"I think that we can gain market share a bit more this year, even though we don't expect any revenue increase, frankly speaking," he said.LG said earlier on Wednesday that it plans to boost its spending on research and development this year. In 2008, LG spent about 4 percent of total revenue on R&D, Ahn said."Even though we have a recession now, like everybody, we do not want to reduce our marketing spending and we want to invest more money on R&D and customer service service and eco-friendly and environmental issues," Ahn said."It is a hard decision because revenue could be reduced because of the recession and profit will reduce because of competition. But we want to invest for our future," he said.Ahn said he did not expect to have to manage costs through major restructurings, but that the company would take advantage of falling material costs.He also said LG may expand its retail footprint by selling its products through mass merchandise clubs like Costco Wholesale Corp.(Reported by Franklin Paul, editing by Tiffany Wu, Leslie Gevirtz) Technology Media. Brian Kelly is the new head coach at the University of Notre Dame, and theres no time to waste. While nearly 60 other college football programs use extra practices and national attention to hype their programs en route to year-end bowl appearances, its imperative that the Irish get off to a great start in the Age of King Kelly Heres a five-part plan for Coach Kellys first five days.

As stated in his introductory press conference, Kelly wont have five yearshell barely have five minutes. Welcome to South Bend, Coach Kelly. Its time to go to work. 1. Build a Staff Kelly must build a top-notch staff, and fast. Every ND watcher, from the New York subways to the Pacific shores, knows that the Irish defense needs to find a Charlie Strong or Will Muschamp to transform a 2010 group that ranked 82nd in pass defense and 90th in run defense. Hes an icon to young men like Ian Williams and Ethan Johnson, who have both lauded his efforts and talked about how much they look up to him as a former NFL player, ND coach, and person of character Lastly, get guys who can recruit. Rob Ianello, Tony Alford, and Charlie Weis brought in serious talent over the past five years. Kelly needs to recruit major hot beds from south Florida and central Texas, to California and the Rust Belt. Find coaches who have a proven track record of major recruiting success and make sure ND remains in the Scout and Rivals top-20 year after year.

Keep Young and Powlus, former ND players who understand the unique traditions and pressures of South Bend. Find a new, and highly regarded, D.C. to nurture the potential of the ND defense.If Kelly can complete this staffing trifecta, hell be well on his way to completing his five-minute plan. 2.

BK must reach out to them quickly, solidify each verbal, and maintain a class thats already got the potential to finish in the top-25 (they are currently ranked No 12 by Rivals and No 15 by Scout).
