which allowed soldiers to be fairly mobile while retaining the most important equipment. The greatcoat is a M14 type 1 modified into a type 4 by adding lower pockets. The type of blue fabric used varied widely throughout the war making it so that these modified uniforms often looked mismatched.
Little bonus, here's a morphine ampoule, available to the medical corps. Modeled and textured by KArantukki.
What's Next?
Like mentioned earlier, this update includes only small amount of the French uniforms. There will be far more variations and new equipment for officers and artilleryman. Modeling focus has shifted to artillery, specifically infantry support guns and mortars. As well, the mappers will be glad to here that we plan to release the mapping module for the next update along with some other fancy stuff that DanyEle has been working on.
Will there be more nations like Romania, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Ect?
WW1 was a huge moment for Canada in world history.
Mod looks amazing. Just want to ask; any chance you can add in Scottish regiments in whenever you can?
this mod is nearly a battlefield mod for mount and blade im very impressed good job guys.

Good day! The market had its strongest session in two and a half weeks on Monday as the indexes continued to correct from the sharp selloff that began with the news of a revolt in Egypt last month and escalated following Japan's 9.0 earthquake on Feb. 11.
The indexes hit and held strong support last week. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average each held its 100-day simple moving average. Since then we've seen a steady recovery take place. The swings on the 15-minute charts have not been as pronounced as on the decline, however, and a lot of the upside has occurred outside regular market hours following the market recoveries overseas. This has made it a trickier environment for day traders in the U.S. markets since the intraday action over the past three trading days, and particularly on Friday and Monday, were quite compact and choppy. All of the upside has taken place within each session during the first 30-60 minutes of the day.
Dow Jones Industrial Average
As we head into Tuesday morning we are once again seeing premarket action up off afterhours lows. The pullback from Monday morning highs continued after the closing bell with steady, but gradual selling into midnight. By this point the 15 minute trend was already extended on the upside with the indices hitting resistance on the daily time frame from the previous congestion zone in the Dow and S&P 500, as well as the 20 day moving averages. The rally also had three distinct highs within the move off last week's lows. This meant that once the index futures pulled back to the lower end of that uptrend channel into midnight last night, they had a much more difficult time reacting to it and the bounce was less pronounced than earlier premarket moves.
The Dow futures were the strongest premarket performers due to a weaker pullback afterhours on Monday. This allowed it to retest Monday's highs in premarket trade early on Tuesday morning. Slightly higher highs created a trap I call a "2T". This is a sign of a weakening trend. The push into the second high was still on strong momentum, so the reversal off it was not a sharp one to begin with, but we should see the market trying to catch its breath as we head into mid-week as it reacts to the intermediate daily resistance. On the larger time frames, a correction on the 30-60 minute charts is still going to favor the bulls based upon current price action, so use caution on shorts other than day trades or positions that are not tied heavily to the overall market bias.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) had a gain of 178.01 points, or 1.5%, and closed at 12,036.53 on Monday. The strongest performers in the Dow were Boeing (BA) (+3.04%), Alcoa (AA) (+2.73%), Exxon Mobil (XOM) (+2.46%), and General Electric (GE) (+2.44%). Only three components in the Dow posted a loss. They were Pfizer (PFE) (-1.04), Kraft Foods (KFT) (-0.32%), and JP Morgan Chase (JPM) (-0.24).
The S&P 500 ($SPX) rose 19.18 points, or 1.5%, and closed at 1,298.38. The strongest percentage performers in the index were American Intl. Group (AIG) (+5.95%), CBS Corp. (CBS) (+5.51%), Rowan Cos. (RDC) (+5.49%), Textron Inc. (TXT) (+5.37%), and Tiffany & Co. (TIF) (+5.11%). Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) (-13.66%), American Tower Corp. (AMT) (-7.92%), Qwest Communications Intl. (Q) (-3.46%), and Centurylink Inc. (CTL) (-3.23%) were the biggest losers. Telecoms were in play on news that AT&T (T) had agreed to buy T-Mobil from Deutsche Telekom, making AT&T the largest mobile phone provider if the deal goes through.
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session higher by 48.42 points, or 1.83%, on Monday and it closed at 2,692.09. The strongest p Wynn Resorts (WYNN) (+4.55%), Paccar Inc.

Nasdaq 100
On the data front, the first half of the week will be focused on real estate. On Monday the National Association of Realtors reported that February existing home sales fell 9.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.88 million from an upwardly revised 5.4 million in January. This was more than expected. Many economists are expecting the housing market to stabilize this year, but a number still predict prices to slip further before 2014. On Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. ET is the FHFA Housing Price Index. This is followed on Wednesday at 7:00 a.m. ET by the MBA Mortgage Index and the 10:00 a.m. ET new home sales data.
The earnings docket is light this week, but some names to keep an eye on are Carnival (CCL), Dollar General (DG), Walgreens (WAG), Adobe Systems (ADBE), and Discover (DIS) on Tuesday; General Mills (GIS) on Wednesday; Best Buy (BBY), GameStop (GME), Lennar (LEN), Oracle (ORCL), and Research In Motion (RIMM) on Thursday; and KBHome (KBH) on Friday. Both Tiffany & Co. (TIF) and Oracle (ORCL) have high levels of exposure in Japan and investors will be watching for affects upon the companies resulting from Japan's economic distress.
Unless otherwise stated, the index action described in this article relates to the E-mini futures contracts for the respective indices. Actual index action may differ slightly in terms of pattern formation, although the market bias will remain the same.

QualityStocks would like to highlight Genta, Inc., a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company with a diversified product portfolio that is focused on delivering innovative products for the treatment of patients with cancer. The company is developing tesetaxel, a novel, orally absorbed taxane that is in the same class of drugs as paclitaxel and docetaxel.
In the company's news yesterday,
Genta announced that it has added the first patient to a new randomized trial of tesetaxel as initial chemotherapy for women with advanced or recurrent breast cancer.
The company expects to enroll 220 patients for the 12-month, randomized phase 2b study, which will be conducted across 15 sites in the U.S. and Western Europe.
The participating women will not have previously received chemotherapy for metastatic or recurrent disease, though eligible patients who are HER2-negative may have received adjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy.
The study will compare two oral chemotherapy agents; patients will be randomized to one of three treatment groups administered twice per day for 14 consecutive days. The primary endpoint of the trial is overall response rate; secondary endpoints include progression-free survival and safety.
In the previously conducted two phase 2a studies, tesetaxel was generally well-tolerated. In the first study, 13 of 34 patients (38 percent) achieved a major objective response, and 11 patients achieved stable disease, for a disease control rate of 70 percent. In the second trial, 20 of 44 patients (45 percent) achieved major objective responses with a disease-control rate of 82 percent.
"Our preliminary results suggest that tesetaxel may compare favorably with capecitabine across a number of parameters, including response, safety, convenience, and compliance," Dr. Loretta M. Itri, Genta's president and chief medical officer stated in the press release. "Genta has now completed two, non-randomized, phase 2a studies comprised of more than 80 patients. The Company has been engaged in extended discussions with regulatory authorities in the U.S. and EU regarding potential registration strategies for tesetaxel in breast cancer. We believe this new study will provide a firm basis for a phase 3 trial design as first-line chemotherapy in this patient population."

NEW YORK — A "terribly wrong" miniseries about events leading to the Sept. 11 attacks blame President Clinton's policies, former Clinton administration officials said in letters demanding that ABC correct it or not air it.
But in a statement released Thursday afternoon in apparent response to the growing uproar, ABC said, "No one has seen the final version of the film, because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible."
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Clinton Foundation head Bruce Lindsey and Clinton adviser Douglas Band wrote in the past week to Robert Iger, CEO of ABC's parent The Walt Disney Co., to express concern over "The Path to 9/11."
Clinton spokesperson Jay Carson told MSNBC in a statement, "ABC/Disney acknowledges this show is fiction and in direct contradiction of the 9/11 Commission Report and the facts, and it is despicable that ABC/Disney would insist on airing a fictional version of what is a serious and emotional event for our country.
"No reputable organization should dramatize 9/11 for a profit at the expense of the truth."
The two-part miniseries, scheduled to be broadcast on Sunday and Monday, is drawn from interviews and documents including the report of the Sept. 11 commission. ABC has described it as a "dramatization" as opposed to a documentary.
"For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, and time compression," ABC said in its statement. "We hope viewers will watch the entire broadcast of the finished film before forming an opinion about it."
Content 'incontrovertibly inaccurate'
The letter writers said the miniseries contained factual errors, and that their requests to see it had gone unanswered.
"By ABC's own standard, ABC has gotten it terribly wrong," Lindsey and Band said in their letter.
"The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has a duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely. It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."
The letters pointed out examples of scenes they had been told were in the miniseries, but which they said never happened. Albright objected to a scene that she was told showed her insisting on warning the Pakistani government before an airstrike on Afghanistan, and that she was the one who made the warning.
Other political news of note
Paul says his economic plan is the only hope for depressed areas such as Detroit
Sen. Rand Paul, a possible contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, said Sunday that his plan to spur job creation in high unemployment areas is the only politically viable plan to help depressed cities, with Detroit as the prime example.
- Mandela biographer says prison 'crucible' steeled him and led to victory
- Clinton: Mandela's example 'went way beyond political leadership'
- Obamas to attend memorial service for Mandela
- Fasting for reform: Strikers starve over immigration
Paul says his economic plan is the only hope for depressed areas such as Detroit
"The scene as explained to me is false and defamatory," she said.
Berger objected to a scene that he was told showed him refusing to authorize an attack on Osama bin Laden despite the request from CIA officials. "The fabrication of this scene (of such apparent magnitude) cannot be justified under any reasonable definition of dramatic license," he wrote.
Fears of misinterpretation
Lindsey and Band objected to advertisements for the miniseries, which they said suggested that Clinton wasn't paying enough attention to the threat of terrorism.
"While ABC is promoting "The Path to 9/11" as a dramatization of historical fact, in truth it is a fictitious rewriting of history that will be misinterpreted by millions of Americans," they said. "Given your stated obligation to 'get it right,' we urge you to do so by not airing this drama until the egregious factual errors are corrected, an endeavor we could easily assist you with given the opportunity to view the film."
The five-hour miniseries is set to run without commercial interruption. Director David Cunningham said it was a massive undertaking, with close to 250 speaking parts, more than 300 sets, and a budget of $40 million. Cunningham has said he shot 550 hours of film. The cast includes Harvey Keitel, Patricia Heaton and Donnie Wahlberg.
MSNBC and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Tony Scott Talks 'The Warriors' Remake
3.06.09 # Remake # 71 Comments
Tony Scott ranks pretty high up the list of action directors. So if you were to do a remake of an action packed cult-classic, he's definitely the guy to go to, and luckily for 'The Warriors' that's exactly what they did. The film is extremely beloved, so when remaking it there are only really two ways you can go without pissing everyone off. Do a shot for shot, identical movie such as the Omen remake or stray so far from the original that the new film stands on it's own and can be appreciated separately from the original such as The Thing remake of The Fly remake. It looks like Scott is going down the second road.
From MTV -
"The Warriors" is a modern classic, the tale of a gang making their way from the Bronx to Coney Island while a city full of rivals hunts them.
"I'm not doing a straight remake," [Scott] told RT. "I love the original 'Warriors' and I'm using the same basic story. It's really still 10 guys stuck at point B and they need to get back to point A. But I'm going to set it in Los Angeles and it's going to be a kind of study of gang culture in LA today."
Scott revealed to RT that he's been speaking with local LA gangs, specifically naming the "Crips, Bloods, The 18th Street Gang [and] The Vietnamese." The response has been positive so far as Scott tells it; many gang members have seen the original and are excited about the possibility of getting involved with the remake.
As a native New Yorker, I'm not terribly pleased to hear about the change of venue but I suppose it makes sense. Los Angeles is a very different sort of location; Scott describes it as "a city which is horizontal." His vision? "I'm hoping to get a hundred thousand real gang members standing on the Vincent Thomas Bridge for one shot." The number sounds a bit large, but I like the ambition Tony!
Having never seen the original, the film holds no special place in my heart, but I know how much some people love the films and the idea of remaking it might upset a lot of people, however it is definitely possible to re-imagine a film and come up with something as good as if not better than the original, as I mentioned before The Thing was remade after about 30 years and both films are now considered horror classics. It has been about 30 years since The Warriors was made, is it about time it was updated?
(Update 2012) With director Tony Scott's tragic death, don't expect the movie to happen in the next couple of years.
