Excerpt: Aristotle George (Harry) Agganis ( ) (April 20, 1929 June 27, 1955), nicknamed "The Golden Greek", was an American athletic star in two sports. His family origins were from Longanikos near Sparta, Greece. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts, Agganis was a star football player at Boston University, primarily at quarterback. After a sophomore season in 1949, when he set a school record by tossing fifteen touchdown passes, he entered the Marine Corps. Agganis played for the Camp Lejeune (N.C.) football and baseball teams. He received a dependency discharge from the Marines to support his mother and returned to college to play in 1951-52. Agganis became the school's first All-American in football. Agganis set another Boston University mark by passing for 1,402 yards (1,282 m) for the season and won the Bulger Lowe Award as New England's outstanding football player. Coach Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns thought he could be the successor to Otto Graham and drafted the college junior in the first round of the 1952 NFL Draft, offering him a bonus of $25,000. Boston Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey outdid Brown, however, and signed Agganis to play Major League Baseball for the Red Sox as a first baseman for $35,000. Following his 1953 college graduation, Agganis played with the Triple-A Louisville where he hit .281 with 23 home runs and 108 RBI. He made his major league debut on April 13, 1954. Agganis had a modest rookie campaign, though he did lead American League first basemen in assist...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=819602 ... Read more

Product Description

This IDC Government Insights Perspective presents the 2010 top strategic priorities for Canadian federal government. The document incorporates data from recently completed research and focuses on technology-related initiatives. It provides prescription and insights to both the vendor community and federal government organizations:

• Citizen-centered service delivery (CCSD) top priority. CCSD ranked number 1 overall and as the top policy/program initiative in 2010. The interest in CCSD is not simply to enable, for example, electronic application forms, but rather to keep the citizen front of mind in all business and IT planning and implementation. As we will see shortly, the interest in CCSD is reflected strongly on the technology side with considerable interest in customer service solution.
• Technology interest focused on customer service. To deliver on citizen-centered service delivery, government organizations intend to invest heavily in customer service solutions. Additionally, many federal government respondents indicated that their top technology priority for the coming year was business intelligence/business analytics.
• Analytics help to strategically project service delivery needs. End users need to think more broadly about analytics in the context of service modernization. Business analytics (BA) and decision management tools are able to assist governments in resolving the core business issue, yet government organizations are relatively unaware of this potential and currently systematically underutilize these solutions.
