The Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County's Main Library ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) project is going out for rebidding which will add a few weeks to the project but save the library money in costs.
"The rebidding process will add a few weeks to the initial startup of the project's construction," said Library Director Alan Hall. "The bids came in more than the architects projected. The Ohio Revised Code states public projects that exceed 10% of the architects estimated costs must go out for rebid," he said. Hall went on to explain that the architects projected the project to be 3.4 million and the lowest bid came in at 4.4 million. Library trustees met with Dan Engen and Adam Cummins of VEBH (Valentour, English, Bodnar, & Howell) Architects of Pittsburgh at Tuesday's October 24 meeting to review plans and make necessary cuts to lower costs. "One of the ways the library will be able to reduce costs is by independently contracting some of the jobs instead of contracting jobs through a general contractor," said Hall.
The library will advertise for the rebidding in November. Library trustees are scheduled to meet in December to review the rebids. The Main Library is scheduled to close on October 27. "The rebidding will not postpone the closing." said Hall. The project is moving forward. During the rebidding process, the library will begin the asbestos abatement job and perform other tasks needed before construction starts.
The Bookmobile will make weekly stops at the Main Library's parking lot on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. starting November 1.

One of many militias in the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire). In 2000, they were a maverick army fighting for the expulsion of Rwandan and Ugandan troops from the country. They're believed to number anything between 2000 and 20000. The current organisation succeeds a faction of the same name which fought against Mobutu Sese Seko as part of a rebel alliance including local and Rwandan Tutsis whom they never liked in the first place.
Mai-Mai forces are based in the north-eastern Kivu province and are known to have a large number of children as young as eight in their ranks. They employ traditional spears as well as more modern machine guns and believe that magic water makes them invulnerable to bullets. The name "Mai Mai" means "water" and some of them have been reported to wear shower caps and faucets in battle. If it weren't bloody reality, it could be a tale from Mad Max.
In January 1997, their erratic behaviour became such a liability that president Laurent Kabila ordered their disarming despite their being on his side but three years later they were again receiving government support. In March 2001, they were reported to be in training for peacekeeping operations under the terms of a ceasefire deal.
It's hard to separate the fact from the rumour here, especially regarding a maverick militia in a war where sides are often switched, the factions themselves are subject to change and the information that reaches the outside world is often contradictory.

text: From: Ben Creisler email@example.com News item from Edmonton Journal: http://www.canada.com/edmonton/edmontonjournal/news/story.h tml?id=3a1923ad-ad49-4d2a-b92f-7305bf2beae8 The Peace District is filling in a five-million-year gap in the dinosaur map and could yield new species Larry Johnsrude The Edmonton Journal Tuesday, August 03, 2004 GRANDE PRAIRIE - Phil Currie is unravelling a 70-million- year-old mystery buried in the sandy cliffs and rocky riverbeds in northwestern Alberta's Peace District. As a world-renowned dinosaur expert and curator of the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, he has examined hundreds of thousands of dinosaur fossils from around the world, from bone beds as rich and far away as China and Mongolia. Yet he becomes visibly excited as he sifts through the rocks and chunks of petrified bone lining the banks of the Red Willow River, a tributary of the Wapiti about an hour's drive southwest of Grande Prairie. "This is a totally different ecosystem from a different time period," he says, bubbling with boyish enthusiasm. "If we are going to find new and different species, this is the place." His work is aimed at filling in a five-million-year gap in Alberta's fossil record, a relatively unexplored time period sandwiched between newer dinosaur fossils found near Drumheller and older ones at Dinosaur Provincial Park near Brooks. It is a brilliant summer morning when he and his team of paleontologists arrive at a secluded section of the river accessible only over a rough, winding private road through a forest. This is prime fossil-hunting territory. With the river making a sharp twist through a canyon of steep cliffs, its rushing water erodes the soft riverbed and exposes fossilized bone and footprints trapped in the rock for centuries. The water is at least a metre lower than when he was there a week ago, revealing the perfectly preserved three-toed hadrosaur track indented in a slab of sandstone. The shoreline is littered with smaller chunks of track and bone, each a piece of the puzzle of what life was like when these giant lizards ruled this part of the Earth. To get an idea of how it all came about, Currie explains, you have to imagine what the area looked like 70 to 75 million years ago. Start by taking away all the trees, hills and rocks, and replace them with a mud flat stretching for as far as the eye can see. Then add an array of fierce meat-eating tyrannosaurs, lumbering vegetarian hadrosaurs and fleet-footed raptors playing out a drama for survival on the sandy delta, which led to an inland sea that stretched from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico during what is known as the Cretaceous period of Earth's history. As these enormous beasts died, some got washed down the rivers and tributaries. Becoming trapped in shallow stream beds, often piling up several deep, their bones were covered with sand and silt, absorbing minerals and turning into rock-like fossils. "The conditions have to be perfect for the creation of fossils," Currie says. "When you look at the abundance of fossils along these river beds, it gives you an idea of how many dinosaurs there must have been roaming this area at any given time." What makes these dinosaur fossils significant is they tell a primordial story different from anywhere else. As the inland sea shifted on its banks over the millennia, Alberta's prime dinosaur locations near Brooks and Drumheller were covered in water 70 to 75 million years ago, leaving the Grande Prairie fossils as the only prehistoric record from this time. It opens up the possibility these are from different species, a paleontologist's dream. A 73-million-year-old duck-billed hadrosaur excavated a year ago from a spot upstream on the Red Willow River, Currie believes, is from a species different from the duck- billed dinosaurs unearthed in southern Alberta. He is on the lookout for evidence that the northern velociraptors, a small bird-like raptor similar to those in the movie Jurassic Park, are also different from those in the south. "We have found a piece of skull that looks different enough to make us think it might be a new species," he says. "But we need more than one bone to draw any conclusions." What would be his dream find? He grins and points to a tyrannosaur femur bone sticking out of a pile of coal shale. "If the whole skeleton was there," he replies. That's hardly likely. His team was able to find only about half the hadrosaur dug up last year. Skeletons are seldom intact. Usually they're a collection of scattered bones, requiring the expertise of paleontologists to figure out how the pieces fit together. The hunt for dinosaur bones in the Grande Prairie area has its own challenges. The region may be as rich in bone beds as Drumheller and Dinosaur Provincial Park, but they're more difficult to reach. While the fossils of southern Alberta's badlands are out in the open, exposed by wind and rain, the Grande Prairie variety are buried in secluded spots along river beds. There are 14 identified fossil beds along the Wapiti and its tributaries, some discovered by local settlers as early as the 1920s. But shifting rivers, flooding and slumping banks have turned the job of keeping track of them into a game of hide and seek. Darren Tanke, a technician with the Royal Tyrrell Museum, discovered the hadrosaur skeleton dug up last year in 1989. But it disappeared under high water levels until the river dropped a few years ago. Despite the Indiana Jones-style romance associated with fossil hunting, paleontologists say it's painstaking work. Currie, 55, who has been fascinated by dinosaurs since getting a plastic one in a cereal box when he was six years old, spent three weeks this summer living in a camper trailer parked in a farmer's yard while exploring river beds. Tanke is spending most of the summer prospecting. On average, it takes about 40 days of walking to produce one new find. There is one advantage to the remote location of the Grande Prairie bone beds, says paleontologist Eva Koppelhus, Currie's wife and research partner. "It's far less likely that any of these fossils will show up for sale on EBay," she says. email@example.com © The Edmonton Journal 2004

Went to a Twitter meet up tonight. Nice bunch of folks, very outgoing, which I guess you'd expect from people who feel the need to blog on a minute by minute basis! I seem to have made about six new friends of Le Book Du Face out of it. Not to mention still more people to follow on twitter...
What else has been happening.
Yesterday, I was ducking out the back of my building to get a Chai (no surprise there) and a car pulling out from the carpark under my building almost collected me. I looked and realised it was being driven by one of my cow-orkers! I wonder if that comes under OH&S?
Ah.... More stuff goes on... But it's late.... Talk to you tomorrow LJ.

Outlander Rides
Based on the fabulous series of books by Diana Gabaldon which are set in the Highlands. These breaks offer a mixture of riding through the real Highland landscape in which the stories are set, and days spent out of the saddle, visiting the 'must see' places associated with the story that we simply can't get to on horseback! Even if you are not a fan, or have never read these fantastic books, this is still a great ride, visiting some iconic places with stunning scenery in great riding country!
We have a few different options for this ride as we realise that some riders may have already spent a few days in Edinburgh when arriving in the UK and some may have not, so we have an extra day and a half sightseeing including Doune castle (location of Castle Leoch in the Starz TV series) and sites in Edinburgh, as an add on offered in Option 2, which we believe will give you the best Outlander experience possible.
Image courtesy of Starz TV
Outlander Ride - Option 1
6 days total - 5 days riding, 6 nights accommodation, one days sight-seeing
This ride starts just outside Inverness and we will return you to Inverness at the end of the ride.
Leaving Inverness, we ride high above Loch Ness - looking out for Nessie as we go! Riding through Fraser lands on the south side of the loch we climb a high pass for stunning views over the loch, down towards Urquhart castle, then ride on passing below the pine clad crags where the Dunbonnet hid and Fergus lost a hand.
Riding on through Fraser lands with fantastic, far reaching views over the Great Glen, we descend to Fort Augustus, site of the old barracks at the head of Loch Ness.
We head back towards Inverness, for a day of sightseeing, including a visit to Urquhart Castle and Culloden Moor, where we join a tour of the battlefield and visit the clan stones. We also visit the fantastic new exhibition, which is full of interesting memorabilia with interactive characters and an immersion theatre where you can experience first hand what it was like to be in the middle of the action at Culloden. Then we visit the stone circle at Clava Cairns with it's cleft stone and time permitting, as many other interesting lesser known sites associated with the series of books as we can squeeze in, before heading back to Fort Augustus for the night.
Following an old miliatary road built by General Cauldfield, we head over the hills, before joining an old drove road into Glen Affric famous as being one of the most beautiful glens in Scotland. Stunning views over the hills towards Kintail as we ride over the pass.
We spend a day exploring Glen Affric and the trail we ride on was the old road west, linking the Mackenzie lands on the West and the Fraser lands on the East coasts. This road is shown on maps of the 1700's. In Diana's Outlandish Companion, this is the area where Lallybroch would be situated and we see a potential contender!
We ride on the Eskdale road, where Jamie surrendered himself to the redcoats, then past Erchless Castle, seat of the clan Chisholm over the hills on another ancient track part of the network of old drove roads, which takes us to the hills above Muir of Ord and Beauly where we finish the ridden part of our trip, spending the night at the victorian spa town of Strathpeffer - home of Castle Leod the seat of clan Mackenzie.
We spend one last night together, then we return you to Inverness in the morning where there are good onwards transportation links.
You need to be a confident rider, comfortable up to canter.
Price: GBP 1480
Outlander - Option 2 (Doune and Edinburgh add-on)
8 days total - 5 days riding, 7 nights accommodation and 3 days sightseeing
Everything as listed in the Outlander ride option 1 above, but also including visits to the Highland Folk Museum, Ruthven Barracks, Doune Castle. Extra nights accommodation, then final day spent in Edinburgh, with visits to the Castle, Holyrood Palace and the Worlds End and, time permitting, some other interesting locations relating to the tale.....
Image courtesy of Starz TV
This ride will start in Inverness and will finish in Edinburgh (but if you need to get back to Inverness we will be heading that way ourselves and can give you a lift!)
Price: GBP 1670
Prices based on sharing a twin or double room - single rooms may be available but cannot be guaranteed at an extra cost of 140 GBP for option 1 or 160 GBP for option 2 - however if you are travelling alone and willing to share a room, we often have other riders doing the same who are happy to keep costs down by sharing with another lone traveller of the same sex and wherever possible we try to match sharers by age etc too.Payment can be made by cheque, bank transfer or credit/debit card via PayPal below. Please contact us if you require our bank details for transfer. Please email or phone us to check availability on the ride before paying deposits.

The best way to fill up your wardrobe with things you've only worn once or twice and probably won't wear again (aka useless things) is to chase after fashion trends. It's exhausting. Both mentally and financially..
So here is a reminder: You don't have to hop on every single trend on the runways. Sometimes you need to bow yourself out, especially if you don't feel comfortable in something or if you simply don't care for the trend. You should curate your wardrobe with clothes that you love without prioritising how trendy they are. That way, when the powerful tide of fashion comes knocking on your door, you remain anchored to your personal style.
Fashion is a fun sport that we all love to play. But don't be afraid to be the benchwarmer sometimes!

For a month this summer our group of five travelled the country to document the stories of New Zealanders dealing with destruction of our rivers and lakes and urge the government to prioritise the health of all New Zealanders by raising the minimum standard for waterways to swimmable.
The Choose Clean Water tour was a moving, distressing and motivating experience for us as young Kiwis.
We were shocked by the extent of our freshwater issues and at how desperate New Zealanders feel in the face of them.
No region is unaffected by serious pollution of rivers lakes and precious groundwater.
We could have spent a year on the road and still not have visited all the places where the loss of clean safe freshwater is impacting people's lives.
Kiwis are being forced to watch as the places they love – their lakes rivers streams estuaries are destroyed in front of their eyes.
These are the places their families have spent summers for generations where they have caught and collected food for hundreds of years.
Almost everyone we talked with us that when they speak up about it – when they ask that the water not be polluted (in many cases their drinking water as well as water they swim in) – they are told their views are extreme or are simply ignored by the local, regional and central government.
Ordinary Kiwis everywhere saying 'Please don't pollute our water' are not heard.
In some cases they have been saying this for a decade.
We saw authorities claim there is no problem.

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
It's hard to find a definitive definition of what CRM means. So I'll outline the broad meaning and then give some examples.
You may have heard of the terms CRM and Customer Relationship Management in regards to software. Well CRM is not just a piece of software. It's more than that.
The CRM Customer Relationship Management software is a vital component, yet the whole business needs to understand CRM Customer Relationship Management in all departments and functions of the business and behave appropriately to make CRM Customer Relationship Management work.
An effective CRM Customer Relationship Management will include methodologies, strategies, software, and web-based capabilities that help an enterprise organize and manage customer relationships.
Why use CRM Customer Relationship Management?
CRM Customer Relationship Management is used to help businesses (a.) understand their customer, and (b.) understand their customers' wants and needs and (c.) help the business serve them more efficiently and effectively
In turn this will help the business to improve customer satisfaction, increase staff productivity, slash operational costs and maximize the effectiveness of each customer interaction.
Let's talk about these three different areas.
CRM Customer Relationship Management to Understand The Customer
In a CRM Customer Relationship Management application and approach a user will collect as much information about a customer that they can. They'll collect names, addresses, contact numbers, age, sex, number of children etc. A CRM Customer Relationship Management process does this to, amongst other things; help 'classify' their customers.
A benefit of a CRM Customer Relationship Management system is that a user can help analyse which types of customers are best for their business.
Then once they know what customer 'types' are best they can then market to them in a 'personal' way – using the information gained about them.
CRM Customer Relationship Management to Understand The Customers Wants and Needs
As information is collected about the customers' personal life, information is also collected about their buying habits and stored in CRM Customer Relationship Management software.
Humans are creatures of habit. By analysing the information collected about the customer and their buying habits the CRM Customer Relationship Management can be used to help the business identify what the customers would most likely want or need to buy.
For example, if your CRM Customer Relationship Management information lets you know that your best customers typically like buying 'red apples' in November for an average sale price of $15. You can prepare a marketing approach that is sent out to them prior to November that will steer them towards buying $30 worth of apples.
The customer sees it as useful because it's something they like to do at that time of year, and you're offering them a reminder and perhaps an incentive to buy more. The business benefits by structuring the offer to increase the sales value and therefore increasing the profit return.
CRM Customer Relationship Management is Useful to Also Target New Customers
Information gathered in the CRM Customer Relationship Management will help the business to target more of the preferred customers. An analysis using CRM Customer Relationship Management software could tell the business, for example, that single males between 30 to 35 years of age that earn between $50,000 and $60,000 are the best type of customer for the business.
Knowing that information from the CRM Customer Relationship Management, the business can then hire a list from a direct mail list broker of all the single men that fit the description and target their marketing towards them.
The CRM Customer Relationship Management activity of improving the relationship with the customer is to help keep the customer more loyal to the company and thus improve the profitability of the business.
CRM Customer Relationship Management to Help Efficiency and Effectiveness of Business
A good CRM Customer Relationship Management application will help the business to become more efficient and effective.
The business can become more efficient because if a customer contacts the business, within seconds the customer service representative can produce the customers file. This will tell the employee all about the customer and their interaction with the business.
So a CRM Customer Relationship Management saves time for the business and is able to help the employees deliver high levels of personalised service.

How to do a compliance check: data-gathering powers: data-holder notice
The notice must contain reference to the relevant legislation; that is, Paragraph 1 Schedule 23 to the Finance Act 2011 and The Data-gathering Powers (Relevant Data) Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/847). Schedule 23 defines the data-holder while the regulations define the relevant data.
The notice must specify
- why you are sending the notice to them (as a data-holder), including the relevant paragraph of Schedule 23 which defines the data-holder, see example below
- what data is required, citing the relevant paragraph of the regulations
- how the information should be supplied to HMRC
- where it should be sent, and
- by what date.
Example of a notice to a company
Paragraph 1 of Schedule 23 to the Finance Act 2011 allows an officer of HM Revenue and Customs, by notice in writing, to require a relevant data-holder to provide relevant data. For the purposes of paragraph 1, Schedule 23 to the Finance Act 2011:
- you are a 'relevant data-holder' as defined by paragraph (see CH28030 for paragraph number) of Schedule 23 to the Finance Act 2011, and
- the data described in the schedule below is 'relevant data' as defined by paragraph (see CH28030 for paragraph number) of Schedule 23 to the Finance Act 2011 and regulation 3 of the Data-Gathering Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/847).
'Therefore take notice that under the above provisions I hereby require you by (insert date) to make and deliver to me a return of all data of the kind(s) specified in the schedule below for the period shown in the schedule. You must deliver this at the above address using the means described in the schedule attached. If the company feels it cannot do what this notice asks, or the company cannot respond within the timescale it sets out, please contact me as soon as possible on the above number'
What will happen if you do not do what this notice asks?
If the company does not do what this notice asks, the company may have to pay a penalty of £300. If the company still has not done what this notice asks by the time I have issued this penalty, the company may have to pay a further daily penalty of up to £60 a day until it does.
There is a similar penalty if the company conceals, destroys or otherwise disposes of any document I have asked for, or arranges for it to be concealed, destroyed or disposed of.
Please take care when doing what this notice asks. If the company carelessly or deliberately provides inaccurate information or provides a document containing an inaccuracy, we may charge the company a penalty of up to £3,000 for each inaccuracy. We may not charge the company a penalty if it tells us about the inaccuracy at the time it provides the information or produces the document. If the company later finds an inaccuracy, it must tell me about it without delay.
Appealing against this notice
The company has the right to appeal to an independent tribunal. You can find further information about this in factsheet HMRC1 HM Revenue & Customs decisions - what to do if you disagree. You can get this factsheet by downloading it from our website at or phoning our Revenue and Customs Orderline on 0300 200 3610.
Data for the period (insert date) to (insert date) inclusive.
In respect of the data you hold, I require you to give the following particulars in response to this notice.
(Insert details of data required)
Please could I ask you to complete one of the following statements in respect of your response.
|Declaration A
To the best of my belief the data as required by this notice is complete and correct.

Important Note: The classes Grid and RectGrid have been renamed to GFGrid and GFRectGrid, you will need to change your source code accordingly.
You might be wondering why I would do such a thing more than one month after releasing the package. Using regular English words is simple and intuitive; however, the danger of name collision with another class called the same is quite large. Let's say a user has already a class called Grid for something in his or her project. When they buy Grid Frmework all of the sudden they will get compilation errors because now there are two classes called Grid. It would be unreasonable to expect users to change their class, especially if that class is already part of a more complex chain of dependencies or inheritance. They could change my code, but then they would have to change it after each single update of Grid Framework. If the class Grid is already defined in some other third party extension it gets even worse.
Adding the GF in front of both classes reduces the chance of name collision. I apologize to all my existing customers for having to change their source code because I didn't think about this in time, but I had to resolve this before it becomes an issue and the sooner I get it sorted out the less customers will have to change their source code. I am very sorry, but this should fix the problem once and for all.
Aside from that the GFRectGrid class contains some minor code cleanup and performance boosts, so it's not all bad news.

I'm very disturbed and upset over the recent zoning hearing, which can only mean disaster for Washington County.
The Washington County Zoning Appeals Board has made a tragic decision by allowing the following:
First a little insight as to the reason for the zoning appeal by 2003 Mason Dixon LLC. There is a piece of land, 17939 Mason Dixon Road - presently beautiful farmland of approximately 172 acres that is zoned Agriculture and it is outside the Urban Growth Area.
A local businessman, Mr. Fulton - being represented as 2003 Mason Dixon LLC, was attempting to get a "special exception" on the zoned agriculture land to allow the following:
Establish a truck distribution center with the capability to allow future associated uses including truck terminals, warehousing, private fueling facility, parking, maintenance and other truck-related uses.

The Jewish Genealogy Society of Long Island will meet on Sunday, March 25, from 2-4 p.m. at the Mid-island Y-JCC in Plainview.
This month's topic will be "Galician Globetrotters, Barber Surgeons and Persistent Women" presented by Dr. Andrew Zelewski.
From the 16th century, Galician Jews ventured to Italy to receive university medical educations. After university admissions were opened to Jews in the Habsburg realm, they attended schools in Lemberg (Lwow), Kraków, Vienna and Pest, developing literary talents, professional skills, and new world views. This talk will challenge stereotypes, probe internal debates in the Jewish community, and reveal cultural trailblazers and rebels. It will also demonstrate the value to genealogists of academic records.
Andrew Zalewski is a member of the board of Gesher Galicia and edits its journal, The Galitzianer. He is the author of two books — "Galician Trails: The Story of One Family" and "Galician Portraits: In Search of Jewish Roots".

Good afternoon, I hope you are looking forward to the release of the Christmas Box Dies on Ideal World this evening at 9pm.
Today I have decided to share some of the 'variations' I made with these versatile dies.
Triangular Box Using Squeeze Box Die Set
Cut one whole squeeze box and glue on another half. Cut a triangle for the base and thread ribbon through the holes at the top to close.
Open Top Gift Box/Vase with Squeeze Box Die Set
This just uses four complete Squeeze Box die cuts which have been folded along the triangular lines only. The first two are glued together with the rounded tops forming the base and the actual base pieces cut off. The second pair have the base pieces glued inside the box to add the next layer on. I added one of the Layering Squares to neaten the base inside and out before decorating with the infill dies.
Basket using the Bottle Box Set
I trimmed the Bottle Box sections down before adding the base. The top triangular sections were curled over and stuck in place with a tiny punched snowflake added. I made the handle out of a strip of card die cut with the border pattern die out of the Celtic Dream Collectables Die Set.
Merry Christmas Toblerone Box
I used one whole Bottle Box section plus half of another Bottle Box section, making three sides. I cut my decorative dies into the box, backed it for strength and cut another layer to add to the front (red) before gluing the box together and tying the top with ribbon.
I hope that my samples have given you some inspiration and that you will join Jodie for even more on Ideal World this evening at 9pm and 11pm and throughout tomorrow on both Ideal World and Create and Craft.

According to a local St. Louis woman who is living in Puerto Rico, people have been waiting in line for 16 hours to get gas, grocery stores are running low on food, and banks will only let people withdraw $60. Lines there are miles long.
Dr. Madelyn Stazzone's lived in Chesterfield, but her parents were from Puerto Rico and a lot of her extended family still lives on the island. She said people are getting frantic. Many of them have not had access to food or water for days.
Stazzone said there are dead animals throughout the streets and one cemetery has turned into a swamp.
"There are about 500 remains that are floating in the water. My baby sister is buried there, my parents are buried there, my aunts and uncles are buried there, and we have not heard from most of our family at this point," she said.
There are crates of water at the island, but the local government is having a problem getting them distributed.
President Donald Trump is expected to visit Puerto Rico on Tuesday.

He has a giant task ahead of him with shares in Zynga sliding 71% since the company went public back in 2011.
Mattrick said in a statement "We are taking layers out of the executive rank to get senior leaders closer to important product initiatives."

Islamic State militants have accepted a pledge of allegiance from the Nigerian-grown Boko Haram extremist group, according to a spokesman for the IS movement.
The move came yesterday as both groups are under increasing military pressure and have sustained setbacks on the battlefield.
Islamic State seized much of northern and western Iraq last summer, gaining control of about a third of both Iraq and Syria. But it is now struggling against Iraqi forces seeking to recapture Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit, while coming under fire from coalition air strikes in other parts of the country and in Syria.
Boko Haram, meanwhile, has been weakened by a multinational force that has dislodged it from a score of northeastern Nigerian towns. But its new Twitter account, increasingly slick and more frequent video messages, and a new media arm all were considered signs that the group is now being helped by IS propagandists.
Last week, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau posted an audio recording online that pledged allegiance to IS.
"We announce our allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims … and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity, in hardship and ease, and to endure being discriminated against, and not to dispute about rule with those in power, except in case of evident infidelity regarding that which there is a proof from Allah," Boko Haram's message said.
Yesterday the Islamic State group's media arm Al-Furqan said that Boko Haram's pledge of allegiance has been accepted, claiming the caliphate has now expanded to West Africa and that "no-one can stand in its path."
Al-Adnani had urged foreign fighters from around the world to migrate and join Boko Haram. He also sent a message to Christians and other non-Muslims in IS lands to convert to Islam or pay a special tax – something the extremists have already put into practice in IS-held territory in Iraq and Syria.
"If you insist on being arrogant and stubborn … soon you will bite your fingers off in regret," he added.
J Peter Pham, director of the Africa Centre at the Atlantic Council, a think tank in Washington, said the IS group's quick acceptance of Boko Haram's allegiance highlights a new risk. "Militants finding it increasingly harder to get to Syria and Iraq may choose instead to go to northeastern Nigeria and internationalize that conflict," Pham wrote in an e-mail.
In the past – as was the case with IS affiliates in Egypt, Yemen and Libya – it took weeks for the Islamic State to respond to a pledge of allegiance. "The prompt – one might even say `fast-tracked' – acceptance by the so-called Islamic State of Boko Haram's pledge of allegiance" underscores that both needed the propaganda boost from the affiliation, Pham said.

Discussion About Prescription Drug Coverage Grows With Awareness of Opioids, Contraceptives, Spiking Prices
In the past year, legislators, employers, the media and healthcare consumers have focused on a variety of topics related to prescription drug coverage and use. The opioid epidemic sweeping the country, changes in access to contraceptives and the rising prices of prescription drugs have all contributed to a renewed interest in how insurance plans cover prescription drugs and how health care consumers use them.

The reasons given by field interviewers for coding a sampled unit as inaccessible during the survey were also identified and classified. The research was conducted in all 48 surveyed states, and included 6 FCRS questionnaire versions. Upon receiving a refusal, interviewers were instructed to record the reason given for refusing on the face page of the questionnaire. If no reason was given, or in cases where more than one reason was given, the interviewers were instructed to discuss the concerns of the respondent in regards to completing an interview, and to identify the main reason for refusing. When a sampled unit was coded as inaccessible, interviewers were instructed to explain the reason. During the manual edit of the questionnaires, the reasons for refusal or being coded as inaccessible were reviewed and compared to a coded list of reasons for nonresponse compiled from previous research into this topic on the FCRS. statisticians could consider the comments from the interviewers as a match to a pre-coded response, or add additional codes for unique comments. The nonresponse rate on FCRS averages 30% per year. The reasons behind the nonresponse have been a source of speculation for many years, and previously only anecdotal evidence was available on which to base efforts to maximize response. This research shows the anecdotal evidence to have been sometimes on and other times off the mark. 000234383 542__ $$fLicense granted by Mallory Pagel (firstname.lastname@example.com) on 2016-04-15T21:01:21Z (GMT): <p class="ds-paragraph"> By depositing this Content ("Content") in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another's permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.

The inauguration was completed successfully and without a lot of market volatility.
Weekly Statistics
Friday Statistics
Friday's volume was unexpectedly high at 6.6 billion shares. While that is not high on a normal basis, it was the second highest day of the week. Traders did not participate while the inauguration was ongoing but there was a big spike at the open and another uptick at the close. The market fell to its lows, giving back more than half its opening gains as President Trump spoke but when it did not collapse completely the dip buyers began to appear. Advancers were nearly 2:1 over decliners and the volatility index declined -10% to close just over 11.
In theory, this should be the all clear signal politically. However, the president has said he could sign as many as 200 executive orders on Monday. Late Friday before going to the festivities, he went to the oval office where he signed multiple executive orders including one to reduce the effectiveness of Obamacare by limiting any financial penalties, unwarranted financial and regulatory burdens. The order tells agencies to waive, defer or delay any Obamacare provisions that impose fiscal penalties or involve extra ordinary measures. The administration also implemented an order that halts all new regulations without specific administration approval. This can impact new regulations recently announced but not fully implemented.
The markets have had a dozen chances to move lower over the last several weeks and all the dips were bought. With the event risk over, investors should be able to concentrate on earnings and economics. The last hurdle will be any backlash on Monday from the barrage of executive orders. They should not discourage investors but there is always the potential for that bump in the road. I expect the deluge of earnings news to overshadow any remaining political headlines.
I showed a graphic last week where the S&P averaged a -2.6% decline in the 30 days after a change in presidents. That risk still exists but the pro-growth policies of lower tax rates and reduced regulation should negate that risk somewhat. However, Sam Stoval, a long time S&P tracker, reminded us that since 1953 the S&P is normally 1.6% higher after the first 100 days in office. That suggests we should buy any dip.
There were no economic reports of note on Friday.
The calendar for next week is highlighted by regional Fed manufacturing reports from Dallas, Richmond, Chicago and Kansas City. The big report for the week will be the first look at the Q4 GDP on Friday. The initial Q4 forecast is 2.1% growth compared to the unsustainable 3.5% number from Q3. The Atlanta Fed GDPNow forecast is 2.8%.
There was almost zero stock news on Friday. The news headlines were totally dominated by the inauguration details. One stock probably wished they were invisible after a major hit. Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) said it would not seek accelerated approval for its lung cancer treatment using Opdivo and Yervoy. The company said the decision was made based on a review of the data available at this time. That suggests the data was not favorable and may not have withstood FDA scrutiny. Shares fell -11% on the news.
GE reported earnings of 46 cents that matched analyst estimates. Revenue declined slightly to $33.09 billion and missed estimates for $34.15 billion. Revenue in their oil and gas business declined -22% and the energy and lighting division saw a 29% decline in revenue. The transportation segment saw a 23% decline. The company said for the full year they returned $30.5 billion to shareholders with $22 billion though share buybacks.
Since GE shed its financial businesses, analysts are expecting better earnings. For GE, just matching estimates is almost an earnings miss. They signed deals in 2016 for $40 billion in asset sales. They have shed $197 billion in restructuring deals since 2015. Having restructured into a pure play industrial company analysts are expecting better results. In October, they signed a deal with Baker Hughes (BHI) to merger their oil and gas business with BHI and create the second largest energy services business. This will further insulate the GE industrial business from the wide swings in the energy sector. This was a handicap for GE earnings over the last couple years. Shares fell -2% on the earnings.
Qualcomm (QCOM) is not having a good year. On January 17th, the FTC sued the company for anti-competitive practices saying QCOM forced Apple to use its products exclusively in exchange for lower fees. On Friday, Apple said it was suing Qualcomm for $1 billion for improperly charged royalty fees. Apple said, "Qualcomm built its business on older, legacy standards but reinforces its dominance through exclusionary tactics and excessive royalties." A month ago, South Korea levied an $850 million fine against Qualcomm for monopolistic practices. Apple said Qualcomm withheld $1 billion in fee rebates because Apple helped South Korea investigate Qualcomm's business practices. A year ago, China fined the company $1 billion for basically the same reason. A billion here and a billion there and pretty soon that adds up to a lot of money. Shares fell -2.4% on the news.
Apple (AAPL) shares were flat for the week with resistance at $120 still holding the stock down. That is a 14-month high and the stock cannot seem to break through. Earnings are January 31st. The company is meeting with the government of India on January 22nd to negotiate terms for setting up manufacturing units in that country. Apple is asking for a 15-year tax holiday on the importation of equipment and components into the country. This would help India because it provides thousands of jobs and further improves the "Made in India" manufacturing effort. India is also the world's fastest growing cellular market. If the government does a deal with Apple, the phones would be cheaper for their citizens and further accelerate the trend. Samsung currently has a 23% market share in India because of their lower price points. India charges a hefty tax on imports and that raises the current iPhone price.
Dow Component Procter & Gamble (PG) reported earnings of $1.08 compared to the $1.06 analysts expected. Revenue of $16.86 billion narrowly beat estimates for $16.8 billion. Foreign currency exchange knocked 2% off of revenue. The company guided for a 2% to 3% increase in revenue for 2017 but the strong dollar is expected to reduce sales by 2% to 3% so actual revenue will be flat. They guided to full year earnings of $3.67 per share. Shares rallied $2.75 to add 18 points to the Dow.
Schlumberger (SLB) reported earnings of 27 cents that matched analyst estimates. That was a 58.5% decline. Revenue fell -8.7% to $7.07 billion and missed estimates for $7.11 billion. The company said there was strong activity in the Middle East and North America but Latin America and Europe were weak. The company said drilling activity in North America should increase 30% in 2017 led by the Permian Basin. Shares declined only fractionally.
Moody's downgraded Sears (SHLD) credit rating from Caa1 to Caa2. Moody's said Sears is running out of stuff it can sell for cash. They only have 211 properties that are unencumbered and worth about $2.5 billion. With the company burning cash at the rate of $1.5 billion a year they are rapidly approaching the end of the line. Moody's said they could raise cash with the sale of the Kenmore and Diehard brands but after that, they are done. There is nothing left to sell that will produce a large inflow of cash. Shares were positive despite the downgrade.
With 12% of the S&P-500 already reported, the blended earnings growth is now 3.4% for Q4. Over 61% have beaten on earnings but only 47% have beaten estimates for revenue. The earnings beat percentage is below the 5-year average of 67%. The average earnings beat is 4.2% while the average revenue decline is -0.4% below estimates. Next week 70 S&P companies will report earnings including 12 Dow components.
The Dow components are in pink. Nearly 25% of the market cap of the Nasdaq reports earnings on Thursday with BIIB, GOOGL, INTC and MSFT.
The OPEC monitoring committee meets this weekend to work out a means to measure compliance with the promised production cuts. The odds of actually getting the 1.758 million bpd of production cuts are nearly zero. That is 1.2 mbpd for OPEC and 558,000 bpd for non-OPEC producers. Just because they have to meet to come up with a compliance procedure should tell you the odds are pretty slim. Several OPEC members have said 50% to 60% would be good and 70% to 80% compliance would be outstanding. When OPEC members think 60% would be good, that tells you they are expecting a lot of cheating.
The IEA said OPEC's historical compliance with prior production cuts has averaged around 60%.
The key here is that the production cuts are voluntary and there is no penalty for failing to follow through with their promised cuts. There have been some suggestions that the monitoring committee will "name and shame" any country that does not comply. Good luck with that.
On Saturday, OPEC and Russia said they were ahead of schedule implementing the cuts. Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Kuwait have already made deeper cuts than required, while Russia claims they have already cut by 100,000 bpd. The Saudi Oil Minister Khalid Al-Falih said producers have already removed 1.5 million bpd from the market. If this is true and that is a capita IF, it would be a major change in OPEC compliance. However, since those three countries have reportedly cut more than they pledged, it suggests other countries are lagging.
Prices have been declining as the headlines questioned whether the actual cuts would be sufficient to reduce existing inventories.
The prior week there was a decline of six active rigs. I speculated at the time there was probably a lag in getting workers back from holiday breaks and there had been some very severe winter weather the prior week that could have impact rig relocations. This week the active rigs rose by a whopping +35 rigs to 694. That was an addition of 29 oil rigs and 6 gas rigs. Apparently, whatever problem was preventing those rigs from restarting, has been solved. With this pace of rig additions, we could see a significant rebound in oil production six-months from now.
The S&P has gone 69 days without a 1% decline. That is the longest streak since 2006 when the index went 94 days without a significant drop. The difference is that other than the five-weeks after the election, the S&P has gone sideways almost the entire time. October 11th was the last drop of more than 1%. I am pretty sure everyone would much rather have the chart pattern from 2006 than the current chart. That 2006 rally was a once a decade type of event.
The number of analysts expecting a market decline soon, continues to grow. Jeff Saut, an excellent analyst from Raymond James, said the models continue to point to a post inauguration decline of several percent and it would be a "big surprise" if a rally appeared instead.
Jeff, I would not put a very big bet on that decline. While it can still happen, the market has had many chances to fall hard in December/January and each time the dip buyers were ready and waiting. Some $14 billion in new money has flowed into the SPY ETF and another $6 billion into the financial XLF ETF. Investors are betting on a continued gain. Obviously, they can be just as wrong as you or me but they have the big bucks.
I am very surprised we did not have an early January decline. I positioned for it and it never came. At the same time, there was no rally either, except for the big cap techs. With the Dow and Russell 2000 closing at five-week lows on Thursday, it looked like a decline was imminent. Now, I believe those chances are slipping away. We will have an eventual drop but it will be on the market's schedule not ours.
Of course, as soon as I begin to turn short term bullish it will be the kiss of death for the market. I am going to maintain my downside hedges for another few days but I am going to start adding some long positions.
The S&P has to break over 2,280 in order to trigger a new round of short covering and price chasing. Of course, the Dow needs to break through 20,000 but the S&P is the one to watch next week. An S&P breakout will lead to a Dow breakout.
The S&P stalled at 2,277 on Friday and that was at the open. The initial spike was quickly sold so there were still some ready sellers at that level. After the intraday dip and the closing bounce, the S&P closed at 2,271 and about 10 points below the level that could trigger a new leg higher. We are less than half a percent from a new high. A move over 2,300 could be explosive.
Note that the S&P candles are still clustered near the top of the recent range. That suggests a breakout could be imminent.
The Dow got a big lift from IBM and PG on Friday. IBM added 25 Dow points and PG added 18. With 12 Dow components reporting next week we could see some increased volatility. Those are MCD, DD, JNJ, MMM, TRV, VZ, BA, UTX, CAT, MSFT, INTC and CVX. Tuesday is a big day with 3M and Travelers. They could be market movers. Verizon, JNJ and DD are the same day but should not be big movers.
The Dow closed at a five-week low on Thursday and then rebounded back over prior support at 19,800 on Friday but only by 27 points. The Dow chart pattern is still negative until it pushes though 20,000.
The Nasdaq was held back on Friday by the biotech sector once again. The sector was hit by the drop in BMY shares and by continued worries the president could comment again on high drug prices at any time.
The Nasdaq is only 19 points below its closing high and a gain like that could happen at any time. The Nasdaq and S&P are the most bullish indexes. Without the inauguration event risk we could see a decent move next week.
With GOOGL, INTC, MSFT and BIIB all reporting earnings on Thursday that could make next Friday's open another volatility event.
The small cap Russell 2000 is the weakest index with the Dow a close second. The Russell closed at a five-week low on Thursday and rebounded only slightly on Friday. The Russell failed to close back above support at 1,355. The Russell and the Dow are the market sentiment indicators and they are on opposite ends of the market spectrum. To have them both be negative while the S&P and Nasdaq are positive, presents a market mystery for analysts. However, the stocks in each index were the biggest gainers in November and therefore have the most profit at risk that needs to be consolidated. The Nasdaq stocks had a big decline in late December to force traders to exit and provide a new entry point for others. The Dow and Russell have not seen that sharp decline.
If the Russell closes at a new low next week, that would be a signal of trouble ahead. The chart is short-term negative so watch it closely.
When President Trump was inaugurated, everyone on the floor of the NYSE cheered and applauded. That should be a clue to how traders/investors view the market and economy in the coming months. Lower taxes could mean an increase in S&P earnings of 10% or more. The current PE for the S&P is 17 with earnings estimates at about $133.50. If earnings rose 10% and the PE stayed the same, that would be 2,500 on the S&P. Some analysts believe earnings could rise 16% in 2017 on a combination of organic growth and a lower tax rate. That would be somewhere in the 2,635 range if the PE did not change.
Obviously, those earnings are not going to happen overnight because the legislative process is messy. The republicans may have a 2 vote majority in the senate but in reality it is a fragile coalition that could self destruct at any time on any topic. Nothing should be taken for granted just because of those 2 votes.
We do not know how the governing process is going to work with President Trump. For someone who is used to getting his way and dominating everything he touches, it may be a real challenge to play nice with lawmakers. While everyone wants to think we are just going to follow the yellow brick road to market profits because a new sheriff is in town, that may not be the case. We are going to need to see a few weeks of actual governing before we can breathe easier.
Regardless of what happens with the new administration, the market will adjust. As long as earnings are increasing and the economy is not tanking, the market should move higher. The markets have lived through 44 previous administrations and are less than 1% from historic highs. They will adjust but there could be some volatility if the governing process turns into a perpetual Twitter storm.
Random Thoughts
There was a major change in sentiment last week with the bulls running for cover. This survey ended on Wednesday so the Friday event risk was causing a minor panic. We saw this reflected in the market with the Dow and Russell 2000 closing at a 5-week low on Thursday.
Last week results
ISIS was calling Inauguration Day, "Bloody Friday" and calling on followers to attack in any way possible. They failed. The lack of an attack shows that ISIS is limited in what they can actually do even if they are willing to die in the effort.
The security around the inauguration was so tight that protestors could not even get close, much less ISIS followers.
This does not mean we should let our guard down for even one second but it also means we should not live our lives in fear. While ISIS and Al-Qaeda are spreading into other countries, they are no longer capable of carrying out another 9/11 style attack. We are entering a new phase of the terror cycle and President Trump is likely to take the battle them very quickly.

Are you suffering from a back pain? Are you too stressed about your work? Are you trying to maintain a lean physique, but cannot afford the time to go to the gym because of your busy schedule? Or maybe your joints are behaving weird lately because of the high impact workout you performed yesterday. Well, if you are suffering from any of these discomforts, then inversion therapy can come to your rescue. Inversion therapy can help you to say goodbye to all kinds of back, neck, joints and muscle pains, simply by hanging upside down for a good 30 minutes a day.
What is Inversion Therapy?
Inversion therapy has been used cross-culturally for centuries throughout the world because of the numerous benefits it brings along. It has been used for many centuries now, dating back to as far as 400 BC. Hanging upside-down for 30 minutes a day, inversion therapy uses the force of gravity to decompress the spinal column, which can help you to relieve pain in different parts of your body. Today, inversion therapy has been made extremely easy for people to use. With a top quality inversion table, you can easily obtain the health benefits that come from reversing the gravitational pull on the body's organs, joints and bones.
Pros of Inversion Therapy
Other than relieving back ailments, inversion therapy has a lot more to offer:
- Relieves neck pain
- Increases trunk flexion
- Relieves stress
- Promotes circulation and stretches muscles
- Promotes lymphatic drainage by flushing the waste from the lymphatic system
- Helps you to maintain your height by stretching your spines
- Lowers depression and improves your mood
How to Use an Inversion Table
To get the best benefits from the inversion therapy, a top quality inversion table is a must. Using an inversion table is a step-by-step process and should be done on a regular basis to get used to the therapy. The following are some guidelines that can help you to get started:
- Place your inversion table in a spacious room in your home
- With the knob, adjust the table according to your height and make sure to tighten it securely after adjustment
- Ensure that a safety strap is connected to prevent the table from inverting all the way
- To begin with, it's best to start with a shallow inversion at 10-15 degrees for few minutes
- Step into the inversion table, flushing your back with the table
- Secure your feet snugly against your shoes and ankles with the table
- Raise your hands above your head and move back into your chosen angle
- Stay in that position for a few minutes to get yourself adjusted with the therapy
- Repeat the process 2 to 3 times a day, increasing your angle every time you
Bottom Line
Inversion therapies are a great way of relieving back and joint pains. You will be amazed by the effects inversion therapy has on your health, once you start using it. Meanwhile, people suffering from high blood pressure, glaucoma or heart diseases should stay away from inversion therapy, as it can pose risk to their health. So before purchasing your inversion table, make sure you consult with your doctor or physician to stay out of risk.
