Not a lot of comity on the House education panel, members split on how to rewrite law
While Democrats and Republicans in the Senate hold daily negotiations over a new federal education law, things are far more strained between the parties on the House side. As the House focuses on an updated version of the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act, Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), the ranking member on the House committee on Education and the Workforce, sent a written request to Chairman John Kline (R-Minn.) to hold hearings.Read full article >>

Strauss: How schools ruined recess — and four things needed to fix it
A post I published last summer by pediatric occupational therapist Angela Hanscom, titled "Why so many kids can't sit still in school today," continues to be popular today, as are two other related posts of hers, "The right — and surprisingly wrong — ways to get kids to sit still in class" and "A therapist goes to middle school and tries to sit still. She can't. Neither can the kids." Here is the fourth in her occasional series on movement in classrooms. Hanscom is the founder of TimberNook, a nature-based development program designed to foster creativity and independent play outdoors in New England.Read full article >>
Georgia State student art project shut down an Atlanta highway and evacuated a nearby downtown. Whoops!
If the goal of art is to disrupt, to shake people out of their routines, force onlookers to stop and think, then these Georgia State students really (albeit inadvertently) nailed it. Their class assignment shut down an Atlanta highway for almost three hours on Monday, when police responded to a report of a suspicious package affixed to a major bridge, sealed off the area and blew it up.Read full article >>

Strauss: Inside a segregated Nashville school at the collision of race and sports in the '60s
Before he made history as the first African American basketball player in the Southeastern Conference (at Vanderbilt in the late 1960s), Perry Wallace was valedictorian of the Class of 1966 at Pearl High School. A source of tremendous pride in segregated Nashville, Tenn., Pearl was known for excellence in the classroom and on the basketball court. This excerpt from "Strong Inside," a new biography on Wallace (who is now a professor of law at American University in Washington D.C.), offers a look inside the mid-1960s halls of the brick, art-deco-style building in North Nashville. This is excerpted from "Strong Inside: Perry Wallace and the Collision of Race and Sports in the South," by Andrew Maraniss, published by Vanderbilt University Press, 2014. Maraniss, who can be reached through his website, tweets @trublu24. He will be speaking about his book on Wednesday, Feb. 4, in Atlanta at an event marking Black History Month.

Strauss: The ticket to longevity
Most of the posts on this blog deal with preK-12 and higher education, but there is another entire area of the education world that is just as important — adult ed. In the following piece, Iris Krasnow, an assistant professor in the School of Professional and Extended Studies at American University in Washington D.C., writes about her own transition from teaching undergraduates to teaching courses for older women and why lifelong learning is vital — even for people in their '90s. Krasnow is the author of six books, which can be found on her website.Read full article >>
University for Life? Council member proposes renaming UDC after Marion Barry
There's already a Barry University. (It's in Miami.) But the world doesn't have a Marion Barry University.Yet.If D.C.

He was known for his civil-rights record, his loyalty to his constituents, his help getting District residents jobs; he was also vividly remembered for his conviction for cocaine possession while serving as the city's mayor.Read full article >>

All eight members of the board turned out, along with Starr and a few board spokesmen.Read full article >>

Arlington schools recognized for green energy usage
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized Arlington's school system for its use of green energy, noting that about 10 percent of the electricity it used was generated by wind or the sun.Among the schools that participate in the Green Power Partnership, a voluntary program with the EPA, Arlington, Va., ranked second nationally for green energy usage from mid-2013 to mid-2014. The agency defines green power as power generated by wind, solar, geothermal or other sources that have low impact on the environment. The district used 4.7 million kilowatts of green power during that period, some of it purchased from Dominion Virginia Power and some of it generated by solar panels installed at several schools.Read full article >>

Strauss: Ten things you need to know about international assessments
Every now and then results from one international assessment or another come out and the United States inevitably winds up somewhere in the middle. There is a great hue and cry about what this means for the future of American democracy (nothing good) and public education is blamed (along with good-for-little teachers). The only solution is to speed up the current smorgasbord of school reforms, the irony being that neither they, nor their predecessor reforms, did anything to improve the U.S. ranking on these international tests. So what are we to make of all of this? James Harvey, executive director of the National Superintendents Roundtable, tells us in this post. Harvey's Seattle University dissertation was the basis of "School Performance in Context: The Iceberg Effect," which is available free on the web pages of both the Horace Mann League, an organization that works to strengthen public schools, and the National Superintendents Roundtable.Read full article >>
Economist: Send Obama's free-community-college idea back to the drawing board

Strauss: Progressive labels for regressive practices: How key terms in education have been co-opted
Words matter. As Arthur H. Camins noted here, the words accountability, no-excuses and choice have "been claimed and defined by currently powerful policy makers and associated with their values." Thus accountability language evokes the authority of the powerful to direct others to improve education, but not shared responsibility. And "no excuses language evokes blaming teachers, administrators, students and their parents for disappointing outcomes, while deflecting attention from the need to address systemic issues, such as the burden of poverty on children's lives and inequitable school funding." In the following posts, Alfie Kohn expands on this theme. Kohn (www.alfiekohn.org) is the author of 13 books, the most recent titled "The Myth of the Spoiled Child: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom About Children and Parenting." This post, which I am publishing with permission, appeared on Kohn's website.Read full article >>
Strauss: When getting deferred from college is a gift
This is the sixth post in a continuing series about a high school senior attempting to navigate through the college admissions process. She is Samantha Fogel, a student at The Derryfield School, a private college preparatory day school for grades six through twelve in Manchester, New Hampshire. Samantha and her college counselor, Brennan Barnard, are documenting her application process in a series of occasional posts that include the voices of her parents, teachers, friends and others. Her story may help debunk some myths surrounding selective college admission while providing a window into a time of transition for one young woman growing up in rural New Hampshire.Read full article >>

IMPD: 'Elderly' woman shot on city's north side
3rd person still sought
INDIANAPOLIS - A shooter opened fire on a metro police officer and a woman was shot in the arm in a north-side incident Thursday afternoon.
Indianapolis police (IMPD) said the shooting happened in the 3300 block of North Guilford Avenue just before 4:30 p.m.
When officers responded to reports of shots fired, a man pointed a gun and shot at an officer. IMPD said the officer did not return fire and was not injured. The man ran away and as police were searching for him, they received word a woman had been shot.
Police said Sally Lisenby, 87, was shot in the arm while she was sitting on her porch. She was taken to Eskenazi Health and was said to be in good condition.
Officers said they received tips and information from neighbors in the area and were able to narrow their search down to two people of interest.
Police said an unnamed 17-year-old juvenile was arrested.
Friday afternoon, police arrested a second suspect -- the juvenile's brother -- named Shaun White, 19. The two were being held on attempted murder charges.
Officials said neighbors told them there had been an ongoing dispute between juveniles in the area.
"My sister and I were both taking our afternoon naps, we're getting to be old girls, and we both just wake up and count gunshots whenever gunshots happen and it wasn't fireworks, it wasn't automatic gunfire, but it was more than a dozen shots and it's a dozen too many for my neighborhood at four o'clock in the afternoon, it's real disturbing," neighbor Laurie Proffitt said.
Police are looking for a third person who might have been involved and who might possibly be injured.
Investigators said the third person might have been arguing with the brothers, prompting the shooting.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS. Anonymous tips can also be submitted online at crimetips.org or by texting "INDYCS" plus tip information to 274627.

A's rule out Brett Anderson for regular season
Sep 20, 2012, 6:29 PM EDT
It was a given that Brett Anderson would miss at least one start after suffering a strained right oblique during his outing Wednesday, but manager Bob Melvin dropped the bad news Thursday that the left-hander was done for at least the regular season.
Anderson entered Wednesday's outing 4-1 with a 1.93 ERA in five starts since returning from Tommy John surgery. He'd be the third member of the A's projected postseason rotation to be lost for the year, joining the suspended Bartolo Colon and the injured Brandon McCarthy. The team has also been without left-hander Dallas Braden all season long.
If Anderson can't make it back, the A's would be looking at a top four of Jarrod Parker, Tommy Milone, A.J. Griffin and probably Daniel Straily in the postseason. Everyone in that group is a rookie.
The A's beat the Tigers 12-4 today, leaving them four games up on the Angels for the second wild card with the Halos playing later tonight. They're 3 1/2 games back of the Rangers for first place in the AL West.
- chill1184 - Sep 20, 2012 at 6:43 PM
Better safe than sorry
- ajcardsfan - Sep 21, 2012 at 9:50 AM
That's a lot of pressure on their rookies, but look at it this way, really good experience for them. So when the A's normal rotation gets healthy, they'll have some depth.

TORONTO Bank of Montreal got the banking sector's first-quarter earnings season off to a bang, delivering surprisingly strong revenue and a profit that remained above $1 billion — beating analyst estimates.
Analysts had estimated about $958 million in adjusted profit, the equivalent of $1.48 per share.
Instead, BMO beat that by four cents per share with $1.041 billion of adjusted net income — up $69 million or seven per cent from a year earlier.
The bank's revenue and net income were also well above consensus estimates compiled by Thomson Reuters.
Chief executive Bill Downe says all of the bank's major divisions in Canada and the United States — where it operates under the BMO Harris Bank brand — performed well during the three-month period, which ended Jan. 31.
"Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to leverage our North American platform and deliver sustained earnings growth," Downe said in a statement.
The bank also said its quarterly dividend will be going up, rising by two cents to 74 cents per share.
Analysts had expected most of Canada's big banks would hike their dividends and report strong first-quarter earnings. But they were also cautious about how they'll fare in the months ahead, particularly at their Canadian retail operations.
Bank of Montreal is the first of its peers to report first-quarter earnings.
The bank's total revenue for the quarter was down slightly from a year earlier, falling by one per cent to $4.08 billion from $4.12 billion. The consensus estimate had been for revenue to fall further to $3.9 billion.
Net income, before adjustments, also fell — dropping by five per cent to $1.048 billion from $1.109 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The consensus estimate had been for $923.6 million or $1.45 of net income.
There were signs of weakness elsewhere in the report, however.
Provisions for credit losses increased to $178 million from $141 million. Return on equity dropped to 14.9 per cent from 17.2 per cent and adjusted ROE was 14.8 per cent, down from 15 per cent a year earlier.

my musical mind: Nick Carter
When Backstreet Boy Nick Carter isn't busy touring around the world with his BSB BFFs, he's branching off into the world of his solo career. Remember Now Or Never with his single "Help Me" in 2002? Released internationally this year, almost 10 years post Now Or Never, Nick's back in the solo pop game with his electro-charged record I'm Taking Off. Compared to his first release, I'm Taking Off reflects an older, wiser Nick Carter that has grown up musically and lyrically.
Nick's always been one of our fave Backstreet Boys (how can you choose just one?), and we've fallen a little harder for him due to his silly, personable, character-filled Twitter profile. A self-proclaimed video game nerd (check out his Twitpic), even though Nick has matured in his music, he's still a kid at heart — and we can't help but love it. Check out Nick Carter's My Musical Mind survey below (love the self portrait, Nick!):

Phil Jackson on Tonight Show with Jay Leno
May 17, 2013, 5:06 PM EDT
Phil Jackson has a book to sell — "11 Rings" out May 21 (so he doesn't count the two as a player with the Knicks?) — so you're going to see a lot of him in your media space ver the next few weeks. The man knows how to be a salesman.
As part of that he went on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday and talked about the book, about the Lakers with Mike D'Antoni and the fit there (he doesn't see it, either), how he doesn't really want to coach, plus how Shaq once came to practice naked… and another Shaq story.
Plus there was this amusing open with Adam Sandler….
- ProBasketballPundit - May 17, 2013 at 5:26 PM
So he has 13 rings including his playing days with the Knicks and let's not forget his first coaching title with the 1984 Albany Patroons of the CBA… maybe they don't give out rings though.
- fanofevilempire - May 17, 2013 at 5:30 PM
yeah, they never count the first two for some reason.
he did show for the 73 team reunion, bought Jeannie too.
Clyde was talking about it on msg.
- fanofevilempire - May 17, 2013 at 5:27 PM
this will be fun, poor Jeannie, she probably feels bad
every time the Zen Master sticks it to her bro.
- ProBasketballPundit - May 17, 2013 at 5:36 PM
If we count Phil Jackson's championship rings as a player then must we not also count Bill Russell's 2 rings as a player-coach? Meaning he actually gets credit for 4 rings for those two seasons. That would give Bill Russell 13.
- fanofevilempire - May 17, 2013 at 5:55 PM
bling is bling, count them all.
- badintent - May 17, 2013 at 11:31 PM

- dyn0myte - May 18, 2013 at 12:56 AM
There have been many great players in the NBA.
Not all great players have won championships.
Every great player that Phil Jackson has coached has achieved that goal.
What else is there to say…
- davidly - May 18, 2013 at 9:08 AM
I agree mostly, in that it was him coming to LA that got O'Neal and Bryant theirs, and then Bryant again when he came back (a lot of people are not aware how much he had to build that second team; they weren't ready to win when he returned).
There is a caveat, though: he didn't get one for Karl Malone or Gary Payton, and the latter went on to win one with Riley.

You Have To Admire Lady Gaga's Professionalism
Lady Gaga isn't any more talented than a dozen other female singers, she just happened upon the idea of wearing clothes and it caught on. Nice idea, but that doesn't make her a great musician. Additionally, like most celebrities who dip into politics, she has an ego like an elephant and a brain like a mouse.
Still, you have to give credit where credit is due. Gaga isn't the sort of pampered diva who'd let a little puking stop her from putting on a good show.
The pop star was in the middle of performing her hit song "Edge of Glory" when she paused and bent over to vomit, with her back to the crowd. Literally seconds later, Gaga was back to dancing and singing. Many in the crowd probably didn't even notice that it happened.
Moments later in the video, Gaga can be seen bending over to throw up again. Then she pukes for a third time seconds later, each time getting right back to her routine with ease.
"Was praying nobody saw but actually its quite a good laugh if u need one!" Gaga tweeted after the show.
Lady Gaga may not be one of your favorite people, but that kind of professionalism you've just got to admire.

Iona says first MAAC title since '01 'nothing to celebrate'
Feb 25, 2012, 11:46 AM EDT
Iona's 77-72 win against Fairfield Friday night earned the Gaels their first regular-season Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title in more than a decade, something that won't surprise anyone who's seen them play this season.
Iona (23-6, 14-3) features two guys who have shot at making NBA rosters in point guard Scott Macado and forward Mike Glover, not to mention shooting guard Momo Jones, who was a key part of Arizona's run to the Elite Eight last season. Throw in sophomore Sean Armand – who scored all 17 of his points vs. Fairfield in the second half, 15 of which in a 5-minute span – and Iona has enough talent to run away with the league title and win an NCAA tournament game.
Yet a few puzzling losses in which Iona blew double-digit leads to Siena and Manhattan kept things close until the last few weeks.
Maybe that's why Iona didn't pop any bubbly Friday night (metaphorically speaking; some guys aren't 21). They expected this.
"There's nothing to celebrate," Armand said. "We did what we were supposed to do, we were preseason No. 1. We felt like we should be No. 1 and that's what we did. So now we're going to go to Springfield (for the MAAC Tournament) and we'll go from there."
Machado agreed with Armand's take on the lack of celebration.
"Like Sean said, we were predicted to be No. 1 and felt like we were supposed to be No. 1 so this is just the beginning. We want something bigger than this."
Something bigger would be Iona's second-ever NCAA tournament win. The Gaels have been to the Big Dance eight times, but their only win came back in 1980 vs. Holy Cross. The coach? None other than Jim Valvano, who would win an NCAA title just a few years later with N.C. State.
That'd be quite the feat for Tim Cluess to match.

Slade back in action
ESPNscrum Staff
July 2, 2011
Slade played the first half of Canterbury's victory over North Otago © Getty Images
All Blacks hopeful Colin Slade made a successful return to club rugby as Canterbury retained the Ranfurly Shield with a 52-8 victory over North Otago on Saturday.
The 23-year-old safely negotiated a solid 40 minutes of game-time as his side overwhelmed their rivals in a pre-season rugby match at Rugby Park in Christchurch. Despite being out for much of the Super Rugby season after breaking his jaw twice playing for the Highlanders, Slade was picked for this week's All Blacks training camp, indicating he was still in the frame for World Cup selection as back-up to first choice fly-half to Dan Carter.
Slade showed good control in his all-round game in the pivot's position and did not shirk defensive duties as Canterbury took a comfortable 26-3 lead at halftime. Their points came through tries to fullback Johnny McNicholl, captain and blindside flanker Ash Parker, openside flanker Brendon O'Connor and halfback Willie Heinz with second-five Tom Taylor converting the latter three. North Otago's points came from a Ben Patston penalty.
Canterbury scored another four tries in the second half through substitute midfielder Kolio Hifo, left wing Patrick Osborne, Taylor and McNicholl. North Otago, making their 11th challenge for the shield, scored a consolation try with seven minutes to go through substitute prop Rob Mafileo.

BOLIVIA — Three new jurors have been chosen in the murder trial of a 29-year-old man accused of killing a 3-year-old Shallotte boy more than three years ago.

For four days, Assistant District Attorney Lee Bollinger and Murray's lawyer, James Payne, conducted extensive questioning with potential jurors in the case.

Both animals were checked by a local large-animal veterinarian, according to a news release issued Wednesday, March 25, by sheriff's office spokeswoman Emily Flax.

SHALLOTTE — West Brunswick senior Chase Hill has signed a letter of intent to play soccer for Methodist University.
For Hill, the university is a right blend for his major (business management) and soccer.
"It would be the best fit for me getting the best undergraduate education possible and having the best career in college soccer," he said.
Hill said the coaching staff showed interest in him early in his junior year, when he attended some camps.

Here is a fern that you won't see unless you are way down on the ground, at least on your hands and knees, or better yet, crawling around in the grass. It is only a few inches tall, emerging from the ground in the late winter and early spring. It is one of those tiny little plants that is really delightful, but not very well known. You can find it pushing out of the ground right now, usually in open lawns, roadsides and grassy ditches.
Daylight Saving Time, aka DST, seemed to dawn especially early this year.
I know for a fact the March 8 "spring ahead" time changeover had an impact and less-than-appreciated effects on people and animals alike.
I overslept at least two days and missed the morning headline news and one of my cups of coffee.
A local official I work with experienced a bout of brain fog, attributed to the time change.
My sister missed this year's DST changeover completely, and perhaps blissfully, for the first 24 hours.

An auctioneer says one of Apple's first computers - a functioning 1976 model - has been sold for a record 516,000 euros ($668,000).
An auctioneer says one of Apple's first computers – a functioning 1976 model – has been sold for a record 516,000 euros ($668,000).
German auction house Breker said Saturday an Asian client, who asked not to be named, bought the so-called Apple 1, which the tech company's founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built in a family garage.
Breker claims it is one of only six known remaining functioning models in the world. Breker already sold one last year for 492,000 euros.
It says the computer bears Wozniak's signature. An old business transaction letter from the late Jobs also was included.

Top drug-searching K-9 shot by animal control
The dog had attacked a woman in her 70s
By Don Jacobs
Knoxville News Sentinel
CAMPBELL COUNTY, Tenn. — Before Elko was killed with a blast from a shotgun aimed by a Campbell County animal control officer, the Knoxville police dog had uncovered 125 pounds of pot, more than a thousand grams of cocaine and flushed out 21 suspected felons from attics, woods, sheds and drain pipes.
Elko is the 5-year-old Belgian Malinois killed June 9 with a single blast to the chest from a 12-gauge shotgun in the Jacksboro area of Campbell County. The dog had attacked a woman in her 70s in the garage of her home after she tried to scare it away.

Diego Sanchez vs. Gilbert Melendez Fight Shows Different Career Paths
Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez did exactly what Dana White hoped they would do at UFC 166. They put on a 15-minute fight that showed how talented Melendez is, and he won. For Sanchez, he got a bonus for a fight that he wasn't supposed to win, and White needed him to lose.
Sanchez, who once fought for the lightweight title, has moved onto a different stage in his career. He is the Roy Nelson of the 155-pound division. His job is to fight against more talented fighters and get beat up for 15 minutes, but make sure the fight goes the distance. White loves to show off his talented fighters right before they get a title shot to build up a fan base.
Nelson was thrown in the Octagon against Junior Dos Santos, Frank Mir and recently Daniel Cormier for one reason — to get beat up but entertain the crowd. All three of those fights went to decision and Nelson lost them all unanimously. Every once in a while, the UFC throws him a bone and lets him fight Matt Mitrione and Dave Herman to keep him relevant, but his job is to lose exciting fights.
Five of Sanchez's last eight fights have won Fight of the Night. He is always entertaining, and the only time he has ever been stopped is because of a cut against B.J. Penn in the fifth round of their title fight. 14 of his 19 UFC fights have gone to decision, including 10 in a row. When Sanchez fights, you know it is going all three rounds and that fans will love it.
This gave Melendez a chance to show his skill set to the UFC fans for a full 15 minutes against an inferior opponent. The quality of entertainment the fight provided will give him the backing for a title shot against the winner between Anthony Pettis and Josh Thomson.
White has to love the way this has played out because Melendez has a longtime rivalry with Thomson. They have fought three times and all three have gone to decision, with Melendez winning the last two. Pettis is 2-0 against Ben Henderson, so a third fight isn't likely. If Pettis wins, Melendez will provide a brand new challenger for him, and White can move Jose Aldo up to 155 and have him fight Henderson in a no. 1 contender match.
The only guy that loses in this is T.J. Grant. He was named the no. 1 contender after knocking out Gray Maynard, but an injury took him out of the fight and Pettis took his place. Grant was supposed to fight Pettis in December, but after suffering a concussion in training, White replaced him with Thomson. Grant has only beaten one top-10 fighter in the division and may end up missing his opportunity to fight for the title.
The amount of talent in the lightweight division makes it the most competitive in the UFC. This division has improved more than any others with the guys from Strikeforce coming over, and the UFC will be able to mix and match fights for the next couple of years.

Employment law needs to change in the wake of the Mainzeal collapse to protect contractors - and reflect the country's changing labour landscape, says an employment law specialist.
Auckland employment lawyer Max Whitehead, principal of the Whitehead Group, said the law needed changing to give contractors and sub-contractors some recourse if their main contract went under or the relationship irretrievably broke down, leaving them out of pocket.
He said that where 20 or 30 years ago most of New Zealand's workforce was employed by large corporations, today 97 per cent of the companies here were small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and increasingly using contract workers.
"More and more people are being made redundant and then re-hired as contractors," he said.
"At the moment contractors don't have the full protection of employment law if something untoward happens."
With the workplace model increasingly moving towards a contracting labour force it's time to take a another look at employment law to see if it fits that model, Whitehead said.
"The distinction between employers and contractors needs to be examined closely," he said.
Andrew Crisp, deputy chief executive of infrastructure and resource markets for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), said good evidence would be needed that any regulatory solution to protect sub-contractors addressed the problems and did not create unnecessary costs or other issues.
He said there were already some legal mechanisms available for contractors in the Construction Contracts Act which provided processes to ensure timely payment to contractors and sub-contractors.
Further amendments to the bill were also before Parliament, including broadening the definition of construction work and allowing more direct enforcement of determinations about rights and obligations.
New Zealand Contractors Federation CEO Jeremy Sole said the passing of the Construction Contracts Act in 2002 went a long way to providing SME contractors with protection - but it was also important to educate contractors on the steps they needed to take to protect themselves under the law.
"Some of these things should be common knowledge in the industry but we still have trouble even getting subbies and contractors to use formal contracts," he said.
Sole said the dilemma for sub-contractors in tight economic times was that they didn't want to turn down work.
"It's a difficult thing because in the current climate if some work pops up you want to be able to take it so you can keep your house, or keep your equipment, and keep your employees going," he said.
"Subbies are more likely to take risks in the current market than they would at other times, even though things are also more risky."
His advice on ways sub-contractors and contractors can protect themselves includes:
- Submit your invoices or payment claims as spelled out in the Act, or you'll have no statutory protection at all.
- When you have gear, especially if it's substantial gear such as excavators, set up a personal property agreement, which you can do online for about $5 without involving anybody else. This is a register of personal property so should a liquidator be called in they won't be able to say "we'll have that please". BUT the document expires after 12 months, at which point you need to remove the item from site, bring it back and re-register it.
- Use a credit reporting agency like Veda to check your clients' credit history and performance.

No-Carve Ribbon Pumpkin
Use ribbons and rick-rack to lend some style to a plain ol' pumpkin. Choose traditional seasonal colors or try a more modern combo of brights.
To make a fashion-forward pumpkin, try this. Decorating for Halloween is always a favorite time of the year at my house, and I've got a great idea on how you can decorate your pumpkins without spending a lot of time. Now, these adorable pumpkins are so easy to make, and what you'll need is some rickrack, and some variety of fun-patterned ribbons, a hot glue gun, and of course, a pumpkin. You're gonna need a pumpkin. To begin, you're gonna take one end of your ribbon, and I'm gonna use this fun zigzag, and you're gonna take you're hot glue gun. And you're just gonna put a little dab underneath the stem of your pumpkin, like that, and then, place your ribbon. So now, once the glue has set, you're just gonna take your ribbon and run it down the length of your pumpkin. And you're just gonna run it all the way down to the bottom, like this. And then, you wanna make sure it's nice and tight 'cause you don't want it to hang loosely once you're done with your pumpkin. And then, get your hot glue gun out, put it down on the bottom of your pumpkin, stretch the ribbon nice and tight, and press it firmly into place. And just let it sit there for a little bit. Last step is just to take your scissors and snip off the end. Just like that. Now, as you're adding your ribbon, you wanna alternate the patterns and colors, and try to space them evenly all the way around the pumpkin. And you know, that's actually pretty easy to do because pumpkins naturally have these ribs, and you can just follow them. Now, I think these would be great to display on the front porch to great your guest, or you can use it as a centerpiece on your fall table, or you can even tuck 'em in a windowsill with a few candles. It's a way to show your stripes on your Halloween pumpkin.

brand vs. brand
Posted by Mark J. Miller on April 3, 2012 05:01 PM
Guess is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month with the return of Claudia Schiffer in a new campaign (at right). But there's one front on which the brand's iconic model can't help out.
The American denim giant, started by the French-born Marciano brothers (Paul and Maurice, now co-chairmen and -CEOs) in 1982, is tangling in court with a sexy Italian: Gucci.
The brands are squaring off in a battle that's been raging between them for years. The way Gucci lawyer Louis Ederer sees it, Guess is working a "massive, complicated scheme to knock off Gucci's best-known and iconic designs," according to Bloomberg. Guess, as you might guess, begs to differ.
The claim is that Guess has infringed on four Gucci trademarks, the Huffington Post notes: "the green and red stripe; the interlocking "G" pattern; the square 'G' and the brand name's delicate script font." And this infringement didn't just occur on one or two products, the suit claims. It was on, Gucci claims, $221 million worth of products.Continue reading...

The Netherlands-based Clean Clothes Campaign, the garment industry's largest alliance of labor unions and non-governmental organizations, has already convinced apparel retailers and designers including Armani, Versace, Gucci, H&M and Levi Strauss & Co to ban sandblasted jeans for endangering workers' lives.
As the CCC's website details, giving denim that "lived in" look by high-pressured sandblasting contaminates the air and can contribute to silicosis, a fatal lung disease. Now Target has announced it is joining the global ban on the technique; find out more in the budget retailer's blog post. Still under pressure by labor activists to join the ban: Dolce & Gabbana.
Below, watch a Levi Strauss video featuring chief supply chain officer David Love marking the company's first anniversary of no-sandblasting last September.Continue reading...

luxury watch
Posted by Barry Silverstein on December 22, 2011 02:02 PM
Most consumer retail brands may have been battered by an economy in which said consumers are increasingly stingy with their money, but luxury brands have continued to make headway. While luxury products are not completely immune to an economic downturn, they have certainly weathered the storm better than most. That's because these are the brands that appeal to the upper echelon consumer who recognizes quality and is willing to pay for it.
But even in the luxury category, there are winners and losers, relatively speaking, which is something the Luxury Institute, a global research and CRM consulting company, studies quite carefully. The Luxury Institute analyzed more than five years of data from its surveys on dozens of luxury goods and services categories in an effort to identify "best practitioners" that have consistently scored above their competitors.
In handbags, a leading luxury category, the Institute found that "one brand stood alone in owning several critical metrics for brand vibrancy five years in a row." That brand is Coach.Continue reading...

lap of luxury
Posted by Mark J. Miller on December 19, 2011 10:07 AM
Residents of Korea are moving on up and want a piece of the pie. And 7-Eleven would like to help them out.
The luxury goods market is booming in Korea, with sales growing "at least 12% to an estimated $4.5 million last year, according to a report by McKinsey & Company in August," the Wall Street Journal reports.
With that kind of money floating around, everybody is getting into the act of selling luxury goods, even places that you don't generally associate with such things, like 7-Eleven.
Seoul's home of the Slurpee tested the sale of luxury goods during the Korean thanksgiving holiday in September by offering eight lines of Gucci goods at its stores there, the Journal reports. Now the chain is figuring out what other luxury goods it should offer for a limited time.Continue reading...

She hired Jennifer Lopez, hit New York Fashion Week with Gucci in tow, put JLo in a Gucci-wrapped Fiat car, and even put a Fiat on stage with JLo in what's been called the most "brazen" product placement in some time. Fiat North America head Laura Soave also oversaw launch marketing for the 2012 Fiat 500 that channeled Elvis Presley, brought drive-in movies, bocce and espresso to Times Square and other cities — but none of it sold the new 500 in the U.S. market the way that Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne had hoped.
So on Monday Marchionne ousted Soave and named a new head of the Fiat brand for North America: Timothy Kuniskis, who was director of marketing for Chrysler and Fiat brands and now replaces Soave as head of Fiat North America. Soave, meanwhile, is leaving the company "other interests," the company stated in that favorite of corporate euphemisms.Continue reading...
