Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Teams
Now in its 19th year, the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot has become one of the most prestigious moot court competitions in the world. It takes place every year in Vienna, Austria and it sees participants from almost 300 law schools, coming from more than 60 countries. This moot is an amazing opportunity to foster the study of international commercial law and rules of arbitration for the resolution of international business. Every year, students study a problem based on an international sales transaction subjected to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and involving procedural issues governed by one of the many arbitration rules from arbitration providers all around the world.
Students write memoranda for claimant and respondent and prepare oral argument based upon the memoranda. Every effort is made to have civil law schools argue against common law schools, so each may learn from approaches taken by persons trained in another legal culture. Similarly, the teams of arbitrators judging each round are from both common law and civil law backgrounds. The foremost scholars in the field of international sales law and international arbitration come to Vienna to act as arbitrators and judge the various teams in different stages of the competition.
In addition to the VIS moot in Vienna, a sister moot of the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration moot has been created in 2003 and it takes place every year in Hong Kong. The Vis Moot (East) uses the same Problem and the rules are essentially the same as the Moot that takes place in Vienna.
Loyola Law School participates to the VIS with two teams, one for the main VIS moot in Vienna and another one for the Vis Moot (East) in Hong Kong.
Website of the moot: http://www.cisg.law.pace.edu/vis.html (Vienna) and http://www.cisgmoot.org/index.html (Hong Kong)
Size of the team: 10 students, 6 for the Vienna Team and 4 for the Hong Kong Team
Units: 3
Pre-requisites: While there is no specific pre-requisite, students should take "International Commercial Arbitration" and "Law of Sales" courses.
Faculty Supervision: Professor John T. McDermott and Professor Bryan Hull
Application: Try outs for both the Vienna and Hong Kong VIS are held simultaneously every year in late June. Look out for announcements of dates of try outs in April/May.

I here a whisper,
when I'm in the cold,
I heard that whisper,
in days of old.
It sounded chilling with an
icy breath. It said
"Come to me, or go to death."
I here that voice wherever I
When I wake up from my
slumber, on a cold icy night,
I see a lonely Froslass next
to me, shiver in fright.
"Don't leave me, again." it
I here that voice where
ever I go.
When I sit on my porch in summer,
shooting the breeze, I see it next
to me with astonishing ease.
"I have left you, now death will not
wait. I will hide in the snow to
determine your fate."
I here that voice where
ever I go.
That next winter, I went
to my grave. I thought
about the snow girl,
and the choices I made.
Even in my grave, I hear it
ever day,
"I did not mean for you to
die this way."
I here that voice where
ever I go.

Swimming & Diving Take Split Of Fordham On Senior Day
Feb. 4, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - The UMass men's and women's swimming and diving teams split, Saturday afternoon, in their senior day meet against A-10 foe Fordham, with the men winning 170-123, and the women falling 171-129. Two pool records were broken in both the men and women's 200-yard freestyle event.
In the final meet of their collegiate career the Minutemen seniors showed standout performances both in the pool and on the diving board.
Joey Sbordon, one of three Minutemen seniors, got his day started off in setting a pool record in the 200-yard freestyle touching the wall at a time of 1:40.43. He was also able to grab first in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:47.60.
In his lone individual event of the day, Kyle Jennings placed first in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:50.61. He also was a member of the third-place 200-yard medley relay team with Beau Garufi, John Conway and Colin Mulcahy finishing with a time of 1:36.62.
The Minutemen breaststrokers were able to sweep both the 100 and 200-yard events. In the 100 Timmy Gladyshev (57.61) came in first followed by Glenn (58.33) and Garufi (1:00.50). In the 200 Glenn claimed first (2:08.23) followed by Garufi (2:10.44) and Gladyshev (2:10.57).
On the diving board, Jason Cook and Alexander Merkulov went one-two in both the one-meter and three-meter diving events. Cook had scores of 313.05 in the one-meter and 337.43 in the three-meter dives. Merkulov finished with scores of 250.42 and 254.48, in each dive, respectively.
The Minutewomen were led by their youth, Saturday, as all four first-place finishes came from freshman.
Three of the four first-place finishes came from Katie Arnott who claimed first in both the 100 and 200-yard breaststrokes with times of 1:07.85 and 2:27.07, respectively. She also took first in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:10.88.
The other top finish came in the 200-yard freestyle from Zoe Judd, who set a pool record in the process. She touched with a time of 1:52.25, two seconds ahead of the second place finisher. Judd would also go on to claim second in the 100 free (52.27) and third in the 50 freestyle (24.55).
Freshman Hannah Markey had two second place finishes in both the 200 backstroke (2:08.68) and the 100 backstroke (1:00.12). Senior Liz Sullivan also claimed two second place finishes in both the 100 breaststroke (1:10.09) and the 200 breaststroke (2:32.74).
Michaela Butler once again displayed her dominance on the diving board winning both the one-meter and three-meter diving events. She finished with a score of 255.07 in the one-meter and 260.18 in the three-meter.
The Minutemen and Minutewomen now look ahead to the Atlantic 10 Championships beginning on Feb. 22 from Erie Community College in Buffalo, N.Y.

March 8, 2012
Jeremy Staat, alumnus and veteran, will be embarking on a "Wall to Wall" bicycle ride across the country to raise awareness and support for veteran services and causes throughout the nation. Jeremy will be at the football victory bell outside of Sun Devil Stadium around 1:45 p.m. Thursday. Fans and the community are encouraged to come support Jeremy and his cause.
The tour will begin at the Wall of Valor in Bakersfield, Calif., Feb. 19, and stretch 4,623 miles over the course of 100 days to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C.
Friend and veteran Wesley Barrientos will accompany Staat on the Wall to Wall tour. Born in Guatemala, Barrientos enlisted in the U.S. Army upon turning 18 years old. It was during his third tour of Iraq in 2007 that his military convoy was struck by an explosive device, resulting in the amputation of both his legs.
Staat, a native of Bakersfield, Calif., attended Arizona State University in the spring 1996. He soon became a member of the Sun Devil football team, where he met friend and teammate Pat Tillman.
Of his relationship with ASU alum and fallen soldier Pat Tillman, Staat recalls, "It was a relationship of brothers. We didn't need to hang out or talk every day. We would just keep each other up to date on what was going on in each other's life."
After being drafted into the National Football League (NFL), Staat had stints with the Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams. It was while recovering from a knee injury that he learned of Tillman's passing.
"My mom called me and was beside herself. She kept saying, 'he's gone, Pat's gone,'" he said. "I lost it and when I got back to my apartment I just sat there and cried. His death put a lot of things in perspective for me though."
Having already acquired NFL retirement benefits that Tillman urged him to secure, Staat retired from football and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was quickly sent to the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot in San Diego for 13 weeks of basic training.
"They do what they do, not for the money, but for the love of their country," Staat said. "I loved being part of a team that was making a difference, and being in the branch of the military that could be anywhere in the world in 24 hours in an emergency situation."
Upon successfully completing basic training with knowledge of the weapons systems, Staat was eventually deployed to Iraq. Aside from his service in combat, Staat also managed to donate basic supplies and toys to the children of Iraq with the help of his friends at local churches in the United States.
In 2007 when Staat returned from abroad he decided to finish education via ASU online. In 2009, he proudly received a bachelor's degree in liberal arts and sciences.
"No one can ever take away your education," Statt said. "Getting my degree was one of my biggest accomplishments, especially since I was battling dyslexia."
The Wall to Wall ride is part of the Jeremy Staat Foundation. Through the foundation, Staat works as a motivational speaker in classrooms throughout the nation, recalling the life experiences of himself and others on the Veteran Speaking Board. The cause runs strictly off donations from the community to help keep much-needed funds in the classroom.
The ride will make a stop in Tempe, Ariz., March 8 and 9. To learn more about the tour, visit http://www.walltowallbicycleride.com or http://jeremystaatfoundation.com/.

You're in the prime of your life, just a handful of years from retirement. So what do you do if your employer gives you a pink slip and sends you on your way?
It happened to Robert (his name has been changed for privacy), now 62, about a year and a half ago. "I thought, 'I am not ready in any way to be without a job,'" he says. "I was too young to be retired, I wasn't ready to be retired, and I had to start looking for something else. And it became apparent pretty quickly that another job wasn't going to come along in a hurry."
The hunt for a new job at 60 can be daunting. After all, your age and experience may mean you'd come with a fairly expensive price tag, making you a less attractive candidate to some employers than applicants in their 20s or 30s. Many employers don't leap to hire people in their 60s.
What to do? Financial advisers and career pros offer these seven pointers:
Gauge your financial situation. Before you dive into the want ads, "assess where you are financially," says Sheryl Garrett, founder of Garrett Planning Network. "How long can you go without a paycheck before you're broke? And what kind of income do you need in that next position?"
You may find that you no longer need to earn what you did at your last job.

Sale of Forged Photos Embarrasses French Auction House
French police have opened an investigation into the sale at auction of 153 vintage photographs that are suspected of being forgeries, according to a report in The Art Newspaper.
The sale took place last March at Artcurial Deauville, an auction house in the city of Deauville near Le Havre on the English Channel. The auction house said prior to the sale that the photographs in question were made in 1848, and that they were from a collection alleged to have come from the family of a minor artist, Charles Edouard de Crespy Le Prince, who died in 1850.
The sale totaled €554,200, but some of the collectors who purchased lots have refused to pay or asked for the sales to be canceled and their money refunded after inspecting the works.
The investigation was initiated when Grégory Leroy, the independent expert who presided over the sale and initially verified the authenticity of the photographs, made a complaint to French police in December.
"This seems to have been a carefully prepared swindle," Leroy told The Art Newspaper. "We were all taken in."
The consignors, who are said to have bought the works in the 1990s believing they were authentic, sued the auction house unsuccessfully in December for the money owed to them from the sale.
Police have not commented on who, if anyone, they suspect in the forgery of the works.

Common Misconceptions about Dividend Growth Investing
The misconceptions are summarized below:
- One misconception about dividend investing is that it is not a good strategy because one needs a high amount of funds in order to generate a meaningful amount of income to live off. For example, high amounts such as $500,000 or $1,000,000 are often used as some sort of an arbitrary yardstick that somehow is the main requirement to use dividend investing. In reality this is nonsense, as investors can start dividend growth investing with as little as a few hundred dollars per month, and then reinvest dividends and keep adding funds to their portfolios. Of course, the less money you can afford to put in your portfolio, the more time you would need to achieve your target monthly dividend income. In addition, in order for any investor to live off their nest egg with any strategy, they do need to accumulate somewhat of a sizeable portfolio. If you decided to live off your rental properties, or sell off index funds, chances are you would need a portfolio size equivalent to a dividend portfolio. It is obviously important to be diversified, and pick quality like Coca-Cola (KO) or Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). The reason why dividend investing shines is because dividend income is more stable than capital gains, and therefore it is easier to live off of. In addition, a regular addition to a healthy mix of dividend growth stocks every month, can turn into a substantial income stream a few yeas down the road.
- Another misconception is that the only return dividend investors receive is the dividend payment. In reality, for many investors their returns are not limited to dividend yields only. Dividend stocks are not bonds, but represent ownership interests in real businesses that earn profits. If these businesses have the characteristics that will allow them to earn more profits over time, they can afford to pay higher distributions over time. The rising dividend payments can generate significant yields on cost over time. The rising earnings can also lead to the potential for capital gains as well. For example, companies like Procter & Gamble (PG) have been paying distributions for over one century, and raising them for 57 years in a row.
- Many investors mistakenly believe that somehow dividend stocks are similar to bonds. In reality dividend stocks are proxies for stocks and they are not a separate asset class. That means that dividend paying companies are real businesses, which generate profits from selling products and services, and therefore are more likely than not to earn more over time and pay more in dividends in the process. With dividend stocks, you can get both a very good total return, and a portion of your returns will always be positive. Stability in total returns is what would provide you the positive reinforcement to stick it out through thick and thin. When your growth stock collapses in the next bear market, the chance of a silly move that involves panicked selling at depressed prices increases exponentially.
- Another misconception is that dividend stocks are only for older investors. In reality, dividend stocks are great for investors regardless of their age – although older investors usually focus on higher yielding companies. There are also different life-cycles of dividend stocks. You can get the low yielders with high dividend growth like Visa (V), which is in the initial phase of building out a dividend growth history. You also get the stocks with yields and dividend growth in the sweet spot like McDonald's (MCD), which are maintaining their streak of consecutive raises. A company with a slow and steady approach of increasing earnings and gradually increasing dividends is ideal for building wealth. Over time, the growing amount of dividends that is reinvested at attractive valuations will mushroom into a cash machine that is able to provide for in retirement.
- Many investors still believe that it is better to focus on growth companies which reinvest everything back into the business. However, they fail to mention that such pure growth stocks are often overvalued, and your only source of return is dependent on the mercy of Mr Market. You can get quite the ride in the process. Taking risk in your younger years is fine, although gambling your money away is stupid. If you graduated college in 1994, and gambled with internet stocks in the 1990s and lost it all by 2001, you essentially lost on the first 7 years of compounding. You lost the most important period of compounding. In hindsight, you would have been better off just doing index funds because the contribution from the amount of funds in those first few years grows out to be the same as contributions for the next 30 years. Crazy, isn't it?
There are no short-cuts to learning investments. If you take too much risk, gamble with Chinese internet stocks or the Tesla's of the world in an effort to generate very high returns, you might end up burning yourself. The reason so many investors underperform is because they are gambling, trading in and out of stocks. They pay a lot in commissions, taxes and fees. That's not the way to build wealth for you – although it's a great way for your broker to send their kids to private schools. Also if you pick growth stocks, you won't be only selecting the Tesla's (TSLA) of the world.
- Many investors believe that dividends are a sign of inability of management to invest back into the business. The saying says that there will be no future growth in the company, which is why the stock should be avoided. The problem with this statement is that a company does not need to reinvest all its earnings in order to grow. A company that retains all earnings to fund internal growth might be masking the fact that it cannot earn an economic rate of return for shareholders. A technology company reinvests all profits to be number one in the field, but then it risks being the leader in buggies one day, at which point it will have to reinvest any remaining profits in other businesses to stay afloat. In addition, it could be because a company is cooking the books. Wolrdcom never paid a dividend, which made it very easy to generate great EPS gains on paper. Other stocks like Tesla (TSLA) are speculative companies, that has never turned a profit. They cannot afford to pay a dividend, as their product is still unproven to generate earnings. The stock price depends on investor expectations – what is fashionable today might be obsolete next year.
On the other hand, companies like Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) have paid dividends since 1974, and raised them ever since. This was 4 years after going public in 1970. Somehow they managed to grow into the largest retailer in the world. An investor who put $1000 in 1974 would be sitting at a neat $ 2.44 million today. This would be generating a neat $61,600 in annual dividend income. I guess dividend investors can have their cake and eat it too.
To Summarize:
- Dividend stocks are great vehicles to build wealth and to live off your nest egg. It is best to start investing in dividend stocks as soon as you have some meaningful savings, in order to start the knowledge accumulation process early. You learn a great deal of knowledge when you are just starting out dividend investing, so as you get promotions and save more money for your dividend portfolio, you can be ready to accumulate your nest egg. Thus, dividend stocks work for all investors.
- A dividend stock portfolio can easily yield 3%-4% today, but this income stream will increase over time, thus protecting you against inflation. You will also generate capital gains in the process, as the companies earn more and become more valuable to investors. When growth stocks are down 50 - 60% from their highs during the next bear market, your dividend stocks will be down, but the level of income will likely remain the same and even increase. It is much easier to get scared and sell everything when your stocks are down 50% if all you rely on is growth and capital gains. During a recession you get none! With dividend stocks at least you get some return on investment that is positive at all times. During a bull market you get cap gains and dividends and hence you have your cake and eating it too.

I simply wanted to say thank you for your blog and all the information you share. I too have made many of the mistakes you have discussed but during the last financial crisis I realized I had to do something different and became a dividend investor. Not too long after that I found your blog and became a dividend & growth investor. Still making up for some errors, but I have learned a lot and feel great about where I am. You and a few others who share so freely, have all my thanks and gratitude for doing so.ReplyDelete
Great article as always. Quality dividend growth stocks and some patience will provide the foundation for financial success. i agree too many people these days want instant success with highly speculative stocks like Tesla. Why would you ever invest in a company that is not making a profit? or can't even explain exactly how they make there money. There are no short cuts to investing.ReplyDelete
Nice read - gotta love those dividends.ReplyDelete
Like you mentioned, it is quite often the case that a company with rising dividends is also seeing the value of its shares increase simultaneously. 3-4% yield, 6-8% annual dividend increases and capital gains to boot is a no brainer to dividend investors like us.
Your blog rules. Very good text. WMT.... God bless. 50 of Swedens best private investors follow you so keep up the good work/ReplyDelete

Basically this is a good article .ReplyDelete
However , I think that the dividend strem will NEVER compensate a fall of 30-40-50 % as you wrote . If you solaly rely on dividends , you will not survive long enough to show gains .
In short :I believe that one should combine income from dividends with capital gains , in order to always be on the positive side , and this can be done !Replies

I wish you were around when I started investing in the 70's. I became very turned off by stocks in the 73-74 bear market. I took until the 80's just to break even. So, I swore off holding stocks long term. In spite of that I did very well over the years by investing in Junk bond and stock mutual funds as a trader, which allowed me to retire at the ripe old age of 46. Over the last 5 years, now as an older retiree, I have started a DGI program in which I follow your recommendations and comments closely. I got a kick out of your comment some feel DGI is only for old folks. It should be just the opposite, DGI is for the young as they have time on their side. Us oldies are fast running out of time. The most important course I took in college was an industrial engineering course which had a section on compound interest. It opened up my eyes big time to its wealth building results. Thanks so much for sharing your DGI thoughts. Baldy 2000ReplyDelete

Thanks for this post, especially the reminder that dividend stocks have different life-cycles. I think I need to revisit my watch list, as I've recently filtered out stocks with the lowest yields, including V. Perhaps the filter should be less simplistic, such as looking at a combination of yield and CAGR. I'm aware of the Chowder Rule and I'm using that also, and perhaps that (or a variation of it) would suffice, instead of also filtering out stocks on yield as well.ReplyDelete
Good reaffirmation of our lifestyle DGI! Stocks + Dividends = You own the company and profit from it. Bonds = Just a loan of your capital that you have to keep reinvesting forever to gain some interest.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the article. I've been thinking about the growth argument a lot recently. One thing that I've been thinking about is that growth companies which don't pay a dividend to investors are handcuffing investors from making their own reinvestment decisions. I think that this is something that many don't think about. One of the biggest benefits to investing in a dividend stock is that the dividend is not committed to any one company. If I have another business in my portfolio that offers better value, then I can invest in that business instead. I'm not tied down to the operations of one company. My opinion is that this is something that companies need to be sensitive of. Ideally, they would be respectful of the fact that I can make investments in other un-related businesses and consider this when they are determining whether they should reinvest the money themselves or pay it out as a dividend.ReplyDelete

Whether they were right or wrong in anyone's opinion doesn't matter, the fact is that the fans were expressing a general sentiment that something has got to give in this organization. Call it frustration with futility, with the lockout, with the NFL, or whatever. They felt the need to be vocal.
And I wasn't going to even comment on it.
But, then I heard Tony Sparano say something, and the national media picked it up. Basically he said he didn't like hearing negative things, and it "sickened" him.
You know what that means? Those fans got under his skin. And if they got to him now after 7 days, just imagine what it will be like when things go south for this team. If they are sitting at say 4-4, and maybe not playing well, the chants will be worse. And the fans will know it bothers him, so they'll do it more.
Oh man, I actually find myself feeling for the guy because he just opened the door to more fan reactions....
And frankly, that's the kind of thing I expect to hear from a coach with a limited tenure.

Way back when you first begged your mom to buy you your first Lady Bic, did she warn you that your leg hair would only grown back thicker and coarser?
Mom was wrong.
Website Life's Little Mysteries reports that scientific studies have shown shaving doesn't change the color, growth rate or texture of hair.
"No significant differences in total weight of hair produced in a measured area, or in width or rate of growth of individual hairs, could be ascribed to shaving," researchers wrote in a study dating back to 1970, according to the site.
LLM does note, however, that stubble can seem thicker and darker than longer hair, but that's just an illusion. Maybe we'll go ahead and skip shaving for a while—just to test the science for ourselves, of course.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pretzel Freak The best pretzels EVER! I try to be health conscious. I generally eat healthy and get exercise; however, I do love a good dose of carbs and pretzels are my favorite work snack food. I stumbled into these Wege Poker Pretzels and went ape over them. I single handedly consumed the entire container over three days. YIKES! The crazy thing is that I can't wait to get my hands on more!!! If you love crunchy, flavorful, salty pretzels, you'll adore these. AND, read the ingredients list, you'll be surprised to find that there isn't a bunch of junk in them. (Okay, you might call salt junk but a pretzel wouldn't taste the same without it!) March 30, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ken B. Great flavor Most pretzels made from this area of PA are know for the flavor. Can't get enough... March 8, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Judy Best Pretzels! These are the best pretzels I've ever had. Unfortunately, the stores nearest me have not had them in stock for at least three months. November 30, 2008

A gift from the heart
So, making a donation in someone's name isn't always the best gift. What if they don't value the organization as much as you do. But Arts-Kids, a free after school art program for kids of all economic statuses and ethnicities, is a pretty safe bet.
As a symbol of your donation in your recipient's name, you'll get a gift donor card to stuff in his or her stocking. Cards have one of two hand-painted designs by Arts-Kids artist, author and illustrator Corinne Humphrey.
All donations are tax deductible. Contact Pat Sanger at 801-615-7878 or email@example.com for more info.
Now, on to events to check out around town with the kids this weekend.
The Living Planet's electric "Christmas" eel
Not to save power, but just because it's awesome, the Living Planet is keeping the lights on a five-foot Christmas tree lit with electricity from an eel.
The Christmas display is in the aquarium's Journey to South America gallery.
Voltage from the eels is channeled into stainless steel electrodes and used to power a sequencer, which takes the voltage and operates the circuitry in the lights. They can blink fast or slow based on how much the eel is producing.
Here's a video, but you really need to see this in person:

ZF-2303: Add one type more for getTranslationList.
I need to get stand-alone month list in wide mode.
Because in Russian language 'format' and 'stand-alone' names are different.
I think that solution could be like this:
case 'month_standalone' :
return Zend_Locale_Data::getContent($locale, 'monthlist', array('gregorian', 'stand-alone', 'wide'));
Just do this:
require_once 'Zend/Locale/Data.php';
$list = Zend_Locale_Data::getContent('ru_RU', 'monthlist', array('gregorian', 'standalone', 'wide'));
Zend_Locale returns only the standard formats which are used within ZF core. It would not be good to return all variants because the visibility of the API would be broken.
No one would have an overview with it (except me) when all 70 formats are integrated. And there are still several informations which are not included within Zend_Locale_Data because the new version provides additional ones.
There is also one big problem... not all languages support this informations. We integrated the informations which are covered by almost 90% of all languages. So for shortterm it's better to have this two lines written than importing new problems. Maybe we will do this when the new CLDR version is avaiable but then not only this one but also other additional informations.
But thank you for your interest and suggestion.
Added with SVN-7272. See additional data "month_complete" and use the needed data from the returned array

RFID surges ahead
The RFID chatter is getting louder. After conducting successful pilots of item-level RFID initiatives, Walmart, then American Apparel, and now Macy's, Bloomingdales, Dillards and JCPenney have all announced plans to roll out EPC (electronic product code)-enabled, RFID technology at the item level in their stores this year.
For the RFID industry, this turn of events has been electrifying. Not only are these retailers driving RFID adoption, but they're also propagating the benefits throughout each of their supply chains. This, in turn, creates opportunities for significant process and usage standardization across the industry with the mass adoption of the technology.
Many have already jumped on the bandwagon. An October 2011 study of 58 suppliers and 56 retailers across North America, conducted by Accenture on behalf of the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Solutions Association (VICS) and its Item-Level RFID Initiative (ILRI), reports that the technology is at a "tipping point" with more than 50% of retailers and suppliers already piloting or implementing item-level RFID.
Joe Andraski, president and CEO of VICS, has no doubt. "The technology has been around for a while, but it hasn't been used extensively because we haven't done a lot of extensive tagging—until now," says Andraski.
Michael Liard, RFID director for VDC Research, has been keeping a close eye on the technology for 12 years and sees the technology rapidly evolving and maturing. "We're seeing significant developments in terms of innovation, price points coming down, standards being ratified and passed, and use cases being solidified."
Many credit the groundwork laid by Walmart and the Department of Defense in 2004 where the focus was the EPC tagging of cases and pallets. True, it might not have reached the levels of success they expected, but it became the foundation that proponents have used to change the conversation and start tagging at the item level in what the industry overall is calling a "source-to-store" approach.
More item-level tagging
With multiple pilots completed and full roll-outs on tap, the expected benefits of item-level tagging have been well-documented. Inventory accuracy has improved to rates above 95%; the time required for workers to perform cycle counts in stores has decreased by up to 96%; and out-of-stock events have decreased by 50%.
According to Andraski, it's the reduction in out-of-stock events that has been the biggest differentiator. "When a shopper goes to retailer X and the product's not there, it's a lost sale and it's also a dissatisfied consumer." In an RFID-enabled supply chain, shoppers would rather go to Macy's or Bloomingdales where they know their favorite products are in stock.
This means more sales, which subsequently means more revenue to all trading partners within that chain. Andraski reports that research has shown increases in sales for stores with EPC tagging between 4% and 21% and averaging about 6%. "That's huge," he adds, "especially in this economy."
What does the adoption of item-level RFID tagging mean to the many warehouses and DCs that support these retailers and their suppliers? It means streamlining DC operations to fully leverage RFID's value. It's leveraging RFID's ability to capture information on multiple items simultaneously and remotely, without line of sight. It's checking an order without opening a carton. It's automatically identifying and counting groups of pallets, cases and items in one read where bar codes were previously used to manually scan them one at a time.
Though most of the tagging is limited to the supply chains of replenished apparel such as jeans, underwear and socks, plans are underway to add more product categories. It's especially straightforward in a closed-loop supply chain when the apparel manufacturer owns its supply chain from end to end.
"American Apparel is a perfect example," says VDC's Liard. "They manufacture their clothes; they distribute their clothes; they sell them in their own stores. That organization can use RFID at the point of manufacture, they can use it in the warehouses and DCs, and they use it in the retail store."
Other item-level tagging initiatives have started as a result of anti-counterfeiting and brand protection programs for other types of products. "They're using RFID at the item level in pharmaceuticals," notes Liard. "As it gets manufactured and goes through the supply chain, there's a chain of custody called its 'e-pedigree.'"

Benefits of RFID
In an October 2011 survey of 58 suppliers and 56 retailers across North America conducted by Accenture on behalf of the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Solutions Association (VICS) and its Item-Level RFID Initiative (ILRI), both retailers and suppliers ranked "improved inventory visibility" as their top realized benefit of having implemented item-level RFID tagging programs.
Here are some other expected benefits for suppliers and retailers within the four walls of RFID-enabled warehouses and DCs.
• An internal reduction of inventory levels as a result of greater inventory accuracy.
• An increase in speed and accuracy in materials handling operations by substantially reducing the number of touches per carton, resulting in a significant reduction in DC labor cost.
• An increased speed of cycle counts, decreasing the labor required while simultaneously increasing the accuracy of the count.
• A reduction or elimination of manual item-level audits of carton contents, thus minimizing the time and labor associated with the DC receiving process.
• The ability to audit each outbound pick-pack carton quickly to ensure a high degree of outbound accuracy and be able detect errors before they are found by the customer.
• A reduction in the number of claims or chargebacks by retail customers.
• The automatic ability to create an automated shipping notice (ASN) based on the products in the container and the time of departure of that
• The verification of an entire container manifest without needing to unpack the container.
• With consistent, highly accurate performance, it will allow a supplier to completely bypass the retailer's DC, and instead ship direct to stores, avoiding any need to crossdock that merchandise at the retailer's DC.
• A reduction in shrinkage due to customer and employee theft.
• Enable continuous quality improvement and result in fewer return-related costs and markdowns.
• By enabling tracking and tracing, RFID has the potential to reduce the cost of compliance with free trade agreements, governmental mandates and regulations while improving customs processes.

A philosophic statement about making HONMA Golf clubs:
Every HONMA product embodies principles placing quality first and foremost. HONMA's mission is to produce golf clubs that promote confidence and feel, which in turn will translate into more consistent play. HONMA clubs are always engraved an inscription identifying their origin on the club neck. HONMA clubs are designed so you will feel all the pleasure and excitement golf can inspire. HONMA will remain committed to meticulous, genuine craftsmanship of Japanese production.
HONMA has always insisted that the quality of their products should remain intact for a lifetime. At HONMA Golf Company, clubs are built on the premise that expensive products and materials do not in themselves guarantee performance. Rather, they take ordinary materials available anywhere, and through finely honed techniques, transform them into something extraordinary. Each product is an extension of HONMA Golf Company's philosophy and of the craftsmen who transform these materials into finished products.
Premier Golf Distributors, Inc. (Formerly Honma Golf Direct, Inc.) is a wholesale distributor for Honma Golf Co. Ltd. of Japan in North America. We are the Honma Distributor for Authorized retailers in the US & Canada except the states of California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington.
We do not sell directly to the public.
IMPORTANT Notice about Gray Market & Counterfeit Clubs
Due to the increasing number of counterfeit and gray market Honma equipment being sold on the web, we suggest consumers purchase from Honma Authorized Dealers.
Gray Market goods are genuine branded goods (called 'gray goods') sold outside of an authorized sales-territory (or by non-authorized dealers in an authorized territory) at prices lower than being charged in authorized sales territories (or by authorized dealers).
Counterfeit Market goods are illegal manufacturing and/or sale of goods by directly or indirectly giving the false impression that they are produced by a reputable manufacturer. Counterfeit goods usually replicate the legitimate good and its packaging, and bear a forged trademark.
Please note that Honma will not warrant gray market, counterfeit equipment or second hand equipment.

Fanatics. Are you reeaaaddddddyyyyy?! It's time.
Time to put your money where your mouth is. Time to have a little fun. Time to play a little Saved By the Bell mafia style.
This mafia will be SEC-style mafia. Fitzy and his crew are Big 12 style, creative offense with ****** defense. The old fart vets think they're always right and highly respected, so they are Big 10 style. Lets try and make this a strong mix of both and make this a very exciting, fun game. Not LSU-Alabama, but maybe Alabama-Georgia with 2 minutes left in the SEC championship game.
Players will be chosen using random.org.
You will want to read this part carefully. It's the one surprise that will come from this game, though it's not really a surprise. The 6th poster to PM me saying "head mafia" will become head of mafia. You can PM me multiple times, but if you are the 1st and 2nd PM I receive, it will only count as the first PM. Say you are the 1st, 3rd, and 6th PM I receive, it will count. I will not inform anyone if they are head of mafia or not until roles are sent out.
January 14th is the start date. Starting a little early to make sure I can get everyone who wants in, in.
Prefer a sign-up of exactly 30, but am willing to go up to 40.
Close thread Saturday, January 12th, sometime at night.
And...you may begin.

"In 10 years, productive project managers will be in high demand, especially if they can work across industries, cultures and languages," says workplace consultant Steve Langerud. "Ask yourself, Where have I been a project manager, and how can I do more of that?" Your expertise at guiding a team could translate to a similar role in another field. Another skill to work on: leadership. "At a certain point there's an assumption of talent, but not necessarily an assumption of leadership," says Amy Dorn Kopelan, president of Bedlam Productions. Volunteer for opportunities within your company and for community efforts that fit your interests; you'll gain experience, broaden your network and sharpen transferable skills.
Q: I've been hearing about "T-shaped skills." Can you explain?
Paul Saffo, technology forecaster and consulting professor at Stanford University: This is an idea you will hear often at Stanford. T-shaped people have one area of deep expertise and broad skills on top of that.
Q: Ok… So how do I get T-shaped?
PS: My advice is, seek "adjacent expertise." In other words, figure out what things will help you do your job better and will also be a lily pad to hop to if your current job evaporates.
Q: Do you mean become a generalist?
PS: No. Everybody loves hanging around with generalists, but nobody really wants to pay them. That said, general skills are absolutely essential, because in any current job, everybody is going to multifunction. You need to be able to work outside your formal area of expertise.
Q: What kinds of extra skills do I need?
PS: Don't confuse T-shaped with acquiring a bunch of vertical skills. We're not talking about English majors who become software engineers. That's trading one insecure career for another. The skills have to be more closely related, or complementary, and have to offer a higher level of abstraction. For instance, if you have an engineering degree, get a management degree in addition—that could end up serving you well.
Q: How do I figure out what those "complementary" skills might be?
PS: In the short term, look at the skills that are taken for granted in college freshmen. The kids now coming in all know HTML. It's like typing used to be for people in their fifties. I teach in an engineering school, and the students all ask if they can do a Web page instead of a paper.
Q: Now I'm scared.
PS: Nobody's job is safe. Everybody is going to have a succession of professions, and the jobs today will go away. The pure specialist will end up going the way of the buggy-whip maker.
In 2011, Harvard Business School gave its entering MBA students $3,000 each in seed money to start a company. It's not a bad idea to try the same thing yourself. That's because the decisions you have to make to open a business are the same no matter how big that business is—and starting one on a small scale is a great way to practice before your livelihood depends on it.
If you've never considered entrepreneurship, you may still find that it has a place in your career, especially in your later years, when getting hired is more difficult. "Not everybody is cut out for this," says Tracey Wilen-Daugenti, vice president of the Apollo Research Institute. "But because of the Internet, it's easier now to be an entrepreneur than it was in the past." In fact, women are starting about 550 businesses a day, according to the most recent State of Women-Owned Businesses Report. "In your forties or fifties, it used to be that you were planning retirement," Wilen-Daugenti says. "Today you need to plan your encore career. Entrepreneurship is just another option."
Q: You say women need sponsors?
Christine Silva, senior director of research at Catalyst: Yes. A sponsor is someone in your organization who is senior enough to advocate on your behalf, who sits at the table of decision makers and can speak up for you when it comes to promotions or chances at high-visibility development opportunities.
Q: Isn't that what a mentor does?
CS: Mentors provide career advice and guidance. They may act as role models. But they aren't necessarily senior enough to be a sponsor, and they may not be able to advocate for you.
Q: How did you arrive at this distinction between mentors and sponsors?
CS: We have been following the careers of MBA graduates from business schools around the world, and we have found that women lag behind men with respect to level and pay from their first job. But we have also found that women have more mentors than men do. It turns out it isn't having a mentor that predicts advancement and compensation growth; it's how senior that mentor is. When someone will put her reputation on the line and say, "I know she's ready for the next step"—that seems to be the game changer.
Q: How do I get a sponsor?
CS: By networking with influential people in your company and making sure they know what you've accomplished and what your aspirations are. They have to know what you'd like them to sponsor you for.
Q: What mistakes do women make?
CS: They think that if they put their heads down and work hard, they'll be noticed and get ahead. But you must also self-promote. Doing a good job doesn't seem to be enough if people don't know about it.
Increasingly, companies are looking for people who have worked abroad or managed an international team. The reason: Companies are doing more work overseas today than they were five years ago. "Even companies headquartered here have offshored some piece of their business," says Elene Cafasso, president of Enerpace Inc., an executive coaching company. However, you may be able to stay put as long as you're comfortable working virtually with team members in other time zones or are willing to travel frequently.
It's not enough to have heard the name of new digital tools; you must try them. "If they're talking about it in the mainstream media, you should know about it," says Sabina Ptacin, cofounder of 'Preneur, a community and resource for small-business owners and entrepreneurs. "If you're sitting in a meeting or an interview and someone mentions a new digital tool, you don't want to present a blank face."
Browse the technology news and figure out which tools are popping up over and over (no need to chase every technological flash in the pan; that's just exhausting). Some good sources: Mashable.com, TechCrunch.com, the daily newsletter at Netted.net and the New York Times technology section. For tech and social media scoops, you should consider following the Twitter feeds from those sites, as well as @lifehacker, @tedrubin and @preneuring.
If you're uncomfortable downloading tools on your own, take advantage of tutorials at your company when they're available. If you have access to an Apple or Microsoft store, sit in on workshops. (Find Apple classes at apple.com/retail/learn; locate Microsoft in-store tutorials at content.microsoftstore.com and online classes at microsoft.com/learning.)
To learn how to do something specific, consult Google; a YouTube video tutorial with lots of viewer hits is probably a good place to start. If you need to get up to speed on a few things fairly quickly, consider registering with Lynda.com, a library of online software-training videos; monthly memberships begin at $25. "Too many women, especially those over 45, think that if they know how to use PowerPoint or Excel, they're OK," says human resources director Pam Jackson. "No! You need to be able to harness technology to work for you."
Today that means being comfortable with Dropbox, Google Docs, Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest, at the least. Be sure to update your software annually and keep an eye on your applications. "If people can't open your files, you may be behind," says Wilen-Daugenti.
1. Think about what job you'll want in 10 years.
2. Check job boards for those positions. What are the requirements? Do you meet them?
3. Get together with people who have the title you'd like. Ask them, "What skills do I need in order to become you?"
4. Note whether there is a set of skills or a degree that you don't have. If there is, you may want to enroll in school.
5. Figure out if you can return to school part time while working.
6. Consider an online degree. But choose your school carefully. Employers are more likely to respect a degree from a school that also has a brick-and-mortar presence or one from a hybrid program in which you attend the occasional in-person class.
"When my executives find themselves in career transition, the number-one regret is always, 'Why didn't I stay in touch with more people?'" says Cafasso. "We all need to think of our LinkedIn connections and professional network as possible customers, referral sources and valuable assets." Facebook, she says, is also a venue for networking, but not necessarily the most effective one. Here's how to stay in touch with your professional contacts:
Divide your LinkedIn connections into three groups, perhaps A, B and C.
Then decide on a level of correspondence for each. For instance, maybe the A's get a quarterly e-mail with a note, link or article. The C's may receive only a holiday greeting. "Staying in touch doesn't have to be involved or complicated," Cafasso says. "Even if you called one person per week, you'd have a fresher connection should you need it."
Here's who should be in each group:
A's: People who are influential in your industry or in a field that interests you. There will also be former colleagues who've moved to other companies or whom you left behind when you moved. If you got a pink slip tomorrow, could you see yourself dropping them an e-mail? If so, they belong on this list.
B's: Coworkers you see regularly and not-so-close friends with whom you stay in touch.
C's: "People you meet and they want to link to you, and you don't want to be rude, so you say yes, but you wouldn't lose sleep if you never saw them again," Cafasso says. Keep in mind: You don't have to develop lifelong friendships. Research has shown that weak ties can be richer sources of job help than close friends.
"When we went through the recession, female leaders retained their jobs when their male counterparts didn't. We wanted to know why," says Sharon Hulce, president and CEO of the Employment Resource Group in Appleton, Wisconsin. "It was often because the women were amazing mentors. They were looked at as that person who could give phenomenal advice." Mentoring pays off. Not everyone comes to the role naturally, but there will always be opportunities to help people with their problems. And those relationships can influence your own marketability. "Someone will either get promoted or be pulled to a new organization," Hulce says. "The relationships you have will play a critical role in your success throughout your career." Plus, in 10 years, people who are young now will be hiring managers. "Leadership teams are skewing younger," says Ptacin. "The senior person in your division may be 28." Get comfortable working with and for young people now.
People used to resist moving sideways within an organization because they wanted the seniority that came with staying put. But seniority no longer guarantees that you won't be laid off. In some cases, it may be better to forfeit your tenure and make a lateral move that gives you experience in new areas. "By changing jobs, you'll expand your knowledge, close skill gaps, widen your network and gain experience in high-demand areas," Wilen-Daugenti says. "That could lead to future job opportunities inside and outside your organization."
There are a number of ways to make a lateral move. It may mean leaving your company. It may also mean volunteering for an opportunity within your firm to move to another division for a few years. You may be able to set it up as a department loan, in which you work for another group for six months to develop skills and experience, or even a person-to-person exchange, in which two employees exchange positions.

Should I go?
Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese pro-democracy leader, gave her blessing to the return of tourism to Burma in November 2010. National League for Democracy (NLD) leader U Win Tin said: "We want people to come to Burma, not to help the junta, but to help the people by understanding the situation: political, economic, moral – everything." This marked the end of the tourism boycott started in 1995 and the return of small groups and individuals to Burma has been endorsed by Burma Campaign UK and the Free Burma campaign. Explore are delighted to return to Burma after pulling out in 1995 in response to the call for boycott. We use a privately-owned Burmese agent for all of our services, and whilst each itinerary has been carefully planned to try and avoid using any service owned by or affiliated with the government or former military junta, we accept that some money will make its way into their hands. We strongly believe that by operating tours in Burma we contribute to the local economy in a positive way, whilst providing our customers with an insight into the culture, through direct interaction with Burmese people.

Over the weekend we commemorated the passing of a longtime member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Barry O'Brien was not a performer, producer or record executive. He was a Fan. I attended his memorial on Saturday at the Beachland Ballroom with hundreds of family and friends. We were honored that his widow Janis and daughter Kirin invited the Hall of Fame to participate in this celebration of Barry's life. There are so many things in this world that divide us but music has this incredible power to unite us and to build up a strong sense of community.
Barry loved rock and roll music and was a strong supporter of our nonprofit mission. He was part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Family—he was a longtime member of the Roll Hall and helped us to celebrate the opening of the Museum some 15 years ago. Just a few weeks ago he called us to reserve tickets to our upcoming Janis Joplin Tribute Event at Playhouse Square.
Passion for music connects many of us and we are honored to have been a part of Barry's life and thrilled that he was part of our community. We are deeply grateful that the family has entrusted the Rock Hall with being one of the places for Barry's memorial gifts. These gifts will help us continue to deliver quality educational programs to school children around the country giving them the opportunity to learn through the power of music.
Those of us that are lucky enough to work at the Museum are simply the current stewards of this important treasure. We keep the flame but it really belongs to those with a passion and love for rock and roll like Barry.

Obituary: Photographer Bert Stern, Creator of Marilyn Monroe's "Last Sitting," 83
Bert Stern, the celebrity and fashion photographer best known for the 1962 photo shoot with Marilyn Monroe known as "The Last Sitting," died at home in New York City on June 25, The New York Times reports. He was 83.
Born in New York City in 1929, Stern went to work in 1946 at Look magazine as an assistant to art director Hershel Bramson. While at Look, he became friends with Stanley Kubrick, who was then a photographer at the magazine. From 1949 to 1951, Stern was the art director at Mayfair magazine, then he went to work at the ad agency LC Gumbiner. In an interview with T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Stern explained that it was during his work art directing ad campaigns that he first began shooting his own photos. He opened his own studio in 1954.
His friend Kubrick hired him to take stills for his movie, Lolita, released in 1962. That same year, Stern spent three days on assignment for Vogue photographing actress Marilyn Monroe in a suite he rented at the Bel Air Hotel. During the sessions, Monroe wears little more than a scarf, a necklace and some bed sheets, burrowing in bed sheets. In an interview earlier this year, Stern recalled, "'She picked up this scarf, looked through it, and it was transparent, she could see me. She understood right away, and said: 'You want to do nudes.' And I said, 'Well that's a good idea.'" Monroe died a few weeks after the session. Several of the images were published in Eros magazine.
In 1982, Stern published his photos, outtakes and contact sheets from the session as a book, Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting (published by Schirmer/Mosel).
His editorial and commercial clients included Vogue, Life, Glamour, IBM, Noxema and Revlon. His subjects included Elizabeth Taylor, Gary Cooper, Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Iman and Drew Barrymore.
Stern was the subject of a documentary released this spring, Bert Stern: The Original Mad Man, in which he candidly discussed how his affairs with women he photographed contributed to the break up of his marriage to the ballerina Allegra Kent. The documentary was directed by Shannah Laumeister, who first posed for Stern when she was 13.
Stern's photographs have been exhibited at Staley-Wise Gallery in New York and many galleries worldwide. Stern also co-directed the documentary Jazz on a Summer's Day, about the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. In 2006, the Art Directors Club inducted Stern into its Hall of Fame.

Results tagged ' Kevin Costner '
Vacation Reflection: Part One
Just recently, I (and my two brothers) took a baseball-themed vacation, the first part of which took us to Dyersville, Iowa and the Field of Dreams movie site. Here are some more pics of the experience:
It was an amazing stop no matter how you look at it. As a movie buff (with Field of Dreams topping my baseball movie list), rare is the movie set still intact for such a long period of time. I mean, this was the exact same field that Kevin Costner stirred our emotions on and Ray Liotta channeled Shoeless Joe Jackson.
As a baseball lifer, the experience was exactly as James Earl Jones described it…
You pull up on a long dirt road surrounded by cornfields as far as the eye can see. Then, out of nowhere, is this quaint little diamond with cornstalks framing the outfield. I hit some balls, played catch in the infield, threw a few from the mound, and wandered around in the corn. Not a bad afternoon for a baseball romanticist. The entire time I was there, cars continued to pull in and out, with license plates from Texas, New York, and other faraway stops from the cornfields of Iowa.
As the mysterious whispering voice says…
