I am not, but that was going to be my pick last December as I was purchasing a 7mm-08. What took it out for me was having to mount the scope so far forward, scout scope style. I know that is a fairly common set up, but I have not seen one. Nor have I ever seen such a scope advertised for such a long eye relief. With a little research, I am sure it would be just fine. But I was not wanting to take the time and with rifle and scope well over $1,000 + I could not afford to buy a set up I did not get along with. The BLR is very well balanced, well made, and I have had one in the past. It was a very accurate rifle. On the BLR I had many years ago, was able to mount the scope like a bolt action rifle. Resale on a BLR is also strong in my area. It would be hard to go wrong in that caliber in a BLR. Myself, I do not like the magnums in a lever as such a long throw with the lever to reload.
I have a BLR in .223Rem and love it. I have put probably 500 rounds through it and it is very dependable and pretty accurate as well. Only thing I don't really like about it is the high gloss finish and no sling.
I bought my Father a BLR in 7-08 years ago. It has always shot within a 1.5 three shot group with factory ammo. My Oldest son has it now. It is a very good dependable lever gun that he treasures. Darn good on whitetails too.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS Don't blame the tool, blame the fool.
This is probably the best deer round in my opinion. I've use 22 hornet, 223, 41mag, 20ga, 12ga, muzzleloader in 45 and 50cal, 204, 243, 7mm08, 260, 270, , 280, 30/30, 308, 25:06, 30:06, 7mm mag, 45/70, 375 H&H and probably more that I don't remember at this time? But all that being said the 7mm-08 is probably as good of a deer cartridge that has ever been made. JMO

Rehberg's state head accused of illegal hunt
HELENA - Congressman Denny Rehberg's new state director placed himself on voluntary unpaid leave last week after he was cited for illegally killing an elk and obstructing a peace office.
Randy Vogel, hired by Rehberg late last month to replace former state director Dustin Frost, is due in a Virginia City courtroom next Tuesday where he will face allegations that he illegally killed a spike bull elk and left the carcass in the field during a November hunt on a Madison County ranch.
According to Rehberg spokesman Jed Link, Vogel, 57, immediately notified the congressman of the citations after receiving them in the mail last week. The allegations against Vogel include:
Killing more than one elk without authorization; Hunting and harvesting a spike bull elk during closed season; Abandoning the carcass of a spike bull elk in the field; and Obstructing a peace officer.
The citations carry a total of $2,940 in penalties and restitution. If convicted, Vogel also could face up to six months in jail and loss of hunting privileges for 24 months for each hunting violation.
Vogel was traveling out of state and did not immediately return a call requesting comment.
Link said Vogel was not a member of Rehberg's staff at the time the alleged violations occurred.
Link released the following statement Tuesday afternoon after being contacted by a Tribune reporter:
"On March 3 Randy Vogel was notified by the Montana Department of Fish Wildlife & Parks that he had been ticketed for a misdemeanor violation that occurred last fall. Randy was not a member of Congressman Rehberg's staff at the time of the incident. After reviewing the ticket, Randy asked for, and was granted, an indefinite leave without pay from Congressman Rehberg's office. Congressman Rehberg was unaware of the incident in question until Randy informed him of it after receiving notice of the ticket."
The alleged violations occurred on Nov. 18 and Nov. 19. An official for FWP said the investigation is ongoing but declined to comment on specifics of the case.
Madison County Attorney Chris Christensen said more information, including the FWP report on the incident, could become available at the March 16 hearing.

I hate to bring in other sports but look at the MLB, european soccer or some other non cap leagues they are all doing extremely well without work stoppages every 5 years.
The NHL will always ask and try different things in order to help very questionable markets, the truth of the matter is there are always going to be huge differences in terms of fanbase, revenue and the amount of $ a team can charge for tickets. I mean, after all this league has 30 teams and each team should be responsible for themselves. Decertification would also lead to finally seeing Bettman canned, without draf t, CBA, rights and whatsoever there really is no need for a commissioner and yes without the NHLPA Fehr would be gone too.
Owners would then compete with money, rights and nice clauses for the top players and even decent ones would get very good jobs, sure some teams would relocate or fold but thats part of the business.

So you mean the PA could be partially to blame?
I hate it when people talk about greed.
Would any of you walk up to a player on the street and demand that they give you $1 million, or $23 million from an owner, or half that from one of each? Would you label them greedy bastards if they refused? Aren't we as fans being just as greedy in demanding to be entertained regardless of what either side would have to give up? Their greed doesn't bother me in the slightest. I only expect them to be reasonable, and for owners to take some responsibility for their poor business decisions and lack of foresight.
Posted by RippedOnNitro on 25 September 2012 - 09:53 AM
The players gave ground temporarily, but not permanently. Why can't they meet in the middle at 52-48? If the league would have stepped forward and put an offer on the table for 5 years at that figure, then I would believe you. A temporary rollback in year 1, with percentages climbing through year 2 and back up to where we are today at year 3 is a concession, but its not a big one. The greed on the owners side is well known, but the players have to be held to a standard as well. A temporary rollback is not the solution. You make it sound like the players gave a lot of concessions, but in reality, they really threw the ownership a small treat and nothing more.
You and I both agree that two rational parties could have had a CBA hammered out in 2-4 hours. Fehr and Bettman are not rational though.
Posted by RippedOnNitro on 25 September 2012 - 02:19 AM
A new league would still run into the same issues as this one, I think. Ultimately, the only people who can afford to own teams are of the super rich variety, and it takes a certain mindset to get that far financially. I don't think it is realistic to have owners who participate in a professional hockey league mostly for the good of the community or for fun, and not primarily from a business standpoint. Consequently, I expect the owners of the new league to lock out the players in much the same way that Illitch and the current 29 owners have, based on differences in perceived potential earnings.
Posted by RippedOnNitro on 17 September 2012 - 02:11 AM
Some more meaningless words from the NHL:
I just have to say, that's an awesome avatar.
From this point on for every day we are
Locked out of the NHL is a day I will not spend money on the NHL when it returns....
10 days of lock out means I wont purchase jerseys, key chains, tshirts, mouse pads lol anything... If I purchase anything it will be through private sellers selling there own stuff that isn't linked to the NHL at all... (aka people reselling stuff on here, etc.)
I know I'm only one person but if even more people do this... You can see a difference...
Posted by RippedOnNitro on 14 September 2012 - 01:53 AM
I think this player is as fed up with the BS dwarfish commissioner as everyone else and maybe just maybe he has to pay some bills, family and you know like to be able to pay them? Guys like us are playing hockey for fun, enjoyment these guys are professional athletes hockey is their job.
Thinking the fact that some players are going hardball is a good sign, last timel they gave too much they won't do so again and even the dumbest owner should know a league without all the stars will never be the same.
Posted by RippedOnNitro on 13 September 2012 - 09:00 AM
This morning, TSN's Darren Dreger said a "big-name" player said (paraphrasing): "I'd rather leave the game than give back more like we did the last time".
The Board of Governors will also meet today, voting on Uncle Gary's desire the lockout; speculation on TSN showed voting could be as high as unanimous and as low as 25-5.

Hockey players and owners are "normal" people that are just more successful fiscally than you (and I). Good for them, it's free market economics at work. These posts harping on the amount of money being made reek of jealousy and class envy. Let's be happy that players get payed well in the NHL; it's a big that reason that many of them are in this league... and you get to enjoy watching them.

Differential expression of the pro-inflammatory ...
Title | Differential expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β-1, TNFα-1 and IL-8 in vaccinated pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) and chum (Oncorhynchus keta) salmon juveniles |

Abstract | Laboratory-reared pink and chum salmon juveniles (∼2g) received an intraperitoneal injection with a commercial, unadjuvanted Aeromonas salmonicida bacterin or sterile saline. Relative to elongation factor-1A, expression levels of genes encoding the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β-1 (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor-α-1 (TNFα) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in pools of kidney and liver were examined 6- and 24-h after injection. Expression of IL-1β was significantly elevated in pink and chum salmon by 6-h, and declined in pink salmon but not in chum salmon by 24-h. Similarly, expression of TNFα was significantly elevated in both species at 6h and only in chum salmon after 24-h. Expression of IL-8 was significantly elevated in both species at 6- and 24-h after injection. Expression of the three proinflammatory cytokine genes differed between salmon species both in the timing and magnitude of their expression. The significance of these differences with respect to immune function in these fish requires further research. |

Shades Feature Request
Under the "iMac" section of the Shades Preference Pane, I think it would be helpful to gray out the check-box options under "Slider Control" if Slider Control is set to "None".
Although it's clear for an experienced user, it was initially confusing to be able to check these boxes even though the slider itself was disabled. I found this confusing even with the original Shades release.
Thanks again. Shades is a life saver for late night computing.

By Cornbread RX BLUES – I HATE MY BOSS {2001 | Kode Blue Records}
Once again Rx Blues provides us with some really good blues. The quality of the production and music is just great – Rx Blues done got it down and got it going on. Also, once again Rx Blues has thirteen songs on their latest CD, all original tracks. The title track I Hate My Boss received a lot of airplay and is a staple of Rx Blues when playing live.
On a personal note, I may hate my boss, but I've got the best blues editor ever (Dave, how about a pay increase?)!
The players may have changed, but the sound, the quality, the blues remain Rx Blues!
Jose Diaz – lead/rhythm guitar Jeff Davis – rhythm guitar, lead & background vocals Ray Thompkins – lead vocals Lisa Pacatte – lead & background vocals John Goodwin – drums Vic Hoffmeister – bass guitar Stuart Williams – horns
All the songs…. 1. I hate my boss – a great blues tune, the guitar is fantastic, the vocals and lyrics are great, did I say a great tune! 2. Problems no more – big band sound, distorted guitar throughout. 3. Memphis Beale street – a bit of a rockabilly swing sound, the piano (Kory Shaeffer) was a good addition, I liked it. 4. Sad bad lovin' blues – decent combination of vocal and horn. 5. St. Louis shuffle – shuffle is right on in describing this, swa-eeng baby. I nominate this is the new St. Louis Anthem. Good Johnnie Johnson part thanks Randall Alberts. 6. Eat good eat bad – killer guitar and guitar solo 7. Neon jungle – it must be a good song for my daughter and I to both agree on it, I liked the dominate bass part. My daughter said "the monkey song is cool". 8. Big Daddy – I love this song, my favorite track. Can this be changed to the Cornbread song? I really dig it, the organ solo was a nice surprise. 9. Hit it twice – some like it slow, that's OK, you just won't get it here or hear, we got backing horns, a good beat, soulful vocals, oh and of course electric guitar. 10. Blacklisted – can I have two favorites? All blues, great tune 11. The wolf is at your door – what's that backing organ. As JJ would say that's dyn-oh-mite. Toe tapping, head bobbin good. Adding a Howlin's howl would've been a good touch/ending. 12. Middle of the road – a tasty little mellow morsel, the piano is good, the slow guitar solo was a good addition, ending with piano notes was a perfect way to end the song. 13. Empty pockets – the prior song was mellow, this one ain't, probably the grittiest song of the set, acoustic accompaniment
I Hate My Boss has more of a swing flavor than other rxblues, a very, very good CD. Rating 4.551 out of possible 5. Ciao' for now, peace. Peter 'Cornbread' Cohen, CBP

4 Comments on "An old friend"
Never realized the trees were from the CCC! Thanks for the thought.
My friend Clyde, who used to be road supervisor in our town, was the source of this information. Before he retired from the position, he started planting new saplings along roadsides because so many of the CCC trees were dying or had been cut down to accommodate widened roads.
As I heard it from a few different sources, many of our huge roadside maples were planted in 1900, by landowners who were either paid by the county or given a per/tree tax break. In the days of dirt roads and horses, a tree lined road had less snow, less rain, and more shade in summer…all helpful in the longevity of the road and the horses. If only we had the foresight to realise that these things would also be useful in the 21st century…we should have planted more in 1950, but we believed that all our problems would be solved by science, oil, and super seeds.
In Potsdam, the village has a parking lot, back behind the Elks Club. It has a green strip with trees between every two rows of cars. On a summer day, when you think the sun just might kill you before you reach your destination…that parking lot is 5 to 10 degrees cooler. By contrast if you visit the Price Chopper parking lot, where there's not a tree for two hundred yards, the temperature is 5 to 10 degrees hotter than anywhere else. High winds, horizontal driving rain, and blowing sand…all because we won't plant some trees. -
Tootight: I think you're right about the large, hard maples being planted at the turn of the last century. The CCC tended to plant the soft species, like the one pictured in the blog entry: fast growing but short-lived.

April 23, 2013 Az Iz 43 posts | Miken 2 pc End Load vs Reebok End Load Hi I'm interested in buying one of these bats. But haven't decided which at this time. I am looking at the Miken 2 piece end load or the Reebok end load. Please give any information you may have to help me decide. Thanks |
April 23, 2013 boogpow44 52 posts | The reebok end load is as good bat as any for senior softball. Finding the right Weight is paramount, please sample different bat weights if you can. Haven,t hit miken,s new 2 piece. |
April 23, 2013 PJ3P Men's 50 81 posts | I agree and the end load varies quite a lot the different size Reeboks. For instance the 29 swings lighter than the 28. |
April 23, 2013 crusher Men's 70 414 posts | Az lz -- Our Senior league in Richardson Tx. Last Tuesday I saw a guy hit a low linedrive out of park with the new Miken 2 Piece. It was at least his 2nd over fence of the game as it was same as a walk. I looked at bat and it was new, he told me that was his 3rd swing. The bat really appears to be lively. Crusher |
April 23, 2013 Perl 118 posts | I have had both bats and they are both really excellent. To me it comes down to what feels good in your hands. The Reebok may have more fans since its been around longer but the two piece is a good bat. Alan Tanner is a good source of info on bats. Good luck with your choice. |
April 23, 2013 ? 91 posts | I was told the Miken 2 piece is every bit as good as the Miken Red bat which is very comparable in performance to the end loaded Reebok. Plus it's supposed to have better durability than either the Miken Red or Reebok. |

Some things never change - except for your checkbook balance if you decide to keep using them....... If you want to bet on a sure thing bet on gravity.

Title: | Grass Roots and Deep Holes: Community Responses to Mining in Melanesia |
Author: | Filer, Colin; Macintyre, Martha |
Date: | 2006 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press Center for Pacific Islands Studies |
Citation: | Filer, C., and M. Macintyre. 2006. Grass Roots and Deep Holes: Community Responses to Mining in Melanesia. Special issue, The Contemporary Pacific 18 (2): 215-31. |
Abstract: | This introduction contextualizes the discussion of community responses to mining in Melanesia by looking first at the policies of minerals extraction and the shift of academic interest from economic development to the social effects of mining. As this collection concentrates on Papua New Guinea, an analysis of the sector and its problems in that country is briefly contrasted with the situation in other Pacific Island nations, canvassing the idea that the economic "resource curse" might have a social dimension. The varying interpretations of local impact and anthropological studies have challenged notions of unified interest or consensus at the local level, revealing ambivalence and contradictions. An overview of the contributions made in this special issue to current debates about stakeholder interests and economic sustainability is presented, showing that understandings of mining and its social consequences at each stage of the process are always inflected by the cultural conceptions of change, wealth, and resources that obtain in a community. |

Product description
One of the most influential books on color ever published, Josef Albers's Interaction of Color is a masterwork. Originally issued in 1963 as a limited-edition set of commentary and 150 silkscreened color plates, the book introduced generations of students, artists, designers, and collectors to Albers's unique approach to complex principles. While the original publication has long been out of print, this beautiful new edition now brings Interaction back into classrooms, studios, and onto bookshelves, where it will find an eager new audience. Lavishly produced as a two volume slipcased set, this book replicates Albers's revolutionary exercises, explaining concepts such as color relativity and vibrating and vanishing boundaries through the use of color, shape, die-cut forms, and movable flaps that illustrate his astonishing demonstrations of the changing and relative nature of color. Also included for the first time are new studies from the Albers archive, produced by the artist's students in the early 1960s. A celebration of Albers's legendary achievements, this beautiful publication is an essential addition to any serious art library.

West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive
Location of the West Midlands within the United Kingdom
Formation | 1 October 1969 |
Type | Public body |
Purpose | Transport authority |
Headquarters | 16 Summer Lane Birmingham England |
Location | |
Region served
West Midlands Metropolitan County, part of Staffordshire including Cannock and Rugeley (Rail Zone 5 only) |

Parent organization
West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority |
Website | www.centro.org |
The West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive (WMPTE), publicly branded as Network West Midlands and under the corporate name of Centro, is a local government organisation (passenger transport executive) responsible for public transport services in the West Midlands county in England.
Policies and budgets are set by the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority (WMITA), formerly known as the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority (WMPTA). The Authority has 27 representatives appointed from the seven West Midlands metropolitan district councils (ten from Birmingham, three each from Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, and two from Solihull).[1]
Following a reorganisation in 2006, the Transport Authority and Executive are, for many purposes, a single entity.
Centro's activities include:[2]
- Subsidising, and seeking government subsidy for, some remunerative bus, train and tram services which it considers socially necessary.
- Providing public transport street furniture, bus stops and shelters, passenger information and bus stations. Bus stops are owned and maintained by Centro. There are bus stations at Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, Merry Hill, Wednesbury, West Bromwich, Bearwood, and Coventry, plus several large interchanges (such as Cradley Heath).[3] Timetable and real time electronic information is usually provided.
- Administration of concessionary fares, and funding the Ring-and-Ride door to door service for the elderly and disabled, operated by West Midlands Special Needs Transport.
- Operating multi-operator travel pass arrangements.
- Planning facilities and improvements, such as railway stations, park and ride, bus lanes, and the Midland Metro. Park and ride has been a priority for Centro, with 6,700 free parking spaces provided at rail stations.
Following the 1968 Transport Act, the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive was established on 1 October 1969 to operate and coordinate public transport in a large part of central England[citation needed] (the West Midlands Passenger Transport Area) including the large West Midlands conurbation which included the cities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton as well as the Black Country.
Policy for the Executive was set by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority, which was formed at the same time. The PTA included elected representatives from councils in the Passenger Transport Area.
On its formation in 1969 the PTE acquired the vehicles and other assets of the municipal bus fleets of Birmingham, Walsall, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton. The former Birmingham City Transport was by far the largest constituent part of the combined fleet, and a modified version of that operator's blue and cream livery was adopted by the PTE. The ex-Birmingham assets became 'South Division', with the others forming the Walsall-based 'North Division'. The buses were subsequently known as Wumpty buses, in reference to the WMPTE name.[4]
Although it was tasked with planning and coordinating bus and rail transport in the Passenger Transport Area, the Executive's activities in its early years were largely confined to partially integrating the inherited municipal bus operations. Much of the Passenger Transport Area was not served by PTE buses, and the Executive had minimal involvement in operation and planning of railway services.
In the West Midlands conurbation many bus services continued to be run by the Midland Red bus company. This was considered undesirable by the PTE, so it entered into negotiations to partly buy them out. On 3 December 1973, there was a transfer of assets and services between the Midland Red and the Executive involving routes that operated wholly (or almost wholly) within the proposed West Midlands county.[5] By April 1974, the PTE's fleet numbered around 2,600 vehicles.[6]
Railway services[edit]
In the mid 1970s the Executive began to take a more active interest in the development of local railway services, but their operation remained in the hands of British Rail. The Cross-City line, implemented in 1978, was a joint BR/WMPTE project, but modest in scope compared to Merseyrail's Loop and Link or the Tyne & Wear Metro.
In the 1980s, WMPTA/WMPTE decided to restore rail services through Snow Hill station. The two-stage restoration process, completed in 1995, did not include the Wolverhampton Low Level line, which was reserved for the Midland Metro.
Revised operating area[edit]
The 1972 Local Government Act led to the creation, on 1 April 1974, of the West Midlands metropolitan county. As a result, WMPTE's operating area was adjusted to match that of the new county (although it continued to operate a handful of out-of-county services).
At the same time, the PTE took over a fifth municipal bus fleet, Coventry, which became its 'East Division'. The PTA was abolished, and its role taken over by the newly established West Midlands County Council.
When the County Council was abolished in 1986, a new Passenger Transport Authority was established, with membership drawn from the metropolitan district councils.
Bus deregulation[edit]
As a result of the 1985 Transport Act, bus services across Great Britain were deregulated. This resulted in the transfer of the bus services to a separate legal entity, West Midlands Travel Limited (WMT),[7] which took over the bus assets and services of the WMPTE on 26 October 1986.
WMT remained in public ownership under the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority until 1991, when it was sold to its management and employees.[8]
Centro is funded by a levy from the seven West Midlands metropolitan districts.[2]
In the early 1990s WMPTE adopted the corporate name of Centro. When Central Trains operated trains in the area, Class 150s were painted in a green Centro livery. Following the franchise passing to London Midland and the introduction of Class 172 rolling stock, this has been phased out.
The name Network West Midlands was used for a rebranding of the existing bus and train service from 2005 onwards, based on the premise that survey information had indicated that more people would use public transport if a strong brand was identifiable. Promotion of the brand has included television advertising, and a Youtube video.[9]
Following on from this, Centro's own corporate identity was reworked. Under the Local Transport Act 2008, WMPTA has been renamed West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority.
Plans are in place to retire the Centro and Network West Midlands brands and rename the authority Transport for West Midlands. [10]
Key projects[edit]
New Street railway station[edit]
Centro has backed the Gateway Plus project.[11]
High-speed rail[edit]
In August 2009 Centro backed construction of new railway in the West Midlands area for use by High Speed 2 trains, which would allow existing lines to have "better and more frequent local services".[12]
Midland Metro[edit]
Midland Metro Line One, is owned by Centro and run under concession by Travel Midland Metro. It opened in May 1999. An extension through the city centre of Birmingham s due to open in 2015.[13]
Bus rapid transit[edit]
Plans are in place for a new network of 'Sprint' services.[14]
Centro is "committed to sustainable forms of transport which benefit the environment and help to reduce global warming. It is especially important when you consider that road congestion on the West Midlands' busy roads costs regional businesses more than £2.3 billion a year." Centro has a comprehensive green charter and action plan for the environment and is a full signatory of the UITP Charter for Sustainable Development.
In addition, the award winning Letzgogreen (sic) website, uses cartoon figures to help school pupils and teachers learn about the benefits of sustainable transport.
Each transport operator has its own ticket range. In general a ticket is not usable on another company's service, but Centro passes with multi-operator validity are available, allowing travel on rail and/or bus, for periods ranging from 1 day to 1 year. Smartcard services are being developed for rollout during 2012.
The Integrated Transport Authority and earlier Passenger Transport Authority have used committee structures, the form of which has changed over time. Membership is normally a subset of the full 27-member Authority. In March 2010, extant Committees were listed[15] as:
- Transport Strategy (15 councillors) - "responsible for setting the policies and strategies of Centro"
- Business Improvement (12 councillors) - "responsible for monitoring of performance management process and the continuing improvement of its processes, structures and cultures"
- Pension Fund (7 councillors) - "responsible for the proper administration of the Authority's Pension Fund"
- Standards (6 councillors and 2 "independent co-opted members") - "responsible for promoting and maintaining high standards of conduct by members of the Authority"
- PTA Urgency [Sub-Committee] (at 10 March 2010, described as 'PTA', not 'ITA', on the Centro website, 5 councillors) - "to consider any matter of urgent business that cannot wait until the next scheduled meeting of the Authority"
- Bus Shelter Appeals [Sub-Committee] (6 councillors) - "responsible for considering appeals against the siting of bus stops and shelters".
The Integrated Transport Authority has seven Transport Users' Forums covering the district areas of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton. Public participation is available through Transport Users' Forums, which "meet on average every two months at a local venue" in the 7 district areas, and allow submission of views to the Transport Authority via the Transport Strategy Committee.[16]

Behind the turn around at FiatYes, a car company can be fixed. Look at Fiat, says Fortune's Stephan Faris.(Fortune Magazine) -- Luca De Meo, head of the Fiat car brand, was given his job after just one interview. It was a hot Turin summer day in 2004, and Sergio Marchionne, the new CEO of the Fiat Group, was prowling the company's holiday-drained halls. "In Italy the CEO of the Fiat Group is a kind of mythical personage, somewhere between Pope and Prime Minister," says De Meo, 39. "He knocked on the door and said, 'What do you do?'" Fiat was a wreck - it would lose more than $1 billion that year - and Marchionne, just arrived from Switzerland's SGS, the world's largest goods-inspection company, was looking for a team to strip it clean and hammer it into shape. De Meo was in charge of the group's Lancia brand at the time, and during the two hours they talked, he felt as if he were being X-rayed. "Marchionne has a real ability to read people's psychology," says De Meo. "Three months later he said, 'You have to run Fiat.'"
De Meo's promotion - the snap gamble, the pluck from the ranks - was typical of Marchionne, who this year announced that Fiat Group Automobiles (Charts), which includes the Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo brands, had returned to profitability for the first time since 2000. Last year revenues reached $31.3 billion, up 35 percent from 2005. Trading profits, a European metric similar to operating profits that does not include restructuring costs or one-time items, flipped from red to black, from $332 million in losses in 2005 to a $384 million profit. The Fiat Group - which also owns the luxury brands Ferrari and Maserati, as well as makers of trucks, agricultural and construction equipment, and automobile components - announced it will pay its first dividends in five years. At a time when many of the industry's major players are struggling, Marchionne had accomplished the impossible, salvaging a company headed for the scrapheap. "When you're fighting in an industry like this, you need to take very unorthodox approaches to the business," says Marchionne, a 54-year-old jazz-loving Italian who has spent his entire adult life living outside his native country. It was this outsider quality that may have helped him most: He has flushed out the management, lubricated the design process, revved up production, fine-tuned union relations, and begun to bang out the dents in a badly damaged brand. "It's like what Michelangelo said about his 'David,'" says Giorgio Elefante, head of the European auto retail practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "He took a block of marble and cut off what was superfluous." In March the company's market capitalization reached $32.5 billion, more than that of GM (Charts, Fortune 500) (which once owned a 20 percent stake in Fiat) and Ford (Charts, Fortune 500) combined. But Marchionne says the job is not finished. To cement his success, Fiat Automobiles will roll out 23 new vehicles and as many model face-lifts by the end of 2010. He hopes to boost sales from two million cars last year to 2.8 million and increase Fiat Automobiles' current 9 percent share of the European market - it is the fifth-largest seller on the continent, behind market leader Volkswagen (Charts), Peugeot (Charts), Ford and GM - to 11 percent. And he predicts that net profits for the Fiat Group will nearly triple by 2010. "We need to be one of the top three producers in Europe," Marchionne says, sitting in his office in Turin under a large black painting with the single word "competition" in white. "Once we get to that stage, I'll feel a lot more comfortable."
Management shakedown
It is a tall order, but in 2004 the challenge seemed all but insurmountable. Fiat Automobiles' share of the Italian market had slipped from 52 percent at the beginning of the 1990s to below 28 percent in 2003. The group had expanded into insurance, banking and energy, and had neglected its auto division. Investments were low, and the management culture was stagnant. "It wasn't the fault of one, two or three people," says Elefante. "It was a problem of culture - big offices, big waste and nobody responsible for anything." Mass discounts intended to boost volume cost the company on each car it sold. Unions were striking over job cuts. Fiat's most recent launch, the Stilo, an effort to break into the compact-car market, had sputtered. Judged by consumers to be ugly and costly, it sold fewer than half of what Fiat had hoped. Meanwhile Alfa Romeo hadn't updated its top-selling models in years, and sales were slipping. The death in 2003 of Gianni Agnelli, grandson of one of the founders and the man credited with building Fiat from car company to conglomerate, was followed a year later by that of his brother Umberto. Leadership of the family, which owns 30 percent of the Fiat Group, fell to Gianni's 28-year-old grandson, John Elkann, now vice chairman. The company had chewed through four CEOs in three years. Marchionne had been appointed to Fiat's board in 2003 and became CEO under Elkann. He began by stripping away layers of management, starting at the top. Ten percent of the roughly 20,000 white-collar employees in and around Turin were fired. "This was a very hierarchical, status-driven, relationship-driven organization," says Marchionne. "All that got blown up in July 2004." In the offices where career Fiat managers once lorded for life, Marchionne placed outsiders or promoted talent from the middle ranks. Antonio Baravalle, then marketing manager at Alfa Romeo, recalls being summoned for a meeting with Marchionne shortly after he arrived. "It was the time when he was shaking the trees, looking to see how many [managers] were still hanging," says Baravalle, 42. "His first question was, 'Tell me what was wrong with what you did in the past.'" Baravalle passed the test. After a second interview, Marchionne put him in charge of Lancia. A year later he asked him to head Alfa Romeo. "Of the first level there, I am the only one that survived," says Baravalle. Marchionne drives his new executives to take risks. "They have a huge amount of freedom," he says. "But the freedom has a very expensive pricetag: the delivery of results." Recalls Baravalle: "He would say, 'The reason I chose you is that you don't have in your background the sedimentation of the past.' He was looking for fresh air."
Emergency-room overhaul
At the Mirafiori plant in Turin, welders work in safety glasses with a designer curve to the lens. Automobile bodies swing overhead like skeletal cable cars. Behind Plexiglas, robots jerk and whir. It isn't easy to spot what has changed here since Marchionne took over. But before he arrived, engineering for each brand was run independently. Fiat would commission its own research. Alfa Romeo would design its own components. Lancia would engineer its own cars. None built on what the others had accomplished. Fiat's Stilo and Alfa Romeo's 149, similarly sized cars offering similar performance, shared no components, says Harold Wester, the head of engineering Marchionne hired from Magna Steyr, an Austrian automobile manufacturer, in 2004. Only two of the company's 19 independently developed platforms shared the same heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. "The customer is interested in a fuel-efficient and well-functioning HVAC unit," says Wester, 48. "Whether it's the same between four cars, he doesn't care." Wester launched a plan to produce 85 percent of Fiat Automobiles' cars on just four platforms by 2010. "I will no longer reinvent the wheel each time," he says. "I will work instead on improving the same solution." Two cars of the same size will share two-thirds of their components, most of them not visible to the customer. "You cannot survive with small steps," he says. "You need to leapfrog to put yourself in a state-of-the-art position as soon as possible." To be sure, Marchionne's successes have included more conventional moves. He shepherded the Fiat Grand Punto through a successful launch, and under his supervision the Fiat Panda has seen increasing sales for four years running, a rarity in an industry where new models usually peak after the first year. The car's long life has been achieved by the careful rollout of new features and upgrades, the most popular being the Panda Cross, a 4X4 version of the tiny car with the trimming of an SUV. Marchionne has aggressively forged partnerships abroad, in China, India, Russia and Turkey, manufacturing Fiat-branded cars and selling them through local dealers. In early 2005, when Fiat was still spewing red ink, he negotiated a $2 billion payment from General Motors in exchange for annulling a deal in which the Italian car company could force GM to buy it outright. Yet if Fiat Automobiles had not been stalled, it's unlikely that Marchionne would have had the freedom to carry out his emergency-room overhaul. "In a well-established, settled company in the automotive industry, nobody could do something like this," says Wester. The car company had the talent, knowledge and skills, but it lacked leadership. "This company was like a cage full of horses," says Baravalle. "Marchionne's incredible capability is to destroy the cage and to drive the horses in the right direction. Then, when he has you in the right direction, he says, 'Run as fast you can. Nobody will stop you.'" Since taking charge, Marchionne has become increasingly casual in dress. His wavy, graying hair now reaches his shoulders. His voice is deep and a touch lazy, like a jazz singer's drawl. He rarely wears a suit, preferring to come to work in a black sweater. Add his rimless glasses and the hunch in his shoulders, and he resembles less a car executive than an orchestra conductor. In his office is a turntable and vacuum-tube speakers (he favors the American pianist Keith Jarrett and Bobby McFerrin's orchestral works). From the broad deck of his desk, his Mac laptop calls out the time at 15-minute intervals. Born in Italy but raised in Toronto, Marchionne straddles a line between Italian and outsider. After earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto, he studied accounting and law. Before joining Fiat he presided over a turnaround at SGS. On the rare weekend he takes off, he commutes to Switzerland, where his wife lives with their two sons. Marchionne has as much as possible divorced his position as head of Italy's largest private industrial company from its traditional political role. He has eschewed conflict with the unions by promising not to close plants, boosted domestic production and signed the company's first contract with the metalworkers' union in ten years. "What's gone from here is the typical confrontational style of unions against the company," he says. Marchionne may delegate, but he leaves his executives little free time. Weekend meetings are routine. So are predawn phone calls. Travel can occur on a whim. "He is incredibly tough and demanding," says Baravalle. "But he will never leave you in the mud."
'Fiat cars must remain affordable'
When it comes to the competition, Marchionne is happy to imitate, though the word he usually chooses is "benchmarking." On the production side, he makes no pretense of breaking ground, maintaining that "any attempt at reinventing outside of the Toyota (Charts) pattern is idiotic." His marketing inspirations, however, come from outside the industry. "If you were to ask me today what the Toyota brand stands for, I couldn't tell you," he says. "I grew up in North America, and I remember when Apple started. How much care [CEO Steve] Jobs takes in nurturing their place in the market is just phenomenal. We need to learn that." Fiat cars must remain affordable, says De Meo, but the rise of carmakers in low-cost countries means Italian-made cars can no longer compete just on price. "We are trying to transform Fiat from a popular brand to a pop brand," he says. "We should be totally consistent with the values normally associated with MADE IN ITALY. When you enter a shop to buy a suit or jeans, you never expect the Italian product to be the cheapest one. Yes, you have Prada, but you also have Diesel. You have Miss Sixty." In January, Fiat launched the Bravo, the first car Marchionne has overseen from its conception. It is a culmination of his reforms, sharing two-thirds of its components with the Stilo, which continues to be offered as a station wagon. Development from first sketch to production line took just 18 months, an industry record, according to Marchionne, achieved through virtual computer design and modeling. Stylistically, the compact car is a radical departure. Fiat's slump in sales had been matched by a slide in style. The last several generations of cars were boxy and uninspired. But the Bravo boasts sporty, organic curves like the muscled head of a bull. "We got quite inspired by the Italian ladies," says Christopher Reitz, head designer for the Fiat brand. "We started talking about Sophia Loren with the cat's-eye taillights." On July 4, Fiat plans to relaunch the Cinquecento, 50 years to the day after the original was introduced. The company hopes it can do with its iconic centerpiece what BMW did with the Mini Cooper: turn a car into a fashion icon, one that young people will want to own, customize and accessorize. "It will create the basis on which the Fiat brand can grow," says Marchionne. "The brand will find its roots in the Cinquecento." The long lag times in the car industry mean that many of Marchionne's reforms are just now showing results, and he's racing to stay ahead. After all, market share is a zero-sum game, and the other players aren't idling. Volkswagen is growing, Toyota is coming on strong and both Ford and GM are restructuring. "I was talking to the kids last night, to our brand guys," says Marchionne. "The problem with this level of success is that we're going to get copied." Says De Meo: "So far we've only done what people were expecting Fiat to do. The challenge of surprising and innovating is the challenge for the next lap." feedback firstname.lastname@example.com

The Book of Honor
In the entrance of the CIA headquarters looms a huge marble wall into which seventy-one stars are carved-each representing an agent who has died in the line of duty. Official CIA records only name thirty-five of them, however. Undeterred by claims that revealing the identities of these "nameless stars" might compromise national security, Ted Gup sorted through thousands of documents and interviewed over 400 CIA officers in his attempt to bring their long-hidden stories to light. The result of this extraordinary work of investigation is a surprising glimpse at the real lives of secret agents, and an unprecedented history of the most compelling-and controversial-department of the US government.

The need for effective oral and written communication skills is becoming increasingly important in the work force. Therefore, it is critical that as a candidate you are able to write professional letters throughout your job search to effectively market yourself to potential employers.
The following descriptions represent the types of letters that you might find appropriate at various stages of your job search. Return to Top of Page Letter of Inquiry During your job search, you might encounter times when you are in need of information about an organization, a specific position or geographic location. In this case, you would write a letter of inquiry. In the letter, you request the information needed.
Students often ask if they will receive acknowledgment by the employer after sending a letter of inquiry. Be aware that since you will be sending an unsolicited letter, you may or may not receive a response. However, these letters do demonstrate to an employer that you are taking a planned, organized approach to your job search. This can be impressive and encouraging to employers. Return to Top of Page Letter of Application When you send a resume to an employer it must be accompanied by a letter of application, also known as a cover letter. This letter is essential. The purpose of the cover letter is to highlight the skills, education and experience you possess related to their position. You will express to an employer why you are interested in the position and what contributions you believe you can make to the organization based upon your qualifications. Since the cover letter is the ideal place to focus on the specific skills you want to emphasize for a particular employer, a unique cover letter must accompany each resume you send.
Return to Top of Page Pre-Interview and Pre-Screening Letter An opportunity might arise where it is necessary to write a letter to an on-campus recruiter or job fair employer in order to secure an interview. Similar to a letter of application, the purpose of the letter is to highlight your qualifications and career interests to the employer.
Return to Top of Page Interview Confirmation Letter Once your application has been screened by an employer, you may be granted an opportunity to interview with the organization. This interview could be a site visit, a telephone interview, or on-campus interview. If time permits, you may wish to confirm the arrangements made for the interview. This demonstrates to a prospective employer that you are organized, responsible, and concerned about the details of the interview.
Return to Top of Page Post Interview Thank You Letter It is strongly recommended to send a thank you letter promptly after each interview. This can reinforce or leave a favorable impression on an employer, especially because so few candidates take the time to send them. Given that some employers may be making interview or hiring decisions in a relatively short time-frame, you may wish to e-mail your thank you letter, which is acceptable. A point to keep in mind is that the longer you wait to send a thank you letter, the less impact your letter will have on the employer.
Thank you letters should also be sent after informational interviews, network meetings, receiving information from employers, having an instructor/adviser write a letter of recommendation or any time that an individual has significantly impacted your job search. Return to Top of Page Job Offer Clarification or Acknowledgment Letter Employers will differ in how they extend an offer of employment to a candidate. Job offers may be extended over the phone or by letter. In either case, it may be necessary to clarify aspects of the offer prior to your final decision.
Return to Top of Page Job Offer Acceptance Letter Accepting a job offer will be one of the more enjoyable points of your job search. Most organizations will ask that you call and give a verbal commitment. This enables the organization to act quickly to close the search and to prepare any necessary paperwork for you to complete. If writing an acceptance letter, keep the following in mind:
Return to Top of Page Job Offer Declination Letter Even if you decline a job offer during a telephone conversation, it is a professional courtesy to decline the offer in writing. Remember that it is not professional to send a letter of declination prior to contacting the organization by telephone. By being tactful and appreciative in your letter, it will help you avoid hurting your chances of being considered for future job opportunities with that organization.
Return to Top of Page Networking or Informational Interview Letter Many times you may want to speak with a professional in the workforce to obtain information about a career field, an organization, or advice on preparing for a specific career. Informational interviews can be a very effective way to research these questions. When contacting alumni or professionals regarding an informational interview, it is best to do so in writing so the interviewee will know what is expected of him or her.
Return to Top of Page Conclusion The purpose of any job search correspondence is to highlight your qualifications and to distinguish yourself from your competition. Quality, well-written correspondence can be extremely powerful and highlight your written communication skills. If you send several letters to the same organization, it is best to keep them organized in case you need to make reference to any of the letters during your job search. If you are ever in question as to whether to send a letter or not, it is best to send written correspondence. Return to Top of Page

Solitude by Kathleen Chambers
Drifting on the lake The waves lap against the side of the boat Lulling me to sleep Everything seems so peaceful I hear the birds in the distance The shore seems so far away The warmth of the sun begins to fade A loon calls eerily across the water Reluctantly I head to shore Almost unwilling to leave But knowing I will return I look back longingly Then I go

Work detailsThe Essential Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I enjoy the Calvin and Hobbs series heavily and this is my favorite of them all. I really enjoy the language used for the series, for a comic series it uses very advanced language that is not common place for younger readers. Calvin, for being a young boy likes to discuss concepts that are way above his age group. I also really enjoy the plot that occurs throughout the seemingly random comics. The way the stories connect to bring plot into a comic strip is fun like in the few that involve Calvin and Hobbs going on a real adventure. A very cute book about a boy and his stuffed tiger. Definitely a Laugh Out Loud book. Calvin and Hobbes is the greatest comic strip ever written. It remains timeless and puts us in touch with our childhood. I remember saving strips from the Sunday papers for years before I got my first collected book. In fact, I have the final strip still, saved in a protective plastic slip, and will probably frame it eventually. That's the impact Watterson had on me. Spaceman Spiff, the product of an overactive imagination and always a sign that Calvin is a) in school and b) soon to be in trouble. Susie Derkins, the girl next door who comes to town and steals young Calvin's heart (not that you'd really know it except for how Hobbes reacts to her). Moe, the bully, a constant threat in Calvin's life. And if you can keep from tearing up during the "little raccoon" storyline, then congrats on having either no access to your emotions or no soul. Funny, poignant, touching, thought-provoking, timeless. Everyone should have Calvin and Hobbes in their library. So much fun, pure and simple. Fantastic!!! no reviews | add a review
