Midday movers: McDonald's, Wendy's, Arena Pharma
Stocks falter amid renewed worries about Greece and its potential exit from the eurozone.
McDonald's (MCD) reported weaker than expected same-store sales growth, saying its global 3.3% increase was comprised of U.S. sales up 3.3%, European sale up 3.5%, and Asia/Pacific, Middle East, and Africa sales up 1.1%. Rival Wendy's (WEN) reported earnings that missed expectations, saying its profit margin was hurt by higher commodity costs, especially fresh beef.
Both fast food companies traded lower on their news, with McDonald's shares sliding almost 2% and Wendy's falling over 5%.
Among other companies reporting earnings, advancers included Generac (GNRC), Vitamin Shoppe (VSI) and OfficeMax (OMX); decliners included Dendreon (DNDN), Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) and Rackspace (RAX).
Among the notable market gainers were GTx (GTXI), up 16%, after reporting that the FDA removed its clinical hold on the company's investigational new drug application for Capesaris, and Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA), up nearly 16% as well, two days ahead of an FDA Advisory Committee meeting to discuss its weight-loss drug, locaserin.
Noteworthy losers included Mako Surgical (MAKO), down 35%, following its weaker than expected Q1 results and lowered full-year RIO system sales guidance, and Fossil's (FOSL), down over 37%, after the company expressed caution about the European economy and reduced its 2012 earnings guidance following Q1 results that disappointed.

Archaeal Digoxin and Creation of Cellular Plasma State - Molecular/Cellular Electromagnetic Signal Transduction
Objective: Endogenous digoxin can produce sodium potassium ATPase inhibition, a paroxysmal depolarisation shift and a quantal pumped phonon system. It can generate electromagnetic signals of cells and molecules which can be transferred. The study was designed to test the hypothesis. Methods: System I: Phosphate buffered saline (PBS)+ cholesterol substrate + plasma + rutile (0.1 mg/ml)+digoxin (0.5 ng/ml). System II: Control phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The system is incubated at 37oC for 1 hour and during the period of incubation both system I and II are kept close to each other. Then to control PBS add cholesterol substrate and incubate both the systems at 37oC for 16-18 hours. Cytochrome F420 was estimated flourimetrically (excitation wavelength 420 nm and emission wavelength 520 nm). The detection of cytochrome F420 indicates the presence of archaea. The fluorescence of cytochrome F420 was estimated at 0 time, after 1 hour and 16-18 hours in the system I and II. The experiment was repeated 7 times and average values given.Results: The test system I after 16-18 hours of incubation showed decrease in intensity of fluorescence due to destruction of archaea by long incubation consequent to exhaustion of substrate as well as digoxin induced cell destruction. There was a 21% increase in fluroscence in system II of PBS with added cholesterol substrate after 16-18 hours of incubation. Conclusion: The experiment indicates that in the presence of digoxin induced quantal pumped phonon system the electromagnetic trace of archaea can be generated and can be transmitted to the PBS+cholesterol substrate system resulting in generation of archaea/cytochrome F420 in the system.
Key words: Digoxin; Quantal state; EMF signal; Teleportation; Cytochrome F420

Atleti's Adventure Ends - AFR Voice Ep. 42
And… breathe out. The whole world was treated to an exhausting but fascinating Champions League final at the weekend. The praise, press and acclaim has inevitably swamped victors Real Madrid, but what about Atletico? With their amazing adventure finally hitting the buffers, the La Liga winners find themselves at a cross-roads. AFR and Bleacher Report writer Anthony Lopopolo joins us to examine why Atletico fell just short and help identify the major obstacles to another year of unprecedented Simeone-fuelled success.
Anthony also provides analysis on the shocking news that new all-time leading MLS goalscorer Landon Donovan has been left out of the USMNT's trimmed-down roster. Is there any method in Klinsmann's apparent madness?

Children's Health
Diaper Rash
Diaper Rash Overview
Diaper rash appears on the skin under a diaper. Diaper rash typically occurs in infants and children younger than 2 years, but the rash can also be seen in people who are incontinent or paralyzed.
Almost every baby will get diaper rash at least once during the first 3 years of life, with the majority of these babies 9-12 months old. This is the time when the baby is still sitting most of the time and is also eating solid foods, which may change the acidity of the bowel movements.
Diaper Rash Causes
- Friction: Most diaper rash is caused by friction that develops when sensitive baby skin is rubbed by wet diapers. This results in a red, shiny rash on exposed areas.
- Irritation: The skin under the diaper gets red from irritants such as feces, urine, or cleaning agents. Irritation can be caused by the diaper or by the acid in urine and bowel movements. This rash appears red in the area where the diaper has rubbed and is normally not seen in the folds of the skin.
- Candidal infection: The rash of a candidal infection, also known as fungal or yeast infection, usually has a bright, beefy red appearance and is very common after the use of antibiotics. Candida is a fungal microorganism that is typically found in warm, moist places such as in the mouth. In fact, Candida is the same organism that causes thrush.
- Allergic reaction: The rash may be a reaction to diaper wipes, diapers, laundry detergent, soap, lotion, or the elastic in plastic pants.
- Seborrhea: This is an oily, yellow-colored rash that may also be seen in other areas of the body, such as the face, head, and neck.
Diaper Rash Symptoms
Identifying a diaper rash is usually fairly easy. The rash is located on skin underneath the diaper area.
The skin is red and irritated. It may appear all over your baby's bottom or genital area, or only in certain places. It may or may not involve the folds of the skin.
When to Seek Medical Care
It is usually not necessary to call the doctor for a simple diaper rash. Keeping the diaper area clean and dry should prevent most diaper rashes. However, even the best prevention is sometimes not enough.
- Call your doctor if these conditions develop:
- The rash does not get better despite treatment in 4-7 days.
- The rash is getting significantly worse or has spread to other parts of the body.
- The rash appears also to have a bacterial infection, with symptoms such as a puslike drainage or yellowish colored crusting. This is called impetigo and needs to be treated with antibiotics.
- You are not certain what may be causing the rash.
- You suspect the rash could be from an allergy. The doctor can help you pinpoint the possible allergen.
- The rash is accompanied by diarrhea continuing for more than 48 hours.
- The rash does not get better despite treatment in 4-7 days.
It is very rare to need to go to the hospital for diaper rash. However, should your child appear to be in severe pain, or if you notice rapid spread of the rash with fever, you should seek medical attention.

Get The Facts:
Four Reasons Why You Should NEVER Attend a Circus that Uses Animals
1. The Care and Treatment of Animals in Circuses Is Shameful
The tricks that animals are forced to perform, night after night, are frightening, unnatural, and even painful. Standard circus industry practice is to use bull hooks and other objects to poke, prod, strike, shock, and hit animals in order to "train" them — although this may not be what's seen in the ring or in carefully-controlled public tours.
Circus representatives often claim that animals are only trained to do the types of tricks that they might naturally perform in their native habitat. But common sense dictates that elephants in the wild don't eagerly stand on their heads and that tigers don't naturally jump through hoops.
Animals in circuses spend about 11 months of the year traveling. For thousands of hours, over long distances, they may be chained while not performing, transported in vehicles that lack climate control, and forced to stand or lie in their own waste.
In the wild, elephants live in large, sociable herds and walk up to 25 miles every day. Most other wild animals found in circus settings, including lions and tigers, are also constantly on the move in their native habitats.
2. Animals in Circuses Pose Threats to Public Health and Safety
The conflict between the animal's instincts and the harsh realities of captivity — as well as training methods that utilize violence, fear, and intimidation — cause wild animals tremendous amounts of stress. It is little wonder that some animals rebel in rampages that injure and kill people.
Escaped circus animals pose serious threats to public safety. In addition to causing major property damage, they can place local residents at risk from potential injury.
Elephants in the circus may carry tuberculosis (TB), and can infect humans with the bacterial disease. Public records show that many circuses have a history of tuberculosis in their elephants, and that many have used TB-positive elephants in public performances.
3. Federal and State Laws Do Not Adequately Regulate Circuses
It might be reasonable to assume that legal safeguards are in place to protect animals in circuses. But while circuses and traveling shows must comply with the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and any applicable state and/or local laws, these regulations are neither sufficiently specific nor adequately enforced.
Every major circus that uses animals has been cited for violating the minimal standards of care set forth in the Animal Welfare Act.
Officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (which enforces the AWA) have repeatedly ignored obvious physical trauma to animals, eyewitness accounts of mistreatment, and sworn testimony from former circus employees who report mistreatment of elephants.
4. Circuses Do Not Conserve Endangered Species
Endangered animals born in circus "conservation" programs have never been released into the wild; most are slated to become "replacement" performers. Captive breeding programs do nothing to address the real threats endangered animals face in the wild, such as poaching, trophy hunting, loss of habitat, and loss of prey.
While circuses line their pockets with money from ticket sales, wild animal populations continue to decline due to a lack of support for enforcement of protection laws, educational programs, and habitat preservation in the animals' native lands.
Despite circuses' high-minded claims, they are entertainment, not education. Watching wild animals perform unnatural tricks does not teach our children respect or appreciation for animals, nor does it help animals in the wild. Circuses teach children that it's acceptable to exploit and mistreat animals for amusement. Further, no research has shown that attending circuses increases public concern about the population status of a species or what steps are being taken to ensure its survival in the wild.

I cannot get the screws out of the old countertop! We have tried everything they will not budge and are an odd size as well. They are like allen wrench bolts - any ideas of what to do? The new countertops are due here in a couple of hours!!!
Are you sure that you are using the correct driver bit? The screws could be a star bit, or a square drive. There are several different sized available in each. If you don't have exactly the right size and shape bit, then the screws will not turn.
Yes thanks! We bought several "square" bits and one finally worked! What a job. Then the cabinet guy got here and didn't have the right saw to do the job so we are out of luck until Monday! Such is the life of living in a trailer having to cut everything to make it work - and we are out in the boonies to boot.

Here's part of a letter a guy sent us about Elaine: "I'm 61 and I've bought girlie magazines for over 40 years, since my Navy days. I've been married and divorced twice, and I'm a grandfather. Elaine is exactly the type of woman I've chased my whole damned life. Both of the broads I married have her type of face, big breasts, muff and body. The woman I'm seeing right now looks like Elaine. When I first saw Elaine's photographs, I thought right away of another favorite large breasted model from maybe ten years ago named Fawn Miller. They could be dead ringers." Elaine, a very striking looking Englishwoman, is 34DD, measures 40-26-36 and weighs 127 pounds. She's 5'7" in bare tootsies. Check out picture #45. That's some beautiful cunt she has. Born March 9, 1972, she's 29 years old now, still young enough to take off her clothes in the studio. We'd like to see her again on film, so we have put the word out to the photographer who once shot her, and asked him if he can find her, as she has moved without a forwarding.

Sunseeker Yachts
Poole Boat Works is the company we now know as Sunseeker Yachts. It started out of a small shed in the United Kingdom and over the years grew to a large manufacturing facility. The available model includes: 30 Meter Yacht, 34 Meter Yacht, 37 Meter Yacht, 40 Meter Yacht, 46 Meter Yacht, 80 Yacht, and 88 Yacht. When trying to deice which yacht model you are interested in, it is best to keep in mind the conversion between feet and meters, with one meter equal to 3.28 feet. The company started its success when they were showing off their 17 and 23 feet long models and were approached by a Frenchmen who suggested they add a full sun bed and make them all white. Once they adapted the boats to his suggestions, the company took off. Once the boats are designed with the assistance of a computer and the parts are made, the boats are assembled by hand to ensure top quality for their future owners. Originally made from all wood, the boats are now made from fiberglass, aluminum, and steel. Though new pricing has to be obtained from a dealer, used pricing is around $495,000.

Topic - Font camping
dartfrog on 12 Nov 2013
I am heading to Font in summer. I have tried to book campsites in the area of La Chapelle-la-Reine and Milly-La-Foret. I have had no reply.
It may be early as I am told most sites do not open until spring. That said I would have thought they would take bookings.
Any information would be of help.
I have also noticed that the guide books for Font are a bit of a minefield. I would imagine fixed problems with the odd circuit would be the order of the day so if anyone can recomend a good one.
Any seasoned Font heads out there?

JavaScript MVC
26 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
I like the idea of creating HTML templates in JS and replacing using regexp. In fact a lot of JS frameworks have this functionality built-in (see String.substitute() in Mootools for example). However you're still mixing concerns. Much better in these cases – IMO – to keep most of this logic in the controller… of the web server. This keeps your views in HTML for the designers, and you'd just use AJAH to pull the rendered views in to the client. Also helps to avoid duplicating logic in the client/server. In your example JS would validate the form on the server and the server would return the HTML chunk of errors – if any. I think much more useful than MVC for JS is event delegation – a different kind of abstraction that also helps with development and maintenance in the long term.
@rloaderro: HTML generation should be done in the view, whether it's on the server or client. The controller in an MVC architecture should act as a mediator. I tend to take a couple approaches to HTML generation depending on the project. If there are a variety of ways that the HTML may get generated, such as within a CMS with multiple object types, then rendering on the server is (I find) easier to maintain. However, in apps that have a more singular focus (like a calendar), including an HTML template within the page, such as in a JS-embedded template, works well and usually means less data having to be sent down the pipe.
As to others who feel this is overkill, it can be. But it also doesn't have to be. Here's an example: you're using jQuery UI to provide sliders for a mortgage calculator. The UI components are your view. The event management is your controller. The question, then, is whether you need a dedicated object for your model. If this was all the page was doing, then not likely; event management and data management would be combined into a single function and that's okay. If the calculator was part of a larger app such as a budget estimator that needs to save income and expenses to a server, then it makes sense to combine entries into a model that can save values to the server while the event delegation continues to remain simple. How much more complex have I made the application over just the calculator? One object. Is that overkill? I don't think so.
I'm disappointed by the responses to this post from the Javascript and HTML developers out there. This kind of framework is exactly what JS needs.
I had the same initial reaction when applying MVC design patterns to Adobe Flex a few years ago. I thought it was introducing a level of verbosity and complexity that not only made development slower, but actually ran slower as well. But, in the end, the goal wasn't small and fast code. It was manageable code. And in any medium-to-large project, IMO, manageable is many times more important than small-and-fast.
I'm picking up Ruby on Rails now as well and I'm even more convinced that MVC is the right way to go for front-end web development.
1. Project Size
Everyone is correct that you can build a small project without using a framework – just like you can build a bookshelf or fix a broken pipe without going by the book. But just because you can doesn't mean you should. And as web development professionals we should be advocating the correct way to do the job, not the "good enough" way. That means not only frameworks, but testing and documentation as well.
If you're a small web development shop who builds one-off projects for clients, you probably don't need a framework. Every new project begins from scratch with a few utilities and snippets you find useful. But in my experience I've always had to maintain a site or web application over many months and years. And I've had to hand that project off to other developers to maintain even longer than that. If you're in that line of work, you need to do things right, even if the project initially seems small, because things always change.
In fact, I wouldn't even want to work with a small shop that didn't use some kind of framework, even if it was just homebrew, because that would not only demonstrate a lack of professionalism in their craft, but also a sense that they're not learning from their experience to build future projects more efficiently.
2. "Overflowing complexity"
I think it's a common mistake for people to confuse verbosity with complexity. MVC is actually a lot simpler than most of the homegrown complexity management systems I've seen used with HTML/JS code.
From a bug report, I can usually tell whether or not the issue lies in the model, view, or controller, and I structure my filesystem in such a way to make it easy to find these files. And everyone else who comes along after me, once they understand the framework, knows where things are supposed to be. (In RoR, it's called "convention over configuration")
In my experience with the "direct hacker approach", I find myself and others constantly searching through a flat file system, grepping through folders full of .js files looking for the function name or variable that is supposed to be used in some context. And once a bug is found, everyone has their own special way of fixing it, which may solve the immediate bug, but may also have some unwanted side effects which are hard to track down because the relationship between different .js files isn't explicit, either by naming convention, folder structure, or any of the other things a framework provides.
But, I'll admit, there is something annoying about the verbosity of frameworks. You do end up with a lot of template code that doesn't do much, bloats your code base, and may make your site slower. But I find template code to be more manageable. It's like carving little expansion slots into your code for that next big feature request. Everyone can agree on where to start, instead of everyone carving out their own slots wherever they like after the feature request is made. Seeing empty slots also makes it easier to see where code may be lacking in things like validation, security, or visual design. Finally, it makes it easy to scope tasks knowing that I don't have to reinvent any constructs to deal with a feature request. I can just say "I can do that, and I know exactly where to start, and it will take me 1 hour to complete". That's valuable if you're working with an agile team.
Once you've decided that you've made the correct architecture decision, verbosity is just something you manage. Most people use code generation to create templates so the only thing they have to write is the customization. But the best approach is abstraction. Assembly was powerful, but it was verbose, so we built languages on top of it to abstract away the verbosity and complexity and just deal with the stuff that matters. Ruby is a excellent case study in this overall. jQuery and prototype do this well for JS. But RJS in Rails, Google Web Toolkit, and Objective-J are the places I've been looking to for abstractions that will make MVC design patterns in JS less onerous.
I have to say that I totally agree with eddroid on this one. Following a pattern will lead to more maintainable code in most cases, and the MVC pattern is a well known pattern that many developers know how to use already. You don't even need a framework for this, as long as you are following the pattern it will help you out a lot.
We are used to patterns on the server side, and with todays javascript heavy pages, why should we not use one on the client side as well? We all know how easily javascript can get out of hand and become a mess.
Thanks for a great article.
Jonathan, your article was spot on about having an MVC framework in JavaScript. However, I have to disagree with your decision to put your validation code inside of the Model class instead of the Controller. In your example, the data validation is very simple and only deals with the format of the data, but in many cases data validation includes much more than just format checking, and can include specific business logic and view settings which all belong in the Controller not the Model.
For example, in your calendar scenario if you accepted date inputs, the validate code would be much more complex. What if you wanted to define business logic that said they could not enter dates on a Sunday? Or what if the View had a checkbox that said "Exclude Holidays"? Or what if you had to make an AJAX call to verify that you didn't have a meeting on that date? As you can see, validation code is much more than just "format checking" and can get quite complex and may require business rules. Thus instead of putting some validation in the Model and some in the Controller, make it consistent and maintainable and put it all in the Controller.
My 2 cents.
I think the problem with evangelizing MVC is that it only seems useful in very large, very complex projects. Most of those projects usually contain code that the developer/business would prefer to keep very close to the vest.
I notice that this article did not even contain a working demo.
Are there any open-source, non-minified MVC projects available to be used as good examples of MVC method and its usefulness?
To my mind the article provides an MVC model that is an example of widget-based data visualisation/control, rather than a more typical page-based visualisation that most web apps exist as today (note this includes Single Page Apps where there's plenty of widgets and AJAX hijinks .. but which ultimately must face the issue of navigating to another page/SPA once the full capability of a given page/ui is explored).
The article is great .. but it doesn't point out the huge advantage of going MVC in the browser .. and that is maintaining state client side, and reducing the server to only needing to serve stateless data. With APPLEBOX, once a UI/View is realised, it maintains it's state and is shuffled back out of view (in the iframe stack) until it is needed again. When the controller needs to return to it .. it bring it forward and the ui then retrieves whatever data it needs. This means no reloading of extensive js libs and ui widgets per page navigation.
APPLEBOX is 2 years old now, and the architecture is rock solid. Whilst its great to see frameworks such as sproutcore, JavaScriptMVC and others out there, I'd like to see dojo/jquery/yui/ext to step up into this new area, and provide some application controls (starting with mvc) rather than simplying being widget or javascript foundation toolkits.
I agree with the post above: if the likes of jQuery and Mootools start encouraging people to write mvc javascript, everybody will use it.
That is the only way!
Jonathan is right, for smaller applications it is not always worth it to type so much code. But now, the (increasingly used) frameworks make it easier to write JavaScript MVC—so I also think this could accelerate the spread of MVC.
MVC designed systems are great, but they have become all the rage in good ways and bad. I've come across quite a few projects that have way too much code in creating a proper MVC (for future development maybe?), only to have the system do something that could easily be done with a fraction of the code, yet still be completely usable for other programmers who stumble across the code. So in mu opinion, K.I.S.S., unless you know you'll be expanding the project to a decent size in the future.
I'm glad you are publishing more technical articles and less fluffy ones. Still not convinced MVC is the way to go for Javascript RIA.
It would be nice if one could port some an Actionscript framework (PureMVC springs to mind) to Javascript, but I doubt that would be worth it, or even feasible.
Interesting article, I wasn't aware of people trying to implement MVC into front-end code. I'd guess it's coming from the .net boys trying to cope with javascritped business logic.
I'm not sure what you've described is actually MVC. You're mixing templates into the javascript and using AJAX to pull data. Also, there's that whole issue of application behaviour code supplying business logic to the entire application through things like validation routines. It's the job of the back-end controller to define relationships not the 'view' behaviour code.
A much better approach would be to add the elements

 and have your behaviour logic read the content of those elements to control client event handling. Let's look at an example you describe concerning the preloading of a calendar. You load your special event days into the 'database' as a table for those months prior and ahead of what is displayed. You might call this client-side database normalisation. Your controller can then read the recieve the next click event, the model can retrieve the special event days and the view fetches and builds the template which is inserted as a widget by the controller.
For brevity. This is more like what the setup of MVC validation messages, as you've described, should look like on the page:

{loop varMessageData as Data}

1	Your email address is invalid	warning required

In any event I still think that MVC for web application development is a collective madness which we'll all look back on in ten years time and have a good laugh. MVC doesn't clearly define ORM as an inherant part of the pattern, which, makes CMS development obtuse at best.
@waffle: doing view rendering on the server is definitely a valid approach. However, the tradeoff for me is how much time/bandwidth do you sacrifice in doing so. If you're rendering a complete calendar of events for each month, it's almost pointless to do it via Ajax—especially if there aren't any events within a particular month. I prefer pulling in just a JSON request because it's smaller. Storing that information client side then becomes part of the model (essentially, keeping track of state and syncing with the server).
Are we going to look back to server development 10 years from now and all laugh about having used MVC? With the increasing complexity of client-side apps (not only on the web but also in desktop apps like AIR and Titanium), it seems like a natural choice.
I tend to agree with Eddroid. MVC isn't new and the fact that it has survived decades for many similar discussions such as this to be taking place today gives everyone something to think about, especially its detractors.
Even if I'm doing a small dirty project, I still find more merits doing it right. MVC patterns for smaller projects isn't going to give you that much more overhead in any case. Backtracking your codes a year later won't make much of a difference in a small project whether its done with MVC or not. But it does make a difference when you are working with a team. Your project may need to spin off to something larger, or open-source, etc from the same code base. Then I'd think your MVC foundation would do you justice.
I'd rather not be caught realizing this a year later into development.
Essentially, I look at the quest of applying MVC patterns for javascript/ajax more than just for goodness' sake, but a case of developing healthy coding habits, seeing and thinking right. A cause with more benefits than not, most certainly.
On the server side, I like codeigniter for its loosely coupled design which gives developers more flexibility. I could stray from convention where necessary. Likewise, I think in browser MVC, we should also find that balance.
It isn't too difficult to consume a fish without swallowing its bones. Great article Jonathan!
There are other patterns to separate concerns. MVP, Humble Dialog, and even Presenter First.
For me the separation helps because I test first then write my code. When I need to refactor, adding new behavior to my app, separation is what I need.
Use of JavaScript is to give a more responsive experience the user. An example of this would be if you wanted to display some markers on a google map. The addresses are stored on your server. The addresses have no geocoding. User requests data from server. Client requests geocoding from a geocoding service. Display markers on google map. The other way would be my server having to request geocoding. then sending data to client.
OBTW why not have the address be behind somebody else's API. So now all my server has to serve up is HTM, JavaScript, and CSS. Let the client pay for the bandwidth.
Now my business costs go way down. My programmers (me) don't have to invest in backend software maintenance costs. Learning PHP, Python, Ruby, DOTNET, only so far as needing to know how to get a server up and running.
Hmmm…. wonder if you could write a mongrel-like server in JavaScript. Just embed SpiderMonkey.
MVC was first put in practice in the development of the Smalltalk GUI. The latest work by the same team is the Squeak language and environment. Squeak has a GUI toolkit named Morphic which is not strictly MVC because after 30 years of trying they concluded it is just not worthwhile to separate the view from the controller, as the two are naturally very interdepedent. So for GUIs and client-side web programming the way to go is M/VC: split the model from the rest, and be happy.

"He told me he'd been toying around with this book for quite a few years," Clotfelter said. "It was the first time I'd been flying with someone for three or four years and found out something personal like that — that he was a writer.

Stewart said writing has been the one common thread in his life — dating back to his first writing course at Brigham Young University while in his early 20s. He said the class didn't give him much hope as an author.
"I got my report card from the creative writing class and got an incomplete," Stewart said. "The instructor said that all my writing through the course had been marginal and that my last story was pretty good. Then he said, 'I don't think you wrote it.' "
Stewart said writing for him since then has been compulsive and that his experiences always seem to become material for his books. He said he was sure his time on the campaign trail also would provide good material — an irony given what happened at the State Republican Party Convention in April.
Conspiracy theory » It had all the elements of a political-conspiracy novel.
Stewart, locked into an 11-person race for the GOP nomination for the 2nd Congressional District, showed up at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy and prepared to give his speech to delegates and convince them that Congress needed more members with military experience and someone with an economics pedigree.
After the candidates spoke, the delegates would vote and if anyone could eclipse 60 percent, they would nab the party's nomination.
But Eureka Mayor Milton Hanks blew things up as the last speaker when he accused four candidates of forming the "ABC Club," which stood for "Anybody But Chris [Stewart]." Hanks said it was a low-blow tactic to conspire against Stewart. The four candidates, in turn, accused Stewart of planting Hanks in the race as a ploy to destroy their chances of winning.
A Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint filed by Cherilyn Eagar, David Clark, Howard Wallack and John Williams alleged Stewart's campaign manufactured an anonymous letter to delegates claiming the four had started the ABC Club and that Hanks was in on the conspiracy.
Other than the ongoing FEC investigation, it all turned out well for Stewart. He clinched the nomination and later got the stamp of approval from the state Republican Party, which declared, after an internal probe, that there had been no wrongdoing.
Rich Stewart said after it all went down April 21, he went backstage and gave his brother a quick hug.
"I just told him this would pass," Rich Stewart said. "That it would work out."
Stewart also had some big guns come to his defense — including conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck.
Beck, who had worked on books with Stewart, calls him "a good friend of mine" and had Hanks on his show shortly after the scandal. Beck said Stewart is among a group of "good honest men that are still out there who refuse to play the political game."
Balanced budget » On a Friday night, the Viewmont High School football team is being trounced by rival Davis High School.
Chris Stewart and his wife, Evie, were there to watch their youngest daughter on the drill team at the halftime show and volunteer to work the snack shed.
All night, he'd been dishing out hot dogs and candy amid verbal exchanges punctuated with heavy usage of the word "dude" and a lot of "y'all's."
When halftime hit, Stewart sat in the stands, cupped his hands to his mouth and cheered as his daughter performed to a bass-heavy dance song forced through a tinny speaker. The diffused sound, however, didn't seem to hamper the routine and it didn't bother Stewart — who admitted his music tastes trended more toward 3 Doors Down and Pink Floyd than to most hip-hop.Next Page >

Senator: Should hourly minimum wage be $22?
Elizabeth Warren said that a much higher baseline would be appropriate if wages were tied to productivity gains.
If we had adopted that policy decades ago, the minimum wage would now be about $22 an hour, said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) last week. Warren was speaking at a hearing held by the Senate's Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. You can see the video here.
Warren was talking to Arindrajit Dube, a University of Massachusetts Amherst professor who has studied the issue of minimum wage. "With a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, what happened to the other $14.75?" she asked Dube. "It sure didn't go to the worker."
The $22 minimum wage Warren referred to came from a 2012 study from the Center for Economic and Policy Research. It said that the minimum wage would have hit $21.72 an hour last year if it had been tied to the increases seen in worker productivity since 1968. Even if the minimum wage got only one-fourth the pickup as the rate of productivity, it would now be $12.25 an hour instead of $7.25.
Some of the news media took this to mean that Warren is calling for a minimum-wage increase to $22 an hour. That doesn't appear to be the case. She seems to be merely pointing out that the minimum wage has grown more slowly than other facets of the economy.
Warren is taking some hits on Twitter for her comments. One user describes her as "clueless and out of touch" while another calls her "delusional." But other users are praising her arguments as "compelling," saying she is "asking the right questions regarding minimum wage."
Maybe minimum wage is a misleading nomenclature.Maybe we should look at what it does.When a minimum wage is established then any company must pay that minimum(or get creative in their hiring{using contract workers etc.})
On the other end of the scale,it makes companies paying higher wages want to reduce to the minimum.In both cases the workers are expected to perform at the top of their ability and productivity.At some points in our country's history companies rewarded the workers who did the best work,contributed to improving the product and helped the company gain market share.These dayss companies reward with the attitude "At least you have a job".Political affiliation aside the politicians take lobbyist money to vote for programs that have allowed and fostered this style of management without reguard to workers.Most companies now work like the goverment.They have little reguard for those who support them,expect their programs to be carried out,and attempt to profit maximum.It works so well for the goverment,why wouldn't companies follow their example.The trend now is to get everyone down to a subsistence level so that they will be greatful when they hear the "At least you have a job".
What this does not take into account is the reasons for the productivity increase. For example, in 1968 there weren't desk top computers to or word processors, and there were almost no robotics in assembly line work.
So I what criteria was used to determine an individuals productivity? Can the high cost of automation be factored in? And does that actually decrease the individuals "sweat equity" in the position? None of this was addressed based on the article, nor was the cost of the automation.
I want my wife to stay home and raise our children. I have become more productive as a worker through technology but corporate america will not give me a raise based on how much more money i make them so both my wife and I have to work 50+ hours a week to survive! Who suffers? For one the children. Who gains? You got it the 1%ers.
So I guess
So if we are more productive then ever that means companys are doing the job with less people right? If that's so corporate america could take a big cut say 60% and still give the workers raises. Instead they're taking it ALL! They are not even giving you 5%. You get nada. Nothing. And you better like it or they will fire you. Sounds more and more like slave labor everyday.
The rich are getting richer. Bring back the unions!

Jennifer Laughlin Bumgarner of Cedar Falls just got her first book published, Walking in Mommy's Shoes.
She actually wrote most of the book about ten years ago and kept it in a desk drawer.
"I was inspired to write the book because I was a teen mom. Working and going to college and having a child was hard, and I wasn't home much," said Bumgarner.
Jennifer's inspiration for the book is her daughter Kaylee. Now 18, Kaylee used to hide her mom's shoes so she couldn't go to work.
Bumgarner said writing the book helped her work through the guilt of having to leave home, with Kaylee and her two other children.
"Even though I wasn't home as much as I'd like to be I learned during that drive home how to forgive myself and when I walked in the door be the mom I wanted to be," she said.
After being diagnosed with a heart condition, Jennifer decided she wanted to try to get her book published.
"Basically, I have a really fast heart rate. It made me think about the book and if something happened to me I didn't want it to get lost in the desk. I wanted to pull that out and at least try to have something to leave for my children," said Jennifer Laughlin Bumgarner.
She said it's an educational book. It helps teach children colors and the days of the week. She's already writing more books for what she's calling a mommy series. Bumgarner also plans to produce a daddy series and a blended family series, based on her relationship with her fiance and his children. She hopes to have a total of 18 books out within the next two years.
The Waterloo West High graduate said if you asked her years ago, she never would have predicted she'd be a published author.
"I never thought this would be part of my journey. I had a learning disability, and I didn't even learn how to read and comprehend what I was reading until sixth grade," she said.
Jennifer Laughlin Bumgarner hopes her books give parents an opportunity to create positive memories with their children.
Walking in Mommy's Shoes is available online at Barnes and Noble or Amazon. It's also available at Peekaboo Baby in Cedar Falls and at Taste of India in Cedar Falls.

DELTONA - Yogurt.
Alone, the word sits and conjures the same feelings as the words "lima beans" and "beets," at least for me. Now, place "frozen" in front and we're in a whole different cafeteria.
Yep, it's Yogurt manager Dustin Oehler does not want me, or you, to confuse frozen yogurt with ice cream. But he's not the boss of my taste buds!
I understand his point, however. Deltona's only self-serve frozen yogurt café offers a healthy alternative to ice cream.
"A lot of people confuse the two, but our product is fat-free and healthy," Mr. Oehler said.
Options include nonfat yogurts in non-traditional flavors; non-fat, no sugar added (made with Splenda); low and reduced fat; and sorbets which are non-dairy, non-fat but full of fruit flavor.
I was instantly cheered by the wall colors, which are a lot like flavors - raspberry, lemon, lime, chocolate and mango. Then, I spotted the self-serve yogurt machines and had a "Jetsons" flashback. This is going to be fun, I thought. There are eight flavors including Watermelon Sorbet, Dreamy Dark Chocolate, Pink Lemonade Sorbet, Strawberry Sensation, Blueberry Tart, Birthday Cake, Mango Sorbet and Wild Strawberry.
Mr. Oehler said the flavors change periodically.
Customers are invited to mix and mingle as many flavors as they'd like in cups or waffle cones. The cost is 42 cents per ounce with a typical serving ranging from $3 to $5. Each "creation" is weighed and charged accordingly. That means as much or as little as you want, with more than 20 topping choices. Creation indeed!
Ready for the toppings?
Sour gummy worms, M & M's, Reese's Pieces, Oreo cookies, chocolate chips, coconut, candy sprinkles, Nilla Wafers, Heath Bar crunch, granola, graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, pecans, almonds, peanuts, maraschino Cherries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, mango, chocolate and caramel syrups and whipped cream.
Dreamy Dark Chocolate would have been the easy way out. I wanted to see if there was decadence to be found in the fruit flavors, so I mixed the Blueberry Tart and Wild Strawberry. Topped with sprinkles, pecans, peanuts, blueberries, strawberries and kiwi, it was a flavor and texture extravaganza. And it was so good.
The strawberry frozen yogurt was smooth, creamy and sweet, but naturally so, not in a saccharine or high-fructose corn syrup way. It reminded me of a strawberry milkshake, but milkshakes are made from that other stuff. The blueberry was, in fact, tart but very refreshing and a great complement to the sweetness of the strawberry. And I had to pat myself on the back for topping selection. Not that I think there is an incorrect combination among these. The nuts and sprinkles added a sweet and salty crunch. The fruit was fresh and juicy. Those blueberries were huge.
Mr. Oehler said at Yep, it's Yogurt the fruit is always fresh, never frozen.
"A lot of the customers come in because we offer strictly fresh fruit," he said. "Many places only serve it frozen, in syrup, but this is so much better. It's more costly for us, but it's worth the investment."
Overall, the experience was fun as well as delicious. I kept thinking it would be a perfect place to entertain kids, with no resulting sugar high.

We offer two ways to locate information:
La Grande Dame 1996 is a pale gold-green color with brilliant reflections that are typical of the vintage. Effervescence is delicate and extremely steady.
On the nose this wine is exceptionally elegant. Dominant floral notes (mint and white flowers) mingle with hints of fresh fruit (citrus fruits, fresh almonds). As it undergoes aeration, riper notes of vanilla and nougat come to the fore, giving a pleasant roundness to the wine. At this stage a typical Chardonnay characteristic, crisp elegance, clearly prevails over aromatic strength.
In the mouth, the Pinot Noir reveals its true personality. Fruity notes (white peaches, grapefruit and bergamot) dominate an energetic attack on the palate, which is prolonged by the structure and roundedness of the wine. The balance, a combination of freshness and vigour, is ideal. With a finish that is extremely persistent and clean, mineral notes add force to this noble wine.
La Grande Dame 1996 is based on a blend of eight Grands Crus traditionally used for this wine. The blend is dominated by Pinot Noir grapes (62.5%), which come from Ay in the vallée De la Marne, and Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay and Bouzy in the Montage de Reims. The Chardonnay grapes, (37.5%) come from vineyard plots in Avize, Oger, and Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs.
1995 began with a mild winter and budburst occurred during the second week of April. After a short cold spell, the flowering was excellent, due to hot, almost summer-like weather. Ripening was very rapid and picking began on September 21st.
The House was founded by Philippe Clicquot in 1772. Since its inception, Veuve Clicquot has been a specialist in Champagnes based on Pinot Noir, especially Rose. In 1803, François Clicquot was married to Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin. Madame Clicquot was widowed just two years later. Veuve Clicquot (Veuve means widow in French) took over her husband's business. In 1810, the house took the...Read More About Veuve Clicquot
Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne...Read More About Champagne
Vintage Champagne and Sparkling Wines
Vintage Champagne is made in particularly good years with optimum weather and the best grape selection.
Some houses, like Dom Perignon, only make vintage Champagne,
so they do not produce a wine every year and have no
non-vintage bottlings.
What makes vintage Champagne better? Well, status for one - many vintage Champagnes are...Read More About Vintage

Life on the set of "Zero Dark Thirty," the new film depicting the hunt for and killing of Osama bin Laden, had some similarity to real military training, according to actor Chris Pratt. "For six weeks we were bunking together, living together, smelling each other's farts and BO and fighting each other," Pratt said of filming with the group of actors playing Navy SEALs.
For the raid scene, which concludes the two and a half hour film, Pratt and his cohorts learned skills at a special operations training center before tackling "Bin Laden's compound," a replica of the real one built in Jordan for filming. "We ... saw it for the first time like the real SEALs saw it, going in and trying to kill Osama bin Laden," the "Parks and Recreation" actor explained. "It was chaotic, it was dusty. We had real firearms. We had goats running around. We had terrible accommodations," he told a Washington audience Tuesday night, after the film screened at the Newseum. "For 'Zero Dark Thirty 2' we're going to make some demands," Pratt laughed.
Pratt, who heralds from the small town of Virginia, Minn., was unsure about taking the role, not only because his wife, actress Anna Faris, was pregnant at the time -- "I had all these fantasies about getting kidnapped and stuff," he admitted -- but also because so many family members and friends had served in the military. "I didn't want to be part of a movie that would take some angle or tried to make some comment about our involvement in the Middle East as a country," he said. "I was afraid to just jump on something, and I'm really not that cautious about anything." He was convinced when director Kathryn Bigelow said she wanted to "tell it how it is," Pratt recalled. "I was right to believe in her," he concluded.

Dear Roze:
My husband recently applied for a job at Ft. Monroe as a contractor and got a conditional offer. The offer was conditional on him getting his Top Secret clearance. He filled out all the paperwork but didn't get the clearance. I think it's because of our credit history. We declared bankruptcy seven years ago. He had a few minor credit issues but no judgments; and he has made payment arrangements with the companies to pay them in full by Dec. 31st. He has never been convicted of a crime nor has he done any drugs. I can't figure out why he didn't get the clearance. Also, is he entitled to know why he was declined? The company won't tell him why he was declined. It would help to know so if it is something fixable, we can fix it, if possible.
-Clearance confusion
Dear Clearance confusion:
Your husband must do a written request to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Federal Investigative Services to obtain information on the background investigation conducted for his security clearance. The company he applied to would not have this information. OPM's Web site provides in detail what your husband needs to submit in order to gain access to his background investigation and/or to update his records with additional or supplemental information (http://www.opm.gov/extra/investigate/foiatips.asp).
Dear Roze:
I have a very competent employee that does excellent work. She's been on the job longer than anyone else in our department, so everything comes easy for her. She comes in very early, way before anyone else, and cranks out all or most of her work before the official work day begins. Consequently, sometimes, she won't be in the office later in the day when everyone else is around, and other employees will ask where she is and why she's not around. It bothers me sometimes but I've chosen not to address it with her. Instead, I mentioned it to my boss and he told me not to say or do anything because the woman always gets her work done and is available whenever anyone needs her. What do you think?
-Dealing with early bird employee
Dear Dealing with early bird employee:
I agree with your boss, however, it appears that your office does not have but should have either a flex time program or specific guidelines/policies concerning work hours. Either measure will ensure that no one wastes his/her valuable work time questioning the whereabouts of others.
Dear Roze:
I'm a male working at a unisex clothing store, and I'm having a tough time with a few of my female co-workers. They're very unprofessional in the way they address customers and me. They even like to start unprovoked altercations with me. Customers have made plenty of complaints and I've tried to resolve my issues by going through the proper channels, all the way up to our regional manager, but no one will do anything because these employees make the company money. I'd quit but I'm in school and don't want to be inconvenienced in trying to find a job that works with my school schedule. I have a bright future ahead of me and don't want to mess it up over some ignorant employees. I think I've exhausted all my options. Is there anything else I can do?
-Fed up with unprofessional co-workers
Dear Fed up with unprofessional co-workers:
Although it is disconcerting that your company chooses to ignore its employees' unprofessional behavior because it is more concerned about the bottom line, it is not unusual. I firmly believe that furthering your education is most important; therefore, I suggest that you not do anything that could jeopardize that. If your situation does not improve, find the needed time to secure other work that will not conflict with your school schedule.
