Americans paused to remember their missing service members Friday,POW/MIA Recognition Day.The iconic white on black flag of the National League of Families was widely flown and displayed in posters and Internet graphics.A total of 83,417 members of the US Armed Forces remain unaccounted for from the nation's wars.Most of the MIAs went missing in World War II,the Korean War and the Vietnam War.This blog will never forget them and supports the ongoing effort to bring them all home.
On a less somber note,the New York Yankees continued their run atop the American League East Friday night by beating the Oakland As 2-1 in extra innings in the Bronx.The Yankee stadium crowd was thrilled by catcher Russell Martin's walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning.At Fenway Park in Boston,the Baltimore Orioles stayed one game back of the Yankees by defeating the Boston Red Sox 4-2.
At East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta,American Jim Furyk mastered the tricky course with an excellent second round 7 under par 64 at the Tour Championship by Coca-Cola.England's Justin Rose was second on the leader board with his 6 under par 68.Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were well back at 12th and 16th place,respectively.

Philly Fed Survey Major Factor
A major factor in depressing the market this week was the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's Business Outlook Survey for August,which covers manufacturing in Eastern Pennsylvania,Southern New Jersey and Delaware.The survey's broadest measure of manufacturing activity fell off a cliff,dropping from 3.2 in July to -30.7 in August.New factory orders,shipments and employment were all down markedly.The six month growth outlook declined to slightly favorable to expansion.
For the week,the S&P 500 Index was down 4.69.On Friday,the Reuters-Jefferies/CRB commodity index rose 3.05,reflecting an increase in agricultural and gold futures prices.The S&P 500 is now down 10.66 on the year.It is in severe correction.
Next week,the market will deal with new home sales,durable goods orders,GDP and consumer sentiment reports.The S&P futures were down a sharp 19.50 Friday evening,while bond index futures were mixed,with the ten year Treasury futures being unchanged.
Two South Koreans,Na Yeon Choi and Grace Park,led the LPGA's Safeway Classic at the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club near Portland,Oregon after the first round on Friday.Choi shot a five under par 66;Park came in second at four under par.Coca-Cola co-sponsors the tournament.
Update:At the end of the second round on Saturday,Na Yeon Choi still led the Safeway Classic at eight under par,but American Stacy Lewis had moved into second place at five under.Grace Park fell back to fourth position,tied with Americans Ryann O'Toole and Brittany Lincicome.
