  Target digs itself a deeper hole in emergency contraceptive scandal - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth
Target is now saying that they'll fill your prescription in a "timely manner" at another pharmacy, or at their pharmacy at a later time (presumably when their holier-than-thou employee is on break).
How can Target say that the employees have an absolute right under the 1964 Act to discriminate in what they sell because of their religion, but then they don't have that same right if the product the employee objects to selling is anything other than Plan B? That makes no sense.
Target abides by all state and local laws and, in the event that other laws conflict with our policy, we follow the law.

If Target had taken some action back in June last year, just adding alt attributes to images and starting work on the other issues and informing NFB and the public that action was being taken, they would no be heading to court.
Target’s web site, however, is merely an interface to gain access to their services, like a telephone or the postal system.
Target is accommodating individuals with disabilities by the accessibility of their physical stores, where the service of the establishment is offered.

 Party Crasher: Target Opening - Gawker
Reporting live from the center of the universe.
Last night Target threw open the doors at its new Brooklyn outpost, with a common goal: to show us the definition of "they'd go to the opening of an envelope." Our staff photographer, Eliot Shepard, was there.
I use the terms "this is surreal" and "I hate hipsters" and "there's no way this could be happening" every day but then last night at Target it became clear that all the other times I said it and didn't mean it it was just practice for this singularly bizarre event.

 How to use FireWire target disk mode
FireWire target disk mode allows a Macintosh computer with a FireWire port (the target computer) to be used as an external hard disk connected to another computer (the host).

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Merry Christmas Target
It was never true that Target had "banned" the use of the phrase 'Merry Christmas' in their stores.
However, observation of Target's in-store, web, and printed promotional materials indicated that the discount chain was among the many retailers (in the U.S., at least) who began the 2005 holiday season by downplaying or eschewing use of the word "Christmas" in favor of the less-specific word "Holiday."
We didn't find any signage in our local Target that used the word "Christmas." All the promotional signs we saw carried the chain's non-specific holiday slogans, such as "Savings for the Season" or "Gather Round" (even though the text of the latter was always printed in the traditional green-and-red colors of Christmas).

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Rumors About Target
Target does support events in the communities in which our stores are located.
Target's stated policy is that they provide grants at the corporate level for programs involving the arts, education, and family violence prevention, and donates at the local level to a variety of charitable causes.
The line about Target's responding to inquiries by stating that they provide corporate grants only for 'gay and lesbian causes' is a falsity added to later versions of the message.

 Amazon.ca: The Target: DVD: Jean-Pierre Roux,Christopher Lambert,Dennis Hopper,Diane Kruger,Simon Majiba   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Target is a movie of two distinct halves -- both flawed, but with merit.
That done, The Target (the original title, The Piano Player, had to be changed in the wake of the success of The Pianist) goes into old-fashioned Western mode and becomes High Noon with voodoo ceremonies.
The Target starring Christopher Lambert is not a great film, nor is it a great cheesey action movie.

 Gothamist: The New Yorker's Target Audience   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
As reported in the NY Times last week, Target wanted to do something more "breakthrough" to really pay off their "Pay Less, Expect More" mantra, and ended up buying an estimated $1.1 million of media to secure all the ad space in the New Yorker, which is cheap, considering the well-heeled audience and free publicity.
Target doesn't seem to have any place on its website that shows all the New Yorker ads they commissioned, which is surprising since the ads are only to run once, but perhaps Target thinks the ads need to be experience in situ.
I went to the Target in downtown White Plains last year thinking it would be fun to see what they have considering they have the Mossimo and Mizrahi lines.

 Target — October/November 2005
The first two-story Target opened in 1999 in the Washingtonian Center, a lifestyle center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, centered on a main street.
The main thing that has changed at Target in the past five years is that the company has learned how to design and build urban-format stores and has gotten a handle on the costs, so that calculations can be made on profitability, says Varda.
Target still tends to avoid extensive display windows with views into the floorspace, which means that blank walls are still a problem.

But his method is far different — if someone's life is threatened, he'll put on a disguise and impersonate the endangered party, drawing fire to himself, and bet his own life he can catch the bad guy before the bad guy catches him.
Apparently deemed not gaudy enough to fly on his own in a superhero-dominated comic book market, The Human Target (no relation) was strictly a back-pages character (when he was being published at all) for many years.
The Human Target continued in Action Comics for less than a dozen issues (the last dated February, 1974), then was dropped for years.

 Blind Cal student sues Target / Suit charges retailer's Web site cannot be used by the sightless
"Target thus excludes the blind from full and equal participation in the growing Internet economy that is increasingly a fundamental part of daily life," said the suit, which seeks to be certified as a class action and alleges violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and various state statutes.
They chose Target because of its popularity and because of a large number of complaints by blind patrons.
But Target's site lacks "alt-text," an invisible code embedded beneath a graphic on the Web site that a screen reader could use to provide a description of the image to a blind person, the suit said.

 Off Target with the Salvation Army by Joseph M. Knippenberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Of course, Target, which has a well-deserved and assiduously cultivated reputation for being a good corporate citizen, could write a check to cover the shortfall.
Target is also apparently concerned that if they say "yes" to the Salvation Army, they can’t say "no" to any other non-profit that wishes to solicit in front of its stores.
While it of course requires less thought to say "no" to everyone—in the name of the high principle of a "distraction-free shopping environment"—it’s not all that hard to say that there is a long-standing American tradition, quintessentially represented by the Salvation Army, of encouraging holiday good cheer to extend beyond family and friends.

Target was a financial marvel, but it wasn't until the late 1990s that it began to amass cultural capital.
It would come as small comfort to Eustace Tilley that Target has a brighter ambience than Kmart or Wal-Mart—that, he might remark dryly, is grading on a curve.

 Analyze the Target Audience
The means for gathering this information will be to visit a sample of the target outlets and carry out two surveys.
The simplest way to do this is to obtain lists of all of the target outlets in your training programme area and select a sample using the interval method.
Finally, it will be useful to distil the data that you have tabulated into two summaries: one which describes store operations and a second which compares reported and observed behaviour for treating diarrhoea.

A curious case may mean that debt collectors can't threaten to sue their targets unless they really mean it
Everyone knew that because courts had said so, and Target's lawyers made this compelling point in asking the judge to dismiss the suit.
And though Target concedes nothing, saying its website "complies with all applicable laws" and that it is "committed to vigorously defending this case," Sexton calls this "a big victory for us," one that helps propel his plan to open a training center for the blind after he graduates from Berkeley in 2008.
