Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. A costume and make-up featurette for the movie has just been released. Watch it below!
When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well.
"Oz The Great and Powerful" is produced by Joe Roth, with screen story by Mitchell Kapner and screenplay by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire. Grant Curtis, Palak Patel, Josh Donen and Philip Steuer are serving as executive producers. "Oz The Great and Powerful" opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.

Whether it is due to negligence or distractions, a driver failing to properly pay attention for even a fraction of a second could cause a tragic incident. Motorcyclists often fall victim of being involved in a collision when another motorist fails to see them traveling on the roadways. Our firm understands that Louisiana motorcyclists and their loved ones could be greatly impacted by a motorcycle crash. This is why it is important to fully understand their situation and what investigation is essential to prove liability. This is especially necessary if the victim or their loved ones seek compensation for their losses and damages.
Motorcycle Accidents Archives
Motorcycle crash in Baton Rouge results in one death
It is not uncommon for drivers to encounter motorcycles on the roadways, especially during the warm months or in states that stay relatively warm year round. Due to their small size, however, motorcycle are not always easily visible to other drivers. If a driver fails to check their mirrors and blind spots before making a lane change or fails to yield to oncoming traffic, a serious motorcycle accident could ensue.
Could helmet laws impact claims after motorcycle accidents?
Motorcyclists in Louisiana understand that there are risks associated with traveling by motorized bikes. While these vehicles can be considerably safe, when an accident ensues, the rider could suffer serious injuries. A major concern following a motorcycle accident is a head trauma. Due to the serious nature of a head injury, some states have passed helmets laws. In the state of Louisiana, there are mandatory helmet laws, and bikers should be aware how these rules could affect their civil actions following a motorcycle crash.
Louisiana motorcycle accident kills one and injures another
Louisiana motorists encounter various events on the roadway. Whether it is traffic, a detour or just normal travel, a driver or an automobile should be fully aware of their surroundings, so they can make appropriate actions. This means frequently looking at mirrors, checking blind spots and watching for oncoming traffic. Failure to uphold this duty could mean a collision. This is especially true when motorists are traveling near motorcycles. The ability for these small vehicles to go unnoticed is likely, so drivers should always be on the lookout for them.
Motorcyclist dies from injuries after driver's failure to yield
Certain safety precautions are taken by motorists every day to avoid collisions. Even when a driver abides by the rules of the road, the carelessness of another driver could lead to a serious or even fatal crash. Failure to uphold a standard duty of care is often the cause of an accident, and whether it is due to speeding, texting while driving or failing to follow road signs and signals, these negligent acts could significantly affect the lives of many.
Turning vehicle causes fatal motorcycle crash
During the summer months, residents in Louisiana note an increase of individuals and families traveling in the state. Major cities might have more tourists, which also means more traffic in the area. Some of these vehicles might include motorcycles. Whether they are traveling in a large group or solo, these small vehicles can sometimes go unnoticed by other drivers. This could cause a major collision between the two, resulting in either a serious or fatal motorcycle crash.
Motorcyclist struck and killed by negligent driver in Louisiana
Louisiana drivers will often encounter motorcycles on the roadway throughout the year. The summer months often mean an increased amount of bikers on the roads, especially during the late night hours. These small vehicles sometimes go unnoticed by other drivers due to their capability of hiding in blind spots. If a negligent driver fails to check a blind spot, signal a turn or yield to oncoming traffic, a serious or even fatal motorcycle accident could occur.
Automobile-motorcycle accident claims the life of motorcyclist
Whether it is to enjoy a nice day or travel across the country, motorcyclists are seen frequently traveling on various roadways. These small vehicles often go unnoticed due to their small size. Drivers should take extra caution during the warmer months because a larger amount of motorcycles are on the roads. Drivers should double check their blind spots, utilize their mirror and check oncoming traffic before turning or maneuvering between lanes. If a driver is negligent or distracted, they could easily collide with these small vehicles, injuring or killing the rider.
Motorcyclist struck and killed on Louisiana highway
Whether it is due to warm weather, to travel across country or as a hobby, motorcyclists can be seen traveling around and through Louisiana. These small vehicles can easily go unnoticed if drivers do not check their mirrors, blind spots and oncoming traffic. Failure to do so could cause a serious or even fatal collision. A motorcycle accident often ends tragically due to the lack of safety features. Although motorcyclists should wear a helmet, the impact of a vehicle could easily throw them off their bike causing them to be in critical condition.
Driver collides head-on with two motorcyclists, killing one
Motor vehicles are considered very useful and rather safe, but an inattentive driver could easily cause an automobile to become severely dangerous. This is especially true when motorcycles are traveling near the distracted driver. Drivers should always be aware of their surroundings and double-check their blind spots for these small vehicles. Failure to check for nearby or on-coming motorcyclists could lead to a serious motorcycle accident.

An interesting device was IIT-Kanpur's "Vorwis" which explores the world of virtual reality and allows you to actually "touch" things on your computer screen
One day in the future you might not have to hold a mouse while working on your computer. Your right hand will be able to do all the things that your computer mouse does right now. You might also just get to see what your soul-mate really thinks of you. A day might also come when part of your brain could be artificially embedded in your hand – possibilities if all things go to plan according to IIT students from Delhi, Mumbai, Roorkee and Kanpur who were shortlisted for the "Samsung Innovation Awards 2012" on Thursday.
"Just put your right hand through this glove and see, your hand is now a computer mouse," said Abhay, a third-year student from IIT-Bombay, introducing his innovation as the "Hand-Pic'D" which "aims to provide spatial coordinates thereby making it the perfect controller for anything from the mouse to robotic arms, that understands your motion, rather than you learning how to use it first."
Do our outer-selves reflect who we really are on the inside? IIT-Delhi's fourth year students Utkarsh and Devashish want you to know how you really look on the inside. "We have developed a system in which you feed in your interests and accordingly are set up with a stranger who has the same interests. The stranger then tags you according to your personality. So if you've been a geeky sort, then your avatar designed by this software would be an absolute nerd," said Uttarish, explaining the workings of their innovation, "Zumble.com," which also "aims to match strangers better and enrich avatars in finding the right heuristics to match strangers or in keeping the ecosystem safe from profanity."
The next invention is meant for those suffering from paralysis as a result of a spinal cord injury. "In a spinal cord injury the brain stops communicating to a particular part or the whole body therefore resulting in complete paralysis. This invention allows you to inject a part of the brain cells into a prosthetic arm or leg which will function like the brain, thereby allowing the person to move that arm or leg whenever he wants to, without the brain in his head telling the arm or leg to do it," said IIT-Delhi's Paras Ajay who has developed the "tele-operation through brain machine interface" along with team-mates Achin Jain and Punnet Singhal
More creations
Another interesting device was IIT-Kanpur's "Vorwis" which explores the world of virtual reality and allows you to actually "touch" things on your computer screen.
There were three equal winners declared for the awards, without there being a first second or third. Among the winners was CLASAT, an audio-based context and event recognition system for mobile platform invented by Anurag Kumar and Pranay Dighe from IIT-Kanpur, "Drishti" universal eyeglasses using tunable-focus lens system and an intelligence module which quantifies refractive errors without human intervention developed by Bhushan N. Kharbikar, Nitin T. Pawar, Ajay V. Suryavanshi and Chaitali Joshi from IIT-Bombay, and the "Zumble.com" developed by IIT-Delhi's Abhishek Gupta, Devashish Tyagi, Saurabh Kumar, Sherjil Ozair, and Utkarsh.
A special acknowledgement was made for "Vorwis" developed by Ganesh Pitchiah and Pragyanandesh from IIT-Kanpur.
The winning teams received a cash reward along with a Samsung trophy and a tablet for their institute. The awards were instituted by Samsung India Electronics Limited along with the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT). The innovations were shortlisted through two jury rounds comprising senior members from the IITs and Samsung's research and development. The projects were judged based on innovativeness, feasibility, relevance and the overall impact it could have on masses.

'Ordinary Man' MP Matovič accuses Fico of lying
5 Aug 2010 Flash News
Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) MP Igor Matovič, who made it into parliament with three other colleagues from the Ordinary People civic association, reacted emotionally to a speech by former prime minister and current deputy speaker of parliament Robert Fico. During a debate on the new government's programme statement, Fico made a 30-minute address in the house, in which he refused to take responsibility for the serious situation in public finances. He criticised the draft government programme as vague and without solutions.
"Are you not ashamed to say before [all] Slovakia that you did not put the burden of the crisis on regular people's shoulders? I am asking you, Mr Fico, who will repay the hundreds of billions of debts you bear responsibility for? Do you want to say that it will not be the people of this country? It will be the people of this country, unfortunately, nobody else; and only because of you," Matovič said, as quoted by the SITA newswire.
Matovič and the three other Ordinary People MPs, whose SaS caucus supports the coalition government, were the subject of speculation in late July about whether they might refuse to vote in favour of the government programme. They have since pledged their support.

Steven Seagal's Entire Career in 12 Films: 'Seagalogy: The Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal' ReviewedFeatures By Robert Fure on April 18, 2012 | Comments (1)
If you asked around "What 1980s action star deserves a comprehensive guide to his films?" you'd probably hear Sylvester Stallone, Jean Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and possibly even Dolph Lundgren before someone got around to Steven Seagal. We'll ignore the smart ass who said Michael Dudikoff too. The world, being as unpredictable as it is, had a different view of things and blessed (cursed?) one writer with an unnatural fascination of Steven Seagal. That man is Vern and his study of the ass-kicking films of Steven Seagal, "Seagalogy" has been updated, expanded, and is now fit for your consumption. In addition to telling you about this book, I'm also going to use it to help break down the career path of Steven Seagal in just twelve short films.

Avery Stafford - Undignified
By Peggy Oliver
From leading his first song in church at age two (with prayer and guidance from his mother) Avery Stafford eventually wanted people to see Jesus personified. For his latest CD, the self-released Undignified, the California native meshes classic and contemporary urban stylings.
Despite an obvious vocal talent, the current worship pastor for Valley Church in Cupertino, California pursued extensive education from Abilene Christian University, and Multnomah Biblical Seminary in Portland, Oregon. Though his voice echoes Luther Vandross, Staffords musical inspirations run from Tonex to Stevie Wonder. One of several accomplishments in his career was receiving the MP3.coms Top Gospel Artist in 2003. Both radio and the internet have embraced Staffords latest effort, especially the music video, How Sweet It Is (2b Loved By You).
The aforementioned song, the huge Motown hit How Sweet It Is (2b Loved By You), covered by Marvin Gaye and James Taylor amongst others, receives a synthesized, funky 80s treatment. Stafford adds jazzmatazz phrasing, while Jared Duba (aka Jesus Disciple) delivers a spicy rap breakdown, followed by a thunderous Thank You Lord for the final punctuation.
Switching from full throbbing to a romantic love type ballad, Everything I Own accounts the ultimate sacrifices our Lord has made on our behalf: The total bid came from a man named Jesus as tender and kind. All the angels and creation bow down to the great I Am, including the peaks of Kilimanjaro. Lending vocal adoration is The Undignified Choir (consisting of friends from Portland, Oregon).
Get My Praise On kicks in high gear, reminding us in the process, patience equals dividends: They say that good will come to those who wait on it. For those who learn to wait, then we Hold On as loneliness is dispelled and self becomes futile: I will never deny Your power. The backing harmonies give a massive power surge.
Stafford works his musical savvy with a smooth-jazz interpretation of Listen To Our Hearts, a Geoff Moore/Steven Curtis Chapman composition originally recorded by Moore and Chapman in the nineties.

Peter Bergman
Get your brain around this. On Nov. 27, it will be one quarter of a century since Peter Bergman joined CBS's The Young and the Restless as the ruthless but maddeningly lovable Jack Abbott. "In some ways it seems like I got here only yesterday," says Bergman. "But then I'm on the set and look over at Hunter King [who plays Summer] and realize I was already on the show four years when she was born! What the hell?" To celebrate Bergman's milestone, TV Guide Magazine asked the three-time Emmy winner to look back over his run, pick his favorite scenes and give us the scoop on each. Check out the awesome clips!
Joshua Morrow
Not possible! It's been 20 years since Joshua Morrow joined CBS's The Young and the Restless as Nicholas Newman, the suddenly sprouted, wondrously hunky son of the nefarious Victor and his drama queen Nikki. "Man, this anniversary really makes me feel old but also very grateful," Morrow says. "This is the best job in the world and, second to my children, my proudest accomplishment. I hope to do it as long as CBS and Sony and the fans will have me. It's the ride of a lifetime." TV Guide Magazine sat down for a gab session with Morrow to go over his picks for the five most memorable, perfectly Nick-tastic scenes ever. Make sure to check out the clips!

Ray Wise, Camryn Grimes
In a wild one-two punch, CBS's The Young and the Restless has revealed that Fake Cassie, the scam artist played by Camryn Grimes, is in evil cahoots with Ian Ward, the creepy self-help guru played by Ray Wise. There's more! Fake Cassie, it turns out, is also Mariah, the much-discussed but never-seen ex-paramour of Tyler Michaelson (Redaric Williams). TV Guide Magazine spoke with executive producer Jill Farren Phelps to get the backstage dish on the two hot reveals and to find out where Mariah and Ian go from here. Is anyone safe?
TV Guide Magazine: Let's start with the nefarious Ian. Was it always the plan to connect him with Fake Cassie/Mariah?
Phelps: Not at all. Ray Wise was only supposed to be with us for a short story arc — 10 days — but we quickly realized what a gold mine he is. In order to keep him, it became necessary to connect Ian with someone else on the show, beyond Nikki and Dylan. Ray has been a wonderful fresh face in Genoa City. The second he hit the screen it was, "Jackpot!" We knew this immediately, of course, but his episodes hadn't aired yet. By the time we knew the audience was crazy about Ray, too, we'd already completed our original agreement with him.
Kristoff St. John, Drew Carey and Mishael Morgan
Come on down! Daytime's top-rated drama for the last 25 years — that would be CBS's The Young and the Restless — will celebrate its 41st anniversary on Wednesday, March 26 with a guest appearance by Drew Carey and an epic flashback from 1981 that's sure to leave fans buzzing. Look for Hilary (Mishael Morgan) and Neil (Kristoff St. John) to visit The Price Is Right while on their business trip to L.A., plus a vintage clip featuring Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Paul (Doug Davidson) fresh from their skinny-dipping adventure 33 years ago. Are the Y&R writers planning to reteam them romantically?
Eric Braeden
He's got a need for speed. Emmy award-winning actor Eric Braeden — a.k.a Victor Newman on CBS's The Young and the Restless — is joining Oscar winner Adrien Brody, Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan, Olympic sprinter Carmelita Jeter, sci-fi goddess Tricia Helfer and a slew of other cool stars in the 2014 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Pro/Celebrity Race. The wildly popular annual event, set for April 12 in Long Beach, California, will benefit "Racing for Kids," a fundraising program that supports children's hospitals throughout the U.S. TV Guide Magazine spoke with the irrepressible Braeden about this fast-and-furious adventure and what he really thinks about everyone in Genoa City being so damn mad at The Mustache. Buckle up!
Melody Thomas Scott
Break out the bubbly! Nikki Newman, the hard-luck heroine played by Melody Thomas Scott on The Young and the Restless, has killed three people, married 11 times, battled pills and booze, worked as both a stripper and a hooker and even spread VD. Yet somehow she has managed to remain a pillar of Genoa City society. How does she do it? To find out, TV Guide Magazine sat down with Thomas Scott, who joined the CSB soap exactly 35 years ago Thursday. She shared with us her favorite, wildest, most trashtastic Nikki moments and we have clips to go with them that you won't believe! Check 'em out below.
Eric Braeden, Melody Thomas Scott
He didn't mean to throw the Twitterverse into a tizzy. Many fans of CBS's The Young and the Restless — at least the noisy ones on social media — were thrilled when news broke last week that controversial head writer Josh Griffith had exited the show. One fan on Twitter asked Y&R's alpha-dog star Eric Braeden (Victor) his opinion of Griffith's departure and Braeden tweeted back: "I'm very pissed off!!! Enough said!!!" That stunned a lot of folks who apparently assumed the Emmy-winning actor — currently on the back burner like a lot of other beloved Y&R vets — would be doing cartwheels at the prospect of a writer change. TV Guide Magazine sat down with Braeden to find out what he's really thinking — and get more out of him than 140 characters!
Jeanne Cooper
We knew this day would come. Last May, the soap community mourned the death of 84-year-old Jeanne Cooper, the great Emmy-winning star of The Young and the Restless. Now it's time to say goodbye to her character, Katherine Chancellor. In episodes airing Sept. 3 and 4, the citizens of Genoa City — past and present — will gather at Chancellor Park, a sprawling new set for the CBS soap, where they will pay their final respects to "the Duchess."Among the stars returning for the flashback-packed ...

When one Animal sleuth solved a clue in an online scavenger hunt on her website, the 'Warrior' singer unlocked her track 'C'mon' as a reward.
Listen to Rihanna + Chris Brown Duet 'Nobody's Business'
Are Rihanna and Chris Brown (aka ChRihanna) trying to tell us something, like, say, the status of their relationship is none of our bidness? The duo's duet 'Nobody's Business' has hit the web and it's got a '70s-inspired beat. But beyond that, it's also coyly suggestive about their status and rife with dual meaning.

A new Gallup Well-Being poll shows one out of five Silver State residents have a body mass index of at least 30.
Only Montana and Colorado had lower obesity rates.
Mississippi was ranked the most obese state, with a rate of just over 35 percent.
Gallup says the national obesity rate rose 2 percent last year, to about 27 percent.

Petron consultant Todd Purves also a scout for Memphis Grizzlies, sees Filipino player in NBA
Apart from serving as a consultant for the Petron Blaze Boosters in the PBA, Todd Purves moonlights as a scout for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies, evaluating prospects from the Asia Pacific region.
After watching the FIBA Asia Championship intently, Purves thinks we could see a Filipino player making his mark in the NBA.
"I think it's only a matter of time before you see a Filipino player with size and athleticism who would transfer to the NBA because you have a pretty good size pool of players," Purves told InterAKTV in an exclusive interview.
"I was blessed when I was exposed to the Gilas Pilipinas team and I can see the passion of the fans right away. It was overwhelming to see it in a wonderful way to see how much the people appreciated the effort and the hard work of the team."
Purves said the Gilas stint in the World Cup would be a big opportunity for Filipino players to showcase their talent to the rest of the world.
"I'm so excited for them competing in the World Cup. I can assure you that during the world championship, there will be tons of NBA scouts there, including myself. Certainly, anytime you play at the stage that big in international competition, you have an opportunity to shine," said Purves.
A new addition to the Petron Blaze coaching staff, Purves is enjoying being part of the Filipino basketball culture.
"It's a very aggressive style," said Purves. "It's a passionate style, I love the intensity, not only the players, but also the crowd, the coaches. I've never been in a country where basketball was just woven into the fabric of the community. That's the way here in the Philippines. I'm still in the process of learning the league and player tendencies and that kind of stuff."

Liza Minnelli to guest star on TV musical drama Smash
Published on Nov 14, 2012 6:19 AM
LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Liza Minnelli will guest star on an episode of TV musical drama Smash, NBC said on Tuesday.
The singer and actress will play herself and sing a number in one episode of the show when it returns in February 2013. The series, starring Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston and Katharine McPhee, dramatises the backstage life of writers, producers and actors working to create a Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe.
"Liza Minnelli is the essence of a multi-talented, singular show business sensation, particularly for her extraordinary contributions to Broadway," Mr Robert Greenblatt, the president of NBC Entertainment, said in a statement.
"So what could be more fitting than to have her legendary talent on a show that celebrates a world Liza has dazzled for decades?" he added. The daughter of director Vincente Minnelli and Hollywood legend Judy Garland, Minnelli, 66, is one of a handful of stars to have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony award.

Premier Letting Agents in Ealing London W5
Letting Agents in Ealing London W5
Area Feature
For those who want to look at flats to rent slightly out of the centre of London, the borough of Ealing could be the perfect choice.
Situated in the west of the capital and nestled between Brent and Hounslow, it is a large area boasting a significant amount of green spaces. This, along with its larger-sized abodes, makes it ideal for families looking for flats to rent with plenty of space and easy access to the city.
The borough is divided into Ealing and North Ealing, with many properties located along Ealing Common. A great deal of the homes are from Victorian and Edwardian times, which means they boast an old-fashioned charm as well as space and desirability.
Larger properties are also available in the Montpelier Park and Brentham areas, while West Ealing offers some of the most affordable housing in the borough - ideal for those who want city living without the hefty price tag.
So, why are flats to rent in the London borough of Ealing a good idea for people hoping to move to the area? You only have to look at the savings to be made to see.
The average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in the area ranges from £758 per month to £1,105 per month, while a two-bedroom abode will set you back £1,400 per month and a three-bedroom flat comes in at an average of £1,725.
In comparison, the average cost of a house in the UK in June 2010 was £166,072. This was a 0.1 per cent increase on the previous month and 8.4 per cent higher than June 2009. With house prices seemingly on the rise, perhaps this could be even more of an incentive to look at flats to rent in the London borough of Ealing.
To enable residents to get into the centre of London, the borough of Ealing is serviced by three Tube lines - District, Central and Piccadilly. These cover the length of the area, stopping at Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common and South Ealing. A Tube ride takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes, meaning it is an easy commute for city workers.
Alternatively, there are bus links into the capital, while the Tube stops, which are located in zone three, are not far from Heathrow Airport for any holidaymakers living in flats to rent in Ealing.
For those who prefer to drive, it is a manageable 25 minute journey into the centre of London by car.
Entertainment and local amenities
In keeping with its suburban style, Ealing has a lot to offer people renting properties in the area by way of shops, schools and entertainment. Along Broadway, fashionistas can find an abundance of stores, from well-known names in the large malls to smaller, trendy boutiques.
Children of a primary and secondary school age are catered for, while both the locals and newcomers to the area are friendly and welcoming, with a diverse mix of cultures represented.
For those looking at properties to rent in West London, Ealing could be the ideal location.

1. Preparation of Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been either condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial position. Operating results for the interim periods reported herein may not be indicative of the results expected for the year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Property, Plant and Equipment
3. Income taxes
During the six months of 2012, we utilized $39.4 million of our net operating loss carry forwards against the income recognized by proceeds from the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act distributed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in April of this year (see Note 8). The income tax expense recognized during the three and six month periods is primarily generated from the federal alternative minimum tax. The alternative minimum tax limits our ability to offset income generated during the period with net operating loss carry forwards. During the six months of 2012, we reduced our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets from $11.4 million to $3.2 million at June 30, 2012.
We maintain a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that currently exceed our deferred tax liabilities. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Our results over the most recent three-year period were heavily affected by our business restructuring activities. Our cumulative operating losses in the most recent three-year period, in our view, represented sufficient negative evidence to require a valuation allowance under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient evidence exists to support its reversal. Although realization is not assured, we have concluded that the remaining net deferred tax asset in the amount of $528,000 will be realized based on the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities. The amount of the deferred tax assets actually realized, however, could vary if there are differences in the timing or amount of future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities. Should we determine that we will not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset will be charged to income in the period such determination is made.
4. Employee Benefit Plans
Components of other postretirement benefit cost:
5. Stockholders' Equity
Basic earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average shares outstanding. Outstanding stock options and restricted stock are treated as potential common stock for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using the following share data:
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, approximately 700,000 stock options were excluded from the diluted per share calculation as they would be anti-dilutive. During the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2011, the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is not recognized since we have a net operating loss for those periods. Approximately 1.4 million shares in 2011 were issuable upon the exercise of stock options. No restricted stock was available for inclusion in the diluted per share calculation for the respective 2011 periods.
A reconciliation of the activity in Stockholders' Equity accounts for the first half of 2012 is as follows:
6. Restructuring and Related Charges
In 2010, we completed a major restructuring plan that ceased all production at our Stanleytown, Virginia manufacturing facility, however, we continued to use a portion of this facility for warehousing and distribution. In 2011, we evaluated our overall warehousing and distribution requirements for our Stanley Furniture product line and concluded only a portion of the leased warehouse space in Stanleytown, Virginia would be required. Therefore, a restructuring charge against future lease obligations of $499,000 was taken in 2011 for the portion of the Stanleytown warehouse facility no longer in use as of December 31, 2011.
In the second quarter of 2012, we further reduced our required warehouse space at our Stanleytown, Virginia leased facility and recorded an additional restructuring charge against future lease obligations of $418,000 for the additional space no longer being utilized. As of June 30, 2012, we are utilizing approximately 50% of the leased facility in Stanleytown, Virginia.
Restructuring accrual activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was as follows:
Restructuring accrual activity for the six months ended July 2, 2011 was as follows:
The restructuring accrual for severance and other employee termination costs as well as other costs is classified as "Other accrued expenses".
7. Commitments and Contingencies
During the first quarter of 2012, we entered into a lease agreement for a new corporate office and showroom location that will allow for the consolidation of our corporate offices and our High Point Market showroom into a single multi-purpose facility in High Point, North Carolina. In addition, we entered into a lease agreement to open a new showroom within the Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center Las Vegas in January 2013. With the addition of these leases, our future minimum operating lease payments will be $1.5 million in 2013 and 2014, $1.6 million in 2015, $1.2 million in 2016, $800,000 in 2017 and $3.7 million thereafter.
8. Income from Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA)
We recorded income of $39.4 million, net of related expenses, in the second quarter of 2012 from CDSOA distributions previously withheld by Customs pending resolution of non-supporting producers' claims seeking to share in these distributions. Although these claims have not been completely resolved by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Customs distributed the holdback to the supporting producers in April of 2012. Based on what we know today, we believe there is only a remote possibility that Customs will seek and be entitled to a return of all or a portion of our share of the distributed funds.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items included in the Consolidated Statements of Income:
Net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 decreased $3.0 million, or 10.8%, from the comparable 2011 period. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, net sales decreased $2.8 million, or 5.1% from the comparable 2011 six month period. The decreases to the comparable prior year periods were primarily due to lower unit volume on our Young America product line. We attribute the lower unit volume to lost sales resulting from the conversion of the entire product line to a newly enhanced design and construction method. This conversion of our product line is expected to be largely complete as we exit the third quarter of 2012.
Gross profit for the current three month period was $3.1 million, or 12.6% of net sales. Gross profit decreased from $3.6 million, or 13.2% of net sales, from the comparable three month period of 2011. Gross profit for the first half of 2012 increased to $6.7 million, or 13.0% of net sales, from $5.3 million, or 9.8% of net sales, for the comparable six months of 2011. The current three and six month periods include restructuring related charges of $474,000. The comparable prior year three month period included a reversal of restructuring charges of $277,000, and the comparable prior year six month period included net restructuring charges of $491,000. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements for further details on restructuring and related charges. The increased restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 was offset by improved operating efficiencies and lower cost structure in the manufacturing of our Young America product line. The gross profit improvement for the six month comparison resulted from the lower fixed cost burden on the Stanley Furniture product line as it continued the transition to a fully sourced offshore model in the first half of 2011 combined with the continued improvement in operating efficiencies in the manufacturing of our Young America product line.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods of 2012 as a percentage of net sales were 18.4% and 17.7%, respectively, compared to 17.3% and 18.3% for the comparable 2011 periods. The higher percentage in the current three month period is a result of lower sales. The lower percentage in the current six month period is a result of the reduction in spending on marketing and advertising costs when compared to the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods decreased $264,000 and $804,000, respectively, compared to the 2011 periods.
As a result, operating loss as a percentage of net sales was 5.8% and 4.7% for the three and six month periods of 2012 compared to 4.1% and 8.5% for the comparable 2011 periods.
During the current three month period we recorded income, net of expenses, of $39.4 million from the receipt of funds under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA). In the comparable 2011 three month period we recorded income of $1.1 million related to proceeds received from the CDSOA.
Our effective tax rate for the current three and six months is essentially zero since we have established a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in excess of our deferred tax liabilities. The expense in the current period is primarily the result of federal alternative minimum tax on the receipt of proceeds from the CDSOA distributed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in April of this year. Federal alternative minimum tax regulations limit the ability to offset all of the income generated in the period with net operating loss carry forwards. With the exception of this tax event, we expect our rate to continue at essentially zero for the remainder of the year.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of liquidity include cash on hand and cash generated from operations. We expect these sources of liquidity to be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2012 cash was $47.4 million including $1.6 million of restricted cash and $20.0 million of short-term investments.
Working capital, excluding cash, restricted cash and short-term investments, increased during the first six months of 2012 to $29.8 million from $28.8 million on December 31, 2011. The increase was largely the result of a reduction in accounts payable as we paid for finished goods in-transit from overseas suppliers at the end of 2011.
Cash provided by operations was $31.8 million for the six months of 2012 compared to a use of $4.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The cash provided by operations was the result of the receipt of $39.9 million in proceeds from the CDSOA. In the prior year, we received $1.1 million in CDSOA proceeds. In the current year, we paid income taxes of $728,000, largely driven by the income related to the CDSOA proceeds while we received $3.0 million in income tax refunds in the prior year period as the result of net operating losses carried back to prior years. The remaining improvement in cash provided from operations was the result of lower fixed cost to support our Stanley Furniture product line and operating improvements at our Young America manufacturing facility.
Net cash used by investing activities was $23.9 million in the six months of 2012 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $600,000 in the comparable prior year period. During the first six months of 2012, we invested $20.0 million of our CDSOA proceeds in short-term investments. In addition, we invested $2.6 million in capital expenditures as part of the modernization of our Young America manufacturing operation in Robbinsville, North Carolina and $1.3 million as part of our investment in improved systems. Cash provided in the prior year period was driven by proceeds of $1.5 million from sale of assets, partially offset by $834,000 in normal capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2012 are anticipated to be $2.0 million in support of the strategic investment in our Young America manufacturing facility. The $1.3 million spent in the first six months of 2012 for our investment in new systems is a part of an estimated $3.0 million total investment through the end of 2013. We anticipate spending an additional $1.0 million in 2012 and the remaining $700,000 in 2013.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.2 million in the current six months of 2012 compared to $2.1 million in the prior year period. In both years, cash was provided from loans against the cash surrender value of insurance policies. These proceeds were used to pay interest due on outstanding policy loans which is shown as a use of cash in operating activities.
In 2011, we evaluated our overall warehousing and distribution requirements for our Stanley Furniture product line and concluded that a distribution warehouse in Asia combined with our Martinsville, Virginia warehouse would have adequate space to service our Stanley Furniture product line. In 2011 we began to reduce our usage of the leased facility at Stanleytown, Virginia and took a restructuring charge of $499,000 against future lease payments. During the second quarter of 2012, we further reduced our dependence on the Stanleytown warehouse and took an additional restructuring charge of $474,000.
In the first quarter of 2012, we entered into a lease agreement for a new corporate office and showroom location that will allow for the consolidation of our corporate offices and our High Point Market showroom into a single location in High Point, North Carolina. As a result of this consolidation, we expect to record between $500,000 and $750,000 in restructuring charges for severance and relocation cost in the second half of 2012 and first part of 2013. In addition, we entered into a lease agreement to open a new showroom within the Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center Las Vegas in January 2013. With the addition of these leases, our future minimum operating lease payments will be $1.5 million in 2013 and 2014, $1.6 million in 2015, $1.2 million in 2016, $800,000 in 2017 and $3.7 million thereafter.
Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act ("CDSOA")
The CDSOA provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("Customs") for imports covered by antidumping duty orders entering the United States through September 30, 2007 to eligible domestic producers that supported a successful antidumping petition ("Supporting Producers") for wooden Bedroom furniture imported from China. Antidumping duties for merchandise entering the U.S. after September 30, 2007 remain with the U.S. Treasury.
Certain manufacturers who did not support the antidumping petition ("Non-Supporting Producers") filed actions in the United States Court of International Trade, challenging the CDSOA's "support requirement" and seeking to share in the distributions. As a result, Customs held back a portion of those distributions (the "Holdback") pending resolution of the Non-Supporting Producers' claims. The Court of International Trade dismissed all of the actions of the Non-Supporting Producers, who appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Customs advised that it expected to distribute the Holdback to the Supporting Producers after March 9, 2012. The Non-Supporting Producers sought injunctions first from the Court of International Trade and, when those efforts were unsuccessful, from the Federal Circuit directing Customs to retain the Holdback until the Non-Supporting Producers' appeals were resolved.
On March 5, 2012, the Federal Circuit denied the motions for injunction, "without prejudicing the ultimate disposition of these cases." As a result, we received a CDSOA distribution of $39.9 million in April 2012. If the Federal Circuit were to reverse the decisions of the Court of International Trade and to determine that the Non-Supporting Producers were entitled to CDSOA distributions, it is possible that Customs may seek to have us return all or a portion of our company's share of the Holdback. Based on what we know today, we believe that the chance Customs will seek and be entitled to obtain a return is remote. We recorded income, net of expenses, of $39.4 million in April 2012 as a result of the receipt of these funds.
In addition, according to Customs, as of October 1, 2011, approximately $9.1 million in duties had been secured by cash deposits and bonds on unliquidated entries of wooden bedroom furniture that are subject to the CDSOA, and this amount is potentially available for distribution under the CDSOA to eligible domestic producers in connection with the case involving wooden bedroom furniture imported from China. The amount ultimately distributed will be impacted by appeals concerning the results of the annual administrative review process, which can retroactively increase or decrease the actual duties owed on entries secured by cash deposits and bonds, by collection efforts concerning duties that may be owed, and by any applicable legislation and Custom's interpretation of that legislation. Assuming that such funds are distributed and that our percentage allocation in future years is the same as it was for the 2011 distribution (approximately 30% of the funds distributed) and the $9.1 million collected by the government as of October 1, 2011 does not change as a result of the annual administrative review process or otherwise, we could receive approximately $2.7 million in CDSOA funds.
Recently, Customs disclosed that as of April 30, 2012, $1.8 million in collected duties was potentially available for distribution in 2012 to eligible domestic manufactures of wooden bedroom furniture. Customs noted that the final amounts available for distribution in 2012 could be higher or lower than the preliminary amounts due to liquidations, re-liquidations, protests, or other events affecting entries. This amount, at least in part, may have come from the security held by Customs as of October 1, 2010, but Customs has not updated the amount of duties that remain secured by cash deposits and bonds on un-liquidated entries of wooden bedroom furniture. Assuming our percentage allocation in 2012 is the same as it was for the 2011 distributions and the 2012 preliminary CDSOA amount does not change, we expect to receive approximately $500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Due to the uncertainty of the various legal and administrative processes, we cannot provide assurances as to the amount of additional CDSOA funds that ultimately will be received, if any, and we cannot predict when we may receive any additional CDSOA funds.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as noted below.
Cash and equivalents – We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily in bank deposits, money market funds and certificate of deposits.
Short-term investments – We consider investments with maturities of greater than three months and less than one year at the time of purchase as short-term investments. Our investments are in certificates of deposits, which we intend to hold until maturity. We report the investments at cost with earnings recognized through interest income.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this report are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "estimates," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "could", or "anticipates," or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. These statements reflect our reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include our success in profitably producing Young America products in our domestic manufacturing facility, disruptions in foreign sourcing including those arising from supply or distribution disruptions or those arising from changes in political, economic and social conditions, as well as laws and regulations, in countries from which we source products, international trade policies of the United States and countries from which we source products, lower sales due to worsening of current economic conditions, the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, business failures or loss of large customers, the inability to raise prices in response to inflation and increasing costs, failure to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer tastes and fashions in a timely manner, competition in the furniture industry including competition from lower-cost foreign manufacturers, the inability to obtain sufficient quantities of quality raw materials in a timely manner, environmental, health, and safety compliance costs, failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure, limited use of operating loss carry forwards due to ownership change extended business interruption at our manufacturing facility, and the possibility that U.S. Customes and Border Protection may seek return of all or a portion of the CDSOA proceeds received in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, we have made certain forward looking statements with respect to payments we expect to receive under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act, which are subject to the risks and uncertainties described in our discussion of those payments that may cause the actual payments to be subject to claims for recovery or to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this filing, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
None of our foreign sales or purchases are denominated in foreign currency and we do not have any foreign currency hedging transactions. While our foreign purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars, a relative decline in the value of the U.S. dollar could result in an increase in the cost of our products obtained from offshore sourcing and reduce our earnings or increase our losses, unless we are able to increase our prices for these items to reflect any such increased cost.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 6. Exhibits

(2) Under Rule 406T of Regulation S-T, this exhibit is deemed not filed or part of a registration statement or prospectus for purposes of Sections 11 or 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is deemed not filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and otherwise is not subject to liability under those sections.

Claire Graham, an eighth-grader at Mooresville Middle School, was named the Mooresville Graded School District's Artist of the Month for this portrait.
She also received a mention by her teacher for completing the project despite breaking her right arm during a cheerleading tumbling exercise. She finished the work by using her left hand, even though she does everything right-handed.
Claire, of Mooresville, said she was only halfway through the portrait when the accident occurred. She said she never considered abandoning the project. "I love drawing," she said, adding that she's always focused on her grades and finishing her work.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. His real name is Bruce Stinson, he was employed by Operation Knightstrike with Al Simmons. Chapel would later murder his teammate. Chapel was injected with several chemicals giving him superhuman abilities. What he didn't know is that he was injected with the HIV virus, at the will of his superiors. Chapel was contracted by Jason Wynn to kill Spawn. His face is covered by a skull which was painted at first but after his encounter with Spawn the tattoo became permanent as it were his bones marked by the hand of spawn.He later joined the Youngbloods. Chapel uses lots of various weapons, from guns to swords, and he is a formidable fighter.During the extreme sacrifice saga he killed himself after chasing spawn as to become Lord Chapel, working for the devil and willing to destroy youngblood and his old teammates. After being separated from his Hellish counterpart Lord Chapel, he was returned to Earth as a woman, then turned back into a man. He has teamed up with Spawn to fight his other.apparently killed during this saga he never resurfaced since, but who knows...Other mediaTodd McFarlane's SpawnChapel appeared in the HBO miniseries, he was voiced by Ruben Santiago-Hudson.Chapel (called Jess Chapel) is a soldier who was trained by Al Simmons himself. After his training with Simmons, Chapel was ordered to kill Simmons by Jason Wynn. Though Simmons considered Chapel a friend, Chapel didn't feel the same way; he despised Simmons for his high capabilities and attention he got for taking a bullet for the President of the United States. Using a flamethrower, Chapel torched Simmons body. Simmons was given a hero's burial back in the States and Chapel went underground.Jason Wynn brought Chapel back when some new guy was taking out Wynn's men and stealing his weapons. Chapel eventually found the source in the alleys of Rat City. He confronted Spawn with every rocket launcher and machine gun he had, but there was no way to kill someone already dead. Not accepting that Al Simmons was really back from the dead, Chapel's mind slowly started to unravel and he was picked up the Police. With no fingerprints or any way of telling who he was, the Police were baffled as to who it was.Max "Twitch" Williams questioned Chapel about Al Simmons, which led Twitch closer to the man behind all the recent alley murders. Chapel is still in police custody.

Was it really a castle?
I remember from my youth a big dark ruin of a building known locally as Bonhard Castle, at top end of the Red Brae. Was it actually a castle?… 6 Comments
Jim Smellie... ever heard of him?
Probably not but maybe if he was a football player or golfer he would be a local hero but as it is he is a relatively quiet man but who has a long history in Scottish cycling.
Jim Smellie now 64 was in his day 11 times Scottish Cycling Champion in time trial, team time trial and represented Scotland in various races of the day including the Milk Race series to name but a few.
He raced against many big European names in British events held up and down the country and could have gone on to bigger and better things if circumstances had been different.
I am in the process of correlating all the old clippings, photos and medals that he has tucked away in a bag in a cupboard for no-one to see. There are also a couple of trophies in the Kinneil Museum from past races.
He has one trophy relating to the Bo'ness Hill Climb event which went up the Croyett as the cars used to do and he was the last cyclist to win the trophy before this sprint race became another past time resigned to the history books.
This is just a wee taster of what is to come as I have so much to write and I think that this will be the first instalment of many.

Swisher Announces Results For The Three And Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Total costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by 7% to $138.6 million, compared to $148.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. Excluding $7.1 million of impairment, non-routine professional fees and investigation and review-related expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $11.4 million of investigation and review-related expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2012, total costs and expenses decreased 4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively:
|Cost of sales as a % of revenue
|Route expense as a % of revenue
|SG&A expense as a % of revenue
|SG&A expense (excluding unusual expenses) as a % of revenue
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue slightly declined from the prior-year period. The increase in route and SG&A expenses (excluding investigation and review-related expenses) as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects the decline in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the prior-year period.
Net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $32.1 million, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $31.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012.Adjusted EBITDA loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $11.0 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cash and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2013, Swisher had $44.6 million of cash on its balance sheet and $10.3 million in outstanding debt, compared to $61.4 million in cash and $14.4 million in outstanding debt as of December 31, 2012. The $16.8 million decline in cash is primarily attributable to cash used in operating activities of continued operations of $13.8 million (including unusual fees related to the review and investigation of $4.4 million), net debt repayments of $4.1 million and property and equipment purchases of $8.5 million, and partially offset with the $12.5 million receivable collected from the sale of discontinued operations before deducting the cash used in discontinued operations in 2013.
