Stock Sell Offs Go Global
TOM HUDSON: A massive sell-off today around the world with global markets. Susie, the selling started overseas and spread to Wall Street right at the ringing of the opening bell.
SUSIE GHARIB: You're right, Tom. All 30 stocks in the Dow were in red and the major market indexes are down by 10 percent or more from their April 23 highs, considered correction territory.
HUDSON: Let's go ahead and take a look at these closing numbers now. The Dow at the bell plunged 376 points, trading at 10,068. The NASDAQ tumbled almost 95 and the S&P 500 fell 43 points. And as you would imagine, volume was very heavy. Over two billion shares trading hands on the big board and 3.3 billion on the NASDAQ. Uncertainty about the economy in Europe as well as the U.S. weighed on investors as did some new concerns about financial reform. So what will stop the selling? Suzanne Pratt reports.
SUZANNE PRATT, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: On Wall Street, sometimes it's hard to detect a change in sentiment. Not lately. In fact, you'd have to be stuck on a desert island to miss the recent 180-degree turn investors have taken. Fear now dominates the stock market. Less than a month ago, euphoria ruled. That sentiment swing has resulted in a more than 10 percent drop in the S&P 500 since its April 23rd high as investors have become obsessed with everything from the euro to the stalled global recovery. But the stock market declines also have investors questioning what it will take to stop the selling. Strategist Craig Peckham sees no quick fix, but says investors will need to refocus on strength in the U.S. economy.
CRAIG PECKHAM, EQUITY STRATEGIST, JEFFERIES & CO.: The marketplace needs to be able to say with conviction that the issues in Europe and the fundamental economic picture in the U.S. are disconnected at some level.
PRATT: Peckham says it will take a continued stream of positive economic data before stocks become appealing again.
PECKHAM: I think it's going to happen. I just can't predict that it's going to happen in the immediate future. We've got I think a lot of fits and starts in front of us right now. But the market has an interesting way of turning its sentiment measures around pretty quickly.
PRATT: Others disagree. Strategist Nick Colas says U.S. stocks cannot regain favor until the euro's free-fall begins and Europe begins to repair its financial problems. Otherwise, U.S. financial institutions are also at risk.
NICHOLAS COLAS, CHIEF MARKET TECHNICIAN, CONVERGEX: It isn't the case anymore that 300 or 400 banks lend the money in the U.S. It's now the case of less than 10 banks in the U.S. basically control most consumer lending. Those banks all have big operations in Europe and all have what they call a lot of counter party risks with the European banks. So if the European financial system is sick, then the U.S. is certainly at least going to catch a cold.
PRATT: As for how long it will take policy makers to stabilize the euro, it may be less time than you think.
COLAS: They would put together the basics of the game plan. It all has to be approved. It all has to get put to work. That's going to take time, three to six months at a minimum.
PRATT: When and if investors rediscover U.S. stocks, experts say the appetite may not return overnight. They say it may take months for a new base to form and for the stock market to regain its footing. Suzanne Pratt, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, New York.
One on One with Carter Worth of Oppenheimer & Company
SUSIE GHARIB: Let's get another forecast on the markets from a technical analyst. Joining us right now, Carter Worth. He's chief market technician at Oppenheimer and Company. Hi Carter.
CARTER WORTH, CHIEF MARKET TECHNICIAN, OPPENHEIMER: Hi Susie.
GHARIB: Well, as you look at your indicators, do you think that what we're going through now is a normal market correction or the beginning of a bear market?
WORTH: Sure, there's a pretty time-tested rule that one can rely on for determining bear or bull — a 200-year old rule and it is the character of slope of the (INAUDIBLE) mechanism, the 150-day moving average. So currency, commodity, index, stock, what have you, if the (INAUDIBLE) mechanism is rising, the instrument in question is bullish. If it's declining, the instrument in question is bearish. What's happened now for the first time in over a year, the smoothing mechanism on the S&P 500 is now no longer rising and just as of two sessions ago has turned down. And it's turned down in China, months ago. It's turned down in most of the European borses (ph) from Paris to Italy, to Spain months ago. So one of the last holdouts is the U.S. and the issue is not so much whether it's an opinion of bull or bear, it's the primary trend has now changed to no longer rising.
GHARIB: And how do you see the trend going through the rest of this year, for the Dow and for the S&P?
WORTH: Sure. We spend a lot of time trying to pay attention to symmetry and there are rules of symmetry if you will, borrow from some of the rules of physics. And in the S&P, what's happening so far, basically, we came in this morning, we were unchanged on the year. And there is a tendency where if you have a violent up year right after a big bear market, meaning you go down hard in a big bear and the first year that's up is up big, we had that in '09 — the second year is often at the end a push, nothing's happened. And this happened after the 2000 NASDAQ bubble crashed when we dropped from 2000 to 2002, the first up year '03 was up big (INAUDIBLE).
GHARIB: So how do you see your — specifically your prediction for the Dow and the S&P by the end of this year? Are they going to be unchanged or are they going to go higher or lower?
WORTH: (INAUDIBLE) unchanged and we're mirroring '04 almost exactly. Strong in the beginning of the year, January as we were in '04, weak now and we were weak in '04. And then we had strength at the end of the year in '04. We're looking for that same pattern to repeat. At the end —
GHARIB: What is the likelihood that the Dow could turn back statistically into the 11,000 territory or the S&P could get back up to the 1200 level?
WORTH: Right. We think that the highs are in for the year, so the late April highs of 12, 19 change on the S&P and 11,200 or thereabouts on the Dow, we think that marks the high. We think the lows are about 2 percent from here. And then we end up again on the year what you call (INAUDIBLE) plus or minus 2 percent.
GHARIB: You told me that despite this, you know, flat performance or downward performance of the S&P this year, there still are some stocks that are worth buying and you gave me a couple of names. And let's take a look at them. Heinz (HNZ), Campbell's Soup (CPB) and General Mills (GIS). They're all up so far in 2010. What does the technicals tell you and is it a good idea to buy these stocks now?
WORTH: Sure. Well they have one — let's say two common characteristics. They are all defensive by nature, right — ketchup, canned soup, corn flakes, General Mills. So the issue they're still in primary trends that are rising. And as you point out, they're up on the year. And it's of all the things that have ever been tested in all markets at the highest level of the biggest machines ever, computer, relative strength is the number one thing. How is something doing, a stock, compared to its asset class other stocks? These stocks are outperforming. They're exhibiting impressive relative strength.
GHARIB: Let's look at the opposite way because you said there are so many stocks that are not exhibiting any strength. You gave up three names — Google (GOOG), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Freeport (
FCX), all of them down double digits. What's your analysis there?
WORTH: And here it's really, it's the quota, yes, or quite the opposite. In each case and they're totally different businesses, a media company — Google, a broker dealer, Goldman, a copper company, Freeport, but the patterns are identical. Each was very strong. Each has been faltering. And now the smoothing mechanism (INAUDIBLE) has turned down in each one.
GHARIB: What about market volatility, Carter? We hear a lot about this, the market volatility, the so-called Vix index has really spiked up in the past week even. Do you see between now and the end of the year a lot more volatility or not?
WORTH: I think the volatility — elevated volatility will persist and that happens in transition periods, right. If you're in a steady down trend, volatility abates. If you're in a steady uptrend (INAUDIBLE). When you're in a transition period, there's a debate raging and that's what's (INAUDIBLE) and those who think the market is cheap and those who think it's got problems. The Vix or volatility typically spikes.
GHARIB: Very good information. Thank you so much for coming on the program.
WORTH: Thank you, much obliged.
GHARIB: My guest tonight, Carter Worth, chief market technician at Oppenheimer and Company.
SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro Reveals a Flash Crash Prevention Plan
SUSIE GHARIB: Now we have learned a lot of new terms since the market's flash crash earlier this month. One of the most controversial is broken trade. That's Wall Street's speak for a trade that's considered a mistake and is reversed after the fact. Well today, the nation's top securities regulator told the Senate Banking Committee she wants to write new rules on broken trades in the next few weeks. Darren Gersh explains.
DARREN GERSH, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Sure, the iPad is selling well. But would you pay $100,000 for a single share of Apple stock? Apparently during the flash crash, someone did. And there were $100,000 a share trades in four other stocks. told the Senate Banking Committee today those trades will almost certainly be broken. Though she says it's pretty arbitrary which flash crash trades will be broken and which will not.
MARY SCHAPIRO, SEC CHAIRMAN: There are clearly going to be aggrieved customers given the level at which the exchange is set, the break threshold. Going forward, we have to fix this process. It is very badly broken.
GERSH: Schapiro also says the SEC is investing whether brokers met their regulatory requirement to find the best prices available for retail trades. At this point, you're probably wondering how a $200 stock could trade for $100,000 and a $30 stock could sell for a penny. Here's how. If a Wall Street trading firm wants to keep bringing in business, it is required to submit a price to buy and sell a stock. In market speak an offer to both buy and sell is called a two-sided quote. But when markets go crazy, many firms don't want to buy or sell anything, so they offer to buy at a penny and sell at $100,000.
SCHAPIRO: The obligation to provide a two-sided quote used to be required to be reasonably related to the market price no longer is in all cases. And we end up with, you know, a spread of one cent to $100,000. That's just unacceptable.
GERSH: The SEC is actively considering restoring rules that require firms that make markets to do just that — offer real prices and buy and sell real shares even when the markets are rough. And regulators say it is critical to use circuit breakers to stop extremely volatile trading so people can step in to correct the mistakes made by high-tech computers. That's critical says Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler because those fancy computer trading strategies you may be hearing about, the ones that use mathematical algorithms, it turns out Gensler says they're not so fancy.
GARY GENSLER, CFTC CHAIRMAN: A lot of these algorithms, just because it's an algorithm, don't think smart. A lot of the algorithms are very just rote, even dumb. I mean they just do what they have been programmed to do, repeatedly.
GERSH: We also got more insight into why it's taking the Securities and Exchange Commission so long to analyze the flash crash data. The SEC's computers are too old to quickly crunch the vast amount of trading data generated by Wall Street's state of the art trading systems. Regulators are looking to hire an outside firm to help out. Darren Gersh, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, Washington.
Commentary-Austerity is the New Black
SUSIE GHARIB: With the U.S. debt ballooning and Europe slogging its way through a debt crisis, tonight's commentator welcomes a new age of global belt tightening. She is Chrystia Freeland, global editor at large at Thomson Reuters.
CHRYSTIA FREELAND, GLOBAL EDITOR-AT-LARGE, THOMSON REUTERS: Get ready for a new age of austerity. That's the message from several of the world's top CEO's I spoke to this week. Why so grim? The short answer is, Athens. Greece's crippling debt and the deep cuts the government has imposed to start paying it off have focused minds in other western capitals on their own financial difficulties. Britain's new coalition government has already started belt tightening, beginning with the 5 percent cut to cabinet ministers' paychecks. Other government employees are sure to feel the pinch too. And everyone will face a bigger bill from the tax man. The U.S. will take on its deficit in earnest after the mid terms, when the bipartisan fiscal commission reports back to the president. It may be hard to sell politically, but ultimately, America, like western Europe, will have to stop consuming more than it produces. For business, Starbucks boss Howard Schultz told me the inevitable spending cuts and tax increases will mean catering to customers with less money and more fear. Hello, via (ph) instant coffee. Even the super rich are changing their ways. Robert Polet, the CEO of Gucci, says that in the developed world, his most popular logo today is no logo at all. People still want status symbols, but in the new age of austerity, they need to be very discreet. Just as the great depression changed buying behavior for a generation, smart CEO's are bracing themselves for a new breed of consumers who focus more on value and less on spending money they don't have. I'm Chrystia Freeland.
Market Focus with Tom Hudson
TOM HUDSON: Pretty much busy for all investors here. Heavy selling taking its toll on the major indices with the Dow industrials now less than 200 points away from that intraday flash crash low a couple of weeks back. Leading the market lower today, financial (XLF), industrial (XLI) and energy stocks (XLE). Financial investors selling as the Senate vote on financial regulation nears as we reported earlier. Industrial stocks dropping as sentiment shifts on this trend for the global economy and energy fell as oil prices closed below $70 a barrel hitting their lowest price since last September.
The market's latest high was set back on April 23. Since then some of the biggest losers reflect both the pessimism over the strength of the global economy and concerns here at home about regulatory reform. Take a look. Both the materials and energy sectors have dropped 15.5 percent since the market high just a few weeks ago while the financial sector is down just about the same. While these are certainly stiff losses in this bull market run, each of these sectors rallied strongly off those 2009 lows and in the case of the financial sector recall it more than doubled.
One result of the fear in the market is a rush into safety such as U.S. government bonds. Here's the yield on the benchmark 10-year government IOU dropping to its lowest level of the year, down to 3.2 percent. It was just back in early April, about six weeks ago when the yield touched 4 percent before heading lower while bond prices rallied in connections to worries about Europe. But other traditional safe havens did not really hold
up in today's sell off. Precious metals like gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) exchange-traded funds fell as you can see. Even a more diversified commodity exchange-traded fund (DBC) fell to a new low for the year as the U.S. dollar weakened slightly and the euro gained.
Now, one place we found, however, and found buyers was Mastercard (MA). Credit card processing firm, just a handful of gainers in the market. Shares in fact were up about 1.5 percent on the day, but clearly they've been under pressure as you can see by this 12-month chart as financial reform makes it way through Congress. One of the amendments that failed today would have allowed states to set interest rate caps on out of state credit cards. That failure is seen as bullish for Mastercard.
At the close tonight, Dell Computer (DELL) did not help improve the tone of the market really after turning in better than expected results. Now, Dell made $0.30 per share in profits in the first quarter and analysts expecting 26. Revenues and shipments growing each by more than 20 percent, but the stock was off by more than 5 percent after the news. A 12-month chart here coming into the report, Dell was weaker along with the broad market. Now a move below $14 tomorrow would take Dell stock down to a six-week low, one to watch.
Intuit (INTU) also worth watching tomorrow. Shares added to their losses after hours, slipping in at about 1 percent on its earning news as well. Let's get you updated here with results better than expected again. It raised its full year guidance thanks to a strong tax season from its Turbo Tax software. Initially the stock did catch a bit of an after-hours bid though before succumbing to more selling pressure.
Sears Holdings (SHLD) turned in a pretty soft earnings report, especially when compared to some of the other big retailers like Wal-Mart and Target we mentioned earlier in the week. Profit at Sears was two pennies per share. Analysts were expecting $0.14 a share. A significant miss there as promotions took a toll on profit margins and that took the toll on Sears stock dropping almost 11 percent. The stock has lost a third of its value just since late April.
One retailer that was able to fight against the market was discounter Ross Stores (ROST). The stock closed up 1 percent on heavy volume after expanding its margins and profits in the first quarter. SFN SFN GROUP Another retailer of sorts also finding some buyers, Advance Auto Parts (AAP) jumping more than 6 percent thanks to a strong first quarter. And again expanding profit margins were key to its performance. On the heels of the jump in weekly first-time unemployment claims we mentioned earlier, some employment firms really got hit in the sell-off today. Take a look at a trio. SNF (sic) (SFN) shedding 11 percent. Kelly Services (KELYA) losing 10 percent. Manpower (MAN) dropped more than 8 percent, all at the closing bell.
And that is tonight's "Market Focus."

Ebi Atawodi, the former General Manager for Uber West Africa, is now Product Manager, Global Payments Growth for Uber worldwide.
The news was first glimpsed via a tweet posted by Tavo Oviosu, CEO of Paga.
Her LinkedIn profile has also been updated to reflect the new role.
It is not stated what the job description is to a detail, but the title indicates she will be in charge of growing Uber's payment worldwide.
Ebi Atawodi who joined Uber as General Manager for Lagos operations and went on to become the General Manager of Uber West Africa has been pivotal to Uber's penetration in Nigeria.
Chief among her achievements been the inclusion of cash payments for riders in Lagos. As Nigeria is still very slow on the uptake of the cashless economy, this move was one of the greatest enablers for the company's penetration in Nigeria.
In his congratulatory tweet, Tayo Oviosu talked about a partnership that is eventually paying off. In January 2016 at the heart of the foreign exchange burn for Nigerians when the exchange rate was affecting the price of rides, Uber and Paga entered into a partnership.
The partnership enabled riders pay for their rides through their Paga app. With Paga as one of the biggest money transfer services in Nigeria, the partnership was also a very effective way of mitigating the payment troubles Uber riders in Nigeria faced.
It is not yet clear who replaces Ebi Atawodi as General Manager of Uber West Africa. But one thing is certain; if the vigour with which she attacked the payments problem in Nigeria is replicated globally, Uber is sky bound.

Climber dies in fall from Sedona's Bell Rock
Allie Bice
A 28-year-old woman fell to her death on Bell Rock in Sedona on Monday evening, according to Yavapai County officials.
Around 3:30 p.m, the woman called and explained to Yavapai County sheriff's deputies that she got stuck trying to climb down a steep section on the south side of Bell Rock. She told authorities she was a third of the way up the mountain and couldn't move, according to a Sheriff's Office statement.
Members of the Verde County Search and Rescue Team and an Arizona Department of Public Safety helicopter began searching for the 28-year-old early Monday evening. The woman was able to get in touch with deputies again around 5:30 p.m., telling them she was cold but doing OK, the statement said.
The temperature in Sedona at that time was in the mid 40s, according to the Weather Channel.
Rescuers couldn't immediately find the woman when they attempted to rappel down to her reported location around 6 p.m. It was soon discovered that she had fallen about 125 feet and died, officials said.
Deputies and searchers stayed on the site overnight and a recovery team retrieved the 28-year-old's body around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The woman's name was not being released pending family notification.
Yavapai County officials said the cause of the fall had not been determined.

God is our source energy. How we connect with the eternal and sacred nature of our being is the determinant to whether we live a life in the light or in darkness.
I like the way Rav Berg put it in his very readable and enlightening book, The Essential Zohar – The Source of Kabbalistic Wisdom.
Lao Tzu purportedly scribed the verses in the Tao Te Ching in the sixth century before the time of Jesus. In Lao Tzu's view things were said to create "unnatural" action (wei) by shaping desires (yu). The process of learning the names (ming) used in the doctrines helped one to make distinctions between good and evil, beautiful and ugly, high and low, and "being" (yu) and "non- being" (wu), thereby shaping desires. To abandon knowledge was to abandon names, distinctions, tastes and desires. Thus spontaneous behavior (wu-wei) resulted.
In the first four lines of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu eliminates the mystery by accepting it.
To further stimulate the exploration here are some notable quotes.

The Revised Texts
by Laura Ingalls Wilder
edited by Nancy Tystad Koupal
484 pages | black-and-white illutrations
$49.95, Hardback
AVAILABLE OCTOBER 15, 2021
"Pioneer Girl: The Revised Texts makes fresh observations that are sure to jump-start new debate and discussions centered on the writer-editor relationship between Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane. The annotations provide great documentary background and reveal the behind the scenes work that led to the now classic Little House series."
—William Anderson
For generations, the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder have defined the American frontier and the pioneer experience for the public at large. Pioneer Girl: The Revised Texts presents three typescripts of Wilder's original Pioneer Girl manuscript in an examination of the process through which she and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, transformed her autobiography into the much-loved Little House series. As the women polished the narrative from draft to draft, a picture emerges of the working relationship between the women, of the lives they lived, and of the literary works they created.
Editor Nancy Tystad Koupal and other editors of the Pioneer Girl Project provide a meticulous study of the Wilder/Lane partnership as Wilder's autobiography undergoes revision, and the women redevelop and expand portions of it into Wilder's successful children's and young adult novels and into Lane's bestselling adult novels in the 1930s. The three revised texts of Pioneer Girl, set side by side, showcase the intertwined processes of writing and editing and the contributions of writer and editor. In background essays and annotations, Koupal and her team of editors provide historical context and explore the ways in which Wilder or Lane changed and reused the material.
Wilder and Lane's partnership has been the subject of longstanding speculation, but Pioneer Girl: The Revised Texts is the first work to explore the women's relationship by examining the evolution of surviving manuscripts. Showcasing differences in the texts and offering numerous additional documents and handwritten emendations, the editors create a rich resource for scholars to use in assessing the editorial and writing principles, choices, and reasoning that Lane employed to shape the manuscripts for publication. Readers can follow along as Wilder grows into a novelist that "no depression could stop."
The New York Times best seller, Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography (2014), edited by Pamela Smith Hill, gave the general reader easy access to Wilder's original account for the first time, but that book only scratched the surface of available textual and archival materials. Ultimately, the editors of Pioneer Girl: The Revised Texts employ the rich resource of letters between Wilder and her publisher and between Wilder and Lane, along with rough drafts and false starts of the Little House books, to inform scholars and readers about the original manuscript's metamorphosis into novels and about the intriguing editorial relationship between Wilder and Lane. Pioneer Girl: The Revised Texts deepens our understanding of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the process through which she would ultimately become an icon of young adult literature.
(1867-1957) finished her autobiography, Pioneer Girl, in 1930 when she was sixty-three years old. Throughout the 1930s and into the early 1940s, Wilder utilized her original manuscript to write a successful series of books for young readers. Wilder died in Mansfield, Missouri, at ninety years of age on February 10, 1957.

We asked senior Emily Plourde, a combined major in graphic design and creative industries and the president of the Northeastern student group Haute Fashion, to explain why the Boston fashion scene doesn't get the credit it deserves.
When you think of fashion, your mind instantly gravitates toward cities such as New York and London. Boston, on the other hand, is known more as a growing technological hub than a fashion hotspot. Why bring Fashion Week here?
Boston is underrated in the fashion world. When I arrived in Boston to attend Northeastern, I didn't think I would ever feel like I was walking down a mini runway on my way to class. The opposite couldn't have been truer: More often than not, there are so many beautiful creations surrounding me. Have you strolled through the South End, Beacon Hill or Newbury Street at dusk? Fashion lives in Boston — you just need to know where to look.
Boston Fashion Week has been growing exponentially ever since it began in 1995. In the past few years, Boston has really been making its mark and holding its ground among the other big fashion cities.
How would you describe the fashion scene in Boston?
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what the fashion scene in Boston is like, but I'd classify it as a perfect mix of classic, daring elegance. I'd describe it as a bit more conservative than New York, but very experimental, especially when you consider the boots, jackets and scarves that we'll see on display this fall. They're out of control!
How can a college student in Boston go about reviving his or her closet without breaking the bank?
It's hard to build your wardrobe on a tight budget, but my advice would be to take it slow. Choose one item every few months that would enhance your closet, a classic piece like a little black dress, nude pumps or a handbag. Save up for that item and slowly but surely you'll have new stylish pieces that you can mix and match with other items.
Boston has some great stores like Second Time Around, which allow you to sell your old clothes, giving you money for new ones. Moreover, one of the best things about shopping as a Northeastern student is your Husky Card, which rewards you with great discounts at stores such as J. Crew, Club Monaco and Banana Republic. These are especially nice if you need a new closet for co-op.

Today was Chloe's Fall Party at school, and boy did it bring back memories of my teaching days…. and how I do NOT miss those parties! What a sugary mess! But, Chloe loved it as did everyone else in the class, and it was a great chance for me to meet Chloe's classmates and their parents. I thought Chloe would have such a sugar high that she wouldn't nap when we got home, but that wasn't the case. The excitement must have worn her out because I had to wake her from her nap at 5:30! Sadly, Cole did not have that great of a day today. He cried when I left him this morning, but only for about 30 seconds. When I picked him up today, Miss Jean said he would not eat or drink anything. I'm afraid it's the dreaded separation-anxiety. When I got him in the car, I gave him his two sippy cups of milk, and he downed them in no time. Poor thing! He was starving! Hopefully this is just a quick phase that will pass. My fingers are crossed!
Here are some pictures from Chloe's party.


Squamos cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common types of skin cancer. In the United States alone, it is estimated there are more than 200,000 new cases of SCC per year. Thanks to the advances in today's technology, we are able to offer the most state-of-the-art squamos cell carcinoma treatment available in Santa Clarita. Although most SCC's are not serious, a small percentage of cases can spread to other parts of the body, which can often times, be deathly.
The most common cause of SCC's is overexposure to the sun. Generally, tumors appear on the face, rim of the ears, neck, hands, shoulders, arms, back and bald scalp. Also, areas that have scars, burns and long-standing sores as a result of certain injuries may be more susceptible to developing squamos cell carcinoma. Very seldom does squamos cell carcinoma develop spontaneously on what may appear to be healthy skin.
Everyone has some risk of developing melanoma. Certain factors can increase one's risk in developing skin cancer, including: skin type, family history, sun exposure and the amount of moles present on the body.
People with fair skin are at a higher risk of developing melanoma.
If your mother, father, sibling or children have had melanoma, you have a 50 percent chance of being developing melanoma. While the risk is not as great, if your grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew has had the cancer, there is still an increased risk.
The risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, is increased by excessive exposure to UVA and UVB rays. While early childhood blistering sunburns can increase one's risk of developing melanoma, cumulative sun exposure is a larger factor. People living closer to the equator (Florida, Hawaii and Australia) receive more sunlight year round, therefore, the number of people developing skin cancer is greater. Using tanning beds can also increase your chance of developing melanoma and other types of skin cancer, so we recommend you avoid these.
As Squamos cell tumors first develop they are usually thick, coarse, horny and shallow. As they progress, they will develop a raised border and crusty surface. If an area persistently appears scaly, brownish-red and scaly, please contact us to schedule an evaluation as this could be precancerous. Also, if you notice any change in your skin that appears abnormal or won't heal, please contact us. Early detection is the key for successful treatment of precancers and cancers.
While there is no best treatment available for skin cancers and precancers, we offer a wide range of services to treat your individual case. Our doctors will work with you individually, considering a number of factors (location, size, type, etc.) to help determine the best type of treatment for you.

On 10/30/2016 at approx. 1000 hours, a male subject entered the Old Town General Store located at 9032 Elk Grove Boulevard, Elk Grove, and committed a robbery. The male subject displayed a note demanding money and took an undisclosed amount of U.S. Currency from the register. Through investigative efforts and tips from the community, the suspect was identified as 29-year-old Ridge PHILLIPS (booking photo attached). Officers arrested PHILLIPS late Wednesday evening after a vehicle stop. After conducting additional follow-up, detectives have been unable to connect Phillips to the robbery at Tiger's Yogurt.
Just to clarify, the subject placed a note on the counter stating, i have a gun, and then told the clerk open the drawer or i will blow your head off. Thank you to everyone who helped the capture of this man and the elk grove p.d.


[Diagnostic imaging in refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. A comparison of MR volumetry and multivoxel-MR-spectroscopy for assessment of postoperative prognosis].
Stefan H1, Eberhardt KE, Pauli E, Schäfer I, Paulus W, Kasper B, Kerling F, Hopp P, Tomandl BF, Buchfelder M, Huk WJ.
While the importance of magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, volumetry, and T2-relaxometry for preoperative localization has already been verified, the question arises as to what extent the individual techniques are useful for assessing postoperative prognosis with respect to seizures and neuropsychological outcome. In a prospective comparative study, 26 patients were examined preoperatively with a 1.5 T whole-body scanner. The MR spectroscopy was taken by high resolution 1 H proton spectroscopy, the volumetry with MP rage technique. The postoperative outcome was laid down using Engel's classification. Our results show that the metabolic changes can be divided into three groups using MR spectroscopy: unilateral, slightly bilateral, and severely bilateral to contralateral. In case of bilateral changes, the severity of metabolic changes in the nonoperated, contralateral side was decisive for postoperative outcome. The results from volumetry did not correlate with postoperative outcome.

My home studio is a built out dry basement with about 2/3 of the space taken up by my painting work area, digital image editing work area, bookcases and some studio storage. The ceiling height is only 8 feet so all the large paintings are 24 inches or so in height.
What do you paint on and how to you prepare the surface?
I prefer to paint on mounted linen panels, which I make myself using 1/2-inch Trupan Ultralight MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). These panels are 1/3 the weight of commercial MDF, never warp and require no cradling. I purchase them in 4 x 8 sheets and cut them to size on a table saw. To these I attach high quality portrait grade Belgian linen using Lineco Neutral pH Adhesive. After drying overnight I apply two coats of Gamblin Oil Painting Ground (alkyd resin, titanium dioxide, and calcium carbonate) with an inexpensive 3-inch disposable brush thinned with a bit of solvent to make it easier to apply, sanding with 150-grit sandpaper in between coats. Then I go over the whole thing with a 6-inch high density foam roller, evening out the ridges from the brush marks until the surface is consistently smooth. The panels are baked in full sun which makes them dry to the touch in a couple of days instead of a week or more indoors, and lightly sand again. On panels only (no mounted linen) I apply two coats of Premium Ultra Pure white 100% Acrylic Latex house paint, sanding in-between coats. After drying overnight I apply two coats of Gamblin Oil Painting Ground finshing off as described above.
What do you use for an easel and palette?
My easel is an antique French-made upright floor design of unknown manufacture. It is large and heavy and features a machined steel hand-crank mechanism for effortlessly raising and lowering the transom that holds the canvas or panel. Under the transom is a built-in paint box on top of which I have added a larger modified transom that measures 12 x 36 inches. On top of that is a piece of 1/4-inch beveled-edge plate glass which serves as my palette. In between the transom and glass is a piece of neutral gray matte board whose value is similar to an under-painting grisaille. To the right of the easel is large glass covered work table for paint, brushes and other tools with storage space underneath for other art materials. Rollover the inset image above to see the set up.
What colors comprise your working oil palette?
Arranged along top edge of my palette from left to right are: Cad Yellow Lemon (Rembrandt); Cad Yellow Medium (Rembrandt); Cad Yellow Deep (Holbien); Raw Sienna (Williamsburg); Chinese Orange (Sennelier); Fanchon (Napthol) Red (Williamsburg); Quinacridone Magenta (Sennelier); Opera (Holbien); Perylene Crimson (Williamsburg); Viridian (Williamsburg); Ultramarine Blue Deep (Holbien); Indigo (Williamsburg); Warm Grey (Sennelier); Cool Grey (Sennelier); My white is Brilliant Yellow Extra Pale. When neccessary I also make use of Manganese Blue (Old Holland); Turkey Umber (Williamsburg); Burnt Sienna Deep (Blockx). I use Titanium Zinc White (Gamblin) sparingly for the purest specular highlights.
What colors comprise your working watercolor palette?
Arranged around a ceramic Quiller Palette. from the top clockwise are: Gamboge (Rowney); Olive Green (W&N); Perylene Green (W&N); Viridian (Rowney); Cerulean Blue (Sennelier); Winsor Blue Green Shade (W&N); Ultramarine Blue (M. Graham); Perylene Maroon (Daniel Smith); Brown Madder (Holbein); Permanent Rose (W&N); Scarlet Lake (W&N); Burnt Sienna (Holbein); Raw Sienna Deep (Da Vinci).
Do you use a medium in your oil painting?
Maroger Painting Medium from Old Masters, Flemish formulation. I can't imagine oil painting without this magical medium and its handling properties and set up time, especially on mounted linen. The only downside is that it's very smelly. I have adequate ventilation so I can deal with it. I also keep three large pickle jars of Odorless Mineral Spirits (OMS) handy. One for constant dipping into — especially for the underpainting — one for cleaning, and one for pouring off OMS too contaminated to reuse anymore. When the completed painting is fully dry I varnish it with one coat of Old Masters Mastic Varnish.
Oil brushes are Winsor & Newton Monarch and/or Princeton Art & Brush Co. filberts and some flats, sizes 0 through 12. Most paintings are completed with only a No. 0, 2 and 4 Filbert. I blend with old discontinued Langnickel Series 408 LT Regis brushes, sizes 2 and 4.
What lighting is in your studio?
Primary painting lighting is provided by two 48-inch overhead industrial light fixtures each fitted with two True Lite F40-T12 Full Spectrum industrial light tubes. These lights provide balanced 5700K, 2200 lumen light with a very high 92 CRI (Color Rendering Index). 65-watt daylight floods provide additional overhead lighting. Opposite my easel and drafting table is a large glass sliding patio-style door that provides east/south-east light most of the day. I photograph all of my work outside in bright overcast ambient light.

Q: Why are endline characters illegal in HTML string sent over ajax? Within HTML, it is okay to have endline characters. But when I try to send HTML strings that have endline characters over AJAX to have them operated with JavaScript/jQuery, it returns an error that says that endline characters are illegal. For example, if I have a Ruby string:
"
Hello
"

and jsonify it with Ruby by to_json, and send it over ajax, parse it within JavaScript by JSON.parse, and insert that in jQuery like:
$('body').append('
Hello
');

then it does not return an error, but if I do a similar thing with a string like
"
Hello\n
"

it returns an error. Why are they legal in HTML and illegal in AJAX? Are there any other differences between a legal HTML string loaded as a page and legal HTML string sent over ajax?

A: string literals can contain line breaks, they just need to be escaped with a backslash like so:
var string = "hello\
world!";

However, this does not create a line break in the string, as it must be an explicit \n escape sequence. This would technically become helloworld. Doing
var string = "hello"
+ "world"

would be much cleaner

A: Specify the type of the ajax call as 'html'.  Jquery will try to infer the type when parsing the response.
If the response is json, newlines should be escaped.
I'd recommend using a library to serialize json.  You're unlikely to handle all the edge cases if you roll your own.

A: Seeing how you're already escaping the JSON properly by using to_json in Ruby, I do believe the bug is in jQuery; when there are newlines in the string it has trouble determining whether you meant to create a single element or a document fragment. This would work just fine:
var str = "
Hello\n
";

var wrapper = document.createElement('div');
wrapper.innerHTML = str;

$('body').append(wrapper);

Demo

A: Strings in JavaScript MUST appear on a single line, with the exception of escaping that line:
var str = "abc \
def";

However note that the newline is escaped and will not appear in the string itself.
The best option is \n, but note that if it is already going through something that parses \n then you will need to double-escape it as \\n.

Update on Cesaro Since WWE Release; Possibility of Him Returning to WWE
– Not much has been heard of from former WWE star Cesaro, who was released earlier this year. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Cesaro is purposely laying low for some time and is taking some time off for family reasons as he has a young child. However, he remains a free agent and did trademark a new name if he decides to sign with another promotion. AEW President Tony Khan has spoke highly of Cesaro in the past but it's unclear if any official offer has been made.
– The report adds that given his age and previous tenure with WWE, there is a feeling that he will return to WWE even though at this point, it's become clear that the company will never use him as a main eventer. Cesaro has discussed doing Starrcast with Conrad Thompson but if he were to return to WWE, he wouldn't be allowed to do that or any other outside projects that he's expressed interest in.

The Dickens Collection: An Audible Exclusive Series
Written by: Charles Dickens, Howard Jacobson
Narrated by: Matt Lucas, Howard Jacobson
In this Audible Exclusive performance by Matt Lucas of Great Expectations, Charles Dickens demonstrates that conscience, loyalty and empathy are virtues far more valuable than intellect, wealth and social standing. First published in Dickens' own periodical, All the Year Round, the novel was divided into nine monthly instalments, from December 1860 to August 1861. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and managed to sell over 100,000 copies per week. Though written at a challenging time in Dickens' life, when the impending breakdown of his marriage loomed over him, Great Expectations proves to be one of his most optimistic, comical and romantic novels.

Written by: Lauren Willig
Narrated by: Barrie Kreinik
Annabelle and Bayard Van Duyvil live a charmed life in New York: He's the scion of an old Knickerbocker family, she grew up in a Tudor house in England, they had a fairy-tale romance in London, and he's recreated her family home on the banks of the Hudson. Yes, there are rumors that she's having an affair with the architect, but rumors are rumors. But then Bayard is found dead with a knife in his chest on the night of their Twelfth Night Ball; Annabelle goes missing, presumed drowned; and the papers go mad.
Russia, 1915: At the age of 16, Georgy Jachmenev steps in front of an assassin's bullet intended for a senior member of the Russian Imperial Family and is instantly proclaimed a hero. Before the week is out, his life as the son of a peasant farmer is changed forever when he is escorted to St Petersburg to take up his new position - as bodyguard to Alexei Romanov, the only son of Tsar Nicholas II.
Sixty-Five years later, visiting his wife Zoya as she lies dying in a London hospital, memories of the life they have lived together flood his mind. Their marriage, while tender, has been marked by tragedy, the loss of loved ones and experiences of exile that neither can forget.

I found it hard to know what to say about this book. It was not at all what I expected. At some points the story dragged and then it became predictable about 2/3 in. I get pretty annoyed when a story's ending or secret is realized before it ends; I tend to stop listening. But this story did hold me and towards the end I couldn't stop listening. I thought of the book long after it was finished.
The book is beautifully written and an amazing story based on a real tragedy. I do very much like this author.


The signature of the executor.
If the property is being conveyed to a third party, it's advisable for the heirs of the decedent to execute the deed in conjunction with the executor. This will prevent future challenges to the conveyance by the heirs.
In most states, an executor's deed must be signed by a witness and notarized. An executor's deed should be recorded in the real estate records of the county in which the property being conveyed is located.
What is the Difference between an Executor's Deed and an Administrator's Deed?
Although an executor's deed and an administrator's deed accomplish the same goal – transferring title to the property of the decedent – they are not the same. An administrator's deed is used to transfer the property of a decedent who died without a will. The probate court must appoint an administrator and vest him with the power to transfer title to the decedent's real estate.
Can the Heirs of the Decedent Sell the Property without the Consent of the Executor?
If a person dies with a will, title to his real estate vests in the executor subject to approval of the probate court. This means that the decedent's heirs cannot sell the property without the consent of the executor because they have no legal interest in it. Until such time as the executor transfers title to the property to the heirs, they have no authority to sell it. However, if the heirs wish to sell the property and the executor determines that selling it will be in the best interests of the estate, he may do so. In such instances, the net proceeds of the sale would be distributed to the heirs pursuant to the terms of the decedent's will.
If you have been named as an executor of a person's estate and plan to sell property of the estate, you should speak with a qualified real estate attorney. A real estate attorney will draft the executor's deed in conformance with state law, assist you in properly executing it, and will have it recorded in the county property records.
