Marco "No Earmarks" Rubio tied to $250-mil in pork spending requests
Republican U.S. Senate front-runner Marco Rubio brags on his Web site that he didn't officially request budget pork in his last four years as a leader in the Florida House. But during Rubio's eight years in office — including the final two when he was House speaker — he unofficially helped push loads of hometown spending: $250 million, according to a Times/Herald analysis of little-known budget documents. (STORY HERE)
The budget items linked to Rubio from 2000 to 2008 are part of a list compiled yearly by the governor's office to track hometown spending. Most of Rubio's budget items benefited his home county of Miami-Dade — from a $50,000 grant sought for a Coral Gables park to $80 million for a University of Miami genomics project. A total of $25 million in requests were vetoed by the governor.
The amount of budget money connected to Rubio attests to his skill as a lawmaker but also contrasts with his campaign image as a tight-fisted spending hawk crusading against "earmarks'' that have plagued the budget process in Washington....
...Word of the turkey list only surfaced this year as Gov. Charlie Crist has battled Rubio for the Republican Senate primary. Big government spending has emerged as a top issue for Republicans this election year, with Crist and Rubio battling over who spent more taxpayer money.
Crist had budget priorities of his own: $222,000 for a personal videographer and $7.5 million for a government institute at his hometown St. Petersburg College, where his sister worked. Both items were in 2007....
Big government spending has emerged as a top issue for Republicans this election year, with Crist and Rubio battling over who spent more taxpayer money. The list shows that Crist didn't veto much from Rubio --just $3 million.
(Rubio spokesman Albert) Martinez said the entire turkey list is suspect because it is maintained by Crist's Office of Policy & Budget.

Redhawk, what was the product number and destination zip code, please? I did a random order in a Las Vegas zip code for 9mm +P ammunition and had no problem.
My zip is 89149 in NW Las vegas, it was a while ago, I don't know why I brought it up so late. not a big deal, I just thought it was stupid at the time.
I still do business with Midway because they usually have everything I need or want in stock unlike SportsmanGuide on a single order to save on shipping , but I get a lot of good deals on a lot of stuff being a member of there club. Like today, I get free shipping no minimal order. To bad I don't need anything today (or do I?). LOL
Like some things you have in stock (SMG doesn't) is speed strips and a recoil buffer for my Glock 20 about $17+around $10 shipping worths, but the shipping kills the deal, so I usually have to piggybag stuff like that on a bigger order. Sucks to have just about everything I need, I just hate shipping fee's for small stuff, so I wait.

Don't be a Halloweenie—collaborate with your salespeople
Don't be a Halloweenie—collaborate with your salespeople
It's a dark and stormy night...and up to 90% of the sales support content created by marketing departments for use in the field hasn't been touched by salespeople in nearly a year.
According to a new survey from B2B consulting firm Corporate Visions, one in three marketers isn't collaborating with sales when it comes to developing their business materials.
Right about now, perhaps you're thinking: 'Surely my sales reps are using the approved sales content with potential clients.' Tim Riesterer, chief strategy and marketing officer for Corporate Visions, says to prepare yourself for a little heartbreak.
"I'd challenge people who don't think that's true to go look at their own sales content websites—the results could be pretty creepy," Riesterer says. "It's like bringing a skeleton out of the closet, the closet being your sales content portal or website."
So, what are the dangers of non-collaborative message creation? At the very least, marketing might be wasting its time. At worst, prospects and customers aren't hearing what they need to hear to convert. Most messaging focuses on being clever—on what Riesterer calls the "ta-da!" method—which often doesn't work because it puts salespeople in the position where they have to say things that don't sound natural in front of customers.
"Just because something is catchy in a direct mail piece, doesn't mean a salesperson is going to be comfortable using it," Riesterer says. "Marketing does all this direct marketing, but then the salespeople are taking the conversation off in a different direction, so there's not consistency between the work marketing does and the hand-off to sales."
Most messaging goes on and on about "me, me, me"—as in the company talks about itself and its cool new products instead of listening to customers and putting those products in context for them. If customers have certain needs, gaps, or deficiencies in their company, they're going to need the right product. They'll need to know how a solution will work for them and their particular story. What they don't need is a lengthy sales pitch about why your product is better than your competitor's product. That's relevant—but not on the first date.
"If the first thing you talk about on a date is how much money you make, what car you drive, what cologne you wear, and this is what 10 other women said about me—that's not going to fly," Riesterer (left) says. "If you only lead with things about yourself on the first date, how's the other person supposed to feel?"
It seems like salespeople would be the obvious go-to when marketing departments are looking to craft messaging. Salespeople are in the field every day. They have their fingers on the old pulse out there. So why aren't they being brought into the fold?
Often, it's a case of expediency. Marketing departments are usually working on deadline, so they don't have time for variable input from sales reps working on different time tables. It's also easier just to tell the reps what to do, says Riesterer, who notes: "Dictatorship is the most efficient form of government."
Salespeople themselves are also often loathe to participate, Riesterer says.
"They've usually been asked lots of stuff in the past, and then it goes into this black hole and it never gets used and they don't know why they were asked or involved," he says. "They're reticent to give their time because they haven't seen it turn into something useful before."
Not to mention the fact that marketing people and salespeople sometimes have very different personality types. Salespeople are often rather opinionated and marketing people don't always appreciate how tasks in the sales cycle work, Riesterer says.
"In the spirit of Halloween, marketers are afraid of salespeople," he says. "They don't know what to ask, and they don't want to look like they're not strategic in front of them."
That said, working together isn't an option—it's a necessity. Riesterer suggests creating a collaborative environment where sales and marketing can get together and identify key customer pain points to create less product-oriented, and more customer-centric, messaging that works for everyone—especially sales, your B2B company's ambassador.
"Create the environment where people will realize why they need your solution, and think about having sales involved so they can help you frame that story," Riesterer says. "We're on the B2B side, where the salesperson with lips moving is still a value-added part of the decision-making process. Toothpaste, cereal, potato chips—that's a whole other discipline."
And now, a Halloween joke for you.
Q: What would you call the ghost of a door-to-door salesman?
A: A dead ringer.

Killeen Daily Herald
A new upscale little row of shops on East Stan Schlueter Loop gets its formal inauguration with a series of ribbon-cuttings Monday morning.
Officials of the Greater Killeen and Harker Heights chambers of commerce will take their giant ceremonial scissors from one door to the next at the Shops on Stan Schlueter Loop starting at 10 a.m., to finish with refreshments and door prizes at Keller Williams Real Estate in the center of the L-shaped plaza, where three real estate professionals, plus the agency, have joined independently.
"But I hope they'll all stop by here after it all for coffee," quipped Levi Noguess of Java Jo'z, a coffee-and-smoothie shop at one end.
Noguess and his wife Juli were among the main organizers of the project with Tammy Gilbert of Le' Spa and Salon and Jim Wright of Jim Wright Co., who built the center.
Gilbert's shop was the first to open, on Feb. 16. "We're the only shop in town now with a salon and spa together," she said. "This is an upscale center, and it's time for things like this in Killeen. We have so many people here from so many parts of the world that we need something that will appeal to them."
About the clustered ribbon cuttings, she said, "We did something like this at Empire Suites in Harker Heights when I was with Edward Jones there. When we were talking about opening events for this center, I told Jim Wright that the idea had worked really well there and said we should try it here."
Besides Java Jo'z and Le' Spa, the businesses signed up to participate late last week and their managers are i scrapbook, Icela Agnello; Beauty Depot, Michille Seo; and Modern Nail Salon # 2, Andy Nguyen. The individuals at Keller Williams are LaDonna Wall, Shakim Gonzales and Kim Galvan. Some businesses are not participating because they haven't joined either chamber. Most have joined both, but an announcement from the Harker Heights chamber did not mention the Keller Williams group.
The Heights chamber reported that a ribbon cutting is planned at the same time in the Schlueter cluster for Nguyen's Modern Nail Salon # I at 1015 S. Fort Hood St.
Agnello's shop is devoted to preservation of family keepsakes. Java Jo'z is a national organization based in Florida. The Noguesses have Internet connections and games, plus live music on weekend evenings. They are trying to make the cafe a smoke and alcohol-free community gathering place. They said that on some evenings it has been filled with students from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.
Wright said all spaces in the center are rented. The $658,000 building permit was issued to Stefek Sears Builders in April 2005. Wright said the 18,740-square-foot floor plan, designed as 14 separate suites, is the same as his Shops at Modoc now under construction in Harker Heights. The Heights center is more than half rented.
Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce membership development director Thad Byars was still holding out hope that the remaining shops in the Stan Schlueter center would jump on the bandwagon as the week ended. He said the entire Monday morning party would take an hour to an hour and a half.

What Can You Say About Your Novel?
Here's number 30 of my 50 Ways to Use Your Personality to Sell Books. This is a free ebooklet, available now at http://www.patriciafry.com
30: How to Speak About Your Novel
There are basically two types of audiences for the novelist. Those wanting to be entertained by excerpts from your story and those who want to know why and how you wrote and published the book. Here are some ideas for speeches designed to promote a novel.
• Talk about your writing/publishing journey. There are definitely many people who are interested in how you did it because they are eager to write and publish their own novels.
• Reveal something about your research practices and share fascinating anecdotes. For example, perhaps you discovered a new in forensic studies. Or maybe you laughed at yourself when one of your test readers pointed out that you had the order of events mixed up in the story. Explain how something like that can happen when you're writing a complex mystery.
• Share aspects of your story.
• Act out a scene from your book.
• Read from your book, but only under the most specific conditions. See number 32 (which gives tips for how to be more effective when reading from your book).
• Bring your character to life. Consider whether your character would make a good president, or not. Devise scenarios revealing the personalities of your main characters by starting with the question, "What would happen if your character lived in this century, if your character made a different decision in the beginning…"
• Use your story to emphasize a real life dilemma and involve the audience in resolving it.
• Cleverly create entertaining spin offs based on your story. I know one bestselling novelist who shares interesting bits of trivia from the old west and/or on other topics she covers in her western novels.
This list of tips should also help novelists devise interesting blog posts. I know that some of you are blogging. Would love to be directed to your interesting blog. Leave your comment here.

The Barnes Stays Local In Selecting Its Leader
By CAROL VOGEL
Published: August 8, 2006
Ending a 14-month search, the Barnes Foundation announced yesterday that it had appointed a prominent Philadelphia arts figure as its executive director.
He is Derek Gillman, 53, president and chief executive of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, a prestigious art school and museum known for its collection of 19th- and 20th-century American paintings. Trustees at the Barnes cited Mr. Gillman's experience with complex museum expansion projects, a familiarity crucial to the Barnes as it charts the move of its fabled collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art from suburban Merion to a new building in downtown Philadelphia.
''We had to look hard for someone who combined several things,'' said Neil L. Rudenstine, a member of the Barnes board and of the search committee for a new director. ''Derek has an imaginative, probing mind and educational experience. He also knows how to build buildings and to fund-raise.''
Mr. Gillman plans to take over in October, succeeding Kimberly Camp, who announced her resignation in June 2005 after serving as executive director for seven years.
Mr. Rudenstine said it was only ''happenstantial'' that Mr. Gillman led a Philadelphia institution. He said that the Barnes's search was international in scope, with more than 130 candidates expressing interest. ''We started out with no geographical ideas,'' Mr. Rudenstine said.
Still, having worked at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts since 1999, Mr. Gillman has had a chance to witness the Barnes's problems at close range. Arguing that it was on the brink of a bankruptcy filing, the foundation won court approval in December 2004 to defy the charter and bylaws of the museum's mercurial founder, Albert C. Barnes, which specified that no picture could be lent, sold or even moved from the walls of the neo-Classical galleries that he had built for the collection in the mid-1920's.
The move, which has been opposed by some neighbors, students and many arts professionals, is being backed by three local foundations -- the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Lenfest and Annenberg foundations -- which collectively have helped to raise more than $150 million to support the project. In March the Pennsylvania state government provided a $25 million grant for the move to a site on Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
''This is not a low-profile institution, nor is it a low-profile challenge,'' Mr. Gillman said in a telephone interview on Sunday. ''But it's an incredibly important one.'' He said that while familiarity with the Philadelphia arts community might not have been a priority for the board, it helped him ''understand the lay of the landscape.''
Among his priorities, he said, would be molding the idiosyncratic Barnes into a more professional institution, planning for a new building to house the vast collection and examining the foundation's educational programs. ''But not necessarily in that order,'' he said.
A resident of Merion, he is quick to say that he does not share the views of some of his neighbors who have formed a passionate group called Friends of the Barnes to fight the move on the grounds that the collection is being torn away from its intended setting.
''I see signs on people's lawns to save the Barnes,'' Mr. Gillman said, ''but not everyone in Merion agrees.''
Mr. Gillman, who is British-born, came to the Pennsylvania academy as executive director and provost in 1999. Two years later he became its president and chief executive. He has led a five-year, $50 million expansion in which all of its academic departments were consolidated into one campus.
He also pursued a sell-off of its European paintings at the academy to raise money for the acquisition of more American art.
When pressed, he said he had not thought about selling any works in the vast Barnes collection, which includes 181 Renoirs, 69 C?nnes, 46 Picassos and 59 Matisses, in addition to the African, American and decorative arts.
Nor has he contemplated what architect he might favor for the Barnes's new building, he said. ''I've worked with a range of architects, from local ones to international superstars,'' he said. ''All were good, but very different.''
Mr. Gillman began his career in 1981 as a curator at the British Museum in London and later served as director of the Sainsbury Center for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia, where he was involved in an expansion by Sir Norman Foster. In 1995 he was named deputy director of the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, when it was in the midst of a renovation and expansion.
Mr. Gillman said he strongly supported the move from Merion to Philadelphia. The Barnes is ''an international treasure which millions of people will be able to see,'' he said.
Mr. Gillman said that he did intend to honor the educational ideas set forth by Dr. Barnes and by the philosopher John Dewey, who promoted art and education for all people and was appointed the foundation's first director of education in 1923. ''I want to go back in time and study that vision,'' Mr. Gillman said, ''and then figure out how to extend and enrich the programs.''
Impressionist and post-Impressionist art is not Mr. Gillman's area of expertise. He studied Chinese art at Oxford University, although over the years he has worked with collections ranging from Asian, African and Renaissance art on through art of the 20th century and, more recently, American art in particular. He said he intended to hire a chief curator to oversee the Barnes collection but did not envision a big increase in the foundation's staff.
Asked if he expected the Barnes eventually to become part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a rumor that has been circulating in the museum community for years, he gave a firm ''no.''
''The Barnes is moving to become fully self-sustaining,'' he said. ''That's the whole purpose. It will be the master of its own fate.''

text: Federal War on Salt Could Spoil Country Hams If the food police get their way, North Carolinians can kiss their country hams, bacon, and fresh Bright Leaf hot dogs goodbye. These Southern specialties might not disappear altogether, but, if the health agency's crusade against salt is successful, they never will taste the same again. The Washington Post reports that the Food and Drug Administration plans an unprecedented effort to reduce gradually Americans' salt consumption. In April, the Institute of Medicine advised the FDA to lower the recommended daily intake of sodium for individuals from 2,300 mg to 1,500 mg. It also recommended setting maximum legal limits on salt in all packaged and restaurant foods. The plan is "to slowly ratchet down the sodium level, so people won't notice the change," said Christina DeWitt, a food scientist on the IOM advisory panel. Still, critics of the proposal argue that, in isolation, limiting salt in the diet may not improve public health. Jacob Sullum, senior editor at Reason magazine, says there's little evidence linking low-salt diets to a reduced incidence of high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease.

As one would expect, the National Review's Oct. 24 list of the 100 best conservative movies is chockablock with red-blooded John Wayne pics and sweet-as-pie Frank Capra weepers. What we didn't count on was flicks like The Bicycle Thief and Dumbo. (Just because Dumbo's an elephant doesn't mean he's in the GOP.) We called some folks on the list who might not consider themselves aligned with William F. Buckley. Here's what they thought:
*Movie: Baby Boom, in which a new mom quits her yuppie job to work from home. Considered: One of the "Best Pictures Celebrating Family Life." Says star Diane Keaton: "Conservative? Hell-OOO!? A single mother raising a kid? I don't think Dan Quayle would agree."
*Movie: 10, in which a middle-aged married man comes thisclose to having an affair with pot-smoking Bo Derek. Considered: One of the "Best Pictures Indicting the Spiritual Barrenness of Hedonistic Yuppieism." Says director Blake Edwards: "I am deeply honored I may now have to consider changing my politics."
*Movie: Ghostbusters, in which an EPA official's "mindless enforcement of the rules allows fearsome phantoms to escape, wreaking havoc on New York." Considered: "Best Portrait of a U.S. Government Bureaucrat." Says costar and co-screenwriter Harold Ramis: "It's nice to be on any list, but the logic is so idiotic."
*Movie: Forrest Gump, in which some hippies are portrayed as violent, foolish drug addicts. Considered: "Best Picture Indicting the '60s Counterculture." Says producer Steve Tisch: "I'm not sure I want to be on any list except the critics' top 10 list, the moviegoers' top 10 list, and a certain list that comes out in February."
*Movie: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 version), in which Americans are replaced by inert alien "pods." Considered: The best at showing the "dangers of mass conformity and tyranny posed by a 'beneficent' government." Says screenwriter W.D. Richter: "Bodysnatchers conservative? A frantic misreading of the text. If there is a force out there stalking humanity, perhaps it's the Republican right."

" Address: 51b Melton Road / Leicester / LE4 6PN "
The only Royal Sweet Centre mentioned in Dooyoo was Blackburn, so before I begin, let me say this is not about that particular shop. Being Diwali, we spent the weekend celebrating in Leicester, where it would have been rude not to indulge in some traditional Indian sweets. We located the Royal Sweet Centre in the region of the infamous Belgrave Road.
I will take you through some of the sweets, which we took the opportunity to test out - all in the name of research, obviously!
* Jalebi, which comes in two different colours - yellow and a vibrant orange. I have a preference for the orange - don't know whether it's psychological as the ingredients are the same, but I just can't get enough! The ingredients are 2 cups self raising flour
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1 cup yogurt
* Vegetable/canola/sunflower cooking oil for deep frying
* 1 cup sugar
* Few strands saffron
* 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
* 2 drops orange food colour
* 2 tbsps rose water
The magical result is a delicious, crispy shelled, swirl which is exceptionally sweet with a chewy texture that is dripping in a syrupy substance. They can be eaten hot or cold - we opted for cold - this seems to enhance the taste.
Ladoo- It is made out of flour and a variety of other ingredients formed into small balls it has a kind of crunchy, crumbly texture that has a danger of falling apart as you're trying to munch your way through. Not as sweet as the other Indian sweets which is why I managed to gorge myself on a few of these! Must work hard in the gym now - Blast!lol!
In Indian humour it is often used as a term of endearment for a chubby child - not exactly something you want on your mind when you're disregarding the calorific value of these gorgeous sweets.
Besan is made from ingredients similar to that of the infamous Ladoo. Again, there were varieties of this sweet - it doesn't have the same crumbly texture and caramelised syrup does not play a major role in this little gem. To describe the taste, i'd say it's drier than the other sweets and has a more filling capacity about it - i tried to eat more than one and failed....miserably. It's like i've been on a food challenge!!
Gulab Jamun - A brown ball which is made of a combination of double cream and flour (of which there are variations). It is typically rolled into a ball, then coated in a sugar syrup. The brown colour comes from frying the result. Gulab Jamun's can be topped with shreds of coconut, squashed into more of an oblong shape and have a cream filled centre - the variations are dependent upon the creator's mind! The various concoctions we saw literally made my mouth water, so the obvious choice was to get a few of each and ensure our taste buds had been fairly treated!
You can also be served a drink, in the form of Lassi, which is a traditional Punjabi yogurt based thirst quencher. Flavoured with various spices it can be made more unique with mango pulp, lemon, strawberry juice and others, to make it a delicious pick me up drink. As the Royal was quite busy, we opted for a quick lemon flavoured lassi, which left us £4.20 out of pocket, but feeling detoxed.
You are able to pick and choose the sweets you want, or get a mixed box - which means you can tailor it to your exact requirements. If you're abit more adventurous than us, you can opt for a mixture of everything. Out of the corner of my eye a pineapple halwa caught my eye - looking jellyish, I must admit, it did not appeal in the slightest.
The only snag about this particular sweet centre is the exorbitant price, but saying that, you know you're getting quality. The box we got, containing 8 pieces set us back by £12. The sweets are sold per kilo, meaning that the price of an individual item is difficult to decipher. It's akin to Marks & Spencers in terms of the sheer quality and texture of the sweets. All the sweets mentioned are widely available in most sweet centres, although quality may vary. We definitely recommend trying out the Royal sweet centre - which is pretty much a nationwide franchise.
Enjoy something from the small takeaway counter or stock up for those sweet tooth moments!

Aussie Site Sends Texts to Aliens
CANBERRA (Reuters) - An Australian website is giving texting an intergalactic touch and allowing users to send short mobile phone-type messages into space.
From Wednesday and until August 24, people hankering for an out-of-this-world experience can visit www.HelloFromEarth.net to post messages no longer than 160 characters that will be transmitted to Gliese 581d, the nearest Earth-like planet outside the solar system likely to support life.
Expected delivery time, however, is some 20 years, the website said. And there's no guarantee of a response.
"It's like a 'message in a bottle' cast out into the stars. What's interesting is not just whether there's anyone listening, but what the public will say to intelligent life on another planet," said project spokesperson Wilson da Silva.
"Hello From Earth is our way of showing that science can make the impossible possible. We have been to the moon and now, we can speak to the stars," he said in a statement.
The messages, to be transmitted from the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, with the close cooperation of U.S. space agency NASA, is part of Australia's National Science Week which celebrates the country's scientific achievements and creates awareness of the importance of science.
Science Minister Kim Carr entered the first message to launch the project.
"Hello from Australia on the planet we call Earth. These messages express our people's dreams for the future. We want to share those dreams with you," his message said.
"As a child I, like many Australians, stared up at the stars and wondered what was out there. Now science has allowed me to send a personal message that may answer that question," Carr said.

Imagine my dismay: Newt Gingrich's brain trust spun on its collective heel and marched out the door after the alleged candidate for the GOP presidential nomination decided to go on a two-week vacation a few weeks after a series of miscues right out of the starting gate that would have The Three Stooges muttering, "C'mon, don't you think that's a little over the top?"
The inside chatter centers on who wears the boxers in Newt's most recent marriage, and that would appear to be Callista Gingrich, who is said to have insisted on the vacation. Mama spank. Ouch.
Meanwhile, some folks think this gives impetus to the latest asshat to serve as governor of Texas, Rick "Goodhair" Perry, as the late, great Molly Ivins used to call him. The Texas Observer has had the 411 on this bozo for the better part of quite some time, and their Bob Moser would like nothing better than to see him run and get beat like a rented burro.
But it looks like we'll have Newt to kick around for a while yet. According to Politico, he announced on Facebook that he was still in the race, "committed to running the substantive, solutions-oriented campaign I set out to run earlier this spring."
I can't tell you how happy that makes me. After all, the Stooges have been absent from the national stage for decades.

this man replaced the back window in our truck on 10/04/2013. Now the window is falling out and we called him and he was supposed to show up today but he did not and now he won't answer our calls. He did this before because he was supposed to put a tinted window in and did not so he said he would check it out..we never heard from him. now it will cost us $120.00 to have the window sealed back in.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stock prices were mostly lower in early trading Friday after several companies including Amazon.com released weak earnings and the government reported that the U.S. economy expanded at a slower rate than economists were expecting.
The economy grew at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said. Much of the gain came from a jump in consumer spending. While that marked a healthy rebounded from the anemic 0.4 percent growth rate in the October-December quarter, growth still lagged the 3.1 percent rate forecast by economists polled by FactSet, a financial data provider.
While the report is backward-looking, it strengthens the perception that the economy is grinding, rather than charging, ahead. Stocks started the year with a surge that pushed both the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index to record highs. The gains though have slowed in April on signs that the economy is beginning to flag.
Corporate earnings are also driving stock trading this week.
Among the big names that investors were focusing on Friday, Amazon.com fell 6.2 percent to $257.51 after the company said it may report an operating loss in the second quarter. The online retailer's income fell in the first quarter as it continued to spend heavily on order fulfillment and rights to digital content.
Homebuilder D.R. Horton surged 5.8 percent to $25.95 after saying its income nearly tripled thanks to a continuing recovery the housing market. The results were well ahead of the forecasts of financial analysts who follow the company.
Of the companies that have reported earnings so far, 69 percent have exceeded Wall Street's expectations, compared to a 10-year average of 62 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ. However, many have missed analysts' revenue estimates. That's a warning sign to investors that some of the improvement in earnings is coming from cost-cutting instead of increased sales.
The Dow was up 12 points, or 0.1 percent, at 14,711 as of 10:27 a.m. It was moving between small gains and losses in the first hour of trading.
The S&P 500 index fell three points to 1,581, or 0.3 percent. The Nasdaq composite was down 14 points at 3,275, a decline of 0.4 percent.
Among other stocks making big moves, J.C. Penney jumped 6.7 percent to $16.26 after the billionaire financier George Soros disclosed that he had taken a 7.9 percent stake in the company. Earlier this month the struggling department store chain fired its CEO, Ron Johnson, after 17 months on the job and rehired his predecessor Mike Ullman. An ambitious turnaround plan by Johnson had backfired and caused sales to plummet.
In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.68 percent from 1.71 percent, matching its lowest rate of the year.

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced today that Tim Burke will not return as Head Coach in 2014.
"We thank Tim for his passion, hard work and professionalism throughout the past year and a half he has been in this role, and for his tireless efforts over the past three seasons with the Winnipeg Football Club," says President and CEO Wade Miller.
"If an opportunity does arise for him to join our staff as a defensive coordinator, our organization would definitely be open to exploring this with Tim."
"I've really enjoyed my time in Winnipeg and am grateful for the opportunity this franchise gave me. The fan support in this city and province is just really remarkable and it is one of the greatest things I can take away from this experience in Winnipeg," said Burke.
Burke joined the Blue Bomber coaching staff prior to the 2011 season in the role of Defensive Coordinator, before taking over on an interim basis in August of 2011 and officially being named Head Coach on November 1, 2012.

Whether you love them or love to hate them (or couldn't care less about what an old BF is doing), trust us-you'll still want to know this info.
By Mina Azodi
Trash Talking Him Has an Upside
You know that hating on your ex feels really good (um, the guy pretty much wore dad jeans, am I right?), and now science-not just your girlfriends-has your back. Researchers from the University of Utah found that people who expressed negative feelings about an ex were less likely to feel depressed immediately after a breakup, and they were more likely to have moved on one month later.
Keeping In Touch Isn't Always a Bad Idea
Normally we're all for cutting off contact, but if you're still kinda-sorta pining for a dude, going cold turkey can make you feel worse, suggests a University of Arizona study. Interestingly, study participants felt better if they maintained some sort of friendship with the guy. If you fall into this category, at least limit the "friendship to occasional emails or an annual "happy bday!" post on his Facebook wall. If you control the communication and keep it minimal, you're less likely to get into a weird (and hurtful) gray zone.

Discussing an Old BF Can Bring You Closer to Your New Guy
Okay, so we're not saying you should try this on a first date, but coming clean about previous LTR baggage can actually be a good thing for your current relationship. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology showed that when people reveal personal info-like previous relationship problems-to a new partner, they feel more intimate.
Holding on to Memories Can Hurt Your Current LTR
It's healthy to sometimes think about a past relationship when you're happily coupled up...but take note if you tend to reminisce whenever you hit a rough patch with your new bf. A recent Canadian study of both American and Canadian couples found that people tend to use those memories to soothe and validate themselves when they're going through a temporary low in their current relationship, and that this increases the odds of a break-up down the line.

Your Ex is Probably Facebook Stalking You...
...And we're guessing you're probably doing the same, judging by how common it's become. In a recent survey, 85 percent of respondents admitted to looking up an ex's profile-and nearly one in five checked it once a week. Obviously, curiosity plays a role in cyber-stalking, but according to a University of Missouri study, we also do it just because it feels good. The scientists hooked up nearly 40 students to sensors and measured their physiological responses while they searched the site. It turns out, the students actually felt pleasure while looking at a former partner's profile pics, wall posts, etc.
...And He Probably Wants You Back Too
Women sometimes get a bad rap for fixating on the past, but a survey of men and women proves that guys are the ones who are more likely to be wistful about an old flame. A majority of the single men questioned admitted that they wished they were still in a previous relationship (compared to only a quarter of single women). Kinda nice to think about when you're Facebook-stalking-err, casually viewing all the pics of him partying.

London - Justin Bieber helped his mother record her first song.
The 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker spent some quality time with Pattie Mallette, whom he had allegedly been avoiding after being arrested in Miami last month, in a recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday night (20.02.14), after writing her some lyrics.
The 37-year-old author was clearly thrilled to have a chance to bond with her famous son, as she wrote on Twitter: "That was the BEST night of my life @justinbieber you were SO sweet to me & I had so much fun #ILoveYou."
She later added: "Amazing night recording my first song. Thank you so much for writing it love!"
The 19-year-old star also shared a picture of Pattie in the studio on Instagram, with the caption: "Got my moms courage enough to get in the booth for the first time she sounds so good. (sic)"
He later posted a snapshot of the two of them hugging and wrote: "What did I do mom, love you."
Friends recently revealed that Pattie was "genuinely concerned" for Justin's welfare but is determined to stand by the troubled star, despite his recent behaviour - including being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an expired license and resisting arrest.
The insider said: "As any caring mother would be, Pattie is genuinely concerned for Justin, and she has said in many interviews before that she doesn't have her head in the clouds and keeps in very close touch.
"She talks with him almost every day, which is likely more than any mom and a 19-year-old son ... and she is in the public eye dealing with all of this." - Bang Showbiz

Seahawks Acquire BranchSeptember 11, 2006
The Seattle Seahawks acquired wide receiver Deion Branch from the New England Patriots for a first round draft pick. The former Super Bowl MVP was in a contract dispute with the Patriots and had held out for the entire preseason. Deion Branch was unhappy in the final year of his rookie contract and felt he deserved more money.
For the Seahawks this move adds depth and speed to a receiving core which has a history of injuries. Branch will be moved all around the field and will give the Seahawks a solid four wide receiver set that will allow them to stretch the field. For the Patriots this resolves the issue and settles the receiving core rotation. On the other hand this move takes away Tom Brady's number one target and further depletes the New England receiving core. In the end the question is do you take a twenty seven year old proven veteran or the potential of a late first round pick? The Seahawks chose the veteran because they believe he can help them win right now and when you have a shot to win a championship you must do everything you can to win.
The Patriots have a philosophy and they were not willing to change it for Deion Branch. They get a first round pick and they get rid of a player who was unhappy. This trade has its advantages for both teams but it looks like the Seahawks have the better end and Branch should be an impact player right away.
