Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: TMUS UA DOW APC FIVE ETFC (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:44 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Friday.
William Blair upgraded T-Mobile US (TMUS) to buy from hold. Cramer said both the analyst and the stock have been on fire. TMUS was unchanged at $24.53.
Jefferies initiated coverage on Under Armour (UA) with a hold rating. Cramer said he was surprised because he expects the company to report good earnings next week. UA was flat at $77.20.Cramer said Dow Chemical (DOW) could get out of its low-multiple businesses and into the specialty chemical business, which, in turn, warrants a higher valuation. DOW was unchanged at $38.56. Bernstein likes Anadarko Petroleum (APC) and so does Cramer -- it's a holding in his Action Alerts PLUS portfolio. He said the stock is cheap relative to its peers. APC was flat at $93.01. Cramer said Five Below (FIVE) is like an expensive dollar store, and UBS's upgrade ahead of the quarter was "gutsy." FIVE rose 1% to $39.49. E-Trade Financial (ETFC) is going to be able to return capital to its shareholders, Cramer said, which is very good. EFC jumped 4.6% to $16.26.

O'Connor's future still unclear
Former Wallaby playmaker James O'Connor's manager insists he has not signed with Toulon and remains in negotiations with "several European clubs."
O'Connor, who is at London Irish until the end of the Premiership season, has expressed his desire to play in the 2015 World Cup, which would require him to play Super Rugby next year.
Reports in France suggest that the 23-year-old has signed a deal with Toulon with a clause that would allow the to play in Australia for 2015 before returning to Europe.
Back in December, Toulon manager Bernard Laporte confirmed that exiled Australian had agreed to join the European champions next season. O'Connor had been spotted in Toulon speaking to club owner Mourad Boudjellal and head of recruitment Laurent Emmanuelli in November.
But the player's manager, David Shand, insists that no long-term contract has been inked and that he is negotiating to secure another short-term deal with a European club.
"That was not the case," Shand told Fox Sports News with reference to the reports of the Toulon deal in French newspapers.
Meanwhile, Wallaby coach Ewen McKenzie has confirmed that O'Connor will be considered for selection if he returned to Australia, adding that he spoke to O'Connor "periodically."

There are actually three different palettes you can choose from, but we're loving Flowers 1, with its mix of white, rose, lavender, gold, lavender grey and black shadows crafted into beautiful Warhol-esque flowers. Each of the palettes draws from Warhol's famous silkscreen flora. Etched into the interior mirror of Flowers 1 is Warhol's quote, "If you can convince yourself that you look fabulous, you can save yourself the trouble of primping."
The only problem we have with this palette is that we can't bring ourselves to actually use it! It's just way too beautiful—and it makes us feel like we have a piece of real Warhol art in our home.
NARS Flowers 1 Eyeshadow Palette retails for $55 at sephora.com.

Understanding the difference between ship time and local time is useful for visitors arriving to Cozumel on cruise ships.
Different cruise lines have different ways of deciding what time their ships take.
And, it is even more important around March and November each year, when the U.S.A. moves to and from Daylight Savings Time before or after Mexico.
Carnival and Royal Caribbean (RCCL) cruise ships usually go with the time of their homeport and stick with it, whereas Norwegian cruise ships change their onboard time during the voyage, to match the local port they are arriving to.
The itineraries cruise lines give passengers display ship times, so cruisers should remember this isn't necessarily the same as Cozumel time.
Cozumel is usually on U.S. Central Time, so the same as Texas, but one hour behind Florida, New York and Toronto.
In March, clocks go forward an hour for daylight saving in the States and Canada, but not until three or four weeks later in Mexico.
This means that during those weeks the U.S.A. and Canada are an extra hour ahead.
For example, for these weeks, Texas will be one hour ahead of Cozumel and Florida will be two hours ahead.
This happens again when the clocks go back an hour at the end of October in Mexico, but not until a week or two later in November in the U.S.A.
A new Mexican law is also planned that will mean Cozumel and the surrounding state of Quintana Roo create a separate new time zone and synchronize their clocks with Florida.
The proposal has already received approval by one chamber of the Mexican government and is just waiting for approval by the other before it can take effect, although it's not clear if or when this will happen.
If you're visiting soon on a cruise and are confused, don't worry! Here's a quick reference guide to help you work out what time it is...
Find out about Cozumel tours for cruise ship passengers or more about Cozumel cruises and cruise lines in general.
Disclaimer: we confirmed this information at the time of writing but cruise lines may change their policies and reserve the right to change ship schedules, so please use this information as a guide only and check with your cruise line or listen for announcements once onboard your ship if you want to be sure.

CMS Cameron McKenna partners put extra £7.7m into firm in 2011/12
Readers' comments (7)
Please fully share the secrets of this company's accounts with readers. WHERE had the "partners" got the money from, to begin with?
My question, as always, is a part of the quest for transparency in the "law trade".
The preamble underlying my queries is this: If "licensed lawyers" behave as marketeers, profiteers, touts and such like then they lose any ground for being allowed the privileged access and the claim to audience in the country's courts. It is time that the prevailing privileges were removed and replaced with a system that is in accord with the founding values of the United Nations Organisation which demonstrably is the latest set of codes that can be shown as the UPDATER of the much-touted contents of the Magna Carta.
1350 Hrs GMT Monday 21 January 2013
Where had the partners got the money from? Presumably from clients, after being instructed to advise on deals, cases and other matters where lawyers are generally needed! As for transparency: you too can download any law firm's accounts from Companies House for £1 a time if they're an LLP, which most of them are. Bargain.
Actually, it will be from a bank (loan will be off balance sheet of ) The interest is tax deductible and the loan just sits there until you retire. No point in taking it out of your hard earned profits! That would be too prudent.
CMS not UNO, Muhammad.
Muhammad - a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I'm guessing, Mr Haque, that you have a long-seated major gripe against lawyers...Sorry to see that. Doubtless you will pursue whichever firm you feel has let you down through their approrpriate complaints channels rather than simply 'having a go' at lawyers generally. Meantime, if lawyers are such a bad lot, have you considered reading something else instead of THE LAWYER?
Baldrick's Pants, we'll have none of that nonsense here, thank you.

Politics is an arena in which there are many gray areas, but, because it can simultaneously benefit the good guys and the bad guys, "dark money" may be the grayest of all.
Dark money is anonymous contributions used to fund partisan campaigns, either directly in appeals to vote for or against a particular candidate or indirectly through advocacy on behalf of or in opposition to a cause.
Liberals generally are determined to stamp out dark money, while conservatives tend to be worried about the potential for suppressing unpopular political speech. Both sides have philosophical and practical considerations behind their arguments.
The good side
Transparency in campaign finance is always a good thing. Voters have a right to know who a candidate depends upon for contributions because that provides a roadmap for how he or she is likely to vote if elected.
This may be the major point on which there is the most widespread agreement among liberals and conservatives. Everybody benefits when politicians have to disclose all of their funders.
Full disclosure is backed by The Wall Street Journal editorial page, The American Prospect and just about everybody else in between.
The bad side
It's not so simple, however, when the dark money is funding political advocacy by non-candidates. Liberals are crusading now to force donors to 501(c)(4) nonprofits to be disclosed.
Their point is that voters should know if advocacy on behalf of or against a particular government program or public policy proposal benefits the funder of that advocacy.
Put more bluntly, will George Soros or the Koch Brothers, for example, profit somehow by generating public support or opposition to a bill before Congress?
Or, to come at it from an angle that gets too little attention in this debate, does a bill before Congress give a senator or representative the power to extort contributions from successful businesses? Peter Schweitzer's recent book on this theme ought to be a wakeup call for everybody.
The ugly side
All of that said, there remains the reality that anonymity is sometimes essential to the protection of unpopular political speech.
The Supreme Court recognized this reality in its 1958 NAACP v. Alabama decision that affirmed the civil rights organization's need to protect its donors from segregationist violence. The court also recognized the due process and equal protection of the law aspects of protecting anonymous speech.
The same concern is an ever-present reality for highly visible donors to controversial proposals like Soros and the Kochs. Death threats are an all-too-familiar reality for such individuals, regardless of where they stand on the ideological spectrum.
Dark money is a tough issue that ought not be decided on the basis of cliches or political expediency. But if the First Amendment is to be upheld as the Founders intended, it is a circle that must be squared, somehow.

Many, many years ago when we went on "field trips" we had to ask our parents for permission slips. Well no more. We recently packed up all the wine managers and jetted them out to wine country for an intensive 4 days of tasting, studying and generally saturating them with enthusiasm for all things wine. It was a remarkable trip and I think one that will…ahem…bear fruit for years to come.
We flew into San Francisco and began our journey northward. Our first stop was to our close friends at Whitehall Lane in St. Helena. Tom Leondardini III, family member and longtime friend, made us all feel welcome as we toured and tasted from barrel. The 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (with just a hint of Semillon) was superb, as was the Cabernet and Merlot from this very, very excellent winery.
Next was a short trip over to Rutherford to the 100% organically farmed, solar powered, ultra-green winery of Michael Honig. Michael is wonderful guy who makes great wines that are really underappreciated – except by Wine Spectator who lauded his last two Cabernet vintages with 90+ point scores! His Sauvignon Blanc is killer too. He gave us a taste of his wonderful dessert wine and it is otherworldly. Great sweetness but bright acidity, too! The next morning we visited Sauvignon Blanc-meister, Randy Mason, at his Napa tasting room. Randy has long been a practitioner of this grape and only recently has debuted his more value oriented label POMELO, which has become one of our bestselling white wines under $15! He also has a great stable mate for Pomelo, a Pinot Gris (also commonly referred to as Grigio) called 3 Pears. As a direct result of this personal tasting Randy green-lighted the inclusion of both these great wines in copious amounts during our upcoming Spring Wine Sale that runs from March 29 through April 14.
After that visit, we rode up to the top of Howell Mountain (3,000 feet), where our dear friend Elton Sloane, general manager/partner of the Robert Craig Winery, greeted us with some of the best wine in Napa Valley! From our visit we were able to commandeer a few cases of the Durrell Vineyard Chardonnay and even some Howell Mountain Black Sears Zinfandel. These wines, like all of Robert Craig's wines, represent the finest values available in Napa. The three cuvees of Cabernet – the Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain and Affinity – are all scoring in the mid to high 90s from the critics and the costs are still well under the prevailing averages. Our next stop was certainly off the beaten path – all the way up to Lake County and Jed Steele's beautiful winery. Jed has been a long-time supporter of the Minnesota markets and his eponymous wines have never tasted better. The Catfish Zinfandel, at 13% alcohol, is still one of the truest to varietal character Zins out there. That photo above is an ancient Grey Riesling vine that is well over 100 years old and is still producing fruit. Talk about old vines! We barrel tasted all of Jed's wines and the clear winner was the Pinot Noir from the famed Bien Nacido vineyard, which is incredibly lush and full of red fruit, earthiness and great acid. You'll find this wine in a few of our stores.
Our last stop was to Carneros and the Schug Winery. Proprietor Axel Schug greeted us warmly and I have to tell you we were all blown away with his wines. The Sonoma Coast wines are phenomenal! Very drinkable now (if you want to age your wines a bit, try the Carneros appellated bottling), but full of great complexity and balance. The Chardonnay is more reminiscent of Burgundy than California and the Pinot Noir will give you reason to fall in love! Our final evening we returned to the city and had an incredible seafood dinner on the pier. It was replete with wines from the trip and the resolution to spread the gospel of classic, family owned, California winemaking to all our great customers in the Twin Cities and beyond. I implore each one of you who loves food and wine to put Napa, Sonoma and even Lake County on your short list of travel plans!

No, just kidding. Only trying to get your attention. No prize here. Nothing to look at. Move along.
Unfortunately prime tweeting hours are between 9 am and 9 pm, so I've been forced to write this in blog format. No more putting on airs.
Yes, I have found incontrovertible proof that spending the past 60 days on the internet has made me stupid. I know this, not because I read it in Wikipedia, but because I read it in an article in a high falutin' magazine called The Atlantic. OK, so I didn't really read the article. But I did look at the headline. And that was pretty scary.

Another flake that fades away,
Another love that cannot stay,
An empty body a broken heart,
Another nightmare waits to start.
Another leaf falls off a tree,
Another family left to flee,
The battered babe and torn up mum,
Another dream has come undone.
Another circle of endless hate,
Another innocent at the gate,
I know it hurts and I will weep,
To let my little angles sleep.
And so another confession ends,
Another day to comprehend,
I know that we are split apart,
Just know you are always in my heart.

We've built the world's most comprehensive career test. Our questionnaire measures over 180 traits to match you against 500+ careers. Our mission is to help you find your calling in life.Take the Sokanu Career Test
Massage therapists treat clients by using touch to manipulate the soft-tissue muscles of the body. With their touch, they relieve pain, rehabilitate injuries, reduce stress, increase relaxation, and aid in the general wellness of clients.
Would you make a good massage therapist? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Massage therapists typically do the following:
Massage therapists use their hands, fingers, forearms, elbows, and sometimes feet to knead muscles and soft tissue of the body to treat injuries and to promote general wellness. A massage can be as short as 5–10 minutes or could last more than an hour.
Therapists also may use lotions and oils, massage tables or chairs, and medical heat lamps when treating a client. They may offer clients information about additional relaxation techniques to practice between sessions.
Massage therapists can specialize in many different types of massage, called modalities. Swedish massage, deep-tissue massage, and sports massage are just a few of the many modalities of massage therapy. Most massage therapists specialize in several modalities, which require different techniques. Usually, the type of massage given depends on the client's needs and physical condition. For example, therapists may use a special technique for elderly clients that they would not use for athletes. Some forms of massage are given solely to one type of client; for example, prenatal massage is given to pregnant women.
Massage therapists typically complete a postsecondary education program that can require 500 hours or more of study and experience, although standards and requirements vary greatly by jurisdiction. A high school diploma or equivalent degree is usually required for admission. Most places regulate massage therapy and require massage therapists to have a license or certificate. Passing an exam is usually required for licensure.
Massage therapy programs generally cover subjects such as anatomy; physiology, which is the study of organs and tissues; kinesiology, which is the study of motion and body mechanics; business management; ethics; and the hands-on practice of massage techniques.
Training programs may concentrate on certain modalities, or specialties, of massage. Several programs also offer job placement and continuing education. Both full-time and part-time programs are available.
In states with massage therapy regulations, workers must get either a license or certification after graduating from an accredited training program and before practicing massage.
Those wishing to practice massage therapy should look into legal requirements for the place in which they intend to practice. A fee and periodic license renewal also may be required.
The majority of massage therapists were self-employed in 2010. Others worked mainly in personal care services and various healthcare industries. Many massage therapists work part time; only about 1 out of 4 worked full time in 2010.
Because therapists work by appointment in most cases, their schedules and the number of hours worked each week vary considerably. In addition to hours giving massages, therapists may also spend time recording patient notes, marketing, booking clients, washing linens, and other general business tasks.
Massage therapists work in an array of settings, both private and public, such as private offices, spas, hospitals, fitness centers, and shopping malls. Some massage therapists also travel to clients' homes or offices to give a massage.
Most massage therapists, especially those who are self-employed, provide their own table or chair, sheets, pillows, and body lotions or oils.
A massage therapist's working conditions depend heavily on the location and what the client wants. For example, a massage meant to help rehabilitate an injury may be conducted in a well-lit setting with several other clients receiving treatment in the same room. But when giving a massage to help clients relax, massage therapists generally work in dimly lit settings and use candles, incense, and calm, soothing music.
Because massage is physically demanding, massage therapists can injure themselves if they do not use the proper techniques. Repetitive-motion problems and fatigue from standing for extended periods are most common. Therapists can limit these risks by using good techniques, spacing sessions properly, exercising and, in many cases, receiving a massage themselves regularly.

Today (23 June 2009), I attended a vertical tasting of the wines of the Bazelet HaGolan winery, the wines tasted including the various reserve and regular releases of the winery's Cabernet Sauvignon from 2000-2008.
Vertical tastings always have an added value for the critic or wine lover in that it gives a chance to re-visit wines, many of which were already tasted in the past, to see "where they have gone" and, if the truth be told, to do a double-check on one's previous predictions. What I did learn at this tasting was that some of the winery's pre-2004 wines are demonstrating a somewhat longer drinking window than originally predicted.
The winery was founded in 1998 by Yo'av Levy on Moshav Kidmat Tzvi in the Golan Heights, the first facility of this winery was located in a cow shed and initial production from that vintage year was 1,800 bottles. The winery is currently producing about 55,000 bottles annually, half of those from grapes grown in its own vineyards on the Golan Heights. Until 2005 the winery released only Cabernet Sauvignon wines. The winery's first Merlot was released from the 2006 vintage. The wines are in two series: Reserve and Bazelet Hagolan (know known sometimes as "Bronze"), the first aged in oak for about 20 months, the second for 8–10 months. Production has been kosher since the 2004 vintage.
Present at the tasting were the winery's owner and winemaker Yo'av Levy and representatives of The French-Israel Group which serves as the distributor for the winery. The tasting was held at Nineteen, the new and still running-in restaurant at the Caeseria Golf Club. My thanks especially to Yoav Levy, Arik Segal and Betty Kaen for their courtesies during the tasting.
The Reserve Series
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2007 (Barrel Tasting): Developing in barriques for 19 months at this stage, showing dark royal purple in color, full-bodied, with a perhaps too generous dose of sweet cedar wood and somewhat flabby tannins. A wine so hyper-fruity wine at this stage of its development that it gives the illusion of sweetness. Lacks the balance and structure required for more than very short-term aging. Drink from release. Tentative Score 84-86. K (Tasted twice with consistent results 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2006: Deep garnet towards royal purple, full-bodied, aromatic and with once firm tannins now integrating nicely with wood and fruits. On the nose and palate a hint of Brett but that nicely complementing blackberry, currant and citrus peel notes. On the long, lightly spicy finish a generous note of freshly ground coffee. Drink now-2011. Score 87. K (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2005: Aged in oak casks for 20 months, full-bodied, rich, ripe, smooth, generous and well balanced with currant, berry and plum flavors coming together with near-sweet tannins and tempting smoky oak lingering nicely. On the moderately long finish a hint of bitter baking chocolate. Drink now-2012. Score 88. K (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2004: Dark garnet toward royal-purple, full-bodied, with firm tannins in fine balance with acidity, spicy wood and fruits. On first attack, black currants and black licorice, those followed by wild berries, earthy minerals and Mediterranean herbs. From mid-palate and on, a persistent bitter note has developed that will please some and not others. Drink now–2011. Score 88. K (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2003: Full-bodied, oak-aged for 12 months, with once firm tannins now softened and well integrated. Opens to reveal currants, berries, orange peel, Oriental spices and pepper, all leading to a near-sweet and lightly oaky finish. Drink now-2011. Score 89. (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2002: Inky-dark purple, with firm tannins and generous wood, those integrating nicely to reveal complex aromas and flavors of black currant and black cherry fruits and Mediterranean herbs. Drinking nicely but quickly moving past its peak.. Drink up. Score 87.(Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2001: Don't ask how but somehow over the years I missed tasting this 2001 release. Finally, a happy chance to catch up. Developed in oak for 12 months, intensely dark garnet, full-bodied, with tannins well integrated with spicy wood and showing a generous array of currant, wild berry and orange-flavored dark chocolate. On the long finish hints of bittersweet chocolate and earthy minerals. Fully mature but drinking beautifully and promising to hold its own for a while longer. Drink now-2011, perhaps longer. Score 90. (Tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve, 2000: Holding nicely despite its maturity. Dark garnet, medium- to full-bodied, with once firm tannins now comfortably integrated with gentle wood influences and opeing to reveal blackcurrant, blackberry and earthy minerals. Drinking nicely but fully mature and not for further cellaring. Score 87. (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet HaGolan (Bronze)
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 (Barrel Tasting): Medium- to full-bodied, dark garnet in color, and with a Port-like nose that call to mind premature oxidation. On the palate sur-ripe purple plum and wild berry fruits adding to a not-necessarily sensation of sweetness. Drink from release. Tentative Score 84-86. K
Bazelet HaGolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007: Oak-aged for 8 months, dark garnet towards royal purple, medium- to full-bodied with soft, gently caressing tannins and notes of sweet cedar wood in fine balance with blackcurrant and blackberry fruits. Opens in the glass to reveal blueberries, earthy minerals and a note of freshly roasted Mediterranean herbs. Drink now-2012. Score 87. K (Tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet Hagolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006: My earlier tasting notes holds firmly. Medium- to full-bodied, with chunky country-style tannins and a hint of sweet cedar wood that runs throughout. Opens to show traditional Cabernet currant and blackberry fruits, those matched by hints of light earthiness and sweet herbs. Drink now. Score 87. K (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet Hagolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005: Garnet toward royal-purple, medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins nicely integrated and showing an array of currant, blackberry, vanilla and, on the long finish, minerals and a layer of toasty oak. Spoiled somewhat by a rising musky aroma that comes in from mid-palate. Drink now. Score 85. K (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet Hagolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2004: Deep garnet, medium-bodied, and reflecting its eight months in French and American barriques with smoky oak and soft tannins. Good balance and an appealing array of cherry, raspberry and currant fruits, those with a light spicy overlay that lingers nicely. Drink now. Score 88. K (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet Hagolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2003: Intensely deep garnet, medium to full-bodied with aromas and flavors of spicy cherries, currants, Mediterranean herbs and chocolate leading to a medium-long lightly spicy finish. Mouth-filling and generous. Drink now–2011. Score 90. (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009).
Bazelet Hagolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2002: Deep cherry-red toward garnet, medium to full-bodied, with concentrated currant, blackberry, spice and peppery notes. Good balance between wood and soft tannins and a moderately long finish but, reflecting what I refer to as the "2002 curse", starting to show age. Drink up. Score 87. (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet Hagolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2001: Dark, almost inky garnet, medium- to full-bodied, and holding its own very nicely indeed. On the nose and palate blackcurrants, wild berries and appealing overtones of black olives and earthy minerals. Drinking nicely but fully mature and not for further cellaring. Drink up. Score 88. (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
Bazelet Hagolan, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2000: Garnet, with a good deal of clearing at the rim, medium-bodied, with soft tannins integrated nicely with notes of mint, tar and currants. Somewhat past its peak and going to light hints of oxidation. Drink up. Score 86. (Re-tasted 23 Jun 2009)
And a new entry
Bazelet HaGolan, Chushnia, 2006: As far as I can figure it out "chushnia" translates to sensuality. Whatever, a limited-edition blend (all in all of 628 bottles) of equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, those oak aged in new French barriques for 20 months. Dark garnet, medium- to full-bodied. Beware the tannins as the wine is first poured as they are almost searing, but give the wine time to open and those soften comfortably to show good balance and a mélange of red and black fruits. A hint of sweetness comes in from mid-palate and lingers on the finish. Best 2010-2014. Score 89. K (Tasted 23 Jun 2009)
As to prices within Israel for wines now being released: 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve – NIS 165; 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve – NIS 140; 2007 Bazelet (Bronze) Cabernet Sauvignon – NIS 105; 2006 Chushnia – NIS 280. (For those outside of Israel the current exchange rate is about US$ 1.00 = NIS 4.00.

6 million Americans survive on food stamps and no other income. Former restaurant critic Ed Murrieta is one of them.
Some food writers take the ultimate dining challenge -- eat only the subsistence diet provided by food stamps -- on a lark, or because their cigar-chomping editor tells them to.

AT&T is starting what could become a disturbing trend: Eliminating your ability to pay a flat fee for unlimited Internet usage.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
If you're planning on getting an iPhone, iPad or other Web-surfing wireless device from AT&T, don't plan on unlimited Internet access for a low monthly fee.
On Monday, June 7, AT&T will stop offering unlimited Internet access for new smart-phone customers.
National Doughnut Day, which is today, honors the sweet treat's role in American culture. You can thank the Salvation Army.
If ever a food deserved a national day, it's the doughnut.
Once an icon of American culture, the poor doughnut has lately been much maligned, used as an example of everything that's wrong with American food.
Friday is National Doughnut Day. Let us remember the doughnut's place in our history. Yes, there is free food involved.
Start first with what you can afford for rent. There are several ways to figure that out.

Why am I writing a post about how to find an apartment? It seems so easy, right? Look around in the areas you like, pick a place, sign a lease, and you're done.
Unfortunately, while it seems very easy, the process is fraught with ways you can get screwed.
They can do everything from gripping lids to securing bed slats, and keeping paint cans nice and neat.

The simple rubber (or elastic) band is one of those nifty little items that cost next to nothing and yet have so many uses. There's always a bag of them in our junk drawer, and I also make sure my office drawer has a plentiful supply, too.
But just how versatile is that modest rubber band?
Well, I thought I'd do a little digging. Myscha listed eight great ones already. I have my own uses, of course, and they represent a good chunk of the following list. But I wanted to know how other people use them. I was genuinely surprised at some of the responses I got.
These jobs promise a bigger paycheck than some jobs that require a college education.
This post comes from Donna Gehrke-White at partner site Money Talks News.
Conventional wisdom has it that if you want a good job that pays well, you need a college degree.
But five of the professions expected to see the most new jobs this year not only don't require a four-year degree, they can pay more than the average $46,000 salary of a college graduate.
Get one of these jobs, and you may be the envy of a humanities major with a job paying less than $30,000 a year or no job at all.
Google is blamed for directing a pedestrian to a state highway with no sidewalks.
File this under "We're not making this up": A woman is suing Google after she followed a suggested Google Maps walking route and was struck by a car.
Lauren Rosenberg looked up Google Maps directions on her BlackBerry on Jan. 19, 2009, to walk from a street address in Park City, Utah, to another Park City location. The directions included just over a half-mile walk on Deer Valley Drive or State Road 224, which has no sidewalks and looks like this.
Her lawsuit seeks at least $100,000. Her pain and suffering could very well be exacerbated by comments across the Web.
"PSA for the day: Google may seem all-powerful and all-knowing, but if it tells you to walk off a cliff, you really don't have to," Kayla Webly wrote in her report about the lawsuit at Time.
Want a cheap handset? Steer clear of your carrier.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
In the market for a new cell phone? Consider shopping at the nearest electronics store.
Starting today, Wal-Mart will sell the 16GB iPhone 3GS for $97 with a two-year AT&T contract, instead of the $199 price tag both AT&T and Apple offer. When Wal-Mart announced its planned price drop last week, analysts and consumers alike saw the move as a confirmation that Apple would unveil a new model of the popular smart phone in June.
But it's not at all unusual for big-box retailers such as Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, Best Buy and RadioShack to offer handset prices that are significantly lower than those at carriers.

Darcy Tucker's career with the Toronto Maple Leafs is over, as interim general manager Cliff Fletcher bought out the veteran forward on Wednesday.
"The decision is always difficult when you are dealing with a good person. We wish him well," Fletcher told TSN.
"It's a business, Darcy knows that," Tucker's agent Carlos Sosa told TSN.
"Whether this decision by the Maple Leafs is good business or bad business.only time will tell."
"We've been prepared for everything and Darcy and his family are ready to move on," Sosa added.
Tucker has three years remaining on his contract and Toronto will be on the hook for two-thirds, or $6 million paid over a six year term. Tucker signed a four-year contract extension with the club back in February of 2007.
Because Tucker's contract included a no-movement clause, Tucker had the option of either going on waivers or not. He chose not to and thus becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Tucker's path out of Toronto appears have been laid several weeks ago when the Maple Leafs introduced new head coach Ron Wilson.
"Darcy Tucker for years was one of my favourite players," Wilson said at the time. "Then he started to wear down. What his role on this team will be, I'm not really sure."
The 33-year old forward struggled mightily this season, finishing with just 18 goals and 16 assists in 74 games - down from 24 goals and 19 assists in just 56 games a year ago.
The Maple Leafs acquired Tucker back in 2000 for a package that included Mike Johnson. In eight seasons with Toronto, Tucker has scored 148 goals and 319 assists.
A sixth-round draft selection of Montreal in 1993, Tucker has 197 goals and 239 assists in parts of 13 seasons with the Canadiens, Tampa Bay Lightning and Maple Leafs.

Soa 'The Hulk' Palelei and Stipe Miocic have verbally agreed to fight at UFC 161 on June 15 in Winnipeg, Canada.
UFC officials on Tuesday confirmed the fight, first reported by Australian website MMAKanvas.com.
More MMA
Palelei (18-3) on Monday announced that he had signed a new four-fight contract to make his return to the Octagon after being more than five years removed from a one and done stint at UFC 79.
Palelei has since gone 10-1 outside the Octagon, losing only the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier more than two years ago.
Miocic (9-1), coming off the first loss of his career, will welcome Palelei back at the UFC's first event in Winnipeg.
Miocic rocketed up the UFC heavyweight ranks, winning his first three bouts in the Octagon before Stefan Struve TKO'd him in the UFC on Fuel TV 5 main event last September in Nottingham, England.
No main event has yet been named for UFC 161, although a light heavyweight feature bout between Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua is set. Other rumored bouts include Dan Henderson vs. Rashad Evans and Jake Shields vs. Tyron Woodley.

TKO'd by Eddie Sanchez 5 years ago in '07 at age 30. Back against Stipe now at age 35. Will take Stipe in this one.
I have Soa Palelei for this one. Although Stripe is a great fighter I'll give the edge to Palelei. He's been on a roll.
Yeah beating the 2012 version of Bob Sapp is pretty impressive….
2012 Bob Sapp?? Who's that supposed to be?
The largest "can" in all of MMA and whom Sao fought last year.
lol I hear ya. But I'm giving him the edge b/c he's on an 8 fight win streak all by stoppages. He is a beast of a man. Only 3 losses. Not sleeping on Stipe though he's young and talented.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- John Lewis and I both warned you that Louisville would stumble once while chasing perfection. Steve Andress told you that Indiana would lose to Navy – and that defeat would cost the Hoosiers a bowl bid. Tom Lane nailed the eight-win season for Western Kentucky.
All five of us in the WDRB sports department, Eric Crawford included, whiffed on forecasting how much success Mark Stoops would have during his first year at Kentucky. Everybody predicted at least three wins.
Now, all that's left in the local college football regular season is Louisville's visit to Cincinnati Thursday night. I refuse to wait until Thursday. It's time to distribute report cards on all four programs.
The Good: At least 10 wins and a nice bowl trip should always draw heavy applause. A sense of entitlement is not a fun thing. Ask Florida or Nebraska fans. A choke hold on the Governor's Cup. Record crowds. Top 10 team rankings in a dozen of the 25 statistical categories measured by the NCAA.
The Bad: What more could even a Grinch want? Just this: A win in the one game (Central Florida) that mattered most. Sorry. Expectations changed at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Anything less than another BCS bowl bid in the most winnable BCS conference was going to fail to move the needle. Only two touchdown passes by Teddy Bridgewater in the last three games added to the shrugs.
The Grade: B+
The Good: Unrelenting recruiting buzz. More toughness. Increased discipline. Fan acceptance. Commonwealth Stadium renovation. Keep your eyes off the playing field.
The Bad: Another ziggy in Southeastern Conference play. The only FBS team the Wildcats beat was winless Miami (Ohio). No signs of the Tim Couch to Craig Yeast version of the Air Raid attack. The Wildcats averaged less than 200 yards passing. In 2012, Kentucky was outscored by 19.6 points per game in SEC play. In 2013, they cut that number, but only to 16. If there was a signature moment, I missed it.
The Grade: C
The Good: First win over Penn State in 17 tries. A 20-point victory over Purdue to snatch the Old Oaken Bucket. Top 20 numbers nationally in scoring, passing and total offense. One more victory than last season.
The Bad: Another season without a bowl game. Failure to take advantage of eight home games. A defense that couldn't stop an elevator door from closing, giving up more than 527 yards per game and at least 41 points in all seven defeats. Slipped behind Minnesota, which actually tackles, on the Big Ten grid.
The Grade: C.
The Good: Back-to-back wins against Kentucky. A season-ending four-game winning streak. An offense that scored 30 or more in half its games. More than 2,600 all-purpose yards by Antonio Andrews. Convincing win against a 7-4 Navy team.
The Bad: Turnover after turnover after turnover – 31 in all. A helmet-scratching loss at South Alabama. Back-to-back October losses in Bowling Green. A tie for third place in the Sun Belt. The feeling that it could have been just a little bit better season.
The Grade: B.
The U of L football team isn't the only program that could have benefited from some of the juice that the Atlantic Coast Conference brings. One of the joys of the Cards' move into the Atlantic Coast Conference next season is they will participate in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, the best December event in college basketball.
Too bad it didn't happen this season. Cue your imagination.
Louisville vs. Michigan, Part II. Let's do it. Crisler Arena. KFC Yum! Center. Shawnee Park. Doesn't matter.
Russ Smith vs. Aaron Craft (Ohio State)? I'll take two.
Rick Pitino vs. Bo Ryan (Wisconsin)? I've never seen that.
Sadly, we won't see it this season. But we will see a 12-game tug-of-war, a perfect reason to rank the dandy dozen games coming up Tuesday and Wednesday.
1. Michigan at Duke, Tuesday – I hope Jalen Rose is prepared to tip his cap to Grant Hill again. The Wolverines have two defeats and needed overtime for their only quality win over Florida State. Winner: Duke.
2. Wisconsin at Virginia, Wednesday – According to Ken Pomeroy, the Badgers' offensive efficiency has improved to 15th from 108 this season under the new rules. The defense is constant. Winner: Wisconsin.
3. North Carolina at Michigan State, Wednesday – Which North Carolina team will show up: The one that beat Louisville or the one that lost to Belmont and UAB? Probably won't matter. Winner: Michigan State.
4. Indiana at Syracuse, Tuesday – 2013 NCAA East Regional semifinals – Syracuse 61, Indiana 50; Yogi Ferrell, 0 points and four turnovers in 23 minutes. Think anybody has reminded the Hoosiers' point guard about that? Winner: Syracuse.
5. Notre Dame at Iowa, Tuesday – The under-the-radar Hawkeyes face a quick turnaround from their impressive performance in The Bahamas. Hope they didn't get too much sun. Winner: Iowa.
6. Florida State at Minnesota, Tuesday – The Gophers were this close to beating Syracuse and are unbeaten in four home games. Welcome to real life in the Big Ten, Richard Pitino. Winner: Minnesota.
7. Maryland at Ohio State, Wednesday – Who does Thad Matta know at ESPN? The Buckeyes got the most favorable draw of the night? Winner: Ohio State.
8. Illinois at Georgia Tech, Tuesday – The Illini weren't supposed to be unbeaten, but they are -- including a win at UNLV. Hmmm. Winner: Georgia Tech.
9. Boston College at Purdue, Wednesday – The Boilermakers ended a two-game slide by escaping Siena Sunday. Siena. Siena? Winner: Purdue.
10. Penn State at Pittsburgh, Tuesday – The world would like to see these two teams play in football again. Basketball? ZZZZZ. Winner: Pitt.
11. Northwestern at North Carolina State, Wednesday – Somebody's got to win. Might as well be the home team. Winner: N.C. State.
12. Miami at Nebraska, Wednesday – I wonder what Howard Schnellenberger and Tom Osborne are doing. Sounds like a wonderful night to reminisce about the 1983 Orange Bowl. Winner: Nebraska.
FINAL COUNT: Big Ten 7, ACC 5.
I checked the college basketball pre-season numbers on the Big Ten, American Athletic Conference and SEC.
Ken Pomeroy says the Big Ten is the best league, followed by the ACC and Big East. The AAC comes in sixth, the SEC seventh.
Jeff Sagarin has the Big Ten first, followed by the Big 12. Sagarin ranks the SEC sixth and the AAC seventh.
But in head-to-head games against other opponents from other BCS leagues, it is the AAC that has the best record.
The numbers – AAC 9-9, keyed by Memphis winning its rematch against Oklahoma State Sunday and UConn beating Indiana; Big Ten 8-10, dragged down by a combined five losses by Purdue and Northwestern; SEC 7-11, blamed on three losses by Georgia and two by Alabama.
Not that Georgia or Alabama fans care.
1. What would the college football wise guys be saying if it had been Mack Brown, Mark Richt, Charlie Weis or another media punching bag who had mismanaged the end of game the way Nick Saban scripted the fourth quarter Saturday?
Saban is a great coach. He did not coach a great game Saturday. It happens. But he shouldn't get a pass.
2. Where was Alabama's Number 79 (Austin Shepherd) going? The next time you watch the replay of the bungled final field-goal attempt, look for Number 79 on Bama.
He enters the picture in the middle of the field after Chris Davis is about 20 yards past every Alabama player. But there goes Shepherd, miles behind the play, jogging hopelessly toward the Auburn sideline, looking for … what? His post-game box lunch? A phone booth? A hug?
If anybody knows the answer, please share.
3. Does anybody really believe Auburn is the better team?
I didn't think so.
My question last week was simple: Which college football player deserves the 2013 Heisman Trophy?
Louisville fans, as usual, turned out strong.
1. Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville, 38 percent
2. A.J. McCarron, Alabama, 29 percent.
3. Jameis Winston, Florida State, 15 percent.
4. Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M, 8 percent.
5. Jordan Lynch, Northern Illinois, 4 percent.
1. Florida State
2. Ohio State
3. Alabama
4. Auburn
5. Missouri
6. Oklahoma State
7. Michigan State
8. Stanford
9. Baylor
10. Arizona State

The second largest country in Eastern Europe with a population of 46 million, Ukraine is an emerging free market, with a gross domestic product that has experienced rapid growth in recent years.
It made a major industrial and agricultural contribution to the Soviet economy but once the USSR fell apart Ukraine suffered severe economic woes during the 1990s, including hyperinflation and drastic falls in economic output.
By 1999 its GDP was around half that of ten years earlier. It then grew rapidly until 2008. It was badly affected by the world financial crisis: GDP fell by 15% over 2008 and 2009. 2010 saw a recovery but the country still remains heavily reliant on export to Russia.
In the same way, Ukraine's PR industry is nascent and struggling to gain a secure foothold. It was born of advertising and marketing, making the country's media highly influenced by paid-for content, and indeed even those organisations which do gain editorial coverage still see it as a small part of the marketing mix.
"We don't focus too much on editorial," says Zhanna Parkhomenko, Chief of Corporate Affairs at telecommunications operator Kyivstar. "We are more interested in direct communications with our customers, and this has been even more the case since budgets were cut in 2009."
However, industry experts argue that these fluctuations are typical of a growing market, and point out that until 2008 the PR market was growing by between 30% and 50% every year. Indeed, as the digital market picks up and global brands stamp their mark on the country, the Ukrainian PR industry may finally find its feet.
The most popular print daily is Kommersant. The key weekly titles are Expert, Focus, Korrespondent, Companion, Tyzhden, Delovaya Stolitsa and Profile.
For a business audience the key titles are Kommersant Ukraine, Forbes Ukraine, Business, Delo, and Companion," says Parkhomenko. "For a consumer audience it is Segodnya, Komsomolska Pravda Ukraine, Korrespondent, Korrespondent.net, and Focus."
TV channels include ICTV, 1 1 and TRK Ukraine,
but the most influential channel is Inter, which is owned by the Ukrainian head of state security service, Valeriy Khoroshkovskyi. This fact alone has raised many concerns about the freedom of the media in Ukraine, and most insiders admit that the print and broadcast media in Ukraine are still influenced by paid-for editorial and content.
Around a third of the population is online and digital is certainly growing fast as an important medium for PR campaigns. Facebook is gaining in popularity but still lags behind local social network Kontakte.
Industry is a major element of the Ukrainian economy, with steelworks, oil firms and mines operating in the country. Metinvest Holding has both coal mining and steel divisions; Interpipe works predominantly in steel and Smart Holding works in construction and metal production.
The financial sector is represented by the Ukrainian Exchange and System Capital
Management, while Smart Holding has a fiscal offering alongside its industrial divisions.Multinational FMCG companies such as Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, and Coca-Cola are increasingly important. Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard fly the flag for the global technology market. On a local level, Telenor Group and Kyivstar are mobile leaders and popular Ukraine vodka brand Nemiroff is a top selling drinks brand.
Ogilvy's Russian division, SPN Ogilvy, has offices in Ukraine, Action PR has an operation, and Pleon Talan is an affiliate of the Ketchum network. However, industry insiders report that international groups make up only around 30% of the market.
There are agencies such as Mikhailov & Partners and PRP Group CIS (affiliated to Burson-Marsteller and Weber Shandwick respectively), but much of the Ukrainian PR industry is made up of boutique agencies of up to ten people, for example FMCG specialist Mainstream Communication & Consulting.

Death Rally Released for FreeRemedy Entertainment has released for free the full version of its 1996 top-down combat racing game Death Rally, available in a 42MB download over on FileShack.
The release is ported to run on modern PCs but lacks multiplayer, as Remedy explains "It was built for the modem and IPX network era, and would have needed a full rewrite."
Death Rally was a fine specimen of a top-down racer, with the bonus of upgrading and arming your vehicle to destroy the opposition. Besides, it's not often you get to race against Duke Nukem himself and even shoot up his ride--and live to tell the tale.

Flynn, Keith.
Adult Nonfiction PN1031 .F59 2007
Summary: Trace Poetry's Long Blue Line and Discover the Power and Music in Your Own Voice Poems are made of words, not ideas. Those words are rhythmic and, when chosen and composed properly, are capable of entering a reader's or listener's body and resonating. The Rhythm Method, Razzmatazz, and Memory explains the historical connections between word, image, and sound to empower you to create work that is dynamic, vital, and musical-to create poems that live in the air. The first section, Learning to Listen, begins by reflecting on the birth of the American poetic voice, teaching your to find your own voice by dissecting a poem's line, sound by sound, rediscovering not only the power of their poetry but also where that power comes from. The second section, Learning to Observe, outlines the history of foreign influences-from the surrealism of French writers Charles Baudelaire and Arthur Rimbaud to that of Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali-inspiring you to explore your experimental impulses and discover new ways of seeing. The third section, Learning to Speak, focuses on the influence of music on twentieth-century poetry, beginning with the troubadour and the slave experience, through the eras of jazz and blues, and onto the slam stages of the modern city. The different strategies of these performers offer insight into your development as a creator and prepare you to act as a vocal interpreter of your work. The Rhythm Method equips you with the tools you need to extract the sparks of language, art, and music that have always stimulated and nourished our poetic vernacular and to use the fire to forge your own unique voice and your own style of performance.

Many cafes – including Starbucks – have tips jars near the registers. Pleased customers typically tip thinking that their tips are going to the barista that just served them. Many customers would be surprised to find out that sometimes managers and supervisors share in the proceeds of the tip jar.
In Massachusetts from 2005 to 2011, the proceeds of Starbucks tip jars were shared between baristas as well as shift managers. The problem was that a Massachusetts statute – the Tip Act – bars managers from taking tips from the tip jar. Starbucks employees became upset at having to share tips with shift supervisors, prompting them to bring a class action lawsuit against Starbucks in 2008. The Boston Globe reports that over 11,000 former and current baristas sued Starbucks for violating the Tip Act. The baristas argued that Starbucks violated Massachusetts law by allowing non-waitstaff employees to dip into the tip jar. Starbucks countered that shift supervisors were not really managers because their job function was very similar to baristas.
The federal district court sided with the baristas, and ordered Starbucks to pay more than $14 million for the lost tips. Starbucks timely appealed the decision to the First Circuit. On appeal, the First Circuit sided again with the baristas, and ruled that a Starbucks shift manager is a manager for the purpose of the Massachusetts tip law:
The Tips Act states unequivocally that only employees who possess "no managerial responsibility" may qualify as "wait staff." Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 149, § 152A(a). "[N]o" means "no," and we interpret that easily understood word in its ordinary sense: "not any." Merriam- Webster's Collegiate Dictionary 839 (11th ed. 2003); The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 1192 (4th ed. 2000); The Random House Dictionary of the English Language 1303 (2d ed. 1987). …
Unless we are prepared to ignore both the legislature's use of the word "no" and the commonly accepted meaning of that word — and we are not — it follows that if an employee has any managerial responsibility, she does not qualify as "wait staff" eligible to participate in tips pools under the provisions of the Tips Act.

HANOVER, VA—Three teenage men convicted of murdering a Hanover County teenager will serve nearly three decades behind bars.
Davon Byars, Xavia Highsmith and Kevin Drayton were all convicted of first-degree murder in the January 2012 shooting death of a 16-year-old boy, and will each serve 27 years in prison.
Brett Wells was shot to death in what police called a drug deal gone wrong.
Police say the three men set up a drug deal with the Wells, going to his home with the intent to buy over $1,300 worth of high-grade marijuana.
Court documents show Wells was taken into his bedroom by the three men and a struggle ensued, followed by a gunshot.
The prosecution claims the three men tried to steal the drugs from the victim, but a struggle broke out and the gun was fired.
The doctor who performed the autopsy said Wells was shot when the gun was placed directly against his body and that the bullet went through his heart.
The teens had faced up to life in prison.
