Yesterday, Walgreen (WAG) closed just $0.61 from an all-time high. Year-to-date the stock is up some 47% and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Does Walgreen have the right prescription for continued appreciation? I decided to check it out, especially since the company is set to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Oct. 1.
Earlier this month, Walgreen's announced that August same-store sales rose 4.8%, which beat the consensus expectation of 2.9%. Because of the strong comp store results, the company now expects to sales to rise 5.1% to $17.95 billion.
Prescriptions filled on a same-store basis in August rose 5.6%. Pharmacy same-store sales rose 6.4%, and front-end same-store sales rose 2.2%.
But investors are not buying the stock because of a turnaround in its retail pharmacy business. Last year, Walgreen went international. WAG bought 45% of U.K. based Alliance Boots. Alliance Boots operates over 3,100 retail pharmacies in 25 countries and is one of Europe's largest pharmacy wholesalers. Alliance Boots serves over 170,000 pharmacies, hospitals and doctors in 20 countries.
In March 2013, Walgreen announced a 10-year partnership with AmerisourceBergen (ABC). AmerisourceBergen is America's largest pharmaceutical wholesaler. WAG and Alliance have the right to acquire a 23% minority stake in ABC. Together the three companies hope to expand their global presence and collaborate on global supply chain opportunities.
With the Alliance Boots deal, Walgreen thinks it can accelerate its growth from an annualized 8% to greater than 12% by fiscal 2016. In other words, management thinks it can get from $72 billion in revenue during fiscal 2012 to over $130 billion with Alliance Boots. Together the companies estimate cost savings of at least $1 billion due to overlap of operations.
By the terms of the deal, WAG will purchase the remaining 55% of Alliance Boots it doesn't own. By combining the companies it is expected, Walgreen will handle 10% of the world's prescriptions.
Assuming things go smoothly, by 2016, Walgreen is expected to earn between $5.00 and $5.50 per share, which compares to the current $3.54 consensus estimate for the company. So when the company reports fourth-quarter earnings next Tuesday, investors will be more interested in how the partnerships and deals are progressing, rather than the retail pharmacy business. Investors who are buying the stock now need to believe that Walgreen has the right prescription three years from now when earnings are expected to be up at least 50%. The stock seems to be ahead of itself and I would wait for a pullback. A lot can go wrong over the next three years. Buying the stock at current levels could give you a headache.

"I ordered these to match engagement party invitations and they were perfect. Really a great way to tie in my envelops and my invitations. Great quality and great product!"
"Great color and text. A bit larger than I was imaging (they are about 2 in wide and 1 in tall), so I am going to use them on the back of the small envelopes for my save the dates. But overall I am very happy with them!"
"This address label worked perfectly with the wedding invites that I ordered from Wedding Paper Divas. These labels are crisp and clean and also fun and elegant."
"I was very pleased with the address labels!!! the came very quickly, looks real nice!! Completely happy with wedding paper divas."
"This address label is perfect. It has a great design, quality sticker, Easy to use. I chose the orange color and was worried since I wouldn't get to see it before hand, but it was very true to what I expected. The best part is that once I got it I realized 1) I had put the wrong city on the addres, and 2) that the last page of the labels and not printed correctly and had an ink link through the whole sheet causing them to be unusable. I contacted customer service, mentioned both problems and they immediately mailed me another full order of the labels with the corrected address. Great customer service!"

You know this face. And the deep emotional response it generates even 72 years after it first appeared in a San Francisco newspaper. • Today, as we honor our own mothers, we should think, too, about the thousands who struggle daily just to keep themselves and their children alive. • As this mother was doing in March 1936 during the Great Depression when photographer Dorothea Lange stumbled upon her at a California migrant workers camp near a field of ruined peas. With a click, Lange made history for herself and the woman, who became an enduring, iconic symbol of courage and survival but remained a mystery as a flesh-and-blood individual. To most people she has always been, simply, Migrant Mother. Her real story, in which she was a victim not only of circumstances but also distortions of personal memory and historical lapses, is far more complicated.
The photographer
Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) was born in New Jersey, studied her craft with several noted photographers and in 1918 started a successful portrait studio in San Francisco. She achieved fame documenting the grim human toll of the Great Depression. In 1952 she was one of a group that included Ansel Adams that founded the influential Aperture magazine, dedicated to promoting photography as an art form. Her final years were marked by illnesses relating to polio, which she had contracted as a child and left her with a noticeable limp throughout her life. She often said that her limp seemed to make her downtrodden subjects more comfortable with her, as she approached them with a large, intimidating camera for her signature close-up shots, because they recognized that she understood suffering.
The photograph
Migrant Mother is Lange's most famous image and one of the most famous in the history of photography. But it almost never happened. According to her recollections in a 1960s interview that are now in the Library of Congress archives, Lange had finished a monthlong assignment for a government agency documenting migrant farm laborers in the Los Angeles area and was heading for home in Berkeley one rainy afternoon. She passed a camp, drove 20 miles, then reluctantly turned around, thinking she might find more subjects.
At least 2,500 workers and their families were living there in near starvation, the pea crop they hoped to harvest having been destroyed by freezing rain. She approached a mother and children, sheltered in a lean-to tent pitched in the mud. Without a word, she began taking photographs, moving ever closer as the children shied away from the camera. She shot six frames. The last one, she knew, was the one: the woman holding her infant, two of her other daughters clinging to her, their faces buried in her shoulders.
Before Lange left, she found out the woman was 32 and had seven children, but she didn't get her name. In describing the scene later, she would say, incorrectly, that the family had sold their tires for food.
Lange sent prints to a government agency in Washington. Appalled, government officials sent 20,000 pounds of food. Lange took another set to the San Francisco News. That last photograph became an instant touchstone for the plight of migrants.
The family left the camp the day the photograph was taken and didn't benefit from the food drop, nor did they come forward when the photograph ran. Lange seemed never to have tried to find the family and Migrant Mother, the person, vanished from public sight for almost 40 years.
The mother
The woman was Florence Owens. She was not typical of most migrant farm workers, being a resident of California rather than a refugee from the midwestern Dust Bowl disaster. She was a Cherokee, born in 1903 in Oklahoma, and she and her family had been evicted from their tribal lands by the government years earlier.
She and her parents were living in Mississippi when she married Cleo Owens in 1921. Florence and Cleo moved, with other members of his family, to California to work in the sawmills and farming areas around Sacramento. She had five children (Violet, Viola, Leroy, Troy and Ruby) and was pregnant with a sixth (Katherine) when Cleo died of tuberculosis in 1931. By then, the depression had wiped out the sawmills and the family was struggling to survive.
Florence worked two jobs to support the children. A relationship with a prominent man resulted in a seventh child and Florence, fearing he would try to take custody of the infant son, Charlie, left town with the kids. They eventually wound up farther south, in the San Joaquin Valley. For years Florence lived with but never married Jim Hill. Their first child, Norma, was about a year old when the family was headed to pick lettuce and their car broke down at the pea field on that fateful day. Hill and the two older boys went into town to get their radiator fixed.
Lange came and went. And suddenly there was the photograph of Florence with Katherine, left, Ruby and baby Norma splashed across the newspaper.
The Owens-Hill family were aware of the photograph's publication because Troy saw it when he was working a paper route a day or two later. He said when he showed his mother the newspaper, "she just looked at it. She didn't say nothin.' "
The couple had three more children, one of whom died in infancy. The family never lived in one place for very long, following the crops through California. Hill was, according to one of his children, a good person who had no sense of responsibility or ambition. Florence and Hill split, and she married George Thompson, a hospital administrator, after the end of World War II. Her life became more comfortable though, her children said, she lived in a mobile home, never a house, because she always wanted to be able to move on if bad times returned.
Florence Owens Thompson died several weeks after her 80th birthday, surrounded by her family which numbered more than 100 and included grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
and vindication
In the late 1970s, a reporter tracked down Florence Owens Thompson, by then a widow living in Modesto. She broke her silence and blasted Lange, who had died in 1965. "I wish she hadn't taken my picture. I can't get a penny out of it. She (Lange) didn't ask my name. She said she wouldn't sell the pictures. She said she'd send me a copy. She never did," Thompson said in a story that made the national news.
Even with renewed interest in her, Thompson preferred privacy to the limelight.
In 1983 Thompson had a stroke and required round-the-clock nurses her family couldn't afford so they went public again, asking for contributions to help with medical expenses. Almost $35,000 poured in, mostly small donations from people moved by the resolute set of the young mother's face. She died several months later at her son Troy's home and is buried near Modesto under a gravestone bearing the inscription, "Migrant Mother — A Legend of Strength of American Motherhood."
'A sense of pride'
In 2002 documentary filmmaker Geoffrey Dunne wrote an extensive biography of Florence Owens Thompson for New Times magazine in San Luis Obispo. Interviews with her children reveal a woman who found the photograph humiliating, stereotyping her as a pathetic vagabond. Norma Rydlewski, the infant in the photograph, said, "Mother was a woman who loved to enjoy life, who loved her children. When I look at that photo of mother, it saddens me. That's not how I remember her."
Florence's son Troy Owens added his own disappointment in Lange's depiction of the encounter, especially the detail she perpetuated in a 1960 interview about the family selling its tires. Dunne, in New Times, quotes him: "There's no way we sold our tires because we didn't have any to sell. The only ones we had were on the Hudson and we drove off in them. I don't believe Dorothea Lange was lying, I just think she had one story mixed up with another. Or she was borrowing to fill in what she didn't have."
But the bitterness had been eased by the outpouring of support before his mother died.
"None of us ever really understood how deeply Mama's photo affected people," said Owens. "I guess we had only looked at it from our perspective. For Mama and us, the photo had always been a curse. After all those letters came in, I think it gave us a sense of pride."
Dorothea Lange, a great photojournalist, can be faulted for failing to fully report the story of the Migrant Mother. But she never made much money on the photograph. Unlike most famous photographs, which are copyrighted and are reprinted only with permission and often for a hefty charge, Migrant Mother belongs to the U.S. government and can be used free in stories such as this one. Prints can be ordered for a small fee from the Library of Congress. In 1998, Migrant Mother became a 32-cent U.S. Postal Service stamp in the Celebrate the Century series. The photograph, considered a work of art, hangs in major museum collections throughout the world.

The 2012 Statewide Tornado Safety Drill is scheduled for Tuesday at approximately 10:07 a.m.
Take a minute to conduct the drill and review your severe weather safety plan.
The National Weather Service Offices serving Kentucky will use a tornado warning test messaage to trigger the drill.
In the event of pending or inclement weather, the drill will be rescheduled.
Starr Caroline would once spend an entire day scouring through items in thrift and consignment stores, but a trip to Owenton recently turned one of her favorite hobbies into a business of her own.
Caroline, the owner of Starr's What Nots & What Have You, said opening a thrift store had been an idea of hers for some time, but she hadn't exactly planned on Owenton.
The former Grant County resident said she came to the Owen County Sheriff's Office to pay taxes in 2011 when she spotted the open store at 101 West Seminary Street.
Damon Thayer will remain Owen County's state senator after the Kentucky Supreme Court recently blocked the newly formed senate district map that reflected changes in the commonwealth's population.
One of the changes moved Owen County from Thayer's 17th district and into former Gov. Julian Carroll's seventh district which includes Anderson, Franklin, Woodford and parts of Fayette counties.
The Owen County High School boys and girls basketball teams each captured their district crowns and will be moving on to the Eighth Region Tournament.
And the post-season honors begin for the Rebels.
Owen County was well represented on the All 8th Region Team which was announced last week.

Each year, the various chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsor a DAR Good Citizen contest for high school seniors.
The senior selected as "DAR Good Citizen" must have demonstrated the qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism.
The recent economic recession has affected everyone's bottom dollar. With continued high unemployment rates and increasing gas prices and grocery bills, many couples have encountered serious financial hardships. Learning how to work together during tough financial times is important for all couples, especially newlyweds.
The Owen County Arts Council recently hosted its second poetry reading at the Wild Goose Cafe, bringing Owen County's varied culture to literary fans of all ages.
Joan Goderwis, a member of the Owen County Arts Council, said the idea for a poetry reading came from fellow council member Patty Petzinger.
It is not often a basketball referee is cheered. Most of the time it is quite the opposite.
Friday night in Owenton, one official got cheers and even a few hugs.
Owen County native Robert 'Buck' Beverly officiated basketball in the Eighth Region for 10 years. When a health condition forced him to hang up his whistle and pick up a clipboard, he gladly accepted. Now instead of blowing his whistle on the court, he sits in the stands and evaluates those who make the calls on it.
As an assistant evaluator of officials, Beverly has the chance to remain close to the game he loves so much.

Romney's Fair Use of a Song Nets Him a Takedown Notice...
Obama and Romney sparred in television ads featuring each other singing songs (Romney singing "America the Beautiful" to the backdrop of closed factories, Obama singing "Let's Stay Together" as damning headlines float by), but Romney's was taken down by a DMCA request in spite of its obvious fair usage of the song in question. Full story at Ars Technica:
The Romney ad seems like as clear-cut a case of fair use as can be imagined. Obama's singing is a core part of the ad's message, and copyright law explicitly mentions commentary and criticism as justifications for fair use. And it's hard to imagine the ad harming the market for Al Green CDs or iTunes tracks.
Yet the "notice and takedown" process established by the DMCA and apparently utilized by BMG in this case doesn't give the Romney campaign much recourse. It can file a counter notice stating that it believes its clip to be fair use, but YouTube is required to wait a minimum of 10 days before putting the video back up. In a campaign where the news cycle is measured in hours, 10 days is an eternity.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky coach Matt Mitchell believes that if his sixth-ranked Wildcats want to be the best team they have to play the best.
Right now that is No. 1 Baylor and senior Brittney Griner.
The Wildcats will get their shot against the Bears on Tuesday on the defending national champions' home court in Waco, Texas.
It is the first meeting between the schools and presents the biggest challenge yet for Kentucky since the Wildcats upset No. 1 Tennessee 66-63 in 2006. The Bears (1-0) are coming off a 40-0 season and return their entire starting lineup, including the 6-foot-8 Griner, the national player of the year.
The Wildcats are preseason favorites to win the Southeastern Conference but will find out quickly where they stand nationally; Baylor is considered a favorite to repeat as national champions.

European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet said the bank had done its part in the eurozone debt crisis and now it was up to governments to act, in an interview with the Financial Times published Thursday.
"I think that the ECB has done all it could to be up to its responsibilities in exceptional circumstances," Trichet told the newspaper, which stressed the Frenchman made clear the ECB will not be the lender of last resort for governments.
"The ultimate backstop is, of course, the governments. To do anything that would let governments off their responsibilities would be a recipe for failure," he said in the interview published on the British newspaper's website.
The comments from Trichet, who is retiring at the end of October after eight years at the helm of the ECB, came ahead of a meeting of Group of 20 finance chiefs in Paris.
Trichet will join finance ministers and central bankers from the world's major economies Friday and Saturday in the French capital.
At a pre-G20 briefing, a French official said Thursday the top priority would be to tackle the eurozone financial crisis.
"The G20 is taking place in a context where the absolute priority is to find solutions to stabilize the eurozone," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
France holds the rotating presidency of the G20. The French official said that measures proposed at the weekend will be brought to the G20 summit in Cannes in the first week of November.

text: Nathan Pflugmacher The Gettysburg Address was one of the most successful speeches in American history because it was, short, to the point, and was a eulogy to those who lost their lives at Gettysburg. Everett was invited to speak at Gettysburg and Lincoln was a mere afterthought. On the day of the speech, the crowd listened to Everett for two hours speak before Lincoln. Some people probably didn't even hear Lincoln when he gave his "little speech" of 272 words. This speech was given only 4 months after the bloodiest war on American soil. Lincoln gave a Eulogy dedicated to those lost at Gettysburg. Lincoln states "We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives so this nation might live." Lincoln only spoke for 2 minutes and changed the meaning of the war to preserve the union and protect it even by the means of war so the men died will not die in vain. Lincoln gave the speech during America's lowest point in history. He gave the speech to uplift the spirits of Union. He uplifts the spirits so the living can keep fighting against the South to preserve the Union and democracy. Lincoln stated "Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." This speech gave so much to the American people in hope and respect to those past away. He made us never forget the lives lost on that day in Gettysburg. This speech is considered one of the most eloquent speeches ever given. Nathan Pflugmacher Fisher High School Fisher, Il

Planning Begins for Every 15 Minutes
January 10, 2012
Applications for the 2012 Every Fifteen Minutes program are now being accepted and available online. Applicants must be a junior or senior, with seniors having priority in the decision process. After completing and submitting application online, students attend one of two orientations with a parent and a parent must turn in the student's obituary.
Every 15 Minutes is a program designed to teach students the dangers of drinking and driving. The program receives help from multiple organizations including the Mansfield Police and Fire Departments, Mansfield Independent School District, Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission, Methodist Mansfield Hospital, Blessing Funeral Home and Careflite. The event features a mock crash scene, retreat and an assembly attended by all juniors and seniors.
"Every year there are different things that impact the participants," campus event coordinator Stephanie Shackelford said. "You never know what will affect somebody or how it will hit them."
The crash scene will only be available to a maximum of 35 seniors from each school. These students are selected randomly and will also attend the overnight retreat.
"I'm sad we can't allow all the students to see the crash scene," Mrs. Shackelford said. "but better some see it than get rid of it all together."
In previous years, Every 15 Minutes was held the week before prom, to reinforce to students the dangers of drinking and driving before and after prom. This year, the committee has decided to hold the event the weekend before Spring Break with hopes for students to understand the dangers of drinking and driving all the time, rather than concentrating on prom.
"Having the event right before prom directed the focus heavily on not drinking and driving before or after prom," Mrs. Shackelford said. "We hope that moving the date makes the message more universal."
Overall, 100 students participate as part of the "Living Dead." The students' parents write an obituary as if the student were actually dead. Every 15 minutes, a grim reaper, counselor and police officer will pull one student from each class and read their obituary aloud for all the class to hear. The students return to class with their face painted white and a Living Dead t-shirt on, not to speak or communicate with students or teachers for the remainder of the school day in order to give the effect of sudden loss to those around them.
"Most kids know you aren't supposed to drink and drive," Mrs. Shackelford said. "A lot of students don't realize in a drunk driving accident, it's not only the drinker who gets injured."

Jeffrey Brown has the story.
JEFFREY BROWN: It's the voice and the energy that grab you first, a new force in old-fashioned soul music that's garnered a small, but growing following for Charles Bradley.
Supported by a group of funk all-stars called the Menahan Street Band, he's been on tour for a year to promote his album "Victim of Love," packing intimate venues across North America, Europe and Down Under, the fans who come to bear witness to Bradley preach the gospel of soul.
CHARLES BRADLEY: When I get on that stage, all I might do is open my heart and let the spirit run free and show you the love that God gave me within.
Sometimes, when you hear me scream, I scream because it's like 30 words coming to me at one time. I cannot sing those 30 words. I can't, so I scream it.
JEFFREY BROWN: The intensity comes honestly. After a life of hard knocks, Bradley got his first big break at age 62, when Daptone, a record label helping him bring about a resurgence of soul music, release his first album, "No Time For Dreaming."
"Rolling Stone" magazine named it one of the best albums of 2011. But for Bradley, his recent success is the accumulation of life marked by adversity.
Bradley grew up in New York City and spent most of his life on the cusp over poverty. As a young adult, he spent time living on the streets. With little education and few opportunities, he struggled to make ends meet.
CHARLES BRADLEY: I left home when I was 14 years old. I had been on my own, hadn't been home, and I was in the streets. And I done been through so many things in my life.
JEFFREY BROWN: It was an opportunity with Job Corps, the vocational training program created in 1964 as part of President Lyndon Johnson's war on poverty, that led Bradley to his first real gig.
CHARLES BRADLEY: When I turned 16, I went to Job Corps.
And everybody was telling me, you look like that guy James Brown. And I learned two songs of his. And they had a rock 'n' roll band at Job Corps. And they asked me to join the band. They said, can you sing?
I was afraid. So, they sneaked and gave me a little bit of gin, and I got a little popped up. I said, give me that mike. And I started singing, and never put the mike down.
MAN: Put your hands together and meet and greet Black Velvet, James Brown Jr.!
JEFFREY BROWN: Bradley's uncanny resemblance to the godfather of soul wasn't lost on him.
In fact, when he was finally discovered by Daptone, Bradley was well into his 50s and making a living as a James Brown act known as Black Velvet.
These days, Bradley's songs reflect the story of his own past. One of the most heartbreaking, "Heartaches and Pain," tells the story of the death of his brother, who was shot in his home in New York City.
Band leader Tom Brenneck is Bradley's writing partner.
THOMAS BRENNECK: It's impossible for Charles to sing something and for it not to be incredibly soulful. And I think that comes from all the pain that he — the place where he sings from is a place of pain and frustration.
He doesn't really particularly like to sing so much about the good times, as much as he likes to sing about the things that — you know, the trials and tribulations of his life and the struggle.
JEFFREY BROWN: For Bradley, it's a struggle worth fighting for many more years to come.
CHARLES BRADLEY: All my life, I have always been looking for a dream, from the age of 14, and I don't stop. I don't stop. I keep going.

text: U.S. Bank will provide more than $2.6 million in New Markets Tax Credit equity for the next phase of construction at Brunswick Landing, an expansive redevelopment of the former Naval Air Station Brunswick campus. U.S. Bank's financing will fund the renovation of a 9,000-square-foot facility on the Brunswick campus into space for Providence Services Corporation (PSC), the largest provider of child behavioral health and autism services in the area. The renovation will also support the expansion of the Midcoast Veterans Resource Center (MVRC), a non-profit organization that seeks to enhance the ability of veterans to support and care for themselves and their families. Naval Air Station Brunswick was originally constructed in 1943 and was operated as a military base until 2011, since which time Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority (MRRA) has overseen its redevelopment into a progressive 3,200-acre, mixed-use campus. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, it includes nearly two million square feet of commercial and industrial space and Brunswick Executive Airport. "We're pleased to play a role in funding the next phase of Brunswick Landing," said Laura Vowell, vice president for U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corp. the U.S. Bank subsidiary that provided the financing. "This redevelopment project combines essential social services with innovative commercial and industrial space, giving Brunswick an economic boost for years to come." The 9,000-square-foot PSC facility, a former bowling alley, will be renovated into professional offices, conference and classroom space, and an indoor playground, all to be operated by PSC. The project will bring PSC's total employment at Brunswick Landing to 150 people, including 60 employees who will be relocated there as a result of the expansion. PSC serves more than 1,500 individuals annually across 15 counties in Maine. A conference room also will be built for the MVRC, providing additional space where veterans can obtain benefits, services and resources in support of their reintegration into the community. Since opening in September 2013, MVRC has served 240 veterans with a staff of 16 volunteers.

What are the mechanics of putting a ship into a ship maintenance bay of (orca/carrier) under fire?
Specifically, I had a lowsec legion engage me (http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13622455) who had an orca at the ingate and tried to put his legion into the orca when in half armor. The legion exploded when he did and given the fact that he expressed his surprise over this happening in local as well as me seeing more of his corpmates doing the same later this evening, I guess he was in the situation before.
Bonus questions:
a) When the orca stole the loot from the legions wreck, it became a valid target and I could have agressed it without getting a GCC and taking sentry fire, right?
b) However the orca would not be aggressed and could simply have jumped through the gate it was at?
c) If I had another pilot of my corp on the other side of the gate (highsec), could that pilot engage the orca without getting concordokkened?
I was unsure of the mechanics at that time and let the orca go since I would not have been able to tank the sentry guns.
PS: Highsec aggro mechanics are scary and complicated. I already miss the simplicity of nullsec.

Mischa Barton is skinny now. But shut up about it.
Apparently Mischa Barton lost some weight and now thinks she's a lightning rod of media scrutiny. I must've missed that memo – along with the rest of the media. Though in our defense we have a wicked beer pong tourney going on. (Wolf Blitzer, it's on!) Anyway, Mischa spoke out to Celebuzz about her new figure:
In an exclusive statement to Celebuzz, Barton laments the celeb-media industry, equating it to the "mean girls in high school."
"One minute, I'm too fat, the next I'm too skinny," Barton says in the statement. "(The press) is always looking to start rumors and create drama."
The fact that the stories have only escalated forced her to take a stand. "Honestly I think this whole situation is ridiculous," she writes to Celebuzz. "But there comes a time when you have to address these things."
So, what, did Mischa Barton wake up and think she's Jessica Simpson all of sudden? Because that happens to me all the time. Which is why I wore nothing but a Cowboys jersey to work today. What's up, boss?

The 'Hills' alum gets the boot after being placed in the bottom two along with Hope Solo, a situation that judge Len Goodman calls 'madness.'
The result of this week's "Dancing with the Stars" came out a bit shocking. Instead of axing one of the weakest contestants, the October 4's result show unveiled that Kristin Cavallari, who had shown steady performances, had to hang her dancing shoes.
Kristin was in jeopardy along with Carson Kressley and Hope Solo. Carson was placed among the bottom of current scoreboard, while Hope was only one place behind Kristin, but it was the former "The Hills" star who apparently was least favored by audience since the combination of judges' score and viewers' votes could not save her.
"I'm a little surprised, to be honest," the 24-year-old reality star admitted after being hugged by her professional dancer partner Mark Ballas upon learning her fate. She added, "But I've had such a great time and I've had an awesome experience so it is what it is."
Kristin was not the only one shocked by the result. Judge Len Goodman said Kristin's and Hope's placement in the bottom two was "madness" since he expected that the two contestants "would be fighting for the final." He gushed, "This is truly crazy."
Starting out strong, Kristin got 24 out of 30 for dancing the samba to Beyonce Knowles' "Crazy in Love" in the third week. Meanwhile, Chaz Bono continued struggling to show his best, but he still got the lowest score on Monday, October 3.
With Chaz surviving the elimination, fans can expect to see his mother Cher among the audience next week. The singer recently tweeted, "Hope Chaz hangs on till next week so I can come sit in the audience and watch!"

Hurricane season was a consideration very early on in determining our wedding date and location. We decided to risk it when we chose our location along the coast in the peak of hurricane season. My family has vacationed along the Outer Banks for 26 years, and we were only evacuated for a hurricane one time, for Hurricane Bob. The last few days, have been full of news on the action in the Atlantic. Our wedding is next weekend (10 days away), and that red dot (Gaston?) in the lower right is really starting to make me nervous.
We do have backup plans in case of rain, however, nothing is as ideal as a ceremony on the beach. We are hoping for the best. The funny thing is, right now the focus is on Earl, who seems to be taking the same path as Bob did back in 1991. While we evacuated and ended our vacation early that year, its damage to the Outer Banks wasn't as devastating as others in recent years, though it hit Massachusetts pretty hard. Earl will be long gone by the big day, but we're still far enough away that a new storm (or two), could develop and impact our big day. Right now its anybody's guess.
As a bride bent on making the day "perfect", I try to keep reminding myself of all the things I have no control over, first and foremost, the weather. The only thing that really matters is the Love and Commitment between Moon Dude and myself, whether it happens indoors or out. Whatever happens with the weather will only make our union more memorable.
Rain or Shine, I'm Getting Married!

On Sunday, the Olympic champions take on reigning world champions Spain at La Caja Magica in Madrid (21:00 local/CET time). This is the first time the two teams meet since the memorable final in Beijing in 2008.

The two games will feature three of the potential medal teams for the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey.
Due to the interest and extensive television broadcasting of these games, the free-of-charge viewing will be limited, but it does mean that basketball fans in countries such as Germany, Russia and the UK will be able to see the last preparation games featuring these teams before the biggest international basketball event tips off in Turkey on 28th August.

SARASOTA - In baseball circles, it is said that when a hitter is on a hot streak, the baseball appears to be the size of a beach ball. Booker High's Albert de los Santos had one of those weeks last week.
Life was a beach for Albert last week in high school baseball action. In fact, de los Santos has been seeing beach balls all season long as he is hitting .512.
"He's fast, he's got strength, he hits the ball to the other side of the field with power…it's just that natural talent that you can't teach. He just has it," says head coach Jeremy Schmidt.
A good baseball batter gets a hit about every 3 at-bats, so with Albert hitting .512, he is getting a hit in less than every 2 at-bats. And last week he hit .667, which means he had 2 hits in every 3 at-bats to go with 5 RBI and 8 runs scored. "My father, he taught me how to hit very good. And when he was playing, he was a pretty good hitter himself. I picked it up from him, I guess."
Booker is 8-12 this season. They are a work in progress under new coach Jeremy Schmidt, and de los Santos is one of the reasons they are moving in the right direction. "The game comes easy to him. Sometimes it looks like he's doing it effortless out there," says Coach Schmidt.
"If I had to say, it was like 4 years old…picked up my first baseball bat and spongeball and started swinging the bat. When I was little I used to think all the time about being a professional baseball athlete," says de los Santos
"He is in the VPA program at Booker High School. He also plays the violin and the piano, so he is multi-talented," says Schmidt.
Congratulations to Albert de los Santos of Booker High School, he is our ABC 7 Athlete of the Week.

Ketlin Skirt
Known for her vibrant use of color, Kat Coyle brilliantly marries a somber tone with dazzling brights in this short skirt that includes two of her son's favorite things—black cats and the color red. Though the cat motif is an old one, the skirt is both youthful and classic—wear it with boots in deep winter or with sandals in high summer. A drawstring allows it to be cinched in at the waist or ride low on the hips. For fun, Kat made an alternate drawstring with stripes in the colors of the Fair Isle patterning; it doubles as a cool bracelet!

A year ago I was in Upper Michigan visiting family. I'm a proud Yooper. (Please don't say UPer— soooo annoying). At that time I told them I was likely moving to India. I mean we had been planning this move off and on for a long time – as in discussed it before V was even born. But even when I said it I wasn't sure about it. I didn't actually realize it was happening. Heck I don't think I realized it when my husband was interviewing in December. Maybe neither of us believed it when the container came to pick up our packed items.
But we're here. I need to choose to make the most and the best of it. I need to choose to be happy. I need to choose to accept that for now – India is our home. The kids have started classes in conversational Marathi. I will need to start as well.
So life goes on.
The kids grow.
Time passes.
But we still need to move on. Even if we don't want to move on we must.
Beautiful Upper Michigan
So we miss many things about the US. Every year I miss going home to Upper Michigan but always love going back to my new home. But now looking at my current move- I do miss being able to visit family every 6-9 months. Now it has been a year and I miss home.
Okay now I have to figure out the rest of today and pack for a little weekend excursion.

(WBIR) Frank Gary Cooper was sentenced to six years behind bars on Friday for the killing of a Knoxville grandmother.
The judge sentenced Cooper two years for criminally negligent homicide and four years for facilitation of aggravated burglary.
"This was a terribly difficult homicide," said Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz. "Cooper admitted they talked about it for two weeks before going."
Judge Leibowitz cited Cooper's lengthy criminal history, which dates back to when he was 13 years old, when announcing the sentence. Cooper assaulted an officer last year, and has admitted to a history of drugs and involvement in a gang.
Family members shared tears as they listened to one another take the stand. Friday was the first time they spoke at a court hearing since Nola Atkins, 72, was killed on March 21, 2008.
"My grandmother was the link that kept everybody together," said Denise Atkins, one of Atkins' granddaughters."No matter what, It's not going to take the pain away. It's not going to make me stop thinking about what happened."
Investigators said Cooper and two or three other men broke into her home under the assumption she had won a million dollar jackpot. Her son found Atkins dead in her home on Selma Avenue with a shotgun blast to the face.
In January, a jury found him not guilty of felony murder, but instead the lesser charges.
MORE: Jury convicts Cooper of Nola Atkin's murder
"Six years isn't enough, and what about the other guys who won't spend any time behind bars," said Terreka Holloway Smith, Atkins' granddaughter. "We've gotten a little justice. But he's going to be back out here. And I mean I wonder who's next."
"I'm content with what happened today. But at the same time, it's not over. It'll never be over, it'll never be over for us," said Roneshea Martin, Atkins' youngest granddaughter.
"It's not going to take the pain away, it's not going to make us heal. It's just kind of giving us a little bit of closure to move on but we'll never get over this," said Denise Atkins.
Cooper has already served more than three years behind bars, and will get credit for that time served. Judge Leibowitz said since convicts are eligible for parole after serving 30 percent of their sentence, it will be up to the Tennessee Department of Corrections on when he will be released.
Back in 2008, former Governor Phil Brenesen had announced a reward that led to the arrest of Darius Kyle, but the charges were later dropped.

Semico's IC forecast index takes dip
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. - There appears to be a sudden slowdown in the cell-phone, LCD, LED, PC and other product segments-a trend that impacts chip makers.
And chip inventories are on the rise. Is it a lull, a douple dip or major slowdown? One research house provided a glimpse of the current and future IC climate.
In August of 2010, the Semico IPI Index (Inflection Point Indicator) experienced its first drop since December 2009, warned Semico Researcxh Inc.
The Semico IPI Index signals changes in the direction of semiconductor sales growth one year in advance. Semico Research's growth rate for semiconductor sales already assumes a slower year in 2011 at 13 percent year-over-year growth, compared to the 31 percent growth in 2010.
The Semico IPI Index tracks 14 weighted, worldwide economic and semiconductor market factors including semiconductor sales, inventories, and printed circuit board sales.
"The IPI drop was small and one month is not a trend, so we will not be making any major changes to our forecast numbers yet," said Jim Feldhan, president of Semico Research, in a report. "But we will be keeping our eye on what happens to the Index next month."
''The big question is whether the foundries and memory manufacturers will be able to control spending in the first half of 2011 in order to avoid an over-capacity situation in the second half of 2011 and into 2012,'' according to Semico. ''In addition, although Semico believes electronic devices will continue to be a 'must-have' for most consumers, the volatile economic situation in both the U.S. and Europe will determine whether we wait for bargain sales or splurge on the latest iPad for holiday gift giving.''

Let's face it: You release a film called The Legend of Hercules in the wasteland of new-year releases, cast a secondary actor from Twilight and set the press screening three hours before the film goes wide, and you're not expecting art. But I got news for ya: We know that. We don't want art. We want manmeat.
And we get it. Indeed, were I Kellan Lutz, the blonde beefsteak who plays Herc, I'd agreed to do some campy sword-and-sandal movie like this, too. He's only going to have that physique, and that poor judgment, for a very narrow window if life. Why not preserve your look for gay teenage boys' masturbatory fantasies for decades to come?
There's a long history of such cheesefests, dating back to the Steve Reeves movies of the 1950s, and gaining true legitimacy once Gladiator won the best picture Oscar. Since then, there's been a parade of muscle-studs-in-skirts movies: 300, Clash/Wrath of the Titans, The Immortals and now this (and there's another Hercules movie coming out later this year). But really, Legend owes more to the soft-core porn of Bo Derek's Tarzan the Ape Man than any of those: The lighting is pearlescent, the flesh quivering and super-saturated, the dialogue almost intentionally terrible and the men touch each other a lot (even in platonic embraces, they cross the line from Homeric to homoerotic).
Renny Harlin, who I was unaware until the closing credits was even allowed near a director's chair anymore, keeps the rating PG-13, which means there's less blood in the coliseum fight than in the shower scene of Carrie. Ptosh! It's a pointless exercise to talk about the acting, the script, the abundance of super-slo-mo fight scenes (I suspect without them, the film would only run 18 minutes long), or even the fact that Hercules' milquetoast brother looks more like Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder than the once and future king of Greece. This is the kind of movie that you go into open I'd fully aware that its pure escapism. On that score, it doesn't myth the mark.

" Hotscamp / men's t-shirt. "
Who is the greatest superhero ever? That would be Superman but you could argue a case for Green Lantern (in the form of Hal Jordan of course) making the top five in the pantheon of costumed heroes. The Green Lanterns are essentially an intergalactic police force formed on the planet Oa, a place which is located right in the centre of the universe. All members of the Green Lantern Corps get a snazzy costume and a magic power ring that is one of the most potent weapons in the universe and only responds to the wearer's will (I love the way I'm already padding this review out with superhero trivia!). The best thing about Green Lanterns, apart from the fact they can construct and wield all manner of objects and luminous force fields with their power rings, is the light green costume they wear with the famous and wonderful Green Lantern symbol (which looks a bit like a scientific equation or symbol of some sort). You can buy a range of superhero themed t-shirts now and I found this (The HotScamp Premium Green Lantern Symbol Green T-Shirt) by accident. As someone with boxes of DC comics in the cupboard, I couldn't resist sending off for one.
This Green Lantern t-shirt retails at £9.95 (at the time of writing) and comes in three sizes. The places selling this t-shirt online have the exact measurements and guides for each size in case you are not sure of which one to go for so you should check out the buyer guides online. The t-shirt is unisex and machine washable. I've washed it a couple of times and it seems fine, with the all important Green Lantern symbol ('Hard Wearing Pro-Vinyl Screenprint' according to the blurb) very durable. I did buy a Superman t-shirt with a sort of silver foil Superman logo that has gone slightly frayed and unstable over time and with washes but this t-shirt seems of a much higher quality to me. The t-shirt can be worn by anyone too (despite being billed as a mens shirt) as the Green Lantern Corps is and always has been an equal opportunities employer.
One thing I like about the t-shirt is that it feels quite thick and the fabric is of a high quality. The t-shirt is billed as 100% Cotton and of 'premium' grade and it is a good one. It doesn't feel like a flimsy t-shirt and is very comfortable. I don't like flappy sleeves on t-shirts and this one feels quite snug. If you have a relative (especially a young one) who is a fan of Green Lantern or superheroes in general I think this would make a nice gift and it's certainly a bit more novel than the Superman logo t-shirts that many people buy. The best thing about the t-shirt is that it just looks nice with the white around the Lantern logo against a green backdrop. It would be a good t-shirt to have in the summer I think and is pretty good value at a tenner and should last a good while.
You can buy a darker Green Lantern t-shirt but I think this is more of a classic one as the green is bright and lighter (sort of like a snooker table green almost) like the green Green Lanterns in the comics (or the old ones I have anyway) wear. I haven't bought any issues of Green Lantern for a while so am not completely up to speed on what they look like now. This is basically a green t-shirt but with the Lantern symbol in a white circle on the chest. The Green Lantern symbol is a great piece of graphic design and very striking despite its simplicity. It's not as famous as the Superman and Batman symbols but anyone with an interest in Marvel or DC will immediately recognise the Green Lantern logo.
I haven't worn this a huge amount but as a Green Lantern fan I do enjoy owning it and anyone who has a decent DC comic collection would probably get a kick out of this. Out of the superhero logo t-shirts I've seen or purchased this is definitely my favourite as I find the Batman logo a bit ubiquitous, as too is the Superman symbol (despite being brilliant). You could probably do a good t-shirt with The Flash but I can't recall seeing a good one of those anywhere. I've never actually seen anyone wearing this t-shirt myself (apart from one person on television) which is definitely a plus. You don't want to buy a t-shirt that everyone is wearing.
The HotScamp Premium Green Lantern Symbol Green T-Shirt is a fun and attractive t-shirt of a very good quality. The stitching and fabric is good and the Lantern logo is of a high quality too and doesn't diminish just because you've worn and washed the t-shirt several times. The fact that the shirt of made to a good standard means it should last you a long time and therefore I think the £10 or so that this costs is not bad value at all. I just generally like owning this t-shirt because of the connection to the character in the comics and the fact that it is comfortable, well made and fits well is a big plus. If you want a superhero or comics t-shirt but one stands apart from the crowd just a little bit then this is a good one to get hold of.
And now, if you'll please excuse me, I have to charge my power ring and go and save the universe again...

The Passing of Royal-ty in College Football
A fullback lined up two yards behind the quarterback and a step up in front of two other running backs. Thus, the "wishbone" offensive formation was born.
This infamous and very effective offensive formation was a created in 1968 by coaching legend Darrell K. Royal, who passed away on Nov. 7 at the age of 88.
Royal was the face of Texas Longhorns football team from 1957-1976, while also being the University's Athletic Director from 1969-1972.
As the Longhorns head coach, Royal posted a record of 167-47-5, the best record in the nation during that time period and also making him the winningest coach in Longhorns
football history.
Royal took the job in 1957, hoping to turn around a struggling team. He turned a Longhorn team that had one only one game in the '56 season to winning six games the following season to go along with an appearance in the 1957 Sugar Bowl. Mission accomplished but there would be much more to the Royal legend.
This would be the first of the many great coaching accomplishments for Royal during his time with the Longhorns. Royal would take his simplistic and straightforward approach toward life and implement it into his coaching style. It led the Longhorns to three national championships ('63, '69, '70), 11 Southwest conference titles and 16 bowl appearances. Royal would claim two Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Awards. In his 23 years of coaching Royal never once had a losing season.
Royal was more than a coach in the game of football, he was also an innovator and a mentor for the game he loved. He created an offensive formation in the "wishbone" that spread like wildfire in the football world as many teams used it as a stable of their offense, not only back then but in today offense's as well.
Royal was the first coach in the nation to hire an academic counselor to ensure his athletes would graduate and be successful both off and on the field
The wishbone formation was without a question a reflection of Royal's coaching style. Royal was a believer in a strong running game and the wishbone focused on the rushing attack. Royal rarely enjoyed passing the ball, which led to this memorable quote: "Three things can happen when you pass the ball and two them are bad."
Since the time of Royal, the Longhorns have become a national powerhouse in college football, winning their fourth national championship in 2005 and many conference titles, but none of this would be possible without the work Royal had done.
The Longhorns would rename their stadium after the legendary coach in 1996. The Texas football team would also honor the coach by running a play off his famous wishbone formation during the team's 33-7 win over Iowa State this past weekend showing their respect for the coach and the memories he left them with.
Darrell K. Royal will go down as one of the greatest coaches in college football history, and even though he has passed he left behind his legacy in the world of football and we will all remember it as the legacy of a legend.

GE Executive says adoption of Apple products helps recruitment
Last year, GE launched a pilot program that lets its employees choose between a Mac notebook and a PC desktop. The program is not well-known, and only 1,000 employees have chosen a Mac over a PC. This number is expected to rise as more employees become aware of this option, and new employees join GE because they consider the company's policy to be contemporary.

Actress Maria Bello, mom to 10-year-old son Jackson, says that a mother's love for her child can be a double-edged sword.
"I always say the day I had my son was the best and worst day of my life," Maria tells the Chicago Sun-Times. "I knew that I would love this little person more than I ever loved anyone in my life. At the same time, I knew right there that I couldn't keep him from learning all of life's lessons. Even now when I raise my voice, I question myself as a parent."
The 45-year-old is set to tackle motherhood on the big screen as well, taking on the daunting role of a mom whose son opens fire on his classmates and then himself in the upcoming movie Beautiful Boy.
"I have such compassion for those parents," Maria reveals. "I can't even imagine what they go through. They're dealing with the loss of their children to either death or jail and must deal with the media blaming them. It's truly being sent to hell."

The annual explosion of High Country color will soon be upon us. Leaves are already beginning to fulfill the name of the season, but plenty will stubbornly cling to their posts through the next several weeks. And while doing so, they'll show off some spectacular shades of yellows, oranges, reds and greens.
According to one western North Carolina leaf expert, this could be one of the most impressive seasons in several years.
Fall leaf color in the mountains of Western North Carolina should be the best it has been in several years because of drier-than-normal conditions this year, an expert at Western Carolina University says.
Kathy Mathews, an associate professor of biology at WCU, recently provided her annual prediction of how foliage around the region will perform as the sunlight of summer wanes and days become frosty. …
"That's good news for the North Carolina mountains," she said. "You will see a range of color in more than 100 species of trees." …
"The peak of fall color often arrives during the first and second week of October in the highest elevations, above 4,000 feet, and during the third week of October in the mid-elevations, 2,500 to 3,500 feet," Mathews said.
The scenic background will draw thousands of visitors to the High Country area. That's a perfect time for many to fall in love with the region, and take time out to find their opportunity to live the dream in the High Country of North Carolina.

Diane's first car was a 60 Corvair and when she spotted this one for sale in May of 2005 she was very excited. We managed to make connections with the owner and just before Memorial Day we became the fourth owners of this fun convertible. The car spent the summer in our garage, top down and ready to go at anytime. We put about 2500 miles on it during the summer and our last top down ride was the Saturday after election day in November. We went to a lot of cruise ins in the Saratoga/Glens Falls/Greenwich, NY area and met a lot of great folks. It seems like everyone has a Corvair story and we always enjoy listening to them. We are fortunate to have storage on our property so the car is already out and has had several top down rides already and a couple early cruise ins. We had Cotrofeld Automotive in Arlington, Vt go through the car last fall and we are now ready for another summer of fun. A must this summer will be a Thursday night cruise in a Hemming's in Bennington.
Update---Attended the 5/18/06 cruise in at Hemmings and plan to go back soon. (About a 30 mile ride)
We got to Hemmings 2 more times during summer of 2006. Hope to do better in 2007.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has resulted in increased Unemployment in the U.S.
by Mark Vorpahl
Global Research
July 27, 2010
On July 7, 2010, President Obama made the following remarks:
We're also reforming our own restrictions on exports, consistent with our national security interests. And we hope to move forward on new agreements with some of our key partners. I've instructed U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk to begin discussions to help resolve outstanding issues with the pending Korean Free Trade Agreement before my visit to Korea in November. It's an agreement that will create new jobs and opportunity for people in both of our countries.
We also want to deepen and broaden our relations with Panama and Colombia. So we're working to resolve outstanding issues with the free trade agreements with those key partners, and we're focused on submitting them as soon as possible for congressional consideration.
If President Obama's promise that these Free Trade Agreements (FTA) will create new jobs conjures up a sense of deja vu to those hearing these words, this is entirely explainable. In 1993 President Bill Clinton said of the signing of NAFTA:
We will make our case as hard and as well as we can. And, though the fight will be difficult, I deeply believe we will win. And I'd like to tell you why. First of all, because NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't support this agreement.
North American Free Trade Agreement's (NAFTA) Results
President Clinton could not have gotten it more wrong. According to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), the number of U.S. jobs created by export expansion in relation to the number of U.S. jobs lost to the growth of foreign imports because of NAFTA in its first ten years resulted in a net loss of 879,280 jobs. (See "NAFTA – Related Job Losses Have Piled Up Since 1993" by Robert E. Scott.) This is not to mention the downward pressure on U.S. workers' wages NAFTA created, which contributed to their relative stagnation since the mid 70s.
NAFTA allowed U.S. corporations to more easily move their investment funds across the Mexican/U.S. border to set up new production facilities, while closing down similar factories in the U.S. They were happy to do this because of Mexico's cheap wages and less regulated labor and environmental standards. This created huge profits for the business elite but resulted in deteriorating conditions for workers on both sides of the border. U.S. workers were forced to face wage cuts or unemployment, and Mexican workers lost their traditional jobs, and farms and were forced to work in near slave labor conditions in U.S. corporate facilities within the economic zones called maquiladoras.
NAFTA's free trade was a boon for Wall Street, but a bust for Main Street. President Obama is resurrecting President Clinton's failed promise of NAFTA's jobs creation in hopes of selling the public on the Korea, Colombia, and Panama FTAs. With nearly half of U.S. workers having lost a job or experienced a cut in wages since the recession started in 2007/2008, combined with a jobless "recovery," the need for jobs is first and foremost on U.S. workers' minds. However, this time around, after the experience of NAFTA, the promise of jobs creation comes off like a cheap gimmick used too many times, as if to sell a shoddy "lemon" used car as good coin. All three of the trade agreements Obama is pushing are modeled after NAFTA. There is absolutely no reason to expect different results when it comes to jobs creation.
