Petco Health and Wellness CEO Ron Coughlin said the retailer is poised for growth as it sells exclusive pet supplies, offers e-commerce services such as curbside pickup and expands its veterinary services.
The company's shares started trading Thursday under the ticker symbol WOOF. It opened at $26, up 44% from its initial public offering price of $18 to raise $816.5 million. That's also better than the $14 to $17 price that its owners Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and private equity firm CVC Capital Partners had originally targeted.
In an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" ahead of the stock's initial trade, Coughlin said the company's customer base has grown during the pandemic as families adopt new pets. He said 3.3 million new pets joined families last year and he expects that pet boom will continue into the first half of 2021.
"People are at home, they're a little depressed, and they want a bundle of joy in their life," he said. "So we're going to help feed those pets, we're going to help train those pets, groom those pets and vaccinate those pets. I think it's actually good for America and our souls and it's good for Petco."
Pet retailers have seen a surge in demand in recent years as Americans treat their pets as family members and splurge more on toys, accessories and organic or fresh food. Yet there's also been more competition. Online pet retailer Chewy has gained market share with a subscription-based service that delivers pet food and other supplies to customers' doors. Its shares have risen more than 260% in the past year.
Coughlin said Petco has assets that its rivals don't have. It has grown its veterinary business from 15 to 105 clinics in the last 18 months. About 70% of its pet products are exclusive to its stores, such as private-label food brands.
The former HP executive said the company has aggressively invested in digital options in the past year and a half, including in-store and curbside pickup of online purchases and same-day delivery. He said same-day delivery now makes up 30% of its e-commerce orders.
"The more technology we've laid down, the faster our digital business has grown," he said.

Spirit Airlines, the no-frills carrier known for bright yellow planes, brash style and low fares, has helped revolutionize the way we pay for travel. To offset its bare-bones fares the carrier charges for everything from carry-on bags to bottles of water.
As of 2019, Spirit Airlines had 13 consecutive years of profitability. Since then, however, the airline has fallen on tough times.
With the coronavirus pandemic causing passenger traffic to plummet, Spirit announced third quarter total operating revenue of $402 million, a 60% drop from a year earlier.
To keep passengers safe and onboard, Spirit requires face coverings for passengers and crew, uses foggers to disinfect the aircraft and has waived some change fees. But is it enough? And will Spirit Airlines be able to bounce back from the economic fallout battering the airline industry?

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The United Arab Emirates is on its way to having half of its population vaccinated against the coronavirus before a deadline it set for itself at the end of March, according to the country's health authorities.
The small desert sheikhdom of 10 million began deploying its vaccination campaign for the public toward the end of last year, after making China's Sinopharm vaccine available to frontline health workers and government officials from September. And in terms of vaccination rates, the UAE's national program is now the second highest in the world after Israel.
More than 1.8 million people have already received the Sinopharm vaccine, which is available for free to all citizens and residents. That's more than quadruple the per capita vaccination rate in the U.S. And the U.S. and German-developed Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is being rolled out in Dubai, currently in its first phase which is reserved for people over the age of 60, those with pre-existing health conditions, and frontline workers.

Both vaccines require two jabs spaced apart by 28 days, and 28 days after receiving the second shot, patients are no longer required to quarantine, but will still have to wear masks and practice social distancing, the country's National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority has said
And while taking the vaccine is optional, NCEMA says, it's strongly encouraged. Government employees in Abu Dhabi who choose not to take one of the vaccines will be required to take a PCR test every two weeks.
"We're very pleased with the progress we've made," Omar Ghobash, the UAE's assistant minister for culture and public diplomacy, told CNBC's Hadley Gamble on Sunday. "Obviously there are people who are still getting sick, and unfortunately passing away, but overall we think that we've managed to find the balance between health and safety on the one hand and economic viability on the other hand."
Sinopharm's developers say its vaccine is 86% effective while the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has a 95% effectiveness, though some medical professionals have expressed skepticism over the Chinese-made vaccine due to the lack of published data surrounding its development and trials. In November, UAE leaders including Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum tweeted images of themselves getting the Sinopharm shot.
Vaccinations push ahead amid spike in cases
Cases have soared in the Gulf country within a less than three-week period since late December as tourists flocked to Dubai's fully open beaches, restaurants and shopping malls. Despite visitors requiring a negative PCR test result before boarding or upon arrival, many suspect that a more transmissible strain of the virus first identified in the U.K. is at least in part to blame, given the high volume of British tourists in the emirate for the holiday season.
The jump in cases — now averaging more than 3,000 per day compared to around 1,000 per day at the end of December — led the U.K. to remove the UAE from its "safe travel corridor," even as U.K. travelers are barred from many countries over fear of the new virus strain. The UAE had successfully kept its case count below 2,000 per day for the entirety of 2020.
The UAE has registered 256,732 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 751 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Sunday saw a record high daily case count of 3,453.

Still, it appears that for now at least, the party city and regional commercial capital of Dubai will push on with its vaccine campaign while keeping its tourism-dependent economy open.
Neighboring oil-rich capital Abu Dhabi, meanwhile, has been much more conservative, requiring a series of negative PCR test results over the span of several days for anyone who wants to enter the emirate — even from other emirates in the country.
As for Dubai, mask wearing remains required in all public venues, excluding activities like eating or engaging in strenuous exercise, and authorities remind residents to socially distance. The emirate's openness, which increased gradually from the summer, had followed a period of one of the strictest lockdowns in the world in March and April.
By New Year, Dubai's government was allowing residents to hold gatherings inside their homes of up to 30 people. Hotels once nearly entirely empty are seeing upward of 70% occupancy rates as tourists escape their own countries for a sense of normality and warm weather.
"They are balancing personal responsibility with an economy that needs to go forward," Ghobash said of the country.
"Vaccinating the largest possible percentage of society" is the country's aim, the NCEMA tweeted earlier this month, in order to "access the acquired immunity resulting from vaccination, which will help reduce the number of cases and control the disease."

Mexico is in the middle of an unprecedented state of violence that has worn down several regions of the country and has affected the life of millions of people. Since the beginning of the so called "War on Narco", declared by former president Felipe Calderón on 2006, there have been almost 150,000 murders (1), between 27,000 and 200,000 missing persons that have been disappeared either by state forces or by criminal organization (2), between 60,000 and 100,000 migrants have been assassinated (3), and at least 170,000 people have been displaced from their homeland (4). Besides these terrifying statistics, Mexico is the most dangerous country –only behind Somalia- for the journalist to perform their job. More journalists and media workers have been killed in Mexico's democratic period that started in July 2000 than in all World War II or in the last Iraq invasion.
Nuestra Aparente Rendicion (NAR) was born as a space to try to understand, think about, accompany and traverse together this tragedy in the most human way possible. NAR is a project that is showing, spreading, denouncing and reflecting about the consequences of the war and, specially, on peace building. We have established an intergenerational and interdisciplinary dialogue between different actors in different places. Our project has been enriched by the participation of other collectives, journalists, artists, professors, students, intellectuals, victims and witnesses
After four years and thanks to the hard work and solidarity of dozens of persons our association is already known nationally and internationally. We have become an ethical and citizen reference on the analysis of Mexico's violence. We have worked with a wonderful multidisciplinary team and we have maintained our humaneness intact in the middle of this human catastrophe. We have devised different forms to think about what is happening in México and try to solve it.
There's a lot to be done in Mexico, and that is why we want to underpin our project so we can be more helpful. We want to create synergies with others and consolidate different teams that can help us to manage projects on human rights, art and critical thought as tools for social empowerment. We want to escalate our technical capacities and develop security protocols for our collaborators and us. We want also to make it easier to the ones that help us. We want to broaden our perspective and keep joining efforts.

Description of the project. Main features, strengths and differentials.
Nuestra Aparente Rendición was born in august 2010 after the massacre of 72 migrants in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, in the northeastern part of Mexico. It was born as answer against that terrible event. We made an urgent call to ask how many of us where shocked by the massacre and what could we do. We wanted to generate awareness and reflection in order to organize it and insist on five basic prerequisites to end the war: Restoring the dignity of the victims, right to accurate information, citizen protection, freezing the bank accounts related to criminal organizations and a thorough purge of the governmental authorities that have been collaborating or protecting the criminals or are the criminals themselves.
We are a lawfully constituted civil association outside Mexico (Barcelona) that operates thanks the huge efforts of more tan 70 volunteers and collaborators
We manage the only national civil body count and naming in Mexico. Since September 12, 2010 (up to march 6, 2014) we have collected the information on more than 47,325 murders. We work closely with missing person's collectives, associations of orphans, students, indigenous communities, endangered journalists, migrant shelters, refuges for battered and abused women, with men and women that are working for the dignity and peace in Mexico and with every collective that needs care in he middle of this war.
We have reached almost two million hits in all our websites. We have spread the Word on Mexico's state of violence with associations like Amnesty International; institutions like UNESCO; universities like Columbia and Harvard; libraries like the National Library of Bogotá; cultural spaces like the Madres de Plaza de Mayo Forum in Argentina, Palacio de la Moneda in Chile and the CCCB in Barcelona.
We want to spread the word about the humanitarian tragedy that is going on in Mexico and that very few people know outside Mexico because Mexico is usually portrayed as an exotic and friendly country. We want to break with these stereotypes to create awareness, accompany and empower the victims, reclaim the memory, build spaces for dialogue and create effective strategies for peace building.
Our project is for all sensible men and women who are fighting for human rights, freedom of speech and peace.
Goals of the crowdfunding campaign
Use new and diverse communication strategies to visibilize the project, find new partners and improve our synergies with our collaborators
Name a team responsible for communication strategy and social networking. Devise a new communication campaign to spread the news on our new website
Edit the e-books for the projects: "Literary intervention in Mexico" and "The Latin American Map of Our Future" and donate them to schools and universities.
Team and experience
In spite of all the murders, the enforced disappearances, the extortions, the kidnappings, the cross fire, the "narcobloqueos", the militarization, the silence of immense regions, the constant sadness and fear, in these four years of existence, we have shared experiences with journalists, victims and activists and we have learnt from them lessons of love and hope. We have watched how Mexican reporters and photographers have turned into war journalists and have laid a more humane and base for us to understand the war. We have seen how several projects and social initiatives have grown and how ideas and dreams have been given material and generous form. We have learnt from the invincible and dignified force of the entire victim's relatives that have that have trust in our project.
................................................................................................................................................................
We are almost 70 persons working voluntarily in NAR all around the world. We have chosen peace, hope and community work as the core for all our projects:

Don't know how to moisturize your hair? Discover the best masks to recover your natural beauty, because the hydration is not only a question of aesthetics.
Not always we have time and money to go often to the hairdresser, but this is no excuse to not take care of the hair strand.
How to hydrate hair at home, with natural shades, or some more economical and that can easily find in any supermarket, is what you propose today.
The moisturizing serves to restore the natural moisture, nutrients and keratin lost, so it's crucial to take care continuously of your hair to keep it healthy, shiny, silky and soft.
The dream of every woman, and man too!
It is not easy to choose the best mask taking into account the type and the needs of each hair. For this, ask your hairdresser how to moisturize your hair as well home, helping to keep you healthy for much longer. But there are simple tricks that we will share with you.
But fool who thinks that only those who have the dry hair and no life should have this taken care of. Moisturize the hair should always be a concern, regardless of the hair type, the state in which it is located and up to the time of the year. As such, the application of a good mask checks is essential.
Thus, and depending on the state of the hair, the mask should be used at least once per week.
This mask will give your hair the hydration that you need to let it be dry and damaged. To prepare, beat egg in a small bowl and add a teaspoon of olive oil and two tablespoons of mayonnaise. Apply on hair and leave to act for between 15 minutes to half an hour, after this time, wash your hair with your shampoo as usual.
Beat half avocado with two tablespoons (soup) of honey in a blender. Pass the mixture on the wires wet and leave for 20 minutes, protecting your hair with a shower cap or towel. Then wash hair normally. Moisturize the hair can take some work, but in the end it will be worth it.
Puree in a blender half a cup of natural yogurt and two spoons (soup) of honey. Spread throughout the length and wait 40 minutes before washing normally.
Form a paste with a cup (coffee) nuts, chopped, and a cup (coffee) of coconut milk. Apply the mixture on dry hair and leave for 15 minutes. Then just wash normally.

so here we are in bombo lumene, one of the parks closest to kinshasa. just a few hours away, people come down here on day trips to swim in the river, or, if you're like us, you come and stay in one of the old belgian military cabins. since we are technically ministry of environment on official business, it's even better, we are here to play, and work, and eat wonderful congolese dinner prepared by the park warden herself - that's right, a woman runs this place. and not just any woman, a beautiful, feminine badass woman who has a brown belt in judo and did paramilitary training in eastern congo, completing her target practice shooting at real live poachers. she has lots of great stories about weak, pitiful men who just can't handle it out in the wild. i imagine her eating the heads off of live scorpions and stuff.
my collegue staying in the room next door got her ankles munched by a spider the first night, and when we saw her swollen infected wounds, it was upon my wimpering that the warden came and did a thorough search of my bedroom. she says the search came up empty, but still, i bet she didn't tell me that she bit the head off a live spider or maybe a snake.
so the view is nice, and there's a little river just a scramble down the ravine that you can swim in, though watch out you don't get caught up in the current because according to all the kids there's lots of dead bodies under those rocks. and there are adorable goats everywhere that follow you to the one square meter area in the entire park where you get cell phone reception. yes, it's only right there, ok for vodaphone, for airtel it's just over there, but in this spot it's like there's an invisible phone booth, you have to squeeze in next to the other guys to make your call. the guards all wear hunter green with berets, with their knockoff giorgio armani sunglasses and do a very serious, coordinated flag raising ceremony everyday, in front of the goats.
the second day, the phone booth was empty, and that's because everyone's battery died, as the park generator has had a blown fuse for a few days. we brought a tiny generator with us from kinshasa, strictly to power our computers to do our work, and nothing else, yet, everytime it starts up, it's like children of the corn, people coming out of the forest in every direction approching you with their phone charger.
so then they asked us to hook the generator up to a plug that lit up our entire house, which, unknowingly also lit up the entire guard village a few km away, and they wouldn't let us turn it off. it was especially annoying since all the lights in our bungalow go on with the generator and can't get turned off and is a ridiculous waste of energy. the light in my bedroom is right above my bed, and so all the mosquitos and bugs were piling up on my pillow for hours and i had to get the warden to come do a room check and tuck me in.
we quickly ran out of gas, obviously, but as it turns out one of the guard's wife was going into labor and needed a ride to the town, 15km away. our driver took her there in exchange for 20 liters of fuel which they would get in town. i was trying to get some sheets or something to put on the seats cuz i didn't really want to sit in a pool of embryo water or blood the next day but there wasn't much time. but it was the driver who said "hey, hold it in, i'm not cleaning this up!"
it was a girl. they said they are going to name her after the driver, which means they need to feminize the his name (boniface). or they could name her after our project, why not, that would be just as impersonal. anyway.

From gold bars to barring mining, U.S. town awaits extractive ban ruling

"There's not enough gold on Earth that could repay for the damage we would do if we poisoned this valley"
By Gregory Scruggs
WINTHROP, Washington, Dec 18 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A lthough the wooden boardwalk and turn-of-the-century saloons reflect Winthrop's Old West history as a mining town, residents these days are counting down to a year-end deadline that could see the government ban extraction there for 20 years.
Dec. 29 will mark the culmination of a battle by citizens of the Methow Valley, a constellation of small towns along a scenic river 116 miles (187 kilometres) northeast of Seattle.
For two years they have worked to convince the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) to withdraw 340,000 acres (137,600 hectares) of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest at the Methow Headwaters from future mining claims.
If successful, they hope Congress will pass a law that will permanently bar mining in the nearby hills.
"Wildlife, water, recreation, clean air, beautiful scenery, trees - that's what makes this valley what it is," said rancher and former forest firefighter John Doran.
"There's not enough gold on Earth that could repay for the damage we would do if we poisoned this valley."
Despite overwhelming local support, the 1,500 residents of Methow Valley's three towns and surrounding farmland see no guarantee during an administration that has reopened other parts of the West to mining.

COPPER CONCERN
The Methow River provides salmon habitat, irrigation and drinking water - all needs that sparked concern when Blue River Resources Ltd., a Canadian mining firm, proposed a copper mine on Flagg Mountain above the town of Mazama in 2014.
When residents realised the implications of an open-pit copper mine, including new roads for heavy trucks and leaving a toxic pool of arsenic-laced tailings in its wake, they formed a campaign group in 2016 to lobby against the project.
The group, called the Methow Headwaters, rallied local businesses, elected officials and outdoor recreation and hunting groups to protect Flagg Mountain and the surrounding area that is home to wolves, bears, mountain lions and wolverines.
In December 2016, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) - an agency within the DOI - announced a two-year moratorium on mining in the Methow River headwaters.
That met with local approval.
"An open pit mine would degrade a lot of the values that make this valley so attractive to people," said John Lindsey, an ecologist who runs a local business that restores grasslands.
"On a still night when the valley settles down, you can hardly hear a human sound and that's a rare thing in our world," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation at the Winthrop library.
The BLM also began a process for a 20-year exemption - which the DOI is considering. Supporters hope two decades will be long enough for Congress to pass the Methow Headwaters Protection Act, making the exemption permanent.
But if no decision is made by Dec. 29, then the public land above the Methow Valley would once again be open for anyone from a small prospector to a multinational corporation to stake a new claim.

'TAKE IT SOMEPLACE ELSE'
In November, federal officials held a town hall in Winthrop at the community centre. It was standing-room only as over 400 people attended - more than the town's population.
In a show of hands, every person indicated they supported the proposed withdrawal, and many spoke publicly about their fears in light of Berkeley Pit in Butte, Montana, a copper mine that closed in 1982 and that remains highly toxic.
"Mining is a nasty, dirty business," said Sharon Canny, a Winthrop resident who grew up in Butte.
"Take it someplace else."
Others acknowledged the valley's mining history but distinguished between different types of mining.
"There are ways that are not as intrusive to the land," said Doran, the rancher.
He moved to the valley in 1957 and worked for local gold prospectors who he said had less of an impact.
"They don't really scar the land. What they extract, they don't process with arsenic and poisons."
"We're against a major company coming here and changing the whole infrastructure of the whole valley," he said.
Over two hours, residents clad in down jackets catalogued the importance of clean water, scenic vistas and untouched natural environments.
The Methow Headwaters estimates that visitors who come to fish, hunt, hike and cross-country ski contribute $150 million a year to the local economy and that over $100 million has been invested in salmon recovery, which the mine would threaten.
BLM officials acknowledged the near-unanimous support for a withdrawal, and told the audience that of the thousands of public comments submitted on the proposal, only two opposed the withdrawal.
"We have not heard a lot of people who are saying we really are against this withdrawal, but I am sure those discussions are happening somewhere," said Lenore Heppler, BLM mining chief for Washington and Oregon.
The BLM said Blue River Resources Ltd.'s claim had expired, and that just five mining claims remained active in the proposed withdrawal area.
The National Mining Association (NMA), an industry body, said it had not taken a position on this withdrawal, but pointed out that "new mining operations are already either restricted or banned on more than half of all federally-owned public lands".
"Given our nation's growing reliance on foreign minerals and the vast amount of federal lands already closed to mining operations, caution should be exercised when determining whether additional lands should be placed off limits," NMA spokeswoman Ashley Burke said in emailed comments.
'STRONG SUPPORT'
Officials could not tell attendees whether the withdrawal proposal would be approved, saying that decision rests with the DOI. But, they added, Methow Valley's proposal looked strong.
"The ones that are more successful have strong local support, strong support from legislators, bipartisan support," Heppler said.
"We've seen what kind of local, bipartisan, and business support there is here. That message we are going to send up the chain."
Heppler compared the Methow Valley to land near Yellowstone National Park, which the government recommended for a 20-year mining withdrawal in September to preserve scenery, wildlife habitat, waterways and outdoor recreation that fuels tourism in nearby Montana towns.
While Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke – who will be leaving his post at the end of the year – has broadly promoted energy and mining activities on public lands, Lindsey hoped the Montana example offered a model for how the Methow Valley should be considered.
"Places like the Methow Valley should be protected," he said.
"As a country we should value places like the Methow Valley as much as we value the industry and their right to do what they need to do." (Reporting by Gregory Scruggs, Editing by Robert Carmichael.

Alex Maloney and Molly Meech were the only Kiwis to sail on day 2 of the World Cup Series regatta in Genoa. Photo: Sailing Energy / World Sailing.
Alex Maloney and Molly Meech were the only New Zealanders to complete a race, finishing 13th in the blue fleet of the 49erFX, but the score has not yet counted because the yellow fleet were unable to get a race in.
There was racing in the Lasers but New Zealand's top Laser sailors opted to skip the Genoa event, preferring to train at home before joining the European circuit at the end of the month in Hyeres.
Otherwise, it was a day of cards and chat on shore as the majority of the nearly 700 sailors in Genoa waited for the breeze to fill in.
There was barely enough when the 49erFX fleet hit the water but Denmark's Ida Marie Baad Nielsen and Marie Thusgaard Olsen prospered to take victory in the only race of the day.
Maloney and Meech started the regatta well, posting a third in the first race yesterday.
"Unfortunately, we finished off the day with a bad result yesterday," Meech said of their 15th in the second race.
"Today we just didn't get off the start line at the right end and found it really hard to get back through the fleet in a race that was sailed in pretty much 3-5 knots.
"It has been pretty light here so far. Hopefully there's a lot more racing to come but the forecast is looking pretty soft for the rest of the week. Hopefully we will get out there and just nail a few of these light-air races."
Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie did that yesterday and finished the day second in the 65-strong 49er fleet.
Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders also won a race in the Nacra 17 yesterday but were disqualified in their other race for being over the start line (they unsuccessfully protested the decision).
Race management will attempt to catch up when (or if) racing gets under way tonight (NZ time).

(Shooting The) Lights Out With Gilbert Arenas
Published on 12/7/2006 12/7/2006 by GC
Wizards 113, Knicks 102
(though when the Angry Samoans sang "Everything looks better when the world is black / Grab a fork, make the first attack," they really weren't offering advice to Jerome James)
So it's finally come to this. A week in which Neil Hamburger gets a better reception at the World's Most Dysfunctional Arena than the New York Knickerbockers. The chants of "Fire Thomas", I can understand. The chants of "We Want Nate", are far more questionable, unless young Mr. Robinson has donated a lot of tickets. And on that tip, the section with the banner marked "N8'S GR8 SEATS" has some of the worst sightlines in Madison Square Garden. In all honesty, I'm somewhat envious of those who had a poor view of the Knicks' feeble defensive effort Wednesday night, as the Wizards sank a ridiculous 14 of 20 3-pointers, six of 'em launched successfully by Agent Zero. Arenas scored 38 points and it could've been a half century had Eddie Jordan not rested his superstar for a long stretch of the 4th quarter.
On the bright side — and there's not much to choose from — Eddy Curry (22 points, 12 rebounds) scored 20 or more for the 8th consecutive game, and Renaldo Balkman is working ridiculously hard to grab the sort of rebounds his teammates and opponents are somewhat snoozy going after. But between Arenas and Antwan Jamison being allowed to bomb away at will and the diabolically ice cold shooting of Stephon Marbury and Jamal Crawford (a combined 9 for 29 from the field), this one had clusterfuck written all over it.
Biggest ovation of the night (not counting the bush league t-shirt toss) was for a Mardy Collins layup in garbage time.

From section 131, I felt your enviousness. Small disagreement: The biggest ovation of the night came courtesy of Charlene's breathless come-from-behind victory during the tic-tac-toe game. Of all the time-out games in sports, the tic-tac-toe game is second only to the Great Sausage Race.
Is there a more disinterested audience than at a 2007 Knicks game at MSG? This was my sixth game of the season (despite having so many other better things to do, like…ANYTHING ELSE), and tonight the vibe felt like bored restlessness: so little to cheer for. I started up some deep-throated "DEE-FENSE" chants to try and generate some focus on the action. Boy was I lonely.
When David Lee and, to a lesser extent, Rolando Blackmon, are on the court, they defintely make a palpable impression on the crowd—it's easy to feel and respond to their upbeat passion, because IT SHOWS. Jamal sometimes shows it…Q a little moreso…but Lee and Blakcmon wake up the game for everyone. They're fun to watch.
Sometimes I see Marbury as the A-Rod of the Kincks: Both came to their teams as The Missing Piece, and each are being shown zero love, anti-love, because they haven't proven themselves truly worthy. Which one of them has a better chance of earning their NY stripes in five years or less?
Nothing is going to be solved until A) the Marbury/Francis musical closes up shop, and B) Eddy Curry gets the bitch outta him. In other words: things ain't gon' get any better. anytime soon.
surely not Charlene of "I've Never Been To Me" fame?
though Starbury's already on record giving A-Rod his love, I think this comparison wildly flatters the NBA's self-proclaimed no. 1 point guard.
I'm gonna wait for Curry to have another bad game before talking shit about him. He's got issues galore (knowing how to pass out of a double team for one), but he isn't putting up 20/10 most nights without being aggressive. Haywood and Thomas certainly weren't intimidating Eddy last night.
I don't think Crawford is lacking in effort, and he's (very) occasionally a competent defender. But he's never seen a shot he didn't like, and John Bolton's not diplomatic enough to call him streaky.
12/7/2006 at 9:08 am
I saw about one minute of this game, and some dude on the Wizards, right after calling time out, heaved one up from just inside half-court and the announcer informed us that he actually made the shot, depspite not much reaction from the crowd. Did you witness this shot go in, or was the dude bullshitting us?
(I thought "Charlene" meant Janet Jackson.)

Neighborhood Background
From its beginning, Humboldt Park has been a transient community, constantly experiencing changes in its ethnic population. In its earliest days, around the 1880s, the neighborhood was heavily Danish and Norwegian; the population changed as Germans, Scandinavians, and Poles settled into the area.
Between the 1950s and 1960s Puerto Ricans also migrated into the region. In June 1966, a three-day riot occurred when a policeman shot a young Puerto Rican man. These ethnic conflicts broiled during this transition period, which was heightened by the economic difficulties that many Puerto Ricans faced. The Division street area, with its many stores and restaurants, has since become a permanent Puerto Rican community since the 1960s.
During the 1980s Mexicans moved into the region such that by 2000, forty-eight percent of Humboldt Park's population was Latino, half of which were of Mexican origin. At the same time, the black population also grew steadily to equal the size of the Latino population. More recently, Dominican immigrants have moved into the area, once again reflecting the constant changes in the community's rich ethnic population.

Q: In Symfony2, how do you add a session to an anonymous user The following code gets the current user whether they are logged in or not.
$token = $this->securityContext->getToken();
$user = $token->getUser();

If they are logged in a User object is returned, if they are anonymous String => "anon." is returned.
To add a session attribute to the user you do the following:
$user->setAttribute("monty", "python");

But if it's an anonymous user an error is thrown because $user is a non-object.

A: There is service registered with key session, so in your controller you could do:
$this->get('session')->set('monty', 'python');

Home Articles What is Morton's Neuroma?
It is common for people with Morton's neuroma to complain of foot pain that makes them feel like they're walking on a pebble.
It is possible to develop this condition at any age in either one or both feet.
Pain is often felt between the third and fourth toes; it is also possible to have a stinging or prickly sensation in the toes.
The reason for this pain is the swelling or thickening of a nerve tissue between the bones in the ball of the foot. With this type of swelling, you may find it difficult to continue walking without limping from the pain.
By learning about some of the common risk factors that can lead to Morton's neuroma, you can protect yourself and your family better from this painful foot condition.
Morton's neuroma refers to a swollen nerve between the toes.
Besides the constant feeling of having a pebble in your shoe, you may also experience a sharp or burning pain in the ball of your foot.
Sometimes you may feel as though there is something inside the ball of your foot. It is also possible that your toes may feel numb.
Pain can slowly spread to your toes and may increase while walking or running. In the latter stages of the condition, Morton's neuroma can cause your toes to spread apart.
With your toes positioned this way, wearing shoes can become hard as any kind of pressure on your toes will only increase the pain.
This is especially true if you have a fondness for high-heeled shoes or other tight-fitting shoes that compress your toes.
Runners usually feel this pain more because of repeated stress on the affected toes while running. This is especially true for runners with foot posture problems such as flat feet.
Repetitive stress, resulting from the foot repeatedly striking the ground, can make these sports professionals vulnerable to many types of foot problems, including Morton's neuroma.
It is important to remember that symptoms of Morton's neuroma often begin gradually and become progressively worse as the neuroma grows in size.
Which is why it is advisable to consult a foot specialist as soon as you notice any type of persistent pain anywhere in the feet.
There are a few factors that can increase your chances of developing a swollen nerve between the toes.
The most common one is choosing footwear that doesn't fit you properly. For example, wearing high heels regularly will place extra pressure on the toes and may gradually cause the nerve to become inflamed.
With an increase in heel height and a narrow toe box, your toes are subjected to an intense amount of pressure as they remain compressed the whole time.
If you're involved in sports such as running or jogging, then it becomes even more risky to wear uncomfortable shoes, as this will only increase the impact of the foot repeatedly hitting the ground.
Additionally, any type of activity that leads to repetitive stress or irritation to the ball of the foot can also lead to the formation of a neuroma, especially with poor training or form.
Having obesity is another factor that can stress the soft tissues of the foot over time. This is because of the extra weight that is consistently put on the feet.
The additional weight causes the foot arch to flatten over time which affects the way your feet move. There is also an improper distribution of weight across the bottom of the foot which can make you vulnerable to Morton's neuroma.
Foot pain and changes in the foot structure can make it increasingly difficult for you to take up an active lifestyle.
Changes in the foot structure can affect the movement and function of the feet which, as a result, may lead to the development of health problems and also affect body posture.
Foot posture problems such as flat or high arches can also elevate pressure on the toes because of improper movement of the feet.
This type of foot movement causes an unbalanced distribution of weight which can cause more weight to shift towards the toes, leading to inflammation of the nerve.
It is important to get your feet examined for foot posture problems while treating Morton's neuroma. If left untreated, these foot problems can cause this condition to develop again.
This is because the abnormal walking patterns can place you at a constant risk of putting excess pressure on the nerve in your foot.
If you suspect you have Morton's neuroma, it is advisable to first consult a clinician who specialises in foot health such as a podiatrist.
Such clinicians would have the right tools and equipment needed to analyse your feet and spot any problems.
The first step in treatment often involves switching to comfortable shoes that do not leave your toes compressed.
It is better to opt for footwear with enough wiggle room for the toes to move and function properly.
If you're obese, try losing the excess weight by pursing an active lifestyle that consists of a healthy diet and exercise.
This should help in easing some of the stress on the affected nerve.
In case the pain is unbearable, speak to your doctor and see if he recommends painkillers or injections for relief.
For foot posture problems, you can practice strengthening exercises to build strength in flat or high arches.
A good arch strengthening exercise is the towel scrunch – place a towel under each foot (one at a time) and start grabbing it by the toes until you reach the edge.
Practising this simple exercise for five minutes each day can help stabilise your arches and improve their condition.
Additionally calf stretches can help in loosening up tight calf muscles; tightness in the calves can lead to collapsed arches over time.
MASS4D® can help you with flat arches that lead to Morton's neuroma. These insoles have been created by specialists after a thorough analysis of the way flat arches cause different conditions such as Morton's neuroma.
By balancing weight distribution in the feet, MASS4D® will help in reducing any excess stress on the inflamed nerve, promoting healing and recovery.
In this way, your MASS4D® Insoles will make a great addition to a rehabilitation programme designed for Morton's neuroma.
Most people don't realise the negative effects of improper foot movement.
When your feet don't move in a healthy manner, you become vulnerable to painful foot conditions that slow you down, including Morton's neuroma.
MASS4D® Insoles help in regulating movement of the feet to lower your chances of developing this condition again.
Since these are crafted to support the foot, they are able to deliver the level of necessary support required for the treatment of foot posture problems such as flat feet.
With your arch in its normal position, your feet will be able to efficiently absorb shock forces from the ground during running.
This means, not only will your running form improve, but you will also be protected from foot problems that can affect your performance or force you to stop running completely.
This type of supportive treatment promotes healing and helps you recover while keeping you on your feet. So, you're able to move around without much foot pain to slow you down.
Moreover, with your feet ideally supported throughout the day, your body moves efficiently which helps in lessening your chances of developing common health complaints such as low back pain or hip pain.
This is because an unhealthy foot posture adds stress to the lower body which is forced to adapt to the improper movement of the feet. This adaptation leads to a number of visual changes in your posture over time.
MASS4D® also helps promote proper alignment from the feet up to the hips and spine. In doing so, these may provide relief from muscle tension, joint pain and arthritis.
The benefit of having MASS4D® Insoles means you don't have to worry too much about comfort or convenience; these insoles can be worn in most types of footwear which saves you the hassle of having to purchase specific types of shoes to accommodate them.
As part of rehabilitative plans, these insoles assist in the recovery process by keeping any pressure or stress off the affected region; this helps you stay on your feet longer.
So, if you're suffering from Morton's neuroma or know somebody with the condition, order a pair of MASS4D® Insoles today and don't live another day with foot pain.

CARA DUNE Former Rebel, Shocktrooper
The Black Series 6-Inch Action Figure
Item No.: Asst. E4071 No. E6960
Number: #101
Includes: Pistol, rifle, knife
Action Feature: Store pistol in holster, knife in boot
Availability: October 2019
Appearances: The Mandalorian
Bio: A veteran of the Galactic Civil War who fought for the Rebellion, Cara Dune is a seasoned warrior who has put her days of military discipline behind her, and now has reinvented herself as a mercenary. (Taken from the figure's packaging.)
Commentary: Before it aired we had no idea who would be who in The Mandalorian, and it could just as easily be assumed that Cara Dune could be a regular or a guest star. Her first appearance in late November introduced us to a Rebel shock trooper, which you can get because of the "tear" Rebel tattoo under her left eye and the vertical bars on her right bicep that recall the Republic and Imperial Shock Troopers you've seen in games and movies. Or that would be my guess - as of my writing this, there's no guide to all this stuff yet. Like with the movies, the small screen toys are a blank slate until the episode airs - and this is a good one.
Cara Dune is a strange mix of modern and retro. The hair and non-overly-sexualized chest armor, not to mention the ink, feel very much a 21st century flourish while the muted colors and gauntlets feel like vintage Star Wars. If you saw this figure come right out after Return of the Jedi I assume kids and parents would assume Dune to be some sort of punk-inspired thing, but now we're just seeing flourishes of normal people. I love the haircut, and the face printing is remarkable - not only does the portrait look great, but the tiny, teeny, atomic Rebel symbol on her face is one of the smallest details I've seen on an action figure. It looks like a mole at first glance, but it isn't.
When I first got this figure it drove me up the wall trying to figure out where the knife could be stowed - it turns out there's a tiny gap in the left boot, and oh I wish Hasbro would reconsider product photography on The Black Series packaging. It would be great to be shown when a helmet is removable, when a blaster can be stored, or that a knife fits somewhere. She has no problem holding her weapons, or slinging the big one over her back. In an interesting bit of synergy, her rifle has two barrels like the Amban sniper rifle that the Mandalorian uses. Coincidence? Probably. Maybe. The figure is wonderfully detailed without overdoing it, keeping the blues and teals clean with excellent boots. The texture is no slouch, either.
Hasbro has so far very slowly rolled out The Mandalorian figures - and there's a ton of opportunity here. IG-11, Mando, Cara Dune, the Offworld Jawa, and the Heavy Gunner are a decent start. I'm hoping to see a full range - preferably in a smaller size - but that's how I roll. The big guys are great, but what I wouldn't give for 1980s-style 5-jointed figures of the entire cast and creature roster. Cara Dune is a gem, so pick her up to go with your other Gina Carano action figures. (I'm fairly sure this one has the most articulation, though.)
Labels: Rebellion, The Black Series 6-Inch, The Mandalorian (Streaming Series)

Great look at the figure. Dune definitely came to mind when I saw this figure in stores. I can't wait to see Mandalorian. I'm a bit late on getting started but hopefully soon. Thanks.
