The New York Post, quoting a new book, reports that Jackie Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy had a four-year love affair that began shortly after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Author C. David Heymann says Bobby was Jackie's "true love" and that the affair was well known among family members. When Bobby was shot after winning the California presidential primary, Jackie -- not Bobby's wife Ethel, or his brother Ted -- ordered that he be removed from a respirator, the book says.
The book, Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story, arrives in stores this month. The Post says it "includes recollections of the steamy affair" from Kennedy family intimates, including Pierre Salinger, Arthur Schlesinger, Jack Newfield, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote and Morton Downey Jr. Heymann told the paper he spent nearly two decades researching the book and had access to FBI and Secret Service files. Tapes of his interviews are available at the SUNY Stony Brook library.
Among the book's revelations:
-- Six months after JFK's death, during a May 1964 dinner cruise on the presidential yacht the USS Sequoia, Bobby and Jackie "exchanged poignant glances" before disappearing below deck, leaving Ethel upstairs. "When they returned, they looked as chummy and relaxed as a pair of Cheshire cats," according to Schlesinger.
-- At one point, Ethel Kennedy implored family friend Frank Moore to "tell Bobby to stop sleeping with Jackie." Instead, Moore told her to find a marriage counselor.
-- Shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis -- RFK's rival for Jackie's attention -- once threatened to "bring down" Bobby by going public with details of the affair. "I could bury that sucker," Onassis said, "although I'd lose Jackie in the process."
The Daily News reports that the book already is generating criticism. "It's a new low, and you just wonder how far people are willing to go," Laurence Leamer, author of The Kennedy Men, The Kennedy Women and Sons of Camelot, told the paper.
"(Heymann) is just trying to make a buck. Yes, Bobby and Jackie had a relationship as friends, but (the romance) is a total exaggeration. I feel sorry for Heymann," he said.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Saturday is Senior Day for Northern Arizona football. The Lumberjacks will host Southern Utah in the season finale as both teams compete for the HintonBurdick Grand Canyon Trophy. Kickoff at the Walkup Skydome is scheduled for 2 p.m.
The Opening Drive
• The HintonBurdick Grand Canyon Trophy is on the line this Saturday versus Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds have held on to the trophy for the last two seasons. Since the HBGCT rivalry game was introduced, SUU has won three out of the four games. NAU has not beaten the Thunderbirds at home Sept. 19, 2009. The teams are 4-4 versus each other in the last eight outings.
• Senior Day is this Saturday. NAU will be honoring 21 seniors pregame. The Lumberjacks are 3-1 at home this season in the Walkup Skydome.
Top Storylines
• Emmanuel Butler (106), Elijah Marks (115), and Delshawn McClellon (119) all registered 100-plus yards receiving at North Dakota on Nov. 12. NAU is the only FCS school this season to have three receivers accomplish the feat in the same game.
• Butler is looking to become NAU's first receiver to register 1,000 yards twice. He sits at 903 yards entering Saturday's game.
• NAU has had 10 different players record a touchdown this season, led by Emmanuel Butler's eight receptions. Butler has 903 receiving yards, while teammate Elijah Marks has 770 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Running back Joe Logan leads the Lumberjack run game with four rushing touchdowns and 659 yards. Logan leads the league in yards per carry at 6.9.
• The NAU defense is tied for first in the Big Sky in sacks with 26 for a loss of 192 yards. Senior linebacker Jake Thomas has a team-high 73 tackles, followed by sophomore linebacker Jake Casteel's 65.
Scouting Southern Utah
• Head Coach DeMario Warren is in his first season at Southern Utah. Warren spent the previous eight seasons with the Thunderbirds, including the last two as defensive coordinator. Warren and NAU's offensive coordinator Tim Plough played at UC Davis together.
• SUU enters Saturday's game on a one-game losing streak after falling to BYU last week in non-conference competition. Prior to that, the T-Birds were on a two-game win streak with victories over Idaho State and Montana State.
• The last time NAU and SUU played in Flagstaff, the T-Birds beat the Lumberjacks 49-41 on Nov. 21, 2015. NAU leads the all-time series, 12-7.
• The T-Birds are 1-4 in road games this season and haven't won a game on the road since Oct. 29, 2016 in a 52-27 victory over Idaho State.
• Wide receiver Mike Sharp is the Thunderbirds key to their offense. He ranks second in the Big Sky in catches and seventh in receiving yards. He has 27 career touchdown receptions and needs one to tie the school record of 28.
• The Thunderbirds have a semi-balanced attack, while their opponents have a clear advantage in the passing game putting up 3,027 yards on SUU. The Thunderbird defense has quick hands and speed resulting in 17 interceptions for 183 yards. Tyler Collet is the main culprit registering four interceptions this season for 28 yards. He's third on the team in tackles with 65 and has six pass breakups.
• SUU is eighth in the league in scoring offense (27.3) and seventh in scoring defense (29.1).

New Delhi,Oct.16 : External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee today praised the free and peaceful presidential polls held in the Maldives last week.
In a statement issued here, Mukherjee said India was heartened by the peaceful and fair manner in which the first round of multiparty Presidential elections in Maldives had taken place recently.
"The fact of the election under the new Constitution, and the manner of their conduct, are tribute to the sagacity and foresight of President Gayoom who had led the Maldives in its steady progress towards democratization and all round social development," he said.
He said that it was indeed worthwhile to note that the elections had seen a high turn out of voters (85.5 percent).
"It is for the people of Maldives to take necessary decisions about their future in the next round of elections which will be held soon," Mukherjee said, adding that "India and Maldives have close and friendly relations and we stand ready to continue to assist the friendly people of the Maldives in their democratic transition and in their march towards prosperity."

A ROW involving the Russian government and vodka ownership rights sent spirits lower at Allied Domecq, down 5p to 423 1/4p. It emerged that 67,000 cases of Stolichnaya vodka belonging to Allied is caught up in a dispute between Moscow and SPI Spirits, the overseas exporter of the brand.
SPI Spirits has accused the Russian government of blocking a major vodka shipment. The government said it, and not SPI, is the rightful owner of the brand.
Allied, which secured the US distribution rights for Stolichnaya from SPI in 2000, insists it has enough Stolly to ensure it does not run short. About 1.3m cases are sold in the US each year.
Drinks rival Diageo fell 2p to 880p ahead of an investor conference in New York today and tomorrow. Analysts want more news on how its integration of the Seagram operations is going and on new product launches.
'Expect profit-taking,' says broker ABN Amro - unless Diageo can give more evidence on how it will achieve 5% volume growth and 10% sales revenue growth.
Merger speculation in banks sent Lloyds TSB soaring to 732 1/2p before it fell back 13p to 708p. Rumours of a £70bn tie-up with Deutsche Bank persist, although Lloyds has repeatedly denied it.
The Footsie closed down 46.9 to 5203.6 after losing an early 47.9 lead. It was a day of thin trading at the start of the short pre-Easter week, with 2.3bn shares turned over, down from 3.2bn on Friday.
It was a bad day for the UK's new economy, with media, telecoms and techs diving. Granada and Carlton fell on digital difficulties. Advertising giant WPP was off 22p at 788 1/2p and Pearson, down 23p to 899p. Daily Mail & General Trust bucked the trend, up 1/2p to 744p.
Vodafone dropped 4p to 130p, as the launch of its GPRS roaming service, enabling users to use mobile services such as e-mail across Europe, left the market underwhelmed. Smaller rival MMO2 dropped 1 3/4p to 70 1/4p. BT provided some relief to beleagured telecoms investors with a 3 1/4p rise to 280 1/2p.
Motor dealer Quicks held at 98 1/2p after recommending a 100p cash offer from rival CD Bramall, valuing it at £40m. Bramall lifted its stake to 50.48% after buying 8m shares from Guinness Peat last week. Quicks, lifting full-year pretax profits from £1.9m to £2.5m, is the latest to be snapped up in a sector ripe for consolidation.
Packaging company Rexam was 16p lower at 474p after denying reports it is studying a proposal to bid for part or all of US-based Crown Cork & Seal Co.
Red is the colour at the top of the Premiership, but it is Liverpool and not Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson's team slipped 1/2p to 124p after the City discounted its chances of winning the title after their weekend defeat at Middlesbrough.
Embattled engineer L Gardner rose 2 1/4p to 18 1/4p after agreeing increased banking arrangements. It says it now has adequate working capital facilities but expects half-year losses.
Future Network, publisher of the Official Sony PlayStation magazine, gained 5 1/2p to 62p on turnover of 16.5m after Numis Securities put a target price of 80p on the stock.
It's the end of the road for small shareholders in Aim-listed WILink. com, the financial information provider unchanged at 1 3/4p. In a previous life the firm was Knutsford, the vehicle backed by the 'dream team' of Sir Archie Norman, Nigel Wray, Nick Leslau and Julian Richer, and hyped up to 270p on hopes of a big retail takeover.
WILink wants to swap every 250 of its 1p shares for one £2.50 share. Holdings of less than 250 shares will be given cash. The company's losses widened to £42.5m from £3.7m after big goodwill write-offs.

Scotland Yard has said it cannot detain one British fanatic who has boasted of recruiting men to fight for Osama bin Laden.
Hassan Butt, 22, has urged Muslims to fight a "holy war" against the United States and has recently returned from Pakistan, where British Muslims were signing up to join Taliban and al Qaeda fighters.
The Daily Mirror today claimed Scotland Yard said: " Under current legislation he's not wanted for anything."
While police will use the new legislation to round up about 20 suspected extremist Arabs or Asians in the next few days, Luton- born Mr Butt cannot be touched, despite his claims to have recruited 600 men to fight America and its allies.

There's nothing better than throwing a few ingredients into the slow-cooker and then coming home after a long day to a delicious, home-cooked meal.
That, my friends, is what I am giving you today! This French dip sandwich recipe only requires a few ingredients, quickly thrown together, and then somehow it all turns into a delicious meal. It's like magic. While you are at work, at school, or running errands, the slow-cooker is cooking both the meat and the au jus to perfection. While your friends and family are putting the meat into the rolls and dipping them in the au jus, you get to listen to them tell you how wonderful you are. Does life get any better?!
This recipe is so easy and yet it is perfect for company or special occasions. The roast becomes tender and delicious. The dipping sauce, or au jus, is packed with flavor. Even my pickiest eater loves this combination of texture and seasoning.
All you need is a roast, some hoagie rolls, and then 4 other simple ingredients: beef broth, water, a packet of Ranch dip mix, and a packet of dry Italian salad dressing mix. That's it! You don't even need to stir it! Seriously, I love the simple life.
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can of beef broth (you can also use chicken or vegetable broth)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 (1 ounce) packet of Ranch Dip mix
- 1 (.7 ounce) packet of dry Italian Salad Dressing
- Roast (2-3 pounds)
- Hoagie Rolls (Or any crusty roll works well, you just want a roll that soaks up all the great au jus!)
- Add the packets of Ranch Dip mix, and dry Italian Salad Dressing.
- Lay roast on top of the liquid mixture (you don't even need to stir!)
- Put on the slow-cooker lid. Cook on high for 4-6 hours, depending on the size of the roast. The roast should fall apart with a fork; if it doesn't, continue to cook it.
- When roast is done, take it out of the crock pot and shred it on a plate. Put some of the roast onto each hoagie roll.
- Pour the sauce from the crockpot into individual bowls or ramekins for dipping.
- Dip the rolls filled with the roast into the sauce (au jus) and ENJOY!
Do you need a side dish to go with these sandwiches? A broccoli salad would be delicious! And for dessert? How about some delicious cookies or homemade ice cream? Life is good here at Teepee Girl! ♥

According to the latest opinion polls - which cannot legally be published in France in the week before voting, but are none the less collected - the race is still open: Jacques Chirac is in the lead; Edouard Balladur and Lionel Jospin are running it close for the other place in the second round on 7 May. Almost one-third of voters are undecided.
Voters' indecision has been a hallmark of an unusual campaign. It has been unusual partly because the outgoing president, Franois Mitterrand, seems hardly to exist as a political force, so the importance of what is being fought for is diminished.
It has been unusual, too, because of the three leading contenders, only one - Jacques Chirac, the mayor of Paris - was expected to run. Mr Balladur had said when he became prime minister two years ago that he would not compete for the presidency. Mr Jospin was propelled into the Socialist nomination only after Jacques Delors decided belatedly not to stand.
And for the first time in many years, immigration and race have not been prominent in an election campaign. They have been treated as merely a part of a more general social crisis.
The campaign has also turned out to be far more varied and far closer than anyone had predicted. Mr Delors' decision not to stand appeared to weaken the left irretrievably and leave the field open for a right versus right contest. Mr Jospin, however, has proved a stronger candidate than forecast, and the widespread angst about social problems has returned to the Socialists some of the credibility many feared they had lost.
Yet the fiercest contest has been on the right. What began as an assumed victory for Mr Balladur, deriving from his solid record as prime minister and his promise of safe, steady progress based on "dialogue and consensus", was suddenly transformed in mid-February into a coup for Mr Chirac's promise of immediate and salutary change to treat the sick society he said France had become. By 23 February, the opinion polls had support for Mr Balladur and Mr Chirac crossing; by mid-March, Mr Chirac had almost as commanding a lead as Mr Balladur had previously enjoyed - leaving Mr Balladur and Mr Jospin to scrap for second place.
One theory has it that Mr Chirac was able, by moving his campaign leftwards through January, to capture some traditional socialist territory at a time when the Socialists were still without a presidential candidate. He has also fought a highly polished campaign.
During the last year he has visited every region and almost every department of France. He is at ease with people everywhere, and builds a rapport with his audiences. In this, he is everything Mr Balladur is not. Mr Balladur began by campaigning on his record and his convictions. But they were not enough, and he had to turn himself from a stately administrator into a campaigning politician.
The change was at times embarrassing. Parading into halls under strobe lighting and to loud rock music does not come naturally to Mr Balladur. But he fought back also with rhetoric, stinging Mr Chirac with accusations that his social programme would double the domestic budget deficit and that his huge stage-managed rallies smacked of demagogy.
But the fightback may not be enough. By yesterday, Mr Balladur's team seemed to be preparing for defeat, speaking of life out of power.
After tomorrow, France will face one of two very different prospects. A second round between Mr Chirac and Mr Jospin would be a familiar left- right battle. A Chirac-Balladur contest would be far more interesting.
It would echo the political battles of the pre-Mitterrand era. It would also force attention on to the issues that have hovered over this campaign but have never been seriously examined: how to combat France's real social problems, particularly unemployment and the disaffection of its young people, while reducing the domestic budget deficit and keeping the franc strong enough to join the single European currency.
Mr Chirac and Mr Balladur have different ideas on these questions. The argument has relevance not just in France, but for Europe, and would reinforce the incipient trend towards more practical, less ideological politics.

Audio via @WBAI_Radio: Muslims' Stories of Detention & Deportation in America after 9/11
War on Immigrants Report, a segment of Global Movement, Urban Struggles on Pacifica Radio
The tenth anniversary of 9/11 is a public discourse about the meaning of 9/11. Whose story is included? Today's show considers new tools available to include the ordeal in community conversation.
HOSTED THIS MONTH BY: Donald Anthonyson of Families for Freedom and Adem Carroll
To listen, click on the black arrow below [or download here]
First, we speak with Sekou Siby, one of the Co-Directors of ROC NY. Originally a French teacher from the Ivory Coast, in October 1998 Sekou Siby was hired as a cook at Windows on the World, the restaurant at the top of the World Trade Center. He lost his job on September 11th, 2001, in the World Trade Center attacks, and became a member of an organization called ROC NY. Founded after September 11th 2001, ROCNY was created to provide support to restaurant workers displaced as a result of the tragedy.
Next we will speak with Irum Shiekh who has been exploring themes of identity and ethnic tension against the backdrop of the global war on terror. Ms. Shiekh provides a space for former detainees to tell their stories and reveal the human cost of suspending civil liberties after a wartime emergency. In her new book Detained without Cause: Muslims' Stories of Detention and Deportation in America after 9/11 she has created an oral history featuring the voices of deported truck drivers, students, newspaper vendors and building contractors, and of their families swept up in post 9/11 raids.
We also interview Konrad Aderer, the Director of Life or Liberty, a non-profit media project begun in 2002 to produce documentaries on immigrant communities affected by post-9/11 policies. Life or Liberty emerged through Konrad Aderer's involvement in immigrants' rights issues since October 2001, and from the successful campaign for the release of Palestinian activist and former WBAI radio show host Farouk Abdel-Muhti in 2002-2003. Mr. Abdel-Muhti was a stateless Palestinian born in the Ramallah district of the West Bank in August 1947.

|Gerry, our stateroom guy, was great! He had little towell creations hanging to amuse us at night. On the night before departure I asked my teens how it was that they had everything ready to go so quickly, and they said Gerry kept putting things back in their suitcases, keeping them organized. I didn't have to even go in their room. Lucy, in the Solarium Bar was very friendly and sweet. Allan in the Schooner Bar was wonderful and remembered our names, and our kids names. Derryck in the Casino Bar was the only one who had any sense of urgency when it came to taking care of everyone. The rest of the Casino Bartenders were slow and somewhat "put-out" acting (except Lucy, who worked breaks there). It seemed there were two types of servers; ones who treated us like tourist "scum", and the others who were very hospitable and friendly. Dikga and Lenny on our last night (when we finally go to sit by our friends) were the best in my restaurant . Bev servers should know wine list better.
|These activity directors are heroes. When do they sleep?
|Ship Quality
|We had two rooms, one on the port side of the ship, and one on the starboard. In the hallway on the port side, it was very smelly at first, but seemed to get better toward the end of the cruise. Someone probably flushed something they shouldn't have...not sure. All the other public areas were very nice and the spotless. The decor was very nice, and the layout was efficient.
|Food and Dining
|Food quality was great. We had chosen "My time" dining and wanted to change that to "late seating" dining so we could sit near our friends who booked later than us. Even though there was an open table next to them for three nights, it was very difficult to persuade the staff to let us sit near our friends for the last night because we had originally taken "my time". I didn't like my time dining, because there were no reservations available for early times, and often not until 8:45 pm anyway. A little confusing. Our night at "Chops" was great. The food was great, service very nice, and dessert was fantastic. Windjammer was good and served its purpose; a little Golden Corral feel to it, but I realize that's how buffets go.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|Our stateroom was the last on the starboard side, which was a little hike to the elevator, but otherwise wonderful. We were worried because we had an "obscured" balconey but I will ask for the same room next time! Obscured meant our balconey was twice the size of everyone else's balconey, and had a piece of the ship that blocked the sun so you could sit outside and not bake. It was large enough that I never felt crowded, comfy bed, two pillows each, and I could shut the bed off from the sitting area with a curtain so my husband could sleep while I finished a movie.

Recent theoretical research has indicated that we might soon reach a "capacity crunch", as the limits of conventional single mode fiber transmission systems are approached. While technologies such as spatial diversity, ultra-broadband Raman amplification, optical and digital nonlinearity compensation have been proposed, none has yet demonstrated an ability to overcome these limitations in practical systems. This workshop will examine the conflicts and opportunities that are emerging in optical transmission systems in this context. Key questions will include:
What are the causes of the theoretical and practical capacity limits?
How and when will the coming capacity limitations arrive considering the various applications from submarine to metro networks?
What solutions have been proposed, and how will they address the problems?
Will the reduction of cost per bit continue by economic solutions such as photonic integration after we reach the "capacity crunch"?

I would ask what the golden rule of Big Brother is, but seeing as Big Brother makes up the rules as he goes along, nobody really knows. But, one rule that must be obeyed at all times (unless Big Brother changes his mind) is that housemates should not, at any time, or in any way shape or form talk about nominations.
It's one of the rules that most of the housemates struggle with and Liz Jones has become the latest casualty of nominations-gate as she opened her trap to Linda last night in the garden about nominations. As a punishment, Liz must air everyone's dirty laundry, but not in the conventional way…
This morning, Big Brother gathered the celebrity housemates on the sofas in the living room to remind them that they must not talk about nominations.
They were told: "It is clearly stated in the Big Brother rules that the discussion of nominations is not permitted.
"Big Brother has reminded all housemates of this rule since you entered the house. Despite this, last night at 11:04pm, Liz said to Linda 'I'm going to kill you if you don't nominate me'. This was a clear breach of the rules regarding of discussing nominations".
As a result of Liz's slip-up, she had to be punished and Big Brother told her that she has to hand wash one dirty garment from each of the housemates, which will give her time to reflect on what she's done wrong.
Now, Liz breaks the rules in day-to-day life anyway as she slags just about every celebrity off. Do you think airing everyone's dirty laundry in the bathroom is going to bother her? I don't think so…
Big Brother continued: "Big Brother would like all housemates to give Liz one item of dirty clothing. Liz you must hand wash this clothing immediately and use the time to remind yourself of the rules of the discussion of nominations".
Just in case Liz was feeling down, Luisa Zissman had a few wise words for her: "At least you didn't have to go to jail in the freezing cold. That's worse".
Celebrity Big Brother continues this evening on Channel 5 at 9:45pm.

Kansas Athletics announced Monday afternoon Tevin Shaw had officially joined the Jayhawks' Class of 2012, by inking a national letter of intent.
Head Coach Charlie Weis and his staff sprung at Shaw almost two weeks ago on National Signing Day, when it became apparent they had a scholarship available and the 5-foot-11, 190-pound athlete was still on the market.
An official visit was quickly set for the weekend of Feb. 10.
"I'm definitely excited to come out and see what it's all about," Shaw told Scout.com in a Feb. 2 interview.
He evidently liked what he saw. He becomes the 18th member of Weis' first signing class at Kansas, in addition to three transfer students, pushing the total number of newcomers to 21.
It's rare to see such a quality talent available this late in the process. Shaw dominated the Garden State on both offense and defense. As a running back, he rushed for 1,529 yards on 245 carries, scoring 23 touchdowns. At safety, he racked up 75 tackles, three picks and a pair of sacks.
Scout.com has messages in to both Shaw and his head coach, Dan Higgins, so stay tuned for more on the newest Kansas Jayhawk.

This discernment process, of getting on the "right" road, involves sharing wisdom. This Shared Wisdom method is based upon several underlying beliefs including one that says that the people in the organization already possess the wisdom to discern the "right" path. Trouble is, no one individual has all of the wisdom (though some may think that they do).
What is needed is respectful facilitation that seeks out everyone's "piece of the wisdom" and puts all the pieces on the table, even if there is conflict and disagreement.
All the wisdom is needed, all the wisdom is honored.

One trillion, six hundred billion dollars is a lot of money. If Bridgewater is right, the whole financial sector will be gutted. You'll remember, dear reader, after manufacturing pulled out of America, the financial industry was left. And retail. Housing. Services. And not much else. The center of economic power shifted from Detroit and Trenton – where they made things – to Manhattan, where they financed them. Mothers ceased wanting their babies to grow up to be CEO of General Motors; they wanted them to go to Wall Street. That's where the real money was. Finance was the key not only to huge profits itself, but also to the growth of the retail and housing sectors. People bought durable goods and consumer goods on credit. No credit; no purchases. No purchases; no consumer economy.
Well, now GM has lost 75% of its value…and the financial industry is not far behind.
Well, Bridgewater goes on to say that a $1.6 trillion loss in the financial industry will mean a loss of $12 trillion in credit to the economy as a whole. When the lenders don't have capital, they can't lend it out. Typically, they lend $10 for every dollar of capital. So if a dollar of capital is wiped off their balance sheets, as much as $10 of credit is erased from the economy.
Here at Markets and Money headquarters in Europe, we're used to high prices. One billion? Heck, we spend much that on lunch. But $12 trillion begins to sound like real money. And $12 trillion taken out of the U.S. consumer economy begins to sound like the Great Depression. Like Japan, 1990-2006…only worse. Collapsing asset prices. Rising unemployment. Bankruptcies. Defaults.
Of course, no central bank or government will go into that good night without a fight. The Fed will cut rates…and lower reserve requirements…and probably intervene directly in markets. Banks will be effectively nationalized…as has already happened with Northern Rock in Britain. The federal government will increase borrowing and spending to try to offset the money disappearing from the markets and the economy. Yesterday, we mentioned $1 trillion deficits. Think $2 trillion deficits. Maybe more.
What about the foreigners? What about Sovereign Wealth Funds? They've got a lot of money. Couldn't they help recapitalize the credit system? Alas, the SWFs have only $3 trillion currently. And the foreigners? Our guess is that when they realize what is happening they will be desperate to get rid of dollars and U.S. paper of all sorts. Instead, they'll want real resources, factories, brands, concrete and land. And they will have a great opportunity. As asset prices fall, they will be able to buy more valuable properties in America at bargain prices. Already, Abu Dhabi bought the Empire State Building. A Belgian brewery, run by Brazilians, is buying Budweiser. More to come…
*** How's our Trade of the Decade doing? Eight years ago we suggested you sell stocks and buy gold. The bull market on Wall Street was over, we thought. A bull market in gold was just beginning.
As far as we can tell, we were right.
The S&P is down about 20% from its high…which puts U.S. stocks barely lower than they were in 2000. But adjusted for inflation, the loss has been spectacular. Remember, oil has gone from around $10 a barrel to around $140 a barrel. Everything else has gone up too. Even by official CPI numbers, the year 2000 buck is worth only about 80 cents. And the dollar against the euro is down about 40%.
Real bear markets typically last 10-15 years. This one has another few years to go. These should be the most interesting ones. Commentators are already looking for a bottom in the stock market. They may have to wait a long time.
An ounce of gold would buy the whole Dow in 1926…again in the 1930s…and once again in 1980. If gold stays where it is, the Dow would have to drop below 1,000 for the gold/Dow ratio to return to one. More likely, the Dow will drop and gold will rise to meet it. In 1999, gold bottomed out at around $260 an ounce. Since then it is up nearly 5 times. The U.S. money supply, however, has gone up 11 times. So, our guess is that there's plenty of upside left for the stuff they make dental fillings out of. If it were to equal the increase in M3, its price could rise to $2,700 or so.
This is all guesswork, of course. But the Trade of the Decade still looks good to us. Gold and the Dow will probably come together somewhere north of 3,000….

Hello, everyone!
Valentine's Day is coming soon, and I thought it might be a fun project to do find a group buddy and do a music-related/Valentine's Day-themed art trade.
Even if you're celebrating Single's Awareness Day this year (like me ), it might still be a fun project where you can get to know the other members of the group!
If you are interested in doing something like this, comment below.
Do you think it should be secret art trade? Or do you think it would work better if everyone just partners up on their own?
Feel free to give suggestions!

I grew up with webbed feet, having lived most all of my days in the drizzly Pacific Northwest. As children we learned to play in the rain. Rubber boots and a rain slicker made possible all manner of H2O adventures; and even my walk to school was a charmed & charming experience. The rough-and-tumble sort didn't bother to cover their heads.
Yesterday the wind picked up and something in the air clearly spelled change. The organic scent of recently fallen & now decaying fruit laced the air. Dirt & dried grass competed for olefactory supremacy ~ all of it carried here-and-there upon an Autumn breeze. Rain drops eventually joined the convention, becoming torrential with each passing hour. At once I was a child again, remembering the-rain play of yesteryear as well as the inspiration unique to the changing seasons.
At one point I donned my rubber boots & hooded jacket. I leashed up the furball in residence and away we went. She seemed to enjoy the kicking of leaves as much as I did, though I did not share her enchantment with worms ~ those slimy, squirmy Lumbricina summoned to the surface by a too much saturated earth. Just beyond the fenced orchard in which we reside we encountered deer, three of them. We must have been up-wind because they paid us no heed, continuing as they did to rob the neighbor's deer-proof, fenced orchard of as-yet unpicked apples. I giggled a bit before "shoo'ing" them away.
The return trip brought a lump to my throat. I was saddened to think that so many unsung, rainy days have long since passed from my life; my childhood but a fading chapter in my story. How much of the rainy realm have I disdained as an inconvenience, or as an ugly substitute for the glories of summer? How often have I missed an opportunity to kick leaves or watch grazing animals, even naughty ones through the mist? How many years has it been since I owned, much less wore rubber boots & a slicker?
"Too long!", I concluded; "too long".
So now I'm gathering up my rain gear once again to see what I might discover in today's downpour. I hope it won't include worms.
moments ago is now passed.


text: ROSELAND, N.J., Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The cost of health coverage and other employee benefits, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and the level and volume of government regulations are cited as the top three concerns of midsized business owners and executives, according to a new study by the ADP Research Institute ®, a specialized research group within ADP®, a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131101/NY07484-INFO-a )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131101/NY07484-INFO-b )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131101/NY07484-INFO-c )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131101/NY07484-INFO-d )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131101/NY07484-INFO-e ) In its second year, ADP's study, " Top Concerns and Challenges of Midsized Business Leaders in 2013," examines the concerns, perceptions, challenges and plans of more than 1,000 business owners and executives at U.S. midsized companies, categorized as those with 50-999 employees. Topping the list of midsized business challenges in 2013 is the cost of health coverage and benefits (70%), made even more complex by employer requirements associated with ACA regulations. Two-thirds of midsized business owners say that the cost of providing employer-sponsored medical health insurance to employees is a barrier to achieving business goals. ACA legislation rates second among business owners' concerns (59%). The study reveals that as ACA regulations loom, there is a stark disconnect between executives' perceived ability to comply with the regulations and having a thorough understanding of the legislation and its implications on the organization. In fact, 70% of midsized company executives believe that their firms will be in "complete compliance" with ACA, while 66% of HR decision-makers are not confident they understand ACA, and nine out of 10 are not confident that their employees understand the impact of ACA on their benefits and benefit choices. Even more interesting is the double-digit increase year over year of ACA as a ranked concern – a 16% increase from 2012. The third most pressing business concern is the level and volume of government regulations (54%), as issues related to compliance and management of employee records are often more burdensome for midsized businesses. While the vast majority of respondents (83%) are confident that they are compliant with payroll tax laws and regulations, nearly one-third of all respondents report unintended expenses as a result of noncompliance in the past 12 months, pointing to a potential "compliance overconfidence" among executives. Furthermore, this overconfidence is costing businesses – of those fined or penalized, midsized firms report an average of six fines or penalties per year. These are costs businesses can ill afford in today's economic environment. Interestingly, organizations processing payroll in-house received almost twice as many fines or penalties as those that outsource processing to a third-party firm. "As we assess this year's top concerns among midsized business owners, it is clear that health care is at the forefront – whether it is the cost of benefits, understanding ACA or having mechanisms in place to ensure compliance – business owners continue to struggle with human capital management challenges," said Regina Lee, Division President, ADP. "The Affordable Care Act has added greater complexity to the health care issue, making it critical that business owners understand and effectively manage human capital needs." As midsized business owners manage more complex issues in an age of digitalization and globalization, ADP's study found that a large percentage of midsized business owners are putting themselves at risk of costly security breaches, natural disasters and noncompliance. Consider that a majority of midsized business owners surveyed (57%) still rely on paper-based records for storing and managing employee records, and nearly six in 10 have felt a financial impact of inaccurate data. Further, 20% of midsized business owners and executives said their company has been impacted by some kind of natural disaster in the past two years. And with 13% of midsized businesses reporting operations outside of the United States, the risk midsized businesses face regarding the security and accessibility of their employee records is increasingly critical to business operations. These business concerns play a role in midsized business owners' economic outlook for the coming year, which the ADP study also assessed. In fact, this year's study reveals a gap between perception and reality as business owners struggle to anticipate economic performance. When surveyed in 2012, only 15% of business owners expressed confidence in 2013's economic outlook. However, when surveyed this year on last year's performance, 61% judged that the economy had improved in the previous 12 months. While their overall outlook on the economy remains weak, respondents may be better adapting to economic realities that in the past have impacted their ability to meet business objectives. Compared to 2012, there are significant declines in the number of respondents who expressed concern about economic issues including fuel costs, cash flow, supplies and credit availability.

Track DescriptionModerate, 2km to 10km
Stoll Road starts on Beards Track and runs through to join up with the top of Hard Up Haul Track and Hi Tree Extension Road intersection.
Coming from the Beards Track dircection, most of Stoll Road is downhill and not overly difficult. If it is wet, it can be a bit of fun sliding down. It is similar to Hard Up Haul Track in steepness.
Going the other way, mainly uphill, is difficult in the wet, but not too bad in the dry.
A good medium difficulty track.

Although policies promoting asthma-friendly communities should reduce asthma disparities, not much is known about the status of policy implementation or effectiveness. We review the efforts of state and local agencies to identify and target asthma disparities for reduction, as evidenced by written laws and policy documents and use of funding. Policies targeting health care, homes, schools, and workplaces hold promise for creating asthma-friendly communities; however, the scope and reach of these activities must be increased to have statewide or national impact. In addition, there is a general lack of systematic review of evidence about the institutionalization of successful demonstration programs into policy.

What happened to "never aim a gun at anything you don't want to destroy"? This guy is a complete idiot!! He obviously didn't know anything about guns and therefore should have kept his hands off.
This is a discussion on This reporter is a moron within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Honestly, where do they grow these people? http://www.klfy.com/global/video/fla...s&rnd=93478219...
Honestly, where do they grow these people?
What happened to "never aim a gun at anything you don't want to destroy"? This guy is a complete idiot!! He obviously didn't know anything about guns and therefore should have kept his hands off.
That so-called reporter is a prime example of why kids should be taught firearms safety. Never point a weapon at someone or something unless you intend to use it.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
Hóka-héy! Crazy Horse
What. A. Tool.
Nevermind any safety precautions that they may have taken, the simple fact that there are people watching what is, in effect, a guy grabbing a gun off a podium and pointing at someone else is enough for any thinking human being to go "whoa, wait a minute, maybe this isn't such a good idea." Of course, no one has ever confused most reporters with thinking people...
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
He tries to paint a picture of impending doom "Imagine walking in to your kids school and seeing not 1, not 2 but 3 guns!"
And one of them is PISTOL!
it is a prime example oh how much most reporters do not know.
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution, which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -1792, James Madison

I'm surprised he was given permission to touch the pistol, considering the negative spin on the story. If he was not given permission, somebody should have knocked him on his butt.
Is it just me or does anyone else move out of the way of the barrel when they see that video.
Here is the text story: http://www.klfy.com/global/story.asp?s=13274082
And email of the station: firstname.lastname@example.com
It doesn't seem that reporter has an email of his own, at least it's not listed.
If I had been the cameraman, that reporter's next report would have been from the emergency room where they were removing the piston from a part of his anatomy where object are not supposed to be inserted! The principal wasn't too bright either for letting the reporter in where guns were unsecured!

|Professions: Clinical Social Worker, Counsellor, Psychotherapist
|License Status: I'm a licensed professional.
|Primary Credential: LCSW
Billing and Insurance
I don't currently accept insurance, but I can provide documentation if clients wish to submit to an insurance company for "out of network" benefit coverage
See other therapists in Gilbert, AZ.
Reaching out for help can be very difficult and finding the right person to help can be equally difficult. When it comes to choosing a therapist, it is not a one size fits all proposition. My desire to become a helper began early in my life and has grown through personal struggles toward a healthy and more authentic life. I have spent many years learning about the mind/body/spirit connection, and have incorporated this knowledge into how I help others on their personal healing journeys. I look at healing from a holistic perspective and know that this is a different experience for everyone. This is why I take the time to work with you developing an appropriate treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. If this is something that appeals to you then I look forward to meeting you soon!
Email or Call Lynn S Brimhall, LCSW at 1-800-651-8085 ext. 33250
More Info About My Practice
My approach to therapy is both holistic and eclectic. I use a variety of techniques including: DBT skills, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Art, and Play therapy, to help achieve the best results for your personal healing journey. I believe in learning healthy skills to be able to be more successful in life. I believe in working on the past only as it relates to the present. I believe in working toward a healthy trusting relationship with self as a means to healthy relationships with others. I believe in working toward forgiveness of self as a process of developing greater compassion and acceptance rather than harsh judgment or criticism. I believe when we develop these things within ourselves we can more easily turn outward toward others with more compassion, less judgment and forgiveness.
Had a Negative Therapy Experience?
It is not too late to have a reparative experience with the right therapist. As I mentioned above finding the right person to help is very important to your process of healing. Therapists are not one-size-fits-all and I always tell people to keep trying them on until you find one that fits!
My View on the Nature of 'Disorders'
When people first meet with me and begin to tell me their story, undoubtedly they will say something like, "I am bi-polar". What I say to them is this: you are not your diagnosis! you are a person who struggles with a particular set of issues. It is easy to dismiss the possibility for real change when you have resigned yourself to being a particular disorder or diagnosis. Alternatively, working with a person's issues and symptoms allows for greater authenticity and change.

Bruce quells Carr rumours
Steve Bruce has rejected reports linking former Newcastle full-back Stephen Carr with a move to Wigan.
By James Dall
Last Updated: 20/08/08 2:53pm
Wigan Athletic manager Steve Bruce has rubbished reports linking former Newcastle United full-back Stephen Carr with a transfer to the club.
Carr ended his four-year stay at St James' Park when he was released by the Magpies at the end of last season.
Recent speculation has claimed Wigan could be set to move for the 31-year-old Irishman.
However, Bruce has rejected the rumours, and also quashed lingering suggestions Michael Brown could leave the JJB Stadium before the close of the transfer window.
Bruce said in the Wigan Evening Post: "I don't know where the Carr story has come from. I can categorically say no to that one.
"I keep hearing the Brown rumour but there's nothing in it. In fact, I don't see us doing anything before the transfer window shuts.
"We need a good squad and I've only got three central midfield players."

UPDATE 2-Cheap commodities to spur global growth, China a bright spot - Trafigura
* Dauphin sees predictions of Chinese slowdown exaggerated
* Core earnings, gross margin rise in 2014
* Fixed assets flat despite big divestment (Updates with Dauphin comments, details from report)
By Dmitry Zhdannikov
LONDON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Lower commodities prices will spur the global economy and China remains a boon for raw materials despite the country's recent weak data, Swiss trading house Trafigura's founder Claude Dauphin said on Monday as his firm reported a rise in core earnings.
"It is also worth remembering that current lower commodity prices will themselves act as a boon to the world economy, along with lower freight and financing costs," Dauphin, Trafigura's executive chairman, said in a statement.
He said Trafigura, one of the world's largest commodities traders, was insulated from sharp price fluctuations because it hedges price risk. "But we are not indifferent to the benefits of falling prices for growth," Dauphin added.
Oil prices have fallen by 40 percent since this year's peak in June on oversupply fears, while the broader 19-commodity Thomson Reuters/Core Commodity CRB Index has fallen by a fifth.
Unlisted Trafigura said in its annual report capital investment during the year to September 2014 was $1.7 billion, slightly lower than the $2 billion invested in 2013. Continuación...

Inez Inman of Enoree thinks of her daughter, Deborah Cole, who was beaten to death nearly 10 years ago, every day.
"I think about her night and day," Inman said. "I don't see any peace."
Inman, 64, said neither she nor Cole had it easy.
Inman had five children, three of whom had birth defects. One of her children died in 1971 at just 13 months old.
Cole was 9 when Inman married her second husband, Inman said. Cole wrote poems, did well in school and graduated from Woodruff High School in 1985, Inman said.
Former Lancaster High School and Post 31 American Legion baseball standout Marc Rape will launch his Wingate University baseball career today when the Bulldogs open their 2010 home schedule.
Rape, a right-hander, is slated to be on the mound when the Bulldogs face Limestone at 2 p.m. in the Wingate home opener.
Rape helped Spartanburg Methodist College advance to the 2009 NJCAA World Series. The Pioneers finished the 2009 campaign with a 55-9 overall record and a No. 5 finish in the JUCO series.
Mary Reimers wants Lancaster County Council to consider some alternatives for protecting the county's animal control officers.
Reimers, a member of the Humane Society of Lancaster, spoke at council's Jan. 25 meeting, urging the county to find ways other than guns to protect its four animal control officers.
"I am not for killing animals indiscriminately, but I am in support of arming officers some way," she said.
The fourth-ranked Lancaster Bruins achieved their January goal and now are focusing on another lofty mark.
"Our goal for January was to go unbeaten," said Bruins' fifth-year head coach Ricardo Priester.
The Bruins 16-3, 5-0, went 8-0 for January, boosted by a landmark win to cap LHS's December schedule.
"A key game in our basketball season was our win in the final game of the 'Sweet 16' holiday tournament at Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School," Priester said.
BUFORD Buford used clutch play down the stretch to notch a season's hoops sweep of Conference III-A foe Chesterfield High School on Tuesday night.
The Jackets, who defeated the Rams 58-49 on Jan. 12 at the CHS gym, edged Chesterfield 49-46 for a league split.
The girls game wasn't as close as the Lady Rams rolled to a 48-17 win over the Buford girls.
The nightcap was tight, with Buford prevailing with the game on the line.
Anthony Williams, who netted 11, dropped in a free throw with 15 ticks left to give the Jackets the lead for good, 47-46.
GREAT FALLS Great Falls football coach Kenneth Schofield joked that with all their children now out of the house, Adam and Martha Lynn will be able to afford new cars this year.
Their youngest son, Isaiah, got a full ride of his own Wednesday.
Lynn (6-0, 215), a multi-sport standout for the Red Devils signed with Presbyterian College in Clinton, becoming the second Lynn in two years to move on to the college ranks.
A lot of factors attracted Lynn to the Blue Hose.
With baseball season right around the corner, several Lancers are ready to spread their diamond wings to fly. Last spring, USCL outfielder Pierce Labrador, impressed NCAA Division II Newberry College and will be playing for the NC baseball team this spring.
Ryan Burt, a left-handed pitcher and first baseman out of West Columbia, recently committed to NCAA Div. I Presbyterian College for the fall of 2010.
Burt had a team best .472 batting average and was voted second team all-region at the NJCAA Region 10 Coaches Conference.
An insurance company is paying $5 million to settle a case of a former Lancaster driver who struck and killed two bicyclists on U.S. 521 in 2007.
A federal judge approved the settlement for the family of Tom Hoskins last week.
Hoskins, 49, and Lee Anne Barry, 43, were killed in Indian Land in October 2007.
Barry was on the last leg of a cross-country ride to raise awareness for brain injuries.
Hoskins had joined her for the last portion.
Hoskins died on the side of the highway.
Barry died four hours later at a Charlotte hospital.
The new ALDI grocery store was so crowded Thursday morning that many shoppers had to park across the road to find a spot for their vehicle.
And once inside, things didn't get better.
The check-out lines extended more than halfway to the back of the store while shoppers crammed the aisles trying to see what foods they could find at a bargain price.
Thursday was the grand opening for the ALDI grocery store at Old Charlotte Road and North Park Drive behind Bojangles' restaurant in Lancaster.
The Lancaster Bruins clawed the Bearcats in a Region IV-AA hoops sweep Tuesday night at Rock Hill.
The Lady Bruins rolled to a 52-39 win and the No. 4 LHS boys ripped the Bearcats, 69-35.
The LHS boys, 17-3, 6-0, used a pivotal 17-2 run to take a 19-6 first-period lead on the way to the 34-point victory.
Lancaster, making liberal use of its bench, had 11 players score in the win. LHS led 37-11 at the break before taking the win.

The Art Of War Adapted To Cybercrime
IT Governance
: 04 March, 2010
(New Product)
IT Governance has published a book on Assessing Information Security based on the principles of the Art of War by Sun Tzu
IT Governance Publishing (ITGP), the specialist publishing arm of information security experts IT Governance, is bringing the principles of Sun Tzu's classic text, The Art of War, to the fight against cybercrime.
ITGP's latest book, Assessing Information Security: Strategies, Tactics, Logic and Framework, argues that the art of war, and the art of information security, are more closely aligned than one might expect. Technical skills and procedural knowledge are not enough; these qualities need to be deployed strategically to control the cybercrime battlefield.
The book, written by Dr Andrew Vladimirov, Konstantin Gavrilenko and Andriej Michajlowski, demonstrates that businesses need clear objectives and strategies, just like a military campaign, to implement information security effectively. The book explains, for example, that:
• Self-defence is important; you must assess your position thoroughly and have the proper safeguards in place to protect your business information;
• But you must also be able to fight back; the genuine threat of prosecution can be a very effective deterrent against embittered or corrupt employees, for example, who might otherwise see your company's data as a 'soft target';
• You need to invest wisely; expensive technology is not necessarily the right technology to protect your business information;
• There are no fixed and fortified limits as to when and where your business data could be vulnerable;
• You must be able to adapt or perish, because every threat you repel today will evolve into a new threat tomorrow.
Alan Calder, Chief Executive of IT Governance, says: "Information security, like warfare, is not simply a question of ticking boxes on a checklist. A comprehensive plan and the latest technologies, although essential, do not in themselves guarantee success. Information security is ultimately a human problem. And, while human error is a factor, of course, the biggest threat is the criminal, deliberately and maliciously seeking to exploit your weaknesses."
Nonetheless, as Assessing Information Security: Strategies, Tactics, Logic and Framework explains, cybercriminals have weaknesses, too. They must be considered like military adversaries and confronted accordingly by learning from military strategies. The result will see expert information security deployed with an understanding of human conflict.
Calder continues: "Even when discussing the cutting-edge technologies of 2010, and technologies yet to emerge, the ancient wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art of War has a role to play. Business is an intensely competitive environment, which is why executives enjoy the insights of expert military strategists, such as Sun Tzu and Carl von Clausewitz [the early 19th-century Prussian soldier and author of On War]. Andrew, Konstantin and Andriej apply the work of these men to the operations of a 21st-century company. If you want to take active steps to deter the cybercriminal, you need to read this book."
Dr Vladimirov says: "An information security professional is engaged in a form of continuous warfare which, by its very nature, is defensive. The aim of this 'combat' is not to give an inch of the protected 'territory' - whether data, systems or resources - to the adversaries."
Assessing Information Security: Strategies, Tactics, Logic and Framework (ISBN: 9781849280358) is available in softcover and e-book format.

PURPOSE: Low nocturnal saturations in sickle cell patients has been associated with increase pain crisis and first cerebrovascular accident. Reports from pediatric sickle cell disease (SSD) suggests that low daytime oxygen saturations may predict nocturnal desaturations. However, there is no data on this relationship in adult sickle cell population. This study evaluated the relationship of daytime pulse-oximetry and nocturnal desaturations in adult SSD.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 43 consecutive adult patients referred from sickle cell clinic. Nocturnal desaturation was defined as spending >5 mins below 89% during sleep. Daytime saturations were considered normal if over 95%. Patient's baseline characteristics and co-morbid conditions were documented. Findings were compared with a control group of 20 patients.
RESULTS: Of the 43 consecutive patients identified complete data was available on 27 patients. The mean age of the group was 40 years (22-65). Of the 27 patients, 17 (63%) had daytime saturations >95% and 10 (37%) had low daytime saturations 95% or less. 6/10 (60%) of patients with daytime saturation 95% or less had nocturnal desaturation compared to 7/17 (41%) in the higher saturations group. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. When compared with control group comprising of non sickle cell with no underlying cardiopulmonary disease and daytime saturations >95%, the sickle cell group with >95% daytime saturations demonstrated significant oxygen desaturations 7/17 (41%) desaturated compared to 0/20 of control group(p<0.0072). In this limited study nocturnal desaturations were not associated with increased pain crisis or increased hospital admissions.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study is the first to evaluate the relationship of day/ night oxygen saturations in adult sickle cell patients. We observed that having high daytime oxygen saturations does not rule out nocturnal desaturations in adult sickle cell patients.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Normal daytime saturations in adult SSD should not be a deterrent for physicians in evaluating for nocturnal desaturations.

TS Designs was founded in 1977 as a small, manual screenprinting operation. After a few short years, TS became a fully automated manufacturing company, printing shirts for the big brands (Nike, Tommy, Polo, GAP, etc.). After the 1993 implementation of NAFTA, however, TS Designs watched its customers flood to Mexico for its lower labor cost.
Instead of following many of their peers and calling it quits, CEO Tom Sineath and president Eric Henry turned to fellow business owner and long-time friend Sam Moore for a new direction. Sam introduced to Tom and Eric the triple-bottom-line business model focused on three equally important bottom lines: People, the Planet, and Profits.
Armed with their new business model and a healthy amount of crazy, Tom and Eric sought to align themselves with, and cater to, a then-fringe group: The Green Movement.
Today, TS Designs still sells largely to local, environmentally and socially-conscious businesses and organizations that make up The Green Movement, but also prints for any organization looking for a better quality product with a better environmental and social impact. Help us to be an example of a successful triple bottom line business as we continuously work to improve our social and environmental influence.

Robinson Worldwide Inc., Tom James, Thomson Reuters, Coyote Logistics, Shell, Enterprise, The Brooks Group, RR Donnelley and Salesforce.com. Because of this support, our students are able to go outside of MSU and do great work that is recognized nationwide.
