After a planning process of almost 1 ½ years, The University of North Carolina at Pembroke strategic plan was approved by the Board of Trustees on November 16, 2012. As we move into the implementation period, the Strategic Resource & Planning Council (SPARC) will continue to provide oversight while university Vice Chancellors have been charged with accomplishing the plan's objectives. SPARC encourages departments and units within the University to develop their own strategic plans and align those with the larger university one. A list of available plans from schools, departments and other units can be found here. Information to assist in these efforts is available from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness.
SPARC will review the plan in 2016 to determine if revisions are needed. If no revisions are needed at that time, the strategic planning process will begin again in 2019 in preparation for a new UNCP strategic plan to be approved in 2020.

Growth in Mature Economies: The First CEPR-Modena Conference
The 9-10 November 2012 conference in Modena was the first in a series of events aimed at sharing different ideas and perspectives on a key policy issue – what can stimulate sustained growth in economies that cannot simply add more capital or import technologies developed abroad? This is an important question not only in the short run, but also over the longer term and population ageing begins to affect these mature economies.
Understanding Banks in Emerging Markets: Observing, Asking or Experimenting?
Banking is often modelled as a black box, especially in emerging markets where details of bank operations are less widely appreciated. This VoxEU eBook brings together a collection of papers to help open up the black box.
Forward Guidance: Perspectives from Central Bankers, Scholars and Market Participants
This Vox eBook brings together a collection of contributions from central bank officials, researchers at universities and central banks, and financial market practitioners to discuss what economic theory says about forward guidance and to clarify what central banks hope to achieve with it.
Exit Strategy
Central banks have broken new ground in the aftermath of the Great Financial Crisis. They have brought interest rates down very close to the zero lower bound and have committed to keeping them there for an extended period of time. They have multiplied the sizes of their balance sheets several times over. Hopefully, the exceptional circumstances that led to these extraordinary measures will dissipate. Undoing extraordinary actions is bound to be out of the ordinary, and therefore fraught with difficulties, if not dangers. The exit strategy, as the pending operation is called, needs to be thought through with great care.
The Future of the World Trading System: Asian Perspectives
This VoxEU eBook, containing 19 essays from leading Asian and international trade experts, dissects important changes taking place in the world trading system and explores policy implications for Asia.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Mother Nature hasn't been giving people much time to dig out the proper clothes for the weather. But with 80-plus temperatures on Monday, some families were able to get the bathing suits out of storage and head to Green Lakes State Park, among other places.
And it wasn't just the water that was inviting. Golf conditions were also ideal. Or even just a nice stroll.
Whatever the activity, the great weather appears to have people thinking less about heading to a warm weather destination.
"The winter's been unbelievable. I didn't go to Florida this year. I was going to go, but decided not to at the last minute," Minoa resident Bob Kelty said.
"Gorgeous, gorgeous. Be nice if it was a little cooler. A little hot yet for me," Windsor resident Alan Ketcha said.
"Are you surprised you're complaining about it being hot in April?" our photographer asked.
Ketcha replied, "I'm not a hot weather person."
One golfer we caught up with offered up some wise words, saying any kind of weather is nice as long as there is some sun.

I see so much of that "without the ninja stuff it would be great" So do you want to just eliminate Storm Shadow? is he Too "ninja" for ya?
Anyway you put it, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow have been doing things that Superheros like superman and flash and all the others have been doing. Instead of Radioactive spiders, or other planets, The backstory is simply "they're Ninjas" and it works, especially with the RICH backstory Hama created with the Nam vets.
Like it or not, The Ninja parts are necessary to GIJOE. Will you say the same things in the flashback scenes in the Movie?!?! we'll have to wait and see, because they are much..MUCH worse than this was. I liked the take, and I dont think it was Ninja overload. Killing a HISS with a sword? THATS kinda dumb...Ill just say a chopper hit those HISS tanks..
Tombstone wrote:I agree with pbarny 100%. Its not like they couldn't figure out some reason for STorm Shadow fighting Snake Eyes. Just have Storm Shadow say, "This is CObra's final action, and I wanted to kill you personally!" Boom. Sold.
I also agree with Snake_Eyes1975 100%. Ninjas have had a solid standing in the Joeverse for decades. The important thing to remeber is that G.I. Joe is part military action, part futuristic science fiction, and part kung fu fantasy. Something for everyone!

SciFi book
Article posted May 27, 2012 at 07:56 PM GMT • comment • Reads 662
This quarter of Language Arts the book theme was SciFi. The book i chose was called Lunchbox and the Aliens. I chose this book in particular because i liked the description on the back of the cover. I loved this book a lot and my favorite part was when Mayor Thornhill was arrested. Why? One he is EVIL because he was bribing the garabage man wastrying to win an election too with the money. I would recommend this book to people who love funny stories because this one is hillarious and weird but funny events happen to a regular dog and his boy.

My favorite invention is the Soda Stream® which is practically a soda maker for home. This device makes my families life easier because we don't have to go to the store often and agree one flavor of soda. Also buying the flavoring is super cheap. One bottle of flavoring (50 liters) = $5. Who invented it? I don't know but I know it was invented in 1970/1980s and was popular in the UK. The Soda Stream has a slim figure look a little like a thin coffee machine with a oval button on top and a bottle that looks helium miniature helium bottle on the back.

I like many nonfiction article topics but my favorite topic is Marine Biology. Spefically I like the deep ocean that we Know little about. Why? I like the deep sea because it has the most amazing creatures that have adapted to their enviroment. Most of these creatures have adapted to their dark, cold, under pressure enviroment by using lights to mate and find prey. What do I know? Not much since scientist do not know much about this topic cause it is impossible for a human to survive the pressure of water above. I do know a few animals though such as the Deeep Sea Angler who uses a light dangling over its head as bait to catch its prey.
Marine Biology is the study of under water ecosystems. :)

Wonderopolis Wonder # 496 What Is QWERTY?
This wonder of the day you can tap on your key board and was no accident. Wonder # 496: What is QWERTY?
The QWERTY layout was invented by a guy named Christopher Sholes. In the 1860, Sholes began working on prototypes of the typewriter in his shop. The first commerial type writer Sholes made was designed for you to tap on a button and a bar (with the particular letter you chose) with ink on it would press against a long ribbon, leaving an impression of that letter. The problem was the most commonly used bars were next to each other creating jams. So, Sholes made it so the commonly use bars were spaced out to stop jamming. That's how QWERTY was born! We still have been using The QWERTY Layout for 3 cenutries and is universal. There are some words you must know in this artical; layout , universal and prototype. Layout means the way something is set up. Universial means every country on the earth uses that same thing and or in this case same format. Last, prototype means a primary type of some object that still needs improving.
My Thoughts on Poetry
Article posted February 22, 2012 at 03:33 PM GMT • comment • Reads 411
I think poetry is very cool because you can express the way you look at things in the easiest way possible. Many of my favorite poets include: Jack Prelutsky, Shel Silverstein and Christina Rossetti, (who is the author of Flint, one of my favorite poems). These poets are my favorites because Jack Prelutsky and Shel Silverstein make laugh from their hillarious poems while Chirstina Rossetti makes me think and is very inspiring, especially her poem Flint. I am very good at finding many poetic devices such as assonance, end rhyme, otomatopeoia, and personification. I am really good at using end rhyme, otomatopeoia, alliteration and assonance in poems I've created. My future poems will be for children who like poems with lots of rhyme and are short.

An emerald is as green as grass, A ruby red as blood; A sapphire shines as blue as heaven; A flint lies in the mud. A diamond is a brilliant stone, To catch the world's desire; An opal holds a fiery spark; But a flint holds fire.
I like this poem because it inspires me to think that maybe that the prettiest person is not the usefulest person.

Could you be royalty? Probably not. When kids think about royalty, kids usually think about Cinderella,Snow White or other fairy Princesses. On the other hand some kids think about real princesses like Princess Diana. Royalty
formed in medieval Europe centuries ago. What happened when a king died ? Well when a king dies his heirs would succeed him, usually according to the rules of inheritance of money and property. Other nobles would pass on their titles and positions to their heirs in a similar way. Not in every county people called a king a king. Here is a list of what kings are called in different countries.....
So could you be royalty? Probably not the odds are realy against you.
Wonder words :
hail- to bow and praise real enthusiastically
royalty- a person who has royal blood
territories- land separated in certain areas

Holland Traditions For Christmas
Holland has many tradions on their Christmas. Holland has a similar belief in Santa Claus except their Santa is called Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas journeys in a boat to Holland with his elf named Black Peter. On December 5th or in Holland Known as Sinterklaas Eve presents are exchanged. Where Does SinterKlaas live? If you asked any child that question they would of course say Mexico. I think that Holland's Christmas is cool and I think I would enjoy celeabrating their christmas.
Revelutionary War Novel Book Review
Article posted November 29, 2011 at 08:28 PM GMT • comment • Reads 933
My revelutionary war book is Geoge Washington Spymaster. I really like this book because it has high vocabulary and just right near my lexile score.
So far in my book George Washington and other spies have formed a spy ring to help the Americans win the revelutionary. To do this Geoge Washington has formed a code with a fellow spy named Tallomadge. There is one problem with writing to other spies which is British or Red Coats can capture american spy letters and read american secret attacks. Not a problem. Jay James (part of the Culper Ring) makes an invisible ink that can only be read if coated with a chemical.The first part of this book talks about men spies, what about the women spies? There were many women spies. This book ends with a spy vs spy batttle with the Americans combimed with the French soldier against the British which is 17000 vs 8000. I liked how at the end the American/French captured the British soldiers and General Cornwallis surendered.
You might want to read this book if you like reading history books about the revelutionary war.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
July 1, 2009 Plugging Holes Southeast Division
by Gabriel Desjardins and Richard Pollock
(Note: The following are moves that should be done or should have been done to benefit each particular team this offseason. These are not predictions of what moves will be done.)
Plugging Holes: Washington Capitals
The Hole: Second-Line Forward
Many people may think the Capitals' biggest need is on the back end. While true, that problem is best addressed within the system. With the expected development of future top-four blueliners Karl Alzner and John Carlson, the Capitals are actually better off on defense than most would think. Combine that future depth on the back end with the young goaltending tandem of Simeon Varlamov and Michal Neuvirth, and Washington's most significant needs might actually be up front, especially considering the expected departures of Sergei Fedorov and Viktor Kozlov back to Russia.
The Fix: Sign F Nik Antropov (UFA, Rangers)
Antropov came to the NHL as a natural center, and while he has played wing for a large portion of his career, his ability to play up the middle would be a nice help in Washington. Last season, Antropov split time between the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers, recording a GVT of 7.8; which would have placed Antropov fifth on the Capitals last season. Even though the Capitals were strong offensively as a team in terms of GVT (15.8 at five-on-five and 21.1 on the power play), the group of Backstrom, Semin and Ovechkin would be greatly benefitted by adding the pending UFA Antropov's skill set (28 goals in 81 games last season).
For ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek's take on the Washington Capitals, click here.
Plugging Holes: Carolina Hurricanes
The Hole(s): Power Wing
The Hurricanes certainly exceeded expectations in 2008-09 with a run all the way to the Eastern Conference finals. However, even with so much success, the team has specific areas that need improvement -- mainly, a big-scoring winger. The Hurricanes' forwards registered a minus-3.3 GVT (Goals Versus Threshold) last season at even strength -- that was fifth-worst in the Eastern Conference. Even if Erik Cole does re-sign in Carolina this summer (as expected), the team could still use some size and scoring on the wings.
The Fix: Sign F Mike Knuble (UFA, Flyers)
While the Flyers would probably like to re-sign Mike Knuble, the team's salary situation ($53 million invested already in next season's cap hit) leaves little room to invest any more money in its forwards. This cap trouble should allow for the Hurricanes to jump in and sign the 35-year-old winger. Last season, Knuble registered 27 goals (11 on the power play) and 20 assists in 82 games played. In fact, Knuble has played 82 games in three of his past four seasons. The veteran winger can play at even-strength, on the power play and kill penalties. For a team that had only one natural winger (Ray Whitney) with a GVT above 5.1, Knuble's 2008/09 GVT of 7.4 should fit in quite well.

Plugging Holes: Florida Panthers
The Hole: Defenseman
What was the Florida Panthers' greatest strength last season may very well be its biggest weakness in 2009-10. Unless Jay Bouwmeester stuns the hockey world and stays in Florida, the Panthers are going to have to replace 25-plus minutes of All-Star defensive play on the back end. With Tomas Vokoun between the pipes, and a nice core of young forwards, Florida is going to need to move swiftly in order to replace Bouwmeester's myriad of skills. Considering the Panthers had the second-worst even strength defensive GVT (-26.2) with Bouwmeester, it is scary to think how this defensive group is going to struggle without his services.
The Fix: Sign D Greg Zanon (UFA, Predators)
Most expect it to be difficult for the rebuilding Panthers to sign a high-profile veteran free agent defenseman. As a result, targeting an effective player under 30 is probably the team's best opportunity to improve. In Zanon, the Panthers would be getting an underrated defenseman who was overshadowed by the likes of Shea Weber, Dan Hamhuis and Ryan Suter in Nashville. Zanon is very physical (second on team in hits), blocks shots (first on team) and has good on-ice awareness. In fact, his GVT in 2008/09 was 5.3 -- an impressive number for a defensive defenseman (ahead of fellow defenders Chris Phillips 3.4, Robyn Regehr 2.1 and Mike Komisarek 0.7) and top ten overall on his own team.
For ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek's take on the Florida Panthers, click here.
Plugging Holes: Atlanta Thrashers
The Hole: No. 1 Defenseman
Atlanta, believe it or not, was seventh in the league in goals scored -- thanks to a very high shooting percentage typical of an Ilya Kovalchuk team -- while they were second to last in goals allowed. We might expect some regression on the goal-scoring side, but there's little hope for pulling the defense out of the league's basement without help. The only thing that kept them from allowing 300 goals was the goaltending of restricted free agent Kari Lehtonen, who has saved them more than 40 goals compared to an average goaltender over the last two seasons.
The Fix: Sign D Jay Bouwmeester (UFA, Panthers)
Loyal Thrashers fans will agree with me: Now is not the time for a losing team in a nontraditional market to sell its assets. Unless they want to go the way of the Coyotes, Atlanta needs to get serious about filling its unused cap space -- and the unused seats in Philips Arena. Ultimately that means a long-term contract for Kovalchuk, but they need to show him a commitment to winning first.
After they pick up an offensive talent with the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, what better way to keep going than to sign the biggest name on this year's free-agent market? Bouwmeester did it all in Florida, leading his team in even-strength, power-play and penalty-killing minutes and facing the toughest offensive opposition year after year. This season, he was on the ice 63 percent of the time in the last two minutes of close games, No. 2 in the league behind Scott Niedermayer and ahead of Norris Trophy nominees Nicklas Lidstrom and Zdeno Chara. On top of all that, at age 25, Bouwmeester could easily maintain this level of performance all the way through a seven- or eight-year contract. In the short term, the boost in GVT also helps Atlanta make up most of the eight extra wins they needed to make the playoffs this season.
For ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek's take on the Atlanta Thrashers, click here.
Plugging Holes: Tampa Bay Lightning
The Hole: Defense
Tampa finds itself in a difficult situation. It has a bad team, but with the Islanders selecting Victor Hedman (in our scenario), they get John Tavares in the draft.
Normally a No. 2 pick -- think Evgeni Malkin, Eric Staal, Dany Heatley, Jason Spezza -- fills one of the many holes on the 29th-best team in the league. However, Tampa already has two offensive centers in Vincent Lecavalier and Steven Stamkos, who have huge upsides and give general managers nightmares when they think about trading them away. (Of course, the seven years and $54 million left on Lecavalier's contract is a nightmare in its own right.) None of this points to a solution for a defensive corps that was 23rd in even-strength shots per game, 29th in power plays allowed, and 18th in shorthanded shots allowed. Some of that can be blamed on injuries to every top defenseman they had, forcing Tampa to use 18 D-men during the season, but even in the best of all possible worlds, the Lightning couldn't dress seven NHL-caliber defensemen if their lives depended on it.
The Fix: Sign F Karlis Skrastins (UFA, Florida)
First of all, improving the defense from the bottom of the league to near the middle doesn't require anything rash. Lukas Krajicek is a restricted free agent and should be brought back on a long-term deal. Andrej Meszaros and Paul Ranger are young and have been reasonably healthy in the past, so they won't likely miss half the season again, and Tampa has a huge number of defensemen under age 23, many of whom were high draft picks who need to shake out. Skrastins takes the pressure off the player-development process. He has played on the penalty kill everywhere he's been and has been Jay Bouwmeester's defensive partner against other teams' top lines since he came over from Colorado.
Skrastins' +2.5 Defensive GVT would also rank him third among the entire Tampa Bay roster, with only Martin St. Louis (+ 4.6 Defensive GVT) and Ryan Malone (+ 3.4 Defensive GVT) faring better than the former Panther.

Comments about CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adapter:
I have a 50oz camelbak fanny pack which works well in fall & winter but as the weather gets hotter I need to pack more water. A 32oz camelbak water bottle with this adapter is perfect
Best Uses
Comments about CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adapter:
I walked into a sporting goods store and found this item. It was just what I was looking for. As an umpire for youth softball games the ablility to have a source of hydration near by is essential. However where or how do you carry enough water without becoming an obstruction in the field of play? Solution was met with this adapter, I can hang a water bottle outside of the fence and still access the water when I need a drink without having to enter a team dugout and weaving in and out of players entering or leaving the area. This makes it look professional and keeping the water bottle out of the play. I have heard of people using a pack on the fence but it may obscure a fans view. I would encourage the use of this item when hands need to be free. I occationally hike short treks and a water bottle will meet my needs. A bottle packed in my waist pack will keep my hands free.
Best Uses
Comments about CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adapter:
I do a lot of desert hiking, and I have a real problem with hydration packs: I can't really tell how my water supply is holding out. I have had a few occasions where I have consumed far more water than I thought I had used, and it had become a constant frustration on longer hikes.
I use this tube and several one-liter bottles on longer desert hikes, where I may be away from water for several hours at a time. The advantage is that I know whenever I go through a liter of water, so I always have a pretty good idea of where my water supply stands. It works much better for me than a hydration bladder, and I no longer find myself running short before I get to my next water stop.

Comments about CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adapter:
I've only been after Camelbak about this for two years....I am glad to see it finally make it into production. It allows me to use the Camelbak bottles and not have to bring them directly to my lips.
(Yeah I know you might say: "why not just wear a camelbak ?", but while doing paddle sports, having that on my back and the straps over my shoulders can be uncomfortable and unbalanced...the bottle with the hose is a better solution. I had built a couple of my own...but without a valve to let air in...it doesn't work well. THIS IS THE solution !)
The only thing that would make it better is if the connection to the bottle were a little more secure (i.e. screw in).
Overall I am very happy with what they have done.

"Watch out, we have a civilian thief," he called to the sutlers.
Moments earlier, a replica Civil War saber and rare Colt revolver were stolen out of the tent of Bob Hutchison, an Altoona re-enactor who portrays a Union officer at Gettysburg.
The revolver, worth several hundred dollars, was a replica of an 1850s model and crafted in Italy. It's unique for the octagonal barrel, Hutchison said. Most pistols have a round barrel.
The thief, identified by Coe as a "civilian in a floppy-brimmed hat," also stole an officer's belt containing a replica saber and owned by Hutchison, who estimates the items are worth nearly $800.
"There's the financial loss and the idea that they took something I can't replace," Hutchison said.
The theft occurred following the re-enactment of a cavalry battle Saturday at 11 a.m. Immediately after the theft, re-enactors spread out into the crowd of thousands of tourists in search of the stolen items.
"The problem is the size of the crowd," Hutchison said during the search. "They could be anywhere."
He was stationed at the entrance gate, watching for the stolen items as visitors left. Others fanned out into the parking lot and the grandstand area.
Re-enactors were outraged by the theft and several said it was the first time equipment had been stolen from a tent at the Annual Gettysburg Civil War Battle Re-enactment, located this year north of Gettysburg on Table Rock Road.
Re-enactors are often equipped with uniforms and weapons worth hundreds of dollars. Replica Civil War gear is expensive and re-enactors spend years collecting pieces to appear authentic.
Still, thefts are rare. The campsites are almost always occupied and re-enactors protect each other's belongings.
"This is the worst-case scenario," Coe said.

Riding Solo
PHOTO: Ben Ingham
I'd been warned the racing season was a long one. While everyone is keen in March and April, July and August weigh heavy on the heart. Speed builds and disappears. Some great races make way for those where the peloton disappears up the road and you're left suffering the indignity of abandoned finish lines and last place results.
By July I'd found a deep love for speeds I once shirked from, gradients once dreaded grew into adrenaline-fueled rivalries, me and my machine against the hill. But for every race, some of the fire disappeared. I wasn't going to win. I wasn't even going to podium. I felt a small sense of accomplishment for each race where I didn't get dropped from the pack. But even that felt insignificant and somewhat futile.
I'd been counting down to July for months, aware my better half would disappear to race on the Continent and then ride in the Rockies for two months. His sabbatical was my romantic purgatory. So as midsummer flooded in upon me, I wasn't expecting the one thing which gave me strength and kept me focused to disappear as well.
Here, after 12 months of punishing turbo sessions, monastic avoidance of cheese, alcohol and desserts, early morning training sessions in angry rain, all I wanted was to be alone with the road again. No distracting goals or benchmarks or heart rates or personal bests. Something solitary. Something meandering and wild. Something profoundly calm and at ease with the world around it.
To paraphrase the new-age pundits, racing wasn't going to help me find my centre. It might get me fit, it might give me goals, new friends, new found confidence. But racing wasn't going to make me a better person. At least no better than I already was. I hadn't started racing because I wanted it to change my life but nonetheless, by July I was changed. There was no going back but racing itself wasn't going to do much more for me at that moment. There is no nirvana in a bunch sprint.
I wanted to eat croissants and gelato by the side of the road. I wanted espresso for the beans not the adrenaline kick at a start line. I wanted to descend around narrow hairpin bends with loose arms to avoid dropping off the cliff face on the other side, rather than the tarmac of the circuit. I wanted to believe in romance and the fate found in unnaturally small bottles of foreign colas.
Some call this burnout. I prefer to think of it as a recharging. As the kind of girl who does things all-or-nothing, I suffer the inability to find continued balance in my life. If not impossible, balance certainly feels unnatural.
I didn't stop racing in July and August. But I did stop worrying about it. I even stopped training. Conveniently forgetting my Polar strap and too lazy to put it on before leaving the house, I'd ride without numbers. Buttery pastries and fine-roasted coffee replaced energy bars and caffeine gels. I went off-road for the first time. I broke a chain and didn't get it properly fixed for a couple weeks. I even raced on said chain. It just didn't matter; I just rode. I let the loneliness of the hills seep into my bones again.
And as soon as I let go, I found my strength again. Without the competition. Without the rush. Without the red mist. Riding solo.

Look at the view.
See another hill 'over there…'. Ride to the hill. Repeat.

exactly how I felt this year, the first half of the season was racing only and suddenly I was tired of BPMs, gels, bars, keep the rear wheel, up another hill and I simply slowed down and went touring the Swiss Alps…

Amazon has topped yet another usability survey after delivering a consistently excellent customer experience across its desktop and mobile platforms.
House of Fraser came a close second followed by Marks & Spencer, Debenhams and Interflora.
The report from eDigitalResearch consists of user surveys that analysed the customer experience provided by 19 retail brands across three digital channels – desktop, mobile web and apps.
It covered six different sections of each site, including the homepage, search, navigation, product pages, shopping basket and checkout.

Around this time last year I wrote a post looking at which of the top 10 UK retailers use Pinterest.
Back then Pinterest was the new kid on the block with bags of potential for building brand identity and driving sales.
To find out whether those brands have persisted with Pinterest or decided the grass is greener over on Google+, I've revisited the same retailers to see whether they still use the network and how their strategies have altered.
The findings are below, but for more information on this topic check out our Pinterest for Business Report or our blog post on how the top 10 US retailers use Pinterest...

Over the past year I've downloaded several retail apps on my Android smartphone, mainly for the purpose of reviewing them for the blog.
Apps from John Lewis, Debenhams, Argos and Tesco have all remained on my phone as I have no pressing need to delete them, meaning I'm a sitting target for messages about offers and discounts.
However as far as I can remember, only Debenhams has taken the opportunity to send me any marketing messages, which appears to be a missed opportunity for the other brands.
Adobe recently conducted a survey that asked 1,003 UK consumers about the features they most looked for in smartphone apps – 67% of respondents rated money saving offers as the most important feature.

To celebrate the launch of our new digital marketing and ecommerce awards, #TheDigitals, I've rounded up six brilliant examples of innovation in mobile.
It follows a recent post that flagged up five great examples of social media marketing excellence.
To avoid any accusations of bias, these are all examples that fall outside the eligibility period for the current awards, but give an idea of the sort of thing we are looking for.
#TheDigitals are the new awards that recognise the best in digital marketing and ecommerce. Award entries must be submitted online before the deadline March 13, 2013.

A recent survey into the functions that consumers most want to see in smartphone apps found that, aside from money saving offers, people value the ability to locate physical stores and to purchase items directly from the app.
Though the research, commissioned by Adobe, was a closed question so respondents were restricted in what they could answer, it highlights the local intent associated with activities on a smartphone.
To find out whether the UK's top retailers are catering to this need, I tried out four shopping apps on Android to see how easy it is to find store location and contact details...

Debenhams announced today that it will be providing free wi-fi in partnership with O2, in all of its 167 stores.
The wi-fi coverage will allow customers to access information about products, view reviews, order out of stock items, and receive discount vouchers straight to their mobiles.
This is a smart move from Debenhams, and one which addresses the threat of mobile use in store and turns it to the retailer's advantage.

Statistics from Debenhams provide further evidence of the value of mobile commerce to retailers, with its iPhone app bringing in £1m in sales in five months.

While M&S and John Lewis went for mobile websites, Debenhams released a mobile commerce app for iPhone last week, thanks to the volume of visits to the main site from iPhone users.
The app also features a barcode scanner, the first used by a high street retailer, which should make the app useful for researching products and prices offline.

Panthers roll 52-15 at Harlan
HARLAN — Creston/Orient-Macksburg knocked a team from the unbeaten ranks with a decisive 52-15 victory over Harlan Thursday night.
Despite a lineup missing two varsity regulars, the Panthers won 11 of the 14 matches, picking up bonus points in eight of them, including falls by Tayler Pettit, Keaton Hulett, Gage Cheers and Zack Peppmeier. The Cyclones forfeited to three-time state champion Jake Marlin at 145 pounds.
Harlan fell out of a share of first place in the Hawkeye 10, dropping to 3-1 in the conference and 8-1 overall. Creston/O-M improved to 4-1 and 7-1. League leaders are Glenwood (5-0) and Lewis Central (2-0).

$52,000 Diamond Dog Collar for Valentine's Day
Dog-Power is offering a hand-crafted PetSafe diamond dog collar created by jewelry designer RenaMary. For those who want to dress their pets like royalty but still let them live an outdoor lifestyle this collar is for you. PetSafe underground fencing keeps your dog secure in your backyard and the price of the collar includes installation of the PetSafe system at your home.
The collar itself has a connecting heart motif which the designer felt represents the loving bond between an owner and their dog. In terms of the particulars the collar consists of over 18 carats of brilliant round cut diamonds of F/G color and VS1 clarity set in 18kt white gold and is 15 inches in length and 1 inch in width. Should you decide to purchase the collar it will be hand delivered to your home by Dog-Power owner Cherie Corso and creator RenaMary. Your pet will also will receive the bonus of being given a personal dog trainer and being named 2010 Pet of the Year.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the North Shore Animal League, the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization, located in Long Island, New York.
A point of consideration maybe the necessity to own a second dog, perhaps a German Shepherd or Rottweiler, to keep an eye on the pampered pup who is wearing such a valuable collar around the backyard!
