NEW YORK (AP) - Wall Street closed out a volatile week and month with a comparatively mild performance Friday, ending mostly higher on encouraging words from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The major indexes ended the week with gains, but still posted big declines for November.
A Christmas lesson from a little boy It is sickening the way businesses commercialize the birth of Jesus by turning it into a profit-oriented, monthlong shopping extravaganza. What is worse is the way American consumerism and materialism play directly into their hands. We put a price tag on love and gift wrap joy, and deceive ourselves so much that we forget their true meaning.

Morrison writes from Dawson to relatives in Sacramento giving an outline of the situation in Dawson: People are arriving daily without food to last 30 days, 75 people arrived yesterday, only four with provisions.

I keep hearing the war in Iraq will be the deciding factor in the 2008 elections. I also hear health-care issues will carry the day.

These issues don't really get to the core of why people are so eager for change.
Hitler spoke of a "thousand-year Reich." Chances are good that exhausted American voters, entering the third year of presidential electioneering, are feeling there is a thousand-year campaign here: appearance after appearance, debate after debate, press release after media statement, an endless parade of faces we can barely identify with names.

Nevada's per capita rate of gun deaths is among the highest in the nation, but there is no simple or quick way to change that. Many of the murders that occur in our state are tied into the murky world of drug and gang violence, issues the state has already recognized and is taking initial steps to control. It won't be easy, and even if stricter gun laws could be enacted in Nevada - a longshot in a state proud of its pro-gun heritage - that alone would not likely prove to be the answer.

Identity theft apparently comes in many forms, as Carolyn found out this week. Someone told her that they had seen a scathing review of a local restaurant online, with her name as the author, and asked her about it. She was appalled, since she hadn't written it, and contacted the online site immediately. After a couple of e-mails, they removed her name and the "review." It goes to show how easily it is to defame both a restaurant and the writer, and further shows how important it is for some form of verification by the site. The anonymity of the Internet can be a vengeful thing sometimes.
