The Test of Our Times: America Under Siege... and How We Can Be Safe Againby Tom Ridge
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When our nation called, Tom Ridge answered. Appointed by the President to head up domestic security, Ridge established the Department of Homeland Security. In this probing and surefooted memoir, Ridge takes us through the challenges he and his new department faced, including Anthrax scares and reports (both real and false alarms) of new Al-Qaeda operations sprouting up in the United States.
A "law and order" Republican who was on the shortlist to be John McCains running mate in 2008, Ridge writes with refreshing candor on both the successes and missteps of the DHS. He details the obstacles faced in his new post—often within the administration itself—as well as the failures of Congress to provide for critical homeland security needs, and the irresponsible use of terrorism by both parties to curry favors with voters. Ridge also reveals:
• How the DHS was pressured to connect homeland security to the international "war on terror"
• How Ridge effectively thwarted a plan to raise the national security alert just before the 2004 Election
• How Ridge had pushed for a plan (defeated because of turf wars) to integrate DHS and FEMA disaster management in New Orleans and other areas before Hurricane Katrina
Finally, Ridge offers a prescriptive look to the future, advocating ways that America may reaffirm its safety—including his provocative support for a national ID card program and for comprehensive immigration reform—without sacrificing personal liberty.
Television captures every word and every expression. I was reasonable to think that our enemies would look for any sign of weakness in the person who in a few days would be responsible for protecting America against them. At that moment, I experienced a royal flush of emotion—after all, I was leaving the state I loved, a loyal staff, many friendships developed over a lifetime, the frustration of work unfinished, to head into the unknown and the undoable. In normal times, I might have shed a tear at such thoughts. But I was determined not to do so as I said my farewell. If I needed any reminding, I glanced down at the note I had written for counsel.
"The bastards are watching."
We can never guarantee we will be free from another attack. We must also understand that every day thousands and thousands of our fellow citizens work here and abroad to take us to a new level of readiness and security. For in the end, Americans do not live in fear. We live in freedom. And we will let no one take that freedom away.
—Tom Ridge, from THE TEST OF OUR TIMES
IN THE HARROWING DAYS AFTER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, the President of the United States reached out to one man to help guide the nation in its quest to shore up domestic security. In this candid and compelling memoir, Tom Ridge describes the whirlwind series of events that took him from the state capital of Pennsylvania, into the fray of Washington, D.C., and onto the world stage as a new leader in the fight against international terrorism.
A Washington outsider, Ridge went above and beyond in his new post, identifying the need to integrate response teams on a wide-reaching scale and leading the nations ambitious initiative of establishing a new Cabinet department, the Department of Homeland Security. The author recounts how the new departments unsung heroes, brought together under great duress, succeeded against difficult odds and navigated the politics of terrorism.
Perhaps most importantly, Ridge offers a prescriptive look to the future with provocative ideas such as a national ID card and the use of biometrics to track not just who enters the United States but also how long they are here. Tom Ridge simply tells it like it is, offering a refreshingly honest assessment of the state of homeland security today—and what it needs to be tomorrow.

"We went to celebrate my 60th birthday, there were 6 adults, 1 teenagers, a 10 year old an 8 and 7 year old. We all had a great time!! It was wonderful that my husband and I had the master on the first flood, the adults had their own bedrooms with baths and the kids loved the 3rd floor and the beds in the closets!! The kids thought the beds in the closet were so cool!! Walked to the beach everyday, it was one of the best section of public beaches. There were so many places close by to go to, to eat, Pier Park and shopping! The pool was a big plus because when grandpa and I didn't feel like going anywhere we relaxed out in the pool!!

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - The eight players vying for the five spots in the St. Louis Cardinals' starting rotation haven't seen all that many spring trainings.
The inexperience occurred to manager Mike Matheny on Wednesday, reporting day for Cardinals pitchers and catchers.
"We put guys in groups today and it's amazing," said Matheny, who begins his third year as manager. "Some of the guys we have as leaders of the group don't have a whole lot of experience …Typically when we start putting those groups together you have guys with six, seven, eight years of service that are out trying to lead a group, but we've got some younger players and I know they'll be ready for it."
At 32, Adam Wainwright is the lone starter older than 27 for the Cardinals, who aim to return to the World Series for the third time in four years. After posting a 19-9 record with a 2.94 ERA and finishing second in the Cy Young voting in 2013, Wainwright is the only starter to know his slot in the rotation - the top.
Like nearly all of the Cardinals' pitchers, Wainwright arrived in Jupiter several days ago. He threw off the mound Tuesday. On Wednesday, he pulled into the parking lot with fellow starter Shelby Miller in the passenger seat. Not scheduled to throw, Wainwright popped out of the pickup truck wearing golf attire, walked over to back field where several dozen players were loosening up and announced he was officially reporting to camp. He then wrapped his arms around Matheny.
"He's a hugger," Matheny said with a laugh.
Wainwright and Miller then jumped back in the truck and left the parking lot.
"I kind of thought they would take a complete day off, which typically guys do the day before you get going - to just shut it down completely," Matheny said. "There's nothing wrong with spending a little time with family or getting a couple swings in on your golf game."
For youngsters Miller, 23, and Michael Wacha, 22, this is the first spring where they are expected to emerge as members of the starting rotation. Miller earned the Cardinals' final rotation spot coming out of Jupiter last season, then went 15-9 with a 3.06 ERA.
A late season call-up in 2013, Wacha became a postseason sensation, winning four of his five starts and striking out 33 in 30 2/3 innings.
"Today is just report day - get all your stuff in the locker, make sure everything fits," said Wacha, who arrived Saturday. "I guess the real fun starts tomorrow, early in the morning."
Jaime Garcia, 27, reported to Jupiter early in an effort to rebound from the shoulder surgery that cut his 2013 season short.
"I think he obviously adds a pretty strong left handed component to us," Matheny said. "I'm excited to hear he is feeling as good as he is and he's excited about going out and competing and throwing his hat in the ring here and figuring out how it's all going to play out."
Lance Lynn, 26, moved into the rotation shortly after the start of the 2012 season. An All-Star in 2012, Lynn won at least 15 games in each of the past two seasons and surpassed the 200 inning mark last season. Joe Kelly, 24, Tyler Lyons, 25, and Carlos Martinez, 22, will also attempt to show they belong.
Position players aren't scheduled to report until Feb. 17, but a dozen or so have already arrived, including Matt Holliday, Matt Carpenter, Matt Adams and top outfield prospect Oscar Taveras, who ran on his surgically repaired ankle Wednesday.

Autoflowering Seeds
Autoflowering seeds provide a unique opportunity for cannabis growers as it is the plant itself that dictates the flowering time, rather than the person growing it.
To make normal, non autoflowering regular or feminised cannabis plant flower, the weed grower needs to restrict the amount of light the plants receive in order to begin the flowering stage. This often means creating separate grow rooms for different plants, manually changing the light times and ensuring you keep a close eye on which plant is in which phase. But with autoflowering cannabis seeds you can do away with all that. The plant will flower when it wants to rather than when you tell it to, so you don't have to worry.
Autoflowering strains are also usually faster growing than other varieties of marijuana seeds, with our fastest Autoflowering seeds blooming in just 35 days. And when flowering times are earlier and growth is faster, multiple harvests in the same year become much easier.

Furthermore, autoflowering cannabis seeds are also usually smaller than the standard plant, which means they can be grown practically anywhere and can be more discrete - ideal for anyone who doesn't want the world to know they are growing cannabis.
And autoflowerers can also be far more resistant to the common mould and mildew problems than with other cannabis plants, making them ideal for the new grower.
We stock a full range of autoflowering cannabis seeds available to buy from every major marijuana breeder and you can find them all on this one page. Check out your favourite AK47 varieties, which offer the usual strength and potency with all the advantages of autoflowering seeds. Or how about experimenting with a Dinafem Haze automatic, one of our most popular types of autoflowering cannabis seeds and still one of the best.

[0001] This application claims priority of U.S. provisional patent application Serial No. 60/318,588 having a filing date of Sep. 10, 2001 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to sign technology, and more specifically backlit visual displays which utilize unique compositions of inks and diffuser materials to distort the light source while providing sufficient illumination to display a sign or image.
[0003] The use of signs to display information, instructions, and advertisements are well known and are typically constructed by applying some form of ink, paint, or other material to a substrate backing material to identify lettering, graphics, directions, or other useful information. For nighttime applications, backlit signs have been provided which utilize a light source to illuminate a message or information to enhance the messages and desired sign information. These backlit signs are especially useful during low light conditions, although they are also used during daylight hours to enhance the sign image. One type of backlit sign commonly utilizes a light emitting diode (LED) source which provides light through one of a series of substrates or ink materials to illuminate an image or a message. One significant problem, however has been the inability of manufacturers and sign makers to create a sign which illuminates a message or other information, but which does not allow the light source to be seen by a viewer. Thus, often a "hot spot" of light can be seen which identifies the individual LEDs or other illuminating source, and which significantly distorts the image which is meant to be conveyed by the sign maker. Thus, there is a significant need in the art to provide a novel backlit sign which is capable of illuminating an image or message, but which obscures the light source which is positioned behind the sign or image. It is thus one aspect of the present invention to address this problem and to provide a method and apparatus which provides an improved backlit sign as set forth hereinbelow.
[0004] It is thus one aspect of the present invention to provide a backlit sign manufacturing process and apparatus which prominently displays an image or information in an illuminated state, while not identifying the source of light which is projecting from a rearward portion of the sign. In one embodiment of the present invention, a process and composition is provided which includes utilizing a plurality of different inks and films applied to a substrate and which further includes a novel diffuser incorporating numerous types of inks which allow an image to be illuminated without identifying the light source. Thus, the present invention maybe utilized for any printed image applied on clear or translucent materials such as polycarbonates which are backlit by a light source and that offer some diffusion or moderation of light.
[0005] It is another aspect of the present invention to utilize the diffusion inks and compositions in non-signage applications, such as overhead light sources, traffic lights, or on/off indicator lights which do not have any specific lettering or graphics displayed. Thus, the present invention could be used to obscure the bulbs in overhead flourescent light applications (or other light sources) or may be used in applications where no specific graphics are illuminated, i.e., such as an on/off indicator for a gasoline pump.
[0006] It is yet another aspect of the present invention to provide a cost effective method for manufacturing a backlit light source which utilizes conventional materials and inks which are applied on one or more substrates, and which allow for the illumination of signs even in daylight conditions to indicate an "on/off" source for users, such as signs used at gasoline stations and fast food drive through restaurants. As discussed hereinbelow, this result is obtained by utilizing a novel ink diffusion formulation which is applied with consideration of the thickness of materials, the color and image being backlit, the distance between the LEDs and the graphic panel, the color and strength of LEDs associated with the backlit sign, and other factors related thereto. Thus, for different applications and types of backlit signs, the type of diffuser material, LEDs, and other materials may vary as appreciated by one skilled in the art.
[0007] Thus, in one aspect of the present invention a backlit sign is provided for illuminating an image, and comprises:
[0008] a substrate layer having a front side and a backside;
[0009] a background ink layer applied to said backside of said substrate having at least one distinct color;
[0010] at least one additional ink layer applied to said background ink to create an image;
[0011] a diffuser layer applied to said at least one additional ink and comprising:
[0012] a) an opaque white gloss vinyl ink having a percentage by weight of between about 20%-30%;
[0013] b) a clear mixing gloss vinyl ink having a percentage by weight of between 50%-60%;
[0014] c) a matte additive ink in a percentage by weight of between about 15%-20%; and
[0015] a light source provided behind said diffuser layer.
[0016] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the diffuser may be formulated without utilizing the matte additive inks.
[0017]FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of an embodiment of the present invention showing a backlit sign;
[0018]FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of a portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
[0019]FIG. 3 is a rear elevation view of a portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
[0020]FIG. 4 is a exploded perspective view of a portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1; and
[0021]FIG. 5 is a cross sectioned bottom plan view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4.
[0022] Referring now to the drawings, FIGS. 1-5 show one embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, these figures depict the backlit portion of a sign and the preferred layers of substrates and inks required to achieve the light distorting effect.
[0023] Referring now to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention is shown herein. The embodiment illustrated incorporates the teachings of the invention into the sign 2, which contains text 5 and an image 7. For example, the "Place Speedpass HERE" and "Speedpass™" 5 with the associated illuminated tiger image 7 may be used at a gasoline station or in other applications where illumination is required behind an image 7 to provide instructions and/or other information, or to indicate, for example when a gas pump is operational. The sign 2 shown is only one example of any number of types of signs and images which may utilize the present invention.
[0024] Referring now to FIGS. 2-5, an example of the image 7 portion of an entire sign 2 is shown herein. The image 7 is constructed such that a light source is obscured. Various layers are stacked in order to achieve this effect. As a result, the front and the rear of the image 7 will have different appearances as shown in FIG. 3, which depicts a real image of the sign shown in FIG. 2.
[0025] Referring now to FIG. 3, a front exploded view of the present invention is provided, and which depicts the various layers and substrates required to create a sign of the present invention. Initially, a substrate 8 is laid down which will provide a canvas for the sign's text 5 and images 7 and will also protect the image 7 when finished. In one embodiment, the substrate is made of pressure sensitive vinyl, liquid vinyl, self-cling vinyl, surface-treated polyester, polycarbonate, or a acrylic, or similar material, preferably Makrofol EPC 0.015 to 0.020 inches thick. A background color 9A is applied to the substrate. In one embodiment, the background color 9A is a dark blue high gloss, flexible ink sold by Coates™ as a color in the C99 series. The background color 9A is applied with a mesh of 255 openings/in2 and a tension of 14-21 newtons, with regard to the screen used in the image manufacturing process. An additional ink series color combination 9B, such as the orange, may be utilized to create the image 7 and/or text. In one embodiment, the image 7 is created by a four-color process that includes the application of at least Coates™ C99/HG with a mesh of 255 openings/in2 and a tension of 14-21 newtons, and Nazdar™ 9700 with a mesh of 355 openings/in2 and a tension of 20-22 newtons. After the surface 9 is applied a visual inspection for anomalies and pinholes may be performed.
[0026] Numerous inks and the materials associated with the background 9A and the image 9B can be used. For example, END 7190, END 7248, END 7249, which are specific color indicators used in this example by Marconi Commerce Systems of Greensboro, N.C., and which identify specific tones and colors used to make various signs and graphic displays. As appreciated by one skilled in the art, the number of colors and inks utilized in any given backlit sign are essentially limitless and can be used in any combination as necessary to produce the desired backlit sign or display.
[0027] Next, another layer 11 of gloss vinyl ink is then provided on top of the previously painted surface 9, which includes in one embodiment a white ink such as Coates™ C99 11A. Preferably, this layer is applied with a mesh of 255 openings/in2 and at a tension of 14-21 newtons. This layer 11 may also include additional inked portions 11B which match areas of the image 7 & 9B in order to add color or contrast to the final product. After the surface 11 is applied a visual inspection for anomalies and pinholes may be performed.
[0028] Subsequently, an additional layer 12 that acts to prevent unwanted light from emanating from the back is applied. In one embodiment, this opaquing layer 12 consist at least of a mixture of Coates™ Series C99 inks such as CRES-Lite #200, ET-10, and a viscosity reducer S103 (opaque white ink), applied with a mesh of 255 openings/in2 and at a tension of 14-21 newtons. This layer 12 may also include and additional portions 12B which match areas of the image 7, 9B, & 11B in order to add color or contrast to the final product. Furthermore, an additional opaque layer of ink 13 which is merely the application of a second coat as identified herein, can be added to cover pinholes.
[0029] Referring again to FIG. 4, a diffuser layer 14, which disperses the light source in order to avoid "hot spots", is now applied on top of the opaquing layer 12 or 13. In one embodiment, the diffusing layer 14 consists of a mixture of Coates™ Series C99, specifically S199 (a clear mixing agent), S103 (white opaque), and MAT-190 (matte additive), and is applied with a mesh of 255 holes/in2 at a tension of 14-21 newtons. Alternatively, the matte additive can be omitted. After application, the diffusing layer may be inspected to ensure that the light sources are sufficiently dispersed. Preferably, no pinholes should be present and a photometer reading of 1050-1200 lumins should be read. It should be understood that the diffusing layer is applied between the image 7 and the light source 18, regardless of the intervening layers present. Alternatively, the diffusing layer 14 can be applied to another material, preferably silk screen, and then placed between the image 7 and the light source 18.
[0030] To create a sufficiently backlit sign which is capable of brightly illuminating an image 7 or sign 2, yet which diffuses the illuminating source to such a degree that the LED or other light source 18 is not visible from the viewing front, a specific and novel type of diffuser technique and method must be utilized. Thus, in one particular embodiment of the present invention Coates™ C99-S199, C99-S103, and Mat-190 inks are applied in the weight percentages as identified herein to formulate the composition of the diffuser 14. More specifically, the C99-S103 is a gloss vinyl ink which is an opaque white color while the C99-S199 is a gloss vinyl ink which has a clear color, while the Mat-190 is a matte additive used for mixing purposes. In one embodiment of the present invention, the C99-S199 is used in a percentage of between about 50% and 60%, and preferably 56%, the C99-S103 is used in a percentage of between about 20% and 30% and preferably 24%, while the matte additive Mat-190 is used in a range of between 10% and 25%, and preferably 20% for the application shown in the attached figures. Alternatively, it has been found that in one embodiment an adequate diffuser 14 can be formulated by entirely eliminating the Mat-190, and utilizing the S199 in a percentage of about 65%, and the S103 in a percentage of about 35%. Variations in the compositions of ink and weight percentages may be substituted as appreciated by one skilled in the art. The combination is preferably mixed inward for 15 minutes and then mixed outward for 15 minutes at a maximum blend speed of 10 using an M&R Turnabout D/C high speed mixer.
[0031] In order to further describe and enable one to construct this embodiment of the present invention the following table is provided.

Women's Lacrosse Tops UNC, 9-5
March 5, 2004
CHAPEL HILL -- Stephanie Walker had two goals and one assist as fourth-ranked Loyola defeated No. 13 North Carolina, 9-5, in college women's lacrosse action on Friday afternoon from Henry Stadium. The Greyhounds (3-0) raced out to a 6-0 lead and held off a second-half rally by the Tar Heels (2-1) to earn the victory.
Loyola jumped out to a quick start, grabbing a 6-0 lead in the first 13 minutes of the game. Shuck scored two of those goals for the Greyhounds. The Tar Heels responded with goals by Ames and Jess Allen to cut the lead to 6-2 with 13:29 left in the first period. Neither team scored after that point in the first half.
In the second half, the Greyhounds scored two goals in the first five minutes to boost their lead back to six goals at 8-2. Renzi and McCarthy then scored to give the Tar Heels a glimmer of hope at 8-4, but Shacklock responded with a goal to put Loyola back up 9-4 and end the UNC momentum. Ames scored a late goal for the Tar Heels.
Walker, Talia Shacklock and Rachel Shuck each had two goals for Loyola. Beth Ames led Carolina with two goals while three other Tar Heels had single goal games.
Kim Lawton made six saves in the first half for Loyola and Cindy Nicolaus stopped 11 UNC shots in the second half.
Loyola enjoyed an 11-5 edge in draw controls in the game.
The Greyhounds will host No. 1 Princeton at home on Sunday, March 7th. Loyola College will renaming Curley Field in honor of their late coach Diane Geppi-Aikens prior to the game.

From the library of George M Foster. 1st edition.
The Zapotecs were once one of the most dominant ethnic groups in the region now known as Oaxaca. The early Zapotecs were a sedentary group, relying mostly on agricultural means to survive. They worshipped a pantheon of gods, the foremost of which was Cosijo, the rain god, symbolized by the jaguar and the snake, symbols common in Mesoamerican cultures. Religious rites sometimes included human sacrifice. Aside from the gods, Zapotecs also worshipped their ancestors and emphasized the concept of death. The splendid city of Monte Alban was the Zapotecs' main cultural center, the place in which their rich and fascinating civilization flourished for about 2,000 years. Today, Monte Alban is considered one of the most majestic cultural centers in all of Middle America. Monte Alban is a complex array of pyramids and platforms built on a mountain range overlooking the valleys. It was built in honor of the Zapotec gods and in celebration of the military victories of the Zapotec people. By 700 A.D., Monte Alban had become the capital of the Zapotec land and home to some 250,000 people. The Zapotecs struggled against another mighty group, the Mixtecs, for control over their vast lands. By the 15th century, both these groups faced another worthy adversary, the Aztecs, who were trying to dominate the trade routes of Chiapas and Guatemala. The Zapotecs managed to maintain political autonomy, thanks mostly to their greatest king, Cosijoeza. When the Spanish arrived, however, the whole region became subject to the their forces Today, the Zapotecs are composed mostly of two groups, those in the Southern mountains, and those residing in the southern half of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Many elements of Zapotec culture are still ingrained in Oaxacan life, influencing customs, dress, songs, and literature.
George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in.
Foster's stamp on title and front wrapper, edge wear, spine sunned else a very good copy.

kale salad with pecorino and walnuts
As someone who has said things like "the world would be a better place if we could all stop pretending that kale tastes good" (on p. 67, in fact) and who is unwaveringly certain that the last thing the internet needs is another kale salad, I am not even sure what I'm doing here. Am I on the wrong blog? But I can't help it. I had an unforgettable kale salad last weekend and seeing as my life (and undoubtedly various legal statues) does not allow me to move into Barbuto (believe me, I'm considering it as I type… would they notice? I've always wanted more windows…), I had to attempt to riff on it at home. And if I'm going to be making it at home, well, it seems rude to keep it from you. We have no cooking secrets here.

A board certified behavior analyst is responsible for creating plans to help children, teens, and adults with behavioral issues, mental health issues, and/or developmental disabilities. These analysts develop treatment plans with clients (and their loved ones, as needed); they then work with the patient to implement this plan, monitor clients' progress, and revise the plan as needed. This analyst also performs behavioral assessments and creates programming for their organization.Read More...
A board certified behavior analyst working a facility serving special-needs clients creates an overarching plan for their organization. At live-in facilities, they help determine goals and plans related to living arrangements and resident care. They also help develop a skill plan laying out what skills should be taught to patients, in what order, and at what point in patients' development. To implement these plans, the board certified behavior analyst provides training to staff members and to caregivers. Further, the board certified behavior analyst may oversee the work of therapists treating the patients.
The board certified behavior analyst must have licensing in their field and (in some cases) by their state. A master's degree in behavior science or a related field from an accredited institution is required. Previous experience as a behavioral analyst is generally preferred.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Meeting and Exceeding Clients and Regulators' Expectations Although it can be difficult, there are ways for RIAs to meet or exceed client expectations, increase customer satisfaction, and help firms retain current clients and attract new ones.
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Securities and Exchange Commission will allow public companies to make significant announcements on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites provided they alert investors which sites they intend to use.
The decision announced Tuesday allows companies to use social media in place of more formal websites.
The question arose after Netflix Inc. CEO Reed Hastings said on his Facebook page in July that subscribers together watched more than 1 billion hours of video for the first time during June, the agency said.
An SEC rule requires that all investors receive significant company information at the same time. By allowing businesses to use more informal channels to share news with investors, the SEC is acknowledging the shift in technology that has made social media indispensable for the largest and most powerful corporations.
One key requirement is that companies alert investors in press releases or regulatory filings as to where they plan to disseminate information that could potentially affect the price of the company's stock.
Although Hastings didn't provide any further details, the statistic implied that the usage of Netflix's Internet video library had increased significantly since the company had last provided viewership numbers six months earlier. Analysts interpreted the new viewership numbers as a sign that Netflix either hit the top end of its second-quarter goal for streaming subscribers or exceeded it.
Netflix stock jumped from $70.45 at the time of Hastings' Facebook post to $81.72 at the close of the next trading day.
Neither Hastings nor Netflix had previously used Facebook to announce company information and they hadn't notified investors that Facebook might be used for that purpose, the SEC said Tuesday. The agency's enforcement division opened an inquiry but took no action against Hastings or Netflix nor alleged any wrongdoing.
Rather, the SEC decided to issue the guidance for all companies, saying they should take care to disseminate information through social media in a way that all people will have access to it.
Netflix said in a statement Tuesday, "We appreciate the SEC's careful consideration and resolution of this matter."

by Defoe, Daniel
Publisher:Everyman's Library
Published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has long been celebrated as the first great English novel. Based on the account of a shipwrecked sailor, it tells the story of one man rediscovering himself and the world in a solitude he thinks complete until his encounter with Man Friday.
Distinguished by its strong, pure style, and by a delight in factual precision, Robinson Crusoe is still the most compelling book we have from the Age of Exploration. The impact of Daniel Defoes prose on the development of English writing has often been compared to that of the King James Bible; and the power of this fable of human loneliness has been felt by readers of every age over the last three hundred years.
