Firstly the concerned department sends a requisition to Purchase Department.For that requisition Purchase Department searches for Available Suppliers ( Sometimes from Old Database or by New market research).With this information they discuss the requirement with suppliers and then prepare Comparative Rates Statement and keeping in view the reasonable rate, the lead time available and the terms of payment offered etc the supplier is finalized and then the Purchase Order is prepared for that Supplier.

A PO is created because there is an interest in a product. We make an agreement with an organization to purchase a product or service. We then enter the agreement in a program, such as HOD, outlining the quantity, the product, the coding to issue payment to, the PO #, and an amount is set up in that account to pay the matching invoice when the service has been rendered and/or the product has been received.

Access "A new generation of storage networking"
This article is part of the Vol. 3 No. 12 February 2005 issue of Storage managers reveal details on tape reliability
OK, don't put the magazine down, just glance over the top of it. Can you see your storage area network (SAN) or your big network-attached storage (NAS) boxes? Got your feet up on the desk? Maybe you're thinking, "Gee, after a few years of trench warfare to get this stuff to work, things are pretty stable. This year should be pleasingly calm. No change is good change." Was that good? Now stop daydreaming--your work is just getting interesting. We're entering a new phase of storage networking. Fibre Channel (FC) SANs and high-end NAS are known entities, as well as relatively mature and stable technologies. Many of the bugs are out and prices continue to plummet. Maybe they'll never be true commodities, but their success has certainly inspired technologies that will be, such as iSCSI and SATA RAID. In belated New Year's pundit fashion, my view of the future of networked storage is far from just a cheaper version of what we have today. We're on the eve of a second generation of storage networking. The first generation was based on two simple ideas. Remove the 15... Access >>>

Raider Nation, we learned a lot from the Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon. They are tough and they can play. The Raiders will contend in the AFC this season. How will they contend? What are the keys to success?
One: Terrelle Pryor needs to learn from his mistakes, and he cannot throw anymore costly interceptions. It's one thing when he is making a play or attempting to thread the proverbial needle, but he cannot just toss it to the other team. He must learn to go through his progressions and utilize his receivers. He needs to trust Rod Streater, Marcel Reece, Darren McFadden, and Denarius Moore.
Two: Darren McFadden must find a way to break through the first level of defense. The offensive line must get him past the line of scrimmage so he can make a move or two. Once he gets past the first level, he is a viable threat to take the ball down the field. McFadden must find a way to co-exist with the offensive line that he has. Once they become cohesive together and once they understand one another, McFadden will begin to eat up yardage.
Three: Rod Streater must emerge as the go-to receiver for Pryor. How can he do that? If Pryor is running around in the back field and stretching plays out, Streater must find a way to work back to his quarterback and demand the ball, or he must find the open space and call for the ball. A good or great receiver knows when to break off their route in order to help their quarterback out. Streater has to find a way to do this.
Four: Marcel Reece must be used more in the offensive package. Get him out on the flat, throw him the ball, and let him make plays with his feet. Use him as a half back now and then. Design plays around Reece and give him the opportunity to make the play.
Five: It's time for D.J. Hayden to be the right side defensive back. Tracy Porter is not cutting it, and he is getting eaten up big time. Opposing teams are going to continue attack Porter until that side of the field is shored up. Porter will be a better Nickel corner, and he will work in the Dime package on third downs as a blitzer as well. It's Hayden's island now.
For the most part the defense stepped up to the plate and got a couple hits. It faltered a bit in the first quarter and a half of the Indianapolis Colts game, but once the defense found its rhythm, the Colts had a very hard time moving the ball. Keep the pressure on the quarterback and turnovers will begin to happen. The offense made stupid mistakes that cost the game for the Raiders. However, that is not something to dwell on. Pryor indicated that he is moving on from the mistakes and they will not happen again.
In my opinion, these are the keys to success that must be completed in order for the Raiders to enter into the win column, and this is the design to beat teams like the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, etc… Now it's time to execute this process and win the next game. In the words of the late and great Gene Upshaw, "It's one game, then one game, then one game…"

Plant species diversity has been recognized as one of the vital attributes for assessing vegetation restoration. Changes in the diversity may be related to different stages of succession. In this study, 54 sites of humid, evergreen, broad-leaved forest were selected in the Rainy Zone of West China. A chronosequence of the sites was used to study the successive patterns of the diversity in the forest that had undergone natural regeneration for 5 to 350 years and to test the hypothesis that the diversity is maximized in mid-succession. Data were collected simultaneously at different stages of succession, and four α-diversity indices (species richness, Margalef index, Shannon-Wiener index, Pielou Evenness index) and two β-diversity indices (Whittaker index, Sørensen's index) were calculated for each stratum in each plot. A total of 394 vascular plant species were recorded. From the β-diversity indices, the forest succession may be divided into the early-successional stage (before 50 years), mid-successional stage (from 50 to 300 years), and late-successional stage (after 300 years). In this community, the species diversity and richness were found to be the greatest at the mid-successional stage, followed by the late- and early-successional stages. The results of regression analysis indicated that the richness and Margalef index peaked around the 175th and 165th year, respectively. Shannon-Wiener index values also appeared to follow an approximately humped pattern of succession and were maximal around the 100th year. However, the species evenness did not show any significant relationship with successional age. Our results demonstrate (1) forest restoration is a long-term process and the formation of climax forest requires at least 300 years and (2) the forest has a strong capacity for restoration. Our results also suggest Lindera limprichitii and Machilus pingii as ideal tree species for afforestation because of their wide niche.

Making Smart Decisions About Philadelphia Real Estate
The housing meltdown has made investing in real estate a bit of a tricky business for everyone involved. However, with the knowledge of IHF International Housing Forum experts, putting money into an area such as Philadelphia real estate can be done, and done well.
It may seem like rapidly shifting housing demands make investing in homes for sale in Philadelphia a bad idea. However, Philadelphia real estate can provide a reasonable return on investment when researched properly. The key to steady and realiable returns is to place funds in properties that generate a return on investment over time instead of in short bursts. Certain housing developments and areas are always in demand because of ideal location, affordable price tag or sustainable design. Investing in homes for sale in Philadelphia with a promising track record guarantees that the money is there without worrying about shortfalls.
Real Estate Debt Reduction Strategies and the Debt Relief Act
In December 2007, President Bush and the U.S. Congress signed the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act into law. This handy piece of legislation has helped many homeowners facing financial problems avoid tax issues associated with foreclosures, forgiven debt and mortgage debt reduction. Unfortunately, this law is set to expire on December 31, 2012, if it's not extended. Homeowners seeking debt advice and a solution to mortgage problems need to know the particulars of this important law.
Originally, homeowners who restructured their mortgages or entered into short sale or foreclosure proceedings were required to report forgiven debt as income. As the housing crises spun out of control, leaders in Washington realized these tax laws would only worsen the situation for many homeowners. Until the end of 2012, homeowners can receive principal mortgage debt reductions and debt forgiveness of $2 million or less without paying additional income tax.
After restructuring a mortgage or completing a foreclosure, individuals will receive a 1099-C form showing the amount of canceled debt. Individuals need to report this information to the IRS using Form 982. These forms must be included with income tax filings. There are several cases where homeowners are not eligible for tax-free mortgage debt reduction. This waiver cannot be applied to secondary residences, home equity loans or cash-out refinancings used for purposes other than home improvements. For more information and real estate debt advice, contact a tax professional, or call the IRS directly.
Home Remodeling Helps the Real Estate Market
The real estate market has been somewhat unstable for the last few years, though there are signs that it may be balancing out. Throughout the turbulence in the industry, homeowners have been discovering ways to try and keep their homes and/or make them more market friendly. Rather than fall victim to the foreclosure crisis that most homeowners have been dealing with, it is better to go through some home remodeling. Updating the home with new appliances, preferably energy efficient appliances, new carpeting, paint, additions, or other interior or exterior updates can help increase a home's worth. Home remodeling San Diego is a great option to choose.
Construction costs, contractor costs, and all other costs associated with a home remodeling project can be added to the overall cost of a home. The San Diego real estate, luckily, is fairly strong and has remained strong throughout the turbulence of the market the last few years. This helps increase a home's cost when combining high real estate values with a home remodeling project.
For home remodeling, San Diego homeowners do not have to change a whole lot in the home. Updates to energy efficient appliances, doors and windows alone can increase a home's value. This will help drive down electric bill amounts which benefits both the current owner and any future owner. Adding value is the ultimate goal of a remodeling project, and good planning in advance will allow homeowners to save money.
Pre-engineered Steel Buildings
If you are in the agricultural, commercial, industrial, or residential construction business you need a reputable supplier for the materials necessary to build your structure. Rather than searching for individual pieces for your building from different manufacturers, consider purchasing a pre-built metal structure. Buying pre-fabricated steel buildings is an easier, more cost effective alternative to building your own. If you are in need of a steel structure for personal use or commercial use, and are not familiar with construction, consider turning to a metal building company.
Whirlwind will make sure your structure meets all necessary building and safety codes. If you are looking for an agriculture building for farming equipment or livestock, they take every precaution to make sure your assets are secure. For those in the commercial industry, Whirlwind can help keep your costs low while still giving you the flexibility to customize your commercial steel building. Even if you are looking for a basic steel structure for personal use, such as a car port, shed, or even a residential, Whirlwind Inc. can custom build what you need. They offer energy efficient options, total local building code compliance, and low cost choices. Whirlwind will customize the best pre-engineered steel building tailored to your specifications.

Gresh & Zo tipped off talks with the Boston Celtics. The Celtics played the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game where the Green should have won by a significant margin, but they let the Cavaliers come back in the third and fourth quarters.
Boston was able to hold on and went on to win thanks in part to a huge night from Paul Pierce. Pierce scored 40 points at the age of 35 and looks like his old self.

White Sand Beach
A great beach day out
What we say:
Seven kilometres east of Candi Dasa, through the village of Bug Bug, you will reach a small sign on the left hand side of the road which points to the right indicating the turnoff to White Sand Beach.
Following the at times treacherous road from the turnoff for another 2km you arrive at a parking area among the coconut trees. Twenty metres beyond this is White Sand Beach (Pantai Pasir Putih).
A white sand beach is a bit of an anomaly around these parts as most of the beaches have either been washed away or are of the black sand variety, but this beach lives up to its name, providing a stunning contrast to the black volcanic cliffs. Because the sand is so white and the water so clean, the colour of the water is a magical deep turquoise colour, rounding off what could be described as an almost perfect beach.
Along the edge of the beach are a bunch of shacks selling food and drinks and also renting out sunbeds with umbrellas for those afraid of the sun. Sunbeds cost 10,000 rupiah for the day or are free if you eat and drink from the vendor. Be sure to ask if the seafood is fresh as they'll sometimes slap up frozen stuff to the unsuspecting.
If you want to head further afield, enquire after getting a boat over to the next bay to the west. We've not seen it in person, but while lazing on White Sand Beach we met a group of backpackers who had just returned from there and they said it was "the business".
More details7km east of Candi Dasa
How to get there: It is best to visit White Sand Beach with your own transport although bemos travel past the turn off with regularity and an ojek from the turn off shouldn't be hard to arrange once there. Expect to pay 5,000 rupiah for the bemo from Candi Dasa and another 5,000 rupiah for the ojek from the turnoff on the main road.

Panetta: Gay ban repeal has not hurt morale
Thursday - 5/10/2012, 7:07pm EDT
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Military leaders have concluded that last year's repeal of the ban on gays serving openly in uniform has not affected morale or readiness so far, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday.
"My view is that the military has kind of moved beyond it. It's become part and parcel of what they've accepted within the military," Panetta told reporters during a Pentagon press conference.
Panetta's comments come a day after President Barack Obama announced he supports same-sex marriage. And the defense secretary's statement reflects what has been an assessment of the impact that gays serving openly would have on the military. Some military leaders initially had expressed concerns that repealing the 18-year-old ban could undermine unit cohesion, particularly among troops serving on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But a report to Panetta, obtained by The Associated Press, provides the individual assessments of all the military services and the combatant commands, and all said that as of May 1 they had seen no issues or impacts of the repeal.
The military service leaders have been sending Panetta monthly updates on the impact of the repeal, which took effect in September.
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said he had seen no negative effects on military order or discipline.
"What were we afraid of is we didn't know," Dempsey said when asked why military officials were so worried about the repeal before it took effect. "I think that the way we were given a year to make this assessment to educate ourselves to collaborate, to build the sense of trust on this issue, and given that time to do it, I think it worked out well."
The Pentagon's worries were buttressed by early surveys that showed combat troops in particular _ including 56 percent of Marines who served in combat _ viewed repeal negatively in terms of how it could affect readiness and unit cohesion.
After the repeal date, however, defense officials said the concerns apparently were unfounded, and it turned out to be a "non-event."
To date there appears to have been just one incident that may have involved anti-gay violence in the military.
Last month a Marine allegedly stabbed another Marine to death in Washington after a fight that reportedly began when the suspect used an anti-gay slur to refer to the victim. The slaying occurred near the Marine Barracks in southeast Washington.

From the Missouri Press Association:
Veterans Day is Nov. 11 and this year will be commemorated on Monday, Nov. 12. Missouri Press has created a feature on the history of Veterans Day, including a timeline of how the commemoration moved from a one-time Armistice Day remembrance in 1919 to an annual holiday recognized across our nation.
In 2011, Missouri Press produced a feature on flag etiquette and released it for Veterans Day. More than 250 newspapers nationwide downloaded the Flag Etiquette feature. This feature is still available as well.
Both the Flag Etiquette feature and the new Veterans Day feature were created in partnership with The Missouri Bar association. Newspapers may download the features at www.mo-nie.com. For the Veterans Day feature use download code: veterans. For the Flag Etiquette feature, use the download code: us flag.

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Daysi B. passed a background check on 2/4/14. The check was ordered by Daysi through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Daysi, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
My name is Daysi and I have experience teaching and tutoring psychology, Spanish, and English as a second language. I teach at the school of social sciences at the University of Phoenix, and have experience teaching parenting classes, and couples parenting classes. I am fully bilingual in English/Spanish.
I have an expertise in family therapy, child development, couples therapy, grief and loss therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I successfully completed my Master's Thesis and Comprehensive Clinical Exam for Doctoral Candidate requirements. I teach psychology keeping in mind students learning style and course requirement from their specific school syllabus.
Spanish is my first language. I am fluent in reading, writing and speaking proper Spanish.
My approach to teaching Spanish is as follows: I like to meet with the individuals and learn about their learning styles. For example, children tend to learn through playing and active interaction. With adults, especially the elderly, I find that it is paramount to offer repetition and be flexible to how fast or slow the learning process takes.

I like your last paragraph. It is true. I should consider myself Primal all of the time and my off times as the 20% (which lately has been 50%). The problem is that I don't think Mark intended the 20% to include wheat, because that would defeat the purpose of attaining optimum health.

We Don't Need No Library Fiction?
The Herald Scotland article will stay with me for a while. Following on from Deary, the writer questions the need for fiction books in libraries and questions what the point of stocking them is. For myself, I have always seen fiction as the sneaky way to improve people's brains – one might be enjoying it but one is also learning spelling, grammar, incidental facts, all sorts of things at the same time. Fiction sucks (or suckers) the child into having a joy of reading and thus literacy and a degree and a good job. Fiction, also, saves those on the edges (and perhaps not just the edges) of society from madness, tedium or loneliness. To fail to understand the need for fiction in libraries shows a failure to understand its underlying benefits that bodes ill for the debate and for the failure of libraries (probably through no fault of their own – this should have been done nationally, for years) to explain their mission.
On the plus side, props to Devon for asking the public what it wants from a refurbishment of Sidmouth Library and, similarly, Los Angeles for asking the public what it wants from its libraries generally. The user needs to be fundamentally involved in the provision of services, most especially in any changes, and it's great to see this being done.
- 7 Great quotes about libraries on photos of beautiful libraries - Daniel Dalton.
- 25 Writers on the Importance of Libraries – Flavorwire. In the aftermath of Deary's comments, 25 writers who are keen advocates of public libraries are listed and quoted.
- Change is essential if libraries want to survive – Herald Scotland. "going into a library now is like going into HMV or Woolies just before it closed. It is a model that is confused and unclear; it no longer knows why it is there. And as for free downloadable books in libraries: like Kindles in Waterstones, that is like inviting a pussy cat into an aviary – the route to certain destruction from within.". The leisure use of fiction, not learning, is the main purpose of public libraries.
"the discussion of the future of these institutions should be based on what they are, not on what supporters think they are. … [There] should be an end to the lending of fiction on the basis that public subsidy should be for the public good, not for whiling away a few hours with a cheap thriller. As for the other peripheral issues the pro-library campaign sometimes raise, such as access to the internet or literacy, there are more effective ways of dealing with these issues than paying for big buildings that cost big money to run."
- Crowdsourced Design: Why Los Angeles Is Asking the Public to Create the Library of the Future – Good (USA). Asking th public what they want from the library? Now, there's a thought.
- International radio star - Litopia / Library Campaign. Alan Gibbons and Library Campaign interviewed about what they think of Deary's comments on an internet radio star. A wide ranging debate that lasts 45 minutes pitting two pro-library campaigners against two agnostics. Recommended. Need for libraries as a "safe place to go" comes across strongly as is the idea of it being a safety net, available for all.
"the repository is a logical extension to the role of a library. What ebooks have done for texts, 3D models will do for physical objects. In a digital form, they will be archived, shared and preserved. "You don't know, a thousand years from now, how many of these objects will still be around," he says. "These digital files might stand the test of time." Michael Groenendyk finds a new use for 3D printers in libraries
- Making libraries history is a horrible idea – Guardian / Letters. More reaction to Deary: "Does he also believe the concept of a shared social fabric is outdated? Deary has mined a rich – and lucrative – seam in amusing millions of young readers with his tales of how disgusting, brutish and selfish we human beings have been across the ages. True enough. But the public funding of libraries, with access for everyone, reflects our imagination and striving to be better than brutes." Beverley Naidoo.
- Protect and survive? Using the tools available to save library facilities – Community Knowledge Hub / David Alcock. Looks at using the "assets of community value" option under the Localism Act to safeguard libraries, and notes timing is crucial. Sometimes, council has already entered negotiations to sell before the public even knows the library is under threat.
"The message to community groups is clear. If you are at all worried about a local asset – whether a library or anything else – then don't delay, apply to list it under the assets of community value legislation, to confer such protection it affords. Don't wait, or it might just be too late."
- This week… I'm enraged by Terry Deary's comments about public libraries – Gazette. "I feel enraged particularly because he clearly has no idea just what is supplied by a modern library. Libraries have been trying hard to modernise their image, and we are lucky in Basingstoke to have a shining example of what they bring to a community."
- Devon - Sidmouth consultation on major refurbishment.
- Sandwell - 29% cut in staff in last "few" years. Hours reduced in 2012. Less hours also expected in 2013.
Local news
- Brighton - Crime writer makes plea to keep Brighton and Hove mobile library – Argus. "Sussex-based crime author Peter James has called on town hall bosses to find the five-figure sum a year to keep it running three days a week." … "after no voluntary groups came forward to help with running costs, the council proposed to replace it with a personalised door-to-door delivery service."
- Devon – Have your say on major Sidmouth Library revamp – Sidmouth Herald. Consultation on what public wants from six-figure sum refurbishment.
- Middlesborough - Council backing national scheme to modernise libraries – Northern Echo. "offering "books on prescription" and reading groups as they join up to an initiative aimed at bringing libraries into the 21st century."
- Newcastle – Lee Hall slams Newcastle Council's failure to save the arts – Journal. "Playwright Lee Hall has said Newcastle Council's revised £100m cuts package does not go far enough in attempts to offset the budget blow facing organisations across the city." … "Two out of 10 closure-threatened libraries will be saved, with another three likely to be taken over by community groups"
- Sandwell – Councillors urged to oppose library cut - Express and Star. "Sandwell Federation of Library Friends and User Groups wants members to reduce cuts to a service which has made cuts of almost £880,000 in the past two years."

Re. Herald Scotland article, "writer questions the need for fiction books in libraries," we learn (as teachers will quite happily enumerate for you) in many ways – stories are much more important to our culture than we mostly imagine.

NumbersSince 1st April 2014: 170 static libraries have been put under threat of closure/passing to volunteers. 8 mobile libraries under threat. 1 new library opened. 3 refurbishments over £50k, 10 libraries (2 static and 8 mobile) libraries closed, 9 libraries passed to volunteers. 1 entirely new volunteer-run library. 491 libraries (411 buildings and 80 mobiles) are currently reported as either likely to be closed or passed to volunteers or have been closed/left council control from 1/4/13 to 31/3/14 out of c.4265 in the UK. This figure will shortly be reviewed and is here as an indicator only. The complete list is on "Tally by Local Authority" page as are other changes to budgets such as cuts to hours, bookfund and staffing.

GM recalls midsize cars to fix transmission cables
September 21, 2012 10:30 AM
DETROIT (AP) – General Motors is recalling nearly 474,000 Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn cars to fix a transmission problem that can cause the cars to roll away unexpectedly.
The recall affects 2007-2010 Chevrolet Malibus, Pontiac G6s and Saturn Auras in the U.S., Canada and Mexico as well as a small number of exports. All the cars have four-speed automatic transmissions.
GM says part of the transmission cables can break. When this happens, the shifter can show that the car is in park when it's really in gear. GM says it knows of four crashes from the problem but no injuries.
Dealers will put a retainer over the end of the cables or replace them. Owners will be told by letter when to set up appointments with dealers.
