42 U.S. Code § 6249c - Contracts for which implementing legislation is needed
prev | next
In general
In the case of contracts entered into under this part, and amendments to such contracts, for which implementing legislation will be needed, the Secretary may transmit an implementing bill to both Houses of the Congress.
In the Senate, any such bill shall be considered in accordance with the provisions of this section.
The Secretary shall consult, at the earliest possible time and on a continuing basis, with each committee of the House and the Senate that has jurisdiction over all matters expected to be affected by legislation needed to implement any such contract.
Effective date
Each contract and each amendment to a contract for which an implementing bill is necessary may become effective only if—
the Secretary, not less than 30 days before the day on which such contract is entered into, notifies the House of Representatives and the Senate of the intention to enter into such a contract and promptly thereafter publishes notice of such intention in the Federal Register;
after entering into the contract, the Secretary transmits a report to the House of Representatives and to the Senate containing a copy of the final text of such contract together with—
Rules of Senate
Subsections (e) through (h) of this section are enacted by the Congress—
as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, and as such they are deemed a part of the rules of the Senate but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in the Senate in the case of implementing bills and implementing revenue bills described in subsection (a) of this section, and they supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and
Introduction and referral in Senate
On the day on which an implementing bill is transmitted to the Senate under this section, the implementing bill shall be introduced (by request) in the Senate by the majority leader of the Senate, for himself or herself and the minority leader of the Senate, or by Members of the Senate designated by the majority leader and minority leader of the Senate.
If the Senate is not in session on the day on which such an agreement is submitted, the implementing bill shall be introduced in the Senate, as provided in the
paragraph (1), on the first day thereafter on which the Senate is in session.
Such bills shall be referred by the presiding officer of the Senate to the appropriate committee, or, in the case of a bill containing provisions within the jurisdiction of two or more committees, jointly to such committees for consideration of those provisions within their respective jurisdictions.
Consideration of amendments to implementing bill prohibited in Senate
Discharge in Senate
Except as provided in paragraph (3), if the committee or committees of the Senate to which an implementing bill has been referred have not reported it at the close of the 30th day after its introduction, such committee or committees shall be automatically discharged from further consideration of the bill, and it shall be placed on the appropriate calendar.
A vote on final passage of the bill shall be taken in the Senate on or before the close of the 15th day after the bill is reported by the committee or committees to which it was referred or after such committee or committees have been discharged from further consideration of the bill.
The provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply in the Senate to an implementing revenue bill. An implementing revenue bill received from the House shall be, subject to subsection (f)(1) of this section, referred to the appropriate committee or committees of the Senate. If such committee or committees have not reported such bill at the close of the 15th day after its receipt by the Senate, such committee or committees shall be automatically discharged from further consideration of such bill and it shall be placed on the calendar. A vote on final passage of such bill shall be taken in the Senate on or before the close of the 15th day after such bill is reported by the committee or committees of the Senate to which it was referred, or after such committee or committees have been discharged from further consideration of such bill.
Floor consideration in Senate
A motion in the Senate to proceed to the consideration of an implementing bill shall be privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.
Debate in the Senate on an implementing bill, and all debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 20 hours. The time shall be equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the minority leader or their designees.
Debate in the Senate on any debatable motion or appeal in connection with an implementing bill shall be limited to not more than one hour to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the bill, except that in the event the manager of the bill is in favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in opposition thereto shall be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. Such leaders, or either of them, may, from time under their control on the passage of an implementing bill, allot additional time to any Senator during the consideration of any debatable motion or appeal.
[1] So in original. The word "the" probably should not appear.

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Storm-Ready Housing > Episode 1: Building with Steel Shipping Containers
Converting Steel Shipping Containers to Housing
Bob joins Askia Aquil from St. Petersburg Neighborhood Housing Services (SPNHS), project manager Ray Price, and general contractor Buba Barrow, while they are in the process of constructing an affordable, energy-efficient, and storm-resistant home from converted steel shipping containers. David Cross from Tampa Armature Works (TAW) explains how the 700,000 abandoned containers that clog U.S. ports can be fitted as intermodal steel building units (ISBUs) that are perfectly suited to quick, affordable housing for storm-threatened regions. Bob watches ISBUs cut, skinned in sheet metal, and sprayed with heavy-duty insulating SuperTherm ceramic coating to prevent heat buildup and transfer.
- Part 1: Constructing the Stem-Wall Foundation
- Part 2: Converting Steel Shipping Containers to Housing
- Bob talks about the vast number of steel shipping containers abandoned in America's ports. Because America is no longer an exporting nation, only an importing nation, it is too expensive to return the 700,000 containers clogging American ports. Tampa Armature Works (TAW) converts these containers to intermodal steel building units (ISBUs). David Cross of TAW explains how, from the basic structure of the container, almost anything can be built.
- Part 3: Finishing the Steel Building Container
Bob Vila is in St. Petersburg, FL, learning how to create affordable, energy-efficient, storm-ready housing from recycled steel shipping containers. Bob and the team build a roomy, single-family home that improves this once-blighted neighborhood and creates opportunity for first-time homeownership.
Also from Storm-Ready Housing
Episode 2 - Hurricane-Resistant Roof and Windows, and Historic St. Petersburg
Bob reviews progress on the container house, noticing the truss-roof system attached to the steel frame. Bill York and Rob Davis from the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) explain how the roof is attached to the frame with welded bolts and hurricane straps. Once sheathed in plywood, this roof will withstand winds up to 140 miles per hour. The PGT WinGuard windows are also code-compliant and feature double-pane energy-efficient, and impact-resistant, glazing to keep the home's envelope intact. Also, in addition to visiting the historic neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, FL, Bob meets with Kelly Cafarelli of the Home Depot Foundation and Todd Pittman of Neighborworks to discuss their efforts to build affordable homes and sustainable neighborhoods, like this one, across the whole country. -
Episode 3 - Steel Walls, Exterior Finishes, and Floorplans
The St. Petersburg container home is roofed and ready for exterior finishes. The Tampa Armature Works (TAW) crew completes the new front wall by welding a piece of 16-gauge sheet metal to steel framing strips, then by cutting a window opening with a plasma torch. Surface burrs, voids, and seams are repaired with a metal filler. After the crew applies a latex galvanized-metal primer, they spray the exterior with an elastomeric stucco coating and finish it with SuperTherm insulating ceramic paint. Next, Bob meets Leslie Chapman-Henderson of the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) who assesses the building and presents Bob with Florida's Governor's Hurricane Conference award for his efforts to promote storm-preparedness. Inside, Bob meets architect and designer Steve Armstrong who explains how this incredibly strong structure offers flexibility for traditional or open-plan layouts. Bob also reviews design possibilities for container housing with TAW's David Cross. -
Episode 4 - Finishing the Container-Built Home
Bob briefly looks at the rich architectural history of St. Petersburg, and the development of its waterfront parks and neighborhoods. He also reviews the construction progress to date. Architect Steve Armstrong and project manager Ray Price join Bob to review the insulating ceramic coating that was used to paint the exterior and protect it from heat buildup. They also review the innovative finishes and design features that helped them transition the exterior surfaces from corrugated metal siding to sheet-metal panels to concrete block to wood with a unified finish. General contractor Buba Barrow joins Bob for a tour of the finish work and interior layout, starting on the tiled front porch, moving through the open-plan family, kitchen, and dining spaces, and into the four bedrooms, each faced in mold-resistant wallboard and painted with an orange-peel textured finish. The kitchen is complete with oak cabinets, laminate counters, a bottom-freezer/upper refrigerator unit and an energy-efficient dual-drawer dishwasher. Last, Bob meets with David Cross to discuss the future of building with converted shipping containers.

[JURIST] The Canadian Federal Court [official website] has ruled [judgment, PDF] that the Military Police Complaints Commission (MPCC) [official website] lacked the authority to investigate complaints that Canadian forces illegally transferred detainees to Afghan custody with the Canadian government's knowledge. Noting that the MPCC is limited to complaints regarding "the conduct of a member of the Military Police in the performance of police duties," Justice Sean Harrington said that detention, release, and transfer of detainees "relate[s] to military operations that resulted from established military custom or practice."
[MPCC] has no jurisdiction to inquire into the conduct of the military at large, much less the conduct of persons who are not members of the military. Thus, while the Commission may legitimately inquire as to what any member of the Military Police knew, or had the means of knowing, it would be an excess of jurisdiction to investigate government policy and to inquire as to the state of knowledge of the Government of Canada at large, and more particularly the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), and to the extent, if any, it had relevant information to question why that information was not shared with the Military Police.

Environmentally Damaging Electricity Trade
Electricity trade across regions is often considered welfare enhancing. We show in this paper that this could be reconsidered if environmental externalities are taken into account. We consider two cases where trade is beneficial, before accounting for environmental damages: first, when two regions with the same technology display some demand heterogeneity; second when one region endowed with hydropower arbitrages with its "thermal" neighbor. Our results show that under reasonable demand and supply elasticities, trade comes with an additional environmental cost. This calls for integrating environmental externalities into market reforms when redesigning the electricity sector. Two North American applications illustrate our results: trade between Pennsylvania and New York, and trade between hydro-rich Quebec and New York.Download Info

'Just-in-time' water delivery for irrigation
The East Basin during spring bloom, developed for the South San Joaquin Irrigation District in Manteca, Calif., as a part of a program to enable farmers to order and manage water deliveries online. Instead of the customary dual basin placement on the east and west areas of the 3,800-acre pilot project, a single, seven-acre basin supports the new distribution system. Photo: Milkhouse Studios
Stantec Consulting software developer Jason Foster showcases an operator screen that demonstrates the operational capabilities of the South San Joaquin Irrigation District's new pump station. It can supply up to 23,500 gallons/minute of pressurized water to 3,800 acres of farmland. Photo: Stantec

A computerized distribution system lets farmers control from their computer, smartphone, or iPad how much water they use and when.
'Just-in-time' water delivery for irrigation Web Extra
California's South San Joaquin Irrigation District's two-component irrigation system has virtually eliminated water waste at 52 customer connections spread out over 3,800 acres. Farmers who chose to participate in the pilot project now customize and manage water deliveries online instead of manually phoning in orders and being restricted to scheduled delivery times.
The district and Stantec Consulting spent three years and $14 million upgrading infrastructure and developing software similar to ordering airline tickets online. During construction, neighboring water districts who'd heard about the project began calling and requesting tours. The effort eventually attracted the attention of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which sent Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan out for a site visit in 2011.
Delivering an innovative but cost-effective hardware/software integration required exploring alternatives to "traditional" design and construction methods. The following are just two examples of how this saved the district $8 million overall.
DATA TRANSFER. Water connections are designed to respond to individual requests from a centralized system and provide each farm with access to the pressurized pipelines. Communication with and between turnouts and meters would typically be provided by a fiber-optic network, a $4.5 million option that probably would've proven temperamental during construction and been difficult to effectively power.
Instead, solar-powered connections link to the pump station and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems via secured wireless Ethernet. Each connection site has a programmable logic controller (PLC) that works with a local synchronized clock to open and close valves based on each farmer's scheduled delivery time.
SUPPLY AND STORAGE. Instead of placing a storage basin on two sides of the project area, hydraulic analysis determined that a single, seven-acre basin could amply support the network.

CloseDesign brief
We deliver natural and organic solutions for people's needs. We are also heavily involved with charities and foundations around the world by donating our own products and helping educate others on important health issues. We REALLY go out and help, we don't talk :)
Medical & Pharmaceutical
None specified
First and foremost, I want to start off by saying that we are really looking for some creativity from you designers. We are so excited to see what you can come up with given some free reign as to what you come up with. We want YOU to come up with some good and unique ideas and if we like the path you are headed, we will definitely tell you.
The pictures attached are just samples as to what we had liked already. We liked the contrast between the blue and the green in the one logo. We like a leaf as part of the logo in other ideas we've had. We also like a colored berry put into the logo to help put in some color and draw attention as in http://99designs.com/logo-design/co…ogo-104753. It reminds us of Truvia's packaging http://images.teamsugar.com/files/u…_SideA.jpg
This logo needs to be simple yet powerful, clean, "earthy", and easy to recognize. It also needs to easily be reproduced for product labels, marketing materials, website, etc. Keep in mind we sell organic health supplements worldwide. We DO NOT want the words "An All Natural Life" to be a part of it. Please try the logo spelled both like NaturALL and Naturall...not as shown in attachments.
The designer that wins may be used for other designwork of the company afterwards as well.
The demographics for this company are WORLDWIDE. With our one main product, we can help people of all walks of life with all sorts of problems...all of this with an organic and completely harmless product.
We are truly changing the world and hope you can be a part of that.

Whiskey Creek started in 1995 across the street in the old Torpedo Shop Building, after 20 years in the old building as the tavern and steakhouse the owners had the opportunity to overcome the challenges of a historic building and move to its present site.
The new facility offers much more logistic ease for running a popular restaurant. The business owners brought a lot of the "old " feel to the new site, still offering piano music for background dining, still cutting our own steaks, making all menu items and sides from scratch using local fresh ingredients. Our goal is to use as many local items as possible including many kitsap county breweries, local farms and a variety of fresh fish that changes weekly.

Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu[1] (born 7 November 1988),[2] better known by his stage name Tinie Tempah, is an English rapper. He released his first mixtape in 2005; his first album, Disc-Overy, debuted at number one in the UK in October 2010 and was preceded by two British number-one singles. In February 2011, he won two Brit Awards for Best British Breakthrough Act and Best British Single.[3]
In November 2013, he released his second album, titled Demonstration, preceded by singles "Trampoline" and "Children of the Sun", which debuted at number three and six in the UK respectively.
Early life[edit]
Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu was born in London, England, on 7 November 1988, to parents from Ibusa, Delta State, Nigeria.[4]
Okogwu lived on the Aylesbury Estate in Southeast London until he was 12 with his parents and three younger siblings: Kelly, Kelvin and Marian.[4] The family later moved to Plumstead, Woolwich, with Patrick attending St. Paul's Catholic School (now St. Paul's Academy) in nearby Abbey Wood. After earning 10 GCSEs,[5] he went on to study A Levels at St. Francis Xavier Sixth Form College, earning A-levels in media studies, psychology, and religious studies.[6][7]
At 12 years old, Okogwu conceived his stage name under which to make music after viewing the music video for So Solid Crew's "21 Seconds". Okogwu used a thesaurus in class, juxtaposing "tempah" (temper), which he saw under "angry", with "tinie" (tiny), to ameliorate the aggressive sound of "tempah".[8]
Regarding his London upbringing, Tempah states, "London is one of the only places in the world where you can live in a council block and see a beautiful semi-detached house across the street. Growing up around that was inspirational, it kept me motivated".[1]
Okogwu has said that he has considered furthering his education, stating "I definitely want to be in a financial position where I can head off to Cambridge or Oxford or somewhere. I would study something like music management or something extremely random like physics, which no-one would expect, as I like challenges".[9]
Career history[edit]
Early career[edit]
Tinie Tempah started out in 2005 when he joined the Aftershock Hooligans (Aftershock records) and recorded hundreds of songs with the fellow Hooligans. He stayed on the label until 2007. When asked why he left, he stated that he felt Aftershock didn't respect him as an artist and that it was time to move on. His first mixtape, "Chapter 1: Verse 22", was released via Aftershock Records in 2005. It was released as a free mixtape. In 2006, Tempah gained a great deal of airplay on British music TV channel, Channel AKA, for his song "Tears" and later on gained more recognition for "Wifey". Later in the year, he collaborated on a track ("Perfect GCD Hood Economics Room 147") with grime artist Ultra and producers/songwriters Agent X. Tempah toured with Chipmunk in February 2010.
His first break as a musician came when Sony launched its PlayStation Portable and used a track featuring Yasmin and DJ Ironik, and "Atlantic/Warner" for the futuristic Wipeout Pure. This resulted in a promotional European tour alongside the likes of Sway and Dizzee Rascal. Tempah, his manager and cousin Dumi Oburota founded the independent label Disturbing London primarily as an outlet for Tempah's music, but with the idea of also signing other young artists. According to Dumi: "We wanted to have a platform to put out our music and there wasn't any Def Jam or Roc-A-Fella label equivalent in England. [Also] I wanted to create a major independent label with quality artists. I felt like the major labels had lost the passion for music."[10] The activities of the label were initially largely funded by student loans and the proceeds from buying and selling cars.[10] Disturbing London also produce a clothing range that Tinie wears and promotes.
When scout and music consultant Jade Richardson saw Tempah performing at the 2009 Wireless Festival she called Parlophone Records president Miles Leonard saying: "You've got to check out this guy Tinie Tempah. He came on at lunchtime and there's about 1,000 kids screaming for him. He's only put out one independent release and he's got this huge audience."[11] Leonard and A&R Nathan Thompson visited Tempah and his manager Dumi at their studio a few weeks later and were hugely impressed to hear about the work they had already done in developing Tempah's career and by the ambitious plans they had for his future.[11] Leonard told HitQuarters: "I thought it was incredible that an artist and manager were doing so much so soon with so little...That impressed as much as the music."[11] Tempah announced his signing to Parlophone in October 2009 by running a competition on his blog, with the winner invited to high tea at Claridges to celebrate the deal.[12]
2010–2011: Success and Disc-Overy[edit]
Tempah released his debut single "Pass Out" through Parlophone on 28 February 2010. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 1, having sold just over 92,000 copies in its first week, and sold sufficiently well to stay at the top spot for a second week as well. Tempah would later perform "Pass Out" on 25 June 2010 at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage with Snoop Dogg. Tempah then announced his second single, "Frisky", which was released on 6 June 2010 entering the UK Singles Chart at number 2. Tempah supported Rihanna for four dates in May on her 10-date UK tour with Tinchy Stryder and Pixie Lott.[14] Tempah performed at many summer balls at various universities around the United Kingdom.[citation needed] Tempah performed at Radio 1 Big Weekend in Bangor on 22 May 2010 on the In New Music We Trust stage.

Tempah released his third single "Written in the Stars" on 19 September 2010. This again charted at number 1 in the UK Singles Chart selling over 115,000 copies in its first week, making it his biggest-selling single to date. The song also went on to chart in a number of other countries. Tempah went on to team up with Swedish House Mafia for his fourth single "Miami 2 Ibiza" which was released on 1 October 2010. This went on to reach a peak of number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and his first number 1 in the Netherlands Mega Single Top 100 chart. He released his long-awaited debut album, Disc-Overy on 4 October 2010 which featured all his previous charted singles.
On 11 October 2010, he kicked off his first UK tour which was supported by Chiddy Bang. He went on to win his first 2 MOBO Awards in October. Tempah also featured on the Tinchy Stryder single "Game Over" which was released on 15 November 2010. This reached number 22 on the UK Singles Chart. On 25 December, Tempah released his fifth single "Invincible" featuring Kelly Rowland, which peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. "Wonderman", featuring Ellie Goulding, was released and was the fifth official single. Tempah joined Usher on the European leg of his OMG Tour in January 2011. Tempah was also nominated for 4 Brit Awards making him the most nominated artist at the awards. His single "Written in the Stars" was used for a WrestleMania XXVII countdown promo during the WWE PPV Royal Rumble on 30 January 2011. It was later confirmed by WWE that it will be the official theme for Wrestlemania XXVII. It's also the theme song for the 2011 MLB Post Season. On 15 February 2011, he won his first ever Brit Award, for Best British Breakthrough Act. He also won a Brit for Best British Single.[3]
On 7 March 2011, Tempah expressed his desire for his next album to go triple platinum. "I reckon in 2011, towards the end of it, I'm going to do an arena tour – and sell it out – then I reckon I'm going to release another album, and fingers crossed it can go platinum again, and double platinum, and triple. Let's just sell a million."[15] In early 2011, Tinie Tempah announced a UK Arena tour. Support acts included Nero, Labrinth and Chase and Status (After Party DJ Set).[citation needed] In 2011, Labrinth revealed that Tempah will be releasing "Pass Out" in the United States, featuring a well recognised artist in the American rap game.[16] He also served as a front act with Big Sean among others on Lupe Fiasco's Generation Lasers Tour. On 28 November 2011, Tinie Tempah hosted an episode of the TV show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks.[17] Also in November, Tinie Tempah released two tracks, "Like It or Love It" which featured both Wretch 32 & J. Cole, and "Lucky Cunt" which featured Big Sean. On 16 December, Tempah released a 9-track mixtape/EP titled Happy Birthday. In early 2012 Tempah featured with Eric Turner and Lupe Fiasco on a track called "Angels and Stars". Tempah's song "Written in the Stars" was used as the entrance song for the New York Giants before Super Bowl XLVI.
2012–present: Demonstration[edit]
By December 2010, Tempah was writing a second album,[18] saying there will be a more electronic and live feel to it. It was originally intended for a late 2011 release.[13][19] During an interview, Tempah commented on his second album: "I always like to work with different people on each project I do, just so you get a different sound and angle. I will be working with some of the same people I did for the first album, you know what they say 'if it ain't broke then don't try and fix it'."[20] Tempah hoped to collaborate with other artists; I really want to collaborate with Toronto's very own Drake and Adele. At the Brit Awards in 2012, he announced his second album would be called Demonstration.[21] On 24 June 2012, Tempah performed at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend on the main stage. He played two of his newest songs called "Mosh Pit" and "Drinking from the Bottle" which he features on with Calvin Harris as lead artist, and features on Harris' new album 18 Months. Tempah won best EP of 2011 for the Happy Birthday EP at the Official Mixtape Awards 2012. On 12 August, Tempah performed at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[22] His appearance at London's Olympic Stadium included his performance of "Written in the Stars" alongside Jessie J and Taio Cruz.[22] In 2013 Tempah's single "Frisky" was used for Bacardi's new commercial advertising their new pineapple flavor.
The lead single from Demonstration, "Trampoline" was premiered on MistaJam's BBC Radio 1Xtra show on 2 July 2013. The lyric video was premiered shortly afterwards.[23] It features 2 Chainz and is produced by Diplo. It was released on 4 August 2013 in the United Kingdom and peaked at number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. In the interview with MistaJam, Tempah cites Dizzee Rascal and So Solid Crew as influences for the album, who've influenced him since his childhood. In recent interviews Tinie and other artists have announced that they were working on his album such as Labrinth, Dizzee Rascal, Ellie Goulding, Big Sean and Emeli Sandé. The next single from the album, "Children of the Sun" featuring John Martin is produced by iSHi and was premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on 12 September. It was released on 28 October in the United Kingdom and charted at number 6 in the UK. On 16 September, to promote his forthcoming UK arena tour, the album track "Don't Sell Out" live at the O2 Arena was uploaded to O2's YouTube channel.[24] He performed at Keele University on 8 October in a surprise event. On 19 October 2013, Tinie Tempah was awarded "Best UK Hip Hop/Grime Act" at the MOBO Awards' 18th Anniversary.[25] The album, Demonstration, was released on 4 November 2013,[26] which entered the UK Albums Chart at number three. Demonstration also debuted at number twenty-two on the Australian album charts and number forty on the New Zealand album charts. Tinie announced a third single, featuring Labrinth, entitled "Lover Not A Fighter". It is scheduled to be released in February 2014.
Tinie features on a vocal remix of the 2013 DVBBS and Borgeous instrumental EDM hit "Tsunami", retitled "Tsunami (Jump)", which will be released through Ministry of Sound in 2014.[27]

The new packaging innovation leaders
Trader Joe's has carved a unique niche for its retail operation by making private-label offerings a staggering 80% or more of its total merchandise mix. Though the natural/gourmet retailer's 310 stores lack the marketing reach of the larger food chains, Trader Joe's still sets one of the industry's highest standards for food-marketing savvy. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Trader Joe's has developed a distinctive footprint in a sea of retail sameness.
Long a practitioner of creating great customer experiences, Trader Joe's has a cadre of very loyal fans. More than 2,000 private-label products account for about 70% of Trader Joe's product volume, according to Hoover's. In stores that average 10,000 to 15,000 square feet in size, sales per square foot are reportedly twice that of supermarkets and three times that of specialty stores.
While the actual figures are hard to pin down because Trader Joe's is privately held, statements that do emerge provide great insight into the retailer's modus operandi. When asked about the depth and breadth of its private-label lines, Doug Rauch, Trader Joe's President, was quoted as saying that the retailer wanted to create its own product lines so that "We could put our destiny in our own hands."
Unlike many large food retailers that are trying to consolidate, launch or re-launch their private label brands, Trader Joe's seems to embrace its quirky, fun approach to private label—as long as the "Trader" is highly visible. For many of its commodity offerings, Trader Joe's simply uses its store-brand name to great effect. Loyal customers perceive value, quality, and fun as part of the overall Trader Joe's brand. They trust the brand implicitly.
It's no accident that Trader Joe's plays off its name for many of its brands. Its private-label Asian foods are dubbed Trader Ming's, its Italian products are designated as Trader Giotto's, and its Mexican/Latin selections are named Trader Jose's. Supplements and vitamins are packaged as Trader Darwin's.
One of Trader Joe's most successful products continues to be its private-label Charles Shaw wine, popularly known as "Two Buck Chuck." The moniker evolved after numerous stores in the chain used the wine as a draw at $1.99 per bottle.
Though many have criticized the retailer's packaging as "unimaginative," the company does offer clever store-brand names, and many other marketers believe that Trader Joe's no-frills approach and overall image are in sync. To some extent, savvy marketers and loyal customers expect Trader Joe's to go counter culture. The flavor of its fun-filled store environments and helpful, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable employees spill over into Trader Joe's product offerings and packaging.
Will Trader Joe's positioning continue to sustain the company's growth along with the growth of its private-label program? With a unique blend of buying, merchandising, marketing, and sales know-how that breaks down traditional retailing silos, you can bet on it.
How far can effectively branded and packaged private-label products go toward building a retail brand? Think about it.

Home ›12/26/2012 The Ride: Lower Brule to Mankato
Host Laura Waterman Wittstock talks with Miguel Vargas in the KFAI studios about the Dakota 38 + 2 ride as the horses and riders arrive in Mankato, Minnesota and a sculpture is dedicated on the 150th anniversary of the hanging of 38 Dakota patriots. The extreme cold reminds those in attendance of the suffering the prisoners underwent as they waited for execution. Runners from Fort Snelling ran the 83 miles from St. Paul to Mankato in remembrance of the forced marches to imprisonment from Dakota territories to an area below the fort. During imprisonment, hundreds of children, women, and elder men died from exposure and starvation. Waterman Wittstock was in Mankato and Vargas was in the studio. This is a show not to be missed.

CROIX-DES-BOUQUETS, Haiti (AP) — Teenagers in blue-and-white uniforms pour out of classrooms of this boarding school at the edge of Haiti's capital, chattering in their native language of Creole about the science test they have just taken.
''Eske ou te byen konpoze?'' asks one boy in the campus courtyard. In English, it translates as ''How do you think you did?''
''I'm not so sure,'' a girl answers back in Creole with a shrug of her shoulders. ''The exam was really difficult.''
The students don't speak much French at the school, although it remains the primary language of instruction in most Haitian classrooms. In fact, less than 10 percent of the country's 10 million people speak French fluently, and in most schools, even the teachers don't understand it very well although they're asked to teach in it.
The private Louverture Cleary School has already broken from that linguistic tradition and is instead emphasizing the Haitian Creole children speak at home. The school is also introducing students to Spanish from other parts of the Caribbean and the English they will likely need in the future.
''It is a practical issue,'' said Deacon Patrick Moynihan about the Creole language-based curriculum at the boarding school. ''It really is about being part of this region.''
Elsewhere, students struggle using French text books and coping with what largely remains a foreign language in a country once colonized by France, but more and more under the sway of the powerful economies of the United States and Latin America.
In many schools, children copy French lessons by rote from the chalkboard, understanding little.
''I really have to work hard, because I don't speak French at home. My parents don't speak French at home,'' said 14-year-old Alexandra Julien, who attends another school, as she walked to class one recent morning. ''They speak Creole.''
Three years after a devastating earthquake killed more than 200,000 people here, Haiti's abysmal educational system remains an obstacle to building the expertise and skills needed to help this impoverished country recover.
Haiti's 1805 Constitution declared that tuition would be free and attendance compulsory for primary students. But the quality of education lagged through the years, and plunged during the 29-year-long dynasty of Francois ''Papa Doc'' Duvalier and his son Jean-Claude, or ''Baby Doc,'' which ended in 1986. Haiti's professionals fled into exile to escape political repression, spawning a major brain drain the country has never bounced back from.
About 30 percent of the country's youth are now illiterate, according to the U.N.'s children agency, UNICEF, and only half of all children can afford to attend primary school. Less than a quarter attend secondary school.
In a 2011 report published in the journal ''The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs,'' author Brendan McNulty wrote that 80 percent of Haiti's 16,500 or so primary schools are private, and they adhere to no academic standards. The article focused on rebuilding Haiti's education system after the quake.
Like the Louverture Cleary School, more organizations inside and outside the country are saying Haiti's educational crisis can be eased by educating the nation's children primarily in Creole, which all students and teachers truly understand, and bid adieu to French as Haiti's primary teaching language.
''We have lost, we have wasted, so many Einsteins because of the language barrier,'' said Michel DeGraff, a leading Creole scholar and Haiti-born linguistics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. DeGraff led a four-day workshop in January to help Haitian teachers incorporate Creole into math and science curricula, challenging the notion that the language is not sophisticated enough for the hard sciences.
In a sign of growing interest in Creole's educational potential, the U.S. Agency for International Development last fall awarded a $12.9 million contract to the North Carolina nonprofit group, RTI International, to create a basic reading curriculum that includes the language.
The humanitarian group Concern Worldwide is also developing Creole course materials and training teachers in the language. Duke University recently held a Creole linguistics workshop for U.S. and Haitian scholars in Durham, North Carolina, that treats Haiti's native tongue as a subject worth serious academic study.
Haitian Creole, which grew out of a mix of 18th-century French and West African languages, is the nation's lingua franca, but it wasn't until 1961 that it joined French as one of the country's two official tongues.Continued...

The world has been changed by mobile technology, and the field of healthcare is no exception in this. Healthcare has moved on and is continuing to change because of the increasing ability to use mobile devices in the field.
One of the most overriding benefits is giving people in developing countries better access to information through their mobiles. The use of mobile phones in developing countries is very large, never before have the poorest parts of the world been so accessible in this way.
There is an improved ability for mobile applications to allow people to diagnose diseases via their mobiles and access information and education, health and treatment. One of the best ways that mobile devices can benefit the populations of developing countries is through education.
The field of mobile health doesn't just allow people to improve their own health and access information but it also enables healthcare and other authorities to gather data about healthcare problems, as well as political and environmental issues. Data may have been far more difficult to gather on these subjects in particular locations in the past.
There are numerous discussions and conferences around how mobile technology can be utilised in this area and how it can be so useful to the populations of developing countries. One of the key questions is how do we use this technology to improve people's lives and life expectancies across the developing world.
Technology is at our fingertips and we can do so much with it, it is now just a case of organising that technology so it can be of great benefit to people whose lives could be improved by its use.
Two way communication
Communication with people in poor rural areas in a two way dialogue, via SMS or voice can transform the reach of education and resources. Just being able to provide useful information to people at risk in rural areas is a real step forward.
This information isn't solely restricted to mobile phones or smartphones. Other devices such as laptops or tablets are being developed that are at a price point that can be affordable in developing countries.
As technology develops and mobile health strategies advance, there is an opportunity to improve lives.

Buena Park, CA - February 2012... Hosa Technology, the leading innovator of analog and digital connectivity solutions for the modern musician, is pleased to announce that their new Hosa Pro Speaker Cables are now shipping. Combining first-rate cable for enhanced signal transmission and audio quality, world-class REAN® connectors by Neutrik AG, and class-leading workmanship, the new Hosa Pro Speaker Cables re-define the landscape for professional quality cables at a midline price.
Cable quality is crucial to signal transmission and sound clarity. In this regard, the new Hosa Pro Speaker Cables raise the bar for products in their price range. These outstanding cables feature 14 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors for enhanced signal clarity and a black PVC jacket for durability, flexibility, and low visibility on stage.
While most other speaker cables in their price range are limited to ¼ inch TS (tip-sleeve) connectivity, Hosa Pro Speaker Cables are available with REAN Loudspeaker connectors by Neutrik AG, the industry leader in connectivity solutions. With both Loudspeaker and ¼ inch TS connectors available in this product line, users are assured of a superior product with the right connectivity option.
Rean Loudspeaker connectors by Neutrik AG incorporate silver-plated contacts for superior signal transfer, a glass-reinforced housing for rock-solid reliability, a robust, twist-lock mating system for secure connectivity, and chuck-type strain relief for maximum cable retention. The ¼ inch TS connectors include nickel-plated contacts for efficient signal transfer and rugged durability, a zinc die-cast housing for superb reliability, crimp-type strain relief for larger-diameter cable, and rubber boot kink protection to ensure long cable life.
Jonathan Pusey, Hosa Technology's Director of Sales and Marketing, commented on the new Hosa Pro Speaker Cables. "Hosa Pro Speaker Cables are engineered to deliver years of rugged, dependable performance," notes Pusey.

Names you like but have been "ruined" for you?
Are there any names that you like, but someone/something has ruined it for you?
Mine are;
Adolph- obvious reasons.
Lolita- child porn.
Isabella- too popular.
Nicola- I loathe a girl named Nikki.
Riley- too unisex.
Miles- a name of an ex.
Audra- Audrey is too popular.
Naomi- "I moan" backwards Nevaeh style.
Melina- Medical term for blood in stool.
Timothy- MIGHT use it. But my history with a guy named Tim makes it iffy.
What are yours?

Currently reading Lolita and just realizing how many names Nabokov is ruining for me. Now all I think of when I hear Lola, Dolores, Lo or Lolita is a man being obsessed with a twelve year old (or so) girl. It's good book though
Under normal circumstances, I think Twilight would have ruined Isabella (and Bella) for me, but when I was allowed to choose my sisters name back in 2002, I chose Isabella and therefore it feels somewhat less Twilight-y for me. It chose it before it was coolZelia/Elja • Nineteen • Name and history nerd from an early age • I have a blog.Trying hard to export beautiful old Danish names, magical Danish nature names and exotic Greenlandic names.
Current favourite combinations: Henry Ásgeirr Edmund • Amaury Charles Fyodor • Alexander Adelin Lórien
Cosima Ingrid Zenobia • Matilda Ivalo Galadriel • Gaia Margaret Undómiel
