The Oscar nominated movie SPOTLIGHT is honored by The Los Angeles Press Club
"First of all, we chose to name the award 'Veritas' for the Latin word for truth– or more correctly for the elusive Roman goddess is known for her beauty and purity," said LA Press Club President Robert Kovacik, NBCLA Anchor, in describing a new LAPC award handed to the cast and crew of SPOTLIGHT. Kovacik moderated the Inaugural Veritas Award event, Thursday, Feb. 25, 2016, at the Steve Allen Theater, Hollywood. It was a unique peek behind the scenes with characters in the movie and the real Boston Globe writers and editors like Ben Bradlee, Jr., and Michael Rezendes.
SPOTLIGHT was written by Josh Singer and Tom McCarthy, who also directed it. "As journalists, our job is to find the truth following the path to her wherever it may lead and deliver to our readers and audience whatever her form may be– even when she is ugly or painful," they both said.
"I never thought it (the movie Spotlight) would become a reality," said Michael Rezendes, senior investigative reporter, Spotlight Team, The Boston Globe. "The producers approached us in 2008 and here we are in 2016, it took a long time to happen." Rezendes was asked about the image of reporters and if he thought this movie might boost that and call for more investigative writers and reporters? More on the full story here.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Retailers face a greater struggle now than ever before not just to attract customers to their bricks-and-mortar stores, but also to keep them there for longer and increase the chances of making a sale.
The same technology that makes it possible for consumers to shop online while on the go or at home, rather than having to rely solely on traditional stores, also makes it easier for consumers to be more efficient when they do decide to shop in a physical store. Anyone with an Internet connection can effectively pre-shop on one of the many sites that offer price comparisons, display store catalogs and highlight special deals. Armed with a smartphone, shoppers can do all of this while in the store to ensure they are in and out more quickly.
"New technologies have changed the dynamics of the shopping experience for many consumers and given them the tools to maximize their time," said Daniel Butler, vice president of retail operations for the National Retail Federation. "In some cases, you have consumers who are so well-educated in the store's selection that they actually know more than the person working there might."
It's not only that consumers have more technology on hand for shopping, but also that they have less time to shop in general. As Butler points out, it was more common several decades ago for families to have a single income earner, leaving time for the other adult in the household to run errands and shop at their leisure during the week.
But with more families having both parents work 9-to-5 jobs, there is less time for either of them to shop. Indeed, some households have seen their free time constrained further in recent years by the recession, as many workers have been forced to shoulder greater workloads and put in longer hours at the office.
From a consumer perspective, it might seem irrelevant whether you're in the store for five minutes or 30, as long as you make a purchase, but from a retailer's perspective, the longer you hang around, the more likely you are to buy additional products that you may have otherwise overlooked had you left the store sooner.
The great challenge for retailers going forward, then, will be to find ways to entice savvy shoppers to stay longer without feeling they wasted their time.
"If you get the customer to stay a few extra moments in the store and spend a little extra money, all while giving them what they wanted, then you've won," said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a marketing firm. "But if the customer leaves feeling they've wasted their time, then the retailer loses."
For that reason, retailers must be especially creative in finding ways both to attract customers and encouraging them to stay and spend. MainStreet spoke with several retail experts about steps that stores can take (and in many cases already do take) to entice their customers to stick around longer.

Peter Hambro Mining Terminates Ametistovoye Acquisition Process
29th December 2004
Peter Hambro Mining ("PHM") announces that it has informed the vendors of the
Ametistovoye deposit that it will not be progressing with its proposed
PHM announced in June 2004 that it had signed a memorandum of understanding in
relation to the proposed acquisition of the Ametistovoye deposit in Kamchatka,
in the Russian Far East, subject to further due diligence and contract.
Following this announcement, PHM's technical and geological teams have
undertaken substantial analysis of the deposit and subsequently reviewed
additional data acquired from another party.
The decision to now conclude due diligence and not proceed with the acquisition
follows the Board's analysis of the results of PHM's internal economic
evaluation which does not support PHM's further involvement at Ametistovoye.

The picture wasn't pretty for Craig Anderson or the Senators on Tuesday night.
While the Senators were showing off their new Bell HD screen at Scotiabank Place — that went black for the last 58 seconds — the season-high crowd of 20,500 witnessed an embarrassing effort by the No. 1 goalie in a 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Coming off one of his best performances of the season in a 2-1 OT loss on Friday to Carolina, Anderson was at his absolute worst and got the hook from coach Paul MacLean in the second after he surrendered four goals on seven shots.
Already ranked No. 35 overall with an .899 save percentage going into the game, Tuesday's effort isn't going to help Anderson's numbers.
"I got some unlucky bounces," said Anderson. "I thought we came out of the gate pretty good, took the lead and I didn't have the luck of the Irish. A couple of pucks off the post, off a skate, their guy. It's one of those nights where you need to make some better luck for yourself."
Only Jason Spezza and Zack Smith were able to beat Habs netminder Carey Price on the 33 shots he faced.
"We didn't have a terrible (first) period, we just gave up too many quality scoring chances," said Spezza. "We just found ourselves behind the 8-ball. They're a good team and it's tough to come back from a three-goal deficit."
Former Senators captain Randy Cunneyworth returned to his old haunt to pick up his first victory in five attempts as coach of the Habs. Erik Cole, P.K. Subban, Mike Cammalleri, Tomas Plekanec, Lars Eller and Louie Leblanc scored for Montreal.
Cunneyworth said it was nice to get the first win.
"It's a relief, but it's also a good feeling and a good start," said Cunneyworth. "Confidence will grow from this."
While fans were hoping to see Daniel Alfredsson score his 400th career goal playing on a line with the Milan Michalek and Spezza, it never materialized. The captain did pick up his 650th career assist on Spezza's goal.
Alfredsson had a couple of good chances to get his milestone marker. He had a point-blank shot on Price in the third, but the goalie was able to get his left pad on it. Alfredsson also had another opportunity late in the second, but Price made a sliding save.
That would have been the highlight of a lousy night.
MacLean yanked Anderson and banished him to the end of the bench only 2:03 into the second in favour of Alex Auld. That's when Anderson was beaten on the glove side by Leblanc.
Anderson gave up three goals on five shots in the first 20 minutes. The Habs took a 3-1 lead on the strength of Cammallari's seventh of the season at 15:25. All he had to do was pounce on a rebound and fire it into an open net by Anderson on the stick side.
Earlier, Plekanec made a great redirect on shot from the point to beat Anderson stick side at 12:39.
The worst goal Anderson gave up was a short-handed effort by Eller at 5:08. Eller beat him inside the post on the stick side with a wrist shot from the top of the circle. Earlier, Smith's 10th at 1:42 on a rebound gave the Senators a 1-0 lead.
MacLean wouldn't directly blame Anderson.
"Everybody (could have played better)," said MacLean. "I can't wait until Friday because I think our team usually responds. It's a resilient team and I'm excited about Friday (when the Senators will play host to the Flames)."
The Senators will hold their skills competition Wednesday at Scotiabank Place.

Neil Nitin Mukesh is disheartened. Over the entire weekend gone by, he was keeping his fingers crossed for his second film Aa Dekhen Zara to arrive in multiplexes all over the country. However, his prayers haven't quite been answered since premier multiplex chains across the country are still not screening the film.
"The multiplexes have cheated us in the last minute and are pressurizing us to give them a deal which is not possible", says Neil in a hurt tone.
Major multiplexes refused to screen Aa Dekhen Zara since they could not come to an agreement with Eros (producers of the film). This time around, the issue wasn't around revenue sharing terms but something else. Apparently, multiplexes wanted Eros to commit for Kambakht Ishq (Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor) and Love Aaj Kal (Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone) in advance before the release of Aa Dekhen Zara. However, Eros didn't want to break producers' unity and chose to talk only about Aa Dekhen Zara. This led to a deadlock between the two parties.
"But this is sheer arm twisting by the multiplexes", says a depressed Neil, "Why to bring in a movie into this kind of a loop when it is releasing before the 4th April onwards strike. This is really frustrating."
Well, his cry hasn't really been heard by the multiplexes since major chains like Big Cinemas, Cinemax, Fame Cinemas, Fun Cinemas, Inox Leisure, PVR Cinemas and Movietime have refused to play the film. As a result, the film has released only at single screens and some small/newer multiplexes.
"All I can tell people is that go watch it in a theatre near you because it is such a well-made film. Yes, it's a loss for all but you can help fill in this loss by being as united as we have been about our stand for the film", says Neil whose film has fetched average to decent reviews.
A few years back, Dhoom 2 too had faced an issue when it came to it's multiplex release. However, after a week, it had seen a full fledged release across all multiplexes throughout the country. Same happened for Tashan also a year back. One hopes that for Neil's sake, history repeats itself and Aa Dekhen Zara finally reaches out to it's audience.

AND FOR MAKING THIS EVENT POSSIBLE TONIGHT, MY DEAR FRIEND AND CAMPAIGN TREASURER FOR MANY YEARS, MIKE WEISS, TREASURER OF "BRAVO BROOKLYN" 2009The Daily News, which noted that Markowitz's speech lasted an hour and 15 minutes (vs. the 20-minute speech by Queens Borough President Helen Marshall), asked about the cost; a Markowitz spokesman said no numbers were available, but "his campaign inaugural committee, Bravo Brooklyn, would pick up the tab."
(Weiss is Executive Director of the MetroTech Business Improvement District, an organization with ties to MetroTech developer Forest City Ratner here's the only official mention I could find of Bravo Brooklyn.)
Following up
Credit the Daily News for following up and finding some notable numbers:
Most pols went for modest ceremonies in the poor economy, but Markowitz raised $122,000 for a State of the Borough address featuring singing, dancing and a multimedia production - plus food and beer for 1,600.
"Marty's famous for finding every opportunity to host big events on behalf of Brooklyn and not incidentally on behalf of Marty," said David Birdsell, dean of Baruch College's School of Public Affairs. "The question is whether it's politically useful. It would seem perhaps the least prudent time in recent memory to launch a big celebration of someone's ascension to office."
...Many Markowitz contributors - mostly Brooklyn developers and business owners - gave him the maximum contribution of $3,850 for his campaign and then ponied up another maximum $3,500 for his inauguration.
While none of the other Borough Presidents spent similarly, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and Comptroller John Liu are also raised some big sums, according to the Daily News.

Jessica Simpson wore a little black jumper on stage at MSG last night. She joked that she chose the loose outfit since during past shows in the stadium, her pants have split when she squats to hit a note. Jessica's ability to make fun of herself is part of why people fell in love with her watching Newlyweds, though this may just bring up all the recent controversy again. Watch the video below from last night, and tell us — do you appreciate Jessica Simpson's self-deprecating sense of humor?
Join The Conversation
Self-deprecation is always appreciated!
she walks like she just got off a horse..
jaan, actually tony has been vocal about the stupidity about her being "fat" but of course pop doesnt display it, he said he doesnt care what size she is he loves her regardless
its seems like popsugar has it out for jessica simpson for some od reason. Like seriously jessica is harmless lets move onto some real interesting gossip please. And keep the "secret" jessica simpson hatred to yourself popsugar.
Jessica Simpson has always humiliated/reduced herself to make people like her. She played the dumb, blonde bimbo role (in THIS day and age) just to get the world to appreciate her on that reality show, and now she continues to ridicule and send off the message that women do not deserve respect. Maybe she really is a dumb, souless ho with nothing to offer, all the more reason for the public to not have to deal with her every day! With her complete lack of talent/display of brains, she's brought all of her criticism apon on herself.
Who cares what she's wearing! The girl will do anything to draw attention to herself!
She's talking about pants she isn't dissing herself. It's not negative at all.
I'm starting to love her lol...she looks fabulous, her legs are hot and she's enjoying life...looking hot...wonder where her boyfriend is but then again who cares
honestly, she knows the situation with her self these days and i think that it's fine that she's able to laugh about it all. i like her more these days and to see that she's really trying to be above all the chatter is something nice.
It doesn't seem like she's talking about her weight to me either.
Ok, honestly I don't see the big deal. Don't think she's necessarily talking about her weight, but maybe I'm missing something. Either way, not a big deal.

Magical Moments
Why Wittenberg Matters
As the year draws to a close, my thoughts turn toward Commencement – that magical day each year when we see our seniors cross the stage to receive their Wittenberg diplomas. In that moment, I wish I could have all alumni and friends of Wittenberg with me to marvel at the transformation that has occurred in the lives of each and every graduate. Like me, you would be reminded of the incredible difference our faculty and staff make in the lives of our young people – becoming their mentors, friends and yes, family. We change lives every day here, and the results of our collective efforts reveal themselves in what I like to call "magical moments" – those times that unquestionably affirm the enduring quality and value of a Wittenberg education. Commencement is one of those moments, but there are many, many others.
This spring provided ample opportunities to experience "magical moments," but perhaps the two most memorable occurred within the same 24-hour period. The first was a Friday evening concert, the final Wittenberg Choir Home Concert under the direction of Don Busarow. The evening began with a packed Weaver Chapel rising to its feet to provide a spontaneous standing ovation for this much beloved professor. The evening ended with nearly 200 alumni proceeding to the front of Weaver Chapel to sing "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" shoulder-to-shoulder with the current choir members. They then surrounded the chapel and sang the benediction. The beautiful music, the interplay of choir members old and new, and the emotion of the moment brought me to tears, as it did my wife. It was, indeed, a magical moment. Lin and I joined the alumni and choir in the CDR for fellowship and fun, and then wandered across campus to our home, tired but inspired.
The next morning, I spoke to a gathering of prospective students, stopped by the lacrosse game and a tennis match and then journeyed up the hill to Hollenbeck Hall to join in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the East Asian Studies program. Wittenberg is blessed with an East Asian Studies program with a history, reach and impact that is very unusual for a college of our size. The focus of the celebration on Saturday
was to honor the three pillars of the program – distinguished professors Gene Swanger, Jim Huffman and Stan Mickel. Alumni traveled from as far away as Japan and Mexico to pay tribute to these three extraordinary men who have shaped the lives of literally generations of Wittenberg graduates. As speaker after speaker came forward to tell stories about how Gene, Stan, or Jim had changed their life in a professional or personal sense, Lin and I again were overwhelmed with emotion. One simply could not listen to these tributes and fail to be profoundly moved by the impact these three individuals have had on the trajectory of so many lives. As we walked home arm-in-arm, Lin and I looked at each other in wonderment and appreciation at all we had experienced in the last 24 hours and how blessed we felt to be at a place that matters.
Magical moments like these are part of the fabric of Wittenberg, and sometimes I fear we take them for granted. Not every place has this "magic" or finds opportunities (often spontaneous) to celebrate the deep richness of the learning that occurs in their midst. I would ask each of you to take a moment to reflect on these "moments" in your own life and thank those who have changed your life. I suspect many of those thanks will include this professor or that staff member at Wittenberg who reached out to you. The two moments I have described and many others are captured in this issue of the Wittenberg Magazine, as are the many accomplishments of our seniors, recent graduates, and even some of us who are a little older.
Just as I experienced these two "magical moments," I have also experienced a flood of good news recently, receiving a series of e-mails and announcements regarding the accomplishments of our students and our recent graduates. Together they provide a mosaic of accomplishments that would make any college president smile.
l First, I learned that three members of the campus community, professors Heather Wright and George Hudson and senior student Valerie O'Brien, were selected as Fulbright Scholars. This marks the fifth year in a row that at least one Wittenberg undergraduate has received this prestigious award.
l I I also learned that Nick Del Grosso '10 was awarded a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, a distinction most often awarded to graduates of research universities. Over the next four years, Nick will receive more than $40,000 a year ($160,000) to support his education.
l For the second year in a row, a Wittenberg senior, Nate Peters, has been named a recipient of a National Security Education Program (NSEP) Boren Scholarship. Nate, a Russian Area Studies major, will study in Russia throughout the coming 2010-11 academic year.
l Then there is theatre major Karl Miller '01 who won the Helen Hayes Award for best resident actor, sharing that prestigious honor with veteran classical actor Stacy Keach.
l And Wittenberg alumna and psychology major Lindsey Short '08 recently received the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, cosponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The Vanier Scholarship is valued at $50,000 per year for three years.
So, it has been another memorable semester at Wittenberg with plenty to smile about and even some tears (mostly the good kind). It has been a challenging year to be sure, but it has, as always, included its share of "magical moments" and extraordinary accomplishments. Together, they serve as a powerful reminder that the heart of Wittenberg's mission remains strong and is worthy of our collective support. We change lives, and I hope your reflections at this time of year help each of you to renew your efforts to be a positive force in the lives of Wittenberg students, in your own family and in your community.
Warm regards,
Mark H. Erickson, President

I am really sad today we traded my favorite player.I will miss you Fonzie all class great ball player and even better leader and teammate I will really miss him. With that said glad we traded him so Junior will stay in the bigs and get to play every day. We need him to struggle and get his adjustments in this year. So in 2-3 years he will be ready for the next good team.
I really wish we would of traded Fonsie to Texas or Oakland or just anywhere he could make the playoffs. I don'ts see the Yankee's making it hope I am wrong. I like the haul we got for Garza, but only time will tell if they pan out.
How about Junior Lake great energy, but man he swings at a lot of junk. I hope he keeps up his high level of play dude looks like a Line Backer out there.
only a few more days of school until I have two weeks off. I think I will be living at Wrigley for two weeks. I am looking forward to seeing some baseball.

And we've got the perfect collection of e-books for those of you who have already hit the road and those of you who are still in the planning (or just dreaming) stages. From Alaska to Paris, Tuscany to Charleston, take the e-book express to these great destinations for just $1.99 apiece now through July 31, 2013.
A Thousand Days in Tuscany by Marlena de Blasi: American chef Marlena de Blasi and her Venetian husband, Fernando, married rather late in life. In search of the rhythms of country living, the couple moves to a barely renovated former stable in Tuscany with no phone, no central heating, and something resembling a playhouse kitchen. They dwell among two hundred villagers, ancient olive groves, and hot Etruscan springs. In this patch of earth where Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio collide, there is much to feed de Blasi's two passions–food and love. We accompany the couple as they harvest grapes, gather chestnuts, forage for wild mushrooms, and climb trees in the cold of December to pick olives, one by one. Their routines are not that different from those of villagers centuries earlier.
They are befriended by the mesmeric Barlozzo, a self-styled village chieftain. His fascinating stories lead de Blasi more deeply inside the soul of Tuscany. Together they visit sacred festivals and taste just-pressed olive oil, drizzled over roasted country bread, and squash blossoms, battered and deep-fried and sprayed with sea-salted water. In a cauldron set over a wood fire, they braise beans in red wine, and a stew of wild boar simmers overnight in the ashes of their hearth. Barlozzo shares his knowledge of Italian farming traditions, ancient health potions, and artisanal food makers, but he has secrets he doesn't share, and one of them concerns the beautiful Floriana, whose illness teaches Marlena that happiness is truly a choice.
Like the pleasurable tastes and textures of a fine meal, A Thousand Days in Tuscany is as satisfying as it is enticing. The author's own recipes are included.
The e-book of A Thousand Days in Tuscany includes a FREE preview of A Thousand Days in Venice.

New Orleans, Mon Amour by Andrei Codrescu: For two decades NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu has been living in and writing about his adopted city, where, as he puts it, the official language is dreams. How apt that a refugee born in Transylvania found his home in a place where vampires roam the streets and voodoo queens live around the corner; where cemeteries are the most popular picnic spots, the ghosts of poets, prostitutes, and pirates are palpable, and in the French Quarter, no one ever sleeps.
Codrescu's essays have been called "satirical gems," "subversive," "sardonic and stunning," "funny," "gonzo," "wittily poignant," and "perverse"—here is a writer who perfectly mirrors the wild, voluptuous, bohemian character of New Orleans itself. This retrospective follows him from newcomer to near native: first seduced by the lush banana trees in his backyard and the sensual aroma of coffee at the café down the block, Codrescu soon becomes a Window Gang regular at the infamous bar Molly's on Decatur, does a stint as King of Krewe de Vieux Carré at Mardi Gras, befriends artists, musicians, and eccentrics, and exposes the city's underbelly of corruption, warning presciently about the lack of planning for floods in a city high on its own insouciance. Alas, as we all now know, Paradise is lost.
New Orleans, Mon Amour is an epic love song, a clear-eyed elegy, a cultural celebration, and a thank-you note to New Orleans in its Golden Age.
You can buy the New Orleans, Mon Amour e-book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBookstore, Google, and Kobo.
Paris Was Ours by Penelope Rowlands: Paris is "the world capital of memory and desire," concludes one of the writers in this intimate and insightful collection of memoirs of the city. Living in Paris changed these writers forever.
In thirty-two personal essays—more than half of which are here published for the first time—the writers describe how they were seduced by Paris and then began to see things differently. They came to write, to cook, to find love, to study, to raise children, to escape, or to live the way it's done in French movies; they came from the United States, Canada, and England; from Iran, Iraq, and Cuba; and—a few—from other parts of France. And they stayed, not as tourists, but for a long time; some are still living there. They were outsiders who became insiders, who here share their observations and revelations. Some are well-known writers: Diane Johnson, David Sedaris, Judith Thurman, Joe Queenan, and Edmund White. Others may be lesser known but are no less passionate on the subject.
Together, their reflections add up to an unusually perceptive and multifaceted portrait of a city that is entrancing, at times exasperating, but always fascinating. They remind us that Paris belongs to everyone it has touched, and to each in a different way.

Very New Orleans by Diana Hollingsworth Gessler: The exquisite antebellum mansions of the Garden District. Giant oaks stretching across boulevards and back in time to before the Civil War.

Lacy iron balconies that wrap around the historic buildings of the French Quarter. A leisurely meal under a canopy of wisteria.

The Broadway fall season got off to an uninspiring start this past week with the opening of A Tale of Two Cities, the Les Miserables knockoff that premiered a year ago at the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota.
New York critics were not kind to the Dickensian musical, with book, music and lyrics by Jill Santoriello. The Wall Street Journal called it "a revolutionary bore'' and the New York Times dismissed it as "lumpish'' and "the son of Les Miz.'' The show drew enthusiastic audiences in its tryout last fall at the Asolo, but the lack of originality was a problem then and obviously remains one.
That opening aside, there's still a buzz on Broadway this fall, thanks to some Hollywood star power.
On Thursday, Daniel Radcliffe leaves aside Harry Potter to star (and briefly appear nude) in Equus, Peter Shaffer's homoerotic psychodrama about a disturbed stable boy who blinds six horses. Richard Griffiths — Harry's mean uncle in the movies — plays the boy's psychiatrist. It's at the Broadhurst Theatre.
St. Petersburg's Patrick Wilson is in the revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, which started in previews late last week and opens Oct. 16. Scientology favorite (and Mrs. Tom Cruise) Katie Holmes makes her Broadway debut as Wilson's fiancee. Husband Tom was, predictably, gushy about his wife's performance at a preview he attended Thursday night.
When asked for his verdict on Holmes' performance, Cruise stopped for a moment while moving through the crowd at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, telling the Associated Press: "Did you see it? ... It was extraordinary."
Other Broadway openings this fall include a pair of musicals adapted from movies: Billy Elliot, about an English boy from a coal mining family who dreams of becoming a dancer, with a score by Elton John, Nov. 13 at the Imperial Theatre; and Shrek, with Brian d'Arcy James as the green one, Dec. 14 at the Broadway Theatre.
Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) plays the role originated by Madonna in a revival of Speed-the-Plow, David Mamet's three-character play about Hollywood operators that also stars Jeremy Piven (Entourage) and Raul Esparza. It opens Oct. 23 at the Barrymore Theatre.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Last week I profiled 16 retail-oriented companies pre-earnings on Dec. 2 and Wednesday. Today I provide a scorecard for the eight that did not go to the earnings woodshed. Discount retailer Dollar General (DG) beat earnings estimates and traded to a new all-time intra-day high at $61.20 on Monday. Investors went nuts as Diamond Foods (DMND) beat estimates and set a 52-week intra-day high at $26.23 on Friday. The other winner was Mattress Firm (MFRM) which beat estimates and popped above its 200-day simple moving average at $36.24 trading as high as $41.83 on Friday.
Among the 16 stocks I profiled last Monday and Wednesday, only four traded higher by Monday's close, but the gain for Jos. A Bank (JOSB) was just 0.2%. The other four in today's scorecard lost between 0.4% and 4.0%. On Monday I wrote, Ulta Salon, Krispy Kreme, Express Lead Retailers to Earnings Woodshed and this group of eight fell in price by 7.1% to 25% into Friday's closes.
Among the eight stocks in today's post, four have buy ratings, three have hold ratings and one has a strong sell rating. Among the six with valuations three are overvalued by 29.2% to 43.4%. All eight have price gains of 30.9% to 95.8% over the last 12 months. All eight are above their 200-day SMAs indicating the risk of a reversion to the mean.

The buy rated stock popped above its 50-day SMA at $58.17 setting a new multi-year intra-day high at $61.20 on Monday and up 8.1% since Dec.3. The discount retailer is 17.2% overvalued and has gained 31.2% over the last 12 months and has been above its 200-day SMA now at $54.02 since March 20. My monthly and semiannual value levels are $58.77 and $56.97 with my quarterly risky level at $62.53.
Diamond Foods ($26.01 vs. $23.41 on Dec. 3) beat EPS estimates by a penny earning 18 cents a share in the afterhours on Thursday. The hold rated stock set a new 52-week intra-day high at $26.23 on Friday ending Monday up 11.1% since Dec. 3. The distributor of nuts such as peanuts, cashews, walnuts and almonds is 43.4% overvalued and has gained 95.4% over the last 12 months and has been above its 200-day SMA now at $19.80 since June 10. My monthly pivot is $25.33 with weekly risky level at $26.98.
Isle Of Capri Casinos (ISLE) ($8.05 vs. $8.13 on Nov. 29) missed EPS estimates by 11 cents reporting a loss of 17 cents a share in the premarket on Dec. 5. The hold rated stock was downgraded to strong sell but stayed above its 200-day SMA at $7.49 down just 1.0% since Nov. 29. The owner of branded gaming and lodging establishments is 11.4% overvalued and has gained 58.8% over the last 12 months. My annual value level is $5.54 with monthly and quarterly risky levels at $8.08 and $8.35.

Students with a medical need will need to have appropriate medical documentation received and reviewed by the Student Life Office in Martin-Brock Student Center as soon as possible. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the request and an opportunity for further documentation should it be deemed necessary. If approved, appropriate accommodations will be made. This approval must be renewed each year. All paperwork must be completed by March 1 for returning students going through Room Draw.
Single-Room Housing
Single-room requests will be considered when accompanied by appropriate medical documentation indicating such an assignment will assist a student in his or her self-management of a disability. Specific documentation criteria applies and letters from professionals who are blood relatives of the student will not be accepted. Decisions regarding single-room accommodation are made on a case-by-case basis. The College reserves the right to make final decisions regarding all single-room requests for accommodation purposes. The College may require additional information for a single-room request iit finds insubstantially supported.
Documentation Supporting Single Room Requests
A letter from a qualified professional (e.g., physician, psychiatrist, psychologist) must describe the date of diagnosis, assessment (labs, etc.), treatment plan, patient response, and prognosis. The Student Life Office may request further medical notes when deemed necessary. In addition, the letter must specifically state why a single room is necessary for the patient's health. Students must provide written release for College officials to discuss medical recommendations with a student's medical professional(s). In all cases, the College expects students to adhere to the treatment recommendations of professionals.
Single-room accommodations are not automatically transferable from one academic year to the next and new medical documentation stating student progress is necessary for each request.
Questions regarding accommodations for special needs should be directed to Jimmy Whited, Director of Housing at .
A service animal is defined as any dog that is individually trained to do work, provide assistance, or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Examples might include providing visual guidance, pulling a wheelchair, assisting during a seizure, alerting to the presence of allergens, retrieving items, and providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals with disabilities may use service animals in any public area unless doing so would pose a danger to the health or safety of others or cause undue burden. Individuals with disabilities who use a service animal on campus are not required to register with Disability Services, but individuals who wish to have a service animal in student housing must make a formal request for this accommodation with the Director of Housing. Trained dogs are the only species of animal that may qualify as service animals under ADA (there is a separate provision regarding trained miniature horses).
A therapy animal is defined as any animal with a primary role of providing emotional comfort to a person with a disability. These animals are not required to undergo specialized training. Therapy animals are not the same as service animals in that they are not individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. A request to have a therapy animal in campus housing is considered a request for accommodation and will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Please note that this accommodation is for campus housing only and, if granted, does not allow the therapy animal access to any buildings/areas, except campus housing.
Care and Supervision
According to Virginia law, any animal that has reached a proper level of maturity must be licensed and must display a license on its collar at all times.
Animals on campus must have an annual clean bill of health (including vaccinations and immunity shots against rabies and/or other diseases common to the type of animal) that is signed by a licensed veterinarian and a copy must be submitted to the Director of Housing. A valid vaccination tag must be worn by the animal at all times. Owners need to make sure that the animal is kept as clean as possible. Regular bathing/grooming and pest control measures also need to be performed and are the responsibility of the owner.
A request to have a therapy animal in campus housing is considered a request for an accommodation. All such requests should be made at least 30 days in advance and will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Individuals making such requests must establish that they experience a documented disability and that the animal is indeed providing essential therapeutic benefit related to the documented disability. Documentation should be submitted to the Director of Housing and it will be forwarded to the College's Disability Coordinator.
Appeal Process
Any individual who wishes to challenge a decision reached by the College's Disability Coordinator may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty. Such appeals must be in writing. If this appeal is denied, you may not use the animal for the requested service on campus.
If you have already signed a contract for College housing when a request for use of an animal is denied, you can request to be released from the housing requirement by completing an off campus housing request form and submitting it to the Director of Housing.

Welcome to Friday's edition of our Brussels Briefing. To receive it every morning in your email in-box, sign up here.
Almost since the day it retook power in October, Poland's Law and Justice government has courted controversy over policies party boss Jaroslaw Kaczynski has said are part of a plan to "fix" the country. At the centre of the squabbling has been a law passed in December that overhauls the way Warsaw's constitutional court operates, changes that critics say limits its ability to strike down government policies it finds objectionable.
The law has drawn scrutiny from Brussels, which launched its first-ever review of a member's government for possible violations of the EU's "fundamental values" after the measure was passed. The Council of Europe's Venice Commission, which was asked to review the law as well, came down hard on Warsaw in a draft decision that was leaked to a Polish newspaper. This week it was the turn of the court itself, which ruled that the laws curbing its powers were unconstitutional. But in a decision that stunned many, Poland's prime minister, Beata Szydlo, announced she would not allow the court's ruling to be officially published, meaning it will not be enforceable. "This is not a judgement, it is a political position," said Poland's foreign minister. Read more

Federal Tax Policy Towards Energy
On Aug. 8, 2005, President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (PL 109-58). This was the first major piece of energy legislation enacted since 1992 following five years of Congressional efforts to pass energy legislation. Among other things, the law contains tax incentives worth over $14 billion between 2005 and 2015. These incentives represent both pre-existing initiatives that the law extends as well as new initiatives. In this paper I survey federal tax energy policy focusing both on programs that affect energy supply and demand. I briefly discuss the distributional and incentive impacts of many of these incentives. In particular, I make a rough calculation of the impact of tax incentives for domestic oil production on world oil supply and prices and find that the incentives for domestic production have negligible impact on world supply or prices despite the United States being the third largest oil producing country in the world. Finally, I present results from a model of electricity pricing to assess the impact of the federal tax incentives directed at electricity generation. I find that nuclear power and renewable electricity sources benefit substantially from accelerated depreciation and that the production and investment tax credits make clean coal technologies cost competitive with pulverized coal and wind and biomass cost competitive with natural gas.

Not willing to give up his love of fishing, kayaking, scuba diving and hunting, Shorty established Turning Point to assure that outdoor activities were readily available to people with many types of physical challenges. Turning Point is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization designed to teach people with mobility impairments the skills necessary to fully enjoy the outdoors, and to provide free or low cost activities. Turning Point provides the encouragement and support needed for people who have major physical challenges in life to fully participate in the adventure of living. --- On the Net: http://www.turningpointnation.org/ -30-

Three eaglets confirmed in Stony Creek nest

Three eaglets sit in the bald eagle nest at Stony Creek Metropark May 8.
Three eaglets sit in the bald eagle nest at Stony Creek Metropark May 8.
The eaglets are visible in their nest May 10.
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — During the evening May 5, Joan Bonin decided to shoot one last video of the bald eagle nest located off Stony Creek Metropark's Inwood Trails and captured something unexpected.
Along with the two known eaglets, a third, smaller bird reared its head for a taste of prey from its mother.
"(The older two eaglets') heads were right there together, and it went on for a minute. Then, the third head popped up," Bonin said. "I tell you, it was the most exciting and thrilling thing I think I've ever seen. My heart just fluttered."
On May 9, she said the newest addition is "but a fluffy ball of yellow." She said either the adults are keeping it separated from its bigger siblings or it is choosing to do so.
The middle eaglet, she said, is a grayish yellow and hangs out with the oldest sibling, and while she said she's seen them pick at each other, it doesn't appear to be anything serious.
The oldest is darker gray, apparently molting, and no longer looks like a newly hatched chick, Bonin said.
"Mom and Dad continue walking around with talons all balled up, (which is) hard walking for them, and I frequently see them catch their balance when taking a misstep," she said. The parents ball up their talons so as not to injure the eaglets. "They are doting parents. I feel confident all three little ones will survive."
Bonin, a "serious amateur photographer" for the last 35-plus years, said she began following the Stony Creek eagles after a chance encounter with the male adult eagle on April 2, 2013, near the bridge on 28 Mile Road, between Mount Vernon and Mound roads.
She discovered that the eagle resided in Stony Creek with its mate. The couple raised one eaglet last year, which made headlines throughout Macomb County.
Now, Bonin is at the 10-foot tall, several-hundred-pound nest every day, if she can, and at least every other day.
"It's addictive," she said. "We were so thrilled to have one last year, and now we have three. What an adventure this is going to be to watch these guys grow up."
Ruth Glass, Stony Creek Metropark's volunteer bird expert, said she was surprised that the little eagle heads were visible on Monday and that she had believed it would've been another week.
However, she said she is concerned that there are three offspring.
"Even though they're good parents, survivability in the third bird in the case of raptors in general is something less than 50 percent," Glass said.
The third bird, she said, is at a disadvantage because its siblings are larger and stronger, since eagle eggs are laid and hatched several days apart.
"Typically, when the parent flies up to the nest, the bigger birds lunge toward the food and the smaller one has trouble getting enough food," she said. "Eaglets are also notorious for picking on each other, so there's a double whammy there."
Glass estimated that the birds hatched around Easter weekend and, according to her calculations, would be able to fly the nest around the Fourth of July, almost 11 weeks later.
"Seriously — that's really weird," she said in a phone interview moments after calculating the fledge date. "(The holiday is about) independence, and here we have the great American symbol."
The next notable date, she said, would be their banding by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
The Stony Creek eagle nest is on the high priority list of young to band this year, Glass said — one of few nests in the state.
She said the Stony Creek eagle nest is the only one in the Clinton River watershed, so the test results would provide environmental implications regarding toxins and the state of the area.
The adult eagles, she added, are doing great. Because of warmer temperatures, they both leave the nest to hunt at the same time.
One incident, captured in photographs by Mark Scarlett, caught many birders' attention.
Around 7 p.m. April 18, Scarlett had his telescopic camera lens focused on the eagle nest when a large juvenile eagle flew near the nest and tried to land. He said the adult eagles had to chase it off several times before it left.
Good Friday was also the day Glass believes the first eaglet hatched.
Glass said that, while it is not possible to be certain, she believes the juvenile eagle is the eaglet the couple reared last year.
"My gut feeling is that it was her," she said. "I can't imagine another eagle fly up and go park itself in a nest it doesn't know."
Glass said word of the eaglets spread like wildfire, and a large volume of regular birders and newly interested individuals have frequented the wetland trail loop, located off the Stony Creek Metropark Nature Center's Habitat Trail.
"It's actually a good thing to have increased traffic because it's less likely that somebody will violate the barrier when other people are there watching," she said. "I think the public should come out and enjoy it. (The eaglets) are a very special treat that should be appreciated while they're here."
Nesting season will last until September, and the eastern half of the wetland loop trail has been closed since Feb. 26
The USFWS maintains that 220 yards — an eighth of a mile — is the absolute closest distance permissible to a bald eagle nest site. Encroachment or disturbance violations typically carry a $5,000 fine.
The USFWS and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources recommend a viewing distance of 440 yards — a quarter of a mile.

Speaking at the "Helicopter Operations" seminar today at ABACE 2014, Bell Helicopter China managing director Chris Jaran said the helicopter fleet in China has grown by an average of 20 percent annually from 2009 through 2014, to 465 aircraft from 227. The Chinese rotorcraft fleet is 35 percent piston-powered and 65 percent turbine, he noted.
Half of China's helicopter fleet is equipped for multi-mission capabilities, the most popular being disaster relief. Helicopter owners and operators are altruistic and want their machines to be available to help people during the next disaster, according to Jaran.
He said the improving regulatory environment for general aviation in China has had a significant effect on the helicopter industry, with most airspace below 1,000 meters now available for flight operations. By next year, Jaran added, only a small number of military zones will be inaccessible, with the vast majority of low-altitude airspace open. "In some cases there will be no need to get approval to fly after filing a flight plan," he pointed out.
China has also adapted its private pilot licensing regulations to align more closely with U.S. requirements, a move intended to promote growth of the pilot population. Other regulatory easing is under way to allow more maritime search-and-rescue, patrol and oil-and-gas operations, Jaran said.

New York -- In a Tuesday night address at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. president and CEO Mike Duke didn't shy away from discussing the fiscal cliff, saying that the current debate is having a negative impact on consumer spending.
"A week before the election, only 25% of our core customers even knew what fiscal cliff meant," Duke said. "One week after the election, it was up to 75%. Now, [among] these same customers, 15% are telling us this discussion about the fiscal cliff will affect what they spend on Christmas."
Duke described Walmart customers' economic and financial conditions as "fragile." He said he shared his customers' thoughts with President Barack Obama a week after the election, and since the president was interested in hearing more about how Wal-Mart shoppers were feeling, he has continued to share this polling data with the administration.

1 equity: an overview
In law, the term equity refers to a particular set of remedies and associated procedures. These equitable doctrines and procedures are distinguished from "legal" ones. Equitable relief is generally available only when a legal remedy is insufficient or inadequate in some way. This could be when a claim involves a particular piece of real estate, or if specific performance is the relief requested by the plaintiff.
The distinction arose in England where there were separate courts of law and of equity. Following this pattern in America some states created "chancery courts" dealing with equitable relief only. In other states, the courts of common law were empowered to exercise equity jurisdiction. Separate courts of chancery have largely been abolished and the same court that may fashion a legal remedy has the power to prescribe an equitable one.

Promise to be roving ambassador withdrawn
DI YERBURY'S final year at Macquarie University, an institution she had dominated completely as vice-chancellor for 19 years, was spent on a controversial sabbatical leave.
Instead of being a triumphal time preparing a paper on how the university had prospered over the past two decades, the sabbatical turned into a series of humiliating and fraught encounters with the man who succeeded her, Steven Schwartz.
In documents the Herald obtained under freedom of information laws, Professor Yerbury complained to an acting vice-chancellor on September 13 last year (Professor Schwartz was overseas) that the new vice-chancellor had reneged on a promise to make her the university's international ambassador throughout 2006: "Professor Schwartz told me in October 2005 (and again in January 2006) that he did not wish to travel much in his first year, and suggested that I could be of very valuable assistance to him in this proposed role by representing him overseas. I gladly accepted this invitation."
Professor Yerbury wanted only to make sure it did not cut across a prior arrangement she had to continue as an arts and cultural co-ordinator at the university.
Both roles were formally withdrawn without notice by Professor Schwartz in September.
Professor Yerbury's lawyers complained to the university's lawyers on October 9, 2006: "We find it exceedingly strange that our client should be treated in such a shoddy and high-handed way by the university which she has faithfully served …"
