Changes in the French defence innovation system: New roles and capabilities for the Government Agency for Defence
AbstractDefence innovation systems are structured around two main groups of players that interact in the development of complex programmes: the state (the client and the government agency) and the systems integrators. Technological and institutional changes since the 1990s have affected the division of labour and knowledge in the industry. In this paper we show the origins of these changes based on information derived from 45 qualitative interviews conducted between 2000 and 2008, which demonstrate the new capabilities that have been created within the national innovation system (NIS). We explain how the role and the capabilities of the French Government Agency for Defence (Direction Générale de l'Armement - DGA) have developed from " project architect " to " project manager ". These new capabilities create new interactions in the French Defence innovation system and new roles for the DGA.

There is a manufacturing workforce challenge in America.
There are vacant jobs that can't be filled, and plenty of pundits have spent time talking about how the resurgence of manufacturing in America is in jeopardy. It's easy to talk about a problem without truly presenting solutions on how to keep a downfall from happening.
At ThomasNet, we wanted to do more than just talk about the problem. We wanted to grab hold of the problem and find solutions.
We first indicated the problem when we rolled out our annual Industry Market Barometer (IMB). When we surveyed over 1,600 manufacturers on their business prospects and the outlook of the industrial sector, we saw what problems they were experiencing. The results we got back were thought provoking.
Manufacturing is making a comeback in America, due in part to companies pushing forth Made in America quality. In the most recent IMB results, 8 out of 10 manufacturers expected to continue to grow.
But what we also found was that employers were having a hard time finding skilled, talented people to fill the positions in their companies. This gave us pause because the narrative around the country had been "there are no manufacturing jobs," yet here were employers saying otherwise. Well-paying, and high-tech, manufacturing jobs were all over the country and waiting to be filled.
In her column published on Industry Week, Eileen Markowitz, president of Thomas Industrial Network, the parent company of ThomasNet, said, "…Manufacturing jobs are going unfilled. Nearly half of our respondents want to bring in line workers, skilled trade workers, and engineers. But the people who are qualified for these jobs are either untrained, or uninterested."
If there are jobs available, then why are they so difficult to fill?
One reason presented by Markowitz was that many of them, including students, see manufacturing as "dead," lacking opportunities or challenges, and even as dirty or "undesirable" work. "They're blind to the reality that today's manufacturing jobs blend design with technology and robotics, and many pay extremely well," Markowitz noted.
People view manufacturing as non-opportunistic work that won't take them anywhere. That simply isn't the fact, and it got us thinking about how we could fix that perception. More importantly, how could we help manufacturers accomplish their goals of finding the right people to fill jobs?
It was these questions that conceived IMT Career Journal. We could create a resource for everyone who wants to be a productive, working member of society — including students at all levels, military veterans, and those who are seeking to return to work – to learn about the opportunities in manufacturing, learn how to get into manufacturing, and learn how to further their careers in manufacturing. And if we could create a resource where all companies in the industrial sector could contribute and educate, and interact with the community and get better-qualified employment candidates, we can help bridge the manufacturing workforce gap.
IMT Career Journal will cover labor topics and so much more that is specific to manufacturing and industry. Already, we have published articles ranging from STEM scholarships to highly useful resources for military veterans. We're highlighting what job seekers, who are still very optimistic, are looking for in a job.
Our focus won't be on just employees or employers, or just students or veterans. We're focused on industry as a whole and how industrial careers are rewarding both financially and spiritually. We're focused on engineers and skilled trades workers. We're focused on people who have been in manufacturing for decades as well as people who are just getting into it. Because at the end of the day, hard-working individuals of all types drive our economy forward — and we are here to support all of them.
Welcome to IMT Career Journal. We can promise you that with every visit to our site, you will have learned something new and gained a deeper understanding about the opportunities in manufacturing. To stay up to date on all we have planned, subscribe to our newsletter (at the top right of this page). And once again … Welcome!

The US has to stop pushing for all students to graduate from colleges or high school.
Manufacturers face several problems:
- a shortage of reliable workers – skilled or trainable
- a shortage of mechanics
- a shortage of middle management
- burden with taxes which prevent salaries to be competitive and incentive to be offered
At the moment, there are too many companies in the finance/investment sector where money
is easily earned. Until they stop make false promises and pulling the work force in that direction, no one will want to get their hands dirty and learn a job that takes time to learn.
The younger generations want instant gratification which is hard to obtain in a field which requires
patience, skills and knowledge to master.

Telephone: +44(0)29 208 74843
Fax: +44(0)29 208 74604
Extension: 77266
Location: John Percival Building
Research Interests
Iwan Wyn Rees is a Research Associate on a project which examines the acquisition of Welsh as a second language (mainly in the Welsh for Adults sector). His research interests encompass a number of interrelated linguistic fields, including:
- Social dialectology
- Phonetic / phonological variation and change
- Sociolinguistics
- Welsh grammar (including regional varieties)
- The historical development of Welsh and its scholarship
Before joining the School of Welsh, Iwan was awarded an AHRC scholarship which allowed him to analyse various dialects of Welsh at Aberystwyth University. He obtained his doctoral degree in 2013 for a thesis which concentrates mainly on phonological variation in two adjoining areas in mid-Wales. His thesis seeks to combine the methods of traditional dialectology with the more recent approaches of sociolinguistics in order to determine the extent to which speakers from similar social backgrounds are linguistically homogeneous.
Iwan was recently awarded a scholarship by Santander which enabled him to conduct preliminary fieldwork in the Chubut province in southern Argentina on the contemporary usage of Welsh in the region.
Teaching Profile
Iwan also contributes to the following modules:
BA Welsh
Level 4
CY1742 Cyflwyniad ir Gymraeg
Level 6
CY2166 Cyflwyniad i Hanes yr Iaith
MA Welsh and Celtic Studies
Professional and Academic Research
Research Projects
The pronunciation of Welsh by learners: An empirical study of language attitudes, perception and production
This research examines different aspects of pronunciation amongst adult learners of Welsh and the linguistic and extra-linguistic factors which influence phonological and phonetic variation. This work has been used to identify variables for future quantitative research and ways in which the research project can inform the Welsh for Adults sector.

I wish I didn't have to admit that it took a depressingly long amount of time to get just the proper shape of those breasts.
Larger resolution here.
I've been increasingly been using the airbrush tool to do some of the tones/highlights. Usually, I'll frown upon the use of it, but it seems to be pretty effective when used just enough in conjunction with harder edges
Just doing some coloring from tonight's stream. Not quite done yet, but it's almost there; should be finished by tomorrow.
Doing the oily look was curiously pretty hard for me this time around. Also, the massive size of her torso definitely throws some things off, so I'll probably have to chop up and screw on bits again tomorrow.
Nothing like taking a fresh look at a crappy drawing by the next day.

(The full video of the montage and Bassey performance have been eliminated from existence.)
How much more effectively does Shirley Bassey convey "the music of James Bond" than that crude montage of breasts and explosions? Sure, part of the allure of the James Bond films is tied to women and stuntwork, but that's not why the series is great. The series persists and remains relevant because of the evolution of the James Bond character and the actors that have played the role over the last 50 years. Roger Moore is barely featured. Connery gets a few obligatory eyebrow tilts. Lazenby ogles Diana Rigg's HUGE TRACKS OF LAND. Brosnan mugs a couple of times. And as far as I can tell, Daniel Craig never wears a shirt. The montage focused on the superficial aspects of the series that Bond detractors always cite when denigrating the series. To celebrate Bond you needed to celebrate the character of James Bond and the actors who have played him… as well as the women and the stunts. I understand that gathering all of the actors on stage was an impossible task (reportedly Connery and Brosnan turned down the invitation to appear). A gathering of all six has never happened (to my knowledge) and it would have been a truly magical moment among a confused and awkward awards ceremony. Nevertheless, in lieu of the actors attending in person, the montage needed to highlight all of our beloved James Bonds — not merely the superficial moments, taken out of context, that lend fodder to those that choose to marginalize 007.

Great twist! The mushrooms had tons of flavor after marinating and were tender and "meaty." I used feta, and it gave the burgers a creamy tang. My only complaint was that the balsamic mayo was a little bit too much, since there was vinegar in the marinade, too.
Balsamic-Blue Cheese Portobello Burgers
If you don't love blue cheese, use goat cheese (chèvre) or feta cheese for an equally delicious, tangy flavor. Gills are the brownish-black walls on the underside of mushroom caps. Scrape them off gently using a spoon. Removing gills keeps other ingredients from turning a grayish brown.

Each year, NFL teams play each team within their division twice and they play one AFC and one NFC team on a rotational basis. To fill in the final two spots on the schedule, the teams need to take on opponents who finished in the same position in their respective positions.
So while we need to wait to find out exactly what date each game will go down, the opponents are set.

Here is some recent press on the AFL-CIO commercial that we produced and casted for Director/Photographer Bil Zelman
Thanks to KWC homey for life Michael Rubenstein, we linked up with India based photographer Colston Julian to produce his shoot of Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal for the cover of the November issue of Harper's Bazaar India. Grooming and cab driver stand in by Damian Monzillo. The shoot was a blast, check it out.
We have been trying to get Noah Kalina to shoot something for Respect since we started and just couldn't the stars to align. We were so stoked when they finally did and it couldn't have worked out any better!
I photographed J. Cole for the 2nd Anniversary Issue of Respect Magazine.

More than thousands of people across the country seek alternative methods of getting the money that they need. One great funding method that a lot of people have found to be helpful is getting Texas Payday Loans. Having a Texas payday loan can be the answer that you are looking for in order to buy the things that you need in a hurry and make ends meet, especially when you have no other resources to turn to and things are going rough financially. These loans are among some of the most sought after due to all of the many wonderful benefits that people can attain from trying them out.
One great surprise that people find to be a really good perk is the rates that Texas payday loan have to offer. Not only are the fees and interest typically very inexpensive when compared to the fees that other loan companies in different state are charging, but they are also affordable enough to be within reach for the average person – which is a good thing considering the financial hardships that many people are currently trying to get past. These payday loan options will sometimes boast a meager interest rate of 10%, which is about half of what other areas are charging to use their loans.
Payday loans in Texas give people the choice to have that supplementary financial support while giving them the option to be flexible and do whatever they have to in order to keep things going as normally as possible within their lives. These funding options are also very easy for the average working person to get, which is a very huge benefit for one to look forward to get cash loans! From the entire process of getting and filling out an application (which can be simply done online in a lot of cases), to putting together a few quick, important documents – the process of receiving one of these loans is something that you or anyone else can easily do with a desire to have one!
Probably some of the best advantages that you can enjoy once you start getting Payday loans in Texas are the life changing benefits. No matter what the use of the funds will be, all that really matters is the positive change that it can bring in a person's life. Important reasons like getting food to put on the table, buying a means of transportation to get to and from work, using the money to fund one's education, and much more – are all reasons enough to consider applying for a Texas payday loan.
Take all of these amazing benefits that you can have, roll them altogether – and you have the perfect way to get the cash that you are in need of with little to no hassle at all. There is no reason why you should not be able to enjoy the benefits of getting a Texas payday loan. Just think of all the great things that you can accomplish once you secure a loan for yourself. All it takes is just a few simple, easy steps to get started. Once you apply and are approved for the loan, you will quickly be able to see the changes within your life, and will most certainly be very glad that you did it!

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Sheboygan County will not be paying as much interest in the future for new bonding for capital improvement projects.
During "Sheboygan's Morning News" Wednesday, county board chairman Roger Te Stroete said the county's financial track record helped to get a lower interest rate. He said the "AA2" rating, which puts the county in the top ten percentile in the country, helped to get an interest rate of 2.59, more than three-tenths lower that what was estimated in October. This means the interest for the $14.575 million dollars borrowed will be $300,000 less.
The money will be used to fund for new emergency radio equipment, joint dispatch, road and airport projects, and work at the Health and Human Services building.

Instead, the creators just mocked the name with new title cards, such as "Badly titled 'Cougar Town,'" every week. However, with a new season afoot, it looks like Lawrence and co-creator Kevin Biegel are opting for a name change, again.
"Screw it. I'm changing it (if Kevin's cool w it. Someone ask him for me)," Lawrence tweeted."Seriously, we just decided. Will use fans to help w new title."
Suggestions from fans started pouring in. From 'C-Town' to 'Friends With Beverages,' Lawrence, fans and even the stars have been making suggestions.
Busy Phillips voiced her support to her 'Cougar Town' bosses and tweeted this at Lawrence, "Honestly, I think if you change it, it should be totally different. Not even reminiscent of Cougartown... Go for it! Seriously."
Meanwhile, Lawrence's wife and 'Cougar Town' actress Christa Miller weighed-in with this suggestion: "I think the show should be called, 'Color Me Christa.'"
There you have it, the name change is on ... for now.
What do you think the show should be called?

Who Is Going to Win: E-commerce or Department Stores?
Masam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The advent of the internet, which facilitated the rise of ecommerce, was one of the most significant moments in the evolution of the retail industry along with Sam Walton starting a little store in Rogers, Arkansas called "Wal-Mart Discount City" in 1962 and the emergence of "big box" retailing in the late 1970's. Although the rise of the internet during the tech bubble forced many retailers to dip their toes into the world of e-commerce, it wasn't until the last few years that many dedicated enough resources to the channel to actually make it a meaningful part of their business. Now that the shift into e-commerce is being fully embraced as a sales medium, we may have reached the point where the industry has no choice but to proactively rationalize its store base. If it doesn't, it could risk a severe deterioration of profitability in the next down cycle when four wall productivity may take another dramatic hit as it did in '08-'09.
That said, a decline in store productivity due to the growth of e-commerce is inevitable over the indefinite future, particularly for the department stores. E-commerce has already contributed to a decline in store productivity over the last several years and the Street expects only two department stores, Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) and Macy's (NYSE: M) to have higher productivity on a unit basis in 2012 compared to 2007. The mass merchant space has been slower to adapt to e-commerce and as a result, all three are expected to have slightly higher productivity per unit in 2012 compared to 2007.
Other struggling retailers such as Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) may also need to reassess their store base if sales remain weak, an event that could serve as a tipping point for another round of rationalization in the sector. From a real estate perspective, although little new supply is being added, the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better, particularly for lower quality "C/D" locations.
More stock-specific section
The following chart shows that only Nordstrom and Macy's had higher productivity in 2012 as compared to 2007 on a unit basis.
Recently, Kohl's surprised the market by posting 13.3% gain in same-store-sales (SSS) reported on the 7th of this month. The company claimed that the sales boost was seen in all segments of the company. However, only the footwear segment failed to post a double-digit comparable sales growth figure. However, the comments about the stock have been confusing in the market. On one hand, some experts call this stock a perfect buyout package given its strong cash flows and attractive brands. However, on a contrary, there are instances like Kohl's being dropped off the list of visible companies prepared through Harris Interactive's 2013 Reputation Quotient survey.
Nordstrom displayed a SSS gain of 11.4% which was higher than the Street's estimate of 6%. Total sales were also 40% higher YoY. Recently, the company's omni-channel approach has been popular in the market. The company was lately criticized for its YoY fall in margins in the last quarter. However, the rise in store productivity for Nordstrom has sent bullish signals to the market.
Macy's has been a hot stock lately. On Feb. 7, the company reported 11% gain in SSS YoY, beating analyst estimates. The company's online sales made a major contribution to the estimate beat, thanks to the omni-channel approach. The company has also been liked by the investors given its hefty cost-saving program.
Foolish Bottom-Line
However, it is important to keep in mind that certain retail categories have been more impacted than others. It is no surprise that retailers who specialize in areas like media (books, magazines, music, and videos) continue to be among the most impacted due to the high ecommerce penetration in those areas. Going forward, I continue to expect the more highly penetrated areas to experience pressure despite some significant bankruptcies and store closures. Even so, this does not mean less penetrated areas like apparel, accessories, furniture, and appliances won't also feel the pressure. It simply means that retailers who specialize in those products have been graced with some extra time in which to develop strategies in how to deal with the oncoming growth of ecommerce penetration in their businesses.

(miles are one way from UW-L to site of presentation)
Our most requested presentation for primary grades provides a great
introduction to the science of archaeology. Young students will learn
about what archaeologists study, how they work and the tools that they
use. They'll discover what archaeologists have learned about the
people who lived in the Upper Mississippi River area before the arrival
of Europeans.
Back to Top
Back to Top
This presentation includes a slide presentation which combines an
introduction to the science of archaeology along with some of the
pre-European artifacts found in the Upper Mississippi River valley.
Our most requested presentation for middle and upper grades. Students
act as amateur archaeologists as they analyze artifacts from various
time periods and ultimately discover new information about the
pre-European history of the Upper Mississippi River valley.
Acting as amateur archaeologists, students experience how
archaeologists learn about past people through their own analysis of
contemporary garbage.
Similar to putting together pieces of a puzzle, students are
challenged to re-assemble broken ceramic pieces, thereby experiencing
how archaeologists reconstruct artifacts and furthermore construct
theories about past cultures.
Working in small groups, students become fascinated with the
identification of replicated spear and arrowheads as they discover the
techniques used by archaeologists to identify artifacts.
Using the same methods that archaeologists use during excavations,
students map and record information from a simulated test unit.
Outdoor Mapping
At a simulated site, students map and record data using a coordinate
system outdoors. Requires a 75' x 75' grassy area.
Back to Top
If your class or school will be exploring areas such as Perrot State
Park or Goose Island, call MVAC. Staff members can meet you at the park
to discuss and/or tour archaeological sites in the area, lead students
in Native American Games, or design a presentation around your
curriculum. For more information phone 608-785-8454 or e-mail Jean.

Addison Intercepts Bizav Flights as Snow Gripped Dallas
Two freak Dallas-area winter storms–one ice, the other snow–in the days leading up to the Super Bowl were bad news for air travelers trying to get to the big game. On Thursday night, a system dumped four inches of snow in an area ill equipped to handle the white stuff, causing both Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth Airports to shut down completely on Friday morning. With large numbers of business aircraft crammed with football-hungry passengers set to arrive at Love Field, the alternate airport of choice quickly became Addison Airport eight miles to the north. As the snow ended Friday afternoon, Addison looked like a parking lot for the heavy iron that diverted from Love. A Million Air Addison customer service representative told AIN that most of the few dozen diversions it received remained at ADS until after the game. Addison sits next to the Dallas North Toll road, which made the trip to Cowboy Stadium only a few minutes longer than it would have been from Love Field.

Whole grains aren't just rich in nutrients — they're packed with flavor, too. From Italian farro to protein-rich quinoa to old-fashioned rolled oats, each grain has a different taste and texture and lends itself to a range of delicious serving suggestions. Here's how to enjoy them in salads, soups, main dishes and more.
|Black Quinoa Salad with Lemon, Avocado and Pistachios
This recipe from cookbook author Deborah Madison stars black quinoa, which adds to the drama of the dish. Tossed with greens, fresh herbs, avocado and feta cheese, it makes a gorgeous side or light main course.
|Sautéed Scallops and Quinoa with Orange-Avocado Salsa
Quinoa mixed with olive oil and a big handful of fresh herbs makes a refreshing bed for these scallops and lively salsa made from oranges and avocado.
|Warm Lamb and Farro Salad with Fennel and Pomegranate
Tender lamb mixes with earthy farro, sweet pomegranate seeds, aromatic mint and crunchy fennel in this main-course salad.
|Farro with Winter Vegetables and Watercress
Farro has a nutty crunch that complements soft-roasted root vegetables. Serve this salad warm or at room temperature — it keeps well for a couple of days in the fridge.
|Beef with Mushrooms and Barley
Tender chunks of stewed beef, meaty mushrooms and pleasantly chewy, earthy barley create a bowl brimming with texture and flavor. This is a comforting dish for a cold winter night.
|Butternut Squash Barley Risotto
This version of risotto replaces traditional Arborio rice with barley, which helps process cholesterol in the body. The cooking method remains the same so your final dish is still the creamy texture that defines a good risotto.
|Bulgur Salad with Roasted Peppers, Chickpeas and Pistachios
Nutty bulgur stands up well to the stand up to the hearty beans, nuts and dried fruits in this dish, which is dressed with a vinaigrette of pomegranate molasses and fresh lemon juice.
|Wheat Berries with Roasted Parsnips, Butternut Squash and Dried Cranberries
This colorful side dish pairs wheat berries — whole wheat kernels — and roasted root vegetables. Enjoy as a side dish for roasted meats or as a light meal on its own.
|Wild Rice & Mushroom Pilaf
Wild rice is dense and earthy, so it's a perfect complement to woodsy wild mushrooms. You'll love that this dish requires only a handful of ingredients to pull together.
|Wild Rice Soup with Porcini and Escarole
Wild rice takes an Italian-inspired turn in this hearty soup, made with meaty mushrooms, slightly bitter escarole and a touch of rich cream.
|Millet Muffins
These whole wheat and millet muffins were created by cookbook author and blogger Heidi Swanson. They have a light, airy texture and bright, fresh flavor, thanks to the addition of lemon zest and juice.
|Maple-Almond Granola
Classic rolled oats form the base of this crunchy fruit-and-nut granola, lightly sweetened with honey and maple syrup. Make a big batch to keep on hand for an easy, wholesome start to the day.
|Steel-Cut Oats with Honeyed Pears and Glazed Pecans
Steel-cut oats result in a textured oatmeal, with a deliciously chewy yet tender bite. Top with crunchy sugared pecans and cinnamon-coated pears, and you'll be in oatmeal heaven.

Eye Candy (Arkansas Art Notes)
ESSA gets an url
Eleanor Lux, the great fiber and bead artists in Eureka, sends a notice that the Eureka Springs School of the Arts has started a blog. And there I found reference to one of my favorite ceramists, or ceramicists, whichever you prefer: Laurie Spencer. Spencer had a one-woman show years ago at the Decorative Arts Museum of her giant whistles, inspired by South American gourd and water whistles. The show included a giant ceramic tree and smaller plant-like vessels that when filled with water and rocked would make music. Turns out Spencer will be teaching at ESSA this summer — and did last summer as well! You have to see — and play — this work to really appreciate it. Link to class schedule is here.

Fox reports on The Artery
The Eureka Springs' City Council's decision to take over The Artery public art project draws the attention of Fox News.
Here's the question: Is there any good "public art," that is art chosen by committee that thinks it knows what's best for the public to see?
Giant clothespins and shuttlecocks work for me. The sphincter that once stood at the corner of Markham and Scott did not. Standing Knife Edge is OK. The fading Jeanfos in front of Robinson Auditorium and the State House Convention Center wouldn't be missed. And so forth.5 years ago • 0 notes

Certificate III in Tourism (Retail Travel Sales)

Certificate III in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery)
How to Become a Travel Agent in Australia - Which Travel Course / Travel Agent Course should you do?
Although there are no legal requirements and qualifications which you need to work as a travel agent in Australia, breaking into the travel industry requires a few key elements. Firstly, some employers require you to hold your Certificate III in Tourism (Retail Travel Sales) which is the nationally accredited tourism / travel course. Within your Certificate 3, you'll not only learn how to construct airfares and process travel documents properly, you'll also learn how to use essential CRS (Computer Reservation Systems) such as Galileo, Amadeus or Sabre. While some employers do not require you to hold your Certificate III in Tourism (Retail Travel Sales), most will require you to have an absolute minimum of 6-12 months experience as a travel consultant and most actually specify 2 years experience required. For this reason, the Certificate III in Tourism (Retail Travel Sales) can really help you because as part of the Cert III, you are required to do a 'work placement' to gain real-life practical work experience in a real travel agency such as Flight Centre. This 'work placement' involves you finding a travel agency nearby and doing voluntary work for them to satisfy certain modules of your course. This 'work placement' part of an accredited tourism course is in itself, a reason to study the course because when you do your work placement at your local travel agency, you are essentially getting your foot in the door and as long as you make a good impression while doing your work placement, you may have a good chance of going back to that travel agency when you are ready, and applying for your first job. The 'work placement' also gives you an insight into the day-to-day functions and environment that you will be working in once you become a travel agent and it enables you to get a feeling for the industry you are going to be working in, making sure it's suitable for you.
One final point to mention about becoming a travel agent in Australia is travel experience. Employers will almost always demand that you have a reasonable amount of travel knowledge / travel experience under your belt. If you have travelled within Australia, that is fine - you can simply work in the domestic travel sector. If however, you would like to work within the international travel sector, it will usually be a requirement that you have travelled overseas and are able to display at least some first-hand knowledge of a few countries / overseas destinations. If you haven't done your share of travelling yet, don't worry, you can begin studying your Certificate III and organise an overseas trip as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can begin working in the domestic sector if you've travelled around Australia a bit, and then when you get the chance to travel overseas, you can move into the interational travel sector.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
As we approach the 2010-11 season, let's take a look at a quick analysis of the individual blazer players. please note that these capsules are as of september 25, two days before the start of training camp.
Brandon Roy: this could very well be his year. he's working out, getting stronger and will be at his prime to start the season. The unquestioned team leader is respected by teammates, coaches front office and fans. ideally, if he averages 23.0 ppg he'll have the team on the right track. needs to keep teammates involved and be vocal in the locker room. provided emotional lift to the team by coming back to play in game four of the first-round playoff series against the suns – just eight days after having surgery to remove torn cartilage from his knee.
LaMarcus Aldridge: is not given credit for all he did last season, fighting through the team's injuries. led the team despite his teammates missing 317 games due to said injuries. biggest knock is his settling for outside jumpers, but can go inside as well. worked well with Greg before the latter went down to injury. the two complimented each other very well on the inside-outside game. has added 20 pounds of muscle and added a personal trainer over the summer so he has the potential to grow as an inside threat. should benefit from the experience of new coach Buck Williams. runs the floor very well for a player his size.
Nicolas Batum: the sky is the limit here. he made great strides from his rookie to second years. defense is his specialty, but he has the ability to average 15 points, along with seven rebounds, per game. according to reports, will likely play consistently 30-33 minutes per game. effective 3-point shooter who should only get better from behind the arc. looked impressive this summer playing for france in FBLA tournament. is the team's best defender. is a fan favorite and the designated starter at sf.
Andre Miller: some question his ability due to age, but he has no major injuries (aka 'career-shortening' injuries) in his career and was healthy enough to play in 82 games in 2009-10 (starting 66). should have about three more very productive seasons before career may begin to decline. unlike last year, will begin the season as the starting pg. seemed rejuvenated in a veteran leadership role last year. scored career high 52 points last season. improved 3-point shot would even boost his game further.
Marcus Camby: wonderful acquisition at last year's trade deadline. is a menacing defender and extraordinary rebounder. possesses an effective 18-foot shot which appears to come about in slow-motion form. was asked to do a lot at the injury depleted center position right away last year. This year is different, as he will play some center, as well as back up LaMarcus at pf. brings maturity and veteran leadership to an otherwise young team.
Greg Oden: this could be the make or break year for the former number one pick. improved his scoring average by 2.2 and rebounding 1.5 per game from his first to second seasons. with the presences of Marcus and Joel, will not be expected to carry the entire load at center this year. averaged 24 minutes per game last year, and will likely play about the same. came back very nicely from injury once; if he can duplicate that and play in 60-65 games this year with similar numbers, his season should be deemed as successful.
Jerryd Bayless: aggressive, promising pg who can also play sg if needed. not a true pg, but he fits there better on this roster than anywhere else. is a bit of an insurance policy at guard in case of injury; without him, there would be no experienced depth at either guard spot. had perhaps his most success against the suns, both during the season and the playoffs. is a tireless hustler who needs to work on consistency and control, but can have break-out games at times.
Dante Cunningham: intelligent, exciting player should see some time this year at both forward positions. shot 60 percent from the field and 83 from the charity stripe last year. has a nice, reliable mid-range jumper. has length and is an effective defender. can run the floor very well and is willing to make the extra pass when needed. does a nice job of limiting mistakes; not hurting the team while he's on the floor. huge upside here, and has a chance to become a major rotation player in his second season.
Wesley Matthews: the team's only free agent acquisition can play sg and sf. will see minutes as Brandon's backup and split relief duties with Dante at sf. An effective defender who played well for utah last year as a rookie, though the jury is still out on whether he'll duplicate that or improve on it in his second season. can be a positive replacement should the team move Rudy (as is expected). has a good attitude and could endear himself to fans as the season progresses.
Jeff Pendergraph: pretty much the enforcer on the roster. showed some nice things during limited time in his rookie season. needs to stay out of foul trouble. a promising rebounder, he can play some center in emergency situations. great work ethic and attitude. he should also benefit from the presence of Buck Williams. likely will be 11th or 12th man, but may have the chance to get some minutes behind LaMarcus and Marcus, especially until Joel and Greg come back from their injuries.
Joel Pryzbilla: is the team's elder statesman. tough defender and rebounder. appears that his role will be lightened with Greg and Marcus, but could give significant minutes when needed. amazing work ethic and positive attitude. priorities are in the right place. can serve as a veteran leader. needs to come back from injury in good shape. possibly will be ready to play the first week of the season, or soon thereafter.
Armon Johnson: strong defender and quick. will likely be the third pg on the depth chart. barring an injury, he's unlikely to get huge minutes, but really should get an opportunity to do some special things on the court when he gets there. he must be willing to be patient and learn. he could endear himself to the team and fans as a future man in the rotation.
Luke Babbitt: very good shooter who can hit the three. technically is probably the fourth sf in the rotation behind Nicolas, Dante and Wesley, so he is unlikely to see much time immediately. may be able to slide over to pf in the event of foul trouble or injury. could see some spot time at the end of games and quarters if the team needs a 3-pointer. must improve his defense.
Elliot Williams: seems a similar style to Jerryd, but will likely get his minutes at sg. unlikely to play a lot during his rookie season (barring trade or injuries to teammates). quick guard possesses an adequate outside jumper. unproven, but filled with potential. extremely athletic, possessing a 42-plus inch vertical leap. will be best served to listen and learn from Brandon until he gets his chance. needs to be patient and make the most of the few minutes he'll see.
Rudy Fernandez: if all rumors are true, probably won't be a blazer by season's end, and certainly unlikely to remain on the team past the trade deadline. from the reports, that wouldn't bother him a bit. wants to be a star player, but lacks consistency and the drive to reach that. has soured on his role as a backup, but that's not going to change as long as Brandon is around and healthy. will battle Wesley for backup role to Brandon, and with Wesley and Dante to back up Nicolas. good hustler with a sweet three-point shot.
Patrick Mills: though still unsigned at the time of this writing, he could find himself on the roster depending on the trade compensation for Rudy. quick, offensive minded guard who possesses a nice outside shot and a keen ability to distribute the ball. adequate defender. won't see too many minutes if signed, but is familiar with the team and system. was a leader on his australian national team. can be an exciting player to watch. showed great signs of his ability while playing in the developmental league last season.
Good breakdown, Kassandra. Too bad you're going to have to another one when my main man Seraphin comes around!
Outstanding layout. Im anxious to see how much tweaking if any will be made to the roster as the season progresses.
Very nice insights Kassandra. It all looks to be spot on to me, besides that Matthews has to split time at back up sf with Cunningham. I don't think Cunningham has to worry about playing any sf.
Awesome stuff, Kas. Can't wait for this season!!
Nice breakdown. Obviously, the stuff about Rudy, post-media day, is perhaps not as relevant. If anything, Rudy should be prepared to ride the pine for the next two years. I don't think there is going to be much forgiveness for his remarks from Coach Nate on up. And his statements that he just wants to play in Europe and isn't suited to the NBA game pretty much killed trade options, unless another team is convinced they can turn him around and is willing to take a real gamble.To be honest, I am a bit worried that Nico's spot at the 3 is less secure than most think, as Wesley will likely be battling for a starting spot, and Brandon's job is untouchable. Wesley is more suited for the 2, but can reportedly play the 3 pretty well. Matthews has said previously that he is not interested in coming off the bench for long. This could be good though, as Nico will have to push himself to truly excel :)
Great work Kassandra! Looks like you put a lot of time and research into this. I agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm pumped to see LA play this year. I think it might finally be his break out year. He gained a lot of confidence and quality playing time last year with all the injuries and I hope he continues to be a team leader, on and off the court. Brandon will be Brandon. And Greg, oh poor Greg. True this is a make or break year for him. For his sake, and the team's sake, I hope he stays healthy and helps the team. Well now that I've rambled forever, I'll stop lol. Good post!
Good job! although dante is most likely not backing batum he will probably back aldridge for the start of the season and wes will be taking most minutes at the 3 after batum with babitt getting limited minutes and rudy will be the 2 off the bench with jerryd being the backup 1 which i believe is the best rotation
Nice breakdown of each player!

Year / Model Reviewed:pre 1997 Trooper
Strengths:Cavernous size, reliability, supportive seats on LS model
Weaknesses:Wind noise under windshield trim, slightly underpowered (mine is 1995 model, only 175 hp), oil consumption, cheapo cloth on seats, high center of gravity
Summary:(pre 1997 Model) - I haven't had any mechanical problems with it with 70,000 miles, with the exception of the spark plug wires going bad. Like the other reviewer said, watch the oil...mine needs about 1 quart per 2000 miles. First japanese vehicle that I've owned that required oil between oil changes.

Strengths:Very reliable
Weaknesses:None thus far
Summary:(pre 1997 Model) - I paid only $20,000 for this baby in 1997, and have been happy ever since. Keep changing the oil and everything else seems to keep on ticking.
Have had it off road (nothing serious) and in 4-wheel and these features are very easy to access and use.
Lots of space in back seat and in storage area in back. Happy!
Used product forMore than 1 year
Price Paid:
from City Isuzu, Jacksonv
Year / Model Reviewed:2004 Trooper S 4wd
Strengths:Reliable, sturdy vehicle. Excellent value and warranty. Isuzu dealers really cater to their customers. Roomy, well designed interior and plenty of power to tow a camper or boat. Gas Mileage not bad (17 city, 21 highway).
Weaknesses:Rides, drives like a truck, steering wheel seems larger than needed. Turning radius wide when compared to Pathfinder and 4 runner. Note that before carpal tunnel, I had no problems with this vehicle at all! Why did Isuzu stop making the Trooper?
Summary:Bought it new. I researched SUVs extensively before trading my 1998 Pathfinder and I wouldn't be thinking about trading it in except for severe carpal tunnel in both wrists. I have never had better service from a dealership or a more reliable vehicle. The Trooper drives and rides more like a truck, excellent design inside and out.

Year / Model Reviewed:2003 Isuzu Trooper
Strengths:Smooth ride. Turbo on demand. Love the get up and go. I'm a safe but a little aggressive driver. This suv gets me where I'm going.
Weaknesses:Gas Mileage. 17-18 city.
Summary:Love the ride! This is by far the smoothest riding vehicle I've owned. I love it for traveling and so much smoother that I ever imagined. I don't want to trade it in due to increase gas prices. But thought about it for a minute. This SUV is worth keeping even at the higher gas prices. I wish I could get a sunroof added and not have problems with leaking. Greatest car buy I've made

Strengths:POWER, DURABILITY, STABILITY and REABILITY. - just don't forget your periodic maintenance service check up. very important!
Weaknesses:Can't think of any as far as my experince is concern. But Gas consumption is not an issue for me, just enjoy your RIDE!
Summary:As always, I'm very impressed with Isuzu's diesel engines. Trooper was the best SUV full size that Isuzu ever had, it's just sad that they stop manufacturing it and replaced it with a non-comparable substitute "Altera". The trooper handles very well and the "boxy" design and feel just suits my driving style. The power of a Trooper is uncomparable, and th elonger you drive it the better the engine goes. i never tried abusing it though, but some of my friends really drove it as if there will be no tomorrow! imagine trecking and going to cities 'till it reached 1000 miles!!! and it never choked! To those who's thinking to buy a Trooper... GO FOR IT. IT'S THE BEST full size SUV.
