Well, hurray for that. Given that you didn't reply to my post, I'm assuming you're waiting on me to expand upon the arguments I didn't address due to confusion over your intent?
In that case...
You mean to say that, regardless of whether an individual follows or believes in a certain religious faith,
the fact that he or she has been exposed to the morals and values of said faith makes it an inevitability that he or she's personal morals are influenced by it.
Since you said I hit on your points well, then I'm going to address this:
Arguing the point that one is influenced regardless of personal beliefs, to put it shortly, transforms your argument from regarding one's individual concept of morality to an argument addressing the idea of nature versus nurture. Miburo touched on this in his earlier post:
Doesn't matter. As human beings, we're capable of reason. We can separate one from the other. And there are tons of moral theories that do just that. Like virtue ethics of aristotle, for example. You can base your morality around logic. You don't need to rely on religion at all to do so.
Regardless of whether someone is raised in a religious environment, the capability of reason and logic is part of what makes us humans
intelligent beings
rather than mere animals who act on instinct. I could argue the point that as humans, we are not inherently primal by nature, but then you could also argue the case of
Victor of Aveyron
This is not a jab at your intelligence or lackthereof, but simply a clarification: If you don't know who Victor is, he was a feral child who had lived the majority of the first twelve years of his life in the wild, away from civilized society, only later to emerge from said wild
civilization. He was studied by a French biology professor, who observed him as being "close to the wild state of an animal". However, you can't really explore this case because Victor was virtually incapable of being educated, even so far as language - not because he was too primal to learn, but because he was deaf-mute, and unable to be taught.
Focusing on his feral-ness, now; given this example, you could say that though humans
capable of reasoning and logic, that regardless of said capabilities, it is the
of said qualities that allows us humans to be "intelligent beings" who live by the rules of logic. But that's another debate entirely, and I'm drifting too far from the point.
The point is, the fact of one's morals being influenced by religion is the same as saying that the factor of human intelligence itself is based upon one's nurturing environment... For example, someone who is completely deaf may not be capable of
actual spoken language
(though they may use sounds to convey meanings at times, I have experienced) not because they are incapable of learning it, but because they have never been subjected to spoken language, and therefore have no means to learn it.
In short: Yes, because we live in civilized society where everything from laws to traditions to popular media are influenced by religion, whether or not we believe in said religion is void - we are surrounded by it from birth, it is in our schools, our governments, even the values of our respective societies as a whole, despite whether or not said values, governments, schools, or what so have you, are directly related to religious beliefs.
Although this is certainly true, one's personal beliefs need not have anything at all to do with religion. Even if one could argue that said beliefs have
from religious backgrounds, that does not mean that one's moral system is irrevocably based on religion itself. This is where rationality comes in.
The fact of the matter is,
just because we, as a people, are influenced by religion by nurture
does not mean we are incapable of reasoning and morality in the absence of it.
Lets assume for this situation by moral i am talking about positive morality by todays standards. As i said before morality and religion have become so intertwined that if a man was to lead a moral life by todays standards and didnt believe in or profess a god dos not mean that he is living a moral life absent of religion. He is simply living a moral life in which the belief and/or fear God is not the reason for his morality, however the man is still influnced by religion wether it be based of the law or some thing else which is ultimatley linked to religion.
See above.
"There was a billboard in NYC subway station from an atheist group:
"A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God. Are You?" -This illustratres that Athiest can not believe in God and still be "good" yet it also illustrates that so many assoscitate That the sense of Good is tied to religion. And not just religon now. All religion from Zoroastrianism to Shinto.
Generally speaking, this is a valid point.
public opinion does not equal fact
. Just because the majority of people believe something is true, doesn't necessarily mean it is.
Everyone used to believe the world was flat, until someone proved them wrong. They also used to believe that the Sun rotated around the Earth. But we now know it doesn't. Just because a "fact" is generally accepted as a truth
doesn't mean it is definite.
Going by your logic you are saying that because you are ignorant to the existence of something that means your are in no way influenced by it. I wont take the time to debunk this because the flaw in this statement is to great to be counted as a valid argument.
This statement makes no sense. How can you be influenced by something when you
aren't even aware of its existence

The viewpoint as in the Western thing? Yeah, I agree, but not including that would leave it open for a counter-argument on the fact that those religions are really only more "recognized" in Western society. More specifically, in the United States. It's better to acknowledge a weakness in an argument based on one's personal experiences with their environment - i.e.: I only know the "big" religions as they are considered in the US rather than say, Russia, because I don't live in Russia, and thus don't know the situation there - than to just leave it wide open like that.
Maybe it's just the way I've learned how to debate over the years, but it's better to address all facets of an argument than to leave anything unexplored.
Protip: Agnosticism and Atheism are not even remotely the same thing.

This is an atmospheric tale of a rehearsal of the opera Don Juan paralleled by real-life dramas that mirror the opera. The director in charge is Francois (Francois Beukelaers), who has become infatuated with Stephane (Stephane Escoffier) and is rapidly alienating his wife Sandra (Alexandra Vandernoot) with his extramarital wandering.

ACLU and the Gitmo Leak of CIA Agent Photos
In a May 22, 2010 letter to President Obama, Congressman Todd Akin (R.-2nd Dist, Missouri) called for a "full and thorough investigation" into how the identities of two CIA covert operatives were leaked to the ACLU.
Forty-seven other members of Congress co-signed Congressman Akin's letter.
After one year of the DOJ seemingly taking no action, and then two years of investigating, on January 23, 2012, former CIA employee John Kiriakou was charged with leaking the identities of two CIA officers to three journalists, who then gave the information to an investigator working in the ACLU's John Adams Project.
Photographs of the CIA officers were obtained and inserted into a group of non-CIA personnel photos, and then given to detainees. The detainees were to pick out the faces of their interrogators whom they recognized.
So does Kiriakou's arrest end the investigation? Not for Congressman Akin. He believes there are more concerns attached to this case.
When, on January 24,...(Read Full Article)

Dogwood hosts designer tea
Published 4:32pm Sunday, May 20, 2012Residents gathered for tea and design at Southwestern Michigan College for the 21st annual Dogwood Fine Arts Festival Saturday.
The annual tea, in its 18th year with the festival, featured Imperial Furniture of Dowagiac, which designed the tea, along with interior designer Tammy Keller. The event also served as a celebration for Imperial Furniture's 50th anniversary. Each table featured a different fabric with a matching paint can serving as a vase for flowers.
"We've tried to make it really fun," Carol Springsteen, co-owner of Imperial Furniture told her audience. "Hopefully, we have given you some ideas to go home with and tear your house apart or redecorate."
Keller, who works often with Imperial Furniture, gave tips and guidelines for decorating a space. During the two-hour tea, Springsteen's daughter, Audrey, and her husband, Adam, designed a showcase living room into traditional themes and a more modern feel. Keller instructed guests to find focal points for the room, balance everything and choose a color that fits the theme or mood.
"It's fun to see our local families having such a great time together," said June Blackwell, of Indian Lake, who attended the tea.
Sue Kent and George Calvert, both of Cassopolis, were first-time attenders, getting a feel for what other events Dogwood produced.
"I really enjoyed the contemporary room design," Calvert said.
Kent was already looking forward to next year's tea.
"I love it, and I'm definitely coming back next year," Kent said. "I'm leaving here with new ideas for my own home."
Springsteen, who was presented with a plaque for contributing to the festival for 15 years, said she was pleased with the presentation's success.
"We'd built this wall and used an old fireplace front from my house, then Tammy came through with ideas for decorating," Springsteen said. "Once you start in on it, it just evolves."

They wanted me to wait until Saturday ( which would have meant 3 days without treatment ). With some persistence, I got the DME to make a home visit today, they picked up my S8 and gave me a S8 II loaner. They said they would attempt to repair my PAP.

Coolum Beach - the laid back capital of QLD
"life's a beach"
no matter what else you do when you visit the sunshine coast, the beach has gotta be near the top of your list. it's central to the lives of the locals - they all surf or body board or walk dogs along the sand. i love heading down with a book to finish off a hard days work by soaking up the last of the sun.
another of my favourite activities is going down to the esplanade early, picking a spot to have breakfast, and then watching all the surfers come up from the water with the sun rising behind them. yum!
the surf club here is pretty central as well, with good food. come here for a night of casual drinks and dinner with friends, and watch the storms roll in! this is the starting point for a lot of the locals nights out.
life in coolum is life in the slow lane. don't expect your coffee to arrive straight away or for the bus to be on time. do expect your aussie mate to want to 'just have a look' at the surf even if they're not gonna paddle out. on time here doesn't mean the same as in the cities and all sentences end with 'ay'.

Let me add May 1942 at 13.18 %. I did look at your link and it is only annual summaries. So you go to "recently" rather than "since 1940". And maybe episode is an interesting word.
So. Do you say the inflation rate in the US has not exceeded 13.1% on a common era calendar month basis since 1940 CE?

http://tvshowsondvd.com/n/17913 Diagnosis Murder - How Would You Like 'The Complete Series' with Dr. Mark Sloane in 2013? We've found out that VEI of Toronto is working on such a package for the new year! Posted by David Lambert 12/31/2012 Visual Entertainment Inc. (VEI) of Canada has been behind some of the most-wanted TV shows put on DVD in recent years, with releases of Cagney & Lacey, In Search Of..., McMillan & Wife, Hell's Kitchen, The Invisible Man, Kate & Allie, Hardcastle and McCormick, Riptide, Gimme a Break! and more. We've learned that in 2013 the studio is continuing with their plans for classic TV-DVD titles, and that one of their hoped-for offerings will be none other than Diagnosis Murder - The Complete Series! In 2006-2007, CBS/Paramount put out the first, second and third seasons of the 1968 series (starring Dick Van Dyke, Barry Van Dyke, Victoria Rowell, Scott Baio and Michael Tucci), but they never finished. And this past June VEI themselves put out the Television Movie Collection, with the show's 3 pilot telefilms and 2 post-series reunion telefilms. But now VEI plans to bring all 8 seasons of the classic show out in one big package (presumably along with the telefilms, but no word on if they'll be there for sure...OR the episode of Jake and the Fatman where Dr. Sloan first appeared). This is a New Years' Eve heads-up exclusively for our readers; details, cost, date and packaging are all still to be decided upon...and that's assuming that no snags are hit, of course! As far as we know, VEI is still going through the masters, seeing what all the needed legal clearances will be, etc.; nothing is for-certain just yet. Stay tuned and we will fill you in as further developments occur. Taken from: http://tvshowsondvd....3#ixzz2GfFU9pwC

This is great news: I definitely will be pre-ordering the Mod Squad set. I hope they don't run into any hurdles. And hopefully, more CBS properties will be coming from VEI like the Henning shows.

I'm definitely looking forward to VEI's release of Diagnosis Murder. They've done a great job with other releases (McMillan and Wife, the Diagnosis Murder movies) that I've bought, so I'm anticipating they'll do just as well with this set. It also bodes well that CBS is willing to license some of their stalled properties to VEI. It would be nice if that connection continues and some other series that CBS has hung out to dry could be released by VEI.

The Dollar/Euro Exchange Rate
While the practical policies toward the exchange rate of the Fed and the ECB are very similar, there is a major philosophical difference between the American view that governments have no business to worry about capital flows and exchange rates versus the European view that these things matter and that floating is simply not defending a particular rate. Under the first view, the only issue is what determines the exchange rate. The literature has concluded that not much can be said about this in the short run, but that in the long run misaligned rates tend to return toward equilibrium ("PPP"). Under the second view, it makes sense to ask what is the "fundamental equilibrium exchange rate" (or some FEER-like concept). Most of the evidence suggests that the dollar/euro rate at the time of writing the article ($1.27) represented at most a modest overshooting.Download Info

Phillip Fulmer wants to take a moment, only because the question is out there, to divulge his future plans at Tennessee.
He wants to stay for another eight years, maybe a decade. Maybe even longer.
So there you go, Best of Preps football stars at the Chattanooga Convention Center on Tuesday. The coach at Tennessee still wants to pace the sideline when you start having children.
"I've said eight to 10 more years. I'd like to do that," Fulmer said after his speech at the Best of Preps banquet. He was also asked earlier in the week by old friend Bryan Mullen of The Tennessean. "It could be longer. But I don't plan on being Joe Paterno or Bobby Bowden, no."
I like the visual of an elderly Fulmer riding around practice in a golf cart and yelling "Fight like heck!" while waving a cane in the air, but that's just me. I don't think he wants that life.
But contemplate the ramifications of Fulmer's desire to coach another decade.
First, he puts the prospects at ease and squashes the negative recruiting. Fulmer will turn 58 during the 2008 season — not super-old but nearing a normal retirement age — so he needs to make some sort of statement.
Fulmer actually looks healthier than he did five years ago, so the thought of him coaching the 2017 season — including a game against a Nebraska team coached by Bobby Petrino, by then on his eighth job — doesn't strike me as implausible.
Next, a raise and an extension are forthcoming for Fulmer, and his expressed desire to continue coaching for another decade signals a long-term deal is likely on the way.
And, finally, Fulmer would assure himself of becoming the winningest coach in the history of Tennessee football. Gen. Robert Neyland won 173 games in 21 seasons. Fulmer, 16 years into his tenure, has 147 wins. He's on pace to break the record in three years.
But what if he loses pace? Remember, an outcry for Fulmer's firing reached such a peak that former players purchased an ad in the Knoxville newspaper to support the embattled coach. That was like eight months ago. And some criticized athletic director Mike Hamilton for not exactly being the most supportive guy during those troubling times.
Fulmer seems to acknowledge the volatility of his job and wouldn't comment much on potentially passing Gen. Neyland.
"Once you start focusing on those kinds of things, you're going to get off track," he said. "We're going to focus on our team and this year. In 2005, I think we assumed way too dang much.
"I'm thrilled with what we're doing and enjoying it every day and who we're doing it with. We've got a really good, young team. I like my staff a lot. I'm here for the long haul."
But, surely, he's got to think of his place in Tennessee history, right?
"I would have to think so. Wouldn't you?" UT assistant Steve Caldwell said. "But you don't want to talk about those things."
During his speech Tuesday, Fulmer recounted a reminder of why he can't assume 27 more wins and his spot atop all the coaching greats at Tennessee.
One morning after a loss, Fulmer picked up his coffee and newspaper at one of those full-service Maryville gas stations as a stranger pumped his gas. The man noticed Fulmer's national championship ring.
"You follow the Vols?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, I follow them pretty closely, as a matter of fact," Fulmer replied.
They briefly discussed the loss, the turnovers, the kicking game.
"I'll tell you what I think," the man said. "Until they get rid of that Fulmer guy, they're never going to have a good football team."
That might be awhile, kind sir. And given Fulmer's accomplishments at Tennessee, a longer stay should be good for the program.

Retailers Push Windows XP SP2
"Microsoft began shipping retail boxes to retailers last week, so they will start showing up on store shelves worldwide throughout the month," said a spokesman with Microsofts Windows client division.
Among the U.S. retailers offering the Home and/or Professional versions of the product , according to Microsoft, are Amazon.com, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Frys, J&R Computer World, Micro Center, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Target and Wal-Mart.
Some of Microsofts PC partners are just now starting to preload new machines with Windows XP SP2, as opposed to plain-vanilla XPan expected move that is meeting with mixed reactions from resellers.
Microsoft officials said they had no information to share regarding when leading PC makers will begin bundling the product.
As of Sept. 30, about 40 million copies of Windows XP SP2 had been downloaded by users, according to Microsoft. The vast majority of these copies have been pushed to users via Microsofts Windows Update/Automatic Update patching systems. Microsoft also has made available to users with slower networking connections
Some customers, especially corporate ones, have postponed their SP2 downloads and deployments, citing the need for more application testing before installing the upgrade, which consists of primarily security-related features and fixes.
Microsoft officials have said they hoped to have distributed 100 million copies of SP2 by the end of October. Microsoft has sold about 300 million Windows XP since the product debuted in 2001.
CompUSA is advertising that it will "install Windows XP Service Pack 2 for free" for existing SP2 users. "Well make your PC safe and secure and save you hours of download time," according to an ad on the CompUSA Web site.

TREASURIES-US 10-year yield dips but still near 1-month high
- Tweet
- Share this
SINGAPORE Oct 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield eased on Friday but remained near a one-month high, having climbed this week on upbeat U.S. housing data and as a drop in Spanish bond yields allayed worries over the euro zone's debt crisis.
* The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 1.820 percent in Asia, down slightly from the previous day's one-month high of 1.836 percent. Compared to late U.S. trade on Thursday, 10-year notes were up 3/32 in price and the 10-year yield was down 1 basis point.
* While demand for Treasuries in Asia on Friday was tepid, investors may start snatching up bonds if they get the sense that further rises in bond yields will be limited in the near term, said a trader for a U.S. brokerage house in Tokyo.
If that turns out to be the case, some traders may unwind bearish bets on Treasuries and give the market a lift, he said.
"So I don't want to sell too aggressively, to take too big of a short position," the trader added.
* Safe haven Treasuries have come under pressure this week as Spanish bond yields fell after Moody's Investors Service affirmed Spain's investment grade rating, with strong U.S. housing starts data on Wednesday having added to the sell-off.
* The economic backdrop suggests that bond yields may stay under upward pressure going into the year-end, said Tomoaki Shishido, rate analyst for Nomura Securities in Tokyo.
"It looks like economic data, at least in the United States, could be strong going into the year-end, and some Chinese indicators have also started to come in on the strong side," he said.
Still, the Federal Reserve's stance that it is unlikely to raise interest rates at least until mid-2015, and expectations for the Fed to continue with its bond purchases well into next year, may help limit rises in Treasury yields, he added.
"Buying will probably tend to emerge when the 10-year yield nears 2 percent," Shishido said, adding that this week's rise in yields has already helped to attract investor demand.
"We saw pretty significant over-the-counter buying by Japanese players yesterday," he said.
A Reuters poll earlier this month showed that economists expect the Fed to buy a total of $600 billion of bonds under its newest stimulus program, known as QE3, and to buy Treasuries outright after its "Operation Twist" stimulus ends in December.

How To Pull Back Foreskin
In the modern American culture of circumcision, a surprising number of men with natural genitals don't know how to pull back foreskin. This is a problem, as cleaning under the foreskin is necessary for good penile hygiene. Without proper cleaning, an excess of the whitish substance known as smegma runs the chance accumulating. Try getting a chick to even give you the time of day with that going on! Here's what you'll need to pull back your foreskin:
- Prescription steroid cream
- Hands and a tender touch
- Begin gently. If you've never pulled back your foreskin, chances are it's not going to go all the way back the first time you attempt it. If it hurts to pull your foreskin back to a certain point, stop! Forcing it beyond this point is a good way to cause splitting and scarring.
- Start stretching. Like your muscles, the foreskin needs a good stretching to become flexible. Start by gently (see step one!) pulling on your foreskin with a finger or two so that it becomes flexible around the head of your penis. Get into the habit of doing this every day.
- Apply a topical steroid. Your doctor can prescribe you a steroid cream that will greatly assist in pulling back your foreskin. Usually these are a once-daily application, but see your doctor for exact directions. Rub the cream on your foreskin and gently stretch it.
If you're having trouble pulling back your foreskin, chances are it's going to take a few months of daily stretching to get it to fold back over the head of your penis. Once you're able to completely pull it back without pain, be sure to clean under it on a daily basis. With a little upkeep, your foreskin will no longer be an issue and will actually contribute to your overall sexual satisfaction.

Public Radio International's Ira Glass, host of the quirky long-format features show This American Life, has been working with dance troupe Monica Bill Barnes & Company to invent a show that combines two art forms (that — as Glass puts it — "have no business being together: dance and radio"). One is all words and no visuals; one is all visuals and no words. If you've never listened to Glass's show (which airs on National Public Radio locally on Fridays and Sundays), it's brilliant. It should be a treat to see how dancers accentuate his weird yet poignant humor.

Petra is famously described as "a rose-red city half as old as time". A spectacular and unique sight, its massive buildings are carved directly into the sandstone cliffs. Enclosed by towering rocks and watered by a perennial stream, Petra controlled the ancient commercial routes across the desert to the Persian Gulf. The impressive eastern entrance leads steeply down through a dark and narrow gorge called the Siq (the shaft), a natural geological feature formed from a deep split in the sandstone rocks. It opens directly onto Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh ("the Treasury") hewn directly out of the sandstone cliff. A little farther from the Treasury is a massive theatre, so placed as to bring the greatest number of tombs within view; and at the point where the valley opens out into the plain the site of the city is revealed with striking effect. Almost enclosing it on three sides are rose-coloured mountain walls, divided into groups by deep fissures, and lined with tombs cut from the rock in the form of towers.

PARIS — The Louvre Museum is used to dealing with antiquities: Nearly all of its thousands of works of art date to 1848 or earlier. Now, it wants to create a relic of its own — the old museum audio guide.
The famed Paris museum, whose origins date to the 18th century, is pressing on toward modernity and going visual with new electronic guides in a deal with Japan's Nintendo. The guide provides 3DS game consoles that offer touch-screen, visual-and-audio guidance for visitors who teem the museum's labyrinthine halls by the millions each year.
Billed as an unprecedented innovation at a museum, the game consoles launched this week offer 700 recordings on famed works like the Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Mona Lisa — only a tiny sliver of the 35,000-odd works displayed in the museum.
The electronic guides, both navigational and informative, offer virtual glimpses of the artistic touches that are tough for the naked eye to see, like tiny details on towering tableaux on the museum's wood-paneled walls. They'll use much of the same information in the Louvre's now-shelved audio guides.
Pairing France's highest-of-high-brow museums with a Japanese technology company behind games like Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers and Zelda might not seem like a natural fit. And some may view the electronic guide as a shop window for Nintendo. But Louvre officials say the museum must change with the times, and try to access as wide a public possible.
Over the years, the Louvre has drawn controversy with some of its innovations, including the glass-pyramid entrance by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei or its sharing parts of its massive collection with wealthy countries like the United Arab Emirates — which is to open a Louvre affiliate in 2015.
Above all, the console is meant to reach out to the Louvre's customer base: the museum welcomed 8.9 million visitors last year — more than half of them under age 30, and about two-thirds foreign.
The guides, for now available in seven languages, cost €5 ($6.50) on top of the museum's €10 ($13) standard admission price. And coming soon: French sign language.
Press a button, and the viewer virtually floats over, say, statues by Michelangelo, or zooms up close on the tiny cracks in the face of the Mona Lisa — all but impossible to see from behind a crowded rope line.
The console comes in handy peering high up at Veronese's 60-square-meter (645-square-foot) painting "The Wedding at Cana," across from the Mona Lisa. Details of the giant tableau easily seen on screen can be checked against the real thing.
The biggest benefit may be helping art lovers get around: Visitors see their location, which blinks inside a diagram of exhibit rooms on one of the console's two screens. A menu allows for a specific search for one of 50 of the museum's most popular works and can plot a path to get there. Another feature is a "masterpieces" walk.
Because of the Louvre's thick walls, and because some of its exhibit spaces are underground, 3G mobile phone networks don't reach everywhere inside. The positioning system relies on beacons posted around the museum.
Nintendo's director-general for France, Stephan Bole, insisted the console isn't aimed as a substitute for a live, in-person visit: Virtual isn't the same thing as seeing the works themselves.
"The 3DS is to assist a visit that remains live — you have to see the paintings to appreciate them," he said by phone. "We want to complement the real live visit."
Many visitors were spotted wandering around with the new 3DS guides Thursday afternoon. But some, asked about how they liked them, complained of a steep learning curve.

The JOBS Act - Could It Create a Two-Tiered System of Investors? | |
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, passed into law in April of this year, has the potential to help startups and small businesses raise capital through numerous, small investments from "the crowd." This widely discussed crowdfunding exemption is found in Title III of the Act. But the Act also created the possibility that the biggest benefit from the legislation will go not to the crowd, but rather to traditional investors that have long had access to the best startup and small business investment opportunities. If a startup or business is able to utilize a Rule 506 general solicitation, it will be able to raise more money, from fewer people, and with less litigation and regulatory risk. Thus, it is likely that many of the best high-growth ventures will pass over the requirements of the crowdfunding exemption in Title III, and instead crowd-fund from an upper tier of accredited investors. Ultimately, if the SEC is not careful, the net effect of the JOBS Act may be to further empower more affluent investors, while leaving the crowd behind. http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/the-exchange/jobs-act-could-create-two-tiered-system-012123760.html SOURCE: Yahoo Finance |

Having laid a foundation of access, transparency and trust since arriving at Walmart U.S. four years ago, chief merchandising and marketing officer Duncan Mac Naughton's top priority these days is leveraging joint business planning processes with up to 300 key suppliers to tap new growth opportunities.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Walmart, as the company prepares to promote more than 160,000 employees — including 25,000 promotions during its fourth quarter — ahead of the competitive holiday shopping season.
Mike Graen has left his position as director of innovations and supplier collaboration at Walmart to assume a new role with leading merchandising and marketing services company Crossmark.
The Walmart Foundation gave $2.5 million to Share Our Strength to help the hunger relief organization educate people about eating healthy on a budget.
Arkansas is home to some fine barbeque establishments, but Sam's Club home state was shut out last week when the top prizes were handed out in the retailer's third annual National BBQ Tour.
Sam's Club opened four new 136,000-sq.-ft. units this week expanding its base of clubs to a record 630 units.
Less than two weeks after announcing plans to reduce overall international capital expenditures, top Walmart executives were telling a different story in China this week.
Walmart customers can now trade in their tablets at more than 3,600 stores and Sam's Club locations nationwide. Similar to its new smartphone trade-in program, customers and members can receive up to $300 for their current tablet, which will then be applied toward the purchase of a new tablet.
Former Walmart executive Dijuana Lewis will be joining Aetna as EVP, responsible for the newly formed Consumer Products and Enterprise Marketing organization.
Michelle Gloeckler, SVP of Home at Walmart and head of the retailer's domestic manufacturing initiative is scheduled to give an update on the program, its progress and inner workings in Bentonville next month.

From Psy to Ravi Shankar, the year the world lost legends and found sensations

- Delhi: 51-year-old Danish national alleges gangrape, 15 detained for questioning

It gave birth to quite a few new talents like South Korean singing sensation PSY, but the year gone by also saw the world losing its many legends, ranging from the first space explorers to celebrated authors to sundry music icons to cinema idols.
As the world was drawing to a close, the world of music from India to America braved the most colossal loss in the demise of sitar maestro Ravi Shankar. As the news of his death was announced, a pall of gloom descended over humanity as tributes came pouring in from both sides of the Atlantic for the 'godfather of world music'.
Both Indian and American cinema lost their much-loved icons too as 2012 continued its sweep across the face of time.
While Bollywood's 'first superstar' in Rajesh Khanna was no more, the soft-hearted and lively giant Dara Singh also lost his duel against death. But, his bout was long and eventful.
And, while Hollywood lost its queen of romantic comedies in director Nora Ephron, iconoclast filmmaker Tony Scott claimed his own life leaving his fans and admirers shattered.
For the world of photography, the year began on a note of loss as Homai Vyarawalla, India's first woman photojournalist, died in mid-January leaving a rich documented legacy for the country to see and reflect upon.
As the year progressed, the field of photography continued to be impoverished as noted Indian fashion photographer Prabuddha Dasgupta passed away.
The world of western music suffered huge losses too. While R&B singers Whitney Houston and Donna Summer's death left America bereaved and deprived, jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck's death, aged 91, came as a rude shock as losses kept piling on.
But, music legacy wasn't the only loss in 2012 as mankind lost its first man on the moon and America lost its first woman in space.

Kuhl continues to oversee the administration and day-to-day operations, along with a renewed effort in the area of civic affairs and community outreach. Under his leadership, the Angels have shown growth and advancement in key business initiatives, including sponsorship and marketing revenues, the nationwide expansion and marketing of the Angels brand, an upsurge in attendance (the Angels have topped the 3-million plateau for nine straight seasons) and increased broadcasting revenue through television and radio partnerships. Kuhl also played a key role in working with Major League Baseball when the Angels hosted the 2010 All-Star Game.
In addition, Kuhl is actively involved in several Southern California charities. He serves as the president of the "Light the Night" Event which supports the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and is a founding board member of The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation/Lott Trophy. Kuhl works with Susan G. Komen for the Cure as one of their "Pink Tie Guys," which is a select group of advocates speaking out to find a cure for breast cancer. He also serves on the Board of Governor at Chapman University, along with the Board of Directors for five nonprofits: the Los Angeles Sports Council, Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim, Newport Sports Museum, One Mission Foundation and the Tiger Woods Foundation. A Boonton, New Jersey native, Kuhl graduated from the University of Arizona in 1970 with a degree in business administration.
