I've been furiously doing battle with a broken elevator at work (and, one might argue, some broken souls), but I'm still alive (the elevator might not be).
Later today, I am driving back to Montreal, for a week's rest. I will be walking on the mountain with my former boss, having dinner with two women priests I admire greatly, hamming it up with Caroline and her slide whistle at the ABQLA conference, and spending hours reading (hopefully). On that last point, here's what's under my wing-back chair at home ('cause I am off work for, you know, 9 days. I have to have some back-ups):
Here are some Saturday treasures for you to digest with your coffee:
- A Letter to a New Branch Manager, by Tara Kressler - some sound advice here. #1 is absolutely crucial (I have heard other teams disparage new branch managers who didn't follow it) and #2 is probably my biggest take-away from the last two years of supervising. But oh hell no, I am not dressing up. So don't ask.
- I am off to Battle Decks. Everything in that bio is true. Watch out.

Unbeknown to me, George was working on something for GetReligion that was a big picture look about how the New York Times handles the Arab-Israeli conflict. He did an admirable job and I heartily recommend reading that piece.
However, I'm going to hit that same issue again just a few days later.
When a major world leader singles out a major American news organ and blasts its coverage of his country, that's a significant development. Even odder, this incident prompted relatively little discussion or notice -- especially in media critic circles.
There are some obvious reasons why this is the case. It's probably not surprising that the liberal editors of The New York Times don't think much of the right-wing government of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Still, when the Times asked Bibi to pen an op-ed for the paper he could have respectfully declined. Instead, Netanyahu, who's not known for his subtlety, fired off a response blasting the paper for asking him to do so, given what he sees as the newspaper's bias. Then, turning up the heat even more, he leaked his broadside to the Jerusalem Post:
[Senior Netanyahu adiser Ron] Dermer made clear that this had much to do with the fact that 19 of the paper's 20 op-ed pieces on Israel since September were negative.
Ironically, the one positive piece was written by Richard Goldstone -- chairman of the UN's Goldstone Commission Report -- defending Israel against charges of apartheid.
"We wouldn't want to be seen as 'Bibiwashing' the op-ed page of The New York Times," Dermer said, in reference to a piece called "Israel and Pinkwashing" from November. In that piece, a City University of New York humanities professor lambasted Israel for, as Dermer wrote, "having the temerity to champion its record on gay rights."
That piece, he wrote, "set a new bar that will be hard for you to lower in the future."
Interestingly enough, Dermer also lodged this criticism against another specific op-ed:
Dermer also took the paper to task for running an op-ed piece by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in May that asserted that shortly after the UN voted for the partition of Palestine in November 1947, "Zionist forces expelled Palestinian Arabs to ensure a decisive Jewish majority in the future state of Israel, and Arab armies intervened. War and further expulsions ensued."
Those lines, Dermer wrote, "effectively turn on its head an event within living memory in which the Palestinians rejected the UN partition plan accepted by the Jews, and then joined five Arab states in launching a war to annihilate the embryonic Jewish state. It should not have made it past the most rudimentary fact-checking."
That it did find its way into the op-ed pages of the "paper of record," he wrote, showed the degree to which the paper had not internalized former senator Daniel Moynihan's admonition that "everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but ... no one is entitled to their own facts."
OK, now I know what many of you are thinking.
GetReligion doesn't generally concern itself with op-eds or editorial stances. However, I think that these journalistic critiques offered by the Netanyahu government raise a couple of relevant issues of interest to readers of this blog. Yes, there is expected to be a strict wall of separation between news and editorial -- I once worked at a paper where they moved the editorial writers' desks for fear that the proximity to the newsroom would encourage editorial writers and news reporters to have conversations with each other. But that doesn't mean expected journalistic standards for news coverage stop at the door of the editorial department, allowing opinions to reign supreme.
Now it's one thing to accept that someone doesn't agree with you, but people are less inclined to let disagreements slide when they feel that the arguments being used against you are dishonest. Netanyahu's government is trying to establish that the New York Times' Israel coverage is unfair, not because of honest disagreement but because the Times is using editorial license to distort the factual record.
That's a pretty serious accusation. Netanyahu was hardly alone in thinking that "pinkwashing" piece was disconnected from factual reality. However, the dispute here isn't about the specifics of the piece, so much as it is asserting that the entire premise is broadly untrue. This argument against the piece pits American cultural politics against perceptions about how religious tolerance is actually practiced in Israel, a very diverse society. Even if you think one side in this debate is more wrong than the other on balance, there are lots of specific circumstances that could be cited to challenge assumptions all around.
Because the disputes over Israel are largely driven by acrimony between two religions, it seems like the tendency is to try and argue every dispute as black and white where one side is morally superior. Along these lines, I certainly see why Dermer was annoyed that the paper let Abbas elide over the inconvenient details regarding how the Arab states rejected the U.N. plan and launched and offensive war. But, and I say this as someone who's spent a great deal of time recently excoriating the media for passing opinions off as facts, I'm not sure Abbas' statement can be seen as anything other than interpretative.
Perhaps you can argue that the sins of omission in Abbas' statement are discrediting, but there's a very fine line between that and saying the paper should have rejected his version of events as a matter of "fact-checking." Everyone likes to use "the facts" as a cudgel, but in the process of pummeling their opponents, people are far too willing to pretend something is an objective truth when it's not.
I don't know what the New York Times' current policy on this is, or whether a more stringent attitude toward fact-checking would have resulted in Netanyahu being more pleased with the paper's coverage of Israel.
However, I will say that one of journalism's dirty little secrets is that almost no columns or op-eds are fact-checked before they go to print. (USA TODAY is one of the few outlets I'm aware of where they make a point of running op-eds through a separate fact check in addition to the typical editing routine where they may or may not catch any errors.) The attitude seems to be that since it's labeled opinion, the byline will suffer more damage to its reputation than the outlet where it was published.
One can debate whether or not the Times is entitled to let its editorial freak flag fly here or is so biased against Israel it's willing to let the facts be distorted. But I do think instituting a higher standard of factual rigor on op-ed pages would be helpful -- particularly on religious issues -- which are often the most complex and divisive issues addressed by columnists. How more factual rigor would be instituted, I'm not sure.
Would you be more inclined to read certain columns or op-ed pages if you knew they'd been through a fact-checking process before publication? And I also wonder if, despite the "wall of separation" between news and editorial staffers, does there come a point where a disproportionate and egregious editorial opining starts to affect your perception of the paper's credibility and news coverage on particular topic?
I think we know where Netanyahu comes down on these questions and it's pretty absolutist. For his part, Bill Keller, the former executive editor of the Times, has essentially argued that the Times is unbiased on politics, but not culture, morals and religion. Unfortunately for Keller, Israel is a Gordian Knot comprised of all of those aforementioned ideological strands. So I'm curious to know what factual standards you think opinion pages should adhere to to preserve their credibility.

I often see Karate students who are in poor shape. Sometimes these include yudansha (black belt holders and even instructors).
Getting in shape is part of Karate training. We often say this. However, I do not mean that students can only get in shape by Karate training.
In fact, I would say that Karate training is just part of getting into shape. Students also have to watch their diet and eat healthy foods. Student should avoid smoking, alcohol, and illegal drugs. Students should get enough sleep. These are all normal parts of a healthy lifestyle.
I was discussing this with my second son, Charles (age 25). My second and third sons are in really good shape. When I mentioned "getting in shape," Charles replied that we do not only practice Karate. We also lift weights.
That is true. I probably lift weights 3 or 4 times a week. My sons lift more than that, and they also do other physical activities. They also watch what they eat.
My point is that there is more to getting into shape than just practicing Karate (unless you train in a dojo that also does quite a lot of conditioning on a regular basis).
But whatever approach you take to get into shape, the important thing is that you get into shape. That is part of Karate training. However you want to approach it, Karate training requires that you try to get into shape. It is not just a matter of learning new kata and getting promoted from time to time. If you are not getting into shape, you should concentrate on that for a while. There will be time for new kata later. If you get into shape, you will be able to execute the techniques better. You will be able to train harder and longer, and you should be able to defend yourself, if need be, more effectively.
Getting into good shape is even more important as you grow older. I am a grandfather. I cannot compete physically with 20 and 30 year old men in their prime. In order to move more effectively than them, I have to optimize my body mechanics, avoid all wasted energy, and also be in the best shape possible. I have to learn to do more with less. If I am in the best shape possible, at least I will have more to work with.
And I am only 53. My Sensei in Okinawa is 72. He is in excellent shape.
Don't get me wrong -- being able to do 100 pushups in a row does not mean that you will be skilled at self defense. But if you are skilled at self defense, being in good shape will give you a definite advantage.
And I would think that you would be healthier too.

Add to basket (GBP) Add to basket (USD) Add to basket (EUR)
This book deals with intercultural pragmatics and how both nonnative teachers (NNTs) and native teachers (NTs) may enhance their classroom instruction regarding target language (TL) pragmatics. It focuses primarily on the experiences of instructors as they teach their learners about the pragmatics of the TL, both in second and foreign language learning settings. It makes clear that there are aspects of teaching pragmatics where it may help to be an NT and other areas where it may help to be an NNT and proposes creative ideas that both sets of teachers may draw on to compensate for gaps in their knowledge. Further themes in the book include ideas for motivating students who want to learn about pragmatics, the role of technology in teaching and learning pragmatics, the role of learning strategies, the assessment of pragmatics and ways to research pragmatics. The book will be of interest to teachers, teacher educators and students interested in researching and improving the teaching of pragmatics.
This book is a timely addition to the field, helping us move from the native-nonnative distinction to native-nonnative collaboration when teaching pragmatics in a language classroom. A variety of personal experiences and episodes used to illustrate theories, research, and practice make the content of pragmatics fully accessible to teachers and students. This book is the ideal companion for practitioners and researchers who wish to gain a thorough understanding of issues related to pragmatics learning in a global context.- Naoko Taguchi, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
This book is a significant and timely contribution to the area of teaching pragmatics. Being aware that it is difficult to define what native and nonnative speaker means, Cohen's book takes a close look at teaching and learning pragmatics, providing material in a number of different languages and cultures. It will be read with interest by any teacher educator and researcher.- Eva Alcón Soler, Universitat Jaume I, Spain
This innovative book takes a fresh perspective on learning, teaching and assessing pragmatics. It manages to be both scholarly and highly practical, and its coverage of pragmatics instruction by non-native speaker teachers makes a unique and much needed contribution to the field.- Carsten Roever, University of Melbourne, Australia
Andrew D. Cohen is Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota, USA. He has published extensively in the areas of pragmatics, language assessment, and language learner strategies, and frequently presents his research at international conferences. He was the recipient of the 2006 Distinguished Scholarship and Service Award from the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL). He is also a hyperpolyglot, currently learning his 13th language, Mandarin.

At quittin' time, the radar looked something like this:
Operation: Squall Line was in full effect. I put the raincover on my lone pannier and hit the road, hoping -- no, knowing -- I could beat it. I darted up Renner, slogged the rolling hills of 113th street, and started northeast on Santa Fe Trail Drive with a strong sidewind and storms approaching from the west. Immediately ahead of me, a cyclist I hadn't seen before. Just pulling out of Southlake business park a few blocks to the north, I saw Jim's retina-searing jacket.
It didn't take me long to blow past both of them. Not that I was being a dick about it. I greeted them both upon passing. I don't usually ride hard, but this was personal. This was a race. Me against the dark, growling beast. Keep in mind that my skinny tires, tall gears, and drop bars gave me an advantage. In reality, I wasn't going that fast. This is me we're talking about.
About 2 minutes after I took this, the downpour started.

I wasn't quite so lucky out here in Lawrence. I, too, booked it the whole way home, but the rain started to come down pretty heavy while I was waiting at the light at 27th and Iowa. Which is the last light before I get home...
Did I mention I forgot my rain cover? Luckily I had a shopping bag that I had put over my laptop sleeve. I was soaked and my laptop sleeve was a little damp on the bottom where some water collected in pannier. But the laptop itself was dry.
Looks like more of the same on Friday?

Well done! That was a beautiful storm. I was able to watch it blow through O.P. As I stared out the window I wondered how many cyclists were caught up in it.

Tull child suffers from rare kidney condition; Fundraiser set to assist family with medical costs
An evening out is a pleasant experience for most people, but area residents have an opportunity to enjoy such an event while supporting a worthy cause.
The event is called "Dining for Dex" and is a benefit for Dexter McDade, the not-quite-one-month-old child of Jerred and Alexis McDade of Tull. The baby currently is hospitalized at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
Friends of the family have planned a benefit pasta dinner to assist the family with the overwhelming costs of Dexter's medical bills.
Dexter was born June 19 with a rare kidney condition that eventually will necessitate a kidney transplant. He is a patient in the pediatric intensive care unit at Children's, where he is undergoing dialysis treatment.
The fundraiser for Dexter and his family is scheduled Saturday, July 21, at the Tull Community Center. Serving is from 4 to 7 p.m.
The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12.
"We are holding this pasta benefit dinner for his family to help with the overwhelming cost of his medical bills," an organizer said.
These reportedly are "minimum prices and all other donations are greatly appreciated."
"His family and friend thank you in advance, from the bottom of their hearts," the organizer said.
The event also will include a silent auction and the sale of "Team Dex" bracelets.
Those who are unable to attend but who who would like to donate to the effort are asked to stop by the Alcoa Federal Credit Union in Benton or Bryant and explain that they are making a donation for Dexter McDade.
Donations also may be mailed to 8623 Sycamore St., Tull, AR 72015.
Jerred McDade spoke about his son's condition by phone from Children's Hospital.
"We're doing good so far," McDade said. "We're taking it a day at a time."
He said Dexter will continue to be a patient at Children's "for at least three or four more weeks. That's my understanding."
"When we go home, we will be trained to do peritoneal dialysis," he said. "He is receiving hemodialysis now.
McDade explained that Dexter received a Tenckhoff catheter on Wednesday. "They'll start it manually next Monday at the earliest and Wednesday at the latest. Then once we go home, we'll be trained to do it. We're not sure yet whether it will be done manually or with a machine."
McDade said Dexter receives his daily hemodialysis treatments (which take three hours) while listening to the "Crazy Praize" album on his iPhone.
He explained that "Crazy Praize" is the music that his daughters are performing in summer youth choir at Saline Missionary Baptist in Tull.
"Once we start the peritoneal dialysis, it will be 10-12 hour treatments using the Tenckhoff catheter that is in his belly," he said.
Speaking about the eventual new kidney, McDade said Dexter "has to be old enough to receive an adult kidney, which is around 2 years old."
He noted that his son "looks much better than when we came to the hospital."
The condition was not diagnosed immediately after his birth, he noted.
"Everything came back normal at first. We went for a one-week checkup and everything looked good. Then the following Friday his eyes were puffy — he looked like he had been in a boxing match. They wanted to check his urine, so they sent us home with a bag to collect urine."
Tests determined the urine contained protein, blood and glucose, he said. "Then on Monday, July 2, they called that night from the hospital and said to bring him to Children's.
"Since then, we've been taking it one day at a time. We've been overwhelmed by love and prayers and support from the community and everywhere.
"I got a phone call the other day from a lady I didn't know, but she asked how he was doing. She had heard about his condition somewhere. She told me that she just wanted us to know that she was thinking about him and praying for him and said she would like to be tested to see if she would be a match as a kidney donor for him.
"I told her we weren't to that point yet," McDade said. "That's a couple of years down the road, but it's so great that someone that doesn't even know us would volunteer to give him a kidney."
McDade said the woman's offer is representative of the support the family has received. "It's been overwhelming. It just goes to show you there are good people out there."
In the meantime, the family is "praying for a miracle," McDade said.
"They haven't given us the exact diagnosis," he said. "We're waiting on lab results and that may be a couple of weeks. They believe it's a rare condition. They said they have seen maybe three cases in the last five years where they have had to do dialysis on a baby his age."
He said all of the "doctors and nurses here are great and our primary care doctor is great as well."
McDade noted that the family has "a long road ahead of us, but with the love and support of our amazing family, fantastic friends and church family, and the grace of God, we will get through this and be stronger for it."
"We also want to thank each and every person that has sent kind words and prayers our way. The support of our community, doctors and everyone around us has been overwhelming and we'll never be able to express how thankful we are to have these people in our lives."
McDade added this message to "all parents out there":
"Hug your kids tight and kiss them every day. And thank God every day for putting that blessing in your life. Don't take your children for granted; every second with them is an eternity."
Jarred McDade works for an engineering firm in Little Rock and is a volunteer firefighter and first responder in Tull. Alexis McDade has been a self-employed day-care operator since 2008. Her husband said she plans to "step away from that for a while in order to focus on Dex's health and our girls."
The McDades are active at Saline Missionary Baptist and have been involved with the Sparks girls softball team in Benton for the past four year.
Dexter's family also includes two sisters, Gracie and Jadyn; and his grandparents, Rita and Troy McDade of Tull; Alex Sponer of Lake City; and Ernie and Tina Coppock of Tull.

Safety is not always first in our thoughts when we are trying to accomplish a task, but it is an important part of everything that we do. The childhood phrase, "it's all fun and games, 'til someone gets hurt," is just as true in adulthood as it was while playing rough with friends. An adult's mishap usually costs more money, takes longer to heal, and affects more people, than the young child's does.
The most commonly found form of safety is found during sports. For the players, that is the first thing they do. Before learning, or practicing their sports, they must put on their protective safety gear. From football shoulder pads, to lacrosse helmets, to soccer shin guards, safety plays a big role during a sports game.
Safety during travel, is something everyone must adhere to. Whether it is by plane, train, or automobile, taking the steps necessary to keep all the passengers, including the operator of the vehicle, safe is simple. Use restraints, follow traffic laws, and follow on board rules. If everyone does these things, the likelihood of a fatal injury from an accident decreases.
A form of safety that's not always noticeable, but always important, is physical safety. Keeping the body safe during the day to day activities can have a tremendous effect on its overall well-being. Things such as lifting with the legs, sitting correctly while typing, nutritious eating, and correct posture are some of the more well known concepts that can help anyone stay safe physically.
We're glad to give readers a forum to express their points of view on issues important to this community. That forum is the "Letters to the Editor." Letters to the editor may be submitted directly to The Times-Independent through this link and will be published in the print edition of the newspaper. All letters must be the original work of the letter writer – form letters will not be accepted. All letters must include the actual first and last name of the letter writer, the writer's address, city and state and telephone number. Anonymous letters will not be accepted.
Letters may not exceed 400 words in length, must be regarding issues of general interest to the community, and may not include personal attacks, offensive language, ethnic or racial slurs, or attacks on personal or religious beliefs. Letters should focus on a single issue. Letters that proselytize or focus on theological debates will not be published. During political campaigns, The Times-Independent will not publish letters supporting or opposing any local candidate. Thank you letters are generally not accepted for publication unless the letter has a public purpose. Thank you letters dealing with private matters that compliment or complain about a business or individual will not be published. Nor will letters listing the names of individuals and/or businesses that supported a cause or event. Thank you letters about good Samaritan acts will be considered at the discretion of the newspaper.

Our Community Page Cyborgology recently posted about guest tweeters. That's right, guest tweeters. As explained here, Mary Chayko invited Cyborgoloy's Nathan Jurgenson to spend an hour live-tweeting with her class.
The class would be gathered physically in the classroom and he would join in from his own remote location. Afterward, the students and I would review and reflect on the experience fairly thoroughly—our engagement with Nathan and his ideas, our engagement with one another, what we learned, what we didn't, and why. My goal was to wring as much as possible, intellectually and socially, from the exercise.
Based on course content and Jurgenson's expertise, students were asked to think of one question that they wanted to ask Jurgenson. As Chayko explains thoroughly (be sure to read it!), this takes a bit of planning. Explaining just some of the preparations, she notes,
I always survey each of my classes at the start to determine the level of interest and willingness of the students to use social media for class-related activities. I offer students an opportunity to opt out of social media use, to use pseudonyms online, and I require those that wish to use it to abide by a strict set of social media use policies which we discuss at great length (and which I am happy to share). I also teach all my students, ad infinitum, ad nauseum I'm sure, to use social media responsibly and professionally.
Her planning, and the willingness of her students, resulted in a great conversation and learning experience.

DailyDirt: Expensive Things To Buy...
from the urls-we-dig-up deptThe new nouveau riche might not be that interested in Maseratis and yachts. New millionaires (or billionaires) are buying stuff like electric sports cars and trips into space. Here are a few more super-expensive items to add to your shopping list, if you have the means.
- If you've ever wanted your own aircraft carrier, the Royal Navy's HMS Ark Royal will be auctioned off later this year. Aircraft and accessories not included. [url]
- For about $5 million, drug smugglers constructed a very sophisticated stealth submarine with a cargo bay capable of carrying 9 tons of illegal goods. This custom sub has no steel in its hull and has electric motors that make it nearly silent and hard to track at sea. It might also be able to make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. [url]

How To Change A Bike Tube
It's one of the worst noises a cyclist can hear. The unmistakable "pffffffft…" that means air is leaking from one of your tubes. The bad news is that if your racing or trying to get somewhere quickly, you're going to lose some time. The good news is that replacing a tube is an easy fix for even the non-mechanically inclined rider.
Here's a step-by-step guide to installing a new tube. The only tools you'll need are a pair of tire levers and a pump.
- If it's not already 100-percent flat, completely deflate your punctured tube to make it easier to remove. It will have either a Presta valve or a Schrader valve (like what's on your car). For a Presta valve, unscrew the end and then push it in to deflate. For a Schrader valve, depress the center pin.
- Once fully deflated, wiggle the tire back and forth until you feel it break free from the hook of the rim. Next use a tire lever to remove one side of the tire. Start on the opposite side of the valve stem, placing the hook of the tire lever between the rim and the bead of the tire. Now, as the name suggests, lever the bead off the hook of the rim.
- Depending on how tight the fit is between tire and rim, you may be able to just push the lever away from you all the way around the rim, pulling the tire off. If the tire is on too tight, most levers have a hook that can be attached to a spoke to keep it in place. Then take your second tire lever, and repeat the steps above until the first bead is completely off. With one bead off you can pull out the punctured tube.
- Next try to figure out what caused the puncture. A common mistake is to put a new tube in without first examining the tire. If you do have a thorn or piece of glass in your tire and it's still there, you'll get another puncture when you inflate the new tube. It's also a good idea to put some air in the old tube and see where air is leaking from. It's usually either a single puncture hole or a pinch flat, which looks like two small bite marks. If it is a puncture, it's very important to check the tire and make sure the sharp object is not still lodged in it.
- Take your new tube and slightly inflate it. This makes it easier to install because it has a little shape. Next insert the tube valve stem into the valve hole and then push the tube into the rim cavity.
- Now put the bead back in, making sure that you don't get the tire in between the bead and the rim, which can cause a pinch flat when you re-inflate it. Start at the valve stem, and push the tire back under the rim hook. When you get to the final 2-3 inches it can get a harder to push the tire in. To mediate this, push the tire into the middle of the rim. This will give you a little more room to get the tire to go on. If you still can't get it one by hand, use your lever to push the tire the rest of the way on.
- Now re-inflate your tire. Start slowly, adding 30-40 psi for road or 15-20 for mountain bike tires, then stop and make sure the bead of the tire is securely seated onto the rim. Give the wheel a spin and check for any dips or deviations. If you see something irregular, the tire is not seated properly and you need to deflate the tube and give it another wiggle, trying to get the tire to evenly seat on the rim.
- Once everything looks good, inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended psi, which you'll find on the sidewall of the tire.
If you have any questions about changing tube, call the Performance Bicycle Spin Doctor product support line at 1-800-553-TECH. Happy riding.

Public transport operators are facing increasing cost constraints at a time when legacy fare management systems are in need of upgrading. Furthermore, rider expectations are increasing at a rapid pace, as riders expect their public transport experience to mirror what the private sector is delivering. Riders want seamless intermodal travel with real-time information updates, instant account access, multi-channel customer service and the ability to choose how they pay their fare – be it with a phone, bank card or other means. With the prevalence of social media, if agencies fail to deliver the consequences are significant and felt instantly.
Public transportation agencies need a fare management system that can help reduce their total cost of ownership while enabling the flexibility to easily upgrade over time and take advantage of the latest technological advancements to give their customers more reasons to ride.

Health club chains, circuit training facilities and Sprint's corporate fitness center surround the Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Greater Kansas City campus. Cary Minkoff, the executive director of the Overland Park, KS-based JCC, expects to face even more competition next year.
"For a long time, JCCs and Ys were the only game in town for services for children and adults," he says. "Now everyone is doing that in the fitness industry. We can no longer treat fitness as an amenity to someone's membership. It's now a core business."
To compete in what may soon become a saturated market, Minkoff says his JCC is reevaluating its programming, equipment and services to better serve its clientele. The JCC is also trying to set itself apart from the competition by forming partnerships with hospitals and other health care providers. The JCC collaborated with St. Luke's South Hospital to launch a new community-wide health initiative called the Imagine Your Potential program.
"The health care industry is in such a flux that the best way for people to manage their health more cost effectively is by staying healthy," he says. "If we can create an arena for them to do that, it will be huge. There are things as a nonprofit we can do that will impact the community on a different level. We're looking to be ground breakers in the fields of health management and human performance."
The JCC built the fitness center and campus 18 years ago in Overland Park, KS. By renovating the facility and purchasing new equipment over the next 12 to 24 months, the JCC plans to pull in new members and eventually become a model JCC for the nation.
"We're going all around the country, and we're going to take the best from the best," says Dan McDonough, director of the center for human performance for the JCC of Kansas City.
The YMCA of Greater Cincinnati is also trying to deal with increased competition. Several hospital-based fitness clubs, health club chains and small personal training studios operate within a five-mile radius of the Y. The community wellness center, which is located on a nursing home campus, dropped its age requirement and is no longer strictly operating as a 40-and-up facility. With a college across the street, the Y wanted to market its services to the students, says Donnie Kalb, center director.
"The students can work out in a freeweight-type setting or come over here and get lots of personal attention," he says. "The Baby Boomers also don't want to work out with people their age. Working out with younger people makes them feel younger than they actually are."
The Y spreads the word about its facility through newspaper and radio advertising as well as direct mail; however, word of mouth is most effective, Kalb says. Minkoff agrees.
"Our best sales force is our members," he says.
Nonprofit fitness facilities may be facing increased competition from for-profit health clubs, but McDonough says nonprofits have an edge on the competition.
"As a JCC, our mission is not to increase members or revenues," he says. "We can focus on improving the health of the community and our members."

Complete Story
Action Needed on HB284 - Schedule II
PAs - Do You Want Schedule II? Then OAPA Needs Your Help!
We need you to make three phone calls or send three emails IMMEDIATELY.
Substitute HB284 – the PA bill that includes Schedule II prescriptive authority was passed by the Senate Health Committee on December 5. The bill now needs to go to the Senate floor and then back to the House floor for concurrence. We need your help encouraging Senate and House leadership to put the bill on both floors next week.
Call or Email #1 – Senate President Niehaus. Ask him to please put HB284 on the Senate agenda for Tuesday, December 11. Contact Senate President Tom Niehaus at 614/466-8082 or email@example.com.
Call or Email #2 – House Speaker Batchelder. Ask him to please concur HB284 and put it on the House agenda for concurrence on Wednesday, December 12. Contact Speaker of the House William Batchelder at 614/466-8140 or email@example.com.
Please convey to both President Niehaus and Speaker Batchelder the importance of HB 284 to your profession. Keep your comments brief but explain that the bills need to be placed on the floor for votes so PAs can continue to do good work while improving patient access to quality care. You can explain that OAPA has been working on the bill for three years and that HB 284 has no opposition. Give one specific example how the bill will improve your practice. If neither of them are unavailable, please convey the same information to his Aide to pass on. Please provide OAPA with any feedback you receive after making contact.
Call or Email #3 – Your State Senator
It is very important that you contact your State Senator before next week's floor vote and encourage them to support Substitute HB284. If your legislator is unavailable, please convey the same information to his or her Aide to pass on. Please provide OAPA with any feedback you receive after making contact.
What to Say:
You are a PA living in his or her district and would like to encourage him or her to support Substitute HB284. The bill will:
Allow PAs to provide care and treatment during times of natural disaster under the supervision of another physician.
Improve the process for amending the PA formulary in response to the Medical Board's desire to update the formulary in a more timely fashion.
Give PAs Schedule II prescriptive authority.
Exempt out of state PAs from the prescriptive provisional period when they already have prescriptive authority from another jurisdiction.
Allow PAs to bill Medicaid directly at a rate less than their supervising physician.
Allow US Military veterans to obtain a license and prescriptive authority in Ohio without holding a Masters Degree as long as they have practiced as a PA-C for three years in the military or veteran's administration.
Tell him or her that Substitute HB284 will increase the ability of your supervising physician to fully utilize you to serve patients in a timely and responsive manner.
Ask him or her if he would like more information on the profession and if he or she does, talk about what you do.
In closing, encourage him or her to support Substitute HB284.
Again, pick one or two items that are most applicable to you and keep your comments brief but impactful. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this important call or email.

#1 Antrel Rolle compares booing players to booing soldiers coming home from Iraq, later12-03-2010, 12:56 PMAntrel Rolle compares booing players to booing soldiers coming home from Iraq, later apologizes
By Kristie Ackert

Giants safety Antrel Rolle speaks to the media Thursday afternoon and continues to rip Big Blue fans for booing the team Sunday.
Antrel Rolle admits that he is a "bigmouth" and is unapologetic about it. Thursday, however, the Giants' safety put his foot in that mouth and had to issue a scripted apology shortly after he compared his teammates to American troops returning from Iraq.
In an attempt to defend ripping Giants fans Tuesday for booing the team, Rolle said: "They want to make it that guys paid this much money for a ticket. Yeah, I understand that, I understand completely. We risk ourselves out there on the field each and every day also. When soldiers come home from Iraq you don't boo them. I look at it the same way. I take my job seriously."
Later, in a statement released by the team, Rolle said: "I used a very poor, inappropriate example earlier today to demonstrate how seriously I take my job. Obviously there is no comparison between the men and women of our military putting their life on the line defending our country and what I do.

There is no way Rolle wrote that apology. His ass deserves to be in the sling for this egregious comment.
Reminds me when Kellen Winslow Jr. called himself a soldier and compared football to war.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I82BPA5QAaQGun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown
The problem is Empty People, Not Loaded Guns - Linda Schrock Taylor
I don't have a problem with what Winslow said because metaphorically speaking, he's right. Football is a war. You know, ground acquisition and all. So what he said isn't so bad. But Rolle is an idiot. What pains me about it is that before this season, Rolle played for the Arizona Cardinals. The team who lost a player in the war on terror. Perhaps you heard of him:
Rolle just pissed on his grave. I hope he gets booed off the field his next game.Progressivism is a bottomless pit of absurdity.

dipshit. Completely different for booing a sports figure that people are going to see for entertainment and booing a solider that is protecting our country and putting their lives on the line.

"A superb overview of what happens once we start seeing man as an overachieving worm."
—Marvin Olasky, World
At the dawn of the twentieth century, scientists and politicians giddily predicted that science—especially Darwinian biology—would supply solutions to all the intractable problems of American society, from crime to poverty to sexual maladjustment.
But the results have been disastrous, as Discovery Institute senior fellow John G. West demonstrates in this captivating book. Based on extensive archival research, Darwin Day in America shows how the ideology of scientism has corrupted—and dehumanized—American politics and culture.
West tells the disturbing story of scientific expertise run amok, exposing how an ideological interpretation of Darwinian biology and reductionist science has been used to degrade American culture and fuel a relentless march from democracy to technocracy.
And in a brand-new chapter for the paperback edition, West reveals how we are now witnessing the rise of "totalitarian science," whose defenders are f ghting to remake
every sphere of human life, from public policy and education to ethics and religion.

|ISI Books
|What They're Saying...
"West does an excellent job showing how Darwinian science has cheapened human life and limited man's horizons. . . . This book demands a sequel." —Chronicles
"The definitive scholarly critique of the social implications of treating human beings as uppity animals. Darwin Day in America is an indispensable guidebook for the coming debate over whether a civilization based on amoral Darwinian materialism is fit to survive—a must read for all who fail to recognize what is at stake in teaching the materialist superstition." —George Gilder, author of Wealth and Poverty
"West superbly makes the case that Darwin had plenty of bad ideas, and we are seeing plenty of ugly consequences today as a result. This very important book deserves to be widely read and discussed." —Culture Watch
"West makes a solid case for how all such ugly social and cultural radicalism finds solid ideological grounding in the ideas of Darwin. For too long there have been apologists for Darwin who have sought to argue that a large gulf looms between the biological ideas of Darwin and Social Darwinism. West very capably demonstrates that there is in fact very little distance between the two." —News Weekly
"Darwin Day in America is a thoroughly documented book (almost 100 pages of endnotes) written in an easy, fluent style. It is much to be recommended." —New Oxford Review
"John West has done a characteristically excellent job in analyzing social Darwinism and the insidious ideology which has infected almost every area of American public policy. This is provocative and important reading." —Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship
"A superb overview of what happens once we start seeing man as an overachieving worm. John West shows how a Darwin Day worldview affects everything from sex and philanthropy to crime and euthanasia." —Marvin Olasky, World magazine
"A deep and comprehensive study of scientific materialism's morally corrupting effects on American public policy." —Larry Arnhart, author of Darwinian Conservatism
"If you think that the debate over materialism is irrelevant to your own life, you need to read John West's important and fascinating book. West provides shocking detail showing how scientific materialism and Darwinism have influenced many realms of American society and culture, including criminal justice, economics, business, education, and medicine." —Richard Weikart, author of From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany
"A well-documented account of the frightening influence of philosophical materialism on the application of science to American society." —Robert C. Koons, University of Texas at Austin

At its meeting in Town Hall on Monday, the Grand Island Town Board urged its residents to support a local organization celebrating a milestone this year.
The board issued a proclamation to Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty, commonly called CROP, which raises money for international hunger relief, as well as local food pantries. Grand Island residents can help stop hunger in their community and around the world by joining the 25th annual CROP Walk on Grand Island at 1 p.m. in Beaver Island State Park on Sunday, Oct. 14, at the picnic shelter adjacent to the marina.
The event has also been endorsed by the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce and the Grand Island Ministerium. The honorary chairperson is Robert W. Christmann, Grand Island superintendent of schools.
Twenty-five percent of donated funds remain on Grand Island where it is administered by the Neighbors Foundation and Trinity United Methodist Church. The remainder is used by Church World Service and other designated international agencies to reduce hunger and poverty throughout the world. According to CROP Walk Coordinator the Rev. Paul E. Robinson, even relatively affluent communities such as Grand Island have many people in need, and recent census data indicates that one out of every 25 Grand Islanders lives in poverty.
Additional information, including pledge envelopes, can be found at Key Bank, Creative Leather Concepts/Grand Island Ship Center-Fed X, deSignet, the Chamber of Commerce Office, Serene Gardens, Niagara Frontier Publications, Trinity United Methodist Church, St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church and Island Presbyterian Church.
In making the proclamation, the Town Board "hereby encourages all residents to support CROP ... by walking or supporting someone else who will be walking."
The board thanked the Grand Island Ministerium "for sponsoring this worthwhile event."
Pictured, from left, the Rev. Earle King of St. Martin's, Councilman Gary Roesch, Robinson, Town Supervisor Mary Cooke, and Tom DeLoughry and Fred Claus of Grand Island CROP Walk Committee were present at the proclamation presentation.

Although I list "price" as a con, it's not really. I was a long time Shimano HG chain user only because the rest of my drivetrain was Shimano. But soemtime around 1999-2000, I started to snap chains - and they would snap even just pedaling on the flats. For a while I just dismissed it as normal wear-and-tear until I snapped three new HG's in a week!!! My LBS replaced the first one free of charge, gave me a discount on the second one and on the third one I didn't even bother going back to my LBS as I felt they wen't above and beyond. I contacted Shimano (thats another saga which I won't get into...) and they basically blamed me and my bike and that they were not going to do anything about it. I guess I was expecting to have a little more sympathy and say something to the effect that they would report this to their R&D team or whomever. Even if they never did report it I probably would have gone on and continued to use the HG for several more years. In any event, I went back to my LBS with the intention to purchase another HG chain when they recommended that I give the SRAM PC series a try (this was before the 991) and they said that if I snapped it within a month they would replace or refund me my money. Cost was about the same (maybe a few bucks cheaper) so why not. The first thing I really liked was the power-link. We had these back when I rode BMX and was happy to see it in the MTB world! That first SRAM chain was awesome! It functioned for nearly 2 years before it finally stretched to where I needed to replace it. That's when the PC 991 came out and I've been rocking it ever since. I keep a few power links in my pack for those rare occasions when the chain does snap but in reality I tend to use the spare links to get other downed riders on the trail back up and running again. All of my bikes have the 991 (XC, DH/FR and DS/DJ) as do all of my riding buddies (they all switched over once they noticed that I wasn't snapping chains as often as they were).

Common Gym Myths Debunked
Most of us already have a preconceived idea about certain exercise routines and what happens at the gym. As a whole, we probably associate weight training with body builders, who are most likely men, and we tend to associate treadmills and other cardio fitness routines with women. We might think that all gyms are the same or that they only like to cater to certain types of people, like only men or skinny petite women. Do these fitness routines and gyms deserve to be classified in such ways? Here we take the chance to look at a few of the more common gym myths and debunk them.
As a female, if I lift weights I will end up being a huge body builder. This is not true. Weight lifting is not just for men and should be a part of everyone's fitness routine, regardless of their gender. It can help you burn fat, tone your body and boost your metabolism. Weight training is an essential component of your fitness routine, especially if you are looking to burn fat.
Every gym is the same, so I should just join the cheapest one. This is so false. Every gym is different. You want to find one that feels right for you and has those little extras that make it worth the time you spend there. Many gyms offer different hours and of course, the staff is always different, which gives each gym its own personality. There are also many different amenities a gym can have, such as heart rate monitors, personal trainers, top notch equipment and even pools. It is up to you to do your research and find the gym that best suits you.
My weight is not coming off, this exercise thing must not be working. So many of us focus on the scale and forget about all the other benefits of working out. This one set frame of mind can make most of us give up on our fitness routine and miss out on all the many other health benefits of our fitness routines, such as lower blood sugar, building endurance and stamina and losing inches from our waist lines, which can result in a lower dress size. Remember just because the scale is not moving does not mean you are not doing your body good by working out.
As long as I workout, I can eat whatever I want. Just because you are working out consistently, you do not get a free pass to eat whatever you want. A nutritious diet should always be a part of everyone's fitness routine. If you want to reshape your body and lose those excess pounds, you will have to start trying out some healthier options. However, it can do a world of good to allow yourself a few cheats without being too hard on yourself.
It can be a difficult journey trying to lose weight and feel great. Just remember to never give up, even when things seem to be piling up against you. You should try to overcome your preconceived notions about fitness and how it may affect you and allow your newly found knowledge help you get fit and healthy.

After conceding the opening goal in four of their first five games, the Revs know that they need improved first-half performances
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – There's much truth to the saying, "It's not how you start, but how you finish." However, those who recite the phrase often forget one critical fact: how you start often dictates how you finish.
The New England Revolution (2-3-0, 6 pts.) can certainly attest to that five games into the 2010 Major League Soccer season, as the club has consistently struggled to gain a foothold in the opening stages and as a result finds itself lodged in a tie with Toronto FC for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
It was a similar story this past weekend against the Colorado Rapids, as the Western Conference club began the match the more lively side and maintained the majority of the possession in the first 15 minutes. As is often the case, Colorado's early control in the match led to the game's opening goal, as Mehdi Ballouchy gave the Rapids a 14th-minute lead.
Although the Revs responded just four minutes later when Marko Perovic leveled the score at 1-1, the damage of the early goal still proved decisive. Rapids captain Pablo Mastroeni notched the game-winner in the 73rd minute, sending the Revolution to its second straight loss.
"Up until we equalized, they definitely controlled the game," admitted head coach Steve Nicol. "There's no question about that."
Four times in their first five games of the season, the Revs have conceded the opening goal. Only once have they been able to come from behind and earn a result, that being in the 4-1 win over TFC on April 10 when Zack Schilawski's second-half hat trick helped the Revolution overcome Dwayne De Rosario's 28th-minute strike.
Unsurprisingly, losing matches when allowing the opening goal is not an issue limited to the Revolution. In fact, New England is one of only three teams in the league to have come from behind to earn a win after allowing the first goal this season, while only five times has a team even managed a draw after conceding first. All told, the team which has scored first has won 27 of 35 games.
For that reason, it's not playing from behind, but getting off to better starts which the Revs need to improve upon.
"I think we've identified [slow starts] as a problem, for sure," said Schilawski after the loss to the Rapids. "We've been starting the second half pretty well, but the first half – for whatever reason – we're getting off to a little bit of a slow start."
While the Revolution leads the league with six goals after the halftime break, the club did not score a first-half goal until Perovic struck in the 18th minute of last weekend's loss to the Rapids. Not only that, but the Revs have twice conceded a goal in the game's opening 15 minutes.
"Maybe in the next few games here, [we need to] keep that in mind as we're warming up," said Schilawski. "That's kind of been plaguing us a little bit and as long as we have that in mind, hopefully we'll be able to improve upon it."
The task won't get any easier this Saturday night against FC Dallas, a club which has established itself as a strong first-half team despite its winless (0-1-3) record. Four of the Hoops' six goals this season have been scored in the first half, including three in the first 30 minutes. On the flip side, just two of FCD's seven goals against have been conceded in the first half, including zero in the opening 30 minutes.
While the statistics suggest Dallas will be a tough nut to crack in the early-going on Saturday night – particularly on the road, as the Hoops took a 1-0 halftime lead into their only previous road game this season – the Revs know that getting off to a better start will be critical if they hope to reverse their fortune.

Having healthy self-esteem will not make you selfish or demanding. It will not make you narcissistic, taking advantage of others for your own gain. Selfish behavior and attention seeking are in fact outward manifestations of inner insecurity and low self-esteem. It will help you experience life more authentically and use your natural intuition as a guide to healthier living. Good self-esteem involves developing a whole new perspective about yourself from one of feeling flawed, anxious, and undeserving to one of feeling okay with your human imperfections, feeling more peaceful and worthy of respect and affection.
(From Loving Ourselves: The Gay and Lesbian Guide to Self-Esteem, by Kimeron N. Hardin, Ph.D., p. 282.)

watch For almost fifteen years I have been greatly influenced and equipped by WholeHearted Ministry through books and conferences. After becoming a mother I realized I was ill prepared to be a mom. Seven years into the journey I came across Clay and Sally Clarkson speaking at a conference in CA. Their message was appealing and life changing as it continually brought me back to God's word. Their grace-based teachings were exactly what my soul desperately needed to hear.
http://cinziamazzamakeup.com/?x=acquistare-viagra-generico-200-mg-pagamento-online-a-Napoli I have attended the Mom Heart conferences for many years and each year I leave inspired and encouraged in my role as a mother. This is a ministry I believe in as I have seen many lives positively impacted especially mine. If you know a mother who is discouraged, desperate, or needs hope consider giving them a gift that will be life changing. Maybe you are needing direction and encouragement, join us at one of the four conference locations.

Material is available in the Library for research projects from beginning to advanced researcher. If researching maritime history, check the page listing books in the collection.
On this page discover ways to gain a basic history of sail and steam: resources include ships registers, periodicals and essays covering over 2 millenia of maritime history. Steam, motor, diesel and other vessels, ships in the U.S. Navy and the Merchant Marines are available in book and periodical titles (magazines or journals) and offer technical illustrations and photographs or paintings that help characterize a period in history. If you don't see what you are looking for, please call the Library 310-548-7618 or see our online catalog at LibraryThing.com.
Works on sailing ships focus on the early means of propulsion for transporting goods, passengers, and navies. The ancient to modern history of sailing shows the evolution from navigation knowledge in the ancient world to the engineered relationship between vessel sail and vessel hull when industrialization began in Europe and the Americas.
Steam engines, from Robert Fulton's ferries about 1803, until the last steam engines which utilized diesel fuel around 1930, burned a variety of fuels that powered all sizes of ships: small vessels, ocean liners, and later, battleships. At first, vessels crossing the Atlantic Ocean carried enough coal for part of the journey under steam, but also relied on their sails
See History of Sail and History of Steam for more books in the Library's collections.

Parker, Smith honored for cooperation
Howard County Sheriff Stan Parker and newly retired Big Spring Police Department Chief Lonnie Smith got a hefty nod from local officials on both sides of the city and county lines Monday afternoon, as the two were honored with commemorative plaques at the Troy M. Hogue Law Enforcement Center.The plaques — the brainchild of former District 5 Big Spring City Councilman Craig Olson — were ordered to honor the unprecedented level of cooperation between the two law men which eventually led to the two departments not only being housed under the same roof, but also the sharing of resources and information.According to County Judge Mark Barr, he knew the creation of the law enforcement center would eventually happen, he just didn't believe it wouldn't happen as fast as it did."Stan and Chief, you've both done an excellent job. You came together when, to tell the truth, it was pretty much a mess beforehand," Barr said. "This is a great thing and it's going to continue to be a great thing for Big Spring and Howard County. We knew we were going to have to tackle this problem sooner or later and it came sooner than I expected. However, with the cooperation between the two of you it all came together. This is a great tribute to the two of you and will be a great deal of help to the community. I appreciate both of you and thank you for your service."Barr said the two departments working together is currently paying dividends, not just for local court and law enforcement officials, but for the citizens of Howard County and Big Spring."By the two departments — the Big Spring Police Department and the Howard County Sheriff's Office — working together, it's made my job as county judge a lot easier," Barr said. "It's also helped make the jobs of other county officials a lot easier and we now have two great facilities, the Troy M. Hogue Law Enforcement Center and the County Detention Center, that we can be proud of."

Lunsford to Help Drive Company Innovation and Growth in Enterprise Tag Management and Data Monetization
Lunsford to Help Drive Company Innovation and Growth in Enterprise Tag Management and Data Monetization
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 26, 2012) - Tealium, the leader in enterprise tag management, today announced that Jeff Lunsford will join the company in January as chief executive officer, adding a proven technology executive to lead the company's aggressive growth strategy worldwide. Lunsford, who currently serves on Tealium's board of directors, will arrive in time for Digital Velocity, the company's annual user conference scheduled for Jan. 23-25, 2013, in San Diego.
Lunsford most recently served as president, CEO and chairman of Limelight Networks, which he joined in 2006 and later took public as part of a $240M initial public offering (IPO). Prior to that, Lunsford was the CEO of WebSideStory, a SaaS-based web analytics pioneer that is now part of the Adobe Marketing Cloud via acquisitions by Omniture and Adobe Systems. Altogether, Lunsford has nearly two decades of experience as a successful technology and digital marketing executive.
Lunsford led WebSideStory's IPO in 2004. Tealium's leadership team is largely comprised of former WebSideStory executives who contributed to the company's success.
"Jeff is the perfect fit for Tealium and we are thrilled to be working with him again," said Ali Behnam, president and co-founder at Tealium. "We had a chance to work with him very closely at WebSideStory and we know what type of leader he is, and what type of results he can achieve. This is a great day for customers, employees and everyone affiliated with Tealium."
Lunsford will take over leadership of a company that has dominated the space for enterprise tag management, which enables organizations to more easily manage their online solutions and digital marketing data. Tealium has achieved a competitive win rate of 90 percent so far this year, and currently has 140+ enterprise customers on five different continents. This summer, Tealium announced that Battery Ventures, one of the most respected venture capital firms in the world, invested $10.5M in the company.
"Tag management is already recognized as a foundational layer of digital marketing, with great potential to transform how marketers manage and exchange digital data," Lunsford said. "I am impressed with everything Tealium has accomplished so far. It has innovative technology, great customers and partners, and high-quality investors. I am excited to work again with this talented group of former colleagues."
"Jeff is a highly sought-after CEO, and for him to choose Tealium speaks volumes about our technology and our customers," said Mike Anderson, co-founder and CTO at Tealium. "We look forward to working with him again and helping us grow and define this rapidly evolving market."
"Tealium's growth has far exceeded our expectations since we finalized our investment in May 2012," said Neeraj Agrawal, a general partner at Battery Ventures, who also sits on Tealium's board of directors. "The ability to recruit Jeff Lunsford, a proven, multi-time software CEO to the team is only further fueling our excitement."
Prior to WebSideStory, Lunsford was the CEO of TogetherSoft Corporation, a software development company that sold to Borland Software in 2002. From 1996-2002, he was the senior vice president of corporate development for S1 Corporation, a provider of customer interaction software for financial and payment services. A former naval aviator, Lunsford received a B.S. in Information and Computer Sciences from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

As the recession deepens (and all those BNI types who still testify that there isn't a recession, wake up and smell the coffee), businesses are starting to appear a mite desperate. This is when marketing gets a raw deal, especially if the CEOs don't really understand what marketing is all about.
Looking around and reading the signs, it is beginning to be obvious that companies are waking up that they need to market more online. But their lack of understanding shows that although they furiously update their websites with fancy new designs, they omit to think about the content or how they can communicate better with their customers, namely by interacting with them and getting their feedback through social networking.
If your company is still bogged down in the dark ages, the difference between marketing and sales will still be hazy, muddy and out of date. There is a new concept going about now that may not only confuse, but worry CEOs and Marketing Managers. There is this thing called customer relationship marketing (CRM), and the worst thing is that it happens over a long period of time!
But their balance sheets and cash flow statements are crying out, and the Accounts department report doom and gloom. What to do? The immediate response is to bombard the online marketing world with PPC projects, sales objectives and buy-now strategies. Money is pumped in to make a fast buck – and yes, it works! But only for the immediate future.
But they have forgotten about this CRM thing, which is apparently a real bind because it takes so long to happen. It's may be really boring, but it is proving to be necessary. Gradually it dawns on them that marketing is a long-term affair, and communicating with prospective clients to really get to know them, understand their needs and desires, work out how they can help them, so that the company becomes a benefit rather than another faceless corporate identity, will have long-term results that can be worked on for many years.
And another thing, it doesn't cost that much either. Certainly cheaper than a quick blast of PPC when they don't really know what they're doing. The ROI may be slower, but the graph is constantly rising, with no signs of those drastic peaks signifying boom and bust, or as Chantal puts it, feast and famine. CRM with its cousin data management will allow further marketing endeavours for future objectives.
And if you know more about what your customers are doing, thinking, saying or whatever, isn't it easier to adapt your marketing strategies around this? And when the penny drops about social networking, Marketing Managers will begin to realise that here is a place to find out this data with the minimum of fuss and expense, with marketing research tactics at their fingertips and somewhere where people can exercise their natural tendency to chat, communicate, strike up a conversation and create a relationship. With all this at very little cost (except the time taken to monitor it), perhaps this online marketing lark isn't so far fetched as it previously seemed.

2011 Aston Martin released the special-edition sportscar back in 2007 to commemorate the success of its Vantage N24 racer at the Nürburgring. It packed 400 horsepower, a series of suspension tweaks and some special cosmetic touches.
The 2011 N420's sportscar powertrain is the standard Vantage affair, coming with the standard 420 horsepower V-8 engine. Successor to the special edition V8 Vantage N400 of 2007, the 2011 Aston Martin sportscar V8 Vantage N420 is based upon the standard 4.7-litre, 420bhp, 180mph V8 Vantage and is available as a Coupe or Roadster, and with a six-speed manual or optional Sportshift automated manual transmission.
The 2011 Vantage N420 sportscar draws inspiration from the company's experiences at the Nürburgring 24-hour race. In the 2006 running of the annual Nürburgring endurance classic amongst a field of mostly motorsport homologated cars, Aston Martin entered a near-standard, road-registered V8 Vantage.
2011 Aston Martin sportscar used carbon fiber on various parts of the car to help drop the weight by 60 pounds, which while not a lot is still a step in the right direction. The suspension gets the Sports Package that upgrades the Vantage's springs, shocks and anti-roll bars to give the car better road holding.
The 2011 N420 also features special 10-spoke alloy wheels finished in gloss black, black mesh grille inserts, a sport exhaust system, the Sports Pack suspension (which is merely optional on the regular Vantage) and a range of racing-inspired paint combinations. The N420 sportscar will be available as a coupe or a roadster with the choice of a manual or paddle-shift transmission.
The 2011 N420 sportscar will make its U.S. debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August. Orders may be placed starting this month, with deliveries to begin in the fourth quarter of 2010. Pricing starts at $133,350 for the coupe and $146,350 for the Roadster, less than $10K more than their non-N420 counterparts.
