With a few cold spells here and there, it seems like the warm weather is finally here to stay at Bucknell. Even though the thermometer is slowly rising, I'm finding myself not ready to step out of my pants into shorts. In fact, when summer comes, I never ditch my favorite jeans. Whether it is below freezing or breaking 100 degrees, I am always looking for great ways to wear my jeans all year-round.
This Fashionista pulled off a perfect spring outfit by cuffing her light-washed jeans, which though amazing year-round, really brighten an outfit for the warmer seasons. The best part about them is how they get better with age. Natural fading in light wash makes the jeans look unique without looking old. By cuffing her jeans, this Fashionista was able to make her J.Crew black booties appropriate for summer. Wearing cuffed jeans is one of my personal favorite trends because it helps take your best winter pieces into summer. This is a look many that fashion icons, such as Rachel Bilson, turn to.
Another thing this Fashionista did so well was layering a green mesh rag & bone long sleeve shirt over a lace cami. Mixing mesh and lace may seem like an unlikely combo, but done correctly can give an outfit extra flair. Our Fashionista let just the bottom of the lace cami peak through adding a flirty effect to the outfit. Olive green is a great earth tone neutral that will never be out of season. Pairing it with the black gave the outfit more some edge.
By collecting keepsakes from abroad, this Fashionista layered a Marc Jacobs watch with some of her favorite jewelry from her travels. This is a great way to add your own personal experiences into an outfit. Not only that, but they make for a great conversation starter.
Don't be afraid to wear your favorite jeans this summer. As the weather gets even hotter feel free to swap out the booties with your favorite sandals, all while keeping your pants cuffed. This will give your outfit a fun beachy look.

RPS: Id like to start with the most important question. Why does Geralt have a beard now?
Michał Platkow-Gilewski: [laughs] Thats a tough question. When it came to redesigning the character, we made a survey of the company. We asked all the girls here, whats the sexiest thing about the guys in the office? They all said the beards are the sexiest. So we came up with this breakthrough design change and added the beard. No, just joking. A few months have passed. Geralt is on the road, you could say?
Jakub Rokosz: Right now hes pretty much a man left on his own, after what happened in Witcher 2. He basically wanted to get a little alone time. I think the beard signifies that, that he spent some time in the wild. He didnt really have to worry about looking good for the ladies out there.
RPS: Thats interesting. I think a lot of games just treat quests as a checklist of things to do, and if you dont do them, well, you just didnt do them. It sounds like youre focusing on having ramifications for inaction or indecision.
Michał Platkow-Gilewski: Yes. I dont believe in a structure like A-B-C-D-E-F-G, youre finished. The main storyline needs to be connected with everything thats going on in the world, to a bigger and smaller extent. Of course, you just go out to somewhere in the woods, in the wilderness, and you can focus on monster-hunting. Maybe you as a gamer just love to hunt monsters, like the Witchers are supposed to do. You can focus on the undead if you want. So you can do whatever you want. For me, this is the definition of an RPG. Do whatever you want.

Sailboats On The Horizon
Driving down Galveston's seawall everyday desensitizes the locals after a certain period of time. Come tourist season and visitors will pack the beach and embrace what most tend to forget. A few months later when the weather has cooled as much as possible along the Gulf, the locals return, gazing into the blue waters. There in the distance, hundreds of sailboats, racing along the horizon.

Time Schedule:
James Alan Diers
Seattle Campus
Focuses on social, economic, and political problems from an organizer's perspective, and strategies, tactics, and skills necessary to engage in organizing activities. Emphasizes principles common to community, electoral, union, and issue organizing. Addresses why people organize, how organizing works, and what it takes to be a good organizer.
Class description
Community organizing has proven to be an effective vehicle for mutual support, neighborhood revitalization, and social change. Through direct-action organizing, low-income neighbors and communities of color are demanding justice from external forces. Meanwhile, practitioners of asset-based community development are strengthening their communities by mapping and mobilizing internal resources.
The course will explore these two models of community organizing and their variations. Through case studies found in readings, lectures, videos, slides, and their own experience and research, students will gain inspiration about the change that is possible when individulas come together as a community, build democratic organizations, mobilize their resources, and demand justice. The students will also acquire tools and learn skills that will better equip them to work as organizers and leaders for social change in their careers and in their daily lives.

also, the name was suggested/given to me by okcupid. i recently had a friend tell me that it may suggest i'm selling...well...myself. so, just to be clear, taco ≠ vag (to me, not sure about my friends, but no, and gross)
but i read. a lot. i hope you do too.
fresh, non-sketchy spinach
cayenne pepper
hot showers
the beach
how to fit in a run, bike or swim.
also, I don't entirely know how the 'matching' works, nor do I think okc is made of magic, but as I haven't answered a ton of the okc questions, and the ones I have tend to be about pretty strongly held political/moral/ethical views of mine. So if we're listed as like a 50% match, we're not going to get along, truly.

Parks & Trails
The Canyonlands
Canyonlands Map
The Canyonlands is Lakeway's most extensive trail network and is comprised of a 20-acre tract at Rough Hollow Cove, a major inlet at Lake Travis. It is named for the scenic canyon running through it. The canyon scenery from the overlooks is breathtaking and in late fall, the foliage is spectacular with shades of yellow, gold, brown, orange and red. Early spring brings a riot of color as the new leaves sprout out on the deciduous trees in the canyon.
Hiking and mountain biking are permitted in the Canyonlands. Trail signs along the way include QR codes. This technology enables hikers to use their smart phones to access information about their location on the trail.
A Gift To The City
Canyonlands Park was made possible by a generous gift to the City from the Lakeway Municipal Utilities District. The donation of this area was one of the most important factors in Texas Parks and Wildlife's decision to award the City a $500,000 grant toward the construction of Swim Center Park in 2002.
Under the provisions of the grant, the Canyonlands must remain a natural area. Nature trails, benches and other limited improvements are permitted, however, no major improvements in the Canyonlands tract itself are permitted.
Overview Of The Canyonlands
Friends of the Parks, a local volunteer organization, has built an access trail, a rim trail and a trail into the canyon, as well as the Mt. Lakeway Trail. The trailhead to the Canyonlands is on the west side of Trophy Drive across from Swim Center Park. Parking is available along Trophy Drive and at Swim Center Park, 3103 Lakeway Blvd. Entrance to the Canyonlands is the .25 mile access trail, which crosses city property and Lakeway Municipal Utilities District property.
Once on the Canyonlands property itself, the Rim Trail winds back and forth to take the hiker to the spectacular overlooks and vistas of the canyon. Soon the Canyon Trail descends into the lower elevations. It meets up with the Pond Trail where one will find two small ponds that are usually dry in the summer months. In winter and spring when the ponds are full, migrating ducks can be seen stopping to rest.
Visiting the Canyonlands
During especially wet months, walk softly along the Rim Trail and listen for the tumbling water in the creek below. As the sound of the water grows louder, you'll find a roaring waterfall beckoning you to go deeper into the canyon, below the lower pond. Be careful in wet weather as the trail can be slick and dangerous.
The Rim Trail and its grand vistas are easily navigated with minimal physical exertion. The Canyon Trail requires greater effort as it is narrower and presents steeper inclines. However, this trail is well graded, marked and easily conquered. The Mt. Lakeway Trail will challenge even the most experienced hikers and riders, but the views are well worth the effort.
No special hiking equipment is necessary on any of the trails. You are advised to wear good hiking shoes and to take special care on the steeper sections. In the warmer months, carrying water with you is a good idea. Dogs are permitted and leashes are required. Remember to take a poop bag for your pet!
Always take special care in the Canyonlands. Do not move rocks or boulders near the trail as the rocks are positioned to control erosion. Enjoy the views and please stay well back from cliffs and overlooks.

Making better choices
When Jenade first arrived at our Verulam Family Home, he was a teenager with a challenging attitude. 'My way was being a rebel and going against everything, but I was wrong,' he explains.
'Girls & Boys Town taught me that not everything is about being top dog and that if you strive to succeed, you can change your life.'
Jenade has also realised that friends – and people in general – can be a positive or negative influence.
However, your own behaviour is a choice. 'I appreciate that people have helped me become a better person. I'm leaving at the end of the year and I won't forget what I've learned,' adds Jenade.
'I am truly grateful to the team at Girls & Boys Town. Thanks a million!' Jenade has learned valuable lessons at Girls & Boys Town – and skills that will serve him well for the rest of his life.
We wish him every success in the future.

TARKIO, Mo. (AP) — Five Truman University Students who thought they were going to spend the summer measuring hog odors in northern Missouri have lost their jobs because of a long running dispute between the hog farm operators, nearby residents and state politicians.
The agriculture-science students were planning to respond to complaints about odors from several Premium Standard Farms operations by using scientific equipment to measure odors and record the results. At the urging of an environmental group, they were hired by Attorney General Chris Koster to help determine if Premium Standard was working to alleviate the odors.
But just before the program began Troy Paino, Truman State president, cut the jobs, The Kansas City Star reported.
"We came to the conclusion that by having our students participate, there was a risk they could be brought into the middle of ongoing legal disputes between PSF and the attorney general and citizen groups," Paino said. "We didn't think that would be in the best interest of the students."
Residents in northern Missouri have complained for two decades about the odor coming from Premium Standard farms. The company has been sued several times and paid millions in judgments. Last year, after Premium Standard had lost several nuisance lawsuits, Koster gave the company two more years to fix the problem.
As part of that agreement, Premium Standard said it would install odor-reducing technology in its 365 barns in northern Missouri during the next two years.
In March, a citizens group, the Citizens Legal Environmental Action Group, suggested to Koster that he employ some Truman State students to monitor the odor complaints.
"We have a law in place that is pretty decent, but we don't have the funds in place to enforce it," said Rolf Christen, a farmer who is part of the citizens group, which first sued Premium Standard in the 1990s because of odors. "This was not done to condemn Premium Standard. This was done to prove the status of the situation."
Koster's office offered Truman State a $20,000 grant to fund the program and pay the students. After the students were trained, the protocol for the testing was determined and a hotline for complaints was in place, Koster's office notified Premium Standard of its plans as a professional courtesy, spokeswoman Nancy Gonder said.
Shortly after that, Jewell Patek, Premium Standard's lobbyist, told some legislators and the school that the company was concerned about the program. Then Paino met with area legislators and canceled the students' work, saying the benefit didn't outweigh the potential risk.
Holly Boxley, Premium Standard's spokeswoman, said the corporation would defer to Sen. Brian Munzlinger, a Williamsburg Republican who had supported Premium Standard in the legislature, or Truman State officials for comment.
Munzlinger said he felt bad for the students but he believes that the Department of Natural Resources or other professionals should monitor the odor complaints. He questioned whether the students had been adequately trained for the responsibility.
"I don't think the university had thought all the way through this," Munzlinger said, adding that he didn't want the students to become involved in any legal action.
Supporters of the student program said it would have been effective in determining whether an odor problem still existed at Premium Standard operations.
"DNR has funding challenges that affect a combination of manpower and timing," said Maxine Lipeles, co-director of an environmental law clinic at Washington University who has advised citizen groups fighting the hog operations.
"The odors are at night when people are home. The school is close by. It made sense to work with Truman State."
Scott Dye, director of the Sierra Club's water programs, agreed.
"If I was PSF and I didn't think I had an odor problem, I'd fund the study," Dye said.
Koster's attorneys will continue to monitor Premium Standard's compliance with state odor laws, Gonder said.

Eternal Now - Poem by Christina Sunrise
One thing I have observed,
it may make you a bit perturbed.
It is half the world is depressed,
it's like happiness all repressed.
I feel it's from the planetary dream,
put in place for a while or so it seems.
Humans became filled with fear,
fear of the devil and anything queer.
Also programs where put into place,
to make us confirm and be filled with shame.
But hey, wait!
Everyone knows Who They Are in their heart,
that is what our consciousness as humans sets us apart.
Now collective consciousness is evolving at a rapid rate,
to help us shift our thinking on a certain date.
They say is in the year 2012,
But who can really tell?
When all time is an illusion
and all is happening NOW,
What if we can just get to that point
maybe hurry up somehow.
Start living in the Eternal Moment
like a bird or a cow.
Then we wouldn't worry,
or think we have to do,
We could just "Be" be-cause we chose to.

Daphne Oz and Carla Hall's Rum Raisin and Mascarpone Crepes
French Crepes
- Ingredients
- step-by-step directions
Daphne Oz and Carla Hall's Rum Raisin and Mascarpone Crepes
- For the Filling:
- 1/3 cup Raisins
- 1/2 cup Rum
- 1 pint Mascarpone (at room temperature)
- Salt
- 1/4 cup toasted Pecans (chopped plus more for garnish)
- 1 Lemon (zest)
For the Crepes:
- 2 Large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted Butter
- 3/4 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 cup Flour
- Salt
- Butter (for coating the pan)
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Confectioners Sugar (for garnish)
- For the Filling: Begin by soaking the raisins. Pour 1/4 cup hot water over raisins and add rum. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside while you prepare the rest of the dish - let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- For the Crepes: Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, sugar and water. Whisk in the flour and add a pinch of salt. Let the batter rest in the fridge for 30 minutes (this allows the bubbles to settle and helps prevent tearing during cooking).
- In a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat, add about 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Swirl the pan to coat evenly. Pour about 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and again swirl the pan to coat evenly with the batter. Cook for about 30 seconds and then quickly flip. Cook for another 15 seconds and then remove to a cutting board. Continue cooking all the batter in the same way as above.
- For the Filling: Whisk the mascarpone with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to loosen it up a bit. Strain the raisins, reserving the liquid, and stir them into the mascarpone along with the chopped pecans. Zest in the lemon.
- Working with a few crepes at a time, lay them out on the cutting board. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture into each crepe and roll up like a cigar.
- For the Sauce: In a medium size saute pan over medium-high heat, add the strained rum liquid. Reduce by half and add the molasses, honey and butter and pinch of salt. Swirl to combine. Reduce until the consistency of maple syrup, about 7 to 9 minutes.
- Drizzle the crepes with the sauce and garnish with more chopped pecans and confectioners sugar.

Nike Blazer Low air max shoes Cyber Monday Nike Tennis Shoes Black Friday Nike Tennis Shoes Outlet.
It's a beautiful Monday morning, fellas (and the 2 or 3 ladies out there who read The Pinz). Supreme and Comme Des Garcons SHIRT have just unveiled their latest collaborative effort after not teaming up for the F/W 13 season. Most of the collection falls in line with the aesthetic of the previous offerings, with polka dots and reverse box logos acting as central motifs. However, for the first time, a distinct photo print is utilized throughout, which depicts legendary skateboarder Harold Hunter who tragically died of a cocaine-induced heart attack at the age of 31. He previously played the role of Harold in the 1995 film Kids, which, if you haven't seen by now, goddamn, bro. If there were ever a movie to call seminal in terms of NYC youth culture, this is it. SPOILER ALERT: NYC TEENS IN THE '90S WERE SUPER FUCKED UP AND RECKLESS. Nowadays, they just wait in line at Supreme with their moms and listen to Joey Bada$$.

Professional services and consulting firm
Coffey said its revenue diversification strategy had not been enough to offset delays. Fee revenue could drop 10 per cent, or about $24 million in the second half.
Operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was estimated to be between $45 million and $50 million for the full year, Coffey said. This compared with operating EBITDA of $56 million achieved in fiscal 2009 and $49.8 million in fiscal 2008.
The cancellation of the Sydney Metro project alone wiped about $5 million from Coffey's revenue, managing director
In addition, lack of private investment in the property sector, slower than anticipated recovery in the mining sector and the reduced rate of spending on US aid contracts in Iraq were all factors in the lower revenue expectations, he said.
"We are now focused on projects that have the shortest time to commence," Mr Olds said, "but also build a stronger pipeline of bigger projects. The key is to get enough in the pipeline so delays don't affect us."
Investors wiped more than $65 million off Coffey's market capitalisation on Friday.
The stock closed down 54¢, nearly 30 per cent, at $1.295, its lowest in almost 14 months.

I generally don't spend a lot of time covering Apple product rumors these days just because, for any Apple product line, next version rumors seem to crop up about five minutes after a product ships. According to 'inside sources' we should all have been using iPhone 5s and iPad 3s for about six months now.
But if two iterations can form a pattern, then Apple has shown a pattern of launching iPads in the spring, and I think it's safe to assume some kind of new iPad will launch this spring as well. So when Bloomberg published its iPad rumors last Friday, I paid a bit more attention than I usually do.
Bloomberg says the new iPad will ship in March, and I'll add to that my guess that it'll be late March; that seems to fit the pattern. It'll have a faster processor (a quad core), says Bloomberg, and that's hardly a stretch, is it? With so many Android tablets starting to move to quad-core chips it'd be odd for Apple to sit still on the processor front.
What's most interesting is Bloomberg's report of a very high resolution display. They don't specify numbers but say:
The new display is capable of greater resolution than the current iPad, with more pixels on its screen than some high- definition televisions, the person said. The pixels are small enough to make the images look like printed material, according to the person.
Other sources, such as 9to5Mac, do put a number on the new display: they say its a 2048-by-1536 display manufactured by Sharp.
Neither Bloomberg nor 9to5Mac talk about size, so (assuming we're buying into all this) we're probably talking about another 10" tablet. I think if Apple wants to get serious about iBooks they ought to offer a 7" model. Having spent the last few years jumping between reading ebooks on 10" and 7" devices I have to say that, purely for e-reading, 7" is a more comfortable size, particularly if you read in bed. That said, we haven't heard all that much about iBooks from Apple recently; perhaps they've decided that's not part of their core business.
I get that one of the strengths of the iPad when it comes to consumers is actually the lack of choices — it's dead simple to buy an iPad compared to buying a competing product — but the iPad is well-entrenched enough now that I don't think offering two screen sizes would confuse the market all that much and a 7" iPad would compete directly with the Kindle Fire. That'd be a good weapon in Apple's arsenal, considering that (so far) the Kindle Fire is the only tablet to pose even a remote threat to the dominance of the iPad.

Public Meeting on Internet Connectivity in Outram
Clare Curran
Dunedin South MP
23 July 2014
Public Meeting on Internet Connectivity in Outram to be held on Monday 28 July
"A public meeting to discuss community-based solutions to improving internet speeds and reliability in Outram follows community agitation on poor connectivity," Labour's ICT Spokesperson Clare Curran said.
"Yesterday, reports showed that performance of rural broadband connections are declining across New Zealand. While fast broadband is being brought to the cities, those living in smaller rural communities are being left in the doldrums.
"Recently, Outram residents launched a petition calling on Parliament to urge to Government to include Outram into the Ultra-Fast Broadband project. The petition was delivered to the Office of the Clerk of the House yesterday and will be tabled in Parliament today.
"Of the 708 people currently living in Outram an amazing 367 signed this petition, demonstrating a broad and deep desire by the community to remedy their current unacceptable Internet speeds. In neighbouring Saddle Hill, 88 signatures were gathered from a similar petition following concern from a community member about low connectivity.
"While there are sensible, community-based solutions to improving internet speeds, the complexities and layered costs of such an undertaking are often beyond the capacity of small communities, like Outram.
"That is why I am organising a public meeting to allow community members to review available options and connect with local wireless network providers and Telco representatives.
"Representatives from Chorus and Vodafone have been invited to attend and hear local residents' concerns directly.
"This community has shown a great deal of passion and excitement about the Ultra-Fast Broadband project.
"I would urge Chorus, Vodafone, and local broadband vendors to make use of this excitement and convey any solutions to the community that they can provide," she said.

Since Nine-Eleven (pronounced: <i>SINs NeyeN-EEE-lev-un)</i> is a salutation used in formal settings or on talk radio to indicate the beginning of a speech to create fear or beg for money.
By Presidential Proclamation, The Greatest President Ever, George W. Bush has restricted use of the phrase to Republican-Americans or Favored Foreigners.
"Since Nine-Eleven" has roots in Early American English. The first portion, the "since" part, comes from "after" or "late" or "from after" or something. The "Nine-Eleven" part derives from the numbers of a day when America started to use their guts more. The "Nine" part means the ninth month of the calendar year, and the "Eleven" part from the eleventh day of that month, not the other way around like the French would have you do it (or indeed anyone from that small and inconvenient part of the world known as "the rest of it"). And that's where "Since Nine-Eleven" came from.
Common UsageEdit
Republicans use the phrase as a way to wake their audiences up, to be sure they are listening and to make sure they have or will soon crap their pants. Some events where the phrase has been used:
- calendars
- Republican National Conventions
- depositions in defense of Scooter Libby
- bumper stickers
- Special Invitation-Only Townhall Meetings
- Special Republican Dinner/Fundraisers
- Funerals of Great Americans
- Conversations in which logic is used
- presidential campaign speeches for former mayors of New York City
- confirmation hearings when Americans have to remember that we do not torture
- as a rallying cry to block any Democratic bills [1]
Prizes for Using The PhraseEdit
Republicans have found that Americans respond favorably to their use of the phrase, and have been conditioned to continue using it, even against their will. Some of the prizes Republicans have received after using the phrase:
- money
- a boost in ratings
- hookers at the White House
- substance deliveries to the White House
- applause
- defense contracts
- more money
- immunity from consequences of any action

Defiant Obama nominates 'anti-Israel' Chuck Hagel as Pentagon chief and dares critics to block Vietnam veteran 'who bears scars and the shrapnel of war fought in our name'
- Republican senators voice opposition to nomination of former colleague
- Hagel will face fierce questioning over his 'anti-Israel' views
- Senator Lindsey Graham: 'He would be the most antagonistic Secretary of Defence toward Israel in our nation's history'
Barack Obama today nominated Chuck Hagel as Pentagon chief, daring Republicans to block a decorated Vietnam veteran who 'bears the scars and the shrapnel of battles he fought in our name'.
The nomination will trigger a fresh battle - that over his nomination in the United States Senate, where a number of Democrats are openly sceptical about the former Republican senator following his comments about 'the Jewish lobby' and opposition to 'an openly, aggressively gay' nominee as ambassador to Luxembourg.
Obama's choice of the former two-term senator for Nebraska, revealed by congressional Democratic aides on Sunday, is likely to set up a gruelling confirmation fight in the Senate over whether Hagel supports key U.S. ally Israel after he previously called for negotiations with the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas.
Happy with his choice: Obama shares a joke with Hagel and outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at the event in the East Room of the White House today
Taking flak: Obama's nomination of Chuck Hagel today will trigger a fresh battle over his ability to take a seat in the Senate, where some Democrats are critical of his comments about 'the Jewish lobby'
Nation's protectors: John Brennan, right, was also announced as the nominee for CIA director
Obama said pointedly: 'I hope that the Senate will act on these confirmations promptly. When it
The president described him as 'the leader our troops deserve', pointing out that he would be the first former enlisted soldier to be U.S. Defence Secretary. comes to national security, we don't like to leave a lot of gaps between the time that one set of leaders transitions out and another transitions in. So we need to get moving quickly on this.'
He said: 'Chuck Hagel is the leader that our troops deserve. He is an American patriot. He enlisted in the Army and volunteered for Vietnam. As a young private and then a sergeant, he served with honor alongside his own brother. Obama highlighted Hagel's Vietnam service, telling American troops: 'Just like Sergeant Hagel was always there for his own brother, Secretary Hagel will always be there for you.' He added: 'Chuck knows that war is not an abstraction.'
'When Chuck was hit by shrapnel, his brother saved him. When his brother was injured by a mine, Chuck risked his life to pull him to safety. To this day, Chuck bears the scars and the shrapnel from the battles he fought in our name.'
Hagel, 66, has been lambasted for comments he made questioning the effectiveness of sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program.
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told CNN the choice would make Hagel 'the most antagonistic secretary of defence toward the state of Israel in our nation's history'.
'Not only has he said you should directly negotiate with Iran, sanctions won't work, that Israel should directly negotiate with the Hamas organization - a terrorist group that lobs thousands of rockets into Israel - he also was one of 12 senators who refused to sign a letter to the European Union that Hezbollah should be designated as a terrorist organization.'
Divisive: Republican lawmakers have spoken out against the appointment of their former colleague
Name Charles Timothy 'Chuck' Hagel
Age 66
Education Graduate, Brown Institute for Radio and Television, Minneapolis, 1966; bachelor's degree, history, University of Nebraska, Omaha, 1971.
Experience He serves as the Chairman of the Atlantic Council and the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration Advisory Committee. Previous posts include co-chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board and member of the Defense Policy Board. U.S. senator, 1997-2009, and deputy administrator, U.S. Veterans Administration, 1981-1982.
Among his employment history, he was president of McCarthy & Co., an investment banking firm based in Omaha between 1992 and 1996. Between 1967 and 1968, he was in the Army, including service in Vietnam.
Family Wife, Lilibet, and two children.
Quote 'We are each a product of our experiences, and my time in combat very much shaped my opinions about war. I'm not a pacifist; I believe in using force, but only after following a very careful decision-making process' - Hagel in an October interview with Vietnam Magazine
He added that it would 'probably be a bridge too far' for him to back Hagel, a Vietnam veteran who initially voted for the Iraq war but loudly grew to oppose it and support Obama for president in 2008.
As such, 'he has long severed his ties with the Republican Party', Graham said. 'This is an in-your-face nomination by the president.'
Senator Graham is an Air Force reservist who serves on the Armed Services Committee which will consider the nomination when it is officially brought forward.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas also had disparaging words for Hagel, saying in a statement that he will not support the nomination as Hagel's 'record and past statements, particularly with respect to rogue nations like Iran, are extremely concerning to me'.
'As Iran becomes increasingly hostile and gains influence in the region, the worst possible message we could send to our friend Israel and the rest of our allies in the Middle East is Chuck Hagel,' he added.
Another senior Republican aide added:
'I can't imagine why [Obama] would choose to burn his political capital
on this nomination. For what? There is no constituency for Chuck Hagel.
Obama will expend every ounce of political capital he has to get him
across the finish line. Dems will hate this.'
Indeed, there is also a lack of support for Hagel among Democrats.
The controversy comes after the Obama administration backed down from a tough Senate confirmation battle over Susan Rice, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. who was Obama's first pick to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.
Rice withdrew her name from consideration after drawing heavy fire from Republicans for remarks she made in the aftermath of a September 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.
'It is a strange signal for the White House to send that they are willing to fight for Hagel but not Rice,' a Senate Democratic aide said on Sunday, Politico reported.
'Democrats are not currently unified behind Hagel, and it will take some real work by the administration to get them there, if it's even possible.
'The administration floated Hagel's name, then neglected to defend him effectively when his critics started taking shots,' the aide said.
'I think there will be a lot of tough questions for Sen. Hagel,' Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., added to NBC, 'but he will be treated fairly by Republicans in the Senate. I think he'll be subjected to the same kind of oversight hearings that any nominee for such an important position would expect.'
Friends: Obama, pictured with Hagel in Amman, Jordan in 2008, called the former senator 'a patriot'
Working together: Hagel, left, and Obama, right, listen as the now-disgraced General David Petraeus reviews operations in Iraq to a congressional delegation visiting Baghdad in July 2008
McConnell added his 'views with regard to Israel, for example, and Iran and all the other positions that he's taken over the years will be very much a matter of discussion in the confirmation process.'
Hagel has also offended gay rights groups on the left after he called then-President Bill Clinton's nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg James Hormel as 'openly, aggressively gay' in 1998.
'The worst possible message we could send to our friend Israel and the rest of our allies in the Middle East is Chuck Hagel'
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas
He later apologized for the remark which he called 'insensitive'.
Last month Obama offered strong support for Hagel as a possible replacement for Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who had said he wanted to leave early in the second term.
'I've served with Chuck Hagel,' Obama told NBC's 'Meet the Press' on December 30. 'I know him. He is a patriot. He is somebody who has done extraordinary work both in the United States Senate, somebody who served this country with valor in Vietnam.'
And Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, from North Dakota, also defended the selection of 'a tremendous patriot and statesman' who 'served incredibly in Vietnam'.
'He hasn't had a chance to speak for himself. And so why all the prejudging?' she said on 'This Week'. 'In America, you give everybody a chance to speak for themselves and then we'll decide.'
Ducking out: The nomination comes after the Obama administration backed down from a tough battle for Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to step in as secretary of state
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin added that Hagel is recipient of two Purple Hearts from wounds he sustained in Vietnam and worked on the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence committees.
'Yes, he is a serious candidate if the president chooses to name him,' Durbin said.
If all Senate Democrats come together and support Hagel, it will be easier for him to win confirmation. Democrats now hold a 55-to-45 advantage over Republicans following the November election.
If they did unite, the White House would need just five Republican votes to confirm Hagel.
It would be rare for Republicans to reject the president's choice for defense secretary, especially one who is a Republican, just a month after voters voted him in for a second term, Politico reported.

Munich, Germany (SPX) Mar 05, 2013
Agriculture is responsible for around ten to twelve percent of all greenhouse gases attributable to human activities. This raises the question of how these emissions could be reduced.
A recent study has investigated - for the first time - the full range of factors that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, namely soil and climate conditions, the agricultural model and the farming intensity on both organic and conventional holdings. The study has enabled scientists to develop a new model that will allow agricultural landholders to determine and improve their climate balance.
As part of the study(*), scientists investigated 40 organic and 40 conventional agricultural holdings across Germany's four agricultural regions. They focused exclusively on crop and dairy farms.
The scientists recorded all relevant climate gas streams during the entire production process, including methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. In the case of dairy farms, they also factored in the purchase of soybean meal from South America and all related greenhouse gas emissions.
Strategies for improving climate balance
"There are different ways of improving a farm's climate balance," explains Professor Kurt-Jurgen Hulsbergen from Technische Universitat Munchen (TUM). "One effective strategy is for landholders to grow feed themselves rather than purchase soy from another source. Farms can also streamline production processes and deploy modern technology to obtain higher yields without increasing the amount of energy required."
In crop farming, increasing nitrogen efficiency is a key factor. High levels of nitrous oxide are released into the environment if crops are unable to utilize all of the nitrogen fertilizer that was spread. The production of nitrogen fertilizer is also energy intensive, which further increases the climate balance of unused nitrogen.
In contrast, the greenhouse gas CO2 can be stored long term as humus in the soil, and thus eliminated from the climate balance. "This can be achieved by planting legumes as part of a diversified crop rotation strategy," explains Professor Gerold Rahmann at the Thunen Institute. "Using soil less intensively and applying organic fertilizer also helps."
Topping the charts: organic versus conventional farming
Organic dairy farms use more plant fodder grown on site and do not import soybean meal. This strategy pays off, according to Hulsbergen: "The pilot organic farms we looked at emit around 200 grams less CO2 per kilogram of milk than conventional farms with the same milk yield."
Most interestingly, the investigations show that yields and greenhouse gas emissions fluctuate significantly between different organic farms in some cases to an even greater extent than the fluctuations between organic and conventional holdings. This demonstrates that the individual know-how of farm managers plays an important role in the greenhouse gas balance and that there is significant potential for improvement at individual farms.

addition to the royal "we", and domestic "we", as in "you know our John,
and his hot temper" or the like. It's not a usage I come across much,
so I can't say if it extends to non-domestic situation-club memberships,
ethnic or religious connections, and the like, but the usage draws in
the audience to a sense of shared experience, as observed, without
necessarily giving rise to any sense of collusion.
Cheers, Tony B

and then there's the me part. for me this means limiting the running commentary in my head. forgiving the things that happenned. often this means i have to forgive icky people and their icky behaviours, because i believe they are animals just like me in the world that are doing their best like i am. even if i was hurt i have to find a way to laugh or love parts of these people. the forgiveness is a release for me to go on and quit feeling mad and violated. it does not change the situation or how others behaved, but it always makes me feel better and able to continue free. when i'm upset or judgmental about others i am just as easily upset and judgmental about myself and this is a draining cycle. i have to find the way to jump on another track and forgiveness is usually a big piece.
this also means forgiving yourself for however you have behaved that you are not feeling right about. know that your child's memory is limited and that they are amazingly forgiving. what they remember is them feeling loved, not whether you argued in their favor. they just feel that as distress.
it is okay to not know everything about being a mamma! how unendingly boring would that be!

Céline Pre-Fall 2013
As a successful designer, working mom of three, and all-round purveyor of cool, Phoebe Philo continues to break the mold in fashion. And she's been shaping the look of things to come with a more conceptual hand of late. After the raw and deconstructed edge of spring, Philo is pushing traditional ideas of tailoring to unchartered territory for pre-fall. Even something as familiar as a mannish two-piece suit, for example, has an unexpected twist of the new; sprinkle it with delicate pearl buttons and it's androgyny with a soft touch. Add in some seriously extreme proportions, like floor-sweeping double-breasted overcoats and super sky-high lace-up wedges—just when everyone else in fashion appears to be coming down and paring back—and you're a little closer to decoding her deliciously perverse counterintuitive rules.
Philo has a knack for honing in on the straightforward sweet spots in a working wardrobe too, and in that sense, even the most daring looks had a stand-alone appeal when considered piece by piece. The draped sari-like blouse would be an instant transitional pick-me-up with or without its matching skirt, and the pearl-studded blouses and jackets give reliable staples a new attention to detail. Devoted Céline fans will find updates on the oversize hits of seasons past, including pilgrim-buckle fur coats and an ankle-length pleated skirt rendered in leather. As far as accessories go, the flat oxford shoes with heavy gold kilties are more than likely to be another runaway favorite worth collecting.

I have no patience for survival Judaism. Whenever I hear someone talk about what Jews must do in order to "survive," I head for the door.
Joel Alperson, whose piece "Tikkun Olam May Feel Good But It Doesn't Build Community" was published in the Aug. 4 Jewish Exponent), joins the long list of Jewish leaders offering a formula for survival. He informs us that Modern Orthodoxy has the answers and Reform and Conservative Judaism are on the road to extinction — a point with which I strongly disagree but that I will not argue here.
What needs to be said, however, is that he shows a total misunderstanding of what Judaism is about and fails to comprehend that a Judaism obsessed with survival is a Judaism that will not survive.
Anyone who's urged college students to care about our survival knows that they'll respond with incomprehension and contempt. They're not interested in being Jewish so that we can survive. They need to hear the opposite: Jews do not observe Torah in order to survive; they survive in order to observe Torah. And — this is the key for such students and many others — observing Torah means much more than worrying about our own souls.
Observing Torah involves fulfilling a grander purpose. It means taking to heart the words of R. Hayyim of Brisk, the greatest Talmudist of the late 19th century, who defined the rabbi's task as follows: "To redress the grievances of those who are abandoned and alone, to protect the dignity of the poor, and to save the oppressed from the hands of the oppressor."
Social justice is required by our texts and is inseparable from our religious mission. And there is no such thing as a morality that is selectively indignant — that looks within but fails to look without.
Do we need to study Torah, embrace Jewish ritual and observe Shabbat? Absolutely, although Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Jews will interpret these differently. Social justice, absent text study and ritual practice, is inauthentic and will not sustain itself.
Indeed, I have found that the work of tikkun olam, for all its rewards, is lonely and discouraging work, and only by absorbing the light of the Shabbat candles and by studying and worshiping communally can I immunize myself against the cynicism that surrounds me.
But the point that Mr. Alperson misses is that social justice is not, as he claims, a secular pursuit meant to compensate for the absence of "God-based" experience. Social justice is God-mandated in the same way that Shabbat observance and Torah study are God-mandated.
The book of Jeremiah (9:24), contains these words: "I am the Eternal, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight." Serious Jews know that in our tradition, healing the sick, clothing the naked, helping the poor, pursuing peace, loving my people and neighbors are the attributes of God, and we testify to God's existence by emulating God's behavior.
Mr. Alperson can't seem to decide whether Jewish education and practice are "God-based" or are means of survival. He appears to choose the latter, referring to them as "the water pumps and sandbags employed by the Orthodox movement against the rising tides of assimilation." Orthodox leaders can speak for themselves, but I will share with you the reaction of my daughter Adina, who's a social activist, belongs to an Orthodox congregation and was incensed by the article.
"We don't observe Shabbat because it is a sandbag against assimilation," she said, "but because it is part of the eternal covenant between God and the Jews that evokes the miracle of Creation and the Exodus from Egypt and links me to Jews throughout the centuries."
The essence of Mr. Alperson's argument, and of his folly, is that "we can't have it both ways"; we cannot, he says, insist that social justice is central and also embrace serious Jewish education and practice. But we can and we must. To do one without the other is to retreat from the world and distort Judaism's essence.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
I'm figuring out the "Taxable Gain on Sale of Home". I moved to California two and a half years ago, renting my house out when I left. I'm now selling my house. In IRS publication 523 it states: >>>>>>>>>> Exceptions. A period of nonqualified use does not include: Any portion of the 5-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange after the last date you (or your spouse) use the property as a main home; >>>>>>>>>> So, does that mean that I shouldn't count the past 2.5 years of renting out the house after my move as "non-qualified" use?
At this link:
It says that I have to take into account the depreciation I claimed, but I'd still have a 250K exclusion in my situation. Is that true?
Thanks for asking your question! I'm sorry to hear about your tax issue and I'm going to try my best to help you understand or resolve it.
How are you today
You are correct, the 2.5 years does not count as "nonqualified use"
Great! Thanks!
You're welcome

The following post is by our friend Jimmy from Tennessee, a teacher and professional musician. You can check out his blog at http://queerconfessions.wordpress.com/.
I have asked myself one question in the thirteen years I have walked with Christ: do I, as a gay Christian, belong in God's church? I was teased and bullied at my Christian middle school for being the quiet, shy, and sensitive one. While I excelled in Sunday School, knowing the right answers did not give me a sense that Jesus cared for my life. I was a confused 13 year-old boy who felt alone in the world, who had no friends, and who had never known another gay person in his life. It would seem that, as a young boy, I did not have a place in God's family.
Even my early days as a follower of Christ were difficult. By the time I was entering high school, I had no idea what the Bible said about homosexuality, so I took it upon myself to look. I'll never forget the first words I read from the Bible as a young Christian. "Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites…none of these will inherit the kingdom of God" (I Cor 6:9-10, NRSV). Sodomites won't inherit the Kingdom of God? Who exactly is a sodomite? I had never had sex with a man, but I had looked at gay pornography. I lusted in my heart, and that made me an adulterer according to the words of Jesus. Paul was telling me that I, an adulterous sodomite, could not inherit God's Kingdom. I was confused. I also had no one to talk to; I was locked into my closet of fear and solitude.
I carried that fear with me for a long time, but I finally broke my silence when I was a sophomore in high school. I came out to a straight senior in my church youth group, and I will always cherish the words he said to me that night. He said, "Thanks for telling me, Jimmy. You're still my friend, and this doesn't change who you are." You mean this older kid – the jock, the most popular person in our youth group – wasn't going to beat me up? Gossip about me? Judge me? That I could freely be myself around another person? Fifteen year old me was ecstatic! Jesus taught me an important lessons through my friend's words: my sexuality is not my entire being. I, like every living person, am a complex soul with a personality unique unto myself, and above all, I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
As I came out to more people, the answer to my foundational question – do I belong in God's Church – began to change from a timid "no" to a resounding "yes." When I shared my sexuality with my youth minister and other friends from my high school youth group, they all replied quite similarly to my first confidant and trusted friend: you're still the same guy we love. I met some amazing men on a church retreat during the summer before I moved to Tennessee for college, and they welcomed me into their fellowship when I came out before them. Those three men – Billy, Byron, and Michael – are my dearest brothers nine years after that church camp. They are all straight Christians, yet we have sharpened one another as iron sharpens iron. And many of the people I met in college also welcomed me, all of me, into their churches and campus fellowships.
I have been told by some more progressive people that those who hold a traditional view of Scripture and homosexuality can never truly love gay people, but I know for a fact that they are wrong. Dozens of people in my life prove those people wrong; so many of my closest friends are straight, evangelical Christians. They are also my roommates, my colleagues at work, my neighbors, and my friends. They support me during times of great joy and times of great sorrow. When my father passed away four years ago, this conservative Body of Christ went to great lengths to care for me and my family. They expected no payment or favor in return.
Do I have a place in God's church? Yes, but not because people welcomed me in the church. I belong in God's church because it is that same God who ruled that I have a place in this church through Jesus Christ. It is His body – the Church – that has turned God's edict into incarnate, genuine love.
Much love.

Hazardous materialsHazCom; Hazard communication; Material Safety Data Sheet; MSDS
Hazardous materials are substances that could harm human health or the environment if they are not handled the right way. Hazardous means dangerous.
Hazard communication is teaching people how to work with hazardous materials and waste. It is also called HazCom.
There are many different kinds of hazardous materials. Some of them are:
- Chemicals, like some that are used for cleaning
- Drugs, like chemotherapy to treat cancer
- Radioactive material that is used for x-rays or radiation treatments
- Human or animal tissue, blood, or other substances from the body that may carry harmful germs
- Gases that are used to make patients sleep during surgery
Hazardous materials can harm you if they:
- Touch your skin
- Splash into your eyes
- Get into your airways or lungs when you breathe
- Cause fires or explosions
Your hospital or workplace will have policies about how to deal with these materials. You will receive special training if your work with these materials.
Watch out for Hazardous Materials
Know where hazardous materials are used and stored. Some common areas are where:
- X-rays and other imaging tests are done
- Radiation treatments are done
- Medicines are handled, prepared, or given to patients -- especially drugs to treat cancer
- Chemicals or supplies are delivered, packed for shipping, or thrown away
Always treat any container that does not have a label like it is hazardous. Treat any spilled substance the same way.
If you do not know if something you use or find is harmful, never be afraid to ask if it is.
Labels and Signs
Look for signs before you enter a patient room, a lab or x-ray area, a storage closet, or an area you do not know well.
You may see warning labelson boxes, containers, bottles, or tanks. Lookfor words like:
- Acid or Alkali
- Carcinogenic
- Caution
- Corrosive
- Danger
- Explosive
- Flammable
- Irritant
- Radioactive
- Unstable
- Warning
A label called the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) will tell you if a material is hazardous. This label tells you:
- Names of the hazardous chemicals or substances in the container
- Facts about the substance, such as the odor, or when it will boil or melt
- How it could harm you or what your symptoms would be if you are exposed to the material
- How to safely handle the material and what to wear when you handle it protective equipment
- What steps to take before more skilled or trained help comes
- If the material could cause a fire or explosion, and what to do if this happens
- What to do if a spill or leak occurs
- What to do if there is danger from the material if it mixes with other substances
- How to safely store the material, including what temperature to keep it at, if moisture is safe, and whether it should be in a room with good airflow
Work Safely
If you find a spill, treat it like it is hazardous until you know what it is. This means:
- Put on personal protective equipment (PPE), such asa respirator or mask and gloves that will protect you from chemicals.
- Use disinfectant wipes to clean up the spill and put the wipes in double plastic bags.
- Contact waste management to clean the area and throw away the supplies you used to clean up the spill.
Always treat any unlabeled container like it contains hazardous materials.
- Put the container in a bag and take it to waste management to be thrown away.
- Do not pour the material down the drain, put in the normal trash, or let it get into the air.
If you work with hazardous materials:
- Read the Material Safety Data Sheet for all materials you use.
- Know what type of PPE to wear.
- Learn about risks, such as whether the material can cause cancer.
- Know how to use the material and how to store it or throw it away when you are done.
Other tips:
- Never enter an area where radiation therapy is taking place.
- Always use the safest container to move materials from one area to another.
- Check bottles, containers, or tanks for leaks.

The Ultadanga flyover is unlikely to be reopened this March-end, a year after a concrete span between two piers fell in the canal below along with a lorry.
The authorities said on Sunday it wouldnt be possible to restore the flyover to traffic before May. The 39m-long portion of the EM Bypass-bound flank of the flyover had collapsed on March 3, 2013.
The Calcutta Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) had promised to complete the repairs and reopen it for traffic by this month-end.
The contractors have built the support structure for the span. This was the critical part, said an engineer of the CMDA.
The engineers will next fix the steel girder, which shifts the load of vehicles to the pillars, and the concrete deck slab or the bed of the flyover.
The temporary steel scaffold sits on the canal and runs to a height where it will secure a new curved span until it is joined to the piers.
This support structure will hold the steel girder and the deck slab till these are joined to the rest of the flyover. The structure will be dismantled after the repairs are over, said the engineer.
The flyover will be ready by May-end, hopefully, said a senior official of the CMDA.
Vehicles heading south towards the Bypass from VIP Road used to take the flyover to avoid the traffic at Ultadanga.
The rebuilding work got delayed after the CMDA failed to find a contractor in March last year. There was only a single bidder in which case the rule is to advertise the contract again.
The CMDA floated a fresh tender in May and Calcutta-based GPT Infraprojects got the contract.
The work could not start immediately because Rites, the consultants for the project, had to evaluate the price quoted by the contractor. The green light was flashed in September, almost six months after the accident.
The reconstruction budget is Rs 14.29 crore, more than one-fifth of the Rs 70 crore spent on building the entire flyover. The collapsed portion makes up about one-thirtieth of the 1.3km flyover.
Some experts had suggested construction of an extra pier to strengthen the structure but the Jadavpur University team that investigated the collapse didnt make any such recommendation.

Should this page be moved to House of Gaunt, much as Black family was moved to House of Black? --Parodist 17:20, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- I don't remember it ever being referred to as the House of Gaunt in canon, so I think it can stay put for now; unless other editors think differently. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 17:28, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
Well, the chapter title is the House of Gaunt, isn´t it?--Rodolphus 17:32, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
I agree with you Rodolphus.--Station7 17:33, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- Aha, you're right. I forgot about the chapter title. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 17:37, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- The first sentence of the article even refers to them as the House of Gaunt. ----Parodist (Send me an Owl) 17:42, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- So is there a consensus then, or can anybody give a good reason why it shouldn't be moved? - Nick O'Demus 11:30, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
- I personally prefer article titles to be kept consistent. In that regard, I've always found House of Black problematic, because every other article in Category:Families has a title that follows the "[Surname] family" convention. So I'd recommend maintaining this article's current title to avoid introducing further inconsistency. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 15:58, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
How do we know Marvolo didn't have any siblings or cousins? I think we should put it as unknown. WHO AGREES?
In the House of Gaunt chapter, Marvolo says that he and his children were Slytherin's last living descendants.--Rodolphus 15:05, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
- It was also said that all members of The Gaunt House where Parseltongues, There are no known Parseltongues left, we have to assume that the name is extinct.
- The family line could still be alive through females lines, similar to the Black Family. Looking at the Malfoy family crest, I wouldn't be surprised if they were distantly related. And all pureblood families are said to be related, so maybe.
- Greenerseyes (talk) 05:50, November 13, 2013 (UTC)
Status of the Family.
I think we should make the status of the family "Unknown",instead of "Extant", because:
1) It is of course extinct in paternal line.
2) It is unknown if there are members alive in the female line, descendants by the daughter of Isolt and James Stewart who married a No-Maj.
3) It is possible -and probable- that Terry Boot is a descendant of one of the adoptive sons of the Stewarts, but they're not blood family, and they wouldonly be in maternal line.

As consumers become more digitally connected than ever before, with product information and price comparisons at their fingertips, brand loyalty isn't what it used to be. In response, the industry may be readying itself for a shift that puts consumers in the driver's seat, dictating what they want, wherever they choose. "Retailers will have to offer a personalized, consistent experience across all channels to stay competitive and be willing to listen to each consumer's preferences," said Mike Webster, senior VP and general manager of retail and hospitality for Atlanta-based NCR Corp., a technology company whose assisted- and self-service solutions and support services address the needs of retail, hospitality, financial and other organizations around the world. Chain Store Age spoke with Webster about NCR's interpretation of "converged retail" and how it has the potential to change the face of the industry forever. How would you describe "converged retailing?"
The intimate relationship between merchant and consumer is currently lost. Retailers are trying to connect with us via so many platforms, and personalization has faded along the way. Merchants try to push Web recommendation-predictions, but these are basically guesses. The future of the retail industry is going to move away from a business-to-consumer world and pick up a consumer-to-business model, where shoppers will be calling the shots and dictating their preferences. To do so, all channels will have to converge into one. This will allow the retailer to begin a transaction in one channel and add value in another.
Why is there a challenge with personalization right now?
It's hard for merchants to create a consistent, personalized experience across various platforms. There remains a big focus on multichannel strategy, but multichannel is just another way to connect with the consumer, and it is inconsistent. Merchants often send different messages to different platforms. In reality, retailers don't know that much about individual shoppers. Shoppers may be getting promotions about dog food from a pet retailer when they actually have a cat — the retailer only knows that they have a pet. It's also a struggle for retailers to harmonize all of the fragmented data out there — from social media to the mobile world — to form a more holistic view of the consumer.
Merchants have to figure out a way to really engage each shopper to better understand their preferences and how they want to be served. In the future, consumers will instead be able to co-create with the retailer, so their presence can be detected in any channel and preferences can be met.
How would a shopper declare their preferences?
Sophisticated software from third-party providers can enable retailers to learn about each shopper on a personalized level. The retailer will ask simple questions via the Web, mobile device or at checkout in a store to hone in on their needs and wants. Shoppers don't want to be inundated with unrelated promotions, so merchants can make their life easier. Soon, a whole profile can be developed about a shopper so the retailer could know that they prefer certain types of organic products for their six-month-old baby. In a store, a phone number or loyalty card could also be handed over so the cashier would know the shopper doesn't want a receipt with their purchase (or wants the receipt printed in a certain language).
How will in-store technology reflect this change?
Digital signage can create a conversation with a shopper in a personalized, targeted way. Right now, it's broadcasting a message, but in the next few years, shoppers will be able to interact with it by swiping a loyalty card, for example, that clues the technology into who they are. The signage, or even a kiosk, can also suggest items in the store that would match what they bought online last month.
How close are we to this reality?
We have already seen it in small pieces, but it's probably the start to a three- to five-year journey. Personalization will be more prevalent in the next few years, and the results will be very powerful for those that take advantage of the strategy.
