Paid to Think by David Goldsmith with Lorrie Goldsmith - Book review
Paid to Think
A Leader's Toolkit for Redefining Your Future
By: David Goldsmith
Published: October 23, 2012
Format: Hardcover, 544 pages
Publisher: BenBella Books
"You can never underestimate the value of thinking before taking action, especially when you're about to invest labor, capital, time, and your reputation on an initiative", writes speaker, consultant, and President of Goldsmith Organization LLC, David Goldsmith, in his comprehensive and transformational book Paid to Think: A Leader's Toolkit for Redefining Your Future. The author describes how leaders are often given ideas about leadership, but are rarely offered the practical tools to put those leadership concepts into action.
David Goldsmith recognizes the necessity of leaders creating a fresh approach to the role and importance of leadership within organizations. The author demonstrates how leaders, in order to meet the many and varied challenges facing their organizations, must rethink the the very concept of leadership. David Goldsmith presents a completely integrated approach to leadership through his concept of Enterprise Thinking. At its core, this revolutionary idea transforms a leader's entire focus on what leadership really means, entails, and works on a daily basis. David Goldsmith offers a complete new way of considering leadership, and its fundamental concepts, and challenges leaders to rethink their own beliefs and practices to achieve superior personal and organizational performance.
David Goldsmith (photo left) understands the value of thinking for a leader to achieve success. With the concepts proposed in the book, the author shares the tools and practices for a leader to incorporate thinking, rethinking, and challenging of the traditional thinking into their regular management technique. David Goldsmith also guides leaders toward changing their way of thinking about themselves as leaders and their teams as followers. Instead of the conventional wisdom of doing more, the author challenges leaders and their teams to be more.
David Goldsmith shares the overall framework of Enterprise Thinking in four underlying foundations. The four pillars are as follows:
* Strategizing
* Learning
* Performing
* Forecasting
For me, the power of the book is how David Goldsmith combines a strong theoretical structure, in the form of Enterprise Thinking, with the practical tools and techniques for putting the concept into practice. The author takes a completely holistic approach to leadership, where all of the facets of leadership are fully integrated into a complete reexamination of the leadership role and importance. David Goldsmith integrates strategy, learning, performance, and forecasting into a comprehensive whole.
While many leaders consider these concepts to be separate functions, the author considers them all pieces of the overall management and leadership puzzle. David Goldsmith also bolsters his ideas through the inclusion of case studies, where real world leaders applied the principles of Enterprise Thinking to their own organizations. The results achieved through this fresh approach and challenge to conventional thinking were remarkable in their high rates of success and achievement.
I highly recommend the revolutionary and game changing book Paid to Think: A Leader's Toolkit for Redefining Your Future by David Goldsmith, to any leaders at any level of their organizations, who are seeking a proven and highly effective methodology for transforming an ordinary company into an extraordinary one. This book will transform your leadership skills, and of those across your entire organization, into Enterprise Thinkers who are truly paid to think.

QUINCY, MI (WTVB) - In Branch County high school sports, the competition finally won out over the cancellations yesterday as the games resumed after three days of no play because of this week's big blast of winter weather. Last night in varsity boys basketball, Quincy pulled away in the second half at home to beat Jonesville 56-31. Michael Tesch had 12 points and 9 rebounds in the win for the Orioles while Nick Haberl and Jake Rider added 10 points apiece. Quincy improved to 4-and-1 overall and 3-and-0 in the Big Eight.
Tekonsha fell at home to Litchfield 66-54 with 17 points for Travis Hurley and 12 for Jeremy Scherer.
Last night in reserve boys and girls basketball, it was a 4-game sweep for Coldwater over Sturgis. In the boys action at Sturgis, the Cardinals won the j-v contest 43-22 with 12 points and 8 rebounds for Nate Waterbury.

MERRILL, Wis. (WSAU) - Merrill city leaders are getting ready to ask the state for a water rate increase.
The city is asking the Public Service Commission permission to raise water rates by $121,000 a year. That's an overall increase of about 10% from the 2010 rates. The move comes after Merrill installed new manganese treatment parts to the city's water treatment. City administrator Dave Johnson says that got pricy. "The addition to the treatment plant was about $2.2 Million and that is a cost we now have to recoup."
Johnson says the manganese is a very unwanted addition to the city's water. "It would leave a black residue when people washed their clothes, or got a glass of water, it would stain toilet bowls, anything where you'd use the water."
The city will be headed to the Public Service Commission later this month to ask for the increase, after a public hearing next week on the issue in Merrill. Johnson says the funding is necessary. "Since it was a request and not something we did on our own, I feel it's a very legitimate cost. And it's something we have to pass on. We can't eat it without additional revenues, we'd have no way to pay for it."
That hearing is set for October 15th at City Hall starting at 10 am. The Commission will appear by phone and will be taking public comment as well as written testimony.

Contemporary's Arcade on the move!
In a bit of news we've been waiting to hear about for weeks, the Food and Fun Center Arcade at the Contamporary will begin moving it's games upstairs to the rennovated location on the 4th Floor Concourse as of today. The current arcade will continue to operate through Friday (4/27/07) as various games are removed and transported. Saturday and Sunday the new location on the 4th floor will be operating in a "soft opening" format during the day, and then finally on Monday (4/30/07) the new arcade is scheduled to Grand Open on the 4th floor concourse at 9am.
The rumored name of the new location will be Contemporary Games. How the "Food" part of the Food and Fun Center will operate going forward is unknown – though the lobby level arcade is ceasing operation.
Contemporary North being Demolished
Confirming the what the permits filed we reported previously stated, the North Garden Wing of the Contemporary Resort is now being demolished.
The buildings closest to Bay Lake is being demolished first, with the areas near the Magic Kingdom and the monorail beam still being stripped prior to demolition.
Raze the Racquet
Disney's Racquet Club at the Contemporary Resort now ceases to exist entirely. The complex located just north of the North Garden Wing of the resort has been demolished and removed from the face of the earth. The facility once provided professional tennis lessons to Disney guests and had superb court facilities.
Contemporary Games concept art
The Fantasia gift shop on the 4th floor concourse of the Contemporary Resort has closed and been surroudned with construction walls. Hanging on those walls is concept art depicting the shop's replacement: Contemporary Games.
Contemporary Games will house the arcade for the resort, replacing the Food and Fun Center, allowing for futher expansion to later develope in that space on the ground level.
Fantasia gift shop at Contemporary to Close
The Fantasia gift shop, offering childrens gifts and plush toys will be closing in order to be converted into a 4th Floor arcade for the Contemporary Resort. Official paperwork for this construction was signed on December 28th, 2006.
This is one of many coming changes to the 4th Floor Concourse at the Contemporary Resort. Earlier, when the Pin Station shop which previously existed on the Concourse was being demolished, the refurbishment walls contained images of the finished 4th Floor Concourse conceptual artwork – rather, how it will appear when all construction phases are complete. These are the photos we took of those images at that time:
The Sundries shop located adjacent to the Fantasia gift shop is mentioned in the paperwork to only be involved minimally in the current phase of construction.
Contemporary Demolition Permit Filed
Since the walls have gone up around the North Garden Wing at the Contemporary Resort there has been some debate as to wether or not the work was for refurbishment akin to the South Garden Wing or demolition to allow for the building of a DVC resort.
Disney filed papers for demolition.
They can be found at THIS LINK.
Contemporary Construction (DVC?) Update
Construction has begun on the North Garden Wing of Disney's Contemporary Resort. Though Disney has not stated that the project is for a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) offering, the STOLport staging site mentioned in a permit filed (see previous updates) which specificly refered to a DVC at Contemporary looks to be under construction as well. At that site, they have cleared land exactly as the permit detailed for trailers and parking lot to (presumably) stage the larger construction at the Contemporary itself. Aside from this hush-hush work, we have the work at the Contamporary itself:
Unlike the previous rennovation of the South Garden Wing, the parking lot of the North Garden Wing has been cleared of divisions and planters, suggesting the building may expand into the parking lot as the original large tower plans for the DVC suggested.
Those familiar with the work being done currently on the building say they are removing all abestos and furnishing still.
Around the rest of the Contemporary other changes are occuring. The 4th floor Concourse remains incomplete, but a small set of shelves has been set up as a temporary shop to fill the large expanse where the Pin Shop once resided. Any clutter near the Mary Blair mural has been removed and the area feels very open on the north end now. They are also repainting the frames of the south atrium windows.
And finally, new CM costumes are starting to roll out for the resort. Housekeeping (pictured below) wear beige/tan shirts with brown pants which match the buildings new painted and wood panel color scheme. Front desk and concierge are expected to soon get a pin stripe suit in a similiar dark brown with baby blue and salmon colored shirts differentiating between concierge and front desk. Currently only housekeeping is wearing the new costumes.
Contemporary DVC building permits filed
The Walt Disney Company filed permits with the local Florida water management system (they are signed 9/5/06) for the staging area of the Contemporary DVC resort.
The permits detail how water run-off and the construction setup for the STOLport staging area (previously a small airstrip to the south of the current Contemporary Resort and next to the Ticket and Transportation Center).
The PDF document can be found at THIS LINK.
Desktop computers in Contemporary Tower
Desktop computers have been reportedly installed in rooms on the 11th floor of the Contemporary tower. They currently allow access to the internet, concierge services, and other hotel related features free of charge.
Contemporary North Wing Construction
We've gotten word that a construction wall/fence has begun installation around the North Garden Wing at the Contemporary Resort. This would be in line with rumor of the DVC resort construction and the closure of the North Garden Wing had heard previously and an October closure date. There has been no official response from Disney however.

Join the Conversation: How important is it to you to eat locally grown produce, or does it matter? To comment go to sacbee.com/sendletter or go to our Facebook page.
ESCADERO The farmer maneuvers his tractor through the field of rainbow chard, heading toward the weather-beaten barn late on a summer afternoon. Behind him, framed against a slate-gray sky, is a ridge covered with Douglas fir and redwoods. Near the barn the farmer's sheepdog, Lucky, lounges in the dirt after greeting me with an enthusiastic bout of tail wagging.
There is a timeless feel to Blue House Farm and its fields a sense that the place might have looked much the same more than a century ago when settlers first cleared the land for farming in this small, coastal valley inland from the town of Pescadero.
But the sort of farming practiced by Ryan Casey is not from a bygone era. In 2005, the University of California, Santa Cruz, graduate and a friend leased four acres of land. From a six-month UCSC postgraduate course on farming and gardening, and from work on other farms, Casey already knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to be an organic farmer.
Today Casey, who grew up far from any farmland in a suburb of San Diego, leases 30 acres spread over four fields 45 miles south of San Francisco, and he runs one of California's 2,518 certified organic farms. The blue house from which the farm got its name is on property that he no longer leases, and his friend has left the business, but Casey, 35, has seen his operation flourish.
To my eye, Casey's farming operation demonstrates a phenomenon far broader than the land he tills and the hundreds of customers who buy his Blue House Farm produce and flowers: His success shows how, increasingly, a market exists in which customers at home and in the restaurants they frequent are seeking produce that tastes good. They are not accepting the idea that farmers need to pick crops green so the product can withstand the time it takes to get to market, and the bumps and bangs of the distribution system that can do considerable damage to ripe fruits and vegetables.
Instead of being mad that grocery store tomatoes often taste like you are eating one of your shoes, people can show their preference by purchasing produce at the ever-increasing number of farmers markets and restaurants that give the customer tasty produce and enable the farmer to take home the profit rather than see it shrunken by the cut taken by middlemen and grocery stores.
All that is enormously important to me. Beyond those benefits, too, when I talk to the experts who monitor this phenomenon, I find something else that means a great deal to me: I hear that this evolving desire for fresh, local, healthy food has been an enormous boon to small farmers, who struggle to survive. This development addresses a fear I have long harbored: Throughout my years of getaway trips driving the rural roads of California, I have gazed at the farmhouses and barns on small plots of land and worried that they might soon vanish as agriculture grows more corporate. Now there is hope.
At Blue House Farm, Casey has nine full-time employees and grows 100 different vegetables. He sells his organic produce and cut flowers at eight farmers markets in Northern California and each week delivers boxed produce to 200 families most of them in San Mateo County, San Francisco and the East Bay.
It is grueling work requiring Casey to be everything from a savvy marketer to a mender of broken farm equipment.
"Despite the challenges," he said, "I believe there's never been a better time to be a new farmer focusing on high-quality, locally grown organic food."
To me, Casey is the embodiment of what is broadly termed the farm-to-table movement, which embraces locally grown produce, eggs and meat, direct purchases from farmers and the importance of eating healthy food coming from a source you can identify preferably a nearby farm or one in your region.
Just four decades ago, I never would have thought this movement possible. In that era I covered the Legislature, and organic agriculture was very much a fringe phenomenon. The state would not even legalize farmers markets until Gov. Jerry Brown and his administration made that happen in the late 1970s.
Numbers tell the story. Today, there are more than 7,800 certified farmers markets in the country, and California leads other states with 827. According to the Organic Trade Association, U.S. organic sales are up from $1 billion in 1990 to $31 billion last year, and the Organic Farm Research Foundation says a decade ago there were 1,443 certified organic farms in California compared with the 2,500-plus today.
The roots of the farm-to-table movement stretch back decades.
"Think back to 1980 when idealistic people came out of the environmental movement some of them farmers, community people, chefs, writers, produce distributors, nonprofit organizations and they played a big role in developing the nation's consciousness about food and agriculture," said Judith Redmond, one of the owners of the organic Full Belly Farm in the Capay Valley northwest of Sacramento.
"It wasn't just one group trying to get this message across, and that is why it is fair to call it a movement," Redmond said. "It has become a real national conversation about food and agriculture and how they relate to the environment and community development."
Since its founding on 120 acres in 1985, Full Belly Farm has grown to a 350-acre venture providing produce deliveries for 1,200 families each week and also selling to restaurants, stores and at the height of the season to wholesale producers as well.
Another farm in the valley, Capay Organic, delivers its produce boxes to 25,000 families each week. A young couple began growing crops in 1976 on 20 acres; today the farm has 450 acres in Yolo County along with 150 acres in Southern California, and it is producing 150 varieties of fruits and vegetables.
Thad Barsotti, one of the couple's sons, said that from the beginning his family "always has grown whatever we thought we could sell, and that was always dictated by what the table asked us. I define 'the table' as people in restaurants, farmers markets or homes.
"Oftentimes, farmers really have no knowledge which table their food will end up on," Barsotti said. "My vision is that one day the vast majority of produce will be purchased in this farm-to-table manner, not in a faceless way that doesn't represent the true source of who grew the product."
The reason the farm-to-table movement is growing, Barsotti said, "is because there are people like my organization who are saying, 'Wow, we can change how the distribution system works by connecting farms directly to people.' "
In recent years, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments has recognized the potential of farm-to-table enterprises. SACOG's Rural-Urban Connections Strategy, among other things, is attempting to document the economic benefits of food that is grown and sold within the area.
David Runsten, policy director for the Community Alliance with Family Farms in Davis, has been fighting on behalf of small acreage farmers for more than 30 years. As he sees it, the farm-to-table movement is the only real answer for both the survival of small farms and for young people and immigrants starting out in the business.
"Small farms had been going out of business for decades, but now people have found a way to compete through small-acreage farms," Runsten said. "There is all this drive for local food production it's growing rapidly and the U.S. government is supporting it. It is good we have this opportunity for people to farm if we didn't have a lot of this direct marketing to consumers, we probably wouldn't have a lot of these small-acreage farms."
At Blue House Farm, Ryan Casey often works from sunrise until dark. "We aren't making millions and don't fool ourselves that we will someday," he said. "But I support myself and my employees as best as I can. This is very much the lifestyle I signed up for. A lot of people like me grew up eating bad tomatoes and canned peas, and now more folks are realizing food doesn't have to taste that way."

Counting on LNG Exports
Piyush is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The shale gas boom in North America brought with it a natural gas production bonanza, which was subsequently followed by the commodity's plunging prices. But Asian countries were not so lucky, and natural gas still costs over $12 per mmBtu there. According to a recent report, Asian demand for LNG accounted for 67% of the world's LNG imports in 2011.
The report also stated that due to higher energy demand, even LNG exporting nations (such as Indonesia and Malaysia) might be required to import LNG. Naturally, exporting natural gas to Asian countries would be a logical move, but the shortage of gas liquefaction capacity in the US prevents this. But Cheniere Energy's (NYSEMKT: LNG) Sabine Pass is the only project that was able to procure necessary permissions and approvals by the Energy Department and FERC.
The Numbers Game
According to this source, "The company reported ($0.19) EPS for the quarter, beating the Thomson Reuters consensus estimate of ($0.26) by $0.07. The company had revenue of $67.42 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $71.50 million."
The company also repurchased its $550 million worth of 7.25% Senior Secured Notes due in 2013, and issued $420 million worth of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due to in 2020. This early repayment led to savings of up to $12.5 million. In order to meet the developing costs, the company recently issued $1.5 billion of 5.625% Senior Secured Notes, which will be due for repayment by 2021. By 2017, its Sabine Pass Terminal is expected to be fully operational, and I don't think that the company will have any sort of debt related worries.
Opening to the Developing World
Cheniere Energy announced that in October, the US Department of Energy authorized it to export around 15 million mtpa of LNG to countries that had Free Trade Agreements (FTA). The US has a strict policy that allows exports to only FTA countries. But the Obama administration made an exception this month, when it permitted LNG exports to India (which doesn't have an FTA).
According to news sources, state-run GAIL India got the permission to ship 3.5 mmpta of LNG from the Sabine Pass Terminal. Naturally Cheniere Energy stands to benefit here, but the Indian government is pushing the US administration to further relax its export policy. Since the US is already struggling with its trade deficit, I think more relaxations might be around the corner, and seeing as Sabine Pass is the leading LNG exporter it would be its prime beneficiary.
Buzz on the Street
Foreseeing the rising energy demand and the need for cleaner fuels, Eni (NYSE: E) and Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) are developing the world's second largest LNG export terminal in Mozambique. The hydrocarbon rich reserves in the region are being considered as one of the greatest gas finds ever, but even then the demand for natural gas is estimated to outpace its supply. This leaves room for both the Sabine Pass and Mozambique projects to operate with mutually exclusive clients and still thrive in the market.
According to its public announcement, Eni plans to spend about $50 billion on the project, but neither Anadarko nor Eni have deep enough pockets to fund such an ambitious project. As a result, Anadarko has decided to sell its 10% stake, and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A) seems to be interested in purchasing it. But since Eni owns nearly a 70% stake in the project, it might be also willing to sell a part of its share to Royal Dutch Shell.
Royal Dutch Shell has huge cash reserves, along with low debt/equity levels. The company is known for its expertise in LNG development, and the management of Eni believes that Royal Dutch Shell could be a great partner.
I think Cheniere Energy only has upside to offer. As the completion date for Sabine Pass approaches, it would be able to secure more willing buyers. The company may not have the best set of financials or fundamentals, but I think the Sabine Pass terminal would be enough to stage a complete turnaround for the company. I think Cheniere Energy is worth a buy rating.

How much should I spend on self-improvement?
A lot of spending on self-improvement is based on wishful thinking -- and it becomes a big waste of money.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
Ah, it's good to be home and finally getting back into something of a routine. As part of that routine, I've been reading hundreds of e-mails, including quite a few reader questions -- like this one from Annie. She writes:
I'm 25, and starting to take personal finance seriously. I'm in graduate school, and am very fortunate to have an educational trust that allows me to do this without loans. Knowing how lucky I am, I live well below the means the trust could provide, hold an intense part-time job, and am working toward a career that will (hopefully) make sure my kids are given the same gift I was -- the freedom to get the finest education they can manage without major debt.
Between my job and my trust, I have a good deal left over every month. I know I should do something productive with this money, but right now I'm mostly spending it on other stuff.
For example:
I'm using some of the extra money for a CBT therapist.
I bought myself a ticket to a museum gala I've always wanted to attend.
I've decided to buy myself a massage once a month.
I don't spend a lot on clothes or waxing or anything like that, because I'd rather do other things. I rarely go out to eat. I don't have a car. I live in an unfashionable part of my city. I have no debt, and I save about $400 every month.
I think I'm doing OK, but I'm spending so much on "self-improvement." Heck, right now I'm also looking at brushing up on Spanish and taking an econ class (for fun!). Plus, I'm thinking about going back to the personal trainer I had for a while to jump-start my physical fitness.
Here's my big question: How much do people spend on "self-improvement" and cultural stuff? How much becomes indulgent? Will I end up regretting all of this later? Does all this dabbling make me a trustifarian dilettante?
Leaving aside Annie's awesome financial situation (cue Napoleon Dynamite voice: "Lucky!" -- I wish I could have been a trustifarian dilettante), I want to address her main question: How much should a person spend on self-improvement?
- Calculator: Is your budget in balance?
I've wondered the same thing. It's no secret that I'm something of a personal-development junkie. I love reading about self-improvement. More than that, I love putting what I read into practice. (Heck, there's even been a self-improvement category at Get Rich Slowly since Day One!)
Still, I recognize that there's a lot of useless information out there. Plus, people like me are inclined to spend on self-help material … and then never act on it. (I may have read tons of books on self-improvement, but I've only acted on a handful.)
Is it OK to spend on self-improvement? Absolutely. But you have to be smart about it. I give myself a little more leeway for self-help spending -- but not too much. It's as easy to spend foolishly here as anywhere else.
Here are a few rules I've made for myself to be certain I'm paying for actual personal development and not for pipe dreams:
- Focus on one thing at a time. I know from experience that it's tempting to tackle a lot of self-improvement at once. This is a recipe for disaster. The more I try to change at once, the less I change at all -- and the more I spend. Instead, I've learned to limit my ambitions. Just as I pursue only one resolution every new year, I try to improve just one or two aspects of my life at a time. Otherwise, I end up spending a lot of money to do nothing.
- Pursue your goals. I want to do everything. I want to speak 15 languages, play a dozen sports, fly an airplane, and sail a boat. But some of these things are just daydreams. Why do I want to fly an airplane? Instead, it makes more sense to spend my time and money on improving things that help me meet my goals. Since I want to travel, for example, I really should learn a language or two. And because I want to lose weight, it's great to spend on a gym. But as much as it appeals to me, there's no point in paying for woodworking classes or power tools. Sure, I'd love to make my own furniture, but that doesn't really mesh with my long-term plans.
- If you don't use it, stop paying for it. A lot of spending on self-improvement is based on wishful thinking. We sign up for a gym, promising that we'll go every day. Then we only go once, but we keep paying. This is foolish. Know yourself. Signing up for a gym won't make you fit. Paying for a computer class won't teach you programming. You still have to put in the time and effort. If you see you're not doing this, ditch them. (And don't worry about sunk costs.)
Also, it's important not to delude yourself. In general, a massage is not a self-improvement expense; it's a luxury. There's nothing wrong with indulging in luxuries now and then, but don't pretend they're something they're not. (I got my first massage two or three years ago because my doctor prescribed it as part of my physical therapy -- I had a running injury -- but subsequent massages are luxuries, pure and simple. If only there weren't a massage therapist in the office next door.)
But, to get back to Annie's question: How much do you spend on self-improvement and cultural activities? I'm not sure what's normal, and I'm curious to hear what readers have to say. (I suspect answers will vary widely.) Kris and I don't spend a whole lot on cultural stuff (except for when we travel), but I probably spend a few hundred dollars a year on self-improvement: books, classes, computer programs, and so on.
What about you? Do you pay for personal development? What sorts of things do you buy? How much do you spend? Which costs are worth it, and which are not? What rules have you developed to be sure you're not wasting your money? What advice can you give Annie about deciding which expenses are worthwhile?
More from Get Rich Slowly and MSN Money:
J.D.: As a massage therapist, I have to weigh in on the comment that 'massage is a luxury'. While it can be use as an indulgence, it also saves many people from unnecessary surgeries, mitigates depression, lowers blood pressure and enhances immunity. (Please visit The Touch Research Institute's web site.) As a therapeutic practitioner I see, day in and day out, how powerful massage therapy is: clients choose (on their own, not from my suggestion) to cancel surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome or low back pain. Mysterious pains that they have treated with pharmaceuticals for years go away. Postpartum depression lifts. Even if none of that applies, I know a massage- friendly cardiologist who says: "It's not the high cholesterol that will kill you, it's the every day stress!" Massage is a very underrated wellness tool with NO negative side affects. That being said, it's important to find the right therapist if you are looking for results-oriented therapy. J.D., are you feeling a little guilty about visiting next door? Is he/she keeping your IT bands in check from all that running? ;) I like your article, and I get what you're saying about choices, but I had to offer the perspective that taking care of yourself is a valid expenditure!
P.S. Why don't you say alcohol or going to the movies is a luxury? OK, enough pontificating. I'm a self-improvement junkie. There should be a 12-step group so I could improve on my improving. I think of self-improvement more as life-enhancement because it gives me pleasure. I like the feeling of tapping my potential. I'm going to estimate I spend $500 a year on a mix of media, seminars, etc. I don't have a budget for it which I know I should. I always learn something about myself even if it's not the concept that's being espoused. I get value from the experience, even if it's just a bridge for conversation. I'm 47 so I'm at a place of choosing more carefully than when I was in my 20s. I would be wary of anything that costs $1000 to 'taste.' For example, seminars that promise radical life change in a weekend. Not gonna happen. I like the advice for exploring what you're really interested in and letting some things slide. If learning something really 'calls' you, it will keep calling you year after year. For example, I've wanted to learn to play the drums my whole life so I finally started taking lessons this summer. I found a great teacher who charges $20 per 30 min lesson. I don't have to commit to a series of lessons -- he's very laid back. All I have to invest in is a set of sticks and a practice pad ($30) I get to do something that is fun, takes my mind off my troubles and helps me hear old music a new way(!) So lots of value there! Listen to your gut and make informed choices and you'll be fine. My only concern would be how you find the time for Spanish and Econ and grad school? Enough cognition already! If you just need a trainer to jumpstart you, then decide up front to limit the number of sessions. I've been there and although I loved my trainer, it was hard to stop (I was using inherited money) and I really was just too lazy to work out on my own (I knew what to do). It's crazy easy to throw money around when you didn't earn it! Will you regret doing/not doing something? Ask yourself: 1. Do I need to do this while I'm young? Trust me, you want to do physically demanding stuff while you're young (rock climbing, learning to surf) Pushing 50, I now have the money for it but I'm heavier and am distracted by the thought of breaking a hip. 2. Is this event/concert/etc. a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? If yes, Go.
As you are still a student, Annie, tailoring your classes to the hottest skills in your field is mandatory. You can find this information out in trade publications or networking groups in your field. Focus on these skills. This sounds disappointing but you should have the skills to get a survival job until you land the desired job in your field. I suggest office or bank teller work as both start around $11-12 an hour. MS Office plus decent 10-key and typing are essential in these jobs and many others. (MS Office is free to download for 30 days from the MS site. You can get the study book free from your library. You can get a $10 typing tutor program at Best Buy or Target.) This can be the job you don't put on your long-term resume if you wish if you are working in a field with a snooty attitude like computer programming, engineering or another creative field.
I say, get to know your local entertainment options. The universities, free day at the museums, festivals, blue jeans concerts nights, gallery openings, coupons for sporting events (check the front desk of restaurants and convenience stores), and community theater offer very nice recreational and social activities. Keep in touch with friends in these avenues to avoid spending too much. Browsing the stores is fine but I recommend leaving your wallet in the car.
The best personal enrichment activities are involvement in one professional organization and one social service or social cause organization. Both look good on a resume. Don't spread yourself too thin and don't take on a whole bunch of projects when you don't have the time, money or transportation. A lot of organizations will totally overwhelm a newcomer with projects due to personal burnout of the founding or more senior members. You end up looking bad in the wrong environment if you let anyone down. Offering to help out with cleanup after an event offers you a great opportunity to shadow the decision makers and gets you a lot of appreciation as a good sport because no one wants to be a cleanup person.
For the post-college crowd, do you like your career or job? If not, get to know what training options are available in your area by taking a class before you sign up for a whole new degree and find out the program is weak. Volunteer in that field as the United Way web sites offer a huge library of opportunities to check out a new field. Try a volunteer vacation. Attend a professional group in that field and talk to the members.
Personal enrichment absolutely requires keeping your career skills up to date for what is required to be cutting edge in your field. Having a can-do attitude can mean taking home the software and a practice book with consent of your management and working through it on your own time.
I do pay for a gym membership. I have used the personal trainer which is free for the first 4 sessions. If you will use this 3 times a week, I think it pays for itself. If the facility includes all the classes, sporting facilities, pools/hot tub, cardio and weights, I think it is a good deal if you don't live in an apartment complex with these amenities.

Enes Kanter scored 23 points and grabbed 22 rebounds, leading the Jazz to a 98-68 victory over the cold-shooting Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
Playing with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap because of injuries, the Jazz started quickly.
Kanter scored six quick points and Utah opened a 9-4 lead. It was 13-9 when Gordon Hayward scored five points during an 8-0 run that gave the Jazz a 21-9 lead.
Charlotte made only four of its 20 field-goal attempts in the first quarter and Kanter finished with eight points and nine rebounds.
The Jazz maintained a 29-15 lead early in the second quarter, when the Bobcats went three minutes without scoring.
Kanter made it 32-15 before Randy Foye buried a three-pointer with 5:25 remaining in the half. It was Foye's 130th three-point shot this season, giving him the franchise's single-season record.
By halftime, Utah enjoyed a 23-point lead behind the play of Kanter, who had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Hayward, who finished with nine points.
In the third quarter, the Jazz owned a 55-32 before failing to convert 11 of 12 possessions. Charlotte got as close as 57-41, but Hayward countered with five straight points and the Jazz cruised home.
Utah improved its record to 32-27 and pulled within one game of Golden State in the race for sixth place in the Western Conference playoff race.

Cool Facts
The bravest animal in the world
According to the Guinness World Records Honey Badger is the bravest animal in the world.
Honey Badgers are notoriously fearless and tough animals known to attack ferociously much larger predators when escape is impossible. They are tireless in combat and can soar much larger animals in physical confrontations. The reluctance of most predators to hunt Honey Badger led to the theory that the fur of small cheetahs evolved to mimic the color of Honey Badger in order to protect themselves from predators.

A 26-year-old man has been charged with shooting another man, who refused to take part in an armed robbery with him, early Sunday outside Wrigley Field, police said.
SEE: Man shot 1 block from Wrigley Field
The suspected shooter, who has distinctive facial tattoos — including a teardrop, a cross, and a White Sox logo — was arrested Monday in the Uptown neighborhood after police officers recognized him from the description given by the victim.
The shooting happened about 3:25 a.m. Sunday in the 1000 block of West Addison Street, police said. The victim, a 25-year-old man, told police that while he, 26-year-old Marcus Harris and another person, were walking down the street across from Wrigley Field, plans were made to rob someone.
But the victim refused to take part and warned a potential robbery victim, according to police. This apparently angered Harris, police said, and when the victim walked away, Harris shot him in the back.
The victim, who police said has gang affiliations, was taken in serious condition to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he remains Tuesday, police said.
Preliminary reports said the shooting occurred in the 3500 block of North Sheffield, outside a 7-Eleven across the street from Wrigley Field.
On Monday, police officers were in the 1000 block of West Argyle when they saw Harris, who matched the victim's description of the shooter, identifiable by his distinctive facial tattoos, and they took him into custody.
Harris, of the 1400 block of South Canal Street, was charged with aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm, obstructing identification, and attempted armed robbery with a firearm. He was expected to appear in bond court Tuesday.

- Great!HappyDinerDined on 9/5/2014I always enjoy having lunch or dinner at El Manantial! The food is always delicious and the staff is always efficient and friendly! I am looking forward to going to their new restaurant soon. Best of luck to them in their new establishment. HappyDinerSpecial Features:
- Farewell El ManantialDickOzDined on 9/4/2014El Manantial has been a favorite for my wife and me since it opened 12 years ago. Unfortunately the Tall Oaks shopping center, in which they are located, has been imploding around them as businesses have closed or moved. BUT, we look forward to seeing the Fuentes family open up in their new location in Herndon with their new name, Europa. To the Fuentes family: thank you for many memorable meals and good times for my wife and me and with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding diningHerndon4diningDined on 9/3/2014El Manantial has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. This is a very warm and friendly, family owned business. The service is as amazing as the food. And we're delighted that soon they are moving to downtown Herndon, where they will become "Europa".Special Features:
- Great food/Poor serviceRestonladyDined on 9/3/2014This was my first and last visit to El Manantial. My girlfriend and I made a dinner reservation for a Thursday night. We were under the impression that the menu contained tapas/small plates. Sadly, we saw the dinner menu my girlfriend ordered soup and salad and I ordered the seafood paella, no wine just iced tea. The waiter's attitude immediately changed when she and I didn't order wine and a three-course meal. We were ignored after placing our order which didn't make an enjoyable meal. While the food was good, the service was not. El Manantial will be relocated soon to Herndon in the former Russian House. We will not be returning to dine there!Special Features:
- Always a WinnerKitty4flitDined on 8/25/2014I've dined at El Manantial several times and I always have the same impression--this is SUCH a terrific restaurant. The menu has lots of options, even for vegetarians like me. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is always outstanding. Dining at El Manantial is a treat.Special Features:
- My Favorite RestaurantSGR1211Dined on 8/22/2014The only restaurant we go to for special celebrations or when we just need a pick me up. Everyone remembers who we are and the food is always fantastic. I love the ambiance and the staff is awesome!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food reasonably pricedMKinVaDined on 8/21/2014Our large party could individually choose between the regular menu and the tapas menu. The wide variety of choices was great. The good was excellent. We had a large party on a weeknight. It was perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sorry they are moving!SuporterDined on 8/18/2014I have enjoyed dining at El Manantial since they opened. It is particularly wonderful for me as I can walk there from my house. Wish them well in Herndon, where I'm sure I will visit, but maybe not quite as often as when they were "in my backyard." I understand that they need to find a better location and have found one, I'm just selfish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always consistent!AFSEcatsDined on 8/16/2014I've never had a bad meal here whether it was seafood, beef, chicken, etc. Service is always good and the waiter's recommendations are accurate.Special Features:
- Best restaurant in RestondavidDined on 8/14/2014El Manantial has got to be the best restaurant in Reston. Outstanding, professional service and food to die for. Great wine list. We go there for special occasions. They are moving to Herndon soon, but I expect the same over there.Special Features:
- UnderwhelmingJohnDined on 8/5/2014For the price point ($160 for three people), I was less than impressed with the quality of the main courses. Tasted very much like banquet food. I had Petit Chateau, fellow diners had the Paella and a fish special. The general consensus was the food was average, i.e. worth about half of what we paid, and fairly bland overall. The service was good, but we were one of only three diners in the entire place so that says a lot. Value wise, it was not worth it to me.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/2/2014We enjoy an evening for special occasions and anytime we have friends looking for a new dining experience we bring them with us. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/2/2014The food was great and I really liked the decor. They are moving soon to a new location so I look forward to seeing what the new place will look like. A much better wine list compared to other places I've been to recently as well.Special Features:
- I love it!!!HappyDinerDined on 8/1/2014This is my favorite restaurant in Reston! The food is always good and the service is fantastic! It is a lovely family-owned restaurant that treats you like you are part of their family. We have had large groups there. We were well-served and our friends were very pleased with the food and the service. Children have been with us at times and they are always welcomed. We look forward to going to their new location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lunch floperickaDined on 7/3/2014My coworkers and I met here for lunch and were excited about trying the tapas. Another one of my coworkers wanted pizza but the oven was not working. Overall the restaurant was nicely decorated but the food served was far from fresh. I was given cut fish to pass for scallops. I've never seen a scallop shaped like s triangle or a square. Needless to say we will not be returning.
- AwesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/28/2014If you can get past the physical location if this place, the dining experience is amazing! Best find in awhileSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- El ManantialAndreaDined on 6/27/2014I really enjoy visiting El Manantial. It has been around for a long time, is family owned and provides great service. I enjoyed the Caesar salad, which is always delicious and had the seafood paella. The paella was okay, not too tasty but enjoyable! I will definitely stick to some of their other offerings on my next visit. The energy level was very low for a Friday evening so I was happy to hear that they are moving soon. I think they need to move based upon the fact that very few people were there. I learned that they are moving to the "old-town Herndon" area where the Russia House used to be located. Estimate move in about 2 months. I'll be back again soon!Special Features:
- Great place for a quiet lunchLunchBunchDined on 6/23/2014We look for restaurants with excellent food and a quiet atmosphere to catch up with friends. The staff was very attentive but not intrusive and did not hurry us. The food was very well prepared and tasty. Portions are large so we all had enough for dinner also. Great Sangria. Will go back. Check when they are moving before heading there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great ServicelisalomboDined on 6/10/2014We read the reviews on this restaurant and booked based on that. Wasn't disappointed. Loved our waiter, didn't push us and let us sit and talk without any rush. Accommodated my gluten allergies. Food was yummy.Special Features:
- Tapas All Day!FrequentDineeDined on 6/7/2014My family and I went here recently to try out their tapas menu after reading so many good reviews. Everything was pretty good and there were a variety of tapas dishes; so we were able to try a little of everything! I suggest the seafood paella, beef medallions, escargot, and crab salad. Also, be ready, although this place is relocating in the near future, it's currently located in an old, small, empty shopping center. Don't be discouraged! In addition to the tapas menu they also offer lunch and dinner menus for larger portions of well prepared food!; but if you're in the mood to try a little of everything, I definitely recommend the tapas menu!

- Fabulous food, perfect service.CucinabellaDined on 6/7/2014Had the pleasure of dining here as a Mothers Day surprise. Returned with a friend and planning to return many times more.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 6/6/2014My wife and I are never disappointed with the food and service at this outstanding restaurant. It is among our very favorites places to eat and relax, as one can tell from my countless reviews. The bottom-line is if you have not been to this place, you absolutely must make the effort to go.

- The following 704 reviews are from the El Manantial reviews archive.
- Hidden GemjsaburkeDined on 5/31/2014For my wife and I's 5th anniversary I was looking for something a little different. I was hoping to find something with some class and style without venturing all the way into DC. After scanning reviews and menus on Open Table, I chose El Manantial. What a great decision it turned out to be! The wine (a Spanish red blend), the meal and the dessert were fabulous. Even better than the food was the personal attention and great service from the waiter and from the co-owner. They were charming and friendly while at the same time allowing us to enjoy our special evening together. They will be moving to Herndon soon and we cannot wait to visit them again in their new location. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Eclectic menuDinechefVIPDined on 5/17/2014The restaurant features a mix of French, Spanish and Mediterranean food.

- Looking forward to new locationSJR1VIPDined on 5/13/2014This place will be moving in July/Aug to Herndon and I'm looking forward to the new location. Tilapia was slightly overcooked as it was too tender and the duck was great but next time I will try it without the Raspberry sauce--it's just too sweet with that. Frog legs were a good choice for appetizer. Service was attentive without being intrusive.Special Features:

- Consistently goodsilverfoxDined on 5/3/2014My husband and I have been dining here since it opened 11 years ago, and it is one of our favorite restaurants. Owner Humberto Fuentes could not be more gracious, and this family- run establishment delivers consistently good food in a lovely atmosphere. The menu is extensive. The duck is always a favorite, as is the mushroom or lobster ravioli appetizer. Their fish dishes are always fresh and delicious. We have enjoyed the wine selection. The staff are friendly, and knowledgeable. We will miss them at their current location, which is close to home, but look forward to dining at their new location in Herndon later this summer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointing, a fine dinnerRetiredDined on 4/26/2014Everything was fresh; the fish special was so good that when I dropped a forkful of the baramundi on the floor, I had to really think about whether to pick it up and eat it. I didn't, but I still wonder if that was the right choice. We asked one of the owners to pick a good bottle of white, dry but fruity, for us, and it was a Spanish wine we didn't know but we enjoyed very much. My spouse and I have eaten here numerous times, often bringing friends, and none of us has never been disappointed. They are moving to Herndon late this summer, and we intend to eat at the new location the first week.Special Features:

Very friendly, good food, great wine list and they are very knowledgeable if you need a recommendation for a good wine with your meal. Order the Apple Tartain when you order your meal for a special dessert treat..otherwise the Raspberry Tart!Special Features:
- A rare findOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/19/2014Stumbled accross this restaurant thanks to Siri. Had no idea it was there. They've done themselves no favor with the name of the restaurant as its 1) hard to pronounce for English speakers and 2) leaves an impression of middle eastern to non-spanish speakers. The food is french/spanish. We had a fabulous Mahi-Mahi and Petit Chateau (two grilled scallops, two shrimp and two beef medallions served with a medley of vegetables, beautifully done, couscous pilaf). The wait staff was pleasant and yet unobtrusive. The kitchen was very accommodating. The Mahi Mahi was on the menu as blackened but they grilled it at my request. A great place for date night.Special Features:

Providence Finishes the 2010-11 Campaign at Home
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins (37-36-3-3, 80 PTS, 5th Atlantic) play the Manchester Monarchs (44-25-4-6, 98 PTS, 2nd Atlantic) this afternoon at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for the final game of the 2010-11 regular season. This year, Providence has been better against Manchester than any other team, taking a 7-2-0-0 record into today's game, including a 4-0-0-0 mark in the Ocean State.
The P-Bruins have won two games in a row behind one-goal victories over the Portland Pirates on Friday night (5-4) and at the Springfield Falcons on Saturday (3-2). Ryan Spooner and Kyle MacKinnon each recorded their first professional goals against Springfield. MacKinnon, a Providence College alum, netted the game-winner less than a minute after Cam Atkinson and the Falcons tied it with five minutes left in the third period. Ryan Button recorded his first professional assist with a hand in Spooner's goal, as did Carter Camper on the winning strike.
The Monarchs won their only other game this weekend on Friday, topping Adirondack 4-1. Portland's 3-2 Shootout victory over Albany Saturday night prevented the Monarchs from winning the Atlantic Division, so Manchester will enter the Calder Cup Playoffs as the number two seed among New England teams.
Jamie Arniel has a P-Bruins' team-high 50 points and 23 goals, while Zach Hamill's 34 assists are seven more than anyone else on the team. Bud Holloway leads all Monarchs scorers with 28 goals and 61 points. Viatcheslav Voynov's 36 helpers are the most for Manchester.
In net, Anton Khudobin is 27-16-2 with a 2.53 GAA and .912 save percentage, plus a couple of shutouts this season. He has an 8-4-1 record with one shutout, a 2.43 GAA and .916 save percentage with Providence. Michael Hutchinson is 13-10-1 with a 3.13 GAA, .904 save percentage and one shutout. Martin Jones leads the Monarchs in all goaltending categories, with a 23-12-1 record, 2.25 goals against average, .924 save percentage and four shutouts. Jeff Zatkoff isn't far behind with a 20-16-5 mark, a 2.67 GAA, and a .911 save percentage, adding three shutouts this season.
Arniel has the most points (10) and assists (8) of any player in the season-series. Former P-Bruin Joe Colborne had six goals against the Monarchs this season, and Kirk MacDonald is the current leader with three. Brandon Kozun also has three lamp-lighters to lead his team in that category. Oscar Moller, who is currently up with the Los Angeles Kings, was tied for the team-lead in goals (3) and had team-highs in assists (6) and points (9). David Kolomatis and Justin Azevedo have three helpers each, and Kolomatis is tops on the Monarchs with five points against his former club.
Between the pipes, Hutchinson and Khudobin are both undefeated against Manchester. Hutchinson is 3-0-0 versus the New Hampshire club, and has an even 1.00 GAA to go with a .966 save percentage. Khudobin won his only contest versus the Monarchs, allowing two goals in a 3-2 shootout victory for Providence. He saved 94.4% of the shots he faced that game, and also blocked 10 of the 14 shots in the shootout. Zatkoff has fared better than Jones against Providence this year. Each netminder has one win, but Zatkoff has a 2.31 GAA and a .932 save percentage to go with his 1-2-2 record. Jones is 1-3-0, allowing 3.22 goals per game while saving 89.6% of the P-Bruins' attempts on net.
The P-Bruins rank 30th in the AHL on the power play (13.1%) and 27th on the penalty kill (78.6%). The Monarchs are 15th on the man advantage (18.7%) and 4th when killing off penalties (85%).
The P-Bruins would like to thank all of their fans and sponsors for supporting the team this season. The games may be over for 2010-11, but visit the website to keep up to date on player and mascot appearances throughout the off-season.

A manufacturing report shows improvement. Pending home sales rise for the 4th month. Ford sales decline.
Updated at 3:20 p.m. ET
Stocks were rallying this afternoon, thanks to solid gains in technology, food and consumer staples shares.
But the major indexes were off their highs, and volume was light ahead of the July 4 holiday weekend. In addition, many investors were waiting for Thursday's unemployment and payrolls report.
Investors cheered good reports on manufacturing and housing and seemed happy that auto sales were not as bad as expected.
At 3:20 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was up 75 points, or 0.9%, to 8,522. The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) had added 15 points, or 0.8%, to 1,850, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) had gained 6 points, or 0.7%, to 926.
The Dow had been up as many as 133 points in the morning.
Food stocks rose sharply after General Mills (GIS) reported better-than-expected results and issued strong guidance for 2010.
Kraft (KFT) was the top performer among the 30 Dow stocks, up 5.4% to $26.70.
The second quarter was a stellar one for stocks. The S&P 500 ended the quarter with a 15.2% gain -- its best performance since the fourth quarter of 1998.
The Dow gained 11% in the quarter, its best quarterly increase since the second quarter of 2003, and the Nasdaq surged 20.1%, also the best quarterly performance since the 2003 second quarter.
"We're pretty upbeat on the market," David Katz, chief investment officer at Matrix Asset Advisors, told Bloomberg Radio. "We're fairly comfortable with this coming earnings season and think companies are going to do OK."
The stock surges on the news.
Shares of truck maker Oshkosh (OSK) soared $4.05, or 27.9%, to $18.59 this afternoon after the Pentagon said late Tuesday that Oshkosh won a $1.06 billion contract from the Defense Department to make bomb-resistant vehicles for the Army.
It was the biggest gain for the stock in a whopping 23 years.
Oshkosh said the contract is for 2,244 M-ATV vehicles -- mine-resistant armored-protected all-terrain vehicles, which are designed for the extreme mobility and durability the Army needs to protect soldiers from roadside bombs in Afghanistan. Oshkosh said it began production on its manufacturing line a few weeks ago.
A manufacturing report shows improvement. Pending home sales rise for the 4th month. Ford sales decline.
The bulls were out in force today, the first day of the third quarter and the second half of the year.
Investors cheered good reports on manufacturing and housing.
At 1:10 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was up 106 points, or 1.3%, to 8,555. The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) had added 23 points, or 1.2%, to 1,858, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) had gained 10 points, or 1.1%, to 929.
The second quarter was a stellar one for stocks. The S&P 500 ended the second quarter with a 15.2% gain -- its best performance since the fourth quarter of 1998. The Dow gained 11% in the quarter, its best quarterly increase since the second quarter of 2003, and the Nasdaq surged 20.1% last quarter.
Shares of the biotech plunge on the outlook.
Updated at 1:15 p.m. ET
Myriad Genetics (MYGN) late Tuesday warned that total molecular diagnostic revenue, which makes up most of the company's revenue, will be about $86 million in its fiscal fourth quarter, below Wall Street's estimate of $92 million.
The company also said molecular diagnostic revenue for its full fiscal year, which ended Tuesday, will be about $326 million, down from its previous forecast of about $330 million and short of analysts' expectations for $336.8 million.
The nation's biggest newspaper company is hit by slumping ad sales.
Updated at 1:15 p.m. ET
Gannett (GCI) is cutting more of its staff, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The paper late Tuesday said Gannett, which owns more than 80 daily newspapers, will eliminate 1,000 to 2,000 jobs as the company faces further declines in advertising sales. The cuts will come from the U.S. Community Publishing division, the paper reported, citing a person close to the situation.
The company says its drug was not effective enough.
Updated at 1:15 pm ET
Drug giant Pfizer (PFE) late Tuesday said it is discontinuing a late-stage trial of its drug Sutent for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.
The trial involved adding Sutent to the chemotherapy drug Folfiri for patients with advanced colon cancer. Pfizer said it decided to discontinue the trial because it was unlikely Sutent would show a statistically significant improvement over patients taking Folfiri alone.
A new report shows that companies are planning fewer layoffs.
By Elizabeth Trotta, TheStreet.com
(Updated at 10:20 ET)
Stocks in New York started the second half of the year with modest gains after a drop in planned layoffs in the U.S. helped offset bigger-than-expected job losses in June.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 86.1 points to 8533, while the S&P 500 Index added 9.3 points to 929. The Nasdaq Composite tacked on almost 20 points, rising to 1855.
Industrial and energy stocks were among those leading the Dow, with Alcoa, Caterpillar, Chevron and Exxon Mobil gaining more than 1%.
American companies cut 473,000 jobs in June, worse than the 394,000 expected, according to ADP's report on private sector unemployment. However, job losses were down from a revised 485,000 in May and also marked the lowest number of estimated jobs lost since October. Government data scheduled for Thursday is expected to show unemployment rose to 9.6%.
Helping to offset the greater-than-expected private sector job losses, outplacement consultant Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that planned layoffs at U.S. firms fell 33% in June from May, marking the fifth consecutive month planned headcount reductions have declined.
The major indices ended the second quarter with double-digit gains that marked the best quarterly improvement in years. Nonetheless, Tuesday's session -- the last for the quarter and June -- ended on a dim note as stocks sank on an unexpected drop in consumer confidence.
Stocks had a great 2nd quarter, especially banks and tech companies. For the market to move higher requires a real economic recovery.
There are two ways to look at what happened to stocks in the second quarter.
Their gains were part of an enormous relief rally -- relief that the global financial system survived the panic that erupted when investment bank Lehman Bros. collapsed.
The other explanation is simple. Stocks had become so outrageously cheap that they had to go up.
Either way, the rally that erupted on March 9 in the United States was impressive, with the Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) up 11% in the quarter and 29% from March 9.
But the easy money has been made. Going forward will be tougher. Here's why.
