Video: Songwriter sings his way through furloughs
Thursday - 8/1/2013, 4:33pm EDT
Special to Federal News Radio
Another federal employee is turning to music to cope with the stress of sequestration. Chris Dickson wrote his song, "Furlough You", in dedication to his furloughed friends.
"It's a hard situation to go through," Dickson said in an interview with Federal News Radio. "I just had twins. We had to get a van, two car seats, a stroller that has two seats, two cribs. I don't think I could have endured that 20 percent cut. And yet these people are doing that, so why not add a little bit of cheer or joy or humor or something?"
Story continues after video.
Dickson, a life-long government employee who works with military connected families, said he wrote his song as an ode to his fellow federal workers. While Dickson has not been furloughed himself, many of his coworkers are currently enduring one-day-per-week furloughs.
Dickson is an acoustic guitarist and avid fan of CeeLo Green. He based his "Furlough You" song on CeeLo's hit song, "Forget You." He said the song came to him as he was joking around in a studio one day with friends.
He said the term "furlough" has serious implications, similar to another well-known "f" word. Dickson said joking about the terms for budget cuts can help get employees to relax a little.
"I'd never heard of the word sequestration before," Dickson said. "I joke now to my coworkers. After I get a haircut, I'll be like, 'Yeah, I just got my hair sequestered.'"
Dickson is a father of three and lives in Northern Virginia. He says his next song may be a more uplifting rendition, titled "Pay Raise You."
John T. Martin III, a staff member in the Army Chief Information Office/G-6, has also written a song about sequestration. Titled "Furlough Fridays," the song is sung to the tune of "Monday, Monday" by The Mamas & the Papas.
Cogan Schneier is an intern for Federal News Radio.

Homemade Hand Scrub: Does it Work?By: Lauren Keith
Not only does winter time drop the occasional snowflake in the Heartland, but also the chafing winds that can chap our hands. So, can a homeade hand scrub truly exfoliate your dry skin? It's made from ingredients many of us already have in our kitchen. So, let's hope it works!
For this week's test, I head to the kitchen at the Cape Girardeau Senior Center. I know a group of hard-working women who spend a good part of their morning scrubbing pots and pans in hot, scalding water often containing bleach.
"It makes your hands very dry!" says cook Gennie Daughtry.
Both Gennie Daughtry and Ethel Stewart have dry skin visible on their hands. So, can something they can whip up in their own kitchen cure their problem? Let's see.
Here are the ingredients for our Homeade Hand Scrub.
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
1 cup Walnut or Sunflower Oil you find in the baking aisle of most local grocery stores.
1 pkg Slivered Almonds
First, you combine the lemon juice and honey in a large mixing bowl. Next, pour in the oil. I chose sunflower oil I found right in the baking aisle at Schnucks in Cape Girardeau.
Finally, toss in a whole pkg. of slivered almonds. Senior Center Director Susan McClanahan and I think the almonds will be the "exfoliating factor" in this home-ade scrub.
For the last step, we mix it all in a food processor for about 3 minutes.
"We're like a mad scientist," Susan laughs as we watch our liquid concoction turn to a thick paste.
Time to take this to our dishwashers, Gennie and Ethel.
"Almonds, really?" they both question. It is hard to believe there's almonds in this cream-colored scrub, but then when you feel it, you know the "gritty" texture should rub off any dry skin.
Really, this scrub looks like something you'd buy at a spa or store. And boy, it gets the attention of the ktichen staff. Several come over and start rubbing the mixture onto their hands. "Oh my goodness, yes!" says Ethel, rubbing her hands together.
It's getting rave reviews so far. After rubbing the scrub on for about 3 minutes, it's now time to rinse.
"Oooh! Look at your hand--look at her hand! Golly, they feel so much better!" says Gennie.
"Feel my hands!" says Ethel.
Sure enough, this homeade remedy did polish up some great results. Not only do our testers hands look better, they also feel much better. We're seeing some very smooth results here.
"It's great because you have the ingredients in your kitchen. You don't have to go looking for them all over town, and it's economical. I think it's great. I'd give it an A," says Susan.
Our testers agree. The staff says they're going to put this hand scrub in a pretty container and keep it on-hand. This recipe makes a lot of scrub, and with start-up costs of about ten dollars. Hands down, this home remedy scrubs up an A plus on this Does it Work test!

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A 2-year-old child has been critically injured in a hit & run accident in Bridgeport.
Police say the child's mother had just taken the 2-year-old from a car on Capitol Avenue and was standing next to the child when the toddler was struck by a passing car at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Police spokesman William Kaempffer says the mother was helping another child from the car at the time. Police say the 2-year-old suffered serious head trauma. Neither the mother nor the second child was injured.

Joleon Lescott
- Born: 16/08/1982
- Birthplace: Birmingham
- Nationality: English
- Apps/ Goals: 138 (5) / 17
Joleon Lescott signed for Everton in June 2006, joining from Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.
Lescott was born in Birmingham and progressed through the Centre of Excellence at Wolves, making his first-team debut when he was 18-years old.
He represented England at Under 18, 20 and 21 level, playing alongside Peter Clarke (then of Everton) at the heart of the defence in the 2002 Toulon Tournament.
During Wolves' successful promotion season of 2002-03, Lescott missed just one league game and played a pivotal role in the team's 3-0 play-off win against Sheffield United at the Millennium Stadium.
Sadly for the player he missed the entire Premiership campaign after having knee surgery and in his absence Wolves slipped out of the top-flight.
He soon returned to the side though and was a regular until his switch to Goodison, ending his Molineux career with 224 appearances and 13 goals to his name.
He was voted the Wolves Supporters' Player of the Year for 2005-06 and is the younger brother of Bristol Rovers defender Aaron Lescott.
An instant hit at Goodison, Lescott played in every match of the season, won the Players' Player of the Year accolade and was called up to the England 'B' international squad by Steve McClaren at the end of the campaign.
He was linked with clubs such as Real Madrid and Chelsea during the season, such was his impact in his first campaign in the Premiership. And that despite playing much of the season out of position at left-back rather than his preferred position in the centre of defence.
In October 2007, Joleon made his England debut against Estonia - coming on as a half-time substitute at Wembley.
The England international agreed a new contract in March 2008, which will keep him at Goodison Park until the summer of 2012.
Lescott's performances at both left back and centre half earned him the Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season awards, and a goal against Newcastle on the final day of the season meant he had finished with 10 for the season.
He continued this form in 2008/09, remaining part of the England squad and making a central defensive berth his own.
Whilst he didn't match the 2007/08 haul, Lescott still managed to bang in five goals.
In the summer of 2009, Manchester City launched a series of big money bids for the player, and he eventually switched to Eastlands after requesting a transfer.

In which Nasir is hired to kill Agron, but how do they expect him to shoot the man that he loves?

In the mean time, though, the people who hired Nasir have sent someone else to do the job and while he's out, Agron is badly injured.
And while Agron fights between life and death in the hospital, Nasir decides that he's going to kill the people who have done that.

Louisville Metro Hits 'Government E-Bay' For On-line Sale of Surplus Property, Vehicles
Wednesday March 17, 2004
Louisville Metro Government is putting surplus vehicles – and other property -- on the Information Superhighway, seeking a better return for taxpayers.
Mayor Jerry Abramson announced today that officials have begun auctioning off surplus property items on GovDeals.com, an on-line auction house based in Montgomery, Ala. that is similar to E-Bay.
"This is another example of how we're looking for creative ways to make our new merged government more efficient and effective for taxpayers," Abramson said. "If we continue the initial success we've had with GovDeals.com, I would anticipate that more and more of our surplus equipment and supplies will be sold on-line, rather than the traditional auction house."
People can go to the Louisville Metro Government website – www.loukymetro.org -- to find items for sale. Abramson said the on-line auction allows more people – from virtually anywhere in the world – to have access to surplus property items in Louisville. The traditional auction house or sale of surplus vehicles reaches a familiar cluster of interested buyers each time, lessening the opportunity for a more spirited bidding process.
For example, Abramson said a Mercedes Benz, which had been confiscated by Louisville Metro Police, recently sold on-line for more than $14,000 to a gentleman from Bristol, Tenn. The final sale price was about $3,000 more than its book value – the result, Abramson said, of an intense bidding process that drove the price up in the final moments before on-line auction closed.
Similarly, a Harley Davidson motorcycle – surplus police property no longer being used – was already up to more than $9,000 early this morning on the Louisville Metro Government website, Abramson said.
"We believe bringing more people into the process will help raise the price we receive for property and help us reduce warehouse space being used for surplus property more effectively and efficiently," Abramson said.

What causes low blood pressure? 39 possible conditions
Viewing 1 - 20 of 39 results
What Is Hypotension?
Hypotension is low blood pressure. Your blood pushes against your arteries with each heartbeat. The pushing of the blood against the artery walls is called blood pressure. Low blood pressure is good in most cases. Sometimes, however, low blood pressure can make you feel tired or dizzy. Hypotension can be a sign of an underlying condition that should be treated.
Blood pressure is measured both when your heart beats and in the periods of rest in between. The measurement of your blood pumping through your arteries is called systolic pressure. The measurement for the periods of rest is called diastolic pressure. Blood pressure is written with the systolic number above the diastolic number. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines hypotension as being 90/60 or lower (NIH, 2012).
What Causes Hypotension?
Everyone's blood pressure drops at one time or another, often without adverse reaction. Certain conditions can cause prolonged period of hypotension that can become dangerous if left untreated. These include:
- pregnancy (due to an increase in demand for blood from both mother and the growing fetus)
- large amounts of blood loss through injury
- impaired circulation caused by heart attacks or faulty heart valves
- weakness and a state of shock that sometimes accompany dehydration
- anaphylactic shock, a severe form of allergic reaction
- infections of the bloodstream
- endocrine disorders such as diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, and thyroid disease
Medications might also cause a drop in blood pressure. Beta-blockers and nitroglycerin, used to treat heart disease, are common culprits. Diuretics, tricyclic antidepressants, and erectile dysfunction drugs can also cause hypotension.
Some people have low blood pressure for unknown reasons. This form of hypotension, called chronic asymptomatic hypotension, usually does not cause harm.
Types of Hypotension
Hypotension is divided into several different classifications according to when your blood pressure drops.
Orthostatic hypotension is the drop in blood pressure that occurs when you transition from sitting or lying down to standing. It is common in people of all ages. This is what some people refer to as "seeing stars" when they get up. They are most likely experiencing a brief period of dizziness caused by orthostatic hypotension.
Postprandial hypotension is the drop of blood pressure occurring directly after eating. It is a type of orthostatic hypotension. Senior citizens, especially those with Parkinson's disease, are more likely to develop postprandial hypotension.
Neurally Mediated
Neurally mediated hypotension happens after you stand for a long time. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, children get this form of hypotension more often than adults (NHLBI, 2010). Emotionally upsetting events can also cause this drop in blood pressure.
Severe hypotension is related to shock. Shock occurs when your organs do not get the blood and oxygen they need to function properly. Severe hypotension can be life threatening if not treated promptly.
Hypotension Symptoms
People with hypotension may experience unpleasant symptoms when their blood pressure drops below 90/60. Symptoms of hypotension can include:
- fatigue
- lightheadedness
- dizziness
- nausea
- clammy skin
- depression
- loss of consciousness
- blurry vision
Symptoms can range in severity. Some people may be slightly uncomfortable, while others may feel quite ill. Notify your doctor if you are concerned about your symptoms and blood pressure levels.
Treatment for Hypotension
Your doctor will treat the underlying condition that causes your hypotension. This may include medications for heart disease, diabetes, or infection.
Drink plenty of water to avoid hypotension due to dehydration.
Treat orthostatic hypotension with slow, gradual movements. Instead of standing up quickly, work your way into a sitting or standing position using small movements. You can also avoid orthostatic hypotension by not crossing your legs when you sit.
Hydration can also help treat and prevent the symptoms of neurally mediated hypotension. If you suffer from low blood pressure when standing for long periods, be sure to take a break to sit down. Reduce your stress levels to avoid emotional trauma.
Shock-induced hypotension is the most serious form of the condition. Severe hypotension must be treated immediately. Emergency personnel will give you fluids and possibly blood products to increase your blood pressure and stabilize your vital signs.
Most people can manage and prevent hypotension effectively through medication and education. Learn your triggers and try to avoid them as best you can. Take medications as directed to increase your blood pressure and to avoid potentially harmful complications.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
my daughter is very happy at muscota. her reading and comprehension skills are very impressive, and she actually loves doing her math homework. the school isn't the most organized, but they do a lot to ensure the right teacher is paired with the right class. i definitely recommend this school if you're looking for k-5 in inwood or washington heights.
Parent of a second grader. We are very happy with the school and the community. Teachers, including art, dram and music teachers, have been very committed and do fantastic work with young children.
I am the proud parent of 2 Muscota kids, a 3rd grader and Kindergartener. My love for the school has grown each year. The teachers are some of the most committed individuals I have ever met and are truly committed to the social and emotional development of every child at the school. Our principal Camille Wallin, in her 2nd year at Muscota, has embraced our progressive philosophy and raised the bar for academic excellence. What makes the school really special is seeing the level of involvement of our families. Parents are encouraged and have the opportunity to contribute in meaningful ways to the school's daily life. Parents collaborate with teachers to augment classroom instruction, participate in hiring committees for new staff, and organize events like Eco-Fest and Mad Hatters Parade that embody the school philosophy. I hope that one day we can grow into a K-8 school!
I have been with Muscota for 6 years now (k-5 for my first child), and look forward to a few more years ahead for my second child. The consistent thing at Muscota has always been the dedication of the faculty. We had our concerns in the administrative changes over the years, but the teachers keep the progressive approach and the traditions alive. The individual incidents cited are definately anomolies, because the children are very caring and well behaved overall. Academically, my first child fared very well and achieved high scores on the tests that were looked at for middle school. Education at Muscota is based in the idea that there are myriad areas of importance to learning, and they include more than math, reading, and writing. Muscota kids are polite, well spoken, and well mannered as a rule (with few exceptions). Our children embrace good values, and see the common traits before the differences. I feel fortunate every day that our children are schooled here.
Do not believe all the great review of the school.The school is no good.No supervision.My daughter was bullyed and stab with a pencil and punched by three boys.There was a gas leak I could not find my daughter when I asked the principal where can I find my daughter he said he did not know. The kids do what they want.My five year old said to me mommy we don't learn anything.I also reported this to the district they are just as useless as the school. The main focus of the school is money nothing about education and their constant war with amistad.
There is such a sense of community and forward thinking here. All kids know they are equally important!
Muscota has gone through more than one change of leadership in the last two years, and somehow, it has managed to maintain its commitment to progressive education, its strong sense of community, and its cheerful, nurturing atmosphere in the classroom. Credit for this goes to the teachers and many devoted parents for maintaining traditions, nurturing the children's self-confidence, and providing a warm, welcoming environment. Children learn through hands-on activities, field trips, and an interdisciplinary approach, where drama and art support the curricula in English language arts and math. Families are welcomed into the classroom regularly. My child has blossomed at Muscota, growing his capacity for independent thinking and creativity. Just listen to the 5th graders answer questions on the parent tours. Their poise sums it up!
The children are so amazing. They are smart, beautiful and talented. Muscota provides the learning environment that makes the children shine.
As a parent of a 3rd grader at Muscota I have been very pleased with the high quality of education that my daughter has received. The teachers and staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and intuitive. My daughter is expected to not only learn the material presented by her teachers but also encouraged and supported in exploring and mastering areas that are of interest to her. I have found her level of understanding and ability to inquire is well beyond her years. I thank the schools' progressive philosophy for that. In a time where students are often simply seen as numbers on a data sheet, I am always amazed at everyone's knowledge of my child's individual learning abilities and of her personality traits. I have always found the staff and administration open and willing to discuss my child and her performance in school. Muscota is truly a community of learners.
As a parent at Muscota over the past four years I have watched it progress very nicely into a school where children are encouraged to 'find what they like to do' but are not challenged enough to do even that! Mediocrity would be a step up at this point. The Principal, Judy Menken, has brought down the quality of education to the point that teachers can't teach and children aren't learning! All of the teachers and parents are afraid of Ms. Menken. Muscota is more of a 'neighborhood school' then the neighborhood schools!
Don't believe the hype about Muscota. No one listens to the parents, but everyone pays lip service to the idea. My child's teacher has zero control in her classroom. This is somehow bizarrely celebrated as being a 'free' atmosphere. The children are allowed to roam around the classroom and get into arguments, there has been no homework assigned since the middle of May, and there was almost no test prep (and the scores show it). The teacher has never contacted me with positive information about my child. The test scores are in, but we don't have them. As an 'Empowerment' school, there is no one to complain to, or I would.

What is a miscarriage?
A miscarriage is any pregnancy that ends spontaneously before the fetus can survive. A miscarriage is medically referred to as a spontaneous abortion. The World Health Organization defines this unsurvivable state as an embryo or fetus weighing 500 grams or less, which typically corresponds to a fetal age (gestational age) of 20 to 22 weeks or less. Miscarriage occurs in about 8% to 20% of all recognized pregnancies, and usually occurs before the 13th week ofpregnancy. With the development of highly sensitive assays for hCG levels that can detect an early pregnancy even prior to the expected next period (menstruation), researchers have been able to show that around half of all pregnancies (recognized and unrecognized) are lost. Because the loss occurs so early, many miscarriages occur without the woman ever having known she was pregnant. Of those miscarriages that occur before the eighth week, a portion have no fetus associated with the sac or placenta. This condition is called blighted ovum, and many women are surprised to learn that there was never an embryo inside the sac.
Chances of miscarriage decrease significantly once fetal heart function is detected in a given pregnancy.
A woman who may be showing the signs of a possible miscarriage (such as vaginal bleeding) may have her pregnancy referred to as a "threatened abortion."
What causes a miscarriage, and what are the tests for the different causes?
Comment on this
The cause of a miscarriage cannot always be determined. The most common known causes of miscarriage in the first third of pregnancy (1st trimester) are chromosomal abnormalities, collagen vascular disease (such as lupus), diabetes, other hormonal problems, infection, and congenital (present at birth) abnormalities of the uterus. Chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus are the most common cause of early miscarriages, including blighted ovum (see above). Each of the causes will be described below.
Chromosomal abnormalities
Chromosomes are microscopic components of every cell in the body that carry all of the genetic material that determines hair color, eye color, and our overall appearance and makeup. These chromosomes duplicate themselves and divide many times during the process of development, and there are numerous points along the way where a problem can occur. Certain genetic abnormalities are known to be more prevalent in couples that experience repeated pregnancy losses. These genetic traits can be screened for by blood tests prior to trying to conceive.
Half of the fetal tissue from 1st trimester miscarriages contain abnormal chromosomes. This number drops to 24% with 2nd trimester miscarriages. In other words, abnormal chromosomes are more common with 1st trimester than with 2nd trimester miscarriages. First trimester miscarriages are so very common that unless they occur more than once, they are not considered "abnormal" per se. They do not prompt further evaluation unless they occur more than once. In contrast, 2nd trimester miscarriages are more unusual, and therefore may trigger evaluation even after a first occurrence. It is therefore clear that causes of miscarriages seem to vary according to trimester.
Chromosomal abnormalities also become more common with aging, and women over age 35 have a higher rate of miscarriage than younger women. Advancing maternal age is the most significant risk factor for early miscarriage in otherwise healthy women.
Collagen vascular diseases
Collagen vascular diseases are illnesses in which a person's own immune system attacks their own organs. These diseases can be potentially very serious, either during or between pregnancies. In these diseases, a woman makes antibodies to her own body's tissues. Examples of collagen vascular diseases associated with an increased risk of miscarriage are systemic lupus erythematosus, and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Blood tests can confirm the presence of abnormal antibodies and are used in the diagnose of these conditions.
Diabetes generally can be well managed during pregnancy, if a woman and her health care professional work closely together. However, if the diabetes is insufficiently controlled, not only is the risk of miscarriages higher, but the baby can have major birth defects. Other problems can also occur in relation to diabetes during pregnancy. Good control of blood sugars during pregnancy is very important.
Hormonal factors
Hormonal factors may be associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, including Cushing's Syndrome, thyroid disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It also has been suggested that inadequate function of the corpus luteum in the ovary (which produced progesterone necessary for maintenance of the very early stages of pregnancy) may lead to miscarriage. Termed "luteal phase defect," this is a controversial issue, since several studies have not supported the theory of luteal phase defect as a cause of pregnancy loss.
Maternal infection with a large number of different organisms has been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. Fetal or placental infection by the offending organism then leads to pregnancy loss. Examples of infections that have been associated with miscarriage include infections by Listeria monocytogenes, Toxoplasma gondii, parvovirus B19, rubella, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
Abnormal structural anatomy
Abnormal anatomy of the uterus can also cause miscarriages. In some women there can be a tissue bridge (uterine septum), that acts like a partial wall dividing the uterine cavity into sections. The septum usually has a very poor blood supply, and is not well suited for placental attachment and growth. Therefore, an embryo implanting on the septum would be at increased risk of miscarriage.
Other structural abnormalities can result from benign growths in the uterus called fibroids. Fibroid tumors (leiomyomata) are benign growths of muscle cells in the uterus. While most fibroid tumors do not cause miscarriages, (in fact, they are a rare cause ofinfertility), some can interfere with the embryo implantation and the embryo's blood supply, thereby causing miscarriage.
Other causes
Invasive surgical procedures in the uterus, such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, also slightly increase the risk of miscarriage.

As Foot Locker Falls, Are Shares Still Too Expensive?
RJ is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Athletic footwear retailer Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) announced fantastic fourth quarter results last Friday morning, finishing off a tepid 2012. Revenue jumped 14% year-over-year to $1.7 billion thanks to an extra selling week, which was slightly better than consensus estimates. Earnings per share, adjusted for one-time impairment charges, jumped 33% year-over-year to $0.73 per share, slightly above consensus estimates. This did, however, include a $0.09 benefit from the extra week during the quarter.
Same-store sales, one of my favorite metrics to measure the performance of retailers, were fantastic, growing 7.9% year-over-year. The winter quarter is notoriously strong as several of the company's partners, including Nike (NYSE: NKE) and Adidas, release extremely popular basketball models, and this winter was no different. Nike's Jordan Brand in particular had a strong release slate, and the new leadership of the Jordan Brand has pushed for a stronger cadence of releases than we've seen in prior years. This could boost Nike's North American results, but China remains a huge question mark. During Nike's second quarter, in a stark departure from the rest of the company, China was a complete disaster, in my view. Sales of footwear dipped 9% compared to the prior year, apparel sales fell 17%, and total sales fell 12%. Broader economic headwinds remain prevalent, but management took responsibility for the drop in sales. CEO Mark Parker mentioned a change in fit geared toward the Chinese consumer has started to hit the market. Management also indicated that the company will focus on clearing inventory and maintaining brand positioning, which resulted in a futures decline of 7% (excluding currency) during the period.
On the profit side, the gross margin was 100 basis points higher at 32.9%, driven in large part by lower markdowns, and also benefiting from superior IMUs (initial mark-ups). We're also seeing a much higher degree of rational pricing from competitors like The Finish Line (NASDAQ: FINL) and the direct-to-consumer businesses of both Nike and Adidas. We're seeing the companies become much more selective with regards to taking markdowns, which in turn has made the consumer less willing to wait—especially if a shoe is in high demand. We believe inventory management is also much more superior, allowing the Foot Locker to meet demand instead of having too much supply. SG&A was down 40 basis points as a percentage of sales to 21.2%, but the firm had the added benefit of the extra selling week, which accounted for 20 basis points of leverage. I see only modest SG&A leveraging going forward, as the company has done a wonderful job of controlling costs.
Speaking of Finish Line, we actually think its relative value looks solid (shown below).
The problem with Finish Line has been execution. During its most recent quarter, the firm decided to switch e-commerce platforms on Cyber Monday, which was an unmitigated disaster. Still, its parternship with Macy's could add $0.30-$0.35 per share in earnings, while driving incremental cash flow.
Although Foot Locker, FootAction, Champs, and Eastbay are all performing well, Lady Foot Locker posted flat same-store sales growth. The company is working to figure out what to do to stabilize the business, but we think it the women's athletic footwear market is much more difficult to navigate. Unlike men's, which can rely on selling limited LeBron James or Michael Jordan models, Lady Foot Locker has to compete with Nordstrom, Finish Line, and direct-to-consumer distribution from Nike and Adidas. Women's purchasing motives are a bit different, and frankly, there's little reason for women to go to Lady Foot Locker compared to other businesses.
On the capital allocation front, Foot Locker boosted its quarterly dividend 11% to $0.20 per share—an annual yield of 2.4% at current levels. Management also boosted the share repurchase program to $600 million, so we believe earnings per share growth will look fairly strong in 2013, even if sales growth isn't as robust. The company also plans to spend $220 million on capital expenditures, up from $163 million this year and above the firm's target of $160 million average over the next five years. Free cash flow for the year was $253 million, so I'm a little disappointed to see a sharp increase in capital spending in 2013. However, the company plans to spend a significant amount on technology investments, which could help boost EBIT margins.
Going forward, the firm anticipates low-single digits same-store sales growth, and business has been a bit turbulent year-to-date. We believe the payroll tax, but mostly the slow cadence of tax refunds, can be blamed, and I think Nike and—for the first time in ages—Reebok have strong premium product releases planned for 2013, so I think Foot Locker's business will be absolutely fine this year. However, basketball shoes are quite popular as a fashion trend, so if/when the trend subsides, Foot Locker will be the first company to feel the pain. Nevertheless, shares look fairly valued at this time, so I'm not interested in adding a position to the portfolio of Valuentum's Best Ideas Newsletter.

Irmscher is among the first automakers to start preparations for the convertible season. The new Roadster Turbo Sport 45 has been built to pay tribute to the company's 45th anniversary and will be limited to only 7 units.
The model features an aluminum-plastic body and has been developed on a solid steel tubular lattice frame. Under the hood, the model receives a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot that delivers a total of 265 horsepower and a peak torque of 295 pound-feet. With a total weight of just 1,598 pounds, the new Sport 45 will run from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds.
The model is equipped with a waterproof soft top, five-star Revo rims and for the interior, high-quality leather offered in a color that matches the exterior look. A special "Sport 45" logo on the dashboard and a certificate both confirm that you are indeed driving a unique model.
We may be imagining things here, but this sure does look a lot like a tuned up Caterham 7 Roadsport or Superlight...

So there's a "RoboCop" remake. That's something I have to tell my unborn children as well as my unknown bastards. It's also about to clear 150 million on a 100 million dollar budget. Though only 50 of them bones is domestic it's still not out of the realm of possibility I'll have to tell those tiny bearded boys and girls there's a "Robocop 2" too. (As in 'also', not 2x2 which would be weird but not impossible.
A woman carefully navigates a torrential downpour as she pulls into the kind of hardware store in a kind of town where everyone has known everyone for most of their lives. It's also the kind of hardware store that specializes in game meat processing for extra flavor. She procures a flashlight, a length of rope, a metal pipe and other materials that would perhaps raise a few eyebrows should this kindly appearing woman be a grizzly transient. But the woman doesn't appear well. Her hands shake and raspy, blood-splattering coughs rattle from her throat.
2012's "Come Out And Play" is one of those movies where about halfway through you think to yourself, "wait, I've seen this movie before, haven't I?" Yeah, you probably have. So much of it is familiar, this movie about children who have gone crazy and slaughtered all the adults in their village.
"Maniac,"starring Elijah Wood as the maniac killer, is a remake of a 1980 slasher of the same name, and while the recent trend of pointless and half-assed remakes has turned many horror fans off of remakes altogether, I think this is the kind of movie that shows exactly the type of potential that remakes have by showcasing a level of care and craftsmanship that is rare for a horror film, let alone a horror film remake.
As with many of its 70's horror franchise contemporaries, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has become a series whose present continues to lose connection with its past, even as new entries stumble over themselves to pay homage to their roots. In 1974, Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel captured lightning in a bottle with a chaotic, nasty film about a family of cannibals living deep in the heart of Texas.
In what is being described as a loose remake of the 1984 horror classic "Silent Night, Deadly Night", director Steven C. Miller brings us "Silent Night", starring Malcolm McDowell, Jaime King, Donal Logue, and Jamie Kennedy. If you're unfamiliar with the storyline, the film takes place around a small towns annual Santa Parade, which has brought record numbers of the jolly fat man to town.
Though it feels like it's been much longer, audiences have been subjected to marketing campaigns built around the concept of 3D-as-experience since at least 2009. Which is why it was both refreshing and a bit surprising when trailers began to roll out for "Silent House" built not around that now-tired theater gimmick but instead around the concept of "real-time horror." Commercials and materials have been up-front about the fact that the film is presented in one, uncut take.
It's Friday folks and let's take a little time to plan out our weekend. The Mrs. and I will be venturing to Hershey park with our 5 month old so we can put her on the lap of some stranger who smells like peach Schnapps and Old Spice simply because he's dressed up like Santa. It's the memories that will last a lifetime, the tetanus will only be around for a few months.
What are you doing April 12th, 2013? Washing your hair?! How can you possibly have plans already? Well you might want to cancel them because that's the date you'll finally get a chance to see the "Evil Dead" remake in theaters. And in turn that's the date you'll finally get a chance to lose your shit over the "Evil Dead" remake because you think it's a pile of garbage and the original is sacred and girls didn't talk to you in High School and now that your acne has cleared up they should probably give you a chance. All of those things will happen.
Alexandre Aja, the fella who directed the "Piranha" and "The Hills Have Eyes" remakes has officially been tapped to directed the upcoming big screen adaptation of Joe Hill's "Horns". The books tells the tale of a man who awakes one morning after a night of hard drinking to find he's sprouting horns out of his head. Then a bunch of other stuff happens, like he finds out who killed his girlfriend and stuff. There's some snakes too. The point is I read the book and I want people to know I'm literate.
Horror hot pocket Neil Marshal (I don't know what that means) is being eyed by the good people at CBS Films for their upcoming film titled "Hellfest". The film is about a Halloween themed park where one of the workers is actually going around killing people. This all sounds pretty awesome to me. The director, the story... the killing... well alright the killing part isn't awesome. Ya know, in real life and all. In the movie it's probably going to be cool. And I love roller coasters.
The trailer for "Battleship", a movie about the classic board game, hit a couple months back and looked like one of the most ridiculous things to ever be put on film. But reasoning be damned because Peter Berg is already talking about a sequel. And why shouldn't he. They've made three of those "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movies already and two "Garfield" movies. Alright to be 100% honest I watched the first Chipmunks movie over Thanksgiving break and it was delightful. They're so tiny and adorable.
A Virginia Beach man is under arrest after he apparently offered women college scholarships in exchange for allowing him to spank them. I'm not sure how these things works but I'm pretty sure if you set up a scholarship you're allowed to make whatever rules you want but maybe I'm wrong. The fact that it was called the Henry Allen Fitzsimmons Scholarship For Naughty Naughty Girls Who Need To Be Punished, or HAFSFNNGWNTB probably should have been a tip off too.
Meth Labs are illegal, no matter where you set them up, but you got to give this women in Tulsa credit for setting up shop inside a Walmart. I mean with their rock bottom prices and wide isles it really is the perfect location. Watch for falling prices!
The BGH crew debates the finer points of evolutionary biomechanics...
When the trailer first dropped for "The Thing" remake -- ahem, prequel -- the standard remake reaction of, "My God!" instead was replaced with something more like a "Hmmmm..." Though it was clear that director Matthijs van Heijningen relied heavily on Carpenter's film, itself a remake, for inspiration, there appeared to be enough juice left in this concept to support a full fledged predecessor to the 1982 classic. Now, with Heijningen's film opened, it's safe to say that those with initial hesitations should feel at least partially justified.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Center fOr Writing and Speaking (COWS)
Make an appointment today! Click below:
The Center for Writing and Speaking (COWS) has moved. We are now in Olin East E 132. We will open for consulatations starting on Monday September 8th!
NEW - click to see our spring 2014 newsletter!
Our Mission
The staff of the Center for Writing and Speaking is committed to working closely with students in order to meet their writing goals. Our aim is to provide students with a safe and receptive space in which to write, and with the tools they need to approach academic writing with confidence and zeal.
When can I visit the COWS?
The COWS is open during popular study hours:
|7 pm to Midnight
|7 pm to Midnight
|7 pm to Midnight
|7 pm to Midnight
|3 pm to 5 pm
|2 pm to 5 pm & 7 pm to Midnight
Who are we?
We are a group of Whitman Students with plenty of experience writing college papers across disciplines. Want to know more? Visit our staff page!
Where is the COWS?
The COWS is located in Olin East, on the North side: Olin East E 132.
Who is the COWS for?
You! More specifically: anyone with questions about writing, with a writing assignment to work on, who wants a place to study, who wants to talk about words and language, who wants to play a word game, who is freaking out about a huge research paper and simply needs some comfort or solidarity, who has a burning question about grammar, who...
What is the best way for me to make use of the COWS?
(Skip to bottom for TL;DR)
Here is the ideal situation: you're scanning your syllabus when you notice a big paper due in a couple weeks. Knowing you'll do well to get a head start on the assignment, you immediately go to http://mywco.com/whitman and make a one-hour appointment with a tutor who is majoring in a relevant subject. Leading up to the appointment, you think about what you want to focus on in your paper, and you jot down some ideas. Maybe you try writing a body paragraph or two. Maybe you sit down at the computer and draw a total blank. Either way, you come into the COWS still at the beginning of your process. Your talented and friendly tutor talks with you about the assignment, asks you questions about your ideas, helping you drive them further, and gently steers you in some helpful directions. Over the course of an hour, you find yourself gaining clarity on the task at hand. You leave feeling much more confident than when you arrived.
You work on the paper a bit. You find that your ideas are good, but you're having trouble figuring out how to put them all together. You've started a draft, but are having trouble finishing it. So you make another hour-long appointment, perhaps with that same tutor you liked so much, or maybe with a different tutor for a fresh perspective. You show up ready to work. The tutor gives you some techniques for structuring your essay effectively. She or he affirms that your ideas are really great, and that a lot of what you already have is wonderful stuff--plenty of raw material to work with. Over the course of an hour, you see your paper taking shape.
You leave fired up. Time to write! Time to tackle this big assignment! You've had two weeks to think about it; you've received helpful guidance, but the ideas, the work, is all still your own. You're feeling confident and proud. After a couple not-too-stressful nights in the library, you've got your beautiful draft in your hand. You recall a couple of proofreading techniques one of your tutors told you about, and you put them into practice. Or, you have a friend look over your paper for errors, in exchange for a candy bar. You walk into class the next day, drop that paper on your professor's desk, and sit down at your desk with a smile, feeling proud and happy. No matter what grade you get, you know you've done good work, and you've used the COWS to its full potential. And next time around, you'll feel readier than ever!
(TL;DR - come early, come often, come at any point in the process, make hour-long appointments)
What kind of help can I expect?
We are not a proofreading service. We are a group of highly motivated tutors who are students ourselves, and who understand the stresses of college writing. We will help you form and develop your ideas, work with the organization of your essay, and identify recurring problems. We'll offer strategies for proofreading your own papers, writing strong introductions and dazzling conclusions, and keeping a positive attitude throughout.
What should I bring?
We strongly recommend that you bring in the assignment you are working on, so tutors can see the professor's specific language. Other than that, bring what you've written so far, whether it's electronic or on paper. Most of all, bring an optimistic attitude! That will help tremendously in taking on the task at hand.
The COWS is well stocked with notepads, pens, glue sticks, sticky notes, coffee and tea, and other supplies. We also have our own computers and printers.
What other resources are available to me?
For some helpful tips and online resources, check out our COWS blog! It's here: whitmanwriting.wordpress.com

Phantasy Star Online 2 Heads West In 2013
Posted on Monday, July 9 @ 16:16:42 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
SEGA announced today that Phantasy Star Online 2, a free-to-play rebirth of the now classic Dreamcast MMO, will be headed west next year. The game is currently in beta in Japan and has been well-received, despite the to-be-expected bugs and pre-launch issues.
In the press release, SEGA VP of Digital Business Chris Olson said:
If you're really antsy and impatient, you can actually log on to the Japanese PSO2 experience right now. You'll just have to wade through a lot of foreign text and some impatient Japanese gamers.

Apple may have a big winner on its hand with Thursday's announcement.
Only two weeks after Apple announced it was getting into digital textbook publishing, the Obama administration is urging schools and companies to put digital textbooks in students' hands within the next five years. So is this simply serendipity or is there a little something between the White House and Apple?

My New Year's resolutions list starts like this, "This year I will definitely fail at the following ..." So this year I did not make any resolutions. I figured, if I don't make them, I can't fail at keeping them. Problem solved!
It turns out that not trying something for fear of failing just expedites the process of feeling like a loser. This got me thinking about strategies to turn the yearly lose-lose resolutions into win-wins.
The first thing that needs to be done is clean house. This is a metaphor; I hate cleaning, which is why I still have a fully furnished hedgehog home in my basement when the rodent died eight years ago. What I mean is, get rid of those old resolutions you vow to keep each year but never do or are no longer meaningful. If you resolve to lose 10 pounds year after year and never make it, forget it and embrace your fluffy self. Concentrate on goals — and that's what resolutions are — that you are serious about, and go for it in a way that will help you be successful.
For three weeks after the new year, I can't get a parking space at my gym. Working out is such a popular resolution, but so many people throw in their sweaty towel after only a few weeks. Why? What they most likely do is decide they are going to the gym every day for an hour or two and can't keep it up, so they miss a day, then two, then a week ... and voila, I have a prime parking space again.
A much more realistic goal is to decide on three days a week, pick specific days and times based on your schedule, and then pick an enjoyable activity to keep you motivated. If you hate to run, don't do the treadmill or you will spend your whole day dreading your workout. Find some friends who may have the same goal and make plans to meet at the gym. People who have a good plan and a good support system in place are much more likely to meet their goals.
Right after winter break, when my students go back to school, we do goal setting for the second semester. Most of them have the tendency to set goals they likely will not attain such as straight A's, maximum honors, begin studying for tests three weeks in advance, etc.
Although it's good to have high aspirations, diving into the deep end of the pool on your first try isn't the way to achieve them. I encourage my students to set reachable goals. So, if a student currently has a D in physics, the goal for the next quarter should be to raise it to a C, not an A, not yet anyway. Small successes boost confidence and lead to bigger successes. Once the goal is set, we can put together a plan of action.
There is an easy step-by-step goal-setting procedure which I use with my students, but can be applied to anything in life that you may want to accomplish. I will address it next week and help get you on your way to winning the resolution game.

I was born in 1968, one year and 364 days after Jeff Buckley, and I feel as though our memories collide in the strange brew of sound and images that came leaping off the vinyl and jumping off the screen in the 1970s: Al Green and the Eagles. Big Bird and Laugh-In. The Jackson Five and David Bowie. Free to be You and Me and Morgan Freeman on The Electric Company. Elton John and the Spinners. Carol Burnett tugging her ear and Diana Ross all decked out in mink at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Froot loops and land sharks. Pam Grier and Diane Keaton. Jackson Browne and Thelma Houston. Earth, Wind, and Fire and the Fonz. Sammy Davis Jr. and Jose Feliciano. Stevie Nicks and Stevie Wonder. President Nixon and Fat Albert. Jimmy Carter and Chic. Schoolhouse Rock and Parliament Funkadelic. The Mod Squad and the Sunshine Band. Kasey Kasem and the Sweat Hogs. Linda Rondstadt and Jerry Brown. Jim Jones and Chico and the Man. The Jerry Lewis telethon and Steve Martin on SNL. Spielberg matinees and Quadrophenia midnight runs. Rocky Horror and The Wiz. Sweet, Sweetback and Sybl.This is me. I was born in 1969. Perhaps this is why Brooks and I--two black women--are both captivated by self-proclaimed "mystery white boy" Jeff Buckley.
This week, my iPod has been churning out a strange brew of memorial music. Michael Jackson's death has me digging into my catalog of Jackson 5 hits and MJ chart toppers. And as the music flows..."Got To Be There"..."Maybe Tomorrow"..."I Can't Help It"..."Thriller"..."Human Nature"..."You Rock My World"...I'm remembering how much of my life soundtrack includes Michael. And how much this artist that I largely dismissed after "Thriller" is entwined with my life story. Like Michael, I am from Gary, Indiana. I went to Roosevelt High School, just like the older Jacksons. (Some friends even once found Jermaine or Jackie's name in an old book.) I have seen 2300 Jackson St. many times--just another little steeltown bungalow. The first concert I ever attended? The Jackson 5. My grandparents took me. I was all of 3 or 4. Pretty much all I remember was the screaming and Janet Jackson's Mae West schtick. I am appreciating Michael because his music is woven all through my soundtrack.
I appreciate Jeff Buckley because I imagine he is, like me, a product of the influences Brooks described. I bet Jeff and I would recognize each other's soundtrack. (In her book, Brooks says Buckley learned to mimic Michael jackson's singing voice--among others--in high school.) Like Jackson's music, Buckley's music has been constant background for my working and driving and exercising this week. I go from "Off The Wall" to "Grace" to "Thriller" to "Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk" and around again. "Grace," a perfect album containing the most perfect song ever performed, "Hallelujah," is a Gen X album for sure--a cornucopia of influences. One minute Buckley is singing an aria ("Corpus Christie Carol") and the next he is wailing like Robert Plant ("Eternal Life"). (The artist once said he was the love child of Nina Simone and Led Zeppelin.) And that amazing, multi-octave voice! From Wiki:
In 2004, Jeff Buckley's version was ranked #259 on Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". In September 2007, a poll of fifty songwriters conducted by Q Magazine listed "Hallelujah" among the all-time "Top 10 Greatest Tracks" with John Legend calling Buckley's version "as near perfect as you can get".Jeff Buckley's performance of "Hallelujah" may be my favorite song of all time. The song was originally sung by folkie Leonard Cohen, but like Luther Vandross did with myriad songs, Buckley took it, "put his stank on it" and now he owns it. Several artists that I admire have covered "Hallelujah"--k.d. lang, Brandi Carlile--and their efforts are nice. I even have a "Hallelujah" playlist on my iPod. But no one captures the beauty and the raw pain of love like Buckley does in his version. Hear it. (You Tube will not allow embedding, but please follow the link. It is well worth it.)
I also appreciate the bluesy "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" from "Grace."
"...all my blood for a kiss upon her shoulder." Beautiful. Poetic. Jeff Buckley can make you cry like no one else.
This week, I downloaded Buckley's second album, "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk," and discovered "Everybody Here Wants You." Here is Buckley the chameleon--not operatic or rock and roll, but soulful, laying back in the cut of a groove. Again, follow the link to hear it.
Of course, by the time "Sketches for my Sweetheart..." (his second album) was released, Jeff Buckley was gone:
On the evening of May 29, 1997, Buckley's band flew in intending to join him in his Memphis studio to work on the newly written material. That same evening, Buckley went swimming in Wolf River Harbor,[94] a slackwater channel of the Mississippi River, while wearing boots, all of his clothing, and singing the chorus of the song "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin.[95] A roadie of Buckley's band, Keith Foti, remained ashore. After moving the radio and a guitar out of reach of the wake from a passing tugboat, Foti looked up to see that Buckley was gone. Despite a determined rescue effort that night, Buckley remained missing. On June 4, his body was spotted by a tourist on a riverboat and was brought ashore.[95]Sometimes, I hear a song after being apart from it for a time and I fall in love with it again like one might an old paramour. I remember the rhythms and choruses and breakdowns that first won me over, and I remember where I was in my life when the particular song was playing. I'm re-discovering the work of Michael Jackson and Jeff Buckley this week--pop and pathos (How GenX of me.). Both men exited this mortal coil way too soon, but they live on in the soundtrack to my life.
The autopsy to clarify the cause of Buckley's death confirmed Buckley had taken no illegal drugs before his swim and a drug overdose was therefore ruled out as cause of death.[96] In order to clarify the situation of his death, this statement was released from the Buckley estate:
Jeff Buckley's death was not "mysterious," related to drugs, alcohol, or suicide. We have a police report, a medical examiner's report, and an eye witness to prove that it was an accidental drowning, and that Mr. Buckley was in a good frame of mind prior to the accident.[97]
