- Adidas (ADDYY) is the company that might have the biggest headache from the news that Justin Bieber was arrested earlier today for drag racing in Miami under suspicion of being intoxicated.
- The company has a highly-touted Neo for Adidas line endorsed by the singer.
- Though most retail analysts see the arrest as a negative for Adidas and its investment, a few aren't so sure sales won't actually get a boost from the development.

- Under Armour (UA +0.2%) has landed the equipment contract for the University of Notre Dame, according to ESPN.
- The high-profile endorsement has been with Adidas (ADDYY) since 1997.
- Good news for Fighting Irish fans: Under Armour has a history of backing winners. Its biggest contract this year was with Auburn University which made it all the way to BCS Championship Game for football.
- What to watch: Sterne Agee analyst likes the development, saying that he thinks the spend is already built into Under Armour's preliminary guidance.

- Sports apparel sellers Nike (NKE -0.6%), Under Armour (UA -0.5%), and Adidas (ADDYY) spend over $250M a year to secure exclusive equipment contracts with the 20 largest college football programs, according to the Portland Business Journal.
- The lavish budget of the companies for college football still pales in comparison to what endorsement deals cost on the professional side.
- Under Armour was the lowest spender of the trio, but its top-sponsored team - the Auburn Tigers - will play in the BCS Championship football game next week to give it some nice exposure.

- Adidas (ADDYY) says it will stick with its 2015 targets of sales of €17B ($23B) and an operating margin of 11%.
- A lackluster Q3 report from the German company which paled to Nike's performance during the same period had raised the issue of its future growth track.
- For 2014, Adidas says sales will grow in a high single-digit pace and operating margin will be improved by a percentage point.

- Alibaba expects to sell 30B renminbi ($5B) worth of goods today in celebration of "Singles Day" in China, which the online giant has managed to turn into by far the world's largest e-commerce discount event, even surpassing Cyber Monday in the U.S.
- Major foreign multinationals have also been participating in the celebration - or lamentation - of "singlehood" by offering notable online bargains, including Nike (NKE), Adidas (ADDDF), Procter & Gamble (PG), Unilever (UL) and Samsung (SSNLF, SSNGY).
- And why is it called singles day? Because November 11, or 11/11, has four 1s, or singles.

- The lackluster Q3 report from Adidas (ADDYY) may say just as much about Nike than the reporting company.
- While Nike (NKE -0.7%) grew sales briskly in the U.S. and Europe, Adidas saw sales fall by more than 5% in both regions.
- Retail analyst Rahul Sharma says Nike has a growing edge on innovation and styling over its German rival.

- Adidas' (ADDDF) Q3 net profit dropped 8.1% to €316M, in line.
- Sales tumbled 7% to €3.88B, also as expected.
- Operating profit dropped 6% to €463M, slightly below forecasts.
- Adidas' earnings were hurt by currency swings, "unexpected short-term distribution constraints" in Russia and the CIS, and poor sales of golf products.
- Q3 also faced tough comparisons with last year, when the Olympics and European soccer championships took place.
- Adidas reiterated that it expects sales to rise by a low single-digit rate in 2013 and that it predicts an operating margin of approximately 8.5%.
- Adidas CEO Herbert Hainer believes that momentum at the sportswear company will return in Q4 and beyond, especially with the FIFA World Cup set to take place in the summer of next year. (PR)

- A new survey from Adobe Systems indicates the shorter period between Thanksgiving and Christmas could cost U.S. retailers $1.5B in lost revenue.
- Though the calendar effect is dramatic this year, the convenient excuse which is likely to crop up in Q4 earnings calls masks some structural changes in retail.
- What to watch: Mall traffic is down and promotional activity is higher as e-commerce accounts for a bigger chunk of total retail sales. With teenagers preoccupied with electronics instead of fashion, analysts think activewear could be the hot holiday category.
- Related stocks: Nike (NKE -0.7%), Under Armour (UA -1.6%), Lululemon (LULU +0.7%), Athleta (GPS), Adidas (ADDYY), Gildan Activewear (GSX +8.6%).

- Unlike its competitors, Adidas' offering is a standalone device with its own flash storage for music and will lack smartphone integration, reports The Verge.

- Consumers in China are shifting their preferences to lifestyle brands, according to Credit Suisse.
- The trend is sparked by the younger generation which is eager to wear different styles than their parents.
- Luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton (LVMHF.PK) and Dunhill could suffer as the lifestyle brands gain relevance and the high-end premium trims.
- Tapped for success in China: Adidas (ADDYY.PK), Lululemon (LULU), Ralph Lauren (RL), Wolverine Worldwide (WWW), VF Corporation (VFC).

Overthere is a Java library to manipulate files and execute processes on remote hosts, i.e. do stuff "over there". It was built for and is used in the XebiaLabs deployment automation product Deployit as a way to perform tasks on remote hosts, e.g. copy configuration files, install EAR files, or restart Web servers. Another way of looking at it is to say that Overthere gives you java.io.File and java.lang.Process as they should have been: as interfaces, created by a factory and extensible through an SPI mechanism.
PirateWall is a simple Twitter Client. It displays search results for a certain keyword or hashtag in realtime in a shell-based environment. It can also be configured to act as a data provider for many different visualization tools. For example, it is possible to use the client as a text generator for many XScreensaver applications like "apple2" or "starwars". When used in a Unix shell environment, colorized output can be generated.
uimaFIT provides Java annotations for describing UIMA components which can be used to directly describe the UIMA components in Java code without the need for traditional UIMA XML descriptors. This greatly simplifies refactoring a component definition (e.g., changing a configuration parameter name). uimaFIT also makes it easy to instantiate UIMA components without using XML descriptor files by providing convenient factory methods. This makes uimaFIT an ideal library for testing UIMA components because the component can be easily instantiated and invoked without requiring a descriptor file to be created first. uimaFIT is very useful in research environments in which programmatic/dynamic instantiation of UIMA pipelines can simplify experimentation. For example, when performing 10-fold cross-validation across a number of experimental conditions, it can be quite laborious to create a different set of descriptor files for each run, or even a script which generates such descriptor files. uimaFIT is type system agnostic and does not depend on (or provide) a specific type system. This project has been superseded by the Apache uimaFIT project.
Evo Class Index is an annotation processor that at compile-time generates an index of classes implementing a given interface, classes annotated by given annotation, or placed in a common package. Its small run-time performance impact makes it an interesting alternative to any annotation scanning library like Reflections or Scannotations. The generated indexes are compatible with the ServiceLoader framework, so you will never need to create the files in META-INF/services by hand.
RCSSmin is a CSS minifier. The implementation is based on the semantics of the YUI compressor, but aiming for speed instead of maximum compression so that it can be used at runtime rather than during a preprocessing step. rCSSmin does syntactical compression only (removing spaces, comments, and possibly semicolons). It does not provide semantic compression (like removing empty blocks, collapsing redundant properties etc). It does, however, support various CSS hacks (by keeping them working as intended).
QuickDic parses data from en.wiktionary.org and Beolingus to generate dictionary files that can be used offline. It currently has built-in dictionaries from English to: German (Deutsch - Englisch), Italian (inglese - italiano), Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Chinese|Mandarin|Cantonese, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Greek, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Malay, Maori, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Slovak, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tajik, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yiddish, and Zulu.
tools4j-config supports long-running enterprise Java applications with a framework for handling configuration changes without restarting. It also aids in developing applications which are decoupled from knowing how and where to store, retrieve, and validate configurations. The aim is to liberate applications to use configurations seamlessly on the terms of their particular environment, without constraining them to Java SE, EE, OSGi, Spring, CDI, or any other programming model or framework.
The Geomajas API project contains some annotations that can be used to indicate which parts (which classes and which (public) methods or fields) are considered as the API. This is particularly useful for projects where you want to mark the API without the need to refactor everything to interfaces and factories.

Dinner's on Bieber! Dubai's favorite superstar always picks up the bill on date night
Justin Bieber would lose his "masculinity" if a girl took him out.
The 19-year-old singer - who is believed to have reunited with on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez - thinks he is a "romantic" person and believes it is a guy's responsibility to create gestures of love in a relationship.
He said: "I think it's up to the guy to be romantic. I think it's the guy's responsibility to take her out. It can't be the other way around. That would take away my masculinity; I feel if that would happen.
"I think that the most romantic things to do for someone are the things that you spend time on. Like having a picnic where you bring all the stuff they like. You make it something that she's going to remember so she can tell all of her friends. Stuff she can say, 'He did this for me!' That's great.
The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker thinks being brought up by his mother Pattie Mallette made him more of a "sensitive" person, but he isn't sure that is always a good thing.
He told Gulf News newspaper: "Sensitive and romantic ... I guess I grew up with my mum, so she influenced me a lot, so growing up and having your mum always around you, you become a sensitive guy. So I think there's ups and downs to it."

POST-MARTY PARTY: Grand Plan Canned
"Running The Camp" – Back against the wall, Marty concocts a plan to flush out NaOnka's Hidden Immunity Idol and vote off Jane. But the self-proclaimed leaders in the game – Brenda and Sash – would have to play along for it to work.

Climbing writer and photographer who has travelled to crags near and far for 35+ years. Started out climbing at school with friends and survived (just!) a very traditional learning curve on the sea cliffs and inland crags of Devon. Left Devon for the North and lived between the Peak and Dales before moving on to the Lakes for work where I was based for around 20 years. During the 90's I travelled extensively with my partner at the time Emma, spending 1995 to 2000 in a van in the States, Canada, Europe, OZ and New Zealand. The last decade has been a transient one hopping between the Lakes, N.Wales, Devon and Lancs, with trips away mainly on guidebook (Rockfax) work or for articles to places such as Sardinia, Finale, Ceuse, El Chorro, Lofoten, Mallorca, Germany and Turkey. After all this travelling I have come to the conclusion that the UK is the best place for the all rounder - pubs, little travelling, proper seasons, a vibrant scene, good guidebooks, mags and websites, and cheap to get to other countries when the urge arises, oh and loads of different rock and scenery.

Location Lancs
Best Climbing Experience Having climbed since I was a young teen there have been a lot of standout days on the hill, but the most memorable have been with friends, sometimes going-for-it and many others just enjoying the climbs, laughs, banter and scenery. The best - possibly a long day on Bosigran followed by Cider at The Meadery and the next day baking on the beach.

About My Photography My photography started in earnest very late on in my climbing career spurred on by a chance encounter whilst modeling in Yosemite! I am far from being the greatest climbing writer and photographer but what I do try to do is produce guides and articles that I would have liked to have bought before I went. I often get asked about all things to do with climbing photography and one of the things that I tell people is that to get the shots it is about 30% technical and 70% effort, plus a bit of luck. A quick look through the profile and galleries here on UKC illustrates this well when kit possessed and images produced are compared.
