| Gen Y Guru: Consultant Bea Fields Writes Book on Younger Generation
In May 2006, Bea Fields got a call from an out-of-state company president who wondered why his younger workers were showing up in flip-flops and T-shirts. Because Fields is an executive coach, he wanted her to come to come work with them. They were good, smart workers, he said. But they looked sloppy. They were narcissistic and indifferent toward their work. They had a much more carefree attitude, which affected their work and interaction with fellow employees. "I didn't really want to do it at first," says Fields, who runs her own business, Bea Fields Companies Inc., in Southern Pines. "The whole idea just sounded like something that wasn't yet in my area of expertise." But she had .
Bodybuilding.com to match visitors and shoppers with content and ...
Many e-retailers present customers with product recommendations, a cross-selling tactic that suggests products similar or complementary to a product placed in a shopping cart or purchased. Many e-retailers also offer shoppers plenty of content, information on their brand and subject matter in the form of text, audio or video that educates or entertains. Few, however, have combined the two. Bodybuilding.com LLC is moving in this direction, setting up a system to be launched later this year that studies the on-site browsing behavior and product purchases of customers and presents them with recommendations of articles, videos and even social network members that may be of interest from its vast library of information and BodySpace social network. Im super pumped up about it and I think it is the key to our future growth, says CEO Ryan DeLuca.

Jim Allen commented that Parker Howell did a good job on the Blu-ray follow.
"(Parker) has been here less than a month, and he put together a pretty comprehensive look at an issue that will be of interest to consumers for some time to come," Allen said. Smith said that we have received several calls about the lack of coverage of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Race for the Cure on Sunday. The city desk and features editor had no information on it, although a listing appeared in 7. Looking ahead: We are looking into Spokane County's Civil Service commissioner position and Doug Clark is looking into buglers. Be well.

GOP walks out after House rejects 21-day wiretap extension (updated)
The Bush administration and the House of Representatives are locked into a game of chicken over surveillance reform, and the White House has just torn off its steering wheel. Earlier this week, the Senate passed White House-approved legislation that would expand intelligence agencies' power to acquire communications between Americans and persons overseas without warrants. It would also grant telecom firms immunity from civil suits stemming from their cooperation with the program of warrantless wiretaps approved by President George W. Bush shortly after September 11, 2001. The new law is meant to replace the Protect America Act, a temporary stopgap passed hastily in August and due to expire at the end of this week. House Democrats sought a 21-day extension of the current law in order to provide time to reconcile their own bill with the language approved by the Senate, but under a presidential veto threat, that extension was defeated on Wednesday.
Shirvington urges Ross: Don't give up
While Ross faces a massive challenge to qualify for Beijing, Shirvington has declared he may continue his sprint career beyond Beijing. Shirvo won his last national crown in 2002 while his previous Olympic campaign was in Sydney in 2000. But his impressive form in winning the Sydney grand prix and a third place behind world record holder Asafa Powell last week has given him a confidence boost in his bid to qualify for Beijing. "Can I secure the national title again (tomorrow night) and put pressure on the selectors to choose me? I'd like to think so," he said. "The way I am heading, I believe I am going to be running fast in August and I believe I can justify a spot to be there. I have always thought of Beijing being 'my Olympics'." Ross's coach Paul Nancarrow believes his disillusioned superstar still has the time and talent to make it to the Beijing Games.
