Reclaiming the Promise: News and Press
AFT-WV President Christine Campbell calls on all West Virginians to come together to reclaim the promise of a high-quality education for all children in her state.
If you had $50,000 or more to invest in the privatization of public education, you would have been welcome at a recent meeting in Philadelphia of self-described school reformers. But if you're an educator or parent interested in strengthening public education, you'd be out of luck. Read more in Randi Weingarten's most recent column.
In the U.S. Virgin Islands, reclaiming the promise was the centerpiece of the TEACH Conference.

British band Bastille first released their single "Pompeii" more than a year ago in their native U.K., but now that the song has become a global smash worldwide, they're more in demand than ever. The group kicks off an additional leg of U.S. dates on Monday night in Chicago, and they'll be touring coast to coast through June, with several stops at major festivals like Coachella. What can fans expect? Rawness and lunacy, according to the band's drummer.
"The live shows are a little bit more raw than the album...maybe a little bit rockier and heavier in places," Bastille drummer Chris "Woody" Wood tells ABC News Radio. "But I mean, you basically see Dan, our singer, jumping around, looking like an absolute lunatic for about an hour and a half."
"I think we've got a fairly varied set," he adds. "There's quite upbeat moments, there's also quite downbeat, minimal ones, too. We just go and try to give the kind of best representation of ourselves possible." While the band's concerts feature numerous songs from their debut Bad Blood , the highlight is, of course, "Pompeii," lead singer Dan Smith 's imagining of a conversation between the residents of the ancient city of Pompeii, right before a nearby volcano erupted, burying the city and its inhabitants in ash.
"I never get bored of that, ever, I don't think I ever will," Woody says of performing the song they've now literally played hundreds and hundreds of times.
"I think when you play a song quite a few times, you often kind of find different aspects of it that you like more than previously. But, I mean, that's a song that everyone seems to know," he adds. "It's kind of nice to have that, obviously, 'cause, [let's] say the crowd aren't particularly receptive --we've got, like, a Get Out of Jail Free card!"
As for why he thinks "Pompeii" has become such a big it, Woody thinks it's because the kind of song everyone can sing along to.
"I think the kinda 'chant-y' hook at the start, that's quite universal, obviously," he says. "Because it's not in any sort of exact language, anyone can kind of latch onto that. But I think it's quite a fair representation of the kind of overall sound of the band...it's got the big drums, it's got the catchy hooks and the backing vocal."
The song is definitely speaking to one particular type of fan: teenage girls, who can get quite worked up over the band -- Dan, especially, draws screams and shrieks. But Woody says it hasn't become much of an issue...at least not yet..
"On occasion we do get the odd screaming girl, maybe, but I wouldn't say we're being mobbed just yet," he laughs. " It happened to us once, I think it was in Minneapolis, where, basically, these teenagers managed to break into the radio station and we had to basically kind of leg it out of the fire escape and run to the car! But I wouldn't say it's quite Beatlemania just yet."

Most college kids are at home this time of the year, celebrating the end of finals and/or nursing hangovers. But the ROM's scene's number one destination is hosting classes all year round at the the new XDA University site. XDA-Developers has been working on the extension of the main site as a destination for newcomers to the world of root, custom ROMs, and other Android modifications, as well as a place to learn about more serious Android development.
There is good news for Motorola Atrix users with a penchant for rooting and modding as the CyanogenMod Atrix Developers Team has just released a pre-beta of CM7.
User graemegb posted on the XDA Developers Forum yesterday with links to a post on ModMyMobile.com which had download links for the CM7 pre-beta and the accompanying Google Apps package.
According to the post the following components are working with the current pre-beta release:
- Calls and SMS
- Wi-Fi
- Audio
- Display
- Touchscreen
- Battery stats
- Proximity sensor
- Screen orientation
- Internal storage and external SD card
- Multimedia playback (videos, music)
Unfortunately, the Bluetooth and camera are currently not working, in addition to "everything else that wasn't included in the [above] working list".
As an Atrix owner, these past couple of days have been a bit of a "Christmas in (almost) July" celebration. First, we get confirmation that our bootloader will be unlocked with Android 2.3.4. After that, the phone is placed on sale on Amazon for one measly cent. Then XDA Developers say "screw that; we'll give you an unlock on Froyo!"
Now, in perhaps the biggest gift yet, the genius minds over at XDA have devised a way for users to install a pre-release build of Gingerbread 2.3.4 on their phones.
Even though we reported yesterday that the Motorola Atrix would be receiving the option to unlock its bootloader, a group of dedicated developers on XDA have found a way to do, even on Froyo. The update involves flashing a specifically-coded SBF, and then running commands from the fastboot menu of the phone. If all goes well, you'll get the fabled "device is now unlocked" message, and you will be one step closer to killing that damned Motoblur.
At the leading edge of this new wave of dual-core superphones is the Motorola Atrix. One of the major innovations of this device, besides the next-level processing power and fingerprint scanner, is Webtop - the desktop-style interface available when the Atrix is docked. By plugging into the HD multimedia or laptop dock (sold separately of course), you can interact with the phone on a larger display while using an internet browser, file explorer and Facebook in a pseudo-desktop environment.
Sony Ericsson has confirmed that it will not be updating its Xperia X10 line of smartphones to Android 2.2 Froyo. So, owners of the Xperia X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro will be stuck on Android 2.1 Éclair for the foreseeable future. However, Sony Ericsson has promised to provide some minor software updates, with features such as multitouch, later this year.
If you were looking for another reason to buy Google's Nexus S, here it is.
Pretty big news out of the XDA-Forums today - forum member and resident genius Ownhere has come up with a 'data2ext' hack that allows users to enhance the way Android handles OS-specific data and memory. Put simply, this hack allows users to change some partition settings in order to greatly increase performance.
Originally created for the HTC Desire, the hack delivers some outstanding performance improvements and is a must have if you own the device.
Remember the new, upgraded Android market we told you about last night? Well, now it appears that the APK has been ripped and posted for all to enjoy (or loathe, depending on your personal feelings).
You can find it here (mirrored by us) and it brings with it all the UI changes and issues (15 minute refund limit) we discussed earlier.
I should warn you that as of now, the APK we have only works for stock Android 2.2 devices.
The folks over at XDA-developers have prepared an exclusive treat for all of us who are patiently (and impatiently) awaiting both Gingerbread and the Nexus S. One of their sources managed to get ahold of the upcoming flagship device from Samsung, which, as we all know, runs Gingerbread. He even spilled some beans on the specs:
- ArmV7 CPU
- Open GL ES Supported
- 512 or 328MB Ram (Not 100% known)
- 1GB or 2GB Internal Memory (Not 100% known)
- 800×480 Screen Resolution
- 4″ Screen Size
- SuperAmoled2 – Possibly
- 720P HD Video
Update: There was an update posted over at XDA claiming that the CPU is indeed a dual core Orion Cortex A9 running at 1GHz:
Who says the G2's processor is slow, eh? While its stock 800 MHz clockspeed didn't break any benchmark records, it's showing itself to be nicely capable of overclocking. Unlike the QSD8250 in the original Snapdragon, which gets rather unstable anywhere past the 1.13GHz (+15%) mark, the MSM7230 in the Scorpion of the G2 sails right on past +100% with apparent stability. The kernel was posted on XDA-Developers by member Flippy125, with the usual "NOT MY FAULT IF-" disclaimers, but also noting that the kernel runs stably for him.

Now that Porsche has revealed the full line of specifications for the new generation 911 family, creative types are busying themselves with the different variations up the brand's sleeve. We just revealed our thoughts on the next gen 911 Turbo and then we found PS-Garage's take on the future GT3 RS .
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the perfect sports car for those looking for true racetrack performance in a street car. The RS version will be the next logical step after the new 911 GT3 is revealed sometime in 2013, and while the new standard GT3 will deliver somewhere in the neighborhood of 480 HP, the RS version will be working with about an 20 HP. Unlike other 911 models, the GT3 RS will be offered exclusively with Porsche's new seven-speed manual gearbox.
The new GT3 RS will bring in some of the usual upgrades such as an improved suspension, better aerodynamics, and an extra-large carbon-fiber rear wing serving as a reminder of its racing connections.
Updated 07/31/2014: British magazine CARrevealed a series of patent photos that present the GT3 RS in all its glory. Check them out after the jump.
Gallery Porsche 911/991
Update History
Updated 03/07/2013: Today we have created a new rendering for the upcoming GT3 RS, based on the standard GT3 version we have seen in Geneva.
Updated 02/12/2014: British magazine AutoExpress reports that the first details on the new generation GT3 RS will be revealed next month, with the official debut set to happen in late summer.
Updated 02/20/2014: British magazine AutoCar reports that the new generation 911 GT3 RS will be powered by a naturally aspired engine with an output of at least 500 horsepower. With this amazing output the GT3 RS should go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 or 3.3 seconds and up to a top speed of 196 mph.

Similar to a Module on an Electronic Drum Set, Sound Modules (also called Tone Generators) act as the "guts" of a Digital Piano or Synthesizer. Sound modules are a valued-added, space-saving tool that save you money while giving you plenty of sounds and voices to get creative with. In today's world, keyboard players and producers are always looking for more flexibility and updated technology without having to commit the physical space to another keyboard. Especially if the player already owns a keyboard controller that has an excellent feel, using multiple sound modules will allow them to expand their setup in a more cost effective way. Home recording enthusiasts will also appreciate the space-saving nature of the sound module. By combing a robust sounding module with a small keyboard controller, they can input and record each part at a time taking advantage of the modern and powerful sounds within the module in a controlled space. Each manufacturer and tone module may have a slightly different focus or mission. Some specialize in only piano and keyboard sounds while others will look to replicate a vintage Hammond Organ sound or vintage keyboard sound. The most common types of these modules are Table-Top models – known for the portability and content-rich features.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) - A recent report recommending tax and fee increases to pay for highway projects is drawing criticism from a Madison based research group. The Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group, known as WISPERN, compared the proposal to other states' plans and said much of the nearly $480 million dollar increase in taxes and fees is going to the wrong place.
Bruce Speight is with the WISPERG Foundation, and they question the need to raise gas taxes, license fees, or consider paying for driving by the mile at this time. He says the state's highway spending priorities are flawed. "Wisconsin, as we found in this report compared to other states, plans to spend a high percentage... about 30% of our state's planned transportation money on new roads and highway expansion projects, even though we've got this modest projected population growth and our volume of driving is actually decreasing."
Speight says their study shows the state's highway expansion plans are extravagant, and out of touch with our states slow population growth and transportation trends, and Wisconsin is considering spending 30% of its transportation dollars on projects that research data can't justify. "Our transportation priorities are completely out of whack, and we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on highway expansion that might be completely unnecessary and wasteful spending that could be better directed towards making sure our bridges aren't collapsing and that our potholes are getting fixed, and in communities where we need good transit systems, that we're providing that."
WISPERG's spokesman says the Department of Transportation needs to show a demonstrated need for a project, no matter what it is. Speight says they support maintaining roads and bridges, and supporting more local transportation aid.
The WISPERG study reviewed the top four enumerated projects in the last budget, and deemed them all as wasteful and unnecessary. They are the Interstate 90 widening from Madison to the Illinois border, the Highway 15 widening project in Outagamie County, the Highway 38 project between Milwaukee and Racine, and the Tri-County Freeway in Winnebago and Calumet counties.
Speight says their group looked at the case for expansion, examined environmental impact statements, and also 10 year old crash data and documents used to justify the projects. Their study showed the top four expensive highway projects are not necessary. "We actually reviewed the four new major highway projects enumerated in that budget, and what we found was that they were unjustified, unnecessary projects, and over the life of those projects, they could cost taxpayers as much as 2 billion dollars."
Speight says Wisconsin may need to raise more transportation revenue, but the state should first get their priorities straight and get a better estimate of how much taxpayer money is actually needed to do the important road work.

Ford earnings beat estimates but revenue disappoints
Strong North American sales offset weak European demand.
Ford (F) reported fourth-quarter earnings before the bell on Tuesday that beat analyst forecasts. Although revenue was slightly weaker than forecast in the quarter, shares initially rose in the pre-market on relatively strong guidance before tumbling almost 6% by midday.
For the fourth quarter of 2012, Ford reported earnings per share of $0.31 compared to forecasts of earnings per share of $0.26. In the same period a year ago, Ford reported earnings per share of $0.22, meaning that earnings per share grew 41% from the same period a year ago.
Revenue was slightly weak in the quarter, at $33.1 billion, just below forecasts of $33.17 billion. Sales grew 2% from the same period a year ago.
Other highlights from the press release showed that Ford grew its cash position to bolster its liquidity and results were driven by positive trends in North America.
Ford generated $1 billion in free cash flow in the fourth quarter and $3.4 billion in free cash flow for the full year 2012, increasing its total cash to $24.3 billion and its liquidity position to $34.5 billion. Ford also noted that North American results drove the strong earnings while European sales continued to weigh as the continent escapes recession.
"Our focus this year will be to continue our strong performance in North America and at Ford Credit, while at the same time, addressing challenges and opportunities in other parts of our business," said Bob Shanks, Ford chief financial officer.
"In Europe this means executing our transformation plan, while in South America we will continue to refresh our entire product line-up, and in Asia Pacific we will continue to invest for even stronger, profitable growth in the future."
Jamie Albertine, Stifel Nicolaus' Ford Analyst, told Benzinga Monday that Europe would be key for Ford.
"Everytime we talk to [Ford], its about their plans for Europe. We need to get more clarity around stabalization, when Europe can approach break even," Albertine said.
Ford said it would lose $2 billion in Europe this year, more than it had previously anticipated. Ford's management characterized Europe's economy as remaining tepid.
Looking forward, Ford sees continued sales and earnings growth in the North American market while it expects to be break-even in South America and a loss of approximately $2 billion in Europe in 2013. Ford also expects the Asia Pacific region to be about break-even in 2013.

Location and Demographics
Services and Staff
In February of 2007 the City signed Front Range Village development agreement with Bayer. The agreement included an agreement that Bayer would build a 2nd floor library core and shell on a cost reimbursement basis.
City developed an initial branch budget, using a Capstone estimate, to include core & shell, tenant finish, tech/telephone, design, APP, contingency: $4.5 million for 16,000 square feet of second floor space. The core & shell portion of the estimate amounted to approximately $1.1 million.
In March of 2007 Council appropriated $5.5 million for the SE branch library for design, construction, furnishings, technology, books and materials.
In April 2007, Bayer provided conceptual design of the building and a core & shell construction estimate of $2.22 million for 17,415 square feet for the library. Since this amount represented considerably more than Council previously appropriated for the project, City staff returned to Council to request additional funding based on estimates provided by Bayer.
In May 2007 Council appropriated an additional $1.1M for design, construction & furnishings, technology and materials.
In September 2007 Bayer provided a detailed Design Development (DD) cost estimate for the building core & shell of $2,825,394, an amount $600k over the approved project budget of $2,219,176.
In Fall of 2007 the City determined the project would proceed through Council's approval of project expenditures of Library Impact Fees, which will be collected until at least the successful completion of the new branch.
On April 9, 2008 construction work was started. Estimated opening date is March of 2009.
The City of Fort Collins is in charge of the building process and will turn the Library over to the Library District when it is finished.
Location and Demographics
The library will occupy the second floor of a highly visible, easily accessible building in Front Range Village, a 900,000 square-foot retail center located on the northwest corner of Ziegler and Harmony Roads. The street in front of the Library will be named Council Tree Avenue.

Step 4: Connecting additional computers to the network
The instructions for adding a computer to your wireless network depends on whether the computer you're adding has a wireless network adapter already installed.
If your computer has a wireless adapter built in or you have previously installed a wireless network adapter, you only need to set up the connection to the wireless network. The directions are much simpler and generally take less than five minutes to complete. If you're unsure about whether you have a wireless network adapter, you can use Windows Device Manager to determine whether you have one installed.
If you don't have a wireless network adapter installed, connecting an additional computer will require two major steps:

Petition Hasbro to Make Show-Accurate Plushes!Hello Bronies and plush-lovers alike! Today is a special day because we are launching a petition for Hasbro to create show-accurate plushies for all of us out there who can't afford a $400 plush. While we love custom plush makers here on deviantArt, most of us would die to have a beautiful plush doll lovingly crafted to look like our favorite characters. Unfortunately, the majority of us cannot afford to dole out hundreds of dollars for show-accurate plush doll. That is why we've started a petition asking Hasbro to make more show-accurate plushes for all the fans of MLP. If you agree, sign the petition! We hope to reach Hasbro in a way that only the fans of the incredibly popular My Little Pony could.All it takes is your First Name, Last Name, Email, and basic Address information. All your information is kept private unless you state you'd like your signature to be shown publicly. You are automatically signed up when you sign the petition, but you may delete your account at any
Crossover Contest 1: MLP:FiM vs Marvel CharactersThis is the first of the crossover competitions that were promised earlier.What you have to do is make a pony version of any Marvel character you wish. Be sure that it's a Marvel character and not a character from another comic series though.If you need an example of Marvel characters the most well known ones are the X-Men. Aside from them I can only suggest is this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Comics_charactersClick a letter to show the list for that letter. No shortage of options here!As usual the artist favourite image will be awarded a 3 month premium membership, this one is for 2 weeks however as I don't think 1 week is really enough.Submit to the Marvel vs My Little Pony subfolder of the Contests folder.Deadline is the 26th of October at 5pm.1 week isn't really enough for this one.Good luck and try your best. Edit: Drawing multiple characters is fine but the limit of 3 submissions per week still applies. Please only draw characters from Marvel for this
Winner of Baby Invasion + New Cosplay ContestWinner of Baby InvasionThe winner is asluc96 with this genius idea.Seems he took the contest title rather literally. Well done, asluc96 you will now receive a 3 month premium membership.Cosplay timePerhaps one of the less appreciated forms of fandom art I think it's time we had one of these. The rules are simple. Dress as your favourite my little pony character and submit to the Fun Cosplay subfolder of the weekly contests folder.Edit: Deadline extended to 8th of October at 5pm UK time and the winner will be decided shortly after.
Contest: Design a Pony [CLOSED]Hello everypony! As I say in the last journal in will be my first contest. It'll be a simply one. All you need to have is your own imagination and sense of style. I make 2 bases to make it even simpler for you.What you need to do?1. You need to design an OC Pony. Her or his mane/tail/coat/eye color and choose name.2. You could also design cutie mark and outfit but it isn't necessary. 3. There isn't any special theme. It could be sad pony/vampire pony/member of applejack family etc. Whatever you want.4. You can use one of my bases (http://erisgrim.deviantart.com/art/Base-2-312949195?q=in%3Ascraps%20sort%3Atime%20gallery%3Aerisgrim&qo=0 or http://erisgrim.deviantart.com/art/Base-1-312949177?q=in%3Ascraps%20sort%3Atime%20gallery%3Aerisgrim&qo=1)5. Or you could make it by your own, but I'm not looking at your style or skills but at your design and idea.Rules- It should be a new work.- UPDATE! OC should be also a new one. You ca
Contest 23 - Historical DisneyAnd the winners are... In the Judge's Section:Chosen by :iconmistytang::iconzimeta::iconshoomlah: First Place:Give me your voice by KhiooraWhat the judges were saying: "Khioora's piece definitely jumped out at me when I was first browsing through the entries- it's a striking illustration, granted, but I was also taken with the integration of both 1830's fashion, and Romantic period portrayals of mermaids with more delineated legs. I'm not a huge fan of fashion in the 1830's, but I'll be the first to admit that it's a blast to draw; I think Khioora did a great job of capturing the so-called "Waist and Extravagance" of the period with both her characters' overall silhouette, and her general detailing of the costume. Great stuff!"~ shoomlah:bull
Design me a new dog character contest ($40 prize)Hey all! I have very few characters and I'm looking for more, so I thought I would run a little contest to see if I could rustle up a few creative designs from people! I'm not looking for anything super specific but I do have a couple of general guidelines.RULES-Must be a new design, on original lines.-The ref must contain a full body shot and a headshot at minimum; if design is non-symmetrical, you need to showcase both sides.-There will be one first prize of $40.-If I like more than one design, I may award a second and/or third prize OR I might just buy the character outright from the designer.-Designs that don't win are fully resellable.-I reserve the right to end this contest with no winner if I don't particularly fancy any of the designs offered.-If you need an extension, feel free to ask; I'll most likely say yes!-Ends on June 25th as of right now.BREEDS I LIKE-Irish Water Spaniel (!)-Borzoi-Bull Terrier-Alaskan Klee Kai-Afghan Hound-Catahoula Leopar

This colorful, rinseable carryall is the perfect beach bag for kids -- great for packing up gear, collecting sandy treasures, or toting wet suits and towels.
Turn the garbage bag into a large sheet by cutting along one side seam and the bottom seam. Tape the sheet flat to your workspace and draw a 16- by 30-inch rectangle on it. Cover the rectangle with slightly overlapping strips of red and white tape.
Cut out the tape rectangle and flip it tape-side down.
Lay 2 pieces of cording across the rectangle about an inch from one of the shorter ends. Fold that end over the cording and tape it down to make a casing. Repeat this at the opposite end with the other pieces of cording.
Fold the rectangle in half and tape the sides together to form the bag.
To make the drawstring, pair up one cord from each casing and knot them together at both ends. Repeat with the remaining 2 cords, then pull one knot at each side to cinch the bag.

QOTD: When This Cycle Ends… | The Big Picture
I want to agree with Ron's assessment, only the right shoulder may last a little longer than most expect if we get some fiscal stimulus along with QE3. But overall, this is what I speculate as well.

This Coffee Stock is a Hot Commodity
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) released 2Q results that were better than expected, sending the company up over 8% shortly after financials were made public. The coffee company's EPS came in at $0.46, compared to $0.37 for the same quarter last year. The strong performance included solid increases in comp sales—global comps were up 6%, and 7% in the Americas alone.
Yet, the positive guidance for 2013 is what really got investors excited. Driving 2013 earnings will be continued international expansion and introduction of new products. The company has already added 700 stores in China and expects to add a total of 1,000 by the end of the year.
Analysts put 2013 EPS estimates at $2.13, and Starbucks increased its guidance to come in between $2.06 and $2.15 a share. Although the company was in retracting mode a few years ago with multiple store closures, it now expects to add a total of 1,300 stores this year, where revenues will be driven by continued same store sales growth, estimated to come in at 5.5%, with the most robust growth coming from China's comp sales, expected to be up 11%.
Notable Starbucks competitors include Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR), Dunkin' Brands Group (NASDAQ: DNKN), Tim Hortons (NYSE: THI) and McDonald's (NYSE: MCD).
Green Mountain shares took a hit last month when Starbucks debuted its new single serve cup coffee machine. We expected this decline to continue in the interim, but the company does have international opportunities that could fuel future growth. Green Mountain is expected to grow five-year EPS at a 20% CAGR, yet there are concerns over execution.
The fact that Green Mountain trades at only 12x earnings, the cheapest of the five stocks included, makes the company intriguing from a valuation standpoint. However, we will choose to stay on the sidelines until a clearer picture is painted as to how the Verismo will impact the company's top line. We would also wait on David Einhorn to scale back criticism of the company before taking a hard look.
Dunkin' has seen its chairman selling off shares of late, but it does have vast expansion plans that should allow the company to break into the western part of the U.S. However, even as Dunkin' also expands its menu items to include various breakfast sandwiches, same store sales growth came in at only 2.8% last year, and 2013 same store sales are expected to only be in the low single digits. As well, the company's valuation is a bit lofty, trading at over 40x earnings.
Tim Hortons is looking to increase its U.S. presence by entering the market with new stores. This is bad news for Dunkin', Tim Horton's top competitor, but also bad news for Starbucks. Last quarter, the company only saw 1.8% growth in same store sales for Canada, but showed 4.9% growth in the U.S. In addition to geographical expansion, the company is also upping its menu offering by adding espresso drinks. Compare Tim Hortons' P/E of 20x to Dunkin's 40x, and there's an obvious value play here.
We continue to like McDonald's, given its international diversity and new menu offerings. The company also trades at only 16x earnings, compared to other competitor Yum! Brands, which sports a P/E of 21x. As well, McDonald's is a solid dividend payer that yields 3.5%. At the end of June, Ken Fisher, Jim Simons and D.E. Shaw all thought McDonald's was indeed a good investment.
Starbucks saw significant fund interest from Ken Fisher during 2Q, who upped his 1Q stake by over 1,700% to own almost 10 million shares. As well, Tiger Consumer Management and Columbus Circle Investors were notable investors; check out all the funds owning Starbucks.
We believe that Starbucks has solid prospects and trades cheaply. A strengthening global economy bodes well for the company, as an increase in small discretionary items will drive the company's top line. We believe the company will continue to see strong interest for the company's at home coffee maker, Verismo. This and the company's international expansion make Starbucks worth considering, as the company also trades relatively cheaply on a historical P/E basis at 26x, compared to the historical average of 30x.
Interested in Further Analysis?
With Green Mountain as cheap as it's ever been, many investors are wondering whether this is the end of the former market darling, or the perfect entry point for an enormous rebound. You can find a recommendation for how to approach investing in the company in The Motley Fool's new premium research report. In it you'll find everything you need to know about Green Mountain, including whether it's a buy at today's prices. Click here for instant access.

Lighted Swag & Snowflake Set 16 16
i searched hi and low i was super excited to find these snowflakes...these are exactly what i was looking for. I do ALOT of online shopping. I am thrilled to have found IMPROVEMENTS!!!- very prompt shipping, packaged with care-5 stars all the way!! February 1, 2013
not as expected poorly constructed as well as a few plastic parts would broken January 30, 2013
snow flake lights I have always been impressed with the items that I have ordered from Improvements - but not this time. This light is made of plastic type prisms that would be ok if the lights were lined up behind them so they would shine. The lights are not even placed on the snowflake frame in a pattern that makes this look like a snowflake. I ordered two and the light patterns don't even match on both snowflakes. I am not sending them back - it isn't worth the trouble - but I would not recommend these to another buyer. Sorry. January 12, 2013
Elegant! The swag and snowflake sets are lovely! I have a big southern front porch and hung multiple sets all around. The sets are also EXTREMELY durable, as they withstood 50 mph winds for several hours during a winter storm. I'm ordering 3 additional sets for next Christmas! Very pleased! December 27, 2012
Lighted Swag and Snowflke Set Good overall but a bit disappointed in the color of the lights. The bluish tint is not something I had expected. Old fanishioned white would have increased my overall rating for this product. December 21, 2012
Lighted Swag & Snowflake Set Absolutely Wonderful I live in an apartment and have hung the lighted swag and snowflake set from my patio railing. There was nothing to put together and I only had to attach each segment to my railing. I used light weight wires and the result is that it looks great. I also have my Christmas tree on the patio and both items have been connected with an outlet that allows me to turn both of them off at night by remote control. My patio is a real standout among all of the other apartment patios. This was a great purchase for which I am thoroughly satisfied. December 20, 2012
Disappointed somewhat.... There were no instructions contained in the package and the item was poorly wrapped...much too much tape to be removed for a somewhat flimsy article...could easily have been damaged while un-wrapping. Many lights were loosened from their position and hanging. Fortunately, I am quite handy with any project and enabled me to make things work out, but for someone who may not be as handy, intense disappointment would be incurred. Sorry, but I'm being totally honest here...that's why I am taking the time to respond. December 19, 2012
not attractive I found this hard to hange and some of the bulbs did not light. It was rather cheap looking for the price. I managed to hange it and it was pretty light at night. December 9, 2012
Avoid these!!!! Absolutely the most difficult seasonal decorations to hang ever made by man, You get to invent the hanging devices as well as how you will make extensions to hang them so they are level. A NIGHTMARE and I love projects. They arrived damaged, as all will because they are so fragile. Will not hang these next year, straight to the trash. And even if I did want to there is no way they would hold up. CHEAP AND UGLY. AVOID!!!!!! December 5, 2012
Color Problem I ordered all white and the boxes were marked whie. Unfortunately some seem to be white and some seem to be blue. December 4, 2012
Absolutely gorgeous I'm on the 13th floor of a condo on the water and have never found anything that showed up well across the water. This is beautiful and the classiest display of any in our complex of 350 units. I have a corner unit so I had to purchase 12 swags and snowflakes. It was costly but well worth it. I hung them on the balcony railing with garland hooks and then used plastic ties at the bottom of them to keep them from banging in the wind. I did 4 balconies and am considering doing the one on the other side next year. One balcony needs another 16 inches so I have ordered the 48" lamp post. It comes with a red ribbon but I have a lighted blue bow that I will probably use to tie it into the blue snowflakes. I put up 10 Christmas trees so obviously I am a real Christmas nut and want everything perfect. These swags and snowflakes are perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. November 21, 2012
This product looks elegant! Well pleased with this item. Very showy accent to our outside decorations November 14, 2012

DETROIT (WKZO) -- General Motors is issuing a second recall.
Thursday, officials announced the recall of approximately 2.5-million faulty Saturn Ions, Chevy Cobalts and similar vehicles for a defective ignition-lock cylinder. GM officials say they found a single roll-away crash in a parking lot that injured one person tied to the ignition-lock cylinder problem and no deaths have been tied to the issue.
The new recall means GM has recalled 9.6-million vehicles this year.

The Sound of 1 Arm Lifting
by Roger LaPointe
What is the sound of one arm lifting?
Is it the sound of a grinding shoulder? I hope not. I hope all those dumbbell snatches are being done with tools that rotate, but I know they are not. Solid non-rotating equipment can be fun, but for some lifts, it can also cause real pain. Trust me, that is not a sound you don't want to hear.
One hand explosive lifts, just like the two handed lifts, can be done with old school non-rotating tools. Of course, there is a proper technique you have to learn. Basically, you have to let go of the dumbbell, rotate your hand and then re-grip it. It sounds easy, until you try it with limit type weights, whether it's your 1 RM, or just your last rep of a limit set. Once you hear that grinding, the damage is done. The next question is, how bad is the damage?
Rotating Olympic Dumbbells are a fairly easy solution to that problem.
Just like with an Olympic barbell, you never loosen your grip during the lift. Bingo! You have eliminated one more variable in your training. I have heard it said that it doesn't matter what kind of bar you lift on, if you are really strong. Which, of course, is a load of BS. It is very simple, do dumbbell snatches with rotating dumbbells and you will lift more, do it more consistently, and have a much lower risk of injury.
Hmmm… Would I like to lift heavier weights AND have a lower chance of injury in my back, rotator cuff, elbow or wrist?
Dumbbell snatches are great. Use the right tool.
Live strong, Roger

Burlington, Vermont - October 5, 2010
Life has been a zoo for Judy Simpson since she bid farewell to the morning show.
"I'm usually up by five o'clock in the barn," she says. That may sound early to a lot of us, but it's practically a luxury for Judy, who used to arrive at the office at 2:00 a.m. "That's late for me compared to what I'm used to."
Judy's family already has a rabbit, three dogs and two horses, and now she has some help with her new morning chores: a little goat named Rondo.
Since Rondo is a Nigerian Dwarf goat he's going to stay fairly small, but he has a big soft spot for his mom.
"He just kind of follows me around and hangs out with the horses in the barn," Judy said, sitting in a lawn chair with Rondo resting comfortably in her lap. "He's just very social."
Rondo came into Judy's life shortly after her father suddenly passed away in August. Judy says she and her husband often talked about getting a goat, and the day after Judy got home from the funeral she saw an ad for baby goats in an agricultural newspaper. So with a little bargaining, Rondo became a reality.
"I talked to my husband again and he said, 'Well if I get to name it then you can do it,' so I drove down to Dummerston, picked him up, brought him home in a dog crate and he's been here ever since," Judy says.
So why the name Rondo?
"After Rajon Rondo, who of course is all that and he'll be the first to tell you that, and that's kind of his personality," Judy explains.
It's certainly a sight to see Judy going about her barn chores with the help of a dominating little goat who has no fear, a lot of curiosity and even more love to give.

How online retailers can leverage effective email strategies
Internet retailers cannot underestimate the value of email marketing. A recent study has predicted that the total number of email users worldwide will grow to more than 2.7 billion before the end of 2017, with revenue hitting $20.4 billion. This growing marketing channel is considerably inexpensive and provides a great opportunity for retailers trying to acquire and retain customers, increase conversions or generate awareness. After using this channel for a while, however, it can be easy for retailers to fall into just a marketing routine. When this happens, it is important for retailers to freshen up their campaigns by re-evaluating their current strategies and testing out some new ones. Below are some strategies that they may consider.Read More →

Breaking the Nigerian poverty cycle through entrepreneurial revolution Part 1
Nigeria is a country of absurd economic realities. The 13th largest crude oil producer in the world and the second largest economy in Africa earn an estimated $2.2 million a day in oil revenue. Yet, its GDP per capita, at just over $1,400, is among the lowest for the continent and 54 per cent of its 148 million people live on less than $1 per day. The figures are especially shocking because of the abundance of natural resources primarily oil and natural gas, and massive agricultural potential based on its climate and significant rural population.Read More →

Department of Public Safety officials are searching for a man accused of assaulting a highway patrol officer.
This happened around 2:45 a.m. on January 1st on the U.S. 60 near Extension Road.

Reyna then fled the scene in a vehicle with only one handcuff still on his left wrist.
The vehicle Reyna was driving has since been recovered.
According to DPS, Reyna is a convicted felon and has a history of violence towards law enforcement. He's described as 5' 7" tall, 200 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He has numerous tattoos.
