If activist investor Carl Icahn is going to profit from his $1.8 billion bet on Yahoo Inc., the billionaire needs the struggling Internet company's stock to more than double in value. Icahn, who muscled his way on to Yahoo's board during the summer, has paid an average of $23.59 per share to accumulate a 5.5 percent stake in the Sunnyvale-based company, according to a Thursday filing with the Secu

"Let them know there are viable opportunities for additional revenue."To add revenue, Beshear proposed two measures: putting casino gambling on the ballot and raising cigarette taxes. Both were rebuffed by lawmakers.Beshear said the state faces more cuts, including
From Canucks.com:Gillis sounds very serious and stern. If someone isn't carrying out their responsibilities, they're done in Vancouver. Gillis mentioned that the current Canucks staff will remain in place, and that further evaluations will be made after the draft and free agent frenzy of the summer.Speaking of staff... the Globe and Mail published a rumor from a source today about Markus Naslund, who apparently stated that he "won't consider re-signing with the Canucks if Alain Vigneault remains as head coach." You know, I think that there could be truth to that, but mostly it sounds like a rumor that would stem from Gillis being Naslund's former agent and maybe Naslund having some sway with the guy. Don't bank on it. Like I said before, Gillis is now in management. He's no longer that pl

I turned down another listing yesterday. I hate to turn down the possibility of making a buck but the best advice I can give to many potential sellers is to not list.

You have to be the bright flower in the field of weeds.

I consider myself really lucky. I have been in possession of some of the hottest gifts of the holiday season (according to today's New York Times) for weeks ahead of Christmas, and in some cases, MONTHS. Ok, they didn't actually say "Hottest". These were items that were part of their feature on "Tasteful Giving", but I think they're hot.You won't believe what one of them was! It was Nutmeg Girl!!! I had my hot little hands on her WEEKS before this story, thanks to the kindness of A.The Times' source is a website called Pylons.com, which has all kind of whimsical knickknacks and some very useful items as well. There are really cute peppermills, which sort of look like modern and ethnically diverse versions of babushka dolls. I've never seen chopsticks like these. One end is pointed to use as normal, the other end has 2 short prongs to spear stuff. My chopstick-impaired son could use these. AND they have two dots for eyes right below the prongs, so they look kind of squid-like. Coo
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6-8 NIVAnts have been around for thousands of years (and hated for the same length of time). Who hasn't aborted a restful picnic because of uninvited ants? And those living in the South are constantly trying to kill "fire ants" -- so named because their stings feel like fire. But evidently God finds value in them because in the Old Testament, written by Solomon and inspired by The Holy Spirit, they teach us a valuable lesson. And in this age of "live in the moment", the lesson seems to have been lost.Not a day goes by that I am not confronted with an apathetic worker.

She shared with me something she didn't intend to share. She didn't plan to open up and tell me how she really was. Maybe she could tell that I earnestly wanted to know how she was doing. Perhaps she knew that I suspected she was having a hard time, that I would not be surprised to hear her account of fear, frustration over being able to do nothing about her situation, and alarm that she had to live with not knowing, not knowing, not knowing. That was the part she could not cope with, she relayed to me. I kept my hand on her arm as she told me.I felt burdened the rest of the day. Felt burdened for her, and by the weight of what she had to carry. I know it was good for her to share. By sharing with me, she allowed me to help bear her burden. She knows I will pray for her. But she also struggles with what prayer will do. Haven't we all prayed and prayed, at a tough time in our life, and found an answer we did not want instead of the one we longed for?After dinner last night, a somewha
This is ridculous. Kevin Martin, chairman of the FCC, wants to ram home the rule changes that would pave the way for even more media consolidation. Not only that, but he just announced the date of the final hearing to address concerns of how such an easing of rules would affect localism in media choices. Martin announced last night that the final hearing would be held on October, 31. Sound a little hurried to you? You're not alone, the two demomcratic members of the committee; Michael J. Copps and Jonathan S. Adelstein have issued a joint statement questioning the timing of the decision. FreePress This is exactly the reason that I questioned the need for the current FCC configuration, Martin is clearly trying to keep the public out of the loop, when the business at hand is ostensibly a public service.A week's notice?

The news from the MSM has been mainly silent over the past few weeks; why? One thing, as pointed out by Pete Hegseth of “The Tank” at NRO: “As for what has not happened, there is a number that may or may not make headlines tomorrow: 62. This is the number of American combat deaths in September, and happens to be the lowest since August of last year. And while this number is still too high, it is nonetheless relevant. Despite a counter-insurgency strategy that makes U.S. troops more “vulnerable,” American deaths have dropped. American troops have moved off of large, secure bases and into small, security stations throughout the country – yet American deaths, after a spike from April to June, have begun to drop.” Hegseth will take the silence and perhaps most in favor of our actions in Iraq; I may even be happy to hear nothing. Nothing, though is silence and is easily forgotten when something other than silence comes out of the mouth of the MSM regarding Iraq and a

Tonight on ABC’s 20/20 Michael Moore will debate John Stossel regarding socialized medicine (come back later tonight for a review of the show). John Stossel, whose ideology is based on statistics, facts, and common sense, will destroy Michael Moore like nothing you will ever see. Presumably, John Stossel will attack Moore for his baseless comments that Cuba’s healthcare should be emulated. As a result, we can expect Michael Moore to divert the question and say instead that we should focus on Canada’s and Great Britain’s healthcare system. Well, as we shall see, Britain’s healthcare is neither about health nor caring; it is about control and big government.Just to prove this point, take a look at this ridiculous story and ask yourself if we want to bring this great socialized system to America.“A man with a broken ankle is facing a lifetime of pain because a Health Service hospital has refused to treat him unless he gives up smoking.John Nuttall, 57, needs surgery to set the

However, AdAge adds that the joke "manages to [not] trivialize the essence of femininity quite as egregiously as Heineken.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped by Arizona to appear with two of Arizona’s congressmen and tour the Veterans Medical Center. While she was in town, she also expressed her support for freshman Congressman Harry Mitchell who will likely face a spirited re-election campaign next fall. Pelosi’s message was loud and clear:“If you don’t promise to re-elect Harry Mitchell, I am going to keep coming back,” assured Speaker Pelosi, “And coming and coming and coming. Look, I like Harry Mitchell. He does what I say and he is a charming dancer. If you don’t get your act together, you are going to see me around here all the time.”Initially, the Speaker’s visit was a mystery to some who believe that her San Francisco popularity does not translate well in Arizona, but it appears that she has found a way to use this issue to her advantage.“Oh God, No!” exclaimed Susie Snider, a moderate, Republican soccer mom, “It’s like I am being forced to vote for Mitchell again.

We’re big Dr. Seuss fans in our house. Green Eggs and Ham and Hop on Pop are daily reads. Oh, The Places You’ll Go! sits right next to The Bible on our bookshelf. We love our Dr. Seuss.
Recently, Julia has developed a fascination with the Dr. Seuss book The Lorax.* We borrowed it from the library on Monday and I’ve never seen her react to a book quite like this. We sat down to read it while waiting for dinner to cook. She was so quiet and thoughtful as I read through pages I remembered from my childhood. She didn’t fidget, she didn’t interrupt. She listened intently. When I closed the book and said softly, “Then End,” she opened it back up.
“Read it again.”
And so I read it again and again. We read that book until dinner was ready. While I was getting the food to the table, she was leafing through the pages. After dinner was done, she wanted it one more time. This time, she wanted to talk about it.

Christine from Domestic Vocation has a great post on how to explain the Sacrifice of the Mass to little children. I liked it so much that I couldn't help but provide a little bit of it here: First, to understand how the sacrifice of Calvary is present at the Mass, we must understand that God is outisde of time. Gracious! How on EARTH do I explain that everything in time is an ever-present NOW to God?Suddenly, a picture came into my head: a snow globe.Imagine the people inside the snow globe are real. Inside their tiny world, they can look around and see stuff. But they cannot see everything. We, outside, can see the entirety of the snow globe. In this way, we are like God looking at Man who is trapped in time. He can see all of time all at once, while we can see only what is right in front of us.[. . .]Next was how to explain Jesus offering Himself to the Father daily. Offering, specifically, His Sacrifice on the Cross.Again, I got a clear picture in my mind of my daughters' art work

The other night, I got a group of boys and girls that made it their mission to piss me off as much as possible.
Thinking they were better than everyone else in the restaurant (as teenagers are wont to do) one young man wanted a beer. When I asked him for his ID, he responded with, “Dude, don’t you know me?”
All of his girl friends giggled as if he was some important dude. To me, he was just another metrosexual-looking douche with Fallout Boy-hair, a lip-ring and jeans that looked like my little sister couldn’t even fit into.
Me: “Uh…know you? Do you go to (name of my school)?”
Him: “Naw, man. I’m in Bury The Hatchet. We play around here all the time.”
Me: “A band?”

Kolo Toure has launched what can be called a robust defence of the squad and its attitude following on from Saturday, basically telling us that they are professional and know they have to improve in order to secure third spot. Arsene is doing the same, telling all and sundry how conscientious the squad is and they are working hard to put it right to win all of the home games and a couple away which ought to be enough, he believes, to finish third. Which is all well and good but the sea-change in the level of performance required is huge. Since the end of January, there have been two genuinely good performances, at the Reebok and in Cardiff. The other ten games have ranged from average to appalling, and brought just three wins and three draws, hardly inspiring form and with the result that third place is all the team have to play for when at the start of that spell, they were in with a chance in three cup competitions.
There have been horrendous injuries and suspensions in that period,

Our middle class has suffered in silence for far too long, and it cannot afford to suffer or be silent much longer. Hardworking Americans have not spoken out about their increasingly marginalized role in this society, and as a consequence they've all but lost their voice. Without that strong, clear and vibrant voice, all the major decisions about America and our future will be made by the elites of government, big business and the dominant special interests. Those elites treasure your silence, as it enables them to claim America's future for their own. I'm stupid enough to be absolutely sincere in the hope that middle- class America will awake soon and take action. "It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid."
