In 1967 Sprague hired five top executives away from Fairchild, among whom were Charles E Sporck and Pierre Lamond.

Peter Sprague, Pierre Lamond and the affectionately called Charlie Sporck worked hand-in-hand, and with support of the board of directors, to transform the company into a multinational and world-class semiconductor concern.

Meanwhile, sources of funds associated with Sprague coupled with creative structuring of cash flow buffering due to Sporck and Lamond provided the financing required for that expansion.

National Semiconductor's manufacturing improvements under Sporck ( in collaboration with Lamond ) had not been enabled by emphasis on process innovation but on improving and standardising processes already established by other companies like Fairchild and Texas Instruments.

Sporck and Lamond directed the company towards exploiting the growing commercial and industrial applications market, thus lessening dependence on competing for military and aerospace contracts.

Sporck, Pierre Lamond and most managers had grown upset and disillusioned with corporate focus on unprofitable ventures at the expense of the semiconductor division.

Lamond had recruited Sporck to be his own boss.

When negotiations with Plessey broke down over stock options, Lamond and Sporck succumbed to Widlar's and Talbert's ( who were already employed at National Semiconductor ) suggestion that they look to National Semiconductor.

Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam had a style that was less electro and more pop, and paved the way for artists such as Corina, Stevie B, George Lamond, Sweet Sensation and the Cover Girls to cross over into the pop market.

As they had while employed in Fairchild-Sporck and Lamond directed National Semiconductor towards the growing industrial and commercial markets and to rely less on military and aerospace contracts.

Among them was Pierre Lamond, who had been the chief IC designer ( now partner at Sequoia Capital ).

Actually, Lamond had previously assembled a team of Fairchild managers in preparation to defect to Plessey, a British company.

" Lamond said that Shah seemed to have become somewhat disillusioned with Gardner, and had told him one day, when he was visiting for tea: " When I was interviewing Gerald, I sometimes wished I was a News of the World reporter.

His daughter Gwynetha had married publisher and politician Hector Lamond in 1902.

Osborne married Augusta Schmidt ( 1883-1974 ) on June 3, 1905, in Chicago and had the following children: Perry Olsen ( 1907-1974 ) who married Lavina Minnie Price ( 1909-1989 ); and Evelyn Olsen ( 1909-2002 ) who married Wilbur Lamond ( 1912-1983 ).

She also played the part of a ballet teacher, Madame Lamond, in the I Love Lucy episode, The Ballet in 1952.

Lamond has also released a couple of salsa albums and scored a number of hits on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks.

In 2008, Lamond released a new single titled " What is Love " on an album titled Don't Look Back-Session 2 produced by famed freestyle producer, Carlos " After Dark " Berrios, and a cover of Journey's " Don't Stop Believin '" released on Robbins Entertainment produced by Giuseppe D. Lamond is featured on the Lucas Prata cover of Level 42's ' Something About You ' found on Prata's " Never Stop Dreamin '" album, also produced by Giuseppe D.

The condition also served to curtail his career as a concert pianist: when Holbrooke revised his Piano Concerto The Song of Gwyn ap Nudd in 1923 it was for a performance given by Frederic Lamond.

Notable performers in the freestyle genre include George Lamond, Collage, Jocelyn Enriquez, Nu Shooz, Johnny O, Sa-Fire, Stevie B, TKA, Judy Torres, Information Society, Exposé, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Brenda K. Starr, La India, Shana, Corina, Nocera, Company B, The Cover Girls, Noel, Pajama Party, Shannon, Will to Power, Sweet Sensation, Seduction, Linear, Lisette Melendez, Angelina, Laissez Faire, Cynthia, Coro, and Rockell.

Artists such as George Lamond, Exposé, Corina, Sweet Sensation and Stevie B were still heard on mainstream radio, but other notable freestyle artists did not fare as well.

Later on, he was taught by Victor Schiøler, Liszt's student Frederic Lamond, and Busoni's pupil Egon Petri.

Pennebaker and edited by Walker Lamond called 65 Revisited.

Joanna Lamond Lumley was born on 1 May 1946 in Srinagar, in the princely state of Kashmir and Jammu, which was then part of British India.

According to Frederic Lamond, Bracelin's name was used because Shah " did not want to confuse his Sufi students by being seen to take an interest in another esoteric tradition.

Joe Lamond played drums in the mid to late eighties.

May Day: Started in 1968 by Professor Bennett Lamond of the English Department, who retired in 2004.

Other IMT identities included Joff Ellen, Val Ruff, Panda Lisner, Mary Hardy, Rosie Sturgess, Patti McGrath ( later Patti Newton ), Toni Lamond, Philip Brady, Johnny Ladd, Noel Ferrier, Elaine McKenna, Bill McCormick, Ted Hamilton, The Tune Twisters and the Channel 9 Ballet.

Incidentally, Sporck had been Widlar's superior at Fairchild before Widlar left Fairchild to join Molectro due to a compensation dispute with Sporck.

National Semiconductor under Sporck was not particularly invested in marketing strategies, even though it had the vision to launch itself into new and apparent opportunities in the consumer market.

Sporck had applied strategies that made National Semiconductor function as a low-cost mass manufacturer of semiconductor commodities.

The Business section of The New York Times January 11, 1991 reflected the over-capacity generated by Sporck that had to be inherited by Amelio.

The tenant of the theatre Johann Koháry came into financial difficulties in 1773, he got in 1773 Joseph Keglevich as a curator to his side, the director of the theatre Wenzel Sporck, who was the great nephew of Franz Anton Sporck, who had brought the french horn and Antonio Vivaldi to Prague, got a committee for financing under the chairman Franz Keglevich as his assistance in 1773 and Karl Keglevich became the director of the Theater am Kärntnertor in 1773 to have comparative figures.

He had first distinguished himself at the battle of 1 August 1664, fighting among Imperial forces against the Turks and had campaigned in Hungary with general Johann Sporck in 1671.

To make the deal better for Sporck's hiring and appointment for half his former salary at Fairchild, Sporck was alloted a substantial share of National's stock.

At the time of Sporck's hiring, Robert Noyce was defacto head of semiconductor operations at Fairchild and Sporck was his operations manager.

Charles E Sporck was appointed President and CEO of National.

In essence, Sporck took four of his personnel from Fairchild with him as well as three others from TI, Perkin-Elmer and Hewlett Packard to form a new eight man team at National Semiconductor.

Immediately after becoming CEO, Sporck started an historic price war among semiconductor companies, which then trimmed the number of competitors in the field.

Cost control, overhead reduction and a focus on profits implemented by Sporck was the key element to National surviving the price war and subsequently in 1981 becoming the first semiconductor company to reach the US $ 1 billion annual sales mark.

Robert Swanson's leaving the company in the same year to found Linear Technology was another indication of the appropriateness of organisational strategies of National Semiconductor under Sporck.

On 1991 May 27, Charles E Sporck was replaced by Gilbert F. Amelio as CEO and president.

Charles E. Sporck was Noyce's operations manager.

Sporck was reputed to run the tightest operation in the world.

In March 1967, Sporck was hired away by Peter J. Sprague to National Semiconductor.
