No current Talk conversations about this book.
Cool story about a boy who after getting passed around to several abusive foster homes sets out on his own to find his father (whose identity everybody else doubts). The kid has such great common sense. He's very loveable.
A wonderfully written historical fiction for children!
Bud Caldwell is an orphan on the run to find is biological father. After a few years of several foster homes, Bud decides to run away and head west to find his father, Herman E. Calloway. The only thing he knows about this man that he believes is his father is that Herman is a jazz musician. Throughout the book Bud endures complications and close calls that would make anyone stop and go back to a sure thing, home, but this doesn't stop Bud. He has his rules, "Bud Caldwell's Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself" and knows how to make it, despite the hardships of being a 10-year-old black boy during the Great Depression.
Love this book. Great read for any age! Comical at times, because Bud is so young and naive.
Touching, riveting book about a young boy on a search for his father after living in multiple foster homes. He carries a special suitcase and meets many helpful people along the way. Will he find him or be sent back?
Ten-year-old Bud has been passed from orphanage to foster home since he was six years old. When things go wrong at yet another foster home, he sets out on his own with just an old suitcase full of his most treasured belongings -- mostly mementos from his mother. After a few adventures and misadventures around town, Bud sets out from Flint, Michigan to Grand Rapids. He's off to find Herman E. Calloway, the man Bud believes to be his father. You see, his mother never told him who his father was, but she left behind some clues, including a handful of flyers for Herman E. Calloway's jazz band. Will Bud make it to Grand Rapids, and will he find a home there? You bet -- but neither of those things will happen in the way Bud expects!
This is a great book, both funny and heartwarming. Curtis always writes with such an authentic voice, you can tell he's one of those authors who remembers what it's like to be a kid. The story flows along with perfect pacing, and the period and setting are well-researched without being obtrusive. This is an excellent book which I highly recommend.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553494104, Mass Market Paperback)"It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real, real small and then... woop, zoop, sloop... before you can say Jack Robinson, they've gone and grown a lot bigger than you ever thought they could." So figures scrappy 10-year-old philosopher Bud--"not Buddy"--Caldwell, an orphan on the run from abusive foster homes and Hoovervilles in 1930s Michigan. And the idea that's planted itself in his head is that Herman E. Calloway, standup-bass player for the Dusky Devastators of the Depression, is his father.
Guided only by a flier for one of Calloway's shows--a small, blue poster that had mysteriously upset his mother shortly before she died--Bud sets off to track down his supposed dad, a man he's never laid eyes on. And, being 10, Bud-not-Buddy gets into all sorts of trouble along the way, barely escaping a monster-infested woodshed, stealing a vampire's car, and even getting tricked into "busting slob with a real live girl." Christopher Paul Curtis, author of The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963, once again exhibits his skill for capturing the language and feel of an era and creates an authentic, touching, often hilarious voice in little Bud. (Ages 8 to 12) --Paul Hughes

Ten-year-old Bud, a motherless boy living in Flint, Michigan, during the Great Depression, escapes a bad foster home and sets out in search of the man he believes to be his father--the renowned bandleader, H.E. Calloway of Grand Rapids.

Giving a cyborg samurai a sword...because cyborg samurais love swords.
The Pitch: An offshoot story from the Metal Gear Solid series, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is an exercise in cyborg death-dealing, surgical swordplay, and silly subtitles.
What It Really Is: Revengeance was initially a project of Metal Gear master Hideo Kojima, and was supposed to fit into the main canon of the Metal Gear Solid series. However, after Kojima's studios struggled to make the swordplay dynamic work, the game got shelved. Months later, Platinum Games took up the mantle and, with Kojima himself helping out with the plot, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance took shape as a game dedicated to the series' supporting character, Raiden. The story oozes with Kojima's involvement and the familiar cast of supporting allies and colorful enemies complement the gorgeously cut scenes perfectly. Though Revengeance does channel its Metal Gear roots often, Platinum Games has carved out a niche in the series with Raiden's sword and the system you use to control it. Approaching MGR:R's combat with anything but precision is a mistake. Button-mashers need not apply because crazy thumbs are gonna get you killed, fast. Instead, the game rewards purposeful movement, combos, and parrying. If you have an inner samurai to summon, we're gonna need you to go ahead and do that now, mmmkay?
Maxim.com Ready-Made Press Blurb: "We're so impressed with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance that we're going to start using the word 'revengeance' in our daily conversations with our bosses." -Maxim.com
Fun Fact: Metal Gear Rising completely ditches the need for stealth that was so important to Metal Gear Solid games, going to the opposite extreme by setting off every alarm in the vicinity with a swipe of your sword. This is not a bad thing, as you quickly realize it's more fun to take on a screen full of baddies than getting involved in mano a mano swordfights.
Special Edition: Like most special editions, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's special edition comes with a copy of the game (duh), the game's soundtrack, a steelbook collector's case, and a statue of Raiden's sword. Unlike most special edition statues, which serve no purpose other than broadcasting the fact that you spend more money on video games than on your social life, Raiden's sword statue is a freaking plasma lamp and has added a soft blue glow to our nightly routine of crying until we fall asleep.
Who It's For: Patience is a requirement for gamers looking to dig into Raiden's story. There's a fairly steep learning curve to getting the most out of the swordplay here and ignoring that curve is gonna get you spanked and put to bed. If you're willing to put in the time to master the sword, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is infinitely more thoughtful than the brainless Ninja Gaiden 3, as much fun to play as Bayonetta and an absolute must for longtime fans of Kojima's storytelling.
Show me more entertainment!
Take me to the ladies!

Basement pool saga has happy ending for author
Updated 9:00am Thursday 20th March 2014 in News
A CONTROVERSIAL plan to build an underground swimming pool has been thrown out.
Craig Burkinshaw, managing director of Witney-based holiday firm Audley Travel, wanted to build a side extension on to the house in Jericho, Oxford, and dig out a basement underneath it which would be used for a pool, gym, sauna room and guest bedrooms.
Author Mark Haddon, who wrote multi-award-winning novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, was one of those who spoke against the development on the corner of Farndon Road and Warnborough Road.
Addressing the city council's West Area Planning Committee on Monday night, Mr Haddon, pictuered left, said: "These building works would be so extensive that they would need to construct a temporary wall a metre into our property for the duration of the works." He also raised concerns about flooding.
Mr Burkinshaw told the meeting: "It is a family home designed around our lifestyle."
The committee went against the recommendation of officers and refused the plans. They said it would have a negative effect on the character of the road; part of the North Oxford Conservation Area.

I think Rhodesia Ransom is the right choice for county supervisor. She knows the community, and she keeps her word. I am most impressed that she actually has experience and that she is not associated with the handpicked, power-hungry politicians who just want to use Tracy as a stepping stone to more power.
We need leadership — not just empty words from politicians who blow in the wind and break their word.

KRTS: The Dread Of An Unknown Evil (2LP, Cyan 12 Inch, Digital)
In 2011 we saw KRTS breaking free from the boundaries of NYC's five boroughs, releasing his first EP, Hold On, with the Berlin-based label Project: Mooncircle. The five tracks of Hold On represent the organic, heavily emotional and lively style of broken-beat, fusion jazz, boom-bap, and dubstep.
With the end of 2012 comes The Dread Of An Unknown Evil, KRTS's first LP (limited, colored, double vinyl / uv-varnish print cover) for Project: Mooncircle. With bass-culture styles reflecting the darker side of everyday reality, the album explores themes such as fear, apprehension, doubt, angst, and sorrow, with the prevailing dread of an unknown and uncertain future—always there, peering around corners, waiting and watching.
"Your Eyes" features Stevee Wellons — a soulful diva and KRTS's own mother — telling the story of lost loves and abandoned hopes.
"Knuckle Under" is an immediate cinematic ride through the chaotic New York City underground, each bass line like an elbow to the shoulder, spinning you and pushing you down until it all turns black.
"Something New" featuring sibling Jon Hairston on vocals, is a plea to love and the risks involved when we hold hearts back.
The ten tracks of The Dread Of An Unknown Evil form an intimate LP from a musician battling to make it between cities, families, loves, losses, and futures — on to the next chapter.
Mastered by Sven Friederichs | Artwork and original paintings by Alfonso Cruz | A&R: Gordon Gieseking

Hooper on list
Lincoln - Nebraska's Jordan Hooper has been selected as one of 30 candidates nationally for the Senior CLASS Award for women's basketball.
The Senior CLASS Award announced its list of candidates on Wednesday, Oct. 30. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must display notable achievements in community, classroom, character and competition. The acronym for "Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School," the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Hooper, a 6-2 senior forward from Alliance, Neb., is a two-time honorable-mention All-American and a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection. She has also been a nominee for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. In the community, she has volunteered her time at Belmont Elementary School, Saint Elizabeth's Regional Medical Center and participated on Nebraska's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, among her many activities.
On the court, Hooper has led the Huskers to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16. She has started 98 consecutive games and serves as a team captain. She enters her senior season with a chance to challenge Nebraska records for points, rebounds and three-pointers made.
Hooper is one of only two women's basketball student-athletes in the Big Ten Conference to earn a spot on the elite list of 30 Senior CLASS Award candidates, joining Penn State's Maggie Lucas.
The list of 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 by a national media committee for the 2014 Senior CLASS Award in November. The 10 finalists will be placed on the official ballot for a nationwide vote. Fan balloting will be coupled with votes from coaches and media to determine the recipient of the award.
Hooper will take part in Big Ten Conference Media Day in Chicago on Thursday, before leading the Huskers in their final exhibition game against Nebraska-Kearney at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m.

It may be the most painful symptom of the economic illness that has put Chicago at a tipping point: our unemployment rate is the highest in the Midwest.
It's almost two percentage points higher than the national average. More than 600,000 are looking for jobs, but can't find any. Hundreds of thousands more want to work, but have given up hope. Many local companies have also given up on Illinois and its fussing, feuding politicians.
One such company that has given up hope ironically has booming sales. It had three shifts working around the clock, needed a lot more room and the owner started looking. From Illinois' point of view, that's when things started to go south.
19 remotely-controlled cameras allow Deron Lichte to inspect every part of his new factory in Portland, Tennessee, even when he's in Crystal Lake preparing to move or sell the last remnants of the former factory of Food Warming Equipment Company, based in Illinois since its founding 60 years ago.
"I loved Illinois. It's where I grew up. It's where I raised my family," Lichte says. "I didn't want to move. It's sad to move. You know you're disrupting and changing people's lives."
The empty factory floor is a heartbreaking sight for Joe Alger. Alger is losing not only dozens of friends and neighbors to Tennessee, but a major client of his own warehousing and logistics support firm. Alger said that, in just the past year, three other local clients moved to Wisconsin, taking more than 700 jobs with them. It's a little-noticed, slow motion exodus. It's also a big reason Illinois's unemployment rate is now worst in the Midwest.
"I'm happy to be taxed. I want a strong defense," Alger says. "I want nice roads. And I'm willing to pay for it. But I'm not willing to pay for a bunch of people who just don't have a clue."
That would be politicians in Springfield who've driven Illinois's once-Triple-A-rated credit nearly to junk-borrower status. And then there's the terrifying specter of hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities for the pensions of state and local public employees. Alger said one out-of-state client said he's nervous doing business with an Illinois-based company.
"He called me up, said, 'Joe, can you move out of Illinois, 'cause I'm worried about the state? Can you guarantee me that they're not gonna go bankrupt?'" Alger explains. "I can't tell you if they're gonna go bankrupt. I mean, quite frankly, I don't know what keeps us afloat now."
Deron Lichte said officials in Tennessee last year showed him a list of 26 Illinois companies that have agreed to move or expand in that state.

text: The former Rollerland skating rink, which also once served as a car dealership, is up for sale. The 1928 building at 922 N. Pennsylvania St. is part of a block of four properties owned by Master Glass & Color Inc. that together comprise about 2 acres of prime real estate just north of the Central Library expansion. Master Glass used part of the 23,000-square-foot building as its showroom, but kept some of the rink remnants, including a sound system and a marquee-style sign that reminds skaters to use caution. The sale also includes parking lots next door and across the street from the rink, along with the building now occupied by FinishMaster at 937 N. Meridian St. Broker Wayne Timberman said the owner, Don Fledderjohn, will consider offers for all or parts of the property. What would you like to see here? Do you expect it will remain industrial?

KURE BEACH, NC (WECT) - It's not in Kansas anymore.
Wednesday afternoon Keith Taylor found a red balloon on the sand at Kure Beach. A closer look showed the balloon had been tagged with a message from an Elementary School in Wichita, KS some 1,400 miles away.
"I couldn't believe it flew that far," Taylor told the Wichita Eagle.
The balloon was released from Kelly Elementary school on Monday as part of a project to mark Red Ribbon Week which is a campaign to promote alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention and awareness.
Taylor said he plans to send the school some shells to help the students learn about the North Carolina coastline.

A Kind of Magic [George Weasley] #5I know this one is a little delayed, but I've had the BUSIEST few weeks. My school is on strike, so I've been working everyday, and it was my birthday last weekend so I've been doing a lot of organizing/partying :P Hope you enjoy it!
Friday, August 31st, 2007
What a hectic day! Ginny rolled everyone out of bed as soon as she could in order to get us all dresed, fed and ready in time to be at Diagon Alley by the time the stores opened. I already had most of the things I needed for the school year thanks to my parents and their over-preparedness. I just stopped to pick up some more parchment and a few more bottles of ink. The rest of my morning was spent following Ron, Harry and Ginny around from store to store to find their things.
By 1:00 they had all they needed and more. Mrs. Wealsey let us go off for lunch and told us not to be back too late. We went into the first restaurant we could find and took a seat at an empty table.
"So, I have something to tell you all." Ron annoucned as our food arrived.
"Actually, Ronald, WE have something to tell you all." Hermione corrected him.
"What's up you two?" Harry asked them worredly.
I couldn't help but let the smile spread across my face. I knew what was coming!
"Well, er, Hermione and I... er, well, we..." Ron stuttuered as he turned 3 shades darker than his hair.
"Oh for goodness sakes, Ron and I are dating." Hermione blurted out.
Harry and Ginny starred at them in a state of schock until finally Ginny caught her tounge.
"Well, thats fantastic! Since when?" She asked them.
"Since about a month ago." Ron answered, only bout 2 shades darker now.
"A month!! Why haven't you said anything! Does mum know? That's so great you guys! I thought it would never happen!" Ginny blurtted out.
"No, mum doesn't know yet. I suppose there's no point in keeping it quiet now, though." Ron answered.
"Congratulations!" Harry said as he clapped Ron on the back.
"Yea guys, congrats!" I said, although I had already known.
We continued eating, talking about that and what we would do after. We decided to head over to the twins shop to say hello and see when they would be home tonight. When we walked in the store was jammed. Angelina was behind the counter working the register, and Fred and George were scrambaling around the store trying to help everyone.
"Oy, Fred! How's it going, mate?" Harry yelled when Fred got close enough to hear.
"Crazy! We could use some help in here!" Fred yelled back.
"Well, we'd love to stay, but we were going to head over to Hermione's house so she could say bye to her parents. Sorry." Ron informed us as him and Hermione walked towards the door.
"There is no way I'm staying in this mess! I'm going home!" Ginny said as she walked out too.
"Hey, wait up Gin! I'll walk you!" Harry shouted after her, "Maya, wanna come back with us?"
"That's alright Harry, I'll stay and help out a bit. Just let Mrs. Weasley know where I am." I told him. He grinned at me, clearly a little too happy to have some time alone with Ginny.
I walked to the back to grab a logoed apron and saw George pulling a box off a shelf.
"Georgey boy, you guys are busy today!" I said to him.
He jumped at the sound of my voice, nearly falling with the box landing on top of him. "Maya, I didn't hear you come back here! You scarred the life out of me!"
I just giggled. "Sorry George, I was only trying to help!" I said lifting up the apron, implying that I was there to work.
"Thanks Maya, we can use it!" He answered.
So the next few hours I spent in the twins shop, helping out. I took over the cash since Angelina had been doing it all morning. I let her go take a break and then cover the floor for a while. By 4 o'clock the rush had finally died down and Fred and George began to clean up. Fred decided it was time to close. We were all exhausted from the rush of kids. The twins locked up while Angelina and I waited outside the shop door. We made small talk until the twins joined us.
"Angelina and I were going to head to her place for some dinner. Care to join us?" Fred asked George and I.
"No thanks, Fred. I promised Maya we'd have some fun tonight, before she heads back to Hogwarts." George told him, "But if you two want to join us after then feel free."
"Alright, see you after then!" Fred said as him and Angelina disapperated.
"Well Georgey, how are we going to have fun tonight?" I asked, "you haven't mentioned any plans."
"I know, but it's a Friday night! We'll go out and have a blast!" He answered.
So we went back to the Burrow and made some sandwiches for dinner. After deciding it was still too early to go out we made some lemonade and went to sit in the backyard. Ron and Hermione weren't back yet and Harry and Ginny had walked over to Luna's to invite her to come out with us tonight.
"So, where exactly did Ron and Hermione go?" George asked, overhearing Ginny and I talking about where they were.
"They went to Hermione's house so she could say bye to her parents." I told him.
"Why exactly did Ron go with her?" He asked, still confused.
"Oh, you haven't heard! Your brother finally worked up the nerve to ask her out. They are officially dating. And about time, too!" I explained.
"Get out! Finally! I thought that kid would never do it!" George laughed. "You know, I've been telling him for years that if he didn't act soon he would loose her. I mean look how close he came with that whole Krum thing. Stupid git still didn't get it."
I couldn't help but think about what Hermione had put in my head the night before. If George had been so persistent with Ron, then, if Hermione was right, he would have done or said something to me by now. I knew it! Hermione and her crazy ideas! She almost had me going, too. Now I can sit back, relax, and enjoy some time with George.
"Where are we going tonight, Georgie?" I asked, yet again. Sometimes I'm too nosey for my own good.
"Merlin, Maya! You'll find out when we get there!!!" He said, throwing a lemon grind at me.
"Ow! Well, how am I supposed to know what to wear if you don't tell me where we're going?" I asked.
"Geez, you're such a girl!" He laughed at me.
"Are you going to tell me or not!" I whined.
"Fine! If you must know, we are going to a friend of mine's house. He is having a party to celebrate the last year of school." He told me.
"A friend's house, eh?" I asked, sarcastically. "This friend wouldn't happen to be Lee, would it?"
"And if it is?" George mocked.
"Good. I really like Lee." I responded.
George stared at me for a moment before responding. "Just remember... you're my date tonight."

Why This Company Offers Plenty of Upside
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Allow me to shamelessly rewrite a famous quote. It's usually attributed to Gary Player and basically involves claiming that the more he practiced the luckier he got. However, when investing in companies I think that it's often a case of the luckier they get, the more chance they get to practice. In other words it's a lot easier to increase operational performance when they are blessed with favorable end markets. I would argue that this is the story with Lowe's (NYSE: LOW), and the stock deserves a closer look.
Same Tune, Different Band
A slew of companies have come out recently and reported some tangible signs of a housing recovery. Let's be clear on this though: It's not a return to the glory days of 2006, which ultimately proved unsustainable, but more of a slow, sustained recovery that allows corporations to leverage up profitability from a lower cost base. As such, the house builders have had a great year with stocks that have lots and approvals, like DR Horton (NYSE: DHI), doing very well while others that lack them, like Beazer Homes (NYSE: BZH), have struggled. The key point is to have operational leverage at the right time. All of which leads me back to Lowe's.
Lowe's is facing better end markets but, by its own admission, has not been executing well enough to take advantage. This leaves the company in classic value proposition territory. In other words, a value investor might compare its metrics with a key rival like Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and then argue the case that it should be able to play catch-up, particularly if end markets are helping it. I quite like this argument, but I confess as more of a GARP based investor I prefer quality rather than value. Of course there is no right or wrong way to invest. It's all about doing what works for you. So how is this thesis playing out for Lowe's?
Coming off the Lowe's
Lowe's pretty much confirmed what Home Depot recently outlined. The consumer remains cautious and is struggling, but housing is making a slow comeback. Moreover, there was broad based strength with 12 of its 14 product categories showing positive comparisons. In concert with Home Depot, it reported that it is seeing some strength now in bigger ticket items and items focused on discretionary spending, like cabinets and appliances.
Another area of strength is in paint, and with Home Depot also reporting good signs here this means that Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) stockholders should look forward to good numbers from the company. It has large exposure to the US housing and construction marketplace.
All of these things are good signs for the sector, whereas previously much of sales growth was driven by general repair work plus the affects of Katrina last year. As for the 'practicing' I referred to earlier, Lowe's is starting to see some traction with its management initiatives. The idea is to simplify the product range in order to generate operational efficiencies. So far so good, and Lowe's reported good sales growth in the items that it has subjected to closer management scrutiny.
I don't think the initiatives are anything more than retail 'blocking and tackling,' but that is the good news. It shouldn't be too hard for experienced retail managers to get things like store layouts, purchasing, in-store promotions and inventory management right. This sort of know-how already exists within the management, and Lowe's has the opportunity to start to close the gap on Home Depot in terms of operating margins and sales per store etc.
Where Next for Lowe's?
On current metrics, I don't think the stock is particularly cheap, but if you believe that they will improve via initiatives and end market growth then there is a strong case to be made for buying the stock. If so, then working capital requirements should not be as high next year, so cash flow conversion is likely to be better and the stock will attract more investors. Lowe's is talking about reducing inventory by up to 10% as a long term aim, and so far only up to 20% of its product categories have been 'reset.' There should be plenty more improvement to come.
The key thing going forward will be successful implementation. As ever, investors will make the comparison with Home Depot (I hold the stock), but no one ever said that you can't buy both stocks. My preference would be to stick with the stock that offers less execution risk and therefore has more thematic exposure to housing (which means Home Depot); but investors looking for more upside via stock specific risk can just as easily buy Lowe's.

Why is Billionaire Eddie Lampert Selling This Spinoff Company?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In an amended 13D filing last week, Eddie Lampert and ESL Investments announced they were downsizing their Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, the Sears Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SHLD) spinoff. Lampert previously owned around 62.1% of Sears Hometown's outstanding shares, but now owns less than 60%, coming in at 59.7% per the 13D filing.
The spin-off of the Hometown and Outlet segment is expected to unlock hidden value for Sears Holdings shareholders. The plans for the spinoff was announced in late February, with the intention of spinning off the stores by selling subscription rights that should raise around $450 million for the company.
The subscription rights were distributed to Sears Holdings shareholders on September 11th. The details of the spin-off include a subscription right for Sears Hometown for Sears Holdings shareholders as of September 7th. The exercise price is $15 and the rights to be listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol SHOSR—with Sears Hometown listed as SHOS.
Given Sears Holdings' cash issues—having spent over $5 billion on share buybacks from 2005-2010 at an average price of $97, versus the stock's current price around $60—the spinoff is a positive for the company to generate much-needed cash. As well, the company has seen its cash on hand decline by over 50% during the past two years.
The new company—Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores—at the listed 23.1 million shares outstanding, had 1Q profits of $0.89 a share on $621 million in sales. The earnings were nearly triple that of 1Q 2011, where the company only earned $1.43 for the full year. 2Q earnings put net sales for Sears Hometown at $645 million, compared to approximately $630 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The company has seen a decline in lawn and garden due to drought conditions, which have put pressure on same store sales—down 1.2%—a decrease of 0.7% from the prior quarter.
The company has high-quality brands, including Kenmore, Craftsman, DieHard and Lands' End. However, Sears Hometown will face the same stiff competition that Sears Holdings faces—with various retailers looking to step up their appliance offering—including Lowe's Companies (NYSE: LOW) and The Home Depot (NYSE: HD)—see which of these two home improvement stores we like best.
Lowe's is expected to increase 2013 sales by only 0.2%, with a net ten new store openings. Home Depot is expected to increase retail sales by 4.6% in 2013 amid an increase in same store sales by 3-4%. Both of these companies have seen downward pressure from the housing market, and as bank lending standards remain tight, the market for new homes, as well as big ticket remodeling, should remain weak for the near future.
Best Buy Co (NYSE: BBY) is also looking to gain market share in appliances, as it sees its consumer electronics market attacked by online retailers. This is in conjunction with their initiative to close some of their larger stores and open smaller mobile-focused stores. The company is in turnaround mode—and a possible takeover candidate—but is still a formidable opponent. The company expects to close 50 of its big-box stores, with a narrowing of its operating margins as it tries to increase its product mix. Revenue is expected to only be down 3% for 2013, which reflects a 3-4% decrease in comp-store sales.
As far as other competition is comcerned, Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) is now competing with some of the mall-based Sears stores. Target has opened its own stores in many markets where there had been a Sears store, but not a Target. Same store sales are expected to be up 3.6% in 2013—see if Target can keep beating the market—with margins contracting slightly as the company turns to lower-margin products to stay competitive.
Overall, the Sears' spinoff should be positive for Sears Holdings, but the real question is how will the new Sears Hometown stores fare. Lampert and ESL dumped a small stake, but the fund manager is expected to partake in the subscription if the price is favorable. This could be the reason for his recent sale, making an effort to plan accordingly. The Sears Hometown stores will still have strong ties to Sears Holdings, since its top brands are the likes of Craftsman and DieHard.
This is a positive for Sears Holdings, who will still be able to receive revenue from Sears Hometown; however, the worry for Sears Hometown shareholders is how the stock will trade. If investors see that too much of a tie remains between the companies they may trade in lock-step, which could drag Sears Hometown down for the interim as Sears Holdings works through its operational and financial issues.

The nine winners were Sow A Seed Community Foundation, Grace Baptist Church, Knights of Columbus Council #4041, Scoop Ministries Inc., Coalition Of Tracy Citizens To Assist The Homeless, South Side Community Organization, Kiona Foundation Inc., Traina Parents Club, and Tracy City Center Association.
The drawing was held in the city council chambers. Numbers representing each of the applying non-profits were written on ping-pong balls and placed into a rotating tumbler.
Spinning the tumbler, Little Miss Fourth of July Hayley Bogetti and Fourth of July Queen Malorie Bournazian took turns taking out individual balls to determine the nine winners and three alternates.
The alternates will be given the opportunity to apply for a permit if any of the original groups do not complete the application process.
The three alternate groups chosen were Bread of Life, Boys & Girls Clubs of Tracy and New Beginnings Apostolic Church.
During the lottery, a crowd of more than 50 non-profit representatives sat silently as event coordinator David Bramell, division chief for the Tracy Fire Department, announced the winners.
Scoop Ministries representative Staci Beckman said she wanted to shout out after hearing her groups number called, but she was in shock.
"This is our first year winning," she said. "I heard the number and they kept calling numbers so I wasn't sure if it was too late to yell woo-hoo."
Tom Simpson of the Knights of Columbus said he had a feeling number five was going to be a lucky lottery number to represent his group.
"When they were picking single digit (winners) I thought we had a shot," he said. "This is our first time winning."
Although there were more than 50 lottery applicants this year, only 44 groups had met the qualifications to apply, said Bramell
In order to qualify, each applicant must have a minimum of 20 Tracy residents as members, be a designated non-profit for at least a year, and hold all of their meetings in the city of Tracy, he said.
"We had a lot of reoccurring groups apply," Bramell said. "The idea of the lottery is to spread the wealth."
Among the lottery winners this year were three previous winners.
Winning during the first lottery in 2011 was Sow A Seed, while the homeless coalition and the Traina Parents Club won slots in 2013.
"We're excited," said Lisa Encarnacion, who spoke as a representative of the homeless coalition.
"We feel really blessed," she said. "We won in the first year. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it and we need it. You can do so many things with it (money)."
Each of the nine lottery winners will have until 5 p.m. on April 30 to submit their completed fireworks permit packet to the Tracy Fire Department to see if they will be approved to open a safe and sane fireworks booth this year.

A groove is a furrow or channel, a long narrow indentation. The batter is feeling the way his bat disturbs the air as he swings. He is imagining or feeling the track of his bat as it moves through the resistance of the air.
From the perspective of a batter, a baseball traveling from the hand of the pitcher (at very high speeds), appears as a white streak. Most pitchers cause the ball to travel with some kind of added movement. In this case the ball is sinking, creating the flashing slant of your quote.

5 credit cards that aren't 'plastic'
Titanium? Palladium? Carbon? What metal is in your wallet?
This post comes from Jeanine Skowronski at partner site Credit.com.
Not all credit cards are "plastic" in the traditional sense. Here are a few cards composed of alternate materials.
American Express Centurion Card
AmEx is tight-lipped about the terms and conditions surrounding its ultra-exclusive Centurion card, reserved for high-net-worth consumers, but it is widely known that the card is made of anodized titanium. The use of titanium gives the card a decisive plunk factor and helps it live up to its slogan: "Rarely seen, always recognized."
JPMorgan Palladium Card
Chase's invitation-only card, reserved largely for private wealth clients and investors, is made of the precious metals palladium and gold. A Bloomberg article estimates the value of the raw materials used to make the card at $1,000. Both the cardholder's signature and account information are etched into each card, which is also outfitted with Visa smart chip technology. (Post continues below video.)
Chase Sapphire Preferred
Chase couldn't disclose the specific components of its popular travel rewards card because it doesn't own the patent on the unique design, but a spokeswoman did confirm there's metal in its mix. The card also sports the account information on the back. The design certainly helps the product stand out among competitors. Though not invitation-only, the card is available only to those with great credit scores.
Barclays Visa Black Card
Barclays' answer to the Centurion, the Visa Black Card, is made from carbon, which, though lighter than titanium, still allows for a certain visibility when handed to a store clerk or set down at a cash register.
Biodegradable Discover Card
OK, technically Discover's green version of its popular credit cards is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). But it's a biodegradable type that will begin to break down when exposed to landfill conditions and is designed to fully degrade within five years. The card can be identified by the three-leaf insignia on its front.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Luxury car maker Jaguar Land Rover
Ralf Speth told a press conference ahead of the Geneva car show the firm planned to increase investment at the plant in central England to over 500 million pounds ($754 million) from a previous plan of around 350 million.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by India's Tata Motors
The investment is part of a surge in capital spending in JLR's production facilities.
In China, for example, the company and local partner Chery Automobile (CHERY.UL) are building a factory.
Company sources also told Reuters on Saturday that JLR was investigating the potential of manufacturing cars in India.
Despite its plans overseas, JLR has continually stressed its dedication to its plants in Britain, where it says it is the country's largest automotive investor in research and development.
($1 = 0.6635 British pounds)

Attention, attention! I was at pacific-rim eatery Asiatique on Bardstown Road last Sunday at 1 pm for brunch and the restaurant was nearly empty. How could this be?
A few reasons why Asiatique needs to be on your weekend brunching agenda:
- Multiple dining areas, gorgeous outdoor patio, and even the bathroom is pretty!
- $3 mimosas. With peach schnapps. Delicious.
- Asian brunch. Just look at the menu! Your partner can get their share of eggs, bacon, and toast while you can fill up on house made chorizo summer rolls, pistachio pancakes with coconut milk infused syrup, or lemon grass marinated beef tenderloin. Also… they make homemade double chocolate chip muffins that taste like a wonderful breakfast brownie explosion.
My brunch had zero wait. And I got to eat this:
Asiatique. 1767 Bardstown Road. Serving brunch on Sundays from 10a- 3p.

What is drone journalism?
With the FAA set to open the nation's airways to civilian unmanned aircraft, the potential uses for drones outside of the military are starting to open up. And that raises a question: Could you do journalism from a drone?
That's a question we want to try and answer at the Drone Journalism Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's College of Journalism and Mass Communications. We've just started the lab and will have our first drone to start testing soon.
So what is drone journalism? Here's a first crack at trying to define it: Drone journalism is the use of unmanned aircraft to gather photos, video and data for reporting. Between inexpensive RC aircraft with high-definition video cameras mounted to them to sophisticated autonomous aircraft with high-resolution imaging hardware onboard, the applications for reporting on disasters, mass protests and other news events with a large geographic extent are wide open.
You're already starting to see applications. In Poland, a man mounted a camera to a RC helicopter and gathered images of a protest.
But there's more. Imagine the reporting potential of more sophisticated platforms like the Gatewing X100.
Gatewing X100 product movie from Gatewing on Vimeo.
Questions to be answered that we're going to explore at the lab:
- How can you do journalism from a drone?
- What are the best practices?
- What are the ethical issues?
- What are the legal issues?
- What are the privacy issues?
- How does drone journalism affect the balance between the public's right to know and law enforcement or security issues?
Stay tuned. We're just getting started.
— Matt Waite

Appendix:English autological terms
A word is autological or homological if it describes itself. Since adjectives are words that are designed to describe things, including words, most autological words are adjectives.
Other parts of speech may be autological: Nouns and Verbs can also be self-descriptive, though not in the same way that adjectives are; phrases may be autological, e.g., "three words long" is three words long; likewise acronyms may be, like TLA for "Three Letter Acronym" or RAS syndrome for "Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome".
A word which is not autological is heterological, except the word "heterological" itself, which logically cannot be either – see the Grelling–Nelson paradox. The word "autological" itself may be taken, without contradiction, to be either autological or heterological – see Grelling–Nelson paradox#Autological.

Gad. Juan Williams steps over the line on Fox, NPR says this hurts his credibility as an analyst and discontintues his contract, suddenly the Republican Party is screaming censorship and accusing NPR of being "Liberal," which, from what I can tell, means not being a toady to their every desire. As Colbert once said only half-jesting, "Everyone knows that the truth has a distinctly liberal slant."
I never much cared for Williams. Didn't like his radio voice, didn't see him as that insightful. His playing a double game on Fox didn't help either.
Now the GOP is screaming to defund NPR. Why is this a straw man? Because, as the CEO of NPR makes clear in this interview, the federal government doesn't give NPR all that much money.
This is yet another example of the screaming full-court press the GOP uses, very effectively, to completely overshadow any reasonable conversation in this country. Truth is irrelevant, facts less so. Mr. Williams makes the handy foil this time. I wonder if he's bright enough to see that he's being used?
Truth: Williams was out of line. Not sure what he was doing working for two companies anyway, although the NPR CEO says several people do it, so OK then, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay attention to the standards.
Is this censorship? Of course not. Williams is free to say whatever he wants, whenever he wants, but no news organization is under any obligation to pay him to do so. I can say what I want, when I want, but if I want the Standard-Examiner to pay me to do it, I have to follow their rules, which is one reason I don't take public stands outside of my column, even to the point of never having yard signs on my front lawn during elections.
Mr. Williams is no different.
I find it highly amusing that Williams says NPR was gunning for him. That's the last gasp of someone who's looking for a way out and wants to blame it on the people he's leaving. Anyone who has ever had to deal with a drama-queen rebellious teen knows how that game plays out.
And he stepped right into a $2 million contract at Fox? How cozy. How convenient. And what a coincidence, Fox just happened to have a $2 million slot available!

TREASURE COAST -- The history of swimming and diving at Indian River State College is storied, but never has the head coaching position been occupied by an alumnus of the program.
Sion Brinn, 1993 graduate of what was then Indian River Community College, has been named Head Swimming and Diving Coach.
As a former athlete at "THE RIVER," Mr. Brinn knows first-hand what it takes to earn a national title. IRSC holds the nation's longest intercollegiate winning streak in the country, with 39 national titles for the men and 35 for the women as well as more than 20 other national records.
"(Mr.) Brinn will bring a unique perspective to Indian River's program as an individual who was part of creating history," said Scott Kimmelman, IRSC Athletic Director. "He will be able to relate to the time and dedication each athlete must put in to assure that IRSC's winning streak continues. As a head coach at Wright State University, he has demonstrated a clear understanding of what it takes to balance training and coursework to achieve success in all aspects of life as a college swimmer or diver."
Mr. Brinn brings a wealth of knowledge in the sport and an impressive athletic career to the position. His resume as an athlete includes two Olympic Games (Sydney 2000 and Atlanta 1996), four World Short Course Championships (Athens 2000, Hong Kong 1999, Gothenburg, Sweden 1997 and Rio 1995), and he traveled the world on the FINA World Cup Tour 1996 and 1997.
Mr. Brinn was a 14-time NJCAA All-American, the 1993 NJCAA Swimmer of the Year, the NJCAA National Record Holder in both the 50 and 100 Freestyle events and was inducted into the NJCAA Swimming & Diving Hall of Fame in 2004. As a swimmer at the NCAA Division 1 level, Mr. Brinn competed for Louisiana State University. At LSU, he finished seventh in the 100 Free at the 1995 championships, earning All-American honors. Additionally, he was named Honorable Mention All-America in the 200- and 400-free relays and the 400-medley relay during his career with the Tigers.
The past 13 years, Mr. Brinn has been with the Wright State University swimming and diving program in Dayton, Ohio. His career began in 2000 as an assistant coach and he was elevated to head coach of the program in July of 2005. During his tenure with the Raiders, Mr. Brinn's teams have won a total of nine Horizon League Championships, and he has been recognized by his peers as the Coach of the Year in the league during the 2006, 2007 and 2008 championships.
Success in the pool is not the only area of importance to Mr. Brinn in his leadership role. The Raider program has been named to the College Swim Coaches' Association of America academic honor roll in nearly every year since Mr. Brinn's association with the program.
Mr. Brinn, his wife Melissa and children, Emerson and Avalie, will arrive in Florida for a June 4 start date, just in time for the June 28 delivery of their third daughter.

Meet Tracy Britt, Warren Buffett's 28-year-old protege
The 82-year-old investor is grooming the former farm girl and Harvard MBA for a senior role at Berkshire Hathaway when he steps down.
Warren Buffett is arguably the best-known and most successful investor in America. But one big question tugging at his Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) shareholders is what his company will look like when he steps down.
While that remains a mystery, one 28-year-old employee is emerging as a rising star and being groomed by Buffett to take on a senior role when he's no longer running the show, The Wall Street Journal reports.
That employee is Tracy Britt, who holds a Harvard MBA and shares Buffett's Midwestern roots, having grown up on a Kansas farm. She's emerging as one of his top executives and serves as chairman of four companies in his conglomerate (she's not among those pictured).
Buffett last month said he knows who his successor is but is not ready to disclose that information. Leading candidates include investment managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, as well as MidAmerican CEO Greg Abel, the Atlantic reports.
Like Combs and Weschler, Britt was picked by Buffett from relative obscurity and then tapped to handle major Berkshire responsibilities.
Here are five more facts about Britt:
She took a bushel of corn to her interview. When she arrived in Omaha, Neb., in 2009 to meet Buffett, she took a gift that underscored their shared roots to the Plains states -- a bushel of corn and some tomatoes.
Britt is the chairman of companies with $4 billion in annual sales. Four years after her initial interview, Britt now serves as the chairman of paint manufacturer Benjamin Moore and building products company Johns Manville.
Some people see her as a replacement for David Sokol. He was Buffett's former protege and a former Berkshire business manager who resigned in 2011 amid a conflict-of-interest controversy.
Britt has an "internal guiding system." Jane Hanson, the founder of the women's networking group 85 Broads, describes Britt as having "some sort of internal guiding system that was propelling her forward." When Hanson asked her interns to pick stocks they thought were good investments, Britt avoided highfliers like BlackBerry (BBRY) and picked Unilever (UL), the type of practical company Buffett favors.
