Quiet location. Friendly, attentive desk staff.
This is not a three star hotel as advertised. Not only is it badly in need of cosmetic updating, but basic maintenance seems to be lackingas well. The hallways and elevator were hot. The ac units in two out of our three rooms made odd noises loud enough to wake us. The rooms were hot when we arrived because the staff had not turned them on prior to our arrival. Our suite had central air so it took it much longer to cool down. There were several large black burns in the carpet. There was a loose floor tile in the bathroom and the bottom of the bathroom mirror was rusted. The ovehead light in the bathroom was a bare light bulb. The breakfast buffet was acceptable. Gluten - free options included yogurt, pre made oatmeal, hardboiled eggs, and sausage. Overall, our rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The flat screen tvs are very large. It is obvious that this used to be a nice hotel. If you can find a three star hotel for the same price in a good location, I recommend passing on the Country Inn and Suites by Carlson.

Worked better than I thought that breakfast was in a room across the parking lot from the lobby. I liked being just a few steps from the Capitol building since I hadn't been inside as an adult. The location was close enough to downtown to walk (5 mins to 6th Street), but quite a bit further to go to the more adult area of 2nd Street. Staff was friendly and after my visit quickly corrected a mistake in my billing. Worked great that I had pre-paid via Kayak and had no problems getting my room immediately. Breakfast was included (hard to find) but be aware the only protein was hardboiled eggs and there was very little fruit. At least there were (make your own) waffles!
The construction noise across the street was not very conducive to sleeping late on the weekend. There was a huge gap under the door where light came in and A/C went out - like a motel instead of a hotel. The parking was mandatory valet @ 12.99/day and I don't remember that being listed online (at Kayak). Of course there wasn't another close place to park so I guess it was better than $20/night like some places downtown. This place got very crowded on Labor Day weekend, so check in and check out were kind of crazy.
Nice beds and pillows

The staff is always so accommodating and is quick to help you out. I've always enjoyed the views that I've had from my rooms.
This is the second year in a row I have stayed at this hotel, and I remember last year seeing how everything was going to be renovated and brand new (I remember seeing on the board that all new rooms would have microwaves, minifridges, etc). Because of this I didn't mind that the price was almost double from last year, as I thought that everything was brand new, but when we got to our room it was exactly the same as last year. So what exactly was this pay raise for if I had the exact same room for a much lower price the year before?

Thinker and Experimenter,
This conversation is closed.
How can overly empathetic/sympathetic people compete in this world? Do they eventually end up jaded and bitter?
The saying goes "nice guys finish last". I interpret that "nice" means overly empathetic/sympathetic people who sacrifice themselves for others happiness. Kindness seems to be a sign of weakness in that saying, as though people prey on those kind-hearted people. If it were true, then how do kind people compete in this world? Is it some kind of evolutionary Yin and Yang, where a balance of certain personalities need to exist for progress to happen or do people have peaks and troughs of kindness in them?
Update: Thought I'd share a fascinating article found in the comments below:
It is about the differences between being nice and being kind.
Closing Statement from Dyed All Hues
Thank you all for your well thought comments. I have learned a lot and I hope you've all taken some knowledge from this as well.

Jan 29 2013: Hi Genevieve,
I suppose it's a strange case of empathy. I fully agree with everything you wrote, yet I still empathise with Lance a bit, because I have seen over the past 10 years how the net has been slowly closing in on him but never leaving him an easy way out. There was never a moment when he had the option to say "OK, I admit, I took drugs like everyone else" and get away with a 2-year suspension - they were determined to hang him as an example to all. So he's been kind of forced into this position of holier-than-thou denial which I'm sure he never wanted - and then when his fall comes, it is all the more dramatic.
My analogy is with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Bill did something wrong, but he was not the first to do so - however instead of it being a minor misdemeanour, the Republicans and Kenneth Starr managed to turn it into a much bigger issue without giving him the chance to get out of it. Again, no question that Clinton was morally wrong (just like Lance), but I look at that situation and I empathise with him.
What it says about me that I empathise with people like that is probably something I should worry about :)

Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.
First that this idea even needs to be broached in the first place is ridiculous especially given the lack of clarity in the second amendment (eg it does not specify types of arms so that should be handled by laws not as a "do what you will free for all").
That said it seems there are some major elements that would be necessary to reduce gun deaths in the US and there are some obfuscating interests embodied in the NRA that must be sidestepped or accommodated in the solution.
Four main areas of focus jump out to reduce gun deaths:
1) "mass killings" (included in this would be the 2 or 3 person shootings as well as as Newtown or Aurora types)
2) Accidental shootings
3) Non-owner shootings (eg the shooter is not the owner of the gun)
4) "black market" trading
Added to these I would say the parameter that makes gun control legislation difficult is gun manufacturer revenue stream protection using the second amendment as a shill.
So what are the necessary parameters to make something happen vs. the absurdity of what is going to happen over the next few months in Washington:
1) Figure out a way that shifting policy creates more revenue for gun manufacturers so they get the NRA on board
2) Make sure that guns cannot be used in public places or by someone other than their owner
The Idea - Mandatory gun locks and universal kill switches.
On locks, all responsible gun owners have gun safes. Why not move the lock to the gun's trigger mechanism either with a combination code or biometric locks. That would prevent unauthorized use of the gun by anyone but the owner.
On kill switches, in the same locking mechanism put a chip and actuator that freezes the locking mechanism mentioned above when it receives a certain modulated radio signal.
If mandatory then all existing guns will have to be refitted with the new bolt mechanism creating revenue streams for the gun manufacturers and on all new guns they can charge more creating more revenue.

Jan 20 2013: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO AND NOOOOOOOOO!
almost all of these shootings are done by unlicensed shooters, so what we should do is make it so that the only way to buy a gun is to show a license that says that the person has undergone rigorous gun, melee and safety training, same goes for buying knives.plus only sell such things in establishments so that people have to get off they're fat rear ends and go buy them. my point is there.and even if i get shot by someone who read this and somehow found were i live we should all know, under EVERY mask there is more that just flesh, there is an idea and, my friends, ideas are bulletproof.
Jan 20 2013: Newtown shooter's mother was the owner of the guns. A number of these shooter do not own the guns. And by the way how does that address office shooters. Per the rat comment below population density causes stressors which in some people make them snap. Not everyone that does something crazy is systemically mentally ill. Many can have breaks before which they are sane We have ascribed behavior to any ever growing cornucopia of disorders but the simple fact is that there is no background check or licensing that is going to prevent a certain percentage of the population snapping and already having or stealing someone else's gun. Please address the subject of the idea specifically
Jan 20 2013: Less don't stop there, Anyone found guilty of drunk driving not only looses the right to drive they loose the right to own a gun. Anyone who uses drugs should have their rights to own a weapon taken away. Anyone who strikes their neighbor in anger should loose the right to own a weapon before they shoot their neighbor.
Any person who looses their right to gun ownership cannot be a police officer or Federal employee. Parents with a history of children with correction problems should not be allowed to own weapons. Police officers who have gun accidents in their home should loose the right to own a weapon along with their job.
This is the only way to reduce irresponsible gun ownership.
Piecemeal applications only achieve piecemeal solutions.
Let's make gun ownership a right of the privileged few who can exert responsible gun ownership in their lives, but let's not stop there. Let's move out into the world and take guns away from terrorist nations and those nations that exhibit a pattern of irresponsible gun ownership. We could start with Pakistan. Let's not pitter-patter with them, lets do it in-mass and do it right the first time.
Oh yes...... if you can't read or write, you cannot own a gun. Make the test for gun ownership very reading and writing intensive. If they fail the test, they have to keep trying. Perhaps they might even get educated.
If we are going to weed out the irresponsible gun owners, let's do a good job the first time.

Styling Steps
1 . Apply Mousse
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
2 . Scrunch Dry Hair with a Blow-dryer and Fingers
Use your hand to scrunch the hair as you blow-dry. Remember to keep the blow-dryer on a low speed and heat setting and to leave some moisture in your hair.
3 . Piece the Ends Using Gel-wax
Apply a small amount of gel-wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
4 . Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.

MOSCOW—A plane carrying a Russian hockey team that included former NHL hockey players crashed as it took off from Russia's Yaroslavl airport Wednesday afternoon.
A total of 43 people are reported dead.
Among those reported dead is Pavol Dimitra, the first Grand Rapids Griffins player to make it to the NHL. He played in the team's first season and most recently played for the Vancouver Canucks. Also Stefan Liv, a former Griffin player, was on the ill-fated team's roster.
Also on the plane was Brad McCrimnon, the team's head coach, who played as a Detroit Red Wing and was a coach with the team last year.
Several of the dead possibly include former Grand Rapids Griffins and other Detroit Red Wings players. Ruslan Salei, formerly of the Red Wings, is reported among the dead.
The Yak-42 aircraft was taking members of a professional hockey team to Minsk, the Belarusian capital.
The Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team -- which included players from Germany, Slovakia and Sweden -- was scheduled to play a match in the new Kontinental Hockey League.
The team, most of which is believed to have been on the plane, included defensemen Karel Rachunek, who played with the New Jersey Devils, Salei, and Karlis Skrastins, who played with the Dallas Stars. Josef Vasicek, who played with the New York Islanders, was on the roster.
The Russian Federal Aviation Agency said a number of people had survived the crash, but their condition was critical.
An aviation agency spokesman, Sergei Izvolsky, told CNN the crash occurred around 4 p.m. (8 a.m. ET) during take-off because the plane couldn't reach a safe altitude fast enough.
The aircraft collided with the antenna of the airport beacon, fell to the ground and broke into several pieces and caught fire, Izvolsky said.
It was a charter flight with a plane operated by Yak-Service Airlines, he said. Yaroslavl is about 155 miles (250 km) northeast of the capital, Moscow.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - April showers usually bring May flowers. This year, all of the wet weather may really bring May mosquitoes. Experts are predicting a busy mosquito year because of all of the standing water.
"When we see this much water, we know there is a lot of habitat for mosquitoes. We know there is a lot of potential for them to be breeding," said Lee Mitchell, a biologist with the Toledo Area Sanitary District.
Mitchell says there is already a fair amount of mosquitoes in western Lucas County. They are in the form of larvae, hiding out in standing water. He expects the first batch of mosquitoes to start flying in early May. He says there should be a noticeable amount of mosquitoes by mid-May.
The Toledo Area Sanitary District is already treating for mosquitoes in residential areas. However, the wet weather is a one-two punch for crews fighting the mosquitoes.
"It makes our job difficult, because the water has spread them out. So they are no longer concentrated in two or three places. They are spread out through a very wide area," said Mitchell.
Mitchell says the more standing water, the more potential for mosquito breeding. Crews will have to cover more ground, which takes more time. They will also have to use more insecticide.
However, when it rains, crews are unable to treat because the insecticide is just washed away.
Mitchell says they are most concerned with water that stands for more than two weeks. If you have standing water on your property in Lucas County, you can call the Toledo Area Sanitary District at 419-726-7891. Crews will test and treat your water for mosquitoes.

Why did humans invent sports and why do so many people love watching and playing competitive sports games?
I'm not asking why certain individuals are attracted to sports. Obviously people find it exciting, thrilling, entertaining etc. My question is why do people find it to be so exhilarating?? Why is it exciting? Why is it entertaining? Why do athletes enjoy sports so much? Is it simply the sublimation of our evolutionary drives in a way that is accepted by society? What are the psychological, historical, scientific, etc. reasons for us creating and participating in competitive sports?
Also, how do you think we can use the popularity of sports to make the world a better place?

Social Work Supervision
Presenter: Viviana X. Lucabeche, MSW, LCSW
Description of Session: Participants will understand the parallel process and the importance this has on the function of clinical supervision. Training programs, agencies, and organizations often focus on the administrative role of the supervisor; and subsequently, minimize the importance of the interpersonal relationship between supervisor and supervisee. Trust, empathy, and demonstrating genuineness are core functions in the counseling relationship. Modeling this with supervisees will then assist them in transferring these skills into their work with their clients.

Fairfax County school officials are expected to decide this week whether to move some of the students enrolled in the county's most academically advanced program for elementary and middle school students into less crowded schools.
The plan has prompted parents to pack school board meetings, with some praising a move to alleviate overpopulated schools and others worried about uprooting students.
Four elementary schools that house Advanced Academic Program Level IV centers are overcrowded: Haycock in Falls Church, Louise Archer in Vienna, Lorton Station in Lorton and Hunters Woods in Reston. Haycock and Hunters Woods each has nearly 200 students more than their buildings were intended to hold, enrollment data show.
To alleviate some of the problem, the county school board is considering relocating some of the students starting in the program to new centers at Lemon Road, Westbriar, Silverbrook and Navy elementary schools.
For example, rising third-grade students at Lemon Road, Shrevewood and Westgate elementary schools who qualify for the program this year went to Haycock. If the proposal passes, they instead would go to Lemon Road next year and continue there through sixth grade. Staying at Haycock would be advanced students who now go to Chesterbrook, Franklin Sherman, Haycock and Timber Lane elementary schools.
School board members Janie Strauss and Pat Hynes also have proposed new centers at Cooper, Herndon and Thoreau middle schools to alleviate overcrowding at Kilmer, Longfellow, Hughes and Luther Jackson middle schools.
The move makes sense, said Stephanie Bollini, who has three children at Louise Archer, including a third-grader in the program.
The change would send advanced third-graders at Freedom Hill, Stenwood and Westbriar elementary schools to a new center at Westbriar, reducing the enrollment at Louise Archer by an estimated 50 students in the first year and 200 students in the 2016-2017 school year. Since Louise Archer is the neighborhood school for
Bollini's children, the change would not require them to relocate.
"Our music department is in trailers," Bollini said. "We have to lose at least 120 kids in order for us to gain back the art room, the reading resource room and the music room."
But as proposed, the changes don't go far enough, Strauss said. She has proposed that in addition to the third-graders, rising fourth- and fifth-grade students at Haycock Elementary, whose neighborhood schools are Lemon Road, Shrevewood or Westgate, relocate to the new center at Lemon Road. That would take an estimated 147 students out of Haycock immediately.
Even with those changes, the school will still be overcrowded, Strauss said, but it's a start.
"They can't really go on with the number of children in the building."

Add seasonal style with blissful berry shades
Get fruity! What better way to liven up a drab interior than with a juicy burst of berry?

Here's a few of our favourite homewares on the high street that embrace the trend…

Luxurious and lovely, Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen's Influence cushions work berry shades with style too.
Meanwhile, LSA's set of four Coro tealight holders and Coro Wine glasses from Beth Stevens would look gorgeous on a dark mahogany dining table.

Definatly a sweet add on to Mossbergs double pistol grip rig
Fits well on my Mossberg Maverick 88 (500). Easy to install. Looks good also.
Have a gray Mossberg; so, . . . the black stock does not really match up well. Maybe a new black Mossberg is in order!
Needed to open up mount hole some. Molding left plastic in hole. Fits well and functions great with my mossberg "persuader"

Kinda bland. Good recipe to start with minus all the fat of typical alfredos. I didn't have any onion, so I substituted 2 cloves of garlic. Add the Parmesan when it's on the plates rather than the dish.

Before he goes off on his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, singer David Archuleta is getting a little acting experience overseas.
The pint-sized performer from Murray, Utah, is in Manila, filming a miniseries, "Nandito Ako," for Filipino television.
It's the first time he's appeared on TV as a character other than himself. (He has appeared on "iCarly" and "Hannah Montaha," making him the Switzerland in the great kiddie cable TV war.)
Archuleta tweeted this message on Monday: "And it's a wrap for the 1st day of filming! Man, what a learning experience it's been already, haha. It all starts again tomorrow."
He also posted a quick message to fans on YouTube. (Click the image above to watch.)

Real estate, education, salaries ... get the numbers behind the stories.
Last month, Gov. Jerry Brown released the revision of his budget for 2013-14. Even though the taxes collected by the state this year were $4.5 billion higher than predicted, the governor is taking an extremely cautious approach too cautious when it comes to tackling climate change, which we think needs an aggressive approach.
The idea to enact an urban limit on Modesto housing and reduce sprawl onto our best farmland has value. Yet it has been met with an amazing amount of resistance.

It isn't every day 12th District Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen can be seen holding hands with the Obama administration, yet there she is, like Jack and Jill going up the hill to fetch a pail of oil. That's right, oil. In a March 22 commentary ("Valley's economic recovery lies in shale deposit"), Olsen trumpeted the exploitation of shale trapped oil found in large deposits from Kern County to the west side of Stanislaus while the Obama administration, through the Bureau of Land Management, has approved the lease of 2,700 acres in Fresno and Monterey counties to oil and gas drillers.
Climbing slowly from a deep recession, the usual suspects awake from hibernation and reveal they haven't learned anything. The developers, land-use attorneys, real estate speculators and their favorite politicians are ready to get rolling.
'Sorry, could you please repeat that. I did not catch what you just said." I should print those words boldly on a sign which I could hold over my head as I walk through life alongside my 30 million fellow Americans with hearing impairment. (Some say it is 50 million; whatever the number, there are a lot of us in this stress-filled situation.)
Editor's note: Masumoto gave the commencement speech at UC Merced on May 19. This is an excerpt from that speech, expanded to include high school graduates.
Even when a gang member rarely and remarkably achieves a glimmer of cultural perspective, he or she remains trapped by their culture, bad or forced choices.
We have been exploring the neighborhood looking for new spots along the Stanislaus River to park and jump in to cool off on a hot summer's day. Most of the "fishing access" parks are quite handy. We recently spent a wonderful morning at Fox Grove Fishing Access off Geer Road, and I was surprised by a lot of things.
The words "fun" and "math" are not usually mentioned in the same sentence but they were recently. "They make math fun," said sixth-grader Nayeli Garcia. "It makes you want to come back."
Over the course of a career, firefighters are relentlessly exposed to a hellish mix of toxins. These exposures put firefighters at a substantially greater risk of getting cancer a reality documented in more than 80 peer-reviewed medical studies.
We adopted kids don't like to think of ourselves as unwanted. We prefer the idea that we were just born in the wrong place and needed extra time for the best people to find us, then love and raise us. May is National Foster Care month, so you can guess what I'm asking you to consider.
History has taught that rivers flood and levees fail. Expanding floodways, restoring floodplains and allowing rivers to be rivers saves lives and taxpayer dollars. We can't prevent flooding; the best we can do is reduce its risk. Retiring low-lying, flood-prone riverside land is a cost-effective strategy to reduce flood risk and protect people and property.
Mark Twain's first published story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" was read with amusement nationwide after being printed in the New York Saturday Press in 1865. The story's main character, Jim Smiley, arrived in Angels Camp during the Gold Rush and was described as "the most curious man about, always betting on anything that turned up." Smiley said his frog, Dan'l Webster, "can outjump any frog in Calaveras County."

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A man who led police on a 60-minute chase from Cudahy to downtown Los Angeles that involved three separate police agencies died today as the result of an officer-involved shooting. The man, who was shot an unknown number of times as he exited a late-model silver Corvette at the end of the chase, was pronounced dead at a hospital at 2:30 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Lt. Andy Neiman said. The shooting will be investigated by the LAPD Force Investigation Division, Neiman said.
The chase ended at 10:30 p.m. Friday when the Corvette struck an unidentified vehicle at the intersection of East Olympic Boulevard and South Los Angeles Street, LAPD Officer Rosario Herrera said.
A videographer at the scene said the Corvette appeared to have struck a Nissan Maxima from behind, and sustained extensive damage to the front end.
Aerial footage that was broadcast showed the suspect being shot and collapsing on his back on a sidewalk, on what the videographer said was the northwest corner of the intersection.
The footage and the videographer's description suggested the suspect was a white male, wearing jeans, a grey sweatshirt and white shoes. Another videographer said CPR was performed on the suspect, who was then taken away by ambulance.
The vehicle had been pursued by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol vehicles before the LAPD took over at 10:16 p.m., Herrera said. "It was in our jurisdiction and it just happened that the officers were in the area," Herrera said. "We did go into tailing mode and then we went into pursuit."
Lt. Josh Barton of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department East Los Angeles station said the pursuit began in Cudahy at 9:30 p.m., when deputies attempted to pull the driver over for drunk and reckless driving.

The number one application for creating alluring and audience-friendly presentationsby Chloe Slye
PowerPoint 2013 is the new version of Microsoft's presentation program for PC and is part of the Office 2013 suite.
New to this version of the acclaimed software is the large variety of themes for which you can choose to apply to your presentations. You can tweak and edit them making them as unique as possible. There are fantastic guide lines to help you make the most visually dynamic and captivating demonstrations, proposals, launches, and exhibitions. The best thing about it all is that you can add videos to PowerPoint, embed audio files, arrange images and animations and use icons, among other multimedia elements. Moreover can design your presentations in a panoramic version that beautifully immerses your audience in a 360° scope of the thing you wish to show-off.
You can create a dynamic and striking presentation for your audience. There are countless tools designed to help you impress viewers. With access to the exclusive "presenter view" you'll see all slides as well as a number of special options. Meanwhile, your audience, will only see what you select. This makes the representation as a whole appear professional as the motion is entirely fluid and organized. For instance you'll be able to select any slide, zoom in and emphasize specific points to attract the viewers' attention where you need it.
As PowerPoint 2013 is part of the Office 365 suite, you'll also find tools and functions designed to improve connectivity. With this application it will be easier for you to work with others and to access their projects from anywhere, since by default, files are saved in Microsoft Skydrive. If you want to work in a group, you must simply send all the members a link to the file, as well as the editing rights to let them modify the most recent version of the presentation. As in previous versions, it´s possible to leave comments and markers as well as to reply to other users.
PowerPoint 2013 is an essential application that you should definitely download!
- Large number of themes and variations
- Improved editing functions
- Presenter view
- Simplified shared use
- Integration with SkyDrive
- Can be a little more complex to use for those who aren't as computer-comfortable
PowerPoint 2013 - available for Download

Last week's binders are this week's horses and bayonets.
President Barack Obama's sarcastic knock of Governor Mitt Romney's views on the military budget — saying the military has fewer "horses and bayonets" and Navy ships than it previously did because of changing needs — was the most tweeted-about topic of last night's third and final presidential debate.
The debate overall generated 6.5 million tweets, according to official Twitter statistics — the lowest number of all three debates. The "horses and bayonets" comment alone sparked more than 105,000 tweets and also immediately spawned a parody account, @horsesbayonette.
Here's a breakdown of the 20 best celebrity tweets on the debate:
In this election cycle, the Monday morning quarterbacking that takes place after major political events consists less of determining a winner than it does exploring what new Internet memes were birthed.
Nowhere has that been more evident than after Tuesday's debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney — the second of three verbal contests between the two presidential candidates before the election on Nov. 6. (The final debate will be held next Monday, Oct. 22).
When Romney opted to use the unfortunate wording "binders full of women" to illustrate his efforts to create a diversified Cabinet when he was governor of Massachusetts, the Internet latched onto the phrase faster than Felix Baumgartner plummeted to earth earlier this week. By the time the debate was even over, Romney's description had spawned a Facebook page (which had more than 275,000 "Likes" by mid-morning on Wednesday), a Twitter handle and, perhaps best of all, the website bindersfullofwomen.tumblr.com, which features parody photos of everything from Paula Deen riding on a binder to Romney and Paul Ryan holding Carly Rae Jepsen hostage in a file folder.
It was over before it even began. NBC is not moving forward with Dane Cook's midseason comedy Next Caller.

Thursday's vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan generated more than 4 million tweets, according to official statistics from Twitter. And, needless to say, several of those comments came from celebrities weighing in on the election.
Here's a roundup of some of the best reactions:
Comedian Dane Cook apologized Friday after he used the Aurora, Colo. Dark Knight Rises massacre as material in his stand-up comedy act Thursday night at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
"I don't know if you've seen the movie, but the movie's pretty much a piece of crap," Cook told the audience Thursday. "Yeah, spoiler alert. ...

Why GNC Isn't Scared of Amazon
Adam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the bane of any company in retail. Those smiley-faced boxes showing up on everyone's door step have put frowny-faces on many retail executives. Customers continually turn to the low-margin retailer looking for the lowest prices available. As more and more items find their ways into Amazon's warehouses and their digital shelves, companies are losing sales and struggling to fight back. Recently, customers have seen Amazon bulking up with GNC (NYSE: GNC) products. Will that make GNC the next retailer to suffer at Amazon's hands?
Product exclusivity
Exclusive and premium products have been GNC's strategy for years. It consistently rolls out products from its own labs, and signs exclusive contracts to produce new products from third parties. However, the growth in GNC, particularly its franchising segment, has disrupted this exclusivity.
William Blair analyst Mark Miller recently took a random sample of 100 items sold at GNC stores. Of the 100, weightlifters and health-enthusiasts can buy 84 on Amazon.com. That's a stark increase from the 67 Miller found a year ago. Comparatively, Amazon offers approximately 72% of the same merchandise as Best Buy, and most investors are aware of that company's struggles with respect to Amazon.
By franchising its stores, GNC has opened up its products to the will of franchisees. Many of these franchisees have elected to use Amazon to distribute the GNC branded products, offering them at discounted prices compared to those found in-store. On average, the items sold for a 20% discount through Amazon, according to Miller.
The (not-so) secret weapon
GNC's customer rewards program is one of the best in the retail industry. The Gold Card – which nearly 6 million customers pay $15 a year for – entitles members to a 20% discount on their purchases in the first week of every month. Interestingly, this is the same as the average discount on Amazon. Franchisees must figure that with the growth in Gold Card membership, they might as well sell items on Amazon for the Gold Card price.
Recently, GNC started making changes to the Gold Card membership experience. One of the biggest complaints from members was that they were only able to gain the benefits of Gold Card membership for one week out of every month. In response, GNC started testing everyday discounts to members in select markets starting in 2010.
In every market where GNC rolled out the new membership program, the results are the same: Margins take an initial hit, as expected. After about three to four months, stores cross the margin dollar neutral line. Then they accelerate quickly due to the increased amount of traffic and transactions. The changes generate significant increases in revenue, traffic, and gross margin dollars.
GNC will continue rolling out the new program to new markets in 2013. The structured rollout dissipates the impact on margins for the company's retail segment. The price parity with Amazon gives customers less incentive to use the online retailer, and more impetus to talk to extremely knowledgeable in-store staff members or using GNC's own website. Furthermore, the increase in Gold Card members gives GNC more insight into customers' behaviors and the products they want, producing a pipeline for new products.
Why don't they just stop the franchisees?
If the new Gold Card membership plan fails to mitigate the effects of Amazon.com sales of "exclusive" GNC products, perhaps GNC will take more drastic measures against franchisees. So far, however, there hasn't been much noticeable negative impact on GNC's finances. Gross margin increased to 38.3% in 2012 from 36.4% in 2011. Additionally, franchise sales grew from 16.2% of total revenues in 2011 to 16.8% in 2012, giving no signs of uncontrollable Amazonian cannibalization.
The continued growth in company-owned retail has undoubtedly dulled any effect of "rogue franchisees." Meanwhile, the growth in franchising is an easy and effective way to increase brand identity, especially abroad. Cutting off franchisees from Amazon may slow the growth of the franchise segment, so until there are clear negative affects the avenue ought to remain open.
Of course, this is a weapon GNC management can hold in its back pocket. The company ultimately controls the distribution of its products, and it's control that's led the company to fantastic results in the past. GNC appears well positioned to fend off Amazon with its slew of premium if not exclusive products, and I see no reason why the stock won't continue higher after another fantastic expectation-beating quarter.

* Couple became engaged in Kenya last month
* William asked her father for her hand
* They will marry in spring or summer
* David Cameron says he's 'delighted' at the news
Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged and will marry next year, Clarence House announced today.
The announcement came after speculation reached fever pitch following a visit by Kate's parents to the Queen's Scottish estate last month.
The invitation was seen as a clear sign that the couple were poised to announce they were marrying and it was revealed today they became engaged in Kenya in October.
The couple have been together for eight years and Kate had been dubbed 'Waity Katy' amid criticism that she just hanging on for a proposal.
The pair have been together for eight years and have recently been spending much of their time in north Wales where William is a search and rescue pilot.
Their wedding, scheduled for 2011, will be the biggest royal event since the wedding of William's mother and father in the 80s.
Clarence House said: 'The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.
'The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.
'Prince William and Miss Middleton became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya.
'Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family. Prince William has also sought the permission of Miss Middleton's father.
'Following the marriage, the couple will live in north Wales, where Prince William will continue to serve with the Royal Air Force.'

AFT Condemns Arizona Laws Targeting Immigrants
The AFT executive council on May 13 unanimously condemned Arizona's recent immigration law that allows authorities to stop a person and demand proof of immigration status on the basis of "reasonable suspicion" that he or she is not authorized to be in the country.
"The law targeting immigrants is egregious—it legalizes racial profiling, generates fear and perpetuates discrimination. This goes against our fundamental beliefs as a nation, and is the wrong message to be sending to our schoolchildren," says AFT president Randi Weingarten. "We are gravely concerned that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's latest action on Tuesday banning ethnic studies, combined with the law targeting immigrants, compromise the fundamental rights that we have worked so hard to embed in our national consciousness."
The council expressed concern about the racial and ethnic undertones of these mandates—and the fact that they have now reached the state's public schools: The Arizona Department of Education is singling out teachers with "heavy" or "ungrammatical" accents and banning them from teaching English classes.
"We are a nation enriched by its immigrants, and we must value our diversity, not declare war on it. Prejudice has no place anywhere, especially in our public schools," Weingarten says.
The AFT has a long and proud tradition of advancing social justice and civil rights, and of fighting to give not only teachers, but all Americans, access to a better life. Immigration, as President Obama has said, is a federal issue that must be dealt with through comprehensive immigration reform. The AFT commends Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) for taking the initiative to move forward with an immigration reform blueprint, and we encourage Congress to take up this issue as soon as possible.

Any computation that is needed for the model takes place in the cloud.
