US downgrade, European worries may slam stocks
The Dow is looking at opening down more than 230 points. Gold tops $1,700 an ounce. Asian stocks slump. The European Central Bank will support Italian and Spanish bonds.
Updated: 7:30 a.m. ETMonday
Here's what the futures markets are saying about Standard & Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt and Europe's debt problems: Better take cover.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) are looking at opening down some 230 points or 2.7%. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX)? Down some 2.8%. The Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX.X) may drop some 2.6%.
Gold (-GC) for December delivery was trading $57 higher, or 3.5%, to $1,709 an ounce. It was the first time gold had traded above $1,700 an ounce.
"We are in uncharted territory and, therefore, should all brace for volatility over a number of days if not weeks," Mohamed El-Erian, CEO and co-chief investment officer of the bond mutual fund company Pimco, told The Associated Press.
Meanwhile, the G-7 nations -- the most developed industrial countries -- pledged to in a statement to "take all necessary measures to support financial stability and growth."
Article continues below.
If you're a consumer, you could take a little cheer from crude oil (-CL). It was down more than $2.67, or 3.1%, to $84.21 a barrel at 9:20 p.m. ET. That means retail pump prices will be heading lower.
The declines are a reflection of the worry about the S&P downgrade -- and warnings of more ratings cuts. And they reflect worry that Europe's debt problems are spinning out of control. Speculators are able to push bonds of Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Ireland lower at well.
Plus -- and this is more important -- they reflect growing fears that the domestic economy may be sliding back into recession. Reports over the last 10 days have painted a broad picture of a increasing weakness.
Friday's jobs report did little to help matters. The national unemployment fell to 9.1% in July from 9.2% in June. Nonfarm payrolls grew by 117,000, but that's not enough to bring the unemployment rate meaningfully down.
Markets tumbled badly last week, with the Dow off 5.8%, the S&P 500 off 7.2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index down 8.1%.
The weak markets are also a reaction to the European Central Bank's decision late Sunday to buy Spanish and Italian bonds. In fact, this may be a far bigger story than Standard & Poor's decision. The move is part of an increasingly forceful campaign by policymakers around the world to prevent deteriorating public finances and slower growth from provoking another financial crisis
European stocks may get pummeled as well, with German, British and French stocks looking at opening down 1.7% or more.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Index ($JP:N225) was off more than 2% in late trading. Australian shares were off 2.6%. China's Shanghai Composite Index was off 3.5%.
A game-changing move in Europe
Some analysts said that Italy, which is fast losing investor confidence, posed a threat to the financial system too great for any one economic superpower to cope with alone, The New York Times said late Sunday. That meant a coordinated effort is needed.
"They just can't allow the Italian economy to go down the tubes," Uri Dadush, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told The Times. That would produce a market reaction as bad as the 2008 collapse of investment house Lehman Brothers. The Lehman Brothers failure turned a nasty market correction into one of the worst market routs ever.
The ECB intervention to prop up Italy and Spain in the face of repeated market assaults on debt issued by both governments is a watershed in Europe's handling of the financial crisis, The Wall Street Journal noted Sunday. The bank had been insisting that the main responsibility for action lies with national governments.
A decision to buy Italian and Spanish bonds basically concedes that the euro's member states are unable or unwilling to respond effectively. That means the ECB is the lead firefighter -- and the eurozone's lender of last resort. That could reshape the future of Europe's monetary union.
Is a rally getting ready to erupt?
The market turmoil may actually help produce a big rally this week.
"If history is any indication, investors are going to make far too much of the U.S. downgrade. And, with any luck, that will result in a huge decline in the early part of the session Monday," Canadian hedge-fund manager Terry Bedford wrote clients late Sunday. "Buy that decline. Don't think about it, buy it."
Market technician Tom McClellan of the McClellan Market Report also sees a short rebound this week because copper prices are holding firm.
A weak market after a crummy week
Only two of the 30 Dow stocks finished with gains last week. There were no winners for the week among Nasdaq-100 stocks. Nor were there any winners among stocks in the Dow Jones Transportation Average ($DJT), the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ($SOX) or the Philadelphia Banking Index ($BKX).
Only one stock among the 40 in the Standard Poor's Retail Index ($RLX) had a gain: RadioShack (RSH), up 0.5%.
Last week's 7.2% decline in the S&P 500 cost investors about $850 billion. The index has fallen 12% since peaking on April 29. The cost to shareholders: about $1.48 trillion.
Worldwide, more than $5.4 trillion in global equity value has been erased since July 26, Bloomberg News said.
We are all to blame. We have been electing the people in Washington during the past
3 decades from which this problem stems. Of course they didn't do their job that we
sent them there to do, but we just kept sending them.
Many of us are to blame for overextending our borrowing, buying houses we couldn't afford,
and expecting lower and lower tax rates that has resulted in 50% of the people in this country
paying no income tax. They do pay the SS and MC taxes. These breaks extended to the rich and the large corporations as well. It basically started with Reagen and is moving forward with OBama.
This not a spending problem nor a revenue problem. It is both. You simply can't solve
these problems by cutting spending or raising revenue. It will take a combination of both.
At this point we will not be able to simply grow our way out of it. There are few jobs left
for people to have to spur that growth. In this case Elvis has really left the building. He
has gone overseas with the jobs.
In Washington the blame game is reaching new heights. The R's blame the D's and Obama.
The D's blame the R's and Bush II for the problems. It has to end. These people have
to accept resonsibiltiy for what has happened and get to work on the solutions. Appointing
another political select committee is not the answer. They won't listen to them anyway.
The didn't the last one.
How can the R's blame the D's when the R's in the 20 years of the Reagen, Bush I and
Bush II administrations accumulated 10 trillion of the current 14 trillion debt. Of course
they blame in on D congresses, but isn't that what they made the veto pen for. Doesn't
the President make the budget and have the right to veto any spending measure that
he deams unacceptable.
Let's all accept the blame together and all work together to find the solutions.
The problems we have today did not happen overnight and they will not be solved overnight.
It will take many forthnights to work things out. Lets not take what we built up for 225 years
and destroy it in 30. We can do better than this.
i applaud all of you with optimistic outlooks for our economy hope your right don't think so tho.americas industrial base has been relocated thanks to free trade/job exporting. The damage is done. Our only hope is tariffs that make manufacturing profitable here again. But corporations are making money hand over fist having replaced us. They bribe/contribute to enough of our congressmen free trade will never be defeated. Ever since our country enacted free trade/job export our country has been in decline
tariffs mean jobs for americans
free trade means jobs for the chinese
My guess is that they will beg Ben to fire up his
printing press, and start turning out the funny money at
a rapid ...7/24 pace....
Which only helps banks, while driving the value of the dollar down for All Americans...
Should be a great day to watch the market, and listen to the excuses, and
the blame game played to the fullest..
Why anyone would put any credence in what S&P or any "rating" agency would say is absolutely amazing. These are the same "experts" that didn't see the subprime mess or credit default swaps, or CDO's, ect. ect. These crooks sell their ratings to the highest bidder and then in exchange for even bigger fee's they "overlook" the real balance sheet . They then get get hired by the very firms they rated (with huge raises) can anyone say conflict of interest? The US does have a debt problem as does Europe. However, I think what's going on is that this is laying the ground work for the government to steal our SS and medicare funds and shift them to the Dept. of Defense and the Banksters. Hey we don't have the money for the elderly or kids but we have plenty for QE-3, foreign aid, and to run 5 wars at the same time.
Thank you Boehner and your band of Tea Party renegades. Congratulations.....you won.
If only the rest of Congress was willing to listen to them, we would have had a much better chance to NOT end up here.
They were the ONLY group talking straight with the American people. To blame them is NONSENSE. Just more ADDICT TALK.
Gary Myers;
Great Posts, Gary. Hopefully, the American public has learned the hard way to vote for individuals not the party propaganda. I also don't have too much respect for the Tea Party but their presence just might be the catalyst to wake up both major parties. The S&P downgrade should have never happened except for congressional apathy and incompetence. We need term limits for congress to avoid complacency by career politicians indebted to corporate America and guided by self interests. rather than public interests. It's the only leverage the public has since members can't be removed mid-term.
Too late for most of you now anyway. I moved into cash about 9 months ago. I lost about 8% off the peak, but now I'm ahead on the year. You can't steer and brake after you've entered a curve.
If you're in now, you may as well hold on. We'll hit bottom in the next 4 to 6 months. In the meantime, I hope you have some stocks that pay dividends.
BTW: Blaming 'Tea Party' people for this mess is as silly as blaming steerage class passengers on the Titanic for driving the ship into an iceberg.

How To Salvage A Failed First MPJ Implant
- Volume 18 - Issue 5 - May 2005
- 27540 reads
- 0 comments
In Conclusion
Although surgical correction of the failed silicone implant in the first metatarsophalangeal joint can be technically difficult, three surgical treatment options are available: implant removal, implant replacement with a new device and bone block arthrodesis. Distraction arthrodesis is the only option that affords first metatarsophalangeal joint stability and a biomechanically sound first ray, and is the best option for an active person. With careful preoperative and postoperative management, one can achieve optimal outcomes with this procedure.

Hooksett school officials see Pinkerton contract problem
"At (Tuesday's) board meeting I tried to get the board to engage in a criteria on how to get the 75 kids if not enough sign up, but got nowhere. The board had no ideas, so Superintendent (Charles) Littlefield said that if it becomes a problem, he would bring it back to the board," Pearl said. "He said he doesn't have a process either. That could be very problematic."
"There was no other reason, I just wanted to get people out as quickly as possible," Korkosz said.
"It is definitely something that is on our agenda," Korkosz said.
Pearl said waiting on addressing the matter is a bad idea.
"My frustration is that I have to talk to the press to get action on this because the chair doesn't talk to me, but will talk to the press, and I don't hold it against the press, but as a board member that bothers me, so at this point I have to communicate through the Union Leader," Pearl said.
While Korkosz has previously said that Pinkerton is the best option for Hooksett, Anderson said, Hooksett's presence will be important to Pinkerton as well.

We loved this hotel, super close to restaurants and Universal. The bedding was all clean (something I check at every hotel before we bring in our bags). The staff was friendly even though we arrived late at night on this first night. Furthermore, the room was clean as a whole, and the bed was comfortable.
Not enough parking in front of our room, so we had to park in the back and walk a little bit. Wasn't too bad - but if you have children it would be an inconvenience.
Everything! excepting the archaic air conditioning devices.
The air conditioning devices (although it would be more of the same at many other places)
location decor breakfast facilities
Wi-Fi, fridge, microwave, location, new furniture
Icemachine next to my room.
close to Universal Studios...walk in 20-30 mins or $10 in short taxi ride / quiet location
small breakfast eating area for the number of people
Very close to universal studios and the staff were friendly and attentive. Queen's room was big, clean and efficient. Love the fridge and other kitchen facilities provided in the room..
The bathroom was kinda gross.. It looked like it was being repaired but wasn't completed. I didn't mind it because of the deal we got for the rooms..
Had a fridge and microwave. That's about it for positives.
Roaches. Need I say more? Room was also very humid even when cold from the AC. Cold and humid. Weird. Gross all around. Never again.
The hotel's location is very good and you can walk to Universal Studios (thus avoiding to avoid the expensive parking, and above all avoiding the queues in the evening exit from the park).
The air conditioning system is effective but its location (pretty much stuck to the bed) does not allow you to keep it on overnight
Good value for money... Among the cheap options that Orlando has to offer... This is good option
The shower ... Bath tub shower
Wi-fi was quik, and 15min walk to universal parks
First night there was a little frog, struggling in the spiderweb..inside our room. Ac was so loud that it had to close at night.. Carpet was so dirty that we used shoes inside whole the time.
great location!
The bathroom needs upgrade
Location to attractions Value for money Well presented room
Bathroom fittings were tired but clean
I loved everything including the free shuttle to the parks
The pool needs to be cleaned and there needs to be more options for breakfast
Great location- walking distances from universal. Very clean, and the staff was very helpfull
The bathroom - very old
OK pool
It started by getting a room key to a room that already was occupied... The rooms are a little dingy, breakfast is poor and the dining room is tiny and there is no room to sit there so we went to eat at a restaurant outside. It was a little crowded and noisy- there's no privacy unless you keep your curtains down 24\7. Looks like they changed management and the new guys are still trying to get the hang of it. A lot of room for improvement...
very good localization, near Universal studio (about 15 on foot) Friendly and helpfull staff.
poor breakfast
Cleanliness, location, comfort
Ease of access to plenty around hotel in walking distance.
loved the size and comfort of the rooms. value for price is incredible. i can only recommend every budget traveller to go there - it's almost perfect!
The room was in a great location with friendly staff.
The room to our door was jammed and we had to keep forcing it closed.
people is excellent
I liked the room, big, with two queen size beds, clean and welcoming. Walking distance to Universal Studios.
The breakfast is OK, but everything is sweet.
Location. Price...comfortable beds. TV was good but it was set on Spanish language and could not change.
Sink needed a plumber (slow drainage)... bugs on the sink area (sugar ants) Front door lock needs to be looked at..
Staff was friendly Location of property was great

MEDFORD, Wis (WSAU) Criminal charges have been filed against a 17-year-old student at Medford High School in connection with a school threat from last month.
Six days ago police were called to the school because of a threat of violence made in the girls bathroom.
Police now say the suspect, Denarah Kitzman, is being charged with obstructing an officer and bail jumping. Both charges are misdemeanors, but Taylor County prosecutors say she'll be tried as an adult and could face up to 18-months in jail.
After the threat was reported last Thursday police security was increased around the school the following day. More than 3 out of every 4 students at Medford High School stayed home the morning after the threat was revealed.

It would seem as though I have transgressed in my role as a blogger. Alas, I have simply lost interest in giving, whoever reads this, a daily update on my boring life. Although much has happened since my last post, I believe that if I need to talk about something, I do so with actual human beings. Or dogs, because dogs are good listeners. My point is that I might not ever make any posts here again. Sorry.
I haven't posted anything for a while, because I am unsure as to how I can sum up all of these wonderful things that have been happening to me. I decided not to sum everything up, because those of you who actually know me have already discovered the wonderful things. So I will write about something else.
I had a terrible dream the other night in which a little girl basically told me to watch my back. I have been wondering lately when the good things stop and the bad things come. Because what goes up simply must come down, right? So because of this dream, I'm worried that gravity will take hold of me again soon.
However, I just want to live in this moment, here. Where the good things just keep getting better. Even when I come crashing back to Earth, I'm going to continue living here.
It smells like vinegar in here, and the sun is shining hot out there. The Christmas tree still stands tall, but all the gifts are gone. A dog tries to make herself comfortable in a nest of blankets, but fails and has to circle again. The Internet connection is failing, laptop battery is dying. And I am breathing, thinking of what needs to be done, pumping blood to the toes far below.
I want much more than that for you (every one of you).
I want your new year to be prosperous and safe. A year when you realize life's possibilities and attack them with ferocity. I want you to decide your resolutions and accomplish them by June. I want you to travel to places you've always wanted to see. Cross everything off of your bucket list. Exercise, sleep more, achieve your dreams, laugh until you cry every day, quit that job, get back into doing what you love, run just for the sake of feeling your heartbeat course through your body. I want you to feel alive.
I haven't posted anything substantial for a while. I just don't have much to say. No, that's a lie. I have a lot to say, but I don't want to say it all until I'm sure that I should. Sorry.
You can't write something off as bad, if you've never experienced it. I am almost constantly surrounded by people who believe everything they hear or read. I am sick of it. If you only know what other people think they know, then you know nothing. The world has become a game of hearsay. Here's my challenge to YOU: do not believe everything, but rather question everything. Get more information on all things. This is easily done through experience. And please, keep some things to yourself. Thank you.
With this. Although it is not the most beautiful lake I have ever seen, it is the largest and most beautiful one within walking distance of my house. It makes me feel so at peace. I can't understand how so many people can run or bike around it, hardly seeing it, nor feeling what I feel. Many different kinds of animals live happily here. Families make memories here. And I get the honor of soaking it all in. If I had the time, I would sit on the eastern bank for hours and watch the world turn around me.
A lot of people say that they hate making mistakes. I welcome mistakes. If you count mistakes as the end-all, be-all of bad things, you miss out on a chance to learn and grow. Mistakes are that door that closes, so that another door may open up across the hall. Rome wasn't built in a day. And I'm sure they messed up a few times before they called it good.
I really wish I could see the world through another person's eyes.
Let me just start off by saying this - I really don't open up very quickly to people. I've had the same best friends for a very long time, and even they don't know much about me. I just don't trust people to keep my secrets, because I don't trust myself to keep theirs. I do have strong morals, but if I can't see anything ending badly, then I don't necessarily care what happens, until the end, when bad things happen. However, if someone does tell me a secret and specifically says that it is a secret and I need to keep it, I will die with that secret still untold.
In this blog, I am pretty vague, I don't get too deep about anything personal. That's just not something that I do, especially not over the Internet. If you want to get to know me on a more personal level, then just tell me, and I'll tell you, within reason, and depending on who you are, whatever it is that you want to know. Just don't ask too many questions. ;)
I have another blog idea, but I just need a few more things for it to be ready. You're all going to love it. Whoever you all are.

Poem: 'The Battle of Gazza [sic]' by Pte JD Morgan
Poem written by Pte JD Morgan
Somwhere at Gazza they laid them Somewhere at Gazza they fell Little we thought when we parted It was our last farewell
Gone are the friends we loved so dear Silent the voices we love to hear They sleep in a lonely grave Far from the ones they loved so dear
Somewhere at the Gazza they're lying They answered their country's call They all died as British heroes Tis the greatest death of all
None knew how sad the parting Nor what the farewell cost But God and his loving angels Have gained what we have lost

|Poem: 'The Battle of Gazza [sic]' by Pte JD Morgan
|This Poem by Pte J. D. Morgan printed in the Montgomeryshire County Times 21 July 1917, is a sample from a folder of research undertaken by Mrs Jones into the men named on the war memorial (1914-1919) of Guilsfield parish (near Welshpool, Montgomeryshire - now Powys, in Wales). During the battle of Gazza in 1916 Pte Frank Arthur, Guilsfield, was wounded. He died in Palestine in 1917, and photos etc. have also been submitted from that collection. The names on the Guilsfield memorial include: Frank Arthur, Ernest Charlton, Edward Evans, Robert Evans, Fred Evans, Charles Galliers, Robert Gainsford, Edward Griffiths,John Higgins, Edwin Jones, James Jones, Charles Jones, William Jones, Alan Langlands, Edward Lloyd, John Lloyd, Richard Morgan, Edward Morris, John Owen, Evan Phillips, Herbert Trevor, David E. Bailey, Herbert Bailey, Arthur Gough, Charles Jones, George R. Jones, Arthur T. Lewis, Mathew W.H. Morris, Richard D.H. Mytton, Gruffydd V. Trevor. Representing a number of regiments of the army, also the Royal Navy and the Royal Flying Corps. Also evident is the volunteers who joined up early in the war, as well as the tribunals which decided that even though farming was a reserved occupation that man-power being so scarce some men would be compelled to join the army, leaving their families, their aging fathers, mothers, sisters and younger siblings to continue to provide food for the war effort - an insight into the home-front in rural Wales.

SPOKANE -- The timely hits finally showed up for the Indians as Joe Jackson singled home Marcus Greene for the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning to top the Tri-City Dust Devils 6-5 to capture the series win in front of a sold out crowd of 6,861 fans.
Jackson wasn't the only Spokane player who showed up when it counted. In the bottom of the ninth, as the Dust Devils held onto a 5-4 lead, Ryan Cordell singled, advanced to second on a Barrett Serrato sac fly, and then stole third. Gabe Roa singled him home to tie the ball game and force the extra frame.
The Dust Devils jumped on Indians starter Ryne Slack in the second inning for three runs to take an early lead. Then in the bottom half of the fourth, with the Indians trailing 4-1, Roa belted a bases-loaded, bases-clearing double to tie the ball game.
Slack allowed four runs - three earned - in five innings pitched. He also had a season-high eight strikeouts to bring his total to 54. Ricardo Rodriguez relieved Slack in the sixth inning and tossed one scoreless inning. Abel De Los Santos allowed the Dust Devil's fifth run in the eighth inning. John Straka was credited with the win after tossing two innings and allowing only three hits.
Spokane's other run came when Serrato hit a sac fly to score Janluis Castro. Eduard Pinto doubled and Greene finished with a double and a triple.
The Indians are now off to Vancouver for three straight. Spokane will return home next Wednesday, August 28th, to host the Everett AquaSox for three games in the final homestand of the 2013 regular season.

Odds are you'd probably take one glance at the Philips' OLED "light bulb" and move on. It's not a remarkable looking piece of tech, at least without any context. But consider that an OLED light bulb disperses light from its entire source, and can be implemented into windows, and I'm sure your interest will be piqued.
That's right, apparently these OLED panels can be installed on glass, as in windows, and remain transparent to the eye until they're turned on. I'm not sure why you'd want to implement them in such a way, but as they say "if there is a will there is a way." HUE, which is almost made by Philips, uses an LED as its light source. And while you can manipulate the light's colors and brightness on the fly with a smartphone, it still emits light from a single point. OLED however distributes the light source more evenly, though it's debatable if that is a draw or a deterrent - I prefer focalized light. Since the panels are relatively slim and light weight you could very well place these on a surface or underneath things, and not endure the caveats of more traditional lighting, which is bulk and heat (aka fire) issues. But again, there are a myriad of other products on the market, such as LED rope lighting, or just regular rope lighting which can be bought for cheap at a Home Depot. So justifying the current price tag of 3-panels for $550+ is almost impossible.

Ryner said:
Working as a live-in personal assistant for an author, Laura is awakened one night by the sound of someone breaking into their hotel suite. When she yells for help, the masked burglar kisses her to keep her quiet, then leaves. Who is he and what was he looking for?
Laura is a pretty but empty-headed, naïve and self-deprecating – the most annoying kind of heroine(?). I picked this up because Madeleine Ker is the pseudonym of one of my favorite authors, Marius Gabriel. It was my first foray into graphic novels in which the book is read back to front, which made for an interesting experience but took some getting used to. Disappointingly, it confirmed my suspicion that pulp romance written by a talented author is still empty, unfulfilling, pulp romance, even when "printed in flirty pink ink!"

Why McDonald's is in trouble
Shares of America's iconic fast-food purveyor are falling into a downtrend for the first time since October.
McDonald's (MCD) is suffering. The stock is falling out of a two-month topping pattern on heavy volume as investors bail out of the pusher of Happy Meals and Big Macs -- reversing the 45-degree uptrend shares enjoyed between November and April. And for complacent investors who forgot that mega-cap stocks like MCD can actually go down, it's all a bit shocking.
But what's happening with McDonald's represents the tip of the iceberg in terms of deeper economic problems I've been talking about. It's suffering weak sales growth, with same-store-sales down 0.6% globally in April on declines in Europe and Asia as consumers run down their savings. Pricing power is weak (deflationary) as the fast food industry gets more promotional -- offering one-time deals and coupons -- to boost traffic -- in the context of record beef prices (pinching profitability).
And technically, MCD's slide represents an attractive short-side opportunity for aggressive traders.
The problem was outlined in the company's last earnings call back in April. It's just taken a month for investors to realize the troubles are real and worth selling over.
Management warned that given pressures on the expense line, maintaining profitability would require same-store sales growth of more than 3%. It's far from that. And comp sales are likely to get weaker as U.S. consumer spending -- which single handedly bolstered Q1 GDP growth -- will need to fall back to reality as recent purchases have been fueled by savings drawdowns in the midst of wage declines.
Sure, a strong stock market is boosting consumer confidence. But if there's no money in the bank, it doesn't matter.
After 1% decline in comp sales in Q1, and April's soft results, management is looking for May and June to be strong enough to lift the overall Q2 result to 2%. That's looking less and less likely. Thus, the selling pressure hitting shares today.
The company is also struggling with the end of its "bigger menu" tailwind that drove growth in recent years. In 2007, the company served 85 items. Now, it serves 145 according to Bloomberg's count. With franchisees complaining about kitchen complexity and longer drive-thru times, McDonald's is starting to pare back, refocusing on its core menu items but losing some of the gloss that attracted new diners.
The Angus burger, salads, the fruit-and-walnut platter, Chicken Selects, the McSkillet Burrito, and other items are being phased out. Less attractive alternatives are being phased in, from new quarter pounders to chicken wraps and an egg-white McMuffin.
UBS analyst David Palmer has a rosier outlook, and believes these new items, and the marketing surrounding them, will drive a big boost to May's sales results. Beverage and value marketing should carry the summer months, in his view.
For now, the share price suggests otherwise. Technically, the percentage price oscillator indicator has fallen into negative territory for the first time since October -- a clear sign a new downtrend is forming. I'm adding MCD short to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio on the breakdown.

I think it would be good if we could have commonly ordered food ready to go during peak times, such as egg muffins or cheeseburgers that way we can focus time and energy into making the less commonly ordered items and feed people faster building profits. Also another idea for a good, quick menu item would be a stir fry vegetable chicken mcwrap.. Have all the veggies cooked and ready to throw on the tortilla with the grilled chicken. The new mcwraps are popular with the customers but take longer to prepare. We could offer a couple more that are quick to make to even it out maybe...
Big Mac's image is slipping. It can improve by starting with cleanliness! Tables, booths, and chairs; are, filthy, from my experiences. Also, I'd rather take a beating, than use their bathrooms. They can be awful! Don't forget the Parking Lots - - especially, around their outdoor garbage receptacles. Dropping the Angus Beef Burger, was a tell-tale sign. Surrendering Quality; to increase their bottom line.
Tis' a shame! It is not your Parents - - or even, your Grand Parents,' Mickey D's.

10 Facts about the Exploratorium's SunPower Solar Power System
- The 1.3-megawatt (AC) SunPower solar power system is designed to ultimately generate 100% of the Exploratorium's electricity demand, helping it to achieve its 'net-zero energy' goal.
- The amount of power generated by the system is enough to power more than 1,000 average American homes each year.
- The system uses 5,874 high efficiency SunPower solar panels, which are up to 50% more efficient than conventional solar panels, to maximize the available roof space and allow the building to generate all the power it needs. These are the same kinds of panels that are installed on homes throughout California.
- According to estimates provided by the U.S. EPA, the SunPower solar power system will avoid the emissions of 33,150 tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the 30-year life of the system, which is equivalent to removing 5,910 cars from California's highways.
- Solar panels are designed to absorb as much light as possible and minimize reflection, so the system on the Exploratorium will produce less glare than standard window glass and other common reflective surfaces.
- The system will generate 1.4 megawatts of DC, or direct current, electricity on the roof and use an inverter to convert it into 1.3 megawatts of AC, or alternating current, electricity for use in the building.
- Any excess electricity not used by the museum will be fed into the utility grid to be used by other PG&E customers.
- The system will produce no noise, no emissions, and is virtually maintenance-free.
- Real-time system performance will be showcased in a display in the Exploratorium's historic bulkhead lobby, updated every 15 minutes.
- While other science museums have high efficiency SunPower systems on their roofs, this is the largest such installation on a science museum, and the only one helping a museum achieve net-zero energy goal.

Two months ago, men stopped eating at the American prison at Guantanamo Bay. By last week, the Guantanamo hunger strike had spread to dozens of other inmates. The government puts the number of protesters at about 40; lawyers for the prisoners say that a majority of the more than 160 men being held are refusing food. At least 11 are being force-fed. After a visit to the detention facility last week, the Red Cross saw "a clear link" between the hunger strike and the "emotional state" of men held in suspended animation, illegally deprived not only of freedom, but of hope.
A month ago, President Obama said, "I am not a dictator." He lacks the power, he explained, to "do a Jedi mind-meld" on legislators who thwart his proposals. He was speaking of a paralyzed budget process, but he could have been talking about Guantanamo. On his first day in office, in 2009, he signed an executive order closing the detention facility "no later than one year" from that date. It did not happen. Almost a year later, he ordered that a prison in Illinois be readied to receive detainees from Guantanamo. It did not happen. A year after that, he signed another order, to establish a review process for detainees. It did not happen.

Too late to say anything now
was no public input at a June 10 public hearing on the citys
six-year transportation plan, which will be up for final
council approval June 24.
The focus was on keeping it fairly austere, said city assistant public works director Steve Banham. We dont have a lot of dollars for construction. We dont even have dollars for maintenance. Efforts in the next couple of years will be more focussed on getting funds than on spending them, he said.
The top project on the list is the reconstruction of Marine Drive, planned to get rolling in 2007 with planning getting underway in 2005. After that comes the realignment of the Bell Road, Blaine Road, S.R. 543 intersection, also projected not to get rolling until 2005 or after.
The third priority on the list is a little more immediate. An access study for Blaines exits from I-5 has already been funded and would study whether additional access to the freeway is needed and where.
Other projects further out include reconstruction of Cherry Street, Boblett Street and the H Street hill, and additional bike paths. Reconstruction of 6th Street from H to D Street is the most immediate project on the list scheduled to get started this year.
The county six-year transportation plan, scheduled for a public hearing on July 16, would have some local impacts and city manager Gary Tomsic encouraged county council members to push for Blaine priorities. Wed like to encourage the county to keep the extension of Lincoln Road high on their list so we can move forward with our utility improvements, he said.
Banham explained that the new Lincoln Road substation and the Semiahmoo express feeder electric projects and the plans for a sewer diversion to start sending some Blaine wastewater to Birch Bay couldnt move forward until the design was complete for the countys planned extension of Lincoln Road. Weve asked them to speed up the Lincoln Road project so we know what the cross section will be, Banham said. If they need to move our utility, we would bear the cost.
The reconstruction of existing segments of Lincoln Road and a new section connecting Harborview Road to Blaine Road is now the number 13 priority on the countys six-year transportation improvement plan, phased to start construction in summer 2004..

To paint the knobs, temporarily put the mounting screw through the
previously made knife hole. Hold screw with one hand and paint the
knob with the brush held in your other hand.
The egg carton keeps paint off your hands and the work area, and makes
a great support for the knobs while the paint is drying.

Police: 14-year-olds smash 31 Memphis school buses
June 14, 2012 - 1:15 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Memphis say two 14-year-old boys used school buses for their own demolition derby.
According to The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/LWE3ZF), the teens crashed 31 school buses into each other Monday, causing over $60,000 in damage.
The buses are owned by Durham Services and were in an unsecured parking lot in East Memphis.
Police arrested the boys on 24 counts of vandalism and seven counts of burglary of an auto, but officers with dogs were unable to find a third person who fled as police arrived.

While Bella Swan sounds like it could be a Bond girl name, but don't expect a Twilight/James Bond crossover anytime soon. At least, not if Skyfall star Daniel Craig has his druthers about it. During a recent on-camera interview with the incredibly Australian morning radio duo The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the co-hosts asked Craig about his feelings on Didgeridoos and if he knows if he's played Knifey Spoony before. Okay, not true. They actually asked him about whether he'd like for Kristen Stewart, who recently said she'd entertain the idea of being a Bond girl, to be his next leading lady. ""No,"" Craig answered quickly, adding, ""She's in Twilight.""
PHOTOS: The Craziest, Dumbest 'Twilight' Merchandise Ever
Relax, Twihards, he kids, he kids. (Come on, didn't you see him on Saturday Night Live?) Craig promptly returned with a very devilishly Bond-like smile, ""I have no problem with Kristen Stewart being in Twilight; I'm being nasty. I'm only saying that because [The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is] coming out this weekend, so we're in direct competition with them. I'm sure she'd make a great Bond girl."" Well, she's definitely got a look that could kill.
Stewart's franchise flick Breaking Dawn Part 2 bested Craig's Skyfall at the box office last weekend when the vampire drama bumped Bond from the top spot with a staggering $141.3 million intake. To date, Skyfall has brought in $161.3 million at the U.S. box office alone.
PHOTOS:13 Bond Sex Scenes That Leave Us Shaken (Not Stirred)
The Stewart-as-a-Bond-girl exchange starts around the 2:20 mark, but you might want to stick around to hear Craig say ""I wouldn't know a One Direction song if it sat on my face"" a little later in the clip. This guy loves him modern pop culture, doesn't he? Watch the interview here.
Do you think the two massive franchises should cross-pollinate and consider having Kristen Stewart as a Bond girl? After all, Jennifer Lawrence has pulled off double franchise duty with The Hunger Games and X-Men. Or should Stewart, who clearly grew weary of doing Twilight promotion over the years, stick with smaller projects for everyone's sake? Share in the comments section below.

icanntspell replied to your post: During WW2 under the BRITISH mandate, Palestine was divided into two sections, one for the Palestinians and one for the Jews to call their own homeland, after being kicked out of the region in Ottoman Empire.
It wasn't only the British. Look up the San Remo Conference, what the League of Nations said on this subject matter.
I don't know how to use tumblr properly. I probably should. It seems like it is mostly mental masturbation site where people post their views and hope people agree with them to stoke their egos. So, i haven't spent much time learning how to use it properly.
People with your views are a mirror image of the religious Jewish settlers on the West Bank. Both you and those nutjobs look at the conflict through an irrational religious lense. You both want a one state solution so your religion can have power over all the land. You make it difficult for moderate or moderate right Israelis to support negotiations. In addition, by keeping the conflict as it is now, there is less incentive (or there is a lower priority) for moderate right Israelis to confront the stupid ass religious settlers. They figure why bother with those nutbags when we have even worse nutbags who fire rockets and mortars at our towns now. We can worry about the religious Jewish nutbags later. They are less of an immediate threat.

Pierre Reverdy event tonight at McNally Jackson (7 pm)
It Must in Fact Have Been Quite Cold
There's me
And all the buzzers in the house went off at once
Why have they brought so many bells and alarm clocks
From the tapestry where my body flattens in profile
hands like a platter asking for mercy I look
at my life from which I've withdrawn myself
Distances were done away with and yet everything
stays in place
All that's lacking is a little air
The harmony of their lines is enough to keep each
piece of furniture solid
Yet sometimes they weren't recognizable
The visitor is in the sitting room or at the door
waiting after having rung the bell
And all those who pass by hold their hats in their hands
But I can no longer come down
The tapestry is trembling
It's too cold
Unfortunately Paul Auster will not be able to make it to tonight's event at McNally Jackson as previous listed. However, Mary Ann Caws, Geoffrey O'Brien, Ron Padgett, Mark Polizzotti, and Richard Sieburth will all still be there reading from their translations of Reverdy's poem and discussing his work (plus wine). And for those concerned about the temperature, the poem above (translated by Marilyn Hacker) is for you.

Bulldogs Meet American, Stony Brook Saturday
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The quest for a third straight Ivy League title begins this weekend for the Yale volleyball team. The two-time defending Ivy League champion Bulldogs host two 2011 NCAA tournament teams -- Texas A&M and American University -- and up-start Stony Brook as part of the Yale Classic.
After a 12-2 Ivy League season and a trip to the NCAAs, Yale returns eight from last season's conference championship team, including junior Kendall Polan, the Ivy League Player of the Year, and sophomore Mollie Rogers, who earned conference rookie of the year honors. Here's a breakdown of the team:
Team captain and middle blocker Haley Wessels returns as the only senior on this year's team. After earning second team All-Ivy honors in 2010, Wessels, ranked fourth in Ivy League conference matches with a .343 hitting percentage and was named to Ivy League Weekly Honor Roll twice in 2011.
Kendall Polan, a setter, was named AVCA Honorable Mention All-America and First Team All-Ivy after leading the Ivy League with 11.27 assists per set in 2011, while also ranking among the league's top 10 in service aces and digs in conference matches. Outside hitter Erica Reetz earned Second Team All-Ivy honors after ranking ninth in kills per set in the conference last year, while also producing seven double-doubles (kills and digs). Middle blocker McHaney Carter, named MVP of the Yale Classic last season, reached 10 or more kills five times and was named to the Ivy League Honor Roll twice in 2011.
Outside hitter Mollie Rogers, First Team All-Ivy honors in addition to being named Rookie of the Year, ranked among the top 10 in several conference categories: kills per set (5th), points per set (5th) and hitting percentage (7th). Outside hitter Allie Frappier was named Second Team All-Ivy after finishing second in the Ivy League with a 3.53 kills per set average and third in points per set (3.81) in conference matches. Maddie Rudnick, a libero, led the team with a 4.63 digs per set average, totaled the sixth-highest single-season digs per set average in school history and ranked sixth in Ivy League conference matches with 5.00 digs per set average. Outside hitter Gabby Bird-Vogel appeared in six matches last season and adds to the team's depth in the outside hitter position.
For the fourth year in a row, the Yale volleyball team's incoming class of recruits has been recognized as one of the nation's best by PrepVolleyball.com. The class, featuring Jesse Ebner, Karlee Fuller, Kelly Johnson, Maya Midzik and Christine Wu, was selected for High Honorable Mention alongside such nationally ranked programs as Tennessee, Oregon and Dayton. Ebner, a 6-0 middle, competed at a high level for many years as a member of Vision Volleyball Club and Sacred Heart Prep. Fuller, a 6-0 outside hitter, will be the third Bulldog to hail from La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, Calif. Midzik, a middle, was named to the PreVolleyball.com High School All-America Special Mention Team in 2012. Wu, a libero, was a three-time Academic All-Conference selection for Naperville North High School.

For instance, by using different metals or a combination of metals and polymers, a 3D printer could make body armor for soldiers or police officers that is stronger, yet lighter, than anything that could be produced by layering materials on top of each other in traditional manufacturing today.
Using different metals and polymers, also would make it possible for a company to print the custom-fit foam and padding for the inside of a football helmet that would be laced with sensors. With the sensors built inside the foam, the number, and severity, of hits a player takes on the head can be tracked, helping to keep athletes from suffering brain injuries.
That kind of advance in manufacturing, said Basiliere, would be helpful to a lot of companies.
"Well, you can get a printer that can print with three different plastics," he added. "They're the same material but different colors... If someone was to come out with the ability to print with different materials, one could be a base to carry another material that could carry an electric charge. Then you could reduce a two-step operation to one step. That could increase quality and reduce price."

A Stock for the Long Term Investor
Harsh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There are a number of component suppliers who stand to gain from the mobile computing revolution. But investors need to be smart enough and separate the wheat from the chaff so that they can put their money on the right stocks. One such company which caught my mind when I was scouting for such stocks is Atmel (NASDAQ: ATML). Let's see why.
Atmel makes touchscreen microcontrollers for tablets and smartphones. However, its performance in the last reported fourth quarter was not pretty impressive. Moreover, the company ships its microcontrollers to non-Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) manufacturers such as Samsung, Dell, and HTC etc. Not being in the books of the iKingdom does knock some wind out of the sails. But one shouldn't discount Atmel on this ground as the company has a lot to offer.
All of us know that the Apple iPad is the king of tablets. It has established its supremacy in this domain with little competition (read as the Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Kindle Fire). However, market research firm IDC sees a trend reversal in this arena in the future. The firm says that Android enabled tablets might gain solid ground by 2015 and could trump Apple's iOS in terms of global market share, but would remain behind on revenue generated. The expected jump in sales of Android tablets will do a world of good to Atmel and might also bring in the shine for investors who place their faith in the stock.
But that's not all. The study by IDC hasn't factored in tablets powered by Windows 8 which again might prove to be a driver for Atmel. The company is making touchscreen controllers for Windows 8 based tablets and ultraportable computers. So once these devices hit the shelves, Atmel can expect some more addition to its top line.
Now let's shift our attention to the smartphone segment. Although Atmel is not in the books of Cupertino, it does find a way inside Apple's arch enemy, Samsung. Atmel's maXTouch controllers are expected to be used across various series of Samsung phones, such as the Focus and the Galaxy S2 LTE version.
Moreover, rumors that Atmel may be the supplier for Amazon's next edition of the Kindle Fire do their bit in filling up the air with some more excitement. If this turns out to be true, Atmel could be laughing all the way to the bank as the Kindle Fire is surely capable of creating a dent in iPad sales as we all saw some time back.
So much said, now let's see how Atmel is valued. The company trades at a P/E multiple of 14.58, which is cheaper than the industry average of 16.64. Again, it is found to be cheap when stacked up against peers LSI Corporation and Himax Technologies (NASDAQ: HIMX) who sport P/E's of 16.01 and 32.52 respectively. It should be noted that Himax has recently turned its attention towards manufacturing touchscreen controllers and came up with some impressive results last quarter. Himax's controller business grew 26% from last year and this provides me with more belief that an established player like Atmel is capable of performing well in the long run.
Atmel might take some time to come around. But the developments at the company and in the industry more or less tell me that it will probably do well in the long term. If you are one of those investors who have the patience to wait out till Atmel steps on the gas, the time looks conducive for you to get Atmel in your portfolio.
