AICN COMICS: So you missed Comic Con? Part I: A Tribute to SDCC Founder Richard Alf! ComicsPro: Retail Optimism! Digital Comics Price Fight! Spotlight on Geof Darrow!
Hey folks, Ambush Bug here. While I continue to recover and transcribe all of the stuff I did and said at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con, I am fully aware of the fact that some of the world didn't go to this year's entertainment mecca. For those who thought that all San Diego consisted of was Hall H and cosplay, this little series of reports are here to prove you wrong. Roving reporter James Coville attended a ton of comic book related panels and was nice enough to pass them on to me so I could share with all of you. So even though you missed out on the con this year (or just wasted your time in line for Hall H), but here are a few panels that reminded folks why the world Comic still exists in the title Comic Con.
So sit back and listen to the extremely interesting and informative recordings from the con. And maybe if you stew a concoction of ass and turnips to sniff while watching, if you close your eyes, it'll be just like you were there at the panel itself!
Spotlight on Geof Darrow
Geof Darrow wins an Inkpot award and talks about how he got started in comics with Moebius, Frank Miller and the Wachowski Brothers. He showed a partly worked on Shaolin Cowboy Anime that had no audio, but gave funny commentary as it played. He talked in detail about trying to get the anime created and some road bumps he encountered along the way. Geof took the unusual step of asking the audience questions and giving them some signed prints for answering them. The audience did ask him some questions and the Geof talked about good movies the audience should see towards the end.
ComicsPro: Retail Optimism
A cross section of retailers talked about reasons to be Optimistic in the current comic market. On the panel was Joe Field (Flying Colors Comics, Concord, CA), Carr D'Angelo (Earth-2 Comics, Sherman Oaks, CA), Thomas Gaul (Corner Store Comics, Anaheim, CA), and Calum Johnston (Strange Adventures Bookshop, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada). From the back Amanda Emmert (Muse Comics + Games, Colorado Springs, CO) asked questions. They revealed some very good news about how the market has rebounded in 2012 and also trades stories with the audience of primarily retailers on cheap, easy promotions that created big sales. They talked about the demographics of readers now and how digital comics market is affecting them, among other topics.
A Tribute to Richard Alf
Richard Alf was one of the co-founders of the San Diego Comic Con and was it's chairman in the early years. Moderated by Mike Towry, friends of Richard Ed Cormier, Earl Bookhammer, David Clark, Bob Beerbohm, William Clausen, Paul Sammon, George Clayton Johnson, Greg Koudoulian, David McClone, Denis Smith, Clayton Moore, David Glanzer and Rob Ray from San Diego University gather to talk about meeting Richard, what he was like, how he helped the convention and more.
Digital Comics Price Fight
Moderated by Chip Mosher, Mark Waid, Jeff Webber, Scott Kurtz, Chris Ross talk about how to price digital comics. Mark Waid was late getting to the panel which lead to Chip calling his cell and leaving a voice message with the audience participation. The group talked about what price a digital comic should be and a bit about how much comics they should get for that price. Scott Kurtz was not shy about talking about his issues with the way ComiXology business works, those on the panel asked the audience some question about pricing structures for digital comics. DRM (digital rights management) was also an issue that was brought up too.
Look for more panels for your listening pleasure later this week!

The guy always entertains and is not only one of the best artists living today, but a hell of a storyteller. And he just doesn't give a shit, which is refreshing in this comics world of PR and canned responses. I can't wait until the SHAOLIN COWBOY animation is complete. It looked amazing.

Digital Comics Pricing
by Number_Six
Bit late to the party on this one, not sure if anyone's still paying attention - I know the music's stopped, the tortilla chips have gone stale, and that girl's passed out in the corner in a pool of her own sick, but hey, never let it be said I'm afraid to outstay my welcome. Thanks for posting these AB, particularly the digital comics price fight ... it's a subject that's been on my mind for some time, and just haven't found an outlet to discuss it properly yet. I thought I had this all sussed out, but it was really interesting to hear the different viewpoints put forth across the panel ... from the creators, to the publishers, and Comixology who are my route to these things via my iDevices. I'm in my mid 30s and was actively into comic books in my teens, I read mostly DC and Marvel - Batman, Superman, X-Men, Spider-man, those were my vices, but artists helped me crossover and I followed favourites like Breyfogle and McFarlane to other houses and titles. I guess I start to leave comics behind when I started Uni, discovered beer and girls, and more demands on my meagre cashflow limited what I could realistically spend it on - sex and drunkeness won out over brightly coloured spandex - although on those special nights I was able to combine all three ;) Cough, ahem, moving on ... I first discovered comics apps on my iPhone 3GS, think it was probably the Marvel app first, then DC, then at some stage I got tired of flipping between apps and, realising the apps were made by the same people, eventually settled on the primary Comixology app which kept all my stuff together, and also introduced me to other titles. I was interested to see how it would work, trying to read comics panel by panel on a smartphone, but it worked reasonably well ... I had a similar conversion with the Kindle app ... you eventually forget you're reading on an electronic medium, and get involved in the story. Free comics hooked me in at first, and then I'd start paying for titles that interested me. Getting the iPad was a turning point, that in many ways was just like reading a comic book, you could see a whole page, drink in the majesty of a well put together panel flow, see where things were going and remind yourself where you'd been ... it was less disjointed than the iPhone experience. I can't read comics on my iPhone now, but I love reading them on my iPad ... I'm a digital comics convert. So, here I am, a comics fan of old reintroduced to beloved medium through the wonders of technology ... I'm older now, I work, I'm well paid, I can spend my cash on what I like and yet I have responsibilities, home, family, etc., and thus I'm not about to just throw money away ... hence the issue of digital comic pricing is something that twists my melon from time to time. I'm in the UK, so our pricing differs slightly, for obvious currency conversion reasons and also I think based on what they can get away with ... a 99c comic for us is 99p, a $2 comic is £1.50, and a $4 comic is £2.50 ... I'll try and talk in dollar terms for the wider audience though, save confusion. $4 is my top end for a single issue, but I want a lot of pages for that, I'll pay more for a compilation or graphic novel, but it has to be good value. From listening to the panel it seems there's a lot of chatter about 99c being the optimal price for a digital comic amongst the readers ... although some quantify that a little more and express that should be the price for a 22/23 page comic. I think that's where I'm at, more or less ... or, rather, that I think the price should be tied to the amount of content you get for your money. It was interesting to hear one of the panel state that they just couldn't make a new release 22/23 page comic work at 99c, yet it outright pisses me off to see major publishers like Marvel and DC trying to charge $4 for new releases with such a paltry number of pages ... I feel ripped off, so I don't buy those titles. I liked that one of the panel members suggested they'll release new stuff at $4, then after a few weeks reduce it to $2, that works for me. I think DC does that with some of their New 52 titles. I'm still thinking 22/23 pages is piss poor though. What irks me even more is when those 22/23 pages aren't genuine, when you get multiple 'collectors' covers and advertising pages at the end ... screw that ... I'm then potentially paying $4 for much less, for something which, as Scott Kurtz so eloquently put it, I've finished reading before I even need to flush. I used to feel that digital product should cost considerably less than print product, as there's no production cost, you don't need paper, ink, distribution, shelf space ... thinking about books and comics ... but I realise that someone takes their cut with digital regardless, and creators get raped somewhere along the line, either by Apple, Comixology, or Amazon with Kindle - unless they self publish, but then their revenues are minimised through a less obvious route to market. Creators lose in this, that's a shame. Consumers lose too though, and I reckon ultimately it'll be consumers who drive where this goes ... as the guy from Comixology pointed out, the pricing model is working right now, the publishers set the prices and the readers pay, so the price will remain the same until sales fall and the publishers are forced to reset prices. The big publishers are really screwing us, their primary market is still print on the majority of titles ... they're doing that anyway, digital is a bonus, thus they should be afford to let it go for less ... if someone wants something physical they can keep and own forever, go to a comic store, pay a little more, and get the actual comic book - if all you're getting is a ditigal representation that lets you enjoy the story, but you've nothing tangible to show for your expenditure, it shouldn't cost as much, you shouldn't pay as much, and if you don't the publishers will have to act. For me it feels like we need perhaps a price per page, there should be a cap (there must always be a Cap, but I mean a limit, you understand), and the price should age gracefully with the book ... so, up to 25 genuine pages should cost $2, up to 40 pages should cost $3, and if you want me to bend over the desk and slip $4 out of my back pocket I'll be wanting 40+ pages thank you very much. Compilations should cost significantly less than the aggregate cost of their constituent components, 4 x $2 issues should not make an $8 'book'. We will pay more for more pages, however ... but keep 'value' in mind. Don't trying and rip us off and you'll actually make more money, I won't buy one $4 comic was 22 pages, but I might buy 3 of those for $2 apiece ... so you've gone from not making $4 to all of a sudden making $6. Do the maths (yes maths, not math, I'm Scottish). Thank you. Six

Study: Spanking spurs violence
New study lays out a connection between spanking, aggression, anxiety and depression, so examine your actions carefully
There are few topics that spark controversial discussion more than politics. Here's one, though: spanking children. If just the topic of spanking makes you tense, consider what a new study is saying about the act of spanking.
According to researchers, if you spank kids under the age of 1, you'll have a hitting, screaming, tantrum-prone kid by the age of three. By age five, your kid will have fully identifiable depression and/or anxiety.
There's a specific relationship between the two: Spanking at age 1 produces greater aggressive behavior, which eventually becomes depressive behavior. "Prior research had indicated that spanking was related to each type of child behavior ," University of Wisconsin's Andrea Gromoske told a reporter. "It turned out that spanking was directly related to future aggressive behaviors."
Many people are pretty quick to nod their heads when asked whether video game violence leads to real violence, and the question of mental health looms large when the country grieves over events such as the Newtown, Conn. school shootings. In adults, depression and anxiety are widely known to manifest as anger and violence. But what if researchers hit the nail on the head… that the seed of violence of any kind by adults could be planted even earlier than we thought, through parental disciplinary action that molds a child's psyche pretty much right after birth? Should we reshape our views on discipline in the name of anti-violence?
Like many controversial topics, the answer depends on whom you ask. The jury on spanking is – clearly – still out. In some studies, parental polling shows that nine out of 10 parents think a "good swat on the behind" is fine, while others polls show parents believe strongly in a "good hard spanking" every now and then. Officially, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no spanking, but a three-step approach to discipline instead.
Many child behavior experts suggest reinforcing positive behaviors and providing structure and routine. Time-outs for toddlers are highly recommended by several child psychologists. KidsHealth.org believes in communicating the connection between behavior and consequence at ages 3 through 8.
One big thing to remember: Kids are sponges and soak up everything from their immediate surroundings. That amazing ability to absorb a language so easily at a young age also lets them learn behaviors, both good and bad. As adults, our own behaviors are a teaching tool. Be aware that your actions – and interactions – make a strong, lasting impression on your children.

With Spanking, Nature and Nurture Create More Aggression
Spanking not beating is not abuse. Before age 1 I don't believe but even then they need correction at times. Not spanking and correcting children is why we have so many misbavior problems with children today. I have seen kids screaming at their parents going through Department stores and throwing fits to get their way over buying something they want until they get it. God gave us those children to train and love and nurture to be adults and we have a generation of spoiled adults right now that want want want everything they see whether they can afford it or not and disrespectful to their parents on top of it. So a spank on the bottom is not abuse it is what God tells us in his word on how to bring up our children to respect their elders and they will be useful in our society. If it keeps going like it is now God Help our Country it is in enough of a mess.

American Made Automobiles for Union Members to shop
- Categorized in: American Made Products, Automotive
Do You Know Where Your Car is Made?
Listed below are 75 American-made automobiles. Each vehicle listed is built with union labor. But regardless of how you may feel about the labor movement in general, the fact remains that foreign automakers producing in the U.S. predominantly assemble their automobiles in low-wage states like Alabama and Kentucky, where American-owned automakers (Ford and General Motors) predominantly produce in high-wage union states like Michigan.
This author has nothing against any state in our great country. We are all part of America and deserve jobs just like anyone else. The point I am trying to make is that this is one of many relatively unknown facts that give foreign-owned automakers huge cost advantages over American-owned automakers. Consider the following:
In 1997, the state of Alabama granted huge subsidies to Mercedes in exchange for a plant that would employ 1,500 people. What were the details of this huge incentive package? $300 million in tax breaks, $253 million in direct incentives, $60 million in Alabama taxpayer money to send fellow Alabamans to Germany for training, and a promise to buy 2,500 of the new Mercedes SUV's at $30,000 each. Based on just the initial $300 million grant alone, those 1,500 jobs will cost Alabama taxpayers $200,000 per job. Apparently Alabama, not Mercedes, will be paying those salaries for years to come. With deals like these, it's no wonder foreign automakers have stepped up production in the U.S. We'll even pay their workers' salaries for them!
In 1987, Toyota constructed an auto plant on part of the 1,500 acres of free land given to them in Georgetown, Kentucky. The auto plant was built by a Japanese steel company using Japanese steel. The U.S. government granted a "special trade zone" so that Toyota could import auto parts from Japan duty-free. Financing was handled by Mitsui Bank of Japan. Total federal and state grants and incentives exceeded $100 million. These subsidies, of course, were courtesy of your tax dollars.
Tennessee gave Nissan $11,000 per job for their Smyrna plant built in 1980. South Carolina coughed up $79,000 per job to convince Germany's BMW to build their plant in Spartanburg in 1992. Were you aware that our government was using your money to create jobs? Or are these merely job announcements where you and I foot the bill? Job announcements do make for great rhetoric for state governors' re-election campaigns. How many years will it take a factory worker in Alabama to pay back the $200,000+ in tax money that the government gave away? A conservative answer would be "several."
This is not to say that American companies are not granted incentives to build plants here. The most recent is $100 million in incentives for Cadillac to build their next plant in Michigan. It is my opinion that we should not be imitating the Third World by using public money to bid for jobs. But when given the choice between foreign investment (Toyota, Mercedes, Nissan) and American investment (General Motors and Ford), American investment is much better for America.
The deal Alabama gave Mercedes makes the deal Michigan gave GM seem rather frugal. The point here is that these huge incentives that are offered to foreign companies are rarely offered to our own companies here at home. Such incentives allow foreign companies to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars in costs per automobile. And American companies acquire more of their parts from domestic sources, so more jobs are created in the automotive parts industry in America.
America needs more American investment, not more foreign investment.

Billionaire David Einhorn's Dirt Cheap Stock Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Billionaire David Einhorn likes them cheap. Among his top stock picks for the third quarter of the year, reported in Greenlight Capital's 13F filing, are several companies that trade at single-digit earnings multiples. See the full list of stocks that Greenlight Capital reported owning. Obviously, these stocks are often cheap for a reason; whether because the market is sour on their industry or expects poorer performance at a particular company, it's unlikely that investors are just ignoring an obvious bargain. Still, we think that it can be productive to see what value stocks Einhorn likes as a kind of screen to catch a few companies worthy of further research. Here are Greenlight's five largest positions by market value in stocks with trailing and forward P/E multiples less than 10:
The largest position meeting this criteria was Greenlight's second largest 13F holding by market value overall: Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX). Seagate is a hard disk drive and data storage services company with a market capitalization of $10 billion. This valuation places it at four times trailing earnings and five times consensus estimates for the fiscal year ending in June 2014. The stock is trading this low (and has 9% of its shares outstanding held short) even though its revenue and earnings growth over the last year have been very strong and its dividend yield is above 4%. It looks like a buy to us.
General Motors (NYSE: GM) is another ultra-value pick, and we're less than two months removed from Einhorn's presentation at the Value Investing Congress where he named it as one of his two favorite long stock picks. Greenlight owned 21.6 million shares of the automaker at the end of September. GM carries trailing and forward P/Es of nine and seven, respectively, as the entire auto industry and related industries are seeing low multiples. The stock is also notable for making our list of the ten most popular stocks among hedge funds for the third quarter (see the full rankings). With GM's earnings down last quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011, we actually think we'd prefer to look at the company's peers.
Another auto-related company that Greenlight owned at the end of the third quarter was Delphi Automotive (NYSE: DLPH), which provides electrical and powertrain components. It trades at nine times trailing earnings, with modest earnings growth expected for 2013. The stock price is actually up over 70% in the last year, even though the financial performance has not been as good: Net income was essentially flat last quarter compared to Q3 2011, and sales were actually down. This does make it a more stable business than GM, however, and potentially a better buy. Billionaire John Paulson's Paulson & Co. owned 25 million shares of Delphi at the end of the quarter (find more stocks that billionaire John Paulson likes).
The fund reported owning about 26 million shares of Xerox (NYSE: XRX), and its low pricing (the trailing P/E is only seven) places that stock on this list of cheap Einhorn picks as well. The company is perhaps best known for its products, but also receives considerable business from services and solutions for enterprise customers. Net income was down 12% in Xerox's most recent quarter compared to the same period in the previous year, but given how low the multiples are the company does not need to see much growth to justify the current stock price.
At eight times earnings, on either a trailing or a forward basis, $14 billion market cap health insurer Aetna (NYSE: AET) is another value stock, and Greenlight increased its stake in the company by 39% (to a total of 4.4 million shares) during the third quarter of the year. Sell-side analysts project good earnings over the next several years, and the five-year PEG ratio is 0.9. Obviously there's considerable uncertainty as to how the government will regulate or otherwise interfere with health insurers, so the industry is something of a risk, but it's possible that Aetna or one of its peers could turn out to be a good value at their current prices.

John Fogerty has no concerts scheduled until a September 7 appearance at the inaugural Interlocken Festival in Arrington, Virginia, but you can catch him this evening on NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno . The former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman will be the musical guest on late-night program, which airs at 11:35 p.m. ET/10:35 p.m. CT.
No word yet what Fogerty will be singing, but we assume it'll be a tune from his recently released album, Wrote a Song for Everyone . The record features reworked versions of many of the 68-year-old rocker's well-known songs recorded alongside music stars from the worlds of classic rock, alternative, country and R&B.
In a recent interview with CMT Edge , John explained why he was interested in exploring a variety of musical genres on the album.
"I don't just listen to one radio station or just buy one type of record," he pointed out. "But I think that's really most people. I like all kinds of music as long as it's good music. I don't really relate to the idea of this is country and this is soul and this is blues and this is rock. To me, it's all just music."

MNPS Searching For Options To Close Deficit
by Aundrea Cline-Thomas
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Metro's traditional classrooms could absorb the brunt of the cuts, while charter schools could go unscathed as the district determines how to close a $23 million deficit projected for the 2014-2015 school year.
Tuesday, during the Budget and Finance Committee meeting, Dr. Jesse Register presented cost saving measures to the school board.
"When you're talking about making fairly significant reductions in expenditures there aren't many places to go besides staff," Register told the board.
He proposed closing Enhanced Option and/or under-utilized schools that are at less than 70 percent capacity. The list includes Rosebank, Inglewood and Robert E. Lillard elementary schools; Haynes, Gra-Mar, Isaac Litton, Jere Baxter, Bailey and McKissack middle schools and Whites Creek, Maplewood and Stratford high schools.
Another option is to increase class size from 7th through 12th grades in areas where smaller classes were designed to provide students with more individualized attention. Outsourcing services was also presented as another option to consider.
However, the board avoided addressing charter school growth, beyond providing perspective regarding the impending deficit.
"The next school it's projected to be the first time (charter schools will) consume every dime of new revenue and then some," Budget and Finance Committee Chairman Will Pinkston said. "…which leaves very little or nothing for our existing schools, students and teachers."
For weeks, the school board characterized its financial situation as a "tipping point," identifying charters as the catalyst to their angst. Then came a legal opinion from the district's lawyers that deemed the Tennessee Charter School law unconstitutional because of the financial burden it places on local districts.
Both were rebutted by charter school parents who protested at the central office. On Monday the Attorney General issued an opinion regarding the charter school law contrary to the district's lawyer's findings.
"The board has some difficult decisions ahead because it's not a fiscally sustainable or responsible path that we're on right now," Pinkston added.
Meanwhile, some City Council members want to issue a moratorium on new charter schools. Tuesday evening, a vote was deferred, but even if granted it would not be legally binding because outside of funding Council does not have any jurisdiction over the school system. But Pinkston says it could spur a necessary conversation.
"Certainly the voice of 40 leaders coming together saying let's have a common sense budget conversation. Let's not continue to feed one type of school and starve the rest of the system," he explained. "We want to continue to do high quality charters when available, when we can afford it but we have to be mindful of the fact that we have existing schools, existing students and teachers who still need our help and support."
The district is hoping to present the cost saving measure to City Council members, Mayor Karl Dean and House Speaker Rep. Beth Harwell (R-Nashville).

Deep thoughts from Eli Manning on how Hakeem Nicks' injury hampered the Giants' offense: "I think having Hakeem ...
... kind of banged up all year was tough," Manning said today during a promotional appearance for Gatorade at the Super Bowl Media Center. "He wasn't that same kind of dominant receiver, and that deep threat, get-down-the-field guy. It was tough on him. I loved his toughness. He wanted to be out there playing. He wanted to try to practice. But he couldn't quite do it. It had an effect on our offense. "I think it was just kind of hard to judge (deep passes to Nicks), get kind of a good feel for where he was, what his top speed was. He couldn't really practice. In practice he was going three-quarters speed. Some games he seemed to have that extra burst. Some games it didn't happen. I think it was just based on how he was feeling. So I think it was hard to get a sense of where to put the ball where you're not even thinking, you're just throwing it and it's coming out the right spot because you've been throwing it in practice all week, you're throwing it that way all season. With Hakeem it was just hard to kind of throw it and know exactly where he was going to be." #NYG

David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In 2013, all restaurants in the food industry expect rising input pressure. This has been driven largely by an increase in the price of corn, a major food ingredient. With that said, the economy is generally improving despite signs of unrest in Europe. How will the large burger chains perform in this environment? Below, I review two key stocks to speculate on.
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD)
Earlier this year, McDonald's guided for a global drop in restaurant sales for the month of January 2013. This forecast was a a result of reduced consumer spending related to macro uncertainty. The forecast ultimately proved accurate in defiance to broader stock market trends. As the global leader in the burger chain industry, McDonald's is seen as a macro bellwether.
In regard to external expectations, Wall Street has forecasted the company experiencing difficulties in early 2013 because of input pressure, rising competition, and increased frugality. Same restaurant sales remained flat globally throughout December, and this was attributed to the small 0.9% increase in same restaurant sales in the U.S. The increase in domestic sales is thought to have resulted not from strong fundamentals but rather from the warm weather that prevailed in December.
The firm has been facing stiff competition from other fast food restaurants, such as Burger King. To add insult to injury, regressive payroll tax hikes have decreased the spending ability of McDonald's target market. With that said, the firm has been successful in executing. In the recent fourth quarter, the company produced EPS that was $0.05 above the average forecast. Analysts are saying that in spite of the challenges that McDonald's is facing, it is successfully leveraging its enormous size to stabilize business.
Wendy's (NASDAQ: WEN)
While dwarfed by McDonald's, Wendy's is a leading fast food restaurant chain. The company reported that their business strategy continues to be focused on driving same store growth. Wendy's has also reported that they are committed to improving shareholder value by targeting growth in operating income and consolidated revenue. In particular, the strategy will be to make strategic acquisitions in the restaurant industry to drive growth (memo to Wendy's management: This is inorganic growth; not same store sales growth).
In regard to the outlook, it is important to note that the Midwest part of the US is coming out of a drought, and this will lead to a reduced quantity of corn and a subsequent increase in prices. Analysts think that big restaurant chains like McDonald's are better placed to withstand the effect of high prices compared to those like Wendy's. But although Wendy's has been facing some financial challenges before May 2012, it is now picking up the broken pieces and reported positive third quarter earnings in 2012. It reported revenue growth of 4.1% in the third quarter while same store sales grew by 2.7%. And market research through several independent surveys still ranks Wendy's as a "top overall mega chain" and ranked Wendy's at the top of the hamburger category. It is this kind of value that Wendy's is trying to communicate through its aggressive marketing strategy.
While McDonald's is a safe stock, it also trades at a premium 17.8x multiple because of that. Wendy's, which is moving into profitable territory, remains highly uncertain with a consensus rating of 2.9 out of 5 where "5" is a "sell." I encourage considering Yum Brands, which is the leading American fast food chain in China, for higher growth prospects. The stock trades at a respective 19.2x and 17.3x past and forward earnings. It is forecasted for 12.1% annual EPS growth over the next five years, which is around 300 bps below what was achieved in the past five years. And it's not nearly as risky as some will make out--the stock's volatility is 17% below that of the market.

I think both Sawyer and Juliet needed someone to believe that there was more to them than the sum of their past mistakes. They each needed someone who could look at all the terrible things they had done and still believe in the good that they possessed. Together, perhaps for the first time, they were allowed to believe in themselves and with that, find redemption and love.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- It made perfect sense that the 2014 World Cup final went into extra time and kept an electric crowd at Estadio Maracana and an estimated global TV audience of 1 billion on edge. This is the World Cup that didnt want to end. It has been too much fun. And it is in Brazil, after all, land of late-night dinners and all-night parties.
Why end the final game in 90 minutes? Why send all the visitors home and leave gracious host Brazil to deal with its unresolved social problems, its crumbling favelas and a broken-down, humiliated soccer team?
So, the two best teams in the tournament, Argentina and Germany, battered and exhausted, toiled on after regulation. The deciding goal a beauty finally came in the 113th minute, from substitute Mario Goetze, who used his chest to trap a perfect curling cross from Andre Schuerrle, dropped the ball to his left foot and volleyed it past Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
Argentina hadnt conceded a goal in more than 450 minutes, and this one would be the dagger.
Germany won its fourth championship, became the first European team to win a World Cup in the Americas, and ended a 24-year Cup drought.
Meanwhile, for the third World Cup in a row, stoic and beloved Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, a four-time World Player of the Year and highest-paid player on the planet, goes home without the one trophy that has eluded him. It is the one prize he so desperately craved. After the match, he was awarded a Golden Ball trophy for best player in the tournament, but the look on his face as he accepted it said it all. That was no consolation prize.
The Golden Ball doesnt mean anything to me at this moment, he told TV Publica and TyC Sports of Argentina. I only wanted to lift the Cup and take it to Argentina. Yes, the Golden Ball is an important trophy, but I couldnt enjoy it.
I think we were the superior team, that we deserved more. We didnt finish our chances even though we had situations to score.
Messi wanted to take a World Cup trophy home to the Argentine fans, almost 100,000 of whom flooded this city over the past 48 hours. They came in planes, cars, taxis, buses and campers. They serenaded the city into the wee hours from sidewalks, cafes and makeshift campgrounds at the sacred Brazilian SambaDromo, where samba was replaced by Tango.
The boisterous Argentines moved their party to Maracana on Sunday, chanting nonstop. Ole Ole Ola, Argentina Va Ganer! (Argentinas going to win) they sang. As the game wore on, the stadium video screen showed closeups of tense Argentine fans clutching rosary beads. After the game, they were wiping their tears, smearing their sky blue and white face paint.
Midfielder Javier Mascherano said: The pain is immense. We wanted to take the Cup back to Argentina once again. We are gutted. We gave what we could, and we are sorry for the people who came and for the people in Argentina.
The pain will be for life because this was our opportunity. We have to lift our heads and endure the pain.
The German fans were fewer in number, but overflowing with spirit, decked in red, yellow and black hats, wigs and capes. One held up a poster that read: We Wont Let Argentina Win in Your Home, a message to Brazilian fans.
And they didnt.
A massive fireworks show erupted over the historic stadium as the Argentine team trudged off the field, leaving the Germans to celebrate their historic victory with their supermodel girlfriends, wives and children. The Germans werent as expressive as some of the other teams in this tournament, but Sunday night they went wild, wiggling their hips and doing a line dance in front of their delirious fans.
Even stone-faced German coach Joachim Loew was smiling and pumping his fists, the weight of his nation lifted from his shoulders.
German captain Philipp Lahm said: What we have done and how we have worked is incredible. Whether we have the best individual players or whatever does not matter you have to have the best team. We stepped up time and again in the tournament, did not let ourselves get distracted by any disruption. And at the end you stand there as world champions an unbelievable feeling. The team has remained quiet and patient.
Said Manuel Neuer, who was voted the tournaments best goalkeeper: Its incredible. The team did it beautifully. At some point well stop celebrating, but well still wake up with a smile.
It had been gray and drizzling here since Tuesday, the day Brazils team a five-time champion and once the envy of the world was humiliated 7-1 by the Germans in the semifinals. But the sun came out Sunday just in time for the much-anticipated clash of continents.
The postcard-perfect weather, wide Copacabana beaches and iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, with its outstretched arms welcoming the world to this breathtaking city, made the perfect backdrop for the big game.
Estadio Maracana was the place to be Sunday, and seated among the crowd of 74,738 were Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff (who was booed mercilessly every time she was shown on the screen), German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pelé, LeBron James, Mick Jagger, Shakira, Rihanna, and David Beckham with his three sons, all the boys in Argentina jerseys.
There had been much hand-wringing about whether Brazil could handle an event of this size and magnitude. Its infrastructure was called into question, and there were fears of rioting, transportation snarls, crime and unfinished stadiums. The Brazilians proved the skeptics wrong, pulling off a tournament that ran smoothly and swept most of the nations 200 million residents into party mode.
Other than a few hundred protesters on the opening day and again on Sunday, demonstrations did not detract from the event. And there were plenty of police to keep the streets safe. On Sunday, more than 20,000 police and military patrolled the city, allowing fans to enjoy the game.
The final was loaded with subplots.
For Argentina, in addition to Messis personal quest, it was a chance to win its first World Cup in 28 years and to do it in the Brazilian soccer temple of Maracana in front of so many adoring Argentine fans would make it that much sweeter. Germany had knocked Argentina out of the quarterfinals of the past two World Cups, and the Argentines wanted revenge.
Germany had plenty to play for, too. It had advanced to 10 of the past 13 World Cup semifinals, including the past four, but had not won a title since 1990, when Jurgen Klinsmann now the U.S. coach was a star for Germany.
German defender Mats Hummels said: I am still completely trapped in another world, physically too exhausted to be able to rejoice euphorically. But that will come in the coming days.
It was clear from the opening whistle that there was a lot on the line. The game was extremely physical, with heads smashing, knees knocking and plenty of shirt-pulling. German player Bastian Schweinsteiger, looking like a heavyweight boxer, left the field briefly with a bloodied face. He returned a few minutes later. Argentinas Gonzalo Higuain took a nasty knee to the head/neck from leaping German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, but he, too, stayed in the game.
Nobody wanted to sit this one out.

China Minsheng Leasing Inks MoU for Gulfstreams
Gulfstream Aerospace confirmed yesterday that a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) for midsize and large-cabin Gulfstreams was inked late last week with China's Minsheng Financial Leasing. The Chinese aircraft leasing firm is a venture formed in April 2008 by China Minsheng Banking and Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone Investment. According to reports, the MoU covers up to 50 Gulfstreams–an unspecified mix of G250s, G450s, G550s and G650s–worth a potential $2.6 billion. Neither Gulfstream nor Minsheng would confirm the number of aircraft covered by the agreement, but spokesmen for the companies also did not contradict the widely reported figure. The MoUs are expected to be converted into firm orders over the next three to five years. Beijing-based Minsheng had placed orders for 17 business jets as of the end of last year, and has already taken delivery of at least one–a Gulfstream G450. The company is due to receive a further unspecified number of aircraft from Savannah, Ga.-based Gulfstream by the end of next year. Other types ordered so far are understood to include aircraft from Cessna, Dassault Falcon and Hawker Beechcraft. Minsheng has registered capital of RMB 2.3 billion ($480 million). According to the Firestone Management Group, there were 116 business jets registered in China (including Hong Kong and Macau) as of January this year. Minsheng president Zhang Bo told a conference in London earlier this year that he expects this number to reach 170 by year-end.
