Flickr blocked and Flickr blocks?
So Flickr has had an interesting couple of days on both sides of the restrictions fence.
First, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Flickr says it is being blocked in China.
"In postings on its Web site Thursday, Flickr said it was experiencing no technical problems and that its service was in fact being blocked, without saying by whom," The Chronicle wrote on its Web site late Friday night. "In an update Friday, co-founder Stewart Butterfield wrote that the Web site's staff is checking on the issue periodically and that the blocking continues.

Mandela 'steadily improving' on 95th birthday
ABOVE PHOTO: An electronic billboard announces Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday in New York's Times Square, Thursday, July 18, 2013. South Africa celebrated Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday on Thursday, a milestone capped by news that the former president's health was improving after fears that he was close to death during ongoing hospital treatment.
(AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa celebrated Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday with acts of charity on Thursday, a milestone capped by news that the former president's health was improving after fears that he was close to death during ongoing hospital treatment.
"He continues to respond positively to treatment and we are encouraged by the progress he is making," President Jacob Zuma said after visiting Mandela. A statement from Zuma's office said Mandela was steadily improving.
"We are proud to call this international icon our own as South Africans and wish him good health," Zuma said in the statement. He thanked South Africans for supporting Mandela during his hospitalization with "undying love and compassion" and responding to a call to give the beloved figure "the biggest birthday celebration ever this year."
The anti-apartheid leader was taken to a Pretoria hospital on June 8 for treatment for a recurring lung infection. In previous announcements, the government said he was in critical but stable condition. Court documents filed by Mandela's family earlier this month had said Mandela was on life support.
Mandela is making "remarkable progress," said one of his daughters, Zindzi, on Thursday, after tense weeks in which some South Africans talked about the possibility that Mandela was on the verge of dying.
"We look forward to having him back at home soon," the South African Press Association quoted Zindzi Mandela as saying during the government rollout of a digital ID card system.
Ndileka Mandela, a granddaughter of Mandela, poured soup for poor children at a charity event and said her family had been unsure about whether her grandfather would live to see his birthday.
"But because of the fighter that he is, he was able to fight a repressive system, and he was able, through God and everybody's prayers, to make it today," she said.
Thursday also marked the 15th wedding anniversary of Mandela and Graca Machel, the former First Lady of Mozambique who has spent much of the time at her husband's side during his illness.
Many South Africans volunteered 67 minutes for charity to match what organizers said were the 67 years of public service by Mandela, leader of the fight against white minority rule.
"We don't only recognize him on this day. We put smiles on other people's faces, we donate to other people less fortunate," Thato Williams, a 13-year-old student, said during an assembly in Mandela's honor at Melpark Primary School in Johannesburg. Some 700 students there sang "Happy Birthday" in a hall filled with posters created to honor Mandela's contributions to peace and education.
President Zuma opened low-cost housing for poor black and white families in the Pretoria area. South Africa is struggling with high unemployment, labor unrest, service delivery shortcomings and other social challenges that have dampened the expectations of a better life for black South Africans after the end of apartheid two decades ago.
Retired archbishop Desmond Tutu helped to paint a school outside Cape Town, saying Mandela makes South Africans "walk tall" and urging compatriots to refrain from divisive behavior.
Elsewhere, social workers, military commanders and private company employees others planted trees, cleaned classrooms and donated food, blankets and other basic necessities in poor areas. Doctors administered eye tests, inoculations and other medical treatments.
Visiting Pretoria, European Union President Herman Van Rompuy packed food parcels and said his two sons were fans of Mandela, whom he described as "the brightest sun of South Africa."
The U.N has declared July 18 as Nelson Mandela International Day as a way of recognizing the Nobel Peace Prize winner's contribution to reconciliation. A procession was held in India to honor Mandela. In Washington, U.S. congressional leaders planned a ceremony later Thursday.
Mandela was jailed for 27 years under apartheid and led a difficult transition from apartheid to democracy, becoming president in all-race elections in 1994. He served one five-year term, evolving into a global statesman and pursuing charitable causes after that. He retired from public life years ago.
"South Africa is a better place today than it was in 1994 and this is because of the contribution made by Madiba and his collective," the ruling African National Congress, once led by Mandela, said in a statement.
The ANC was the leading liberation movement during apartheid, and has dominated politics since the end of white rule. However, it has come under increasing criticism because of corruption scandals and frustration over poverty and other problems.
In recent months, the ANC and opposition groups have sought to emphasize their connections to Mandela's legacy in the fight for democracy, leading to accusations of political opportunism on both sides.
F.W. de Klerk, the last president of the apartheid era, said in a statement that Mandela's birthday "should be a time for quiet and respectful contemplation — and not for unseemly squabbling over the ownership of Mr Mandela's heritage."
He continued: "Throughout his life he has been a loyal and stalwart member of the ANC — but I believe that through his example and through his unwavering commitment to national reconciliation — all South Africans, regardless of their race or political affiliation, can now proudly call him their own."
De Klerk shared the Nobel prize with Mandela in 1993 because he effectively negotiated his own government out of power, working on a political transition with Mandela that allayed fears of all-out racial conflict.
Mandela's former wife said she wanted to reassure South Africans who fear the eventual death of Mandela, a unifying figure, would open the way to unrest.
"There are sometimes prophets of doom who say the country will come to a standstill," said Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, herself a prominent figure in the anti-apartheid movement, in an interview with South Africa's Radio 702.
However, she said: "The country will solidify, come together and carry on."
+ Top Story
Most of Nelson Mandela's handwriting is neat, but it harbors a few mysteries. Archivists sometimes struggle to decipher words in the vast body of documents that Mandela penned, and he often jotted an acronym that nobody, not even the former South African president in later years, has been able to explain.
Four investigations, hundreds of testimonies and stacks of medical reports on Yasser Arafat's unexplained death in 2004 have failed to produce hard evidence of what killed him - and findings presented Friday only created more confusion.
Students from some of the toughest neighborhoods in Jamaica's capital hunched over school desks, clacking wooden dominoes, pausing to ponder their next move and razzing opponents with good-natured taunts. "Look out, here comes the end of the game! Nobody can stop it," said 20-year-old Chevon Brown.
Five African-American gentlemen in full 1860s-era Union troop regalia marched toward the west side of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia. Two of them held the Tennessee and United States flags, a slight breeze brushing leaves past their feet as clouds covered the sky.

Death Valley National Park
Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 1:49PM
The second image was taken of hikers at Zabriskie Point, also just before sunset. The heat in Death Valley is phenomenal and can almost be seen in the texture and colors of the earth there. The colors there at Zabriskie Point are stunning making horizontal patterns in the hills. The hiking there is a real adventure that few, understandably, take on in that heat.
The last two images are from an adventurous and long, off-road drive from Ubehebe Crater out to Racetrack Playa. Racetrack Playa is a dry lake-bed in a narrow valley that is not accessible by some cars due to the rough unpaved road and lack of assistance in the event of getting flat tires or other mechanical trouble. On the way you'll pass a notorious landmark called Tea Kettle Junction. I have no idea how that got started but I find it comical that it continues to this day as I've read recent accounts of tea kettle donations made there. The dry lake bed is remarkable. You could close your eyes and ignore the visual surroundings and, without help, feel the intense heat of the basin. But taking in the visual aspects as well really makes for a surreal movie-like experience in a truly beautiful desert.

The features in this set are totally above my expectations! Firstly, I must say that the Police truck was my favorite part of this set-- rare colors (for a truck), high ground clearance and a lot of customizeability! Its tough, compact design makes it easy to play with, and you never have to worry about bricks falling off. It also features an opening hatch with a fairly large cargo compartment (which is quite simple to make even bigger). The helicopter is tiny compared to most, making it easy to play with (and feature in videos). It has a lot of detail including a tail rotor and positional lights. The Police station itself is designed to be played with, featuring an open back (making video recording a cinch!) and a lookout bridge. The office has a detailed computer monitor and keyboard, a swiveling chair at the desk, and a cool coffee machine inside, with an access ladder in the back to get on the aforementioned bridge. On this bridge sit a radar system and a satellite dish, giving it a special 'forest' feel. Underneath the bridge there is also a cool opening gate. The jail cell has a bunk, removable mailbox (for breaking out thieves!), and an open back for playability. The roomy rock opens so you can stash cash (or maybe find evidence of a robbery). The tree by the rock is also very cool in structure, because you can place almost any LEGO object in it! The Minifigures have awesome outfits: special Police uniforms and torn jail shirts! The bear, crowbar, pickaxe and Police radio are very nice additions to my accessory collection! No matter if you record videos, play alone, or play with friends, you would not regret purchasing this set. And even if you don't like the Police station, it comes with all the essentials for redesigning into any building you would need anyway!

My 9 year old son LOVES this he saved his money to get it himself.... He put it together the day he recieved it in the mail. His only complaint was that it didnt take him long enough (an hour and a half on his own) to put together needs more pieces he said. My son is a lego fanatic. He can't get enough of them.

Another Police Station...
By Devaud
from Undisclosed
I was a little surprised that I got this for Christmas. It is a good set, but could probably be a little cheaper for what you get. Sure you get a lot of accessories, but still is $80... Pros: ~ A lot of things ~ Headquarters with jail cells and beds for once! ~ (2) vehicles and (5) minifigures ~ Helicopter Cons: ~ A steep price for yet another police station ~ No landing base for the helicopter

Fun for kids
By stevesheriw
from Fort Worth
My youngest son received this set for Christmas. He really enjoys it with all of the minifigures and features. There are two badguys, three police officers, and a bear. Two of the police officers have the forest ranger type hat and one is female. The other police figure is the helicopter pilot. There are some prop pieces such as a crowbar and pickax. The bear comes in one piece and is fairly decent sized compared to the minifigures. The robbers have an all terrain vehicle to transport money and gold bars and hid them in a rock and tree feature. Also included is a police all terrain vehicle with a hatchback and a helicopter. I like this better than the regular city police station perhaps due to the forest theme. I do think this structure looks more interesting, and it provides a bit more color with the greens and browns in addition to the blues and whites. There is a jail with an escape feature through a mailbox. Also, a gate and radio tower are part of the assembly. The interior consists of two chambers. One is the jail with three beds, and the other is the office with a rotating chair and computer desk. Other features include the wanted poster, map, and the coffee maker/refrigerator. There are some stickers, so young ones might need a little help with this. Otherwise, the station is fairly easy to build and the instructions are easy to follow. This certainly is my son's favorite gift, and he should enjoy it for a long time.

NewsChannel 7's Colin Mayfield, along with other media from Wisconsin, is taking a tour Thursday of the former site of a large scale marijuana grow in Oconto County.
The U.S. Forestry Service says on August 29, 8,385, marijuana plants and 125-150 lbs. of process marijuana were confiscated from the Chequamegon-Nicolet Forest. Investigators had been working for several months investigating the grow site from Doty to Mountain.
Maria Blanca Garcia, Miguel Sanchez-Garcia, Pedro Infante-Ramirez, Guillermo Chavez-Carrion, Jose Alfredo Sierra-Aguilar and Juan Carlos Cervantes Contreras are all charged with with conspiracy to manufacture and possess marijuana with the intent to deliver. Authorities say only Blanca Garcia is in the United States legally.
In June, a fisherman called the DNR after noticing a marijuana grow along the south branch of the Oconto River near Highway T. Aerial surveillance confirmed the presence of at least three cultivation sites. Several weeks later, eight to 10 more sites were identified. Law enforcement agents installed cameras to monitor traffic in and out the grow site.
According to the criminal complaint, officers began noticing the same vehicle near the grow site. In July, they obtained a warrant and were able to install a GPS tracking unit on the vehicle. The vehicle is registered to Maria Blanca Garcia, of Brandon, Wis. A record check shows that prior to the fall of 2011, she lived in Othello, Washington. A second warrant was obtained to install a tracker on another vehicle belonging to Blanca Garcia.
The investigation intensified on August 21 after an agent spotted several large garbage bags near Highway T and Highway 64 near the Oconto County grow site. Inside the bags were processed marijuana divided and vacuumed sealed in more bags. The criminal complaint states the bags were picked up overnight. On August 25, officers began to monitor the two vehicles registered to Blanca Garcia. An agent with Drug Enforcement Administration noted that one of the vehicles, a Grand Prix was driving in manner to perhaps identify or lose surveillance officers. A state patrol officer stopped the vehicle on Highway 41 in Winnebago County and detained all of the occupants. DEA had been collecting evidence on the suspects for weeks and were able to confirm their identities. The individuals arrested included the driver, Maria Blanca Garcia and three passengers; Jose Alfredo Sierra-Aguilar, Pedro Enfante-Ramirez, and Guillermo Chavez-Carrio.
Agents also stopped the other vehicle registered to Blanca Garcia and arrested Juan Carlos Cervantes-Contreras. During a search of the vehicle investigators found a hand-drawn map to the grow site.
About 200 federal, state, tribal and local officers have been involved. Investigators are still trying to find out how long marijuana was being grown in the area.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen agreed. "These kinds of grows present a significant public safety and environmental hazard," he said. "Ultimately, we want to prevent these grows from ever taking hold and the drugs from winding up on the street, but we need the public's help in reporting what they see if something that strikes them as suspicious."
Officials say people should be aware of the following:
•Signs of activity or items that suggest someone is living in an area. This includes huts, tents, irrigation hoses, watering jugs and chemical containers; and,
•Signs of disturbed vegetation, such as abnormal cuttings or the clearing of small areas.
If suspicious activity is found, notify local law enforcement. The WDNR also operates a confidential tip line staffed round-the-clock for reporting suspected or observed illegal activity.
The number is 1-800-TIP-WDNR (1-800-847-9367 or cell #367). You also can call the DCI toll-free at 1-800-NAB-DRUG (1-800-622-3784)

Does anyone know if there is a site that let's you search the (Christian) Bible and also provides an API to their search? Preferably free but not mandatory. Support of the NIV would also be ideal.
Logos.com (publisher of Bible software) offers a Reftagger API that provides an instant popup of a verse's text when you have the verse reference listed. It looks to be a nice alternative to just having the text listed straight away. | |||||
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are after but I found ESV's web service to look pretty good: http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/share/services/ Hope that helps | |||||||||||||||||
Bible.org has a nice API that will allow you to pull text to embed directly on your site. It is using standard web requests, so it shouldn't be anything difficult to implement. I'm not quite sure what version they are using. | |||||||||||||
eBible.com exposes an API. | |||||
I love Bible Gateway. The URLs are easily replicable, and they have a variety of translations, including the NIV. I don't know if this qualifies as an API, per se, but it's how I do automated searches. Example searches:

just a note, none of the aforementioned coilover setups are really that bad. none are backbreaking and the worst they can do is mess up your hair. and if you're going to do 9.5 +20 all around with two inches of drop you're going to poke mad especially with no camber adjustment. chances are your car is going to look mad wack. and all that fitment may look great in photo, but in person it looks wrong. stance, to me, is one of those things that you HAVE to go big or go home because anything in between is just ugly.
just my two cents.
but i mean correct me if i'm wrong but it seems like you're rushing this? it's always better to save up and buy a better product that offers a wider range of adjustability rather than going with the first and cheapest option you can find.
just my four cents.

For example, if I were to do a plot of Sin[x]

that has been flipped upside down and placed underneath the first one, in this way, the plot is logarithmic in distance from the x-axis, and can show both positive and negative values.

STATEWIDE, NC (WECT) – Nearly 400 people not wearing seatbelts
died in traffic accidents on North Carolina roads in 2011, according to the NC
Department of Transportation.
In an effort to lower that number, NCDOT Secretary Gene
Conti announced Monday the launch of the statewide "Click it or Ticket"
Law enforcement officers will increase seat belt enforcement
efforts during the campaign which runs through Nov. 25.
"We want everyone to make it home safely, not only during
the holidays, but all year long," said Secretary Conti in a press release. "So
buckle up, and make sure your passengers are buckled up, also."

Oral argument: Nov. 9, 2011
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Mar. 31, 2010)
In response to the largest beef recall in United States history, California amended its Penal Code to ban the slaughtering of nonambulatory animals and require that slaughterhouses euthanize any such animals on their premises. The National Meat Association filed suit arguing that the Federal Meat Inspection Act expressly preempts California's ban on the slaughter of nonambulatory animals, and that the Federal Meat Inspection Act's historical context demonstrates Congress's intent to exercise exclusive authority over the meatpacking industry. Attorney General of California Kamala Harris and animal protection organizations (including the Humane Society of the United States) propose a narrow understanding of slaughterhouse "operations" and argue that the California ban does not undermine the Federal Meat Inspection Act's purpose. The outcome of this case will affect the slaughterhouses' ability to examine animals for disease before euthanizing them and states' ability to regulate areas where general federal law already exists.

WOW, what a trail race! This course was brutally tought and the temps were a bit warm as well. But, overall the experience was amazing. The course has a tough climb from miles 4-9 but that is where you get the best views of the day. Some quick decents then relatively flat back half marathon. There are 2 quick and tough climbs on the back side of the run but they have aid stations at the top so you get to rest briefly. The aid stations were well stocked, and the volunteers were great. No spectators on the course (thats whu I gave it a 5 star). Its a trail marathon, there should not be any spectators. Just you getting your butt through 26miles! Recommendations for runners; get some altitude training before this run. Include downhills since this really fatigues your quads. Bring a camelback/nathan back or hand-held water device. It was hot and dry out tehre and drinking only at the aid stations will not work. Overall a great experience. It was probably the toughest trail run I have ever done, but well organized and lots of fun.
Well organized. Difficult but not terrible. Only crossing a flat portion of the course where you are exposed to wind is not pleasant. LOTS of hills up and down. A lot of soft dirt. You definitely need to carry a water bottle that you can refill at every aid station. Dehydration is a concern because of the altitude, wind and low-humidity. Spectators were limited to the aids stations. They did a great job and were very helpful.
This has to rank among the top marathons I have run. It is so beautiful in the mountains of New Mexico. This race starts at 8,000 ft elevation. From miles 3 to 10 you trek up the side of the mountain to 10,000 feet. Then it is primarily down hill to mile 19. The rises at 19 and 20 did not go as high as the first, but were equally challenging because the the grade was so steep that not only you couldn't run it, but it was difficult to walk them entirely. Much of this because of the altitude, it was difficult to ever catch your breath up there. The final 5 miles were downhill. Race organization was very good. Aid stations had all sorts of food and drink. My only two complaints about the organization: 1. No vasoline at the aid stations 2. Lack of pre-race information. Until a week prior to the race I did not know the race start time or when/where packet pick-up would be. A few tweaks and this race would be perfect. I would definitely run this marathon again.
Really great aid stations, as they should be for a hardcore, 9,000 feet-plus trail run. Spectacular scenery and an amazingly hard course.

Secaucus's Second Annual Health Fair on May 12 at the Recreation Center featured a number of health-related vendors from acupuncturists to yoga and Reiki practitioners. Residents learned about local health services and organizations, alternative health therapies, and others in addition to getting free medical screenings for blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol from the Meadowlands Hospital.
People also weighed in for the "Biggest Winner," a two-month weight loss challenge that is part of the Mayor's Wellness Campaign. The mission of the campaign is to equip mayors and other key leaders with the tools to develop and implement active-living initiatives in their communities with the ultimate goal of improving health and reducing the skyrocketing health care costs that come with the obesity problem in New Jersey.
"I want to be in better health and better shape." – Meredith Buckingham
Promoting sustainability
The mayor and Town Council of Secaucus officially launched local participation in the statewide initiative with the Biggest Winner program. Competitors paid a $20 entrance fee to participate. Women compete separately from men. The male and female with the most weight loss wins the pot of money.
"This is part of becoming a sustainable community," said Mayor Michael Gonnelli. The town seeks to become certified by the state as a Sustainable Jersey municipality, which recognizes community efforts to go green and implement practices that improve quality of life.
"I went around to a couple of towns to see what they were doing," said Lisa Snedeker, director of senior and social services. She said that she learned about the Biggest Winner contest from Pompton Lakes, which had held the contest in partnership with a fitness center.
"It doesn't cost us anything to do. It is just an incentive for people to lose weight," said Snedeker. Kipnis Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine is the contest sponsor. Kipnis will offer exercise advice and healthy tips.
She said that participants can choose any exercise plan or weight loss program to lose weight. The final weigh-in is July 12.
Snedeker said the town intends to host future contests and will promote other activities that promote healthy living.
"A little bit of competition never hurt anybody," said Snedeker.
Snedeker versus Gonnelli in weight loss challenge
Gonnelli said he planned to enter the contest as well and that if he wins he will contribute the winnings to the Secaucus Emergency Fund, a nonprofit the town started to help people in need of financial assistance.
"I'm giving up desserts," said Gonnelli regarding his strategy to lose weight. To lose between 18 and 24 pounds, he said he will also embark on a rigorous walking campaign and may even become a pescetarian, a person who eats vegetables and fish but not meat.
"I'm going to beat him," said Snedeker. She plans to participate in the contest alongside the other competitors and said she would lose more weight than Gonnelli, even if at least a pound more regardless of his goal. "It is me against him. He's in trouble!"
Eleven people had signed up to compete in the Biggest Winner challenge during the Health Fair.
"Because I want to be in better health and better shape," said Meredith Buckingham about why she joined the competition. A registered nurse at Meadowlands Hospital, Buckingham had spent the day conducting health screenings. She said she wanted to lose 15 pounds and planned to reach her goal by going to the gym.
"I think it is great that they are promoting healthy lifestyles and wellness," said Latoya Francis, marketing director for Kipnis.
Good day for health lessons
Yolanda Quisido, a registered nurse at Meadowlands Hospital, had completed up to 75 medical screenings when local resident John Xu stopped by to have his blood pressure read.
Quisido said it had been a busy day.
"It was busy this morning," said Phyllis Simerman, local resident. She recently started a new business, BrainCore Therapy, which focuses on using non-invasive approaches to control brain waves and help alleviate stress and headaches among other ailments.
"People are interested," said Eleanora Bowers. Bowers, a local resident, is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist who moved back to Secaucus last year after living on the West Coast.
"People didn't grow up with Chinese medicine," she noted.
While outside the Recreation Center a table was set up with adoptable shelter pets, inside Kelly Wilkes offered pet health services through her recently launched company Fur, Feathers, Fins and Skins.
Residents also perused healthcare products at Christine Eck's table, which had sandalwood cream, natural oils, and a diffuser that released a lavender scented mist among other items. Lifelong resident Eck is a certified Reiki Practitioner and Yoga Instructor.
"We've given out a lot of information about breast health awareness," said Sharon Simon, local resident, who staffed the Susan G. Komen Foundation table.
Students from Wrap 4 A Smile handed out hygiene kits, which included washcloths, deodorant, toothpaste, lotion, and toilet paper among other personal care items.
Secaucus high school junior Brezette Mitchell said the day had been pretty good and that the group had handed out several kits.

Plane makes emergency landing on a Florida highway
A pilot is forced to make an emergency landing on a Florida highway after losing power during a routine inspection flight.
PT0M42S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ut37 620 349 October 3, 2013- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback
- Video settings
A pilot made an emergency landing on a highway in Florida, US, after his plane lost power.
Pilot Curtis Boulware was flying with a customer who was looking to buy the 1956 Beechcraft T-34 Mentor Trainer plane, when it suddenly lost power during its descent towards Spruce Creek Airport.
We made a turn and decided to put it on State Road 415 because that was the best choice
Mr Boulware made the decision to attempt a landing on the road when he realised the plane would probably not make it to the airport, and would land in nearby woods instead.
"We made a turn and decided to put it on State Road 415 because that was the best choice," Mr Boulware said. "I made the judgement and knew we weren't going to make the runway so instead of continuing on to Spruce Creek and ending up in the woods or the trees, where we probably wouldn't make it, we decided to make a turn and put it on State Road 415."
The vintage plane landed safely on State Road 415, and was able to take off again shortly after the emergency landing to undergo further inspection at the airport.
Nobody was hurt in the incident, and the Federal Aviation Administration has declined to investigate because no actual crash occurred.

Two news stories Toni will HATE
by Josh K - 5/1/12 3:54 PM
Dow closes at a 4-year high
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks moved solidly higher Tuesday as investors welcomed a rise in U.S. manufacturing activity and a mixed batch of corporate earnings
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) rose 66 points, or 0.5%, to close at 13,279.40, the highest since December 2007.
The S&P 500 (SPX) added 8 points, or 0.6%, and is just a handful of points shy of a 2012 high. The tech-heavy Nasdaq (COMP) increased 4 points, or 0.1%.
The day's gains were broad, with more than 70% of the Dow's 30 components ending in positive territory.
Countering signs that the U.S. economic recovery may be slowing, investors were encouraged by a report that showed manufacturing activity grew last month at the fastest pace since June 2011.
U.S. auto sales continue at strong pace
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. auto sales are still in the fast lane.
Automakers released April sales figures Thursday, which came in mostly ahead of expectations and prompted further optimism about the industry's outlook in the months to come.
The encouraging April figures come on the heels of the best quarter for auto sales in the United States since the first three months of 2008, before gas prices spiked and the financial crisis hit its peak.
"The first-quarter strength in new vehicle sales was not a blip or an accident -- we're seeing stable growth in new vehicle sales," said Jesse Toprak, an analyst with sales tracker TrueCar.
Industrywide U.S. sales rose 9% versus April 2011, according to sales tracker Autodata, which puts the annual pace of sales at 14.4 million vehicles when adjusted for seasonal factors.
Overall for 2012, TrueCar projects 14.5 million sales in the U.S., up from 12.8 million last year.
OK, hang on folks, here comes the spin....
