Tim Sherwood: Why I turned down the West Brom job
Tim Sherwood today claimed he turned down the chance to become Albion boss because of "missing ingredients".
The Baggies claim new boss Alan Irvine was chosen ahead of Sherwood after impressing in a second interview.
But the former Tottenham boss claimed today that he was offered the chance to succeed Pepe Mel but rejected the opportunity after opening contract talks last week.
The discussions are thought to have hit a snag over terms for Sherwood's preferred coaches Les Ferdinand and Chris Ramsey, although the 45-year-old was unclear today over whether the presence of assistant boss Keith Downing and goalkeeping coach Dean Kiely had put him off.
"I went to speak to the chairman and the board there a couple of times and was happy with how the discussions were going," said Sherwood. "I was offered the job before we started to negotiate but it just wasn't right for me in the end so I decided to give it a miss.
"It (the coaching issue) wasn't a problem.
"I don't know Keith or Dean very well and I have nothing against them but I think it's important that you take your own men in and I was looking to take in a couple of guys who I trust.
"I haven't got the time when I go into a club to train somebody into my own thinking.
"There were just a couple of ingredients missing that made me decide I wouldn't take the gamble on it."
Sherwood was the leading contender after a first round of interviews and appeared to have won the race when the Baggies opened contract talks with him at the end of last week.
The former midfielder, who captained Blackburn to the Premier League title during his playing career, was 1/10 with some bookmakers to land the job after emerging as the Baggies No.1 choice.
The club claim a second round of interviews then persuaded them to change their mind and offer the post to Irvine.
But Sherwood insists he turned down the chance to succeed Mel, who left at the end of the season.

I can see what you are saying Tim, gutted you won't be with us!
Albion til I die!
I have to say that I do like Tim Sherwood's openness although whether the Chairman would like laundry aired in the public domain we will never know but probably not.
Just 3 words JEREMY SO DISAPIONTED
A bit more fuel on the fire...
do lallytap
And there you have it....as I said last week....DOWNING !!!
Here is the most important part of the interview....
"I think it's important that you take your own men in and I was looking to take in a couple of guys who I trust"....Note the word TRUST.
Downing is the snake in the grass I have said it all along and for anyone to succeed at the Albion Downing MUST go
I know I am going to get pulled apart for this comment but take it from me Downing is too much in JP's pocket.
You get this in any work place, you always get a trouble maker, tittle tattle brown nose and Downing is the one
Do lally,
You could have a great point there about snake in the grass.
It was reported by Albion people that JP wanted Gary Megson's secretary to report back everything he was doing and when it was refused she was dismissed.
Apparently she won her tribunal case.
Kev in Mallorca
Let's put that little fire out shall we.
I would imagine the reason for this was that when Gary Megson used to discuss club matters with the board, things were agreed on or not then Megson would talk too the Press and tell a COMPLETELY different account of the board meeting, how do I know this? cause a good friend and business associate was on the board at the time.
He was a long time associated with WBA and was not in the habit of telling lies, at the time Megson was God but JP wanted to sack him, my friend and others pointed out that the fans would lynch the board if they tried.
That's why later Megson's position became untenable,
Lets relight that fire because the very person we are on about is now employed at WWFC and her Father was associated with our club for 50 years.
From an ex employee at the club!!!!!!
do lallytap
Relight my fire....TAKE THAT KEV !!
Kev in Mallorca
I'm not disagreeing with your fact of the secretary being sacked, I'm trying too show that not all facts are in the public domain and no one on here knows the right and wrongs behind every decision made at the club.
Another reason I jumped in is whenever Megson is used to prove a point I think it's right for everyone too know, yes he did a fantastic job for the club football wise but behind the scenes was a different story.
Who a yo Tonto to Streetly's Lone Ranger?
You're only saying that cos he's a former WWFC player.
Maybe it could be just could be Kiely who's the arse licker!!!
Kev in Mallorca
So you choose Sherwood account to be gospel?
do lallytap
Why shouldn't I ?
Kev in Mallorca
Maybe cause that one is the more controversial?
do lallytap
Well if it isn't true I am sure we will get Albions version, I have looked for it Kev but I cor see it ?
Kev in Mallorca
Look agen!
DoLal you've drunk all your beer ! I've gone right off you again.
TOTAL CRAP you're talking now. You are guessing and trying to make it sound as if you know. That is completely dishonest and you should be ashamed.
The View From Baggy Bottom
Too many threads to follow today E&S.
What Sherwood say's now is of little interest unless he is able to give us the whole truth about what went on in the interviews. I doub't very much that he would risk taking on JP in the courts, if he did.
Whether he didn't get the job, or he turned it down, doesn't matter anymore. He won't be leading us next season, end of.
Alan Irvine is our new Head Coach and he,(and JP and all the staff at Albion), will be judged by results on the pitch.
Moving on!!
Martacus Redd
Well the old adage there's no one bigger than the club doesn't seem to apply to the Baggies with regard to Keith or Dean.
Why forsake the chance of getting Sherwood to keep a couple of 2 a penny coaches who would at the first opportunity leave to go elsewhere. See Oldfield who jumped ship last week & in the past the likes of Appleton. Why the loyalty here, where it doesn't appear elsewhere?
After the brief respite with Mel we have to learn Scottish again. I p;refer not knowing what our Coach thinks & says.
There will be claim and counter claim.
I think Sherwood`s version of events is probably the true one...............BUT, it is utterly immaterial, he is not the coach, Irvine is, it`s the ONLY important thing.
Personally, my lack of interest in who didn`t get the job, is complete !!
We all know what the missing ingredient was. Money. The club is showing too much loyalty to Downing and Kiely too. Should have sacked them when Mel went and allowed someone to bring in their own team. Terry Burton said in the end it was down to two outstanding candidates. What he neglected to add was that one was much cheaper and simpler to appoint than the other. Peace out. Pathetic appointment has made us a laughing stock.
If Sherwood was really offered the job I guess Pearce got a very early taste of what was to follow if, as reported, he then started demanding excess wages for his buddies. A great escape in my opinion.
Why were so many fans so keen on Sherwood? With a set of Spurs players (the Baggies will never be in a position to afford) he had an excellent honeymoon period before going downhill then started slagging off his players.
Had he been appointed last year everyone would be saying, why him, no experience, assistants assistant etc Baggies got no ambition etc etc yet npw its like we have just missed out on Jose himself.
Irvine may not be a household name but neither was Mowbray.
Dont Lallytap
I think everyone knows that Tim Sherwood was the odds on favourite for the job. And as is the case, Irvine was plan 'B' I think the missing ingredients, that should have been (missing) are KD & DK. We need to start afresh, and that means shipping out the deadwood. God only knows why they are still there?
However, JP, as always, will have to live or die by his decisions, and albeit I'm not a supporter of this appointment, it is what it is, and we will have to hope it works out. Ultimately, what matters at the end of the day, is? That we try and retain our status as a Premier league football club, hopefully playing some decent football in the process.
All the best Mr. Irvine, and I genuinely wish you a successful stay at our club.
Up the Baggies
If KD really loves albion he should resign his post, there is no doubt that he is the reason we can`t attract a top manager.
We Only Need One Half!
So who do you believe now Cyril? seems this is the same scenario that we had with Anelka, he publicly resigned several hours before the Club said he was sacked, and to this day, media etc still refer to him being sacked.
Now we have the Club insisting they never offered Sherwood the job where he says they did.
Only difference being we knew Anelka had resigned before the Club publicly claimed he had been sacked because he did it in Public, with this one, you will just have to make your own minds up, but at best someone is confused, at worst its a downright lie on someone's part.
I know who I believe, and its not the chairman.
We knew this was going to happen, forget it mate lets move on
I guess in conversation Sherwood was told we would like to offer him the job as long as wages and staff could be agreed, This to Sherwood is being offered the job.
WBA would argue that until a contract was placed in front of Sherwood to sign because everything has been agreed the job is not officially being offered to him.
We Only Need One Half!
stemic & BB, its all semantics at the end of the day, only this time I am inclined to believe the Club, only for the reason that I can not recall J.P. offering the job to anyone till he was certain of getting them, anyone?
p.s. where's Max? I have got my skid kid ready waiting for the fireworks, you gone into meltdown mate?
WONOH, sounds like Sherwood wanted the job mate but with his own Team around him, and with little time to prepare for the season who could blame him!
IMO the 16,000 who have already purchased their season tickets deserve a few factual comments from Mr Peace (not " The Club") not least to Sherwood's claims that he was offered the job.
From the posts to the Manager related articles, and the Poll, the vast majority wanted Sherwood.
I staunchly believe the club Wonoh. As I said somewhere else, Sherwood is hardly likely to say he wasn't offered the job, it would damage his image. He WAS offered the job SUBJECT to certain provisos. Those terms were not met so both sides pulled out ! Nothing was signed. SO THE JOB WAS NEVER HIS !
As for Anelka, the worst mistake this club ever made was signing him. Him and his quenelle and he's still at it ! I shall watch how it affects Mulumbu when he returns for training. You and I will never agree on Anelka. To me a hateful man. Could have destroyed the club. We are still repairing the damage he caused.
We Only Need One Half!
Cyril & Stokey, Well according to reports else where (I can give you links if you have not already seen them) Sherwood is claiming he was offered the job 'before' they had begun negotiations??? this just does not ring true to me at all.
We all know how J.P. and the club operate, and I would imagine it would have been easier to get information out of the former U.S.S.R. than The Hawthorns going on our past record.
I only mentioned the Anelka scenario because it was in the public domain several hours before that he had resigned before the Club said he was sacked, I do not want to reopen the debate. I only mention it because that was a unusual situation that caught the Club on the hop (we ever had a player publicly resign before?) where as this situation we have been thru many times, and its standard not to offer the job till the guy is about to put a full stop after his signature.
Its J.P.s way, and perhaps we should rename his office the Kremlin, nothing comes out unless he wants it to.
Wonoh, what Sherwood is saying, (if true and we ARE getting it 2nd hand), fits his outbursts while at Spurs. And they wouldn't stand for it either ! The Southampton job has gone to a Dutch Coach by the way.
It would be great if we were privy to the recordings taken at his interview, but we aren't. so we guess and take sides.
I can remember a couple of job interviews where I had misgivings and pulled out, one where I wanted the job TOO much and overdid my sales pitch and ones where I fitted their criteria and mine. Those are the nicest.
Truth coming out now
superWulf, not from you it ain't !
Well Well Well the poor relations from the boggy mudflats of Sandwell Town
have been well and truly shafted !!
I wonder if Peace and you know who are doing the same thing ???????????
Yo've Just Gorra Loff Ay Ya !!!!
I wonder if that's the reason Peace won't get rid of lol !!!!!
You have to let it go and move on lads .
The Real Bully Hoo.
I've tried to keep it quiet but somehow it slipped out at a press conference that somebody sprung on me. I also turned down the West Brom job.
We spoke a number of times and I agreed personal terms for myself but my demands of 2 Page 3 girls to pander to my first team coach Cyril Randle and 1 virgin, 3 chickens and a chainsaw to sacrifice them with for my motivational trainer Max Wall were turned down and therefore it had to be a no.
Your demands were everything that is wrong with the modern game greed obviously got in the way of negotiations and JP was right to blow you out.
One page three girl would have been more than enough.
Burnley, you couldn't expect Bully and me to SHARE ???
Whatever next ?
Jim Baggie of Bromham
And where exactly did you expect to find a virgin?
JimBaggie, apparently there are lots in Heaven, 72 per terrorist but how they got there isn't known.
As long as the girls are clean and fresh, who cares whether they're virgins ?
The Real Bully Hoo.
I hear that Max is open to negotiation. Although only on the chicken question.
Kev's got Max's chainsaw so he is totally disarmed even if not disarming.
Jack the Hat
said Sherwood. "I was offered the job before we started to negotiate
Knowing Jeremy Peace and his hard ball I have this to say " I believe you but thousands wouldn't.
"I haven't got the time when I go into a club to train somebody into my own thinking.
Before you finished that sentence I bet Jeremy was standing with the office door open saying " Good day Mr. Sherwood ".
How on earth are you going to train players if you haven't got the time to tell them what you think they ought to be doing?.
You are a pure bred green horn no wonder Spurs gave you the bums rush.
I think that if Albion were a supermarket they would be Poundland on sales day!Irvine not considered good enough for Everton but lands up here with no Premiership experience.Championship here we come.Still at least Peace has looked after his finances
The Real Bully Hoo.
Everton employ a manager rather than a head coach.
Jack the Hat
Oh dear Sherwood, Koeman is Southampton's new boss, where now?.
There is going to be a very poisonous atmosphere next season down the Albion. Tried to get my cash back today for my season ticket only to be told I need to put a refund request in writing explaining why I want my money back. Errrrr basically because our follicle challenged chairman spun us a yarn about righting all his wrongs from last season. And then goes and gives the job to AFI. I'm done now till he decides to sell up. I can't justify paying anymore of my very hard end cash going in JP's private pension fund only to be treated with utter contempt by the powers that be at our club.
Mr Peace you are merely a custodian of our famous club. We all know you'll disappear like a trump in the wind once a reasonable offer comes in. Then I can resume my love affair with the club I have followed for a very long time.
Who cares, he didn't come, now we got AI, and that is the bottom line, however Do lally I don't know if the squad actually like KD, maybe they thought he was a goner at the end of the season, I just don't know, I hope AI does a good job because, if he doesn't then JP will get the wrath of an already deflated Fan base (according to the media.) Me I say just suck it and see. boing boing

Pictures of Super Moon May 5 2012 Tonight, When Is Best Time To Watch Cinco De Mayo Super Moon 2012
Mexico City, Mexico – Archmexican Priest Jaime Gonzales-Muñoz conspires with Chinese scientists to do Doomsday moon summoning rituals. The 'Super Moon May 5 2012 tonight summoning' as they call it is the latest conspiracy to realize Nostradamus' prediction that Earth will be destroyed in 2012.
Pictures of Super Moon 2012 are starting to surface and prove that the Chinese have once again been successful in their annual attempt to crash the moon into America and her allied countries. The Chinese are trying to skip the moon just like a young man and women may skip rocks on a pond during a warm summer night's eve.
But the countries the moon hit will be America, Canada, UK, France and Israel. The Super Moon is dangerous and not a part of the moon's natural cycle. Last year, the Super Moon caused the horrible and tragic tides that caused all the problems in Japan. Last year's Super Moon was brought on by Kim Jong Il's Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, a powerful reverse particle accelerator. By causing illudium fusion, the space modulator is thought to be able to attract large objects to Earth. China succeeded in bringing the moon to 450,000 miles of Earth last year, threatening to collide it if America did not give up its NASA program and space ambitions.
Deceased North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il and Chinese officials prepare their terrifying Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, a deadly weapon that was able to cause a Super Moon over Earth and threatened to smash us all unless Washington agreed to retire all NASA's space shuttles, which the cowardly Obama agreed to do.
The Chinese threatened to bring the moon within 300,000 miles of Earth, but in 2011 failed to bring it closer than 450,000 miles away. This urged the Chinese to try again and use extreme measures to get the moon closer. The Mexicans for years have had some control over the moon through the power of Satanic Mayan rituals.
Using the old North Korean modulator technology at the Zenith of Mexico's ultimate holiday, Cinco de Mayo, the Chinese have done the unexpected tonight: they have summoned the moon within 250,000 miles of Earth, at last count. This sort of Satanic power is not right. No telling what sort of demands they made of Obama. If Reagan were still president, we would be dropping meteorized nukes upon them for this, but Obama has no backbone and does not flex America's power.
My friends, the Super Moon took place tonight. Countries around the world are reporting it so.
In the great country of France, over the Eiffel Tower of Freedom we built for France after we saved them from English oppression. The Chinese would love nothing more than to wipe out France's first reminder of being protected by the warm strength of American soldiers.
Our colleagues at ChristWire New York report the Super Moon there. Look at the new Freedom Tower and notice how the Chinese are making the moon look really big behind all our monuments to American peace and prosperity.
The Super Moon 2012 is seen hovering over the Gay Bay of San Francisco. At first glance, you would think God was tossing the moon to scare the gays into repenting, but it's not so my friends. This is Satan trying to terrify us Americans! Look at how the Golden Gay Bridge teeters and totters as the Moon's gravitational forces cause the tides to go crazy and electromagnetism to go haywire! All that stuff is Satan's science and not of God!
In this image, the Chinese have made the Super Moon red with communism! In the foreground you can see Seal Team 6 has evacuated President Obama and key Congressional members as the Chinese controlled moon is gravitating by the power of Communist sulfur red commie pinko Satan science! With the chants of the Mexican priest giving the Chinese technology more evil power, the moon is just getting to close for comfort.
Here the Super Moon shines with Chinese yellow over the Cuban country of Florida.
Left to Right – Black Ravens fly over the Pope's Castle in The Vatican. The black ravens over the castle was prophesied years ago, that at the gules of Midnight and the Twilight of Satan's slumber, shall the chime that awakes the Great Sleeping Dragon (China) be heard. The Vatican has yet to release official prayers against this Chinese tyranny. Image 2: Another shot of Super Moon hovering over the holy catholic relics in the Vatican. Picture #3: Chinese direct the Super Moon behind America's holiest relic, the statue of liberty. Picture 4: The Chinese position the Super Moon behind the birthplace of modern democracy, Rome.

1. Dani (if he keeps that edge)
2. JL (LJ's favorite rider)
3. Rossi (weak front tire, no more out braking people)
4. Marquez (overrated, but well supported)
5. Bradl (cmon now, the guys got factory backing, just because its not explicitly stated doesnt mean hes not getting serious consideration/support)
6/7/8/9/10. Bautista/Cal/Dovi/Hayden/Smith
* assuming Ducati do not get in to it
Sorry, but Rossi wont finish but 3rd this year, because the tires are geared towards Jorge's 250 style. Dani will win because hes proven he can beat Jorge both as the better rider and because hes got a better (much bike (see Max Biaggi). Rossi will finish behind Jorge because hes not LJ's favorite, and Marquez will finish 3rd because hes not better than Dani (will he ever be?) I doubt Bridgestone have been ordered to change their formula, and Rossi is a better rider.
Unless Bridgestone change their formula, or Marquez is able to run a bottle of NOX, i dont see him finishing any higher than 3rd.

Fitness & Weight Loss Accomplishment of 2012
Saturday, December 08, 2012
Age: 45
Greatest Fitness Accomplishment of 2012:
My greatest fitness accomplishment of 2012 was losing 60 pounds. I began the process in March when I joined East Shore Athletic Club. I weighed 185 lbs at 5 ft 5.5 inches, my body fat was 36%, and I wore a size 14/16. To complicate matters, I was rehabilitating from knee surgery (torn meniscus) and had limited range of motion in my right knee. Needless to say, I was very unhappy with my health, appearance, and fitness level. Imagine how thrilled I am to have lost a total of 60 pounds within 7 months!! Currently, I weigh 125 lbs, my latest body fat measurement was 16.6%, and I wear a size 4. My knee is completely rehabilitated with full range of motion and I barely notice the prior injury.
What did you do to get there?
I took several measures to accomplish my fitness goals. First, when I joined ESAC in March, I also joined the K180 Fitness program and began working out with Nelson Carroll. I followed his orders and the food plan very strictly, even giving up alcohol completely and dropping cream from my coffee. Second, in addition to K180 workouts twice a week, I took advantage of the group fitness classes (e.g., Body Pump and CX works). Third, for extra cardio workouts, I used the stair machine, rowing machine, or treadmill, alternating between the 3 for 5 min intervals. Fourth, I logged my daily food intake into SPARKPEOPLE.COM. And finally, I told everyone I know that I was on a fitness program to lose weight, look better, and get healthier. This final step was to increase accountability and to make it perfectly clear that I would not indulge in lunches out, happy hours, or heavy dinners.
What is your goal for 2013?
An obvious goal for 2013 is to maintain my weight loss, decrease body fat, and continue healthy eating habits. But, I am also planning a super fun adventure!! Next summer, my goal is to summit Mt. Whitney. Not only is Whitney California�s highest peak, it is the highest peak of the lower 48 states. This hike is 22 miles round trip, has an elevation climb of over 6000 feet, and is one of the most famous extreme day hikes. To train for an elevation hike while living at sea level (i.e., Charleston SC), I am using a weighted vest while stair climbing and on the inclined tread mill. My goal is to carry 30 lbs in the weighted vest to better simulate my climbing pack. Currently, I am at 16 lbs. Over half way!

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
I'm using Outlook 2010 and exchange account via Office 365. When I'm sending a meeting request few users receives it in plain - scrambled text like:
-----Original Message-----
From: xxxx
Sent: xxxxxxxxxx
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I've already try to start "defected" Outlook in safe mode - no success. I'm the only one on the exchange, other users are using POP without exchange.
Any idea?
Thank you all for your help.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Matjaz,
Thanks for your reply.
Outlook 2003 was designed and built for an environment where servers are maintained locally within an organization and not part of a cloud service. Therefore, it is not recommended to connect Office 365 Exchange Online account to client Outlook 2003 as some features and functionality are not supported. Outlook 2003 cannot provide a better end-user experience when connected to Office 365.
In this situation, I would like to know if the issue happened when send request from Outlook 2010 to Outlook 2010.
Grace Shi
Whether you can get the meeting request normally doesn't depend on which client you are using, but for the mail servers. Non-exchange mail account may not be able to recognize the meeting request from an Exchange account, even if you have connected this account with Outlook, no matter Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007.
Reken Liu
Hi Reken Liu,
So that means that non-exchange users can not receive meeting request from users who has exchange accounts (speaking about Outllok 2003)?
That's awkward because how could you know which users are using exchange account when you send meeting request outside of your firm?
Is there any other solution or suggestion?
Thank you and br,
Based on my experience, not all the non-exchange users cannot receive meeting request. At least, Windows Live Mail can receive meeting request from Exchange account properly. This may depend on the calendar function included in the mail system. Some type of calendars may not be able to recognize the meeting request from Exchange account. If it is possible, I suggest you change to another mail provider for the non-exchange users.
Thank you for your answer. The problem is that user with Office 365 account, who is sending out the meeting request, doesn't know what kind of mail client or server the recipient users are using.
I find this very strange because:
Outlook 2010, non-exchange - Outlook 2003, non-exchange WORKING
Outlook 2010, exchange - Outlook 2003, non-exchange DOES NOT WORKING
So if we start using Office 365 and exchange accounts, the meeting request is practically useless, because you will never know what kind of mail client or server the other side is using and you will never know it they received the meeting request or not, because if they are using non-exchange on Outlook 2003, they receive my meeting request into SPAM folder.

I understand this may cause a potential issue when the external recipients are using an email system which is incompatible with Exchange meeting request format. However, based on my experience, most of the meeting request should be sent internally. I would suggest you preparer a non-Exchange account for the external meeting request. Meanwhile, you can send us a feedback about this feature, hope this can be improved in the further.

Starbucks and the Perversity of Growth
- Why Is Your Company Growing?
- Diluting the (Coffee) Brand
- The Danger of Replacing "Uniqueness" with "Bigness"
- More Perversity
- Meanwhile, Back at Starbucks
Let me tell you something about growth. Growth is necessary, particularly if you're a publicly traded company. If you're not growing, you're stagnating. Further, having clear growth goals is useful. You have to track progress and hold people accountable for results.
But growth per se is not a strategy; it's the consequence of a strategy. Strategy reflects key questions like these:
- How will we grow? (What's our special path, direction, value-add, and underlying philosophy?)
- Why did we choose that particular path, direction, value-add, and philosophy?
This distinction between growth and strategy has huge implications.
Why Is Your Company Growing?
When a company grows because it's providing the marketplace with something that excites and intrigues customers (groundbreaking business model, unique value proposition, cool product line), growth is a wonderful thing. It generates the kinds of financials that bring big smiles to investors' faces. But when growth is the company's strategy—that is, when leaders see bigger size as financial salvation, or when their strategic intent is to get bigger in the belief that bigger is better and more likely to steamroll over competitors, growth becomes a predictor of organizational malaise, if not decline.
Exhibit A on both accounts: Starbucks.
First, a brief history. As numerous business and management books have noted ad nauseum, the remarkable success of Starbucks in the 1980s and '90s was its capacity to pump compelling value into what was traditionally an uninspired commodity "coffee" industry. That value, of course, revolved around the unique experience that Starbucks offered the customer: a diverse, constantly changing menu of high-end global coffees within a casual, romantic European ambience. For its increasingly loyal customer base, Starbucks offered a predictably warm, friendly environment that the company defined as a "third place" (between home and work) refuge from the woes of the external world.
Unsurprisingly, with that sort of groundbreaking business model, unique value proposition, and cool product line, Starbucks' growth (in store locations, same-store sales, customer loyalty, margins, and stock value) exploded—even when, as the satirical jokes went, multiple Starbucks cafés sprang up across the street from each other.
Now fast-forward to 2008. The $10 billion corporation, boasting more than 15,000 stores worldwide, has seen a 1% overall drop in traffic (3% decline in the U.S.) in stores open at least 13 months—the first time that's ever happened. Starbucks has also seen a drop in profits and a lowering of earnings expectations, a significant hit to its public image and "cool" brand, and a precipitous decline in share value (40% down in 2007, 50% down since late 2006).
What happened? Well, my wife could tell you. She was one of those 20 million plus U.S. customers who used to frequent her particular Starbucks café several times a week. She would drag me along periodically, and I confess I went pretty willingly. That's because it used to be a warm, inviting place. It was a place that beckoned us with easy familiarity, a place we could hang out in comfort.
No longer. The stuffed chairs and sofa have been removed. A few small tables and wooden chairs remain, pushed to the edges of the room. The baristas no longer seem to know the customers, or care. The whole vibe of the place reeks "fast food": Get people in, pump them for multiple sales, take their order, get 'em out.
This is not an idiosyncratic situation. It's a predictable consequence of Starbucks' strategic obsession over the past decade—which has been all about unbridled growth. Launch more stores in more places, full speed ahead! Four new stores per day in 2007, as it turned out, with an immediate goal of 40,000 stores worldwide.
And why? I ask. As I indicated earlier, leaders are wise to view growth as a strategic priority. But when growth becomes the strategic obsession, there's a real danger that a company will lose its distinction and its soul. That's what happened to Starbucks.

FOLKSTON, Ga. -- June 30, 2012
Water spilling from the swollen St. Marys River is seeping into yards and rising toward some homes in Camden County.
Mark Crews, the county emergency management director, said Saturday most homes in the flood-prone area west of Kingsland are built well above ground and none have taken on any water. But the river is still rising as water dumped by Tropical Storm Debby makes its way downstream toward the coastal county in Georgia's southeast corner.
The St. Marys River forms part of the Georgia-Florida border. In neighboring Charlton County, the river reached 12 feet above flood stage before cresting Thursday. Officials estimate as many as 60 homes flooded.
Crews says 80 or more homes could flood in Camden County, but it's unknown how deep the water might get.

Accumulation basics
Personal Finance | Time is on the side of those who begin building wealth when they are young
A comprehensive financial plan addresses the accumulation, preservation, and transfer of money. A godly person gives money wisely and faithfully leaves an inheritance-but both transfer and preservation first require accumulation. Let's look at three guiding principles concerning accumulation: defining goals, using time wisely, and finding the right blend of risk and reward.
Delineating goals and objectives begins the process of seeking a specific path to each goal. "Retirement" savings (defined as having sufficient funds to meet needs once earnings decline) is perhaps the most common financial goal Americans face today. Given the rapidly escalating prices of college tuition, educational savings for kids (or grandkids) is another common goal.
The need to set goals may be obvious, but people with a distant goal often wait too long to begin accumulating-and the one resource we all have, but often fail to use, is time. Albert Einstein called compounding the "eighth wonder of the world," yet when we procrastinate we squander much of this God-created gift. The idea here is to take advantage of mathematics-to set aside some amount of money and then to benefit from compounding over time.
Consider the illustration below. You'll see that one person put in four times as much money as the other, yet they both end up with the same amount of money (assuming that each has a 9 percent rate of return). A higher rate of return would be even more dramatic, a lower rate less so, but the overall lesson is simple: The sooner we begin to accumulate a savings and investment nest egg, the better.
We need to share this lesson with our children as soon as they can understand it. Young people often feel that they are the least qualified to begin saving and investing, especially given financial pressures as they begin careers, pay off student loans, and start families. But young people have time on their side-and they should understand that time really is money when it comes to accumulation.
Another vital issue is the rate of return (also known as the "performance" of the investments). Consider this chart:
The chart shows the obvious reality that higher returns trump lower returns-and it stands to reason that an investor seeking a 12 percent return is likely to take on higher risk than an investor seeking a 2 percent return. Returns cannot be spoken of without also discussing their levels of risk. My next column will look at what time-tested strategies are available to good stewards to optimize their return, yet to do so with an appropriate and responsible level of risk.

House approves gas tax credit bills
HARRISBURG - A House vote last week approving bills providing millions of dollars of state tax credits to develop natural gas markets followed a debate over whether it would promote sound economic policies for Pennsylvania.
The House approved three bills to authorize $25 million in tax credits for companies to convert their vehicle fleets to natural gas, $30 million in tax credits for individuals who purchase large natural gas vehicles and $5 million in tax credits to companies that build natural gas fueling stations along designated corridors, including Interstates 80 and 81.
Lawmakers debated whether state government should aid the development of the Marcellus Shale industry or let the industry invest in the infrastructure to make domestic use of the natural gas being produced in Pennsylvania.
House Majority Whip Stan Saylor, R-Red Lion, touted the bills as a way to create jobs, promote clean air and reduce American dependence on foreign oil.
Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, called the tax credit for the fleet conversion "corporate welfare" for wealthy multi-national companies.
Saylor, the bill sponsor, said it's aimed at helping small businesses that want to benefit from the drilling boom. A company doing business in Pennsylvania that owns five or more vehicles would be eligible for a tax credit under the bill, he said.
Rep. Neal Goodman, D-Mahanoy City, cast "no" votes on the bills. Goodman said the bills would have had his support if they allowed small gasoline service stations to get a tax credit for retrofitting existing vehicles.
He questioned why these tax credit bills are needed since the natural gas drilling impact fee law enacted last year earmarks revenue for incentives to develop a natural gas infrastructure.
The law earmarks five percent of impact fee revenue going to a Marcellus Legacy Fund for natural gas conversion or liquification projects.
Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, was helping a constituent submit an application last week for funding through the legacy fund to convert a vehicle to natural gas.
The impact fee law is generating $10 million for the earmark in fiscal 2012-13, $7.5 million in fiscal 2013-14 and $2.5 million in fiscal 2014-15, said Kavulich.
The House plans to consider several more bills in the "Marcellus Works" package this week.

Colombia: New paramilitary groups cause mass displacement; government to recognise conflict

|Norwegian Refugee Council/Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (NRC/IDMC), Colombia: New paramilitary groups cause mass displacement; government to recognise conflict, 6 May 2011, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4dc7d37e2.html [accessed 29 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Over 1,000 people were displaced in Cauca and Valle del Cauca States on the Pacific Coast following an attack and threats from armed groups which emerged after the paramilitary demobilisation in 2006. About 1,000 people reportedly fled when members of one of these groups arrived in a locality in Cauca, opening fire and injuring two people. Meanwhile, in Valle del Cauca, 250 people fled a rural settlement to escape threats from another group. The government agency Acción Social reported that the people displaced received assistance, but no further details were available. The access of humanitarian organisations in these areas is limited because they too have been repeatedly threatened.
The government announced that it was launching a military operation to combat these groups in Cauca, Valle del Cauca, and neighbouring Nariño. While the initiative refers to the groups as criminal bands, it represents a tacit acknowledgement that their strength and reach go beyond regular criminality.
President Santos also recently signalled that the government would at last recognise that an armed conflict exists in Colombia. The acknowledgment came in a Congress debate on a victim's law, and the addition of an article stating that the law will protect victims of "the country's internal armed conflict". This acknowledgment will be significant for those affected by armed violence, including IDPs, as it may contribute to enhancing their protection through standards contained in international humanitarian law.

On Saturday, a lot of people were heading out to visit relatives or having family visit here at home. Yet it's also the biggest shopping day of the year - as people are out looking for last-minute gifts.
At Northgate Mall, many people said they started shopping weeks ago - they didn't wait until the last minute. But many came out because they're looking for deals.
So, while the children were sharing their Christmas wishes with Santa, the adults were busy finding those last-minute gifts to cross off their lists.
"Got to finish the last few things up so I can spend next a couple days preparing for the holiday itself," shopper Marilyn Simon told KOMO News.
Some stores are offering deep discounts this weekend - with savings up to 60 percent.
"There's lot of good deals out there - and of course the closer you get to the holiday the better the deals," Simon said.
Stores are also extending their hours to attract shoppers. At Northgate Mall, Macy's is keeping its doors open 48 hours this weekend.
Despite the push, shoppers said they were surprised to see just a modest crowd here at the mall - leaving them to wonder if more people are procrastinating until Christmas Eve or are watching their wallets.
Sally, a woman from Ballard who came to the mall with her husband, said they were already done Christmas shopping - they just wanted to look. But looking turned into more buying.
"One more thing, one more thing, even out everything," said Sally, "This one and that one. I can do one of those."
And as the gifts piled up throughout the day - some left the wrapping to others.
"I just bought these items, get them wrapped up, take home and so much easier," said holiday shopper Jamahl Powell.
Meanwhile, the kids just hope Santa can make their Christmas wishes come true - no matter how he gets there.
"Santa comes when you're asleep, and the reindeer come on your roof," said one.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The University of Alabama football team practiced for two hours Monday afternoon in helmet and shoulder pads, completing the fourth practice of preseason camp.
"Things are going real well," Alabama senior tight end Nick Walker said following Monday's practice. "I feel like we have picked things up the last couple of days. The guys are starting to have fun out there and things are starting to get exciting as we continue to work hard. We are working on just the basics right now, a lot of fundamentals. We haven't gotten too deep into the playbook yet."
The Crimson Tide will practice in pads on Tuesday for the first time in preseason camp.
"It's exciting," Walker said on the eve of the first day in pads. "Its fun, it's always fun to be in pads. There will be a lot of guys, especially on defense, that are going to be ready and we have to be ready too."

Jazz great Chris Vadala comes to the 26th Annual Sunbelt Jazz Festival at University of West Georgia on Friday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m.
UWG's Department of Music and the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts host the annual show for lovers of great jazz.
On Thursday and Friday before the concert, Vadala will work with the University Jazz Ensemble and the Bowdon middle and high school jazz bands. He will perform Friday evening with the bands backing him up.
Fans of jazz legend Chuck Mangione will recognize Chris Vadala as the saxophone, clarinet, and flute player on his many award-winning recordings, including the famous "Feels So Good" and "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" albums. But fans may not realize that Vadala has played on more than 100 recordings. He's also worked with world-class artists like Sarah Vaughn, Dizzy Gillespie, B.B. King, Placido Domingo, Chick Corea, Ella Fitzgerald, Natalie Cole, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, Doc Severinsen and Aretha Franklin.
Vadala holds down a day job as the director of Jazz Studies and saxophone professor at the University of Maryland.
Part of Vadala's time each year is devoted to working with young jazz ensembles in schools and colleges across the country. Vadala's passion for working with young music students is what gave Dr. Daniel Bakos, director of the UWG Jazz Ensemble, the chance to get him to come to work with his student ensemble and the local school bands. Bakos knows the impact that working with someone of Vadala's stature can have on the young musicians who participate in the Sunbelt Jazz Festival workshops and performance.
"It's not like a class, there's no distance between him and them," said Bakos, who has worked with Vadala before.
"The kids have this opportunity to see him up close, interact as equals on a musician-to-musician level," Bakos said. "And while he's teaching them about improvisation and giving them musical advice, he's also relating his own experiences, telling them about situations where he had to persevere and adjust to be successful as a professional musician. It's a great learning experience for them and gives them a sense of confidence that they have worked with him and know him and learned from him. And he's a great guy, not self-important in spite of his status. He's easy to work with, eager to share and play beautiful music. He's a role model and an inspiration for them."

Abraham Lincoln?s performance as president earned him immortality, so it?s easy to forget how ill suited the uneducated backcountry politician initially seemed for the job. William Lee Miller?s reverential new biography, which follows 2002?s Lincoln?s Virtues and covers Lincoln?s years in the White House, argues that our 16th president?s inexperience was never a liability, for his greatness resided in the uncommon moral conviction with which he steered the Union through the Civil War and brought an end to slavery. Lincoln felt certain that the secession of the Southern states would not just diminish the nation but would destroy it altogether, and he was always mindful of the significance that the success of the United States, as a popular, republican government, would have to the rest of the world. Through a wealth of fascinating examples, Miller establishes that the leader?s reputation for kindness and charity was well earned, but he reveals another side of Lincoln, a relentless commander-in-chief willing to suffer inconceivable losses in a devastating war precisely because he saw it as a righteous undertaking. He was also willing to risk his political future: in a display of principle difficult to imagine today, Lincoln refused to sacrifice emancipation or otherwise compromise his beliefs on prosecuting the war in order to rescue his flailing 1864 reelection bid (?What is the presidency to me if I have no country?? he responded when urged by his party to postpone a military draft until after the election). We of course know from the outset how this insightful, compelling book will end, but by the time Miller reaches that April 1865 night at Ford?s Theater, the loss feels more crushing than ever. –

I really like this as a winter cream, it soothes my v. sensitive skin, is very moisturizing but doesn't break me out, and ends up being good value as it lasts forever.
Love this creme for daytime. No breakouts, and doesn't irritate my rosacea skin.
This is the only moisturizer I have used that didn't make me break out. It's light and doesn't feel at all oily.
Can be used day or night. Apply a small pea size amount on face and neck. A booster serum can be added for maximum hydration.

Subject: [OMPI devel] Consequence of bind-to-core by default
From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) (jsquyres_at_[hidden])
Date: 2013-12-19 08:59:54
I notice Absoft's MTT runs are failing due to the change in bind-to-core-by-default:
I asked Tony, who runs the Absoft MTT runs; he confirms that this particular machine has 1 socket with 2 cores (and we're running -np 4 on this machine).
1. This is an unintended consequence of the bind-to-core-by-default policy: we fail with "oversubscribed!" when running on a single machine for test runs like this. Do we like this?
See #3, below, for more on this.
2. Also, the error message that is displayed says:
A request was made to bind to that would result in binding more
processes than cpus on a resource:
Bind to: CORE
Node: ltljoe3
#processes: 2
#cpus: 1
Which is odd, because the command line is "mpirun -np 4 --mca btl sm,tcp,self ./c_hello". Any idea what's happening here?
3. Finally, we're giving a warning saying:
WARNING: a request was made to bind a process. While the system
supports binding the process itself, at least one node does NOT
support binding memory to the process location.
For both #1 and #3, I wonder if we shouldn't be warning if no binding was explicitly stated (i.e., we're just using the defaults). Specifically, if no binding is specified:
- if we oversubscribe, (possibly) warn about the performance loss of oversubscription, and don't bind
- don't warn about lack of memory binding

Texas Tech Softball Shuts Out Northern Colorado, 3-0
Feb. 5, 2005
SAN MARCOS, Texas - The Texas Tech softball team shut out Northern Colorado, 3-0, for the fourth game for the Red Raiders in the CenturyTel Texas State Tournament. With one runner on base, senior Kelly Rhyne nailed a homerun over left center in the first inning to total the score to 2-0.
The Red Raiders silenced Northern Colorado allowing only five hits for the Bears during the game. In the sixth inning, freshman Jenninfer Corkin hit a double to left center allowing Rhyne to score and bringing the score to 3-0.
"We did a good job coming back in the game this morning," said head coach Teresa Wilson. "We came out strong in the afternoon. We are still working on executing the fundamentals but we look forward to the opportunity to improve."
The Red Raiders fell to Texas State in the first game of the day 7-5. Tech rallied in the sixth, but it was not enough to hold off Texas State who came back in the bottom of the sixth to defeat the Red Raiders.
The Red Raiders two-out rally started when freshman, Devin Zaragoza scored on a single to right field from sophomore Brandy Moulin. The Red Raiders loaded the bases and freshman Jennifer Bowers slammed a homerun over the right field fence.
The Lady Bobcats scored one run the first inning, three runs in the second and sealed the victory with three runs in the sixth.
The Red Raiders will finish competition at the CenturyTel Texas State Tournament on Sunday, Feb. 6 at noon when Tech faces the University of Texas at Arlington.

Facilities Friday: Cultural shift for Facilities Managers ...... Smarter Building Technology makes it happen

Last week I attended the Energy Council Open Forum on Smart Grid and Smarter Buildings hosted by North Carolina State University. During this event we heard from a panel of local business leaders in the Smart Grid/Smarter Buildings field. As Dennis Kekas, Assoc. Vice Chancellor at Centennial Campus, NCSU hosted the panel including David Davidson from Eaton, Steve Cole from IBM, Dr. Jing Xu from ABB, Glenn Lampley from Progress Energy and Phil Davis from Schneider Electric, one thing was clear, everyone in the room was excited about smarter buildings. Just like with any new technology, excitement is always there, but people usually just want the solution to be complete! Is it ready yet? Are we there yet?
An undertaking to create a "demonstration prototype" at NCSU that will showcase smarter energy technologies for a Smarter City is the end goal and would be the first in the southern U.S. Quite a daunting goal!
A common thread we heard was that the main obstacle with getting started with the facilities maintenance team is the resistance to change. Understandably, for experienced facilities managers who have maintained facilities for any length of time, they have established processes that ensure reliability and keep their tenants happy! They are very reluctant to upset the apple cart with change that could impact happy tenants!
I decided to research this further and went to interview two facilities professionals from IBM's Real Estate Site Operations (RESO), Greg Peterson, Manager Global Energy and John Lepper, Research Triangle Park (RTP) Site Energy Coordinator. IBM RTP is IBM's 4th largest energy consuming site, with 4M square feet. Before we dove into their current processes, I wanted to know how the RESO team in Research Triangle Park, NC first accepted the transformation proposal and what the psychology was around it. How did facilities engineers, many with over 20 years on the RTP campus, accept the new tools & the changes to their jobs?
John explained that the transformation at RTP, NC came because of the results seen at IBM Rochester, MN RESO. It's hard to argue with 9% reduction in energy utilization! Soon, the facilities engineers were using IBM Intelligent Building Management, which is integrated with IBM Maximo Asset Management and runs on top of their Building Management System and seeing results. They went from saying "leave me alone" to "wow, this is really cool"! Huge cultural shift & hard to argue not only with the energy utilization reduction & cost reductions, but also the productivity improvements. Their jobs are easier!
Greg and John summarized the benefits of combining a bottoms up approach (aka input from the workers) with a tops down approach (aka management directive focused on cost savings) to achieve optimum productivity and ROI. Currently at IBM RTP, NC they have seen $100K in savings since implementing 4 months ago.

Given the speed at which government departments function, and their bankrupt state, the new found emphasis on public private partnerships (PPP)for the cleaning up of the Ganga, for constructing new railway lines for a bankrupt carrier, model railway stations, and a lot moreis not surprising. Indeed, it is reassuring since, if a new railway track has to be constructed by the private sector, it suggests the tariff setting will have to be rationalsince most private firms will need to be given a 16% return on equity, presumably the tariffs will eventually need to reflect this; how else will the railways pay the private firm?
That is the theory, the reality can be quite different, as India has seen over the past few years. PPP cannot be the answer to everything, indeed it is very complex and can be heart-breaking; if the lessons of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) are anything to go by, there seems to be a bit of a blowback in this critical PPP area.
There are, to begin with, very serious issues of gold-plating that need to be dealt with. In the case of Reliance Industries Limiteds (RIL) KG-D6 oil basin, the allegations of massive gold-plating of costs have not only jeopardised the project, they are threatening to derail Indias entire gas exploration programme. That there has, so far, been no outcry over giving international prices to local producers of crude oiloil minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said this cannot be done for gasis surely due to the perception that RIL has diddled the government of funds. As a result of the gas prices not rising, even the public sector ONGC is not going to be able to explore for more gas in the offshore blocks with it.
Dealing with this means, in the case of the petroleum sector, moving away from the current cost-recovery model to a revenue-share one. Even this, however, is not the end of the matter since there are allegations of contract-manipulation even here. In the case of the GMR airport in Delhi, the problem revolved around what was considered to be revenue as the group had won the bid by promising to share 46% of topline with the Airports Authority of India (AAI). As part of the deal, GMR was given 250 acres of land to develop commercial realty, to offset some of its costs. While asking for interest-free deposits on the advance rentals on

- Xcent from Hyundai: Performance to price, what's in it for you?Hyundai Xcent launched in India, priced tagged at Rs 4.66 lakh, to take on Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Honda AmazeHyundai Xcent launched in India, price-tagged at Rs 4.66 lakhHyundai Xcent review: The Accent is dead, long live the Xcent
Amid sluggish market conditions, Hyundais domestic sales have started looking up, thanks to new launches, including the latest Xcent compact sedan. The company is confident it can extend the April growth momentum till the end of the year, with the Xcent and Grandi10 set to play a major role. It is exploring new geographies for Xcent exports, which it plans to begin soon. Also, Hyundai will ramp up Xcents production to lower the waiting period, says Rakesh Srivastava, senior vice-president (marketing & sales), in an interview with R Ravichandran. Excerpts
Hyundai seems to have turned the corner on the domestic front with 9% growth in April.
Of course. We were struggling in the first two months of 2014 owing to the overall slowdown in personal cars. While January recorded degrowth of 2.6%, February saw a marginal decline. However, after the launch of Xcent, things changed on the domestic front with 3.4% growth in March, followed by 9% in April.
Xcent has received an overwhelming response. Within six weeks of launch, we have received more than 16,000 bookings and aproximately 200,000 enquiries. We have delivered 6,700 Xcents in April 2014 and become No. 2 in the 45,000-units-per-month compact sedan segment, after Maruti Dzire. We hope to deliver 10,000 units in May. There is a significant rise in footfall at dealerships across regions, and most dealerships are witnessing record daily bookings. We hope to maintain this momentum.
There is a strong perception that a new car finds buyers for a few months. Is that true of the Xcent?
History shows that Hyundai products have been in great demand. The Grandi10, launched in August/September last year, is one of the top players in the compact hatch segment and had nearly 83,000 customers in last 7-8 months, with average monthly sales of 10,000+ units. Xcent, a compact sedan based on the Grandi10 platform, will do equally well and be our major
driving force.
The Xcent has a waiting period of 2-3 months depending on variants. Are you ramping up output?
We are continuously working on operational efficiencies to cater to demand and lower the waiting period. We will certainly look at ramping up production capacity and reducing the waiting period sharply.
In fact, compact sedan happens to be the fastest growing segment with monthly sales of 45,000-50,000 units. And its been growing at more than 27%.
Do you plan to export the Xcent?
We have been Indias leading exporter for years, with 46%

Is there any point in leaderboards?
I was getting the Perseverance achievement and say that the top 3 people have all the same exact score.
Now, what is the point in these boards if they just get glitched straight away. It's been like it since the day after the game came out.
I remember playing the trial a day or two after it came out and all there was is over 2 million scores.
The Devs have said on the Signal forums that they are working on a title update to get rid of the glitched scores. No timetable unfortunately.
lol i like how this one guy has 1,000 wins and 0 loses

After declining for eight consecutive months, merchandise exports grew 0.8% to $25.6 in January 2013, but imports too during the first month of this year increased by 6.1% to $45.6 billion. As a result, the trade deficit widened further to almost $20 billion, a rise of 14% as compared to January 2012.
Cumulatively during April to January 2013, exports were $240 billion, down almost 5%, while imports at $470 billion in the same period resulted in the trade deficit widening to $167 billion this year as compared with $155 billion last year. The deteriorating trade balance has pushed up the current account deficit (CAD) to an all-time high of 5.4% of GDP in the quarter ended September last year and is expected to rise further. In fact, Reserve Bank of India Governor D Subbarao had reiterated his concern about financing the CAD with volatile capital flows, and projected the deficit to touch a record high in the current financial year.
A Citi Research note says while exports are more sensitive to global demand rather than the rupee, imports will remain high due to oil and gold. Citi expects the rupee to trade in the range of 53-56 against the dollar over the next 6-12 months and given the elevated levels of CAD, the note underlines that the rupee retracing back to 2011 levels is unlikely. Capital flows, though buoyant, have been barely sufficient to finance the CAD and this is likely to keep the currency under pressure.
