Welcome Americans! All night we have been liveblogging the PMI manufacturing reports that have come out from Asia, the Mideast, and Europe.
If you scroll down below, you can see the full scoreboard, but in the meantime, here's the gist.
Asia confirmed its "green shoots", as both China and South Korea gained, and European PMIs hit an 8-month high.
The European numbers weren't great. Italy was worse than expected. Germany was still bad. Spain was still very weak. But the general trend hints that the worst of the depression ended sometime this summer.
So overall one would have to be pretty happy with the numbers (which aren't totally in yet... US and Brazil are big ones still to come).
See all the numbers below.
EARLIER: The world's biggest economies are releasing their November manufacturing PMI reports. You can see the full, updated scorecard below.
The world will want to see if the Asian economies are continuing the improvement they saw in last month's PMI reports. They'll also want to see if Europe's manufacturing downturn is continuing to accelerate.
On Friday, China's National Bureau of Statistics released the country's official PMI. The number increased from 50.2 in October to 50.6, which was a bit shy of the 50.8 expected by economists. However, the internal measures of the report confirm that growth probably bottomed in Q3 and that the economy was accelerating again.
At the beginning of each month, Markit, HSBC, RBC, JP Morgan and several other major data gathering institutions publish the latest local readings of the manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) for countries around the world.
Each reading is based on surveys of hundreds of companies. Read more about it at Markit.
These are not the most closely followed data points. However, the power of the insights is unparalleled. Jim O'Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, believes the PMI numbers are among the most reliable economic indicators in the world. BlackRock's Russ Koesterich thinks it's one of the most underrated indicators.

Doctors said a Brazilian baby with brain damage caused by the Zika virus stayed infected for more than two months after his birth, NBC News reported.
The baby already had brain damage from the virus, which can infect a growing fetus. But the virus continued to actively infect him after he was born, Danielle Oliveira of the University of Sao Paulo and colleagues wrote in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine.
"When the infant was examined on day 54, he had no obvious illness or evidence of any immunocompromising condition," they wrote. An immune condition might explain a prolonged infection. The baby was developmentally delayed and had cerebral palsy.
This suggests that newborns may still be at risk from the virus while their brains are growing and developing — another unpleasant surprise about the virus.

Judges siding with detainees in Guantanamo habeas cases
WASHINGTON — In one federal courtroom last month, a defense lawyer argued that the U.S. military had coerced a false confession out of a 50-year-old Kuwaiti who has been at Guantanamo for seven years.
In another, a Maryland attorney proposed that his Pakistani client, being held as an alleged al Qaeda facilitator, be allowed to post bail and stay with family — in Brooklyn.
Congress returns Tuesday from its summer recess but there was no break for the judges at the U.S. District Court midway between The Capitol and The White House who have been busy plowing through more than 200 lawsuits brought by Guantanamo detainees.
And, if the first 36 cases suggest a trend, the court is hardly persuaded that the Pentagon has the "worst of the worst'' penned up at the base in southeast Cuba.
Fifteen months after the U.S. Supreme Court rebuked the Bush administration by ruling that Guantanamo captives can sue for their freedom, civilian judges have ordered the release of 29 detainees and sided with the Defense Department only seven times.
Those ordered freed include four Muslim men from China, ethnic Uighurs now working as groundskeepers at a golf course in Bermuda; a young Afghan who went home last month after growing into adulthood behind the razor wire at Camp Delta; and an Algerian now living in an apartment with his wife and daughters in the south of France.
The seven men whose habeas-corpus petitions for release were denied include a one-legged Yemeni fighter captured in 2001, a Taliban cook, and an Algerian who allegedly helped jihadists reach Afghanistan.
"I think the number of difficult questions presented by the Guantanamo cases is unprecedented in our court,'' Chief Judge Royce Lamberth recently said. "In our court, mostly settled law applies. It makes it interesting. But it really is time-consuming because of the need to proceed carefully'' and decide "precedents for future wars as well as this war.''
Lamberth said he and his 13 fellow judges are engaged in a balancing act: Developing definitions and procedures to judge which detentions are lawful while trying to quickly hear the cases of detainees who were denied civilian-court review for seven years until the Supreme Court ruling.
Pro bono defense lawyer David Remes, once a corporate attorney who worked on tobacco, oil and IBM cases, calls Guantánamo case work routine ``nuts-and-bolts litigation'' that requires interviewing clients, combing through paperwork and filing and arguing motions -- a characterization government attorneys dispute.
Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said its Civil Division has assigned 50 lawyers to defend the Defense Department detentions.
"The Justice Department's habeas team has been producing and continues to produce an extraordinary volume of information to attorneys for Guantanamo Bay detainees in complying with discovery requests,'' Boyd said. "As part of this process, the Defense Department and the intelligence community have processed thousands of individual documents containing tens of thousands of pages for declassification in connection with the cases.''
Before they ever hear cases, the judges are ordering the government to turn over intelligence, deciding how much hearsay to allow then sorting out the truth between the Pentagon's argument for continued detention and the detainee's case for release.
Logistically, it has put on a huge pile of work, not just the legal questions but the logistics of suddenly handling about 200 cases relying on classified evidence, says Lamberth. "We've never done it on this scale before,'' he said. "If a court has one at a time, that's unusual.''
To keep some judges' calendars clear, he said, he sent some non-detainee cases to federal judges in Maryland and West Virginia.
The Guantanamo cases are being heard in the same courthouse opposite the National Gallery of Art where a grand jury heard the sordid details of the Monica Lewinsky affair and Judge John Sirica sorted out the Watergate scandal.
So far, none of the cases of former CIA-held captives now at Guantanamo has had full-blown habeas hearings. Those cases are certain to be even more complex as intelligence agencies seek to shield clandestine interrogation techniques and sites from judicial scrutiny.
Sometimes, the U.S. defense lawyers who have volunteered their services have the captives testify in their own defense via secure video feed. Many have not, arguing it is the government's burden to defend the detention.
The recent opening arguments in the case of Fouad al Rabia v Barack Obama was a case in point.
Rabia listened over a sometimes-muted telephone line from Guantanamo while Justice Department attorney Sarah Maloney stood in the marble and wood-paneled court and defended Rabia's seven-year detention.
Military-intelligence agents concluded, she said, that the father of four with a master's degree from the Daytona Beach, Fla., campus of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University was a logistics and supply officer at the December 2001 battle for Tora Bora between U.S. Special Forces hunting Osama bin Laden and the al Qaeda founder's fanatical followers.
Defense attorney David Cynamon argued that the logistics officer was killed in the shock-and-awe assaults on Tora Bora in Afghanistan.
Rabia did "confess,'' Cynamon countered, adding that he told interrogators what they wanted to hear after a U.S. military program of relentless interrogation, isolation, misidentification and the misguided belief that mimicking his interrogators story was the way back to his wife and four kids in Kuwait.
Fouad would not testify. Instead, the lawyers would guide Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly through thousands of pages in the case, brought to court inside binders stamped SECRET in red to help her decide whether the Pentagon has the power to still hold him -- or to instruct President Obama's administration to arrange for his release. The judge has yet to rule.
Scholars trace the concept of a writ of habeas corpus to the time before the Magna Carta when Anglo-Saxon kings exercised an unchallenged power to banish a subject to the dungeon. In a classic U.S. habeas corpus ruling, a judge could order the captive brought before the court -- and set free on the spot.
That's difficult to do in the Guantánamo cases because none of the captives is a citizen. The detainees' release orders instruct the State Department to arrange diplomatic transfers from the Guantánamo prison camps.
The courts are also holding hearings as an Obama administration task force is deciding which of the men to let go as part of a White House mandate to close the prison camps by Jan. 22.
Some judges have put cases on hold until the task force decides; others are pressing ahead.
In January, Judge Richard Leon sided with the Pentagon's decision to detain Saudi-born Ghalib al Bihani, 29, as an enemy combatant. Taken to Guantanamo a week after the detention center opened , he had denied that he ever took part in al Qaeda basic weapons training, but admitted to working as a cook for the Taliban.
"As Napoleon himself was fond of pointing out: `An army marches on its stomach,' '' Leon wrote.
Seven months later, Judge Gladys Kessler ordered the release of Mohammed al Adahi, a 47-year-old Yemeni who admitted he went to a wedding party for his sister put on by Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and also attended al Qaeda boot camp, but washed out.
Although 'sensational and compelling,'' she wrote in her 24-page ruling, it "does not constitute actual, reliable evidence that would justify the government's detention.''
Adahi remains in Cuba while diplomats seek a repatriation agreement with Yemen.
Lawyers liken these to "show-cause hearings,'' a criminal proceeding under the most unusual circumstances -- using seven-year-old files, some classified, gathered not for prosecution but intelligence efforts.
Two weeks ago, Judge Paul Friedman struggled aloud with the question of whether detainee Saifulla Paracha, 62, might post bail.
"That's one of the great frustrations that judges have,'' Friedman said. "They reach a decision, then do they have the power to release them into the United States or into Cuba?''
Government lawyers are still combing through Guantanamo documents to decide which his lawyers may see, and an actual merits hearing won't be held until next year.
Meantime, Maryland defense attorney Gaillard Hunt said, Paracha could be fitted with a tracking device on his ankle and move to a family home in Brooklyn, or await his hearing in Karachi, Pakistan.
In 2003, masked men seized Paracha as he was leaving the airport in Bangkok, Thailand, according to his petition for release. His captors then spirited him to Afghanistan, a technique now known as rendition, for a year of U.S. interrogation and detention before he was sent to Cuba in September 2004.
He has never been charged with a crime, nor has he ever claimed his American captors tortured him. He has a heart condition but refused a U.S. military plan to treat him with angioplasty.
Rather than rule immediately on bail, Friedman gave the government two months to start providing Paracha's lawyers with the paperwork -- and asked for a formal response on the bail question by Halloween.

Dave's Rating:
No, not even for Betty White.
Who's In It: Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Victor Garber, Betty White, James Wolk, Kristin Chenoweth, Sean Wing, Kyle Bornheimer, Billy Unger
The Basics: Nerdy, zitty, four-eyed high-schooler Kristen Bell is tormented by A-list mean girl Odette Yustman. Bell grows up to be beautiful and successful and Yustman changes her life and becomes a do-gooder who's also engaged to marry Bell's brother. Yustman also pretends she never met Bell in high school and Bell decides to ruin the wedding. Meanwhile, their mother and aunt--Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver, respectively, who are both too good for all of this--were also high school rivals, though you spend most of the movie wondering what their beef is because the movie just doesn't bother to tell you. They spend the entire film staring at each other. Betty White shows up every once in a while (front and center in the ads, barely in the finished product) to stand around bewildered by her sudden career resurgence, one that even this limp excuse for comedy probably can't derail.
What's The Deal: This film is stone cold stupid and only deserving of life as an endlessly repeated ABC Family TV movie, so to review it in any real way is beside the point. Instead I'll review 1939's The Women, starring Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and Norma Shearer. That one's about women who fight and bicker and backstab and insult each other in a way that is still considered somewhat evil and borderline misogynist. It's also really, really funny. So watch that instead. It's on TCM all the time. Any movie about ladies hating each other should do its best to be as witty and cruel as it was. But this pointless trek to Not Funny chose to be as nice as possible every step of the way. And that just makes no sense.
And Another Thing About The Women: Because it was made in 1939, it was pointedly about how women of that time used their limited power and the fact that that power was in such short supply after resources like youth, beauty and "feminine wiles" were spent. So speed up to 2010 for a movie about women who have external signifiers of power like big careers and their own money and a million more choices about life in general, and all the movie can do is strip them of their wits and ability to speak like adults or move through life without being strung up in trees, covered in mud, dunked in pools, their bones broken or stung by an entire ant colony. It's all you have left to do to characters when you remove their brains.
Just When You Think It Might Turn Fun: The big showdown between Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis comes along and you think, "Nice, Ripley vs. Laurie Strode. It's gonna get real right now." So they throw each other in a pool. And then they splash each other. And that's it. No one tries to push the other one under. No attempted drowning moves. A half-hearted splash fight. Joan Collins and Linda Evans were more violent on old episodes of Dynasty.
Most Disturbing Thing Of All: Daryl Hall and John Oates perform and Oates is now mustache-less.
It's from Disney, so...of course it's going to be 'nice'.
It really was weird/lame..Betty White swinging at the dance studio was cute, and the dad got some good lines too. Kristen Bell has always been forgettable. I actually enjoyed the pool scene btw Jamie & Sigourney. Probably the best, heartfelt, most sentimental acting out of the whole entire movie.

The Proper Use of Potassium Iodide
If you are seeking to learn more about potassium iodide uses, the first thing to understand is that iodine and potassium iodine are two very different things. Iodine is an essential trace mineral that is necessary for maintaining good health. Potassium iodine is used for specific medical conditions and under specific circumstances. Potassium iodine uses vary, but the most well-known use is for emergencies, in particular, nuclear accidents.
Potassium iodine is highly effective in helping to protect the thyroid from damage when exposure to radioactive iodine-131 occurs. The thyroid is particularly vulnerable to exposure to radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide essentially floods the thyroid with iodine so that when radioactive iodine enters the system, the thyroid does not absorb it. If the thyroid absorbs radioactive iodine, cancer can result. It is important to note that these cancers may not manifest for many years.
Potassium Iodide Uses and the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Incident
During the Chernobyl nuclear incident in 1986, potassium iodide was given to millions of people in an effort to protect those living in irradiated areas. This turned out to be an extremely prudent step, as many years later it became clear to researchers that the need to protect the thyroid was, in fact, more pronounced than originally believed. The World Health Organization has documented that there was an increase in thyroid cancer up to 500 km from the Chernobyl accident site.
Other Potassium Iodide Uses-Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
More recently in 2011, the damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant resulted in a large, ongoing and potentially unknown level of radiation being released into the environment. This has left many people wondering if they should take special precautions, such as potassium iodide.
It has been since reported that U.S. Navy personnel within 100 miles of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant were instructed to take potassium iodine tablets as a precautionary measure. Many of these crewmen are reporting illness.
Nagasaki and Thyroid Disease
The effects of radiation exposure can be profound, complex and confusing. A good example of this can be seen in the survivors of the Nagasaki blast exposure. Over 40% of the survivors of the Nagasaki exposure have thyroid disease.
Potassium Iodine Must Be Used In a Safe Fashion
The nature of radiation exposure is such that it is extremely difficult to know if one will be impacted and how. The effects of exposure can take decades to manifest themselves. But one thing is certain; exposure should be avoided if possible.
Potassium iodine can be used to protect the thyroid from iodine-131, but it is not a cure or safeguard against all radiation exposure, nor should it be seen as such. Potassium iodine plays an extremely valuable role in protecting the thyroid from damage, but overuse can actually lead to thyroid damage. In other words, potassium iodine should be used when it is clear that there is an urgent and verified need. The potential side effects of using potassium iodine are such that the drug should only be used when there is a clearly and undeniable risk of exposure.

Date: Mar 20, 2013
Press Release Number: 31-2013
Visitors will see spectacular panoramic view of NYC and surrounding region
The Port Authority Board of Commissioners today voted to approve the selection of nationally renowned Legends Hospitality, LLC (Legends) to develop and operate the observation deck at the top of One World Trade Center. The facility, called One World Observatory, will occupy floors 100-102 at the iconic structure.
The Board's vote followed yesterday's call from Governors Cuomo and Christie to endorse the award of a contract to Legends to bring a world-class observation deck to what will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere when it reaches its final height of 1776 feet.
The building is a joint venture between The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and The Durst Organization. The selection of Legends follows a rigorous competition that resulted in six proposals from nationally known companies. The Port Authority and Durst narrowed the list to three finalists in September 2012.
Legends is among the most heralded and established companies in sports and entertainment and is renowned for delivering a variety of services at premier venues including Yankee Stadium and Cowboys Stadium. The firm is owned by the New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, and the Checketts Partners Investment Fund.
In approving the project at today's meeting, the Board noted the agreement provides significant private capital for the World Trade Center site without any additional Port Authority investment. The revenue will be a combination of fixed and variable rent, projected to be worth $875 million over the term of the 15-year lease. This transaction validates the agency's long-standing plan to attract private capital and to continue to recoup the Port Authority's substantial investment to rebuild the World Trade Center site.
"With today's action we are once again leveraging private investment and expertise to ensure One World Trade Center serves as a center for jobs and commerce in our region," said Port Authority Chairman David Samson. "Legends has extensive experience in managing some of the country's most successful sports and entertainment venues, so we are confident that One World Observatory will become the most recognizable and visited attraction in New York City."
"This strategic partnership with Legends will provide New Yorkers and people from around the globe with the opportunity to experience One World Trade Center as a symbol of America's resolve to rebuild and come back stronger," said Port Authority Vice Chairman Scott Rechler. "The project requires zero investment from the states or the Port Authority and will yield significant revenue during the life of the lease."
"We look forward to working with Legends Hospitality, LLC at One World Trade Center," said Jonathan (Jody) Durst, president of The Durst Organization. "The Observation deck will be one of the most exciting attractions in New York City and a terrific addition to Lower Manhattan."
"We are extremely honored to be selected to develop and operate the One World Observatory," said Dave Checketts, Chairman and CEO, Legends. "Our creative concept will provide an immersive, personal and memorable experience for all those who visit, evoking the strength, renewal and resilience that this iconic building stands for."
One World Observatory will provide visitors with spectacular views of New York City and the surrounding region from above 1,250 feet. The 120,000 square foot facility is scheduled to open in early 2015. It will feature cutting-edge digital technology, dining options, a gift shop, special events space and the "See Forever" theater where visitors will learn about the building of One World Trade Center.
Visitors will board one of five dedicated state-of-the-art elevators that will be among the fastest lifts in the world to ascend to the top of the building in approximately 60 seconds. Admission to One World Observatory will be consistent with the cost of other similar world-class attractions and the venue will offer discounted rates to local school and community groups.
CONTACT: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Founded in 1921, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey builds, operates, and maintains many of the most important transportation and trade infrastructure assets in the country. The agency's network of aviation, ground, rail, and seaport facilities is among the busiest in the country, supports more than 550,000 regional jobs, and generates more than $23 billion in annual wages and $80 billion in annual economic activity. The Port Authority also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center site, where construction crews are building the iconic One World Trade Center, which is now the tallest skyscraper in New York. The Port Authority receives no tax revenue from either the state of New York or New Jersey or from the City of New York. The agency relies on revenues generated by facility users, tolls, fees and rents as well as loans, bond financing, and federal grants to fund its operations. For more information, please visit http://www.panynj.gov.
The Durst Organization, founded in 1915 by Joseph Durst, is the owner, manager and builder of 13 million square feet of premiere Manhattan office towers. The Durst Organization is recognized as a world leader in the development of high-performance and environmentally advanced commercial and residential property.

New (Old) House: Sneak Peek
No Comments Yet, Leave Yours!
- Hissyfits & Halos said...
It looks beautiful! I can't wait to see it after you give it your magic touch!
- November 28, 2009 at 9:36 PM
I am so excited for both of you! I know those windows are rotting, but love them! My parents are phasing out their rope cord windows with replacements windows. The new windows are nice, but have no character.
- November 28, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Please restore your windows if you can! I've helped restore wood windows that are over 200 years old. Old wood windows can last forever - they just need basic maintenance once restored. You can do it yourself, too. The Fairmount Park Trust (in Philadelphia) hosts workshops that instruct homeowners on how to restore and maintain their historic windows: http://www.fairmountparktrust.org/gal-outreach-1.php
The house is beautiful - and I'm jealous of your yard.

Wow--this is gorgeous. I love how luminous the floors are and those beautiful (in need of TLC) windows. I'm looking forward to seeing how you transform it.

Thanks, guys!
Marlene, I promise to try and save the old windows... some may be beyond saving, but others are capable of a new life. I ADORE THE WAVY GLASS so I am going to be on the side of saving each and every window. And there are many...
I will be visiting that link too! I have a lot of learning to do...

The house is really wonderful. I just love the atmosphere of old houses. Yeah, the windows are not in a good state, that's true. Still, I think it would be better to restore them than to replace them. Good luck with that.

I live in a similar aged house but in the UK. Yes there are more energy efficient windows to be had but the originals are fantastic. We have a company in the UK called Ventrolla which renovate sash windows and install there own mechanism which means that you can easily remove top and bottom windows so that you can paint them, or if they are high up, you can clean them. Its a franchise so not sure if its in the USA. We just have beautifully interlined curtains for chilly evenings.

Are you moving here? Love older homes, and the newel posts are beautiful. So much work, but it will probably be so worth it. Can't wait to see what you do!
- December 14, 2009 at 2:26 AM
Wonderful house!!!
Our's is smaller version of it. Please try and restore the windows, my husband and i did ours and although we are still doing them it has been worth it.
He stripped them all of 100+ years of paint to the wood then sanded and I painted and reglazed them..neither of us had ever done this before and we are in our early sixties(but that's still young :) ..You can do it! Can't wait to see it finished!
Best of luck.

Fergie Expecting First Child
(LOS ANGELES) -- The singer announced on Monday that she is expecting her first child with husband Josh Duhamel.
"Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!! #mylovelybabybump," Fergie tweeted along with superimposed childhood photos of the couple. A representative for Fergie confirmed the news to ABC News.
Fergie, 37, and Duhamel, 40, wed in 2009. They revealed to Oprah Winfrey last October that they want two children.
"We negotiated that early on. He told me he wanted five and I said I'm not going any higher than two," Fergie said.

In the midst of summer camps, vacations and sports, the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Tama County urge parents to ensure their child's immunizations are up-to-date in preparation for going back to school. Iowa Law requires children to receive immunizations prior to attending a licensed child care center or school. These requirements are based upon the recommendations from the national Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and are minimum recommendations to keep your child healthy. Contact your health care provider to make sure your child's immunizations meet current recommendations.
Because of the global nature of our society, vaccinations are more important than ever. "Most cases of measles in the U.S., for example, have been 'imported' by a visitor from another country," said Tama County Public Health Director Linda Rosenberger. "Without high vaccination rates in the U.S., a single case of a vaccine-preventable disease brought from another country could balloon into an epidemic." The best way to protect you and your family against vaccine preventable diseases is to make sure your immunizations are up to date. The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program offers vaccines at no cost for eligible children through VFC-enrolled providers.
Fact BoxCHRONICLE v IT OUT!
• To find out if your child qualifies and clinic hours, contact Joyce Legg, RN at Tama County Public Health & Home Care at 641-484-4788. Vaccinating on schedule means healthier children, families and communities.
•For more information about vaccinations, including required child care and school vaccinations, recommended adult vaccinations, and more, visit www.idph.state.ia.us/ImmTB/Immunization.aspx?prog=Imm&pg=ImmHome.

Pediatric Epilepsy Research Lab
Neurology Research Investigator Profile
Our long-term research goal is the development of new approaches to the treatment of epilepsy based on a clearer understanding of the necessary steps in seizure initiation and propagation.
The two major themes in the lab are neuronal ion transport and the spread of activity in neural networks. Neuronal ion transport underlies signaling at all fast synapses. The importance of neuronal ion transport was underscored by our recent discovery that reversed ion transport in the immature brain was blocking the effects of the anticonvulsants most commonly used to treat neonatal seizures, and that a safe and well-characterized diuretic could ameliorate this condition.
Our work on the spread of excitation in neural networks combines fluorescent imaging of network activity with computerized analysis and modeling to understand how normal and abnormal signaling progresses through neural networks. We have found evidence for reentrant or circular patterns of neural activity that resemble cardiac fibrillation and precede seizures. We are currently testing whether this reentrant activation of neural circuits is the earliest stage of a seizure, and the stage at which intervention is most effective. We are also testing whether long-term reductions in the strength of synaptic connections between neurons in epileptic networks can reduce the probability of seizures.

A study led by MassGeneral Hospital for Children investigators is providing new insight into the mechanism of neonatal seizures, which have features very different from seizures in older children and adults.

Subscribe To Holiday Weekend Box Office: Audiences Smuggle Contraband To Number One Updates
I've already subscribed
Mark Wahlberg went head-to-head with Walt Disney this holiday weekend, and where one might usually expect the re-release of an Oscar nominated classic to win out, top earnings went to the mediocre thriller.
Contraband fared surprisingly well, coming up first place with $28 million over the four-day holiday. The total is a success both for Wahlberg, whose headlined movies are hit and miss at the box office, and for the studio who saw a quick return on their $25 million budget.
After the major success of Disney's re-release of The Lion Kingin 3D last year, it was to be expected more of its classics would get the same treatment. While Beauty and the Beast didn't quite match Lion King's $30 million opening weekend, it landed second place with $23 million. Never mind that Beauty and the Beast is the better movie (see the aforementioned Oscar nominations for Best Picture), attribute the lesser success to being released in the typically sleepy month of January compared to Lion King's end-of-the-summer release last year.
Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton's feel good flick Joyful Noise settled in at fourth place with $13 million, just behind Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol. As predicted, last week's shock success The Devil Inside plummeted to sixth place, but still managed to add $9 million to its running total.
Weinstein's now award-winning The Iron Lady (Meryl Streep took home the Golden Globe for her turn as Margaret Thatcher) got a little more attention this week as it widened its release to over 800 theaters. The $6 million it banked this weekend left it at number 11, just $400,000 shy of the top ten.
For the full Martin Luther King Jr. top ten totals, check out the chart below:

And just like that, they're in grades 10, 8, and 2. And in front of a new house. #hellaearly #hellavague
Word(less) Wednesday
I like to pretend I can not-write stuff but I can't not-say that I was just running out for early morning coffee on Sunday like I never ever do and as I drove back from Starbucks I noticed that I had a companion. I actually stopped in the middle of the road to take a picture of this dude.
The joys of living in an almost-totally Mormon community include having the nicest neighbors on earth, and having absolutely no one on the road with you on Sunday mornings because everyone but your heathen ass is at church, but that's okay because Bug is *my* co-pilot.
And yes, I'm aware I should wipe down my windshield, shut up.

At his popular East Village restaurant Graffiti, as well as in his runner-up performance on The Next Iron Chef, Chef Jehangir Mehta made his name by juxtaposing ingredients, textures and tastes from his native India with flavors from all around the globe. It is his cultural heritage that fills him with endless inspiration, and it all began when Mumbai-born Jehangir took an interest in the goings-on of the kitchen in his childhood home.
Chef's first job at L'Absinthe New York in 1996 was a springboard for his diverse and storied career to date, including cooking at Typhoon Brewery along side James Chew, Union Pacific with Rocco DiSpirito, working with Jean-George Vongerichten at Jean-George his name sake restaurant, and then to open what became one of the hottest destinations in New York, Mercer Kitchen, and partnering with Didier Virot on the opening of Upper West Side's culinary destination Aix.
In 2007 Chef Mehta released a cookbook, "Mantra, The Rules of Indulgence" (Harper Collins), and opened his first restaurant, Graffiti, followed by the opening of his Tribeca restaurant, Mehtaphor in 2010.
Chef Mehta was a participant in Food Network's Next Iron Chef Redemption 2012, the runner-up at the Next Iron Chef 2009, a participant in the Iron Chef America and a guest on Martha Stewart Living.
He is the chef ambassador for Beyond Celiac and tours the country to encourage more fine dining restaurants to offer gluten free options to customers.
Chef is extremely passionate about helping children enjoy food and eat healthy. Ten years ago, he was a pioneer in this field, when he started "Candy Camp", a fun filled private cooking class for children. Today he hosts "Gastro Kids After School", and works with kids at PS.33 in Manhattan as part of the "Wellness in Schools" initiative.

OK. Bent over. Hands on knees. Breathing hard. Whew. Made it. "Pant. Pant."
For a while there, it seemed it'd never happen, but somehow we staggered across the annum finish line, finally placing 2012 irrevocably in the rear-view mirror. Make no mistake, the political climate is still volatile.
And the double-crossing chicanery hasn't mellowed a bit from last year's quadrennial heights.
But now we're deep enough into the new year that a few of us have occasionally remembered to scribble "2013" on our checks. Yeah, checks. Aren't we the digital ones? Mostly zeroes. And as a public service we here at Durstco have offered to assist with a couple of resolutions that should have been made, but probably weren't.

Stock Upgrades: Johnson & Johnson Is All About the Benjamins
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
When the Fed concluded its December 18, 2013 confab by announcing an end to the bond-buying binge, stocks surged. When investors actually got around to reading the details of said meeting, stocks slumped for a fourth time in five days. Welcome to Wall Street, where logic always deserves to trade at a premium. (Even when Einstein rings the opening bell.) Dow Industrials (INDEXDJX:.DJI) and the S&P 500 Index (INDEXSP:.INX) thus each continued their decidedly lukewarm start to 2014. The "January barometer," which hails the first five trading days of the year as indicative of the future, officially ended yesterday. That was appropriate, as weather was everywhere. Humorist Kin Hubbard, who famously opined, "Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while," was clearly on to something. McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), whose first clown was the most famous climate forecaster in America, dropped 1.01% on a rating downgrade. Mind you, Mark Twain - he of the line "If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes" - could also have been talking about fickle equity analysts, for the fast food firm scores an upgrade this morning. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) warns the ice may impact tomorrow's jobs report; it certainly makes for interesting elevator conversation at the financial firm. Over in Britain, where you often encounter four separate meteorological seasons in a single day, Imperial Tobacco Group (OTCMKTS:ITYBY) tumbled 2.70% on news China may soon ban smoking in public places over fears it isn't smart to breathe that stuff. The English, who understand irony far better than us Americans, could be forgiven for having a wry chuckle over that one.
There aren't any top-tier economic events to move US markets today. Regarding specific stocks, Alcoa (NYSE:AA) unofficially ushers in fourth-quarter earnings season when it announces after the closing bell, with Acuity Brands (NYSE:AYI), PriceSmart (NASDAQ:PSMT), Supervalu (NYSE:SVU), Texas Industries (NYSE:TXI), and Synnex (NYSE:SNX) also due to release results.
Aetna (NYSE:AET): The insurer gets increased to Outperform from Neutral at Credit Suisse.
Angie's List (NASDAQ:ANGI): Raymond James raises its recommendation to Strong Buy from an already upbeat Outperform.
AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN): The pharmaceutical firm is hoisted to Hold from Underperform at Jefferies.
Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK): Evercore increases its investment assessment to Overweight from Equal Weight.
Dana Holding (NYSE:DAN): DAN gets a Buy-from-Neutral boost at Goldman Sachs. Its price objective, previously $22, increases to $25.
DuPont (NYSE:DD): Bank of America-Merrill Lynch lifts yesterday's top Dow stock to Buy from Neutral.
Forest Labs (NYSE:FRX): The stock, which surged on Wednesday, is now Buy from Neutral at Buckingham Research.
H&R Block (NYSE:HRB): Shares, which surged 4.46% even in yesterday's down market, are adding on another 2.12% this morning after being boosted to Buy from Neutral at BTIG Research.
J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP): J.C. Penney stock plunged 10.01% yesterday, but it is rebounding nicely today. This after an Overweight-from-Neutral increase at Piper Jaffray, which says Wednesday's wobble was overdone.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ): With Wednesday's closing price of $94.16, one Benjamin will buy you a single Johnson & Johnson share with $5.84 to spare. (Always assuming my trusty Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ)12c financial calculator is correct; as that stock tumbled 2.59% yesterday, one can't be too sure.) Today J&J stock may further flirt with $100 after getting upgraded to Buy from Hold at Jefferies. Its target price is also taken up, by $6 to $108.
Macy's (NYSE:M): Miracle on 34th Street? Not if you are one of the 2,500 Macy's employees who are about to lose their jobs. The stock is, however, surging some 6.87% as we speak, as BMO Capital moves it to Outperform from Market Perform after yesterday's restructuring announcement.
McDonald's (NYSE:MCD): Maybe the clown can turn a frown upside down. Yesterday's downgrade is but a bad dream for McDonald's, whose stock is trading higher this morning after being boosted to Overweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley.
Medical Properties Trust (NYSE:MPW): Jefferies juices its rating to Buy from Hold.
Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ:RVBD): RVBD is raised to Hold from Underperform, also at Jefferies.
SunTrust Banks (NYSE:STI): Bank of America-Merrill moves its fellow financial firm to Neutral from Underperform. Its target price is $38.
WhiteWave Foods (NYSE:WWAV): Shares are now Buy from Neutral at Longbow.
Williams-Sonoma (NYSE:WSM): The Pottery Barn owner is upgraded to Buy from Hold with a $68 target at Argus.

freelancer Visible Balance Wheel
Once again, RAYMOND WEIL is playing with colors and materials in offering us a completely new interpretation of its freelancer. The freelancer Visible Balance Wheel, as its name indicates, reveals the balance of its mechanical movement at 12 o'clock. From now on, as the collection's first piece in two-tone steel and rose gold, the freelancer Visible Balance Wheel has its place right at the top of the year 2013's hit parade.
More than a successful collection, freelancer is a true reference to the Swiss Brand with its independent family company status. It is also a range created in honor of free spirits, of personalities wanting to remain in control of their own destiny. From the very outset, the collection has not stopped evolving with its time over the years, free from all constraints, but never losing sight of its own soul: an urbane personality, an air both elegant and relaxed, with beveled horns and emblematic screws.
The 42mm steel case of the freelancer Visible Balance Wheel is perfectly formed with a rose-colored bezel and crown. The black dial is also enhanced with rose gold indexes and hands and reveals a part of its mechanical movement with automatic winding at 12 o'clock. A subtle Clou de Paris guilloche decorates the center zone. The polished and satiné finished steel and rose gold bracelet, fitted with a folding clasp stamped with RW, extends the case's urbane contours. As a last detail, the hour and minute hands display a luminescent surface.
Full of style and personality, the freelancer Visible Balance Wheel dares to make the difference with its steel and rose gold version.

I guess I'm gonna try to make it Saturday
you gonna be there? (you better be)
shouldn't I be makin splits that day?
if those "hopefuls" get away from me again this year I'm gonna be pis.... not very happy
Well I have pre-registered and ready to go. Hope to see you both there.
I expect to be there both days, if possible.
What do you folks think about the jump in the price off the meeting from $20.00 to $30.00 is this in line with the registration fees for other states.I know it cost a lot to put one of these on but it seams that was a large jump all at one time.
I think they call it GREED.
Our local meeting is $35.00 if you register in advance and $45.00 for walk-ins. I don't think that your $30.00 fee sounds out of line at all.
I'm sure they needed to make the adjustment to compensate for increases from the rising cost of fuel. We are going to see that happen more this year with all goods and services. I smell greed too, but not from the direction of the Meeting organizers.
To everything there is a season....
I am going to a trade show in Baltimore next week. The admission is 300.00, whether advance or at the door. There are no family or group admissions. That 300 is for each and every visitor.
Now who's greedy.
Banjos and bees... how sweet it is!
When I commute, 1 meal at $15 is ok for me. You must eat more than I do.
For me $1 is two much.
I agree!
Well, anyway, the meeting was better than I expected, good information and over 380 in attendance. Kim Flottum from Bee Culture is a very interesting, knowledgeable and listenable speaker. Dr. Suazo gave some good stuff about SHB.
Summer Meeting is at Pinehurst, Sand Hills Community College.
Banjos and bees... how sweet it is!
Looks like the price for a ticket to the big show was right in line big turn out and lots of good information . Didn,t mean to get you fellows blood pressure to run up, just wanted to find out what the other assosiations were charging I,ll bee more carefull with my words next time,But I say to you in advance welcome to Moore county in July!
I went to engraving school at Troy last summer. Stayed with Wes Smith at the Inn at Eagle Springs.I'll say one thing for the area...there sure aren't many restaurants. Maybe closer to Pinehurst there will be some.
Banjos and bees... how sweet it is!
Yes Bee Gee there are lots of places to eat in the Abeerdeen, Pinehurst, Southern Pines area.Anything from a dollar burger at a fast food place to a $200.00 dollar meal at the carolina hotel and every thing in between.
