Headphone maker in Encinitas built on earlier experience with speakers to capture sizable niche market
I also wanted to incorporate an environmental feel — something that is different. Instead of plastic packaging, I use all bamboo — natural elements. I got tired of plastic. There's so much plastic. The wood creates a better resonation for sound qualities, and it just looks nicer.
We have always used high-quality drivers and speakers, and I have just continued. I have all the same connections and relationships (with suppliers) that we used previously with Sonic Impact.
Q: How do you distribute?
A: After our first year, Best Buy picked up our Major League Baseball line. We also picked up a unique retailer, Pottery Barn. They have been great. Everybody says baseball is for boys — boys and men. But it's moms who shop there. And they buy it as a gift for the males in their families.In terms of visibility, we're more guerrilla marketing and going out and getting the fan. So if we go out to San Diego, for example, we're going to try to get on the Padres radio station. We're going to go to blogs on the Padres and do everything we can to get people to come to our website and look at our headphones. When they do, they're also going to see not only the Padres but Bruce Lee and all the other things.
Q: How did you hook up with Major League Baseball?
A: They approached a friend of mine at Apple. He said there are a lot of companies out there doing headphones, but you need something unique, and I know the guy you should talk to because he designs differently than everybody else. So we basically had a conversation with MLB's corporate offices and got somewhat fast-tracked through the whole process and developed a product.
I'm a startup, but I have a lot of history. That makes it a little easier. The hard work for me is not on the product end of it. It's on the paperwork end. There is a lot of detail that goes into it.
Q: How much did you raise to start BIGR?
A: Initially we came up with about $250,000 to get it going. The first year of sales I would say we were $500,000 to $600,000, plus or minus. Last year we were probably $750,000 to $900,000. And this year we're probably going to grow to $1.2 million and $1.5 million, maybe more because we still have the fourth quarter coming up, which is a big quarter.
It's fun. I like developing businesses. I've done everything you can think of, from construction to security to catering chef to starting a worldwide electronics brand.

ADHD in Children Health Center
ADHD: 7 Life Skills Your Child May Need to Master
3. Organization
Resist the temptation to pick up the piles of clothes, books, and other messes in your child's room.
"If you keep organizing their room, they will not learn what works and what doesn't," Goldrich says.
Find a system that works for your child, such as bins or a bucket to hold their school supplies and shelves for their books.
Nadeau suggests keeping a "launching pad," a spot to put things kids regularly use, such as their keys and phone, if they have one.
4. Money
Because money can be a real problem for anyone with impulsivity issues, start developing financial skills now. Some banks will allow you to open a bank account for your teen. Having their own account helps kids learn how to save and manage their allowance and the other money they earn.
"I would suggest getting them a debit card and a credit card," Goldrich says. Put a set amount of money in the debit account and a limit on the credit card. Because you get the statements, you can see exactly what your child spends.
Establish a budget together based on how much your teen will need for clothes, food, and other necessities.
5. Medications
If your child takes ADHD medications, get her in the habit of remembering to take them each day.
You can put her in charge of this, with a little help from a smartphone alarm. This gets her started with taking ownership of this part of her life, though you'll probably have to refill her prescriptions and make her doctor's appointments for several more years.
6. Relationship Skills
You are the gatekeeper of your child's friendships for now. Once he leaves home, you'll have less of a say in the company he keeps.
"It's important for them to understand how much they are influenced by the people around them," Nadeau says.
Encourage your teen to choose friends with similar personalities and interests. A good way to do that is through clubs, sports, and community groups.
7. Wise Decision-Making
ADHD often includes impulsivity, which makes teens more likely to get into trouble with drugs, alcohol, reckless driving, and other problem behaviors.
To help curb that impulsivity, focus on consequences. Set penalties, like no car privileges for 2 weeks if he gets a speeding ticket. And, he has to pay for his own ticket.
If you're having trouble reinforcing these skills on your own, consider calling in a certified ADHD coach. As Goldrich says, "The coach can help them grow."

97 Percent Of Prostate Cancer Patients Treated With Proton Therapy Have Not Suffered Recurrence
Patients Report High Quality of Life After Treatment in New Survey from National Association for Proton Therapy
WASHINGTON, April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Approximately 97 percent of patients who received only an advanced form of radiation called proton therapy for prostate cancer report that they have not experienced a recurrence of their disease, according to a new survey of nearly 4,000 patients released today at the second annual National Proton Conference in Arlington, VA.
The new survey was commissioned by the National Association for Proton Therapy (NAPT) as a follow on to a 2013 report designed to investigate clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Dobson DaVanzo & Associates, LLC (Dobson| DaVanzo), an independent health economics and policy consulting firm, conducted the study. This year's survey captured data from 3,798 former proton therapy patients treated at twelve proton therapy centers, which is almost a two-fold increase from the 1,961 former patients who completed the 2013 survey. Approximately 17 percent of all men treated in America with proton therapy for prostate cancer participated in the survey. Many of the cancer-free patients completed treatment as long as 10 years ago. (For details, see the executive summary, highlights, and a slide presentation about the survey.)
"We are delighted that the results of the new study are highly consistent with the 2013 study of prostate cancer patients treated with proton therapy. Both show that the overwhelming majority of proton therapy patients surveyed are free from recurrence, enjoying an excellent quality of life and so happy with their choice of treatment that they have recommended it to others," said Leonard Arzt, Executive Director of NAPT.
Proton therapy uses a high energy beam of protons, instead of conventional high energy X-rays, to deliver a precise dose of radiation therapy. Proton therapy destroys cancer cells, but does not attack adjacent healthy tissue, so patients do not suffer the same side effects that patients treated with conventional radiation endure. They also are at less risk for radiation induced secondary tumors.
In contrast with the results reported by proton therapy patients, 10-30 percent of men who have a prostatectomy (surgery) experience a recurrence of their cancer, according to a recent estimate. Also, a 2006 study revealed that 11 percent of patients treated with a conventional form of radiation experience a recurrence within 8 years.
"The study data on why patients choose proton therapy is an important finding," said Joan DaVanzo, Ph.D, chief executive officer, Dobson | DaVanzo, "Our results indicated that of those with prostate cancer who responded to the survey, a vast majority of individuals are choosing proton therapy over other treatment modalities (such as surgery and conventional X-ray radiation such as IMRT) based on their desire for fewer side effects."
New York City resident Bill Barbour, 63, says he was "shattered" when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2011. An avid cyclist, he feared that treatment would prevent him from enjoying the hobby that he says is "part of the fabric of his life." After learning that an acquaintance of his was unable to cycle for two years after a prostatectomy, Bill choose proton therapy and was able to ride his bike to and from the treatment center for his treatments. He also continued to work throughout his treatment. "Treatments were painless and took about one minute," Bill says.
To measure each patient's post-treatment health condition, the new study used the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), a validated instrument developed by the University of Michigan and UCLA that measures health related quality of life (HRQOL), specifically among men with prostate cancer. In both surveys, patients who received only proton therapy for treatment of their prostate cancer did not have significantly different HRQOL scores post-treatment from a prostate-cancer free control group in each category: 1) urinary incontinence, 2) urinary irritative, 3) bowel, and 4) sexual.
Consistent with the previous NAPT study, patients continue to be extremely satisfied with their proton therapy treatment:
-- Of 3,632 patients who responded, 98 percent believed they had made the best treatment decision for themselves. -- Of 3,636 patients who responded, 96 percent have recommended proton therapy to others. -- Of 3,642 patients who responded, 85 percent reported that their quality of life was "better than" (27 percent) or "the same as" (58 percent) before their treatment.
The National Association for Proton Therapy (NAPT) is a non-profit organization supported by proton center members and is "The Voice of the Proton Community". The NAPT promotes education and public awareness for the clinical benefits of proton beam radiation therapy. Founded in 1990, NAPT is an advocate for the advancement and future access of proton therapy. NAPT's site is www.proton-therapy.org.

Banks lead Europe shares lower in choppy trade
European shares fell to a near four-year low in choppy trade as financials, led by Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank, tumbled on talk of bigger funding needs amid the swirling global credit crisis.
After initial brief gains, the main indexes in London, Paris and Frankfurt all dipped back into the red around this morning's closing level.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of leading European shares was down 0.5 per cent at 1,000.26 points, having rallied as much as 2.6 per cent in early trading in a short-lived rebound to its record 7.8-per-cent-drop on Monday.
The benchmark then fell 0.9 per cent to its lowest level since Oct. 27, 2004.
Banks were the top weighted losers, chopping 7 points off the FTSEurofirst 300 index.
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) fell almost 30 per cent and Barclays was down 9.3 per cent as a source familiar with the talks said that the British Government had held talks with major banks on Monday evening at which the possibility of an injection of public money was discussed.
The Government said it would do whatever it takes to support the banking system and would not speculate on possible policy options.
Deutsche Bank shares fell 10.5 per cent on market concern about a possible capital increase. Deutsche Bank declined comment.
Financials remain under strain despite unprecedented measures taken by governments and central banks in recent days, weeks and months to support the ailing sector.
Iceland's market authority, battling to stave off national bankruptcy after its banks took on massive debts in expanding overseas, took control of Landsbanki, the island's second largest bank by value.
The two main stock exchanges in Moscow remain closed after last night's suspension in trading.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced an extra 950 billion roubles ($50.8 billion) of new credit for banks at an emergency Kremlin meeting to fight a global financial crisis that had given Russian stocks their worst pounding ever the previous day.
Mr Medvedev said that most of the money, which is offered over five years, would be channelled through the biggest two state-controlled banks, Sberbank and VTB.
Meanwhile, European finance ministers are meeting in Luxembourg to try to bolster the continent's financial system.
The Irish finance minister, Brian Lenihan, says they will consider increasing government guarantees for private savings.
"The main issue is ensuring confidence and stability throughout our European banking system," he said.
"That's what we all have to work as at European ministers to generate that degree of confidence that will ensure the banking markets function effectively for all our citizens."

Concerns Over Appointment of NHS Trust Chief
THE new chief executive of a crisis-hit Yorkshire health trust faced calls to quit over serious concerns about patient care in her previous role.
Christine Green will become Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust's fifth chief executive in six years when she takes over in a temporary capacity from the departing Iain McInnes on Monday.
But concerns have already been raised about her appointment following a damning report into care for the elderly during her tenure as chief executive of Tameside and Glossop NHS Trust in the North West.
The report into Tameside Hospital in Ashton-under-Lyne, published in February last year, found care administered to some patients over a number of years had been "seriously deficient".
It found evidence of staff intimidation, rudeness and aggression from doctors, poor hygiene and patients being told to wet the bed. A review six months later said the trust had acknowledged its shortcomings and was making good progress.
Ms Green and the trust were also at the centre of a storm over a "fake" photograph, when she was part of a group pictured alongside MP James Purnell at the launch of a hospital rebuilding project last year. Mr Purnell had missed the photo shoot and the trust later admitted doctoring the picture to include him.
East Yorkshire MP Greg Knight questioned the appointment, but said he would be prepared to back Ms Green if she took a different approach to her predecessor over the future of under-threat services at Bridlington Hospital.
He said: "If she listens to what local doctors are saying and shows she's willing to stand up for Bridlington Hospital, then I for one would not hold those past black marks against her."
Unions have also said they would judge Ms Green on her record in Yorkshire.
Terry Cunliffe, regional officer for the union Unite, said: "I have spoken to the chief executive of the strategic health authority who assures me that Christine is highly experienced and the strategic health authority are confident in her ability to manage and take the trust forward.
"I'm always prepared to give that person the opportunity to show that confidence is well-founded."
But councillor Ros Jump, East Riding Council portfolio holder for health said the appointment smacked of "panic".
"I'm very concerned that they haven't got anybody who doesn't come with baggage," she said. "They have had enough upheaval without bringing in someone in who isn't going to be there permanently."
The independent reconfiguration panel, which advises the Health Secretary on contested proposals for health service change, is reviewing the trust's plans to transfer Bridlington's cardiac monitoring unit and acute medical services to Scarborough Hospital, and alter the way maternity services are delivered.
The trust only shelved plans to axe 600 jobs – a third of its workforce – last year when the strategic health authority agreed to suspend the bulk of its historical debt of Pounds 12m.
A spokesman for NHS Yorkshire and Humber said: "Christine Green has successfully guided Tameside to foundation trust status, recognition of a well managed organisation. As chief executive she has faced serious challenges and worked with colleagues to put solutions in place. It is this valuable experience she will bring to Scarborough and East Yorkshire Trust as interim chief executive."
Ms Green said in a statement: "The NHS is a public service system and as a public servant I feel it is important that we pull together to help other parts of the service when necessary."

Avron Fogelman, who now owns 50 percent of the Kansas City Royals baseball team, said yesterday he has declined to pick up the option that would give him sole ownership of the Royals by 1991. Fogelman, a Memphis businessman, said he made the decision because he didn't think it was the right time to take over majority ownership from founder Ewing Kauffman. Under the new agreement, Kauffman will retain his half interest through 2012. Fogelman recently purchased one percent for $200,000. He bought 49 percent of the Royals from Kauffman on May 7, 1983, for $10 million.

Marguerite (Mrs. William J.) Condon has already caused a sensation with the new pin she has had only two days. It's a beetle pin, encrusted with gold and jewels. The unusual part is that it's a sure enough, real live beetle. Oscar, as Marguerite calls her pet pin, arrived Thursday by plane. Marguerite went out to the airport to meet him, whereupon she encountered an acquaintance. "Are you meeting someone?" the friend asked. "I'm meeting a beetle," was Marguerite's dry reply. Her beetle is called a love beetle, a very rare type found in the mountains of Yucatan. The backs and heads of the beetles, which are very hard, are carved by the natives, then encrusted with the gold and jewels.

Macy's, Inc. (NYSE: M) is a department store holding company and owner of Macy's and Bloomingdale's department stores. Macy's, Inc.'s stores specialize mostly in the retail sale of clothing, cosmetics, jewellery, watches, bedding and bath, dinnerware, and furniture.
Macy's Inc. is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio and operates just over 850 stores in the United States.[3] The company's Macy's locations and related operations account for 90 percent of the company's revenue, while luxury-oriented Bloomingdale's stores and associated ventures represent the balance of the company's business. Macy's is well known for its flagship department stores, most notably in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, the former Dayton's in Minneapolis, the former Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh, the former Burdine's in Miami, the former Wanamaker's in Philadelphia, and the former Marshall Field's location in Chicago and the former Famous-Barr in St. Louis.
According to Deloitte, Macy's, Inc. is the world's largest fashion goods retailer and the 36th largest retailer overall, based on the company's reported 2010 retail sales revenue of $25 billion.[4]
Macy's Inc. was founded as Federated Department Stores in 1929 in Columbus, Ohio. Federated was originally a department store holding company for Abraham & Straus, F&R Lazarus & Company (including its Cincinnati division, then known as Shillito's) and William Filene's Sons of Boston. Bloomingdale Brothers joined the organization in 1930. Federated moved its corporate offices to Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1945.
Over the next few decades, Federated expanded nationwide, adding Rike Kumler of Dayton, Ohio (merged into Shillito's in the 1980s to become Shillito-Rike's); Burdines of Miami, Florida; Rich's of Atlanta, Georgia; Foley's of Houston, Texas; Sanger Brothers and A. Harris, both of Dallas, Texas (which was merged with Sanger Brothers to form Sanger-Harris); Boston Store of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; MainStreet of Chicago, Illinois; Bullock's, of Los Angeles; I. Magnin, of San Francisco, California; Gold Circle; and Richway Discount Department Stores of Worthington, Ohio. In 1982, Federated acquired the Twin Fair, Inc. discount store chain based in Buffalo, New York and merged it with Gold Circle.[5]
Federated was the successor to the Lazarus operation begun in Columbus, Ohio, in 1851. Lazarus family members served in prominent positions within Federated through the 1980s. In the mid-1930s, a modern merchandising standard was set when Fred Lazarus (son of Simon) arranged garments in groups of a single size with a range of style, color and price in that size, rather than the other way around. Lazarus based this technique upon observations made in Paris. Fred Lazarus Jr. also convinced President Franklin D. Roosevelt that changing the Thanksgiving holiday from the last Thursday of November the fourth Thursday, extending the Christmas shopping season, would be good for the nation's business. An Act of Congress perpetuated the arrangement in 1941. After this date "Black Friday" became a nationwide sensation, becoming the most profitable day for Federated nationally. Other companies tried to follow suit but failed to achieve what John Albert Macy had in mind. Various Lazarus family members also held key positions on Federated's board and within its various divisions—namely, Foley's, Filene's, Lazarus and Shillito's. As of January, 2002, Robert Lazarus Jr. was the only family member still with an official role at Federated, serving as assistant to Ron Klein, then chairman and CEO of the Rich's/Lazarus/Goldsmith's operating unit of Federated, now Macy's South.
In 1983 it sold most of its infrastructure to JMB Realty.
To support its huge retail operations, Federated centralized its back-office functions into several large divisions, covering financial services, marketing, merchandising, logistics, and data processing systems. Other retailers' branded credit cards are usually issued and serviced by a third-party bank; Federated was so huge that it ran its own private bank, FDS Bank, which for many years issued and maintained the majority of its own consumer credit card portfolio with a portion at one time owned by General Electric Credit Corporation, an arrangement inherited from when R.H. Macy & Company sold their credit portfolio in an attempt to prevent filing for bankruptcy. In 2005 Federated finalized an arrangement with CitiGroup to sell its consumer credit portfolio, reissuing its cards under the Federated-CitiGroup Alliance name Department Stores National Bank (DSNB) and allowing Federated to continue servicing the credit accounts from its Financial, Administrative and Credit Services Group (Macy's Credit and Customer Services)
In 1990, Federated—now under the control of Robert Campeau -- went bankrupt after its hostile takeover of Allied Stores; it emerged from bankruptcy after the ouster of Campeau in 1992 as a new public company. Federated then took over Macy's in 1994 while that company was still emerging from its own bankruptcy in 1992. Federated entered e-commerce late, in 1998. FDS Bank was one of the last credit card banks to begin to allow its cardholders to access account information online (around 2004). The department store chain Stern's, a division of Federated, ceased operations in 2001 and most of its stores became Macy's stores. In 2003, Federated changed the nameplates of all their non-Macy's stores, except Bloomingdale's, to include the Macy's name. The rebranding process was referred internally to as Project Hyphen. Under the plan, Seattle-based The Bon Marche became Bon-Macy's; Goldsmith's in Tennessee became Goldsmith's-Macy's; Lazarus, Burdines, and Rich's also added "-Macy's" to their name. A year later, the original hyphenated names were dropped in favor of just Macy's, a rebranding process referred internally to as Project Star.
Federated settled an SEC investigation for $14.46 million in 1998 due to unethical debt-collection practices. Federated routinely forced credit card holders/debtors to sign an agreement that legally bound them to repay their outstanding balances instead of having the unsecured debt discharge via the filing of bankruptcy. Federated failed to file reaffirmation agreements with bankruptcy courts. As a result, the changes in the agreements were not legally binding.[6][7][8]
On July 18, 2005, Federated Department Stores announced that they would acquire May Department Stores company for $11 billion in cash and stock. Also part of the buyout was the bridal and formal unit of May, consisting of David's Bridal and After Hours Formalwear. Federated would also assume $6 billion of May's debt, bringing total consideration to $17 billion. The deal would create the nation's largest department store chain with over 1,000 stores and $30 billion in annual sales. To help finance the deal, Federated agreed to sell its combined proprietary credit card business (but still administered by FACS Group, a subsidiary of Federated) to Citigroup. The merger was completed on August 30, 2005, after an assurance agreement was reached with the State Attorneys General of New York, California, Massachusetts, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Federated announced plans to sell 80 store locations in 2006, having pledged in its settlement to sell most of them as viable businesses, with preference being given to a group of thirteen competitors. This number could fluctuate pursuant to Federated's negotiations with various mall landlords and its final decision regarding using former Macy locations for its luxury Bloomingdale's operation.
On January 12, 2006, Federated announced its plans to divest May Company's Lord & Taylor division (55 stores in 12 states) by the end of 2006 after concluding that chain did not fit with their strategic focus for building the Macy's and Bloomingdale's national brands. On June 22, 2006, Macy's announced that NRDC Equity Partners, LLC would purchase Lord & Taylor for US$1.2 billion, and completed the sale in October 2006.
On September 9, 2006, May Company division stores Famous-Barr, Filene's, Foley's (the prior two were former Federated stores in their own right), Hecht's, The Jones Store, L. S. Ayres, Marshall Field's, Meier & Frank, Robinsons-May, and Strawbridge's brands ceased to exist as Federated replaced most of them with the Macy's masthead, and a select few converting to the Bloomingdale's brand. The conversion of Marshall Field's in Chicago has been particularly criticized, with many customers boycotting the State Street store and staying away from the emporium. The Chicago Tribune continues to report on the poor reception of Macy's in Chicago. Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh also had a dislike to the change most due to the concern of the local parade run by the store. Other stores like Famous-Barr in St. Louis also disliked the change, but not nearly as much as Marshall Field's.[citation needed]
One of the consequences of this rebranding is that over 80 U.S. malls now have two Macy's department stores.[citation needed] In Downtown Boston, Federated liquidated an acquired Filene's because it already had a Macy's (formerly a Jordan Marsh) across the street. The two stores have a combined floorspace of more than 1,400,000 square feet (130,000 m2), more than two-thirds the size of Macy's New York City flagship store.
On November 17, 2006, the bridal and formal unit was sold. David's Bridal and Priscilla of Boston were sold to Leonard Green & Partners. After Hours Formalwear was sold to Men's Wearhouse.[9]
On February 27, 2007, Federated announced that its board of directors would ask shareholders to change the company's name to Macy's Group, Inc. By March 28, the company revised its plans for the new name, opting to eventually become Macy's, Inc. Federated shareholders approved the revised proposal during the company's annual meeting on May 18, 2007.[1].The company was previously known as Federated Retail Holdings, Inc.
The name took effect on June 1, 2007. Reasoning for the proposed name change, according to Terry Lundgren, Federated's chairman, president and chief executive officer — hinges on the large-scale conversions throughout the company toward the Macy's nameplate. "Today, we are a brand-driven company focused on Macy's and Bloomingdale's, not a federation of department stores," Lundgren said in the company's press release heralding the proposed name.[10] Upon the change to Macy's Inc., Federated's stock ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange changed from "FD" to "M", making the new Macy's Inc. one of a handful of single-letter ticker symbol companies.[11]
In April, 2008, Moody's Investors Service said that it may downgrade Macy's Inc. bonds to just above junk status. That same month, Fitch Ratings downgraded their ratings to BBB- from BBB, noting a deterioration in the company's operating and credit metrics. A rating of BBB- is one notch above junk status.
The domain macysinc.com attracted at least 3 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com survey.
On Wednesday, February 6, 2008, Terry Lundgren announced the localization strategy and the company's plan to shed 2,550 jobs. This new localization strategy is known as "My Macy's."
Employees of the Macy's North headquarters office in Minneapolis, the Macy's Northwest headquarters office in Seattle, and the Macy's Midwest headquarters office in St. Louis were given pink slips, as Macy's pared its seven regional centers to four. Buyers, accountants and senior executives lost their jobs. About 40 new jobs will be created in May as part of the restructuring.
By 2009, the company expects to save $100 million a year from the cuts.
On February 2, 2009 Macy's said it will cut 7,000 jobs, or 4 percent of its work force, and slash its dividend as it looks to lower expenses. Cincinnati-based Macy's Inc. said the work force reduction includes positions in offices, stores and other locations. The cuts will include some unfilled jobs. "Reducing our workforce is an unfortunate outcome of the current economic environment, and I am frustrated that so many of our people will be unable to move forward with us as we proceed into a very exciting future for Macy's and Bloomingdale's" said Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "
Macy's will also begin getting rid of its division structure and integrating its functions into one organization, effective immediately. Macy's central buying, merchandise planning, stores senior management and marketing functions will be located primarily in New York. Corporate-related business functions, such as finance and human resources, will be primarily in Cincinnati. To buy with local consumers in mind, Macy's developed a concept called "My Macy's", in which the buyers and planners all look at what the local consumer base is looking for in their local Macy's store. This will help bring a better sense of branding, sizing and marketing to each Macy's store nationwide.
Macy's Inc.; decided that it would be closing it doors to Bloomingdale's at Mall of America, in Minnesota. Since 1994, Bloomingdale's has been the anchor store of the mall, and will be replaced with a $30 million renovation with four new foreign clothing stores.

Andrew C. McCarthy: The Attorney and the General – National Review Online
February 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Michael Hayden, the former CIA director, penned a superb op-ed in the Washington Post on Sunday. Succinctly, he tallies the wages of having Attorney General Eric Holder make national-security decisions. Unlike the attorney general, Hayden is a real general, and very much worth heeding. He shows that these decisions have been premised on left-wing political […]
How to Fight a Better War – by Jacob Laksin

WHEN SHE WALKS INTO THE VISITORS AREA of the Federal Detention Center in downtown Houston, she is wearing a neatly ironed khaki uniform, freshly applied red lipstick, and eyeglasses with oversized frames. She is a mere five feet two inches tall, with the kind of thick, brunette hair you used to see on the models who posed for Breck shampoo ads.
"You look like the prison librarian," I tell Vanessa Leggett as she sits in a chair and crosses her legs.
"That's what everyone says," she replies with a sigh. "Even the other female inmates tell me that I don't look like someone who belongs behind bars."
But that's exactly where the 33-year-old fledgling writer has been since July 20, when she refused to obey a subpoena from the U.S. attorney's office ordering her to give up all the research she had gathered on Robert Angleton, the multimillionaire Houston bookie who was accused of murdering his wife. Since 1997 Leggett, a part-time lecturer at the University of Houston's downtown campus, had been interviewing people connected with the Angleton case in hopes of writing a book. Assistant U.S. attorney Terry Clark, of Houston, a veteran prosecutor heading a federal grand jury investigation of Angleton's alleged criminal activities, wanted to listen to every interview she had taped, see every transcript, and get a list of everyone she had interviewed, including those who talked to her only if she promised them anonymity. Clark went so far as to demand that Leggett not be allowed to keep any copy of her tapes and transcripts for herself, which essentially would keep her from writing a book. When she resisted the subpoena, Clark persuaded a federal judge, at a hearing that the public was not allowed to attend, to jail her on a civil contempt citation.
It was the most curious of confrontations: the federal government versus a completely unproven writer who, before the subpoena, had published only one article, in an obscure law enforcement manual. Leggett's jailing made headlines in newspapers around the country, and her story was featured on the Today show, Good Morning America, CNN, and PBS's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Civil liberty groups turned her into a cause célèbre, defending on First Amendment grounds her right not to reveal her sources. Yet Clark would hear none of it. He argued that a federal grand jury investigating criminal activity has an obligation to find out anything that anybody—including a reporter—might know about crimes that might have been committed. Besides, he claimed, as a novice writer not associated with any media organization, Leggett isn't entitled to the same protections given to more-established reporters.
Predictably, the standoff between Clark and Leggett—which is now in its fifth month, meaning Leggett has been in jail longer than any journalist in U.S. history—has touched off a debate on freedom of the press. But I'm far more interested in a different issue altogether, one that almost no one has talked about: Why is Clark (whose policy is to refuse all interview requests related to ongoing cases) focused on Leggett? I have a theory, and it's not based on the idle speculation that has driven much of the media coverage thus far. I wrote a long article about Angleton for Texas Monthly in November 1997 ("The Bookmaker's Wife"), and since then, I've talked to Leggett dozens of times about her reporting. I'm the only person, outside of her family, her attorneys, and a literary agent, who has read the six chapters she has written. Based on what I've seen and heard, I'm confident that she hasn't found some previously unknown smoking gun that could help prosecutors win a criminal conviction against Angleton. I'm not even sure she has anything of value that prosecutors would want to introduce as evidence.
So why are Clark and the feds obsessed with what Leggett is going to write? Do they really think she knows something about Angleton that they don't already know? Or, as I suspect, are they more worried about what she might write about them?
I FIRST MET LEGGETT IN EARLY 1997, when I gave a speech at the Houston Public Library. She was dressed in a dark skirt with a matching blazer, and she was wearing thick-framed eyeglasses that gave her a scholarly appearance. I figured she was a law school student. But then she came up to me and told me her goal in life was to be a true-crime writer.I tried not to smile. If you're in the business for a long time, you meet plenty of budding authors, most of whom have ambitions to write a great novel, but rarely do you meet someone whose sole interest is to write true-crime books. For the past several years, the true-crime genre has fallen on hard times. The days when books like Blood and Money and Fatal Vision topped the best-seller list are long gone. Today, a sensational crime is so thoroughly covered by the media—especially by the prime-time television newsmagazine shows—that most people are weary of the story by the time a book comes out. A true-crime author is now lucky to get a $15,000 advance, and true-crime books are rarely published in hardback.
Leggett told me, however, that she had been in love with true crime since she was a teenager, when she read Truman Capote's In Cold Blood for the first time. "What fascinates me is the duality of human nature," she said solemnly, "our ability to be imbued with such goodness and yet have a capacity for such evil." Needless to say, I was charmed. The true-crime writers I'd known were hard-boiled ex-newspapermen who liked to sit at bars and talk about exit wounds. Here was one with perfectly manicured fingernails.
The daughter of a successful Houston oil trader, Leggett was raised just down the street from the home of George and Barbara Bush. She attended private schools and earned bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, where she also took classes in theodicy (the

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor calls Kevin Love trade 'likely'
Aug 3, 2014, 12:30 AM EDT
Last we heard from Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, he said he expected Kevin Love in training camp.
Of course, Minnesota has hardly acted on that assumption.
The Timberwolves asked Love to sit out the World Cup and have spoken with the 76ers about getting Thaddeus Young to replace Love. Taylor – and everyone else in the organization – realizes Love is getting traded.
Now Taylor is finally saying it.
Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
The Timberwolves say now that they expect to trade disgruntled all-star Kevin Love and that a deal is expected Aug. 23 or Aug. 24.
"I'm saying it's most likely because Kevin has made it pretty clear that that's what he wants to do," Wolves owner Glen Taylor told the Pioneer Press.
Aug. 23 is when the Cavaliers can trade Andrew Wiggins, lending more credence to the belief Love will join LeBron James in Cleveland.
That doesn't mean a deal is set. Likely, details remain. Will a third team be involved? Will Minnesota include Kevin Martin and/or J.J. Barea? Which players acquired from the Jazz will be necessary to make salaries match?
But the inevitability of Love becoming a Cavalier becomes increasingly clear.

The IHRC Archives began their collection of Arab American materials over a decade ago and the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, which opened in 2005, is dedicated to documenting Arab American history and culture.
The Arab American History and Culture symposium brings these two organizations together to celebrate the creation of the Little Syria Exhibit, to reflect on the state of Arab American studies in the academic context, and to deepen awareness of Arab American history and culture and the importance of preserving the documents and other items that can connect us and future generations to both the past and present. The symposium will take place on Friday, October 25, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
9:00 AM - Arab American Studies: Critical Perspectives

Hopes rise for release of American jailed in Cuba
HAVANA A surprise visit by former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has revived hope Cuba may soon free a U.S. government subcontractor whose imprisonment has snarled efforts to improve relations between the two countries. A senior Cuban official praised Richardson on Thursday while describing the jailed American as a "victim."
Parliament Chief Ricardo Alarcon, normally a leading voice on issues concerning the United States, said he had no idea whether Richardson would be allowed to leave the island with Maryland native Alan Gross, who is serving a 15-year sentence for bringing communications equipment into Cuba illegally.
"I don't know what Bill's program here involves," Alarcon said. "I'm not a fortune teller."
But the parliamentarian also offered measured words about Gross, who was working on a USAID-funded democracy-building program when he was arrested in December 2009.
"It is a shame that this gentleman has been a victim of politics," he said. "They've used him."
Alarcon also lauded Richardson's efforts to improve ties between Washington and Havana, including advocating freedom for five Cuban agents serving long jail terms in the United States.
Richardson's effort toward rapprochement "is something legitimate."
"It is something noble. I hope it gets results," Alarcon said.
Washington has long insisted that the case of Gross has nothing in common with those of the five Cuban agents, who were convicted in Miami in 2001 and given long prison sentences, and that a prisoner exchange is not possible. The "Cuban Five" are considered national heroes by Havana, which says they were monitoring militant anti-Castro groups in the United States to prevent bomb attacks and posed no threat to U.S. national security.
Since his arrival Wednesday, Richardson has kept tightlipped about his visit, though he indicated Thursday morning he was not expecting an immediate result.
"I have nothing to say," the former governor told The Associated Press as he and two assistants ducked out of Havana's famous Hotel Nacional wearing shorts and T-shirts for an early morning stroll along the capital's seafront Malecon thoroughfare. "I'll talk to you in a few days."
Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has a working relationship with Cuba's leaders and a long history of winning the release of prisoners in Cuba and elsewhere.
The visit, which was kept under wraps until Richardson landed, was the first sign that intensifying calls for the 62-year-old Gross' release might bear fruit after months of false hopes and bitter disappointment that have overwhelmed efforts at improved relations between the two Cold War enemies.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Thursday that President Barack Obama's administration has been in touch with Richardson, and expected to hear more about his discussions later in the day after he finished speaking with senior Cuban officials.
"We wish him every success in this very important mission," Nuland said.
Cuba says Gross was distributing satellite telephones and other communications equipment that are illegal to use without authorization. It has also called the USAID-funded democracy program that he was on a thinly veiled attempt at overthrowing the government.

Unplanned construction and industrial activities have shrunk the land under saffron cultivation in Kashmir and resulted in 80 per cent decrease in the yield of the most important cash crop of the Valley over the last two decades, according to officials and cultivators.
From 7000 hectares in Pampore tehsil alone in 1990, the land under saffron cultivation has reduced to 3600 hectares in entire Kashmir. The central government has recently announced a Rs 376 crore National Saffron Mission to increase the yield and bring more areas under cultivation.
Despite efforts by the agriculture department to introduce saffron cultivation in areas with topography similar to Pampore, which accounts for nearly 90 per cent of the saffron produced in the State, the crop is virtually facing threat of extinction.
One of the major reasons for shrinking of acreage under saffron cultivation is the "mindless and unplanned" construction of residential houses in the midst of the fields, official claim.
Ironically, one such sprawling residential colony which has come up at Pampore has been named as 'Saffron colony.' Although the State legislature has enacted a law to prevent such constructions, officials in the agriculture department claim it is not being implemented on the ground.
"The legislation is there but enactment of these laws is not in the hands of officers in the Agriculture department," Nigeen Ahmad Lone, the Chief Agriculture Officer of north Kashmir's Pulwama district, said.
Mr. Lone said the department officials can only identify the violations of the Act but have no powers to enforce to take action.
"We can at the most identify and inform. Beyond that the district administration and the police have to act," he said.
The decline in land under saffron cultivation has also been attributed to lack of irrigation facilities in Pampore tehsil.
Mr. Lone said the department will install tube wells, each at a cost of Rs 20 lakh, to solve the irrigation problem.
"Thirty hectares will be covered by one tube well, but farmers will not be compensated for the land which will used for installing it," Mr. Lone said.
Saffron growers in Pampore said over the years there has been a sharp decline in the yield. Haji Abdul Samad Bhat, a saffron grower from Chand-hara area in Pampore, said one hectare of land would yield around 10 kilograms of saffron in 1990.
"However, at present we are getting only around two kilograms per hectare. The returns are meagre and it might not be economically viable to continue growing saffron over the coming years," Mr. Bhat said.
The other threat to the saffron crop is from several industrial estates established in nearby areas of Khunmoh and Khrew in Pulwama district, another farmer Shabir Ahmad Dar said.
There are several cement factories in Khrew and stone crushers in Pampore tehsil, which are polluting the environment, he added.
Saffron is the most expensive spice by weight.
Adulteration and sale of spurious saffron have also increased the woes of growers, who claim that these have brought a bad name to the local produce.
"There were times when customers would not bargain about the price and we would also fix rates as per demand and supply. With the very genuineness of the product in question, we are facing a difficult situation in the market," Mr. Dar said.
