LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Call Tony.
I'm sure the big shots that run the Cincinnati Reds have Tony LaRussa's number, but in case they've forgotten, I can help:
After watching the Reds slumber to another blue October in Pittsburgh this week, Cincinnati fans got their wish Friday morning. The news broke that Dusty Baker would not return as the team's manager.
Was he fired? He did quit? Did he get a nice farewell check? Don't sweat the details. Just enjoy.
Baker did wonderful work getting the Reds to October, making the post-season in 2010, 2012 and this season. But Baker discovered what every manager eventually learns:
Getting to October makes people cranky if you don't get your team to November and actually win, or at least play in, as World Series.
Dusty didn't win a World Series. Never has – as Giants' and Cubs' fans will be happy to remind you in a 20-season career as a big-league manager. In Cincinnati, Baker didn't even win a playoff series – losing seven of nine games, punctuated by the 6-2 rollover, flat-line loss in Pittsburgh Tuesday night.
Drive home safely.
The three-game hairball the Reds coughed up after winning the first two games of the National League Divisional Series in San Francisco last season got Cincinnati fans looking for reasons that Baker should not be around for a seventh year.
Those reasons raged in the last week. The Reds were too cool. The Reds lacked passion. The Reds need a leader. The Reds underachieved.
It sounded like an infomercial for hiring LaRussa.
Nobody ever said that about any of LaRussa's teams – not in Chicago, where he got his start with the White Sox. Not in Oakland, where he began his serious push toward the Hall of Fame.
And certainly not in St. Louis, where LaRussa won a pair of World Series and put a nasty bite in the Cardinals' rivalry with the Reds that has never disappeared. Why don't many Reds' fans like LaRussa? Check the scoreboard. It doesn't lie.
Tony LaRussa is the best baseball manager of his generation. Which leads to the next question: Has LaRussa's generation passed?
He's been retired for two complete seasons, walking away from the game after the Cardinals rallied from a 3-2 deficit to beat the Texas Rangers in the 2011 World Series.
LaRussa turns 69 today. (Happy Birthday, Tony. I still believe the best team you ever put together was the 1983 Chicago White Sox. Tito Landrum couldn't hit another home run like that if you gave him 50 more swings.)
Yes, LaRussa is old. But he's only five years older than Baker.
Folks didn't want Baker replaced because of his age. They wanted him replaced because of his wacky decisions like batting Ryan Ludwick second and starting Johnny Cueto in the Wild-Card game against Pittsburgh.
LaRussa can still do it. It's not like he needs to play shortstop for three innings – or even pitch batting practice every day. It's managing. Business leaders drive themselves relentlessly into their 70s all the time.
LaRussa has many qualities that Baker does not show: He's edgy, confrontational, demanding and, at times, tough to play for. He embraces many of baseball's newer statistical analytics.
He also wins.
Would winning in Cincinnati appeal to LaRussa? It might. He has a relationship with Reds' owner Bob Castellini. He has an appreciation for baseball-obsessed towns like Cincinnati.
And LaRussa certainly has a passion for baseball history. He's a sure Hall of Famer, one of four managers to win the World Series with two different franchises.
No manager has won with three different franchises.
The Reds have the core talent to win a World Series. They need a few tweaks. Every franchise does. But their window will be closing. That's why Dusty Baker is departing.
Call Tony. 1-800-World-Series.

Apple earned the number two spot on Interbrand's Best Global Brands 2012 report and the power of Apple's brand value has made the iPhone the top-selling smartphone in the world. The iPhone 5 is facing some competition this week, though.
Today the BlackBerry Z10 is officially available in the US from AT&T. The new phone, garnering positive reviews, becomes available from T-Mobile and Verizon next week.
Samsung's S4 promises to be a competitor in the smartphone space. Shortly after Samsung's recent launch event for the new phone, Apple responded with marketing on its website claiming, "There's iPhone. And then there's everything else."
I had the pleasure of attending the S4 launch event at Radio City Music Hall in New York, which started with a Broadway-inspired performance demonstrating how the phone's features relate to everyday life. Some in attendance panned the performance as "cheesy," but I found the actual phone to be very impressive.
The screen size is a bit larger than any phone currently on the market with a great resolution at 1920 x 1080, making it a great HD streaming handheld device. The event's emcee, Will Chase, noted there is less to hold on the new phone, but much more to see, a great way to justify the large size of the screen.
Adding "group" features such as group play is a smart move. Group play allows multiple phones that are within a reasonable distance to share and stream music simultaneously in different speaker arrangements depending on how many phones are linked up.
What I find so cool about this feature is that it does not require any kind of Wifi or hotspot; this can be done anywhere at any time as long as you have your phone charged. I can see this feature being a hit with the youth market.
Another great feature, but also raises some questions, is the Samsung smart pause. This feature pauses the phone when you aren't looking at it and then unpauses when you are looking again, all automated. Is it just tracking eye movement or does it look for a full head turning motion?
One of the coolest features presented at the event was "Air Gesture." The name truly expresses what it does. Move your finger in front of the screen and it recognizes this as a swipe on the screen.
This feature utilizes an infra-red heat sensor. This device can measure temperature changes and act off of heat movements. I believe this is the first phone for consumers to have this type of sensor in it and it will be interesting to see what the hacker community comes up with for this handy sensor.
The built-in rear camera has 13 megapixels, which is also the highest megapixels on any phone released to date. The associated features with the camera are quite useful and unique. When recording video you can use both cameras on the front and back, enabling you to add the camera man to the video. This dual camera feature is also available for video chat.
On the business side, the phone supports Microsoft Active Sync and in addition to supporting the widely used business mail systems, Samsung has added a very useful application called Samsung KNOX. This KNOX software can separate your applications securely so they can only be accessed via password.
The Samsung software truly makes this device capable of supporting business and personal use at the same time with one smartphone. The hardware is superior to any other phone on the market right now and the camera features invite all kinds of creativeness to the table. The group features add a new dimension to social networking, allowing connectivity without requiring an internet connection.
The "7 sensor innovation" is only the beginning for Samsung. These sensors can be applied to many facets for many industries.
The smartphone sector is definitely heating up.

By CHRISTAL YOUNG
MYFOXNY.COM -- You can't help but be drawn to the enormous display case. A magnifying glass slides along a track so you can get a better look at each ring.
Legendary coach Vince Lombardi helped design the first ring after the packers win in 1967.
Through the years, they've gotten larger and more impressive looking. Frank Supovitz, senior V.P. of events for the NFL, calls the rings a unique piece of Super Bowl memorabilia.
In 1999 just before Super Bowl 33 the NFL standardized the size and quality of the rings.
Former Giants punter Sean Landeta has two rings: from 1986 and 1990. He says he gets a kick out of watching people try them on, present company included.
The day I met Sean his 1986 ring was in the shop for repairs but he vows, neither will ever be sold or given away. Both of Sean's rings were made by the school ring company Balfour. But six of the more recent ones were created by Tiffany and Co.
Former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan was lucky enough to weigh in on the ring that would commemorate his team's win in 2008.
Creating just one Super Bowl ring can take up to a month. From a hand sketch to liquid gold being poured into a wax casting, let's just say the process is a team effort.
The real value of a super bowl ring is priceless, and while nothing beats a New York City parade it must be pretty nice to wear a piece of jewelry that constantly reminds you "That's right -- I'm a winner.

Lemosho Overview - Private Alternative Route
The Lemosho route is a superb option for those who would like to spend some extra days on the mountain. The first few days offer a lesser traveled route with quiet and pristine camps extending your wilderness experience while on Kilimanjaro.
Acclaimed by climbers and media alike Alpine Ascents provides a one-of-a-kind experience on Kilimanjaro as we employ professional mountain guide on each trip. (Most outfitters employ local African staff with relatively limited climbing and medical skills, many are simply safari or trekking companies as their name implies). Our approach of professional mountain guide staffing combined with our commitment to the highest quality, food, facilities, dining and toilet tents, truly sets us apart from other outfitters.
Crowned by eternal snows, the mighty Kilimanjaro (19,340ft) is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and dominates its landscape unlike any other mountain. Located in Tanzania, this extinct volcano looms over five eco-systems and large game reserves and is certainly one of the world's most impressive sights. The terrain is nothing short of dramatic. As a mountaineering company, we treat this adventure as a mountain climbing expedition.
Kilimanjaro is unique in many ways; but stands as the only one of the Seven Summits (the highest point on each continent) that is truly a non-technical climb. Using well-marked trails to the summit, along with our expert guide staff, a fit enthusiast has an excellent chance of reaching the summit. Our expert guides, choice of routes, success and safety have been Alpine Ascents forte on Kilimanjaro. While there are many good outfitters, few if any provide the breadth of services that Alpine Ascents does.
Why Climb Kilimanjaro with Alpine Ascents?
Alpine Ascents on Kilimanjaro
Ascending Kilimanjaro with a mountain climbing organization and a professional mountain guide will greatly improve your chances of success. In addition to the recent recognition in Outside Magazine, National Geographic Adventure, and Travel & Leisure, our Kilimanjaro expedition was selected by Men's Journal and has been highlighted in the New York Times, MSNBC.com and Businessweek.
Some of the keys to our continued success:
Lead Guide: We are one of the only outfitters to send an international mountain guide with medical training on each expedition. All of our guides are well versed in high-altitude medicine and are WFR (Wilderness First Responder) or EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certified.
Knowledge: Alpine Ascents has been guiding on Kilimanjaro for more than 20 years.
Expertise: Alpine Ascents is continually a resource for media and the press on Kilimanjaro related articles.
Success: Alpine Ascents has likely the highest success rate of any guide service, with about 90% summit success over the past 20 years.
Safety: We carry oxygen, a med kit, a satellite phone and local communications equipment on each expedition. After 20-plus years, we have a superb safety record; you are traveling with medically trained mountain guides who have assisted climbers the world over (as opposed to the one-time training most African guides receive). Our guides are all WFR certified (rare for local guides).
Local staff: We offer separate handpicked African staff for the climb and safari. With a full team of climbers, we can have a staff of more than 50 guides, assistants, porters and cooks, as well as with five to six senior guides and our Alpine Ascents guide.
Climber to guide ratio: Along with our lead guide (an Alpine Ascents professional) we employ local guides and generally have a 3:1 climber-to-guide ratio and often add senior staff to summit day, bringing us to 2:1 (or near that).
Preparation: Alpine Ascents puts together a comprehensive gear list with our on-staff gear manager in our Seattle office.
Food: We offer carefully planned, highly nutritious meals, prepared by trained chefs on the mountain and in the safari lodges. We are happy to give you an outline of our menu plan.
Cybercasts: Regular updates are posted to our website so friends and families can follow the expeditions.
Camps: Outstanding tent locations on the mountain (it's one of the most frequent kudos we receive).
Dining and toilet tents: We use high-quality dining tents and provide toilet tents with a commode at each of our camps.
Recognized leadership: We are noted as the top trip among guide services in national magazines and climbing books.
Seven-day climb: We offer a full eight days on our Lemosho Route climb for acclimatization (and ultimately higher summit success).
Safari: Our safari includes three national parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. We also fly back (weather permitting) on the last day, greatly reducing the return trip.
Quality: We lodge in the finest hotels, and travel privately by Land Cruisers.
Experience: More than 2,000 people have climbed Kilimanjaro with Alpine Ascents.
Quality: Superlatives like "five-star," "luxurious," and "incredible" are often used to by our climbers to describe our Kilimanjaro climbing experience.
We are proud partners of the Kilimanjaro Porters Program http://www.kiliporters.org/
As part of this project we can guarantee that our porters are paid among the highest wages. This fosters our relationship with the local Tanzanian community and assists local schools.

The Future Is Here: Refrigerator Drawers from Fisher & Paykel
Who: Fisher & Paykel
What We Noticed: What does the future hold for our kitchens? I, for one, hope the future includes a better refrigerator. Forget the jetpack; I want a fridge that doesn't take up an entire wall of my kitchen, freezes the lettuce, and costs an arm and leg too. When I talked with Thomas Johansson of Electrolux about the future of the kitchen last fall, the fridge was what he promptly focused on. And here's one way that new fridge could work out: Fridge drawers.
I'm pretty obsessed with these fridge drawers from Fisher-Paykel. Drawers seem inherently more space-saving in small kitchens. Instead of having a whole wall of refrigerator, what about having two large drawers under the countertop, leaving more workspace free?
Sure, drawers may not work for every kitchen — and could they be made so those big pans of lasagna and a triple layer cake fit inside?
But there's something really intriguing about drawers, especially if they were flexible in their programming. I actually bumped into Thomas Johansson again at KBB London and we chatted a little more about refrigerators and their role in modern kitchens. His point was that since people are focusing more on the quality of their ingredients, and often spending so much more on food these days, then they will demand that their fridge take better care of that food and keep it fresher.
One way I would love to see that happen is more flexible zones in refrigerators, with adjustable temperature settings to optimize a drawer or even turn it temporarily into a "root cellar" environment, warmer than a refrigerator and suitable for storing root vegetables and potatoes. Or perhaps a drawer that could be switched, at the touch of a button, from fridge to freezer, when you want to store more frozen foods.
Fridge drawers, like these from Fisher-Paykel, are smart and space-saving, but still quite expensive and not mainstream, however. Would you use them? How would you like to see your fridge fit your kitchen better?

oh YES PLEASE, this sounds wonderful. It makes me mad every time I inadvertantly freeze something in my fridge. It's supposed to be a good fridge! My husband is slightly obsessed with the FP dishwasher drawers, too.
I would love to try these drawers. Hopefully they will be cost effective and available soon.
AMEN. Fridge drawers are totally where it's at. They just make sooooo much sense to me. No forgotten leftovers in the back/top/bottom where they can't be seen, no more space hogging (imagine all the counter space you'd gain), different foods in different drawers (no cross contamination).

Long suffering Bears fans were–to say the least–unhappy with quarterback Jay "I Got a Boobo" Cutler and his performance during one of the most important games in recent Chicago football history. So, what to do? Burn the guy's jersey, that's what! (At right, a picture of fans burning his jersey following the loss to the Packers. Photo credit: Twitpic @brianvanarsdale) We're not saying we agree with such pyrotechnics, but we can certainly understand the fans frustration after watching the game. Even when he wasn't "injured" Cutler did not look like a Super Bowl caliber quaterback.
We're surprised no one burned Devon Hestor jerseys as well. What did he do to help the cause yesterday? Maybe the Bears can trade both of them for a decent quarterback . . or at least a bag of magic beans. Something. Anything!
Here's the story from NESN:
It didn't take long for Chicago Bears fans to react to their NFC Championship loss to the Green Bay Packers. Not surprisingly, they took it out on the team's starting quarterback. After the game, several Bears fans got the outlash started by burning a Jay Cutler jersey.
Cutler left the game early in the third quarter due to an apparent knee injury and never returned. Although the injury's severity is unknown, many Bears fans will likely question their quarterback's guts and courage to continue to play in a game with such importance. Cutler finished the game 6-for-14 passing with 80 passing yards, one interception and a 31.8 passer rating.

"Byzantium" sounds like an awesome Norwegian black metal band but it is in fact Neil Jordan's upcoming flick about two vampires who befriend a young girl. The film has just been slapped with a June 28th release date in limited theaters and VOD. My only hope is there's at least some corpse paint or a lanky kid who wears a ratty leather jacket. Something!
Lindsay Seim, who you might remember from... well I have no idea actually, has been confirmed to be staring in "Insidious: Chapter 2", the upcoming sequel to the 2010 much loved hit. Seim will be playing the younger version of Elise Rainer, the voodoo high priestess from the original flick. At least I think that's what she was. She spoke funny words and claimed to be able to communicate with the dead so lets call a spade a spade.
Curtis Gwinn and Channing Powell have been added to the writing team for season 4 of "The Walking Dead". Maybe they can finally write in some smiles for the gang? It can't possibly be true that not one person has cracked some pearlies since the zombie outbreak happened.
Writer Seth Grahame-Smith took to his tweets to drop a bomb that leads one to believe that he's about to put pen to paper on "Beetlejuice 2". The picture shows our favorite beetled one standing in front of a Mac with the caption "It's showtime". A clever little setup that probably took about the same time it would have taken him to write a few pages worth of the new script. But hey take your time. It hasn't even been 30 years yet.
Who hasn't seen a porn where the prison guard and the hot inmate go nutso for some extra fruit cocktail at the lunch line? No one I know. But a story about a guard trading an inmate cookies for sex... Something just seems sleazy about that.
Who doesn't find a picture of a little baby holding a beer bottle adorable? It's funny because they can't drink! A video of a 2 year old smoking out of a bong though... that'll get your ass tossed into jail
Hey folks, it's your Editor-in-Chief Eric back on the newsdesk. Have you checked out all our awesome NEW podcasts yet?. You definitely should, and don't forget to enter our contest for this amazing Michael Myers mask. It's only live until Friday night at 11:59pm, EST. Now, on with the news...
Len Wiseman has signed on to direct a remake of "The Mummy". Not the real one, the shitty Brendan Frasier one. I'd like to just cut to the chase and see the movie where him and Paul W.S. Anderson team up to make a movie entirely about their wives running in slow motion. Just think of the possibilities.
Winona Ryder was asked this past weekend at Fantastic Fest whether or not she was excited about the idea of possibly being in "Bettlejuice 2", and her response was to sarcastically roll her eyes and say "ya, that would be great..." See, she's in character already! Ya, this is going to go well.
Check out the alternate ending to "The Thing" remake. All this reminds me of is that "The Thing" remake was so forgettable, I couldn't even tell you what happened in the original ending. So, success?
A Vatican newspaper has slammed the Italian release of Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" because it "mishandles the delicate questions raised by... the battle eternal between good and evil in yet another attempt to steak the secret of immortality". So, for the record, the people ruled by a pedophile protector in a funny hat who believe a guy lives in the sky constantly judging you... they think "Promtheus" gets God all wrong. Noted.
I'm pretty sure they forgive you for anything if your wife is in labor and you're trying to get to the hospital. Okay maybe not hi-jacking a car and leading police on a dangerous high speed pursuit... but then again this is Florida, it's a lawless swamp down there.
And here's an an 80 year old woman doing a keg-stand. Joe just fell in love...
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Yecch! Check out the size of the math problem below. Makes you woozy just looking at the thing. And it's kind of missing something like NUMBERS, right?
But take a closer look. All of those phrases represent some pretty common knowledge stuff. It seems if you replace those things with the numbers they represent, you'll have yourself an obnoxious, but fairly simple, equation.
And, when you get an answer to that wacky mess, take it to the next screen. There we'll show you something pretty cool you can do with that really big number.
If you take an incorrect answer to the
next level, you'll know it -- because nothing out of the ordinary
will happen. Hey, nothing ever does when you get a wrong number.
Number of major league baseball teams in the National League
The bill with Abe Lincoln on it
Number of sisters that Bart Simpson has
Number most commonly found on a pencil

I ordered the Logitech C110 Webcam on Nov 15, 2011, 12:33 AM and product delivered on 16/11/2011 2:30 PM. What a service from Flip kart. Five starts to it.
Coming to the Logitech C110, Very nice Picture Quality. Picture looks very sharp and very clear. Plug and play device. No need to run any CD or software for that. Tested on Skype, Gtalk, Yahoo messenger.
In built Mic is also there. No need of headset with mic

Got this today, struggled with awesome packaging of flipkart, opened, plugged and done :)
The product is fantastic, logitech is well-known for its quality products, and this cam is no exception. for this price, I honestly cannot expect more. This one is a LOT better than my last intex webcam which cost more than this and could not be left plugged in due to the annoying night vision feature. The mic also seems good (I already had some good headphones, so I didnt want to buy another one just for the mic, this product solved my problem)
Seriously, like the above person says, blindly go for t... (Expand)
I needed a webcam to be used by my parents to be used on a CRT monitor in windows XP configuration, and this product was a perfect choice.

4.VVIMP operates on a single usb port no additional jack for mic., and long enough cable.{w/o guarantee China made webcam comes with adition jack for mic which are not at all reliable had a bad experience}

I got this 2 days from the day I ordered. As always, flipkart rocks.
Coming to the webcam, I opted to buy this after comparing different products and let me tell you this, it has gone beyond my expectation.
It is 1.3mp camera but gives a HD video quality without a slightest compromise in clarity. My broadband has never seen a lag even though this has the HD transmission from my side. My fear of that was cleared when I started using it.
Friends tell me that my background also could be seen with the sharpest detailed experience, all thanks to the software integrated in this webcam by Logit... (Expand)

FRENCHTOWN TOWNSHIP – Power is expected to be restored by noon to about 147 customers north of Nadeau Rd. after a transformer failed.
DTE Spokesman John Austerberry said crews are on the scene, which is between I-75 and War Rd. The outage began around 6:45 a.m. It has nothing to do with a semi rollover accident on I-75 in South Rockwood, Mr. Austerberry added.

Update, Oct. 30: We'll be posting our post mortem Monday, Nov. 2.
This isn't the post mortem we're working on but there is a lot of traffic to this site today, obviously looking for some thoughts, so here are a few rapid-fire ones:
- Boeing says it didn't go into the labor negotiations with a preconceived decision. But we think if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. We always felt Line 2 was Charleston's to "lose," so to speak, and that Everett was a very, very long shot.
- But at the same time, the IAM asked for stuff that just had no chance of being accepted. Some of this originated with the IAM national leadership that had nothing to do with the needs of the IAM local. We'll talk about this more in our post mortem.
- The successor airplanes to the 737 and 777, with decision timelines we estimate to be in the 2013-15 period, will be Puget Sound's Rubicon. With the IAM and SPEEA contracts coming up in 2012, the outcome of these will dictate with finality where the successor airplanes will be. We predicted in April that these will not be in Puget Sound. We also predicted in April Line 2 would be in Charleston.
- Washington State and labor have to decide what they are willing to do between now and 2012-15 to try and keep the successor airplanes. We predict they will all dither away these opportunities through inertia (on the part of the politicians) and resentment (on the part of labor).
This will have to tide readers over until we can fully do our post mortem.

This study explores the relationship between soccer and Toronto's Italian immigrants throughout the 1970s to the now-mythical 1982 celebration of the Italian team's FIFA World Cup victory on Toronto's Corso Italia. The celebration's location in a distinctly ethnic neighbourhood is linked to concepts of 'place' and 'identity' which made it central to the construction of an Italian-Canadian identity during the era of Multiculturalism policies. Toronto's Italian-Canadians used the victory as a way of recognizing their own worth to society and to proudly and publicly solidify their integration into the Canadian multicultural landscape. Soccer helped them create and maintain a multi-dimensional transnational identity that reinforced the importance of their ethnic community. It also provided them with a visual way to relate to the nation. This study shows that this nationalism transcended traditional gender constraints and transformed this sport victory celebration into a family event, which included males and females alike. Eighteen interviews of Italian-Canadians who lived in and around the Toronto area throughout the 1970s and early 1980s reveal what they remember about the soccer-related events of that time period and how they feel about those memories now. This study also examines various Italian, Italian-Canadian, and English-language Canadian newspapers that covered specific sporting events and celebrations from 1978 to 1983, with a particular focus on the 1982 World Cup. It argues that in this case a collective memory has been created and conditioned by the way the media portrayed the event and how Toronto's Italian-Canadian cultural community sustained it.

Pfizer's day of reckoning
Its best-selling drug ever goes off patent. What's next for the world's largest drug company?
The day finally came when the world's largest drug company, Pfizer (PFE), lost patent protection on the best selling drug ever, cholesterol fighter Lipitor.
Lipitor has been a major source of income for the New York-based pharmaceutical. The pill was released in 1997, and by 2006 it had reached peak sales of $12.9 billion, accounting for 27% of the company's revenue. Even after Pfizer acquired Wyeth, Lipitor still accounted for 15.8% of total revenue in 2010, with $10.8 billion in sales. Altogether, Lipitor sales surpassed $100 billion.
But now it has lots more competition coming -- at dramatically cheaper prices. On Wednesday, the day Pfizer's decade and half-long patent expired, Watson Pharmaceuticals (WPI) launched an authorized generic version of Lipitor, atorvastatin. Pfizer isn't totally missing out. Part of its exclusive agreement includes paying Pfizer a share of its sales of generic Lipitor. Indian generics manufacturer, Ranbaxy Laboratories, will also market generic Lipitor. It won approval from the FDA Wednesday. Ranbaxy will share its first first six months' profit with Teva (TEVA).
After the six months exclusivity, other generic manufacturers will be able to enter the market as well, which would lower the price even more -- to about 80% of the branded version. That may cause Pfizer to lose 90% of the market, if it follows the path others have experienced.
Pfizer not giving up on Lipitor sales
But Pfizer, which was unable to offset the anticipated lost Lipitor sales in traditional ways, has devised other methods for keeping a big piece of the Lipitor pie for years to come.
Pfizer is providing discounts and incentives for patients and insurers among other practices, according to the AP. It also managed to get agreements with companies that process prescriptions to block the ability of the pharmacists to dispense the generic.
So while Lipitor sales are bound to decline, they could remain much larger than many had expected. In fact, Watson CEO told the AP and CNBC that he predicts Pfizer will keep 40%-45% of the market over the next six months. To wit, Watson shares closed nearly 4% lower Wednesday to $64.62. Pfizer shares, on the other hand, actually climbed 3.45% to close at $20.07. Throughout this week investors have cheered the maneuvers by the drugmaker.
So is it time to buy Pfizer?
Has investor fear of the Lipitor doomsday created a buying opportunity in the stock? This largely depends on your investment strategy and horizon.
Investors can focus on the fact that Pfizer was unable to properly prepare for the hit it's about to take to its revenue, either through research or though acquisition. But Pfizer does have several attractive features.
Just on Tuesday, the FDA accepted a Pfizer/Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) anti-clot drug Eliquis for fast review. The drug in question certainly has blockbuster potential. Another potential is Pfizer's rheumatoid arthritis drug tofacitinib. Others, such as the Prevnar vaccine, also hold great growth potential.
The company is also expected to spin off its animal health business. It gave no word yet on the plans for its infant formula business. The combined value of the businesses could reach about $25 billion to $32 billion, Reuters reported. And with its massive cash hoard, Pfizer can easily look elsewhere to complement its pipeline and compensate for R&D cuts.
Meanwhile, Pfizer also has one of the highest dividend yields among the Dow Jones stocks. At 80 cents a year, the yield is very near 4%.
When it reported third quarter results, the drugmaker raised its full-year earnings forecast. It also increased its 2011 share-buyback plan to between $7 billion and $9 billion, up from between $5 billion and $7 billion.
If investors expect a repeat of Lipitor, they shouldn't hold their breath. A drug on that magnitude is unlikely to come along again. As Mathew Herper of Forbes explains, the paradigm has shifted to more specialized medicines rather than a one-drug-fits-all. But Pfizer is not without its positives. And buying the stock in turbulent times could prove a good move for those with a long-term horizon.

Chapter 1
Bella's P.O.V.
"Bella where were you last night? I gave you a ten o'clock curfew and you came in at two-thirty!" Charlie yelled. He was infuriated.
"I just lost track of time; calm down. I'm here now aren't I?" I said calmly. I hadn't known he'd be this upset.
"Calm down? Calm down!" He shouted. "You had me worried sick, Bella! Give me a reason to calm down! What were you doing out so late?"
"Ahhhh!" I felt myself getting angry so I turned around. I had my back to him now. I felt myself changing; I ran as fast as I could out the door and and got in my truck before the screen door even slammed shut.
"Bella you can't run away from this! You are grounded!" He hollered at me while I was putting my keys in the ignition.
"Yeah, bye." I said while turning my head the other way. When I drove away, I parked on the side of the road and looked at myself in the mirror. I was right. My face had changed. I had red eyes and fangs.
Oh by the way, did I forget to mention I'm a vampire? I'm 17 but originally I'm 147 years old. I've been around for decades; for centuries. My sister and I are the only vampires we know. We were changed by some guy who we met at the cinemas. We thought he was joking until it actually happened. I mean it sounded so stupid! All we had to do was let him take our blood, then we had to take his. By 'take' I mean eat, suck whatever you want to call it, and then we would have to die. We would then take another human's blood. That's what we did! He sucked our blood which stung and was so uncomfortable. Then we drank some of his. He cut his wrist open with his teeth since we obviously didn't have fangs, and then we did! Then he killed us and when we woke up, we fed on some poor human's blood. We decided not to kill them; we took their blood then wiped their memory. I was pretty freaked out at the whole memory thing, but it's one of the great things of being a vampire. Just taking the memory away! Kind of fun! My sister was older than me. She was 147, too, but she got turned when she was 20. She doesn't live with us and by us I mean Charlie and I. In case you're wondering, Charlie doesn't know about the whole vampire thing. I've learned that I can control my thirst for blood. I still go out at night and take blood from humans who I've never met before, but I erase their memory. So who am I hurting? I mean without blood, I'd be weak.
My sister occasionally visits when she feels like it. Her and I are so different! She thinks it's wrong to prey on innocent people! Yep! Those were her exact words, so she takes blood from animals. I on the other hand, I couldn't care less! I'm stronger than her since she takes from animals!
Nobody knows about me being a vampire except my sister Lexi and the guy who changed us, who I haven't seen in 146 years. Anyway, enough about me. Back to reality!
So here I am on the side of a road. I'd finally turned back to human form. It takes about a minute to go from a vampire to a human. Of course if I wanted to stay in vampire form, I could do that as well. I looked at the time on my watch and realized I was 10 minutes late for school! So I pulled up in the parking lot and rushed to English. I sat in my seat and there was a guy sitting at the side of me. He had bronze hair and was very pale for a human. He was reading a book. I leaned over so I could see the cover. It was Romeo & Juliet.
"Romeo and Juliet; good, classic, but kind of dull," I said to him.
"I agree in some ways," he said, still not looking up from his book.
"So, are you new? I haven't seen you before."
"Yeah. My family and I just moved here from Alaska. I'm Edward Cullen. What is your name?" He looked up from his book; his eyes met mine. They were such a beautiful golden-topaz color.
"Isabella Swan."
I then realized Edward was a human. Because of his pale skin, I has assumed he was a vampire but I could smell his blood now; and I liked it! I became very excited because I realized I wanted to get to know him! Find out what he liked and disliked… But I also wanted something else: his blood.

Uh, it would depend on the individual - normally I don't date men who are younger than I am because I'm mature for my age.
Ultimately it comes down to having someone who fits into your life. Right now I have a career - a 9-5 and then I'm out weekends. I could never date someone who was 23 and a bar tender. We'd never seen each other you know?
In most cases I'm not sure that being with someone younger would be the best relationship for me and what I'd like from a partner at this time.
And…they have to love bulldogs *L

It's never easy to talk with aging parents about the end of life, but it was maybe particularly difficult for New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast and her parents. Chast joined Fresh Air today to talk about her new graphic memoir, Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? In the interview she tells us about hiring a lawyer who specialized in talking about the difficult topics of death and money:
"This person was really good. And I think he was able to … somehow make them trust him enough that they could open up a little bit about things that they really never wanted to open up about, like money and talking about the future. I was there with them when he came over and we talked about things like health care proxy forms. Things I had never thought about, things I had never heard of. It was very, very helpful."

What Microsoft Could Learn From McDonald's
Robby is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Sales of Microsoft's new Surface tablet are uninspiring. According to Forbes, which cited Detwiler Fenton, Microsoft probably will sell between 500,000-600,000 Surface tablets in Q2 of FY2013, while the company had estimated tablet sales to be between 1 and 2 million. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is a veteran tech company with the resources to develop its own tablet; the company has the cash to invest heavily into R&D, and the tablet market has been booming. With all these conditions favorable to Microsoft, why are consumers turned off by their new device?
This isn't an article about the usability of the Surface tablet; this is an article about Microsoft's strategy for its grand entrance into the tablet market. With Microsoft pricing the Surface at $499 and up, I'm surprised that they're surprised that sales for the device haven't skyrocketed. The PC market is declining, so I applaud the company for making this bold move to evade obsolescence, but Microsoft needs to be realistic about its price point. Does Microsoft think of itself as a premium brand? Personally, I've always been loyal to Windows PCs solely because their cost is so low. Once upon a time, I considered purchasing a Macbook Pro – a truly premium laptop – but after realizing the cost was at least double that of a Windows computer with similar specifications, I stayed with Microsoft's ecosystem. I would always prefer to buy two or three Windows laptops for the same price as one Macbook.
Now, with Windows pricing its tablet at roughly the same price as Apple's iPad, Microsoft eliminated the only competitive advantage it had. Microsoft products don't compete on the basis of luxury, they compete on the basis of price. If Carl the Consumer is looking for the trendiest technology, the most extravagant computer, or the most stylish devices, he'll probably buy it from Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).
Apple is a company that never offers discounts – their users pay full-price all the time, every time. The company has the leverage to command high prices because its products are premium products – Apple has a monopoly on the Apple brand, and the market is willing to pony up the cash to own it. Microsoft, it seems, isn't able to generate quite the same level of enthusiasm to justify Apple-level prices.
The only way for Microsoft to get a foothold in the tablet market is to undercut Apple's price. Microsoft might even lose money by reducing the price of its tablet, but the initial loss would be worth it. Microsoft needs to lure users back into their ecosystem and vitalize sales of its peripheral devices. The company's new operating system – Windows 8 – depends on widespread adoption of the Surface tablet. The whole point of the reimagined operating system was to launch Microsoft into the world of tablet computing, and without any initial excitement about its tablet, and with the overabundance of Windows 8 insults, Microsoft's transition away from the dying PC market will be a difficult one.
Microsoft should take a look at McDonald's strategy. The fast food restaurant has seen enormous success by heavily marketing inexpensive products (e.g. the Dollar Menu) and by promoting low-grade items (e.g. the McRib). Not every diner is looking for a five-star meal. I'm not slamming McDonald's, of course – I commend the company for its rational business model and expert promotional campaigns like the McRib tour. And, to be thorough, I should point out that the company offers menu options aside from just their Dollar Menu and just the McRib. McDonald's sells products at various price points including "premium salads" and "premium roast coffee," and these pricier foods have their place even alongside a Dollar Menu. The company, however, doesn't lose sight of their target demographic, and neither should Microsoft.
If Microsoft fails to gain traction in the tablet market, the consequences could be dire. Now that Windows 8 seems to be universally hated, and with critics advising PC users to stay with Windows 7, consumers have less incentive to purchase a new PC with the new ecosystem. Microsoft needs to catch consumer interest in its new tablet, and its bait needs to be a low price that users expect.

#Cardinals prospect Oscar Taveras is not back in Class AAA lineup as ankle soreness persists, confounds ...
Cardinals top prospect Oscar Taveras continues to be sidelined by an ankle strain that was expected to have him back on the field by now. Taveras did not start this afternoon's game for Class AAA Memphis. He was scheduled to return as recently as five days ago, and then targeted for a return over this Memorial Day weekend. Neither has happened. Taveras continues to take batting practice and work in the field, but the act of taking the field has been difficult. An official described his as perpetually on the cusp of a return during this process. The Cardinals hope to make a clearer call by Tuesday -- the disabled list is one option -- and the earliest Taveras could return now is Friday.

After more than a decade of scoring hit after hit, the members of Rascal Flatts know when one of their songs connects with fans. Lead singer Gary LeVox sees the connection when they perform their latest single, "Changed," every night on the road.
He tells Billboard , "I look so forward to that part of the show. You see grown men and young kids crying at the power of music and what it does to people is absolutely phenomenal."
The Flatts are hearing from their fans in other ways about the power of "Changed." One guy even e-mailed the band telling them the song's message of hope convinced him to decide against committing suicide.
Says Gary, "To have that impact on someone that is thinking about ending their own life is really unbelievable, it truly is."
"Changed" is the title cut from Rascal Flatts' latest album and the title of their current tour as well. Check RascalFlatts.com for tour dates.
