The Kardashian Sisters Go Topless For Denim Line
The Kardashian girls know what sells, and they have it going on in the topless pic for their denim line. I know a lot of people will be checking out the ad, but will they buy the jeans? When getting a steady stream of negative press take your top off! Hey, it’s worked before! The Kardashian sisters already have their own clothing line for Sears and are now expanding with a denim line. I think this is a great idea. I love their clothes, and girls with curves need some good denim! Of course Celebuzz has all the deets, which you can see here, and they spoke with Kardashian Kollection co-creator Bruno Schiavi. He told them, ?We?re very excited about it. It launches in about four weeks. The girls love denim. And then we are really excited about home. Home looks incredible. There are three designs in home, everything from bed to cushions and pillows to bathroom accessories and shower curtains. Home is spectacular so we can?t wait for that. And swimwear of course is to die for. We are shooting our new swim campaign actually in January. We?re very excited about that.? The ads are cute, but I am [...]
Romney picks up 2 delegates in South Carolina (AP)
WASHINGTON ? Mitt Romney has picked up a consolation prize from the South Carolina Republican presidential primary: two delegates.
Newt Gingrich handily won the Jan. 21 primary and got 23 of the state's 25 delegates. South Carolina Republicans awarded 11 delegates to the statewide winner and two delegates for winning each of the state's seven congressional districts.
Gingrich won six congressional districts, but the vote in one district was too close to call on election night. State party political director Alex Stroman said Monday the party had determined Romney won the district by about 1,400 votes.
Romney now has 35 delegates, including endorsements from Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the convention. Gingrich has 25 and Rick Santorum has 14. It takes 1,144 delegates to win the nomination.

Iowa State stuns No. 5 Kansas, 72-64 (AP)
AMES, Iowa ? Royce White had 18 points and nine rebounds as Iowa State upset fifth-ranked Kansas 72-64 on Saturday, snapping the Jayhawks' winning streak at 10 games.
Melvin Ejim added 15 points for the Cyclones (15-6, 5-3 Big 12), who had lost 13 straight to Kansas since their last victory in 2005.
White, a 39 percent free thrower shooter in Big 12 games, hit a pair to put Iowa State up 64-59 with 1:47 left. Kansas threw the ball away and Chris Babb drained a 3 to give the Cyclones an eight-point lead with 55.6 seconds left.
Tyshawn Taylor led five players in double figures with 16 points for Kansas (17-4, 7-1), which hadn't lost since Dec. 19 against Davidson. Thomas Robinson had 13 points, but he committed five turnovers and the Jayhawks were outrebounded 36-23.
Iowa State students celebrated the biggest win of coach Fred Hoiberg's tenure by storming the floor.
This was Kansas' toughest true road test of the year so far ? and it ended with the Jayhawks' first true road loss of the season.
Kansas caught the Cyclones napping to start the second half and took its biggest lead to that point, 45-39, thanks to an 11-0 run. But big man Anthony Booker brought Iowa State back, sinking a rare 3-pointer to put the Cyclones ahead 50-49 with 12:13 left.
Neither team could get much going over the next 6 minutes, but Tyrus McGee's three-point play gave Iowa State a 56-53 lead with just over 6 minutes left. Robinson then blew an open dunk and White hit two layups ? one a reverse he spun off the glass ? to make it 60-55 Iowa State with 3:42 left.
White also had five assists, and Scott Christopherson finished with 14 points for the Cyclones.
Iowa State fed off the energy of its second sellout crowd of the year and jumped on the Jayhawks early.
Booker drilled a 3 and Babb followed with a steal and layup that put Iowa State ahead 19-11, prompting Kansas coach Bill Self to call timeout.
Kansas finally took a 31-29 lead on an impressive scoop through traffic from Taylor with 3:31 left before the break. Iowa State rallied to grab the halftime advantage, 37-33, despite committing 13 turnovers in the first 20 minutes.
The Cyclones led in part because of their defense on Robinson. He was 1-of-6 shooting in the first half and traveled three times trying to free himself up for shots in the paint.
Kansas certainly knew what Iowa State was capable of after the Cyclones threw a scare into the Jayhawks in Lawrence two weeks ago.
Iowa State led at halftime back on Jan. 14 and pushed its lead to as many as 12 points before Kansas stormed back for an 82-73 win. The Cyclones might have been able to pull off that upset had they shot better than 2 of 15 from 3-point range in the second half.
Iowa State didn't let the opportunity pass by this time around ? and it now has a marquee win that will look great on its resume come March.

All Yoga iPhone app strikes the right pose (Appolicious)
All Yoga strikes a careful balance, giving beginners needed structure in order to understand the basics, while providing room to experiment for those who are comfortable with advanced poses.
That depth manifests itself in a few different ways. The most obvious is that while All Yoga showcases individual poses, listing step-by-step photos alongside written instructions for how to perform each pose, the meat of the app is in its programs.
Users can select from pre-set sequences, like the sun salutation, strengthening practice or stress management practice, and they?ll be treated to a carefully selected list of poses. This is particularly great for beginners who might not be sure what order to do their yoga poses in to get the most benefit from them.
Those with more familiarity with yoga poses can certainly use those programmed sequences, but should also find the ?Routines? tab on the app a welcome site. In ?Routines,? users can create their own practice sequences and save them for later use. It?s a great way for people to apply the knowledge they?ve gained through the structured practices on their own.
If you don?t have the money to spend taking an actual yoga class, All Yoga seems like a great alternative. It could use some voice narration for the poses, as some of them make it a bit difficult to look at your iPhone as you tie yourself in knots, but other than that, this is a superbly put-together app with appeal for all audiences.

Facebook poised to file for IPO next week
Paul Sakuma / AP
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg could be worth $20 billion if current estimates hold true.
By msnbc.com staff and wire
Updated at 5:25 p.m. ET
Facebook is poised to file papers as early as next week for an initial public offering that could be one of the biggest in history, creating hundreds if not thousands of instant millionaires, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The highly anticipated IPO will value the world's largest social networking site?at between $75 billion and $100 billion, the Journal reported on its website. So far the Journal appears to be alone with the report. Facebook declined to comment.
Founded in a Harvard dorm room in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and his friends, Facebook has grown into the world's biggest social network with over 800 million members. Facebook earned roughly $1.5 billion in operating profits on $3.8 billion in revenues last year, CNBC's Julia Boorstin reported, citing unidentified sources.
The impending IPO -- expected to raise $10 billion -- is a prized trophy for investment banks, setting up a fierce competition on Wall Street, particularly between Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, which are expected to be the two lead underwriters.
The IPO could come about three to four months after the filing, which likely would put it sometime in May. Facebook is under legal pressure to go public this year because of the so-called ?500 shareholder rule,? which requires companies to disclose financial information by the end of the first quarter the year after the company tops 500 shareholders.
Information about Facebook's ownership structure and employee compensation packages is hard to come by, since the still-private company discloses very little. But that could all change next week if the company files documents required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer stock to the public.
It is clear that Facebook's earliest employees, who were given ownership stakes, and early venture capital investors -- such as Accel Partners, Greylock Partners and Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel -- will see the biggest paydays.
The Journal reported that Accel could see a return of $9 billion on an initial investment of $12.7 million. Several other venture capital firms would see their stakes grow to over $1 billion in value. Thiel's current stake could not be determined.
Zuckerberg, 27, is estimated to own a little over a fifth of the company, according to "The Facebook Effect" author David Kirkpatrick, meaning he could be worth $20 billion. The latest Forbes 400 list estimated Zuckerberg was worth $17.5 billion, making him No. 14 on its list of richest Americans.
The wealth will trickle down to engineers, salespeople and other staffers who later joined the company, since most employees receive salary plus some kind of equity-based compensation, such as restricted stock units or stock options.
Facebook's headcount has swelled from 700 employees in late 2008 to more than 3,000 today. Given its generous use of equity-based compensation in past years, people familiar with Facebook say that even by conservative estimates there are likely to be well over?1,000?people who will become instant millionaires, at least on paper,?when the company goes public.
"There will be thousands of millionaires," said a former in-house recruiter at Facebook, who did not want to be identified because of confidentiality agreements.

Camera-nabbing leopards caught on video
Snow leopards are one of the most elusive cats on Earth. Not only is the species endangered, but it is notoriously shy, and much about where snow leopards live in the wild remains mysterious.
So researchers got a big surprise when a set of 11 camera traps installed in a lonely corner of Tajikistan revealed at least five snow leopards were living in the region, including a mother with two young cubs.
The motion-sensing camera traps were set high in the remote Pamir Mountains.

Hockey videos aim for educational goal
Over the three-month study period, the cameras snapped pictures of a parade of creatures ? mountain ibex, Marco Polo sheep (the largest in the world), a rare mountain weasel, a variety of birds and the family of snow leopards. [See photos of the snow leopards and other animals here.]
"This is the first detailed biodiversity survey of the area, and it's very exciting to see so much diversity," lead scientist David Mallon said in a statement. "But the highlight was confirming the presence of what seems to be a healthy population of breeding snow leopards."
Yet when scientists returned to retrieve their camera traps, they found only 10. One had gone missing.
A close look through the piles of pictures revealed the culprits: the two snow leopard cubs.
A companion camera trap to the stolen rig caught the two young leopards red-pawed.
The IUCN, an independent international body that assesses the status of species around the globe, has listed snow leopards as endangered since at least 1986. The big cats, known for their cloudy gray fur and dark spots, are native to Central Asia's high mountains, and their numbers have been decreasing.
Hard numbers are difficult to establish, but it is estimated that between 4,000 and 6,500 snow leopards are left in the wild. ?
Despite the fact that researchers found only five cats, they were encouraged by the results of the survey, which was conducted by British-based Fauna & Flora International with the help of U.S.-based big-cat conservation organization, Panthera.
Snow leopards require large swaths of land, and researchers said the region offers a good place to concentrate conservation efforts.
"These survey results demonstrate that there is hope still for the endangered snow leopard," Panthera's Tom McCarthy said in a statement.
The fate of the stolen camera is unknown.

Somali captors move US hostage after SEAL raid

Map locates area around the town of Adado, Somalia, where two hostages were rescued during a helicopter raid.
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) ? A group holding an American hostage in Somalia moved him at least three times in the day since U.S. Navy SEALs rescued an American and a Dane and killed their nine kidnappers, pirates said Thursday. The abductors said they would kill the hostage if they are attacked.
The high-profile rescue early Wednesday raised questions about whether the many other Western hostages held in Somalia have a greater chance at release ? or are in greater danger.
"If they try again we will all die all together," warned Hassan Abdi, a Somali pirate connected to the gang holding the American. "It's difficult to hold U.S. hostages, because it's a game of chance: die or get huge money. But we shall stick with our plans and will never release him until we get a ransom."
U.S. Navy SEALs parachuted into Somalia early Wednesday and hiked to where captors were holding American Jessica Buchanan, 32, and Poul Hagen Thisted, a 60-year-old Dane. A shootout ensued and nine captors were killed. Buchanan, Thisted and the U.S. troops were all unharmed. The two aid workers had been kidnapped by gunmen in October while working on demining projects for the Danish Refugee Council.
Buchanan and Thisted on Thursday were at the U.S. Naval Air Base at Sigonella, Sicily as part of their reintegration process, undergoing more complete medical examinations and debriefing. Officials could not immediately say how long they would stay there before returning home.
The U.S. government said the raid was prompted by Buchanan's deteriorating health. An ailing Frenchwoman kidnapped by Somali gunmen died in captivity last year after not having access to her medication.
"Holding hostages in one place is unlikely now because we are the next target," Abdi said, referring to the raid in a phone conversation with The Associated Press. He expressed concern that the U.S. had pirate informants.
"It wasn't just a hit and run operation, but long planned with the help of insiders among us," Abdi said, noting the soldiers had struck at the time when the pirates were least on their guard.
The gang has moved an American kidnapped on Saturday in the northern Somali town of Galkayo three times in the last 24 hours, he said.
Other hostages held in Somalia include a British tourist and two Spanish aid workers seized in neighboring Kenya, a French military adviser and 155 sailors of various nationalities hijacked by pirates at sea.
The aid group Doctors Without Borders, known as Medecins Sans Frontieres, employed the two Spanish women. The group said it is pleased that Buchanan and Thisted were freed and that MSF is still seeking the liberation of its workers, Montserrat Serra and Blanca Theibaut. It hinted, though, that it views military raids as risky.
"MSF strongly favors the nonviolent resolution of such cases, as the use of force endangers the lives of the hostages and may result in the tragic loss of human lives," the group said. "We call upon the Somali population, especially the local authorities in control of the areas where the two are held, to do everything in their power to assist in their safe release."
It's not always clear what group is holding a captive in Somalia. Hostages have sometimes been sold from one gang to another. Captives can be held for long stretches: Two journalists from Canada and Australia were held for 15 months before being released in 2009, and the French military adviser has been missing for more than two years.
The security community is divided over whether the U.S. raid would make life more difficult for other captives, one Western official in Kenya said, or whether the killings of the nine captors might make pirates think twice about launching future operations. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
On Wednesday evening, hours after the U.S. military raid, the gang holding the American kidnapped on Saturday started circulating false rumors that they had executed him.
Another security official who has years of experience in the region said it is likely the men holding the American would move him onto a ship with other foreign hostages, because ships were easier to defend and planning rescue operations is more complicated when there are hostages from other countries involved.
The official also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. At least one pirate agreed with his analysis.
"I think land captivity is going to end now. Sea is much safer," pirate Mohamed Nur said by phone from the coastal town of Hobyo. "Even ships are not very safe but you can at least hit back and resist."
Americans have been captured by Somali pirate gangs before. In 2009, the cargo vessel Maersk Alabama was briefly hijacked before pirates took to the lifeboat with the ship's captain, who was rescued after Navy sharpshooters killed the pirates.
But in a sign that pirates are getting increasingly violent ? and perhaps jittery ? four Americans onboard a hijacked yacht were killed last February. It's still unclear why the hostages were shot. Two of the pirates had already boarded a U.S. warship shadowing the yacht.
Several senior pirates condemned Wednesday's U.S. raid, which was authorized by President Barack Obama, and at least one warned that any other U.S. hostages might suffer as a result.
"They send hit squads and kill all they want, so there is no way we will care for their people (hostages) while they are killing us. They will see the aftereffects and reap the results of their actions," said Bile Hussein, a Somali pirate commander.
A spokesman for Somalia's weak U.N.-backed government said the pirates had got what they deserved.
"Pirates have no place in our society," Abdirahman Omar Osman told AP. "This is a huge and unforgettable lesson for them."

Sen. Kirk speaking, asking for phone after stroke (AP)
CHICAGO ? Sen. Mark Kirk was doing better than expected after suffering a stroke and undergoing emergency surgery, his neurosurgeon said Tuesday, noting the Illinois Republican was answering questions and even asking for his Blackberry.
Dr. Richard Fessler, who performed surgery on Kirk at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said the 52-year-old "is doing very well" but that the road to recovery will be long.
"Everything is where we want it to be," Fessler said.
Kirk's stroke over the weekend affected his left side, particularly movement of his left arm and his face. Surgeons removed a piece of his skull Sunday to alleviate pressure from swelling and Kirk remained in intensive care. Doctors said he was expected to make a full mental recovery, but may not ever regain full movement, even after a long rehabilitation.
Experts and other politicians who have been through similar medical situations said Kirk's rehabilitation will be grueling, could take years and his movement might never be the same.
It's unclear when Kirk will be able to return to work, but doctors said he appeared eager to do so.
"He asked for his Blackberry yesterday so he's ready to go back to work," Fessler said. However, he added, doctors did not give it to him.
Fessler said Tuesday that Kirk, who is right-handed, was able to move his left side "very little." Kirk was speaking with a slight slur and has some facial paralysis, which doctors hope will be addressed with rehabilitation.
Doctors were able to remove a breathing tube and allow the senator to breathe on his own and Kirk appeared very aware of his surroundings and what had happened to him, Fessler said.
Fessler said Kirk will remain in intensive care for four to five days while swelling subsides. After that, they'll set a date to put back the 4-by-8-inch piece of Kirk's skull that was removed.
The senator likely will then need weeks and perhaps months of inpatient physical rehabilitation. Doctors said it was too early to tell how long rehab would take.
Kirk, who won President Barack Obama's former Senate seat for the Republican Party in 2010, is a Naval reserve commander who has to pass physicals each year and is an avid swimmer. Doctors said he had a healthy lifestyle and reasonable diet.
Getting him back to that level will be difficult, especially as a patient lying in bed loses muscle mass each day, experts said. Rehabilitation can involve strenuous exercise, electric stimulation on the muscles and psychological help.
"I call this boot camp," said Dr. James Young, chairman of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. "And I'm not just saying that. I mean, this is hard. This is hard on everybody."
He said that for many who suffer strokes, regaining their balance is difficult because the two sides of the body are never quite the same.
It's a road familiar to former Alabama Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, who had a similar stroke to Kirk in November 2006 about three weeks after losing the race for governor. The stroke left the 74-year-old unable to move the left side of her body from her shoulder down to her foot and she has to use a wheelchair.
"My doctors said that long period of continuous stress might have been a contributing factor to me having the stroke," she said of the 18-month campaign.
Tests showed Kirk had a tear in the carotid artery on the right side of his neck, but Fessler said Tuesday the cause of the stroke is unknown and may never be clear. He said diet and stress did not appear to be behind Kirk's stroke.
Baxley struggled with a loss of balance and rigorous rehabilitation that included painful stretching exercises for her leg. Six years later, she still has home visits from physical therapists three times a week to help her try to walk with a cane and exercise her left leg and arm.
"A lot of it is, what they teach you how to do, you need to do a lot of it on your own. And that's hard to do, because it hurts," she said.
Two years after the stroke, she went back into politics and was elected president of the Alabama Public Service Commission, an office for which she is seeking re-election this year.
Once a vigorous campaigner, she had to scale back her travel and appearances.
Kirk's staff said his office would remain open for constituent services. Gov. Pat Quinn ? who would appoint a temporary replacement if the stroke did not allow Kirk to finish his term ? said he expected the senator to make a full recovery.
Meanwhile, colleagues noted his absence. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who Kirk had planned to sit with at Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night, said he'd leave Kirk's seat empty to honor him.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) ? Serena Williams lost at the Australian Open for the first time since 2008, struggling with her serve and hitting too many unforced errors in a 6-2, 6-3 loss to Ekaterina Makarova on Monday.
Williams was surprised by the power of the groundstrokes from the Russian left-hander, who at No. 56 was the lowest-ranked woman to make the fourth round of the season's first major.
The dominant force at Melbourne Park this century, Williams had lost only two matches at the Australian Open since winning the first of her five titles here in 2003. She was on a 17-match winning streak after capturing titles in 2009 and 2010 and missing last year due to injury.
But she had seven double faults ? including four in the fifth game of the second set ? and 37 unforced errors to give Makarova a spot in the quarterfinals at a major for the first time. She'll play either 2008 champion Maria Sharapova or Sabine Lisicki.
"I don't know what to say. Amazing feeling and first time in quarterfinals," the 23-year-old Makarova said. Williams is "an unbelievable player. It's really tough to play against her so I'm really happy I finished it in my way."
Williams sprained her left ankle in a warmup tournament at Brisbane two weeks ago, but didn't show any signs of being seriously restricted Monday.
She was bothered by a bug that landed on her left shoulder when she dropped serve for the first time in the match, and became increasingly exasperated as her misses piled up ? including one overhead that she sent way too long and another that she hit meekly back for Makarova to pass her.
Williams won the first two games in the second set but then Makarova went on a roll, winning the next four games ? including the double-fault strewn game at 2-2 when Williams screamed after one and asked herself out loud after another: "How many double-faults do you want to make?"
Williams didn't blame her ankle injury or the heat, which increased to 93 during the day, but couldn't even describe how bad her serve was.
"Yeah, I served like .... it's inappropriate. I don't know," she said. "It was just disastrous really. Maybe I should have started serving lefty."
The Russian got tighter toward the end but kept her nerve to hold in a key game. Then, with Williams serving to stay in the match, she needed four match points before Williams sent a backhand wide.
The absence of Williams opens up the women's draw, with Sharapova, defending champion Kim Clijsters and Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova the only major winners still in contention. Clijsters advanced to the quarterfinals with a comeback win over Li Na on Sunday in a rematch of the 2011 decider, while Kvitova had some trouble late before beating former top-ranked Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 7-6 (2) in the opening match Monday.
The 21-year-old Kvitova was seemingly fast-tracking her progress to the last eight until her game momentarily came undone near the end of the second set after she completely missed a routine overhead at the net to allow the former French Open champion to pull to 4-5.
She lost the next eight points to fall behind 6-5 ? badly missing on a couple of wild groundstrokes ? and only managed to force a tiebreaker with two big serves out wide in the 12th game.
Ivanovic's two double-faults early in the tiebreaker gave Kvitova some easy points and took the pressure off.
The match seemed close to ending much earlier when Kvitova got into perfect position to put away an innocuous lob from Ivanovic, but played through the shot too quickly and was hit instead on the body.
"It was a very tough match at the end. I mean it was a really easy point then I thought I got it and I lost eight points in a row," she said. "I'm very happy I played very well in the tiebreak."
She'll next play Serra Errani of Italy, who beat 2008 semifinalist Zheng Jie 6-2, 6-1.
On the men's side, two-time Australian Open runner-up Andy Murray only spent 49 minutes on court and was leading 6-1, 6-1, 1-0 when Mikhail Kukushkin retired from their fourth-round match with a left hip injury, giving him an easy path into the quarterfinals.
"It's obviously good for me, I get to conserve some energy," Murray said. "Tough for him, first time in the fourth-round of a Slam."
He'll next play Kei Nishikori, who had a stunning 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win over sixth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the 2008 finalist.
The 22-year-old Nishikori became the first Japanese man to advance to the Australian Open quarterfinals in 80 years, and the only the second man from his country to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal in the Open Era started in 1968. Shuzo Matsuoka reached the 1995 Wimbledon quarterfinals.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic was playing Lleyton Hewitt on Monday night.
On Sunday, Clijsters set up a quarterfinal against top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki, who had a 6-0, 7-5 win over former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic. Wozniacki is yet to win a major, but her confidence is high.
"If I play like I did today, Kim will have to really play well to beat me," she said.
Clijsters needed pain killers to get through the 2-hour, 23-minute win over Li and she's hoping ice treatment will help her recover in time for the quarterfinals.
Third-seeded Victoria Azarenka advanced with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Iveta Benesova. She next plays eighth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska.
Roger Federer more or less held a clinic at Rod Laver Arena, where he has won four of his 16 Grand Slam titles, on Sunday night ? a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Bernard Tomic that moved him into the quarterfinals for a 31st consecutive major.
Federer's quarterfinal will be his 1,000th tour-level match. He plays 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, whom he once expected to rise to No. 1.
Rafael Nadal advanced with a convincing win over fellow Spaniard Feliciano Lopez. The 2009 champion's right knee was heavily wrapped and his left ankle needed to be taped after three games of the first set. Afterward, he said he was fine.
He will play Tomas Berdych, hoping to avoid a third consecutive quarterfinal loss in Melbourne.

Sears continues stellar stock performance (AP)
NEW YORK ? Sears continues its ascent as the improbable top performer for the year on the Standard & Poor's 500 index, defying a string of bad news, macabre earnings reports and rumors that lenders would cut off financing for suppliers.
Shares of Sears Holdings Corp. have jumped an astounding 61 percent this year, another 6 percent Monday, lighting up financial blogs with investors unable to figure out what has gotten into the stock, driving it ever closer to a 52-week high.
Credit Suisse on Monday said it had the answer: Short sellers who can't get out of the way fast enough.
The report comes on the heels of a rumor that Chairman Eddie Lampert would buy the company and take it private.
And the stock keeps rising, up $3.20 to $45.20 Monday, perhaps even turning on its head news that had previously jolted the value of the iconic retailer. There were reports Thursday that CIT Group Inc. may begin approve financing for Sears' suppliers ? just days after several published reports claimed that CIT had begun cutting them off.
That was two days after shares surged on filing reports showing that Lampert had snapped up $159 million in stock, which suggested to some that he was taking the company private. He owns about 59 percent of the company's shares.
Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter is calling it a short squeeze. In other words, investors who may have shorted the stock, hoping to make a killing when shares fell even further, are now being forced to buy more stock in order to protect themselves from what, at the moment, seems to be a mistaken bet against Sears.
As for the future of the company, Credit Suisse did not mesh words.
"There are four days you do not want to own this stock and those are the four quarterly earnings days," Balter wrote. "Other than those, this stock seems to live off of stories, with the latest being that a leveraged buyout is ahead."
That, Balter said, is unlikely, "given the poor positioning of both Sears and Kmart."
In November, Sears posted a worse-than expected third-quarter report, citing poor electronics sales and lackluster clothing sales at Kmart. Last month, after a disastrous holiday shopping season, Sears said it would close at least 100 stores to raise cash ? raising the specter that the end may be approaching for the 125-year-old retailer.
Balter is sticking by his "Underperform" rating. He has a $20 price target for the stock.
That's below the 52-week low of $28.89.

Compromise would defer Israeli settler evacuation
JERUSALEM (AP) ? The Israeli government hopes to reach a compromise with settlers that would stave off a looming deadline to evacuate the largest unauthorized settlement enclave in the West Bank.
The 50 families in the Migron outpost live on land that is private Palestinian property. Israel's Supreme Court has ordered them to leave by March 31.
The Migron residents refusing to comply. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed a compromise Sunday that would relocate the outpost to nearby land that is not privately owned.
Netanyahu's office had no comment on the timing of the move. A Migron spokesman, Itai Chemo, says the new housing would take up to two years to build.
That could allow the settlers to remain in their homes long past the impending deadline.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
JERUSALEM (AP) ? The Palestinians' top Muslim cleric is facing harsh Israeli criticism for quoting a religious text that includes passages about killing Jews.
Mufti Mohammed Hussein said his remarks at a rally for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement last week were taken out of context and that he didn't incite people to kill Jews.
The comments from the rally were posted to YouTube by an Israeli watchdog group tracking incitement.
In the video, the mufti cited a hadith, or saying attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, that the Earth's end of days will not happen until Muslims kill Jews in a religious battle.
Israeli Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday condemned the comments as "heinous."

Urinating cat, not fire, caused smoke in Pa. home
NEW CASTLE, Pa. (AP) ? One western Pennsylvania fire department learned that there's not necessarily fire wherever there's smoke.
New Castle's assistant fire chief Jim Donston tells The Associated Press that firefighters were called when an electrical outlet on a floor was smoking, only to find that happened because the family's cat urinated into the outlet.
The New Castle News (http://bit.ly/zHd1RS ) first reported the incident Friday and Donston supplied more details to the AP.
The assistant chief says a Columbia Gas worker was at the house checking for a possible leak when he noticed the smoking outlet and called the fire department Wednesday about 7:30 p.m.
Donston says firefighters "found the receptacle wet from cat urine" and shut off the electrical supply to that circuit.

Twitter Acquires, Shuts Down Social News Startup Summify
Summify, a startup that uses social data to create a personalized news digest, just announced that it has been acquired by Twitter. This sounds like a talent acquisition on Twitter's part ? in other words, the main purpose of the acquisition was probably hiring the Summify team. Some of Summify's feature have been immediately disabled, it's no longer accepting new users, and in a few weeks, Summify says it will shut down the current product entirely. Meanwhile, the startup will be moving from Vancouver to San Francisco to work out of the Twitter office.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/jaofnuYFRHs/

Romney says he is taxed at around 15 percent rate (Reuters)
MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (Reuters) ? Republican Mitt Romney acknowledged Tuesday that his income tax rate is "probably closer to 15 percent than anything," suggesting that one of the wealthiest people to ever run for U.S. president pays a much lower rate than most Americans.
His comment, a day after Romney agreed for the first time to release his tax returns -- but not until April when they are generally filed -- added fuel to his Republican rivals' calls for him to be more transparent about his finances.
It also drew fire from the Democratic White House and other critics, who said it reflected how Romney, whose estimated net worth is $270 million, is out of touch with the experiences and concerns of typical Americans.
Romney, a former private equity executive and Massachusetts governor, seemed to feed that narrative on Tuesday. He said that he gets speaker fees "from time to time, but not very much."
Annual campaign financial disclosure forms indicate that he was paid more than $374,000 in speaker fees from February 2010 to February 2011.
Romney's estimate of his income tax rate suggested that like many of the wealthiest Americans, he could earn a large chunk of his income from investments - much of it in capital gains.
Because capital gains generally are taxed at 15 percent compared with the top income tax rate of 35 percent on ordinary wages, those with significant income from capital gains often pay lower tax rates than many Americans.
Such disparity in the rates within the U.S. tax code are a sore point for many Americans, even some of the very rich whose rates are relatively low.
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, for example, has said he paid $6.9 million in federal income taxes on $39.8 million in taxable income in 2010, a rate of 17.4 percent. Buffett has said it's unfair than his tax rate is lower than his secretary's.
Romney is the prohibitive favorite to win the Republican nomination and the right to face Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 6 elections.
On Tuesday, the White House moved quickly to portray Romney as an elitist, which almost certainly will be a theme of Obama's campaign this fall.
"Everybody who's working hard ought to pay their fair share" of taxes, the White House said in a statement. "That includes millionaires who might be paying an effective tax rate of 15 percent when folks making $50,000 or $75,000 or $100,000 a year are paying much more."
ROMNEY UNDER PRESSURE
Romney has long been reluctant to raise a curtain on his vast financial holdings.
In recent days, Romney's increasingly desperate rivals - former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry - repeatedly have questioned whether Romney, in not releasing his tax returns, is hiding something.
Their calls for Romney to release his returns were echoed on Tuesday in a New York Times editorial, which called Romney's "insistence on secrecy impossible to defend now that he appears to be closing in on the nomination and questions have intensified about his personal finances."
During Monday night's Republican presidential debate in Myrtle Beach, Romney said, "I have nothing in (the returns) that suggests there's any problem and I'm happy to" release them around the federal tax filing deadline in mid-April.
"I sort of feel like we are showing a lot of exposure at this point," Romney added. "And if I become our nominee, and what's happened (with past presidential candidates) is people have released them in about April of the coming year, and that's probably what I would do."
FORTUNE INVESTED IN BAIN FUNDS
Tax analysts say Romney may have good reason to be reluctant to release his returns.
His vast fortune is invested in dozens of funds linked to Bain Capital LLC, the powerhouse private equity firm he co-founded and led for 15 years. Several Bain funds have offshore connections and take advantage of tax breaks used only by the U.S. financial elite.
His tax returns could shed light on how Romney and Bain use offshore strategies to avoid taxes, said Daniel Berman, a former U.S. Treasury deputy international tax counsel and now director of tax at Boston University's graduate tax program.
Bain funds in which Romney is invested are scattered from Delaware to the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, Ireland and Hong Kong, according to a Reuters analysis of securities filings.
"Certain interests in foreign investment structures would have to be reported on attachments to his return," Berman said.
On capital gains, Romney's tax returns would not reveal any gains that he has not yet realized, even though those gains would be easy for him to lock in at any time, Berman said.
"I remember as a young lawyer being surprised to see tax returns of very successful investors showing net losses - because they were recognizing net losses" but not yet factoring in unrealized gains, Berman said.
Romney's returns also might not spell out how much he benefits from a tax break used by private equity executives called the carried interest loophole.
This rule allows private equity and hedge fund managers to pay the 15 percent capital gains tax rate, rather than the top income tax rate, on a large portion of their earnings.
A SERIES OF ATTACKS
The demands by Gingrich and Perry are their latest attempt to draw attention to Romney's wealth.
They also echo Gingrich and Perry's criticism of Romney's time at Bain, which he left in 1999. Bain was involved in overhauling dozens of companies, and in some cases laid off thousands of workers.
Gingrich, Perry and others have portrayed Romney as a job killer and, as Perry put it, a "vulture" capitalist. The attacks don't seem to have worked, for Romney is still leading in most public opinion polls.
Gingrich continued to pound on the tax return theme Tuesday.
"It's interesting that Romney agreed that he ought to release his income taxes but he doesn't want to do it until April," by which time Romney could have clinched the Republican nomination, Gingrich said during an interview with CBS.
"I think the people of South Carolina ought to know now -- if there's nothing there, why hide it until April? And if there's something there, don't the people of South Carolina deserve to know before Saturday?"
Gingrich added that he would release his tax returns this week. As Texas governor, Perry has released his each year.
Gingrich and Perry are battling former Pennsylvania U.S. senator Rick Santorum to put together enough conservative votes to block Romney's march to the nomination.
Romney won the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary this month - the first two nomination contests - and is favored to win the South Carolina primary Saturday as well as Florida's primary on January 31.
Santorum, thought earlier this month to be Romney's main challenger, has not been as vocal in calls for Romney to release his tax returns.
A Santorum aide said that he was unsure whether Santorum would press Romney on the matter, but said, "We've been a pretty staunch advocate of airing out all the laundry now."
"We don't need any surprises," the aide said. "We need to know now."
The Romney campaign dismissed the latest calls to release his tax returns as a sign of desperation.
"This is pasta politics," Eric Fehrnstrom, a senior Romney adviser, said. Gingrich is "throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks."
