You know what it is, your alma mater. And FWIW, I would never be lewd with you, unless we were friends of course. :-)

nytimes.com September 2, 2003 Stocks Up After Factory and Job Data By REUTERS Filed at 3:20 p.m. ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks jumped on Tuesday as investors found more evidence of a U.S. economic recovery in a report on factory activity. The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) rose 97.34 points, or 1.03 percent, to 9,513.16. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index (.SPX) added 12.81 points, or 1.27 percent, at 1,020.82. The technology-laced Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) gained 25.14 points, or 1.39 percent, to 1,835.59. The Institute for Supply Management released broadly positive data on manufacturing activity but its reading on factory jobs showed employment levels were falling. ISM said its gauge of manufacturing activity was 54.7 for August, up from 51.8 in July and above economists' average forecast of 53.8, according to a Reuters poll. A reading above 50 indicates a growing factory sector.
