Toy retailer entertains web upgrade
Independent toy retailer The Entertainer has completed a website refresh and contracted ecommerce specialist Escalate Retail to provide a software suite for the back-end. The implementation cost just over 400,000, including overall hosting, development and license costs, in the first year but since the system went live in October 2007, one of the retailer's sites, thetoyshop.com, has increased sales by 147 per cent, according to The Entertainer's online marketing and ecommerce manager Richard Bewley. silicon.com Retail & Leisure Get the latest retail and leisure news straight to your inbox.

One-shoulders rule as Cotillard looks stunning
Was this a Valentino tribute? I can't remember ever seeing this many red dresses at the Academy Awards. The influence of the great couturier, who retired this year after 45 years, was front and center Sunday night. Ironically, there didn't seem to be very many Valentino dresses in the crowd, but never mind. Everyone wore the color well, from 83-year-old Ruby Dee's understated square bodice sheath and matching jacket to Heidi Klum's souped-up Galliano gown with an unusual high ruffled collar and long train. Anne Hathaway's scarlet one-shoulder chiffon Marchesa gown with a swirling cascade of roses from the shoulder carried some high wattage. Presenter Katherine Heigl shone in a one-shoulder red gown with a keyhole cutout at the shoulder, and a fun, bouncy Marilyn Monroe 'do.
State offers help after oil company closes
WATERBURY (AP) The state is offering to help 12,000 customers of a Waterbury oil company that abruptly went out of business and left many people with pre-paid contracts in limbo. Gov. M. Jodi Rell says state investigators will go to the headquarters of F. and S. Oil Company first thing on Monday to demand access to its business records. She says the state will also seek a court-appointed receiver to audit the records, and go after any funds that may be missing. State officials will see if they can freeze the company's assets and return money to thousands of customers with pre-buy contracts. Rell also says her office will work to set up oil deliveries by other companies to F. and S. customers to make sure no one goes without heat. The state says F. and S. customers can call a state hot line at 1-800-842-2649 beginning Monday morning.
The new science of Obamology
During the Cold War it was crucial to understand the intentions of the Soviet government. This task was complicated by the obsessive secrecy and a lack of objective media in the Soviet Union. One response to this challenge was the creation of a unique field of study: Kremlinology. Sifting through slogans and talking points, Kremlinologists would make educated guesses about the plans of Soviet leaders. In the current presidential campaign, will it be necessary for American voters to develop Obamology skills? Sen. Barack Obama has taken center stage with his engaging personality and stirring rhetoric, but is remarkably coy about the specifics of his agenda. His campaign has posted a lengthy policy statement on its Web site, but it conceals as much as it reveals about the senator's political philosophy.

Rudy survives the Russert crucible
On paper, Rudy Giuliani is the candidate most likely to create major fireworks in a "Meet The Press" grilling. His public and private record is so checkered with personal and professional misdeeds that one could easily imagine NBC's Tim Russert tearing him apart. But Giuliani, a veteran of the New York press corps, also knows how to handle tough questions. He doesn't get flustered. He can takes control of the facts. And so on Sunday, with some help from a restrained Russert, Giuliani mostly skated through his big Sunday test. Mostly, he survived by frankly admitting some of his mistakes, and then arguing others. When asked why he had not been better briefed as New York mayor on the al-Qaida threat, he said bluntly, "I didn't see the enormity of it, neither did the administration at the time." When asked about abandoning the 9/11 commission to give speeches, he said he should never have joined the panel, since he had other concerns at the time, including his own possible presidential run.
The Visionary
As I said, it is differentbut we will have advertising campaigns, TV commercials, people talking on TV to explain our program. We will use modern methods for campaign. I do not want to call them western, they are international [methods]. Do you think the National Front for Change represents a real threat to the NDP in the parliamentary race?This is an internal issue for opposition parties whether to run individually or form a coalition. It is up to them. This is not going to affect or change any of our plans. As I said we are taking these elections seriously and we are going to work very hard to win every seat. I do not really have to comment on what they [opposition parties] are doing. I will be happy to see more opposition members in the parliament and I will be happier to see the NDP maintaining a majority in parliament.
Hillary Clinton Again Lies about Iraq
Yet suddenly, in January 1998, the Clinton administration decided that it had become an intolerable violation of UN Security Council resolution 687, which called upon Iraq to verify its disarmament, and warned Iraq that the United States - despite the lack of Security Council approval as required - would engage in a sustained bombing campaign against their country if the Iraqis did not allow these inspections of presidential palaces to go ahead. By February, a large-scale U.S. military assault seemed likely. However, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was able to broker a deal late that month that opened the presidential palaces to UN inspectors, but with an additional diplomatic presence in recognition of the sites' special status. The disappointment by Clinton administration officials that the bombing campaign would not be able to go ahead as planned was palpable.
Microsoft in a twist over SaaSy Office deal
A UK hosting company is offering Microsoft Office for £4.99 (around $10) a month with no contract commitment, and Microsoft doesn't like it — even though it seems Microsoft approved the arrangement. Launched last week by popular web hosting provider Fasthosts, the service uses streaming technology to download the application to the customer's PC, where it runs for as long as the customer continues to pay their subscription. The headline-grabbing £4.99-a-month price point ('less than a fiver' we Brits would say) is "for any household that has a user engaged in educational activities (such as school, college, night classes etc)", and includes the 2007 versions of Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. Business users pay £14.99. Both prices are before UK VAT (sales tax) of 17.5%, which most businesses reclaim but private individuals cannot.
