Dartmouth Rolls Into H2H Semis |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens | |
Dartmouth rounded off the quarterfinal voting with a win over Army in Day 12 of the Collegiate 7's Head 2 Head Championship yesterday. The Big Green won by a heavy margin and will now move on to face Central Washington in the second semifinal. Arizona and Texas are facing off today, with the winner earning a spot in the final. The teams were deadlocked earlier today, each earning 50 percent of the vote, but Texas has since pulled slightly out in front with 53 percent to Arizona's 47 percent. This is a match up that could still go either way. If the results from the Collegiate Rugby Championship in June are anything to go by, Arizona could still win it, seeing as the Wildcats beat the Longhorns in the third pool round, 19-0. Arizona had an easier time in the pool stages as well, shutting out all their opponents. Texas beat Oklahoma and shut out Temple before their third round meeting. Both teams lost in the Cup quarterfinals. Whichever side voters choose to win today's match up will face either Dartmouth or Central Washington in the final.

I received the product in good shipping condition on the day it was suppose to get here. I took it out of the box and plugged it in and it is good quality picture and all is just as it should be......
I purchased this television to work as a second computer monitor and the quality of the picture and sound is amazing! Would definitely buy another if the need arises.
i love this television. The picture is beautiful and it really fills the need in the bedroom where we put it. My problem was that the television came without manual and remote. I called the number on the box and talked to a very nice person who referred the problem to someone else...and of course those things never came. Called again and was told that the person who was supposed to send them would call me. She did not. Finally contacted Overstock on line and got the remote...no manual. HOWEVER the setup for this television was the EASIEST I have ever seen. There were on-screen prompts that made a manual unnecessary. Bravo for that!
The picture keeps freezing up, and I have to turn it off and back on to get it to unfreeze. It happens about every ten minutes.
Quick delivery, easy setup, product description as advertised and reviews very helpful.
Great picture. Color right on. The size is large but perfect for our room light came quickly. Love it
Unit arrived and was unable to use full screen function as indicated, firmware on unit was pre 2010. The new firmware from Vizio would not upload as USB seemed non functional. Slow to ship and even slower to refund. Third failed sale with ****** BTW I have four Vizio units and this one is a defective model, shop further.
The TV is so compact and slim for my bedroom, that it fits in the area I thought it wouldn't fit. The color and clarity is the best I've seen for a smaller screen TV....great sound too
Just as advertised. Good picture, all accessories came with it. Fast shipping. I am happy with the purchase.

Jade is a beautifully composed, well-acted, very bad movie -- a "sensual mystery," as the producers proclaim, that makes no sense in its lavish dumbness. Both director William Friedkin and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas figure prominently in the iconography of American pop culture, but while Friedkin makes at least some effort to give life to this twisted, misbegotten project, Eszterhas' screenplay is an embarrassing splatter of overcooked, underseasoned machismo -- bonehead lines one after the other, soggy wisecracks, bad swearing, desperate attempts at a hip vernacular. It's as if he were trying to write as foolish a script as possible just to see if he could get it made on the strength of his name alone. If that's the test, then he goes to the head of the class (and collects millions of dollars). As for the moviegoing public: Beware.
Of all the movie's many horrifically silly moments, none is more ludicrous than a car chase through the streets of San Francisco that goes on and on, as if Mel Brooks were directing it. The two cars (built Ford-tough) sail more and more wildly down steep streets, shocks groaning and tires squealing, while their drivers wrestle their steering wheels and manage -- through the miracle of modern cinematography -- not to crash into the cars, school buses, and moving vans (although, mysteriously, no DPT vehicles) that periodically bumble into their path. If only all San Franciscans could drive like that!
The chase is supposed to be breathtaking, but I was left hooting at the idiot boyishness of it (and wondering how horrendously you have to drive before the SFPD will at least try to stop you). This is the kind of scene that 12-year-olds would put in a film if some visionary studio executive gave their sixth-grade class tens of millions of dollars and said, "Be creative, boys!"
The sixth-graders would put in all the off-key "fuck you"s, too, and the leering sexual innuendoes. Is the secret of Eszterhas' success that he's so entirely predictable -- the Rush Limbaugh of screenwriters? Jade is a cryptically fancy name for a movie that might be more accurately titled Testosterone, or, more simply, Balls. It's basically a circle jerk with a lot of crumpled bumpers.
The movie opens at the city's Black and White Ball, where Deputy District Attorney David Corelli (David Caruso, looking noticeably craggier than in his NYPD Blue days) receives word that a prominent socialite has been brutally murdered. An investigation of the deceased's Pacific Heights palace turns up, among other things, photographs of the governor of California (a jovially diabolical Richard Crenna) humping an underage tart.
Further inquiry discloses that it isn't just the governor who's been tomcatting, but a wealth of powerful, well-placed men. And one of the romping women turns out to be classy, trashy Trina (Linda Fiorentino), who was Corelli's college lover before she married Matt Gavin (Chazz Palminteri) and became a famous psychiatrist. Her antics (including her favorite: taking it up the ass) are surreptitiously captured on video.
The movie never settles on a motive for Trina's behavior. Certainly she's not starved for sex at home; when she and Matt are alone in their Hillsborough castle, they're almost always screwing each other's brains out. (And he's got things going on the side, too; in one typically crude scene, he takes a business call, then steps out on the terrace of his high-rise office and, as the Transamerica Pyramid glows in the twilight, gets a blow job from a nameless blond woman.)
Trina's hollowness is vexing only because she stands at the movie's center. The story cannot make sense if she doesn't. And she doesn't. She's not a character at all, just a figure portrayed by an actress who struggles to breathe life into the lifeless lines she's given. Like everyone else in Jade, Trina is a talking Barbie doll whom the filmmakers move about as if she were a chess piece.
At least she's a woman. Eszterhas seems to be afraid enough of the opposite sex not to risk seeming too stupid in rendering them; his women are preposterously slutty, but their language and behavior are muted just enough to keep them from becoming unbearably noxious -- or laughable.
The men are another matter -- a pack of dim-bulb chest-thumpers for whom "sex, power, and money," as Matt tells David, are all that matters. The only scene the film lacks is a fart-sparking competition; every line, every scene and interaction among the male characters is lifted straight from the eighth-grade boys locker room, that stench-choked den of petty devilry.
The styles of Friedkin and Eszterhas fail to mesh in a curious way. (Maybe this is good news for Friedkin.) Eszterhas is a would-be Hemingway waiting for puberty, but Friedkin is a visual composer of some style and complexity. He likes to move the camera around as if it were his own pair of eyes, and he evokes the unsettling sense that whatever the camera happens not to be looking at at a given moment is the most dangerous thing in the room. He manages to create some primal tension without the least bit of help from the script.

In 1916 the Supreme Court ruled that our wages were NOT taxable, that our trading our time and effort for money was a private exchange of goods and not taxable.
The Fed holds our gold. No one know how much, if any, since we have not been allowed to see or audit it since the 1970s when we went off the gold standard.
Yes, we got the income tax in 1913 - the same year we got the Federal Reserve. When we printed our own money, we didn't need to pay interest to the Fed on every dollar printed or added on computers. The Fed is a private cartel of banks - both domestic and foreign - and unaccountable to anyone. It is no more "federal" than Federal Express. It has never been audited in its 100 years (next year) with the exception of a peek at what they did during the 2008 financial crisis (Thank you, Ron Paul). That peek revealed $16 Trillion - more than our national debt and more than we all produce in the US in a year - loaned to banks both here and abroad.
The TEA party and Occupy need to get together and protest as Americans. They are angry at the same things. Some of the Occupiers are starting to understand how detrimental the Federal Reserve is. If we can unite, we will be more effective.
And we're getting more than a little tired of being told what we want.
Nah, that's what the party "leadership" wants. The rest of the country disagrees.

The road is paved for Apple's rumored 'iWatch'
Apple's got a shot at blowing us away with its take on the smartwatch.
At this point, it's really not a matter of if Apple releases its long rumored iWatch, but when. The latest rumor now calls for Apple's eventual device to incorporate a plastic OLED screen that can bend, as well as for models to arrive in three different sizes: 1.3-inch, 1.4-inch, and 1.5-inch. A prototype of the 1.5-inch version has already been made, according to Korean publication Chosun, citing unnamed industry sources.

Rapha Long Sleeve and Lombardia Jerseys
In what passes for cold weather in the record fall heat of Southern California, I've been wearing a couple of pieces from Rapha. Our mornings are still cool, cool enough to require long sleeves if you're on the bike before 8:00 in the morning. I'm going to volunteer a piece of information I don't put out there a lot: I'm not a big fan of long-sleeve jerseys. The challenge of the long-sleeve jersey is one of proportion. It seems that rarely are both the hem length and the sleeve length of the jersey correct. I've had jerseys that fit my chest, but the arms reached beyond my wrists and the pockets hung as low as those on my jeans. I've found other jerseys where the hem was perfect, but the sleeves ended about where my old concert baseball jerseys did—mid-forearm.
Even when those proportions are right, there's another detail that can ruin a long-sleeve jersey for me—sleeve circumference. Most cyclists I know don't have big guns, so having sleeves that leave room for biceps that can curl 150 lbs. seems kinda silly. For a lot of cyclists, you just end up with extra material that flaps in the wind. If ever I had a pet peeve, it's fabric that flaps like a flag left out in a wind storm.
You'll pardon me if I say I was flat-out shocked when I tried on the both the Long Sleeve Jersey and the Lombardia Jersey and they fit almost perfectly. At my chest they were fitted just enough not to bunch up when I leaned down and put my hands in the drops. The sleeves reached to the end of my wrists and the cuffs are cut on a slight taper so that you don't end up with exposed skin between the cuffs and your gloves. The hem was expertly cut as well. My preference is for my jerseys to be cut just a bit shorter, but these have a very traditional fit, short enough that there's no chance of me catching the back of the jersey on the saddle when I go to sit down following a standing effort. And yes, the sleeves were snug enough they didn't flap. Holy cow; it was a veritable fit trifecta.
The jerseys share a few other features as well; they are cut from a 52/48 Merino wool/polyester blend which means they offer the temperature regulating adaptability of Merino with the fit and finish of polyester. It's a great match on paper (or in pixels) but honestly, these are only the second or third wool/poly blend that I've ever seen that didn't look like a shortcut straight to the junkyard. The two outer pockets are cut at an angle to give you easy access and they are also a bit wider than the center pocket. A slim pump sleeve shares space with the middle pocket; it's a great idea, but getting a mini pump and a vest into that space is nearly impossible. There's a fourth, zippered security pocket for something you can't afford to lose, like say a house key, or your sanity. The hems sport a silicone gripper and elasticized draw strings to keep the jerseys fitting snug on breezy days.
Where the Long Sleeve Jersey and the Lombardia Jersey differ is in closure. Not that one of them has unresolved issue, mind you. The Long Sleeve Jersey features a locking, full zipper. As simple and straightforward as hamburger. The Lombardia Jersey, because it is meant to evoke the spirit of Giovanni Gerbi, features a button closure on the left shoulder (five buttons) and at the sleeves (three buttons each). Also helping to distinguish the $240 Lombardia from the $220 Long Sleeve is the embroidery on the rear pocket—a brief homage to Gerbi who was known as il Diavolo Rosso (the red devil)—and just below the collar. It's a choice piece, there's no doubt. There's also exactly zero doubt that trying to button or unbutton the shoulder to adjust for temperature changes is utterly impossible, at least while on the fly. The buttons on the sleeves are a bit more doable and if you unbutton all three buttons, you can pull the sleeves up, effectively turning it into a half-sleeve jersey, which is definitely helpful.
I've found these jerseys to be terrific with just a base layer from low 50s to the mid 60s. Anything warmer and I pull a Wicked Witch of the West and melt. For colder temperatures, the addition of a vest or windbreaker is all you need. Both garments are best-suited to days where the temperature won't vary by 20 degrees as we've been dealing with here. They are both starlet gorgeous. My wife says she loves how the Moroccan Blue of the Long Sleeve Jersey matches my eyes, but my son saw me in the Lombardia and said, "Ooh, cool shirt!"
It's worth noting that while the very first Rapha jerseys I saw were well-made, I didn't care much for the finish of the fabric and I liked the cut and fit even less. These are noticeably better than those first efforts. If these jerseys don't last people ten years, it won't be for lack of quality. For those who think $220 is too much to spend on a jersey, there are other good options. This is one of those occasions where the cost of this garment can easily be justified by how long it's going to last. I've examined the embroidery, the seams, the fabric. I could foresee buying a steel frame to match either of these and retiring them both in the same season.

Wales, despite going into battle as World Cup semi-finalists and Six Nations champions, will arrive at the Millennium Stadium next Saturday as rank outsiders.
While the All Blacks breezed past Scotland and Italy on a so far effortless autumn journey, scoring 93 points and 11 tries, injury-ravaged Wales are reeling from home defeats against Argentina and Samoa.
To compound matters, Wales posted a solitary touchdown across those two games, and that was an interception effort, which highlights how far their renowned attacking game has fallen.
"I don't want to offer excuses because we are bigger than that," scrum-half Phillips said.
"We know we are going to get a lot of flak now, but it's important that we show we can stand up to people. We have to be strong.
"It is quite a young group and a lot of them wouldn't have experienced something like this, but the senior players have, and we can bounce back.
"We've done it in the past and we can do it again.
"We have had a lot of injuries, which has been unfortunate, but we can't look for excuses. These things make you stronger and we have to be positive and learn from this."
Samoa's 26-19 success means Wales are without a win in five Tests since they beat the Barbarians on June 2. One more defeat would make it their longest losing run for 10 years.
They will face the All Blacks without injured forwards Adam Jones, Alun-Wyn Jones and Dan Lydiate, while hookers Richard Hibbard (shoulder) and Matthew Rees (calf) are also on the casualty list, together with first five-eighths Dan Biggar.
But injury issues aside, Wales remain miles away from attaining performance levels that saw them march through last season's Six Nations campaign unbeaten.
"You have to get the basics of rugby right," added 70 times-capped Phillips. "We have to improve these things.
"We are obviously devastated. It was really poor [against Samoa] and we just weren't good enough.
"There were too many errors, our discipline wasn't good enough and we gave away too many penalties. They came to spoil the breakdown and kick the ball, but it's just really disappointing.
"The players on the pitch have to stand up. We are making silly mistakes, dropping the ball, giving silly penalties away. It is fine margins, and it's the players that have to stand up."
Phillips believes the Wales squad owe their coaching staff - bolstered this week by boss Warren Gatland's return from preparatory British and Irish Lions business - and supporters a performance.
New Zealand and Australia, fresh from defeating England at Twickenham yesterday, threaten an autumn whitewash for Wales, while their opening Six Nations fixture against Ireland is just 11 weeks away.
"We have a great management team," Phillips said.
"All the players respect them and want to play well for them and the public. It's disappointing that we have let a lot of people down.
"Next Saturday is a chance to put some pride back in the jersey, and we have to do that. We have to show people that we are proud of the jersey."

Department of Energy Official Outlines Search to Fill Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant
By Chad Lampe
The Department of Energy recently hosted a two day workshop in Paducah to meet with a variety of regional and global company leaders on the prospects of reindustrializing the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion plant. The DOE owns the PGPD and leases it to companies.
Currently, the United States Enrichment Corporation or USEC leases the facility to re-enrich uranium for power plants with the help of 1,200 employees. USEC's operations are scheduled to end in May 2013.
The DOE's Paducah-Portsmouth Project Manager Bill Murphie spoke with Chad Lampe about the workshop and the DOE's next steps to maintain a source of employment for the region. or joining me.

Energy Efficiency: Who Gets It? Anybody?
Friday, February 1st, 2013It's easy for those of us who 'talk' energy every day to forget that we operate in a bubble. Outside the bubble the average household is at best vaguely aware of the enormous technology revolution about to change the way each of us uses electricity.

We know that you are bored of your site, not only are you bored, more importantly your potential customers are bored stiff!
Don't worry though, help is at hand with our professional graphics, we will be making customers stick to your site.
EcoverBee is a professional graphic design business. We have been making our customers happy for over five years and our client base is expanding by the minute.
There are several things that make eCoverBee different, and let's face it, better than our competitors. We care about your needs, we know that you have a specific design idea in mind, and it is our job to create that for you. If you aren't happy with our work, we won't charge you a penny! How many other sites do you know that offer this…with a smile?
Just like Bees we're totally loyal and dedicated to our queen – YOU! We work tirelessly to create graphics you will be buzzing about in a time frame that will literally blow you away!
Wait! There's more! Not only are our graphics of a quality that will astound and amaze you, we offer a range of options that will suit your business down to the ground. Plus, just ask and we will do! We have no problems with any requests about products that you may need, we always offer honest advice.
By now, I know you are interested in what we are about, but here is the clincher! OUR PRICE! I know, it is un'bee'liveble to think that you can afford our services when we are clearly artists in our field, but the truth is, we want everyone to have beautiful graphics to make the world a prettier place. That is why we are so affordable.
Here is a little about me, Andy, who is the lead designer for eCoverBee.
I trained as a graphic designer over seven years ago. I guess I chose to do this because I love creating things, and this is clearly obvious in my work. I am a perfectionist, which although drives those around me mad, works out great for you! If you aren't happy, then neither am I. Simple as that! I am constantly striving to up my game and create new and unique graphic effects that will wow my clients.
And I understand the importance of getting your graphics to you quickly, which is why I work flat out to get the first draft back to you within 48 hours tops! You see I know that time is money, and you don't want to be wasting either on your graphics.
Before you make your decision on which package you would like for us to whisk your way, let's recap why graphics are so important to you and your business!
Ever heard people say "Image is everything Darhhling"? Sure you have, usually by extremely rich people who are justifying buying a diamond the size of a small child's head! But, there is a lot of truth in this!
Be honest, you wouldn't buy your new car from a guy wearing torn trainers and a tatty t-shirt. Well, it is exactly the same for you and your product! If your web site looks dull, tatty or basic, then unfortunately that is what your potential customer will think your dream product is. Rubbish right? Of course it is, but first impressions last, and if your business isn't represented to the highest possible standard then you will lose out on sales.
Our graphics improve your sales! It has been proven, not with made up statistics, but by our customers! One of our customers saw a 28% increase in sales within days of putting our graphics on his site. Think of your sales increasing by 28%, what would that mean to you? Expanding your business, quitting the day job? The possibilities are endless.
What you get from us that you don't get from other "professional" sites is a detailed understanding of graphology and power that colour and the connotations we hold with these has upon your product and the way in which it will sell. We will put everything, all our knowledge and artistic talent into selling your product!
Now that you have seen what we have to offer, you now need to head on over to the services page. Through the services page you will be given an option of packages. If you require something that isn't on our current packages, just email Andy at eCoverBee to get your individual quotation.

Economists question global warming legislation
Economists told a U.S. Senate panel last month that legislation to combat global warming could kill jobs in refining, manufacturing, and other industries, even as union and energy company leaders hailed the promise of a new "green" workforce trained in renewable power .
The Houston Chronicle reported the comments came in testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, which was examining how proposed caps on greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming could bring major changes to the U.S. energy workforce by shifting jobs away from dirtier oil and natural gas toward wind, solar, and nuclear power.
Senator Max Baucus, D-Mont., chair of the Finance Committee, said he was "committed to passing meaningful, balanced climate change legislation," but added Congress must "work to minimize any job losses."
The finance panel—a committee filled with members from the Midwest, Rust Belt, and coal-reliant regions who have been critical of the leading climate change legislation—will play a key role in shaping the pending legislation.
Under the House-passed bill and a similar Senate measure by Senators John Kerry, D-Mass., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., companies could stay within steadily tightening caps on emissions by buying and trading allowances to release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
The Senate and House cap-and-trade plans would distribute 30% of the allowances for free to state-regulated local electric distributors in the hopes they would prevent price spikes for consumers. Half of the free allowances for electricity distributors would be handed out based on sales, with the other half being allocated based on historic emissions—a formula that has angered Midwestern senators from states that are reliant on coal-fired power. They argue the formula would give coastal customers more of the credits and are pushing for the allowances to be mostly distributed based on previous emissions.
Under the Kerry-Boxer bill, emissions allowances also would be given to refiners, manufacturers, and other trade-sensitive industries during the initial years of the carbon dioxide cap.
Even so, manufacturing would sustain heavy job losses under the climate change proposal, predicted Margo Thorning, chief economist for the American Council on Capital Formation, a conservative think tank. Thorning estimated even with new jobs created in "green industries," there would be a net loss of 80,000 jobs in 2020, with more than half of them from the manufacturing sector.
Kenneth Green, a resident scholar with the American Enterprise Institute, another conservative think tank, said the proposed cap-and-trade program "will cause significant economic harm and will kill and export jobs, for little or no environmental benefit."
Kerry took issue with those forecasts and said they did not include the cost of inaction—that global warming could increase prices in the form of crops that are more expensive to produce and "rivers that are more polluted that we have to clean up."
Abraham Breehey, the legislative affairs director for the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers, said global warming legislation would spur new "demand for climate solutions (that) will create job opportunities across the economy."
Kerry said U.S. caps on carbon could encourage investments in clean energy technology. However, he said, "if we just sit here … and don't do this, China, India and a host of other countries are going to clean our clock economically. … Other countries are going to beat us to the technologies, and we're going to be sitting there sucking wind."
Separately, Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, said in a statement that the Finance Committee was involved in a "false" choice in "choosing between jobs in the traditional energy sectors, like the oil and natural gas industry, and new green jobs."
Major oil and gas developers already are "creating new green jobs through (their) investments in zero- and low-carbon technologies," Gerard said.

An Excerpt from Murder, She Wrote: Close-Up On Murder
It's a brand-new episode of the USA Today bestselling series—and Jessica Fletcher is finding out that some people in the movie biz can make you, break you, or just plain kill you… Cabot Cove is about to be invaded—by Hollywood. One of Jessica's older novels is being made into a big-budget movie. The producer has decided to shoot most of the film on location in town, since the book was loosely based on a murder that shocked Cabot Cove over a decade earlier. The murder occurred when a judge was gunned down while walking her dog. The prime suspect: an enraged husband whom the judge ruled against in a child custody case. But further investigation pointed to the victim's own husband—and ultimately to his mistress, accused of eliminating her rival. Unfortunately, everyone on the set has a hidden agenda. A novice director wants his shot at the big-time. A fading star, making a comeback, has many unreasonable demands. Her astrologer sees trouble in the stars. And a stranger on the movie lot is stalking Jessica. But fiction and reality fatally collide when the actress playing the judge is shot—the only witness her dog—and there's a cast and crew of possible suspects. With tensions between locals and the Hollywood horde mounting, Jessica must find the killer before anyone else is left on the cutting-room floor. |

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is so committed to becoming America's biggest beer retailer that it has been selling Budweiser, Coors and other brews almost at cost in at least some stores.
The markup on a 36-pack of Coors Light cans at a Los- Angeles-area store was 0.6 percent, compared with 16.2 percent for a package of Flaming Hot Cheetos, according to internal documents reviewed by Bloomberg. Companies typically don't release information about markups so the March data provide a rare glimpse of Wal-Mart's alcohol pricing strategy.
Wal-Mart's push into beer is part of a plan to double alcohol sales by 2016 and seize a larger slice of a U.S. beer market worth about $45 billion. While founder Sam Walton frowned on drinking to excess, selling cheap suds is a way to lure shoppers who typically buy other products at the same time. Repeat visits are crucial for the world's largest retailer, which last month cut its profit forecast and reported second- quarter profit and sales that missed analysts' estimates.
"We continue to look for opportunities to invest in price," Wal-Mart U.S. chief Bill Simon said at a Goldman Sachs conference last week. "A great example for us is adult beverages. We have been continuing to move prices lower on that and seeing returns in the form of market-share gains in that category."
While the markup on beer at the Los Angeles-area store was less than 1 percent, Wal-Mart sold Coca-Cola 20-ounce bottles for 29.9 percent above cost, according to the data. Cereals such as Quaker Quick Oats and Honey Nut Cheerios were marked up 32.5 percent and 16.6 percent, respectively.
Deisha Barnett, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, said pricing is determined market by market and declined to say whether the markups were nationally representative.
"This is nothing new that we're investing in price in adult beverage," she said in a telephone interview. "Grocers have long invested in this to drive traffic."
Wal-Mart's gross margin, the percentage of sales left after the cost of goods sold, was 24.7 percent for the quarter ending July 31. Target's gross margin in the quarter ended Aug. 3 was 31.4 percent.
A year ago, Chief Merchandising Officer Duncan MacNaughton told 500 alcohol industry representatives attending an "adult beverage summit" at Wal-Mart's Bentonville, Ark., headquarters that the company would discount alcohol as part of its strategy to gain share in the category. Wal-Mart has since discounted a range of mainstream and craft beers, doubled the number of alcohol buyers to 12 and cleared more shelf space to promote alcoholic beverages.

Well, here we are---once again in one of New England's best months which is battered by the cascading waves of pink. And not even a pretty pink, but generally bright Pepto Bismal pink. In my community, the weekly newspaper arrives on pink paper; there are billboards everywhere, and signs urging us to buy a particular toothpaste or pasta or drink on an airplane with "proceeds going to cancer research." Delta has even painted one of its planes bright pink (fortunately I was on United yesterday, and it was regular old airplane color). One of the most irritating things to me is that this vague "cancer research" is rarely defined. Exactly to whom is our money coming? Exactly how will it be used? Since that it not addressed, it is even easier to assume this is mostly about sales and marketing.
In addition to just being sick of it, here are my major complaints about all the Pink:
1. What about all the other kinds of cancer? We may get tired of this, but imagine how you would feel if you had stomach cancer and could not get away from all the breast cancer hype.
2. Per above, exactly where are these research dollars going?
3. Women who have been diagnosed with any kind of cancer are not automatically "heroes". We are just doing our best to cope with what life has delivered to us.
4. And, maybe, most of all: breast cancer is NOT trendy or sexy or anything pretty. It is blood red and destroys some women and families while traumatizing many others. The hype would have you believe that annual mammograms = early detection = cure. Not always so. The script is not have your mammogram, oops, tiny breast cancer requiring minimal surgery and some other inconveniences, then quickly back to backpacking in the Andes or walking a beach in Hawaii with a gorgeous man.
To finish my rant, here is a list of good movies to avoid this and any other month:

ALL OF THESE FILMS REQUIRE A BOX OF TISSUES Hollywood has its own interpretation of breast cancer in film. The top 5 tear-jerking movies with breast cancer plots often involve a dysfunctional family and lots of sadness.
As we honor those who have battled breast cancer this month, here's a look at how Hollywood has handled the breast cancer storyline on film. Get your hankies out, these are five films with tear-jerking breast cancer plots.
1. Pieces of AprilIn this 2003 film, a young Katie Holmes plays a quirky girl who has a hard time fitting into her dysfunctional family.
Although she's been estranged from them, she decides to invite them over for a Thanksgiving dinner, one that will probably be the last for her mother who is dying from breast cancer. The dinner does not go as planned, but life lessons are learned through the tough journey for Holmes' character.
2. The Family StoneAnother dysfunctional family movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Keaton headlining an ensemble cast. This2005 film goes through the chaos of family holidays when a son brings home his uptight girlfriend who doesn't mesh well with his family. While all the drama goes down around them, the matriarch of the family is losing her fight to breast cancer.
3. Terms of EndearmentPerhaps the weepiest of the lot, this 1983 movie starring Shirley McClaine and Debra Winger follows -- you guessed it-- a dysfunctional mother and daughter's relationship through the years. The Oscar®-winning film's plot leads up to Winger's diagnosis of breast cancer and her eventual death, which requires an entire box of tissues to get through.
4. Five5. My BreastYou cannot have a sad movie without thinking of the Lifetime channel. In 2011, the network produced a groundbreaking look at how the disease impacts the lives and families of breast cancer patients. An anthology of five short films was created and directed by celebrities like Alicia Keys, Jennifer Aniston and Demi Moore. The stories dive into the journey through laughter, but also through many tears.
This is an older film from the Lifetime network, but still a tear-jerker. The 1994 TV movie follows a career woman, played by Meredith Baxter, who makes drastic life changes when she discovers she has breast cancer. The sentimental film tackles some of the loneliness and isolation patients sometimes feel when they are suffering from breast cancer.
