NEW YORK — Domestic textile trade show organizers planning exhibitions for the first half of 2009 are facing an uphill battle.
This story first appeared in the December 3, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Consumer spending has plummeted as economic conditions have worsened across the globe. With holiday sales expected to be particularly dour, brands and retailers have sought to drastically cut orders, reduce inventory and tighten budgets. Textiles, which account for the lion's share of an apparel item's cost, are naturally coming under scrutiny. The situation will make for a difficult environment for mills planning to show their wares at fairs throughout the first half of the year, as buyers deal with having little leeway on pricing. The harsh economic realities have most show organizers anticipating declines in both the number of exhibitors and attendees.
"When you are in good times, marketing is easy. When you are in bad times, marketing is difficult — but that is when you have to do it more than ever," said Stephanie Everett, group show director of textile shows for Messe Frankfurt, which organizes Texworld USA. "Now's the time, more than ever, to build relationships with these key buyers."
Everett said she believes Texworld USA's emphasis on lower-cost suppliers from around the world should provide buyers with a number of resources able to work within their diminished budgets.
"We bring value from around the world, not just Asia," said Everett. "We do have mills with quality fabrics at better price points, so [for] buyers looking for [that], we're in a better position right now."
Texworld USA does run the risk of losing some attendees and exhibitors due to its scheduling. The show typically runs concurrently with Première Vision Preview and Prefab: The Supima Premium Fabric Show in January. However, due to scheduling issues with the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, this year's show will take place a little more than two weeks later, from Feb. 3 to 5. Alexandra d'Archangelo, marketing manager of textile shows for Messe Frankfurt, doesn't expect to see a substantial decline in visitors despite this. D'Archangelo noted that approximately 90 percent of visitors come from the tristate area, and exhibitors are being reminded that the U.S. remains a leading economy despite its problems.
"We are expressing to our exhibitors that the U.S. is still ranked as the world's most competitive economy," said d'Archangelo.
Prefab will return to a two-day format for its show at Gotham Hall Jan. 13 to 14. Buxton Midyette, marketing director for Supima, which organizes Prefab, acknowledged that the pima cotton industry hasn't escaped the pangs of the financial downturn.
"We're trying to push innovation as the real answer to the challenge that the industry faces today," said Midyette. "Playing it safe is probably the riskiest thing that retailers and brands can do," he said.
Supima will highlight innovation by hosting its second design competition. An open call for designers took place for two days in mid-November. Designers were asked to bring sketches for their eveningwear entry, a design portfolio, a résumé and a garment they have designed and sewn. The selected designers will be given 10 yards of pima fabric to create a women's eveningwear design that will be shown at a runway event Jan. 14.
The pima industry in the U.S. has also been hit by low prices and competition from higher-profit crops.
"There's a lot of competition still for the acreage upon which pima is grown from other crops," said Midyette. "So we were hoping to get some price increase to better compete for land. It doesn't look like that has happened." The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates domestic pima cotton production will fall more than 46 percent this year to 459,000 480-pound bales compared with 851,800 bales last year.
Philippe Pasquet, chief executive officer of Première Vision, said the company has committed itself to maintaining its level of investment in its show in order to maintain the quality and services offered to buyers. Première Vision Preview will take place Jan. 14 to 15 at the Metropolitan Pavilion.
"We maintain our level of quality because things are getting tougher," Pasquet said. "It's getting tougher for the trade fairs, but we think that we have to keep up with the policies that made us a leading show."
Pasquet said he expects to see a slight decrease in attendance at the show, but isn't "anxious" about it. Pasquet said he takes solace in the belief that the show has established itself as the leading U.S. textile show for high-quality trendsetting fabrics. "I think PV in New York is a milestone in the season for American professionals," he said.
The textile market will be heating up on the West Coast in 2009 with the launch of GlobalTex. Produced by Dallas-based Market Center Management Co., GlobalTex will kick off April 28 to 30 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. David Pennes, vice president of new business development, said the goal is to create a state-of-the-art fair capable of addressing a range of needs and services.
"It's going to be the only international show held in Los Angeles that addresses every single aspect of the supply chain of the apparel and fashion industry," said Pennes.
The show will be divided into 10 categories, including West Coast denim lifestyle, contemporary fabrics, technical fabrics for outerwear and athletic apparel and sourcing resources.
Pennes is counting on buyers needing to restock their shelves by the time the show rolls around.
"After moving through holiday and into the first of the year, there's going to be a tremendous amount of buying power because inventories will be low," he said.
The show also hopes to capitalize on L.A.'s large apparel and manufacturing base. According to MCM, the city produces approximately $36 billion in textile and apparel manufacturing, representing 15 percent of the city's workforce.
GlobalTex will take place two weeks after the Los Angeles International Textile show, which will run April 14 to 16 at the California Market Center. Material World Miami will take place April 21 to 23 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Kingpins, the premium denim trade show, will host two shows during the first half of the year. The East Coast edition will take place in New York April 13 to 14, while a West Coast edition will take place in Los Angeles March 4 to 5.

Victoria, 'The Racist State'?
Wendy Tuohy
–, Thursday, May, 02, 2013, (9:03am)
Five racist incidents experienced in 24 hours by a group of visiting Aboriginal actors in Melbourne this week further illustrates this city's disturbing problem with racism.
After a rehearsal at the Malthouse theatre in South Melbourne on Monday, a staffer called four cabs in a row for the group, who are rehearsing a version of Shakespeare's King Lear. One after the other the cabs arrived, saw the passengers, refused to take them and drove off.
A cab she hailed down on the street at about 6.30pm by the white liason stopped to collect her but also drove off when he saw the passengers were indigenous.
Mortified by the distressing experience, the staffer bought the actors Myki cards. The next day they were racially abused on a tram by a man who told them "you don't exist in this country, you should go", and "you don't even have tickets".
The man then went to the driver and asked him to call police because the indigenous passengers didn't have tickets. The driver "didn't do anything", according to Alberts.
When our city was shamed by a racist cab driver who took one look at multi-award winning indigenous singer, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, and refused to take him in St Kilda last year, many distressed Melburnians hit talkback saying "this isn't who we are, please don't judge us on this one racist driver".
The blind singer, who has performed for the Queen, had had a cab hailed for him by his white managers, Michael Hohnen and Michael Grose, after his Palais gig with Missy Higgings.
According to Hohnen the driver said he was happy to wait a minute but when he saw his passenger emerge he said "Nah mate", and drove off.
This latest incident, related by a shaky-voiced Jada Alberts (an actress and writer in town for the show), comes only a few weeks after an African-born Melburnian was viciously abused by a woman on a Craigieburn train, shoved and called "a black c---".
"This is what us original Aussies fought for, to keep you black ----- out," she taunted him.
On April 19 another outburst of racial ugliness was captured by commuters on a Clayton train when a woman ranted at a Pilipino woman who had asked her to move her bag so the seat next to her could be used.
In fact, you may recall our racism went viral late last year when a man, egged on by several others, screeched violent threats at a French woman on a city-bound bus from Frankston.
Also in April, our "comfortable racism" was broadcast across the US by one of its most popular talk-show personalities, the UK born Daily Show reporter John Oliver.
"Australia turns out to be a sensational place, albeit one of the most comfortably racist places I've ever been in," Oliver said in his hugely popular Bugle podcast, after touring several cities and towns.
"They've really settled into their intolerance like an old resentful slipper." At the time I thought we'd been smeared in yet another easy caricature by a visiting, if amusing, smart a--e.
But if racism is so accepted now that not one but four cabbies feel perfectly comfortable with rejecting three dark-skinned passengers in the middle of the city in the early evening, sadly, it looks as though he's right.
Have Your Say
Quite seriously, there has got to be a play somewhere in all this. It would be better told as a comedy, full of sound and fury but signifying something - perhaps something with the bite and wit of a play by Mollier - humor and loving satire is still the best way to reach people.
Thu 02 May 13 (11:53am)
Good idea, but it'd have to be a bleak comedy, so hard to find much to laugh about here on face value
Wendy Tuohy
Thu 02 May 13 (11:55am)
One only has to read. . .some of the racist comments on (the Andrew Bolt) blog from all around Australia to realize that this problem is not just in Victoria but throughout the whole country.
Thu 02 May 13 (12:06pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (04:57pm)
What utter rubbish! Were the taxi drivers all white Aussie males, or dark-skinned Indians, or some other nationality? If the latter, doesn't it say more about the types of cultures we are importing into Australia? And how can you know they are racists? Perhaps they decided (against taxi directorate rules) that they weren't interested in taking passengers on the short trip from South Melbourne to St Kilda, and instead look for a longer fare. Yet another attempt by bleeding heart leftists to paint all Australians as racist.
I'll tell you who is racist - the tweeting twits who fawn over indigenous guests on Q&A;, making those pathetic comments about how brave they are, and how disgusting this country is for not treating them like babies and spoon-feeding them everything.
Thu 02 May 13 (06:33pm)
Tubbs, that is the most racist reply to an article on racism I've ever seen.
They were blatantly racist, and you spin it to be an argument about what kind of culture we are importing into this country? Wow.
Then you go on to insinuate that all indigenous people want to be spoon fed.
Don't worry, the "lefties" don't need to paint you "righties" as racists. You do plenty of that yourself, as above. Sadly you tarnish the reputation of all us Australians with no deep seated bigotry.
Thu 02 May 13 (07:29pm)
Way off target, Juice. Firstly, where is the proof that these four taxi drivers were racist at all? Secondly, what race were they themselves? Let's not kid ourselves here - this is the left beating up on white Australia, implying that the drivers must have been whites who hate dark skinned people. If it turns out they were not white Australians, then all of the lefts efforts to paint all white Australia as racists will have been in vain.
Your comprehension skills need working on, as the last part of my comment was about those useless Q&A;twitterers viewing the indigenous community as being so disadvantaged and incapable of self-determination, that they need everyone else to do stuff for them.
Fri 03 May 13 (08:34am)
And yet it was us righties who got rid of your lefties White Australia Policy.
I think a taxi driver should be able to pick up who he or she wants, just like they can choose who to invite into their house or not. Perhaps one can explore WHY cabbies don't seem to want to pick up groups of aboriginals, if there have been any incidents in the past that may make them act that way? Or is the limitation of ones thinking no more than one word, Racism! Screaming with expression of a child wetting itself in public.
Fri 03 May 13 (11:33pm)
You or your forefathers got imported into Australia without any preconditions. The immigrants now have to show some skills to come in, unlike in your case where a conviction was enough. W
It is racist! Pretty soon a white, Christian, heterosexual, employed taxpayer will not be safe on our streets.
I think I'll move to China where they only call us "white devils" and tell us that we "stink" of sheep - and that's to our face! And don't even get me started on how India and the Middle East treat the above.
Thu 02 May 13 (12:09pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (01:15pm)
What have China, India and the Middle east got to do with our racism problem? For a group of aboriginal people to face this discrimination multiple times in 24 hours is distressing.
Acknowledge it for what it is, instead of pointing to other countries with the attitude of "they do it too, so it's ok"
Thu 02 May 13 (01:34pm)
Pisces is the case in point. That statement alone is representative of conversations I hear every day. It's that "we might be a little racist… BUT THESE OTHER PLACES ARE SO MUCH WORSE!!" sentiment. I think we have some hard questions to ask ourselves becuase I hear this crap quite openly on trams or trains to and from the CBD far too regularly!
Thu 02 May 13 (01:50pm)
Mate, I reckon you really DO stink of sheep!
Thu 02 May 13 (02:38pm)
I don't know Ms Tuohy - another progressive elitist leftist pile of moral pretentiousness.
I mean really don't we have more important things to worry about such as the catastrophic level of violence and sexual assualt that occurs in so many Aboriginal communities. Problems encouraged by the intelligentsia and other moral poseurs who created our insane welfarist system and complete opposition to personal accountability.
I have been a cab driver and let me tell you you take a risk picking up Aboriginal customers. Many are drunk and often will not pay.
So Ms Touhy why don't you show some empathy and speak to some cabbies to get a better reference point on why they behave the way they do. You might just learn something!
But I guess when you are an inner city trendy full of vacuous moral platitudes the whole world must seem like a nasty dirty place.
REPLY from Wendy: Not the whole world Paul, I see beauty all around me. But some of the attitudes, yes, they qualify as nasty.
Fri 03 May 13 (08:38am)
@Paul - you mean there are some aboriginals out there who walk around with a chip on their shoulder, a 100% entitlement mentality and some even consume too much alcohol? Incredible! I've never seen that myself like every time I'm in Darwin or Townsville or the Alice with work.
It's clearly racism when a can driver doesn't want to pick up a gang of people who won't pay and are aggressive about it.
Answer me this Wendy, I have been called a Pommie Ba***rd on a number if occasions. Is that racist? coz I never see any articles condemning this. It only seems to be racism if it involves dark skinned people or Muslims!
Thu 02 May 13 (12:15pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (05:30pm)
Then why am I not offended??? Perhaps because there are much bigger things to be concerned about then a bit of name calling.
I think that fits the definition of racist, and also the definition of dumb!
Wendy Tuohy
Thu 02 May 13 (12:17pm)
Quite possible cabbies are not originally Australian, therefore knowledge of bad experiences motivated drive-off, not racism itself. Taxis often won't pick up white people for the same reason. Australia is a sensational country - not because of what it offers - but reporters are becoming increasingly sensational in their articles, lacking substance to the story.
Thu 02 May 13 (12:17pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (12:50pm)
Dorothy, I also see nothing mentioned about the cabbies - leaving people to perhaps wrongly assume they're white - but we don't know for sure! If we're going to have a truly open and honest discussion about this then we have to know all the facts - not only about the victim, but also about the perpetrators.
There is an urban myth that it's only white Anglo-Saxon Australians that are racist - however, I think we've imported a fair bit of racism from other countries in the past 20 or 30 years.
Thu 02 May 13 (02:33pm)
Actually they were white cab drivers, I know Indian cab drivers who have been told by white cab drivers not to pick up Indigenous Australians, but they do not listen, so your assumptions are wrong, try again.
Thu 02 May 13 (04:06pm)
"I know Indian cab drivers who have been told by white cab drivers not to pick up Indigenous Australians" is that story meant to convince us that an Indian would never do such a thing. It seems to matter to you the race of the person being racist when the issue is the racism itself.You are guilty of what you are accusing others of.
Fri 03 May 13 (08:43am)
In Sydney, cabs won't enter The Block in Redfern to pick up fares. Racist or realistic?
I am very sorry but not surprised to read about this taxi experience. Taxis constantly refuse passengers. I am white and often have to use cabs and the same thing happens. You approach, open the door and they say they have just got a job and drive off. The attitude is long-standing and the government has done nothing to stop fare refusal.
Melbourne taxi drivers are almost exclusively from the sub-continent. One abused a dark-skinned person I was travelling with, using severe racist abuse. It was horrific. Some are very nice and they are done an injustice by the bad apples. Also, many, many passengers are rude and dangerous - that is what all taxi drivers say so they have their viewpoint, too.
But there is a problem.
The Human Rights Commsision should be educating migrants entering Australia on anti-racism. It won't as it is part of the problem, pretending racism doesn't exist other than in ways advantageous to its narrow and self-serving agenda.
Thu 02 May 13 (12:28pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (06:06pm)
Spot on. This is exactly the issue here. The taxi industry in Melbourne is a disgrace! They weren't knocked back because of the colour of their skin. They were knocked back due to the short fare. I am white and it happens to me all the time.
The tip is to say you're going to the airport, then get them to stop where you want to go. The driver won't be happy, but why should they care.
The tram incident is unfortunate and not a reflection of Melbourne. I travel on trams and trains every day and have never seen anything like this occur. I have only read it in the newspapers, and it is ususally some red-neck from the outer suburbs causing the problem.
Fri 03 May 13 (11:38pm)
@BR, you are funny.I think human rights commission would have tough job educating the citizens before they can move to migrants.
There are very few of us who have a reason to be racist at all. Before you or anyone says nobody should be racist I do make allowances for those that are still alive that suffered attrocities during war times as nobody should tell them what they should think of those that took them prisoners. (have have relatives in this situation)
For the greater, wider public there is no reason to believe in the sterotyping that leads to racist issues. While there are uneducated, racist elements to our nation I like to think the greater majority do not fall into this catagory. Nieve to think it doesnt happen against all walks of life, but we live in hope that we become better people and more open minded.
Thu 02 May 13 (12:33pm)
Racism is insidious and evil because it's easy. It's easy to have prejudices against people who dress, pray, act look or speak differently to you. Racism allows you to write off entire groups of people without needing to deal with them on an individual basis. Bigotry doesn't require brainpower. Having the courage to judge people ''not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character'' is a much harder ask. And when Martin Luther King spoke those words, he wasn't speaking just to Americans, he was speaking to the world.
The challenge for us is to live that dream, to find the courage to not allow the actions of a few to determine our image of the many. It requires courage, tenacity and tenderness to do that. I am confident the majority of my countrymen have those qualities.
Thu 02 May 13 (12:34pm)
Fri 03 May 13 (12:15am)
There are, and they are diamonds, and as rare as.
Fri 03 May 13 (08:46am)
Actually cultural relativism requires no brainpower. To assert all races are identical and all cultures are of equal value is as lazy as it is proven wrong by history.
Fri 03 May 13 (11:41pm)
Yes I agree with you. When you were in caves centuries ago, the asians had advanced civilizations in their countries
Sat 04 May 13 (08:45pm)
@Asian - bummer what happened when we came out dude.
What I'm really sick of is media writers with little to do trotting out the old racist line now and then in a country that has on balance been a model of multicultural tolerance.Take a little walk around Melbourne today Wendy if you've not done it for decades. Then ask really smart questions like" Is Victoria Racist" Every place on the planet has little groups of people who dont match community ( or your ) standards. This is still a great place. History defines some attitudes to aboriginal people here and there are two sides to even their story. Based on their own experiences late at night, why not ask why some ( maybe just a few ) taxi drivers behave like this.
Thu 02 May 13 (12:42pm)
as of 2012, there was 5.6 million people living in victoria. so from your logic the few determine the sensibilities of the many. shame on you.
there is racism everywhere and i am offended that you class me as 1 of them. i have friends from nearly all nationalities and consider them the same as me.. a human being.
i notice in all these tales of racism that you don't mention the background of the offending parties. because of that omission you make it seem it is us Caucasians doing it.
is it because you don't want to appear racist when naming the party if they are not Caucasian. hypocrisy at it's finest
Thu 02 May 13 (01:00pm)
Hello David, no racial profile of any of the drivers has been made available. All we know is they are employed as cab drivers by authentic cab companies in Melbourne, Cheers, Wendy
Wendy Tuohy
Thu 02 May 13 (01:06pm)
Let's be honest: nearly all the taxi drivers in Melbourne are dark-skinned immigrants. I know it may be a shock to Wendy but 'racism' isn't limited to white Australians. In fact, white people are more often than not the victims of overt racism from non-white immigrant groups.
Yes, Australia has a race problem but it's not the fault of European-descended Australians.
Thu 02 May 13 (01:08pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (02:41pm)
Even though this report clearly states "white" people who were the perpetrators, stop blaming others and start to take responsibility for a change
Thu 02 May 13 (05:04pm)
Where was the reference to 'white' perpetrators in each case, Marko?
And what does Ralph have to take responsibility for? The behavior of people he has most probably never met? Sounds to me like you are one little totalitarian, barking orders at those you disagree with. Your little comment down below about most racists being white says a lot about you, little man.
People need to build a bridge and get over it and accept that we are a racist society......if we aren't racist then why is there so much discrimination in our community. Every week there are reports of racism , what about the humdreds that are not reported. .Try applying for a job if your black or Muslim, I have seen other ethnic groups being racist towards blacks amd Muslims .
Thu 02 May 13 (01:11pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (09:26pm)
Right! Racist people like you should leave this country. Remember the so called 'Original Australian' are convicts no body wanted. Your homeland back in England did not want you… People of this land do not want you.
Go away.
Fri 03 May 13 (11:35pm)
The original inhabitants are those who got racially abused. So you can go along with Nick to your homeland.
Why give oxygen to these people?
I suspect that it's a grab for 'ratings' and a tacky one at that.
Thu 02 May 13 (01:14pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (02:08pm)
it is opportunism to publish issues under racism when as you said Wendy full details not made available. Keep feeding people the idea, they will believe it. I expect this is what acting is all about.
Thu 02 May 13 (04:50pm)
Good news is this will blow over in another 12 hours.
There's a video interview with these actors now circulating, and not hard to find. Why not check it out and then decide if they are telling their story as a 'grab' for anything at all.
Wendy Tuohy
Thu 02 May 13 (01:17pm)
Shamefull. I bet though the cab drivers were not white Aussies.
Thu 02 May 13 (01:18pm)
.I wonder what they were saying on the public transport when the man for no reason suddenly started racially abusing them. Maybe they were speaking out aloud about the 4 taxi rejections and calling the drivers racists. I also wonder if the 4 taxi drivers were actually born in this country, as many taxi drivers appear to be of an ethnic origin. Perhaps they should vent their vitriol correctly after establishing all the facts. instead of labelling all Victorians and Australians Racists. These people should travel to other countries and then see just how racial other countries can be. I think overall these over sensitive and delicate indigenous Australians will find this Australia is not such a bad place after all.
Thu 02 May 13 (01:21pm)
Thu 02 May 13 (01:52pm)
I'm Aboriginal and had these things happen to me. I remember a few years ago I was sitting on a train at Adelaide station waiting for it to leave reading a newspaper.
2 cops come onto the train walk right up to me (no one else) and ask for my ticket and ID. I show it to them and they leave the train.
Perhaps I too was reading the newspaper too loudly as well?
I've had taxis refuse me countless times and other people generally make comments.
Australians of all shapes and colours are racist. It doesn't matter what ethnicity these taxi drivers were. Their reaction was clearly unprofessional.
Thu 02 May 13 (05:59pm)
Yeah Mick I've had a number of Aborigionals accuse me of being a white ba%$ard and
I should bugger off because "I stole their land"!
Not only that Mick I can drag you around some areas of Port Augusta, SA inhabited by our indigenous brethren where a white person would be guaranteed of a severe beating. But I guess to the leftist, ABC spoutin chattering class that doesn't qualify as racism because you know, only whitey males are capable of racist attitudes.
Like an argument I had with a stupid precocious arts educated gay loving feminist twerp in my long ago youth who beleived it was OK for the minority to oppress the majority but never the reverse.
God when are we going to crush this perverted morally relativistic sickness once and for all!
I tell you Ms Tuohy I've seen cases of Aboriginals adults abusing children that would make your face turn inside out.
But the dirty Left will never ever tackle that issue seeing it is they that are solely responsible for the present miserable state of affairs starting with the most egregious welfare loving dirt bag of them all - Gough Whitlam. It makes me rage with utter contempt for what you lot have done!!
The irony is I'm tipping the taxi drivers were probably wearing turbans.

Dont you bleeding heart whites open your eyes and see that this rubbish littering our streets is black. Black, a racist problem that we have here., Send them back to the deserts where they belong. They will not assimilate so why pretend they will.
Sooner they all expire the better off we whites will be.

Seriously!!!!!........ People getting turned down because the fare isn't long enough happens all the time in this state.
To old bigot on the train, well they exist everywhere. The best thing to do is ignore these uneducated buffoons and don't give them any oxygen. The problem though, is that in the age of social media, everyone feels they have to share every minute of their day with complete strangers.
This is a publicity stunt…

Brian - when you're a minority (and i am not referring to specific race) and subjected to racial rants or comments it is hard to ignore because it is a sad and upsetting experience especially when you also consider yourself Austraian. I'm asian and i remember having these sort of problems in high school. Overtime I learn to ignore it though but these sort of incidents we read in newspapers just remind me of how i used to feel.

Lane Kiffin defends Matt Barkley, rips USC defense coached by his father
Former USC quarterback Matt Barkley may have made a mistake by returning to school for his senior season last year.
Former USC quarterback Matt Barkley may have made a mistake by returning to school for his senior season last year.
Matt Barkley said this week that USC's offense focused on Marqise Lee too much at times this season, but Trojans head coach Lane Kiffin disagrees.
Former USC running back Marc Tyler gave some harsh criticism of Trojans quarterback Matt Barkley while watching USC lose to Oregon 62-51 on Saturday.
Oregon has been the class of the Pac-12 the past three seasons, but two opposing quarterbacks haven't made their life easy.
After throwing for 3,528 yards, 39 touchdowns and only seven interceptions last season, USC quarterback Matt Barkley would have been a very high pick in the 2012 draft had he not chosen stay in school
When Matt Barkley announced his decision to return to USC for his senior season on Thursday, he thanked his fans and family for helping him with the decision.
Matt Barkley surprised many people by announcing Thursday he would return to USC for his senior season.
Never in my life can I remember more buzz surrounding a college quarterback than Andrew Luck. That's not to say it hasn't happened — I just can't remember it.

Enda takes a tumble but vows not to fall short of party's goals
Published 01/03/2014 | 02:30
IT'S all about timing, is politics. Having negotiated all sorts of political stumbling-blocks in recent weeks, the Taoiseach almost took a literal stumble of his own as he took centre-stage at the curtain-raiser of his party's Ard Fheis last night.
Just before 8pm, Enda bustled towards the stage of the hall to deliver his opening address – but his entrance could've ended up more spectacular than he intended, as he almost came a cropper in front of his audience by stumbling twice en route to the podium.
"You have to watch your step around here," he quipped cheerfully, before launching into a speech which was serious rather than upbeat, and dwelt at length on health-related matters.
But at the end, he encouraged the delegates "talk about anything you like – football, politics, and don't be afraid to tell us what's on your mind".
Afterwards he walked about meeting delegates, and laughed off his almost-dramatic entrance. "As Shakespeare said, "wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast," he joked.
But the timing was with Fine Gael in other ways. After all the Shatter Shenanigans of recent weeks, the hoohah simmered down – for the moment anyway – just in time for the kick-off. And something else kicking off in the RDS tonight is the Leinster-Glasgow Warriors rugby match, at 8.30pm, precisely the same hour the Taoiseach begins his keynote televised speech to his own ranks of Team Enda.
This timing could be a bad thing – a political address doesn't really have the TV viewer pulling power of a tasty sports fixture. But on a bright note, there'll be loads of loud cheering inside and outside the hall, and the whole place will be coming down with Blueshirts of one sort or the other.
There was a bit of a buzz about the RDS as delegates and politicians arrived for the opening session of the two-day event. The floods have receded, exposing a few green shoots. Jobless figures are finally starting to go in the right direction. The troika have left. The Coalition are tipping along together without too much crockery being broken in Government Buildings.
So tails were cautiously up. The larger-than-usual numbers in the RDS were swelled by posses of neatly turned out candidates for the local elections.
Among them was former boxer Kenneth Egan, who's running for a seat on the South Dublin County Council. He was being shown around his first Ard Fheis by Frances Fitzgerald.
"I'm going to be doing a lot of listening," he said. (Though someone should tell him that if things get a bit heated on the floor during debates on various motions, the Olympic silver medallist might have to take a more active role).
As everyone awaited the arrival of the Taoiseach , ministers including Michael Noonan, Leo Varadkar, Phil Hogan and Simon Coveney milled about, chatting to delegates.
Behind the Agriculture Minister was a large food stand containing 200 different stalls from a variety of companies who each shelled out €250 to feed the Fine Gael masses with samples of their produce.
"It seemed like a good idea to showcase Irish food this way," said Simon, who would be well advised to pack a decent lunch when he heads off to New Zealand and Australia on Paddy's Day duty later this month.
"I'll be in six cities in eight days," he explained.
There were other stands busily setting up in the hall, too. Cork South Central deputy Jerry Buttimer was unleashing his inner Blue Peter child, affixing a Fine Gael LGBT sign in a flurry of velcro and sticky tape. And undoubtedly there'll be plenty of interest in one of the justice motions up for debate this afternoon. Put down by the Bishopstown West branch, it calls on the Ard Fheis to support the passing of the forthcoming referendum on same-sex marriage.
If all of politics is a stage, then another player with impeccable timing is Lucinda Creighton. As the Ard Fheis began, across the city the former Fine Gael minister was delivering a speech on what she described as "the belligerence" of the political whip system.
Shakespeare also said something about weaving tangled webs. But enough about all those gardai-related kerfuffles . . .

In the admin "Captured 404 URLs" display, when you hover on a URL, you get the 'Edit | Trash | etc.' links.
It would be great to have a "View" link which opened the URL in a new window.
That would let me quickly see the 404 page so I can see the 404 Page Suggestions. That's very handy because I often want to just create a permanent redirect to the top suggestion to clean up old broken links.
Bonus: Show me a "top suggestion" control too, with a "create permanent redirect". So it lets me help the plugin along with the "this suggestion is good enough" for the 404s that it's not redirecting automatically on it's own.

When the shifting problem got so bad that we could no longer drive the vehicle, we asked them to stand behind their work. They told us to take a hike; that the warranty had expired. We had to pay a more reputable shop to rebuild the transmission again. We had no other recourse but to sue All Trans Parts, Inc. in West Phoenix Justice Court, Small Claims Division.
They wouldn't even tell us who the owner was on the phone, so we had to call the Arizona Corporation Commission to find out who to serve the paper to. We were not surprised when we found out that All Trans Parts, Inc. had their status as a corporation revoked in August 1980 for failure to maintain a statutory agent. When I called the BBB in February, I was told they were not a member and had one unresolved complaint. When I checked back in early March to find out about that complaint, I was told they were a member and in good standing. I don't know what to believe. I filed a complaint against them with the BBB. We also filed a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General's office of consumer fraud.
All Trans Parts, Inc. responded to our small-claims summons by requesting the case be transferred to the civil court division and hired one of the largest and well-known law firms in Phoenix, Lewis and Roca, to defend them from a $1,200 small claims suit!!
Now, they are trying to scare and intimidate us into giving up. We are scratching our heads trying to figure out what the purpose of Small Claims Court is if the defendant can demand to have the case transferred so he can have an attorney, which we cannot afford. It doesn't seem right, does it?
We would appreciate any help you might provide. We just want our money refunded for the shoddy transmission work.

Sudeep's Maanikya To Clash With Ulidavaru Kandanthe, Ragini IPS!
It is a common belief among many movie makers in India to release their films on the day of festivals, for a simple reason that they could attract large number of crowd. After seeing the Pongal battle in Tamil and Telugu film industry between Veeram, Jilla and Yevadu, 1 Nenokkadine respectively in early January, now audience are all set to witness Ugadi Battle in Kannada film industry.
Yes, this year 2014 Ugadi festival will be very special for the Kannada audience as the makers of three much anticipated Kannada movies have queued up their film to release for the festival. As it was earlier confirmed by Sandalwood Superstar Abhinaya Chakravarthy Kiccha Sudeep Maanikya will be releasing for Ugadi festival across the state. Beside Maanikya, actor Rakshith Shetty's directorial debut Ulidavaru Kandanthe and Sexy lass Ragini Dwivedi starrer Ragini IPS have been slated to release on March 28, which is considered to be a biggest clash at Karnataka Box Office after many years.
Ragini Dwivedi starrer Ragini IPS, which had wrapped up its shooting in last November had delayed its release date due to the unknown reasons and now joined Ugadi battle along with Kiccha's Maanikya and Rakshith's Ulidavaru Kandanthe. Continue reading the story on slide show...

Hi there
I have just installed WordPress and have amended the "Default" theme to be the same as my own website. I have only amended the CSS entries I've needed to so that the theme is the same, and have left all the typography unchanged. BUT! When I click on the Blog Entry title or the Comments link I get the Next/Previous Posts links at the top of the page, and the title is in between them. On the default theme the title is on the next line. I can't see anything wrong in index.php or my style.css sheet, does anyone know why this might be happening?
http://www.peanutwood.net/weblog/?p=2 shows the next/previous links and the title on the same line.
If anyone can't point out why this is doing this I'd be very appreciative!

Reduction of CO2 Emissions in Houses of Historic and Visual Importance

AbstractAccording to the 'Climate Programme' the municipality of Amsterdam has the ambition to reduce the CO2 emissions within the city limits by 40% in the year 2025 compared to the year 1990. To realize this ambition substantial CO2 savings have to be realized at the 375,000 current houses in the city. A special challenge is formed by the houses of historic and visual importance, as the implementation of standard energy saving measures may conflict with the ambition to protect their cultural and historic values. Nyenrode Business University was asked to study the possibilities for a successful combination of ambitions in both fields. This article shows an overview of suggestions that focus on the combination of technical and process orientated innovations which can contribute to the acceleration of the reduction of CO2 emissions in houses of historic and visual importance. The article therefore addresses political and technical as well as financial and process related aspects in implementing energy saving measures in this category of buildings.
Keywords: CO2 reduction; historic buildings; cultural values; scenic quality; balance between preservation and innovation

There aren't any open polls.
Ever since I was done with my art history degree, I've been missing the intense and insightful reading schedule I endured as a student. True, I still try to catch up with new publications, but I know I miss out a lot. So, I thought that doing it as a group may bring more motivation as well as enhance the understanding of serious writings about art through a stimulating discussion. If you share my interests in art history and criticism - do join. I see this as monthly book club/discussion group meetings, and we can pick the titles together.

Information for Property Owners and Investors
We collect and make available a wide range of information about New Zealand's land. Some of it is the kind of information you need when buying, selling or developing land, like survey or property boundaries, certificates of title (showing who owns a property) and other land records. Other information, like maps and place names, can be useful also for family tree or historical research. Our job is to ensure that all this information is accurate and reliable. We do this by setting the standards for this information and how it's collected. We also maintain the systems that ensure you have ready access to land information when you need it.
Are you a Canterbury property owner who may be affected by earthquake caused ground movement?
In some areas of Canterbury, mainly in Christchurch city, ground movement caused by the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence has made it difficult for surveyors to accurately locate legal property boundaries. An example is the movement resulting from liquefaction which affected some areas of Christchurch.
Normally legal property boundaries remain fixed in location and do not move with any ground movement. However because of the widespread and significant ground movement in Christchurch there is the potential for legal boundaries to no longer align with physical structures on the land.
A new bill has been introduced to parliament that, if passed, will mean that surveyors have to take ground movement into account when locating property boundaries.
This will mean that the legal boundaries of your property will continue to align with where you expect them to be – as marked prior to the earthquakes by surveyors' boundary markers, and where your fence line is likely to be.

You may have received a notice from LINZ under the Land Transfer Act. Find out what your notice means.
Know your property rights?
Even when you own your property, sometimes others have rights to use it or work on it. Generally, surveyors need your permission to undertake surveys on your property. However, there are times when we give special authorisation for them to work without it. In these cases surveyors:
- can be on your land but cannot enter buildings
- must give you reasonable notice

I installed the list category post template and would like to change the appearance format of the list.
The template/default.php is currently inactive when I go to the plugin editor window in my dashboard.
The main question is how do I set up the lcp_catlist and template so I can make some adjustments to the output esp. putting a break between posts and to get rid of the bullet point?

'500 Days of Summer' no average love story
When writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber set out to make a film it wasn't going to be a traditional Hollywood romance with a happy ending — because it was based on Neustadter's personal experience. The film opens with a narrator warning us "This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy Tom Hansen (Joseph... Read more →

ASK and receive
Families in crisis turn to childhood cancer support group
Jonathan Pilch had never had a sick day in his life.
So in January 2008, when he began to act grumpy and out-of-sorts, his mother – who had observed similar behavior in her two older sons – assumed the two-year-old was getting his molars.
When several days went by and Jonathan was still too listless to play, Pam Pilch suspected something more serious was wrong. But nothing could have prepared her for the response when she took Jonathan to the doctor.
"The pediatrician took one look at him," Pam recalls, "and said, 'He is very, very sick. I'm going to call the rescue squad.'"
The next day, she and her husband were told that Jonathan had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
"I can't tell you what a shock it is to learn your child has cancer," Pilch says today. "It was really scary. . . We had no idea what to do."
Fortunately, there were parents from ASK who did.
At Every Turn
A Richmond nonprofit that provides support for children with cancer and their families, ASK was founded in 1975 by a small group of parents of pediatric cancer patients at Medical College of Virginia.
From its modest beginnings arranging small parent gatherings and providing resources such as books, toys and games for children in treatment, ASK has grown today into an organization that steps in at diagnosis and guides families through the full range of non-clinical treatment.
"They've personally been there at every turn," says Pilch. "They just shepherd us through everything. The social worker helped us handle the insurance. They file for financial aid when you can't figure out the paperwork. They bring gift bags to the hospital. They remember the kids' birthdays; they remember the siblings. They throw a huge Christmas party.
"People from ASK knew what I needed before I needed it."
On the Front Line
In the years since 1975, when childhood cancer was virtually a death sentence and much of ASK's focus was on bereavement support, survival rates have improved dramatically. Now the organization's focus, happily, has shifted to helping families with the challenges of long-term survival.
Among those challenges are dealing with the effects of toxic chemicals used in treatment, which can lead to cognitive impairment for survivors.
"ASK does a lot with helping children in school," says Pilch, adding that emergency support is another vital mission. Parents in financial difficulty who have an overdue bill or are being kicked out of their apartment have access to an email list of contacts ready to locate temporary assistance.
"They're on the front line," says Pilch, "with financial, emotional, academic and social support."
So when ASK holds its annual fundraiser April 30 – a family fun walk and 5k at Short Pump Town Center -- the Pilch family not only plans to be in attendance, but to show up with as many friends and Wellesley neighbors as they can possibly recruit.
And Pam Pilch is happy to report that five-year-old Jonathan – who received his last dose of chemotherapy on March 27 – will blend right into the crowd.
"If you saw my three kids," says Pilch, "you would not be able to guess which one has been sick."
Moving Forward
For the Price family of Henrico, ASK has been a lifeline as well – offering not only financial and emotional support, but a chance for 14-year-old Nile to rebuild his strength and self-esteem.
Diagnosed with sickle cell anemia at birth, Nile spent months in the hospital at the age of 12, enduring chemotherapy and suffering severe pain before obtaining the bone marrow transplant he needed to survive.
In the year before the transplant, he had become too weak to go to school – even too weak to play. In his first post-transplant attempt at exercising, he could barely manage ten minutes of walking on a treadmill. But since then, the freshman at Douglas Freeman High School has come a long way – thanks to a program called Moving Forward.
A partnership between ASK and the YMCA of Greater Richmond, Moving Forward provides participants with a Y family membership, a free personal trainer, and cooking classes and a dietician throughout the year.
The weekly workouts at John Rolfe YMCA – which often include his brothers and mother Deborah as well –have not only helped Nile to regain his strength, but also to build his confidence. On March 3, in fact, Nile spoke at the first Moving Forward graduation program.
In addition, the group workouts have brought the family closer together – and resulted in a 20-pound weight loss for Deborah.
'I'm Not Alone'
Two months ago, the Price family traveled to Houston to meet the woman who donated the marrow that saved Nile's life.
"She's 47 and a mother of two," says Deborah Price. "One son was born with CHARGE Syndrome and is blind and deaf, so she understands the in-and-out-of-the-hospital [lifestyle].
"Our families just jelled," adds Price. "She's now 'Auntie Laura.' She says, 'Now I have three sons!'"
Although Nile was attending half days at Freeman for awhile, he recently suffered a setback due to lung damage from the sickle cell, and is again doing lessons with a homebound teacher.
Being at home would be a lot harder, says his mother, if not for the friendships Nile has forged through ASK. "It's helped him meet more kids," she says. "[He can say] 'I'm definitely not alone; there are other teenagers I can connect with.' That has meant a lot to him."
Recalling that she first turned to ASK for financial aid ("after Nile came home from the hospital with a bag of meds [costing] five- or six-hundred dollars"), Deborah Price notes that the group offers much more than monetary support, and that she looks forward to enrolling in a support group for caregivers.
"The thing I like most [about ASK] is that they are there for the child," says Price.
"But they help everyone in the family."
The ASK Family Fun Walk and 5K will be held April 30 at the Short Pump Town Center. For details, visit http://askwalk.org .

and learn how City Light is planning out your energy needs for the next 20 years.
Seattle City Light is developing a 2016 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), a long-term plan that outlines how we will meet anticipated customer needs over the next 20 years. The IRP ensures that we meet our obligation to supply reliable electricity to customers at a reasonable cost, while factoring in key environmental and social considerations.
Since most new resources require significant lead times to build, electric utilities must plan ahead to be sure that the required resources will be in place when needed. Because integrated electricity systems are complex and capital-intensive, IRPs are typically based on load forecasts and resource options that extend well into the future. Taking such a long-term view means that the IRP needs to be sufficiently flexible to respond to changing market conditions and future uncertainties.
Seattle City Light intends to provide an IRP or an IRP Update every two years to its governing board, the Seattle City Council.
In developing its IRP, City Light is seeking the input of various interested parties, to help understand and appreciate their perspectives and preferences related to electricity options. As part of the IRP process, this input will be used to create a more comprehensive planning process, and create the framework for future input into energy planning initiatives.
