Wal-Mart is bringing back its layaway payment plan for the holidays, an indication that shoppers at the nation's largest retailer were feeling more and more strapped.
Wal-Mart had scrapped layaway in 2006, saying so many customers were using credit cards or gift cards the program was obsolete. Now, though, consumers are demanding it, said Duncan Mac Naughton, chief merchandising officer for Wal-Mart's U.S. stores.
"It just tells us the customer's still struggling, as they tell us about their concerns with energy prices, housing prices, the job security, that 9.2 per cent unemployment — it tells us that this is a fragile economy and the customer needs our help," Mac Naughton said.
Wal-Mart Canada has made no announcement about layaway.
Layaway means that a store sets aside a product and requires customers to pay for it over time, usually charging a small service fee but no interest. With layaway, someone living paycheque to paycheque could potentially afford a more expensive item if given the extra time to pay for it.
It was a common way to pay for expensive items through much of the 20th century. But as credit cards became popular, layaway dwindled and was mainly used by lower-income consumers who could not qualify for credit cards.
That has been changing in the past couple of years. As the recession hit and the recovery dragged on, some Wal-Mart competitors have offered layaway. Toys "R" Us started offering layaway on expensive items in 2009, while Sears brought back layaway in 2008 after a long hiatus. (Sears Holdings' Kmart division has offered layaway for decades.)
The other retailers' jump on layaway puts Wal-Mart into the unusual position of being a holiday season follower. Because of its size, it often sets the standards that other stores follow over the holidays, whether that is pricing on toys or its offer last year of free shipping on hundreds of online items.
Now, with nine consecutive quarters of declining same-store sales in the United States, Wal-Mart is struggling to figure out how to get its consumers to spend. Executives have said throughout the year that shoppers are increasingly shunning credit and paying with cash, and are running out of money at the end of the month.
Wal-Mart's revival of layaway indicates it does not expect consumers to feel flush anytime soon.
Wal-Mart is limiting the program's scope and time frame. Only toys and electronics may be paid for on layaway, starting Oct. 17 and ending Dec. 16. Each item must cost $15 or more, and the total layaway purchase must be $50 or more. There is a $5 service fee, and a 10 per cent down payment is required.
On a site where shoppers can offer feedback to Wal-Mart, layaway has been one of the more popular suggestions.
A commenter by the name of PamS wrote that even when she set aside money for gifts, "the saved money usually gets used for some other unexpected bill or what not; whereas if I was able to do layaway I feel I could better budget and especially for special holidays.
"I know for some the idea of layaway probably seems silly; but for those of us on very fixed and limited incomes, it does help," she wrote.

Your "smartest guy in the room" leader, during his first year in office, called business leaders into meeting groups, breakout sessions and lessons learned groups. How well did that work. Straight out of academia. The only thing that is really amusing is you think you are smart. The only thing that I don't find amusing is you "smart people" are dragging the rest to the country into a failed system. And please stop with the "conspiracy" progressive talking point.

As I walk through the neighborhood soccer field, I observe the young children
playing a game with rules that allow no one to win. It will upset them if there was a winner.
I reflect on the fact that children of the same age in the middle east are not playing,
but preparing to murder these children. I then observe the mindless parents sitting in their folding
lawn chairs thinking they are doing these children a favor.What level of horror will make these parents understand the state of the world. How many of us must
be served up on the alter of terror before they understand that it must be stopped …. and stopped now.
It seems that 9/11 never happened. Instead of flaming anger, most lit candles and cowered in their homes. Now the enemy grows …. it's religion grows. Their minions cross our boarder untouched and
the vehicle of our demise with them. And yes, some of us feed them and give them a home.Sadly, it may take an incident or incidents so profound, to shake these dumbed down parents to understand. If they only would understand the cost.

MAIDENHEAD, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 12/19/12 -- SDL (LSE:SDL) the leader in Global Information Management, today announced that EXFO Inc., a leading provider of test and service assurance solutions for network operators and equipment manufacturers in the global telecommunications industry, is working with SDL to more effectively and efficiently translate content across its entire supply chain. EXFO will be able to centralize translation assets and share them in real time resulting in translation cost, speed and quality improvements.
EXFO has approximately 1800 people in 25 countries, supporting more than 2000 telecom customers worldwide. To meet the demands of these customers, EXFO needed to shorten global product launch cycles of their test and service assurance solutions for global telecommunications. With R&D and Marketing teams working separately on translations, using Language Service Providers and in-house translators, there was a need for a centralized system to automate manual processes and allow for translation re-use so they could translate content faster and more accurately.
To address these translation challenges, EXFO deployed Trados Studio® (a product of SDL), SDL TM Server® and SDL MultiTerm Server(TM) to ensure high quality content across all languages, provide workflow and project management control as well as a centralised translation memory and terminology databases which ensure the quick reuse of previously translated content.
"EXFO is proud to have chosen SDL for its translation tools. SDL's expertise and great understanding of our needs truly made a difference in our day-to-day operations," said Kathleen Cotter, Translation Coordinator at EXFO. "An innovative company like ours must rely on efficient and reliable tools to provide our customers with first-class translation, as fast as possible."
"It is an honour to be recognised as a trusted supplier by EXFO," said Tim McManus, Senior Vice President of products for SDL's Language Technologies Division. "This exciting opportunity reconfirms our ability to provide a fantastic service to global brands and we look forward to continuing to work with EXFO."
About EXFO
Listed on the NASDAQ and TSX stock exchanges, EXFO is among the leading providers of next-generation test and service assurance solutions for wireline and wireless network operators and equipment manufacturers in the global telecommunications industry. The company offers innovative solutions for the development, installation, management and maintenance of converged, IP fixed and mobile networks - from the core to the edge. Key technologies supported include 3G, 4G/LTE, IMS, Ethernet, OTN, FTTx, VDSL2, ADSL2+ and various optical technologies (accounting for an estimated 35% of the portable fiber-optic test market). EXFO has a staff of approximately 1800 people in 25 countries, supporting more than 2000 telecom customers worldwide. For more information, visit www.exfo.com.
About SDL
SDL enables global businesses to engage with their customers in the language, the media and at the moment they choose. We help businesses manage their brands, drive global revenues, accelerate speed to market and enrich their customers' experience.

By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

LINCOLN CITY - Lincoln Amphitheatre is seeking to hire nine seasonal theater staff members for the summer.
The "front of house" jobs officials there need to fill include a box-office manager, house manager, concessions manager, and six guest-services representatives.
All applicants interested in these positions must send in resumes and applications by April 16.
Editor's note: This story was provided to The News by Teena Ligman of the Hoosier National Forest and was taken from the Historical Snapshots Installments.
The Forest Service was established in Indiana in February 1935 after the 73rd Indiana Congress passed an Enabling Act. Four ranger districts, each managing a purchase unit, were established and land purchases began.
By mid-1936 the Forest Service had about 35,000 acres in Indiana approved for purchase. The four districts were Pleasant Run, Lost River, Patoka and Lafayette ranger districts.
LEOPOLD - Perry Central School Board members approved an incentive plan last Monday in hopes of obtaining the early retirements of up to four teachers. The move is similar to offers made by other Hoosier school districts and is a cost-saving measure taken in the face of reduced funding.
Like most Hoosier schools, Perry Central is facing the loss of state revenue and school officials have said about $300,000 needs to be trimmed from its 2010 budget to maintain a healthy cash balance.
BRANCHVILLE - A day after his arrest on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, Indiana conservation officer and candidate for Perry County Sheriff Joe Lackey apologized for his actions and said he would suspend his campaign while he deals with personal issues.
"I'm not going to actively campaign for now," Lackey, 52, said in a phone call to The News Thursday morning. He was released from the Spencer County Jail Wednesday night, where he was taken after being arrested in Tell City by part-time sheriff's deputy Roger Smith.
CANNELTON - Elementary Principal Ginger Conrad commended at a school-board meeting Thursday Myers Grade School students for their contributions to the weekend commemoration of a plane crash five decades ago at Millstone.
"We were very proud to be a part of the program for the 50th anniversary of the Electra plane crash," she told the board. At the urging of teacher Joan Goble, students created artwork and composed a poem that was read aloud at a remembrance ceremony the preceding Saturday in the city's community center.
PERRY COUNTY - The U.S. Census Bureau continues to alter its plans for assistance centers in the county, with news last week of a third location in the county highway garage.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Thursdays. It joins centers at City Hall in Tell City and the Cannelton Public Library. Center hours at Tell City are 9 a.m. to noon Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
TELL CITY - Tell City's High School's 2010 drum-line members rocked a William Tell Elementary School gym twice Thursday in what were their grand finales for the season.
It was an up-and-down competition season for them, with next-to-last-place finishes their first and third contests, split their second time out by a finish three-tenths of a point away from first place.
CANNELTON - "They should be more concerned that kids get an education than a vacation," Cannelton School Board member Barbara Beard said at a regular meeting Thursday.
Schools Superintendent Al Chapman had said a calendar he proposed for next year is similar to those the school system has been using, which feature longer breaks through the year and a shorter summer break.

In late summer and early fall, the talk of pricing standing corn for corn silage always seems to come up in conversation. Most look for a simple conversion from the current cost of grain corn to the value for corn silage. Unfortunately, in today's economic environment, taking a little time to look at the factors involved with pricing corn silage from standing corn will help both the buyer and seller reach a fair price. Consider the price from each perspective, grain grower and forage buyer.

The FBI has investigated three former state police lieutenants -- including the former head of the elite detail that guards the Pennsylvania governor -- for their involvement with prostitutes during successive vacations to Southeast Asia.
Records in a case pending in federal court in Pennsylvania say the lieutenants admitted hiring the prostitutes on personal trips between 2002 and 2008.
An Associated Press review of the internal state police records shows the lieutenants evaded significant punishment.
The records were disclosed in an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by retired Cpl. Joe Farthing.
Farthing, an African-American who was not implicated in the Asian trips, claims state police brass concocted a racially motivated claim that he had improperly milked overtime while guarding then-Gov. Ed Rendell.
Farthing's case was recently scheduled to go to trial next summer.

Medicaid expansion could bring 2,000 jobs to KC area, study says
- Staff Kansas City Business Journal
A new report says that expanding Medicaid in Missouri would provide a boost to the state's workforce.
The report from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center estimates that expanding Medicaid coverage would create 23,868 new jobs and $9.9 billion in new wages during the next eight years. Gov. Jay Nixon has pushed to extend Medicaid coverage to about 300,000 more Missourians, but has been rebuffed by Republican leaders in the General Assembly.
The study [PDF] said increasing access to health care would bring more than 2,100 jobs to Kansas City, with wages of $1 billion, and more than 4,400 jobs and wages of $2.3 billion in St. Louis County between 2015 and 2022.

-New teams/projects sometimes fail to take lessons from past post mortems or projects and repeat the same mistakes (i.e. repeating similar build process/work flows that were proved to be inefficient in past development)
-Feature team sprint planning retrospectives appear to be ignored or very slow in being acknowledged
-Management frequently allows for feature creep to become a problem
-Extensive use of "contracted" employees when there is more than enough workload to justify more FTE positions, particularly in QA
-Recent removal of the QA department to a third party agency poses a severe threat to studio culture and the pre-existing dynamic of hiring/mentoring from within (Good portion of design and production started as QA)
There are two key points that need to be addressed. With so many moving parts within the studio, communication and better standards of development need to be established. This is particularly the case as teams are usually working on code/content that effect one another, but they are rarely aware until the last possible minute which usually results in overtime, and unnecessarily risky development.
Lastly, the recent move to offload the entire QA department to a third party agency is undeniably an unhealthy move in regards to the studio culture and the pre-existing dynamic of mentoring/hiring young developers and producers from within. This is often referred to as "cutting off the hand that feeds" in this scenario. There will be a trickledown effect that will likely become visible six months to a year after making this move. There will most likely be an extremely high churn/turnover rate due to a lack of competitive wages and exposure to the studio environment. This will increase development costs due to new QA constantly being trained which will slow down the product workflow. The company will also likely be forced to hire more developers from external sources over time, which will also drive up costs, as they will likely require better wages, and will naturally have a training or product/tool familiarization downtime period.
On paper this might look good, but in time the company will start incurring heavier recruitment costs, and QA training/retention costs. This will particularly be the case if the company wishes to keep the aggressive development pace that has been the standard.

I worked at ArenaNet full-time (more than 3 years)
ProsArenaNet is a fantastic place for young, talented, and passionate people to work in a fun, fast-paced environment.
ConsManagement is disorganized and overworked. The pay low compared to industry average.
Advice to ManagementAdviceDon't let your talent leave for better pay elsewhere. Instead of promoting the best engineers or designers to leadership roles, just compensate them better and let them be productive for you. I've seen too many talented individuals leave because of money (myself included) to other places.

"Great for its size "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at ArenaNet full-time (more than 10 years)
ProsI've been here for over 10 years now because I've experienced a lot of negatives at other game companies that don't happen here, or happen to a lesser extent. The negative stuff I've read from others here are things that happen in any and every company with more than 40 employees. Here's what I think are the pros at ArenaNet:
• No demands for overtime.
• Very creative, talented, and passionate coworkers.
• Management is very approachable and actually kind caring individuals. (the ones' I've gotten to know)
• Room for growth and focus from management on individualized career improvement.
• Flexible work hours and understanding about work/life balance.
• Commitment to profit sharing (last bonus was 25 weeks of pay) The calculations are open and clear, but the timing is not consistent yet.
• Freedom to pursue good ideas. (I got to form a team and create content based on an idea I had.)
• Good communication between departments.
• The usual game company amenities such as free snacks, beverages, gym.ConsMost of the cons I've experienced much much worse elsewhere, and I think they exist everywhere I've worked and I have friends in virtually every game company in America and they all echo this fact. So understand that these are really minor annoyances, not game breakers.
• Experimentation with release cadence/style/type/team sizes and configurations, etc. Since Guild Wars 2 is subscription-free and relies on MTX, there's been a lot experimenting to find out what model of content works best for this. So we've shifted gears so many times I've lost count. This may be a non-issue within the next couple months or year though.
• Over reliance on contractors. We spend a lot of time getting them up to speed, getting to know and like them, and then their contract is up.
• You have to pay $55 a month for parking.Advice to ManagementAdviceFind a way to hire our contractors full time.

As the larger center channel model in the Reference Series, the RC263 is distinctive for its 3-way design. The heart of this center channel speaker is the 1" (25mm) CMMD™ high-frequency driver mated to our advanced waveguide. This combination provides seamless integration with the midrange and smooth coverage across a wide listening area. A 4" (100mm) flat-piston CMMD™ midrange with a dedicated sub-enclosure provides superior vocal and dialogue intelligibility. Dual 6.5" (165mm) CMMD™ woofers work in conjunction with the sealed enclosure to provide powerful, deep bass response that will make your music and movies come alive. The RC263's slender design and elegant details provide a rich appearance that blends well with any decor.
Center channel loudspeaker ideally suited for music and home theater systems
The RC263's slender profile allows for flexible placement within your entertainment system. It is sonically matched to companion Reference Series floorstanding, bookshelf and surround loudspeakers and powered subwoofers allowing you to create the ideal system solution for your needs.
1" (25mm) CMMD™ tweeter with advanced waveguide
The combination of the acoustical science and patented designs found in the 1" (25mm) CMMD™ (Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm) tweeter and advanced waveguide provides seamless sonic integration with the CMMD™ midrange while providing excellent high-frequency detail and smooth coverage across a wide listening area.
4" (100mm) CMMD™ flat-piston midrange with dedicated sub-enclosure
The flat-piston design reduces critical high- and mid-frequency diffraction found in traditional cone-type midrange drivers. This helps to improve the integration with tweeter and woofers and provides better balanced sound across the entire frequency range. The dedicated sub-enclosure prevents harmful interaction with the woofers inside the cabinet and allows the midrange to remain crystal clear at all times.
Dual 6.5" (165mm) CMMD™ high-output woofers with sealed enclosure
Powerful bass is key to a high-quality sound experience and the strength of Infinity's extremely rigid woofer cones – constructed from CMMD™ (Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm) – help to deliver a wide frequency range with minimal distortion. These woofers work in conjunction with the sealed enclosure to provide powerful deep bass that makes your music and movies come alive.
Computer-optimized driver positioning and network integration

Very helpful staff, very comfortable room, excellent building and golf. Perfect place for relaxation
Nothing to dislike
I did not like that the hotel takes more more than they should do and the beds was 2 beds pushed together. The staff in the restraunt just chatted and did not really look after you.
Staff in restaurant were very poor, food was bad, very slow service
The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. The rooms are all stunning, it was my 2nd visit for a spa break. The facilities are excellent and clean and the venue is quiet and peaceful. It's excellent value for money and Browns restaurant is excellent. The food is outstanding and worth every pennie. I can highly recommend this hotel and spa.
The spa lounge is limited on food choice and having only one member of staff on made it very slow service and I had to go ask for assistance as we did feel like we were forgotten about.
Been to The Mere twice in the past three months with my partner, we've had a fantastic stay both times and will continue to come in the future!
very good spa and very clean
£5.00 tray charge everytime you order room service and there is nothing in the hotel that informs you of this
The Mere Golf resort and Spa is in a perfect location for visiting Knutsford and Tatton park. The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived to our departure. Nothing was too much trouble. A very clean, relaxing environment which helped to recharge our batteries following the festive period. Will definitely return soon

nothing really.
Everything was perfect. Was only a one night stay. Will definitely be visiting again!!
Fruit salad and coffee good
Food was bland scrambled eggs tasteless
Bed was very comfortable as was the room
Staff and facilities were 1st class!!
Nothing against children, I have 3 of my own!! But when we were having a chill out at the pool area there were a lot of children in the pool, and as kids rightfully do, they made a lot of noise!!! Not good for a chill out. Sorry!!!
We were not comfortable with the fact that there us no dress code at Brown's. We found patrons coming in to breakfast wearing vests and slippers which we felt were inappropriate.
Great stay every time i have stayed here
Staff at the restaurant when we had our breakfast were very friendly.
When checking in after a long tiring day I told the receptionist my daughter had an allergy and if it was ok for them to heat her food I bought, I was told to ask the staff at the restaurant to see if they would so to me there wasn't much help or passion about it so I left having to ask again. Room a lot bigger in the pictures.
Very swanky. Great spa facilities
My room (100) was very close to receoption and right next to lifts and storge rooms - therefore quite noisy

Laminar Research Releases X-Plane 9
Published on 22 April 2008 03:25 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
While not exactly a game, Laminar Research has announced the release of X-Plane 9.0.
is a multi-platform (Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows) flight simulator, but unlike FlightGear and other open-source simulators, this is meant to be a life-like training exercise. X-Plane is so realistic that it has been certified by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) here in the United States for use as a training utility. X-Plane 9 has been in beta for some time, but X-Plane 9.00 has now officially been released.
X-Plane 9.00 features 867 flight instruments, 25,737 airports, and 25,866 navigation aids. There are also major rendering and scenery improvements in this latest release. All of the details can be found on the
X-Plane website
. A demo version of X-Plane 9 is available, but the full version with the scenery will cost you. Laminar Research sells X-Plane 9 for $79 USD.
X-Plane 9 will soon be a staple to the OpenGL testing in the
Phoronix Test Suite
. Laminar Research is not only producing the PTS profile, but they will even be shipping a specialized (free) build of X-Plane 9.00 that is specifically designed for benchmarking within the Phoronix Test Suite with unneeded parts of the software being stripped out. Major props to them and their great work.
