Scottsdale, AZ (Sports Network) - Phil Mickelson fired a 4-under 67 on Sunday to complete a dominant, wire-to-wire victory at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Mickelson, who also won this event in 1996 and 2005, came within a horse-shoed putt of shooting 59 in the first round and never relented. The left-hander carded a 65 on Friday, matched the tournament's 54-hole scoring mark with a 64 on Saturday, and tallied five birdies during the final round to finish at 28- under 256, which tied for the second-lowest score in a 72-hole PGA Tour event.
It was the 41st career PGA Tour win for Mickelson and his first since capturing the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am title last February.
Brandt Snedeker, who entered the final round six strokes off Mickelson's pace, shot 65 at TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course to finish in second place at 24- under.
Scott Piercy fired a 61 and placed third at 23-under, Ryan Moore (65) took fourth at 22-under and Ryan Palmer (62) finished in fifth at minus-19.
More to follow.

Developing a centralized business analytics infrastructure that is highly reliable and secure can save money and increase productivity. It's a fact that business analytics can provide the insight users need to make adjustments, prevent slowdowns and enhance business effectiveness.
Download the white paper, Clabby Analytics/Enterprise Computing Advisors: Choosing IBM zEnterprise for Next Gen Business Analytics Applications from independent analysts Brad Day of Enterprise Computing Advisors and Joe Clabby of Clabby Analytics to learn:

Auto technology revs up at CES
Twenty years ago, one of the coolest things people owned was their car. Today, it's more likely to be their smartphone or tablet.
That fact hasn't been lost on the auto industry, which increasingly sees vehicles as rolling, Internet-connected consumer electronics devices.
At the International Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas, several carmakers showed off the latest in everything from in-car navigation and entertainment to collision-avoidance systems. Automakers exhibiting included Audi, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Ford, Hyundai, Kia and Lexus. Other carmakers, such as Tesla and Rolls-Royce, had their cars displayed in exhibits of their technology partners.
At the booth of chip maker Nvidia, Rick Tewell demonstrated what vehicle dashboards might look like in the not-too-distant future based on a cluster concept from auto industry supplier Delphi.
The dashboard was all digital. It could be personalized to an individual driver's tastes — with several display options. And it used graphics to convey navigation and vehicle performance information.
The dashboard included a video game-like image of the car. The image could be customized to match the make, model and color of the actual vehicle. If a sensor found a problem — say with the right front tire — the image rotates to face the driver and flashes a red light around the exact tire.
"Then, with the click of a button, it takes me over to a map that directs me to the nearest garage," said Tewell, senior manager of automotive software for Nvidia. "It also can talk though Google and tell me the closest garage that actually has my tire."
"And then, with the intelligence of these new processors, it will be able to say you're not going to make it to the nearest garage, so it goes ahead and calls roadside assistance for you."
For cars on the market today, electric carmaker Tesla has perhaps the beefiest technology panel out there. The roughly $50,000 Tesla S comes with a 17-inch touch screen display in the center console. The car is connected to the 3G wireless network for streaming Internet music.
Google Maps is integrated with the onboard navigation system. There are a variety of other apps to help drivers, including hands-free calling, energy use monitoring and rear camera viewing.
Some carmakers provide Internet connections by embedding wireless modems inside the car. Audi announced the 2013 Audi A3 will include a 4G Long Term Evolution wireless chip from Qualcomm. The carmaker says it will have the first vehicle with high-speed 4G wireless access to the Internet.
But other carmakers have opted to connect to the Internet through the driver's own cellphone rather than embedding a chip. There are pros and cons to each approach. The problem with embedding a chip is that it requires a separate service charge for the wireless data plan, and the modems could become outdated, said Doug VanDagens, global director of Ford Connected Services.
"You've got a processor sitting in your car for eight years, which is the average life of a car," he said. "The average life of a cellphone is 18 months."
Ford uses the "bring your own device approach." It offers a software development kit that lets programmers built apps that work with Ford's steering wheel controls, radio display and voice recognition technology.
"The neat thing (for app developers) is they take this code, embed it in their app, and nothing changes for them," said VanDagens.
"They code in the language they are used to. Customers get updates. If you have Pandora on your phone, if you jump into a Ford car, it works. You have voice control over the app."
The company now has 23 apps enabled to work with its system, including many Internet radio apps. It launched nine new apps that would work with its Sync system at the show, including ones from USA Today, Amazon Cloud Player and The Wall Street Journal.

Bodine is a 3-time Dover Winner Just Not Yet in Trucks
Crew Hopes This Trip They'll Tame the Monster, Putting the No. 30 Tundra in Victory Lane
- Bodine is the Reigning Truck Series Champion after earning his 2nd title in 2010
- Bodine is Third Driver in Truck Series History to Win Multiple Titles, and Clinch Early
- Bodine Owns 21 Truck Series wins with Germain Racing and 36 NASCAR career wins
- He has 40 NASCAR Career Starts at Dover including 3 Victories and One Pole
May 10, 2011 (Mooresville, N.C.) - As the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series gets ready to spend Friday the 13th at the Monster Mile, Todd Bodine and the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra team are thinking of how nice it would be to finally get their chance to hang out in Dover International Speedway's victory lane.
"It would mean a lot for me to win at Dover just because I've always done so well there. To not have a truck win there is disappointing. I've run well at Dover in all three divisions and it's always been one of my favorites. To get a win with this team would be pretty cool," said Bodine, who earned his first NASCAR career top-five finish at the Monster Mile in 1990.
Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. said that he and his team are just anxious to see a race track again after sitting idle since Nashville.
"I'm just ready to get back to racing. The beginning of the year is so spread out in the Truck Series that it's hard to get into a rhythm. Whether good or bad, you can't just keep rolling," said Hillman. "Dover means we're finally getting to places on the schedule where we should run good. Our No. 30 Germain.com Tundra actually hasn't run bad this year. We just haven't had great finishes."
Dover is a place that is such a unique race track—even pit strategy is unique at Dover. Teams are allowed to use two more tires there than other tracks—which means they will plan for an extra visit to pit road.
"Despite the track's name and our team's misfortunes there, I don't consider Dover a monster on the schedule. We have run better there than anyone else. It's just been bad finishes. You get more tires to work with at Dover, so you have a different pit strategy. It's another race, but it's a different race compared to other races on the Truck Series schedule," explained Hillman.
Bodine is ranked 7th in Truck Series championship points after five of 25 races.
Watch Bodine in the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra on Friday, May 13th, at Dover International Speedway. The action starts on SPEED at 8:00 PM Eastern with the NCWTS Setup, followed by race coverage at 8:30 PM. Can't get to a television? Tune your radio to your local MRN affiliate.

My Bully Bull grunt tube, it is cumbersome and a pain to pack around but you can make a canyon light up with bugles using that thing. It also works good for calling in other hunters if you're looking for a good conversation.
My Brunton Epoch binoculars, they get used more than anything I own for the outdoors and the best thing was I scored them on ebay for $475.
My Leatherman has to go on this list as well, I dressed three elk with it one morning when I left my regular knives in the saddle bags and you feel like Macgyver whenever you use it.

Did you know that the majority of books that are challenged or banned are for young adults?
This week the American Library Association puts on their annual celebration of our right to read. The ability to choose what we want to read (free of judgement) ensures that everyone has similar rights. That includes teens!
This year the library's teen and children's librarians are showcasing some of your favorite books that were recently challenged in states across the country.
The Washington Post recently wrote a piece on Banned Books Week, sharing why sometimes people challenge books. If you have any questions about why the public library is against censorship, ask teen librarian, Erica Gauquier.

After last week things seem to have quietened down here at Superdry HQ. However we've seen a fair few famous faces (all the F's!) spotted in Superdry this week!
X Factor mentor and judge, Nicole Scherzinger was spotted twice in and around the capital wearing Superdry. We think she looked fab in her joggers, lumberjack hood and lace rib vest and the Fisherman's beanie leaving our Regent Street store.
With the X Factor in mind, Union J were looking dapper in their suits on Saturday nights show and JJ rocked the Superdry + Timothy Everest Super Spy.
Tulisa paired her Stacker Classic Hood with a pair of denims whilst out and about – we've been going X Factor crazy!
TOWIE star and fashion fanatic, Lydia Bright took a liking to the Tassel Cardigan. It seems a few people are loving this, as radio presenters Fearne Cotton and Gemma Cairney were also spotted in it too.
Anna Friel was spotted outside stage door of her latest west end show Uncle Vanya in our Apres Crew and Torsby Crew!
Boy band Lawson have a been seen in our Anika fairisle crew and the tarpit leather jacket.
Thinking about it, it hasn't been a quiet week at all!

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – The Federal Trade Commission estimates Americans lost close to $1.5 billion in scams just last year.
Jennifer in West Knoxville asks: "Can you give us your list of new scams that target people of all ages?"
Let's start with Facebook, the very popular social media site. It's also become a favorite of cyber criminals who are constantly tweaking their scams.
Have you ever received a "friend" request on Facebook from someone you thought was already your friend? If you hit "accept," you may have just friended a scammer.
A popular recent scam has been the theft of people's online identities to create fake profiles, which can be used in a variety of ways such as through the Facebook lottery scam.
Be careful on social media sites. Keep your privacy settings high and don't share confidential information, like when you are going on vacation this summer.
This is one we've warned you about before. Your phone rings and the person on the line identifies himself as a representative from your local electric, water or gas company.
You are told you're late on your bill and you need to pay immediately or your utilities will be cut off.
Instead of accepting payment by credit card or check, the caller wants you to pay with a GreenDot Moneypak card, which allows the scammer to steal the funds and disappear.
Utility companies will never call you and threaten immediate service disconnection. Instead, a lengthy process usually takes place, typically involving multiple written notices about a delinquent account.
Wouldn't it be exciting to receive a call from the government informing you that you've been approved to receive a federal grant to pay for school, home repairs or unpaid bills?
The federal grant scam never seems to go away. In these schemes, the caller guarantees you a government grant. Here is the key: you are asked to pay a fee for their service.
Rather than supplying you with the promised grant money, the scammer only sends you a list of government agencies where grant applications can be obtained, usually for free.
6 On Your Side interviewed a man last year who lost close to $10,000 to this scam, believing he was getting free money for college. Don't become a victim.
You can see Don Dare's 6 On Your Side Answers every Tuesday and Thursday on 6 News at 4:00.
If you have a question you can send Don an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or call his 6 On Your Side hotline at (865) 633-5974.

Garden type
Urban garden
Trees in the garden give enjoyment all year round. They are very decorative, with beautiful colours in spring and autumn, and they provide shade in summer. You can still enjoy these benefits if you have a small garden by choosing small trees or trees that can be kept compact.
Beautiful foliage plants bring shape and colour in the garden right through the seasons. They are indispensable in every border. Just like in a bouquet, the foliage forms the base, the colours of the flowers contrast beautifully with the green background.
While living in a town or city undoubtedly has its advantages, there is almost always a lack of space. Here we have some design ideas aimed at creating a sense of privacy and space in a small garden or patio, providing an oasis of light and transparency where you can forget the daily hustle and bustle.

Dr. Gray joined Microsoft in 1995 as a Technical Fellow, researcher, and manager of the Bay Area Research Center. His primary research interests were large databases and transaction processing systems. He had a long-standing interest in scaleable computing - building super-servers and work group systems from commodity software and hardware. His work since 2002 focused on eScience: applying computers to solve data-intensive scientific problems. This is being posited as the fourth paradigm of science after experimentation, theory, and simulation.
Jim pioneered database technology and was among the first to develop the technology used in computerized transactions. His work helped develop e-commerce, online ticketing, and automated teller machines. His later work on database technology has been used by oceanographers, geologists, and astronomers. Among his accomplishments at Microsoft are theTerraServer website and his work on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Microsoft's WorldWide Telescope software is dedicated to Jim.
On January 28, 2007, Jim disappeared at sea while on a solo sail to the Farallon Islands near San Francisco Bay. An unprecedented search by air, sea, and satellite was conducted, but offered no clues to the whereabouts of Jim and his boat, Tenacious. Jim's family officially called off the search efforts on May 31, 2007. A year later on May 31, 2008, a formal tribute and technical session was held for Jim on the campus of his alma mater, UC Berkeley. Hundreds of his friends and colleagues gathered together to celebrate his life, his friendships, and his achievements in the field of computer science.
Since Jim's disappearance, we (his colleagues in Microsoft Research) have heard from many of his collaborators about projects and collaborations that he had underway with them and who are unsure how to proceed. If you find yourself in this situation, please email email@example.com.

Lets not get into rumors etc..Just, who would you like to see them get.
Me, I'm going to go off-course here. The second he asked for a trade I've wanted the Bruins to got get Nino Niederreiter. His numbrs in the NHL, terrible. Played low minutes on the 4th line for that team last year, didnt get invited to camp and is fustrated in New York...I've seen enough of him to think he's a very good player with a huge upside in a bad situaton. I think if you brought him here now, put him on the third line, his potential would come to fruition. After that, won't be long before he's on one of the top two lines.
Again, i know his numbers tell a different story, I think if he came here he would be an impact player with a high ceiling. I would trade this years first rounder to get him.

America's Healthiest Fast-Food Breakfasts
Times have changed

Now, it's much easier to do right by your body: Fast-food legends like McDonald's and IHOP, as well as newbies like Cosi and Panera Bread, offer surprisingly healthy options that are filling, light, and much easier on your arteries.

SplenectomySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Splenectomy is surgery to remove the spleen. The spleen gets rid of old and damaged red blood cells. Red blood cells may be damaged by a health condition, such as thalassemia or sickle cell disease. When the blood cells pass through the spleen, they are often destroyed. This can leave the body with too few red blood cells.
Some people have their spleen removed to keep from losing too many red blood cells. Other people may need to have it removed if the spleen is injured in a car accident or by another trauma.
The spleen helps the body fight certain types of bacteria. If your spleen is removed, your body will be less able to fight serious infections. So your doctor will suggest that you have:
- Vaccines. The pneumococcal, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccines will help prevent serious infections, such as pneumonia. If you know in advance that you will have your spleen removed, plan to get these vaccines 2 weeks before your surgery. If you have your spleen removed after a trauma, you can have the vaccines as soon after surgery as your doctor recommends.
- Antibiotics. Many people who have their spleen removed take antibiotics for a while. They also may need to take antibiotics whenever they have a fever, which could be a sign of a serious bacterial infection. Talk to your doctor about what to do if you have a fever.

|Einspahr signs on as new Village Trustee, Sinner continues as Chairman
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 20 December 2012 17:25
Rick Einspahr reads the Oath of Office to a New Trustee as a new Wauneta Village Board member.
By Sheri Hink
The Wauneta Breeze
The Wauneta Village Board met for their regular meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 11 at the city building.
Village board members Page Johnston, Lloyd Sinner and Beau Kramer were present for the meeting and Tony Cribelli and Lynn Brunkhorst were absent. Incoming village board member Rick Einspahr was also present at the meeting.
Sheriff's Deputy Mike Dukes was also in attendance at the meeting.
New Trustee, 2013 board appointments
Rick Einspahr read and signed the Oath of Office for a new Village Trustee and was welcomed to the board by existing members.
The board also expressed their thanks to Lynn McBride for his service to the community.
Lloyd Sinner was again named chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Village of Wauneta.
Commissioners, boards and committees named
Sinner appointed the following individuals for the village in 2013:
Vice Chairman of the Village Board of Trustees: Tony Cribelli.
Village Clerk/Treasurer: Evelyn Skelton.
Village depositories (unchanged) as Valley Bank and Trust, Wauneta; First Bank and Trust, Adams Bank and Trust and Pinnacle Bank in Imperial; Wells Fargo Bank, McCook.

Village Attorney: Arlan Wine.

Utility: Lloyd Sinner, Tony Cribelli and Beau Kramer.
Street: Beau Kramer, Lloyd Sinner and Tony Cribelli.

Backhoe purchase approved
The village board approved the use of $14,200 of highway allocation funds to pay for the purchase of a new backhoe for the village.
The village's current backhoe will be traded in on the purchase of a 2012 Case 590 Super N backhoe.
The retail price of the equipment is $172,741 but the village will only have to pay $14,200 out of its pockets after the $63,541 government discount, $75,000 trade-in value of the current backhoe and reimbursement of $20,000 from a yet-to-be-named outside source.
Utilities policy for renters v. landlords
Village board members discussed possibly developing a new policy for the way utilities are handled based on ownership of the property where services are offered.
Village employees cited a recent occurrence where an individual who rented a property in town was behind on his/her utilities and now is unable to pay the bill due.
Per the existing policy the village disconnected service to the property and as a courtesy notified the landowner.
The landowner requested the utilities be turned back on at the property. The village clerk informed the landlord utilities could be reestablished, but under the landowner's responsibility.
Board members discussed this issue and similar issues that have occurred in the past. Their general thoughts were that the landlord is ultimately responsible for the payment of utilities at a property they own.
Board members asked the village clerk to research how such issues are handled in other municipalities and bring her findings back to a future village board meeting.
Sheriff's report and recent dog issues
During his report, Sheriff's Deputy Mike Dukes reported on the month's activity including recent issues with dogs at large and one dog who bit someone.
It was reported by village staff that there are currently three counts of dog-related issues in the village. One issue of four adult dogs at a location, one of nuisance dogs and one potentially dangerous dog.
The village superintendent could not share details of the occurrences at the meeting, only stating that Arlan Wine, the village attorney is working on the instances.
Clerk's report
Village clerk Evelyn Skelton reported the village has received $373 from the Yucca Run and Wauneta's Got Talent at Harvest Fest. The funds were designated to go towards new banners for main street.
Skelton also reported that the village's auditors were in a week ago and things went well.
She also noted that the village will receive new electric rate increases from Southwest Public Power District and Nebraska Public Power soon regarding electric rate increases in January.
It was noted that Bob McDonald with ESC will look at the increases and current rates to make recommendations on rate increases for consumers.
The village's plan is to pass along the rate increases at the same cost incurred by the village.
Superintendent's report
Village superintendent Bill Bischoff reported the well project is 80 percent completed.
The SCADA systems are installed in all buildings and the electronic parts are running the wells.
The only portion yet to be installed is the electronic flow meter.
He stated, "it's a matter of tieing things together" and the project will be complete.
Bischoff also reported the village is in the process of installing new service to a home being built in town.
The village employees are busy getting winter equipment ready to go and looking good.
It was also reported that Wayne's Tree Service will be coming to town to work on two sets of trees the village trucks can't reach. The trees will be trimmed to be clear of power lines.
Other business
Board members approved a request for the village to pay half the cost of candy for Santa Saturday on Dec. 15.
The village board approved purchase of a full page ad in the Wauneta Breeze's 125th anniversary edition which will come out in early 2013. Half of the page will be devoted to the village and half to the nursing home. The total cost of the ad is $725.
Board members discussed, reviewed amounts and approved employee Christmas bonuses for village employees.
The Wauneta Village board's regular meeting time is the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. MT. The public is welcome to attend Village board meetings.

How to make the right GRC software selection?

Governance, Risk and Compliance software selection process
A client of mine recently asked me about what I have seen as the most effective way to run a selection process. Now I know this may seems a conflict of interest, a GRC solution vendor writing on the GRC software selection process and the need for a GRC platform. Still I think I can give you some dos and donts on a GRC software selection process since I have been there many times.
Let's start with the need for a GRC software platform. Why do you need such?
Of course investing in a solution needs a compelling event. Either the cost for risk management and compliance becomes very high, or the process takes too long to be responsive to stakeholders or the 'in control' statement cannot be guaranteed any longer. Also external regulators can advise you to implement software.
Before you start thinking about a GRC platform carefully review the risk and compliance maturity level of your organization and the scope of the problem. This will help you make the judgment between 2 approaches. First approach is what we call 'point solution', second approach is 'enterprise solution'.
The first approach, Point Solution, is best when the compelling event is there but the scope is limited to one area. On a single point of your GRC activities you have a pain that must be resolved in a fairly short term. In this case you can search for specific capabilities with specific knowledge. You can make a selection of vendors that operate in the area where you have the pain and select the partner that understands your area. Of course you might want to consider your ambition on the long term. If your long term ambition is Enterprise wide GRC integration you might still look at enterprise vendors and use the specific area as a 'pilot' for further extension.
The second approach, Enterprise Solution, is best when the compelling event is on the integration of Governance, Risk and Compliance. The term risk and control convergence often comes up here. This approach requires a lot more work than the point solution and may have cultural impact. You might consider a second party to help you go through this project. A second party (consulting firm) can help you in making critical decisions and in reviewing your current (silo based) approach to GRC. They can keep the holistic view for you. Every silo needs to be reviewed and mapped to the enterprise approach. This will not come without discussions and sacrifices!
So the need is there, now how to make your selection?
In the first point solution approach there are just two considerations, short term or long term? In case of the short term do NOT select an enterprise vendor and go for the right point solution. Advantages are lower cost and shorter implementation time. Second consideration, long term, means a selection between enterprise GRC software vendors and consider the first phase as a pilot for the enterprise approach. Still you might want to involve a consulting firm with specific knowledge.
In the second enterprise approach you will go for an enterprise vendor. This is where you want to be careful in setting up your selection. I personally have seen many of these selection processes since I have been in such selections. And this is where I want to give you some guidance to save you a lot of time and money.
First do NOT expect the enterprise vendors to differentiate on functionality. The GRC software market has made an evolution in the last 10 years that have resulted in a fairly high mature software market. So a 'beauty contest' is a waste of money and resources. Outcome will be equal for all vendors and you will be stuck between your user community and the vendors in the process. You might get questions from your management team why you spend so much time and resources without any outcome.
Secondly involve your end users in the selection process early, but do not expect 20 people working in silos to come to one single conclusion. Again you will end up in a long discussion with no outcome. Have a small group of people (3 preferably) to make the selection.
Thirdly make your selection criteria known upfront and make them measurable. Also involve the vendors in the process and be open to them. If you are open and honest you will get transparent, open and honest answers. If you hide, vendors will hide! Criteria should be based on experience in your market, understanding of your organization, size and financial stability, ability to deliver in time and within budget, alignment of implementation approach to your implementation methodology and the cultural fit.
Again this may look preaching to the choir but I hope I just saved you time and money that you can invest in your implementation.

The Watch Is Headed To Blu-ray in November
The Watch, Fox Home Entertainments story of a neighborhood crew who spends a lot of time jerking around until a real alien-oriented emergency arises, didnt spend too long in the box office, which is pretty sucky for a film boasting three big names and Richard Ayoade.

Neighborhood Watch Footage At CinemaCon Reveals The Aliens
Due to the situation with Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, the upcoming Akiva Schaffer-directed comedy Neighborhood Watch has hit a few speed bumps.

Future Neighborhood Watch Trailers Will Draw Attention To The Aliens
The Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case is one of the most hotly debated subjects in the country right now, but regardless of who is right there is one company that is most definitely being hurt: 20th Century Fox.

Fox Pulls Neighborhood Watch Marketing In Wake Of Trayvon Martin Case
The studio points out, rightly, that they put together the marketing campaign well before the Trayvon Martin story came to light, and that the teaser poster was inevitably going to be replaced closer to the film's July 27 release date. They're not yanking the advertising entirely, just hitting pause while the story plays out and they figure out the moment to market a comedy called Neighborhood Watch without bringing a terrible story to mind

Neighborhood Watch Teaser Trailer Boasts Child Harassment But No Aliens
With his Oscar nomination, 21 Jump Street coming in a few weeks and this movie opening July 27, Jonah Hill is having a hell of a year. And he's in good company too-- as sick as you may be of some of the nonsense Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn has made, they're more than balanced out by the likes of British import Ayoade (of The IT Crowd and director of Submarine) and the talent behind the screen

Just past a very small Idaho city called Arco (of some international scientific fame), but not all the way to a hamlet called Moore, is a place the locals call Lost River. It's probably called that because the Big Lost River flows through. It's actually not a big river, and sometimes it doesn't even flow to, let alone through, the little valley. When it does, it gets lost out in the desert somewhere downstream, between Arco and Idaho Falls. It just flows into the ground.
My mother's people in Lost River are more constant than the river. So I thought I'd try looking them up in the US Censuses at WorldVitalRecords.com.
In the 1930 Census
First, I found them in the 1930 Census. In the image below, in household #8, Ross O. Babcock is my mother's father. Bertha A. Babcock is her mother. Agnes J. and "Baby" Babcock are her older sister and brother, respectively. My mother isn't there, because she was born in 1931. (more…)

Logistics news: Analyst says ocean shippers will not see softer rates
June 10, 2010 - LM Editorial
Rosalyn Wilson, a transportation consultant for Delcan Corporation, provided LM with an exclusive interview on the eve of the release of The 21st Annual "State of Logistics Report," noting that disruptions in ocean carrier deployments has had dire consequences for shippers.
"The past couple of years have been very hard for vessel operators," she said. "Given the weak demand for goods, they canceled orders for new buildings, and scrapped a lot of existing capacity. Now that the global economy is improving, there are too few boxes for shippers to find in every regional market."
The annual benchmark report released yesterday shows the continued impact of the economic slowdown on the U.S. logistics industry. Released by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and presented by Penske Logistics, it reveals that total U.S. logistics costs dropped again last year, showing a significant decrease from 2008.
"While this trend is likely to continue," warned Wilson, "shippers should not expect to see ocean rates coming down. They are about as low as they can go now for carrier's to conduct sustainable levels of service."
The report, authored by Wilson, shows the continued impact of the economic slowdown on the U.S. logistics industry. Overall, indicators show improvements in the fourth quarter with a focus on future direction.
"The economy is beginning to recover, and although time will tell how the logistics sector deals with the recovery, those companies that use the statistics and industry insight contained in this report will be better prepared for the business activity ahead," said Rick Blasgen, CSCMP President and CEO.
"This research presents data for company leaders to be able capitalize to on the recovery as it occurs, such as restructuring their distribution networks to maximize efficiency and minimize miles, investing in technologies to facilitate 'green' transportation, and improving real-time data flows to increase visibility and enhance productivity."
