So exactly how do you kick start a DevOps strategy? For example, say your organization is tied down to a very sequential, but cumbersome Waterfall approach to software development that is wasting precious dollars and hindering productivity? In the following we've outlined some strategy tips that every business leader will need to consider as they start down the path of DevOps adoption.
Get Executive Buy-In
Whatever steps your organization takes on the DevOps path of rolling out software faster and more effectively and deployment will require the support of your senior level management team. Explain the advantages of DevOps to the executive team in terms that they can easily understand. Provide an outline of how DevOps and cloud computing can save on ROI and get your new mobile application into the hands of the customer faster and more effectively with higher quality.
Bring together business owners of Development and Operations together and setup a demonstration of some cloud-based testing and automation tools that can show cost savings. This can and probably should involve a series of meetings. Create several weekly lunch and learns for the executive team. Be creative but ensure that the message gets across that DevOps is about saving the organization time and money!
Build a DevOps RoadMap
In order to implement DevOps effectively, you'll need to organize your strategy and outline the scope and approach. In the process, ask yourself what is the endgame, what do you want to achieve in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years? Obviously, you want to produce higher quality products and services faster and more efficiently, but you'll need to wrap some context around that. To monitor your progress on the path to DevOps, pay attention to these KPIs:
- Time to set up an environment
- Time from change request to release
- Number of deployments per week or month
- Mean time to resolution
As you organize your roadmap document, keep an eye on use cases of what other organizations have done. Also keep in mind that your roadmap is going to relate to people, process, and technology working in unison and harmony. It's meant to be a dynamic document, not a static one written in stone. Keep it updated and iterate often as you and your team develop new insights.
Transforming the Culture
DevOps is not just about technology but it's about people and process. It's about effective collaboration and communication across the organization. All of this gets at the importance of culture and cultural practices. Old habits die hard and if your organization is steeped in long-standing, traditional enterprise approaches to software development, then moving the needle on efficiency will obviously take longer.
As one source has well said, "You can't directly change culture. But you can change behavior, and behavior becomes culture." Start by creating an environment in which innovation and brainstorming are welcomed practices. Reward people for their ideas. Host a monthly innovation contest by providing a free lunch or $50 gift certificate to whoever finds the best solution to a manual, time-consuming process.
Automate, Automate, Automate!
The benefit of automating the testing and deployment process hardly needs explanation. With just a few clicks a continuous integration tool will run a series of unit tests, deploy the code to a new server, and then carry out a series of integration tests. The obvious takeaway is that continuous integration automation reduces cost and increases efficiency so that developers can spend their time writing code instead of tracking and fixing bugs.
Developing the ability to automate an organization's infrastructure may seem like the most daunting of tasks, and it's at this point that companies usually become their own worst enemy. However, there are a significant number of automation tools on the market now that can help make your build, test, monitoring, and deployment process efficient and effective. A tool like Monitis can give your organization a jump start on your DevOps strategy by providing continual performance, testing, and monitoring updates for your infrastructure.
Realize DevOps takes Time
There is no quick fix solution to creating a DevOps environment; it takes time to get key stakeholders onboard and to change policies and practices. Be persistent though and the dividends will pay off!
DevOps is an epic transformation in the world of IT that is creating a host of new opportunities for businesses to become more agile and efficient in the delivery of their products and services. If followed through, the foregoing strategies can dramatically save your organization significant amounts of time and money while boosting efficiency at all levels. The DevOps train is leaving the station, but it's not too late to get onboard. Get started today to see the differences DevOps can make in the level and quality of your business practices.
DevOps: Disruptive but Essential in a Cloud Computing Universe
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
The DevOps Summit at Cloud Expo--to be held November 4-6 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in the heart of Silicon Valley--will expand the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike. Recent research has shown that DevOps dramatically reduces development time, the amount of enterprise IT professionals put out fires, and support time generally. Time spent on infrastructure development is significantly increased, and DevOps practitioners report more software releases and higher quality.
DevOps Summit content doubled from a single track in New York to two simultaneous tracks: "Dev" Developer Focus and "Ops" Operations Focus.
Join DevOps Summit Chair Andi Mann and Host Alan Shimel, November 4-6 for three days of intense DevOps discussion and focus.
We'll see you in Santa Clara! See you in November!

I imagined many moons in the sky lighting the way to freedom.Janelle Monáe Robinson, also known as Janelle Monáe, was born on December 1, 1985 in Kansas City, Kansas. As a child, she had always dreamed of being a performer on the stage. She left Kansas for New York to study theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. At first, Monáe aimed to become a performer on Broadway, but she changed her mind and went to music instead. She felt that music has the power to change the world. Later on, Monáe moved to Atlanta, GA, where she met Big Boi from Outkast and founded the Wondaland Arts Society. Big Boi introduced Monáe to Sean "P Diddy" Combs which led her to be signed to Bad Boy Records in 2006.With a few exceptions, Monáe's songs tell the story of the futuristic dystopia of Metropolis and Cindi Mayweather, a popular musician android and prototype for the equally popular, mass-produced Alpha Platinum 3000 droid model. Cindi falls in love with a human named Anthony Greendown and finds a bounty placed on her head as a result.Discography:

Honeymooning groom in fair condition; other driver faces 5 felonies in fatal Rollinsford crash
The two met a decade ago while working at an amusement park inside the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn.
They did not become romantically involved until the past year.
Initial notification to family members in Minnesota was made by a New Hampshire state trooper who called Brian's parents after getting telephone numbers from his cell phone as the couple was undergoing treatment.
"A week ago they were the model bride and groom and now one is in the hospital and one is dead," he said. "How can you process that; to think that it could change so quickly."
"She had a great smile and she was very articulate," he said. "I remember her making me smile at some of her jokes, but she was not pushy in any way; she was just a sweetheart."
"It was probably the funniest wedding I've been to because it was so relaxed and so personal," Czech said. "Brian and Leah just created this great environment for people."
"When they planned their honeymoon, obviously it was going to be a road trip and they picked Boston," Czech said. "He mentioned to me that on their way out to New England, they were going to stop at a theme park in Ohio, which is kind of a Mecca for theme park enthusiasts."

Some are convinced that the virus is now spread by air citing the 8 technicians that caught Ebola who had no contact with any patients - just cleaned the instruments while wearng protective gear. I think we´ll have to wait and hope that isn´t the case.

Unspeakably stupid. Every person that signed on to this ought to be in jail for criminal negligence. Even if Ebola turns out to be safe, they did not have the proof.The job of the President is to protect the citizens of the United States.

I am shocked by the number of people who don´t seem at all concerned about allowing these people into the country. Even Dana Perino was harshly attacking Eric Boling for voicing his concerns over it. I had to turn that off.Even if they do control the disease and they improve will they ever be allowed out of isolation? At what point are they not contagious? What about their families and spouses, would you want to have intimate contact with them again?? There are way too many questions that need to be answered that are dismissed so casually. And as always, a major crisis and problem has been created by none other than Barack Hussein Obama. He is the Devil incarnate.

I don´t think it´s nothing to worry about and precautions should be taken but I agree there has been too much hysteria. The medical workers who were brought back here were done so under safe, sterile conditions and people should not be screaming about that. They are heroes and they deserve the best in medical care here.As for some of Fumento´s logic, it´s not very strong - just because the SARS epidemic was a nothingburger doesn´t mean Ebola is a nothingburger. It´s much better to use hard facts of the matter than analogies from unrelated epidemics to support one´s argument.

Why are they so nonchalant about this? Suddenly the incompetent government has a handle on what could be the threshold of an Ebola epidemic. Why would we believe anything they say? What could go wrong?
Click Here if you Like this Comment 16 persons like this.
Mr Fumento makes some good points but dances around others. He is playing a numbers game that is somewhat valid but invalid from a policy standpoint.The best defense against death from Ebola in the US is not quality hospital treatment but an attempt to keep it from getting here in the first place. BO´s open borders makes that far less likely.Also, while good care may help prevent death, this is non like a common cold that kills few. Some will die and being one of the few will ruin your day.Also, the doctor that caught it got soaked in blood or vomit? I grant that the conditions in third world countries are poor. If you told me a simple contact could spread it, OK. But even there it should have been avoidable to get a large exposure that is claimed to be needed by this article. Something doesn´t add up.

I worry a lot less about ebola than all the other infectious diseases that come across our unguarded borders every day.

Fumento has a long history of being contrary, he was one of the outspoken critics of "Gorbull warming" early on as well as "Gulf War Syndrome" and mentioned more than once on Rush - two years ago starting writing for Salon and "Broke away from the Extreme Right"another orifice with an opinion

#6makes a good point. The American medical workers who caught the disease knew the risks of what they were treating and weren´t rolling around in blood and vomit. I´m very suspicious of claims that it can´t be caught without deep prolonged exposure. Top doctors are dying in Sierra Leone and Nigeria from this and nobody knows the risks of exposure better than they do. I do think they would have taken precautions. But they still got it.

"This is no ordinary pesto! This is pesto New Mexico style. Recipe comes from Real New Mexico Chile Cookbook by Sandy Szwarc. Hope you enjoy it!"

"This is SO good! I love pesto, and cilantro makes a very special and different pesto. We had it over pasta, but I can see many possibilities with this recipe. You have so many good recipes, PaulaG. Thanks!"
"What a fantastic idea! I got a panini maker for Christmas and tagged this recipe in Zaar tag because I thought it might be good on a roast beef panini with some asiago cheese. I had a difficult time getting cilantro because of a recent freeze here in California. As a result, I only made 1/4th of the recipe (yielded a little over 1 cup). The flavor was absolutely wonderful. I can really see the possibilities. It was great as a dip with tortilla chips (kind of like a flavorful guacamole), the roast beef sandwich was heaven...I even think it would be tasty on pasta or toast triangles. Highly recommended (5 cups would be a lot though!)."

I watched that Haunt Makers video on the creation of Virus Z - and it does look like it'll be pretty cool. She mentioned how at the beginning of the maze there'd be fewer zombies, and as you hurry to the school gym for protection the zombie numbers keep increasing - even to the point where the zombies have taken over the gym. Sounds awesome! I'm hoping we'll feel a sense of urgency and panic in this maze - similar to how I felt during Lockdown last year.
But yeah, I'm excited! Going on the 25th!

Recently, we extolled the triple threat virtues of The Muppets star Jason Segel because he's smart, funny and sexy.
If you weren't convinced then, we now have some extra proof: He can also sing and dance! In this iVillage exclusive clip from The Muppets movie (in theaters Nov. 23), Segel (who also wrote the film) pals around with Walter the Muppet as they dance through town and sing one of the movie's catchy songs, "I've Got Everything That I Need."
After you watch the clip, we promise that it'll not only make you love Jason Segel, but you'll also want to sign our petition to make him Sexiest Man Alive. A celebrity this adorable deserves it!

What is a wag on the final costs?
I guess the question that pops into my head is why do you need a 75 gallon fermenter?
1679.64 is the total price.
Very interesting build. How much did the drum cost?
Can you show us internal weld pics please?
Are the welds polished for sanitary use?
If you plan on going pro, don't make the fermenter the weakest link.

Employment increases to more than 380,000 workers in July, according to BLS data cited by NW&RA.
Employment within the waste management and remediation services industry has reached a record high, according to the National Waste & Recycling Association (NW&RA), citing statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
BLS announced employment of 382,500 workers in the waste industry for July 2014, an increase of 1,200 employees (0.3 percent) from June's numbers. "The BLS data reflect a general improvement in current economic conditions as well as seasonal factors impacting the industry," says Sharon H. Kneiss, president and CEO of the Washington-based NW&RA.
Waste industry employment trends have mirrored national trends this year. Nationally, 209,000 jobs were added in July 2014—the second consecutive month with an increase of 200,000 or more. The U.S. unemployment rate now hovers just above 6 percent; the waste industry's unemployment rate was 3.2 percent in July, which the NW&RA says is near a seven-year low.
According to the NW&RA, the waste management and remediation services category (NAICS 562) includes solid waste collection, hazardous waste collection, other waste collection, hazardous waste treatment and disposal, solid waste landfill, solid waste combustors and incinerators, other nonhazardous waste treatment and disposal, remediation services, material recovery facilities and all other waste management services.
The National Waste & Recycling Association represents the private sector waste and recycling services industry, with member companies that collect and manage garbage, recycling and medical waste, equipment manufacturers and distributors and other service providers.

How to Cook (and Shred) a Pork Shoulder for Pulled Pork
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Pork shoulder is one of my secret weapons in the kitchen. A pork shoulder, slow-cooked and pulling into succulent little shreds, can become a thousand different meals. I can mix in some barbecue sauce and make pulled pork sandwiches or scatter the pork over pizza or toss it into a sauce for pasta. And that's just to start.
Today, I want my secret weapon to become your secret weapon. I'm showing you how to cook a pork shoulder from choosing the meat to transforming it into a fork-tender meal that can last all week.
How To Roast Shrimp in the Oven
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
One of my favorite walk-in-the-door meals is shrimp, roasted until hot and juicy, tossed over a quick bowl of pasta or shredded zucchini. The beautiful thing about shrimp is that, even if you're starting from frozen, they don't take but a few minutes to cook. Here's how to cook shrimp quickly and easily in the oven — such a treat!
How To Clean the Refrigerator
Cleaning Lessons from The Kitchn
I love a clean and organized fridge. I relish the time after a grocery shop where I can put everything away so it makes sense and looks pretty. However, it's easy to ignore the gunk. You know what I'm talking about: the little bits of dried up kale dried in your veggie drawer, the sticky patch on the middle shelf where some rogue jam made its great escape.
So every now and again it's nice to give your entire fridge a scrub down in order to de-stick and de-ick all the nooks and crannies. I know that emptying out the whole fridge can be overwhelming. (All of those veggies and sauces and leftovers sitting on the counter makes me feel like I'm on an episode of Hoarders: Foodie Edition.) But, the temporary stress of counter clutter is well worth it. It's a pretty easy process. Let's get to it!
How To Make Red Wine Sangria
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
We here at The Kitchn are firm believers in the power of sangria. Pull a pitcher from the fridge as guests arrive and no one needs much encouragement to start pouring glasses. It feels fancy and instantly festive, but sangria is also one of the easiest big-batch cocktails you can make. As the party host, it's a no-brainer.
We've shared a lot of fun recipes for sangria over the years, from a Sparkling Peach Sangria to a Strawberry & Limoncello Rosé Sangria. But today, we're all about keeping it classic. Here's how to make a the perfect red wine sangria for your next summer gathering.
How To Make Tahini
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Tahini, or sesame seed paste, is a staple of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. It's perhaps most notable for its essential role in making hummus, although its uses go far beyond that iconic dip.
But tahini can get pricey at the grocery store, and it's sometimes bitter or rancid after its long wait on the shelf. The good news is you can make this pantry staple at home for a fraction of the cost — and chances are it will taste better, too! You only need two ingredients: sesame seeds and oil.
How To Boil Potatoes
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Boiling potatoes is neither exciting or particularly sexy, as far as cooking skills go. But it is quite handy! All our favorite dishes from potato salad for a summer cookout to mashed potatoes for the Thanksgiving table start with — oh yes! — boiling a pot of potatoes.
Whether you're boiling your first potato tonight or wonder if you've been doing it right, here's a step-by-step guide showing you exactly how to boil potatoes.
How To Clean a Greasy Range Hood Filter
Cleaning Lessons from The Kitchn
When was the last time you peeked underneath your stove hood and checked out the exhaust fan filters? If it's been awhile or you've never done this, let me warn you: it's not going to be pretty. The purpose of a range hood filter is to collect grease, so if it's doing its job correctly, it's going to look and feel, well, greasy.
Over time the the filter may become so blocked with grease and ickiness that it loses its effectiveness, which is why it's important to clean these filters periodically. Thankfully, cleaning them isn't hard at all!
How To Make Potato Salad
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
I've never met a potato salad that I didn't like. Use mayo or Greek yogurt, season it with dill or throw in some kalamata olives and sundried tomatoes — they're all good. And since no cookout, picnic, or backyard party is complete without a giant bowl of potato salad on the table, there are ample opportunities every summer to try them all.
Today, let's pare it down to the basics and talk about how to make an easy, classic, all-American potato salad. You can serve this one just as it is, or use the recipe as a jumping off point for the potato salad of your dreams.
How To Cook Scallops on the Stovetop
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Scallops are a little luxury in my household. A weekend date night means plates of pasta and scallops with wedges of lemon and glasses of white wine on the side. Scallops are sustainable, delicious — and so easy! Here's how to make quick-cooking scallops on the stovetop in just about 5 minutes.
How To Clean a Food Processor Lid, Blade, and Handle
Cleaning Lessons from The Kitchn
When it comes to cleaning my food processor, 99.9% of the time I gently rinse it out and run the pieces through my dishwasher. But the high dry heat cycle can be rough on the plastic components, and the dishwasher doesn't always get into the nooks and crannies of the machine. (And I hate finding food stuck up in the handle or on the underside of the blade!) So, we decided it was high time to figure out a good way to clean all the tiny, cramped spaces of a food processor.
The trickiest part of this? Finding the right instrument to do the job efficiently. We knew we needed a long skinny tool that could reach up into the handle and the inside of the blade. Cambria and I started to email each other different ideas, and what we were left with seemed like an episode of MacGuyver. There were chopsticks fitted with paper towels and rubber bands. There was a pipe cleaner and a shish-kabob stick. Toothpicks. Q-tips. It was getting complicated...

Motorcyclist arrested for driving up to 152 mph
According to police, Edson Jose Barbosa was operating a black 2012 Suzuki GSXR 1300cc cafe style motorcycle.
Police said a trooper saw Edson Jose Barbosa, 44, of Stoneham, Mass., speeding on I-93 while heading south in the town of New Hampton.
The trooper did not try to stop him, given Barbosa's speed, police said, and instead had a trooper at the Hooksett toll plaza stop Barbosa while he was paying a toll fee.

November 29, 2014
SAN DIEGO (AP) - A jury has ordered the city of San Diego to pay $6.7 million to a man who was maimed by a giant palm tree that fell on him after cutbacks on yearly inspections and maintenance.
City News Service reports the lower half of Michael Burke's body was paralyzed by the 60-foot, 2,600-pound tree that fell on him Jan. 21, 2010.
In the trial's first phase, jurors found that the city failed to act despite knowing the Queen Palm was in a dangerous condition before it fell on Burke outside his home.
City Attorney's office spokesman Jonathan Heller says the case is far from over and the tree toppling was an unforeseeable act of God.
Burke, an attorney, and his wife were awarded the sum for lost wages and medical expenses.

Nate Davis of @USAToday profiles which 2-0 teams are the real deal (hint – Arizona Cardinals are a Wild Card team)Standard
Since the NFL expanded its playoff field from 10 to 12 teams in 1990, clubs starting the season 2-0 have proven a solid bet to reach postseason having done so 63% (124 of 196) of the time.
The 2014 campaign has begun with seven 2-0 squads. Here's an outlook for each:
Arizona Cardinals
Prediction: Assuming Palmer is OK, this team has enough talent to rise to second place in the division given the percolating issues in San Francisco and catastrophic circumstances in St. Louis. That will probably be good enough for a wild-card berth this year.
Buffalo Bills
Prediction: They're still at least a year away from the playoffs, maybe more if the next owners sweep out the front office and coaching staff for hand-picked choices.
Carolina Panthers
Prediction: Four second-half divisional tests against the Saints and Falcons will be revealing. But it still feels like this team may not have quite enough juice to stay in contention with a loaded NFC field.
Cincinnati Bengals
Prediction: They'll host another playoff game this season and will win it this time. But they're probably not good enough yet to reach the AFC Championship Game.
Denver Broncos
Prediction: The Broncos have time to dial in and will know exactly where they stand heading into their bye week following this Sunday's Super Bowl rematch in Seattle. But little reason to currently think Denver won't again be among the NFL's final four in four months.
Houston Texans
Prediction: If they can keep their injury report limited — Clowney is expected back in October — everything seems to be lining up for Houston to become the third consecutive team to make postseason the same year it drafted No. 1 overall.
Philadelphia Eagles
Prediction: They'll retain their division crown. Whether QB Nick Foles — and/or the Kelly scheme — can deliver in postseason against a defense the caliber of Seattle's or Carolina's is still very much in doubt.
@chicagotribune reports MLB changed the schedule of the World Series so they didn't compete with NFL gamesStandard
There's no question that the National Football League is America's most popular sport, and Major League Baseball doesn't want baseball fans to have to choose between pro football and the World Series.
For the first time in 24 years, baseball's World Series will open on a Tuesday (Oct. 21), according to the postseason schedule laid out by MLB on Thursday, a move that will considerably limit the number of times that baseball and pro football clash during the Fall Classic.
Under the previous schedule that started on a Wednesday and set its seventh game for a Thursday, there was the potential for four World Series games to go up against NFL action — two on Thursday (Games 2 and 7) and one each on Sunday (Game 4) and Monday (Game 5).
And in 2014, that would have meant baseball's championship round would have opposed a "Thursday Night Football" game on CBS (featuring Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos), a "Monday Night Football" game on ESPN (featuring the popular Dallas Cowboys) and potentially a second "Thursday Night Football" game (this one on NFL Network only).
Instead, the new World Series schedule that starts on a Tuesday and sets its seventh game on a Wednesday means that only a Game 5 (if needed in the best-of-seven series) will go up against the NFL: opposite NBC's juggernaut "Sunday Night Football" (on Oct. 26).
NFL.com writer @AdamSchein thinks the Buffalo Bills can be a playoff team this year!Standard
"But look at the landscape of the AFC wild-card race. The Bills certainly are capable of winning eight-plus games and making a legit run at January football. This is especially true if Manuel can actually play. His respectable start (see: 95.4 quarterback rating) has been a pleasant surprise, and this development changes everything for Buffalo's overall potential.
We will learn a lot about the 2014 Bills over the next three weeks, as they host the Chargers, travel to Houston to face another 2-0 surprise and then draw the Lions in Detroit.
I think we've already learned that this team is well-coached. This team seized the moment at home on Sunday. This team is moving in the right direction."

Ladies – Would you wear this NFL outfit? #Dallas #CowboysStandard
.@NYMAG has their "The Optimist's Guide to the 2014 Jets and Giants" with both being Wildcard teams!Standard
But opening weekend is no time for a gloomy outlook; it's an opportunity (possibly the last one) to believe your team will be a contender. (Or, at least, you know, a wild-card hopeful.) Here, a totally optimistic — to the point of perhaps being misguided — squint-a-bit-and-maybe-they-don't-look-so-bad guide to New York's NFL teams.
Jets best-case scenario: Geno Smith takes a step or three forward in his development, the Jets' acquisitions pay off, and they sneak into the playoffs as a wild card.
Giants best-case scenario: If new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo breathes new life into the offense, they stay relatively healthy, and they take care of business against weaker opponents, the Giants, too, can compete for a wild-card berth.

Louis Vuitton Loses Ground as World's Most Valuable Luxury Brand
LONDON, United Kingdom — Louis Vuitton is losing ground as the world's most valuable luxury brand as competitors including Gucci and Prada gain, a new research report shows.
LONDON, United Kingdom — Louis Vuitton is losing ground as the world's most valuable luxury brand as competitors including Gucci and Prada gain, a new research report shows.
HONG KONG, China — Armed with empty suitcases and same-day return tickets, an army of mainland Chinese is descending on suburban outlet shopping malls and international fashion chains in Hong Kong, turning cheap into the new chic as luxury falls out of favour.
LONDON, United Kingdom — The Savigny Luxury Index ("SLI") lost 1.5 percent in April, underperforming the MSCI World Index ("MSCI") by almost two percentage points. Luxury spending in Europe has been hit by a drop in tourist demand, as well as price increases by brands seeking wider margins. The unusually cold weather, particularly in March, also contributed to weak demand for Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collections.
NEW YORK, United States — Coach Inc. reported fiscal third-quarter results Tuesday that beat Wall Street expectations as the luxury handbag maker saw sales increase in its flagship North American market, as well as overseas. The New York company also said it's raising its dividend by 15 cents annually to $1.35 per share.
NEW YORK, United States — After more than 16 years as president and executive creative director of US accessories brand Coach, Reed Krakoff has announced that he will not renew his contract with the label, which is set to expire in June of 2014. The company has started the hunt for his successor. Krakoff is said to be leaving to focus on his own high-end label of sportswear-inspired apparel and accessories, Reed Krakoff, which he
NEW YORK, United States — Coach's valuation and cash generation -- enough to give it the third-highest free cash flow yield among peers -- could attract private-equity firms, Atlantic Equities LLP said. LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA and PPR SA may be among suitors drawn to its margins and the chance to expand Coach beyond the U.S. and Japan
LONDON, United Kingdom — The Savigny Luxury Index ("SLI") gained 2.7 percent in February, underperforming the MSCI World Index ("MSCI") by over one percentage point. The SLI lost ground at the beginning of the month following the questions raised on sector growth by LVMH's annual results announcement. Big news • Most analysts felt that LVMH's organic growth numbers for 2012 were a bit lower than expected. This, combined with Mr.
NEW YORK, United States — Coach Inc. shares rose 5 percent on Wednesday to $48.90 after a DealReporter article said there were rumours among investment bankers that the leather-goods maker was exploring a sale of the company. A Coach spokeswoman said the company does not comment on speculation or rumours. A share price of $48.90 would give Coach a market value of $13.7 billion. DealReporter cited two bankers as saying there were rumours Coach was exploring a sale, and a third banker who said Coach was rumored to be exploring strategic options, but was unable to provide specific information. Last month, Coach reported disappointing quarterly earnings and has faced growing competition from companies like Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. Two weeks…
LONDON, United Kingdom — The Savigny Luxury Index (SLI) gained 2.8 percent in January, outperforming the MSCI World Index (MSCI) by a touch over 1 percent. Positive economic news coming out of China sent the SLI into a mini-rally at the beginning of the month, however mixed corporate results announcements took some of the wind out of its sails. From a mergers and acquisitions perspective though, the year has started off with a
Coach handbag sales take hit, stock slumps (Reuters) "Coach Inc on Wednesday reported weak holiday-quarter results and unveiled a new strategy for shoes and clothing, spooking investors with the notion that the days of strong demand for its premium leather handbags may be numbered." And Precisely So (NY Times) "The designers are learning to use the extraordinary skills of a couture atelier to be more self-critical
LONDON, United Kingdom — Neither the Savigny Luxury Index ("SLI") nor the MSCI World Index ("MSCI") saw much activity during the month of December, finishing up 0.5 and 1 percent, respectively. Big news US shoppers were rather subdued in their purchases over the holiday season, causing all the US components of our SLI to fall immediately after Christmas, and then gradually catching up. PPR unveiled its first China-focused
Ebay makes renewed foray into China (FT) "Ebay is to make a renewed push into China via a partnership with xiu.com, a local online retailer of luxury goods. The US group plans to focus on importing high-end western goods at discount prices, taking advantage of a growing desire for such items in China, but without wading into the fierce competition of the domestic market." Cable backs plan to boost textile industry (FT)
Uniqlo.com to the Rescue of Middle America (Business Week) "Uniqlo, the Japanese clothes giant, launched an online shopping site in the U.S. this week. This may not seem like important news to many, but to a certain American consumer—think very well-dressed, without much money, and living between the coasts—it is like a food drop from a Marshall Plan plane in 1940s Berlin."

Louisville had no peers in C-USA
Playing its home games only yards from Churchill Downs, Louisville proved to be nothing short of a sure bet.
Memphis pointed to its offensive backfield of QB Danny Wimprine and RB DeAngelo Williams. Texas Christian cited last year's impeccable start and an endless supply of skill players. Louisville boasted arguably the nation's best QB tandem (Stefan LeFors and Brian Brohm), while UAB had team leader Darrell Hackney healthy and raring to go. As for defending league champ Southern Miss? It returned another durable defense headlined by LB Michael Boley.
In the end, however, one team lapped the field. Playing its home games only yards from Churchill Downs, Louisville proved to be nothing short of a sure bet. The Cardinals led the league in nearly every relevant statistical category, including total offense (536.7), total defense (307.9) and average turnover margin (plus-1.27).
