Combine Control Systems provides services in model-based engine calibration and control design. Model-based engine calibration uses grey-box models of the engine, with parameters that are fitted to measurement data. The models are then used to calibrate and optimise the engine control system. This is done for both static phenomena, such as torque model and target VVT, and dynamic phenomena, such as load calculation and load prediction. The models are also used for control design, virtual sensors, and robust design. The company's consultants also use their know-how in modeling and control design for climate control and process industry applications.
Combine Control Systems provides services primarily for the automotive industry, including both manufacturers and suppliers, but also for the process industry. The most important tools used are MATLAB and Simulink. For modeling and calibration, they make heavy use of the Model-Based Calibration Toolbox. Other important tools are Optimization Toolbox and Statistics Toolbox.

Over the years, training consultants have seen numerous organizations trying to move the culture of their operations and maintenance departments toward that ever-elusive goal of "world class" (total quality, best of something, excellence something, etc.). This typically involves changing a reactive culture to one that embodies a proactive approach, where elements such as planning and scheduling, procedures, inventory control, preventive maintenance, root cause failure analysis, workforce development, et al prevail as key considerations. There are of course many other elements and subsets to those cited, but let's focus on workforce development and training–specifically reactive training.
Many of you may be scratching your heads because this term is unfamiliar to you. Rest assured, though, that you have been a victim, quite unaware, and likely are either perpetuating or participating in this type of training. As the title suggests, reactive training can be categorized as a cancer. Sounds harsh, doesn't it? But, then, think of how a cancer impacts a healthy individual–intrusive, quietly spreading, destroying vital organs, affecting the quality of life, destroying relationships and lives and placing tremendous strains on the financial wherewithal of those affected to deal with it.
Simply stated, reactive training is a general lack of training or an intervention that tries to increase the skill and/or knowledge level of an individual/department only AFTER a negative event has occurred.Notice the inclusion of words and phrases such as "lack, "tries" and "after a negative event." Now, having defined reactive training, let's apply the cancer metaphor. As you read this passage, keep in mind that each statement involves a significant training element.
With this scenario, one can easily see how the cancer can start, propagate and grow. One also can see that recovery will not be easy and likely will be very painful.
Let's lighten up
No matter in what part of the country we live, who among us has not heard about comedian Jeff Foxworthy's particular brand of humor? Most have probably heard some of his "You might be a redneck if. . ." jokes. Giving due credit to Mr. Foxworthy (and to paraphrase him), the same approach could be taken to the topic of reactive training. See below:
Your training might be reactive if. . .
Seriously, though
The reactive training approach is far too prevalent. We've heard the difference between reactive and proactive maintenance–it's much the same for training. In fact, this kind of training, or a general lack of training, can be far worse than reactive maintenance.
Although reactive maintenance is far from being a desirable approach to equipment maintenance, it can keep a plant operating, albeit not very effectively or efficiently. On the other hand, how well or how long do you think an asset, even under heroic or reactively maintained circumstances, is going to run under the direction of someone who is improperly or inadequately trained? Not very! Still, it happens far more frequently than most people think or want to admit.
There is a predisposition on the part of management and engineering departments to think/suggest that the latest computer-based whiz-bang or electronic gizmotron will be the next "be-all and end-all" to whatever ails your plant, including work performance and training problems. Do we have news for them! Such items are only part of the answer–maybe even the wrong answer–and often end up adding to the problem. Not only has your workforce not been trained well in the past, now it's having to deal with additional technical training demands that likely require an even higher degree of sophistication, knowledge and skills.How well do think that's going to go?
Consider the following: Golf is an absolute passion for many. So, what's more important, the skill of the player or the equipment the player uses? Some will argue for the equipment. "It's all in the equipment." Others will argue that a good golfer will make lousy equipment look great. Golf actually serves as a good metaphor to discuss some of these issues. With each scenario listed in Table I on the previous page, ask yourself if a difference can be made by adjusting equipment or doing something about the competency of an individual. Notice the inclusion of a comparable business equivalent.
If you look at these scenarios objectively, it wouldn't be hard to imagine a player with a handicap approaching 30 (not good for those unfamiliar with the game). No amount of expensive, cutting-edge equipment technology is going to rescue this individual under any circumstances. In the game of golf, handicaps provide mediocre and poor players with a means of competing with individuals who are much more competent.Unfortunately, business can't "level" work or performance expectations in invoking a handicap to make up for a deficiency. Neither will automation or a significant capital project that replaces some antiquated equipment. So, getting back to our original premise, you be the judge.
People want to do the right thing and do a proper job. Certainly, there's a sense of pride in achieving this and an added sense of job security if one knows that (s)he is accomplishing assigned tasks as expected, or is keeping his/her skills updated to match the requirements of the equipment that they are running or maintaining. How can one reasonably expect this to be so if the time is NOT invested in properly train ingyour employees?
Basic human nature and psychology suggests that there's nothing more frustrating for an individual than to try to accomplish a task when you:
Here's the message you give the troops with proactive training:We care about you and we want to help you do your job better by providing you with training that enables you to problem solve. . . order the right parts. . . predict issues. . . increase service/product quality. . .do the job right the FIRST time. . . do the job safely! Nothing you do at your plant will send a stronger message and have a more profound impact than to recognize the need for effective, timely, appropriate training. The results are easily recognized. They include, among other things:
Experts suggest that reactive maintenance costs three to five times what proactive maintenance could have prevented. What, then, does reactive training cost? The numbers vary greatly and are influenced by a diverse factors, including type of industry, plant age, product type, regulatory oversight and area demographics, to name a few. I suggest that the variable are comparable when comparing a proactive and reactive training approach. Of course, if you don't have a significant annual training budget, the ratio might be significantly different. There are a few areas that tend to be fairly common across a broad range of industries regardless of products. So, let's restate the question: How much does training really cost you? For clues, see Table II. Be honest when you look at Table II. There's a tendency to think that these simply are "the cost of doing business."
Granted, there definitely is a cost of doing business, but not for any one of the listed items. As mentioned previously, type of industry, public risk and the severity of the parameter have significant bearing on cost (operations and maintenance budgets, among other). Each of these parameters can easily be addressed and rectified with an appropriate and targeted training intervention. When you think about the costs associated with any of these parameters, it should become clear that an appropriate budget expenditure would be easily justifiable-and would likely be significantly less than what your reactive world is currently looking like.
Improvements in efficiency, quality, reliability and safety can certainly justify investment in a proactive training approach, something that will exorcise any reactive cancer once and for all. MT

MRP has fired another salvo in the ongoing 2x ("two-by") mountain bike drivetrain revolution with a first-ever chainguide designed specifically to work with the most popular 2x gear combinations.
The creatively named "2x Chainguide" retails for $150 and is available now in black or white. It can be run with or without the 43-gram bash plate, and fits to any breed of ISCG mount, or to any other frame by mounting the guide plate behind a standard external bottom bracket bearing cup.
The patent-pending dual-pulley design is 9- and 10-speed compatible and makes for quiet, low-drag chain retention in either front gear. The unit is offered in two sizes—39-42 or 36-38—depending on big ring size.
"These new drivetrains created new challenges to chain management with their unique gear ratios, chain lines, and impact protection requirements," says MRP. "The 2x solves all of these challenges."
Instead of an outer capture ring as on some systems, the 2x Chainguide relies on its dual-pulley design and the tension of the rear derailleur to keep the chain from going astray. And in the event the chain does get thrown off to the inside, a raised inner fin on the mounting plate prevents chains from getting sucked in between the crank and the bottom bracket.

Who: "Weird Al" Yankovic
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday
Where: Orpheum Theater, 409 S. 16th St.
Tickets: $30 to $40 at
www.ticketomaha.com, the Ticket Omaha box office or by phone at 402-345-0606
Information: www.omahaperformingarts.org or 402-345-0202
"Weird Al" favorites
Nearly everyone who has heard "Fat" or "White & Nerdy" has laughed at the silliness that Weird Al Yankovic delivers.
Parodied artists — including Lady Gaga, Kurt Cobain and Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo — have often praised his work.
"I actually really appreciate the philosophy behind the song," Gaga told Rolling Stone about Yankovic's "Perform This Way." "It's actually very empowering."
We spoke to Yankovic's fans as well as a few local musicians about their favorite parody and what they love about it.
"Weird Al was my first musical love. I listened to all of his records on repeat and to this day usually sing his versions of songs over the originals.
"My favorite Weird Al song is 'Dare to be Stupid.' It's cool because it's an original inspired by Devo. I lived by this song and still do today. I also love his weird polka medleys. Yo, ding dong man, ding dong, yo."
— Nik Fackler of Icky Blossoms
" 'White & Nerdy' is his masterpiece."
— Jeremy Morong of Omaha
" 'The Saga Begins' mainly because I love everything 'Star Wars,' but it's also kind of cool that it covers the 'Phantom Menace' in five and a half minutes, as opposed to the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" parody which is just a joke with no real flow or logic behind it other than goofing on Nirvana and the grunge genre."
— Colleen Seabaugh of Omaha
" 'Amish Paradise.' It's from around the time I really started getting into music. I remember Coolio's original 'Gangsta's Paradise' but wasn't into rap. Then I heard 'Amish Paradise' and thought, 'This is funny, I like it!' Plus, the juxtaposition of Coolio and Weird Al adds to the humor."
— Ben Goetz of Omaha
" 'Smells Like Nirvana.' Grunge exploded onto the scene right when I was in high school, and my friends and I listened to 'Off the Deep End' a ton. Plus the cover and the video were perfect. But I'm a huge Weird Al fan (I've met him twice). I believe this will be my fifth or sixth time seeing him."
— Darrin Roitstein of Omaha
Al Yankovic is a genius.
Who else but Weird Al, as he's known, could turn Michael Jackson's "Beat It" into "Eat It" or The Kinks' "Lola" into "Yoda?"
Even Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, whose "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was turned into "Smells Like Nirvana," wrote in his journal that "Weird Al Yankovic is America's modern pop-rock genius."
Since his career began more than 30 years ago, Yankovic has made a living making "twisted" versions, as he called them, of popular songs — as well as quite a few original songs done in the style of various artists and genres.
Songs such as "Another One Rides the Bus," "Fat," "Amish Paradise" and "White & Nerdy" have sent Yankovic's audiences into fits of giggles since he sent "My Bologna" (a parody of The Knack's "My Sharona") to the Dr. Demento radio show in 1979.
While Yankovic was in Montana preparing for a performance there, we talked to him about his elaborate concerts, his longtime band, how he writes a parody and how the changing music industry may change how he releases his funny songs.
Q. Since your songs can be rock and then rap and then polka, is it tough to jump from genre to genre during your shows?
A. It's fun for me. I like the show being eclectic and not being tied to one particular genre. And we'll do a quick film montage between some songs, so I get a minute to collect my thoughts and get into a new character.
Q. You have a big, fun production. How much changes tour to tour?
A. I try to make the tours as different as possible from tour to tour. There are a number of songs that the fans would be rioting in the street if we wouldn't play, so any given tour is going to be, at the most, half new. We have so many greatest hits that are mandatory.
And even though I've literally played some of them more than 1,000 times, I'm having a great time.
Q. At this point, could you just let the crowd sing the biggest songs? Do they ever drown you out?
A. I don't know. I've got in-ear monitors, so I can't tell if they're singing or not. No, I do hear the crowd, especially in the front row. They're like human teleprompters.
It's pretty daunting. At the beginning of every tour, I always get a bit of stage fright because I know I'm gonna forget something. It's not a matter of if I forget, it's when I forget. We have backup plans if things go horribly wrong. But we're at a point in the tour now — the Alpocalypse Tour has been going for the last couple years — that now it's muscle memory. We don't have to worry too much with lapses of the mind.
Q. Jeff Tweedy from Wilco once said every time he writes new lyrics, an old set of lyrics is erased in his head.
A. I only have so much RAM in my brain! (laughs) I've got about enough for the show and that's about it.
Q. I think most people expect that your music is going to be funny, but they gloss over how good your music is. You and your band are tight players.
A. I really appreciate that. A lot of people, because it's comedy, they think it's maybe not up to par or not as good as "serious music," and they're denigrated because there happens to be humor in the music. As I'm sure you've realized, the band does everything from gangsta rap to polka music and everything in between. They seem to pull it off.
I feel very fortunate to have found my band very early on in my career, and I think they happen to be some of the very best musicians in the world.
Q. Have you ever had an artist tell you that you did the song better than they did?
A. (laughs) I've heard comments sort of like that. I probably shouldn't say who said that (laughs) out of deference to them, but I've gotten a lot of compliments from the original artists.
Q. Does the immediacy of YouTube and streaming on the Web help with the impact of a parody song?
A. It does. I'm probably going to be doing more of that, I'm guessing, after my contract is up. I have one more album left on my contract. The model of waiting until I have 12 songs and putting them all out at once, that used to work, but now in the days of YouTube, people expect more immediacy, and it's hard for all 12 of those songs to be viewed as timely and topical. That's a hard thing to achieve.
I've done a little of that in the past. Sort of as an experiment, I did a parody of T.I.'s song called "Whatever You Like." My parody was also called "Whatever You Like." I was able to write, produce and release that within two weeks of getting the idea for it, which was great. My parody was out when the original song was still No. 1 on the charts. I haven't done that since then because I'm still within the old CD model.
I don't want to commit to anything, but I'm inclined to be more of a singles artist after my contract is up.
I want to leave all my options open. I have to be very careful what I say because I said something to that effect a couple months ago, and then there were headlines all over: "Al said his next album will be his last." (laughs) Yeah, Al's retiring and living in a cave now.
Q. Does it seem to you that there hasn't been as much comedy music in the last few decades? You seem to have cornered the market on comedic music.
A. There certainly has been a lot of other comedic artists. The Lonely Island is doing quite well. I love those guys. Tenacious D, Flight of the Conchords and a billion people on YouTube are doing funny music.
But I've sort of been the face of parody for the last couple of decades. I get the credit or the blame for a lot of parodies that aren't even mine. I sort of had the field to myself at the beginning of my career.
Of course, with the Internet, everybody can upload their parodies. It's become a little bit harder for me to be unique. Well, it's basically impossible at this point. (laughs)
Q. Have you written a song and then gone to YouTube and found the same thing?
A. I used to check and I don't any more. Every time I come up with an idea, I think, "I wonder if anyone else has thought of this." The answer is always, "Yes." (laughs) The Internet is a big place, and somebody somewhere has thought of it. I've learned at this point to just put on blinders and do what I do and hope that my work will stand out from sheer merit alone.
Q. Have you worked on a new record at all?
A. Yeah, I'm halfway done with it. I have all the originals done. I've got the first six songs in the can. I haven't focused too much on the parodies yet, but that's the next step.
Q. Where does the process start for your originals?
A. A lot of times, I'll keep a document on my computer of things that will be fun topics to write a song about. Or situations or basically a one-line description of, "This would be a funny song." I'll keep another list of genres or artists whose genre or style I might want to appropriate. A lot of times, I'll draw a line from column A to column B and see what makes the most sense. Or what makes the least sense (laughs) for comic effect. That's usually how we do it.
When I first started out, I did a lot of original songs, which were true originals. Lately, I found I enjoy doing the pastiches more. I really like writing the song in the style of another artist. I try to get inside their mind and use their same kind of stylistic quirks and write a song as they would except a little more sick and twisted.

It was very exciting!
Several high-profile telecom carriers have signalled their interest in Ubuntu Touch, Canonical's mobile platform.

Ubuntu's convergent goal is to have one OS running across multiple devices. No separate forks; no custom remixes, just one Ubuntu, with different faces depending on the screen it's being viewed on.
Having trouble trying to mouth the Google Nexus 4 on Ubuntu? Judging by our post-bag over the last few months you wouldn't be alone.
After an update today, Lubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, the LXDE Ubuntu flavour, has switched to Firefox as the default web browser, replacing Chromium, which is a bit of a surprise, considering that Ubuntu 13.10 may switch from Firefox to Chromium.

Google this week took the wraps off of the Nexus 7, a $200 mini-tablet. It's easy to see what Nexus 7 does to Amazon: it forces the $200 Kindle Fire into obscurity.
But what about Apple?
There's been lots of talk about whether Apple will launch a 7-inch tablet that goes head to head with the Fire and now the Nexus 7.
Steve Jobs famously said a 7-inch tablet is a non-starter, because the icons on the screen would be too small for a great experience.
But as long-term Apple watchers know, a Steve Jobs "no" sometimes actually meant little more than "not today" — he reversed himself to put video on an iPod (which he once said people wouldn't want) and to launch the iPhone (which he implied Apple wasn't working on).
But then there's the matter of practicality. The Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 today are $200 for a 7-inch device. At that price, Amazonand Google can't be making real money on the hardware. (In an interview with ATD's Ina Fried, Google's Andy Rubin said they're selling the Nexus 7 at cost). Amazon has made it clear that the Fire's purpose is to drive media sales and loyalty, not to make money on hardware.
I find it hard to imagine Apple would want to get into that kind of game. Apple makes money selling devices. That's its main thing. Aside from the occasional hobby, it doesn't use hardware to sell media or software or services. Apple certainly would have little incentive to undercut its own margins (and profitability) by selling an iOS device for cheap, just to compete with rivals who aren't making money anyway.
So does this mean Apple will leave the mini-tablet category to others? I'm not so sure.
Let's ponder: What kind of touch device could Apple build for $200 or $250? We don't have to guess. Right now Apple's got the iPod Touch with a 3.5-inch screen at $200, and the iPad 2 with a 9.7-inch screen at $400. The current iPod Touch design is almost two years old. It's conceivable that Apple could build a $200 5-inch iPod Touch, or a $250-$300 7-inch iPod Touch.
And really, isn't that what we're talking about here? I've spent some time with the Kindle Fire and a little with the Nexus 7, and I've got to say: they don't feel like full-fledged tablets to me. They actually feel more like big iPod Touches than small iPads.
Considering the fact that Apple has been steering iPod buyers toward the Touch for years now (it's more than half of all iPod units), and considering the iPad price strategy seems to be following the iPhone (charge $100 less for last year's model), it might make most sense for Apple to address the mini-tablet market by leaving the iPad out of it.
Perhaps the iPod will do the job.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
The Moving Gallery: Beyond Survival
Your Rating
How thrilling to see a group of 12 teenagers turning their frustrations into art. Whether questioning existence alone in a spotlight, or singing and dancing together in syncopated rhythm, their commitment to performance is riveting.
Using music, dance, video projection and spoken-word poetry, these teens weave together a tapestry of satire, inquiry and longing. They challenge any preconceptions the audience might have about teens. They tap into what must be fairly universal dissatisfaction about modern, urban life, such as being turned into a zombie by consumerism.
"What is the point of being here at all?" several of the performers ask. Each time the answer is different but always poignant and hopeful. Please note: I have no idea why there is a mature audience label in the program. Kids as young as 10 would enjoy this show.
— Ben Wiebe
From the Fringe program:
The Indian Residential School history is not an "Indian problem" but rather, it is a Canadian wound, one that we must all heal from. Through this spoken-word-based piece, we witness our shared point in history and move to create a new future, one that speaks to the creation of a country that embraces us in all our perfect diversities.

DAR MuseumPeriod Rooms
The Georgia room is modeled after a room from Peter Tondee's tavern in Savannah, Georgia. The tavern, no longer standing, was in business from 1770-1785. Objects seen in the room are based on Tondee's probate inventory. Taverns fulfilled numerous functions providing food, drink, lodging, and rooms for entertainment and meetings. Tondees tavern served as a meeting place for the Sons of Liberty, and was the site of the raising of the first Liberty Pole and the first reading of the Declaration of Independence in Georgia. After Peter Tondees death, his widow, Lucy Mouse Tondee, operated the tavern until 1783.

Every month, Toronto's The Stop Community Food Centre hosts a themed multi-course dinner in its greenhouse located at Wychwood Barns. You can come to the dinner as a guest, sit down at a flower and candle bedecked table in the greenhouse (a lovely setting) and sip on wine paired with each course…or you could do what I did and take the kitchen option.
I showed up around 2pm to the prep kitchen - that's 4 ½ hours before the first guests even took a nibble of their h'or dourves. After introducing myself to the two chefs, Chris Brown and Bertrand Alèpèe, I hung out in the kitchen with them, chatting and observing what they were doing: Chris was prepping the octopus for the 2nd course carpaccio and Bert was tying up his smoked paprika scented haddock sausages for the 4th course cassoulet. But I didn't come here to just hang out: I was handed an apron and told about my first task – making the beignet dough for the night's dessert.
I followed the recipe instructions to the letter and skeptically showed the results to Chris. It didn't look the way it should have – it was dense, tough and a bit lumpy instead of smooth and supple. Chris didn't look too hopeful and I anxiously assured myself I didn't mess it up since I followed the instructions exactly. We put it aside with marginal hopes that the rest will help turn the dough around.
I was given a couple more tasks that I was confident I wouldn't screw up and while prepping ingredients for the appetizers, I chatted with Chris and Bert about what they were working on. Chris was slicing a tray of squid ink polenta into batons that was going to be served with the octopus carpaccio. Bert was wrapping swordfish in nori, a play on a sushi roll, and getting ready to dredge them in panko breadcrumbs for deep frying. Chris handed me the squid ink polenta to try and my response was that I don't like squid ink. I don't know if it was the look on his face or me realizing that I sounded like I was five years old but I realized that I should probably be more open to tasting food If I'm going to be hanging out in the kitchen with these two chefs. I changed my answer pretty quickly and gave it a try. And to my surprise I liked it.
Closer to the start of dinner time, Chris asked me to try again with the beignet dough. I added warm water to the yeast and we waited for something to happen. The mixture should have become bubbly, Chris said, but nothing was happening. Was that the problem? We dumped it out and tried a third time. This time the yeast took. I pushed through the rest of the recipe, using a bit less flour this time (trusting my instincts and not necessarily the recipe to the letter) and the dough was perfectly soft and tender.
Guests began to arrive, the pace picked up in the kitchen and the courses started to come together. During the dinner rush, I helped with whisking this and plating that, asked questions and received thorough, patient answers and the best part, felt like I belonged there hanging out with Chris and Bert.
What was for dinner?1st course: Pumpkin and Mussel Bisque Pumpkin was pureed with mussels and a seafood stock to make the soup. Toasted pumpkin seeds, trout roe, and watercress added nutty, salty and bright green flavours to the richly flavoured bisque.
2nd course: Octopus CarpaccioThe octopus was sliced and arranged with raw fennel slivers, smoked red and yellow cherry tomatoes, and batons of fried squid ink polenta.
3rd course: Swordfish 'Sushi-roll' The swordfish, wrapped in nori and coated with panko breadcrumbs were then flash fried so that the outside was crispy but the swordfish was left raw. The sushi-roll was served a wasabi buerre blanc and with these amazing petite gnocchi that were deep fried (instead of boiled). The gnocchi were puffy and golden, tossed with green onion, salt and herbs and completely addictive. I'm definitely going to try this dish at home.
4th course: Seafood CassouletThis dish was Bert's take on a cassoulet, with seafood instead of the traditional meats. The haddock sausages he made earlier that day were partnered with clams and squid and served with intensively savoury white beans. This dish was beautiful.
5th course: DessertThe last course was dessert and it featured my beignets! The dough was rolled out and cut into perfect squares (not rectangles as Chris corrected me) and then fried. Once they puffed out and were golden brown they were pulled out of the oil and then dusted with powdered sugar. I pulled it off! Oh and Chris and Bert also made some stuff for dessert. The beignets were served with a seabuckthorn berry puree, a salted caramel mousseline and a nutella mousse.
How was my day and night spent in the kitchen? I loved it. I learned a lot (I can't wait to try out some new skills at home), tried new foods, had good fun, and thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with Chris and Bert. Even though I started out a bit anxious, especially after the dough debacle, I soon came around to feel confident and comfortable in the kitchen with these two guys. And how was the food? Delicious.
The next Food for Change themed dinner is a Global Holiday Party scheduled for December 20th! Not only are the events yummy fun but they also support The Stop's programs that fight hunger and help build the community. You can find out more info here.

Does anybody really know who Quinn Perkins is? It doesn't appear that the other characters on "Scandal" do. So what does Katie Lowes, the actress who plays Quinn, think?
"There is this really dark little section of [Quinn's] heart and her mind that I think because she's had so many horrible things happen to her that when the roles are reversed and she gets to inflict that on someone else," Katie tells TVFanatic.com.
"She's also an overachiever. Like, she loves to be amazing at her job. That's why she became a hacker so quickly and how she got responsibility from Huck so quickly.
"So when Charlie gives her the assignment to inject this dude and put him out, she's like, 'Yes, someone is giving me a job. Someone's giving me an opportunity to prove myself, and not only do I get to prove myself but I'm going to kick ass at this job and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.' Which she does and she's psyched about it and then she quickly realizes 'oh, no!'"
Katie Lowes joins Steve Edwards and Lisa Breckenridge on Good Day L.A.

Faced with increasingly negative perception by the public, banks must nor shy away from using social media to interact with their customers, and in some cases completely reinvent their brand.
That was the takeaway from a study of how top banks use the social media channel, conducted by New York-based research and strategy consulting firm Change Sciences Group.
The study looked at how 22 leading banks, credit unions and investment firms approach the social space in a variety of benchmarks.
USAA and Ally Bank were the top firms in the ranking of banks using social media to interact with customers. Steve Ellis, a partner with Change Sciences, says one of the main factors in what separated USAA, Ally and the other banks that scored well from those who didn't was authenticity. Ellis says banks must avoid merely having "placeholder" social media presences, or setting up auto responses to customer queries.
Ellis further notes that banks who successfully use social media not only take the time to personally address customer grievances, but to create online communities they foster and engage with.
Adds Pamedla Pavilscak, an author of the report, "Part of this trend is people banding together online to encourage things like saving, budgeting, and smart investing. Financial firms are beginning to think of ways to tap into this, and social media is the place where it's happening."
Ultimately, for a bank to best utilize social media, "It has to be a top-down concerted effort in the organization," notes Ellis. "These social channels are just another channel through which you are going interact with your customers. It's just as important as the branch channel or the telephone channel, and in many ways it's more important because its so public."
Another key aspect for banks to effectively utilize social media is to not try and control the entire narrative, Ellis says. For example, he notes that USAA and Ally both allow customer reviews, something many banks remain leery of.
"Most banks don't want to open that up," he says. "There a real fear there, but it shouldn't be that way.

McKegg ready to make most of chance with Leafs
For Greg McKegg, nothing has necessarily come easy in his hockey career. Â A slow start to his rookie campaign in Erie, followed by a knee injury which threatened the start of his season this past year, McKegg began the year as a winger for the Erie Otters that ISS ranked in the 90′s.
It was something that McKegg couldn't not think about, no matter how much he tried.
"It's something you try not to think about too much really, but you can't help but look. Â It was disappointing to see that for sure, but I think it gives you that edge to work harder and show people that you deserve to be higher up on the list."
And that is exactly what he did.
Being described by some in the hockey circles as a perennial underdog, McKegg did the only thing he knew how to do. Â Work hard.

Interview by Shelley DuBois, reporter
Valero 's (VLO) William Klesse is coming up on his fifth year as CEO, where he's worked for over 40 years. He offers some insight about how his company and the energy sector have navigated the recession, and why refining companies like Valero behave differently in the market than companies that also do exploring and refining, like BP. Klesse also talks about what energy sector investors might want to look for in 2011:
Fortune: You've been CEO of this company on either side of the recession. How do you lead during tough times?
Klesse: One thing you would probably ask me is did I see this big downturn coming, and the answer would be of course not. But we did always feel that even in the golden age of refining, it would not stay as high as it was in 2005-2007. What we didn't see was the complete collapse that we had in September 2008.

MONTREAL, Que. -- Quebec truckers whose Christmas wish list includes a new Kenworth vocational truck could save $1,000 on the purchase if they belong to the province's L'Association Nationale des Camionneurs Artisans (ANCAI).
The rebate applies to Kenworth trucks used for the transportation of gravel, asphalt, sand, rock and snow, with models including the T800 and W900. To qualify, buyers must show their ANCAI membership card to the Kenworth dealer at time of purchase in 2013.
"We appreciate the loyalty of our vocational customers in Quebec," said Alan Fennimore, Kenworth vocational marketing manager. "We hope ANCAI members will take advantage of this special rebate program in 2013 by considering the T800 and W900 for their next truck purchase."
A single customer can take advantage of the offer on up to three qualifying trucks per year. The truck chassis must have a list price of at least $165,000 to qualify.
ANCAI represents small trucking companies and independent truck drivers in the province of Quebec and has more than 5,000 members. The group's membership specializes in vocational applications.

The summer doldrums are in full swing, and the persistent winds have limited the numbers of fishermen. A few stripers of school size continue to be taken on mudsuckers or frozen shad, but sturgeon reports are nil. For largemouth bass, Randy Pringle, the Fishing Instructor, said, "Monday's muggy conditions brought out a great bite, and we landed over 50 fish using a variety of techniques." With the colder morning, the top water bite was slow but working the bottom with the Berkley Havoc Bottom Hopper in junebug on a Zappu Head was very effective. Call: Randy Pringle (209) 543-6260; Vella's Fishing Adventures (209) 521-0164.
Lake Don Pedro
Monte Smith of Gold Country Sport Fishing reported continued good action for kokanee and rainbow trout with the kokanee ranging from 14 to nearly 15-inches, bringing Smith to report, "They are fat and healthy and in good shape." The kokanee schools moved up in the water column from previous weeks, and Smith found them at depths from 50 to 65 feet with Uncle Larry's spinners or Rocky Mountain Tackle's Assassin spinners behind a RMT dodger. He also stacked a downrigger with a Vance's Sockeye Slammer No. 2 for rainbow trout at 40 to 50 feet in depth. Night crawlers or live minnows are effective for bass from the banks, and there is a top water bite with the River2Sea Rover or PopR's. The lake is currently at 776.15 feet in elevation and 70 percent of capacity. Call: Monte Smith (209) 581-4734; Danny Layne-Fishn' Dan (209) 586-2383; Gary Vella (209) 652-7550; Bait Barn (209) 874-3011.
McClure Reservoir
Bruce Hamby of Sierra Sport Fishing reported great fishing for both kokanee and rainbow trout as the fish are holding in the main lake between the A Frame and the dam off of rocky points at depths in the neighborhood of 50 feet. Hamby has been using Uncle Larry's Pro Series Trout Spinners tipped with a night crawler behind a ball flasher for rainbows in the 16 to 18-inch range while kokanee are hitting Uncle Larry's spinners, Glitter Bug Hootchies, or Vance's Hootchies tipped with shoepeg corn scented with Pro Cure's Bloody Tuna and a dash of krill behind copper dodgers. The kokanee are in the 14 to 15.5-inch range. Jason Mello of A-1 Bait in Snelling reported limits of bass to 4.75-pounds have been taken on live crawdads. Live minnows are also working for bass, and there is a good topwater bite in the mornings with PopR's or River2Sea Rovers. Senkos in natural shad or jigs such as the half-ounce Berserk Hornet or Special Ops TNT at depths from the banks to 30 feet are also effective. The lake dropped 3 feet to 781.14 feet in elevation and 53 percent of capacity. Call: A-1 Bait (209) 563-6505.
McSwain Reservoir
The McSwain Marina reported the last plant took place on with 1000-pounds of rainbows by Calaveras Trout Farm. Shore anglers are finding the best action near the C Loop with chartreuse or white Power Eggs or near the Brush Pile with regular scent Power Eggs in white or lemon lime. Trolling has slowed down during the past week with boaters picking up only a few fish per rod in the normal locations up the river arm from Gilligan's Island to the 2 in the deepest part of the lake at depths to 25 feet with a variety of Wedding Rings tipped with a night crawler behind a dodger, blade/crawler combinations, or PPK spinners in a variety of color patterns. Call: McSwain Marina (209) 378-2534
New Melones Reservoir
Danny Layne of Fishn' Dan's Guide Service reported good action for maturing 12 to 13-inch kokanee. He said, "Look for schools off of Glory Hole Point, South Island, or along the face of the dam at depths from 60 to 90 feet," adding, "Our most productive lures have been Micro Hootchies, spinners, or kokanee bugs tipped with garlic Pautske's Fire Corn trolled behind a Crystal Basin 'Wild Thing' dodgers. Night fishing under lights is the top option with anglers anchoring in 25 to 50 feet of water and dropping the light between 15 to 25 feet down. Trollers should target the 40 to 60 foot range with shad patterned lures. Bank anglers are advised to try a bubble and fly rig in the early mornings. Lewis reported an improvement in bass action with an early morning top water bite with small lures such as PopR's, Zara Puppies, Tiny Torpedos, or River2Sea Rovers. Catfishing has been very good. Most fish are in the shallow water at depths from 5 to 20 feet." Call: Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333; Monte Smith (209) 581-4734; Danny Layne-Fishn' Dan (209) 586-2383; Sierra Sport Fishing(209) 599-2023.
San Luis Reservoir and O'Neill Forebay
The main lake remains very slow for striped bass with the low water levels, requiring bank anglers to walk a long distance through muddy terrain to get to the shoreline. Boating activity for stripers has slowed with the less than optimal conditions. The best striper fishing remains in the Forebay with Paul Jolley of Coyote Bait and Tackle in Morgan Hill reporting, "Pile worms have been a big seller for the Forebay with anglers lining up around the Highway 152 Access areas or Check 12," adding, "Blood worms or anchovies off of the bottom have also produced schoolsized striped bass." Merritt Gilbert of Valley Rod and Gun touted white flukes in the Forebay for good numbers of small stripers. Catfishing has improved, and a 12-pound/14-ounce whiskerfish leads Coyote Bait's Catfish Derby where anglers can register with a $10 merchandise purchase. Largemouth bass are hitting jigs or drop shot plastics in the Forebay off of the Islands or to the right of the launch ramp. The main lake released 13,342 acre-feet of water and dropped to 24 percent of capacity. Call: Coyote Bait and Tackle (408) 463-0711.
Half Moon Bay
During the period from June 1 to July 9 from Pt. Arena to the US-Mexican border is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the minimum length is 24-inches all season except in from Pt. Arena to Pigeon Pt. where the minimum size will drop to 20-inches on August 1. Salmon fishing has slowed since the fantastic start to the season as the schools have moved northward. Captain Tom Mattusch of the Huli Cat "If you want to catch fish, you have to make the long run north." Rockfishing remains a solid bet. The Dungeness crab season ends Sunday. Call: Happy Hooker (510) 223-5388; Roger Thomas, Salty Lady (415) 760-9362, Bait and Switch Sport Fishing Center (650) 726-7133 726-7133; Emeryville Sport Fishing (510) 654-6040.
Monterey/Santa Cruz
Chris Arcoleo of Chris's Landing in Monterey reported continued excellent rockfishing. Salmon fishing has slowed since last Thursday's explosion. Call: Chris' Landing (831) 375-5951; Bayside Marine (831) 475-2173;usafishing.com
San Francisco Bay
The salmon scores slipped a bit over the weekend due to rough weather offshore. The salmon have been moving north, and the largest concentration has been outside of the North Island near the Pimple.

Baseball Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig presented Houston's 320-game winner with the award during the fourth inning.
"Before a worldwide television audience and your hometown fans here in Houston, it is my great honor to present you with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award," Selig told Clemens during a ceremony at home plate. "Your Hall of Fame career has been highlighted by many rewards and honors. These achievements will ensure that your name will always be mentioned with the greatest pitchers in the history of this great game.
"Congratulations Roger, you've done a lot for so many and all of us are very proud of you."
The pitcher then spoke to the fans as his wife and children stood by his side.
"I'd be remiss if I didn't say thank you to all the great fans of Major League Baseball," Clemens said. "All the towns and great cities I've had the great fortune to play in, especially here at home. Thank you."
A sellout crowd of 41,886 gave Clemens a long ovation as he left the field.
The Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award is presented in recognition of an achievement of historical significance. It was last bestowed in 2002 to the Seattle Mariners in recognition of their 2001 season, during which they recorded 116 victories to tie the 1906 Chicago Cubs for the highest single-season win total in Major League Baseball history.
"He's headed to the Hall of Fame some day," New York Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "What can you say except he's one of the best pitchers the game has seen."
Clemens, 10-3 with a 2.62 ERA at the All-Star break, owns a career record of 320-163. The 41-year-old has 4,220 career strikeouts, second all-time to Nolan Ryan.
"He's been sensational for a long time and he's still one of the best in the game," Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez said. "He's going to be in the Hall of Fame someday."
Florida manager Jack McKeon is another fan of the right-hander.
"I've been watching him for years and he's still amazing," McKeon said. "You look at his record and all he's done, there's no question he's one of the great ones."
Clemens was selected Most Valuable Player of the American League in 1986. He has led the league in wins four times, ERA six times and strikeouts five times. Clemens has recorded 46 shutouts and 117 career complete games. He is baseball's active leader in wins, innings, strikeouts, games started, complete games and shutouts.
Previous winners of the Commissioner's Lifetime Historic Achievement Award include Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Cal Ripken Jr., Tony Gwynn, Barry Bonds and Rickey Henderson.
McGwire and Sosa were honored for their 1998 homer chase, when they battled to be the first to break Roger Maris' single-season home run record. Ripken and Gwynn were awarded the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award during the 2001 All-Star Game at Seattle. Ripken was recognized for his consecutive games streak, and Gwynn for his career batting average.
Bonds was singled out for breaking McGwire's single-season homer record while Henderson, who holds several Major League records including most stolen bases, was also recognized.

You missed 2 women's events: marathon and 20k walk.
I know these things are just opinions and there's no point arguing much about them, but one pick that strikes me as really bizarre is Yohan Diniz for gold in the 20k walk. OK, the guy had one good result in the event last year (won the Euro Cup), but nothing apart from that and he's never even competed at this distance in major championships - he always does the 50.
Kudos to Mr. Hymans for his chutzpah, despite those nattering nabob naysayers like Jon and guru!!!
Alekna back on top?
Phillips (LJ) come-back?
CC over AN and RH?
Idowu's P18 pays off?
K Bek no double?
Robles over Liu?
KC doesn't stutter-step in semi OR final?
Richards' illness doesn't recur?
Nada for JennS?
I like your women's LJ/TJ gold medallist prediction!
I think the Chinese factor might come to the fore in the wDT (Sun Taifeng) and the wHT (Zhang Wenxiu).
I'd rather pick Koech over Shaheen for the 3000m steeplechase and I would have said Sihine for the 5000m as well ONLY if he doesn't run the 10000m.
Absolutely. I don:t believe it will be any other way. Injury stopped him last year.
Nope, and let:s leave it at that.
Also surprised at this forecast.
I'd be perfecty happy with 5 for GB (1 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze) but obviously they'll be another Gold added once the WMarathon Predictions are up and seems a bit weird leaving Nicola out of the 400m. Also think we'll medal at W4x4 and wouldn't discount Jess in the Hep, so that would be 9
Mojo you know i love ya but theres no way anyone can beat that youngster from Sudan, sorry.
I didn't pick him T&FNews did. I did say WOW!
The 800m often boils down to experience so I don't agree Kaki is a shoe in at all.
Ha i say. When your game plan is to go to the front and not let anyone pass you dont need experience. I know talent when i see it and i done saw a bunch of it.
I feel bad for Reed.He just happen to be around when the next greatest 800 arrived. Bad luck.

I agree with this - Sanders misjudged her pace in Osaka and easily has the beating of Williams.
wow only a 1 silver in the mens and nothing for china in the women s events, the host crowd would not be very happy with that.

Maui County Permit # BBHA 2012/0002
Conde Nast Traveler Magazine 'Deal of the Month' & 'Hawaii's Hidden Values'. Please visit our website for November and December Specials.
Hale Manu, which means the 'Bird House', is our larger two-bedroom guesthouse, privately located in the rear of our property with phenomenal ocean views. The spacious Hawaiian styled architecture includes open beamed, vaulted ceilings, a large center cupola for great airflow, an open floor plan and a large lanai for evening dining under the stars or morning coffee with the sunrise.
Over time, we have completely renovated and professionally decorated the home, including a large fully equipped kitchen (a kitchen inventory is available on our website), an all tile bathroom with new fixtures, queen sized beds with high thread count all cotton bedding and teak steamer chairs, gas barbeque and an additional table for dining on the lanai. The ocean facing bedrooms are conducive to romantic sultry evening breezes.
We take a lot of pride in our homes, as is evident from the many comments provided by previous guests (please see our online guestbook accessible from our website). Hale Manu is thoughtfully furnished with a fun vintage Hawaiian flair, including a beautifully refurbished 1930's vintage rattan living room set we found and shipped all the way from a small Texas town and original oil paintings by local Hana artists. Sink yourself into the furnishings and grab a book off the bamboo shelves to relax the night away or choose a DVD from the small collection we supply. We also have a collection of coffee table books about Hawaii and Polynesia and, since the home is the "bird house" we have bird books, binoculars for the avid bird watchers. We have done our best to consider all the details, like comfortable linens, nice soaps, whole bean quality coffee and green tea for your first day and for those of you who need to stay connected, we have high speed wireless internet access and unlimited, free mainland United States phone service. We also have the modern conveniences such as a washer/dryer, microwave and more.
Hale Manu is perched at the rear of our fully landscaped, two-acre property, providing PRIVACY. Since we live at the front of the property, we work diligently to maintain our homes and provide excellent accommodations. We are also available to answer questions about Hana and steer you in the right direction to your ultimate vacation, whether that means an active time snorkeling, surfing, horseback riding and hiking or just relaxing at the nearby beaches and swimming holes. Hamoa Beach, considered the nicest in town, is just minutes away. We provide boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, beach towels, beach mats, a beach umbrella and a cooler. We can also direct you to local in-house massage therapists or to the local spa for pampering.
The Guest Houses at Malanai are named after the gentle cooling breeze, (named Malanai) known for this area of Hana. We are located just three miles (a five minute drive) outside of Hana Town in the Maka'alae district, which is considered the most highly desired area of Hana. You are sure to fall in love with the picturesque and pastoral landscape, the ever-changing ocean colors and the gentle sound of the waves lulling you to sleep at night. We hope you choose Hale Manu at the Guest Houses at Malanai for your dream vacation in the islands! Please see our website for details on our EXTREMELY competitive rates and policies and feel free to email us with any questions. For a limited time we are offering Springtime specials. Please see our website.

Leokane Pryor has long family history in Hana. He is a relative of the colorful Sam Pryor, who was not only responsible for bringing Charles Lindbergh to Kipahulu (just down the road), but was also well known locally for raising Gibbon apes and many other animals which he loved. Charles, Sam, his wife Mary Tay and many of the Gibbons are buried at the famous church in Kipahulu. Leokane has followed in the family tradition by creating his own unique history in the area. He can be heard performing Hawaiian music most Wednesdays and Sundays at the Travaasa Hotel-Hana and he is well known throughout the islands for his beautiful falsetto voice and story telling.
Leokane and Chris purchased this property in 2001 and have worked continuously to create a paradise for themselves, their family and friends. Two of the homes on the large property are available for rent, making this unique experience available to the public. As one of only three legally permitted vacation rental properties in the area, The Guest Houses at Malanai are often booked months in advance and well deserving of their consistent #1 TripAdvisor rating and stellar reviews.
The Guest Houses at Malanai are located in the Maka'alae area of Hana, about 3 miles south of Hana Town. This area is generally considered the most desirable of Hana due to its close proximity to world famous Hamoa Beach and the Venus Pool, as well as the gentle breezes and open landscape which keep it cooler and more comfortable than other locations in the area. Maka'alae was once the fishing village of the area and boasts some of the most breathtaking coastline of all Maui. During whale season, it is the perfect place to see their migration and sometimes even hear them playing at night.
