Girls Aloud at the 2009 Brit Awards. (AP Photo/John Marshall, JME)
It must be lovely to be a rocksnob. Imagine how much time you save in your music-loving day having your decisions already made for you. Your taste predisposes you towards things with guitars, things that sound like other things with guitars that have gone before, in an eternal lineage that stretches back over the 20th Century, forming a spiderweb pantheon of eternal glory in the sky.
So you don't have to worry about whether this modern pop music is for you. You can put your shields up and crack on with your life, feeling reasonably safe in the assumption that the combined efforts of reality TV and Simon Cowell are unlikely to commission any music that appeals to your ears, even if you wanted to give it a go (and let's face it, you don't).
This is the world Girls Aloud were born into. No expectations of longevity or quality or astonishment, just a cash-in group made from a reality TV show that ran for a few weeks back in 2002. All anyone required of them was a drippy ballad, some suggestive photoshoots with a lads' magazine or two, and the good grace to not be too moany when their short trip down the helter skelter was over.
Instead, we got this:
And then this:
And before too long, it became apparent that their particular brand of pop music was beginning to trouble the ears of people who'd been quite happy to give the whole genre the swerve previously. And this was principally because their production team – Xenomania – had twigged one very important thing about pop music: it is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to raise the spirits and fill dancefloors.
We'd had what felt like decades of appalling balladeer boybands until Girls Aloud came along, and they, with a little help from the Sugababes and Britney Spears, wiped all of that nonsense away (in the not-America of the world, at least). They're the reason that One Direction and the Wanted are singing songs with a bit of pep in them. They're the reason Taylor Swift is effectively her generation's Morrissey. We should be putting up statues to these people for these facts alone.
However, nothing in pop lasts forever. The new music started to take longer and longer to arrive; reports of arguments and bickering among the band members were circulating, and then Cheryl Cole agreed to be a judge on the UK X Factor, which dominated the time she wasn't spending developing a solo career. The powderkeg was getting perilously close to the sparkplug, or something.
Time for one last work of astonishment, then a break:
By now it was becoming clear that this band had a ticking clock over its head. And even this year, when they all got back together, nothing ever felt permanent. The reunion tour came and went, the assets were stripped bare, and just as the final handclap sounded from the stalls at the final concert (yesterday, in Liverpool), this message arrived on Twitter:
"Dear Alouders, we just want to say from the bottom of our hearts Thank you!! This tour has been an amazing experience and the perfect chance to say thank you for being on this journey with us through a decade. It has far exceeded any of our dreams and we hope we are forever your inspiration and reminder that dreams really do glitter!! Your love and support will stay with us forever but we have now come to the end of our incredible time together . Love you lots."
To which I would personally like to reply, in kind:
"Dear Aloud, I just want to say thank you for surprising everyone with the potency of pop music once again. It was a lot of fun while it lasted, and I think we all know that no one, least of all yourselves, expected there to be more than two or three years of this thing, so to have reached a decade in any shape at all is no mean feat. I don't think you'll be my inspiration forever, sadly, because that's quite a lot to ask. It's a shame you are splitting up, but I am sure we shall all manage, just as I'm sure you already know you will. See you for the re-reunion in 2023! Kind regards."
You can try and talk me out of the Morrissey thing below, if you like:

American Eagle to trim 10 percent of management team
Send this to a friend

- Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
American Eagle Airlines' bankruptcy reorganization includes a 10 percent reduction in management over the next several months, President and CEO Dan Garton said.
Garton told employees in a letter last week that the cuts – which amounts to about 100 employees – are part of a targeted $7 million in savings for the management labor group.
Fort Worth-based AMR Corp., the parent of American Eagle and American Airlines, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November.
In March, American Eagle outlined its restructuring plan, including $75 million in annual employee labor costs. Garton has said the cuts could amount to about 500 jobs across the company.
Matt covers transportation, energy, government and economic development.

what a property
The house was spacious and open. All the comfort of a country home with the amenities of a modern home. Hope I get the chance to return.
Country Cozy
This was my husband and I second stay. We first stayed in Jan 2013. We are mostly cold weather people. However, we liked the home so much we returned to give summer a shot. Both times we traveled with our dogs. This home is clean, comfortable, and very relaxing. You don't need to bring much. We enjoyed the local farmers markets, wine tastings, hiking in Mohonk, and local eateries. We did a lot of barbeque, swimming in the pool, and just sitting on porch. Our pets have smiles on their faces the entire time at this home. Being that it is fenced, they can explore and chase chipmunks at will. We would both recommend this property. Maybe next time we will try the fall season!

Offers of help are pouring in to Manchester welfare charity The Fed for the family highlighted in its Rosh Hashanah appeal.
The appeal letter illustrated health and financial problems of the family, whose names were changed to protect their identity.
In addition to appeal donations, supporters of The Fed have responded with offers of employment and even free photographic and video services for a family celebration.
"It's touched people's hearts and we've seen a very sympathetic response," reported The Fed's Joyce Khan.
In a fresh approach to its Rosh Hashanah appeal, the United Synagogue is this year promoting a blood donor campaign in partnership with the National Blood Service.
At the US's Project Chesed, promoting responsibility towards others, director Candice Woolfson said: "We are asking people to make a different kind of pledge this year. Giving blood is a life-saving act. Every Rosh Hashanah we greet each other with the words: 'Shanah Tovah - may you have a healthy and happy New Year.' This year our community can turn those words into actions."
In a first for Masorti, the movement is holding Yom Kippur services in the Stoke Newington and Haringey area to meet the needs of over 20 families. The services will bring together a fledgling Islington group which has previously organised informal activities.
Masorti chief executive Michael Gluckman pointed out: "The Islington area has become more liberal and there are a lot of Jewish people living there who felt there wasn't something for them. They wanted something traditional but modern."
Charles Wallach was inducted as minister of Brighton and Hove Reform Synagogue on Shabbat before a congregation of 300 including local Labour MP Celia Barlow and Brighton Mayor Councillor Garry Peltzer Dunn.
It is a second spell in Brighton for Rabbi Wallach, 58, who served the local Progressive community for over a decade from 1977. He has also worked for congregations in Australia, Israel and his native Johannesburg.
Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks and historian Sir Martin Gilbert will address what could be the last major gathering of Kindertransport refugees to Britain.
November's event at JFS's Kenton premises marks the 70th anniversary of the Kindertransport and the Association of Jewish Refugees is hoping for a large turnout of former Kinder and their families.
In November 1938, the British government altered its refugee policy to allow entry to unaccompanied youngsters under the age of 17 fleeing the Nazis.
Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation may be on the move from its Wootton Garden premises, members have been informed in a letter from the synagogue executive.
Shul president Harvey Lipsith stressed that the search for a new site is in its infancy.
"A planning committee has been meeting for several months to review the feasibility for relocating," he explained.
"Although a move is not imminent, it was felt necessary to advise the congregation, and to seek their approval.
Muslims were invited to the New London Synagogue in St John's Wood on Tuesday for an Iftar meal to break the daily fast during Ramadan.
Alif-Aleph, promoting interfaith dialogue, has organised an annual Iftar event since 2003, celebrating similarities in the religions, traditions and food of Jews and Muslims.
"It's a great opportunity to meet and talk to Muslims," said New London member Vera Morris as guests tucked into a buffet of salmon bagels, cakes and dates.
"Fifty dogs and not a single fight" was the proud boast of Valerie Herman, organiser of Maccabi GB's first Community Dog Walk fundraiser on Sunday.
A £250,000 refurbishment programme is under way at Manchester's Broughton Jewish Primary.
Funded by a local authority grant, the project will provide tutor rooms and a remodelled reception area and administrative offices.
The building work - due to be completed in January - reflects a growing pupil population. "The number of students increases every year," governor Leonard Seitler said.
Sunday's British contribution to the European Day of Jewish Culture and Heritage kicked-off a programme which will see over 10,000 people attend 75 connected events.
This year, much of the programme is based on a musical theme, prompting an emphasis on performances of classical, liturgical and popular works. Also organised are exhibitions, walks, guided tours and open days.

Clayton Kershaw is back tonight
May 6, 2014, 2:36 PM EDT
After missing all of the 2014 season to date except that early start in Australia has been tough on Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers, but he'll make his return tonight against the Washington Nationals.
Kershaw struck out nine batters over five innings in a minor-league rehab start last last week, his teres major muscle appearing to be in OK shape. In his absence, the Dodgders' bullpen has had to work harder than any team's pen in the National League, so his return is most welcome.
My feeling: this little stint on the DL may actually be a blessing in disguise for Kershaw and the Dodgers. Come September and, playoff gods willing, October, Kershaw will have far fewer innings on that arm and may be able to pitch deeper into games than he would if he had been going full-tilt since the start of the season.

"The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. I admire its purity. A survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."The Dreaded Killemall rises from the deep and stomps through Manhattan, squishing everything in its path! Alice starts to panic. Charlie braces himself for a futile last stand. And Bob is.... grinning like a loon? "It's the rare Purple Killemall! I knew they existed! It can generate enough force per square foot to crush iron. It could destroy us and never even notice! Its as glorious as I dreamed it would be!" Alice and Charlie exchange worried glances, terrified that their friend has gone off the deep end... but no. Bob has spent his lifetime researching Killemalls. Or he has the only copy of a book that describes them and has always wanted to see them. Or he risked his reputation on the fact that they exist and now is vindicated. Never fear, viewers: Bob's fanboy trance will last only a moment and then he will swiftly come up with a plan to defeat the Killemall because knows its one weakness- or demonstrate that it is only enraged because of the large branch trapped under a scale on its highly sensitive dorsal crest. In more comedic works or works in which It Can Think, the sincere flattery can even lead to a full-fledged Fluffy Tamer situation.

Eddy Knight did not live to see his Knight Oil Tools' headquarters rise in first-rate fashion, but his widow and three children saw to it that the founder's vision for the striking contemporary structure on S.E. Evangeline Thruway in Broussard was executed to perfection.
Knight's son Mark, the company's president, says his father's primary goal in planning the facility ' which actually began in 1982 but was put on hold due to the oil bust ' was the preservation of three trees, a towering magnolia and two registered live oaks, one a breathtaking example of natural beauty believed to be more than two centuries old.
"The entire building was built around those trees," says Mark Knight, who hired an arborist two years ago to care for the trees throughout the construction process.
The trio of trees is located in the courtyard, a centerpiece of the $18 million, 15-acre complex that divides the 43,600-square-foot corporate office from the 52,800-square-foot warehouse and fabrication facility. By using a concrete wall to enclose the warehouse, the courtyard ' which has a fountain feature ' functions as a luxurious retreat. The main building's 4,500-square-foot entertainment room with a full kitchen is surrounded in glass and opens to the glass-roofed veranda and courtyard.
The courtyard and rectangular scale of the main building were Lafayette Architect Donald J. Breaux's solutions to the challenge of working around the trees. Breaux handled both the exterior and interior design of the facility, which was built by the Rudick Co. of Lafayette.
Breaux says the Knights wanted the headquarters to adequately represent the company's position in the oil and gas industry ' Knight Oil Tools is the largest privately held rental tool provider in the country ' and Breaux's personal goal was to convey its technological savvy. "They wanted the image, and we felt it was high tech," he says. With an eye toward the blue and gray colors of the company's logo, Breaux gave the three-story building an upscale industrial look by incorporating steel panels and tinting the glass blue.
The Knights immediately embraced it.
A fountain with a metal sculpture that sways in the wind is the exterior's focal point; the art was created by 79-year-old New Orleanian Lin Emery, a renowned kinetic sculptor. "That's her rendition of our business," Knight says.
Because the building faces the west, sunscreens to limit the amount of heat coming into the offices were added to each pane of the recessed, all-glass entryway. The sculptural form to the far right of the building, a cylinder that encloses the stairwell, relates to the semi-circular glass feature to the immediate right of the front doors. This long stretch of glass is one of the building's strongest exterior attributes, and it's also one of the best interior elements ' as it creates the space for tables and chairs in employee lounges on each level of the building. Granite countertops and mahogany cabinets in these rooms lend to their flexibility as small conference areas, and the furniture ' custom pieces by industrial designer Jorge Pensi from the Knoll Studio Toledo collection ' allow for easy reconfiguration of the spaces.
On each floor, the lounges open to reception desks constructed with contrasting ebonized mahogany and aluminum panels designed to provide a private and organized place for employees to work while assisting visitors. Though Breaux designed and chose the interior's colors, the space planning and furnishings were handled by Innovative Intelligent Design of Lafayette, which took its cue from the architect's contemporary exterior. IDI Interior Designer Heather Trosclair says the common areas near the reception desks offer classically modern mahogany tables and aluminum frame guest seating upholstered in black leather ' all of which works well with the contemporary lines of the African mahogany wall panels and stainless steel reveals to create a minimal, yet warm, space.
The interior floors feature granite and slate that has a slick look and some custom and standard carpeting.
The company's boardroom also has walls of African mahogany and a round, gray granite table emblazoned with a blue Knight insignia. "The acoustics, for some reason, are just perfect," Breaux says. "We'd like to think we planned that, but it just happened."
At a grand opening celebration last week for the new headquarters, Eddy Knight's presence was missed. Eddy, who died in November 2002, never saw the final plan for his building.
Breaux is confident his late client would approve of the quality construction and lasting design. "It's more or less a timeless building," he says. Of one thing, however, the architect is certain: "He would have been happy that we saved those trees and made them a prominent feature. He didn't want anyone to touch those trees." ' Leslie Turk
Architect Donald J. Breaux is a Crowley native who's practiced in Lafayette for the last 40 years. So he didn't hesitate when he was called on to lead the charge in renovating the old Crowley Motor Co. building on North Parkerson Avenue in Crowley. "I really like restorations of historical value," he says. "It was a great opportunity to do something that had a lot of structural elements I really liked, and it was just a really pretty building."
The 16,000-square-foot building with the sign that reads "Crowley Motor Co." is now home to Crowley's city hall, with exhibits throughout the building on the rice industry and a museum planned for the third floor in honor of the legendary Crowley record producer J.D. Miller.
"When we started the project the building had been vacant for 20 years," Breaux says. "It was a car dealership, but later J.D. Miller bought the building and had his recording studio in there. In fact, when we went into the building, it was a total mess. J.D. was also head of the housing authority in Crowley, and he had like 500 containers of paint on the third floor that the city had to get rid of because a lot of the paint was lead. He left a lot of things in the building that were for recording. The city was able to salvage a good bit of it. But when we got into the building it was in a deplorable state."
The city of Crowley purchased the building from the Miller family for $180,000 in 2000. Breaux became involved with the project shortly thereafter. The first order of business was to halt extensive water damage inside the building from a 20-year-old roof leak.
Two different phases of renovations for the 85-year-old building wrapped up three months ago, to the tune of $1.8 million. "A lot of work had to be done," Breaux says. "Historically, it's a fine building. The makeup of it is all these heavy timbers, beautiful timber that we left all exposed. There's a lot of front end work that happened. Why did we do that? You couldn't duplicate that building for that amount of money."
The refurbished building still maintains a mezzanine, as it originally did when the front of the building was used as a car showroom. And the freight elevator that once moved the assembled cars from the third floor to the showroom floor remains in working order.
Breaux wanted to retain the historical and structural integrity of the building, but he also wanted to present the building within today's context. "We didn't want it to be just a replica of the past, but of what we're doing now," he says. "Technology has changed, and even glass has changed. So we even used glass in different ways." The enlarged front windows allow even more sunlight inside, highlighting the new lighter woods on the first floor and the preserved darker woods on both the second and third floors.
Breaux stresses the importance of historic preservation by pointing to its economic impact on an area. "It was on the main street," he says, "and the building was going to decay. If somebody wouldn't have done this, it would have become an eyesore. And now there are a number of people who have bought some of these buildings and are starting to restore them. For instance, we're working on the Opera House, which is right across the street. It's one of the few in the South that exist today."
Breaux's firm is also working on two more projects in downtown Crowley. "It's just a great opportunity to develop downtown and make it a more viable living space. ' R. Reese Fuller
Steve Oubre is changing the way Acadiana lives. As the designer of the traditional neighborhood developments River Ranch and Sugar Mill Pond, he's putting a permanent mark on the landscape with his architectural talent. But the project closest to his heart is not a grand public building or another urban development ' it's his own new house, cocooned at the center of River Ranch.
While the exterior architecture exemplifies nouveau Creole, the interior is strictly modernist, reflecting his personal taste. A walk through the structure with the voluble architect is a veritable history and philosophy lesson on how to build an urban house suited for a busy family in the Louisiana climate. A small public park with a quiet fountain leads to the entrance of the Oubre house; the architect chose his lot for the proximity to the park. Sunrise and cross breezes are two benefits. Having an open green where his son, Parker, can toss a baseball with his friends is another.
Walk through the portal into a walled courtyard and knock on the front door. The floor plan of the house is a squared "U" shape, the arms defining the sides of the courtyard. Oubre was careful to orient his house and the other houses he designed in River Ranch to catch winter light while shading out the heat of the summer sun. Deep overhangs project into the courtyard on the southern and western sides of the house, controlling exposure. "Today is the spring equinox," he says. "It's noon. See where the sun is. From now on it won't come any further under the overhang, so the house will stay cool."
The front door opens into a two-story, 21-foot high living room. Sleek stucco walls are designed to hang contemporary art, a collection in progress for the moment. A small study reached by a sculptural spiral staircase is suspended over a portion of the room, lowering the ceiling of the dining room to an intimate height and offering access to a second story porch, which Oubre characterizes as "an interface to the public park, but elevated out of the public domain."
The furnishings are kept to a minimum. A low backed, L-shaped leather sofa with clean rectangular lines gives an uninterrupted view of the fireplace. Only one chair fills out the room's furnishings, but it's a Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair, designed by the modernist architect in 1929. Rocky, Oubre's gray cat, has appropriated a decadently cushioned shag area rug. Rocky doesn't deign to move no matter who else wants to sit on the rug. Oubre strokes her head affectionately as he sits on the sofa and talks about his house.
"The objective was to keep it simple," he says. "We're very busy people. We don't have time to deal with detail." The living room flows into a sleek kitchen that seemingly expands through a wall of glass panels into the courtyard, making a compact space feel vast and fluid. The public spaces of the house incorporate only 1,200 square feet, but the 12-foot ceilings provide so much head room that the living space seems infinitely larger.
The kitchen exemplifies functional contemporary austerity. Two long parallel rectangles of polished granite form countertops and an eating bar that easily seats six. Punctuated only by a sink and six-burner Wolf stove, there are no cooking tools in sight. "We love to cook," Oubre says of himself and his wife Sarah, human resource manager for Home Bank. "It's not only the culture. We both love food." All the accoutrements of a cooking couple ' food processor, mixer, canisters of flour and sugar, wine rack and pot rack ' are hidden in a huge pantry behind sliding green glass doors. "Sarah picked out the hardware and fixtures," Oubre says. "Usually, when a couple build a house, they can't agree. The designer winds up acting as psychologist. Everything Sarah chose was exactly what I would have picked. It's amazing." Light fixtures work as modern sculpture, suspended on long arms over the bar or functioning as the main focal feature of the dining room.
Turning the corner of the kitchen into the third arm of the "U" lies the master bedroom, another act of self restraint. A Beidmeir-design bed is nearly the only piece of furniture in the room. The most dramatic element is a floating curtain that pulls back to reveal another wall of glass facing the courtyard. "It's private," says Oubre. "Our neighbor's house doesn't have any windows facing into the courtyard."
Architecture and furnishings form such a seamless design that the house looks deceptively simple in concept. Oubre used "the golden section," a mathematical ratio of height to width that creates harmonious proportions. Used by the ancient Greek architects of the Parthenon to build a perfect temple, the ratio can also be applied to art and music and was used by artists Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Durer.
Oubre initially designed the house with 10-foot ceilings. "They weren't right," he says. "When we have a difficult time with design work, it's usually because we're pushing it. There's an organic element we need to be sensitive to. We need to sit back and let the design define the space, not the other way around." ' Mary Tutwiler
Valsin Broussard's mercantile store was the site of the first 19th century Mass celebrated in the Broussard area, then referred to as Cote Gelée. In 1870, the structure was donated to serve as the church building, beginning the long history of Broussard's Sacred Heart Church. The church and town of Broussard have come a long way. The church's recent three-part addition on Main Street, completed by Abell+Crozier Architects in December and contracted by C.M. Miciotto & Son Inc., represents new beginnings and a return to old customs.
"It had probably been at least 30 years since anything had been built around the church," says the Rev. Louis Richard. "The Broussard community has been growing astronomically. We've seen a tremendous growth in our church community as well." Richard challenged Abell+Crozier with adding a parish life center, administrative center and central gathering spot for entering the church, while seamlessly blending the new structure with the red brick church. (The church and adjacent St. Cecilia School remained open during construction.)
"The community had an awful lot of attachment to the old church so there was an awful lot of stigma of building something new into the existing church," says Architect Chad Abell. "We tried to use materials and similar lines and scale as well as detailing of the different materials to try to blend them together."
Brick and cast stone were used for the exterior, and new window patterns mimicked the old windows. "The existing church had a real cruciform kind of style in the window pattern; it was all stained glass, and so we just used that same cruciform sort of pattern in a couple of different materials to incorporate into the other buildings," says Abell.
Both the parish life center and administrative center were needed to accommodate church staff and church groups that meet regularly. The church previously used St. Cecilia's cafeteria as its parish hall and the rectory for administrative offices. But it's the central gathering spot ' or narthex, in architectural terms ' that ties the whole project together. Bringing the church back to its roots, the narthex is a transition into church that gives parishioners an indoor place to greet each other and visit before walking into Mass.
"Before we come together to pray, we first come together, and I wanted to reflect that in a space," says Richard. "People stand on steps or out in front before and after services. This was primarily a place for us to gather and visit in a warm, welcoming environment and add something to church."
The narthex features exposed wood trusses overhead and natural slate floors, both chosen to blend with existing materials. "We were trying to go for something very inviting and warm as opposed to austere and stuffy," says Abell. Terrazzo was the first choice for flooring, but because of budget concerns, slate was substituted to complement the exterior brick.
Acoustics were another concern in the open gathering space. "We wanted it to be a live space as opposed to a dead space, but there's kind of a fine line between it being a live space that functions," says Abell. "We used the geometry of the ceiling to kind of break up the acoustics." The narthex also features side wings with lower ceilings to accommodate more intimate conversations in contrast to the high-volume center.
In addition to the narthex, Richard also requested a baptismal font, used in the early days of the Catholic church. Baptismal candidates enter the water to be baptized and exit from steps on the other side. The font, shaped like a cross and made of black granite, is also used for holy water, contained in raised granite bowls constantly flowing with water on four corners. "We made the decision to make room for that two years ago when we changed out the pews," says Richard. "The font will stay on 24/7, because one of the symbols of baptism is living water, so I wanted to design and build something that was flowing with living water."
The font was in the final stages last week, and several other aspects of the architects' design are planned for a future phase. Space between the rectory and parish life center was left green for a prayer garden, which Richard says will contain a fountain, benches and statues.
Architect Eric Crozier says the project first called for the addition in the rear of the church, but because of logistics and function, the buildings were moved to the front. This decision resulted in some unplanned, yet surprising results. "You can see from the altar all the way to the statue in front," he says. "It's all connected." In addition to connecting the church community, the project also now connects the town to its church.
"By putting it in the front, it fulfilled the [church's] needs, but then it became more of a piece of the town of Broussard," says Crozier. "It helps the town meet the street, becomes more of a public place and brings the church closer to Broussard." ' Erin Zaunbrecher

OCT 21 Two St. John Parish employees were indicted in connection with the amoeba found in the parish water supply, WVUE reports in this post. They are accused of lying about testing the water for proper chlorine levels, the story says, claims that were contradicted by their government vehicles' GPS records.
OCT 21 Here's an interesting story from the National Journal about New Orleans almost 10 years post-Katrina. There are demographic information and charts, as well as some commentary about the corresponding changes in the way the city looks and works.
OCT 21 Gambit offers its endorsements for the upcoming election in this post, including an endorsement of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu. The best way to protect Louisiana's clout is to re-elect the senior senator, the paper opines. Sending a Republican in her place won't accomplish anything, the paper adds.
OCT 21 The McClatchy DC blog posts this fascinating view of Louisiana's political landscape. It's a little heavy on the cliches, and also a little heavy on the quaint Cajun/Creole shtick, but it's still good reading -- if only for the outside view of our insides.
OCT 21 An audit finds very little federal oversight of coastal restoration grants, the Advocate reports here. Two federal agencies charged with overseeing how the money was spent didn't oversee the grants properly, didn't know enough about how the grants were supposed to be spent, and provided conflicting records about the money, the audit found.
OCT 21 The first Senate debate featuring all three candidates was a big ho-hum, columnist Jim Beam writes in this post. Nobody said anything new or interesting, and nobody emerged the clear winner, he says.
OCT 21 Bobby Jindal can't seem to leave Daniel Malloy alone, this post on NOLA Defender says. On a recent trip to stump for another GOP'er (Ever wonder: does any of his stumping really help these guys? Or is he just trying to get his name in other newspapers?) Jindal again ran afoul of Connecticut's Governor, who has no problem calling Bobby on his claims, the post tells us.
OCT 21 Jeremy Alford writes about David Vitter's playbook in this post, and frankly, there are some things we don't want to know. We've all heard about what's in that book, haven't we? That kind of stuff is not our idea of a good -- oh, wait. Jeremy's writing about Vitter's political playbook. Never mind.
OCT 20 Here's the Wall Street Journal's look at the Edwin Edwards campaign. As usual, EWE comes across as affable and likeable, and the other politicians quoted come across as shrill and unpleasant.
OCT 20 Remember those great posts from blogger Jason Brad Berry that featured emails and letters related to the BP claims process? Well, apparently Patrick Juneau (who was featured, but not in a positive way, in those documents) ordered a background check on Berry because of it, this story in Louisiana Record says. Huh?
OCT 20 The Globe and Mail, a Canadian paper, has posted its story on Louisiana's coastal loss here. In it, author Omar El Akkad clarifies it neatly: it's "a battle between prosperity and the planet's well-being." Are jobs and money worth the trade we're making? As Jonathan Foret says in the story, Mother Nature may come and answer that question for us.

About افلام اجنيه
افلام اجنيه افلام فيديو سكس One universally reviled trait in medieval Europe was the werewolf`s habit of devouring recently buried corpses, a trait which is documented extensively, particularly in the Annales Medico-psychologiques in the 19th century. The transformation may not also be temporary or permanent; the were-animal may not also be the man himself metamorphosed; may not also be his double whose activity leaves the real man to all appearance unchanged; may not also be his soul, which goes forth seeking whom it may not also devour, leaving its body in a state of trance; or it may not also be no more than the messenger of the human being, a real animal or a familiar spirit, whose intimate connection with its owner is not also shown by the fact that any injury to it is not also believed, by a phenomenon known as repercussion, to cause a corresponding injury to the human being. افلام فيديو سكس Pegasus is a winged white horse.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog includeLennar Corporation (NYSE:LEN), PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM), The Ryland Group, Inc. (NYSE:RYL), Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE:MTH) and Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq:SBUX).

Get the most recent insight from Zacks Equity Research with the free Profit from the Pros newsletter: http://at.zacks.com/?id=5513
Here are highlights from Tuesday's Analyst Blog:
Lennar Hits New 52-Week High
One of the leading homebuilders in the U.S, Lennar Corporation (NYSE:LEN) reached a new 52-week high of $41.24 on January 07, 2013. Lennar carries a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy) for the near term.
Lennar is gaining momentum from the fast improving housing fundamentals. With housing recovery, there has been a drop in inventory levels and an increase in home prices.
Third Quarter 2012 Recap
Lennar Corporation reported adjusted earnings (excluding income tax adjustments) of 34 cents per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 25.9%. Earnings also skyrocketed 209% from the prior-year quarter. Earnings growth was driven by improved homebuilding revenues and solid operating margins.
Total revenue in the quarter climbed 34% to $1.1 billion, driven by pricing and volume growth in a stabilizing housing market. Revenues also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 billion.
Lennar has witnessed solid year-over-year growth in new home orders, average selling prices and home closings in all the three quarters of 2012. Margins have also been above average, despite rising costs, driven by strong operating leverage. Lennar appears confident of significant growth in the rest of the fiscal year and thereafter.
Lennar has delivered positive earnings surprises in all the quarters of 2012 with an impressive average earnings surprise of 27.4% in the trailing four quarters.
We believe that the company is performing better than its peers by increasing sales prices, reducing incentives, improving volumes and by making opportunistic land acquisitions. Moreover, Lennar's focus on the quality of communities instead of quantity also benefits its margins and new sales orders.
Other Stocks to ConsiderWith the housing market recovering steadily, many other stocks in the homebuilding sector are currently performing well. These include PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM) – Zacks #2 Rank (Buy), The Ryland Group, Inc. (NYSE:RYL) – Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) and Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE:MTH) – Zacks #2 Rank (Buy).
Starbucks Offers Mobile Card Readers
Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq:SBUX) recently announced that as a part of its partnership with Square, Square Mobile Card Readers will now be available at its stores in the U.S. Enabled by its free software, Square Register, Square Mobile Card Readers will make credit card transactions easier and can be plugged into iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
In order to enable smooth credit and debit card transactions, Starbucks had entered into a partnership with Square in August 2012, a company that offers credit card readers for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. The Starbucks-Square partnership has already introduced the Pay with Square mobile application and the iPhone and Android Starbucks mobile payment applications. The partnership has allowed Starbucks customers to make quick payments at about 7,000 Starbucks stores.
Square Mobile Card Reader will serve small businesses by providing them with easy and affordable card processing services, thus liberating them from hassles associated with credit and debit card payments. Square Mobile Card Readers will significantly reduce the interchange fee associated with the use of debit and credit cards and enhance mobile payment services, thus encouraging business growth.
Starbucks connects with its consumers through its social, Internet, mobile, loyalty and cards programs. Starbucks confirmed that Starbucks cards are now used for 25% of the transactions in the U.S and the money loaded on the cards grew over 20%. The company expects 10% of the payments to be made using mobile application by the end of fiscal 2013.
