Enstar announces new gas supply contract with Marathon
We just concluded negotiations with Marathon for some new supply, Izzo said.
It has to be filed with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska for the state to review and approve.
Under existing gas supply contracts with several Cook Inlet producers Enstar faces gas shortages starting in 2009. The new contract should ensure adequate gas supplies for Enstars gas network until 2016, provided that Unocal exercises its current gas supply options, Izzo said. That could see Enstars gas supplies through to a point when a spur gas line from the North Slope may become a reality.
The good news is that weve finally been able to negotiate supply for that period of serious uncertainty between now and
when we might see North Slope gas, Izzo said.
Editors note: The full story will be in the Nov. 20 issue of Petroleum News.

10/20/08 - The Thirteenth Stroke of the Crazy ClockWe don't set our clocks back an hour for nearly another two weeks, but we've been reading up on daylight saving time anyway. From the 1950 World Almanac on the Ups and Downs of Daylight Saving Time (p535):
In 1949, Grand Central Terminal Station in New York City, used by more passengers than any other railroad station in the country, adopted two sets of summer time. The New York Central adhered to eastern standard time. The New Haven changed to daylight saving time. While trains departed on their regular schedules, they were apparently an hour apart. To accomodate travelers, all clocks were furnished with an extra hour-hand.It has to be true. I read it in the World Almanac.

Beachwear Necklace with earrings made using paracord - All. Hello Friends, Since my first paracord project till now, I have become very very Knotty...LOL.
I mean it, I have been trying and experimenting with knots a lot, especially the decorative ones. I like to thank JD of fusionknots.com for his amazing book on decorative knots. Which had inspired me to create this jewelry set. I like to dedicate this jewelry set to a special friend who had always shown a great deal of interest in my jewelry projects and motivated me when I felt miserable. This necklace set is my original design and I call it beach jewelry because of the colors, beads and paracord (waterproof, strong....?).

Tying it: The Turk's Head is usually tied around the hand. For the demonstration here, the braiding was performed round a piece of wood and the work was rotated as the braiding advanced. Variations: There are many variations on the simple Turk's head. With a large enough loop, many more braids can be created before making the end follow the lead of the first round of braiding; more than one strand can be used; and the number of times the end follows the lead can be varied. Braiding a Single Rope Demonstration: The process of braiding using a single end is readily understood by practicing Braiding with a short length of rope as shown here.

Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa today (25), by sending a get well message, wished Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, a restful recovery from the surgical procedure. "We wish you a restful recovery, so that you return with further strengthened good health to your successful and visionary service, for the progress and prosperity of India and her people," the President said in his message.

Tamil Nadu politics are again warming upon the Lanka ethnic issue with chief minister Karunandhi making a 'final appeal' to the Congress high command to heed his request for ceasefire in Sri Lanka. And the appeal has got him more brickbats than he can ever expect. Ally turned foe, PMK founder S Ramdoss has termed the appeal as weak."It lacks strong push," he said, notwithstanding DMK leader's fresh ultimatum that he would quit the Manmohan Singh government if his wish was not fulfilled. The appeal came at the end of a debate in the Tamil Nadu assembly that culminated in the House adopting a resolution in favors of immediate end to the Eelam War IV.
Hemantha Abeywardena writes from London….
The faculty of human imagination has always been a fertile ground for the seeds of innovative vision, since time immemorial. The birth of steam engine, light bulb, electricity, telephone, computer, guillotine, machine gun, nuclear bomb, internet and even the suicide belt came into being, once the ingenious thoughts of visionaries - and some serial troublemakers as well - of the respective fields made soft landing on the collective imagination of mankind.

Sri Lankan Tamils are to be envied, blessed as they are with such single-minded liberators, who are willing to go to any lengths, to violate any law or norm, to bring deliverance to these hapless people. The LTTE wants to liberate the Tamils from the Sinhala state. Lankan Forces want to liberate the Tamils from the LTTE. And in doing so, neither the LTTE nor the Lankan Forces would count the cost – to the Tamils. According to media reports since last Saturday nearly 100 civilian Tamils (including children) have been killed and more than 300 wounded, in the artillery exchanges between the LTTE and the Lankan Forces
A total of 22 Indian fishermen in six boats were arrested by the Sri Lanka Navy off the coast of Jaffna, while poaching in the Sri Lankan waters and were subsequently remanded by Kayts Magistrate for two weeks. The Indian fishermen who entered into Sri Lankan waters all the way near the shores of Jaffna were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy and were handed over to the Police at Kankesanturai. The Kankesanturai Police produced the arrested fishermen before the Magistrate, at Kayts. The Magistrate ordered all the fishermen be remanded for two weeks. The arrested Indian fishermen were said to be from Mallipattinam, Puthukoddai and Jegathapattinam located in the Tanjore district of Tamil Nadu.
Britain, a country that has been a victim of terrorism of all sorts, made a bold a statement recently highlighting the right of the government of Sri Lanka to defeat it militarily while emphasizing the need of a political solution in the long run. The statement issued by the Secretary of State for Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs on Sri Lanka on 21 January 2009, clearly says that it does not recognize the LTTE as the representatives of the Tamil population in the island nation.
Dr.Manmohan SinghIndian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday underwent coronary by-pass surgery. Doctors conducted five by-pass surgeries to remove multiple blockages in an operation that lasted over 11-hours. 'Everything (operation) has gone off well', External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters after 6-hour long operation by a team of 11- doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here in New Delhi. The 76-year-old economist turned politician has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where only his family members alone could visit him for the next two days.
In an open letter to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, TULF Leader V. Anandasangaree, has questioned why Karunanidhi did not visit Sri Lanka and see for himself the situation that fastly unravels in the country. He said in that letter Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapakse has openly extended an invitation to him to visit and asked what is preventing him from doing so. The TULF leader pointed out that 'seeing is believing' and not to be misled by Parliamentarians belonging to TNA who are proxies of the Tiger terrorists. Anandasangaree pointed out that it was he who represented the majority of the people who are now languishing in the war ravaged zone in the north who are presently prevented by the Tamil Tigers to move to safer areas
Forty one Honorary Consuls from different regions of the world participated in a symposium organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the direction of Foreign Minister Rohitha Boggollagama which was held from 19-21 January 2009. This symposium was inaugurated by President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the Presidential Secretariat. In his address to the Honorary Consuls the President spoke of the challenges faced by the government to restore peace and democracy in Sri Lanka and the military action taken to eradicate terrorism.

Despite vehement denials from it –'nothing is being done under foreign pressure'--Pakistan has obviously been forced by international opinion to look at the involvement of its citizens in the Mumbai terror attacks with some seriousness. As a result the 'information' given by India on the Mumbai terror attacks has now been acknowledged as something more than that, and a three-man team of Pakistan's federal investigating agency will give a report after examining the Indian dossier. It will be premature to interpret these signals from Pakistan as a sign of a real change of heart or a willingness to start a new chapter of sincerity in relations with India. But many Indians are willing to give Pakistan the benefit of the doubt.

Sri Lankan troops on Sunday (today) fought their way into Mullaittivu, the last town held by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, who are holed up in the northeast of Sri Lanka. Army Commander Lt Gen Sarath Focseka told "Asian Tribune," when contacted, that troops belongs to the 59 Division has already entered Mullaitivu. This is the final known urban stronghold of the LTTE, and the Sri Lankan forces entered the township via boats, a military official said. The township which is located on the eastern coastal line of the island is expected to come under government control after a lapse of 13 years.

Motivating MOM of the month July
We are so excited to announce our MOM (Motivating Mom of the Month) for July! Each month we will take a moment to honor one of our local FIT4MOM LSBWK NoVa Moms for her efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle and for her dedication to the program. This month we honor Kathy Murphy from our Woodbridge village!
Kathy just makes me happy! It has bene such a pleasure to watch her conquering her post-pregnancy fitness goals over the past year - with hubby and baby in tow! I'm so proud to count her among our weekend warrior women, and can't wait to see what the next year brings for her and her beautiful family.
~Heather Hilton, River Mill Park Stroller Strides Instructor
Kathy always comes to class with a smile on her face and the cutest little guy (Jackson) in her stroller! I'm so happy I have been able to see her more often over her summer vacation. Her smile brightens my day! I had the pleasure of participating in the Run club with her in the spring as well. She amaze me with how hard she works…she just never stops. She is so strong and such a wonderful role model for her son. Keep going, Kathy, you are awesome!
~Heather Hamtak, Woodbridge Stroller Strides and Stroller Barre Instructor
Kathy truly understands balance. She teaches young children all week - a job that demands an incredible amount of patience and creativity, and can be very tiring. She does all of this while training with both her husband and son for Run Club races. Plus, she knows how to have fun! She always has a big smile on her face which make everyone happy around her. I just love being around Kathy and the whole Murphy clan!
~Robin Houlahan, Run Club Coach and Stroller Strides Instructor
Where are you originally from?
I am a born and raised Northern Virginian. I grew up in Springfield, VA.
When did you join FIT4MOM?
April 2017 with Fit4Baby
What classes do you attend?
During the school year, I am a weekend warrior at River Mill Park/Potomac Mills. During the summer, I can add Stroller Barre/Stroller Strides at Potomac Mills. I also have done the last two sessions of Run Club.
Who is your workout buddy and their age?
My workout buddy is my 13 month old son, Jackson. On the weekends, my husband, Ethan, joins me for the Saturday Family classes (when he can).
What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM?
What isn't there to love about FIT4MOM?!? I get to work out with my child and have fun doing it. I get to meet other moms who are also going through very similar things. THe Mom's night outs that I have done have been a blast. Adding Run Club has allowed me to build up my stamina for running again.
How has FIT4MOM changed your lifestyle choices?
FIT4MOM has given me the chance to begin to instill a healthy lifestyle in my son. Even though he is only 13 months old, he is watching what we are doing. I want him to be healthy and active and the best way I can do that is be healthy and active myself.
What is your current job? Or what did you do before staying at home (if you don't currently work outside the home)?
For the past nine years, I was a special education teacher in Fairfax County. Next school year, I will make the move closer to home (yay, shorter commutes!) and will be a special education teacher in Prince William County.
Share your thoughts on the concept of "it takes a village" – is it important for moms to join a village?
100% yes! It is very important to be a part of a village! Having a sounding board when your child is doing something and you need advice from others is vital. There's no right answers sometimes, but knowing that others have gone through these stages and say it's going to be okay is so helpful. It's getting to meet people, who just so happen to live in your neighborhood, and become friends with them. And then it's seeing your little one begin to develop a friendship and interact with others at playgroup or after class.
What is your favorite beverage?
Have to have my coffee every day.
What is your favorite dessert?
You are given 4 hours of FREE babysitting. What would you do?
Take my husband and hop on our bikes and go out for a nice, long bike ride on the W & OD trail. We did that all the time pre-Jackson and look forward to getting out there again when Jackson is just a tad bit older.
What is your ultimate child-free vacation destination?
Germany and Ireland.
How has becoming a mother changed you?
I've definitely learned to try my hardest to separate my home from my work life (which as a teacher is REALLY hard to do). Now, since Jackson is more aware of things, he's taught me to live in the moment and enjoy the small things.
I am happiest when...my family is happy.

Check Out Behind the Scenes of Her Universe's Cinderella Inspired Dress
Ashley Eckstein, founder of Her Universe and voice of Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars, needed a one-of-a-kind dress for the Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic-Con. Disney Style has released a behind the scenes look at how Eckstein and her designer, Andrew MacLaine, created a Cinderella-inspired gown in just three days.
In the video, Ashley explains how the Her Universe fashion show came to be and she explains how the concept of dreams coming true as well as the concept of transformation came to influence this year's fashion show focus. This focus on dreams led to her focusing on a Cinderella-inspired gown. Cinderella transforming from rags to riches left a mark on Ashley, which led to her wanting to embody that transformative moment into a gown.
When the dress is unveiled to her by Andrew, she loves it. Like Cinderella, she has become transformed in a way that best embodies how dreams really do come true.
Please make sure to follow Her Universe via their website, on Facebook, Twitter, and their Youtube channel for all of the most important updates.
What do you think of the video? Did you like the dress? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Back and forth to meetings today I continue to marvel at the changes in Beijing. I have been coming once a year and sometimes twice for the past seven or eight years and in that time China has become the second largest economy in the world, witnessed the largest migration of people in the world and lifted tens of millions out of poverty. Before the Olympics it seemed as if the entire city was under construction with billions of dollars of new infrastructure and cranes by the hundreds manned by hundreds of thousands of workers. The first time here, when I walked down the main street, Chang'an it was still enough of an oddity to see a westerner that people gawked, took pictures and came up to me to welcome me to China.
How things have changed. The frenzy of the pre-Olympics has subsided, and it is as if Beijing has become comfortable with itself and its place as a global city. Fashionable pedestrians are more concerned with rushing to work or buying the latest version of a smart phone to notice the scores of westerners who are on the street. Eight years ago one had to search to find a western restaurant other than the fast food chains and on the block immediately around my hotel there are dozens of "ethnic" restaurants most of which are not Chinese.
I have had two days of blue skies, the first I have seen in my time here, indicative of much tighter regulations on large belching industries which used to be in the city. Most have been modernized and moved from the capital as it builds science and innovation parks to compete as a global leader.
No country has witnessed such rapid economic growth and mass movements of citizens. The experiment is not without huge issues and the final chapter of the book called Chinese capitalism is not yet written. It has been a huge education to witness some of the transition first hand and to be able to incorporate it into teaching of the CBU MBA.
Many hundreds of Chinese students have studied and are studying at CBU broadening their horizons and learning about our version of capitalism and society. If we could now convince Canadian students to come here to study and learn they too could help write part of the book which will be the future relationship between Canada and China.

I started this to catalog a journey. An uprooting. My move from New York City to North Carolina. And all of the hilarity that would ensue when trading city for country, kale for collards, a home of ten years for the idea of another. For love, for sweet tea. For one two-bedroom bungalow and a giant dog.
Then my mother died.
I never meant for this to be a grief blog. But here we find ourselves.
Now even more a journey. Now even more uprooted.
Only now there are more trees.
Welcome, and thank you.
Call your mother.

"Boat building, fishing, forest products, agriculture and organic farming, aquaculture, and outdoor recreation and tourism—along with expanding world class biomedical research, health and financial institutions. As a candidate for State Senate I pledge my energy, experience, and collaborative approach to advancing these businesses and non-profit organizations that influence the well being of the families and communities in Hancock County."
Koffman also noted he is committed to continuing the efforts of making health care coverage more affordable through encouraging Maine's acceptance of federal dollars to expand MaineCare health insurance to 70,000 Mainers, including 3,235 Hancock County residents. Koffman believes the impact of preventive and prenatal care goes beyond the doctor's visit and actually improves children's readiness to learn in school, and supporting a healthy workforce, while protecting families from insurmountable medical bills.
"Nearly 50% of personal bankruptcies in the U.S are caused by health care debt," said Koffman. "Health care expansion will support our local health facilities that now assume substantial financial costs when serving uninsured patients. Achieving expansion through federal funding makes common sense and works for the common good."
Koffman added, "Providing access to health care is an investment in our communities that would also generate $23 million in economic activity in the region, while creating more than 200 jobs. Without the expansion our rural health service centers are in harm's way themselves."
Koffman currently works as the Executive Director with the Maine Audubon and is retiring after five years of service. Prior to his work with the Maine Audubon, Koffman worked as an administrator with the College of the Atlantic. There Koffman created Eco-Eco (economics and ecology), an association of business, conservation, natural resource state commissioners, and civic leaders seeking collaborative solutions to shared problems.
During Koffman's service in the Maine House, he served as House Chair of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee, sponsored several successful bills to protect children from toxic ingredients in products designed for their use, protect private and public drinking water supplies, and involve manufacturers in sharing the cost of collection and recycling of electronic waste such as TVs and other equipment.
He also served as House Chair of the Right To Know Advisory Committee, which was created as a result of legislation he sponsored to increase the state's compliance with the Freedom of Access to Information Act (FOIA). The Maine Press Association honored him for his work to increase government transparency.
Koffman resides in Bar Harbor with his wife Joanna. They have four grown children, two of whom graduated from the University of Maine's flagship campus in Orono.
District 7 is a new district created after Maine's Constitutionally-mandated redistricting process. It includes the communities of Amherst, Aurora, Bar Harbor, Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Cranberry Isles, Deer Isle, Eastbrook, Ellsworth, T8SD (Fletcher's Landing), Franklin, Frenchboro, Hancock, Lamoine, Mariaville, Mt.

We live in a world that is becoming obsessed with the step-by-step guide on how to live perfectly. Follow these steps to be more productive. Learn how to achieve happiness. Make more money with this hack. Lose weight and get the body of your dreams with this simple switch. The advice comes at us in waves of blog articles, Instagram quotes, podcasts, self-help books and inspiring talks. But one thing stands out to me amongst it all – it's all about achieving the goal. That body, this deadline, that holiday and all those followers!
Now don't get me wrong, I love a good goal to work towards but this last chapter of my life has been my happiest yet, and for me it has purely come down to enjoying it more. I relish in drinking a cuppa every morning, I dedicate time to hanging with good friends, I scrape together extra coins to catch some live music, I read inspiring magazines and, most of all, I make time to dance (with no work agenda).
All of these things have become my habits. No, not habits to be more productive, more fit or more mindful – just fun habits -because I've decided it's important to become bloody good at prioritising fun shit.
At the end of day, we've been given a chance to live this beautiful phenomenon called life and so many of us forget to actually live it.
On that note, I'm off to go call my mum.
If you're keen to get some endorphins pumping through your system, take a look at our class schedule and book with us!

Back when I was poor as a churchmouse I knew where every penny went out and kissed every penny that came in like it was a long-lost friend, mostly using Quicken. But Quicken gradually became less and less the app I wanted to run and eventually I dropped it. In the '00's I kept trying to get GnuCash working but finally gave up, it always came out badly in the end. I'm trying again now, and after a day of setup it looks OK. One checking account, credit cards, retirement and I haven't done a few other small accts yet but that should be easy after what I just went through. GnuCash has gotten a lot better since the last time I tried it and the reports are nice. More importantly the various accts that you set up interact much more easily than they used to. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX. It doesn't cost a single cent to install. Another win for Open Source!

My sister, dad and I went furniture shopping with my dad. Due to the storm he had to move and start over.
All my life my parents purchased all furniture from Aaron's. Thy have payed it off and got more through the last 15 years. My dad insisted on going to Aaron's on long point dr in Houston,TX. That was by far the worse experience i had ever had.
From the time I walked in the door I didn't like the attitude the general manager had. My dad told me its OK no worries. The general manager TONY had a horrible attitude when we were picking out a mattress. Correct me if I'm wrong his job is the help us get what we looking for.
We also let that slide,there was a promotion going on and my sister had just purchased furniture form Aaron's. She asked him a question he snapped. I went on to tell him I wasn't being funny but he is rude and his customer service skills suck. I work around people in my job everyday.
The way he speak to his staff customers is not except able. we waited 3 hours to finish paper work because he was such an butt and didn't want to hear what I saying he canceled our whole application and account after he took payment. I think that was a bunch of bs being that may dad purchased furniture from there for years. Here it is one sold called general manager messed up the entire experience.
If that's who you have running your stores I don't want anything to do with it.
You need to look into who you have running your stores. I will be posting this experience on social media as well.
Product or Service Mentioned: Aarons Manager.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
Aarons Pros: Staff.
Aarons Cons: General manager, Sarcastic comments.

Business @ the Speed of Thought: Succeeding in the Digital Economy
"If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about reengineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity. About how quickly the nature of business will change…The successful companies of the next decade will be the ones that use digital tools to reinvent the way they work." — Bill Gates
His vision changed our world. But in this monumental work Bill Gates argues that the capabilities of computers, software, and networks are only beginning to be harnessed and that your company must start building a modern, digital nervous system now in order to compete quickly and intuitively in the new millennium.
In Business @The Speed of Thought, Gates, one of the worlds most successful, strategically-thinking CEOs explains how to turn your hardware and software into a powerful, evolving network of information by looking at the digital systems in place at Microsoft and other leading corporations. Gates shows how your company can:
- Convert every paper process to a digital process – and end information bottlenecks
- Use networks to create fast-reacting virtual teams to work together among traditional departments
- Decrease cycle time by using digital transactions with suppliers and partners to get products out before the competition
- Knock down the walls of your company, and electronically build new business relationships and new markets
Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done (Hardcover)
When Execution was first published in 2002, it changed the way we did our jobs. By analysing the discipline of getting things done, it helped thousands of business people to make the final leap to success. Now, Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan reframe their empowering message for a world in which the old rules have been shattered and radical change is becoming routine. For the foreseeable future:
– Growth will be slower. But the company that executes well will have the confidence, speed and resources to move fast as new opportunities emerge.
– Competition will be fiercer, with companies searching for any possible advantage in every area.
– Governments will take on new roles in their national economies. And companies that execute well will be more attractive as partners and suppliers, and better prepared to adapt to new waves of regulation.
– Risk management will become a top priority for every leader, and every company will be looking for the edge in detecting new internal and external threats.
Forget formulating a 'vision', then leaving others to carry it out: Execution shows you how to link together people, strategy and operations – the three core elements of every organisation – and create a business based on dialogue, intellectual honesty and realism. With case histories from the real world – including such recent examples such as the diverging paths taken by Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan Chase and Charles Prince at Citigroup – Execution provides the realistic and hard-nosed approach to business success that could only come from authors as accomplished and insightful as Bossidy and Charan.₵120.00
Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…and Others Don't
To find the keys to greatness, Collins's 21-person research team read and coded 6,000 articles, generated more than 2,000 pages of interview transcripts and created 384 megabytes of computer data in a five-year project. The findings will surprise many readers and, quite frankly, upset others.
The Challenge:
Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.
But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?
The Study:
For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?
The Standards:
Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.
The Comparisons:
The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?
Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness — why some companies make the leap and others don't.
The Findings:
The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:
- Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness.
- The Hedgehog Concept: (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence.
- A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology.
- The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap.
"Some of the key concepts discerned in the study," comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people."
Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?₵60.00

How The Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In – Hardcover
Decline can be avoided.
Decline can be detected.
Decline can be reversed.
Amidst the desolate landscape of fallen great companies, Jim Collins began to wonder: How do the mighty fall? Can decline be detected early and avoided? How far can a company fall before the path toward doom becomes inevitable and unshakable? How can companies reverse course?
In How the Mighty Fall, Collins confronts these questions, offering leaders the well-founded hope that they can learn how to stave off decline and, if they find themselves falling, reverse their course. Collins' research project—more than four years in duration—uncovered five step-wise stages of decline:
Stage 1: Hubris Born of Success
Stage 2: Undisciplined Pursuit of More
Stage 3: Denial of Risk and Peril
Stage 4: Grasping for Salvation
Stage 5: Capitulation to Irrelevance or Death
By understanding these stages of decline, leaders can substantially reduce their chances of falling all the way to the bottom.
Great companies can stumble, badly, and recover.
Every institution, no matter how great, is vulnerable to decline. There is no law of nature that the most powerful will inevitably remain at the top. Anyone can fall and most eventually do. But, as Collins' research emphasizes, some companies do indeed recover—in some cases, coming back even stronger—even after having crashed into the depths of Stage 4.
Decline, it turns out, is largely self-inflicted, and the path to recovery lies largely within our own hands. We are not imprisoned by our circumstances, our history, or even our staggering defeats along the way. As long as we never get entirely knocked out of the game, hope always remains. The mighty can fall, but they can often rise again.₵70.00

Beautiful beaded hoop earrings with subtle earth tones.

Opting to be a Consultant gives the Privilege of claiming
Many Deductions not available from Employee Remuneration!
Anand Roy is offered a marketing work assignment by a company with an annual package of Rs.8,80,000 during FY 2010-11 and he is given the choice to either join the company as an employee or offer his services as a consultant. Weighing the income-tax implications in respect of the same, he is wondering what should be his best choice.
If Anand decides to accept the status of an employee, he needs to be aware of the fact that he would have a comparatively limited choice of exemptions that he can claim from his taxable salary income of Rs.8,80,000. These could possibly be structured in the form of Transport Allowance of Rs.9,600, Children's Education Allowance of Rs.2,400, Reimbursement of Medical Expenses of Rs.15,000, Attire Allowance of Rs.18,000 and Food Coupons for a value of Rs.15,000, in all amounting to Rs.60,000. This would still leave his taxable salary at Rs.8,20,000 and even after deducting Rs.1,20,000 as the eligible deduction under Section 80C and 80CCF, income-tax of Rs.76,220 would be deducted at source by his employer on his Total Income of Rs.7,00,000.
However, if Anand goes for the choice of becoming a consultant to the company and accepts the consideration of Rs.8,80,000 as professional fees, he would enjoy distinct tax advantages as explained hereinafter.

Laser Skin Tightening
Laser skin tightening uses laser light to promote collagen formation, resulting in firmer and more youthful skin. The light energy is converted into heat in the dermis, the deeper layer of skin. The body's immune system responds by forming new collagen.
Before and After Laser Skin Tightening
The YAG laser reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. Laser skin tightening is an effective and minimally invasive treatment with no down time. Results are seen within weeks to months as new collagen forms and results in firmer and more supple skin.
This laser treatment can be combined with other skin rejuvenation procedures, such as chemical peels, dermal fillers, Botox, and Fractional Skin Resurfacing with the CO2 laser.
At Medical Day Spa of Chapel Hill, there are three registered nurses who are certified in using the Candela GentleYAG laser. They perform treatments under the supervision of our medical director, Dr. Gary Berger. Not all med-spas offering laser treatments restrict the use of laser to doctors or nurses. At Medical Day Spa of Chapel Hill, our focus is on patient safety. This is one of the reasons we are the only 5-star rated MedSpa in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill on Google.
If you have wrinkled, loose or sagging skin, you will benefit from laser skin tightening. At Medical Day Spa of Chapel Hill, we customize our various skin treatments to best suit each individual. Our skin rejuvenation treatments are provided in the safest medical environment available.

By ED PETRUSKA Contributing Writer Pinal Central
SIGNAL PEAK — The last seven minutes of Wednesday night's game were not very pleasant for the Central Arizona College men's basketball team.
Ahead 39-32 at halftime and 61-60 with 7:24 remaining, the Vaqueros could not hold off Pima at the George Young Activity Center. The Aztecs, ranked No. 8 in the NJCAA Division II poll, closed with a methodical 19-7 run to come away with an 84-70 victory.
"We definitely let them off the hook," CAC coach Tramaine Aaron said. "Obviously Pima is a good team. But we gave them too many second chances in the second half."
The Aztecs (25-3, 17-3 Arizona Community College Athletic Conference) scored 12 second-chance points in the last seven minutes, starting with Isaiah Murphy's 3-pointer that put them ahead to stay at 63-61.
Pima extended the lead to seven points before Vaqueros (11-16, 7-13 ACCAC) pulled within 70-67 on two free throws by Lonyae Jones with 4:12 remaining. The Aztecs finished with a 14-3 run to secure the win.
"We looked tired and were stagnant on offense" down the stretch, Aaron said.
Pima prevailed by 46 points (128-82) when the teams met on Jan. 13, handing CAC its worst loss of the season. Although the Vaqueros were much more competitive on Wednesday night, they couldn't sustain their first-half success.
"In the second half, we took shots that weren't bad but we took them too early," Aaron said. "That allowed Pima to get out and run, play their game."
Andrew Leonard had 11 points in each half to lead the Vaqueros with 22 points. Danny Garrick hit three 3-pointers and finished with 11 points.
Garrick's 3 gave Central its last seven-point lead at 51-44 with 12:28 remaining.
Murphy made five 3-pointers and led all scorers with 31 points, his season high. Alize Travis had 18 points and Justin Bessard scored 12 for the Aztecs.
Pima has surpassed 100 points 17 times this season and came in averaging an ACCAC-best 105.8.
Central is battling Eastern Arizona for the fourth and final berth in the Division I Region 1 tournament. The Gila Monsters, who play at CAC on Saturday, had a 7-12 conference mark going into Wednesday's game against Chandler-Gilbert.
The Vaqueros close the regular season on Tuesday at South Mountain (17-10, 10-9 ACCAC). Eastern finishes at home against Glendale (8-19, 2-17).

text: Hi there. It's Gabe Katona. I am so excited you dropped by to check out my new album, Jubilation. Do you remember dancing to a new album in your parent's living room with your friends when you were a kid? It was a new album you just got at the record store and couldn't wait to get home to put it on your record player and groove out to the music. Do you remember the days when your favorite band played at sport's nights at your high school gym? What about the nights when you went dancing at your favorite Rock or Soul R&B clubs? Those were the days of great music. That is exactly the music I grew up on. I loved everything from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones to James Brown and Wilson Pickett. I even liked Johnny Cash too. I played keys, sax and sang in all these bands live in Los Angeles that played Rock and Soul R&B music. Everything was live. We all had a great time. I bet you might remember something like this too. Now when you are stuck in a traffic jam late for work. Or you have to get all your gotta dos done before you get home from your job. You need a break from your routine. You need to turn up some great music to soothe your soul, rock you out and make you feel good. That is the music on this Jubilation album. It is music that will make you feel good, help you get away and makes you want to move to the music and maybe even dance. That is what Jubilation is all about. I hope you get my album. Please let me know what you think. You can be sure I read all my emails and comments even if I can't get back to you. Enjoy!

Health, Safety and Welfare regulations state that a minimum number of toilet/wash basin facilities must be provided according to the number of employees in the workplace. More information on these requirements can be found at http://www.hse.gov.uk/contact/faqs/toilets.htm portable toilets are ideal for on site provision where toilet facilities are otherwise lacking. They're also great as a mobile solution for toilet facilities at large public outdoor events.
Single, double, or the full worksContainers Direct have a selection of portable toilets for sale, ranging from a single toilet cubicle to a fully equipped 20ft toilet and shower block. All options are portable, although many are also suitable as a long term outdoor fixture, for instance on camp sites and at visitor attractions.
Choose from three main categories of toilet:
- Chemical - does not require a water supply, as waste is hygienically dealt with by using re-circulating chemicals, delivered by means of a hand or foot pump.
- Mains drainage connected - water flushable and connected to main waste disposal drain
- Ecological, dry composting toilet - requires no chemicals or water, but uses dry composting, aerobic techniques to breakdown waste
Chemical toiletsThe only option for sites without mains services. They are light and practical for frequent relocation and therefore ideal for construction sites and outdoor events. Hygienic and practical, the cubicle walls are overlapping, smooth surfaced, for easy cleaning. A hand pump for chemical flushing is standard, but a foot pump can be fitted as an optional extra. Hand sanitiser ensures hands are germ free after use. See PC15, for an example of our basic chemical toilet, or PC17 for our chemical toilet that complies with Health and Safety regulations required on all fixed construction, with the inclusion of a mains connected hot water sink.
Mains drainage connectedUsing fresh water instead of chemicals, these portable toilets are manufactured from steel sheets, have walls insulated with PU foam (for heat retention and sound insulation), and an aluminium checker plate floor. Quick to assemble on site and easy to relocate, these units come fully equipped and ready to use, with standard features such as electrics, hand wash basin and boiler.
Starting with a single 5ft unit, a range of sizes up to 20ft are available, which can be fitted out to order in various combinations of male and female cubicles, disability toilets, urinals and shower rooms.

No, I am not pregnant. My big news is that I have been invited to be a contributor for a website called ShePosts. It is a site that focuses on online women's publishing, following the trends, events and people within that space. ShePosts was purchased last year by one of my favorite bloggers, Kristen Howerton from Rage Against the Minivan, and Deb Rox. They are working hard at revamping the site and brining on additional writers, like me!
This is a different style of writing than I am used to, more journalistic. But it will be good for me to expand my writing skills and will prove useful as I write my first book about Jack's eating challenges. This will also help me extend my reach and continue to build my network of followers.
On Monday my first post was published covering Ryan Gosling memes. Memes are social ideas that are copied by many different people, some actually going viral. In this case the memes include photos of Ryan Gosling and have funny phrases added to them. They all begin with the phrase "Hey Girl." The crux of the story was that a new meme focusing on Ryan Gosling's love of mom bloggers had been created.
I hope that you all will follow my work on ShePosts as well and as always, I appreciate your readership.

Unless you've been under a rock or on a boat in the middle of the ocean1, you're aware that the United States is in the middle of a measles outbreak that has, so far, infected over 100 people, and was traced back to December Disneyland visits.

We're heading in to mid-November, and while the very disturbing logistics/supply chain chart showing that some personal protective equipment stock in countries battling Ebola are at "zero"–and had been for a while–have improved, the Ebola outbreak is still racing through Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Sadly, the outbreak also appears to be gaining a small foothold in Mali.
...and probably not for the reason you think. Outbreak is one of those movies people seem to either love or hate (or possibly love to hate); almost everyone I know who has anything to do with public health, infectious diseases, or virology tends to swear up a blue storm when the movie comes up.
The WHO medical ethics panel convened Monday to discuss the ethics of using experimental treatments for Ebola in West African nations affected by the disease. I am relieved to note that this morning they released their unanimous recommendation: "it is ethical to offer unproven interventions with as yet unknown efficacy and adverse effects, as potential treatment or prevention."
The World Health Organization has released a statement (in full, bottom of blog post) that they are going to convene, early next week, a panel of medical ethicists to "explore the use of experimental treatment in the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa." The statement goes on to say that "the recent treatment of two health workers from Samaritan's Purse with experimental medicine has raised questions about whether medicine that has never been tested and shown to be safe in people should be used in the outbreak."
A lot of interesting testimony came out of yesterday's House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee hearing, which was titled "Review of CDC Anthrax Lab Incident," but broadly covered the numerous slapstick-'cept-it-ain't-funny errors around dangerous pathogens research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It's not exactly been what one would call a banner month for the National Institutes of Health or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the last week and change, it's been revealed that oops, the CDC completely screwed up how it handles anthrax and possibly exposed 86-odd people to anthrax and they accidentally shipped out H9N2 that had been contaminated with H5N1.
As expected, the last case ruled on before the Supreme Court of the United States adjourned until October was the Hobby Lobby/Conestoga case. For those unaware, this case is based on the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate, classifying contraceptives as preventive healthcare required under all insurance plans without a co-pay. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood both objected to this, saying that covering some forms of birth control, like the IUD/IUS or Plan B, violated their religious beliefs by requiring them to fund abortive medi...
What is a digital trail? How can all your blog posts, photos, opinions, articles, and news affect your personal, professional and academic life?

I've talked before about trust as a limiting factor, and the steps to take to repair trust. But I haven't actually spelled out an important first step to that, which is the apology. And, as you might know, today Nature apologized for a piece of correspondence published earlier this week that has people slightly irritated (see list, end of post).
