Current industry conversations emphasize on retailers' search for the next competitive edge. Buzzwords ranging from omnichannel to unified commerce to an enhanced in-store experience are presently sending retailers scrambling in all directions to find the perfect solution for consumers' needs. It's no secret retailers are in search of the "secret sauce" that will differentiate them among their competitors and leave a positive sentiment in their minds – all while maintaining their bottom line.
Have you heard the true story about today's online shopper? It's a tale about a retail milestone with a crazy plot twist that has recently earned countless headlines: online shoppers make more than half of all their retail purchases on the web. But, as the plot thickens, the story continues on to tell us that eCommerce revenues still trail the number of orders by a significant margin.
Wave after disruptive wave of change is washing over the Retail industry. Though E-Commerce is having a large impact on traditional brick and mortar Retail, workforce changes and cost models are about to land the largest change in decades on the Retail world. Rapid, targeted changes in your onboarding and training strategies will substantially reduce the pain.
Judging by the current explosive growth of images on the Internet, a picture may be worth much more than a thousand words. Consider Facebook, the social media giant, which stores more than 250 billion user-generated photos; and the fact that an average web page now contains 60 images. One of the reasons for the growth in images on the web is that users love images; for example, look at the growth of Instagram, it has over 40 billion images shared.
As my colleague pointed out in a recent piece with IRT, technology plays a significant role in the life of a retail associate – beginning at the onboarding phase and extending into the various activities of an everyday shift. And, as a result of changing consumer expectations, the use cases for multiple associate-used technologies are only increasing. For example, mobile POS options and tablets allow associates to better meet shopper needs (e.g., check out rapidly, determine inventory availability) and increase conversion rates. The ability to optimize the queue and sell items not in the physical store is now a necessity to succeed in brick-and-mortar retail.

Mexico has a longstanding reputation for being a safe haven of fraud. Further south in Brazil, international press coverage of Rio's stint in the international Olympic limelight has been tinged with stories about that country's undesirable fraudsters. According to new research from ACI Worldwide and Aite Group, those reputations aren't without merit. According to the study, 2016 Global Consumer Card Fraud: Where Card Fraud Is Coming From, 56 percent of consumers in Mexico experienced card fraud in 2015. Just shy of half of Brazilian consumers were victims of the crime.

But this year I exited the Convention Center feeling exceptionally informed, largely because of one single session — a session centered on the importance of training and practical planning should an active shooter enter the premises.

Barclays Stops India Retail Lending
MUMBAI – Barclays PLC Thursday announced its decision to stop giving retail loans in India, a move that a person familiar with the matter said could trigger as many as 200 job cuts in the British bank's local operations.
The bank's decision comes as it plans to focus on its deposit, wealth management, investment and corporate banking business in the South Asian nation.
"As part of Barclays decision to consolidate and build a sustained profitable Indian business based on our competitive strengths, it has decided to not book new retail loans in India but maintain its deposit business," the bank said in an official statement.
The statement didn't mention any job cuts.
Barclays' decision to scale back retail lending comes after having to battle spiraling bad loans in its unsecured lending portfolio in the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2008. Bad loans had reached as much of 6.37% of total loans by the end of September 2009, according to published data on Barclays' India unit.
Barclays' difficulties with bad loans on its retail book reflect the broader challenges foreign banks have faced as they struggle to compete with the massive retail network of Indian banks.
Barclays has already cut a third of the client relationship team at its commercial banking operations in July, as part of the move to combine the bank's commercial banking and investment banking units.
Some other global banks are also trimming their Indian operations. Nomura Holdings Inc., for example, laid off six-seven staff on its Indian investment banking team, including the heads of its local investment banking and equity capital markets businesses, as part of global cost-cutting measures, people familiar with the matter said in November.
With banks like Citigroup Inc., BNP Paribas S.A. and UBS AG also announcing job cuts globally, analysts expect more scale-backs to hit the Indian operations of at least a few more foreign banks over the next few quarters.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Gaborik Ready To Lead
by Paul on 09/12/05 at 06:54 AM ET
Comments (0)
In the past two years, the Wild have jettisoned veterans such as Andrew Brunette, Richard Park, Sergei Zholtok and Antti Laaksonen to make room for untested prospects whose time has arrived. The veterans' departures have created a production and leadership vacuum that Gaborik is eager to fill. "Expectations for me as a player and a leader will be higher. I'm cool with that," he said. "I've seen a lot of things. I'm not going to be like I was two or three years ago, kind of quiet. There are a lot of young guys coming up. We need someone older who should spice it up a little."

The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Edition 2010 is searchable on the Web here. Or available in print [.pdf].
You will need the CIP to report student's fields of study and program completions for the enrollment and degrees conferred database.
CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980, with revisions occurring in 1985, 1990, 2000 and 2010. The Office of Higher Education uses the CIP as it is the national taxonomic standard on academic program titles.

Kourtney Kardashian Is Bringing Back The One Piece! (Photos)Joanna Mazewski
Leave it to Kourtney Kardashian to start a new swimwear trend! The reality television star and celebrity mom was spotted sporting a one-piece black suit while she was enjoying a little pool time with Scott Disick and their two kids, Mason and Penelope, while at their hotel in Miami, Fla. on Sunday afternoon.
And yes, I do think the one-piece is awesome, especially if you still have a little jelly in that belly after having a few kids (that would be me!). Not everyone feels the need to be bikini-perfect, especially when you know you'll be bouncing around in a pool with your kids. We wouldn't want any of our goods saying hello, now would we? LOL.
Check out our photos of Kourtney Kardashian below!

'West Side Story', Around the World
Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of the first staging of the Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents musical West Side Story. It's been performed globally and translated into languages as diverse as Czech and Korean.
(Soundbite of play "West Side Story")
JACKI LYDEN, host:
When the Sharks and the Jets rumble in Japan, this is what it sounds like…
(Soundbite of play "West Side Story")
LYDEN: This is a Japanese staging of "West Side Story." There have been some 40,000 productions of the musical worldwide over the past 50 years.
"West Side Story" celebrates its golden anniversary on Wednesday. On that day, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED will tell the story behind the music. Today, though, we thought we'd pay tribute by giving you a little run through the show as it sounded far, far away from the west side of New York City. See if you can pick out the languages.
(Soundbite of play "West Side Story")
LYDEN: "West Side Story" as performed in Swedish, Hungarian, German, Czech, Korean, Polish, Italian, and Japanese.
And on Wednesday, "West Side Story's" 50th anniversary, Jeff London will have an appreciation of the musical on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, and check your local station listing and npr.org for an hour-long documentary, "A Place for Us: 50 Years of "West Side Story," hosted by my colleague, Scott Simon.

In the newer server versions when right clicking on My Computer / This PC, we are presented with the option to 'Manage', when clicked it opens the Server Manager, which can take up to 10-20 seconds in slower machines. In prior versions, this would open up compmgmt.msc and take 1-2 seconds to open.
At work we make small changes daylong and all our techs have coffee, donut, or phone in their free hands and cannot make use of the Winkey + X start menu. Thus avoiding those types of responses - double wink.
Is there any way we can just modify the registry forcing the Manage link to behave like it did in older versions of Windows Server i.e. spawn compmgmt.msc instead of server manager.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Legal | New York federal judge Colleen McMahon made several decisions last week in the case of Jack Kirby's heirs attempting to terminate Marvel's copyright of his works. The judge agreed with Marvel that it would be premature to make an accounting of how much money is at stake, but rejected a bid by Marvel to throw out the Kirby estate's main counterclaim. She also ruled that the Kirby estate's attempt to reclaim original art is barred by the statute of limitations, counterclaims of breach-of-contract and violation of the Lanham Act were tossed, and Disney will be part of the case, even though Marvel said it shouldn't be.
"In sum, the judge has narrowed the case to its most crucial issue. Both sides disagree about Kirby's working environment in the 1950s and 1960s when he, along with Stan Lee, conceived many of Marvel's most popular characters. The judge will soon be tasked with looking at Kirby's work history and some of the loose contracts and oral agreements that guided his efforts in those years," wrote Eriq Gardner. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Creators | Artist, letterer and colorist John D'Agostino died Nov. 29. D'Agostino started his career as a colorist for Timely Comics and was head of their coloring department for several years. He also worked for Archie Comics, Charlton Comics and Marvel Comics, and lettered the first few issues of Amazing Spider-Man in the 1960s. Tom Spurgeon offers an obituary. [Mark Evanier]

Retailing | Peter Hartlaub profiles James Sime, owner of Isotope comic book lounge in San Francisco: "Nobody made a comic store for women. They just didn't exist. I think women love comics just as much as men do, maybe even more. And there's so many great comics out there for everybody that I had to try. Isn't San Francisco the city that's all about just trying new things?" [San Francisco Chronicle]
News from New York started pouring out last week before New York Comic Con even started, as publishers got a jump-start on press releases leading into the show, and ICv2's Conference on Comics and Digital provided plenty of discussion points about the current and future state of the industry.
• At Comic Book Resources, Kiel Phegley has a thorough report from the conference, where Milton Griepp of ICv2 shared that industry sales are down in 2010, as comic sales are only slightly up at 1 percent, with a 20-percent decline in the graphic novel category. Manga sales are also down 20 percent. The bulk of the conference focused on an area where the story isn't quite so grim — digital comics. While ICv2's 2009 report gave a $500,000 to $1 million sales estimate for digital, 2010's number pointed toward a market of $6 to 8 million.
• Coinciding with the conference and the con, several companies, of course, had announcements regarding their digital plans. Dark Horse announced a new homegrown digital comics app that will work across the various Apple devices and on the web, offering single issues for $1.49. It will be available in January. BOOM! Studios made three announcements late last week, about its comics being available on the PSP and from MyDigitalComics.com. The publisher also announced the availability of Farscape through its comiXology app on the iPad and iPhone. Longbox announced that its comics app will be "the exclusive pre-installed service for purchasing, cataloguing and reading digital comics on all four of Notion Ink's announced tablets." And finally DC Comics announced Sunday that Hank Kanalz, former general manager of WildStorm, will head up the DC Digital Comics division in Burbank, Calif. Kanalz jumped right into his new role, leading a Sunday panel on DC's digital initiatives.
This Wednesday will see the release of the third issue of writer Roger Langridge and artist Chris Samnee's Thor: The Mighty Avenger. Anyone reading our weekly What Are You Reading column knows how much I've praised the first two issues. Samnee and I spoke briefly at this past June's HeroesCon and from there an email interview came together. In addition to Thor, we discuss some of Samnee's past work as well as his upcoming collaboration with writer Jim McCann on I Am An Avenger 1. Earlier today, CBR posted a five-page preview to Thor: The Mighty Avenger 3.
O'Shea: What's the most enjoyable aspect of working from a Roger Langridge script?
Samnee: Roger's scripts are really funny – I laugh out loud when I read them! I love the humor as well as his ability to tell quiet, emotional moments. Since Roger's also an artist, he's really good with pacing and page turns as well. And the scripts have a very silver-age feel, which is right up my alley.
O'Shea: I keep re-reading Thor: The Mighty Avenger 1 trying to figure out what my favorite scene was–and I can 't decide if it's when we first see the Rainbow Bridge on page 2; or the first scene where Thor smiles. Was the smiling Thor a character suggestion from Langridge or was that your idea?
Samnee: The smile was in the script. Roger made clear right from the outline for the book that this Thor smiles and enjoys himself. For me, that was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the book, as an artist and a reader of comics. I've worked on a lot of heavy books – it's a nice change of pace to be on something a bit lighter, a comic where the characters are having fun.
Saturday at Comic-Con International in San Diego, once upon a time, was "big movie day" at the con … back before every day became big movie day at the con. Still, today somewhat lived up to its reputation for being eventful, as the Avengers assembled on stage, Green Lantern movie footage was shown and one poor fan was stabbed in the eye while attending programming in Hall H, where several of the big movie panels took place. The victim was taken to UCSD Medical Center, while his attacker was taken away by police after attendees detained him.
In happier news, here's what was announced on the comics front:
• Marvel Editor-in-Chief and Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada confirmed that Marvel is "gonna be doing some CrossGen stuff." CrossGen, which published numerous titles like Sojourn, Way of the Rat, Abadazad and Meridian starting 1998, went bankrupt in 2004. Disney bought their assets that same year.
Their titles covered many different genres, from fantasy to horror to detective stories. "I think with the CrossGen stuff you're going to see us attempt a little more genre publishing, which I think is much-needed in our imprint," Quesada said. No word yet on what properties they plan to bring back.
• Kurt Busiek announced that American Gothic, the urban fantasy comic announced at last year's WildStorm panel, will now be called Witchlands. The series will be drawn by Connor Willumson. Busiek is also working on an Arrowsmith novel titled Arrowsmith: Far from the Fields We Know, which will include illustrations by Carlos Pacheco.
DC Comics is keeping PR guru and blogger Alex Segura really busy this week, as they continue to roll out project announcements over on the Source blog. The latest is a new Ragman one-shot, called Ragman: Suit of Souls. Christos Gage will write, with Stephen Segovia providing art.
"Could the souls he has consigned to redeem themselves within his suit have the answers he needs about the great beyond?" Segura posted. "What mysteries surround Rory's own father? Gage and Segovia give readers a look inside one of the DCU's most unique and peculiar heroes in this one-shot event."
The former Shadowpact member's one-shot comes out in October.
This week we were treated to the announcement of an all-new title for our upcoming Heroic Age: Avengers Academy. From Mike McKone of Exiles fame and Christos Gage of Avengers: The Initiative fame, one may take a moment and think to yourself that this whole 'Academy' idea sounds like a less-ROTC version of the Initiative program. In fact, one could say that giving up four Avengers titles (New, Mighty, Dark and the Initiative) for … four Avengers titles ('Adjectiveless', New, Secret and Academy) might seem a little 'welcome to the old boss, same as the new boss' by the mighty Marvel marketing machine. On the other hand, this is the Heroic Age; it wouldn't be the same if all slates weren't cleared, new #1s heralded and new storylines started afresh, even if they are rather similar to the stories we have right now.
In fact, Avengers: The Initiative eventually grew out of its Event Book origin into something more important than the title on the cover of the book would suggest: essentially, it was a start point for the Marvel Universe. Enough old characters came and went, new characters allowed the reader to have a fresh look at teams and tropes on how heroes and villains worked in the ol' MU. With the groundwork well laid out for Avengers Academy (well, suspected groundwork considering how much we have to go on with the title right now), this could be the most important book coming out of the new age of heroes.

Hopefully this problem is mine, as I am having a problem with a site that is being used for a fund raiser tomorrow.
I created a page and when I tried to make it a child of another page I found only 20 items listed in the menu (the site has roughly 40 pages). Looking at other pages previously created, I found some menus worked (listed all pages) while others did not.
Any ideas?

I just need to use my free speech her to thank Alumni from getting my baby Dime Bag a new home far away from my failed Ripples Daddy failed Rippled Grand Daddy John Osborne. He will just have to sit on his own stank finger now. And we see he does. It's a sad ending for him on a lifetime of ignorance and failure. Also, thanks Alumni for all the sandwiches when my failed Daddy made me live in a McDonald's dumpster. Team sure could not, and did not, afford any help. Looks like my failed Daddy is dragging a few sick trolls with him down there, but it will still be so lonely and no one there will believe. They will never believe my failed Daddy.
That's cool my failed Ripples Daddy failed Ripples Grand Daddy. Let your endless hate blotch all over your fat belly and Uncle Patrick Mitchell and all your failed IDs will certainly lap it up. But why does your snitching guilt and that permanent stain still linger? Year after year after year after year is how your pain filled eternity is served. Do your time failure. Alumni and Boy Scouts Of America have booked your eternal fun. And with your every word you accept that horrible fate and show you deserve nothing else.
And you're still a huge mentally ill loser up here showing your bleeding gape. My my how the owners ruined you. Do you think another 15 of your spamming hate will show any positive results? You don't have to work so hard, you and my snitch Daddy John Osborne will be burning forever. That part is certain. Guaranteed.
Facts are facts, but my failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy John Osborne z50com's many many lies in so many many hate IDs remain failed. He wallows in a daily misery of bitter hatred, as ordered by my uncle Flyktning Patrick Mitchell. They are tied together and their parachutes will not open as they rapidly plunge into hades. Look at all their endless posts of 247 angry hate. Long after their keyboards melt their flaming (as in Ripples flamer) digits will still try to type anger and hate. Even as I laugh, how will I ever get a job and get my baby Dime Bag back? Alumni, Boy Scouts Of America and San Bernardino welfare sure did a number on my old flaming Daddy and friends and probably have far far worse coming soon. My Rippling old failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy's hate and illiteracy is a life sentence. His snitching will be an unavoidable after life sentence. Oh well....
My life is over. I have been completely Osborne'd by my own failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy. Why does that old loser pretend up here that any of her endless Ripples obsessed patter will ever undo that? It's eternal. Eternal. Eternal misery and shame.
At the end of every day I am still a snitched out life ruined Osborne, like my failed Cailyn Jenner Daddy failed Rupaul Grand Daddy John Osborne. Grand baby dime is gone like my future and ebay's board trolls and the ebay stock bleeds like my failed Daddy at Ripples. Did you know Uncle Fly was into that too? Not one of those broke losers bought me a sandwich when my failed 'Mommy' snitched me out. Then my Daddy got all snitched too! Some might call that fitting but really ugly things slouch toward my cripples 'Mommy' now. That is what she begged for, that is what she'll get.
Obviously, your factual post on my failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy taking it hard Caitlyn style at Ripples set off an F4 Team Terrorist Troll meltdown. Didn't you mention how my failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy did not turn her Windows 10 GPS locator off? Sad. Oh well. Children everywhere may be safe from the Beam Team soon. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.
My failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy John Osborne, ebay's z50com, did not get his typical holly jolly Ripples Christmas on my baby Dime or any of the neighborhood kids. Even in the new neighborhood. Thanks Alumni and Boy Scouts of America for making sure the new shack is also on the pedo list. Greasy old Johnie O will just have to take it at Ripples in his diapers. Closest he'll get to kids nowadays. That's why he needs all of these hate IDs slopping his burning burning tail publicly. That loser's tail will burn forever. All his doing.
Death takes no holiday and neither does my board troll terrorist daughter snitching failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy! He is daily hating here over some long ago poster pretending hate hides the truth on his terroristic snitching Ripples ways. Only an EBT card fool could fuss hate on everything but the fact he snitched me to the police and short sold me to a street gang. Does my failed Daddy John Osborne z50com sit on his new virus loaded computer watching my bang pages while snitching out and deleting posts while missing me and little Dime Bag at the Christmas table? My sick Daddy only misses Dime because Alumni made certain that he can't molest him. We all remember my Daddy John Osborne's "pine wooding" for Boy Scouts posys. Why does my uncle Patrick Mitchell endorse Johnie's daily Public sickness? Why do Yahoo and Ebay host that disease? Won't end will, but miserably painful, for my terrorist failed Daddy. Count on those beans.
Don't go trying to play Santa Claus again failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy so you can get all molestor. Stop practicing your "Jarad Diet" you fat rat snitch loser. You've done more than enough damage to families and ebay stockholders.
"Thanks" for never ever once trying to help me or my baby Uncle Patrick Mitchell. We especially "love you" at Christmas when the full weight of you and my failed Daddy making us full blown Osborne#$%$ home. But at least you keep my failed Daddy stuffed with the loofah and the board filled here with bitter failed author sick ravings and evil. Nothing shows the true ebay clearer.
Poor broke failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy. A drug dealer's house is just your speed (meth). Maybe failed Grandma In Law will let you live there. Maybe not. Ian won't worry too much about your out of date security. Sleep well at night knowing you snitched me out and got my kid taken away. Boy Scouts Of America and the Alumni will always have you in the cross hairs. Always.
Wow failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy! You and Aunt Sullied and Uncle Fake Bezo sure are chugging on a lot of mean manly Ripples richards trying to give yourselves the sustenance to live but it doesn't seem to be working for you. No future? Yeah, you sure gave me that Osborne legacy.
Hi Uncle Meth Enabler Flyktning Patrick Mitchell. At no point did Uncle Madbezos talk about his taxes. It's not really a healthy thing sitting in that dingy Mission St office herding your board trolls. How much will you let my snitch failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy ruin you? It will probably be expensive losing everything to a troll. I know.
Poor failed daddy failed Ripples g @ y Daddy. You are not even part of 5th grade Alumni! Please end your 247 endless hate. Obviously you love being a daily public laughingstock stalker. You have failed utterly in all areas of your so called useless life. Quit publicly humiliating our long passed relatives. The spin their grave so hard they're building up friction. And yes, 2015 and you ruined my future permanently by snitching me.
You're not one of those Daddy's who snitches out their children are you, like my old failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy John Osborne z50com? Alumni, Boy Scouts Of America, Ripples and all adults ride that board troll slob like the bloated Pepsi swilling cow he is. He will have nothing ever again, no job, no future, no family, no grand kid and what he really cares about: no welfare.
I see slobbing on Apple Valley daughter snitching losers is more fun than bobbing for apples. Any east coast smart phones can party by group gobbing on an old failed daughter snitch, stuck here, all weekend. Poor old slob John Osborne z50com. He loved getting group slobbed and gobbed at Ripples. My Mom got sick. I got snitched. Now he's too fat to go answer my poor Grannie in law's door. Tricker treat tonight Ian? Ding #$%$.
Wow! My gay failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy John Osborne INSTANTLY responded to your truth. Is he so dumb he thinks his daily actions will EVER get grand baby dime bag out of Alumni's foster parents? You know your life has failed when all you've been is a sick daily board and daughter snitch, without one decent single thing accomplished in "life". jUST Failure and public humiliation, here and at Ripples! @
Are you publicly worrying about what men are wearing gay old failed Ripples Daddy failed Ripples Grand Daddy John Osborne z50com? Is it hard for you to sit quietly in the corner with your dunce cap on while Uncle Fly's huge throbbing loofah is destroying your Ripples backside? Alumni bought me sandwiches when you snitched me out but you can't even afford one for yourself! How many life lessons do you need failure. They have a special cage for you in hades. Your free range board troll days are coming to a close.
Poor loser failed Daddy failed Grand Daddy! For once you're right: they don't. You might want to really worry about that publicly some more jUST in case your archives have not already buried you deep enough.


text: Hi, Just wanted to let everyone know that the next version of the Linux audit daemon is available. You can get it from http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit. Or rawhide tomorrow (Monday the 21st). This release is mostly a bug fix release. There were some issues with the library files being in the wrong directory on 64bit machines. Pam_audit was updated to write loginuid to /proc/pid/loginuid. Because of the way pam works, this is done in the parent process and the login uid is inherited by the child. This does not work for sshd because of privilege separation. I'll have to patch that directly. Added pam_session_close to handle logout messaging. Update to kernel headers in 2.6.11rc3. Let me know if there are any problems. -Steve Grubb

Read an Excerpt
"You've got four weeks but I want this deal wrapped up in two."
Hugh McCutcheon held the cellphone to his ear, listening to his father's orders as he drove his rental car along Interstate 5, just outside Medford, Oregon.
Why should he be surprised at the request? Whatever he'd done for the company, Richard "Mac" McCutcheon wanted more. "I thought Flanagan hadn't decided to sell yet."
"And since when has that mattered to you?" his father asked. "I'm expecting you to come through for me. We need the orchard to control the area. More importantly, we need the vineyard."
Hugh should be used to getting this treatment from his father. If the job's tough, give it to the kid. He'll do anything the old man dangles in front of his face.
"I can't make any promises, Mac." It had been agreed he wouldn't call him Dad during working hours that meant all the time.
"I don't need promises," he growled. "I need results. There's a lot riding on this, Hugh. Including the regional director's job."
Hugh sighed. Yeah, right. He'd been promised the position for the last year. "I'll do what I can. I need to go; my turn-off is coming up. I'll check in later." He shut the phone and tossed it on the passenger seat, next to the proposal for this project: Emerald Vale Orchard and Irish Rogue Vineyard.
On his flight from San Francisco to Medford he'd been able to scan it over, but not much more. His father wanted a lot, but he always had. Problem was the family patriarch, Cullan Flanagan, wasn't eager to sell his family business. The one positive thing was that the owner was giving the McCutcheon Corporation the opportunity to come and talk with him.
Hugh rubbed his hand over his face. He hated not being prepared for a job. In most cases he was always organized. But he'd just finished a six-week stay in Atlanta, where he'd downsized a recently purchased electronic parts plant. By the time he'd left the company was running efficiently, with a twenty percent reduction in personnel. That was sure to raise the next quarterly profit. It was important that he increase his value at the McCutcheon Corporation, too.
Hugh wanted that promotion.and he had that much of his father in him to ensure that he went after it. He'd gotten used to his lavish lifestyle. More than that, he enjoyed the thrill of his job.
So bring on the next challenge. He looked up to see the sign overhead: "Emerald Vale Orchard, est. by the Flanagan family in 1908. Home to the Irish Rogue Vineyard, est. 2002." He drove through the archway to see neat rows of pear trees along the hillside. On the other side were the ribbons of trel-lised vines.
Hugh continued on about a quarter of a mile and spotted a large barn, painted white with burgundy trim. In the front was a general store. He pulled up in the parking area next to picnic tables shaded by colorful shade umbrellas.
After climbing out of the car, he slipped on his suit coat. He glanced further up a grassy knoll to see a huge house with a flagstone fagade that peeked out through the trees. A wraparound porch held baskets of summer flowers along the gingerbread trim. The manicured lawn was edged with more pink and purple plants.
Then suddenly the colors seemed to fade as a young woman stepped out onto the porch. What he noticed first was her rich auburn hair. The thick tresses went well past her shoulders and were clipped back from her face. She had a slender build. His gaze moved over her figure. A cream-colored blouse was knotted at her tiny waist, and her long legs were nearly covered by a gauzy peach-hued skirt. She moved gracefully as she lovingly attended to each plant.
He found his breathing suddenly labored, but his gaze didn't waver from the sight.
"The lass is easy on the eye, that's for sure."
Hugh jerked around to see a smiling older man in his seventies. He had a head full of thick white hair, and his face was weathered from years in the sun. Cullan Flanagan.
"I apologize for staring, sir," Hugh said.
The man's smile widened. "No need to apologize for appreciating a beautiful woman." He nodded in her direction. "I did the same thing the day I first saw her grandmother. And I felt the same way for the next fifty-three years." He sighed and blinked his eyes rapidly. "Sorry, I still miss her. And seeing Ellie every day brings back so many memories." He stuck out his hand. "I'm Cullan Flanagan. Welcome to Emerald Vale."
"Hello, Mr. Flanagan. I'm Hugh McCutcheon from the McCutcheon Corporation."
"Ah, Mr. McCutcheon, I've been expecting you." He looked him over. "So you think you can convince me to sell my land?"
Hugh gave him his best smile. "I plan to give it a try."
"It's going to have to be over my dead body," a woman's voice said.
Hugh swung around to see the redhead standing there, with her hands on her hips, glaring at him with large green eyes. She was even more beautiful close up. And he couldn't seem to find his voice.* * *
Ellie wasn't going to let some big-city corporate guy come in here and take away her home. Not as long as she had any fight left in her.
"At a loss for words, Mr. McCutcheon?"
He shook his head, then smiled. "I assure you, Ms. Flanagan, I do not want any dead bodies."
"Oh, really?" She managed to look away from his dark chocolate eyes. "That's not what your reputation states. Don't they call you the Hatchet Man?"
He grimaced. "This business can be tough, especially when the companies we acquire are in financial trouble."
"Well, I guess you aren't needed here, since there isn't anything wrong with our orchard or our vineyard."
Hugh McCutcheon seemed to relax a little as he folded his arms across his massive chest, looking comfortable in his suit coat even when the temperature was in the high eighties.
Ellie didn't like that.
She didn't like men who walked in and acted as if they owned the place already. Well, no matter how handsome or well-built the man was, he wasn't going to take Flanagan land.
"Studies show there's always room for improvement."
"We're not a study, Mr. McCutcheon. We're a family and this is our livelihood. So go buy up someone else's place. We're not for sale."
"Eleanor Anne " Her grandfather's voice broke in. "That's no way to talk to a guest."
Ellie turned to her sole grandparent. "It's true, Papa. Word has spread throughout the valley." She nodded to the stranger. "His company is buying up all the family orchards in the area."
"They were all willing to sell," Hugh added. "We didn't coerce anyone. We gave fair market value for all the properties."
Ellie made a huffing sound. "I doubt that," she said. "No one gets paid for all the years they've worked the land." She pointed toward the orchard. "Their blood, sweat and tears are out there. You can't put a price on that."
"I agree. But the owners who sold to us were ready to get out."
Silently, Ellie glared at him. She wasn't getting anywhere with the man, but she was more worried about her grandfather. Since the death of his wife Eleanor, two years ago, he'd been so unhappy. Nothing gave him joy anymore. Not even the wine-making. Something they'd planned and worked on together. The Irish Rogue label had been their collaborative dream. Now he was thinking about selling out.
Hugh knew Ellie Flanagan was going to do everything in her power to stop this sale. And his job was to do whatever it took to stop her. From what he'd read about the orchard, Cullan Flanagan was the sole owner of the land and Ellie was his only heir. But she didn't have any control until after her grandfather's death.
"Maybe your grandfather is ready, too."
This time she couldn't hide her disdain. "He is not." She turned to the older man. "Papa, you can't be serious?"
"Can't hurt to hear what the man has to say."
Before Ellie could speak, Cullan raised his hand. "We'll discuss this later, lass. Please show Mr. McCutcheon to the Sunset Cottage."
She blinked those big emerald eyes, but quickly masked her anger once again. "Fine."
Cullan kissed his granddaughter, then looked at Hugh. "Please, make yourself comfortable, and I'll see you at dinner."
"Thank you, sir."
With a nod, the older man, his back bent slightly, his steps slow, walked across the gravel road toward the orchard.
"Just because he's invited you to stay doesn't mean he's going to sell you all this," Ellie said, and she spread her arms, taking in the acres of lush green vines that led all the way up the hillside. On the other side were the rows of pear trees, dotted with the dozen workers who cared for them.
Hugh sighed. "I have to say, it's pretty impressive."
She drew a breath, too. "And it belongs to the Flanagan family. And I will make sure it always belongs to us."
"You have a big job ahead of you. Especially since there aren't many Flanagans left."
She straightened. "You don't need to worry about us, Mr. McCutcheon. Besides, who's to say I don't have a would-be husband around?" she tossed out. "Now, take your car down the road to the turn-off with the sign that says 'Cottages'. I'll meet you there." She took off toward the house.
Hugh enjoyed watching her walk away too much. He wondered if there was a man in her life. She was beautiful enough to have several.
He quickly shook away the thought, and knew he'd better be able to handle a spitfire. "Damn. Keep your head on business. This trip is all about the business," he chanted, but the nudge of attraction didn't go away.
Ellie waited at the oak door to the studio cottage. The bungalow was usually rented by newlyweds, or couples who wanted the seclusion the peaceful orchard offered them. Not businessmen who wanted to rip her life apart.
The luxury rental car pulled up under the tree in front, and McCutcheon climbed out. He'd removed his suit jacket, revealing a crisp white shirt that showed off his broad shoulders and well-developed chest. Her gaze lowered to his trim waist, then, when he turned to walk to the car's trunk, she got a glimpse at his tight rear end. She quickly glanced away, angry that she could find anything to appreciate about the man.
With a dark leather suitcase in hand, Hugh McCutcheon walked toward her. Without comment, she opened the door and went inside. The combined scents of roses and peaches teased her nose as she stepped into the large room. As expected, there were fresh-cut flowers on the table. On the kitchen counter was a large bowl of fruit, along with several bottles of Irish Rogue wine. Soft music filtered into the space from strategically placed speakers.
There was a cozy seating area in front of the fireplace, and across the large room was a king-size bed covered in ivory satin, with miles of sheer fabric draped overhead, creating a canopy.
Definitely a place for lovers.
She looked at Hugh McCutcheon and noted his amused look. "I guess you don't have many singles, huh?" He loosened his tie as if he were too warm. She watched as he undid the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing dark chest hair.
She swallowed and turned to the phone on the table. "Sorry, we don't have the rooms equipped for Internet use."
This time he turned a wicked grin toward her. "I doubt that anyone staying here is thinking about business."
"No, not usually. Most of our guests have other things on their minds."
His gaze never left hers. "There are a lot of nice things to distract you here."
Silence hung between them as the music changed to an enchanting love song. The singer's sultry voice created an even more intimate feeling in the room.
Ellie froze under the man's gaze. She felt a sudden stirring low in her stomach. She swallowed, finding her mouth bone-dry. She blinked and finally broke the hold.
"If you need anything, Mr. McCutcheon, just call the office." She backed up, but came in contact with the coffee table and began to stumble.
Hugh reached out and grabbed her, pulling her upright. His hands gripped her arms, holding her firmly.
"You should be more careful," he said, his voice low and husky. "You could hurt yourself."
She nodded, not trusting her voice as her gaze locked with his once again. His brown eyes were incredible. Close up, they were the color of aged whiskey.
She glanced away, silently berating herself for her crazy behavior. This man was the enemy. He was here to take away her hopes and dreams. Straightening, she pulled away from his hold.
"I'm always careful, Mr. McCutcheon. I know what I want, and I'll do everything I can to keep what's mine."
He smiled. "Is that a threat, Ms Flanagan?"
"No. Just the truth. This land has been in our family for a hundred years, and I'm not about to let someone come in and take it away."
Hugh stood back and looked her over. Man, she was a powerhouse. Under other circumstances he would love to get to know her better. He pushed aside any thoughts of what might have been a passionate relationship. This was businessand business always came first.
"Times change, Ms Flanagan. It takes money to run an operation like this."
"We've been running it just fine for years."
"But at a profit?"
Hugh saw a flash of sadness in those mesmerizing eyes, but she quickly masked it. "Not everything is measured in dollars. And just because my grandfather and I are the only ones with the Flanagan name, it doesn't mean we don't have plenty of family around."
She gave him a once-over look that made him feel as if she could see inside his dark soul.
"I doubt you could say the same thing, Mr. McCutcheon." She swung around and walked to the door.
Hugh was just a bit quicker as he went after her. She reached for the knob, but he stopped her from making a grand exit.
"You know nothing about me, Ellie Flanagan or my family." He spoke softly into her ear. "So don't go making assumptions. I'm not doing anything illegal, but I will do what it takes to get end results."
She turned around and flashed those big eyes at him. His gaze moved to her hair, already teasing his nose with a fresh lemony scent. He itched to run his fingers through the silky auburn strands.
"Then be warned, Mr. McCutcheon. I can fight dirty, too."
He couldn't help but smile as he stepped back. "I'll look forward to it."
She nodded, then pulled open the door and stalked out.
Hugh stood in the doorway and watched as she walked down the hill toward the house. With her head held high, her natural grace drew his interest more than it should. He wanted to blame it on a lack of female attention due to his heavy work schedule, but he knew the sassy redhead intrigued him all on her own.

A 14-year-old Florida girl was arrested on charges of killing her newborn baby.
According to the Polk County sheriff's department, the teen admitted she had been trying to hide her pregnancy from her family with baggy clothing.
Then gave birth to the 9 pound 5 ounce baby in her bathroom at home.
"She delivered the baby into the toilet. She took the baby from the toilet, she checked it for a pulse, and it was moving, and then she choked it to death," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
Deputies say the girl's mother discovered the baby in a shoe box several days later.
The teenage girl faces charges of premeditated first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.

SAN ANTONIO (July 13, 2014) Police were investigating Sunday after a man was shot to death at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio following a confrontation with a hotel guest.
The man who was killed was evidently breaking ceiling lights in a hallway of the hotel when he got into an argument with another man, police Chief William McManus said.
The man followed the hotel guest to his room and knocked on the door until the guest opened it, McManus said.
When the man tried to barge in, he was shot to death, McManus said.
Officer Douglas Greene said the hotel guest who fired the shot had a concealed handgun license.
Greene said the department hadn't yet decided whether to treat the shooting as murder or a justifiable homicide.

I've run into a problem using two different twitter plugins. One is for login and one is for displaying a twitter stream. The issue is they both use Oauth so I get a re-declare error when trying to login on my custom login template. Since I only use the twitter stream plugin on profiles I'd like to limit it's functions use purely to the profile but without actually changing the plugins core code. Possible?
I would approach as follows:
You could use something like the following:
If this doesn't work, you're probably going to have to make one of the plugin's classes pluggable.

Love the idea of having 5 stove top burners. Oven heats to exact temperature and doesn't heat up kitchen at all. The curved edge at the front of stove top gets warm when using stove top or oven so need to be careful not to touch. But otherwise very pleased with the product.

I hate, yes I hate the oven. I've had this stove for a year and still can't bake a cake! It isn't that I don't know how to cook, I just don't know how to bake in this oven. I'be cut the time and the temp but things still don't come out right. It is also very difficult to keep the black top clean. I had a different free standing Frigidare range a couple of years ago and loved it..

Top Teachers: Emily Mason
Baker E.S., third grade
Emily Mason felt a simple calling to life as a teacher.
"I wanted to make a difference in a child's life," she said.
As a third-grade teacher at Baker Elementary School in Varina for the past four years, she's been able to do just that.
Mason focuses on messages of positive reinforcement for her students and rewards achievement by taking students to dinner or for ice cream after school. She holds afterschool tutoring groups and makes frequent use of her Promethean interactive board during class lessons.
In one nomination, the mother of one of Mason's former students described her daughter as a shy student who normally wouldn't have gotten involved in many activities. But with Mason's encouragement, the girl signed up for a school dance performance.
"At first, [the student] was nervous, but as she practiced each week, she got better, she made more friends, and her confidence grew," the mother wrote. "She started to try more things that used to intimidate her, such as reading much more complicated chapter books. Her confidence in [her] least-liked subjects, such as math grew. [The student] would walk around before a test saying, " I am going to kick math's butt"!
The girl continues to demonstrate the confidence Mason instilled in her, the woman wrote, and she even ran for office in the school's SCA election.
"She did not win, but she felt like a winner," the woman wrote.
Mason, whose father and grandmother both were teachers, said she feels at home with third-graders.
"I really love teaching this age," she said. "They are still very eager to learn. They have a little more independence, and they are very creative. They've pretty much mastered the art of reading, but there are still light bulbs that come on every day."
With the Promethean board, Mason has seen a difference in the way her students prepare and in their excitement levels during class.
"They're just so eager," she said. "They come to the carpet, where we normally sit, and it's not a struggle. They're just ready to learn, very excited about interacting with it. Every day we have a new activity up there, and they just can't wait to see what we're going to do."

Crowds converged on the Glenorchy Waterfront Reserve on
Monday to witness the arrival of a cavalcade of horses, with
most of the riders clothed in 1860s-period garments.
The last day of the village's 150th anniversary celebrations
had an official tone, with the launch of the extended
Glenorchy Lagoon Walkway and the official opening of the
refurbished library and a group photograph taken to document
the historic event.
Queenstown Lakes Mayor Vanessa van Uden arrived in a 1928
Cadillac with her husband, Peter Laurenson, and horses stood
among the crowd as fourth-generation Glenorchy resident
Richard Kennett read out a list of the trials and triumphs of
the settlement's early years.
Ms van Uden then helped judge the beard-growing efforts of
local men, although 150th committee member Elaine Kirkland
feared it was too cold to allow the beards to be shaved off
on stage.
