Interim suspension is the temporary suspension by the DEC of a CFP® professional's right to use the marks for a definite or indefinite period of time, while proceedings conducted pursuant to these Disciplinary Rules are pending against the CFP® professional. Imposition of an interim suspension shall not preclude the imposition of any other form of discipline entered by the DEC in final resolution of the disciplinary proceeding.
5.1 Issuance of a Show Cause Order
Although a CFP® professional's right to use the marks shall not ordinarily be suspended during the pendency of such proceedings, when CFP Board receives evidence that a CFP® professional has engaged in conduct: 1) that poses an immediate threat to the public; and 2) the gravity of the conduct significantly impinges upon the stature and reputation of the marks, CFP Board Counsel may issue an Order to Show Cause why the CFP® professional's right to use the marks should not be suspended during the pendency of the proceedings.
5.2 Service
CFP Board shall serve the Order to Show Cause upon the CFP® professional as provided in Article 18.2.
5.3 Response
All responses to Orders to Show Cause shall be in writing and shall be submitted within 20 calendar days from the date of service of the Order to Show Cause upon the CFP® professional. Extensions and/or continuances are generally disfavored by CFP Board. CFP Board Counsel may, however, grant reasonable requests for extensions and continuances, as deemed appropriate. The CFP® professional shall, in the response, either request or waive the right to participate in the Show Cause Hearing.
5.4 Failure to Respond to the Order to Show Cause
If the CFP® professional fails to file a Response within the period provided in Article 5.3, the CFP® professional shall be deemed to have waived the right to respond, the allegations set forth in the Order to Show Cause shall be deemed admitted and an interim suspension will automatically be issued.
5.5 Show Cause Hearing
Upon receiving the CFP® professional's response as provided in Article 5.3, a hearing shall be scheduled as soon as practicable before a Hearing Panel consisting of three members of the DEC, generally no more than 40 days from the date of service of the Order to Show Cause. The CFP® professional shall have the opportunity to participate at such hearing presenting arguments and evidence on his/her behalf. All evidence presented must be submitted to CFP Board Counsel with the CFP® professional's Response to the Order to Show Cause in accordance with Article 5.3. Either party may make a motion at the hearing to admit evidence discovered by either party after the CFP® professional files a Response to the Order to Show Cause. The Chair of the Hearing Panel shall have the discretion to grant or deny the motion. CFP Board Counsel will provide the CFP® professional with the evidence submitted to the Hearing Panel prior to the Show Cause Hearing. In making its determination whether to issue an interim suspension, the Hearing Panel shall consider all of the evidence presented.
5.6 Interim Suspension
Upon a showing of any of the factors listed in Article 5.1, an interim suspension shall be issued, subject to review by the DEC under the provisions of Article 11.2, unless the Hearing Panel determines that the CFP® professional has provided evidence that establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that the CFP® professional does not pose an immediate threat to the public and that the gravity of the CFP® professional's conduct does not significantly impinge upon the stature and reputation of the marks. The fact that a CFP® professional is seeking appellate review of a conviction or professional discipline shall not limit the power of the Hearing Panel to impose an interim suspension.
5.7 Automatic Interim Suspension
An interim suspension shall immediately be issued without a hearing when CFP Board Counsel receives evidence of a conviction or a professional discipline in accordance with Article 13.1 for any of the following conduct:
(a) Felony conviction for any crime;
(b) Misdemeanor conviction for fraud, misrepresentation or crimes of moral turpitude; or
(c) Revocation of a financial professional license (securities, insurance, accounting or bank-related license) unless the revocation is administrative
in nature, i.e. the result of the individual determining to not renew the license by not paying the required fee and/or not completing the required continuing education.
CFP Board Counsel will notify any CFP® professional subject to interim suspension under this Article as provided in Article 18.2.
5.8 Proceedings Subsequent to Interim Suspensions
After the issuance of an interim suspension or an automatic interim suspension, CFP Board Counsel shall continue to investigate as outlined in Article 6. After CFP Board Counsel issues a Complaint, as outlined in Article 7, a CFP® professional will have the opportunity to be heard in accordance with the Disciplinary Rules. An Interim Suspension issued under this Article, however, is not subject to the CFP® professional's right of appeal as outlined in Article 12.
5.9 Automatic Reinstatement Upon Reversal of Conviction or Professional Discipline
A CFP® professional subject to a suspension under this Article shall have the suspension vacated immediately upon filing with the DEC a certificate demonstrating that the underlying criminal conviction or professional discipline has been reversed; provided, however, the reinstatement upon such reversal shall have no effect on any proceeding conducted pursuant to these Disciplinary Rules then pending against a CFP® professional.

text: BRASILIA, June 23 (Reuters) - Economists cut their forecasts for Brazil's 2014 economic growth for a fourth straight week as industrial output is now expected to decline, a weekly central bank poll showed on Monday. Latin America's largest economy is expected to grow just 1.16 percent this year, down from a forecast of 1.24 percent a week before, the poll showed. Industrial output is expected to decline 0.14 percent in 2014, down from a forecast of 0.51-percent growth in the prior week's survey, according to the median estimate of about 100 financial institutions participating in the survey. At the beginning of the year, economists expected industrial output to grow by more than 2 percent in 2014. Forecasts for interest rates and inflation were largely unchanged in the survey.

Find out how the weight of myomas can trump the number of them.
Deciding which myomectomy code you'll report depends on three factors: the approach the ob-gyn uses, the number of the myomas, and their weight. Here's how to translate this information into the correct CPT® code every time.
Watch out: If your ob-gyn performs a hysterectomy, you won't report the myomectomy separately.
Step 1: Investigate Myomas and Their Types
When your ob-gyn performs a myomectomy, he is removing myomas or uterine fibroid tumors. Knowing what type they are will help you to determine your myomectomy code.
What they are:Myomas (also known as uterine fibromas) are the most common growth of the female genital tract. They are round, firm, benign masses of the muscular wall of the uterus and are composed of smooth muscle and connective tissue.
You'll see different types of uterine fibroids based on their location:

CAPE CANAVERAL -- Four rocket bombs from World War II training exercises have been found in Florida since Hurricane Jeanne blew through last month and uncovered them.
The latest find was Monday. Army explosives experts from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station removed a 101/2-foot-long, rocket-powered explosive nicknamed "Tiny Tim" from the sands of Vero Beach.
"It's a 500 pound, semi-armor piercing bomb fitted with a rocket motor," said Sgt. 1st Class Jake Holland of the Army's 766th Ordnance Company. "The rocket had been fired, but the warhead was live."
Two other rocket-bombs have recently been found along the Atlantic coast, one in Ormond Beach and another in Vero Beach. The fourth was found inland at Fruitland Park. All were Tiny Tims.
Parts of inland central Florida was used in World War II as bombing ranges, and the then mostly empty coast stretching along Volusia, Brevard and Indian River counties was used for amphibious landing and other military training. Tank obstacles and other military gear have been found as well.
The disposal squad dug up the beach rocket bombs by hand, trucked them out of harms way and detonated them in a holes covered with sand.

VERNON - Flames quickly engulfed a car this morning, as can be seen in this video shot by a local photographer.
Eric Draht usually photographs weddings, but found his camera pointed at a vigorous fire in the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 8. He says he heard a boom around 4 a.m. and looked out to see a car on fire in the 3800-block of 40 Avenue.
In the video, you can hear Draht make the 911 call, in which he tells the dispatcher the blaze is 'spreading pretty quick.'
The fire continues to grow, and within about five minutes the Vernon Fire Department arrives and douses the flames.
Deputy Fire Chief Jack Blair says it was too dark at the time to complete a full examination of the car, but investigators will be taking a closer look today.
He says police attended, but notes it's too early to say if the fire is suspicious.
"We're not sure what it is at this point," he says.
No one was in the vehicle at the time, and no bystanders were hurt, Blair says.

Although ticket was given to 16 Muslim candidates by TRS for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections but many senior leaders were disappointed. TRS has announced 80 candidates so far of which 16 candidates are Muslims. Interestingly out of 38 old city wards only 12 Muslim candidates have been fielded.
Senior leaders of the party felt that injustice was done to minority leaders due to alliance with MIM. All the minority leaders that were associated with the party since its inception have been ignored in the process of ticket allotment. No consultation was made with senior minority leaders regarding ticket allotment and most of the candidates fielded are new comers in the party. It is said that a large umber of minority leaders had applied for tickets but due to alliance with MIM, strong contenders were ignored.

Once you've spent a while musing on how Doris Salcedo created the great crack that runs the entire length of the Turbine Hall floor at Tate Modern, extending - apparently - deep into the ground beneath the building, you may want to ask why. Or, as a graffitist wrote on Rachel Whiteread's demolished architectural artwork, House: "Wot for?"
Artists such as Salcedo and Whiteread reproduce not just the scale and drama of architecture, but its language. That is, their materials are not just concrete and metal pins, but the basic assumptions with which architects work. If architects create buildings, these artists create "unbuildings". Even the most modern of buildings - even Tate Modern - is supposed to stay upright, stable and keep the rain off people's heads. It isn't supposed to open like the Red Sea and let minds, if not bodies, fall into the void - that's the architect's worst nightmare. Worse than a wobbly bridge.
In coming into a building with diggers and cement but with no interest at all in building anything useful, an artist such as Salcedo can turn architecture upside down - or, as cultural theorists who have read Sigmund Freud's 1919 essay The Uncanny prefer to say, can reveal the architectural uncanny. This isn't an entirely pretentious quotation. The German word for uncanny is unheimlich, which literally means unhomely. German recognises that nothing is spookier or more unsettling than feeling ill at ease in your own home; feeling that the architecture of everyday life has somehow turned exquisitely and unfathomably awry.
In 1858, in a speech that warned of imminent civil war between the anti-slavery northern and slave-owning southern states of the US, presidential hopeful Abraham Lincoln drew on the Bible to warn: "A house divided against itself will not stand." For Lincoln, the house whose terrible fissure will cause it to collapse unless something is quickly done is not just a psychological but a political metaphor. And that is how Salcedo means it, too.
Colombia in the 1980s, when Salcedo began making art, was as divided and violent as the 19th-century North America of Poe and Lincoln. Born in Bogotá in 1958, Salcedo insists her work is a direct expression of other people's suffering, rather than merely her own emotional response to it; indeed, that each work of art she makes is based on specific first-hand accounts from victims of violence and forced migration. It was specifically in trying to document and commemorate Colombian victims that she got interested in making holes and voids in buildings - voids whose significance isn't hard to decode.
Salcedo was in her 30s when her art really started to take shape. In 1985 she witnessed a horrific clash between guerrillas and the state that ended in people being burned to death in the occupied Palace of Justice in Bogotá: "It left its mark on me. I began to conceive of works based on nothing." Her response was to go to a hospital in Bogotá and collect dead patients' discarded shoes, which she put into cavities dug in a wall and veiled in a weblike fibre.
She has admitted that it is hard to learn and develop when you come from a place that, before the internet, seemed cut off from the rest of the world: "In a third-world country, one suffers from a lack of information." Later, she studied in New York, where she became interested in the art of Joseph Beuys, before returning to Colombia to teach. She is still based in Bogotá but travels widely as an artist - an important recent work was made for the Istanbul Biennial. She says her Tate Modern piece has to do with the experience of a migrant from a poor country in a rich western capital.
In fact, it may come as a surprise, seeing how powerfully she occupies Tate's converted power station, that until quite recently Salcedo has been best known for domestic works on an intimate scale. Even her grandiose recent installations use old wooden chairs. The unhomely begins at home, and Salcedo's most characteristic sculptures take timeworn wooden furniture - a wardrobe, a kitchen table - and turn them into eerie ghosts of themselves. There is a violence to her home invasions. An old cupboard with drawers, the kind of quaint furniture item around which Colombian novelist Gabriel García Marquez might weave a magical fiction, is filled with cold, hard concrete in a piece she made in 1995: the private world of dreams and memories, of the bedroom, is occupied by the steel and cement of a chilly authoritarian public life. Pieces such as this are, according to Salcedo, not her own imaginings, but reportage: "Each of the pieces tells its own story, articulated by images relating to real events. They rely heavily on the words the victim used while telling his or her experiences."
It might seem that Salcedo is a somewhat invisible and distant presence behind her impressive work - and that's how she wants it: the voices she is trying to give form to are those of the powerless. Or rather, she can't give them form: instead she takes form away. To give form is an act of power. There is no art more involved with power than architecture because nothing says as clearly as a building that "I had the power to build this". Surely it's no coincidence that women such as Salcedo and Whiteread take on the heavy-duty materials and the power-bragging aesthetic of architecture and turn it inside out. If to give form to bricks and stone and steel - to erect a skyscraper or power station - is an act of power, then to make a crack in a building might be to release the voices, to glimpse the suffering of the oppressed. Sound corny? Well, it is an idea that has given Tate Modern by far the most haunting of its Turbine Hall installations.

Reese and Ava Get in Some Girl Time
Reese and Ava Get in Some Girl Time
Reese Witherspoon ran some errands around LA on Saturday with the help of her mini-me, Ava. Even though Ava is a seasoned figure skater, maybe she wasn't quite ready to hit the slopes with her dad just yet. Instead, Reese's big girl accompanied her mom on a coffee run and a trip to the dry cleaners. Fun times, but not quite as cute as seeing the whole crew out and about with Jakey G.

Buick through the years
General Motors is attempting to make Buick more appealing to younger buyers with freshened up versions of the Regal midsize sports sedan and the LaCrosse large luxury car. GM unveiled the pair Tuesday ahead of the New York auto show.
Triplet girls looked at a 1959 Buick LeSabre, with its airplane-inspired design elements like tail fins and a wraparound windshield, when it debuted in 1958.
The 2004 Buick Century.
Buick, once coveted for its understated elegance, used to be a dominant brand. In 1984, GM sold 942,000 Buicks in the United States, according to Ward's AutoInfoBank. But many Buick buyers died, and younger people opted for SUVs and cooler European cars.
The 2005 Buick LaCrosse CXS.
The 2013 Buick Encore debuted at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Jan. 10, 2012.
The 2014 Buick LaCrosse 3.6L V6.
GM is giving the LaCrosse a more sculpted, modern look. It gets updated LED daytime running lamps and tail lights and a larger front grille. On the inside, it gets new, more supportive seats and a modernized center stack with fewer buttons than the current car.
The 2014 Buick Regal GS was introduced prior to the New York International Auto Show on March 26.
The Regal gets similar cosmetic changes on the outside. Inside, more supportive seats and a simpler dashboard and center console give it a sportier look. GM's 2.4-liter four-cylinder ''e-Assist'' engine, with a small electric motor that helps boost gas mileage, becomes standard.

So, I've already mentioned that I've gotten the family to sign on to the whole tofu thing. It wasn't exactly hard. While I won't deny that I've had tofu prepared in ways that justify its reputation, I quite like the stuff as a general rule. Our daughter is one of its biggest fans. It's the spouse that needed convincing, and convincing took a while. He too had "enjoyed" tofu prepared in some ways that left a little to be desired and let's face it, bean curd kind of conjures up images of self-righteous people who wander around carrying signs picketing barbeque joints. Since he's a barbeque artist, that's going to rub him exactly the wrong way. Convincing took a two pronged approach. The first was obvious: cook tofu in ways that taste good. I've said it before but it's probably worth saying again here: the fact that a food doesn't contain dead animals doesn't mean that it should be a punishment to eat it. By itself tofu doesn't have a lot of flavor, but if you do it right it can be just as good as meat.
The second prong of the attack was cost. The cost of tofu depends on where you buy it but on average I'm paying about $2.00 per block. A similar size piece of chicken breast - which would have similar applications - would cost about $4.00 - $6.00, depending on how scrupulous I'm feeling about where the chicken is coming from. Replacing meat with tofu a couple of nights a week cuts costs. I will admit that I had to promise that we were going neither vegetarian nor vegan, though.
Anyway, I'd planned to do this last week but I completely spaced and forgot to buy tofu. This week I remembered. I made this with just some stuff that I had on hand. I could have been a little happier with the texture of the finished tofu but I could have probably accomplished that by draining it in a strainer under a little bit of weight for a little while. I didn't have time - the toddler was pitching a series of successive temper tantrums like a cascading waterfall that made a twenty minute dish take an hour and twenty minutes to prepare as it was. I liked it well enough anyway. There was broccoli, after all, and ginger.
Tofu with Broccoli and Ginger (serves 4; approx. $1.89/serving)
1 block extra-firm tofu, diced
3 broccoli crowns, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon ginger salt
1 1/4 cups vegetable broth, divided
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 cup tamari (soy sauce is fine)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon hot pepper sesame oil
- Large wok
- Bowl
- Small bowl
- Combine 1/4 cup cold vegetable broth with 1 tablespoon corn starch in the small bowl and set aside.
- Combine the remaining broth with the tamari and the vinegar and set aside.
- Heat the oils in the wok.
- Add the tofu and stir-fry about 3 - 4 minutes.
- Push the tofu up the sides of the wok. Add the onions, garlic and ginger salt.
- Stir-fry until the onions are soft.
- Add the broccoli. Stir-fry until the broccoli is starting to become tender - just starting - and has become well coated with the pan mixture.
- Add the broth-and-tamari mixture and bring to a boil.
- Cook until the broccoli is tender enough for your liking. I preferred it to have a little bit of crunch.
- Add the cornstarch and broth mixture and stir until the sauce is thickened, less than thirty seconds.
- Serve hot.

Thai men plead guilty over Perth woman's stabbing
Two Thai men accused of murdering Australian travel agent Michelle Smith in June have pleaded guilty to all charges in a Bangkok court.
Ms Smith, 60, was in Phuket with a group of Australian travel agents on a business trip and was on the way back to her hotel with a colleague after dinner when two men on a motorbike attempted to snatch her handbag.
She was stabbed when she tried to resist.
The two men were charged last month with collaborating in the killing of someone for personal benefit, collaborating in taking property with a weapon causing death and injury, and carrying a weapon in a public place.
They have told police they attacked Ms Smith, from Perth, to get $US10 to pay for a drinks bill.
Surasak Suwannachote, 26, who admitted the stabbing and Surin Tabthong, 37, face lengthy jail sentences.
The hearing continues.

Randall fish decoys are a common collectable in this area
Most of this week's information comes from Frank R Baron's book, "Commercial Fish Decoys Identification & Value Guide." The book does exactly what the title indicates, providing information on fish decoys made for commercial sale to the public. Such was the case with George Randall, the founder and sole owner of the Randall Decoy Company in Willmar, Minn.
It's estimated the first Randall catalog flyer was published in the early 1960's. History shows their best seller was a generic decoy called the "Deluxe Decoy." This fish came in four different sizes and 10 different paint schemes. This company also made a sucker decoy in four different sizes, but only one paint pattern called "Golden Sucker." Their largest decoy was a pike style design, 16 inches long, only two paint patterns consisting of red/white and natural pike. The smallest Randall decoy is a red/white 2 1/4 inch miniature.
The easiest method to identify a real Randall fish decoy is to look at the lead weight. Their approach to weighting a decoy was unique in the business and remains quite rare to this day. All Randall decoys have a pre-cast lead weight with the price of the decoy imbedded in the lead. With the exception of very early Randall fish, all decoys have flat sides. All Randall's have metal tails with the exception of their two panfish decoys, the highly sought after sunfish and crappie. Only these two fish had a curved wooden tail.
There were 15 commonly used paint patterns used on Randall panfish. However, some oddball type patterns have been found, such as a natural finish. These fish were probably special order decoys. Early Randall's have a groove cut in the bottom of the head. Decoys without that design were made later. All weights were attached with small nails. Over time those nails would often rust or fall out. A simple task to remedy, but important to look at especially when purchasing a Randall fish.
An all-original Randall is worth much more than a decoy that has been altered. Be aware Randall decoy eyes were machine carved into the head area and sprayed with only two colors. Side fins were most often painted with the same color as the decoy body.
Lastly, Randall fish came in two different style paper boxes. Early boxes were all paper, cover and bottom. Later boxes had a plastic top, which did poorly over time. It cracked easily, making mint boxes of this style hard to find and quite collectible. Sadly, most Randall fish will be found without their original box. Same old song and dance here. A Randall fish in its correct box in mint condition will greatly affect the buying or selling price.
This information will serve you well when searching out or selling Randall fish decoys. I am confident you will find Randall fish decoys common in this area.
With a multitude of different-style Randall fish available, the values for their many sizes and paint schemes are quite varied. Those most in demand are the sunfish/crappie panfish, the 16-inch pike and the red/white miniature. Frank Baron's book values all Randalls from $25 to $90. Remember in many of my articles I shared book values are often over-priced. Read carefully -- that is not the case with this book's price range. In my opinion, values provided are far below current value.
A few examples for your consideration. The two panfish-style Randalls in super shape will command $200 to $400 each. The 16-inch pike, depending on condition, will bring $400 to $700. The miniature fish in mint condition should fetch $30 to $40. As always, add the box and the value goes up at least 25 percent. All other style Randall fish, depending on color and condition, should cost you anywhere from $20 to $90. Until next time, may all your searches be successful.

Defenseman Brad Lukowich scored a third-period goal and the host Vancouver Canucks earned a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres last night.
Thomas Vanek tied the game on a power play 1:49 into the period, but Henrik and Daniel Sedin combined on a nice play to set up Lukowich for the winner.
After taking a pass from twin brother Henrik, Daniel cut into the slot before making a between-the-legs drop pass to Lukowich pinching in hard from the point.
Lukowich, who was in the American Hockey League until recently because of the Canucks' salary cap issues to start the season, quickly snapped a shot over Ryan Miller's glove at 5:21 of the third period for his first goal since Nov. 5, 2007.
Penguins 4, Rangers 2 - Chris Conner, recalled from the minor leagues earlier in the day, netted two goals and Pittsburgh scored twice one minute apart in the third period to beat host New York.
After Artem Anisimov gave the Rangers their only lead 9:15 into the third with his second goal of the night, Evgeni Malkin got Pittsburgh even at 9:46 - 16 seconds into a power play. Conner then fired in a rebound of Sidney Crosby's shot one minute later to put the Penguins back in front.
Pascal Dupuis's empty-netter with 39.8 seconds left sealed Pittsburgh's fourth win over the Rangers this season.
That was enough to give a win to Marc-Andre Fleury, who returned from a four-game absence caused by a broken finger.
Blues 2, Flames 0 - Ty Conklin made 34 saves for his third shutout of the season and visiting St. Louis beat Calgary.
Patrik Berglund and David Perron scored for St. Louis.

A Look At Women And Men Switching Places
Waking up one day and everything has changed, meaning all that we were used to is now opposite. Like the women becoming the men when going on a dates or even seeing women trying to pick up men at the bars.
Opposite Day is a good way to put this, guys with our great pickup lines and the smooth talking trying to get at these ladies. What if the girls where the ones using the smooth talking and pickup lines to get at the guys? Meaning us men would be girls in this situation probably acting how women would act when a guy is hitting on them. This would be funny to see women go to the bar and be hitting on the men (lol). How would this be if it was really reality?

Wall Street may be deciding that it's not such a bad thing to be GameStop Corp. It helped that the company has the financial flexibility to raise its dividend.
The Grapevine-based world leader in the video game retail business reported a 32 percent decline in second-quarter profit on Thursday, but its stock price increased nonetheless.
CEO Paul Raines and president Tony Bartel elaborated on new game titles coming out later this year and how stores are driving digital sales. They also offered a more upbeat view of Nintendo's soon-to-launch Wii U than the naysayers'.
"Don't forget that two-thirds of the year is ahead of us from a sales point of view," Raines said during a conference call with analysts, referring to how important the holiday shopping season is to the business.
GameStop conveyed a message that maybe it's not time to give up on the physical gaming business based on what it knows from its 20 million PowerUp Rewards members.
The Wii U, which uses a new tablet controller, is the first console from game hardware maker Nintendo in some time. Likewise, Microsoft and Sony are expected to launch new versions of the Xbox and Playstation next year. This time around, GameStop has double the market share it did when the previous consoles were launched, Bartel said.
GameStop shares gained 93 cents, or 5.5 percent, to close at $17.98 a share on Thursday.
Raines said the company's financial moves shouldn't be underestimated.
GameStop raised the company's quarterly dividend to 25 cents a share from 15 cents. The company just started paying a dividend in March. It also pledged to continue buying back shares, which has a positive impact on earnings and its future stock price.
Management maintained its full-year guidance to earn a profit of $3.10 to $3.30 a share before any one-time items.
Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia said the latest dividend increase makes GameStop shares more expensive for short sellers, and he expects the company will raise the dividend again soon.
"They've also done a good job of creating new businesses that now represent 10 percent of their revenue," Bhatia said. "This management is very cognizant of what's happening in their industry. They aren't asleep at the switch. It's very commendable what they've done."
GameStop plans to keep making investments in new technology and has worked to streamline digital downloads, making the process easier to launch and faster to complete. GameStop is working with the industry to encourage extra digital downloads that enhance game play with every new title launched on disc.
GameStop also said it's reviewing its asset values. Its lower stock price has resulted in GameStop's book value exceeding its market capitalization. GameStop's stock price has been down 20 percent from a year ago.
The company reported a second-quarter profit of $21 million, or 16 cents a share, compared with a profit of $30.9 million, or 22 cents a share, a year ago.
Total sales fell 11.1 percent to $1.55 billion compared with $1.74 billion in the same quarter last year. Same-store sales fell 9.3 percent.
Pre-owned game sales outperformed new video game sales but declined 11.2 percent. The company's sales outperformed the industry overall.
Sales in other categories sales increased 40.6 percent. Digital sales were up 27 percent to $134 million, and sales of mobile devices, including tablets and smartphones that the company is buying back from the public in its stores and refurbishing in a facility in Grapevine, totaled $29 million. That business is on track to reach $150 million to $200 million this year, the company said.

The Republic of Ireland international has agreed terms with the Saints and will sign on Tuesday, subject to the successful completion of a medical.
Rams boss Jim Smith denied reports that Everton and Celtic had expressed an interest in Delap but did admit that Sunderland were in contact about the former Carlisle ace but would not meet the asking price.
"Despite reports, we have received no bid from Everton or Celtic for Rory. Sunderland were interested but baulked at the asking price."
Should the deal go through it will be a new club record for the Saints, doubling the £2m they paid Sheffield Wednesday for David Hirst.
Delap will link up with his former manager at Carlisle, Mick Wadsworth, who was appointed as assistant to Stuart Gray at Southampton last week.

Radio Witham has been relaunched with a new studio to broadcast from in Grantham Hospital.
A relaunch party was held on Saturday for the hospital radio station with guests including the Mayor of Grantham Frank Turner, his wife and mayoress Christina, and Deputy Mayor Ian Selby.
The station has moved into a permanent studio inside the hospital building after broadcasting for many years from a Portakabin in the grounds.
Station manager Howard Newport said the the relaunch was a great success with many of the station's supporters attending.
Mr Newport said: "The Mayor and his deputy were very complimentary about the new studios and we were really overwhelmed with the support."
Mr Newport, who has been working in radio for ten years, added: "This was the perfect time for the station to launch a new sound. We have had a fantastic set of new jingles sung, and new computer play out software installed. We're also launching a new logo to refresh our visual image. We're really pleased with the new look and sound; it's really brought the station forward."
The move took several months to complete, with volunteers giving their time to help the station move furniture and equipment, and gear up for a fresh sound.
Volunteer coordinator Ray Oliver, who presents a request show every Monday, said: "We had been looking to move for several years, and this was an opportunity we couldn't miss. We knew we had to move and this was our best opportunity. We are sure that the patients and staff will love the new professional sound to the station. All the volunteers are looking forward to presenting their shows with our refreshed look."

Los Angeles (THR) -- In what would be her first screen role in 10 years, Oscar-winning actress Joanne Woodward is expected to co-star opposite husband Paul Newman in HBO's adaptation of the best-selling novel "Empire Falls."
The project, a comedic look at blue-collar life in the depressed Maine mill town of Empire Falls, centers on Miles Roby, a fortysomething decent guy stuck running Empire Grill, the town's most popular eatery, for 20 years.
Woodward would play Francine Whiting, a controlling and manipulative widow who owns Empire Grill as well as almost everything else in the dead-end town. Newman, who will also serve as an executive producer, has already been attached to play Roby's ne'er-do-well father in the film, which author Richard Russo adapted from his novel. Fred Schepisi ("The In-Laws") is attached to direct.
Woodward's last onscreen performance was in the 1994 CBS telefilm "Breathing Lessons," which earned her Golden Globe and SAG awards, as well as an Emmy nomination.
Woodward won an Oscar for her role in the 1957 feature "The Three Faces of Eve."
Woodward and Newman have appeared together in more than a dozen films, most recently the 1990 feature "Mr. & Mrs. Bridge," which landed Woodward Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
Last year, Newman starred in the play "Our Town" at the Westport (Conn.) Country Playhouse, where Woodward is artistic director.

Autumn escapes
Freed of school-year restrictions, empty nesters flock to the bargains and pleasures of fall travel
Sue and Sid Farinha of Chelmsford are fluent in travel, especially when the leaves turn and New England evenings become crisp. There's less noise and more elbow room. Hotel rooms are plentiful, and it's easier to mingle with the locals.
Since their three children grew up and left home, the Farinhas have become dedicated fall travelers, no longer having to schedule vacations around the demands of the school year. Typically waiting until late autumn - November or early December - Sid, 78, and Sue, 63, have traveled to Europe and the Caribbean at prices as much as 40 percent below peak summer travel periods.
"We like it best in the off-season,'' says Sue Farinha. "That, for us, is usually the beginning of December. The rates are lower and the crowds are smaller. Less people. It's quieter and easier.''
Fall is one of the best times to travel, when the weather is decent, the prices lower, and crowds smaller, travel agents say. Once the kids are gone, many older travelers use the newfound flexibility to trade summer treks for autumn adventures.
The Farinhas have been to Europe and South America while making frequent treks to the Caribbean, including an even dozen trips to Jamaica. They found Sid's distant relatives in Portugal, and unsuccessfully looked for Sue's in Ireland. No matter, they said, the trips were great.
"The fall is really when most seniors and empty nesters travel,'' says Gabe Garavanian, who owns Garavanian Travel in North Chelmsford with his twin brother, Harry. "They're really more price-driven, so they're looking for the best deals.''
One amazing deal this fall? Hawaii, said Garavanian. Temperatures on the islands remain in the 70s and 80s, but prices drop between September and mid-December. For example, a 10-night package including air fare, inter-island air travel, car rental, and stays in four- and five-star hotels on Kauai and Maui would cost about $5,000 for a trip beginning at the end of October; in March, it would cost nearly $6,400.
In the Bahamas, fall sales on hotel rooms can slash room rates by as much as 60 percent. Atlantis Paradise Island, a resort and water park, offers a package deal in which a companion flies free when a traveler pays regular price- and tosses in a fourth hotel night for free for both of them. (Watch the weather forecasts for the Bahamas between June 1 and Nov. 30, however. It's hurricane season.)
Prices typically drop significantly in Europe after Oct. 1. One example is the Celebrity Cruises Equinox, an 11-night trip departing from Rome in November, with stops in Italy, Greece, and Turkey. A concierge room costs about $2,500; in July, the same trip cost nearly $6,000.
Karen McCrink, vacation travel manager for Atlas Travel in Milford, cautions that Europe is "a big place.'' While prices fall in northern Europe in September or October, peak-season rates can stay in place until November in southern European countries, such as Italy.
The Farinhas' favorite time to travel is the first week of December, before prices jump for the Christmas vacation period. When their three children were growing, they never traveled during the school year; vacations were restricted to summers, and jaunts to Old Orchard Beach in Maine, Cape Cod, and other New England destinations.
But in early November, the planning begins. They check prices on the Internet, read newspapers, and go to their travel agent to learn about specials.
The Farinhas frequently return to Jamaica, where they have explored various parts of the island. "We don't stay in the same place because we want to see different ends of Jamaica,'' says Sue Farinha.
They spend days on the beaches, and evenings in night clubs. They never rent a car - "Are you kidding?'' says Sue. "They drive on the left over there.'' But, she added, the people are "accommodating, and helpful with everything. No matter what, it's, 'no problem, no problem.' ''
As far as the next trip, it's still summer and they haven't really thought about it. Which brings up another advantage of off-season travel: you don't necessarily have to book months in advance.
"We'll decide in November, probably,'' says Sid. "We'll see the rates, then decide.''

APRIL SMOCK, the humanities department chairwoman at Danville's Athenian School, and 20 high school students rose before dawn this morning, put on warm winter clothing, and walked two miles to the National Mall in Washington D.C.
They will wait with millions of others for a chance to witness history today as Barack Obama is sworn in as the first African-American president.
"As a teacher, I realize that the opportunity to provide our students with an experience that so clearly allows them to see and feel the passion Americans have about the election process has the potential to spark a lifetime of passion for what it means to be a citizen," Smock said.
She decided to take students to the inauguration in September, two months before the election. In partnership with World Strides, an organization that runs student trips to the capital, she was able to plan a five-day trip that includes visits to national landmarks as well as several inaugural events.
"I wanted this trip to be for kids who had never been to Washington, D.C. and who had a genuine interest in the political process," Smock said. Sophomores, juniors and seniors wrote essays about why they wanted to go, and 20 students were selected.
"As a Mexican-American, I believe the opportunity to attend the inauguration would give me the chance to bring hope to the Athenian community and my neighborhood in Oakland. I could let them know that if you work hard and believe, you will succeed," sophomore Sandra Loyola wrote.
Sandra's classmate Tina Solvic wrote: "For once, I want to live through, understand, and remember an election. I want to be able to look back on my teen-age years and know that I paid attention to my surroundings and the political climate of the time."
The students arrived in Washington on Saturday in order to attend the week's events, including Sunday's kickoff at the Lincoln Memorial and an inaugural ball. The group also will tour the Washington Monument, Arlington Cemetery, the American History Museum, the Holocaust Museum and the Capitol Building.
Nobel Freeman, one of Smock's former students, is currently an aide to Sen. Dianne Feinstein and will give them a tour.
"I really want them to feel the excitement of the inaugural week, to absorb the energy, and to take pride in being an American citizen," Smock said.
Elementary-school students at Carden West, a private school in Pleasanton, won't be at the inauguration, but they had their voices heard nonetheless.
Lisa Harp's students recently read letters they had written to President-elect Obama on Campbell Brown's program on CNN. The students expressed their concerns on subjects that range from pets to the Israeli situation.
Fourth-grader Kylee Wagner shared the nicknames she has been called and then asked, "How do you like being called No Drama Obama?"
Sixth-grader Mario Porteo asked, "What will you do about the immigrants? I want to know because I am Latino and people from my country, which is Guatemala, come here as immigrants."

LAS CRUCES, N.M. {AP} New Mexico State University regents have rejected a proposal to extend health and insurance benefits to "domestic partners" of unmarried employees whether in homosexual or heterosexual couples.
"I feel marital status is the most appropriate and reasonable standard for determining the eligibility of benefits," Regent John Van Sweden said Friday. "There is no compelling reason for the university to absorb the extra cost of this program."
Extending benefits to NMSU employees' domestic partners would cost the university an additional $140,000 a year, school officials estimated.
Van Sweden was the only regent to explain his opposition to the proposal during the meeting. But the rejection on a unanimous vote came as no surprise since a majority of the five-member board had expressed opposition in recent months to changing the university's policy.
Still, one man in the meeting room crowded with about 50 supporters of the proposal, told the regents, "Shame, shame, shame."
Newly elected board President Del Archuleta and Vice President Larry Sheffield said afterwards they voted against the proposal because of concern that any criteria, outside of marriage, that NMSU established would leave the university vulnerable to lawsuits in cases where benefits were denied.
"It comes down to the simplest way for the university to administer its benefits policy is through the marriage criteria," Archuleta said.
He added that he was not philosophically opposed to extending benefits to same-sex partners of NMSU employees.
"I don't mean to make this sound like a cop-out, but we don't make rules about marriage. That's an issue for people who write laws," said Archuleta, referring to homosexual relationships not being legally recognized as marriages.
But Steven Helmreich, a computer analyst and member of NMSU's Lesbian and Gay Staff and Faculty, saw it differently.
Helmreich, who has shared a home with his gay partner for seven years, said the policy change was a matter of equitable treatment for those employees who cannot legally marry the people they love.
The University of New Mexico, along with schools such as Duke, Harvard and Stanford, has since 1994 offered health and insurance benefits to partners of gay and lesbian employees.
"This has been tried in so many places, it's like being afraid of electricity or fluoride in water," said Gabriel Lampert, an assistant math professor who is a member of the gay and lesbian group.
He said he was disappointed by the regents' decision because a growing number of private firms, cities and major universities across the country are extending benefits to cover same-sex partners of employees, partly in an effort to be competitive.

Because they don't like Yahoo!, it seems. The heart of the argument is that Flickr, the popular photo-sharing site bought by the web giant almost two years ago, is finally moving all of its users over to Yahoo!'s sign-in system.
The move had been foreshadowed for some time, and last week "old-skool" users were told that the curtain would finally fall in March, and they needed to switch to a Yahoo! login or face losing their pictures. The arrival of a deadline caused a kerfuffle among some early adopters, who piled in thick and fast to complain about various issues - invasions of privacy, inelegant usernames and a lack of incentives among them.
To many users (indeed, to the 95% of the site's 4.5m users who already use Yahoo IDs to log in) it seemed like a simple request. But for others, it was a controversy. "Way to go Flickr, screw the people that help make you what Flickr is today," said one user. "Time to vote with our feet perhaps," said another.
The site's staff tried to fight the fire. "Flickr was acquired nearly two years ago and it is still the same people (plus a few more) running it, writing the software, designing the features, etc," said Stewart Butterfield, who started the service in 2004 with his wife Caterina Fake. "So, that hasn't really changed. This is not a new development."
But the fire kept burning. The Flick Off! group has now grown to more than 1,500 members and many are suggesting switching to still-independent rivals such as Zooomr.com or SmugMug.
Whatever happens, it shows how quickly the worm can turn when even sites with a strong community and reputation for great customer service face such revolt.
It is not the first, of course. YouTube faced a barrage of criticism when the site's owners cashed in with Google last year, with users uploading videos expressing their anger that "their" YouTube was now somebody else's.
Historically, every successful startup has faced the same teething pains: how to take necessary investment to keep the business growing while not getting slammed by users for selling out. Other community sites that could face the same dilemma in the future include Digg.com and Facebook, which had its own problems last year when it brought in a bizarre tracking system that invaded personal privacy.
"The same situation happens in music when artists get accused of selling out," says Martin Stiksel of community music site Last.fm.
"Taking a service for early adopters and bringing it to mainstream users is difficult, but creatively you have to make the decision to try and reach as many people as possible. It's about getting the balance right, but you win some and you lose some."

U.S. officials downplay general's assessment of China ASAT test
Post a comment
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. In separate presentations here Thursday (April 12), U.S. Strategic Command Commander Gen. James Cartwright and National Reconnaissance Office Director Donald Kerr cautioned against reading too much into the Jan. 11 test by China of an antisatellite weapon.
Their statements came a day after U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley likened the impact of the China test to Russia's 1957 launch of Sputnik.
Cartwright, a Marine general heading an Air Force command responsible for space and strategic weapons, asked: "Was this event a watershed? Not in my mind. This is not the defining moment in US-China relations."
Gen. Cartwright pointed out that China's use of a mobile launcher to hit an aging weather satellite was not dissimilar to ASAT tests conducted by the U.S. and Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Let's give the Chinese credit for trying to move forward and bring these attributes to their nation," he said, adding that the Jan. 11 test was a wakeup call for the United States to improve its intelligence and response capabilities.
However, it was not an excuse for reassessing U.S.-China relations, he said, and was not a clarion call for an arms race in space.
Donald Kerr, director of the NRO since 2005, similarly was circumspect in remarks following his speech. He said that the destruction of the weather satellite undoubtedly increased the debris field in space, requiring more evasive maneuvers for satellites in low-earth orbit.
Kerr added that the Chinese test added to a significant amount of space debris from other nations, and "the China test may have added a few percent to the total."
Kerr said he knew of no direct impact on NRO satellites due to increased space debris.

Album Rating: 4.0If anyone has any tips to make better reviews, please tell me, But don't be so harsh with them, no one likes a douche!
Dont include exclamation points in your reviews, it makes the writing feel forced and uninteresting. Also, do not bring up religion in a review... especially one for a mediocre band that never talks about religion.
Needs more reviews
former glory!!!!!!!!!!!
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffWhere to start...yes cut the exclamation points completely. Never describe a song as "technical." If it's technically demanding describe what the musicians are doing. You need to use more concrete examples to back up your statements or shorten the review to 2 paragraphs and focus on brief positives/negatives of the album. I am completely at loss as to what "My Religion" being "brittle around the edges" means. Sorry man, this needs lots of work.
Digging: Duke Ellington - The Far East Suite
"No one likes a douche"
Album Rating: 3.5They've been around longer than the reviewer thinks, as well.
Their first album was in 1996. That's roughly 17 years ago.
But don't be so harsh with them, no one likes a douche!
Album Rating: 2.0The use of the exclamation marks lmao.
Digging: Polaris (AUS) - The Mortal Coil
Album Rating: 2.0????!!!!! SKILLET RISE OMG !!!!
Album Rating: 2.0"the band isn't a group of sellouts,"
Album Rating: 2.0Everyone has gotta stop being douches. No one likes a douche!
So for anyone who doesn't know, Skillet has been alive much longer then you think, They've been around about 11 years, and released 8 albums before Rise. Their first big seller came out in 2006, titled "Comatose", and showed the world the talent they have, the true potential that the band possesses, and their passion to their religious beliefs. It was so good that even non-religious people was able to fall for these guys. But then came "Awake". Sure, some songs on Awake were fun (Hero, Monster, Lucy, and Awake and Alive), but the album itself was nothing but fodder and mainstream waste. I wasn't expecting much with "Rise", but, and dare you call me for making this statement, Skillet has Risen back to their former glory!!!
