It has become a familiar refrain this year but one that's by no means unwelcome: Stocks hit record highs last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 15,000 for the first time, and equities rose about 1% on a lack of bad news, on decent earnings and economic news, and perhaps from just plain habit.
Nothing seems to unnerve this market; old bogeymen, like European debt woes and North Korean saber-rattling, remain locked in the basement for now, says Jonathan Corpina, a senior managing partner at Meridian Equity Partners. The worry, if there were one, is that such concerns could return and swat the market during the soon-to-arrive languid summer months, a time when markets traditionally look for things to worry about, Corpina adds.
For now, investors are busily rotating out of defensive stocks, he says, and moving money into technology and financial shares. Our guess is that only a sudden swoon will change that.
On the week, the Dow closed at 15,118.49, up 145 points, or 1%, and an all-time high. The S&P 500 increased 1.2%, or 19 points, to 1633.70, also a new high-water mark. The Nasdaq Composite index jumped 1.7%, or 58 points, to 3436.58.
With the Dow up 15% already this year, it's getting tougher to find relatively cheap stocks inside this 30-member and exclusive megacap club. The average 2013 ratio of price/earnings per share for the index is now about 14, with a high of 21.5 times for Home Depot HD -0.7900760540500628% Home Depot Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD134.36 -1.07 -0.7900760540500628% /Date(1472245267655-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4138476 AFTER HOURS USD134.36 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 54935 P/E Ratio 23.61335676625659 Market Cap 166011719982.65 Dividend Yield 2.0541827924977674% Rev. per Employee 239047 More quote details and news » (ticker: HD) and a low of six for Hewlett-Packard HPQ 0.13917884481558804% HP Inc.

The average earnings-per-share growth expected this year is just 3%.
For investors looking at the Dow now, it's worth noting that in the past three weeks the broad market has seen a rotation into stocks in sectors like tech, up 9%; materials, up 7%; and energy, up 6%. Concurrently, defensive sectors that have been popular all year—consumer staples, health care, and telecoms—have begun to trail the market. That could represent a shift to a search for growth from a search for yield.
Henry Smith, chief investment officer at Haverford Trust, says in recent weeks his team has discussed "areas on the defensive side where we are going to take profits, like Procter & Gamble PG -0.3640500568828214% Procter & Gamble Co. U.S.: NYSE USD87.58 -0.32 -0.3640500568828214% /Date(1472245230954-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 16332269 AFTER HOURS USD87.69 0.11 0.12559945192966432% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 75918 P/E Ratio 25.0486214391946 Market Cap 233729215413.973 Dividend Yield 3.0577757478876455% Rev. per Employee 621895 More quote details and news » [PG], for example." These are stocks that have done well and where "it's hard to see more P/E-multiple expansion." P&G has slightly outperformed the Dow this year, with one of the highest P/Es in the Dow at 19 and among the lowest projected EPS growth rates, 4%.

With valuations not as cheap as they were, there's a lower margin of safety now, adds Mark Boyar, chairman of Boyar Intrinsic Value Research. He also likes Microsoft, and adds that Bank of America BAC 1.674179008370895% Bank of America Corp.

But it has been lifting its dividend by 9%, pays a yield of 3.25%, and trades at just 10 times this year's EPS forecasts, below the Dow average.
THE MARKET'S EARLY-2013 love affair with defensive sectors like food has helped propel the shares of Pinnacle Foods PF -0.6906215594034631% Pinnacle Foods Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD49.61 -0.345 -0.6906215594034631% /Date(1472245322769-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 570428 AFTER HOURS USD49.61 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1152 P/E Ratio 29.529761904761905 Market Cap 5852739746.30737 Dividend Yield 2.297923805684338% Rev. per Employee 667303 More quote details and news » (PF), which went public on March 28 at $20 a share, the top end of a projected $18 to $20 range. It has zoomed up since then to a Friday close of $24.22.
Beside the defensive aspect, investors also like that the Parsippany, N.J., company has about $1.1 billion in gross net-operating-loss carry-forwards. Over the next two years, that tax shield will help free cash flow, and possibly go to dividend increases and to the company's intention of buying up smaller rivals.
Pinnacle's brands are either No. 1 or No. 2 in 10 of the 12 major product categories in which it competes. Their products can be found in more than 85% of U.S. households.
Despite this, investors appear overly bullish about Pinnacle's future, bidding up its shares to what looks like an unsustainably high valuation for a small, slow-growing food maker. Those loss carry-forwards are nice, but they are not a long-term sustainable edge. They might even be considered a crutch. And while Pinnacle's brands are recognizable—Bird's Eye, Duncan Hines, and Vlassic, for example—they are not top-shelf names.
Acquisitions could help earnings, but that, too, can't be counted on steadily, particularly as Pinnacle has a highly levered balance sheet, with debt of $2 billion and a debt-to-total-capital ratio near 60%.
The Pinnacle story has blemishes that should be taken more seriously by investors, particularly if there is a rotation out of slow- growth defensive food stocks. That's possible if the market continues to make new highs, as investors will gain confidence and look for growth stocks, something Pinnacle is not.
One of Pinnacle's warts is organic revenue growth of just 1% to 2%, according to a May 7 Goldman Sachs report on the company, which it rates Neutral. The broker wrote that it recognizes Pinnacle's potential, but it also noted that the food maker has "a relatively disadvantaged portfolio," is vulnerable to input-cost volatility, generates below-average returns, and has been a "market-share donor since 2009."
Moreover, Pinnacle gets some 25% of sales from one customer, Wal-Mart Stores WMT -0.11232799775344005% Wal-Mart Stores Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD71.14 -0.08 -0.11232799775344005% /Date(1472245224531-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9922095 AFTER HOURS USD71.17 0.03 0.04217036828788305% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 116369 P/E Ratio 15.298924731182796 Market Cap 221718263732.515 Dividend Yield 2.81135788585887% Rev. per Employee 210362 More quote details and news » (WMT), which isn't known for cutting its suppliers much slack. About 60% comes from the top 10 customers, another risk.
Pinnacle's results from 2008 to 2012 swung to a net profit of $52.6 million from a net loss of $28.6 million. But the story is more complicated. Inside that five-year earnings swing, results were volatile. For the past three years, sales have been stuck at about $2.5 billion.
Pinnacle's valuation is high when compared with large competitors. Its stock sells at a price/earnings ratio of about 16 times consensus estimates of $1.50 a share this year. That's not much lower than its large-cap rivals' average P/E of 17. On an absolute level, Pinnacle's P/E seems high compared with both the 10% growth in earnings per share expected in 2014 and its probable long-term growth of 5% to 7%. Pinnacle didn't respond to a request for comment.
Should the market's appetite for defensives wane, Pinnacle's valuation might be at a zenith.
UNLIKE PINNACLE, Annie's (BNNY) is growing fast, selling things like its organic Mac & Cheese, and Bunny Graham crackers, among other products. These young brands are positioned as healthier choices and attract loyal customers, even though they can be as much as 50% pricier than rivals and are not much different in calories, fat, and nutritional content.
Annual growth at the Berkeley, Calif., company is an expected 20% for sales and EPS, so it deserves a higher-than-market valuation. As with Pinnacle, though, the issue is how high, relative to its realistic prospects and once the market's penchant for food stocks cools.
Jonathan Feeney, an analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott, says that Annie's is a niche business that has done a nice job addressing dry dinner kits and crackers in a small target market, five million to six million or so households with children ages 3 to 11 and more than $90,000 in annual income.
What seems priced in the stock now, however, is a big move to annual revenue of $400 million to $500 million over the next five years from an estimated $169 million in the fiscal year that ended in March. That, says a skeptical Feeney, would give Annie's a share of its currently targeted market well above that of, say, Kraft Foods (KRFT) among its own target markets, which comprise about 127 million households.
To do this, Annie's needs to expand outside its main two categories of dinner kits and crackers, and that's why it has moved into organic pizza, as well as other areas
Leaving out the increased costs involved, horizontal food-category moves are risky, Feeney adds, when there are already entrenched rivals there, like Kellogg K -0.5433470176285922% Kellogg Co. U.S.: NYSE USD82.37 -0.45 -0.5433470176285922% /Date(1472245313932-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1440453 AFTER HOURS USD82.37 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 54354 P/E Ratio 47.339080459770116 Market Cap 28850835013.2236 Dividend Yield 2.525191210392133% Rev. per Employee 391220 More quote details and news » (K), Kashi, General Mills GIS -0.7283933323994958% General Mills Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD70.87 -0.52 -0.7283933323994958% /Date(1472245301020-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1963318 AFTER HOURS USD70.91 0.04 0.05644137152532806% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11991 P/E Ratio 25.584837545126355 Market Cap 42490321234.1238 Dividend Yield 2.7091858332157472% Rev. per Employee 424695 More quote details and news » ' (GIS) Cascadian Farms, and Kraft's Back to Nature, among numerous others. All of them are pursuing these niches with the same or greater resources. Natural or organic pizza is already crowded—and it's a tiny part of frozen pizza over all, he says.
Food-consumption patterns are deeply ingrained. "Is your brand so much better than the others that it will convince retailers and consumer to buy it consistently?" asks Feeney, who has a Sell rating on the stock and a target price of $25.
In the nine months ended Dec. 31, Annie's reported sales grew to $117 million and profit of $7.3 million, or 43 cents a share, compared with year-earlier sales of $98 million and profit of $7.7 million, or 50 cents a share. The most recent profit results were hurt to the tune of $1.4 million from the recall of Annie's Homegrown Frozen Pizza, due to the possible presence of metal fragments caused by a faulty screen at a third-party flour mill.
At Friday's close of $37.15, the stock is down from all-time highs of $48, just prior to our last story on the company ("Down the Rabbit Hole," Oct. 22, 2012). Even so, Annie's trades at 47 times EPS estimates of 79 cents in the recently ended fiscal 2013 and 37 times the $1 expected in fiscal 2014.
Valuation alone isn't enough to take down Annie's. Nevertheless, it doesn't lack for challenges. Outsourced production saves on capital but is particularly risky for a food company, as borne out by the recent recall.
Moreover, outside suppliers could raise their prices as well as miss deadlines, among a lot of other potential problems when you don't control the manufacture of your own product. Like Pinnacle's, Annie's clients are concentrated: More than 50% of sales go through three customers, and that concentration has been rising.
One important caveat that bulls trot out is the potential for Annie's to be gobbled up by a bigger, slower-growing rival. Recent actual sales multiples don't bear that out: Boulder Brands (BDBD) has recently made acquisitions in the healthy or organic space at less than two times sales; Annie's trades at 3.7 times sales. Annie's declined to comment on valuation and that a spokesman said it would not comment in the quiet period ahead of fiscal fourth quarter results.
Like its products, Annie's stock is pricey, leaving little room for disappointment.

The reason this would be better for me is that we have a lot of different template where 95% of them use the same CSS/JS. So, it is much easier to say use this CSS for 'All Templates' then to individually add the same CSS file for every template. If we could exclude pages from getting that insert after the opening head it would be great. Even a PHP function like DONOTCACHEPAGE for minification additions would be great. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Product Description
Grand Prix - F1 recreates the excitement and events of a real car race. The drama from the track is formed by skilled, tactical overtaking maneuvers, forcing opponents to brake, loss of speed due to the wrong choice of tire, or driving errors like detours into the gravel bed, spins, early braking, missing yellow or blue flags, etc.
Particularly interesting is the challenge of making the right decision of when to go into the pit and how long to stay there for refueling.
The goal is to win the race or at least increase your score by ending among the best. A driver will be forced to leave a race when he runs out of fuel or has a serious crash.

Imagine the scene. It's your last day at Essen. You have some Euros burning a hole in your pocket. You think you've got all the "must haves", but has one slipped through the net? There's always one. This year I was determined for this not to happen. The rumour (positive) from Mik Svellov was that GPF1 was good. The rumour (negative) from Mike Clifford was that it was flawed. Not being renowned for my shyness to try a game unseen, and on the basis of a reasonable showing from their earlier game (Millionary, reviewed by Ben in Counter 18), I bought GPF1.
When I first played this there were only 2 of us, so we took 3 cars each and learnt the rules. The board looks like so many other racing car games - squares to mark movement, narrow sections where only one car can pass, off road areas, a start and finish straight and a pit lane. Familiar territory for Formula One, Speed Circuit, Formule D and MotorChamp fans.
The selling points for GPF1 are that everyone gets a hand of movement cards simulating your petrol usage. All the cards are 4's, 6's and 10's, so you are limited in the choice of squares to move to and your options are fixed to squares that are an even number of spaces ahead of you. The race is over 4 laps, and the shortest route around is 30 squares long, so you need at least 120 points of movement, but you begin with only 90 points worth.
Not only that, but some squares feature diversions that you take to simulate spinning off. If you overtake in some areas the route around is longer than the direct route, and you can also be baulked, so you may be lucky to get 2 laps out of your initial fuel load.
The solution to this is to visit the pits, at least once and get some more fuel. The pitstop lane has some speed limits so that you cannot play high valued cards and get full movement, so you know that the route through the pits will be slow. When you reach the pitstop for your car, you take on fuel, and for up to 3 turns doing this you get a larger set of cards. They are still 4's, 6's and 10's, but you can select the blend of cards.
A further decision must be made at the pitstop. On some squares of the race track you can "earn" points for good driving. I think of this as driving with some fuel conservation in mind, while the the rules say it represents the fastest time through a section of the track. No matter how you think of it, it is a good gaming device. The cards you earn are 1 point cards, either 2 or 3 of them. These can immediately be converted into a movement card of value 2 or 3 or be left as 1 point cards. Their value is in tactical play to hold up other cars or to make your car be on the ideal spaces for playing those even numbered cards that comprise most of your hand.
The extra rule is that once this pile of 20 or so cards is taken, a rain card is revealed. This makes all cars on dry weather tyres go slower, by reducing 10 point cards to 6, and 6 point cards to 4. How do you get wet weather tyres? When you conclude your refilling at your pitstop. This makes the pitstops more (fun) difficult to decide what tyres to take, especially when the 1 pack is getting low.
Of the players who have tried GPF1 in my groups, nearly all have liked it, including me. It has its roots in Ausgebremst from ASS, feels a bit like MotorChamp and plays in a reasonable time. It won't win any awards, but is a game that most motor racing gamers will enjoy.

Kinect adventures and Disneyland Adventures are both great games (Kinect sports are great too), I paid full price for the Kinect bundle and Disneyland Adventures when they each came out and they are both worth it if you have young kids (mine are both under 5). There are plenty of horrible games (I'm looking at you, Star Wars Kinect and Sonic Racers Kinect) but just play the demos before you buy.
Via Amazon's lightning deals, I was able recently to get a great price on the Xbox and Kinect packaged deal. We received the Xbox today and immediately started playing (very easy setup) one of the dancing games. It is seriously a fun game, we played for a couple hours.
When we finished, I started poking around with the other features of the Xbox. What I quickly found is that the Xbox is fairly worthless for any other feature other than games unless you want to drop another $10 a month (or $100/year) on the Gold service. You can't even use Netflix unless you pay this monthly fee - on TOP of what you already pay Netflix. And to top it off, you can't even use Internet Explorer without the "Gold" Service. It's not much, it's just more the principle of the matter when you can use Netflix on every other device for free.
Anyway, I highly recommend the Xbox if you only want to play games and use the Kinect. For any other service, use the PS3, Roku, Wii, any basic media streaming device, etc etc etc. They're all free to use!
Other than that, Xbox 360 is still amazing. Even after 7 years since its launch.
CONS: VERY VERY *FEW* "FAMILY/KID" friendly games overall, and the ones for the Kinect seem to only be dance/exercise (girly) or toddler focused. I would conservatively guess that 90% of the games on Xbox are rated "M" either based on violence or "adult themes/sex" (I happen to CARE about what my child "plays", can't say the same for those buying "M" games for their 7 or 8 year olds!). The fact that there are some really good racing games, the cost of a steering wheel/foot pedal combo is still around $200 shows that racing games are not their focus (I had that with my PS2 for only $90!)
PROS: Great graphics, online gameplay (WITH an additional purchase of an Xbox Live account for each player-seems dumb at first, but, if you have a "tween" son whom, when he has sleepovers, they mainly like to play video games together-this allows them to chat/play together virtually even if they don't live near each other-my son can play online with his cousin who lives in another state), games utilizing the Kinect FORCE you to move and actually put you IN the game.Read more ›
What I don't really care for is how even though I have Netflix, Xbox want me to pay them to access my Netflix subscription. I also, don't particularly care for Xbox Live, and hope that once the free trial runs out that I won't be forced to subscribe to it as well. Don't like it forcing me to take pictures of myself (I know its out there in cyberspace), I don't like the possibility that someone I didn't approve of or want to have my pictures may have access to them. However, I would recommend the console to anyone and everyone. Just try not to get caught up in the hype of purchasing stuff you really don't need or have time for.

You know those feelings you get when you know something, anything is going to happen?
I was driving home from dropping my sister off at a game, and I had the feeling like something wasn't right. So I took extra precaution on my way home, because I felt like there was going to be an accident. I was right about the accident and something was wrong.
My mother had gotten in an accident, and I drove right passed it, but something was telling me to pull over. I felt that way…Continue

Hint: Connect a load of 100fF to the output and then calculate the LH propagation delay (tPLH) using average current technique when G=VDD and G-=0 and a pulse is applied at the input A. For the average current consider the body effect and channel length modulation at both the 0% and 50% output swing. Then equate the propagation delay to a simple RC network and find Reff for rising edge ReffLH.

The Jaguar S-Type is an executive four-door saloon that was produced by the British car manufacturer between 1999 and 2008. This model took its name from the original 1963 Jaguar S-Type. Jaguar has a rich history of making luxurious cars in the UK. The S-Type was first unveiled at the Birmingham Motor Show in 1998. It was built at Jag''s Castle Bromwich facility in Birmingham and was designed by Geoff Lawson in 1995.
We can help you to locate reconditioned, new and used Jaguar S-Type parts from breakers up and down the nation. Search our UK-wide network of independent breakers for the part you need using our simple Find a Part box. To find spares for your Jaguar S-Type start by choosing one of the part categories below.
The S-Type is well known for being an executive car that was popular with many. During its nine year production the Jaguar underwent a few minor facelifts that updated the styling. There were some reliability concerns with pre-2004 models including a long list of recalls. Some issues included seat belt buckle concerns, front suspension ball-joint failure and the risk that the automatic gearbox may engage reverse gear when in forward drive.
The four-door saloon S-Type was launched in 1999, having been first shown at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show. Its styling was a nod to the original S-Type of the 1960s. Inside the car, there was a U-shaped centre console and comfortable leather seating with ample space for four adults. The traditional leaping jaguar bonnet ornament was an optional extra on this first gen S-Type; later models had the Jaguar logo incorporated into the radiator grille.
In terms of engines, the S-Type was available with a V8 or V6 petrol or a diesel. The 4.0-litre Jaguar AJ-V8 engine was increased to 4.2l in 2002. The V6 engines used a Ford Duratec unit, and the diesel was a Ford/Peugeot 2.7l HDi Ford AJD-V6/PSA DT17 that was used across a number of Ford, Peugeot, Citroen, Jaguar and Landrover models.
For the model years 1999 - 2002, the Jaguar S-Type was available with either a five-speed manual or five-speed J-Gate Ford 5R55N transmission.
The supercharged Jaguar STR was designed to compete with the BMW M5 and Mercedes E55 AMG. Under the bonnet was a newly revised 4.2-litre V8 with an Eaton M112 supercharger. It delivered 400 hp and 0-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. The R was more aggressively styled than the standard S-Type with 18-inch alloy wheels, rear apron, side-skirts, front apron and rear spoiler.
Some changes were made to the 2003 model. An electronic parking brake was added as was the six-speed automatic ZF 6HP26 transmission and a flip-open key for the ignition. Styling-wise, the 2003 model had a revised dash, centre console and grille with the Jaguar badge incorporated.
For the 2004 model year, there were some more styling changes including redesigned front and rear aprons, slightly modified grill, remodeled rear light clusters and the addition of an aluminum bonnet. The facelift model also brought with it a new 2.7-litre V6 diesel engine with 207 hp, and the windscreen washer jets were built into the windscreen wiper arms. Inside the cabin, the S-Type remained the same.
Many S-Type spares will be available to buy now. For other parts, you will hear back from the independent breakers in our network with some quotes giving you a wider choice. Irrespective of whether you need a Jaguar S-Type engine or gearbox, or a smaller part such as a wing mirror or switch, all car parts are thoroughly checked, fully guaranteed for at least a month, and ready for delivery to your home or garage.
All you need to do is enter your registration into the Find a Part box at the side of this page and choose the best option for you. Start your search now with our help.

Submissions: What we mean by 'Quality'Over the last several months since we opened the gallery for submissions, there have been enough questions as to what we mean by "quality" of art within our Submission Guidelines to warrant a closer look at the subject. Just what does "quality"? look like? How is it measured? When submitting artists continue to ask why everything they submit gets declined then we haven't been specific enough. Our submission guidelines will be updated soon to be more specific. So in the meantime, to help clarify: Here is what we mean by "quality".
Quality :
a high level of value or excellence, or how well or poorly something is. Quality is a measuring word. The AnthroCommunity group seeks to feature Good Quality work or better. There are certain aspects of every artwork that affect the quality of the presentation. Some aspects describe low quality while others, high quality.
Please make sure you take a look at our Submission Guidelines first. There are a number of reasons why your art could've been declined but some of the main reasons are 1) your artwork was submitted into the improper gallery or 2) your artwork doesn't meet the quality standards which will result in a decline of your artwork to the group. If you have any questions, feel free to send the group a note!

Long story short, I spend almost $300 dollars there and another $200 to sign us up for the 5K. Then, the 1st night of the walk was on a HS track in Brentwood, in the dark in FREEZING weather in February. They were timing us to see which group to put us in. I made it one time around the track and my calf hurt SO BAD I could not continue! I went up to the boy I bought my shoes from and he sent me to Tracy McGraw to let her know I was in pain. Well, I did. This woman looked me up and down and said, "you can't go just one more lap?"
I repeated myself and told her I was in terrible pain and she just turned around and walked away... I went to the 1st official day of the 5K at a park in Brentwood and could not keep up with the other walkers bacause my feet and calf were in such pain b/c of this new arch support. The Fleet Feet people there told me it was just my feet adjusting to the new arch supports. I walked with a girl who was on her 2nd 5K with Fleet Feet who shared with me that she couldn't do the last one because she had to have KNEE SURGERY after her first 5K because she fell walking in the dark on the side of the road at a FLeet Feet walk!! I immediately turned around and went home.
Fast forward 6 months and my doctor has diagnosed me with Plantar Fasciitis. He said that he sees people every week with my same story... FLEET FEET SALES PEOPLE ARE NOT ORTHOPEDISTS. THEY ARE NOT DOCTORS AND HAVE NO BUSINESS GIVING ADVICE LIKE THEY ARE... THEY ARE UNSAFE AND UNQUALIFIED TO MESS WITH YOUR FEET. My doctor referred me to a qualifying ORTHOPEDIST in Nashville. I am now being fit for custom orthodics and should have relief in about a year. If not, I will have to get night splits or have surgery. PLEASE do not go to this place. They do not care bout you... they are SALES PEOPLE MAKING MONEY OFF YOU.
Thought they are VERY good and act like they are doing you a favor. Feel free to contact me. I will share my story. I do NOT want the same thing to happen to you. There are other 5K's out there that aren't trying to sell you shoes and who are QUALIFIED to find a safe place for you to train. Not in the dark on the side of the road with no sidewalks.. OH!! And my friend who introduced me to this 5K actually FELL off the road one night during one of there walks. They don't provide a safe place to run or walk like a LIGHTED TRACK. Instead they take you to random neighborhoods that don't always have sidewalks or lights.
Thank you. I just don't want anyone to have to experience the EXCRUCIATING life changing pain of plantar fasciitis if it can be prevented. These people are basically practicing medicine by trying to change your feet w/ non-custom arch supports... If you need that service, go to an orthopedist who will custom MAKE your arch supports from a mold from YOUR foot.

The Fleet Feet staff are not doctors and recommend our customers go to a doctor if they can not help them with the problem. Fleet Feet offers free injury screening twice per month with a doctor for this reason. There is great training that goes into being a fitter for Fleet Feet and no one is on commission.
Fleet Feet has a policy to take back shoes and inserts no matter if they have been worn or not. You may bring yours back for a refund or an exchange with a receipt. I encourage you to go back to the store and mention your complaint because Fleet Feet will listen with care.
I apologize for your shoes and inserts not working for you and apologize for any mis-communication at the track the first night of training.
You may contact me at email@example.com if you have questions or concerns.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

What's Next After bin Laden?
News on the street is that UBL (Osama bin Laden) was killed by Seal Team 6. According to reports, the location in Abbottabad was identified by the CIA after years of monitoring UBL's couriers. UBL was residing in a mansion-like facility just outside of Islamabad, Pakistan. As a point of political embarrassment to the Pakistanis that have long claimed to "be doing everything to assist," the facility was only a few football field lengths away from the Pakistani Military Academy (their version of West Point). When the intelligence was solid, President Obama authorized the raid whereupon forces were inserted rapidly by helicopter. The entire operation took less than forty minutes with no losses to American forces. As public enemy number one, UBL had a long history of conflict with the United States dating back into the 1990's with attempted World Trade Center bombings, embassy attacks, etc. Although the action will inevitably stir conspiracy theorists, UBL's body was buried at sea shortly after the raid. Reasons behind the action were to abide by Islamic tradition of burial with a single day (so as not to incite further violence) and to prevent any single location from becoming a shrine to extremists.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) The Girl Scouts of Colorado are asking for your help in giving girls across the Western Slope a chance to be a part of a program more than 100-years-old.
Adult volunteers are desperately needed to lead troops in Clifton, Fruitvale and Palisade.
While there are more than fifty troops here in Western Colorado, Girl Scouts officials say they need at least fifty more.
"We have lots of girls that are on a wait list waiting to be in Girl Scouts and waiting to be in troops," says Girl Scouts of Colorado Program Support Specialist, Virginia Brown. "[We] don't have the volunteers and Girl Scouts is a volunteer-driven organization."

We're sure Rep. Bart Stupak is proud to be a Member of Congress, but we think he's just as proud to be an Eagle Scout.
The Michigan Democrat took to the House floor last week to salute the Boy Scouts of America on its 100th anniversary. As an Eagle Scout (the group's highest rank), Stupak said he has "a special appreciation" for scouting.
"In scouting, you learn to do a good deed every day," Stupak said. "The world would be a better place if we all lived by this simple creed. In scouting, you learn to leave your campsite in better shape than you found it. Many scouts grow up to be leaders in their communities or here in the United States Congress, and strive to leave things better than they found them."
Becoming an Eagle Scout isn't easy; requirements include performing a leadership service project in the community.
Stupak spokeswoman Michelle Begnoche tells HOH the Congressman is from the "old school," meaning he wasn't required to do a specific project to earn the rank. But Stupak did do "loads of community service" to earn Eagle Scout status, she said.
Penn: Dirksen Over Cannes
Actor-activist (can we call him an actor-vist?) Sean Penn is always there when duty calls. The paparazzi-slugging former Mr. Madonna is forgoing the glitz and glamour of the Cannes Film Festival this week for a far less ritzy gig: a Senate hearing.
Penn is testifying about the post-earthquake mess in Haiti, the New York Post's Page Six reports. Penn's new movie, "Fair Game," in which he plays the husband of CIA agent Valerie Plame (played by Naomi Watts), premieres at the festival. But Penn won't be soaking up the sun in the south of France — he'll be under the lights in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, where he will testify today for the Foreign Relations Committee.
Penn is the founder of the J/P Haitian Relief Organization and is no stranger to leaping into causes. He has toured Haiti and has traveled to Iran, Iraq and post-Katrina New Orleans.
While HOH finds it incroyable that one would choose Dirksen over the Riviera, one Senate aide had a plausible theory: "Paparazzi and red carpets are probably old hat for guys like that, and the Senate sounds more exciting."
Ellen Joins Healthy School Lunch Chorus
Celebrities get a lot of mail — but Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) might just get the most mail from celebrities.
Talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi are the latest famous folk to write to the House Education and Labor Committee chairman asking him to support the Healthy School Meals Act, which would provide funding for public schools to offer more vegetarian meal options.
They join a slew of celebs who have written letters supporting the bill, including actors Scarlett Johansson and Woody Harrelson, talk-show host Tavis Smiley and Olympic gold medalists Amanda Beard and Nastia Liukin.
"Two years ago, we switched to a plant-based diet out of concern for animals and the environment," DeGeneres and de Rossi write. "Many children stop eating meat for the same reasons. Adding vegetarian options ... would provide healthier options for all young people."
Introduced by Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), the measure is getting a huge push from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine — including its director of public affairs, Elizabeth Kucinich, the wife of Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). The group has held several briefings on Capitol Hill about the bill, with celebs such as actress Marilu Henner and former NBA star John Salley.
An Abstinence-Only Chat
Outgoing Rep. Mark Souder's "sex tape" with his reported mistress/staffer (OK, so it was a PG-rated discussion of abstinence-only education) wasn't just about titillation.
The issue of sex, at least when it comes to sex ed, is a serious topic on Capitol Hill. And so a video in which the Indiana Republican and the staffer with whom he reportedly had an affair discussed the merits of abstaining was more than just a funny diversion. For some, it was about hypocrisy.
In the Web video, which Souder's office apparently took down after HOH and others reported on it, Souder extols the virtues of abstaining while staffer/reported mistress Tracy Jackson nods and agrees with him. Souder tells Jackson, "I wish I'd abstained" from a 2008 hearing critical of abstinence-only programs.
HOH asked Sen. Frank Lautenberg, one of the leading opponents of abstinence-only education, to weigh in.
"Abstinence-only education is not working in our classrooms — nor apparently in some Congressional offices," the New Jersey Democrat's spokesman, Caley Gray, tells us.
Lautenberg is a co-sponsor of legislation that would allow federal funding for "comprehensive and medically accurate sexual education" (i.e., they'll tell you about contraception).
Alas, HOH's calls to other anti-abstinence-only reps weren't returned. We wonder what Bristol Palin would say ...
Overheard on the Hill
"I don't even know how to use one."
— Sen. Ben Nelson, confessing his inexperience with debit cards to reporters Tuesday. Asked about ATM fees, the Nebraska Democrat says he only pays with cash or credit cards and confessed to being "frugal."

Soccerlens on Mascerano & Andy Gray
Steve Bennett had no choice but to give out the first yellow card. It was a reckless lunge early in the game, and in a high pressured local derby like this the referee has to take control early. Following his yellow card, Mascherano walked towards Bennett repeatedly saying, "F**k off." It was clear and unacceptable, but Bennett showed leniency by booking him and warning him.
Mascherano then proceeded to commit two further fouls, either of which could arguably have been carded, and hurl abuse towards the referee when the free kicks were given. The warning Steve Bennett gave Mascherano could not have been clearer.
Then Steve Bennett decided to yellow card Fernando Torres. Now, this yellow card did seem harsh but we couldn't see or hear what Torres actually said to the referee. Nor, of course, could Mascherano who decided to run fully twenty yards to remonstrate with Bennett.
Watching the game, I said, "He's going to get sent off." Alonso tried to grab his teammate and stop him from being foolish because he knew he would be sent off. Arbeloa looked skywards and annoyed because he knew his teammate was making a big mistake. Steve Bennett told Mascherano to go away or he would send him off. He continued to stand there and argue. He was sent off. Shock!
It is clear from the TV pictures that Mascherano was simply repeatedly saying "What's happening." He wasn't swearing and he wasn't, on that occasion, being particularly aggressive. In itself, maybe the yellow card in those circumstances would have been a little harsh. However, this was far from an isolated incident and Steve Bennett had already showed patience with the player and could have sent him off before he did. The fact that he ran so far and fought off a teammate to carry on the argument meant that Bennett had little choice.
The Liverpool players knew it, the Liverpool staff knew it and millions of people watching on television knew it.
At half time we were taken to the Sky Sports Studio studio where Richard Keys was talking to Jamie Redknapp and Andy Gray. Redknapp, a Liverpool fan and ex-player said what we were all thinking. Mascherano was stupid in the extreme and gave Steve Bennett no choice in the current climate.
Then Andy Gray, who I think has grown to believe his own publicity, starts to rant on about the referee losing control, the player simply asking a question, football going down the pan and it not being a 'man's game' anymore. Total and utter rubbish Mr Gray. In your position, you should show a more responsible attitude.
Andy Gray said that the referees have a responsibility to take control. He said they should be 'big enough' to deal with situations. He suggested that Steve Bennett had lost control and 'bottled' the situation. Surely Bennett did quite the opposite? He repeatedly warned a player who was showing him no respect over a period of minutes and took control by sending him off and sending a strong message to players that this behaviour will no longer be tolerated.
Instead of taking the opportunity to reinforce the point that the whole football world has been making, as Jamie Redknapp and Tony Adams did on Sky, Andy Gray decided to fly in the face of common sense and criticise the referee and defend the player.
I was terribly disappointed with Sky Sports' 'Voice of football'. I think he did himself, Sky Sports and the Premier League generally a disservice with his, 'it's a man's game' attitude. Constant fouling, swearing at the referee and constant harrassment of the officials. Fighting off teammates who know you are being stupid. Which of these actions are the one's that Andy Gray defines as 'manly' and which of them are the ones that he defends?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
An excellent post as usual 'devon'. Going back to your original point, I was also surprised by Gray. He was given plenty of chances to revise his point of view but kept it going in the following programme, by infering the game was poor and that he didn't have a chence to see Torres and Gerrard in action together. As others have pointed out , this incident happened towards the end of a very one-sided half. It didn't help Liverpool's cause, but the game was going past them anyway. I wonder exactly when Gray ( and his co-presenter) became quite so anti-United. For many years they kept it under control, but maybe Fergie's swearing at one of their interviewers over Ronaldo's treatment has pushed them over the edge. They are also markedly more reserved in their praise of Ronaldo than all their guests.
Anyway I think Mr Gray has looked a bit of a fool in the face of otherwise universal condemnation of Mascherano in the press. I understand Liverpool supporter's fustration , but it should be directed at their own stupid player. In the past I have felt similar fustration at Keane and Scholes for daft behaviour which has led to dropped points. It happens.

There have been times when I`ve been screaming for SAF to take a player off - usually Scholes or Keane - before they get sent off. You can see it unfolding, a player on a yellow who appears totally oblivious to the possible consequences of his behaviour and then acts all innocent - "I don`t understand what I did wrong" - when the inevitable happens.
You're like me then, constantly shouting out, "Don't tackle, Scholes! You know you can't do it!" ;-)
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Mar 25, 2008 00:02 Flag
Think we'll have to agree to disagree.
I did not see the first Masch booking as a clear cut bookable case. First challenge by the player, with studs deliberatly kept down, is marginal at best, no matter how much Scholes put into the display (bit hard to take as he was lucky himself to not rake Arbeloa with his own studs moments earlier, but got away without even a foul as the Spainish defender was able to jump over the challenge) But as I said, lets agree to disagree.
I also don't see asking a ref what's happening, as a bookable offense. IMO, if the only way a ref can take control of a player asking him a question, is to card him, I'd say he's got a less than strong grip. But I'll also agree to disagree.
I did also not see the other bookable fouls you mention. If questionable obstruction against Giggs is a bookable offense at OT, then you really need to make sure you hand out the unique rule book your using to all visiting players. But again, I'll agree to disagree.
I'm sure you'll get plenty of support for your views on this board, but that is often the case in an echo chamber. I'm not trying to use the Masch sending off as an excuse for Liverpools poor performance on Sunday, but should I be surprised that fans who so often compain about the treatment of their own players by refs, now think that the letter of the law was so flawlessly and consistently applied in this case.

You're misrepresenting what happened. As Devon said, Mascherano was in the referee's face repeatedly, and aggressively, swearing at him at every decision. He was warned to be quiet, and given several oppurtunities. I don't know that the other fouls he commited (like on Giggs) were bookable, but they were fouls and free-kicks, and didn't require him to start badgering the ref every time. My flatmate watching the match thought he was acting like he was on drugs, and he certainly was doing a good impression of a coke-head to my eyes (don't worry, I'm not trying to say he's been taking it, just that he was acting like it).
Point is, if he'd behaved himself better, he probably wouldn't have been carded again for what he did. It may not be bad to ask the referee what's going on, but if you've been telling him to 'f*** off' repeatedly for half an hour, it's the kind of thing that would be the final straw.
Exactly dsteer. Inconsistency is the word.
Im not saying that masch didnt largely bring this on himself but when you watch games and you see the likes of Ashley cole screaming in a refs face (after commiting a serious foul) and not being carded or dealt with by the FA, or wayne Rooney squaring nose to nose with a linesman and not being carded and not being dealt with by the fa , and countless other examples of far worse dissent, you can see that Masch was used as a scapegoat

APT closing summer strong with 'All My Sons,' 'Cleopatra'
Spring Green — On a sleepy summer Sunday in 1947, 61-year-old Joe Keller sits in his backyard, smoking a pipe while reading the paper. In the background, a dog barks and children play; church bells chime and insects buzz. The grass is lush and green, and the future seems as bright as the sky, which we're told doesn't have a cloud.
That's how things begin in the outstanding American Players Theatre production of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons," which director William Brown has set in a seemingly idyllic "Wisconsin neighborhood" resembling thousands like it throughout postwar America. »Read Full Article

on December 12, 2012 - 12:01 AM
New York State would love to get a bite of Apple Inc., which plans to move some of its Macintosh computer production from China to the United States next year.
Whether the Empire State is in the running for the manufacturing operation is not clear. Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive officer, has not specified where the company will make the Macs, and that has only fueled speculation.
An Apple plant would be a high-profile catch wherever it lands, both in terms of the investment and the publicity associated with a prominent company bringing back U.S. manufacturing jobs. Cook said Apple will spend $100 million on the project, creating opportunities for suppliers that would support the plant.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo was asked on an Albany radio show this week whether Apple was the unnamed company behind a large-scale high-tech project reportedly scouting the Albany and Utica regions as potential candidates.
"We're shopping a lot of businesses at any given time," Cuomo told the host, Fred Dicker. "Apple has a lot of competition obviously for their location, and I don't think they're anywhere yet in their decision-making."
California-based Apple has faced criticism for the working conditions in plants where its products are made in China and for its failure to use American workers to make its popular consumer electronics. Bringing some of that work stateside is seen as a plus for Apple's image, as well as a boost for U.S. manufacturing.
State Sen. Timothy Kennedy, D-Buffalo, wants Apple to pick the Buffalo area for its production. He made his pitch in a letter to Cook last week.
"Buffalo is an ideal site for Apple's new American production line not only because of our skilled workforce, but also because of the low-cost power accessible through the nearby Niagara Power Project and our strategic geographic location along the nation's border with Canada," Kennedy wrote.
Apple's media representatives did not respond to a message Tuesday to comment on whether the company was considering New York. The governor's press office cited Cuomo's statement in the radio interview as his view on the topic.
Albany publications have reported that a global consulting firm, working on behalf of an undisclosed client, is considering the Albany and Utica regions as potential sites for a high-tech business prospect dubbed "Project Azalea." But it appears that prospect might be entirely different from a U.S. Apple operation.
Tom Kucharski, chief executive officer of Buffalo Niagara Enterprise, said he couldn't talk specifically about trying to lure Apple, due to confidentiality commitments.
But Kucharski said in general, a state and a region have to make a credible case that they have the attributes, such as a large tract of land ready to use; an educated, available workforce; and nearby colleges, that high-tech companies want.
"It's a lot of moving parts on these really big projects to get in the game," he said. Then the key is to stay in the running, with more specific information, as the prospect cuts down its list of favorites, he said.
In Genesee County, plans are progressing for a high-tech business park that would seem to be a suitable setting for Apple or a computer chip-fabricating plant. The Western New York Science Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Park, or STAMP, would consist of more than 1,200 acres aimed at attracting technology-intensive companies.
The Town of Alabama this week voted, 5-0, in favor of a rezoning that will help STAMP move forward. Steven G. Hyde, chief executive officer of the Genesee County Economic Development Center, called the vote a "major milestone" for the project, which has been several years in the making.
Backers of STAMP are working on securing funding, acquiring land and designing the infrastructure to make the site ready for businesses. Taking care of those steps will give business prospects added confidence about the park's plans, Hyde said.
If Apple's timetable for starting U.S. manufacturing gets stretched out, giving STAMP more time to take shape, the Genesee County business park would be an ideal fit, Hyde said. "That's exactly the type of thing that STAMP is being built for."
As for Project Azalea, Hyde said STAMP is probably too early in its own development cycle to "go hard" at that prospect, which seems to be moving closer to choosing a location.
But he noted there are plans for chip-fabricating plants on the near horizon, and economic development officials got positive feedback when they talked up STAMP at an industry conference in San Jose, Calif.
Hyde said the Town of Alabama's vote was an important signal of local support for STAMP. A survey of residents and landowners found 68 percent of respondents were in favor of the project, he said.
The STAMP site is five miles north of the Pembroke exchange on the State Thruway. Advocates say the business park would benefit both the Buffalo and Rochester regions, by creating thousands of jobs and generating work for suppliers.

So far, great plugin. I am looking for some feedback/ideas on how best to achieve organising the posts into folders.
Click add to favourites as normal, but then, with a popup div, offering either add to main (the current favourite list page) or to create a subfolder/subfolders. Simular to how lightboxes work on stock photography websites.
In theory and from looking at the code it looks possible, create the html/jquery as standard, tie it into the plugin. But I think I would most likely need to create a new field or two in the db. Some sort of virtual directory listing perhaps, or even to create real folders within the plugin structure, though not ideal.
Anyone have any suggestions or feedback on this?

Hi all,
I'd like to setup my Permalinks like this...
...and I'd like my Category Base set to...
The Permalink structure works great if I leave the Category Case blank, but once I put /words in the Category Base, the permalink URLs are still alright, but I get 404 errors on the pages. The category URLs work fine though.
Note that this appears to be happening because I have the /words bit in both the Category Base and Permalink Structure -- If I switch the Category Base to something else, /words2 say, everything works fine (no broken links), but then I don't appear to have everything blog related contained within a 'words' directory.
Any ideas how I can get this to all work together?

Understanding Social Engineering: How to Avoid Phishing Attacks
In the context of information technology, social engineering refers to the act of tricking people into divulging confidential or sensitive business information, and breaking security policies. This form of attack infiltrates companies by targeting their weakest access point, which predominantly is a firm's employees.
The Art of the Phishing Con
Let's examine a popular technique for social engineering known as phishing. In a phishing scheme, the hacker broadly disseminates a fraudulent email with aim to acquire sensitive data, such as, login credentials, IT resources or banking information. The message may request the recipient to submit personal information or to click on a link embedded with malware. Although this approach rarely dupes sophisticated users, a distracted employee could make one mistake and compromise a firm's entire network.

2015 Hedge Fund Trends & SEC Exam Priorities (Webinar Recap)
With a new year comes new regulations for hedge funds and investment firms. Earlier this week, Eze Castle Integration hosted a webinar during which Ricardo Davidovich, partner at Haynes & Boone LLP shared his insight into the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) new examination priorities as well as reoccurring themes firms should expect to see play out through the year.
What's New in 2015
Retail Investors
One priority for examinations this year is the focus on retail investors. Davidovich says that "hedge funds, which in [the SEC's] mind have historically been an exclusive and private club, are being sold to the retail and consumer client base." Meaning they will be taking a closer look at the types of fees being sold, the sales practices and the suitability analysis. Firms should focus on making sure no information released is misleading and that there are provisions against fraud. There should be a real emphasis on policies to create guidelines that can be shown and proven to the SEC.

Microsoft Licensing Audits Ramping Up: Are you up to date?
This fall, Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system captured the attention of many customers. Windows 8, however, isn't the only Microsoft change 2013 will bring. Microsoft is planning to provide stricter oversight of its auditing process by conducting up to 30,000 licensing audits on small to midsize companies by 2014. Here is an overview of why you should ensure that your software is up to date and what to expect when it comes to the Microsoft licensing audits.
What are the Microsoft Licensing Audits?
In 2013, Microsoft will conduct audits on customers' software usage. The audits will be mainly focused on mid-size companies with 500 - 2,000 computers. Many large companies have already put strict companywide licensing policies in place, but smaller firms typically have less formalized processes for ensuring all devices are licensed appropriately.

Hedge Fund Tech Compliance Update
On Tuesday, we began our webinar recap by looking at Form PF requirements and recommendations and other essentials for maintaining an effective compliance program. The second half of our webinar focused on technology compliance, specifically around message archiving, email security and mobile device management. Let's take a closer look at some of the content that was covered. If video is more your style, you can watch a replay of the webinar here.
Record Retention & Message Archiving
The SEC currently requires investment advisers to retain all internal and external electronic business communications. Rule 204-2 mentions the following specific measures:
In order to meet the requirements of the SEC, firms must retain and archive more than just email. Instant messages, Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters messages and other electronic communications are also considered required archival material.

Hedge Fund Form PF: Getting the compliance basics right
Is your firm registered with the SEC? Do you manage one or more private funds with assets of at least $150 million? If you said yes to these questions, then you have some homework to do. Under SEC regulations, your firm is required to file Form PF.
During a recent webinar, we asked ACA Compliance Group to talk us through the requirements and recommendations for filing Form PF as well as some additional compliance program recommendations. Below is a short recap of ACA's presentation. To listen to the full replay of our event, click here.
Form PF: Requirements & Recommendations
Depending on your firm's fund type and assets under management (AUM), the deadline for your Form PF filing may be sooner rather than later. Larger funds - including hedge fund managers, liquidity managers and private equity managers - will need to file sooner, while the majority of registered investment advisers won't need to file until early next year.

Data Jurisdiction in the Cloud: The Patriot Act Fear Factor
Cloud computing has gained popularity over the years and is now fast approaching a global scale as hedge funds around the world leverage this innovative technology to help improve efficiency and cut costs. However, cloud computing raises unique data regulation and jurisdiction considerations as cloud environments span multiple geographic locations and data is not tied to one physical location. In today's article we will look at data regulation and jurisdiction considerations for UK companies utilising US headquartered cloud providers.
Many cloud service providers are increasingly serving customers outside their home markets and using service delivery models that require the transmission of data across borders, which has led to a great deal of fear about the rights of access under the USA PATRIOT Act and the geographical extension of those.
Beyond the US, in December 2011 the European Commission published results of its cloud computing consultation, which showed a lack of understanding about the EU legal framework that cloud computing should be implemented within. It also signaled that there is still a widespread need for clarification on rights, responsibilities, data protection and liability in the cloud, especially in cross-border situations.

I bought a King Size Mattress for the Original Mattress Factory. I put in a complaint about the mattress. It does not feel good, it develop deep indents in it. The mattress was looked at by a service representative. I was informed that there was nothing wrong with the mattress.
Since then the mattress as gotten worse to sleep on. I put a report on this site about three weeks ago. I received a letter for the Original Mattress Factory that I would have to haul the mattress to their factory, have the mattress cut open, watch the mattress being repaired, then haul it home and I would be without a mattress for three days.
I walk with a cane and have a service dog. I would like to know how I am suppose to haul a mattress from a second floor, to the Original Mattress Factory. My old mattress was much better.
Please do not buy any of the Origian Mattress Factory product. They do not stand behing the products and will rip you off. I paid close to $2000 for the mattress and box springs.
