Voters across the north country will head to the polls Tuesday in an off-year election that will focus on local county and municipal officials.
There are a pair of Supreme Court races, where in Jefferson and Lewis counties two Republicans will run unopposed while in St. Lawrence County, a Democrat and two Republicans will vie for two court seats.
In St. Lawrence County, there is a closely watched race between District Attorney Nicole M. Duve and Republican challenger Mary E. Rain. That campaign has been intense, with Ms. Rain mostly on the offensive, attacking Ms. Duves record, while the incumbent has been forced into the role of playing defense to the attacks.
There is also a race for coroner in St. Lawrence County, with Republicans Kevin J. Crosby and June H. Wood facing Democrat Eric Warner.
In the Legislatures District 9, Democrat Stephen M. Putnam is facing Republican William Fobare to fill an unexpired term.
In the city of Ogdensburg, voters will select three council members from among five candidates.
At the town level, there are supervisor races in Clare, where there are three candidates seeking the office, and in Gouverneur, Lisbon, Macomb, Madrid, Morristown, Parishville, Russell and Waddington.
The regions only female highway superintendent, Pitcairn Democrat Nancy J. McIntosh, is opposed by Republican Howard E. Ray
Contested county Legislature races in Jefferson County are in District 10, where Democrat Donna M. Bohn and Republican Jeremiah J. Maxon are vying to replace the retiring Michael Behling, and District 6, where Democrat Johnathan L. Hirschey is challenging Republican Michael F. Astafan. Gizelle J. Meeks is running unopposed for county clerk.
Important town contests in Jefferson County include Cape Vincent, where a full slate of pro-wind farm candidates are challenging the incumbent supervisor and two councilmen, and in Theresa and Rodman, where there will be contests for supervisor.
In Lewis County, all 10 Legislature seats are in play, with six contests. In four of them, a new face will grace the board in January because incumbents have decided not to run again. There is but a single supervisors race, in New Bremen, where Independence Party candidate Robin Grunert has challenged Democratic Supervisor Peter J. Keys.
Many other towns and one village have contested races for other positions.
Polls across the region open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m.

I got some great news last week. My cousin's son won his local Patriot's Pen contest, sponsored by the Thomson, Ga. Veterans of Foreign Wars post and its Ladies Auxiliary. He placed third at the state level.
At first glance, you might think, so what? A lot of kids enter essay contests and many of them win some nice prizes. Happens every day, right?
But this is an extra-special case, considering Tyler Shelton is an extra-special boy.
In my line of work I meet a lot of people. Some good, some bad but most are in between and it depends on the circumstances under which I met and interacted with them.
If you read this column regularly, you know I'm a Facebook fanatic. I check it throughout the day, and enjoy keeping up with friends and family through its use tremendously.
Last week, some of my FB friends posted that they were already putting up their Christmas decorations. I was horrified. It's not even Thanksgiving yet, and you're moving on to Christmas? How dare you?
I trust that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did. I was able to travel to my parents' house in North Georgia and spend the holiday with my family.
I enjoyed the drive, once I got a little further north. The leaves were beautiful.
I enjoyed the hug from my 4-year-old niece, Amanda, before I could even get out of the car when I arrived.
I enjoyed coloring with Amanda. She told me it's OK to color outside the lines. She also said, "Gigi, I'm a conceptual artist."
There was a time, not so long ago, that I could remember everything trivial. Remember Trivia Pursuit, the game that was so popular back in the 80s? I was good at it. My friends and I would play into the early morning hours. Two weeks ago I was in Orlando and met up with one of my old college roommates and we started talking about the many hours we spent having fun.
We recently had to "fall back"...and we all rejoiced at the thought of an extra hour of sleep. Or maybe that was just me.
Daylight savings time...who the heck thought that one up? According to the history books, it was a dude with some tiny glasses and a bad haircut – Benjamin Franklin. He thought it up, but it wasn't implemented until 1907. It was made law in the U.S. in 1918.
This Friday night is another opportunity for people to get out and do something. There's a lot going on and it's all family-friendly. Whether you like to get out early or stay late you can have your choice. Hopefully Tropical Storm Ida will have fizzled out or at least left this part of the country.
Transparency is the new black. At least, that appears to be the case as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Florida's public records law.
We at the Times vigorously support your right as our readers and the public's right in general to know what our elected and appointed leaders are doing. We believe strongly that you should be able to check and see if your child's teacher is qualified to teach. It is your right to know if your kid's soccer coach has a domestic violence or drug abuse record.
Just when I think I've heard it all, I come across an official report that makes me wonder what some people are thinking.
Picture this: You're driving down the street and come upon a car accident. There are no other cars around and it looks like a pretty bad one-car accident. For most people, even the faint of heart, the first instinct would be to check to see if anyone is in the car, if the person is injured and get help.
I am always amused at what some people think passes for journalism. When you read some newspapers, it's quite clear who's in the back pocket of the reporter or the publisher...or both.
That's not the case at the Times. And we're proud of that. Nobody tells us what we can and can't write about, and no one tells us what flavor our news should be.

Read this story in Spanish at CNNMexico.com.
By CNN Mexico Staff
The remains of a mammoth have been uncovered south of Mexico City, researchers at Mexico's National Institute for Anthropology and History said.
"For the first time in Latin America, magnetic, electric and ground-penetrating radar methods were applied in paleontology... (methods that are) commonly used in archaeological excavations to detect architectural (findings)," the institute said. Ground-penetrating radar is a technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to generate a picture of the subsurface.
Paleontologists and archaeologists worked together to use these approaches, which saved the scientists time, and helped them determine the magnitude of the discovery before the excavation process started last March.
Researchers said that the specimen is a male Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) that died approximately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The animal was approximately 30 years old at the moment of its death. Its body remained covered by a one-meter thick grave of ashes in a gorge, where it fell during a volcano eruption.
This mammoth is one of the most complete that has been found in Mexico. According to Joaquin Arroyo, mammalian fauna specialist, parts of the bones, legs and canine teeth are usually what's found in the country.
The residents of Santa Ana Tlacotenco, a town in the southern, rural part of the city, discovered the molars of the animal by chance in 2012 in a sandy terrain covered by nopales, a type of cactus in that area. The discovery attracted the researchers, who suspected they might find the full body.
About a month after the excavation started, a sense of expectation has been hanging in the air. During the Holy Week festivities, about 100 people from nearby towns went to the site of the excavation to listen to the investigators' explain the animal's anatomy.
Up to now, the paleontologists have been able to expose the tusks, parts of the skull and jawbone, as well as some ribs and vertebrae. The investigators are yet to find 30% of the bones, according to the group of scientists from the National Institute for Anthropology and History, the Anthropological Investigations Institute and the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
After the discovery of the fossils, residents of the area told the researchers that the owners of one house found another mammoth's fossils 15 years ago, but they reburied them.
The National Institute for Anthropology and History said that they are exploring the possibility of restoring the fossils to be studied and later exposed in the town's library or at the Milpa Alta Museum.
Mammoths are an extinct species in the elephant family that existed in the Pliocene and Holocene periods. They were 16 feet tall and weighed 10 tons. Their tusks were approximately 9 feet long and they used to live in grasslands and areas close to lakes.
In 2012, the fossil of another mammoth was discovered in Queretaro, a neighbor state to Mexico City.
Canine teeth?
Who mentioned gematria?
The mammoth was born in Medellín, Columbia, on his way to North America, when he got caught in the mammoth gang war and died tusked in Mexico City.
Oh this is terrifying, terrifying I say! Now we really need that fence at the border before better-educated-than-us Mexicans learn how to resurrect some monsters with DNA and whole herds head north to trample us in our sleep while we're exhausted from reading Creationist textbooks all day and that's not fair to the alligators under our beds what planned t' eat us. We cowboys need more guns to protect ourselfs, more guns I say!
By George!
I believe that the human existance is as olds the earth itself, thus this discovery is another evidence that man had lived for thousands of years
Adele, are you drinking before noon again? bad girl
They are thinking of shipping it to Washington DC and putting it on a path to citizenship.
They should, it would work harder and better then the current pack of legislators in DC.
Whoa! Some dude identified the story as being about Mexico and decided that everything about Mexico is also about US immigration policies. Guy should get a job as an improv artist!
Ahh that was an interesting article, now lets alfight with each other about it...
Sweet, I'll choose to spout off about religion because I dont really understand jack $#I^ about science ...
More proof of global warming...change.
The world is only 6000 years old.
Hi Norm. I Love your argument. You seem to accept what the Bible says and reject the God-dishonouring belief of evolution. Such blown-out dates as published in science journals do not agree with what the Bible teaches.
Mammoths are a trick by the devil to make us think elephants are naked
hahaha xD
Bill – Nahmanides quote comes from his published work on his commentary on the Bible. Originally written in Hebrew but i'm sure you can find an English translation. Try searching "Nahmanides commentary Genesis Big Bang". I've got the full volumes at home but in the original hebrew which is readily availble. You'll find a lot of explanations if you search on the internet. Loads of discussions about it. You'll also find stuff where Kabbalah talks about previous world's, other dimensions etc. However, i'm comfortable with quoting ~Nahmanides but out of my depth when it comes to Kabbalah. It's ineteresting to read and ponder perhaps appreciate but that's my limit. What I learn from knowing that it exists is that the religion taught today is a totally different religion or belief that was once accepted.
Profound thanks, Abe.
Totally right!
Ahh! La Paca lo enterro
The earth is well over 5 BILLION years old. National Geographic did a very well researched program called "How the Earth was Made". The first episode was 2 hours and then they did an hourly series for at least 2 years. The earth has gone through many ice ages and extreme volcanic activity. The last 10000 years have been very stable as compared to other times in earths history. It gives me pause to see man's hubris in thinking he can control this planet.
The Bible does not say how old the earth is. However, there is a Book that was taken out of the Bible called 'The Book of Enoch" It is a fascinating book that describes in great detail all the phases of the moon, sun, constellations and oceans. The Book was written well over 7000 years ago before any form of modern technology as we know. You can read a snippet of it at Amazon. Peace.
That would be 2,000 years older than the earliest writing known to exist.
Oh bullsh.it The oldest writings date from about 4,000 years ago
Why is it "the Earth"? Do you say "the Mars" and "the Jupiter" as well?
I would guess they will find a lot of Mammoths in South America and Mexico due to probably migration to get away from the ice age developing north to south.
This article is BS at best. I am sure that there is a Mammoth find they talk about but mammoth or "Mamut" to the Mexicans, are quite common in the Mexico City Valley. I have seen several and was give some bones by and laborer. Hundreds of specimens did not deserve the attention of the "Paleontologists" but since they got their new toys this Mamut is suddenly worth of international news. A huge amount of history is destroyed every day due to neglect and a lack of interest on the part of the powers that be...but now they got some cool toys to play with just like first world countries. BFD
I think every find is a big deal. I wish they all got this level of attention. I see no reason to fault the journalists because this find – indeed one of many – happened to hit their radar and they chose to write about i.
The article is incorrect regarding geologic epochs. Mammoth and their kin are Pliocene through Pleistocene. They were extinct in all but a few isolated areas (mostly islands) by the beginning of the Holocene.
@Kilgore Trout It seems that you are the one that is incorrect. If there were populations that made it to the Holocene–even small or disjointed populations–then as the article says the mammoth existed "in the Pliocene and Holocene periods." How could you say they didn't exist in the Holocene when they clearly did?
I guess I see your point, but the onset of the Holocene is in part defined by the extinction event that includes these mammoth. The exception of lingering mammoth on Wrangel Island and other refugia is just that – a special exception to the larger pattern. To my knowledge there are no Holocene-aged mammoth in Mexico.
I wish there was a sense of scale with the photo. How big are those buckets? Are they standard buckets or small buckets just for archeologists? What is the spacing of the grid lines? There's no way to tell how big those bones are.
The grid is most likely 1 X 1 meter squares. The yellow dustpans are probably regular household dustpans, if that gives you a sense of scale. Columbian mammoth stood a little taller than African elephants.
The buckets were brought in by industrial forklifts. Each one was shipped by 747 cargo planes then pieced together at the scene.
Clone it!
have the libs blamed bush for the mammoth death yet?
So much hate... How do you get through the day?
gstlab3 .. you are the cause of Bush
an excellent artical.
I don't know if I should be excited about the find or the fact that Mexico actually has a fully-functioning archaeology cultural resources compliance program in place (?).
yea mexicans are so stupid and dumm that the richest person in the world carlos slim is mexican not bill gates or donald trump
Really???? I'm surprised that there are still narrowed minded people like yourself!!! Let me guess, you think mexicans ride donkeys, wear big sombreros and live in dirt cottages. You should study a little bit more, there's a whole world waiting for you outside!!
It died because one of the coke balloons in it's rectum burst on it's way to the US border.
You are so funny!! Ha ha... I'm pretty sure that darwinisim will take care of you, for your hick-ass will die in a very stupid and clever way... :)
It's Obama's fault that the mammoth went extinct!
false alarm guys, it was the brother if president Peña Nieto.
CNN should just do away with the comment section. The majority of comments are j3rky.
Agreed! It's nothing but a place for people to showcase their ignorance and intolerance.
But would as many people click on the article if they knew they couldn't make a snide remark :/. CNN is a business like anyone else. By the way, a very cool article :).
That would be censorship. As much as I hate seeing the imbecilic comments I'd rather not feel like I live in Iran.
Censorship? It's CNN's website. They don't have to provide you or anyone else with a platform to make remarks. If you disagree I guess you wouldn't mind anyone putting bumper stickers on your car... if you object you'd be guilty of censorship.
Get a life you geek. If you want to wine, go to the liquor store.
your so right
you're... good gracious we are an uneducated bunch of people here in the USA. The earth is only 5000 years old too (or is it two or to?)
Joep - Want to get rid of the trolls and drooling racists and yapping blog-dogs here? Want to raise the level of comments? Just require the real name of each poster appear with his or her comment.
It would be interesting to know how many christian paleontologists there are.
Why don't you look for a date somewhere else. Like christianmingle.com or something like that.
Quite a lot, actually. Very few christian churches have any problem with evolution or deep time; that's a view that's peculiar to the protestants, in particular the evangelical southern baptists.
Six Degrees– Apparently this is a well-kept secret among many posters here, who imagine that Christians have some peculiar problem with paleontology and evolution. I suppose it's because fundamentalism is the only kind of Christianity they can imagine.
At the Jesuit high school I attended, one of the faculty, a Jesuit no less, had published extensively on mammoth fossils, many of which he had unearthed.
Sybaris - You might start your research at Teilhard de Chardin. Then you can move on the Abbe Breuile. That should get you started,
What do they mean this was the first time GPR was used in paleontology? They used it in Jurassic Park and if it was in a Michael Crichton movie it must be true!
For the first time in Latin America
Except for a few miss-steps, like nuclear weapons and nerve gas, science has provided mankind with many beneficial and interesting discoveries. Thank goodness for scientist. They stand high above the rest of humanity, which includes a large percentage of morons unfortunately.
I think the jury is still out on GMO produce and it's beginning to appear as if neonictinoids are right up there with DDT on the list of really dumb ideas.
ive met quite a few scientists who are morons. and im sorry to tell you but scientists a only "uncoverers" of that which has already existed. why dont you hold such high esteem for musicians or artists, etc.
Awesome science happened im so excited to see all the pictures of this.
Great discovery! science is leading the way.
The site wasn't discovered by scientists. It remains to be seen whether scientific study of the bones will be more beneficial to mankind than if the natives simply used them for soup.
I'm not sure what you mean about soup. If you're referring to any people who were around when this oliphaunt kicked the bucket, I'm sure the volcanic ash did them in as well. If you're referring to those still around today, I'm thinking that there's no organics left, just the minerals the bones and teeth were composed of and even these may be partially permineralized (original material replaced as part of fossilization). I'm sure the only value they'd have in soup today would be the same as the stone in stone soup.
We are living now in the Holocene, it hasn't ended.
Carl Rove sighting.
Karl roving around trying to take out a Palin-tologist or two.
Cool. Applying this and new technology yet to be developed will accelerate our understanding of life on earth and how it developed and evolved. Thanks to these scientists and engineers that are making this happen. When I think of how excited I got as a child about dinosaurs and other extinct animals based on so much less information than we have today, I am excited for my kids.
The Bible doesn't say how old the earth is exactly. The Nahmanides, a famous 13th Century Rabbi, talks of the "big bang". Don't take the teachings of those who have their own ideas of a religion as gospel. You'll be surprised how much science and religion agree. I'm talking about the unadulterated religion.
Really? What does it say, exactly?
What does it say "Exactly"? And where exactly does it say how old the Earth is?
The Bible in it's simplest form tells you what you need to know to live your life to the fullest today!
And to the age of the earth.... Do you want it down to the nearest minute?? But being serious – if one delves deeper into the more spiritual side (as supposed to the more practical part of the Bible) then you'll learn things very different to what you are led to believe by so called "protectors" of the Bible (e.g. Rabbis, Priests etc). It's funny because Rabbis of yesteryear were far more knowledgable and with it came a closer understanding of how science and religion meet. The further back in time you go the more forward thinking Rabbis were.
Nahmanides 1194 – 1270
"...At the briefest instant following creation all the matter of the universe was concentrated in a very small place, no larger than a grain of mustard. The matter at this time was very thin, so intangible, that it did not have real substance. It did have, however, a potential to gain substance and form and to become tangible matter. From the initial concentration of this intangible substance in its minute location, the substance expanded, expanding the universe as it did so. As the expansion progressed, a change in the substance occurred. This initially thin noncorporeal substance took on the tangible aspects of matter as we know it. From this initial act of creation, from this etherieally thin pseudosubstance, everything that has existed, or will ever exist, was, is, and will be formed".
Do you know that Kabbalah talks of many dimensions. Something which scientists have recently given theories too.
Now i'm not saying study Kabbalah. In fact those who say they do – DON'T!! Kabbalah is not a fad that can be learned by anyone. It's a wisdom that has no shortcuts or can be studied by someone who has no prior knowledge to the Bible. One cannot run before they can walk. It is a wisdom obtained by the few and in todays day and age people don't have the means and understanding to do so. But if you care to read those who did truely know the Kabbalah then you'll see a very different understanding of the world unlike todays narrowminded blinkered views.
Abe - Fascinating! Do you have an exact reference?
Bill – Nahmanides quote comes from his published work on his commentary on the Bible. Originally written in Hebrew but i'm sure you can find an English translation. Try searching "Nahmanides commentary Genesis Big Bang". I've got the full volumes at home but in the original hebrew which is readily availble.

It's ineteresting to read and ponder perhaps appreciate but that's my limit. What I learn from knowing that it exists is that the religion taught today is a totally different religion or belief that was once accepted.
Bill – Been trying to find some sort of translation of the original. Try this : http://www.js.emory.edu/BLUMENTHAL/GenRamban.html
p.s. That's just the first 6 "days" explained by Nahmanides on his commentary of the Bible. There's going to be many words and quotes which you need some prior knowledge to understand what he's talking about. He talks of Sefirot and Prime Matter, with and without substance, spheres etc. I've only been able to find a translation with some sort of explantion for the very beginning of Genesis. But if you look for Gerald L. Schroeder on his book "Genesis and the Big Bang" he gives the quote and where he gets it from. That's just a taster for you. Reads very different to what is taught in Sunday school.
religion equals cult .. so all religions are cults .. there that's it
That gematria nonsense is contrived doo-doo. Because Hebrew doesn't write short vowels and the long vowels are really just hinted at, it's possible to take sets of letters and and then add any vowel sound to make it say something you want it to say. Then they take the numerical values of a word and give it a further ridiculous meaning. It's pure crap.
Whatever makes you sleep at night
Who mentioned gematria?

Stay up to date - follow daily news coverage, highlights and outcomes of ICCM4 at iisd reporting services
The fourth session of the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM4) will take place in Geneva from 28 September to 2 October, 2015. ICCM is the governing body of UNEP's Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), an Approach which covers all agricultural and industrial chemicals throughout their lifecycle, and reflects environmental, economic, social, health and labour aspects of chemical safety. SAICM brings together stakeholders and sectors that include agriculture, environment, health, industry, labour, economics, science and academia to catalyse achievement of the goal by 2020 "that chemicals are used and produced in ways that minimize adverse effects on human health and the environment."
The post-2015 Development Agenda provides a historic opportunity to place sound management of chemicals and waste at the heart of sustainable development. ICCM4 will facilitate the exchange needed to promote sharing of resources and forging of partnerships. The high-level segment on 1-2 October will provide a platform for discussing ways that SAICM can contribute to implementing and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The segment also seeks to inspire wider stakeholder engagement and renewed commitment to implementing the Strategic Approach.
Reflecting the inclusive nature of SAICM, the high-level segment will feature keynote speeches and panel participation from senior levels of global business and industry, government, NGOs, and donors.
About SAICM
Adopted by the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM) on 6 February 2006 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) is a policy framework to foster the sound management of chemicals.
SAICM was developed by a multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral Preparatory Committee and supports the achievement of the goal agreed at the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development of ensuring that, by the year 2020, chemicals are produced and used in ways that minimize significant adverse impacts on the environment and human health.
Progress in the implementation of SAICM was reviewed at the third session of the ICCM held from 17 to 21 September 2012.

Pharmaceutical Pollutants Under The Spotlight
A call for attention and action on environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants will be presented at the 4th International Conference on International Chemicals Management (ICCM4) in September.
Stakeholders of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) will consider a proposal to include environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants as an emerging policy issue at ICCM4 developed by the Governments of Peru and Uruguay together with the International Society of Doctors for the Environment. It identifies the need for greater awareness and policy engagement; enhanced coordination and collaboration amongst different initiatives and actors; and greater capacity to access and manage risks, at a global level, and particularly in developing countries.
The proposal lists seven activities that should be taken and notes that there are three main pathways that pharmaceutical products reach the environment. Read more

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) – If President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner really want to reduce federal deficits, they're doing a lousy job of it.
Rather than focusing their negotiations on specific and achievable savings that would stabilize our debt for a decade or more, the two leaders have instead been talking about areas of the budget in which there's almost no common ground.
Instead of reaching a reasonable compromise, each party is insisting that the other surrender unconditionally. The Democrats and Republicans alike would rather win a bloody political victory than achieve a negotiated peace.
For Democrats, the only goal of the fiscal-cliff confrontation seems to be raising tax rates and getting more revenue from the wealthy. For Republicans, it's shredding the safety net for seniors and the working poor.
They're ignoring the most obvious solution: Eliminating unproductive and unnecessary federal spending and tax expenditures, especially corporate welfare that only benefits special interests. If even we didn't have a deficit problem, we should eliminate or minimize this kind of wasteful spending.
And, contrary to what you've been told, there is plenty to cut.
We know why no one is talking about this solution: The corporate interests who feed at the public trough control the politicians and the media who have worked themselves into a frenzy over the debt and the fiscal cliff. You'll never see a group of CEOs, like Honeywell's David Cote or Jim McNerney of Boeing, come to Washington to lobby to have their subsidies eliminated, but you will see them ask for old and sick people to bear the costs of deficit reduction. Read more about the CEOs lobbying in Washington.
Republicans have been berating the president for not offering specific spending cuts, but the Republicans haven't been specific either.
That's why Obama ought to offer a specific plan to reduce spending, without lowering benefits from Social Security and Medicare. At some point, we need to put those entitlement programs on a sound footing, but there's no urgency. Read about how to fix Medicare the right way.
Obama doesn't have to run for office again, so he's free to say what everyone already knows: We don't need to subsidize farmers, or energy companies, or defense contractors, or pharmaceutical companies, or the real estate business, or banks, or hedge funds. Corn and coal and sugar and 30-year mortgages don't need to be subsidized.
It's possible to achieve all the budget savings we need for the next 10 years simply by cutting the fat out of discretionary spending programs and tax expenditures, without raising tax rates on the wealthy or cutting the safety net at all.
All we need to do is look at the recommendations of such good-government groups as the Government Accountability Office, Taxpayers for Common Sense, or the Cato Institute.
Here's my list of $2.6 trillion in savings over the next 10 years. It doesn't cut education, or research into green energy, or reduce benefits for retirees. It doesn't just transfer our federal problems onto the states' treasuries.
Investors: What, me worry about fiscal cliff?
Investors are trading with optimism that Congress will resolve the fiscal cliff crisis but economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal aren't so sure. Jonathan Cheng reports on Markets Hub. Photo: Reuters.

Any consumer in Nebraska may place a security freeze on his or her credit report by requesting a freeze in writing and sending the request by certified mail to the credit reporting agency.
The credit reporting agency is not allowed to charge a fee to minors (under 19 years of age) and identity theft victims for placing, temporarily lifting for a specific time period, or permanently removing a security freeze on a credit report. To prove you are a victim, you must also send a valid copy of a police report.
For all others, a charge of $3.00 will be applied for placing, temporary lifting or removing of a security freeze. A security freeze shall prohibit, with certain specific exceptions, the credit reporting agency from releasing the consumer's credit report or any information from it without the express authorization of the consumer.
It is important to note that a security freeze may impact a consumer's ability to obtain credit, and as such, consumers are encouraged to carefully weigh the risks and the benefits in light of their particular circumstances.
To obtain more detailed information on how to place a security freeze on your credit reports, see below.
A security freeze is a notice placed on a consumer's credit file and prohibits consumer reporting agencies from releasing a credit report, or any other information derived from the file, in connection with the extension of credit or the opening of a new account, without the express authorization of the consumer.
A security freeze can help prevent identity theft. Most businesses will not open credit accounts without first checking a consumer's credit history. If your credit files are frozen, even someone who has your name and Social Security number probably will not be able to obtain credit in your name.
How do I place a security freeze?
To place a freeze, you must write a letter requesting that the credit bureaus place a security freeze on your account. Then send this request by certified mail to each of the three credit bureaus.
Credit bureaus charge a $3.00 fee to place a security freeze on your credit report, unless you provide proof that you are a minor or a victim of identity theft, in which case there is no fee. A copy of your police report documenting identity theft must be included to avoid a fee.
Write to all three addresses below and include the information that follows:
Sample Letter to Equifax
Equifax Security Freeze
P.O. Box 105788
Atlanta, GA 30348
Sample Letter to Experian
Experian Security Freeze
P.O. Box 9554
Allen, TX 75013
Sample Letter to Trans Union
Trans Union Security Freeze
P.O. Box 6790
Fullerton, CA 92834-6790
Frequently Asked Questions:
How long does it take for a security freeze to be in effect?
After three (3) business days from receiving your letter, the credit reporting agencies listed above will place a freeze providing credit reports to potential creditors.
Before July 1, 2008, a consumer reporting agency has ten (10) days from receiving the letter to send confirmation and provide the consumer with a unique personal identification number ("PIN") or password. After July 1, 2008 a consumer reporting agency has five (5) days. Remember to keep this PIN and password safe because issuing a second costs $5.
Can I open new credit accounts if my files are frozen?
Yes. You can have a security freeze lifted for a temporary period of time. This is done at no charge. The steps to do so are as follows:
What will a creditor who requests my file see if it is frozen?
A consumer reporting agency may advise a creditor or third party that a security freeze is in effect with respect to your file. If a security freeze is in place with respect to a consumer's file, the consumer reporting agency shall not release a credit report or any other information derived from the file to a third party without the prior express authorization of the consumer.
Can a creditor get my credit score if my file is frozen?
No. If a creditor requests access to a credit report or any other information derived from a file with a security freeze the creditor cannot access your credit information.
Can I order my own credit report if my file is frozen?
Can anyone see my credit file if it is frozen?
When you have a security freeze on your credit file, certain entities still have access to it. Your report can still be released to your existing creditors and private collection agencies acting under a court order, warrant, or subpoena. They can review or collect on your account. Other creditors may also use your information to make offers of credit. Government agencies may also have access in response to a court or administrative order, a subpoena, or a search warrant.
Do I have to freeze my file with all three credit bureaus?
Yes. Different credit issuers may use different credit bureaus. If you want to stop your credit file from being viewed, you must freeze it with Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union.
Will a freeze lower my credit score?
No. A consumer reporting agency cannot state or imply that a security freeze on a consumer's file reflects a negative credit score, history, report, or rating.
Does freezing my file mean that I won't receive pre-approved credit offers?
No. You can stop the pre-approved credit offers by calling 888-5OPTOUT (888-567-8688). You can also do this online at www.optoutprescreen.com. This will stop most of the offers, especially the ones that go through the credit bureaus. It's good for five years or you can make it permanent.
How long does my credit freeze last?
Until the consumer reporting agency receives a request from the consumer to remove the freeze.
What law requires security freezes?
The Nebraska security freeze bill passed as Legislative Bill 177. It is effective April 8, 2009.

Supporters say the mascots are a way to celebrate American Indian history and traditions and preserve the group's culture. But according to the complaint, new evidence suggests the use of the mascots "reinforces stereotypes," negatively impacting American Indian students' self-esteem, student learning and achievement.
The complaint cites 35 Michigan school districts "responsible for the alleged discrimination." However, a federal ruling for the Michigan department could have broader reach, spurring a nationwide ban on the use of such mascots and imagery in school districts that receive federal funds.
Daniel Levy, the director of law and policy for MDCR, wrote in the complaint that recent studies now provide a "legal basis" to prohibit the use of American Indian imagery and mascots by proving the mascots cause "actual harm" to American Indian students.
Previously, the only way to make a legal case against the use of the mascots was to prove harassment, Director of Public Affairs for MDCR Leslee Fritz said. The department either had to show bad intention on the part of the school or that the use of the mascot is "universally offensive" — "a difficult thing to do," she said.
Last year, the Oregon Board of Education banned the use of American Indian mascots in the state, citing the research as "key" in their decision.
Mark Dombroksi, superintendent for the Cheboygan Area School District, said he believes the district has used the "chiefs" mascot since the schools opened in the late 1890s. He said the community is heavily populated by American Indians and called the mascot a "sense of pride to the local community."
U.S. Department of Education spokesman Jim Bradshaw said the Office of Civil Rights has received the complaint and referred it to the Cleveland office, which handles matters involving Michigan. He said the office has not yet reviewed the document.
Fritz said the department chose to file the complaint at the federal level "to help every student at one time."

Bay City Public Schools

California State University Statement on Gov. Schwarzeneggers Proposed Plan to Fund Higher Education
CSU Statement on Governors Proposed Plan to Fund Higher Ed
Claudia Keith (562) 951-4800
(January 6, 2010) – California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed today commended Governor Schwarzenegger for a renewed commitment to increase funding for higher education as outlined in his final State of the State address, and acknowledged the administration's recognition of the importance of reinvesting in the state's public universities.
"We appreciate the Governor's intention to begin to reinvest in California's public universities because there is a critical need in the state for a well educated workforce that can help us to remain competitive in the global economy," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "A reinvestment in public higher education will help students realize their goal of obtaining a college degree, and will prime the workforce pump to help bring us out of this economic recession.
"The administration deserves credit for proposing this idea, and we look forward to working closely with them on the details as it progresses to help ensure a more stable and predictable level of funding for our public universities."

Science Fiction, by its very nature, has always been about exploring new possibilities. The very best of the genre has given us glimpses into a realized future, paving a way for innovation. The Syfy channel may just be doing that now with their new show, Defiance, but not necessarily in the way you think. While the show may be borrowing from a variety of past creations, the producers are trying something rather groundbreaking with the production – creating a transmedia IP that is living as both a television program and video game concurrently.
It's a gamble, but it's one with a certain logic behind it a Content Lab reports: "It's also an attempt to cater to a highly engaged, billion-dollar audience: participants of massively multiplayer online (MMO) games."
Syfy is pouring a lot of money, a reported $60-70 million on the game alone, to make Defiance a hit. For HBO, the costs of an ambitious show like Game of Thrones can be covered by subscriptions, but Syfy needs to generate revenue in other ways, and no doubt had that in mind with the creation of Defiance. Again, from Content Lab: "Moreover, the transmedia [Ed. note – actually, I'd call it intermedia] approach also raises intriguing possibilities for in-game advertising. It's not too difficult to see how a product used in the show, such a vehicle or branded clothing, could appear naturally as elements in the game."
No doubt this is new territory and Syfy along with game partner Trion have got a lot riding on the success of Defiance. While initial reviews of the show and game were tepid, Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat reports: "In fact, the premiere of Defiance outperformed Game of Thrones on its own premiere day. Syfy hasn't had a show this hot since Eureka, and its second-screen tablet app posted its best day ever with the debut. The digital stats in terms of uniques, page views, and visits are stellar.
Meanwhile, the massively multiplayer online game has scored 6 million hours of playtime since the launch two weeks ago. I've poured around 10 hours into it myself. This transmedia — or a story that is told in more than one medium — has to be considered a success in terms of its ability to grab attention even though it appeared on the same day as the Boston bombings."
I honestly don't know if Defiance is going to be a success, it's impossible to know for certain after two weeks, but I do feel confident in saying that brands should be working to understand what's at play here. Consumers' attitudes and expectations towards entertainment and content have changed. The idea of watching unique content on multiple platforms, sometimes even simultaneously, is becoming more accepted, if not expected. This provides massive new opportunities for brands to integrate across multiple touchpoints, creating longer engagements with fans through programming they want to watch. Categories like food, travel and technology could all look to take advantage of this in new and compelling ways.

This product is excellent for gum hygiene.It helps to remove plaque under the gum.
I've used these for years, but they are becoming impossible to find in local stores. I was very happy to find them on myotcstore.
It was pretty easy to get the info we needed; and when we had questions, they were answered fully and quickly. The product was shipped/received very quickly. The 4 stars (instead of 5) is only because we had to ask for more info before we ordered --info that should have been available, in our opinion. Otherwise, a stellar experience
I've used these for years, but they are becoming impossible to find in local stores. I was very happy to find them on myotcstore.com
The WaterPik Power Flosser costs less than $20 and that's a pittance compared to what you'll save in dental bills. I don't have dental insurance, so about 15 years ago, I decided I'd better start taking care of my teeth better, so I started flossing. Made a big difference! Then I saw a power flosser, so I added that to my regimen. BIGGER difference! After not seeing a dentist for 5 years (I couldn't afford cleaning, either), he asked, "You have no plaque on your teeth and no problems whatsoever ...you haven't even been here for years, and I know it's not hereditary, so what did you do??" I said, "You told me I should be flossing, so I am!" When the Oral-B power flosser I was using was discontinued (along with the tips that fit it), I finally found the WaterPik version. Cheaper main unit, cheaper tips --I was happy. It works even better than the other one (which is saying something), and I've even reversed two cavities. Hey - preventive medicine works. Of course, I also use natural toothpaste with no SLS or other ingredients I have to pronounce slowly, but the flossing is a major factor. I heartily recommend this regimen as well as this power flosser! And myotcstore has the best prices/fastest delivery that we've been able to find, too.

LaSalle Station personnel completed repairs to an on-site, above-ground water storage tank that was the source of a tritium leak.
MARSEILLES, Ill. (July 22, 2010)—LaSalle Station personnel completed repairs to an on-site, above-ground water storage tank that was the source of a tritium leak, the company said today.
Station personnel identified tritiated water near the tank on Wednesday, June 30 through the station's environmental monitoring program. The leak was stopped after plant personnel drained the tank Monday, July 5.
"Our employees took the proper action to stop the leak and safely repair the tank," said Dave Wozniak, LaSalle Station site vice president. "We evaluated the structural integrity of the storage tank using ultrasonic testing equipment, so we could be certain that our team's actions were successful. There was never a threat to public or employee health or safety."
The plant maintains an extensive environmental monitoring program, including periodic water sampling from 15 on-site dedicated monitoring points designed to detect unusual levels of tritium in the environment.
The source of the leak was in an on-site tank that holds water that's used to operate the plant. The tank is located near the center of plant property. The tritiated water was found in one monitoring well, located near the water storage tank.
During the repairs, site personnel analyzed all of the station's monitoring points and will continue to on a regular basis. There's no indication that tritiated water left station property.
Both units continued to run at full power during this repair work.
Exelon Nuclear officials notified local, state and federal authorities after tritium in water samples was confirmed, and updated officials throughout the repair process.
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen that produces a very weak radiation level. It is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays strike atmospheric gases and is produced in larger quantities as a by-product of the nuclear energy industry. Tritium can be found at very low levels in nearly all water sources. It is also used commercially to make luminous dials and instruments, as a source of light for exit and safety signs, as a tracer for biochemical research and in ground water transport measurements, among other uses. A tritium fact sheet from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can be downloaded at:<http://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/tritium.html>.
Exelon Nuclear is the largest nuclear generating company in the nation. LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

People finding themselves in a job where a boss or supervisor is aggressive should consider the reasons for the boss' behavior. A survey from NPR news revealed several anecdotes describing how bosses abused their employees. The "double-dealing" supervisor, for instance, is said to be one of the worst type of bosses; this type of boss will threaten (perhaps with insults) an employee, then at a later time compliment the employee and completely ignore previous behavior. "The User" is said to be an aggressive type boss who has other individuals to assert his authoritative position. Basically telling others to be aggressive toward their peers. When this person receives negative feedback from their peers the boss turns on the individual.
Driving these behaviors, according to Fast & Cheng (2009) is the perception of incompetence on the part of the boss. However, when perceived competence has been restored, via self-affirmation, the aggressive behavior is reduced. The show "Talk of the Nation" discussed the psychology of the boss and speakers talked about culture as a contributing factor to the boss' aggressive behavior.
In sum, company culture dictates whether the boss can get away with aggressive behavior. Also, the perceived competence on the part of the boss determines the likelihood of the boss being aggressive toward workers. It appears that complementing your boss is just as important as selecting where to work.

Closed Monday
Directions »
Here are some resources for those in need of pet food:
The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank: Held in Portland, this food bank provides dog and cat food on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. Please call (503) 939-7555 for important details before arriving. Additional details available at thepongofund.org.
FIDO Dog Food Bank: Friends Involved in Dog Outreach (FIDO) holds a monthly dog food bank in Oregon City. The food bank will supply one month's supply of dog food to those in need every third Saturday of the month. Some cat food may also be available. Get more information on their website: fido-clackamas.org.
Local Food Pantry: Find a local food pantry; sometimes they will have pet food to offer. Information is available at www.oregonfoodbank.org.
Pet Food Help Oregon: A listing of Oregon-area pet food banks and other resources for pet owners can be found at petfoodhelporegon.blogspot.com.
These resources are to assist cat owners. The contents of external websites are beyond CAT's control. CAT accepts listings to this web page that are complementary to its mission statement and reserves the right to refuse or remove any listings that are not in line with CAT's mission.
Find the closest one to you on this map (click here).
The Cat Food Bank needs about 1,000 pounds of dry cat food every month to assist home-bound and other senior citizens in need. We welcome donations of:
- Adult cat food (dry)
- Kitten food (dry)
- Canned cat food
Any donations should be unopened and not expired. All sizes and brands are accepted, but clients prefer small to medium bags, i.e. 7 lbs to 15 lbs. Clients prefer mid- to high-quality foods, including Purina, Kirkland, Friskies, Iams, Royal Canin, Natural Balance, etc. (to name a few).
Bring your donations to CAT's Sherwood shelter or one of our donation drop off locations.
Other Ways to Help
If you prefer, you can make a secure online donation to support the Cat Food Bank.
We are honored to help local cat owners feed their beloved feline companions. Currently, CAT partners with Washington County Meals on Wheels and local senior centers to provide free cat food to home-bound clients and senior citizens on fixed income.
The Cat Food Bank provides cat food for clients through the Beaverton and Forest Grove Meals on Wheels programs and at the Hillsboro Senior Center.
Your donations are needed and appreciated — the Cat Food Bank is 100 percent donation driven. Donations of dry or canned cat food are always welcome! You can also make monetary donations directly to the Cat Food Bank. These funds are used to purchase cat food to keep the pantry shelves full.
And it's not just cat food. We offer behavior information, answer questions, and provide resources for low-cost spay/neuter, as all cats fed through the Cat Food Bank must be spayed/neutered.
**Public distribution is now closed**
From June 2008 to July 2013, Cat Adoption Team held a monthly public/walk-in Cat Food Bank that provided free cat food to qualified cat owners struggling in the poor economy. During the first four years the program was open, need grew over 1,100 percent. As the food bank entered its fifth year, we saw a dramatic drop in the amount of donated food and a decrease in the number of cat owners requesting assistance through our walk-in food bank.
CAT closed the public/walk-in food bank operation at the shelter in July 2013. We did not make this decision lightly because we knew it would impact cat owners in our area. The resources page has a list of other places that provide pet food assistance.
At this stage, we believe we can have the greatest impact by targeting the Cat Food Bank's limited resources toward cat owners with the least access to cat food. The Cat Food Bank now focuses solely on its partnership with Washington County Meals on Wheels and senior centers.

Read: What Postponing The Michigan Winter Classic Means
In the Star Tribune, Michael Russo writes that since the next Winter Classic will take place in Michigan will delay the chance that Minnesota gets to host the Winter Classic.
Russo writes that Washington has reportedly been promised a Winter Classic and that the league would obviously want to have the game in New York.
The Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, which has prevented the Rangers from hosting the game in the past, runs through at least December 2013.
It had been suggested that following Detroit, the next two teams to host the Winter Classic would be Washington and Minnesota.

The North Carolina Army National Guard 1451st Transportation Company, headquartered in Boone, is coming home.The approximately 170 soldiers were deployed to Iraq in May of 2006 and served an important role in transporting equipment and supplies. The company traveled over 1 million miles and earned 17 Army Achievement Medals, 117 Army Commendation Medals, 3 Meritorious Service Medals and 24 Bronze Star Medals. Boone's Barbara Day thinks that's worth celebrating. Day encouraged people to wear yellow ribbons and make their appreciation known. She also encourage citizens to make signs and display flags. Businesses can help by putting welcome home messages on their marquis. A welcome home ceremony will be held Sunday at 3 p.m. at Watauga High School and all are encouraged to attend.

Second Suspect in West Valley Home the Night of Triple Murder
YAKIMA -- It's a huge break in the West Valley triple murders that investigators may not have been expecting. A possible partner in crime to accused killer, Kevin Harper, is admitting to her role in the burglary and killings last February. Until this week it was suspected, Harper acted alone when investigators say he broke into the Goggin's West Valley home.
Even the judge mistook Tracy Culton for a man as she approached the bench during her preliminary hearing Friday. The 34-year old mother of two has admitted to a role in the burglary gone bad at the Goggin's Falcon Ridge home last February. Bill, Pauline and Bette Goggin were brutally murdered on the 16th of that month. Dozens of items were stolen from the house.
In the probable cause statement, investigators say Culton admits burglarizing the Goggin's home the night of the triple murder. We asked detectives if that means Culton was present when the murders occurred.
Detective Stew Graham was not prepared to say she was a participant in the killing spree.
The same document says Culton walked into the Sheriff's office on her own, back in May to confess to a series of crimes she had committed to support a drug habit.
It says "In that interview she admitted to being in possession of the jewelry that came from 630 Pheasant Crest and that she took that stolen jewelry and sold it..."
More shocking is an email Culton wrote to an inmate at the women's prison.
"In the email, Culton admitted she was involved in the burglary on Pheasant Crest. She further admitted that she planned the incident."
Colter's arrest brings it to four. Four people arrested related to the case. But these court papers make her the first to be at the home along with Harper where the murders happened"
Prior to her arrest police took in Kevin Harper's wife, Crystal West. She's charged with destroying several items taken from the Goggin's home.
A month before that, Tennance Buckingham was charges with lying to investigators about the deaths and his relationship with Harper. Deputies say he also has stolen items from the Goggin's home.
Then there's Kevin Harper. The man prosecutors say killed the three during a burglary to feed his drug habit.
Detectives aren't saying if there could have been more people there or not, only that it is an ongoing investigation. It seems with each passing month, another new lead is revealed in one of West Valley's most notorious and violent crimes.
Culton's bond was set particularly high on a burglary charge at $500,000. A clear indication the judge is listening to prosecutors when they say this is no ordinary burglary suspect.
YAKIMA -- A second person was in the Falcon Ridge home the night investigators say Kevin Harper murdered three people. Tracy Culton, 35, admitted to deputies she planned and participated in the crime.
Culton made a preliminary appearance in Superior Court Friday afternoon where a judge set bond at $500,000.
Investigators say Culton volunteered the information after an email to another inmate at the woman's prison in Washington State was intercepted. In that email, Culton admitted her involvement in the triple murder.

But the chances of a zombie takeover are slim, so gathering thousands of rounds of handgun and rifle bullets isn't really necessary.
Unfortunately, that kind of stockpiling is happening today — but not because of the fear of the living dead. Instead, it's the fear of President Obama and the possibility of new gun control regulations that have some Americans buying up all the rounds they can for their weapons.
Head to Meijer or Wal-Mart in Grand Haven, or to Dick's Sporting Goods in Muskegon, or even Gander Mountain in Grand Rapids, and you'll find plenty of shotgun shells — but the shelves where the .22 ammunition would normally be are bare.
Rounds for popular handgun calibers are also hard to find, and .223 and 5.56-mm ammunition are becoming increasingly scarce.
The latter two at least make sense. Ever since last year's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn., there have been rumors of strict regulations coming down on so-called assault rifles. These military-style semi-automatic rifles typically shoot a .223 round, while other versions use a 5.56-mm or even a .308.
For years, these bullets were mass-produced and easy to find. But these days, they're becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
Shooters are afraid that outlandish new taxes will soon be levied on these bullets, or that background checks will be required in order to purchase them. Others fear the flat-out banning of these and other popular weapons and ammunition.
The result? They're flying off the shelf faster than retailers can get them in.
The sad truth of the matter is that these conspiracy theorists are ruining it for everyone else.
The casual gun owner who likes to take his .22 rifle out into the woods and plink away at empty pop cans and paper plates with his kids can no longer find ammunition to do so.
Bullets that used to cost just pennies apiece are now being snatched up by hoarders and, in some cases, sold on the Internet for ridiculous profits.
Many retailers are putting strict limits on the amount of ammunition that people can purchase — but even so, shelves remain bare.
Some feel that the ammo shortage is a short-term phenomenon, and once the immediate fear of radical change passes, things will return to normal.
Let's hope so, because if there is a sudden invasion of zombies — or squirrels, pop cans or whatever — it would be nice to know that there's enough ammo out there for everyone.

And even if we win, if we win, HAH! Even if we win! Even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if God in Heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk because they've got all the money! It just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!
Rest of group: IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER! IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER...
Bill Murray
No matter WHAT happens in Texas tonight we can all be PROUD of our team this year. They played FAR beyond our expectations, and probably their own. They have proven they are a team to contend with and have built a foundation to improve on next year. So what if the season ends tonight, it just doesn't matter.

Alexon has lost half of its market value since April, meaning it could be ripe for a takeover bid. Alexon is believed to want a full company sale, but the limited synergies between the footwear and fashion arms of the business is likely to result in the business being split anyway.
Tesco is comfortably riding out the challenging trading conditions facing UK retailing, recording pre-tax profits of GBP2.95 billion for the 52 weeks to February 28. Although exposure to non-food and the impact of its Discounter brand have dented sales growth, the supermarket's international credentials and ability to diversify into new markets will see it continue to prove a formidable retailer.
After entering a number of new markets this year, Inditex is poised to enter the Australian and South African markets in 2011. Its plans for expansion, which include introducing global online retail platforms, will ensure that it keeps one step ahead of its international rivals, and will provide an opportunity for rejuvenation in the local clothing markets.
US clothing retailer Gap has opened its first store in Australia in a bid to capitalize on the market's potential, stating that it intends to focus its brand positioning on product quality rather than discounting. However, as Australian consumers are continuing to be driven by value, Gap will have to offer a compelling proposition in order to gain favor among the growing legion of bargain hunters.
John Lewis may have been the leading name in the roll call of winners at last week's Verdict Customer Satisfaction Awards, but the Verdict poll of 5,900 consumers also revealed the winning retailers within individual sectors.
