Like all little people, Arrietty (AIR-ee-ett-ee) remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to "borrow" scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12-year-old Shawn (David Henrie), a human boy who comes to

The fresh and simple story will win its share of young fans, though it lacks the disturbing adult elements might have attracted older audiences.
[The film] pulses with feeling for childhood and nature and develops a surprising amount of suspense considering it takes place around a single suburban home.
The Secret World of Arrietty is a marvelously captivating animated feature about very tiny people and the full-scale world they inhabit.
Yonebayashi gives Arrietty an excellent sense of balance, with the adventure aspects of the story, which feel legitimately dangerous providing well-paced contrast the film's more placid moments.
It's an enjoyable and attractive-looking film, but a little of that "Speed Racer" energy wouldn't have been such a bad thing.
The visual details are inventive, and the animation - particularly the colors - is lovely.
There are undeniable signs of this being a first-feature from an "unproven" director, but there's also a confidence in Yonebayashi that elevates the material a great deal.
Director Hiromasa Yonebayashi explores a hidden ecosystem within our own ecosystem, defining the very fragility of nature at our doorstep.
The Secret World of Arrietty is a return to the land of imagination that is so often the basis for these beautiful films, which continually show that animation can be so much more than just a cartoon.
With The Secret World of Arrietty, Yonebayashi proves himself to be not just a worthy successor to Miyazaki, but an accomplished visionary in his own right.
It's not quite on the level of some of the studio's other works, but [it's] still fascinating to watch for its beautiful animation, interesting characters, and the heartwarming relationship between Shawn and Arrietty.
Studio Ghibli's best film since Miyazaki's eco-fable masterpiece Spirited Away. Its story is impeccably paced, its look beautifully imagined, and its drama perfectly built-up. Bristles, underfoot, with some delightful feminism and environmentalism.
There's a gentle movie from Japan that's going to seem familiar to a lot of fans of the series of books about 'The Borrowers.'
Like motion picture Yoga--quietly cathartic and just the thing to raise your kids on.
As pretty as it is, this Secret World is too Earthbound by far.
It certainly belongs in the second rank of Ghibli fantasies. But give it a chance.
Most will be caught up in its beautiful spell, immersed in great storytelling at its finest.
The soft-focus animation has an impressionistic quality, as if a gentle breeze had wafted across a Monet canvas.
This smart, winsome fairy tale is not quite Hiyao Miyazaki, but it still might be the best animated film that (some few) will see all year.
Another Studio Ghibli wonder, as heartbreaking for its devotion to craft, artistry and intelligent storytelling (for viewers of all ages) as for its themes of inevitable exile and impossible love.
...creates a sense of wide-eyed wonder and discovery as we experience the awe-inspiring mysteries of an ordinary house as seen from the four-inch borrower's point of view.
The animation, a gorgeous blend of bewitching watercolored backgrounds and poignantly rendered characters, is, as ever, beyond reproach.
What is most effective is the way the sense of peaceful shelter and retreat in the country setting contrasts with the precariousness of the situations faced by Shawn and Arrietty.
Audience Reviews for The Secret World of Arrietty

The story is about a young boy with medical problems named Shawn (David Henrie) being sent to his moms childhood house where she was told stories of small people who lived under the floor. He sees a strange creature when he is outside when he first arrives and thinks it looks like a little person. This creature ends up actually being a little person, a 14 year old girl named Arriety (Bridgit Mendler) who lives with her two parents (Will Arnett and Amy Poehler) who are borrowers who are small people who "Borrow things such as soap, cookies, and other small things that humans don't need when they disappear. Shawn ends up seeing Arriety on her first night of "Borrowing" and his curiosity was picked very far when she drops sugar in his room and he drops it off in the hole near her house. Arriety questioning this is told not to take the sugar because her father thinks its a trap but she sneaks out and ends up becoming friends with Shawn.
Like many of Ghiblis movies as I said before, usually get heavily Disney associated actors such as David Henrie from Wizards of Waverly Place and Moises Arias who was on Hannah Montana. But this movie also like Ghiblis other movies get moderately big actors or much older actors, such as in this film they got Carol Burnett, and Amy Poelher and Will Arnett. All of them do regular great jobs and one actor I think does the best job overall is surprisingly David Henrie as Shawn. He has such an innocent and monotone voice that it is impossible not to feel sorry for him when you find out about what is wrong with him and you feel horrible for all the things that are happening to him. He's both a sympathetic character and a very emotional character, and Henrie pulls this off flawlessly well. Bridget Mendler does a good job as Arriety, being sweet and pulls off the teenage girl getting to figure out the big world very well. Arnett and Poelher both do good as Arriety's parents and it shows due to these two being married in real life and you believe they do care for Arriety and are both believable as these two characters. Carol Burnett is shockingly not that memorable in this movie, she plays the character of Hara, a woman who takes care of Shawn but is obsessed with catching the little people. Maybe its because the character is really not developed that well, but Burnett doesn't really have much to work with with this character in the film, unlike the other elderly actresses that Miyazaki has chosen before such as Suzanne Pleshette in Spirited Away or Lauren Bacall in Howl's Moving Castle.
The animation, again like all of Miyazaki's other animated pictures is incredible, and for a movie with perspectives of smaller people to much larger people and animals leads to some very good eye candy to see in a Miyazaki movie. But other than that there isn't much really to talk about in terms of the animation.
One thing I will say about this movie is that is quite possibly one of the emotional films that I've seen in a while, and one of those reasons is because of the music, the music in this movie are brilliantly done and the film has little to none of it, but they know when to use it to the films advantage, and it works incredibly well when it is used. Using piano music about 80% of the time also helps.
Overall this is so far the best film that I've seen this year and it is definitely a wonderful film to go see, and it is one of the few movies to make me cry at the end, and it is quite possibly Studio Ghiblis most well told story out of all their films. My only problem I have with this movie is that the film does have a somewhat slow pace for a animated movie especially for a 90 minute animated film, but everything is all done extremely well and it is definitely one of Ghiblis best.

It focuses on the plight of Arrietty, a young woman who is one in a long line of little people known as "borrowers", as she timidly navigates her way through this big, and mean big, scary world. Along the way she befriends a sickly human boy named Sho, who borrowers are supposed to be very leery of. and together they form an unlikely kinship that gives them each the fortitude to fight for their very survival. Having the film centered around a very little girl isn't only just a fun way to tell a story, it also cleverly elaborates on the fears of being young and making your own stamp on this world. There are just so many potential dangers out there that finding your place in it can be quite a daunting task.
Unfortunately for adults like Haru, a maid hellbent on discovering these little people. many adults no longer desire to embrace the magical nature of the world around them. She only wants to exploit it to defend her own sanity in the eyes of her peers.
However, other then a clever way to tell a coming of age story, this film really lacked a spark. It lacked vitality. The story at times felt like it was moving at a snail's pace and I wished that director Hiromasa Yonebayashi would have spent a little more time on fleshing out either Arrietty or Sho. Focusing on both of them seemed to shortchange any chance of really getting me involved in these character's lives.
Another problem that I had with the film, aside from the fact that they call themselves "borrowers" even though it is clear they have no intention of returning the products they STEAL, was the music. I have a feeling that during its conversion to the English language, subtlety got lost in translation. The music is often so on the nose tonally and lyrically that it was almost comical. When someone is sad, the music quickly sweeps in with some bad Lifetime Network score. I'm not necessarily blaming the filmmakers on this one, but someone along the line really blew it.
It is starting to get redundant in my reviews, but seriously the animation is astounding. It is especially impressive here as this film features a great deal of action. The action is accompanied by an excellent sound design. As the film frequently changes perspectives from the little people to the full sized human brings, so does the sound and it is a really smart and exciting touch.
So while not the most groundbreaking film, like all Ghibli, it is smart, visually breath-taking, and completely worth your time.

Five Points limits denied
Date: May 7, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The city's Parks, Recreation and Environmental Protection Advisory Board has denied a request to toughen rules that police say could help fight crime in Five Points Park.
The Five Points Neighborhood Association had asked the board to consider earlier closing hours, a smoking ban and tighter limits on permitting.
Currently, the park closes at 2:30 a.m. Smoking is allowed throughout the park, and those holding events only need a city permit if 75 people or more are in attendance.
The board denied the request to change the closing hour to 11 p.m. and the permit limit to 25 people. It did recommend creating designated smoking areas on the sidewalk.
The president of the Five Points Neighborhood Association, Andy Frank, presented her case, saying that the park is basically the front yard for the residents in Five Points condos.
Lt. Jeff Karr, of the Sarasota Police Department, was there to support Frank.
"I asked (the board), 'If you had someone drunk, exposing himself and urinating in your front yard, how would you feel about it,'" Karr said.
Said Frank: "I found it unusual that a city board listened to a police officer and then ignored his recommendation."
Both Frank and Karr said they felt the board members had their minds made up to deny the requests before they heard the testimony.
Board member Brie Ondercin said members may have formed an opinion as they read their information packets prior to the meeting, but there was no discussion among the members beforehand.
In addition, Ondercin said two years ago the board took up the issue to close the park earlier and rejected it, so the request to was unlikely to be approved now.
"We don't want to change park hours, because it's a park in an urban environment, with nightlife," she said.
"It's unfortunate the park has a lot of illegal activity, but that would happen at any urban park."
Ondercin said it was city attorney Sarah Warran who recommended the board not change the permit limit to 25 people.
Warren said a U.S. Supreme Court case from Chicago stated that a 50-person limit allowed people to exercise their constitutional rights, such as free speech and the right to assemble. Warren thought going below that 50-person limit could be subject to a legal challenge.
Ondercin presented the results of the parks board meeting to the City Commission May 4. Commissioner Fredd Atkins asked whether confining smokers to the sidewalk was wise, because the non-smokers passing by would have to walk through the cigarette smoke.
Todd Kucharski, public works general manager, said the board would look at the smoking issue again.
Frank is hoping the parks board and the City Commission will also reconsider the other two issues.
"I would like for this to come up again," she said.

"I like that I stick out. I was watching 'Valentine's Day' on the plane recently. I have a tiny part in that movie. I was watching all the women — Jessica Biel, and Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts. They are gorgeous women, and I don't want to take anything away from them, but they all do have a very classical look, with a very thin nose. I'm watching this parade of these faces and then, boom, it was my face, and I was taken aback. I was like, 'Oh, my nose is so big!' I have never in my life thought I had a big nose, but, well, there it was. The first time I was on TV, on 'Flight of the Conchords,' someone put up a YouTube clip and said, 'You're too ugly to be on TV.' And I was like, 'That is exactly why it's a good thing that I'm on TV.'"
We have a winner!

Hawaii (Business) 5-O
Assistant Creative Director Wes Funai and Associate Art Director Mae Ariola deserve a big hand for applying their considerable talents to updating the visual style and feel of our magazine.
Turning 50 is a pretty mind-blowing milestone. This magazine is older than almost everyone who works on it exclusively, except publisher Hoyt Zia. However, as we all have come to understand, the big 5-O doesn't have to stand for middle age. It really symbolizes the strength of five decades of experience, while setting a firm foundation from which to build on. For us, the big 5-O signals both opportunity and change.
There is a palpable sense of excitement in the air here, and it's not just because the Hawaii economy is doing so well, as our partners at the University of Hawaii's Economic Research Organization (UHERO) point out in their 2005 Hawaii Outlook. Some of the buzz is from a renewed call to social responsibility, as evidenced by Steve Case's address to local leaders at Hawaii Business' Top 250 luncheon last November. Case is calling for a paradigm shift (that often used and little understood phrase). However, as Jacy Youn shows in our cover story, not only has he put his money where his paradigm-shift-speaking mouth is, Case is also putting his team together, in anticipation of spending more time and money in Hawaii in the future.
It makes a lot of sense to think about addressing pressing social needs in the context of business planning and decision-making. Fixing some of these social problems will go a long way towards bettering business here, also. Just imagine how much your business (and quality of life) would improve if we narrowed the affordable housing gap, fixed our traffic problems and improved education in measurable ways.
One way to approach this is to get, not just Steve Case, but both individual and large institutional investors on board in figuring out how to seed new businesses and/or support existing Hawaii businesses that can make a difference in these areas. In fact, Case asked the Top 250 leaders to consider launching a "Future of Hawaii Fund," which would focus on investments that produced both economic and social returns.
A Hawaii-focused, Hawaii-investor-backed fund is just one suggestion for a brighter tomorrow. We look forward to exploring more of these possibilities with you during Hawaii Business' golden anniversary year.

European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, responsible for industry and entrepreneurship said: "I called this meeting to reinforce the dialogue between the key players in industry, the ESA and European Commission. The success of Galileo and Copernicus programmes depends on the commitment and support of the space industry and the ESA. Galileo will start its first operations in 2014. Copernicus is also entering the operational phase. Space and satellite navigation, created in Europe, are inputs for our strategy to reindustrialise the EU. Most importantly, they will open up new business opportunities that Europe needs"
Galileo, the EU satellite navigation programme (the European "GPS") and Copernicus, the EU Earth monitoring programme, are in decisive phases this year.

Photographers and Getty Images contributors Morten Nilsson and Thomas Damgaard contacted me over a year ago to discuss a novel idea. How would we like regional, model-released imagery from a part of the world where we have never had content from before? And how would we like it if this content was shot locally – by the people who live there – with the potential to nurture their talent and make an impact in these budding photographers' lives?
Regionalized imagery has been a key focus for Getty Images for the past few years –and this idea was perfectly in line. But what, exactly, was the proposal?
Morten and Thomas were talking about a project they'd been working on with a photography school in Bamako, Mali – Cadre de Promotion pour la Formation en Photographie (CFP). The collaboration with CFP was initiated to find ways for the school to become self-sustainable and was funded and supported by Danish Center for Culture and Development (DCCD) and the Danish Embassy in Mali and Helvetas.
The predicament was that there was very little possibility to make a decent living from photography in Mali – regardless of talent. With hundreds of small wedding and ID studios in Bamako alone, the competition was high, and consequently photographers were making very little. As it stood there was simply no market for photography outside Bamako. But how could this be changed? Could the virtual marketplace provide an alternative? And more specifically, could stock photography be this alternative?
From these discussions, Commerce & Culture was born – with the mission of connecting creative people from the least developed countries to a global market through Getty Images. Funded by DCCD and the Danish Embassy in Mali and Helvetas, the goal was for Commerce & Culture's royalties to be shared between the students and the school in order to make the project self-sustainable.
There were several challenges ahead. Photography in Mali was primarily analogue which meant the process of producing imagery was costly, slow and unsuited to the digital world of stock photography. Commerce & Culture's first task was to address these challenges – bringing new and updated equipment to the school and digitizing the workflow. Also, the first team of photographers enrolled in the program had no experience in producing conceptual imagery – no experience in creating images to illustrate an idea (e.g. friendship, togetherness, connection) as opposed to documenting an event (weddings, baptisms etc.). It was clear that training needed to take place – so educational program was developed and even a 'stock photography manual' printed!
After over a year of hard work – organizing, educating and huge amounts of trial and error – Commerce & Culture was on its way and actively submitting imagery to Getty Images through Flickr. With 170 images online and counting, Commerce & Culture is exploring a new way to connect photographers from far corners of the globe to the international marketplace of stock photography and in the process providing content that Getty Images has never offered before.
This feels like the future!
See all of their hard work here.
Editor's note: This post was written by Getty Images Art Director Guy Merrill.

CHARLESTOWN ŌĆō The latest news-centric blog, Progressive Charlestown, to cover the town came to be when its owners were looking to stimulate political discussion amongst residents.
But Will Collette and Tom Ferrio sat on the idea until earlier this year as they wanted to make it an independent blog not tied to the Charlestown Democratic Town Committee. The decision to remove that link to the political committee came this past January, prior to the official launch of the website.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Did you know that the sixth leading cause of death in America is AlzheimerŌĆÖs Disease? And, itŌĆÖs the only disease in the top 10 that canŌĆÖt be predicted, cured or even slowed.
According to the AlzheimerŌĆÖs Association of America, 5.4 million AmericanŌĆÖs are living with this disease and, since 2000, deaths from other major diseases have dropped, while deaths from AlzheimerŌĆÖs have risen 66 percent. More shocking is that every 69 seconds, someone in the United States develops AlzheimerŌĆÖs.
WEST WARWICK ŌĆö The West Warwick boys volleyball team had three returning varsity players and two green freshmen setters on the court in ThursdayŌĆÖs Injury Fund contest against Division II-North squad Tolman.
The Tigers, meanwhile, started a seasoned senior setter and an array of talented hitters.
NARRAGANSETTŌĆōAs Robert Leaver set up the bulletin boards across the assembly room, Narragansett business owners quickly learned that this was not a typical public forum. Leaver, spearhead of the New Commons consultancy firm, conducts public forums as innovative brainstorming sessions. Wednesday evening was an opportunity for local business owners to develop ideas about making Narragansett a more economically profitable town.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆōEarly Saturday morning, members of the North Kingstown Facilities Man-agement and Planning Subcommittee along with members of the public, Town Council and School Committee, toured the former Wickford Elementary School building, 99 Phillips St., to get a better un-derstanding of the proposed renovations as detailed in the recent Rowse Report.
CHARLESTOWN ŌĆō Police are seeking a suspect who is alleged to have committed armed robbery at the Sunoco Station on South County Trail last Thursday night.
As we continue our WomenŌĆÖs History Month celebration of extraordinary women who left indelible marks on our local history, we focus today on a trio of women who defined public service.
I was fortunate enough to know the first, Cora Lamoureux, longtime town clerk of West Greenwich, and wish I had known the others. Ruth Arnold and Susan Carpenter, the first two librarians of the Willett Free Library, in Saunderstown, logged a combined 90 years at the circulation desk. Astonishing.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō At its work shop session Tuesday night, the school committee focused on how students are assessed, how their needs are met and how it relates to NECAP scores.
ŌĆ£We must be committed to doing whatever it takes to help each student succeed-every child, every day,ŌĆØ Assistant Superintendent Mary Kelley said.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō The Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin and local legislators Senator Susan Sosnowski and Representative Teresa Tanzi have introduced legislation that would prevent future murderers like Michael Woodmansee from ever being eligible for time off for good behavior.
WARWICK - Continuing his commitment to accessibility, Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI) hosted a "town mall" meeting at the Warwick Mall, where he discussed his work in Congress to address key issues facing Rhode Islanders and the nation and offered an opportunity for individuals and families to express their specific concerns.

About Us
Sextant Therapeutics, Inc. has developed a proprietary technology for pre-clinical research that vastly improves our understanding of how chemotherapy fights cancer and will allow us to develop more effective combinations of existing chemotherapeutic agents to fight the most deadly cancers. This platform technology enables the development of clinical diagnostics that will evaluate which chemotherapies will be most effective in treating a given cancer. And, with our technology, we will be able to develop an entirely new class of chemotherapy drugs that will directly recruit a patient's immune responses to eliminate cancer. Sextant's products will not only streamline the cancer diagnosis and treatment process but also reduce expensive hospital and laboratory costs. Sextant's technology will help save lives by defining the best direction for cancer therapy.
A Pre-clinical Revolution
For the first time, we can accurately mimic drug treatment in the clinic – acute therapeutic intervention to treat actively growing tumors – in pre-clinical models, creating a far more accurate model of how human disease is treated. Our proprietary proteomic Profiling technology combined with our patented genetic Modeling technology provide unprecedented detail and precision. Our iterative Profiling and Modeling approach gives us the power to pick apart biological systems to discover HOW drugs work, and how genes influences drug efficacy.
Our Technology
We have developed an integrated platform drug discovery technology that offers faster, more robust research solutions to analyze tumor signaling and responses to chemotherapy. Our revolutionary research technology enables us to:
- Significantly reduce the time required to determine how a tumor responds to drug treatment and if a candidate drug hits its target
- Extract critical information from pre-clinical models to more accurately assess whether a drug should move to clinical trials
- Dramatically increase the quality and quantity of crucial information defining a tumor's response to chemotherapy
- Rapidly identify high value targets for development of companion diagnostics

Best Buy is launching a new price-matching guarantee. Beginning March 3rd, Best Buy will match prices at all local retailers and nearly 20 major online competitors.
The chain wants to end so-called "showrooming." That's when a customer goes into the store to check out the products, then buy it online for a cheaper price. Best Buy has struggled recently, as discount and online retailers like Amazon lure away customers.

McDonald's Earnings & The Burger Industry
Waqar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On January 23, the fast food giant, McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) released its earnings for 4Q 2012. Although analysts were expecting an EPS of $1.33, the company beat the estimates as it reported quarterly earnings of $1.4 billion ($1.38 per share). A detailed analysis on how the company performed in its latest quarter is given below;
United States
In the U.S, comparable sales increased 0.3% for the quarter and 3.3% for the year. Operating profit went up 2% for the year, while it remained the same for the quarter.
In the U.S, the company performed slightly better than it did in 3Q 2012, thanks to the introduction of new cheddar, bacon, onion sandwich in October and McRib sandwich in December. Moreover, with the addition of new grilled onion cheddar burger on the one dollar menu, things looked much better. McDonald's would soon be launching Fish McBites, new beef sandwiches, chicken entrees, and breakfast and beverage offers that have already received a great response in the test markets across the U.S. In 4Q 2012, the company spent a lot on its marketing and will continue to do so in 2013. Having said this, McDonald's has further plans of expanding its peak hour performance in order to attract more customers in the U.S.
In Europe, comparable sales went down to 0.60% for the quarter and were up 2.4% for the year. Operating profits were up 7% for the quarter and 6% for the year. Moreover, the company grew its market share by 0.10% to 9.2%.
As more and more customers were affected by the recent debt crisis, the restaurant industry didn't do that well. However, according to the company, it grew its market share in Europe to 0.1% to 9.2%. Introduction of new products and selling more premium deals to the customers were major catalysts in Europe. In France for instance, the new Casse Croute Sandwich and drink deal did really well and in Germany, the McDeal value bundle with two new choices did wonders. Same is the case with U.K, where McDonald's premium foods like Bacon, Chicken, and Onion did great.
In Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, comparable sales went down 1.7% for the quarter and were up 1.4% for the year. Operating profits went down 1% for the quarter whereas; it increased 3% for the year.
The core reason behind company's weak performance in APMEA region was Japan's slow recovery and China's sluggish growth. In the case of China, McDonald's sales decreased 0.9% for the quarter, but grew by 3.2% for the year. The recent chicken supply issue has been the major cause behind company's low sales in 4Q 2012. McDonald's new web ordering system is all set to attract more customers in 2013, plus it's also expected to reduce a significant chunk of company's operating costs. In Australia, the company did show some resilience, thanks to new smoothie flavors, lamb sandwiches, and wraps.
McDonald's chief competitor, YUM! Brands (NYSE: YUM), would be reporting its 4Q 2012 earnings on February 4, 2013. Over the last few years, YUM's most profitable market has been China. Recently, one of the news agencies in China reported that the chicken sold in YUM's KFC restaurants contained excessive levels of chemicals. As investigations over its chicken supply became public, the company saw a 6% sales decline in December, 2012 in China. As YUM's issue in China becomes more complicated, it would be interesting to see if YUM meets its earnings estimates. Analysts expect YUM to earn $0.82 per share on sales of $4.11 billion.
When compared to McDonald's which is trading at a PEG of 1.85, YUM's PEG is 1.61, which depicts that YUM is a somewhat attractive buy than McDonald's. However, when it comes to dividends, McDonald's is a far better option than YUM. Over the past few years, McDonald's has remained one of the best dividend paying stocks in the U.S. A dividend yield of 3.30% tells the whole story. In case of YUM, it's yielding a dividend of only 2%.
In case of Burger King (NYSE: BKW), it has recently announced that it won't be doing further business with its old Irish supplier, Silvercreast Foods, as the Irish meat processor has been caught supplying horse meat instead of beef. As a result, a few of Burger King's products would be temporarily unavailable in U.K. Currently, Burger King is trading at a forward P/E (1yr) of 24.93x, making it a rather expensive buy. A mean recommendation of 2.6 also depicts that at the moment, it isn't as attractive as MCD and YUM. It's yielding a dividend of just 0.90%, while its EPS is $24.46; hence, a payout ratio of only 0.65%. This points out the fact that Burger King isn't rewarding its shareholders as it should be.
Although McDonald's did beat its market estimates, it didn't beat them by a great margin amid tough competition and a sluggish industry. The biggest news from its latest earnings release was its net sales for restaurants open at least a year, which grew by 0.1%. In the last quarter, it went down to 2.2% in Europe and U.S. This shows that McDonald's new menus in U.S. and Europe are finally driving sales. Hence, 2013 is all set to be a better year than 2012.
McDonald's has averaged a dividend increase of almost 29% during the last ten years. Recession or no recession, McDonald's dividend has always been on a high. This is a proof that the company's chief objective is to satisfy its shareholders. The latest dividend increase of 10% to $0.77 is also a testimony to this. The bottom line is that, though the company has gone through a somewhat rough patch in the last year, it's gradually picking up and is still one of the best dividend paying stocks in the country. In short, hold McDonald's for long term returns. You can have a further look at our analysis on McDonald's here.

text: UNDATED (WHBL) - ESPN says Aaron Rodgers suffered a small fracture in his collarbone early in Monday night's Green Bay Packers' 27-20 home loss to Chicago. The network's Adam Schefter said the word from NFL sources is that Rodgers could miss around three weeks. There's been no confirmation from the Packers, who say they'll wait for more tests today to determine Rodgers' injury and status. The Pack said its franchise quarterback suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder when Rodgers was hit by Bears' linebacker Shea McClellin. It happened on the final offensive play of the Packers' opening drive. 33-year-old Seneca Wallace had a 53.4 passer rating in relief of Rodgers with 114 passing yards and a pick. He was also sacked four times, as Green Bay only converted one of eight third downs with Wallace in the game. Coach Mike McCarthy said the Packers need to do a better job in its passing game, and Wallace will benefit from a week of practice as the number one quarterback. The Packers have a short week of preparation in getting ready for Sunday's home matchup against Philadelphia. If the Packers decide that Wallace is not the answer, they could promote ex-Badger Scott Tolzien from the practice squad. Also, former Packer Matt Flynn was cut by Buffalo - his third team this season. Green Bay, Chicago, and Detroit are all 5-3 on the season - tied for first place in the NFC North.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Their stories do not always make the biggest headlines, but the impact of what happens to them never goes away. We are talking about survivors of shootings, those who are injured but not killed in violent crimes.
Marc Azerot was shot in the stomach with a round from an assault rifle at close range.
"It didn't kill me. It's only going to make me stronger. It's going to take time," Azerot said.
Marc Azerot says his neighbor shot him in January at his apartment at 29th and Market Streets. DaJuan Malone was arrested for the assault.
Azerot says he had just spoken to Malone an hour earlier and there were no problems.
"I was asleep and my neighbor woke me up out of my sleep and I went to the door, told me he was going to kill me and he shot me," Azerot said. "I kept telling the police, I didn't want to die in the streets. I didn't want to die alone and I had a 10-year-old little girl."
Azerot's injuries were life threatening.
"It's a pain I have never felt before, don't want to feel again," Azerot said.
He showed us how big the wound is and told us the emotional scar is even bigger.
"But I got post traumatic stress disorder. This is what they diagnosed me with and I always thought that was for people who fought in wars. Got me on anxiety medicine," Azerot said.
Azerot says he cannot sleep, he has lost 40 pounds and the fear consumes him. He has left his apartment, cannot work and he does not have any insurance. He says he is trying to get by.
"The whole thing is tragic even though I didn't lose my life it was a tragic situation. It was a tragic event that happened. I will never forget the day, I will never forget the time," Azerot said. "It's hard. It's only been 45 days since it's happened but it's been the hardest 45 days of my life."

A. The seniors that qualify for the program receive home delivered meals, are homebound, have low income, do not have family contact, and/or are clients of City of Scottsdale social workers. If you or someone you know could qualify to be a recipient of this program, he/she must be screened by a City of Scottsdale social worker by calling 480-312-5810.
A. We really need people to "adopt" the seniors, which will cover all of their needs. However, if you want to make a general donation, then we suggest donating $35 grocery gift cards or books of Forever stamps. Every senior receives one of each. Our seniors shop at Albertsons, Basha's, Fry's, Safeway, and Walmart.
A. No. Due to privacy restrictions with our clients, all aspects of the program, especially the delivery process, is done by City of Scottsdale social workers and staff. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the other Scottsdale Shares participants or view the City of Scottsdale's Volunteer page.
A. The recipients recieve the wish lists the third week of October. It can take up to four weeks for the wish lists to be mailed back to Via Linda. The wish lists are forwarded in the order that we receive the adoption form from the donors. The earliest you will receive your wish list is the first week of November. The absolute latest is the last week of November. Please understand that this process is based on when you submit your form and how quickly the wish lists come back to us.
A. All donations, especially gift bags if you adopted, are needed by Friday, December 9th. However, monetary, gift card, and stamp donations can be donated until Monday, December 19th.
A. Yes. Your donations are going through Concerned Citizens for Community Health, a 501(c)(3) organization. Please use the Tax ID# 95 341 6943 for your tax deductible contributions.
A. No. Once again, due to privacy restrictions with our clients, all aspects of the program, especially the delivery process, is done by City of Scottsdale social workers and staff. If you are interested in volunteering your time for this kind of service, there are nonprofit organizations across the valley that provide this type of service to seniors. One example would be home delivered meals.
