ITC Limited or ITC is an Indian conglomerate headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal.[3] Its diversified business includes five segments: Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Hotels, Paperboards & Packaging, Agri Business & Information Technology.[7]
Established in 1910 as the Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited, the company was rechristened as the Indian Tobacco Company Limited in 1970 and further to I.T.C. Limited in 1974. Finally, the periods in the name were removed in September 2001 for the company to be renamed as ITC Ltd.[2] The company completed 100 years in 2010[8][9][10][11] and as of 2012-13, had an annual turnover of US$ 8.31 billion[12] and a market capitalisation of US$ 45 billion.[6] It employs over 25,000 people[6] at more than 60 locations across India and is part of Forbes 2000 list.

ITC was formed on 24 August 1910 under the name of Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited,[2] and the company went public on 27 October 1954.[1] The earlier decades of the company's activities centered mainly around the manufacture of tobacco products and their sales. However, owing to a decline in government support for producers and manufacturers of tobacco in the post-independence era,[13] the company starting looking towards other avenues of operations. In the 1970s, it began making a foray into select non-tobacco businesses while at the same time making an attempt to reduce the foreign equity holding in the company to about 40%.[1]
In 1975, the company entered the hotels business with the acquisition of a hotel in Chennai, which was rechristened as the 'ITC-Welcomgroup Hotel Chola' (now renamed to MyFortune, Chennai).[2] In 1979, ITC entered the paperboards business by promoting ITC Bhadrachalam Paperboards Limited.[1] The company was absorbed into ITC as the Bhadrachalam Paperboards Division in 2002[14] and is today one of the leading paperboard manufacturers in India.[15]
In 1985, ITC set up Surya Tobacco Co. in Nepal as an Indo-Nepali and British joint venture, with the shares divided between ITC, British American Tobacco and various independent domestic shareholders in Nepal.

In 2000, ITC forayed into the Greeting, Gifting and Stationery products business with the launch of Expressions range of greeting cards.[17] A line of premium range of notebooks under the brand Paperkraft was subsequently launched in 2002, while the Classmate series was launched in 2003 ostensibly to reach a wider consumer group.[18] In 2008, ITC repositioned the business as an Education and Stationery Products Business and launched India's first environment friendly premium business paper under the "Paperkraft" brand.[2]
In 2000, ITC entered the lifestyle retailing business with the Wills Sport range of casual wear for men and women.[19] Also in 2000, the company spun off its information technology business into a wholly owned subsidiary, ITC Infotech India Limited, to more aggressively pursue emerging opportunities in IT and IT-enabled services area.[20]

ITC's Agri-Business is one of India's largest exporters of agricultural products. ITC is one of the India's biggest foreign exchange earners (US $5.4 billion in the last decade). The Company's 'e-Choupal' initiative is enabling Indian agriculture significantly enhance its competitiveness by empowering Indian farmers through the power of the Internet. This transformational strategy, which has already become the subject matter of a case study at Harvard Business School, is expected to progressively create for ITC a huge rural distribution infrastructure, significantly enhancing the Company's marketing reach.[57]
The company places computers with Internet access in rural farming villages; the e-Choupals serve as both a social gathering place for exchange of information (choupal means gathering place in Hindi) and an e-commerce hub. What began as an effort to re-engineer the procurement process for soy, tobacco, wheat, shrimp, and other cropping systems in rural India has also created a highly profitable distribution and product design channel for the company—an e-commerce platform that is also a low-cost fulfillment system focused on the needs of rural India. The e-Choupal system has also catalyzed rural transformation that is helping to alleviate rural isolation, create more transparency for farmers, and improve their productivity and incomes.[citation needed]
ITC e-choupal creatively leverages information technology to set up a meta-market in favour of India's small and poor farmers, who would otherwise continue to operate and transact in 'un-evolved' markets.
As of July 2010, services through 6500 Echoupal across 10 states, reach more than 4 million farmers in about 40,000 villages. Free access to Internet is also opening windows of rural India to the world at large.
ITC e-choupal is now being regarded as a reliable delivery mechanism for resource development initiatives. Its potential is being tested through pilot projects in healthcare, educational services, water management and cattle health management with the help of several service providers including non-governmental organizations. In 2008, this initiative was recognised in the list of "Innovations to make markets more inclusive for the poor" in World Development Report Sep-2008 by World Bank.[58]
- Philanthropy:
Classmate notebooks were launched with the initiative of contributing 1 rupee towards the education of poor children,from every four notebooks it sold.

Absinthe Julep, Maison Premiere, Williamsburg
This summer Cocktail
, made with Lucid Absinthe, Creme de Mures (a blackberry-flavored liqueur), sugar and mint, has a clean, refreshing flavor that will make you smile as you descend into madness.
First Course
Pickled Pig Tongue, M. Well's, Astoria
The tangy, vinegary blast from the pickled pig tongue from Chef Hugue Dufour (formerly of Montreal's acclaimed Au Pied de Cochon), simply presented with a streak of mustard, is the best way to wake up your taste buds at the start of a long meal.
Second Course
Red Mustard Greens with Guanciale, Egg Yolk and Botarga from Roberta's, Bushwick
A lot of people don't realize the pizzas are probably the least exciting things on the menu at Roberta's. Case in point: This amazing salad, made up of pleasantly peppery red mustard greens, tiny bits of guanciale ("face bacon") and subtle botarga served over runny egg yolk.
Third Course
Ravioli Stuffed with Mozzarella, Chicory and Pancetta from Roman's, Fort Greene
Roman's might be my favorite restaurant from the Marlow & Son's empire, and the handmade, supple ravioli stuffed with a savory mix of mozzarella, chicory and salty pancetta might be my favorite dish on their menu.
Fourth Course
Red Wattle Country Chop from Vinegar Hill House, Dumbo
The meat cut from the Red Wattle pig, a large breed with a funny-looking wattle hanging from its neck, is leaner and juicier than most kinds of pork, almost like a good steak. Here it's cut into thick slabs and served with a slightly sweet bacon-filled sauerkraut.
Fifth Course
Compost Cookie from Momofuku Milk Bar, Williamsburg
When it comes to dessert, I don't like a lot of pomp. Just hand me a cookie, in this case made from Christina Tosi's masterful everything-but-the-kitchen-sink recipe (chips, pretzels, chocolate, etc.), and I'll be happy.

The financial terms of the deal remain confidential, but the US-based giant said it bought software called Hospital 2000 and its intellectual-property rights from Luxembourg-based software company Global Care Solutions.
Global Care has worked with hospitals in this country for seven years. Its 71 Thailand staff will also move with the deal.
Bumrungrad, which owns 14 per cent of Global Care, saw its share price rise Bt1 yesterday to Bt45.50.
Microsoft (Thailand) managing director Patama Chantaruck said the company would establish a healthcare research centre in Bangkok and work with Microsoft centres in China and India. The Bangkok centre will work exclusively on healthcare software for worldwide sales.
"Global Care software is unique and developed to run on a Microsoft platform," Patama said.
Thailand will be a springboard to expand into healthcare markets in Asia, especially China, and around the world, the company said.
In Thailand, the company will seek to sell software to both public and private hospitals, Patama said.
Craig Mundie, Microsoft Corp's chief research and strategy officer, said his company would distribute Global Care products internationally, along with others developed by Microsoft.
The healthcare industry spends US$30 billion (Bt1 trillion) each year on hardware and software worldwide. It is becoming a
flagship product area for Microsoft, he said.
Peter Neupert, vice president of Microsoft Corp's healthcare group, said Global Care's products would make a "great addition" to Microsoft's portfolio of health-enterprise products as the company looked to power developing and emerging hospital systems around the globe.
Global Care's Hospital 2000 is an electronic-record system. Its integrated document imaging and delivery allows instantaneous scanning, storage and retrieval of both electronically generated and handwritten material.
It serves both front- and back-office operations, including radiology, laboratories, pharmacies, discharges and transfers, registration administration and clinics and wards.
Global Care sold the software to seven hospitals in five Southeast Asian countries: Bumrungrad, Singapore General Hospital, KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Franco Vietnamese Hospital, Changi General Hospital, Assunta Hospital and Asian Hospital and Medical Centre.
Bumrungrad told The Wall Street Journal's Asian edition that the software helped it manage billing and medical records in several languages and cut waiting times to see doctors to an average of 17 minutes. The hospital treats more than 1.2 million patients a year from countries all over the world, it said.

Rethink Networking
Posted on | August 8, 2014 | No Comments
by Mary Ann Miller, President/CEO, Tempe Chamber of Commerce
Last week, I spent three days in Sedona at the Arizona Chamber Executives conference with about 50 of my cohorts. We learned about new trends in organizations in engaging members, public/private/nonprofit partnerships, and increasing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. We talked politics at the state and federal levels, discussed the upcoming election and drafted a statewide business agenda. We had breakout sessions on non-dues revenue, dues schedules and professional certification. In short, we had a productive, informative formal experience.
Equally important, if not more so, were the discussions that took place outside the sessions, during breaks and over breakfast and dinner. The sharing of new programs and old challenges. The transfer of information from folks who have been in the industry for awhile to those with much less experience. The recognition of common challenges across all sizes of organizations, and the realization of the mutual support of peers.
Too often, we categorize networking as a way to drum up business. It becomes an event to bring together buyers and suppliers, a passing of business cards, a transaction.
But networking is so much more than that. It is a touchstone for your career, a sharing of ideas and challenges. It's a method of seeking and giving advice, a widening of options and a confirmation of your path. It is a way to discover that while your idea may be a bit crazy, no one has come up with anything better.
This is the networking of shared experiences and supportive discussions. It can be practiced in more formal setting like our Business Owners Forum, and it should also be considered during more informal mixers. As you're meeting new people and exchanging cards, think not just of how you can do business, but of how you can mentor to and learn from the people you meet.
Wishing you great success,
Mary Ann Miller

LED Lighting Solutions – Money Saving and Energy Effective
Posted on | July 25, 2014 | No Comments
By Casey Bourassa, Inspired LED
Lighting has become a key factor in the movement to reduce energy consumption, specifically the growing demand of low voltage lighting as we move into a more energy efficient future. Incandescent and florescent bulbs are quickly fading as light sources of the past, driven out of the market by a new hot commodity: LEDs. As a lower cost alternative that consumes less energy, LEDs are becoming the main light source in all lighting applications. Having several different physical forms, LEDs are a versatile option in applications ranging from commercial offices, to retail buildings and restaurants, even to everyday use within residential homes.
Benefits of LEDs
Much research has been put into the advantages of using LEDs, and researchers have compared the benefits of upgrading from analog to digital technology, with the upgraded use of this new "digital" light being both rewarding to the users, as well as our planet. LEDs have several benefits as listed below:
Long Life – LEDs are widely known for their exceptionally long operational life ranging from 80,000–100,000 hours (or to put it more realistically, a continuous operation of 11–12 years). In addition to a long operational life, LEDs do not burn out like standard lighting. Instead, LEDs tend to become less bright over time as their output levels slowly become less and less.
Durable - LEDs are much more rugged than traditional lighting. Because they do not use glass or filaments, they are more resistant to vibrations, shock, and severe temperature changes. This ability to stand up to dramatic temperatures fluctuations allows their versatility to be used in extreme outdoor weather conditions, as well as everyday use indoors.
Environmentally Friendly – Many traditional and florescent bulbs contain mercury–an extreme environmental threat–but LEDs are manufactured without the use of any toxic or environmentally threating materials. They also reduce your carbon footprint by being 100% recyclable and are considered earth-friendly.
Color Changing – LED light is offered in an array of colors, the foundation of which are red, green, and blue. There are also diodes (RGB) that contain all three colors that can be manipulated to nearly any color imaginable.
Efficiency – Energy efficiency is the leading benefit of LED lighting. LEDs are estimated to consume 90% less power than traditional lighting, meaning they operate at only a fraction of the energy an incandescent bulb uses.
In addition to the benefits listed above, LEDs emit low amounts of heat and generally have an extremely low profile. Couple this with easy installation, design flexibility, and zero UV emissions, and choosing LEDs as a light source is an eco-friendly no brainer. Read more

Tempe Chamber of Commerce Releases Candidate Endorsements: City Council, District 18
Posted on | July 10, 2014 | No Comments
In the 2014 Tempe City Council race, the Tempe Chamber is endorsing Robin Arredondo-Savage, Shana Ellis and Dick Foreman for election. Council candidates can be elected outright in the August 26 Primary by receiving a majority of votes cast. The general election takes place on November 4th.
In the contested Republic primary race in Legislative District 18, which covers south Tempe, the Chamber has endorsed Jeff Dial for Senate, and Bob Robson and John King for House. The winner of the Republic primary will move on to the November 4 General Election.
"We are fortunate to have a number of quality candidates willing to represent Tempe at the city and state levels," said Mary Ann Miller, president/CEO of the Tempe Chamber. "The endorsed candidates are most attuned to the needs of businesses in our community and will do the best job in representing business of all sizes."
Candidates were evaluated on a wide range of issues, including economic development, taxation and education. Written questionnaires, in-person interviews and voting records were weighed by the Chamber board in order to choose candidates for the available seats.
"We are confident these individuals will be strong representatives of the business community," Miller continued. "Their talents and abilities will be valuable assets in fulfilling the Chamber's objective of promoting the best interests of business."
Early voting in the primary begins July 31. Independent voters and other voters not registered with a recognized political party must request a party ballot of their choice or a City-only ballot. To request a ballot, call 602-506-1511 or visit www.recorder.maricopa.gov.

Welcome to Our New Chairman of the Board, Kristine Kassel
Posted on | June 27, 2014 | No Comments
Message from the Chairman of the Board
Kristine Kassel, Benefits by Design
A thank you for the opportunity to chair the Tempe Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors this year. I look forward to using my business and leadership knowledge to help all our members move forward through the excitement and challenges that lie ahead. I especially look forward to working with the Chamber staff. They have many years of experience at the Tempe Chamber, which is hard to find in today's economy. Their professionalism and excellent customer service help support a great board of directors and a wonderful membership. I thank each of the staff members for all they do every day to make our jobs easier.
I would like to share with you a little bit about myself. My parents moved to Tempe from Michigan in the late '60s, so I was born a Tempe resident. After staying in my own backyard for college (I attended Arizona State University), I decided to also raise my family in Tempe. I started my own health insurance agency 17 years ago, Benefits by Design, and our office is in Tempe. I never could have become an entrepreneur without a partner like the Tempe Chamber. As you can see, I truly love everything about Tempe and especially all the opportunities that have been offered in the past and those available today. Read more

Tempe Chamber of Commerce Urges Congress to Reauthorize the Export-Import Bank
Posted on | June 26, 2014 | No Comments
The Tempe Chamber of Commerce has joined with organizations from across the country in sending a letter urging Congress to swiftly reauthorize the Export-Import Bank
(Ex-Im). The bank, which provides loans and loan guarantees when other financing is not available, will see its charter lapse on September 30 unless Congress acts.
The letter, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers, was signed by more than 800 chambers, companies and associations across the country, showing the overwhelming support for Ex-Im from American companies of every size, sector, and region.
The benefits that the Export-Import Bank provides for businesses in Arizona are vital for maintaining competitiveness and expanding opportunities for growth. For these companies, especially small businesses, to be able to compete globally, they need Ex-Im's help to reach foreign markets and customers.
If Congress fails to reauthorize Ex-Im, American companies would be put at a disadvantage in global markets, resulting in lost sales and lost jobs. We are urging members of Congress to act quickly to support American jobs and reauthorize Ex-Im.
Last year Ex-Im supported $37 billion in exports that in turn sustained more than 200,000 American jobs at 3,400 companies. The Bank's support is especially important to small and medium-sized businesses, which account for nearly 90 percent of the Bank's transactions.
More information on how Ex-Im benefits state and local economies is available here.

CHEF'STORE opens new location in Tempe
Posted on | June 13, 2014 | No Comments
By Melody Johnson, VP of Membership Development
Have you noticed that the once-vacant building just south of McClintock High School has regained its lost appeal? Surrounding businesses and residents are delighted to see the anchor slot filled with the vibrant colors of US Foods' CHEF'STORE, once again bringing balance to the corner of McClintock and Southern.
US Foods (the nation's second largest food distributor) is responsible for the project. Their National Service Center employing upwards of 600 people resides here in Tempe. CHEF'STORE is a concept which originated in Charlotte, N.C., in 2012. It has since expanded to locations in Columbia, S.C., and Oklahoma City, Okla., and its fourth location will open to the public in Tempe on June 19.
"We have been highly successful in the hiring process thus far," explained Michael Ayers, general manager of the Tempe location. They have recently hired over 50 employees, seeking to fill a handful of remaining positions before opening.
Ayers has been with the company since November 2013 and has been in the wholesale club business for 20 years. He touts the clean, bright store, wide aisles and friendly staff. "To echo our tagline, we're about 'great food, wholesale prices'."
What to expect from CHEF'STORE:
CHEF'STORE is a restaurant supply warehouse designed to service restaurants, caterers and food service owners/operators. However, the individual customer can take Read more

2014 Election Pledge
Posted on | June 5, 2014 | No Comments
By Mary Ann Miller, President/CEO, Tempe Chamber of Commerce
Signatures are in and we now know who will be on the ballot in the Aug. 26 Primary Election. Many of the signs are up, mailers are being printed, and we're just caller ID away from incessant robocalls. Over the long hot summer we'll be inundated with opportunities to learn more about the candidates, and they'll be knocking on doors, asking for our votes. Invite them in and offer them a glass of water. You may not agree with their politics, but take the opportunity to tell them of your concerns.
This year we'll vote for offices ranging from Congress to school board. For the first time, Tempe City Council elections will coincide with statewide races. It is our individual responsibility to learn about the candidates and issues and vote for the people we feel will best represent us.
So it's time for me to dust off my election pledge for candidates and voters. We need to rise above the finger-pointing and blame-throwing. I challenge you to think about this pledge as you speak and as you post to Facebook:
- I pledge to believe that those who disagree with me are good people.
- I pledge to understand that someone who disagrees with me is not out to get me.
- I pledge not to judge sound bites, but to determine the full context of a statement.
- I pledge to acknowledge that just because you don't support one candidate (or congressman or president), it doesn't mean you like his/her opponent/predecessor.
- I pledge to show respect to the office and whoever holds it, even though I may be working the other side of an issue.
- I pledge not to say anything about a candidate that I wouldn't want said about my mother or child.
- I pledge not to use "the other candidate started it" as an excuse for my own behavior.
- I pledge not to do anything I berated another administration or candidate for doing.
- I pledge to recognize the difference between flip-flopping and having a reasoned change of opinion based on information and experience.
- I pledge to acknowledge that compromise does not mean having everyone agree with you and that voting with another party takes courage and is not caving.
- I pledge to realize that legislation is often so complex that there are multiple understandable reasons to oppose it.
- I pledge to prove wrong the people who say that going negative works.
Congratulations to all the candidates who have made the ballot. Thank you for caring enough to run.
Mary Ann Miller

Men's basketball run ends as it falls to Kentucky in Sweet Sixteen
By Annie Moore
The Louisville men's basketball team saw its season come to an end in the Sweet Sixteen against in-state rival Kentucky, 74-69. The loss marked what head coach Rick Pitino called 'the end of an era'.
"We've done a lot of celebrating, so we're going to be gracious in defeat," Pitino said. "It's the end of an era."
The game marked the last for seniors Russ Smith, Luke Hancock, Tim Henderson and Stephan Van Treese. It also marked the probable end for sophomore Montrezl Harrell — who will be discussing with his family and Coach Pitino options for his future, including entering the NBA.
Louisville led its final game of the season for 37 minutes, but Kentucky won the battle on the boards and with all of the Cards' big men in foul trouble, the Wildcats drove in the paint to take the lead down the stretch.
"It hurts," Harrell said. "For us to be that close, to have a lead like that and give it right back, it just hurts. There's no other way you can put it."
Smith finished his final game as a Cardinal with a team-leading 23 points, three assists and two rebounds. Hancock had 19 points, and Harrell had 15 points and eight rebounds.
"I just want to be looked at as a great competitor," Smith said. "I respect the game a lot, and whatever it is, I just want it to be a positive legacy."
Van Treese weighed in on his teammate of four years, and what he thinks Smith's legacy will be.
"[Smith] is a Louisville legend, they should probably hang his jersey up," Van Treese said. "He's one of those types of players that is very rare to come into someone's program and do the things he's done."
Julius Randle, Dakari Johnson and Aaron Harrison all had 15 points for Kentucky. Andrew Harrison added 14 points and seven assists. Randle also added 12 rebounds, while the Harrison twins added eight rebounds.
The Cards finished the season 31-6, none of its losses were by more than nine points.

The Red Sox signed Chris Capuano to a one year, $2.25 million Major League contract, presumably in reaction to the news that Ryan Dempster will sit out the 2014 season due to health and family issues.
Today, John Farrell told the media that Capuano's role will be very similar to what Dempster's would have been. MassLive.com's Jason Mastrodonato says that the lefty will be used as a sort of swingman – a sixth starter and a bullpen option. Earlier this month, Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves told MLB Network Radio that the potential exists to have a six-man rotation in Boston.
The 35-year old Chris Capuano will be going into his 10th year in the big leagues, having spent time with the Diamondbacks, Brewers, Mets and most recently, the Dodgers. Last season, Capuano made 20 starts, pitching to a 4-7 record with a 4.26 ERA. He had a much better 2012, going 12-12 with a 3.72 ERA over 33 starts.

- 64-bit PC (AMD64) Wubi filesystem archive
- Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead.

With filming set to kick off in June, Noah Baumbach just lost two huge names from his gestating relationship dramedy "While We're Young."Read More »
Filming Begins Next SummerWhile we'll always long for the never-made version of "Greenberg" with Mark Ruffalo and Amy Adams, the fact that Ben Stillerand Noah Baumbach are now total besties means that financing probably comes much, much easier for the indie auteur, and if that means he gets more films greenlit, then who are we to complain? It was with much excitement that reports broke earlier in the month that Baumbach was quickly gearing up another film, "While We're Young," a relationship film (shock!) with Ben Stiller and James Franco set to star, and with offers out to both Cate Blanchett and Greta Gerwig. And while we love both actresse...Read More »
Offers Out To Greta Gerwig & Cate BlanchettIt seems Noah Baumbach and Ben Stiller are new BFFs.

I reviewed countless websites before purchasing two of these bar stools. I wanted something that was simple, medium quality, sturdy, and relatively inexpensive. I settled on these stools and am exceedingly happy with the purchase. While they are not commercial quality, they are certainly made well enough for an in-home application (mine are in my basement bar). And they appear to be commercial quality; your guests won't be able to tell the difference between these and the ones at the local bar. I highly recommend this product.

Final Score: Boston 88, Toronto 83
Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jared Sullinger poured in 25 points and
pulled down a career-high 20 rebounds as the Boston Celtics held on for an
88-83 win over the Toronto Raptors.
Avery Bradley added 20 points, Kris Humphries had 12 points and eight boards
and Phil Pressey dished out 10 assists in his first career start for the
Celtics, who snapped a nine-game skid.
"After awhile, when you lose so much and you're not used to losing, the
competitive nature takes over, and that's what happens to me," Sullinger said.
Earlier Wednesday, Boston shipped guards Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks to
Golden State as part of a three-team trade that also involved Miami. Boston
received Miami forward Joel Anthony and will also get a protected future
first-round pick and Miami's 2016 second-round pick in the deal, as well as
cash considerations.
Miami received Warriors guard Toney Douglas in the swap.
DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points, Kyle Lowry had 18 points, 12 assists and seven
rebounds and John Salmons added 13 points off the bench for the Raptors, who
had won three straight entering the game.
"They had 19 offensive rebounds. Can't win games when you give up 19 offensive
rebounds," Lowry said. "They outworked us tonight, which is rare for us. It
stinks, guys are mad but they should be."
The Celtics led 73-56 at the start of the fourth quarter, but saw their edge
evaporate to just three points after Steve Novak drained a 3-pointer to cap an
18-4 run.
Boston pushed its spread back to seven, 81-74, with 2:45 left, but the Raptors
wouldn't go away, cutting the deficit to three several times over the closing
After Lowry cleaned up a DeRozan miss to make it 86-83 with seven seconds
left, Boston was able to pass the ball around four five seconds before
Brandon Bass was fouled and knocked down the subsequent free throws to seal
the win.
Toronto led 25-23 after the first quarter, but was outscored 22-16 in the
second to go into the break trailing 45-41. The Celtics led by as many as 18
in the third.
Game Notes
Boston outrebounded the Raptors by a 58-44 margin ... Boston outscored the
Raptors 32-24 in the paint ... Toronto was just 12-for-25 from the free throw

Amazon has announced that it will be holding a special event on 6 September in Santa Monica, California, but has not expanded on what it will be revealing. The simple invitation says "Please join us for an Amazon Press Conference", and nothing else.
The company isn't one for press conferences that aren't related to its hardware, so we can speculate that we'll be seeing the Kindle Fire 2. The second version of Amazon's cheap tablet has been rumoured for a while, and due to falling sales and the introduction of the Google Nexus 7, a sequel can't come soon enough for Amazon.
Possible features include a quad-core processor, at least one camera and possibly two different models, one with a 7-inch screen and another with a 10-inch panel. As Amazon has repeatedly done with its Kindle eReaders, the specification will be improved but the price will likely remain the same – $199 for the base model in the USA.
However, we're hoping Amazon will see sense and release the Kindle Fire in the UK, where the Nexus 7 is currently cleaning up in the low-cost tablet market. Although several of Amazon's services that make the Kindle Fire so attractive in the USA aren't available in the UK, it's the same story with the Nexus 7, and that hasn't stopped many people from buying it.
Amazon could also use the press conference to launch its Android App Store here in the UK too, a move which it confirmed would be happening earlier this year.
With this new event to add to our September diaries, next month is looking very exciting indeed.

A few years ago, Aria, the experienced esthetician behind Divinely Beautiful Skincare and Meditation, began complimenting her understanding of the external body with an exploration of the inner-self. Since beginning the practice of mindful meditation, she found the technique helps to increase self-awareness, diminish stress, and strengthen the mind-body connection. Rather than keeping this newfound wisdom to herself, she decided to share it with others, adding meditation to her lineup of services in in 2012.
Today, she continues to help instill confidence from the inside out with skincare services, including facials and waxing sessions, and contemplative meditation practices. She offers drop-in meditation classes and one-on-one sessions, both designed to clear minds, boost energy levels, strengthen focus, and foster a whole new appreciation for Enya.
The aestheticians at SkinCareDiva's pamper clients with exfoliating facials and moisturizing body treatments. Body wraps soaked in herbal solutions detoxify skin, minimize the appearance of cellulite, and increase the chance of being mistaken for a famous sushi. The spa's signature facial is designed to treat individual skin concerns with a custom mask and an in-home treatment program that addresses issues such as acne and fine lines.
Wood floors, warm lights, and modern decor highlight Image Hair Studio, where stylists and staff work from a full menu of hair and waxing treatments. At their workstations, skilled stylists outfit men's, women's, and children's heads with fashionable cuts. Those wanting an entirely new look can go for single- or double-process color. Other treatments such as partial highlights accentuate warm or cool skin tones or draw attention away from unicorn-horn implants gone awry. Additionally, staff uses hot and cold waxes to remove unwanted hairs on the face and body.
The restorative power of human touch reigns supreme at Wellness Therapy. To naturally relieve pain and promote well-being, the staff employs a variety of massage modalities. Flowing Swedish strokes, focused deep-tissue pressure, and cranial-sacral therapy each address different aspects of musculoskeletal tension, and reflexology treatments help correct energy imbalances in the body more effectively than swallowing a smudge stick. To round out its menu of services, Wellness Therapy offers waxing treatments as well as anti-aging facials that leave skin smooth and hydrated.
After proving herself a dedicated employee of Patrick's Hair Design throughout two decades of outfitting patrons with signature hairstyles, Jodie Gil purchased the salon and undertook a full renovation to amp up the atmosphere with modern amenities. Today, a 25-person staff consists of hair artists, nail techs, and skin specialists, who boast years of experience in their respective fields and knowledge of cutting-edge techniques. Along the row of flatteringly lit styling stations, clients communicate their coiffure needs to help stylists shape and color their locks, and nail techs adorn digits in OPI and Essie polish at the plush, spa-like nailcare station. Facials are customized to suit individual skin types and are available in 30-, 60-, and 90-minute versions, and massages are available in six different modalities.
When the [team]((http://gr.pn/OFLxSi) of licensed massage therapists aren't targeting knots with Swedish, deep-tissue, and myofascial-release techniques, they advise clients on matters of fitness and nutrition. Devout believers in the health benefits of massage, the staff spends much of the time attending conferences and devising new treatments. These treatments sometimes make it onto a list of services selected for their ability to help reduce cellulite, release endorphins, and ease digestive problems caused by accidentally swallowed car keys.

Company: Atlas Copco Construction Equipment
Atlas Copco's MB 750 Hydraulic Breaker allows the use of a smaller breaker and carrier for the same kind of job. This helps to bring the investment cost to a lower level and furthermore to reduce the fuel consumption significantly. The high operational efficiency of the MB 750 is devoted to a combination of oil and gas power and energy recovery by utilizing the recoil effect in the best possible way. This boosts the output power of the breaker without increasing the hydraulic input power of the carrier, which results in less fuel consumption during operation. The MB 750 has a guaranteed sound power level of 118 dB (A), measured according Directive 2000/14/EC. Atlas Copco' VibroSilenced system isolates the percussion mechanism acoustically from the external guide system.
A new feature on the MB 750 is the double retainer bar system, which maximizes the service of the tool and retainer system. Extra long retainer bars provide a maximum contact surface to the tool and the lower hammer, and they can be used on both sides for extended service life. Double retainer bars offer higher wear resistance than a retainer pin and are a reliable and proven locking system for the working tool.
The MB 750 is optionally available with the patented DustProtectorTM II, a two-stage sealing system with coarse and fine wipers that reduce the penetration of abrasive dust into the lower hammer part. DustProtectorTM II also keeps the lubricant around the wear bushing for a longer period of time, lowering grease consumption. The system reduces wear on the bushings and the hammer and protects against damage.
The MB 750 is ideal for secondary breaking, demolition, excavation and trenching, tunneling, and special applications such as underwater or any job that calls for a hydraulic breaker with a powerful, efficient and reliable design.
