The Value of Social Listening: Tapping into your Customers' Online Lives
Engaging with users on social media is critical, but so is listening. Just like in real life relationships, you will learn a lot more about your target audience if you pay close attention to what they are "saying"—to you, or to (and about) someone else (yes, even your competition).
This session will highlight the key trends in enterprise social, and explain how to leverage these new media to better understand and connect with your audience—and use the resulting data to strengthen your products and services.

State of the MarTech Stack 2018
May 2 2018
55 mins
David Lewis, DemandGen, Jessica Cross, Rollworks, Erik Smith, Treasure Data and David Pitta, BrightTALK
We've all seen the explosion of marketing technology companies over the past several years, clearly illustrated in Scott Brinker's Marketing Technology Landscape that grew from 150 companies in 2011 to over 5,000 last year.
Today, we're seeing many marketers who have been part of the martech tool buying spree in recent years take a step back and assess both how their stack works together and if they're getting ROI from each piece. On the other hand, exciting developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have added capabilities and enhanced others.
So how do we make sense of the martech landscape today? How do you build a stack that answers business needs and takes advantage of cutting edge technology?
We're excited to feature David Lewis, CEO of DemandGen, a leader at the forefront of making sense of today's marketing tools for his clients, along with several innovative marketers who will discuss:
- Martech's evolution in recent years
- Building a stack that makes business sense and delivers ROI
- Where martech is going, notably the impact of AI

Matt Heinz, Heinz Marketing Inc, Adam Koster, BNY Mellon, Matt Wellschlager, Ceros and Victor Baglio, BrightTALK
When asked if they have good Sales and Marketing alignment, many leaders would quickly nod their heads. "Of course we do!" But when it comes down to it, is that alignment real? Are there clear SLAs in place for the treatment of leads and opportunities on both the Sales and Marketing sides? Is the impact of that alignment measurable? Do lead flow, reporting and other critical operations plumbing work as they should? How does this need to evolve as marketing is being asked to support growth across the customer experience?
We're excited to feature noted Marketing and Sales expert Matt Heinz, who will moderate a roundtable with visionaries from both functions where we'll discuss how to make tangible, measurable Sales and Marketing alignment a reality.
In this roundtable we'll cover topics like:
- How the best teams have operationalized Marketing and Sales' responsibilities
- How to measure the Marketing's influence at all stages of the buying cycle
- Which operational pitfalls to avoid

From CMO to CGO: Marketing Takes its Seat at the Revenue Table
Apr 30 2018
46 mins
Liz Miller, CMO Council, Daniel Gaugler, PFL, Maneeza Aminy, Marvel Marketers and Scott Vaughan, Integrate
The CMO role is in a time of great change. On the B2C side, we're seeing several noted CPG brands like Coca Cola eschewing the CMO role and instead hiring Chief Growth Officers. In B2B, there is some traction in the rise of CGOs but the broader trend shows the CMO role becoming much more metrics and revenue-driven. It's an exciting time for marketers but it's critical to understand what's driving this dramatic shift.
Liz Miller, SVP, Marketing at CMO Council will host a lively roundtable with several notable CMOs. In this session we'll explore why this shift is happening, how businesses should think about these leadership roles, and what this means for Marketing as a whole.
You'll learn:
- How the emergence of key technologies has powered the shift to CGOs and revenue-focused CMOs
- How the need for growth influences breaking down old siloes across organizations and placing big bets on innovation
- What a CGO does and whether your company needs one today

Make Your Customers Your Partners
Feb 22 2018
44 mins
Melanie Turek, VP of Connected Work, Frost & Sullivan
In today's sharing economy, people like to offer their insights and expertise. Let them.
By embracing your most loyal followers, you can gain authenticity and reach. Prospects and other customers are more likely to trust information when it comes from a third party, especially one with experience with your products or services.
Power users can deliver valuable insight through reviews and feedback, but they can also help with FAQs and basic customer support issues. This is especially true in the B2B marketplace, where knowledge and experience can pay huge dividends for employees and companies that use them.
This session will focus on creating loyalty programs that identify key supporters and power users, and then suggest ways to engage them to help sell and support the brand, ultimately boosting business.

Aligning B2B Content to Specific Buyers: Industry, Job Role, Location & More
Oct 18 2017
42 mins
Melanie Turek, Fellow & Vice President of Connected Work at Frost & Sullivan
Is your content targeting the right audience? General information is great for broad-based marketing, but creating sticky communities requires that you go deep.
That might mean offering insights that are outside your core competency, but which will add significant value for your users. And it definitely means providing insights that target specific buyers based on the industry they're in, their geographic location (or that of the company they work for), their job role, the size of their business, and more.
The goal is to deliver information that is so relevant, your members see you as a thought leader not just in your area of expertise, but in theirs.
This webinar will discuss the need to go beyond your content comfort zone and offer recommendations on how to create the content you need to appeal to buyers on a personal level.

Actress Neve Campbell has opened up about the birth of her first child, revealing she refused to name the tot until she held him in her arms.
The Scream star revealed she was pregnant with her actor partner J.J. Feild's baby earlier this year (12), but stayed mom about the summer birth.
Campbell and Feild were photographed cooing over an infant while enjoying a day at the beach in August (12), prompting rumors she had become a mom and now the Scream star has confirmed she's the mother of a five month old son.
And the new mom reveals she struggled to name the boy - because she wanted him to have a unique moniker.
She tells The Talk, "I like having a unique name - it's (my mom's) maiden name, Neve - and not a lot of people have it. It's nice having something special and different and so I wanted something like that for our son... We looked through a lot of books and... we decided that we'd wait and see and meet him and then decide."
The pair came up with five options, but after coming face-to-face with the newborn, they made a decision on the spot: "When he was born we realized we could only remember one and that was Caspian, so it seemed like it was right."

It seems that bomb threats at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus have become a tradition.
Several university buildings were yet again evacuated last week after a bomb threat was received. The threat, as usual, resulted in canceled classes and swarms of emergency personnel rushing to campus to search and secure evacuated buildings.
It is the fifth time in almost as many months that such an event has occurred, and the constant distraction is taking a toll on students. But the students aren't the only ones who should be irritated. Taxpayers are facing a hefty payout as a result of the accumulating cost of responding to each incident.
UTC spokesman Chuck Cantrell said the rash of bomb threats remains under investigation. He would not disclose the manner in which the university received the latest threat.
"These cases are being investigated by the Chattanooga Police and Fire Departments and I can't discuss the incident because of Homeland Security laws," Cantrell noted. "These are serious crimes."
Most of the incidents last year occurred during midterm or final exams, an indication that the threats are more likely the brainchild of an knuckle-headed student hoping to get out of taking a calculus test, rather than the work of a terrorist operative.
The Feb. 1 event, however, transpired early in the semester. That may signal a rough road ahead for many students who - during a similar incident late last year - were forced to brave the elements as they took their exams outdoors.
Not only are the threats an unfair disruption to students, the price tag for responding to each incident is costly - as much as $100,000 per bomb threat, Cantrell told the Times Free Press.
And as the costs increase after each event, taxpayers will soon realize that - to paraphrase a quote attributed to the late Illinois Sen. Everett Dirksen - after a bomb threat here, and a bomb threat there, pretty soon you're talking some real money.
It is astonishing, given the post-9/11 era of email and telephone surveillance, that law enforcement personnel cannot locate and apprehend the nitwit (or nitwits) who perpetrated these pranks.
We are fortunate Friday's threat - and the four others - was only an inconvenience for UTC college students and personnel.
The regularity of such events, however, makes it likely that someday those on campus will cease to take such threats seriously - if they haven't already. No one wants that to happen.
But these routine bomb threats will further force students and taxpayers to open their wallets and finance these shenanigans. No one wants that to happen either.
It is a troubling indictment on UTC, local law enforcement and even federal Homeland Security measures that the pranksters responsible for these threats have not been caught. Until they are, the costs and the frustrations will continue to mount for students and taxpayers alike.

Not anymore.
With a near capacity crowd at Nassau Coliseum chanting, "We want playoffs," the Islanders maintained their poise after Michael Grabner scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period and went on beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 on Tuesday night.
The surging Islanders won for the seventh time in nine games and moved two points ahead of the idle Rangers into seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia (17-19-3) is 12th in the East, five points behind the Rangers and the postseason cutoff.
The Islanders, who won just two of their first 11 home games this season, have four consecutive wins at Nassau Coliseum. New York (20-16-4) is four games over .500 for the first time since Feb. 20, 2008.
"Everyone is feeding off the energy, and we're excited," said Islanders center John Tavares, whose team-leading 24th goal made it 3-1 late. "We're raising our game and getting better. And of course, the crowd tonight gave us a big boost."
New York has been tied or ahead in the third period in 34 of 40 games and improved to 19-2-2 when they score at least three goals.
Jakub Voracek gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead in the first period.
Grabner scored his 13th goal of the season at 17:42 of the second with a snap shot from between the circles that eluded goalie Steve Mason, who made his first start for the Flyers since being acquired from Columbus on April 3.
After Tavares scored with 1:37 left, Casey Cizikas added an empty-net goal 28 seconds later. Fans also chanted, "Last-place Flyers" as time ran out.
"We have a singular focus, to play strong defense and elevate our game in the third period," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "The guys are believing in each other and playing hard."
Voracek opened the scoring 6:28 in with his 17th goal. Voracek slid a backhand into the pads of Nabokov, whose momentum carried him and the puck into the net.
Matt Moulson tied it for the Islanders at 15:36 off a nifty pass from Brad Boyes after Tavares started the play. Boyes maneuvered through the defense before backhanding the puck to Moulson, who snapped in his 13th goal.
No. 1 goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, who has all of the Flyers' wins this season, rested in favor of Mason.
Mason kept the Flyers in the game with several sharp saves, most notably stopping Kyle Okposo on a breakaway at 15:31 of the second.
"We still have nine games to play," Flyers forward Simon Gagne said. "All we can do is to keep trying our best."
The Flyers haven't missed the playoffs since 2007, the last time the Islanders qualified for the postseason.
"It's a great feeling right now," said Tavares, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft. "We know we can play with any team in the league."
The Islanders will play six of their remaining eight games on the road, where they are 11-5-2.
"We're focusing on one game at a time knowing that we control all of our cards in our hands," Grabner said. "We still have a lot of work to do."
New York has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of their last nine games, yielding just 14 goals over that stretch. The Islanders haven't allowed a power-play goal in a season-high six straight games.
The Islanders and Flyers split their first two games. Philadelphia won 7-0 at Nassau Coliseum on Feb. 18, and the Islanders won in a shootout in Philadelphia on March 28. The teams will meet once more in Philadelphia.

Nets and Surface Area
Lesson 10 of 19
Objective: SWBAT: • Build a given 3D figure using manipulatives. • Create and label a net for a prism or pyramid. • Find the surface area of rectangular prisms, cubes, triangular prisms and pyramids.
Big Idea: What is surface area? How can we use nets to help us find surface? Students work with manipulatives to build 3D figures, create nets, and calculate surface area.
Do Now
See my Do Now in my Strategy folder that explains my beginning of class routines.
Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. Today I want students to start thinking about covering 3D figures. Some students may realize that there are three sets of matching faces and use these calculations to find the surface area. Other students may try drawing a net to help them. A common mistake is that students confuse covering a 3D figure with filling a figure. Some students may find the volume rather than the surface area.
I ask students what strategies they are thinking about to answer the questions. I call on students to share what they think and why. I have a sample rectangular prism that students can use to explain their thinking. Students are engaging in MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
I show students that we can create a net for the rectangular prism. Some students struggle to use the three labeled dimensions to label the other sides of the net. I explain that each rectangular prism is composed of three matching faces. Two faces that fold together to make one edge must share the same measurement.
Once we have labeled all of the dimensions, I ask students "How can we figure out the least amount of paper it would take to cover this box?" I want students to realize that they can find the area of the faces and add them together. Typically you would need more paper to wrap the box, but the question asks for the least amount.
Resources (1)
Surface Area Notes
We fill in the notes and complete the examples together. I want students to look for patterns when finding the surface area. For instance, with a cube all of the faces are identical so once we find the area of one face we can multiply it by six to find the surface area. I do not introduce the formulas for surface area of a cube and rectangular prism. I want students to continue working with a strategy that works for them. If students find shortcuts on their own, I have them explain them to the class and emphasize why they work. Students are engaging in MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Resources (1)
Building and Measuring
- I use polydrons as manipulatives for this part of the lesson. I have a prism set and a pyramid set.
- I take the pieces that create rectangular prisms, cubes, triangular prisms, and pyramids and put them in their own separate plastic bag. I label each bag with a number. I measure the base and height of each figure in centimeters and label it using sharpie on the pieces.
- Before the lesson I Create Heterogeneous Groups of 3-4 students.
- I tell students that they can use their Naming 3D Figures sheet from the previous lesson.
We go over directions and expectations. As students work I walk around to monitor student progress and behavior. Students are engaging in MP5: Use appropriate tools strategically, MP6: Attend to precision, and MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
If students are struggling, I may ask them one or more of the following questions:
- What 3D figure can you build? How do you know?
- How can you create a net for this figure?
- Is this the only net that works? Why or why not?
- How can you find the surface area? What do you need to know?
When a group has completed a prism or pyramid, I quick scan their work. If they are on track, I give them a different figure. My goal is for each group to work with a triangular prism and a pyramid. If students complete both pages, they can answering questions for another figure.

- I Post a Key for these problems around the room.
As students work I walk around to monitor student progress and behavior. If students are struggling, I may ask them one or more of the following questions:
- What do you know? What are you trying to figure out?
- How many faces does that 3D figure have? What shape is each face?
- How can you find the surface area? Why does that work?
When students complete their work, they raise their hands. I quickly scan their work. If they are on track, I send them to check with the key. If there are problems, I tell students what they need to revise. If students successfully complete the problems they can move onto the challenge problems.

Closure and Ticket to Go
For the Closure, I have students turn to the closure problem. I give students time to work on it. Students participate in a Think Pair Share. I call on students to share their answer and explain their thinking. Students are engaging with MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others and MP8: Look for and make sense of repeated reasoning.
I pass out the Ticket to Go and the Homework.

B&N is not exactly a small business, but the moment they started manufacturing stuff, Microsoft attacked them with ridiculous patents. I'm a much (much!) smaller player than B&N. If Microsoft attacks me, I'll just have to shut down my business.
Heck, I'd even be happy if Google wins these ridiculous patent wars: they don't have a history of unprovoked attacks.
No surprise. Bihar is particularly known for its lawlessness. This is just another example of how arbitrary village councils can get. This attitude that "leaders" need to make rules for the rest of us is quite representative of India.
Reasonable? Depends. Was there some kind of a contract that said that all performances will adhere to the letter of the play? If people chose to accept the contract, they have to abide by it. If so, any intentional deviation would make the result a derivative work. Sounds too bad? Don't make such contracts.
Designate certain accounts or entities as "off limits"? Why should Obama have more rights than I do? Politicians should suffer more than others. Then the whole DMCA debacle might crash. I am so happy it happened to the Obamas.

Mayor Skip Harvey wantz t change the town govt.
Mammoth Lakes Mayor Skip Harvey has a few ideas about how government works – or doesn't – in this town.
Make that a lot of ideas, some of which he tossed out to the town council on Wednesday night.
One of them was easy enough – a proposal to change the structure of town council meetings.
The second one got most of the attention – changing the very structure of the government.
His proposal was to put more power into the hands of the mayor by dismantling Mammoth's current "council-manager" form of government. Mammoth's structure has been in place since the town was incorporated in 1984.
Harvey said he'd like to see some form of a "mayor-council" structure in which the mayor could hire and fire staff department heads, removing that power from the town manager, usually called a city supervisor.
He said that would help in communications between the council and the staff.
He also floated the idea of an elected mayor, putting one person in charge to stop the buck once it is passed around.
Several council members were not impressed.
"We've got an awful lot on our plate right now," said councilman Rick Wood the morning after. "We've got to hire an interim town manager, an administrative services director, a town manager and a police chief." (Dan Watson is an "interim" police chief.)
"It would not be a good time to change the government with a lot these things going on."
Wood did not dismiss Harvey's proposal but said, "The timing is wrong."
According to the California Government Code, the options for municipal government are mayor council; council-manager; directly elected mayor, election from districts and adoption of a charter.
According to the town's staff, there are 442 cities or towns in California with some variation of the council-manager form, and that includes Mammoth.
There are just 28 cities or towns with the mayor-council.
Los Angeles, for example, has a directly elected mayor with executive rather than legislative duties.
Bishop, meanwhile, has a "weak mayor" set-up, in which he or she is one of five council members, who together have the authority to hire and fire city department heads.
A directly elected mayor normally serves a two-year term and the four council members are elected to alternating four-year terms.
Thus two council members and the mayor are elected every two years.
The council took no action on Harvey's proposals, which he presented by PowerPoint.
Any change in the structure of town government would have to go before the voters.
Meanwhile, Harvey wants to change – and lengthen – council meetings.
Under his proposal, the bi-weekly meeting would start at 4 p.m., rather than the current 6 p.m. It would give the council a chance to talk to the department heads and some staff in an informal setting.
The meeting would adjourn at 6 p.m. and resume at 7 p.m., then go according to the way they are run now, but pushed back an hour.
Some of the council members complained that Harvey was creating more work and longer hours. Wood said he'd hardly ever be able to make a four o'clock meeting because of his work schedule.
As it was, the council on Wednesday night finally got of its chambers at about midnight, after a three-hour regular meeting and a three-hour closed session.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 1, 2013) - Bust a Move and the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation today announced that Canadian fitness guru, Tommy Europe has signed on as the celebrity fitness instructor for the March 2nd event at the Ottawa Athletic Club.
Europe replaces American actress/comedienne Jenny McCarthy. Following in the shoes of last year's celebrity guest, Richard Simmons, Tommy Europe will join the team at the Ottawa Athletic Club for this day of fun and fitness, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars every year for women's breast health and cancer care in the local community.
Since Tuesday's announcement of the celebrity fitness instructor for the Bust a Move Ottawa, attention has shifted away from breast cancer awareness and fundraising.
"We are proud to work very closely with our partners in the medical community and the general public to raise funds and awareness for cancer care in our community. As always, our objective and responsibility is to the cancer survivors in our community and keeping the spotlight on our cause," says Linda Eagen, President and CEO of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. "On March 2nd, together with hundreds of men and women, we'll be celebrating an amazing event and we are thrilled that Tommy Europe will join us for Bust a Move Ottawa. "We know that this year's event will continue our tradition of fundraising successes that will help thousands of local cancer patients and their families."
Best known as host of, "The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp," "Bulging Brides" and "Tommy Europe Fitness", Tommy is the country's most sought-after fitness coach. Tommy will join hundreds of participants as they "bust a move" during back-to-back expert-led fitness routines including the "Great Canadian" Kitchen Party with Tracy Cipryk; Dance Revolution (Zumba) with Gina Adams; Feel the Flow (Yoga) with Donna Davis; "BaM" (Kickboxing) Boxing Athletic Movement with Heather-Ann Bratty; and Urban Dance with Momentum Moves Canada.
Tommy will lead the BaM group through his SHRED boot camp - a challenging cardio workout based on his online fitness video program released in 2012, "Shred Bootcamp: 4 weeks to the new you".
Sponsorship dollars cover the costs of hosting the event, ensuring that 100% of what participants raise goes directly to the cause. Together we have already raised more than $114,000. It is not too late to get involved. Join the team at Bust a Move Ottawa on March 2nd by registering online at www.ottawacancer.ca or by making a donation online to help support this amazing event.

NEW YORK, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Private equity firms Genstar Capital and Aquiline Private Equity LLC have teamed up and are in exclusive negotiations to buy Genworth Financial Inc's wealth management business and its San Francisco-based alternative investment business, two sources familiar with the situation said.
Genworth is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc, according to the sources, who declined to be identified because talks are confidential.
Genstar and Aquiline are working with Deutsche Bank AG , said one of the sources, who estimated that the deal for both businesses would be valued at $400 million to $450 million.
A Deutsche Bank spokeswoman declined to comment, as did spokesmen with Genworth, Genstar, Aquiline and Goldman.
Genworth stock was trading up more than three percent on Monday at about $9.00 per share.
Richmond, Virginia-based Genworth Genworth, once part of conglomerate General Electric Co, is offloading the businesses as it faces increased scrutiny from ratings agencies, largely due to losses in its mortgage business. Reuters first reported in October that it was selling the two businesses .
Genworth bought its turnkey assets management platform, which was called AssetMark Investment Services, in 2006 and merged it with Genworth Financial Asset Management to form Genworth Financial Wealth Management. The wealth management business has more than $20 billion in assets under management and sells its portfolios through about 6,000 third-party advisers across the country, according to the firm's website.
Genworth bought its San Francisco-based Altegris business in 2010 for $35 million plus additional performance-based payments. The firm has $3.47 billion in client assets.
This month, Genworth Financial posted fourth-quarter profit that topped Wall Street estimates, but the insurer reported a sharp drop in earnings from long-term care insurance .
Net income available to common shareholders rose to $166 million, or 34 cents per diluted share, for the quarter ended Dec. 31, from $142 million, or 29 cents per diluted share, a year ago.
Operating earnings at the firm's long-term care insurance unit fell 75 percent to $7 million in the fourth quarter.

How can I judge the characteristics of an operational amplifier?
You can judge the characteristics of an operational amplifier using the following three parameters.
- Gain-bandwidth product (GBP)
- Zero-cross frequency
- Slew rate
Operational amplifiers in which these ratings are high are faster and have wider bandwidths. However, it is important to choose an operational amplifier based on the frequency of the signals to be processed. If these parameters are not described in the electrical specifications table, use the following three graphs (showing the characteristics curves) to judge them.
This graph shows the relationship between the differential gain and frequency in an operational amplifier. The gain is high in the low-frequency area from DC, and low in the high-frequency area (the shaded area indicates the range permitted when designing a device).
This graph shows the maximum frequency (sine wave) at which a signal can be oscillated without the output being distorted (the shaded area indicates the range permitted when designing a device).
This graph shows the output response characteristics with respect to the pulse input.

Terrestrial ecosystems of New Guinea
From cool forests to dusty savannas
In addition to forests, savannas and rivers, smaller patches of littoral and swamp forests, as well as heathland, are also found in New Guinea.
RiversHome to crocodiles, freshwater sharks, barramundi and hundreds of other fish species, the rivers of New Guinea rival terrestrial ecosystems in terms of complexity and diversity. They are also integral parts of forest ecology.
Some of the world's great rivers flow through the island's forests, including the Asmat and Mamberano rivers in Indonesia's Papua Province, and the majestic Sepik River and lake country in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Find out more about New Guinea's rivers
ForestsStretching from the lowlands to altitudes beyond 3,000 m, New Guinea's forests show an enormous variety in species, aspect and dynamics depending on their location.
Find out about New Guinea's lowland and montane forests
Savannas and grasslandsSpread along the New Guinea's southern coast, savannas are strangely reminiscent of the landscapes of northern Australia. Open savanna thrives in conditions that other ecosystems wouldn't be able to withstand for very long. Here, there is no more than 2,600 mm of rainfall a year. In the dry season, it gets worse. Precipitation drops to less than 100 mm per month.
Find out about New Guinea's lowland and montane forests
Littoral forestDistributed along the sandy beaches and adjacent plains of the southeast and southwest coasts, littoral forests include common canopy trees such as the Burmese rosewood (Pterocarpus indicus), also known as narra or angsana, and the paper bark tree or punk tree (Maleleuca species). In the southwest of the island, acacia palms (Acacia species) are common on the ground-layer and in lower tree layers.1
Swamp forestsThe swamps are associated with some of the largest rivers, such as the Sepik, the Fly, the Strickland, the Mamberamo and the Purari. Sago trees, which are found close to the swamp forests, provide the staple starch for many people.2
HeathlandHeath is found on poor soils in both highland and lowland New Guinea. In the lowlands, the vegetation grows on infertile soil of a sandy type. In the subalpine and alpine heaths, infertile soils support shrubs and meadows.3

With reference to both the "Standard" and "Deluxe" variants of Corporate Presentation Folder product range, Trade Printing UK would advise that a large area of a single, solid dark colour is not always advised over a large area (as slight horizontal banding can occur through areas of continuous solid colour. The colour and tone may vary slightly across the sheet too, although there are a few workarounds that can do a very acceptable job of it by adding a subtle, virtually invisible "noise filter" over the solid dark colour of your Deluxe Presentation Folder / Printed Folder. This is inherent in the Litho printing process and may happen in your Folder job depending on ink densities of the colours chosen. Your designer will also have to work with our in-house die-cut forme templates - this one is our "Oversize A5" die-cut Forme for Printed Presentation Folders - so you or they will need to allow for the cutting forme itself. The die-cut forme has the potential to move by up to 1mm in any direction and bleed must be allowed on your Folder job to accommodate this anomaly. Also there may be slight Artboard white dust from the Platin die-cut machine especially where solid areas have been used although this is minimized with lamination option. Gloss lamination will deepen your colours. Matt lamination is also liable to mark slightly. Colours you see on your computer monitor, inkjet or laser printer may vary slightly in tone and colour from what will be printed and produced using our litho process of printing (presses vary between printing companies as well but rest assured your trade job will receive the utmost best attention by our press operators.
If you wish to have our most popular shape of Presentation Folder, then you or your graphic designer can also have other professional artwork Presentation Folders Professional Artwork Guidelines designed specifically for our range of Starter and Standard Corporate Presentation Folders and they'll make it easier for your graphic designer to set-up your company's own custom artwork professionally. Otherwise Trade Printing UK can set up your artwork for you. We charge our professional studio rates at £25 + VAT per half hour, but that all depends on your design brief.
As printed QR Codes are becoming more and more popular within the UK, lots of UK companies are now adding their printed QR Code to their Folder artwork and stationery. That means when you send your Presentation Folder to your potential client with your tender, quotation or whatever if you have a printed QR Code somewhere on the stationery your client can use their Apple iPhone camera, Android camera or Blackberry camera to scan the QR Code into their smart phone immediately and then all your company details are already programmed in. Or if you need a specific YouTube video link within your presentation, make up a separate QR Code for that as well that can be scanned and viewed with a QR Code App on their Apple iPhone smart phone. A wonderful 21st century piece of marketing and communication and would sit very nicely on our "Oversize A5" die-cut Forme.
Trade Printing UK.com have kept a few extra copies of certain past jobs to show future discerning customers the quality of what we can produce; thus if you require a FREE sample of a Starter, Standard or Deluxe Corporate Presentation Folder before ordering (and we know you'll be so impressed by the superb print quality for you and your business), just click HERE for FREE Samples today!

As the week comes to a close, two things stand out in the marketplace. First are the unexpected positive job reports in the United States. These reports have given life to the dollar and taken the steam out of Gold's two week rally. Second, negative economic news continues to flow out of Europe and China. Both have cut key interest rates, and that could be a good sign for Gold's global outlook. "While the ECB cut was near term bearish for Gold, as it weakened the euro, it may be more bullish longer term. Added global liquidity, with policy easing measures from the eurozone, China and the Bank of England, may stimulate demand for hard assets, including Gold," HSBC financial services wrote in a note.
The United States has been improving steadily in many key economic factors. Employment reports have shown fewer Americans without work. The housing market has turned a corner and is making up lost ground. The issue is with the pace of the improvement. Even with the unemployment numbers dropping, it is such an insignificant amount that the overall percentage remained unchanged. "Growth has been low, and there remains uncertainty about the economy and policy here and abroad. All of those things are weighing on activity, but overall I'd put it on low growth in the U.S.," said economist Andrew Tilton of Goldman Sachs.
At 9 a.m. (EDT), the APMEX Precious Metals spot prices were:
- Gold, $1633.89, Down $21.48.
- Silver, $28.02, Down $0.48.
- Platinum, $1490.96, Down $25.89.
- Palladium, $595.25, Down $7.71.

What a racket
The Grizzlies boys tennis program earned four state qualifiers — the most in coach Wes Gabrielsen's four years at McMinnville. Doubles teams Nathan Johnson and Cody Thomas won the boys doubles championship, and Adam Kiff and Will Worth finished fourth to also qualify for state.
On the girls side, the Grizzlies are sending three players. Teammates Molly Olsen and Sam Purdy finished fourth in the girls doubles bracket to qualify, and singles player Caitlan Baker was also fourth to extend her season.
Worth and Kiff play at approximately 9:30 a.m. Thursday at the Portland Tennis Center in the first round of the 6A boys doubles tournament vs. Landon Watts and Brandon Poundstone of Barlow. Johnson and Thomas have a bye in the first round and play at approximately 1:45 p.m. Thursday in the second round, also at the Portland Tennis Center.
The first two days of the 6A girls tennis tournament is at Tualatin Hills Tennis Center. Baker plays Courtney Hammagren of South Salem at 9 a.m. Thursday. Olsen and Purdy play Katherine Benedict and Maddy Sandquist at 9:45 a.m. Thursday.
The Mac boys earned 26 team points at the conference championships over the weekend, finishing second behind Newberg (34 points). The Grizzlies had seven all-conference selections — Kiff, Worth, Johnson, Thomas (first-team); Daniel Post (second-team singles); Nicky Domenichini and Brendon Walters (honorable mention doubles). Domenichini and Walters won the boys doubles consolation final 6-3, 6-2 vs. Loen and Steppe of Tualatin.
Johnson and Thomas played inspired tennis through the three-day conference championships. Coming in as an unseeded dark horse, the pair ran through their matchups. Johnson played No. 1 singles this season for McMinnville, and Thomas was No. 2.
"Just all around stroke wise, consistency, power and overall strokes," Gabrielsen said, "they were the two best kids in that bracket,"
Johnson beat three Newberg doubles teams to win the title. After taking care of Atkinson and Staples in the first round, the pair beat a team from Hillsboro in the second round. In the quarterfinals — with a berth in the state tournament on the line — Johnson and Thomas defeated Tanous and Wilbur of Forest Grove that earned the bracket's fourth seed instead of them. Then they won 6-1, 6-3 in the semis vs. Peterson and Tillman of Newberg and 6-3, 6-1 in the finals vs. Yu and Farr of Newberg.
"So much fun," Thomas said. "It's been amazing."
Thomas has a bit of a family tradition of winning district titles in tennis, Gabrielsen said. Thomas' older brother, Max, was a doubles champion for the Grizzlies, and Thomas' mother won a district title for McMinnville when she was in high school.
"That was a really special moment for him," Gabrielsen said.
Kiff and Worth lost in the semifinals 7-6, 2-6, 4-6 vs. Yu and Farr. The pair then had to withdraw in the third-place match after Worth suffered from heat exhaustion in the first set.
Gabrielsen said he was worried for Worth and hopes he can recover in short order for the state bracket.
Overall, Gabrielsen said Newberg had too many good results to overcome, but with Domenichini and Walters winning the consolation finals just minutes apart from Thomas and Johnson winning, he couldn't have been more pleased.
"It was a great end," he said. "All I could ask for."
For the girls team, coach Angelic Huston said Mac's second-place finish was a great finish to the season.
"It was awesome," she said. "I honestly couldn't be more proud of how everyone played in the first round Thursday. The goal was to finish with our best play at districts and everyone did that."
The Grizzlies won six of their eight matches in the first round. Shay Bristow, who lost in the first round, won two more matches but lost in the consolation semifinals.
In the singles bracket, Baker won 6-3, 6-2 in the quarterfinals vs. Kassie Grove of Newberg to qualify for state. Baker lost her next two matches to finish fourth, but Huston said she worked with Baker on developing her overhead, which she used to devastating effect throughout the tournament.
"She has figured out her weapon," Huston said.
Meanwhile, Olsen and Purdy continued to play well. They beat a team from Century in the first round and a team from Forest Grove in the second round. In the quarterfinals, Olsen and Purdy lost the first set to Hamilton and Wiltshire of Newberg 3-6. They came back in the second set to win 6-3, and they finished it off with a 6-4 win in the third.
"They were so excited," Huston said. "The doubles bracket was just unbelievably tough."

NEW ORLEANS — The Tulane women survived a scare Sunday, and the Green Wave did it without its leading scorer.
With sophomore Whitney Bibbins, a former U-High star, on the bench because of illness, Tulane saw an 11-point, second-half lead erased by the Memphis Tigers' 13-2 run with a little more than seven minutes left in the game.
But unlike its previous home game, the Wave didn't fold, going on a 22-11 run of its own and eventually salting away a 72-62 Conference USA women's basketball victory at Devlin Fieldhouse, Tulane's first home league win of the season.
"We're always intense teammates," said Tulane sophomore guard Danielle Blagg, who started in Bibbins' absence. "We have a great, supportive system. Runs are going to happen in games, but we just have to stay together."
The Wave (14-3, 3-1) has put together a three-game winning streak after dropping its C-USA opener to SMU at home Jan. 10.
The victories have gradually boosted Tulane's morale, even as illness moves its way through the roster, with Bibbins — who leads the team in scoring with 13.8 points per game — the latest victim.
Helping to lift the Wave's spirits Sunday was its balanced scoring. Four Wave players reached double figures, led by sophomore guard Jamie Kaplan with 14 points. Blagg and sophomore forward Tiffany Dale each scored 12, while senior guard Olivia Grayson contributed 11.
Grayson and Blagg each had nine rebounds. Grayson also had seven assists, three blocks and two steals.
The Tigers (11-7, 2-2) were led by Nicole Dickson, who scored 31 points.
But Tulane coach Lisa Stockton was just fine with Dickson amassing so many points; no other Tiger scored more than seven.
"I'd rather have one player with 30 than four players with 12," Stockton said. "We played a zone pretty much the whole game, and we felt like she alone couldn't beat us."
On the other side was Blagg, who made the most of her first start of the season by going 4-for-5 from beyond the arc.
Such sharpshooting was key for the Wave, who shot 27.3 percent in the first half but bounced back to shoot 53.6 percent in the second half.
It was all part of a balanced team for Tulane, which kept its wits when the Tigers threatened to take the game over.
"When (opponents) go on a run, you have to keep your composure," Grayson said. "That's what you really have to focus on."
The Wave has a week off before hosting East Carolina on Sunday. Stockton said it will be a much-needed rest to get Bibbins healthy and get ready for the rest of its conference schedule after what she felt was one of her team's best performances of the season Sunday.
"I felt like it was our best effort of the year," she said. "We played for the full 40 minutes. We were doing the right things."

Standard C++ Library Overview
All C++ library entities are declared or defined in one or more standard headers. To make use of a library entity in a program, write an include directive that names the relevant standard header. The Standard C++ Library consists of 50 required headers. This implementation also includes two additional headers, <hash_map> and <hash_set>, that are not required by the C++ Standard, for a total of 52 headers. These 52 C++ library headers (with the additional 18 Standard C headers) constitute a hosted implementation of the C++ library.
A freestanding implementation of the C++ library provides only a subset of these headers:
<cstdlib> (declaring at least the functions abort, atexit, and exit)
The C++ library headers have two broader subdivisions:
iostreams conventions.
Standard Template Library conventions.

Electric motorcycles have got their share of nay-sayers. Although truth be told, more and more bikers are seriously looking towards the electric motorcycle. With Harley-Davidson's recent introduction of their LiveWire electric motorcycle, the e-motorcycle suddenly got thrust into the limelight.
Before, it was the likes of Brammo and Zero to carry the electric motorcycle evolution torch, but these startups do not have the market power that the Milwaukee brand has, and it was obvious if you followed the news; any news, since all TV stations around the world talked about it in their evening news. Even TV stations in Outer-Mongolia showed the Harley-Davidson.
But one place where electric bikes are starting to make their mark is in the motorcycle racing sport. And one race where they are doing so is at one of the most craziest, dangerous and spectator-drawing races: the Isle of Man TT race.
The Isle of Man TT race is a very long track using public roads on the Isle of Man (an island located next to England). And when I write public roads, it means that they take the normal road used by thousands of cars, trucks and buses and close it for a few hours to let motorcycles race on them. Roads that had previously seen mud, dirt, oil and even cattle droppings. All that while the motorcycles race at speeds of up to 150 mph! If you want to read more about the race and the atmosphere of the TT race, I highly recommend the book TT Full Throttle from author Nicole Winters (it's a novel not a biography book, so the story never happened but the surroundings and facts are all true).
At this year's IoM TT race, the current champion and TT legend John McGuinness on his electric Mugen Shinden motorcycle raced around the island, setting a new lap record for electric motorcycles at 117.366 mph. That's an average speed, not the top speed! Below you can see the onboard video of the amazing run. The electric motorcycle is almost as fast as the ICE equivalent motorcycles (Internal Combustion Engine), which stands at 132 mph. The only difference is that the ICE motorcycles do 3 laps, while the electric motorcycle can only do one lap.
But watching the video, you know two things for sure: 1. electric motorcycles will in the next few years become mainstream, and 2) IoM TT racers are crazy and suicidal.
So maybe you are deadset against electric motorcycles, but 100 years ago people were against internal combustion engines, preferring horses. But that changed, didn't it? So why wouldn't electric motorcycles become mainstream?

This time last year, Southeastern growers were scrambling to find wheat seed as the market soared. But a lot can change in one year.
Looking back to what caused the jump in wheat prices, there were declining world stocks in the 2006-07 marketing year and in the 2007-08 marketing year, says John Anderson, Mississippi State University Extension economist.
"These declines were due largely to production problems," said Anderson at the recent Southern Region Agricultural Outlook Conference in Atlanta. "There was a drought in Australia, and there were wet springs and summers a couple of years ago in Eastern Europe. In addition, there was cold weather across Canada that damaged their spring wheat crop. A lot of things happened at the same time, any one of which would have been a big occurrence."
Altogether, he adds, these factors created a phenomenally tight wheat market. "There were also some other things, including institutional issues in the markets. The tight stocks really were the foundation of these soaring prices we saw in the late winter of 2008. I never would have imagined wheat prices would have soared as high as they did," he says.
But there was a large corrective production in 2008, and that will increase stocks, says Anderson. "Everyone in the world grows wheat. I think strong fundamentals in corn and soybeans will continue to support wheat prices, but the wheat fundamentals are not currently as supportive as they have been for the past year," says.
Looking across the Southeast, farmers have a lot of options as far as which crop to plant, and Anderson doesn't believe wheat will be a popular choice.
"I don't think we'll plant much wheat at all in Mississippi," says Anderson. "Our farmers are a lot more comfortable planting early soybeans. They want to be able to go in during March and then get their beans out. Wheat just isn't compatible with that system. You also have to consider production costs."
Growers, says Anderson, feel as though they "really got burned" by the wheat basis.
"The wheat basis has been very weak, and the basis for a lot of other crops has been weak. But we need to revise our idea of what 'normal' is. What I see with producers is that they say the corn basis is 60 cents under and that's not normal. So we need to adjust what we thought was normal from three or four years ago, because that is no longer normal.
"None of the other costs in the system are consistent with that, so we can't expect the lows to be consistent with that any longer. Obviously, there are some other things going on with wheat, but in general, we have to be cautious when we talk about basis — basis is much weaker than normal. What's normal now is certainly not what was normal back in 2004. But a lot of the producers with whom I've spoken are not thinking in those terms. A lot of things are different today."
The U.S. wheat balance sheet, says Anderson, is a good indicator of where the current market is heading.
"Looking at the U.S. balance sheet, the key here is if you look at what was happening with ending stocks from 2005 to 2006 and through 2007, when we had fairly consistent reductions in ending stocks until we got to a pretty low level. The world balance sheet was doing the same thing, and we really got down to a historically tight situation.
"We are now building back quite a bit, actually up to a higher level than we had in 2005 in terms of ending stocks. Wheat supply can turn around very quickly, and I think we're seeing that this year, not just in the United States, but globally. There are so many places in the world that grow wheat, and that have the potential to produce wheat, that this supply situation is going to continue to loom up and kind of undermine the fundamental support in the wheat market."
Looking at the wheat stocks-to-use ratio, there is a large increase between this year and last year, says Anderson. "We're going back to a level that sort of looks normal, if we have any idea of what normal is. But USDA projected price does not necessarily reflect that change in the stocks-to-use ratio."
Turning again to production prices, Anderson says it is "unbelievable" how fertilizer prices have climbed since April. "This will keep our guys out of wheat. Between this and the wheat basis, and the potential to do well with soybeans, we're not going to see much wheat, and I don't think we'll see that much corn. We'll see a lot of soybeans and some cotton in Mississippi."

Rapper Lil Wayne has been released from a hospital in Louisiana after suffering a second mid-air medical complication in as many days.
The star's representatives downplayed a reported emergency on Thursday (25Oct12), insisting dehydration and a severe migraine were to blame for the hitmaker's mid-flight health scare, that prompted the pilot of his private plane to land in Texas - so Lil Wayne could seek medical help.
He was "successfully released from the hospital after being treated" and sent home to rest.
But on Friday (26Oct12), the rap star was back in hospital following another mid-air emergency - this time over Louisiana.
He was admitted to Ochsner Medical Center in Kenner, treated and released, according to TMZ.com.
Details of his illness and condition were not available at press time.

Get the Recipe
My weeknight repertoire tends toward the healthy. Fish. Beans. Pasta is about as decadent as I usually go. And yet, sometimes, that just isn't enough.
Calamari is like an upmarket version of fish sticks. It's both comforting and slightly elevated. A lot of people get nervous about frying, or about seafood in general, but fried seafood is one of the easiest things you can make, and it cooks in less than two minutes.
Just take some calamari rings, toss them in a Ziploc bag with flour, sesame seeds, and Chinese five spice powder, and quickly fry them up. If you don't own a thermometer to test your oil temperature, don't worry. If it sizzles when you add the calamari, it's hot enough. You know they're done when they look crispy and golden. Then, just squirt with some lime juice and top with fresh herbs, and you've got dinner.
I keep calamari in my freezer and toss it in the fridge to defrost the morning I want to make it for dinner. With ingredients like Chinese five spice powder, you have all the flavor in one jar. Just add a cold beer, and the night is perfect.

Longtime NFL, CFL quarterback Jeff Garcia answered when opportunity knocked with Stampeders
Former Stampeders' QB Jeff Garcia. Sun file photo.
In a career that spanned 18 years and landed him with seven professional teams, somehow it's a 1994 preseason game against the Sacramento Gold Miners Jeff Garcia remembers as well as any game he ever played.
"There are very few games I can recall my stats from, but that night I was six-for-eight with two touchdowns," said the 42-year-old from his home in Rancho Sante Fe, Ca., of his CFL debut.
"It was tied 14-14 when I came in to start the fourth quarter and we ended up winning 28-14. I only found out earlier this year, while talking to Wally (Buono), that they decided before the game they were planning to cut me after the game. That performance got me my first job as a third stringer, beating out Kelvin Simmons from Troy State."
If not for his dazzling debut, Garcia could just as easily have had his athletic career end like Simmons' did.
Instead, Garcia used the opportunity to jumpstart a career that will culminate with him being honoured on the Stampeders' Wall of Fame Friday night.
Capitalizing first on an injury to Doug Flutie in 1995, doing the same in San Francisco when Steve Young went down in 1999 and Donovan McNabb in 2006, Garcia went on to become one of the most successful CFL grads in recent history. And he did it all by seizing the moment.
"You have to have that one person who believes in you and you have to be prepared to take advantage of your opportunity," said the wiry Garcia, who was known for his toughness as much as his ability to come through in the clutch.
"It makes me think of how fortunate I was."
Signed by the Houston Texans late last season, Garcia still hasn't signed retirement papers and says he's in better shape this year than last, due to twice-weekly workouts with several college prospects. With four young kids at home, he says the only team he'd play for now is San Diego.
Joking about how he'd love to step in and run Dickenson's offence (Friday night), he says thoughts of returning to the CFL were not entertained the last handful of years, as he couldn't fathom uprooting his family.
An entrepreneur who has been part of a fitness chain and a restaurant in Calgary, he's now focusing his time on helping others get into the game he played so passionately.
"I was able to live my dream and I want to help others live theirs," said Garcia, whose Beyond Wealth Sports has two clients on NFL practice rosters.
"I can help them maximize their opportunities, because I've been in their shoes. Wally and I have had more conversations in the last six months than we had the last 13 years, because I'm reconnecting with him and Dave Dickenson and Huff (John Hufnagel) and George Cortez and others around the CFL to see if some of my guys can get a chance in the CFL. They know I was a scrapper who represented myself well while playing with them, and hopefully those connections can help some of my clients."
Picked up at the airport by former teammate Vince Danielsen, Garcia tips his cap to a long list of pals he stays in touch with who helped win the 1998 Grey Cup and land him on McMahon Stadium facade.
"Rocco Romano, Bruce Covernton, Rohn Meyer, Jason Clemett, Jay McNeil and Jamie Crysdale are some of the guys who helped make my time in Calgary so memorable," said Garcia, whose parents are also here for tonight's ceremony.
"To be honoured like this is a highlight in my life. I have always loved Calgary and, while five years here is relatively short, it played such a huge role in my life."
As did that steamy night in Sacramento when a career previously destined to perish was pulled right out of the fire in a 15-minute showcase that ultimately led to Calgary's fourth Grey Cup and a Wall of Fame inductee.

Building Customer Equity in the Age of the Customer
These are times of momentous change.
Customers who are now empowered with real-time technologies are changing the way they search, identify and engage with products, services and companies. For companies too, the availability of ubiquitous technology and communication tools means that they are able to understand people and their needs in real-time.
Writing in their seminal book, Customer Equity: Building and Managing Relationships as Valuable Assets, Robert C. Blattberg, Gary Getz and Jacquelyn S. Thomas, argue that customer equity management is now possible because of intersecting advances in four areas:
Affordable information technology | Low-cost communications
Sophisticated statistical modelling | Flexible fulfilment
Information-based targeted marketing is becoming more efficient and effective than blanketed mass marketing. By working with Hansa Cequity, CMOs can bring in customer-equity-based thinking to their marketing programs and win in the Age of the Customer.

If the Mets and David Wright can finalize their long-term extension, giving the Mets their most positive news in quite a while, the team's management should send a lovely bouquet of flowers to Evan Longoria.
Wright, meanwhile, should buy Johan Santana a nice meal in Manhattan to thank him for his role in what would be an eight-year arrangement worth about $140 million — right around where the Post's Joel Sherman predicted last month it would wind up.
Last night, Wright reached out to the website MLB Trade Rumors and expressed disappointment with reports he described as "inaccurate" — he declined to be more specific when he responded to an email from The Post — and Wright's agent Seth Levinson added, "We don't anticipate a deal any time soon."
Eh. While the amount of deferred money could be an issue, it sure appears there is sufficient positive momentum to reach the conclusion both sides profess to desire.
Longoria and Santana have become two of the primary markers in the efforts to make Wright a Met for life. Their existences, and their differing views on the importance of a player's salary, have framed these negotiations.
Throw in some sage projection by Omar Minaya back in his prime of 2006, and you have the parameters of an agreement that, on the surface, seems to be as win-win as one of these monstrosities can be.
The Mets and Wright already were deep into talks when word broke Monday that Wright's fellow third baseman Longoria, at 27 nearly three years younger than Wright, had signed a six-year, $100 million extension with the small-market Rays that would start in 2017 and go through 2022. That's an average of $16.67 million for Longoria's age 31 through 36 seasons.
As coincidence would have it, Wright, signed for next year at $16 million, and the Mets are talking about an extension that would cover his age 31 through 37 seasons and pay him an average of more than $17 million from 2014 through 2020.
Since Longoria is a superior player to Wright, there's only so much higher Wright should expect to go if his preference truly is to stay with the Mets. He gets a few more bucks than Longoria because he's just a year away from free agency and a few more for all of the pain and suffering he has endured over the last four years.
Longoria signed one of the most team-friendly contracts in baseball history in April 2008, a six-year, $17.5 million deal that will wind up being nine years and $44.5 million. This extension rewards him more handsomely, yet it still doesn't come close to matching what he'd get on the open market. Nor does it raise the bar for his fellow third basemen.
That's fine; Players Association executive director Michael Weiner stresses to his constituents that they should prioritize happiness over dollars. Some players take it upon themselves to set new peaks, though, and Santana was such a player. When he signed a six-year, $137.5 million contract to join the Mets in a trade from Minnesota, the left-hander established a new precedent for starting pitchers' annual average value ($22.9 million) on a multiple-year deal, blowing away Carlos Zambrano's $18.3 million per year for five years with the Cubs.
You can understand why, as the Post's Mike Puma reported, Wright and his agents Sam and Seth Levinson, fueled by pride, would want to surpass Santana's $137.5 million figure, albeit over eight years rather than six, to make this the most lucrative deal in Mets history.
It's in this calculation where we slip a compliment to Minaya, who during his magical 2006 campaign finalized an extension with Wright that would pay him $16 million in 2013. That's less than Wright would acquire on the open market, yet it's enough to require only a modest raise going forward in order to leap over Santana.
A contract in this neighborhood wouldn't represent a significant overpay for the Mets. Nor would Wright be settling for too little. It's the sweet spot, the genesis to what the Mets hope will be very sweet news before Christmas.
