J.D. Drew To Be Placed On DL; Jon Lester To Be Activated
July 24, 2011 7:47 PM
Dan Roche
Dan Roche is an award-winning sports anchor and reporter for WBZ-T...Read More
BOSTON (CBS) – The Red Sox will place right fielder J.D. Drew on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with an impingement in his left shoulder, sources told WBZ-TV's Dan Roche.
The move will make room for lefty Jon Lester to be activated off the DL for his start against Kansas City.
Drew is in the midst of his worst season with the Red Sox. He's hitting just .219 with 4 HRs and 21 RBI in 233 at bats.
Drew's replacement, Josh Reddick, has hit .358 with 4 HRs and 19 RBI in just 95 at bats.

Second EVP from morgue at Waverly Hills Sanatorium
This evp was captured in the morgue area during our recent trip to Waverly Hills with
Paranormal Underground. This EVP was captured with the new Sony PCM-M10 recorder
which was personally very exciting for me because prior to this investigation, it had
yielded no results. It is not uncommon for "hi-def" audio recorders to capture less evp.
I believe that the super high sample rates and a/d conversion simply makes most mistaken
evp on lesser recorders audible as regular, benign sounds that are easily explainable.
At any rate, I was getting bummed out because I had recorded almost 14 hours with the
m10 and not been graced with even one evp until Waverly.
This evp occurred when my wife, Nonie, was taking her turn laying in the morgue
freezer. Only other people on the floor at this time were members of the ETPRS. In the following
clip you will hear a distinctive whispery EVP voice say "oh hell" or possibly "go to hell".
After the evp you hear members of ETPRS questioning as if they heard it aloud. Recorded on PCM-
M10 at 48khz / 24bit resolution.
note: the only processing done to this file was approximatley 7db of amplification

Create a Page Peel Ad
It is one thing to create a page peel advertisement but it is quite something else to create as many peel ads as you want and be able to put them on virtually any website you want.
Watch this short video to find out how this AmaZing tool does that for you in seconds.
Free Peelaway Ads
In many ways peelaway ads are more powerful than a standard pop up ad. Whereas a pop up ad interferes with the webpage visitors browsing experience, often leading to the first action of your visitor being a negative one i.e. closing the pop up and never seeing it again, the corner peel away ad tempts your webpage visitor to take positive action when he or she decides they want to. Once the peelaway has revealed its message it returns back to it's dormant state, waiting for your visitor to return and click the link when they are ready and receptive, viewing the new page without being too eager to return to the information they were originally looking for.
Imagine then the power of putting your own peel away ad not just on your own website but on any webpage you want to.
There are many different ways to utilise the power of putting a peelaway ads on other peoples websites for example when social networking. Nodody likes friends on social networks who only promote their own webpages. Far better to have friends who find interesting stuff that is relevent to their own interests so supposing you have a lot of friends that are interested in health issues for example dieting. Your first step would be to affiliate yourself to somebody selling relevant products (go to clickbank to find these). Next find some information on the Internet that your friends would be interested in perhaps a free diet book or an article or even a dieting blog – the possibilities are endless – Then simply put a peelaway ad on the free, interesting and valuable information you are going to share with your friends and have that peelaway link back to the sales page you just affiliated yourself to.
The end result is that you become well known and well liked as someone who doesn't cram your posts with your own self serving links but instead provides valuable free information for your friends. What will happen to your posts? Your friends will share them with their friends who will do the same. That is the principle of what viral advertising is all about.
Forum marketing, Blog comment marketing, marketing through Yahoo Answers, these are just a few of the other places you can put the power of page peelaway ads to work for you, simply use variations of the above.

Who Knew I'd be a Bit of a YouTube Hit?Thursday, December 12th, 2013
Hi, it's Dr. Katz.
When I posted my first YouTube video explaining the ins and outs of a TheraBreath Bonus Pak Sale, I really didn't know if anyone would watch it. I had heard from Amy our customer service manager that some people were a little confused about how the sale worked. I have to agree — the Bonus Pak Sales Event can be a little confusing…but with savings of 60% or more it is definitely worth figuring out.
So the marketing guy and I whipped up a little video to help explain how much money you could save (to recap, it's a lot — over 60%!) and put it up for the world to see.
Well, it looks like people really did watch it. In the first two days, hundreds of people actually sat through 2 minutes of me talking about a sale on mouthwash! It didn't take too long for me to figure out that I have a lot of customers on YouTube and that this is a great way to educate them about all the great things I have learned about breath care over the years. While some of this medical stuff sounds complicated on paper, I've always been very good at explaining things simply to my patients. YouTube is a great way for me to talk to my on-line customers in that same way.
I spent the last few days shooting a series of short, informative videos on all sorts of oral care related questions that we will be putting on YouTube in the coming weeks. I will answer questions like 'what does it mean when my tongue is white?' , 'where does bad breath come from?' and the ever-popular 'do I really need to use a tongue-scraper?' (short answer to that last one is no… but you'll have to watch the video to find out why)
My first Q&A video called 'What is bad breath?' is available now at YouTube by watching here.
If you didn't get a chance to watch me talk about the Bonus Pak Sales Event, that video is here.

Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - Gorgui Dieng scored 23 points and Russ Smith added 19, as 10th-ranked Louisville rolled to a 79-61 win over Seton Hall.
Dieng made 10-of-11 shots and pulled down eight rebounds in the victory, while Smith hit only four field goal attempts but made each of his 10 free throws.
Luke Hancock connected on a trio of 3-point attempts and chipped in 13 points for the Cardinals (22-5, 10-4 Big East), who hadn't played since beating South Florida last Sunday and have now won three in a row. Louisville has fallen just once in its last seven games, with the lone loss occurring in a five overtime setback at Notre Dame two weeks ago.
Aaron Cosby scored 17 points and Eugene Teague added 16 for Seton Hall (13-15, 2-13), which has lost nine in a row and fell to 0-8 against ranked opponents this season.

A PC-based Virtual Reality System for facility layout design

|A PC-based proto-type VR layout system has been developed using the latest 3D real-time VR rendering graphics library, RenderWareTM. This proto-type will enable a designer to layout a design in 2D drawings and visualize it in 3D perspective at the same time. This feature allows an engineer to present a new facility layout to the end-users so that potential usability problems can be identified and corrected through a visual 'walk-through'. In a study concerning facility layout, Kew (1996) reported that involving users in the early stage of a design could avoid costly mistakes. The visual 'walk-through' would facilitate this early stage participation. Another feature of the program is the ability to combine multi-layer designs in one set of computer-generated 3D models. Without this, engineers are left to debug a multi-layer design in their minds. In this paper, the design and implementation of the proto-type program are discussed with case illustrations.

Buzz: The Rangers Have Called Several Teams About Marian Gaborik
In a chat at ESPN.com, Pierre LeBrun says that the Rangers are trying to move Marian Gaborik and they have called several teams to talk about a trade.
LeBrun says that the Rangers have not yet found a taker on Gaborik.
Last night, Darren Dreger said that multiple teams had called the Rangers to gauge a price on Gaborik.
Katie Strang wonders if the Sharks would do a trade of Boyle for Gaborik and thinks that it would be a good deal for the Rangers.
Scott Burnside added, "Pretty sure the Sharks are at their limit for overpaid, underachieving forwards aren't they?"
In response, Strang said "Haha good point Scotty. Although he is coming off a 41-goal season. That's the funny thing about Gaborik. For as much heat as he takes, his numbers aren't bad. Just goes completely invisible at times. Such a streaky player"
LeBrun said that Sharks likely won't want Gaborik's cap hit of $7.5 million on their cap next season.
THIS SECTION is about the Gaborik rumors.

Hurtful headlines. Prurient paparazzi. Fickle fans. Enough already! Jodie Foster defends a kid actor's right to be a kid.
We've all seen the headlines at the check-out counter. "Kristen Stewart Caught." We've all thumbed the glossy pages here and there. "Kris and Rob a couple?" We all catch the snaps. "I like that dress. I hate the hair. Cute couple. Bad shoes." There's no guilt in acknowledging the human interest in public linens. It's as old as the hills. Lift up beautiful young people like gods and then pull them down to earth to gaze at their seams. See, they're just like us. But we seldom consider the childhoods we unknowingly destroy in the process.
I have been an actress since I was 3 years old, 46 years to date. I have no memories of a childhood outside the public eye. I am told people look to me as a success story. Often complete strangers approach me and ask, How have you stayed so normal, so well-adjusted, so private? I usually lie and say, "Just boring I guess." The truth is, like some curious radioactive mutant, I have invented my own gothic survival tools. I have fashioned rules to control the glaring eyes. Maybe I've organized my career choices to allow myself (and the ones I truly love) maximum personal dignity. And, yes, I have neurotically adapted to the gladiator sport of celebrity culture, the cruelty of a life lived as a moving target. In my era, through discipline and force of will, you could still manage to reach for a star-powered career and have the authenticity of a private life. Sure, you'd have to lose your spontaneity in the elaborate architecture. You'd have to learn to submerge beneath the foul air and breathe through a straw. But at least you could stand up and say, I will not willfully participate in my own exploitation. Not anymore. If I were a young actor or actress starting my career today in the new era of social media and its sanctioned hunting season, would I survive? Would I drown myself in drugs, sex, and parties? Would I be lost?
I've said it before and I will say it again: if I were a young actor today I would quit before I started. If I had to grow up in this media culture, I don't think I could survive it emotionally. I would only hope that someone who loved me, really loved me, would put their arm around me and lead me away to safety. Sarah Tobias would never have danced before her rapists in The Accused. Clarice would never have shared the awful screaming of the lambs to Dr. Lecter. Another actress might surely have taken my place, opened her soul to create those characters, surrendered her vulnerabilities. But would she have survived the paparazzi peering into her windows, the online harassment, the public humiliations, without overdosing in a hotel room or sticking her face with needles until she became unrecognizable even to herself?
Acting is all about communicating vulnerability, allowing the truth inside yourself to shine through regardless of whether it looks foolish or shameful. To open and give yourself completely. It is an act of freedom, love, connection. Actors long to be known in the deepest way for their subtleties of character, for their imperfections, their complexities, their instincts, their willingness to fall. The more fearless you are, the more truthful the performance. How can you do that if you know you will be personally judged, skewered, betrayed? If you're smart, you learn to willfully disassociate, to compartmentalize. Putting your emotions into a safety box definitely comes in handy when the public throws stones. The point is to survive, intact or not, whatever the emotional cost. Actors who become celebrities are supposed to be grateful for the public interest. After all, they're getting paid. Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone's privacy, to destroy someone's sense of self.
In 2001 I spent 5 months with Kristen Stewart on the set of Panic Room mostly holed up in a space the size of a Manhattan closet. We talked and laughed for hours, sharing spontaneous mysteries and venting our boredom. I grew to love that kid. She turned 11 during our shoot and on her birthday I organized a mariachi band to serenade her at the taco bar while she blew out her candles. She begrudgingly danced around a sombrero with me but soon rushed off to a basketball game with the grip and electric departments. Her mother and I watched her jump around after the ball, hooting with every team basket. "She doesn't want to be an actor when she grows up, does she?" I asked. Her mom sighed. "Yes … unfortunately." We both smiled and shrugged with an ambivalence born from experience. "Can't you talk her out of it?" I offered. "Oh, I've tried. She loves it. She just loves it." More sighs. We watched her run around the court for a while, both of us silent, each thinking our own thoughts. I was pregnant at the time and found myself daydreaming of the child I might have soon. Would she be just like Kristen? All that beautiful talent and fearlessness … would she jump and dunk and make me so proud?
There's this image I have of a perfect moment. It comes to me as a square format 8mm home movie with '70s oversaturated reds and blues, no sound, just a scratchy loop … there's a little white-haired girl twirling in the surf. She's singing at the top of her lungs, jumping and spinning around in the cold water, all salty, sandy, full of joy and confidence. She's unconscious of the camera, of course, in her own world. The camera shakes a little. Perhaps her mom's laughing behind the lens. Could a child be more loved than in this moment? She's perfect. She is absolutely perfect.
Cut to: Today … A beautiful young woman strides down the sidewalk alone, head down, hands drawn into fists. She's walking fast, darting around huge men with black cameras thrusting at her mouth and chest. "Kristen, how do you feel?" "Smile Kris!" "Hey, hey, did you get her?" "I got her. I got her!" The young woman doesn't cry. Fuck no. She doesn't look up. She's learned. She keeps her head down, her shades on, fists in her pockets. Don't speak. Don't look. Don't cry.
My mother had a saying that she doled out after every small injustice, every heartbreak, every moment of abject suffering. "This too shall pass." God, I hated that phrase. It always seemed so banal and out of touch, like she was telling me my pain was irrelevant. Now it just seems quaint, but oddly true … Eventually this all passes. The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And, yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind. You trust less. You calculate your steps. You survive. Hopefully in the process you don't lose your ability to throw your arms in the air again and spin in wild abandon. That is the ultimate F.U. and—finally—the most beautiful survival tool of all. Don't let them take that away from you.

The 'Flightplan' star is also set to executive produce the 'Sopranos'-like show, which centers on a 'lethal woman who runs a family-based crime syndicate.'
Jodie Foster is going to lend her directing skill to new Showtime drama. The two-time Academy Award winner for Best Actress is attached to direct and executive produce a mob series "Angie's Body" for the premium cable channel.
Described as a "Sopranos"-like drama, the show revolves around "a shrewd, sexy and, when necessary, lethal woman who runs a family-based crime syndicate," Deadline reports. "Heroes" and "Jericho" scribe Rob Fresco provides the script and will serve as executive producer alongside Foster and Russ Krasnoff.
Foster and Showtime previously teamed up for 1998's TV movie "The Baby Dance" in which she took the producing role. The "Silence of the Lambs" actress' latest directorial stint was 2011's "The Beaver" starring Mel Gibson. She will next grace the big screen through Neill Blomkamp's "Elysium".
News of the "Angie's Body" development comes as Showtime recently announced the cancellation of female-centric show "The Big C". The Laura Linney-starring drama comedy series will return for a very short fourth and final season in 2013. Mary-Louise Parker' "Weeds" will also air its last episode later this year.

X17online.com caught Jodie while she was out and about on Friday afternoon (2012/11/08). She actually was photographed smiling which we all know is rare while she is facing papparazzi. I reckon she didnt actually recognized them. 😉
A nice little interview I found on youtube lately. Jodie enjoys it to be part of this group. What you think?
Jodie Foster is looking to cable TV as a future site for her Oscar-winning talent, joining other big-screen stars who are finding pay TV can pay off.
The 49-year-old actress and director says she is "developing a few things" likely destined for cable, calling the format "a good outlet for what I do."
"I think I may spend some time on cable," Foster said at July's Comic-Con, where she was promoting her next big-screen role: Starring opposite Matt Damon in "Elysium," writer-director Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to his hit Oscar-nominated debut, "District 9."
Due next March, "Elysium" is set 150 years in the future in a world where Earth is polluted, diseased and overpopulated, so the wealthiest citizens create a utopic habitat in space.
Foster wanted to work with Blomkamp after seeing "District 9," which she called "a perfect film … the movie I wish I would have directed."
Foster said she intends to direct again, but hasn't found her next project. Her directorial credits include 1991's "Little Man Tate," 1995's "Home for the Holidays" and last year's "The Beaver."
"It's a long process," she said. "Because I do make personal films, they're hard to get off the ground, especially nowadays."
That's why cable might be her next stop, as it has been of late for such big-screen staples as Nicole Kidman, Kevin Costner and Julianne Moore.
"I think it's a good outlet for what I do," Foster said. "What I do are personal stories and, in some ways, usually involve family and they have equal amounts of comedy and drama, sometimes an absurdist twist, and they're very verbal. And I like constructing complex characters and hopefully seeing this sort of tapestry of how they interact with each other over time evolve. Well, TV's the place for that."
So would the two-time Oscar winner helm a series?
"Maybe," she said with a smile. "You never know."

Jodie Foster has reportedly said she will be there for Kristen Stewart if she wants to "cry her heart out".
The Hollywood actress has reportedly made contact with the 22-year-old star to offer her a refuge from the criticism she has come up against since her affair with married director Rupert Sanders became public news.
While Jodie does not agree with Kristen's actions – both in hurting her partner Robert Pattinson and for the effect it's had on Rupert's family – the 49-year-old star is a great believer in giving people second chances.
"Jodie told Kristen to take no notice of the media bashing and said if she wanted to cry her heart out to her she's always available," a source revealed to Radar Online. "Jodie loved Rob and is disappointed with Kristen for cheating on him. However, she knows at 22, she's still very young and unfortunately people make mistakes in life.
"She thinks Kristen will learn from this and will only grow into a more mature person because of it."
Jodie and Kristen formed a friendship when they co-starred alongside each other in 2002 film Panic Room. It is reported that Jodie made a bee line for Kristen when she discovered the world had found out about her affair.
"Jodie is a mother-like figure to her," the source added. "She certainly has no intention of turning her back on Kristen during such a difficult period in her life."
Jodie Foster shares screen time with Matt Damon in their new film Elysium — one scene to be exact, though she says she wanted more! We spoke to Jodie at Comic-Con today about working alongside Matt and her character, who she describes as "tough, French, and elegant." Take a look at our interview.

There are evidently representatives from most parts of Denmark among the approximately 40,000 Danish fans at last night's Madonna concert in the park.
But none of them has traveled as far away as world star Jodie Foster, who has also made a quick trip to the East of Copenhagen after the concert.
Several concert-goers said unanimously that the Hollywood actress was excitingly enjoying the concert like most others on the lawn near the front fence. There were no VIP status for Miss Foster, who enjoys herself among the ordinary spectators.
Jodie Foster is best known for her brilliant performance as Clarice Sterling in the legendary thriller Silence of the Lambs in 1991. But besides this wonderful performance, she has also starred in other Hollywood blockbusters as Panic Room, Inside Man and Contact.
Translated from Source: http://ekstrabladet.dk/
Jodie Foster at Comic-Con? Absolutely believe it. She and Matt Damon will be part of a panel that day for Elysium, Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to District 9, which launched its initial ad campaign at Comic-Con ("this restroom is for humans only") a year before actually showing footage there that really hyped things up. This is the biggest unknown quantity announced so far, the "we didn't even know to be excited about it yet" item that could end up being the big-buzz item a la 300 (or, ahem, Sucker Punch).
This news emerged today as Comic-Con continued its day-by-day rollout of what's in store this year, releasing its schedule for Friday July 13.
Elysium is surrounded on the Sony panel by Total Recall (they gave that a big push last year, and movies about to open seem less interesting to Con-goers) and Looper, which got a great reaction at Wondercon. Screen Gems' latest Resident Evil sequel, which shared space with Looper and The Amazing Spider-Man at Wondercon, gets a panel all to itself, featuring all the usual regulars from the movies plus Michelle Rodriguez, somehow returning despite being killed in the first film.
Though he spent a few years developing the high profile Halo film that never came to be, director Neill Blomkamp burst onto the film scene in a big way with his stellar 2009 sci-fi pic District 9. Not only did the film include some truly killer effects work, but it was actually about something and tackled social issues like segregation and xenophobia on a sci-fi platform. It's been three long years since District 9 opened, and fans are eagerly awaiting Blomkamp's follow-up, the futuristic thriller Elysium. Plot details have been firmly under wraps, but we know that it fits squarely into the sci-fi genre and stars Matt Damon, Jodi Foster, Wagner Moura, Sharlto Copley, William Fichtner and Diego Luna.
A full synopsis for Elysium has been brought to our attention, giving us a much better idea of what to expect. The film is apparently screening for preview audiences tonight and the ticket includes a fairly detailed logline for the pic. As with District 9, it appears that Elysium will also be dealing with grander issues than space guns and aliens. Hit the jump to read the synopsis. Elysium is slated to open on March 1st, 2013.
In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

How an Arts Degree Can Help You in the Real WorldJul 17 2012 at 11:21 am by Victor
"So… what are you going to do with it?"
Pretty common question, right? You probably get this question all the time if you're one of those poor, misguided young men and women going into the arts. When people ask this question, what they're really saying is:
"So… you realize teachers are out of work all over the place, right? And professors aren't doing much better… Do you plan to go back to McDonald's with fifty grand in debt?"
But is that sentiment even true?
Not entirely.
Sure, it's true that the world we live in nowadays values profit potential over creativity. Bow to the money god. Success is a six-figure salary. But all of that righteous yet ineffectual truth means nothing out there in world that is. As a student of the arts, surely you're aware of the fundamental distinction between what is, and what ought to be (Students, you can brush up on this distinction by picking up A Treatise of Human Nature.)We can argue all day long about what ought to be, but we do live in the world that is, and with that in mind, a true defense of the arts requires acknowledgment:
1. The arts alter you, turning you into an Argument Ninja.
As long as you can stomach your fear long enough to keep from becoming a conflict-avoidant introvert, the arts can teach you a great deal about winning arguments. After all, life is like one big fight.
The absolute best time to use your rhetorical skill against a practice dummy is anytime you've been pulled over by the local authorities. When they ask whether or not you're aware that you were doing over twice the speed limit, you will have the philosophical stones to simply reply that speed is relative, and that perhaps their perception of your speed may have been altered by all of that caffeine and sugar.
2. Art impresses people
These folks are arts majors, and this is what an academic hipster party might look like if it were seen through the lens of a stock photographer.
The fact is that hipster gals and guys absolutely love brains. It gets their thick-rimmed glasses a bit steamy. When you land that Bachelor of Arts, you essentially have a big certificate that says you know your way around an intellectual party. You know, the kind where everyone likes microbrews and wine and everyone takes each opportunity to talk about their own research and accomplishments, like peacocks showing their feathers.
3. The arts force you to think.
This may be the most important reason to study subjects like English, philosophy, sociology, and the rest. Unlike many disciplines that simply explain the rules of the game and then ask students to use those rules to continue playing the same game, many fields within the arts encourage a complete break with tradition and the individuality of interpretation. In turn, students may understand that politicians are not infallible and so bad laws are passed, that judges and police are fallible and so bad laws are enforced. And that's just one example.
This ability can be applied to more things in the real world that simple law. The ability to critically think about other life questions, such as:
- Should I eat four chicken nuggets or five? Would five be too many?
- Why do I hate Justin Beiber?
- What is my favorite animated sitcom?
It can mean the difference between life and death. Sure, this is the defense that most arts majors use, "We can think critically, like outside the box!", but it's a damned good one.
Thinking outside the pizza box. Where's the rest of it? Will we ever know? Can we ever know? A serious question demanding serious reflection.
4. Likely "successful" careers for arts majors.
Now the moment you've all been waiting for: a comprehensive list of the best occupations for graduates of each particular arts major:
English: Best-selling novelist (Teen Vampire Sparkle Hunger series)
Sociology: A waste of four years.
Psychology: Poker God/Goddess.
Film Studies: Webcam "Artist."
Philosophy: Lawyer.
With these helpful career guides serving as landmarks for your own program goals, you'll be unstoppable.

Magalang gets 2 school buildings from Australia-A A +A
Thursday, June 5, 2014
MAGALANG -- A public elementary school in this town on Wednesday received two new buildings from the Australian government.
In simple inaugural rites, the Australian government represented by Ambassador Bill Tweddell and Education Secretary Armin Luistro turned over the two newly school constructed buildings with four classrooms each to officials of the San Isidro Resettlement Elementary School here.
The buildings were built and funded by Australian Aid in the amount of P5.8-million each under the first phase of its classroom construction initiative.
The Philippines and Australia, according to Luistro, are strengthening their partnership geared towards improving the quality of basic education by providing Filipino schoolchildren with better and safer learning environments.
"The Australian Aid has been a partner of DepEd for almost two decades now in providing quality education services to Filipino children," said Luistro.
Gracing the turn over rites were First District Representative Joseller "Yeng" Guiao, First District Board Member Cherry Manalo, Mayors Romulo Pecson of Magalang, Rene Maglanque of Candaba, Emmanuel "Bon" Alejandrino of Arayat, Condralito Dela Cruz of Porac, DepEd Regional Director Isabelita Borres, Dr. Leonardo Zapanta, schools division superintendent, Division of Pampanga, and Evangeline S. Camiling, school principal, San Isidro Resettlement Elementary School.

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Point Forward Reports: Hawks agree to re-sign Kyle Korver to four-year deal by Ben Golliver Twitter Email Posted: Thu Jul. 4, 2013 Kyle Korver was among the NBA's best three-point shooters last season. (Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)The Hawks have agreed to re-sign free-agent forward Kyle Korver to a four-year, $24 million contract, according to ESPN.com and NBA.com.Korver, 32, averaged 10.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game for Atlanta last season after being traded from the Bulls in a salary dump. He started 60 games and played 2,259 minutes, the most he has logged in a season since 2007. He made good use of that time, finishing second in the NBA in three-point shooting at 45.7 percent. His 13.9 Player Efficiency Rating ranked slightly below league average, but his plus-2.7 plus/minus was the best among Atlanta's regular rotation players, even if his defensive abilities leave much to be desired.With new coach Mike Budenholzer coming to Atlanta from three-point-happy San Antonio, it's hardly a surprise that retaining Korver, by far the roster's most effective and proven outside shooter, was a top priority. Korver received interest from the Nets and Bucks, according to ESPN.com, but the Hawks' offer was reportedly the richest in total dollars, and it is a marked improvement on the three-year, $15 million deal he signed with the Bulls in 2010.For comparison's sake within this year's wing signings, this contract slots Korver above the likes of Chase Budinger ($16 million over three years), Tony Allen ($20 million over four years) and Martell Webster ($22 million over four years, although the last year isn't guaranteed), but below the likes of J.J. Redick ($27 million over four years) and Kevin Martin ($28 million over four years).The free-agent negotiating period opened on Monday. Contracts can't officially be signed until July 10.Grade: B. $6 million per year initially looks like a lot for a 32-year-old, one-dimensional wing. Two factors to consider when weighing the sticker price: Korver has missed just nine games total over the last three seasons and he's never relied on athleticism or raw physical tools to make his mark. He is, essentially, a shooter for hire, and a damn good one. Korver should age well and fit in nicely with Budenholzer's plan, which we can assume will borrow heavily from his time under Gregg Popovich. Atlanta has clean books and can easily afford this offer; its roster will be in a totally different place if and when age does catch up to Korver. The biggest lament here is that Korver didn't offer his marksmanship skills to a championship contender at a reduced rate. Promoted Stories Comments

Black Nativity
at the Paramount Theatre - Boston
Aloysuis Petruccelli
January, 28th 1927 - January, 24th 2015
Fondly known to us as Alpet, Petruccelli and the National Center of Afro-American Artists (NCAAA) shared four decades of history. When the Elma Lewis Playhouse-in-the-Park was launched in the mid-l960s, Elma Lewis brought Alpet aboard to manage technical production for all performing arts events. Later when the NCAAA began its annual series of Celebrate! extravaganzas, Alpet handled technical production for our huge theatrical presentations at the old Music Hall. Over his 38 years of Black Nativity, Alpet's genius has been a reliable backstage presence. As Production Manager for the NCAAA, he and Miss Lewis enjoyed working together solving innumerable problems, and demonstrating the power of imagination over the scarcity of money. No wonder we appreciate Alpet, and his enormous participation in the life to the NCAAA.
Although we like to think of Alpet as our own treasure, the fact is that he is universally known and loved in the Boston theater community and beyond. The range of his experience is breathtaking. Early in his career, he was Production Manager for Boris Goldovsky's opera company that criss-crossed the nation for a decade offering nightly shows. He then tried his luck with Joe Rothberg at Deco Films, before becoming Production Manager for the Miami Ballet and later for the Boston Ballet where he stayed for ten years. Along the way, he created his own company—Dream Merchants—which over the next thirty years managed local production for numerous professional touring dance and theater groups. Petruccelli has worked with such major figures as Alvin Ailey and Mark Morris, as well as such projects as the Celebrity Series and Forbidden Broadway.
The NCAAA, and especially the family of Black Nativity, are pleased to honor Aloysius Petruccelli for his brilliant contribution to our work and for his warm friendship over the years.

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Egypt's Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip will remain open on Friday for travelers in both directions, a Palestinian official said.
Crossings director Maher Abu Sabha told Ma'an the step comes as Egypt promises to provide more facilities to Gaza.
Abu Sabha said last week he expects the terminal to be open on Fridays, the weekend day it is usually shut, and its capacity to be expanded.
The crossing will be closed on Saturday due to Egypt's celebration of armed forces day.
The Gaza Strip is under an Israeli land and sea blockade, and Rafah, its sole border crossing not controlled by Israel, is the only one which opens regularly for passengers.

It's all about the women…
Michelle will be appearing on Radio 4's Woman's Hour programme with Jenni Murray on Friday 13th August. She will be discussing the impact of unemployment and we can really help people get back to work. Tune in at the start of the programme to hear her views.
Destined for the dole?
One of the subjects Michelle feels passionately about is helping the unemployed return to work, or gain first time employment. Lack of confidence and self esteem are issues Michelle helps people combat both with her 'Anything is Possible' seminars and her work with government, return to work agencies and her independent consultancy work.
Today, Michelle spoke to 22 regional news outlets about a new Prince's Trust report entitled 'Destined For The Dole' which outlines how one in five young people expect that they will end up on the dole. Often, this is because their parents and peer groups are on it. Michelle was also interviewed on Sky News by Dermot Murnaghan on the subject today. Read the full report, here.
Michelle's Top Story
Michelle's iVillage blog on Work & Money became their 'top story' for the second day running today. Entitled 'Going Large' it explains to readers how to grow their small business. With a monthly readership of 2 million unique readers, achieving top spot for two days running is no mean feat!

The Missouri State Highway Patrol has identified a motorist shot and killed by a trooper as a Nebraska resident.
The patrol said Wednesday that 50-year-old Thomas E. Schroeder, of Omaha, was the man who struggled with a trooper trying to make an arrest Monday evening in far northwest Missouri.
Patrol officials said Schroeder had several driver's licenses and other forms of identification.
Investigators said the trooper stopped a speeding car on Interstate 29 in Holt County and tried to arrest the driver, who appeared intoxicated. The patrol says the man went toward his vehicle and tried to drive away.
The trooper tried a spray to stop the man, who continued to resist. The patrol says during the struggle, the trooper fired his weapon and fatally shot the man.
An investigation continues.

Sakai Dōitsu, Mt Fuji and Pines, a hanging scroll painting
Late 19th century AD
Mt Fuji is the most famous and revered mountain in Japan. It is admired for its height, shape, and beauty, and has featured in Japanese poems and paintings since ancient times. It was a favourite theme of the Rimpa artists, who specialized in a stylized and richly decorative art. The father of Dōitsu (1845-1913), Yamamoto Sōdo, was a follower of the important Rimpa artist, Sakai Hōitsu (1761-1828).
The composition places the mountain to the left of a rectangular space, as was traditional. The peak is covered in snow, but the slopes beneath are given a rather colourful treatment using tarashi-komi - a technique unique to the Rimpa school where ink is dripped onto areas of still-wet paint to create a puddled effect. 'Dry brushwork' creates the illusion that the mountain is disappearing into the mists below, and the pines have stylized, mushroom-shaped foliage. These trees represent the pine groves of Miho-no-Matsubara, a celebrated spot from which to view Mt. Fuji.
The signature reads 'Uka Dōitsu', and the seal reads 'Dōitsu Uka'.

By Arcus Foundation
May 18, 2012
Stronger protections for the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) inmates of United States corrections facilities are included in anti-sexual violence standards that began taking effect across the US in May.
LGBT individuals are among more than 200,000 each year affected by sexual victimization in federal and state prisons, jails, and detention centers that are covered by the new Department of Justice 'National Standards to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape'.
"Sexual abuse in detention shatters hundreds of thousands of lives of men, women, and children every year," said Lovisa Stannow, Executive Director of Just Detention International, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that works to improve respect for human rights in US detention facilities. "We have fought long and hard for the...standards. They have the potential to cut prisoner rape dramatically."
The Standards -- which went into effect May 17, nine years after passage of the 2003 Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) and almost two years after the statutory deadline -- detail concrete steps that facilities must take to prevent and respond to sexual abuse.
They require that particularly vulnerable inmates -- such as LGBT individuals -- be housed safely and have access to trained experts for intervention and emotional support after an assault. They also spell out requirements for inmate education and staff training on sexual abuse prevention, including specialized training for investigative and medical staff.
Although the PREA standards do not apply explicitly to immigration detention facilities, President Barack Obama issued a memorandum May 17 stating: "PREA applies to all federal confinement facilities, including those operated by executive departments and agencies other than the Department of Justice."
State prisons in California and Oregon, as well as the Miami-Dade County jail, are among facilities across the country that started adopting draft versions of the standards some years ago.
While the standards do not curb female staff searches of male inmates -- in spite of a Department of Justice report showing widespread abuse by female staff of male prisoners -- the new rules remove a proposed 20-day time limit for victimized inmates to report an abuse, and they also require all facilities to be audited by independent assessors every three years.
"The standards have filled me with hope that no one will ever have to experience what I went through," said Frank Mendoza who was beaten and sexually assaulted by an official at the Los Angeles County Jail.
"Prisoner rape is not just a statistic for those of us who have lived through it -- it's a life-shattering experience. This violence has to stop," he said, speaking in video testimony presented online by Just Detention International.
Founded in 1980 by a prison rape survivor, Just Detention International was instrumental in developing and securing the passage of PREA and has since led the push for strong, binding standards.
The organization received funding from the Arcus Foundation in support of its leading role with a broad-based coalition to end sexual violence and homophobia in US prisons and jails.

The Big Idea:
Captains Courageous ('37)
The genesis of
Captains Courageous
came from famed British author Rudyard Kipling's 1897 novel of the same name. The story about a spoiled rich boy who finds redemption aboard a Gloucester fishing schooner was Kipling's only American novel, and MGM had been mulling over the idea of turning it into a major motion picture for several years. In 1934 MGM Production Head Irving Thalberg purchased the screen rights to the book for $25,000 and assigned producer Louis D. Lighton to put the project together. Victor Fleming, with whom Lighton had collaborated on the 1929 western
The Virginian
, was chosen to direct.
A total of three writers worked on adapting Kipling's book into a screenplay: John Lee Mahin, Marc Connelly, and Dale Van Every. The adaptation took a few liberties with the story and characters, including elevating the book's minor character of Manuel, the simple Portuguese fisherman, to a key player in the film. The writers also shaved a few years off of the character of Harvey, taking him from fifteen-years-old to twelve in order to accommodate MGM's choice actor for the role, Freddie Bartholomew.
Bartholomew was one of MGM's top child actors of the 1930s. Plucked from obscurity in Great Britain to star in MGM's big budget adaptation of
David Copperfield
in 1935, Bartholomew's remarkable talent and natural instincts as an actor made him an instant star. Following successful featured roles in
Anna Karenina
(1935) with Greta Garbo and
Little Lord Fauntleroy
(1936), Bartholomew was given top billing in
Captains Courageous
Most of the supporting cast for the film was chosen early in the pre-production process including Melvyn Douglas (borrowed from Columbia) as Harvey's wealthy father and Lionel Barrymore as the crusty Captain of the
We're Here
, Disko Troop. Bartholomew's contemporary, Mickey Rooney, was cast in a small role as Captain Troop's son Dan.
The most important casting choice would be for Manuel, the rugged but lovable Portuguese fisherman whose character is the heart of the film's story. Irving Thalberg wanted a less than obvious choice for the part: Spencer Tracy. The actor had come to MGM in 1935 at the end of a stint with Twentieth Century Fox, where stardom had eluded him. At MGM, Thalberg had known how to properly use the versatile actor, and Tracy quickly earned fame at his new studio in films such as
San Francisco
(both 1936).
As much faith as Tracy had in Thalberg's judgment, however, he initially resisted taking the assignment. Not only had he never worked with director Victor Fleming before, he also felt that playing Manuel might be too big of a stretch. "Fought against it like a steer," Tracy later said according to James Curtis' 2011 biography
Spencer Tracy
. "Thought the characterization would be phony. Didn't see how the pieces would fit together. Didn't know where I could borrow an accent." Tracy was uncomfortable affecting any accent, and he warned Fleming and Lighton that his Portuguese accent would probably be all over the place and less than authentic. Fleming and Lighton in turn assured him that a character like Manuel had spent years living among Gloucester seamen and would likely have picked up all sorts of language influences in his accent.
Additionally, Tracy was uncomfortable with the level of spiritual symbolism in Manuel. "I've always played rough-and-tumble parts," he said. "This story's religion or something. Those scenes where he talks about his father--suppose I don't bring 'em off? They'll be horrible--sitting there in the boat, talking about Fisherman's Heaven, a guy thirty-seven years old -- you'll have your audience reaching for bigger and wider hats."
Eventually, however, Tracy acquiesced and began preparing for the role. "I went to see every picture in town where an actor might be found speaking in an accent--saw Eddie Robinson, [Paul] Muni [in
Black Fury
, 1935], others," he said. "Then we scoured San Diego trying to find a Portuguese sailor to use as a model for Manuel. Finally we found our man. The chap came to the studio to see me. He
Manuel. The expression in his eyes, the way he walked, the way he sat, the way he used his hands, his knowledge of boats. Then he began to talk, and...he spoke better English than I do. When I asked him what he thought about my calling the kid my 'leetle feesh,' he looked at me patiently--and a little pityingly--and said, 'Do you mean
little fish
, Mr. Tracy?' I gave up."
In early September 1936, MGM spent three days shooting test footage for
Captains Courageous
, including makeup for Tracy. The makeup people experimented with darkening his skin and curling his hair--something Tracy hated. "One day, just after I'd had my hair curled," said Tracy, "I walked down the stairs at Metro and heard a scream. I looked up, and Joan Crawford said, 'My God, Harpo Marx!'"
There were many times when the insecure Tracy considered pulling out of the film. However, his friends and colleagues would convince him to stay and throw himself into the role. "I finally talked myself into practicing dialect and putting up with having my hair curled twice a day," said Tracy, "but the thought of singing gave me the shudders. I dodged the voice teacher, Arthur Rosenstein, for weeks. After I started taking lessons, I used to duck practice as much as I could. Then I just said, 'Oh, what's the difference?' and let the old baritone rip." Tracy also took musical lessons so that he could properly handle a hurdy-gurdy, which Manuel plays in the film.
Just as
Captains Courageous
was set to begin principal shooting, however, the entire MGM family was dealt a painful blow on the morning of September 14, 1936: Production Chief Irving Thalberg died suddenly at the premature age of 36. Thalberg had been a much beloved figure at the studio, and Tracy knew that it was Thalberg's guidance of his career that had helped make him a star at MGM. After a brief period of mourning that initially delayed the production schedule on
Captains Courageous
, shooting was ready to commence. Tracy wanted to honor Thalberg in his performance as Manuel out of respect for all he had done for him and the faith Thalberg had always shown in his talent.

Anchor Bar (Hamilton)
Anchor Bar is a landmark restaurant in Buffalo, NY that has recently expanded north of the border, though not quite to Toronto just yet. The first location, and the subject of this review, is in Hamilton. But with another one planned for our fair city later this year, I thought it worth offering a sneak peak of what to expect by trekking out to Steeltown.
If you are a dedicated chicken wing connoisseur, then you've probably already made the pilgrimage to Buffalo at one point or another. If not, the Hammer shaves off half that trip; just be warned that it'sa confusing place. 2 King Street West, for instance, happens to be next to 116 King Street West. Ah yup, welcome to Hamilton.
Anchor Bar recently usurped the previous tenant 'Waltz Live Music', which occupied the corner of Jackson square for close to a decade. According to legend, the owners of the original location, Teressa and Frank Bellissimo, created the first Buffalo style chicken wing on March 4th, 1964. Pride runs deep at this family institution. And with a James Beard award under their belt, all the boasting, rest assured, is quite warranted.
On the menu there are many interpretations of the mighty chicken wing, whether it be stuffed into pasta, infused in soup, slipped into sandwiches or turned into lollipops. There are also smoked meat sandwiches, rack of lamb, tabouli and chick pea salad. By all means indulge in this fare, but just make sure to also get the wings.
While the original Buffalo restaurant is showing its age, this one month old Hamilton hotspot is pristine. Highlighted by a massive California Redwood bar, the interior is rather posh compared to its predecessor. Exposed brick ads a layer of coziness, and the rope knot lighting is a subtle nod to the restaurant's nautical name. Dotting the walls are the customary vanity licence plates, autographed pictures of pseudo celebrities (Trish Stratus eats wings! Gasp!) and chicken wing nostalgia, including a trophy case filled with their many various awards.
Beer choices offer the usual suspects, five domestics competing with imported Guinness, Rolling Rock and Heineken. Bar shelves are lined with deluxe spirits and a slim wine list offers predictable by-the-glass and bottle options.
Preparing for an onslaught of grease and dietary misery, we start with the healthy and impressive Quinoa salad ($10.99). Cucumber, sliced cherry tomatoes, chunks of red peppers, slivers of red onion rest atop a pile of arugula and spinach. A crown of grainy quinoa adds a good amount of crunch, and the sprouts brighten the dish up.
Normally I'd stick to wings, but with their Italian heritage and a toasty wood burning oven I felt obligated to try the Canadiana pizza ($12.99) with mushrooms, pepperoni, and salty double smoked bacon. The crust was thin and bubbly, barely containing the greasy cheese and generous toppings. Not bad for a wing joint.
Chicken wings come mild, medium hot, spicy hot bbq, and suicide for an extra $.99 or all in with the 'Abandon Ship' for an extra $1.99. That's right, no honey garlic. We snagged a single order (about 8 wings for $11.99) of hot and medium, which comes with a pile of celery (What? No carrots!) and a ramekin of creamy blue cheese.
Crispy yet moist on the inside, the wings were off the charts. The flats pull apart easily, resulting in an eruption of greasy deliciousness. Although the sauces weren't spicy enough (hot is more like medium, and medium is more like meh) the buttery aftertaste completed the finger licking experience.
A side of poutine ($7.99) is a soupy mess. The gravy to cheese ratio is completely off, but as an American chain, this foreign delicacy must be hard to master. But, hey, even bad poutine can still somehow be good.
One, however, should completely avoid the Anchor burger ($12.99). Served on a hoagie style submarine bun, cheap Kraft cheese slices are slathered atop a rectangular doubled up burger patty with an uneven smattering of red onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and a mixture of two sauces that should never go together: chipotle and hollandaise. Maybe this was supposed to be a joke, or perhaps it's actually popular south of the border.
But I should have taken my own advice and just eaten more wings, so who cares about the burger? If you're headed to Steeltown (Copps Coliseum anyone?), these are amazing wings and well worth a pit stop. Or you could just patiently wait for the onslaught of franchises to occupy the city, Five Guys style.

Looking forward to making the trek out to the Hammer for some OG Buffalo wangz!
now we can add shitty looking wings to the list.
Buffalonians are split on their favourite wing - the US border guard I last spoke to at the Rainbow Bridge prefers Duff's (we have three locations in the GTA), but recommends Anchor Bar for the experience.
My favourite Hamilton watering hole is the Winking Judge on Augusta Street - they have decent wings, plus a great selection of Ontario craft brews rivaled by few (maybe only Bar Volo and C'est What?).
New question: how does it stack next to the Toronto Duff's locations? (Which have Beau's and Mill Street beers as well a few corporate brews).
PS. I've had the wings, they are probably the best in the city, but this place won't survive with those high prices.

Sloughs along Interstate 90 near the Humboldt and Canistota exits show the effects of the drought. / Dacia Idom / Argus Leader
Drought and wildlife
A look at how the drought is affecting selected wildlife in the region:
Big game
Big game generally do OK if the dry period is short. But one worry centers on the midge fly. They hatch in stagnant water and are a vector for diseases that threaten deer.
Game officials are watching for cases of botulism. As the water recedes, vegetation rots and creates ideal conditions for bacteria. Foraging waterfowl contract the disease and die.
Topeka shiner
The endangered minnow lives in the intermittent streams in the Big Sioux, Vermillion and James watersheds. Those intermittent streams are drying up because of the drought.
So far the state bird is doing well . But Game, Fish & Parks officials are worried about next year, when the lack of vegetation caused by this years dry conditions make it more difficult for birds to find cover for nests.
Most of the attention on the harm caused by the drought scorching the Midwest this summer has focused on the regions biggest economic drivers: crops and cattle.
Less discussed are the effects on wildlife, which typically are more hardy in the face of drought but feel the stress of prolonged dry periods the same as corn and cows.
Twenty-one percent of the state was in extreme drought, according to a recent Drought Monitor report, and conditions are expected to stay the same or intensify through the end of the month, said Laura Edwards, a climate field specialist at South Dakota State University Extension.
There are agricultural impacts, but it can have an effect on ecosystems and natural habitats as well, she said.
Dry sloughs mean fewer places for waterfowl to park and can become breeding grounds for deadly bacteria. Low streamflows mean big game have to venture farther to find water. Heat can kill fish.
One recent example: the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is blaming a July 27 fish kill on the Big Sioux River partly on high temperatures and low streamflows. That combination made the fish more susceptible to elevated levels of ammonia being discharged from the John Morrell packing plant, they said.
But state officials say wildlife probably wont feel the true effects of the drought until next year.
Game, Fish and Parks officials in southeastern South Dakota are on the lookout for drought-induced stress but so far havent seen much, said Ron Schauer, regional program manager for Game, Fish and Parks in Sioux Falls.
The agency did issue an alert recently to watch for cases of botulism in shorebirds. As the water recedes, vegetation rots and creates ideal conditions for the bacteria. Then, when foraging waterfowl contract the disease and die, other ducks sometimes feed on the maggots in the carcass, further spreading the disease, said K.C. Jensen, an assistant professor of wildlife management at South Dakota State University.
Its kind of like a snowball, he said.
Birds contract botulism in the hot months of normal years, too, but drought makes transmission more likely, he said.
As for big game, they generally do OK during short periods of drought, said Andy Lindbloom, senior big game biologist for Game, Fish and Parks. The biggest concern is the midge fly population. Midge, which hatch in stagnant waters, are a vector for bluetongue disease and Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD), which killed 1,000 deer last fall.
EHD typically doesnt begin showing up until early fall, though, so its an unknown at this point what this drought season could bring, he said.
Scott Larson, field supervisor at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife ecological field station in Pierre, said the drought is drying up many of the intermittent streams in the Big Sioux, Vermillion and James watersheds streams that provide habitat for the endangered Topeka shiner minnow.
But they evolved in that pattern, he said, so despite expected population losses, the agency expects theyll be able to bounce back next year.
Wildlife also are affected by how humans respond to drought. For instance, the USDAs recent decision to open up Conservation Reserve Program acreage, including wetlands, to haying and grazing, removes potential forage and habitat for upland and big game, Lindbloom said.
Travis Runia, senior upland game biologist at Game, Fish and Parks, is helping coordinate the annual pheasant brood count to establish a population estimate for South Dakotas favorite bird.
The wet fall and brown winter was good for the birds, he said, leaving them plenty of vegetation in which to establish nests, and hes optimistic about population numbers.
Im almost more worried about next year, he said, when the lack of residual cover from this year will make it harder for birds to find cover for nests.
Runia also is watching with unease the expiration of 225,000 acres of CRP land Sept. 30. This will put South Dakota under 1 million acres of CRP land for the first time since the 1980s, he said.
You can have the best weather in the world, he said, but if you dont have cover on the ground ...
Thats Jensens worry, too.
Wildlife survive droughts for years; they cycle up and down, he said. We cant do anything about the drought. Were really concerned more in the long term about the loss of habitat.

Weather Prompts Target Complaints, Complicates Financial Outlook
Tuesday April 16th, 2013 - 10:13AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Target Corp. is another retailing crying foul… weather. The company today announced that it expects first quarter 2013 comparable store sales growth to be approximately flat due to softer than anticipated sales trends particularly in seasonal and other weather-sensitive categories across the store.
In line with the softer sales, Target stated that its first quarter adjusted earnings will likely come in at the low end of prior guidance that ranged from $1.10 to $1.20.
In addition, a debt tender offer, the sale of credit card receivables and Canadian initiatives also impacted the retailer's financial metrics. So, Target expects first quarter GAAP earnings per share to be approximately 28 cents lower than adjusted EPS due to losses, recognized in interest expense, of approximately $445 million, or 41 cents per share, involving early debt retirement, dilution related to the company's Canadian segment of approximately 23 cents per share and net accounting gains of approximately 36 cents per share associated with the sale of Target's entire consumer credit card receivables portfolio to TD Bank Group.
Target further noted that it expects fiscal 2013 adjusted EPS to be consistent with the previous guidance of $4.85 to $5.05. The retailer anticipates full-year 2013 GAAP EPS to be approximately 57 cents lower than adjusted EPS due to the early retirement of debt expense, a 45 cent per share expense related to Canadian operations, and a 29 cent per share accounting gain associated with the credit card receivables sale.
On April 11, Target announced the final results of previously announced tender offers to purchase up to $1.11 billion of debt securities. The company's final purchase totaled $760.7 million at a cost of $1.11 billion including late tender offer consideration.

The holiday season must be approaching, because retailers are adding items to their wish lists. I don't mean the products expected to be big sellers during the fourth quarter. I'm referring to new demands by retailers to their suppliers for fees, price allowances and other hands-tying arrangements.
