Roy would be ideal Canadiens GM, but would he take job?
The reason why the Montreal Canadiens would want Patrick Roy as the team's next general manager might be the same reason he wouldn't take the job.

Roy's lure is his presence, passion, swagger, intensity and turbo-boosted inner drive.
In Quebec, Roy is St. Patrick and tales of his exploits are known throughout the kingdom. He won his first Stanley Cup in 1986 in Montreal when he was barely out of his teens. During the Habs' march to the title under Jacques Demers in 1993, it was Roy who announced to his teammates that they only needed to score two goals because he would not give up more than one goal.
Roy's cockiness was a weapon, as important to a team as a 40-goal scorer or a puck-moving defenseman. Older hockey fans remember the wink to Los Angeles Kings forward Tomas Sandstrom in front of the Montreal net after Roy had robbed Luc Robitaille during the 1993 Stanley Cup Final.
His wit has always been as quick as glove, evidenced by the time that he said he couldn't hear Jeremy Roenick's trashing talking because "I've got two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears."
There were another two Stanley Cups earned in Colorado, where his legend as a leader and teammate grew. There was the time that coach Bob Hartley was lambasting a young Chris Drury, using him as a scapegoat. Roy didn't like it, and legend has it that he rose during Hartley's explosion and told the coach that if he was unhappy with how the Avalanche were playing, he shouldn't be yelling at a younger player. Roy told Hartley that he should have the courage to yell at him first. Only Roy didn't say it that politely. It was a moment that teammates didn't forget.
Roy had many such moments, and all of his best moments were about directly impacting what occurred on the ice.
That's why the read on Roy right now would be that he is more fascinated with idea of being an NHL coach than a general manager. The stories we hear about Roy's position as an owner, GM and coach of the Quebec Remparts are about how much enthusiasm he has for being behind the bench. I was told recently that Roy treats games in October as if they are playoff games. He's a fiery presence behind the bench.
Given Roy's healthy ego, he might like to be both GM and coach of an NHL team. But it has been well-established that it is nearly impossible to do both jobs effectively in the modern NHL.
Certainly, there are other factors that will influence Roy's thinking about the Montreal job. Bob Gainey was Roy's first roommate in Montreal, and they remain friends. Roy knows the Montreal GM job wasn't kind to Gainey.
Plus, Roy already knows he's a hero in Montreal. He's St. Patrick. He has already helped Montreal win two Stanley Cups.
Undoubtedly, he would be intrigued by the idea of waiting until Quebec returns to the NHL. It is easy to see him madly driven by the idea of winning a Stanley Cup for that city.
But it's not an absolute lock that Quebec is going to be the destination of the Phoenix Coyotes if no one steps forward to own the team in the desert. It feels as if the NHL wants to go back there, but we don't know when.
Roy will have to weigh those factors, because it seems fairly obvious that he is the favorite to offered the GM job. Why wouldn't he be?
When he played, he seemed like a coach or GM in waiting. He pored over statistics like they were holy scriptures. His focus was panoramic. He saw everything that happened around him.
Avalanche broadcaster Peter McNab said during Roy's playing days, "The popcorn guy could drop a bag in the second period and Patrick will have seen it."
The danger of projecting what someone might do based on their personality and history is that it does not take account the powers of persuasion and money.
Early in the Tampa Bay Lightning's effort to land Steve Yzerman two years ago, the prevailing sentiment around the league is that he wouldn't take the job. He was the hockey world's hottest GM candidate, and the thought was he would wait until he had a better opportunity. His friends and colleagues didn't believe he would go to a team where filling the building would always be challenging.
But new Tampa Bay owner Jeff Vinik persuaded Yzerman to take the job. Perhaps it could happen in Montreal.
Maybe Canadiens owner Geoff Molson will create an innovative management structure that would allow Roy to coach and be in control at the same time without the burden of GM duties. Maybe Serge Savard could stay around awhile, and another GM candidate be brought in to serve as an administrator and then Roy get veto power on personnel. My guess is there is no chance to hire Roy without thinking outside the box.
If Roy can't be persuaded, the race becomes wide open. But don't be surprised if NBC broadcaster Pierre McGuire emerges as the leading candidate.
McGuire's passion for hockey rivals that of Roy. No one loves the sport more than McGuire, and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the game's players and systems.
Before you dismiss the idea of a broadcaster moving into the GM chair don't forget that Dale Tallon was an analyst before he started to build the Chicago Blackhawks into a winner. Likewise, John Davidson was a television analyst before he became president of the St. Louis Blues and launched the process to make them competitive.
The only negative for McGuire is that he has ticked off some folks around hockey because his current job is to critique the job performances of players and coaches. But McGuire still has powerful allies around the league.
The Canadiens need a face and vibrant voice befitting their status as the league's most storied franchise. That's why Roy is the favorite, and why McGuire has a real shot, at being the next GM.

In the debate, Romney exhibited competence and obviously solid coaching, while Gingrich raised the bar by showing an ability to apply succinct strategic frameworks to the issues. Wolf Blitzer was a prepared, brisk moderator who kept the debate focused on the candidates and not himself. AEI and Heritage had mostly sensible questions that highlighted their stable of analysts too much. There was not one question about Russia or the possible breakup of the EU.

Quote of the Week
"Incog, you are exactly right. You have one of the most attacked sites on the internet, and by far the heaviest attacked site that I am involved with. Even sites such as the KKK don't get attacked this heavily. You speak a truth the Jews and anti-whites can't stomach, and wail and gnash their teeth in frustration.
Thanks to your continually poking the degenerates, I have also been able to compile a list of Israeli government IPs that have attempted to hack or DDOS the server via incogman, which has helped block them across all servers and protect many other pro-white sites.
Rarely do I have to suspend a site, and really, only a couple for a very short time…none in the last year, until you thoroughly upset the untermensch this past week…
Keep doing what you are doing, and I'll keep doing what I'm doing, it's having an effect, and I'm sure it's caused a few heart attacks."

/// Aereo Says We're a Technological Step Not a Rube Goldberg Device
In a legal brief, Aereo has asked the Supreme Court to reject broadcasters' arguments that its antenna-based Internet streaming service is "a sort of Rube Goldberg device" and just "a clever way to take advantage of existing laws." The 100-page brief, filed just a few hours before the court's midnight deadline, will form the foundation for Aereo's defense of its system before the Supreme Court on April 22 . Responding to broadcasters' arguments that Aereo is trying to circumvent the copyright law, Aereo responded by positioning its service as the next "technological step" like color TV, Betamax, and the DVR. Its recordings of broadcasters' free, over-the-air signals do not violate copyright law because they

Yep,, another damn puppy and he is always underfoot except when he is in Mom's lap. So my territory has been invaded again. It's a good thing I am so good natured. But I'll guarantee you one thing, I WILL NOT SHARE MY DAD!!!
Till next time guys...
I'm so happy that it is starting to warm up again, I got my coat back so I'm looking like the handsome Aussie that I am. Dad said he would start taking me to the place where I get to play on the toys. I call them toys buy dad says there obstatcles. It's those things I run and jump on when we train for the agility trials. Dad thinks that I'm good enough to start competing, look out I'm going to be king of the world because I'm going to make my daddy proud. I also hope that I get to do the flyball this year, I love to chase the tennis ball but last year there weren't any spots on the team so I had to be an alternate so I didn't get to play so much. Well gotta go it's time to check out the neighborhood and Porters waiting on me, he's my best friend from down the block, were going to the park and play ball. Later guys, till next time dad lets me use the computer.....
Well Dad took me to the barber shop and now I look like a damn red healer. Oh well, I'll have my coat back by winter so for the mean time I am cooler and everyone thinks I look like a puppy again, so I'll live with it.

YellowJacket Basketball: Fear the Sting!
It has been an exciting year: You'll want to see this video of the Jackets behind by 12 with less than 2 minutes to play coming back to defeat Mississippi College here in Longview.
The Jackets are 8-5 in the ASC, sitting in second place, just one game behind University of Texas at Tyler, who sits at the top of the ASC East.
LeTourneau travels to Mississippi College and Louisiana College on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.
If they win those games, it will set up a showdown between the UT Tyler Patriots and LETU YellowJackets in Solheim Arena at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 7.
I served as a dean and vice president at UT Tyler for seven years. Our athletics director Terri Deike was UT Tyler's first women's basketball coach. I know I can speak for Terri when I write that defeating UT Tyler is especially sweet!
If the Jackets win that game and go on to win the ASC East this season, then LETU would host the 2013 American Southwest Conference Tournament at Solheim Arena from Thursday, Feb. 22, to Saturday, Feb. 24, marking the first time in school history that the Jackets would have won a division and hosted a tournament.
I want to encourage you to put the Thursday, Feb. 7, game on your calendars and come cheer for the YellowJackets. It promises to be a great game.
If you want more information about the team, you can go to www.letuathletics.com or visit our live stream of the home games at www.letuathletics.tv.

Drayton McLane: Investing in Education
There are three associations of college presidents in Texas, and each year since 1977, the Council of Public University Presidents and Chancellors (CPUPC), the Independent Colleges and Universities in Texas (ICUT) and the Texas Association of Community Colleges (TACC) have all partnered together to present the prestigious Mirabeau B. Lamar Award for outstanding service to higher education in Texas.
Past winners include former Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, businessman Red McCombs, the Exxon Foundation and the Welch Foundation.
This year I was honored to be asked to serve on the selection committee for this award.
Yesterday, in Austin, I was present for the ceremony honoring the 2013 recipient: Drayton McLane, Jr. of Temple, Texas.
McLane is chairman of the McLane Group holding company, founded in 1992, and is the CEO of McLane Advanced Technologies, a global logistics and technology solutions company he founded in 2004.
McLane, 76, grew up working in his father's grocery business that had been established by his grandfather in 1894. Earning his undergraduate degree in 1958 from Baylor University and an MBA in marketing at Michigan State in 1959, McLane became president and CEO of the family business in 1978, assuming the chairmanship in 1992. The grocery distribution network evolved into a computer-based technology business for McLane, who sold the grocery business to Sam Walton in 1990. As a baseball fan, I know McLane best as chairman and CEO of the Houston Astros from 1993 to 2011.
A philanthropist with both his money and his time, McLane has served in leadership roles on the boards of several heath care and educational institutions. He is a major benefactor to both Baylor University and the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor. He has served as chairman of the Board of Regents at Baylor University, where the McLane Student Life Center and McLane carillons are named in his honor. He is currently a trustee for the Baylor College of Medicine. At UMHB, McLane Hall is named in his honor, and he sponsors the McLane Lectures, featuring notable speakers such as former President and first lady George H.W. and Barbara Bush.
McLane told the assembled college and university presidents yesterday in Austin that philanthropy has been a great joy, and that there is no greater return on investment than investing in the education of our young people.
I have seen this same joy in many of our LETU friends who understand that we have been blessed so that we may bless others.

Developing Longview's "Front Door"
My leadership role at the Longview Chamber of Commerce ends tonight with the annual Chamber Banquet. Over 600 will gather at Maude Cobb to celebrate Longview's business community. It has been impressive to watch how well the Longview economy has survived the Great Recession which began in 2008.
Unemployment here never reached the levels found nationally and, while growth in Longview did slow, we are one of few places with recent growth in both population and income.
Longview has also built an exceptional Chamber of Commerce with more than 1,000 business members. The Chamber is one of a very few to be recognized with "Five Star Accreditation" by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Last year, Longview's Chamber was runner-up for the national "Chamber of the Year" award.
|With Kelly Hall, president of the Longview Chamber of Commerce
Economic development of South Longview will happen only as the result of private-public partnerships. The city government can take action to encourage and protect the investment of private developers who will see the heavily traveled I-20 as an opportunity. In fact, just the appointment of the task force is a huge step forward in saying to private developers, "We want to help you bring economic growth and beautification to South Longview."
I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I can certainly see the opportunity and sense the urgency for Longview to act. And I appreciate LeTourneau University having a voice in the process. After all, we are "Longview's University."

Within His Reach
I've earned three college degrees. I've been called to education as my life's work. Call me old-fashioned, but I admire a well-crafted lecture or a complex concept thoughtfully laid out in an essay. I love "Jesus the teacher." This is the Jesus as a boy lecturing in the synagogue. This is the Jesus they called rabbi, who tutored one-on-one and also masterfully taught thousand with parables. Sitting at the feet of the great teacher is one of life's great joys given by the holy Scriptures.
But as I said in our first Chapel on Wednesday (view here), Jesus came to save, not only teach. And he came to save not just the religious good guys but detestable sinners and society's bad guys. Jesus came to save the kind of people we most don't want to associate with. We see them as "evil" or "sinful" or just plain "stinkers" who we don't want in our nation, our family or even on our campus.
Mark 5 is a good example of Jesus reaching out to heal the most unclean person imaginable in his world: a violent, nude, demon-possessed man living among the dead in a cemetery (and next to a herd of pigs). Jesus the teacher would not show up at this cemetery, but Jesus the savior came for just such a venue. Jesus the teacher might have lectured the wayward man, but Jesus the savior healed him and commissioned him to go and tell others how God had been merciful to him.
I'll be honest: the demon-possessed man of Mark 5 is just an extreme example of me. I have not been entered by demons, but I have allowed the evil one to invade my life through past sins, emotional traumas, and my choice to withhold forgiveness from those who have hurt me. I need a savior, and Jesus is that to me.
Is anyone beyond the reach of Jesus the savior? The pitiful creature in Mark 5 was within his reach. The pitiful creature that is Dale Lunsford was within his reach. You are within his reach. In word and deed, let's testify of God's mercy to everyone who will seek him. Let's avoid the temptation to judge those we find "sinful" as beyond the reach of his saving grace.

[VIDEO PICK: Off the Post] Summer soccer in the USA means big clubs from around the world visit for preseason training and exhibition games -- and celebrity visits to their practices. In this case, it's seven-time NBA all-star Carmelo Anthony kicking and heading the ball at Real Madrid's training on the UCLA campus.
The 6-foot-8
Anthony arrived his friend and basketball colleague Dontaye Draper, who played for Real Madrid's hoops team, and his 7-year-old son, Kiyan, who also gets to
kick around.
Anthony, after some ungraceful displays with the ball, joins a team photo and reveals his favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo, who's still on vacation.

The shortened 2013 season has not been too kind to the Philadelphia Flyers so far. They started their season as a sure thing for the playoffs. Instead, the Flyers find themselves two points outside the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.
And two points isn't a bad thing just yet. Look at the LA Kings last year, they got hot at the right time, squeezed into the playoffs and dominated everyone. This Philadelphia Flyers team has the talent to match that.
But they are struggling early on, and against teams they should be gaining two points against.
Offense in particular has been a major trouble spot. Philadelphia has only scored 37 goals on the season. Of course, the team hasn't been helped by giving up 45 goals at the other end of the ice. Ilya Bryzgalov has played much better than last season, but it's no where near what he can do in between the pipes.
It's been a mess at times for the Flyers. Making a trade to reinvigorate the team might be a strategy for some, but that doesn't look to be the plan for general manager Paul Holmgren.
GM Paul Holmgren already blew the team up in the 2011 off-season when he traded captain Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. And the season before that he traded Simon Gagne. And although these guys went onto win the Stanley Cup else where I can't see Holmgren blowing this Flyers team up again just to have karma bite him back in the rear end.
On top of this the Flyers are missing two big contributors right now, Scott Hartnell and Andrej Meszaros. Believe it or not these guys are BIG contributors to this team and are dearly missed. Hartnell should be coming back shorty and should get captain Claude Giroux going. And if they can get Meszaros back before it's too late the Flyers could make a run at the playoffs and not just a semi finals appearance.
So if you're a Flyers fan (like me) just hang in there and anything can happen. Don't start demanding trades just because nothing is clicking right now, nothing clicked for the LA Kings last season until a few weeks before the playoffs. I'm still leaning on they get red hot at the right time and become the 2012 LA Kings.

A member of the exclusive Ron Jaworski Golf Signature portfolio, Valleybrook Country Club lives up to the legendary status of its namesake with Best of South Jersey awards in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2011, as determined by readers of the Courier-Post. The club's 18-hole course earns its accolades with tough but rewarding challenges, presenting a hybrid of flat and hilly terrain that keeps players mindful of elevation as they line up approaches or somersault down hillsides in pursuit of runaway balls. Complicating matters are tight fairways and water hazards that come into play at nine points throughout the round. While golfers deliberate over club choice, they can assuage their nerves with visions of steamed mussels, burgers, and pizzas awaiting them at Riley's Pub for post-round devouring.

Since I began to blog, I've certainly looked at the world a little differently. I am constantly looking for new projects and inspiration.
Last week, I was so excited to have a baby sitter and share a great evening out with my husband. He was being honored for being selected to appear in OC Metro Magazine in an article, 40 Under 40. The magazine annually selects 40 business professionals under the age of 40 who are over achievers in their fields.
The event took place at the Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Coast. I have lived in Orange County 17 years, almost as long as my hometown and I have never been to this resort. Once we arrived, I was so preoccupied with my high heels that hurt (I hadn't worn heals in ages), my pencil skirt that would only allow me to take small strides, and my thoughts of wishing I brought a jacket because it was cold and windy (California cold). The concierge led us down the stairs and onto a brick path. Lifting up my skirt, while complaining to my husband that he was walking too fast for my tight skirt, I looked up to see a breathtaking sight.
It was about 5:45pm and the sun casted a gorgeous ray of light onto the palm trees, lush green grounds, and blue ocean. I had to stop and take it in. I couldn't help but have my blog in the back of my mind… this is a view that I have to share. I hope you find inspiration in these pictures…somehow.
P.S. Happy birthday, my love! I'm so proud of you and honored to be your wife.

Was going to order a 2014, but my local dealer cut me a smoking deal on a 2013 STi 5 door! Went to look today and was going to wait until I sold my 2011 Mustang GT, but the trade they offered me plus the sales tax credit worked out to what I was going to sell the car for on my own, so I went for it! Originally wanted SWP, but alas my choices were Plasma Blue, or silver metallic from in stock inventory, so I took the silver. Factory short throw, rear tray, cargo net and rear bumper protector at a great price! Bought it at ****Hannah here in Vancouver, WA and had a great, easy in and out deal.
I've wanted one of these cars for years since the old bug-eye models and finally decided it was time.

Mayhem # 2661528
About MeBold Belle is, as of now, an aspiring one woman show. My number one passion (and hopefully becomes a career) is this, my photography. The genres I take most interest in is glamour, pin-up, and fashion. I would like to dabble in other fields as I don't want to restrict myself but that is genre I'll mainly be concentrating on.
My goal is to make striking, fun, and beautiful images. I take a lot of inspiration from different things. Gothic, Retro, Victorian, and more are some of my favorite things to photograph.
Plans are to hone my photography skills as well my sewing, cosmetic, and styling skill as well. Which hence the one woman show. Though I'm not at all against working with others, obviously. It's too much fun to not work with someone to make something awesome.
I'm very open-minded. So you can talk to me about anything. I won't pass up any idea without giving it a thought.
I hope I'll get to make something amazing with many people, as I'm looking to make many connections.
Side Note: I am a transgender woman, just so you know ahead of time.

Rosales Shoots a 66 at NCAA Women's Golf Championships
May 21, 1998
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - USC freshman Jennifer Rosales shot a 6-under-par 66 in today's second round of the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships at the University Ridge Golf Course in Madison, Wis., putting her in second-place at the midway point of the 72-hole tournament. Rosales, who shot a 68 in yesterday's first round, has a 36-hole total of 10-under-par 134 and is currently four strokes behind Grace Park of Arizona State (130), who shot a 65 in each of the first two rounds. Rosales' 66 establishes a new all-time USC record for lowest single round (previously held by Terri Thompson, who shot a 67 at the 1988 Desert Classic).
The No. 9-ranked USC team is currently in sixth-place at 590. Arizona State leads the tournament at 565, followed by Arizona (578) and Florida (581).
Rosales, the 1996 Junior World Champion, has made a dramatic impact on the Women of Troy squad since enrolling at USC in January. After five spring tournaments, she went into the NCAA Championships with the team's lowest stroke average and was USC's top finisher at the recent Pacific-10 Conference Championships (222, seventh). A native of Manila in the Philippines, Rosales is currently ranked at No. 50 in the MasterCard Collegiate Rankings.

One of my favorite songs from the musical "Cats" is the one about how cats contemplate their secret name, known only to them and not shared with their pet humans. I like to think that Legato shared that name with my sister who encouraged me to adopt him in 2004, although for no known reason he never seemed to like her after that first day. I had been struggling to decide on a name for him, knowing only that the name his rescue group gave him, "Snoball," was definitely not the right one for him.
When, about two weeks after adopting him, I told my sister how this still-nameless cat loved to sit on my lap and purr, she suggested "Legato," which she explained is an Italian word used by classical musical composers to indicate a "calm and peaceful interlude," and also sounds like the Spanish, "el Gato," which means "cat." So, "Snoball" became Legato L. Gato - the calm and peaceful singing cat.
I can't help but think that "Legato" was his secret name, the one usually cats reserve for themselves, and that for whatever reason, he loved us enough to honor us by sharing it with us. (Of 203,875 cats on Catster right now, he's the only one with that name.) Maybe he knew that no matter how many miles he traveled with me (300 miles, 3 times a month, for 2 years, then 110 miles, 3 times a month, for 3 years, plus one business trip - all by car), he had his forever home the day I took him home for the first time.
I spoke with the vet yesterday morning, and both vets in the practice felt that only the IV fluids were keeping Legato alive. When I went to visit him, I agreed. Both vets felt that the only possible options were either a bone marrow aspiration, which would not have shown anything which could be treated and which would have been horribly painful for Legato, or putting him to sleep.
At my request, since I knew I would not be able to drive home safely after Legato died, they agreed to keep him comfortable until October 29th, but Dad was able to come out and go with me back to the vet's.
Legato was put to sleep on the afternoon of October 28, 2009, because of a blood disorder. The vets were able to regulate his sugar, but he was showing no sign of improvement and no interest in his environment. The vet used the term "blood dysplasia."
Now, I go between completely numb and knife-like sadness, but I know I did everything I could, and I know I did the right thing by letting Legato go.
Legato's song is silent now.
Two emergency calls to the vet yesterday (Oct. 25th) convinced me not to have Legato put to sleep. She said he might be more comfortable if I held food and water for several hours, then reintroduced it slowly. I did, and he's walking more, but definitely not steadily.
Legato woke me at 4:50am when he was vomiting again - he makes this horrible meow when he does - but has seemed mostly comfortable since then. He's been able to keep down liquids, and after I gave him two small amounts of water about 40 minutes apart, began drinking on his own.
The vet called this morning - she's waiting on the lab results. She said yesterday that she's hoping that the 8% "unidentified cells" in his blood count will be something treatable.
Legato's figured out that I will carry him if he feels too tired to walk. He has a different meow from the vomiting one, and usually walks as far as he feels like, then points his head in the direction he wants me to take him.
For now, I guess, it's back to more waiting.
The vet called back and we think Legato may have an ulcer in his stomach. He's resting comfortably, and I'm cooking chicken and rice for him. He only vomited once today, so I'm still hoping we can get through until tomorrow afternoon.

Segovia: Phillip de Fremery's New Transcriptions Preserve
the Maestro's Legacy
Week at MHC
Hans J. Massaquoi
When MHC guitar instructor
Phillip de Fremery played Mussorgsky's "The Old Castle"
for renowned classical guitarist Andrés Segovia in 1966,
he flattered his teacher by the purest form of imitation. The
young guitarist had written the piece down, complete with the
maestro's fingerings, by listening to it on Decca's Golden
Jubilee, Segovia's landmark three-record set released in honor
of the fiftieth anniversary of his first concert. "Where
did you get that?" asked Segovia, surprised and pleased.
Almost thirty years later, Segovia's widow, Emilia Segovia, the
Marquesa de Salobreña, remembered de Fremery's skill and
commissioned him to listen to and create manuscripts of fifty-six
of Segovia's recordings, from Bach to Mendelssohn. The result
of de Fremery's five-year labor, Andrés Segovia, Transcripciones,
was released in four languages in November by publisher Edizioni
Musicali Bèrben, Ancona, Italy. Since they are taken directly
from recordings, the pieces form the first worldwide publication
of Segovia's actual performance editions.
Drawn from all periods
of Segovia's recording career, the transcriptions represent "the
vast panorama of one of the world's most illustrious recording
careers," writes de Fremery in the book's foreword, pointing
to specific examples of Segovia's expert judgment in style, phrasing,
and choice of octave, and inviting listeners, teachers, and musicians
to pursue and experience dozens more. He writes, "Those who
through their unconditional love of the guitar do make a practice
of returning to his example will always find themselves energized
with renewed spirit and hope."
Emilia Segovia (center), was impressed by
the musical skill of Phillip de Fremery (left) when he took
guitar master classes with her husband Andrés Segovia
(right) during the 1960s. Three decades later, she commissioned
de Fremery to create manuscripts of fifty-six of Segovias
recordings, now compiled as Andrés Segovia, Transcripciones.
Spanish-born Andrés
Segovia (18931987) is considered by many to be the father
of modern classical guitar. He elevated the instrument to the
concert stage, widely expanded its repertoire, and won many admirers
and students. Among them is de Fremery, who took master classes
with Segovia and earned this praise: "Phillip de Fremery
. . . has shown much love for the guitar and has the good sound.
I am sure that, in time, he will be a fine performing guitarist
of the future, and a credit to the San Francisco Conservatory
of Music, where he received his first training." Upon his
graduation in 1970, de Fremery indeed became well known for his
performances on radio and television and in various recital halls
in the United States and Canada. He began teaching at Mount Holyoke
in 1973.
"Segovia suffered
for the guitar in a way that few of us can now imagine,"
writes de Fremery, describing Segovia's incessant efforts to redefine
tempi, articulation, and key and, despite international acclaim,
to constantly move beyond the trends he himself had invented.
"We may safely say that a great amount of personal anguish
was necessarily borne simply because his beloved instrument was
universally dismissed as being devoid of serious potential,"
he writes. "What is less obvious, yet in truth far more problematic
and demanding, is the comparatively uncharted rigor of his daily
quest for truth in expression; the dues, if you will, that he
could never consider fully paid." The transcriptions, says
de Fremery, yield an opportunity to observe the ever-evolving
Segovia, who refused to adhere to a set of preferences in "paint
by number" fashion. Writes de Fremery, "One of the priceless
blessings of his artistic nature was the firm knowledge that since
he wished to be deeply loved as a performer he was going to have
to earn itday in, year out."
Although Segovia constantly
reworked his performance versions, he saw no practical reason
to write them down. In his introduction to Transcripciones,
Angelo Gilardino, artistic director of the Andrés Segovia
Foundation of Linares, Spain, explains that Segovia published
just a few pieces and committed the majority to memory, not to
paper. "The rift between the original source and the text
as elaborated by him is always quite remarkable, no matter what,"
writes Gilardino. Remarkable, too, is the "truly portentous
musical ear" that allowed de Fremery to take on the "daunting
task of transcribing every single note straight from recordings
which, at times, were far less than crystal-clear." This
painstaking work, says Gilardino, is a major step toward preventing
a sizable part of Segovia's art from vanishing for good.
Classical guitar lovers
may hear de Fremery in solo recital on Sunday, April 7, at 2 pm
as part of the recital series in Springfield's Saint Michael's
Cathedral. The program will concentrate on Spanish music but will
also include "The Old Castle," which now for the first
time is published in Segovia's transcription in the new Bèrben

Animal Welfare Commitment
May 19, 2017
XOXO to Sodexo – For Taking a Stand for Millions of Hens
Today, with Sodexo, we are announcing that the giant food service company has committed, over the next five years, to switch all 20 million pounds of its liquid eggs to cage-free. The company manages dining operations at thousands of colleges, universities, hospitals, and corporate dining centers across the country. Due to its enormous size, this will remove 750,000 hens from battery cages per year and put them into cage-free settings. This announcement comes after prior announcements from the company to switch to cage-free for its 39 million shell eggs – which provides a better living for an additional 150,000 birds.

Podiatry Residency
Our goal is to produce skilled practitioners of podiatric medicine and surgery who can compete in today's marketplace. The program is expanding to three years in anticipation of The American Board of Podiatric Surgery requirements for three years for reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.
The Virtua Health podiatric residency began in 1984 as a 24-month podiatric surgical program at West Jersey Health System. The program provided one slot per year until 1988 at which time a second slot was added. In 1999, the West Jersey Health System merged with Memorial Hospital Burlington County to form Virtua Health.
Virtua Health, with more than 7,000 employees and 1,700 physicians providing services, is the largest healthcare provider in southern New Jersey. It is comprised of four hospitals including Virtua Memorial Hospital Burlington County in Mt. Holly, and Virtua West Jersey Hospitals in Berlin, Marlton and Voorhees.
More than 7,000 babies are born annually at the hospitals in Mt. Holly and Voorhees, where comprehensive neonatal intensive care for premature newborns is available. Pediatric primary and specialty care services are offered as part of the Virtua duPont Children's Health Program, an affiliation with the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children.
With five strategically located emergency centers, it handles more emergencies - and pediatric emergencies - than any other hospital in South Jersey.
Virtua Health also serves the community with comprehensive primary care and emergency and specialty services at its outpatient center in Camden; two long-term comprehensive care centers located in Berlin and Mount Holly; two outpatient surgery centers located in Mt. Holly and Voorhees; and a home-health care agency.

2008 ducati 848 acceleration issue?
Hello, I am new to the forum. I am experiencing some throttle issue with the bike. It doesn't feel like it is accelerating like it use to. Before when I would accelerate the bike would accelerate very tightly, but now it feels a little delayed/ sluggish. I tightened the throttle cable a little and it didn't make a difference. The bike is currently at 12000 kms. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

if you were hard on your clutch for those 12,000kms your clutch may be slipping.
easiest way to check this is put it in 6th and accelerate. if the revs go up faster than your accelerating your clutch is slipping.
if you mean your rpm's aren't climbing the way they use to then it could be a dirty fuel filter or dirty air filter.
Just some things to look into. Some of the more seasoned fellers may have some other places to check

i had that on my hyper. first gear was the only gear that accelled nicely, 2nd on up felt sluggish 1/2 throttle to full throttle. took it in for the 7500 mile service and found the horizontal exhaust valve was too tight. vertical was tight as well, but not as bad. afterwards, the bike feels alot better.
the perfect road of iowa. its a magical 6 turns then miles of straight roads.

Sydney: For the Australian cricketers Ashes seems to be passe at least for now because they get great pleasure in thrashing India.
''I think India is close on being my favourite side to beat.
They've almost taken the number one seed off England in a lot of ways,'' Opener Matthew Hayden told 'Sydney Morning Herald'.
''It's a side that within it's psyche has amazing highs and amazing lows. So it doesn't take long to realise they're at a low when you're standing in front of 70,000 people at a stadium and you can hear a pin drop.'' ''It's a great position to be in and you know you've got them beat,'' he said.
''Our ambition is to keep their crowd as quiet as we possibly can and just play good cricket. It's not a personal thing,'' he added.
He also had a dig at Indians pretending to be aggressive saying that one just can't be aggressive for the sake of it and the Australian retaliated by coming hard on them in the one-day series.
''I think it's one of the greatest misconceptions of this side ever, that it's aggressive. I think what we are, it extends from our culture, is just having a great mateship and camaraderie within any kind of team,'' Hayden said.
McGrath's little piece of advice to Sree?: Meanwile, former bowling great Glenn McGrath has given a piece of advice to Indian seamer Sreesanth that to prove his worth he should back up his aggression with performace adding that it was high time the youngster performed with the ball.
''At the end of the day you've got to be able to back it up. You can talk the talk but if you can't go out there and perform then you're not going to be around for very long,'' McGrath told The Australian.
He was also not convinced that Sreesanth's on-field aggression was natural because ''I've had a chat to him a few times and it doesn't seem to be in his character,'' he said.
''He's trying to be aggressive and it's a little bit unusual,'' Mcgrath said adding, ''You want your fast bowler to be aggressive.
Giving blokes send-offs or sledging when you talk back I don't agree with but that's up to the officials to sort out.'' He had a word of caution for the Indians who will be visiting the Down Under later this saying the visitors should expect enough hostility during the series.
''The Indians really don't like the quicker or bouncier wickets so we'll wait and see what happens. I'm sure they'll come and try to be aggressive but I think no-one does it better than the Australian team.''

The Cardinals with their backs against the wall looking for one or two starters still before next season, are hoping to re-sign the left-hander thinking he'll be able to return by midseason.
"We're still very hopeful," General Manager Jocketty said in a special meeting with reporters at Busch Stadium Wednesday. "I talked to his agent a couple days ago, and I think they're still going through their process. They want to do that before they make their final decision,
"He indicated to me that he still thought this was the best place for him. We certainly feel it's the best place for him."
Mulder, who is 103-57 in his seven-year Major League career, struggled with shoulder problems last season and eventually underwent rotator cuff surgery on his pitching shoulder, is drawing a lot of attention from other teams this offseason.
Mulder visited with Texas Rangers officials Tuesday, touring the stadium and the Dallas area with team owner Tom Hicks and there is a sense that the Rangers may land the former 21 game winner, with some pundits proclaiming a deal with Texas will be announced very soon which is a different message we are getting from the Mulder camp.
"We're not close," said Mulder's agent Gregg Clifton. "We had a great meeting with the Rangers, who really rolled out the red carpet for him . . . but obviously there are other teams that want him, too. Now, it's just about zeroing in on where he wants to go and what he wants to do."
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that Mulder was motivated to return to St. Louis to show Cardinal fans the real Mark Mulder. The manager talk with Mark over the weekend and is expected to call him again today.
Mulder was 88-40 with a 3.65 ERA in 155 starts between 2001-05, tying Bartolo Colon for the most victories by a Major League pitcher in that stretch, but never did live up to expectations in St. Louis after the Cardinals traded pitchers Dan Haren, Kiko Calero and top prospect Daric Barton to Oakland for the coveted pitcher. A deal even at the time, that many Cardinal fans thought St. Louis had given up too much for him.
Today Cardinals fans looking at the rotation and hearing things like manager Tony La Russa indicating he's considering moving relievers Braden Looper, Adam Wainwright and Brad Thompson into the rotation, are hoping St. Louis can get a deal done for Mulder and the sooner the better.
The Diamondbacks, Indians, Mets and Padres have also made inquiries about Mulder in addition to St. Louis and the Rangers.
My take is, it is down to St. Louis and the Texas Rangers, who have the best chance of signing him.
It's been reported that a decision may come Friday from Mark and his agent, but my take is, it's very likely that Mulder won't make a decision for several days.

Bo Xilai story reads like a violent mafia blood feud
Two new books give great insight into the way senior Chinese officials do business and politics in the dynastic corridors of power on the mainland
Related topics
Sex (probably), spies (possibly), fast cars (allegedly), power politics (undoubtedly) and a grisly murder (no question); the Bo Xilai case had it all.
So it's hardly surprising that journalists who covered the story for the international media have been rushing to publish books on the affair.
By the end of last year both Jamil Anderlini, Beijing bureau chief for the Financial Times , and John Garnaut, China correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald, had managed to get accounts into print.
Their books make fascinating reading, not so much for their descriptions of the murder of unfortunate British business man Neil Heywood, which has been well hashed over in the media, but for what they reveal about how senior Chinese officials conduct their business and political affairs.
Inevitably the two books cover much of the same ground. But whereas Anderlini's The Bo Xilai Scandal: Power, Death and Politics in China begins with the poisoning of Heywood - a slightly sad Walter Mitty-like figure - in a shabby Chongqing hotel room, Garnaut accords Heywood only a walk-on part.
Instead, in The Rise and Fall of the House of Bo Garnaut focuses on Bo the politician and princeling, and delves into the backstory of dynastic alliances and rivalries that both shaped his rise within the Communist Party and determined his fall.
The court intrigues he describes are worthy of a medieval baronry, or perhaps a blood feud among powerful mafia families.
For example, he recounts how the Red Guards who arrested Bo's father, vice-premier and former People's Liberation Army commander Bo Yibo, during the Cultural Revolution were geology students from the institute where postgraduate researcher Wen Jiabao "was actively involved in campus politics".
"It is not known whether Premier Wen personally played a role in Bo Yibo's 'struggle' sessions," Garnaut writes. Nevertheless, in the 1980s a rehabilitated Bo Yibo did his best to kill Wen's career, while in turn Wen is credited with blocking the younger Bo's ascent to the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee in 2007.
The insights into officials' business dealings are equally telling. Both authors describe how when Bo was party boss of Dalian his wife bought a giant helium balloon for the city from a British company, insisting on overpaying massively. The idea was that the extra cash - Dalian official funds - would finance their son's fees at an expensive English private school.
Similarly, both authors portray Bo's crackdown on organised crime while running Chongqing as little more than a campaign to seize control of the municipality's most lucrative businesses for his cronies.
And both argue Bo's fall from grace began when his rapaciousness started to threaten the local economic interest of other senior Communist Party power-brokers. It was as much a case as thieves falling out as anything.
Not surprisingly with books rushed into print so quickly both have errors (Garnaut's describes the 94-year-old Bo Yibo as an "ageing worrier"). But don't let that put you off. A few slip-ups don't detract from the valuable insight they give into the inner workings of Chinese politics.
Save your pennies
Monday's column, which noted that "the average Hong Kong family would have to put aside every penny it earned for almost 13 years to save enough to buy a typical flat in the city" was written before Demographia's annual survey of housing affordability was published yesterday morning.
Guess what? Price rises outstripped increases in income last year. As of September last year, a family bringing in Hong Kong's median household income of HK$282,000 a year would have had to save their entire earnings over 13.5 years to buy a flat at the city's median price of HK$3.81 million.
According to Wendell Cox at Demographia that's roughly twice as long as the average family in Singapore would have to save.
By this multiple, Hong Kong is by far the world's most expensive housing market. As the chart shows, prices here easily outstrip those in other major financial centres, including London and New York.
However, families frustrated at not being able to get on to the property ladder can always move to Detroit, where at US$75,700 the typical house is priced at a modest 1.5 years of the median local income.

Turkey legs n dumplins
Boil a pair of wild turkey legs n thighs in a large pot along with 4 or 5 chicken thighs. It will take a few hours for those tough gobbler legs to tender up so you might want to wait a couple of hours to add the chicken thighs. Season liberally with your favorite seasonings. I used black pepper, salt, no salt greek seasoning, 2 bay leaves, ginger, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder. Boil until meat flakes easily from turkey legs. Strain broth and set aside then debone turkey legs and chicken thighs.
Pour broth back into pot and heat to simmer
2 cups flour
3tbs shortening
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup strained broth
Combine flour and salt (I also like to add black pepper)
Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two forks
Add the 3/4 cup of broth and work into a soft dough
flatten dough out on a floured surface then roll out thin
cut into desired sized square with pizza cutter
drop into simmering broth and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered stirring occasionally
add turkey/chicken meat stir well then simmer covered for 10 minutes
Remove from heat and get ready for some fine eating. I think the dumplins have more flavor if allowed to sit for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
Enjoy !!! We sure did.

X5 question
Hi guys...I currently own a 2008 535xi. Thinking about trading in my Murano for an X5. My "issue" is which year of this model to purchase. Where there huge changes in the 2007 and up models? I noticed some interior changes but, mor concerned about mechanical and other issues. Might be a dumb statement...after all it is a BMW.
I like the 2008 models, but I ear that the 2006 models were good as well. I'm also steering away from the 4.0 (8 cylinders). Thanks for any suggestions....
Here's some information below from BIMMER magazines June/2006 issue that had an e53 X5 Buyers Guide...obviously some things have changed since 2006 (like an increase in the availability of tires)...and there is a typo in the model information...the 2004-06 4.4i V8 came with a 6 speed automatic tranny.
If you haven't done so yet...an internet/google search for info about the current e70 X5 should turn up significant information about the 2007-up X5. For instance, if you type "2007 BMW X5 review" into a google search box...you'll get more than enough "results" to answer your questions as to what changes came with the new generation of X5s :)

From the TV 5 Forecast Center:
Partly to mostly sunny skies will prevail for the rest of the day with well above average temperatures as highs top off in the mid-30s to mid-40s from north to south across the state. Skies will turn cloudy tonight as a cold front approaches from the west followed by light precipitation moving especially after midnight. Temperatures will need to be watched tonight for precipitation types. Precipitation will likely fall as freezing rain especially areas from Dover-Foxcroft to Lincoln north and west where temperatures will drop to near or just a little below 32°. Temperatures elsewhere will be a few degrees warmer with lows in the mid to upper 30s so precipitation is expected to be plain rain but with the colder ground we could still see some icy spots so use caution if you have travel plans tonight or early tomorrow.
Icy mix will continue for northern and western areas during the morning then transition to rain by late morning into the afternoon with light rain falling across the rest of the state. Low pressure is forecast to pass just offshore later in the day and may bring some steadier and heavier rain to areas from Bangor south and east. Temperatures will be mild Tuesday with highs in the upper 30s to mid-40s. The rain and mix will taper off Tuesday night and we'll see a little break in the action late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. Another area of low pressure approaching from the west will bring us a chance for a few rain and snow showers later Wednesday, Wednesday night and early Thursday. We'll dry out during the Thursday with brightening skies and temperatures in the 30s in most locales. A disturbance approaching from the west on Friday will bring us a cloudy day but otherwise it looks dry and temperatures in the 30s, should be a decent end to the week.
Rest of Today: partly to mostly sunny. Mild with highs between 37°-47°. Southwest wind 5-10 MPH becoming south.
Tonight: becoming cloudy. Areas of freezing rain developing for areas from Dover-Foxcroft to Lincoln north and west, rain showers developing elsewhere. Lows between 31°-39°. South wind 5-10 MPH.
Tuesday: icy mix changing to rain showers from Dover-Foxcroft to Lincoln points north and west, rain elsewhere. Steadier, heavier rain possible from Bangor through Downeast areas during the afternoon and evening. Mild with highs between 39°-46°. South wind 5-10 MPH.
Wednesday: increasing clouds with a few afternoon rain and snow showers possible. Highs between 37°-43°.
Thursday: mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 20s to mid-30s.
Friday: mostly cloudy with highs near 30° north and 30s elsewhere.

Experts say construction will spur local job creation
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. - The Coachella Valley's economic recovery is still a work in progress according to experts. The experts presented to members of the community at the Third Annual Coachella Valley Economic Forecast Conference. In addition to the national, state, Inland Empire and Coachella Valley forecasts, two panels were held to discuss renewable resources.
The economic forecast for the Coachella Valley doesn't appear bleak, but it's not exactly good news either. "The outlook is better but the signal are not quite there," said Manfred Keil, a professor of economics at Claremont McKenna College.
Keil and other economic experts gave presentations on the state of the valley's economy at the Miramonte Resort in Indian Wells. "For a year there's basically has been no employment growth, there are positive signs in terms of construction," said Keil.
More houses being built means lots more jobs, which means the unemployment rates continues to go down like the rest of Riverside County and the state. "Our industry can recover and if our industry recovers, the Coachella Valley recovers, Riverside county recovers, it's a good thing," said Nathan Miller from the county's Building Industry Association.
While understanding the steady flow of tourism dollars into our economy, the conference also put the spotlight on renewable resources and how our area can capitalize on what's available. "This is a global resource hub: wind, solar, geo-thermal, bio-fuels and we need to take advantage of that," said Tom Flavin, the president and CEO of the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership.
While our valley's economy is still on the rebound, there's still plenty of confidence about the direction its heading, because of the people. "It's got this sense of community and common purpose, which in the end means big things can get done," said Flavin.

The VLCT Employment Resource and Benefits (VERB) Trust contracts with Northeast Delta Dental to help VLCT members provide their employees with either a low-cost, high-value Group benefit administered by the employer, or access to cost-effective Individual Direct plans. Both approaches provide coverage that dovetails with the dental portion of the health insurance plans of Vermont Health Connect (VHC).
Group coverage has six plan options, and orthodontic riders are available. The group chooses to participate on either a fiscal year basis (July 1 through June 30, with Open Enrollment the previous May) or a calendar year basis (January 1 through December 31, with Open Enrollment the previous November). Coverage that can be initiated aside from open enrollment will be effective on the first day of the month after the necessary paperwork is submitted to Northeast Delta Dental.
Individual Direct coverage has five plan options, one of which includes orthodontics. Employees pay monthly premiums directly to Delta Dental, and they can enroll to cover themselves and their spouse or family at any time of year (although rates are adjusted at the start of every calendar year). Find more information under the heading "Individual Direct Coverage" below.
For more information and to sign up for either Group or Individual Direct dental benefits, please call 1-800-649-7915 and speak with Larry Smith, Manager, Member Relations (or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com), or Kelley Avery, Health Benefit Programs Administrator (or email her at email@example.com).

Lots of things are critical to delivering a great customer experience (CX). For instance, do you really understand your customers or simply do a great job of segmenting them? Do you actively encourage employees to provide feedback and recommendations on CX issues? And do you consistently get back to them on actions taken as a result of their feedback?
The truth is, you need to excel at all these practices to deliver exceptional customer experience. But even if you do, it may still not be enough. Ultimately, you'll only excel at CX if you've properly aligned your CX strategy with your overall company strategy.
Forrester recently surveyed 52 Australian and New Zealand businesses, and of those surveyed, 98% believe that their companies are committed to improving CX. But only one-third have a CX strategy that's actually aligned with the overall company strategy. Forrester's clients can access the full report here. That gap, the one between the priorities of the company strategy and the priorities of the CX strategy, is the business equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle; not all ships that enter will find their way out.
Whether you call them consumers, businesses, patients, citizens, or something else entirely, winning, serving, and retaining those customers must be a primary goal. And how can you achieve that goal? Ensure your CX strategy is actually aligned with the organization's strategy. If you are one of the almost 70% of companies that have not aligned their corporate and CX strategies, you are like that ship trying to navigate the Bermuda Triangle on a very dark night, without a compass or charts.
Don't be that company.

Convergences are cool when they happen, and for the past two months, I've been experiencing one around customer experience measurement. Today, I was on the phone with a massive government agency talking about the way it measures customer experience and why it's not working. Next week, I'll have another discussion with a major communications company about rebuilding its customer experience (CX) measurement system from brownfield and will also meet with a leader from a major software company on overhauling customer experience measurement globally. Two weeks ago, I met with the head of digital at a top-five bank about rethinking how to measure the digital customer experience.

In 2014, TeliaSonera International Carrier (TSIC) engaged Forrester Consulting to help assess its activities around customer experience and build a road map for its burgeoning customer experience program. TSIC is an international provider of telecommunication services with headquarters in Stockholm and offices in 14 other countries. It has grown from being the largest IP network in Europe to one of the top two global carriers powered by the Internet backbone, as ranked by Internet performance analysts DYN.
I had a chance to sit down with Simon Dodsworth (SD), VP of voice and mobile; Rickard Bäcklin (RB), VP of brand and marketing; and Linda Bennet-Jansson (LBJ), CX manager, to discuss their relatively young customer experience (CX) program.
What is the mandate for the CX program at TSIC?
RB: It's an important part of a longer journey. Back in 2011, we initiated a bold transformation project within TSIC. To redefine customer demands in the wholesale space, we looked beyond the internal club of network people, focusing on the future end users and the demands they would put on us in the carrier industry.

Customer experience is fundamental to the success of every business. For most companies, in fact, customer experience is the single greatest predictor of whether customers will return — or defect to a competitor.
Customer experience goes to the heart of everything you do: how you conduct your business, how your people behave when they interact with customers and each other, and the value you provide. You literally can't afford to ignore it, because your customers take it personally each and every time they touch your products, your services, and your support.
In our new book, Outside In, my coauthor, Kerry Bodine, and I explore the real meaning of customer experience; prove the business benefits of delivering a great experience; and describe the six disciplines of customer experience leaders like American Express, JetBlue, Office Depot, and Vanguard. Our goal is to help readers understand why and how customer experience leads to profits — which it does, but only if you treat it as a business discipline.
Why is customer experience so important?
"Customer experience" is literally how your customers perceive their interactions with your company.
Those interactions occur at each step along a customer journey. That journey begins when people realize that you offer a product or service they might want, then compare your offer to other options. If things go your way, they'll buy from you. Then they'll use what they bought. If they encounter a problem, they'll call for support.

As I recently celebrated my fifth anniversary as a Forrester analyst, I reflected on how my coverage area has changed. For the past five years I've covered the web content management (WCM) market. This has been a healthy market, and I still get plenty of interest from my clients on this topic.
But the context of that interest has changed markedly, particularly over the past year. When clients used to ask about WCM, they wanted to know about WCM and WCM only. But these days, they ask about WCM in the context of other technologies supporting customer experience, such as commerce, CRM, and analytics. Our clients have reached a logical conclusion: WCM isn't the end-all-be-all for digital experiences but instead is one piece of the customer experience management (CXM) puzzle.
And the market will continue to evolve in 2012. In particular:
Posted by Dan Bieler on the CIOs Blog on December 21, 2011
At its 2011 Analyst Event in Boston, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) outlined more details of its recently announced strategy review. In our view, the new focus NSN is taking is right. NSN is focusing on growth segments of the infrastructure market and will generate large savings from operating expenses and production overheads. In addition to its focus on providing the most efficient mobile broadband network infrastructure, NSN also highlighted the importance of customer experience management (CEM) as an integral part of its strategy.
NSN also provided more guidance on which market segments it no longer considers core. These include wireline, microwave, Wimax, perfect voice, and business support systems. Some of these, microwave and Wimax, it already spun off. NSN estimates that the overall revenue impact of its non-core disposals will total 10% of its current revenue base. The impact on profit will be less than 10%, as these non-core disposals are low-margin operations.
NSN believes that telcos increasingly demand end-to-end solutions from their equipment vendor partners. No equipment vendors can credibly deliver such end-to-end solutions on their own. Hence, NSN is positioning itself as an ecosystems manager for end-to-end solutions. As part of its innovation drive, NSN increasingly focuses on devising concepts for solutions rather than simply focusing on product upgrades. For instance, Liquid Net is a concept for network infrastructure design that supports a more efficient usage of underutilized infrastructure capacity based on a range of NSN products. Similarly, NSN places great emphasis on its CEM solution, which helps telcos to transform their services offerings by enhancing network-related features that affect customer experience and satisfaction.

the 3 is a car that on paper, you would never consider, but end up falling in love with it anyway. there isn't a single owner of a 3 that doesn't absolutely love it.
the interior was such a refreshing change from the WRX: very Audi-like in fit, finish, and feel. the ride/handling compromise is BMW-like. Even when I had 225/45-17's on my WRX, I can go the exact same speed around corners in the 3, yet the ride is infinitely smoother. Handling wise, I feel like I got ripped off with the WRX.
Power is merely adequate, but I love being able to cruise at 1500rpm. It has variable valve timing, and you can actually pass someone at 1500rpm, where the WRX is simply a dog. basically the only time the WRX felt faster was when I was flooring it.
I also love the styling of my 5-door. much sexier than WRX wagons.
The 5-speed is simply *awesome*. snickety snick, short throws, precise, don't have to worry about it blowing up, and butter smooth. much, much, better than the clunky 5 speed in the WRX. you'll never need a short shifter in this car. The steering wheel is straight out of the RX-8 and kicks major ass.
The only thing I miss from the WRX is the added security of AWD, and that boxer rumble. otherwise, the 3 kicks major ass.

Both sets of Kindles contain a collection of popular fiction and classic titles and new titles will be updated on an ongoing basis.
Although these Kindles are meant to encourage and inspire our young patron's love of reading, they must have a parent or guardian over the age of 18 with them (who must have a valid library card and photo ID) to check out the eReaders.
To view the titles, availability, or to place a hold on the Kindles, search our catalog for "Omro Kindle" and two records will come up. If you click on each record you will be able to view the titles available on each set of Kindles.
- Kindles 1 and 2 contain titles appropriate for middle school readers
- Kindles 3, 4, and 5 contain titles appropriate for high school readers
NOOK eREADERS: You can also borrow Nooks from Carter Memorial Library! To check availability, check titles, or place a hold on either one of our two Nooks, search the library catalog for the title "Omro Nook" and select either:
- Omro Nook #1
- Omro Nook #2
Each Nook comes with lots of popular titles, preloaded and ready to read. Most titles can be changed to large print titles by changing the text size on screen.
For more information about checking out our Nooks, please stop in or contact us. For information on the Nooks and how to use them, check out the links below.
