The battle of the brands in Christchurch
Relevant offers
All Blacks
The All Blacks and All Whites arrive in Christchurch from tomorrow. TONY SMITH takes a peek at the teams behind the teams - the sponsors.
The Big Brands are coming to Christchurch.
The All Blacks and the All Whites may intermingle if Richie McCaw and his rugby mates accept an invite to watch Ryan Nelsen and his team play Tahiti in Tuesday's World Cup football qualifier at AMI Stadium.
But there's fat chance of their chief sponsors, adidas, who back the All Blacks, and Nike, whose trademark swoosh adorns the All Whites shirts, sharing the footballers' fraternity.
As one sports marketing and sponsorship insider quipped this week: "There's more chance of [US Republican presidential candidate] Mitt Romney taking a family holiday in Tehran than there is of Nike and adidas having a joint promotion."
Twenty years ago, this story wouldn't have seen the light of day in a metropolitan newspaper's sports pages. Professional sport back then was something played almost exclusively overseas, save a few pin money payments for pints, petrol, pies and chips.
The sports media would have resiled or revolted at anything remotely resembling commercial promotion. Rugby, football, cricket, rugby league, track and field and even netball is now as much about business and entertainment as sport.
However, already this week, we've seen world sport's greatest superstar, Jamaica's six-time Olympic Games sprint gold medallist Usain Bolt flash into Auckland for a couple of Gatorade promotions.
Television networks and newspapers fell over themselves to run fawning footage of Bolt hamming it up with basketball's Breakers and coaching a clutch of Kiwi track tyros with Gatorade's garish big G splashed across their T-shirts.
Elsewhere in Auckland, motor car makers Audi got great mileage when the Giltrap Motors dealership and sponsor Banklink gave away new vehicles to New Zealand Olympic gold medallists.
Bolt's visit was more about promoting sports drinks than an altruistic desire to boost Kiwi athletics.
But the kids hand-picked for his "coaching" clinic probably couldn't care less how he got here.
Purists once would have coughed into their pints at such sycophantic coverage. Old Journalists Union chapel "fathers"would have flipped off their green eye-shades and shouted "Stop-work meeting" at fellow ink-stained newsroom wretches.
Back in the pre-professional sport era, companies cashing in on sporting achievers' coat-tails had to pay for an advertisement. Leverage meant dexterously prising off a bottle cap to get at the after-match ale.
How times change. A former New Zealand prime minister once noted politicians and journalists had the same sort of symbiotic relationship as a dog and a lamp-post.
Sport and business need each other. Without punters buying Sky Television subscriptions and big backers like adidas swelling New Zealand Rugby Union coffers, our top All Blacks might not be playing rugby in New Zealand.
Ryan Nelsen might not have had an opportunity to play premier league football without the commercial clout English clubs get from their multi-billion dollar television rights deals.
And if Nelsen hadn't played in the premier league, would the All Whites have got to the 2010 World Cup finals and earned a near-$10 million bonanza?
Conversely (no pun intended), sponsors benefit from reflected glory. Adidas might not shift as much sportswear in New Zealand if the All Blacks weren't World Cup champions. Nike sold out of All Whites shirts when Nelsen's men made the trek to South Africa.
The numbers are dizzying. No sports body worth its salt ever divulges individual sponsorship values.
But the New Zealand Rugby Union received close to $80m in commercial income in the 2011 financial year - out of a total revenue of about $100m.
New Zealand Football is a much smaller player (the All Whites clearly don't have the clout the All Blacks do, internationally) with sponsorship and grants totalling $4.4m from a total revenue base of almost $10m.
But there may be some symmetry between the All Blacks and All Whites. All Blacks manager Darren Shand says "some of the boys are big soccer fans". "Conrad Smith's a [Wellington] Phoenix nutter. He will be down there with the Yellow Fever."
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen won't mind us revealing that back in his coaching career in Cardiff he used to avidly watch World Cup football qualifiers featuring a Welsh team coached by Mark Hughes, Nelsen's Blackburn Rovers and Queen's Park Rangers gaffer.
All Whites and Phoenix defender Ben Sigmund had a mid-career pause playing senior rugby for Sumner in Christchurch and Nelsen once flirted with first XV footy at St Thomas of Canterbury College.
Shand says the All Blacks, who are training in Christchurch before next Saturday's Bledisloe Cup test in Brisbane, have "had an invite" to the All Whites' game. They are considering if they can fit it in around their own preparations. "We haven't made a decision yet," Shand said, "but we've always been pretty supportive of other national teams."
Olympic rowing champion Mahe Drysdale travelled with the All Blacks to Argentina last month and team members watched a New Zealand Breakers pre-season basketball game while they were in Dunedin for the Springboks test.
So the players may rub shoulders, but their backers, Nike and adidas, are as bitter rivals internationally as the All Blacks and Springboks, the All Whites and Socceroos and, er, the Black Caps and Bangladesh.
Rarely the twain shall meet.
Clark Todd is a director of The Roar Group, a sports marketing and sponsorship agency which has Nelsen as a business partner. He spent 14 years with Nike NZ, rising to chief executive.
"It's very territorial, there's not a lot of love lost between Nike and adidas," he says.
Adidas became big players in the international rugby market in the late 1990s and Nike has established itself as a football force. Nelsen appeared in all-star lineup of English premier league players from 2010 World Cup finalist nations sporting Nike apparel.
Nike sponsors top nations like Brazil and France and the Netherlands as well as the New Zealands and New Caledonias and some of Europe's leading club teams, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona and Inter Milan.
Nelsen is part of their individual athlete stable with Carlos Tevez (Argentina), Andres Iniesta (Spain), England's Wayne Rooney and a bevy of Brazilians.
Adidas has the biggest drawcards in world rugby, namely the All Blacks, including McCaw, Dan Carter and Sonny Bill Williams. The All Blacks are so important to adidas that the sportsgear giant generally has a representative with the team on major tours.
But brands have made some incursions into the other's field of dominance. Adidas has an association with the Wellington Phoenix. The worldwide company has provided the balls for World Cup and European Champions League tournaments for the last 40 years and outfits world and European champions Spain, Chelsea, Real Madrid and A-League aristocrats Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC as well as superstars like Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas and Liverpool's England captain Steven Gerrard.
Adidas has "exclusivity" when the players are on All Blacks duty. But Todd says some New Zealand rugby players wear Nike boots in Super 15 matches. He says there's been a big push by players in all codes, but football in particular, toward "player choice" in selecting the best boots to suit each individual.
Todd says there wouldn't be much chance of the "two brands getting together to cross-promote". Hence the analogy to Mitt Romney, an American Mormon politician, vacationing in Muslim Iran.
But he says the battle for sportswear supremacy is probably "a little less intense individually" among New Zealand sales representatives bumping into each other in retail outlets.
New Zealand Football chief executive Grant McKavanagh agrees.
In a former life McKavanagh was chief executive of Radiola Corporation, the New Zealand distributor or Samsung products.
He doesn't think rival companies or sports sponsored by competing brands are at each other's throats here.
"No, I think everybody in New Zealand is a bit bigger than that."
McKavanagh says sports try to maximise exposure for themselves and their sponsors. "You want to get the biggest bang for your buck".
But he doubts one code would look to trump another's promotion by staging their own event at the same time and location.
New Zealand Football took "a low profile" when the NZRU had its months in the sun during last year's World Cup.
Todd, looking from the outside in, believes there's a relatively good rapport between New Zealand's rugby and football codes.
It's not only the sports and players who benefit from sponsors' largesse.
Christchurch will get a permanent small-sided futsal court on a Gap Filler project site in Hereford St, courtesy of Nike, as a legacy of the All Whites' visit.
A whole generation of budding Kiwi rugby players are still buzzing from the All Blacks' recent Mastercard Rugby Roadshow where kids rubbed shoulders with current All Blacks.
No-one understands the need to balance sporting and promotional duties better than Shand, the All Blacks manager since 2004.
Next week isn't a typical schedule for the All Blacks, who are in Christchurch from Sunday to Thursday to prepare for Saturday's Bledisloe Cup test in Brisbane.
Shand says their two major promotional appearances will be held in Brisbane to support adidas and Telecom.
He says while the All Blacks are overseas they generally "work for our sponsors" who have international profiles.
"If we're in the UK, it's usually Air New Zealand, Steinlager and adidas."
But in domestic test weeks, the All Blacks could have several promotional commitments right up to the day before a test.
"We always thought we couldn't do [promotional work] on Thursdays and Fridays because it was too close to the game.
"But the players are much better these days at knowing when to turn the switch and focus on playing.
"We have a saying in the camp, 'you are an All Black 24-7'."
But Shand says training and strength and conditioning work always take precedence.
McKavanagh says it's the same for the All Whites even though New Zealand Football rarely has its squad, mostly based overseas, back together long.
They generally play two games in the Fifa international "window" before returning to their clubs.
The All Whites arrive in Christchurch tomorrow evening and will train on Monday morning.
Three players will take part in the "Fill The Gap" pitch dedication ceremony on Monday afternoon while others will do an in-store promotion for Nike at Rebel Sport in Riccarton Mall.
McKavanagh says "game preparation" is top of the All Whites' "hierarchy" of needs followed by "a small amount of sponsor promotion" and media commitments.
But, first things first. As Shand says, performance is always paramount. Or as one of the abovementioned brands likes to say: "Just Do It."

SIMPSONS Character Scheduled to Die in Season 26, Plus FUTURAMA Crossover
Season 26 is going to be quite eventful for the The Simpsons. According to Entertainment Weekly, there's both good news and bad news. The good news is that there will be a Futurama crossover. The bad news is that Springfield will have one less citizen.
Click here to read the full article.
The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean promised fans an emotional story back in October; however, he didn't reveal too much. At that point, not even the actor knew his character was going to die soon. Even so, Jean dropped two hints: the actor who voiced this character claimed an Emmy for his/her performance in the role and the character has appeared in more than two episodes. The episode is slated for the season premiere on Sept 28.
Fans of The Simpsons will get an emotional pick-me-up come Nov 9 when the Futurama/Simpsons crossover is scheduled to air. Cast members from the cancelled 31st-century will get the chance to reprise their roles. Actors include Billy West, John DiMaggio, Katey Sagal, Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, Maurice LaMarche, and Tress MacNeille. In this episode, Bender travels back in time to kill Bart because his actions in the present carry heavy repercussions for the future.
The Simpsons can also be found crossing into the world of Family Guy during their season premiere.

Tips to Make Your Retailing Adventure a Success
By Angie Patrick
Adding retail to your practice is a sound business idea proven to add unlimited revenue dollars to your business, while providing a profit for your bottom line. You potentially can add 20 to 80 percent or more to your income over treatment offerings alone! Numbers like that are difficult to ignore, especially when they are so easily within your grasp.
So, now that you have made the decision to offer products to your customers, where do you start? With so many decisions to make from product selection, to pricing, to merchandising, it's natural to feel a bit wary about taking the first step.I will share with you some ideas that can help you avoid making a mistake when beginning your new retailing adventure.
The first thing to identify is the type of therapy your services provide. Is your practice geared toward sports massage, relaxation massage, eastern therapies, holistic, energetic, spa, rehab or something else entirely? Once you have established what kind of market your clients comprise, you can begin to select products appropriate to your practice, as well as offering the greatest possibility of sell through.
Let's use sports massage as an example. Products appropriate for retailing in this type of environment would be hot and cold packs, analgesics, stretching tools, muscle relaxing bath soaks, exercise balls and so forth. The clientele for this type of massage would be more inclined to buy these types of items from their therapist because this is in the same realm as the therapy they seek from you. Offering items such as body scrubs and candles might not work as well in this sports massage environment. Conversely, relaxation products such as essential oils, buckwheat pillows, lamp rings, bath salts, sugar scrubs, salt scrubs, and scented lotions would be ideal retail items for spa, holistic and energetic therapy types.
Choose products you believe in and would use. Choose products you are knowledgeable about. When you make your product line decisions, make sure you are going to be comfortable with providing information about the product to your client. Know and understand the usage, and be able to share this information fluidly. Stumbling over instructions or ingredients will not convey a confidence in the product, and might cause your client to feel a bit unsure about purchasing from you. The more you know about your product lines, the better your ability to sell through and create more demand.
Listen to the cues you receive from your clients. Listen for phrases that begin with: "Oh I love the way my skin feels!" "What was that wonderful scent you used?" "I wish my skin could feel this soft all the time." "I want to get some of that stuff you used on my shoulder, it really relieved the pain." These are all cues signaling the type of products your clients would buy following a treatment.
The second piece in a successful retail program is pricing. You likely will be buying your retail products from the same place you buy your professional products. Often, your professional supply company might offer specialized pricing for select retail items. Spending your time trying to match professional pricing found in professional catalogs and advertisements is not necessary unless you are trying to retail your goods to other professionals in your field. Your pricing should be a fair "consumer" market value for your product offering, keeping in mind a few important points. One: you will be offering specialized professional products clients typically can't find in their local discount department stores. Two: your professional advice and suggestion also accompany that product sale. And three: your client likely will never frequent the supply company catalog or Web site from which you purchase your products, and likely will never see the pricing offered from them. Offering your products at an increased price is not bad business. Typically, the Manufacturers Standard Retail Price (MSRP) is a good indicator of pricing for your retail venue, and should be available from your supplier. The client is benefiting from your expertise, instruction and personal evaluation of the products you offer, so make sure you don't sell yourself short!
And lastly, presentation of your chosen product offering is the key in successful retailing. Clean and thoughtful placement of your products speaks volumes about you. A display with ample product appears well-kept and maintained. Avoid allowing only one of any item to be presented because doing so makes the item seem like an afterthought rather than a promoted feature. Items should be grouped in minimums of threes whenever possible. Three is a number that will provide ample product stock, as well as a pleasing aesthetic look.
Too many signs can give the appearance of a yard sale environment. Avoid hand written signs and price stickers. These techniques do not present a professional appearance, and can detract from the image you would like to present to your clients. You can print labels and signs easily from any PC. Doing so will add a streamlined look and feel, with a more desirable effect on your sales.
By following these simple guidelines, you can make retailing a natural part of your therapy practice. It isn't difficult to share information about products you believe in and can talk about from a personal perspective. This type of sales approach is real and honest, and is greatly appreciated by your clients. I encourage you to ask questions of your suppliers to find the right product lines for your needs. You can start small with a few key items you think would be beneficial. Whether you begin with a little or a lot, the important thing is just to start. You will be glad you did! I would love to hear about your retailing success stories and ideas. Feel free to drop me an e-mail at .

US: CBP reveals results of foreign textile factory visits
By Petah Marian | 22 November 2012
US customs and Border Protection (CBP) has revealed the results of foreign factory visits conducted by its textile production verification teams during 2011.
• Of the 174 factories CBP visited in nine countries in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa for illegal transshipment verifications, 21 were closed and 21 were deemed high-risk. One of the factories refused to admit CBP inspectors or produce requested documents, and evidence of transshipment was found at two factories.
• In Lesotho, nine factories were found to be compliant with the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), none of the factories visited were in violation, and two had insufficient documents to support AGOA claims.
• CBP found 59 factories in five countries were in compliance with DR-CAFTA while ten were in violation, 17 had insufficient documents to support DR-CAFTA claims, and 13 were closed.
• Ten factories in Jordan were determined to be in compliance with the US-Jordan FTA, none were in violation, three had insufficient documents to support FTA claims and two were closed.
• In Egypt, CBP found 14 factories that were in compliance with requirements under the Qualifying Industrial Zone (QIZ) programme and none that were not, although seven had insufficient documentation to support QIZ claims and one was closed.
• CBP found nine factories in Peru were compliant under the US-Peru FTA but 11 had insufficient documents to support FTA claims and two were closed.

Tony Iro looks certain to be asked to continue as assistant coach of the Warriors.
Long-term backup Iro missed out on being elevated to the top job, with Australian Matt Elliott handed the reins on a two-year contract.
Iro has the support of his players - as they have made clear in recent days - with several believing he could handle the head coaching role.
It seems Iro also has the support of Elliott, who has yet to declare the makeup of his management team but voiced his respect for Iro.
"If he decides to be assistant, that would be my strong will and intent to keep him there," Elliott said.
Elliott believed one of his biggest assets during his long tenure in the game was his ability to develop and promote his assistants. "Five or six of them - and some players as well - have gone on to be head coaches."
Elijah Taylor came out before Elliott's appointment was confirmed, strongly stating his preference for Iro to get the job and suggesting that reflected the feeling of many of the players.
After Elliott was announced, Kevin Locke took down one tweet and replaced it with: "I said nothn negative about the new coach just gutted for tony that's all I'm lukn 4wrd to nxt didnt matter who the coach was."
Elliott's spin on that attitude towards Iro from the squad was that he saw it as "a positive statement", displaying a "high level of trust and loyalty to staff".
"If they have that level of faith and belief in Tony, I'm looking forward to working with Tony."
Iro has spent six years at the club, initially with the successful under-20s side and the past three as assistant to Ivan Cleary and Brian McClennan.

Can be used on RoundUp Ready Corn, Soybeans, and Cotton.

Zumo the Sumo
I love this, I have a Parrot flying Drone which is fantastic but was quit expensive and you can't use outside in high winds. This I love this, I have a Parrot flying Drone which is fantastic but was quit expensive and you can't use outside in high winds. This is an indoor or outdoor iOS controlled device, the rolling jumping Zumo.
Easy to use vis your iPhone or iPad, the battery lasts about 10-20 mins depending I found on how much jumping you do...... I am afraid you will need a spare to really get the best out of this..well worth it though as it extends fun time. The Sumo is very intuitive to use and the controls straight forward. You can take pictures via the onboard camera and you can connect a storage device to record video too if you want, although I tend to forget as I am so busy having fun with it.
The Zumo is very well made and rather robust which is a good thing as it takes a bashing whilst jumping about and spinning into objects. I have only just started really paying with it but so far it's one of the best parrot drones I have used. If I had one critique it would be that the battery is the only limitation but having a spare improved this. …

Aramis Ramirez headed to DL with strained left hamstring
May 11, 2014, 2:33 PM EDT
Aramis Ramirez was lifted from the Brewers' game Saturday against the Yankees after straining his left hamstring while ranging for a groundball on the infield and will be placed on the 15-day disabled list before Tuesday night's series-opener versus the Pirates, according to Adam McCalvy at MLB.com.
It's a standard hamstring strain — not minor, but not severe — and will likely sideline Ramirez for around three weeks. Mark Reynolds and Jeff Bianchi are expected to fill in at thrid base while he is out.
Ramirez, 35, has batted just .252/.309/.390 in 34 games played this season, though he does have five home runs and 21 RBI. He finished the 2013 campaign with a .283/.370/.461 batting line, 12 home runs, and 49 RBI in 92 games — missing a large chunk of time because of a left knee injury.
The Brewers are hoping Ryan Braun (oblique) can return from the disabled list Tuesday in a corresponding roster move. They're clinging to a five-game lead in the National League Central standings.

Clinging to a lead? At maybe a game or two I could see "Clinging"… but at 5 +.. clinging doesn't seem to fit does it.
Now.. personally if the pitching stays healthy we can maintain our hopes for postseason play.. but realistically we need to improve our depth in the infield if we are going to make a real run at it. Will Melvin / Mark A. sell out again to make a run.. that is the question.
We are still recovering depth from making a run with CC and ZG.. albeit trading away ZG helped rebuild some of that.
Our 3 & 4 hitters can't stay healthy .. Weeks slumping for the last what 2 years.. We need a couple more bats. Even if we can get a lead off and slide Gomez down the lineup in the crunch.
