Centennial Commons
The grounds of Centennial Commons, 2012
Centennial Commons is a new upperclassmen housing unit at the College of St. Benedict, located on the corner of Calloway Street and College Avenue. The complex consists of five buildings. Four of these buildings house students with 32 students living in each one. The fifth building is the Commons building. Each unit has two full baths, laundry facilities, full kitchen with dining space, living room, storage space and shared front porches.
The Centennial Commons community emphasizes sustainability, and each unit receives a statement for their water, gas and electrical use to help residents understand their actual usage of such resources. Another aspect of sustainability for the Centennial Commons is the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification that all five buildings received in January of 2013. The complex was designed with the hopes that it would receive the silver level award, but in early 2013 the complex received the Platinum level award. Centennial Commons is the first student housing complex in Minnesota to receive such recognition and is the first building on the College of St. Benedict's campus to be awarded any level of LEED certification.
The new complex cost $9.2 million, a figure which reflects building costs and furnishings. Ground was broken on October 7, 2011 and completed in mid-August, 2012. The dedication ceremony for the buildings was held on September 28, 2012. Centennial Commons is named after the upcoming CSB centennial during the 2013-2014 academic year. The Idzerda Community Center within Centennial Commons is named after Dr. Stanley Idzerda, CSB's first non-monastic president. The four residential buildings in the Centennial Commons are named after four members of the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict. These Benedictine sisters have had an impact on the development of CSB:
- S. Cecilia Kapsner, OSB, prioress of the monastery when the college was founded in 1913, who served as CSB's first president;
- S. Mary David Olheiser, OSB, who established CSB's elementary education major and served as first vice president of Academic Affairs;
- S. Mary Anthony Wagner, OSB, one of the first women to earn a doctoral degree in theology, who was instrumental in the establishment of the Benedictine Institute of Sacred Theology, which eventually became the graduate School of Theology•Seminary at Saint John's University;
- S. Lois Wedl, professor alumna of education, past residence hall director and current resident of Margretta Hall. She is perhaps best known as the Blazers No. 1 sports fan.

Gastrointestinal experts call it food intolerance, and it's increasingly an issue. Some estimate that 10 to 25 percent of Americans have a sensitivity to at least one food, while others say the prevalence is much higher.
"Percentages are only guesstimates at this point," explains Steven M. Dandalides, M.D., a spokesperson for the American College of Gastroenterology and an assistant clinical professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk. "Judging by the number of people who come to see us, this seems to be a common problem."
When seemingly good foods are sidelined, it's hard not to question whether food intolerance is really a problem of the gut or simply an excuse for picky eaters. New research points to just how common it is -- and how to cope if you're diagnosed.
Intolerance Versus Allergies
To understand what food intolerance is, you first have to understand how it differs from allergies. An allergy is an immune-system response in which your body mistakes a certain food for a harmful invader and creates antibodies to fight it.
Symptoms can be mild or life-threatening -- from nausea and hives to shortness of breath and anaphylaxis -- and tend to come on immediately. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, only 3 to 4 percent of adults in the U.S. have a true food allergy.
Unlike an allergy, a food intolerance is a response from the gastrointestinal system. When certain foods are poorly absorbed from the intestines into the bloodstream, the result can be symptoms like gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, nausea, or abdominal pain one-half to eight hours after consumption.
Another big difference: Food intolerances are often but not always dose dependent. This means that even if you're predisposed to intolerance for a food, you can likely eat a certain amount of it without experiencing an unpleasant GI reaction -- and that dose varies by individual.
Another misconception: You don't necessarily have an intolerance if you get gassy and bloated after drinking milk or eating pasta. (Though these days, having a food intolerance seems almost fashionable.) You'll need to see a medical professional to determine whether you really have a food sensitivity, and if you eliminate suspect foods without seeing a doctor, you'll likely miss out on vital nutrients.
"If you're not gluten intolerant, a gluten-free diet is not healthier," stresses Stefano Guandalini, M.D., a food-intolerance specialist who is director of the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center. Restricting your diet unnecessarily can keep you from getting an accurate diagnosis of a more serious condition.
Why the Rise?
There's been a great deal more food-intolerance research in Europe than in the U.S., yet the cause is still somewhat mysterious. There are a couple of respected hypotheses: One is that as we evolved from hunter-gatherers and began eating foods we produced ourselves, such as wheat and cow's milk, some of us weren't able to adapt and developed intolerances.
Other experts say that the food we eat today is too "clean."
"We don't get exposed to good bacteria found in places like soil anymore," says Scot Lewey, D.O., a Colorado Springs gastroenterologist and fellow at the American College of Gastroenterology.
Chemicals purify our water; we don't eat fresh-picked produce; our meat has been dosed with antibiotics to keep it disease-free. Plus, we're now more likely to consume commercially processed multi-ingredient foods, increasing the number of potential irritants.
Anxiety and poor lifestyle habits can also take a toll on your GI tract.
According to the American College of Gastroenterology, the primary intolerance culprits are foods containing lactose, gluten, and fructose. Here's how they all break down. If one of these descriptions resonates with you, you might want to make a doctor's appointment.
- Lactose Intolerance
- Gluten Intolerance
- Fructose Intolerance
- Food-Additive Sensitivities
- Recipes and Resources
Dairy products give an estimated 30 million to 50 million Americans gas, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, or cramps. By far the most common food sensitivity, lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestines don't produce enough lactase, the enzyme that helps the body digest lactose, the sugar in milk products.
There's a generally accepted evolutionary theory to back it up: Before the advent of dairy processing, most humans never drank milk after being weaned, and so some people's GI tracts didn't bother to make much lactase postchildhood -- which explains why most sufferers develop symptoms as adults.
How Do You Know You Have It?
Your doctor can administer a breath test, because undigested lactose produces detectable hydrogen, but experts agree that the best way to tell if you're lactose intolerant is with a supervised elimination diet. Avoid milk and dairy -- including ice cream and cheese -- for several weeks. If symptoms abate, your M.D. or R.D. will ask you to rechallenge your GI system with a lactose food. If symptoms return, you're most likely intolerant.
How to Cope
No other food offers the nutritional bonanza found in milk products, which contain calcium, vitamin D (when fortified), protein, potassium, and magnesium. Fortunately, you can have your milk and drink it, too.
Switch to low- or no-lactose dairy. Opt for milk that contains no lactose but still meets 25 to 30 percent of your daily needs for calcium and vitamin D. Buttermilk, aged and hard cheeses, and goat's milk have less lactose than cow's milk and are easier to digest. Soy milk, too, can be a healthy substitute. (For a treat, try this Cappuccino Swirl Shake made with almond milk.)
Pop a supplement. A lactase-enzyme supplement, taken with your first sip or bite of dairy, can help your system digest the lactose.
Consume dairy with meals. The National Institutes of Health says that most people can drink half a cup of milk without experiencing nasty GI symptoms, particularly when it's consumed at meals or alongside other foods.
Try yogurt and kefir. This sounds counterintuitive, since both are lactose-containing dairy products. But studies have shown that the probiotic cultures in these foods help break down lactose and, consequently, aid the digestion of the lactose in the yogurt and kefir.
Gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and triticale, is used by grain to grow and reproduce. It's what gives dough its elasticity and allows it to rise. But even foods that aren't bakery products, such as ice cream or ketchup, can contain small amounts of gluten, which is often used as a thickener.
For the intolerant, gluten can set off some really icky GI symptoms within minutes or hours of ingestion; some sufferers even report depression and brain fog.
These symptoms should in no way be confused with celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder. When someone with celiac eats even the tiniest amount of gluten, the immune system attacks the small intestine and prevents absorption of vital nutrients, which may lead to malnutrition. Unlike celiac sufferers, the gluten-sensitive can tolerate small doses.
How Do You Know You Have It?
It's not a good idea to forgo gluten if you don't need to. Whole grains, like wheat and rye, are excellent sources of complex carbs, fiber, potassium, and magnesium. If you suspect you have gluten sensitivity, first rule out celiac disease, which can be diagnosed with a blood test and intestinal-lining biopsy. (There's no specific medical test for gluten sensitivity.) Eat as you normally would before you visit your doctor; you'll need some gluten in your system so the tests can detect celiac if you have it. If the test is negative, your doctor will recommend an elimination-reintroduction diet. (Learn more about going gluten-free here.)
How to Cope
For the gluten-sensitive, simply eliminating some major sources should relieve symptoms. There are also several cookbooks that cater to the gluten-free crowd.
Scrutinize labels. Watch for these gluten synonyms: barley, malt or malt flavoring, malt vinegar, rye, triticale, wheat, durum, graham, Kamut, semolina, spelt, modified food starch, caramel, and flavor enhancers.
Get creative with whole grains. Substitute traditional breads, pastas, and cereals with gluten-free grains and plant products, like rice, corn, soy, potato, tapioca, beans, quinoa, millet, and buckwheat substitutes. (Get healthier grain recipes, many of them gluten-free, here.)
Say "cheers" with wine or hard liquor. Avoid beer, ale, lager, and other malt beverages made from wheat or barley.
Try probiotics. "Pretreating with lactobacillus and acidophilus may make gluten less toxic," Lewey says. If you're concerned about accidentally consuming gluten, take these probiotics before eating. It could be helpful.
Fructose is a sugar found naturally in just a few foods, primarily fruits. It's also a major component in table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. The term "fructose intolerance" is used to describe two very different conditions. The first is hereditary fructose intolerance (usually diagnosed in childhood), a rare genetic disorder in which the enzyme that breaks down fructose is missing.
More common and much less serious is dietary fructose intolerance -- an inadequate ability to digest fructose that causes abdominal cramping, gas, bloating, burping, and diarrhea -- which experts say is on the rise because of our sweets-guzzling culture.
How Do You Know You Have It?
You can try an elimination diet, or take a breath test. If you've been diagnosed with or suspect you have irritable bowel syndrome, you may want to ask your doctor about fructose intolerance. In a Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology study, one-third of the participants with IBS tested positive for it.
How to Cope
Forgo foods and drinks sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, fruit juice, honey, and agave.
Eat one fruit serving at a time along with other foods. According to a 2006 study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, people who staggered fruit consumption throughout the day experienced far fewer gastrointestinal symptoms. The ADA also recommended that fruit be eaten at meals, which enhances absorption.
Opt for stone fruits, berries, citrus, bananas, kiwi, passion fruit, pineapple, and rhubarb. These fruits contain equal amounts of fructose and another sugar called glucose, which makes them easier to digest, according to the ADA.
Watch out for foods with artificial sweeteners. Diet foods, beverages, and gums are sweetened with sugars (such as sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol) that your GI tract can't absorb well whether you have fructose intolerance or not. Eat them only occasionally.
Quit gobbling. By consuming your food slowly, you won't overload the small bowel, Lewey advises. Whether you have food intolerance or not, slowing down and paying attention to what you eat is the basis of good digestion. You're never going to diagnose -- much less fix -- anything until you make the time to start listening to your body. "Eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, meditate, exercise daily, and take a holiday from technology," Lewey says. Good advice for all of us.

Ion (Romania) (2 Albums, 6 Tracks)
Both a conceptual artist and a performer, when it comes to live shows, to music and music production, Ion is guaranteed to conquer your full attention the same way a good dancer would. He's delicate and determined. He doesn't know where the road goes but he'll drive you gently in an ambient spawned by classical music, blues, 60′s rock, all that immersed in electronic soundscapes with dub, tehno and a little bit of disco as hints for where his music can be integrated.
A persevering self taught artist, Ion based himself on the bass on almost all his works that have been released at Patpong and DubKraft Records. He loves experimenting in his "n-am studio". He plays, in the ludic sense of the verb, various instruments in a psy-rock band, goes on field recording trips and one time he surprised all of us with a loving investigation of Romania's most important medium before the RO revolution: the radio. What he did was to perform a live session of radio wave manipulation, sampling and filtering, completely avoiding the FM range. Noise and trance on air!
In the Minus&Ion project, the first one is in charge of the effects and percussion. The second one plays a bass guitar and the added distortion. The mixture is decisive and powerful. Ion's guitar gimmicks give the music its driving edge and groove while Minus's percussive layering builds a rhythmical framework in which you can't wait to test your dancing routine. It doesn't sound like Minus's usual music and it doesn't sound like Ion's. Their added sound comes from another dimension – an improvised hybrid intended to make your body move.

SLU dedicating renovated athletics facilities
CANTON - Dedications of renovated athletics facilities at St. Lawrence University will be held during Family Weekend, on Friday and Saturday, October 1 and 2.
North Country Field, the artificial-turf field used primarily for field hockey and lacrosse, will be dedicated on Friday, October 1, following the St. Lawrence versus Hamilton field hockey game. Also, two long-time University coaches, Dotty Hall and Don Leet, will be honored with the naming of the stadium as Hall-Leet Stadium.On Saturday, October 2, the upgraded and modernized Stratford Football Locker Room will be dedicated, memorializing the late Ted "Bear" Stratford '57, who successfully coached the football team to 64 victories over 10 years in the 1960s and 1970s.
All of the construction for the projects was financed through gifts and grants.
In addition to replacement of the turf on North Country Field, that project includes a new stadium entrance, a pair of stone-and-brick gates, and a fencing system.
Hall, professor emerita of sport and leisure studies, began her coaching and teaching career at St. Lawrence in 1966, serving continuously until her retirement in 2000. She was chair of the women's athletic department from 1968 until the women's and men's programs merged in 1974, serving from then until she announced her retirement as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) women's senior administrator. She coached field hockey, women's tennis and women's lacrosse, and is a member of the St. Lawrence Athletic Hall of Fame. Hall is the author of the 2007 book Women's Sports at St. Lawrence University: From Beginnings to Title IX.
Leet's coaching career spanned nearly 30 years, with 251 career victories in lacrosse and participation in eight NCAA tournaments. He was the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Man of the Year for 1997 and the 1979 NCAA Coach of the Year. Leet was only the third Division III coach in history to be the head coach of the North-South Game. A member of the St. Lawrence Athletic Hall of Fame, he produced 35 All-Americans in lacrosse and coached three as defensive line coach in football.
Athletic Director Margie Strait said, "We are grateful for the support from alumni, parents and friends that made the upgrades to our facilities possible. Our student athletes and our coaches will benefit, and the improvements will assist in our recruiting, as well
" The new football locker room features renovated facilities; new lockers for each player; distinct simultaneous meeting spaces for both offensive and defensive units; better air handling and circulation; and more overall space.
Stratford earned his bachelor's degree from St. Lawrence in 1957 and a master's degree from the University in 1964. He played football at St. Lawrence and returned to his alma mater as head wrestling coach in 1967, becoming head football coach in 1969. He established the St. Lawrence record for football coaching victories during a 10-season career, compiling a 64-25 career record; his 1976 team won the first NCAA playoff game in St. Lawrence football history. As wrestling coach, he took the 1970 and 1971 teams to ICAC championships and a 16-3 record in dual meets. After retiring from coaching, he was a middle-school science teacher and coach in Saranac Lake, N.Y., until his death in December 2006. Stratford also is a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- An animated show based on DreamWorks' upcoming film "Turbo" will be the first Netflix Original Series for kids, the U.S. companies said Tuesday.
The "Turbo" film is set for release July 19, while the show will premiere on Netflix in December.
"Families love Netflix, so creating an original series for kids was a natural for us. And we're doing it in a big way by adapting 'Turbo,' this year's DreamWorks Animation summer tent-pole movie," Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement Tuesday.
"DreamWorks Animation has a long track record of creating incredibly successful characters and stories that delight people of all ages. We're thrilled to add 'Turbo' the series as well as all new DreamWorks Animation films, starting with their 2013 slate, to Netflix."
"Netflix boasts one of the largest and fastest-growing audiences in kids television. They pioneered a new model for TV dramas with 'House of Cards,' and now together, we're doing the same thing with kids' programming," said DreamWorks Animation's Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Katzenberg. "DreamWorks is thrilled to be part of the television revolution."
"Turbo" is described in a synopsis as "a high velocity 3D comedy about an ordinary snail who dares to dream big -- and fast." It features the voice talents of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzman, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Kurtwood Smith, Snoop Lion and Samuel L. Jackson.

Joel Schumacher
Joel Schumacher (born August 29, 1939) is an oscar-worthy film director. He is best known for the universally acclaimed Batman and Robin.
Schumacher was spawned on the day the music died. As his mother was consistantly paranoid, she usually walked around in a twenty-three piece suit of leather armour, with exposed nipples to allow breastfeeding. Although very young, this image would stay in Schumacher's mind for the rest of his life, and creep into many of his masterpieces. As a young man on the run for apparently killing Colin Farrell, his fixation with leather led him into a biker gang of marauding vampires. Staking the leader twenty three times with one of Arnold Schwartzenegger's icicles, he assumed leadership of the gang and was granted immortality.
As an adult, he met producer Lilly Tomlin, who immediately recognised his potential. From then on, Schumacher embarked on a long and succesful career. His credits include The Lost boys, The Number 23 and Phonebooth, all loosely based on his childhood. In 1995, when gothic director and total badass Tim Burton was fired from directing Batman, as his interpretations were too violent and dark for a young demographic, Schumacher was hired to direct the third film, Batman Forever.
Batman Forever[edit]
In a career defining move, Schumacher boarded the franchise with enthusiasm. Val Kilmer starred as the titular Batman, while Tommy Lee Jones, despite not receiving skin grafts from his recent facial injury, bravely decided to step up and play the part of Robin. Jim Carrey was cast as himself, turning up on the first day of the shoot in green spandex and a ginger wig. Having injested a fistful of meth the night before, he had no idea where he obtained these items. However, Schumacher loved the look, and the passion of everyone invovled ensured a large box office gross and a sequel was inevitable.
Batman and Robin[edit]
"It was a masterpiece!"
"Best film ever made!"
"I wanted to make Batman sexy!"
"Grown man in a rubber suit, running around with a young boy, don't need fricken' x-ray vision to see what the hell is going on there!"
Schumacher returned to direct the next Batman film. This became the most important film in his career. George Clooney played Bruce Wayne this time around, and Schumacher finally got to realise his dream of rubber-suited nipples on film. The film took the character in a radical new direction, finding Batman on the run for a severe charge of child malestation and ass fucking sixteen year old Robin and Batgirl. Then sending them go fight Arnold Schwartzenegger and a misshapen clone of Uma Thurman, Batman himself was occupied with poisoning his butler, Alfred, in order to sever the final link with the Tim Burton films.
Largely due to the improvised performance and one-liners of Arnold Schwartzenegger, the film received universal acclaim and seven oscar nominations, but dovetailed at the box office. Heartbroken, Schumacher hibernated for years. He awoke in 2008 to find The Dark Knight had been released, even bigger then his last masterpeice. Believing his work to be no good, he jumped off the Empire State Building, his life's work demolished.
Joel Schumacher was buried in Gotham, next to Bruce Wayne. HIs grave has become a Mecca for comic book fans everywhere. They flock from all countries to spit on it, knowing thier saliva will mix with his body and become a part of his genius. Michael Schumacher even drives a Ferrari into the tombstone every Christmas as payback for ruining his career.

With the fall semester almost half complete, some of you may be thinking about what is next. Spring and summer jobs and internships might be on your brain, but you may not be sure where to find these jobs and internships—that's when you can look to UWGB's Phoenix Recruitment Online, otherwise known as the PRO system. You may be thinking, "What in the world is she talking about?", and that is exactly what I plan to change. I've prepared a step-by-step guide to using the PRO system as well as some great advice from our career counselors and students like you who have found success through PRO. Let's begin.
Step One: To begin this process you will need to login to PRO. Each student has an account created by the university which you can access through the Career Services homepage or through the UWGB Student homepage by clicking Phoenix Recruitment Online. The username you will use will be: uwgb_the last 9 digits of your student ID. The password you will use will be: your birth date (MM/DD/YY).
Step Two: Once you have logged in, you will be staring at the PRO Home screen. You will be greeted by PRO's friendly "Welcome" announcement, along with a list of directions to help you navigate the system. First you want to click on My Account–>My Profile. Under this tab, you will find your personal account and profile set up for you by the university. Here you are able to edit your personal information, demographic information, skills, and additional or miscellanious information. You can move easily between these sections by clicking on the tabs located at the top of the page. If you go back to My Account–>My Documents, you will be directed to a new page that again lists exactly how to navigate through uploading documents to PRO. Important documents to upload here are, your resume, cover letters, recommendations, and any other reference material that would be beneficial to a potential employer. You can upload these documents by clicking Upload File in each of the sections available. According to our Career Counselors here in the office, this section is probably the most important section of the PRO system. Linda Peacock-Landrum, Director or Career Services, stated, " First and foremost, make sure that students have a resume uploaded into PRO and that it is viewable to employers…" Once you have uploaded a document, such as a resume, you should always be sure to go back into My Account–>My Profile to edit the "Employer Can See Resume" in the Additional Information section to YES.
Step Three: Now that you're logged in, and up-to-date, you're ready to begin your job search. At this point you will want to click the Jobs tab. You will then be directed to a search screen. From here, you have the option to search for jobs by: keyword, industry, position type, job ID (if known– but not likely) and job function. The most common search and probably most productive way to search is by position type or job function. Through these choices you will most likely be exposed to the most job opportunities.
Step Four: Once you have found a job or internship that you might be interested in, you can use PRO to apply for the position. By clicking on the postion name, you will be directed to a "Job Profile" screen. By looking under the "Applications Instructions" you will find instructions for applying. Questions regarding how to apply or understanding how to apply are always welcome in the Career Services Office. You can reach us by email, phone or by stopping in to set up an appointment with one of our counselors for additional help.
Step Five: Patience. Patience. Patience. Many students have already found success through using the Phoenix Recruitment Online, and our hope is that you can too! By following these simple steps, you can take the hassle out of the job search. In a quote from Linda Peacock Landrum, she states, "I try to equate using PRO today like someone 15 years ago would utilize newspapers to search for employment. If you were looking for a job in Green Bay 15 years ago, it would be natural to use the Press-Gazette to look for a job–you would not ignore it. Therefore if you knew that employers wanted to post jobs and internships directly to UW-Green Bay students–why would you not use the resource designed to do just that??"
Applying for jobs is a tricky business, but with good instruction and help from UWGB's PRO system, you'll find yourself a "PRO" in no time

Indie Advisors' Growing Pains
Adding clients, and finding ways to serve them efficiently, is key to business expansion.
Independent channel executives love to cheer their space — and no wonder. It continues to grab market share. It exudes a strong client-first mindset. And, according to Fidelity Investments' new Broker and Advisor Sentiment Index, RIAs and the independent broker-dealer channel generate the highest levels of advisor satisfaction. These folks are happy.
But in corner offices, top leaders are grappling with a key question: As it faces revenue-building inhibitors and other challenges, what must the independent channel do to create sustainable success?
Indie sector experts weigh in on how to advisors can climb to the next level in today's straitened economic circumstances.
Giving Clients What They Need
Behavioral finance expert Meir Statman focuses on beating bad thinking.
Professor Meir Statman has been doing notable behavioral finance research for decades (some of it together with billionaire investor Ken Fisher). Now he has published a book that makes this research accessible to lay advisors and investors.
In What Investors Really Want, the Santa Clara University researcher provides deep insight into just what drives investor decisions. Science is the route to smarter investing, says Statman, who urges FAs to deter clients from "the tempting voice of wants" — often prompting bad investment choices — and steer them instead toward "shoulds" — which mostly lead to smart choices.
Researchrecently interviewed Statman to shed light on how advisors can use the science of behavioral finance to build client trust and add value.
The Differentiation Dilemma
Why should prospects hire you over your competitors?
While attempting to win over a new client, we may think that we are impressing them with our investment knowledge and financial planning acumen. All seems to be perfectly aligned as we begin to feel quite proud of our salesmanship and performance. However, that euphoric feeling can be rather abruptly shattered when the prospective client says: "So, tell me why I should hire you over the other hundred financial planners who called my office last week?"
The key to resolving this dilemma is to realize that it is not sufficient to tell them why you are different, but rather you need to show them that you are different. In his Client Relationship column, Raphael Lapin offers a two-step approach to effective differentiation.
Retirement Planning Gone Awry
Poor planning and poor luck plague retirement outcomes.
Most investors end up needing to take retirement income out of current assets, with most advisors defaulting to the rule of thumb known as "the 4 percent rule." However, recent research shows that this rule of thumb is far more hazardous than commonly understood.
Wade Pfau, a professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Japan, has demonstrated that the experience of international markets suggests a withdrawal rate far lower than 4 percent, and that a 4 percent real withdrawal rate is based upon "irrational optimism."
Indeed, data from countries such as Spain, Belgium and France suggest that even a 3 percent withdrawal rate is highly problematic. Pfau has also shown that Americans who retired around the turn of the century are often in real danger. Indeed, for 2008 retirees, Pfau estimates a maximum sustainable withdrawal rate of only 1.46 percent.
In this Annuity Analytics column, Bob Seawright looks at various approaches to common retirement income challenges.
Mexico's Resilient Market
The Mexican stock market has a history of overcoming economic and financial crises.
Mexico's long-ago president, José Porfirio Díaz, is credited with a memorable, though likely apocryphal, quote, which translates as: "Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States!"
Díaz' desire to keep some distance from the giant northern neighbor echoed through the 20th century in Mexican policies that kept a tight rein on cross-border trade and investment.
In recent decades, though, and particularly since the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect in 1994, Mexico's policymakers have sought to capitalize on their country's proximity to the U.S. Consequently, Mexico has attracted investor interest for its uncommon identity as both emerging market and member of a vast trade bloc.
Ken Silber details how, in recent years, Mexico's market has soared to unprecedented heights, notwithstanding a significant but transient plunge during the global financial crisis.
Facebook Frenzy
Is there a new high-tech bubble?
In stocks, a new mini-bubble is inflating in the social networking sector of the Internet. Valuations of companies have gone through the roof. The leader of the whole social networking phenomenon, Facebook, has gone from around $10 billion less than two years ago to over $75 billion in early 2011. Worse, there seems to be an unstoppable bubble mentality at work. Even though everyone realizes that it is a bubble, there is a buying frenzy that compels investors to keep buying small stakes in top-tier social networking firms at astronomical prices.
According to many analysts, today's situation is fundamentally different from the late 1990s environment, when dot.com valuations got out of hand. There are fewer companies involved than a decade and a half ago, when literally hundreds of companies rushed first to the stock market and then on to the bankruptcy court. Today's social networking operations have a solid business model and are, by and large, making money — some hand over fist.
Alexei Bayer argues these cheerleaders are like European generals in the 19th and early 20th centuries — always preparing to fight the past war, not the future one.
Whacking Moles?
Time management, not multitasking, gets things done.
Of course you played the game. A silly face pops up, WHACK. Then another. WHACK. No matter how good and how fast you are, there's always another mole leering at you, begging to be whacked. Odds are you also lead a whack-a-mole business life, which means that you suffer from bad work habits.
Specifically, those bad work habits are: (a) multitasking; (b) unstructured day; and (c) little or no administrative system.
It does not take much loss of structure for an entire labor of moles to run in uncontrolled abandon through your office and life. (Yes, a group of moles is called a labor — most apropos don't you think?)
"The secret" of bringing structure into your day is to start with a single "mini-day." Pick a type of activity: planning, calling clients, cold walking, whatever. Start on time. End on time. Then add another "mini-day."
In this column, Bill Good offers a time-management strategy that keeps those moles at bay.

How we can tell?
Why not do both and see what difference it makes and show your readers?
David Bai
Thanks Nick and Maarren.
My impression is that, ignore missing values (default approach in
Stata), which I assume is listwise approach, has been critisized by
many researchers, such as Paul Allison, because the sample without
missing values may end up to be very different from the original
population. So whether the results derived from the listwised cases can
be generalizable to the original population is suspectable. That's why
methods like MI have been developed. Although MI has its limitations, I
assume that it is better than using listwise-deleted sample that no
longer represent the original population?

I have many more variables that can be possibly related to
revenue. Given what you and Maaren explained below, I guess
using ipolate and year info only might not be an accurate
way to predict revenue. MI might be a better approach.
Correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
That really depends on all gritty little details of your
data analysis: what you want to do with your imputed data, why
some variables have missing values, what assumptions you are
willing to make, etc. etc. So, the not very helpful "correct"
answer is that "it depends". In general I would recommend to
just ignore missing values (default approach in Stata). Methods
like MI are great but also very sensitive and hard to diagnose,
so unless you really know what you are doing I would stay away
from those techniques.
Think of it this way: I will generaly be skeptical about results
when MI noticably changes it. This might legitemately happen, but
it more often points into the direction of an error in your
imputation model. Now, why would I go through the effort of learning
about MI if I am only going to believe the results when the MI does
not change them?
There are specific situations where MI make perfect sense, but
MI is not suitable as a default. The problem is, that making such a
decision depends on all the gritty little details of your project,
your theory, your research question, your discipline, and much more.
So, this is really a decision that you will have to make on your own.

Michael Crabtree's 2013 season might be over before it began.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported that the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver suffered a torn Achilles tendon during organized team activities Tuesday, according to a person informed of the injury.
Crabtree already has had surgery to repair his torn Achilles, according to Rapoport. Crabtree now begins an estimated six months of rehab, according to Rapoport, which means the receiver could return as early as November.
Niners coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed with reporters Wednesday that Crabtree had successful surgery. Harbaugh also said Crabtree's not expected to miss the entire season.
USA Today's Mike Garafolo was the first to report the news of Crabtree's injury.
It's a brutal development for the 49ers, who watched Crabtree bloom into a Pro Bowl-level receiver in his fourth NFL season. Crabtree set career highs in receptions (85), yards (1,105) and touchdowns (nine). His production took off after Colin Kaepernick replaced Alex Smith as the starting quarterback.
If there's a silver lining for the 49ers, it's the progress that has been made in the treatment of this type of injury. An Achilles tear once was an instant season-ender, but that has changed in recent times.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Da'Quan Bowers both tore the same tendon last spring and rejoined their respective teams after stays on the physically unable to perform list.
Kaepernick are emerging stars. Which QB is better? Bucky Brooks' pick might surprise you. More ...
That said, neither player was close to 100 percent when they got back on the field. It's wishful thinking to expect Crabtree will regain his pre-injury explosiveness over the next six months.
The 49ers' acquisition of Anquan Boldin is especially huge now. With Crabtree down and Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams recovering from serious knee injuries, the 49ers don't have much depth at receiver. This would be an ideal time for 2012 first-round draft pick A.J. Jenkins to upgrade from spectator status.
Vernon Davis, meanwhile, might just have found some of those targets that alluded him a year ago.

Promises in Bangladesh
Wal-Mart and Gap Hold Off on Legally Binding Pact to Improve Worker Safety
Some of Europe's largest retailers agreed Monday to sign a legally binding agreement designed to improve safety conditions in Bangladesh's garment factories after a building collapse last month killed at least 1,127 workers and injured many more.
Under the five-year accord, Hennes & Mauritz HM.B -1.04% AB, Inditex, ITX -1.10% the Spanish parent company of Zara, Tesco TSCDY -2.40% PLC and others agreed not to hire manufacturers whose clothing factories fail to meet safety standards and committed to paying for necessary repairs and renovations. The pact was negotiated by retailers with global worker-safety advocates, and overlapped with the Bangladeshi government's announcements that it would raise the minimum wage for garment-industry workers and make it easier for workers to unionize.
But major U.S. retailers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., WMT -0.13% Sears Holdings Corp. , Gap Inc. GPS 2.88% and J.C. Penney Co. JCP 4.90% haven't signed the agreement. And some skeptics are waiting to see whether companies and government officials will pay more than lip service to improving standards in Bangladesh, where dozens of fires over the past decade have killed hundreds of workers. Activists have tried for years to improve factory conditions as the country grew into one of the biggest exporters of clothing in the world.
"This is the first serious step by the Bangladesh government taken over the last 10 years and the most important step by the brands and retailers to pay the real cost of production and ensure workers are safe," said Dara O'Rourke, professor of environmental and labor policy at the University of California at Berkeley. But, he added, "Wal-Mart, Gap and other U.S. brands are glaringly absent and unless they step up, the agreement will have limited effect."
Indeed, another plan is afoot among U.S. retailers. U.S. trade groups representing retailers and clothing manufacturers have been meeting to hammer out their own accord to improve overseas workplace safety, but have yet to release their plan, according to a person with knowledge of the meetings.
Neither Wal-Mart, Gap nor Sears have been linked to the factories in the building that collapsed April 24, but their garments have been found at the sites of recent fires with high death tolls, and are among the biggest customers of Bangladeshi factories, according the local trade group.
Gap said it wouldn't sign the agreement in its current form because of language that makes it legally binding in U.S. courts. It has put forward an amendment that calls for retailers to be publicly expelled from the group if they fail to comply with arbitration, according to a person familiar with the matter. "The litigation landscape is different in the U.S. than in Europe," said Bill Chandler, Gap's vice president of global corporate affairs. "Gap Inc. is ready to sign on today with a modification to a single area—how disputes are resolved in the courts."
Wal-Mart declined to comment on why it didn't sign, but said it will continue to work with industry groups, suppliers and the Bangladesh government "to come to an appropriate resolution on this matter and develop broad-based solutions for the industry."
Sears and Penney said they are still evaluating the accord.
Others that did sign on included Calvin Klein parent PVH Corp. PVH 3.40% of the U.S., German retailer Tchibo and Primark, a European budget fashion chain owned by Associated British Foods. ASBFY -2.70%
Corporate Intelligence
A copy of the safety agreement, dated May 12, was published online by the Worker Rights Consortium, a labor rights monitor that has been pushing for all big retailers to sign on. Here are the basic details.
Signers said they need widespread participation to make the agreement work. "In order to make an impact and be sustainable it would need a broad coalition of brands," H&M said. But the company, the largest garment producer in Bangladesh, said it won't be deterred by the higher production costs that could come from recently proposed labor reforms, including a higher minimum wage.
"H&M will accept the price increase that might arise as a consequence of the salary revision," the company said.
Activists hailed the agreement. "The pressure on retailers is building," said Jyrki Raina, general secretary of IndustriALL, a Geneva-based labor union that was involved in the negotiations. "We're approaching our target to have brands on board that collectively source from at least 1,000 factories."
The agreement is only the first step in a long process, and many details remain to be worked out, according to labor groups. Signatories have 45 days to form a governing board and develop an implementation plan. The board will include three labor representatives, three retailer representatives and a chairman chosen by the U.N. International Labor Organization.
The board will oversee safety inspections of up to 5,000 factories over two years, with the results to be made public. The board also will oversee dispute resolution between retailers and union representatives, which will be subject to arbitration with decisions enforceable in a court of law in the country of the retailer.
To implement the accord, each company's cost will be based on how much they produce in Bangladesh. Participation will cost each company a maximum of $2.5 million over the five-year period, according to a draft of the agreement.
Questions remain. Because companies rarely sign long-term contracts with factories and regularly move production between manufacturers, the board will have to define how to determine which companies will be responsible to pay for which repairs and renovations at factories, said Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium, a monitoring group in Washington.
Labor groups say that Wal-Mart, which has had sourcing office in Bangladesh for at least a decade and is one of the country's largest customers, has long resisted a legally binding agreement. Wal-Mart has preferred to implement its own safety programs, such as a recent $1.6 million donation to an American organization to start an environmental health and safety academy in Bangladesh.
But the company confirmed that Rajan Kamalanathan, Wal-Mart's head of ethical sourcing, attended a meeting earlier this month in Germany to draft the industrywide safety agreement with two dozen retailers, workers-rights groups, labor unions and non-governmental organizations.
The group set Tuesday as the deadline to sign the new pact.
Italian retailer Benetton Group SpA, whose order forms were found in the rubble of the collapsed Rana Plaza factory, is strongly considering signing the agreement, according to a person close to the company.
Mango MNG Holding SL, which was also producing clothes at Rana Plaza, hasn't yet signed it and didn't respond to requests for comment.
The agreement is intended to become the cornerstone of efforts to improve working conditions in Bangladesh's $20 billion garment industry. It calls for the appointment of a safety chief to inspect Bangladesh's 5,000 garment factories and establishes fire-safety training for workers.
Separately, activists say they are pressing some Western retailers to contribute more than $70 million to a fund that would compensate victims of the factory collapse. The fund would serve as a unified clearinghouse that would collect payments from brands and maintain a transparent database of injured and dead workers, said Tessel Pauli of the Amsterdam-based Clean Clothes Campaign, which is among the groups working to create the fund.
It will also aid efforts by the government and the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association to identify the bodies of the deceased, many of which will require DNA testing because they have been crushed beyond recognition, she said.
April's collapse of the eight-story Rana Plaza, one of the world's worst industrial accidents, has put pressure on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government to address concerns about working conditions in Bangladesh.
Ms. Hasina's administration said on Sunday that it planned to soon raise the minimum wage in the sector from $38 per month, about a quarter of China's wage. It closed 18 garment factories for safety violations last week and is planning broad inspections of other facilities.
The salvage operation at the disaster site wound down on Monday, the first day in which workers didn't find a corpse. For most of the previous week, army personnel leading the cleanup found around 100 dead bodies each day.

What leads you to believe this is a salvation issue? As best as I can tell, we are talking about the difference in reformed and open views, the nature of what and how God knows, and the proposition that God cannot exist outside of time.
My discussion so far, as dubiously clear as it may be or not, has been to simply say that I see a philosophical paradigm that is demanding that I respond to it. Because it is a new propositon for me, and because Clete has challenged that I cannot logically deny it, I have to at least clear the playing field and put as many cards on the table I own for this discussion.
It would be unfair to have just jumped in and I'd have been seen malicious or irrational in my cross examination because I have not encountered this particular proposition prior.
Further, I have a reformed theological bias that will color the discussion. Clete is right that not many of us tend to get into philosophical discussion.

Inside a Montessori Classroom
Montessori classrooms are peaceful, happy places designed to meet the developmental needs of each child in every stage of life.
They contain many places for children to learn and play, in many different ways: by themselves, in pairs, in small groups, in large groups, inside, outside, at tables, on the floor. All items in the environment are scaled to the child's size, including furniture, shelves, utensils, dishware, cleaning implements and the Montessori materials themselves. There is no focal center to the classroom; this reflects that the teacher is not the focus of the children's attention, but that they are all one community together. Bright and attractive colors, natural materials, fascinating cultural objects and interesting pictures on the wall all offer the children complex sensory and intellectual experiences. When children first enter a Montessori environment, there is an immediate and touching moment when they realize that this place is for them.
In Montessori classrooms, children are taught how to regulate their own social interactions. Through fun role-playing activities and appropriate modeling, the teacher demonstrates the best way to respond to arguments or new situations, giving the child the ability to act confidently and pro-socially when the actual problem arises. The result is a self-regulating classroom, in which natural social tensions are resolved mostly by the children themselves.
Children move freely throughout the environment, choosing activities that interest them, or working with the teacher, individually, or in small groups. Their movement is unrestricted by the teacher unless it endangers themselves, other people, or their surroundings. Outdoor environments are important in Montessori schools, and offer opportunities to engage with the natural world.
Guiding Principles
The guiding principles of Montessori education are the same across all age levels, and are grounded in over one hundred years of work with children around the world.
Maria Montessori profoundly respected children and the developmental powers that drive them to seek certain experiences. Montessori education reframes the adult/child relationship to place the child at the center of his own learning. In Montessori classrooms, teachers respect children as separate and unique individuals. They guide children to respect the people and objects in their environment, and as the child grows older, to respect and understand the connectedness between all living and non-living things, leading to the adolescent's profound awareness of the complex web of human existence.
Prepared Environment
Children's needs change as they move through stages of development. At each level of Montessori education, this difference is honored through the preparation of the classroom environment. The environment is prepared in every way for optimal development: physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally. By aligning the activities in the environment with what each child needs at any moment, Montessori prepared environments liberate children's energy for growth and learning.
Hands-on learning
Montessori classrooms are interactive environments in which hands-on exploration is not only encouraged, it is necessary. By using the mind, the body, and the senses, learning becomes an activity that engages the whole self. Any parent will agree that children do; Montessori environments follow this natural inclination of children towards activity by offering an appropriate variety of objects and activities for meaningful engagement.
One of the most profound differences between Montessori education and conventional education is that, in Montessori, children are given the experience of discovering the answer for themselves. This leads to a much deeper learning experience, and creates a lifelong love of learning as a self-directed process of problem-solving and discovery.
A Montessori-Trained Adult
The trained Montessori teacher links the child to activities and experiences in the prepared environment. Specialized training results in a deep knowledge of child development, the purposes and use of each activity, and an understanding of how to foster and maintain social harmony in the classroom. Click here to learn about Montessori teacher training at Montessori Northwest.
Montessori classrooms support the development of imagination and creativity at every stage of learning. The open-ended activities allow children to explore new ideas and relationships, providing a foundation for self-expression and innovation. In the early years, the building blocks of imagination are firmly established through sensory exploration of the world, launching both imagination and creative self-expression.
Freedom of Choice
Maria Montessori recognized that when allowed freedom of choice within clear, firm and reasonable boundaries, children act in positive ways that further their development. Freedom is frequently misunderstood, and many people take it to mean that children can do whatever they want. Montessori believed that freedom without boundaries was abandonment. In Montessori classrooms, expectations are clear, and children experience the natural and logical consequences of their choices. This freedom within limits allows for the natural development of self-regulation within the society of the classroom, as well as mirroring behaviors expected by society in general.
From the moment of birth onwards, humans strive towards independence. Children feel this need very strongly; they want to do things for themselves, and to participate in the world around them. In Montessori classrooms, this natural drive towards independence is fostered through practical, social and intellectual experiences. The child becomes an active agent in her own education, saying, "Help me to do it myself". We honor this by helping children move to increasingly higher levels of independence and self-reliance.

Parallax BOE Shield for Arduino: First Look
I'm a big fan of Parallax and adafruit industries, so was glad to learn that they are now stocking the Parallax BOE Shield for Arduino. I already owned this kit but have yet to have time to play with it. The video above is an unboxing of the BOE Shield, PING))) sensor mounting bracket, and crawler kit.
The original Parallax BOE-Bot uses Propeller controller and is very good for learning robotics in that environment. The lessons, documentation, and examples are quite detailed. With a focus on education, Parallax wisely decided to expand this platform into Arduino territory. The only "required" pins for the shield are two of 10, 11, 12, and 13. You can choose which two in your Arduino code. The rest can be used with your normal stackable Arduino shields.
To get a general idea of the BOE Shield and completed robot in action, take a look at adafruit's new product announcement.
Here's a photo of the crawler kit sitting on an original BOE bot (borrowed from Parallax's site) that I intend to use with the BOE Shield.
I'll be posting all my source code and a bunch of pictures or videos, but it will all pale in comparison to the online book from Parallax.
Stay tuned for more!

The NFL draft will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday in New York. Times NFL writer Sam Farmer examines team needs by division. Today, the West divisions:
AFC West
There's no doubt the Oakland Raiders need a long-term answer at quarterback — Matt Schaub is a Band-Aid fix — but that doesn't mean they have to use the No. 5 pick on one. There's a good chance the Raiders can pick up an outstanding defensive player, such as Buffalo's Khalil Mack. Or maybe Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins slips through the cracks and tumbles to them. A pass rusher would be an excellent, someone who can learn behind seasoned veterans LaMarr Woodley and Justin Tuck would be nice.
Alex Smith can't thrive with the Kansas City Chiefs when he's throwing to Dwayne Bowe alone. Smith needs more targets, and this is a great draft for receivers. The Chiefs used last year's No. 1 overall pick on Eric Fisher, and now they're moving him to left tackle. If they can get a player to they can develop into a right tackle, that would be a huge help. On defense, they will look for a safety to pair with Eric Berry.
Cornerback is a big an area of acute need for the San Diego Chargers, who were ranked 29th in pass defense last season. They have the 25th pick, and some of the top corners should be off the board by then. at that point. They also could also continue to upgrade their offensive line, particularly in the interior. The Chargers' top three picks last year — tackle D.J. Fluker, linebacker Manti Te'o, and receiver Keenan Allen — all wound up in the starting lineup.
The Denver Broncos made a splash with the signings of defensive end DeMarcus Ware and cornerback Aqib Talib, but they still need a middle linebacker. Offensive guard is a big position of need too, and the Broncos are the only team that brought UCLA's Xavier Su'a-Filo in for a visit. Even with Eric Decker gone, the Broncos are rich with receivers. Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker are in the final year of their respective deals, though, so the club might want to draft a project.
NFC West
Thanks to the Robert Griffin III deal, the St. Louis Rams have two first-round picks, and that's huge in this ultra-deep draft. They need an offensive tackle, with Jake Long coming off torn knee ligaments and Rodger Saffold probably moving inside to guard. Cortland Finnegan is gone, so there's a good chance the Rams will use one of their two first-round picks on a cornerback.
The Arizona Cardinals, who hit their stride in the second half of last season, are sorely in need of help at safety. Tyrann Mathieu suffered a knee injury and might not be ready for the start of the season, and free agent Yeremiah Bell has yet to be re-signed. The Cardinals also have to start thinking about an eventual replacement for outside linebacker John Abraham, who had 11 1/2 sacks last season.
With all the success the San Francisco 49ers have had in recent years, it's difficult for a rookie to log much playing time. The 49ers will be looking for a cornerback, in this draft, though, having lost Carlos Rogers, their slot corner for the last three seasons. Depth at receiver is an issue, too, as Colin Kaepernick had limited options last season, particularly because of injuries to Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham (now a Giant). dealing with injuries.
They won the Super Bowl, but the Seattle Seahawks lost two of their top six offensive linemen. They will likely probably will address that in the draft, maybe with someone who can play both guard and tackle. The team The Seahawks also lost defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, who was instrumental to in its their success. So a big body in the middle is on their its wish list. Pete Carroll also could also use another receiver, having lost Golden Tate in free agency.

Speed Thrills: Nike Hits The NFL Ground Running With 'Fast Is Faster' Campaign
By Barry Janoff
April 27, 2012: Nike came out of the gate with full guns blazing in the first official national appearance under its NFL alliance, not only supplying every first-round draft pick with a new team jersey featuring their name on the back, but unleashing a TV spot that makes it clear the company is the new marshal in town.
Moments after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called Andrew Luck's name at the No. 1 overall pick by the Indianapolis Colts, a Nike crew had his name emblazoned on the back of his No. 12 jersey. Minutes later, they did the same with Robert Griffin III, who hit the stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York to greet the commissioner while holding his personalized No. 1 Washington Redskins jersey.
To make its imprint even more profound, Nike also unveiled its high-intensity commercial, "Fast is Faster." The one-minute ad stars the new Nike NFL jerseys and gear (such as pants and gloves), which have been on display at the temporary pop-up NFL Store in New York since being unveiled earlier this month at an event in Brooklyn, NY.
It's all part of Nike's grand entrance as the new official and exclusive supplier of NFL gear via a five-year deal signed in 2010 that sees the company replace adidas' Reebok division, which held the license for ten years.
The spot features (in alphabetical order) Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals), Marshawn Lynch (Seattle Seahawks), LeSean McCoy (Philadelphia Eagles), Troy Polamalu (Pittsburgh Steelers), Darrelle Revis (New York Jets) and Alex Smith (San Francisco 49ers). NFL official Mike Carey also gets a turn.
"This game is not fast . . . this game is faster," warns a voiceover as lights go on in an NFL stadium, the engine of a sports car races and a jet blazes. "Strong is no longer strong. Fast is the new strong. Lungs are jet engines. End zones are scorched. The pocket is collapsing faster. The field just got shorter. The slow lose their lunch. The tortoise never wins. And if you are not faster, someone will let you know."
The spot launched on ESPN between the selections of Luck and RG3, and now will go into regular rotation as the anchor for the "Fast is Faster" campaign. Support will include print and Internet, with such social media destinations as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Lead agency is Wieden + Kennedy. Nike said the spot was directed by Mark Romanek and edited by Kirk Baxter, who won the Academy Award for film editing in 2010 (The Social Network) and 2011 (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).
"Nike's football heritage is built on the concept of speed," the company offered in a statement. "More than 40 years ago, Nike founder Bill Bowerman set out on a relentless quest to help athletes get faster. From the first football cleat to the new NFL Nike Elite 51 uniforms, Nike continues to blend cutting edge technology with over four decades of knowledge, craft and insight to help athletes gain speed."
