Investors in PetSmart (UNKNOWN:PETM.DL) stock were wagging their tails on Tuesday after the close, as the company delivered improving financial performance for the third quarter of 2014 and an encouraging outlook for fiscal 2015. Let's go over the main numbers and considerations regarding PetSmart's latest earnings report.
Improving revenues
Total sales during the quarter ended on Nov. 2 increased 2.6% to $1.74 billion, better than the $1.73 billion Wall Street analysts forecasted on average.
Comparable-store sales were flat during the quarter. The average ticket increased 2.4%, but that jump was offset by an equal decline in comparable transactions.
While flat comparable-store sales don't sound like reason for optimism, it's important to keep in mind that this figure represents a material improvement in comparison with the 0.5% decline in same-store sales the company announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
PetSmart ended the quarter with a total of 1,387 stores, versus 1,352 locations at the start of the period.
Services sales grew 6% to $195.3 million, or 11.2% of total revenues, an increase versus 10.9% of sales coming from services in the same quarter last year. As long as services continue outgrowing merchandise sales, they should become a growing piece of the pie for PetSmart over time, and that could be a positive in terms of overall revenue growth.
Margins are holding on well
Gross profit margin was 29.4% of sales during the quarter, a decline in comparison with 29.8% in the same quarter during 2013, but not too bad considering that the company is operating in a challenging and aggressively promotional retail environment.
Operating, general, and administrative expenses represented 20.8% of revenues, in line with the year-ago quarter. Operating margin was 8.7% of sales during the last quarter, flat versus the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Reported net income came in at $92.2 million, flat on a year-over-year basis. Adjusted net income, which excludes one-time costs from the company's restructuring program, were $102.2 million, an annual increase of 10.8%.
GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.92, up 4.5% over the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.02, a healthy year-over-year increase of 15.9%, and comfortably better than the $0.96 Wall Street analysts expected on average.
PetSmart produced $125.3 million in cash flows from operations during the quarter, investing $37.1 million in capital expenditures and distributing $19.4 million in dividends. The balance sheet looks quite healthy, with $254.8 million in cash and equivalents and no borrowings against its credit facility.
Outlook and comments
CEO David Lenhardt sounded quite happy with the company's improvements during the quarter and its prospects for a sustained turnaround:
As our review of strategic alternatives continues, we remain focused on our four growth strategies and profit improvement program to continue to deliver value for customers and shareholders. I am pleased with our progress to date across our four growth strategies, and in taking decisive actions to deliver expected annualized pre-tax cost savings of $200 million under our profit improvement program.
Management is planning to reduce $200 million in annual costs through a deep restructuring of the company's cost base. PetSmart expects to achieve approximately 60% of those savings in fiscal 2015, while the remaining 40% is scheduled for fiscal 2016. During the last quarter, the company realized overhead cost reductions of $20 million in connection with this program.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, management expects slightly positive comparable sales growth and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $1.34 to $1.38. Wall Street is forecasting earnings per share near the high end of the company's guidance, with an average estimate of $1.37 per share.
Guidance for the full fiscal 2015 looks particularly encouraging, as management expects to deliver comparable-store sales growth in the low single digits and an increase in earnings per share in the mid-teens. If the company can deliver according to guidance, it would suggest a fairly strong recovery for PetSmart over the coming quarters.
In all, PetSmart delivered broadly good news in its latest earnings report. While it's not completely out of the woods in terms of sales, the company seems to be moving in the right direction. Strong guidance for the coming year was the big positive in the report, but it also will set the bar higher for PetSmart in the middle term.

The ageless, smile-in-the-voice tones of its presenter, Sheila Tracy, helped to make Big Band Special on BBC Radio 2 a priority destination for lovers of swing music. Tracy had been a professional musician herself, on the road with the Ivy Benson band for several years in the 1950s. Indeed, she was known to whip out her trombone and join her fellow instrumentalists in the BBC Big Band for non-broadcast concerts. Musicians knew that she understood their world, and respected her enthusiasm for their craft. This became readily apparent when Tracy, who has died aged 80, turned interviewer and assembled the reminiscences of big-band players in two highly regarded books.
When the BBC decided in 2000 that she should be replaced as presenter of Big Band Special, there was an outcry among fans, but to no avail. However, commercial radio soon came calling and Swingtime with Sheila ran on Primetime Radio until the station folded in 2006.
She was born Sheila Lugg, in Mullion, Cornwall. Early musical promise led her to the Royal Academy of Music in London where she studied the piano, violin and trombone. It was as a trombonist that she joined the popular Ivy Benson All Girls Band in 1956, travelling and playing seaside residencies for the next two years. While in the band, she teamed up with the trombonist and vocalist Phyl Brown, the duo adopting the stage name the Tracy Sisters and performing successfully in variety and on radio and television. Their cabaret jobs around the world included three months at the Great Eastern hotel in Calcutta, but the prospect of a six-month engagement in Las Vegas was too much for Brown, and the act broke up.
Tracy's mother then suggested she approach BBC Television with the idea of becoming an announcer. She became one of the last of the on-screen continuity announcers, also once doubling on trombone with the jazz musician George Chisholm on the Black and White Minstrel Show. Tracy then moved to regional TV news presentation, working on Spotlight South West in Plymouth, Points West in Bristol and South Today in Southampton, while also co-presenting A Spoonful of Sugar on BBC1 with Michael Aspel for several years.
She moved to BBC Radio in 1974, initially as one of four specialist newsreaders broadcasting from parliament, before transferring to Radio 2 in 1977 and cementing her allegiance to Big Band Special from 1979. The programme was centred on the BBC Big Band, which was then a contracted BBC orchestra, and often involved 50 or more outside broadcasts a year. One of her personal highlights was its three-week American tour with George Shearing as star guest in 1992. Tracy was known to join the trombones as and when needed, and sometimes conducted the band when Barry Forgie, its musical director, opted to play the fifth trombone part himself.
In the end, she spent 21 years with Big Band Special, also presenting a three-hour overnight programme and introducing the Truckers Hour, when she invited contact from lorry drivers, this sometimes resulting in coarser language than the BBC could stomach. This programme was pulled after a year.
Once her BBC time was done, in addition to her Primetime Radio show, Tracy hosted a show for Pure Jazz Radio in the US, and another for Age UK's station The Wireless. She had developed an interest in brass band music, and regularly compered the national championship gala concerts at the Royal Albert Hall.
Her first book of interviews with big-band musicians, Bands, Booze and Broads, appeared in 1995 and concentrated on top American players; Talking Swing, which followed two years later, put the spotlight on British instrumentalists. The openness of their comments were a tribute to Tracy's empathy as an interviewer, and the books provided an illuminating picture of life on the road.
Tracy was made a freeman of the City of London in 1997 and an associate of the Royal Academy of Music. She was a former president of the British Trombone Society.
Tracy's husband, John Arnatt, died in 1999. She is survived by their son.

If you haven't been following the Good Day Blimp Fundraiser get ready because it's happening. If you live in Los Angeles look to the skies on January 20 for the Goodyear Blimp. It is a key part in the fundraiser that will support our Network member, A Place Called Home.
The concept of the fundraiser comes from Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day," where he details a violence-free day in South Central Los Angeles. The song is fiction, but comedian Donovan Strain analyzed the song and figured out that the "Good Day" was January 20, 1992.
Four friends, Jon Barco, Andy Dao, Bryan Denman, and Michael Lopez, took inspiration from this and put together this fundraiser to remind people that good days do exist and to persuade Goodyear to fly the blimp for charity. Their goal is to raise $25,000 through Crowdtilt and are currently halfway there.
The project was written about by CNN's Jarrett Bellini, where he was able to interview Ice Cube at the CNN Center in Atlanta while promoting his new move Ride Along. Click here to read Bellini's article for more information about the fundraiser, the song, and Strain's research.
Additionally, when Ice Cube was on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on January 15, he promoted the fundraiser and committed to helping it reach the monetary goal by donating the difference to get the project to $25,000. Click here to watch the video clip.
Yesterday, Goodyear sent out a Tweet with a letter from Paul Fitzhenry, the Senior Vice President of Global Communications, giving their offer.
Goodyear's offer reads, "We'd like to fly the Goodyear Blimp on January 20th over Los Angeles, and also use that opportunity to give rides to a group of the kids of A Place Called Home." The letter goes on to say, "and one more thing. To make this a truly GREAT Day for the kids of A Place Called Home, we're inviting you to Ride Along with the kids and proudly display the message 'It's A Good Day' on the side of the blimp."
We hope you are able help them reach their goal. To donate and learn more about the fundraiser please visit their website: https://gooddayblimp.crowdhoster.com/good-day-blimp. If you donate $60 you will get a limited edition blimp poster by Michael Marsicano.
If not be sure, be sure to take to Twitter using #GoodDayBlimp, @icecube, @GoodyearBlimp, @Gooddayblimp, and @apch2830, and be a part of the "Good Day."

How Much Of Training To Invest In Morons?
October 31, 2014 - Qualitas Global
Once upon a time, a boy named Hameed lived in a tiny primitive Moroccan village.
He was a moron and all his classmates hated him for his stupidity, especially his teacher Aisha who was always yelling at him, "You are driving me crazy Hameed".
One day his mother went to check out how is he doing and the teacher Aisha told her honestly that her son is simply a disaster, getting very low marks and that she had never seen such a dumb boy in her whole career.
The mother could not accept such a feedback and not only did she take her son out from that school but she even shifted to another city and decide to educate him herself.
25 years later, that teacher got an incurable cardio disease and all the doctors had strongly advised her to go for an open heart operation which only one surgeon could perform effectively…
Left with no other choice she did the surgery and it was successful. When she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome doctor smiling at her. Being under anesthesia effect, she would have loved to thank him but could not talk. He was staring at her face which started turning to blue, she was raising her hand trying to tell him something but in vain and she eventually died.
The doctor was shocked and was trying hard to understand what just happened; till he turned back and saw our friend Hameed working as a cleaner in that hospital who had unplugged the oxygen device to connect his Mobile Charger.
Don't tell me you were thinking that Hameed became a doctor.

Thursday, 07 April 2011 05:14 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government's color-coded warning system is being replaced with a more specific and informative plan that would offer two levels of alerts — elevated and imminent.
According to a draft Homeland Security Department plan obtained by The Associated Press, the public could see the warnings on Facebook and Twitter.
The color-coded system has been one of the government's most visible counterterrorism tools since 9/11.
The government's terror warnings could be withheld from the public entirely if announcing a threat would risk exposing an intelligence operation or an ongoing investigation, according to the government's confidential plan. The new system is expected to be in place by April 27.

A month and a half ago I wrote this article, and intended it to be entertainment only. The other night on world news I actually saw elementary children being taught to sing their praise to Obama to the tune of religious hymns. It's degrading to see teachers and adults filling our children's heads with propaganda. I hope in the future I will still be able to say In God We Trust and not some self-proclaimed messiah in Washington, DC.
In my opinion the following is some of the worst garbage I have ever encountered.
Link to children singing praise to Obama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdPSqL9_mfM
I have tried in all fairness to study this administration in a positive manor, but can't come up with any answer but the following.
Our people could be standing before the flag, hand over heart saying -
"I pledge allegiance to Hussein Obama of the United States of America and to the government control for which he stands. We are now one Nation under sensor-ship with poverty and socialism for all."
Our school children could be singing to the tune of Jesus Loves Me -
"Obama loves me this I know, dear Joe Biden told me so, little tax payers to him belong, we are weak but he is strong, etc."
Vice President Joe Biden - to me is a straight forward man. He says what's on his mind even though it gets him in the dog house sometimes. I admire a person for their honesty even when it gets them in trouble.
Robert Gibbs - When this man speaks I just stand listening in amazement, this is how he sounds - "That's a good question. Now if aah, you aah'm, well like took you know, took $50 billion dollars and aah, put it here, you would well like aah'm, do this with it aah you know. Are there any more questions?"
Nancy Pelosi - is one of a kind. She thinks she is the Messiah to Congress, she speaks out of both sides of her mouth and I don't think she can be trusted. I picture Obama sitting in a shoe-shine chair with Nancy at his feet holding a rag singing -
"Gotta Keep on poppin', yea keep on a poppin' that shine. I keep a gold painted broom by my desk in case I have to take an emergency flight. I call it the Pelosi Golden Eagle."
Janet Napolitano - I picture this woman standing at a border crossing facing Mexico with a big grin on her face, waving for them to come over and holding citizenship papers that says Welcome to America.
Timothy Geithner in charge of our taxes - I picture him on bended knees begging for people to pay their taxes so he can borrow from them because he forgot to pay his.
I could go on, but think you get the drift of my conversation about how I feel concerning this administration.

|The Promise of Vaping and the Rise of Juul
|Vaping, Juul, trends, paraphernalia
Teens have taken a technology that was supposed to help grownups stop smoking and invented a new kind of bad habit, molded in their own image.
"Juul is already a massive public-health disaster—and without dramatic action it's going to get much, much, much worse."
Winickoff believes that the vape industry is co-opting the national wellness trend—"when, in fact, vaping can cause something called bronchiolitis obliterans, or popcorn lung," he said. Popcorn lung has been linked to diacetyl, an organic compound that some companies use in their e-liquid, and that has been detected as a by-product of e-cigarette vapor. But diacetyl has also been detected in cigarette smoke, at a level hundreds of times greater, and no feasible amount of smoking has been found to cause popcorn lung. (Juul does not use diacetyl in its liquid, and, in tests, the company has found no measurable amounts of diacetyl in the vapor emitted by its devices.)
|Fatal Car Crashes Happen More Often Than Usual on 4/20, Study Finds
|4/20, Fatalities, paraphernalia, getsmart
(TIME) April 20, also known as "420," is a day popular with many marijuanasmokers who see it as a "national holiday" of sorts and celebrate by getting high. The term "420" originated in the 1970s with a group of California high schoolers who would regularly meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke weed.

Answer to Question #22058 in Organic Chemistry for salman
Question #22058
explain the isomerism exhibited by melic and funmeric acids
Expert's answer
The geometrical isomerism of ethylene compounds has been studied in great detail using the example of maleic and fumaric acids. Both acids are colorless crystals. Maleic acid, the cis isomer (I), has a melting point of 130°C and a boiling point of 160°C; fumaric acid, the trans isomer (II), has a melting point of 286°C and a boiling point of 290°Maleic acid dissolves readily in water and ether; fumaric acid is practically insoluble in water and nearly all organic solvents. Maleic acid is stronger than fumaric acid but less stable. It is readily converted to fumaric acid under exposure to light or upon heating to temperatures above 200°C. Fumaric acid is converted to maleic acid upon exposure to ultraviolet irradiation.

Chapter 1
Man has always reflected upon his condition, has thought that he is not as he would like to be, has defined more or less accurately the faults of his manner of functioning, has made in fact his 'auto-criticism'. This work of criticism, sometimes rough-and-ready, attains at other times on the contrary, and in a number of directions, a very high degree of depth and subtlety. The undesirable aspects of the natural1 man's inward functioning are often very accurately recognised and described.
[1. The expression 'the natural man' in this book describes man as he is before the condition known as satori.]
With regard of this wealth of diagnosis one is struck by the poverty of therapeutic effect. The schools which have taught and which continue to teach the subject of Man, after having demonstrated what does not go right in the case of the natural man, and why that does not go right, necessarily come to the question 'How are we to remedy this state of affairs?' And there begins the confusion and the poverty of doctrines. At this point nearly all the doctrines go astray, sometimes wildly, sometimes, subtly, except the doctrine of Zen (and even here it is necessary to specify 'some masters of Zen').
It is not to be denied that in other teachings some men have been able to obtain their realisation. But a clear explanation of the matter and a clear refutation of the false methods is only to be found in pure Zen.
The essential error of all the false methods lies in the fact that the proposed remedy does not reach the root-cause of the natural man's misery. Critical analysis of man's condition does not go deep enough into the determining cause of his inner phenomena; it does not follow the links of this chain down to the original phenomenon. It stops too quickly at the symptoms. The searcher who does not see further than such and such a symptom, whose analytic thought, exhausted, stops there, evidently is not able to conceive a remedy for the whole situation except as a development, concerted and artificial, of another symptom radically opposed to the symptom that is incriminated. For example: a man arrives at the conclusion that his misery is the result of his manifestations of anger, conceit, sensuality, etc., and he will think that the cure should consist in applying himself to produce manifestations of gentleness, humility, asceticism, etc. Or perhaps another man, more intelligent this one, will come to the conclusion that his misery is a result of his mental agitation, and he will think that the cure should consist in applying himself, by such and such exercises, to the task of tranquillising his mind. One such doctrine will say to us, 'Your misery is due to the fact that you are always desiring something, to your attachment to what you possess', and this will result, according to the degree of intelligence of the master, in the advice to give away all your possessions, or to learn to detach yourself inwardly from the belongings that you continue to own outwardly. Another such doctrine will see the key to the man's misery in his lack of self-mastery, and will prescribe 'Yoga', methods aimed at progressive training of the body, or of feelings, or of the attitude towards others, or of knowledge, or of attention.
All that is, from the Zen point of view, just animal-training and leads to one kind of servitude or another (with the illusory and exalting impression of attaining freedom). At the back of all that there is the following simple-minded reasoning: 'Things are going badly with me in such and such a way; very well, from now on I am going to do exactly the opposite.' This way of regarding the problem, starting from a form that is judged to be bad, encloses the searcher within the limits of a domain that is formal, and, as a result deprives him of all possibility of re-establishing his consciousness beyond all form; when I am enclosed within the limits of the plane of dualism no reversal of method will deliver me from the dualistic illusion and restore me to Unity. It is perfectly analogous to the problem of 'Achilles and the Tortoise'; 2 the manner of posing the problem encloses it within the very limits that it is necessary to overstep, and as a result, renders it insoluble.
The penetrating thought of Zen cuts through all our phenomena without stopping to consider their particularities. It knows that in reality nothing is wrong with us and that we suffer because we do not understand that everything works perfectly, because in consequence we believe falsely that all is not well and that it is necessary to put something right. To say that all the trouble derives from the fact that man has an illusory belief that he lacks something would be an absurd statement also, since the 'lack' of which it speaks is unreal and because an illusory belief, for that reason unreal, could not be the cause of anything whatever. Besides, if I look carefully, I do not find positively in myself this belief that I lack something (how could there be positively present the illusory belief in an absence?); what I can state is that my inward phenomena behave as if this belief were there; but, if my phenomena behave in this manner, it is not on account of the presence of this belief, it is because the direct intellectual intuition that nothing is lacking sleeps in the depths of my consciousness, that this has not yet been awakened therein; it is there, for I lack nothing and certainly not that, but it is asleep and cannot manifest itself. All my apparent 'trouble' derives from the sleep of my faith in the perfect Reality; I have, awakened in me, nothing but 'beliefs' in what is communicated to me by my senses and my mind working on the dualistic plane (beliefs in the non-existence of a Perfect Reality that is One); and these beliefs are illusory formations, without reality, consequences of the sleep of my faith. I am a 'man of little faith', more exactly without any faith, or, still better, of sleeping faith, who does not believe in anything he does not see on the formal plane. (This idea of faith, present but asleep, enables us to understand the need that we experience, for our deliverance, of a Master to awaken us, of a teaching, of a revelation; for sleep connotes precisely the deprivation of that which can awaken.)
In short everything appears to be wrong in me because the fundamental idea that everything is perfectly, eternally and totally positive, is asleep in the centre of my being, because it is not awakened, living and active therein. There at last we touch upon the first painful phenomenon, that from which all the rest of our painful phenomena derive. The sleep of our faith in the Perfect Reality that is One (outside which nothing 'is') is the primary phenomenon from which the whole of the entangled chain depends; it is the causal phenomenon; and no therapy of illusory human suffering can be effective if it be applied anywhere but there.
To the question 'What must I do to free myself?' Zen replies: 'There is nothing you need do since you have never been enslaved and since there is nothing in reality from which you can free yourself.' This reply can be misunderstood and may seem discouraging because it contains an ambiguity inherent in the word 'do'. Where the natural man is concerned the action required resolves itself dualistically, into conception and action, and it is to the action, to the execution of his conception that the man applies the word 'do'. In this sense Zen is right, there is nothing for us to 'do'; everything will settle itself spontaneously and harmoniously as regards our 'doing' precisely when we cease to set ourselves to modify it in any manner and when we strive only to awaken our sleeping faith, that is to say when we strive to conceive the primordial idea that we have to conceive. This complete idea, spherical as it were and immobile, evidently does not lead to any particular action, it has no special dynamism, it is this central purity of Non-Action through which will pass, untroubled, the spontaneous dynamism of real natural life. Also one can and one should say that to awaken and to nourish this conception is not 'doing' anything in the sense that this word must necessarily have for the natural man, and even that this awakening in the domain of thought is revealed in daily life by a reduction (tending towards cessation) of all the useless operations to which man subjects himself in connexion with his inner phenomena.
Evidently it is possible to maintain that to work in order to conceive an idea is to 'do' something. But considering the sense that this word has for the natural man, it is better, in order to avoid a dangerous misunderstanding, to talk as Zen talks and to show that work that can do away with human distress is work of pure intellect which does not imply that one 'does' anything in particular in his inner life and which implies, on the contrary, that one ceases to wish to modify it in any way.
Let us look at the question more closely still. Work which awakens faith in the unique and perfect Reality which is our 'being' falls into two movements. In a preliminary movement our discursive thought conceives all the ideas needed in order that we may theoretically understand the existence in us of this faith which is asleep, and in the possibility of its awakening, and that only this awakening can put an end to our illusory sufferings. During this preliminary movement the work effected can be described as 'doing' something. But this theoretical understanding, supposing it to have been obtained, changes nothing as yet in our painful condition: it must now be transformed into an understanding that is lived, experienced by the whole of our organism, an understanding both theoretical and practical, both abstract and concrete; only then will our faith be awakened. But this transformation, this passing beyond 'form', could not be the result of any deliberate work 'done' by the natural man who is entirely blind to that which is not 'formal'. There is no 'path' towards deliverance, and that is evident since we have never really been in servitude and we continue not to be so; there is nowhere to 'go', there is nothing to 'do'. Man has nothing directly to do in order to experience his liberty that is total and infinitely happy. What he has to do is indirect and negative; what he has to understand, by means of work, is the deceptive illusion of all the 'paths' that he can seek out for himself and try to follow. When his persevering efforts shall have brought him the perfectly clear understanding that all that he can 'do' to free himself is useless, when he has definitely stripped of its value the very idea of all imaginable 'paths', then 'satori' will burst forth, a real vision that there is no 'path' because there is nowhere to go, because, from all eternity, he was at the unique and fundamental centre of everything.
So the 'deliverance', so-called, which is the disappearance of the illusion of being in servitude, succeeds chronologically an inner operation but is not in reality caused by it. This inward formal operation cannot be the cause of that which precedes all form and consequently precedes it; it is only the instrument through which the First Cause operates. In fact the famous narrow gate does not exist in the strict sense of the word, any more than the path onto which it might open; unless one might wish so to call the understanding that there is no path, that there is no gate, that there is nowhere to go because there is no need to go anywhere. That is the great secret, and at the same time the great indication, that the Zen masters reveal to us.

This is outrages!!! Diddy isn't convincing to me as an actor...not in the least. I still 'see'/'hear' Diddy when he's onscreen. SMH. There are better actors who could portray the legendary Miles.
