It's a boy! Josh Holloway and wife Yessica Kumala welcome son Hunter Lee... but took SIX weeks to make their announcement
Josh Holloway and Yessica Kumala are parents again.
On Tuesday E! announced the Lost star and his wife had a baby boy named Hunter Lee six weeks ago, but only now are telling people.
The Intelligence star already has a daughter named Java with his wife of 10 years.
Josh's reps did not want to comment.
About to become parents again! Josh and Yessica, pictured here in Los Angeles in 2006, are welcoming their second child
The 44-year-old actor said in January during a Winter TCA press meeting for his show Intelligence they already picked out a name for the tiny tot.
Meanwhile, Josh - who married Yessica in October 2004 - admits he was initially worried that he wouldn't be able to bond with the baby like he has done with Java, but since speaking to friends and family he's realized that he will love the newborn just as much.
He said: 'I was not prepared for how much love I would have in me. So I'm a little worried, like how can I love something as much as I love my daughter? But everyone says your love just grows, so don't be afraid of that, so that's my only thing.'
Guess what?! Josh, pictured at the Winter TCA Press Tour in January, told reporters he was a family man
Josh initially revealed the news of his second child during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in mid-November.
'That's funny because I'm a family man,' the Intelligence star said in response to a question about being a TV sex symbol.
'I've got a four-and-a-half-year-old daughter and another one on the way. Pretty excited about that.'
After taking some time off after Lost wrapped up its final season so as to spend time with Java, Josh has gotten back in the game - starring in Intelligence, a new CBS series that debuted January 7.
Fatherhood: Josh is already a father to four-year-old Java
The soon to be father-of-two plays a high-tech intelligence agent with a microchip implanted in his brain, which allows him to hack into any data center and access key intel.
The role is quite a deviation from his snarky Sawyer character on Lost, something which drew him to the role.
'I definitely wanted to do something other than that character and this was also something I grew up loving,' Josh told E!
Doting dad: He said of being a dad - 'I was not prepared for how much love I would have in me. So I'm a little worried, like how can I love something as much as I love my daughter? But everyone says your love just grows'
'I grew up with three brothers and we always played spy and sneak and all these games. I grew up wanting to be James Bond or a Mission: Impossible agent.
'I was like this is a no-brainer and also it's just a skill set I haven't gotten to use a lot. I've done martial arts for years and I have a good bit of experience with weapons and so forth...I did it on Mission: Impossible for like a blip.
'It just naturally attracted me and I thought the script was really smart and current.'

With the character of Sam Wilson set to take over for Steve Rogers as Captain America in upcoming Marvel Comics, the question has been asked if (and/or when) we'll see the same thing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Appearing at Fandomfest in Louisville, Kentucky this weekend, actor Anthony Mackie was asked that very question and if he'd like to see his character get 'promoted' as such in the films. He tells ComicBook.com he would, but knows if he does it'll be some time down the line:
"I don't know. I mean I'm excited about it. I think if it goes that way in the movies that it would take a long time, because there's so many evolutions before that.
You know, I'm excited to see Sebastian play Cap. I think Sebastian's a great actor. But I love seeing Chris Evans as Cap, so I feel like they can go any way they want. I'm enjoying my part beside Cap. I'm in no rush to be Cap."
What if Kevin Feige were to give him the call? "First up for duty! First up for duty!"

Topic: Pruning, Vines
Title: How to prune wild mustang grape vines.
Answered by: Guy Thompson
QUESTION:Now that my mustang grapes are harvested. When can I trim them out of the tree top and redirect them to an arbor where I can reach them next year? The main vine is at least 3" across. The vines from this reach at least 50' away. What diameter of this vine can I cut that will re sprout with new growth? Thanks !
Grape vines should be pruned in the dormant season (winter). Pruning later than February may result in "bleeding" of sap from the cut stems, but this will not be a serious problem. A good discussion of how to prune is given in this web site. However, this discussion does not deal with wild vines growing far up into a tree.
Hopefully, your vines have lateral branches spaced along the main stem. You want to prune back these laterals so that each has only 2 to 3 sets of buds. It is these that will produce the fruit. Leaving too many buds will result in smaller fruit. If the lower section of the main stem is free of lateral branches you had better save a greater length of main stem until you reach the point where laterals and their buds are located. Attaching the bare main stem to a horizontal arbor will encourage additional lateral branches to come out in the next growing season.
If you can retain suffiicient buds on the lower portion of your vines, it should be safe to prune even a 2-3 inch thick stem. If that is done, it might be a good idea to paint the cut surface with pruning compound or paint, although many experts say that pruning paint in unnecessary.

It was the start of an exciting journey which came to an abrupt and rather perplexing end.
A party of gnomes decided to make the quiet streets of Grace Hill Estate in Dairy Flat their new home unexpectedly one night in June.
The large family of around 20 gnomes, all shapes and sizes, spent their evenings wandering around the estate.
Unfortunately every single one, along with a flock of 12 pink flamingos, has now disappeared and all are assumed kidnapped.
The gnomes are owned by a couple of residents, who wish to remain anonymous, who started the "bit of fun". But other residents got in on the game and moved the gnomes to different spots overnight.
The gnomes have been seen in gardens, on top of the welcoming sign, under letterboxes and next to houses.
But since they their last placement, walking across a road, they have disappeared.
The missing gnomes haven't been reported to police but the owners are wanting them back.

The sequel to the beloved Newbery Honor Book, Belle Prater's Boy
Since Belle Prater inexplicably disappeared about a year ago, her son, Woodrow, and his cousin Gypsy have been searching for answers. Then, on the stroke of midnight on Woodrow's birthday, the phone rings. No one is at the other end of the line, but Woodrow is certain it was his mama. They find out that the call was placed from nearby Bluefield, and set out to see if they can track her down. Joining them is Cassie Caulborne, the new girl in school, who is endowed with the gift of second sight. Unfortunately, they can find no trace of Belle. Once again, Woodrow realizes that perhaps even worse than not knowing where she is, is not understanding why his mama would leave him.
How Woodrow, Gypsy, and Cassie come to understand the truth, and Woodrow eventually finds Belle, fills this oftrequested sequel to Belle Prater's Boy with magic and suspense.
The Search for Belle Prater is a 2006 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
Editorial Reviews
"Readers who have longed for a follow-up to White's Newbery Honor Book, Belle Prater's Boy (1996) will be delighted with this fine sequel. Characterization, dialogue, and setting are among White's many literary strengths, and she doesn't disappoint here. The friendship between story-telling Woodrow and joke-cracking Gypsy just grows richer." Booklist, Starred Review
"A worthy sequel to Belle Prater's Boy (Farrar, 1996)...the warmth, love, and humor of that book are here as well." School Library Journal
"Wonderful." VOYA
"Readers . . . will be deeply satisfied by this elegantly conceived sequel with its tiny glints of magic." Kirkus Reviews
"The plot is well paced, and readers will be gratified when good things happen for Woodrow. The down-home warmth of the first book carries over through Gypsy's narration; her voice is as lilting and fresh as ever." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Retains the distinctive colloquial cadences of Gypsy's first-person narrative." The Horn Book
"A positive read in which wit and understanding illustrate a way of accepting human shortcomings." SIGNAL

My cousin, Woodrow Prater, and I, Gypsy Arbutus Leemaster, were both seventh graders in Mr. Collins's homeroom. We were in the same building as the high school, and we changed classes like they did, but we would not be considered a part of the high school until eighth grade. That's how it was in Coal Station, Virginia, in the fall of 1954.
Mr. Collins was a real good teacher. I'm sorry to say he was not very good-looking, and he certainly was not as funny as some teachers I'd had. Sometimes I didn't even think he was very smart. I mean, I wouldn't mention it to anybody, but once on the blackboard he misspelled the word committee. (He left off the final "e.")
Even so, everybody loved Mr. Collins. He was kind. For example, when Cassie Caulborne joined our class in December, he went out of his way to put her at ease. Like Woodrow, Cassie was from the backwoods, and she was littler than the rest of us. You could tell she was nervous about coming to a new school. So, during homeroom, Mr. Collins let her sit in the back row, where she wouldn't be so public.
Then he quietly introduced her to the class and asked her if she would like to tell us about herself. She shook her head no because I think she was too scared to speak.
"That's all right, Cassie," Mr. Collins said. "The rest of us know each other, but you don't know anybody yet, and I understand what it's like to be in a new place."
Cassie just smiled.
For our first class, English, we stayed in the same room with Mr. Collins. It was during that period that he gave us an assignment to write a page about our life. I thought this was peculiar, because we had done an oral exercise very much like this one the first week of school. Then it occurred to me that this was Mr. Collins's way of introducing Cassie and the class to each other.
During recess we socialized in our homeroom, because it was raining buckets outside. A few of us moved near Cassie to make her feel included.
"Cassie, I'll declare, with your curly red hair, you put me in mind of Little Orphan Annie," Woodrow said to her. "Did anybody ever tell you that?"
I elbowed Woodrow in the ribs because I was quite sure Cassie did not want to look like Little Orphan Annie. In the funny papers she didn't have any eyes.
"Well, she does look like her!" Woodrow said, scowling at me. Then he faced Cassie again. "Little Orphan Annie's cute and tiny like you."
Cassie blushed and smiled. After that, she was more relaxed. She even joked a bit with us.
The next day Mr. Collins asked for volunteers to read our autobiographies, as he called them, to the class. I believe he was hoping that Cassie would volunteer, and he was not disappointed. After five or six others read their papers aloud, Cassie raised her hand.
"Good," Mr. Collins said to the class. "Cassie has agreed to share the story of her life with us this morning."
Everybody turned around and looked at Cassie as she stood up. I don't know what we expected, certainly nothing extraordinary, but we were wrong.
"My full name is Cassandra Carol Caulborne," she read. "I was born twelve years ago and named after Grandma Cassandra on my mama's side. She was born with a caul, and so was I.
"My mama died when I was born, so Gram was the closest thing I had to a mother, and after she died, too, I had no one but Pap, who is a quiet, good man. He has huge hands and broad shoulders. He really loves me and shows it in many ways. Because of him and Gram, I never missed my mother as much as I might have.
"On our own, me and Pap lived up Caulborne Holler, which was named after my ancestors, and was once crawling with them, but now my kin are scattered all over these hills, and I was the last true Caulborne living in Caulborne Holler.
"A month ago our old pickup truck finally died on us. That's when me and Pap decided to move to Coal Station so that Pap could be close enough to walk to the bus station, where he is a driver.
"We moved into a house across the river by the railroad tracks. From our front porch we can see the backs of the business buildings in Coal Station. Even though our house is small and on the wrong side of the tracks, I like it.
"In Caulborne Holler I attended John L. Lewis Elementary School. By the time I got to the seventh grade, I was a big fish in a little pond, but now at Coal Station I am a little fish in a big pond. Still, I know I am going to like it here. I have always liked school.
"I love reading history better than anything. That's because sometimes I get so caught up in it, I think I am there. And when I gaze upon certain pictures from the distant past, I have feelings of homesickness."
Cassie finished abruptly, and sat down. Immediately Woodrow raised his hand and waved it around frantically.
"Yes, Woodrow," Mr. Collins said.
"What does it mean to be born with a caul?" Woodrow said.
"Cassie?" Mr. Collins said, directing the question to her, because he had no more idea than Woodrow did.
"Don't y'all know about the Caulbornes?" Cassie said.
We all shook our heads no.
"Well ..." Cassie hesitated. She had no script in front of her now, and she had to find the right words with all those eyes watching her. "Well ... you see, the Caulbornes helped settle these mountains more'n a hundred years ago. They come over from the homeland of Ireland where they were not treated good 'cause they had the gift. Over there folks made them out to be witches and devils."
"What is the gift?" Flo Muncy asked.
"The gift of knowing without hearing or seeing. It's the second sight."
"Oh, I've heard of that," I blurted out. "It's the sixth sense — knowing things without the use of the five known senses."
"That's it," Cassie said, then smiled at me, and went on with more confidence. "In Ireland the Caulbornes had an ordinary name — Mc-Something — but when they came over here, they made up a whole new name which to this day we're proud to own, and it tells the world what we are."
"Exactly what are you?" Woodrow said.
Cassie no longer hesitated. "One of us is born with a caul every second generation.
This time it's me. Next time it will be one of my grandchildren."
"But what is a caul?" Franklin Delano asked.
"It's a thick veil that covers the baby's face when it's born. That's how everybody knows you have the gift. When you're born with a caul, you know things all your life without seeing or being told."
Woodrow and I exchanged significant glances. Yeah, Cassie Caulborne was our kind of person.
"If you was in a poker game," Buzz Osborne said to Cassie, "could you tell when an ace was coming up?"
"No," Cassie said. "It don't work that way. My gram always reminded me that I am not in charge of the gift. It's in charge of me, and I don't always know when it's gonna open a door for me."
"If the gift came from your mother's side of the family, how is it that you have the name of Caulborne?" Mr. Collins wanted to know.
"Because whoever marries a Caulborne woman has to agree to take her name, so as to keep it and the legacy alive. That's how Pap became a Caulborne when he married my mother."
"So when you marry," Woodrow said, "your husband will become Mr. Cassie Caulborne?"
Everybody laughed, including Cassie.
"No, just the last name," she said.
"I must say, I find this fascinating," Mr. Collins said. "And tell me, Cassie, why are you a year younger than your classmates?"
"Oh, that's because I could already read when I started school, so they moved me right on up a grade."
"And who taught you to read, my dear?"
Only Mr. Collins would ever say a thing like "my dear."
"Why, nobody taught me, Mr. Collins. I just knew. I reckon I always knew. The same as I know how to take fire out of a burn. And how to stop the flow of blood from a wound. It's just something I know."
The class was puzzled, but respectful, and Cassie was glowing. She had made a good impression her second day in a new school. After that, it was like she had always been with us.CHAPTER 2
A few weeks later, on New Year's Eve, we were celebrating Woodrow's thirteenth birthday next door at Granny and Grandpa Ball's house. Seated around the big wooden table with them were my mama, Love Ball Dotson; my stepfather, Porter Dotson, owner and editor of the local newspaper, the Mountain Echo; Porter's brother, Dr. Hubert Dotson, affectionately known as Doc Dot; his wife, Irene; their twin girls, Dottie and DeeDee, who were four years old; and, of course, me and Woodrow.
By this time Woodrow had been living in Coal Station for eight months. Before then he had always lived up in an isolated holler called Crooked Ridge. He had moved in with Granny and Grandpa when his daddy started drinking too much, following the disappearance of his wife and Woodrow's mother, Belle Ball Prater. That event had been so mysterious, and so traumatic to our family, that she was never far from our thoughts.
Any time you got Porter, Doc Dot, and Grandpa together, you could be sure there would be a little blackberry wine and a lot of very loud joking around, because Grandpa and Granny were both hard of hearing. Doc Dot started the fun during dinner by shouting a story about one of his patients who came into his office with a banana in one ear, a cucumber in the other, and a carrot sticking up each nostril.
"Doc, I don't feel so good," the man said. "Whatsa matter with me?"
And Doc said, "It's obvious, my man, you don't eat right!"
When we had all finished laughing, Woodrow said, "Now, Gypsy, you tell one."
"I thought you'd never ask," I said.
Joke telling and piano playing were my two specialties. Everybody said so. I proceeded to tell a joke I had been saving up for an occasion such as this.
"These three mama potatoes all got together, see, and they started into bragging about their daughters," I said.
"And the first mama said, 'My daughter is gonna marry a royal Irish tater!'
"And the other mamas went 'Ooo' and 'Ahh.'
"And the second mama said, 'Well, that's nothing. My daughter is gonna marry a rich sweet tater!'
"And the other mamas went 'Ooo' and 'Ahh.'
"Then the third mama said, 'Well, my daughter's gonna marry the television newsman John Cameron Swayze!'
"'John Cameron Swayze!' The other mamas sneered at her and laughed and said, 'Why, he ain't nothing but a commentator!'"
While everybody was laughing at my joke, Grandpa's German shepherd, Dawg, nudged me from under the table, and I slipped a piece of turkey to her. She had been creeping back and forth between me and Woodrow to gobble up our scraps.
Granny, Mama, and Irene had been cooking all day, so we were blessed with not only turkey and the fixins but also ham, salads, four kinds of vegetables, hot rolls with real butter, and sweet iced tea. Grandpa said some people don't see this much food in a month.
And Porter said, "Well, I, for one, won't have to eat again for a month."
"Just listen to him," Mama teased. "He'll be eating again before he goes to bed tonight."
Porter smiled at Mama and touched her hand where it rested beside her tea glass. There was a time when they would not have been comfortable doing that in front of me, because I had been what you might call hostile toward my stepfather. But Lordy, you can get tired of being mad all the time.
At the end of the meal, Granny brought out a birthday cake with thirteen candles for Woodrow, and he blew them all out in one breath, while we sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Then there were presents for him to open, and his face became so flushed with excitement, you hardly noticed that behind his thick glasses, Woodrow had crossed eyes.
Shortly before midnight we gathered in front of the TV to watch the ball drop in Times Square. Grandpa puffed up when everybody commented on how much improved his television reception was. Just a while back, you could hardly make out people's faces on the only channel available, especially if the weather was bad, but now there were two channels coming in, with hardly any interference ever.
The cause of this improvement came about right before Christmas when a bunch of fellows in town, led by Grandpa, had constructed a homemade antenna from bed rails and erected it on the top of the mountain. They christened it the Christmas Tower. Everybody who owned a television set in Coal Station had strung their TV lines up the mountain and hooked on to it. Now Mama and Porter were talking about buying a TV set for us.
When Grandpa stood in the middle of the living room floor to make an announcement, we turned the volume down.
"It's time for our New Year's Revelations," he said.
"It's an annual tradition in our house. Now, if you want to know the difference between a New Year's Revelation and a New Year's Resolution, then lend an ear, for I am about to tell you."
Grandpa got awful wordy when he drank blackberry wine.
"A revelation is a disclosure, something you are revealing for the first time. And in our family, it's something you want to get off your chest. It started when me and Granny were celebrating our first New Year's Eve together after we got married. That was the evening she told me that it drove her crazy the way I sucked my teeth after dinner, and —"
"Do what!" Woodrow exclaimed.
"Yeah," Grandpa said. "Don't you know what teeth sucking is?"
Woodrow shook his head.
"Then I'll show you," Grandpa said, and screwed his mouth up funny.
"Please don't!" Granny said.
But it was too late. Grandpa was standing there in the middle of the living room, making a clacking sound with his tongue against his teeth.
"Anyway," Grandpa said, when the laughter had settled down, "that was the year we started our New Year's Revelations. When Love and Belle got old enough to join in, they started doing it, too. Every year on New Year's Eve we tell something that bothers us. You can revelate to just one person if you want to, or you can do it openly in front of everybody.
"I remember one year when Belle was about thirteen. She'd been holding it in for most of the year, but she saw this as her chance. Once she got started, she had a pure tee fit."
"'Bout whut?" Woodrow said.
"I remember," Granny said. "It was about how we made fun of her hopes and dreams. She was always talking about flying, you know. When she was little, she wanted to be Peter Pan or the angel in the Christmas play."
"And don't forget the grapevine swinging on the hillside," Mama reminded her.
"Oh, yeah, the grapevine swinging. She wanted to be Tarzan, too," Granny said.
We all laughed softly.
"Then when she was older," Grandpa continued the story, "she wanted to strap on a parachute and jump out of an airplane. By the time Belle made her revelation, she was gettin' serious. She wanted to be an airplane pilot. Nothin' else would do."
"But, you know, at this point in her life," Granny said, "we'd heard so much about this flying business that we didn't pay attention to her anymore. We'd just laugh whenever she said something about it. And that's what burned her up — the way the rest of us brushed her off."
"She complained that we had taught her to believe in her dreams," Grandpa said, "but that when she tried to tell us what her dreams were, we all laughed at her. She had a legitimate complaint."
"Yeah, she did," Granny agreed. "And we never realized before how much flying meant to her, and how much our laughter disturbed her. But she sure let us have it. And we tried to do better after that."
"Funny thing, though," Grandpa said. "We didn't hear much about flying anymore. It was almost like once she had us on her side, she got bored with it."
Woodrow was hanging on to every word about his mother. "She still talked about it once in a while," he said, "but not a lot. She dreamed about flying out of Crooked Ridge over the mountains."
Everyone was quiet for a moment. With sad, affectionate smiles, we were each lost in private thoughts of Belle.
"Anyway," Granny finally said, "the New Year's Revelation does help to clear the air. You have a whole year to think about what you're going to reveal so's you don't say something frivolous."
"Yeah," I said, "tooth sucking is pretty important stuff."
"When you hear what bugs somebody else, it makes you more considerate," Granny said.

Meet the Author
Ruth White is the author of many notable books for children and young adults, most recently Buttermilk Hill. She lives in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania.
Ruth White was born and raised in the 1940s and 1950s in and around the coal-mining town of Whitewood, Virginia.
"My fondest memories are of playing in the hills and creeks, and of family read-alouds, which we had almost every day. Before I started school, I knew that I would be a writer someday, and I never wavered from that goal. What I did not know was that I would be writing about those days in which I was living. I had visions of stories involving princesses and swashbuckling heroes, lovesick cowgirls and faraway places with strange-sounding names. It was only after I grew up and away from the Appalachian region that I realized what a wealth of unique story material I had stored up in my memories during those early years, and therein lay my greatest asset as a writer."
"My sisters and I were not only avid readers but also great mimics. We had no television, but we had the movie theaters close by, and we were privileged to see the latest movies from Hollywood, which we would later act out to one another. We would write down all the lines we could remember from a good movie and learn them for our own entertainment. We also picked up every song that came along and developed a remarkable repertoire of folk, country, blue-grass, spiritual, and popular music. To this day we know the words to thousands of forgotten songs. We are a wealth of music trivia! I often use the lyrics of some of these songs in my books."
"Upon graduation from high school, I had a rare opportunity to go to college. It was almost as if the fates took over for me at this point and manipulated me right into a good education and preparation for a future career. There was a beautiful little college down in North Carolina called Montreat, which I still dream about and think of sometimes with a feeling much like homesickness. Going there was a turning point of my life. It lifted me out of the only life I had ever known and introduced me to a wider world. From there I went on to Pfeiffer College, married, had a child, and settled down to being a mother and teacher."
"But the memories of the hills did not leave me. They did, in fact, haunt me, so that I began writing down some of those memories, and from these writings my novels sprouted, took root, and grew like living plants. They have gone through many revisions, on paper as well as in my mind, but what they represent for me is a record not only of my past but of the Appalachian region."
"It is important to me that the children of today read these books and feel they can escape for just a little while into another place and time which once was very real. I want them not only to enjoy my stories and my particular style but also to feel what
I used to feel when I was in the habit of reading every book I could find -- 'This feels right. I love this. Someday I will write books like this.' "
Ruth White holds Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Library Science. She worked in schools as both a teacher and a librarian in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia before moving to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where she writes full time.

Best book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
I chose this book because it was on the Missouri's Mark Twain Book Nominee list for 2007! It is a sequel to Belle Prater's Boy, but you don't have to read the first one to enjoy this! The author keeps dropping clues throughout the book to keep the reader thinking! A must read!
I love this book! It is just ssssooooooo beautiful! I read the first book and it was equally exciting and memorable as this one. I recommend y'all read the first one 'cause it is just so good.

Here's an important reminder when management gets nervous about terminating a so-called whistle-blower. Solid, legitimate reasons for discipline take precedence over protections to which whistle-blowers are entitled.
Simply put, if you can show that the employee is a poor performer whom you would have fired regardless of her whistle-blowing, firing her doesn't automatically mean you will lose a lawsuit.
Recent case: Jenna, who had some paralegal training, worked in HR as an assistant. The HR office had staff of two: Jenna and her boss. Senior executives had an outside attorney on retainer to handle unusual HR legal matters.
When Jenna's employer was seeking advanced certification as a model telemarketing company, it had to undergo a compliance review. It became apparent during the review that HR wasn't being properly run. The company ordered Jenna to spend almost all her time organizing personnel files and generally making...(register to read more)

NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Extending its commitment to innovation in retail with mobile technology, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced and previewed a new wave of mobile apps to help retailers market to and engage with consumers, enhancing the shopping experience and boosting customer loyalty. SAP® Customer Loyalty, SAP® On-Shelf Availability Manager and SAP® Retail Store Ops Associate mobile apps were announced at the NRF 102nd Annual Convention & EXPO, being held January 13-16 in New York City, where SAP is located in booth 1407.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)
The mobile explosion has taken the retail world by storm. It has empowered consumers, making them more informed and demanding. As a result, show rooming has become one of the biggest challenges retailers face today. During this past holiday season 80 percent of retailers expected to be impacted by this phenomenon with an average sales loss of five percent. Yet, only 10 percent had a strategy to tackle this challenge.1 These new SAP mobile apps enable retailers to deliver a superior omni-channel experience both directly to consumers' mobile devices and via mobile equipped in-store associates.
"With 70 percent of consumers grabbing for their phone while shopping, it's not surprising that mobile commerce revenue is expected to explode to US$1 trillion by 2017,"2 said Sanjay Poonen, president and head of Mobile Division, SAP. "It's natural that people want to connect with their favorite brands on their mobile devices, whether on the couch or in the store. This presents an opportunity for retailers to meet consumer demand, using mobile technology to deliver superior customer service, drive brand engagement and create unique experiences designed to suit the consumer need in a format they want."
To create customer loyalty and increase share of wallet, SAP plans to release SAP Customer Loyalty which would enable retailers to send unique offers straight to the customers' phones, thereby increasing promotion conversion rates and marketing return on investment (ROI). In addition, retailers may be able to provide real-time access to valuable information such as rewards granted, points available, status levels, and more to spark increased transactions.
SAP Retail Store Ops Associate empowers associates with in-store merchandising, sales and service. It provides store associates with detailed product insights to deliver exceptional customer service. Store associates can access information in back-end systems with an intuitive user interface, and can answer nearly any questions customers might have, especially during critical sales and service discussions. Retailers can improve workforce efficiency and store performance, increase shopper loyalty and customer and employee satisfaction and increase store sales. Available now on iPhone, retailers can:
- Look up real-time information on specific products, including regular and promotional price and duration of promotion, available stock levels, product descriptions and warranty information
- Correct inventory counts or transfer products
- Perform in-store markdown on the shelf
- Perform ad-hoc counting
The mobile app complements the SAP® Retail Store Ops Manager mobile app from a persona perspective.
SAP On-Shelf Availabilitymonitors sales transactions, detects discrepancies in sales patterns that might relate to product availability on shelf and issues warning. Available now on iPad, the mobile app for store associates provides different departments with user-friendly tools to respond to on-shelf availability issues in a timely fashion and correct the issue. The mobile app for store managers provides a monitoring instrument to view and follow the on-shelf availability situation, explore any possible correlation and use it for resource optimization. Retailers can:
- Have real-time insight into on-shelf availability on a weekly, daily and hourly basis, as well as into processing status and processing time
- Monitor sales transactions; detect discrepancy in sales patterns that might relate to the product availability on shelf; and issue warnings
- List products that might be out of stock
