How the Slideshow App Works
What You'll Learn
In this article you will learn how to set up a Slideshow app. This app is meant to have a succession of sliding images for showcase.
Steps to Set Up a Slideshow App
1. First, log in to your site, and go to the shelf > Apps and locate Slideshow. 2. Click (and drag) the "Install New" button. Release it in a container of your choice. Then, once the app loads, you will see a series of sample default images sliding to the left every 6 (or so) seconds. The initial count for these sample images is 3, but you can add or remove items as you need. We'll get to that in a minute.
Update Images
3. To change one of these sample images, double click on it. You'll notice a green overlay highlighting the image when you hover it. 4. The image-editing window will open. Here you can do some resizing or cropping, or add a value for the alt attribute. To replace the image click the "Replace" button. 5. From the dialog box that appears, you can select an image file from your computer, or enter a web URL. And click "Save". You can repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for updating the rest of the images.
Reorder Items
6. If you want to change the order in which they appear, click the "Reorder" button, located at the bottom right area of the app. 7. A modal window will open, with a list of the items you currently have. Mouse over each item and notice a light-green overlay highlighting them, and your mouse pointer changing into a four-directional arrow. To change the order, drag and drop an item to the desired position: Then click "Close" on the top right.
Add More Entries
8. Now, if you want to add another image, besides the 3 you currently should have, go to the app toolbar, and locate the icon with a page and a plus sign. Click it, and another image will be added to your slideshow.
Remove Items
9. On the other hand, if you have too many items or want to delete one of them, click on the "X" on the lower right. Doing so will delete the currently-showcased image. If you want to delete another one, you'll have to wait until it's shown.
App Settings
10. And lastly, the options. To open them, click on the wrench icon, located on the app toolbar. 11. The following options are available, as shown in the image below.
- Stay on Image For (Seconds). Here you will enter a number in seconds for an image to remain visible before the next one slides/fades in.
- Fading Speed. This option sets how fast you want the transition to be made.
- Effect. You have two options: slide and fade.
- Propagate Style To All Pages. Selecting this checkbox will copy the styles of current app to all the pages where that same app version is installed. Styles include margins and padding, borders, drop shadow, etc.
And that's basically it. Try the Slideshow app in your site today, and showcase one or several sets of images! If there's something not covered here, let us know in the comments below!

In the past couple of years, Moby's music has migrated from the underground to grace our ears in mainstream circles, such as the radio and television commercials.
AppealTalented, humble, creative, good-looking, descendant of a famous writer, rich, successful, down-to-earth, tickets to the industry's hottest shows... What do you think?
SuccessMoby first made waves in the early 1990s with his pounding rave anthem "Go." Another track that affirmed Moby as a DJ and producer who could get a crowd going with the drop of a needle was "Oil 1," which subsequently crossed over to the mainstream when it was featured in the soundtrack of the Val Kilmer movie, The Saint.
Over the years, Moby's name has become synonymous with versatility, after offering adrenaline rushed releases such as Everything is Wrong and even rock releases like Animal Rights.
Like many others producers and remixers, he has used aliases such as DJ Cake and Voodoo Child over the years to show a different side. Ironically, Moby need not use an alias as his increasingly large legion of fans have come to expect the unexpected from the eccentric man.
One thing that was unexpected by even the most loyal of Moby supporters was the tremendous success of his fifth official album, Play. The eclectic album offers blues, rock, hip-hop, dance, and everything in between. It received anywhere from Gold to Platinum status in the US, France, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Ireland, and the UK. Furthermore -- and this is jaw dropping -- Play is the first and only album to be licensed out to TV, movies and commercials, in its entirety (all 18 tracks).
Movies such as Any Given Sunday, The Next Big Thing, The Beach, Play it to the Bone,Body Shots, and Big Daddy are just some of the mediums that Moby has used to market his album.
Unlike many artists that get blasted for gaining tremendous commercial success, Moby seems to have gotten off fairly lightly. One reason is that he is genuine and friendly in nature. Others, however, criticize the native of New York City for aggressively promoting his work in such a manner, with accusations of selling out. Nonetheless, it only adds to his accomplishments and business know-how. After all, something must be good to have created such a demand in the world of licensing.
For better or worse, it is this combination of creative genius and business acumen that explains why Moby's Play has sold over 10 million albums worldwide.
To further capitalize on his tremendous commercial success, Moby organized "Area: One" a.k.a. "Mobypalooza." The summer festival (aptly nicknamed after the Lollapalooza festivals) was Moby's effort to bring together artists in rap (Outkast) and electronica (New Order and Paul Oakenfold).
Moby BiographyIf the last name Melville sounds familiar, then you wouldn't be surprised to discover that critically acclaimed DJ Moby is related to the renowned author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville. Nicknamed Moby, Richard Melville Hall was born September 11, 1965, in Harlem, New York.
The son of Elizabeth Mcbride Warner and James Hall, Moby proved to be musically inclined when he started playing guitar at the age of nine. By the time he was 14, Moby had joined his first band, and followed it up by joining a hardcore punk band in 1980, called the Vatican Commandoes.
diving into new waters
Although he was playing in bands, it seemed Moby was destined to dip his toes into DJing, especially when he got his first 4-track recorder in 1982 and started recording music in his basement. A year later, Moby was part of AWOL, yet another band.
After having lived in Danbury, CT, San Francisco, CA, and Darien and Stratford, CT -- respectively -- Moby began DJing at clubs and cafes in the East Coast, namely at The Beat in NY and The Caf in Greenwich, CT. In the mid-'80s, Moby returned to performing by joining the band Caeli Seoul.
By the time he was in his fourth official band, Gin Train, Moby relocated to New York City for good, where his recognition as a club DJ spread throughout the club scene, starting with his DJ gig at New York's Mars.
Despite his "rocky" start as the member of several punk bands, Moby became entranced by dance and house music in the mid-'80s. In 1989, Moby got a break when he was signed to Instinct Records, and broke through the UK music charts with the Twin Peaks theme song-inspired "Go," off his debut album, Early Underground.
making records
In 1992, Moby released his self-titled album and that same year, he made The Guinness Book of Records for the song "I Feel It"/"Thousand," which climaxed at 1,015 bpm, making it the fastest single of all-time. A year later, Move and Ambient were released, both on Mute/Elektra Records, as Moby had left Instinct.
In 1995, Moby's first official full-length album was released, Everything Is Wrong, triggering a consecutive run of successful albums. 1996 saw the release of Animal Rights, while Voodoo Child-The End of Everything and I Like To Score were released in 1997. Two years later, it was the end of everything for Elektra Records and Moby, who had left to sign with V2 Records for North America.
Although Moby was always a staple of the British club scene and the New York club circuit, he reached mainstream audiences with the multiplatinum 1999 album, Play, whose name was inspired by graffiti that Moby saw at a neighborhood playground.
With singles such as "Porcelain, "Bodyrock," "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" "Southside" (which also featured an appearance by Gwen Stefani), and "Natural Blues," Moby offered audiences an eclectic mix of every musical genre, from rock and blues to dance, and even ambient music.
playing over and over
Not only has Play spawned a series of hit radio singles ("Porcelain" and "Southside"), but it has also gone down in history as the only album to have licensed out every one of its tracks (something you would notice if you saw the movies The Beach, Any Given Sunday and Play it to the Bone, and watched a string of television commercials).
Following up Moby's most acclaimed album to date, Moby Songs was released in 2000, a compilation of the DJ's 1993-1998 Elektra singles, although you can still hear many of Play's releases in film and television.
The philosophy graduate is also a devout Christian, environmentalist (he refuses to travel by car as it pollutes the environment), animal rights activist, Simpsons fan, and vegan. Moby is also an avid Democrat and pacifist, and is never shy about making his political views known.
After a tour that took him throughout Europe and North America, Moby was last on the scene as organizer of the Area: One summer festival tour, which featured acts such as Outkast, Paul Oakenfold and Nelly Furtado.

|The thing I recall the most was accidentally kicking out my gear down and left below me while I was staring at that crappy bolt. It should be replaced. Other than that, great route!

The thing I remember most is falling off the final crux roof following Rich Gottlieb and shredding his new rope.
The first crux (on P2) was done on the FFA by traversing left then up and back right. Easier, but scary.

rating: 5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c
|After I eeked through the crux on pitch two, I was convinced that it was necessary to belay below the final roof (I may have read this in the guidebook or maybe I just made it up, I don't know). I would not recommend belaying here as the rock isn't that solid and the stance is less-than-comfortable. It would have been better to continue to the top of the cliff, as Josh's description suggests. The final roof, though intimidating, wasn't as hard as the lower crux. It was more awkward than hard.
By Tim Schafstall

|P1 is a bit soft for 5.9 (new Williams' guide downrates to 5.8) and is a better option to start Airy Aria - a much nicer pitch than that sometimes wet, slick, offwidth on P1 of Airy Aria.
By Chris Beh
Jul 7, 2010
|I led the whole thing in one pitch, from the ground, with double ropes in 1986. I had enough slings to keep the rope drag manageable even on the final roof. Which kicked my ass like other super, scruncy Gunks classics (Swing Time, Pork Roaster, Arachnias). I whippped off the last overhang 2 or 3 times, with rope stretch and an expert, Mileski style Joey split finger, dynamic belay by Stokey Baker, the ride must have been 40 feet. But I could get back on above the lower crux and I'd just yo yo up for another go.

|Did this back in '99 or '00 one cold October day. My feet cut out on the traverse under the final roof. Campused for a move or two and did a wild dyno to a jug. Yikes! I haven't dared a repeat, though I do fantasize of it.

Just did this route yesterday. A heads up to anyone trying the route, the bolts are extremely suspect. The first bolt is relatively new, however it's bent and not set it the hole well. I would't trust it to hold a big fall. The second bolt is a complete joke, don't bother even clipping it. It would't hold my cat on aid. The route in my opinion currently R.
By MojoMonkey
Sep 19, 2013
|It's been a little over a year - anyone know if the bolt status is the same? Pulled out? Replaced? Sounds like there is no reasonable gear options for a while if the previous poster indicates it as R climbing...
By Jon Clark
From: Philadelphia, PA
Apr 19, 2014
|The bolt at the 1st crux is good enough to protect the moves. The hanger isn't bent, but it is a spinner. The route is spicy, but not because of the bolt's condition. If you blew the 1st crux, the fall would be short (provided you'd already clipped the bolt). I also think 11a is a sandbag as an onsight. I thought it was in the same league, but not quite as hard as the third pitch of Enduro Man.
By fatum
Oct 7, 2014
|Finally did it on an October weekend. I couldn't find the no hands knee bar before the crux. Maybe I am too short for this to feel secure (5 feet 9). Second bolt was completely a suspect. The #2 after the crux is critical. Without it you are looking at a long fall with big swing. There is actually a very decent rest stance before going up for the final traverse. Great route definitely.
By Sean McAuley
May 26, 2015
Some thoughts:
-The bolt is probably fine. If you blow the crux you'll literally have the bolt at your waist, but:
-It may be a good idea to clip the bolt with a 2-footer. The placement of the bolt leads to having your rope run hard over the sidepully flake just below the crux, and there is possibility for some core damage if you take a big fall and the rope gets loaded hard across that edge (maybe clip it with a beefy nylon sling as well). A 2ft sling may lengthen the fall, but it's all air.
-The climbing after the crux is not particularly hard, but is very delicate and has the potential for disaster if you blow it before the critical #2 placement.
-Make sure your second is up for the challenge. After unclipping that bolt, a fall would produce a big swing with some tiered roofs in the way. They also would have some difficulty getting back on.
-The upper crux (crab crawl) is only hard if you're tall, for one move right at the end when you need to scrunch up.
Overall an absolutely fantastic route and deserves both the accolades and the respect it gets. And I agree with the above, 11a felt super sandbagged for the onsite (I actually thought the Yellow Wall was easier because the moves are so straightforward on that climb).

rating: 5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c R
|The 40 ft section between the 2 cruxes felt R to me - the only piece of pro is a very shallow #2 about 15 ft up and right of the bolt, then another 25 ft of delicate 5.9 climbing with no gear. A fantastic, varied route otherwise.
By Sean McAuley
Jun 8, 2015
Just did this climb again and I think the #2 is good (though it is a bit shallow, it's in solid rock and all lobes are within the horizontal). Also, there are good C3's in 2 seams (kinda shallow corners) above the #2. So I don't think I'd agree with 40ft of runout. However, there is definitely a lot of Rish 5.10 delicate climbing in must not fall territory (for the leader and the follower).
Also, I did this again just after No Man's Land and a week or so after my last time on the Yellow Wall and both me and my follower agreed this is the hardest and most intense of them all (also the most awkward). Can't beat the position on the traverse though!

|It's a bit of a shame as it will take some excitement out of the route. I never thought the second bolt was necessary for a safe enough free ascent.

|Sean is right, and Bababata missed a few good placements (I got a Ball Nut and a perfect blue Alien in two different cracks). I feel that section is probably 9+/10- PG.
By kendallt
Oct 20, 2015
rating: 5.11b 6c 23 VIII- 23 E3 5c
|So the bolts are replaced as mentioned, but also moved. Instead of both bolts being above the crux there's now a bolt to clip before moving up to the first crux, and another bolt after it. I agree that it's probably a less exciting lead, but also safer (previous option was to whip on a #1 c3 below your feet if you missed clipping the first bolt)... with the location of the bolts this route is definitely PG.
By Max Shaffer
Apr 19, 2016
|Fantastic route. I on-sighted this route this past weekend, and I have to say that I thought P1 was a solid 5.10a. Delicate moves above RP's and black aliens. No gimme for sure. Oh, and P2 is awesome (obviously).
By Simon Thompson
From: New Paltz, NY
May 18, 2016
rating: 5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c
|Attempted P2 onsight last week. With the shiny new bolts this feels really safe and accessible at the 11a grade. The only runout part is when you diagonal up and right after bolt number two but this is on 5.8 terrain and probably the about the only low-angle part on the pitch. The fixed anchor at the lip of the final roof should be removed or replaced. The pitons are movable by hand and the static rope that comprises the rigging is incredibly sun-bleached. It's pretty easy to place a bomber piece after the lip and the jet up and right on easier terrain to the GT ledge rap station. If you want to make an anchor right above the lip for a TR there are plenty of gear spots. No need for a fixed anchor there imho. I thought the "traverse" at the end wasn't that bad even as a tallish person. There is a reachy move getting established in the roof that you could call the upper crux. Amazing route can't wait to go back for another dose, probably need more caffeine next time though...
By SethG
May 18, 2016
Reading your comment about the fixed anchor is giving me the willies, Simon. I spent a fair amount of time hanging off of that anchor in recent months! I did not realize the fixed pins were that bad.....
About the alleged runout: I don't think there is any runout. Yellow number two Camalot goes in right after the crux and then there is a little vertical crack to the left which takes a bomber nut. If you miss the nut placement it may seem run out.

rating: 5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c
|Carbs would be a proud and difficult onsight! The loose piton in the fixed anchor is no longer there. The other gear does look okay still. Definitely worth replacing this anchor soon. I would really recommend going to the top of the cliff to the Airy Area Tree and rapping there for a 40 or 45 meter rappel until the preserve puts bolts over the lip. Who knows if that will happen though?? Josh's description of the crab crawl is hilarious yet spot on!

WTVP Headlines
Premieres Tuesday, January 10th at 8:00 p.m. on WTVP-HD with Billy the Kid
Wednesday, December 28th, 2011
– The Real Story Behind the Wild West's Most Notorious Heroes, Outlaws,
Legends and Desperadoes –
television's most-watched history series and the recipient of 30 Emmy Awards, will launch its 24th season this in January
with a month-long re-examination of some of the most controversial and mythic figures of the Wild West. The western series
begins with a new look at
Billy the Kid
on January 10. Directed by John Maggio (The Lobotomist, Kinsey), Billy the Kid reveals
how a skinny Irish orphan boy from New York City became the most wanted man in the West. Then, on January 17,
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE premieres
Custer's Last Stand,
an illuminating new two-hour biography of one of the most celebrated and controversial icons of nineteenth-century America,
directed by Stephen Ives (The West, Seabiscuit).
"We're thrilled to start our 24th season by presenting the real stories behind two of the most mythologized
figures of the American West," says AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Executive Producer Mark Samels. "While many of us have heard the phrase
'Custer's Last Stand,' that watershed event can't be truly understood without really getting to the heart of who Custer was
— a charismatic, complicated, flawed, egotistical and brilliant general. His life and career provide a fascinating lens
through which to examine the story of America in the second half of the 19th century. And Billy the Kid may be the most
fascinating and enigmatic of all the Western icons. His life was so short and we know so little about him, which left lots of
room for the legends that were created about him. This new film reclaims Billy and explores his journey from the slums of
New York to the vastness of New Mexico, where he finds himself at the intersection of three great worlds: the Mexican, the
Native American, and the incoming Anglo world. As with Custer, we dig deep to reveal who Billy really was and what he can tell
us about the American West and ourselves."
In addition to the premieres of
Billy the Kid
and Custer's Last Stand,
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE will present encore broadcasts of
Wyatt Earp,
Annie Oakley,
and Jesse James.
Now airing on Tuesdays, the complete broadcast schedule of the Wild West collection follows:
Billy the Kid - Premiere
Jan. 10 from 8-9:00 p.m.
Written, Produced and Directed by John Maggio
On April 28, 1881, twenty-one-year-old Henry McCarty, alias Billy the Kid, just days from being hanged for murder, outfoxed
his jailors and electrified the nation with the latest in a long line of daring escapes. An outlaw with a deadly reputation,
the young man was finally gunned down by an ambitious sheriff just a few weeks later; his capture and death was front page
news. The Kid was soon mythologized by a never-ending stream of dime store novels and big-screen dramas but, in all the
tellings, Billy the Kid's real story has been obscured. This new biography tells the real story of the skinny orphan boy who
became the most wanted man in the West.
Custer's Last Stand - Premiere
Jan. 17 from 7–9:00 p.m.
Produced by Amanda Pollak; Written and Directed by Stephen Ives
This two-hour biography of one of the most charismatic and contradictory American leaders of the 19th century takes
viewers on a journey from Custer's memorable charge at Gettysburg to his lonely death on the windswept Plains of the West.
Along the way, viewers learn how this supremely ambitious son of a blacksmith ricocheted from triumph to disaster, from
battlefield heroism to impetuous escapade. In the end, Custer's reputation was saved by the wife he adored, who almost
single-handedly turned the Battle of the Little Bighorn into one of the most iconic events in American history and
mythologized Custer's role — turning it into a tale of heroic sacrifice with only the most noble of motives.
Wyatt Earp - Encore Broadcast
Jan. 24, 7-8:00 p.m.
Written, Produced and Directed by Rob Rapley
Wyatt Earp has been portrayed in countless movies and television shows but these popular fictions belie the complexities
and flaws of a man whose life is a lens on politics, justice and economic opportunity on the American frontier. He was a
caricature of the Western lawman, and after his death in 1929, distressed Americans transformed him into a folk hero: a
central figure in how the West was won, a man who took control of his own destiny.
Geronimo - Encore Broadcast
Jan. 24 from 8-9:00 p.m.
Produced and Directed by Dustinn Craig and Sarah Colt
As the leader of the last Native American fighting force to capitulate to the U.S. government, Geronimo was seen by some
as the perpetrator of unspeakable savage cruelties, while to others he was the embodiment of proud resistance. Geronimo
originally aired as part of the acclaimed series We Shall Remain; watch the entire series online at
Annie Oakley - Encore Broadcast
Jan. 31 from 7-8:00 p.m.
Produced and Directed by Riva Freifeld
She was the toast of Victorian London, New York, and Paris. She was "adopted" by Indian chief Sitting Bull, charmed the
Prince of Prussia, and entertained the likes of Oscar Wilde and Queen Victoria. Annie Oakley excelled in a man's world by
doing what she loved, and won fame and fortune as the little lady from Ohio who never missed a shot.
Jesse James - Encore Broadcast
Jan. 31 from 8-9:00 p.m.
Written, Produced, and Directed by Mark Zwonitzer
The story of Jesse James remains one of America's most cherished myths — and one of its most wrong-headed. A product of
the American Civil War, James was less heroic than brutal; America's own Robin Hood who robbed not only the rich, but
the poor and defenseless as well, always saving the treasure for himself.
MARK SAMELS (Executive Producer) Under Samels' leadership, the series has been honored with nearly every
industry award, including the Peabody, Primetime Emmys, the duPont-Columbia Journalism Award, Writers Guild Awards, Oscar
nominations, and Sundance Film Festival Audience and Grand Jury Awards. Samels also serves on the Board of Governors at
the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Prior to joining WGBH, Samels worked as an independent documentary filmmaker,
an executive producer for several U.S. public television stations and as a producer for the first co-production between
Japanese and American television. A native of Wisconsin, he is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin- Madison.

consistently enriching program on television" (Chicago Tribune), and "a beacon of intelligence and purpose" (Houston Chronicle).

present. Acclaimed by viewers and critics alike, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentaries have been honored with every major broadcast

Location: URI 331
Instructor: Hitendra Wadhwa
Pricing presents managers with one of their most powerful levers for maximizing profits and shareholder value. The objective of this course is to prepare students for addressing strategic and tactical pricing issues and identifying profit-boosting changes in pricing practices across a range of professional contexts. The course establishes a foundation for effective pricing decisions by teaching key economic, analytical and behavioral concepts associated with costs, customer behavior and competition; introduces students to advanced pricing techniques that aim to create additional value, including dynamic pricing, segmented pricing, pricing structures and promotions; and highlights practical applications of these approaches within specific industry contexts.

Shopping is often top priority on a trip to Greenwich. Downtown hosts fine retailers like Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren and Saks Fifth Avenue. Greenwich and Putnam Avenues are the epicenter of the platinum-card shopping spree. On Greenwich Avenue, for example, the iconic Richards of Greenwich packs its two levels with high-end fashions. Gucci, Prada and Saint Laurent goods are commonplace at Richards, and trunk shows bring the likes of Brioni and Michael Kors. Or, for that perfect painting to mount over the Steinway, well-heeled shoppers head down the street to AMT Fine Arts.
If all that spending has wearied the traveler on a trip to Greenwich, there are plenty of fine restaurants at which to refuel for another go at the luxury circuit. Chef Jean-Louis Gerin lends his name and his refined French palate to Restaurant Jean-Louis. The James Beard-winning chef intends to pass on his legacy by teaching at New England Culinary Institute. If Asian flair is the taste of choice, diners head to Tengda Asian Bistro. Stylish exposed brick and steel set an urban backdrop for fusion fare like lobster tempura rolls and firecracker shrimp.
Fashion and food are not the only reasons to visit Greenwich. Other attractions range from polo matches to nature centers and historic sites. The horseback game of polo, that most high-brow of diversions, takes place at Greenwich Polo Club in the summer and early fall. The Audubon Society of Greenwich boasts nearly 300 acres of parkland bird habitat, where in early fall, hawks take center stage. History buffs may seek out the eighteenth-century Bush-Holley House, once part of an enclave of impressionist artists like John Henry Twachtmann.
Visitors might think they have to hit New York City for nightlife, but Greenwich holds its own in after-hours spots. Though a 20-minute drive from Greenwich, The Loft is often full of cocktail-seeking locals and visitors—maybe it's the siren call of its Food Network-lauded chocolate martini. The Thirsty Turtle has dancing, comedy and karaoke, and the Silvermine Tavern hosts live jazz Thursday through Saturday nights and serves a hearty Sunday brunch.
At day's end, tourists head to the water's edge for a luxury stay at the tri-level Delamar Greenwich Harbor Hotel, set just a short walk from downtown. Guestroom linens are Italian made, to match the hotel's villa aesthetic, and on-site L'Escale spa provides the perfect remedy for "shopped-out" muscles. Or for local, historic flavor, the restored eighteenth-century Roger Sherman Inn in nearby New Canaan has 17 rooms and an English bar that would fit right into Downton Abbey.

Flesh and Bones Candle: Love It or Hate It?
Usually I stay away from over-the-top and cheesy decorations, but I make an exception for Halloween. I love all crazy and haunting decorations, from hanging witches to smiling pumpkins to spooky skeletons. When I found these Flesh and Bones Candles ($7.99), I was extremely ecstatic and disturbed at the same time. Wouldn't a mantel look gorgeous lined with these candles? Or perhaps you could use them in an elegantly scary centerpiece for a Halloween dinner? What do you think?

In case
Asked whether they would introduce a new product line in Australia if both the wholesaler Metcash and supermarket giant Coles agreed to buy it but Woolworths did not, the answer from an huge majority was "No".
Manufacturers, say industry sources, talk about Woolworths as a verb, not a noun – as in, you get "Woolworthsed" or not. With about 44 per cent retail market share in the packaged grocery sector,
As the No. 3 player in the national grocery market with about 19 per cent share in the packaged grocery sector, Metcash, which has fought hard to combat the dominant Woolworths but in the last few years managed to steal share from Coles, is under increasing pressure to hold its ground as Coles stages a revival.
Now, investors are also starting to fret about the damage that a resurgent Coles, under the ownership of
Reitzer has conceded that Metcash's liquor business is struggling to grow against an aggressive, volume-driven strategy from Coles, which lures buyers from pubs and clubs into its stores with heavy discounting.
In grocery, there are whispers of suppliers considering taking their support away from Metcash in favour of Coles, where sales growth in the last half-year period is thought to have exceeded both the broader market's and Metcash's.
Add to that the spectre of lower food price inflation, forced rationalisation of the distribution business that supplies independent convenience stores, the troubles at FoodWorks, which generates about 8 per cent of revenue, a declining share price and the recent addition of hardware to Metcash's list of priorities – and it seems unlikely that Reitzer, who is often seen out on the greens at Pymble in Sydney's north shore, will have much time for golf.
At an investor briefing in Sydney this month, Reitzer did his best to present a plan of attack. After the departure last month of IGA distribution division head Lou Jardin, Metcash for the first time articulated a succession and talent development plan. As well as detailing a 10-year succession plan, it talked about talent development and performance management. It was an effort to soothe investor concerns sparked by Jardin's sudden move, which came after Reitzer signed a new, three-year contract to stay on until 2013. Jardin was thought to have been keen on Reitzer's job but the good news for investors was that Metcash managed to find an internal replacement, Silvestro Morabito.
The other aspect of Reitzer's new contract – a minimum retention bonus of $3 million in 2013 if Metcash achieves 5 per cent compound annual earnings per share growth – is also of concern for shareholders. The target of 5 per cent compound annual EPS growth is half the rate achieved by Metcash over the past five years and has many in the market asking whether Metcash's days of double-digit growth are over.
The short answer is yes. Reitzer himself has lamented there won't be another Foodland, referring to Metcash's $900 million acquisition of Foodland's Australian wholesaling assets in 2005, which lifted earnings by about a third in the first year.
This year, the forecast is for EPS growth of between 7 and 10 per cent, and some analysts expect the number to be closer to the bottom end of the range.
But that doesn't mean Metcash is running out of growth options: while fresh produce wholesaling is the biggest opportunity, a move into hardware is another important step in the battle against Coles and Woolworths.
Reitzer admits his sales in fresh produce, which are forecast to hit about $1 billion this year (including bakery and meat products as well as fruit and vegetables) capture less than a third of a potential $3.5 billion market.
IGA retailers have traditionally had their own relationships with fresh produce suppliers and many like to go to the market themselves to buy. If they are ordering fresh produce through Metcash it can take 24 hours before the produce arrives at the store.
Reitzer is trying to address the issue by buying up smaller suppliers, rationalising their supplier base, cutting more deals at the farm gate and doing deals with the likes of chicken retail franchise Leonard's.
In Western Australia, Metcash recently spent more than $10 million to buy a meat-processing plant that can supply IGA supermarkets and reduce the cost of employing butchers in the stores. The result has been so encouraging – the plant was working at full capacity after just three weeks – that Metcash is looking to buy two meat- processing plants on the east coast.
Metcash has not publicly articulated its growth targets for fresh produce, but Reitzer is thought to have told each of his state-based fresh produce managers that they should be adding one store to their distribution network each week.
The company is also out trying to match Coles and Woolies in the marketing war as Australian shoppers, having proved resilient throughout the global financial crisis, become more value-conscious. At Metcash, for example, a 50 cent discount on a $1.50 item has sparked customers to buy six or seven times the usual amount, compared with a year ago, when they were content to buy four times.
It's no surprise then that retailers are falling over each other to promote their offerings as being the greatest value. Coles kicked off the battle in January, announcing uniform pricing across Australia on about 97 per cent of its supermarket range. Woolworths followed suit, saying it would permanently reduce prices on 3500 packaged groceries and cut prices on thousands more grocery lines in response to customer calls for cheaper and more consistent pricing.
As of last week, Metcash has "locked down low prices" with a new campaign that will reduce prices for more than 3000 items at IGA stores for 12-week periods for the rest of the year. The program is being fully funded by suppliers.
The concern for some investors, however, is how long Metcash can continue to rely on the support of its suppliers. Now that Coles is growing faster – in the December half, it recorded higher sales than Woolworths for the first time in more than a decade – it no longer makes sense for suppliers to support the smaller player.
Coles's sales from outlets open more than a year rose 6 per cent in the first half and 5.9 per cent in the December quarter. In comparison, Woolworths' comparable-store sales in food and liquor increased 4.8 per cent during the first half and 3.8 per cent for the second quarter.
Analysts say that Metcash, which posted wholesale sales growth of 6.6 per cent in the six months ended October 31, while IGA's same-store sales rose 6.4 per cent, has not grown as fast as Coles in the last half.
Manufacturer relationships are crucial for Metcash, which essentially makes its money from buying, not selling. It earns service fees from independent supermarkets for the logistics and merchandising terms from suppliers. Metcash's trading terms with suppliers can include up to 37 different components, Stock profits are believed to make up about 10 per cent of the company's earnings. - are not disclosed and investment buying is widespread.
Although Metcash provides its retail partners with services such as business development, marketing and merchandising, its main revenue driver is buying and logistics, according to Macquarie Equities retail analyst Greg Dring.
"Metcash are traders and make their money from buying, not selling," Dring said in a note to clients. "Management indicated that these stock profits may be crimped by as much as one-third due to the recent deflationary environment," Macquarie Equities analyst Greg Dring told clients in a note.
Lower food inflation, partly linked to the strength of the dollar and recent weakness in prices of commodities like wheat, is hurting all Australian food retailers at the moment.
Food inflation has fallen from between 3 and 5 per cent between 2007 and 2009 to between flat and 1 per cent, while there is deflation in fresh food because of an oversupply.
Merrill Lynch analyst David Errington believes it could be a structural issue for the industry.
"Irrespective of what food inflation actually turns out to be, the prospect of costs rising faster than prices in the future is real and is likely to cause a material drag on the food retailers' margins," he told clients in a note late last week.
"If food inflation falls by 4 per cent this year relative to last year . . . Metcash's earnings before interest and tax to sales margin would be expected to fall by 54 basis points," Errington said in a note last week.
Reitzer has said he expects the situation to improve and is concentrating instead on things he can control, like improving his liquor offering as Coles's big-box 1st Choice outlets continue to win volume under the leadership of Tony Leon, who helped set up the hugely successful Dan Murphy's chain.
Metcash says that the only area where it has been affected by the Coles revival is liquor and elsewhere the Wesfarmers-owned business has merely stemmed the loss of market share, rather than winning any of it back.
Metcash and its team at Australian Liquor Marketers, headed by Fergus Collins, are preparing to launch a new liquor strategy in the next two months. The aim is to drive 5 to 6 per cent sales growth to "on-premise" customers like pubs and clubs – a segment that is flat to slightly negative right now.
The plan is expected to include a direct response to Coles's offer of up to 44 payment-free days for businesses that sign up for the 1st Choice customer account card. Metcash, which started parallel imports of beers such as Stella last October to avoid paying higher prices from licensed brewers locally, will step up that strategy as well.
Reitzer continues to repeat his mantra that Metcash is not a chain, for the wholesaler must differentiate itself from Woolworths and Coles and play to its strengths of localised retailing to give customers a genuine alternative.

"Overall, Raytheon Aircraft had the best quarter" in its history in terms of financial performance, said William Swanson, chairman and CEO of parent Raytheon Company. According to the company's first quarter results released this morning, Raytheon Aircraft delivered 44 business jets and turboprops compared with 27 in the same period a year ago. In the quarter, the company booked orders for 45 turbine airplanes versus 34 last year. No orders were shown in the first quarter for the Hawker 4000, which has yet to receive full certification. Nevertheless, this was the "best first quarter for bookings in six years," said Raytheon Aircraft chairman and CEO James Schuster. "Turbine aircraft are about 70-percent sold out for the year, well ahead of where we were at this time last year," he added. Meanwhile, Schuster addressed the continuing delay of the Hawker 4000. "I'm happy to report that we are about done." He said the super-midsize jet should complete the final 15 hours of a 150-hour function and reliability test next week and the company will then hand in all the paperwork for FAA review. "It's been a long haul, but we are just about there."

Nursery failings led to horrendous incidient involving my DS(65 Posts)
Hi all, I need to share something awful that happened to my DS at his nursery this January - to make parents aware of the totally shocking state of operation that some nurseries are allowed to get away with , and just because a nursery has an Ofsted certificate it counts for nothing. Please please don't assume anything with your childcare. I've been left completely traumatised and unable to sleep since the incident.
On 30th January my 18mth old DS was involved in a horrific incident at his private nursery, he had only been attending for 7 days before it happened. He was left to sleep in a room with no adult supervision and on the same mattress as another child that had known behavioural problems with many biting incidents (this child had bitten my DS on the face the week before). The room was checked at 12:50pm and not again for another 10 minutes, at which point they discovered my son screaming and covered in blood. I have the most horrendous photos. He suffered a sustained attack whilst he was sleeping, by this other child. There was no adult in the room to supervise and stop anything happened, and by the extent of the injuries I think no adult could have come to his aid when he first started screaming. His whole face had been hit, bitten and scratched, including under his chin, his arm, and most shocking both of his ears were torn behind each one, which had to be glued back when he finally got to hospital.
Not only this, the nursery then did not call me for 3 hours, or take him to hospital or call an ambulance for 3 hours. According to Ofsted they handed my DS around and took photos of him. Then waited for the other child's parents to come into the nursery to view my DS, so they could understand the extent of their child's problem.
I am devastated and outraged by this.
Ofsted have since investigated the nursery, and this is still ongoing. But they have discovered that this nursery had a catalog of failings - no processes and procedures in place, no health and safety, no deputy manager, only the owner was first aid trained, who was not always on site, and my son was in fact cared for by a non-first aider. Not all her staff were CRB checked, not all staff were suitably qualified and did not know how to stimulate the children. The staff to child ratios were wrong, the list is endless - please read the current report.
You may ask yourself why on earth I put my children in this nursery, and I ask myself that question every day. But I went to look round the nursery twice with my DP, and I had friends who had children going there and gave me positive feedback, plus they were Ofsted registered.
However IMO they abused the trust of parents, and fooled everyone in the level of care they were providing.
What I have learned is that Ofsted stands for nothing. In fact this nursery had an Ofsted health and safety inspection 2 weeks before this incident, and they passed the inspection. But when the Ofsted team went in to investigate my complaint they found no health and safety procedures in place - which made the building not safe. So I am shocked that they got their Ofsted certificate 2 weeks earlier. Ofsted were not doing their job properly IMO, and as a result my son experienced this horrendous and traumatic attack. If Ofsted had been doing their job properly the nursery would either not have been allowed to open, or they would have made sure they had correct procedures in place.
I've also learned that due to their huge failings Social Services have requested that they are closed down, but Ofsted seem powerless to do so. I've been told by Ofsted that they have the most amount of power before a license is granted, but then it's virtually impossible to take it away again.
As a parent you would only leave your child with someone that has an Ofsted certificate, because you believe this is the regulatory body that ensures quality. But it's meaningless IMO.
My plight is to make all parents aware of this. To make parents scrutinize providers more, to be more demanding. Before this happened I would never have thought to ask to see a nursery's CRB numbers etc. You assume this is the job of Ofsted, and they wouldn't be registered without these basics. It's outrageous that this can be allowed to happen.
This particular nursery is trying to change I believe, although I still believe they should be shut down as they should not be profiting from childcare given their total disregard for child safety , but it's the bigger picture I want to highlight. That of Ofsted's failings, and to stop any other nursery from operating in this manor.
My children are now in new childcare, and I'm sure you can imagine that I have asked to see all certificates for everything. My older DS is at a new nursery, and my 18month old is now with an amazing childminder... who has shown me her first aid certificate, CRB checks, qualifications etc.... it doesn't stop me worrying every day though and driving myself insane with guilt and anxiety over their well-being.
ADME, I didn't see your post first time round, but I've just read it now and am heartbroken for your and your DS. I admire your bravery in not only having to deal with the aftermath of the event, but being willing to go public and raise awareness of serious failings.
I have now watched the Dispatches programme. I think you're very brave (along with the other parents including one tragic case). Thank you for making this public.
Yes. Thanks for whistleblowing and giving other parents the benefit of what must have been a hideous experience for your family'. It is really shocking.
ADME, thanks for letting us know about the programme. I saw your original thread and remember your story which is just awful. I watched the programme and found it shocking that these nurseries can just re-register and as you said, that Ofsted reports don't really mean anything. It's a lesson to me not to take these things at face value.
I do hope your little boy is fully recovered (and also that the other child is getting the help he must need ) . But also congratulations for taking this on - it must have taken courage to relive it but you've done us all a service.

I have only just read this thread now, wasn't on MN at the time. I felt sick when I read your OP, I have 9 month old twins and feel really emotional reading what happened to your poor boy.
I am not surprised you eventually decided to stay at home with your boys, I would have been the same as you could never trust anyone again could you?
I am glad that the 'nursery' has been closed down and that you have taken part in the dispatches programme but I am so sorry for your ds. His injuries sounded horrific

OMG ADME, I didn't see your thread at the time. Horrifying. Hope your ds recovered from his injuries, the poor sausage. I'm glad you found counselling helpful and extremely glad you managed to get the nursery shut down.
Also well done on working with Dispatches, the more pressure on Ofsted and DFES to actually do the ruddy job they are supposed to do the better. Smacks of the healthcare regulator, the CQC, ignoring the failings at Winterbourne View, the private care home where people with learning disabilities were abused. Ofsted need a rocket up their jacksies just as the CQC did.
Thank you for the update OP. I am not surprised you were so shocked and horrified. I'd have been apoplectic with rage.
It does no-one any favours - parents and children obviously but nurseries too - for this to happen.
I can't believe the staff didn't call you immediately. Why were they even thinking about showing the other child's parents your son? The attack was the consequence of their poor supervision, whatever issues that child had.
I was cursing my nursery last week because they called just to let me know that my DS had been a bit weepy and they wanted to check if he had been feeling ill/slept well as he is normally cheerful. I was annoyed at being pulled out of a work meeting for something "unimportant". After reading your story, I appreciate that they keep a close eye on him.
Your poor, poor little boy. I am glad you have found lovely childcare for your DC now. All the best. X
ADME: I think of you and your DS daily when I walk past the grim shut down building of iplayandlearn! (I wonder if we frequent the same playgroups ) Thanks for the update and the heads up on the program
Thank you for your update, I remember your thread well.
I am very thankful that the nursery shut down, just a shame it took such a horrendous incident and a long list of failings to do it.
The changes to the Ofsted ratio's are, in my opinion, going to be abused by poor quality providers.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their comments on my thread. I was questioning my reaction to what happened to my son, if it was normal to be so upset, to not be able to get over it or let it go. I wondered if I was over reacting, being stupid for being so upset. And all your comments normalised it for me. Made me realise that my reaction was normal and understandable, so thank you it really helped.
Anyway a year on I just wanted to say that some very positive things have come out of telling my story. Firstly the nursery was finally closed down, stopping any other child suffering at the hands of the incompetent owner. On a personal note I did get some counselling which helped a lot, thank you for your advise. Although a year on my anxiety levels have still not returned to normal, and I suppose they never will. I took 2 months off work to look after my boys in the immediate aftermath which was nice to have some quality time. But since going back to work Ive struggled so Ive just quit work for good to look after my boys myself, which is a good thing.
From this thread and others I have written lots of people have said they will now question their nursery more and not take it for granted that everything is in place just because it is registered with Ofsted. The NSPCC have issued new guidelines on what parents should be looking for in a nursery. And finally Dispatches have commissioned a programme on this very topic that will appear on Channel 4 next Monday, 11th February at 8pm, to ask the question how safe is your nursery. Bringing to light Ofsteds failings in allowing nurseries to operate in this awful manor, and not safeguarding children. I am interviewed for this programme along with 2 other parents who were so badly let down. Hopefully this programme will force Ofsted to be more accountable, improve their processes, make nurseries realise the awful consequences of not having in place all the health, safety and welfare procedures this should have, and make parents more demanding and question their childcare provider. All of which should push up the standard of care.
omg as a nursery worker and mother i am shocked and disgusted by what has happened to your little boy, i understand incidents happen but dear goodness that was just negligence, to leave him for 3 bloody hrs suffering is a disgrace, i actually cant understand how they are still open! why on earth was he sharing a mattress? surely at his age they wud still put them in cots? and how legally cud they only have 1 person first aid trained? if i was u i wud make sure every parent that has a child in that nursery knows what happened to your child! they cant stay open with no business!!
Oh you poor thing and your poor, poor son. I do hope he's OK now.
You're right though. Ofsted is a complete waste of resources. It should be consigned to the dustbin. I haven't a good word to say about them really.
Agree that counselling will help you get past this. Good luck.
oh this made me cry How is he now? I'm so sorry this happened, it is horrific.
Counselling is a really good plan. How horribly traumatic.
Thats is shocking!! I'm so sorry to hear this and completely shocked! 100% that nursery should be shut down!
scary story
i went on to their website- it is very out of date - talks about vacancies for july 2010
large sections under construction
can the police be involved in any shape or form
civil action?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
That sounds horrific, I'm so sorry for you and your DS xxx
omfg this is awful..hugs to you and your ds xxx
OFSTED are spineless
OP there is a raging debate on AIBU thread - under FIL - about this very issue, some nursery workers have bravely gone on to say that SOME nursiers are not all they seem, staff lie, pick on children, leave babies, and some people are attacking those nursery workers saying they must be awful as well!
I wish you would post your story elsewhere so people can be aware of this. I worked in old peoples home a long time ago and its same set up - there are great nurseries, staff people - but also some bad!
What an absolutely horrific experience OP, my heart goes out to you and your DS. Heartbreaking.
I didn't realise the nursery didn't call an ambulance for the child with burns!
BTW there is no problem with identifying poor nurseries publicly if there is publicly available documentation referring to complaints and problems (for example the document on the Ofsted website I referreding to in my last post) and you confine yourself to reporting the facts, which can be corroborated in the official documentation and any other paperwork Ofsted etc would have relating to the complaint. In other words, it would be fine to say "My DC had an accident, this is what it was, it weas preventable, I reported it, they did nothing, I think this nursery neglected my child." It would not be good to say, "This terrible nursery is run by an ex-stripper out to make a fast buck through baby farming," as you'd be laying yourself wide open to a lawsuit. <caveat - I am not a lawyer but I do have extensive professional experience in education>.
For matters of serious public concern, a third way to speak in public without fear of being sued is be an MP raising something in the House of Commons. For example, there was a case of an Ofsted inspector who hounded a teacher until she killed herself, and this was raised in the HoC as a means of getting the person's name out in the open without fear of censure for everyone, where a court case was not possible (presumably).

Robert Redford
Jump to
Robert Redford's all-American blond good looks and subtle, sardonic sense of humor made him one of the most popular leading men of the late 1960s into the 1970s in features like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969), "The Sting" (1973) and "All the President's Men" (1976). Along with his peers Warren Beatty and Paul Newman, he was one of the rare movie icons who could balance being both a respected actor and an undeniable sex symbol, seen most effectively with his heartfelt turn in "The Way We Were" (1973), a timeless romance which caused many a female heart to flutter. Aging gracefully, he branched out, wisely parlaying his acting fame into an Oscar-winning career as a director, and becoming a patron saint of sorts to independent filmmakers by establishing the Sundance Film Festival and Sundance Institute, as well as numerous critically acclaimed projects that supported original moviemaking outside the Hollywood system.

Q: Your thoughts on Cory Clouston's performance?
A: We're all in the last year and that's what I requested last summer. A one-year deal and that's what I want to do that on an ongoing basis for myself so… that I know this speculation comes up every year…. the coach likewise because I suggested a one-year contract for myself that I thought that leaving Cory and his staff in the same position was the right thing to do depending on what happens during the year. Am I happy? I feel for the fans. I feel for the organization right now that we should be a better team. I think our performance in some of the games lately has not been nearly adequate. I didn't see the Toronto game but I heard that the effort was not a very good effort. I've met with the coaches this morning and I've met with the players this morning and I indicated that we're not happy. That we're very unhappy. What I believe we're all obligated to do in this business is to work hard. That we're all obligated to put our best foot forward as many days possible as we possibly can. I don't think that we've done that at the level that we should have and we're not happy about it. Going forward, I hope that's not the case any longer.
Q: Are you looking to make deals. Basically, is anyone and everybody available?
A: I don't say that. I know that I see comments in that area too. When you don't win, you have to have an idea of what you want to do going forward. And we have. If we win some games here and stay in contention obviously, we have a plan for that. If we don't win some games going forward and we're getting closer to the deadline, then obviously there are a lot of players who might be asked about and then I have to consider it.
T6S: Contention? Sweet Jesus…
Q: Inaudible.
A: I don't think anyone wants to walk away when the team is not performing up to scratch. I've had a pretty good run in this league and I'm really proud and pleased of that. And I want my team to play at a high level and I want this team to be competitive. I think anybody who really covered this team before I took over as a manager understood what we had to do to make this an organization that going forward would be one that contended one on an annual basis. We were short in depth and our drafts had not been up to scratch. And I have to say this, that watching five or six of our young players that our staff, not me, but our amateur and pro staff have done a really good job of selecting over the last couple of years players who have potential to play well in the National Hockey League. I certainly don't like the downturn that we have taken recently. For me to say yes or no at this moment, that's not… obviously I'm a fiery guy. I'm a guy who wants to be around and I want this team to be on the upswing when I step a way.
T6S: Yeah. Informed fans should understand that Muckler was a plug who decimated an organization that was filled with young and talented assets. And yeah, kudos to Murray for maximizing the value that his staff seems to have with their respective draft picks. If they hadn't, Ottawa would be no different than a team like the Minnesota Wild.
That being said, in no way, shape or form should that excuse Murray from being criticized for what he has done in terms of asset management at the NHL level. The free agent signings, the trades, it all goes beyond accumulating prospect or AHL depth.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the prospect porn and realize that it will take time for these guys to get to the NHL level but to play devil's advocate, there is no guarantee that any of these players (sans Karlsson) will establish themselves and be difference makers at the NHL level.
Murray's direction for the team was to remain competitive while rebuilding the depth in the organization. To date, Murray's only accomplished half of that goal. (Note: My apologies. Two playoff victories in three seasons shouldn't be considered competitive.) He simply can't sweep his mistakes under the carpet by distracting us with the organization's prospects ("Oooh!!! Shiny new toys!!!) and hope we won't notice.

Shiny new toys!!!) and hope we won't notice.To hang your hat on the work done at the minor league level and junior ranks is insulting to fans.
Q: I'm don't know if this is a fair question but do you expect Cory Clouston to finish the season?
A: I'm not going to answer a question like that because I don't know. We go to Chicago and come home and play Tampa and then we go on the road the following week. I can't answer that honestly. I've talked to the staff about that. We're all in a position where we have to do a better job.
T6S: Murray doesn't exactly sound like a guy who is on stable ground himself.
Q: Is the team in need of a shakeup?
A: Well, I can tell you is that at the start of this year, I thought that some our younger guys would step up. The indication was, that we were a little shorthanded in the playoffs but Peter Regin and Nick Foligno, guys of that nature, kind of filled a real void for us. We didn't beat Pittsburgh but I thought that individually, they played real well for us in this series. But I really expected that some of the young players and some of the veteran guys… you know when you're hoping to have a good team, you bring in a veteran NHL defenceman, which I did, to upgrade certain areas of the team. Not the overall team but the power play and the offensive part of the game and none of that has really happened. And the result is that we haven't won enough games.
I don't know that we need a major shakeup. We have a plan going forward – one way or the other. I've been trying to make a move or two but in this day and age, if it's not dollar for dollar exactly… In Buffalo, I sat with a number of general managers and I've had a lot of phone calls. We're just, in a couple of cases, make something fit and if it doesn't, then we have a team that needs to play better. And I believe that this is a good enough team to play better.
T6S: Murray's braintrust erred in their assessment of how good this team was in their current state and brought in a veteran NHL defenceman to complement a core that wasn't worth complementing. And it's unfortunate that he overpaid. Badly. (Note: Which he did.) Because now the organization is saddled with another bad veteran contract.
And hopefully I speak for everyone when I say that I'd like to see the Senators spend less time on their plan for contention.
Q: Are you frustrated with your inability to make a move Bryan?
A: It's difficult. I think every manager I've talked to felt the same way. "Damn, we'd like to do this but we can't because of money." I have talked to managers who can't even pick a guy up off of waivers, if I suggested to do that, because they don't have permission from their owner to do it. It's a tough situation with the CBA the way that it is to make trades. A couple of teams were able to do it because they had space but now they're tight against it too. The two or three teams that have made a move now.
T6S: Obviously he's referring to Brian Lee here. Q: Did you look at Michael Leighton at all?
A: No.
T6S: Stop gap solution. No more so than waiting for Pascal to get healthy.
Q: What's the plan for Chris Phillips?
A: I have a plan. I had a meeting with Chris yesterday. You see, you guys are asking me about doing this or that… I can't put this in the paper because if it doesn't happen or something doesn't happen. We are ready. We have a couple of year plan here. We are ready to do what we have to do and it's based on performance all the time. If we run to the deadline and we have no chance whatsoever, then there will have to be some moves made.
T6S: Why wait until the deadline when the sellers market is at its smallest? If you start marketing assets now, there's greater demand. Mind you, the financial constraints to make moves now is more difficult but can be manipulated by taking on expiring contracts. Q: Would calling up Robin Lehner be on your radar here?
A: That's a good question and that's a question that I asked the coaches this morning. I wished that Robin would have made another stop against the Russians and be in the final game tonight against Canada. It would have been a heck of a test for him. I thought he played well in the tournament. I thought there were a couple of situations where I'm afraid, I see why we sent Jared Cowen back. He has improved so much. His mobility for a 6'5″ guy and the use of his stick and his defensibility. He wouldn't have maybe gotten that here because he wouldn't have got the opportunity and the ice-time here. This experience is terrific for him and it's like Robin: do you do it now or do you wait a little bit longer? I think what I would like to do is let him play in Binghamton over the weekend and see what I do and make a decision based off of that.
T6S: More shiny new toys! Considering that Lehner doesn't even have all that many games of professional experience under his belt, is it even worthwhile to expose him to this team's porous blueline and lack of offensive support?
Q: Pertained to Luke Richardson's attendance at practice.
A: I asked him to come back and come back and help. I know that he's a very well respected coach, man and person. To get him back and around the team in tough times. He's had a tough time but to get him back around the team, I believe that it would provide a little bit of a spark for us. I think that the players have a tremendous respect for him and I think that him being on the staff and at being at the meeting this morning alone with me… I think is going to be beneficial.
Q: What's Melnyk's reaction to this latest downturn?
A: I talk to Eugene fairly regularly. I think I've stated the attitude that none of us are happy. He's realistic. We have talked about where we're going; what we're doing. He obviously wants to win every night like all of us do but he's very much in the discussion mode about what we can and cannot do here and how we're going. Losing to Toronto in particular for him and being from Toronto and for us, we don't like it. And I know the reaction was not good based on that but other than that, he's been… on going discussions are okay. But he's not patting me on the back really hard but he's not so out of it that we have to do drastic things here. You guys can make those decisions. We just have to do what's best for us going forward.
T6S: Why am I not surprised that The Euge has some sort of insecurity complex when it comes to beating the Leafs?

I had 2 implants placed in the back of my mouth about 4 years ago. I have been noticing when I floss or touch the inside of my gums, it is very painful. I just noticed that the entire gum line, on the inside of teeth, is very black and gums appear swollen. The surgeon not only put them on top of a nerve so I have no feeling on half of my lip, gums and some teeth and chin permanently, but there is a huge space under one of them that food gets trapped and can not be cleaned with dental floss.

Infection under dental implants
Problems with Implants done 4 years ago
You need to see another oral surgeon or periodontist. Now! Let them take a look at the work you had and evaluate the problems. You had them done four years ago and why did you let this numbness go on for so long if you knew they were placed on a nerve? Now you are having other problems. Do not go back to this doctor. See one that can help you since you have a myriad of problems here. Good luck and do not delay!
Can Dental Implants fail and become infected?
I am so sorry to hear about your experience with dental implants. We use a 3D cat scan machine and top of the line implant systems when performing these type of procedures. I always thought that if a patient experiences permanent numbness after an implant procedure that the doctor is held accountable. I would seek a different professional to help guide you. Good luck.

Implants can fail and create infection
Implants can fail and create infection for a number of reasons. What you are describing points to few issues. Without X-rays it is difficult to say. But it sounds like the implants were placed too deep and this can cause a host of problems. Do visit a Board certified oral surgeon . You do need to attend to it even if it is a simple periodontal issue. listen to your body, it is never wrong.
Infection on Implants
It's possible that the implants are failing. Only an X-ray will tell for sure.
Sounds like there are multiple problems, however, and perhaps you should get a second opinion from a Board Certified Oral Surgeon.
Infections CAN happen around implants
However, some complaints people have relate to the restorations themselves. The contours and shape of crowns on implants is different than a tooth, and pockets are deeper. Also, if the implants are close to each other, a black triangle can form. It isn't pathologic, it just isn't pretty.
Go see the dentist asap and see what is going on.

Serious issues
This is a significant problem. Likely, you are losing bone and potentially the thicker, protective attached gum tissue. This can happen for several reasons, but the important thing to do is to have them evaluated by a very good clinician. Perhaps a really good periodontist in your area may be able to help. Sometimes compromised areas can be dealt with and maintained with increased frequency of professional cleanings and the addition of some oral home care aids like a water pik. But this problem cannot be evaluated over the internet. You need a very good, quality/comprehensive care professional to evaluate and recommend how to address your situation.
Infected Dental Implants
Sounds like you have a few issues going on. You must go and see your dentist and / or the surgeon that placed the implants.myou should not have numbness.mifvthis is the case from the beginning then the implants were placed into the nerve canal and they should have been backed out immediately after you noticed the numbness. The other way it could have happened is if the surgeon drilled to deep. Was the surgeon a board certified oral & Maxillofacial surgeon, a periodontist or just a general dentist. This issue should have been addressed years ago. As far as the infection goes, sounds as if the implants were not placed i correct position so that the crowns are not an ideal shape . This is causing peri implant iris and needs to be addressed otherwise you will the implants will fail and you will need bone grafting and replacement. Without photos and radiographs this is speculative. You need to have this checked out before more damage is done
Never, Ever Put Up With Implant Pain!
So sorry to hear of your problems. Please, please go seek another oral surgeon, preferably a board certified Oral Surgeon. You need their kind of help. Do not waste any more time. Your dental infection can spread to the side of your face and you do not want that! Best of Luck to You. Dr. N . Summer Lerch

WSJ Photos: Organ Returns to St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York
One notable part of St. Patrick's Cathedral, undergoing a three-year restoration, was starting to be slotted back into place: the main organ, which returned on Thursday.
The organ was dismantled and removed in June 2012 for restoration and repair at the Peragallo Organ Company in Patterson, N.J., according to cathedral officials.
Workers estimate it will take two days to re-install the hundreds of pipes.
