Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (
recently reported third quarter 2012 adjusted loss per share of
10 cents, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of loss of 3
cents per share. Dismal performance of the 278 restaurants
acquired from Burger King on May 30, 2012, coupled with
integration costs affected the results.
However, on GAAP basis, the company reported a loss of 29 cents,
which includes after-tax charges of 14 cents per share related to
integration costs and legal expenses as well as a tax expense
charge of 6 cents for a valuation allowance against certain
deferred tax assets, compared with earnings of 2 cents in the
year-ago quarter.
Restaurant sales surged 87.1% year over year to $169.5 million,
aided by the acquired restaurants. However, total revenue lagged
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $177 million.
Quarter Highlights
Comparable restaurant sales at legacy restaurants jumped 6.2%,
aided by increased traffic of 3.6% and average check of 2.6%, as
well as a price increase benefit of 1.9%. This marks the fifth
consecutive quarter of positive comps.
In the reported quarter, cost of sales grew 240 bps to 32.1%,
attributed to higher commodity costs and discounting. General and
administrative expenses spiked 49.5% year over year to $9.3
million including the acquisition expenses related to Burger King
Restaurants, increased field costs for the acquired restaurants
and legal charges related to litigation. As a percentage of
sales, general and administrative expenses spiked 20 bps to 5.5%.
Adjusted EBITDA, slipped 15.5% to $7.1 million in the quarter
compared to $8.4 million in the prior-year, and adjusted EBITDA
margin slipped 500 basis points (bps) to 4.2%.The drop in EBITDA
margin was attributed to poor performance of the acquired
restaurants and higher general and administrative expenses,
partially offset by the favorable performance of legacy
Store update
During the quarter, two restaurants were closed. As of September
30, 2012, Carrols owned and operated 572 Burger King Units versus
302 in the prior-year quarter.
For full year 2012, based on the strength in its legacy business,
management raised its same-store sales outlook for the legacy
restaurants to 6%-7% from the prior range of 4%-6%. The
company expects commodity expenses to continue increasing in the
range of 3-4%. Capital expenditure is anticipated to be in the
range of $38 million to $42 million, which includes $24-$26
million for remodeling more than 80 restaurants.
Our Take
Despite the robust performance of the company's legacy business,
the acquisition of the 280 restaurants has weakened Carrols'
position. However, over time, Carrols, the largest franchisee of
Burger King, anticipates performance at acquired restaurants to
improve aided by better operations and effective cost management.
To drive sales, the company is also aggressively pursuing the
refurbishment of its restaurants and targets to remodel 80
restaurants in 2012.
However, fierce discounting wars among restaurant operators,
lower consumer confidence and higher input costs remain areas of
Carrols, which competes with
Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (
, currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a
short-term 'Hold' rating. We are maintaining our long-term
'Outperform' recommendation on the stock.

Dusautoir lifts lid on France's World Cup campaign
ESPN Staff
July 18, 2012

France captain Thierry Dusautoir has recalled what he perceived as a lack of respect for his side in the build up to last year's Rugby World Cup final showdown with the All Blacks.
Tournament hosts New Zealand claimed the sport's biggest prize with a narrow 8-7 victory over a battling French side riled by "disparaging" reports in the build-up to the game.
France had appeared to be on the brink of imploding earlier in the tournament following defeats to New Zealand and Tonga and reports of in-fighting but they rallied in the face of growing belief that the All Blacks were destined to win the World Cup for the first time since 1987.
"We didn't know what the New Zealand players thought about us but around them we certainly weren't respected," Dusautoir told Total Rugby who capped a superb tournament with the IRB Player of the Year award.
Dusautoir admitted the All Blacks were a class apart for most of the World Cup but his side were not about to concede defeat. "Our strategy in that match was to resist as long as possible. Having seen the way we were playing throughout the tournament we were aware that we were not at the same level as the All Blacks. That was pretty obvious. But by this time we were sure we were mentally prepared and we were ready to make the most of the opportunity."
The 30-year-old believes France's uncomplicated game plan surprised the All Blacks and almost led to the biggest upset in World Cup Final history. "During the match we played well but we would have liked to have scored a drop goal on top of the great defence we produced. But we played an uncomplicated game and that is ultimately how we managed to surprise them so much."
Dusautoir also talked about the New Zealand media coverage and one headline in particular that appeared to get lost in translation. "It was a memorable time. We were under huge pressure. In the week before the final there were many disparaging newspaper articles written about us.
"Even though most of the team was not bilingual we understood some of the words, some of the play on words. I remember that after the semi-final there was a picture in the Herald where it was written '80 minutes before laughing'. That annoyed us."
The New Zealand Herald reports that the headlines in question was run before the All Blacks' semi-final with Australia and featured an image of Sonny Bill Williams and Israel Dagg enjoying a laugh during the training.

Great LocationPosted Oct 21, 2013 on Hotels.com
The hotel was great for a business trip for my engineers and myself. We arrived late in the evening and we were welcomed without any issues. The rooms are clean and functional and surrounding steak house was well received by the team. Not sure if this is an ideal location for a romantic weekend away but for my team to stay in for the 4 days it was perfect.

Clean, covenient and comfortablePosted Nov 19, 2012 on Hotels.com
Very clean, comfortable room and beds. Price was very good. Friendly staff who spoke English to us mono-lingual Brits! Close to motorway and various commercial premises such as hypermarket, shops and places to eat. Food at the hotel for evening meal and breakfast was very good and although was extra, was reasonably priced. Not the most idyllic location with slight noise from traffic nearby but very convenient and just what was needed before going onto Belgium the next day. Would certainly use again if down that way.

A new report from Politico may spell trouble for grassroots conservatives.
KTTH host Ben Shapiro welcomed Politico reporter Ken Vogel Monday to talk about a new report that shows that the political consultants who reaped hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get Mitt Romney elected in 2012 are back.
And, they're richer and cementing strong relationships with top conservative politicians.
"It has created this privatized brain trust, this permanent political class of folks who no matter [which candidate] wins or loses, they really remain with a great deal of power and a great deal of money."
Vogel's reporting shows that through January this year, the top Republican political consulting firms have already earned $19.6 million for campaign work. These were the same firms – ten in total, including Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS – that earned $1 billion consulting for Romney in 2012. The same firms, Shapiro said, that people felt shoved Romney down conservatives' throats.
These firms, disconnected from the grassroots efforts of Tea Party voters and organizers, will likely handle important Senate elections this year, and may be in a position to run Republican presidential campaigns in 2016.
"They're just like the vultures from 'The Jungle Book,'" Shapiro observed. Shapiro said that it appears the current Republican strategy is less grassroots and more top-down, as opposed to Democrats, who use targeted appeals to motivate voters.
Vogel agreed, and said that many of the richest Republican donors are not asking questions about where their money is being spent. Some Republican donors are demanding more accountability from consultants, Vogel said, but the trends of 2012 are "still lingering."
"Unlike the left where the donors get involved in almost a micromanaging basis, the Republican donors, though they have ties to these consultants, they end up writing the check and then leaving well enough alone," Vogel said.
Ultimately, Shapiro said, these kinds of practices simply widen the gap between Washington and Tea Party voters across the country.
"This perpetuates the gap between the Tea Party and the so-called Republican establishment," Shapiro said.

Google+ Profile Latest News South African Jewish Leaders to File Charges Against 'Eye for an Eye' Author The South African Jewish Board of Deputies, the umbrella organization that leads that country's Jewish community, has announced that it is filing charges at the South African Human Rights Commission against trade union leader Tony Ehrenreich for an anti-Israel Facebook post that called for attacks against Jews in retaliation for the death of Palestinians in Gaza--"an Eye for an Eye against Zionist aggression," in his words. Aug 14, 2014 6:20 AM PT South African Union Leader Calls for Attacks on Jews 'Everywhere' A leader of South Africa's most powerful trade union has called for attacks on Jews in response to the war in Gaza. In a posting on his personal Facebook page Wednesday, Tony Ehrenreich, the leader of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) in the Western Cape province, called for "an Eye for an Eye against Zionist aggression" and warned that "if a woman or child is killed in Gaza," then Jews who support Israel must face an equivalent fate. Aug 14, 2014 12:26 AM PT 'Secure America Now' Drops 'Daisy 2' Attack Ad on Obama Secure America Now, a 501(c)4 nonprofit focusing on defense and foreign policy issues, is dropping a bomb on President Barack Obama--figuratively, anyway--as national security becomes an issue in the midterm elections. Its new ad, "Daisy 2," recreates Lyndon B. Johnson's original "Daisy" commercial, which showed a young girl being surprised by a thermonuclear explosion, and remains one of the most effective attack ads in U.S. history. Aug 13, 2014 10:23 AM PT Pelosi: No 'Boots on the Ground' to Stop Genocide in Iraq House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday that Democrats support President Barack Obama's new military intervention in Iraq to attack some forward positions of Islamic State forces, deliver arms to Kurdish peshmerga fighters, and provide humanitarian aid to Yazidis and Christians under siege and attack. However, Pelosi added that her party will not support "boots on the ground" in Iraq, even as Obama sent 130 new troops to aid several hundred U.S. soldiers already in the country to protect American diplomats. Aug 13, 2014 7:40 AM PT Catalina: Bacall's Island Paradise AVALON -- When I learned that Hollywood icon Lauren Bacall had passed away, I was on board the Catalina Express, pulling out of the harbor in Avalon with a boat full of nearly 400 vacationers and fellow day trippers. Aug 12, 2014 9:06 PM PT Dems' Padilla Wants to Turn Secretary of State into 'Redistricting Czar' State Sen. Alex Padilla, the Democratic Party nominee for Secretary of State, has proposed legislation that, if passed, will allow the Secretary to act as a "czar" over local redistricting plans, rejecting those deemed unfair to minority voters. Effectively, Padilla is imposing the kind of "pre-clearance" requirement the U.S. Supreme Court struck down in its recent ruling on the Civil Rights Act--and running to ensure that he wields that vast power. Aug 12, 2014 6:55 AM PT South Africa's Mbeki, Mugabe's Accomplice, Calls for Israel Boycott Former South African president Thabo Mbeki has joined his country's rabid anti-Israel chorus by calling for a boycott of Israeli goods, the BBC reports. Mbeki, who during his abortive tenure in office guarded Zimbabwean tyrant Robert Mugabe as he plundered his country into famine and murdered his political opponents, had frequently been a critic of Israel but had never before called for South Africa to cut off trade relations. Aug 12, 2014 6:30 AM PT The Media Are Buying Hillary's Foreign Policy B.S.--and Selling It to You Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton--the most senior foreign policy official in the United States, aside from President Barack Obama himself, for four years--is now attempting to differentiate herself from her old boss, now that his hapless leadership has become a liability to her presidential ambitions. And the media are buying it, then re-selling it to the public as if it represents an authentic split instead of opportunism and lies. Aug 11, 2014 4:10 AM PT Obama Wants a Weaker Israel Tucked towards the end of his otherwise vapid interview with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, President Barack Obama offers his own bizarre theory about what would bring about peace between Israelis and Palesitnians: namely, Israeli weakness. According to the president, if only Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were weaker than they are at present they might feel more inclined to make painful compromises: Aug 10, 2014 3:44 PM PT Obama's Interview with NYT's Friedman: An Essay in Impotence Two themes emerge from a morass of clichés and sophistry. The first is that the world is simply not worth engaging unless it agrees to behave itself: "no victor, no vanquished," says Obama. Second, America is its own worst enemy, and the political divisions at home threaten to become as disruptive as those in Iraq. (The Tea Party, Friedman chimes in, "accounts for at least half of [Obama's] gray hairs." Aug 10, 2014 8:14 AM PT Gaza Archbishop: Hamas Fired Rockets from Church, Shelter Archbishop Alexios, the Greek Orthodox Christian leader of Gaza, told CBN News on Wednesday that Hamas had used the church to fire rockets at Israeli civilians prior to the 72-hour ceasefire. The church was also being used at the time as a shelter for Palestinian civilians of all faiths who were fleeing the war's bombs and rockets. Aug 8, 2014 7:34 AM PT Hamas Bombards Israel, Rejects Ceasefire: 'Topple Hamas,' Says Minister The Hamas terror organization launched two rockets at Israel in the waning hours of the 72-hour ceasefire that began Tuesday morning. And though Israel was offering to extend the ceasefire, and Egypt was urging Hamas to agree to a 72-hour extension, Hamas returned emphatically to war on Friday, launching a barrage of rockets at Israel's southern cities, several of which were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. Aug 7, 2014 10:27 PM PT Analysis: Could Israel be Bombing Islamic State to Save Kurds? Israel may be attacking positions held by the terrorist Islamic State, or ISIS, militia. That is one possible conclusion after Kurdish sources reported Thursday that airstrikes had begun in northern Iraq, together with airlifts to help stranded civilians, while the U.S. denied any involvement. Israel has a long-standing, if largely covert, relationship with the Kurds of northern Iraq and recently gave official support to Kurdish independence. Aug 7, 2014 4:54 PM PT Blue State Blues: Why No 'Responsibility to Protect' Iraqi Christians & Yazidis? In 2011, President Barack Obama ordered U.S. forces--without congressional authorization--to assist NATO in a war against the Gadhafi regime in Libya. The reason for that urgent and extraordinary action was a theory of liberal interventionism called "Responsibility to Protect," eagerly promoted by then-National Security Adviser Samantha Power, who went on to chair Obama's Atrocities Prevention Board and is now the UN Ambassador. Aug 7, 2014 7:35 AM PT Forget High-Speed Rail--California Still Needs Low-Speed Rail The San Joaquin Train is a glorious conveyance. It runs straight through California's majestic Central Valley, which manages--even in this drought-stricken season--to burst with bounty, rows of corn alternating with vineyards and orchards.

Ten IDF soldiers were killed last night in Israel's ongoing operation to eradicate Hamas's terror infrastructure.
Four were hit by a mortar fired from Gaza and a further five were killed in a firefight with Hamas militants who emerged from a tunnel near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. The tenth died in a clash in southern Gaza.
Israeli international footballer Yossi Benayoun has called former teammate Joey Barton 'stupid' and 'embarrassing' over comments on the Gaza conflict.
Tweeting after a UN-run school was hit by an Israeli shell, Barton said: "This is not war. These are not combatants. They are just innocent children. This is ethnic cleansing".
Bulgarian authorities have announced that they have identified the suicide bomber responsible for the murder of five Israeli tourists in Burgas, Bulgaria, on July 18, 2012.
A monument that opponents say minimises Hungary's responsibility for the Holocaust was completed in the early hours of Sunday morning, despite months of protests from the Jewish community.
An 89-year-old suspected Nazi war criminal who was due to be extradited to stand trial in Germany has died.
Johann Breyer passed away on Tuesday night at a Philadelphia hospital, according to his lawyer Dennis Boyle said Wednesday.
Magistrate Timothy Rice had approved the extradition request only hours before.
Israeli officials are sceptical that an extended deadline for reaching a comprehensive agreement on Iran's nuclear programme will block its attempts to achieve a nuclear weapon.
Talks between Iran and the P5+1 world powers group broke up last Friday in Vienna having failed to reach an agreement. The deadline has been put back by four months.
The Israel Defence Force says it is investigating an attack on a United Nations school in the northern Gaza Strip which was being used as a shelter by civilians to escape the fighting.
Initial reports say that at least 15 people were killed when an Israeli tank shell hit the school in Beit Hanoun.
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters attacked the Jewish neighbourhood of Sarcelles, a suburb to the north of Paris, on Sunday, clashing with police who stopped them yards from a local synagogue.
The protesters burned cars, looted stores, set alight a pharmacy owned by Jews, and a kosher grocery shop. They threw firebombs, damaging a community building, and destroyed public property. .
The US Federal Aviation Authority has lifted its ban on all American flights to Israel.
The aviation body reversed its earlier decision to extend the ban for another 24 hours after intensive consultations with Israeli security officials.
I believe we are seeing the beginning of the end of Jewish history in Europe.
What makes the situation in Europe unique in history is the fact that Europe has become very intolerant of identities in a multicultural and post-nationalist environment.

Lacking TV Rooms were on small side
Beautiful view of the valley.
The curry dinner was nothing to write home about. Good breakfast though.
The people, the place, the beautiful scenery and surroundings
Hardraw Force was quite a let down to be honest. The approach...via a pub and £2.50....smacks of commercialism...don't get me wrong, i am all for saving our heritage...I am a member of the National Trust...but this force of Nature...just didn't cut it for me...it was way too 'give me your money' type scenario and far too touristy.
Brilliant location Well organised Beautiful views from the lounge windows
where it was. good facilities
it was all fine
Appealing helpulness. Forgot the plug adapter, they found one around for me. Clean and tidy.
easy atmosphere.
No TV
friendly,helpful staff. relaxed atmosphere.
I thought the staff were friendly and the self catering kitchen was fine. It was good for our group to be able to feel at home in that space.
The room was small and sad, the bunk bed cramped and old. The room needed some love and care and probably a bit of money spent on it. I thought it was overpriced, two men having to spend three nights in such a small drab space. I think it's a pity the YHA are not investing more when private hostels and bunk houses are offering better quality and pricing. The cooked breakfast was a disappointment, the produce so obviously cheap and unhealthy. Why not put sound damping on the doors, it was a pain trying to go to sleep hearing all the doors on the corridor banging shut, like being in an asylum. The whole place seems stuck in the 1970s, forlorn and tired and so was I when I left and had to drive the 300 miles home.
We loved the location and the views, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The meals were very good value, and tasty.
We managed with the bunk beds but would have preferred 2single beds.
Nice staff, good breakfast, clean rooms
Noise levels during night (paper-thin wall, loud pipe noise, heavy slamming doors), small room and narrow/short beds, having to make/unmake beds and share institutional-style bathroom (ie for money paid - £52 via booking.com)
the laid back staff and the freedom to come and go made it such a pleasant stay.
Nothing comes to mind
Good room and views, friendly staff
Drying facilities Great breakfast
Waiting until 5pm to book in.
The walm welcome and breakfast!
The fact I thought I had paid when I hadn't.
The location is superb - in a lovely little village with lots to do and see.
Rooms are a little cramped. If all beds would have been occupied, we'd have been tripping over each other's belongings.
The Pillows were very hard & uncomfortable.
This Youth Hostel was in a brilliant location. The view from our room was beautiful, even though it was raining! The room was comfortable enough and it was clean. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was good value for money.
The car park was small and already full when we got there. Luckily we found a spot in a car park not too far away. It would also be handy to have plug sockets at top bunk level so that you don't have to disturb the person below you if you want to charge your phone.
Excellent views, ensuite and power outlets in our double room, terriffic view from the room and good views elsewhere.
Very little; we loved this place! Excellent value at £42 for two people. However, if the staff are reading... The kitchen had tiny glasses for drinking, only one (small) toaster, and no tin opener was visible.
Staff very friendly hot water/warm room after cold wet day snacks and drinks available as alternative to going out location drying room safe cycle store
shoes didn't dry in drying room suggest fit hooks to walls of cycle store to ease congestion
The YHA in Hawes is exceptional and so many friendly people stayed at the same time as myself and sisters. The area is stunning and it a great place to stay if you walking the Pennine Way. My sisters and I use the YHA whenever we are able and will continue to do so. Thank you, your GREAT!
Everything was just fine and comfortable. Would have preferred an en suite room, but am aware that these aren't always avail in every YHA. The bathroom facilities were very close by in any case.

Barton Myers: Works of Architecture and Urbanism
September 12–December 12, 2014
With works as varied as a Vidal Sassoon Salon from 1968, the U.S. Expo Pavilion in Seville, Spain in 1992, and his steel houses, this exhibit will present an overview of almost fifty years of architecture. Barton Myers first attracted attention in the late 1960s for his civic buildings and urban projects in Canada. He returned to the United States in 1984 to open a Los Angeles office and became known for his performing arts centers, campus buildings, and steel houses among many projects.
The Barton Myers papers were donated to the Architecture and Design Collection of the AD&A Museum, UC Santa Barbara in 2000. The archive covers Myers's work from 1968 through 2002 and includes sketches and computer drawings, watercolors, images by well-known photographers, detailed study models and models of blocks-long sections of cities, as well as research notes, correspondence, lectures, and writings.

Jonah Goldberg: Wendy Davis and abortion's inconvenient truths
Working on that theory, The Weekly Standard's John McCormack caught up with Davis last August to ask her a few questions.
Davis answered with a non-answer: "You know, the Supreme Court of course has answered this decision, in terms of what our protections are." Blah blah blah.
Perhaps all of the rage abortion extremists aim at their opponents is cover for a deep insecurity — maybe psychological, definitely political — about the reality of what they are defending. Sen Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., once said that life begins "when you bring your baby home" from the hospital. That is not very far from Wendy Davis' position. But she doesn't want to say that — certainly not in Texas! Better to change the subject to the evils of her opponents and — hey — have you seen my sneakers?

A magical morning
Monday, March 26, 2012
This has been a magical morning. Chloe and I played outside before playschool today. We stood by the fence and waited patiently for the horses to wander over. Magic whinnied and Chloe chattered and cooed to her. She held out her hand with a treat and laughed infectiously as the little mare took it from her hand. One by one the horses came to greet her and with each treat fed, more giggles filled the air. They were as happy to see her as she was them. Her smile was from ear to ear. It was a morning full of joy and simple memories that she we will forever carry...little things that mean so much. In some ways it is a normal morning; in others far from it. I don't take for granted all that has happened to give me - and Chloe - these simple, treasured times. Today, however, I feel especially grateful. I have two broken ribs and a fractured sternum that tells me I am lucky to be alive. They are a reminder that life often changes in the blink of an eye and that cancer is not always the cause. Last Tuesday night, we were driving back from the airport as the sound of colliding metal and the jolt of impact transformed our peaceful trip home into a nightmare of change. The next few hours disappeared in a blur with paramedics, policemen and firemen working tirelessly to contain the accident scene and to help other injured passengers. I asked one of the paramedics if everyone would survive and his response chills me even now, "Accidents happen and people die every day; be thankful you are alive." I am thankful every minute of every day to be borrowing more time. Cancer is just one of the life changes that has given me the clarity to appreciate the things that we often take for granted. Family and friends, horsie whiskers, little heart-blown kisses, morning giggles, birds chirping and the sun shining are just some of the wonders I'm cherishing today. Tell me, what wonder will you cherish today? Suzanne

Who's going to be the world's 7 billionth person?
Mark your calendars for Oct. 31 and get the birthday candles ready. On that date — give or take a few days — the world's 7 billionth person will be born. Or at least that's what the U.N. Population Fund has been publicly predicting, and news outlets have been excitedly trumpeting the news. But how airtight is this sort of forecast likely to be?
Not very. There's so much wiggle room in demographic projections that this estimate could well be off by months — or even years. Other demographers have argued that we probably won't hit 7 billion in 2013, and possibly as late as 2019. It's a tricky field. One of the biggest problems is estimating the actual number of people who are currently on the planet — even the best-run census tends to undercount by a few percentage points. And there's a lot of haggling over how to adjust for these hidden people.
"Take China, the world's largest country. Raw census data suggest that the average woman has 1.2 children, but this hides a multitude of problems," reports Fred Pearce in the latest issue of New Scientist. "State demographers believe people are hiding tens of millions of babies to evade the one-child policy, and so estimate that the rate is 1.8. But Zhongwei Zhao of the Australian National University in Canberra says other figures in the 2010 census suggest the raw data may be nearer the truth. The UN currently plumps for 1.5 children per woman." A million kids here, a million kids there, and soon you're talking about real errors.
In any case, these arcane disputes are fascinating, but do they matter much? Actually, yes. Back in May, the U.N. announced that it was revising its long-term forecast. Instead of expecting the population to peak at 9 billion or so, the U.N. now expects the global population to pass 10.1 billion by 2100. Birth rates in places like Africa haven't been falling as expected. Another surprise: wealthier countries like the United States and Britain saw birth rates boom during the housing bubble (although they've fallen again recently). But it makes a big difference if we should expect 7 billion or 10 billion or 15 billion people.
For instance, a team of scientists in a recent issue of Nature looked at whether it was even possible to feed a fast-growing population without destroying the planet. The conclusion was yes, but barely. We'd need to stop farming in places like the rain forests, boost crop yields in places like Africa and Eastern Europe, stop wasting so much food (right now about one-third of all food grown gets spoiled or tossed) and—this is the one everyone always hates—eat less meat. It's a daunting task. And it becomes all the harder if the world's population grows even faster than we thought.

Well, it looks like a last-minute freelance gig fell into my lap this week, and I'm planning on heading up to Minneapolis this weekend to find an apartment (since, y'know, I'm moving up there in August) — so, it's highly unlikely I'll get the three updates I had hoped to do. Maybe next week…

The customers you see here are Bad Dad and Pumpkin, who first appeared in a bonus comic for the Chapter 1 eBook, although I've used them a number times since then. I've tweaked Pumpkin's character design a bit here to show that she's getting older. (I've actually made her taller gradually over the years, but this time, I've changed her model in more significant ways, like her hair and eyes.)
So! Those of you who saw X-Men: First Class, what did you think? Worth seeing? Was it another X-Men 2 or another X-Men: The Last Stand…?

Steering Clear of Fundraising Scams
(NAPSA) Thinking about donating to a charity? The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, recommends taking these precautions to ensure that your donations benefit the people and organizations you want to help.
- Don't be shy about asking who wants your money. Some charities hire professional fundraisers rather than use their own staff or volunteers, and then use a portion of the donations to pay the fundraiser's fees. If you're solicited for a donation, ask if the caller is a paid fundraiser, who they work for, and the percentage of your donation that will go to the charity and to the fundraiser. If you don't get a clear answer, or if you don't like the answer you get, consider donating to a different organization.
- Contact the office that regulates charitable organizations and solicitations in your state to see if the charity or fundraiser must be registered. If so, check to make sure that the company you're talking to is registered. For a list of state offices, visit the National Association of State Charity Officials. The office also can verify how much of your donation goes to the charity, and how much goes to fundraising and management expenses. You also can check out charities with the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance and GuideStar.
- Trust your gut. Callers may try to trick you by thanking you for a pledge you didn't make. If you don't remember making the donation or don't have a record of your pledge, resist the pressure to give.
- Be wary of charities that spring up overnight in connection with current events or natural disasters.
- Watch out for similar sounding names. Some phony charities use names that closely resemble those of respected, legitimate organizations.
- Be cautious of promises of guaranteed sweepstakes winnings in exchange for a contribution. According to U.S. law, you never have to make a donation to be eligible to win a sweepstakes.
- Be wary of charities offering to send a courier or overnight delivery service to collect your donation.
- Do not give cash donations. For security and tax record purposes, it's best to pay by check that is made payable to the charity, not the solicitor. If you're thinking about giving online, look for indicators that the site is secure, like a lock icon on the browser's status bar or a URL that begins "https:."

Listener Supported Public Media from Fordham University
Last February, an episode of Vin Scelsa's "Idiot's Delight"®, inspired by the late Pete Seeger, aired mostly online due to basketball. So since Vin is vacationing this week, he chose to resurrect that show for tonight, especially since a memorial concert for Pete and Toshi Seeger will take place at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park Bandshell on Sunday afternoon, July 20 with a lineup that includes Judy Collins, Peter Yarrow and Dar Williams and Dan Zanes.
"While my show isn't a Pete Seeger 'tribute' show by any stretch of the imagination," writes Vin, "Pete's spirit and influence hangs over, informs and inspires every moment of tonight's 'Idiot's Delight.' Pete was truly a giant cultural musical icon whose influence on several generations of Americans and people all over the world is immeasurable."
Vin Scelsa has "gone fishin'" on his yearly summer break, but he's left a trio of "Idiot's Delight"® episodes that only aired online (or were preempted) last winter. Looking back at a "lost" January show, Vin has a few thoughts on the film "Inside Llewyn Davis" and the true legacy of Dave Van Ronk (pictured far right with Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo) and his other Greenwich Village folk compadres, like Odetta and Fred Neil.
Tonight on Vin Scelsa's "Idiot's Delight,"® joined in progress following WFUV's broadcast of the Clearwater Festival, Vin pays homage to the great jazz singer Jimmy Scott who passed away earlier this week at the age of 88. Scott's delicately pitched, idiosyncratic alto, the result of a lifelong struggle with Kallmann syndrome, could crack even the hardest of hearts as he tenderly explored a ballad. After a short period of early success in the '50s, Scott's artistic genius as a vocal stylist went unrecognized for decades, until he was rediscovered by a new generation in the '90s. Jimmy Scott, who was a guest on "Idiot's Delight"® in the early '90s, had a long list of fans that included Ray Charles, Doc Pomus and Lou Reed. Said Reed of Scott: "He has the voice of an angel."
On this warm summer's day, Vin Scelsa has some old-time fiddle music on his mind. On tonight's "Idiot's Delight"® at 8, Vin rounds up classic selections from the Tennesee Chocolate Drops (pictured), the Johnson Boys and more. Also, new music from Good Luck Mountain, one of Vin's favorite local bands, and a Google Maps search for the actual New Orleans intersection used as the title of a new song by The Suitcase Junket.
Why does Montgomery Clift appear so perplexed in this still from 1948's "The Search?" Tonight on "Idiot's Deiight"® at 8, Vin Scelsa asks that very question. He also spins several tracks from The Far West's new album, Any Day Now, as well as freshly-released Kris Delmhorst and The Suitcase Junket. Expect classic Marvin Gaye, Townes Van Zandt and John Coltrane too. In a mere two hours, Vin will take listeners on a musical journey from the high seas to the high plains, from spaghetti-western Italy to the mountains of Mongolia, with a safe landing back home in New York.

Songs of Innocence and of Experience
A collection of poems by William Blake (1757 – 1827), illustrated with the poet's own etchings and published in 1789. In the work, Blake investigates, as he puts it in the subtitle, 'the two contrary states of the human soul'. Despite the simple rhythms and rhyming patterns, and the images of children, animals and flowers, the Songs are often troubling, argumentative or satirical, and reflect Blake's deeply held political beliefs and spiritual experience. Blake's vision embraces radical subjects such as poverty, child labour and abuse, the repressive nature of the state and church, as well as the right of children to be treated as individuals with their own desires. Many of the poems in Songs of Experience respond to counterparts in Songs of Innocence.
