Record seizure at border
Canadian customs agents at the Pacific Highway Truck Crossing seized 49.5 kilograms (109 pounds) and $65,000 in U.S. Currency on June 14. It was the largest cocaine bust customs has made at a land crossing in western Canada the third largest at a land crossing in Canadian history.
Agents were first alerted to the possible presence of the illicit cargo by detector dog Speed, a Labrador retriever with less than a year of service with the agency.
Customs said they recovered a duffle bag containing cocaine bricks and a backpack full of the cash in the cab of a semi driven by Gurjant Singh Sandu of Surrey, B.C. The truck was returning from a trip to California. Sandu was an employee of an unnamed trucking company.
That much cocaine would yield a quarter million doses, which is how customs measures drug seizures. Thats whats important that these wont make it into the schoolyards, customs communications manager Paula Shore said.
Sandu has been charged with importing a narcotic and possession with intent to traffic. His first court appearance was set for June 20.
This is the second large drug haul for the Customs services Pacific Highway District this year. Agents seized 22 kilograms (44 pounds) at the Aldergrove port of entry in May.

European m-commerce is expected to grow 510% from 2010 through 2012.
Apparently, Europeans, like U.S. consumers, are taking to the notion of making purchases through their mobile phones. And that bodes well for retailers investing in mobile commerce.
By the end of this year, mobile commerce in a group of 13 Western European countries will have grown 510% since 2010, going from 2.4 billion Euros ($3.2 billion) to 14.6 billion Euros ($19.5 billion) by the end of 2012, predicts a report commissioned by shopping search engine Kelkoo and conducted by the Centre for Retail Research.
The projection includes sales from such products as flowers, digital downloads, furniture, software, sporting goods, tickets and video games, Kelkoo says.
One major reason for this dramatic increase is the number of European mobile subscribers with smartphones. The research found that 38% of mobile subscribers in the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland had smartphones, accounting for 122.8 million devices.
In comparison, 48% of U.S. mobile phone users had smartphones in January, according to research giant Nielsen.
High rates of smartphone adoption are essential to mobile commerce, and this research suggests retailers in the United States and Europe can expect continued m-commerce growth.
The European research also provides some insight into how much consumers spend on mobile commerce. At $302, the United Kingdom had the highest average m-commerce sales per smartphone user in 2011. The least was $36.08 among Italian smartphone users. The average was $156.37 for the year.
On either side of the Atlantic, mobile retailers have a lot to be excited about.

One Dad's Ill-Fated Battle Against the Princesses
…There is no one theme that has anywhere near the prominence and influence that Disney Princesses do. Regardless of the more recent generations of empowered princesses in Disney movies, the overall princess trope promotes traditional notions of femininity and an unhealthy focus on physical beauty. Even the most feminist-friendly princess derives her social currency, her political power, and her personal identity as "princess" from the make-believe patriarchy.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Atlanta Hawks' challenging West Coast road trip was made more difficult by a flu virus that spread throughout the team.
It also made this victory even more significant.
Kyle Korver scored 22 points, reserve Lou Williams had 21 and the Hawks beat Sacramento 112-96 on Friday night for their ninth consecutive win against the Kings.
Al Horford had 20 points and 10 rebounds for Atlanta after missing the last game with the flu bug. Horford watched the Hawks lose to Golden State on Wednesday while lying in bed in the team hotel.
"This trip has been a little frustrating, but we felt winning tonight and going home with a 2-2 record solidified this trip," Horford said. "I was sluggish tonight and it took a while for me to get going, but I tried to bring as much energy as I could. This was a very solid win for us."
Atlanta shot 55 per cent, including an 8-for-15 performance from beyond the arc, while recording a season-high point total. The Hawks outrebounded the Kings 42-37 and had 24 assists.
"We can be a real up-and-down team, we know that," Atlanta coach Larry Drew said. "We preach moving the basketball. We emphasize sharing the basketball and we did a really good job of that. Guys were finding each other all over the place and when we play like that we're a fun team to watch."
The struggling Kings were outscored by 14 in both the first and third quarters. They held a players-only meeting after their fourth consecutive loss.
"We just put it all on the table. We talked about what we needed to do and what it's going to take to help this team get better," centre DeMarcus Cousins said. "We were all in a bad mood."
Josh Smith had 19 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and Jeff Teague scored 13 of his 15 points in the first quarter for Atlanta, which starts a stretch Monday of seven of eight games at home.
The Hawks carried an 86-70 lead into the fourth quarter and maintained at least an 11-point advantage the rest of the way.
"This was a strange trip with everyone getting sick," Williams said. "We had guys not playing, guys playing sick, but we persevered and got through it. We wanted to break even on this trip before we headed back to Atlanta to get prepared for our homestand."
Korver went 5 for 5 from 3-point range. He also had seven rebounds and a rare two-handed dunk on a breakaway.
"I was open and my teammates were finding me," he said. "I struggled early in the season, but I've been in a good rhythm lately and my shot is starting to feel right."
Jason Thompson had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings. Marcus Thornton had 17 points, Tyreke Evans finished with 14 and Aaron Brooks scored 13.
Cousins returned after he was suspended the previous two games for a verbal altercation with San Antonio TV analyst Sean Elliott. Cousins, who was whistled for a technical foul in the third quarter, had nine points, 16 rebounds and seven assists, but missed 11 of 15 shots.
"He was rusty, he has been out of rhythm for two games," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "Sometimes you come back and you're probably being hard on yourself, trying to get out of a slump. We're having a very rough time and it's not fun for anyone."
Ahead by 12 points, Smith had a dunk, Horford hit two free throws, and Ivan Johnson scored from close range, increasing the lead to 98-80 with 7:55 left in the fourth.
The Hawks squandered a big second-quarter lead, but came out strong in the third, outscoring Sacramento 28-14.
Korver played a key role in a 9-0 run in the third. He began the spurt with a 3-pointer and finished it off with a long jumper, putting the Hawks ahead 81-69 with just over three minutes left in the period.
Sparked by their second unit, the Kings got going with a season-best 36-point second quarter. Brooks was the catalyst, making three 3-pointers and scoring 13 points in helping cut the margin from 18 early in the period to 58-56 by halftime.
NOTES: Evans, who entered the game 1 of 11 on 3-pointers, hit his first attempt in the opening quarter. ... Drew was a starting guard for the first Sacramento Kings team that relocated from Kansas City for the 1985-86 season. ... Kings small forward James Johnson was wearing glasses for the first time this season. The glasses didn't help the poor-shooting Johnson, who was 1 for 7 from the field. ... In a shooting slump the previous five games, the Hawks shot 58 per cent in the first quarter and led 34-20 after one.

HENRI TAYLOR - Resting (2011)

""Perfectly boring," wrote the New York Times' Hilton Kramer of William Eggleston's exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in 1976—the first major museum exhibition of color photography. What he (and the many other critics who panned the show) did not anticipate was that Eggleston's exhibition would be the watershed moment for color photography. Alongside Eggleston in the late 1960s and '70s, Joel Sternfeld, Stephen Shore, Richard Misrach, and a host of American photographers exploded the boundaries of photography through the use of color. After the fact, these artists were grouped by the term New American Color Photography; in concert with their use of color, these artists focused on contemporary life, presenting raw portraits of suburbia and critiques of "The American dream.""

OLIVER WOODS - From the series Red Star, Black Gold (2009)
"In February 2009 I took the trans-Manchurian express on a two day train journey from Beijing to the Russian border. My destination was a small mining town called Zhalai Nuer in Inner Mongolia. The town was still in the grip of a harsh Siberian winter that made it feel like I had come to the end of the world.
The area is rich in coal and the town's main landmark is its massive open cast coalmine, called Lutien mine. Around forty old fashioned steam trains were working there day and night, hauling coal from the pit. The mine had become a mecca for railway enthusiasts from all over the world: Australia, South Africa, Germany, Britain and America. But by spring of the following year the trains would all be scrapped, passed over as inefficient and costly. "It's the last great steam show left on earth" one of them told me mournfully.
The remoteness of Zhalai Nuer and its proximity to Mongolia and Russia fascinated me. Was this the last place in this part of China where people could be truly called Chinese before they started to become another nationality?" (Oliver Woods; read more)

LIFE Behind the Picture: The Photo That Changed the Face of AIDS
"In November 1990 LIFE magazine published a photograph of a young man named David Kirby — his body wasted by AIDS, his gaze locked on something beyond this world — surrounded by anguished family members as he took his last breaths. The haunting image of Kirby on his death bed, taken by a journalism student named Therese Frare, quickly became the one photograph most powerfully identified with the HIV/AIDS epidemic that, by then, had seen millions of people infected (many of them unknowingly) around the globe."

This offering has typical black cherry and tea-like aromas, indicative of Alexander Valley Cabernet, but with nice shades of vanilla and toasty oak. Although this wine is not as plush or jammy as previous vintages, it has a silky texture with abundant black cherry fruit that makes it quite appealing now. It was
crafted to be more elegant than powerful. It finishes soft with complex, earthy soil flavors. This wine is a joy to drink now, but will become more multi faceted aromatically and even more delicious and elegant with additional bottle age.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by liondoc Conference Stay at the Venetian Beautiful comfortable room. Unfortunately, had to move after 2 nights due to construction noise on the floor above. Not sure why we were put in a room that would have a noise issue from noon to 9:00PM on the third day of our stay. Inconvenient to pack up and move, but the staff took care of us and made it efficient. Moved to a room overlooking the pool area where a party with a live band was taking place. Very noisy until after 10:00PM. We had an early flight out the next morning so were on the verge of asking to be moved again when the band stopped. 25 September 2014

An unlikely sensation: The interior design on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's hooded sweatshirt has generated a mini press sensation. It's the tech industry equivalent of a trashy summer news story.
Two major efforts are under way to bring 3D graphics to the Web: Flash and WebGL. It's not clear which, if either, will prevail--but Microsoft holds the swing vote.
The Khronos Group has released its technology for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics on the Web. Now allies have to coax Microsoft to support it.
Advanced audio and other features show Adobe's commitment to Flash even as it embraces HTML. Also: 64-bit Flash due to arrive with Flash 11.
The new version brings fast 3D graphics and a packaging technology to build Flash directly into apps. Also: Adobe adjusts to new Web technologies.
The Samsung WF520 5-cubic-foot VRT Plus PowerFoam Steam Washer combines advanced features and a large capacity drum for family-friendly laundry.
Microsoft no doubt knew it was going to have to face a lot of flak over its new operating system. And here's some more.
New features include a 64-bit design, hardware accelerated 3D graphics, and support for JPEG XR graphics. Adobe isn't giving up on Flash.
Apple loathes cross-platform developer tools, but Unity believes a Flash partnership and new high-end features in its next-gen software will keep it popular.

A lightning fast smash-and-grab put one Fargo business out for missing merchandise and money for repairs.
Fargo police say two people broke into the First National Pawn Shop on Main Avenue in Fargo early Monday morning, stealing pocket knives and small electronics.
Police arrived within three minutes of alarms sounding, but the thieves were gone in a flash.
Hidden treasures come into this pawn shop daily, but Mark Wynkoop, a pawn broker, will tell you nothing and no one goes undetected.
"I got in at noon today, and you know, there was a lot of glass everywhere. We were still cleaning up," he said.
Still the security system was cracked with an early morning burglary.
"Burglars are going to be less prone to rob your business if they're worried about people driving by or people seeing them do it," he said. "And I can't think of a much busier road than Main."
You might think they would have thought twice before smashing the glass on the door. Between the traffic outside and the cameras in store, just by choosing this store, those thieves put a target on their back.
"We're constantly interacting with the Fargo, and even the out cities, police departments. Everyday," Wynkoop said. "We help them catch a lot of criminals."
An unlikely victim between police keeping a close eye and more than 20 high definition cameras. But, some crimes just can't be foreseen.
"We really can't. If someone wants to do something, they're going to find a way to do it and you have to be prepared."
The likelihood of police catching these thieves is pretty high. Not only do they have surveillance footage, but each item they stole has a tracking number that makes them easy to identify.
So, the precautions businesses like these take often pay off in the end.
None of the items stolen from the shop were being pawned. Those are kept locked away at night, along with guns and valuable jewelry. Workers say that often deters many thieves.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (October 14, 2012) – After a 3-1 win over conference opponent Louisville on Friday, the Rutgers field hockey team (8-7) came up short against a tough Lafayette squad, 2-0, in a Sunday afternoon match in Easton, Pa.
The Leopards (12-1) put up points early in the game with a Haley Keenan goal in the fourth minute of action. The second Lafayette goal, which would prove to be the game-winner, came in the fifteenth minute from senior Deanna Dicroce.
The Scarlet Knights couldn't rebound from the two first half goals, but junior goalkeeper Sarah Stuby (Roxbury, N.J.) showed resilience and recorded ten stops on the day.
Sunday's game was the first in a four-game road stretch for the Scarlet Knights. RU is back in action next Friday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. and will go head-to-head with Providence for the final BIG EAST game of the regular season. Rutgers will stay in Providence, R.I., to face Brown on Sunday, Oct. 21 for a noon game.

5 Catalysts That Could Propel Google to $1,000
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) shares hit an all-time high last week surpassing $800, and now investors are wondering if the stock can crack the $1,000 milestone? While a four-digit share price may seem extravagant, Google has several catalysts that could propel the stock to $1,000.
Dividend payment
Google is sitting on a $48 billion cash pile representing almost $150 per share. In 2012, the company generated $16.5 billion in operating cash flow. Google could easily afford to initiate a large dividend or share buyback program providing a quick jolt for the share price.
Cash-bloated corporations are beginning to face pressure from shareholder activists. Last week, hedge fund manager David Einhorn won a court settlement against Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The lawsuit challenged management's controversial proposal to limit the issuance of preferred stock and is part of Einhorn's broader effort to unlock Apple's $137 billion cash pile.
Apple only represents the beginning in the fight for cash sitting on corporate balance sheets. Expect more boardroom scuffles if companies don't begin paying dividends to shareholders.
Android monetization
As of September 2012, there're now more than a half a billion activated Android devices globally with 1.3 million new gadgets added each day.
The represents a huge opportunity for Google to monetize into additional advertising revenue. The company launched its "enhanced campaigns," which encourages greater use of mobile ads. Google's cost-per-click, the rate advertisers pay every time a user clicks a banner, is expected to increase in upcoming quarters as the company starts charging higher prices for smartphone and tablet advertisements. Confirmation is Google is gaining traction in mobile by raising rates would be a big boost for the stock.
Motorola X
Google is also rumored to be launching its own smart phone this summer called the Motorola X. By releasing its own handset, Google would grab a piece of Android's hardware sales rather than just relying on advertising revenue.
The move would also counter Samsung's (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF) growing role in the Android ecosystem. Samsung accounts for 40% of all Android device sales and there are concerns that the company could leverage its position to negotiate a slice of ad revenue or advance release of future products. By developing its own handset, Google would limit Samsung's bargaining power.
Google store
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Google may have plans to launch its own brick and mortar retail stores. Google Store would act as a showroom allowing customers to interact with the company growing portfolio of hardware products.
Rumors of Google's expansion into retail were greeted very positively by the Street last week and any confirmation of the initiative would send shares higher.
Economic tailwinds
The global economic recovery is gathering momentum on several fronts:
China: The Bank of China has been loosening monetary policy, shifting its stance from fighting inflation to generating growth. Economists project the country's GDP to increase 8.1% in the fourth quarter.
United States: America's energy, automotive, and real estate industries are booming. Consumer spending is on the rebound and equity markets are approaching all time highs.
Europe: It appears the worst of Europe's sovereign debt crisis is behind it. Yields on government bonds have been in steady decline. An imminent breakup of the Euro, a real fear two years ago, now seems unlikely.
Accelerating growth will provide a positive tailwind for advertisement spending in 2013. Expect analysts to begin raising Google's earnings and revenue projections as the broader economic picture brightens.
Foolish bottom line
A $1,000 price tag wouldn't really stretch Google's valuation. If shares hit the milestone today, the stock would be trading at 18 times forward earnings. Assuming a 15% earnings growth rate, Google would sport a 1.2 PEG ratio, roughly in line with other large cap tech names like Microsoft or Yahoo.

EHR adoption rates climbing in small physician practices
Practices with one or two physicians have become the fastest-growing segment to adopt electronic health records (EHR), according to an article in this week's issue of American Medical News.
An ongoing study by the marketing research firm SK&A found that adoption rates by physicians in solo practice increased from 30.8 percent in July to 36.9 percent in January, and adoption rates by practices with two physicians increased from 41.6 percent to 47.1 percent. In contrast, adoption among practices with 26 or more physicians slowed during the same period—from 75.5 percent in July to 77.2 percent in January.
Regardless of practice size, the AMA offers resources to help physicians implement EHR technology that meets the unique needs of their practice. A series of six short video modules walks through methodologies for successful adoption, and a collection of archived podcasts cover a variety of considerations related to Medicare's meaningful use incentive program.
Use these and other resources from the AMA to prepare your practice for success in implementing health information technology.

Source: Associated Press
A southeast Kansas farmer whose video parody "What Does the Farmer Say" went viral last month has a new hit with his take on a Miley Cyrus song that features twerking cows.
Derek Klingenberg's spoof of "What Does the Fox Say?" got more than 4 million views online. The Peabody resident's new video dubbed "Feeding Cattle in the USA" — a parody of the Cyrus hit, "Party in the USA" — also is gaining traction, with more than 55,000 views by Monday morning.
The Kansas City Star reports the video features the overall-wearing farmer singing into an ear of corn and doing light tricks with his iPhone. It also includes cows doing their own version of the provocative dance move called "twerking."
Klingenberg majored in agriculture at Kansas State University.

The event takes in some of the North West Highlands finest Munros, including Torridon's famous three: Liathach, Beinn Eighe and Ben Alligin. A Munro is is a mountain in Scotland with a height over 3,000 feet. As well as climbing the big three, there are other classic Munros, including Maol Chean Dearg and Slioch, located in the area. The weekend kicks off with the ascent and the classic traverse of the famous Liathach ridge.
The high level walks are aimed at people that are used to the mountain environment and as such will have a reasonable level of fitness. The walks will be visiting wild places and will not necessarily follow footpaths. Conditions underfoot, coupled with the terrain; dictate that these walks are of a medium to strenuous nature. All activities involve a degree of physical input and as such any aches, pains weaknesses or concerns need to be advised to the guide at the start of the day and to The Torridon before the festival.
Low level walks will follow estate roads and footpaths with easy height gain but a reasonable level of fitness is still recommended.
Bring your walking shoes!

Did You Know? Kingsmill Resort
Situated in the Virginia's Historic Triangle, Kingsmill Resort is nestled on land that housed a bustling Virginia plantation from 1619 through the 1800s.It was nearly the home of the first settlers to Virginia, but lost out to nearby Jamestown, because it was easier for ships to anchor there. A decade or so later, the first 300 acres of Kingsmill settled by Richard Kingsmill, a member of the Virginia Company, an organization chartered in England and charged with the founding and settlement of Virginia. Several other early colonists played a significant part in the development of Kingsmill and the growth of nearby Williamsburg.
Today Kingsmill is a AAA Four‐Diamond resort lt features one- to three-
bedroom suite accommodations with access to family-friendly amenities and three 18-hole championship golf courses.

Did You Know? The Savoy London
Irish actor Richard Harris is famously known for playing Professor Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movie series. But did you know that he spent the last 12 years of his life living in Room 758 at London's ultra-luxurious Savoy Hotel?
Harris reportedly liked the suite life for several reasons. Chief among them was that, unlike at home, he could order up a pint or a sandwich at 4am, if he so desired. For the privilege of late-night sandwiches, Harris paid approximately 6,000 pounds per month.
Shortly before his death from cancer, Harris was taken out of the hotel on a stretcher. According to an article in London's Daily Mail, as he went past the lobby, he shouted to the hotel guests found there that "It was the food! Don't touch the food!"
The hotel, far from taking offense at the legendary prankster's last joke, instead has named one of its Personality Suites after him. These suites are among the most spacious in the hotel and each suite has been furnished with special pieces, artwork and antiques associated with their namesake. The Art Deco style suites offer a separate sitting room, large bedroom with en-suite bathroom, separate dressing area, marble entrance foyer ,and guest cloakroom. Every Suite features a sofa, 2 armchairs and writing desk in the sitting room, a dressing table and armchair in the bedroom, personal bar, Loewe flat-screen televisions, Meridian iPod docking station, DVD player and bespoke Savoy furnishings. The well-appointed marble bathrooms all feature a freestanding, claw foot bath, separate walk-in showers with the famous Savoy rain showerhead, a double vanity, large chrome fittings and Le Labo amenities.

Look to This Stock for Steady Returns
Bob is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A company that sells its products every day to millions of consumers, regardless of the prevailing economic conditions, deserves a place in every investor's portfolio. Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) is just that type of company, and can provide a much needed dose of stability to all equity investors. Last year the company celebrated its 175th anniversary. With a portfolio of market-leading brands and a great dividend, P&G should be on the shopping list of nearly every investor.
Market-Leading Brands
Procter and Gamble directs investors' collective attention to its 50 'Leadership Brands,' meaning the 50 products that comprise 90 percent of the company's revenues and more than 90 percent of its profits. Twenty-five of these brands are billion-dollar brands, each generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Its flagship brands can be found in virtually every aisle in the local grocery store. These include Gillette razors, Pampers diapers, Bounty paper towels, Tide laundry detergent, Crest toothpaste, and Head and Shoulders shampoo.
The company competes with Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL) and Clorox (NYSE: CLX) in the consumer staples sector. Procter and Gamble is the largest company of the three by far. With a market capitalization of $188 billion, P&G has a greater market value than both competitors combined. Colgate-Palmolive's market cap is $50 billion, and its brands include its namesake toothpaste and dish soap. Clorox is a much smaller competitor, with a market cap of roughly $10 billion. Clorox relies primarily on its Clorox bleach, but also has a diversified product portfolio.
The strength of Procter and Gamble's brands have provided the company remarkably consistent financial results. P&G announced fiscal 2012 sales of just north of $83 billion, an increase in total revenues of more than 3 percent year over year. The company's earnings per share actually fell in 2012, to $3.66 per share from $3.93 the year prior. The primary reason for this was a shrinking profit margin. Even though sales increased, greater increases in input costs led to lower earnings for Procter and Gamble. However, it's worth noting that commodity costs fluctuate, and the company is currently implementing a $10 billion cost-savings program to manage costs more effectively in the future.
Dividends and Buybacks
The beauty of a company like Procter and Gamble is the combination of a stable business and commitment to rewarding shareholders. In fiscal 2012 Procter and Gamble returned $10 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. The company is the gold standard for dividend payers—in fiscal 2012, the company paid a dividend for the 122nd year in a row. That kind of track record places Procter and Gamble in elite company. Only eight other U.S.-based companies have paid dividends to shareholders for as long as Proctor and Gamble has. In addition, P&G increased its dividend for the 56th year in a row.
With a company like Procter and Gamble, an investor might consider a business model of laundry detergent, toothpaste and paper towels as too boring. But in a tumultuous global economic environment, boring is good. Over the last three years, global markets have been rattled by a seemingly never-ending string of worries. The unraveling debt crisis in Europe and the fiscal cliff in the United States have resulted in extreme volatility in the capital markets. However, since 2010 Procter and Gamble has traded between $60 and $70 per share. Investors can take comfort in the fact that the company isn't going to disappear any time soon and that those dividend checks will keep coming in, no matter how tenuous the global economy might look.
The Bottom Line
Procter and Gamble isn't the screaming value it was during the depths of the 2008 recession. That being said, it's far from expensive, especially when compared to its peers. P&G currently trades for a trailing twelve-month P/E multiple of 18 and a price-to-book multiple of 3. Those numbers are almost identical to Clorox's valuation, while Colgate-Palmolive trades at a trailing P/E of over 21. P&G provides investors with a dividend yield north of 3 percent and a reliable business model. The company should return to growing earnings in the near future, and the multiple has room to expand. Premium businesses deserve premium valuations, and as Warren Buffett famously said, it's far better to own a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.

A juror has been dismissed in the Johnathan Doody re-trial. Doody is accused of killing nine people inside of a Buddhist temple back in 1991. An appeals court overturned his conviction, saying his confession was coerced.
That juror told the judge she had talked with her husband about a question asked during jury selection. So the judge dismissed her -- they now have 15 on the jury: 12 jurors and three alternates.
Thursday was the first day of testimony.
More than 20 years after the killings, a witness told the jury what she saw when she walked into the temple and found nine people dead. She also said she recognized Doody because he'd been to the temple before and would visit with the monks.
Two other witnesses are now dead. A transcript of their testimony during the first trial was read out loud for jurors.
A crime scene analyst also testified. She was there back in 1991. She told the jury they collected every drop of blood, piece of hair and samples of fingerprints and footprints they could find.
A video of the crime scene techs collecting evidence that day was also played for the jury.
On Wednesday during opening statements, prosecutors said Doody's motive was money because he wanted to buy a car.
"Every single one of them had been shot to death. Some of them had been shot more than once, but most of them.. the cause of death was a single bullet to the back or the side of the head," said prosecutor Jason Kalish.
Defense attorneys say Doody is innocent and had been to the temple before, but wasn't there on the night the nine victims were killed.
The trial will continue on Monday morning.
