As a communications professional, I'm intrigued by the ongoing discussion on "Enterprise 2.0" versus "Social Business". The battlegrounds in this war of words are Twitter, the blogosphere, and more recently the 2.0 Adoption Council and Quora.
When I first came across the discussion last year (while following tweets from the Enterprise 2.0 – sic! – Conference in Santa Clara), I immediately took the side of Enterprise 2.0. That's because I am very familiar with the existing definition of Social Business by Mohammad Yunus. At the moment this definition is still the only one published in Wikipedia – although there were discussions to include the new one.
From a communications point of view, it's a bad idea to use the label of phenomonon A to also describe phenomenon B – especially if those two can appear in a similar context. However, it's not unheard of. All languages I know are full of homonyms.
After a closer look into the discussions, I realized that familiarity with the "traditional" meaning of social business is not as ubiqitous as I thought. Maybe I just know it because BASF was the first chemical company to set up a social business with Mohammad Yunnus' Grameen Bank. The term also seems to be more widely used in Europe than in the U.S. This would explain why I heard objections to using it for "the thing formerly known as Enterprise 2.0" from French thought leaders Isabelle Ayel and Bertrand Duperrin.
What if we can ignore ignore the possible confusion of ideas? Let me contribute my communications expertise to the #e20 vs. #socbiz discussion. One of my mantras in communication is "first consider your target group, then set your objective – and you'll know what to do".
In my opion, the current discussion – fascinating as it is – may be irrelevant because it is lead by the experts.
They were crucial for establishing the term Enterprise 2.0 (which I still passionately love, don't get me wrong). However, now the beautiful movement we help to create is aiming at mainstream – and therefore the experts are no longer the main target group. If we want to reach mainstream, we need to talk mainstream.
And for this, the term "Enterprise 2.0" is just not good enough. Yes, to us #e20/#socbiz evangelists, it conveys the full concept: Using social software internally (and in a more advanced stage also externally) as an enabler for transforming an organization to a more open, networked, sharing, collaborative, innovative, agile and successful enterprise.
However, that's not what happens in our main target group: When Joe Average – and Tony Top-Executive – hear "Enterprise 2.0", they think of IT. Or, even worse, they imagine something that may be hip, but is also technical, nerdy, difficult to understand. This does not help to drive adoption. And it's misleading because, as I blogged earlier, it's not about technology.
So, first recommendation from a communications (and biological) perspective: allow the term "Enterprise 2.0" to be slowly overtaken by evolution.
Does that mean a recommendation to – from now on – start using the term "Social Business" for what we are doing? I can't say I immediately took to the new term. I find it rather fuzzy (just look at the various definitions of social on the web). Therefore, I would have preferred something like Connected Enterprise, Networked Organization. On the other hand, the fuzziness could even help because it gives us the freedom to position the term as we see fit.
Here comes the second communications recommendation: We should decide for one new term worldwide, consider it as empty container and fill it with substance.
Basically, you can do this with any term – if you put enough effort into it. In the Quora discussion, Estaban Kolsky suggested "Sally". If you consider that impossible – just think about "Apple". But since we do not have Steve Job's marketing department at our hands, why not make our lives easier and go for Social Business?
There are some very good ideas how to fill this term with content that will help to drive change in the mainstream. Just check out these excellent blog entries by Graham Hill, Jay Deragon, Rawn Shah, Luis Suarez, Oscar Berg, and Ray Wang. To get a taste of real mainstream, I recommend this CIO article by Heidi Ambler.
But before we all get carried away, be warned: No matter how well we fill the term "Social Business" with content, it's no the silver bullet for every audience. It will indeed be helpful for a broad audience. If you work for a company and want to facilitate your colleagues' transition to "what-we-are-getting-to-know-as-social-business", even the new term will not be good enough.
Third communications recommendation: With all the content of Social Business in mind, tailor your wording to your audience – and their position in the adoption lifecycle. This might involve coming up with new, more specific terms.
Take my company BASF as an example. Internally, we never talked about "Enterprise 2.0". I only use this term when presenting at conferences. To stress the business value, we even avoided the adjective "social". Our global, internal platform is an "Online Business Network". It's known under the name "connect.BASF" – because that's exactly what it does.

Wondering what in the underwater world is going on? So are we.
Exactly two months ago, on March 29th, 2012, in response to the original Animal Planet piece, "Mermaids: The Body Found," we here at Time No Longer posted a short article, "Mermaids, Sound Weapons and Government Cover-Ups" on our social network site, timenolonger.ning.com
With the Discovery Channel's Sunday, May 27th re-release (?) of "Mermaids: The Body Found," and the earnest, growing interest in the subject, we have re-posted our original article here on the blog, along with new and intriguing additional information.
Take a good breath – we're diving right in to the deep end of reality…
[Editor's Note]
[Original Article – May 29th, 2012]
This Discussion is posted in response to the video added here:
As Interesting as the Story Itself are the Facts Behind It.
I have been doing searches on the people and topics surrounding the NOAA mermaid research and there is, without a doubt, a pretty successful campaign to obliterate all information of it from the internet.
First, there is the website of the NOAA scientist, Dr. Paul Robertson.
And the website mermaidsarealive.com "The real Evidence on Mermaids, From Dr. Paul Robertson,NOAA"
And the website believeinmermaids.com "Mermaids are Real, Real Evidence From Dr. Paul Robertson, NOAA"
You will notice a similar result clicking all those links:
The only information left on the internet concerning the research of this phenomenon is the Animal Planet special itself, a Wikipedia entry calling that program a "mockumentary" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaids:_The_Body_Found ) and various bloggers, youtube members or forum posters speaking on the topic.
[Update: May 29th, 2012 – Wikipedia's entry was modified today. The original entry described the piece as a 'mockumentary' but now has been edited to contain substantially less data, and refers to the film as 'docufiction'.
[Update: June 1st, 2012 – Wikipedia's "Mermaids: The Body Found" page was created on March 26th, 2012, by "User:Reese457". The original post is quite different than the terse May 29th version. View the entire Draft copy on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Reese457
From the Draft: "Mermaids: The Body Found is a two hour special set to air on Animal Planet in the Spring of 2012. The film follows the story of a scientific team's investigative efforts to uncover the source behind mysterious underwater recordings and an unidentified marine body. In this film, two former National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists Dr. Paul McCormick and Rebecca Davis tell their story on camera for the first time. After investigating mass strandings of whales, the team claimed to have recorded mysterious underwater noises coming from an unknown source. This sound resembled a sound previously recorded in 1977, called the "bloop". They also claimed to have recovered 30% of the remains of an unknown creature from inside a great white shark which was said to possess attributes of the human body. They alleged that the marine creature had hands, not fins, and the hip structure of an upright animal. These findings, along with many others led the team to determine that this unknown animal was very closely related to humans- possibly a mermaid. To explain the possible origins of mermaids, the team explores a controversial theory called The Aquatic Ape Theory which provides an alternative explanation to human evolution."
One of Reese457's Draft sources includes an interesting piece of news from "livescience.com", titled, "Mermaid Sightings Claimed in Israel", dated for back in August 13th, 2009, which relates the following:
"Locals and tourists in the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam have been flocking to the coast in hopes of glimpsing a creature that most people believe only exist in fairy tales.
An alleged mermaid, said to resemble a cross between a fish and a young girl, only appears at sunset. It performs a few tricks for onlookers before disappearing for the night.
One of the first people to see the mermaid, Shlomo Cohen, said, "I was with friends when suddenly we saw a woman laying on the sand in a weird way. At first I thought she was just another sunbather, but when we approached she jumped into the water and disappeared. We were all in shock because we saw she had a tail."
The sightings apparently began several months ago."
The current Wikipedia entry for "Mermaids: The Body Found" has been extensively edited since the re-release, with the current entry of only 10 lines. View the article's edit history here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mermaids:_The_Body_Found&limit=500&action=history.]
Many of those speaking on it [The original "Mermaids: The Body Found"] have come to the conclusion that it is "debunked" based mostly on the claim that Dr. Paul Robertson and a marine biologist by the name of Brian McCormick do not exist.
They are hard to find, but they do exist.
Here is an excerpt from a document by the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which research is affiliated with NOAA according to the document, and lists Brian McCormick as one individual who contributed to the project.
"The NBNERR Site Profile was made possible through the help of many individuals. Notable contributors and the expertise that they provided include… Sincere thanks also goes to current and former NBNERR staff members who assisted with materials presented in this document, but who did not individually author any of the chapters. These individuals include Robert Stankelis, Kristen Van Wagner, Jennifer West, Matthew Rehor, Kimberly Botelho, Brian McCormick, Alan Beck, and especially Roger Greene…

And here is an excerpt from a document on the minutes of a Devils Lake water improvement district meeting. Listed as staff:
"STAFF: Paul Robertson, Seth Lenaerts, RARE Participant"
and affiliated with NOAA:
"Seid Creek: Green asked what is expected as the outcome on this issue. Robertson said nothing has occurred. NOAA previously said they were going to do a site inspection in March. Follow-ups have gone unanswered. Robertson asked if a letter from the Board would be effective. He explained that this is a construction site that has been filling debris above wetlands. Last year, a lot of it slid down into the wetlands. DSL has turned away from any enforcement action and the Corps never investigated. Robertson said it appears that Seid Creek is a watershed similar to Thompson Creek. Green asked for Robertson to continue making calls rather than the Board writing a letter just yet."
[Screenshot: Note the web address and document title. Robertson's name appears to the right of 'Staff'.]
Why, among all "conspiracy" related topics would this be the one that was so highly attacked?
There are certainly elements of well accepted mainstream beliefs that might be shattered with the knowledge of aquatic humanoids. The aquatic ape theory is so poorly presented that even very adamant evolutionists could not help but feel shamed to preach it and it would not suffice to halt the questions about the accepted ideas of how life came to be on Earth.
That is not the answer all by itself though. There is something else that should not be lost on the viewer amidst the more sensational news of mermaids. The weaponized "sonar" which the Navy had allegedly invented is surely a serious issue if it were publicly recognized.
I am not sure that Ibelieve this weapon is Naval or is an advanced sonar weapon. We know there are sound weapons now and we know they can be lethal. They are not just a threat to wildlife in the Oceans, they are a threat to people on land as they have the capacity to be used not just in an aquatic environment but anywhere.
The USC sections sited on the shut down sites are those pertaining to making fraudulent or fictitious claims against the government. Those so-called fictitious claims almost certainly relate to the sound weapon mentioned. They are working hard to hide this and I wonder what we can do to make it less hidden…
[End Original Article]
Sound weapons aside, for now, let's see if we can first distill the murky waters of 'real mermaids'…
If you haven't seen this video yet, please view it now, and pay particular attention to the shape, size and mannerisms of the curious creatures captured herein:
Now, let's venture even farther out into the turbulent seas of mermaid evidence with well-known, long-time master dive instructor, Jeff Leicher, as he introduces us to the fascinating Kaiwi Point Mermaid…
The following was taken from Jeff's website, Jack's Diving Locker:
KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII – For more than 50 years, people have reported seeing a mermaid off the coast of Hawaii's Big Island. But the sightings were never taken seriously — until a dive-boat captain finally captured the half-woman, half-fish on film!
Dive master Jeff Leicher, 43, photographed the creature known as the "Kaiwi Point Mermaid" on April 12, 1998, as he and six other divers were exploring the ocean bottom about 20 minutes off Hawaii's sunny Kona coast.
"I'd heard about her before," says Leicher, who operates Jack's Diving Locker. "Most of us who are out in these waters regularly have heard stories. But I'd never seen her until that morning.
"We were on our way out to the point when a school of dolphins started following the boat, playing in our wake. Suddenly one of the men on the port side starts yelling and pointing.
"I couldn't believe what I saw. There, not 10 feet from the bow, was what looked like a nude woman.
"She had long flowing hair and one of the most beautiful faces I've ever seen.
"But there's no way a human being could be swimming so fast. She was keeping right up with the dolphins.

"Then she leapt into the air and my heart almost gave out on me. The entire lower half of her was covered with scales and tapered back into a huge fish tail.
"She jumped once more, then disappeared under the surface."
All 10 people on the boat witnessed the bizarre incident. But there was another incredible surprise still ahead.
"About an hour later we arrived at the point and we were diving. I was photographing some colorful fish with my underwater camera.
"Suddenly I felt something brush against my right leg. She shot by me like a streak of lightning, then turned and came back past me, swimming the other way. I just aimed the camera and started snapping pictures.
"I kept shooting as she broke for the surface and swam away."
Weekly World News had Leicher's pictures analyzed by three noted photography labs. All three say the photos are genuine and have not been tampered with.

"I feel very lucky that I'm the one to finally prove to the world what people here have known for half a century," says Leicher.
"The Kaiwi Point Mermaid is real."
Jeff's Kaiwi Point Mermaid photographs appear stunningly similar to the Coral Reef Mermaids in the video.
More to come…
UPDATE: May-31-2012
What is the Goal of the Discovery Channel?
The initial release of "Mermaids, The Body Found" seemed out of place in the mainstream. We do not usually expect such sources to put forth honest information on anything which involves government secrecy. There was obviously dishonesty put forth in the form the ridiculous aquatic ape theory and the program itself was dubbed a "mockumentary" by Wikipedia.
What is Animal Planet Mocking?
Perhaps the wish that many have to see someone in the forefront be genuinely interested in disclosing some things that we have known or suspected all along. Or perhaps the mockery of real people who have investigated these things and been subsequently silenced and discredited by the establishment.
Regarding anything which is put under the label "conspiracy theory", the media and entertainment industry has done its job in supplying the skeptics with ammunition against objective consideration of these things. "You watch too much television" is an effective termination to a conversation about UFO's, Montauk, MKULTRA or any one of a number of other topics.
The sites which supposedly supplied information on the topic of mermaids and the sound weapons researched by the scientists are apparently owned by Discovery Channel, themselves. Why might they go this far? The easy answer might be greed, and that they conducted what amounts to a "marketing ploy". Incongruous to that idea is the fact that we do continue to hear reports of marine mammals dying in the same way described in the program. We can find marine scientists with the names supplied in it and we are already aware of the technological potential of the US military for weapons which exceed anything called science fiction.
The sensational nature of the existence of mermaids attracted the most attention, though from my perspective it was never the most intriguing point. I was not in doubt of the existence of aquatic transgenics before Animal Plane,t and so what became more interesting to me was "What weaponry would be so beyond the belief or acceptance of the public that there would be such a strategic effort to conceal it?"
The question that remains for me is; "What grain of truth might the establishment have attempted to bury within a massively hyped web of distraction which will remain in the memories of countless people as a marketing hoax?" If you are already aware that the Powers that Be regularly play this game, you will be watching for the little loose threads of truth to follow in the future.

Although police had prepared for problems, Thursday's Fourth of July celebrations around Baltimore were mostly trouble-free.
During a news conference just before sunset at the Inner Harbor, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said there had been no arrests in the crowd, which exceeded 100,000. By 8 p.m., there had been just two unconfirmed reports: of a gun being discharged and of a possible suicide.
By 10:45 p.m. – an hour after fireworks had ended – the crowd was dispersing peacefully, according to Det. Jeremy Silbert.
Planning for the holiday began three months ago, Batts said.
"I've just spent time walking our perimeter." Batts said. "It's going well. It's a very large crowd, but everything I've heard so far is that they're happy we're out here."
But in Annapolis, the holiday was marred by tragedy when a 7-year-old boy died Thursday night after tumbling from a vehicle preparing to join the parade queue. In addition, the search was temporarily halted at sunset after a 24-year-old man went underwater while swimming in the Magothy River.
From Towson to Arbutus, from Catonsville to Columbia, from Fells Point to Pimlico, there were all the customary trappings of the day — pancake breakfasts, folks dressed in Colonial garb, marching men in uniform, kids in wagons festooned with balloons, and politicians on parade. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake even put the first stitch in a 30-by-42-foot replica of the Star-Spangled Banner flag being created by the Maryland Historical Society.
Perhaps because of the extraordinary police presence in the Inner Harbor, what there wasn't was any trouble. There were no shootings or stabbings by the time the first fireworks went off in the Inner Harbor. Every officer on the Baltimore Police Department was ordered to work Thursday in an effort to stem the violence that has resulted in 40 shootings, including 16 homicides, in the past two weeks.
Police, in neon vests and often moving in groups of 10 or more, were out in force, but few complained about the increased presence. "I'm glad to see it," said Don Van Divner, 78, of Friendsville, who sported a red-white-and-blue golf shirt covered with quotes from the Declaration of Independence.
In Roland Park, Alex Finoggenoff, who was born in Russia but who became a U.S. citizen two years ago, was literally draped in an American flag. He wore it around his shoulders, and it matched his red-white-and-blue T-shirt as he marched with 400 others through his neighborhood.
"I'm just being patriotic and getting in the right spirit," said Finoggenoff, 38, who teaches at Barclay Elementary/Middle School in Charles Village. "It feels natural."
Though the day was overcast and mixed clouds and sun, with temperatures near 90 degrees and a 40 percent chance of showers, everyone stayed dry. That seemed unlikely after July's rainy start and June's record precipitation — it was the wettest month on record in more than four decades.
"It's like a Norman Rockwell picture in motion," said Heather D'Amore, 58, as she watched the Longfellow parade, which included pets in costume, including a wiener dog — that is, a Dachshund — wearing a hot-dog bun with the trimmings.
"It's as if the neighborhood got lost back in time, when neighbors were close and supported one another," D'Amore said.
Back at the Inner Harbor, Mark Andrews and Dave Dando, both of West Virginia, said they'd arrived about 4 p.m. to stake out a good viewing spot for their families.
Neither was aware there had been problems during other holiday celebrations, and news to that effect didn't dim their enthusiasm.
They'd even been amusing themselves by "counting cops." They were up to 40 by about 5 p.m., "none of them the same," Dando said.
The police presence, they said, didn't bother them a bit.
"We're here for the Fourth," Andrews said. "So far, it's been a very nice afternoon."
Baltimore Sun Media Group reporters Larry Perl, Jon Meoli and Casey Leins contributed to this article.

By Josephine BalmerAt a British Centre for Literary Translation Seminar held jointly with Northampton Library Services some years ago, one of the participating librarians recounted his first encounter with the vagaries of translation; having fallen in love with a black Penguin version of Dostoyevsky's The Idiot as a student, he had eagerly purchased a new version when it had recently been republished. But dipping in to the book, he quickly became perplexed. Now he could barely recognize the novel he had once so much enjoyed. As he soon realized, it had been retranslated by a different, new translator into a different, new English.
The assumption that translation might be static, a 'correct' version which has passed, without pollution, through its translator from one language to another, is perhaps hardly surprising. Ignoring Francis William Newman's caveat against presenting a translation as the original text, Anglophone publishing conventions often exclude translator's names from the front cover of literary works, particularly those of the established western canon. In such editions, translator's prefaces rarely refer to their own approaches and strategies in approaching their source text; for instance, Richmond Lattimore's iconic 1965 version of the Odyssey includes 23 pages for his discussion of the text and four lines for his "Note on the Translation". His fellow Homeric translator Robert Fagels is more blunt, noting in the introduction to his 1996 Odyssey that any sort of translator statement is "a risky business…petards that will probably hoist the writer later".
But for translators themselves, a subjective approach to the text is often not only inevitable but essential. Readers, Carol Maier observed wryly, might regard translation as a task "that does not occur in the realms of thought but between the pages of a dictionary" (even if, as radical Catullus translator Louis Zukofsky pointed out, "the trouble with the dictionary is that it keeps changing the subject"). But to translators it is a form of writing offering its own pleasures and triumphs. For Lisa Rose Bradford, the translator of contemporary Argentine poet Juan Gelman, her work represents "a regeneration of delight and a grafting of cultures".
This is particularly the case for classical translators, working with dead languages, defunct literary forms, and, most tricky of all, incomplete texts. Here, the issue is often not how but what to translate. For example, when working on my 1996 volume Classical Women Poets, I had to create my own large scale copy of the disputed and tattered text of Erinna's "Distaff", unearthed in Egypt in 1928, with each scholar's emendations and new readings represented by a different colour shading. In the case of Sappho's fragments, issues of translation and framing become more tricky; how to represent a few isolated lines or words or even a string of isolated letters as poetry for a contemporary audience? In her influential 2002 volume If Not, Winter, Canadian poet and classicist Anne Carson adopted an uncompromising approach, mirroring the fragmentation of the Greek as it appears on the texts. Nevertheless, even this "literal" rendering is highly artificial; Carson often misses out lines and letters while at the same time she sprinkles the page with square brackets to represent even more lacunae than are present in the Greek.
In my 1984/1992 volume Sappho: Poems & Fragments, my aim was to allow the framing of the translations within a volume to become a creative strategy in itself. I grouped small pieces together, regardless of their position in modern Greek textual editions which are themselves a construct of modern scholarship. For example, the fragments traditionally numbered 51 and 36, which have both survived in short quotations from much later commentators, were reordered together in my new version as follows:
I don't know what to do –
I'm torn in two
I desire and yearn
[for you]
Such interventions allowed disparate fragments to interact with each other in new ways, suggesting hidden narratives within the text, presenting these often baffling pieces afresh to a new, contemporary readership. At the same time, in order to maintain the integrity of the texts themselves, like Anne Carson, I also utilised the typography of scholarship to clarify, through poem numberings and asterisk breaks, that these were still to be considered separate pieces.
In addition to this policy of juxtaposition, I then recontextualized the fragments within the book by grouping them together by subject, here in a section I entitled "Despair". This was, of course, pure speculation; with Sappho's own poetic vision now lost to us forever, the reordering and regrouping of her fragments within these emotive section headings represent my own subjective interaction with the text. For André Lefevere, such framing is part of a work's system of "patronage", which aims to "regulate the relationship between the literary system and other systems, which together make up … a culture".
If such clearly subjective responses to the text might not meet the approval of all, they undoubtedly provide a means to address the complex textual and cultural issues faced by classical translators. These, in turn, can lead to new, creative engagements with a chosen source, reimagining — and above all reanimating — an ancient text for a new contemporary audience, whether through translation, free versioning or the writing of new, original poems based around it.
In the end perhaps all that matters is the quality of the work. "A translator must know one language well," Donald Carne-Ross advised a hesitant Christopher Logue as he embarked on his life's work of Homeric versioning. "Preferably his own."
Josephine Balmer is a poet, translator, and research scholar. Her study, Piecing Together the Fragments: Translating Classical Verse, Creating Contemporary Poetry, is published by OUP. Her latest collection, The Word for Sorrow, based around Ovid's Tristia, is published by Salt.

Points and Rankings
The ability to measure one competitor's performance against another is the heart of competive athletics. In a country as large as the USA, it's improtant to have measurement tools to evaluate performance of skiers around the nation. Performance of USSA athletes is evaluated through various ranking lists. Athletes competing in scored competitions earn points, which are calculated mathematically to allow ranking lists to be developed. Ranking lists, in turn, are used by USSA for selection to teams, entry into higher level competitions and for development projects.
USSA Ranking Lists
USSA ranking lists utilize finishes from USSA scored competitions.
FIS Ranking Lists
FIS ranking lists utilize finishes from FIS competitions worldwide, including those in the USA.
QRP Ranking Lists
Qualifying Race Point ranking lists utilize finishes in Nor-Am and U19 Series competitions to rank junior athletes.
Alpine Ranking List Overview
Ski racers are: 1) scored by total points for each seeded competition in which they finish without disqualification, 2) ranked nationally and internationally according to their earned total points, and 3) seeded in subsequent competitions according to their total points earned in previous events. Thus, in ski racing, things are done 'by the numbers'.
Points are used in ski racing because of the unique character of the sport: there is no precisely defined standard field, track, or course for the competition. To compensate for courses of different length, on widely varying terrain, and on snow surfaces that can differ considerably, the FIS legislated 1) guidelines, such as minimum vertical drop, minimum and maximum number of gates, and gate dimensions, for the setting of courses, and 2) formulas for assigning points by relating a racer's time to the winner's time.
For more information on how the Points are calculated, see Chapter 2, Points and Rankings, of the Alpine Competition Guide whcih can be found on the Rules page.

Speed Lust - Mustang Performance Parts - May 2014
Feed the urge for automotive adrenaline
Jet Transfer
Our friends at Summit Racing carry a lot of Mustang performance parts. The mail-order giant has expanded its Ford Racing Performance Parts offerings with Cobra Jet suspension components. Shown here is Ford Racing's Cobra Jet damper kit (PN FMS-M-18000-CJ) that is designed to work in concert with Ford Racing's Cobra Jet spring kit (FMS-M-5300-Q), which Summit also carries. Engineered and designed for Ford Racing's Cobra Jet drag-racing program, these packages will work on your '05-'14 Mustang to help you realize quicker elapsed times at the dragstrip.
Halo Affect
If you want to add a custom touch to the front of your '13-'14 Mustang GT, check out a pair of Raxiom Smoked CCFL Halo Foglights. These smoked foglights feature an integrated CCFL accent Halo ring, which adds an intimidating appearance to your Mustang. They reuse the factory LED bulbs and install in the factory location using the factory wiring and mounting brackets. The CCFL Halo Accents include two wires that connect into the factory parking lamps. They are approved for street use by the Department of Transportation.
Special Seats
Adding seats to a Mustang is usually one of the last things on our list. However, once we reach that level, it's as agonizing a decision as choosing new wheels. Corbeau is here to make that decision pretty easy. Its Sportline RRS offering is designed to combine all that is excellent in automotive seating into one work of genius. The Sportline RRS features injection-molded foam, strategically placed bolsters for support, and harness belt capability. In case you are concerned, and we know you are, the RRS is designed to fit those of us with up to a 38-inch waist.
Cool Rear
JLT Performance spends a lot of time on the road course, and one product derived from track testing is its new '05-'14 Mustang rear axle expansion tank. During racing, the rearend fluid heats up and expands; combine that with hard cornering, and it can spit fluid out the factory breather and all over the track. Thanks to the JLT expansion tank, the fluid simply flows up into the tank, and then back down into the rearend when it cools. It was designed by JLT on its '13 GT Track Pack car, and features a TIG-welded tank, CNC-machined fittings, and oil-rated push-lock hose. This product will not work on Shelby GT500s equipped with the optional rearend cooler.
Power Fuel
When it comes to fuel system components, it's a smart idea to buy products from one company. DeatschWerks' Power Packages are a great start to that premise. These Power Packages include fuel injectors and in-tank fuel pumps that have been specifically matched to complement each other's performance. When buying these packages, it's almost like getting the fuel pump for free. Hellion Power Systems has begun using DeatschWerks for its fuel system needs, so you know the company has what you need for your Mustang.
Beat The Heat
Your author just wishes someone would beat the Miami Heat. Oh wait, Cervini's Auto Designs new heat extractor hood for '10-'12 Mustangs is designed to keep the heat out of your Mustang's engine compartment. After all, heat is the enemy of horsepower, so the easier you release hot underhood air, the more power your Mustang can make. This heat-extractor hood cools underhood temps that normally soak your Mustang's engine by evacuating power-robbing heat. See, we're not the only one that doesn't like the heat.
Easy Action
During teardowns and reinstallations, Earl's Quick Connect Adapter Fittings come in handy. When running factory fuel rails in a performance application, these fittings make life easier. They connect to Ford fuel lines and provide a secure connection to -6 and -8 AN fittings. The adapters use dual O-ring seals with an OE-style, steel, inner snap-ring retainer that clicks to the original lines. Earl's includes a factory-style internal retainer, along with an external retaining clip to provide safety and peace of mind.
Adjustable Rear
Everyone loves improving handling with suspension upgrades. Steeda Autosports has been a champion of this cause since the Fox days. The company hasn't stopped, either. Its latest upgrade is a Panhard bar improved over the previous offering in that it allows for easy adjustability using a central CNC-machined, chrome-moly-steel adjuster and CNC, chrome-moly threaded inserts. Just like with the original, though, you still get the great fitment for which Steeda is known. This bar is 40-percent lighter than its stock replacement, and is designed to provide the ability to adjust rearend offset. Steeda recommends it for lowered Mustangs, and let's face it, what Mustang isn't lowered?
Power Partners
Trick Flow and Stainless Works came together to design a full line of long-tube headers for '11-'13 Mustang GTs. Made in the USA from 304L stainless steel, these fully TIG-welded headers feature CNC-mandrel-bent tubing for maximum flow, and 3⁄8-inch flanges for a leak-free fit. These headers are also available for '96-'02 GTs and '05-'10 GTs, and a '79-'93 Mustang turbo header design is available, as well.
Bumpin' And Steerin'
Simply put, a bumpsteer kit is designed to keep the tire's full tread in contact with the pavement when going over bumps. This is important on the street, but especially in competition. Kenny Brown Performance offers these bumpsteer tie-rod ends designed for '05-'14 Mustangs, including Boss 302s and Shelby GT500s. The kit includes both left- and right-side outer tie-rod ends, and features longer ball studs that correct the tie-rod angle for optimized geometry and positive steering input. It also features a forged-steel ball stud and housing with upgraded high-temp dust boots and grease fittings.
Complete Seal
If there ever was a product aimed at Editor Turner, it's this one. CarCapsule is an inflatable bubble designed to completely seal and protect your Mustang from dings, dirt, dust, corrosion, mildew, musty odors, and maybe best of all, pests. Seen here with Hillbank USA's Grabber Blue GT, CarCapsule is available in indoor and outdoor versions. Inflation of the CarCapsule is maintained by a high-pressure fan providing continuous airflow to keep the vehicle dry and prevent condensation.
'Glide Along
Many of our favorite Mustang drag racers rely on a Powerglide transmission to get them from point A to point B in the fastest manner possible. ATI Performance Products wants to help them achieve that goal. They offer these new bolt-together, 1.64 and 1.66, high-horsepower Powerglide gear sets. Boasting straight-cut, Vasco gears these sets are designed to accept OEM Powerglide 19-spline input shafts and have an OEM-sized Powerglide output shaft. ATI says case machining is not needed. These gear sets accept up to five OEM-sized reverse clutches, and no other special parts are needed for installation.

Palestinians have hailed the establishment of a new Fatah-Hamas reconciliation government last week, but it didn't take long for unrest to break out in the Gaza Strip between the rival groups over divvying up Palestinian Authority money for salaries and merging their twin bureaucracies.
Banks in Gaza remained shuttered for a second business day on Sunday after scuffles broke out across the territory as Hamas' public servants – who are afraid they won't be paid by the new government — blocked Fatah bureaucrats from collecting their salaries at bank machines.
Police officers of the Hamas government were soon deployed to bank branches to break up the fighting and block entry, and cash machines around Gaza have been sealed ever since. On Sunday some bank employees said that they were barred from entering branches by policemen.
The tension highlights a major sticking point in the Palestinian unity deal: what to do about payment for some 40,000 public servants and public security workers who Hamas hired to administer the territory since taking over in 2007. Hamas employees haven't been paid for weeks because the Gaza government has been in a cash crunch due to lost tax revenue from trade through tunnels from Egypt which have been sealed by Cairo.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas – who has continued paying the salaries of 70,000 Fatah bureaucrats kicked out of work seven years ago – indicated that it could be months before the Palestinian Authority foots the bill. He said on Saturday the PA will need to review the credentials of the Hamas public servants before they are included on the PA payroll and that payments won't be made until after Palestinians hold elections, which are expected at the end of the year.
If Mr. Abbas paid Hamas employees it would likely stir up trouble with the U.S. and E.U., which have laws banning aid money from reaching the Islamic militant group. The PA has also been pressed by the International Monetary Fund to pare down its salary bill.
Grappling with Hamas' public servant salaries could be one of the biggest uncertainties for the Hamas Fatah reconciliation in addition to the fate of Hamas military force in Gaza, said Neri Zilber, a visiting scholar at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy who focuses on the Palestinian economy.
`Will they downsize and rationalize the public service sector? Does that mean that 70,000 Fatah employees are going to go back to work? Who is going to pay for the redundancy? Are they going to put Hamas public security on the PA payroll? It's a question no one has answered,'' Mr. Zilber said. "It's a big financial issue, it's a bigger political issue.''
Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of the Hamas government for the last seven years, released a statement on Thursday saying that he had gotten a promise from Qatar to fund Hamas' public servants. So far, there's been no confirmation from Qatar. Persian Gulf countries have been an important source for financial backing for the PA, but their aid has been spotty and lower than promised.
If Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas were to accept the funds from Qatar, it would mean that the sides are postponing dealing with one of the tough obstacles in the way of genuine reconciliation, said Mr. Zilber.
"Qatari money, if it materializes, is a bailout for both sides,'' Mr. Zilber said. "The only question is how consistent this money — from Qatar and other Gulf states — will be, and what happens if it doesn't materialize or at some point stops.''
(Ahmed Abu Hamada in Gaza City contributed to this report.)

How to Recycle at Saint John's
Recycling is pretty easy at Saint John's. The commingled recycling system is available in students' individual residences, staff and faculty offices, public areas, and in the recycling bins outside. We've tried to answer your most common recycling questions and to make our list of recyclables as complete as possible. Some students even made a video to explain the system. Still "stumpf'd?" (Get it?) Contact us! We'd be happy to help you.
How do I know what I can recycle?
Explore the links below to find out what you can and can't put in the commingled system. Some things, like electronics and light bulbs, can't be recycled in the commingled system, but they can be recycled in other ways! See the details below to find out how.
Okay, so I've collected a bunch of recyclables; how do I get rid of them?
Students, staff, and faculty are responsible for taking out the recyclables that they collect in their rooms and offices. Simply empty your recyclables into the recycling carts with yellow lids or the recycling dumpsters near your building. If your recyclables are in a plastic bag, please empty the bag into the recycling carts or dumpsters. Then either re-use the bag or throw it in the waste dumpster—plastic bags aren't allowed in the commingled recycling.
But the dumpster's already full!
If the dumpster looks full, check the rear hatches; usually the recyclables pile up in the front of the dumpster, leaving lots of room in the back. If the dumpsters are truly full on a consistent basis, contact us, and we'll have SJU Custodial Services check it out. We need you to let us know if there are problems with the recycling system so that they can be fixed.

what is Esperanto ?
Esperanto is a language created for people who speak different native
languages. It is neutral, international and easy to learn.
It is approximately seven times easier to learn than English, and up to
ten times easier to learn than some other languages. It is a complete
language; able to produce fully an equivalent to any statement made in
any language.
hey man it's a good choice !!!
Esperanto is designed to be an "international" language, a second language for everyone. So, if New Zealanders want to speak with Greeks, or if someone from Mexico wants to speak with someone from Kuwait, there is no need to learn a lot of different languages. If we all could speak Esperanto besides our own mother tongue, then it would be so much easier to communicate and share ideas and friendship.
ye you can start now and learn Esperanto yeeeee you a Esperantriso now
you can learn Esperanto free in 2 week !!. it's easy !! and useful —>in esperanto say (kaj utila) !!!
vi nun mia amiko !!! ——> mean ( you now my friend ) !!
hurry up too easy , contact to mondo oh excuse world !!!
you can read more about Esperanto in here and here and here and here & tie ĉi
and you can learn Esperanto in tie ĉi !!!
good luck

Processor of the Year & PN Excellence Awards FAQsComments Email Print
Frequently Asked Questions
Back to Processor of the Year home
Who can be nominated?
What types of companies are eligible?
Who can submit a nomination for the award?
Who are the judges?
What are the criteria?
PN Excellence Awards - special honors for 3 criteria
What happens after a company gets nominated?
How many companies pursue the award?
How many recipients will be selected?
Why should I try for the award?
For the Financial Performance category, of information do you need?
What other tips or advice can you offer?
Who can I contact for more information?
Who can be nominated? The award competition is open to all private and public companies or corporate operating divisions engaged in North American plastics processing for at least the past five years.
What types of companies are eligible? The name of the award says it all: Processor of the Year. Under our definition, a processor is a manufacturer that forms finished plastic parts, like a detergent bottle or car bumper fascia. Firms such as compounders, recyclers and resin manufacturers are not eligible.
Who can submit a nomination for the award? We encourage self-nominations. Also, we typically receive nominations from third parties associated with successful processors. Typically, that has included machinery and material suppliers, but we've also had had processors nominated by banks and local economic development officials. (We always recommend contacting the company before you send in the nomination). We ask that you briefly explain why the company deserves the award. Nominators must identify themselves to us, but if that person wishes to remain anonymous, we can honor that and not identify the supplier in any published article. Simply make that clear to us.
Who are the judges? All judging is done internally by reporters and editors of Plastics News. We do get help analyzing the financial performance criteria from Deloitte Corporate Finance. But the editorial staff does the research and makes the decisions.
Back to Top
What are the criteria? There are seven, and they cover nearly every major aspect of running a business:
* Financial performance
* Quality
* Customer relations
* Employee relations
* Environmental performance
* Industry/public service
* Technological innovation
What happens after a company gets nominated? Akron-based senior reporter Bill Bregar, who is the award project coordinator, will contact each nominee. The next step involves some work by the candidate: We ask you to prepare a report, making your best case on each of the seven criteria. We often get asked if there's a checklist or form we send out. The answer is no. It's more like a college term paper - write enough to cover thoroughly the topic.
Back to Top
How many companies pursue the award? Normally we get 15 to 20 entries per contest.
Back to Top
How many recipients will be selected? There is only one Processor of the Year Award winner. We pick the winner from several finalists-usually there are from two to four finalist companies. All the finalists get significant exposure, however.
Back to Top
What are Plastics News Excellence Awards? Three Plastics News Excellence Awards will be selected in the categories of: Customer Relations, Employee Relations and Industry/Public Service. The judges will pick finalists and winners for outstanding performance on each of those criteria. Candidates for these sub-category awards will come from the pool of nominees for Processor of the Year, so they need to meet the same qualification rules as that award.
Back to Top
Sounds like a lot of work. Why should I try for the award? Plastics News runs a front-page profile on the winning company. When the finalists are announced, we run a story outlining each firm strengths. So that's obvious. Winning a major industry award gives you publicity and independent recognition. Past winners and finalists say it pumps up employees and sends a strong message to existing and potential customers. Some have even said they won new business as a result.
Even if your company doesn't reach the finalist stage, the award process is a worthwhile experience. Every year, we hear feedback from company officials saying they enjoyed it because compiling the documentation and making their best case encouraged them to analyze the big picture of their company - something that can be hard to do as you run a business day to day.
And now, there's even more reason to try, with a chance to win a Plastics News Excellence Award for the three categories.
Back to Top
We're a privately held company. For the financial performance category, what kind of information do you need? This is the most common question we hear. Normally, we ask for the last five years of sales, plus a net income figure for the most recent full fiscal year. We understand that many companies are very cautious about releasing financial data, especially about profitability. We would hope most companies, trying for an award with a business newspaper, would be willing to release their sales, or at least a range.
Why do we want the net income number? We end up comparing firms from a wide range of sizes and end markets, and net income allows us to calculate the profit margin - so we can compare apples to oranges with some sort of common denominator.
Still have second thoughts? Remember that financial performance is just one of the seven criteria, albeit an important one. Well-rounded companies have the most success.
And you can send more than the minimum financial data. For purposes of the award judging, our editors and reporters are just that - judges - and so detailed financial information is used only for the purposes of judging the award.

What other tips or advice can you offer? Think "quantification" whenever possible. For example, on the criteria of quality, companies often send us charts showing their defective parts per million, over a period of time. That can show improvement, which is a good thing!
These days, the hardest decision is sorting through all the company data to find the key numbers, then illustrating them clearly for the judges.
Be sure to point out your firm's involvement in environmental, community, workforce and industry programs, whether it is sponsoring a visit to your plant by a member of Congress, supporting a local charity, instituting in-house recycling, or offering innovative daycare to workers. Here's one more tip. Customer relations is an important area. We ask that you supply us with contact names and telephone numbers of three to five customers. Our judges will then call them - as such sources lend important independent voices to verify your company's accomplishments.

Who can I contact for more information? Contact Bill any time, via e-mail at email@example.com or telephone at 330-865-6158. We've found that leaving the process somewhat open-ended helps - that "term paper" approach again - because each company can demonstrate its own initiative. So go for it! Make your best case and you may be the next Processor of the Year! Previous winners will tell you it's well worth the effort.

A Home After the Holidays
The lighting of the Rockefeller Center tree has been a New York tradition for decades. But just recently, a new tradition has sprouted up.
At Habitat, the tree is re-purposed for a number of charitable projects. Back in 2008, the tree was turned into wood cabinets for an affordable housing complex in Brooklyn.
