Charities will become "the preserve of a wealthy elite" if they refuse to pay their graduate interns, the sector has been warned.
The Unite union and campaign group Intern Aware say their research shows charities are among the worst offenders when it comes to getting interns to work without pay because, unlike private companies, they can get round minimum wage legislation by calling them "volunteers".
But by refusing to pay them, only graduates from wealthy families, or whose parents live in London where most big charities are based, can afford to work there for nothing, often for as long as

Sorry, Lois Lane. The Man of Steel is officially off the market.
Superman Returns actor Brandon Routh married his longtime girlfriend, actress Courtney Ford, on Saturday at the beautiful El Capitan Ranch in Santa Barbara, PEOPLE confirms exclusively.
"Even though it cooled off into the evening, I can only feel the warmth and love in this breath-taking setting," wedding planner Katie Tiffany of Tiffany Weddings said.
The bride wore a Junko Yoshioka sheath dress with Chantilly lace and platinum beading and topped off her look with pave-diamond earrings by Neil Lane – fitting since her engagement ring is also by Neil Lane. The groom traded in his tights and cape for a cashmere suit by Looysen Fine Clothing.
Routh, 28, proposed to Ford, 29, in Glastonbury, England, during last summer's Superman press tour. But the lovebirds kept the news hush-hush until he was done promoting the film. "They were so excited! It was hard to keep it to themselves," says a family friend.
The couple met four years ago. "I used to work at Lucky Strike," Routh told PEOPLE in January, referring to the hip bowling alley in Hollywood. "I was a bartender. And her brother was having his [wedding] rehearsal dinner party there."
Added Ford: "He met my whole family the day he met me."
The pair, who told PEOPLE they like to watch DVDs – particularly the special features – together, were apart for five months while Routh was shooting Superman Returns in Australia, but Ford says they relied on "nightly phone calls" to remain close.
Speaking with PEOPLE in June, Routh called Ford his personal kryptonite. "She brings me to my knees," he said.

As students flocked to college campuses the past few weeks, some for the first time, the man who is charged with leading Lycoming College began what will be his last year at the helm.
Dr. James E. Douthat, college president for the past 23 years, plans to retire from his post June 30, 2013.
As he walked onto campus recently for the first day of classes, it became the first of many lasts he will experience.
Article Photos
Dr. James E. Douthat speaks at the recent convocation for new students at Lycoming College.
"Basically we're now going into the time where there are one last times, but I think that's true of everybody at every job so I don't think there's anything particularly unique about it," Douthat said.
Douthat has seen plenty of change during his career in education. Although most students commonly use technology to complete assignments, Douthat remembers a time when a card catalogue was a student's most-trusted ally in research.
"Williamsport has changed a lot in the past five years, much less in the last 23 years," he said.
But this change is different for Douthat, although he hasn't given himself much time to reflect as he focuses on a new semester.
"It is a seven-day-a-week business in the sense of committee meetings occur on weekends, alumni meetings and many events are on weekends, homecoming, football games, trustee meetings," he said. "It's kind of hard to have reflective thoughts when you're moving into the next day and you've got to do something. So I suspect what I'll miss, positively or negatively, is the pace. The pace is in one way invigorating and in other ways it's that you have very little of your own time."
The change of pace may be a welcomed one in Douthat's retirement, as his schedule will suddenly be wide open.
"I think what I'm most looking forward to is the first three weeks. Taking time off, reading books that I haven't had the chance to read. Sometime in that three weeks I'll decide what happens in the fourth week," he said with a laugh.
But before Douthat gets to that point, he said, there's a job to do. This year is not about his last year, but for many, their first year.
"One of the realities is that a vast majority of the campus is going to be involved in creating their experience at Lycoming, certainly our students, certainly our faculty. So I see it as a transition and I would guess that most people will hopefully see it as a very normal year as they go about their business as faculty and students and staff and do what they're supposed to be doing," Douthat said.
So while still focusing on this year, at some point Douthat is sure that he will be overcome with memories and feelings of the past 23 year. But just not yet.
"I haven't been struck with that nostalgia just yet and I'm sure I will be and my guess is that will probably be event specific but I don't know what it is. Will it be the last homecoming? Will it be the last Christmas service? Will it be graduation? Maybe it will be packing up the house but I don't know which event it will be," he explained.
Graduation is the best day as a president, Douthat said. He said getting to be a part of one of the biggest accomplishments in a person's life means a lot to him.
"I think probably the most exciting parts are watching that launch for students and in many cases one of the advantages of being here for 23 years (is) you get to see what they did in their 20s, what they did in their 30s, what they did in their 40s," he said.
But he knows that when a student graduates, they are not only helping themselves.
"It's not just launching the individual, it's launching the individual to go out and improve the society in some way," Douthat said.
But as he goes into the next stage of his life, Douthat hopes that the college continues to have the same values and goals as it has in the past 200 years, "preparing students for their next stage in life," with a good education.
He also hopes that the college will continue to adapt and accept not just the change in presidency but in everything.
"I think the most important thing for the institution is, does it have the flexibility and capability and talent from the people who are there to respond to that change in a way that moves it forward? So if I've done a decent job, I've left the institution with the base on which they can respond to that change and move forward," he said.

Train teachers to see student warning signs
December 31, 2012
A new Ohio law requiring that both public and private school teachers be trained in recognizing students who may be considering suicide, and in doing something about it, is an excellent idea....
Finally, a common sense idea from the Trib editors that might work.
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
And we pay for this how? By slashing local mental health budgets, teacher pay and state universities who are responsible for training these folks? Nice gesture Trib, but it's mere window dressing disguised to confuse the reader as to your true agenda.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
And the Trib, Liberals and lawyers will be in line to criticize/sue the teacher who reports a possible troubled teen for violating their rights. This is another no win for the teachers. MOST teachers know who these kids are now and there is little they can do about it.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Great article Trib - this is the start then we have to discuss the ways to keep these people away from the students.

Co-op News
Pipeline Explosion Hits Co-op LinesBy Derrill Holly | ECT Staff Writer Published: July 1st, 2013
A natural gas pipeline explosion ripped down power lines and sparked a fire that burned utility poles, knocking out power to nearly 18,000 in Louisiana. Crews from a local electric cooperative and a major regional investor-owned utility scrambled to make repairs to their systems and restore service.
When the 30-inch pipeline ruptured and exploded early June 18, the force of the blast obliterated an 80-foot section of the Florida Gas Transmission line, which moves natural gas from south Texas to markets in southern Florida.
Members of Washington-St. Tammany Electric Cooperative living in nearby homes were shaken out of bed by the blast. Trees within 200 yards of the shattered pipeline were knocked down, and those up to 1,500 feet away were burned.
Although the resulting fire was hot enough to melt siding on nearby mobile homes, there were no reported deaths or injuries.
About 55 of the co-op's members who live in the area were temporarily evacuated as flames shot to 100 feet in the air. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, and it is unclear when natural gas shipments through the 5,500-mile pipeline will resume.
"The explosion left quite a crater in the right of way and the fire was intense enough to completely burn away the vegetation, but damage to our system was relatively minor," said Coylean Schloegel, manager of marketing and economic development for Washington-St. Tammany.
"Once we were able to get in to make repairs that afternoon, our crews completed the work quickly." More than 17,600 co-op members were affected.
"We worked with the Washington Parish Sheriff's Department and the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry wildland firefighters who wanted to secure the scene before our crews were able to go in," said Schloegel.
Crews from the Franklinton-based co-op stood by with firefighters equipped with bulldozers and a pumper truck while pipeline operators dispatched a field operations crew based about 320 miles away in Houston.
"Our firefighters were called to assist because the fire happened in a wooded area with acres of land at risk," said LDAF Commissioner Mike Strain. The damage occurred in a utility right of way shared by the co-op, pipeline operators and Entergy, which has transmission assets in the area.
"Our crews worked along with Entergy to get service restored," said Schloegel. "But major repairs were not made until after the damaged pipeline was vented and residual gas was allowed to dissipate."

The Jakarta Post
Gianyar chose to take a different path in its tourism development by officially banning the construction of increasingly-popular condominium hotels, known as condotels, and apartment facilities in the regency known as the resort island's cultural mecca.
"We have decided to ban the development of condotels or apartments in our region. The policy was made to control physical development, as well as protecting our local entrepreneurs," Gianyar Regent Anak Agung Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati, said.
Condotels and apartments are currently the hottest items in the market for tourist developers and investors in Badung and Denpasar. Building condotels and apartments has also provided them with a legal way to navigate around the moratorium on new hotel development in southern Bali, issued by Bali governor Made Mangku Pastika in early 2011. Badung, Denpasar and Gianyar are the three richest regions in Bali and most of their wealth comes from tourism.
Sukawati said there was a valid concern that the development of condotels and apartments would marginalize local entrepreneurs in Gianyar. "Most of the investors in condotels and apartments bring with them lots of capital, and they are mostly coming from outside Bali. This could pose powerful competition for our local entrepreneurs. That's why we prefer to ban that kind of investment in Gianyar," he said.
Unlike Badung and Denpasar, where a growing number of tourism facilities are owned or operated by non-local companies, Gianyar's hotels are mostly owned by local companies or entrepreneurs. The regency's tourism crown, Ubud, is a perfect example. In this small town, a large majority of starred and non-starred hotels are owned by natives of Ubud, including the influential Ubud royal family, to which Sukawati belongs.
Gianyar regency now has around 7,000 hotel rooms, most of which are owned by local entrepreneurs.
Separately, former Bali Tourism Board chief and local tourism businessman Bagus Sudibya highlighted the possible negative impact of the ongoing boom in condotel and apartment development.
He pointed to the fact that many locals have been sidelined after selling their land to property developers. Bagus urged the administration to issue a bylaw that regulates local residents' land ownership.
"Instead of easily offering their land for sale, they can offer their land for rent. An administration regulation is needed to support this," said Bagus, citing the urgency of implementing the build-operate-transfer (BOT) system for land, which allowed the land to be returned to the locals after a certain concession period has been completed.

Player of the Game
Backup catcher Lou Marson took advantage of a rare start to grab his first 'Player of the Game' award this season. Marson has been extremely consistent this season, trailing only Grady Sizemore (1.94) in average 'POG' score per game with a 1.74 in 8 games. Today Marson earned 3.43 'POG' points with three hits including a triple and an RBI single. He also scored a run. The only other hitter today with a score over two was Asdrubal Cabrera, who knocked in the first two Indians runs of the game on a single.
Feathers Up
Going into this series against Oakland we knew runs would be at a premium and the Indians still managed to take 2 games and win the series improving their overall record to 21-9. In the three game series the Indians scored 9 times and the A's only scored 6 times. Extra-base hits were also hard to come by and only two home runs were hit in the entire series, both by David Dejesus against Josh Tomlin last night. Don't expect things to get any easier as next, the Indians will travel to Anaheim to take on the Angels who will be starting Jared Weaver in game two and Dan Haren in game three. Both these pitchers have been among the top in the league so far and last time the Tribe faced Haren he shut them out.
There was some spectacular defense today especially by Indians short stop Asdrubal Cabrera and Athletics center fielder Ryan Sweeney. Cabrera did have an error, but the fact he even got to that ball was amazing and he had multiple other plays on ground balls that were far from routine. Joe Smith also deserves some credit for making a catch on a pop fly behind the mound. I've been getting tired of pitchers who don't field their position, so it was refreshing to see Smith make such an athletic play. If he hadn't made that play, the A's probably would have scored and possibly would have won in regulation.
Feathers Down
There was also some very bad defense today. Some disgustingly bad defense. Austin Kearns made another poor attempt on a fly ball to left field that Michael Brantley, with his better speed and instincts, almost surely would have caught. Jack Hannahan bobbled an easy (for him) grounder that allowed an inning to continue. Shelley Duncan dropped a foul ball that hit him in the mitt and Orlando Cabrera watched a ball drop five feet away from him after he lost it in the sun. For a team that defense has been a strength, this play was surprisingly bad.
Shin-Soo Choo was held hitless for the series and only reached base four times (3 walks and a fielder's choice). This comes directly after his arrest for DUI earlier this week and you have to wonder if that affected his mental state at all. Before this short slump, Choo had an 8 game hitting streak going.
"Everyday Pure Rage" Chris Perez had some control problems today (1 walk, 2 singles allowed), probably stemming from fatigue. Perez has been overused in the last week due to the large number of close games. Perez has pitched in five of the Indians last six games and each of the Indians last 5 wins. What Chris could use right now is a couple of blowouts against the Angels, preferably by more than five runs each.
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 4 runs on 11 hits, Oakland Athleticos 3 runs on 11 hits in 12 innings

Apologies for the semi-xpost here, but I want to cover the bases for this awesome project by two of my favorite peeps in the whole world... their efforts have had a great effect on the Portland (ME) beer scene & this campaign will help them keep rolling... Anything helps! RVAers especially can appreciate the notion of "Drink Local", so help these folks out if you're in a position to do so!

Wednesday came and went without a linebacker signing. That means the roster the Giants had when Jonathan Goff was injured will likely be the roster they have on Sunday at 4:15 against the Redskins. Today's practice will be crucial because it's the last day the Giants will get significant work before the game.
-- Goff's replacement, at least for now, is sixth-round pick Greg Jones, who has gone from third-string to starter in three days.
-- With all these injuries, pressure is on Tom Coughlin in another make-or-break season for the coach. He doesn't want your sympathy, although Star-Ledger columnist Steve Politi says he might deserve it.
-- One player who the Giants can count on to be healthy is Eli Manning, who is starting his 104th consecutive game on Sunday. That gives Manning the longest streak among quarterbacks, a feat that has included close calls throughout his career.
-- Devin Thomas is motivated by words spoken from Washington coach Mike Shanahan. Also in the notebook is an update on Jake Ballard's starting spot and injury reports from both sides.
-- If anyone's been out of touch for the past six weeks, here's your refresher course: The Star-Ledger's Giants season preview. You'll find players to watch, games to watch, story lines, a depth chart and more.
-- In Washington, LaRon Landry is not expected to play on Sunday and John Beck is still waiting for his chance to start at quarterback.

Carson Pirie Scott & CompanyCategory:ARTS & CULTURE
Carson Pirie Scott & Company's former flagship store, designed by Louis H. Sullivan (1856-1924) was also built in stages, beginning in 1899, 1903, augmented by an addition by D. H. Burnham & Co. in 1906, and ending with a 1961 addition by Holabird and Root. Although Carson's wide windows and narrow piers are expressive of the internal steel frame, the building is more famous for its exquisite ornament by Sullivan. The embellished storefronts, newly restored decorative cornice, and ornate columns capitals on the interior all bear Sullivan's personal style of ornament. It was both named a Chicago Landmark and listed in the National Register in 1970. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1975.

Lake Nona to Host 2010 USGA Senior Amateur
Lake Nona Golf and Country Club in Orlando, Fla., has been selected as the site of the 2010 USGA Senior Amateur. The championship will be played October 2-7.
Designed by Tom Fazio, Lake Nona opened in 1986. Its the home course for many PGA and LPGA professionals who use Orlando as their home base.
The club has hosted the World Cup of Golf, the inaugural Solheim Cup in 1990, the 1995 USGA State Team Championship, and the 2004 Tavistock Cup (a match-play style event between Lake Nona and Isleworth touring pro members).
Lake Nona has also hosted U.S. Open sectional qualifiers in 1993, 2003 and 04. Most recently, the club held this year's NCAA Men's Division I East Regional.
"Lake Nona is a demanding golf course that will test even the most seasoned contestants," said Andy Odenbach, VP of Sports Ventures for Tavistock Group. "Lake Nona looks forward to welcoming both the contestants and the USGA to Orlando for a memorable week of competition in 2010."
Prior to 2010, the USGA Senior Amateur will be played at Victoria National Golf Club in Newburgh, Ind., from September 16-21, 2006; at Flint Hills National Golf Club in Andover, Kan., from September 1-6, 2007; at The Beverly Country Club in Chicago, Ill., from September 20-25, 2008; and at Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, from September 12-17, 2009.
The Senior Amateur is open to amateurs, age 55 and older, who have a USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 7.4. It is one of 13 championships conducted annually by the USGA, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.
Recent past champions include Mike Rice (2005), Mark Bemowski (2004), Greg Reynolds (2002), Kemp Richardson (2001 and 2003) and Bill Shean (1998 and 2000). Other notable winners are Lew Oehmig (1972, 1976, 1985), Dale Morey (1974, 1977), Bill Hyndman III (1973, 1983) and Bill Campbell (1979, 1980).

Racial imbalance
September 8, 2013
On the Travon Martin and George Zimmerman case, the president, Al Sharpton and some others, were it like flies on garbage....
The longer Dumbama is in office, the more common these black-on-white occurrences happen. Thanks to him, racism is at it's worst right now, since the days when I lived in George Wallace's Alabama.

"Why is the news media not speaking up more about this to the president. I think the news media is afraid, that they might insult the president.
That's racial imbalance in this country, there are three examples." - Al Mills

The media and race hustlers have always played favor to white on black crime over the reverse.
The FBI Uniform Crime Report says that an inter-racial murder is 400% more likely to be black on white than white on black.
Of course, that pales in comparison to black on black murder.
But much of the media, race hustlers and racist liberals (like Sham) only see white on black racism.
In fact, some liberals have actually argued that black citizens cannot be racist because they have no power.
It clearly illustrates how liberals hope to twist reality for their own perverted purposes.

The answer, Mr. Mills, is very simple. Money. There is no money or power to be gained by the crew you mentioned and others like them by pointing out violence by other races toward other races. The only way they stay relevant and "employed" is by ginning up the race war between blacks and whites. It is sad that the very ones who purport to "care" are the very ones who hold back progress. And the media laps it up.

A few other cases come to mind, recently an 88 year old WWII vet, "Shorty", was beaten to death by young black men, an 82 year old white woman was beaten and robbed by a young black man as she left church in Pittsburgh, and the shooting death of the Australian student come to mind.
In each case, had the races been reversed, there would have been wall to wall coverage on TV, and Sharpton, Jackson, and Farrakhan would have been screaming their heads off.

Radioactive, like Shaman and Reeder, you paint everyone with a broad brush and personally I take offense to it. I spent many years in the service and we were all the color green.

Actually all were covered. You would have to channel jump between Fox, MSNBC and CNN to know that. I watch all three to try and get various perspectives. Usually the heavy hitters are on at opposite times. I know Fox claimed repeatedly that no one else covered this. That was simply untrue. Hannity was the biggest pusher of this fallacy. I watch him for laughs. Martin is a poor example. The original "Stand Your Ground" assertion which devolved to self-defense was the driver for coverage. If a black neighborhood watch guy killed a white unarmed teenager the coverage would also have existed. The second driver was the ongoing gun debate. Sometimes we assume answers are superficial when we should look to the underlines.

It's not quite practicing all week with games on Sunday, but when the NFL calendar resets at 4 p.m. ET Tuesday and free agency begins, there will be a flurry of NFL activity.
With just under $4.5 million in salary cap space, according to Spotrac.com, the Panthers don't have the cash to make a huge impact on their roster via free agency.
But Carolina still has to improve its roster and show its fanbase it can take steps forward from its 7-9 record last year. How will the Panthers get that done?
Consider this your daily buffet (and here you don't have to pay or leave a tip) featuring everything you could ever want to know about the Panthers in free agency. When players are added or released or when the rumor mill starts buzzing, check back here for the news.
Check back frequently because we're going to be keeping score.

So the editor has asked you to write a book review. You're flattered. After all, the editor has presumably chosen you because you are knowledgeable about the book's subject – possibly even an expert.
On the other hand, the editor might be desperate… looking for someone capable of reading a book without lips moving, and with the potential – maybe – to provide illuminating commentary. For it's true that book reviews and not obituaries are the real graveyard of publishing.
Nonetheless, there are certain guidelines to help you write a reader-friendly and reader-useful critique:
A sample book review, previously published in the British Medical Journal, is available here.
This book is an excellent addition to any collection on cost-effectiveness methods. It describes and gives usable examples of such methods.
The first edition was published in the mid-1980s; this third edition reflects new techniques, the many different recommendations for performing cost-effectiveness analyses, and recommendations for formatting descriptions of cost-effectiveness analysis results.
A key feature is the description of cost-effectiveness analyses conducted using either patient level data (such as analyses that are conducted alongside randomized trials) or decision analytic modelling. The authors highlight the strengths and weaknesses of both types of studies and make clear the challenges that an analyst will face in either type of study.
This book provides a balanced view of what economic evaluation may provide to enhance healthcare resource allocation.
This text is required reading for students in my introductory cost-effectiveness course. Why? Because it combines a discussion of the United States Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine's recommendations, general readability, and an introduction to decision analysis.
First, for most students in an introductory course, knowing what the US Panel's recommendations were and that they were the result of well-reasoned debate is sufficient. The US recommendations are likely to remain relevant to US audiences as they have been the only federal government-based recommendations.
Second, the Haddix et al. text is readable.
Third, the book provides an introduction to decision analysis, an integral part of many cost-effectiveness studies in the literature.
Finally, this is a useful text for an introductory cost-effectiveness course for anyone with no decision analysis background who needs to be aware of US recommendations.

A One-Day Workshop at the University of Aberdeen
Friday, May 28, 2010
The workshop aims to explore conceptions of ideal socio-economic relations as depicted in utopian writings of the 17th-19th centuries and, further, to explore the role envisioned for scientific enquiry and the application of scientific knowledge within imaginary, idealized societies. Abstracts are welcome on any aspect of the topic, which we hope to develop into a larger project.
Speakers to include R Serjeantson, D Garber, L Shapiro, and N Smith

It's official: The Los Angeles County coroner announced on Friday that Michael Jackson's death has been ruled a homicide.
According to the coroner's report, the singer suffered from "acute propofol intoxication." Other drugs detected in his system included lorazepam (Ativan), midazolam, diazepam (Valium), lidocaine (an anesthetic), and ephedrine.
Dr. Conrad Murray – Jackson's personal physician who admitted to police that he had given the singer drugs to sleep – maintains his innocence. His attorney Ed Chernoff issued a statement Friday afternoon saying that the coroner's report was "nothing new."
"This has all the earmarks of police gamesmanship, and we will not be responding until we get a full autopsy report, including the entire list of drugs found in Mr. Jackson, their quantities, and all other data that would allow independent medical experts to analyze and interpret," the statement said.
The homicide finding – meaning death at the hands of another – is only one of five rulings a coroner can make in a death investigation. Among the others: natural, suicide, accident, and "could not be determined."
The Jackson family issued a statement after the report was released, praising authorities for their work. "The Jackson family again wishes to commend the actions of the Coroner, the LAPD and other law enforcement agencies, and looks forward to the day that justice can be served," the statement said.
According to unsealed search warrants, Murray told LAPD detectives that he had been treating the singer for insomnia for about six weeks, and had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night intravenously. Jackson referred to propofol, a cloudy white fluid, as his "milk," according to the affidavit.
But Murray told police he was worried Jackson was becoming addicted to the powerful anesthetic and tried to ease him off it. But on the morning of Jackson's death on June 25, Murray told authorities that after repeated demands from the singer to give him propofol, the doctor gave in and administered 25 milligrams of propofol diluted with lidocaine to keep him sedated.
Minutes after giving him the drug, Murray found Jackson not breathing. The singer, 50, was pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center.
LAPD had no comment on Friday regarding the coroner's ruling.

In the notoriously fickle apparel industry, trends can change quickly. For investors who are looking for exposure to the sector, it's best to be diversified.
Gap got very aggressive with its promotions in December, including offering discounts of up to 50% off for most of the month. This should have helped drive more traffic to Gap's stores as consumers flocked to deals and focused on discount brands.
What's more is that Gap recently posted December same-store sales that were flat, but sales for the holiday season were up 2% year over year. In its most recent quarter, Gap posted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.72, up from $0.63 in the year-earlier period.
Back From The Brink
Do you remember how Gap struggled in the latter part of the past decade? It may seem unlikely now, but Gap had declining same-store sales every year from 2005 to 2010.
Then, in 2011, the retailer started to turn things around. Gap focused on improving its brand assortments and styles, improved brand marketing and eliminated underperforming stores. The strategy paid off, and Gap posted same-store sales growth of 5% in its 2013 fiscal year.
|Gap has focused on improving its brand assortments and styles, brand marketing and eliminating underperforming stores.
To keep up this trend, Gap continues to increase traffic to its stores and online sites. The retailer has been boosting its online business and working to expand its global footprint. By the end of this year, Gap hopes sales from overseas stores and its online sales will account for 30% of total sales, which would be an increase of 3% over last year.
With its ability to generate strong free cash flow, Gap can reward investors in a number of ways beyond EPS growth -- and one of the most overlooked aspects of Gap is its potential for "Total Yield."
Simply put, "Total Yield" stocks are companies that use the cash they generate to pay steady dividends, buy back large amounts of their own stock, and pay down debt. Our research shows that companies that execute on all these fronts outperform the S&P 500 -- and regular dividend investing -- by a wide margin.
Reaping The Rewards
Since 2004, Gap has returned more than $14 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. In the first nine months of last year, Gap paid out $232 million in dividends and spent $875 million buying back shares. As a result, its return on equity is over 40%, the highest it has been over the past decade. Gap has also kept its balance sheet in a very manageable position, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 40%.
Gap's forward dividend yield is 2.1% amounts to a payout of less than 25% of earnings. That payout ratio remains low even after Gap increased its dividend payment 900% since 2004, to the current $0.20 a share.
It's also worth mentioning that Gap has buy-in from several high-profile investors. The largest shareholders remain the founding Fisher family with a 38% stake in the company, but after them are Steve Mandel's Lone Pine Capital and John Griffin's Blue Ridge Capital with stakes of 5% and 1.4%, respectively.
Risks to Consider: The retail sector is extremely competitive, and shoppers' tastes can change in an instant. Failure by Gap to stay on top of current trends could lead to a loss in sales and customers. However, Gap has been in business since 1969 and has shown that it can adapt to a changing market environment.
Action to Take --> Buy Gap with 15% upside to $44. That's just under 16 times forward earnings and is still well below peers such as American Eagle (NYSE: AEO) and Urban Outfitters (Nasdaq: URBN). Not only is GAP one of the cheapest stocks in the industry, it also has one of the highest dividend yields.

Jessica Alba will be a working mom
Submitted by Nina Sahu on Fri, 02/15/2008 - 11:18
Washington, Feb 15: Pregnant actress Jessica Alba is planning to jump straight back in front of the camera as soon as she gives birth to her first child later this year (08).
(Jessica Alba Photos)
The 26-year-old actress has revealed that once she gets out of labour, she will soon get back to work so that she can set a good example for her baby.
"Of course. I think it's important to still be your own person. I don't know if it's healthy if you lose yourself completely," Contactmusic quoted Alba, as saying.
"I think kids appreciate it if you still move on with your individuality and you're living the example that you want your kids to emulate," she added.
Recently, Alba revealed that she would only speak in Spanish with her baby. (ANI)

About destination options for recovery points
When you define or schedule a backup job, you can save recovery points to a network share. Or, you can save them to a local drive, USB drive, or FireWire drive on the client computer.
You should avoid storing recovery points on the Backup Exec System Recovery Manager server. As the number or size of recovery points grows, you have less disk space available for regular server use. When you save recovery points to a separate drive or a network location, this problem is eliminated. Also, if you decide to store recovery points on the client computer, store them to a secondary hard disk. Do not store them on the primary hard disk C. This practice helps ensure that you can recover the system in the event that the client's primary hard disk fails.
The following table shows the advantages and disadvantages of different storage locations for recovery points.

About the Diversity Certificate ProgramThe Diversity Certificate Program (DCP) facilitates student learning about human diversity. DCP students study diversity from multiple disciplinary perspectives in courses that highlight race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and social and economic inequality. Students work with the DCP advisor to create individualized plans of study that complement their major degree plans and help them meet their unique personal, professional, and academic goals.
Outside of the classroom DCP students take advantage of UTA's rich cultural and educational programming by attending campus events that broaden their understanding of diversity. Students are also provided with many opportunities to interact by participating on the DCP Newsletter Advisory Board, attending DCP meet-ups, and using virtual discussion board platforms maintained for DCP students through Blackboard.
The DCP adds value to all undergraduate degree plans by preparing students to live and work with members of diverse populations. The flexibility of the Diversity Certificate plan allows students to pursue their own interests and focus on coursework that will serve them in their chosen professional and/or academic field.
UT Arlington began offering a diversity certificate spring 2014 and currently boasts 70 actively enrolled students and 5 graduates!
DCP students are required to complete 12-credit hours by taking courses that highlight various aspects of human diversity. Students must complete 3-credit hours in each of the following diversity domains: 1) racial and ethnic relations, 2) gender and sexuality, and 3) social and economic inequality. They must also complete a capstone course (SOCW 3317 Human Behavior and Diverse Populations or MANA 4326 Diversity in Organizations). Additionally, students must attend three pre-approved co-curricular campus events that highlight aspects of human diversity. The final requirement is a 3-page paper in which students reflect on their experiences in DCP courses and at DCP approved co-curricular events. The paper must be submitted to the DCP advisor during their final semester in the program.
All matriculating UT Arlington undergraduate students with a 2.5+ GPA are eligible to apply to the DCP.

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez reportedly didn't appreciate being made into a Super Bowl spectacle.
The Yankees' slugger joined the Star Wars Kid as water cooler topics on Monday, a day after cameras captured girlfriend Cameron Diaz feeding A-Rod a piece of popcorn, a cozy moment broadcast to an estimated audience of 111 million.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times' Bill Swecker, Rodriguez was not pleased. According to Swecker's anonymous source, Fox agreed not to show any more shots of Rodriguez and Diaz watching the game from a box at Cowboys Stadium.
"He really went ballistic — thinking the cameraman was out to get them in a paparazzi-like shot. ... That's so crazy," the source told Zwecker.

Wailuku resident Bob Gagne bought a van for $800, but within an hour on Friday afternoon his used car was going up in flames -- with him inside.
"My life went in front of my eyes," said the 60-year-old husband and father of two. "I thought I was dead."
Gagne said he picked up the van Friday afternoon from its former owner in Maalaea.
"The guy never told me there was a fuel leak," he said.
On his way home, Gagne noticed the 1997 Mercury Villager GS van's fuel was low, so he pulled into the gas station next to Carl's Junior to put $40 of fuel in the tank.
Back on Honoapiilani Highway, he saw his gas gauge dropping. And, as he approached Kamehameha Golf Course, he started to smell gas and smoke, and he asked himself, "What the hell?"
Article Map
Smoke began to seep into the vehicle, "and the next thing I know there's flames coming up through the dashboard," he said. Around 4 p.m, he pulled over to highway's shoulder roughly halfway between the golf course and the Maui Tropical Plantation.
"Then, I couldn't get the seat belt off. I couldn't open the damn door," Gagne said. "I thought I was dead. The whole car caught on fire."
Somehow, he got out of the vehicle uninjured.
"I don't know how I didn't get burned," Gagne said.
