For more than 160 years, Macy's has been much more than a department store. It's a cornerstone of American shopping, with generations eager to buy everything from back-to-school clothes to holiday gifts. But now it is a surprise that the store has been forced to close, leaving millions to wonder how such a powerful and fast-moving brand could be defeated. Macy's, the US retail giant, now faces a difficult future. Signs of trouble have been showing for several years, including declining traffic, aging stores, and an inability to keep up with a fast-paced retail environment. However, experts say the real story is corporate mismanagement, intense competition, and a lack of innovation.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

For the last several decades our industry has come under intense scrutiny, and for many of the complications we face, many would say we brought on ourselves. From the public's perception of catastrophic injuries to medication regulation, surface integrity, a depleting foal crop, to taking care of our backstretch workers, and a litany of other issues; self-inflicted. Yet, if you take time to look around and engage, our industry has started to take pride in ownership, and is working toward improving how we have been doing business.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.
