Champion Industries, a Huntington-based printing, office
supply and newspaper publishing company, on Jan. 29 announced a net loss from
continuing operations of $23.5 million for the fiscal year that ended Oct. 31.
That was down from the net loss from continuing operations
of $4.2 million for fiscal 2011.
For the fourth quarter, the loss was $1.4 million, an
improvement from the net loss of $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The company attributed the 2012 loss primarily to pre-tax
non-cash impairment related charges associated with goodwill of $9.5 million
and trade name and masthead in the amount of $1.6 million and an increase in
the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $15.6 million
primarily related to taxes associated with continuing operations.
The impairments are associated with the acquisition of The
Herald-Dispatch daily newspaper in 2007. The 2012 results were also unfavorably
impacted by various costs associated with legal fees and costs and professional
fees, resulting in part from provisions related to the various forbearance and
credit agreements with Champion's secured lenders, according to the quarterly
earnings report.
"If we examine our gross profit, which is a key starting
point for profitability, our gross profit dollars were $30.9 million in 2012
and $31.2 million in 2011, which is essentially flat. In other words, in spite
of the numerous hurdles, challenges and actions we have taken in 2012, in the
final analysis we were able to essentially hold our core business stable,"
Marshall T. Reynolds, Champion's chairman and CEO said in the earnings release.
"In 2013 we are continuing to review operations and will
adjust where necessary. In addition, we intend to work with our secured
creditors and advisors to address our debt maturities and liquidity to the best
of our ability."

The puck is finally down and the good times are rolling again in the NHL. With the ink still drying on the new collective bargaining agreement, here are 10 things to look for in this long-awaited 2012-13 season.
■ Unlike what emerged from the last lockout, we won't be watching a New NHL. It's the same game that was introduced for 2005-06, with the center ice red line deleted from the rule book and the overall emphasis on speed and hitting rather than playmaking and puck finesse. It's that accent on the speed game that all but guarantees a mother lode of hamstring and groin injuries in the early going. Training camps lasted less than a week — not nearly enough to shake out the kinks.

A video teasing the return of Bo Dallas to the main roster. WWE attempted to bring him up once, but they quickly changed their mind and sent him back down to developmental for further training. WWE will be using the "Bo-lieve" gimmick that he helped him gain a following down in WWE NXT.
April 10, 2014
In addition to making an appearance at an independent wrestling show produced by Kizarny, Jake Roberts also spent the time to help train some of the wrestlers at the event. The WWE legend even got physically involved in the training, so that's great news for those of us who were quite concerned when he was in the hospital for a week.
September 11, 2014
While she is not doing a practice match with Brie Bella before Summerslam 2014, Stephanie McMahon is actually putting in a lot of hours training with Triple H. The couple routinely work out together, so it makes sense for him to put in some ring time with his wife. The match is not expected to last very long, and a surprise ending is still being planned.
August 15, 2014
Rumors have persisted over the last several months that Kevin Steen was set to sign a developmental contract with WWE. It looks to be official now, as the former ROH champion has posed for a picture with Triple H while wearing a WWE NXT shirt. The belief is that he will be focusing more on his weight and physique than actually training for the in ring stuff.
August 12, 2014
When Ricardo Rodriguez asked for his release from WWE, he told his side of the story. He wanted to wrestle again. Reports are now surfacing that the other side of the story involves his weight. Management wanted him to get to a certain number, but Rodriguez had trouble getting to that point. Thus, officials refused to give him the chance that he had been training for.
August 10, 2014
While a lot of fans are still under the impression that Hulk Hogan is really training to make an in ring return for WWE, no discussions are taking place within the company, as many people are already aware that the former world heavyweight champion is in no shape to wrestle. Vince McMahon would gladly pull the trigger on something like this since it would generate a ton of publicity, but he knows it will not be taking place.
August 8, 2014
Earlier in the year, Shannon Moore started training again after taking some time to heal his body. The belief was that he wanted to do another good run on the independent wrestling circuit. However, it now appears that he has retired as an in ring performer. Moore opened up a wrestling school in Florida, and he recently mentioned that he was moving.
August 3, 2014
For years, Hulk Hogan has worked the audience. He knows how to sucker in the most gullible of fans. The WWE legend is at it again. At a promotional event in New Jersey on Saturday, Hogan told the audience that he was training for another match. He also stated that he wanted it to be against John Cena. Hogan is in no shape to work another match, so the belief is that he's just creating a buzz.
August 3, 2014
A day before the company is expected to eliminate a lot of jobs, WWE has come to terms on the release of Ricardo Rodriguez, who stated that the decision belonged to him. The former manager of Alberto Del Rio reiterated that he wanted to be an in ring performer again. Rodriguez had been training in developmental in hopes that management would finally give him a chance. When that opportunity appeared dismal, he opted to move on to the next chapter of his career.
July 30, 2014
With his in ring career fully behind him now, Tensai has been slowly gaining power backstage in WWE. He impressed management with his ability to function as a color commentator. Now, he has convinced them to let him have a bigger part in the company by training the developmental wrestlers. WWE likes the fact that Tensai has worked overseas and is familiar with a lot of different styles of wrestling.
July 26, 2014
"He just signed with us. I was there when he had his tryout at the WWE Performance Center and I met with him there. We've been working on this for a while. His training will start when he gets here. The thing is, you can be a big star anyplace else in the world. That gets you in the door. What you do once you get here is a whole different ballgame. He's no different than anybody else once he walks through the door of the Performance Center." - Triple H on how Kenta Kobayashi will be treated in WWE
July 17, 2014
While she still has every intention of being a stay at home mother and wife, Michelle McCool decided to get out of the house on Monday. She made a visit to the WWE Performance Center. No word yet on why she was there this time around, but she has been known to drop in and help do a little training with the developmental divas. Her appearances always spark rumors of a return to WWE, so don't be surprised if the chatter increases over the next few days.
June 24, 2014
"He is a pro. He comes to work everyday. He is straight forward and tells you exactly what it is. One of my things was I didn't get to work a match with him. I would have dropped the weight I did and keep the muscle I have. He is a great leader in terms of he talks it; he walks it. He is the face of the WWE and likely so. John Cena gave us all an opportunity to train and have the same training regiment. The training of the NBA and NFL with Olympic lifts for maintenance, for power, better cardiovascular. He was on the forefront. He gave guys an opportunity." - Brodus Clay defending John Cena
June 19, 2014
If things go as planned, WWE could have themselves three new stars on the main roster by 2015. Prince Devitt, Kevin Steen and Kenta Kobayashi are rumored to have been signed to developmental contracts with the company. All three need work visas to be completed, but they're expected to start training before the summer ends. Devitt, Steen and Kobayashi are viewed as three of the top international stars available.

During an interview with the Mirror in England, Stephanie McMahon was asked about a potential match against Brie Bella. The two have been feuding on screen as part of the program centered around WWE champion Daniel Bryan. Stephanie hinted that the match was a possibility and that she is always training. The feud would be heavily featured on Total Divas if it takes place.
May 20, 2014
The Samoan presence in WWE has just gotten a little bit stronger, as Savelina Fanene is now under a developmental contract with the company. She is related to the Rock and does have an athletic background. Savelina recently noted on Instagram that she had moved to Orlando, where she will be training for the next year at the WWE Performance Center.
May 10, 2014
Through Instagram, the Rock informed his fans that he has started shooting the new San Andreas film. The movie will be about the biggest earthquake to ever hit the city of Los Angeles. Filming is taking place in Australia, where the former WWE star has been participating in rescue training over the last several days. The movie is expected to draw huge numbers.
April 25, 2014
Fans have been curious about the status of Devon since he parted ways with TNA last year. The former world tag team champion has been spending a lot of time with his family. Devon has also been doing a lot of work at his wrestling school, where he has been actively training wrestlers now. The former WWE star also wrestles occasionally on the independent circuit.

"If you never want to have a family or a wife or time to yourself, and you like being verbally and mentally abused, then you should [get into wrestling]. I say go for it. [That abuse comes more from] the locker room. Definitely the locker room. TNA is very different than WWE. WWE was very political. I wasn't in there yet. They were like, 'You're a Von Erich. You better be amazing at wrestling,' and things like that. And I wasn't. I'm more of an actress than I am a wrestler. I'd rather play a character than get hurt on the mat. That's what I'm better at. I'm better at acting. That's what I wanted to do. Vince called me. He's the one that got me into this. He's the one asked me, 'Do you want to be a wrestler? Try to be a Diva?' He brought me out and and I signed the contract that night and went into training. I wasn't expecting it to come as much. It really blew up and they expected so much of me, but then TNA called and they really embraced me as like a family member." - Lacey Von Erich talking about backstage politics in WWE

We talk about the impact of managers on an organization, but these days it seems the biggest job is general manager. It has become all-encompassing, more hands-on than ever. It has become, as Dan Duquette points out, a "24-7" job in which every single detail has to be accounted for — from overseeing the manager, to instruction, to player acquisition, to organizational philosophy, to contracts and business-related issues.
So when you win an Executive of the Year Award, it means you've done a pretty incredible job putting together a baseball team.

SPOKANE--One suspect is in custody and police are searching for another, after a drive-by shooting at Swaxx's bar Sunday morning.
Police were called to the bar at 21 E Lincoln Road around 1:45 a.m. on reports of a shooting in the parking lot. Witnesses told police that two black males in a black Chevrolet Caprice had fired handguns while yelling their gang affiliations.
While police were responding to the call, a WSP trooper attempted to stop a speeding car matching the description for the suspect vehicle. The Caprice reached speeds of up to 95 MPH as the trooper tried to catch up to it.
The car came to a stop in a yard at Nevada and Queen. When the trooper got to the car he saw the driver fleeing the scene on foot. The trooper detained the passenger.
Witnesses were able to ID the vehicle and the passenger as having been involved in the shooting at Swaxx.
The driver of the vehicle wasn't located. He's described as a 20-30 year old black man with a slender building, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.
The passenger, 28-year-old Glenn Anderson, was booked on the charge of drive-by shooting.

While thanking the College for the tribute
it paid to her Aug. 7, Vickie Palmer paid a
tribute of her own to her parents. "They
were very loving parents," she said. "And I
thank them for giving me an appreciation
of the legacy that the Palmer family has."
Her mother, Agnes Mae (High) Palmer,
D.C., left a legacy in chiropractic as well
as in the art world. After graduating from
Palmer in 1938, Dr. Agnes Palmer operated
a practice in Westchester, Pa. She then
married Dr. Dave in 1943.
Throughout her life, Dr. Palmer was actively
involved in chiropractic through her
membership in the College's alumni
association, the President's Club and the
International Chiropractic Association.
She also served as Supreme Kiatrus of the
Alpha Grand Chapter of Sigma Phi Chi,
the oldest chiropractic sorority.
Internationally, Dr. Palmer was recognized
for her sculpting, for which she held shows
in New York in 1968, and Italy in 1969
and 1985. She eventually combined her
passion for sculpting with her love for
chiropractic and her family. The busts of
Dr. Dave and Dr. Mabel Palmer, which are
found on Heritage Wall on the Davenport
Campus, were both made by Dr. Palmer.

A central aim of President Obama's health care law is to expand the number of Americans who have health insurance, and the key to achieving this is through the creation of exchanges in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. It's through these exchanges that individuals will use subsidies (varying by income) to help purchase government-designed insurance policies sold by private companies.
The Congressional Budget Office projected that the exchanges will help 25 million Americans find insurance by 2022, accounting for the bulk of the expanded coverage under Obamacare.
When it was written, architects of Obamacare hoped they could prod states into creating exchanges, thus reducing the administrative burden on the federal government. Under the law, if a state doesn't create an exchange, the federal government must step in and create one on the state's behalf. Initially, this was believed to be the perfect bludgeon with which to convince reluctant governors who prefer state control to embrace the exchanges.
But as time went on, it became clear to governors who opposed the law that the creation of a state-based exchange doesn't give a state any actual control. The law creates only the thinnest veneer of flexibility, whereas in reality, all the major decisions -- from the broad structure of the exchanges to the details of what kind of health care plans will be offered in the exchanges and how they will be marketed -- are made in Washington. A careful reading of the law finds that all of the sections about state "flexibility" are filled with caveats that render them useless in practice because Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius will effectively be running the show.
This is why 25 states have declined to set up their own exchanges. Seven other states are planning partnership exchanges with the federal government. Thus, the Obama administration will have some part in setting up exchanges in at least 32 states. This will be a tall order, as the exchanges are supposed to be ready by October so participants can start enrolling in plans that will go into effect in 2014.
In that short amount of time, the administration will have to overcome the major data-processing challenge of figuring out how to measure -- in real time -- participants' income, which determines eligibility and subsidy levels, and cross-check it against several government databases. Also, the feds have to hope that enough people sign up for the exchanges, particularly enough healthy people, to offset the cost of paying for health care for the sick. Otherwise, premiums will skyrocket.
Additionally, the administration will have to figure out how to pay for the exchanges, which are supposed to cover their own administrative costs by 2015. Earlier this month, HHS proposed a 3.5 percent monthly "user fee" to be levied on the premiums collected by insurers that offer policies on the new government-run exchanges. This will inevitably be passed on to consumers.
Due to the decisions of more than two dozen states, the exchanges' success will depend on the ability of the Obama administration to overcome these and other administrative hurdles. In other words, instead of pawning off responsibility on the states, the Obama administration will have to shoulder the cornerstone of its byzantine health plan.

Baby boom an investor boon?
Far from the youngsters they once were, older folks are having an economic impact on the health care industry.
By John Blank
Although their generation's moniker sounds youthful, millions of that generation are now facing the challenges of age. Yes, the baby boomers are far from the babies they once were, and their needs are having an economic impact on the health care industry.
Specifically, the outpatient and home care industry is seeing revitalization as many seniors seek solutions and help with the challenges they face. Gaining 68 positions last week, this sector of 16 companies now ranks 39 at Zack's Industry Rank of of 260 industries. These businesses have recently seen 33 positive earnings estimate revisions compared to 13 negative revisions, averaging a positive earnings per share surprise of +35%.
And as people are living longer, the sheer volume of elderly people is constantly rising. With life expectancy topping 80 years and climbing, the amount of time individuals may be in need of these services is also a factor in the sector's growth.
The following service provider has been upgraded this week to a Zacks Rank #1 ("strong buy"). An upgrade in rank from a "buy" or "hold" to a "strong buy" demonstrates that a given stock may be gaining value following future positive earnings estimate revisions. By combining specific stock performance with perspective related to the industry as a whole, these movements may provide investors with additional insight into their portfolio. The stock also holds a long-term Zacks "outperform" rating.
And the company knows that taking care of others means taking care of business.
Addus Home Care (ADUS)
Addus was upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 ("strong buy") last week from #2 ("buy"). Its next expected earnings report is on November 7, 2013.
Addus Home Care is a comprehensive provider of a broad range of social and medical services in the home. The company's services include personal care and assistance with activities of daily living, skilled nursing and rehabilitative therapies, and adult day care. Its consumers are individuals with special needs who are at risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill and disabled. Adding to its outlook are existing relationships with federal, state and local governmental agencies, the Veterans Health Administration, commercial insurers and private individuals.
ADUS's most recent quarterly earnings surprise was +15%.

That perspective margins is a better measure of wealth than current monetary based systems
Perspective margins is that which makes one feel poor either by comparison, satiation of reward appreciation or lack of appreciation. Though it is hard to put a number to it, perspective margins is hinged on an emotional response so strong that it takes very little training to verbally report. And unlike money which is a zero sum based unit of wealth, often making it hard or sometimes impossible to acquire in satisying quantities, Pmargins is all about universal empowerment, the idea that one can affect inter and external socio infrastructure framework to regulate Pmargins.
Pmargins have existed a lot longer than money has, in fact money works under the premise of Pmargins. Time is up!!

Dec 16 2012: Pmargins made Our World go round
Everything in life that man can experience can be broken down into contrasts. The innate ability to make connections between past and present, to make future predictions all stem from something that a lot of us take for granted, consciousness. Consciousness allows us to reflect on intention and premeditate action, it allows one to state fact or opinion, experience essence or the absence of it.
Though countless artefacts have been uncovered giving us minute glimpses into the minds of our past ancestors, one can never know for sure really, what had happened had happened and as is always with experience, can never truly be be fathomed completely. On the bright side though, what we lack in documentation we can make up through imagination, as it truly matters, at the end of the day, everything is a personal experience.
I can imagine the earliest of us, just as I can imagine what a cat is thinking, or a dog, or beings of species that we consider "like us", memory, surely they had consciousness, five senses driven by the most basic need of anything, survival. We are social species, even before we knew of the concept. Through nature and nurture, the cycle of culture was passed on through social and some would argue biological means. But just as we do even today, the ability to be conscious of consciousness was not always with us. Any of us upon reflection notice that our memory of our past stops a long way from birth. Babies cry, smile, crawl, stand, walk and talk, and then a couple of years later begin to report consciousness.

TUESDAY, Aug. 31 (HealthDay News) -- The nation's leading group
of pediatricians has issued a strong policy statement directed
toward pediatricians, parents and the media on the danger of
messages American teens and children are getting about sex from
television, the Internet and other media outlets.
The statement,
Sexuality, Contraception, and the Media, was published online Aug. 30 and in the September print issue of the journal Pediatrics.
"The media represents arguably the leading sex educator in America today," said Dr. Victor Strasburger, the lead author of the paper. "We do such a poor job of educating kids about sex in sex education classes in school, and parents are notoriously shy about talking to kids about sex. The media picks up the slack."
Seventy percent of teen shows contain sexual content,
Strasburger added, "and less than 10 percent of that content
involves what anyone would classify as being responsible content.
There's no mention of contracting an STD [sexually transmitted
disease] or the need to wait to have sex until later."
The United States leads the western world in teen pregnancy
rates and American teens have an alarmingly high rate of STDs --
one in four children.
Meanwhile, U.S. children spend seven hours and more a day with
various types of often-sexually explicit media, including music,
movies, television shows, magazines and the Internet.
"The research shows us that the portrayal of sex in the media is really unrealistic. It's unhealthy. It doesn't consider the consequences of sexual behavior," said Alan Delamater, professor and director of child psychology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "This is what our kids are growing up thinking. This is what sex is about. To deny its impact is ignorant because there's so much knowledge of it at this point."
Many pediatricians would like to flip the equation and see media
outlets introduce more responsible programming.
"Media has an opportunity to continue doing the same old thing, which is to have an adverse effect on child development, or turn it around and shape attitudes and behavior that could have a positive effect on child development," Delamater said.
The statement contains a number of recommendations for parents,
physicians and the media.
"We want physicians to ask two media questions at every well-child visit: how much entertainment screen time per day does the child engage in, and is there a TV set or Internet connection in his or her bedroom," said Strasburger, professor of pediatrics at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. "That takes 20 seconds and may be more important than asking about childproofing or car seats or bicycle helmets."
The authors of the statement ideally would like ads for erectile
dysfunction drugs to not be shown on TV until after 10 p.m.
"Half a billion dollars of ads for erectile dysfunction drugs and virtually no ads for birth control pills or condoms or emergency contraception," Strasburger said. "There's not a single shred of evidence that exposing kids to birth control ads or even making birth control available to them makes them sexually active at a younger age. We're doing things completely backwards."
There should also be more attention paid to how kids use social
networking sites on the Internet. And parents can use media story
lines as teaching tools to discuss sex with their children, instead
of having "the big talk," the statement said.
On the more idealistic side, the statement also recommends that
advertisers no longer use sex to sell a wide range of products.
"We want parents to realize that kids are spending more time with media than in any other activity but sleeping, and that the media represents a powerful source of information and in this case a powerful sex educator," Strasburger said.

IASB Projects: a pocketbook guide
The IASB continues to move forward with its standard-setting activities and the ability to stay one step ahead in a sea of change is critical. IASB Projects: a pocketbook guide summarises the key features of the various IASB projects, many of which are joint projects with the US FASB as part of ongoing efforts to converge IFRS and US GAAP.
In particular, the pocketbook guide summarises the proposed standards based on the tentative decisions taken to date and sets out some of the potential financial and business implications of the proposed standards, together with EY's views on the projects.

Joint Project Watch
The standard-setting activities of the IASB and the FASB on their joint projects continue to move forward. The Boards have issued final standards or exposure drafts on several projects and continue to re-deliberate others. Our Joint Project Watch publication is designed to give you a snapshot of key developments from an IFRS perspective, along with our observations about the potential implications for companies.
- Revenue recognition
The IASB and the FASB have issued new requirements for recognising revenue under both IFRS and US GAAP. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers provides a single revenue recognition model based on the transfer of control of a good or service to a customer.
The new revenue standard marks a significant change from current requirements under IFRS. It provides a more structured approach to measuring and recognising revenue, with detailed application guidance. Therefore, adoption may be a significant undertaking for many entities. Early assessment will be key to managing a successful implementation.
The standard is effective in 2017, with early adoption only permitted under IFRS.

- Leases
Under a joint project, the IASB's and FASB's proposal for lease accounting would eliminate the distinction between operating and finance/capital leases for lessees and would result in nearly all leases being reflected on the balance sheet. The proposed model would also require lessees and lessors to make a number of estimates and periodically reassess those estimates in accounting for leases. The Boards will re-expose the proposal in 2012.

- Financial instruments
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on 24 July 2014. IFRS 9 brings together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and is expected to be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
Accounting for dynamic risk management, commonly referred to as macro hedging, does not form part of IFRS 9 and is a separate project.
IFRS 9 introduces principles-based requirements for classification and measurement. Also, the IASB has addressed the key concern that arose as a result of the financial crisis that the incurred loss model in IAS 39 contributed to the delayed recognition of credit losses, by issuing the new impairment requirements that are based on a more forward-looking expected credit loss model. The hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 were developed with a view to providing better information about the management activities that involve hedging.

The IASB issued IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in May 2011, establishing a new definition of control that may significantly change which entities are considered to be controlled, and therefore consolidated. The IASB also issued IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities in May 2011. The IASB and FASB are working jointly to consider issues relating to consolidation accounting for qualifying investment entities.

The PedalPub, a mobile bar trolling the streets of Chicago, used to offer a pub crawl through downtown, but as of Tuesday, had to shut down because it was unable to get a business license from the city.
Chicago manager Matt Graham says PedalPub has been doing up to 40 tours a month. The table on wheels was popular for birthday parties and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
"The PedalPub is a bike that you can rent with your friends in advance with 6-16 people and then you can do a pub crawl," Graham explains.
It is operating in over 25 cities.
"We can drink in the bars..any bars, pretty much anywhere you want," Graham says. "But we don't drink on the bike."
Since 2011, Graham says Minneapolis-based PedalPub has tried to no avail to get a business license to operate in the city of Chicago
In a letter, the Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection said one of the reasons why a charter/sightseeing license was denied was that PedalPub was not a motor vehicle.
"The only way they want us in the city is if we motorize it, which defeats the whole purpose of getting out and having a fun, healthy good time," he adds.
The city tells FOX 32 that PedalPub did not meet a long checklist of federal motor vehicle safety standards that includes seat belts, windshields, and stop lights.
"2011 was the first license we applied for…the limited business license which we still think is the best fit for us and they denied that," Graham tells FOX 32.
So for two years, PedalPub operated without a license. As the applications were pending and after paying one fine of $2,000, the company officially shut down on Tuesday.
Two PedalPubs remain out of commission in the garage of the Trinity Bar on North Halsted where the PedalPub crawls began.
"It's really good for business as far as bringing in a lot of people at once, making the bar busy on a Saturday afternoon," Trinity bartender Kevin Stevenson says of the mobile bar.
Graham says he'll have to take the business elsewhere and is looking into moving to the Chicago suburbs.

Previously for iPad only, this smart mail-manager automatically separates the wheat from the chaff.
It might just be. This clever app automatically filters out the newsletters, daily deals, and other unimportant stuff, but keeps it grouped and available.
To get (and give) some sense of perspective, reader Matt Pressnall creates a map that traces the route taken by the "Mythbusters" runaway cannonball.
In an experiment gone awry, a cannonball aimed at water containers on a bomb disposal range misses its target and rips through a suburban house, before coming to rest in a minivan.
A test involving live cannon fire for the popular TV show "Mythbusters" went awry when a cannonball blasted through a nearby neighborhood. KPIX-TV in San Francisco aired this report.
Cannonball World Events will host the Cannonball Run Rat Race events beginning in New York City on Sept. 3, 2011, and Brisbane, Australia, on Feb. 19, 2012.
Team Rock has entered the legendary Cannonball 8000 rally and they're taking their special-edition GPS laptop with them
The Toshiba Camileo BW10 is a basic, waterproof minicamcorder that's good enough to capture a cannonball into a pool, but not treasured memories.
The now-famous cannonball incident is just the latest in a long string of experiments gone wrong on the hit Discovery Channel show. Of course, no one ever gets injured--except the show's hosts.

Housing sites in our region are private housing – meaning staying in someone's home. In most sites, you have a private bedroom, access to the kitchen and most do offer a private bathroom.
You pay the housing host $280.00 for your four week rotation. You are responsible for your own meals and picking up after yourself. Some housing sites have "house rules" such as no loud music/TV past a certain hour, no food in the bedroom, etc.

Watch the video of her latest Maxim photo shoot!

Check out her Today's Girl Gallery.
Watch the Fired Up! Extended Trailer.
Take a look at the girls of One Tree Hill.
Danneel Harris may have grown up going to church in small-town Louisiana, but she's far more Bourbon Street than Southern belle. She's the type of girl who moves to L.A. with no intention of acting and then picks up the skill because she thought the fast-and-furious lifestyle would suit her. She first made her mark as a hell-raiser on the hit TV show One Tree Hill, and after heating up Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, she's once again making the big screen sizzle. This month Danneel plays a cheerleader trying to get her hands on a teammate's pompoms in Fired Up, followed by a role as a girlfriend gone wild in this summer's Mardi Gras. Get ready for Hurricane Danneel!
How did you get along with Hayley Marie Norman, the actress who plays the object of your affection in Fired Up?
The first time we met, it was like, "Oh, hi. Guess we're going to be, like, the lesbian couple." Neither of us had played that kind of role before. I know how to handle a guy costar; you just say, "Hi, how are you? Are you going to brush your teeth before the kissing scene?" But with a girl it's like, "Uh, I like your shirt." Awkward. But now we're really good friends.
Well, there's nothing like simulated lesbianism to really cement a friendship.
It's true. It bonds you quicker than anything.

President Barack Obama is heading to Mexico with a domestic ambition at the top of his travel agenda. To win an immigration overhaul back home, he needs a growing economy in Mexico and a Mexican president willing to help him secure the border.
Obama flies to Mexico City on Thursday to meet with President Enrique Pena Nieto. There, he will promote Mexico's economic success and its place as the second largest export market for U.S. goods and services.
It's a pitch aimed at selling an immigration bill to Congress.
Obama aides say Mexico's cooperation is crucial to prevent illegal border crossings. And, they add, a growing Mexican economy is a disincentive to illegal immigration.

edited by Eric Hollander, M.D., and Evdokia Anagnostou, M.D. Arlington, Va, American Psychiatric Publishing, 2007, 336 pp., $54.00.
This book has great strengths in covering the field of psychopharmacological treatment of autism spectrum disorders. The chapters reviewing medications, including the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), atypical antipsychotics, stimulants, anticonvulsants, mood stabilizers, and even cholinesterase inhibitors, are very thorough with a balanced discussion of the latest research. This information is extremely useful for the clinician and the researcher, and the authors have made an effort to discuss the most recent literature in press in 2007, so that it is remarkably current, particularly for a book. There are helpful tables to facilitate dosing in most of the chapters, so information is easily accessible. There are excellent discussions on mechanisms of action; particularly notable is Chapter 4, which covers anticonvulsants.
The chapters on behavioral and educational interventions individually cover applied behavioral analysis, Greenspan's floortime approach, Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication-Handicapped Children (TEACCH) methodology, and therapy focused on peer interactions, all by authors who have built these fields with numerous publications. They are well written, with an excellent synthesis of the literature in each of these areas. What is missing is a synthesis that brings in other contributions, such as the Denver model, developed by Sally Rogers and colleagues, or broader directions of educational endeavors, such as the use of assistive technology.
The weakest part of this book is the medical workup of autism, which is covered in Chapter 1. There are basically no details regarding the physical examination or laboratory studies, and both are mentioned to be done only "when indicated." Actually, such studies are always indicated in autism, but there is little guidance regarding the newest studies that are indicated in the thorough workup of autism, and the reader must look elsewhere to find this information. There is little to no coverage regarding the latest genetic studies in autism (e.g., the yield of comparative genomic hybridization arrays in the genetic workup or subtyping of autism). Advances such as methyl CpG binding protein (MECP2) mutations, chromosome 15q duplications, or the association of the fragile X premutation and autism are not covered. These deficiencies carry over into the chapter on future directions, because targeted treatments that are being developed for certain subgroups of autism, such as the use of mGluR5 antagonists in fragile X syndrome, may have significant benefits in autism in general, but they are not mentioned. A greater emphasis should be placed on identifying these genetic subgroups of autism and the neurobiological advances that have led to targeted treatments.
The chapter on complementary and alternative medicine treatment is well written and covers a broad range of controversial therapies, with helpful information for the clinician to share with families and where to search on the web for the latest valid information.
Overall, I highly recommend this book for both clinicians and researchers, particularly for the treatment chapters regarding psychopharmacological, complementary and alternative medicine, and behavioral interventions. In a field fraught with controversy, this book adds clarity in a compact and well-written format. This should be read by all who take care of children with autism.

Tony's LA: Viva Tirado, Tropical Preserves, and The Serial Killer.
Host Tony Valdez meets the people and takes us to the places that make Los Angeles so unique. In this edition of his Fox 11 Special, "Tony's L.A." - he tells us about the bullfighter's song that became a hit - twice - for local musicians, plus the first family of jelly making, and a Serial Killer who terrorized LA decades ago.
Part 1: Viva Tirado: The story of an unlikely song that became a hit for both the local LA jazz master who wrote it (in honor of a Tijuana bullfighter), and a local group of Latino musicians who put their own spin on the record known as "Viva Tirado."
Part 2: Tropical Preserves: You've seen their jams and jellies on grocery store shelves. You've probably even tasted them. But did you know that The Tropical Preserving Company is one of LA's oldest and most successful family-owned businesses?
Part 3: Serial Killer: His name is Mack Ray Edwards. You've probably never heard of him, but you've had a closer brush than you think with one of LA's most dangerous - but least known - serial killers.

MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Pitstop
Races can be won and lost in the pitlane, which is why the mechanics practice thousands of pitstops during the course of a racing year. I'm checking out the Mercedes AMG Petronas boys as they hone their skills on race morning. A good stop is under 3s – incredible.
