			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The coming release of Google&#8217;s browser called Chrome have some web designers concerned about compatibility. Mike Feiman writes &#8220;&#8230;<a href="http://www.practicalecommerce.com/blogs/post/427-Does-Chrome-Matter-" rel="nofollow">I found that since the Chrome launch, approximately 3% of our traffic going to PoolDawg.com is using the Chrome browser. 3% is not a huge number unless you consider that the browser has only been widely available for about a week</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>While reporting few issues with capability, himself, Feiman does report that others have seen some issues thus far.</p>
<p>Google declares that their system prevents rogue websites from crashing their browser&#8217;s interaction with other sites as all sites are kept in tabs that isolate them in something Google refers to as &#8220;<a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html">sandboxes</a>.&#8221; </p>
<p>We are eager to explore this new browser and expect it will play a central role in online browsing as it gains popularity over the next 12 months.</p>

<p>When asked about her new role in customer service she said, &#8220;It has been a challenge, but [at the same time] it&#8217;s been worth it.  Every day is a different day and that&#8217;s a big part of what I like about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>With high levels of energy and a spunky personality, Kristen is one of the most lively and dynamic personalities in the group. This makes her the perfect candidate to suite our customer care department. Customers and co-workers alike will enjoy the fun-loving personal touch Kristen Bodurtha brings to the company.</p>

Do not fear, however, tea drinkers and coffee drinkers can get along&#8230;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The short week coming up means double time at the office. The major plus is that we all will have the chance to spend quality time with those we love. A long weekend every time and again is a great thing. Also, the 4th of July creates a special opportunity for families and friends to gather together to remember the previous generations of Americans who helped to build this country.</p>
<p>Whatever your political persuasion, have a terrific 4th of July!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>LeBlanc Global</h2>
<p>LeBlanc Global has taken a winning team and a tried-and-true strategy to embark on one of its largest endeavors yet. With the advent of new and stable software technologies and our exceptional gains in 2007, we are moving to add new people to the team in 2008. Our goal is to triple the size of our a network of sites over the next 18 months to access new markets. While profits are expected to slow with added weight of re-investment and a sluggish economy, we expect sales to exceed 2007 by 15 percent.</p>
<h3>New Team Members</h3>
<p>New additions to the company include Nathan Kharrl (Assistant Project Manager and Lead Editor), Renzo Johnson (Lead Web Design &amp; Professional Photographer), Jennifer Spear (Assistant Editor), Aaron Weiss (Copy Writer), and Jamie Miller (Assistant Designer and Copy Writer). These people show great promise to help facilitate our strategies and push LeBlanc Global forward through the rest of 2008.</p>
<p>Projections suggest that we will have added an additional seven to ten people to the main project by the end of the 18 month sprint. However, this will depend heavily on any further downturns in the economy. If the downward cycle continues to hurt the retail sector we may move laterally along the project base to focus more strongly on the &#8220;greener&#8221; markets.</p>
<h3>Plans to Re-facilitate</h3>
<p>Currently, we have paused on our plans to purchase a new facility. While a definite timeframe has not been issued, it is likely we will not be looking to buy a new property for the next 10-24 months. This precautionary measure will allows us to better redeploy our earnings to marketing and personnel during these trying months.</p>
<h3>Travel Site: &#8220;Project-T&#8221;</h3>
<p>While the name and concepts of the first travel site company are very much under wraps, it is expected that phase one will commence late sometime in June. This site is expected to add a significant source of revenue within 12 months of launching. More will become public as phase two is rolled out.</p>
<h3>Trustfield Internet Solutions Consulting</h3>
<p>The decision was solidified this April, to roll back the public consultation services of Trustfield Internet Solutions. Due to a slow in prospects and the profits of LeBlanc Global in 2007 and those expect this year as well, it has been decided the Trustfield Internet Solutions will only provide services to the group. This decision was made in part because of added start-up costs likely to draw from the core company set to properly place TIS in a winning position to bring in a viable level of clientele. The full scale impact on TIS has not yet been assessed, but at this time only nominal services are being offered to current clients.</p>
<h3>TrusteCart Retained</h3>
<p>TrusteCart will continue to be maintained for the websites currently depending on this technology. However, with the roll back of the new release, we have decided to employ two new PHP based software packages in the launch of our next several websites. We are hopeful the development of TrusteCart will exceed our expectations, but believe the new cart version will not be ready until late August.</p>
