Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Time to Change Gears
Turning to some of the company's product lines, Chiraco said he's not happy with the quality of some Calvin Klein items, particularly jeans, and is working to increase both quality and design. He said that just four months into its acquisition of Warnaco, PVH still has a lot of work to do.
When asked about the company's store-within-a-store concept at JC Penney (JCP), Chiraco said he's still happy with the arrangement and looks forward to working more closely with that company's new CEO. "I still believe in JC Penney," Chiraco said.
Cramer said he's still a believer in PVH, a company that continues to deliver on all of its promises.
Slam Dunk, Part 2
As the National Basketball Association finals continue, so does Cramer, dishing up another Miami versus San Antonio match up.This time, the financial world: Texas' Cullen/Frost Bankers (CFR) against the Miami-based REIT of EquityOne (EQY). Cramer said Cullen/Frost has been an excellent regional bank that specializes in commercial and consumer loans at its 110 banking centers. The company has a 3.1% yield and a solid track record of low costs and even lower loan losses. Cullen/Frost is in Texas, where the regional economy is booming and unemployment sits a full point below the national average. Meanwhile, EquityOne, which had been a solid commercial REIT in the hottest of urban areas in the south, has seen its shares crushed by 11% as the market has begun rotating out of high-yielding REITs and back into bonds. Cramer reminded viewers that even a 3.7% dividend yield cannot overcome a 11% decline in principal. So while 30 days ago EquityOne was a solid performer, in today's markets it is clearly not. He said unlike Cullen/Frost, which benefits from higher interest rates, EquityOne has been hurt badly by them. Cullen/Frost, he concluded, is in a business that works going forward, while EquityOne's business has worked in the past.
Lightning RoundIn the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on Axiall (AXLL), Mercadolibre (MELI), Sysco (SYY), Cisco Systems (CSCO), Comerica (CMA) and TiVo (TIVO).

I wanted to know what can other farmers and their families do for these farmers whose lives and livelihoods were sacrificed in order to save others more important? Does no one understand how devastating this will be to the economy of these communities and the economy of this nation? This impacts everything from oil to banks to food and the list goes on. These farmers spend combined millions, perhaps billions of dollars each year in order to make a living. A farmer produces one crop a year for his paycheck. How shortsighted can this government be? Just when our economy needs the input of dollars, they have taken out billions! This should be extremely upsetting to every farmer to see how unimportant he is to the very people he feeds. It's never a good idea to bite the hand that feeds you. Thank you.

Uses: Ginger has been used as a treatment for nausea and bowel spasms.
Reactions: Ginger may lead to blood thinning. It is not recommended to be taken with medications that prevent blood clotting (anticoagulants) such as warfarin (Coumadin).
Saw Palmetto
Uses: Saw palmetto has been most commonly used for enlargement of the prostate gland. Saw palmetto has also been touted as a diuretic and urinary antiseptic to prevent bladder infections. However, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), there is insufficient scientific evidence to support the use of saw palmetto for treatment of enlarged prostate or any other conditions.
Reactions: Saw palmetto can cause upset stomach. This herb may affect the action of the sex hormone testosterone, thereby reducing sexual drive or performance. Dr. Miller states that "While no drug-herb interactions have been documented to date, it would be prudent to avoid concomitant use with other hormonal therapies (for example, estrogen replacement therapy and oral contraceptives...")
This listing represents only a small portion of herbal treatments. Nevertheless, the popularity of herbal therapies is unquestionable. Doctors routinely confront the unknown with their patients who are using herbs. Doctors simply do not have any way of helping you to decide whether these herbs are helpful or harmful for you, or whether they are interacting with your current medications. There are no data.

Good Question: Do coupons really save us money?
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
In his recurring "Good Question" feature, WCCO's Jason DeRusha asked whether, in the final analysis, shoppers actually save money when they build their shopping strategies around coupons. While the segment features several "extreme couponers" who tout their shopping strategies, the Opus College of Business' James Heyman, chair of the school's marketing department, was much more phlegmatic. "Clearly there is much more than just financial decisions being made," Heyman told DeRusha. "For the heaviest of coupon users, it's as much sport than anything else."

Prescription Drug Abuse
PhRMA Helps Combat Prescription Drug Abuse
Prescription drug abuse continues to be a significant national problem, and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) remains deeply committed to fighting it. Through community education and collaboration with community leaders, PhRMA members are doing their part in helping to prevent and reduce drug abuse.
Prescription medications are generally safe, but only when they are taken as prescribed and for the intended purpose. When they are abused—taken in ways that are not prescribed—they can cause an array of adverse health effects, including overdose. The risk of injury or death is even greater when prescription medications are abused alongside other drugs or alcohol.
How prescription drugs are abused
Prescription and OTC drugs may be abused in one or more of the following ways:
- Taking a medication prescribed for somebody else.
- Taking a drug in a higher quantity or in another manner than prescribed.
- Taking a drug for another purpose than prescribed.
How big is the problem
According to the most recent national data, prescription medicines are the most commonly abused substance after marijuana. In 2011, more than six million Americans over age 12 reported abusing prescription drugs during the previous month.
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) notes that the three types of prescription drugs most commonly abused are:
- opioids
- central nervous system (CNS) depressants
- stimulants
While many of these abused medicines are produced by major pharmaceutical companies and feature recognizable brand names, it's important to recognize that the overwhelming majority of prescriptions filled at the retail level are filled with generic medicines. In 2011, only 9% of prescriptions filled at the retail level use brand-name medications.
What PhRMA is doing about it
Addressing the problem of prescription drug abuse is a shared responsibility, and there is no single solution. Government agencies at all levels, the American Medical Association, law enforcement, faith-based and other community organizations, pharmacists, schools, and parents must all work together to prevent misuse of prescription drugs.
The pharmaceutical industry partners with several stakeholders on programs that work to reduce prescription drug abuse and prevent prescription medicines from getting into the wrong hands. PhRMA initiatives aim to:
- Promote secure storage of prescription medicines,
- Educate about the safe disposal of unused or expired prescription medicines, and
- Strengthen law enforcement penalties for the diversion of prescription drug to unintended parties.
PhRMA promotes safe disposal of prescription medication
Unused portions of medications provide opportunities for abuse. For this reason as well as environmental concerns, PhRMA helps educate consumers about proper disposal of medications.
- PhRMA partners with the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the American Pharmacists Association on the SMARxT Disposal Program. This program informs people how to promptly and safely dispose of medicines in the trash.
- PhRMA supports the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Take-Back Day. The DEA's National Take Back Day allows patients to drop off expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs—which will be collected and destroyed by local law enforcement officials—at designated sites nationwide. The program is secure, free and anonymous.
- PhRMA supports the American Medicine Chest Challenge (AMCC), a community-based public health initiative with law enforcement partnership designed to raise awareness about the dangers of prescription drug abuse. The AMCC provides a nationwide day of disposal of unused, unwanted and expired medicine held in communities across the country.
PhRMA supports efforts to prevent prescription drug abuse
Alongside our efforts to ensure safe medicine disposal, PhRMA is engaged in programs working to prevent prescription drug abuse through patient and community education programs.
- PhRMA is a key partner with The Partnership at Drugfree.org (formerly known as the Partnership for a Drug-Free America), which helps parents prevent, intervene in, and find treatment for drug and alcohol use by their children. Collaborative efforts include developing appropriate educational materials and tracking attitudes toward prescription drug abuse among teens and other target groups.
- The Partnership has also developed, in concert with our member companies, a program called Rx 360. With funding from the Department of Health and Human Services and Purdue Pharma, this program trains local prevention and treatment experts to educate parents about teenage prescription drug abuse and how to prevent this behavior.
- PhRMA has partnered with the National Governor's Association to promote The Prescription Drug Abuse Reduction Policy Academy, a year-long exercise in strategic planning aimed at reducing prescription drug abuse.
- PhRMA supports the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Interconnect Program, which is the first national effort to coordinate interoperability among the various states' Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMP's).
- PhRMA has worked collaboratively with D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and law enforcement officials to develop a school curriculum to prevent abuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
PhRMA's principles on prescription drug abuse
PhRMA has developed the following guiding concepts for a comprehensive national strategy to reduce and prevent prescription drug abuse:
- Educate the public regarding the dangers of misusing and abusing prescription medicine. Equip parents, grandparents, teachers, and healthcare providers with the necessary knowledge and skills to deter prescription drug abuse, identify those in need of treatment, and provide appropriate treatment options to them.
- Ensure that policies to prevent prescription drug abuse also protect patients with a legitimate need for prescription medications.
- Promote a comprehensive approach and sustained commitment from all relevant healthcare stakeholders. These include federal, state, and local governments, brand-name and generic drug companies, healthcare providers, educators, family members, and others across the community.
These principles are consistent with many of the recommendations from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Six strategies to combat drug abuse
PhRMA has identified six specific policy strategies for reducing and preventing prescription drug abuse.
- Expand educational and awareness efforts for the public, healthcare stakeholders, and others.
- Enhance efforts to promote prevention, screening, intervention, and referral for treatment of prescription drug abuse throughout the healthcare system.
- Assess the effectiveness of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) and explore enhancements.
- Address challenges related to the research and development of new medicines to treat addiction and medicines with a reduced potential for abuse.
- Promote the enforcement of existing laws that can help deter abuse of prescription drugs as a key law-enforcement priority.
- Expand educational efforts related to the proper disposal of unused and expired prescription medicines and secure storage of prescription medicines.

Mike Florio talks with Corey Chavous of Draftnasty.com to talk the 2013 quarterback draft class and the other top position prospects. Then, Florio makes his 13-16 mock draft picks.
The press conference announcing the firing of a head coach and the promotion of a guy the fired coach had hired to serve as an assistant always entails some tightrope-walking by the new coach, who needs to express regret that his boss is gone while also expressing enthusiasm and preparation to embrace the challenge for cleaning up the mess that the new coach helped create.
On Tuesday, new Raiders interim coach Tony Sparano offered a clue as to how his approach may differ from Dennis Allen's.
"We've got a lot of good players here," Sparano said. "We need to let them do what they do best."
Assuming for the sake of argument that the Raiders have a lot of good players (quit laughing, Broncos, Chiefs, and Chargers fans), Sparano's comment could be interpreted as a disclosure that, under Allen, players were expected to fit the schemes. By saying that the Raiders need to let the players do what they do best, Sparano could be saying that he'll design plays and concepts based on the strengths and weaknesses of the players.
This assumes that the players have enough strengths (and sufficiently few weaknesses) for that to matter.
Running back LaMichael James appeared to be on his way out of San Francisco for much of the offseason, but the team wound up keeping him on their roster to start the regular season.
It was a brief stay, however. James was dropped after the first week of the regular season and has been looking for work since then. One spot he looked was Miami, where he worked out for the Dolphins a couple of weeks ago.
Nothing happened at the time, but it seems James did make a positive impression on the team. James's agent Jeff Sperbeck announced on Twitter Tuesday that his client has signed with the Dolphins.
The Dolphins haven't announced anything yet and they are on their bye week, so it may be a while before we find out what kind of role they have in mind for the former 49er. Knowshon Moreno isn't thought to be far off from rejoining Lamar Miller in the backfield, so a role as a returner might be part of the plan for James in South Florida.
New Raiders interim head coach Tony Sparano says he believes he can turn the team in the right direction after an 0-4 start led to the dismissal of former coach Dennis Allen.
"I'm excited," Sparano said at his introductory press conference. "Very excited about where we're going right now, what we're trying to do."
Sparano praised Allen as an "outstanding football coach" and said it was tough to see the man who was his boss until yesterday lose his job.
"This is obviously a bittersweet moment for me right now in that a great friend of mine and a person I respect a great deal in Dennis Allen was let go," he said. "That's unfortunately part of our business but this is the situation we're in right now."
Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie also spoke highly of Allen but said the move had to be made.
"I had a good talk with Dennis," he said. "I just want to say that I appreciate everything he's done. He worked hard, very diligent, but I had to make the move and I did that yesterday. Moving forward, I'm excited to bring before you a new interim head coach, Tony Sparano. I'm excited about the experience he brings, the leadership he brings, the passion he brings to get this organization, the Raider organization, to what we need to do, and that's win."
The Raiders haven't won at all this season and haven't won consistently since the Jon Gruden days. Unless Sparano can oversee a miraculous turnaround, fans may be clamoring for a return of Gruden after Sparano coaches out the last 12 games of 2014.
Deion Sanders says 49ers players want coach Jim Harbaugh to go. Harbaugh says it's a bunch of crap. The jurors (i.e., the players) are beginning to chime, and the early verdict is . . . .
"He's the best coach I've ever been around," tackle Jonathan Martin said, via the San Jose Mercury News. "Even though he might be cheesy at times with slogans and sayings, his enthusiasm rubs off on players. And his record speaks for itself."
Of course, Martin would be likely to say that, since Harbaugh coached Martin at Stanford and helped resurrect Martin's pro career after he decided to walk out on the Dolphins as the result of intense bullying in 2013. But Martin, who said he has seen no evidence of discord, wasn't alone.
"Everything's great," linebacker NaVorro Bowman said. "I mean, we play, he coach. We can't really control anything else."
(It's not exactly a ringing endorsement, but it's also no evidence that players want Harbaugh gone.)
Ditto from punter Andy Lee: "I don't see that anywhere in this locker room. From my point of view, everything is normal."
And from linebacker Michael Wilhoite: "His attitude is the attitude we take. That toughness, that grind, that grit — it's been bred in us since I first got here. It was known we were going to be tough. It was known we were going to have a callous that we had built up. It was known that we were very physical, we ran the ball, we stopped the run, we played good football and we were disciplined."
So maybe Deion is simply wrong. Or maybe there's a small pocket of malcontents who won't complain about Harbaugh on the record.
Or maybe Deion is playing a psychological game with one of the various teams for which he once played, like Tom Jackson once claimed he did when picking the Jets to lose to the Patriots in the playoffs.
Regardless, Deion's "report" that the players don't like their coach seems to be galvanizing the 49ers. Maybe in February Harbaugh will snub Deion after winning the Super Bowl like Bill Belichick once did with Jackson, who had proclaimed in September that the Patriots players "hate their coach."
The Texans are 3-1 even though they've only had rookie linebacker Jadeveon Clowney in the lineup for the first half of the first game of the season and the first overall pick in this year's draft said it has been "very tough" to be on the sideline for the last three weeks.
Clowney is recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee, a procedure that left him with a four-to-six week timetable for his return to the lineup. We're closing in on the front end of that projection, but Clowney said Tuesday that it will still be a bit more time before he thinks he'll be ready for a return to action.
"Everything is starting to come along just like I want it to. … I think I'll be back in a few weeks — that's the goal," Clowney said, via the Houston Chronicle. "Right now I'm just taking it day by day, just trying to get back healthy. Rehab is coming along good. My leg feels a lot better. I'm just taking it a day at a time right now."
J.J. Watt's weekly feats of strength have made it easier to forget that Clowney is supposed to be on the field causing more havoc for opposing offenses. If he can get back without too much rust accumulating on his game and the Texans can keep winning in his absence, Clowney's return could be a big factor in how the AFC South race plays out this season.
The Vikings have sounded optimistic, and they've sounded cautious.
The Packers are just assuming.
But those are subjective measures.
In the cold, calculating world of the NFL injury report, the news is quantifiable.
Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater did not participate in practice today, according to the Vikings' report submitted to the league. Linebacker Chad Greenway and tight end Kyle Rudolph didn't either, but that's not what you're here to read about.
With just one more day between doing nothing and playing the Packers Thursday night, the chances of Bridgewater playing might not appear great. But that's part of the reaility of short-week games anyway.
If he can't go, the Vikings would have to start Christian Ponder, and promote one of their practice squaders so they'd have a viable backup.
When reporters asked Patriots coach Bill Belichick about a burgeoning quarterback controversy, he shouldn't have scoffed. He should have been grateful.
The focus on Tom Brady has kept many from looking at the guy squarely responsible for the current state of the team — Belichick himself.
The head coach and de facto G.M. has been heralded as a genius for much of the last 13 years, and rightfully so. Belichick has found a way to keep the team competitive on a consistent basis in an age of parity and a salary cap.
But the quality of the roster has eroded in recent years. The offensive line presently stinks. While the departure of long-time line coach Dante Scarnecchia likely played a role in the ability of the line to play its role the right way, the players aren't good. Which makes the decision to dump guard Logan Mankins after he refused to take a pay cut even more bizarre. Belichick miscalculated the ability of the line to thrive without Mankins, and as a result the Patriots could miss the postseason for the first time since 2008.
No one can question Belichick's coaching ability. But when it comes to handling the personnel side of the operation, he's either losing his fastball or he needs more help. Because it's not enough to find ways to trade down or to draft backup quarterbacks lower than perhaps they should have gone. At some point, the players need to be good enough to play.
Right now, they're not. And that lands at the feet of the guy who runs the show.
The Texans have made a change at safety.
According to multiple reports, the team has waived safety Shiloh Keo and promoted Josh Aubrey to the 53-man roster.
Keo was a 2011 fifth-round pick in Houston who saw action in every game for the team in 2012 and 2013. He spent much of the 2013 season as a starter after the team's move for Ed Reed failed to pan out, but did little to suggest that he has a future in the league as a first-team defensive player. Keo had 63 tackles and an interception last year, but saw most of his other work on special teams and that's probably where any NFL future lies as well.
Aubrey had one tackle in six games with the Browns last year. He didn't make the team out of camp this year and spent a brief spell with the Seahawks before landing on Cleveland's practice squad.
It's not entirely Dennis Allen's fault that the Raiders stink. And so it was fitting that the guy who shares in the blame for the current state of the team made the official announcement that Allen has taken the fall for the team's predictable 0-4 start.
"After thorough evaluation, we have determined to move in another direction," G.M. Reggie McKenzie said in a statement released by the team. "We appreciate Dennis Allen's dedication to the organization and wish him and his family nothing but the best in the future."
The different direction, at least for now, will be offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, who took the Dolphins to a 29-33 record over four years before being fired after the 2011 season. It's hard to imagine the outcome being any different with Sparano than with Allen, given the lack of talent and other issues with the franchise.
But Sparano will have a far more extended opportunity to earn the job on an ongoing basis, given that 12 games remain on the schedule. That's actually better for the Raiders; it makes an artificial improvement in performance from players who prefer to keep the current staff less likely. Far too often, the interim coach has success in the last 2-3 games of the year, secures the job, and then the wheels come off.
The Raiders have scheduled a press conference for 5:00 p.m. ET. Even though the press release didn't include any quotes from owner Mark Davis, he presumably will be there. There's even a slim chance we'll see an overhead projector.
That last part is a joke. I think. It nevertheless will be interesting to see whether Mark Davis continues his father's habit of trying to find ways to stiff fired coaches out of the balance of their remaining salary.
In The Terminator, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger's robot from the future who said "I'll be back" while trying to stop Sarah Connor from becoming the mother of mankind's future savior John Connor.
We're not sure if fullback John Conner, dubbed "The Terminator" by Rex Ryan when the Jets drafted him in 2010, said the same thing when the Jets released him in 2012, but he made good on the promise if he did. The Jets announced Tuesday that Conner is back with the club.
He'll take the spot of fullback Tommy Bohanon, who broke his collarbone against the Lions. Bohanon suffered the injury early in the game, but, in a move any time traveling cyborg could appreciate, was able to remain on the field for the duration of the contest.
Conner played 13 games for the Giants last season, but lost a training camp battle to Henry Hynoski this summer and has been unemployed since the Giants dropped him as part of their cut to 53 players.
Veteran tailback Ben Tate suffered a knee injury in Week One. Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell performed well in his absence. Now that he's back, will there be enough touches to go around?
"We'll see," Tate told reporters on Tuesday, via comments distributed by the team.
As to who'll get the carries, the answer is less unclear.
"Whoever's got the hot hand and whoever's going to get us the win, that's who we're going to roll with," West said.
That's a far cry from Tate's assessment before the season that he's the starter and there's no competition.
"I probably would have said the same thing," West said. "Everybody should have that personality coming onto the field. If you're on the field, you should think you're the best. If you don't you shouldn't be out there."
West has emerged as the top option for the Browns, with 47 carries for 204 yards and two touchdowns. Crowell has 27 attempts for 141 yards and three scores.
Tate exited the Week One loss to the Steelers with only six carries for 41 yards.
The bye week has done some good for Browns tight end Jordan Cameron.
Cameron said Tuesday that the sprained AC joint in his right shoulder is feeling better than it did heading into the bye week.
"I feel good. I feel healthy," Cameron said, via Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.
There's room for an asterisk next to Cameron feeling healthy, though. He also said that he thinks the injury, which he initially suffered in the preseason and aggravated in the season opener, is going to linger throughout the season. That's not great news for the Browns offense, which still has a while to go before wide receiver Josh Gordon will return to the lineup.
It's also not great news for Cameron, who is eligible for free agency after the season. Cameron has already missed one game because of the injury and had just one catch in Week Three, a pattern that would likely have a deflating effect on any contract offers that will come his way if it were to continue for the remaining 13 weeks of the regular season.
The Redskins played last Thursday night and lost to the Giants in a rout that was made all the worse by the departure of left tackle Trent Williams with a knee injury.
Any initial fears of a season-ending injury subsided on Friday, but his presence in Week Five is still anything but certain. Williams didn't practice on Tuesday and said that his knee still needed to "calm down," but he remains hopeful that he'll be able to play on Monday night against the Seahawks.
"I'll probably let it calm down a little bit," Williams said, via CSNWashington.com. "Hopefully no setback. I'll probably get it reevaluated before the game and hopefully — I'll leave it up to coach — but hopefully I can be out there."
Williams may have company when it comes to returning from a recent injury. Tight end Jordan Reed participated in individual drills on Tuesday, which marks a notable step forward in his recovery from a hamstring injury suffered in the season opener. Getting Reed back would be a plus for the offense, especially if Niles Paul can't go because of the concussion he suffered against the Giants.
Well, at least Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has healthy receivers this year.
Offensive linemen, not so much.
The Falcons just announced a flurry of moves, which included putting two more starting offensive linemen on injured reserve.
They announced that center Joe Hawley (knee) and right tackle Lamar Holmes (foot) were going on IR, where they'll join left tackle Sam Baker (knee).
They also placed safety William Moore (shoulder) on IR/designated for return, which will allow him to come back after eight weeks.
To fill the roster spots, the Falcons promoted guard Harland Gunn and safety Sean Baker from the practice squad, and signed former Jaguars tackle Cameron Bradfield.
That's going to make a real hash of their offensive line, but no worse than it was Sunday, when they had to use tight end Levine Toilolo as their right tackle to finish the game when injuries collected at one spot.
Two days after Mike Tomlin bristled at being termed a "player's coach," during a pregame interview, he said he mostly bristles at the broad characterization it creates.
Tomlin told reporters Tuesday that he doesn't necessarily take it as an insult, but that he's insulted by the undertones the phrase carries.
"I refuse to be put in a box. It's my job to be what my team needs me to be," Tomlin said, via Scott Brown of ESPN.com. "Sometimes it's close and cuddly and sometimes it's not. I don't have any problem being any of the above.
"Sometimes when they couple 'player's coach' with questions about how I wear my hair or what I choose to wear on the sidelines or what type of music I listen to, then it gets kind of old and falls into that category for me. I'd like to think the manner in which I do my job, whether it's positive or negative, has very little to do with my haircut or the clothes that I wear or the type of music I listen to, and that's when I get annoyed with that line of questioning."
Tomlin's got a point, and it's no different than the way players are characterized.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton got compared to players such as Michael Vick or Donovan McNabb before being drafted, even though he played more like Ben Roethlisberger.
Certain players are tagged as "athletic" and "instinctive" and certain players are "lunch pail guys" or "coaches on the field."
And too often in the lazy telling of stories, those phrases fall along strict lines that just happen to coincide with the color of the players' skin.
To that end, we agree with Tomlin. He's not necessarily a player's coach, any more than Dick LeBeau is.
He's just a good one.

While I am not new to Linux, I still have some confusion. My dilemma is: "What distro to use and why?" I have tried various flavors of Linux, but I am still a little baffled about which distro I should choose. One of my hurdles is my laptop, because it has a broadcom chipset for the wireless card, but I did get it working once with Fedora, so I know it is possible. What really makes one distro better than the other? They all use the same basic kernel, KDE, or Gnome, have a package manager, etc., right?
So, which distro and why?
BTW, love your magazine.
Jeff Gillivan
As a magazine for the whole Linux community, we try to avoid choosing sides in the great distribution debate.
The choice of a favorite Linux flavor is often a matter of taste. Some distros offer access to a huge variety of applications out of the box, and others attempt to add value by simplifying the menus to reduce clutter. Some are targeted for home users, whereas others are outfitted for business. And each Linux has a distinctive visual style.
The installers are getting better at finding hardware, so some of the hardware detection differences between the distributions are disappearing. Still, getting Linux to work with your devices is one of the biggest challenges, so if you have a distribution that works well with your hardware, and you are satisfied with it, why not keep using it?
If you feel like experimenting, the Live boot option included with many Linux variants will provide a convenient preview of how the Linux release will work with your system.
Security Practices
I noticed that there were no sections solely dedicated to security practices for desktop and server usage as a whole, although you do have some articles pertaining to security lessons in the Sysadmin section.
It would be nice to have a "Security Practices" section for the casual desktop user and the beginner/novice system administrator.

Roughing it has become routine for tenants in Detroit's Lafayette Towers Apartments.One tenant, Larry Hill, shows Fox 2's Randy Wimbley his set-up of multiple space heaters and an electric blanket on his bed, saying "it's extremely cold.""I had to turn the oven on last night to kind of keep it warm in the apartment," Jacob Spalding tells us. "I'm 70 years old, and living under these conditions is just ridiculous," says Gabrielle McEadey.Tenants are all pointing the finger at the new owner of Lafayette Towers, Greg Jackson. He bought the property last year and committed to make 16 million dollars worth of improvements, which was to include a new heating system."He was listing so many things that he was going to do in the building - upgrades. We were going to have a coffee shop, but the main thing was he was going to address the repairs that needed to be done," McEadey says. Fox 2 contacted Jackson to find out why the tenants do not have any heat right now. Jackson told us he's spending half a million dollars to install 10 boilers, but the workers doing the job were caught off guard with the cold weather."Since it got cold they're supposed to be doing some renovations or something like that. I don't know why they waited all summer to start until now," Spalding says. The property manager for Lafayette Towers released this statement: "While conducting seasonal maintenance on the boilers in Lafayette Towers Apartments, our maintenance personnel encountered unforeseen mechanical issues with the boilers. Contractors are on site, repairs are underway and we expect residents to have heat within 24 hours. Beyond the immediate repairs, the building owners have ordered significant replacements for the boilers and are in the process of caulking and weatherproofing the building. This is all part of a $16 million renovation to Lafayette Towers Apartments, an iconic Detroit building constructed in 1963. We regret any inconvenience this has caused our residents."-Scott Allen, President FOURMIDABLE Real Estate ManagementJackson says the heat should be on within 72 hours.

In my last post, I told you about being contacted by Room214.com for a short spot on the Blahg about the Travel Channel's "Man v. Food"episode featuring some of Springfield's favorite eateries. I was promised a "Man v. Food" T-shirt for spreading the word. Well, it arrived! You can see me, to the right, using it to intimidate my fridge.
We left for vacation they day after the episode aired and got around to watching it a few days after we got back, as part of our post-vacation recovery. It's funny to see your town on a national television show. Being both the capitol of Illinois and the hometown of Abe Lincoln, Springfield gets its fair share of airtime on various shows, so seeing Springfield on TV is nothing new. Seeing Springfield on "Man v. Food" was different, though, because it was about places I've been to and enjoyed with friends, rather than a museum or historical site (I enjoy those too, by the way).
Adam's first stop was the Cozy Dog Drive-In, mythical (and disputed) birthplace of the corn dog. Cozy dog, I tend to forget about you, because you're off my regular path. You can thank "Man v. Food" for reminding me of how great your corn dogs and burgers are. It was interesting to learn about the invention of the patented cozy dog food handler (a.k.a. the semi-automatic cozy dog maker), created by Ed Waldmire, the original owner of the Cozy Dog. The business is still in the family, too, which is great to see.
Next was D'Arcy's Pint, which is a favorite of mine. Here, the show featured the horseshoe. A horseshoe, for you outsiders, is a piece of bread, generally Texas toast, on a plate and topped with your choice of meat. Next, golden French fries are piled high. Finally, the ENTIRE THING is topped with a gooey, irresistible cheese sauce. The cheese sauce is what sets D'Arcy's shoes apart from many of the other horseshoes in town. "Man v. Food" featured the hamburger shoe. Personally, I think Adam would have enjoyed the buffalo chicken shoe more. I was a little surprised, in fact, to learn the hamburger shoe is the best seller. I make my way to D'Arcy's every few weeks. I don't get a horseshoe every time, however, for two main reasons. The first is that D'Arcy's has many other wonderful things to dine on besides cheese-covered fries, bread and meat. The second reason is I don't want to die. Great tasting food is always terrible for you, and the horseshoe is no exception. If you visit Springfield and dare to try this delicacy, start off with the ponyshoe which, as the name implies, is a smaller version. This is generally what I get, because being taken out of a restaurant in a wheelbarrow is embarrassing. Have your first one at D'Arcy's but be prepared to wait for a table during dinner hours. A friend of mine even started a D'Arcy's Pint Fan Club Facebook page, so join up!
Lastly, Adam visited Joe Rogers Chili Parlor on Ninth Street. The second half of the show took place here because Adam's challenge was to top the record-setting score of downing five bowls of Joe Rogers "Firebrand" chili. I've had Firebrand, too. Yep, it's hot! I remember this used to be called something like the J.R. Special, but it was re-labeled Firebrand a few years ago. I don't know the entire story behind it, so if you do, please leave a comment!
The Joe Rogers portion of the show starts off with a lesson on how they make the chili at Joe's. It was neat to see behind the scenes. Afterward, Adam works the crowd a bit before the big challenge. The woman whom he convinces to try a spoonful of Firebrand is the wife of one of my co-workers. I lol'd hard at her reaction.
Adam is good at hamming up the situation and does it in an entertaining way. During the Firebrand challenge, I can only imagine the pain as he's downing the bowls. He starts to suffer early on, but I think he's really serious about it around bowl three. He is a professional eater of hot and spicy food and probably has a bit higher tolerance than us mere mortals. One bowl is enough for me. A bowl full is a lot of chili and I don't think I could fit more than one. Sadly, he couldn't beat the record of five bowls of Firebrand. He did tie, however, so congrats to him!
Joe Rogers has much more than just incredibly hot chili. You can get several levels of spice and I guarantee you'll find one to your liking. You can also get chili dogs, tamales and a few other items. Bring cash on your trip to Joe Rogers because they don't take plastic. They are open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

Entertainment | Food | Springfield
A few months ago, you may have heard of or read some of the local buzz about the Travel Channel's Man v. Food episode shot here, in our very own Springfield, Ill.
Filmed in July, the episode will air at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, on channel 62 (Springfield/Comcast). The host, Adam Richman, will be chugging corn dogs at the Cozy Dog Drive-In, hammering down horseshoes at D'Arcy's Pint (join the group!), and feasting on five six bowls (maybe!) of Firebrand chili at Joe Roger's Chili Parlor. I've heard of the show, but haven't watched it before. My TiVo is ready to go, so I'm all set.
I'm writing about this not just to tell you about a show you may or may not have already planned on watching. There is another reason, and it has to do with how companies are either embracing or shunning online social media.
I received an e-mail today from someone at Room214.com asking if I would post some information about the upcoming show here, on the blog. Room214, as it says in big letters on their site, is a social media agency. After a few minutes of clicking around their site, it seems they are an ad agency who draws in business for their clients by leveraging the almost countless supply of bloggers, Twitterers, Facebookers, etc. to spread the word in exchange for a little something. I was offered a Man v. Food T-shirt. Why me? Well, this blahg of mine says Springfield, Ill., all over it. I would imagine drumming up hometown excitement for a show or an event is part of what they do.
I'm posting this because I think it's interesting to see how individuals and corporations are either interacting with or reacting to the Internet. There are so many headlines these days of some company issuing C&D (cease and desist) letters (or worse) to other companies or individuals for doing something they didn't like online. I won't go into details or give case examples because you most likely already know what I'm talking about. These seem to end in online backlash and bad press for the bully-company. On the other hand, there are cases, such as this, where non-traditional approaches are being taken to advertising and human interaction. Companies are actually asking us to talk about them, post their content (mileage varies heavily in this aspect), remix or parody their content, and a slew of other things those companies I mentioned earlier would have your head for. I can imagine the old-school corporate types having their doubts about following this path. As a blogger, however, I can tell them it's welcomed and appreciated. Just don't screw it up for yourselves by pulling a 180 in the future. I know this is nothing new, but we're still at a point where the negative experiences with issues such as this are still outnumbering the positive ones.
As for Room214, I did a little research on them before deciding to post this. The e-mail was entirely out of the blue, after all, so I wanted to know a bit more about the company. It turns out Room214 had a little online snafu of its own not quite a year ago. Search for Room214 online to find out more, but to summarize, there was a Twitter incident brought to the masses in large part by Kevin Rose involving the user twitter.com/room214 and Room214.com. Details are a little sketchy with the passage of time, but, apparently, this Twitter user was fearing the loss of his account to Room214.com. A co-founder of Room214.com responded - see the comments on the site - (video here, more here) and apologized for what became a mess out of a misunderstanding. Kudos to Room214.com for handling it the right way. Just for that, I'll gladly post what you sent me about Man v. Food (P.S., size XL please )
What is Travel Channel's Man v. Food? Host Adam Richman sets out to travel the country in search of the best places to do some serious indulging. Adam's quest brings him to some of the greatest traditional food the nation can serve up, and he takes on some epic food challenges along the way. Watch the series to find out who wins when Man takes on Food. Springfield Episode Details Adam's first stop in Springfield is to Cozy Dog Drive-In, which is a historical diner on iconic Route 66. This place is literally the "home of the corn dog" as rumor has it they invented this tasty batter-covered hot dog. Adam gets to see the homemade invention the restaurant still uses to fry 'em up. The diner serves up over 500 cozy dogs every day and they look delicious! Next up Adam visits D'Arcy's Pint for a Springfield specialty: the horseshoe. What the heck is a horseshoe? Only one of the best hangover foods around! It's an open-faced sandwich made with Texas toast, your favorite meat (hamburger is the most popular), a mound of crinkle fries, and homemade cheese sauce. D'Arcy's makes over 700 horseshoes a day in over 500 variations! For the main challenge, Adam hits up Joe Rogers Chili Parlor to try the Firebrand Chili Challenge. This extra hot chili is 9x hotter than the normal chili they serve. Tens of thousands have tried to eat it, but only 2,000 have succeeded in finishing one bowl. Adam is upping the ante by trying to beat the current record of 5 bowls of this fire-hot food. Will he do it? Tune-in Wednesday at 10 E/P to find out! In the meantime, check out this sneak peek video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AebN1VFBGVI
As far as these restaurants go, I've been to them all many times and love each one. After moving to Central Illinois, I was amazed that a meal like the horseshoe was not only socially acceptable but also loved. D'Arcy's 'shoes quickly made a believer out of me. Do your heart a favor, though, and go for the ponyshoe, the smaller version. I don't get out to the Cozy Dog much, but if you go there, try other things on their menu, too, instead of stuffing yourself entirely with delicious corn dogs. Their burgers are great. Lastly, I've had bowls of Firebrand (formerly "JR Special" . I don't know the story of that) many times, but not five bowls all at once. I just don't think I have the capacity. One bowl fills me up.

Most Springfielders are familiar with Washington Park, one of the city's most popular parks.
I first learned of the park in the spring of 2003, shortly after I moved to Springfield. Before coming to Central Illinois, I really hadn't been much of a park person. Other places I lived had parks, and I went to them occasionally for events, etc., but never just to enjoy the weather, the scenery, or to exercise. As the new guy in town, without any relatives or past friends close by, I became open to trying new things. Getting out to the park for a few laps after work and on the weekends became a new pastime.
Having lived here for several years now, my relationship with Washington Park has been on the outs. I've found many other things to fill my free time since then. I was recently re-acquainted with my old friend, however, with the purchase of a new DSLR camera earlier this year.
The park makes for an excellent place to practice photography. It's large, there are tons of plant life (obviously), park animals are everywhere, and there's the occasional large event. I don't take pictures of random strangers, though, because that just feels creepy . ducks and squirrels never seem to mind.
Where is all this leading, you may wonder? I was trying out some new digital camera toys in the park last month and noticed the first signs of fall. Some of the trees in the park already began to change from green to autumn colors. There aren't a lot of trees in my neighborhood, so it didn't really hit me summer was coming to an end until that time. I sat on a bench, snapping a photo of the Thomas Rees Carillon (pictured above), when I thought it would be neat to take the same photo of a spot in the park each week for a few months, detailing the gradual change from summer to winter.
I wouldn't doubt something like this has been done before in this very same park, but I wanted to try it myself. My plan is to take the same shot of the Carillon each weekend (give or take) until the leaves are gone and the park is snow-covered. Once the photo collection is complete, I'll make a movie of them to illustrate the transition.
I'll admit I'm not being too scientific about this. I haven't lugged along the tripod, so far, and my point of reference is what I see while sitting on that bench I mentioned (let's hope they don't decide to move it). There will be many things I can't necessarily control, either, like the lighting and weather conditions on the days when I have time to do this. Because this is a just-for-fun project, I don't think I'll necessarily have to go to extreme lengths to get the results I want. I'll chime in on the blog every now and then with an update. I'll share details regarding how I'm doing the project and what I've learned from it.
Below are a few of the beginning shots. The photo on the left is from Sept. 13 and the photo on the right is from Oct. 4. The lighting conditions on these days were different, but you can see a little less green in October's picture. It's hard to tell because of the sunlight, but if you look closely you can see what is green and what is turning. Hope you enjoy the project.

LAFAYETTE, GA (WRCB) -- When the housing market crashed, with it went kitchen appliance companies like Roper in North Georgia, which was forced to lay off nearly 300 in 2009.
Most have now returned, and Roper is set to add more as the housing market shows signs of promise.
"What we're trying to do is anticipate [for] 2013," Roper Human Resources manager Rhonda Beasley said. "We think we're going to hire around 100 people, all part time positions,"
Which is good news for the hundreds that showed up Friday for Roper's job fair in Lafayette.
"I saw this advertised on the news about two hours ago, I got dressed and came right over," Earl Albertson said.
Albertson was one of 250 people who applied in the first 90 minutes. Earl is looking for a steady paycheck and has been doing anything he can to stay off of welfare.
"Just to survive I've been doing any odd jobs I can find," he says. "Painting houses, repairing garages, lawn and yard work…anything I can do."
Applicants are aware that Roper doesn't have room for everybody, but as Stacey Deberry put it, a chance is better than nothing. "Just knowing that I have bills to pay and take care of at least I know I've got a chance of getting a job," she said. "It's crazy not being able to work."
Roper says they're not going to hire more than they need, and these part time hires may turn into something more.
"If in 2013 we have the need for full time positions we'll use our part time to fuel those, and if we don't and sales don't continue to grow stronger then we'll use the part timers as our flexibility and it protects our full time employees long term job security," Beasley explained.
Beasley says there are too many unknowns to go on a full-time hiring spree, and those in the hunt say staying positive is all you can do.
"It's tough just keep your head up and search the Internet. Keep on keeping on," said James Terry.
If you missed Friday's job fair, Roper says you can contact the Georgia Department of Labor. They plan to have the hires made within a few months.

Is a 'stretch' IRA right for you?
Examine the costs and benefits of stretching your IRA
By Chuck Epstein, InvestorPlace.com
Mutual funds information and IRA information is becoming a hotter commodity by the day.
Too many New Year's resolutions never get realized, but if you want to increase your odds of attaining a more fruitful financial future for you and your heirs, you should consider a stretch IRA.
The tax laws governing Individual retirement Accounts (IRAs) are very specific, but by applying a different type of strategy you and your beneficiaries can reap some significant benefits. This strategy is called a "stretch" IRA and it can be done by almost anyone who owns an IRA.
Related Article: Fed's Move Backfires as T-Notes Plunge
The idea is to name younger beneficiaries and then split your IRA into smaller IRAs so the withdrawal period can be "stretched out" over the lifetime of the other beneficiaries. When this stretching happens, the assets in the beneficiaries' account grow tax-deferred over the longer life spans of the younger beneficiaries. Since Albert Einstein called compound interest "the greatest mathematical discovery of all time," it has been successfully employed in the stretch IRA, which uses a distribution based on the longer life expectancies of the beneficiaries.
By contrast, in a standard IRA when an IRA beneficiary dies and gives an equal amount to a spouse and a child, the distributions are based on the lifespan of the oldest beneficiary. Since tax deferred compounding is so powerful, the stretch strategy could produce a significant return, especially when it is bequested to a young beneficiary.
To set up a stretch IRA, make sure you do the following:
- Choose your beneficiaries correctly. This strategy works best when people who are young enough to take full advantage of tax-deferred growth over time.
- Establish separate IRAs for each beneficiary and combine your IRA assets. If you have a 401(k), consider rolling that into your IRA. Your IRA should then be divided into separate IRA accounts for each person you name as a beneficiary.
- Tell your beneficiaries about this strategy. This account will be registered in your name. Be careful that the account registration is correct since this could violate the "stretch" provision, and its benefits.
- Get professional help. While the concept is simple, setting up a stretch IRA requires professional assistance. Mistakes can trigger serious consequences, which result in overpayments or, at worse, voiding the gains of an entire lifetime of asset accumulation by paying penalties and additional taxes.

The assistance of a trained professional is important. Even within the stretch IRA category, this structure has different features in a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or when using spousal or non-spouse beneficiaries as part of an overall estate plan.
While IRAs present good opportunities for tax deferrals, there are very specific conditions which must be met in order to reap the benefits of an IRA. Here are five guidelines that highlight common mistakes to avoid, according to Ed Slott, a CPA and nationally-recognized authority on IRA distributions.
1. Stay Current on IRA Regulations.
The IRS regularly interprets regulations and rules through private letter rulings, exemptions and case law. These changes affect current tax regulations and how beneficiaries are treated. Common mistakes can be costly. For instance, one financial advisor did not act quickly enough when managing an IRA rollover because he took longer than the 60-day allotted period. This resulted in a costly penalty for the innocent beneficiary.
2. Mind Inheritance Rules of IRAs.
The IRS has specific rules on who can inherit and IRA and how they should receive it. I one frequently cited case, a woman inherited a $400,000 IRA from her father. Her broker told her to roll the IRA directly into her own IRA. This was a mistake. The IRS says that once inherited IRA funds are distributed to non-spousal beneficiaries, the tax-sheltered status ends and the distribution becomes taxable.
3. Take Advantage of Tax Breaks
IRS regulations are complex and frequently change. As a result, many professionals, including accountants and lawyers, may not know about all the tax breaks available to individuals. One good example concerns something called "Income in Respect of a Descedent." This provision says that if an IRA is inherited from an estate that pays federal estate tax, the beneficiary is eligible to deduct about 40% of the IRA's income tax. This is a deduction which is commonly overlooked by accountants. In one case, Slott reviewed a client's situation and saved her $838,000 in missed deductions, even after she had paid her lawyer $50,000 and they still missed this deduction.

4. Take Time to Accurately Complete Custody and Beneficiary Forms
While this looks like a simple process, something as easy as checking the wrong box can have serious, expensive consequences, according to Slott. This can mean that people should frequently update their beneficiary forms, due to deaths in the family or divorces, for instance. In one case, a woman died and left her $1 million retirement plan to her husband in her will. But years before, the woman named her sister as the sole beneficiary. The beneficiary document over-rode the will, so the sister got to keep the money.
5. Use Trusts to Distribute Proceeds
Trusts are a time-tested method of distributing money over time to named beneficiaries. Trusts can preserve the intentions of the deceased and keep the money working longer for beneficiaries over time, especially if the beneficiaries have proven they cannot control their spending. While trusts are proven, they also create tax and accounting issues.
