Fair warning: I regard the Porsche 911 as the world's best sports car. And since the GTS featured here is probably the last and arguably the best of the production 997-series Carrera line (there's an all-new 911 on the way for next year), I'm pretty much going to spend the next 500 words saying how fantastic it is. If that's going to embarrass you, turn the page now.
Note I said "best", rather than "ultimate". The GTS is a subtle evolution of the standard Carrera 2S (C2S), so it's not as focused as the 911 RS models and certainly not as rapid as the 911 Turbo.
But the GTS is still the best 911 for real people who really love driving.
The rear-drive models have always been the most engaging of the breed (the Turbo is all-wheel drive) and the GTS gives you some of the extra thrill of an RS with the ride, refinement and sheer practicality of a regular C2.
The important bits are as follows. The GTS carries the 3.8-litre flat-six engine with a 17kW power-upgrade kit (now 300kW) that would cost an inexplicable $29,200 if you added it to a standard model. But don't worry about that, because the GTS is only $12,000 more than a C2S. Torque remains the same but reaches its peak 200rpm earlier. Fuel economy is unchanged.
The GTS has the wide body styling of the C4S and therefore a 32mm wider rear track, to the benefit of both handling and styling (if not parking). Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a sports exhaust kit are also standard.
Less useful, more status-conscious bits include black 19-inch RS Spyder wheels, a reshaped front apron, different steering wheel and instruments and special GTS-themed black detailing and decals.
The result is simply stunning. Driving a 911 allows you to reconnect with the important things about driving: steering that talks to you, a chassis that reacts to every input and a powerplant overflowing with aural character. Personally, I'd eschew the $8000 PDK double-clutch gearbox fitted to our car in favour of a proper manual, but the two-pedal transmission has advantages in speed, economy and convenience.
A 911 is never dull. It's one of those rare performance cars that is totally engaging at anything from 50km/h to 250km/h.
Extend the car/yourself and you are aware that there's a pendulous weight bobbing about at the back: that's part of the thrill - one of those conscious imperfections that makes the 911 so perfect as a driver's car.
There's a reason why no other performance car has its engine hanging out the back behind the rear axle: such a layout really shouldn't work as well as this.
In that context, after 48 years, the 911 remains a triumph of engineering over design. And the really remarkable thing is that each evolution is even more of a triumph. And so I give you the $257,000 Porsche 911 GTS: buy one now. Can't possibly think what would be stopping you.
Evolution of a winner
The basic layout has remained the same, but the Porsche 911 has changed a lot in 48 years. The original 911 boasted a flat-six air-cooled engine of just 2-litre capacity, with 96kW. It could accelerate to 100km/h in 9sec.
The latest 911 GTS still has a flat-six, but with nearly twice the capacity and more than three times the power.
It achieves the benchmark 0-100km/h sprint in half the time of the 1963 model: just 4.4sec in PDK double-clutch specification.
The bottom line:
Porsche has massaged the standard Carrera 2S in exactly the right places, enhancing the driving experience without going over the top. The 997-series is bowing out at the top of its game; just hope 2012's all-new model will be as engaging.

It is recommended that any student who believes they are a victim of sexual assault go to the Newberry County Memorial Hospital Emergency Room (located down Evans Street from the College) immediately following the incident or as soon thereafter as possible. If you cannot get there on your own, please contact 911 for an ambulance. There you will receive confidential treatment and information regarding your rights. You may also preserve evidence for the future if you decide to press legal charges.
If the student does not desire to go to the emergency room it is recommended that he/she contact Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands. The contact person is Sherry Lewis @ 803-790-8208. Sexual Trauma Services provides confidential counseling and legal advice free of charge.
It is also recommended that the student contact the licensed mental health counselor on campus following either of the above or in cases where neither of the above recommendations are followed. The contact person for on counseling on campus is Martha Dorrell LISW-CP who can be reached at 803-321-5373 or e-mail email@example.com. Through the campus counseling services you will receive confidential treatment, explore options available, and referrals to additional support and legal services.
If the student reports a sexual assault to other College faculty or staff, including student staff members, that person is obligated by federal legislation, including the Campus Security Act, to report the incident to the Department of Security (Director of Security, 803-321-5602, firstname.lastname@example.com). We strongly recommend reporting a sexual assault to a College representative. Reporting is the only way the College can take action against the alleged perpetrator. A College representative is any faculty or staff member, including student staff, RA, professor, coach or work study supervisor. These individuals can refer you to the counseling, personal and legal resources available to you, and are obligated by federal legislation under the Campus Security Act to report an assault to Campus Security (Director of Security, 803-321-5602,email@example.com). You may also choose to contact the City of Newberry Police Department directly.
Once a sexual assault is reported, Campus Security is obligated to contact the victim for a statement and possibly to conduct an investigation. Because sexual assault is a crime under South Carolina law, the City of Newberry Police Department will conduct the investigation. However, the victim has the right to make a handwritten statement to Campus Security stating that they choose not to have the police involved. In cases of perceived danger, the College is obligated to make a public statement to alert the campus community. Any public statement to the campus to alert and protect the community from imminent danger will be coordinated by the Office of Student Affairs.
Anyone who has been sexually assaulted has the right to pursue legal and disciplinary remedies and to secure counseling services. This includes the right to pursue College judicial action, criminal prosecution and/or civil litigation. Please see the Code of Student Conduct section in this handbook for details on the campus judicial process. Electing to pursue judicial action through the College does not commit the victim to pursue criminal or civil action, or vice versa. A victim also has the right to take no action.
Should a victim wish to pursue criminal prosecution and/or civil litigation, the Department of Security (Director of Security, 803-321-5602, firstname.lastname@example.com) can provide assistance and information.

Your Life And Privacy
About two months ago, my daughter turned 15. She reached the big day without something most 15- year olds have: a Facebook account.
I spend a good deal of my time thinking about privacy and issues relating to the Internet. I've written Internet safety trainings and materials advising parents how to protect themselves and their children online. I've educated on the perils of Internet scams from spam to spyware. I've urged parents to be vigilant when it comes to their kids and the Internet.
Along the way, I made sure to educate my own daughter about online perils. When the subject of Facebook came up, I made it clear that being a member of a social networking site comes with plenty of issues.
My daughter, in turn, preached the gospel to her cousins about what a time-waster Facebook was. She told a horror story about the schoolmate whose account had been infiltrated by a former friend, who had sent out bullying messages from the account.
She recounted stories of runaways, kids who had been friended by online predators and lured to their demise. When she discovered that a relative had posted photos of herself and her brother on the relative's Facebook page, she demanded that the photos be removed.
My daughter never asked, even once, about having a Facebook. Apparently I had done a good job – perhaps too good.
In sixth grade my daughter started a new school. The transition was difficult; she did not know anybody there when she started. She sorely missed her lower school friends, like the little girl who wore bunny ears every day from kindergarten through third grade, and the boy with whom she regularly arm-wrestled at lunch.
The first two years, she barely made new friends. It was a painful time.
I knew that many of her old friends, and most kids at her new school had Facebook accounts and socialized through the site, although most of them were years shy of Facebook's age requirement. (Facebook has an age floor to avoid being subject to a federal law that imposes requirements on websites geared to children under 13). My daughter didn't ask for a Facebook page then, and I didn't suggest it.
In retrospect, maybe I should have. At 11 years of age, my daughter was a good student and mature for her age. I could have helped her protect herself with restricted privacy settings; made sure she understood that anything she posted, including photos, could be copied and sent out to anybody on the Internet; cautioned her to have a strong password that she did not share with anybody (except maybe me).
While technically I might have aided and abetted the violation of federal law, enabling my daughter to have access to Facebook could have eased the social isolation she was experiencing. Instead, I probably encouraged it, and contributed to a difficult transition.
Today, my daughter is popular, happy and well-adjusted. True, she accomplished this without Facebook. But a couple of weeks back, she asked if she could have a Facebook account. I said yes.
Frankly, I was almost relieved that she had asked. And while I intend to be vigilant, I've taught her well. More importantly, I trust her.

A jack-knifed caravan has caused traffic delays at a busy Auckland motorway junction today.
The caravan overturned on the southern motorway at the intersection with the Greenlane roundabout around 11am, northern police shift commander Peter Raynes said.
Concerns about a gas canister on board the caravan prompted a call to the Fire Service as a precaution, he said.
It caused some minor delays to traffic in the area, Mr Raynes said, but the road has now re-opened.
An investigation into how and why the caravan overturned is underway.

Date of Stay: August, 2010
Absolutely loved this park! It was clean, friendly and had so many amenities. Really want to go back next year!
Date of Stay: August, 2010
This park is not for actual campers. It is a mobile home park for permanent residents. There were few actual RVers and campers. There was very little, if anything, going on in the park. No activities. The bathrooms and showers were filthy, unkempt and unsafe. There was actually an electrical cord hanging in the women's shower without a GFI plug. Very unsafe. The internet access was extremely limited. Only 4 consecutive hours of Wi Fi and you needed to be at one location in order to receive it. It was not a good location to the area. We will Never return here.

Published: 2014-06-10, by Peter Warrior.
Earth & Legend is a massive role playing game where you create a character and roam a huge open world fulfilling quests and defeating monsters.
It looks epic, isn't it? Well, truth is that it isn't. Even though we should take into account the technical chasm between consolidated PC franchises and mobile games, and you might be tempted to give it a go after watching the promotional video and the screenshots (busty heroine included), the truth is that Earth and Legend is a vast, empty world, where every NPC has only a line to say and all quests fall into the category of fetching or grinding.
We were told there was a storyline, and it looks like there's an ongoing war or something, but can't tell at all. And combat, what could save it all, is closer to button smashing than anything else.
In the end, we'd like encourage DVide because it's a bold and ambitious developer, but Earth & Legend can only be rated as a huge project that could be a bestseller if we still were in the 90s.

Anything past CAN/USA/RUS/SWE/FIN/CZE/SVK/SUI realistically have no medaling shot in an Olympic tournament in the next ten years; Belarus was the only nation that has come close in 2002 but they got massacred by Canada. You can fluke your way pretty close but eventually you will come across one of the top four nations, where outside of the top-8 in a best on best tournament the probabilities are too low for the likes of Latvia, Germany, Norway, Belarus, Denmark, Austria etc to go past them into the podium. Then again, as they say in stocks past performance does not necessarily indicate the future.
What will the 2014 SUI team look like? Presumably on the NHL side they'll use their five defenders (Streit/Sbisa/Weber/Josi/Diaz) with Hiller in net and Nino / Bartschi on forward positions. Does any other prospect have a shot at joining?

Panetta's weekend commute costs as much as GSA Vegas junket
- By Josh Rogin
Josh Rogin covers national security and foreign policy and writes the daily Web column The Cable. His column appears bi-weekly in the print edition of The Washington Post. He can be reached for comments or tips at email@example.com.
Previously, Josh covered defense and foreign policy as a staff writer for Congressional Quarterly, writing extensively on Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, U.S.-Asia relations, defense budgeting and appropriations, and the defense lobbying and contracting industries. Prior to that, he covered military modernization, cyber warfare, space, and missile defense for Federal Computer Week Magazine. He has also served as Pentagon Staff Reporter for the Asahi Shimbun, Japan's leading daily newspaper, in its Washington, D.C., bureau, where he reported on U.S.-Japan relations, Chinese military modernization, the North Korean nuclear crisis, and more.
A graduate of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, Josh lived in Yokohama, Japan, and studied at Tokyo's Sophia University. He speaks conversational Japanese and has reported from the region. He has also worked at the House International Relations Committee, the Embassy of Japan, and the Brookings Institution.
Josh's reporting has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, C-Span, CBS, ABC, NPR, WTOP, and several other outlets. He was a 2008-2009 National Press Foundation's Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellow, 2009 military reporting fellow with the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism and the 2011 recipient of the InterAction Award for Excellence in International Reporting. He hails from Philadelphia and lives in Washington, D.C.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta flies home to California almost every weekend, racking up costs for the American taxpayer roughly equal to the cost of the General Services Administration's junket to Las Vegas that has Congress fuming mad this week.
The AP reported earlier this month that Panetta, who has been commuting to his northern California home each weekend for decades, has made at least 27 round trips on government airplanes since becoming defense secretary and only reimburses the taxpayer $630 of the $32,000 cost of each trip. He is only legally required to reimburse the government for the commercial coach class fare.
Obama administration officials say Panetta likes to recharge his battery and often makes side trips to military bases while he's out West. Regardless, the optics of the expense don't look good at a time when the United States is in the middle of a fiscal crisis and Congress is searching hard to eliminate waste in government spending.
At Monday's Pentagon press briefing, Panetta was asked about the travel expenses, which now total about $860,000.
"For 40 years that I've been in this town, I've gone home because my wife and family are there and because, frankly, I think it's healthy to get out of Washington periodically just to get your mind straight and your perspective straight," he said, noting that as defense secretary, he is not permitted to fly commercial and must be always reachable.
"I regret that it does add costs that the taxpayer has to pick up. The taxpayer would have to pick up those costs with any secretary of state or secretary of defense," he said. "But having said that, I am trying to look at what are the alternatives here that I can look at that might possibly be able to save funds and at the same time be able to fulfill my responsibilities not only to my job, but to my family.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey chimed in to insist that Panetta is working even while crisscrossing the country every weekend. "By the way, he doesn't get much rest in California, based on the number of times I know that I'm in contact with him," Dempsey said.
Congress has been silent on the Panetta trips, although today marks the second day of hearings on the GSA employee conference in Las Vegas in 2010, which cost the U.S. taxpayer $823,000, according to an inspector general's investigation. At the first day of hearings, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said that the GSA officials were acting as they believed they were "some kind of agency royalty who used taxpayer funds to bankroll their lavish lifestyle."
"They violated one of the most basic tenets of government service. It's not your money," Cummings said.

Blue Diamond Journey: The Healing of a Reluctant Seer
€ 19,49

November 2010
BeschreibungEsther Supernault put her life on the line for her beliefs. In Blue Diamond Journey, she shares her secret gift of insight and guidance from the world of spirit. Born of a Celtic and Native American heritage of seers, she narrates how she received incredibly detailed, sometimes humorous messages from her dreams, visions, and meditations-messages that she then validated with solid medical research. Day by day she was guided to specific foods, helpers, therapists, doctors, and books to heal her breast cancer-without chemo or radiation. Every person is part of an interconnected web as vast as this universe, rather than a collection of parts. Our innate, inner soul contains incredible healing wisdoms. Real healing honours this web of interaction-far beyond scientific logic or fact. What causes an illness will also help heal it. All the answers we need to heal are within us, and Esther demonstrates how to listen to those answers. Her journey slowly uncovers a rare diamond in the rough-the dawning evolution of a seer, visionary, and wisdom keeper. With her gifted, gentle healing messages, Esther weaves a marvelous, magical, true tale in Blue Diamond Journey.

Live Commentary
That's all we have time for from the Hawthorns, as Man City enjoyed a rare Premier League away victory, after beating hosts West Brom 3-2. I've been Simon Harrison, and I hope to see you all again next time.
West Brom failed to turn up for the initial half an hour, before Steve Clark's men spluttering into life in the second period of 45 minutes. Not a great performance from the hosts, but two goals against a top side is surely a positive point.
That gifts Pellegrini's men their second away win of the second, and leaves West Brom in limbo in mid-table. The away side played excellently in the first half, but almost allowed their opponents into the game in the dying embers of the game.
FULL TIME! What was a very comfortable away win for Man City, almost turned a little hairy at the end! A goal for Aguero and two for Toure gave the visitors a commanding lead, before a Pantilimon own goal and a Anichebe stoppage time finish made the game appear tighter than it truly was.
90' + 4'Assist Matěj Vydra
90' + 4'Goal Victor Anichebe
GOOOOOAL! ANICHIBE FIRES HOME TO MAKE IT 3-2! The Nigerian backs into his man, using his strength to beat Demichelis, before rolling the Argentine and thumping into the bottom corner beyond the helpless Pantilimon!
90' + 3'Fernandinho thumps clear from the edge of his penalty area, after good build up play from Berahino and Ridgewell is eventually blocked. The Brazilian really has been solid today, popping up everywhere to make West Brom's life very difficult.
90' + 2'Two minutes left of this fixture, and City will be looking to close the game out. Pellegrini's men haven't enjoyed themselves on the road this season, but a 3-1 win certainly won't do the visitors' title hopes any damage. This could be a turning point in their season.
90'Four minutes of stoppage time have been awarded.
89'BERAHINO! He tests Pantilimon, but that strike looked as though it was always going wide! The Romanian is perhaps keen to make amends for his bizarre own goal, and pulls off a smart stop to his left hand side.
88'SubstitutionYaya Touré Jack Rodwell
88'Olsson picks up a yellow card for a late challenge, and he'll miss the hosts' next game against Norwich at the weekend! A rather stupid foul to commit, and the Swede will undoubtedly regret such an action once he is reminded of his disciplinary tally later on.
87'Yellow Card Jonas Olsson
86'MILNER! The Englishman trades possession neatly with Fernandinho, as the Brazilian feeds his teammate a ball which gets him to the byline, but his eventual cross is straight into the palms of the waiting Myhill.
85'Own Goal Costel Pantilimon
GOOOOAL! It's an own goal by Pantilimon! Moments after his yellow card, he's conceded an own goal! Kolarov tries to make a clearance out of the six yard box, looking to slide the ball wide of the post, but the ball strikes one of the Romanian's long limbs and rolls into the back of the net!
84'Yellow Card Costel Pantilimon
84'Pantilimon receives a yellow card, seemingly for time-wasting, as the Romanian deliberates over a goal-kick. An odd card to pick up, given that City have a comfortable lead, aren't being troubled and there probably isn't enough time left for the Baggies to come back.
82'BERAHINO! The forward looks to place the ball in the top corner, but the strike deflects off Kompany and loops onto the roof of the net. Moments earlier, Yaya Toure kicked out at Yacob in frustration, much to the annoyance of the tenacious Argentine.
81'None of Clark's substitutes have had any real effect on this game, with Anichebe being as consistently absent as Long was in the first half. Gera has offered nothing on the right hand side, and again City's second-choice left-back of Kolarov, that is somewhat worrying.
79'MILNER! The substitute fires a well-struck effort straight at Myhill, who claims with ease. City are happy to sit back in their shape and break at their leisure, and the away fans are now enjoying their comfortable away visit to the Midlands.
78'The last ten minutes of the game are rapidly approaching, and there's no foreseeable way for the hosts to get back into this game. Any pressure has been rather fleeting and inpenetrative, with Berahino providing the only optimism that the Baggies can improve offensively in the future.
77'SubstitutionSamir Nasri Javi García
76'SubstitutionMorgan Amalfitano Matěj Vydra
76'OFFSIDE! Dzeko looks to race in behind a very high Baggies' defensive line, but the linesman raises his flag immediately. The Bosnian will presumably want to turn this game into a rout, and get himself on the scoresheet, to prove that he merits a starting place ahead of Negredo.
74'Penalty Goal Yaya Touré
GOOOOOAL! YAYA TOURE CONVERTS THE PENALTY! The Ivorian smashes the ball rather centrally, but it's too powerful for Myhill to deal with! West Brom have improved in the second half, and that goal is a definite sucker punch! City lead 3-0!
73'PENALTY! Kolarov is brought down by Yacob, and the referee makes no mistake, pointing to the stop immediately! The Serbian danced around the outstretched foot of Yacob, and was caught by the midfielder!
71'West Brom are slowly starting to press more players forward with every attack and set piece, leaving themselves very open to the counter attack. Given the amount of time left and the result, Clark is clearly beginning to try his luck at getting back into the game as a contest before it's too late. One goal now could make all the difference.
69'SubstitutionSergio Agüero James Milner
69'Slightly more than 20 minutes left on the clock, and Pantilimon is yet to be troubled in this game. Aside from watching several skidding shots fizz wide of the target, the Romanian has had very little to do, and looks well on his way to an easy clean sheet.
67'City have gone quiet in terms of creating chances, but remain very comfortable. With Fernandinho and Toure screening the defence, and West Brom not managing to break at pace, Pellegrini's gameplan is continuing to work well. All that needs to be done is the continual injection of fresh legs.
65'SubstitutionShane Long Victor Anichebe
65'Gera receives a very warm reception on his return from injury, and rightly so given his contribution to West Brom as both a top flight and second-tier football club. He'll need to produce something special to drag the Baggies back into this game, however.
64'SubstitutionJames Morrison Zoltán Gera
64'Brilliant tracking back from Fernandinho yet again. The Brazilian has been everything this evening, picking up the pieces and slowing the Baggies' breaks whenever they look to hit City on the counter. Certainly an unsung hero in a very talented squad.
62'Clark looks to change the game with a double substitution, throwing on Anichebe and Gera. The Nigerian striker is capable of acting as an attacking catalyst, as his physical ability should keep him ever-presently in the game, battling with the likes of Kompany and Demichelis. Something extra for Kompany and Co. to worry about.
60'Half an hour left on the clock, and this game still looks a bit beyond West Brom. The home side have given a better account of themselves in the second half, but it's a little bit too late, given City's sizeable goal cushion. Long continues to be anonymous, it would be unsurprising to see Sessegnon or Anichebe introduced soon.
58'Fernandinho tracks back excellently to deny Amalfitano! The Frenchman is picked out behind City's defensive line, but the Brazilian does well to pick up the pieces from Kompany's block to clear the danger! Berahino then fires harmlessly wide from range.
57'Good defending from McAuley! A clever piece of skill from Navas creates a bit of space for Zabaleta to deliver a back post cross, but McAuley is there once again as an aerial presence.
55'AGUERO! Absolutely delightful skill and control from the former Atletico striker, as he dances around two West Brom defenders with consummate ease. Rolling the ball past the first, before weaves his way past the second. Beautiful footwork.
53'Steve Clark won't be too disappointed with how his side have started the second half, but there's certainly a sense that City are allowing West Brom greater space and freedom, to invite them forward. Such an action would draw the home team out, making them susceptible to City's pacey breaks.
51'Great through ball from Brunt! The Northern Ireland international slots his pass inbetween Demichelis and Kolarov, allowing for Long to chase, but his teammate is outsmarted by the former Bayern Munich centre-half. Another brief opening for the hosts.
50'LONG! The lone West Brom striker goes down in the penalty area, after squeezing between two visiting defenders! The referee didn't look interested whatsoever, but the crowd are incensed! I think that official was right, Long did look to dive there!
49'AGUERO! Myhill does well to pluck the Argentine's cross from the air, as Dzeko shaped to attack it at the back post yet again. The Baggies' goalkeeper has done well to disrupt the harmony between the City striking partnership when he can.
47'Audacious from Nasri! The Frenchman weaves past Reid and Morrison, before shimmying back inside the Republic of Ireland right-back and nutmegging the Scot once again! The former Arsenal man is full of confidence here tonight.
46'We are back underway for the second half! City dominated the opening 45 minutes, grabbing two well-deserved goals for their efforts, but the Baggies showed in the final ten minutes that they can threaten Pantilimon's goal. Long has been quiet, but Clark has options on the bench.
Pellegrini will certainly be buoyed by what he has seen in the opening 45 minutes, as the combination of Dzeko and Aguero upfront has worked excellently. Chances have flowed for the away side, and the Chilean coach will definitely be hoping that a lack of killer instinct won't come back to haunt his team in the second half.
HALF TIME! An imperious display from City in the first half, with West Brom only being allowed into the game in the final ten minutes of the half. The visitors lead 2-0, courtesy of good finishes from Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure.
45' + 1'OFFSIDE! Amalfitano wriggles through the dense City defensive line, but the linesman's flag is raised, and rightly so! Three blue and white striped shirts were in offside positions, but the Frenchman still has to complain a little.
44'West Brom have started to contest the game in the last five minutes or so, but they're sorely lacking an offensive presence in and around the box. Long is being physically dominated and has touched the ball extremely rarely. Perhaps the more durable Anichebe would be an interesting alternative for the second half?
42'LONG! The Republic of Ireland international gets the ball caught under his feet and the chance escapes him! Great work from Brunt to wriggle free of Zabaleta's attentions on the left flank, before a delicate cut-back to his teammate, but Long is wasteful.
41'Five minutes until the break, and West Brom need a goal if they are to claw themselves back into this game. A couple of corners and chances in quick succession for the likes of Brunt and Berahino are lifting the home crowd's spirits somewhat.
39'Excellent defending from Kompany! Berahino opens the ball up onto his left foot on the edge of the 18-yard-box, but as the young forward pulls the trigger, a sizeable Belgian centre-half throws himself into the block, and it cannons away from danger. He's been sidelined, but you can never lose your defensive instinct!
38'BRUNT! A very, very ambitious effort from the West Brom midfielder, who arrows a long-range strike into the City fans behind Pantilimon's goal. He's probably still full of confidence from his goal against Newcastle at the weekend, but to try his luck from there was rather wasteful.
36'FERNANDINHO! The Brazilian wastes yet another opportunity for City! Aguero releases Navas on the right flank, before the Spain international cuts a chipped ball back to the former Shakhtar man, who was arriving on the edge of the box. He tries to strike a volley towards Myhill's goal, but instead fizzes the ball over the crossbar.
35'DZEKO! Non-existent marking from the home side allows for Dzeko to rise unchallenged and nod a header over the bar from eight yards out! The City striker should really be doing better than that, he had a run at the delivery, and still couldn't get over it.
34'AGUERO! The Argentine manages to get away from Olsson with ease, before trying to finish across Myhill from a very tight angle! The Welsh goalkeeper gets a slight touch to give away a corner, but Dzeko wanted the ball delivered to the back post!
33'BERAHINO! The youngster looks to turn on the edge of the 18-yard-box, but a crafty nudge from Fernandinho puts the Baggies' forward off-balance, causing him to fire wide of the target.
32'BRUNT! The Northern Ireland midfielder strikes from the edge of the box, but Demichelis makes the block! The rebound falls to Amalfitano, who loops a cross into the penalty box, but Long can't get on the end of it! A few niggling fouls are creeping into this game too.
30'DZEKO! The Bosnian is inches away from making it three for City! A great cross to the back post from Kolarov looks to find his teammate sliding in to finish off the move, but the delivery narrowly escapes its intended target! City are in overdrive here!
29'Well beaten away by Pantilimon! A sliced clearance by Fernandinho loops the ball high into the air, causing his goalkeepers all kinds of problems! The Romanian punches clear under plenty of pressure from Long.
28'City look majestically comfortable, with their full-backs having free reign and Yaya Toure and Fernandinho seeming to have endless amounts of time on the ball in the centre of the field. The visitors appear to be able to break forward and craft themselves a chance whenever they wish.
26'AGUERO! The Argentine blasts the ball well off target yet again, but there's certainly a possibility that the former Atletico man will get on the scoresheet again tonight. He's popping up in worrying areas constantly as City push forward relentlessly.
25'DZEKO! McAuley does well to rise above his marker and head the ball from danger! Moments earlier, Amalfitano goes down in the penalty area, looking for a spot-kick, but the referee waves away his claims. It did look to be a hopeful dive from the loanee.
24'Assist Aleksandar Kolarov
24'Goal Yaya Touré
GOOOOAL! YAYA TOURE CONVERTS TO MAKE IT 2-0! The away side carve West Brom apart yet again, with Yaya Toure slotting home Kolarov's cut-back absolutely beautifully! Excellent, excellent finish from the Ivory Coast international!
22'Excellent defensive contribution from Dzeko! The striker makes his way back to his own penalty area, to nod away a Brunt free-kick delivery, following Kolarov being penalised for a rather naughty and cynical foul on Amalfitano. City aren't allowing the Frenchman nor Long a moment on the ball.
21'AGUERO! It's wide again from the Argentine, but Dzeko's lay-off is again encouraging for City. Their two strikers are combining well, and Aguero looks likely to grab the second goal of the evening. The home fans are perhaps getting a little restless, their side look like the away side.
19'Poor delivery from Navas! The Spaniard's cross is turned away easily by Olsson, after the former Sevilla man was played into plenty of space on the right flank by Nasri. One-way traffic at the Hawthorns, with the subdued home atmosphere mirroring the performance of their side.
18'Still no real signs of a West Brom resurgence, as City continue to monopolise the ball effectively. Dzeko turns on the edge of the penalty box, but Olsson steps in efficiently to block the Bosnian's strike. Even then, the rebound falls to a City player. Everything is going brilliantly for the visitors.
17'Good defending from McAuley! Kolarov is allowed to overlap on the left, before Reid doesn't get close enough to prevent the cross. Aguero and Dzeko are lurking in the penalty area, but a good sliding interception from the former Ipswich central defender turns the delivery away from danger.
16'BERAHINO! His shot is always going wide, skidding off the turf and thudding into the advertising boards behind Pantilimon's goal. The Romanian goalkeeper is forced to cover his post, but I suspect that the City man is simply keen to not make any mistakes to gift Hart a way back into the starting line-up.
15'The first quarter of an hour has been packed full of action, with City certainly having the better of the opening exchanges. Dzeko and Aguero are too much for the Baggies to handle, with Amalfitano and Berahino the only likely catalysts for the hosts. Long has been anonymous.
13'AMALFITANO! Awful effort from the loanee! A pocket of space opens up on the edge of the penalty area, with both Kompany and Demichelis reluctant to close down the opposition midfielder, but the Frenchman drags his eventual shot well wide of the target.
12'DZEKO! Myhill does well to claim the Bosnia international's header, after a good cross into the target man by Aguero. The Argentine was initally picked out by a lovely diagonal ball from the returning Kompany, showing that City are prepared to attack directly if allowed.
10'The dream away start for the away side, as dominance has been rewarded with the breakthrough goal. West Brom look unable to repel the visitors when they're in possession, with the likes of Dzeko and Aguero working extremely well together to find gaps in the Baggies' defence.
9'Assist Pablo Zabaleta
9'Goal Sergio Agüero
GOOOOOOAL! WHAT A GREAT TEAM GOAL! City take the lead, with Aguero smashing beyond the helpless Myhill, following a delightful range of passing. Dzeko slides Zabaleta in behind Ridgewell, before the Argentine squares for his compatriot! City lead 1-0!
8'NASRI! The Frenchman pops up in the centre of the penalty area and is picked out by Aguero, but his touch lets him down, allowing for McAuley to clear. Pellegrini's will be satisfied from what he's seen thus far, the fluid front four he has deployed are working well.
7'An all-action start of the Hawthorns, and despite the absence of plenty of supporters who are presumably stuck in the traffic outside the stadium, the game has sprung into life early on. End-to-end stuff from two sides with interesting attacking options.
6'AGUERO! Wonderful interplay from City, as Dzeko feeds Aguero following some excellent control from the Bosnian. His strike-partner races through of goal, but can only drag his shot wide of Myhill's right hand post.
5'Great play from Berahino! The youngster causes plenty of problems for Fernandinho, beating the Brazilian with ease, before the Englishman's cross can only find the gloves of the tall Pantilimon. So excellent until the end product!
4'Good defending from McAuley! The West Brom man gets a flick onto a Navas cross, turning it away from the awaiting head of Aguero. That was so nearly an opening goal for the away side.
3'OFFSIDE! The linesman has his flag raised to deny the central defensive duo of McAuley and Olsson from having a run at a good free-kick delivery from Brunt. The two defenders rose well, but the official was very quick to give the offside decision, and right too.
2'NASRI! The Frenchman is rather unbalanced as he strikes the first effort of the game towards goal, but the ball balloons off target. City have seen all of the ball thus far, and Clark's men will presumably want to disrupt the visitors before they get into any sort of rhythm.
1'We are finally underway in the first half of tonight's game! Man City welcome some much-missed and interesting faces into their starting line-up, while Berahino will be keen to prove that his contract renewal was worth West Brom's hard-earned money. Hard to call which way this game will go, with Man City having already been defeated four times on the road this season!
We've been delayed here tonight, with kick-off now being pushed back by fifteen minutes due to traffic problems. Not to worry, as we'll be continuing as planned, but unfortunately we won't be getting underway for a little while longer!
Under ten minutes to go until kick-off, and Pellegrini will hope that a win here tonight will allow Man City to keep pace with the early front runners of the Premier League, Arsenal. The Gunners are steaming through the season quite frighteningly, and City need to keep their winning run going to hang onto their coattails. The Baggies need a win to elevate themselves from the potential relegation mire.
Edin Dzeko interestingly gets a start ahead of Negredo for the away side, with Kolarov given an opportunity at left-back ahead of Clichy. Berahino celebrates signing a new long-term deal at the Hawthorns with another Premier League start, with Reid replacing Jones at right full-back too. With both Vydra and Sessegnon starting on the bench tonight for Clark's side, the Scot certainly has the ability to change the game.
Man City substitutes: Hart, Richards, Lescott, Milner, Negredo, Javi Garcia, Rodwell.
Man City starting line-up: Pantilimon; Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov; Fernandinho, Toure; Navas, Aguero, Nasri; Dzeko.
West Brom substitutes: Popov, Lugano, Anichebe, Daniels, Vydra, Gera, Sessegnon.
West Brom starting line-up: Myhill; Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Morrison, Brunt, Yacob, Amalfitano; Long, Berahino.
TEAM NEWS: Vincent Kompany returns at the heart of City's defence, with Pantilimon continuing in between the sticks for the visitors. Silva, Nastasic and Jovetic remain absent through injury. The Baggies are missing two key players of their own, with Ben Foster still in the physio room, and Mulumbu sidelined through suspension.
I'm Simon Harrison, and I will be keeping you up to date with all of the action this evening, as City look to continue their recent momentum. Four wins from their last five games have positioned Pelligrini's outfit only two points off second-placed Liverpool. West Brom, on the other hand, ended a three game unbeaten run with a defeat to Newcastle last weekend, a blow that the home side would like to recover from as quickly as possible.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Manchester City's visit to the Hawthorns, as the Premier League's third-placed side search for three points against Steve Clarke's stuttering West Bromwich Albion. The hosts have had patchy form of late, while City arrive in rather potent goalscoring form. Whether Manuel Pellegrini's side can recreate their high-scoring home exploits tonight, remains to be seen.

Ya'll might make fun and laugh but I don't care, I have to say this. I'm sitting here reading all the happy positive posts and I really do feel emotional. I enjoyed last night's game so much and I am so super proud of the entire GIANTS organization. I knew everyone would step up and they did...giving 110 percent! I truly believe this is an exceptional team with outstanding coaching, truly the very best in the entire NFL. No other team has our unity. No other team has our "I got your back" attitude. No other team has our "down but NEVER out" mentality. No one has anyone quite as special as TC...and of course Eli. This is a very special time for GMEN and the fans, so I hope everyone is as happy and enthusiastic as I am for the rest of the season. The sky is the limits GMEN, keep on soaring. Refuse the negatives and watch the positives come through! LET'S GO GIANTS!
Fan for life!! Love you GMEN and MB members!

First the decision and than hours in the computer reading reviews and suddenly, I found Dr Eric Schaffer website. Very experienced professional, very well rated, outstanding education buut what really makes the different is the person I met. Since my first visit, I knew I was in good and right hands.His passion and compassion make you feel important because he cares about you and your feelings. Today, after a week surgery I feel a completely new person. Thanks Dr Schaffer to bring my self steam back, as I said to you GOD bless your hands .The last but not the least , would like to thanks all his staff that are amazing.
Procedures performed:
I have wanted breast implants almost my entire life. Unfortunately, I kept procrastinating and putting them off-- well, that turned out to be the best decision I ever made because that's how I came across Dr. Schaffer. My breasts are fantastic! I love how they look and am not embarassed by them anymore. I feel so much more confident with these beauties on display. His staff is extremely helpful as well. I was in contact with Debbie for quite some time asking questions about costs and procedure-- she was always so friendly. I love going into the office for check-ups and seeing everyone's friendly faces. Getting breast implants was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I only wish I would have found Dr. Schaffer sooner.
Procedures performed:
My husband and I researched every breast augmentation surgeon in San Antonio for six months before I made my decision, and without question, it was the wisest choice I could have made. We did not want the plastic, over-inflated look that we see in so many women, and when we saw page after page after page of Dr. Schaffer's patients, whom we would not have known were augmented without the "before" pictures, we knew he was the surgeon for whom we were looking. I told him "I want to go as big as I can and still look natural." The number he gave us (400 cc) was much bigger than we had been expecting, but we trusted him (and our judgment), and six months after the surgery, after everything had settled into place, my cup size is twice the size it was, and the look is incredibly natural. Four women at the gym where I work out have begged me for Dr. Schafer's contact information because they could not even tell I have received augmentation.
Procedures performed:
I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Schaffer and his wonderful staff. After giving birth to my three children, my body was in definite need of help. Through diet and exercise I had gotten back into shape, but I still had numerous stretch marks,sagging skin, and a sad excuse for what used to be a belly button. My hips and thighs no longer looked athletic as there seemed to be a layer of fat that just wouldn't budge despite my best efforts. My breasts had always been too large causing me problems, but after the children, they were left extremely droopy causing me even more back trouble than before. I was extremely nervous at my consultation with Dr. Schaffer. I had a hard time allowing even my husband to see me naked. To bare it all for a doctor was nothing short of terrifying. I got myself all worked up for nothing. Dr. Shaffer was extremely pleasant and put me at ease right from the start. I felt very comfortable and confident with him; so much so, that I scheduled my surgeries that very day. I am now four months post-op, and I couldn't be happier. The surgeries were completely life-changing. Dr. Schaffer gave me confidence in myself that had been missing for years.
Procedures performed:
My experience with Dr. Eric Schaffer and his staff was absolutely wonderful. Words cannot describe how grateful I am with the care I received. The staff who work for Dr. Schaffer are so friendly and helpful, and from my first consultation all the way throughout my recovery I received excellent care. Dr. Schaffer is an outstanding surgeon and has exceeded my expectations. After having children my body changed dramatically and I was left with excess skin around my stomach and saggy breast, I lost confidence with the way I looked and needed a change. I did some research and found Dr. Schaffer and so happy I did, he is an artist and has helped change the way I look forever. I have NEVER had a tummy this flat before and I look great! Im looking forward to bathing suit shopping for the first time in years. Thank you so much! Dr. Schaffer, Victoria and Debbie.

Comelec to use pirated software in 2013 polls
The Philippines is striving to live down its notoriety in film, music and info-tech copyright theft. Yet its very government is about to embark on one of the biggest software piracies in the world.
This is the warning being spread by IT professionals about the Comelecs insistence on contracting Smartmatic for the automated balloting in May 2013.
But, as if inured to a humiliating international blacklisting, officials of the election body are ignoring the alarms. And since the Comelec is constitutionally independent, the executive and legislative branches are just watching silently on the side.
Smartmatic, a Venezuelan company with many other assumed nationalities, is to run the precinct count optical scanners for the automated voting. But it does not own the PCOS operating software. The real software developer, Dominion Voting Systems of Canada, has dis-authorized Smartmatic from any further use. The two firms have sued each other in America for damages.

What's Science Got to Do with Climate Change?
What's Science Got to Do with Climate Change?
Stephen Schneider, Professor of Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies, Stanford
Greg Dalton, Founder, Climate One
What risks does the changing climate pose to the global economy and how can we manage those risks? Rather than betting so much on a cap-and-trade regime for carbon pollution, Schneider says policymakers should fund more research to invent our way to a greener economy. Meanwhile, negotiators in Copenhagen need to cut a climate deal with real bite. "Targets without teeth solve nothing," says Schneider.

1984 anti-Sikh riots case: Shoe hurled at judge
Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad hurled a shoe at the judge inside the courtroom.
New Delhi: After the Karkardooma court acquitted Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, All India Sikhs Students Federation President Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad hurled a shoe at the judge inside the courtroom. Karnail Singh was later arrested.
His lawyer said that he hurled the shoe not with the intention to hit the judge, but to express his anger against the judiciary. He added that Karnail Singh was ready to face the consequences.
The acquittal of Sajjan Kumar resulted in protests outside the trial court. A shoe was also thrown at the judge inside the court reportedly. "If Sajjan can't be hanged, then I should be hanged," said Jagdish Kaur, a witness and petitioner in the case.
Sajjan Kumar has been acquitted of all charges in a case relating to the anti-Sikh riots. The case relates to the murder of five Sikhs in the Raj Nagar area of Delhi Cantonment on November 1, 1984 following the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.

Anyone brave enough to venture into an Apple Store today ? If so, please report !
I think we may try and hit the mall later this afternoon so I'll try to update with a Apple store experience .
Happy After T Day to all.
I just came back from the Apple store in the Christiana Mall in Delaware. I'm tight on time, so here's a quick synopsis. There was a line of about 20 people outside the store. It move very, very quickly. My sales rep was very courteous, took his time and even helped me to complete the on-line rebate. Acted as if there were no time pressure at all. An amazing experience.
I'm out the door. I'll report more later.
Apple Store in Bellevue now mobbed at noon (not so much at 9am). iPod Touch and iPads are the big sellers. Modest sales discounts for BF, as is Apple's tradition. If you are selling things people want, store bribes (i.e. discounts) are unnecessary.
Checkout is FAST—Apple's iPod Touch POS devices are amazing at customer turnover. As SJ might say: You want this Sir? BOOM! Thank you very much for shopping at the Apple Store.
No Steve Jobs dolls were noted inside.
At the Mall of America. Saw 7 systems leave in about 10 minutes. Microsoft store also jammed but didn't see anything sold.
I don't mind being wrong…,I just hate being wrong so FAST!
Went to the OakBrook, IL store today. A fairly new MS store is in the same mall. This is an outdoor Mall outside of Chicago. Cold out (about 25F) but the Apple store was packed and lots of stuff going out the door. Going to the MS store afterwards was an interesting comparison. The MS store is larger and just felt dead and was pretty empty. Not good on Black Friday. It's tucked away in a corner that doesn't get the foot traffic that it needs (very easy to bypass it - stupid placement on their part). They had a 3 deals they were promoting - cheaper Netbook of some sort and a $150 card if you bought something big and something else (didn't look at it too closely). One thing I noticed was that they were handing out their specials on a flyer on card stock that had been perforated and torn apart. Apple was promoting way more items and they're on a nice printed piece. It's all part of what sets Apple apart. I'm sure that they think that no one would ever notice. There was an air of excitement at the Apple store and pretty much every piece on display had someone using it. We purchased our 4th iPad (gave 2 as bday presents yesterday, My 75yr. old Mom was thrilled to get one) so I've done my duty. Have a new iMac to buy before Xmas and that's it!
- [ Ignore ]
Milwaukee area (probably the Bayshore store)
Stores are providing incentives to buy the mundane…
?I just bought a scarf,? said one shopper.
?to the mesmerizing.
?The IPad is a huge adult gift to give,? said Christine McLaughlin of Mequon.
The mother of three says it's all about the electronics this year. The IPad is the hot item for the adults.
And her kids are clamoring for?
?The Kindle is really big. The Kinect, which is the new XBOX, is really big. And always, always the IPod,? she said with a smile.
But the IPod isn't just for kids, just ask Denise Nissen, of Green Bay, who waited in line for an IPod Touch Thursday night.
"The line went around the entire building,? she said. ?We were one of those folks in the cold.?
Apple Store The Westchester in White Plains, NY. No line outside the store around 7:15 pm, but well-filled and very busy on the inside. All iPad tables filled; children playing games while their parents watched, other people experimenting with apps. The MacBook Airs are ridiculously thin and rigid; just beautiful - these are the future of laptops. I had my iPad in it's case with me, and the 13" Air folded up felt about the same as the iPad.
I smiled a lot, walking around and seeing all of this.
Finally made it to the apple store in Sherman oaks , typing this on one of the iPads . It's 7pm and the mall looked pretty quiet ... Until we reached the apple store : ).
Tables are packed and the place is buzzing. On another note , I ordered a iPad using the old fashioned phone number while eating dinner earlier , person that took my order told me that their computers crashed earlier due to the traffic !
Another record breaking monster quarter about to be served up !
I spoke with the salesperson who sold us my wife's new iMac and asked if he had been there last year. He said he'd been there for the last five. I asked if it had been a LOT busier than last year. He replied "not a LOT but quite a bit busier". I asked if he really thought they needed to have the portable aisle system up as people seemed reluctant to enter it and approach the sales table. He responded that they probably didn't need it then but they couldn't have managed without it when they were "crazy busy" earlier. And I thought they were crazy busy when I was there.
Anecdotally I don't recall ever seeing the Mall of America quite so busy nor so many carrying packages. Based on what I saw today I wouldn't pretend to say that the economic pain is behind us but I would say that people don't seem willing to let it drive their buying behavior this holiday season. My guess is that far more of those "intent to purchase" sales will take place than in years gone by.
I don't mind being wrong…,I just hate being wrong so FAST!

For Easter weekend my entire family was together in California. My sister was in town from NY with her boyfriend who had never gone camping or done any high adventure outdoor desert activities. Because of this we decided to go camping at Soggy Dry Lake in the Lucerne Valley and show him what kind of fun you can have in the middle of nowhere.
I really don't know why the Soggy Dry Lake has the name it does. It is as dry as can be but not wet or "soggy." The lake bed is flat and large which makes it a perfect place for beginners to learn how to ride and push their bikes. I was able to ride a dirt bike at 90 MPH without any fear of hitting anything that would take it down. The surrounding area also has a lot of trails for quads and dirt bikes. Since I don't have too much experience on dirt bikes I took a quad around on the various trails. If you stay up against the hills there are a lot of fun small trails with little jumps, hill climbs, and banks.
Shotgun shooting is allowed in the Soggy Dry Lake Recreation Area as well. Between me and other family members we had four shotguns available to shoot. We brought our own clay disk thrower and went through a couple boxes of clay (plus some fruit and soda cans). Hand guns and rifles are not allowed so those have to stay home.
One thing great about the desert is the amazing sunsets in the evening. I took a few pictures of the sunset the night I was out there and they are below:
After the sun sets it is a perfect time for a nice campfire. I can sit around a fire for a couple hours just enjoying the night with the warmth of the fire. In the desert there is little risk of the fire spreading because there isn't much to burn.
Making a weekend getaway out of the desert trip isn't a bad idea because at night the stars in the Lucerne Valley are amazing. Without all the light pollution of the city one can see hundreds of stars in the sky. It is also a lot easier to see shooting stars. Just looking at the stars for a couple minutes I saw a shooting star fly across the desert sky. My brother also saw a shooting star after looking at the stars are a couple minutes.

Dalia Dorner, a retired justice of the Israeli High Court, announced her candidacy for election as Israel's next president.
If her candidacy is accepted, Dorner will be the second woman to run for the post and the only female candidate so far in the 2014 campaign, according to a Feb. 13 report by Army Radio.
To be registered as candidates, applicants need the signatures of at least 10 lawmakers of the Israeli Knesset, whose members elect the president. In Israel, the title is largely ceremonial.
The Army Radio report did not say whether Dorner, 79, who heads the Israel Press Council, has collected the signatures.
"I decided it was time for Israel to have a female president," she said as she announced her candidacy during a lecture at the Technion. "Even if I'm not chosen, it will open the door for future generations of candidates."
Elections to determine the successor to Shimon Peres are scheduled to take place in June.
The first woman to run for the post was Colette Avital, a former diplomat and lawmaker, in 2007. Peres won the election. — jta

Fall is without a doubt my favorite time of year. It always has been. From the cooler temps and changing leaves to things like apple picking and pumpkin carving, it brings back so many wonderful childhood memories. Now that I'm a mom myself, I look forward to this time of year with my little ones. I really try to make the most of this beautiful season by being fun and festive. September is perfect for one of my very favorite traditions — apple picking!
Each September, our family takes a weekend afternoon to go apple picking. It's one of my favorite things to do this time of year! From the photos ops (like the one below!) to the yummy fruits we get to take home, it's such a fun and simple outing to do with the ones you love. Many apple orchards nowadays have "extras" too, like petting zoos, fresh homemade apple cider, and more. The one we like to visit has an alpaca farm! If you're looking for a local orchard to visit this month, check out Pick Your Own. It'll let you search by state, zip code, and more!

My second PM book report
Posted by Tom Grant on January 9, 2009
- 297 Recommendations
- 0 comments
As I said in my last post, different types of product management books serve different needs. Rich Mironov's The Art Of Product Management doesn't aspire to be a detailed reference manual. Instead, it provides quick, vivid snapshots of the challenges that product managers face on a day-to-day basis.
At least, it's one version of product management. To continue the Band Of Brothers analogy from my last post, you might not be a paratrooper, but if you're in the Army, you may learn quite a lot about the job of being another type of infantryman from the story of the 101st Airborne in
Psychology Before Sociology
Much of Mironov's advice addresses perhaps the most personal aspects of product management: mentally, how should you approach the job? How do you stay productive? When is it a good idea to get out of management and back into the "individual contributor" role? While I'm skeptical of product management training or advice that hovers only in the realm of exhortation, never telling you exactly what you need to do tomorrow, it bears listening to what Mironov has to say. Here's a particularly, er, pungent example:
So what is product management? As you'll see, that's difficult question to answer briefly. My closest analogy is to parenting...I've recapped "Parenting And The Art Of Product Management" thousands of times, and still believe that "we're not really parents [or product managers] until we've gotten some poop on our hands and laughed about it."
As a parent and product manager, I couldn't agree more.
Politics Is The Master Science
Beyond these "psychological" questions, Mironov provides a lot of helpful advice about the "sociology" of product management--the core job functions, and the different groups with whom you work. Actually, political science is the better analogy, since Mironov clearly has a lot of experience with the political side of product management. (In fact, one chapter, "Product Management Is Inherently Political," sets the tone pretty explicitly.)
While the equivalent of an Army field manual might tell you the way product management should work, of equal value is anything that helps you navigate the way things work in reality. Mironov has plenty of good tips on the fine art of getting things done, such as preventing salespeople from overwhelming the development team with too many special requests.
No doubt the book is more than a little autobiographical. Mironov's very useful classification of beta customers (loyal opposition, overcommitted, and reluctant volunteers) sounds like the product of first-hand experience in running beta programs.
New Realities Demand New Theories
Mironov also has many good bits of advice on some of the newer challenges product managers face. As an increasing number of development teams adopt Agile development methods, product managers need to change the way they work. The deliverables may change from current requirements documents to user stories. Maintaining a prioritized feature backlog becomes a regular part of the job, instead of a rushed activity right before planning the next release. More ongoing work puts more demands on the PM team, which may require a larger PM team.
Software as a service (SaaS), too, changes the way in which product managers work. Product managers bear a special responsibility to tell companies what they're really getting into when adopting a SaaS model for product delivery.
So, Which Book Should I Buy?
As you can probably guess from my comments on both The Product Manager's Desk Reference and The Art Of Product Manageement, I think both are valuable books. Each attacks the job of product management from a different angle. Both points of view are essential to understanding product management--a profession full of unexpected twists and turns, but much like parenting, well worth making the commitment.
