Six years after the première of Frühlings Erwachen at the Monnaie, the Belgian composer, Benoît Mernier, brings us his second opera, La Dispute, in which he once again explores the birth of desire. In close collaboration with the husband-and-wife team of directors, Karl-Ernst and Ursel Herrmann, as well as with Joël Lauwers, he has taken as his inspiration the play of the same name by Marivaux, and adapted one of the most modern and disconcerting of moral stories about fidelity and infidelity by completing it with other extracts from the same writer. The result – a comedy in prose and music, which is very topical.
Here you are again back at the Monnaie after a gap of six years. Once bitten by opera there is no going back?
That's right – it is truly a complete form of expression. It also offers the chance for a composer to be less alone in the creative act: opera requires team work. It is an art form where you have to constantly rethink your position, that's to say you have to question yourself about what, at the end of the day, is really important. It is not the degree of complexity or the culmination of craftsmanship in the music which guarantees the success of the production. Opera is also to bet on a risk, for a group of disciplines must come together, must feed off each other: you have to think all this through and conceive everything together over a fairly extended period of time. For me opera is like a virus, it infects me, it touches me, it lives within me; opera is the rapture of the voice and the human passions. What also fascinates me is the part that magic and mystery always play in opera. There is a dimension that inevitably touches the world of myths, the universality of the human condition. Opera carries within it certain ingredients that, to my mind, no other form of artistic expression contains. I'm not saying that opera is the superior art form but, without a doubt, it is a field that goes very deep into the emotions.
How did you get started on La Dispute?
First the idea came to me. Of course, I was very keen, after Frühlings Erwachen, to write another opera. I swear to you that when Frühlings was finished, I couldn't imagine how I would write anything that wasn't operatic. The first piece that I composed afterwards was a piano concerto. The beginning of its composition was very painful. I had the impression that I could no longer write something meaningful, that only the voice could convey expressiveness. And then, of course, I eventually ended up finding other ways. Very quickly after Frühlings, I started looking for another subject for an opera. And that took up a lot of time. I also wanted to use my mother tongue and find a French text.
What made you turn to a text by Marivaux?
Originally I was thinking more about a play from the Symbolism period or even more recent. I had found a play by Maeterlinck which touched me deeply but when I started to imagine the music it sounded like Debussy, and, even though I adore that composer, that was not what I wanted! So then I thought to myself that I needed to look further back but I didn't want anything in verse form. That's how I discovered La Dispute. I was initially seduced by the format which seemed perfect to me and then, above all, by the fact that, unlike most of Marivaux's major plays, the lines were fairly short. The language seemed to contain a modern element and I felt that it could, quite naturally, be transformed into musical speech. Moreover I saw the splendid staging of Marivaux's La Nouvelle Surprise de l'amour by Luc Bondy where the set was designed by Karl-Ernst Herrmann. For me, this play sounded like a contemporary text! I thought that was rather a good sign.
What were your initial concerns?
From the very first meeting with the Herrmanns we talked about what form it should take. I felt that we had to treat the play in a very theatrical way, very animated. I was thinking particularly of a small orchestra. They had the same feeling and they thought we should create a form that mixed the spoken word with singing. In the beginning I had my doubts about this idea, it frightened me. However, when I thought about it I realised they were right. For such a play it could be very invigorating, very striking. But we had to give the music its importance, as well as find a way to move easily from song to word and from word to song. That pushed me to find something new in the way of expression since we will hear different levels in this opera – which elsewhere has been labelled 'a comedy in prose and music'.
Do you work in close collaboration with the directors?
Yes, we've got together on numerous occasions in the last three years. During long sessions of four to five days of continuous work, we constructed the text. First Ursel Herrmann and Joel Lauwers worked together on the libretto, then we looked at it together, and then we cut and added some things. We worked very closely together during the initial conception of the text. It was interesting because they were waiting for my reaction to the script and I was waiting for their reaction to the score. We didn't try and tell each other what to do but we did have lots of discussions. When I began to write lots of points were fairly clear in my head, particularly regarding the meaning of the play and the feelings experienced by the characters. All this careful thought meant that we ended up thinking the same about a number of things. This is also what pleases me about this kind of work.
Did you write it chronologically?
Yes, but even so I had an idea of the whole. Sometimes I worked on parts of the text that were unfinished or that changed as we read them. I was also faced with the eternal battle – that is maybe a rather too violent word – between musicians and theatre people who do not have the same feeling for time. In the theatre a gap of thirty seconds between two lines is long. For a musician thirty seconds is nothing! Even regarding the concept of time we have a different sense. My fear was that we would end up with too much text. My final position was that ideally there would be just less than two hours of music. At the end of the day that's what I arrived at and I am very happy. I didn't quantify the length. It was really by going for the essential, working, rereading, filtering and refining things that the work was born and found its rightful timing.
Frühlings Erwachen dealt with the early emotions and desires of adolescents. In La Dispute, four young people play a fundamental role in the story. Is this purely coincidental or are you especially inspired by youth?
There is no such thing as coincidence. I don't know if it is youth that inspires me: in both cases it was not my initial impulse to explore that theme. But it is true that there is a certain rapport between the two subjects. La Dispute could almost be seen as a sequel to Frühlings Erwachen seeing that the adolescents in Wedekind's play are fourteen years old and here they are young people of around eighteen years of age. In Frühlings the adults were absent but formed a kind of coercive super-ego, although in some scenes they were in a room nearby, taking a position on the destiny of the adolescents, yet avoiding communication.
But is it the same thing in La Dispute?
Yes and no: we find a couple of around forty years of age, a couple which has already existed and has a history, who are in crisis and, hidden, watch young people emerging from adolescence. What I find interesting in this play is that, at the end, the adults and the young people are as one, whereas at the beginning there is a huge difference. The young people are outside social conventions and have no experience of human relationships, but they learn fast. Finally there is a kind of communal disillusionment. For the youngsters, it is the shock of realising that they have been manipulated and that love is not a simple thing. For the Prince and Hermiane, it is the disillusion of having believed that they could learn something about themselves by watching two young inexperienced couples struggling, whereas they realise, in the end, that the problems are the same and that neither a return to nature nor reason can bring real solutions. At the end of the play, at the end of the experiment, there remains only one question, "What shall we do now?" It is, in a way, an invitation to take responsibility for one's own destiny, as a couple or as a human being. It's funny, and it never occurred to me before, but basically at the end of Frühlings it's the same thing. The masked man who comes to save Melchior does not moralise – there is also no moral at the end of La Dispute – he holds out his hand to him and asks him to return to the land of men, in a way to choose and accept his destiny. There is, therefore, a relationship between the two, but I would say that is more to do with the outcome of each of these operas than with the idea of youth as such.
How do you work? Who or what is your inspiration when you are composing?
It is the characters that inspire me, what they say, but also the global context of the scenes and the feelings all that provokes in me. I recite the lines aloud to try and find the rhythm, and, once I have found the right rhythmic inflection, the melody comes almost in parallel. But there is a kind of induction or filter in relation to the voice, which is a product of elements of typology. How to treat such a character in relation to another? In La Dispute the musical treatment must, of course, be different for the three types of couples: on the one hand the gods Eros and Cupid, let's say a metaphor for a complementary binomial, who are also the two instructors who manipulate, on the other hand the couple of Hermiane and the Prince, well established in social conventions, cultured etc and finally the youngsters who are virgins and have almost animal responses, even if they are educated and can express themselves. The musical treatment is different but at the end it all comes together. Not really because the characters have changed, even though there is a shock when the veil of the experiment is lifted, but simply because the experiment is over and, deep down, they all arrive at the same conclusion, the same disillusionment.
Your job is finished now … The score is now edited. How do you envisage the rehearsal period of this production?
Of course I'll be there for the rehearsals, especially at the end. If the composer is there it saves time. For example when the orchestra is rehearsing, from a practical point of view, there are sometimes questions about something in the score that is not clear or mistakes. Knowing what I had in mind, I can react and make corrections. During the singers' rehearsals, you sometimes realise that certain parts could be improved, the nuances or the rhythm, to give a better interpretation of the text. And then, when it is a new work, the composer can play a certain role in helping the musicians lose their inhibitions when faced with the unknown. Often, the first contact with a work can give the musicians a fear of its complexity. The performer is then likely to become obsessed with what is in the score, even though the writing is only the interface of a musical reality of which we cannot note all the subtleties. By concentrating solely on the musical text, on its expression, we sometimes risk forgetting to leave a space for the performance, which is, for me, the determining factor. To be there at the rehearsals is to encourage the singers and musicians and to try and take them further. It is necessary to find a way, in parallel with the work on stage, to strive for the same result: that the work speaks to us, that the feelings are clearly expressed and that they can be strongly felt by the audience. Later on, during the rehearsals in the main theatre, I will be happy to be there for there is another question that arises, that of balance, the necessity for equilibrium between the voices and the orchestra.
And then there will be the satisfaction to hear and see the results of this lengthy process…

Navy divers confirm sunken wreck is USS Houston
PEARL HARBOR, Oahu — Divers from the U.S. and Indonesian navies have confirmed that a sunken vessel in the Java Sea is the World War II wreck of the cruiser USS Houston.
The Japanese sank the Houston during the Battle of Sunda Strait on Feb. 28, 1942. The sunken vessel is the final resting place for about 700 sailors and Marines.
U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Harry Harris announced the identification Monday and said divers have documented evidence the watery gravesite has been disturbed.
Assessments conducted in June to determine the condition of the Houston found that hull rivets, a metal plate and unexploded ordnance were removed from the ship. There's also oil actively seeping from the hull.
Officials are working on measures to keep the site from further disturbance.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Now signed to one of the largest Christian labels in the country, Switchfoot temporarily tabled their plans to reach out to a broader audience. Their first two albums, The Legend of Chin and New Way to Be Human, were marketed almost exclusively toward Christian listeners, who took an immediate shine to the band's music. Keyboardist Jerome Fontamillas joined the band for 2000's Learning to Breathe, which found Switchfoot taking more steps toward a mainstream alt-rock sound. Breathe became a transitional record for the group, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Gospel Album and selling over 500,000 copies, thus achieving gold status. Its success, coupled with the band's presence on the hit soundtrack to the 2002 film A Walk to Remember, set Switchfoot up for a healthy major-label run.
The Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot's debut album for Columbia Records, was issued during the spring of 2003. It represented the quartet's full evolution from a Christian group to a mainstream rock act, eventually earning double platinum sales and producing two Top 20 hits: "Dare You to Move" and "Meant to Live." Switchfoot returned in September 2005 with their fifth album, Nothing Is Sound, which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. Nothing Is Sound went gold, sparked another radio hit in "Stars," and was the first Switchfoot recording to include the work of additional guitarist Andrew Shirley (formerly a member of the contemporary Christian group All Together Separate), who'd been a touring member of Switchfoot since 2003. Wasting little time, the band returned to the studio with veteran U.K. producer Tim Palmer to begin work on its sixth album, one that found the guys broadening their musical scope. The resulting Oh! Gravity. appeared at the tail end of 2006.
Oh! Gravity. turned out to be Switchfoot's last album for a major label. Less than a year after its release, Jon Foreman announced the band's decision to leave Columbia Records and form its own label, lowercase people records. Columbia pulled together some of the band's greatest hits for a last-minute compilation, The Best Yet, while the band set to work on another record. At the same time, Foreman began releasing a string of solo EPs, each of them named after a specific season. He also formed Fiction Family, a folk-pop side project, with Nickel Creek guitarist Sean Watkins. Fiction Family's self-titled debut was released in January 2009, followed one month later by another Switchfoot album, Hello Hurricane, which won the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album. Several months after the band's Grammy win, Switchfoot returned with Vice Verses, an album that highlighted the band's rhythm section. During 2013, while touring in support of Vice Verses, Switchfoot made a film called Fading West, documenting the band's lifelong love of surfing. Their next album, also entitled Fading West, landed in January 2014. It saw the band freed from the typical constraints of the three-minute pop song, experimenting with unusual instruments and musical textures. Later that September the group a issued a short EP of supplemental material from the project, Fading West: The Edge of the Earth - Unreleased Songs. ~ Jason Ankeny & Andrew Leahey

|Vandals can't stay with SJSU
MOSCOW, Idaho – There was a lot of fight in the Idaho Vandals Saturday afternoon – just not quite enough to subdue San Jose State in a Western Athletic Conference football game at the Kibbie Dome.
In coach Jason Gesser's debut as the Vandals' interim head coach, Idaho held strong for nearly quarters before a bobble here and a stumble there sent the Spartans rolling to a 42-13 victory before 14,429 Dads' Weekend fans.
"It didn't go the way we wanted it to go," Gesser said. "Our defense came out and played very well tonight. Offensively, we need to convert on third down. We just need to convert. We need to execute. We need more reps. Bottom line."
Senior Logan Bushnell, starting in lieu of the dismissed Dominique Blackman, was 14-of-29 for 196 yards and one TD, while junior Taylor Davis was three-of-eight for 11 yards in his second quarter stint. Senior Mike Scott was the team's leading receiver with nine catches for 79 yards, while junior Najee Lovett had the scoring catch on a 12-yarder from Bushnell in the opening seconds of the game.
It was that strong start – D'Mario Carter's recovery of David Freeman's fumble on the opening kickoff, that put the spark in the Vandals that lasted until a four-minute flurry that saw the Spartans bolt from a 21-13 lead into a commanding 42-13 edge with 9:07 left in the game.
SJSU quarterback David Fales found Chandler Jones between Vandal defenders for a 35-yard scoring strike with :34 left in the third for a 28-13 lead. After trading possessions to start the fourth quarter, the Vandals again were punting only to have a kick catching interference call give San Jose State the ball on the Idaho 45. Fales handed off once then went to the air for three straight plays with the final one a six-yarder to Noel Grisby to score with 9:42 left in the game and a 35-13 SJSU lead.
On his second pass of the Vandals' next series, Bushnell was intercepted and Bene Benwikere returned the ball 47 yards for the 42-13 lead with 9:07 to go in the game.
"There were just a couple quick plays here and there that got away from us," Bushnell said. "My interception didn't help."
Nevertheless, Gesser praised the effort of the Vandals.
"For the most part," he said, "I was very proud of how they stayed together. It was good to see that. We have to keep pushing forward.
"I hate losing more than I like winning. I'll tell you that much right now."
Gesser also was appreciative of the raucous Vandal crowd.
"I want to thank all the fans and students who came out," Gesser said. "I looked at that student section and it was rocking. It was awesome.
"I appreciate all their support through these tough times."

I am using Webmail (RoundCube) on cPanelX, using BlueHost web hosting.
I am planning to move to Google Apps, is there any way to move my existing mail to Gmail?
BlueHost already have a Knowledgebase Article about How to access your e-mail with Gmail. You can skip the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) section as you presumably won't be using their service to send mail any more.
These are basically the instructions for using Google's Mail Fetcher to pull in old email, but they include BlueHost-specific settings. BlueHost had decent screenshots with their instructions, but for completeness they're as follow:
Since RoundCube supports IMAP, I searched for some solutions to migrate emails to Google using IMAP, and I did find imapsync. There are some steps available to guide you through (though it is mainly tailored for Linux users.
If it is not feasible for you, you can read more about migrating to Google Apps to see if any of these fits you.

- What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is an industry standard for the wireless networking of devices over short distances.Denne oppføringen ble sist oppdatert: 10. desember 2013 18:54
Bluetooth provides a wireless interface through which small mobile devices (e.g. mobile phones and PDAs), computers and peripherals can communicate with each other. The main purpose of Bluetooth is to make cable connections between devices superfluous.
The first connection between two specific devices (pairing) must be initiated manually. This usually requires a password to be entered. If both devices have a keyboard, the password is freely selectable. Otherwise the password is specified by the device without a keyboard. This password is often "0000". You will always find the password in the corresponding manual. Depending on the Bluetooth settings you select, the devices will connect automatically the next time they come within range of each other.
For details of how to initiate a Bluetooth connection with a certain device, refer to the manual issued for the device in question.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jennie Great sofa I got this sofa a month ago and I couldn't be happier. It is very comfortable, great shape and color, it was easy to assemble (only the legs had to be attached) and the size is perfect for 2-3 people. Great value for money. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by puppyluvchic Exactly what I was hoping for, and in perfect condition I read all the reviews on this page before purchasing this couch. I was concerned about the couch arriving in a dirty box with black marks or "hard yellow stuff" based on other people's experience. I'm very happy to report that this was not the case. The box was completely clean on the outside, the couch was well protected by a mesh cover, and the couch was perfectly clean. I think World Market has stepped up their game on making sure products meet quality standards (I talked to a GM at my local store about my concern, he said World Market is working on it). It looks fabulous in my living room. Completely transformed the space and is good quality. Exceeded my expectations December 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaycee Just what I was looking for. Love this sofa! I was looking everywhere for a nice ivory sofa that was not too deep (I have a very narrow room). I was afraid to get one online, but I am so happy that I did. As others have stated, the box it comes in is dirty, but the delivery man warned me of this. The little bit of black that got on the sofa could be vacuumed or brushed off with nothing left behind (I think getting it wet may have caused issues with other customers). May 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amber Beautiful! I love our new sofa. One thing I did notice is that the box the sofa ships in is VERY dirty. If you aren't careful just getting the sofa out of the box will put black-ish smudges on it. Nothing a little upholstery cleaner can't fix! It is beautiful; great material and compliments our formal living room perfectly. Would definitely recommend! May 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MamaDoc2 Great sofa...High end look, low end price! I had been looking for a sofa for quite awhile, found one at another retailer but at twice the price.. luckily I spotted this one before making my purchase! I'm not kidding myself, its not exactly on par with the more expensive sofas and as mentioned in some of the other reviews, its not as substantial/heavy as a more expensive piece but its beautiful, as beautiful as the higher end ones and its comfortable, so I'm perfectly happy to pay half the price :) December 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by chocolate06 excellent bang for your buck. It is important to screw the legs the right way. I received the sofa today and it totally met my expectations. I had looked for a tufted not so big but comfortable sofa to put in my living room. I had found some options at other stores but they were over my budget. World Market gave me a less expensive option with a great look I also bought reading chairs from World Market to complete the look and I am happy with the result. One detail that is important is to put the legs appropriately otherwise the sofa will feel wabbly. Although it is easy to assemble the legs, if they are not well adjusted the sofa will not be sturdy. November 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Katherine Beautiful couch (and beautiful price tag!) I bought this couch for a new city apartment. I was initially put off by the idea of ordering a couch online without ever sitting on it, but I'm glad I did - it's very Pottery Barn-esque without the terribly high cost. The material reminds me of a soft linen, and the seat is nice and deep. Throw a few pretty pillows on it and it's quite comfy. This couch won't make a very good sofa for guests to sleep on because of its size, but as a stylish addition to your living room, it's great. It's definitely lighter than some of the couches I've come across when furniture shopping, but we haven't really had any problems with it sliding around on our hardwood floors. We're going to put a rug under it just in case. Do keep in mind that it's a true ivory color and will stain easily - we're going to have to sip our red wine elsewhere, but that's ok! Overall, I'm very happy with this product. July 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ABHouston Good value for $$ My husband and I purchased two of these sofas after reading all the reviews posted. As informed consumers we hoped our sofas would not have the black marks described by other reviewers but were not shocked or upset when they did. We were able to arrange them so the black marks are facing walls but I can understand how people might be upset over this. You've been warned now so plan accordingly. The sofas are lovely and comfortable and we feel look more expensive than they are. They are also great for older homes or any smaller living/sitting room because they have a sleek, low profile and don't take up much space. The seating is deep, which is great so we can add colorful cushins and not worry about our guests feeling like they are being pushed out of their seats by pillows. They are a sinch to put together but probably better to have two people there if only to flip them over once the legs are attached. Overall, we are very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend them. The fact we could afford two of them and they match perfectly says a lot about the appropriate pricing and standard of production. June 21, 2013

Photograpghy is my avocation, not my occupation. I have been a serious photographer since 1971 when I was the photographer for my highschool yearbook. I began taking pictures for NCADA in the early 1990s, when my daughter was a dancer there. As my skills (and digital technology) have improved, I started doing dance photos professionally. I look forward to each performance as if my daughters were still dancing.

Price: $19.95
Follow the largest carnivore that walks the earth, the great Kodiak bear, down ancient feeding trails, up salmon-rich riverseven into a den where a mother nurses her newborn cubs. You'll watch cubs learning to fish, bears gorging in berry-laden fields, and a remarkable scene of bears consuming a beached whale carcass. The setting is Alaska's Kodiak Island, where 4,000-foot mountains rise from hundreds of miles of jagged coastline. Today about 2,700 of these larger cousins of the well-known grizzly bear still thrive there. But change looms on the horizon. Portions of the island are open to development. Dramatic home videos of dangerous tourist/bear encounters capture the uneasy clashes of Kodiak's modern and natural worlds. Enjoy this rare look into the lives of the Giant Bears of Kodiak Island, produced and photographed by renowned wildlife filmmaker Wolfgang Bayer.

When New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg chose Cathie Black, the chairwoman of Hearst Magazines, to be chancellor of the city's public school system, there were about five seconds of media speechlessness, followed by several weeks of outrage. huh? squawked the Daily News. Parents protested and threatened lawsuits. Despite her long and successful career as a publishing executive—Bloomberg called her a "superstar manager"—Black had never worked in education and didn't seem to have thought much about public schools. Her own two children had attended private schools. And this was a troubled moment for New York administrators: A recalibration of state tests had resulted in a drop in scores, and a documentary, Waiting for "Superman," made the entire American public school system look like an elaborately constructed failure machine. Nor would Black be undertaking a small job: There are more than a million children in the city's public schools, served by 135,000 teachers and staff (at Hearst Magazines, Black oversaw a team of 2,000). In addition, Black needed to get a waiver from the state because there were legal requirements for the position—graduate training, time in a classroom—that she didn't meet. In the end, though, neither that nor the public dismay mattered. Black got the waiver, although she had to appoint an experienced deputy chancellor as her "chief academic officer." She started work in January, less than two months after the first shocked headline.
Whether Black makes a success of the job won't be clear for many months, if not years (though her recent joking suggestion that birth control might be a solution to school overcrowding was an inauspicious start). But her appointment is not an isolated example of inexperience rising to the top: Recent hires in business and elections to Congress suggest that when institutions and organizations are alarmed by the status quo, turning to someone from a different field can become acceptable or even fashionable. Cathie Black most likely wouldn't have been considered for the spot if there hadn't been deep unhappiness with public school systems across the country—if it hadn't come to seem that knowing how schools were run meant simply having practice in repeating the mistakes of the past. "If an organization is in trouble, it is more likely to bring in an outsider," says Boris Groysberg, associate professor in the organizational-behavior unit at Harvard Business School. The idea conjures a compelling image: the white knight riding in to restore order to the kingdom. Or as Daniel Pink, author of the best-selling business books A Whole New Mind and Drive, puts it, "It's an image you see even in religion—the untainted hero who will come in and solve the mess."
There's also the heroine. For women, who may be denied access to traditional paths to power, a moment in which outsiders are welcomed presents tremendous opportunity. Of course, taking a chance in a new field is not without risk, and a woman who leaps can find herself teetering on what is known as a glass cliff, cousin of the glass ceiling. "In difficult or transitional times, women are more likely to be chosen for leadership jobs in which the likelihood of failure is high," says Barbara Lee, a Boston philanthropist who started a foundation, which bears her name, to promote women in politics and the arts. Cliffs are dangerous—but they're also exciting for the chances they offer.
In 2001, Claudia Kotchka was a department head at Procter & Gamble when the new CEO asked her to lead the company's design efforts. She refused at first, but when he pressed, she agreed to take the job. Kotchka had never trained as a designer—her background was in accounting—and now she was, as Fast Company put it, "one of the highest-ranking design executives in the country." In her new role, Kotchka pushed to have design-thinking integrated into the way
everything was done at P&G, a shift that was part of a broad transformation that saw the company's net sales more than double in 10 years, from $39 billion to $79 billion. Kotchka says her outsider status turned into an asset, allowing her to see early on, for instance, that the designers "didn't really understand what they knew and didn't know, and what they had to offer." Among other initiatives, she set up the Clay Street Project, an in-house think tank that drew people from all over the company into efforts to reimagine product design. "Finance turned out to have some of the most creative people, which was a surprise," Kotchka says. "Companies don't make use of the talent they have, because they define experience narrowly."
Looking for talent in unexpected places can pay off for a company. For example, when Gucci hired Robert Polet away from Unilever, where he had been in charge of frozen foods, Polet was roundly mocked. But the move worked; profits have nearly tripled since Polet was hired in 2004. In education, Teach for America is premised on finding teaching skill in people who've never attended teacher-training schools. (In a way, Cathie Black's hiring is Teach for America writ large.) And the strategy can work even in sports: Last year Iowa State University, with a troubled basketball team on its hands, hired former NBA player Fred Hoiberg, even though he had never coached before. Now the team is expected to make the NCAA tournament, an outcome so surprising that the Wall Street Journal recently noted, "Hoiberg's running start is raising a provocative question for college basketball: Is coaching experience necessary?"
In 2008, when Gail McGovern became the American Red Cross's CEO, she had no experience in disaster relief or in the public sector; she had been an executive at AT&T and Fidelity. But the Red Cross had gone through six leaders in seven years, assembling a catalog of scandals involving everything from an extramarital affair to dodgy blood collection. It needed a change—and McGovern was teetering on a classic glass cliff. "If it was going to be a walk down easy street, I wasn't interested," she says. "I made a lot of trips; I did a lot of listening—to our staff, our donors, people in shelters." Two years later, McGovern has eliminated a $209 million operating deficit and mounted a fund-raising campaign for Haitian- earthquake relief that successfully made use of social networking and texting. So far, she's kept her balance.
In government, the definition of experience has always been relatively broad. The ideal of the citizen politician is very American—think of the Norman Rockwell painting of a laborer standing up at a town meeting. Men who have won praise in business or the military have often run for elective office, and no one seems to think they needed to apprentice themselves. The first office General Dwight Eisenhower tried for was president; same for General Ulysses S. Grant. Ronald Reagan had a career in Hollywood, though not just as an actor—he led the Screen Actors Guild, then spent years as a speaker for conservative causes before winning the California governorship. Michael Bloomberg, Cathie Black's new boss, built a media company and made a few billion dollars before he ran for mayor, but he had zero experience in politics. Bloomberg exemplifies how troubled times can make such moves seem more plausible: As Pink points out, Bloomberg won the primary just after "one of the most traumatic days in American history"—September 11, 2001.
But the most prominent example of the increasing irrelevance of direct experience in politics may be the rise of the Tea Party and Sarah Palin. This past November saw the election of Tea Party candidates like Kentucky's Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist, to the U.S. Senate. It helped Paul that he had a well-known name—his father, Ron Paul, is a congressman and former presidential candidate—and that his opponent ran a brutally negative campaign, which backfired by reminding voters of what they didn't like about professional politicians. Another Tea Partyer, Ron Johnson, who had spent his entire career in the plastics-manufacturing business, defeated Russ Feingold (who had been representing Wisconsin in the Senate for nearly two decades) by telling voters, "I'm just a guy from Oshkosh" and "I've never been to Washington"—as if D.C. were some sort of infectious zone.
Then there's Palin. When John McCain named her his running mate in the summer of 2008, she had spent 18 months governing a state with a population smaller than that of Columbus, Ohio. Before then, she was the mayor of tiny Wasilla. Her nomination robbed the McCain campaign of one of its strongest arguments against Barack Obama: his own lack of experience. And yet Palin, excoriated for her lack of knowledge and know-how, is now one of the country's most prominent Republicans. Palin sometimes argues in speeches and interviews that instinct and character can carry a person through; she even presents inexperience as a sort of advantage. "Your résumé not being as fat as your opponent's in a race, perhaps being able to capitalize on that . . . being able to use that in campaigns—I don't have 30 years of political experience under my belt," Palin told Time. "That's a good thing, that's a healthy thing." Palin, of course, quit her job as governor of Alaska, giving up an opportunity to gain more executive experience in order to write a book and star in a reality-TV show. Still, even her Facebook posts make headlines, as they did in January after the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others in Tucson. It is unclear whether Palin will aim for the presidency in 2012—she says she hasn't "closed the door"—and no one knows where she will end up next.
If she did win the top job in 2012, Palin would have something in common with another woman who ended up running a country after a dramatic and relatively late career change. In 1989, Angela Merkel was 35, divorced and working as a researcher at a university in East Germany; her specialty was quantum chemistry. Then the Berlin Wall came down. Merkel joined the protests against the East German regime and, once the two countries were reunified, was elected to the Bundestag. There she impressed Helmut Kohl, the chancellor, who unexpectedly named her cabinet minister for women and youth. Kohl's nickname for her was das Mädchen, "the girl."
Merkel could easily have topped out there, somewhere in the upper-middle tier. The party she and Kohl belonged to, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), was run like an old boys' club. Then Kohl and the party's top leaders became enmeshed in a campaign-finance and influence-peddling scandal. Merkel, whom they had never completely admitted to their circle, wasn't implicated. One of the few CDU leaders left standing, she took over. The party had been voted out, but six years later, in 2005, she led the Christian Democrats to victory and was re-elected in 2009. Being an outsider had saved her from being caught in a mess that could have destroyed her career.
Still, competence counts. Sometimes an outsider can't, or won't, leverage his or her out-of-the-box skills while assembling enough in-house expertise to fix the broken parts. In 2000, Robert Nardelli left GE, where he had lost a fight to succeed Jack Welch, and took over at Home Depot, despite having no significant retail experience. Instead of becoming a savior, in 2009 he made Portfolio magazine's list of the "Worst American CEOs of All Time" (he stepped down at Home Depot in 2007). Nardelli was criticized for not respecting Home Depot's culture—for example, the way it retained salespeople who knew a lot about fixing things—or what anyone but he himself had to offer. In a very different field of endeavor, Michael Jordan discovered he couldn't just change out of his basketball uniform and play a serious game of baseball.
Even in politics, a promise of change—magic for Barack Obama in 2008—is often not enough to inspire voters. This election cycle saw the failure of three women, all Republicans, who hoped to turn business success into political power: Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay, who ran for governor in California; Carly Fiorina, who had been CEO of Hewlett-Packard and aimed for the Senate, also in California (and who was on that Portfolio list with Nardelli); and Linda McMahon, who built up World Wrestling Entertainment and ran for the Senate in Connecticut. In those cases, it may have been the candidates' inexperience in running for office—rather than in governing—that became the problem. "They ran bad campaigns," says Rebecca Traister, author of Big Girls Don't Cry: The Election That Changed Everything for American Women. In billionaire Whitman's case, it was made all the worse by dramatic overspending (she put $144 million of her own money into the campaign) and what Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers, called "personal missteps" (one involving a housekeeper who was an undocumented worker). Pink thinks Whitman should have investigated the ways in which politics and business are not alike, and taken the time to figure out who the "stakeholders" were. "My guess is that Meg Whitman did less due diligence in her own transition than she would have allowed in eBay making an acquisition," he says.
Sometimes no one notices that inexperience is a problem until something goes wrong. When Michael Brown was appointed to lead the Federal Emergency Management Agency in 2003, few people registered that the most elevated title on his résumé was head of the International Arabian Horse Association. Then Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, and a lot of people noticed. Brown is best remembered as a paragon of obliviousness, the hapless recipient of George W. Bush's now-legendary compliment, "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie." As an agency head, Brown seemed not to even know what needed to happen when disaster struck, much less be able to make it happen. FEMA turned away relief trucks and planes sent to evacuate people, and Brown himself became overwhelmed. ("Can I quit now?" he e-mailed a colleague the day of the storm.) Three days in, he told Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News that he didn't realize there were refugees in the New Orleans Convention Center, even though there had been live television broadcasts from the scene for some time.
So what are the ingredients of success for those who leap into a field in which they lack direct experience? For one thing, it can help to be a woman. Harvard's Groysberg has studied the "portability" of skills, using a sample set of financial professionals. He found that even in moves between familiar settings, there tends to be a dip in performance as executives figure out things like "where the bodies are buried," in his words. But there is an interesting caveat: "The dip is only applicable to men," he says. "Star women do really well when they move."
One reason for women's exceptional resilience may be that they know how to build connections outside their firms, as when Kotchka reached out to the larger design world. "What I find is not that men and women build franchises differently because of innate differences," says Groysberg. "Instead, women become more portable because they've faced institutional barriers." In the financial industry, for example, women historically "found themselves unemployed faster than men" and missed benefits like the sharing of information in informal settings. Since resources and allies were harder to find, the women who succeeded had looked for them beyond the next cubicle. Says Groysberg: "Most women at the top are survivors." Or as McGovern interprets it, "Never turn down the job no one else wants. You'll learn a lot, and if you're not challenged, you're not growing."

This series allows Regis students to hear war experiences directly from the veterans who lived them. Hosted and moderated by Rick Crandall, with academic insights from Regis Professors Dan Clayton and Tom Bowie, it provides fascinating insights into how ordinary men and women dealt with the experiences of war and how it shaped their lives.The general public is invited to join Regis students in this series. Each 2-hour presentation starts at 6PM in the Science Building Ampitheater on the Denver campus. Seating is limited and the public is urged to arrive before 5:30PM for the best chance of being seated. Once the room is full, no additonal spectators can be allowed in the ampitheater. The Regis University Center for the Study of War Experience, formally inaugurated as an official University program in November 2004, preserves the memories and histories of war veterans to deepen our understanding of what ordinary people do in war. The Center makes this history permanently available to students, teachers, and the general public in an extensive archival collection of videotaped interviews and written testimonies of war veterans. The Center's administrative office and archives are housed in Regis University's Main Hall. To secure its future as an important national repository of war memories, the Center seeks funding to support its ongoing activities. We encourage folks to consider making a gift to the Regis University Center for the Study of War Experience to help us keep these memories alive forever.

Ultra Pro Penny Soft Sleeve Card Holders
|Ultra Pro Soft Sleeves
2" 5/8 X 3" 5/8 - Standard Card Size Holder
100 Pack SRP : $1.00-2.00
Soft sleeves are a MUST in any collection because they help keep your cards safe. Every card that has any value to me is at the very least protected in a soft sleeve. These are the most popular type of single card holders and in the early 1990's they were known as the "penny sleeve" because you could usually get a pack of 100 for $1.00. Times have changed and like everything else, the price for soft sleeves has gone up slightly, but if you buy in bulk sometimes you can get them for less then a buck a pack. I recently bought about 10 packs of 100 each at a local hobby store for around $15.00 after sales tax was included.
There is actually some technology behind these 'acid free' card holders as they are specially designed to preserve the protection of your card for years to come. Ultra Pro boasts that their soft sleeves are archival safe. Some of the older Bowman Chrome and Topps Chrome products would 'stick' to these when stored for long periods of time. Topps has worked to correct that issue - which was a printing flaw for those early brands.
Best Web Deal: 10 Packs (1000 total sleeves) - $12.49 ($1.24 per 100 pack!)

Police: Suspect flees, almost hit officers at grocery store
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 9:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 9:36 a.m.
Lexington police say a man nearly hit officers with his car after fleeing from the Food Lion on Winston Road.
Two officers responded to the store at 848 Winston Road on Monday afternoon after the man, who was identified in police reports, was attempting to push out a cart full of meat, according to records. While the officers were talking with the store's management, the man allegedly walked out of the store without trying to push the cart out.
When the two officers caught up to the suspect in the parking lot and tried to talk with him, he entered his vehicle and started backing up, just missing striking the officers, according to the report.
It was not immediately clear Thursday morning if the suspect has been taken into custody.

Nov 3, 2001
By JOHN K. WILEY
Associated Press Writer
PULLMAN, Wash. - Lamont Thompson watched Cory Paus all week on film and was attracted to the UCLA quarterback's eyes.
On Saturday, Thompson had a school-record four interceptions and Washington State kept DeShaun Foster in check as the No. 16 Cougars beat No. 9 UCLA 20-14.
"He stares down where he's going to throw," Thompson said after catching his 21st career interception. "I went where his eyes went and the ball just sort of floated in the air."
The Cougars (8-1, 5-1 Pacific-10) held Foster, the conference's leading rusher, to 102 yards on 28 carries, well below his 144-yard average. Foster scored one of the Bruins' touchdowns, but also fumbled to set up a Washington State score.
"We should have put him in at receiver," Washington State coach Mike Price said. "He intercepted four passes and knocked down a few more. He played great."
The Bruins (6-2, 3-2) saw their hopes of winning the Pac-10 Championship slip a week after losing a shot at the national championship.
"It's a really empty feeling," UCLA coach Bob Toledo said. "We feel handcuffed now. We'll go back to work and try to plug the holes, but we're losing a lot of players" to injuries.
Thompson, a senior who sat out last season with a neck injury, intercepted two of Cory Paus' passes in the last 3 minutes to end UCLA's comeback bids.
WSU held UCLA to just 85 net yards rushing and 225 yards of total offense, while the Bruins limited the Cougars to 276 yards.
Washington State's Jason Gesser was 16-of-36 for 187 yards and a touchdown with three interceptions. He also led the Cougars in rushing with 47 yards on 14 carries.
"He can play better than that," Price said of his quarterback. "He's kicking himself for some of his decisions."
Foster's fumble on the Washington State 16 was scooped up by linebacker Al Genatone, who ran it back 73 yards to give the Cougars a 17-7 lead in the third quarter.
Paus, who did not start because of an injury to his right thumb, entered the game after starter Ryan McCann threw two interceptions. Paus was 7-of-19 for 107 yards and a touchdown and was intercepted three times by Thompson.
Washington State led 10-7 at the half.
McCann completed 3 of 8 passes for 33 yards and two interceptions, both of which led to scores.
"They covered all of our linemen and played bump and run," Toledo said of the Cougars defense. "They have never shown that before and it surprised us. They dared us to throw the ball and we couldn't do it tonight."
Thompson stepped in front of McCann's pass on the Washington State 42 late in the first quarter. Six plays later, Gesser hit Mark Baldwin with a 27-yard scoring pass. Thompson got his second interception of the night in the fourth quarter, thwarting a Bruins' drive and returning the ball to the WSU 42.
Marcus Trufant, starting for the first time since breaking his right thumb Sept. 25, intercepted McCann's pass and returned it 26 yards to the WSU 47. Drew Dunning kicked a 30-yard field goal to make it 10-0 early in the second period. Dunning also connected on a 25-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
Foster's 26-yard scoring run came after Nate Fikse punted, pinning the Cougars on their own 13 and backup quarterback Matt Kegel was sacked on the WSU 5.
After the Cougars punted, Foster accounted for 35 of his 80 first-half yards in the next two plays. Starting on the Washington State 35, Foster ran for 9 yards, then scampered for the score down the left sidelines.
Ben Emanuel stepped in front of Gesser's pass and returned it 29 yards to bring the Bruins to 17-14 late in the third period.
Trufant forced Bruins wide receiver Tab Perry to fumble on the UCLA 28 early in the third quarter, but Gesser was unable to score from the 3 and the Bruins took over on downs, escaping a Cougars scoring threat.
Perry was taken by ambulance to a hospital for a rib injury.
Washington State was without running back Dave Minnich, who had surgery on his right knee Oct. 10. Without him, the Cougars twice turned the ball over on fourth-and-1 deep inside UCLA territory.
The last UCLA win in Pullman was in the 1993 season. The teams last met to open the 1997 season in Pullman, a 37-34 WSU victory.
Dunning missed a 47 yard field goal attempt at the end of the second quarter after the Cougars had driven from their own 20 to the Bruins 30.

The dictionary defines body image as a person's perception of their own physical appearance. Body image is formed from a variety of experiences and, while not exclusive to the female gender, it can be a problem for many women throughout their lives. Many things affect how a woman feels about her body -- from puberty to pregnancy to menopause and every media or personal influence in between.
Menopause may be one such influence. Body image may be affected by the physical, emotional, and social changes of approaching menopause. Menopause at an earlier age caused by surgery or chemotherapy can have an even greater effect on self-perception. Taking steps to improve health will transform and enhance every woman's sense of well-being and may help create a more positive body image. Need a little motivation?
Try these simple suggestions to get started:
- Compliment yourself: Some women focus on their flaws. Instead, they should try focusing on their finer features. Write down a compliment or two and refer to it when you find yourself obsessing about those not-so-favorite traits.
- Feed your inner self (zero calories!): Engaging in enjoyable activities helps women feel good about themselves. Activities that are social or relaxing or spiritual can help eliminate the stress and anxiety that may keep women critical of their bodies.
- Exercise tends to make women feel better about their body whether they lose weight or not: A poor body image can lead to emotional distress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and disordered eating. Learning to take care of and love your body is crucial to happiness and wellness.
