We help you measure the quality of your operations and your service performance at a granular level through objective mystery shopping. Measurement can span stores, contact centers, fulfillment operations or a combination of the three to provide a true, 360 degree perspective of your touchpoints with customers. Data and insights go through a rigorous QA process before being uploaded into customizable online dashboards.
Performance Benchmarking
StellaService was the first company to create a syndicated dataset collecting daily performance metrics across contact centers and fulfillment operations. Our StellaService Ecommerce Index has become a widely quoted barometer that pinpoints best practices across hundreds of service and operational dimensions. This Index forms a central part of our Stella Metrics product, and you can leverage the syndicated insights to compare your performance against other service leaders, to set goals, and to inform operational investment priorities.
Customer Satisfaction Surveys
Our customer satisfaction tools are a perfect complement to the objective data we collect through omnichannel mystery shopping. We work with clients across a broad range of industries to gather real-time customer feedback after service and sales interactions. Feedback can range from NPS to questions exploring service performance, product development or operational effectiveness. You can also capture more in-depth 1:1 feedback through Customer Intercepts conducted in stores. As well as providing actionable insights for driving change across your organization, this customer feedback can also help drive front-line employee motivation.

At the heart of best-in-class service organizations are best-in-class front-line teams. We know that motivated and engaged front-line team members will always do a better job delighting customers, which is why we created Stella Connect.

NEW YORK — A senior al-Qaeda leader and son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, captured in Jordan in the past week, pleaded not guilty Friday in federal court in New York to plotting against Americans in his role as the terror network's top spokesman.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was brought into the largest courtroom at the federal courthouse shortly after 10 a.m. and entered the plea through a lawyer to one count of conspiracy to kill Americans in a case that marks a legal victory for President Barack Obama's administration.
Black cuffs bound his hands behind him as he was led into a courtroom with about 80 spectators, mostly journalists, lawyers and court employees. He was bearded and wearing a blue prison uniform. The cuffs were taken off, and he was seated next to his court-appointed lawyer, federal defender Philip Weinstein.
Abu Ghaith was arrested overseas the night of Feb. 28, gave…

The Chrysler 300C SRT-8 is a high performance variation of the Chrysler 300C.
The 300C SRT-8 came onto the automobile market in 2004. The SRT-8 received a small rear spoiler integrated onto its body in 2007. The second generation 300C SRT-8 with a 6.4L HEMI V8 went into production in 2011.
Need for Speed: Carbon
The 300C appears in Need for Speed: Carbon as a Tier 1 Muscle car with a price tag of $35,000. It is unlocked by default.
The 300C is an averagely performing vehicle. Its handling suffers from severe understeer in corners due to its large size and mass. This trait makes it less controllable than the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS.
The car is best used in pursuits to take advantage of its durability. The 300C is recommendable for race events without many sharp corners since it has a moderate top speed and quick acceleration with performance upgrades but still lacks behind to most cars in handling.
In the career mode, the 300C is commonly used by minor crews such as Inferno and can sometimes be seen being driven by 21st Street Crew members. Neville will drive a 300C if the player chooses the Chevrolet Camaro as their starting car class in the career mode.
In the Challenge Series, the player must drive a modified Chrysler 300C SRT-8 in a bronze tier speedtrap race.
Need for Speed: Carbon: Own the City
The Chrysler 300C appears in the PlayStation Portable release of Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City. It is unlocked upon defeating Layla 1.
Need for Speed: Undercover
The 300C appears in the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo Wii releases of Need for Speed: Undercover. In the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii releases, it has a price tag of $46,000.
The 300C can be found in the game files of the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 releases of Need for Speed: Undercover.
The model is in an incomplete state and only some aftermarket parts can be applied, but if included in the released game, it could have been purchased with a price tag of $35,000.
Need for Speed: World
The Chrysler 300C was released in Need for Speed: World on August 16th, 2012 with a Tier 2 rating. Since August 22nd, 2012, it has a C class rating.
In terms of performance, the Red Juggernaut is a decent car. It has a good acceleration speed. Nitrous boost is above average but not as powerful as seen on some SpeedBoost exclusive Class B cars. The 300C is prone to oversteer at low-speed cornering and oddly has heavy steering whilst turning at high speeds. Top speed is 176 mph (283 km/h).
It might be less effective in multiplayer races due to its handling characteristics. The 300C performs well in pursuits events well because of its mass.
The addition of pursuit skill mods make the Juggernauts are more suitable for Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape than racing, since they are easily outmatched by Class B cars with better handling such as the Ford Escort RS Cosworth. They both have an increased top speed of 185 mph (298 km/h).
|The Blue style is an Amerikon Speedsystems performance tuned speedboost car that costs 2800. It was made available on October 4th, 2012.
|The White style is a rotationally available stock cash car that costs 300,000, and was initially released on January 2nd, 2015 as part of a special weekend only rotation.
On June 6th, 2015, its price was lowered from 750,000 as part of the End of the World event.
Blue Juggernaut
|The Blue Juggernaut style is a juggernaut car that costs 2800. It was released on February 27th, 2012.
It is fitted with various Race tuned quality performance parts, 2-star Skill Mods, and a selection of aftermarket parts.
Red Juggernaut
|The Red Juggernaut style is a juggernaut car that costs 2800. It was released on February 27th, 2012.
It is fitted with various Race tuned quality performance parts, 2-star Skill Mods, and a selection of aftermarket parts.
- A silver 300C prominently appears during a flashback at the beginning of Need for Speed: Carbon. It reverses to reveal an alleyway that the player uses to escape but quickly blocks the route again after they enter it.
- The door handle geometry of the 300C in Need for Speed: World isn't attached to the car's body and can be seen floating near its correct placement.
- In the game files of Need for Speed: Carbon, there is an unused preset of Nikki's car for a Chrysler 300C SRT-8.

Sunil Gulati also reiterated that he's not opposed to the idea of the Premier League playing a 39th game abroad if the plan is ever approved by FIFA, UEFA and the FA. One man firmly opposed is Brian Glanville, who groans at the prospect of the matter being "exhumed" next week at the Premier League Congress.
"It seems hardly believable that as wise a manager as Arsenal's Arsene
Wenger should be in favor of it," he writes, "but so one hears. Notably and reassuringly, Liverpool and Manchester United...are against the crass idea." He writes off as "fluent nonsense" the words
of Everton Chief Executive Keith Wyness, who has drawn parallels between the 39th game and plans to establish cricket in China and the US.
"Meanwhile, I'm sure they are yearning in
Beijing and Sydney to see a game between Wigan and Bolton Wanderers," he says. "Maybe the ideal thing would be to let the daft idea go ahead, only and predictably to fall flat on its ugly face."

Election Guide 2012: Voters will decide whether to retain Judge Michael O'Hara III
October 17, 2012
Other judge retentions
Routt County voters also will weigh in on the retention of a Colorado Supreme Court justice and six Colorado Court of Appeals judges. Following are the State Commission on Judicial Performance recommendations for each judge.
Nathan B. Coats: Unanimous vote recommending retention
Judge Laurie A. Booras: Unanimous vote recommending retention
Judge James S. Casebolt: Unanimous vote recommending retention
Judge Dennis A. Graham: Unanimous vote recommending retention
Judge Gale T. Miller: Unanimous vote recommending retention
Judge Marc Taubman: Unanimous vote recommending retention
Judge John R. Webb: Unanimous vote recommending retention
For complete survey results on each judge, visit http://www.coloradojudicialperformance.gov.
Ballot language
Shall Judge Michael O'Hara of the 14th Judicial District be retained in office?
Voters on Nov. 6 will decide whether to retain Judge Michael O'Hara III as the chief judge for the 14th Judicial District, which encompasses Routt, Moffat and Grand counties.
O'Hara has been a judge since August 2003, when he was appointed by Gov. Bill Owens.
The Colorado Office of Judicial Performance Evaluation unanimously recommended that O'Hara be retained as the chief judge.
In formulating its opinion, the commission reviewed a self-evaluation completed by O'Hara; reviewed written opinions and orders; conducted a personal interview; and observed his courtroom. The commission also considered written evaluations submitted by attorneys, court staff, litigants, jurors, witnesses, law enforcement personnel and various others.
According to the commission, 80 percent of attorneys surveyed recommended O'Hara be retained, 15 percent recommended he not be retained and the remainder did not make a recommendation. Of all the non-attorneys surveyed, 88 percent recommended that he be retained, 6 percent did not want O'Hara retained and 5 percent did not have a recommendation.
The commission's survey gave O'Hara high marks in the areas of demeanor, fairness, communications, diligence and application of law. The commission also stated O'Hara issues wise, well-reasoned decisions, and he explains his verbal and written rulings clearly and thoroughly.
"He effectively manages court staff in three counties," the commission concluded.
The commission also noted that it discussed with O'Hara limited concerns from the survey regarding timeliness of written orders. The commission said it is satisfied with the steps that O'Hara has taken to address those concerns.
O'Hara was born and raised in Southern California. He and his family moved to Steamboat in 1991, and he worked at a small private practice for 11 years before being appointed a district judge.

The weather men have been horrendous lately and today was no exception.
It was supposed to be cold and windy...
I got off the dock on a falling tide at 9am looking for brant.
It was a slick and still as it could be....mirror calm.
Yesterday was a zoo with tons of guys out and today there was one other boat as far as I could see....my kind of day.
I scouted around a bit and set up on a point with a sand bar and a deep water channel that ran out for bills, mergs, buffs, whatever...but I really wanted some brant.
There were lots around, so I didn't want to shoot at the passing buffs etc so I hung out until a pair of drake mergansers came in low and dropped one in a 3 bounce splash.
Then a long wait until I heard a buzz.....then a brrrrrr, and I figured cool! A boat to kick things up a bit...the brrrrrrr became a BRRRRR which became a WHAAAAAAAAAAA and I had no freakin idea what the hell was coming down the bay, but I didn't want to look because I figured that some birds HAD to be coming soon...
Finally it got so loud that I had to look and at that second it was a sea plane that went RIGHT over me at 100' high or so...REALLY low and REALLY loud.
Sure enough here come the brant and I dropped 2...done.
Not a breath of wind and nearly no one out.....
strange, but a great day alone.

Colombo: Sri Lanka batted and bowled aggressively to crush New Zealand by 106 runs and qualify for the final of the triangular One-day cricket series on Tuesday.New Zealand, chasing 222 off its allotted 36 overs in a rain-hit match, collapsed against Sri Lanka's pace-spin combination to finish at 115 for nine, extras being the top-scorer with 25.New Zealand total was one run less than its lowest (116 at Moratuwa in 1984) against the hosts in 50 matches.New Zealand was in danger of falling to its lowest score in One-dayers, 64 against Pakistan at Sharjah in 1985-86, after being reduced to 57 for eight at one stage, but Chris Harris (18) and Kyle Mills (18 not out) then put on 26 for the ninth wicket.The last-wicket pair of Mills and Darryl Tuffey (20 not out) chanced their arms in the closing overs to help their team cross the 100-mark. The highest stand of the innings was 39 for the sixth wicket between Dion Nash (23) and Harris.Sri Lanka, with eight points from five matches, will meet India in its last game on Wednesday. New Zealand and India have four and two points, respectively.Middle-order batsman Mahela Jayawardene and left-arm fast bowler Chaminda Vaas ( three for 20) played big roles in Sri Lanka's fourth win.Jayawardene, who scored just 19 in his last four matches, returned to form with a quick fire 58.Man-of-the-match Vaas and Dharmasena (two for 16) then reduced the match to a no-contest with their three and two wicket hauls, respectively.New Zealand's woes began in the third over when Vaas trapped opener Matthew Sinclair leg-before and, one ball later, had Jacob Oram caught by lone-slip Russel Arnold.Vaas struck again, finding the edge of skipper Stephen Fleming's bat and Avishka Gunawardene making no mistake in the slips. Sri Lanka virtually wrapped up the match when it removed Nathan Astle and Craig McMillan in the eighth over to send New Zealand reeling at 18 for five.Dharmasena dismissed Adam Parore and Daniel Vettori off successive deliveries, but Mills survived the hat-trick ball. In contrast, the Sri Lanka batting, led by Jayawardene, flourished from the opening over after New Zealand had won the toss and elected to field. Jayawardene struck two sixes and four boundaries in his half-century. He was instrumental in Sri Lanka scoring 96 runs in the last 11 overs with a 56-run stand for the fourth wicket off 57 balls with Marvan Atapattu.Atapattu contributed a 39-ball 34, which included a six over long-off off medium-pacer Nash. The New Zealand fielding left a lot to be desired under pressure, as Sinclair dropped left-handed opener Gunawardene on 31 at mid-wicket off Harris.McMillan then failed to hold onto a mistimed pull by Atapattu on 26 off Nash at the same position. The hosts signalled their intentions from the first over with skipper Sanath Jayasuriya lofting fast bowler Tuffey for a one-bounce four.Jayasuriya however fell when on 20, flicking Mills to Tuffey at short fine-leg. There was no respite for New Zealand though as Gunawardene (38), Romesh Kaluwitharana (25), Atapattu and Arnold (22 not out) batted aggressively.Gunawardene and Kaluwitharana put on 57 for the second wicket off 62 balls and then Jayawardene went on the rampage in the closing overs.

Gestão da satisfação e fidelidade do cliente : um estudo dos fatores que influenciam na satisfação e fidelidade dos clientes corporativos de telefonia celular / Management of customes satisfaction and loyalty: a study of factors influencing the satisfaction and loyalty to corporate customer of mobile service telephony
Luiz Carlos Baginski Neto
The competition in the telecommunications industry has grown in Brazil since the privatization, forcing companies that are active in the market to a growing commitment to quality products and services in order to survive. In this context, this work aims to understand the main factors that influence the degree of satisfaction exists in respect of a mobile operator with its corporate customers. The research covered theoretical concepts and analytical models of quality management system and models of indices related to the measurement of customer satisfaction. For the field research was carried out in a practical application of the main approaches based on this thesis by a case study in corporate segment, through a questionnaire applied to 10 consultants and 40 corporate customers of that company. Comparing the results of research with the consultants and corporate clients there is the concern of respondents to the indicators that comprise the constructs of customer satisfaction, commitment calculated, the price index and the handling of complaints, denoting the dissatisfaction of the general assessment for corporate customers with the carrier, against its current expectations. It is concluded that the mobile operator of the telecommunications industry have a big challenge, after ten years of privatization and consequently the period of rapid expansion of customer base and with the depleted, retain corporate customers as highly strategic, thus avoiding that migrate to other companies. We emphasize the need for further research and analysis of different approaches through research and using the same models to specifically evaluate and measure customer satisfaction of mobile enterprise, to adjust the model to the national market. Finally, we suggest the creation of an effective customer loyalty program with a strategy of relationship and specific to the corporate sector of mobile telephony

text: After a three week trial, a jury has decided the fate of a former Chelsea selectwoman accused of extortion, fraud and tax evasion.Carole Swan, 55, faced 10 federal charges. After nearly three weeks of evidence and 130 witnesses, the case was handed over to the jury about 2:45 p.m. Friday. Nine hours later, the jury found Swan guilty of five counts of making false statements on a tax returns from 2006-2010. The jury also found the 55-year-old guilty of making false statements to obtain more than $1000 worth of workers' comp benefits in 2008 and 2010. She was found not guilty on similar charges in 2011.The 12 jurors also found the former selectwoman not guilty of obtaining more than $5,000 from a local government program receiving more than $10,000 in federal funds for more than year.These charges come after Swan was accused of taking kickbacks from a contractor while she served as a selectwoman.Prosecutors said she also inflated the cost of road projects awarded to her husband's construction business, failed to report almost $700,000 in income and lied about workers' compensation benefits.Swan's lawyer claims she was an abused wife who only followed the orders of her husband, Marshal Swan.In closing statements Leonard Sharon told the jury Swan didn't intend to defraud the government, saying "You can't convict a person for a mistake."He added, "One woman didn't overturn a democracy. This isn't Chechnya, it's Chelsea. I hate to use this term, but it's similar to a witch hunt."Assistant U.S Attorney Donald Clark told the jury, "This case is about money and if you follow the money it goes right back to Swan."He also talked about how Swan went on vacations by herself, as proof she wasn't being held against her will by her husband.He said, "If she walked out, she could get out. Members of the jury: she had options." This trial only dealt with the fraud charges. She'll face another trial for the extortion charges. The judge released Swan on an unsecure bail. Clark had no comments after the case, while Swan's attorney said "I'm disappointed, but I'm also realistic."Marshall Swan is being tried separately in October.

|Summary: Simple, Secure and Reliable Email Retriever
getmail is intended as a simple, secure, and reliable replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves email (either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3, SPDS, or IMAP4 servers (with or without SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address.

West Virginia's women's track program heads the bottom quartet of our rankings, coming in with a 4.75 overall score. Our panel evaluated the success of the program fairly equally, with some of the All-American performances of the recent past helping boost it past the wrestling program in our overall evaluation.
Will hoped-for renovations of the Shell Building, including a permanent 200-meter banked track and improved weight rooms, help the Mountaineers rise in the future? That's half of the picture, but a total makeover or a new outdoor track facility will be necessary for WVU to be competitive in the upper half of the Big 12 conference.
Greg Hunter: (12th) Though West Virginia has long fielded a strong women's cross country team, it has never really used that as the foundation for an above average track & field program. The Mountaineers have had some individual success stories in track (Pat Itanyi, Kate Vermeulen, Marie-Louise Asselin, Chelsea Carrier, etc.), but really has never been a factor on the national scene as a team. In its two seasons in the Big 12, WVU finished last among the 10 women's track programs in the league at both the conference indoor championship meets, while it was ninth in the outdoor championship this past year and eighth the year before. The facilities for West Virginia's women's track athletes (the Shell Buildings for indoor work and the outdoor track beside it) are functional but far from top notch.
Matt Keller: (11th) Women's track saw a few NCAA qualifiers and resulting All American performances, but that hasn't been enough to boost the team into a competitive slot in the Big 12 conference or on the national scene.
Michael Carvelli: (13th) Sean Cleary's track and field ladies have shown they can be successful without the best facilities in place. The Mountaineers recently sent five members of the team to NCAA qualifiers, which is not bad at all. While WVU has excelled in distance running, it has shown that it can emerge in some other key events as well with athletes like Stormy Nesbit and Chene Townsend helping lead the way.
Kevin Kinder: (13th) Saddled with abysmal facilities, the women's track team does get quality performances on the national scale from a few of its members annually, which boosts it above some other Mountaineer programs. However, low finishes in conference competition as a team keep it in the bottom quarter of my evaluation.

Women's Soccer Defeats California
BERKELEY, Calif.-Junior forward Courtney Barham's goal in the 80th minute proved to be the difference as the No. 20 USC women's soccer team defeated California, 2-1, in a Pacific-10 Conference game on Sunday afternoon at Witter Field. It was the Women of Troy's first-ever win against the Bears in three tries and follows USC's first-ever win against Stanford two days earlier.
USC improves to 11-1-1 overall and 2-0 in the PAC-10. The women of Troy are ranked No. 20 by Soccer Buzz and No. 23 by the NSCAA. California falls to 5-6-1, 0-2.
USC had missed on three previous breakways in the second half, but Barham was finally able to put one away and break a 1-1 tie with 10 minutes left in the contest. Junior midfielder Carol Hatcher made a pass up to midfield, and Barham took the ball, outran a defender and slid the ball past the goalie.
"This was the kind of game I expested from California," USC coach Jim Millinder said. "We didn't play all that well, and this was a battle. I knew at some point we would finish one of our chances. It wasn't attractive, but it was a win, and we need to win games like this if we want to become PAC-10 champions."
USC scored first in the 10th minute when sophomore midfielder Kim Clark's free kick from the left corner found Hatcher at the back post, and she bodied it in. It was Clark's 11th assist of the season, tying a USC record.
Cal hung with USC the entire match despite being at a man disadvantage. In the 15th, Barham was pulled down from behind on a breakaway by Cal's Ryan McManus in the penalty box. McManus was given a red card and Barham was awarded a penalty shot, but the Cal goalie made the save.
Despite playing with only 10 players, Cal evened the score at 1-1 in the 65th minute when Maresa Zanetti headed in a corner kick.

Moses buries him. Literally – he opens up the earth and Korah and his
followers are swallowed alive. The Rabbis of the Midrash were more
graceful. They only buried him literarily and morally -- projecting upon
him every evil motive and base intention. For the Rabbis, Korah becomes the
personification of manipulative demagoguery, personal greed, vicious envy,
unquenchable craving for power, exploitation, arrogance, and
rebelliousness. A rebel he is. After the people Israel are condemned to
wander the desert forty years, Korah raises a revolt against Moses and
Aaron: "You have gone too far! For all the community are holy, all of them,
and the Lord is in their midst. Why do you raise yourselves above the
Lord's congregation?" (Numbers 16:3)
It is too easy to label Korah evil and dismiss his claims. There is nothing
in the pshat, the simple reading of the Biblical text, to
castigate Korah as the embodiment of evil. In fact, isn't it suspicious how
ready everyone is to get rid of him? What are we covering up? What truth
does Korah know?
At Sinai, God proclaimed, "You shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a
holy nation." (Ex 19:5-6) Korah asks: If we are all a kingdom of priests,
what is the special prerogative of one who proclaims himself "spiritual
leader"? Instructing the building of the Mishkan shrine, God announced,
"Let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them." (Ex 25:8) Korah
wonders: If God already dwells among the people, who needs intermediaries
and functionaries to reach God? In Leviticus, God commanded: "You shall be
holy, for I the Lord your God, am holy." (Lev 19:2). Korah points out:
Holiness, the quality we share with God, is within our reach. Not an elite,
but holiness is within us all. Moses himself offered: "Would that all the
Lord's people were prophets, that the Lord put His spirit upon them!"
(Numbers 11:29) Korah responds: Shouldn't this be our goal? Not to elevate
another Moses, but to elevate the entire community to his prophetic vision.
Korah is a rebel, no doubt. But he is a holy rebel. He rebels in obedience
to God. And Moses' impulse to bury him represent a serious failure of
leadership. A healthy community needs holy dissent. A healthy community
needs voices demanding a renewed commitment to ideals. A healthy community
needs to be reminded that its moral compromises are just that, compromises
– the best we could do under the circumstances, not the best we could do.
Korah is an irritant, a source of aggravation, a challenge to authority and
to accepted practice. It's no wonder we want to bury him. But a living
community of conscience and spirit needs a Korah.
Another great spiritual dissident, Martin Buber, taught that a spiritual
community swings between poles of "religion" and "religiosity."
"Religiosity" refers to those rare ecstatic moments when the Absolute
breaks into our experience and reorients our vision and values. These are
moments of passion and insight. But they are fleeting. "Religion" is born
when these moments are captured, organized and preserved in symbols, texts,
and rites. At the heart of spiritual life lives this tension: As "religion"
settles into holy tradition, it loses touch with these original moments of
ecstasy and revelation. It loses its creative energy. Religion needs
religiosity. "Religion is true so long as it is creative," wrote Buber,
"but is creative so long as religiosity is able to imbue [it] with new and
incandescent meaning. Once religious rites and dogmas have become so rigid
that religiosity cannot move them, religion becomes uncreative and
therefore untrue."
One of the wonders of Jewish history is our continuing capacity to welcome
and absorb holy dissent. We are a living community, held together by deep
bonds of family and communal solidarity, and not just a church bound by
dogma. Therefore we have always found room to embrace dissent and rebellion
without destroying the Jewish people. Prophets challenged Priests, and they
were included in the Bible. The Rabbis disagreed about almost everything,
and the Talmud proclaimed "These and these are the words of the living
God." Mystics and Hasidim challenged rabbinical authorities, and their
voices were added to the symphony of Jewish wisdom. The greatest Jewish
rebellion in Modernity was Zionism.
And today, we are all Zionists. We are a creative people because the voice
of Korah lives.
We are committed to teach our children the Torah of Moses -- Jewish
continuity, faithfulness to the Jewish past, loyalty to tradition and
ancestors. Their curriculum must also include the Torah of Korah -- holy
rebel ion, spiritual dissent. Alongside continuity, let us celebrate the
creative overturning and reinvention of Jewish life and vision. That too is
our holy tradition.
Rabbi Edward Feinstein, is senior rabbi of Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, California. He has served on the faculty of the Ziegler Rabbinical School of Rabbinic Studies at American Jewish University since 1990 and is an instructor for the Wexner Heritage Program, lecturing widely across the United States. In 1982, Rabbi Feinstein became the founding director of the Solomon Schechter Academy of Dallas, Texas, building the school's enrollment from 40 to over 500 in eight years, and winning national recognition as center of educational excellence. In 1990, he assumed the position of executive director of Camp Ramah in California, the largest Jewish camp and conference center in the western United States. He came to Valley Beth Shalom in 1993 at the invitation of the renowned Rabbi Harold Schulweis, whom he succeeded as the congregation's senior rabbi in 2005.

2014 Acura RLX FWD
Suddenly, the big Honda seems prescient.
Beyond its handling benefits, the independent rear steering helps fuel economy by reducing tire scrub, especially in corners. It's an expensive and complicated way to eke out some fuel savings, but it spares drivers from having to suffer low-rolling-resistance tires that impose braking and cornering compromises.
P-AWS and AHA give the RLX vivid path accuracy and turn-in characteristics, as the car refuses to betray its front-wheel-drive layout and 60.8/39.2-percent front-to-rear weight distribution until pushed hard. The steering is as predictable and progressively weighted as what we've experienced in a front-drive Honda product. Despite the flat and stable ride, though, we found wheel impacts to be a bit too harsh for a car that boasts fancy new ZF Sachs dampers.
Hold on: We're not done with the acronyms and abbreviations yet. The Advance trim model we drove had an LKAS (lane keeping assist system) and ACC (adaptive cruise control), as well as FCW (forward collision warning) and LDW (lane departure warning), which are standard on the base car. Sadly, none of these letters conjures images of fuzzy animals or contrived surprise, but the first two do create a force field around the car in stop-and-go traffic. The Acura folk call this the "405 feature," in reference to L.A.'s clogged carotid. ACC prevents the RLX from hitting a leading car by slowing to a full stop if necessary, and the LKAS keeps the car in a lane, its camera-based intelligence actually steering the car away from a road line. So text away, idiots. These control-seizing functions aren't on by default, and the multibutton process to engage them isn't well guided, but at least you have to willingly deploy these systems. Acura's legal department thanks you.
Honda's upscale brand is not bashful about charging customers for all of this, with the base car starting at $49,345. That includes an adequate but by no means complete raft of acronyms: P-AWS, LDW, FCW, full LED headlights, and the basic but excellent 10-speaker ELS audio system. The RLX with Navigation trim level adds navigation for $2500. The next trim level up is the RLX with Technology, at $55,345, and it brings 19-inch aluminum wheels, four more speakers, blind-spot warning, power-folding side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and very soft Milano leather. Moving on to the 14-speaker RLX with Krell Audio for another $2500, you get a system that spent four years in development. You can hear it in its absolute fidelity at high volume and its level of sonic detail; you notice things in old songs you've never heard before. Our test car was a fully stocked, $61,345 RLX with Advance, with all the above plus ACC, LKAS, ventilated front seats, parking sensors, heated rear seats, and precrash braking and seatbelt systems. That's suddenly real money, even if it's about $5000 less across the board than the German competition. And an all-wheel-drive RLX, with a 370-horse, three-motor-hybrid V-6, a seven-speed DCT, and expected 30/30/30 fuel economy, is coming later this year. We'll see if it can command the $70,000 it's expected to cost, but you've got to admire Acura's chutzpah.

Legendary Coach Suzanne Yoculan Chosen For Circle Of Honor Induction
July 18, 2014
July 18, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- Former gymnastics coach Suzanne Yoculan, All-America football player and assistant coach Steve Greer, and soccer pioneer Stephanie Yarem Ransom have been chosen for induction into the University of Georgia's Circle of Honor, according to an announcement Friday by UGA J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity.
Yoculan, Greer and Ransom will be formally inducted during the Circle of Honor Gala on Friday, Feb. 6, 2015. They will be recognized at this season's Georgia-Vanderbilt football game in Athens on Oct. 4.
The Circle of Honor is designed to recognize and pay tribute to extraordinary student-athletes and coaches who by their performance and conduct have brought honor to the university and themselves, and who by their actions have contributed to the tradition of the Georgia Bulldogs. The criteria also stipulate that each recipient has earned his or her academic degree.
Yoculan left an indelible mark on Georgia -- and national -- gymnastics during her 26 seasons as the Gym Dogs' coach. From 1983 to 2009, she guided Georgia to an NCAA-best 10 national championships, including the last five in a row. Yoculan also coached Georgia to 16 SEC and 22 NCAA Regional titles. She ended her career with an overall record of 836-117-7, making her the winningest coach in Georgia history for all sports. Yoculan produced 37 NCAA individual champions and 58 Gym Dogs earned 306 All-America honors during her tenure. She was recognized by her peers as the National Coach of the Year five times and as the SEC Coach of the Year eight times. Yoculan was inducted into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
In addition to competitive success, Yoculan created a culture of mass exposure for Georgia gymnastics. Meets drew approximately 200 fans when she first arrived, yet the crowd totals soared to an average of nearly 10,000 throughout most of her career. Yoculan also worked tirelessly to get Gym Dogs meets on national, regional and statewide telecasts, she launched a weekly television highlights show, she authored a book and she oversaw the production of national championship season DVDs -- all of which set the standards that many programs follow today.
Greer was a three-year starter for Georgia as a defensive lineman from 1967-69 and he played major roles in the Liberty, Sugar and Sun Bowl games. Greer was a member of the Bulldogs' 1968 SEC championship team. An All-American and All-SEC performer, Greer was selected permanent team captain in 1969. He won the Atlanta Touchdown Club award for most valuable lineman in the SEC and the Sigma Phi Epsilon Georgia Outstanding Athlete of the Year Award. Greer was a defensive participant in the American Bowl and Hula Bowl.
After receiving his undergraduate degree in 1970, Greer served as a graduate assistant and obtained his master's in 1972. After a stint on the Auburn coaching staff from 1972-78, he rejoined the Georgia staff in 1979 as recruiting coordinator and defensive ends coach. He served as defensive line coach and was responsible for the defensive kicking game from 1981-93. Beginning in 1993, Greer served as recruiting coordinator and administrative assistant and was named Director of Football Operations in 1996. Greer retired following the 2008 season after more than three decades with the Bulldogs as a player, coach and administrator.
Ransom was a member of Georgia's inaugural soccer team in 1995 and she lettered all four years of her collegiate career. She earned First-Team All-America honors in 1997 after posting 18 goals, including a nation-leading eight game winners. Her 18 goals is still the best single-season performance in school history. Ransom also picked up First-Team All-Southeast and All-SEC accolades that season. She was First-Team All-SEC and Second-Team All-Southeast in 1998 and Second-Team All-SEC and Third-Team All-Southeast in 1996. Ransom ended her career with 28 goals, which was second in school history at the time and ranks third entering the 2014 season. She holds the school marks for game-winning goals in a career (15) and a season (eight) and is No. 3 in points in a career (67) and a season (37).
Ransom currently serves as Georgia's Assistant Athletic Director for Business Operations. She began work at the Athletic Association in June 2000 as the Assistant Director of Business. In her current role, her responsibilities include managing the day-to-day business operations, budget reporting and planning, contracts and information technology. In addition, she serves as the sport facilitator for soccer and softball.

French-Indian War 1754-1763
2007 marked the French and Indian War 250th Anniversary. Events from the seven-year struggle included the surrender of Fort William Henry in Lake George and the resulting and much debated massacre that occurred when the British retreated from French and Indian forces.
In 1755, the British built Fort William Henry on the south end of Lake George. The French countered this move by building a fort on the north end of Lake George, in Ticonderoga. This fort was originally known as Fort Carillon, later renamed Fort Ticonderoga by the British. In 1757, as part of the French and Indian War, the French General, Montcalm, captured Fort William Henry. In the summer of 1759 the French were defeated. The English took control of all the forts and forced the French from the lakes. When the war ended in 1763, the English ruled all of Eastern North America.
The French and Indian War raged from the late 1750's into the early 1760's, and produced the single largest pre-Civil War land battle in American history. Fort Ticonderoga, the setting of this legendary battle, offers historical reenactments depicting with expert accuracy every detail of the battle, from uniforms and weapons to staging and military strategy. The Lake George Battlefield Park and Fort George State Park are amazing adventures. Both parks include interpretive signage chronicling historical events like the bloody battles and the race to cure smallpox that transpired on these famous sites.
Living History
Historical re-enactors are devotees of the past; lovers of history who are passionate about portraying the events of a particular time as accurately and precisely as possible. They are sticklers for detail, adhering to strict guidelines for the authentic dress and materials of the period, the weaponry, cooking utensils, and medical care. Reenactors bring history to vivid life amid the smoke of cannon and musket fire, the colors, sounds and smells of an 18th century battlefield.
The French and Indian War, also called the Seven Years' War began in 1754 with territorial disputes between the French and British, both of whom wanted to claim settlements and benefit from the vigorous economic growth that was sure to follow. The flash point occurred when young George Washington, a then-colonel in the British army, built a small fort on the Ohio River in Pennsylvania. He refused to leave when ordered by the French and the fort was attacked. Washington lost a third of his troops before surrendering and being allowed to return to Wills Creek. The battle had begun.
In the early fall of 1755, the Battle of Lake George ended inconclusively, but gave the British a strategy to construct Fort William Henry, only to have it sieged and massacred later in the war.
The surrender of Fort William Henry took place in the summer of 1757. The British agreed to surrender to the French, and negotiated very generous terms for their surrender that included safe passage to Fort Edward. As they retreated, they were attacked by the Indians who had fought as allies of the French. There still remains much speculation as to why the massacre occurred and how many people were killed. Reports varied from a few dozen to over one thousand, but it has been generally agreed to have been at the lowest end of that estimate. The fictional reenactment in James Fenimore Cooper's novel, Last of the Mohicans, although popular, greatly inflated what actually occurred during that retreat.
Celebrate American history by visiting these legendary forts for a fascinating and intimate glimpse into the events that shaped the future of our nation.

Using 215/60R15 as an example,..... the "215" is tire width in millimeters(25.4mm = 1") measured at the widest bulge of the sidewall(known as "section width") when mounted on its recommended rim width(7" in this case). 215mm is 8.46". The "60" part of the number is sidewall height in percentage(known as "aspect ratio"), a 60 series tire is 60% as tall as it is wide, in this case 5.08"(60% of the 8.46") from bead seat to top of tread. Overall tire height is the 15" rim plus TWO sidewall heights(one top, one bottom)5.08" x 2 =10.16", for a total height of 25.16".
This is how the math is, but tires true sizes vary a good bit from brand to brand. Don't ask me why, it is a pet peeve of mine, the tire companies have a standard for measurement but tires seem to vary (up to an 1" in both height and/or width) for the same size between two different companies.
The 215/60R15 in this example will be slightly wider at the sidewall when on a 8" rim, maybe 8.75" instead of 8.46". If you look tires up in a catalog they all give a recommended(or measuring rim) width for each size tire.
In your case it is not the width that is the total problem, it is the height, which is why I suggested a low profile percentage like 50 or 55 to get it to clear. A 215/50R15 will still be 8.46" wide across the sidewalls on a 7" rim but will only be 23.46" tall because of the 50 series profile.

For many of Dr. Wayne Stuart Lyn's family, friends, and colleagues, it was his smile that they will most remember.
"Everyone commented on his smile," said Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz, D04 and Practice Coordinator of the Clarendon Group Practice at TUSDM. "He was always happy, energetic. His smile made you smile."
Dr. Lyn, D03 and a practicing prosthodontist in La Jolla, Calif., died suddenly on July 20, 2013 in Las Vegas. He was 37 years old. His death has affected many members of the TUSDM community, including Dr. Maragliano-Muniz, who was his former classmate at Tufts and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).
"It was shocking," she said. "Everyone who knew him loved him."
Originally from San Jose, Dr. Lyn received his B.S. in Neuroscience from UCLA. He graduated with his D.M.D. from Tufts in 2003, where he received recognition on the Dean's Honor Roll for his performance on Part 1 of the National Dental Board Examination. He was also the recipient of the Dr. Richard Delson, D70, Endowed Prize Fund for Excellence in Periodontology and Prosthodontics in 2002 and the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry Senior Student Award. He returned to UCLA to complete a Prosthodontics Certificate Program in 2006. Dr. Maragliano-Muniz said Dr. Lyn enjoyed tutoring other students in the program, bringing thoughtfulness and care to everything he did.
"His clinical skills were incredible," she said. "And he was always available to help other students, always checked in on how the others were doing. He was so giving of himself and never asked for anything in return."
Dr. Lyn lived in San Marcos, Calif. with his wife, Kristine and their two children Nicole and Dante. Friends described him as an exceptionally focused person; Dr. Maragliano-Muniz remembered how in the span of a year, he had bought a house, started his practice in La Jolla and had his first child. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Lyn was beloved by his patients, known as a gentle, capable practitioner with excellent chairside manner.
"His patients were lucky to have him," Dr. Maragliano-Muniz said , "His personality matched his skills, which is something you don't always see."
Dr. Lyn is survived by his wife and children. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a memorial fund for his family. Information on how to make a contribution can be found here.
The TUSDM community shares in the sorrow of Dr. Lyn's passing. He will be remembered as a sunny, driven young man who was a role model to those around him.
"He was my hero," Dr. Maragliano-Muniz said. "Everyone wanted to be like Wayne. He gave me something to aspire to."

Macala Wright: Why CEOs Must Prepare For A Collaborative Future
Leading minds in business describe how 'the big Cs' are changing at PTTOW in Los Angeles.
As of 2013, 60% of the global population is under the age of 30 and responsible for $1.2 trillion in consumer spending each year. They are catalysts for change, action and consumerism. As leaders, we need to know how to communicate with them.
Last week, technologists, heads of global brands and futurists gathered to discuss the future of business at PTTOW in Los Angeles. From community to collaboration, connected consumer experiences to causality and CSR – big words, with big meanings, starting with the letter "c" – took center stage in conversations among some of the leading minds in business.
"The ways to change ghettos from being ghettos is turn our kids into technologists, and to teach them to code." –will.i.am, Recording Artist and Technologist
Collisions, Community and Co-Learning
We know that effective leadership in a modern enterprise starts with ourselves and shifting the way in which we act within the world because other often follow our examples. Now we've got to move change into our organizations and that begins with our internal process and systems.
According to Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, that starts by accelerating serendipity, in order to achieve a massive Return on Luck (ROL). With $350 million being invested in The Downtown Project in Las Vegas, he's doing just that.
When Zappos decided to move their headquarters to downtown Las Vegas, they surveyed the square footage required per person. At just over 300 square feet per person and multiple entrances at their current Henderson facilities, employees may not experience random, chance encounters with those they know within the company. Hsieh believes this prevents critical experiences that are at the heart of sparking new ideas, systems, programs and processes. So they planned for one entrance to the building in order to encourage the acceleration of "serendipitous meetings."
In the new headquarters, Zappos is adding doggy day care, a pub reminiscent of Nike's in Portland, and they'll also be reducing the square footage per employee to just under 100 square feet to enhance this phenomenon.
"A great brand is a story that never stops unfolding." – Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos
Since Nevada possesses the lowest literacy rates in all of the 50 United States, the Downtown Project is tackling illiteracy and better education programs by incorporating creativity and neuroscience into their educational processes. The ultimate goal for education under the Downtown Project is to serve kids in preschool through 12th Grade.
The future of successful business enterprises is to become an integral part of the local communities and geographic regions they're based in. And that goes beyond tax incentives and economic impact to the impact of the lives of those that surround them.
We Need to Build Communities Correctly
We've talked about community since the beginning of social media. Some of the most influential people in the digital social space – Brian Solis, Gary Vaynerchuck, Chris Brogan and Amber Nashlund – are living examples of leaders with a community large following around a core topic in business.
However, as the social web has matured, and social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn have achieved staggering user bases, the idea of community has lost its original value and meaning. We now have audiences; people that follow us, passively listening to what we're broadcasting. Community was originally about dialogues between individuals, and we need to get that back.
Gina Bianchini, the founder of Ning, and now Mightybell, the technological platform that is powering Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In community, is telling leaders how to put the "C" back in community in order to drive meaningful conversations.
"Creating communities is about encouraging, facilitating and finding creative reasons for people to talk to each other, not to you. When people talk to each other in the context of the interests and passions your brand celebrates, and better yet, the things people do in the context of your brand, that is where long-term engagement becomes possible. It is where the community becomes something magical," says Bianchini.
"I believe that the goal of communities is not huge numbers for huge numbers sake, but to help bring the largest number of people closer together with existing friends as well as to help them make new friends around the things they care about most." – Gina Bianchini, CEO, Mightybell
So how do we develop a quality community which fuels constructive conversation? Bianchini provided three points:
Think about your community as the means of encouraging people to talk to each other or do things together. It's not about celebrating a joint love of a big brand, but rather the experiences, conversations and close relationships that a brand encourages people to have with each other.
Define success as the number of circles of people who are doing things together, not the massive number of likes or follows you have.
Figure out how your brand can help people bring their friends closer or meet new people and develop new friendships around a shared love.
When we understand this, we'll be replacing our definitions of success as passive clicks with something that brings people closer to other people through conversations and activities.
Connective Customer Experiences
As we become catalysts for change and community warriors, we're also having to think about how we connect with our customers' experiences in our physical and digital worlds. And in order to connect them to our community efforts, with the aim of creating a better world, business enterprises will have to invest significant dollars.
"As a business that operates in radically different categories, we are and must be guided by relevance. We need to find ways to create experience and value in physical places that are different than digital. We can't think of our stores as places to buy, we must think of them as distribution centers," says Jeff Jones, CMO of Target. "And in them, we have to use technology to connect to the physical and digital worlds. Stores are information centers, and physical locations yield themselves well to this. And discovery and experience within them matter."
We've got to ask our customers and key stakeholders one simple question: "How can I best serve you in this moment?" That question is part of the foundation in which you can build connective experiences. Technologies and software systems that power them are merely tools to meet those needs, expressed or unexpressed.
"If you don't like change, you'll like irrelevance even less." – Sebastian Copeland, Environmentalist & Explorer
The Future Lies in Changing It
As Levi's Jim Curleigh says, "Everything with a 'C' is changing. Corporations, climate, community, currency… The future doesn't lie in predicting it, it lies in shaping and changing it." Trends and forecasting are essentially irrelevant. The future is what we make it, not what someone say it is.
So how are those of us in leadership roles going to become the catalysts of tomorrow, shaping a bright future that everyone deserves to live in?

unauthorized copying of information from a computer to a small storage device such as an iPod
'Pod Slurping Dangerous To Enterprises … a researcher has demonstrated just how easy it is to walk off with megabytes of sensitive material when armed with only the ubiquitous iPod and simple software.'TechWeb News 17th June 2005
'The temptation embodied in an unattended PC provides the pathway to being pod slurped … There is a basic problem at the heart of pod slurping: growing prosperity and improving technologies continue to increase its potential scale and sophistication. Unlike the hackers and virus-writers of the 1990s, one does not need much skill or equipment to be a pod slurper.'AME Info 19th April 2007
An unauthorized visitor enters an office after work hours, disguised as a cleaner and carrying an iPod. Making his way from PC to PC, he takes only a few minutes to gather up all the confidential Microsoft Office files on the system. He then slips the iPod in his pocket and leaves the building. No one really knows where he came from, or where he's going. And who is he? – A perpetrator of a security breach now known as pod slurping, which was the Macquarie Dictionary Word of the Year in 2007.
pod slurping represents a very genuine security risk, with … sales of portable devices hitting record levels, and the copying process being quick and easy to execute surreptitiously
Pod slurping occurs when someone uses a portable USB device (for example an iPod / MP3 player, PDA or memory stick) to download large amounts of information from a computer without the owner's consent. And it represents a very genuine security risk, with USB ports being as 'universal' as their name suggests, sales of portable devices hitting record levels, and the copying process being quick and easy to execute surreptitiously. Research has shown that, once an iPod with sufficient storage is plugged into a computer, it can take as little as 65 seconds to scan the hard drive, find all the Excel, PDF and Word files, and copy them over.
The activity noun pod slurping, sometimes written as a closed compound podslurping, has spawned a related noun pod slurper to refer to a perpetrator. The transitive verb pod slurp is also sometimes used, usually in the passive form, as in be / get pod-slurped.
The security risk posed by pod slurping was first recognised in 2005, when Abe Usher, an expert working for the US security consultancy Sharp Ideas, devised a copying program called slurp.exe, which was used to demonstrate the concept. Usher showed that it was possible to extract about 100MB of business data in as little as two minutes, claiming that a 60GB iPod had the potential to store every business document from a medium-sized company.
The expression data slurping (or sometimes simply slurping) is also now used as a general term for the unauthorized copying of business data onto portable devices. An increasing need to deal with the problem has, in turn, lead to use of the term anti-slurping, as in an anti-slurping mechanism / solution.
The verb slurp came into the English language from Dutch in the mid-17th century. Its conventional meaning is described in the Macmillan English Dictionary as: 'to make loud sucking noises as you drink something', so the analogy in IT contexts is presumably the idea of quickly 'sucking' information from something.
