Terre Blair, 27 and a successful TV broadcaster, recalls that she "was always the kid who made straight A's, sat up in front in class and had her hand in the air—the kid everyone hated." This all changed last year when she quit her job at New York's PM Magazine. She says the resulting months of idleness mellowed her. Viewers can decide for themselves; hired recently by ABC to cover, among other events, the Los Angeles Olympics, the brown-eyed blonde will be a virtual fixture on television next summer. She began her career at 16, announcing high school football scores on the radio in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio. While attending nearby Otterbein College, she became a local TV weather girl and hostess of a magazine show, then moved to New York.
The daughter of a college professor and a housewife, she says her drive has almost derailed her personal life. Her engagement to producer Sy (Tarzan) Weintraub broke up partly because her new job has kept her traveling. One jaunt, to Hawaii to cover the Iron Man Triathlon, proved inspiring. To keep her 5'8", 110-pound form lithe, Blair has begun training two hours a day to enter a minitriathlon: a one-mile swim, a 26-mile bike ride and a 10-mile run. Although Blair lives in Manhattan and believes, she says, in "no pain, no gain," she does confess, "I want to do the minitriathlon in California or Hawaii so I don't freeze to death during the swim."
Reggie Miller, 18, likes to tell of his high school days when he would sidle up to a couple of guys shooting hoops and ask innocently, "Wanna play me and my sister for 10 bucks?" Then, Reggie recalls with a grin, "Cheryl would come out of the bushes. Boom, boom, she'd shoot and we'd win. The guys would be awed."
Cheryl Miller, 19, is the 6'3" forward who last year led USC's women's team to the national basketball title—and will likely play on next year's Olympic team. With three inches on his sister, baby brother Reggie is a UCLA freshman battling to become a starting forward. He says he sees Cheryl, a communications major, as more of a twin than a sister, while Cheryl simply coos, "He almost makes me cry just because he's so sweet." The third and fourth of five children born to a well-off (and 6'5½") computer analyst and a 5'8" registered nurse in Riverside, Calif., Cheryl and Reggie each had phenomenal records in high school and were swamped by college offers. A drama major, Reggie confesses he was won over to UCLA by a phone call from former All-America Bruin-turned-actor Michael (Hill Street Blues) Warren. Reggie hopes to play in the NBA someday, then take his act to Broadway. But he realizes he first must prove that he can play the boards.

This review is from: Hisense Sero 7 PRO M470BSA 7.0" Touchscreen Android Tablet NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core CPU 1.30Ghz, 1GB Memory, 8GB Internal Storage, Micro SD card slot, Mini HDMI Out, NFC, Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)
Pros: This tablet has great features for the price -beautiful display, decent speed.
Cons: This tab has some serious issues with WiFi circuitry, it keeps going on and off as if someone is flipping the switch. I have 2 laptops and 2 other tablets (different brand) and never in 4 year had this problem on any one of them. And I am saying that network access on this tab becomes slow - it just disconnects and re-connects repeatedly. Main purpose for any tablet is to be able to connect to network and this is the reason I RMAd this tab fro replacement. Hopefully next one will not have this WiFi issue. I will update my review and rating once replacement is received.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: VIZIO VTAB1008 Single-core Marvell 600 Series ARM 512MB RAM Memory 4GB Flash 8.0" Tablet Android
Pros: I bought 2 refurbished vtabs. I noticed that micro USB cable was not sitting properly in the tab port (the metal connector was not going in all the way and was moving from side to side too much). I read a lot of reviews about bad charging port and was worried that I would end up in same situation. What I did to avoid this issue was - I bought a half inch hard plastic washer at home depot, sliced about 2 millimeter piece from it and cut it in half. Cut it so that it would sit around the top part of metal connector (top part meaning - facing same way as the screen) and glued it to the plastic part of the connector (be careful so the glue does not leak inside the connector and wait until it fully dries up). This way I made the metal connector shorter so it would sit snuggly against the tab and also made the plastic part of it wider to prevent the connector from moving too much from side to side. I have the tabs for a year now without problems. Vizio could have added tons more happy customers if they made this minor adjustment to the USB cable. By-the-way - the tabs are of great quality otherwise and I definitely recommend them to all who don't want to spend too much money and still want to get a very good quality tab.
Cons: I feel that Vizio should have shown more action in resolving charging port problem. It appears that minor re-design of USB cable could have made a big difference for alot of frustrated users.READ FULL REVIEW

Otters' Crisp relies on simplicity
Connor Crisp doesn't consider himself to be a pure goal scorer anymore.
He figures those days ended when he joined the OHL two years ago. Crisp is a power forward now, and he's just fine with that.
"I love it. I love the part of my game that I'm playing," said Crisp, the Erie Otters' third-year forward, who entered Saturday night's game against Kitchener at Erie Insurance Arena ranked third on the team with eight goals. Crisp, who also has five assists, considers teammates Connor McDavid and Connor Brown and Rangers winger Matt Puempel to be goal-scorers. He feels he has to play a simpler game.
"Keep crashing the net," Crisp said, an approach that has worked well on a line with center Luke Cairns and winger Anthony Cortellessa.
Crisp pointed to the chemistry he has developed on that line, which has helped elevate his overall game in what has in essence been his first full OHL season.
Crisp missed the first five weeks of his rookie season in 2010-11 with a concussion. He didn't play regularly the rest of the season, then he missed nearly all of the 2011-12 season following shoulder surgery. He had five goals and six points in 54 games coming into the season.
"I feel like I've been playing good," Crisp said. "It's coming along. I've just got to keep working at it."
- Evans on the mend: Second-year center Jake Evans remained sidelined with a stitched-up thumb on his right hand. He was sliced by a skate after falling to the ice Nov. 16 in Kitchener. His finger remained heavily wrapped. He will be reevaluated by doctors Monday, but Evans is unsure when he will rejoin the lineup. "We'll see what happens," Evans said Saturday.
- Fan trip update: Eight seats remain on the fan bus headed to St. Catharines, Ontario, on New Year's Eve for the Otters' 6 p.m. game against Niagara. The cost for a seat on the bus and ticket to the game is $40 for fan club members and $45 for non-members. The bus will make a stop at Niagara Falls after the game. Call Stephanie Brown at (814) 431-0158 to make a reservation or for more information.
- News and notes: The Otters scratched Evans and fellow forwards Nick Betz (appendicitis) and Dane Fox (foot) for Saturday's game. ... Otters coach Robbie Ftorek took a more defensive approach against the Rangers, moving rookie Justin Felker back to defense from forward and playing with 11 forwards instead of 12 up front.

I do not count non-starchy veges or berries. Or the carbs in cheese(but I eat a few ounces daily at most. If I was a total cheese fiend, I would have to count.), cream, or seafood. I DO count for starchy veges, other fruits, nuts, and any non-primal extras. This keeps me honest without turning every meal into a crazy counting game.

Under PB standard, count all carbs, even fiber.
I only count fructose, when I can be bothered to count.
I ballpark glucose only to make sure I eat enough. I don't count fructose or fiber.
ETA: Most veg except root veg are barely worth factoring in for glucose. I do factor in milk and yoghurt for glucose (inc galactose).

American Top Team product today issued a statement regarding a
complaint filed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Tuesday.
After Silva's "A" sample was flagged by the commission following
Silva's dominant victory over Brandon Vera
at UFC
125 on New Year's Day, the fighter's "B" sample produced
inconclusive results.
After further examination, it was determined that Silva's second
sample was "inconsistent with human urine" and the commission
therefore believed that the fighter had submitted an "adulterated
and/or substituted specimen for testing."
With a preliminary hearing set for April 7 to discuss a temporary
suspension, the fighter is entitled to 20 days to respond to the
commission's complaint from the date it is filed. Silva took only
one day to issue his response:
"We make decisions every day of our lives. Some are good and some
are bad," Silva wrote. "When you make a bad decision, you can
either make the situation worse by trying to cover it up or lie
about it or just stick your head in the sand and refuse to
acknowledge it even happened, or you can own up to it with an
honest explanation, accept the consequences of your actions,
apologize to the people affected by it, learn from it and move on.
I'm choosing the second option.
"I used a urine adulterant when giving a sample following my fight
with Brandon Vera. I did so in an attempt to alter the results of
the test and knowingly broke the rules of the Nevada Athletic
Commission. This was a terrible decision on my part for which I
will be punished. I am prepared to accept this punishment, learn
from it and move on. I apologize to the commission, the UFC,
Brandon Vera and the MMA fans."
Silva explained his circumstance, citing a recurring back injury
that plagued him one year ago in his loss to Rashad
"I reinjured my back 45 days before the fight with Brandon Vera.
After not fighting for a year, I made the decision to not pull out
of the fight. I also decided that the only way I could continue
with the fight was to take injections in my back and spine that
contained substances prohibited by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
I also made the decision to use a product to hide the presence of
these substances in a urine test."
The Brazilian went on to explain that he acted independently and
without the knowledge of his trainers or anyone else out of the
fear that he would not be allowed to fight, though Silva then
acknowledged that withdrawing from the fight would resulted in a
better outcome than the situation in which he currently finds
"Again, I take full responsibility for making the decision to break
the rules and try to cheat the system. I will accept the punishment
I receive and will learn from this. I plan to come back as a better
person and professional as a result."

DAVOS, Switzerland — Despite the slowdown in the global economy, high crude oil prices are expected to persist this year, driven by supply shortfalls, brisk demand in dynamic Asian emerging nations and geopolitical concerns.
This story first appeared in the February 19, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Top executives and experts said the continued high cost of oil is also expected to impact adversely on synthetic fibers, which are sensitive to the price of petroleum. Spiraling oil prices have also pushed freight rates sharply upward and have led many companies to revisit the proximity-to-market doctrine and where they source their supplies, including textile and apparel firms.
Senior Chinese officials have recently sounded the alarm that high energy and food prices are largely responsible for the increase in that country's inflation and calls by Chinese workers for sharp wage increases, which could put the top apparel manufacturing country at a competitive disadvantage to lower-cost producers.
"I think that on the energy side, I see relatively high prices for some time to come because we are seeing a structural imbalance between the supply and demand on the energy side," said Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, in an interview at last month's World Economic Forum meeting here.
Gurria said, "There are circumstances that suggest there are imbalances in the supply and demand equation, which is not just a speculative bubble, it's not just people trying to guess. There is a stronger pull on the demand and supply has not responded at the same speed."
Nobuo Tanaka, executive director of the International Energy Agency, said in an interview, "The current level of [oil] inventory in the consuming countries is very low. It's the lowest in the five-year average and at the same time the spare capacity in the producing countries is also very low."
Tanaka, who heads the agency consisting of 27 "rich" countries, including the U.S., said, "This creates very much volatility in the markets." He said oil-producing countries can do more and added that "at the same time, consuming countries can do more by energy efficiency and conservation."
In recent weeks, crude oil prices have been hovering between $80 and $90 a barrel and in early January breached the $100 a barrel benchmark. On Friday, world oil prices advanced toward $100 a barrel, briefly topping $96, as geopolitical jitters in places such as Nigeria and Venezuela stoked global supply concerns, even as Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke predicted "a period of sluggish growth" ahead for the energy-dependent U.S. economy.
Also on Friday, the OPEC oil cartel lowered its projections for growth of demand this year in response to a slowdown in world economic growth, predicting demand would likely increase by 1.43 percent rather than a previous estimate of 1.52 percent.
Charles Dallara, managing director of the Institute of International Finance, said he expects a dip in commodity prices as a result of a slowdown in the U.S., the world's biggest economy. But Dallara, a former U.S. Treasury official, said he thinks agricultural commodities "are less likely to be affected by the slowdown then perhaps crude oil."
However, the scenario feared by most is geopolitical crises, especially in oil-rich nations, or a terrorist attack on key oil infrastructure or transportation choke points, sending prices to new highs.
Fred Bergsten, director of the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics, told the WEF attendees, "There is concern that oil will go up to $200 [a barrel] driven by geopolitical crisis."
Daniel Yergin, chairman of Cambridge Energy Research Associates, said in an interview that his group has one scenario called "breakpoint" where the price of oil, as a result of geopolitical disruption, rises to $150 a barrel before retreating.

Marine Rescue volunteers at Forster have life saving day
by Ken McManus on 9 Jul 2013
Volunteers from Marine Rescue NSW Botany Bay unit Mark Moretti
On Saturday,two members of Marine Rescue Forster Tuncurry have been commended for helping save the life of a fisherman in a medical emergency .
Unit Commander Dennis Travers said Watch Officer Grant Maxwell had been on duty in the unit's radio base on the Forster breakwall about 9am on Saturday when he received a garbled radio call that he had been unable to understand.
'He then noticed a boat returning across the bar at the entrance to Cape Hawke Harbour at great speed and a short time later, a man arrived at the base asking if Grant could take a defibrillator down to the boat ramp,' he said.
'Grant grabbed the defibrillator from the unit's reception area and hurried to the nearby Forster Boat Harbour ramp a couple of hundred metres away.
'When he arrived he found another Forster Tuncurry member, Milton Shaw, performing CPR on a man from the boat that he had seen rushing in from sea.
'Milton and Grant connected the defibrillator and applied one shock before re-starting CPR on the man.
'NSW Ambulance and Fire and Rescue crews arrived and transferred the man to Manning Base Hospital. We understand he had suffered heart damage.
'We don't think this was the type of day the gentleman and his two friends had planned when they left to go fishing off shore.
'The use of the defibrillator saved the man's life. This was a great result, thanks to the efforts of Milton and Grant.'
MRNSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos commended the two volunteers for their swift, calm response to a serious medical emergency.
'Grant and Milton have demonstrated the value of our members' comprehensive first aid training and the life-saving impact of defibrillator units.
'These two volunteers are a credit to their unit and our organisation and deserve our thanks and congratulations for their ability and the assistance they provided in a life-threatening emergency.'

Bethlehem city employees hit the jackpot
Posted: 1:41 PM EST Feb 20, 2014 Updated: 6:45 AM EST Feb 21, 2014
A group of Bethlehem employees are feelin' lucky after a $1 million lottery win.
Ten members of the city's parks and public property department purchased the winning Powerball ticket from the Stefko Mini Mart on Stefko Boulevard.
The ticket matched all five white balls from Wednesday night's drawing, but it did not match the red Powerball.
The group will split the $1 million prize 10 ways, less 25 percent federal withholding.
The Stefko Mini Mart will get $5,000 for selling the ticket.
Meanwhile, Wednesday night's $425 million Powerball jackpot was won by a single ticket purchased in California.

Our first piece of audio fiction for June is "Semiramis" written by Genevieve Valentine and read by Kate Baker.
craigr1971 wrote on June 8th, 2011 at 10:05 pm:
I loved Kate's strong and effortless reading, as always. The story was imaginative, but I found it hard to get worked up about a seed bank. There was some plot reference about deep-plant (pun intended) agents stealing seeds, but I never found out who they worked for and why. To spend YEARS as a deep-op, to be willing to die (implied) for the cause, I have to hope it was for more than money, but I don't know. The "post global warming rise in sea levels" was a fresh angle to explore, but a seed bank? Mayhem in the cities, dogs marrying cats, sure - but a seed bank secret agent?
A Corvus wrote on June 29th, 2011 at 7:51 pm:
The seed bank is a kind of genetic vault to preserve the many varieties of plant species. Not only vital because variety is interesting, a seed bank might be vital in protecting diversity. A disease that attacks common varieties of apple trees, for example, might not be able to harm other varieties. There used to be dozens of kinds of apples in each orchard but economic pressures eliminated many. Of late small growers are producing many "heirloom" varieties and the diversity is delicious (no pun intended). Unlike craig I would risk my life as an agent for a seed bank.
Kate amazing as always!

The island accommodates 26 people, with 10 rooms in The Great House including The Master Suite supplemented by three authentic one-bedroom Balinese houses. The Bali Cottages are within easy reach of the main house but offer a little more privacy for those who would like to escape from time to time. They each have an open-air sitting and dining area, which can be used for lunches during your stay or late night parties away from the main house.
At Necker you can choose to do as much or as little as you please. Every morning after breakfast staff will ask everyone what they would like to do for the day. The choices are almost endless...We have a full range of water sports available along with instruction, including windsurfing, waterskiing, sailing, wakeboarding and sea kayaking. We have some great areas for snorkelling and can take you to other areas of the BVIs for this too. For those who love the water but want to be less active, there are two main swimming pools and beaches offering safe swimming. There is also an aqua trampoline for extra fun!The Beach Pavilion is a wonderful place to spend the day (or night!), and houses one of the most stunning pools around! It can be accessed from both land and beach sides, there is a swim-up bar complete with rocks in the pool where guests can sit and enjoy a drink. It is a freeform infinity pool complete with counter-current swimming, a water exercise machine and a waterfall. Within the pool complex is our thatched Crocodile Pavilion, complete with a large solid teak crocodile table where guests can be served fresh fare from the Pavilion's gourmet kitchen. If you prefer to keep your feet dry we have plenty of options including two tennis courts, an air conditioned gymnasium, lots of board games, chess, books and a huge range of DVDs and CDs. There are also plenty of things we can arrange for you to do off the island such as deep sea fishing trips, scuba diving, yacht charters and helicopter trips for shopping or island hopping.Or, you could find yourself a hammock with a beautiful view and let the gentle sea breezes caress you into blissful oblivion...

Magic Formula Investing Filter explained - In his book, "The Little Book That Beats The market", Joel Greenblatt laid out an investment formula for selecting a portfolio of shares that should beat the market over the long term. His formula contains a few grey areas. Sharelock Holmes has a screen for Greenblatt; although it is unlikely to be an exact replication of the formula. It is proably "good enough", though. As part of my filter, I select companies with a market capitalisation of at least £300m. Investment Trusts are excluded, not least because the database doesn't hold their details. They are unlikely to be suitable candidates in any event.
As at March 2011, this yields a universe approaching 400 companies, which is a goodly selection to choose from. I then focus on the top 40 stocks within that universe. The purpose of the MFI (Magic Formula Investing) filter is to find stocks that are "good and cheap". "Good" is measured by ROC (Return On Capital), calculated as EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) to "tangible capital employed". "Cheap" is measured by EY (Earnings Yield), being EBIT/EV (Enterprise Value). Greenblatt uses a slightly modified version of EV. He also excludes financials from his screen, although I include them for simplicity's sake.
Elevator Pitch
BLT.L - BHP Billiton - Mining - 2587p/£56bn - BLT is a blue chip mining company with good prospects and a solid balance sheet. It qualifies as an MFI company, having high returns on captital available at an attractive price. It deserves a place in a diversified portfolio, despite some uncertainty about the direction of commodities.
I could describe this company as a commodity play, but I wont. I have heard so many bullish and bearish arguments about commodities that it is impossible for me to decide who to believe. My feeling is this: mining is an important sector, so unless you have a strong bearish conviction about the sector, BHP Billiton (LON:BLT) deserves a place in a balanced diversified portfolio. If commodities tank, then BLT will likely tank, too. That's the risk you take. In a different post, I remained sanguine about the outlook.
There are other interesting miners/oil/gas companies in the MFI that are also likely to be worthy of attention, although I haven't looked at them myself:

- ■ Mazda extends opportunities to businesses throughout the world, regardless of nationality, scale or history of transactions with the Company.
- ■ Upon receiving a request to start business with Mazda, Mazda assesses the company in question in a fair and even-handed manner according to its in-house criteria for evaluation of suppliers, and determines the feasibility of a business partnership.
- ■ Mazda requests that suppliers comply with Mazda Supplier CSR Guidelines and Mazda Green Purchasing Guidelines.
<Examples of Specific Measures>
- ■ Publishing of the "Request for Thorough Compliance with Labor Related Laws" for all suppliers (January 2005)
- ■ Briefing sessions for employees and suppliers based on the "Guidelines for Appropriate Transactions in the Automobile Industry" formulated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (2008)
- ■ Clarification of the behavioral guidelines for appropriate transactions by formulating the "Promotion Manual for Appropriate Purchasing" (2008)
- ■ Posted relative materials to exclusive access site for suppliers in order to continue supplier education (August 2011 -)
- Example materials: "Behavioral Guidelines on Appropriate Purchasing," "Causes of and Countermeasures against Problematic Transactions," "Specific Handling Policies by Each Category of Disputable Transactions," etc.
Mazda Supplier CSR Guidelines
To promote CSR activities among Mazda suppliers, in July 2010 Mazda created the Mazda Supplier CSR Guidelines with reference to the CSR Guidelines of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. In addition to requesting total compliance with the laws and regulations of all countries and regions, the Guidelines outline six areas such as respect for people including the prohibition of child labor and forced labor, environmental protection and information disclosure, and request that all Mazda suppliers comply with the guidelines in these areas.
For the revision of the guidelines in July 2013, Mazda provided the clear policy toward disuse of raw materials, which should be the cause of social issues, including conflict minerals*2, and also requested suppliers to comply with it. The Mazda Green Purchasing Guidelines, which indicates the detail of the environmental protection area, is separately created and Mazda requests suppliers to comply with them.
*2 Conflict Minerals: Minerals and their derivative metals designated by Financial Regulatory Reform Article 1502 that are sourced from and used as financial source of armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo or the surrounding countries (Regulated minerals: tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold)
"Mazda Supplier CSR Guidelines" and "Mazda Green Purchasing Guidelines"

Questionnaire Survey for Suppliers
Aiming to establish a system to understand and evaluate the status of CSR implementation, Mazda conducts questionnaire surveys for its suppliers.
CSR Questionnaire
The CSR questionnaire survey was introduced in FY March 2014 for the purpose of comprehensively determining the status of CSR implementation of suppliers. In FY March 2015, the survey was carried out on 52 local suppliers engaged heavily in transactions with Mazda.
Results of Supplier CSR Survey
|FY March 2015
Target: 52 local suppliers
Survey on Conflict Minerals
Believing that the status of use of conflict minerals should be clarified urgently and in detail, Mazda conducts a separate survey on this issue. In FY March 2015, the Company after a briefing session for 84 suppliers of Mazda and its production site in Mexico, Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation (MMVO), a pilot survey on their status of use was conducted.
The Supplier Evaluation System
When starting business with a new supplier, related departments coordinate together to confirm the supplier's manufacturing site, control mechanisms, management status, CSR initiatives, technological/research & development capabilities, etc. in order to evaluate whether or not the supplier is compliant with the procurement/selection policies of the Mazda Group.
For each long-term supplier, Mazda conducts not only an evaluation based on quality, pricing and delivery status of procured goods or service, but also a comprehensive evaluation on the entire business including its quality control system, research & development system, and technological capabilities. For the supplier quality control system, Mazda employs a system that enables continuous grasping of issues, evaluation of the situation, and provision of guidance for improvement by receiving daily reports on product quality as well as voluntary audit results, and when a supplier is in need of quality improvement, conducts quality auditing that involves on-site confirmation of actual products at both domestic and overseas sites.
Also, Mazda comprehensively evaluates its suppliers every year (235 suppliers in 2014) from the perspectives of quality, cost, deadline accuracy, etc., in order to build more positive business relationships with them, and passes the results of these evaluations back to the suppliers. Outstanding suppliers are recognized with awards. The Company has also introduced CSR-based evaluation, giving special awards to suppliers that have made outstanding proposals on weight trimming, which greatly affects environmental performance such as fuel efficiency.
Supplier evaluation items
When starting business with a new supplier:
When starting business with a new supplier: Quality management system, research & development system, technological capacity, management status, production and delivery capacity
For long-term suppliers:
Quality management system, research & development system, technological capacity, management status, production and delivery capacity, quality of goods or services procured, pricing, delivery status, and other items in Supplier CSR Guidelines
Handling of Business Continuity (BCP) in the Supply Chain
Mazda is presently upgrading and expanding its business continuity plan (BCP) to prepare for risks and avoid long-term suspension of business that would extensively impact society. For procedures when suppliers are affected by disasters, the Company has compiled the Risk Management Procedures for Affected Suppliers, based on which procedures for building a response system, making an initial response, etc. are shared with the suppliers. Assuming a large-scale disaster, risks for each supplier were identified in terms of substitutability, location, and business continuity. By sharing the identified risks, measures against them will be developed. Mazda will continue to enhance BCP, which enables early recovery while placing the highest priority on human life.
Communicating with Suppliers
To enable coexistence mutual growth and prosperity for all parties, along with the overarching goal of building high-quality vehicles, Mazda Group, seeing all the suppliers as its important business partners, takes steps to promptly brief suppliers on medium to long-term business strategies and on matters related to sales and production, and arranges opportunities for the exchange of information on a regular basis.
The Company also maintains close liaisons with supplier-managed purchasing cooperative organizations*3. For example, staff from member companies visit each others' offices in order to exchange examples of successful approaches and practices through subcommittee activities. For FY March 2015, 124 companies conducted a total of 58 activities.
Lecture at Supplier Communication Meeting "Mazda's CSR initiatives"
(September 2014)
*3 Yokokai member companies: 171 parts suppliers, Yoshinkai member companies: 81 material suppliers
The procurement amount from member companies of Yokokai and Yoshinkai accounts for about 90% of the whole.
Major Channels of Communication with Supplier
|Target participants
|Roundtable Conference with Cupplier Management
|Executive-level management at major suppliers
|Once a year
|Supplier Meeting
|Representatives of frontline business divisions and departments at major suppliers
|Once a year
■ Mazda's specific purchasing policies are explained to representatives of frontline business divisions at suppliers, based on the explanation given at the roundtable conference by the general manager of the Purchasing Division. This helps to promote a better understanding of Mazda and provides useful input for the work that suppliers do.
|Supplier Communication Meeting
|Representatives of frontline business divisions and departments at major suppliers
|Once a month
■ To facilitate smoother collaboration with its suppliers, Mazda provides them with information such as topics concerning daily operations between Mazda and its suppliers (including CSR), production/sales status, quality status of purchased materials, pilot construction schedules for newly developed models, and mass-production implementation schedules for new models.
|As needed
■ Mazda also employs a range of other communication channels, by using the in-house "Mazda Technical Review", highlighting new technologies and research.
Other Measures for Supplier Support
- 1. Change to the "milk-run" system: Mazda has shifted from the conventional system, with delivery of parts by each supplier, to the "milk-run" system (MRS), in which Mazda trucks stop at multiple suppliers to collect parts. This system reduces workload in logistical operations and contributes to reduced environmental impact.
- 2. Mazda provides advice on joint subscription systems for product liability insurance, which reduces manufacturers' liability risks for parts.
- 3. Mazda provides information on third-party exhibitions and conventions to showcase the latest technologies and manufacturing methods.
- 4. Mazda ensures proper return of logistic pallets/containers at suppliers, based on the collaboration between purchasing and logistics related departments.
In-House Education to Ensure Fair Transactions
The following educational initiatives are conducted for those engaging in procurement operations in order to realize fair and equal transactions.
- ■ Participation in the "Seminar for the improvement of subcontracting transactions" hosted by the National Association of Trade Promotion for Small and Medium Enterprises
- ■ Administering comprehension tests on the Subcontractors Act
- ■ Education on financial control
- ■ Posting of guides and process rules regarding appropriate transactions on the Purchasing Division website on the Intranet

Deepak Kapoor, Chairman, PwC India
Innovation is not just about doing the same things in a different way but is about cultivating a mindset of identifying new opportunities and avenues to add value by being more efficient and effective.
Innovation can be at different scales and it is important for any organisation to recognise this and promote an innovative mindset as a part of the overall work culture including by suitably rewarding deserving teams and individuals.
At PwC, becoming the number 1 professional services organisation is a challenge we've taken up! To be consistently the best and achieve this goal, the need of the hour is innovation–simply put--thinking laterally, out-of-the-box and differently.
We recently conducted our first ever ideas contest with the theme of 'profitable growth'. The contest required staff to contribute ideas on how we can achieve profitable growth in this challenging economic environment, where they needed to think not only beyond their projects and teams but even beyond their competencies. The lucrative prizes on offer were hotly contested for and the overall response was phenomenal. The winning ideas are being implemented across the firm.
The business environment is evolving at a faster pace than ever before and our clients are always on the lookout for opportunities to be more efficient and profitable. This creates great opportunities for us if we are able to help them adopt newer ways of working, technologies or even methods of transformation. This requires us to continuously work towards developing new solutions to meet the evolving business needs of our clients. The focus should not be on cutting corners but on constantly monitoring upcoming trends and emerging technologies to stay ahead of the curve to be the distinctive professional services firm in our focus markets and sectors.

Last year, the Washington Post reported that Americans spent twice as much money on Halloween -- $7.4 billion – as on the 2014 federal elections.
$7.4 billion buys a lot of fright. Broader cultural implications of the spending comparison aside, it's a figure that speaks volumes about this holiday's grip on the American psyche.
Evolved from ancient Celtic tradition, Halloween's popularity has risen and fallen with the changing tides of popular culture. Whatever arguments the naysayers have mounted against it, Halloween has always prevailed. Because, truthfully, we don't just like it. We love it. Some might even say we need it, now more than ever.
