Meghan Brodie will direct an Actors' Lab staged reading of Hughes' 1983 play that borrows from the title of Radclyffe Hall's controversial 1928 novel, "The Well of Loneliness." Hughes' take on the modern lesbian, however, could not be more different than Hall's. This is the naughty side of noir.

Under attack by Democratic opponents for their opposition to abortion, two Republican congressional candidates in Colorado are airing ads designed to appeal to women. The ads are signs, a political analyst says, that the Democrats' focus on women's issues is effective.
In a matter of days, five of Texas' eight legal abortion providers will operate under the Planned Parenthood banner, a special irony in light of state lawmakers' professed hatred for the provider.
August 26 was Women's Equality Day. But true to the spirit of Moral Mondays leader Rev. William Barber's "moral fusion movement," the discussion of "women's issues" wasn't limited to abortion or birth control.
The lawsuits challenging the contraception benefit in the Affordable Care Act are less about birth control and more about a larger strategy to use the First Amendment to challenge government regulatory power.
The policy changes proposed by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services would, among other things, increase Medicaid funding for health-care providers to provide birth control for women patients as well as vasectomies for men.
The Obama administration announced another change to the religious accommodation to the birth control benefit, and predictably conservatives hate it.
Jeff Gorell (R-CA), a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in California's 26th District, recently stonewalled someone with a camera asking Gorell his opinions on the Hobby Lobby decision.
With the release of yet another set of interim final regulations on Friday, the Obama administration has ostensibly provided another option for eligible organizations to avail themselves of the birth control accommodation. But in reality, what the administration has done is shot itself in the foot—again.
The controversy resurfaced last week when Washingtonian.com reported that Washington, D.C.'s Department of Health had similar trouble with posting condom ads to Twitter.
Instead of notifying insurers of their objections, religiously affiliated nonprofits will now file their objection directly with the Department of Health and Human Services.

Jimmy Corrigan has rightly been hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever to be published. It won the Guardian First Book Award 2001, the first graphic novel to win a major British literary prize. It is the tragic autobiography of an office dogsbody in Chicago who one day meets the father who abandoned him as a child. With a subtle, complex and moving story and the drawings that are as simple and original as they are strikingly beautiful, Jimmy Corrigan is a book unlike any other and certainly not to be missed.

Of course they were not mentioned. Toriko is just too recent to count, and Dragonball is Toei's eternal cash cow, especially from overseas. The report highlighted new releases or franchises that are rising in popularity.

Wasn't the issue Yamakan was talking about, was who got the cuts from the merchandise. Studios traditionaly only get the dvd/BD royalties, with the potentialy more valuable rights often going to other production comitee members. He was talking about studios trying to get some chara goods rights (like Toei has anyway).

Posts: 311
Location: Neo Venezia
I have no idea myself, but I've heard some people say a license can range from $10,000 - $1,000,000 (though I've also heard it's a closely guarded trade secret ) . The price will probably change depending on the situation, like what series is being licensed, the studio that owns the series, the current state of the market, the demographics of the region it's being licensed for, and how well negotiations go. You'd probably have to have an established company with a good reputation, and have experienced reps to negotiate the license.
If you want to ask people in the industry, you could probably send a question to the "Ask John" letters section at AnimeNation, I think they licensed a series once (RiskySafety iirc) so they'd probably have a good idea. That Robert fellow from Roberts Anime Corner also might know, he's pretty experienced in the industry, you could probably ask on his blog. Or you might be able to ask AnimEigo too, I heard they're pretty cool/approachable anime fans.

Week 13 Best Bets – The FootballScoop Staff weighs in
Somehow we never published our Best Bets article from last week, but let's just assume our bets were all fantastic as always.
This season: Scott (4-6-1), Doug (4-7), Zach (6-4-1)
I like Minnesota plus 10.5 at Nebraska. Jerry Kill's team is so well coached I simply can't see them getting blown out in Lincoln. Nebraska, with losses to Wisconsin and Michigan State, might not give everything the way they would if they were playing to get into the playoff. I just don't see Bo blowing Jerry Kill's team out…and I wouldn't be surprised if the Gophers found a way to win at the end.
I don't know how Baylor is only a 28.5-point favorite, but I'll take it. I fully expect the Bears to hit the 55-point mark in their College Football Playoff beauty pageant, and Oklahoma State has had major quarterback and offensive line issues this season. Not a good mix for the Cowboys.
Let me make this clear; I don't think that the Hoosiers have enough in them to knock off the Buckeyes. However, with the spread at +34 for the Hoosiers, I think they'll be able to cover on the legs of running back Tevin Coleman.
Week 13 Upset Picks – The FootballScoop staff weighs in
Two weeks ago marked our best week of the season, hitting two of three, and last week was our worst. Scott missed on Mississippi State over Alabama, while Doug and Zach whiffed mightily on Georgia Southern over Navy and Kentucky over Tennessee.
This season: Scott (4-8), Doug (5-7), Zach (4-8)
I like Air Force (a 6-point dog) to upset San Diego State. Air Force has been playing very well of late, winning their last four. San Diego State got beat up a bit at Boise last weekend. Combine that with a tough-to-prepare-for offense in Air Force, and I think this is a Falcons win.
My gut tells me that Arizona (a four-point underdog) is just too talented to lose this one. My gut is also the one that picked Texas A&M over Alabama (0-59) and Georgia Southern over Navy (19-52) so take that for what it's worth.
It's time to ride the lightning, baby. Arkansas has played above its record the entire season – and Vegas recognizes that, installing the Hogs as just a 2.5-point dog. Ole Miss had last week off, but I like the momentum Arkansas gained from last week's at-long-last win over LSU to carry over into this week.
How do you send your Seniors off after their last practice?
Think back to your last football practice as a high school (or college) senior. Chances are, if your coaches did something special for it, you remember just as clearly as you remember your wedding day, or the birth of your first child.
That last day with your staff and teammates holds a special place for a very long time.
With CollegeGameday out East for the Harvard-Yale game, Chris Fowler caught a rare glimpse of Harvard's tradition for their Seniors as they take their last lap. Fowler then tweeted a picture of the special night.
Harvard's "Final Lap": SRs share words, hugs, tears w/underclassmen after last practice. Awesome to see pic.twitter.com/0KUpKa30wP
— Chris Fowler (@cbfowler) November 21, 2014
That got us to thinking about the different approaches around the country for seniors on their last day. How do you send off your seniors? Do you have a "final lap" for the seniors as well, where they take their time around the field one last time before shaking hands/hugging all the underclassmen with a word or two of advice? Or maybe you have underclassmen carry the seniors off the field on their shoulders after the last practice? Or do you do something completely different that you'd like to share with the coaching community? If you're in the playoffs, and you never know when your last practice is, how do you approach a senior sendoff? Share your approach in the comments below, or share via Twitter with me @CoachSamz and I'll update the article with the various approaches.
@CoachSamz @FootballScoop #SeniorWalk, underclassmen carry Seniors from game field to locker room. Good #tradition.
— Hal Bennett (@CoachBennett55) November 21, 2014
@CoachSamz @FootballScoop @WCUAthletics FB the last day of two a days the seniors get carried up the hill by all the underclassmen! #bigtime
— Ryan Costello (@TrappleberryFin) November 21, 2014
@CoachSamz ill never forget walking the line. Similar to the last lap. Line underclassman up on 50 seniors walk and talk to each one

The Raiders saved themselves from the most embarrassing penalty of the year last night
The Oakland Raiders snapped their 16-game losing streak last night with a 24-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, but it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows in Oakland.
There was also the play you'll see below, which would have easily gone down as the most embarrassing penalty of the NFL or college football season, if it weren't for some quick thinking from a veteran player.
After registering a big sack with just under 30 seconds left in regulation, Sio Moore and Khalil Mack decided to celebrate a sack by running 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage. The Chiefs went no huddle to snap the ball, but Justin Tuck made the heads up decision to call a timeout, bailing his teammates out from the most embarrassing penalty of the year.
Use this moment as a reminder to coach your guys up on composure, and game situations so you don't end up a YouTube of Vine sensation for all the wrong reasons.
Chip Kelly and no huddle coaches everywhere were smiling from ear to ear when they saw this one go down last night.
Sio Moore/Khalil Mack celebrate BIG sack. And keep celebrating. And keep celebrating. And keep celebrating… http://t.co/lFyfJfxfVB

Communicating early and often with your child's teacher is an important aspect of ensuring your child has the best possible education. Yet, sometimes parent-teacher conferences can be stressful for a variety of factors. In this article we provide a how-to guide for making the most out of your parent-teacher conference experience.
The Common Core State Standards were developed as a means to prepare K-12 students for success in college or the workforce upon graduation from high school. Since their inception, they have been adopted by 43 states. While much support has been given for the standards, many criticisms have emerged as well.
Increasing birth rates among immigrant families from Asia and Central and South America, combined with lower birth rates among white families, means that for the first time in history, public school students in the United States are majority-minority. This shift in demographics poses difficulties for schools as they work to accommodate children of varying language abilities and socio-economic backgrounds.

This is not investigative reporting. It is an old-fashioned witch hunt. Relying on unsupported allegations, you have cost an individual his job. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Well, Menlo Park School District hired Mountain View ex-Superintendent Ghysels, so I think that only proves how useless background checks are.

And Mountain View has teachers at Graham Middle School who don't even hold credentials. So it makes you wonder how thorough schools are in looking into the backgrounds of employees.
a resident of Cuesta Park
on Apr 11, 2012 at 9:20 pm
When will the Superintendent do something about the fact that some teachers in our district do not have the proper credentials to be teaching in our schools? Our district has claimed it is mandatory and yet, there have been some without the credentials teaching for years at Graham. Some teachers are held to the standards and some not. Why the double standard?

Putting this particular case aside for one moment, is really the *accusation* of a crime enough to bar a person from work? That seems to run counter to our legal system.

" is really the *accusation* of a crime enough to bar a person from work?"
It's not. This 'news' article is a "straw man" argument (using an irrelevant case to argue a point) - which is poor reporting.

Eagles cheerleaders join Rockin the Thunder
Written by SHAUN SMITH Tuesday, July 02, 2013 11:00 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
VENTNOR ŌĆō The Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders will join Rockin the Thunder Thursday, July 4 at Cambridge Avenue beach.
The cheerleaders will drop in on the event sponsored by the Ventnor Tourism Association noon-1:30 p.m. Thursday, July 4. In May, they were photographed for scenes for the latest edition of the Philadelphia Eagles swimsuit calendar in Ventnor and proceeds from the calendar will benefit the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund.
Michael Einwechter, director of the association, said the event is adding an unloading zone on the beach block around the pier so people can unload their beach gear and find street parking or a spot at St. James Church on Newport Avenue. There are municipal parking lots at Newport Avenue beach block, Newport Avenue across from St. James Memorial Hall and Suffolk Avenue beach block.
The event will also add a timed race through more than 100 tires along the beach, he said.
The music festival begins at 10 a.m. with Nikki Davis performing the national anthem and then starting off the first set of the day.
Other bands include the Goons at 11:15 a.m., Ventnor resident Bob Sterling and his band at 1 p.m., Kenny Young Band at 3 p.m., Margate resident Mia Bergmann at 4:30 p.m., Williamsboy & Co. at 6 p.m. and Turning Point Band will perform at 8 p.m.
There will be fun for the whole family beginning at 11 a.m. with a tug-of-war underneath the Ventnor Municipal Fishing Pier.
Competitors will have their choice between blueberry, apple or cherry pie in the ŌĆ£American PieŌĆØ eating contest at 12:30 p.m. Judges will pick the best swimsuit and award Miss Rockin the Thunder in a competition beginning at 2 p.m.
At 3:30 p.m. couples will set off in a scramble race from the boardwalk to a spot near the water and set up for a day at the beach. The winning couple will receive a gift certificate to a restaurant in Ventnor.
The Ventnor Tourism Association is giving away a Charbroil grill courtesy of Schallus and Sons Construction through a Facebook contest. To enter, share ŌĆ£RockinŌĆÖ the Thunder giveawayŌĆØ post on the Ventnor Tourism Facebook page. The winner can use the grill on Thursday since Ventnor permits barbecuing on the beach July 4-7.
Rockin the Thunder also includes face painting, caricatures and stand-up paddle boarding lessons courtesy of Tom Forkin of AC Surf School. New Jersey Hope and Healing and other organizations will have representatives at the event.
At 9 p.m. fireworks launching from Margate and Atlantic City will be visible from the Ventnor beach.

Meet the faces of the not-so-frugal Marlins this Saturday, Feb.13, at Marlins FanFest at Sun Life Stadium.
You'll get autographs from some of the players and coaches (yes, manager Fredi Gonzalez and players Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla are still here), a chance to pick out your seat if you want to spend money on season tickets (you're probably one of three), and a Q&A with some of the head honchos - maybe you can ask team President David Samson why he was so vocal in not wanting to improve the team -er, re-sign pitcher Josh Johnson for a 4-year deal (don't worry, higher brass kept the big righty in house).

Who Went Home on the Sixth Week of 'Dancing with the Stars'? [SPOILER, VIDEO]
We saw plenty of theatrics on Monday's Broadway-themed performance show. So which of the seven couples took its final curtain-call?
We saw plenty of theatrics on Monday's Broadway-themed performance show. So which of the seven couples took its final curtain-call?
It was 80s music night on 'Dancing with the Stars,' one of the only reality shows where many of the contestants are actually old enough to remember the 1980s. Yay!
The show kicked off with a live performance from The Bangles, which got everyone walking like an Egyptian and set the stage for the eight remaining couples to boogie to tunes from the decade of decadence.
Here are some hig
Nine couples were left before the last elimination of 'Dancing with the Stars,' and after Monday night's movie-themed performances, would there be any truly surprising endings?
In the second week of this season's Dancing With The Stars, many of the stars managed to improve, while others seemed a bit more sluggish than last week. But, it was Nancy Grace's dance and subsequent wardrobe malfunction that's garnering the most attention this morning.
The night featured quicksteps and jive, which are pretty technically precise and difficult. Nancy Grace and partner Tristan MacManus did a pretty decent quickstep that highlighted more of Nancy Grace's cleavage than I ever wanted to see - and that was before the wardrobe malfunction.
"Dancing With The Stars" is one of those shows that I guiltily love to watch.
It can be such a train wreck at the beginning, but by the end, the celebs that are left look like polished professionals!
So, the cast of the new season has been revealed, and let me tell you, it should be quite an interesting season!
If your fingers are tired this morning -- I'm so with you!
Last night turned out to be yet another television filled evening of entertainment ranging from final performances by Scotty and Lauren on American Idol, the third elimination round of four for The Voice peppered in between scenes of NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles. Of course, the most important of all was finding out which couple would be named the new champs of Dancing with the Stars and who would take home $250,000 for shedding the most pounds during The Biggest Loser!
Are you sad or glad?
Ralph Macchio was officially kicked out of the 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 competition last night, ending a somewhat rocky road (with his knee injury) to the semifinals.
I just loved him! Especially after watching his strong and heartfelt debut performances.
In his good-byes last night, Macchio said, "I will never forget how the fans have driven us through every week," he said. "It inspired me. I would run here every Monday for us to present what we worked on."
Karina Smirnoff ended Monday night's episode of 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 on a bit of a low note, when the 33-year-old beauty fell in the middle of the ballroom floor.
The tumble happened near the beginning of her Paso Doble routine, when she accidentally slipped on partner Ralph Macchio's coat.
Luckily, the pair recover nicely -- enough to receive a score of 24 out of 30 from the judges. Even better, it wasn't even the lowest score of the night.
The cast of 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 showed their American pride this week, as each couple performed routines that honored our nation's stars and stripes.
With the competition now at the halfway mark, the stakes have been raised, and each contestant must bring their A-game if they want to have any hope of moving one quickstep closer to the mirror ball trophy.
So who actually made the grade tonight?
After the jump, relive the three most memorable moments from week 5's performance night.
Poor Kirstie Alley. Just one week after she fell on the 'Dancing With the Stars' ballroom floor, the Emmy-winning actress suffered another unfortunate mishap.
In this case, it was her shoe that fell (off). Midway through her routine last night, a noticeably embarrassed Alley remained seated on the floor for a few moments while she put herself back together again.
Luckily, the performance hiccup didn't deter her too much. As was the case last week, Alley got right back on her feet and finished her performance with grace and style -- not to mention a solid score of 22.
Were you as impressed as I was with how well both Kirstie Alley ... who divulged her nickname is 'G' for grandma ... and Karate Kid Ralph Macchio danced last night on the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars?
I know Wendy Reed posted her top four highlights, but I couldn't resist airing my thoughts! Reality shows aren't necessarily what I dig as much as learning more about a person's heart.
Ralph said that he may look young, but is working with a 49-year old body and Kirstie said that she is 60 ... what??? I know that Kirstie has had her ups-and-downs, but neither of them look their age, don't you agree??
'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 premiered tonight, and while it lacked the headline power of Kate Gosselin and Bristol Palin, there were plenty of memorable moments that will have everyone talking at the post-show watercooler. Here are the four that stood out the most:
1.) A Star Is Reborn
Ralph Macchio may not be the most famous member of the season 12 cast, but the 'Karate Kid' star definitely made a name for himself tonight with a show-stopping foxtrot. The routine earned Macchio and partner Karina Smirnoff the highest score of the night (24), and set the bar high for the rest of the season. After tonight, Macchio moved one quick step closer to the Mirror Ball Trophy.

Feadship launch 78m 'Venus'
By Ellie Brade | Other articles by this author
Feadship has launched 78m Venus (Hull 684).
Whilst the yard has not made any comment on this highly confidential project, suffice to say she is set to receive much media
attention, having been built for Steve Jobs.
The launch of the yacht has been much anticipated, having been referred to in the following excerpt from Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson (published by Simon & Schuster in 2011) :
"As expected, the planned yacht was sleek and minimalist. The teak decks were perfectly flat and unblemished by any accoutrements. As at an Apple store, the cabin windows were large panes, almost floor to ceiling, and the main living area was designed to have walls of glass that were forty feet long and ten feet high. He had gotten the chief engineer of the Apple stores to design a special glass that was able to provide structural support. By then the boat was under construction by the Dutch custom yacht builders Feadship, but Jobs was still fiddling with the design. "I know that it's possible I will die and leave Laurene with a half-built boat," he said. "But I have to keep going on it. If I don't, it's an admission that I'm about to die."
We hope to cover this unique build in more detail as information is released. For more on the design of Venus go to our sister site SuperyachtDesign.com

Welcome to "Kannenbackerland"
Kannenbackerland is an area in Germany known as the original German beer stein producer. Authenticity is important to us, which is why you'll find that many of our steins are handmade in Germany with centuries old designs that inspire nostalgia for many of our customers.
For the Mantle
Not all Beer Steins are made for drinking, some are made for decorative purposes. The world's largest beer stein can hold more than 30 liters of beer, stands at more than 4 feet in height and weighs more than 35 pounds. While it is impressive, it isn't the easiest Beer Stein to drink from.
Lids keep your Beer Fresh
It is believed by some that the lid was implemented during the Black Plague to prevent disease from getting into beer. Several of the steins we sell come with traditional pewter lids designed to keep your beer fresh and free of debris. Prost!
Family Tradition
Beer steins are often passed down from generation to generation. Families can do this because, for centuries, these ceramic steins have been handmade to last in the Westerwald region in Germany, by some of the world's best potters. The designs on almost all of our steins have antique origins.
German Tradition in your Home!
There's no need to travel to Germany just to find the perfect traditional German stein. We stock the largest and most complete selection of traditional ceramic German steins available from top brands like King Werks, Zoller and Born and Thewalt. No matter what style of stein you are looking for, you are sure to find it right here!
Its all about Selection:
We have nearly 200 King-Werks Traditional Steins and over 150 Zoeller & Born's Traditional Steins. The numbers don't lie, we have the largest selection of authentic Traditional German Beer Steins in the United States.
You want 'em, we got 'em
Looking for the official beer steins of Oktoberfest Munchen? You're in luck! We stock the official stone beer steins imported directly from the German manufacturers. These are the official collector steins featuring the artwork from the official Oktoberfest poster.
The official logo
Each year, Oktoberfest Munchen runs a contest to create the official logo for Oktoberfest. The winner's logo design is then used on all kinds of merchandise: t-shirts, mugs, steins, hats, umbrellas, posters, etc.
Missing a year?
We have the Official Oktoberfest stein from the last several years in two models, with or without the pewter lid. They're great Oktoberfest souvenirs, even if you didn't make it to Oktoberfest in person.

Eating well. Between rushing out the door in the morning, that tempting doughnut in the break room at work, and the quick snack before getting the afternoon work out in, it can be hard! How many of us really take the time and energy to plan every meal? Even those that make it to the farmer's market twice per week and pack a great lunch most every day might find themselves getting the Blue Box Blues (TM) every now and then. So, how can these depressing meals be made just a little better? How about throwing in a little something extra that happens to be nutrient dense! Between quinoa, kale, or various seeds, there is always something that can be thrown in. They've all become popular ingredients for packaged health foods but you don't need to throw your money at Kellogg's or the like to get at the good stuff.
QUINOA: You probably know the drill here. It's a grain with complete protein, fiber, and micronutrients. It cooks well in a rice cooker and can then be kept in the refrigerator for an extended period of time. This is a great lunch and dinner "throw in". Put it in a salad, in a taco, on a sandwich, or on a pizza. Or throw in some siracha and eat it as a stand alone. Quinoa is a bit expensive at the moment but with increased domestic production expected, prices should come down in the near future. If you have the time to whip up a recipe, quinoa corn fritters can be made exclusively with items that don't "go bad" and can be stocked in your kitchen (OK, OK, onions are kinda sorta perishable but you can leave the chives out and you won't miss them too much).
KALE: You've likely seen this one around as well. But why? It's because it shares the top spot on the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) with Swiss chard and watercress. However, kale isn't too tough to eat raw like Swiss chard and is easier to grow, and therefore easier to buy, than watercress. It also has a much longer storage life as kale will last in the fridge up to two weeks while its rivals only last a few days. So, we've got raw kale sitting in the fridge, now what do we do with it? It can be thrown in a smoothie, a salad, a taco, a sandwich, a rice bowl. My personal favorite quick snack is pita with hummus and kale. When rolled up, it can even be put in a jersey pocket!
SEEDS: You've got a food item that could use a nutritional boost? Chances are there is a seed that will match it well and will add some nutritional value. Generally, seeds have an array of micronutrients, good fats, good protein, and some fiber. Chia seeds get along with many breakfast items including oatmeal, yogurt, and cereal. Sesame seeds go along well with asian noodles and sunflower seeds, likewise, with Italian pastas. You can even add those sunflower seeds to the "Italian pasta" coming from that blue box!
Eating Well presented by Mayur Kabab House is a monthly post that talks about awesome recipes, alternative foods, and some great ways to cook. This month's installment is from Andrew Shelby.

Everyone involved in the 2009 bailout of Chrysler by the US government and Fiat knew that at some point there would be a vestigial mess to clean up even after the two parties, with the United Auto Workers, rescued the company financially and set the stage for the four-year sales boom and brand revival that the Detroit automaker has enjoyed.
Welcome to that mess. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is trying to wrap up the four-year transformation of Chrysler by taking control of the last part of the company that is controlled by the UAW because of the concessions that it and its members made to help keep Chrysler alive four years ago. But he's got to get the union to give up that stake at an optimum price for Fiat, and he's having trouble doing that right now.
Marchionne is saying that he's planning an IPO for Chrysler soon, which would place a market value on Chrysler stock that he says is being overvalued by the union. Presumably that would help wrap things up, but perhaps at a price that Marchionne deems too high. So he has threatened for Fiat to back away from its increasing entanglement with Chrysler.Continue reading...

Can't spare a square? Swiss Chocolate brand Milka is using 13 million chocolate bars to promote a "Dare To Be Tender" campaign in France and Germany—the brand's largest markets. But the campaign hopes to give back by taking away—a square of chocolate, that is.
Created by Paris-based ad agency Buzzman, the campaign, which removes one square of chocolate from the traditional Milka bar, required an alteration to the entire manufacturing process. Each bar's packaging contains a special code that can be entered on a microsite where consumers can choose from two options: request the missing square for themselves, or enter a note and address for a recipient who will recieve the "last square" in the mail.Continue reading...

Walmart, Gap and other US retailers met yesterday in Chicago to implement their controversial, independent Bangladesh factory safety plan that was created after multiple factory accidents, including the Rana Plaza collapse in April that claimed more than 1,100 workers, spurred global outrage.
20 US retailers including Macy's and Target, as well as new signatories Costco, Intradeco Apparel and Jordache Enterprises make up the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety. The group, which formed a separate safety plan from the European retailer-dominated Accord on Bangladesh Building and Fire Safety, has pledged to have safety standards in place by Sept. 10, and has reportedly already dispursed $45 million in funds in part to hire safety inspection staff in Bangladesh.
The five-year, voluntary plan agrees to train workers and inspect factories while requiring Bangladesh factory owners to pay for safety renovations, though the Alliance will provide $100 million in low-cost loans.
The plan has come under fire due to its non-binding nature—an attribute that was top-of-mind in the European-based agreement, which was signed by over 70 global retailers including H&M, Inditex and Primark.Continue reading...

health fallout

Kanebo's voluntary recall across Asia of its skin-whitening product range in early July was a wakeup call for consumers as well as the skin lightening industry. Kanebo, the second largest cosmetics company in Japan after giant Shiseido, sells products in over 50 countries across Asia, Europe, and the US, with its whitening products comprising nearly 30 percent of its skincare range.
Nearly two months before its July 4 recall, a clinic reported to Kanebo that three patients had complained of skin damage following use of a Kanebo whitening product. The company withheld the information for over a month before notifying the government and issuing a recall, a move that garnered worldwide criticism. The products, which gradually lighten the skin, are a part of a $13 billion industry in Asia alone, where fair skin has long been associated with an elevated social class.Continue reading...

The whole branding industry may be for naught in North America. According to the new Nielsen Global Survey of Consumer Shopping Behavior, those residing in North America and Europe are much more concerned about the pricing of a product than its brand. Meanwhile, consumers in the Asia and Asia Pacific regions are impulsive, brand-centric shoppers, while those in the Middle East and Africa tend to consult industry experts for advice on the most famous brands.Continue reading...

On Thursday, the Obama Administration announced that it would be suspending trade privileges extended to Bangladesh as a result of the country's neglect of worker's rights.
"I have determined that it is appropriate to suspend Bangladesh's designation… because it is not taking steps to afford internationally recognized worker rights to workers in the country," President Obama wrote in a message to Congress. The decision, regarded widely as a stern warning to the nation, will effectively end special tax breaks on exports to the US that are meant to help developing economies.
The decision was partially motivated by April's Rana Plaza building collapse, which killed over 1,100 garment factory workers as well as the Tazreen factory fire in late 2012 that killed over 100 workers.Continue reading...

As the world looks to every corner for solutions to growing dissatisfaction with the economy and governance in general, Nestlé, the world's largest food company, has plans to recruit 20,000 young Europeans to help deal with youth unemployment and waning consumer confidence.
"Governments cannot solve the problem alone," said Laurent Freixe, Nestlé's Europe boss, according to Reuters. "In the context where Europe is ageing and indebted, Europe needs its youth at work. We need to replace the generation of the baby boomers when they retire."
With nearly 5.6 million young people officially unemployed in the EU and the youth jobless rate at 23 percent, the plan is to offer jobs to 10,000 people under the age of 30 by 2016 and create an additional 10,000 "traineeships and apprentice positions" while urging its 63,000 suppliers to follow suit.Continue reading...

The streaming race between Netflix and Amazon is neck and neck again as both service providers have inked new streaming deals for in-demand programming.
The news comes just a week after Netflix suffered a blow as it relinquished its deal with Viacom and saw Amazon quickly scoop up its rights to popular kids programming like Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues and others. But now, Netflix is back on the horse thanks to a new deal with DreamWorks.
The long-in-the-making deal with DreamWorks Animation will supply Netflix with 300 hours of original programming inspired by much-loved DreamWorks characters like Shrek and The Croods, as well as series featuring Casper the Friendly Ghost and Lassie, which DreamWorks has rights to through its purchase of Classic Media.Continue reading...
