| Discount Stores Keeping It Fresh for Less
A discount can go a long way these days, especially for fashionable college students on a budget. Howard University students, like many collegiate scholars, often find themselves stretching their funds to make ends meet. For the fashion-savvy student, this task can be even more difficult, but discount stores like T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and Loehmann's have come to the rescue.For the student worrying about academics, extracurricular activities and countless other issues, staying on top of the latest trends can be a challenge. However, those who cannot afford name brands at their usual high prices can take a trip to their local off-price retailer because they often cater to "people of all income levels," sophomore biology major Aja Harvey said. Harvey, an avid shopper, recognizes that many students are natural-born shoppers, but just do not always have the means to do so at full price.

Truth B Told 4.12.07: It’s Still Real To ME Damn It!!
Now that Hulkamania is over and kayfabe is dead, one has to ask whether or not we still want to live the fantasy or keep it real.
When you were a kid, Hulk Hogan was a superhero who flew in to flex his massive muscles, pose for the crowd, beat up the bad guy, then fly out to another city to do it all over again next week. That was enough to keep you happy and you were more than satisfied to accept that reality. It was indisputable that the power of a big boot and a might leg drop could vanquish any foe and the orange muscleman in the yellow and red, with your help and support could beat any one, any time, anywhere. Now, there is a new muscleman, though less orange, he sports a pair of camouflage shorts, supports the troops, and stands for everything good and wholesome. He still fights for truth, justice, and everything that is American, but instead of being a "thug" he is now a "Marine".
Blockbuster's Online Focus is Killing its Competitive Advantage
Patrick Cruise submits: “Invite your enemy onto the roof, then remove the ladder." One of the ancient Chinese 36 Strategems of war aptly describes Netflix's (NFLX) (perhaps accidental) strategy in the movie rental battle with Blockbuster (BBI). Enticing the giant, store laden Blockbuster into a battle for online customers ('the roof') is an excellent way to use Blockbuster's current strength (retail stores) against itself. BBI has tried to compete with NFLX with its Total Access [TA] service which, so far, has gained a lot of customers and cost a lot of money (not least the $2 BBI spends every time a TA customer enters a BBI store). BBI is currently seeing a massive revenue and margin shortfall for its TA customers versus its traditional in-store (offline) customers, but is busy turning offline customers ('the ladder') into TA subscribers at the rate of 1M per quarter.
