9 Facts You Need to Know to Treat Adult Acne
How to Treat Adult AcneAdult acne is different from teen acne.
More than half of women in their twenties experience breakouts. But instead of popping up in the oily T-zone area, as it did in high school, acne, which is caused by monthly surges in the hormones estrogen and progesterone, now appears as pink pimples on the lower part of the face in a V shape from the chin up the sides of your jaw. "If you are prone to hormonal breakouts, avoid spot treating," says Diane Berson, MD, president of the Women's Dermatologic Society. Instead, wash your face with a salicylic acid cleanser -- we like Olay Acne Control Face Wash ($7, drugstores) -- followed by a salicylic acid toner in oilier areas. Finally, treat those same zones with a gel that has benzoyl peroxide, like DDF Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5% with Tea Tree Oil ($28, sephora.com).Two acne fighters are better than one.
Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide have been recommended separately by derms for decades. But according to a study from Harvard Medical School, when used in tandem the two OTC ingredients are just as effective as benzoyl peroxide plus the prescription antibiotic clindamycin. "Salicylic acid unclogs pores so that benzoyl peroxide, which treats the breakouts, can penetrate better," Dr. Berson says. A good combo: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Foaming Scrub ($7, drugstores) and La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment ($36, cvs.com).Wash your face every night, even if you don't wear makeup.
Your skin collects pore-clogging oil during the day. And that's only half the story. According to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, there's also a link between air pollution and skin bumps. Researchers found that in the days after pollution levels increased, more people booked derm appointments. Keep oil-free face wipes, such as Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Pads ($8, drugstores), on your night table for times you're just too exhausted to wash before bed.

Brock Van Wey's new album lives up to its mystical name. It's an awe inspiring edifice in its own right even though the architecture of this aural citadel is essentially quite simple. The tracks are mostly built around short phrases or patterns that are repeated over and over again for an average of 10 minutes. So this is no prog rock labyrinth. The complexity lies elsewhere, in the building materials themselves - the textures - and how they are layered together to create a sumptuously rich tapestry of sound that seems imbued with a divine spirit.
As far as I can gather, Temple of Silence is a name used for places of meditation. Incredibly apt for what you experience listening to this mesmerizing music. The hypnotic repetition, slow build up and increasingly complex soundscapes draw you into a deep trance if you let them. The opening track, "A Quiet Doorway Awaits", ushers you into this place of power. By the middle of the second track, "The Past Disappears", the present and future have also evaporated and you feel like you've left this mortal coil behind.
I have to admit, the first couple of times I listened to the album I had a hard time staying awake. First of all, because I'm probably not getting enough sleep these days. But also because you can't help but just completely relax and let go listening to this album. It's magical.

– John Kemp is a Reuters columnist. The views expressed are his own –
The global slowdown is hitting China's modern manufacturing base in Guangdong province especially hard. Deputy governor Huang Longyun on Thursday warned a news conference "the situation is grim" and the manufacturing hub around Pearl River Delta is bearing the brunt of China's slowdown.
Guangdong's burgeoning factories have supplied most of the cheap manufactured items flooding world markets in the last five years. They have also been the source of most of the marginal demand for crude oil, refined products and other raw materials. The province's slowdown will therefore have profound effects on global markets and prices in 2009.
More than any other province, Guangdong has been a showcase for modernization and an export-led growth and development strategy. Its modern export-oriented factories, many organized as joint ventures with foreign companies, have given it some of the fastest growth rates in China.
Guangdong has consistently outperformed traditional industrial centres in the north-east around Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Shandong. Central government leaders have urged the north-eastern provinces to follow the south's strategy: reform struggling industries focused on producing industrial materials and low value items for the domestic market, and re-orient them towards producing lighter, higher-value industrial products for export.

A fadish hairstyle popular with African Americans in the 80's. Tightly curly "black" hair is chemically treated to be long an wavy. Jerry Curls had to be "rewetted" constantly with Jerry Curl activator to prevent drying out. Jerry Curl "juice" is responsible for staining millions of coat and shirt collars, automobile headrests, and sofa backs.
The Jerry Curl fad is one that many blacks would rather forget.

These are excellent gloves! I have big hands so most gloves are too small as they don't offer anything larger than XL - and if they do - their XXL is more like a true XL size. These 2XL's fit great! Pre-curved fingers and no binding across the knuckles when gripping the bars. No leaks after a couple of rides in pouring rain and the lining stays put when you take them off. There's enough insulation to keep your hands warm yet still maintain excellent dexterity. I like the short (no gauntlet) design; I can cinch my jacket sleeve tightly over the glove cuff to keep the wind/rain out - and the water doesn't pour down my sleeve and into my glove when I stop and/or get off the bike. Oh, and the rubber visor "squeegee" on the left index finger comes in handy! If they are as durable as they look they'll easily be worth the investment!

In this penetrating volume, young scientists will find out about this dinosaurs senses, why its front arms were so tiny, and all about its razor-sharp teeth.

Let me tell you about axolotls (in brief)
I don't remember the exact details, but this reminds me in some ways of the experiment where they gave an axolotl growth hormone and it developed into a kind of salamander that hasn't lived on the earth for thousands of years. I've always been fascinated by ancient ruins and civilisations, and I guess I like the fact that there are still genes around that code for fragments of the past :3
Axolotls! One of my favorites. I'll have to do a post on them at some point. B) And yes, adding thyroid hormone can cause a metamorphosis - here's a nice paper detailing the progression of the metamorphosis after the hormone is added. And here's a picture of an axolotl because axolotls are awesome:
[If you don't know about them, it's high time you did.] Axolotls are a type of salamander that retains its larval characteristics for its entire lifetime. They develop lungs, but they never lose those fine, feathery gills you see.
However, axolotls metamorphosing into adults are not quite so rare! They're not inclined to 'grow up' naturally, for the most part, but can do so if forced by circumstances, say, if their habitat dries up or if their parents kick them out of the house and tell them to get a job. However, morphing tends to be very stressful on axolotls, and it is not recommended that this be induced. Hobbyists who have had accidental morphs report a decline in the axolotl's lifespan and general health.

Pleasantly surprised!
I love the earrings, great sparkle, great price. The only thing is the stems on the earrings are a little long and the poke my skin sometimes. I would recommend Blue Nile
Beautiful Earrings and Straight Forward Site
The earrings look great on my wife and she wears them always!As a guy I appreciate the straight forward site in picking the stones and settings and succinctly explaining "Martini Three Prong" vs the other ones are. Not to mention what they all are. I ordered at the last minute, literally. FedEx didn't make it Christmas Eve but they made it Christmas Day!! Saved my life!
Loved the earrings. Receipt is in the envelope!
Just as described. Well packaged. Exceptionally fast delivery, although FedEx was 5 hours late getting here (Christmas Eve, of course). Warning! Receipt came in the "important documents" folder. My wife wasn't expecting much for Christmas and almost fainted when she saw how much it was. BUT, for what it was, the price was great. So, if they are a gift, just know the receipt is in the "documents" folder.
I have returned the earrings. They were beautiful and exactly as represented. Unfortunately for me, they hurt getting them in aside from being very difficult to put in.
Returned to have posts reworked: Dislike screw backs, and posts too long. Look forward to receiving the improved earrings - they are just what I want, when set up better.
I Love My Earrings!
My husband bought me a pair of beautiful diamond earrings for our 20th Anniversary! I love them! I was worried about the post being too thick, but was excited to find they were just perfect!
it was a homerun!
just as good as the rep had said it would be. it truly was a homerun.
after looking few jewelry stores I got the best quality and on top of that the best price by far
Very very nice earrings. Wayyy better than what I could buy in a jewerly for the same price and they are GIA! Something not offer in most jewelry stores ( not a biggie if you know a lot about diamonds...in my case de GIA is the I feel safe having it ( im sure of quality of my earrings) I picked up my own diamonds and they arrived with no issues. I was a little worry about buying it online so I took them to a diamond dealer in town ( the one who sold my husband the diamond for my engament ring) he checked against GIA and said that it match ... then he tried to sell me son earrings already in a setting with lower color grade and without certs. He quit trying when he realized I was not going to acept lower grade.
I adore these earrings!!
The earrings I purchased came in on time and were even more beautiful than I imagined!
Awsome buy
This was exactly what we were looking for at a fair price. Fast delivery very good quality.
Completely Satisfied!
Completely Satisfied! The entire experience from research to comparison to purchase was handled professionally. I don't see how we could have better matched both earrings any other way. With the worldwide selection we found a pair of stones nearly identical. They are beautiful and my initial reluctance to purchase a major item online vanished. The after sale questions were handled professionally. I would definitely buy again.
They were beautiful diamonds, loved the martini setting. Only problem was the screw back, the post did hurt my ears going in and I had a lot of problems getting one to screw on far enough. Returned them only because of allergic reaction but am going to upgrade size and order in platinum soon!! Beautiful tho! Only issue was "ME"!
Wow factor
WOW!! I went high on everything, cut, clarity, color and kept the carat just shy of one. I haven't seen diamonds sparkle like this in any Jewelry store except Tiffany's which is at least double the price. Needless to say she loves them and hasn't taken them out since.
Funny how my wife wears her hair back more since she got these gorgeous earrings!
Just beautiful! Laurie did a great job helping me navigate the selection of diamonds. So glad I upgraded to an F in color, the cut and quality can't be beat. It's like my wife has 2 little spotlights on her ears!
I love these!
Having worked in the jewelry industry, I would NEVER buy stones from anyone other than Blue Nile. I love the "build your own' option. I am quite particular about my stones and settings. I love these! I never take them off!
I love these earings
Good quality diamond earrings .They were very beautiful .
Beautiful stones, I expected nothing less!
The diamonds were exquiste..the setting arrived bent and had to be returned for repair. BN was courteous and prompt fixing the problem.
great birthday present
great value for the money we paid, the earrings have great sparkle...it just took a couple of tries to get used to the screw back
Wow! I love my new earrings.
The diamond education section of your website contributed greatly to my choice.
Excellent Experience
The earrings I purchased were of great quality, but, just as important, the service was outstanding. Blue Nile contacted me when my selection didn't pass a visual inspection. They assisted me in finding the right stones. The service was better than most brick and mortar stores! Plus, I like being able to see all of the stats on the stones up front rather than trying to question a clerk with limited knowledge in a store.
Professional service
Quick, efficient, exactly what I expected. Reassuring to have a detailed description of the stones and a GSA certificate.
Absolutely Stunning. The brilliance of each diamond's cut is exceptional. An independent appraisal valued the stones at more than twice what I paid at Blue Nile. She loved them.

Could a few of us get some help with an overwhelmingly big idea? We call it the Co-opernation. We could also use help naming things.
My beloved and I would often get frustrated watching TED talks, seeing all these lovely, brilliant ideas that we were afraid would never happen in the real world, even though they made more sense than what we saw around us.
When she passed away, a few of us started working on an idea she inspired.
The idea was to stop fighting AGAINST anything and to simply use every single tool at our disposal to make a better place for the people we loved. We looked in a lot of right places and even more wrong ones, focused on seeing tools as what they were rather than what they were used for, and a strange question presented itself.
Would it be possible to take the framework of a corporation, like a Valve or Mondragon, insert a whole bunch of other people's amazing ideas and basically, turn corporate campuses into charter cities? Could we free people to simply help other people and remove most of the worries society has created? If we do this right could we hire anybody who wants to be a good person and contribute to the greater good and instantly free them from the current messes we're in?
So, we found our 'yes' answer pretty early (mostly standing on the shoulders of giants who hate each other), but it was a scary revolutionary confrontational thing and somehow that just felt WRONG. So we dedicated ourselves to making it gentle, harmless, hilarious, and non-threatening, and we're pretty much there.
And now we need help! We're shy, but since TED really is the biggest source we have, we want to start here. Our hope is to get some help organizing us, getting this idea out there and into some better hands so it can grow and get even better, then we can hopefully crowdsource a mellow revolution.
If anybody could point us in the right direction it'd be great!

Jimmy Strobl 50+May 29 2013: Hi William, (Part 1)
I've been thinking along these ways for quite some time now and I'm glad to see that I'm not alone with this idea.
But instead of a "Co-opernation" it's always been "The self replicating village" in my head.
I'm not sure how much of a help this is for you but I think you could use some of the tools and methods that I've found in my search to help realize this.
So it probably goes without saying that money is (sadly) needed for this and crowdfunding is a possible and great way to go (I think it has to crowdfunded to succeed). However the usual sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are ill equipped for this kind of thing since they mostly focus on "creative projects". So here are 10 sites that might be better suited for that goal. http://plantostart.com/10-crowdfunding-websites-entrepreneurs/
Now to the profits, it has to be; Green, good and profitable. I'm not sure if you've heard of Gunther Pauli, but he's had at least three TEDxTalks and his company "The Blue Economy" has open solutions for making money while being green and doing good to the world. I'll list one of his Talks and the website.
Talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyTHmTDT2Qw
Website: http://www.blueeconomy.eu/
Then you'd need the architecture for whatever you're planning on building and I would strongly advice using OpenArchitectureNetwork. Here's the TED Talk from 2006 and a link to the website.
Talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/cameron_sinclair_on_open_source_architecture.html
Website: http://openarchitecturenetwork.org/
Since information is key you'll need a website to present all the aspects of the projects and it has to be well designed and appealing. For this TopCoder is the best option that I've found. There are nearly half a million registered users that know how to design and code just about anything that can be written with 1's and 0's and it's modeled much like OpenArchitectureNetwork. There's no Talk, only a website to this one I'm afraid.
May 30 2013: I've got to add, the geek in me is in love with TopCoder! :)
Many thanks! And yes, we're heading the same place, just for slightly different reasons!
We all want to head in generally the same place, I think. We just need to band together en-masse instead of having all these tiny little projects and dreams that never really get to play in the sea of ideas.
We need an umbrella!

Buck, Jari Holland
Adult Nonfiction R727.45 .B83 2007
Summary: When Jari Holland Buck's husband became seriously ill, she stayed by his side and bravely fought for his life. Her steadfast attention to detail-questioning caregivers, researching medicines, and providing a positive, spiritually rich environment for healing-produced a medical miracle: his survival. The author's vivid experiences form the basis of this guide to becoming a patient advocate. Her life-saving lessons will help you choose the best hospital, develop a partnership with caregivers, prevent medical mistakes, and avoid caregiver burnout. Along with practical advice for enforcing patient rights, executing power of attorney, and avoiding inappropriate hospital charges, the author also explores how to bolster the body, mind, and soul of a critically ill loved one through prayer, positivity, and spiritual healing. "A must-read for any family caregiver. Jari Holland Buck dramatically brings to life challenges that family members face when a loved one is in the hospital. She proves that with a little knowledge, a lot of love, and by relentlessly asking questions, you can ensure that your loved one receives the best the health care system has to offer and truly become a respected member of the health care team." -Gary Edward Barg, Editor-in-Chief of Today's Caregiver magazine "I found Jari's book the best of the lot. It is written in a way that the reader can envision each crisis clearly. It is a first-hand account of what can go wrong in any hospital. It is not overshadowed by anger but gives a realistic account of the facts. I especially appreciated the checklists she created to help families and patients to not forget the steps that are needed to improve patient safety and the quality of care. I encourage patients, families and medical professionals to read this valuable book." Douglas Hall, principal PULSE of Florida (Patient Safety Advocate)

Software that Reduces Maintenance of Multivariable Predictive Controllers
The Software Is Easy to Use. It Takes About 30 Minutes to Create
The degradation of the models used by Multivariable Predictive Controllers (MPC) is primarily due to changes in the PID controller's tuning or configuration. The physical plants vessels, piping, and inventories which set the basic dynamics do not change significantly with time. As the models degrade, the performance of the controller eventually reaches such a low point that the controller is either turned off or the process unit is retested to upgrade the model. Turning the controller off is not desirable, since the full value of the controller is lost. Retesting is usually a high cost event because it requires engineering support from a contractor or some other part of the organization. Many times the poor performance of the controller is due to equipment failure such as a valve becoming stuck or losing its plug. The loss of one key valve that requires a shutdown to fix, forces the controller to be put on manual which can destroy the entire MPC's model and cause the controller to be turned off.
Also Read: Model Predictive Control - Past, Present and Future, Part 1
Cutler Technology's Universal Process Identification (UPID) software will be used to demonstrate how the problems with PID configuration and tuning can be reduced to a minimum. A depropanizer model will be used as the process example. The independent manipulated variables in the model are the set points for the feed rate, the top pressure on the column, the tray 5 temperature (5 trays from top), and the heat medium flow to the reboiler. The tray 5 temperature is controlled by manipulating the reflux to the column. The top pressure controller by passes the overhead condensing system and sends the hot vapors directly to the overhead accumulator to increase the pressure. The MPC on the column controls the top temperature and bottom temperature. The differential pressure across the column and the valve position on the pressure controller are the main constraints. These controlled variables are dependent variables in the controller's model. The other dependent variables in the controller model in Display 1 are there to facilitate the rearrangement of the control matrix when it becomes prudent to put one or more of the PID controllers in manual in the MPC model.
In Display 1, it should be noted that the PV for a specific manipulated variables comes to 1.00, i.e. the PV comes to its setpoint. The response of this PV for the other manipulated variable is zero or comes back to zero at steady state for the other manipulated variables. This response is true because the manipulated variables are independent from one another. The valve positions of the manipulated variables change to make this independence possible.
In Display 2 the Top Pressure PID controller has been switched to manual in the model. The Top Pressure valve position becomes the manipulated variable. The setpoint for the pressure replaces the valve position as a dependent variable and tracks the pressure PV. During the summer when the cooling water temperature goes up, it becomes desirable to switch the pressure controller to manual, to tell the MPC that it needs to use the other manipulated variables to control the pressure on the column. As can be seen in Display 2, all of the other manipulated variables have a significant effect on the pressure. The MPC controller with the pressure PID controller in manual can completely close the valve on the bypass around the condensers.
Closing the valve permits the maximum cooling for the column.
The Tray 5 Temperature PID controller is switched to manual in Display 3 The PID controller on tray 5 temperature is a cascaded loop that moves the setpoint on the reflux to the column. The MPC controller model in Display 3 has the reflux valve position as one of its independent manipulated variables.
In Display 4, both the temperature PID controller and pressure PID controller are in manual. The MPC model is significantly changed from the original model when all the setpoints were functioning. There are many reasons PID controllers are switched to manual during the course of a run. A run may last a number of years, so every effort should be made to keep MPC on control. A controller may be switched to manual when a valve is sticking so frequently that it is putting cycles into the entire process unit. The process piping may not have adequate by passes to permit the valves to be blocked in and removed for repaired.
In Display 5, the models for the key constraint CVs are compared for the four set point case and the two set point case. The valve position responses are obviously different from the set point responses. Major differences in the gains also exist for the setpoint versus setpoint responses. When the configurations of the PID controllers within a multivariable controller are changed, it affects the entire controller model.
Changes in the process mode of operation may cause one or more controllers to become unstable. The PID controllers must be tuned to gain stability. The new tuning changes the MPC model. In Display 6 the PID controllers have become unstable. The software allows the PIDs controllers in the MPC model to be tuned to match the plants tuning as illustrated in Display 7. The ability to change the PID controller's tuning and configuration in the MPC model to match the current conditions on the process unit can significantly increase the on stream factor, the quality of the MPC control, and the profitability of the controller.
The software is easy to use. The six models that follow, took about 30 minutes to create. The controller has fourteen dependent variables. Seven of the dependent variables were dropped out of the displays to make them readable.

Capitol Hill Townhome Rental Photos and Description
Main bedroom with queen bed, second bedroom with two twins, full sized crib
This is a remodeled Victorian town house with sun filled bay windows. It is on a quiet residential street, yet as centrally located as it gets. The Capitol complex and the Supreme Court are only three blocks away. 'Restaurant Row', a stretch of Massachusetts Avenue with numerous restaurants, is only one block away. The National Mall, Smithsonian Museums, and the Newseum are all within walking distance. You will not need a car. Built in 1890 and renovated in 2010, the house combines historic charm with a modern layout. It has a completely open floor plan on the main level. It is furnished comfortably for a family of four (five if counting a crib) without cramming. Larger families may want to consider a combined rental of this property with the ground floor flat in the same structure (HomeAway #340015), or the slightly larger Yellow House (HomeAway #265943). The main house and ground floor flat are totally independent, with separate entrances and mechanical systems.

About Alec Smyth
I am an engineer and management consultant with a passion for marine environmental issues and ocean exploration.
Alec Smyth purchased this townhome in 2010
Why Alec Smyth chose Capitol Hill
My wife and I invest in properties that meet two fundamental criteria; they must be ideally located for visitors, and nice enough that we would like to live in them ourselves. That translates to properties located in the five or six blocks of Capitol Hill closest to the National Mall, homes with historic charm, and with open floor plans on the ground floor. They must be on streets that are attractive yet quiet.
What makes this townhome unique
There is a lot to see in Washington, with over fifty museums, but unfortunately we feature the very longest commutes in the nation. The museums have no parking, which may be a deliberate strategy to reduce the number of cars. Capitol Hill is the area immediately surrounding the US Capitol, and because it is a historical conservation neighborhood of small houses that cannot be altered, it contains almost no hotels. By staying at a home on the Western edge of Capitol Hill, you are closer to the sites than at a hotel, and free from the hassles of commuting because everything is within walking distance. Quite aside from the convenience of the location, both house and neighborhood are charming.

Laptop Monitor Arms
A laptop arm enables users to position a laptop at an appropriate ergonomic height and position, as well as frees up valuable desk space. We recommend anyone who uses a laptop in the office should consider adding a laptop arm to his or her ergonomic arsenal.
Typing on a laptop is an inherently un-ergonomic position. The angle of the screen and the small keyboard virtually ensure that you will scrunch and contort your way to discomfort before too long. Correct positioning of a laptop on a laptop arm will help to prevent further damage and put you in good ergonomic habits.

Will the Dow hit a new record this week?
The blue chip index had its second-best finish ever on Monday and could break its 2007 record this week. But gains may be limited by Friday's big jobs report.
($INDU) may set a new record perhaps as soon as Tuesday -- as investors shrug off concerns over sequestration, turmoil in Europe and worries that China is on a new campaign to cut property inflation.
The Dow finished Monday up 38 points to 14,128, its second-highest close ever. The blue-chip index finished about 37 points below its all-time closing high of 14,164.53, set on Oct. 9, 2007.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) also finished higher.
Futures trading suggests a small gain at the open on Tuesday. The day will feature a key economic report -- the monthly report on the non-manufacturing economy from the Institute for Supply Management.
In addition, diet company Nutrisystem (NTRI), juice-retailer Jamba (JMBA) and gun-maker Smith & Wesson Holding (SWHC) will report quarterly results. This is a week dominated by economic reports, with none more closely watched than Friday's jobs report. The report, due out before the stock market opens in New York, is expected to show the nation's unemployment rate at 7.9%, with 155,000 payroll jobs created during February.
Economists at IHS Global Insight think the payroll number will come in at 145,000. IIHS believes the February blizzard that hit the Northeast slowed job creation.
Even if the numbers are stronger than expected, the market reaction may be muted -- due to concerns over what a protracted sequestration may look like. Sequestration is the name given for automatic spending cuts mandated by the 2011 budget deal between Congress and the White House.
The cuts have been forced when House Republicans refused to consider any proposals to boost tax revenue. The cuts will fall on defense and non-defense spending with a 2% trimming of Medicare spending as well.
The effects of the cuts will come over time, with the Obama Administration estimating some 750,000 jobs in the private and public sectors could be lost.
Also due this week is a jobs-related report, Wednesday's ADP National Employment Index, which looks at trends in private-sector employment.
In addition, the Federal Reserve will release its Beige Book report on Wednesday afternoon. It is a narrative look at the economy, based on data gathered by staffs at the nation's 12 Federal Reserve banks.
The government also will report on factory orders Wednesday.
Monday's gains were triggered following a speech by Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen. She said the U.S. central bank should press on with $85 billion in monthly bond buying, while tracking possible costs and risks from the program.
The Dow had been down as many as 59 points on worries about a slowing Chinese economy before Yellen spoke. Oil prices moved lower and didn't recover.
The Fed's bond-buying program has ignited a fierce debate between economists, who believe the economy needs all the help it can get to recover, and critics who fear the Fed's policy will reignite inflation and destabilize markets.
The Dow came within 16 points of a new high on Thursday before profit-taking scuttled a sizable rally.
If the blue chips do hit a new high, a clear breakout for the market overall will come if the S&P 500 can jump past its 2007 high of 1,565, also set in October 2007. That may take a bit more time.
Nineteen of the 30 Dow stocks were higher on Monday, led by Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and Home Depot (HD). Caterpillar (CAT) and United Technologies (UTX) were the laggards. Both are vulnerable to the political warfare in Washington.
Apple (AAPL) hit a new 52-week low at $419 and finished at $420.05, down $10.42. Google (GOOG) finished at $821.50, up $15.31 after hitting a new intraday high of $822.84.
Yahoo (YHOO) also hit a new 52-week high of $22.74 before settling at $22.70, up 76 cents.
Google has gained 16.3% this year; Yahoo is up 12.3%. Apple is down 21%.
More from Top Stocks
I consider myself an Independent. However, this story is telling, and I see it all the time. The story states, "
The cuts have been forced when House Republicans refused to consider any proposals to boost tax revenue." Wouldn't a person be justified in saying it is because President Obama refuses to deal with spending cuts? The idea was that after the Republicans agreed to higher taxes, spending would be addressed. Mr Obama developed a sequester so spending would be addressed. Now Republicans are hostage unless they agree to more taxes.
The newspapers sell their issues based on an average 5th grade reading level, and they know that. Shouldn't a paper explain that each side has been treated badly? At least both views could be explicated.
If anybody is mucking everything up, I think journalists can easily take a bit of the blame.

Earnings watch: GE, McDonald's
General Electric meets forecasts, while McDonald's beats estimates as global sales rise.
By Andrea Tse, TheStreet
General Electric (GE) earnings rose 57% to $3.22 billion in the third quarter, up from $2.06 billion a year earlier. Operating earnings in the quarter were 31 cents a share, meeting the estimates of analysts.
McDonalds (MCD) posted earnings of $1.45 a share in the third quarter on revenue of $7.2 billion, and global same-store sales were up 5%. The top and bottom line were an improvement from the year-ago quarter, when the fast-food giant earned $1.29 a share on revenue of $6.3 billion. Analysts had expected $1.43 per share on revenue of just over $7 billion.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) posted third-quarter earnings of $60.4 million, or $1.90 a share, beating Wall Street's estimate of $1.85. Chipotle said it expects new store openings for 2011 to come in at the high end of a range of 135 to 145, with same-store sales expected to grow in the low double digits.
Microsoft (MSFT) reported an in-line profit for its first quarter, with revenue rising 7% year over year because of strong sales from its business division. The software giant said it earned $5.74 billion, or 68 cents a share on revenue of $17.37 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings of 68 cents per share and revenue of $17.25 billion.

The company also raised its earnings-per-share outlook to $4 to $4.05, up 33% to 35% over last year's earnings, after reporting third-quarter profit of $1.10 a share, which beat the average analyst estimate of $1 a share.
Verizon Communications (VZ) is targeting full-year adjusted earnings-per-share growth in the single digits ranging from 5% to 8% and single-digit revenue growth of 4% to 8% from the previous year. The company reported third-quarter profit of 56 cents a share, edging past the Wall Street consensus target of 55 cents a share.
Semiconductor company Altera (ALTR) said fourth-quarter revenue will likely be down 7% to 11% sequentially, after reporting third-quarter earnings of 57 cents a share, which missed Wall Street estimates by 2 cents.

During the quarter, Altera repurchased 4.8 million common shares.
Insurance company Chubb (CB) lowered its full-year operating income per-share guidance to a range of $5.10 to $5.20 from the previous range of $5.55 to $5.85 after reporting that its third-quarter operating income per share declined to 88 cents from $1.69 last year.

text: Posted Online: April 25, 2013, 2:03 pm At 77, director Friedkin remains direct to a fault Comment on this story By Christopher Borrelli Photo: Film director William Friedkin, 77, has a new memoir about his career in the business. CHICAGO -- William Friedkin, the director of "The French Connection" and "The Exorcist," a pair of acclaimed Tracy Letts adaptations ("Bug" and "Killer Joe") and author of "The Friedkin Connection," a new memoir about his 50-plus-year filmmaking career, answered the door of his hotel room. He stepped aside to let me in, looking disappointed and resigned. He wore large, 1970s-style eyeglasses, sneakers, black socks and a black shirt. He tugged his chinos high above his waist. This is not much bigger than the one-room apartment that he grew up in Chicago, he said. He comes to town a few times a year, he explained, visits with relatives and friends. His wife, former Paramount Pictures CEO Sherry Lansing, grew up in the South Shore neighborhood (and recently donated $5 million to the University of Chicago's Laboratory Schools in Hyde Park, from which she graduated in 1962). Though he's 77 now and lives with Lansing in Bel Air, Calif., Friedkin still retains some of the brusque, restless and confrontational directness that made him, along with Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and a handful of others, synonymous with filmmaking in the early 1970s. Indeed, his book -- which he wrote without the help of diaries, because, look, he never kept diaries, he said -- is a lot like him: somewhat lyrical ("My world always ended at the shore of the frozen Great Lake," he writes, "watching the ice floes, jagged pieces of a big white puzzle breaking in the sun"), somewhat guarded personally ("This is a professional memoir," he told me, "Frank Langella can write a book about all the men and women he had sex with, but I wouldn't do anything like that") and generally unwilling to sugarcoat stuff. When I asked if he felt revived -- with back-to-back critical successes in "Bug" (2006) and "Killer Joe" (2011) after decades of being written off, with a successful side career as a director of opera -- he said: "I don't know what you are talking about. I feel revived because I took a shower! Look, after 'The Exorcist,' which was 40 years ago, I didn't make a film for four years. "There was nothing I was interested in. I started to look after my personal life. Remember, I was hands-on -- with 'The Exorcist' I supervised subtitles, dubbing in different languages. I contacted projectionists at the 26 theaters it was showing, two or three times a week, for six months! If they told me the brightness was on 15 I'd say, 'Make it 16 or I pull the print. And what's the sound at?' If they said 12, I'd say, 'It's 15!' They'd say they had complaints that the film was loud. I'd say, 'Make it 15 or I pull your print!'" I asked him about Chicago playwright Letts, and how their relationship started, why they've become a good fit. "What? It's not something that can be easily framed," he said. "We both find the same things disturbing, humorous, chilling. We share a worldview. We see dark and light in the same person. That's why I am so out of touch with today's filmmakers. I don't believe in pure heroes or pure villains. Did you read my book?"I assured him I had."It's all there." I asked about his rarely-seen documentaries, which started when he was working at WGN-TV. He said that live TV was "wrapping up about the time I started, especially in Chicago. I might have stayed in Chicago the rest of my life if there were more to do, but TV was getting syndicated, movies in the afternoon. I saw it was time to move on, and then was offered a job at a documentary company in California." I asked if he felt confident. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about," he said. "You're never confident! Ask an artist if they feel more confident now than three years ago. None of it is ever easy! I don't know what you mean?!" But he said he wished he had been a movie director in the Hollywood studio system of the 1940s and '50s, "making MGM musicals, 'Singin' in the Rain,' 'An American in Paris' -- by the time I got to be a filmmaker, there was no one writing songs like that, no one dancing like that, it was less innocent. So I made the films that were available at that time. But if I had been in the studio system I would have made more movies and been a better director. The more you do it, the more you learn, and every time now, you're starting over. Then, they worked with the same crews, now you're assembling everyone from scratch, every few years, if you can." I said he would have to be at the movie theater soon but joked that I would love to hear some of the horror stories from the 1970s -- which was not the right thing to say to William Friedkin. "What?" In the book, I said, he mentions some people found him difficult to work with."Give me a quote -- you're pulling things out of thin air." Isaid I could not recall an exact quote from his 500-page book -- which, I see now, does indeed have chapters titled "Hubris" and "An Uphill Climb to the Bottom," admits to directorial arrogance and alienating studios at times, makes references to slapping actors, describes in harrowing detail how he shot the famous chase sequence in "The French Connection" without permits and includes the line "I thought I was bulletproof." It also -- Friedkin spares himself little embarrassment -- has the filmmaker failing to appreciate "Jaws" and telling Coppola that he just didn't get George Lucas' thing with "Star Wars." "Am I difficult?" Friedkin asked me. "How can I respond to that? Whatever I said in the book, I meant. If I said I was difficult I said why and when and where, and that I was certainly not always (difficult), not every day. But I am happy to respond either now or later to a specific thing, but don't expect me to me make up stuff. I don't know what you're talking about! I was very self-critical in this book but I don't take all the praise or all the blame, and not everyone would say that about me, that I was difficult, not everyone." We drove to the Muvico Theaters Rosemont 18. Mike Kerz, the theater's event manager, looking very nervous and very polite, welcomed us. "Hello, Mr. Friedkin, what an honor," he said, assuring Friedkin, now as pleasant and cheerful as the freshly exorcised little girl in "The Exorcist," that he had spent two days assembling this new print of "Sorcerer," which was wonderful."Great news!" Friedkin said. "Give me five!" He gave him five. An old man stepped up.Friedkin's eyes went wide."Yeah!" the man screamed. They hugged, kissed, embraced. He was Morry Loed. He used to be an actor for Friedkin; he brought a playbill of a stage production that Friedkin wrote and directed ages ago, at a theater on 53rd Street. They hadn't seen each other in 40 years. He told Friedkin he was 84, and back when Friedkin told him he was moving to Hollywood, he didn't believe it. Friedkin laughed and asked what Loed is doing now. "Ah, well I'm retired now, of course," Loed said."Well, and I'm not," Friedkin said. "I am never (expletive) retiring. Never!"
