5 key elements RadioShack outlined for its future
- Danielle Abril
- Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
With losses mounting to $98.3 million in its first quarter, RadioShack Corp. is working to tinker its brand back to profitability before it runs out of cash.
"We recognize the significant challenge we still face," said CEO Joseph Magnacca, adding that the retailer is working on all avenues to position itself for the future. "Our entire team is focused on executing our vision, adapting to the environment, managing our balance sheet and driving sustainable change."
Here are five key elements to the turnaround strategy Magnacca and his team discussed during the first-quarter earnings call.
Timeline: RadioShack has enough liquidity to continue its turnaround plan for the next 12 months, CFO John Feray said. The retailer ended the quarter with $423.7 million in liquidity and a total debt of $614.5 million. The company has $361.9 million available under its new credit facility with outstanding borrowing of $35 million.
Cost reductions: Magnacca said RadioShack is reviewing all costs that do not impact the customer as it considers future cuts. Cuts will include jobs at the corporate headquarters in Fort Worth, working with landlords to lower rent, reducing compensation costs by altering labor and hours, marketing expenses and consolidation of certain operations, Feray said.
"We're focused on every dollar that does not affect the customer experience," he said.
It's also continuing to work with its lenders to close the 1,100 stores it initially announced earlier this year. After the lenders and company couldn't come to agreeable terms, RadioShack has moved forward with closing just 200 stores at a time, a move it can make without lender approval.
"We can achieve a good portion of our objective, just over a longer time frame," Feray said, adding that it continues to negotiate with lenders.
Reinvigorating product assortment and stores: The electronics retailer plans to refresh 30 to 40 percent of its product assortment, transitioning less productive inventory out while it brings in some of its newer offerings. In July, it expects to bring in the first products that were a result of its recent relationship with PHC International, which will help startups such as littleBits sell its products in RadioShack's stores. It's also leveraging its relationship with Quirky, which works with inventors to bring products to market. Four toys, including smart control vehicles that break apart on impact, and a smart-control submarine are some of the first products that resulted in a Quirky smart toy challenge.
The retailer is also rebuilding and re-establishing some of its private brands. It expects to bring some of the new product into stores in the second quarter with the majority of it hitting stores in the third quarter.
Among its private brands its strengthening some of its national brands, too, although being selective in the process, executives said. RadioShack has become a top five retailer for Apple, for example, as it continues to grow its Apple branded products, including the accessories it added a year ago.
RadioShack is also amid remodeling 100 stores to implement some of the most successful elements from its concept stores that launched last year. Magnacca said the retailer is also looking to develop a connection home section of the store, an area for wearable technology and another area for 3D printing.
Carrier partnerships: RadioShack has struggled in mobility, which as a category has shown soft performance recently. The company is working with carriers to bring some of the newest plans into its stores and allow customers to get upgrades prior to the end of their two-year contracts. It already has launched Sprint's Easy Pay and Framily plans, and today is launching a plan with Verizon. But carriers' battle for one another's customers has presented an IT integration challenge for RadioShack, which is working to keep up with the latest plans and promotions that the carriers offer in their stores.
"The carriers are in a battle amongst themselves; they are in a price war," Feray said. "They are reacting to their competitive environment immediately."
Services: The retailer is looking to beef up its services. It has been piloting its Fix it Here program, which offers in-house repair services for smartphones and tablets. The program is meant to provide shoppers with associates who can help them with hardware and software issues. It's available in 300 stores, and Magnacca said he expects to implement it into 700 this year.
RadioShack is working to strengthen the service provided by its associates, one of the major components on which RadioShack prides itself. In April, it rolled out its RS Connect platform, which allows associates to connect to each other, management and training resources. It also allows management and operators to easily identify and retrieve information about problems within the store.

I have a Datagrid that has for instance 5 columns. The Datagrid is within a Grid that is not wide enough (ie that does not allow all the Datagrid columns to show, for instance 3 columns and a horizontal scrollbar).
I would like to be able to work out the size that the Datagrid would be in the situation that there IS enough space and hence no scrollbars. Its like the 'scrollable' area I suppose, ie the full extreme of the horizontal scrollbar.
This is so that I can add a gridsplitter to the grid (in the a second column to the right) that is restricted to go only to the width of the DataGrid and no more.
I hope this makes some sense, any thoughts greatly appreciated

Heading for a Stop Light
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Dear Bob,
Quite often I have arguments with my children about driving habits. When I am driving the car, if I see a red signal from a distance, I put the vehicle in neutral gear and let the car come to near stop before the signal. This gives me some time to reach the signal and come to a gradual stop. I prefer to use as little braking as possible. I do not switch off the engine.
My children, however, prefer to go almost full speed right up to the signal, brake and switch off the engine. They restart the engine when the signal turns green. My view is that my method of driving is better than theirs because there is less wear on the car system. Also restarting the car every now and then is strain on the battery.
Switching off the engine like that is the exact worse thing to do. The next worse thing to do is put the car in neutral. You see, by turning off the motor and then restarting it like that, you are creating havoc in the cooling system. My bet is that car will not last very long.
Now, about your transmission, is this an automatic or a manual? If an automatic, you are doing more harm than good by putting the car in neutral. You see, the pump stops spinning, and stops lubricating the transmission, however, you are still rolling. If this is a manual transmission, then that is okay, because it is designed to do that. Also, remember that brakes are cheaper to replace than a clutch.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

HE IS ALWAYS WATCHING! by TraumaticRecovery
©2012-2015 TraumaticRecovery
Deviant Art
Fading Away *Part 5A shadow of a girl passed across Kyle's vision. "Who are you?" he whispered. The shadow stopped and came close. "I am a prisoner," she said. She put her face next to him and said, "A prisoner of your mind." She faded away. Kyle just stood there in shock. He called out again, "Who are you?" She faded back into existence. "I said I am a prisoner... of your mind." She pushed back into the shadows. "What do I have to do....?" She put her mouth to his ear and whispered, "You must let go....." With that, she stepped into the shadows behind her. Kyle watched as she moved as fluid as air back into the building.
* * *
Kyle was jerked back by a push to the ground. He opened his eyes to darkness. He put his hand to his forehead and it felt warm and sticky. He put his hand then to his lips and tasted it. It was blood. "Where am I?" he whispered to himself. "You are not alone," a voice said to him. That sounds like the girl f
StrugglesBroken down on the side of the road
People just stare
waiting and watching to see if she will get up
To see if she will come out of the flames
to see if she will come back to those who love her
She fades into the background
she disappears
no one notices
that she's gone
No one lends a hand to her,
no one says a word
they just sit and laugh at her struggle
No one cares about anyone but themselves anymore.
No one says just the simplest "Hello"
No one hugs their friends
No one likes the emo kids. >w<
Everyone lets the world rot, while they take advantage of other people. :/
Our world, is a cruel one,
So, be the one person who has the audacity to help the weak,
and make them strong.
To be nice to those who are in pain,
so they can recover.
Be, like the many others out there who are making a difference.
Stop hiding in the shadows because we are one.
I Am Young, I Know That Already. Yes, as I stated in the title, I am young. I do not need to be reminded.
In my bodily form, I am a fourteen year old girl who is severely depressed and suicidal. Yes, I know I have several mental diseases. I know, I don't need to be reminded by all of the stares and weird looks given to me when I walk down the street. I know, I look odd. I know, I talk weird. I know, most times I have an accent. Not a "Californian accent." No, I don't wish to use a fake voice for you. I don't think it is necessary. Just look at me like I'm a freak. Just like everybody else. Everybody judges me for what I look like. :/ What I wear, how much make up I put on, if I'm wearing Hollister or Abercrombie. I don't care. Don't you see? I don't wear all of those name brand clothes. I prefer clothes that are from Target or Kohl's. In reality, life is not a popularity contest. It's whether you can make it. Whether you can weather the storm, the hardships life throws at you. All o
Fading Away *Part 4The Next Day:
"Uh, Lily?"
"Do you, uh, do you think we should go st-steal some more food today?"
She glanced around the apartment. "No, I think we've got enough for today, Kyle."
"Well, then should we go and, uh," he pulled on the collar of his shirt, "go, uh, you know?"
"What do you mean? Go and murder some more Facility workers?"
"Uh, yeah. That's what I was talking about."
"Oh, yeah, well, we could. I don't think we should just yet. Today we should just mull around the apartment. The Enforcers will be patrolling more today because of our kill yesterday. We should just lay low."
"Oh. I'm just, uh, going to go for a walk around Raxley. I swear I won't go into Brothell or Ashwood. You have my word."
"Okay then. Just don't get yourself killed. That's all I ask of you."
RidculousnessI feel as if I'm walking around in a clown costume.
Life is just a sham.
That's all it's been to me.
Just hiding from others,
not speaking in case I screw up,
doing nothing to help myself.
I can change that.
I'm always walking around in clown shoes.
I'm never the right size to fit into my skin.
I've always been shunned from getting out of the costume.
This time, I'm choosing.
This time, I'm breaking free of these chains that hold me down.
This time, I shall conquer my fears and anxieties.
This time, I will live the way I want to.
FloatingFelling like I'm floating
I've disappeared
I dont think you can hear me
Even though I'm screaming your name
I cant stop falling for you
I cant stop remebering what i did for you
I cant stop thinkgin about you
Unnoticed: StrangersThe shadow drifted silently,
Floating around and around.
Alone and feared by most,
It waited for the girl who would never come back.
Its head hung low, its movements slow
Its only words a moan.
Its grief was overpowering
For she died a long while ago.
It frequently watches,
Through the window hoping to play
With the ones who live there happily.
It waits for the first one,
The brave girl who came forward.
Its playmate who shall never return.

This app is not self-contained. To be able to use mysms mirror, you have to have the regular mysms phone app installed on your other Android smartphone.
We'd love to hear from you! Do you have a suggestion, question or comment? Visit our support page at http://support.mysms.com.
Most phone manufacturers (Samsung, HTC, LG, etc.) build their own messaging apps with brand specific user interfaces. The Nexus 5 has also removed Messaging and now includes Google Hangouts instead. Installing this app allows all Android 4.1+ owners to use the classic SMS/MMS app from Google.
This re-compiled version is maintained by SoftCoil Development for the benefit of the community. Please report any issues so that we can resolve them quickly. (Note that MMS may not work on your 4.2 device until we have fixed an OS bug. We are working on it though. :-) )
IMPORTANT Note For Moto G and Moto E Users: If you disable the default messaging app that comes with your phone in System -> Apps no other SMS messaging apps will work. You need to leave the messaging app that came with your phone installed and active for other messaging apps to work or you will experience errors sending and receiving messages.
We're always excited to hear from our users. Please send us feedback through our websites if you run into any issues so we can fix them ASAP.
Also, check out our other SMS app (Chattr) for free messaging with your friends!
Real-Time GPS Tracker
Attention: Greenalp has released a newer version for phones running Android 4 or higher. Real-Time GPS Tracker (RTT2) is available now and provides even more features than this app. You can download RTT2 from the Google Play Store (search for "RTT2").
Show your exact location to your family and friends on Google Maps for free. This is more than a GPS Tracker, this is real live tracking for location sharing.
You can also see your friends' location but they need to run this app.
How to get started? Try the 1-minute help videos:
Some Galaxy S5 users seem to have a problem finding the menu key: The menu button is that dual square icon in the bottom left corner of the S5. Pressing it once beings up the list of current running apps. Holding it down will take you to the menu of the current app you are running.
Examples this app can be used for:
- Show your outdoor trip live to your family & friends. They can track you in real-time while your are running, hiking, biking, paragliding, or just traveling by train or car.
- Track your family & friends. Ask them to install this app and you can track each other in real-time.
- Latitude replacement: the default configuration needs more battery. If you want to save battery just increase the update interval or use cell tower locations instead of GPS. Support is available in the forum.
- Embed your map into your website or blog.
- Track your dog: Why buying expensive pet trackers? Use a cheap Android phone and put it on your dog. You can see your dog's location on the map in real-time.
Supported features:
- Provides details like speed, elevation, battery level, etc. Just click the icons on the map.
- Send messages to your friends or to the viewers on the website
- Supports Google Maps and OpenStreetMap
- Supports map integration in your private homepage
- Supports autostart
- Supports remote start via text message (SMS) or just via the web portal http://www.greenalp.com . Great for battery saving.
- Supports various remote commands you can send via web portal. Ideal for tracking your children or your pets.
- Support up to two KML layers.
- Supports control via location aware apps (as for example Llama)
- Supports an ad-free version. Push your phone's menu key and tap on "more".
Because of those many features the app requires several permissions. If you would like to know
why it needs these permissions please read this:
This app is not designed to track people without their agreement. If the tracker is running it will always show an icon in the status bar. Please don't send requests to hide the icon. The icon will stay visible for security reasons.
In case of problems please leave a message on my homepage, I will support you there. If you like my application I would feel very happy about positive ratings. Thanks.

SMS from Android 4.1
UPDATES: You may have noticed I haven't updated this for ages. Sorry. I bought a Nexus 4 and so I don't need this any more and don't have motivation to update it. A possible alternative is TextSecure which is free and based on the same code as this, plus it encrypts your texts!
This is the stock messaging (SMS & MMS) app from Android 4.1 Jellybean! The biggest improvements Google made in Jellybean are a new widget, photos in the notifications and a better recipient interface.
Remember to disable your existing SMS app's notifications or you will get two notifications for each message.
Please test the app to make sure it can send and receive messages correctly before relying on it! Test it a lot! Also if you are upgrading from the ICS version, PLEASE read the recent changes.
If you appreciate this and my other totally free stock apps, consider sending me some money (via paypal)! I'm poor and hungry and it takes a long time to do this!
* Some incomplete phone numbers in the ComposeMessageActivity are deleted when you go to enter the message. I found the cause of this but there is not much I can do.
* Contact photos may not sync properly. According to one user this is expected behaviour and it is basically Facebook's fault.
* Widget is flickery when it loads. I looked into it. Can't find problem; may be Samsung's bug since it doesn't happen in emulator.
* Widget "Show more conversations" button goes to the compose message activity instead of the message list. This is very weird.
* SMS notifications might be unreliable for you. Test it a lot!
* MMS doesn't work at all right now.
TextSecure Private Messenger
Using TextSecure, you can communicate instantly while avoiding SMS fees, create groups so that you can chat in real time with all your friends at once, and share media or attachments all with complete privacy. The server never has access to any of your communication and never stores any of your data.
★ Private. TextSecure uses an advanced end to end encryption protocol that provides privacy for every message every time.
★ Open Source. TextSecure is Free and Open Source, enabling anyone to verify its security by auditing the code. TextSecure is the only private messenger that uses open source peer-reviewed cryptographic protocols to keep your messages safe.
★ Group Chat. TextSecure allows you to create encrypted groups so you can have private conversations with all your friends at once. Not only are the messages encrypted, but the TextSecure server never has access to any group metadata such as the membership list, group title, or group icon.
★ Fast. The TextSecure protocol is designed to operate in the most constrained environment possible. Using TextSecure, messages are instantly delivered to friends.
TextSecure is not currently compatible with tablets, but support for larger screens is on our roadmap and will be included in a future release!
Please file any bugs, issues, or feature requests at:
More details:

Thanks for your responses and votes, I appreciate them all (even constructive negative ones).

Find Phone Email Address
Once you know your phone's special email address, your friends can text you simply by sending email to it.
Not all cell operators offer this feature, but some do and forget to tell you about it! With this app you can find out if you have this feature, and what your phone's email address is.
Friends Don't
FriendsDont works differently from all the other safe-texting apps. Instead of blocking your outgoing texts when you're driving, it texts the person you are texting and asks that you not text back. It'll also tell your friend if you are on a handsfree device, so they can call you safely.
In the US, 40 states ban texting while driving.
In New Jersey, you could be liable if you knowingly text someone who is driving ["http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/29/us/new-jersey-texting-crash-sender-liable/index.html"]
Don't become a statistic -- stop texting while driving today!
SEO: safe texting, text and drive, text safely, it can wait, no texting while driving

Customer Reviews of Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age Begin8/30/2013
Be aware that this game is not for kids. It's a mature game with some disturbing subject matter, that's why Bioware calls it a "dark fantasy." Kudos to Bioware for aiming for a serious game, but know what you're buying before putting it on the holiday gift list for your little ones. (Wait until after they're in bed and have an epic time playing it yourself). you will like the game
good RPG4/1/2013
I have played 100 hours, beaten the game twice, tried three of the six origin stories, watched every sex scene, won every topless hottie boss battle, & found "teh secret nipplz." Personally, I feel this is the best Bioware game to date, the best written video game of all time, and a genuine evolution of the Bioware formula. For those of you fleeing in terror from Adult Content, know that, like in real life, bisexual dwarf sex is awkward, optional, & over in less than a minute.

Acer H6510BD Home Theater Projector Review
Acer H6510BD Projector - Warranty
Acer provides a 1 year parts and labor warranty on the H6510 projector. That is typical for under $1000 projectors although there are a few with two years and even three year warranties out there, for those concerned.
An extended warranty, or purchasing your projector with a credit card that offers an extended warranty is worth considering. Figuring prices drop significantly ever two years, with better gear for less, the trick is not to get hit with a repair bill in your first two years. I have an American Express card that adds a year, which would work great for me.
It's your call. Ultimately projectors are pretty darn reliable, especially a 2nd generation model like the H6510, who's hardware is basically the same as last year's H6500 projector.
I don't have much I can comment on regarding Acer support and service, but when Acer launched the H9500BD last year, with some quirky firmware, they came through with a fix in a reasonable timeframe, more than many can claim.
Bottom line on warranty – has a typical 1 year parts and labor – acceptable, but nothing to write home about.

Stendra should be the outright, bonafide, 100% PREFERRED CHOICE for ED WORLDWIDE. What the heck is going on?!?!?!?! imo, jmho, j/k, lol...c'mon, guys!!!!!!
my guess is continued concentration on Europe, as the reimbursement picture is much more clear over there...but, jmo.
wally (how many other "wally's" do you know...?) - only losers troll msg boards attempting to engage other posters in delinquent conversation. you're obviously hoping Taser stops getting the big contracts, which is futile. Rick & Co just need to control costs, and more revenue will post to the bottom line; it's easy to tweak expenses. for now I'll tolerate your "rudeness", since you're not making money from TASR, but you really should do a "gut-check" (maybe the wrong terminology for a beer-guzzlin' #$%$) before posting again.
market's down; $26 by Friday.
actually, it'll be great for TASR...another 1500+ camera announcement today.
1400+ is not DGLY order - and EVIDENCEDOTCOM for years to come...glad I got more at 22.88...
reducing outstanding shares is one of the best strategies for securing long-term value. look it up.
lol...all the cliches, and probably doesn't own one share...
I'd take any order above 500 units and announce it to shareholders as "relevant" or "material"...lol
thanks for the disclaimer...I almost jumped in. not.
doubt they would go for LTC-type properties, unless they were ALFs...although triple-net leasing is pretty good CF...
and you don't pour any coffee down the drain, wash pots, change filters...AND, you can choose a different flavor for each cup. brilliant invention.
I'm out, and sitting on TASR, bought more on recent earnings dip at 22.88. Now waiting on contract news. I made good $ trading DGLY, which is why I was curious as to whether to play it again. They are not good, imo, with the whole IR/communications thing...most bumps have come on TASR news, so I figured I'd go with the "real thing". Good luck!
just curious..
buy TASR...non-lethal beats the alternative
sounds legit...
kevvy,...poor boy...don't be a pigeon. up from what? Sunday? c'mon...
I joined him.
I skipped it since the "campaign" started...did get a "dozen mixed" at DNKN on Sat tho.

Light good enough for these
Parlor Palm, Spider Plant, ZZ Plant, and Mother in Laws Tongue. will a couple hours of direct afternoon sun hurt them?
I was going to say the same thing as Christine. If there's any problems, it would be with the palm. I might put the Sans in the 'first row' by the window, kinda looks like it's behind the spider.
Interesting pic, I love how only the shapes of the plants are very visible. When I'm sitting on my front porch, I'm always looking at the backs of a lot of leaves, and if it's really bright, just the shapes like in your pic.
Are these all new acquisitions?
Cactus Boss...at first glace your photo reminded me of a silhouette. :)
I agree w/Purple about placing Sans closer to window.
Which direction does the window face?
Your plant window is very nice-looking. Toni

The New Michaels
Was in the store yesterday to take advantage of their 77 cent sale on Americana, out of 30 colors I wanted I came away with 8...not a nice average!
The store has moved the "decorative paints" to the far side of the store where one side of the isle is brands like Americana and Crafters and seems like Fork Art paints and the other side is all Martha Stewart. Very impressive display! They do not offer very many choices of colors, but lots and lots of "tools" Lots of specialty brushes, sponge brushes and tops for their bottle and lots of stencils. The bottles are $2.99 for 2 oz's and the samples look really great (as if they would show a bad sample)
I came away with the impression they were offering a very simple way to add a decorative look to your home, etc. They did have several free projects but they were all using stencils or their spray attachment for spraying large areas. There was no shading or highlighting, and not a lot of information on the basic of what you can do with the paint or if you need to add mediums for different uses, such as glass or metals.
I was not taken with anything, except maybe a stencil or two, but they are still on the shelf.
I guess we now wait and see if the designers switch to the new line and if they do I hope someone comes out with a conversion chart really fast! I don't need another brand of paints taking up space and confusing my already over confused brain!
Hi Belle, I've not been in Michael's for awhile. Keep saying I need to go but also try not to be away from home very long. $2.99 sounds kind of high for 2oz. of paint doesn't it? Especially when you were buying some for 77 cents! LOL
Like you, I really don't need more paints until I use up some I already have on hand.
Maybe I'll get over there this week to take a look.
I for one can never have enough paint and I stockpile it like crazy. :-)
I took advantage of the Ceramcoat clearance at Michael's when I got the e-mail from Delta telling me Michael's would not be carrying it anymore. At .49 a bottle it was hard to resist and I even got some of the 8oz FolkArt for .29! I got extras of some colors I already had but also ended up with several colors I didn't have.
I have no desire to buy Martha Stewart's paints. I am not a fan and just won't go there. I am perfectly happy with my tried and true brands. :-)
Belle, because of my huge stash of paints I would never go out and by yet another brand of paint for a new project's suggested use. I keep such large amounts of Americana, FolkArt, and Ceramcoat paints that I can usually find what I need in what I have. If I don't have a conversion chart, or a color chart with the project that shows me the actual color so I can try and match it by eyesight with what I have, then I just pull out my 3-in-1 Color Tool and either try to find a color that I think may come close or pick a color I like and change the color scheme all together.
One thing I did see in the MS department were lots of stencils, I need to go back and really look at them. I sometimes like to use stencils in the background or where I need to repeat a pattern.
KM...Last year I took a suggestion from Patty Rawlinson and made a color swatch book. I use the baseball sized protector sheets, cut some old index cards to fit and made a card for each color of Americana whether I had it or not. It took time...but was the smartest thing I have done. I also added the shade and highlight color name as well as the conversion color in Cermacoat, which as we all know, may not be even close to the color we need. I do this with my Delta paints as well, especially when on is discontinued.
I enclosed a very bad picture, but you can see how well it works. When I want to create my own colors, I just pull out the chip and compare them as dry colors. I arrange mine alphabetically where as PR does hers by colors.

As a little light science-ish fare for Friday, here's a TED Talk in which David Blaine explains his quest to hold his breath for a really, really long time. He goes through a variety of possible "trick" techniques (none of which worked), and discusses his much-publicized failure to escape from handcuffs during his "Drowned Alive" feat. But then he gets to the interesting stuff -- a seemingly credible story of how he trained to do a sustained breath-hold after breathing pure oxygen. This is a different... READ ON

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a neuroanatomist (or "brain scientist") from Indiana. In 1996 she experienced a major stroke, out of the blue, at age 37. As a scientist deeply involved with brain function, she was ideally situated to understand the stroke as it happened (as much as anyone can during a frickin' stroke), and later to draw meaningful lessons from what happened. That stroke is the topic of this twenty-minute lecture.

While the author of the Book of Proverbs remains uncertain (most likely, King Solomon wrote it), its intent is not. The book was written to share insight, and much conventional wisdom originates in its pages. Proverbs 17:22, "a merrie heart doth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones," has transformed into the popular saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." It turns out that King Solomon, et al., were right: Laughing has medicinal applications.

Difference is estriol cream or progesterone cream?
purty2December 15, 2001
Is there a difference in these creams? As to the benefits? Do they both help with sensation and with dryness?
I'd suggest checking out "What your doctor didn't tell you about menopause" and "What your doctor didn't tell you about premenopause" (or something like that, I can't remember the book titles exactly), by Dr. John Lee. He gives a really good rundown on estrogen & progesterone and what they do, and how to use the creams, when, how much, etc.

Fall 2013 Guide to Chicago
Chicago summers are packed with street festivals and the ever-magnificent Lollapalooza, and the switch of seasons to autumn only continues the Second City's impressive offerings. Stop by one of Chicago's great museums and take in an exciting new exhibit, then wander around the city taking in the stunning gold, fuchsia, and orange leaves that dot the Windy City landscape each fall. From the Bears games to stylish restaurant and hotel openings, there's something fun in every neighborhood, from the Loop to Lincoln Park.
New Stays
Several new hotels that opened this summer, The Langham Chicago (located inside a skyscraper designed by Mies van der Rohe) and Aloft Chicago City Center, continue to offer outstanding stays this fall.
Joining Aloft Chicago City Center for the hotel triplex are two new hotels, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Chicago Downtown/River North and Hyatt Place Chicago/River North. All three are LEED-certified and boast access to Restaurant Beatrix, a new eatery that exudes a coffeehouse vibe while serving health-focused dishes like a turkey, sweet potato, and greens "neatloaf."
Another impressive accommodation opened in October in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Check in to the 247-room Thompson Chicago and enjoy a winter garden, a 1,000-square-foot fitness center and a restaurant to be opened in December. Rooms are decked out in turquoise and charcoal-gray hues, with white-marble baths that host spacious walk-in showers.
Restaurant Openings and Food Fests
Celebrity chef Mario Batali enters the Windy City with his internationally known Eataly, a 60,000-square-foot Italian market opening in mid-November.
Get your fix of fried, Southern comfort food with Honey Butter Fried Chicken, a restaurant featuring fried chicken slathered with honey-infused butter, recently opened in the Avondale neighborhood.
Bacon-lovers will rejoice at Burke's Bacon Bar, inside The James Chicago on Michigan Avenue, which has been serving up four types of bacon on palm-sized "handwiches," and sweets like bacon chocolate-chip cookies and bacon peanut brittle, since August.
Also recently opened are Travelle, a David Rockwell-designed restaurant inside The Langham Chicago, where Greek cuisine gets a modern twist; and Tortoise Club, serving Lake Superior whitefish and Maine lobster in a clubhouse environment in River North.
Over-indulge your sweet tooth at the Chicago Fine Chocolate & Dessert Show. Located at Navy Pier from October 18 to 20, the show features tons of vendor samples and world-class chocolatiers showcasing chocolate using a myriad of culinary techniques in a variety of cuisines.
Cultural Exhibits
Take a mental vacay to other continents with two exhibits at the Art Institute of Chicago. "What Vincent Saw," an exhibit running until November 18, features photographs of the locations Van Gogh painted. "Shomei Tomatsu: Island Life," an exhibit that runs until January 5, 2014, takes you to Japan's Southern islands through brilliant photography.
Chicago's lesser-known art museum – Museum of Contemporary Art – hosts a traveling cartoons exhibit, "Modern Cartoonist: The Art of Daniel Clowes," through October 13. You can also enjoy, "MCA DNA: Warhol and Marisol," an exhibit pairing works of friends Andy Warhol and sculptor Marisol Escobar, on display until June 15, 2014.
Another must-stop for art lovers is the National Museum of Mexican Art, in the Pilsen neighborhood, which has an exhibit through December 22, on the Mexican-American street art movement in Chicago. Or visit between October 11-20 and see talented Mexican folk artists practicing their work at the 8th annual Folk Art Festival.
At the grandiose Field Museum take a critical look at North Dakota's oil boom with an exhibit that runs through January 20, 2014. Or beginning October 25, see the museum's hidden collection from the 1893 World's Fair that marked the debut of the Field Museum 120 years ago.
Celebrating the Museum of Science & Industry's 80th birthday is the exhibit, "80 at 80," offering a peek at rarely seen artifacts. Another anniversary exhibit, "Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives," celebrates nine decades of Disney history with drawings, props and costumes of Disney creation.
Sporting Events
Sports fans should grab a ticket to Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears. The stadium hosts enthusiastic football fans and a great view of Lake Michigan (although be sure to pack a blanket or sweater to beat the cool lake breezes). Da Bulls (Chicago-speak for the NBA team) kick off their 2013-2014 season on October 19, with the first home game at United Center on October 31.
For something out-of-the-ordinary, roller derby in Chicago is as hot as ever: catch a bout at Windy City Rollers.

In the 1950s Kentucky Lake was the "Big Lake". I went to summer camp on its shores. I went on fishing trips with my dad and my Uncles. Lake Barkley was a later addition. Both drain into the Ohio River.

Access "Case study: Balfour Beatty extends Fujitsu contract to support messaging"
This article is part of the 03 June 2014 issue of How big data brings big donations for charities
Balfour Beatty has signed a new contract with Fujitsu to provide email, extending an IT transformation deal the companies agreed in July 2013. Ten months has passed since Fujitsu won an IT transformation contract with Balfour Betty to transform its IT infrastructure and outsource second- and third-line support. Danny Reeves, CIO Balfour Beatty (pictured), speaks about how the Fujitsu contract supports his IT strategy and the rationale behind extending it to messaging. The construction services company plans to implement a single collaborative messaging platform to support 14,000 UK users, across approximately 900 sites, based on Microsoft Exchange.
