Three small white caskets stood open at the front of the church, covered in flowers.
One man doubled over in grief at the sight. Another sagged into the arms of relatives, who struggled to hold him up as he choked out two words: "My boy."
Relatives and friends clung to each other as they made their way down the aisle at the North Philadelphia Seventh-day Adventist Church. One woman rushed down the aisle, crying, "It's not real."
As the bodies of three siblings lay in the white caskets on a bright Monday morning, hundreds filed past to pay their respects - politicians and pastors, teachers from Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary, and even a local motorcycle club, decked out in leather vests.

This month, ChildFund is focusing on the harvest and traditional foods in the communities where we work, so check here often in October to find recipes and more. Today, we look at Ethiopia. The basis for Ethiopian cuisine is injera, a large flatbread that has a sponge-like texture similar to a pancake. Here's more about injera and how it's made:
We often talk about how a lack of clean water affects many facets of a child's life. He or she is likely to become sick, miss school and be exposed to danger, all because there is no source of fresh water nearby. But this video really shows the struggle. Here's Aleyka, a girl from Ethiopia whose days are consumed by the quest for water for her family. Video by Jake Lyell.
Reporting by Tenagne Mekonnen, Africa Regional Communications Manager
In 1976, thousands of black school children took to the streets of Soweto, South Africa. In a march stretching more than half a mile, they protested the inferior quality of their education and demanded their right to be taught in their own language. Hundreds of young boys and girls were shot down by security forces. In the two weeks of protest that followed, more than 100 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.
To honor the memory of those killed and the courage of all those who marched, the Day of the African Child has been celebrated on June 16 since 1991, when it was first initiated by the Organization of African Unity (now known as the African Union). ChildFund takes part in the day, which draws attention to the lives of African children today. This year's theme was A Child-Friendly, Quality, Free and Compulsory Education for All Children in Africa.
Below, we offer excerpts of speeches given by four young women enrolled in ChildFund Ethiopia's programs, who spoke to the African Union in Addis Ababa on June 16.
Eden, age 16.
"Governments have the ability to give quality, free and compulsory education for all children in Africa by having a meeting with all African leaders and discuss the issues about what things can be done to create a better education system and prepare training for all African teachers."
Helen, age 14.
"Even though formal schooling is important, this is not enough. Our families are the people that we see when we first open our eyes. And we learn a lot of things from them and most importantly from the society. If a child is to be educated, then the contribution of families, society and friends is very important. This is because they build us in a very faithful, good manner. This is what we are looking forward to, and I believe we are on our way."
Aziza, age 15.
"Once upon a time, there were two young ladies. They were best friends, and they grew up in the same place. One of the girls has an interest to learn and study. Even when she was a child, she always asked questions. She loves asking and knowing different things. Even though the girl always wants to learn, her mother doesn't have enough money to send her to school. So, because of their economic status, she spent her time helping her mom.
"The other girl never wants to go to school. She hates to study, but her family was rich. Even though she went to school, when she visits her smart friend, she brings her homework for her to do.
"When they grew up, both didn't have happy endings. The rich girl has an unhappy ending because she didn't study, and she was not strong. What about the smart girl? She was a smart, intelligent and hard-working girl, but she had an unhappy life because she didn't have opportunities to learn. How did I know about the girl? Because she was my mother!
"She supports me, although she doesn't have much money; she makes sure to buy me school materials and other essential things. By her strong heart, I haven't any inferiority. Rather, I always worked hard to be an intelligent and smart girl, but the secret behind me is my dearest mother."
Bemnet, age 14.
"Disabled children are not being educated; they might not be in a position to fight for their right to be educated. We need to fight for their right and give them educational materials. To give disabled children an education, government and family have a main role. If we provide a free and quality education for children, they can easily get self-confidence and a good education, which enables them to be successful and responsible citizens."
To commemorate ChildFund's 75th anniversary, we invited the leaders of each of the 12 ChildFund Alliance member groups to reflect on the past and future of their own organizations and the Alliance. Today, we hear from Sweden.
Sofia, 14, has a friendly smile and an air of confidence. She is the chairperson of the student parliament in her school in central Ethiopia. When she grows up, she hopes to be a doctor. But a year ago this dream was about to disappear.
Sofia's stepfather and her mother wanted to send her to Saudi Arabia or another foreign country to work. They felt her income was needed to support the family, and this had a higher priority than her education. But Sofia managed to hold her ground. She had learned about the importance of education and the dangers connected with child migration in her youth club in school.
Sofia spoke to her siblings and her teacher, who in turn spoke to her parents — and managed to change their minds. It was a close call because her stepfather had already arranged a false identity card stating her age as 18, and an application for a passport was the next step.
The situation could have turned out differently had Sofia's school not been taking part in a three-year project working against harmful traditional practices (HTP). Barnfonden is supporting the project, working through ChildFund Ethiopia and a local partner organization.
Hundreds of village leaders, health workers, local officials, religious leaders and school headmasters are part of this project, which is aimed at changing attitudes and behaviors through information and education. The goal is to reach 20,000 children and youths, to increase their knowledge and awareness of the consequences of HTP, a broad definition that includes female circumcision, child marriage, heavy and dangerous child labor and child migration. The project is based in central Ethiopia, with many sponsored children.
Since Barnfonden was started 22 years ago by BØRNEfonden (ChildFund Denmark), we have managed to increase our support to children in need every year. We have developed from being mainly a sponsorship charity to a broader organization that has diverse fundraising sources and many activities that help children in need.
With the help of the ChildFund Alliance, we have started advocacy efforts and raised our voice in the national arena for the causes of child protection and prevention of child violence. Today, we have 25,000 sponsors supporting 27,000 children in 25 countries. With the help of our sponsors, children in need are provided with education, better health care and the means and training to make a living on their own as adults.
To our delight, we also see an increase in funding from institutions and corporate partners, making it possible for us to support projects like the work against harmful traditional practices in Ethiopia. Our ultimate goal is to help even more children and families.
In everything we do, we remind ourselves about the children and families we are working for. And we remain grateful to our faithful sponsors, other supporters and corporate partners.

Mekdes, an 18-year-old girl from Ethiopia, received a one-year scholarship in March 2012 through ChildFund and our Twitter followers to mark International Women's Day. We checked back with her in July 2013 to see how she was doing.
"I trained in hair dressing for six months and graduated in September 2012," Mekdes reports. "I started working in one hair salon in our village four months ago, earning a monthly salary of 600 birr [approximately US$32] that enabled me to fulfill our basic needs and cover the medical cost for my grandmom, who has asthma. I have also bought a cell phone for myself and also started to fulfill my needs, such as clothing and shoes."
Mekdes was chosen as a scholarship recipient for a Twitter campaign ChildFund launched in honor of International Women's Day. She had encountered many hardships, having lost her father at a young age; her mother couldn't take care of Mekdes on her own. She also had to drop out of secondary school despite having good grades after her grandmother lost her job. When we met her last year, Mekdes had to work as a hairdresser and a day laborer, but today she has the hope of one day owning her own business.
She has passionate feelings about International Women's Day because it demonstrates that all women have the potential to be productive and involved in community development. Mekdes also explained that since women are vulnerable in many ways and are sometimes affected more by poverty, the need for supporting them in their pursuits is important.
"In the future, I have a plan to get further training in a boys' beauty salon, and I have a plan to open my own beauty salon," Mekdes says. "After fulfilling the income need, which is a priority for us to survive, I will continue my education. I would like to thank ChildFund for helping me to be successful in my life."

Here in Africa, it is a crucial time for focusing on the rights of children in Africa, as we prepare for the Day of the African Child on June 16.
This annual event, supported by member countries of the African Union, commemorates the day in 1976 when hundreds of schoolchildren were killed in Soweto, South Africa, while participating in a nonviolent protest against an inferior and discriminatory educational system and for the right to be taught in their own language.
The day also draws attention to the need to improve the condition and well-being of children across the African continent. This year's theme is "Eliminating Harmful and Social Practices Against Children: Our Responsibility."
"The event should remind us all of our duty, as citizens of Africa and as friends, to promote the rights of the child on the continent," said Jumbe Sebunya, ChildFund regional director for East and Southern Africa. "In Africa today there is some progress achieved for children in the areas of education, gender equity, HIV, AIDS and others." Yet, with children making up a significant portion of the world population (in some countries more than 50 percent), Sebunya said that governments, civil society organizations and other key development partners must keep children's well-being and rights central to any and all sustainable development efforts in Africa.
ChildFund marks the Day of the African Child at all levels, using the occasion as an opportunity for children to speak out about the importance of children's rights.
ChildFund's Africa regional office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is excited to welcome children's delegations from our programs in Mozambique, Zambia, Kenya, The Gambia and Ethiopia this week. Children and youth events celebrating the Day of the African Child took place June 14 in the African Union's headquarters, the same place where national leaders make decisions for the continent.
The young delegates led the conference, engaging in intergenerational dialogue and weaving in arts, poems and music. It was their day, and they wanted to make sure that everyone heard their message.
In addition, I am working with ChildFund's national office in Mozambique on its own Day of the African Child celebration. Mozambique's government is one of many African countries that have not yet submitted a report about children's rights to the African Union.
ChildFund (in cooperation with Plan International, another child-focused organization) is sending a group of experts to Mozambique this week to make a special request of the government that the report be submitted. We are working to keep children's rights in the spotlight.
Below is a video of Seveliya, a 13-year-old girl from Zambia, speaking at the African Union as part of the Day of the African Child celebration:

Tariku, now 33, grew up in a family of nine in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. Without the support of ChildFund, he says he would not have been able to afford school materials or continue his education. Today, as a university graduate and a master's degree student, Tariku has found success. The following is his story in his own words:
Today I am going to tell you about myself, about how ChildFund changed my life, as it did for many children, by providing various kinds of support. ChildFund played a great role in my life and helped me become who I am now. I enrolled in the project when ChildFund opened its office at Semen Shoa, in the Amhara region, in 1992 during the downfall of the Derg political regime. At that time, I was a grade-six student, while my father was a soldier and my mom was a housewife. We were nine in the family.
I am the youngest in my family, except one younger sibling. However, no one in my family has gone far from home or been successful in education. Since I joined the project, ChildFund supported me with educational materials, health care and fulfilling our family's needs. Before, I had no means to buy books or other educational materials. The project provided me with everything I required for my education; that, in turn, increased my interest in learning.
After I finished my diploma in agriculture at Jimma University (a top Ethiopian teaching university) in 2000, I had the chance to join ChildFund's local partner organization staff as a community development worker. After some time there, I moved to a project in Addis Ababa.
I received my first degree in business management in 2009, and now I am a graduate student at Addis Ababa University in psychology. I am now a sponsorship relations head at work.
"Supporting one child means supporting the family."
One thing that I want to highlight is how ChildFund's work is fruitful. There are many successful alumni who are working in many areas in different organizations. Supporting one child means supporting the family. For instance, my family has benefited a lot. I have created work opportunities for my elder siblings by supporting them financially, and I was able to teach my younger sibling.
The support I received in the Semen Shoa project is the basis of all my success. I can say that ChildFund was just as important as my blood circulation.
I am sure that I will keep on improving my life even after this, but I will give credit to ChildFund often. Now I am successful in my work. I want to be a role model and pass this message on to other children who are receiving support from ChildFund to give credit for what ChildFund did for them. I hope that many children will attain similar success to what I have achieved now.

Gegsebo Redi, 24, lives in Silti Aynage, Ethiopia. He is a formerly sponsored child and an alumnus of the Silti Aynage Child and Family Development Association, an organization that partners with ChildFund.
Gegsebo completed high school in 2006. He was an outstanding student and scored straight A's. But Gegsebo's family couldn't afford the next step in his education — attending university preparatory classes away from home. They couldn't cover the cost of his transportation or his living expenses.
"I had no chance," Gegsebo recalls, "except missing the opportunity of the pre-university course and looking for other options around my village." Recognizing Gegsebo's potential, ChildFund's local partner offered financial assistance to cover housing and living expenses while he attended classes. "They encouraged me to continue my education and to join the university. I have no words to thank them for enabling me to reach my current position."
He has now completed studies at Hawasa University, earning a degree in rural development offered in cooperation with the Ethiopian government's agriculture department. Today, Gegsebo is employed at Silti Aynage's agriculture office and earns a salary that also allows him to also support his brother, who is still in school.
"I would like to thank the association for helping me to improve my life," Gegsebo says. "They were helping me by being my family in many ways. In the future, I want to support children either by my profession or financially. I would also like to continue my education since our country is expecting much from young people like me."

The first World AIDS Day was held in 1988, and a great number of medical and social advances have been made in the 24 years since then. Nevertheless, much remains to be done. Today, we turn our focus to ChildFund's work in India and Africa.
Rajashri is a supervisor for the Link Workers Scheme (LWS), a program in India that helps children orphaned by AIDS and some who are HIV-positive. She provides medication for hundreds of children infected with the disease in 19 districts of Andhra Pradesh, a central Indian province with a population of about 76 million. Started in 2008 by the national and regional governments with help from ChildFund India, LWS targets high-risk groups with prevention and risk-reduction information.
ChildFund India has identified more than 7,400 children in Andhra Pradesh who have been orphaned or left otherwise vulnerable by AIDS or HIV.
Although African nations often receive the most attention when the topic of AIDS arises, India has approximately 2.4 million people living with HIV, the third-highest population in the world, based on a 2009 estimate by UNAIDS. According to the Indian government, the state of Andhra Pradesh reported the second-highest HIV rate in the nation.
The LWS program, which ChildFund supports, began in three districts in Andhra Pradesh in 2008, reaching 19 districts in 2011. About 23,000 volunteers have been engaged in this effort, and more than 11,600 HIV-positive patients have been identified and helped by the state's health department.
ChildFund also is working in African countries to help prevent the spread of AIDS. In Ethiopia, we work with children, youth, parents and community leaders to provide HIV and AIDS prevention and testing interventions as well as make available social networks to counter stigma and discrimination.
Through our Strengthening Community Safety Nets program in the Addis Ababa and Oromia areas, 50,000 orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV and AIDS have received family-centered care and support. The program builds on existing partnerships with community groups and local volunteers to build the resilience of families and community structures to support children affected by HIV, especially those under age 11.
In Kenya, where an estimated 1.2 million people are infected with HIV (the same number as the far more populous United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), a ChildFund program has helped connect HIV-positive and other vulnerable children to organizations that offer anti-retroviral treatment and social assistance.
The number of vulnerable children attending school and receiving health care has risen since the 2005 institution of Weaving the Safety Net, part of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Today, that program has concluded, but ChildFund's work with orphans and vulnerable children impacted by HIV and AIDS continues. As of spring 2012, more than 73,000 orphans and vulnerable children were being served in Nairobi, and 3,200 HIV-positive children were enrolled in support groups.
Lucy, a 9-year-old who is HIV-positive, lives in Lamu, an island off the coast of Kenya. She, her grandmother, her aunt and four cousins share a one-room thatched home. When Lucy was a baby, her mother died from AIDS complications. Their village had few resources to deal with the disease, but now, with ChildFund's support, Lucy goes to a district hospital to receive anti-retroviral treatment. She is healthy and thriving at school.
At age 8, Lucy started attending a support group for children living with HIV. "I know my status, and that is why I take my medicine, so that I can remain strong to be able to go to school and also play like the other children," Lucy says. "My teacher and some neighbors know my status, too, and I know they love and support me."
A side benefit of ChildFund's and others' work in Kenya has been a greater acceptance of those affected by HIV, lessening the stigma of the disease.
"When I was requested to enroll her in a support group, I hesitated, but today Lucy shares information about the support group discussions with all of us here," her grandmother says. "Through her, we have learned a lot about HIV and AIDS."

In recent months, more than 62 percent of U.S. states have experienced moderate to exceptional drought, and the children and families in our Oklahoma program areas are feeling the heat.
Crops like soy beans, wheat and corn have withered or died, producing low yields and forcing farmers to sell off livestock they can no longer afford to feed; while seasonal farm hands go without work. "Families who earn income in the summer months by helping with harvesting of hay and crops did not have jobs this summer," says Linda Ehrhardt, ChildFund's southern plains area manager.
With an already limited income, families in our Oklahoma program areas are bracing for what experts are predicting to be a nationwide surge in food prices. "Many of our families live on fixed incomes and receive assistance to help them feed their families," Ehrhardt says. "The amount of that help does not increase every time the prices of groceries increase – leaving our families hungry by the end of the month."
As ChildFund works with its local partners to monitor the situation and identify ways to support hard-hit families on the home front, we are reminded of the extreme hardships that millions of children and families in our programs in Africa have been experiencing since 2011. The severe drought that began last year in the Horn of Africa is mirrored in the Sahel region and continues to claim lives and destroy crops, livestock and families' way of life.
In July 2011, food prices hit record highs in Ethiopia and Kenya and the number
of individuals experiencing food insecurity grew to more than 3.75 million. With the help of ChildFund, local NGOs and government agencies, families living in those areas received clean drinking water and food assistance to help feed their children. For many, this was the kind of hope and opportunity needed to rebuild their broken communities, but, today, dry conditions are back.
This year, with the short rains failing and the long rains coming late, once again crop yields have been low in eastern and western Africa. Food prices have spiked and families are in trouble.
This month, known as the lean season, Kenya will see food insecurity reach its peak. In Ethiopia, more than 3.76 million people will require food assistance until December. And in the Gambia, many children will be at risk for malnourishment or worse. Families who have planted crops are out of food and are depending on the small number of crops that will survive the drought. They will scramble for extra scraps and may even eat the seeds they had planned to plant next year. From now until October, food, milk and water will be hard to find.
Focusing our attention on the suffering in both eastern and western Africa, ChildFund will provide the necessary assistance to help families and children endure the drought season. It is paramount that we continue to provide access to clean water, sanitation and assistance with agricultural tools and activities but remedying food insecurity is even more pressing. ChildFund will provide food distributions, nutritional support and monitoring, as well as psychosocial support to help those experiencing the realities of drought.
For more information on how you can help children and families dealing with drought in our program areas, visit http://www.childfund.org/emergency_updates/ and help change a life.

Greats rev-up scandal-stricken Blues
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- June 15, 2010
DESPERATE NSW have been challenged to create their own history by securing the greatest win in 30 years of State of Origin tomorrow night against Queensland.
Former greats Steve Mortimer, Terry Lamb and David Gillespie yesterday egged on the current crop of Blues, saying a NSW win "would be remembered for years to come and earn a place in Origin folklore".
No Blues side has been forced to endure such a horrendous build-up.
"After everything that has happened there will be no greater motivation for the players than to create their own history," Mortimer said. "Everyone is saying NSW can't win so the players need that will to win - and they have it. After all these recent dramas, the players will be motivated and I honestly think they can win."
In a week from hell for the beleaguered NSW:
* OFFICIALS were unable to name the side on time due to pending judiciary appearances for Jarryd Hayne and Luke Lewis, instead releasing an extended 21-man squad;
* HAYNE was cleared to play, but Lewis was suspended;
* FOUR players were then cut from the squad;
* TRENT Barrett stayed behind for the birth of his fourth child before rejoining the squad on Friday night;
* TIMANA Tahu quit the Blues after racist comments made by assistant coach Andrew Johns;
* JOHNS subsequently resigned over his remark;
* TEAM management were accused of covering up the incident;
* JOHNS was told he was not welcome back in camp for the entire series; and
* DEBATE emerged over whether Kurt Gidley should return to fullback with Hayne moved to the wing, or Joel Monaghan coming on to the flank as Tahu's replacement.
"NSW will create history if they win - it would be a win remembered for years to come and earn a place in Origin folklore," Gillespie said.
"All this drama will bring NSW together. That's what Origin is all about, winning in the face of adversity.
"This is a game Queensland would win if the roles were reversed. They love it when they're down and out.
"We need every player to pull together as one. Some may think it's unwinnable but I certainly don't."
TAB Sportsbet has installed Queensland $1.47 favourites with NSW $2.65 outsiders.
"NSW has to pull together and not worry about what has happened," Lamb said. "They have to fight for each other.
"None of what has happened is the fault of the players still in camp. Winning would also give them a chance of winning the series."

©2013 Weldon Long (P)2013 Gildan Media LLC
"To succeed, thrive, and prosper, you need to be consistent, insistent, and dedicatedly persistent. You will then be able to overcome all the odds against you. My friend, Weldon Long, has done all that, motivating you to go over, under, around, or through all obstacles by listening to his brilliantly inspired audiobook. To become the person of your dreams, listen, absorb, and take ownership of Weldon's ideas and turn them into your self-initiative plan-of-action and absolute result-getting." (Mark Victor Hansen, founder and co-creator of the best-selling series Chicken Soup for the Soul)
"'Implementation' is the Key"
Yes. I would repeat this audiobook over and over like a mantra, until its ingrained in my subconscious and the 'Power of Consistency' become second nature. The information is very valuable.
'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by, Stephen Covey
Simply because I have read the book and because he admires Dr.Covey.
Dr. Covey
Implementation is Key
Great Read.
"Consistently Perfect"
I've heard this a million times and it usually gets old quick. But this author tells us a great story at the right pace. You've heard this from Robbins, Rhone and Covey, but Weldon brings these powerful principles together throughout his book by sharing an awesome story and. breaks it down so that at the end we're not asking what's next. I highly recommend this book and the audio narration that accompanies it.
The training was worth the storytelling! A very easy book to listen to, and the stories were great to smooth out the training objectives.
Definitely one of those books that should be heard repeatedly. His story and quality insights is invaluable!
"Start at chapter 4"
This is ones story about how he applied Napoleon Hills Think and Grow Rich and Coveys 7 habits. The first few chapters were a little redundant. Overall a good listen.
"Inspirational and Technically Awesome Book"
Very easy to follow and implement the techniques and being able to learn a daily quiet time and reprogramming your mind is powerful!! Implementing from today!
"love this book"
loved it read it 3 times and it never gets boring. cant wait to read again
"Redemption, in-the-trenches gold!"
Very few things in life compare or beat in-the-trenches experience and the rewards which follow. Except perhaps, the amazing story of redemption Weldon encourages us to write for our own lives. DaveKerrigan dot com
"Great book helped me to go deeper"
Inspiring book with an inspiring story helped me to go deeper into the concepts of positive thinking consistency and determination
"Great read! Shows how consistency is important"
Great read for any sales person.
Motivates you to action when you hear his story and how he struggled. Affirmations all the way!!!
"brilliant and amazing story."
Read this book it can change your life forever. compelling story and a strategy to get you adhered you want to get to.
One of the best books I have read very motivating and powerful.
This book will transform your life.

High school students in public schools across New Jersey will soon be taught how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use an automated external defibrillator.
Acting Gov. Kim Guadagno signed legislation Wednesday that requires school districts and charter schools to include such instruction in their health and physical education curriculum.
"I have a 14-year-old son who goes to high school next year," Guadagno said at a bill-signing ceremony Wednesday at Burlington Township Middle School. "I sleep better at night knowing that if the worst-case scenario occurs, he has the best chance of surviving because this legislation was signed today."

Cross Cutting Issues
Art for Conservation
In this field, GEF SGP attempts to link conservation of natural resources to cultural-based livelihoods and to provide an opportunity for cultural-based products linking the identity of local people to their natural resources.
In this area, we have cases of women participation in community based projects where women, while having their own important role in family, obtain an empowering role within their own group or in their own community, in the framework of an environment‐friendly livelihood project or a process that increases the knowledge of community on environmental issues or even contributes to conservation work.
Participatory Tools & Educational Material
As the approach of the programme is a multi-stakeholder approach and promoting participation, with the lack of this literature in the country, the literature related to the work is developed through the projects. Also, educational tools for various target groups are developed including children.
Through combination of Traditional Knowledge and/or scientific know-how technologies were developed, used or promoted in projects.

Make that 70-36-5 Grizzlies. In the 111th meeting between these two schools in "The Brawl of the Wild", No. 7 Montana rolled No. 1 Montana State 36-10 on Saturday in Bozeman. Montana's overall great play kept the Bobcats in check throughout the entire game.
With the win, Montana clinched the Big Sky Conference automatic bid into the FCS Playoffs and a share of the Conference title. Despite the loss, Montana State should still be in contention for a first round home playoff game.

The concern seems overdone. While sales fell 10.9% in the retail division and 12.6% in the Nook unit in the nine-week holiday period, Barnes & Noble (ticker: BKS) still has significant asset and strategic value. Shares fell 11% last week to $13.35, but further downside may be limited. Investors recognize that investments in the Nook division by Microsoft MSFT -0.9228626153578269% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD56.9 -0.53 -0.9228626153578269% /Date(1474923600235-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 20183667 AFTER HOURS USD56.9 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1505053 P/E Ratio 27.75609756097561 Market Cap 447524202763.829 Dividend Yield 2.741652021089631% Rev. per Employee 742939 More quote details and news » (MSFT) and Britain's Pearson (PSO) value Barnes & Noble's 78% stake at around $1.4 billion. That's well above Barnes & Noble's current market value of $800 million.
Barnes & Noble dominates the bookstore business, with 689 stores and 64% of the country's shelf space. Its stores could generate almost $300 million of pretax cash flow in the fiscal year ending in April. The bookstores could be worth at least $10 per share based on a multiple of four times cash flow. The combined value of the bookstores and Nook could top $30 a share, as Barron's noted in a bullish story ("The Underestimated Anti-Amazon," Oct. 29, 2012). The stock then traded at about $15.
Investors doubt the implied value of Nook owing to its poor holiday showing and projected negative cash flow of about $260 million in fiscal 2013. B&N has tried to get the Nook e-reader into consumers' hands and then sell them profitable digital content such as books and magazine subscriptions.

Yet the Nook division is self-financing, thanks to outside investments and control of Barnes & Noble's profitable college-bookstore business. Microsoft invested $300 million last year for a 17.6% stake, and committed an additional $305 million over five years. In late December, Pearson put in $89.5 million for a 5% stake.
The retail-bookstore business could generate $2 a share in free cash flow in the current fiscal year, perhaps allowing Barnes & Noble to resume an annual dividend of $1 a share. Barnes & Noble is expected to post a loss of about $1 a share in fiscal 2013, reflecting consolidation of Nook's losses with bookstore profits, as well as significant noncash depreciation and amortization expense.
BARNES & NOBLE HAS IMPORTANT strategic value. It has $7 billion in annual sales, a dominant bookstore business, and an e-reader alternative to Amazon. Microsoft easily could buy the entire company, giving it a big retail footprint and control of Nook.

Barnes & Noble is controlled by its 71-year-old founder and chairman, Leonard Riggio. If he put the company up for sale, it likely would fetch a nice premium to the current share price. That possibility, too, may support the stock.

'Getaway' ends season with a whimper
And thus does a summer that started with a silly car chase picture end with a sillier one.
"Getaway" has some of the elements of a good gear grinder -- a B-movie where a car takes a pivotal role in the cast.
It's got Ethan Hawke, doing enough of his own driving to pass muster with the likes of Ryan Gosling ("Drive"), Dax Shepard ("Hit and Run"), or Paul Walker ("Fast & Furious").
Then Selena Gomez shows up as the mouthy, tech-savvy sidekick dragged along for a long, Christmas season chase.
That's where the silly kicks in. Things turn pulse-pounding in the third act, but that's entirely too late to rescue this end-of-summer orphan.
The improbable set-up: Disgraced racing driver Brent Magna's Bulgarian wife (Rebecca Budig) has been kidnapped. He gets a call and is told to steal a particular armored, camera-packed Mustang that he will drive on a series of "tasks."
The villain, whose chin stubble and martini-slurping lips are all we see, is played by Jon Voight with a German accent.
"You're runnink out off time -- tic toc, tic toc," he purrs, and we're off.
A guy whose wife has been kidnapped and threatened with death should be a lot more worked up and manic than Hawke plays this fellow. And one would think that a young woman snatched for a ride-along would be freaking out.
The leads don't turn up the requisite adrenalin-jacked pitch of their voices or their acting. They're really in that car, but they're entirely too calm about all this mayhem.
Director Courtney Solomon ("An American Haunting") is plainly out of his depth.

Former Dallas Cowboys player/personnel director Gil Brandt, in an NFL Draft notes column posted on packers.com, says UT has the best nine-year draft record among NCAA schools. He writes:
The University of Tennessee has seen 60 of its players get selected over the past nine years, more than any other school. Florida State is next with 58, followed by Nebraska with 53 and Ohio State with 52. In that same span, Ohio State has had the most players picked in the top 10 overall picks with seven. Penn State has seen six of its players go in that same span, as has Florida State. Texas and Florida are next in line with five.
UT is almost as successful in a ratings system devised by John Clayton for espn.com. Under the heading ''Former SEC players fill NFL rosters,'' he noted that: ''The hotter schools for producing players that are NFL ready follow: 1. Miami, 2. Tennessee, 3. Florida, 4. Georgia, 5. Michigan.''
Of Tennessee, Clayton writes:
The SEC is the NFL's most consistent hotbed for talent, but the Vols have the conference championship in the past five years. Last year, 10 Vols were drafted. Three went in the first round -- defensive tackles Albert Haynesworth (Tennessee) and John Henderson (Jacksonville) and wide receiver Donté Stallworth (New Orleans). Stallworth is one of the most exciting young deep threats in the NFL. Haynesworth should become a dominating disruptor in the middle of the Titans defensive line. What the Volunteers do best, though, is produce running backs. They lead the NFL with seven running backs. Jamal Lewis is a Ravens power back who can help carry the team to a Super Bowl. Travis Henry came on last season to become the Bills franchise halfback and just signed a contract extension this week.

Amongst Women recapitulates and refashions characters, themes and situations from McGahern's first two novels, The Barracks and The Dark. The central figure, Michael Moran, is a domestic tyrant in the mould of Mahoney in The Dark, a father whose hold over his family, especially his three daughters, is "pure binding". As a veteran of Ireland's separatist struggle he has an obvious affinity with Reegan of The Barracks, whose bitter disenchantment with independent Ireland he savagely echoes: '"What did we get for it? A country, if you'd believe them. Some of our own johnnies in the top jobs instead of a few Englishmen. More than half my own family work in England …. The whole thing was a …

Can you define these popular missing words?
to fight with someone
Im going to throw hands with that guy.

When you knuckle-up and start swinging with the intention of beating a motherfucka down.
Keep running your mouth and I'm about to throw hands!
von K. Washington 31. August 2016
Slang for "exchanging blows or punches." though, another is receiving, or "catching", the punch to various areas of the body.
If you wanna talk smack, be prepared for me to throw hands; better be ready to catch them.

If you ever need any assistance, please email [email protected] or call
While one girl's picture appears here on the Newsletter, Scrap Girls is really a community of talented designers, techy gals, thoughtful contributors and fantastic customers. We are ALL so happy to have you as part of the Scrap Girls community and we are very grateful for your support.
Suggest a Challenge, Win a Prize! Have a great idea for a Gallery layout challenge? Submit it to [email protected]. If your challenge idea is chosen, you will win a prize! Friday will be Customer Challenge Day, so keep an eye out on the Message Board calendar. It will be fun to see what YOU come up with for us to do!
Scrap Girls sends a birthday gift to each of our Forum members!
Of course, it is a surprise what you will receive because birthday presents should alway be a surprise! Make sure your Forum email address is current and that you have the correct birthdate entered into your profile to participate.
You Have a Story to Tell...
...and we want to hear it! Scrapbookers are all about telling their stories – family stories, personal stories, children's and grandchildren's stories. Why, even the word "history" has a story in it! And my-oh-my, we love history around here.
Make some history of your own this year by putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, to be more precise, and tell us a Christmas story from your own experience.
Last year, we were blown away by the incredible stories that were submitted to our 12 Days of Christmas Story Contest. This year, we know you've got more stories just waiting to be told. We want to hear your stories of Christmas past, of Christmas memories, marvels, magic, or miracles. Was there a time when you saw something wonderful happen at Christmas or during the holiday season? Can you recall a first Christmas or holiday memory with your loved one, your child, or maybe the last Christmas with your great-grandmother? Maybe it's a story handed down through the generations in your family. We love to share good stories around here, and we don't mind having to grab a tissue, so write with all your heart to speak to our hearts.
We will select 12 stories - with one story revealed in our newsletter from December 13-24, every day, including Sundays. Just to keep things interesting, we're not going to tell anyone if they have been selected ahead of time. You'll just have to hop out of bed every morning, rush to your computer, and open up your Scrap Girls Newsletter with all the wonder of a child on Christmas morning and look to see if your story was published that day!
Here are the Submission Guidelines, so start those creative juices flowing!
The deadline for submissions is Midnight (ET), Friday, December 7. Email your story to [email protected] with a subject line of My 12 Days Story. With your email, please include the following attachments:
Your story: Story length - maximum of 700 words. Your story must be true (to the best of your knowledge), and it must tell a story/event centered around a holiday theme, not just a collection of thoughts about why you love this time of year. One entry per person. Send your story in MS Word or something similar. At the top of your story, include your name, Forum username (if you have one), your mailing address, and your email address. At the bottom of your story, write a few sentences about yourself – where you live, what you do, your family, your job, your hobbies, etc.
Scrap Girls publication release (download it here)
One image/layout (optional): You may submit one image or layout that is related to your story - but only one, so make it good! Images should be no more than 300 pixels long on either width or height. If you submit a layout, we need two sizes: a 300-pixel image (72 dpi) and a 600-pixel image (72 dpi). Please show off our beautiful Scrap Girls products in your layout and include a supply list of products used (along with links to those products in the Boutique). Even if the product is retired, please include it in the list (without a link). By the way, submitting a photo or layout will not drastically improve the likelihood of a story being published, but it's a nice accompaniment to give our readers.
A few miscellaneous details:
We reserve the right to edit the story as needed for clarity, grammar, punctuation, length, etc., though we will make every effort not to change the meaning of what you write. However, the better you write, the less we have to edit, and the happier you will make our editor.
If you submitted a story last year that was not chosen, you may resubmit it this year!
Hmmm, what have we forgotten? Ah, yes, the prizes! What is a contest without prizes?!
Everyone who submits a story will get a JIF 6 kit that coordinates with our "12 Days of Christmas Stories" this year! That's right – you get a prize just for entering! And this JIF 6 will only be given to our story tellers, not available in the Boutique. You want it? Then write a story and send it in!
The 12 winners will get what everyone needs at this time of year – a little extra cash! If your story is published in our newsletter, you'll receive a $25 Visa gift card.
We look forward to hearing your story as we launch our annual 12 Days of Christmas celebration!

Archaeology Kit
Discover the wonderful history of our country lying beneath your feet! This superb archaeology kit contains everything you need to get started on what could become a lifelong passion. In the box you'll find an archaeologist's trowel and brush for careful excavations, replica finds, and a broken pot which you can reassemble. There's also a comprehensive 24 page instruction booklet which gives you ideas and techniques.
Ravishing Ruby Tuesday Felt Bag Kit
Definitely a style statement, this felt bag will work with many outfits, and you'll be proud you made it yourself! The Ravishing Ruby Tuesday Felt Bag Kit contains the merino wool, patterns and instructions to create this gorgeous accessory, which when finished measures around 9" high by 7" wide, with a 9" felt handle. The bag is made using wet felting techniques- using soap and water to compress and interweave the wool fibres into the dense and durable felt.
Flower Pressing Craft Kit
Most craft kits are best achieved when sitting at home- perfect for a rainy day. This flower pressing kit is quite the opposite- you're encouraged to collect (common species) of flowers and plants from a garden or a walk in the park or countryside- free excersise is included with the kit!
Handmade Soap Craft Kit
This Soap making kit kit will allow you to produce a variety of soaps using translucent soap compound with natural plants encapsulated in the middle for added effect. The kit includes 3 moulds to produce a variety of shapes and the soaps are perfect for presents or for your own use!
Paper Pets- Chicken
Our farmyard rooster is like no other- just imagine the eggs! In fact, this is the perfect example of what happens when chickens go free range- the lack of boundaries allow them to discuss ideas and sometimes the results are unusual, to say the least...
Trebuchet by Timberkits
This mechanical marvel produces a working model of a medieval Trebuchet, used effectively to destroy castles across Europe and beyond!

My wife and I stayed in the Judges suite, just a simple stay to do some black Friday shopping. What a wonderful property. Lots of old character, and warmth. We really look forward to returning next year, perhaps maybe more often. Nice and quiet, and the Owner was very accommodating considering I was arriving on thanks giving. I gave onsite dining a 3/5 as I was there on thanksgiving, the owner was with her family, which was expected. I would ask nothing less.
5 on July 16, 2015
My husband and I had a lovely first stay at the Manor in July. The house is fascinating and the rooms more spacious than one expects at a B&B. Ours was practically a suite, with thick towels and terry bathrobes, and every amenity you could want. The pool and gardens are refreshing and colorful. Everything was very well taken care of, clean, and well-managed. Suzanne tailored our breakfast to our dietary needs and it was delicious! She is very personable and helpful --- the consummate B&B hostess. We highly recommend a stay at Kilburn Manor!

Old-time elegance in a quiet, wooded location. Innkeeper Suzanne Hogan is a gracious hostess who sees to guests' every comfort and convenience. She is also delightful company and provides an espsecially good breakfast.

This Holiday Season we have just had the most efficient and serene Christmas Shopping Spree ever. We opted for Malone N.Y. and booked our stay at Kilburn Manor via telephone. Shopping and excellent Dining were a mere stone's throw away. Our room was super comfy and cozy with its unique and eye pleasing décor. Suffice it to say, the entire Manor was a splendid walk through history. Our hostess Suzanne was very gracious and accommodating. Before departing, we shared a wonderful breakfast and some heartfelt chit chat about numerous commonalities. To sum up, we hope to enjoy another restful stay with Suzanne at her Kilburn Manor. We will most definitely be recommending it to all our shopping friends

My wife and I stayed a Kilburn Manor earlier this month. We enjoyed our stay very much. The breakfast was excellent along with conversation with Susanne the Innkeeper. The library which included many books owned by Congressman Kilburn was fantastic to browse through. Thank you, Steve & Jody
5 on June 11, 2013
I have now stayed at Kinburn Manor 3 times while golfing in Malone, and have enjoyed the visit each time. Suzanne is a wonderful hostess, and the manor itself is furnished in an eclectic fashion that provides a warm homey feeling. It's in a quiet location situated on a great property. Look forward to going back again soon.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you so much for your very kind review. Our favorite compliment is a returning guest. I look forward to your 4th! With warmest regards, Suzanne
4.6 on March 18, 2013
We enjoyed our visit to the Kilburn Manor immensely. Sitting by the fire with a glass of wine is the perfect place to escape and recharge. Suzanne offers the ideal mixture of welcoming warmness and respectful discretion. The breakfast was delicious and very relaxing. We would love to have stayed longer and will return sometime soon.
Innkeeper Response
I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us, and I, too, look forward to your return. Suzanne
5 on December 20, 2012
This was our first experience at a B&B. From the minute Suzanne opened the door to welcome us it was like being with an old friend. The house and its history were absolutely spectacular. The rooms were very spacious and clean. We wish we could have stayed another evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and conversation with Suzanne. We will be going back again during the summer and maybe yearly. GPS will get you right to the front door.
Innkeeper Response
Using your word....what a "spectacular" review. Thank you so very much. Hope to see you this summer. Suzanne

After a long day's drive from Northern Ontario, Kilburn Manor was a true oasis. Our room was extrememly comfortable; the innkeeper, a great conversationalist. She also recommended a good place for dinner. We ejoyed very much our chat over breakfast.
