The Week in Quotes
April 21-27
"It's pretty special. To have over 19,000 players who were in a big league uniform and to only have 26 players to do this, it's pretty special."
"He's got a lot of baseball left. I don't know if there are many players who work as hard as Albert does in the off-season to get where they need to be. I look for him, when it's all said and done, to be one of those handful of players you're in awe of."
"It's a huge milestone in the grand scheme of baseball. You don't want it to happen against you, for sure. But I admire the man. I admire his ability and I have for some time. I just wish he would do it against somebody else."
"I know I made a mistake. I feel so sad today. It was a really cold night and in the first inning I [didn't] have a really good grip on the ball."
"I could see it from the dugout. It was confirmed by a number of camera angles in the ballpark. And given the last time we faced him, I felt like it was a necessity to say something."
"We certainly are responsible. There's certainly failure on our part as an organization as a whole that he took the field in the second inning with that on his neck. He's responsible for his actions, but we failed as an organization for somehow him being in that position."
"I'm not sure that he understood the implications, and I think it was more in his mind that he needed to grip the baseball. Whatever he had to do, I'm not sure if he thought there'd be an understanding of it, but it's one of those things where I'm not sure he understood what the penalties were—even though I had told him what could happen. I think in his mind, he needed to grip the baseball."
"I spent a lot of years in Albuquerque. It's dry. It's cold and windy in the spring, and the option is this—I either get a grip on the ball or I hit someone in the neck because I don't have a grip on it. You ask the hitters, they'd say get a grip on it. You still gotta make the pitches… You got to be a little discreet. You can't just walk out with the pine-tar bottle and put it on your hands."
"I mean, it's a young kid. I don't think he's trying to do anything to cheat. I think he's trying to just go out there and compete. It's unfortunate it happened, but we'll deal with it and we'll get through this. It's a little bump in the road and we'll be all right."
"I was (ticked) at myself and frustrated. I wasn't yelling at him or anyone else. I was really angry at myself for the way I went about it. It was a frustrating game, and it ended up even worse."
"I wasn't going to have somebody yell that close to me. He has to understand if he's going to yell that close to people, you're going to get a guy every now and then that's going to ask why or take exception to it."
"I just think that pretty much was Grant being Grant—and you know that's how he is, we've known that for years—and I think that was Paulie trying to rally troops up a little bit."
"Not at all, because I know I'm a damn good player, and he is too. We're going to roll through baseball over the next 20 years hopefully and make people turn their heads. He's going to do it, and hopefully I can do it, and [Yaisel] Puig and everybody else in this game. Matt Harvey. There's a lot of great young talent, and [the attention is] just because it's me and Trout. That's the way it always has been, and that's the way it's going to be."
"I'm glad he's on my team. There's a reason why his nickname's Ace."
"I'm getting closer. You never feel 100 percent, but every day gets a little easier, every day it's a little better and just continue to work at it."
"You never want to see something like that. It breaks your heart a little bit. Obviously, it's never something done intentionally, but whenever you're involved in a situation like that it puts life in perspective... Thank God, from everything we've heard he's OK. It could have been a lot worse."
"A little bit worse than what we thought it was going to be. Strain, I guess is what we're calling it. It's kind of crazy because I don't feel terrible. I've never had anything like this before. I figured it would just be a few days and then we'd forget about it."
"It's definitely disappointing, frustrating. I do a lot to try and take care of my body and prevent injuries. You play this game long enough eventually you're going to run into something like this, but I'm going to stay positive."
"It's always been one of those hazy [rules]. They were really putting a lot of pressure on the umpires. There were a few times we had a throw across the field, the first baseman catches it, and he's four steps into the dugout before he finally goes in and grabs the ball and then the umpire raises his hand [to signal out]. They were doing their job [in waiting for the transfer to be made], but it was a tough interpretation of the rule. Now, there's probably going to be some hazy situations, but I think it's a little more like what we were accustomed to."
"We talked about putting together a pinch-hit package. Putting something down on paper, committing to something based on where we were in the game. So we gave the players a little road map. Here's what we want out of you this pinch-hit at-bat, here's what the game's asking you to do, rather than take for granted that they know or let them freestyle. We're just trying to help them shape up and focus…Most teams have a machine. We've taken this machine and kind of slapped it to make it mad and angry, tried to add more adrenaline, more confrontation to the practice session."
"We need the time as well to make sure we do this right, because we've got one shot at this," said Stephen Brooks, the Jays' senior vice-president of business operations. "As soon as you put jackhammer to concrete . . . you better know what you're doing."
"I really wanted to go and pay my respects. This country has been amazing to me. So I'm here learning about it, being right there. When I was in school, history was my favorite subject. I want to learn a little more. When I go to Washington [next month], I want to see some things."
"You score runs however you can. When you look up at the scoreboard, it doesn't say how you scored them. They don't keep track of that in the won-loss column."
"Since everything happened to me, I've always been positive. I've never had a bad thought about if this thing could happen again if I could have any trauma on my head again. They want to put (the screen) on the first time and we used it the first time just because it was the first time. I always feel that everything is going to be OK. I don't think it's possible that this could happen again. I'm just positive that mentally, I'll be OK. My mind is set up to be able to do things without thinking about it."
"He's in a slump. He's been trying to do a little too much in the games. His work has been great. He just needs to get a couple of hits and get the monkey off his back."
"In the beginning, I thought no one would see it. They say it's cute, but I think it's bad. My dancing sucks. My rhythm's not there."
"Sometimes when you have young superstars like that, you don't know what their work ethic is going to be like. When you're playing against somebody, you always want to not give them the benefit of the doubt and find that kind of an edge. But coming in here and playing with him and seeing what he went through in spring training to get back to play after (the hamstring injury) and then watching him do his work — he wants to improve as a defensive player. I see him out there all the time, before day games taking groundballs. That, to me, is more impressive than him hitting two home runs in a game. He's a stud. (He) really is striving to be a complete, frontline shortstop."
"Maybe this is one of those games that you watch on ESPN Classic three or four years down the road and you say, 'Well OK, that was nice to see.' ... I haven't seen two pitchers hook up like they did today since that (Roy) Doc Halladay-Josh Johnson, one guy went a perfect game, the other guy went I think a two-hitter (Johnson allowed just one hit), and that was one of those classic games. And this one I think ranks up there."
"When I woke this morning it didn't feel like there was a crumpled up piece of paper in my eye, like it has been. Everything feels good today. [On Monday] I couldn't see out of my left eye the whole game. I knew I could see playing defense and I think I can help defensively."
"He's a different guy than I saw in spring. I didn't know much about him. He was sinking everything. Big sinker … trying to induce ground balls, and he was a high groundball pitcher."
"We wanted to send a clear statement to the A's, the fans, (owner) Lew Wolff and Major League Baseball that we want the A's at the O.co Coliseum and want to keep baseball in Oakland."
"There's no debate whether they got it right or wrong. In the end, you have the biggest Jumbotron in the country out there in center field that would strongly suggest the runner was out on the pickoff, and then to say he's not – it seems to contradict what everyone in the ballpark thought was an out. I didn't get it, it didn't make any sense to me."
"There's just no room for racism in any of our games. That would be tough [for me to attend games]. I mean, what is a suspension going to do? He still owns the team. He's still making money. Do you fine him? He's a billionaire. What is fining him going to do? This is bigger than the game. I'm just shocked that people still feel that way toward Latins, blacks, white people. We are all the same. We all bleed the same."

HUNDREDS of bags of rubbish were dumped outside a Tube station to highlight the problem of litter in Waltham Forest.
An average of 16 tonnes of rubbish is dropped on the borough's streets every day, costing the council £3.27m a year to clear up.
An event to raise awareness of the problem saw nine tonnes of rubbish left outside Leytonstone Tube station on Wednesday (January 5) in an attempt to deter litter bugs.
Church Lane was also left unswept for 24 hours to show the extent of the problem and drive home the message that clear-up costs could be better spent on other services.
Clyde Loakes, cabinet member for environment, said: "There is absolutely no excuse to litter in Waltham Forest.
"It's lazy, unnecessary and costs us a fortune to clear up.
"We have over 1,800 bins dotted around our borough for people to use and we're urging residents to think before they drop litter and help us reduce the financial burden on this borough.
"While we want people to voluntarily clean up their act, we'll also be sending out enforcement officers who will be issuing £80 fixed penalty notices to people caught littering."

Adding new colors bothers you? The iPhone this year must have given you an aneurism.
5. alouden (unregistered)
I usually tune out the iNoise. I am not a fan of the iPhone. In fact, before knox I loved the Galaxy series. I just prefer the boring colors in general: black, white, grey, metallic and blue. I just think these days Samsung is stretching themselves thin. So many phones, so many colors. But, I am sure Samsung did their research, so I am not in a position to criticize.
6. trickster_qc (Posts: 107; Member since: 18 Jun 2013)
so many colors?
They have white, black, red and blue.
7. alouden (unregistered)
Actually there are seven colors.
9. tedkord (Posts: 14206; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
I agree with you on muted colors, but I go even further. I can't stand white or blue. Give me good old black or gray. I immediately covered up my pebble blue GS3 with a black case.

Forget the World Cup Hype. America Will Never Embrace Soccer
Sure, you bought a USA jersey and all your hipster friends are talking about tactics, ball control and midfield strikers.
ESPN's networks are enjoying stellar World Cup ratings. And the BBC says "the U.S. has emerged as the pre-eminent English-speaking football nation at this World Cup."
Not to side with Ann Coulter, but she's right about one thing: America will never, ever be a soccer-loving nation:
Coulter suggests that any growing interest in soccer is the result of the so-called "browning of America" - the influence of Latino immigration on our culture - and that this interest in futbol is also "a sign of the nation's moral decay."
(This is how the extreme right-wing dishes out its racism these days - very cleverly.)
The problem for Coulter's argument is that the opposite, in fact, is the case: When immigrants come to America, history as proven time and again that their cultures get bleached and their children adopt U.S. customs. (Gangs, for example, are an American phenomenon.)
I'm the case in point: The U.S.-born son of a soccer-loving Mexican man, I couldn't care less about the sport. Today's World Cup-obsessing immigrants are likely to get stuck with kids like me. Just as they shed their parents' Spanish, they'll come to view soccer as somewhat weird and foreign. Which it is.
Because, let's face it. The stereotypes about soccer - the yawn-inducing 0-0 games, the obscure strategies and fouls, the absence of a warrior spirit - are all true. America loves action. And it loves the taste of blood. This nation was born through violence, and it loves its guns: Give us NFL clashes, NASCAR crashes and UFC bashes and we're good.
But the biggest reason we will never be a soccer nation is more complicated than that:
America likes to be No. 1, and we'll do anything, including stacking the deck and rewriting history, to maintain the assertion that we are the best, if only in our own minds.
This land was rightfully conquered (not stolen), our wars were won or at least not lost (Vietnam, anyone?), our Major League Baseball ends with a world champion (!), our football ends in the Super Bowl, and our Olympic medal counts are manipulated to show that we, of course, are on top.
Never mind that the rest of the world doesn't see any of this our way.
Our top sports are fairly indigenous, too: Baseball and football have their Anglo influences, sure. Basketball bears resemblance to a sport played in Mexico for hundreds of years. But all are now distinctly American. (That's how we get to declare our winning team the world champion.) Even NASCAR takes the perfectly good sport of auto racing and Americanizes it by having rednecks go in circles and crash into each other.
If there were some way to get more blood out of soccer, and to up the scoring, it might have a chance.
But even then, there's a big problem: We are not the best at soccer. And since FIFA is a global organization, it would be hard for us to manipulate this game in our favor. For example, any attempt to declare a "world champion" soccer team in the United States based only on domestic play would, of course, be laughable.

But all these Latino immigrants will someday give team USA a World Cup-winning squad, right?
Here's a question: When's the last time Mexico won the cup? Yeah.
How do we become invested in a sport where we really have no chance? We don't. Other nations with cultures more resilient than ours have no problem rooting enthusiastically for teams that couldn't win a high school match. But for America, it's all or nothing.
We at least try to pick fights we can win.
And there's isn't much chance we'll grow on soccer, either.
Sure, there's talk of the millennial generation diving in, perhaps because they're the children of those soccer moms we hear so much about.
Every American kid since the 1970s played soccer when they were little. It's the easiest sport to adopt: You run, you kick, you get exercise even if you suck. But that doesn't translate into becoming an adult soccer fan. Sorry, it just doesn't - or we would have seen soccer conquer America long before the millennials came of age.
Echo Park hipsters wearing Brasil jerseys? Puleeze. It's a fad, like everything else Echo Park hipsters do. Those jerseys, along with over-sized Ray-Bans, will be gracing local landfills in no time.
And the ratings are huge, you say?
ESPN networks drew almost 11 million viewers for USA vs. Germany. Univision had more than 3 million. That's 14 million or so American soccer watchers - for one of America's best showings in modern World Cup competition.
An average NFL game, which draws its audience mainly from the two cities involved? About 20 million.
Soccer's conquest of America, just like the so-called reconquista of the Southwest by people with names like mine, is sorely overrated. Sorry to disappoint you, Ann Coulter. But at least you'll sleep well.

Ecoute for iOS review
If you are not a fan of the iPhone's music player and are looking for an inexpensive alternative that works well and has a superior layout and interface, then Ecoute may be the app for you and it is available now for just $2.99 from the App Store.
Ecoute is a stripped down and basic music player that presents all your music in a simple way that focuses on the album covers. If you are looking for a player stuffed with features then this may not be what you are after but if you just want a nice, clear way to store and play your music then this does the job perfectly.
Ecoute has taken the minimalist route, which I find much more appealing because all I want from a good music player is an app that collects everything neatly together and lets me listen to it. As soon as you open the app, you are immediately presented with a grid view of album covers representing all the music you have stored, which you can order the usual way by artist, album, song or genre.
Searching for music is a simple process and tapping on an album cover will bring up another overlaying menu that provides more information on the album, such as the track listing. The menus are not intrusive and can easily be closed with a tap so you won't get lost in a labyrinth of endless screens.
Whatever you choose to play will fill the screen and you will be able to control it either with various gestures or just by consulting the bottom bar. Swiping left or right across the screen will skip the song, up and down will alternate between the album art and now playing screen, while tapping it will even make the app find the lyrics for you. Otherwise the control bar will have all the necessary buttons required to perform these tasks.
Ecoute for iPhone is an overall user-friendly experience that presents your music clearly in front of you and lets you hear it the way you want to, with all the standard features such as shuffle and playlist. Presenting the album art makes it a lot easier to keep track of a larger collection and find what you want to hear quickly and easily. It may take some playing around to discover the features as the now playing screen is hidden and if you are unaware of it you will probably find it by accident.
The app handles your music in a superior manner to Apple's built in music player and keeps it all organised in a much more efficient way. It adapts perfectly to the iPhone's smaller screen and you should not have any problems navigating it or playing the wrong song accidentally. At just $2.99 it is great value and much more of a pleasure to use than the standard player. With a simple, effective layout and responsive, easy to use controls, I would highly recommend switching over and never looking back.

Portland, OR
Developed by Home Forward, also known as the Housing Authority of Portland, this project sets a new standard for services by combining supportive
housing with a community resource center. Located at the gateway to downtown Portland, near historic Union Station and bordering the Pearl District, an upper income mixed-use neighborhood, Bud Clark Commons achieves a perceivable balance between the rigorous programmatic requirements of a coalition lead by the City of Portland, a progressive design approach, and sustainable building practices. The building has a LEED Platinum certification by the United
States Green Building Council, with savings from the use of energy-efficient technologies estimated at $60,000 per year.
The mission of Bud Clark Commons is to provide a continuum of services to help transition homeless individuals from an unstable condition to a more permanent living arrangement. The architecture helps achieve this goal in the expression of both form and function: a walk-in day center with a public courtyard and access to services; a shelter accessed through a secure entrance with 90 transitional and temporary beds for men; and a separate and secure entrance to 130 efficient, studio apartments for single women or men seeking permanent housing. Holst approached the design of Bud Clark Commons with the attitude that addressing basic needs is not exclusive of design that dignifies the human condition.

The Carry On team is let loose on Spanish soil. Soil is right.
Set in a half-finished hotel in the Mediterranean island resort of Elsbels, a holidaying couple contend with incompetence and innuendo.
Sample "joke": Kenneth Connor (to Sid James on holiday-bound coach): "You wouldn't happen to have a spare bottle of bromide, would you? You see, the jogging of the coach excites my wife." Sid James: "Haw haw!"
Everyone, as usual, ends up in the wrong bedroom, whilst Kenneth Williams is at the centre when his hotel, the dialogue and and hint of sexual tension, comes crumbling around him. As predictable and devoid of variation as a cheap pacjage holiday.
Happy to feed from the scraps of other Carry On's, rather than manipulating the foreign context.

Egypt unrest rattles oil markets
By Kathy Chu
Oil prices soared past a key threshold of $100 a barrel Monday amid fears that violence in Egypt could disrupt the flow of oil or infect other parts of the Middle East.
Brent crude – the benchmark for oil prices in Asia and Europe – closed up 1.6%, to $101.01 a barrel Monday in London, passing the $100 mark for the first time in two years. Meanwhile, the U.S. benchmark crude, West Texas intermediate, settled at $92.19 a barrel, up 3.2%, on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
While Egypt is not a major oil producer, its proximity to other oil-producing countries is rattling the market.

THE cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting. As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors. It cast its eyes upon the roads, which were growing from long troughs of liquid mud to proper thoroughfares. A river, amber- tinted in the shadow of its banks, purled at the army's feet; and at night, when the stream had become of a sorrowful blackness, one could see across it the red, eyelike gleam of hostile camp-fires set in the low brows of distant hills. Once a certain tall soldier developed virtues and went resolutely to wash a shirt. He came flying back from a brook waving his garment bannerlike. He was swelled with a tale he had heard from a reliable friend, who had heard it from a truthful cavalryman, who had heard it from his trustworthy brother, one of the orderlies at division headquarters. He adopted the important air of a herald in red and gold. "We're goin' t' move t' morrah- sure," he said pompously to a group in the company street. "We're goin' 'way up the river, cut across, an' come around in behint 'em."

The Lindsay Lohan-Barbara Walters interview is scheduled to air November 16 on ABC's newsmagazine 20/20, just ahead of the premiere of Lifetime's Liz & Dick, which stars Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor. Walters confirmed the booking this morning on The View. Lohan is trying to revive her acting career after being derailed by personal issues and the law the past few years and is doing her part promoting the Lifetime telepic, which co-stars Grant Bowler as Richard Burton and centers on the couple's longtime passionate and stormy love affair. (FYI, even Lifetime parent company boss Nancy Dubuc said she warned Liz & Dick with Lohan would be a risk.) Lohan also is starring in the indie pic The Canyons and scored points with her hosting job on Saturday Night Live in March, steering the show's highest-rated episode of the season.
Lindsay Lohan To Sit With Barbara Walters On '20/20′
13 Comments
Is this part of Barbara's "Least interesting people " special?
I wonder if Walters will play some clips of Lohan's interview with Matt Lauer, when she declared her partying days are over and she doesn't go out to clubs anymore. Then ask what bullshit she has to spread today.
She's done. Her career can never be "revived" and people are only gonna watch this movie for a laugh & it's on tv for free.
Liz & Dick will become Lifetimes highest rated original movie on the network. Say what you want about Lohan but the girl can sure bring the ratings.
She just can't Act . The trailer looks awful
Walters is really slumming it these days.
If I wanted to hear what Lindsay had to say I'd just hit the clubs…
Take her apart Babs – I want to see tears!!!
Please?! Like that's going to happen. Walters is as desperate for attention and ratings as Lindsay is, this will be a love fest puff piece.
Regardless of the ratings it's all based on the fact that people will tune in to see a Train Wreck. If Liz & Dick weren't released in theaters and people had to pay to see her it would bomb. Put Lindsay in a weekly drama and it will fail. One time train wreck though, yes, that will get ratings.
To clarify though, she did NOT receive high marks for her SNL gig. It was the exact opposite. People wrote that she was lackluster and that it was not a "comeback" as was hoped.
The girls is entrenched in entitlement and drowning in denial. She's unlikable and at this point you can't even empathize with her. She's not a popular actress, a style icon, etc.
Compare her to Nicole Richie who had a heroin habit, a DUI and the tabloids had a field day with her. Now, she's a mother of two with successful businesses and is frequently in the tabloids appearing at events and charities receiving high marks for her style. She's even gotten into acting with roles on 'Chuck'. Yes 'Fashion Star' isn't a ratings blockbuster but she's a successful functioning adult.
Go away Lindsay, you and your fake lips. You're too old for this and Amanda Bynes has stolen your thunder.
The girl is ratings gold. I have no idea why networks do not fight over her. She should get her own TV show. People would tune in just to see if it's trainwreck or not. I'm sure "Liz & Dick" is gonna break all the records for Lifetime. Just find someone to insure her and cast her on the show. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, this girl is gonna make money for you.
Maybe the headaches she causes isn't worth the risk of higher ratings. If someone isn't reliable the product cannot be produced. If the train doesn't start there can be no train wreck. Get my drift?
If Walters can reveal what it's like to be stuck between two deeply troubled parents…while at the same time playing them off of each other…while the whole family makes money (or is consistently trying to) through the "reality programming" culture we now live in…contributing to the addiction problems (lying and otherwise) that ruined her career in the first place…
…could be really good…
…could be "same day/just another variation of the same artificial performance." (Lohan acting therefore acting out IN the interview is what I mean through acting out responses…per prearranged publicist guidelines.)
I do have some sympathy for her. So many different factors surrounding her (not the least of which is probably hereditary) perhaps permanently derailed/destroyed genuine natural talents and gifts. When she a was child she probably had to be the adult in the family. Seriously – why is anybody even talking about Dina and Michael Lohan? Can't they help their daughter without getting press? Why are they ongoing public figures? That's what they should be working on. Hiding themselves and helping themselves and their daughter get back on track as recognizable human beings.

The Franchise Affair
by Josephine Tey
Publisher: eBooks@Adelaide 2011
Number of pages: 292
Marion Sharpe and her mother seem an unlikely duo to be found on the wrong side of the law. Quiet and ordinary, they have led a peaceful and unremarkable life at their country home, The Franchise. Unremarkable that is, until the police turn up with a demure young woman on their doorstep. Not only does Betty Kane accuse them of kidnap and abuse, she can back up her claim with a detailed description of the attic room in which she was kept, right down to the crack in its round window.

Kroger Sees Market Share Grow for Third Year in a Row
Service, value, product quality, selection drive's strong Q4 sales, Kroger says
A sharp focus on serving customer needs drove a strong fiscal fourth quarter performance for The Kroger Co., even in the face of "product cost inflation across many core grocery and perishable categories at levels not seen in several years," the company said during an earnings conference call yesterday.
The Cincinnati-based chain's sales increased 2.2 percent to $17.2 billion for the quarter ended February 2, 2008. Adjusting for the extra week in the fourth quarter of the previous year, total sales increased 10.2 percent, the chain said. Meanwhile, product cost inflation during the fourth quarter versus last year was 3.8 percent excluding fuel, according to Kroger's estimates.
Identical supermarket sales increased 8.2 percent with fuel and 5.3 percent without fuel, based on the same 12-week period in both years, the company said.
"As Kroger's strong fourth quarter results show, we continue to drive solid identical sales growth by improving service, value, product quality, and selection for our customers," said David B. Dillon, Kroger chairman and c.e.o. "During the quarter, we continued to invest in lower prices for our customers, providing meaningful savings for them in this uncertain economic environment."
Indeed, it was the economic environment that resulted in a drop in fourth quarter profits, which totaled $322.9 million, or 48 cents per share, compared to last year's $384.8 million, or 54 cents per share. According to Kroger, the LIFO charge in the fourth quarter was 5 cents per share, resulting from higher than expected inflation - 2 cents per share more than it anticipated at the end of the third quarter.
Results from the fourth quarter 2006 also included a three cents-per-share benefit from adjustments to certain deferred tax balances and an estimated seven cents-per-share from an extra week.
For the full 2007 fiscal year, sales increased 6.2 percent to $70.2 billion. Adjusting for the extra week in 2006, sales increased 8.2 percent. Identical store sales increased 6.9 percent with fuel and 5.3 percent without fuel, based on the same 52-week period in both years.
Net earnings for fiscal 2007 were $1.18 billion, or $1.69 per share, which equates to 15 percent growth after adjusting for the extra week in 2006.
Along with this growth Kroger also saw gains in market share in 37 of its 44 major markets, based on the company's calculations. These increases are on top of strong market share gains in 2005 and 2006.
"Our performance last year and our three consecutive years of increases in market share show that Kroger's strategy is working as we continue to deliver value to both our customers and our shareholders," said Dillon.
Even with these strong numbers, Dillon admitted there is still room for growth. "While these latest market share numbers are impressive, we know there is more opportunity out there for our company," he said. "Even with Kroger's strong share in our 44 major markets, approximately 46 percent of the share in those markets continues to be held by competitors without our economies of scale. We estimate that their share as declined nearly 4 percent over the last four years."
For fiscal 2008, Kroger anticipates earnings of $1.83 - $1.90 per share, growth that will be driven by strong identical store sales - which it expects to be in the 3 to 5 percent range -- an improvement in non-fuel operating margins, and fewer shares outstanding.
"Kroger's fourth quarter and fiscal year results can be tied directly to the efforts of our associates in every aspect of our business," said Dillon. "The contribution of all of our associates is fundamental to our success in 2008 as we continue to execute our Customer 1st strategy. Kroger's business model and the diversity of our product offerings are well-suited for what continues to be a challenging economic and competitive environment."
Kroger operates 2,486 supermarkets and multi-department stores in 31 states under two dozen local banners including Kroger, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Food 4 Less, Fry's, King Soopers, Smith's, Dillons, QFC, and City Market. It also operates 782 convenience stores, 394 fine jewelry stores, and 696 supermarket fuel centers.

Hugh Grant drunkenly strikes out with model
A shitfaced Hugh Grant reportedly struck out with Project Runway contestant Matar Cohen Saturday night, and despite his well-documented hatred for cameras, he allowed himself to be photographed the entire time presumably in an attempt to land some model-ly poon. Celebslam reports:
"Here's some pics I took of Hugh Grant and Matar Cohen (Israeli model from Project Runway) from Halloween at the Standard Hotel in New York. He was drunk as hell and hitting on her like crazy. He kept taking pictures of her and said he liked the way she looked, but Matar didn't go home with him because he was 'too old' (she's 23)."
How depressed must Hugh Grant be? Back in the day, this was the kind of scenario he probably had nightmares about. "NOOOO! Oh God, Elizabeth, dahling, hold me. I dreamt an entire generation of models had no clue about my bloody star power and wouldn't accept my advances. Could you imagine such a thing? Positively dreadful. Now shall we shag or should I solicit the streetwalker again? Too late, I'm already in the taxi. Hugh Grant waits for no vagina!"

Bell 407, Huntsville, Texas, June 8, 2008–The Board determined the probable cause of the EMS 407 accident was the pilot's failure to identify and arrest the helicopter's descent. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's inadvertent flight into IMC and the limited outside visual reference due to the dark night conditions, low clouds and fog. The helicopter, operated by PHI, had been called in after another EMS operator had "aborted" the same patient-transfer mission an hour-and-a-half earlier because of low clouds and visibility near the spot where the PHI helicopter eventually went down. The PHI pilot was not using night vision goggles, but the helicopter was equipped with the Aviation Night Vision Imaging System (cockpit lighting system that is compatible with night vision goggles).
The pilot, flight nurse, flight paramedic and passenger were killed.

A Must-Read: Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Ex
Think you know everything there is to know about that ex you've obsessed over? Well, authors Heather Belle and Michelle Fiordaliso want you to know that there is so, so much more. (Curses!) The two psychotherapists have both "professional and personal experience with exes." Some of us could use some pro insight on factors like how to be friends with an ex, whether you should get back together, why you really shouldn't and, say, moving on. Their new book Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Ex tackles all of this. Anything that helps us step away from the dramz is probably a good thing, right? Read it when you're contemplating a drunk dial. [Amazon]

BWW Interviews: Sean Pomposello Talks About Eye Catching Posters and Programs
Most people toss out programs without thinking about what went on during the creative process. Sean Pomposello is both a writer and graphic designer with a passion for theatre. After graduating SUNY Oneonta with a degree in English, he developed Pizza Hut Kid's Marketing initiatives, created and executed Timberland's first national promotion, the "Spirit of Adventure" sweepstakes, designed and packaged material for advertising campaigns for HBO TV and the Broadway shows, Wicked, Mamma Mia!, God of Carnage and Next to Normal. He has designed postcards and programs for productions at the Westport Country Playhouse, including the recent premiere of Chad Beguelin's play, Harbor. The cover for the program of Harbor captured both the rootlessness and stability of the play's characters and the paths of their journeys. David B. Byrd, Director of Marketing at the Westport Country Playhouse, raves that "Sean totally gets it" from the get-go. Here's how he does it.
Do you design covers for other theatre organizations besides the Westport Country Playhouse?
I create key art design solutions and print, radio and broadcast advertising for producers, live entertainment ad agencies and regional and institutional theatre.
How did you get started?
I actually began in traditional advertising. Worked, for the most part, on packaged goods. I had the good fortune to land a position at HBO and worked in many divisions there over the course of six years. I helped launch all the signature series we've all come to know and love, ranging from The Sopranos and Sex and The City to Six Feet Under and The Wire. I was lucky to be employed there during a very important and successful growth period for the service. Right place and the right time, I suppose. It most definitely helped form my creative sensibilities and connected me with a lot of other like-minded professionals.
What happens first? Who contacts you? Do you meet with the staff?
Well, Broadway operates a bit differently than television, as you might imagine. Broadway has a surprisingly long creative gestation period. Often times there's not even a script and we begin trying to attempt to arrive at the identity for a show, which is sort of ludicrous given the fact that the art for a show should reflect what the show is about, right? But, at the end of the day, artwork rarely reflects what the show is about—more often a poster is what the consumer—in this case theatergoer—wants the show to be about. What each of us hopes the show delivers. But, this is how process normally happens. Producers will often make the rounds and visit with advertising agencies and brief them on the show they are planning to stage—usually a season or so before their production actually premieres. The agencies then walk away, come up with approaches and then are invited back to pitch the producers. The agency with the best ideas and creative wins. Or, sadly, sometimes the agency with the best relationship with the producers wins the assignment.
How do you come up with the idea for the cover?
It's really a matter of creative immersion. I try to steep myself in everything that is tonally similar to our show. I share my findings and sometimes organize them into tidy avenues that we can explore creatively. For instance, maybe it's a title treatment focused piece of key art, or a high concept conceit. Sometimes this process also helps us source typographers, photographers or other designers who can help us achieve our vision. Sometimes we use this stimulus material to initiate an ideation session with the team or with producers, so they can feel like they've contributed to the effort.
What is involved in the approval process? Who makes the decision? Is it done by committee?
It depends on the number of producers. But, for the most part, the approval process is done by committee. In some instances, when there the piece is written by a well-known playwright or directed by someone of note, the producers will let them weigh in — and in some rare instances, make the final decision.
Does the program cover ever differ from the postcard?
In the old days we'd pitch a poster or window card. These days we understand that there might not even be a poster, so we design in a very holistic manner. Our artwork, while possibly presented in the form of a window card, will need to be flexible, given all the many applications. That window card will be spun out into taxi tops, bus sides, postcards, bill stuffers, internet sites and radio and broadcast. This is reason why, I believe, there are so many Creative Directors with copywriting competency. More of my pieces can be remembered for the tagline than the iconic image because that piece of copy might be the only through line on the radio, broadcast and broadband.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Honestly, more from the work itself. I pore over the script and when they are available to me, pick the brain of the playwright. I, myself, am a playwright by night and only put pen to paper when I have a title to my story and have an idea for how it will be packaged to a theatergoer. You'd be surprised how many playwrights have very concrete thoughts for how their play should be represented.
What are the most challenging ones you've designed?
I recently was tasked with not only solving the creative for a show, but the title. The title was a rather lewd word that would never make it into The New York Times ABCs, so they asked me to come up with a creative solution. I'll probably get in trouble for sharing this, but the title was "Cock." My idea was to skirt the title altogether and create an alternate one. The artwork would simply be a large title treatment that read: See Ohh See Kay. The URL for the show would be www.seeohhseekay. Etc, and so and so. It was maybe my proudest moment in this business—and I didn't win the pitch. Sigh. Sometimes your best ideas don't even make it past your own margin.
What don't you personally like in covers, posters and postcards?
I mentioned it earlier—a singular, iconic image and a clever, memorable tagline. If you have both of those you have a good fighting chance. Now all you need is a good review from Ben Brantley.
Tell me about your real job as a playwright.
Thanks for referring to it as my real job, because that's how I view it. Sadly, my day job pays my mortgage and writing plays satisfies me creatively. I actually began writing feature films but grew tired of options that never made it into production. So, I made the switch to theatre where I can at least see my work staged. I write what the world thinks are dark, urban stories. I think they're comedies. So much for knowing what you're trying to package.

All art is subjective. One man's lobster telephone is another man's load of old bobbins.
However, there are some moments in time where an album comes along and unifies everybody. Surely, it can't be hard for professional critics to spot a classic?
The archives of a classic publication like Rolling Stone must be full of glowing reviews for classic records. Right?
Or not, as our gallery shows. Especially if you were writing for Rolling Stone.

This post is the ninth in a series of 10 about the future of collegiate journalism, focusing on specific projects undertaken by members of college journalists around the country. This post goes over how to retain a collegiate audience and how to keep their respect.
There's a of trust between media outlets and their audiences. Polling data clearly shows that since the 1970's, the public has continued in greater numbers to believe that most stories are inaccurate, favorable to one political side and are highly influenced by other organizations and people. Questions over why the decline happened and potential solutions to this quandary have been discussed in great detail by media critics such like Jay Rosen and Poynter's Craig Silverman (They also engaged in a live chat about the topic). While Rosen comes up with a list of possible reasons for the lack of trust, Silverman focuses on one issue: the lack of a connection between journalistic entities and regular readers; it's no longer 'our newspaper,' but 'the newspaper.'
Though there isn't any polling data regarding the trust between college newspapers and their readers, it's apparent that there should be a stronger connection between college newspapers and their readers. For one, the writers and editors of a college papers are on average more similar demographically (18-24-year-old college students) to their readers than regular professional newspapers, which grab a wide variety of people from different ages and places to cover a single area. Additionally, the ratio of writer-to-audience number is usually much better for college newspapers, even those with a smaller staff, so ideally one should be able to relate to and connect with a wider percentage of the audience. Because college papers are so much closer to students, shouldn't they enjoy a great amount of respect and trust from their audience?
It lack's not often the case. While it'd be easy to bring up the numerous complaints people have brought against the Nevada Sagebrush this past semester, it's an issue that spreads far beyond the University of Nevada campus. One recent example came when The Appalachian Online (the student newspaper of Appalachian State University) incorrectly tweeted that a popular Mexican restaurant was closing, and corrected itself after outcry from students. The resulting editorial made the mistake of essentially telling readers that readers should care more about other issues, leading to angry commenters railing against what they perceived to be the paper's faulty values and apparent lack of respect for their readers.
The story (which was picked up by Jim Romenesko and PR Daily) is a classic example of the divide that can easily exist and be perpetuated by college newspapers and their respective audiences. Although it's important for college papers to remain completely separate and independent of non-journalistic influences, papers cannot survive if they promote hostility with their readers. So what's the solution? Here's a list of four things college papers can do to improve relations with their readers:
- Creating a social media community: The comments section on any news website, especially local news affiliates, are usually filled with either attacks on journalists or straight political propaganda; the antithesis of a community. Social media is different, especially on Facebook, as more people are comfortable with commenting and writing through the familiar Facebook system than through a cumbersome commenting program. Thus, it's incredibly important for journalists to be on top of their social media, and to put time aside to address concerns and speak to audience members. Even if it's just joking around, like David Weigel does often on his twitter feed, it's a way to form an instant connection to readers and to let them know that you are human too.
- Connections around campus: This is an extremely fine line to tread, but it's important to have a wide variety of different groups represented on a college newspaper staff. It's extremely easy to form an 'us v. them' mentality when one spends all of their time in the company of fellow staff members. Branch out, join other clubs and organizations (and Greek life!) to avoid the echo chamber of a college newsroom.
- Be active in the community: The best way to advertise a college paper is to be an active member of the college community. It's one thing to publish a story about a campus event- it's another thing entirely to go out and actually participate. Putting faces to a masthead is important if a college paper needs to combat negative stereotypes and false beliefs.
- Own up to mistakes, and move on: If you make a mistake, address it, apologize and move on. Dwelling on something that went wrong will automatically make you appear less professional, and distracts from more important work and stories that need to be dealt with. As Nicole Dion writes in a blog post about dealing with social media crisises, "Don't justify your actions, just apologize. Explain the situation, if necessary, and nip the talk in the bud. If you don't say anything, people will assume the worst and it will become even bigger than it already is."

Speaking on Thursday to a Federalist Society audience, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai noted how dramatically the video marketplace has changed since the Cable Act of 1992. "It's no surprise," Pai said, "when you look at some of the legislative history of the Cable Act, you see statements that ring hollow to the modern ear."
Pai's statement underscores just how radically the video entertainment marketplace has changed over the past two decades. In 1992, traditional cable operators represented 98% of the pay-TV universe. But today, 4 of the top 8 pay TV providers are satellite and telco companies. And this isn't counting new players like Netflix, which claims to have amassed over 30 million US subscribers. The explosion of programming choices reflects a more dynamic video ecosystem with many more choices. Pai's remarks affirmed this reality, noting that most Americans have at least three multi-channel video providers to choose from and further noting that consumers today, especially from younger generations, no longer distinguish the content from the medium. They are, as he stated, "completely indifferent as to the distribution platform, and even to the device that's being used."
It's no surprise that this new marketplace is calling into question some of the original motivations that led to government intervention. Pai suggests it's time for the FCC to "exercise regulatory humility," understanding that yesterday's rules are not keeping up today's realities. We say, "Well said!"
To better understand just how far the video marketplace has come since The Cable Act of 1992, see the chart below.

I suspect the latter, and I find that an interesting part of the book: Reading something that was written in such a different way than what we westerners find "normal".
I read the book in John Bester's translation, and I do not know how the two compares, but what I thought Ibuse was doing is render the style of a non literary person writing his own personal diary, and I think he managed pretty well in this respect, as at various times I had to remind myself that this was a novel, not a real diary. I read elsewhere that Shigematsu's diary really existed, and would love to read it to compare it with the novel.
Shigematsu himself was an interesting character to me: very analytic, yet very natural, so that some description really sound as coming from the journal writer. I also did find some repetitiveness at points, but to me this strenghten the claustrophobia of the living nightmare - even in relatively "quiet" scenes. For instance, when Shigematsu first looks at himself in the mirror:
I peeled off the sticking plaster holding the bandage in place, and cautiously removed the cloth. The scorched eyelashes had gone into small black lumps, like the blobs left after a piece of wool has been burned. The whole left cheek was a blackish-purple color, and the burned skin had shriveled up on the flesh, without parting company with it, to form ridges across the cheek. The side of the left nostril was infected, and fresh pus seemed to be coming from under the dried-up crust on top. I turned the left side of my face to the mirror. Could this be my own face, I wondered. My heart pounded at the idea, and the face in the mirror grew more and more unfamiliar.
Taking one end of a curled-up piece of skin between my nails, I gave it a gentle tug. It hurt a little, which at least assured me that this was my own face. I pondered this fact, peeling off skin a little at a time as I did so. The action gave me a strange kind of pleasure, like the way one joggles a loose tooth that wants to come out, both hating and enjoying the pain at the same time. I stripped off all the curled-up skin. Finally, I took hold of the lump of hardened pus on the side of my nostril with my nails, and pulled. It came away from the top first, then suddenly came clean off, and the liquid yellow pus dropped onto my wrist.
I could not tell whether the infection was getting worse or better. The only thing I could do was to cleanse the affected spot and apply powdered medicine to the infected place, then cover the whole left cheek with cloth and fasten it with sticking plaster. I had prepared the medicine myself from a formula, consisting mostly of leek leaves, given me by a carpenter back home in the country, who said it was especially effective for cuts and infections.
The whole description is really gut-wrenching, then you get to the last paragraph, where the cure is.. leek leaves! and it is not all, as further on:
In fact, I found, I had woken because my feet were cold. It worried me that I should get cold feet in August, at the height of summer, while the sun was still up. Feeling my toes, I found that the big toe on each foot was rather painful. Somewhat dismayed, I got up, lifted up the mosquito net, and went out onto the veranda. As I did so, something struck cold at my left cheek. I felt at it, and found that the bandage had gone. It was caught on the bottom edge of the mosquito net.
The mirror showed me that the infected place on the side of my nose was gaping open and had dried up crisp and hard.
Life was one depressing thing after another.
I went and soaked a small towel in water and gently wiped the affected area, replacing the bandage with a new piece which I fastened in place with sticking plaster.
It is a nightmare that just won't go away - and the closing lines of the book to me capture this sense of utter desperation quite powerfully.

Man pleads guilty in SFO drug case
Published 4:47 pm, Tuesday, January 22, 2013
A man who was arrested at San Francisco International Airport in October while trying to carry a concealed stash of cocaine on a flight to Japan has pleaded guilty to drug charges.
Emmanuel Amankwa admitted possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute the drug and agreed to a sentence of at least five years in federal prison, U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag's office said Tuesday. Amankwa entered his guilty plea on Thursday and is scheduled to be sentenced in April.
Airport security agents found that Amankwa had hidden 100 latex-wrapped pellets in his body, carrying a total of 995 grams of cocaine, prosecutors said.
Latest news videos
In a letter to the judge in December, posted on the court's docket, Amankwa said he had been admitted to a mental hospital after hearing voices in his head telling him to "save and help the children." He said he had turned to selling and using drugs while trying to get help for his mental problems.
