U.S. stocks rose on Thursday as investors cheered the release of two stronger-than-anticipated reports on the jobs market, setting the stage for Friday’s highly anticipated June jobs report.

At the preliminary close, the Dow Jones industrial average gained 93 points, or 0.7 percent, to 12,719; the S&P 500 added 14 points, or 1.1 percent to 1,353; and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 39 points, or 1.4 percent, to 2,873.

Retail stocks jumped Thursday after several large chains reported better-than-expected June sales. Kohl’s was the second-best performer on the S&P 500, up more than 7 percent, followed closely by Target, Urban Outfitters and Macy’s.

Divorcing With Pomp and Circumstance

July 6th, 2011 Paul Smith

A new business in Japan lets divorcing couples celebrate their change in a ceremony not unlike a wedding, except instead of publicly tying the knot, they cut it.

After one of his friends was going through a painful divorce process, Hiroki Terai had come up with the idea of holding divorce ceremonies to help couples rejoice over their decisions to part ways.

Divorce ceremonies are thus a very recent phenomenon and to witness how they take place, one will have to travel to Japan and South Korea, which are currently the only two countries where couples formally untie their marital knots. They are no different from wedding functions, but with a different outcome.

The lowest price for the customer? The price that will provide the best value for the customer? The price that will result in the highest profit for your company? The price that will result in the most sales for your company?

It can get even more complicated. To figure out the relationship between the price you charge and the profitability that results, you have to do some cost accounting. For instanc
