Consumer and Retail Industry Update August 2012 Consumer and Retail Industry Update August 2012 Member FINRA/SIPC www.harriswilliams.com Consumer and Retail Industry Update August 2012 What We’ve • The Wall Street Journal reports that same-store sales are coming in mixed for U.S. retailers. Been Reading “The 18 retailers tracked by Thomson Reuters are expected to show 3.1% same-store sales growth for July. The figure compares with 4.8% growth last year.” However, “Average back-to-school spending for a person with school-age children is projected to jump to $688 this year, according to a National Retail Federation survey last month. That is up from $603 in last year's survey. One reason for the bump is that this year will see the most children entering elementary and middle schools since 2008.” Read the article here. • Cortec Group, a New York based private equity firm, announced that it has completed the purchase of YETI Coolers, LLC.

MasterCard estimates that roughly 60 percent of holiday purchases, or about $285 billion, have already been made.’” Read the article here.

    Stanford iFarm Teams – The Final Project STANFORD DOCKET NO. S13­015 A NOVEL APPROACH FOR DETECTING HEAD COLLISIONS IN SPORTS TEAM 5 Team: Charlie Ouyang, Alex Trzebucki Mentors: David Taylor, Amy Wilkinson 1. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION, STATUS AND LANDSCAPE A. Idea Description The technology S13­015, “Novel approach for detecting head collisions in sports,” was invented by Bruce Cam, David B. Camarillo, and Lyndia Chun Wu. It consists of two main components: 1) an instrumented mouthguard containing a triaxial linear accelerometer and a triaxial gyrometer, along with other supporting electronics, and 2) an impact detection algorithm that distinguishes between non­impact events and true head impacts. B. Potential Commercial Applications of Technology The primary commercial application of this technology is detection of head impacts in contact sports, helmeted and non­helmeted, where head impact is of concern. Such sports include football, soccer, boxing, hockey, and lacrosse, and include all levels from amateur to professional. Additional commercial applications of the technology may include those in the following sectors: ● Military: Impact­related activities such as parachuting ● Automotive: Safety evaluation (pedestrian and vehicle) ● Elderly care: Head impact detection during falling events C. Features and Benefits The technology is able to provide high accuracy, raw kinematic data and can accurately classify recorded events as impact or non­impact (offline or in real time). The potential uses of this data are numerous. In the short term, the main value of instantaneous and cumulative head impact data lies in its potential use for prompting further clinical evaluation of players during or after sporting events. In the long term, this data will be broadly useful as a correlate to accepted clinical measures, ultimately better informing research on head impacts and leading to the development of devices and policies for improved detection, and more importantly prevention or minimization of head impacts and related sequelae.

Norte,‡ PhD, Megan M. Gleason,§ MD, Dustin L. Richter,|| MD, Kelli F. Pugh,{ ATC, Keith B. Thomson,{ ATC, Lindsay V. Slater,{ PhD, Joe M. Hart,{ PhD, Stephen F. Brockmeier,{ MD, and David R. Diduch,{ MD Investigation performed at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Background: The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) advocates for cervical spine immobilization on a rigid board or vacuum splint and for removal of athletic equipment before transfer to an emergency medical facility. Purpose: To (1) compare triplanar cervical spine motion using motion capture between a traditional rigid spine board and a full- body vacuum splint in equipped and unequipped athletes, (2) assess cervical spine motion during the removal of a football helmet and shoulder pads, and (3) evaluate the effect of body mass on cervical spine motion. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Twenty healthy male participants volunteered for this study to examine the influence of immobilization type and presence of equipment on triplanar angular cervical spine motion. Three-dimensional cervical spine kinematics was measured using an electromagnetic motion analysis system. Independent variables included testing condition (static lift and hold, 30 tilt, transfer, equipment removal), immobilization type (rigid, vacuum-mattress), and equipment (on, off). Peak sagittal-, frontal-, and transverse-plane angular motions were the primary outcome measures of interest. Results: Subjective ratings of comfort and security did not differ between immobilization types (P > .05). Motion between the rigid board and vacuum splint did not differ by more than 2 under any testing condition, either with or without equipment.

  • Nu Skin Faces Pyramid-Scheme Allegations in China
    Center for Ethical Organizational Cultures Auburn University http://harbert.auburn.edu Nu Skin Faces Pyramid-Scheme Allegations in China INTRODUCTION Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. has come far in its nearly 30-year history. Founded in Provo, Utah, in the United States, the company is based upon a multilevel marketing direct-selling model that employs independent contractors to sell personal care products and dietary supplements. The firm has gone on to become the seventh largest direct seller in the world, with 2013 revenue of over $4 billion. It has paid out more than $10 billion in commissions and sales incentives. Nu Skin has been recognized throughout the years for its innovative products and social responsibility initiatives, but it h as also faced some ethical and legal challenges. Today Nu Skin has a widespread global reach, operating in 53 international markets on five continents. In particular, China has become a lucrative market for Nu Skin’s direct-selling operations. Nu Skin’s Chinese sales force consists of more than 400,000 sales representatives and sales in China account for approximately 30 percent of Nu Skin’s revenue. Nu Skin has performed so well in China and other countries that CEO M. Truman Hunt has announced the company’s intention to increase its revenues to $10 billion by 2020. China is a critical market for reaching this goal. Despite Nu Skin’s rapid growth and success, allegations arose in China that could prove challenging to the company’s sales objectives in that country. Chinese newspapers accused Nu Skin sales representatives of operating an illegal pyramid scheme in China, an accusation that Nu Skin vehemently denied.
