I write about tech stocks and the startup economy.
The flaws with Apple Maps and previously with Apple's voice recognition software, Siri, reveal some deep flaws with Tim Cook's work as CEO. You might think that Tim Cook is doing a spectacular job. After all, since taking over as CEO on August 24, 2011, Apple stock has risen 74%, and its revenues and profits have soared 66% and 85% in the last year.
But since the Apple Maps fiasco, Apple has lost $30 billion in stock market value, reports The Guardian. At the core of this loss in value may well be the gap between the technical reality of a new product and the way that product is sold to the public. Plenty of technologies are imperfect when they are first sold to the public. It appears as though Apple Maps had so many flaws — I pointed out its six most epic fails – that Apple could be rotting from the stem down.
How so? Either Cook was not aware of the problems with Apple Maps — in which case he is showing that he does not care about the quality of the products that Apple makes. Or Cook knew about the flaws and decided to launch the iPhone 5 anyway. And if he did the latter, the messaging Cook used to describe the product set expectations that were far better than the reality. And one of the most basic principles of marketing anything is that it is far better to exceed diminished expectations than to fall short of exuberant ones.
A case in point is the way Apple's web site described the product before the launch. As TheGuardian pointed out, the words were: "Designed by Apple from the ground up, maps gives you turn-by-turn spoken directions, interactive 3D views, and the stunning flyover feature. All of which may just make this app the most beautiful, powerful mapping service ever." Those italics are mine — and they highlight just how oversold Apple Maps was.
The core of Apple's problem may be an Apple executive by the name of Scott Forstall. As former Apple executive Jean-Louis Gasse pointed out, Forstall was behind the flawless Apple Maps demo and those flowery adjectives. And Forstall's demo of the buggy Siri "seemed not only to understand every question he put to it, but to have a snappy answer. It has not worked so well in the wild, at least not for me," according to Fortune's Phillip Elmer-Dewitt.
Perhaps the long knives are out in the hallways of Apple. But an October 2011 BusinessWeek profile of Forstall paints him as a mercurial, polarizing figure who has all the traits of a successful corporate politician. That is he stabs his rivals in the back and does a wonderful job of making his bosses feel like he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
To wit, the article points out that other executives will not attend Tim Cook-led meetings with Forstall and "Some former associates of Forstall, none of whom would comment on the record for fear of alienating Apple, say he routinely takes credit for collaborative successes [and] deflects blame for mistakes."
Unfortunately, there is something deeply wrong if Cook cannot manage Apple well enough to keep such basic mistakes from happening. And this does not even include the terrible problems Apple's supplier, FoxConn has been having — the 23 killed making your iWorld, the 32,000 students forced to build your iPhone 5 or face expulsion, or the 1,000 FoxConn workers rioting to protest bad working conditions — that do not seem to concern Apple investors or customers.
While those worker issues do not cost Apple shareholders money or seem to trouble its customers enough for them to stop buying its products, they are a further indictment of the problems with Tim Cook's management approach.
He should solve them. If not, Apple's board should find someone who will.

iOS 6 Map Flap: Should Apple Let Users Select Alternate Default Apps?
What Do Apple Employees Think Of The iOS 6 Maps App?
Not even sure what to say about this article.
I just wonder why it's o are to find factual knowledge based information and insights on Apple! It's either rabbid Apple Can Do No Wrong Fanbois or stuff like this. Anti-Apple silliness that predicts doom and gloom with worthless commentaries based upon anonymous sources cited in other blogs. This is Forbes?
I've made a TREMENDOUS amount of money on Apple and stayed in through yellow screens, antennagate, etc., and I trust I still will. My problem is when people like this guy pretend they have any insight worth reading.
Apple's Labor issues have been arguably better since Tim took over, and as for the Maps issue: does MobileMe, Ping, and iAds ring a bell? Those were during the era of Jobs! It's unreasonable to expect Apple to not make any mistakes, and I find it appalling that a single application makes you blind to the fact that the iPhone 5 is the closest thing we have to a perfect smartphone……? Yes Tim screwed up on this one but Jobs wasn't perfect either, and I highly doubt that Jobs would have even apologized like Tim Cook did!
Ultimately, it is on his head. But one mistake does not necessarily mean that that head needs to be dropped. I personally admire the spirit of independence that doing their own maps shows. & I don't think that it is out of line in the traditions of independence of the Jobs era. Don't make mountains out of mole hills. Apple has always been head strong. This is just apple, being apple. Nothing more.
This seems like a rather silly and transparent effort to attempt to keep the "MapGate"-fest going. Just as Wall Street is upset that the iPhone 5 "only" sold to 5 million customers in its first weekend, the hand-wringing over Apple's new Maps app is largely a tempest in a teapot, of vastly greater interest to tech and financial "analysts" eager to wring more clicks out of their potential readership.
For the most part, the new Maps works just fine. It'll certainly improve. It made zero strategic sense, or less, for Apple to keep providing detailed information on iPhone users to Google while both paying for the privileged and being denied things like turn-by-turn navigation on the iOS platform.
If Google wants to keep maps as a competitive advantage for Android, Apple's surely not obligated to assist them by providing their mapping a place in the default install. And if Google has been so comatose as to fail to notice that Apple's been buying up cartography-related companies for three years now, that's not Apple's fault, either.
Just as "AntennaGate" — another largely contrived "massive failure" on Apple's part — failed to make the slightest dent in iPhone 4 sales, "MapGate" isn't going to have even a slight effect on iPhone 5 sales, despite the efforts of folks who can't find anything better to write about to make it into something significant.
Unfortunately, there is something deeply wrong if Cook cannot manage Apple well enough to keep such basic mistakes from happening.
What basic mistakes? The maps contract ended in a year, Google asked too much for a renewal and didn't allow turn-by-turn directions, so Apple had to dump them and go on their own.
They made worse mistakes under Jobs, like the continued incompetence of their online services like MobileMe, the Ping service that got nowhere, etc.
And this does not even include the terrible problems Apple's supplier, FoxConn has been having — the 23 killed making your iWorld, the 32,000 students forced to build your iPhone 5 or face expulsion, or the 1,000 FoxConn workers rioting to protest bad working conditions — that do not seem to concern Apple investors or customers.
What this BS has to do with Cook or anything? The exact same FoxConn factories are used by ALL major consumer electronics companies. What happens there is not Apple's concern — and workers protesting working conditions can also happen in California or wherever.
OR….perhaps it is morons like you, you have no idea that EVERY software released Live will suffer bugs and glitches regardless of the company, as can be seen on EVERY companies Support Forum Websites (which only account for maybe half of those contacting support). Bethesda, a game developer- which creates SOFTWARE content, created a game called Skyrim for the Xbox, PS3 and PC markets….we're not able to offer the same DLC content to PS3 users, even though PC and Xbox got them. That's 2 significant priced DLCs of profit they have lost….which would equal about $30 million as well. Do they suffer some incompetent CEO due to software issues? Does EVERY company suffer the same due to software issues?
It is just the nature of the beast, when software goes from Testing to Live…and no amount of Beta or Alpha tests will stop them happening completely. Admitting to the glitches and bugs, as Cook did, along with offering suggestions and work arounds is what a smart, customer centric company does. Try going after with the lynch mob to all the other companies who claim it is the users fault instead.
Steve Jobs, in 1997, said: Some mistakes will be made along the way thats good it means there are decisions being made and when we find mistakes we'll fix them We need to support that team Mistakes will be made, some people will be pissed off, some don't know what they are talking about.
There were articles yesterday also saying that Google Earth makes the same mistakes that Apple Maps does.
There was one that told of how the Maps situation happened to be at this point regarding it's licensing and more with Google.
There was an article saying Apple's Maps Is A Black Eye, Nothing More by JIM DALRYMPLE- TechCrunch, Macworld. Jim Dalrymple is a former Editor at Large at Macworld, and contributing expert on Apple-related topics on CNN, Fox, CBS and ABC.
There are also by many users that they like Apple Maps.
Consumer Reports said yesterday that Apple Maps performed well and tested it along side Google maps. You can see that if you search it.
There are many more of the same type of report, and opinions who don't think it's time to start throwing stones at Tim Cook or that Apple is in dire trouble.
This seems like an article that is trying to stir up trouble, that perhaps does not exist or portray a situation as being more than it is? I was very surprise by the tone of this report personally. I am used to seeing such comments or thoughts made by Android users who show up on the commenting section of any Apple article written. I agree with what Steve Jobs said when he had returned to Apple in 1997. The video is online also.
I was surprised that this was posted on Forbes. Many products are released on the market for sale that have problems, are recalled, and worse. I thought it was refreshing to have a CEO actually deal directly with the matter with an I'm sorry and the grace of setting up a Maps section in the App store even before the apology was made public, so that customers who didn't know of alternatives would be able to have the apps and mapping services they require.
My keyboard is dying, leaving me writing without proper punctuation, making typing very difficult. I apologize for that.
I think this is all really blown out of proportion. So far, I have had a great experience with the turn-by-turn navigation – it is quick, easy to use, looks great and has not lead me in the wrong direction (yet). Also, the 3-D buildings look really good and are fun to explore.
Sure the options are limited and bugs need to be worked out, but I see no reason to blow this way out of proportion….Apple and Tim Cook will go on!
Well '$30 Billion Mistake' sure makes for an attention grabbing headline!
The fact that this is less than 5% of AAPL's market cap seems not to be mentioned and such a small market cap move would not warrant any comment, let questioning the CEO's management skills, for pretty much any other company.
The fact that the revered Mr. Jobs presided over significantly greater adverse moves in the company's market cap (Jan 2008 and Oct 2008, to name but two) also seems to be overlooked.
Oh, and what about MobileMe and Antennagate? The implication in the article seems to be that Apple product 'flaws' are a new trend under Tim Cook's regime. Hardly.
And on the subject of Foxconn — it also doesn't seem to bother the shareholders / customers of the other companies that use them (e.g. Amazon, Samsung, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft)
You may also care to do some analysis on the pattern of AAPL's tock price following product launches (and earning results) to see if this is anything out of the ordinary…
Truthfully, I expected better journalism from Forbes, rather than jumping on the bandwagon of Apple sensationalism to generate clicks.
Apple Maps has not let me down. It gives me fast perfect turn-by-turn-verbal directions. I suppose some other features like traffic reports and exact locations of a business need improvement (It took google three years to properly locate my business after a dozen requests). But for the main reason that I use Maps, it is a great application

By STAN MOORE
Special to the Record-Eagle
---- — At the 2013 Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference, attendees learned how milk's carbon footprint has reduced over time while still proving to be a nutrient dense food.Carbon footprint is a commonly heard term. We use it to talk about industries, individual businesses and even individual animals.
When it comes to milk and milk production, the term has also been measured in a variety of ways. Perhaps the best method to measure it is CO2 produced per gallon of milk produced. We drink milk by the gallon, and the number of cows, farms and the size of the dairy industry are ultimately driven by the gallons of milk we consume.
So how does milk fare on CO2 per gallon of milk? At the 2013 Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference, Dr. Dale Bauman, professor emeritus with Cornell University, talked about the progress milk has made over the years. Dr. Bauman shared research showing that "the carbon footprint of a unit of milk produced in 2007 is only 37 percent of that in 1944."
The fact is that the modern dairy cow produces more milk, more efficiently, than the 1944 cow. So despite the footprint per cow being larger, the footprint per unit of milk is smaller. Dr. Bauman went on to share that as an industry, dairy produced 59 percent more milk in 2007 than in 1944 while producing a carbon footprint that was 41 percent lower than that of 1944.
But milk is more than just a good bet on the CO2 front; it also is a nutrient rich food. A Dairy Research Institute figure shared at the GLRDC (from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006) indicated that although milk and dairy products typically contribute about 10 percent of our daily calories, milk and dairy contribute much more than that in essential nutrients.
In fact dairy products contribute 58 percent of our vitamin D, 51 percent of our calcium, 28 percent of our vitamin A and phosphorus, 26 percent of our vitamin B12, and 25 percent of our riboflavin. In addition, milk provides more than 10 percent of protein (18 percent), zinc (16 percent), potassium (16 percent), and magnesium (13 percent).
So enjoy that next glass of cold milk, yogurt, cheese or other dairy product, knowing that it is produced by an industry that has reduced its carbon footprint, and that you are consuming a nutrient rich, great-tasting food.
Stan Moore is a Michigan State University Extension dairy educator in Antrim County.

Hundred of Long Islanders found their way to a line outside the doors of the Suffolk County office buildings in Hauppauge on Monday night, many not sure what to expect. Each stumbled in, looked around and was greeted with a 'Do you need help?' as they were handed a bag of food.
The Red Cross's fixed food distribution site in the H. Lee Dennison Building off Route 347 has been handing out food since Friday, giving out more than 4,000 meals a day to those suffering the impact of Hurricane Sandy.
"We are getting a couple hundred of people per meal that come in for themselves. We are also getting church groups and senior centers that come and we are giving them bulk distribution," said Thomas Triplett, Red Cross Disaster Management coordinator at the Hauppauge site.
Triplett, who has flown in from Bloomington, Ind., said the Red Cross is receiving two food shipments a day to Hauppauge. The first is a morning delivery for lunch, served from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., and a second delivery for dinner, served from 4 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
"As long as we have food, we don't shut down in between meals. People can come in and pick up food for themselves, they can get for other family members and their neighbors," said Laurie Haibeck, a Red Cross disaster mental health expert from Chicago.
Long Islanders are being encourage to take food for themselves, family members and any elderly or shut-in neighbors. There is no limit on how many people one person can pick up food for.
"We are trying to get the food into people's hands and we understand that many people don't have gas. They can get what they need, there's no rationing," Haibeck said.
On Monday night, teen volunteers helped the Red Cross pass out cold sandwiches, pretzels and bottled water or juices.
"There's a bunch of high school kids with us who have been here for several days now. They're amazing, we wouldn't be able to work without them," Triplett said. "There are only really three of us from the Red Cross - it could be just three of us trying to help."
The Red Cross feeding site is still awaiting the arrival of hot meals for distribution, meanwhile relying on passing out heater meals stocked up by local chapters of the organization.
The heater meals are very similar to military issued MREs, or meals ready to eat. The packets come with chemical heating agents to warm the food for those with no access to a working oven or stove.
For some waiting on line, the prospect of a hot meal was attractive despite the packaging.
"Folks simply can't afford to eat out every meal," Triplett said.
One woman, staying with friends and family in Deer Park after Hurricane Sandy, said that while temporarily staying with 14 other people without power any food or resource she could bring back and contribute would make life a little bit easier.
As Long Island prepares for a Nor'easter to strike Wednesday, the Red Cross workers said they are prepared for anything. Other fixed-location feeding sites exist in Mastic and Riverhead, while it continues to run "seek and feed" vans that drive the harder hit communities distributing meals.
For those who have food, but might be in need of someone to talk to, the Red Cross offers a 24-hour Mental Health Hotline at 1-800-985-5990.

The Edmond Sun
Edmond Public School this week renamed the EPS Administrative Center Technology Training Lab the David G. Fraser Technology Training Lab. Superintendent David Goin and Edmond School Board members named the lab after Fraser, who died in December 2012, in recognition of his 22 years of service to the Edmond School District.
The lab was renamed in honor of the man who was employed by the EPS in 1990 and served in various roles including Business Manager, Director of Technology and Chief Financial Officer.
"David took primary responsibility for the business, finance and technology areas of the district including presiding over the integration of the district's vast technology needs and infrastructure development for more than a decade," Goin read from the proclamation.
He went on to say, "David was a man of integrity, honesty and reliability, a man who had high performance expectations for himself and who passed along his deep sense of purpose and direction to all with whom he worked; and acknowledging that David Fraser's expertise, abilities and humanity contributed greatly to the success of this district, with great affection we rename the lab."
Goin said the school board members will make a donation to the Edmond Schools Foundation in the name of David Fraser.
District receives audit
District Treasurer Lori Smith introduced Mary Johnson, a partner with the CPA firm Rahhal Henderson Johnson PLLC who presented the results of the Independent Audit of Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Statements.
Johnson reported there were no material weaknesses nor significant deficiencies in internal controls identified during the audit, and there were no audit findings with regard to the compliance with federal programs.
She stated a report of conditions identified which were not material enough to qualify the audit opinion but which should be addressed by management.
The first condition concerned the timeliness and accuracy of deposits.
"During the time of testing of activity fund receipts, six out of 60 were not deposited within one business day. In these instances the teacher turned in the money to the financial secretary the day after it was collected," Johnson said. "In two out of 60 receipts tested, the teacher's collection sheet did not agree to the financial secretary's deposit. In both of these instances the teacher's list had compilation errors which were adjusted by the financial secretary when making the deposit but were not corrected on the teacher's list."
The second condition was that not all departments maintain inventories of supplies, parts, etc., and complete year-end physical counts.
"The district will implement inventory procedures in the current year for departments needing them (custodial, transportation and maintenance departments) and will obtain year-end inventory values in the current and future years which will be recorded in the district financial statements," Johnson said.

From submitted reports
Submitted report
McALESTER —
The story of Savanna pitching ace Bryn Houlton hasn't yet ended. But however the final text will read, it will certainly contain this line:
Houlton never lost a Pitt 8 Tournament championship.
Houlton gave up no runs and just two hits in five innings, striking out seven and leading the Lady Bulldogs to an 8-0 run-rule win against the Stuart Lady Hornets in Thursday's championship at the Pittsburg County Softball Complex in McAlester. Savanna won the Pitt 8 fastpitch softball tournament for the fourth consecutive year.
"She's just throwing well," Savanna coach Angie Wilson said of Houlton, who's still recovering from a torn medial collateral ligament she suffered in May.
"She's been in a brace for eight weeks, so I thought she might not, but she's throwing well. She's probably not throwing as hard as she was at the end of last year, but she's close."
The Lady Hornets' only real scoring chance came in the top of the second, which began with Emilee Beck reaching on an error. Jessie Jones singled up the middle, moving Beck to second, but Kayla Smith popped a pitch high into the air above home plate.
Savanna catcher Jordin Wilson couldn't catch the ball, but the infield fly rule went into effect for an automatic out. Both runners tried to move up a bag after the ball hit the dirt, but Wilson threw out Jones at second base to complete an unusual double play.
"As soon we saw the ball hit the ground and bounce off the catcher's shin-guard, both of us yelled 'go,'" Stuart coach Chance Chapman said. "I thought it was going to run back here to the on-deck circle."
Despite having to deal with a runner at third, the suddenly two outs might've taken some pressure off Houlton. She got Megan Jernigen to fly out to center to end the inning, then retired nine of the final 10 batters she faced.
"I relaxed a lot," Houlton said. "Just get on top of them and pitch my pitches."
Houlton also gave the Lady Dawgs the only run they'd need in the bottom of the first. With Hannah Cox at third, Houlton dropped a perfect bunt up the third base line, and Cox scored when Chassity Garvin couldn't field the suicide squeeze.
Three batters later, Baleigh Drake made it 2-0 with a grounder back to pitcher Makayla Clark. Despite there being two outs, Clark tried to throw home instead of to first, and Wilson beat the throw.
The sequence highlighted a night in which Stuart made too many mental mistakes to hang with a Savanna team dreaming of a Class 2A state championship. An errant throw by Garvin in the bottom of the third led to Savanna's third run of the game, and a series of errors led to three more runs in the bottom of the fourth.
Tannah Heddleston, Savanna's designated player and nine-hole hitter, led off the fourth with a single down the third base line, took second on a bunt single by Taylor Haynie, then raced home when Cox singled into center field. Stuart center fielder Cierra Chapman tried to throw Hailey Wilson, the runner who replaced Heddleston, out at the plate, but the ball got away from catcher Smith for one run.
The Lady Dawgs scored again when Smith's throw got away from Clark covering home plate, and two more errors allowed Cox to get to third. The Lady Dawgs then went up 6-0 on an RBI single by Houlton.
"We threw it around way to much and gave them way too many runs," Coach Chapman said. He added that to beat Savanna, the Lady Hornets "would've had to play flawless."
Heddleston led off the bottom of the fifth with a single almost identical to her fourth-inning single. Savanna leadoff hitter Haynie then blasted one over the head of left fielder Kylie Jernigen all the way to the left field wall.
Hailey Wilson scored easily from first, and Haynie raced home just behind her for a two-run inside-the-park home run that forced the run rule. Haynie finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.
"About chest-high, right down the gut," Haynie said of her homer. "I was expecting a change-up, so I planned on having my weight back.
"She (pitched with) inconsistency, so I just set my mind on what pitch I wanted and I waited for it."
Also beating Crowder and Pittsburg in the tournament, Savanna improved to 12-3. Beating Indianola and Kiowa, Stuart improved to 15-5.
Kiowa beat Crowder in the third-place game, 14-1 in three innings. Indianola beat Haileyville in the consolation finals, 7-4 in five innings.

|Dunlap Homers Twice In Loss At Towson
TOWSON, Maryland – Luke Dunlap homered twice and drove in three runs for UNCW, but a seven-run seventh inning lifted Towson to a 9-5 win over the 21st-ranked Seahawks on Saturday in Colonial Athletic Association baseball action at Schuerholz Park.
The Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with the win and moved to 20-21 overall and 10-7 in the CAA. The Seahawks saw their own winning streak halted at six games and dropped to 32-12 and 13-3 in the league.
Dunlap, who had four hits and four runs batted in on Friday, raised his batting average to .389 with his 3-for-4 outing at the plate. He singled in the first before homering to center in the sixth and adding a two-run shot in the eighth. Tyler Molinaro added two hits for the Seahawks, who out-hit the Tigers, 13-9.
Kurt Wertz collected three RBI's and a pair of hits to lead the Towson lineup. Dominic Frantantuono added two hits.
Paul Beers (1-4) earned the win for Towson with seven strong innings. He allowed two runs on seven hits, struck out two and did not walk a batter.
Jack Lane (1-1) was saddled with the loss after allowing two runs on a hit and a walk in no-thirds of an inning pitched.
Up next: The series concludes on Sunday with a 1 p.m. start.
How it happened: Towson trailed 2-1 entering the seventh, but sent 11 hitters to the plate in the inning, scoring seven runs on six hits to take an 8-2 lead. TU also took advantage of a pair of triples to key the inning. Wertz knocked in two with his triple to right center and Fratantuono tripled two batters later to score another run.
Inside the numbers: The Seahawks were a meager 3-for-15 with runners on base and 2-for-9 with RISP … Towson landed just two of its nine leadoff hitters on base, but countered that with a 5-for-9 showing with RISP … TU also scored runners from third with less than two outs in 3-of-4 situations.
Notes: Michael Bass singled in the ninth to extend his on-base streak to 40 games and now trails Nate Hall's school-record 43 by three games … Evan Phillips gave the Seahawks a strong three innings in his fifth start, allowing one hit and holding righthanded hitter to 0-for-8 at the plate … Luke Dunlap extended his hitting streak to a career-long 14 games while Ryan LaGrange and Michael Bass pushed theirs to 13 and seven games, respectively … The Seahawk pitchers, who lead the conference with 326 strikeouts this season, failed to record a strikeout in the game for the first time since Mar. 14, 2009, in an 11-8 win over Hofstra at Brooks Field.

A Conversation with Antwone Quenton Fisher
In Finding Fish, you describe your upbringing as a foster child in fairly
stark terms. Do you think the foster care system is inherently flawed?
I would hate to sound pessimistic, but I think there are problems that can't be avoided like young people becoming social workers and deciding after a few months or a few years that they are going to do something different with their lives. That creates a situation where a kid has to get to know someone else all over again. Children arrive at a place where they don't trust the jurisdiction they are under and feel as though they are alone in their circumstance and that the social workers are only strangers passing through.
Another area of concern would be lack of resources for programs that could improve lives of children in foster care and educate the public to the need of good foster parents and adoptive parents and many other areas in this matter. I think that it's not a great enough priority to the powers that be to provide better lives for children in these unfortunate situations.
There are a lot of problems that would be solved if only the community would become more involved and volunteer to be mentors and ...

Rancho Palos Verdes CA
The Chris-Craft name is synonymous with speed and craftsmanship. For more than sixty years, this world-wide boating empire, founded by Christopher Columbus Smith, was a leader in producing powered pleasure boats.
The archives of Chris-Craft Industries were acquired by the Museum in 1986. Comprising more than 350 linear feet of records, this collection is considered one of the most complete histories of a boatbuilding company. The collection covers all models produced by Chris-Craft from 1922 through 1980 and consists of the major components listed below.
The Mariners' Museum Library at Christopher Newport University is proud to have the responsibility of maintaining the legacy of Christopher Smith, the "dean" of American standardized boatbuilding.
Boat Equipment Records
Popularly termed "hull cards," these are primary sources of information. Approximately 119,000 of these documents were created by Chris-Craft as a permanent record for the original standard and optional features of each hull produced. Details such as hull number, model, engine type, paint color, upholstery, place of construction, original dealer, and other hardware features are contained on these cards.
More than 25,000 black and white photographs in the collection depict early boat construction, dealer showrooms, marine engine productions, and celebrity Chris-Craft owners, as well as the many models of runabouts and cruisers produced by the company.
Boat Plans
More than 55,000 original design plans document virtually every model built. Some of the more popular models represented include the Cadet, Riviera, Cobra, Continental, Holiday, Sportsman, and Racing Runabout, in addition to a full range of cruisers. These plans illustrate the beauty and strength of the Chris-Craft boats.
|Sales Catalogs, Price Lists, & Boat and Engine Manuals
A nearly complete collection of sales and boat literature provides accurate data on boat styling, pricing, and general specifications.
Learn more about the History of Chris-Craft Runabouts, by reading an article written by Tom Crew, former archivist of The Mariners' Museum, who has a national reputation as an expert on the history of Chris-Craft boats.
Chris-Craft staff search the company archives to prepare research packages tailored to a specific Chris-Craft boat. The research is based upon the Chris-Craft hull identification number and/or the original engine serial number. If you would like to order a Chris-Craft Research package, you must provide the hull number. Failure to do this will necessitate additional correspondence and delay your research, since the Chris-Craft Corporation filed the permanent record of each boat, by this number.
CLICK HERE to order a Chris-Craft Research package
Please make sure to provide the hull number.
If you do not know the hull number, please review the information below.
How do I find the Chris-Craft Hull Number?
The locations of the hull numbers are as follows:
Chris-Craft, Sea Skiff & Cavalier Division boats
- On a metal plate attached to the underside of the engine hatch cover or engine box on single engine models, and on a metal plate attached to the underside of the starboard engine hatch cover or engine box on twin engine models.
- Stamped into the aft surface of the forward header of the engine hatch on single engine models, and stamped into the aft surface of the forward header of the port engine hatch on twin engine models.
- Stamped into the top edge of the engine stringer starboard adjacent to engine coupling on single engine models, and stamped into the top edge of the inboard stringer, port engine, adjacent to engine coupling on twin engine models.
- Either on top of wood towing bitt, aft face of bow block, extreme forward inboard surface of port toe rail, or aft face of stem midway between chine and sheer.
- SPORT BOATS AND RUNABOUTS - Stamped into the forward surface of aft deck beam if seat back is removable.
Corsair Division Boats
- On the exterior surface of the port bow, just aft of the stem and slightly below and parallel to the sheer.
- Stamped into the engine mounting pad, in the case of outboard powered boats, and into a transom frame or suitable wood member in this area. Where no wood surface is readily available, the number will be glassed into the transom on the inboard side.
Fiberglass Cruisers and Sailboats
- On the interior surface of the port hull side, forward of the foremost bulkhead. Numbers are glassed over with glass cloth impregnated with clear resin.
- Outboard powered models of the sailboat division will also have the number stamped into the engine mounting pad.
What do I get in a research package?
A research package consists of photocopies of the following types of primary documents, depending upon the quantity of archival information available for a specific boat.
- Boat equipment record "Hull Card"
- Sales literature
- Original price sheet
- Black and white production photographs
- Engine information
- A list of technical drawings
- A list of wiring diagrams
How much does a research package cost and how can I order one?

U.S. Congressman Bill Flores, of District 17 congratulated senior students at Texas A&M University Thursday night and gave the commencement convocation for the Texas A&M Class of 2013.
Flores took to the podium touting A&M's history of academic achievement, service attitude, and ability to produce leaders. Much of his speech pointed out the value that Texas A&M and its Aggies have to their community and to their country.
Asking for a "Whoop" from the audience at the Rudder Complex, Flores said it was an honor to give the commencement address, noting that it was "...a great day to be a Texas Aggie."
More than 7,000 students are expected to graduate this weekend with a degree in some form, including more than a thousand graduate level degrees - a new record for the university.

I realize the delay in posting this last entry takes away from the fun, but the reentry into North America has been hard, people!
Ok, I dragged tom away from the convention a day early on Saturday so that we could have some "non-comics time." As you'll see, this is clearly not possible, ANYWHERE, and especially in France. Late-ish Saturday night we arrive in Paris, and Tom & I head out to a local joint in Belleville for pizza. It was a small side-street-y place and only one other couple was present. The owner seemed like a bit of a character and remarked as he saw us taking this picture that Thomas Ott was a friend (his words, "mon copaine") and that he lived right around the corner. Yes, those are real paintings by Thomas on the wall behind Tom.
Obligatory photo for my 5 year old, Gigi, who is learning about France in maternelle.
Oh, you know, strolling down Blvd. St-Germain on the Left Bank, look up only to find WILSON staring back at me!!!!
Inside the store, they had all of the nominees from the festival prominently displayed. Wilson, the gatekeeper, looks like he may turn around and say "Hey Brother..." to the man reading.
And then 30 minutes later, we stumble upon the BD store, Aaapoum Bapoum, et voila, another WILSON display this time with Charles Burns' X'ed out. What's with all of the cut outs?
Right when you walk in you see a full display of all Cornelius titles.
What can I say? The french love WILSON.
We were slowly making our way through the 6th Arrondisement to the legendary...
Un Regard Moderne.
I admit, this place gave me a panic attack. Tom told me a story that the reason Thomas from Actes Sud published Mark Alan Stamaty's Who Needs Doughnuts in french was because he found the english edition at a bottom of a stack here. Thomas is a patient man.
Though I love that they had Gary's Satiroplastic poster framed.
And that Vanessa's MAKE ME A WOMAN is front and center, well, for the next day or so, at least.
We were told that if you want a specific book at the store, you have to give the owner a week or two to find it.
When I say EVERYONE in France knew of Art being the president in 2012. I mean EVERYONE.
Before we left for home, we visited the offices of Cornelius to have lunch. I have to say that meeting the Cornelius staff was *almost* the best thing about the trip. Left to right: Jean-Louis Gauthey, Julien Magnani (designer), Guillaume Traisnel (money man and craftsman of all of the Clowes and Burns cut outs!), and Émilie Le Hin (translator, publicist, foreign rights and more). It was almost spooky, but yet totally inspiring and wonderful, to meet a company so similar to D+Q in France! Emilie and I bonded and agreed over everything! Emilie, move to Montreal!
And it's easy to see why, like our beloved Chief, Chris, Cornelius was founded by Jean-Louis who runs the company with a finely honed aesthetic that is at once instantly recognizeable as a Cornelius book, but also uniquely about the artist. Talking to Jean-Louis is like talking to Chris, they don't talk about themselves, it is solely always about the artist. And talking to an artist about Jean-Louis, is listening to a D+Q artist talk about Chris. The artist totally adores him.
Charles Berberian joined us for lunch and told us a story about doing a press check for his new Cornelius book Sacha and that Jean-Louis' standards were so exacting that Charles couldn't even see what Jean-Louis wanted corrected.
Here are some differences between the two companies. Cornelius casually had a bottle of wine out.
They have a fully loaded kitchen.
AND, the ENTIRE office was built by Jean-Louis out of pallet wood and pipes. Seriously, he made the desks, the shelves, the kitchen, everything!
Their entry way.
Ok, Charles Berberian on his way out of the office. You know with his hat on, cashmere coat, sharp flight bag, and guitar strapped to his back.
A photo of the building's courtyard on the way out.
Again comics. But how could we miss Charles Burns'show at Galerie Martel?! A few shots from the show.
Originally, I thought this would be the "one" comics thing we did in Paris.
And our way back from the Galerie on Tuesday night, making our way up Rue de Belleville who do we randomly run into but "friends-we-just-made-at-the-festival" the crew from Book About George that Tom blogged about earlier.
As my coworker Jessica says "Comics you've done it again!"

It looks like Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez got themselves in quite the pickle in "Spring Breakers," which was shot in Sarasota and Tampa Bay.
The trailer for the movie was released today, premiering on MTV.com and then making its way to YouTube. The two starlets along with James Franco and Ashley Benson shot interior scenes inside a student's dorm at Ringling College of Art and Design in March 2012.
The plot revolves around the girls robbing a restaurant to pay for their spring break adventure, only to get out of jail from James Fraco's character Alien (Ale-leen), who uses the girls for his crime ring.
From what we can gather from watching the trailer, the student's dorm was transformed into a drug dealer's paradise with guns all over the wall, with more assault weapons and money spread out over the bed. A more detailed scene inside the dorm appears in this uncensored leaked clip (Not Suitable For Work), which you'll need headphones for or ear muffs for the kids.
The Herald-Tribune spoke to that student in 2012 who was asked to have her dorm used last year:
"Student Sarah Reynolds, a computer animation major, waited outside her dorm in the hot sun while the movie was being shot inside Tuesday. She was informed via email that production would take over the dorm from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Unlike fans who waited for autographs or photos or even just a peek at the stars Monday, Reynolds said she is not starstruck by the movie crew's presence.
Reynolds said "it would be cool, but whatever" to get a glimpse of Selena Gomez, the singer and star of several Disney and other children's movies. While some students are working as movie extras, Reynolds laughed and said she has too much homework for that."
Most people in the area though would be able to recognize the exterior scenes which includes shots of a joyride down the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, scooter scenes and pool parties in St. Pete Beach.
Will we be able to recognize other places around Sarasota and Tampa Bay? We'll have to wait when the movie is released March 29.
Based on the trailer, will you see Spring Breakers?

The father of Brookfield shooting suspect Radcliffe Haughton told Patch Sunday afternoon that his son was in the local car business and that he "put his wife on a pedestal."
But the father—named Radcliffe Haughton Sr.—acknowledged the marriage had problems. He said that his son was a Jamaica native who moved to Milwaukee as an adult.
"I'm his father," his dad told Patch from his home in Florida before his son's body was discovered inside the spa Sunday afternoon. "My son is a good person. I can't tell you what I think happened. My son loved his wife, and he put his wife on a pedestal, and he cared about her. He raised her daughter which he accepts as his stepdaughter, and they have one child together. She is now 13."
The younger Haughton moved to Milwaukee as an adult to manage a Waukesha car dealership, his father said.
"Yes, he is always into the car business. He loved the cars, that was his MO. He could tell you anything about cars. He was a salesperson."
Before Milwaukee, the family lived in Illinois, in Highwood and Northbrook, the father said.
- Who is Radcliffe Haughton?
- Reaction to Brookfield spa shooting
- Shooting an unwelcome flashback for Sikh Temple members
- Photo gallery from the shooting
Asked what had happened, the father said, "I don't know. I'm here in Florida. I just came from from a funeral, and my wife was on the phone and that's how this reached me."
He said the funeral was not for another family member.
Pressed on whether his son had slashed his estranged wife's tires, and why there was a restraining order against him that was just issued in court, the father said: "They have been having problems. I am not going to go into details, lady."
Patch also interviewed a former co-worker of the suspect
The co-worker described Haughton as "very private," said that he had worked with him at Concours Motors a few years ago.
Court records show that the suspect's wages were garnished by the court's system from his job at Concours Motors, 1400 W. Silver Spring Dr., a luxury car dealer. That was as the result of a monetary judgment in a civil case.
"He left there years ago," said the co-worker, who did not want his name used. "He came from International Autos and also worked for Fields in Waukesha. He did work for Concourse Motors as well as numerous other local car dealerships."
International Autos is located in West Allis. Fields is located in Waukesha.
He is also listed online as a manager at a Madison car dealership.
Court and property tax records show that Haughton owned a house in Brown Deer. His Linked In profile states that he is the owner of something called Haughton International Corporations.
The restraining order was filed against him in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Oct. 18, in which he was prohibited from possessing a firearm. He was also the subject of a disorderly conduct criminal charge in Milwaukee County Circuit Court in 2011, but it was dismissed when an "essential witness failed to appear," according to court records.
People who knew Haughton took to Facebook to write about it.
"I know the shooter. Personally. I've known Radcliffe Houghton(sic) for 9 years," wrote one man. "He lives less than 300 feet from my parent's house."
The man continued, "I used to go to Taylor's with dude...he used to work at the Land Rover dealership in Glendale. He sold me my truck!"
Another woman who knew him wrote on the man's thread, "he seemed normal too." She said she had rented to the man and his family when they lived in Bayside.
A photo of a man on a Google website with Haughton's name shows him pointing a gun at the camera. The name of the Brown Deer suspect's estranged wife appears on that man's website as a contact person.

And it is precisely by focusing on the process of creating these expectations that the new ES9000 is designed, the perfect combination of performance and design in a size unprecedented.
The TV uses an Edge LED panel has 3D capabilities with active shutter glasses and the same Smart TV platform , provided by the other models by Samsung.
The protagonists of this technological excellence are an extra-large screen of 75 inches - 189 cm of pure vision immersive and luxury - and a high quality design that meets the aesthetic taste of all consumers. A unique concept featuring an exclusive and timeless elegance, consisting of a super-slim frame of 7.9 mm completely smooth enhances the square of the TV stand. The web cam perfectly set in the upper part of the frame can be hidden when the television is turned off, while the finish Rose Gold turns your device in the most fascinating SMART TV on the market today.
The innovative features Smart Interaction, Smart Content and Smart Evolution introduced on the top of the range launched earlier this year are also available on the new 75-inch innovative entertainment experience, and the ability to constantly upgrade hardware and software, and access a wide range of exclusive content.
Another novelty is the presence of SMART TV Samsung Sound Share function that allows you to automatically and wirelessly connect the audio from your ES9000 to that of the Samsung Series 7 Dock System. Finally, the new processor dual-core guarantees a faster and seamlessly, allowing you to download and use many applications at the same time and surf the web.
The image quality ES9000 - Micro Dimming Ultimate technology-based and Precision Black - SMART TV ensures the best experience with richer colors and sharper detail, high contrast, 30% increase in sharpness and depth of blacks and 60 % of brightness than the ES8000 series, thus supporting large screens and viewing distances above. The price of Smart TV set at $ 9,999

HOUSTON—When city workers started cutting down thousands of dead trees in Galveston after Hurricane Ike, some residents said it felt like pulling the plug on old beloved patients.
Then someone called a surgeon.
James Phillips is a wood-carver, an artist who doodles with a chainsaw. He turns old dead trees into things of beauty.
Phillips had always done drawings as a child. Then he said he took a "30 year break from art." Eight years ago, however, he picked up a chainsaw and started carving a pelican out of a tree in his yard. Someone dared him to "do it again."
He did.
Then after Hurricane Ike, a Galveston woman, dismayed by the prospect of cutting down all the dead trees for firewood, connected with Phillips who began turning them into standing pieces of art.
Presently he is exhibiting his work at Houston Community College's art gallery on the West Loop South.
The exhibit, which runs this month, features pieces created in Phillips' work shop. In addition to working with the city of Galveston, Phillips also creates on-site works for private individuals.
"The very first commissioned tree I did down in Galveston was the Tin Man and Toto and I was mortified. I was mortified," Phillips said. "Course, bear in mind, I'll do anything. So, (I said) 'Yeah, man!' I got all charged up about it. People love that thing. It's hilarious and it was fun to do."
Typically his work takes a week to complete. On-site creations cost $2,000 to $3,000. Portable pieces created in Phillips' workshop from hunks of wood, range from $750 to $1,500.
Phillips said the job's only downside is sawdust.
"If I dig in my ear right now I betcha I can find sawdust," he said.
But he loves what he does. He said everyone should.
"We have so few laps around the sun and I think it's important to do stuff," Phillips said. "I think it's important that you make stuff and it doesn't matter what it is....It's really not about the piece. It's about the doing it. I enjoy making it."

The Clarkstown Town Board will discuss a mix of issues relating to old and new structures in the town at tonight's workshop meeting.
The Historical Review Board will give a presentation on its past work and proposed efforts to save the in West Nyack. There will be an update on the town's and a proposed Neighborhood Shopping Zoning District.
The condition of Teaberry Port House owned by United Water has been discussed at several recent board meetings. In June, Clarkstown Town Historian Robert Knight told the board that the 1780 Dutch sandstone house on Strawtown Road has been vacant for 10 years. The board directed the Historical Review Board to prepare a comphrehensive report on the strucure.
In 2011, consultants hired by the town presented preliminary reports on the Route 9W and Route 303 and 304 corridors through Clarkstown. That information is being followed-up with additional studies and an analysis of Route 59 Eastbound.
The workshop will also include the monthly police department report. A special meeting will follow the 7:30 p.m. workshop with a board vote on authorizing Supervisor Alex Gromack to enter into an agreement with the Clarkstown Board of Education for the School Resource Officer Program for the 2012-2013 school year.
The board will accept the resignation of Detective Thomas P. Sheehy, who is retiring from the police department. It will vote on authorizing installation of "Stop" signs and "Stop" lines on Scher Drive at Amber Drive in New City and Amber Drive at Scher Drive, New City and "No Parking Anytime" signs at the dead end of Loran Court in Nanuet.

Court Blocks S.C. Voter ID Law for 2012, But Clears It For the Future
A federal court in Washington today blocked South Carolina's Voter ID law from going into effect for the 2012 elections, but said it could go into effect for future elections.
Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, South Carolina — because it has a history of discrimination — had to get approval for the law from federal officials in Washington DC.
A three judge panel of federal judges unanimously said today that it couldn't pre-clear the law "given the short time left before the 2012 elections," but said that the law was not enacted for a "discriminatory purpose" and could go into effect "beginning with any elections in 2013."
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said the ruling is a "major victory" for South Carolina. "It affirms our voter ID law is valid and constitutional under the Voting Rights Act," Wilson said. He said that the law does not discriminate and he would "work diligently to implement this law for all future elections."
Nancy Abudu, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU Voting Rights Project that had challenged the law, issued a statement saying, "We're glad that thousands of voters who faced being denied access to the polls will get to vote next month, but are concerned about what lies ahead. This is a law that remains harmful regardless of when it is implemented."
The law requires South Carolinians who vote in person to present one of five forms of photo ID. But Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, writing for the court , emphasized that the law still permits citizens to use their non-photo voter registration card. The law he said, "provides that if a voter has a reasonable impediment that prevents the elector from obtaining photographic identification, the voter may complete an affidavit at the polling place attesting to his or her identity."
Kavanaugh wrote that the "reasonable impediment provision" will make it "far easier than some might have expected or feared for South Carolina voters with a non-photo registration card…to vote as they could under pre-existing law."
(and every individual without an ID needs to be verified as citizens with a photo taken on scene to go along with an affidavit claiming one as a citizen. If I have to show an ID and it hasn't killed me...)

I don't know the specifics of the law, but I would hope the state has reasonable safeguards in place.
My state doesn't. I don't know that it's throwing off the vote here in a statistically meaningful way yet. Suppose I should investigate the vote here before I go telling South Carolina how to run their shop.

PLATTSBURGH — A Champlain man was arrested Saturday for alleged drunken driving.
According to Plattsburgh-based State Police, officers observed a jeep being driven by Stephen L. Duprey, 29, speeding down Margaret Street in Plattsburgh at about 2:50 a.m.
Upon pulling over the jeep on Margaret Street, police said, officers observed that Duprey's speech was impaired and his eyes glossy.
Duprey also failed a roadside sobriety test, according to police.
A breathalyzer given at the police station revealed Duprey's blood-alcohol content to be 0.16 percent, police added.
He was charged with violating the speed limit, an infraction, and driving while intoxicated with a previous conviction within the last 10 years, a felony.
Police said Duprey's previous drunken driving conviction took place in April 2009.
He was released to a sober third party on a ticket to appear in City Court on Friday, Jan. 4.
PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh resident Rose Willse was in stable condition Monday after escaping from a fire in her apartment Friday afternoon.
Willse was taken by ambulance to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh Friday after experiencing secondary smoke inhalation as a result of a blaze, which originated in her unit of the Robert S, Long Apartments on Margaret Street.
The fire was allegedly caused by a cigarette.
Willse remained at CVPH Monday.

Original recipe yields 1 10-inch cake
- Before you begin, bring all of the cold ingredients to room temperature: set out the sour cream, butter, and the eggs (separate the eggs while they are still cold) for about half an hour before making the cake batter.
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch tube pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Combine the sour cream and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
- Beat the butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy, about 30 seconds. Gradually add 2 cups of sugar and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably paler in color. Add the room-temperature egg yolks one at a time, allowing each yolk to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.
- Pour in one third of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Blend in half of the sour cream mixture. Continue adding the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean mixing bowl with clean beaters until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until medium-stiff peaks are formed (lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.) Use a whisk or rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the meringue mixture into the cake batter to lighten it.
- Fold the remaining egg white mixture into the batter until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when you touch it lightly and a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for ten minutes before inverting the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Five stars for the recipe instructions! Amanda, you are a great instructor. You've put all the best tips here. Everyone could benefit from bookmarking this recipe and using its techniques for tender cakes. The texture of this cake was phenomenal, not as dense as typical pound cake. I would call this a "cocoa cake", though, because the ONLY change I made was to add twice the amount of cocoa, and it still wasn't very chocolatey. Chocolate ganache from this site topped it well. I wonder what substituting melted bittersweet chocolate for cocoa (2-4 squares) and cream cheese for sour cream would do. At least, DO add more chocolate chips!- 2 cups if you really like chocolate; just don't refrigerate it, or the chips will be hard. I'm savin' this recipe =)
Carrie B.
This cake is awesome! I do quite a lot of baking and this is one of my favorite cakes ever. The texture is velvety smooth. Really perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. It has a really nice subtle chocolate flavor that was just right for me. I didn't make any changes to the recipe and I have made it twice. I'm normally one to take shortcuts and rush through a recipe (as I have two young children) but I really took my time both times I made this cake...following every step. I will definitely keep this one on file and make it again and again!
I made this today for my church community group and it turned out wonderful. I think it may be the softest cake I have ever made...even tasted. I agree too that the directions were fabulous. Great job Amanda and thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

NORMAN — Norman Public Schools is showing an increase of 330 students this year compared to similar counts in 2012, school officials said Tuesday.
As of Monday, the district counted an enrollment of 15,1459 compared to 15,129 on Oct. 1.
Spokesman Shelly Hickman said the official enrollment is not taken until Oct. 1.
Historically, she said, the number of students will continue to increase.
"We won't be surprised if our enrollment increases even higher between now and Oct. 1," Hickman said.
District officials said Norman enrollment has grown in a range of 150 to 450 students each year over the past few years.
They do not believe the Moore tornado has led to enrollment growth in the Norman district.

The two early-morning shootings on Sunday are being investigated as separate crimes, as there were different guns used in each shooting, Trooper Guy Gill tweeted on Tuesday.
He also said that the shots did not come from an overpass or an elevated location.
A minivan was shot on eastbound State Route 16, by the North Jackson Ave. and the Narrows Bridge at 4:15 a.m. At 4:45 a.m., a full-sized sedan was shot multiple times on northbound I-5, between South 56th St. and South 38th Street.
No one was injured in either shooting. Both vehicles were owned and driven by private citizens and not affiliated with any business, Gill told Patch.
"Right now we are treating the shootings as 2 separate incidents. The ONLY thing that links them is time frame and proximity," Gill said.
Anyone with information is asked to call State Patrol detective Vic Mauro at 253-538-3176.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- When you spend $2,500 on leather sofas, you expect them to hold up.
Kathy Liston in Southpark says, "We didn't think it was right because we have two of the same couches, and one was wrinkling. And they get equal use."
Kathy bought the couches last October at Macy's and even paid $250 for the extra warranty. When the wrinkles arose, Kathy says she was told it was wear and tear, even though the matching one right next to it still looked brand new.
"And it kept getting worse and worse" said Kathy.
Macy's seemed to be holding firm, Kathy saying they told her there's nothing they could do. That's when Kathy called the I-Team. We reached out to Macy's and sent them Kathy's pictures.
Macy's responded by saying they would investigate, and within a few days, Kathy says they called her with very good news.
"They said they'll make it right and replace it, or give me my money back. That's what they said they were going to do-- give me a full refund for both sofas."
Here's what Kathy did right: she saved her paperwork, she documented her conversations with the department store and she took pictures of the problem.

— With flu cases soaring, Mayo Clinic Health System is implementing visitor restrictions at its hospitals in Mankato, New Prague, Fairmont, Springfield, St. James and Waseca.
Visitors are limited to immediate family members (a patient's spouse or significant other, parent, sibling or child).
Only two visitors are allowed per patient at a time.
No one who is ill with symptoms of influenza — including fever or chills, muscle or body aches, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, headache and fatigue — will be permitted to visit
These restrictions apply to all patients in all areas of the hospitals and are effective until further notice.
New Ulm Medical Center announced similar restrictions there on Friday.
Hospital officials say the measures are designed to protect vulnerable patients, as well as staff members. The flu can be especially dangerous to the frail or elderly, especially if they're already hospitalized for another reason.
The tightest restrictions are popping up mostly in southern Minnesota, which has been among the hardest-hit areas this flu season.
Some hospitals are reporting higher numbers of flu patients than during the height of the 2009 H1N1 outbreak, according to the Mayo Clinic.

I'm so frustrated. This is insane.
I'm not used to feeling so intently about someone, especially for so long. What I dont' understand, is that around guys, I'm perfect, completely charming. I know how to win them over. But with you, I have no clue. And it's sad, because you're the only one who's ever meant something to me.
Forget all the boys that I've kissed, just to prove something to them, or maybe to myself. Forget all the times that I've danced with them right in front of you, hoping to force some glint of jealousy out of your eyes. Forget about all the guys I told you I thought were cute. Remember all the times I tell you I love you, remember the look in my eye.
I don't think I've ever looked at someone the way I look at you, and I don't think I could. You have something over me. I feel as if I am under your spell. I want nothing more than to be with you.
So, I'm going to tell you all this, welcome you into my shades of blue. I'm ready for you to know, but I don't know if you're ready to know.
And tonight's the night.
i liked it itz like ur reading my diary

"Very few times have I been able to say that I learned something new about a subject with which I am ostensibly familiar. But this is the case on virtually every page of Laurent Dubois's Haiti: The Aftershocks of History. Dubois, the veritable dean of Haitian studies, has produced that rarest of things: a highly entertaining narrative for the general reader, but one deeply satisfying to the scholar as well. This brilliant book, a compelling and colorful saga of the triumph and tragedy of Haitian revolution and freedom, should be required reading for anyone who wonders from whence the 'curse on Haiti' really emanated."—Henry Louis Gates Jr., The Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University
"A fine and meticulous book . . . adds to Casement's reputation as a pioneer of the human rights movement's tactics, including the on-the-spot investigation, and the leveraging of public outrage to spur reform."—Greg Grandin, The New York Times Book Review

You can savor delectable entrées skillfully prepared by our Chef; or simply enjoy a great platter of wings and some refreshing beverages before or after a game. Our skilled bartenders will prepare the perfect martini or that thirst-quenching draft beer you've been wanting all day. The State Street Bar and Grill has one of downtown's only outdoor seating areas where you can enjoy our great summer weather.
