The top three held onto their lead on the final downwind to the finish, with Kaynar crossing just ahead of Papadoupoulus with Mitakis in third to take the overall lead of the championship.
Behind the leading group, many of the favourites were struggling. Regatta leader Flippo Baldassari(ITA) picked up a yellow flag into the finish to drop to 19th and fifth overall. Meanwhile Vasilij Zbogar (SLO) was making a massive comeback from around 30th at the first mark to 14th at the finish. Giorgio Poggi (ITA) crossed in 11th to drop to fourth overall. Zbogar ends the day in third, seven points off Mitakis.
However the biggest climber of the day was former double European Champion Ivan Kljakovic Gaspic(CRO), who placed sixth in the race to move up to second overall, just six points behind Mitakis.
Going into the medal race tomorrow, any of these five has a shot at the title. However only one of them is really experienced in medal races – Kljakovic Gaspic – so despite the points difference, he has to be a clear favourite. But he needs to be careful as he only has a five point margin on fifth place. It's going to be one of those races where the finishing order will almost define the overall positions. It's going to be fascinating.
The Junior is also heading for a thrilling finish. A mistake from leader Michal Jodlowski (POL) allowed second placed Dimitar Vangelov (BUL) to narrow the gap, but these two are assured gold and silver. The bronze is wide open after a high score from reigned Junior World Champion Arkadiy Kistanov (RUS). Any of next seven Juniors can technically win the bronze.
Jodlowski described his mistake, 'I was in front of the Bulgarian and I was going in a nice shift on the second upwind and I could probably finish in the top 10, but I decided to keep covering him instead and I dropped about 30 places. I finished ahead of him because he got a yellow flag on the downwind, but I finished worse than my discard so he has narrowed the gap to 16 points. But I think today's race showed I can contain him no problem. So tomorrow I will just stick with him to make sure of it.'
At 21, this is Jodlowski's first and last chance at the title. 'It is my first full year in Finn.I had a two year break from competitive sailing, but I did a couple of Polish Finn nationals and as it was my last year as a Junior decided to give this a go. I am enjoying it but I am very light at 83 kg, so we will see. I have been very lucky with the wind here this week.'
On his race win Kaynar, 'On the first upwind, the starboard side was the longer tack and we took the breeze from the left side. I managed to get to the first mark in the top 10. Then I took the right side downwind and moved up to eighth at the gate. Then at the beginning on the second upwind I took the breeze again from the left and I moved to second, and then got to first at the top mark.'
Kaynar has been sailing Finns for just three years after switching from the Laser, where he was National Champion. 'We have had very tricky conditions this week. But in this regatta Akif [Muslubas] and myself are really fighting hard and we are both doing well. This regatta forms 15 per cent of our Olympic trials, so it is important for us. It is a long trials from Perth to Sail for Gold. I am in front at the moment but there is a long way to go. And then of course we have to qualify the country in Falmouth.'
Mitakis has been in the Finn three years and has already qualified Greece for the Olympics. He was the Junior European Champion in both 2009 and 2010. He said, 'I am really happy to be leading at this point. And the weather conditions were really difficult again so it's very good for me. I lost a couple of boats after choosing to go to the right side of the course on the second upwind but I didn't expect to be leading, so am very happy. Tomorrow we'll just have to see what will happen.'
Wind permitting, the medal race will be sailed Saturday at 12.00 followed by the final race for the rest.

- - Life jackets for kids: rigid or inflatable? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/cruising-sailing-children/72647-life-jackets-kids-rigid-inflatable.html)
Life jackets for kids: rigid or inflatable?
What's your experience, is an inflatable suitable for 3-4 years yo kids? My local dealer sells them only from 20kg up. I find the rigid ones to be uncomfortable, especially when is very hot outside. Am I wrong?
We like the Mustang foam ones with the collar and strap. Only our older kids get inflatables.
I'd rqather not trust the life on a little kid to depending on an inflatable working- or a little panicked kid remembering to pull the cord.
Unless there's something new on the market, I'm not aware of any inflatable PFDs that are approved by the USCG for use with children. If there's something new, let us know with a link, please. [Previously, there was a hybrid system that combined foam with an inflatable bladder, but those did not remain on the market for very long and I haven't seen them available for 5+ years now, I think.]
Even if there were, I would stick with closed cell foam for kids. With kids, PFDs need to work flawlessly, without any worry about maintenance or whether the system will self-active or get punctured, etc.
I will echo the suggestion of the Mustang L'il Legends PFDs for kids. These are really the best out there. Very young kids will fuss at first, but get used to them after a while if parents remain firm. They need to be worn at all times when on dock or deck, whether underway or not. If you are consistent with the kids, they soon grasp how it works and it becomes second nature.
In Canada
Information about Lifejackets and PFDs from the Safe Boating Guide - Transport Canada
From the USCG Aux.Vessel Examiner's Manual:
I see that Landfall had a Sospenders hybrid for kids, but they are no longer available.
It always helps if you give more information on the header; location and boat type. Something to add for future posts.
Don't listen to anything I say. I break safety rules when I percieve it is safe to and don't really care too much what some of the group thinks about this.
If you live somewhere really hot (Chesapeake Bay, Florida), then if you are going to put the kids in PFDs on a flat clam 100F day you should probably just stay home. It's cruel. We used PFDs some when my daugther was little, but we used a hybrid aproach: harness when conditions were calm to reasonable; in the cabin when rough; PFD when rough or cooler, with a harness too; PFD in small boats or in the water; LOTs of parental attention when small.
Sail Delmarva: Climbing Gear for Sailors; or Jacklines and Harnesses for the Unemployed There is a picture of my girl when she was tiny on a hot calm day, in a harness, playing in a bucket.
But if you listen to any of this, you're on your own. It isn't legal. I don't know you, your boat, the weather, or the waters. I'm just giving some options.
Sail Delmarva: Are You "Captain Safety?"
I've been climbing and sailing for 30 years. I am very attentive. I have also witnessed "safe" people with all of the right gear get dead because they lacked skills. Never a moments inattention, particularly with kids.
Sorry for not mentioning, I made a few other posts today. I'm in Romania, my trip will be in the Aegean, Cyclades. The temperature is supposed to be quite high (close to 100F at shore), so a rigid vest will be unpleasant for the kid. I don't want to make any compromise on safety either.
Lalizas (Welcome to LALIZAS S.A., Immersion suit manufacturer) have mentioned inflatable are possible for kids above 20kg in weight. Considering it's a Greek company, I suppose standards are different but still, this should be EU compliant.
Cormeum, aren't the inflatables supposed to self-inflate at water contact? I realize you can't rely solely on these, but then the parent should be near.
I will take a look at the Mustangs, but am really concerned about the discomfort in such heat. If you visited Greece you know what I'm talking about.
I would suggest there are no inflateable PFDs suitable for very young children. Children,by their nature, run into all kinds of things and don't think twice about it. Inflateable PFDs are easily damaged or punctured or triggered, and then they are worthless.
Better to put them in "waterski" type vests that are more comfy, and available in bright colors with their favorite heros or cartoon characters on them. At least you KNOW that will still work, no matter what the kids get into.
@pdqaltair, read your blog, very impressive setup (and explanation) for the harness. You raise a few very good points. Will keep them in mind but considering I'll be chartering, installing such equipment will be impossible or very time consuming. And being new to this, I'd rather trust the life jacket, at least until I will make my own educated guess.
At what age do you all think an inflatable would be Ok? My older one is 8 years, I assume she will be ok with that.
Don't tell me you all wear rigid jackets. Btw, Pdqaltair aside, do you all wear your lifejackets all the time? Honestly... ;)
Thanks, I'm glad to be here (first day)!

North Carolina, however, had shown signs of correcting its perimeter woes in recent weeks. After allowing its first three ACC opponents to blister the nets by converting 45.2 percent of their 3-points, UNC had held its last five league opponents to 30.4 percent (24-of-79).
That positive trend once again turned negative on Saturday.
Kadji ended the first half the same way he started it, by drilling a 3-pointer on Miami's final possession. The Hurricanes connected of 10 of its 16 3-pointers in the opening 20 minutes as five different players converted from deep.
Point guard Shane Larkin did the most damage, both by shooting lights out (4-of-6 on 3s) and by penetrating and pitching to open teammates.
Miami ultimately shot better from behind the arc (57.7 percent, 15-of-26) than it did from the floor (54.4 percent, 31-of-57). Both percentages represent season-highs by opponents against UNC.
The Hurricanes' 15 3-pointers are the most allowed by North Carolina since William & Mary made 16 in the opening round of the 2010 N.I.T.
"A lot of teams could stand out there with no defense on the court and make 15 out of 26 from three," UNC head coach Roy Williams told reporters during his postgame press conference. "Things were smooth for them and they were hitting on all cylinders."
Larkin finished with a game-high 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including a 5-of-8 effort from long range. Kadji and Durand Scott both connected on three 3-pointers, while Trey McKinney Jones and Rion Brown both added a pair.
Defensive miscues combined with an inability to stop dribble penetration led to Miami's record-tying shooting display.
"They can shoot the ball," Paige said. "They usually have four guys on the court who can really stretch the floor. With Kadji, it makes it difficult because its hard for our big guys to get out to him all of the time and he's the one setting the screen a lot of times. Containing the ball was a struggle for us tonight."
James Michael McAdoo offered similar comments.
"We knew who the shooters were," the sophomore forward said. "A couple of guys on the team really shot the ball well today that we weren't expecting, but that's a credit to them. We've got to be able to make adjustments and we didn't do that."
North Carolina switched to a zone from its standard man defense midway through the first half. After a stop on the first possession, UNC gave up back-to-back threes on open looks.
"We knew their offense can get stagnant sometimes when they go against a zone, but they shot us right out of it," Paige said.
The Tar Heels had crept up to sixth in 3-point field goal percentage defense (34.6) in ACC-only games prior to Saturday's game. That percentage, however, jumped to 38.0 percent after Miami's barrage.

Fisher: "It does. What happens is you get tired, you get fatigued and hot. Your body temperature rises a little bit and then you have a tendency to get distracted and lose your focus. That is the thing I have been most impressed with during the week. We are not out twice a day, per se, but we are coming out and the players stayed focused and that's good. I guess you could say now that they are acclimated to the heat, which is good because the first couple games of the year are going to be warm."
(Does LenDale White still have a chance to play on Friday night even though he has not been practicing?
Fisher: "Yes."
Who will start in LenDale White's place if he can not play?
Fisher: "I haven't determined that yet. We are going to wait and see."
Do you think that your offense will need to adjust to New England's three-four defensive front?
Fisher: "It really won't be any different than it was last week. We don't anticipate any changes."
How has Michael Waddell done in camp?
Fisher: "He has done well. He had been struggling off and on with some leg issues, which is understandable, but he is coming on. He will have a good day of one-on-one practice, then he is obviously soar. Today we backed him back down, but he is coming on. The session that we had over at the stadium, he had an especially good night. You just have to be patient with him."
What are your early thoughts about newcomer Jason Hall?
Fisher: "He is a very productive pass rusher. He was very productive in college; we had a good grade on him. 12.5 sacks in that short of a season is pretty impressive over in NFL Europe."
How long will it take Hall to get up to speed?
Fisher: "It doesn't really matter where he went to school when it comes to learning our defense. He is familiar with the surroundings, he is familiar with the people and he just has to learn the defense as quickly as he can. The thing he has going for him is that he has been playing football all spring. He did have a minor setback. He had minor knee surgery six or eight weeks ago, but he is in good shape so we are going to give him the opportunity to play a little bit."
Will the weather be different than it was last time the Titans played in Foxborough?
Fisher: "It will be significantly warmer then it was last time we were there."
What do you remember about the last game against the Patriots in New England?
Fisher: "We blew an opportunity to win the game and move further on in the playoffs."
What is the importance of this weekend with roster cuts looming?
Fisher: "It is an important weekend. The game itself, but also everything we have done this week and early next week. We are nearing the difficult part of training camp where we are going to have to make some tough decisions. Some people say the final cuts, but this one is going to be tough as well. These guys have basically committed themselves to us and what we are dong and they have done a good job with it."
What can Keith Bulluck do to become an even better player?
Fisher: "Keith takes the same approach every year and that is to get himself in the best possible shape he can before camp starts and then stay in that and stay healthy, and then be productive in the preseason games and that's what he has done. I think he has taken more of role in the defense. I would say more of a leadership role, but more of a curious role to see how things are coming in the different spots and he has been an encouraging guy. He has a good camp and Keith usually makes a big play and scores in the preseason and I would rather we wait and hold those until the regular season. We have one game behind us where he hasn't scored, so we have a chance."
Is it hard to detect slippage in a guy of that quality?
Fisher: "No it is not. It becomes obvious after a certain period of time, and thus far there is no indication that Keith has lost a step at all."

Some say consolidation is the solution
You won't meet too many graduates of North Mac High School. That's because the district is almost brand new.
"We are in our third year of consolidation."
North Mac was formed when two smaller districts couldn't stay afloat on their own. But, Superintendent Merica Cullen says merging came with a price tag of its own.
"Our consolidation costs in the North Mac district are about $900,000 of additional costs that we would not have incurred."
It's for things like new signs, buying new sports uniforms and building new curriculum. Plus, she says it's a tough sell for communities with deep-rooted rivalries.
"You have to resolve things like, where do you play basketball games, where do you play football games, where's graduation?"
Cullen says mergers can, and do, work, but it isn't a quick fix for cash-strapped schools.
"We haven't been consolidated long enough to have completely gotten our financial feet under us."
She says it takes years before there's any savings, but many districts are already struggling to pay the bills. And more cuts are on the way, leaving districts with few options.
"It's a little disconcerting to hear from politicians that you do it to save money. That's not why you do it, because you're not going to save money."
Even though it's not necessarily a savings, Cullen says consolidations are a good thing. They're better for the quality of education and having more students in the district allows the opportunity for more specialty classes.
Illinois has 868 school districts. Two years ago, Governor Quinn proposed cutting that number down to 300. But, not much has happened with that push for consolidation.

The University of California at Berkeley has attracted a surprising amount of attention for announcing that 300 hours of course lectures are being put onto its YouTube channel.
While you might not fancy dozing off to a three-hour physics, biology or chemistry special, the lectures do include a 2005 talk by Google co-founder Sergey Brin on search engine technology.
Check out the interactive biology lecturer. She is just awesome.
It's all free and the collection will be expanded further as part of the university's commitment to "open educational content for the larger community," according to its statement. Berkeley has offered free lecture podcasts since April 2006 and started streaming campus videos as early as 2001.

1986 535i HELP dies and sometimes won't start
Okay, this is my first BMW, I recieved a 1986 535i in a trade, when this thing is on the road it drives great other than a little wobble(different rims that I think need to be balanced). It's a whole new story on start up or in traffic. The car idles a little under 1000 and if I don't rev hard right when I turn the car on and rev every now an then in traffic it'll die and won't start. Sometimes it won't start at all when I put the key to the acc postition the only thing that works is the radio and none of the check/warning lights in the cluster work. Another issue is when I hit bumps or potholes it's like I lose throtle for that second. Now here's the kink the motor is a e34 that was swapped in idk what year and it has the split second ARC2 system installed. Any help would be appreciated! The car is in great condition if only I could get past this tough patch I'd love this car right now it's just a head ache.
Sounds like you should start with the electrical system; fuses, battery and ground connections, etc. Then I'd clean up the IAC and MAF sensor and throttle body. Look for vacuum leaks. Which e34 motor? You might want to post or search in their forum. Transplants always have the same problem; which set of specs to use? If it's well documented you'll likely figure it out. If it's not, there will be some guessing involved. good luck.
Thanks for the help I'll try it out.

The Velvet Kippah
Letter to our Christian Friends, Present and Past
Penning a message of appreciation, prayer, and hope to our Christian friends has become a welcome part of our High Holy Days routine. Somehow, my colleague Rabbi Abraham Cooper and I didn't fully distill our thoughts until Yom Kippur passed, although we had several conversations earlier. The enormous religious tension that observant Jews feel before the Days of Judgment added to the pressure of dealing with some difficult events on the global political scene, so perhaps you can excuse our tardiness.
As we began, we watched as PA President Mahmoud Abbas rise to the UN rostrum to a standing ovation as he set forth the case for global support for a unilaterally declared Palestinian State. Abbas said he came from the Holy Land, where Mohammad ascended to heaven, where Jesus was born, and then went on to lambast Israel for its alleged "ethnic cleansing."
We were incensed that Abbas, as he was staking out the moral claim for the state of Palestine, pointedly omitted any reference to Isaiah or Jeremiah or David or Solomon. His erasure of Jewish history evoked not a murmur of protest from the hundreds of diplomats seated in the cavernous hall of the General Assembly.
Perhaps we should not have been surprised that Abbas continues the Palestinians' serial denial of an inconvenient truth: the continuous 3,000-year Jewish presence in the Holy Land. He has chosen to plant the moral flag of a Palestinian future on the eradication of the Jewish past.
But dear friends, what about you? We did not hear a single Christian voice raised in protest as Jewish history and our values are denied from the world's most prestigious podium. Is there no one concerned about peace in the Middle East, no friend of the Jewish people, with the resolve to rise up to rebut Abbas' malicious revisionism?
For us, Rosh Hashanah was always a holiday we could share. The traditional themes of forgiveness, repentance, and atonement resonated with serious Christians.
What can we share this year?
A great Chassidic leader, the Rebbe of Slonim, taught that the gift of repentance has a darker side. For the most part, we sin because we don't find the strength to resist the allure of something forbidden to us. Once we fall into the grip of our desires, we could mount a "diminished capacity" defense before our Heavenly Father. We could claim that it was humanly impossible to resist. But what about afterward? Months later we have long broken free of the vise-grip of temptation. We can be objective once again, and clear about our commitment to G-d. We ought to be contrite and resolve never to transgress again. If we can't properly repent when we are free of transgression, what does that tell us about our connection with G-d? What excuse can there be? That is a pretty powerful thought. G-d gives us second chances. Failing to use them, however, can be even worse than our first sin.
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many Christian leaders reacted to the role that Christian anti-Semitism had played in creating the climate for the eager participation of so many people in the extermination of Jews. They pledged that future generations would be educated to respect Jews, rather than hate them. They also responded to charges that too many Christian leaders remained silent while six million were slaughtered. (Even the saintly Dietrich Bonheoffer complained that very few Christians reacted, as they should.) They argued, "We had no idea! We didn't know! We couldn't imagine that hatred of Jews runs this deep, and that Man has such a capacity for barbarism. We could not possibly have been expected to take Hitler's rants seriously."

Helga Davis Gets Lost After Leaping in 'The Best for the Worst'
This is the second of five episodes in a series called The Best for the Worst which streams Fridays at 3 pm beginning Mar. 8 on Q2 Music. The Best for the Worst presents readings from The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook and insights from Einstein on the Beach principal Davis herself along with a soundtrack of illustrative, dynamic new music. This week's episode: "Lost After Leaping."
Host Helga Davis writes:
We're back for another week of the best music for the worst-case scenarios. Before we dive into this week's show, let's recap.
First, many of the solutions to the worst-case scenarios seem counter-intuitive and the first rule of thumb is not to panic. Next, you must never underestimate the importance of your mental state on your ability to survive. It is the most important survival skill of all. Finally, the scenario doesn't really matter.
Whether you're confronted by a mountain lion or just trying to figure out what to do with your life, the survival principle remains the same and eventually, you'll have to jump. But, then, what happens when you take that leap of faith, and get lost?
Let's listen…

Wake Up Call: Call Centers Hold Enormous Potential For Brands
Posted by Kerry Bodine on March 7, 2011
- 1152 Recommendations
- 11 comments
Call centers sit on the frontline of customer experience where they provide sales, support, and customer service functions. They're often customers' first — and sometimes their only — human interaction with a company.
Even with conservative estimates, it's easy to make the case that large call centers have customer influence on par with, if not greater than, that of mass advertising campaigns. (Assuming a call center with 3,000 agents and an average of only 50 calls per agent per day, a company has the opportunity to make 1.05 million personal connections each week — and 54.6 million each year.)
Call center interactions have the potential to build a company's brand image, delight people so much that they recommend the brand to friends, and even generate incremental sales.
But bad call center experiences spoil millions of daily opportunities to drive business value.
Despite their reach and potential impact on the business, call centers go largely ignored. Instead, companies are making deeper investments in the Web and other sexy of-the-moment digital service interactions, like mobile and Social Computing. Consumers have noticed — they tell us that phone conversations with live agents just don't stack up to online or in-store experiences. What's worse, Forrester has been tracking US consumer satisfaction with phone conversations across multiple industries since 2007 and 2008, and all but one industry saw their satisfaction rates sink during this time period. Only investment firms bucked the downward trend, and even there, the story isn't a whole lot better: Satisfaction scores have been effectively flat since 2007.
The root cause: Call centers treat agents like slave labor.
Some large call centers hold agents accountable for strict metrics like time-to-answer, average call handle time, talk time, idling time, nonproduction time, and adherence to script — just to name a few. Other call centers literally make agents raise their hands in order to use the bathroom or only permit them to display one photo on their desks. In return for adhering to these draconian practices, agents get paid low wages. Not surprisingly, companies that take this approach count employee tenure in months — not years — and see employees quit to go elsewhere for raises of less than $1 per hour.
Cultural change is the most effective tactic for improving the call center customer experience.
Instead of sinking millions of dollars into call center technology projects, companies like American Express, Esurance, Lands' End, and Zappos.com, which are known for delivering great call center experiences, have focused on creating a customer-centric call center culture.
My recent research found one thing that contributes to a customer-centric call center culture more than anything else: the agents' passion for delivering outstanding customer service. From retail and financial services to high-tech firms, top call center managers agree that technical knowledge and previous call center experience shouldn't be prerequisites for employment. In fact, some of the companies we spoke to specifically look for candidates who don't have call center jobs on their resumes in order to avoid undesirable habits and attitudes learned elsewhere. Instead, these hiring managers look for candidates who have worked for retail stores, ski lodges, cruise lines, supermarkets, and nursing homes — essentially any position with a service focus. Then they ask for examples of how candidates have handled tricky customer interactions — or about great service experiences they've had from the customer side.
For companies that have been ignoring their call centers or find themselves mired in a factory mindset, a cultural shift will mean big changes. In addition to overhauling their hiring practices, call center execs will need help developing new training programs and revising internal incentives and metrics to encourage customer-centric behavior.
How does your company's call center customer experience stack up? Is it a key component of your overall customer experience strategy?

Schwab - "Talk to Chuck"
Comment from Casey Cheshire (not verified) on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 09:15
This graphic is an excellent demonstration of what I've 'felt' in recent calls I've made to companies. One change that stands out is Schwab. Your article accurately describes how I've felt during and after calls with them. At first, I was taken about by their new "Talk to Chuck" cavalier slogan- but it turns out they mean it. The agents *do* want to talk to you, and are very happy to do so. From your chart, the downward shift in call quality only further highlights star improvers. Maybe Schwab took a page out of the Zappos book?
I haven't talked to Chuck myself...
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 16:09
I'm always on the lookout for companies that delivery great call center customer experiences. And, I'm even more thrilled to hear about a customer experience that lives up to the promises made by marketing! I'll make a note to reach out to them for a future report. Thanks!
Eventually, brands will spot
Comment from ParentingExtra DotCom (not verified) on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 09:25
Eventually, brands will spot the pattern:
Customer Complaint to Call Center
--> Call Center *Drone* provides bad Call Center Experience
--> Customer Blogs or Complains to Twitter Followers
--> Instant Brand Damage on twitter.
Good point @ParentingExtra. I
Comment from Casey Cheshire (not verified) on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 09:36
Good point @ParentingExtra. I would add that even adding in "excellent social media response" into the mix still won't repair the damage done. It's like putting a band aid on a garden hose.
Thank you, Twitterers!
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 16:18
Without the throngs of social media users voicing their opinions every day, I'm not sure that we'd currently be seeing such a large uptick in executives that are interested in improving their customer experiences (in the call center and across other channels). Long live the groundswell!
More satisfied customers is good, but...
Comment from Jeff MacDonald on Tue, 03/08/2011 - 14:31
Could the adoption of alternate channels like IVR, and other sexy of-the-moment digital service... for «easier» interactions be impacting negatively customer satisfaction over the phone? Let's say customers choosing to interact with agents are now trying to solve more complicated problems. They are booking flights and hotel rooms on their smart phonse but are still using call centers most likely when the company screws-up... Could they be more critical about their satisfaction score because of the complexity or the nature of these interactions ?
you raise a great point
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Thu, 03/17/2011 - 19:08
hi Jeff,
It's true -- we often pick up the phone only after other channels have failed us. So while I'd expect satisfaction going into the call would be low, I'd hope that satisfaction after the call would be higher that it is. Why? Because phone agents (in theory) should be able to solve even the most complex problem AND create some sort of emotional/personal connection -- and I think the combination of those two things would increase customer sat, even for callers who might have preferred to interact via another channel. The fact that customer sat is so low (and falling) makes me think that agents aren't effectively solving callers' problems and/or aren't making that connection.
On a somewhat separate point, consumers' expectations for great customer experiences are being constantly raised by brands like Apple and Zappos and by new (sexy of-the-moment) technologies that enable richer interactions. I'd bet this is having some influence on customer satisfaction with phone agent interactions. A bad experience is more obvious (and irritating) when you've got an amazing experience to compare it to.
What do you think?
Maybe multi-channel is also to blame ?
Comment from Jeff MacDonald on Fri, 03/25/2011 - 10:06
I agree and your article is insightful. Phone agents should be able to solve complex problem on the first call AND create some sort of emotional connection to drive customer sat. That is easier when a customer joyfully calls you to book a trip to Hawaii. However, when the call is caused by the company or the customer believes that it is, then it's a bigger challenge for the agent. Think of a high bill issue or a reservation mistake… Could the overall rating of the interaction be inferior?
Acme answered in 10 seconds, no crazy IVR menu in the way, Bob was really nice and he did a great job to solve my problem. My overall satisfaction about the call is : average (not top box). I wish I didn't have to call Acme at all.
I am wondering if customer satisfaction is sinking (or flat) also because complex calls are proportionally increasing in the call center channel. Certainly, this bias was always with us and our customer satisfaction score were comparable when the phone was taking care of anything and everything. Maybe multi-channel is also to blame here and Call Centers will need to deliver an enhanced customer experience just to preserve their score.
Halo effects + complexity
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Sat, 03/26/2011 - 11:32
Great points, Jeff. I would bet that there are, in fact, halo effects around the type of interaction (booking a trip to Hawaii vs. resolving a billing issue) and overall channel preference (web vs. phone) for most companies. And given our ever growing options for self service, I'd also bet that the complexity of most service calls is increasing. In some industries, like utilities, these issues might be especially problematic.
Interestingly, the folks at Zappos told me that customers who connect with the Zappos call center give the company higher NPS scores than those who shop online. So there's got to be something about the customer experience that can help companies overcome both of those hurdles.
Yes i does affect the brand
Comment from Chris Shetler (not verified) on Fri, 09/23/2011 - 06:13
Yes i does affect the brand reputation and customer satisfaction vote it, if a call center is able to resolve the query in quick time and fulfilling all callers requirement as per his/her desire.
Chris Shetler
Nice points you have
Comment from Esther Selenne (not verified) on Wed, 11/23/2011 - 20:36
Nice points you have mentioned here. I totally agree in what you said that Cultural change is the most effective tactic for improving the call center customer experience. I think still the best techniques for customer service representatives or call center agents is the skill of listening and adjusting to whatever culture they are encountering with. Thanks for posting this anyway :)

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
This is actually a common problem with these trucks. Most likely it is not the control head. There are actuators (motors) that turn the doors inside the a/c box to change the temp. If the control head sees that the actuator has gone to far (also known as over travel) it defaults to the hot position. There is a reprogram that can be done at a dealership that should fix this. You would need a GM Tech-II scanner to get the codes from the a/c module. Here is the GM service bulletin for this concern.
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
This condition may be caused by the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) actuators that may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling may cause a clicking or ticking noise.
An overtravel of the HVAC system control doors may cause one or more of the concerns listed above. If an overtravel occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and the door will go to a preset default position. When a system door defaults, that door will stay at the default position until the DTC is cleared. After the DTC is cleared, the door will operate properly until the overtravel condition re-occurs.
The following table lists the HVAC system doors and the DTC associated with it.
System Door
Overtravel DTC
Air inlet door (recirculation door)
Left temperature door
Right temperature door
Front system mode door
Technicians are to perform the normal diagnostic procedures in SI for these concerns. If diagnostics show that the HVAC system door(s) travel below 5 counts (out of the lower range) or above 250 counts (out of the upper range), then update the software calibrations in the HVAC control module. The new calibrations were made available to dealerships as part of TIS2000 incremental satellite update version 2.5, which was broadcast to dealers in February 2006.
The new calibrations have been updated to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition, the actuator hunting and the ticking/clicking noises. The new calibrations effectively eliminate the codes listed above, the default position of the doors associated with the DTCs and opens up the feedback position value. The new calibrations should not be used unless the vehicle has one or more of the customer concerns listed above or a DTC listed above has been set. The new calibrations will not correct any other DTC or A/C system performance concern.
Most of the time it would be either one or the other, not at the same time. One other thing you can try is wiggling the wires on the connector at the right side instrument panel. There is a panel on the right side of the instrument panel in the same place as the fuse panel on the left side. Remove this panel and you will see a black junction box with several pugs in it. The plug that is in the lowest position is for the actuators. With the truck running and the a/c on, wiggle the wires on this plug. If wiggling these makes the temp change, then you need to adjust the terminal tension on this connector. This can be done by unplugging it and use a small pick to bent the inside of each female terminal to make its opening smaller.
If this is not the case I would get it reprogramed, or at least have it scanned for codes and let me know what they are.
I hope this helps.

Bark Collar vs Idiots.
We have a bark collar with the remote control, it was given to us and its been sitting on the fridge un touched for about a month now, a few days ago my fiance and i packed up the gang and decided to take them on a long hike leaving his kids 14 and 12 at home (which is not un common for them)..anyways, we get home to find them on the floor rolling around in hysterics (laughing) and the 12 year old is holding his i phone going "omg you gotta watch this vid" , so i start watching it and there is the 14 year old wearing the bark collar and standing at the top of the stairs, well the words "yo you owe me that oh henry" come out of his mouth and the 12 year old cranks the remote control to 8 and presses the shock button and the older one gets blown clean down the stairs, due to the shock of being shocked so hard, he hit the door and burst out laughing. I cant even begin to describe how mad i was that they actually decided wearing the shock collar was a good idea, and i cant believe im going to have to start hiding it. They thought it was the funniest thing going though. I gotta tell ya the video footage of the whole thing had me in the bathroom secretly laughing my butt off.
Oh man, I had the same reaction. Stunned silence than just plain out laughter. What goofballs, I hope they learned a lesson :)
That's too funny! OMG, kids at that age crack me up. I remember telling the neighbor's kids (12 & 13) that they weren't allowed to run around my back yard jumping off my picnic table. OK - so they stopped that and started jumping off my deck, which was twice as high! It was hard to play the stern adult sending them home when I was busting a gut inside. LOL!
Boys will be boys! :D
Reminds me of the time my son was that age. Him and his friends decided to record themselves spraying each other in the eyes with pepper spray. :D and also the time they decided to spray Clay Aiken with water from their jet skis because he was yelling at them "do you know who I am" . He called the cops on them and we had to pick them up from the police station in Laughlin. Boy, were they in trouble for the rest of vacation.
Yep, boys can be idiots sometimes, I'm sure its the testosterone .lol
somedays, If I could, I would use on my kids for sure ... LOL,
You should post the video. Also who the **** eats Oh Henrys now days?
4 peices of stale bread,
5 microwaved hotdogs
cheese from yester year (pizza pizza jalapeno type)
A whole package of roasted seaweed sheets
and half a bottle of ketchup with motts apple sauce dip (to give the ketchup a hint of fiesta)
He actually went back for a few baby bell cheeses afterwards,
He has zero standards.
Best part is, he is not mine :) so i get the luxury of not bitching at his poor diet like his mom would have, i get to sit back and watch him eat things like peanut butter dipped sardines and tofu with tuna,
Honestly 14 and he eats like a maniac, plays guitar like Hendrix. I love the kid, i caught him nuking green tripe one day (a cube he pulled out of the freezer) i asked what he was thinking and his response was "you hide the good stuff, that was hidden"
Tofu and tuna , maybe since tofu doesn't really have a taste, but my god, tuna and peanut butter, that kid must have an iron clad stomach lol:eek: and no taste buds haha

Your Commissary – It's Worth the Trip!
By Kevin L. Robinson, DeCA public affairs specialist
FORT LEE, Va. - Lauren P. "Larry" Bands, former director of accounting for the Defense Commissary Agency, has been named the agency's chief financial executive. He succeeds Pamela F. Conklin, who accepted a Senior Executive Service position with the Defense Contract Management Agency in August.
DeCA will begin recruitment actions for its next director of accounting immediately. Cynthia L. Morgan, DeCA's chief of the accounting compliance and reporting division, is currently serving as acting director of accounting.
As chief financial executive, Bands is responsible for all financial aspects of the agency's retail sales and operating budgets. He also is the agency spokesperson on financial issues and DeCA's liaison with the Department of Defense, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the Government Accountability Office, the financial staffs of the military departments and retail industry representatives.
"With Larry's track record in financial management, we are confident he will excel in his new position," said Thomas E. Milks, DeCA's acting director and CEO. "His expertise will help us make the budget decisions necessary to maintain the value of the commissary benefit."
Bands entered federal service in 1982 as an operations research analyst with the Army Troop Support Agency at Fort Lee. In 1984, he accepted a job in the same capacity with the Combined Arms Support Command at Fort Lee, and served there until he joined DeCA in 1991 as a program analyst. In 1995, he became a budget analyst for the agency.
In 2001, Bands moved on to become the budget officer at the Defense Supply Center Richmond, Va., and eventually became deputy director and comptroller for financial operations at DSCR from 2004 to 2006. He returned to DeCA in 2006 to become the director of accounting for the headquarters resource management directorate.
Bands holds a bachelor's degree in business finance from Virginia Tech at Blacksburg, Va., a master's degree in public administration from Virginia Commonwealth University at Richmond, Va., and is a certified defense financial manager.
In addition to his duties at DeCA, Bands is serving his second term (first one was in 1995) as president of the Southside Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Military Comptrollers.
About DeCA: The Defense Commissary Agency operates a worldwide chain of commissaries providing groceries to military personnel, retirees and their families in a safe and secure shopping environment.

While the Smartphone platform shares many features with its bigger brother the Pocket PC, it differs somewhat in its file management functionality. By default a Smartphone does not include a File Explorer application and there are no common file dialog boxes available to the developer. If your application involves opening data files you will need some method of browsing and selecting data files. Another consideration for Smartphone developers is that these devices generally have less on-board storage memory than a basic Pocket PC. Depending on your application you can use either removable storage cards or retrieve data via the mobile network.
This article will examine some of the considerations when building file based applications for the Smartphone platform with managed code. This will include some code examples you can use to build in file system browsing to your .NET Compact Framework applications.
The System.IO Namespace
The .NET Compact Framework contains a powerful set of classes for working with the file system. These include file and directory manipulation and file reading and writing. Using a combination of these classes it is possible to navigate the folders in the file system, list files and determine their properties. The following sections will look at some uses of these classes however, in this section I will demonstrate some direct uses.
Special folders
On any Windows based systems there are a number of special folders used by the system, the exact location of which can vary between systems and locales. For example many applications will need to use the user's documents folder. The Win32 API includes a function to determine the full path of a special folder. This is not directly implemented in the .NET Compact Framework but can be used via Platform Invoke.
public static string GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder folder) { //buffer to fill with path StringBuilder path = new StringBuilder(MaxPath); //pass stringbuilder and folder identifier to api function if(!Convert.ToBoolean(SHGetSpecialFolderPath(IntPtr.Zero, path, (int)folder, 0))) { throw new Exception("Cannot get folder path!"); } return path.ToString(); } [DllImport("coredll", EntryPoint="SHGetSpecialFolderPath", SetLastError=false)] internal static extern int SHGetSpecialFolderPath(IntPtr hwndOwner, StringBuilder lpszPath, int nFolder, int fCreate);
File Attributes
File class available in the
System.IO namespace in the .NET Compact Framework is a subset of that available on the full desktop .NET Framework. One of the key differences is the lack of methods to get and set file attributes. However this does not mean the functionality is absent from the .NET Compact Framework. As with many cases in the full .NET Framework there is more than one way to access specific functionality, to keep the .NET Compact Framework runtime small many of these duplications are excluded. Therefore to retrieve the file attributes in the .NET Compact Framework one must use the
FileInfo class instead. When retrieving files to display to the user, those marked as
Hidden will probably need to be excluded from the user interface. Therefore a
FileInfo instance can be created for the file in question to retrieve its attributes:
//get info on file FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(filename); //don't add hidden files to the list if((fi.Attributes & FileAttributes.Hidden) != FileAttributes.Hidden) { //code for working on file goes here }
Storage Cards
To both Pocket PC and Smartphone devices Storage Cards are very important, but there is no consistent method of addressing the storage card on the device. A further complication is that several Pocket PC devices include multiple memory card slots. Therefore if you are working with files on removable storage you need a way to determine the names of the storage cards at runtime. While this is possible by Platform Invoking a couple of API functions (
FindNextFlashCard) this is actually not necessary because it is possible directly with the functionality available in the
System.IO namespace.
Because all storage cards are addressed as subfolders of the root directory "\" and have the Directory and Temporary attributes we can easily enumerate all the top level folders, check their attributes and return an array of those which meet this criteria. The code sample below shows a function to do just that:
public static string[] GetStorageCardNames() { ArrayList scards = new ArrayList(); DirectoryInfo rootDir = new DirectoryInfo(@"\"); foreach(DirectoryInfo di in rootDir.GetDirectories() ) { //if directory and temporary if ( (di.Attributes & attrStorageCard) == attrStorageCard ) { //add to collection of storage cards scards.Add(di.Name); } } return (string[])scards.ToArray(typeof(string)); }
Browsing for files
Few applications for the Smartphone are traditionally file based, instead offering a list of specific types of objects, these could include for example Contacts, Voice Recordings, Music etc. Because the on-board memory of the device is quite restrictive (especially with media files such as audio, video and photos, the user will probably use Storage Cards to provide further capacity. Because these might be shared with other devices such as digital cameras or PDAs we should not make assumptions about the location of files on such a card. It is therefore necessary in some scenarios to provide the user with a mechanism to browse the file system.
The .NET Compact Framework includes a common dialog for selecting a file to be opened, however this dialog is not available for the Smartphone platform. The full .NET Framework offers a
FolderBrowserDialog as a quick method to choose a specific folder, this is not present on the .NET Compact Framework at all.
In this article a solution will be presented which uses a two staged approach to choosing a file offering the greatest flexibility and making best use of the available screen space. Rather than a single dialog we will present two complementary dialogs to be used for browsing for a folder, and selecting a file within a specific folder.
FolderBrowserDialog is a custom form which is based around a full screen
TreeView control. This is used to populate a graphical representation of the file system hierarchy on the device. Because crawling through the entire file system is resource intensive and would introduce a long delay in the loading process for the dialog the tree is instead populated dynamically. As the user navigates the tree, its subfolders are enumerated and added to the tree. Final selection is achieved using the
MenuBar control which uses the two soft keys on the device. The left key is used to provide an affirmative selection; the right has a menu with other options such as the ability to create a new folder.
Figure 1 - FolderBrowserDialog
With the folder level navigation complete an interface is required for selecting from a group of specific file types in that folder. Like the
FolderBrowserDialog this has a very simple interface, this time using a
ListView control to present a list of files of the specified type. Types are specified using a
Filter property in the same format as the standard
OpenFileDialog on other platforms. Again the directional pad and two soft keys are the primary means of navigating the list.
Figure 2 - OpenFileDialog
The wrapper class
OpenFileDialog combines these two separate forms into a single callable dialog. This defaults to listing files in the user's documents folder and allows them to change folders from a soft key menu option.
Sample Code
The sample code solution which accompanies this article contains a basic text viewing application which uses the
OpenFileDialog as constructed above. The solution includes the full source code for the dialogs used which implements a number of the file techniques discussed previously.
While the Smartphone platform doesn't provide the same range of common dialogs available on other platforms for file operations it is relatively easy to make use of the functionality in the
System.IO namespace to build this functionality into your application. The sample code included with this article has shown how it is possible to integrate these file system concepts into reusable dialogs for the Smartphone platform.

The Weekend – I can still be shocked
This weekend was a busy one. I had class on Saturday morning at 8 AM. Ran through my cleaning list yesterday morning so that I would be able to watch the Falcons game. Meh, to the Falcons. Yay, the smell of bleach and Pine Sol.
Two events happened between Friday and Saturday that I found incredibly shocking even though in the grand scheme of life they are small. The first I posted a picture of on Instagram and honestly, I feel like I have to tell the story so you won't think that's a normal Friday night for me anymore.
On Friday, I had been making calls and then came home because I had two chapters to read for Saturday's class. B called and was going over a list of things with me and I mentioned I wanted to go out for A DRINK. TWO MAX. Famous last words, right? When he finally got home we went over to the local dive bar. The only reason we frequent this place is because its the only place to go near the neighborhood that is close. We met up with some other attorney friends of B's who also made the unfortunate decision to live in this area of town.
I was sitting there going why is place so incredibly packed. There was one waitress for a large bar of people. Even the cook was running food and drinks. It was ridiculous. Turns out there was going to be a large, birthday party for three women taking place that night. One of the women works part time at the bar as a bartender to help pay for extras for her kids.
The place was getting more and more rowdy. This makes me nervous when places start to get a bit to crazy. The bar was running a karaoke night as well. So you can only imagine what this was like. At one point I looked up from my conversation to see this starting.
I thought maybe it was a drunk patron trying to be funny. But no. It was the real thing. A male stripper. I just about died. I couldn't stop covering my eyes then looking up then covering my eyes again. Everyone at our table kept asking me why I had never seen a male stripper before. Hadn't I ever been to bachelorette party? No, my friends and I did not have male strippers at our bachelorette parties. No, I've never been to the Coronet Club. No, I don't find this attractive.
THE GUY TOOK IT ALL THE WAY DOWN. It was just like that Channing Tatum movie. Except not. He had tribal tattoos. Nasty.
There I was standing in my Elie Tahari dress and sweater surrounded by women in suburban club attire, dying. Truly, dying. I took a shower as soon as I got home.
Here's what I learned from all this. Anything can happen in your local dive and yes, even I can still be shocked every once in awhile. My mind goes down many wrong places and this event made me wonder if the bar needed to have the food inspector called anonymously.
My next small thing involves my car. I drive a Toyota Prius. It has consistently had a left tail light issue since I've owned it. The light always goes out. I've had several discussions with the Toyota dealership about this issue. Diagnostics have been run, nothing has been found to be wrong. My favorite part of this issue through the years is being told that the replacement lights are anywhere from $75-$200 depending on who I talked too. I was also told that it wasn't a light that could be easily changed by myself or a husband/boyfriend/fiance. I was told multiple times that a service person needed to change it. I was able to talk these people into not charging me a few times but this minor issues has always turned into a "smile big/wearing something low cut" issue.
I guess, my own personal bad habit of throwing money at the problem in the past I took these people at these people at their word. I would not do something stupid like this now. My attitude now is I will find a solution and fix it myself. Cars can be tricky though. I don't know much about them and just didn't think. Instead, I had kept the old, useless mindset.
I had mentioned this issue to B who said he thought I was being lied too and he would do some research. Turns out changing that tail light is similar to changing a light bulb in a lamp. The tail light also cost $4.95 at an auto parts store.
It really annoyed me that I had gotten taken in the past. I had gotten taken that bad but I had spent a lot of time and effort trying not to get taken and talk my way out of a car dealerships BS. When all I needed to do is Google. Just like I do everything else. Research and find a solution to the problem.
Lessons learned.
3 Responses to "The Weekend – I can still be shocked"
Google almost always has the answer.
I've been in similar situations (not a stripper, just a very uncomfortable, risque one) at bars and even friends' houses where I just had to leave. I might be a prude, but I generally don't find people getting naked entertaining, especially when it's someone I wouldn't normally want to see naked.
I've never been one of those stripper gals, but I was in a bar one time when there was (unbeknownst to me) a male revue. Those scars run deep.
The title of this post cracked me up!! I have been to a few strip clubs but have never seen a male stripper. Too funny!

Heater Fan wont shut off!!! :(
Look here on this post on a diffrent forum explains my problem so i don't have to waste time typing it out again.
If anyone has any helpful info on this please do not hesitate to help! thanks! :thumbsup:
sounds like the sequencer that controls the fan and electric heating elements are sticking causing your unit to not shut down. simple fix
If its such a simple fix tell me how to do it!! please!! thanks! :laughing:
Because the unit outside works fine ( at least i think so ) but the big thing in the crawlspace under the house is what wont shut off even with the outside a/c unit off. ;_;
Sorry im not an expert at terms of hvac components obviously, im just a mear resident of this house. Otherwise if i was an expert i wouldnt be here asking these questions now would I? :laughing:
Do you have a heat pump or a furnace?
A Heat Pump.
Are you sure the fan switch on the subbase isn't in the "on" position?
and if your talking about the "g" wire no its not touching anything as of now and it the utilites fan would still run.
Yes the air handler in your crawlspace is where your seqencer is located. I know you would like to save a few bucks and that is why you are on here, but may i recomend that you call a pro if you are not sure what you are doing, could save yourself alot of hassle that way.
I probably will just call someone to come out to fix or the least get a free estimate, because I'd rather not electrocute myself for being stupid and not shutting something off the right way and poking around in something high voltage like that. :laughing:
Ah the one thing i hate about some service calls is some companys do charge like 50 bucks just to come to your house and say "yup its broken, and its gonna cost ya $3,000 to fix it." I usually faint when i hear that part. :laughing:
But seriously it shouldn't cost much right? I live in Raleigh, NC.
I'm gonna go do a search for a company that offers free estimates before they do any work online right now. I may post back again. If i don't then the problem has probably been fixed.

Alachua County Commissioners Discuss Pole Barn Replacement Options
Published January 15th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - The sale of the former McGurn YMCA facility in northeast Gainesville has been finalized, giving that building a new "lease on life".
The sale was completed late last month. The facility was sold to a mother and daughter team who plan on turning it into a charter school. But before the school can officially open, the owners say they need a variety of permits from the city of Gainesville, including a land-use change and a rezoning permit.
Abbitt wrote a letter to the city commission on Tuesday, asking them to speed up the permitting process so the school can be ready for its planned opening in July. Abbitt says construction and renovation of the former "Y" complex should begin within the next few months, including filling in the swimming pool.
The old McGurn complex has been sitting idle ever since the North Central Florida YMCA first put it up for sale after falling into financial hardship.

It NEVER happens! I stood around waiting for 45 minutes for my mail. I left in disgust and without my mail.Tracking
numbers are a JOKE! A waste of money. I had a package sit static for 5
days and when I filed a report the post office I mailed it from called
me to tell me there is nothing they can do! Absolute stupidity!!
tracking showed the last location, wouldn't you start from there? why
send it to a postal employee idiot in the sending post office?? DONT
WASTE YOUR MONEY!!The machine in the lobby malfunctions all the time,
it doesn't spit out your postage, this happened to me on a Saturday and
of course no one around to help. This has been reported multiple times and is still happening.NONE
of the employees know what the policies or procedures are. This was
demonstrated by 3 employees I spoke to about a problem and I got 3
different explanations. There is no training on these issues.My PO Box
is up for renewal, I don't think I am going to renew. TOO MANY PROBLEMS
