Both sides agree that Kenney and his friends were out biking around dinnertime April 27, 2007, when he was struck by a car and sustained serious injuries. When their son was declared brain dead the next day, his parents ended up donating Matthew's heart because "he had such a big one."
The Kenneys said their son was doing nothing wrong the night of the accident but Cates, the lawyer representing Weaving in his appeal, pointed out that the road where the boys were biking is a major thoroughfare with lots of traffic.
"I have kids I wouldn't let them play there," Cates said. "Forget about the helmet. What are these kids doing; that's a question."
Cates acknowledged the public outcry over an inmate's suing his victim's family but argued that most of the outrage "is generated by the way the story is played. I'll say it again," Cates said. "If somebody comes along and says I'm going to sue you, you would be nuts to say I'm just going to let it go."

This stove just didn't fit my needs. It was heavier than I wanted and bulky too.
if you want tiny and powerful, go for the snowpeak litemax titanium, almost the same output and weighs less than 2 oz and folds down tiny. But please do not knock this stove, because other than bulk (which adds to stability) the Primus Trail Classic is King.

Does President Obama Golf More Than Any Other President?
President Obama's Family Avoids Facebook and DVRs 'Modern Family' Just Like Us!
He's one of the most powerful people on the planet, but President Barack Obama is just like every other American with an average American family. According to an interview in PEOPLE, he watches TV and tries to keep his girls away from Facebook, just like any parent. Like we needed an interview to figure that out.
Does Obama Age Faster Than the Rest of Us Because He's the President?
US presidents like Barack Obama, who seemed so youthful just a few years ago, appear to age right before our very eyes during their terms in office. This simple observance led Jay Olshansky, PhD, a professor of public health at the University of Illinois–Chicago, to question whether the stress of being Commander-in-Chief can really take years off someone's life.
Obama Seems to Think Crocodile Attacks Are a Legit Hazard in Australia
When Barack Obama arrives in Australia's Northern Territory Thursday, the region's chief minister Paul Henderson will greet and hand the American president a policy that insures him against a crocodile attack.

Dubbed the 'Commander-in-Chief Debate' and sponsored by CBS News and National Journal, it was the first of the cycle to appear on network television and to focus on foreign policy.
President Obama Announces US Troops Will Be Out of Iraq by Year's End [VIDEO]
In a White House briefing held Friday, President Obama announced the remaining American troops in Iraq will be home by the end of the year, closing a war effort there that has killed more than 4,400 US servicepeople and wounded 32,000 more since 2003.
"After nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over," the president said.

PRLog - Oct. 19, 2012 - Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
King Kong Political Speech by Malach Lane
When King Kong walks, people shake. The public ran when they heard his growl. As the giant sleeps, all are on alert. My name is Malachi Lane, and I am running for Mayor of New Hope Christian Academy, and I am asking for your vote. Like King Kong, I want to be a presence that you will never forget. I will leave my footprint in the sand of time.
What are my qualifications?
The struggles of students and teachers are always on my mind. If I am elected Mayor, I will focus on three main issues. The issues are School Systems, Crime, and Pollution. Our past President Clinton once stated, "For me, the American Dream is not a slogan. It has been a way of life." My American Dream is for people in New Hope to live in an environment that is crime free, pollution free, and children can attend school feeling safe and free. If you commit the crime, there must be time. Law will become tougher under my administration, and victims will have a decision in the fate of the criminal. For example, the family of the victims may decide to be part of the jury process. There will be laws passed that will pay people to keep their yards clean. Citizens will be fined if they are caught polluting the city. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." Finally, there will be money issued to the city to repair and make all schools look beautiful. I will personally pass a law that pays teachers more for their services. Students who attend school all year without being absent, or late will receive a nice gift. I (Malachi Lane) will veto any law that demands too much homework. Home is for the family, and school is for students to work. Parents shouldn't carry their work home, and students shouldn't carry their work home. There will be no weapons allowed on the school grounds.
There are so many young people growing up in this country today who can't count on this American Dream. In conclusion, Peter Jackson directed and decided to do a remake of a 1930 classic, King Kong. The question that is in the back of everyone's mind is why remake King Kong? After all, is there anyone on this planet who doesn't know how the story ends? The next question is why vote for Malachi Lane? The answer is that I will fight for justice, peace, more pay, less crime, less pollution, better schools, and less homework. I am telling you all how my story will end. At the end, King Kong died fighting and protecting what he loved and believed in. Malachi Lane will fight until the end, because I believe in you.
By the way, Mr. Lane made A+***********

Korean Air says sales up but delays profit report
SEOUL, South Korea - SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Korean Air, South Korea's biggest airline, said Wednesday first quarter sales grew strongly on better passenger and cargo business but surprised shareholders by postponing a report on whether it made a profit.
Korean Air Lines Co. was not ready to report earnings on the scheduled date Wednesday because taxes and some other items were not completed, said spokeswoman Lee Ji-hye. She said the result would likely be available in mid-May.
Delaying an earnings report is rare among major South Korean companies and it was unclear what it might indicate about the airline's financial health. Most companies announce on schedule, though Hyundai Motor Co. has delayed reports in the past.
Korean Air said revenue surged 14.8 percent over a year earlier to 2.6 trillion won ($2.3 billion) in the three months ended March 31. The carrier suffered a loss of 526.3 billion won in the same period of 2009 but rebounded to profit for the rest of the year.
Investors appeared to shrug off the delay in reporting earnings, sending Korean Air shares 0.3 percent higher to close at 69,200 won after the airline's morning announcement.
"It's not unheard of," Hino Lam, an airline analyst at Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, said of the delay.
"I'm sure they have a number" that will be released, he said.
Korean Air's Lee said that the company had received no complaints from investors and analysts "as revenue numbers neared predictions." She said it was the first time the company failed to report earnings on schedule.
Operating profit - seen as a direct indicator of business performance before taxes, dividends, asset sales and other items are figured into net profit or loss - surged more than 30 fold to 220.2 billion won in the first quarter from 6.6 billion won last year.
The carrier suffered six straight losing quarters as a dramatically weaker South Korean won increased the the burden of fuel costs and foreign currency debt before rebounding last year.
Korean Air said international passenger sales rose 50.9 percent to 1.3 trillion won in the latest quarter, while cargo revenue increased 33 percent to 864.3 billion won. The airline attributed a 22 percent gain in "premium class" passenger services to a strengthening global economy.
Fast-recovering economies in China and Southeast Asia helped boost travel demand on those routes by 16 percent and 27 percent, respectively, Korean Air said. A stronger South Korean currency boosted traffic from the airline's home market.
Korean Air said that it expects a positive year for the aviation industry in 2010 on gains in international passenger and cargo traffic as the global economy rebounds.
The company released no profit or sales forecasts but said it expects double-digit percentage growth in sales and cargo business this year. It cited demand overseas for South Korea high-tech products including liquid crystal displays, semiconductors and mobile phones, which often are shipped by air.
Korean Air flies passengers and cargo to 116 cities in 39 countries, including Beijing, Cairo, London, New York, Sao Paulo, Sydney, Tel Aviv and Tokyo.

Her Story is a bold and largely successful experiment in interactive crime fiction.
Rocksteady's gorgeous-looking third Arkham game refines its open-world format a bit and lets you drive a whole hell of a lot of Batmobile.
It's squid kids and ink blasting abound in Nintendo's exceptionally fun new online shooter.
Game »
consists of 3 releases.
Released Oct 23, 2007
A term that can refer to either games which feature 3D polygonal graphics but typically restrict gameplay and camera control to a 2D plane, or earlier games that attempted to simulate three-dimensional graphics without the use of 3D polygons.
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Backtracking is the act of navigating through previously explored areas, usually for the purpose of progressing in an objective-based adventure game. Players who are lost may also backtrack to reorient themselves.
Bats are small flying mammals. They may frequent caves or haunted houses.
A family of vampire hunters and the sworn enemies of Dracula. They are the main protagonists of the Castlevania franchise.
Not all bosses can handle the player by themselves. Many use waves of lesser enemies to fight for them while they rest, and some even let these minions do all the work.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
When you fight all of the bosses of the game at once. Can either be an optional mode, or it can be forced on you at the end of the game (see: Viewtiful Joe, Mega Man, Gunstar Heroes, etc).
A concept in games with multiple characters, a screen with pictures of all playable characters with the possibility of stat listings.
Christianity is a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. It is also the largest religion in the world.
The concept of a helpless female character in desperate need of rescuing by a male protagonist, in most cases from a villain, or from a form of impending doom.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
A headless horseman of Irish folklore. It is said to carry its own severed head, bearing a mischievous grin that reaches from one side of the face to the other.
The 2007 E3 Media & Business Summit took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on July 11-13.
Experience Points are part of a character advancement system commonly found in RPGs. These points are generally gained by defeating an enemy or completing a task.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
A plot device where the story appears to be heading to a conclusion, but in reality there's still more to the story. For example, just when you think you've saved the world, the true final threat reveals itself. Often appears in Japanese RPG and visual novel titles.
This concept is for games where the main playable character is female.
Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When players lose at a game, it is game over.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
Gravity is a physical phenomenon, specifically the mutual attraction between all objects in the universe. In a gaming setting, gravity determines the relationship between the player and the "ground," preventing the player or game objects from flying off into space, and hopefully acting in a predictable/realistic manner.
More effective than any hospital. These games let you heal damage; ranging from a black eye to a gunshot wound, just by having a snack.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
An indication of the amount of damage a character can sustain in game. The loss of all hit points results in the players death, or penalty.
Equines that go 'neigh' and tend to eat hay. Some are the stars of motion pictures. The truest of companions to many adventurers.
According to greek mythology, Hydra was a many-headed serpent; the offspring of Typhon and Echidna. For each head that got cut off, two new heads would grow in its place. It was eventually slain by Hercules.
A gameplay mechanic allowing players to store their items and freely carry them around.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.

Prep football: Immokalee's Marcellus, Henry, Naples' Anderson honored at Orlando camp
NAPLES - Two more members of the Immokalee High football team's heralded junior class are the latest to receive recognition in what's been an active offseason for the Indians.
At the National Underclassmen Combine's Five-Star Showcase in Orlando on Saturday, Jacky Marcellus was named the top running back while Kerby Henry was ranked second among offensive linemen. Both were invited to NUC's Ultimate 100 camp in Atlanta in June.
NUC runs a series of combines and camps for high school football players nationwide. The organization hosts five Ultimate 100 camps for its top 100 recruits from each region. Marcellus and Henry will be competing against the best prospects from the Southeast this summer.
Naples High sophomore Kilton Anderson was named the top underclassmen quarterback at the NUC camp. Anderson's honor came a week after being named the offensive most valuable player of a Football University camp in Tampa.
With four teammates already committed to BCS schools, Marcellus said his goal at the showcase was to make a name for himself like his Immokalee classmates have done.
"Nobody knows about me, so to be able to go up there and do my thing was really special," Marcellus said. "I've been training hard, so I went in there ready and I had confidence."
Rutgers is the only school to have offered Marcellus a scholarship, but the 5-foot-9, 175-pound running back hopes that changes in two weeks. Marcellus is going to Florida State's spring practice on March 23 and would love to pick up an offer from the Seminoles.
Henry, a three-year starter on Immokalee's offensive line, said he earned high marks for his technique. He doesn't have any college scholarship offers yet, but has been in contact with at least one Bowl Championship Series school.
"I went up there just to support Jacky, then all of the sudden I found myself competing," said the 6-foot, 285-pound Henry. "It was a wonderful experience. There were a lot of good players there."
Immokalee has drawn attention from media and recruiters nationwide because of the performance of its players at several events this offseason.
Four Indians attended the U.S. Army National Combine in San Antonio, Texas, in January. Lineman Deadrin Senat was named defensive MVP of the event as well as the Under Armour combine, which led to him committing to Florida State last month.
A week after the National Combine, defensive back Mackensie Alexander committed to Tennessee. Alexander recently was ranked as the 56th-best player in the Class of 2013 by recruiting website Rivals.com.
Also last month Immokalee quarterback Tshumbi Johnson and receiver Xavier Richardson, who attended the National Combine, committed to South Florida.
Recently linebacker Mackenro Alexander, Mackensie's twin brother, received an offer from Louisville, making him the sixth Indians junior to receive a BCS scholarship offer. Immokalee coach Jerrod Ackley said he has 10 players who have Division I offers at the moment.
All the Indians' commitments are verbal only. NCAA rules dictate that high school players cannot officially sign scholarship offers until February of their senior years.

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour
Title: Amy & Roger's Epic Detour
Author: Morgan Matson
KDL Description:
After the death of her father, Amy, a high school student, and Roger, a college freshman, set out on a carefully planned road trip from California to Connecticut, but wind up taking many detours, forcing Amy to face her worst fears and come to terms with her grief and guilt.
Amazon Description:
Amy Curry thinks her life sucks. Her mom decides to move from California to Connecticut to start anew—just in time for Amy's senior year. Her dad recently died in a car accident. So Amy embarks on a road trip to escape from it all, driving cross-country from the home she's always known toward her new life. Joining Amy on the road trip is Roger, the son of Amy's mother's old friend. Amy hasn't seen him in years, and she is less than thrilled to be driving across the country with a guy she barely knows. So she's surprised to find that she is developing a crush on him. At the same time, she's coming to terms with her father's death and how to put her own life back together after the accident. Told in traditional narrative as well as scraps from the road—diner napkins, motel receipts, postcards—this is the story of one girl's journey to find herself.

The flu has found its way into Royal Oaks Elementary -- as of last week 10 percent of the school's 600 plus students are out with an "influenza-like illness," according to school officials. Royal Oaks reported to the Minnesota Department of Health on Oct. 7 as is required when a school has more than five percent of their student population out sick. Several teachers are also out sick.
The city of Afton has had to pay $60,000 to GJ & M Development after a judicial order stated city staff failed to produce requested documents related to company's lawsuit against the city in a "timely fashion," city officials confirmed. City officials said they will appeal the order. Washington County District Judge Mary Hannon ordered the city to make the payment to Gordy Jarvis, who co-owns the company. Jarvis also owns the Afton House Inn. The lawsuit, file in 2007, claims a moratorium on downtown development that stopped Jarvis's proposed Afton Center project was illegally executed.
The public will have an opportunity to travel through the arts Friday, Oct. 16, with the "Passport to the Arts" concert from the local K & S Conservatory of Music at Five Oaks Church in Woodbury. K&S Conservatory executive director Chaz Fautch started planning a concert series several years ago as a way for the faculty to come together and showcase their talent for the students at the conservatory. "Everyone just kind of did their own thing," Fautch said.
The Afton City Council continued its wind turbine talk during a work session last month. During a Sept. 8 work session two experts in the field, Brian Ross from CR Planning and Sean Wagner from the architecture firm Meyer, Schere & Rockcastle, spoke to the council about wind turbines and turbine ordinances. "We need to hear how the community feels about this issue," Afton City Council member Bill Palmquist said. Ross shed some light on the specifics of turbines, such as the different types -- utility, small and micro -- and the height requirements for wind turbines.
Physical education teachers in District 833 have adapted a new teaching model that uses technology to help students better gauge their physical activity. As part of the $800,000 Physical Education Programs grant from the U.S. Department of Education that District received in July 2008, the district has purchased 600 heart rate monitors for use in the middle schools as a way to monitor the students physical activity and physical health.
Over the last 10 years, the students and staff at Woodbury High School have had a dear friend in an unlikely staff member -- the parking lot security guard.
Afton Town Square Park was alive with art and fun last weekend, Sept. 26-27, for the 31st annual Afton Art in the Park. Around 50 vendors, selling products ranging from homemade jellies and jams to jewelry to metal work to paintings, were on hand for the hundreds of people to walk around and enjoy. One vendor, Simply Nuts & More from excelsior, has been participating every year at the event because of the beautiful community and the fun atmosphere, said owner Sheila Johnston. "We've been coming every year," Johnston said.
Woodbury High School showed off their Royal pride during their homecoming last week, Sept. 21-25, with a variety of school spirit activities and events. Kicking off the week was the homecoming royalty coronation -- Profit Idowu took the crown for king, and Gina Bruno is this year's queen. Throughout the week students showed off their WHS school spirit by participating in a variety of different spirit days -- jersey day, 80's day, safari day and super hero day -- where students dressed up according to the theme.
In the coming weeks, Afton may be moving forward with a study into the feasibility of designing municipal wastewater services for downtown Afton. Currently, Afton functions under on-site wastewater treatment systems. The Afton City Council discussed the study and the proposals they received during a work session on Tuesday, Sept. 15 immediately preceding the regular meeting where it was also discussed.
The Afton City Council had to face the results of a lawsuit the city settled this summer at the council's Tuesday, Sept. 15 meeting when it voted to approve a co-pay and deductible of $114,702.88 to the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust now that the case developers had against the city has been settled. "We certainly knew that there were legal fees accruing in the defense of these lawsuits and only got the final numbers on the FOC lawsuit last week," Mayor Pat Snyder said. The lawsuit was settled in June after two years of litigation.

The Best and Worst Uniforms of All Time: The New York Yankees
Nov 12, 2010, 12:01 PM EDT
The Best: Wow, this is tough! Do I go with 1937? 1947? 1957? 1967? 1977? 1987? 1997? 2007? 2017? OK, that last one was merely speculative, but there you go. The point is: there are so many options!
The Yankees, obviously, know what looks good and how to stick with it. With the exception of an occasional patch, some updated fabrics, and differences in tightness and looseness depending on the fashion of the time, their uniform has been unchanged for 74 years. You don't mess with perfection, and the Yankees' uniform is perfect. In 20,000 years, when alien archeologists excavate the ruins of our planet and try to piece together the important aspects of our culture, they will find the Yankee uniform and hold it up as the ideal. It is baseball. And no matter how much you hate the Yankees, if you don't admit it, you're lying.
The Worst: This is all relative, of course. Pfun Pfact: they first put the interlocking "NY" on the uniforms in 1905, but it was an off–and-on thing for years thereafter, and didn't stick for good until 1936. Still, they never looked bad. Even in dark blue. Even without pinstripes. Though, I suppose, we have to pick one of those for the worst of all time, because the Yankees look freakin' weird without pinstripes.
Assessment: I have a personal, idiosyncratic favorite that is not the New York Yankees — we'll get to it on Monday — but you could put any ballplayer in history in a Yankees uniform and they'd look pretty damn spiffy. Even guys like David Wells.
- yankeesfanlen - Nov 12, 2010 at 12:07 PM
Thanks for doing the research. Literally 10 minutes ago I was almost going to look through the file to see if the Yankees have come up yet. Then I couldn't remember that they had ANY other majore variations.
So, like the team, you can't improve perfection, just keep working on the players. What would the FAT TOAD look like in Padres' yellow and brown? It staggers the imagination.
- heiniemanush - Nov 12, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Nothing idiosyncratic about the uniforms of the Detroit TIgers. They are the best.
- Craig Calcaterra - Nov 12, 2010 at 12:14 PM
Bingo. I guess "idiosyncratic" was the wrong word. Biased, maybe, because it's what I grew up with. Tigers' homies are the best ever, bar none.
- heiniemanush - Nov 12, 2010 at 12:25 PM
An elegant, classic uniform—it could even make Don Mossi look handsome. I kind of wish they kept their pre-90s road uniforms. Real old school drab.
- Mr. Furious - Nov 12, 2010 at 12:41 PM
The problem with the Tigers, though, is that they succumbed to the beer-league-softball-pullover-jerseys trend from '72-'84. Had they not done so, they'd be blemish-free. At least they only did that with their road jerseys, though.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Nov 12, 2010 at 12:14 PM
Love that picture of Wells. You should do a countdown of the best expressions on pitchers' faces in mid-delivery of all time
- sdelmonte - Nov 12, 2010 at 12:32 PM
I can hate the Yankees, but have to love the look. It's that simple.
Also have to give them credit for not even adding player names. Yeah, it's a little hard figuring out who the non-icons are sometimes, but it works so well without the name. Which is why those t-shirts with names and numbers seem wrong to me.
- billythekidinny - Nov 13, 2010 at 12:22 AM
There is ONE thing and one thing ONLY that I find faulty about the NYY uniform. That is tha digit/# 5. On the left side of the number five, the bottom of the vertical straight line makes an angular turn (which represents a curve). The only curve in the digit/number 5 is connected angularly (ninety degrees or less) to the vertical straight line part. It always looks wrong; double wrong when Hideki Matsui was on the team.

Press release from PR Newswire
J. C. Penney Company, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Financial Results
Friday, August 12, 2011
J. C. Penney Company, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Financial Results07:50 EDT Friday, August 12, 2011Second Quarter Highlights - Earnings of $0.07 per share - Growth initiatives, exclusive attractions and private brands continue to drive sales gains - Opened 22 Sephora inside jcpenney boutiques bringing total to 276 - Expenses tightly controlled during the quarter - Strong financial condition, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.6 billionPLANO, Texas, Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE: JCP) today reported net income of $14 million or $0.07 per share for the second quarter ended July 30, 2011, including previously announced restructuring charges. The Company's exclusive and private brands such as Liz Claiborne®, Modern Bride®, Arizona® and St. John's Bay®, as well as the expansion of Sephora inside jcpenney attracted new customers to jcpenney, resulting in 1.5 percent comparable store sales growth for the second quarter and 2.7 percent same store sales growth for the first half of the year. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110222/DA51975LOGO)"The challenging economy continues to impact the moderate consumer," said Myron E. (Mike) Ullman, III, chairman and chief executive officer. "Nevertheless, we have made significant strides in implementing our merchandising growth initiatives, with sales gains across our apparel and accessories businesses both in stores and on jcp.com. Through our focus on building attractions, improving sales productivity in stores, managing expenses and streamlining operations, we are committed to delivering on the Company's long-term earnings targets."Second Quarter PerformanceComparable store sales for the second quarter rose 1.5 percent. Total sales decreased 0.8 percent, reflecting the Company's exit from its catalog business. Internet sales through jcp.com were $326 million in the second quarter, increasing 2.8 percent over last year. Overall, the strongest merchandise results in the period were in women's apparel and accessories and fine jewelry. Geographically, the best performance was in the southwest region of the country. When compared to the peak margins achieved in last year's second quarter, gross margin decreased approximately 110 basis points to 38.3 percent of sales reflecting the softer than anticipated selling environment early in the quarter and the resulting higher level of promotional activity. Gross margin decreased $55 million, or approximately 3.5 percent, compared to last year's second quarter. Overall, SG&A expenses were tightly controlled during the quarter and decreased $32 million, or 2.5 percent, versus last year as the Company's ongoing efforts to aggressively manage expenses and optimize operations delivered savings during the quarter. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 60 basis points to 31.8 percent. The non-cash qualified pension plan expense was $21 million compared to $55 million in the same period last year. Total operating expenses were 36.2 percent of sales for the quarter. Operating income for the quarter was $81 million or 2.1 percent of sales. Financial ConditionThe Company ended the second quarter with approximately $1.6 billion in cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet, even after the completion of its $900 million share repurchase program early in the second quarter. Interest expense for the quarter was the same as last year at $57 million. The Company also noted that it is comfortable with the level and content of its inventory, as it is in line with expected sales trends, and up approximately 2.3% over last year. OutlookThe Company's 2011 third quarter guidance is as follows:Comparable store sales: expected to increase 2 to 3 percent.Total sales: expected to increase approximately 250 basis points less than comparable store sales due to the impact of the Company's exit of its catalog and related businesses.Gross margin rate: expected to be down slightly when compared to last year.SG&A expenses: expected to be flat to down slightly.Depreciation and amortization: approximately $135 million.Real Estate and Other: net $11 million of expense, including expenses related to restructuring and other cost saving initiatives.Interest expense: approximately $57 million.Income tax rate: approximately 38 percent.Average shares for EPS calculation: approximately 216 million common shares.Earnings per share: expected to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.20 per share, including restructuring charges of approximately $0.05 per share. This guidance does not include the impact of the Company's voluntary early retirement program that was communicated to associates this month. The Company anticipates it will disclose the number of associates who elect to participate in the program as well as the operational efficiencies resulting from the program as part of the Company's third quarter earnings release.Conference Call/Webcast DetailsManagement will host a live conference call and real-time webcast today, Aug. 12, 2011, beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET.

C. PENNEY COMPANY, INC.Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures(Unaudited)(Amounts in millions)FREE CASH FLOWFree cash flow is a key financial measure of our ability to generate additional cash from operating our business and in evaluating our financial performance. We define free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities excluding discretionary cash contributions to our primary pension plan, less capital expenditures and dividends paid, plus the proceeds from the sale of assets. Adjustments to exclude discretionary pension plan contributions are more indicative of our ability to generate cash flows from operating activities. We believe discretionary contributions to our pension plan are more reflective of financing transactions to pay-down off- balance sheet debt relating to the pension liability. Free cash flow is a relevant indicator of our ability to repay maturing debt, both on and off-balance sheet, revise our dividend policy or fund other uses of capital that we believe will enhance stockholder value. Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC. Free cash flow is limited and does not represent remaining cash flow available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct payments required for debt maturities, pay-down of off-balance sheet pension debt, and other obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, it is important to view free cash flow in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, our entire statement of cash flows and those measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.The following table reconciles cash flow from operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure:Six months endedJuly 30,July 31,20112010Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities $ 172$ (379)Add:Discretionary pension contribution-392Proceeds from sale of assets-4Less:Capital expenditures(295)(229)Dividends paid(92)(94)Free cash flow (non-GAAP)$ (215)$ (306)SOURCE J.

27 year old woman | Apopka, FL, USA | Seeking men 28-35 within 50 miles
Either you are or you are not.
This life we live is full of surprises and very full of interesting individuals. I'm interested in meeting someone that is ready for a companion, long term relationship, best friend, lover and soul mate. A MAN that is ready to look forward to the future. A man who knows what he wants and takes a hold when he sees it in front of him. Deal brakers : No car No job No ambition Abusive Does not like animals Me: I'm industrious, direct, forward thinker, independent, single women, who loves life and adventure. Im ambitous, I love being outside, going to the movies, road trips when time allows, learning new things, cooking, being spontaneous, being with my horses and making people happy! No im not perfect :-) I dont mind getting my hands dirty, then turning around and dressing up. When I love I love. I give my all. I only want it in return. I'm ready for the next chapter in my life. Of course it has to start with being friends but the guy I meet definitely has to have the qualities I'm looking for to pursue anything further. Attraction is key. But personality, stability (for yourself), ambitious, communication, honesty, loyal, caring, humorous, good listener, being adaptabil and direct. All in all actions speak louder then any words or description could ever provide. The truth of learning and getting to know someone is all within time and interactions.
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs, Horses

using visual arts. The means for encouraging harmonious interaction and
effective communication is through mural projects that have no end date leaving
them in a perpetual state of evolution. This project is based on three beliefs:

Call for papers: Peace education from the grassroots01/30/2012
Saybrook students are invited to submit an abstract for consideration in an upcoming publication on peace education. The finished volume will be published by Information Age Press as part of its peace education series.
The end of the twentieth century marked the beginning of an upsurge of interest in peace education. Starting in the 1950s, as exemplified in the United States with the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE), concerned citizens at the grassroots level developed peace education strategies to inform others about the dangers of violence and the need for peace. They mobilized to stop the build up of nuclear arms, to oppose the war in Vietnam, to cease support for cruel dictatorships, to support human rights, to endorse environmental sustainability, and to promote nonviolence. These campaigns. sprung up out of the hearts and minds of ordinary people concerned about their own welfare and the future of "Mother Earth."
These grassroots peace education efforts throughout the globe teach children and adults how to live sustainably and how to resolve conflicts nonviolently. Ordinary citizens, parents, teachers, and community organizers become spiritual agents who initiate peace education programs that have contributed to the end of the war in Vietnam, disillusionment about nuclear power and weapons, regime change in places as diverse as Tunisia, Argentina, the Philippines, and Serbia, the preservation of ecosystems, the development of human rights, truth and reconciliation commissions, and the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Some of these peace education efforts took place entirely within civic society organized by community-based organizations. Some were directed towards churches and religious organizations. Others struggled to gain access to formal education systems. As a result of these efforts there are now over 300 colleges and universities around the world that have peace studies programs; schools in El Salvador, Uganda, the Philippines, and Nepal include peace education in their curricula; and schools throughout the world have adopted a variety of peacemaking strategies that teach violence prevention techniques to children and reduce violence and hostility on campuses.

How Technological Justice Can Fight Global Poverty01/26/2012
Simon Trace is the CEO of the international development charity Practical Action, which works to help poor people in the developing world use technology to transform their lives.
Human development has gone hand-in-hand with technical change. Technology (defined for these purposes as both knowledge and tools) enables people to achieve well-being with less effort and drudgery, or at lower cost and with fewer resources. Technical innovation is essential for people to be able to make more effective use of the resources available to them and to respond to social, economic and environmental changes.
For those of us lucky enough to live today in one of the so-called "developed nations," modern technology is so woven into the fabric of our daily lives that we barely notice how dependent we are on it. But remove even just one simple strand and things start to unravel very quickly, as a simple thought experiment demonstrates.
The Tech Disparity
Try to replay the first two hours of your day after getting out of bed on a cold, dark winter's morning in your mind. Then repeat the exercise imagining how you would have fared if you did not have an electricity or gas supply to your house, your neighborhood or your place of work. That's how a third of humanity lives. One hundred and thirty-two years after Edison introduced the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb, 1.3 billion people are still living in darkness, with no access to electricity, and 2.7 billion still cook over open fires. Clearly we have a problem ensuring well-established technologies are made available to all who need them.
Ruth Richards, students, and alumni of Saybrook's Creatitivy Studies program featured in journal01/25/2012
I was honored to be asked by Cheryl Fracasso and Harris Friedman to contribute to a special Leaders and Mentors issue of Neuroquantology. What a great way to highlight Creativity at Saybrook, and our new programs, I thought! The attached article is called Creativity Revisited.
As per the format, I did need to say a few things about my own curious background and path, and added some useful research findings on creativity and mental health. But I then switched to Saybrook, the development of our Creativity programs, and colorful figures such as Stan Krippner, and Steve Pritzker.
The best part of all was when I got all of ten (10) Saybrook students/alums to write about their own experience, their own work with creativity, and their own visions for the future. Clearly this (the last half) is the best part! Judith Kolva, Ph.D., Alumna who just did the wonderful memoir for Saybrook's 40th anniversary, edited this last part, and put in her own amazing story.
Denita Benyshek (who is almost done with her doctorate!) decided to write her own piece for Neuroquantology, which I hope you will see later on--along with her own original artwork.
See what you think (PDF). Oh yes, there are stunning photos of these 10 Saybrook graduate students/alums, including Judith. Are Saybrook Creativity graduate students naturally good looking? Seems so :-)

Saybrook doctoral candidate selected as upcoming conference presenter01/24/2012
Robert Jackson-Paton has been chosen as a presenter at the upcoming White Privilege Conference, occurring March 28-31 in Albuquerque, NM. The theme of the conference is Intersectionality: Vision, Commitment, and Sustainable Partnerships.
He will facilitate a workshop entitled Settlement Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Covered Wagon.
As with White privilege, invisible benefits—to Whites—accrue to White settlers through the ongoing occupation of Indigenous territories taken through a variety of dishonest means, and the transmission of that conquest through generations to the present day. The subsequent access to resources, land, wealth, education, and so on manifests as both White and settlement privilege. Environmentalism as a settler narrative will be a focus of discussion. Detailed analysis, personal narratives, as well as various interactive exercises will be provided to initiate the decolonization of White settlers in the United States, and begin conversations toward collective and individual healing.
Additionally, Jackson-Paton will be leading an all-day institute - along with Saybrook Professor Jürgen Kremer and David Raymond - on the topic Facing Collective Shadows: Accounting for and Healing from White Settlement.
In this experientially grounded workshop participants will begin to face, account for, and heal from the collective shadows of White settlement in the United States. Individual and group healing exercises will be initiated and reflected upon through a variety of ways of knowing, including but not limited to the arts, movement, and mindfulness-based practices. Particular attention will be given to making connections between the conquest of First Nations (Indigenous Peoples) and ongoing White and settlement privilege in order to facilitate deep self-reflection, self-exploration and collective transformation. Conversations will include decolonization strategies for Whites, the intergenerational transmission of the trauma of settlement, cultural identities connecting Whiteness and settlement, creating ceremonial protocols for collective and individual healing, as well as the possibilities of reclaiming relationships with nature, people and society.
Prior to attending and presenting at the White Privilege Conference, Jackson-Paton has been selected to participate in Healing Historical Harms, February 6-7 at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA. This training presents tools that assist in analyzing the legacies and aftermaths of historical trauma. The approach includes comprehensive strategies and practices for addressing historical trauma.

A New Haven woman already facing charges in a Nelson County murder case was to be arraigned Wednesday on three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment in LaRue District Court.
Jennifer Nichols, 32, of Edlin Hill Road, was scheduled to be in the LaRue court Jan. 6 but court officials learned she had been indicted for first-degree burglary and complicity by a Nelson County grand jury and was being held in the Nelson County Detention Center.
Lester Pearsall has had a love for trains ever since Santa brought a Lionel set to him and his brother when he was a 6-year-old kid growing up in Valley Station.
It was a trip to the Kentucky Railway Museum for his 50th birthday three years ago, however, that rekindled the Mt. Sherman resident's love for life on the rails.
"They let me ride in the cab of the locomotive, and, it was a blast," Pearsall said. "I was hooked."
Times are tough.
The recession – some economists say depression – continues across the country with high unemployment and foreclosure rates.
Locally, however, glimmers of returning prosperity have appeared.
LaRue County's unemployment rate fell three percentage points between October and November.
LaRue County road crews spread about 130 tons of salt during the recent snow and cold spell, Timmy Brown, county road supervisor, told magistrates meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville Jan. 12.
"That's almost three times what we would have used if temperatures would have risen above freezing," he said. Brown said he has another 150 tons ordered.
He also reported his crews have started removing the fence line and trees along Brooks Road to improve driver visibility and provide more sunlight on the road.
Clinton Eric Wirth, 36, was sentenced to 10 years after being found guilty Jan. 6 of first-degree trafficking in controlled substance (cocaine); first-degree possession of cocaine; trafficking in marijuana, less than eight ounces; possession of marijuana; and use or possession of drug paraphernalia in LaRue Circuit Court.
Nine years of the sentence was suspended on condition of several conditions. He was credited for 16 days served and fined $185.
A bench warrant has been issued for a Sonora man who has missed two scheduled appearances in LaRue Circuit Court.
Bryan Eric Henderson, 23, of Maple Avenue, was charged with first-degree assault in August after allegedly stabbing a Hodgenville man in the back with a pocketknife. The alleged victim suffered a puncture wound to the lung.
Henderson appeared in LaRue District Court in August and entered a not guilty plea.
However, he has missed both circuit court summons since his indictment by a grand jury in November.
A forum for students, staff, parents and the community is planned to address questions and collect opinions on a potential Laptops of LaRue - 21st Century Learning Initiative. This will be a discussion about pros and cons of providing laptop computers to high school students.
The forum will be held 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19, at Hodgenville Elementary School. No action will be taken at this forum.

Researchers from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) Sustainable Bioenergy Centre (BSBEC) have discovered a family of genes that could help us breed grasses with improved properties for diet and bioenergy.
The research was carried out by a team from the University of Cambridge and Rothamsted Research, which receives strategic funding from BBSRC. Their findings are published today (Tuesday 17 Jan) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
The genes are important in the development of the fibrous, woody parts of grasses, like rice and wheat. The team hopes that by understanding how these genes work, they might for example be able to breed varieties of cereals where the fibrous parts of the plants confer dietary benefits or crops whose straw requires less energy-intensive processing in order to produce biofuels.
The majority of the energy stored in plants is contained within the woody parts, and billions of tons of this material are produced by global agriculture each year in growing cereals and other grass crops, but this energy is tightly locked away and hard to get at. This research could offer the possibility of multi-use crops where the grain could be used for food and feed and the straw used to produce energy efficiently. This is crucial if we are to ensure that energy can be generated sustainably from plants, without competing with food production.
Professor Paul Dupree, of the University of Cambridge, explains "Unlike starchy grains, the energy stored in the woody parts of plants is locked away and difficult to get at. Just as cows have to chew the cud and need a stomach with four compartments to extract enough energy from grass, we need to use energy-intensive mechanical and chemical processing to produce biofuels from straw.
"What we hope to do with this research is to produce varieties of plants where the woody parts yield their energy much mo
