Helping You Choose Wisely
By Angie Patrick
In my years of experience in the massage-supply business, I have had the tremendous opportunity to meet and speak with literally thousands of massage therapists. I often am asked questions about professional-grade products and how to know when it might be time to make a change. When I began in the industry years ago, there were only a couple of major players in the lubricant field, so the choices were not so difficult to make. But now, as our industry has grown and prospered, so have the choices in lubricants. My intent in this article is not to promote any specific brand, but rather give you some pointers so you can make the right decision for your own practice.
My first piece of advice: Always use professional-grade products designed and manufactured for professional massage therapist use. Products found in drug stores, discount chains and grocery stores are typically not designed for use on a professional level. Keep in mind you will be in contact with this product every day, with your hands immersed. You want to make sure the products you choose are designed for this type of extended exposure to skin and that it's not irritating to your skin after prolonged exposure.
Changes in skin-care technology have prompted many changes in lubricant markets. Manufacturers have become far more savvy in the ingredients they use and the overall effect the products have on the skin. In other words, it's OK to branch out and try something new because there is so much out there now. It's just a smart idea to stay in touch with new ideas in lubricants. Here are a few tips on how you can try new products without breaking the bank.
When looking for new products, it's always smart to ask your supplier if they happen to have any samples. Manufacturers sometimes will supply their distributors with sample-size products to try. In the event there are no samples, I would suggest you buy the smallest available size of the product in order to give it your evaluation. In most cases, once you break the seal on a product, it cannot be returned. This is the best reason I know to buy the smallest size on the first try. You can always buy a larger size if you like the product. Even if you have used the same lubricant for years, it never hurts to branch out a bit and see what else the market has to offer.
How should I care for my lubricants? This is a question I get asked all the time. I have to say, it's always best to avoid extreme temperatures. I have heard of therapists who have left their products in their cars for months during searing heat and bitter cold, and then wonder why it separated or smelled "funny." You should care for your lubricants by providing them storage in a temperate location not prone to climate changes. Oils like the dark, so a cabinet or closet works well. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
How do I know when my lubricant has "gone bad?" Most manufacturers provide information regarding the shelf life of their products. In some cases, you may even see an expiration date printed on the bottle or jar. You will want to avoid using any product that has an undesirable odor. Oils can sometimes have a faint "cooking oil" smell when they begin to turn. Lotions and crèmes can give an unpleasant smell that somewhat resembles "plastic," for lack of a better descriptive. Of course, should you see any discoloration or growth on the inside of the container or cap, you should discard the product immediately.
One way you can help inhibit the growth of bacteria in your lubricants is to avoid cross-contamination of the product. Never use your hands to dip product from a larger container to a smaller one. Always use a clean spoon or spatula. This will prevent bacteria that live on your skin from being transferred to the product.
Whether you decide to use an oil, lotion or crème, it's always important to make sure you have asked your client about any allergies they may have. Occasionally, you will have a client who may have a pronounced allergy to an ingredient found in your lubricants - most commonly nuts. Be sure you have asked the proper questions on your intake form so you can avoid your client having an uncomfortable reaction.
This brings us to the question, "Which lubricant type will work best for me?" This will depend largely on the type of massage you want to perform. Each type of lubricant has its own special properties that aid the therapist in treatment. Oils can be used for any modality in which you will need extended glide. Oil provides the least amount of friction and is widely utilized for Swedish massage. Seed oils and nut oils are widely used; however, I would again stress the importance of making sure your client has no allergies to the ingredients in the oil you use. Lotions and crèmes are better suited for modalities that do not require a great deal of glide but instead utilize grip. You will want a product that will allow you enough glide to warm the tissue, but finish with enough grip as to allow you to work the tissue below the skin.
Finally, "How do I clean my sheets and avoid staining?" This is a concern for therapists and spas alike. Once your sheets are stained, you really cannot use them again because your clients will have the impression they are unsanitary. So, how do you care for them? There are detergents on the market made especially for the removal of oils, creams and lotions. You can surf the Web site of your favorite massage-product supplier and find a number of eco-friendly and lubricant-specific detergents designed to break down and remove the residue. Also, many manufacturers are using ingredients that make the products "water-dispersible," which certainly helps when it comes time to do laundry!
I encourage you to check out all your options and begin your journey of exploration. There are so many wonderful and exciting things appearing on the market every day; you owe it to yourself to stay in the know and be informed about the newest advancements and product breakthroughs in the industry. It's a big sea of options out there; happy fishing!

As a result of the information security breach at the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) that was detected on October 10, 2012, the Social Security numbers and business tax identification numbers of approximately 3.6 million South Carolinians have been compromised.
WASHINGTON -- My inner Pollyanna was basking in blissfulness, rolling in the hay of righteous rhetoric, backstroking through the sunny sibilance of aspiration.
Since last October, I've spent part of my time in another world. For about three months, I reread the massive fantasy series The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. The final book, A Memory of Light, came out Jan. 8 and I was smart -- and loyal -- enough to pre-order it from our local bookstore in order to take advantage of a pretty great sale price.
Sometimes the leaders of the National Rifle Association don't seem to know how to take "yes" for an answer.
I'm not a Beyonce-hater … but I'm tired of Beyonce. I think she is a great performer and singer and I love some Destiny's Child, but I'm over her.
Nothing irks me more than to see a tree improperly pruned. Well, improper planting and no watering of new trees irks me too, but I'll save that for another time. Today I'd like to focus on the basics of tree pruning and next month I'll talk about utility line pruning. Being a hands-on person it's usually easier for me to show how-to rather explain how-to but I'll try. There's just so much to explain about the subject that there are text books and day-long seminars specifically dedicated to tree pruning so bear with me.
A couple weeks ago we talked about the Internet and the opportunities it's opened for everyone around the globe.
President Barack Obama's critics are shocked, shocked to hear him sound in his second inaugural address like what he is, a liberal progressive. One wonders what they expected.
If anyone bet money in the off-season that two brothers would face off in the Super Bowl, the name Manning would have certainly come to mind first.
Recently, the Congress approved the so-called "fiscal cliff" agreement. I voted against the final version of deal. The reason is pretty simple: the agreement raised spending. Again. Indeed, its passage seems to reaffirm a disturbing truth about today's Washington: compromises always lead to more spending, more debt, and too often, more taxes.
A lot of Camden residents and others who pass through Camden had a rough time of it last week when CSX Railroad closed not one, but two crossings in Dusty Bend to replace a 2,000-foot section of track.
NEW YORK -- To the world-weary, Lance Armstrong's confession to Oprah was just one more in a series.
The New Year brings new beginnings and a fresh start for many. It is with that in mind that I want to mention one of the great new programs in Kershaw County. The Kershaw County Youth Arbitration Program, which was first introduced in February of 2012, has been a fantastic addition to our county.
The beginning of the new session of the South Carolina General Assembly will undoubtedly bring renewed efforts to pass school voucher legislation. Like fire ant hills in the summer, some new version of voucher legislation pops up every year in Columbia. Proponents package it differently from year to year, but the basic premise when you strip away the slick marketing is that public funds would be used to support private schools.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Aaron Swartz, who took his own life Friday at age 26.
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- By all appearances Friday morning, as thousands lined the street waiting (and wilting) for hours in 90-degree heat to enter the funeral arena where President Obama was to deliver a eulogy for state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, racial unity seemed a comfortable fact of life.
Even though it's not an election year, in many ways it's always an election year for some politicians. Given the fact they are "hired" and employed by the voting public, their lives are a nearly constant campaign for re-election. I can understand that. They have cushy jobs they want to keep for many years to come.
When I was a wise-elbowed, wet nosed kid barely out of college, a lot of people used to annoy me with questions about what I wanted to do for a living.
(Kathleen Parker wrote this column in advance of President Barack Obama's appearance in Charleston for State Sen. Clementa Pinckney's funeral.)
Listen up, local public bodies: the S.C. Supreme Court recently ruled in a North Augusta case which I hope will make clearer -- if not settle once and for all -- how you enter executive sessions.
It happens all the time. Tink will meet someone new around where we live and, invariably, that person will mention my daddy.
(In last month's column, Camden Urban Forester Liz Gilland started a story about a snake in a tree in a city right of way. When she left off, Gilland had called a wildlife trapping company -- which didn't handle snakes -- and naturalist Austin Jenkins, who suggested it was best to leave the snake alone.)
WASHINGTON -- In a historic moment, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley called late Monday for removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the Statehouse grounds.
One of the questions of the tragic killing of Rev. Clementa Pinckney and eight of his church members at Emanuel AME Church is, why him? And, why now?
I do have to admit having a love/hate relationship with technology. It's something we all rely on, more and more each day, it seems, but I don't have to look very far to find some negatives about it, too. The biggest is how reliant we have become on it, usually without even realizing it. Like many things, it has evolved and grown at a gradual pace so it hasn't been as noticeable as it would have been if changes suddenly occurred.

The Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition is always looking for people willing to volunteer their time with our organization. Whether that's helping with office work, staffing events, or recruitng new members, we rely on volunteer support to help advance bicycling in Massachusetts.
Event Volunteers
Outreach means many things here at MassBike.

Whichever way you want to help out, our outreach volunteers are right out there trying to make bicycling in Massachusetts better.
Office Volunteers
We always need more help in the office! During regular business hours, volunteers can come help out in our downtown Boston office in a number of ways: basic research, data entry, envelope stuffing, or just giving the office a good cleaning. We're always happy to see volunteers around the office to keep us energized and excited.
Valet Bike Parking Volunteers
MassBike provides bicycle valet across Massachusetts and we love it. We get to help out bicyclists and people can see just how easy it is to bike since so many other people are doing it. But we need your help to park all those bikes!

Have only tried the corned beef snadwiches. Fantastic. Not the kind you get at a deli or most resturants. The meat was in chunks, freshly cooked, melted in your mouth. Best I have ever had.
We ordered from Irish Pig when family was over because we wanted to try somewhere new. No one was overly impressed with their food (pulled pork, ribs, brisket were a few of the items we ordered) but everyone agreed the garlic fries were very good. Easily the best part of the meal! I think I like the pulled pork better...
I used them to cater a luncheon for 30 people and everyone loved the bbq, coleslaw and potato salad. The owner was very easy to work with and very helpful with portions. I would use this place again.
Unfortunately, due to all of the Mississippi influence we have in Chicago, we know great bar-b-q. Unfortunately, this isn't it. It is very average, and not inexpensive.
I ordered 1 1/2 pounds of corned beef costing $17. I got a plastic container of mushy beef in tiny pieces. You couldn't even make a sandwich and keep it on the bread . When I told the young girl of my disappointment she told me she would refund my money but she really didn't have to! That put the...
After reading the positive reviews, we decided to try the Irish Pig. We were disappointed with our selections. The corn beef was in chucks not sliced and the ribs were very meaty but tasted like they had been boiled not smoked. The price was fair. I don't know if we will return.
So happy to have a BBQ place in New Lenox! Discovered this little gem a few months ago. Delicious pulled pork. Ribs fell off the bone. Hand cut fresh French fries with several flavor options...Cajun, garlic, truffle to name a few. We will definitely visit often!
Great BBQ. Several kinds of meat and lots of selection. Get "The Mess" - decadent pile of fries smothered in cheese, pulled pork, BBQ Sauce, green onions, etc. Try with sweet potato fries for an even better southern twist on loaded nachos!
Wonderful tasty pulled pork. Loaded fries is soooo good. Brisket is good also. Just talk with Kathy there with what you like, she will help you out. If you are really hungry - try the Fireman Bob Burger!
Very good beef and pork, very good sauce. Spiced fries are also very good.
Possibly the best burger in the area, very good size and flavor. Try the home made soups.
Giving this place 4 stars for location- no place to sit down inside - but great
for carry out.

When son of UFC hall of famer Randy Couture, Ryan Couture, made his UFC debut he did so without his dad in his corner. The elder Couture recently signed a deal to star in Bellator's reality series and was subsequently banned from being back stage at any UFC event, including as a corner for his son. Couture recently spoke about the situation to MMAJunkie:

I asked Keith and here's what he said:"Cornermen (and women) get licensed as seconds in Nevada. As far as the Commission is concerned, a licensed combatant can choose any such second.I have no idea if a promoter and a combatant may have discussions on whether a promoter does not want the combatant to use a certain second, and what the result of such a discussion would be."So the commission grants them a license to allow them to corner, and after that its between the promoter and the fighter.

does Randy have the same writer that Rampage does over at Bellator?
6/9/13 1:01 PM by mikethecricket
If Randy is the star of a directly competing show, then I see the decision not to let him corner as ALL BUSINESS.Maybe it seems a little more personal because it is his son.The UFC is king of the hill, and if Randy appears in their content, they are building up a competitor (for free!).

I thought Randy decided not to corner his son because he didn't want to jeopardize the kid's relationship with the UFC. Sure Randy could have done this and that but in the end he decided it would be best to just let sleeping dogs lie.No?

Randy was not allowed to corner Ryan and he was not even allowed to buy a ticket to get into the event.Cmon CindyO I expect better shilling out of you. You are clearly out of your shilling prime. Its like Ali on the ropes vs. Holmes. So sad to see.Chaelismyhero

If I was retired and I had an "in" (job of any type) with the UFC - and my son just signed a multi-fight contract with them, I'd sacrifice other more lucrative work opportunities to stay in good graces with the UFC in hopes it would help my boy's career. Conversely, if I took a better job somewhere else as the result of playing hardball with the UFC, I'd be concerned my son's spot would be jeopardized. This is what helping your kid out is all about.........but maybe Randy expects his kid to eventually get the boot, so he'll help him get a spot at his (Randy's) new job.?.I realize Randy is no longer married, but has no one else faced the wrath of their wife under similar circumstances?
6/9/13 1:10 AM by ChaosOverkill
also based on the potential of being denied entry I doubt Randy wanted to create a distraction for his own son on his first UFC fight. I'm sure shills will argue Randy beats puppies or something and therefore doesn't care about his son but this issue is not cut and dry that either is right here.

Bird Strike Committee USA (BSC USA) is a volunteer organization whose mission is to promote wildlife strike awareness and reporting, with the fundamental goal of mitigating wildlife hazards to aviation. BSC USA holds an annual conference where information is exchanged through presentations, exhibitors and networking, and is an active participant at other aviation meetings in the USA and globally.
The organization is directed by a Steering Committee consisting of members from representative organizations, including:
- Federal Aviation Administration
- U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Department of Defense
- U.S. Airports
- Private Sector Services
- Airlines
- Aerospace Industry
Bird and other wildlife strikes to aircraft are estimated to cause over $900 million in damage to U.S. civil and military aviation annually. Furthermore, these strikes put the lives of aircraft crew members and their passengers at risk: over 250 people have been killed worldwide as a result of wildlife strikes since 1988.

2013 NPR Wall Calendar: October
"Turning on NPR in the morning is as important as turning on the lights. Most radio has become noise; it's about who can scream or play the loudest. I hate noise. So now I choose my own music and eavesdrop on people I admire by listening to NPR."
Bill Carman
Listens to KBSX, Boise, ID
Every page of the NPR Wall Calendar features original art by renowned illustrators who happen to be NPR fans themselves. In addition to being asked to depict their relationship with NPR, each artist contributes a few words of background describing their inspiration for the creation. The 2013 NPR Wall Calendar is available for purchase in the NPR Shop at shop.npr.org.

If you were dating a sexy Israeli supermodel like Bar Refaeli, what would you do to keep her? Would you, a nonpracticing Catholic, convert to Judaism? Rumor has it that Leonardo DiCaprio is considering doing just that for his longtime love.
RELATED: Bet you didn't know these facts about fellow Jew Paul Rudd
Recently, Leo's made several trips to Israel "to learn more about Israel and its culture and religion to appease her traditional family," an insider tells The Daily Mail. "Leo's sudden intense interest in Israel, its culture and religion is the clearest sign yet that he intends to marry Bar." As for Bar, she's said to be "over the moon" that he's considering converting. But don't wish him mazel tov yet: A source close to Leo tells Gossip Cop that the story's "not true." Oy vey!
RELATED: A guide to the sexy Hollywood Jew
Should Leo remain, shall we say unkosher, he might as well kiss Bar bye-bye. Her father, Rafael Refaeli, is adamantly against his daughter marrying outside the faith. "He told me that if Leo doesn't convert to Judaism, there will be no marriage," a friend of the family told the New York Daily News last year.
RELATED: Star-worthy techie gifts for anyone on your Christmas list
Leo will be in good company if he chooses to take the plunge though. Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism before tying the knot with New York Observer publisher Jared Kushner, as did Marilyn Monroe for Arthur Miller, Kate Capshaw for Steven Spielberg and Elizabeth Banks for her sportswriter husband.
RELATED: Take a look back at 2010 in photos
So seriously, dude, what are you waiting for? Another devastatingly gorgeous woman like Bar to saunter into your life? Sure, there are loads of ladies who would love to date Leo, but how many would put up with the five-year-long breakup and makeup mishegas (that's Yiddish for "craziness for" all you goyim out there)? Giving up Christmas and bacon is a small price to pay.

'Madame Bovary': Telluride Review
The Bottom Line
Yet another adaptation of the classic novel that falls very short
Telluride Film Festival
Mia Wasikowska, Rhys Ifans, Ezra Miller, Logan Marshall-Green, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Laura Carmichael, Olivier Gourmet, Paul Giamatti
Sophie Barthes
Mia Wasikowska stars in the latest adaptation of the classic French novel
Emma Bovary dies in the end, of course, but in this new film version she never even comes to life. Tedious, literal-minded and throwing no new light on Gustave Flaubert's oft-filmed 1857 novel about a young provincial woman's boredom, adulteries and extravagant spending, Sophie Barthes' English-language, French-made adaptation has the ever-watchable Mia Wasikowska but very little else going for it, artistically or commercially.
Although Madame Bovary is firmly ensconced in the pantheon of Western literature's greatest works, there's clearly something about it that resists satisfying adaptation to the screen, as it has defeated even such imposing talents as Jean Renoir, Vincente Minnelli and Claude Chabrol, not to mention the half-dozen other directors who have taken up the challenge over the decades.
Barthes, whose promising previous feature, Cold Souls, debuted at Sundance in 2009, does nothing to alter this history of frustrated attempts to crack the Flaubert code. Severely tightening the novel's time frame from several years down to what feels like a few months, eliminating her daughter and any number of other incidents, the director and her co-screenwriter Felipe Marino take a resolutely academic approach to their task, underlining whenever they can the feminist content that's already more than evident in the text but providing no new insights into the central character's motivations (passion, in reaction to a dull marriage), cultural and social aspirations (upwardly mobile, toward a large city, away from a village) and attitude toward money (heedless).
Once Emma is married off to small-town doctor Charles Bovary (Henry Lloyd-Hughes) and is unexcitingly initiated into obligatory sex in a creaky bed in her husband's dark and uninviting house, it doesn't take her long to begin ringing up large debts with local decorator and furnishings proprietor M. Lheureux (a brash Rhys Ifans) as she goes about lavishly brightening up the place.
It takes her only slightly longer to dare to embark upon a passionate affair with a dashing marquis (Logan Marshall-Green) and, upon rejection by him, with a very young and attentive clerk of more modest means, Leon (Ezra Miller).
The amorous and financial merde all hits the fan simultaneously, which leaves no doubt as to Flaubert's ultimate point about the extremely limited options available to women in 19th century French society.
Unfortunately, Barthes brings nothing new to the familiar story. What she does bring, along with cinematographer Andrij Parekh, is a dreary naturalistic palette; a nonhomogeneous group of actors hopelessly split along American-, British- and French-accented lines; familiar observations about class and society divisions; and a decidedly unpersuasive rendition of a hunting sequence.
All this gives the amply talented Wasikowska less than a fighting chance to emerge from the debris with a convincing interpretation of one of the defining female figures of literature. Her pale face gives her the gift of being able to look both beautiful and plain — the better to read much into her slightest expression — but the director doesn't realize that; the more she makes her leading lady emote heavily, the less distinctive and unlike other actresses she becomes. Underplaying is Wasikowska's greatest strength, so the more the histrionics build toward the end, the less one engages with her.

The Next Financial Crisis?
WASHINGTON -- A central economic question of our time is whether the policies undertaken to recover from the last financial crisis are laying the groundwork for the next. We now have two reports from reputable groups suggesting just that.

Government -- Back to the 1930s?
WASHINGTON -- A recent Congressional Budget Office report -- "The 2015 Long-Term Budget Outlook" -- reminds us that the federal government is slowly becoming an agency for taking care of the elderly. Almost everything else is being crowded out. We ignored that during the Obama presidency, and now it seems that the fledgling presidential campaign...Read more
The CEO Backlash
"Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers."

WASHINGTON -- It seems inevitable that the unfolding presidential campaign will also become a referendum on American capitalism and, in turn, that capitalism will be defined in part by lofty executive pay. This makes CEOs among capitalism's worst advocates. ...Read more
The Retreat of 'Peak Oil'
WASHINGTON -- The recent meeting of OPEC provides an opportunity to understand the mysteries of the global oil market. As expected, OPEC decided not to cut its oil production. Barring unanticipated developments, prices will drop, says oil analyst Larry Goldstein. Potential oil supply, including drawdowns from bloated inventories, exceeds demand....Read more
Is China's Hacking a Blessing in Disguise?
WASHINGTON -- The latest hacking of U.S. government data files, capturing personal information on about 4 million past and present government workers, has predictably stirred outrage. The allegation that the hacking came from China (no published evidence either confirms or refutes this widespread belief) has compounded the anger. We are incensed...Read more
The Plight of the NEETs
WASHINGTON -- Among the economic and social trends worth worrying about is the fate of the NEETs. Never heard of the NEETs? I hadn't either. It's one of those clumsy terms concocted by government bureaucrats and social scientists to designate a group, social condition or political problem -- and then to make it obscure by wrapping it in jargon. ...Read more
The Fed: Welfare for the Wealthy?
WASHINGTON -- Was the Federal Reserve's massive bond-buying program an engine of economic inequality? It's easy to think so. The Fed bought more than $3 trillion of U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage bonds to prop up financial markets. The idea was that investors who sold to the Fed would reinvest their cash, raising stock and bond prices. ...Read more
The Tentative Economy
WASHINGTON -- The American economy continues to stumble. It's creating jobs at a goodly clip, but other aspects of growth are less impressive. Business investment has been lackluster.

The Job Recovery's Big Surprise
WASHINGTON -- Guess what? This isn't a low-wage job recovery. Listen to the media, and you might think that the only kind of jobs being created are in fast-food restaurants and retail chains.

The Next Smoot-Hawley?
WASHINGTON -- This is no time to get all worked up over China's currency manipulation. To use it as an excuse to resist the Obama administration's pro-trade posture is perverse.

A Trade Watershed?
WASHINGTON -- The trouble with our trade debates is that people assume that they're only about economics. Since World War II, U.S. trade policy has also been a pillar of U.S. foreign policy. In the early postwar decades, America encouraged trade with Europe and Japan -- allowing more of their exports into the United States -- as a way of ...Read more
China's Science 'Leap Forward'
WASHINGTON -- No country can be a global power without an engineering and scientific base.

China's rise to power once ...Read more
The GOP's Death Trap
WASHINGTON -- Maybe congressional Republicans really are nuts, suicidal or both. The latest evidence is House approval of legislation abolishing the estate tax, sometimes called the "death tax."

Debating Generational Justice

'John Carter' Will Cost Disney $200 Million in Operating Losses
As a result of the catastrophic performance of the Mars-set action film, the studio should lose as much as $120 million in the quarter.
John Carter is officially a money-wasting debacle, and to a degree that exceeds most of Wall Street's predictions.
Disney announced Monday its intentions to write down $200 million as a result of the box-office dud about a Civil War-era soldier who finds himself inexplicably transported to the planet Mars and having to battle a variety of space aliens.
PHOTOS: 'John Carter' Premiere Red Carpet Arrivals
Analysts have known since John Carter's $30 million domestic opening weekend that the movie, with a production budget of $275 million and another $100 million spent on marketing, would cause a large write-down for Disney, though most estimates were about $150 million, with at least one as high as $165 million.
As a result of the hefty $200 million charge, during the period ending March 31 -- Disney's second fiscal quarter -- the studio segment will post a loss of $80 million-$120 million, the company said. During the same quarter a year ago, Disney reported operating profit of $77 million.
John Carter makes it four consecutive years that Disney has had to take a large write-down because of a poor performing movie, following Mars Needs Moms, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
As far as the blame-game goes, the fact that studio write-downs have not been uncommon of late should work in the favor of chairman Rich Ross, who took the helm of the studio only two-and-a-half years ago, after John Carter had already been greenlighted by his predecessor, Dick Cook.
Besides Ross and Cook, former marketing chief MT Carney, who left Disney three months ago, also bears responsibility for the financial havoc wrought by John Carter, as does Andrew Stanton, the film's director who, up until now, had a stellar reputation as the moviemaking genius behind Pixar hits WALL-E and Finding Nemo.
"In light of the theatrical performance of John Carter ($184 million global box office), we expect the film to generate an operating loss of approximately $200 million during our second fiscal quarter ending March 31," Disney said Monday. " As a result, our current expectation is that the studio segment will have an operating loss of between $80 [million] and $120 million for the second quarter."
Said Wunderlich Securities analyst Matthew Harrigan in a first reaction: "The writing was pretty much on the wall as international was off a good bit this weekend. That was the only saving grace on opening weekend."
He had expected a $150 million-plus loss after the second box-office weekend and previously estimated that the studio would be slightly profitable in the current quarter.
Miller Tabak analyst David Joyce also said that the financial hit was "a bit worse than we expected."
He had taken his studio entertainment operating loss estimate for the current quarter to $37 million before the company's guidance Monday afternoon.
"At this new guidance midpoint, that might only hit our quarterly earnings per share estimate by about an incremental 2 cents," Joyce said.
Evercore Partners analyst Alan Gould said in an interview: "I think my $165 million loss estimate, which was probably the most negative on the Street, underestimated the amount of P&A the company eventually spent. I am a bit surprised, though, that the division will post an $80 million-$120 million loss for the quarter. Taking the midpoint, I would have anticipated the rest of the studio business to have generated more than a $100 million profit."
Disney's statement, released Monday after the closing bell on Wall Street, wasn't entirely dire: It did express confidence in the studio's May and June releases.
"As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the upcoming releases of The Avengers and Brave, which we believe have tremendous potential to drive value for the studio and the rest of the company."
Disney shares rose 25 cents on Monday to $43.44 and were down 1 percent during the after-hours session.
