The question is how best to do so.
Two weeks ago, Barron's recommended that the company nearly double its dividend to 4%, as the move likely would attract income-oriented investors and lift Apple's depressed shares (ticker: AAPL), then trading for $440 each (see "Rx for Apple: The 4% Solution," Jan. 28).
Others think Apple should boost its meager buyback program, as the shares, which closed for the week at $475, trade for less than 11 times projected profit of $44.75 a share for the fiscal year ending in September. The effective price/earnings multiple falls to 7.5 if Apple's $137 billion, or $145 a share of cash, is excluded.
Investor David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital has an intriguing third alternative that involves issuing preferred stock. His advocacy of that idea, and a lawsuit he filed against Apple, elicited a surprise statement from the company last week that Apple has "been in active discussions about returning additional cash to shareholders." The stock rose 5% on the week.
David Einhorn has a novel plan to unlock value. Scott Eells/Bloomberg
Einhorn thinks Apple initially should issue about $50 billion of preferred stock to shareholders—one preferred share with a face value of $50 for each common share. He argues the two pieces of paper would be worth more than Apple's current price because investors would put a higher P/E multiple on the preferred than the common, because of demand from income investors.
Einhorn estimates that the Apple preferred could yield just 4% and trade at about face value, or par. This means $1 of Apple earnings would be capitalized at a P/E of 25 as preferred, versus just 11 for the common shares. The common shares would decline after issuance of the preferred because net income would be diverted to pay preferred dividends, but the common-price drop would be much less than the value of the preferred.
"We think for every $50 billion of preferred that Apple issues, it would unlock about $32 a share in Apple," Einhorn told CNBC. He seems to be saying investors would get $50 of preferred and see the common fall about $18 a share. If Apple issued $500 billion of preferred and allocated about half its earnings to preferred dividends, it could unlock $320 a share of value.
Einhorn first broached the preferred idea at the Ira Sohn conference in New York last May, suggesting five companies that could benefit: Apple, Dell (DELL), Microsoft msft -0.46532743161956647% Microsoft Corp.

Einhorn cites multiple benefits, including no immediate use of cash and no refinancing and default risk, since the preferred presumably would be perpetual. Apple could omit preferred dividends without causing a default since preferred is equity, not debt. A key impediment to the Einhorn idea is that no company is believed to have tried it. His response: "Some may object that there is no precedent for this idea. That is because this is a new idea."
Others say that the preferred might have to yield closer to 5% to trade at par.
Despite the merits of the Einhorn preferred, a conservative Apple probably won't be the first to try it out. It's a better bet that Apple takes a more conventional route. Boosting its dividend and buyback programs this year would be welcome news for Apple holders.

Caesars (ticker: CZR) went public a year ago in a tiny initial offering, after it was taken private in a top-of-the-market $30 billion leveraged buyout in 2008. Its shares came public at $9, and were at $14 when our skeptical article was published ("Is Caesars a Sucker's Bet?" Feb. 13, 2012). We urged investors to consider other, less-leveraged regional casino outfits, such as Ameristar Casinos (ASCA). These shares are up sharply since then.
Caesars Palace, Las Vegas Marianna Day Massey/ZUMAPRESS
Caesars shares spiked last week, rising 78%, to $13.91, on renewed hopes that Congress will legalize online poker after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he supports the idea. Caesars amounts to a wager on whether online poker is legalized nationally. It has one of the best brands in the World Series of Poker and believes it would be one of the biggest beneficiaries. The shares look pricey because of Caesars' enormous debt load. The stock, however, is dangerous to short since the public float is just a fraction of the 125 million outstanding shares.
The Christie development may not mean much. New Jersey may legalize online poker, but that wouldn't generate much revenue for Caesars. It needs national action—and it's not clear how Christie changes that calculus. Congress refused to legalize online poker late last year.
Caesars has a byzantine capital structure with net debt of $22 billion, 11 times annual cash flow. Its key unit, Caesars Entertainment Operating, which controls most of its assets, will burn through an estimated $450 million to $600 million in cash in 2013 and 2014, according to Fitch Investors Service.
There appears to be no equity value in Caesars core casino business, but the company controls some assets not directly pledged to bondholders, including Caesars Interactive, the online-gaming unit. The key issue: Can the private-equity sponsors hand these businesses to equity holders without lawsuits from bondholders? This is tricky to handicap, given the wording of Caesars' bond indentures. Wall Street firms active in the junk and distressed-debt market are rumored to have spent lots of time and money trying to figure this out.
Last week, Caesars took a step toward separating those assets by announcing that it will create Caesars Growth Venture Partners, an entity that would hold the online business, two casinos, and $1.1 billion face amount of Caesars' debt.
"The company is trying to extend the runway by pushing out its debt maturities and create value for equity holders," says John Kempf, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets. He values the proposed Venture Partners at about $2 billion or more and assumes that equity holders may get half.
There could be no equity value in Caesars, if bondholders get all of its assets. Reflecting that possibility, some Caesars debt trades for just 70 cents on the dollar and yields 20%. "The story may be bondholders versus shareholders," Kempf says.
It is hard to say who will win. Apollo (APO) and TPG are sitting with large paper losses and are working overtime to derive value from one of the past decade's sorriest big leveraged buyouts. Regardless of whether they or the bondholders have the better hand, the poker game will be fascinating to watch.

As to the campaign "I'm not ashamed of Jesus", it's completely not true that any political party used it in the campaign. Where are you taking such things from?
Your account of the Olympic situation is also very far from truth. She didn't say that it wasn't a big deal. And yeah, she said that there will be other tournaments. She meant that she can't allow herself to be depressed after that loss, because the season is far from over.
Also, sorry for the off-topic, but I had to answer this post, because some non-Polish members of the board might believe this hater.
I knew it wasn't a good idea writing that post. I just wanted to tell everything in shortcut. And my post is about those haters and dumb people. It's not like everyone is like that. I should have mentioned that the interview was after mixed doubles and she was with Matkowski. He is a funny guy, so she was trying to be funny also. I'm not a hater, I wish she would win a Grand Slam. IMO it's nothing wrong in having your own opinions and beliefs. I'm not talking that's her fault. About that campaign, I agree and apologize. I've read about it and it was just my mistake.

Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 4 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin expression in visceral adipose tissue is related to iron status and inflammation in human obesity

Get AccessAbstract
Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate (STEAP)-4 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are novel adipokines related to iron homeostasis with potential roles in insulin resistance and inflammation. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of obesity and iron status on gene expression levels of STEAP-4 and NGAL in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and its implication in inflammation.
VAT biopsies obtained from 53 subjects were used in the study. Real-time PCR and Western-blot were performed to quantify the levels of STEAP4 and NGAL in VAT as well as the association with other genes implicated in inflammatory pathways. Circulating ferritin and free iron concentrations were also determined.
Obese patients exhibited significantly increased STEAP4 and NGAL mRNA expression levels (P < 0.001) compared to lean subjects. Protein expression levels of NGAL (P < 0.05) and STEAP4 were also higher in the visceral fat depot of obese patients, although protein levels of STEAP4 did not reach statistical significance. A negative correlation (P < 0.05) between free iron concentrations and gene expression levels of both STEAP4 and NGAL was found, while circulating ferritin concentrations were positively correlated (P < 0.05) with NGAL mRNA after body fat (BF) adjustment. Furthermore, a significant positive association between STEAP4 and NGAL gene expression levels with inflammatory markers was also detected (P < 0.01).
These findings represent the first observation that STEAP4 and NGAL mRNA and protein levels in human VAT are related to iron status. Moreover, STEAP4 and NGAL are associated with pro-inflammatory markers suggesting their potential involvement in the low-grade chronic inflammation accompanying obesity.

Results tagged ' Curt Smith '
Canada's moment in Cooperstown
Jerry Howarth is a Toronto institution, having been a member of the Blue Jays radio team for three decades. During that time, his press box seat enabled him to witness firsthand the accomplishments of two of this year's inductees – general manager Pat Gillick and second baseman Robert Alomar – as they enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
"I came to the Blue Jays in 1982, my first full season, and I met Pat and we had a lot in common," said Howarth, an invited guest of Gillick's to this year's Induction Weekend, after attending, appropriately enough, a presentation by author Curt Smith on his new book, A Talk in the Park: Nine Decades of Baseball Tales from the Broadcast Booth, that was held before a full house inside the Bullpen Theater on Friday afternoon. "We're both from California, we both love baseball, and he was very good to me as I started to enjoy Blue Jays broadcasts. He was encouraging.
"But I could tell that he was someone special, too, who listened, communicated well, and had a bevy of scouts that were so loyal to him. Then I began to see the Blue Jays grow. I saw his patience and steadfastness. And sure enough he took that team – orchestrated it from the very beginning – and won those two World Series in 1992 and '93."
As for Alomar, Howarth says he and Willie Mays are the two best players he's seen in his life.
"I grew up in San Francisco and I watched Willie Mays every day. We all wanted to be like Willie," Howarth said. "And then we acquired Roberto in 1991, and he was with the Blue Jays through 1995. He's the best player I've ever seen with Willie. By putting those two together I'm talking about all the aspects of the game – the proverbial five-tool player. But more than that, he had instincts, he could beat you in a game with a home run, a bunt, a stolen base, a fielding play, it didn't matter. A wonderful passion and desire to make himself ever better.
"And Roberto stood out with the Blue Jays. They would not have won those World Series without him, but having said that, Pat together great teams. But Roberto stood out. And there's no substitute for defense and Roberto provided the best defense that I've ever seen."
Having recently spent time with both Gillick and Alomar, can Howarth predict the emotional state of the pair as they stand before thousands on Sunday afternoon?
"Pat will be balling like a baby up there because I've seen him cry at John Olerud getting a base hit. I can't wait to hear his speech. I'm sure there will be a lot of Kleenex up there," Howarth said with a laugh. "And Roberto, too. Roberto is from a baseball family and I think he appreciates his career and what he's done.
"And remember, too, both of them, especially Roberto, they're doing this for a country, Canada, and they feel that. They know the presence that they have in an entire nation. So that makes it very extraordinary for them."
Bill Francis is a library associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Broadcast history
Curt Smith was 11 years old the first time he visited the Baseball Hall of Fame, and he's been back more than 75 times since.
"And the novelty hasn't faded," he said.
But for visitors in Cooperstown for Hall of Fame Weekend, Smith's Authors' Series program made it a visit to remember. Smith, a columnist, University of Rochester lecturer and former presidential speechwriter, has written a new book entitled A Talk in the Park: Nine Decades of Tales from the Broadcast Booth.
"This book features 116 announcers – the largest collection of any sports book ever – sharing stories from baseball history," said Smith. "Some are very poignant and touching and others – it is like the book Joe Garagiola wrote called Baseball is a Funny Game. It's true."
And Smith delighted Hall of Fame visitors on Friday by sharing stories from a number of chapters in the book.
Like Ken Harrelson, broadcaster for the Chicago White Sox and former major leaguer who defended his one handed catch by saying, " with hands as bad as mine, one hand is better than two."
Or Steve Blass, who was one of the only players in baseball history who was traded in Little League. He was moved from the Yankees to the Giants because the Yankees didn't have a uniform small enough to fit him. Each big league team and network is represented in the book – so every baseball fan can find something that touches their baseball experience. The voice of the Toronto Blue Jays, Jerry Howarth, in town for the induction of Roberto Alomar and Pat Gillick, attended the program and shared some laughs at stories of his broadcast colleagues.
Garagiola once said to Yogi Berra that he was amazed that Berra was such a world figure, he drew more applause than a president or prime minister. When he asked Berra how he explained it, Berra responded, "Easy, I'm a better hitter."
The book is available in the Museum Bookstore and a portion of the proceeds from the book benefit the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
One final story told by Smith was a quote from 2008 Ford C. Frick Award winner Dave Niehaus, broadcaster for the Seattle Mariners who passed away last year at the young age of 75. Niehaus described his impressions of Cooperstown.
"When you come here you know there is no place like it in the world. It's like going to Disney World, but you don't have to pay for rides."
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Though we all occasionally lose our cool here, I just don't get the point of insults and name calling. The moment a thread turns into personal attacks, it seems to me no one can win the argument. It's a lot easier to respond to insults than it is facts and conclusions based on those facts. While I'm as aware as anyone, the words "You're right; I'm wrong" have almost never appeared in this forum, there have a been a number of cases where one side or the other has stopped arguing a point or avoided a question, which in my view is a form of concession. Those victories can add up and soften positions. Though most of us won't admit it, it's obvious that on social issues, global warming, Bush, Iraq, and on other issues, most of our views have evolved, at least intellectually. For instance, though I still believe 100% that we have to address global warming, I'm more aware now that addressing it does not mean only addressing the human contribution. On our troops and Christianity, I'm far more sensitive to issues of prejudice directed at them. On the issue of the flat tax, which I still oppose, I now appreciate how part of that issue stems from a deep distrust of the IRS, and the issue is not just one of tax fairness. In an old thread, I referred to an article that said conservatives tend to be authoritarian, e.g., a strong father who knows what's "best," while liberals tend to be nurturing, i.e., put people in a position to discover the "truth." In political discussion, I don't see the benefit of authoritarianism. If you corner someone or beat them up, their own pride will get in the way of them listening to your point of view. However, if you present your points with honesty and respect, and don't try to make them concede, then they have the opportunity to listen, and some of your points may actually filter through. I may be as guilty as anyone else, but the fact is personal attacks feed on themselves. When I'm called a troop killer, a defender of child molesters, a Holocaust denier, anti-Christian, etc., I don't always respond in the best way. When I don't, I reduce any chance I have of convincing someone of my point of view. Isn't one point of politics to change the world? We can't do it by alienating and insulting each other.
Insults And Arguments: It's Human Nature. Thats Why We're Killing Each Other All Over The World If there were only two people left on the planet and they "met" the first thing they would do is have a fight. :rocker: "yup, thats right Harry"
Idon't think anybody wins arguments. why? I haven't really seen anybody change their opinions around here.
Sometimes the best of friends started out fighting each other. Theoretically, we're all one big family that fights with each other, can be dysfunctional at times but when the sh!t hits the fan and someone OUTSIDE the family attacks us, we forget all our differences and focus on kicking some arse. Take that doo doo head!
Name calling is the result of having nothing left to give to a debate. Having said that.... I find it interesting that all those who disagree with the Bush administration's views get called names and compared to others like 'nazi appeasers'. They say they are 'helpng the terroists'. People who change their views are called "Flip-Floppers". Its a bully tactic. and all of you Poo-Poo heads who disagree with me can kiss my booty.
:singing: :singing: :singing: Bush Is A Chimp Bush Is An A$s Hole Bush Is A Drunk Bush Is A Coward Bush Is A Jerk Bush Is A Druggie Bush Is A War Monger Bush Is An Idiot Bush Is A Moron Bush Is A F-cking Scumsucking Bastard :bricks:
Bahhhh! with all of the poo poo and Caca....you and I just fertilized the seed that you planted a few post earlier.
I call them all names everyone knows that, John Fonda Kerry and Al Boob Gore are two of America's biggest sh!t heads and Cute Perky Katie looks like ET. :singing:
Oh I know...you Harry my boy...have brought name calling to an all new level of the patsfans.com lexicon.
I think "Harry Boy" is actually W Bush trolling on this forum. He sure gets upset when we insult him....
You should hear my wife insult me, in public... Joe Biden said Obooma is the first "Bright Clean Black Man" to run for president, how will Jessie Jackoff & Al Dumpy Sharpton handle this one, Imagine what they would do to Trent Lott if he said this, what will the "black caucus" have to say, oh Jesus a democrat said this. Joe Stupid Biden entered the race yesterday and he's out today, now he can go skiing with John Fonda Kerry :singing: IS JOE STUPID BIDEN a closet racist PS Are Jessie & Al dirty

When John Salmen invited me to see the Takoma Park, Md., house where he and his wife, Ann Scher, "expect to spend the next 50 years," I wasn't sure what to expect. As both Salmen and his wife are already more than 50 years old, the house would eventually have to accommodate a person facing the frailties of advancing age.
Would this be the centerpiece of the design? After all, Salmen has spent his architecture career specializing in barrier-free design that accommodates people with disabilities.

Video: A Coffee Farmer's Journey from Refugee Camp to Prosperity
June 20, 2013
Meet Athanasie Musabyimana, a Rwandan coffee farmer who has overcome tremendous obstacles to create a healthy, prosperous life for her family.
Today, on World Refugee Day, we honor the courage and strength of millions of people forced to flee their homes — men, women and children currently displaced and those trying to rebuild their lives years later.
Meet Athanasie Musabyimana. When violence broke out in Rwanda in 1994, Athanasie, 20 years old and eight months pregnant, fled to Tanzania. In the refugee camp, she gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Nzamwitakuze: "I will give you a name if you survive."
After returning to Rwanda, Athanasie worked the family coffee farm but struggled to make ends meet. Through the Coffee Initiative, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, TechnoServe helped Athanasie improve the quality of her coffee and earn a higher income. Today, Athanasie feels confident and optimistic about her daughter's future. "I want her to be bright, and to progress and prosper." Nzamwitakuze recently graduated high school and plans to attend university next year.

Asian Giants Tiptoe Toward Free Trade Deal
By YOUKYUNG LEE
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) â¿¿ China, Japan and South Korea are inching ahead with talks for a free trade zone that would rival the European Union and North America in economic heft. Despite the achievement of setting aside their often acrimonious relations to begin negotiations, progress will be slow. An agreement to start talks took 10 years.
After three days of meetings in Seoul that finished Thursday, South Korea said officials agreed to hold two more rounds of negotiations this year, with the second meeting to be held in China either in June or July. Negotiations will cover goods, services and investment and might be extended to intellectual property rights and electronic commerce.
Striking an optimistic tone on the first day of talks, Japan's negotiator Koji Tsuruoka said the "integration of three economies which are very significant economies in this area as well as globally will provide very fruitful results to industries ... and to people."
Trade between the three Asian powers totaled $684 billion in 2011, an increase of more than five times from 1999, underlining Asia's growing weight in the world economy after more than two decades of breakneck growth in China and the earlier rise of Japan and South Korea as manufacturing powerhouses. Those booming commercial ties are one of the few bright spots for relations among the three. The legacy of Japan's colonial occupation of South Korea until 1945 and its World War II-era atrocities in China has provided fertile ground for animosity. Beijing and Tokyo's dispute over the sovereignty of East China Sea islands led last year to anti-Japanese riots in China and a damaging consumer boycott of Japanese autos and other goods. China and South Korea's relations have been strained over Beijing's continuing support for North Korea even as the North engages in threatening behavior and rhetoric.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

A tree as old as Honest Abe
Two hundred years later, this tree stands tall, just like Lincoln's legacy.
Yesterday marked Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. The nation celebrated with speeches and songs to commemorate the remarkable life of our 16th president. But in my neighborhood, the festivities extended to honor another historic figure.
In a section of New Jersey's woods stands a tall, majestic poplar tree perched on top of rocky cliffs above the Hudson River. Near the bottom of its trunk hangs a sign that reads, "This tree took root the year that Lincoln was born: 1809."
I pass the poplar tree often on hikes up a hilly trail, and crane my head toward its top – more than a hundred feet from the ground. Its trunk is way too wide for me to wrap my arms around.
In the winter, big, bare branches stand out starkly against a gray or azure sky, like boldly etched pen-and-ink designs. Sometimes, when it snows, the tree is swathed in white with a glassy glaze. Then, when spring arrives, broad, squarish leaves emerge, followed soon by tuliplike flowers in subtle shades of orange, yellow, and the lightest green.
But no matter the season, weather, or world events, the poplar has stood stalwart while 200 years of history happened.
These double centuries are, indeed, replete with history: economic and political upheavals, medical and scientific breakthroughs, wars and terrorist attacks, tremendous technological advances, and 28 subsequent presidents – peaceful intervals interspersed between tempest-torn times.
Nature also alternates between tranquility and raging storms.
The poplar tree has often been bombarded and attacked by ice and snow, and torrential winds and rain. Some summers it is scorched by unrelenting heat and drought.
On a stormy winter day, I went out into the woods and watched the poplar's branches gyrating with the wind.
"That is why most of them do not break," a fellow hiker explained to me. "Because of their flexibility, they bend along with the wind rather than resisting it."

A recent YouGov survey of American attitudes toward Muslims shows lots of disturbing statistics including only 47% who think Islam is more violent than other religions. Yet incredibly, 34% actually think Islam is about as violent as other religions.
Of course, the worst news is that among the "mom's basement" crowd, 9% say Islam is LESS violent than other religions while 42% say it is about the same as other religions!
At the other end of the age scale, those 65 and over see Islam as more violent than other religions by a 65/22 ratio.
The good news is that 59% hold an unfavorable opinion of Islam, but where are the heads of those 18% who see these savages in a favorable light?
The question of how to confront the vicious disease that is Islam is yet another important issue that must be dealt with by the "adults" among us. As usual, Democrats both in and out of government are siding with our enemies. Their kiddie voters, who know nothing because of the poor quality of education they are receiving in government schools, think anything they don't see on The Daily Show or TNZ is meaningless.
They think that being liberal will impress the seventh century savages who want to kill them. Unfortunately for future generations, they are both the group that is the least aware of the dangers of Sharia Law and the group that will inherit our nation in just another twenty years.
When joined with the ever present Democrat under class which will grow exponentially as future Democrats continue to walk over our now non-existent southern border, the Democrat kiddie voters will preside over the end of America. They will get the Sharia Law slavery they deserve, but along with that we and our children and grandchildren will suffer as well.
We cannot give up the fight. We must confront Islam and its useful idiot, kiddie supporters whenever an opportunity presents itself. We may yet be swallowed up by Sharia but let's not go down whimpering and hiding in our basements.

BEST HOME AOLNE EVER and a very special movie for the heart.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This sequel actually turns out better than the first and soooooo much better than the third. Kevin again finds himself stranded without his family, but this time he is in New York. With beautiful christmas music, and spectacular visions of holiday surroundings, this movie earns to be my favorite christmas movie of all time. This movie provides extra and a ton more laughs than the first one with awesome performances by TIM CURRY, ROB SHNIEDER, AND DANA IVY. They lighten the movie up to me. But also this movie is special for the heart and soul, when Kevin finds a poor woman to befriend, and love on the streets. This movie goes to prove that: Maybe there is people out there that will give the time, care, and effort to make a difference in some one's life.

Not As Good As The First, But Not Dull By Any Means,
By Anthony Nasti "Tony" (Staten Island, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (DVD)
Sequels are almost never as good as the first one. The only one that is better than the first one is "Mission Impossible 2". There are some like "American Pie", "American Wedding", "The Godfather Part II" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", that are as great as the first ones, but then there are others like "The Godfather Part III", "Wayne's World 2" and "Vegas Vacation" that kill an entire series. "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York" straddles the field. It's nowhere near as good as the first one, but it's really a very good movie nonetheless.
In it, Macaulay Culkin returns as Kevin. After two years of being treated kindly by his parents as an apology for leaving him home alone, he has become the alleged source of problems once again. The film is different in that Kevin actually isn't "home alone" so to speak. He makes it to the airport for the family's Florida vacation. However, it's the wrong plane he boards. Kevin winds up in New York. Nervous at first, he realizes he brought his dad's luggage with him, and buys his way through Manhattan with his credit card, including an ill fated stay at the plaza hotel. (I find it interesting since I too had an unpleasant stay at the plaza last year, when they lost my only luggage, which was filled with thousands of dollars worth of cds). However, Marv (Daniel Stern) and Harry (Joe Pesci) are back on the streets, also in New York, and soon run into Kevin. You can basically tell what happens in here. Overall, this film is very good. However, there is one reason this film doesn't get five stars or even four point five. That is because it does not have the warm holiday feeling the first one had. In fact, this film is darker than the first one. One good example is the confrontation at the abandoned house with Marv and Harry. It is much more violent than the first one. Marv is nearly killed when he gets electrocuted. How's that for a family film? Plus, there is one rather disturbing sequence where Kevin is nerrvous because he's alone in the dead of night and meets to really seedy and weird hookers. Then he gets into a cab with a really spooky driver. This may actually frighten the younger fans of the first film. Another sticking point is that I never got into Brenda Fricker's pigeon character (this film's version of the much more enjoyable shovel character from the first film). However, there are some strong qualities. Catherine O'Hara turns in another strong performance as Kevin's put - upon mother, while the small roles by Donald O'Connor, Tim Curry, Rob Schneider (still a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" at this point) and Donald Trump liven things up. This is nowhere near as good as part one, but definitely worth it.

Blu-Ray Version is the best for HOME ALONe2,
By Amazon Customer (USA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I've seen many reviews about this Blu-ray disc, and they say it's a big disappointment when compared to the first Home Alone Blu-ray. Well, I'll be the judge of that (of course, it's my review). Does this Blu-ray look as good as Home Alone? Nope, but it still looks very good on an HDTV. If you stand 1-2 feet from the screen, you will see a lot of grain though, but if you stay at a normal seating distance, it looks great. I compared it to the previous DVD version I have, and there is no comparison. There are simple things you can see now that you could not before like: the note given to Kevin, clear Christmas lights, and the text when Kevin uses his Dad's Visa Card. The old DVD version could not be played properly on widescreen TVs since it wasn't enhanced while the Blu-ray version is 1080p which makes a HUGE difference. The DVD version suffered with Dolby Surround 2.0 while we get DTS-HD sound on the Blu-Ray. There are no extras, but it's a good thing since this was a single layer-disc which allowed for a higher data rate on the picture quality. So, if you're wanting to get the best version of Home Alone 2 or upgrade to a better version, than this Blu-Ray version is it.

And He's Back; They're Back...Again!,
By Samhot (Star Land) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (DVD)
Last time around, Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) was left home alone (pun intended) by his family in a frantic hurry to get to the airport. And to add insult to injury, he had to deal with a couple of bumbling sillies--burglars who wanted to burglarize his house--who went by the name of the "Wet Bandits." This time around, it's more of the same, but with a slight difference: this time, he gets on the wrong plane, and is left to his own devices in the "Big Apple"--a/k/a New York City.
The plot is pretty similar to the last one in many ways: Kevin gets into trouble due to getting into it with his older brother, and is punished. He gets fed up with his family treating him unfairly, and in the midst of his angst, wishes that he could have a vacation on his own, without any of his family. The next morning, in a frantic hurry, the family rushes to the airport to go to Florida for Christmas vacation. In the airport, Kevin stops to put some batteries into his small camcorder (which will be largely significant later in the film), and as soon as he lifts his head, his family are long gone. He spots an older guy from the backside who looks like his dad, and therefore gets on the same plane as this gentleman, believing that it really was his dad. Needless to say, he was in for a big surprise when the plane landed. Meanwhile, the "Wet Bandits" (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) escape from jail, and are in the "Big Apple" as well. You know what happens: they cross paths, and these two clowns are looking for revenge. The slapstick craziness that was seen in the last film, is taken up an extra notch, and is made gut-bustingly funnier as a result. (And again, just listening to Daniel Stern's demented operatic-like screeching as he gets his, alone, just slams the wind straight out of me. It's too hilarious!) As for poignant moments, last time around, the "scary" character was an old man who was rumored to be a murderer. This time, it's a homeless woman who dwells in Central Park, and her companions are a bunch of pigeons. These Home Alone films are recommended for anyone with a taste for over-the-top, outrageous slapstick humor, added with a large dose of mischief. Also recommended if you want to bring out the kid in you.

You guys give up? Have you had enough pain? "Nevahhhhhh!",
By Andy Bonner (Scotland,United Kingdom,Britain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (DVD)
What kind of idiots do you have working here?
"The finest in New York." - This is just an idea of the great writing & acting in Home Alone 2:Lost In New York. This is the second of 4 movies by Chris Columbus. Lil' Kevin McCallister gets caught up in more trouble again in this sequel to Home Alone. Home Alone 2:Lost in New York starts with the Christmas Pageant where young Kevin manages to get himself in a bit of bother with Buzz who manages to make Kevin look like a laughing stock in front of many parents. Buzz then makes a very phony,but convincing apology to the family who accept it (as idiots).As he brings this apology to an end,he calls Kevin a "troutsniffer". The acting in this film is pure brilliance,especially the parts of the two "Wet Bandits" played by Joe Pesci & Daniel Stern.This film is such a hilarious film especially with great actors such as Joe Pesci,Daniel Stern,Catherine O'Hara,Tim Curry,Rob Schneider & not forgetting the fine young actor Macaulay Culkin. If you like Home Alone 2:Lost in New York then you are bound to love Home Alone.Although Home Alone 3 & 4 are not worth seeing as they are not the originals with Macaulay Culkin & the original Bandits

The cuteness ends here,
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (DVD)
This should have been the end of the Home Alone series, seeing that the same premise and cast were used for two films but, naturally, Hollywood just can't resist trying to squeeze more money from a proven formula.
I'm not one for sequels but this was one of the handful that I can enjoy time and again, not only because the original cast is in it, but because of Macaulay Culkin's comedic ability (even as a kid) and Joe Pesci's and Daniel Stern's reactions to getting their butts kicked, booby trap style. Kevin is not forgotten (like he was last time) but hops the wrong plane after he puts fresh batteries in the family camera right before he gets to the gate at the airport (his family had all the bad luck with high winds knocking out the electric - and the alarm clock - twice). He mistakes a man with the same coat as his father and after Kevin reassures a flight attendant he's on the right plane, takes his seat ... in a plane heading in the exact opposite direction the rest of his family is going (naturally, no one realizes Kevin's missing until they're in Miami and he's in NY). Who could have thought a vacant New York brownstone could be so much fun? Sure, Pesci's and Stern's characters are more banged up this time but, hey, they started it. (The adventures in the Plaza Hotel are hilarious, as well.) Anyway, this is one sequel worth the time to watch. Just don't bother with the irrelevant, contrived, and unncessary third installment of the series.

Better then the first movie,
By Ronnie Clay "R.C." (Winnsboro, Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (DVD)
Macaulay Culkin is seperated from his family again but this time he's in the big apple New York. How it happen. The family wera plainning a christmas facation to Miami, Florida everybody else went on the right plane at the air port except for Macaulay character (Kevin) cause he was putting new batteries in his tape recorder after that he was flowing a man who had the same jacket as his dad that man was going catching the plane to New York and that's how Kevin got confused and got on the wrong plane. Luckly for him he had his dads bag filled with money and credit cards which can help him live and check into a hotel in NYC. Kevin is also smart enough to have his own plane ticket to Florida just in cast a mistake happen's again which it did. The same two bad guys from the first movie use to be called the "wet Bandets" now the "sticky bandets" nave escape from jail into NYC.

Excellent Movie!,
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
It's about time this wonderful movie got released properly. I can finally watch it on my widescreen LCD TV. The older DVD release was non-amamorphic and looks awful on widescreen TVs. Too bad Fox never re-released. But it's good to finally see this on Blu-ray...enhanced for widescreen TVs and with excellent picture and sound. The remastered DTS 5.1 sound is excellent. The Blu-ray version looks A LOT better than the DVD. This is one Blu-ray release that was worth the double dip. And just in time for the holidays too.

These tapes were of the highest quality and very easily viewed. I have enjoyed these two movies everytime that I have seen them, and I am glad that I purchased them from Amazon.com. A friend suggested that I go online and become a member of Amazon.com and I am glad that I did, since I have purchased other items from your company and have been pleased with everything that I purchased.

Greatest Movie of 20th Century Fox,
This review is from: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (DVD)
This Home Alone is such a great big hit and more of these actions are funny. Perhaps parents should see this movie before they let their kids watch, some of the action like Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) throwing bricks at Marv (Daniel Stern) does not seem to be the best scene for young children. But on top of that, this is funny and interesting.

I don't get the part about not being able to fire the sheriff. Every job application has a line similar to "If you have misrepresented or omitted any facts on this application, and are subsequently hired, you may be discharged from your job." Apparently, Mr Storms misrepresented himself; fire him. »

OSI Systems Begins Shipment Of ARKONTM, High Performance Anesthesia Delivery System
OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS) today announced that its Healthcare division, Spacelabs Healthcare, has delivered the first orders for its recently introduced high performance anesthesia delivery system, ARKON TM.
"ARKON is the culmination of our strong vision of what anesthesia delivery systems should be, supported by years of research and interviews with clinicians from across the globe," commented Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems CEO. "It represents a major step forward for the organization and I am proud to announce that we have delivered our first orders of ARKON in the US. These revolutionary systems will soon be seen in significant hospital groups around the world."
ARKON puts the patient front and center – by offering clinicians optimal functionality, comfort and control – through a combination of innovative technology and ergonomics not previously available in the perioperative environment. ARKON uses advanced concepts in industrial design to improve operating room workflow and adds novel features such as an expanding work surface to enable the clinician to get closer to the patient along with signature lighting to highlight controls that are in an active state.

I work for an IT company (http://www.xavo.com) developing laboratory logistics solutions. Previously, I had been developing MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. Currently, I spend most of my time with Microsoft .NET technologies like C#, WinForms and WCF and of course with databases (Oracle, MS SQL Server). Before that, I had worked for several years with Java, Java EE and Eclipse RCP. I'm very interested in logical and functional programming as well and try to practice that from time to time.

We have many apps recommended, but have explanations how to disable them if desired. I can add --disable-cups to such explanations.
