Throughout the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl run, the team's fans held up signs reading things like, "Mickelson. Red Sox. Now it's our turn." in reference to some long-time losers who finally won a championship.
But does Phil Mickelson really belong on that list? Sure he was 0-for-forever in majors before breaking through at the Masters last year, but he's a proven winner on the PGA Tour.
As such, it was an ironic twist on Sunday, when the player Eagles' fans used as inspiration wiped the floor with the rest of the FBR Open field while Philly's football hopes faded in Jacksonville. The Weekly 18 begins with Mickelson and the tour's four other winners this season -- they've all got something in common.
1. Cream of the crop
Other sports don't work like this. In other sports, even the bottom-feeders play hard-to-get at the beginning of the season. In other sports, the first month of the season hardly sets the tone for what we'll see at the end. In other sports, the cream takes time to rise to the top.
Golf, and the PGA Tour specifically, are unlike other sports -- at least this year. We're five events into 2005 and all five winners who have punched tickets to Kapalua next year will be return visitors. Top-five players Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh have already been victorious, with the popular Stuart Appleby and Justin Leonard taking the other two events. That quintet is joined by perennial favorites Ernie Els, Jonathan Kaye, Charles Howell III, Scott McCarron and Stewart Cink in the top 10 on the money list.
Which is all great news for the tour.
Coming off a season in which no-names Andre Stolz, Vaughn Taylor and Ryan Palmer earned victories, the tour was in danger of becoming a free-for-all.
You know, On any given week ...
It's the same problem the NFL ran into a few years ago. Wanting a level playing field for all teams, perhaps the league got more parity than it had bargained for, with the Super Bowl champ becoming entirely unpredictable.
The PGA Tour is now more MLB than NFL, with some definite haves and have-nots. The top players are thinking in terms of wins. The have-nots? They're just trying to turn a profit.
That's not to say there won't be some surprises on tour this year. They just haven't happened yet. And when they do, you can bet they'll be hard-earned victories.
With the top players at the top of their games, 2005 could go down as the Season of Champions.
2. Mr. 58?
He may not be the best golfer in the world, but nobody can go low like Mickelson. At the FBR, Phil shot a second-round 60 just months after firing a 59 to win the unofficial Grand Slam of Golf. What's next? Golf purists, cover your eyes -- Mickelson could shoot a 58 one of these days. After all, it's been said (by Mickelson himself) that breaking the 60 barrier is tougher mentally than physically. Now that he's done it once in competitive play, don't be surprised to see the Masters champ aim for the record books someday soon.
3. Super Sunday?
It's time for the FBR to steal a page out of the Deutsche Bank Championship's manual. Traditionally played Super Bowl week, the FBR falls victim to a lack of media and fan focus on anything but the big game, with the final putt dropping not long before kickoff. Our solution? Move the tournament to a Friday through Monday format, like the Deutsche Bank which takes advantage of the long Labor Day weekend to cash in on its non-traditional finish. A Monday final round would give the FBR the sports spotlight for a day and be an obvious cure to the post-Super Bowl blues.
4. Na Na Na Na, hey hey hey ...
Hello! Last season Kevin Na was the youngest player on tour. This year, well, he's still the youngest. But at 21, Na is now a seasoned veteran and his maturity is starting to show in his play. The co-second round leader at the FBR, he finished T-2 and earned some valuable experience playing alongside Phil Mickelson for 36 holes during the weekend.
5. Adding result to injury
Na's play this week was especially impressive considering the setbacks he has incurred in recent weeks. Hampered by a wrist injury at the beginning of the season, Na was involved in an automobile accident after the first round of the Bob Hope Classic. The car was totaled (his manager was driving) and his mother fractured a vertebrae, but Na escaped basically unscathed.
6. Tiger needs cash
Anybody got an extra $313 they could loan Tiger Woods? It's not that the world's richest golfer needs to fill his wallet, but that's now the difference between Woods and leader Vijay Singh on the money list. With a T-11 finish at the FBR, Singh earned $100,100 to once again claim the top spot from Woods.
7. No Casey at the bat
The FBR seemed like the perfect place for Paul Casey to get back in touch with the American golf fans. In his adopted hometown of Scottsdale (like Mickelson, Casey attended Arizona State), Casey may have been given the benefit of the doubt by the raucous galleries. In turn, this could have set the tone for his season; if he doesn't get booed at the FBR, that could carry over to the next week and the week after that, until his somewhat anti-American comments are all but forgotten. Instead, Casey was a no-show this week, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of fans who may have forgiven him.
8. Beemer running on empty
Whatever happened to Rich Beem? The 2002 PGA Championship winner finished last in the field at the FBR with scores of 83-76 that included a quadruple-bogey, a triple-bogey, two double-bogeys and only two birdies in 36 holes. After starting the season with a T-38 at the Sony Open, Beem has two missed cuts and a WD to his record. That's coming off a season in which he made the cut in only 14 of 28 starts and failed to register a top-25 finish all year.
9. Black-balled
It's been 23 years since Jerry Pate won the inaugural Players Championship using an orange ball. Until now, that was just about the last we've seen of the non-traditional golf ball. Then Cink, Leonard, K.J. Choi and Rory Sabbatini each walked up to the FBR's 16th tee and pulled out the new Nike One Black ball. Those four players (each of whom has a sponsorship deal with Nike Golf) played the black ball with gold and silver lettering each day, but only on the par-3 16th. As Cink said, "The first time you see that black ball up on the tee it looks a little weird, but I just told myself to trust my swing and hit a good shot." He played the hole in even-par for the week, making birdie, bogey and two pars using the ball.
10. Going deep
Rookie James Driscoll may have shot 81-75 at the FBR to miss the cut for the third time in four tour events this season, but he can take solace in the fact that his wind-aided 397-yard drive was the longest of the week. So far this season, that bomb trails only 400-yarders by Woods and Els at the Mercedes Championships.
11. Nationwide is on his side
After opening the season in Panama, the Nationwide Tour had the week off, giving its players plenty of time to think about things. Specifically, how the heck are we going to beat Bill Haas? The 22-year-old phenom used sponsor's exemptions on the PGA Tour in each of the last three weeks -- he was the only player in the FBR field to receive such an exemption -- and proved he's good enough to hang with the big boys. Prior to missing the cut in Scottsdale, Haas finished T-34 at the Bob Hope and T-18 at the Buick. The $92, 831 he's earned would place him in 77th on the money list if he was an official member of the tour. But alas, Haas has no status on tour and with only four sponsor's exemptions remaining, he's off to the Nationwide to work his way on full-time. Don't be surprised to see Haas pull off a battlefield promotion (three Nationwide wins) to the tour.
12. Easy Ryder?
Former European Ryder Cup captain Bernhard Langer announced this week that he will not continue in that position at The K Club in 2006, but rather will try to make the team as a player. And don't count him out. Langer was among the leaders at the FBR after a second-round 66 before falling to T-49. He finished fifth and T-23 in the previous two weeks. If and when Langer decides to play more Euro Tour events to boost his Ryder Cup points, expect him to fare well on the less-competitive tour.
13. Jack is back
Jack Nicklaus entered the Wendy's Champions Skins Game with the idea that his play would be a gauge for how often he'll compete this season. If that's true, based on his 11 skins (compared to five and two for young old-timers Craig Stadler and Tom Watson, respectively, and none for Arnold Palmer) and a career-high $340,000 payout, we may see plenty of Jack in 2005.
14. Keep on Tryon
You know the story of Ty Tryon. Turned pro before finishing high school. Earned a PGA Tour card at 17. Never hit the big time. Fell flat on his face. Or did he? This week Tryon won his first career professional tournament in the NGA/Hooters Tour winter series. Only 20, he's already been through the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and Canadian Tour, as well as other worldwide tours, but still has plenty of time to become the golfer he seemed destined to be only a few years ago.
15. Royal pain
Separated by thousands of miles, Australia's Royal Melbourne Golf Club and North Carolina's Pinehurst No. 2 seemingly have very little in common. Not so, as many international players who competed in this week's Heineken Classic can attest to. Those players found plenty of plateau greens surrounded by swales of short rough on the Royal Melbourne course. Among the clubs used from around the green were wedges, putters, fairway woods and hybrid clubs. It was a good reminder that this year's U.S. Open champ is going to have to be pretty creative.
16. Pulling an all-nighter
For all those insomniacs, there's nothing like live golf in the wee hours of the morning to help you through the night. Craig Parry defeated Nick O'Hern on the fourth playoff hole of the Heineken at about 4:30 a.m. ET. In case you missed it -- and you should be kicking yourself if you did -- Parry's win was hardly the stuff of Doral last year. Rather than holing out for eagle, Parry made a 15-foot birdie putt to clinch the win.
17. Changing of the guard
Another week, another star is born on the European Tour. Even though he didn't come through with a victory like young Nick Dougherty at the Caltex Masters a week earlier, 23-year-old Australian Jarrod Lyle hung with the likes of eventual champ Parry and three-time defending champ Els at the Heineken. You may recall that Dougherty turned away proven winners Colin Montgomerie and Thomas Bjorn, meaning the young guns across the pond aren't backing down to the big names.
18. Quote of the week
"This is judgment day at this hole."
-- unidentified fan on the TPC of Scottsdale's rowdy 16th hole

LAWRENCE - Lawrence police say a sexual assault last week may be connected to several other armed sex crimes in the city since 2004.
In the most recent attack, police said today that a 19-year-old woman was attacked by an unidentified man who entered her home about 2 a.m. on Dec. 1.
The Lawrence Journal-World reported today that police said the intruder was armed with a weapon in all five attacks. Investigators
said two attacks took place in 2004, one happened in 2006 and the
fourth was last March.
The suspect is described as a white man between 25 and 40 years
old, 5-foot-9 to 6-feet tall, with a slim build.
Police said anyone with information about the sexual attacks is
asked to call Lawrence Police, 830-7430 or Douglas County
Crimestoppers at 843-8477 (TIPS)

I propose that together, we support the call issued by the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation in Georgetown this past weekend. As Fr. David Petras, who was one of the Consultants, already knows, the Consultation called for all Churches to return to a strictly astronomical observance of the Nicene decree for the dating of the Paschal celebration. We should, together, support this effort. It is bad enough that the Christian community is divided in the celebration of Easter. It is a far worse scandal that the Byzantine Christian community does not say Christos Voskrese on the same day. Next year we celebrate Pascha on the same day. I hope that this unified celebration continues without interruption.

Delicious. I happen to have some roasted red peppers in the freezer, so used them. I believe I'll add extra garlic next time. :)
The combination of flavor and ease of preparation makes this an easy 5 star meal. 13 yr old son, who doesn't really care for cooked spinach complained about how much this made him drool.
This one goes on the rotation.

The reality of reality police television shows is that police
don't get paid for their appearances and such shows help
build ''public trust and confidence'', a spokeswoman says.
• Haven't I seen you
Figures released to the Otago Daily Times reveal
police officers were involved in 91 separate television
programmes between 2009 and 2014.
Those shows include Police Ten 7 (240 episodes),
Dog Squad (93), Motorway Patrol (60 episodes),
Road Cops (45 episodes) and Water Patrol (39

Police public affairs deputy chief executive Karen Jones said
''many programmes have traditionally used an inform, educate

''However, police are increasingly working with production

Shows for 2014 include Nabbed (10 episodes), Women

What university major would prepare me for entrepreneurship better?
Hi. I'm currently a university student in Australia. I'm currently completing my commerce degree but I'm having trouble deciding which major would be most beneficial to me in the future. I'm torn between finance, management or marketing. I love them all. I was wondering which major would be most useful to be an entrepreneur. I'm leaning more towards marketing and management because they seem to be important in running your own business.
The best major for entrepreneurship is whatever you want to study most. That would be literature or fine arts if that's what you love. Education comes first, then business. Sounds like what you want to study is marketing, so do it. Study what you want and then let the career follow; don't study what you think makes a better career. People change careers three times in an average life, but you get to do education only once.

Guest: Walid Shoebat
Listen: MP3 | Real Audio | Windows Media | Order CD
Walid Shoebat was born in Bethlehem, Israel. As a young man he became a member of the PLO and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel. He was once imprisoned in Jerusalem for enticement of violence. After entering the U.S. he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization in Chicago. In 1993, Walid studied the Bible in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam and instead he converted to Christianity. Walid has authored several books including "Why We Want to Kill You", "Why I Left Jihad", "For God or For Tyranny" and "God's War on Terror"
Walid began by defining taqiyya which is the tactic of lying in order to further the cause of Islam. He noted that muruna, however, takes taqiyya a step further. It's a stealth strategy that sanctions all prohibitions within Islam, even blasphemous and violent ones.
Vic and Walid looked at examples of how this tactic of muruna has affected our nation's view of Islam. They include:
--Last year the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, told Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular.
--A devout Muslim, Mohamed Elibiary, has been named to the Homeland Security Advisory Council and has been given access to sensitive data.
--According to the Judicial Watch Blog, the FBI has destroyed instructional material that characterizes Muslims as prone to violence or terrorism. Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress that anti-Muslim instructional materials hurt the country's fight against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda.

By BAE 12 Public AffairsJune 28, 2012
FORT THANARAT, Thailand (June 25, 2012) -- Thailand and the United States, two strong and long-time allies, are developing a robust partnership to better respond to natural and man-made disasters. The Royal Thai Army (RTA) and United States Army Pacific (USARPAC) Bilateral Army Exercise 2012 (BAE 12) is a 45-day exercise.
BAE 12 provides an outstanding training venue for Army forces from the RTA, USARPAC, the Washington Army National Guard, the Guam Army National Guard, and the Center for Civil Military Relations.
A wide variety of challenging and diverse activities will be conducted to improve the capacity to quickly respond to internal and regional contingency missions.
General Daugherty from the Washington Army National Guard and Special Colonel Weerachan Jitkhantha from the Royal Thai Army spoke at the opening ceremony and stressed the importance of interoperability between the two armies in order to protect life, property, and expedite disaster recovery.
It's a real honor to run this exercise in partnership with our long time friends and allies stated Lieutenant Colonel Mike Ake, an operations officer at the combined Thai and American Exercise Support Group. "If our friends need help, we want to be one of the first ones on the ground -- in Washington we have our share of disaster with floods and earthquakes," said Ake.
Over the course of the exercise, the long time allies will exercise disaster relief staff planning procedures, conduct medical training, life saving and search and rescue events and also construct a District Community Center and Kindergarten in the rural underserved communities of Huay Plub and Nong Tray.
The Washington Army National Guard and the RTA Infantry Center are executing the events in and around Pranburi, Thailand.
"I know they [the Americans] worry about us," said Maj. Patriop Tayparsit of the Royal Thai Army, "but we worry about them too. We want to make sure they are getting everything they need while they're on the ground."
With a shared desire to train, prepare and learn from one another, it appears that the exercise is off to a good start. BAE 12 continues a valuable and long standing State Partnership Program that the Washington Army National Guard has with the Kingdom of Thailand.

Undergraduate Program
The core belief of STS studies is that science, technology, and society need to be understood as an integrated whole. The core philosophy of the STS undergraduate program is that an STS perspective needs to be integrated with the rest of the curriculum rather than being bracketed off as a separate entity.
Because of this philosophy, at the present we do not offer an independent major, but instead focus our undergraduate efforts on offering students a range of attractive classes (both free-standing and collaborative), a minor, a concentration, a joint major, and a second major.
The free-standing classes are intended to introduce students to the basic vocabulary and concepts of interdisciplinary STS studies, as well as to some of the fundamental disciplines that have been so important in developing STS studies. For example, we offer popular undergraduate classes in the history of science, the history of technology, and ethical issues raised by modern science and technology.
The STS Program also offers collaborative classes (sometimes joint-listed, sometimes not) that integrate an STS perspective with the subject matter featured by other departments at MIT. For example, we offer classes in collaboration with Physics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Examples of Science, Technology, and Society courses can be found on MIT OpenCourseWare.
Undergraduate Academic Officer
Professor Rosalind Williams
Room E51-278
If you are submitting a concentration proposal, you need to have an in-person meeting with Professor Williams. Office hours will be held Monday, Feb. 1 from 2-4pm and Thursday, Feb. 4 from 1-4pm. If you can't come in during these times, or the first week of classes has passed, please send an email to Professor Williams to up an appointment. Most appointments will need a few days' lead time to be arranged.
If you are making changes to your approved proposal form before submitting your completion, please send an email to Professor Williams about the change, and submit the change online.
If you are submitting a completion form for a concentration proposal that was approved and has no changes, just go ahead and submit your form online. If you are a final term senior, you should submit your completion form by Feb. 4 so Professor Williams has time to approve.

Do the residence halls remain open during holidays and breaks? Back to top.
The residence halls do not stay open during holidays and breaks. It is the residents' responsibility to know when the breaks/closing periods take place and to plan ahead to ensure that they have somewhere to stay off campus. Dates are sent to each student at the beginning of the academic year, please see the office with any questions.
Are the residence halls carpeted? Back to top.
O'Leary Hall is carpeted in the hallways and in some rooms. Rose William Hall has no carpeting in the hallways or rooms, as it offers a very clean tile look. Devine Hall is carpeted in the hallways and in certain rooms.
What is an RA? Back to top.
An RA (Resident Advisor) is a student staff person who works for the Office of Residence Life. The RAs are responsible for helping students with any issues they might encounter while in the residence halls. RAs help connect students with other students, campus resources, and the greater Elms College Community. In addition, RAs are responsible for enforcing college policy in the residence halls.
Are students required to live on campus? Back to top.
We do encourage all of our students to give living on campus a try, but it is not a requirement. Many of our students commute to the college each day.
Can I bring a microwave and refrigerator with me? Back to top.
You can bring a small refrigerator with you 3 cubic feet or less, but you cannot bring a microwave. Single and Double rooms can have 1 fridge, triple and quad rooms may have 2 (due to electrical limitations). Each residence hall has a microwave on each floor that students can use. To view a list of suggested items to bring and not bring, click here.
Is there a meal plan? Back to top.
Each resident on campus is required to carry the college's meal plan. The options are a 200 block meal plan, or an unlimited meal plan. For more information, please visit the dining services website.
What is the best way to receive mail and packages on campus? Back to top.
Each resident student is assigned a mailbox with a combination lock. For students to receive mail: have the sender address the mail to the college's main address (291 Springfield Street, Chicopee MA 01013), and include the student's name and mailbox number.
Should I bring my computer and are the rooms wired for computer connections? Back to top.
If you own a computer, it is a good idea to bring it to school with you. Students do not need to bring a computer with them, as the college does have computer labs on campus. Elms College is a wireless campus, so if you do bring a computer, you should make sure that it is wireless compatible.
Does the college provide me with a phone? Back to top.
The college does not provide students with a phone, nor is there the option to activate a phone jack in rooms.
Am I allowed to have guests in my room? Back to top.
You may have overnight guests with prior authorization from your roommate(s). Guests will not be allowed in a room unless all occupants in that room are in agreement. Residents must fill out a permission form with the office of Residence Life when they will be having overnight guests, residents may have a maximum of 8 overnight guest visits per semester. All guests are subject to college regulations and residence hall policies. Residents are responsible for the actions of their guest(s) and guests should be escorted at all times. If a student feels his or her roommate(s) are not abiding by this policy, it is his or her responsibility to notify a residence life staff member. Guests need to sign in at the front desk each time they visit, and also sign out when they leave.
Can I bring a car to campus? Back to top.
All resident students are allowed to have cars on campus as long as they have obtained the proper parking permit from the Department of Public Safety. Visit the campus map to view the parking lots available on campus.
Are there laundry facilities on campus? Back to top.
All three of our residence halls have washing machines and dryers. The cost is $1.50 for a washing machine and $1.50 for a dryer. If you experience an issue with a washer or dryer, please visit our Laundry Machine Work Order online form to submit a work request.
Am I allowed to have a pet in the residence halls? Back to top.
Students may have fish as pets with the consent of their roommate(s). Each room may have one 5-gallon aquarium. Students who have fish should arrange for someone off campus to care for them during holidays and breaks. No other pets are permitted. Animals are not permitted to visit in the residence halls, including interior and exterior hallways.
What are quiet hours? Back to top.
Quiet hours are in effect from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. on weeknights and 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, so you and your neighbors may study and sleep. In addition, 24 hour quiet hours go into effect the week before and the week of midterms and finals. Residents have many different schedules and lifestyles, but you will find life a lot easier if you respect each other's right to healthy habits. If other students in your hall are bothering you with noise, you have the right (at any time of day or night) to ask them to be quieter. If trouble persists, feel free to notify your RA, who has the option and authority to set disciplinary procedures in motion. Students are encouraged to keep the volume of their speakers or other devices at a reasonable level at all times, to be respectful of others who live in the building and on the floor.
Are there any storage facilities? Back to top.
There are no storage facilities on campus. Students are responsible for moving all furniture and other belongings at the end of the academic year. Students are charged a moving and disposal fee for any items that are left behind.
Can I bring my gaming system? Back to top.
Yes. Elms requires students to use the gaming wi-fi network to utilize these systems. For assistance, students can email the Technology Help email@example.com. As a reminder, the College takes no responsibility for loss of personal property, and we highly encourage doors to remain locked at all times.
How are roommates assigned? Back to top.
Each summer, first year students receive a roommate questionnaire. Based on the information from these questionnaires, the housing office does the best they can to match roommates based on similar preferred study times, majors, and academic and social interests. After the first year, residents go through the room selection process where they select their own roommate.
When can I change my room assignment? Back to top.
There is a freeze on room changes for the first two weeks of each semester. After that, residents can request a room change through the Office of Residence Life. Room changes are not guaranteed, and are only approved if attempts at mediation have failed. To request a change, please visit Elms Room Change and fill out the form.
What is the room selection process? Back to top.
Room selection is the process by which rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors pick their rooms and roommates for the following academic year. Each student in each class is issued a lottery number at random. That number indicates when you will pick your room. If you are a sophomore who has been issued number one, you are the first person in your class to pick a room.
What do I do if I lose my room key? Back to top.
If you lose your room key, you should report this information to the Office of Residence Life immediately. In most cases you will be charged a replacement fee for the key and an additional fee if the lock on your room needs to be changed. See your room and board contract for costs associated with key replacement.
Who do I call for help? Back to top.
If you are in need of emergency assistance, call 911. Campus Safety and Security can be reached at 413-265-2278 (24 hours per day). For assistance with noise concerns, or general Residence Hall issues, please call the RA on duty (number is listed in visible locations in your Residence Hall).

>> Correction: A stock split DOES NOT raise more money for the >> issuer of the stock. The price is>> adjusted for the additional shares outstanding after the >> split. The total capitalization does not change. Yes, you are correct. However, the price of most stockswill rise after a stock split is announced. (Though some do fall.) If a stock split had no (indirect) effect on the current stock price, I doubt anyone would really care about the next possible stock split. Kevin
The value of the shares after a stock split is an open market value...in other words the company gives you more shares and the open market puts the value on those shares...(Many tech investors on these boards are following Silicon Valley suppliers to the DVD industries such as cube and others (for second half '98), Microsoft enemies sunw and orcl, and Microsoft allies intc and perhaps small cap wavo.
My take on splits: Companies prefer to have more shares on the market. This helps to ensure a broader distribution in the marketplace and eventually less exposure to big holders bailing on the stock. Since stocks are generally traded at 1/8 increments. It also makes a growing company benefit more from an up tick in it's stock. For example a 1 point gain on a $50 share is 2% instead of 1% for a share of $100 stock. As a matter of preference, investorsare happier seeing larger percentage gains from the same nominal point increase. For the same reason, holders of call options would benefit but to a much larger degree. Suddenly their in-the-money call option becomes 2 options and would start earning $200 for every point increase instead of $100/pt. Also investors can start to see economies of scale when they hold large blocks of stock. Until recently it was always cheaper to buy and sell stocks in 100 share blocks. So an investor holding 50 share would welcome a split since it would help in reduce transaction costs should he decide to sell his shares. To a smaller extent splits help to generate a little more cash from small investors that would prefer to by 2 shares for $50 than 1 share for $100. It gives the illusion that you are getting more for your money.Since a split tends to speak to the health of a growing company, stocks tend to get a bump when splits are announced. But don't take my word for it. I'm new at this game.

Student Desk Chairs and Tablet Arms
A Chair with a Desk Arm is Perfect for Your Classroom or Music Room
Outfit your educational center with student desk chairs, and provide students with functional and comfortable seating arrangements! Ideal for classrooms, music rooms, and conference settings, a chair with a desk arm features a convenient, sturdy surface for note taking. Then, when the tablet is no longer needed, it easily flips up and can be folded behind the chair, so students can play an instrument or perform another task. Read more
Each student desk chair boasts an ideal seat-to-back angle for maximum comfort and support, which is beneficial to students remaining seated for extended periods of time. They're stackable, too, for space-efficient storage in classrooms or supply closets. These chairs also give you the option to use them on their own for concerts or with desks, and when you want to add the compatible tablet, it quickly transforms into a chair with a desk arm!

Heavenly worship is described as using incense in Revelation, chapter 5.
I...want... to be wrong.
What is the earliest evidence for incense being used in Christian worship? The earliest written evidence I have found is the Apostolic Constitutions which is dated after Nicea and the earliest archaeological evidence may be a reference one Orthodox speaker made to a censer found in a ante-Nicene church c. 250 AD although he did not give any details....

Your Top Three is a series here at Movies.com where we choose a topic and you give us your top three picks.
Currently Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues has a better Rotten Tomatoes score than the original. That's weird, because most reviews I've seen say it's not as good as the first one (I sort of agree but don't feel I can properly say so for a few years). It would be a big deal if the new sequel were actually better than Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, because it's quite rare we see a comedy sequel improve upon its precursor. It's rare enough we get a good comedy sequel at all.
Unless maybe we go back to the classics, but even then we saw dwindling quality in sequels to The Thin Man and Father of the Bride. Not terrible, but lesser. I haven't seen Harold Lloyd's sound-era sequel The Sin of Harold Diddlebock — in fact I only recently heard of it — but there's no way it's as good as the movie it follows, silent comedy classic The Freshman. Many old comedy franchises were basically just sitcoms before TV existed, and they were about as up and down as television comedy series would be.
I'm not sure if some comedy sequels should count. Gremlins 2: The New Batch, for instance, is a hilarious sequel to a movie that isn't quite a comedy. We may as well count Superman II in that case, as well as many modern superhero and action movies. Back to the Future Part II meanwhile is technically a comedy sequel, but we tend not to recognize it as such. And are Abbot and Costello movies connected in a way that qualifies them as sequels? Do animated films work? Do the Toy Story sequels count?
One thing I want to point out before getting to my selections is something interesting I just noticed. The Muppets movies have taken us to California and England and another was set on Christmas. Same with the Vacation movies. Why haven't they completely matched up? We obviously need a Vegas Muppets movie and a NYC Vacation movie.
My Top Three Favorite Comedy Sequels:
1. After the Thin Man
One of the few sequels to better the original, and in the case of The Thin Man, that wasn't an easy task. Yet the second pairing of William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles was a more straightforward detective story, which also added to the character development of this alcohol-loving couple based on a work by Dashiell Hammett. Plus it gave us one of James Stewart's first great appearances.
2. The Great Muppet Caper
I grew up favoring this second Muppet movie over the first, partly because I was oddly a humongous Charles Grodin fan as a young child (though that originated with the combo of this and the same year's The Incredible Shrinking Woman). I don't know that it tops The Muppet Movie as a whole, but it's also totally different in a way the subsequent installments haven't figured out how to do. It's almost not a follow-up unless you really think about it, and then it's a weird sort of sequel.
3. Christmas Vacation
I've thought of including some other sequels that thankfully went in a new direction from their precursor(s), such as Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, but neither is also as hilarious as this third Vacation movie. This time the Griswold family don't go on a trip, which gives this installment a freshness that the "go bigger" sequel European Vacation (as much as I do enjoy it) didn't have. I think of all the Vacations, I laugh the hardest still with this one.

Hello, everyone.
I have recently purchased two WordPress themes from a different online theme vendor. The themes have been installed and launched (although not publicly yet) but still have some minor issues I would like to fix and/or change before I allow them to be accessed by others. The changes are really minor and I don't believe it will require anything other than some minor tweaks to get them running properly and according to my needs.
I would like to hire the services of someone in the USA that I can talk to on the phone and discuss this project.
Is this a good place to post this ad ? In case it isn't what would be a good place to post this ad and try to find someone well versed in WordPress theme design that can help me with my project ?
Thank you in advance,

CONCORD, N.C. -- Frank Edwards stared out the door of the small, tin garage on top of the hill off Papa Joe Hendrick Boulevard. Below him on more than 100 sprawling acres, just beyond the chain-link fence where legendary crew chief Harry Hyde once lived in a trailer, is a huge complex with more than 550 employees.
Golf carts are scurrying everywhere to transport people from one large state-of-the-art building to the next. Yet another tour bus is pulling away from the museum.
This is the home of Hendrick Motorsports, originally known as All-Star Racing because owner Rick Hendrick thought he had deals with seven-time champion Richard Petty and country music star Kenny Rogers. Some would call it, and rightfully so, a dynasty. Out of these walls have come 175 Sprint Cup wins and eight Cup championships.
And more memories than one can count.
"I'm amazed to look around and think how it started and how it is now," said the 72-year-old Edwards, the only remaining member of the original five-member Cup crew that started in this modest structure. "But I never had a doubt it was going to happen."
Twenty-five years ago he was one of the few without doubt as the team headed for Martinsville Speedway, the site of Sunday's race. The No. 5 driven by Geoff Bodine wasn't fully sponsored and there were serious questions about whether it would run another week.
"I told Harry we absolutely were going to quit two races before that," Hendrick said of Hyde, who initially rented him the land to start the team.
Then came Martinsville, already a special place for Hendrick because it was about 70 miles from his home in Warrenton, N.C. Martinsville is where Hendrick watched some of his first stock car races, where he got the autograph of childhood heroes such as Petty through a fence.
On a sun-splashed spring day in 1984, it became even more special as Hendrick got his first win with Bodine piloting a red and white Chevrolet to a six-second victory over Ron Bouchard.
It was so unexpected that Hyde said there was no way they could win, and Hendrick chose to attend a church function with his wife in Greensboro, N.C., instead of the race.
It was a defining moment for what now is NASCAR's top organization. Northwestern Security Life immediately jumped on board for full sponsorship. That and the $29,880 paycheck allowed a team that planned to run about 15 races to go a full season.
Or as Hendrick says today, it allowed the organization to survive.
"So if we had not won that race 25 years ago, Hendrick Motorsports probably would not be here today," said Hendrick, who now has more wins (17) at Martinsville than any other track.
Hendrick will celebrate that win on Sunday by bringing one of the cars Bodine drove -- the original Martinsville car is being restored -- to the half-mile speedway for a FanZone appearance.
Edwards, who has spent the past few weeks making sure the car's engine is finely tuned and the paint is spit-shoe shiny, also will make the trip.
He can only imagine what Hyde would say if he were alive.
"He did not think Mr. Hendrick would make it," Edwards said as he leaned against the No. 5's rear spoiler. "If he could rise up and look back and see this. ... I don't mean this against him, but Harry thought when he quit that racing would quit.
"To look back and see all of this, I imagine he would lose his breath."
In the beginning
The original No. 5 was born only a few feet from where Edwards stood. This shop was all there was back then. It overlooked a large pond and swamp area, which has been largely filled in over the years to make land for more buildings.
Edwards gave up his job running a small shop in Middleburg, N.C., a stone's throw from Hendrick's hometown, at the age of 47 to help the man he met as a teenager chase his dream.
Most thought it was doomed to fail. A car dealer like Hendrick whose only legitimate background in racing was with dragsters and boats wasn't supposed to succeed in a business most were born into.
But Edwards was confident, after a couple of meetings with Hendrick at City Chevrolet in Charlotte, N.C., that it was worth the risk. So 10 days after he agreed to a deal -- he delayed the start to complete hunting season -- he began working on Hendrick's cars.
"Been here ever since," Edwards said with a smile. "I've heard other people question him, but you have to know Rick Hendrick like I do to understand when he makes up his mind he is going to do something, it's going to be done."
It was Edwards who helped convince Hendrick and Hyde to hire Bodine. He'd watched him race modifieds and late models up and down the East Coast and knew he could compete with the Pettys and Allisons.
"Harry didn't know Geoff Bodine," Edwards said. "There was very little doubt in my mind what Geoff Bodine could do."
Bodine, like Edwards, met Hendrick at City Chevrolet. After a lengthy discussion, Hendrick said he'd get back to him. Bodine politely asked if he could sit in the next room and wait for a decision.
Ten minutes later, he had a deal.
"I knew nothing about Rick, just what Harry told me," Bodine said. "Racers are a fickle bunch. If you weren't a racer in those days all your life, a new guy coming into NASCAR, a car dealer, he's going to fall on his face.
"But that didn't really concern me. I just wanted to work with Harry, to have a chance to work with that knowledge and history in racing. I wasn't concerned with who owned the team."
Eight races in
Hyde stood up the day before the '84 Martinsville race to throw a wrinkle into the celebration of Bodine's 35th birthday.
"He got up and said, 'Well, I don't think Bodine is ready to win. I don't think we have the car to win,'" Bodine recalled. "I was a little shocked. I got up there and said, 'I don't know what Harry is talking about, but I think we can win.'"
Hyde apparently was joking. Fortunately, Bodine didn't take him seriously.
After watching Bobby Allison lead 266 laps, Bodine passed him on the outside of Turn 3 with 48 laps to go. He then held off Bouchard for the victory.
Darrell Waltrip was third and Allison fourth. Dale Earnhardt was ninth and Petty 12th.
"The really neat thing was everybody didn't drop out," Bodine said. "It wasn't given to us. Our pass of Bobby Allison, you didn't see many go to the outside like that. We won fair and square against some the best of all time."
Edwards wasn't surprised. He knew Bodine was easy on brakes and that brakes always were a factor late at Martinsville. He also knew he and Hyde put a few things on the car at the shop to help.
"It ran 500 laps and had half the brake pads left," Edwards said. "Everything on it was legal. Nobody knew how easy Bodine was on brakes. He didn't ride them as hard as a lot of people do.
"When it got to the long runs, the ones that had been abusing their car, they faded a little. Bodine just sat there strong."
As for Hyde's prerace comment, Edwards laughed.
"I don't know hardly how to say this, but Harry had a way of covering himself before it started," he said. "I never heard him say we're going to do this or that.
"But Harry and Bodine made a heck of a team. Harry was good and Bodine was smart. There was a couple of times when Mr. Hendrick had to come down, and one would state something and the other would state something else. Then Rick would tell him the way it was going to be and they would go back to racing."
A time to celebrate, a time to mourn
Champagne and smiles flowed freely in Victory Lane that day in '84.
"Oh, my God, we went wild," Edwards recalled. "Nobody had any idea we could go to Martinsville and finish the race, let alone win it."
The versions of how Hendrick learned of the win vary. Some say general manager Jimmy Johnson called him from Victory Lane. Hendrick recalled hearing it from his mom after church.
However he found out, he drove straight for Bodine's home in Pleasant Garden, N.C., to celebrate.
"I don't think anybody in NASCAR expected Rick Hendrick to build this dynasty in NASCAR back then," Bodine said. "But Rick knows how to manage people. That's the key to success in this world, and he does that very, very well.
"He's been able to assemble and keep really good people."
Among those are many of the top 50 drivers of all time, from Bodine to Waltrip to Terry Labonte to Jeff Gordon to Jimmie Johnson to Mark Martin. But the people Bodine really meant were the behind-the-scenes guys.
The best example of the depth at HMS came in 2004 when a Hendrick plane crashed on its way to Martinsville on a dreary, foggy day. No one survived. Among the 10 people aboard were Hendrick's brother, son and key personnel such as engine builder Randy Dorton.
Johnson won that day, but there was no celebration. Many wondered how the organization would survive. It more than survived. Johnson and four-time champion Gordon pushed harder than ever and nearly caught Kurt Busch for the title.
Two years later, Johnson won the first of three straight titles. Gordon leads the standings heading into Sunday's race.
"He's a people chemist," said Jim Wall, director of engine engineering at HMS and the first degreed engineer hired by the company. "He picks out people from this group and that group and lets them work together to create something greater than the individual."
Martin, who joined HMS this season, says the way Hendrick treats people is unbelievable. His leadership was a huge reason he returned from partial retirement to run full time at the age of 50.
"Every time I get a chance to be around Rick, I just want to sit there and soak it up like a sponge and try to learn from him," Martin said.
Bodine, who is fast approaching his 60th birthday, would like to do the same.
"I wish I was one of Rick's drivers now," he said. "I wish I had all that to work with."
Everybody listens now
Edwards glanced over his shoulder at a pair of picnic tables in the far corner of the shop under a list of eight things Hendrick believes are necessary to succeed.
"Let me tell you, when we'd have a meeting and Rick came out, which he did a lot back then, everybody would sit right there at those break tables," he said. "[Ken] Schrader actually took the original ones, but I told him if they ever started to talk to burn them up.
"A lot of things were said around those tables."
And everybody at the shop listened, even if those on the outside didn't.
"No one paid any attention to me when I came in," Hendrick said. "Harry wanted an opportunity. He told me if he could build a car, he could win a race, and I was naive enough to believe him. I got to Daytona and looked out there with Junior Johnson and the Wood Brothers and all of those guys and I thought, 'Man, what am I doing here?'"
Few questioned Hendrick after his first win. Those who did certainly didn't after he won three races in his first season.
"All of a sudden, that's when people started looking at us," Hendrick said.
Now they don't just look at Hendrick, they look up to him. What he's brought to the sport in terms of sponsors outside of the automotive business and multicar teams has made him a pioneer.
The classy way he has endured such adversity as his bout with leukemia, a felony fraud charge and the plane crash has made him a role model.
And it all started 25 years ago in the Virginia foothills at Martinsville Speedway, where on Sunday he'll try to win for the 10th time in the past 13 races there.
"It was a good start," Edwards said as he looked around the shop where it all began. "It was a positive start. Rick made the statement then, when he came in one time and talked, that if we hadn't won those three races, it might not have been.
"That's something you don't know. But if I could back up and bet, I would have bet he would have made it if we hadn't won that one. I just believe that much in him."

If we are talking about strictly "performance" videos, it would have to be "ABT at the Met" (I always enjoy a mixed bill) and that video has a little bit of everything on it!

The other ballet is ABT's 'Romeo & Juliet' with Makarova and Kevin McKenzie.
Also on my wish list would be Farrell/Martins and the NYCB in 'Allegro Brilliante' on Dance in America.
Posted 13 November 2001 - 01:37 PM
JS: are you saying that the balanchine 'nutcracker' from 1958/playhouse90 is now commercially available or that it heads your most wishful 'wish list'?
and yes, melissa's comment about pbs shows aired but not put out commercially reminds one of the things that still need to be 'put out there'.
re: the 'allegro b.' it's a case of so near, yet so far, as the 'dance in america' that included the 'allegro' in question, was released EXCEPT for the 'allegro' segment itself, due, rumor has it, to the fact that nonesuch could not obtain releases from the lead(s) documented in the taping. (a similar situation prevented the 'dance in america' that included 'jewels' excerpts from including the 'rubies' pas de deux).
so many telecasts; so few commercial releases!
regarding the initial query posted here for ONE video tape, i guess i'd have to say i have no idea where i'd begin, so i won't even start the process of elimination.

I wish! I saw it years ago. If they ever release it (they won't, I'm sure; as I recall, it was black and white and not up to today's video standards), I'll be the first in line.

Is it possible to see the 1958 Nutcracker? I would love to get a chance to see Balanchine actualy performing the role of Drosselmeier, and see the choreography as it was then.

Todd Haley
Offensive Coordinator
The Steelers' offense had a record-setting season in 2014, establishing new franchise single-season records in points (436), total net yards (6,577), passing yards per game (301.6), total first downs (379) and individual 100-yard receiving games (12). Pittsburgh's offense also finished first in the NFL in time of possession (32:24), yards per first-down play (6.42) and tied for first (Green Bay) in the NFL in yards per play (6.2). Pittsburgh also scored 30 points seven times on the season to tie a franchise record for most 30-point games in a single season (1975 and 1979).
Todd Haley
Offensive Coordinator
The Steelers' offense had a record-setting season in 2014, establishing new franchise single-season records in points (436), total net yards (6,577), passing yards per game (301.6), total first downs (379) and individual 100-yard receiving games (12). Pittsburgh's offense also finished first in the NFL in time of possession (32:24), yards per first-down play (6.42) and tied for first (Green Bay) in the NFL in yards per play (6.2). Pittsburgh also scored 30 points seven times on the season to tie a franchise record for most 30-point games in a single season (1975 and 1979).
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell each broke multiple single-season team records and guided the offense to one of its best seasons in Steelers history in 2014. Each earned a trip to the Pro Bowl, along with center Maurkice Pouncey. In 2014, the Steelers became the first NFL team since the 1976 Baltimore Colts to have three different players finish in the top-two in passing yards, receiving yards and scrimmage yards.
Roethlisberger threw for a team record 4,952 yards, which was also tied for the most in the NFL (Drew Brees, New Orleans). He also set the single-season team record with 408 completions. Brown set a single-season Steelers' record in receptions (129), receiving yards (1,698) and receiving touchdowns (13). Bell set the single-season team record for yards from scrimmage (2,215), receptions by a running back (83), receiving yards for a running back (854) and total first downs (114).
In 2013, the team scored at least 20 points in each of the last nine games, marking the first time the Steelers scored at least 20 points in at least nine regular-season games since 2002. Brown was named Steelers MVP and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl. Despite missing the first three games due to injury, Bell led the team in carries (244), rushing yards (860) and rushing touchdowns (8).
In 2012, his first season as offensive coordinator, the Steelers' offense finished second in the NFL in time of possession (32:07), fourth in red zone scoring (91.8%) and 10th in third-down efficiency (42%).
Prior to joining the Steelers, Haley was the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs for the majority of three seasons (2009-11). In his second season as the Chiefs' head coach, the team completed the greatest single-season turnaround in franchise history, and the 2010 Chiefs reached the postseason for the first time since 2006. Following the club's highest win total since 2005, Haley was named the 101 AFC Coach of the Year voted on by national media members and was also awarded NFL Alumni Coach of the Year.
Before becoming head coach of the Chiefs, he served as the Arizona Cardinals' offensive coordinator for two seasons (2007-08). During his tenure with the Cardinals, the team won the club's first division title since 1975 and played in Super Bowl XLIII. Under Haley's guidance, Arizona's offense was one of the league's most explosive units. In 2008, Arizona tied for third in the league with a franchise-record 427 points, finished fourth in total offense, averaging 365.8 yards per game and finished second in the league in passing offense. The Cardinals also became just the fifth team in NFL history to have three wide receivers eclipse 1,000 yards in the same season.
From 1999 to 2006, Haley spent time as wide receivers coach for the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and New York Jets, helping each team earn a playoff berth. Haley began his NFL career as an assistant in the Jets scouting department in 1995, where he scouted regionally and assisted in player evaluations.
Haley earned a degree in communications from the University of North Florida in 1991. In February of 2010, Haley was recognized with the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award, the highest award given by the University of North Florida Alumni Association, recognizing those who have made a significant contribution to their profession, community and society. He was a member of the golf squads at the University of Florida and the University of Miami, and participated in the NCAA golf tournament during his time with the Gators.
Haley is the son of Dick Haley, former Director of Player Personnel for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1971-91). As a youth, Haley was a ball boy for the Steelers and attended Steelers training camps with his father. Alongside his father, Haley would watch the Steelers' game and practice film.
Haley was born in Atlanta, Ga., but attended Upper St. Clair High School in Pittsburgh, Pa. He and his wife, Chrissy, have four daughters, Taylor, Peyton, Kady and Ella, and one son, Richard Todd, Jr.

The nature of political passion leans toward dismissive hyperbole. No small number of Americans today, for example, believe that every utterance that ever came from Bill Clinton has to be assumed to have been a lie. Many others categorically dismiss Ronald Reagan as a mindless, thoughtless "actor" who mouthed scripts dictated by his handlers.
Title: Stories in His Own Hand: The Everyday Wisdom of Ronald Reagan
Author: Edited by Kiron K. Skinner, Annelise Anderson and Martin Anderson
Publisher: The Free Press
Price: $21
This slim, modest volume of 36 stories gleaned from Reagan's handwritten drafts and other manuscripts belies that simplist's view. What emerges is not a three-dimensional biographical portrait. But the collection, which includes a solid number of photographs of the drafts, reveals a complex, thoughtful, energetic man of strong principles - a man who might seem engagingly ironic even to his most white-knuckled detractors.

January 15, 2011
Drama and Sci-fi but just about anything except horror; love documentaries too.
That's almost impossible....I've seen so many movies that I can't even remember what I've seen and truly loved over time.
Lately, from Invictus, Matt Damon's character to his amorous girlfriend the night before the World Cup Rugby/Soccer game: "I can't tonight, I have to be angry in the morning" and From Fried Green Tomatos: I'm older than you and have more insurance
Hi everyone...I love movies and enjoy sharing the experience of the "big screen". Looking forward to meeting other "movie pals".
This is only my second event and so far I am really enjoying this group.

U.S. Stocks Retreat as Bank of America, GE Trail Projections
U.S. stocks slid, wiping out a weekly advance, as revenue at Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and General Electric Co. missed analyst estimates and a gauge of consumer confidence slid to the lowest in a year.
Bank of America tumbled 9.2 percent, the most since June 2009, while Citigroup retreated 6.3 percent and GE lost 4.6 percent. Google Inc. sank 7 percent after earnings trailed the average analyst estimate following a surge in spending. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the most profitable firm in Wall Street history, rallied 0.7 percent after agreeing to pay $550 million and change its business practices to settle federal government claims it misled investors.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index plunged 2.9 percent to 1,064.88 at 4 p.m. in New York, the biggest drop this month. It fell 1.2 percent this week, erasing its gain as the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment fell more than economists estimated. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 261.41 points, or 2.5 percent, to 10,097.90 today.
"Companies have been exceeding or meeting earnings expectations on cost cuts, not on demand for their products and services," said Terry Morris, who manages $2 billion at National Penn Investors Trust Co. in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. "I think the market is pricing in more than we're going to see" in the way of revenue growth.
Beating Estimates
The S&P 500 climbed 7.2 percent from July 2 through yesterday amid optimism that corporate earnings would signal the economic recovery is sustainable. S&P 500 companies are projected to increase profits by 34 percent in 2010 and 18 percent in 2011, the fastest two-year gain since 1995, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Of the 23 companies in the S&P 500 that reported since July 12, all but three have topped forecasts for earnings-per-share, Bloomberg data show.
Revenue for the group that has reported so far has increased 2.6 percent, with 17 of 23 companies beating analyst estimates, according to the data.
Bank of America, the largest U.S. bank by assets, slid 9.2 percent to $13.98 to lead financial companies to the biggest decline among 10 industry groups in the S&P 500. Citigroup, the third-biggest, retreated 6.3 percent to $3.90. GE, the world's largest maker of jet engines and power-plant turbines, fell 4.6 percent to $14.55. The three companies beat analyst estimates for per-share earnings while missing on sales.
"Revenue is more of a challenge when the economy's not growing very fast," said Robert Lutts, president of Cabot Money Management in Salem, Massachusetts, which oversees $500 million. "I'm more impressed that there's been no real extreme negative future guidance."
'Set the Stage'
Visa Inc. and MasterCard Inc., the biggest payments networks, declined after Bank of America forecast a drop in debit-card revenue because of new federal regulations. Visa fell 5.1 percent to $71.45. MasterCard dropped 6.9 percent to $197.22.
"We're seeing improvement in the credit metrics of the major banks," said Matthew Kaufler, a money manager at Federated Clover Investment Advisors in Rochester, New York, which manages $3 billion. "When they become more confident in themselves and begin to lend again, that will start to set the stage for a more robust economy."
Google, owner of the world's most popular search engine, fell 7 percent to $459.61. Profit missed the average analyst estimate as the company ramped up spending to take on social-networking sites such as Facebook Inc. It was the first time in two years the world's fourth-biggest technology company by market capitalization trailed forecasts.
Goldman Settlement
Goldman Sachs rose 0.7 percent to $146.17, paring an advance of as much as 4.7 percent as the market extended declines. The stock surged 4.4 percent yesterday on speculation the company would announce a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Goldman Sachs shares fell as much as 18 percent in the three months after being sued by the SEC on April 16 in connection with its marketing of collateralized debt obligations linked to subprime mortgages.
The largest penalty ever levied by the SEC against a Wall Street firm amounts to 14 days of earnings, based on Goldman Sachs's first-quarter results. It's the equivalent of 93 cents a share, said Brad Hintz, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein & Co., who had estimated a cost of $1.05.
The two-year Treasury note's yield sank to a record low below 0.58 percent on expectations sluggish economic activity will contain inflation and keep the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates. The consumer sentiment index decreased to a preliminary 66.5 for July, the lowest since August 2009, from 76 in June. The reading was lower than the most pessimistic forecast of economists in a Bloomberg News survey with a median projection of 74.
Schwab Rallies
Charles Schwab Corp. rose the most in the S&P 500, climbing 4.1 percent to $15.14. The largest independent brokerage by client assets reported second-quarter profit that beat the average analyst estimate as revenue from earned interest offset a drop in trading.
Gannett Co. dropped 11 percent to $13.50 for the biggest drop in the index. The owner of USA Today and television stations said second-quarter revenue fell to $1.37 billion, missing the $1.39 billion average analyst forecast. Revenue at Gannett has declined for the past three years. New York Times Co. slid 8.1 percent to $8.80.
Mattel Inc. fell 9.5 percent to $20.81. The world's largest toymaker posted second-quarter profit of 14 cents a share, missing the average analyst estimate of 15 cents.
