Traffic to sears.com is three times that to landsend.com so the latter site should get a boost when the two are linked. The two companies, when joined, will have the added advantage of accessing each other's customer files. Sears has data on 130 million customers, Lands' End on 30 million.

After criticism, he said he always planned to stop six months before the election...
...movie, a starting varsity point guard and apparent Adams House resident (Adrian Greiner) gets involved with gamblers, LSD and the Hottest Holy Cross Cheerleader In Recorded History (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Somehow, the latter item only makes the first two worse, and Greiner—a philosophy concentrator who sleeps with one of his professors and whose rantings about existentialism pepper the film with more unintentional comedy than a Celebrity Boxing marathon—finds his life spinning out of control...
