Goldman names Lemkau M&A chief
Goldman Sachs has named veteran banker Gregg Lemkau to the post of global co-head of mergers and acquisitions, according to a memo circulated within the firm on Monday morning.
Lemkau is currently the firm's head of M&A in the European and Asian-Pacific regions, based in London. He is being promoted to global co-head of the merger unit alongside Gene Sykes, another Goldman veteran who has held the role solely since the departure last year of Yoel Zaoui, who had shared the title with him. Lemkau plans to remain in London.
The post Lemkau is assuming is an important one in the deal world given that Goldman remains the firm to beat in the merger-and-acquisition advisory game.
M&A advice, which can be very lucrative and a gateway to other business for Wall Street firms, has taken on new prominence as a result of the waning profitability and influence of the trading arms of banks such as Goldman. Still, the M&A market remains in the doldrums more than four years after the global financial crisis erupted, and until it truly comes back to life, the business will pale in comparison to its former self as a moneymaker.
The 43-year-old Lemkau's star has been on the rise for years. A partner for more than 10 years, he was tapped for his current role in 2011. He has held a series of high-level jobs at Goldman, including co-head of its global technology, media and telecom group and chief operating officer of investment banking. At one point, he was also co-head of health care. In London for about four years, Lemkau joined the firm as an M&A analyst in 1992.
"Gregg will work closely together with Gene, as well as with Michael Carr, head of Americas M&A, to lead this important client franchise which is core to our investment banking business," Goldman senior executives wrote in the memo, which was viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The post of head of M&A in the European region will be filled by Gilberto Pozzi, currently global co-head of consumer and retail, according to a second memo circulated at the firm.

Macklin, Barker ect..Whos the best ?
With Lee calling out Barker, and rumors of Macklin calling out Lee: There are some good Middleweight fights that could be made on these shores.
So, that said..In what order would you rank the following Middleweights:
Macklin, Proksa, Barker, Murray, Lee?

i cant rank them but i believe barker is the best out of the lot of them,ill be able to tell more when murray takes on sergio,him and macklin have the same similar style so its a good pointer,barker altogether is different,he is a classy boxer who can bang and is good defensively,thats why i rate him as better than the other two for now.
but for the record,billy joe saunders beats them all in 12-16 month!

Not sure if its just me but i really dont rate Lee. I know Steward did which kindof craps on my opinion a little but i dont really see what makes him special.
His footwork is slow, hes not especially powerful or accurate and it seems pretty easy to draw him into a war. He shown a good chin i suppose but still.
Other than that I also will need to Murray versus Martinez, though i expect him to do atleast as well as Barker or Macklin, maybe better depending on Martinez coping with age and injuries.
Between Barker and Macklin though I think Macklin would struggle with Barkers skills, but MAcklin has the power and workrate, so its a bit of a toss up imo.
And to Hugh Jass, cant wait for BJS to reach these guys

I think Barker is. I also believe that Murray is the weakest link.

I think it's a toss up between Macklin and Barker. But either way it's a really interesting mix of fighters, would be great to see them all fight each other over the next year or so.

Really hard to say. All are decent but all have limitations.
I knew nothing but Murray before the Sturm fight (other than results) but he impressed me & then even more so against Navarro - whom I know was a handpicked opponent, but Murray showcased some skills I didn't think he had in his arsenal.
Barker looked very good against Hope.
Macklin has had less than a round of winning action in 28 months so really hard to tell where he's at at the moment.
Saunders does look the nuts & before his bout with Blackwell I got on my little soapbox saying Blackwell was tougher than many thought.
Proksa's good win against Sylvester completely wiped out by his loss to Golovkin. He has a long road back.
Andy Lee really has to respond against Macklin. This bout shouldn't be about money as the winner will be right in the mix. Unless, of course, either isn't confident.
And don't forget that Eubank may progress through the ranks quickly. Ryder showed plenty in his last win &, if he can get the right team, Blackwell could be a player at European level. There's also Hattons boy Etches coming up.

Macklin, Proksa, Barker, Murray, Lee
I'd say:
1. Macklin
2. Barker
=3. Murray
=3. Proksa
4. Lee
I've always found Lee to be a tad overrated. I think all 4 guys beat him. Murray has really impressed me but his level of competition isn't up there with Barker and Macklin. Macklin edges it at 1 but I can see any number of scenarios where Barker could win.
Proksa for me is a mixed bag and if he is handled right I think we can only see him get better. He hits hard and is quick but his defence needs a real seeing to.

Andy 'Pandy' Lee would be well-advised to get straight back to the Booth gym and shut his cakehole based upon his performance in Belfast...
......Matt Christie from Boxing News did not rate his performance at all and Macklin and Barker would have surely had him toast right at the moment.
Barker and Macklin are equal for me at the moment.
Murray deserves mucho credit for taking-on Martinez & could be the man.
Saunders is nearly there and looks like the best long-term bet.

When the Georgia Bulldogs face the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Capital One Bowl, there will be very interesting positional match-ups that will catch both the Bulldogs and the Cornhsukers fans attention.
The most intriguing has to be the safety position as the Bulldogs feature Bacarri Rambo while the Cornhuskers feature Daimion Stafford.
Both players were all-conference players this season and both are expected to be drafted very high in the upcoming NFL Draft.
But who is the better safety?
Here's a look at how Rambo and Stafford stack up against each other.

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party on Sunday sought to trash the reports about Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh returning to its fold, saying the speculation was "misleading" and the party has suffered losses due to him and will not repeat the history.
Party spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury dubbed Mr Singh as a "back stabber who has no ideology."
"Saying that we are taking Singh back is nonsense and misleading. While in SP, Amar Singh had taken decisions in self-interest without taking high command in confidence due to which party had suffered loss and earned bad name in the past. The party will not allow him to repeat his misdeeds by taking him back," Mr Chowdhury said.

Week in Review
» Milestone: Greeley GoJo Sports coach Mike Huston reached a rare baseball milestone earlier this week.
With GoJo's Connie Mack sweep against Slammers Lakewood on Tuesday, Huston has won 1,400 Legion A games.
» Double up: Speaking of rare baseball occurrences, Greeley West's three- and four-hole hitters Alex DeLaCroix and Casey Fowler accomplished a baseball rarity by hitting back-to-back home runs in a nonleague game against Windsor on Thursday.
The dual blasts were part of a five-run fifth inning in which the Spartans had three home runs.
West won Game 1 7-4 before taking the second game 5-0.
» Still unblemished: Nearly a month into the season, Eaton's Legion A team has still not dropped a game. Despite facing a quality opponent Saturday in Thompson Valley , the Reds won 10-5 to improve to 19-0 overall.
» Nail-biter: On Tuesday, Valley prevailed against University in perhaps one of the most dramatic games of the week, walking away with a 5-4 Legion B win.
University erased a 4-1 lead with one run in the third and two more in the fourth, but the Vikings secured the winning run in the bottom of the seventh.
Big 5
Each week, The Tribune Sports staff ranks the five hottest teams at the moment, regardless of classification. These rankings are based on the sports desk's coverage and opinion only. This week, The Tribune looks at summer baseball:
1. Eaton
The Reds remain undefeated in both league (9-0) and overall (18-0.) But Eaton will be tested this week when it meets Greeley West in Legion A play.
2. GoJo's
GoJo's are flying high after winning the Tony Andenuncio Memorial Tournament last weekend and went 7-1 this week. They have won 12 of their last 13 games.
3. Greeley West
The Spartans moved to 21-6 and swept a doubleheader with Windsor on Thursday, avenging one of its few losses this summer.
4. Windsor
The Wizards were 10-9 after losing a pair of games to Greeley West this week.
5. Platte Valley
The Broncos have taken down Valley and University in Legion B games so far this summer.
» Game of the week
The Eaton Reds have stayed dominant so far this summer, but Greeley West will give them a run for their money.
The Spartans have been winning consistently as their bats have heated up in recent weeks.

"Tonight just happened to be 1,400 GoJo wins. It just makes me probably feel old 'cause it's so many years. It's neat, it's just a lot of ball games and it's just (I'm) fortunate over 30 years; that's a lot of good baseball players."
-Mike Huston, GoJo's coach, after winning his 1,400th Legion A baseball game.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 7
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 7 News Release: OSHA/ 05-2122-KAN
Date:Tuesday, November 08, 2005
Contact: Norma J. Conrad
Phone: (816) 426-5481
WICHITA, Kan. -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today announced the start of a statewide local emphasis program aimed at reducing workplace health hazards in the auto body shop industry in Kansas.
Workplace hazards are prevalent in the auto body repair industry. During fiscal year 2004, OSHA inspected 110 auto body shops nationwide and issued a total of 428 citations. Safety and health standards most frequently cited for violations in the industry cover spray finishing, using flammable and combustible materials; respiratory protection; handling, storage and use of flammable and combustible liquids; and hazard communication.
Health hazards often found in auto body work include exposure to solvents, such as isocyanates and other particulates. Under the local emphasis program, OSHA's Wichita office will randomly select for comprehensive health inspections auto body shops in Kansas involved in grinding, painting and sanding.
The agency's goal is to reduce employee exposures to these hazards through education and increased awareness. Training and outreach opportunities will be coordinated by the Wichita OSHA office.
Employers, workers, professional associations and labor organizations may request information on the program by contacting the Wichita OSHA office at (316) 269-6644, or toll-free in Kansas at 1-800-362-2896.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. The role of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department (DOL) releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request. Call (202) 693-7765 or TTY (202) 693-7755. DOL is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Resolution Trust Corporation:
Analysis of Selected Asset Sales and Financial Data
GGD-94-37: Published: Feb 1, 1994. Publicly Released: Feb 1, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 736-0479
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the costs and revenues associated with Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) assets under standard asset management and disposition agreement (SAMDA) contracts, focusing on: (1) holding costs and revenues; (2) holding times; (3) net recovery rates; and (4) how RTC could use asset information to maximize recoveries.
GAO found that: (1) it could not determine holding costs and revenues, holding times, and net recovery rates for most RTC assets due to the lack of uniform reporting requirements for financial data and RTC failure to provide SAMDA contractors with final sales information in a timely manner; (2) RTC has improved its Asset Manager System (AMS) by establishing uniform reporting requirements for asset sales and financial data and recording the results of auctions and portfolio sales; (3) complete revenue and expense data are available for about one-third of RTC assets; (4) two-thirds of RTC inventory assets incurred net holding costs and one-third produced net holding revenues; (5) 55 percent of RTC disposed assets incurred net holding costs and 45 percent produced net holding revenues; (6) net holding costs for all real estate assets tend to vary according to the asset's book value; (7) the average holding time for disposed assets is 232 days and 389 days for assets still in inventory; (8) net recovery rates for disposed assets average about 51 percent of their book value and 78 percent of the RTC estimated recovery value; and (9) RTC could use asset sales information to plan its asset disposition strategies and maximize recoveries.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: RTC incorporated the Summary of Recovery Rates for RTC Sales Initiatives, a comparative analysis, into its update of its Business Plan. This analysis included transactions occurring through December 1994, and included a comparison of all the major sales methods used by RTC. The analysis compares pre-sale asset valuation, gross sales price, net sales proceeds, and adjusted net sales proceeds but does not consider holding cost and holding times. RTC's information systems still do not capture this information and because of RTC's approaching sunset, no systems changes are planned to enable RTC to capture and use these data in calculating true net recoveries on the sale of assets. GAO concurs with RTC's position that it is not economically feasible to make further information system changes at this stage in RTC's life, and GAO is therefore closing this recommendation.
Recommendation: To help RTC manage its assets, the President and Chief Executive Officer, RTC, should use the asset sales and financial data being collected in AMS to analyze holding costs and revenues, holding times, and recovery rates of its assets. RTC should use the results of these analyses as one of many factors to better manage its assets and direct its disposition efforts in order to increase net recoveries.

electro dub aural and visual experiments
NEW TUNE for ODG Prod.
" The Music unites", was Marco's way of think. All the artists who met Marco took part in this compilation to get closer to him, again. Together we still believe in a dream: to spread basses, and be free to celebrate with the sound system's spirit. Marco was always able to get us move and to diffuse the energy he had in himself and that's what he leaves in each of us. The Bass power of every single track is strong like the message he left : Wake Up..... Not just a scream but a call for the souls. Violante, and all Marco's friends thank all the artists, Gabriele for the mastering work, Matt for the precious work he done and Tristan Josse for the Graphic artworks. As Marco and Alfredo said: " There is no authority but yourself

"In Deep" is the second fulllenght album of TNDC, out for BloodySound Fucktory and Alambic Conspiracy on the 3nd of November, 2014.
Exploring the boundaries of the dub music tradition, the Italian band comes out with a powerful synthesis of psychedelia and electronic elements. The final result is enhanced by the significant featurings of the Italian artists Lili Refrain and Uochi Toki, together with the wicked support of the producer Paolo Baldini.
The concept has been inspired by the work of the nihilist contemporary poet Andrea Palazzo, a Clusters' close friend, who died during the recording session. Trying to approach the inner deep dimensions of the human nature, the lyrics and the imaginary focus on a positive reaction as opposed to the negative era we are living.
In January 2009, after a long aural research, the Moscoloni brothers gave
life to The Natural Dub Cluster aiming to create new electronic routes
in dub music. A trademark of their live set is the sinergy with selfmade
visuals, thanks to the cooperation with Ike.
The whole quartet ratified the further intentions regarding their project by sharing the same roof as well as the same stage.
In April 2010 TNDC created " Negentropy", their debut album mixed and produced by Paolo Baldini's Alambic Conspiracy.
Throughout the years, the release has been followed by an intense live activity, compilations, radio spins and increasing positive feedbacks across Italy, USA, France and Germany.
New tracks have been released in the compilations "Italian Dub Community" ( 2010, 2011, 2012) and " The Missing Dub Version" (ODG records).
Nowadays, after more than 130 shows, four French and Swiss tours, the time has come for the second chapter: in Autumn 2014, TNDC release "In Deep", a dark introspective approach to dub music.
The album is out on Bloody Sound Fucktory(a prominent Italian altrock label) and Alambic Conspiracy and digitally on Elastica Records.

Carson City Hall was surrounded by nearly every fire crew in town early Friday after an early-morning worker found what appeared to be smoke filling the building.
She called 911, and fire officials blocked off all the streets around the building shortly before 7 a.m., including Carson Street.
Fire Chief Stacey Giomi said it turned out to be a leaking valve in a rooftop air conditioning unit that spilled Freon gas into the vents.
"They have been doing some work in the HVAC system over there, and we originally thought we had a fire in one of the heating or AC units," he said.
Giomi said the Freon "looked like it was smoke."
Maintenance and fire crews were able to shut down the valve and call air conditioning repair people. Giomi said it took only about 30 minutes to clear the building and open it for city workers.
The problem was fixed quickly and the air conditioning was turned on - which he said was important on what was, thus far, the warmest day of the year.

Discourse, Communication and Tourismby Annette Pritchard Adam Jaworski
For the first time ever, this book brings together an explicit linkage between empirical and theoretical perspectives on tourism and discourse. A broad social semiotic approach is adopted to analyze a range of spoken, written and visual texts providing a unique resource for researching and teaching tourism in the context of communication studies. Some of the key concepts explored in its chapters include space, representation, the tourist experience, identity, performance and authenticity, and the contributors are key sociologists of tourism as well as discourse analysts and sociolinguists.
Tourism and Gender: Embodiment, Sensuality and Experienceby Annette Pritchard Nigel Morgan Irena Ateljevic Candice Harris
This book seeks to advance feminist and gender tourism studies with its focus on embodiment. Broad themes include the construction of narratives, how discourses of desire, sensuality and sexuality pervade the tourism experience, the use of the body to represent femininity, masculinity and sensuality, and finally how travel and tourism allow for empowerment, resistance and carnivalesque opportunities.
Transformational Tourismby Stephen Wearing Annette Pritchard Nigel Morgan Omar Moufakkir Ian Kelly Melanie Smith Ulrike Gretzel Lorraine Brown Yvette Reisinger Simone Grabowski Patrick Holladay Paul Heintzman Jennifer Erderly Dr Mark Kanning Kylie Radel Eric Brymer Lauren Ponder Adrian Deville Agnes Nowaczek Yoon Jong Lee
Transformational Tourism deals with the important issue of how travel and tourism can change human behaviour and have a positive impact on the world. The book focuses on human development in a world dominated by post-9/11 security and political challenges, economic and financial collapses, and environmental threats. It identifies various types of tourism that can transform human beings, such as educational, volunteer, survival, community-based, eco, farm, extreme, religious, spiritual, wellness, and mission tourism.

A new study by University of Pennsylvania researchers suggests that a good night's sleep and a good diet go hand in hand, but it also contains some perplexing data that raises more questions than it answers.
"I can't tell people what to do yet," said Michael Grandner, a psychologist and sleep researcher at Penn's Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology.
The study he led, published online in the journal Appetite, examined the relationship between how much and what people ate and how long they slept. Eventually Grandner hopes to show whether changing your diet will make you sleep better or whether spending more time in bed will help you eat better.

The conservative said he doesn't believe his opponent is representing the values of the district well and, if elected, will steer away from a governmental mentality. Santiago's been actively involved with county politics for the past several years while attending house meetings. He says both his leadership skills, tied along with his many relationships with House Representatives make him the right person for the position and that it's time Idahoans ask themselves what direction they want local government to go.
"Do they want Idaho to go down the same path that America's going down under our current leadership, or do they want a more conservative leadership," said Santiago.
Santiago said he's ready to make a difference and supports personal liberty, freedoms and property rights.

Burn slash piles
U.S. Forest Service firefighters plan to burn slash piles though Friday if conditions allow it.
Burning is planned for the Estes Valley and Big Thompson areas, located south and east of Estes Park. Conditions are evaluated each day of the burn to determine if ignition will take place. Wind, fuel moisture, staffing and snow cover all play a factor in where and whether ignition occurs.

Teaching and Learning
Teaching & Learning
The Postgraduate Diploma is made up of four modules. Each module is studied in eight-week sessions. You can only take one module at a time, but each module is typically available in at least two of the year's study sessions. This gives you the flexibility to plan how you study during the year, enabling you to fit your study in with your professional, family and personal commitments.
You will be individually assigned an online academic tutor for the duration of each module with whom you can discuss academic queries at regular intervals during the study session. You will also have a named administrator providing you with help and advice throughout your studies.
Before the start of each module you have enrolled in, you will be sent a package containing all of the study materials that you need to complete the module – the core text, textbooks, a collection of key articles, and any module related software.
To make your experience as a distance learning student more complete and rewarding, we provide access to the Virtual Learning Environment, which is a web-accessed learning environment. Via the VLE, you can communicate with your assigned academic tutor, administrators and other students on the module using discussion forums. The VLE also provides access to the module Study Guide and assignments, as well as a selection of electronic journals available on the University of London Online Library.
For each module, you will sit a three-hour examination, held on a specified date in September/October, and complete two assignments during the module study session. Assignments are submitted and feedback given online. Examinations and assignments are weighted 70:30.
For more information about studying with us, please visit the Frequently asked questions section of the Centre for Financial and Management Studies section website.
Fees and funding
Graduates in Policy Studies are likely to work in government, at national and sub-national levels, both as politicians and officials, in international organisations offering help to governments, in consultancies in public sector analysis and reform, and in NGOs operating in development and service delivery fields.

There's a lot to talk about with regard to last night's debate, but I want to drill down on this unforced error made by Team Romney. It's... subtle, but it's going to hurt Mitt in unexpected ways. Via the CNN debate transcript (via Ben Domenech's Transom) comes this fascinating discussion of alternative methods of funding humanitarian aid:
COOPER: Governor Romney, should foreign aid be eliminated?
ROMNEY: Foreign aid has several elements. One of those elements is defense, is to make sure that we are able to have the defense resources we want in certain places of the world. That probably ought to fall under the Department of Defense budget rather than a foreign aid budget.
Part of it is humanitarian aid around the world. I happen to think it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to borrow money from the Chinese to go give to another country for humanitarian aid. We ought to get the Chinese to take care of the people that are -- and think of that borrowed money on today (ph).
Quick response: Mitt Romney wants the ChiComs to do no-strings-attached humanitarian aid? Anybody who could convince them to do that wouldn't currently be at 25% in primary polling.
Seriously. The People's Republic of China. Humanitarian aid. Freedom House ranks them as Not Free: Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch were similarly blistering, in case anybody was inclined to treat the first link as partisan prejudice. The actions of the PRC regime encourage this kind of cross-spectrum opposition: for just one example, look at religious persecution issues. Between the PRC's hostility towards unacceptably independent Christian churches, its heavy-handed interference with Tibetan and other Buddhist sects, and the ongoing high-tension crackdown against Xinjiang's restive Muslim population, there's something for everybody to particularly dislike. Couple that with well-founded worries (from the Congressional Research Service) that current Chinese foreign aid is subordinated to its geopolitical ambitions:
Overall, China's foreign assistance during the past several years has been driven primarily by Beijing's desire to secure and transport natural resources and secondarily for diplomatic reasons. According to the NYU Wagner School study, during the 2002-2007 period, Africa received the greatest amount of loans and development assistance, followed by Latin America and Southeast Asia. The study suggests that China's foreign aid activities in Africa and Latin America serve the PRC's immediate economic interests, while those in Southeast Asia relate to longer term diplomatic or strategic objectives. In Africa and Southeast Asia, Chinese infrastructure and public works projects constitute the most common form of aid, while in Latin America, where some countries are more developed, PRC-sponsored natural resource development activities are more prominent.
...and you have to ask: what the heck was Mitt Romney thinking? He just told the People's Republic of China that, if Romney's elected, the PRC's current program of building hegemony on the cheap will be encouraged by the US government! Yes, I know that Romney's people will say that's not what Romney meant*, but that's what the PRC's leadership is going to hear. A fundamental lack of common cultural referents works both ways, you know.
Moe Lane (crosspost)
*I originally wrote that as "Yes, I know that's not what Romney meant," until I realized: no, I don't know that that was not what Romney meant. I never know what Romney really means. That's the problem.

Edler Nonsensically Shanabanned for Two Games

In a baffling decision, the NHL Department of Player Safety has decided to suspend Alex Edler two games for charging Mike Smith. The incident occured during Thursday night's game between the Canucks and the Coyotes, and a major penalty was assessed on the play.

Dwight King and @Strombone1: Separated at Birth?
Thomas Drance
March 22 2013 05:32PM
John Hoven (aka The Mayor) is an accredited L.A Kings blogger who runs the incomparable Mayor's Manor, an L.A. Kings blog that specializes in miscellany. Who got the choice quote from Drew Doughty comparing the whining Coyotes to the whining Canucks? That was Hoven. Drew Doughty talking about how he hates the Canucks other times? Also John Hoven. Dustin Brown praising Dan Hamhuis while his teammates mostly take shots at Kevin Bieksa? If you guessed John Hoven, you'd be right.
All of this is a long-winded way of telling you that John Hoven's blog is a gold mine. He was at it again today, asking Roberto Luongo about his resemblance with Kings winger Dwight King (pictured above). This was the first I'd ever heard about Luongo's NHL doppleganger, but looking at some photos the resemblance is actually uncanny.

"Analytics Play a Role in Helping you make Decisions" - Mike Gillis
Thomas Drance
March 22 2013 02:04PM
Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis appeared on the Team 1040's "Scotty and Company" morning show on Friday and was asked a whole host of questions. In the fiften minute interview the Canucks President and General Manager addressed David Booth's injury status, Ryan Kesler's injury status, the likelihood of a NIcklas Jensen call up, trade deadline priorities, and most interesting from our perspective: analytics.
Scott Rintoul, pivoting off of James Mirtle's fascinating piece on the Pittsburgh Penguins, Moneyball and the James Neal acquisition which ran in the Globe and Mail on Thursday, asked Mike Gillis this question: "When it does come to player movement, how much do analytics factor into your personnel decisions?" Gillis' response: (transcription my own)
"They're a factor but they're not the ultimate factor.
I think James Neal has also benefitted from playing with extremely good players in Pittsburgh. When you're playing with Evgeni Malkin your opportunities to score and your opportunities to produce are going to be a little bit stronger than if you're playing with some other guys.
So I think analytics play a role in helping you make decisions, but there's lots of factors that go into making a decision like that."

Charlotte Rogan's debut novel The Lifeboat restores your faith in 21st century writing. In this historical novel, two narratives intertwine: the more dramatic one being the story of the shipwreck of the Princess Alexandria during the first months of WWI on a voyage from England to America. The second story is about Grace, a young woman whose family has suffered a financial collapse. Suddenly, needing to make her own way in the world, Grace's choices are narrow: to become a governess or find a rich husband, Grace being resourceful and not wanted to be tied down by a job with long hours and little pay chooses the latter.
She finds her husband material in an unlikely place: the engagement listings of a London society paper. Henry Winter, an American financier, is handsome and rich and works for a company rapidly increasing in power and influence. Amazingly, this part of the plan works. They marry and set off for America. On the ship, as a sign of her newly altered status, Grace and Henry are invited to sit at the captain's table.
But there Grace's good luck ends. For one thing, Henry has not cabled his parents about the marriage, and seems reluctant to do so. His parents send him telegrams about his former fiancee but does she even know that she's become history to him? In the middle of the night the Empress mysteriously explodes and the new bride finds herself the last person squeezed onto a lifeboat, and without her husband.

In The Last Runaway (as in all Tracy Chevalier's historical novels), you feel as though you are living exactly in the time period that she is describing. Her combination of research, realistic dialogue, characters true to the day, plus her skill at capturing the myriad details of daily life make her writing very believable. In this novel, Chevalier transports us back to 1850s Ohio to a small town at the edge of the wilderness. But first, we experience a grueling ocean voyage from Quaker Honor Bright's perspective.
Honor Bright accompanies her sister to America where Grace plans to wed someone from their English hometown. After Honor suffers terrible seasickness on the journey, she refuses to take the lake route to Ohio, so they proceed by train and carriage. However Grace comes down with yellow fever and dies on the trip. Not knowing what else to do, Honor continues the journey to Faithwell, Ohio.
She catches yellow fever also and stops in Wellington at a local milliner's shop. Belle Mills takes her in. Unfortunately, she's already met Belle's brother on the journey. Donovan is a slave hunter and he has stolen the key to Honor's trunk after ransacking the carriage while searching for runaway slaves.
This is exactly what I am looking for in a travel book. Frazier does an excellent job in combining extensive historical research and personal travel details and interweaves them into an immensely enjoyable book. Ignore the fact that Travels in Siberia is about 600 pages long, and travels to someplace you may never get to or wish to visit.
Frazier spent several years and several trips to various parts of Siberia, and this remains the main focus of this book. The engaging factor is that none of these are just trips, and he allows for the Russian Far East to become part of his life, his passion. Supplementing the daily details of the trips, including what they ate, where they camped, what they wore, and how they suffered the army of mosquitoes, is a rich history of Siberia and the overall international implications that stem from that vast region.

Earlier this week, the 2013 One Book, One Bloomington Community Read title was announced on WFHB's Interchange radio program. All of the nominated books for 2013 have been banned or challenged.This year, the community voted for The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
In this dark vision of a future United States, the handmaid Offred is defined solely by her biological function as a child-bearer. Forbidden even to read, she tries to survive in oppressive and dangerous circumstances. The novel explores themes of power, gender conflict, the individual in society, language and storytelling. Have you read this dystopian classic?Please visit www.mcpl.info/onebook for upcoming information on public book discussions and a related film festival. Or listen to the announcement and interview with MCPL director Sara Laughlin and MCCSC North High School librarian Kathy Loser on the Interchange radio broadcast on the WFHB website.
TED talks, "pay yourself in chard", shoeless Microsoft techies, Molly Moon ice cream--you don't have to be a current or ex-Seattleite to enjoy this funny book by Hollywood scriptwriter (Arrested Development) Maria Semple. If you've ever lived in a politically correct zone (Bloomington anyone?), you'll recognize many of the interpersonal dynamics pictured here. Where'd You Go, Bernadette tells the story of a family - Bernadette, Bee, and Elgin Branch-- and their relationship to their child's school community.
Bernadette, a former architect and MacArthur genius award winner, has given up working on any creative projects to devote herself to her family. Her daughter Bee was born with a serious heart condition and for years Bernadette felt that she could not commit herself to any new designs due to her daughter's condition. But Bernadette, a woman full of prodigious talent and energy, has been driving herself and everyone around her nuts while her husband worked his way up the Microsoft hierarchy.
Minor Seattle annoyances set her off, say five-way traffic interchanges where one waits an eon for a turn at the green light. Too friendly Canadians provoke Bernadette's ire also. And turning her almost ballistic are messages from her daughter's private school that ask for volunteers. She ignores these but the fellow parents, whom she calls "gnats", mock her for her lack of community involvement--a major Seattle lapse. And then there are all those obnoxious Microsoft slogans that she must turn away from whenever she and Bee visit her husband's office.

The defining moment of Kati Marton's life occurred when she was six and the police came for her mother during the Hungarian Revolution. Her mother was imprisoned for a year, joining her father in prison. The authorities forced Marton and her sister to move in with strangers. Before that their lives had been blessed especially by Communist Hungary standards. Kati's parents had hired a French nanny and she learned to speak French as a child.
If you love Paris or even if you are just curious about life in the famous city, this memoir makes a good read. I wasn't familiar with Kati Marton's books or journalism - she worked as a foreign correspondent for ABC news and NPR - so this memoir made a nice introduction to her work.
Marton was one of the first women to be hired as an international corresponded for ABC. She met Peter Jennings in London before beginning her post to German in the 1970s. They fell in love and began an international romance that was mostly centered in Paris. But before that Kati had studied abroad in the city of light during the momentous year of 1968. She came from the States where her parents had emigrated after leaving prison.
