MADISON, WI (WSAU) - A record has been broken in Wisconsin government. The new record? 36 years, 7 months and 4 days. That is how long Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson has been on the bench. That passes the previous longest tenure of Orsamus Cole, who was on Wisconsin's Supreme Court from 1855 until 1892.
The 79-year-old justice has been there since 1976 and became chief justice in 1996. She was re-elected to the Supreme Court to serve 10 more years in 2009. She was also the first woman to serve in Wisconsin's highest court.
Abrahamson broke Cole's service record Wednesday.

SATURDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- A good pair of sunglasses can help protect your eyes from sun-related damage, so you need to know what to look for when shopping for a new pair, experts say.
Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun is associated with a number of eye conditions, including cataracts, skin cancer on the eyelid and around the eyes, melanoma of the eye, and benign growths on the surface of the eye, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.
In the United States, there are no federal standards for sunglasses and labels are inconsistent and confusing. Tags or stickers that say "blocks UV" or "UV absorbent" are meaningless because they don't tell you how much UV is blocked.
Your best bet is to look for sunglasses that claim to block most or all UV. For example, "99-100 percent UV absorbent" or "UV 400." However, there is no independent verification for such claims, so you might want to have an optician test your sunglasses to find out if they block all or most UV, the UC Berkeley researchers noted in a university news release.
For those not in the market for a new pair of shades, it might be a good idea to have your old sunglasses tested, because scratches and abrasions can wear down UV coating over time. An optician can also put a UV-protective coat on sunglasses.
Be aware that darker lenses don't necessarily provide greater UV protection. And, darker lenses that don't block UV can be more harmful than wearing no sunglasses at all because they cause pupils to open wider and allow more UV to enter your eyes.
The larger the frames of your sunglasses, the better. Wrap-around sunglasses block light coming in through the side, according to the news release, but they may cause distortion.
Everyone should wear sunglasses when spending time outdoors, including children (their eyes are especially vulnerable to UV) and people who wear contact lenses. Even if contacts are UV-treated, they don't cover the whole eye.
Sunglasses are essential for people who are sun-sensitive due to medications or other reasons, and for those who have had cataract surgery. Light-colored eyes are particularly vulnerable to UV, according to the news release.

Icy roads and freezing rain caused an 11-car pileup in northwest suburban Schaumburg Saturday night, according to Illinois State Police.
The accident happened about 11:06 p.m. on the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway near Gary Avenue, Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Bart Lamb said. Eleven cars were involved in the pileup.
"There was a short time where all of a sudden it turned into freezing rain and it was instant ice," Lamb said.
Two people suffered minor injuries but did not require transport to hospitals, Lamb said.
A mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow will continue overnight in the Chicago area, and "spotty freezing drizzle" is expected through Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

Why not just scale the gas tax on the average MPG of the 1993 rate. In other words if it was 30 cents when the average was 25 MPG and now it is 30 mpg just raise it to 35 cents. I guess this is too simple and does not require a whole new bureaucracy.

just one question? I can create a (page) with password? I've seen that I can create an album, but not one page.
Yep you sure can! Password protected pages are a default WordPress feature actually, you just need to select it from the Publish page box under the visibility option.
I purchased the Theme a few weeks ago. My work in progress is here http://showhive.com/demo/ Love it. Thank you~ I am having trouble with the "Album: Photos" widget. On the live demo version here on ThemeForest, when I click on a photo thumb in the "Album: Photos" widget (footer display area) it opens a very nice light box type display. On my website http://showhive.com/demo/ when I click on a photo thumb in the "Album: Photos" widget (footer display area) it opens a page that has a messed up navigation and doesn't look great. I want my "Album: Photos" widget to do the same thing that the Live Demo does. Can you guide me?
Wow your site is visually arresting! Absolutely love it! Yes we can certainly help you out with that. If you could hop over to our support desk and open up a ticket, we'll get you sorted out – http://support.t2themes.com/
Also, when your site is all done, would you mind if we showcased it on our theme shop? – http://t2themes.com/themes/chroma
Lead Designer
Elizabeth, Thank you so much. I would love for your to showcase it. Thanks for the compliment!
I will open a ticket today.
Thank again! Emmett
Before I purchase this theme, can I allow only register users to view some pagas (like pricing and portfolio)?
Thank you!
Hi Mili, you can have password protected pages and albums. However if by registered users you mean a member only login area, I do not believe WordPress supports this.
Thank you!
Just purchased chroma yesterday!
I've got troubles with sliders/slides. When adding a slider (ie : elastic slider) shortcode, the block appears on my page but stills loading…
Does anybody could explain me how to set-up correctly a slide (should I insert images directly into the content of it?) What am I missing?
Couldn't find the video explaining about sliders that a user talked about a few times ago… And the only help I can find into the documentation is something like "before creating a slider, you have to add slices", okay, but how to do that properly?
(btw the theme is awesome! just need to use the sliders!!)
Thank you!
Hey Jonathan, All you need to do is add your images as the 'featured image' on each of the slides you create. The documentation lays out each step to adding your images to your slider, step 4 says 'add a featured image'. If you have any more trouble feel free to stop by support so we can help you in more detail – http://themes.two2twelve.com/support/
Thank you!
I am now searching for a theme to showcase artwork. I like yours but I have a question:
Is it possible to have a masonry-grid portfolio, and when we select one image it shows social media sharing buttons?
Thank you
I forgot to add which ones: pinterest, twitter, facebook and g+...
Yes this is a feature of our theme. Here is an example of the Masonry-Grid portfolio – http://demo.t2themes.com/wordpress/chroma/albums/macro-nature/
Click any of the images here and it takes you to the image page with a share plugin that lists all popular social media sites including all that you've listed here and more – http://demo.t2themes.com/wordpress/chroma/albums/macro-nature/dandelion-wallpaper-2010-1/

Hi 2 2 12
One question before purchasing this theme: Last time i bought a photographers theme for a custumer of me, there was a very strange function or interpretation of "galery". It has been only possible to load 1 picture to 1 sheet in the galery as featured image. So please dont laugh at me, when i am asking you for the possibility to load up so much pictures in a galery as we want to do? Thanks in advance
Hi there, Not to worry that is not a strange a question at all We utilize Albums so that you are able to drag and drop as many images at one time as you'd like into your album. So for example you create an album, then click on then just grab all your images and drag them all over into your album. You can then even drag and drop to reorder them right there within WordPress
Hope that helps!

I purchased theme yesterday. I am try to setup homepage with flex sliders. I have created 3 slides with 1 image on each slide. However, my images are cropped. I am not albe uploade full images. Also when I insert shortcode in page named as home, and see it on live site images are streched out. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am creating website for first time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hey there, support for all our themes is conducted through the t2t support desk. Please stop by and post your question there and someone will help you out. – http://support.t2themes.com/

Hi Ankit, Go to your ThemeForest Dashboard menu > click on downloads > find the Chroma theme > Click the green Download button, click on License Certificate and Purchase Code to download the file and then copy and paste the string of numbers and letters from 'Item Purchase Code' This should work. If not, please email your purchase certificate to email@example.com.
I have uplaoded my initial image for favicon. It does not change after I click save and publish. Please advise w h at needs to be done.
If you haven't already, please open up a support ticket so we can have a look – http://support.t2themes.com/
Presale Question
Hello It looks great your theme. My question is if it is possible to have the menu and the opening of the menu on the left instead of the right side!
Thank you!
I'm afraid that is not an option. Vertical (standard) and right-aligned only.
Beautiful template. I'm so close to buy it.
Two questions. 1. Can the headers of the pages be changed—make it taller, wider, an image background with desired height, etc.,?
Your theme: http://demo.t2themes.com/wordpress/chroma/portrait/What I would like to do: Solid color or image background http://pexetothemes.com/demos/story_wp/header-background-image-2/
2. For the photo galleries, I am looking to have something similar to the link below. Note how you can easily go back to the gallery grid page after viewing an individual photo page large. Can it be done similar to it?http://pixieset.com/example/
Thank you so much for your time.
Hi there,
Thank you very much for the compliment on Chroma!
To answer your questions:
1. There are no built in sizing options for the header. If you are familiar with CSS this could be done with some code. 2. For the portrait demo style: yes you can use a solid color or image background 3.Yes, our albums have lightbox functionality – click on the zoom magnifying glass icon on any image here and you can view the large image and then close the lightbox to return to the gallery grid (you can also view the slideshow of thumbnails for all the pictures in the gallery in the lightbox area as well- http://demo.t2themes.com/wordpress/chroma/albums/sports/shutterstock_138072812_small/
Thanks for your questions!
Trying to insert an Alert but it doesn't display correct, its on this page http://carlomullen.com/price-list/
Any advice would be much appreciated.
thank you
Sorry just realised, i was typing and it wasn't in the box and the posted comment looks extremely rude
It did start with Hello and wondered if you would offer me some assistance
Hi there,
No worries Have you opened a support ticket yet? We'd be glad to help you sort this out in the support desk – http://themes.two2twelve.com/support/
Have logged a support ticket
not heard anything back
argh!! what happened to my site www.carlomullen.com any ideas?
ive not logged on a for a few days, can you advise?
Looks like everything is sorted here. Let us know if you need further help by contacting us through support.
Thank you
Is there any support offered anymore?
Sorry if we've taken a little longer than usual. We've had all hands on deck trying to push out 4.0 compatibility updates to our themes. We appreciate you hanging with us while we try to keep our products up to date for you.
T2T Team
thanks, I've worked all day to recover my site, and now wary of updating any plugins or Wp in case it goes again, considering a new theme after todays problem and the lack of support via the support pages
Sorry to hear about the trouble. I'm afraid though, that it was never stated that this theme is 4.0 compatible. Even still we are doing everything we can to get an update it as soon as possible.
Hi I really like this theme and would like to buy it. But my host has installed WP 4.0. Will this theme work well with the latest WordPress installation?
Hi yes, we've recently released a 4.0 compatibility update to our t2t plugin so Chroma is 4.0 ready
Hi I am awaiting response to, two support tickets. Please can you help?
Sorry to keep your waiting Tobias, I have responded and will try my best to get you sorted out as soon as possible.
Sadly this theme doesn't appear to actually let you upload background images to the header. It also won't upload logo images either on my install. The customisation has an upload button, it just doesn't do anything
No response to a support ticket. Shame, its a good theme.
Hi there,
The background header image can be uploaded in the customizer panel under the tab 'Theme Backgrounds' Also you can absolutely upload your logo image by going to 'Theme Options' tab in the customizer as well. Sorry for the wait, response time in the support desk tends to be a little slower on the weekends.

There was some small chance, of course, that during the lapse between my deadline and this newspaper plopping down on your driveway, Congress underwent a miraculous transmogrification and the United States government has not been sent sputtering into an unfunded torpor.
This would have required personality retrofits as momentous as Miley Cyrus reverting to her Hannah Montana persona. Congress would have had to have lurched from twerking to governing.
It could have happened. The sun might have come up with news that Ted Cruz's fellow Republicans convened late Monday night and voted to deport him back to his native Canada, passing a continuing resolution as an afterthought.
Or it might have been, as residents of the District of Columbia grasped the implications of a shutdown, that a ranking member of the House of Representatives received a menacing call from the wife, warning him not to mess up her plans to dump the kids off at the Smithsonian while she went shopping. I've seen House of Cards. I know how Washington works.
Sobering ramifications loomed with the possibility of a shutdown. But as the deadline approached, the pols weren't acting all that soberly. They hardly seemed chastened by the prospect of tossing nine million needy moms and babies (including a half-million Floridians) off the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. In the priorities of government shutdown, delivering food, nutritional education and help for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers is not considered an "essential service," like, say, issuing congressional paychecks. Members of Congress must soldier on with their salaries unaffected.
A shutdown would also cause Head Start to start discarding kiddies (1.1 million nationwide, 45,000 in Florida) — though the wild-eyed wing of Congress no doubt figures that it's high time these damn toddlers were taught the lesson of self-reliance.
The tea party faction knows a shutdown would disrupt research by the National Institutes of Health and disease prevention by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but it figures those godless science geeks need the time off to rethink evolution.
Veterans' disability and pension payments would be clogged up at the VA, but hardliners figure puny hardships hardly matter against the glorious prospect of shutting down the Environmental Protection Agency. Crank up those coal-fired power plants, boys — happy, if slightly leaden days are here again.
Someone might have considered, as midnight approached, that a shutdown would cut percentage points off an already-tepid recovery, with the salaries of 800,000 to a million federal workers extracted from the economy.
Meanwhile, just starting and stopping the government machinery in the 1995 shutdown fiasco cost taxpayers $1.4 billion. But $1.4 billion must seem a small price to pay to stave off far-right challengers in the 2014 primary.
Remember, if the sun comes up Tuesday with the government shut down, there were reasons why the pols in Washington stayed so mindlessly obstinate. Because the tea party gang votes. Head Start kids don't.

In a statement, Warner Bros. confirmed news of a settlement. "Warner Bros. Television, Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen have resolved their dispute to the parties' mutual satisfaction. The pending lawsuit and arbitration will be dismissed as to all parties. The parties have agreed to maintain confidentiality over the terms of the settlement."
Last week, the LA Times reported that a settlement was likely to pay Sheen somewhere in the neighborhood of $25 million.
While Sheen is looking to clean up his many messes as he attempts to sell his 'Anger Management'pilot, the Season 9 premiere of 'Two and a Half Men,' which killed off Sheen's Charlie Harper character, drew massive ratings.
Below, check out highlights from the Sheen atonement tour:

A great way to track expenses
A good, old-fashioned spreadsheet isn't as sexy as some popular Web-based tools, but it's very effective in getting the job done.
This post comes from Len Penzo at partner blog Len Penzo dot Com.
I've been diligently managing my personal finances and tracking household expenses for more than 20 years.
How diligent, you ask?
Well, I can tell you that my cable bill in February 1998 was $8.03, and that I spent $141.16 in 2006 for an annual subscription to the Los Angeles Times. I can also verify with certainty that 7% of my income in 2007 went toward groceries, and I can vouch that I spent $88.95 at my local Kmart in August 2001. Just don't ask me what I bought there, because I'm not that thorough with my record-keeping.
Why tracking expenses is important
Taking the time to track and analyze your income and where it's going is a crucial element of managing your personal finances. That's because doing so uncovers hidden money leaks so you can better allocate your resources, thereby ensuring you always get the most out your paycheck. It makes it easier to set financial goals, too.
Of course, if you want to track your expenses, you have to record them somewhere.
While it's not impossible, trying to track all your cash purchases can be extremely tedious and time-consuming. On the other hand, everything purchased on your credit and debit cards is automatically recorded and available for review online or as part of your monthly billing statements -- which is why I use credit cards for as much as I possibly can. (Post continues below video.)
As for keeping tabs on how you spend your money, a panoply of options is available. I realize that many people are initially attracted to sites like Mint.com, OneBudget, Adaptu, and MyBudget-Online because their automation features essentially make the job of tracking your money almost effortless. The trouble is, in the world of personal finance I believe too much automation can be a curse. That's because when money management tools become too user-friendly, a lot of folks have very little incentive to understand the data being made available to them.
For the financially undisciplined, over time that's a surefire recipe for failure.
The big advantage of spreadsheets
For me, the more old-school, hands-on approach is the only way to go: I use my own custom-designed Excel spreadsheet because it forces me to actively manage my personal finances. It also gives me more control than I'd have using a Web-based site like Mint.
In fact, every January I give my readers a peek at some of that spreadsheet's top-level graphs and financial breakdowns in my annual State of the Household post.
True, a spreadsheet is not as sexy as automated money-tracking, Web-based applications, but it's the same tried-and-true method I've been successfully using to track my income, net worth and expenses for more than 15 years.
Although the custom Excel spreadsheet I developed was quite simple in the beginning, it has grown in detail and complexity over the years, with pie charts and graphs that clearly show the results of our household spending and current trending patterns.
Today, my spreadsheet breaks out our household expenses into 13 major categories and 50 subcategories. The major categories include:
- Loans
- Utilities
- Medical and dental
- Automobile expenses
- Groceries
- House expenses (excluding the mortgage)
- Entertainment
- Taxes
- ATM withdrawals
And a few more quick tips
- If you're just starting out, it's important to make sure you set aside about an hour or so at least once a month for reviewing your checkbook, receipts, and/or credit card statements and recording those expenses on your spreadsheet.
- By frequently updating your financial spreadsheet, you'll not only be able to quickly catch any potential errors on your billing statements, but you'll also keep from falling hopelessly behind on your record-keeping duties.
- If you're not an expert in Excel, there's no need for despair. Microsoft has scores of budgeting worksheet templates for you to download and modify to suit your needs. In fact, its "personal budget worksheet" template has been downloaded more than 3.6 million times. (MIcrosoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)
- If you've never used a spreadsheet, don't be intimidated. They're not hard to use. Yes, spreadsheets are extremely powerful tools for those who know how to take advantage of all they have to offer. But for most folks, the basics needed to properly track expenses can be learned in less than 30 minutes.
- If you don't want to spend money on a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel, you can try the free equivalent from OpenOffice. I've used OpenOffice before, and it's an extremely capable alternative. You can also take advantage of the free personal finance templates provided by Google Docs.
- Once you've effectively disciplined yourself to always spend less than you earn, tracking expenses becomes a viable alternative to budgeting that allows you to focus on optimizing your finances in order to get the most bang for your buck.
- And last but not least, remember this: In the end, it doesn't really matter what tool you use. What is important is your commitment to actively manage your finances.

I use microsoft money as my check register. Download every few days from bank account to keep up to date. But, I do not spend cash unless I have to. I have no checks and very rarely use the debit card. My bills are all listed so I can put them in for as far ahead as I want...generally 30-45 days out. Since I am on salary there is no uncertainty about how much my paycheck will be. I am able to plan out how much of the highest interest debt I will pay off well in advance. My last credit card debt will be paid off this month. I use one credit card for everything as it pays me 2% cash back...but I make sure to keep the card paid off so I am not charged interest on it.
I did create a one page spreadsheet for tracking that all bills are paid. Color coded to indicate whether it has been paid or even better nothing was owed. Yellow indicates paid and green for nothing owed in a given month.
Actually only pay 4 of all the bills directly from the checking account (that I have no checks for...lol). All others are paid with the one credit card that pays me for using it. While I do not bother with tracking expenses, what I do take seriously is how much it will cost me to use someone else's' money (whether in the form of a loan or credit card debt). Not whether I can afford the payments...but the actual cost. Just spent $339.00 yesterday. Used a card I have not used in years with a company I do not like (you guessed Sears?). Will pay Sears $0.00 for the pleasure of using their card to pay for an item I needed. The secret is in ENSURING that it is paid off in the 12 months. The last card I carried a balance on that charged interest was 7.24 %.
Even reviewed our mortgage to find we could save $42,000.00 (over the life of the loan) by eliminating the PMI and modify the note from 30 years to 15 years. There is negligible savings beyond lowering a mortgage to 15 years...but do the math and then what is right for you.
While Len's last sentence is dead on right...I would modify the point made before it.
Make sure you understand the cost of everything you do...Borrowing money can be done wisely only when you are very aware of what the cost will be. When using 0% offers for instance watch out for this phrase: "if paid in the 12 month period..." I currently have 3 balances at 0% and have ensured that they will be paid off before interest is charged on any of them.
Oh, 1 hour a month? LMAO ... I obsess with tracking, paying bills, checking accounts for activity and the like. Probably spend an hour every few days making sure everything is right and on track.

Over two years ago I ignored the naysayers and ventured off the beaten path to start my own freelance career. Starting from nothing, I learned new skills, found my first clients, and even brought some of my own side projects to life.
I wrote this ebook as a means to help others start, learn, and grow their own freelance career. I want to share what I've learned along the way, and provide others with the information I wish I had when getting started.
If you like the idea of making your own schedule, if you want to spend more time with your family, if you'd like to take control of how much you earn, or if any of the many perks of a freelance lifestyle sound appealing to you, then it's time for you to start your freelance career!
Who's this ebook for?
This ebook is for graphic designers, developers, writers, photographers, and any other individual that would like to be their own boss.
Perhaps you were laid off from a full-time position and need to start getting some income flowing back into your bank account.
Maybe you design or shoot photos as a hobby right now, but want to transition those efforts into a career.
Whatever has you considering a life of freelance, Start Your Freelance Career will help you come out on the other side with a stable client base doing what you love!
"But I have no experience with running a business."
If you don't have any experience with running a business (finances, time management, client communication, etc.), don't worry. That's something you will learn along the way and topics that will be covered in the ebook.
When I first started my freelance career, I had little to no real-world experience with running a business. To this day I'm still learning as I go.
It's not important to know everything about business when you're just getting started. All it takes is the passion to succeed and your willingness to take action.

Will your pet bankrupt you?
Before you adopt that cute mutt or exotic fish, be sure you know what the animal's needs are -- and that you have a plan to deal with unexpected expenses.
Related topics: debt, bills, spending, insurance, Liz Weston
We have one really nice rug in our house: a Turkish wool number that my husband inherited from an aunt.
That is, of course, the rug our new dog decided to eat. The pooch didn't complete his task, but repairing the damage set us back $500.
That sum paled compared with what a relative could have faced in vet bills when her dog developed a series of serious but treatable ailments. The bills topped $16,000. Luckily, she had bought pet insurance right before the first diagnosis, and most of the bills were covered.
Readers had similar stories, and not everyone has pet insurance to cover the costs. Diane Jarvis Powers of Thousand Oaks, Calif., looked into coverage after her dog's first surgery to remove strings from a rope toy that blocked his intestines, but decided the insurance was too expensive and had too many exclusions. Little did she know the dog, a purebred Sheltie adopted from a friend, wasn't done: He then scarfed down T-shirt strips her son had thrown in the trash, requiring another surgery.
"That 'free' dog has cost us $10,000 so far," Powers wrote on my Facebook fan page.
Dogs aren't the only animals that cost their owners money. Readers described surgeries to treat horses with colic, cats that required diabetes medication and dental treatments, and even a lizard that received two months of expensive care before it died.
The point is: Pet ownership can be expensive, above and beyond the costs of acquiring, accommodating, feeding and grooming the animal. Bad luck or poor preparation could leave you facing catastrophic bills.

And that's assuming your pet never hurts anyone. A single act of aggression could cost you $25,000 or more. Even owning certain breeds of dogs with a reputation for aggression can mean losing your homeowners insurance.
If owning a pet is important to you -- and believe me, our dog has brought immense joy into our lives, in addition to minor property damage -- then here are some suggestions for how to cope:
- Do your research. Before you seek out or agree to adopt a pet, make sure you understand the setup and continuing costs in both money and time. This chart from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals outlines the first-year expenses you can expect for various types of animals, ranging from $235 for a fish to more than $1,800 for a large dog. Rescue groups and discussions with other owners of your type of pet can help you understand the time commitment involved. Also, check with your homeowners insurance company to find out if it blacklists any dog breeds. If so, consider other breeds or shop around, since insurers differ considerably in what they will and won't cover.
- Pet-proof your house. Just as you'd take safety measures before bringing a baby into your home, you'll need to consider hazards to your new pet. That means removing or securing toxic plants, electrical cords, small objects and even clothing (especially underwear, which both dogs and cats will eat). If you have both a dog and a cat, you'll need to figure out a way to prevent the canine from treating the litter box as a candy dish. (Yuck, I know, but what's called coprophagia isn't uncommon with dogs.) Daily vigilance in keeping hazards away is essential.
- Invest in training -- and diversions. Our dog trainer Paul Owens, a co-author of "The Puppy Whisperer," notes that if you don't keep your dog occupied it will become "self-employed" in positions such as gardener (digging in the yard) or interior decorator (chewing up the furniture). Proper training and appropriate toys can help. Ask friends for referrals to trainers or check with a pet store. Chain pet stores often offer affordable group classes.
- Consider pet insurance. Experts are still divided about whether pet insurance is worth the money. Consumer Reports advises setting up a savings account to pay for vet care, but if you're the type of person who would do anything to save your animal, pet insurance can make more sense.

Why Groupon Might Be its Own Best Deal in 2013
Richard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's hard to quantify how unimpressive, if not pathetic, 2012 has been for deals giant Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN). Not only has the stock lost roughly 80% so far this year, but the company's founder, Andrew Mason, has been honored with landing the top spot among the worst CEOs of 2012. How much worse can it get?
As it stands, Groupon's current market cap of $3 billion highlights the company's poor leadership and chronic failures, because only two years ago the company rejected a $6 billion acquisition offer from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Instead of taking the money and running, management has since run the business into the ground.
Nonetheless, Groupon seems to have a loyal base of customers and investors that still believe in its future. That's all well and good. However, on the heels of the company's Q3 earnings report, it seems too high of a price is being paid for such misguided devotion.
Q3 Affirms Good Idea, But Terrible Business
Groupon is a testament to why not every great idea translates into a great business. And the odds of success are more dreadful without an experienced leader at the helm. So far, Groupon is 0-for-2. The company reported a net loss of $3 million. On a per share basis, this was enough to break even. However, it represented a sequential decline even though it bested the $54 million loss in 2011.
Revenues grew 32%, reaching $569 million. It sounds good, but it was 4% short of estimates of $591 million. Likewise, gross billings were abysmal. Although the metric grew 5% year-over-year, it nonetheless represents a 5% sequential decline. This is the metric that indicates the total amount of money spent by consumers on Groupon's deals.
Management said that continued weakness in Europe offset what has been a strong performance in North America. Investors then punished the stock, sending shares down 16% to $3.30 following the announcement. The bleeding continued the following day, falling another 20% and reaching a new 52-week low of $2.60. What's next?
Will the Business Model Ever Work?
I'd like to look on the bright side. But fundamental flaws abound. And unfortunately, Groupon has yet to convince the Street that it can sustain its business and make money. Although the company deserves credit for growing revenues in North America by 81%, sorry to say, that's just not enough.
For instance, when a business is bleeding cash (as evident from free cash flow dropping 50% from one quarter to the next), something needs to be done. I suppose there can be a silver lining here - but it's thin. The company is expecting a slight up-tick in performance for the fourth quarter, forecasting revenue in the range of $625 to $675 million.
That the midpoint of the range eclipsed analysts' estimates of $635 million demonstrates the company's confidence. But execution is what matters. Plus, management assured investors of better international performance and said that it is working to improve (among other things) mobile support, personalization as well as improvements in its deals mix. But will it be enough?
…Another Person's Treasure
All of that said, Groupon still has a chance to become 2013's best deal. As I indicated earlier, following its Q3 report the stock dropped to a new 52-week low of $2.60 – except it didn't stay there for very long. Tiger Global Management LLC, a hedge fund operated by Chase Coleman and Feroz Dewan, immediately acquired 65 million shares of the company, which equates to 9.9% for $202 million.
Although I can say one person's trash is another person's treasure, make no mistake, this was not an impulsive move. Prior to this acquisition, Tiger Global had already owned over 1 million shares of Groupon. Also, among many of the fund's other holdings is none other than Google, in which it owns over a half billion ($527 million) worth of shares. So let's make the connection.
Two years ago, Google offered $6 billion for Groupon. It didn't work out. However, according to a recent Bloomberg report, Google might be reconsidering another bid. On the rumor alone, shares of Groupon soared 23%. With ties to both companies, it's hard to imagine that Tiger Global's "faith" in Groupon was blind. I'm not saying… but I'm just saying.
In other words, poor fundamentals or not, there is very limited downside risk in Groupon from current levels. And if the stock only reaches a share price of $10.51, which is the midpoint of its 52-week high, Tiger Global may end up making out like a bandit in 2013 with gains of almost 120%. So let's do the math: an investment of $202 million can potentially turn into almost half a billion ($445 million) in one year. Not a bad deal.
Bottom Line
For Tiger Global, I can be cynical and say that it's not hard to have that level of confidence when one has that type of capital. On the other hand, a cash hoard of that level is not amassed without these types of risks. For regular investors though, the company still has to execute.
Although a new "floor" has now been placed for the stock with this latest investment, organic growth is still the challenge. Groupon must nevertheless prove how it will ever earn a profit. With little to no competitive leverage this is going to be tough. The good news is the company has just been given more life. But as with every Groupon deal, there's a date of expiration.

Updated Results Show Tamoxifen Continues to Prevent
Breast Cancer
Updated results from the first-ever, large-scale breast cancer chemoprevention trial show that 5 years of tamoxifen (Nolvadex) decreases the risk of invasive and noninvasive breast cancer among women at increased risk, even after they've stopped taking the drug. According to the study authors, approximately 2.5 million women in the United States are at significant enough breast cancer risk that the potential benefit of prophylactic tamoxifen use significantly outweighs any potential risks.
The findings represent "a beginning from which a new paradigm for breast cancer prevention can evolve," says Dr. Bernard Fisher, principal investigator for the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT). "Cohorts of women at increased risk for breast cancer, who could derive a net benefit from receiving tamoxifen, have been clearly defined."
The results may also dispel some perceptions about chemoprevention, says study co-author Dr. Leslie Ford, associate director of NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention.
"There is this notion that for cancer prevention, you have to take something for the rest of your life," she says. "In this study, the beneficial effects persisted beyond the last pill."
The results, published in the November 16 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, come from the 7-year follow-up data on more than 13,000 women who participated in the NCI-funded BCPT, a randomized, double-blind trial led by the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project that compared 5 years of regular tamoxifen use with placebo in women at increased risk of breast cancer.
Consistent with the initial results, the updated data revealed that, overall, tamoxifen reduced the risk of invasive and noninvasive breast cancer (by 43 and 37 percent, respectively). The reduction was seen in all of the pre-identified trial subgroups, including those with a history of benign abnormalities such as atypical hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ.
Although breast cancer risk was reduced across all age groups, a bright line of benefit versus risk of serious adverse side effects was seen for participants 49 years of age and younger. For example, overall, there was a threefold increased risk of endometrial cancer, but there was only a slight and statistically insignificant increase in women under 49. A similar trend was seen for vascular side effects. There was also a reduced risk of fracture.
"That's one of the big messages from this trial - that tamoxifen is being underused in women under 50 who are at increased risk," says Dr. Ford. "For those women, there are demonstrable benefits with minimal risk of serious side effects."
The initial results from the BCPT, published in 1998, showed a nearly 50-percent reduction in invasive and 45-percent reduction in noninvasive cancers. The findings led to tamoxifen being the first chemopreventive drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
But in the study, tamoxifen use also was associated with an increased risk of serious side effects, including endometrial cancer, pulmonary embolism, and deep-vein thrombosis.
The 7-year follow-up data, with an average follow-up of 74 months, suggest those risks continue. However, because the trial was unblinded after the initial results were released, it also may have introduced some bias into the side effects data, Dr. Ford notes, because women who found out they were on tamoxifen were more likely to pursue follow-up related to real or perceived symptoms of side effects.
Dr. Susan M. Domchek, an assistant professor of medicine at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, says she often offers tamoxifen to appropriate patients, but "many decline to take it in this setting." So although educating clinicians about tamoxifen's benefits is still needed, "one of the major problems…is the reluctance of patients to take it," she says. "We can work on the first part more easily at this point than we can on the second."

I despise Newt Gingrich. It's not just because he's a serial philanderer, or that his current wife has lunatic eyes and a Star Trek hairdo.
No, it's because he's going to bring back the Bush administration. And by that, I don't mean more insane military adventures and floodtide immigration – heck, we've already got that under Obama. What bothers me is that he's going to wrap up those noxious policies as "real American conservatism," which they are not.
So first Newt has to lure conservative voters, and he attempts to do just that with this retch-inducing ad:
Gee, you'd never suspect that the candidate wooing the white majority with this ad was already working on "immigration reform" [translation: amnesty] that even the immigration lawyers like.
And Newt hasn't forgotten the Bushian newspeak about perpetual war being a "conservative" value, never mind its proven record of boosting big government, opening the doors to more Third-World immigration, and eroding liberty. Heck, Newt has even found his own Condoleezza Rice.
6 thoughts on "Won't get fooled again?"
I may as well vote for the messiah agian. at least it will wake people up….hopefully.
lets be specific. Newt is targeting geriatric whites aka the people who actually vote Republican aka the people voted for John McCain.
This is no time to lose heart.
Conservative establishment is crumbling. I saw a piece of the wall fall down, just yesterday, in Southern Missouri, where for the first time since '96 we will be holding a Iowa-style caucus. (Buchanan won in '96 by these means).
it only takes one day of global cooling in Iowa to keep the bluehairs home and Ron Paul is off to the races.
Yet another reason to question Newt's judgement.
If he has to continually commit adultery he should find more attractive women.
Newt is not the smartest man in the room, did he earn a Medical degree from Duke ?
Newt needs to drop 50 pounds himself.
Has anyone noticed that Mike Huckaby has regained much of the 100 pounds he lost ?
Apparently the Huckster has given up on dieting and politics for good…….
Condi was a little better looking than her. But then Bush was a little better looking than Newt.
I have always thought Condi was Bush's African concubine; she was well educated but didn't have anything to justify appointment to National Security Adviser, let alone Secretary of State.
C Bowen
I think he is targeting old White Women with this ad, the people who actually turn their minds over deciding who to vote for-not so much that they would ever attend a caucus though–that is like, what, an hour, maybe two?

Halloween without candy may be a horrifying concept for kids, but it makes for a pretty funny viral ad.
A new commercial for Crest toothpaste and Oral-B toothbrushes shows what happens when precocious children expecting to devour delicious sweets while dressed up in cute costumes are presented with "healthy Halloween treats" instead.
The new menu includes "veggie fruit chews" — with flavors such as asparagus and beet, the man who hands out the treats cheerfully announces.
The children's reactions are priceless.
"This is the most worst I ever tasted," one boy says.
"Mine tastes like broccoli, yuck!" another exclaims.
A girl tries to be polite, but ultimately can't hide her disappointment.
"It's kind of good, kind of bad," she says bravely until the man asks her to be honest. "It's bad," she concedes.
The same girl actually throws up when she tries an "artichoke buttercup." The kids also can't hide their disgust when presented with "tofu ghost mellows" and "healthy cupcakes."
Then, there's the black "nori pop," which looks like a lollipop in the sense that it features a round substance on top of a stick, but the similarities end there. "It has a fibrous quality, which is going to get your colon going in the morning," the man helpfully explains to the bewildered kids. "They're disgusting," one of the children proclaims.
The message of the ad? "Nothing is more horrifying than Halloween without candy."
The commercial, titled "Halloween Treats Gone Wrong," was filmed in a focus group room with a one-way mirror, said Rishi Dhingra, North America oral care marketing director for Procter & Gamble, the parent company of Crest and Oral-B. The kids were only told that they would be the first ones to try brand-new Halloween treats.
The "treats" were made with little or no sugar, or contained only vegetables, and were designed to look appealing, but taste nothing like candy, he added.
"The children's reactions were absolutely natural and unscripted," Dhingra told TODAY Moms. "We did not give the children any food items to sample with the intention of making them ill or causing any other adverse reactions. … Participation was voluntary and all of the children were free to leave at any point if they wanted."
Dhingra described the girl throwing up as "a candid moment," but one the company decided to keep in the video "as she was totally nonchalant about it," he said.
All of the kids stayed for the duration of the filming and were given their Halloween costumes at the end of the day, Dhingra said.
The short and long versions of the ad have had more than 3 million views on YouTube since the video was posted earlier this month.

Worried about paying back your college loan and sinking in debt? You're not alone -- and that's why one high school senior is warning students to carefully consider their budgets when selecting a school.
The Princeton Review recently revealed a surprising shift in what high school students worry about most when it comes to college. Simply put, it's "hopeless debt" -- and that's a big change from years past when students worried about getting into their dream school.
With just two months left of high school, Elliot Gaddis is focusing on the future. That means finding out where he'll go to school and how he'll pay for it.
"It's definitely something you think about," he said. "Sometimes, when you are trying to sleep at night, it pops into my head: 'Am I going to be in debt until I'm like, 50, trying to pay off college?'"
Gaddis said he started wrestling with that question after doing a project on the cost of college.
"I think it's just something that, now it's part of my generation," he said. "When it comes to picking a college, you have to think about it."
Emily Mattran is the career resource manager at Chanhassen High School, and she said while there are an unlimited number of opportunities for her students, she is taking a different approach to counseling them than she did when she started 13 years ago.
"It's becoming more and more a key piece of the conversation of 'where am I going to school?'" she explained. "Right from the get-go, the discussion of cost needs to be in there, whether it's a dream school or another school."
Yet, Mattran admits she's seeing more and more children stop applying to particular schools simply because of cost and she hopes her students will continue to dream big.
"We still think it's better to have tried and say, 'No, that's not going to work,' than have some regret when you go somewhere and say, 'I really wish,' you know?" she said.
Even so, Mattran is counseling students to consider how much the monthly loan repayments will be with the added factors of rent, food, and car bills.
As for Elliot, his dream school was once University of California Berkley, but he never applied, partially due to the cost.

Innovations for a Sustainable Resource Use – Reflections and Proposals
AbstractThis short, argumentative paper reflects the necessity and the spectrum of possible modes of policy intervention for sustainable resource use. The focus is on material productivity and its environmental, economic and employment advantages. A variety of possible interventions along the supply chain is being discussed. A new phenomenon of "policy acceleration" is described using the "experiment" of climate policy in Germany as an example. Are there lessons to be drawn from climate policy? It is time for a more ambitious policy. However, taking the complexity of material flow management into account trial and error still may be important.

The new Jason Robert Brown-Marsha Norman Broadway musical is based on the popular, but critically maligned Robert James Waller romance novel about a Italian-American housewife in 1960s Iowa who finds new love and life when a rugged photographer pulls into town to take photos of those charming structures alluded to in the title. Bartlett Sher, who has piloted O'Hara to acclaimed performances in The Light in the Piazza and South Pacific, directs.
Critics haven't always been kind to Brown since he emerged as the wunderkind composer of Parade 16 years ago, but they generally loved the musical's lush score. What they loved even more was the acting and singing of O'Hara, who with this show only burnished her reputation as the theatre's leading musical theatre actress. With most reviews, however, the praise ended there.
Ben Brantley of the New York Times basically devoted his entire review to praising O'Hara (while being a bit skimpy in his approval of anything else), writing, "I am happy to say that Ms. O'Hara more than keeps the promises made by her interpretation of that first song, one of many sumptuous pieces that feel as if they had been written specifically for her by the show's composer, Jason Robert Brown. She also confirms her position as one of the most exquisitely expressive stars in musical theater."
The AP spread the praise out a bit more evenly, saying, "Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale come just short of blowing the roof off the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in this touching doomed romance that features a superb, thrilling score by Jason Robert Brown." Variety, too, focused on the attractions at center stage: "Fussy direction and design choices and cumbersome book scenes crowd the central couple, but the gorgeous voices and thoughtful characterizations of Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale in those roles help counter the weaknesses of this problematic romantic musical."
The Wall Street Journal said of Brown's score, "Parts of it are as musically exciting as anything heard on Broadway since Stephen Sondheim's glory days" (which must have pleased an ardent Sondheim disciple like Brown), while New York Magazine went so far as to compare Brown's work to the even earlier greats, saying, "The Bridges of Madison County, though based on an insipid novel, is a very serious musical indeed, both rapturous and moral, with a gorgeous score by Jason Robert Brown. It is also one of the few recent Broadway shows to take up the challenge laid down by the great midcentury works of R&H and their cohort: to tell stories that weld important sociological upheavals to personal conflicts and somehow make them sing...the leading performances, shaped by Sher to preserve a sense of character modesty within the vocal extravagance, are exemplary."

Señorío de Vizcántar is our family's personal favorite – without question. And hundreds of the La Tienda community agree.
Señorío has a warm fruity flavor with just the right amount of spice. It is superb for crisp green salads, or dipping with a crust of bread. But please don't treat it like liquid gold – it is something to enjoy every day as part of a healthy Mediterranean diet.
Our search to find a worthy olive oil for the La Tienda community led us to Fermín Rodríguez. He is one of the master tasters in Priego de Cordoba who annually determine which of the local olive oils earn the Denomination of Origen (D.O.) for this historic town.
From those extra virgin oils awarded this distinction, he blends his personal favorites, and bottles it under the Señorío de Vizcántar label. For La Tienda he has a Special Selection blend of the most aromatic and fruity oils of the early harvest. The three olive oil varietals in our blend are Picudo, a fresh, fruity oil; Hojiblanca, a mild, floral oil; and Picual, a peppery, bold oil. Our friend Fermín painstakingly experiments with different blends until he arrives at the perfect balance of herbal, fruity and peppery flavors.
Think of Señorío as you would a full-bodied red wine. As wine is the product of the juice of crushed grapes, in a similar way extra virgin olive oil is the juice of freshly cold pressed olives. But be forewarned! Just as it is hard to go back to drinking table wine once you had tasted something better, so also your days of selecting mass produced olive oil at the supermarket may soon come to an end once you realize in Señorío a new world of flavor and excellence.
The olive groves of the Rodríguez family surround Priego de Córdoba, one of the most striking of the white towns of Andalucía. Formerly a Moorish fortress and then a site for silk traders in the Middle Ages, Priego de Cordoba is located on a hilltop deep in the rugged Sierras Sabaticas Mountains. It is flanked by acres of olive groves in every direction -- with Córdoba to the north, Granada an hour away to the East and the Mediterranean city of Málaga to the south.
Special Selection Señorío de Vizcántar extra virgin olive oil has won honors in many international competitions. But most important of all, consistently it has received the vote of approval from hundreds of the La Tienda family over the years.
