Comic Retailers Name Image Comics Publisher of the Year
- Posted by Johanna on February 7, 2014 at 1:02 pm
- Category: Comic News
It's hard to disagree with this choice. The Gem Awards, run by Diamond Comic Distributors, are selected by comic book specialty retailers and are "recognized within the comic book industry as the pinnacle of sales achievement". So note, these are not signs of quality recognition, but an indicator of what sells well for retailers.
With that in mind, it's good to see Image's dedication to diversity in its titles — with all kinds of genres and subjects — recognized with the award Comic Book Publisher of the Year (Over 4% Market Share). The publisher also won Best New Comic Book Series for East of West and Best Free Comic Book Day book for The Walking Dead Special.
DC Entertainment, long a favorite for its retailer-friendly policies, won the most awards with six, including Top Dollar Comic of the Year (what a category!) for Superman Unchained #1 and Backlist Publisher of the Year. (Backlist means not new product, but perennials, such as DC's Watchmen collection. It's hard to envision any other comic publisher with as strong a list of perpetual sellers.)
The Comic Book Publisher of the Year with Under 4% Market Share award went to Boom! Studios. Marvel won two awards, Top Dollar Comic Book Publisher of the Year (whether stores like their policies or not, Marvel comics sell well) and Comic Book of the Year (Over $3.00), which was Superior Spider-Man #1. Comic Book of the Year (Under $3.00) was Afterlife With Archie #1. Why that particular price break or even why the category needs to be split, I don't know.
Said Diamond President & CEO Steve Geppi, "We established the Gem Awards to give comic retailers an opportunity to recognize the vendors, titles, and products that have been instrumental in helping their businesses grow over the past year." There are many more awards included in the official press release, including a number of toy products, if you're interested in those.
I do wonder just how the selection process works. It can't be easy picking among your customers to choose who to recognize, particularly since Diamond is dependent on the goodwill of the bigger players to stay in business. The press release says, "Vendors nominated for Gem Awards were chosen by a panel of Diamond product specialists based on their overall impact on the industry, while comics and related merchandise were chosen on the merits of their sales performance and quality from 2013. Winners were then selected by members of the most critical segment that serves the comic book-buying public — comic book specialty retailers across the United States and worldwide."

The Impact of Price on Revenue
At some stage most developers offering paid apps ask themselves if they might make more money by lowering (or sometimes increasing) the price of their app. Distimo has done some interesting analysis on the impact of price drops on the iPad and iPhone app stores.
The conclusion is that price drops positively affect revenue…

Regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tr cells), the development of which is critically dependent on X-linked transcription factor Foxp3 (forkhead box P3), prevent self-destructive immune responses. Despite its important role, molecular and functional features conferred by Foxp3 to Tr precursor cells remain unknown. It has been suggested that Foxp3 expression is required for both survival of Tr precursors as well as their inability to produce interleukin (IL)-2 and independently proliferate after T-cell-receptor engagement, raising the possibility that such 'anergy' and Tr suppressive capacity are intimately linked. Here we show, by dissociating Foxp3-dependent features from those induced by the signals preceding and promoting its expression in mice, that the latter signals include several functional and transcriptional hallmarks of Tr cells. Although its function is required for Tr cell suppressor activity, Foxp3 to a large extent amplifies and fixes pre-established molecular features of Tr cells, including anergy and dependence on paracrine IL-2. Furthermore, Foxp3 solidifies Tr cell lineage stability through modification of cell surface and signalling molecules, resulting in adaptation to the signals required to induce and maintain Tr cells. This adaptation includes Foxp3-dependent repression of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3B, affecting genes responsible for Tr cell homeostasis.

Friday's practice sessions in Melbourne were the first of the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship. They were also the first under the new one-engine-per-weekend regulations and the first with third drivers. So what did the participants make of it all?
Michael Schumacher, Ferrari (1st, 1m 24.718s):
I am happy with the performance of the car which has matched our expectations after winter testing. But we should not read too much into the lap times, as it is too early to say if this is a true picture of the order among the teams: in fact, I doubt that it is. Today, we worked mainly on adapting the cars set-up for this circuit. I went off the track three times during the course of the day, which was mainly due to the wind, which was strong and not consistent and it can catch you out in terms of judging your braking point.
Rubens Barrichello, Ferrari (2nd, 1m 24.826s):
I am very happy with the car. We still have some more work to do on the set-up, but the car shows great potential. So I think there is more to come from it this weekend, which is encouraging. The car is still quite new for me, as I only got one and a half days running in it in dry conditions, so I am still learning. We went through our normal work schedule for a first day of free practice, keeping in mind the new rule regarding engines. We must not read too much into todays result, but it is a good way to start the season.
Jarno Trulli, Renault (3rd, 1m 25.757s):
"In general, it was a good trouble-free day for us. We completed our programme on the set-up and the tyres, and I am pleased with the results. So far, the car has been reliable and I think we have a solid base for further improvements. I am confident we can keep making progress as the track improves, and am looking forward to the new format qualifying session tomorrow."
Fernando Alonso, Renault (5th, 1m 25.853s):
"From my point of view, it was a pretty good day. We still need to improve in terms of the car's balance, and particularly work hard with the data to make the correct tyre choice. We did lots of laps, which allowed us to improve the set-up quite significantly, and I think we ran a good programme."
Jenson Button, BAR (4th, 1m 25.786s):
"Its been a very interesting start to the new season. It felt quite strange leaving most of the driving to (third driver) Anthony (Davidson) but hes done a great job of obtaining information for myself and Taku for the second session. Hes going to play a key role in the way our race weekends shape up this season as Taku and I preserve our engines. Were working really well together, exactly as we do in testing, and there isnt any learning curve for us as a driver line-up, which is going to be a significant advantage. The car feels strong and we have some good tyre options, so Im feeling positive about the race debut of the 006. The conditions are improving all the time as the circuit cleans up and Im looking forward to more set-up work tomorrow morning in readiness for what is likely to be a very interesting qualifying session."
Takuma Sato, BAR (12th, 1m 26.967s):
"Its great to be back competing in a Grand Prix again but it is quite a challenge to adapt to the new format. Ive had very little track time so it is difficult to choose the right tyre in such a short space of time. Were working very well together as a team though and it is encouraging that all three drivers seem to be following the same direction. Im looking forward to seeing how the rest of the weekend shapes up now."
Anthony Davidson, BAR (15th, 1m 27.516s):
"I'm very pleased with the way things have gone in my first day of race weekend running with BAR Honda. It was fun to see my name up there with all the other drivers and I feel that we have achieved a lot in support of the two race drivers. I'm pretty happy with my times and I have adapted to the track very quickly. All the work I have done over the winter to learn the new circuits certainly seems to have paid off today. Of course, it's great to be here as part of an established driver line-up. It's just like being at a test with them really, so I feel very comfortable. I think the new Friday format will work well and will be a very important part of moving the team forward."
Ralf Schumacher, Williams (6th, 1m 25.882s):
We could complete our programme today and, most importantly, we made our tyre choice, as the new regulations require. We didn't have much running in the morning also because of the poor conditions of the track, but I am quite confident we can improve even if the gap to Ferrari is seemingly very big.
Juan Pablo Montoya, Williams (7th, 1m 26.206s):
Probably not the result I was looking forward to achieve in this first practice. I was expecting poor grip in the first session, due to the dusty track, but then the situation didn't improve that much when the track became cleaner, since the balance of my car was not ideal. We've now got some work ahead of us to close the gap to the Ferrari drivers, who have been very quick today.
David Coulthard, McLaren (8th, 1m 26.215s):
"Like the majority of the other teams, we ran a limited amount of laps as a result of the one engine rule. However we went through our set programme, which was aimed at establishing where we are on tyres as we have to make the decision by Saturday morning. We will now concentrate on tomorrow which is when the action really starts."
Kimi Raikkonen, McLaren (10th, 1m 26.579s):
"We focused on trying to find the right tyres for the weekend and went through our planned programme. I'm not too happy with the set up of the car at the moment, but we will work on it overnight and hopefully improve for tomorrow."
Mark Webber, Jaguar (9th, 1m 26.312s):
It was fantastic to finally get out in the R5 today and to get a feel for the track. We worked steadily through our test programme and we successfully completed our tasks. Having (third driver) Bjorn (Wirdheim) out there today meant that I could focus on my car set-up and balance while he did a lot of the tyre work, it makes a big difference to me having him with us on a Friday. I am really pleased with how today went and I am now really looking forward to qualifying. The track is of course slightly green in a few places but generally it feels good and I always enjoy driving here. The R5 is of course different to the R4 that we had here last year so it's important to work as much as we can setting up the car in preparation for tomorrow and the race. Overall, so far, so good.
Christian Klien, Jaguar (17th, 1m 27.724s):
Well, I think the time I spent in the simulator at the factory practising in Albert Park was time well spent but there is no substitute for the real thing. It was exciting to go out there this morning and it certainly took me by surprise how much bumpier it was then I expected. The balance of the R5 was good but it still shakes you around and as I soon discovered it was also greener on track than I realised when I had a little spin at Turn 4. Learning the track today was really my priority and I feel that I achieved this. I did spend some time working on the R5 set-up and of course my tyres as I need to make this decision tonight. Having Bjorn work on the tyres too takes some of the pressure off and lets us focus on the cars.
Bjorn Wirdheim, Jaguar (20th, 1m 28.781s):
I spent most of today working on tyres for the team and I also focused on learning the track. After my thirty laps I certainly feel as if I am starting to know my way about. The tyre work is of course vital to the team although it is disappointing to not have a great lap time, but that is not why I am here! It's been a really positive day and I hope that I have helped the team in some way. I completed the planned programme so its been a good start.
Giancarlo Fisichella, Sauber (11th, 1m 26.601s):
"It was quite a good day, and I did my best laps during a long run. The balance was getting better with each lap, and we know which direction to take to improve the car further for tomorrow. We also have a clear tyre choice. It's going to be difficult to get into the top 10, but we'll do our best."
Felipe Massa, Sauber (13th, 1m 26.969s:
"This morning I lost all my track time when my car stopped early on with a fuel pressure problem, but this afternoon I did a long run and the balance was getting better and better as the track improved, and the Bridgestone tyres felt consistent. The car was very good, and I could easily have gone half a second faster, but towards the end I got traffic on each lap. I'm happy with what I achieved, though, especially given what happened this morning."
Cristiano da Matta, Toyota (16th, 1m 27.710s):
"I only completed twenty-or-so laps today, so it isn't easy to draw too many conclusions from the practice sessions. In the first hour, the track didn't have much grip and we decided not to run much. In the second session, I experienced some brake problems and I was ultimately forced to stop due to a puncture. Not the best start to the weekend, but on a positive note (third driver) Ricardo Zonta did a lot of tyre comparison work today, so we were able to collect some very useful data for the weekend."
Olivier Panis, Toyota (18th, 1m 27.807s):
"I had a difficult first day in Australia today. We were unable to complete many laps and I am not yet happy with the set-up of the TF104 for the Albert Park track. We will sit down together this afternoon to work on it and find some improvements before tomorrow's two practice sessions."
Ricardo Zonta, Toyota (14th, 1m 27.165s):
"In the first session, the track was quite slippery and so I didn't push so much. The conditions improved as the session went on and I began to find the limits. In the second session, we did a back-to-back tyre comparison. We did a long run with the best set we found and the performance was quite consistent. We also found a good balance on the car, which should benefit the race drivers tomorrow. I am very pleased to be back driving during race weekends again and I hope my work today has helped."
Nick Heidfeld, Jordan (19th, 1m 27.826s):
"It's good to be back out on track and we did our tyre evaluation programme but I'm a bit frustrated that we weren't able to carry out a set-up change I wanted to make after the morning session, and now we have limited time available. Otherwise, I think I'd have been a bit further ahead in the timing sheets. If it had given me an extra tenth I would have been within range of Toyota and Jaguar, a good starting point at our first race."
Giorgio Pantano, Jordan (23rd, 1m 29.708s):
"I enjoyed my first day of Grand Prix driving and I'm concentrating entirely on learning as everything here is new for me. We are making every effort to do our best and I think in preparation for tomorrow we can make changes and improve, for sure."
Timo Glock, Jordan (24th, 1m 30.291s):
"It was great today, a lot of fun doing laps with the rest of the Formula One field. During the second session the car felt really good and the times weren't bad but quite early on in the afternoon we had a problem - maybe the gearbox - and my session stopped there."
Gianmaria Bruni, Minardi (21st, 1m 28.991s):
"It was a good day for me. We did both short and long runs, which helped me to learn the circuit and to find a reasonable balance for the chassis. I was pleased with my time on new tyres, but also happy with the longer run we did on worn tyres. I feel sure we'll go better on Saturday as a result of the information we have picked up today."
Zsolt Baumgartner, Minardi (22nd, 1m 29.708s):
"It was generally okay today, but we still have to find a better balance in the chassis. I wasn't so happy with my last time because I couldn't really use the new tyres to best advantage. Even so, I think we made good progress. We ran hard all day, and I am now getting used to the car and the circuit. Tomorrow, I hope we can improve and get closer to the others."

Chinese Drywall Concerns Linger
Over two years ago drywall imported from China had been found to be tainted with an unknown toxin. While most of this bad drywall was used in the Southeast, there is evidence that the drywall was used in some new homes in Arizona from 2001-2008. Last week PBS aired a segment on the newest concerns surfacing from this issue. If you suspect a home has tainted drywall please contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Wool Industry in India
Last Updated: July, 2014
The Indian wool and woollen textile industry is the seventh-largest in the world. The industry employed 2.7 million people in 2010-11 The main woollen items producing states of India are Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Punjab alone accounts for 40 per cent woollen units, while Haryana 27 per cent, Rajasthan for 10 per cent and the rest of the states account for the remaining 23 per cent.
India produced 46.4 million kg of indigenous raw wool during 2013-14. Out of the total indigenous raw wool production, only 5 per cent is apparel grade, while 10 per cent is coarse grade. The remaining 85 per cent is used for carpet manufacturing, which is a major source of export earnings.
The Wool & Woollens Export Promotion Council (WWEPC) participates in various international trade fairs and exhibitions, and facilitates member visits and trade delegations, etc.

There are titles that come along with greatness on the pool table; champion, house pro, even an appropriate nickname. Linda Carter has all of these. The one they call Wonder Woman started honing her skills in college
"The guys would drag me down to the student union just to have somebody to beat up on, but then you know I was beating up on all the guys," said Carter. "I just had that natural hand/eye coordination."
"She was picking the game up in a hurry, a lot faster than I ever did," said Carter's friend, Mike Graham. "I'd played 20 years before that. You could tell that she really enjoyed the game. She's very competitive, didn't like losing, which a winner doesn't."
Spending countless hours teaching herself the game, Carter eventually developed into one of the top billiards players on the women's circuit. It was an unexpected outcome for someone from such humble beginnings.
"I was adopted from an orphanage when I was two from Korea," said Carter.
She ended up in Southern Oregon in the '50s where she bounced from home to home, never establishing a consistenst support system.
"Life got really tough for me, but between the ages of birth to ten, I actually had eight different sets of parents," said Carter.
However, Carter was able to learn from her tough upbringing.
"I learned early on that if I'm going to do something, it's got to be on my own," said Carter. "I have to make it happen. So that's probably why I was attracted to individualistic sports because it's all me. My failures are my own. I have to own them, and any success that I have is due to what I'm doing."
The individualism and self-control were just two factors that drew her to the pool tables.
"One thing about pool is it can be enjoyed at any level, and that's really what attracted me: the sound, the clicking of the balls, the beautiful colors rolling along, the geometry and the physics," said Carter.
"Some people just like to shoot pool as a social thing, but there was more to it then that," said Graham. "You could tell that there was a real severe interest, and she was going to be a good player."
Pool is more than just a social activity to Carter. Not only does she compete at the highest level, she raised two kids while working full time and she also teaches the sport.
"Easy to learn, difficult to master," said Carter.
Forty years after the casual games at the student union, that's a lesson she knows well.

The FIA Formula One World Championship™ returns to the USA for the first time since 2007 this weekend, with the inaugural Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas. The 5.516-kilometre track is set in the Texan countryside outside Austin and features corner profiles similar to some of the most challenging complexes ever seen on the calendar, including the Suzuka Esses and Turn 8 from Istanbul Park.
There are also several gradient changes over a lap, particularly in sector one, which features a blind apex that will really push the drivers. Learning the track will be a challenge for the teams too, as well as their engine suppliers, as Renault - who power Red Bull, Lotus, Williams and Caterham - explain
As a new event on the calendar, Renault will use all the tools at their disposal, including computer simulation and engine dyno running, to prepare for the Grand Prix. More than double the time is spent testing engine maps on the dyno than would otherwise be the case for a normal race; so approximately four days of dyno running and simulations.
Simulations predict an average speed over one lap of 196 km/h during the race and just over 205 km/h during qualifying. There are two long straights but the average speed is lowered by the high volume of low-gear corners; eight of the 20 turns are taken in third gear or lower. This puts the Circuit of The Americas in a similar bracket to Valencia.
Similar to Abu Dhabi, the longest straight is not the pit straight, but rather the burst between Turns 11 and 12. The straight here is 1,016 metres, meaning Renaults RS27 engine will spend a touch over 13 seconds at wide open throttle. Top speed is predicted to be 314 km/h at the end of this straight and the engine will spend 2.5 seconds at maximum revs before braking for the hairpin of Turn 12.
The second long straight is the pit straight. Both straights run in different directions so correctly selecting seventh gear will depend on wind direction on the day. Selection for the one may compromise end-of-straight speed for the other, so ambient conditions will be carefully monitored throughout Friday practice to find the optimum ratio.
The track is similar in power sensitivity to Malaysia, with 57 percent of the lap taken at full throttle during the race, and just under 60 percent during qualifying. The predicted lap time is around 1m 39s.
Three hairpins triangulate the track; Turns 1, 11 and 12. Revs will drop to 9,500 rpm and the car speed to just 80 km/h. All three come after a long period of open throttle, meaning engine braking and rear stability on the apex are crucial. The exits and correct engine response from the hairpins are however equally important since they each lead back onto another straight.
Fuel consumption is one of the highest of a season over one lap, similar to Abu Dhabi. The lower temperatures of Austin offset its relatively high altitude and change of gradient, but low ambient humidity and the twisty first and last sectors where the driver is constantly on and off the throttle increase consumption. The starting fuel load will be one of the heaviest of the year, on a par with Abu Dhabi and Melbourne.
Going to a new track always presents a new set of challenges as we rely heavily on simulations conducted in the dyno and on various computer modelling software, says Remi Taffin, Renault Sport F1s head of track operations. The accuracy of the models is such that we can gauge starting gear ratios, fuel consumption over one lap and a basic torque map, but nuances such as the kerbing, the abrasiveness and the undulations of the track will all need to be assessed on site.
The first sector starts with a low-speed hairpin that will require good engine braking and response on the exit since it opens out to a flowing sequence of turns that have characteristics of the Maggotts-Becketts complex in Silverstone or the Esses in Suzuka. This turn is also blind, so the driver will need to feel the corner and have the confidence that the car will behave as he wants. The next sector will be a fantastic challenge for drivers, and also for engine engineers as this type of complex is the hardest to map! The average speed through this sector will be around 210 km/h in fifth or sixth gear with the revs no lower than 15,000 rpm. The internals of the engine will also be subject to high lateral g-forces as the driver rapidly switches direction.
A high percentage of sector two is given to the long straight, one of the longer straights on the calendar at just over a kilometre. Despite its length its one of the easier parts of this track; its sector three that is going to present the hardest challenge as it includes corners similar to the most challenging corners on the calendar; the stadium in Hockenheim and Turn 8 in Istanbul! This will be one of the sectors we will work the hardest on when we arrive.
What you cant see from the track map is that there is a lot of undulation change over the lap, very similar to India. This will put an extra strain on the engine internals as the lubricants rise and fall within the systems over the crests and dips, but we do not expect it to be a particular concern as we already have plenty of experience on this type of track from Spa and India this year.

Arizona Snowbowl wins second decision to make snow from reclaimed wastewater
Posted By Jason Blevins On February 20, 2012 @ 2:31 pm In Colorado Business,Colorado Tourism,Mountain Peek | 2 Comments
A federal appeals court last week decisively sided with the Forest Service and Arizona's Snowbowl ski area, ending a second appeal and possibly marking the final chapter in a winding, 10-year legal saga over the resort's push to use reclaimed wastewater for snowmaking.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals – ruling for the second time since 2007 – ruled the Forest Service had adequately examined potential health risks from using reclaimed sewer water for snowmaking in its environmental review of the resort's proposed project.
The court said the second lawsuit brought by environmental and Native American groups under the banner "Save the Peaks" was an abuse of the judicial process, noting that both the recent and 2007 lawsuits involved many of the same people and organizations.
"The circumstances surrounding the four-year delay are egregious," reads the court decision. "…We strongly believe that this lawsuit represents a serious abuse of the judicial process. The Navajo Nation Plaintiffs, in effect, got a second bite at the apple through their surrogates, the Save the Peaks Plaintiffs."
The 2007 lawsuit, brought by Native American tribes surrounding the high-desert ski area, argued that the reclaimed water on San Francisco Peaks violated their religious freedoms. The court of appeals rejected the claim and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case in 2009. The "Save the Peaks" lawsuit raised health and environmental concerns over the use of treated wastewater for making snow.
A final lawsuit filed in state court last August by Arizona's Hopi Tribe challenges the City of Flagstaff's plan to sell Snowbowl some 1.5 million gallons of reclaimed wastewater.
Still, after waiting nearly a decade to secure water for snowmaking, Arizona Snowbowl has cleared new runs and plans to begin making snow in November.

Nike is planning a new SHOX line of shoes. This new cushioning system doesn't necessarily incorporate Air technology but will be similar to springs. The polyurethane heel midsole will have pods that function similar to that of springs.
This line will be introduced this Fall-Holiday season. Kevin Garnett will be wearing the basketball shoes for the Olympics. There will be a Running, Cross Training and of course, Basketball shoe in this line.
This e-mail was sent to me and has not been 100% confirmed.
September 2, 1999
The Nike Sky Trainer comes out tomorrow (Sept. 3), and that may be a Foot Locker exclusive shoe. The Nike Howsyagame is very similar to the Nike Incredibly Strong from earlier this year. It has Nike air in the heel and an all leather upper.
August 25, 1999
These pictures are of the Nike Howsya. I have no information on this shoe at all, so any help would be appreciated.
1 | 2 | 3
These pictures courtesy of Nike Tek.
Six photos from all angles of the Gold Flightposites. It also seems that everyone has an opinion on these shoes, why don't some people send me shoe reviews on them with the pros and cons of this sneaker?

Two new pictures. The Air Jordan XV picture is from Boon magazine. The other picture, of the Air Crosstrainer (not sure if this is the official name, but in the catalog that's what it said) was designed by the same guy who does the Jordans. Please do not ask me for release dates on this shoe as I do not have any.

Six EXCLUSIVE pictures are being added for today. These include the Jordan 15 sketches, Jordan 15 catalog images, Jordan Trunner, Jumpman Select, Zoom GP II, and the Jordan Swift 6.
Of course I know that everyone will be taking these EXCLUSIVE images and placing them on their own site, so I hope that I receive the proper credit. Also I have tried to make the size of these images as small as possible without screwing up the quality of them, so they make take a minute to load. All these pictures are from the Nike catalogs, but first seen by the general public at Nike Park.

Air Tech Challenge 2 Mid white/black/pink 9. Air Force 1 Mid black/grey 10. Air Max Uptempo black/silver 11. Air Jordan 1 black/blue
Finally Nike does something right. Personally, I am looking forward to the Space Jam edition of the AJ 11.. will those be hard to find? You bet they will be, More information on this topic will surface in the coming months. More information can be found at Jersey Joe's site.
June 10, 1999
The Air Jordan 15 will deliver in December this year, with the second color coming in February around All Star Game weekend. There will a January delivery of Air Jordan 5 Retro, and in March the new Eddie Jones brand Jordan shoe will hit.
June 9, 1999
Nike is trying to sign Kobe Bryant for a shoe contract. Nike sent a specially made Flightposite to Kobe with purple and black trimming. It is one of Nike's top priorities to sign Kobe.
Allen Iverson's contract with Reebok is almost up too. Again, Nike is trying to sign Iverson, and maybe make him the next big member of Nike. Both Kobe's and Allen's shoes have not sold well with each of their companies.
Finally, Ray Allen may be getting a shoe contract with Nike to get his own signature shoe. Look for other big-name athletes to sign with the Jordan Brand.

And 3 things you should do about it
9 Findings from the Retirement Planning Survey
by Gary Foreman
Related Articles |
Will Mega-Millions Fund Your Retirement?
Will Boomers Have Enough to Retire? Fine with a Small Salary? |
The Employee Benefit Research Institute recently came out with their 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey. There are a number of interesting findings, especially for baby boomers and those thinking of retirement.
For instance, current workers' confidence in their ability to pay for basic expenses in retirement has dropped dramatically since 2007. At that time, 40 percent were very confident. Today only 16 percent are that sure.
Or consider workers confidence that they're doing a good job of preparing for retirement. In 2006, only 12 percent said "not at all." By 2013, that number had grown to 28 percent.
Workers also are expecting to work longer. Twenty years ago, fully 50 percent planned to retire before age 65. Today less than 1 in 4 expect to retire that young.
At the same time, half of those who are retiring report that it's happening sooner than they had planned. Fifty percent say it's due to health issues and another 21 percent cite the loss of their jobs.
There's also a big difference between workers and current retirees in their dependence on Social Security. Fully 69 percent of existing retirees say SS is a major source of their income. Only 14 percent of today's workers expect SS to play the same role for them.
The recession also appears to be affecting the number of workers who have money saved for retirement. Back in 2009, 75 percent said they had savings. Today that number has dropped 66 percent. The assumption would be that they consumed money saved for retirement for current expenses.
Age makes a difference in retirement savings, too. Workers between the ages of 35 and 54 are just as likely to be saving money as their counterparts 10 years ago. But among younger workers aged 25 to 34 the number saving for retirement has dropped from 70 percent to 55 percent. It was not cited in the study, but rising student loans could be a reason.
The amount saved could fall far short of what they'll need in retirement. Fully 60 percent report that they and their spouses have saved less than $25,000 for retirement (excluding their home and defined benefit pension plans). About half of them have saved less than $1,000!
Finally, less than half of the workers surveyed have done a calculation on how much money they'll need at retirement. Not surprisingly those who have done a calculation are more likely to have a higher target for savings.
So what can you do with this information? If you're among the 50+ percent that haven't calculated what you'll need for retirement, do it. The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors can point you to a fee only planner who can help with the calculation. Or you can use one of the many online calculators. A popular one is on the AARP site.
Next, create a savings plan that will get you to your retirement savings goal. Again, you'll want to use a fee only planner or online calculator to know how much you'll need to save each year.
Then make retirement savings part of your regular budget. It's not an afterthought. Something that you'll do only if you have money left over. Cut other expenses or seek another source of income if necessary.
Saving for retirement is not an option. According to the Social Security trustees, there are currently 2.7 people working for each person collecting benefits. And that ratio is gradually going down. So unless you're already up in years or plan on living in poverty, it's important to have and execute a retirement savings plan that's not totally dependent on Social Security.

Potato chip science is big business! The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) does some very important tests so that the food you eat—including potato chips—is accurately labeled. We may not have access to the FDA's expensive machines, but we can still do some pretty cool tests without them.
For this science fair project, let's assume you're a scientist working for the FDA and that you need to double-check the fat content (or "greasiness") of several brands of potato chips. If you don't have any specialized machines, then how do you find out how much grease your chips have?
One thing we could try is to simply mash up a potato chip and look at how much grease comes out. Paper absorbs grease really well, so we can use it as our "instrument" to help us quantify—or find a number that describes—how much grease is in an individual chip.
But wait a minute. Not all potato chips are the same size! Even chips from the same bag come in different sizes, and of course, different brands usually make differently sized chips. If we were to test a really big chip, we would get more grease than if we tested a small one, and this certainly wouldn't describe how much grease is in a single serving of chips very well. So what's a good way to determine how much grease is in your potato chips?
We can calculate a useful number known as an average to describe how much grease we have in our chips. We can find the average by adding together all of the grease we find divided by the number of chips we used to get that much grease.
How greasy are different brands of potato chips?
- Several bags of potato chips (different brands)
- Something to write with
- Rolling Pin
- Wax Paper, plastic wrap, or large sandwich bag
- Graph paper
- Tape
- Window
- Sunlight
- Find the serving size listed in the nutrition facts for each brand of chips.
- Write down the serving size for each brand. If we're trying to determine if a serving of one brand of chips is greasier than another, why do you think recording the serving size for each brand of chip is important?
- Find the total fat per serving for each brand of chips, in grams. Record this number.
- Pick a brand of chips. Count out a number of chips equal to the serving size for that brand. Make sure to pull chips randomly from the bag. Don't pick big or small ones, specifically. If we want to take an accurate average, why do you think this is important?
- Place the chips on a sheet of graph paper. Record the amount of chips you pulled out for this brand of chips.
- Lay the wax paper, plastic wrap, or large sandwich bag over the chips.
- Use this time to formulate your hypothesis. Which brand of chips do you think will be the greasiest?
- Roll over the chips several times with the rolling pin, making sure they're totally pulverized.
- Remove the graph paper and throw away the chips. Tape the graph paper to a window (or the surface of your school's overhead projector, if you have access to one).
- Count the number of squares that are translucent from the grease. (Hint: make a check mark in each square you're counting. You can use a pencil, pen, or grease pencil if you're marking the graph paper itself. If you're using an overhead projector, you can use a dry-erase marker to mark squares projected onto the whiteboard.) Only count squares that are ½ full or more. Record the number of squares you count for this brand.
- Repeat steps 4-10 for each brand.
- The average grease per serving size is simply the amount of squares you counted for each brand. To calculate the average grease per chip, divide squares counted by the number of chips tested. Record this number for all brands in your data chart.
- Draw a graph like the one below comparing the listed fat value per serving for each brand of chips and the number of squares you counted when you did the experiment. Does the data surprise you, or is it what you expected? What does it suggest about the accuracy of your measurements?

WWAYTV3 learned new details Monday on last week's deadly construction accident on the new Oak Island bridge.
A spokesperson for the Lee Construction Company tells us engineers are now determining how to get a suspended girder safely down to ground.
Officials are trying to determine just what happened which caused another girder to fall, killing one construction worker and hurting two others. The accident occurred at the site of the new bridge connecting Oak Island with Highway 211.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson says the funeral for Jose Montalvo, a father of three who was killed in that incident, will take place in his hometown of Sumter, South Carolina on Thursday.

Hundreds of rugby fans will descend on North Wootton tomorrow to watch the top two sides in Greene King Eastern Counties Division One lock horns at Gatehouse Lane.
A bumper crowd is expected for the mouth-watering match between league leaders West Norfolk and their main title rivals Newmarket, which starts at 3pm following a fixture between the clubs' under-13 sides (12.30pm). The hosts sit three points clear at the top, having played a game more than the Suffolk outfit, and can take a giant leap towards a return to London North-East Division Three with victory.
However, captain Lawrence Savage insists that the huge clash is too early in the season to be hailed as a championship-deciding fixture.
West's skipper said: "Newmarket go in as slight favourites, just edging us a little bit.
"I know we're sitting top at the moment but Newmarket have picked up a couple of extra bonus point wins earlier on in the season so if they were to win that would put them back on top spot.
"It's difficult to say that it's going to be like a 'be all, and end all game', this one because we do have some hard fixtures to come following that. For us personally, we've got Woodbridge away who ran Newmarket close the other week, Harwich away where we've not won for a couple of seasons, so there's still some tough games ahead."
West lost the reverse fixture 30-25, their only league defeat of the campaign, while Newmarket have also only tasted defeat once themselves. That was a shock loss to basement boys Broadland - Great Yarmouth.
However, both teams enjoyed contrasting fortunes at the weekend with West losing their Junior Vase fifth-round clash 17-7 at home to Battersea Ironsides while Newmarket hammered Old Walcountians 45-0.
Visiting boss Steve Drawbridge, who has previously managed Wisbech, said: "My ethos has always been that if we're succesful in a cup competition it means the league is looking after itself. I'm a great believer in winning is a habit.
"We're bringing two 50-seater coaches and there'll also be an awful lot of travelling support. We'll have way over 100 people with us, we have regular crowds of way over 200, and I know West certainly exceed that. They've always had very good support down there. I think it's just going to add to the whole occasion. Weather permitting, I think there's going to be a very large crowd down there."
Flying winger Jake Richardson is a massive doubt for West after damaging his knee ligaments at the weekend. Elsewhere in EC One, Swaffham, fourth, visit Crusaders.
For more build-up to the massive game, visit www.edp24.co.uk/wnsp tonight to hear a West Norfolk Sports Podcast rugby special.

Contract Law
By Roberto Dallafior and Simone Stebler
The article on contract law describes the formation of a contract under Swiss law, elaborates on enforcement and breach of contracts as well as on transfer and assignments of contractual claims and describes the most important special types of contracts, such as sales contracts, lease contracts, suretyships and guarantees, work contracts, service contracts, joint venture and license agreements. Where necessary to the understanding of the common law trained reader, differences between the common law and the civil law system in use in Switzerland are identified and described.
The article starts by identifying the main legal source of Swiss contract law, which is the Swiss Code of Obligations. The Swiss Code of Obligations is divided into a General Part and a Special Part. The former is applicable to all contracts and the latter contains rules about specific types of contracts, such as sales of goods or loans. It bears note, however, that not all contracts are specifically governed by the Code of Obligations and that according to the principle of freedom of contract the parties are free to enter into contracts of whatever content.
In terms of formation of contract, the article points out that under Swiss law a contract is formed by and based on the mutual assent of the contracting parties. This mutual assent is reached and evidenced by an offer of one party and its acceptance by the other party. Unlike the mirror-image rule in common law, Swiss contract law requires a mere assent to the essential elements of the contract. Only few formal requirements exist under Swiss contract law. Only contracts for the sale of real estate, executor contracts of donation and certain others need to be in writing and possibly need additional form requirements. A contract can be entered into through an agent or representative, if the duly authorized agent did act in the name of the represented party.
The article stresses that contracts are interpreted not only on the basis of their wording but also by taking into account the conduct of the parties, all the circumstances and the purpose of the transaction. According to the principle of reliance the conduct of the parties has to be interpreted from the point of view of a correct and reasonable business partner acting in good faith.
Under Swiss law a contracting party may avoid the contract when it made a mistake in declaring its intent or when it entered into the contract based on a mistake as to the basis of the contract. Swiss law also recognizes the voidability of a contract based on duress and fraud.
Once a contract formed, Swiss contract law sets forth rules for the performance and enforcement of contractual claims as well as for breach of contract, rescission and damage, which are elaborated in depth in the article.
It is worth mentioning that Swiss law not only permits enforcement of contracts without consideration but also permits the obligee to seek for specific performance. However, when certain conditions are met the obligee is free to substitute his claim for specific performance with a claim for damages.
The article on contract law pursues by describing the breach of contract, which is presumed as soon as the obligor fails to perform a principal contractual obligation, and the available remedies, such as a claim for specific performance and damages. Also addressed are the calculation of damages and the applicable standard of proof for damages and it is emphasized that Swiss contract law under certain limits permits contractual rules that limit the remedies for default and/or breach of contract.
Under Swiss law, contractual claims are time barred. The Swiss Code of Obligations recognizes a time limit of five years for certain contracts, such as contracts for rent or hire, and one of ten years for all other claims. In both cases, the time limit begins to run when the claim becomes due and under certain conditions both time bars can be interrupted or suspended.
As set out in the article, Swiss law allows the offset of claims if two persons owe each other a sum of money and if some other conditions are met. The Swiss Code of Obligations also provides rules for the transfer and assignment of contractual claims, which are explained more deeply in the article.
The article resumes by describing some important special types of contracts regulated by the Swiss Code of Obligations. First, the article addresses the sales contracts, which can be categorized into domestic and international sales contracts. Domestic contracts for the sale of goods are regulated in Articles 184 to 215 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. International sales contracts between parties whose places of business are in different countries are governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 1980, but only with regard to the formation of the contract and the rights and obligations of each party.
The second contract type addressed is the lease contract governed by Articles 251 to 274g of the Swiss Code of Obligations. A lease contract is a contract in which the lessor consents to transfer movable or immovable goods for use, and the lessee agrees to pay the rent. Not specifically regulated by the Swiss Code of Obligations are leasing contracts. However, courts and legal scholars have developed legal principles which govern this type of contract.
Third, the article elaborates on work contracts, which are specifically regulated in Articles 363 to 379 of the Code of Obligations. In these contracts, the contractor agrees to produce a work against remuneration. The term work is construed in a broad sense and includes work of physical, intellectual, artistic or scientific nature.
The fourth type of contract addressed in the article is the mandate or service contract, which is as well regulated in the Code of Obligations. The main characteristic of these contracts is the agreement of the service provider, such as a lawyer or physician, to carry out the contractually agreed services. A compensation is only payable if agreed or customary and a service contract can be terminated by each party at any time.
Fifth, the article proceeds with an overview over the two means of securing the performance of a third party which are the suretyship and guarantee. The article describes the strict form and other requirements for a suretyship to be valid and explains the various types of suretyships, which are governed in Articles 495 to 498 of the Code of Obligations. In contrast to suretyship, no form requirement must be met for a guarantee to be valid. The article addresses the often occurring difficulties in deciding whether a security is to be construed as a guarantee or as a suretyship and points out that the construction primarily depends on the intent of the parties and the purpose of the contract.
The sixth type of contracts addressed is the contractual joint venture governed by Articles 530 to 551 of the Code of Obligations. Under Swiss law, contractual joint venture exists, if at least two persons pursue a common purpose with common efforts or means, provided that no other form of organization regulated by the Code of Obligations applies. In order to establish a contractual joint venture no formal procedure needs to be followed and there are no legal requirements as to the minimum capital or management structure. The rights and obligations of the parties to the joint venture are described in detail in the article.
Finally, the article concludes with a short overview over the license agreement, which is not specifically governed by the Code of Obligations and by which the licensor concedes to the licensee the use and utilization of an intellectual property right or technical or commercial trade secrets.
