Dr. Entertainment
THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE – November 29, 1997
Dr. Entertainment
Do C.E.O.s really need Michael Wolf?
MICHAEL J. WOLF has the appearance and demeanor of a physician to the
well-to-do: a youngish, slightly graying Upper East Side specialist, a
pediatrician, maybe, or a psychiatrist. He is trim and dapper and sincere
and prosperous-looking, radiating both extreme confidence and a reassuring
deference. His manner, like that of a busy doctor, politely suggests that
he knows a lot, definitely more than you do, and that although he doesn't
have any time to waste, he's happy to use his knowledge to help you.
Wolf is a management consultant to the entertainment
and media industries, and he works at the firm of Booz, Allen & Hamilton.
His roster of former and current clients includes Ted Turner and Sumner
Redstone, Universal, Time Warner, Hearst, News Corporation, Bertelsmann,
MTV, NBC, the N.F.L., and the N.B.A. He is certainly the most well-known
person in his field, and perhaps the most highly regarded. His success
is a function of fortuitous timing, and of his own shrewdness in exploiting
the moment. In the late eighties, he saw that the infotainment businesses
were consolidating, expanding, and, as a result of new technologies,
experiencing a variously hopeful and panicked gold-rush hysteria. He
saw that conditions were ideal to begin selling calm, clear-eyed, buttoned-down
advice about how to cope with growth, and with the new age of home video,
cable TV, and the Internet.
At 7:35 one morning earlier this year, Wolf stepped
into a conference room at Booz, Allen's Manhattan offices to join three colleagues,
all of them, like him, white men dressed in conservative ties and white
shirts. The three younger colleagues were there to brief Wolf, the "practice
leader," on the team's work for a record company. (The recording
industry, more than any other, is being discombobulated by new technology.If
music can be downloaded at home off the Internet, who needs record stores?)
Wolf declined the catered pastries in favor of
an apple he'd brought
from home. (He also carries his own snack bags of carrot sticks to meetings
outside the office, and doesn't drink alcohol or coffee.) The team's
discussion concerned
merchandising—CD-pricing logic, promotional "incentive" payments
by record companies to stores—and how to persuade the client to take
their advice.
"What we baked into this program," one of the junior consultants
said of a new pricing scheme they'd drafted for the client, "is
significant volume discounts."
"Everyone at the company agrees with the implementation we talked
about," another associate said. "It looks reasonably implementable."
"We met yesterday" with executives at the client company,
the first junior consultant said, "and we got some pushback on the
new pricing"—"pushback" is their word for "disagreement"—"from
some of the label guys. They're terrified long-term."
Someone suggested that they gather the heads of
the company's labels
for a Booz, Allen tutorial in distribution. Wolf shook his head. "The
last thing you want to do is get all the label guys in the same room. That
would be a disaster." In other words, the clients might get riled
up, and Wolf's job is to keep them calm and rational. The meeting
broke up when it was time for Wolf to give a radio interview.
Until recently, Wolf has been a background figure
in the entertainment and media businesses, familiar only to the cognoscenti.
But, after a decade spent advising the glamorous executives of glamorous
companies on how to fix their unglamorous strategic problems, Wolf has
entered the public realm himself. Earlier this year, he published a book, "The Entertainment
Economy: How Mega-Media Forces Are Transforming Our Lives," and he
has worked hard to promote it. The book has two incontrovertible theses.
First, that because Americans now consider "fun as an entitlement," a
diagnosis Wolf makes without judgment, larger and larger swaths of life
can be profitably understood as forms of entertainment—not just TV
and music and journalism but retailing and politics and fast food and automobiles.
The second idea, which is even more of a contemporary commonplace, is that
virtually everything—not just movies and magazines and artists but
also cable channels and studios and entire corporations—should be
considered brands.
When I asked Wolf why he published the book, he
was suddenly at a loss for words. "The main reason was because a lot of the things that
I talk about in the book are…Let me start over again." Then he
hemmed and hawed diplomatically, since he couldn't very well say
he wrote it (or, rather, conscripted Booz, Allen employees to assemble
research and hired a professional writer to turn his rough drafts into
finished prose) in order to reveal the interesting secrets of his clients,
or because he figured book buyers would want to spend twenty-five dollars
to get the same advice for which a corporation pays him two hundred thousand
dollars a month, or even because he was tired of working for household
names and not being famous himself. "He realizes that you've
got to personalize the brand," one of his colleagues explained to
me. So the book is a means of creating and promoting the Michael Wolf brand
to a mass audience beyond his élite client pool, whose own brands
he helps to promote to the mass audience.
This puts Wolf in a tricky position. Although he
wants wider renown and respect, he's hesitant to boast about specific accomplishments. Professional
etiquette won't permit him to claim credit, for example, for CNBC's
successful expansion onto the Internet, or for convincing Viacom to invest
more in its Nickelodeon channel, or for the ratings turnaround of MTV.
After the week I spent sitting in on strategy meetings that Wolf conducted
with his Booz, Allen partners and teams of young M.B.A. foot soldiers,
I called to ask if he had taken on any consulting projects since we'd
last spoken. "New engagements?" he replied, using his consulting
term of art. "Well, people are always asking my advice. I'm
flying over to Germany next week to talk to the head of a major media company." Another
time, he referred unself-consciously to "all the moguls I deal with." He
wants the civilian world to be impressed, but he must be discreet, so he
tends to name-drop generically.
But what advice do the power brokers seek? What
exactly does a big-time management consultant do? From the outside, Wolf's life resembles
an investment banker's—at his desk in a suit on Park Avenue
every morning by 7:30, seldom home before 9 P.M., in Palo Alto or London
several days a week, a relentless stream of urgent phone calls to and from
moguls and their sub-moguls. But whenI suggested that he is the consulting
industry's version of the mergers-and-acquisitions whiz Steven Rattner,
Wolf twisted up his face, as if he'd been accused of something a
little unwholesome. He pointed out that what he does "is not about
chitchatting with C.E.O.s. Investment bankers can do that." He noted,
with some pride, that he earns substantially less than his investment-banker
peers, in the low seven figures. (This income disparity, he believes, indicates
that what he does is nobler than mere deal-making.) The job of the M. & A.
swashbuckler, motivated strictly by fees based on a percentage of any deal,
is to persuade his C.E.O. client to buy Company X or sell out to Company
Y. "My job," Wolf said, "is to give them the right answer.
It may not necessarily be the answer they want to hear—and, in fact,
most of the time it isn't the answer they want to hear."
Unlike the overwhelming majority of the two hundred
consultants who work under him at Booz, Allen, Wolf does not have an
M.B.A. Nor did he have any deep experience in the field before he set
himself up as an expert. After graduating from Columbia, he said, "I did marketing for one
of the Hollywood studios, and then I went to Europe, where I worked in
financial services, doing marketing—"
Which studio? I asked.
"I worked for an ad agency in Miami," he
paused to explain, that had Paramount as one of its clients.
Nor is he the sort of charismatic visionary who
changes people's
minds by the sheer force of his presence. He is slightly built and courtly,
and has none of the ferocious, fixed-eye-contact enthusiasm of the hard-sell
mesmerizer. Instead, what Wolf had when he arrived at Booz, Allen, in 1989,
was perfect breeding for the industry—his father is an investment
adviser, his mother, Jeanne Wolf, has been a producer and an on-air correspondent
for "Entertainment Tonight" and the E! entertainment channel—as
well as the good fortune to arrive at the beginning of the digital revolution. "Technology
is going to change my clients' businesses," he said. "The
ground is moving underneath these people. It really is. It's shifting
all the time." He smiled, like a successful trial lawyer talking
about the glut of tort litigation. Until Wolf got into the business, Booz,
Allen's entertainment-and-media practice was puny; today, he and
his consultants bring in a hundred million dollars a year, about a fifth
of the firm's commercial revenues.
Wolf also understood that the men and women who
create cable-TV empires and record companies tend to operate by hunch
and instinct, and aren't
predisposed to pore over numbers, draft five-year plans, or systematically
scrutinize P. & L.s and operating doctrines. So Wolf and his consultants
function as their blue-chip rent-a-nerds.
"Eighty per cent of business decisions are intuition," one
C.E.O. who has worked with Wolf told me. "There's a false security
that by hiring a consultant you're going to have analysis that will
allow you to make the right decision." The main reason Wolf does
so well, according to this executive, is that he is adept at both number-crunching
and the more touchy-feely forms of executive support. The same client said, "Michael
Wolf was very good with me—calling, having lunch, listening." Although
Wolf's clients all agree that he and his teams are smart and hardworking,
none of them could mention any specific, indispensable new idea or approach
that the consultants had provided. "It validates and puts detail
on what you already know," Anthea Disney, an executive vice-president
of News Corporation, said of consultants generally. "It's always
nice to have what you think is true validated. But I don't think
we learned tremendous things from them. I find this notion of the consultant
as the supremely knowledgeable person idiotic. It's offensive that
people who are outsiders are anointed gurus of the media business. They
look at your business from the outside, and they make judgments they may
not be equipped to make."
At a question-and-answer appearance at the W Hotel,
in Manhattan, to promote "The
Entertainment Economy," Wolf's interlocutor, the News Corporation
book publisher and television host Judith Regan, asked him, "What
do your clients need to do?" And he replied, "Make hits." It
reminded me of the story of the know-it-all explaining to the comedian
how easy the comedian's job is ("You know, it's just 'Hello
ladies and gentlemen, joke, joke, joke, where are you from, joke, joke,
joke, you've been a great audience, joke, joke,' applause").
But Wolf wasn't kidding. A few years ago, when he summarized his
team's findings to the executives of the Nickelodeon cable channel,
he told them that the way for Nick to grow even more successful was by
making hits, and owning those hits. The recommendation, in the view of
more than one Nickelodeon executive at the time, was not so much obvious
as it was wrong, since the most successful cable channels—MTV, CNN,
E!—are, in fact, not driven by individual hits.
To buttress their argument that Nickelodeon needed
to concentrate more on creating hit shows, the Booz, Allen consultants
told the executives that the channel's new rival, the Cartoon Network, was about to have
a big hit with its remake of the animated series "Jonny Quest." Some
years earlier, Wolf and Booz, Allen had finished an engagement for Turner
Broadcasting, which owns the Cartoon Network. ("Jonny Quest" did
not become a hit, as it turned out.)
"We won't work for rivals," Wolf told me, "and
that rule outlives specific engagements. We're conflicted out all
the time." So how did he justify consulting for Nickelodeon after
working for Turner? "That was later," he explained, and added
that the two engagements dealt with "different issues." He
also admitted that he has worked for "every trade-book publisher." Since
all the big entertainment and media companies compete in multiple businesses—movies
and cable channels and books and magazines—any company that brings
Wolf in must have a tolerant attitude toward inherent conflicts of interest.
But, as Wolf told me, the apparent "conflicts" often make him
more attractive to his clients. David Stern, the N.B.A. commissioner, says
one of the reasons he chose Booz, Allen was that Wolf had already worked
for the N.F.L., and also for the TV networks that pay the N.B.A. for the
rights to broadcast games. As one former client put it, "Michael's
global perspective"—meaning his inside knowledge of competitors' businesses—is
worth any theoretical risk of one's own corporate secrets leaking
out. He is like a bee buzzing among his clients' companies, flying
from corporate flower to corporate flower, carrying bits of pollen from
Time Warner down to Viacom, from Bertelsmann over to Hearst, and so on,
round and round, cross-fertilizing the blooms in the infotainment ecology.
MICHAEL WOLF believes that his strongest suit
is fearless, apolitical truth-telling. "A lot of the reason I've been able to work
well with a lot of these people," he said, "is that I and our
firm are very tough. I can go into a meeting room and shoot a missile in." Yet
he seems very reluctant to alienate current or future clients.
One morning, Wolf was in a Booz, Allen conference room with two consultants
who work under him, putting the final touches on an upcoming presentation
to the executives of a magazine-publishing company.
Michele Anderson, the senior underling in the room,
mentioned that one of the company's biggest magazines "had
a tremendous falloff of readers per copy year to year."
"They're all saying, 'Circ is down, circ is down,'" Wolf
said. "But no one is looking at the root causes. We can't take
an incremental approach."
A little later, Anderson said that executives at the company wanted to
change the way they think about building circulation.
"But they haven't done anything," Wolf said. "It
really comes down to the ability to execute."
Anderson suggested they create a slide for the
presentation that would depict the long-term circulation declines of
all the company's magazines.
No. "That may be rubbing salt in the wound," he told her. "I
don't want this to be a lot of doom and gloom."
ANOTHER time, Wolf and his partner Geoff Sands were meeting with two
younger consultants, both women, to plan the presentation of their report
to the executives of a cable-TV channel.
"We looked at a lot of out-of-the-box options," one
of the consultants explained.
Before she could list those options, Wolf said, "But they're
not going to work."
The young woman smiled.
"I'm still intrigued by the idea of using the channel as a
testing ground for new network shows," Sands said. "But the
people at the channel really pushed back on that."
"They didn't have a very good development slate in the past," the
other woman said.
"Is there enough money for them to be doing their own shows?" Wolf
Heads were tilted tentatively, dubiously, then shaken.
"We got a lot of resistance on anything to do with scheduling," Sands
The senior of the two consultants said, "One big pitch we make is
for new investment. We need to say, 'You should build this asset
as opposed to'…" She smiled. "We didn't say 'milking.'"
"They need a bold stroke," Wolf said.
Someone mentioned the boldest, most obvious stroke
of all—persuading
the channel's various co-owners to sell their partial interests to
just one among them so that the channel would have a single corporate parent
with a consistent agenda.
Wolf shook his head. "Don't turn their world upside down.
I don't think it's realistic. They'll just find it irritating."
IN "The Entertainment Economy," Wolf describes just about
every entertainment C.E.O. in America as a genius. ("That's
way cranked back," his collaborator, Peter Kaminsky, said. "He
was more effusive about all of them" in the original version.) And
in the internal Booz, Allen meetings I attended, after the candid roundtable
critiques of the various companies' shortsightedness and disarray,
Wolf invariably reined in his staff, cautioning them not to upset the clients
by being too blunt.
He seemed taken aback when I mentioned this. "I think there's
a difference between annoying somebody and picking your battles," he
explained. "This is not about pulling punches. What I don't
want to do is just put up a bunch of stuff that annoys people. A lot of
this comes down to how you present the answer. See, when you deal with
entertainment companies, they're used to stories and narratives,
so they have to be able to walk through the logic and get to the answer
Wolf repeatedly uses therapeutic tropes to explain
his work. "If
you ask my six-year-old what does his dad do, he says, 'He's
a doctor for companies.'" Describing the difficulties he's
had convincing client companies to deal with their dysfunctions, Wolf said, "People
won't take their medicine unless they believe their tummy aches." Often,
his doctor-patient metaphors are specifically psychiatric. More than once,
he spoke of companies "being in denial" when he tells them
they have problems. The Booz, Allen team's principal task for the
N.B.A., according to David Stern, has been helping him to transform the
league from a mom-and-pop outfit into a much bigger, bureaucratically managed
multimedia entertainment corporation—introducing tighter budgetary
and business planning, cost-benefit analysis, strategic-planning processes.
But in addition, Stern said, "Michael has a calming influence on
me." When I asked Wolf how he bills clients, he said, "It's
based on hours, but usually we agree on a fee up front. We don't
want clients to feel we have any interest" in running up billable
hours, "like your psychiatrist has an interest in your illness."
Interestingly, that is precisely Anthea Disney's complaint about
her Booz, Allen experience. "Part of their thing is to draw a bleaker
picture of your business, so you keep coming back," she told me. "They're
not going to tell you you're well and you don't need the treatment.
They don't want you to get off the couch."
Several months after we met, Wolf assured me that
all of the engagements I had observed earlier had been successful. The
patients were on the road to recovery. At the cable channel, he said, "I showed what they were
doing wasn't going to work. The programming person didn't want
to change, but my job is to be an agent of change." His record-company
client had announced its new CD-pricing scheme, and had got favorable press
coverage. The magazine company, he said, is persuading clothing stores
to carry one of its women's magazines, "because it makes the
retail offering cooler."
"ULTIMATELY, you have to make judgments about the intrinsic qualities
of the products," Wolf said of his work as a consultant. His clients' products
include Comedy Central's "South Park" and its new, bouncing-bosom
program, "The Man Show"; the "Jerry Springer Show" (Studios
USA); "Rivera Live" (CNBC); and "World Championship Wrestling" (Time
Warner). More than one of his clients distribute rap CDs that glorify misogyny
and guns. "Yes," he acknowledged, "but I think some of
my clients, like MTV—MTV has very smartly sponsored antiviolence
campaigns….I have yet to find a case where there's a client I won't
work for. But I wouldn't be surprised if that day came…. So far,
I haven't."
I asked Wolf if he ever had any qualms about his
work, whether, for instance, he's disturbed by the replacement of homespun civic culture with
synthetic, mass-marketed fun. "I'm not disturbed by it," he
said. "I really believe that entertainment in a lot of ways has become
a way for people to come together…. It has, in fact, become—I'm
convinced of this—it's become a replacement for religion. And
I think that in the same way people used to quote Scripture they're
now quoting 'Seinfeld.'"
Despite his surface nerdiness, Wolf needs to be
fluent, as he says often, with "what's cool and what's not cool." I heard
him tell someone that "the Taco Bell Chihuahua is about being cool." He
recently started wearing jeans to work on some days, and told me he wants
Booz, Allen's next offices to be more open and loftlike—"cool." During
a meeting, when Wolf mentioned the difficulty of breaking new recording
artists, one of the younger consultants brought up two recent breakthrough
successes, Fatboy Slim and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Wolf and the other two
suit-and-tie white guys all nodded knowingly: Hmm, right, Big Bad Voodoo
Daddy. When another junior consultant touted the prospects of Les Nubians,
a duo of Spice Girls manqué from France, Wolf shook his head.
"Americans aren't going to buy a French group," he
Wolf's partner John Frelinghuysen then suggested
that he listen to the techno-pop band Enigma.
"I've heard Enigma," he replied quickly, "and
it's not gonna happen. It's an L.A. and New York thing."
At the meeting about one of their cable-channel
clients, Geoff Sands said the firm's essential recommendation would be that the executives "focus
on edgy."
Wolf agreed. "It's about what your parents don't
want you to watch. Like MTV."
"I think you're right," Sands said. "Racy, edgy,
"Racy, no," Wolf amended. "Edgy, yes. Irreverent, yes." A
little later, discussing how to present the recommendations to that client,
Wolf said, "We have to revisit this issue about 'edgy.'"
"We've tried to push this," one of his lieutenants said,
but the channel's head of programming "gets very, very touchy."
Wolf said that instead of critiquing specific programs
on the channel they should push the executives to make changes in scheduling
that would merely give the channel's edgier programs a higher profile. "It
reminds me of the time with Lew Wasserman," he said, referring to
his work for the chairman of M.C.A./Universal in 1995. "Someone said, 'I
don't like that show,' and I kicked him under the table. Nobody
cares what the consultant likes."
WHAT does the consultant like? Wolf's job is to advise the distributors
and marketers of every form of popular culture. "I'll bet you
he really watches nothing," one of his clients in the TV business—a
satisfied client—had said to me. And one of his colleagues said,
more or less approvingly, "He experiences media and entertainment
as executive summaries. He sees if it works or not." But I was curious
about Wolf's own tastes, about which kinds of entertainment and media
engage or amuse him most.
"I watch a lot of TV shows," he said. "I
spend an enormous amount of time in music stores, in bookstores."
But he didn't mention any specific programs,
bands, or books. Does he watch MTV?
"Most of the time—I turned it off just now," he said,
sounding a little anxious, nodding toward the television set in a corner
of his office. "What I try to do is to know what's going on,
what's being listened to, what kind of movies are out there. I can
read a women's magazine, because I work for a lot of women's
magazines, and there are parts I'll laugh at. I have a great time
at this."
But presumably, I suggested, he prefers to work for clients whose products
genuinely interest him.
"Of course not," he said. "Because what's exciting
about this is getting a view of what's appealing to every type of
group. One of our clients is one of the big TV networks in Brazil. They
produce these telenovelas, the soap operas. I can have a good time watching
it. That doesn't mean that's something I'm going to turn
on every day."
When I pressed Wolf for an example of something
he personally enjoys—an
author or a composer or pop act or director—he finally remembered
one thing. "This is going to sound corny," he said, "but
one of the only times that I was dying to see a movie was one of the 'Star
Trek' movies—'First Contact.' I called over to
Viacom and said, 'Please, can I come?'" He giggled. "But
Michael Wolf may be the ultimate undiscriminating
postmodern cultural consumer, crazy about nothing, happy to glancingly
experience everything. "At
this point, it's really not about my tastes," he told me. "I
enjoy a lot of things—my tastes are also sort of very with the masses….I
like comedies….I'm just trying to think, Is there something?" He
thought for another moment. "The tough question is, Is there something
I don't like?" ©

Three great managers. Three words.
Sir Alex Ferguson: indomitability. Jose Mourinho: pragmatism. Pep Guardiola: beauty.
Fair enough, I think. The choices are not meant to disparage the teams of Ferguson and Mourinho.
Both, particularly Ferguson, have produced sides capable of breathtaking attacking play.
Yet for a while, Guardiola cornered the market in beautiful football.
He didn't patent it but for four years as the coach of Barcelona, he did monopolise it.
Think of him and you think of intricate passing patterns and a love of the ball.
Think of him and you think of the apogee of tiki-taka.
Guardiola equals Xavi and Andres Iniesta at their bewitching best.
Guardiola equals setting Lionel Messi free to wreak havoc with his genius.
He represents the joy of attack and the lavish rule of flair.
And he represents a refusal to compromise his principles even when they are under the fiercest attack.
He was a thinker, too. He was cerebral and polite. He was modest. The players loved him. So did the media.
Mourinho can turn a club into a pariah. In fact, he seems to seek to bathe himself and his club in trouble.
There is none of that with Guardiola. He nurtured Barcelona's reputation and its history.
So it is of little surprise that as Guardiola approaches the half way point of his sabbatical from the game, everybody wants him. He is the king across the water.
The perception, at least, is that Guardiola can bring more than mere success.
He can bring beauty, too. He can make a club not just respected but admired. He can make a club loved.
It is why, whenever Roberto Di Matteo stumbles at Chelsea, Roman Abramovich is supposed to yell to his minions: 'Get me Pep, now'.
It is why, whenever Roberto Mancini falters in the Champions League, it seems obvious why an ex-Barcelona hierarchy is in place at Manchester City.
It is why some at Manchester United must be thinking that now, while Guardiola is on the market, would be an awfully convenient time for Ferguson to retire.
Chelsea are said to be the favourites to win his signature, however harsh that seems on Di Matteo. But from the moment the Italian was only given a two-year contract, there was speculation it was because Chelsea wanted Guardiola to take over this summer.
They have recruited players that Guardiola would relish working with, too. Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar: it is like a team waiting for its manager. But the suspicion is that City would fight hard to woo Guardiola away from London.
Mancini has done a fine job in many ways at the Etihad but if City are knocked out of the Champions League tonight, he will be under intense pressure.
Is it really just a co-incidence that City have recently recruited Txiki Begiristain, the man who went out on a limb to appoint Guardiola as Barcelona manager, as their sporting director?
Is it really just a co-incidence that their chief excutive, Ferran Soriano, also worked with Guardiola at the Nou Camp?
And then there is the most intriguing question of all: the succession to Ferguson at Old Trafford.
There is no compelling reason why Ferguson should be hurried into retirement.
United lie second in the Premier League and had already qualified for the knock-out stages of the Champions League before last night's tie with Galatasaray.
The club's problem is that if Ferguson does not quit this summer, it will probably be next summer and Guardiola will be gone by then.
There are other talented managers out there for United to choose from but Guardiola ticks an awful lot of their boxes.
He would continue Ferguson's philosophy of attacking football, perhaps even refine it and accentuate it.
He has worked with the best, he has won the biggest prizes in the game, he would command the instant respect of the dressing room.
He would fit the club's image. He would seek to build on everything Ferguson achieved rather than destroy it and start again as others might.
And he is 41, a young manager who has already accumulated a wealth of experience.
Writing the foreword to Guillem Ballague's excellent new biography of Guardiola, Another Way of Winning, even Ferguson acted as a referee for the former Barcelona boss.
He wrote of the difficulty of achieving consistent success and how Guardiola had lifted Barcelona to new heights.
"I am convinced he has enough weapons to do it again and again and again," Ferguson concluded.
Maybe Guardiola will get a chance to prove it at Old Trafford.
Maybe if United were to surprise everyone by winning the Champions League this season, it would be the perfect time for Ferguson to go.
By then, though, it will probably be too late.
As Guardiola revels in his family life on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the hunt to bring him back to Europe is starting to quicken.
Walcott is worth his weight in wages
Santi Cazorla took most of the headlines in the north London derby at the Emirates on Saturday but Theo Walcott had one of his best games in an Arsenal shirt.
His performance was full of intelligence, clever runs, hard work, fine crossing and good finishing. Arsenal say they want to keep him and if they mean it, they should do the deal now. Walcott is not a greedy man. Pay him the going rate for a player of his class and he'll sign.
Becks will be back in football
David Beckham is supposed to be a celebrity footballer, whatever that means. It is supposed to suggest, I think, that he doesn't really love the game, that he values the attention the game brings more than the game itself.
Funny, then, that Beckham has said he wants one last football challenge when he leaves LA Galaxy in December. Forget the idea he needs any more publicity. He's already got air stewardesses waking him up mid-flight to take his picture.
Unpalatable though his critics may find it, the truth is that even at 37, Beckham loves the game and is not ready to let it go. Which ever club provides him with his last challenge, they are unlikely to regret it.
Mock Ronaldo at your peril
In an era without Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo would be regarded as the best footballer in the world by a distance.
It will be a treat to watch him on his return to Manchester with Real Madrid on Wednesday, although perhaps less so for Manchester City fans.
Ronaldo may have become a better player since he left Manchester United three years ago but he is still searching for another Champions League victory to go with the one he won in Moscow in 2008. He will want to make City suffer in his pursuit of that goal.
Carroll will come good
Andy Carroll has failed to score a single Premier League goal since joining West Ham in the summer.
It makes him an easy target for criticism and his angry reaction to being substituted during the draw with Stoke on Monday night was evidence the drought is getting to him.
I'd still mark Carroll's move down as a success, though. West Ham are seventh in the Premier League. They would have been fifth if they'd beaten Stoke. That's a lot higher than anyone expected and part of that is down to Carroll's contribution.
When he breaks his duck, which he will soon, he will start hitting the target regularly again.

A letter for the Mommy Squad
Thoughts? Email your advice to firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm going crazy. I have a 12yr old daughter that clearly has been taken over by hormonal rage. EVERY sentence ends with a dramatic sigh. Every question is sarcastic and rude. Every conversation ends with this girl being upset and burdened. I GIVE UP!! It's like aliens took over. Her favorite new weapon is muttering under her breath. I asked her to clean her bathroom and she muttered " clean your own bathroom" In that moment, I became 12 again. I lost it. I just unloaded how tired I was of her negativity and disrespect. She has barely looked at me or spoken to me in 2 days, but she is just fine to her dad, who thinks this is all pretty funny. I have tried every approach. I have ignored it, I have been militant, I have been understanding. NOTHING HELPS. Any advice to keep me from losing my mind??

That means you first have to use the PV=nRT twice to get to those 3 unknowns (actually you'd know all 4 by then). How's this for simplified?
I meant it's a simplification in that it's an algebraic simplification by definition. If you assume volume and molecules of gas are constant, you can
the equations by canceling the terms out. I realize that it is a special case and doesn't apply in every situation. No one is saying that the ideal gas law always simplifies to that form.

I will continue to try to justify a 2 bar cap, but I don't think I ever will.
I think it's time one of us measures the pressure and see if the theory matches the reality. The only thing I can think of is that if you reach atmospheric pressure while the heatercore is running, and then subsequently shut off the heat, the coolant level will rise a bit and decrease the volume for air. I don't know if that would be enough to bring the pressure to 2 bar (let alone 3) in any circumstance though.
I should probably mention - I'm just a senior in college, not majoring in engineering or chemistry, so my knowledge will have gaps compared to both of yours. But nonetheless, this has been fun

Greetings all. My wife and I recently took a concealed cary class and received our license.
I've always had rifles and shotguns and a few pistols. My initial reason for the CCL class was for my wife and our newborn (no he didn't attend the class... not yet anyways) to have some protection if they were ever in a less than desirable situation. I do know that after the class my wife has been more engaged into my "gun hobby".
We are currently looking at a Ruger LCR .38 for her. Our CCL instructor had one and she fell in-love with right then (no not the instructor, the gun). I am still undecided on my carry weapon.
Other weapons in our stable include a S&W 1911, Hi Point JF 9mm (yuck, but it works every time), 300 win-mag (pre '62), and a bunch of 12ga's, 16ga's and 20ga's and you can't forget the .22's .
We both are DIY'ers and look forward to seeing other peoples projects and hopefully displaying some of our own.
Until then....

Ok so a while ago I slid sideways into a curb and hit it pretty square with my front wheel, not sure exactly how fast, but not very fast (it was icy and yes I had snow tires).
It makes a pretty loud bang. So I get out, everything looks fine so I drive somewhere and park
There is a small section missing from the aluminum rim. Tire has a tiny scuff.
Car drives OK, some minor vibration - I get to the wheel shop, they tell me the wheel is toast. I get a new wheel, same tire mounted and balanced and swapped to the back. They go as far as to tell me I should drive around for a bit and see if I even think I need an alignment.
Well I get an alignment anyway, toe is out, cross camber is out - the wheel that hit actually had a little more negative camber than the other side.. OK fine.. They notice nothing else wrong. Get the alignment fixed - everything within spec.
Vibration is improved.
anyway after a while a notice some whirring noise from the affected side - go to mechanic - can't convince them anything is wrong. Drive around more, whirring gets louder - manage to convince them it is a wheel bearing which is replaced.
The whirring is resolved. Get another alignment.
I then started to notice notice some very subtle intermittent vibration in the steering wheel - usually at low speeds going straight. If I speed up the vibration goes away, which I find odd. It seems to be very inconsistent - I only notice it around 5% or less of the time (and believe me I am looking for it)
I change wheels and tires to a completely different balanced set - no improvement.
So, the tie rods look dead straight, what do you think I could be dealing with? subtly bent tie rod, Susp crossmember, Lower control arm, knuckle, psychosomatic?
If alignment is in spec, it must be some sort of dynamic problem? what could be causing vibration intermittently?
I am have been to two different mechanics and will try another one soon, but would appreciate any thoughts...

I Had my procedure done by Dr.Newall in 2008 . I had lipo on my upper and lower abdomen as well as arms and lower back. The results at the time were a bit disappointing.

Homeowners reject frills like media rooms: study
By Nick Zieminski
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Home theaters are passe. Home offices are in.
The long U.S. housing downturn has led homeowners to scale back both the size of houses and the amenities found within them, but consumers are still willing to invest in energy efficiency, according to a quarterly survey by an architects' trade group.
The survey by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) found budget-conscious Americans are less interested in having hobby or game rooms, media rooms, home workshops, or suites for au pairs or in-laws. Exercise rooms and additional laundry space are also less popular than a year ago, as are three-car garages, the AIA said on Tuesday.
The shift in tastes reflects worries about home values, tighter family budgets, and the threat of unemployment.
"Affordability is a big concern," said AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker. "Homeowners are not looking to spend more on their home for frills, particularly if they don't think they can recapture that when they sell it."
Home offices are the most popular special-function room, the survey found. Almost 46 percent of architects said home offices are gaining in popularity, up about 5 percentage points from a year earlier.
The increase is due to the appeal of telecommuting and the growing number of Americans who are self-employed or who run small businesses that have had to give up office space.
Meanwhile, more consumers are asking architects to make sure their homes are energy-efficient. Two-thirds of architects said clients increasingly demand better insulation to lower heating and cooling costs. More are also requesting double- and triple-glazed windows, water-saving devices and solar panels. Continued...

This whole fiasco of the Government shutdown, borrowing $4.00 of every $5.00 the Government spends is just so ridiculous. I remember having a talk with my Dad when I was in my early 20's about welfare. I was out of work, had a child, needed to get away from my husband and was considering applying for welfare to help me.
My Dad, whom I respected so much talked to me about getting something for nothing. His words are still so clear today and I see them manifested in how our citizens are acting.
He quoted me "Give a man a fish, feed for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed for a lifetime." and then began to give me his philosophy of this.
He believed that we as a nation should take care of each other, but not by providing handouts. He believed that handouts were just giving people a fish, chaining him to a system of handouts, thus taking away all his freedoms. He believed that we should provide a way for those in hardship to pull themselves up and to have some pride and dignity that they could support themselves and their families.
He believed that we should provide work to people, any kind of work. He did not believe that anyone was totally unable to work unless they were seriously injured or sick. Work could be anything from reading a book to kids, the ill. It could be taking care of someone's loved one or children while they worked, but he believed that each and every person had something they could do.
That belief spawned an interesting concept when it came to handing out the welfare benefits. This is not the typical workfare program, but a well monitored and administered program that would work in any city, regardless of size. It works like this.
Anyone can get benefits. All they need to do is apply. Here is how they earn their benefits. Each morning Monday – Friday, they must check into the benefits office. The benefits office is just a plain office, no TV, only a water fountain, with a restroom and chairs, ok, you can add a clock on the wall. Each person entering must punch in by 8am and they cannot leave before 5pm. They can take a 15 min break in the morning, have an hour to eat lunch and another 15 minute break in the afternoon. There is no talking, no fighting, no falling asleep, no kids, no eating, no reading. This is the "job" they must do to earn their benefits.
If someone wants to work, they have the opportunity to work in the child care facility that is on-site, or they can go clean streets, wash windows, rehab old houses, etc. There is plenty of community projects that can be done. People can read to older adults in the hospital, put food baskets together, etc., the amount of jobs is just endless that someone could do. And even if someone was disabled, they would still have to show up and if they wanted they could work.
If someone does not choose to work or show up at the benefits office, they do not qualify for benefits and will not be paid. If they miss a day, they don't get paid. Just like anyone else who works.
If the US instituted something like this, I guarantee that there would not be such a big push for benefits. It's not that we should not help people, but it's all about HOW we help them.
Does it benefit anyone that someone sits on their couch watching TV, doing nothing while others work away to pay for that. There is no self-respect for the person receiving benefits and the people that are working to pay those to sit at home find resentment building.
This is exactly what is happening here in the US. Needless to say, after talking with my Dad, I didn't go on welfare, I sucked it up, and found a way to make things better for me & my son. Yes, it took me a few years to get out of a bad marriage, but I never once lost my self-respect and I was and still am a productive member of society.

Display Ad Builder goes global, and more updates
May 11th, 2009 | Published in Google Adwords
Since launching the AdWords Display Ad Builder, we've been pretty busy. Today, we'd like to give you a summary of what we've done so far, an update on the latest features and what's coming soon.
What we've done so far:
- Global availability: We've made Display Ad Builder templates available in over 40 languages and over 100 countries worldwide, with more languages coming soon.
- Templates for everyone: Currently, more than 90 customizable templates are available, many of which we've announced on this blog, with designs for local holidays and seasons around the world, specific industries and fully customizable "all-purpose" templates. We've also launched several text-only templates, a popular option with advertisers who don't have ready images to use in their display ads.
Recent updates:
- Availability in the new AdWords interface: We've begun to make the Display Ad Builder available to a small number of users in the new AdWords interface, and we'll let you know when it becomes available to everyone. If you're using the new AdWords interface, you'll find that the Display Ad Builder is now easier to use. You can also access the tool with fewer clicks - simply choose "Display ad builder" from the Ads tab to get started.
- Font selection: You can now select different fonts for each of your lines of text. Also, if you're advertising in a language that requires a specific font, we'll automatically identify a font that works for you based on the characters you type. As a result, you're more likely to build ads that meet your brand guidelines, making them more impactful and effective.
What's coming?
- More templates: We're working on many more customizable templates, ranging from general all-purpose templates to those for specific seasons and industries. Also look for new rich media and video-based templates in the coming months.
- Changes to Video Ads: The Click-to-Play video ad template that we launched several weeks ago will soon become the default interface for creating these ads in AdWords. We'll phase out the existing interface, currently accessed by clicking 'Video Ads" as an ad format option. Existing users of Click-to-Play video ads will be individually notified and we'll also update our Help Center to reflect changes in reporting for these ads, such as the fact that play rate will now be captured by the "Interaction Rate" stat for video ads.
To get started with the Display Ad Builder, choose it as an ad format option within your AdWords campaigns. To learn more, please watch our playlist of videos.

Federal currency rebounds in the markets
The dollar climbed in the markets versus major currencies as a result of worries that the lower lending that will happen by banks in China will lead to stagger economic growth in the world's third-largest nation. The U.S. economy released its consumer confidence showing that it was worse than expectations and a slight rise from the previous reading. The Dollar Index, which usually measures strength of the dollar versus six major currencies, is currently traded at 77.24 while recording a high of 77.27 and a low of 76.74.
Although the euro zone released its CPI showing that the general price level is rising and that this meant that deflation risks are heavily easing, still we see that the euro is depreciating versus the dollar as a result of the widened budget deficit in Greece, hurting investors confidence towards buying the euro. The EUR/USD is currently traded at 1.4365 between the support of 1.4315 and the resistance of 1.4435 while recording a high of 1.4511 and a low of 1.4359. On the one-hour charts we see the momentum indicators are showing us that the pair is being traded close to an oversold area.
The pound like the euro is losing grounds versus the dollar, as the dollar after declining lately in the markets for the past couple of days, is now rebounding while the GBP/USD is currently trading at 1.6275 recording a high of 1.6355 and a low of 1.6262. Also, here on the one-hour charts, we see that the pair is traded by an oversold area. For the pair we see that there is a support at 1.6240 and a resistance at 1.6345. The moving average indicator, which is known as a lagging indicator, provided us with a downwards trend.
As investors are currently buying lower yielding assets since they remain worried about global economy, boosts the yen in the markets against the federal currency. The USD/JPY is being traded at 90.87 between the support of 90.35 and the resistance of 97.25 while recording a high of 91.31 and a low of 90.59.

Lacie Heart is a beautiful, naturally sexy California blonde dancer who became a Vivid Girl at the age of 19 in 2006.
Lacie Heart is a native of San Francisco and grew up in Santa Barbara, where as a child she studied ballet. As she grew older she played soccer and was her high school senior class president. While attending college she started dancing in a gentlemen's club, which led to modeling and acting in an adult film in 2005. Within a few months, she began getting offers from major adult studios, eventually choosing Vivid because she admires several of the Vivid Girls and wanted to act with them.
Lacie Heart's highly popular Vivid titles include: "Debbie Does Dallas Again," "Sunny and Cher," "Sunny Experiment," "Lacie's Life," "Switched," "Blue Collar," and "Blue Light Project." Lacie Heart has received 2 AVN Award nominations including one for Best New Starlet and another for Best Oral Sex Scene in the Vivid thriller, "Roughed Up." Lacie Heart also appeared in the Showtime documentary chronicling the making of Debbie Does Dallas Again, where she showed off her gorgeous body and talents for sexy behind-the-scenes footage.
Lacie Heart has loved horses and dogs since she was a young girl and has owned a small ranch in Southern California, where she raises Arabian horses and Siberian Huskie dogs. Currently, Heart lives in Arizona and commutes to Los Angeles to film. She has stated that she plans to continue making adult films while she goes to school, then become a museum curator afterward.

In 2003 alone, three states instituted rules that say lawyers must disclose whether they have malpractice insurance, joining six others that already had such rules. The movement toward disclosure seems to be picking up steam, but it's not without its critics. This article looks at the ongoing debate in many states and the actions taken in others—read it to find out what's going on in a state near you!
Perfect for ABA Day in Washington or any day your bar needs to reach out to federal or state legislators, this primer will get you ready to "make your case." With a little preparation and training, you can make sure your bar's message is clearly heard by the decision makers in Washington or in your state capital.
It's Executive Director Allan Head's 30th anniversary with the North Carolina Bar Association, but the gifts are for you! Head, who is also chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Bar Activities and Services, shares 60 great lessons he's picked up along the way. A sample: Surround yourself with positive people.
