He has weathered moves in and around Fort Benning. He survived a frightening fall from a crane, a trip to Colorado and has probably been photographed more than any landmark in town.
But after 53 years in the limelight, most of us don't know what to call the iconic symbol that stands on a pedestal outside the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center.
His given name is the Infantryman, though many refer to him as the Follow Me Statue or even Iron Mike, confusing him with a bronze cousin at Fort Bragg, N.C., who is officially called The Airborne Trooper.
It's a mess, and this morning Brig. Gen. David Haight, the commandant of the U.S. Infantry School at Benning, dedicates a new plaque that may clean up some of the blunders.
The ceremony is at 10 a.m. at the foot of the massive memorial.
Military documents have helped fuel the confusion, but Cyndy Cerbin, director of communications at the National Infantry Museum, says there was never a formal change of name.
She said the big guy should still be referred to as The Infantryman -- just as he was in 1960 when he found his first home on Eubanks Field.
Surrounding Haight will be more than 200 newly minted Infantry soldiers who will soon learn the symbolism behind the historic figure that has become the installation's most recognizable marker.
His name is debated, but his story is clear, dating back to the 1950s when post commander Maj. Gen. Paul Freeman commissioned the lifelike figure.
Former Secretary of the Army Wilber Brucker, who said the Infantryman was the Army's ultimate weapon, unveiled him.
The statue weighed 3,000 pounds and was 12 feet tall. The rifle he carried was 7-foot-3 inches long.
The sculptors were Army Pfcs. Manfred Bass and Karl Van Krog. They used Officer Candidate School's Eugene Wyles as their model, hoping the statue would reflect the attitude of a squad leader in combat.
It was moved to Infantry Hall in 1964, and while being hauled to a truck, it fell from a crane.
Damage could have been worse, but the beloved figure only suffered a chipped elbow. Bass was called in for the repairs and while he was at it he did some other touch up work.
By 2004, the statue -- in need of a facelift -- was transported to Colorado, where the original served as a model for a reconditioned version cast in bronze. Back in Georgia, it found a permanent home at the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center.
Wyles came back when it was rededicated in 2010. Standing in front of the statue, he said it represented more than any single soldier.
"That is the Infantry," the Army veteran said. "It's not me. It's the Infantry and the Infantry spirit."

The family of a Park Ridge man killed in a hit-and-run in November has filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Ronald Bougan, 53, was killed after being struck while walking on the south side of W. Touhy Avenue on Nov. 5. A Skokie EMT, Kristian Hernandez, 36, was charged in the crash with leaving the scene of an accident and failure to report an accident resulting in a death.
The lawsuit states that Hernandez failed to keep proper lookout, sped, drove in multiple lanes and did not assist Bougan after hitting him, the Chicago Tribune reported.
A man riding his bicycle found Bougan in a grassy area and initially, in the dark, thought he was looking at a deer or other animal, authorities said.
Hernandez worked as an EMT for an ambulance company in Skokie, the Sheriff's Department said.

Marc Landry is a reader who writes. He reads The N&Os news and opinion pages closely and consistently. Then he takes to the keyboard either to send a comment to a reporter or write a letter to the editor.
Landry estimates he has sent about 500 letters to the editor. Even though theres a 30-day waiting period between letters from the same writer, his letters have been published 81 times.
One of his secrets is to write short and provide illumination. Heres a typical letter from last October:
How embarrassing it is to see a photograph of U.S. officials beaming with pride on an Amtrak train that hit 111 mph (news story, Oct. 20). In 1903, a new speed record of 126 mph was set in Germany. Every day, trains routinely travel at 180 mph in Asia and Europe. Whats next? New and improved buggy whips?
Weve enjoyed Landrys missives, but were making him stop. Were making him a part-time columnist. No more emails. No more letters. Hes moving to the receiving side. Hell start Wednesday and appear on the Other Opinion page every Wednesday after that. Judging by his letter flow, he wont be taking many weeks off.
Theres something eccentric about someone who writes so many letters. And its unusual to want to trade throwing darts for becoming the target. But newspapers, if theyre to be read, must be interesting. And being a little different is part of that but its not all of it. A columnist should have something to say and be able to say it well. Landry, as his letters attest, meets both those standards.
It gets addictive, he says of letter writing. I have opinions, and I like to share them.
Landry, 63, has been a resident of Cary since 1999. A Canadian who has since become an American citizen, he was born and grew up in the Ottawa area. He earned a bachelors in economics and a law degree from the University of Ottawa. His native tongue was French, and he speaks passable Spanish, learned mostly from his wife, Rosario, a native of Bolivia.
Their two daughters are Einstein types: Markita, a UNC-CH graduate, is doing post-doctoral work in chemical engineering at M.I.T.; Alexandra, a valedictorian at N.C. State, is studying for a doctorate in chemical engineering at the University of California-Berkley.
Landry practiced law in Ottawa until Rosario, a Nortel employee, was transferred to the Triangle. They chose to live in Cary based on a photo he saw in National Geographic as part of a story on the North Carolina Piedmont. It was an aerial photo taken of the leafy town aglow with fall foliage. It seemed like an Eden to him. It still does, especially since he arrived after 50 Canadian winters.
In Cary, he has made his way as a substitute teacher. He plans to keep it up, but hes eager to educate through his writing, too.
Landry takes the place of Rick Martinez, who started as an N&O op-ed columnist in 2001 and left in April to join the press staff of Gov. Pat McCrory. Landry isnt a rock-ribbed conservative. Hes more a Libertarian and a contrarian. Hes wary of conventional thinking, political correctness and government spending. Hes closer to Ron Paul than Paul Ryan. And hes nothing like that other Paul, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.
Whenever I want my blood pressure to go up, Ill read Krugman, he says.
Landry is a hawk on spending and big on self-reliance. In a letter last September, he wrote: There seemingly is no limitation on spending and much of it is borrowed. In the end, any country will be much better off to have more contributors than takers. Unfortunately, the trend has been reversed in our country, and the number of takers has been growing while the number of contributors has been shrinking.
Landrys opinions can be sharp, but in the end hes Canadian. Its his nature to be nice.
Conservatives often call me in a fit of irritation and declare that the reason many newspapers are struggling is because theyre too liberal and out of step with their readers. Usually I hang up and run into the publishers office and say Ive found a way to save newspapers: Write like Sean Hannity talks.
Thats not true. I dont do that. Usually Im left bemused by the idea that when newspapers were fat, conservatives complained that, Youre just trying to sell newspapers. Now they say, Youre just not trying to sell newspapers.
Still, I think theres value in opening the opinion pages to a local columnist who sometimes fails to see the wisdom in our editorials. Thats our definition of the conservative perspective. So here it comes, delivered by Marc Landry, starting Wednesday.
I think youll enjoy his work. If you do, or if you dont, send a letter to the editor. With Landry out of our mailbox, we have a shortfall to make up.

Robert Pattinson Gossip
Robert Pattinson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Robert Pattinson's smile
Dior has released a new photo from Robert Pattinson's first campaign for the Homme fragrance. I know nothing about photography so is this…composition? Like one third is all dark, and the other third (the subway tile) is in shade, leaving the centre third the focal point – his beautiful face and beguiling smile? Or is the star of this photo meant to be his hand? Pattinson is gazing adoringly at the face of a model off-camera, an image meant to suggest intimacy as her bare legs lounge suggestively on top of the tub, as he sits in it…fully clothed. Full Story
Robert Pattinson's look of lust
Dior Homme released the first official image of Robert Pattinson as the face of the fragrance last week. There was a party to celebrate the announcement in Hollywood E! News was able to creep a few shots from the presentation. Click here for a refresher. Full Story
Robert Pattinson for Dior
Robert Pattinson has been named the face of Dior Homme. An official photo was released by Dior yesterday. It's the first image attached. He's wearing a sweater, his hair is growing out, and he's attempting to look... I dunno... challenging? Interesting that this was the shot they decide to unveil first. Full Story

A quick summary of the situation so far: PEOPLE reported on Monday that Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson were hanging out at a resort together in Santa Barbara on the weekend during a civilian wedding rehearsal. For some reason, that article went missing shortly after. Full Story
Robert Pattinson, Katy Perry, and the missing article
Kevin Mazur/ TCA 2010 /Getty
A situation is developing. It's very, VERY Good For Gossip... PEOPLE.com posted an article yesterday about Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry. Apparently the two were spotted at San Ysidro Ranch, a luxury resort in Santa Barbara, on Sunday. Full Story
One year ago today...
It was the second Thursday of Cannes. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were at a party. The paps shot them from across the street -- rare photos of the two of them kissing and loving. With video! It was very romance, per Borat Sagdiyev. Three weeks ago, when I was planning our Cannes coverage, I had this day marked as an anniversary celebration for Twi-Hards. Full Story

Hey Lainey, please tell us what's going on with Rob and Kristen. Nothing makes sense for us. We have that theory that they're both moving back to Rob's house because her's on sale since January. And since there was construction work at Rob's house since last summer, which is now finished, we thought that was maybe the reason why they bought Kristen's house in the first place and are now selling it, so they can move back to Rob's house.

One year of Carey & Marcus
Bauer, Splash
Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford were married on April 21, 2012. Here they are, just after their first anniversary, hand in hand in New York yesterday after lunch. According to the band's official website, Mumford & Sons isn't touring again until May 21. Perhaps Marcus can join Carey in Cannes then as her film Inside Llewyn Davis will screen in competition there. Full Story
Dusk Falls on Twilight
Roshan Perera/ Splash
Does that even make sense? I don't know. But I'm running out of times of day. And moon phases. Waning Gibbous on Twilight didn't sound so good. Anyway, the MTV Movie Award nominations were announced yesterday. Mega Twi-Hard anxiety ensued because Twilight, which has dominated this event for the last few years, only received one nomination… and not even the most important one: Best Kiss. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Emmanuelle Riva and Daniel Day-Lewis did not show at the Academy's Nominees Luncheon yesterday. Almost everyone else however was there, either to jockey for position or to get as much out of the experience as possible, because they may never be back. These are important days. Perhaps the most important days as final ballots will go out on Friday which is why several films are still pushing, sending talent out on Q&A sessions with Academy members, confirming attendance at events they'd normally not bother going to, and booking interviews on talk shows and on the late night circuit. Which says to me that, despite Argo taking so many guild awards lately, people still aren't convinced that there's no room left. There is, in fact, a lot of room left. And this is still a race, more than ever. Read Full Intro
Chaos Down Under
This is Robert Pattinson in Australia where he'll be shooting a new movie and staying a while, presumably because it's not like it's easy flying back and forth to LA from Adelaide which is apparently where he was headed. So if you live in Adelaide, look out. It might get sh-t crazy. Full Story
Apparently you can't like both
"Nice try with all your Jennifer Lawrence hype lately Lamey but she's not winning an Oscar, Bwhahahahahahahahhaha. Kristen should be nominated for On The Road and she'll get one before JLaw even when bitches like you hold her back, can't keep this down!" These are the kinds of messages I've been receiving via email and Twitter. Full Story
Twilight's last carpet
Twilight 5 is expected to earn between $140 - $160 million this weekend. So if you want to see Bond, do you look for it at a community theatre as opposed to heading to the super cinemas where Twi-Hards will have taken over? Click here Full Story
Neon & Print
It's a great combination. And God, so much more suited to her than the JLO lace and glitter cougar styles that she was working last night in London. Kristen Stewart wore neon to the Spanish premiere of Twilight 5 tonight, complementing the dress with a printed pair of strapped pumps. The messy braid is working too -- young and steezy and fresh.

By Mark E. Vogler
LAWRENCE — Up to 75 permanent teachers in the Lawrence Public Schools learned from their principals Monday that they must undergo a rigorous review involving unannounced classroom observations that may determine whether they keep their jobs next year.
The classroom evaluators — retired school superintendents working under the direction of Dale R. Libkin, the new assistant superintendent of teacher effectiveness — could begin the reviews of "teachers of concern" as early as today in a process that is expected to last through mid-June, according to Superintendent/receiver Jeffrey C. Riley.
The teachers who will be subject to close scrutiny represent 5 to 8 percent of the 900-plus permanent teachers in the education system with more than three years experience who have attained professional status. They were identified either because of a recent principal assessment, their work history or because their classroom performance "raises concerns" about their teaching capabilities, Riley said.
"It's the beginning of a new process of accountability," Riley said in an interview last night of the unprecedented teacher reviews he has ordered under special powers granted him as a result of the state takeover of the city's education system, which serves some 13,000 students.
"Historically, few school systems across the country actually go to this detail in observation of teachers. But we're going to raise the bar in our expectations and we expect great things from our teachers," Riley said.
Riley, now on the job about 2 1/2 months, has begun an aggressive review of teachers as part of a major turnaround process that he's overseeing as a result of the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education declaring Lawrence Public Schools a Level 5 "chronically underperforming" school district late last November.
"Since I have been on the ground, I've spent a lot of time in the classrooms of every school and I've found that the majority of our teachers are doing a great job," Riley stressed.
"But the truth is, not everybody is — and we are going to be looking closely at people we have concerns about. We're making no assumptions going in. It wouldn't surprise me if some people are cleared and are determined to be okay. It wouldn't surprise me if people lost their jobs either. This is just a review," he said.
Riley disclosed last night that he expects to begin a similar review for the city's 28 principals by week's end. Principals must be notified by April 15 as to whether they have been rehired for the next school year.
"Going forward, we're going to be looking at teachers, principals and central staff every year to make sure we have the right people in charge of our kids," Riley said.
"We have a mandate to really start looking more closely at the effectiveness of all employees in the Lawrence Public Schools. At the end of the day, you have to have the right people dealing with the kids. I believe in teachers rights, but I believe in kids' rights more," he said.
Lawrence Teachers Union President Frank McLaughlin said he expects many of the teachers who have been identified for review to be cleared and returned to the classroom. McLaughlin said he believes some of the teachers may have received poor evaluations because of personality problems with principals.
"I think the process is fair, impartial and free of politics and will quickly reveal that many teachers who have unfortunately been misidentified. So, we welcome the review." McLaughlin said.
Any teacher recommended for dismissal can meet with a formal review panel, that must submit a recommendation to the receiver by June 26. If the receiver determines a teacher to be unsatisfactory, he or she will be dismissed from the school system on or before June 30.
Teachers who have been identified for review have the option to resign to avoid the observation process, but must submit a resignation by April 2.
Riley said he's received some resignations, but won't say how many.

The Forest Service really slung the bull this time - eight tons of it.
To improve the vegetation and
watershed of the Ishi Wilderness in northeastern California, agency
officials strapped 13 tranquilized bulls into helicopter cargo nets
and flew them out at the end of a 40-foot cable. The cattle were
the last of a 400-head feral herd produced from strays left by
ranchers. But they proved too wily for conventional roundup, said
Laurence Crabtree, resource officer with the Lassen National
The impoundment, which ended with the
butchering of the bulls, cost taxpayers over $11,000 just in
helicopter time, but the effects on the land are already dramatic,
said Dan Wells, a local guide.
"The native
grasses are coming back," Wells said, "and it's nice to set up a
campsite without all that bull shit."

Registration: N1916

Boeing B&W Replica
Model 1
The B&W was the first airplane designed and built by Boeing. On June 15, 1916, Mr. Boeing himself took the B&W aloft for the first time. Later, Boeing showed the plane to the Navy in hopes of a contract but was turned down. Both the first B&W ever built, nicknamed the "Bluebill," and the second, called the "Mallard," which was built the following November, were eventually acquired by the government of New Zealand.
The Museum's B&W is a 1966 replica built for The Boeing Company's 50th anniversary. Though externally similar to the original B&W, it incorporates a number of design changes for safety and ease of construction such as revised tail surfaces, steel-tube fuselage, and a different engine. While the original B&W has one Hall-Scott A-5, 125-horsepower engine, the Museum's replica has a Lycoming GO-435 170-horsepower engine.
Boeing and Westervelt
Prominent timber man William E. Boeing met a Navy engineer named Conrad Westervelt at Seattle's University Club. He found that they had similar interests -- both bachelors liked boating and bridge, had studied engineering, and shared a fascination with the dawning field of aviation. On July 4, 1914, they arranged for their first flights in a seaplane. They were impressed, but both men agreed that they could build a better airplane. The result was the B&W, named after the initials of its creators.
One Better
The B&W's basic design was derived from a Martin T.A. Trainer that Mr. Boeing had purchased after taking flying lessons at Glenn Martin's school in Los Angeles. As he honed his flying skills with the seaplane, Boeing's creative mind raced ahead, figuring improvements and innovations that he would incorporate into his B&W. The most important changes were a lighter, improved aerodynamic wing section and twin pontoon configuration that gave the B&W better and safer landings.
This aircraft is on loan from The Boeing Company.

There were many big contributions tonight, but arguably none bigger than Ben coming back after absorbing that hit I can't get out of my head in the 1st half, after which he could barely limp off the field.
16/21 for 280 yards and 2 TDs, with a broken thumb on his throwing hand, and a high sprain on his left ankle.
Heal up, dude, but what a machine.
Something that looks more like a recap to come.
In the meantime, good win...

FDNY Firefighters Who Donated Bone Marrow Will Meet Recipients for the First Time
Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano, Christopher D. Hillyer, M.D., President and CEO of New York Blood Center (NYBC) and Howard P. Milstein, Chairman of NYBC's Board of Trustees; will add the names of the 2009 FDNY bone marrow donors to the "Honor Roll of Life" at the sixth annual induction ceremony, to be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, January 25 at FDNY Headquarters, 9 Metrotech Center, Brooklyn, NY. There will also be a blood drive on site outside of FDNY Headquarters from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for those who would like to donate blood.
During the ceremony, Firefighter Alex Lee, 27 years old, of Engine 69 in Manhattan and retired Firefighter William (Billy) Pollack, 47 years old, of Engine 292 in Queens will meet the recipients of their stem cell donations. Recipients Gary Williams, 55 years old, from Brandon, Mississippi; and Patricia Naasz, 50 years old, of Stockton, California will, for the first time, be introduced to the firefighters that saved their lives.
Former Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta will be also be honored by NYBC with the Kwalwasser Award for his years of service to NYBC as Community Co-Chair on the NYBC Volunteer Leadership Campaign. The Kwalwasser Award is named after Mark Kwalwasser who founded the bone marrow program with NYBC after his sister Elaine Diedrich was unable to find a match for her condition and passed away.
In 2009, New York Blood Center was proud to celebrate more than 1,000 total life-saving stem cell transplants from members of its registry. Of the more than 1,000 gifts that were made to patients, nearly 13 percent were comprised of FDNY donors. During the ceremony, the names of 10 firefighters will be added to the honor roll, bringing the total number of firefighter donors since the program began to 126.

The hottest trade of the year could soon cool offLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers17 hrs ago
The Dow Jones T ransports are on a tear this year, up 14 percent in 2014 and 30 percent over the last 12 months. That's far higher than its broader-market siblingthe Dow Jones Industrial Average , which has only gained 3 percent in 2014.
So is it too late to get in?
One portfolio manager says yes. Erin Gibbs, equity chief investment officer at S&P Capital IQ, believes the train has already left the station for the transportation index.
"For the transports, I say...it's too late," said Gibbs, who has about $11 billion in assets under advisory. "When looking at valuations and price targets, I really expect the transports to underperform the overall market over the next 12 months."

However, Gibbs said airlines have some leadership within that group, particularly Delta and Alaska Airlines. "Rather than looking at the transports, I say either get an airline ETF or look at the underlying companies," she said. "There are some great winners in the airlines there."
The hidden reason why the rally has legsLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers17 hrs ago
Stocks are continuing to rally, but it may not be about the Fed anymore.
Conventional wisdom has held that recent gains in the stock market are fueled by an eas ing of monetary policy from the Federal Reserve, and higher earnings through cost-cutting, but lacking corresponding revenue growth.
However, thus far, about 30 percent of the companies in the benchmark S&P 500 index have reported their second-quarter results—and the numbers could be telling us that there's more to this rally. The revenue growth rate has been 3.4 percent, with 68.5 percent of companies beating Wall Street estimates (compared with the historic average of 63 percent).
(Watch: Stocks mostly up on earnings; record close for S&P)
For Erin Gibbs, equity chief investment officer at S&P Capital IQ, this indicates that the long rally in stocks still has legs.
Boeing's stock could see more turbulenceAmanda Diaz at Talking Numbers1 day ago
Boeing's stock failed to take off Wednesday despite reporting better-than-expected earnings and raising its full-year forecast. The company reported second-quarter profit of $2.24 per share, almost a quarter above estimates, but revenue was slightly lower than Wall Street anticipated.
The results sent shares of the aerospace giant down more than 2 percent, making it the worst Dow component of the day.
(Watch: Boeing under pressure)
So, is the recent pullback a buying opportunity? Or should investors stay away from the high-flier?
"[Boeing] has been the biggest underperformer of the entire aerospace and defense sector this year. It's lagged all the other names," said Greywolf Execution Partners' chief technical analyst, Mark Newton, who believes Boeing would be a better buy around $107 per share, roughly 15 percent lower than the current stock price.
What Wall Street is missing about HerbalifeLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers1 day ago
It's been a wild few days for Herbalife.
After sinking on Monday as Bill Ackman said he was set to deliver a "death blow" to the nutritional supplement company, its shares soared on Tuesday, enjoying the best one-day spike ever as the head of Pershing Square Capital Management disappointed the bears with his emotional, 3½- hour presentation.
Ackman took a $1 billion short position on the stock in 2012 and has spent $50 million campaigning against the company. Herbalife's business practices are now the subject of investigations by the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission.
On Tuesday, however, the day belonged to Herbalife. And in response to Ackman's call that "it's time to shut the company down," the "Herbalife Truth" Twitter account struck an equally aggressive tone, publicizing the hashtag "#AckmanFail."
But according to Erin Gibbs, equity chief investment officer at S&P Capital IQ, the 25 percent surge doesn't reflect market skepticism of Ackman. Rather, she believes there may be another reason for Tuesday's jump.
Despite the record rally, this could be a big problem for stocksLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers1 day ago
Small caps might be signaling some big worries ahead for large - cap indices, especially the Nasdaq C omposite I ndex.
Since the market bottomed in March 2009, the small-cap benchmark Russell 2000 index has led much of the broader market. But, since the start of this year, it hasn't been just a laggard — it's actually in negative territory . Meanwhile, t he S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Averageand the Nasdaq composite index are all up for the year.
Could this mean the broader market indices could be in trouble?
(Watch: Market trading on fear: Pro)
Gina Sanchez, founder of Chanticol Global, believes so. "It is indicative of a bigger problem," she said. "When we have a recovery, the small caps do tend to lead that charge. It is seen as a sign of a healthy economy to have small caps substantially outperforming large caps in the early segment of a recovery [as] people are buying growth. That's not happening this year."
This is the price McDonald's investors should worry aboutLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers2 days ago
McDonald's is singing a Phil Collins song: "I Missed Again . "
The fast food giant missed Wall Street's earnings expectations for the second-straight quarter as its same-store sales fell for the third consecutive quarter. In the United States, same-store sales actually fell 1.5 percent.
As if problems in the U.S. weren't enough, now McDonald's – along with Starbucks, Burger King, and Yum Brands – is dealing with a scandal in China as one of its meat suppliers was alleged to have sold expired meat to the g olden a rches. McDonald's has about 2,000 restaurants in China.
Gina Sanchez, founder of Chantico Global, said McDonald's brand and growth will likely be hurt in China , but the company itself is still solid.
"McDonald's still has a very strong brand," said Sanchez, a CNBC contributor. "They still have strong revenue growth. Even though their same-store sales are flagging a bit and they did obviously miss earnings, they have a good balance sheet position. They have low debt. They have expanding profit margins. So I wouldn't through the baby out with the bathwater here."
This fast food company is crushing the competitionLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers2 days ago
No matter how you slice it, Domino's Pizza delivered some delicious earnings results topping Wall Street's expectations.
Shares of America's second-largest pizza company were up 3 percent on Tuesday after Domino's earnings and sales beat analysts' estimates.
Domino's also may have eaten a little bit of its largest rival's lunch in the previous three months. Same-store sales for Domino's in the U.S. were up by 5.4 percent and 7.7 percent abroad. Meanwhile, Yum Brands' Pizza Hut saw a drop 2 percent in same-store sales.
Beating its competition is nothing new for Domino's, at least as far as its stock goes. In the past five years, its shares are up an astounding 800 percent, while rivals McDonald's, Chipotle, and Yum Brands are up a respective 64, 641 and 122 percent. But is it too late to buy?
Richard Ross, global technical strategist at Auerbach Grayson, likes the stock and would buy it on Tuesday's breakout.
Ross likes Domino's because its technically significant 200-day moving average held on three tests in the past three months. "That forms a very nice bullish base of support on that 200-day," he said. With Tuesday's breakout above $75, Ross sees the stock headed higher.
Nothing can stop this marketLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers2 days ago
The world is awash in terrible conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East. But you wouldn't know it from the market's reaction.
Despite turmoil in Gaza, Libya, and Ukraine, the S&P 500 continues to make new records. And each instance of global turmoil has provided investors with an opportunity to buy stocks.
(Watch: Russian media on downed airliner: The CIA did it)
Yet Richard Ross, global technical strategist at Auerbach Grayson, is wary of the markets at these levels regardless of the news.
"Technical analysis teaches us that it's not the news itself which is important but the reaction to the news," said Ross, a "Talking Numbers" contributor. "This bullish price action against the backdrop of tragic news is actually bullish for the markets."
Despite this, Ross is negative on the market because of the technicals of benchmark S&P 500 index. "I see some technical symmetry here," he said. The index was 25 percent above its 150-week moving average back in 2011 only to fall down to that level. Today it is nearly 28 percent above the 150-day moving average, currently near 1,550.
A surprising reason for the surge in emerging marketsLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers2 days ago
Despite geopolitical flare-ups in Ukraine and the Middle East, the ETF tracking emerging markets, the EEM, is at its highest level this year and up 6-percent year to date.
But according to Gina Sanchez, founder of Chantico Global, the EEM may have rough roads ahead because of its composition. About 17 percent of the ETF is composed of companies based in China. On a sector basis, tech companies make up 17 percent of the index. That combination could be a problem, she believes.
"In technology we have seen earnings definitely stretched quite dramatically," said Sanchez, a CNBC contributor. "In China, we're looking at the potential of a property slump that could be coming later this year. You can't really discount that and how investors will take that."
(Watch: Which 'swans' are on markets' radar this summer?)
Though Sanchez has been long emerging markets all year, she says she's now "tiptoeing back from that, basically feeling like we're getting to the end."
Sanchez is also concerned about fund flows out of emerging markets. "This could be the beginning of the end of this run for emerging markets," she warned.
Investors should give Visa more creditAmanda Diaz at Talking Numbers3 days ago
Visa shares declined Monday after the credit card company lost a court ruling late last week in lawsuits involving credit card fees.
And investors have given the company little credit of late. Visa is one of the worst-performing stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average year-to-date, down around 1.5 percent. So, is the company maxed out?
"We don't have Visa in any of our advised portfolios, and we're not looking to add it anytime soon," said S&P Capital IQ's Erin Gibbs, who noted that while she loves the company's business model, she is concerned about high valuations. "Historically, it's traded between about 20.5 to 23 forward earnings, and right now it's at 22.8. Really close to the top of that range."

The Valdosta Daily Times
VALDOSTA — Lowndes County school officials said today that a vigil will not be held at Lowndes High School Thursday evening as proposed by a student in today's editions of The Valdosta Daily Times. There will be no vigil Thursday evening on the school's campus for Kendrick Johnson, the sophomore found dead in the old gym last Friday, according to Lowndes County School System.
However, family members of the late Kendrick Johnson will be holding a community-wide vigil at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Saunders Park.
The event will include words from people who know Johnson and will have moments of remembrance for others in the community who have recently passed away.
Aside from honoring Johnson and others, the vigil will focus on violence and the effects it has on the community.

Local author Brian Bogdanoff talked about his book, "Three Bodies Burning," at the Swanson branch of the Omaha Public Library on Thursday. It's about an Omaha murder investigation from 2005.
Police discovered three burned bodies near 60th and State streets. The book reveals it was connected to a drug cartel.
"They'll be entertained beyond belief, they'll get the inside story on the investigation, most people have read it and they enjoyed it, it's almost like a cult following at this point," said Bogdanoff, who donates money made from the book and his discussions to charity. Ten percent of Thursday's proceeds went to the library.

Reid Still Planning to Pull Lever on Nuclear Option
The Senate fails to reach deal to stop major rules change; Republicans warn of retribution.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, left, may use a simple majority to change the rules of the Senate and keep the minority from filibustering executive nominees.
Senators filed out of a closed-door, bipartisan meeting on Capitol Hill Monday night, relieved to have had a rare opportunity to air grievances with their fellow senators, but not optimistic that the rules of their chamber could be changing forever.
The Senate's leadership announced late Monday it was still clamoring for a solution that would keep Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., from using a simple majority to change the rules of the Senate and keep the minority from filibustering executive nominees.
[READ: Senators Squabble Over 'Nuclear' Option]
The so-called nuclear option Reid is considering is a procedural maneuver that would limit the power of the filibuster and in this case stop senators from being able to hold up nominations on presidential appointees.
The Republicans threatened a similar rules change in 2005 to stop Democrats from filibustering judicial nominees, but came to an agreement at the last minute to keep the Senate rules in place.
"There isn't a solution on the table per say, but there is a willingness to discuss," said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D. "What we are trying to get to is something people can agree on in a bipartisan way."
Veterans of the Senate including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who worked together to negotiate a bipartisan immigration deal for the Senate last month, were expected to work alongside leadership to find a solution before the Tuesday afternoon votes on seven executive nominees.
[VOTE: Should the Senate Change Its Rules?]
Tuesday, Reid still plans to bring seven presidential nominees to the floor for a vote. The Senate will vote on Richard Griffin, Sharon Block and Mark Pearce, nominees to the National Labor Relations Board; Richard Cordray to be the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; Fred Hochberg to be the president of the Export-Import Bank; Thomas Perez to be the secretary of labor; and Gina McCarthy to be the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
While senators in the meeting confirmed Republicans had urged Democrats to bring just a few of the nominees up for a vote Tuesday, a deal had yet to be struck. And some were worried the meeting had come too late, after the clock had already run out.
"It was a good meeting. It really was. I think everyone in there came away with a better appreciation for how the other side feels. Unfortunately there are too few opportunities for this kind of dialogue," said Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.
[READ: Democrats March Closer to Changing Rules of the Senate]
Many Republicans had lost hope that leadership would find common ground before the morning.
"I don't feel very good to tell you the truth. I am glad we had the meeting. I appreciate it, but there are too many senators who don't understand the danger of the precedent of a Senate that can change the [rules] any time it wants to do anything it wants to," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. "It might be a Democratic train going through the Senate now, but a year and a half from now, it might be the tea party express and some of them might not like that."

Opponents will need to start paying attention to Wakefield after its impressive 34-24 win against Middle Creek on Friday night.
"We're no secret anymore," said Wakefield coach Rod Sink with a smile.
Wakefield (4-0 and No.11 in the N&O rankings) rolled up 579 yards of offense over previously unbeaten Middle Creek.
"It's our first big test of the season," Sink said. "We talked about this all week. Here's our chance. A lot of people have not said a lot about us. If you want to be talked about in this area you have to win the game."
People also will be talking more about the Wolverines and the breakout play of senior quarterback Evan Brabrand.
Finally out of the shadows of Connor Mitch, who graduated last year, Brabrand made the most of his chance in the spotlight, finishing with
with 445 yards passing and four touchdowns.
"Evan's a phenomenal player. Definitely underrated at his position right now. He stepped up tonight," Sink said.
Wakefield didn't make it easy on itself, committing several penalties, dropping passes and allowing an early blocked punt that resulted in a 17-7 hole in the second quarter.
Middle Creek's special teams blocked Jules Drew's punt at the Wolverines' 20 yard line. The ensuing scramble caused the ball to skitter to the end zone, where it was recovered by Terrance White for a touchdown and the 17-7 lead.
After the teams traded punts, Wakefield closed the gap on a 15-yard TD pass from Brabrand to Kelton Whitehead. Two plays earlier, Brabrand completed a 20-yard pass to Nick Dennis on a fourth-and-15 to keep the drive alive.
The Wolverines then stopped the Mustangs on a three-and-out. Wakefield worked against the Middle Creek defense, and itself, to move the ball down the field. Wakefield committed six penalties for 36 yards on the drive, but the end result was another touchdown pass from Brabrand to Whitehead for a 21-17 lead with 13 seconds left in the half.
"I think that was the turning point in the game. It gave us the momentum going into the half," Sink said.
The teams' respective defenses seemed to settle down to start the second half, but the no-huddle offense employed by both teams was quickly wearing down the defenders.
Wakefield capitalized first using an 11-play drive culminating in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Brabrand to Jake Butler. The score gave the Wolverines a 28-17 lead late in the third quarter.
Middle Creek responded early in the fourth quarter with Elijah Perry's 8-yard touchdown run. The score closed the gap 28-24. The nine-play drive took only 1:28.
However, Wakefield answered on its ensuing possession. Brabrand had passes of 30 and 29 yards on the drive. Whitehead capped it with a 7-yard touchdown run. The extra point was blocked, leaving Wakefield a 34-24 lead with 9:38 left.
Despite the efforts of quarterback Brant Grisel, who finished with 187 yards passing, Middle Creek (2-2) couldn't get the offense clicking for the remainder of the game. Dropped passes and the Wolverines' defense kept the Mustangs out of Wakefield territory for the remainder of the game.
"We weren't supposed to beat this team, so we had a little chip on our shoulder. We really went after it in practice, we really wanted to show everyone we could play," Brabrand said.

We spread ideas with exponential impact.
By Tom Katsouleas, Dean of Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. He serves as Chair of the National Academy of Engineering's Advisory Committee on Engineering Grand Challenges for the 21st Century.
In a recent editorial, Ray Kurzweil, futurist and Singularity Chancellor, compared the current university model to the bookstore model, suggesting that universities will be undermined by online the way that digital books undermined Borders. Others have suggested that universities are headed the way of the newspaper. Others have suggested that online teaching represents a new funding model for universities.
Yogi Berra said predictions are hard, "especially about the future." With that in mind there are a couple of perspectives to take from predictions in old issues of Popular Science or Scientific American: futurists always over-estimate how soon new technology will manifest and researchers in the field always underestimate it. The bottom line, though, is that while online education poses a challenge for universities, they will ultimately improve them.
I'd like to offer a couple of metaphors for higher education today. One is to celebrate the rise of massive open online courses (MOOCs) like the onset of the textbooks coupled with public libraries. In theory, this opened the totality of human knowledge to everyone. In reality though, a lot of knowledge is stored in the minds of scholars pushing the edges of their fields. Which means that at the PhD level, research universities play the roles of powering innovation and passing their knowledge on to the next generation. But those roles are subsidized by the undergraduate and Masters education that pays the salaries of the faculty.
It is at the Masters level that traditional universities will first feel the effect of MOOCs. In our visits to corporate partners like Apple and Cisco, it was clear that most top engineers and executives are using MOOCs for their lifelong learning in a way that some used to use corporate sponsored masters programs. Although universities provide individual and team project-based learning that are still difficult to replicate online, a Masters education can be taken anywhere.
What about undergraduate education? The undergraduate period is the time when one discovers one's place in the world, what it means to be human and develops a sense of joy for the life of the mind. Online education will allow universities to do that even better: for one, they will provide a way for the best teachers to be recognized and promoted for something other than just research, a long time concern in the APT process at research universities. And by moving lecturing online, MOOCs allow in-person time to be more interactive, dynamic and valuable.
There's another benefit to online teaching for universities that my fellow dean and former ATT Research leader Robert Calderbank calls the "rock star effect." For example, people buy an album for $9.99 but pay much more to see Madonna in concert. This is the business model metaphor that most closely fits the future of higher ed: MOOCS like CDs and downloads will enable personal learning opportunities at low cost to a large market, while at the same time universities will provide an environment for a smaller audience of undergraduates to gain wisdom as well as knowledge personally from those who create the knowledge. This will allow teachers to become true educators. And as Duke Engineering Professor April Brown is quick to remind our faculty, the Latin root of the word educate is 'educe,' which means to draw out that which lies inside the student.
There is room for both MOOCS and this type of university experience. Students will continue to see the value of a live interaction versus one through a screen, but not all of them will have the means or ability to pursue that path. We have to take advantage of what each can provide to bring the full value to the student.
Despite the challenges to universities posed by MOOCs, there are great advantages to them as well. And the best universities will be able to capitalize on those advantages to provide the best value for their students – whether that value is online or in person. Despite what some see as a threat to higher education, MOOCs will only help it get better.
Tom Katsouleas writes that people will spend money to see rock stars in person. But the vast majority of professors are not rock stars.
The "majority" are not rock stars, indeed.
What constitutes a "rock star" is, as always, in the eye of the beholder. And for undergraduates, there are very few, if any, academics with which they are familiar. It's an old (and self-serving) conceit within our universities that students know or care about "brand name" academics – they don't, by and large.
Yes I agree with this that MOOCs will help universities in a big way. Number of students have increased tremendously and there is dearth of good teachers. This form of education is the only solution to reach to maximum number of students in minimum possible cost. Some try to point out the difficulty of live interaction with the students. For that one can always use virtual classrooms ( http://www.wiziq.com/Virtual_Classroom.aspx ) and the experience is just like a F2F class.
First, I was told my "college experience" was partially so I could meet and interact with people from different places and backgrounds. Second, my old college courses were like my High School courses, so provided continuity of education. Finally, as the concert metaphor used above illustrates, there will always be people willing to pay much much more for a experience. Besides, it is still considered a pedigree to have a degree from a prestigious university. Tradition will continue the very very inefficient college experience way beyond it's utilitarian life-span.
What gets me is the dinosaurs who claim that personal teaching is somehow better. What they fail to understand is the MOOC will continue to get better, while the college experience will continue to get more and more expensive. Just like people who herald books as somehow better than ebooks, they will go the way of people who prefer their land-line phones over cell phone service. The future is clear.
Dean Katsouleas writes that there is room for MOOCs and universities. If you consider MOOCs as the extreme end of a line indicating the amount of student-teacher interaction (nearly 0) and 1 on 1 tutoring or mentoring as the other end of that line, then we can see there is a large distance between a MOOC and say PhD mentoring. However, the distance between MOOCs and the large lecture model of university education is actually fairly small. If students (or parents) perceive value as the location on this line where most of the education takes place, then MOOCs pose a threat to all levels. If universities want to protect themselves, they should further "distance" themselves from MOOCs on this line.
