The imposing grandeur of this hotel is quite breath taking. A long sweeping drive leads you to the impressive Italian style mansion set in beautiful grounds. It certainly has a wow factor. Chandeliers, four poster beds, indoor pool and opulent decoration add to the luxurious, romantic atmosphere. Endearingly, pets are especially welcome and dogs get a bowlful of treats on arrival. Please Note: The swimming pool, sauna and Jacuzzi will be closed from the 29th April 2013 until further notice.

Outstandingly rude staff. I arrived 30 minutes late to discover my room had been given away, and when I asked for some help to find somewhere else they said 'no, find somewhere yourself' then I completely ceased to exist to them. Fairly typical non-English speaking Chinese service but still utterly disgusting. The whole hotel also had a 'we decorated 20 years ago, that'll do' feel, and stank of stale cigarettes.

I was very disappointed with my booking at this hotel. I have the booking confirmation but when I arrived to the hotel they told me that they do not have the room and that they will find me a room in another place. They relocated me to a hostel, we were 3 people and they gave me a 2 people room and I have to sleep on the floor but they make me pay for the same 3 person room that I had initially booked at the hotel. My advice: never go to this hotel, if they can do this, they are not serious.

They overbooked the hotel and left us out on the street. Please don't stay here I don't want this to ever happen to anyone else! Unless you are Chinese and can effectively communicate in Mandarin, this is not the place for you.

This document briefly outlines ways of protecting your computer and your data. It covers all areas except viruses, which we cover more fully on our Viruses web pages.
1. A Short Guide to Trouble Free Computing
When you buy a personal computer you expect it to work and continue working for a long time. While this is true for many people, sadly there are all too many cases of machines failing.
Since computers have a nasty habit of failing two days after the warranty runs out and a day before your dissertation paper is due in anything that can be done to prolong the trouble free life of your PC is good news.
In the same way that your car or bike works better given regular servicing, computer systems are also a good candidate for some care and attention.
1.1. Top Tips for prolonging your computers life (and maybe your own!)
1.2. Laptop Care (Keeping it running for longer....)
1.3. Help! My Machine is broken.......
Sometimes, even following all the above is not enough, so what do you do?
These may sound silly and obvious but think how silly you'll feel if an engineer calls and discovers your roomate unplugged the computer to plug in their kettle. You may also have to pay if an engineer is called and there is no fault with the equipment.
If none of the above has helped why not try your supplier (for equipment under warranty), contact your IT Officier or if they are unable to help, visit the OUCS Help Centre for further advice. If it is a hardware problem and the machine is registered on the University PC Maintenance Scheme then instructions on calling an engineer will be with the registration documents or can be obtained from OUCS.
2. An Introduction to Data Security
The following is a very brief outline of some of the issues relating to data security and services offered by OUCS relating to these issues.
2.1. Looking After the Hardware
Normally a new machine will be under warranty for a year after the date of purchase. After this warranty expires any hardware repairs are likely to be costly, (parts can be expensive and generally a company offering a repair service will charge labour costs at approximately 50.00 an hour). Many of the companies selling computer systems offer extended warranty schemes which may be worth considering after careful investigation.
The University Computing Services offers a very economically priced maintenance service for the repair of hardware faults on IBM compatible PC and Apple Macintosh personal computers, as well as their peripherals. It is available to University Institutions, Colleges and to University members on a personal basis for their privately owned equipment. Essentially, for a modest fixed fee, the service provides for an engineer to visit on-site within 8 working hours of a fault being reported. The fault should be fixed within a further 8 working hours, or an equivalent item of equipment will be offered as a loan until the repair is completed. Equipment must be in full working order when it is registered with the service. A full description of the OUCS PC Maintenance Service is given on the Web page.
It is recommended that this is read for a full understanding of the service.
Students and staff can register their personal IT equipment on this service, and pay online via the web interface at https://maint.oucs.ox.ac.uk/private/. Departmental and College staff can register institutionally owned IT equipment on this service via the web interface at https://maint.oucs.ox.ac.uk/acct/. Payment is made by specifying a departmental or college purchase order.
If your computer or printer is already faulty, you should contact an appropriate dealer to arrange a repair.
2.2. Looking After the Data
3. Backing Up Your Data
This is the most important step to maintaining the security of important data. Whatever else may happen, if your data is kept on a media other than the hard disk of your machine you will be able to recover it. In the simplest terms this can mean copying files to floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, memory sticks, external hard disks or a networked drive.
There are other options you should consider.
OUCS provides a large scale back up service on the Hierarchical File Server (HFS). Systems are backed up to tape on a regular basis via the IBM TSM client software. If you wish to take advantage of this service the system to be backed up must have a network connection and be registered for use of this service. Details of the HFS service can be found on the HFS web site.
You can register for this service via the Web.
Files or complete directory hierarchies can also be recorded onto a CD-ROM. This is useful for archiving files consuming large amounts of valuable disk space on your system. The Help Centre has a number of machines with CD writing software, and blank CDs can be purchased from the OUCS vending machine.
Whatever mechanism you choose always keep more than one copy of the data, OUCS recommends a minimum of three copies of all important data.
4. Anti-virus Software
In academic environments where there is a great deal of exchanging data and a very mobile user population computer viruses are a very real danger. Data loss through virus infections is common at Oxford. OUCS supports Sophos antivirus software for which we have a site licence. The software can be downloaded by members of the University from the Computing Services registration system. It will run on many different operating systems including Windows and MacIntosh OS X.
Our Viruses web pages have details of the software and news of virus alerts.
5. Protecting Sensitive Data
Where data contains personal information or is considered sensitive it should be protected by passwords and encryption. If the data is particularly sensitive the system on which the data resides should be protected from malicious attack. Details of the Data Protection Act.
Information relating to security issues and pointers to sources of software and documentation can be found on the Oxford computer security web pages.
Oxford University has an IT security team called OxCERT (Oxford Computer Emeregency Response Team). All security related incidents should be reported to OxCERT
6. A Last Resort
OUCS will attempt to recover lost or damaged data on a best efforts only basis; it does not have the highly sophisticated facilities necessary to provide a comprehensive data recovery service. We cannot guarantee recovery of material and no attempts will be made to recover application programs. Where the information on a disk is regarded as vital, OUCS will always recommend that the data be recovered by a specialist data recovery company. Users should be aware that any efforts to recover data by a member of OUCS staff may mean that the disk is written to and subsequent attempts by a data recovery service may be hindered by such efforts. Data recovery is a very specialised field and such services are usually expensive; normally it will cost you in the region of £250.00 to receive a list of the files that the company can recover, you would then be charged again for the recovery.
For these reasons backing up of important data should be regarded as the most important step in protecting your data.
7. Data Backup and System Recovery
7.1. Introduction
It is lamentable that many computer users have an unerring faith in computer storage media. There are regular instances of people entrusting their only copy of a thesis or dissertation to single floppy disk. The simple fact exists that all forms of magnetic media degrade over time and will ultimately fail. There is far less certainty as to when a disk will fail or what the consequences might be. In any event the advice remains the same: Save your copies of your work REGULARLY and NOT to the same storage device.
Backup frequency will depend upon how much data you have and how regularly it changes. As a guideline, if you couldn't bear to loose something, it's time to make a copy! Choosing an alternative backup location is eminently sensible or your backup will suffer the same demise as the original. Various schemes for backing up your data are listed below.
7.2. Automated Backups using the Hierarchical File Server (HFS)
The Hierarchical File Server provides large scale file store and backup services to the University community. The service is managed and operated by Oxford University Computing Services and runs the TSM software from IBM. Consider using this service if you have a direct connection to the university network and require weekly scheduled backups. Daily backup schedules can be arranged for critical network servers where appropriate.
7.3. Disk and Partition Cloning Software
Create a snapshot of your entire hard disk or the partitions it contains. The resulting image file can be saved on CD, ZIP disk, tape, a USB Flash Memory (Pen) drive or a network file server for rapid disaster recovery.
7.4. Archiving to Removable Media
Utilising cheap, high capacity storage devices for data backup and system recovery.
7.5. Creating an Emergency Repair Disk
Windows 95, 98 and NT allow you to make an emergency repair floppy disk containing a snapshot of important system files. This repair disk can be used to recover the operating system later should it fail to start or become corrupted through disk failure or mis-configuration.

VANCOUVER -- Travis Lulay threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the B.C. Lions beat the Montreal Alouettes 36-14 in CFL action Sunday.
B.C. improved to 7-4 while avenging a last-second loss in Montreal on Aug. 22. The Alouettes, who were held scoreless in the first half and trailed throughout, fell to 4-7. Montreal suffered its 13th loss in its last 14 visits to Vancouver.
Shawn Gore caught Lulay's touchdown pass while Andrew Harris scored on a one-yard run. Marco Iannuzzi caught a TD pass from B.C. backup quarterback Thomas DeMarco late in the game. It was the first scoring strike of DeMarco's two-year CFL career.
B.C.'s other points came on a conceded safety and Paul McCallum's two field goals and four converts.
Montreal's points came on touchdown receptions by S.J. Green and Brandon London. Both TD passes were thrown by Josh Neiswander, the third Alouettes quarterback used in the game.
The Als recovered two fumbles, by Lulay and Harris, and also had an interception in the first half, but could not convert the turnovers into decent field position, let alone points. Jerald Brown's interception was hampered by two unnecessary roughness penalties on the play. On one, Shea Emry unwisely nailed Lulay from behind as he was running down field.
The Lions got on the scoreboard first as Montreal punter Sean Whyte conceded a safety. B.C. went 5-0 on a Paul McCallum 22-yard field goal in the first quarter increased its lead to 8-0 on another in the second quarter from 43 yards.
After McCallum's second field goal, Alouettes starting quarterback Jesse Marsh, who had burned the Lions in a last-second loss in Montreal in their previous meeting Aug. 22, was pulled in favour of Troy Smith, who won the 2006 Heisman Trophy.
But Smith did little on only two running plays before B.C. got the ball again, and would be replaced by Marsh soon afterwards.
Lulay completed a 58-yard pass to Courtney Taylor, who managed to stay in bounds after Chip Cox turned him around on the sideline but could not bring him down. One play later, Lulay threw a 14-yard touchdown strike to Gore, staking the Lions to a 15-0 lead.
Two plays later, Jerome Messam dropped the ball on a forced fumble and B.C.'s Cord Parks recovered. The Als gained a reprieve when Harris fumbled on a reverse on third-and-one to nullify a B.C. scoring drive with 28 seconds before half-time. But the Als ran out of time before they could get in scoring range.
Lulay completed 18 of 22 passes in the first half for 198 yards. Marsh was good on just five of 11 for 54 yards.
Lulay's second interception of the game, by Mike Eden, set up Montreal's first points late in the third quarter. Neiswander connected with Green on a 14-yard touchdown pass to Green.
But more miscues on the Als' next offensive series, in the closing seconds of the third quarter, aided B.C.'s cause. Adam Bighill intercepted a Neiswander pass and returned it 44 yards. Messam brought him down shortly before the goal-line with a horse-collar tackle, and the penalty gave B.C. the ball at the Montreal one-yard-line.
Harris promptly took a Lulay hand-off into the end zone, enabling the Lions to go up 22-7.
Another Neiswander interception cost the Als again with just under five minutes gone in the fourth quarter as Marsh intercepted a pass thrown behind the receiver and took it into the end zone. However, Eric Taylor was called on an illegal block on the play, so B.C. had to settle for possession on Montreal's three yard-line.
After getting sacked on the next play, Lulay took the ball into the end zone to stake B.C. to a 29-7 advantage.
Montreal closed the gap to 29-14 on its next series after Neiswander threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to London. But with the outcome not appearing in doubt, B.C. coach Mike Benevides decided to pull Lulay, who was shaken up when hit while scoring his touchdown.
DeMarco reached his personal milestone as he found Iannuzzi for a 14-yard touchdown pass.
Notes: Defensive lineman Chris Wilson played his first game for B.C. after signing as free agent last week. It's Wilson's second stint with the Lions. ... CFL commissioner Mark Cohon attended the game as part of a tour of CFL cities that he has been on lately. He said discussions on a new collective bargaining agreement with players will begin next spring. The current one is due to expire the day before training camps open. Cohon again faced questions about the CFL's handling of concussions in wake of the NFL's $765-million settlement of a lawsuit with former players. Contending protocols have long been in place, he said player safety remains an ongoing agenda item at CFL board of governors meetings. ... Legendary Lions receiver Willie Fleming and former radio play-by-play broadcaster J. Paul McConnell were among former B.C. greats honoured at half-time for their induction into the B.C. Football Hall of Fame. McConnell now lives in France and made the trip from Europe for the occasion.

I have made these cookies on several occasions and each time they get rave reviews. The ganache stuffiing is what sets them apart from your ordinary chocolate chip cookie.
Ganache-Stuffed Chocolate-Chip Cookies
A stuffed cookie is like a sandwich cookie, only with more cream on the inside-it's fatter, fuller and (if you're the kind of person who twists apart the cookies to get to the cream) better. Jessica Sullivan, the pastry chef at Boulevard restaurant in San Francisco, makes hers with nutty chocolate-chip cookies and silky chocolate ganache.
Yield: Makes 18 stuffed cookies
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 5 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
- Make the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 375°. Spread the nuts in a pie plate and toast for 8 minutes; let cool, then chop.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle (or using a handheld mixer), cream the butter with the sugars and vanilla at medium speed, about 1 minute. Beat in the egg. With the mixer at low speed, beat in the dry ingredients. Beat in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Spoon level tablespoons of the dough onto 2 ungreased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm.
- Make the Ganache: Put the chocolate in a bowl. In a saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil; pour over the chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in the crème fraîche. Refrigerate the ganache, stirring occasionally, until thick and spreadable, 1 hour.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, until golden; let cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Sandwich the chocolate-chip cookies with the ganache and serve.

Comments On Oct 11, 2013:It works great with the shock rebuild i just completed.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 01, 2013:we have used several Liters of the 3 wt in shocks and it seems to hold up well to heat and not fade.
I have also used it in forks to get a lighter feel with no problems.
It got great scores in tests for sheer strength and heat resistance. that is why I decided t try it in the first place. This seems to be the case of getting more for your money since it is priced better than a lot of brands.

Comments On Jul 25, 2013:Long lasting, quality shock oil. Used it once and that was it, good stuff and consistent and it now finds its way into everyone of my shocks during rebuilds/revalves.

Comments On Dec 27, 2012:The Maxima shock oil is designed to withstand the high temps of a shock. Make sure you use the right viscosity oil. Works great in my 2011 crf 450r. I can change the shock oil myself and get the nitrogen recharged at the motorcycle shop for about $10.

Comments On Dec 07, 2012:I do not have anything to compare this to. I now many people that use this product and suggest it. I wouldn't be know the difference, but the fluid was consistent and is like a quality product. I use the 10w60 engine oil on a ktm 530exc and it seems not to use oil as much as with other synthetic oils other that motorex.

25th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
|25th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 23 - 27 October 2000
|Agenda item 12
Analysis and recommendations of IUCNs Environmental Law Centre (Decision SC24-10) on Revisions to Ramsar sites boundaries, interpretation of Articles 2.5 and 4.2 (Resolution VII.23, paragraphs 9, 10, 11 & 13)
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is requested to consider the advice provided by IUCN Environmental Law Centre and take a decision on the way forward to bring recommendations on this issue to COP8, in particular in relation to the draft guidelines suggested in section IV of the attached paper.
1. The Standing Committee discussed the matter of Articles 2.5 and 4.2 at its previous meeting and adopted the following decision: "The Standing Committee requested the Bureau to explore with IUCNs Environmental Law Centre how the ELC might initially take the lead in developing legal advice for the SC on the issues raised in Resolutions VII.23 and VII.24, so that the Committee can then decide how to move forward" (Decision SC24-10).
2. Resolution VII.23 from COP7 is the relevant reference for this agenda item and in particular paragraphs 9 13 inclusive, as follows:
9. REQUESTS the Standing Committee to develop and propose to the 8th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties (COP8) a procedure for the review of Ramsar site boundaries for reasons other than urgent national interest, without prejudice to other international obligations;
10. RECOGNIZES that Australia will prepare two case studies (as referred to in Resolution VII.12) for the development of a more generalized approach to the revision of Ramsar site boundaries in cases other than the urgent national interest, and will provide the outcomes of these case studies in time for consideration at COP8;
11. REQUESTS the Standing Committee, with support from the Bureau, and in consultation with the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), experts familiar with the Habitats Directive of the European Union, appropriate legal and other experts, and interested Contracting Parties, to develop for consideration and possible adoption at COP8 guidance for the Contracting Parties in interpreting Articles 2.5 and 4.2, if resources allow;
12. CALLS UPON any Contracting Parties that consider the deletion or restriction of the boundaries of a Ramsar site in the urgent national interest prior to COP8, to exercise the highest levels of environmental, economic and social impact assessment which take into consideration the full range of functions, services and benefits offered by the wetland; and
13. URGES those Contracting Parties or organizations with experience in issues of urgent national interest or similar determinations and habitat compensation and mitigation issues to provide any relevant information and materials to the Ramsar Bureau for consideration by the Standing Committee by no later than 30 September 1999.
3. Also relevant is Resolution VII.24 concerning compensation for lost wetland areas, particularly paragraph 13: The COP "INVITES the Standing Committee to define, in cooperation with the Scientific and Technical Review Panel and the Ramsar Bureau, and in consultation with the International Organization Partners, criteria and guidelines for the compensation of wetland habitats in the case of unavoidable losses and to submit these for the approval of COP8".
4. It should be recalled that all Contracting Parties were invited through Diplomatic Notification 1999/6 to provide to the Bureau by 30 September 1999 any pertinent information on these related issues. Replies to this request were from Australia and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, which were transmitted to the Standing Committee at its last meeting.
5. Following the SC Decision, the Bureau contracted IUCNs Environmental Law Centre to prepare advice on this matter. The analysis prepared by the ELC is attached.
6. The Conclusion in the attached document is that: "As noted at the outset, there is limited express guidance within the Ramsar Convention for determining urgent national interest. Nonetheless, there is sufficient guidance that can be derived from the Convention and related instruments, to devise a method for developing a set of guidelines to assist with the determination of both urgent national interest, and the adequacy of the approach toward compensation in those cases where wetlands are taken for reasons of national interest." The Standing Committee may wish to consider agreeing to the development of the set of guidelines suggested by the ELC for consideration at its next meeting.

Katy Perry Debuts Ginger Hair
I've been super excited to get a glimpse of the singer's ginger locks and now that I have I have to say I like it!
Plus, this gives me a hint that she's probably going to be a blonde soon.
Katy was in Toronto, Canada yesterday to promote her fragrance and with the occasion she also promoted her newly died hair.
The 'E.T' singer looked pretty in a lilac Christian Dior dress with matching cardigan. It's not often that we see Perry so covered up, don't you agree?
The redhead finished her look with purple Miu Miu pumps and a cute Maison Michel cat ears headband.
Long story short, it might have been the Canadian launch of Purr but the spotlight belonged to Katy's ginger-y locks.
How do you like the new look of Katy Perry: Makeover or Makeunder?

Jon Gieselman is senior vice president of advertising and public relations for DIRECTV Inc., the nation's leading satellite television provider and second largest TV distributor in the country. In this role, he is responsible for all aspects of DIRECTV's national media planning and buying, television, print, online, radio and outdoor creative, publicity, events and sponsorships, all directed at acquiring new DIRECTV subscribers and shaping the perception of the brand.
Since joining DIRECTV in 2005, Gieselman and his team have developed numerous acquisition efforts intended to drive profitable growth, including the rebranding of DIRECTV as the premier television service; the award-winning "Fourth Wall" brand-tailing campaign utilizing famous films; exclusive sports and HD campaigns; the launch of DIRECTV's NASCAR racing program; and a greater focus on consumer-driven publicity to compete with cable both nationally and on a market-by-market basis.
Prior to joining DIRECTV, Gieselman was vice president of advertising and publicity for Kmart Corporation. He joined Kmart immediately following the retailing giant's emergence from bankruptcy and was part of the senior turnaround team that quickly returned the mass retailer to sales growth and profitability. His oversight of the company's external communications efforts included television and print advertising, public relations, investor relations and corporate philanthropy.
Before Kmart, Gieselman was the vice president of advertising, PR and brand development for HSN (formerly known as Home Shopping Network), an operating business unit of Barry Diller's IAC/InterActiveCorp. Gieselman managed all advertising, publicity, promotions, investor relations and brand development for the fourth largest cable television network in the United States. Under his direction, his team also created HSN's first brand development organization that created and managed over 300 exclusive and private label brands.
Prior to joining HSN, Gieselman was the North American brand manager for Ray-Ban Sunglasses, where he was responsible for all advertising, athlete sponsorships, product placement, promotions and new product launches. During his tenure, he created and negotiated product placement tie-ins in films such as Men in Black, awarded the Movie Promotion of 1997 by Entertainment Weekly. He also managed Ray-Ban's robust sports programs with the PGA, NASCAR and Olympics. Before managing North American marketing, he also held numerous senior-level marketing positions in the United States and was manager of Global New Products.
Prior to his work at Ray-Ban, Gieselman was a regional staffer for Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), where he represented the senator at political events and liaised with Congressional offices, the White House and federal agencies.
Gieselman holds a bachelor's degree from Boston College and an master's of business administration in marketing and strategy from Saint John Fisher College in Rochester, N.Y. He is based in DIRECTV's New York City offices.
Jon Gieselman lives in New Jersey with his wife and three children.
As executive vice president, Worldgroup global account director, Thom Gruhler leads McCann Worldgroup's largest U.S. account, the $1.9 billion Verizon account, directing an integrated multidisciplinary team of lead agencies and teams spanning all communications platforms.
Since his involvement with the Verizon in 2001, Gruhler has led the relationship across IPG agencies, helping to build the account as one of the world's strongest brands. He has led the way for one of the industry's most successful integrated cross-platform teams, including advertising, direct marketing, multicultural, internal/employee, experiential, digital, packaging, brand architecture/identity, youth and employment.
In 2007 Verizon tapped McCann to handle its entire assignment across its Wireless, Telecom and Verizon Business units, marking one of the year's biggest new-business win for the agency and industrywide.
Gruhler also serves as the director of the McCann Worldgoup Global Telecom Practice, a group he formed this year with the help of Worldgroup COO, Eric Keshin. The group's mission is to develop the organization's billings in the telecom category and to activate the base of telecom expertise throughout the global organization to track and identify trends and opportunities in the sector.
Those he works with appreciate Gruhler's "team-first" commitment, and the industry has benefited from his passion for developing talent around him. As the director of account management for McCann Erickson in New York, his focus was developing and mentoring talent, which led to his appointment as chair of AAAA's Committee for Account Management. In that capacity, Gruhler will host a national conference this year around the transformation of the role of account management and the implications for its practitioners.
Finding time to give back is a significant priority for Gruhler. He is currently the senior vice president of the New York Ad Club, where he will serve as president next year. He is on the advisory board for the Good Deed Foundation, helping that philanthropic organization to develop its offerings and partnerships with global brands. Gruhler has also played an active role with PENCIL in NYC, developing a partnership with McCann Erickson and the NYC Public Schools to give high school students exposure to the advertising industry.
Thom Gruhler is a Midwest boy who married a Rhode Island girl in 2007. Together he and his wife Catherine spend as much time as they can traveling to see their families and enjoying their shared love of art. He is committed to his yoga practice, which he says keeps him balanced in his career and offsets his love of cooking and wine collecting.
Early in his career Gruhler worked as a "car guy" on several automotive accounts, including Chevrolet for five years and then for Daimler Chrysler, where he built the first-ever national, multicultural dealer group for IPG. He has had varied career assignments, including managing and establishing regional offices, stints as new business director and working with brands such as Barclays, Hewlett Packard, Levi's, Hilton Hotels and Salomon Smith Barney.
As vice president of marketing, non-carbonated beverages, for Pepsi-Cola North America Beverages, Chris Kempczinski is responsible for setting brand strategies and creating marketing and advertising programs for the company's non-carbonated brands, including Aquafina, SoBe, Tropicana juice drinks, Dole single-serve juices, AMP Energy and the brands of the North American Coffee Partnership, its joint venture with Starbucks.
Kempczinski came to PepsiCo in 2000 in the Corporate Strategy & Development group, where he worked on strategy, mergers and acquisitions. Kempczinski was part of the team that orchestrated the acquisition and integration of Quaker Oats in 2002 – a deal that is seen as a defining moment in PepsiCo's history.
Chris Kempczinski has worked on Pepsi's non-carbonated beverage business for the past five years, first as the VP, Aquafina, and in his current role for the past two. Kempczinski oversees 11 different brands and a 350-person organization, with responsibility for overall brand strategy all marketing activities. As part of his portfolio, Kempczinski also has responsibility for PepsiCo's North America joint venture relationship with Starbucks as well as its distribution agreement with Ocean Spray. In 2006, Kempczinski also helped engineer PepsiCo's acquisition of IZZE sparkling juices, based in Boulder, Col.
Outstanding marketing and innovation have been the foundation for Pepsi-Cola's success in non-carbonated beverages, and Kempczinski has brought a high level of insight to help each non-carbonated brand carve out a unique position in the marketplace. These range from Lipton's functional "Tea Can Do That" campaign extolling the virtues of the antioxidants found in tea, to AMP Energy's image-based "AMP Yourself," which is anchored by spokesperson Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Aquafina's "Make Your Body Happy, Drink More Water"—perhaps the brand where Kempczinski has left his most indelible impression.
Chris Kempczinski began his career in brand management at Procter & Gamble, where he worked for four years in its Soap Sector Division on category leaders including Comet, Mr. Clean and Spic 'n Span. All three brands grew during his tenure. Kempczinski left Procter & Gamble to attend Harvard Business School, and following his graduation, he became a management consultant at the Boston Consulting Group, specializing in consumer products and pharmaceuticals, where he supported PepsiCo as well as several other Fortune 50 clients.
In addition to an Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School, Kempczinski also has a Bachelor of Arts in economics from Duke University
Kempczinski is an executive sponsor for the Pepsi-Cola North America Beverages' gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender (GLBT) employee group, also known as EQUAL. As an executive sponsor, Kempczinski meets monthly with employee members of EQUAL to ensure that Pepsi-Cola continues to offer an inclusive work environment that is sensitive to their needs and concerns. Additionally, Kempczinski is responsible for leading Pepsi's GLBT marketing efforts, which currently includes such brands as Diet Pepsi, Izze and Starbucks.
Chris Kempczinski is a married father of two small children, ages six and four. When not growing his businesses, Kempczinski is active in primary education, particularly, the Ann Marie Kempczinski Foundation, which he established in honor of his late mother who was a kindergarten teacher in Cincinnati.

Liz Ross is a sought-after speaker and was named one of Advertising Age's "Women to Watch" in 2008.
Troy Ruhanen is executive vice president, managing director, BBDO North America. But that doesn't begin to do justice to his role and the contributions that he makes to BBDO and his clients' businesses.
There aren't many people who have lived on three continents, run an agency, won Agency of the Year honors and overseen two successful, multibillion dollar mergers in the telecommunications category. But that's Troy Ruhanen, and that's what Ruhanen has done.
Troy Ruhanen oversees BBDO's AT&T assignment: more than $1 billion in billing, over 200 people in three locations and literally thousands of pieces of work a year. He joined BBDO in 2004 to lead Cingular Wireless (now the new AT&T), and under Ruhanen's leadership, Cingular's growth and progress was nothing short of remarkable. During this period, Cingular increased its subscriber base by more than 30 percent, to over 60 million consumers, surpassing Verizon as the number-one wireless carrier. Perceptions on key attributes rose, churn fell, purchase intent went up and the industry noticed, as AT&T laid out $86 billion in 2006 to acquire BellSouth and seize full control of Cingular.
Prior to the purchase of Cingular by AT&T, Ruhanen helped guide Cingular through its own $41 billion acquisition of AT&T Wireless in 2005. He also helped introduce new products and services, such as the Motorola RAZR and ROKR phones, the GoPhone prepaid wireless plan, FamilyTalk and Rollover plans and the "five bars" network. He was involved with efforts to extend sponsorships into entertainment properties like American Idol, Star Wars, NASCAR and NCAA basketball.
Of course, this being BBDO, it's all about "the work, the work, the work." And under Ruhanen, the work on Cingular (and now AT&T) has become the most sought-out advertising in the category. At Cannes, AT&T advertising won Lions: Gold in 2008 and Silver in 2007. Before that, it was awarded Gold Effies for advertising effectiveness for two consecutive years. More Gold followed at the One Show, the Clios and the ADDYs. A GoPhone commercial was among the nominees for a prime-time Emmy. And that's just a few of the advertising accolades.
These results are not surprising, as Ruhanen is no stranger to marketplace success or mergers and acquisitions. For example, prior to joining BBDO, he headed the Leo Burnett agency in Australia from 2000 to 2003. Four times Burnett was named Agency of the Year. And in his final year, Burnett Australia was the most awarded agency at the Cannes Festival. He also orchestrated two of the most successful agency mergers in Australia, according to the Australian Financial Review, with Burnett acquiring Cartwright Williams and then D'arcy. Not bad for someone who was 35 at the time.
Troy Ruhanen began his career as an account executive at BBDO in Brisbane. From 1994 to 2004, he spent 10 years with Leo Burnett Worldwide. As an account supervisor working in Burnett's office in Chicago, he was responsible for all brand development and creative development for Procter & Gamble's Cheer, Luvs and Era brands. Subsequently, he was named regional account director on Procter & Gamble business in Asia Pacific. In 2000, he became the managing director of Burnett's agency in Sydney.
Outside of work, Ruhanen is active in Autism Speaks, serves as a foster parent to Mama Nadong (a child in Africa) and supports various Christian charities, including those that benefit children with disabilities and families in Mongolia.
Back home, Troy Ruhanen has a family of his own. He's married with three children (with another one on the way).
Steve Stoute, founder and chief creative officer of Translation Consultation + Brand Imaging, is the driving force behind one of the leading and most influential brand marketing firms in the industry. The mastermind behind innovative promotions between Fortune 500 companies and superstar celebrities in music, sports, fashion and entertainment, he has led Translation to unprecedented growth and expansion.
Stoute's remarkable ability to create and implement pioneering marketing concepts that establish an authentic connection between an artist and product is the key to his success. His proven track record as both a music label executive and consumer brand marketer has placed him at the forefront of today's popular culture, with unique access to the trendsetting urban youth market. As a result, Stoute has become a virtual hit-maker for many global consumer brands seeking to reach a broader audience, and his groundbreaking campaigns have labeled him the trailblazer of the entertainment marketing field. Among his clients are such as worldwide marketers McDonald's, Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., Samsung and General Motors.
Before forming Translation in 2003, Stoute partnered with the legendary Madison Avenue guru Peter Arnell to establish PASS, a Manhattan-based marketing and advertising firm. At PASS, Stoute conceptualized the silver bullet brand rbk, through which he brokered the enormously successful S. Carter Collection by rbk. As part of a long-term strategic alignment with pop culture on behalf of his client McDonald's, Stoute positioned Justin Timberlake as the embodiment of the "I'm Lovin' It" campaign. Based upon these successes, Stoute reinvested his assets and talents into opening his own marketing firm, Translation Consultation + Brand Imaging. Translation generated strategic partnerships between high-profile artists and blue-chip marketers for many products, including Hewlett-Packard's Harajuku Lovers digital camera with Gwen Stefani, Tommy Hilfiger's True Star fragrance for women with Beyonce, and Chris Brown with the re-launch of Wrigley's Doublemint Gum campaign.
In October 2007, Stoute sold a minority stake of Translation Consultation + Brand Imaging to the Interpublic Group, the third-largest agency company in the world. In 2008, Stoute and Shawn Carter (aka Jay-Z) co-founded Translation Advertising, the advertising division of Translation Consultation + Brand Imaging. Translation Advertising will offer creative advertising services to its clients and allow them to reach the still elusive multicultural consumer.
From 1990 to 1999, Stoute was a top executive at several leading labels in the music industry. At Interscope Geffen A&M Records, Stoute served as president of the Urban Music division and executive vice president, producing bestselling albums from U2, Eve and Limp Bizkit, as well as Eminem's debut album, The Slim Shady LP. Prior to joining Interscope, Stoute was president of Urban Music for Sony Music Entertainment, where he was responsible for launching the music careers of Mariah Carey, Will Smith and Nas. He has also produced several major motion picture soundtracks, such as Wild Wild West, for which he received an American Music Award.
Stoute has also contributed his impressive skills and expertise to a variety of civic causes. He played a key role in the development of minority recruitment campaigns for both the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) and the New York City Police Department. For his work on the "Heroes Wanted" campaign, Stoute received the 2004 Humanitarian Award from the FDNY. In 2003, Stoute served as the co-chairman of the New York City Fresh Air Fund, a nonprofit program offering minority children an opportunity to experience life outside the confines of the inner city. Most recently, Stoute is co-founder of FFAWN (Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now) with Mary J. Blige. He serves on the board of directors to achieve FFAWN's mission to educate and empower women through scholarships, grants and career development opportunities.
Though the nature of media and communications changes drastically every day, Andrew Swinand has proven his ability to stay five steps ahead of the competition on behalf of marketers—inventing new solutions for the industry by reinventing his role within the advertising media business. These days, as newly named president of global operations for worldwide media agency network Starcom MediaVest Group (SMG), he applies his passion for innovation across continents, product categories and cultures—creating unprecedented service and results by reexamining the question of what an agency can and should do for its clients and for consumers.
Swinand's SMG role—adopted in August 2008—entails a focus on building stronger connection infrastructures that continue to advance the company's presence within critical growth markets across the globe. As such, he helps steer global operations forward by fortifying a more powerful presence among the agency's clients and internal team, and leverages his team-building and client-service talents toward strategically unifying the global organization. Specifically, Swinand works with the network's regional CEOs across Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe/Middle East/Africa to fortify SMG offerings and strengthen its client proposition, leveraging assets and building on the strong momentum of these regions.
Along with regional management responsibilities, his role includes the creation of new client-facing service models across the network and the expansion of its successful technology practice. Further, he is charged with working alongside SMG Global CEO Laura Desmond to align and position the network to take advantage of the digital resources that the Publicis Groupe media brands now have access to as part of the recently launched VivaKi operating model—including its Talent Operation and digital Nerve Center resources.
Most recently, Swinand was at Denuo, the media futures consultancy within Publicis Groupe. Prior to his role at Denuo, he was a president at Starcom Worldwide, where he helped secure the Samsung business as well as build a global technology practice. He was also responsible for developing proprietary accountability metrics to measure return-on-objective (ROO) across all client investments, supported by Starcom's extensive media research team, and he pioneered the service models Starcom delivers to Sun Microsystems and Oracle. Swinand will continue to oversee the Nintendo business across Starcom Worldwide and Leo Burnett.
Swinand began his professional career as an account supervisor at BBDO in Los Angeles, then served as a brand manager for P&G's beauty care group, and later became a marketing director for reflect.com. Swinand proudly served his country as a platoon leader in the U.S. Army, after receiving his degree from the Wharton School of Business. While in the Army, he earned the 5th Corps Leadership Award, National Defense Medal, Army Commendation Medal and two Army Achievement Awards for his leadership and service as a platoon leader in Germany.
Regarded as an innovative leader by the industry at large, Swinand has been recognized by Advertising Age as a Media Maven, by Mediaweek as one of the industry's "Power 50," by Media Magazine as a "Rising Star" and by Internationalist magazine as Global Marketing Innovator. He appeared on the Crain's Chicago Business 40 Under 40 list and was also awarded the Chicago Magazine Association's prestigious Harmon Award for excellence in print. He also continues to be dynamic in interactive marketing, having served as a judge for ad:tech as well as serving on the advisory boards of various companies.
Swinand and his wife Laura currently live in Evanston, Illinois, where they both spend a significant amount of time chasing their twins, Tanner and Georgia.

Now What?
Dogfighting's poster child, Michael Vick, leaves prison.

Tough questions. I believe that he has served his time and to a certain extent should be allowed to move on with his life which could include a future with the NFL. The thought of him partering with HSUS disgusts me on multiple levels. I'd rather him just go about playing ball and stay out of trouble. I do not want to see him on PSA's cuddling up with pit bulls promoting HSUS and saying he is sorry and how bad dog fighting is...

I think that someone who was so insensitive to another animals pain in the first place will have a hard time actually undergoing any real change. Most likely he is trying to clear his name so he can play football again. I mean we are talking about systematic torture, abuse and neglect of his dogs here. If a person is ever okay with that then I don't really see him changing his views.

They should have thrown him and his co-defendants in a pit and let the dogs chew on him like he trained them to do to each other.

Those of us who are "dog people" have such a visceral reaction to dog fighting that it's really hard to be objective. My own feelings are very mixed; I don't think Mr. Vick served enough time to begin with, but that's how our judicial system sentenced him. I don't want to see him cuddling up to any animals, either. On the other hand, maybe by participating in PSA's and such, he can actually make a difference. So I don't know--what went on in Mr. Vick's home sickens me beyond belief. But I also want to believe in second chances; redemption IS possible--it just requires more than a good PR campaign. He needs to really step up; otherwise, it's just words.

I have never seen or heard anything of Vick apologizing for what he did to the animals, just patronizing commments to fans, his team etc.
Now the HSUS and PETA are considering him as a spokesperson? I feel like they are exploiting the pitbulls just as much as Vick!

Though I do believe that spending time in jail has it's purpose, I don't believe that it really makes things right. I think that Mr. Vick could make a difference by speaking out to inner city kids about the repercussions he has experienced due to all of this. I don't think him snuggling up to dogs is a great idea - in fact - he should never be around dogs again. But do I think that kids can relate to someone who came from nothing, really moved up and made something of himself in the world and then fell right back down to the bottom - all because of the poor choices he made. Dog fighting is horrible, but I think that the social aspect of it is important to consider. He didn't do these things alone - and kids could use someone to help guide them to choose better friends and make better life decisions.

I think that Vicks shouldn't be let back in the NFL cause he broke the laws and needs to prove that he wouldn't do it again so I think he needs more time out of football to get his self strait.

I think that Michael Vick should not be allowed to play football ever again. He can act sad and dissappointed, but the fact is if he had not been caught innocent animals would still be being abused. It is just not right.

What Michael Vick did was horrible, and no one is debating that. I am intensely in love with my dog and my ferrets, and emotionally I feel that no punishment is great enough to eradicate what this man did to the dogs in his care (or lack thereof). But let's face it. The judicial system dealt with him. Should he be allowed to play football again? What does one thing have to do with another? As a football professional, will he be required to deal with animals? He served his time. He plays football for a living. He needs to earn a living. Let him play. I don't thing the NFL should have gotten involved in this in the first place. They aren't the end-all to animal cruelty. Can they be a vehicle to educate the public? Yes! But the NFL doesn't promote dog fighting. Nor are they in the position to enforce the law. Let's sit back and see what Mr. Vick does. Let's encourage the NFL to educate their players, and in turn the public, about animal cruelty. I know I've done many things in my past that I hope would never hinder my ability to work. I've learned from my mistakes and strive to be a better person. I don't want to be blacklisted from my chosen profession because I did something stupid. The greatest gift we have is the ability to learn and grow and change and forgive. If this man takes even one step toward acknowledging what he did, let us give him a chance!

I am of the opinion that being a star athlete and public figure demands that you have a stricter moral code. Since many of Vicks fans are young children who emulate his behavior, he should have the decency to show them some respect. Too bad he lost his NFL position.

I do not think that he should be able to play football again. I believe him to be a role model to many young individuals who are often quick to mistreat animals anyway. I do not, for one moment, think that his attempts at coming to the aid of dogs is sincere. I believe it to be one more way to try to get back in the good graces of the football organization. Just look at him, he is not an honest person. There is no good in those eyes.

I don't know if Michael Vick is sincere or just trying to win some brownie points with the NFL. I agree with the NFL's decision to suspend him. What he did was a felony in some states and many employers would fire employees for commiting a felony. The truth is, it's a privelage to play in the NFL and if you abuse that privelage, you should not be allowed to return. Unfortunately, they will probably let him back since he's a good football player. I think he should have to serve his time doing community servece at an animal shelter and clean up dog crap all day. He definitely deserves a lot worse than he got.

Michael Vick should have big NFL players pick him up & slam him down on the ground over & over (with no pads), then drown him & if it doesn't work the first time throw him on the ground & resume later. After that, put electricity in his body and then hang him. Then, tie him to a rape stand and then make him fight people with his teeth removed & his hands tied behind his back! This is the only way Vick will truly understand what he put those dogs through.

My post:
Thank you for your comment Jennifer I couldn't agree more. Now that Jim Gorant's book has been released, detailing all the gut wrenching, depraved acts that Michael Vick and his rejects inflicted on innocent dogs, I can confidently say that your comment is entirely appropriate. I also think that everyone who is compelled to weigh in should first read the book and only then make a statement. I believe that after reading the accounts of this horrible story many commenting here who are quick to forgive and forget would change how they feel about Michael Vick.

I posted earlier, and I have a feeling my post was taken in the wrong spirit, even though no one was cruel enough to say so. I had just read this http://blog.halopets.com/2009/06/05/former-dogfighter/ before posting and thought maybe I should have an open mind. We are all a product of our upbringing and environment, and not all of us are as educated in the things we as pet lovers take for granted or just simply do as an innate part of ourselves. Change is possible. Michael Vick did a terrible thing, but should we judge him as being beyond the point of no return? He's had a long time thinking about what he did, he's lost everything he wanted in life, and he is a villian. The Michael Vick who fought dogs is certainly not the role model I want for my son, but the Michael Vick who has learned from his mistakes certainly could be the right role model for kids who came from the same environment. We are so quick to judge things the things with which we disagree, even if we ourselves have never been there. Do we really believe he is going to jump right back into dogfighting? He could be the best spokesperson we as anti-cruelty crusaders could possibly want. He's been there, done that, and been punished accordingly. Stringing him up for a beating is counterproductive. Encouraging him to speak out for the cause of the dogs is a much better option. Who is better than someone like him, someone who has been punished and learned to educate against what he has done? So I say, let him play. And if the NFL is to be involved, why not issue public education messages during commercial breaks starring him when the largest audience of potential offenders may be watching?

The NFL should not allow him to play again. He is a criminal and a murderer. Everything he has done to those dogs and others and everything he took from them, he should be punished by having everything he worked for taken from him.

The acts of violence that Vick displayed against those defenseless dogs are indications of an antisocial personality disorder. These people lack the ability to feel remorse for the suffering they bring to others, human or animal, and often do not fear any consequences. There is no cure for this disorder. People with this disorder cannot be "educated" or punished into feeling remorse. Therefore, there is no incentive not to harm again. My opinion is that it is more likely that he only feels resentment towards the dogs and a society that he perceives values a dog's life more than his. As a resident of the town where he grew up, I can tell you that that is what I have heard from many of his supporters. I hope he has been required to undergo psychological testing to help determine a mental health diagnosis before he is released. He may deserve a second chance to live a law-abiding life, but he certainly should never be allowed to own animals or work with children/teens in an unsupervised setting. I hope I am wrong, but I believe it's only a matter of time before he acts out again.

Prettier than Milan and less busy with tourists than Venice, Verona is one of Italy's most immediately likeable cities. Best known internationally as the home of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Verona is a city whose ancient past is instantly visible.
Flights to Verona take you direct to this historical heart of northern Italy: its Roman arena, the site of one of Europe's best-known opera festivals, remains almost intact, while grand Renaissance spaces such as its central Piazza della Signoria still act as an open-air living room for people-watching locals. Verona also a great place for strolling and shopping, whether you prefer exploring the designer boutiques of Corso Porta Botari or eating local dishes such as bigoli pasta with duck in the restaurants lining the River Adige. Verona's environs are as popular with visitors as the city itself, with the mountain-lined shores of Lake Garda so close to the city that it forms the backdrop for much of the area's summer nightlife.

The holidays are upon us, and chances are you've been busy shopping or making travel plans. This time of year is also a super busy time for businesses helping people send presents all over the world.
We know the post office gets slammed this time of year, but they aren't the only ones. There is a major FedEx hub here in the valley on the west side of town.
This is one of the most happening spots in the valley right now -- the Phoenix hub of FedEx Ground. You might say it gets a little crazy.
But manager Matt Missigman makes sure it's an organized crazy.
He took me on a tour of his plant today, and what an operation.
Packages come in on trucks from all over the country. Big packages are put on big conveyor belts, read by laser scanners, and sent to the right spots.
Smaller packages are sorted by hand, and they even use cool little finger lasers to track them.
Those small packages are then bagged and sent to the right trucks.
This is the company's busiest time of year. We are talking a lot of packages.
"We're averaging about 280 to 300 thousand packages a day... Just a couple weeks ago we were at about 180,000," said Missigman.
And you see some odd things on the conveyor belt, even a tire!
More than 500 workers here make sure everything gets through.
They even let me take stab at sorting some small boxes -- grabbing them off the line, scanning them in, putting them on the right shelves.
"You did okay for your first day -- you just need a little more practice that's it."
Probably a lot more practice. These people know their stuff.
Believe it or not, this place is about to get a lot busier. The heaviest FedEx day of the year is December 10. They will handle 19 million packages nationwide that day.

Our favorite comedic reality show host is about to hit the small screen again in the next season of America's Got Talent, but behind the scene rumors are flying that Nick Cannon and his wife Mariah Carey are having serious marital problems.

America's Got Talent Season 8 Finale: Voters Surprise Again With An Unexpected WinnerSeptember 19, 2013 08:18:44 by Stephanie Gustafson

But as much as we love Cami Bradley, Jimmy Rose and the opera singers of Forte, we're glad to say that the two cynical judges were proven wrong — this year's winner is most definitely not a singer.

Ben Francisco put an exclamation point on his fantastic spring training yesterday, hitting a three-run homer as the Phils topped the Astros 7-6 to end their Grapefruit League schedule. Francisco came into camp looking to show he could be the everyday guy in right field for the Phils this season and pounded the ball, posting a 385/467/677 line over 65 at-bats. His 1.144 OPS was the best among Phillies that got at least 10 plate appearances.
Ben Francisco's full name is Louis Ben Francisco. So, when you get right down to it, it's really not all about the Benjamin (unless it's all about someone else).
Nate Bump got the start for the Phillies in the game and allowed a run on eight hits and a walk over five innings. Baez walked one in a scoreless sixth and Contreras got one out in the seventh before Derrick Loop (really!) took over for him. Loop, Michael Sisco and Ebelin Lugo finished out the game for the Phils. They combined to allow five runs in 2 2/3 innings, with Lugo and Loop both charged with runs and Cisco throwing a scoreless frame.
Contreras threw just one pitch in the game because the mound was wet due to heavy rain.
Victorino 2-for-3 and drove in a pair of runs.
Castillo was 1-for-2 with a double and a walk. 4-for-19 (.211) with four walks with the Phils, Martinez 0-for-1. Young 0-for-1. Mayberry 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Gload was the DH in his continuing effort to demonstrate he's not a right fielder.
The Phils went 20-13 in official spring games and will play the Pirates tonight and Wednesday in Citizens Bank Park. Oswalt is expected to start. Hamels will start on Wednesday with Blanton likely to throw a few innings in relief.
Utley says his goal is to be back by the All-Star break. Amaro says he won't go on the 60-day DL.
The article linked above says that Michael Stutes will be with the team for the two games with the Pirates, but isn't likely to start the year with the Phils.
This says the Phillies have signed Kevin Frandsen to a minor league deal. The righty Frandsen has played every position in the majors except catcher and center field, posting a 243/302/335 career line over 626 plate appearances. He turns 29 in May.
