Retailers Report Sluggish October Sales
By ANNE D'INNOCENZIO,AP
Posted: 2007-11-08 11:11:34
NEW YORK (AP) - The outlook for the holiday shopping season grew bleaker Thursday after retailers announced disappointing October sales results due to consumers' ongoing worries about housing and higher energy prices.

The downbeat news came from all sectors including mall-based apparel stores like Limited Brands Inc. and department stores like Macy's Inc. Even upscale Nordstrom Inc. posted a rare sales decline while Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, posted sales below expectations despite its aggressive discounting heading into the holidays.

Warehouse club operators including Costco Wholesale Corp. and BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. were among the few standouts, a sign that consumers are searching for lower prices.

"Overall, the sales trend continues to slow," said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics LLC, a research company in Swampscott, Mass. "I think the consumer is certainly feeling the (economic) pressure heading into the holidays."

Milder than normal weather also hurt sales, wiping out consumers' appetite for winter wear.

The International Council of Shopping Centers-UBS tally was up 1.6 percent in October, below the original 2.5 percent forecast, marking the slowest October pace since 1995. The tally is based on same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, considered a key indicator of a retailer's health.

I have been writing stories since I was young and have always loved it. I saw an ad in a local women's mag, and I really want to apply. Here's the ad:

"If you love writing stories about and for women, we'd love to hear from you. Attention to detail and knowledge of AP style required. Please send resume, three writing clips and a cover letter."

So I am just wondering what kinds of writing clips to send? How long should they be? I have many blogs, but do you suggest they be women related considering that's what the position calls for? Or just an example of how I write? I am not very familiar with AP style either, so any resources would be great! Someone suggested that I get the AP Stylebook, but I wasn't sure.

I really would love to have this opportunity to freelance, but I am not really confident in what to do here!

Thanks for your help.

What do you think, should they just divide the country into two equal halves, or should the Israelis leave the palestinians in peace after 60 something years of baby killing, land stealing? Or do you find it normal what Israel is doing, and if so why.

I can imagine the moveon.org's of the world will flip on this one. Liberals attack regardless of the situation or results. Iraq has shown significant progress yet that is brushed under the rug as liberals turn the screaming up. Why don't we all realize what a monumental challenge the war on terror is and band together, rather than attack George Bush while offering no solid alternatives other than to completely pull out and sit on our heels waiting to be attacked again?

animals have died? Even the fish and polar bears in a huge country like Canada are dying, and all over the world animals are dying as farmers and builders dig up the natural habitat of animals.
When will religious people stop defending the extinction of animals just to produce more babies and increase membership in their racial or religious sub-groups?

I can't understand why such a powerful movie that is gathering wide spread attention on the internet is not being talked about in the media. Regardless of whether it is fact or fiction it is becoming a huge deal and seems odd that no "credible" media outlets or politicians are talking about it or at least attempting to debunk it. To me this seems to add more credibility to the message. You can watch the movie at http://zeitgeistmovie.com/.

Do we actually know that the airplane crashes and fires caused the World Trade Center to collapse or this just assumed? Is it (in theory) possible that the airplanes crashes were a decoy or diversion so that someone could get a bomb or other implosive or explosive device past security and that the bomb or other implosive or explosive device, not the airplanes, ultimately caused the collapse?
