Evolving HCM Solutions And Opportunities For Retailers
Human capital management (HCM) solutions offer retailers the unique ability to increase productivity and customer service at the same time.
Sustainable Retailing Today: 2012 Green Retailing Report For today's retailer, sustainable retailing means encompassing supplier management, brand management, the customer experience — and the bottom line. Sustainability is an overarching concept that is changing the way business is done. In fact, sustainability is touching all aspects of business including packing, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution. Until recently, however, sustainable retailing had been restricted to environmental issues and planet stewardship. While environmental impact and planet stewardship are important issues, the lifeblood of retail is profit. The hurdle for many retailers is finding buy-in for something that may give you a warm feeling but may not move the needle as it relates to sales and marketing. However, a growing number of retailers are seeing the opportunities for increased profits and cash flows via sustainable retailing. Today, sustainable retailing goes beyond green packaging and carbon footprint reduction, encompassing supplier management, brand management, and even customer experience. Today's green retail movement must also move the bottom line. |
Tech Spending 2013: Mobile Makes Its Mark From assortment planning to returns management and all points between, mobile devices are fast becoming the retailer's indispensable multi-tool. Yes, mobile computing is a recurring theme in findings from this year's retail tech spending report. This, however, is not another report about mobility. Rather, it's a report on the technologies and operations solutions in which retailers will invest in 2013, with some retrospective commentary on the 2012 events that are driving these investment decisions. It just so happens that for the first time since we began our annual tech spending preview in 2009, mobile devices and mobile application access are playing a profound and cross-disciplinary role in how retail technology and solution budgets are being shaped. We'll highlight that role as we explore the findings of our annual retail technology spending survey here. |
WFM: The Dynamic Bread And Butter Of Holistic HCM
This is part three of our four-part series exploring how retail organizations can embrace HCM technology and HCM best-practices to become more strategic. The benefits of doing so are many: Organizations reduce their high turnover rates, improve the employee experience and add efficiencies to the human resource department's workflow directly into daily operations in the store and across the organization, freeing staff to focus on higher-level activities and to be more proactive in their work.

1. | MANship | ||
Domination, success, brilliance, prosperity The MANship of men dominate life
2. | Manship | ||
n. A character trait resulting from a blend of machismo, non-excessive masculinity, courage, and toughness. Manship represents the good side of manliness; a sort of bravery without braggadocio. Often contracted to "'ship" The wide receiver showed some serious manship going up to make the catch and holding on to the ball despite taking a hit.
(Above sentence only applies if said receiver doesn't celebrate.) |
3. | MANship | ||
The graceful art of adding the letters M A and N to the end of your name, eg arnieMAN. Shows strength in ones character, and shows you are proud of your beautiful self. Also of berating unworthy people, by adding fag to the end of their name eg. johnman, trentman, kaneman belong to the MANship.
eg. arnieman is the leader of the MANship. eg. the MANship dominates eg. joshfag is unworthy of MANship |
4. | manship | ||
A bond between two heterosexual males who understand each others' emotional and sexual needs. Is Greg your close friend? Oh yah, we have a manship together.
My girlfriend doesn't understand me, only Alex gets me. We have more than a friendship, it's a manship. My manship -- my hetro male soulmate! |
5. | manship | ||
One worthy of contempt or ridicule. Generally associated with someone who whilst remaining essentially harmless - and often even likeable - makes a complete tosspot of themselves due to utterly inappropriate behaviour or poorly judged fashion statements. Many manships can be found in karaoke bars. One driving a vauxhall corsa with an oversize exhaust and dubiously executed modifications intended to make it look more like a fighter jet than a shit car is almost certainly a weapons grade manship.
Also as an expression of fatigue, or disability due to drug or alcohol abuse. Descriptive of one wasting time or bungling aimlesssly. Predictably, also loosely interchangeable with the verb fuck. Plural manships, verb to manship Why have you come to my grandmother's funeral in a crushed velvet suit; nay - a purple crushed velvet suit, you fucking manship?
Ye gods I'm manshipped. Take me home at once, driver. What's that odd chap in the salopettes doing yonder? OH I don't know, just manshipping around I suspect. She was a lovely girl, but her flaps were like a meaty windsock so I manshipped her in the ass and sent her home in the Rolls. |

Finding large-scale sources of kinetic energy to turn turbines isn't easy. But while there are only so many roaring rivers and flat, windy plains from which to harvest nature's natural motions, there's no shortage of tiny, random vibrations all around us. Now researchers at the University of Michigan have developed mini-generators that harness these.
Miniature kinetic generators aren't new; for instance, many wristwatches are powered by energy gathered from the rhythmic swinging of our arms when we walk. Some piezoelectric generators have even been integrated into fabrics, meaning that your jacket could someday top off your cell phone battery or iPod, provided you move around enough.
But many of these approaches require pronounced movements to harness any real degree of energy. The new Parametric Frequency Increased Generators from the U of M team have a huge advantage over other kinetic energy harvesters because they can scavenge the arbitrary, ambient, non-repeatable vibrations that are far more common in the world around us.For instance, the vibrations caused by traffic passing over a bridge could power wireless structural sensors on the underside of the structure, and everything from lampposts to skyscrapers could harness energy from wind vibrations to power -- at least partially -- their day-to-day operations. Placed in stairwells, the generators could harness the kinetic energy of climbing to power the emergency lighting, and on electric cars they could feed some of the energy lost through engine rattle back into the energy loop. They could even be used to power sensors in far flung, off-the-grid locales, like fire-detecting sensors deep within forests.
The human body is also a great potential energy source for these kinds of micro-generators. Typical amplitudes found on the human body can produce 500 microwatts, enough to run dozens of wristwatches or ten pacemakers, opening the door to better, more energy intensive medical devices that don't require periodic surgical battery swaps. Which, as anyone with a pacemaker will tell you, is a good thing.
Of course, the technology has a ways to go before it is deployed -- there are only three prototypes in existence right now, with a fourth on the way. But the future of self-sustaining little electronic monitors looks quite busy as we rely more and more on sensor driven data to monitor everything from our infrastructure to our bodies. Being able to unplug from the grid/battery paradigm and harvest energy locally is a big part of that equation.
ive had an idea about electricity from sound waves vibration
i guess this very neatly fits the description.
when you can't sleep, some weird things come to your mind...
and so, it came to me. is it possible to create such material that will change magnetic state by it self, with no other influence around it? than, you place this "fantasy" material inside of the wire coil and you have "free" energy...
when you can't sleep, some weird things come to your mind...
and so, it came to me. is it possible to create a flux capacitor? than, you place this "fantasy" object inside a DeLorean and you have a way to travel in time...
Come on, I think of stuff when I am falling asleep too but I don't post in online.
Let's keep perspective: this is a replacement technology for... 9v, AA and AAA batteries. Not hydrodams.
Wow, this is truly amazing.
The uses for this could be endless. Our roads and bridges could be lighted by the passing cars, perhaps waling on the floors of our homes could power led lights. Maybe we could power or at least partially power self-sustaining robotics.
If you attached this to a device that vibrates, would you have a perpetual energy machine?

Ahh I cold use one of these in my video game controller. Much better than having to plug the cord in to recharge, that my cat seems to like to attack every time it is strectched across the room.
extremechiton, by any chance, are you talking about a microphone?
@Dontcallmechief. i think you've solved the worlds energy crisis. You've discovered perpetual motion.
If this device can be made small and numerous enough, perhaps by being slit into a comb, it should be able to draw electrical energy straight from the Brownian Motion in liquids, thus defeating the Second Law of Thermodynamics. In a closed system, you'd have Perpetual Motion, or a steady supply of current from normal ambient temperatures.
Bob Stuart
this would not defeat the 2nd law. It would not create perpetual motion. The point of these devices is to get to the point that you describe - where even Brownian motion can be an energy source for human-designed systems.
However you appear to forget (or not know) the same part of the 2nd law that all the creationists forget (or don't know): The second law applies to *closed systems*.
You can use this device to gain energy & collect it in a battery for later use in a human endeavor, but it doesn't collect energy from *itself* - it collects energy from fluids (not liquids) outside itself.
these fluids would still not provide the endless energy you seek, however. If they are isolated (closed) systems of relating molecules. Brownian motion is a function of temperature. It can proceed for such long times in part because the collisions between atoms are fantastically elastic. But it is not eternal, and temperature is just a measure of average energy at the macro scale. If this device harvests energy from the collisions, they will no longer be elastic. Instead, the molecular kinetic energy declines in proportion to the inelasticity of the collision. The energy device harvests a proportion - 50%??? - of what is not returned in kinetic energy. This is the efficiency of the device, and it is always less than 100% (preserving the 2nd law).
If you are really lucky, the inefficiency losses are emitted as heat and re-absorbed by the atoms of the powering fluid. This can get the system close to 100% net efficiency, but never exactly to 100% and certainly not over.
The amount gathered by the device plus the inefficiency losses that are not returned to the fluid is the amount of energy lost from the fluid per unit of energy gained by the device. These are small amounts at any given moment, but over time, the fluid is chilled down near absolute zero and well below the ability of the fluid to stay, well, fluid. As a solid, the device will be dramatically less efficient, but will still remove energy, pushing the substance closer and closer to zero.
This means the supply of energy isn't "steady" or from "ambient temperatures." It comes from the energy of a specific set of atoms and declines over time.
Now, if we open the system up, we can assume that it gains energy from the things around it, like air, which are heated by (primarily) the sun, the earth (to some extent) extra-terrestrial matter (to a trivial extent) and extra-terrestrial energy (to a ridiculously trivial extent). But the energy here is no longer coming from the fluid in an infinite way normally understood as perpetual motion. The energy here is fusion 93 million miles away and energy of sub-terranean fission & gravitational compaction (which increases heat energy through friction & other means) as well as a few ergs here & there from meteors heating air as the fall, etc. This heat is eventually communicated to the fluid you are using, if it is below the average temperature for the nearby matter.
None of these processes violate laws of thermodynamics. Indeed, they are predicted by them, or at least described by them, since the processes came first.
Hope this helps.
It's almost easier to think of places where maybe this technology *couldn't* be used, at least not efficiently, than it is to think of real possibilities: power and telephone lines, plus their support towers, wind turbines and their towers, buildings, especially larger and taller ones, every imaginable sort of vehicle (land, water, air), escalators and moving sidewalks, even attached to a dish or clothes washer.
Assuming, that is -- with knowledge that to assume is to tread into a minefield -- the energy return is worth the investment of money, resources, and time.
I'm not postulating perpetual motion from a closed source. In a perfectly insulated box, one could run a tuning fork from energy drawn from the brownian motion. That covers the "motion" definition, without wasting energy in the gradual breakdown of bearings, etc. All the energy that goes into the circuit and motion winds up as heat again, because nothing gets out and that is the lowest form of energy. So, the fork keeps humming, and can be checked with an energy-neutral sampling method. The "perfectly insulated box" would have to be in a perfectly controlled environment, so you'd have a net loss, except for the demonstration.
If this works, it would be the 1st example I've heard of where higher forms of energy can come from heat without using a difference in temperature and runing into the Carnot limit. It would also work even in very motionless envinronments, as long as they conduct heat. If it is cheap to scale up, your air conditioner could run your electric meter backwards.
Bob Stuart
Another great article, I found the information in regards to the human body fascinating, we need to create a device so we can charge our phones or mp3 players on the go! :-)

Unprecedented Partnership Between Department of Defense and National Endowment for the Arts Sends Shakespeare to American Military BasesCongress overwhelmingly approves '04 Defense Appropriations bill with $1 million for Arts Endowment to bring Shakespeare to military families October 2, 2003
Washington, D.C. - In an unprecedented effort to reach millions of American military personnel and their families, the National Endowment for the Arts is partnering with the Department of Defense to bring its national theatrical tour, Shakespeare in American Communities to military bases. With passage by Congress of the FY 2004 Department of Defense Appropriations bill, comes $1 million for the National Endowment for the Arts to fund a professional tour of Shakespeare theater to U.S. military bases. "We currently have the best trained and best educated military in the history of the United States," said Dana Gioia, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. "If we are truly going to fulfill our charge of bringing art of indisputable excellence to all Americans, we have to reach into communities where we've never gone before. I think it's safe to say that the National Endowment for the Arts and the Department of Defense have never before been mentioned in the same sentence. We're delighted to make cultural history." Shakespeare in American Communities is a nationwide tour of professional, live theatrical productions of William Shakespeare's plays, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with the Sallie Mae Fund of The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region and with Arts Midwest. The tour, which was launched September 20, 2003 in New London, Connecticut, brings high quality, professional theater productions of Shakespeare - and related educational activities - to Americans throughout the country. The tour will visit more than 100 small and mid-size communities in all 50 states. It is the largest tour of Shakespeare in American history. "From the beginning of this project, we envisioned including military bases," Gioia added. "We went to the Pentagon and to Congress with the idea and were met with enthusiasm and excitement. Senator Ted Stevens fully embraced the idea and we're deeply appreciative of his support." Shakespeare in American Communities comprises six - soon to be seven - theater companies touring four plays. The seventh will now be added, charged primarily with touring military bases. All the companies selected are exemplary, professional, not-for-profit groups with substantial touring experience.
Alabama Shakespeare Festival will now join the tour, bringing Macbeth to military bases in the United States. The National Endowment for the Arts currently is working with the Department of Defense to select the specific bases. "This is the beginning of what I believe will be a successful partnership," said Gioia, who is working with the Defense Department on additional artistic pursuits to benefit our military men and women. "Stay tuned! There's more good news to come." For more information, contact the NEA Office of Communications at 202-682-5570. Return to Index National Endowment for the Arts · an independent federal

The confidential testing will take place Saturday at the Women of WORTH clinic, 1513 Dean St., from noon to 5 p.m.
Women of WORTH will also offer free urine-based testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea. No appointment is need. For more information call the AIDS Resource Council at 706-290-9098 or Women of WORTH at 706-232-3408.
AIDS Resource Council board member Frank Tant said the event will promote awareness.
"HIV and AIDS is the leading medical cause of death for women ages 14-44 (worldwide)…'" he said. "But you can protect your partners and loved ones by not putting them in jeopardy if you learn proper protection methods to not spread the disease. Unfortunately, heterosexual women of color are the fastest-growing population of newly HIV positive people in Georgia."

Over the years, restaurant users have become more discerning and more concerned with the 'authenticity' of their restaurant experience, a number of restaurant trends have emerged that offer a more realistic reflection of the food from its country of origin.
For the last couple of decades, far eastern food from various countries has increased in popularity, with many towns now having a Thai restaurant and perhaps even a Japanese restaurant. There has even been a trend for seeing authentic Thai food served on pub menus as Thai families take over pub tenancies or simply run the kitchen.
Japanese food has been a huge foodie trend in the UK, with most supermarkets selling packs of sushi alongside their sandwiches – although if that's the only sushi you've tried (especially as the packs from a certain high end supermarket do not contain fish!) then you'll be amazed at the difference in quality and taste when you first try 'proper' sushi. After all, sushi chefs train for seven years just to master making rice, let alone cutting fish!
The latest restaurant trends are towards South American food. Not just the big, juicy steaks from Argentina – that is SO 2007 – but more the smoked chipotle chile flavours of Peru. Mexico has also been a source of inspiration for a lot of newly opened places, with authentic burritos and salsas showing the wealth of difference between regional cuisine and the 'Tex-Mex' style that was popular in the 1999.
Rogan josh is another all time favourite on the curry house menu. It was originally a Kashmiri dish but is equally at home in the Punjab. An authentic rogan josh will be made with lamb and may, at its most elaborate, contain dozens of spices. The Kashmiri and Punjabi versions do differ (the Kashmiri does not traditionally contain onions or garlic) but they are both highly spiced and share a deep red colour derived from the liberal use of dried red Kashmiri chillies. The curry house rogan is also red but the colour comes from red peppers and tomatoes rather than Kashmiri chillies. The restaurant rogan is characterised by its garnish of tomato pieces and fresh coriander. It is usually medium hot.
Saag gosht is a classic curry traditionally made with spinach and lamb. Saag is, strictly speaking, a general term for tender green leaves such as spinach, mustard greens and fresh fenugreek leaves. If you were talking about spinach on its own it would be called palak. Many restaurants these days will offer a chicken or a prawn alternative to lamb and so the dish will show on the menu as just "saag" or "palak" omitting the gosht (lamb) from the name altogether. The saag is usually served medium hot and is made in the bhuna style.
Derived from a court dish of the Moghul emperors the pasanda is traditionally made with thinly sliced and marinated lamb fillets. It is sometimes called lamb badam pasanda because the dish contains ground almonds, the "badam" of the title. The restaurant pasanda is usually quite mild and contains ground almonds, cardamon pods, puréed tomatoes and cream.
Like it's more famous cousin, dhansak, patia is a Parsee dish. A traditional Parsee patia is made with fish cooked in a dark vinegar sauce. The restaurant patia is hot, sweet and sour in equal measure. The restaurant patia grew popular as a starter using prawns ( shrimps) as the main ingredient. Many restaurants now offer the patia as a main course as well and give you the choice of a prawn, chicken or lamb version. It is usually garnished with fried tomato pieces.
Red onions, sometimes called purple onions, are cultivars of the onion with purplish red skin and white flesh tinged with red.
These onions tend to be medium to large in size and have a mild to sweet flavor. They are often consumed raw, grilled or lightly cooked with other foods, or added as color to salads. They tend to lose their redness when cooked.
Red onions are available throughout the year. The red color comes from anthocyanidins such as cyanidin. Red onions are high in flavonoids.They can be stored 3 to 4 months at room temperature.
The red onion from Turda (Cluj County, Central Romania) is a local variety of red onion with light sweeter taste and particular aroma. The area of cultivation encompass the lower Arieş valley and the middle Mureş valley. Turda onion bulbs are traditionally intertwined into long strings (1–2 m) for marketing purposes and can be found at the traditional markets all over central Romania. "Turda Red Onion" is usually served fresh, as a salad or part of mixed salads and especially as a compulsory garnish for the traditional bean-and-smoked ham soups. Red onions are sometimes used as treatments for colds, diarrhea, intestinal parasites, gallstones, and rheumatism.
The red onion from Tropea, Italy, (Italian: "Cipolla Rossa di Tropea") is a particular variety of red onion which grows in a small area of Calabria in southern Italy named "Capo Vaticano" near the city of Tropea. This onion has a stronger and sweeter aroma and the inner part is juicier and whiter than other red onions and it is possible to make a marmalade with it. In March 2008, the European Union registered the Protected Designation of Origin mark for the onions produced in this particular area.

I went to a walk-in clinc for my son because my pediactrician wasnt available. He was just about 5 weeks old, when he started being fussy. They said that he is colic, but they weren't definite about it. Their exact words were, "Well it's not acid reflux which is good, but it seems theres some colic there.." What does do for me?! I am 17 years old, with no idea how to help my poor son, I don't have the money to go buy special things for him.
He is now going on 8 weeks and cries when there isn't a bottle in his mouth. I tried the pacifier but he won't take it because he just always thinks he's hungry. Does this sound like colic or is regular formula not fulfilling enough. I want a MOM'S opinion.

STEVENSON RANCH - A recently released inmate who had done time for theft was back behind bars today after he was spotted in a Walmart parking lot in Stevenson Ranch wearing stolen blue jail-issued pants. | » POLICE NEWS
A deputy saw Marcus Garcia, 22, of Saugus, running through the store parking lot at 25450 The Old Road around 3:40 p.m. Tuesday, said Lt. Eric Lasko of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Santa Clarita Station. The deputy suspected that Garcia had escaped from the nearby Pitchess Detention Center, so he followed him while calling 911, Lasko said.
A Los Angeles County custody assistant also spotted Garcia from another part of the parking lot and also called 911, he said.
Deputies rushed to the scene and detained Garcia at gunpoint after seeing him run toward an apartment complex, Lasko said. Once he was in custody, they determined he was not an escapee but had gotten out of jail the day before after serving 180 days for felony petty theft with priors and had stolen the inmate jumpsuit pants while being released, he said.
Garcia was booked at the Santa Clarita Station Tuesday on suspicion of possession of stolen property and remained jailed in lieu of $20,000 bail, he said.
The Pitchess Detention Center went on lockdown during the pursuit of Garcia until it was determined he was not an escapee, Lasko said.

Here's and stock/price update from Ken:
Super Neo Candy 29 $950
Neo Candy 25 $750.00
Blast City 950.00
Net City $1100.00
New Net City $1250.00
Cyberlead $800.00
I have a few Astro City $650.00
And one Madonna cabinet $750.00
Lindberg $2800
Paraphrase from our conversations:
-The truck will make one stop, near me in the Philly burbs. This is the only way we'll get a shipping discount, as more stops = more $.
-Shipping cost should be under $200/cab for orders over 6 cabs.
-He said has a waiting list 20 people long for Egret 2's, so that's no going to be part of this group buy.
-He most likely cannot get Capcom Impress. He doesn't have any currently, and isn't expecting any.
-He has lots of Blast City's in good shape.
-He gets his stuff from Sega in Japan, so you're much more liely to end up with a Sega cab in this group buy.
-He can get the New Astro City cabinets but mostly they are getting pretty old and not in very good condition.
-Almost every cabinet over 10 years old is going to have some burn in. If you get New Net City cabinets the chance of burn in is very low.
-He should be able to take pix and tag machines for individual buyers as long as we have our shit together, so to speak. He has to pull cabs from the warehouse to do this, so we'd need to minimize the number of trips he'd make to do this.
I'll have info about payments and other outstanding issues after we decide actual models and quantities per buyer.
Updated want list:
Daskrabs (Blast City)
VanillaThunder (at least 1)
Mugicha (2 astro, or 2 new astro)
Kidpanda (2 NAC)
Yzrider926 (impress only)
Ash Burton
Also, he has Astro City and NAC... you mentioned that the NAC's are in rough shape.. does this also apply to the AC?

The border is an expensive barrier, new study concludes
Barbara Yaffe
<a href=http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/columnists/story.html?id=893a1a6b-2c96-464d-8049-eca34d3e9dfa>Vancouver Sun </a>
Thursday, June 14, 2007
The Canada-U.S. border is not our friend. That's the conclusion of a new Fraser Institute study written by author and Simon Fraser University political scientist Alexander Moens.
Canadian nationalists traditionally argue that the border is our last defence against cultural and economic absorption by the all-powerful, politically domineering U.S.A.
But Moens presents a different, more pragmatic perspective, which has resonance in view of the panic associated with long waits for passports to enable Canadians to keep flying freely to their favourite destination.
Moens uses facts and figures to make a case that "there is growing concern and partial evidence that border costs are too high and that the border in effect is turning into a growing barrier to trade."
The 32-page study, titled Canadian-American Relations in 2007, Recent Trouble, Current Hope, and Future Work, points out how dependent we are for economic survival on that border.
According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, roughly 52 per cent of Canada's entire 2006 gross domestic product was attributable in some form to the $709 billion in trade we did with the U.S.
Since the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed in 1989, commerce between the two countries has grown by 120 per cent.
The best news is that we have an enormous trade surplus with the U.S. that buffers us from ill effects of the large trade deficit we run with the rest of the world.
Indeed, Canada has a $50-billion trade deficit globally but comes out fine because of the $100-billion trade surplus we enjoy with the U.S. Americans buy just shy of 80 per cent of everything we export.
Clearly, "Canada has an enormous stake in the free flow of trade and investment to and from the U.S."
The border is an impediment in this regard. It imposes costs in terms of brokerage, duties, customs administration and waiting times for shipments that must traverse the continental barrier. No one has ever precisely pinpointed the cost but, based on a variety of studies, Moens estimates it to be roughly $10 billion annually.
An example: A North American car, produced in Canada or the U.S., entails seven trips across the border during the course of its creation. Associated compliance requirements and delay tack on about $800 to the cost of each vehicle.
Warns Moens: "Such costs threaten to undo the gains achieved by highly integrated production processes and make North American producers less competitive in comparison to offshore production."
The author laments the deterioration of the political relationship between the two countries during the Chretien and Martin governments, but says there is now room for optimism when it comes to bilateral renewal.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has nurtured a more positive relationship with Washington which would enable Canada to move ahead with negotiations on several fronts to ease border complications.
Moens recommends Ottawa "would be well advised to use the new momentum to push for comprehensive bilateral agreements in security and defence."
Specifically, he's advocating a free flow of trade and people -- including labour -- across the border. Moens envisions a harmonized system of visas and refugee and immigration rules, and a border managed cooperatively by the two countries.
The political scientist also favours the forging of a binational defence treaty to create a single Canada-U.S. command structure covering air, sea, space and land. Any threat to security would be addressed jointly.
A move towards greater commercial and security integration has been under way since 2005 when leaders of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico struck working groups, reflecting business interests, to recommend potential efficiencies and a route to more robust commercial integration.
The low-profile enterprise, under attack from an assortment of nationalists, is known as the Security and Prosperity Partnership. Moens prefers to see a partnership between Canada and the U.S. only.

Today at 5 p.m., Simon Fraser University is sponsoring a forum featuring John Dickson, a senior U.S. embassy official in Ottawa. The Potential of the Security and Prosperity Partnership for North America will be discussed at 515 West Hastings, Room 7000. Information: 604-642-6657.

Currently, oil and natural gas are the only leasable minerals being produced from federal lands in Alaska. The administration and management of oil and gas on federal lands is subject to specific laws and regulations. These allow and govern the exploration and development of the mineral estate but also help ensure that energy development is conducted in an environmentally responsible manner.
The BLM Alaska Energy Program is responsible for the administration of leasable federal minerals including oil and gas, phosphates, coal, coalbed natural gas, oil shale, and geothermal resources. The BLM reviews and approves permits and licenses from companies to explore for leasable minerals on federal lands. A federal lease must be obtained before development and production of these resources can take place.
The primary responsibilities of BLM Alaska's Energy Program include:
Conducting pre-lease assessments; post-lease sale bid evaluations in the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska (NPR-A)
Permitting oil and gas exploration and development activities
Protecting federal lands from drainage of oil and gas from wells drilled on non-federal lands
Administering federal oil and gas units
Inspecting industry operations for compliance with regulations, lease terms, and permit conditions
Conducting mineral evaluations and development scenarios for land exchanges, sales or disposals, Resource Management Plans (RMPs), Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), and land use plans developed by other federal agencies.
UPDATED! Nov. 7, 2012 NPR-A Oil & Gas Lease Sale Documents>
Effective November 2, 2009, the BLM increased the Application for Permit to Drill (APD) processing fee to $6500

Guests Reviews About This Trip
Thank you for a wonderful trip. It was my first backroads trip and I was not sure what to expect, but the experience clearly exceeded my expectations. The guides were wonderful with a terrific connection making for an easy ride. The mix of activities with the riding really gave me a flavor for Normandy and Brittany. I can't think of a better way to tour France! Thanks for a once in a lifetime vacation!- New York, NY
Just got back last night, and I couldn't wait to fill out my evaluation form...I just wanted to tell someone how great the entire trip was. The trip went by so fast! I was very sad when it ended. Both our leaders were extraordinary.(Backroads must be doing something right with its selection process, because you couldn't have asked for anything more from either of these two women.) I was waiting to see how I would like this trip before I booked any others...but now I think I will make all my vacation plans through Backroads. Thank you again for the trip of a lifetime!!!!- Culver City, CA
We loved all the rides - gorgeous routes and great service from all three leaders. Really couldn't have asked for more. They shared their expertise of the history, had snacks ready at every turn, great enthusiasm and overall wonderful hosts and great company. We appreciated all of it.- Westport, CT

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Lyte33 2 Running Shoe: Bought this to start my slow transition out of super-cushioned sneakers (back when I was a heel-striker) to a more minimalist shoe (now that I'm a mid-foot striker) and I transitioned into it very well. Had no problem breaking them in; I run about 20 to 25 miles a week (on the road) and this is currently my only pair of shoes. It was difficult finding a minimalist shoe for my wide, neutral foot- even this shoe I ended up getting 1/2 size bigger because no wide widths are available. But they are lightweight, allow my foot to fall and act naturally. They are very breathable & flexible.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Lyte33 2 Running Shoe: While I intended to use these shoes for a marathon on March 16, I received them a day before the race and opted to go with my training shoes (ASICS). I have logged all of my post-marathon runs in them and they have been great. In the week since the race, I have put in four twelve mile runs and two 10 milers and have not experienced any problems yet. Verdict on durability, needless to say, is still out.

Telluride Yoga Festival
In the summer of 2007, in a beautiful little mountain town in Colorado an inspired Jivamukti Yoga Instructor, Aubrey Hackman had a vision. Having just returned from training with her teachers Sharon Gannon and David Life, whose strong message of vegetarianism and environmentalism rings through all of their yoga teachings, Aubrey was inspired to create an event that would not only provide yoga students of all levels an enriching experience but also offer them the opportunity to have a positive impact on the world.
A passionate advocate for animal rights and environmentalism, Aubrey wanted to create a Yoga event based on the teachings of karma yoga. The 1st Annual Telluride Festival in the summer of 2008 was the the culmination of that vision.

Yui Hirasawa (
Contents |
Always looking for fun, Yui is fearless; anxiety and stage fright are unknown to her. She likes everything cute and makes a lot of physical contact like holding hands or hugging. She also loves everything sweet (that's why Ritsu gave her a Alias "Lazy Fairy"). Sweets that Mugi brings are Yui's power source. Her physical constitution is such that she does not gain weight no matter how much she eats. She can't stand being hot or cold, so she spends the winter under the kotatsu (a knee-height table with an electric foot-warmer installed inside on the top board, which is used with a coverlet during winter)[1] and rolls around on the floor in the summer in front of the fan, to keep cool.[2] Her grades are always on the verge of failing exept for the fine arts in which she is exceeding; sometimes she is the only person in her class who needs to retake a test[3], other times she manages to avoid failing all of her subjects by a one point margin. She has an average figure. Yui lives in a family of four with her younger sister Ui and both parents. Her parents are a "lovey-dovey" couple[4] and often go on trips together, leaving both daughters behind.
Main character, lead guitarist, lead vocalist. Having misunderstood that "light music" equals to "easy music" (like whistling), she joined the Light Music Club and picked up guitar with absolutely no prior experience.[5] She cannot do more than one thing at a time, but to make up for that she can be highly focused on a particular subject and once started, can advance quite sustantially. However, whenever she learns something, she forgets something else.[6] Yui is the type of person who doesn't read manuals and relies on her own intuition and self-taught approaches. She also does not remember any of the musical terminology. She possesses perfect pitch and is musicaly gifted. She is able to tune her guitar without a tuner[7], but she does not appear to make the best of her ability. Yui is relatively determined and competitive, but at the same time she feels comfortable depending on the help of a few good people like Ui, Nodoka, Mio and Azusa.
Yui is a teenager of below average height of 5'1", with brown eyes and thick medium brown hair at shoulder length, often accessorized mostly with two yellow pins.
Pants over skirts. Yui is relatively fashion-concious and prefers styles featured in teen magazines. She also wears casual clothes such as shorts and t-shirts at home.

Retirement Planning
Do you fancy the idea of living on about £100 per week when you retire?
That's pretty much the prospect unless you make additional pension arrangements either by setting up a personal pension or by being part of a company scheme.
A pension is a long term investment. Your eventual income may depend on the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation.
From our experience, working with our clients, we have discovered that most people who invest their hard earned money in a pension plan are frustrated by its performance. They are also worried that their pension plan will not generate enough income to fund a comfortable retirement.
Our research shows that investors have a right to be worried. Many pension plans are underperforming because they are not given the attention they deserve. The danger is that if your pension plan is not managed properly, you may not achieve financial security in the future.
Approximately 80% of all pensions reviewed are found to be under-performing and in many cases yield less than a third of the potential offered.
Perhaps it might be an idea to hedge your bets and start doing something about it now?
There are a number of pension schemes to consider:
- Pensions
- Serps – State Earnings Related Pension Scheme
- Second Pensions
- Personal Pensions
- Stakeholder Pension
A pension is a long term investment. Your eventual income may depend on the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation.
For people who have worked and paid sufficient relevant National Insurance contributions, there is the basic state pension. The basic state retirement pension or 'old age pension' as it is commonly known is not really sufficient to provide anyone with a comfortable retirement.
SERPS (State Earnings Related Pension Scheme)
Until April 2002 only employed persons paying sufficient National Insurance Contributions qualified for SERPS. On 6th April 2002 the State Second Pension (S2P) replaced SERPS with any existing SERPS entitlement being protected.
S2P (State Second Pension)
The S2P is intended to provide a more generous state pension for people on low or moderate earnings and for carers and people with a long term illness or disability. Like SERPS, the self-employed will not be entitled to S2P benefits at retirement.
An occupational pension scheme is a pension which may be offered by an employer. Some schemes do not require you to contribute, others do. Under current rules you do not have to join your employer's pension scheme (this is under review by the Government) but as the employer will be responsible for many of the costs associated with setting up a plan, it is usually advisable.
If you join your employer's approved occupational pension scheme, they must contribute as well. Many occupational pension schemes offer additional benefits such as life cover, which may be worth up to four times your salary.
Life assurance pays a lump sum to your dependants were you to die before retirement and is included in many employer schemes, often complemented by a pension for your widow/er or other dependants. The possibility of retiring early may be an option, but this will normally be on a reduced pension. Both 'final salary' and 'money purchase schemes' are types of 'occupational' schemes.
The pension is taxable when it is paid, but may be linked to inflation and thus increase annually once you start receiving it. Many schemes also pay out a lump sum, which is currently tax-free, when you retire.
A 'final salary' scheme gives the members a commitment to pay them a pre-defined proportion of their final salary upon retirement (a 'defined benefit'). This depends on a number of factors, such as the time you have worked for the employer, the time you have belonged to the scheme and your earnings in the period just before you retire. For example, you may receive 1/60th of your final salary for each full year you work for your employer and are a member of the scheme.
With a money purchase scheme your contributions are invested for you into a specific share of the pension fund. A fixed rate of contribution is set, usually a percentage of salary. Contributions continue as long as an employee remains a member of the scheme. The contributions are invested by the trustees of the scheme with the aim of increasing over the years by the addition of interest, bonuses, growth of unit prices, etc – depending on the way the money is invested. The fund built up for each individual employee is then used to provide a pension and other retirement benefits at pension age.
The level of retirement pension depends on the total amount paid into the scheme for each employee, the investment income received and the annuity rates when you retire. Employees who change jobs regularly, who suffer redundancy and periods of unemployment, who wish to retire early, or who take career breaks for whatever reason (to look after children or dependants for example) may find that their pension provision is inadequate.
Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) provide 'top up' pension entitlement. Sometimes these extra payments purchase 'added years' to a final salary arrangement, sometimes they are invested to produce a fund available to increase the income at retirement.
Employers may offer such a facility 'in-house' through the company pension scheme. Alternatively, employees may contribute to a Free Standing AVC scheme with an insurance company. This supplements an occupational scheme, but is private from your employer. It is also possible for certain individuals in occupational schemes to contribute to personal pensions under the concurrency rules.
Personal Pension
A personal pension is an option if you are self-employed or your employer does not run a company scheme. A personal pension plan charges the individual for setting up the plan, unlike an occupational pension scheme where the employer often pays the charges. The effect of charges can be significant and erode the value of your plan, especially if you have to stop, start or suspend premiums or change the selected retirement age that you originally applied for.
Stakeholder Pensions
Stakeholder pensions are personal pension plans which meet certain statutory requirements. For example the provider's charges may not exceed 1% annually of the fund value and there can't be any transfer penalties or exit penalties. Whilst there is no minimum level of contribution, product providers can refuse to accept premiums below £20 (whether as a single, annual or monthly premium). Most employers have to provide access to a stakeholder arrangement via the workplace. Some do not and these include employers whose existing pensions arrangements meet (or exceed) specified criteria and those who do not employ sufficient staff.
Personal pensions are built up on a money purchase basis. This means that the level of pension depends on the amount of money paid in, the investment income received on that money and the cost of buying the pension at retirement. The size of your pension fund at maturity depends on how well the underlying assets performed. You can choose from two basic fund types: with profit and unit linked . At retirement date up to 25% of the money built up in this way can be taken as a tax-free cash sum. The rest of the money is used to buy a income from an insurance company.
The monies paid into the scheme are invested with a pension provider such as an insurance company, friendly society, bank or building society. When you retire, payment of the pension is normally arranged through an insurance company.
Pensions are intended as long term investments. The equity based ones are dependent on stock market movements. This means your capital is not usually guaranteed to be safe and so you may lose some or all of it.
If the investment is a unit-linked one, its value can reduce in direct relation to the stock market prices of its underlying assets, although it can also rise. This means you may not get back all the money you invested. If it is a with-profit arrangement, there is not the same direct link between the underlying assets and the value of your policy. This is because the insurance company holds back some profit from good years to offset losses in poor ones – this is referred to as smoothing. The provider cannot withdraw any reversionary bonuses declared, although your early withdrawal may result in a Market Value Adjustment – effectively a financial 'penalty'.
Levels and bases of, and reliefs from, taxation are subject to change and any tax reliefs referred to are the current ones and their value will depend on the circumstances of the individual investor.

After purchasing an old hotel in the West Queen West Art and Design District in 2001, cultural visionary Jeff Stober teamed up with local architect Paul Syme and multi-disciplinary design firm 3rd UNCLE to realize a space that would change the way visitors and locals experience hospitality in Toronto. Through the careful planning and thoughtful renovation of a hotel that was originally built in 1890, the extremely talented creative team preserved iconic elements of the building's past while infusing it with a new energy.
The interior program at the Drake was reconfigured to include 19 guest rooms and several new functions, which allowed guests to enjoy an intersection of "Hospitality, Culture and Community". The cohesiveness of the concept and brand identity has continued through subsequent renovations of the hotel. Charm is found in the details throughout the hotel and in the guest rooms, appointed with custom luggage racks reminiscent of the area's railway history and handmade dolls that patiently await your arrival. Since the re-opening of its doors in 2004, the Drake hotel has established itself as more than just a trend.
With the mélange of activities at the Drake, you really could spend an entire day there wandering from one space to the next. Start the day off right by getting centered at the yoga gym, then stop into the cafe for an espresso and pastry. For lunch, try some innovative sushi at the Raw Bar and then head up to the Sky Yard to mingle in the afternoon sun. Relax in the Lounge for pre-dinner drinks before meeting with friends to enjoy private dining in Room 222. A day at the Drake wouldn't be complete without checking out a new band at the Underground before returning to the Sky Yard for a warm apple cider by the fire pit. If you feel as though you haven't had enough upon check out, pop into the General Store on your way out for some Drake-to-go.
Signing off, Drake enthusiast.

The Best Movie of the Year will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand, December 6, 2011 The Help – the inspirational summer hit film people cant stop talking about- arrives in homes just in time for the holidays.
I was talking about The Help before the movie came out, and even read the book in anticipation of the movie. When I went to the Premier the week before it hit the theaters I knew for sure it was hands down the best movie of the year. I actually saw it three more times after that – it is just that good. As someone who really doesnt even buy DVDs, I knew I wanted this one.
Last week when The Help arrived for review I was stoked. I immediately took a picture and posted it to Facebook via InstaGram with the note "Movie Night Soon!?!" Of course because I have the best friends in the entire World, a date was set! Friday night was officially Margaritas and Movie night – and we had a BLAST.
The #1 New York Times bestseller by Kathryn Stockett comes to vivid life through the powerful performances of a phenomenal ensemble cast. The Help is an inspirational, courageous and empowering story about very different, extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project — one that breaks society"s rules and puts them all at risk. Filled with poignancy, humor and hope — and complete with compelling, never-before-seen bonus features — The Help is a timeless, universal and triumphant story about the ability to create change.
One thing I love about The Help, is no matter how many times I watch it – I continue to laugh out loud every single time. The cast is so perfectly chosen, each character just comes to life on the screen.
The Help stars Emma Stone as the courageous Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, who goes against the beliefs of her family and friends to find her own voice. The critically praised, emotional performance of Viola Davis as Aibileen Clark, a woman who secretly dreams of one day having more than she has been given, offers a deep emotional storyline. The breakthrough performance of Octavia Spencer as Minny Jackson, whose sass and tough exterior disguise the pain and fear she faces every day, brings both drama and humor to the film. Bryce Dallas Howard breathes life into the catty Jackson socialite Hilly Holbrook and Jessica Chastain brings charm and humor as Celia Foote, a kind housewife living outside of town who longs to fit in. Sissy Spacek, Allison Janney and Ahna O"Reilly also provide vivacious performances that round out this all-star female ensemble.
I was bummed that most of the "Extras" are only available on the Blu-ray and naturally we do not have a Blu-ray player since we live stream everything, we have never had the need for one. I really wanted to see "The Making of" but it is only on the Blu-ray disc. We did like the deleted scenes though, and Mary J Blige rocks "The Living Proof" in the Official Video available on the DVD.
The Help Blu-ray DVD Combo is the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone on your list. It is the perfect "Margaritas and Movie" Girls Night In movie!
