Sarah Palin's new book has a title, "America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag," and a release date, Nov. 23, publisher HarperCollins announced Tuesday.
The Alaska ex-governor and former GOP vice presidential candidate, whose memoir "Going Rogue" has sold more than 2 million copies, has been working on a tribute to American values.
It will include "selections from classic and contemporary readings that have moved her," according to HarperCollins, along with "the nation's founding documents to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography, and even some of her favorite songs and movies."
The book is inspired not only by her "strong belief in the importance of family, faith, and patriotism," but by some of the people she met last year while promoting "Going Rogue." Palin skipped major cities such as Seattle and Los Angeles, traditional stops on most author tours, and instead focused on smaller communities more receptive to her conservative message.
"The book will also include portraits of some of the extraordinary men and women she admires and who embody her deep love of country, her strong rootedness in faith, and her profound love and appreciation of family," the statement from HarperCollins reads.
HarperCollins spokeswoman Tina Andreadis said Palin will likely tour for "America By Heart," but added that details were still being arranged. The book will have a first printing of 1 million copies — the initial run for "Going Rogue" was 1.5 million — and a list price of $25.99.
As with "Going Rogue," Palin will have a collaborator, but there are "no specifics to announce yet," Andreadis said. Conservative author Lynn Vincent worked with Palin on her memoir.
While the e-book for "Going Rogue" came out several weeks after the hardcover, the digital edition for "America By Heart" will be available at the same time.
Before the release last month of Apple's iPad, HarperCollins and other publishers had worried that the $9.99 charged for best-sellers on Amazon.com's Kindle reader was too low and would hurt hardcover sales. Publishers have more control over pricing under the sales model negotiated with Apple, with some e-books costing $12.99 to $14.99 when first released.

The U.S. Declared War On Veteran Homelessness — And It Actually Could Win
Under the deafening highway noise of the Pontchartrain Expressway in central city New Orleans, Ronald Engberson, 54, beds down for the night.

How New Jersey Tamed The Wild Blueberry For Global Production
In most cases, we don't know who, exactly, tamed those plants. We don't know which inventive farmer, thousands of years ago, first selected seeds and planted them for food.
The blueberry, though, is different. We know exactly who brought it in from the wild, and where.
It happened in the pine barrens of New Jersey.
This land is called barren for a reason.

Seattle wants to shut down all of the hookah lounges in the city because of ongoing violence near the clubs.

Glenn McGrath set to start work as consultant at MRF pace foundation
New Delhi: Legendary Australian pacer Glenn McGrath is all set to join the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai as its bowling consultant.
"On the way to Chennai for my first stint at the MRF Pace Foundation. Looking forward to it but missing @saramcgrath11 & the kids already," McGrath tweeted on Thursday.
"Haven`t arrived in Chennai yet. Sitting in Singapore airport waiting for my flight," he wrote on his twitter handle.
The Aussie will succeed compatriot Dennis Lillee, who had been involved with the academy for the last 25 years since its inception in 1987.
McGrath, who retired at the end of the 2007 World Cup that Australia won, was holidaying in Hawaii with his wife and kids.
"Spent an incredible 2 weeks with @saramcgrath11 & the kids in Hawaii. Weather was perfect everyday. Very well rested now back to work!!" added the pacer
Nicknamed Pigeon, McGrath is fourth in the all-time list of Test wicket-takers after spinners Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble.
McGrath, 42, has himself trained at the MRF Foundation. The New South Welshman was among the first batch of trainees sent by the Australian Cricket Academy to tutor under Lillee in 1992, a year before he made his international debut.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 more successful than Avatar and Harry Potter
The latest game in the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is officially the fastest selling entertainment product of all time. After release, it hit $1 billion worth of sales in 16 days, beating records held by Avatar and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two.
Each of those movies also made $1 billion in just over two weeks, although it took them 17 days, one day longer than the Activision Blizzard game. The title had also broken some records by taking $400 million in less than 24 hours after launch.
Modern Warfare 3 is the last part in developer Infinity Ward's FPS trilogy, and while some gamers have criticised its longevity, that hasn't stopped it selling in bucket loads globally. Indeed, it beat the previous title to be released under the Call of Duty umbrella in sales by some distance. Black Ops took almost two months to hit the $1 billion mark.
Certainly, publisher Activision Blizzard no longer sees its record-breaking IP as just a games franchise - citing that it holds its own alongside other massive entertainment icons: "Call of Duty as an entertainment franchise has made an indelible mark on popular culture," said Bobby Kotick, the company's CEO. "Call of Duty is now amongst that rarified group of sustained franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the National Football League that attract or engage tens of millions of people every year or every new release."
It is not known yet where the Call of Duty series will go next, with Infinity Ward refusing to rule out a return to World War II. But you can be sure that there'll definitely be another instalment, considering the cash flying about.
Is Modern Warfare 3's position as fastest selling entertainment release warranted? Let us know in the comments below...

I need to know what time should i get there, how long the lines are, and what to expect. What should i bring? I am comming with two eight year olds. I need help please! Im in a panic
It will crazy packed, most schools in America closed for xmas vacation this week so dont be suprised how much families are there.
"Walt Disney World may have more than Disneyland, but Disneyland has quality, and quality triumphs over quantity" -DL_CRAZE
Being this saturday is the first saturday of the winter break, expect some heavy crowds.
I hope i dont have to wait in line for like two hours
SoCal AP's are blocked out so that should help a bit with the crowds.
It would be best if you were there at opening, however.
No rides/attractions should have 2 hour lines. Most likely, the longest lines will be an hour and most likely that will be the Nemo submarines and Space Mountain, maybe even Indy.
Do bring some snacks and some bottles of water with you. It may be a bit colder at night so some jackets or sweaters as well.
It sounds as if this might be your first visit? (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). If you feel you need to bring even more than that, there are lockers that you can rent.
Have fun!
First of all it's a Saturday so it will be packed.
Second lines shouldn't be that bad...with Fast pass you shouldn't have any problems. Disneyland Space Mountain, Indy, Haunted Mansion Holiday, Splash Mountain, BLAB, Big Thunder Mountain are RECOMMENDED. Roger Rabbit is a freebie for example if you get a fast pass at Disneyland for any attraction...you will be able to get a fast pass for Roger Rabbit...because the fast pass machine is a independent machine meaning it can't read if you already have a fast pass available. Watch the Believe…In Holiday Magic firework show…around the castle or Rivers of America for bubble snow. DCA- Soarin', Screamin', GRR & TOT are RECOMMENDED. Aladdin the Musical and Pixar Play Parade is a must see.
Third get to the park early...start collecting fast passes as soon as you get the park. Also Fantasyland is a MUST at opening...for shorter waiting time. Later in the day lines will be longer. In the evening Peter Pan is usually a 40-60 minute wait. Mr. Toad...30 minutes wait Dumbo...40 minutes wait.
Lastly if a third Fantasmic! is announced then it's very busy.
"You are watching FOX"
Double post, sorry!
"You are watching FOX"
VERY crowded (might get super extra crowded around 5pm-ish). I suggest the you get in the park early like ryt wen it opens. Get FastPasses. Also for the kids have them bring their DS or PSP or anything that they can play with so that they will not get bored in line.
Have fun!
There are tons of fish in the sea... you just gotta find your NEMO!
most of the crowding happens after noon and the later it gets the more packed it gets. By night it will probably be grid lock in most areas.
It should actually be pretty nice. Don't be shocked if it's actually empty. I'd say Saturday/Sunday, with SoCals blocked, plus the fact people want to rest after working/schooling all month, would equal light crowds. The crowds will pick up monday and only go up from there.
Today will be hell though (we're going)
With the SoCal APs blocked out there is a good chance for a lighter day at the park. That being said a lighter day at Disneyland doesn't mean empty. There will be lines (oh yes, there will be lines) but they shouldn't be too bad. I'm heading out there tomorrow myself and I'm not too worried about it.

Tech News & Commentary
The adage that video killed the radio star appears to be untrue, at least when considering Yahoo's (YHOO) CEO on a quarterly conference calls with Wall Street analysts.
Yahoo on Tuesday became the first company that I can think of — please let me know if there are others — to put its CEO and CFO in front of a camera to talk about quarterly earnings results.
CEO Marissa Mayer and CFO Ken Goldman read their scripts as though they were newscasters, sitting behind a glass-topped desk and talking directly to the camera. You might have expected them to throw to the weather guy, but instead they just took questions from analysts. Mayer posted a pre-air photo on her Tumblr blog.
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. Getty Images View Enlarged Image
Yahoo's video effort is part of a trend that's expanding on the traditional Q&A conference phone call with analysts. In Q1, real estate data company Zillow (Z)executives answered questions from people via Twitter and Facebook (FB). Netflix (NFLX) will on Monday also take questions via social networks. The SEC in April updated guidance that lets companies post material information on social networks, a move that seems to have spurred some of those changes.
For Yahoo's video trial, results appear to be stellar.
That's not to say Yahoo's actual results were stellar. They weren't. The stagnant Internet giant's results were mixed, with an adjusted EPS beat and an unexpected dip in revenue. But investors pushed Yahoo's stock 10.4% higher on Wednesday, the day after the earnings release/webcast. Yahoo's stock hasn't traded this high since May 2008.
The rise in the stock price may very well be the result of increased investor confidence in the company's strategy and management team. But the video may have played some small part in the rise.
How so?
Well, as Business Insider's Henry Blodget pointed out via Twitter, it was a sort of "get to know management" opportunity.
Even during the conference call, the video seemed to be adding some levity to what often is a pretty dull exchange of rehearsed jargon. Barclays Capital analyst Anthony DiClemente couldn't help but mention that he could now figure out whether Mayer and Goldman were being 100% truthful in their responses. Tough question on conference calls sometimes are met with a few seconds of uneasy silence — but now analysts can see the executives' faces during those seconds.
"Well, now we could try and read the expression on your face on the video stream," DiClemente joked, "so we will try and do that. Thanks a lot."
CFO Goldman said it was "actually a lot of fun to be experimenting with a new format."
There was another reason for the webcast. As Mayer said last night: Yahoo plans to invest heavily in video. What better way to show that the company is serious about that investment than by posting some live video.
Goldman said it was the "first" such live stream, which one might take to mean that Yahoo will be doing video webcasts in future quarters. Yahoo on Wednesday didn't respond to a request for further comment.

The outlook on Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) remains positive despite still-soaring expenses and guidance for continued slowing growth.

The Alabama Bookstop Remembered By 14-year Employee John Cramer
Cramer did have brushes with fame there. Both Sterling Morrison (of the Velvet Underground) and Jandek were regulars, as were Billy Gibbons and Rudy T, and Ozzy Osbourne came in one night. "I think he was a vegetarian at the time, so he came in after going to Whole Foods," Cramer says. "He bought a book on genocide and another on venereal disease. He said the book on V.D. was for his daughter and was for informational purposes only, and he wanted everyone to know that although the book on genocide was for him, he was not a Nazi."
Lesser-known customers also made some memorable visits. One night one customer stabbed another with a pair of scissors. Another night Cramer encountered a homeless man talking on the lobby's pay phone. Or trying to - he was holding the receiver upside down, and gabbling into the earpiece. Cramer tried to intervene. "The guy kept giving me the 'hold on' finger," he says. "And then I heard him say 'I just want to speak to Ty Cobb.'"

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
24 Dec 2009 12:55 GMT
Some disappointed gift-givers had instead handed the gifts to presidential staff, Ayariga said.
War on corruption
Mills took office in January, pledging a "relentless war" against corruption.
However, his present-snubbing has not been appreciated by everyone.
James Agbagana, a traditional chief, warned that the president was going too far and that he could ruin the Ghanaian tradition of hospitality.
Vitus Azeem, the head of Ghana Integrity Initiative, the local chapter of Transparency International, said the president's actions would do little to stem corruption among fellow government officials.
"His campaign would have been more meaningful if he had given out specific directives to his ministers and other top officials to also turn away the hampers and the goats driven to their homes and offices," said Azeem.

Senior Scholar Jeff Schloss Reviews "Faith vs. Fact" by Jerry Coyne in The Washington Post
Jeff Schloss argues that Jerry Coyne's elevation of "fact" over "faith" is based in a misunderstanding of both science and religion.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Jeff Schloss argues that Jerry Coyne's elevation of "fact" over "faith" is based in a misunderstanding of both science and religion.
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
Ninety years is a long time, and so much has changed all over the world. But have the cultural perceptions about science and religion changed since the Scopes Trial in 1925?
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.
Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical has stirred international conversation on how science and faith come together on the question of ecology and climate change. This short series features several responses from friends of BioLogos, including world-renowned Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. The series concludes with closing thoughts by BioLogos content manager Jim Stump.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Interview with Bill Nye and follow-up thoughts from president Haarsma.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Studying the basis of life's design cannot meaningfully be separated from the character of the One responsible for it. By living in relationship with him through whom all things were created and in whom all things have their being, we experience the purpose and meaning with which this universe is infused.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.

In the Middle East, the middle class is grumpy. And if the mass protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square and Tunisia's Habib Bourguiba Avenue over the past year haven't made that clear, a survey of the people who make up the region's soccer moms and middle managers articulates their angst in ways rallies often fail.Less than a third of the people surveyed in the three Middle East and North African (MENA) countries of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Morocco said they are "extremely satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their current economic situation, according to the poll conducted by consulting firm Booz & Co. Respondents who said they were "not at all satisfied" and only "slightly satisfied" reached 48%.The survey comes at a time when the region's leaders – both those who have come to power on the back of Arab Spring protests and those who are trying to head them off – are grappling with how to steer their countries to greater prosperity and freedom. So far, they are stumbling, with most of the region's economies reeling from political upheaval and the transition to democracy proceeding slowly, if at all."There has never been a more critical time for policymakers in the Middle East to focus on empowering the region's sizable—and politically significant—middle class," Richard Shediac, Samer Bohsali and Hatem Samman, the authors of the report said. "There is a dire need for change, via a set of economic, social, and political policies aimed at developing a large, dynamic, and sustainable middle class."Compared to the West, MENA's middle class is both undersized and understudied. Indeed, Booz had to develop its own parameters for defining its parameters, which it settled on as families with incomes between 75% and 150% of each country's median. Turning that into dollar terms, that works out to an annual household income of as little as $23 a day in Morocco to $149 at the upper end for wealthy Saudi Arabia.Middle class views on their economic situation vary widely from country to country, according to the poll.To Moroccans, economic conditions have not changed markedly over the past five years, while Egyptians are the most dissatisfied with the present situation. Saudis, whose economy is booming on the back of high oil prices, overwhelmingly rate their cur rent economic status favorably.MENA's middle class is different than its peers in Europe and North America. Booz said it produces fewer entrepreneurs and therefore is less a source of economic growth. That is because the public sector is the main employer of the middle class rather than the private sector.In Saudi Arabia and Egypt, for example, small and medium-sized businesses account for between 25% and 38% of employment, respectively, compared with 55% in the US, and 60% in Germany.The survey gives some insight into why: 44% rated "having a secure job" as their most important factor in choosing an occupation while only 3% ranked "participating in new business venture" as so important.Despite relying on it, employer trust in government is low. Less than a third of the middle class gives it a passing grade for disclosing adequate and accurate information, fighting corruption or having a fair and open court system. This figure is below 10% in Morocco. Less than a fifth of the MENA middle class trust their country's court systemThe poll also found that the middle class feels the educational system is performing poorly. More than half said it fails to provide opportunities for them or for their children, in terms of work. Nevertheless, More than 80% claim to save money for their children's education, up to a 10th of their monthly income in some cases.An average of 57% percent for all three countries said that their salary covers basic expenses, with a little for extras. Between 27% and 30% are barely able to make ends meet, while 3% said they could not even do that.When they have free time, MENA's middle class prefer shopping malls, restaurants, and amusement parks to nightclubs, pubs or museums. Saudis preferences are, of course, limited since movie theaters and nightclubs are banned in the country, but in Morocco where they are permitted, only 19% go to them. Egyptians are heavy cinema goers, with 60% saying they buy tickets. Nearly 100% of the middle class claims to watch television every day"To many Westerners, these forms of entertainment may seem superficial and limiting. Yet surprisingly, middle class respondents report overall contentment with their entertainment options." the report said.Nevertheless, half of MENA's middle class claims to be satisfied with their entertainment and cultural offerings, and in Saudi Arabia that number rises to 70%, with the highest rating among women. "One explanation for this disparity is that people cannot miss something they have never experienced," the report suggests, noting that foreign travel among the region's middle class is not that common.In spite of the current pessimism, a surprising number of middle class people remain bullish about the future, Booz found. About 70 percent have a positive outlook for the economy over the next five years, especially in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. If only 5% said they are "extremely satisfied" with the economic conditions today, 29% said they expected it to be "much better" five years from now.

Sleep-deprived Monster drink trucker mistaken for bomber
The cops say Beant Singh Gill was sleepy. Maybe he should have cracked a Monster
Photo: jontintinjordan
Evidently Beant Singh Gill, of British Columbia, doesn't speak much English. And he drives a semi-trailer when he hasn't had enough sleep.
Erratically, too, according to police. Which is how the 44-year-old driver and his rig came to be speeding down a rural Wisconsin highway from Tomah to west of Sparta, tailed by a posse of state troopers on Thursday.
Tire spikes eventually brought the truck to a halt. A bomb-sniffing dog hit on the rig. The driver refused to get out of the cab; when he finally did, the cops unloaded a few rounds of non-lethal bullets and he scrambled back behind the driver seat.
So the Madison bomb squad got called in; robot, guys in big green suits, the whole shebang. The road was closed down. Homes were evacuated. The back of the truck was opened up, and ... nothing. Just a semi-trailer filled with palettes of Monster energy drink.
A translator was brought in from Fort McCoy; Gill turned out to be an Indian who speaks Punjabi. They figured out he picked up his load in the Twin Cities and was headed for Canada. How he got lost in Monroe County is a bit of a mystery. But he's in jail now, charged with reckless driving and fleeing an officer.
Monroe County Sheriff Dennis Pedersen told the LaCrosse Tribune it was a long and expensive day that he's putting down to a language barrier and a driver who "seemed quite sleep-deprived."

Now that the presumptive nominees are getting ready to do battle for the presidency, their wives are also subject to increasing scrutiny by the press and public. Here, Cindy McCain takes a moment to endure the (soft focus) glare of ABC News cameras and answer softball questions about her husband's stance on women's rights and whether she'd feel safe with Barack Obama as president.

It's rare that a completely new character is my main reason for reading a comic, but here we are. I was hooked from the moment Matt Fraction and Mike Allred's FF team was announced. I haven't traditionally cared so much about Ant-Man, but She-Hulk has always been one of my favorite characters, and Medusa's powers are so kooky I can't help but dig her. What pushed the comic into my pre-order list, though, was the idea of a woman wearing a Thing costume and calling herself "Miss Thing." And now that I know something about her, I love her even more.
Darla Deering is a pop superstar and Johnny Storm's latest girlfriend. All you really have to know is the last half of that description, because that's how she accidentally ends up a member of the Fantastic Four. In FF #1, the real team is headed out on a journey beyond time and space. and needs stand-ins to oversee the Future Foundation for the four minutes of Earth time they'll be gone. Or longer, if something goes wrong. Reed picks Ant-Man, Sue picks Medusa, and Ben picks She-Hulk. Johnny, of course, completely forgets about the whole thing.

Medicis Executive Jonah Shacknai Was Not Home at Time of Girlfriend's "Bizarre" Death, San Diego Police Say
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department's homicide unit is investigating the "bizarre" death of the girlfriend of a Scottsdale business executive at his Coronado, California mansion yesterday. However, the SDSD says, pharmaceutical tycoon Jonah Shacknai was not at the home when the woman died.
Just before 7 a.m. yesterday, police received a call that a woman was possibly dead at Shacknai's home. The body of 32-year-old Rebecca Nalepa -- Shacknai's girlfriend -- was later found in the courtyard of the historic Coronado mansion with a rope around her neck, and hanging from a balcony.
Aerial video taken above the home showed Nalepa's naked body lying on her back. Her feet and wrists appeared to be bound.
Police aren't releasing much information about the death and wouldn't tell New Times who called 9-1-1.
Shacknai has been the chairman and chief executive officer of the Scottsdale based Medicis pharmaceutical company since 1988.
Medicis sells the acne drug Solodyn and cosmetic
products like Restylane and the botulinum toxin
Dysport, a Botox competitor.
"The Medicis family is deeply saddened to learn of a tragic incident at a California property owned by Jonah Shacknai," the company says in a statement. "Our thoughts are with Jonah and his family and (we) ask that the family's privacy be respected during this difficult period. At this time, the company has no further comment."
The SDSD tells New Times more information about the death investigation will be available later today.

6 things I've learned about investing: Roseman
Predictions abound in January, but the so-called experts are only guessing. You're better off with a strategy that works in good or bad markets.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
If you invested in the stock market in 2013, you had excellent returns in both Canadian and U.S. equities.
It was a surprising outcome for a year in which all the news seemed gloomy. The TSX composite index was up 9.6 per cent (not including dividends) and the S&P 500 index was up nearly 30 per cent.
Optimism rules. Almost two thirds of investment professionals expect the global economy to expand in 2014, according to a CFA Institute survey. And 71 per cent picked stocks as the asset class most likely to perform best, a big jump from 50 per cent last year.
All is not rosy, however. Canadian respondents see a lack of ethical culture in financial firms eroding investor trust – in particular, pressure by advisers to sell products that may not suit investor needs.
I've been investing for long enough that I know caution is always warranted. There's never a slam-dunk solution. The brightest shining stars can turn dim in an instant.
I like to buy and hold blue-chip stocks for years at a time (and reinvest the dividends). I'm skeptical of market forecasts, since so many go wrong.
Here are six things I've learned as an investor:
Buy profitable companies. Don't buy dreams. You're better off owning lucrative money spinner Google (even if you buy a single share at $1,150 U.S.) than yet-to-make-money Twitter. No matter how great a story sounds or how promising a proprietary technology may be, says Irvine, buying a company without profits is speculation.
Look for rising dividends. Money-making companies can hold on to their profits or give part of their profits to shareholders in the form of dividends or share buybacks. A rising dividend shows that a company is confident about its future, says David Baskin of Baskin Financial, an investment management firm. Rising dividends are paid from rising profits. And rising profits lead to higher stock prices.
Look for share buybacks. When companies buy back their shares, they reduce the number of shares held by the public. This means higher earnings per share for shareholders, even if the firm's profits stay the same. Since 1998, says Baskin, companies that buy back at least five per cent of their shares have delivered an annualized return of 13.8 per cent vs. 6.7 per cent for the overall S&P 500 index.
Cut your losses quickly. Don't fall in love with stocks. Don't refuse to recognize the reason you bought a stock has changed for the worse. Just leave, says Jim Cramer, who bought Sears as a real estate play for his charitable trust. Later, he decided it was an earnings play. "What a fool I was," the flamboyant TV host says in his new book, Get Rich Carefully. "The reason I had bought Sears, the monetization of real estate, was gone. I was simply trying to come up with some alibi, perhaps an improvement in same-store sales, to justify the story."
Don't worry about a market correction. Stock marketsdon't go up indefinitely. Optimism can push prices ahead of corporate profits, forcing a return to fundamentals. "We can't predict when the current bull market will end, when the 'correction' will begin, how long it will last or how severe it will be," says U.S. adviser and author Dan Solin in the Huffington Post. "You can't base a sound investment plan on the unsupported musings of 'experts' who claim to have an ability to predict the future."
Don't hold only stocks. You can lessen the impact of declines by holding bonds and cash, even if they barely keep up with inflation. Bonds tend to rise when stocks fall, as central banks cut interest rates to boost the economy. (Falling rates make bonds with higher yields more valuable.) In its 2014 outlook, giant fund manager Vanguard urges investors to hold bonds, despite low yields: "High-grade bonds act as ballast in a portfolio, buffering losses in riskier assets."
You can try to predict the future, but you're only guessing. It's better to find an investment strategy that works in good or bad markets and stick to it.

Floods, Fire, Landslides, and Drought: The Guardian's "Weather Crisis 2010"August 16, 2010 By Schuyler NullFrom the Guardian's DataBlog comes an excellent overview of some of the extreme weather affecting the globe this summer, from the devastating floods in Pakistan which have inflicted "huge losses" to crops and exacerbated an already tenuous security situation, to the wildfires in Russia which have smothered the capital in dangerous smog and crippled domestic wheat supplies.
"Global temperatures in the first half of the year were the hottest since records began more than a century ago," writes author and graphic artist Mark McCormick.
The orange areas of the map represent high pressure systems and the blue, low pressure systems, which as explained by Peter Stott of the Met Office, are important indicators of the rare climatic conditions that caused this summer's abnormal conditions across Eurasia.
The flooding in Pakistan has garnered the most international attention, having now affected more people than the 2004 tsunami, 2010 Haiti earthquake, and 2005 Kashmir earthquake combined. Other highlighted areas of the map include flooding in Poland and Germany, drought in England, mudslides in Latin and South America, record-breaking drought and hunger in West Africa, and flooding and landslides in China, which recently pushed the world's largest hydroelectric dam to its limit and have now been blamed for more than 1,000 deaths.
Although it does a good job highlighting the frequency and severity of extreme weather events this summer, it's important to note that the map only covers events in July and August. That leaves out the "1000-year" floods in Tennessee this May as well as the heavy snowfall seen in the Northeast United States and the winter of "white death" in Mongolia earlier this year, which also severely disrupted local and national infrastructure as well as a great many people's livelihoods.

dinnerware tabletop Wildwood
I've been looking for dishes for many months that would go with my kitchen and that would not be so heavy and within the dishwasher easily. These dishes are very pretty and can be used for formal or casual very nice dishes.Read More
Love it
I really wanted a casual dinner set that was out of the ordinary and different and I think I got that with this set. I really really like it and I am considering a second set (just in case).Read More
Wildwood dish set is great
I bought this set because I missed an earlier set of dishes I owned which were black and white. The Wildwood dishes are very cool, glazes are even and consistent between dishes. The set is very striking in white and black. One plate arrived with a little chip/imperfection, and overstock sent out a new one immediately. I may have to order another set of 4 place settings!Read More
Even better than I expected
Much stronger and more chip resistant than expected. These are PORCELAIN, not stoneware and much the better for it!Read More
Attractive and fanciful dinnerware
I gave this set of dinnerware to my daughter for Christmas. She has a black and white theme. These dishes are so cute! The white is very white and the black is very black. The concentric circles fool the eye so that sometimes you think the plates are actually a little askew. They have a high, shiny glaze and are so attractive on the table. The bowls are especially nice because of they are deep and perfect for cereal. The mugs are also nicely shaped. We are very pleased with this set.Read More
Great Dishes
I hesitated on these because if I didn't like them, I would have to pay the return shipping and knew that would be costly. They came in and the family likes them...a lot. One of the bowls was chipped and I was so bummed, but leave it to Overstock, I had a replacement within a few days. They are so easy to work with. I recommend these.Read More

San Antonio Spurs Focused On Getting Back To The NBA Finals
It's safe to say that the San Antonio Spurs have just as much oil as the Eagle Ford Shale oil depository just south of San Antonio.
As the much as the Shale has brought new-found prosperity to South Texas, the Spurs continue to make the fans of the area just as proud. You can see the tenacity on their faces and the energy in their steps. The Spurs set a goal after their heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals that they would be hoisting the Mark O'Brien trophy for the fifth time in 15 years, and they're set on achieving it.
The Spurs did not care about their 62-win season. The Spurs did not care about going the distance in their first-round matchup against their North Texas rivals, the Dallas Mavericks. The Spurs did not care about giving their second-round opponent, the young Portland Trail Blazers, a postseason education that they would not forget anytime soon.
No, the Spurs do not care about any of that. They care about reclaiming what they thought was rightfully theirs last season. That is their same mission here in the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team with similar championship aspirations who has the unfortunate fate of going up against a Spurs team that is ruthlessly efficient in their single-minded goal.
It was clear on Monday night which team is on a mission. Before the series, I predicted the Spurs to beat this team in six games. Why six games? Because Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will lead the Thunder to at least two victories. But that will be all she wrote for the Thunder.
The Spurs are playing on a whole other level compared to the rest of the NBA right now. Their mission is to get back to the Finals, and if it means crushing the league MVP's title hopes in the process, then so be it.
