SECURITY GROUP G4S has appointed former Cable & Wireless CFO Tim Weller in a non-executive role, as part of a reshuffle.
Weller will assume his role with G4S in June 2013, joining from oil and gas service provider Petrofac, where he has worked since 2011.
Further reading
Weller qualified with KPMG in 1985 and, following a 12-year stint culminating in a partner role, joined Granada as director of financial control.
Between 2002 and 2010, Weller had CFO positions at energy company Innogy, RWE Thames Water and United Utilities Group, a UK-based water and wastewater company.
He was CFO at Cable & Wireless between 2010 and 2011 before joining Petrofac, and also holds non-executive directorships at BBC Worldwide and the Carbon Trust.
Former Football Association and Royal Mail chief executive Adam Crozier and Paul Spence – who has spent 30 years in various executive roles with Capgemini – will also assume non-executive directorships.
Chairman John Connolly said: "I am delighted to welcome three new directors with impressive track records to the board – their experience in key G4S sectors and countries will be invaluable in helping to continue to guide the strategic development of the group.
"Tim Weller's broad knowledge of the energy and utilities sectors – which are key strategic sectors for G4S – together with his experience of leading complex projects in strong international businesses, will also be beneficial to the group's development and expansion plans."

In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

All Within
Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Apparently the food in Bangkok are good.. I enjoyed but it seemed that I gained weight after the trip. Floating market is the specialty of Bangkok. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand My goodness Bangkok is a fun city! Transportation: well, if you don`t know where you`re really going and don`t speak the language, maybe taxi is better...but bus is available. There are two kinds of bus: One with AC and without AC. *Taxi drivers drive very dangerously...(from my own experience)* If you want to taste real Thai food, I think going to small food store, or buying food from the food stand is a way to go! They are real cheap too AND good at the same time so why not try them? *PLEASE DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER!* Water there are contaminated so better to buy a bottle of water at a store. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Harmonique
Charoen Krung Road, Soi 34 Bangkok 10500 Phone: +66 2 630 6270 , +66 2 237 8175 Neighborhood : Bangrak Public Transport : Saphan Taksin Dine among antiques: Formerly under Dutch management—when the service was rather more attentive—Harmonique's setting, food and convenient location (if staying near the Chao Phraya River) still make a trip here more than worthwhile. This elegant wooden restaurant faces onto a green, leafy outdoor area, which creates a feeling of tranquility. Make sure you do wander around the house to inspect the antiques. The menu features great traditional Thai food with an emphasis on fresh seafood. The mixed seafood steamed with Thai herbs is outstanding. Beer and wine are available or you can bring your own wine. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Lemon Grass
5/1 Soi 24, Sukhumvit Road Bangkok 10110 Phone: +66 (0)2258 8637 Neighborhood : Klong Toey Traditional Thai in style: Arguably one of the most elegant restaurants in Bangkok for fine Thai food, Lemon Grass has been serving mouth-watering cuisine for many years. It also maintains a good reputation among the city's amateur critics. Set in a converted house decorated with beautiful antiques, the theme is traditional and stylish, right down to the cutlery and placemats. Most dishes start from around THB150 and the Minced Chicken and Ginger Served in Cabbage Leaves should not be missed. The signature Lemon Grass Iced Tea is always on the favorites list. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Last night, people from all over Thailand sat up to watch the most spectacular light-show in history as the annual Leonids meteor shower rained down on the country - Except me, because I was sleeping off my flight. I half expected to wake up this morning and find that everyone else was blind and that man-eating plants were roaming the streets(1), but according to The Nation, the countries independent newspaper which was pushed under my door at dawn, the whole thing turned out to be a major disappointment. Since I was too jetlagged to stay up and watch, though, I cannot comment on what a major disappointment might be by Thai standards - this is, after all, a country which likes to cover it's temples in Gold! After recovering from breakfast, I headed out to see what this famous land of temptation had to offer - But it's not like that at all. Between the buildings, there is the constant glint of the out-of-town gold encrusted temples, and across the road from the hotel is the beautiful Limphini Park, which a booklet in my room suggests would be an ideal place to go jogging in the early morning heat. This is the same booklet which I filed carefully in the bin after laughing wholeheartedly at it for some time. There is something oddly disturbing about Bangkok - You can sense that it is there, but can never quite put your finger on it. You can walk for miles in any direction, along seemingly endless streets of shops with people begging outside, but never actually seem to get anywhere. Occasionally, Patpong looms up expectedly in front of you, screaming out "Look - Sex here". It doesn't seem to matter which way you go, either, all roads seem to twist and turn until you find yourself back at the red light district. Or is it just me?!? Bangkok also has an unpleasant smell to it in places, which seems to go away if you move a little way up the street: I have absolutely no clue as to what this is. Within ten minutes of walking, it is vitally important to sit down for an hour and take a course of rehydration therapy - I have never been so hot in my life. When I got back to the Dusit Thani this morning, after a little over an hour outside, a maid was making up my bed, and she burst into fits of giggles when I staggered through the door, my previously top of the range shirt looking as though I had been swimming in Limphini lake with all my clothes on: "You take Tee-Shirt next time," she advised me helpfully. Personally, I think I'd still be sweating if I'd gone out wearing nothing but a loincloth. Tonight, I decided to take a stroll up to a local restaurant for a bite to eat. On the way out of the hotel, I was accosted by a taxi driver who wanted to know where he could take me. Having explained politely that I was only going up the road, he called after me: "You come back later for Massage, yes?" I can only assume that he wanted to take me to a massage parlour, rather than perform the service himself. You never can tell in Bangkok. Trying to cross the road here is really something that has to be experienced. The traffic lights don't seem to perform any real function of value: Red means Stop, and Green means "Look, there's a British tourist - Put your foot down!" Now, I realise that this might sound a little on the paranoid side, but I really cannot make any sense of the logic behind the system. When a light turns red on a busy crossroads, only one flow of cars seems to stop, the other three just head on into the junction and try to weave around each other. It really is lucky that Bangkok seems to have one of the most modern monorail systems I've seen, its sleek new trains sailing over my head as I walk down the street; its stations long and accommodating and the route maps easy to follow even for foreigners. There's no problem finding your way around Bangkok by train, it's only when you get down to street level at your destination that the head scratching begins. Many a British tourist can be found standing on street corners, dripping with sweat, peering myopically over a large unfolded map and trying not to lose the will to live! On my way to the restaurant, I noticed that Bangkok really does seem to come alive at night: The streets are all lit up Vegas style, and the beggars are replaced by hookers plying their trade. I was propositioned outside Burger King by the most seductive thing on two legs, and she was just trying to sell me a Whopper. I finally reached my destination, and was served a lump of meat which looked as though it had been cooked for all of twelve seconds. I could see the plague coming out. Still, it was a hot meal, so I tucked in and took my chances. They had something on the menu called "Samurai Pork", which I was strongly tempted to try instead purely out of unwise curiosity, but then I had visions of big Japanese warriors with ceremonial swords chasing squealing pigs around the kitchen, and I went off the idea. I am getting the distinct feeling that Bangkok is one of those places you should see before you die, but once you've seen it you'll want to move on quickly. Two days in Bangkok is probably all you'll ever need. (1) If you don't understand this reference, or just think I've gone totally mad, you should read John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids . Anyway, it's a classic so you really should know what I'm on about, right? You can read my complete travel journals at http://www.offexploring.com/globalwanderer Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand If you are in Bankgok you have to take Tuk Tuk. It's cheaper and faster than a taxi. And, of course, you have to try a Thai massage. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Becareful with the ladyboys!!!! Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Eat the street food. Do not be afraid. Bangkok streets seem to be filled with food stalls which often offer minimal seating. Since the Thais seem to eat and want to eat at all hours of the day or night, the stalls always have customers. The staple is a savory broth into which they ladle anything you pick from their array of beef, chicken, shrimp, vegetables and noodles. Do like the Thais do, have a bowl of soup for or five times a day. The purveyors will spice it up to your liking. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Thailand, especially, Bangkok is my personal favorite vacation spot. It is my advice to go with a tour guide so that they can show and explain the intricacies of the city and country in order to get a better feel. Furthermore, they will likely know where to get hour-long massages for 2 dollars. Also, there are some very nice remote beaches nearby where the sand is white and the water is clear. It is a perfect place to jetski or even paraglide. Aside from having the most beautiful beaches, Thailand is famous for having beautiful and inconspicuous she-males. Be careful if you are a heterosexual because some of the shemales are very convincing looking. Not my words, it was my guide's. In fact, I promise that one would not be able to tell. Some go as far as injecting fat into their throat area to even out the Adam's apple. Also, my guide explained that most of the transgendered and homosexuals from bordering asian countries come to Thailand because of their open-mindedness and to escape the discrimination, even persecution, from their native country. After visiting Bangkok, I had a totally different view of the culture and city. It is one of the most beautiful places I've been to and there were plenty of outlets here to have fun. Oh another thing, Thailand has the best asian fruits too. No pun intended. I loved Thailand's diversity, FOOD, culture, overall atmosphere, and how an American dollar went a long way. I went pre-tsunami so things might be a little different nowadays. Still, I would like to be back someday soon. Oh and another useful tip is to keep it in your pants because Bangkok has the most cases of AIDS for a city in the world, but don't let that scare you. #1 tip for Bangkok: Don't get excessively drunk unless you have a close trusted sober friend looking out for you. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand a very dirty and crowded city. But fantastic to be there!!! the people are so welcoming and warm!!! Good tip? (0) |

Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling...LianneHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairBroke After A YearI would not recommend this flat iron for the money. It is not heating up after only a year of use. Now it takes me twice as long to straighten my hair in the morning and I am going to have to buy a new flat iron. I liked it when it worked but not for the price if it is only going to last a year. My GHD lasted 3 years. Every other iron I have tried dies after a year.posted Nov 5, 2014Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling...MaraThe WorstI had originally ordered the babyliss pro nano titanium which I have been using for years to replace my old one. It came and was extra long, which this site never said it would be. I called to return it and they wouldn't even pay the postage! She did, however, talk me into this sedu iron, saying it was much less damaging. Really? I could hear my hair sizzling and breaking on a much lower temp then I ever used my babyliss on. Needless to say I know have two irons on my cc, no postage to ship back, and terribly frizzy hair from this fiasco! Not happy with folica or this flat iron at all! Going to get my $ back and find my trusted babyliss pro from somewhere else. Goodbye forever folica!posted Sep 28, 2014Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling...JenHairAuburnDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairLong Lasting Product, Worth The $$!!I am posting this as after 5 wonderful years, my Sedu is starting to lose it's umph. Red heads - this needs to be your next iron! We've lived a lifetime of frizziness & pony tails, this product is our freedom from horrible bad hair days!! I have very thick long red hair & have straightened, or curled my hair with it 1 to 2 times a day. It would leave my hair sleek & shiny all day, & pulled out frizz even on rainy days. I would occasionally have to touch up to straighten out a hair tie crease. Does awesome beachy waves, which holds up all day with no product. I initially purchased the Sedu because I was tired of replacing my C** Iron every other year. I purchased this iron the day I went into labor with my daughter, she is getting ready to turn 5. This is an amazing product, just put my order in for the Sedu diamond edition. Having fabulous hair for 5 years is worth $180 bucks!posted Sep 20, 2014Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling...Bruna L.HairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairBest Flat Iron Ever!I've had this flat iron for about 3 and a half years and now it sadly stopped working :( I ordered a new one because I just can't live without it anymore! It straightens any kind of hair. I've tried it on my mom's hair (very thick) and my friend's super curly hair, and it holds. It also gives a beautiful shiny and healthy look to the hair. It looks super natural.
I've started curling my hair with it the last couple of months and I love the result. It's possible to style hair in any way. The swivel cord is awesome too! Super long and never gets in the of styling.
I just hoped it would last a bit longer!posted Sep 12, 2014Link to this post -

I have been using the Chi for years and it works good, but the Sedu Revolution tops it for sure! I have curly hair and it would take me about 20 minutes to get my hair straight with the Chi. With the Sedu, it only takes me about 7-10 minutes and my hair is straighter and shinier than ever!! It is even perfectly straight the next day.

I have coarse, thick, frizzy, curly hair that a Brazilian blowout can't always tame it!
I had a chi for years thinking it was the greatest thing ever until I bought this. This straightener not only allows me to only go over my many sections of hair one once but it helps maintain my hair healthy and straight even in humid buffalo days during the summer. Paying just a little more than a chi that I had to go over my hair several times to get the same results was worth not only the end result but a time saver. Best straightener I have used to date and I've been on the search for something worth worthwhile since I learned to tame my hair more than a decade ago!posted Aug 19, 2014Link to this post -

One of the best flat irons I have yet to use, but after about 2 and a half years, only one side heats up and now flat ironing my hair is twice as difficult (and my hair is naturally curly). Unfortunately, I am out of warranty. Had the flat iron continued to work I would still be using it. It's really disappointing because it was a great flat iron while it lasted. For the money you will spend on it though, I would go for a more reliable option.posted Aug 10, 2014Link to this post

Submetido por Dawn M. Foster em
I just ran across a blog post from Red Hat outlining some of the recent cloud computing developments at Red Hat, and it reminded me that Jeff Jaffe, Novell's CTO, had written a series of blog posts over the past couple of months about Novell's approach to cloud computing. I thought it might be interesting to look at both of them together to compare and contrast at least a few of their key points. I'll hit on a few highlights, but if you want more details, you should go back and read the original posts linked above.
Avoiding Vendor Lock-In
Both Red Hat and Novell see avoiding vendor lock-in as a key issue for adoption of cloud computing; however, while their approaches to the issue are similar, there are some slight differences. Red Hat talks more about the need for open standards while Novell focuses on vendor interoperability.
Red Hat:
"while the benefits of clouds are well understood by most CIOs and IT managers, the barriers to widespread cloud adoption are also becoming clear. One of the most important barriers relates to cloud standards or, the other side of the same coin, the need to avoid any sort of vendor lock-in. Clearly, until cloud standards are established and accepted by cloud service providers, customers are likely to limit their usage of cloud computing, reducing its potential value."
"The compute cloud will democratize computing by utilizing open interfaces and avoiding platform lock-in. This is harmonious with our brand promise of "Making IT Work as One". It is also characteristic of Novell as a company who is passionate about Open Source, yet willing to work on interoperability with vendors who are committed to proprietary platforms."
Virtualization and cloud computing tend to go hand in hand, so it was no surprise that both Red Hat and Novell talked about virtualization as an important part of their cloud computing strategies. Red Hat highlighted a customer solution from NTT Communications with Red Hat Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) virtualization technology and talked about their partnership with Microsoft for virtualization certifications. Novell's virtualization focus leans toward Xen and virtual appliances.
Growth of Cloud Computing
Both Red Hat and Novell agree that adoption of cloud computing is growing rapidly, and they see this as a key technology trend. Most companies and analysts see cloud computing as a growth area, so it should not be a surprise that Red Hat and Novell are benefiting from cloud computing.
Novell's post has some interesting comparisons to past technology trends that have revolutionized the industry.
"Cloud computing is next. It will be equally transformational. The web provided clicking for "information" and cloud computing will provide clicking for "information resources". Over time this will revolutionize every part of IT. ... The potential of cloud computing is great, but it won't happen overnight-just as the other paradigm changes did not happen overnight. There will be many participants in this all playing different roles. For example there will be companies that provide cloud computing, and others -like Novell-that provide infrastructure software that are used by cloud providers or enterprises. Many layers of the compute stack will change to support the move to the cloud. Novell will not invest in all of them-no one vendor can have that impact. However, in the cloud infrastructure Novell will play a key role."
Red Hat focuses on innovation and progress in cloud computing:
"the last few months have seen great progress from Red Hat in the cloud computing space. Standards-based open source technology is a natural fit for the cloud. As with other areas of technology focus, Red Hat seeks to drive innovation as rapidly as possible to enable customers and partners to realize the efficiencies of cloud computing quickly."
Cloud computing is one of the more revolutionary trends that we've seen recently in the technology industry. According to Gartner, this isn't just hype: "Looking at real benefit, rather than the hyped expectations, we see a number of potentially transformational technologies that will hit the mainstream in less than five years, including Web 2.0, cloud computing, Internet TV, virtual worlds and service-oriented architecture (SOA)." Red Hat, Novell and many other software vendors will benefit from this growth in cloud computing.

Four Pinocchios for Mitt
Mitt Romney's 'new math' for jobs plan doesn't add up By Glenn Kessler Let me tell you how I will create 12 million jobs when President Obama couldn't.

And expanding trade, cracking down on China and improving job training takes us to over 12 million new ... Full Story

The Federal Bailout That Saved Mitt Romney

Any option for a hotel stay the night before? I had always done the "get up in the middle of the night" routine until my last trip. It makes it SO much better when you just have to be awake 2.5 hours before your flight instead of 3-6 to get up and drive
How much more would it be to just add the days to the tickets? Isn't it only a couple of dollars per ticket?
....I love to spend the day at DTD - that's certainly free, but if you don't mind, perhaps playing a round of mini-golf at one of the mini-colf courses? Or, try out the new bowling alleys at DTD that are near Cirque....
Adding another day onto the ticket really isn't an issue as it's only $48 for all of us--it's whether we'll be allowed to pick up our tickets early. Our tickets are tied to our hotel stay/dining plan which begins 2 days after our plane arrives. Right now, we'd be allowed to pick up the tickets early at guest relations at DTD, but when the magic bands are implemented presumably later this spring, Disney may change the policy and not allow us to pick up the tickets early. (While we could just add these two days onto our existing hotel/dining package, we don't really want to--it would add another $1250 onto our trip...) I had no idea about the archery experience--the kids just watched Brave last night, and I think they would really dig that. Thanks! Does anyone know with the bike rentals if they have any with training wheels? And is it possible to check out some DVC rooms? I know there's sometimes sample rooms open (like the one on Boardwalk) and the ones they have available at the sales center over in SSR, but we'd be really interested in checking out both 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom rooms at OKW, BLT, BCV and THV as we're considering a resale contract. If we weren't planning to do resale, I'd contact the sales agent that helped us last year when we went through the presentation and tour, but since I don't think we'll be buying through Disney, I'm not sure how helpful they'll be.
We might do that. We're only an hour from the airport--tops--and the day before is my daughter's birthday. She may not want to leave the house on her birthday night and celebrate at a cheap hotel. I think we'll probably wind up just sucking up the extra hour and leaving early. At least it's to go to Disney--doing the same to come home would be a heckuva lot harder!
1st off I definitely wouldn't stay offsite for the 1st 2 days like a pp stated...1 of the perks about staying onsite in Magical Express... Worry free about getting to and from is Awesome...If she stayed in US/IOA hotels this would negate this plus she would have to rent a cab or car to get to WDW from there. If you can add them on add them. If not try taking the DVC tour. It's about an hour or 2 but you'll get to see the mock up rooms they'll take care of the kids ( if you have them) playing video games and arts n crafts n stuff. plus you'll get some yummy ice cream for free, & what we got was instant fass pases for the rest of our trip....Nice bonus.. You can resort hop , which is always fun..Especially the ones around the monorail then hop over to the BW resorts and check out what they have to offer. Try DTD for a bit & take the boatride over to SSR & heasd up the river to POFQ & POR.
We like taking boats out at the Yacht Club. We're also considering for our next trip going to do some parasailing on Bay Lake, horseback riding at Ft. Wilderness, stuff like that.
Non-Park days = mini-golf for us! We will even do one course before lunch and then the other after. Seems like there might even be a small discount for more than one round in a day? We have also gone on "adventures" to various resorts with a particular goal in mind...the magic cookie bar at POR, or Zebra domes at AKL. Maybe do some research into the "unique" offerings at the different resorts and then plan a quest to get them? My DS always asks what the new "quest" is! Its really kind of silly, but it is all in the presentation....
Port Orleans is my family's favorite resort. You will be able to use the pool and other amenities at POFQ. I believe POR offers these pirate cruises, also. I don't know how much they cost or your childrens ages, it's just an idea. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/pirate-adventure-cruises/ There are activities by the main pool, a campfire and movies daily. These activities are free. Here is an example of the information you will receive at checkin. http://portorleans.org/recreation-activites-schedule.php My family has also taken the boat from MK to Fort Wilderness just to look at the horse stable, free. The stable is just a short walk from the boat launch. The pony rides are also, located here. We like to go to Poly and eat at Captain Cook's. At 9pm the electric water pagent starts. It can be watched from the beach or dock. Watching animals at AK is something we do. Mara, the counter service restaurant, is a must do for us. As mentioned, the zebra domes are a must have for me.
This afternoon, I was invited to stay with friends at Disney later this year, so now I'm planning to change my ticket (just mine--not my whole family's) to an AP and getting the TIW card. Perhaps it just makes sense at this point to ditch the dining plan (I already did the math--the savings would be higher with the TIW card vs. the dining plan) and add the tickets onto the first two days of the reservation at POR and convert the original reservation to a room-only... Do you think that makes the most sense rather than get possibly stuck without tickets for 2 days?
Good move....We did the same thing this past August & I was skeptical, but it just makes sense... Eat or drink what u want when u want...BOOM 20% off. I was down there for 11 nights though plus I'm returning this april so it really made sense in my case...Not sure how long you're going for though?
11 days/10 nights for us and a return for four days later this year. The AP makes sense. I just hope my TA doesn't strangle me.
I much prefer using TiW card vs DDP. I like ordering exactly what I want rather than what DDP covers. I think you'll be able to use TiW card at POR food court. It is good at POFQ because they don't have a TS but folks have often reported being able to use it at POR too. Will you buy a premium AP so you can go to water parks?
We've done this before and it worked great. Adding a couple of days onto tickets generally doesn't cost too much. Although the waterpark idea is great, too!
Love the user name And we are thinking of doing the same, have a 13 day already booked for may, with 10 day hoppers, which means 3 no park days, thinking maybe just switch to APs, and book a BB while we are there. We were going to wait to do a Chrismas trip 2014 ... obv at Rack rate like Dec 27 - Jan 7 or something ... ugh this is tough. If we do the BB on APs we wont go again in Dec ...
Switch to AP's. You will thank yourself over & over again. Then you'll get hooked on AP's & want one every year. Then you'll realize the savings you will get in the resort room price because you have an AP. Then you will be able to go twice a year!
Ugh. That's the question, right? It's a $125 upgrade to PAP; admission for one adult to the water park is $52, so I'd have to go to the water park 2.5 times for it to pay for itself.... Right now, I'm thinking it might be prudent to just pay for my admission separately and if the kids decide they like the water parks a lot and want to go back to them a lot, upgrade the AP to a PAP? Is that possible? Or, is it possible *before I leave the water park* to apply that day's admission to a water park AP (which is actually cheaper than a PAP)?
Hahaha AP's = More n More trips..LoL If I wasn't trying to go to Disneyland next year I would've bought PAP's before Dec. 31 last yr. but knowing that I'm going to be there in 7 weeks and not having to pay for park passes is a plus....I'll just have to do it all over again in Nov. 2014 and return again in 2015 to keep making it worth it.. Hopefully they run a similar type deal for DVC owners like the one they just ran..

Paul McCartney Talks 'Rock Band,' Beatles
You're playing some of the Beatles songs as the remasters are about to come out. Does that bring back memories?
I always do songs I want to play and also songs the audience wants to hear. So there's a positive spin on them, anyway. I think it's interesting, when you have some time to consider things. I was talking to people at dinner the other night and they'd heard about the show or seen it and [we started talking about] things like the significance of the Beatles politically. So many people, in America particularly, come up to me and say, 'You changed my life.' This whole idea of the significance of the Beatles is incredible. Someone mentioned the Russian thing - the bringing down of the iron curtain. That was the whole ethos behind rock music, we just happened to symbolize it because we were possibly the most visible. It's not often that that kind of a thing has such a global influence. We were lucky because we were at a time of global communications - TV and records and radio were stretching through borders. And the other day I was doing a bit of yoga and the yoga teacher said I have to thank you and the guys - I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for the Beatles. I feel that more as time goes on.
EMI is putting out new versions of the Beatles albums on Sept. 9. Did you pay a lot of attention to the remastering process?
We do the approving and the other guys do the real hard work. We needed a very good team to help with the anthology and Cirque du Soleil and now for 'Rock Band.' So they do the work and then Ringo and I go in and listen to the demos and we usually go, 'Wow, this is amazing- that's what it sounded like in the room.' That's what's nice about it. It's not smarter or more sophisticated - it's just more real, it's more true to the noise we were actually making. I can listen to those records and see John right there.
What about 'Rock Band?' Is it weird having your music out there for people to interact with?
I think it's great. It's just the modern world and you either embrace it or you don't. I'm happy to embrace good new ideas - it keeps things exciting. If kids - or anyone - want to play a video games and someone like ['Rock Band' publisher] Harmonix wants to put together a great Beatles project, then it makes sense to me.
This is the same kind of thing [as the "1" album]. I'm sure the kids don't care - and I don't care -how they hear the music. To hear it is the fun. It's very good quality - Giles Martin [son of famed Beatles producer George Martin] has been doing all the work, so I think it's going to be an interesting phenomenon that will make another Beatles thing happen.
One aspect of the modern world the Beatles haven't embraced is iTunes. Have you thought about it? Or do you think that not having your music available there has helped you?
That originally was mentioned a number of years ago and we all sort of said we'd look at it. But there was a logjam with the people who took over EMI - there were some aspects of the whole thing that they became nervous about. So the deal got stuck. So we're just waiting. Meantime, as you say, it's kind of interesting, because virtually the same kind of thing is going to happen with 'Rock Band' - you're going to be able to download albums from that. We bypassed the logjam - not really intentionally. But one day I think that it's natural that it will be on iTunes.
An expanded version of Billboard's conversation with Paul McCartney will appear in the September 12, 2009 issue of Billboard magazine. You can buy that edition by visiting OrderBillboard.com and selecting Issue 36.

Another night of live music from a fresh lineup of up-and-coming talent.
The BET Music Matters Showcase series will return to New York next week after hitting the road last month for a special Austin, Texas, show as a part of South by Southwest. The next concert is scheduled for Tuesday April 10 at popular NYC hot spot Santos Party House.
Hosted by Hot 97's KFoxx and our very own Buttahman, the lineup for the evening will include soul singers Natalie Imani, Gabe Roland, Leron Young, Moxie and New York MC Dolo the Bandit.
Imani will illustrate what she means when she says, "Music is the mark of my passion," when she performs songs from her upcoming EP Passion Mark. Roland, known for his energetic stage shows, promises to enliven the crowd. Although still very fresh-faced, Leron Young will exhibit his blend of contemporary R&B with a touch of nostalgia for the late '80s and early '90s, including songs off his upcoming album, American Heartbreak. Moxie will make an effort to demonstrate the namesake, while Bronx rapper Dolo the Bandit will spit for his hometown crowd.
Santos Party House is located at 96 Lafayette (between Walker St. & White St.).
Doors open at 8 p.m. for tonight's show. The first act will hit the stage at 8:30 p.m., so get there on time.

After months of surveys and meeting with people around Illinois, representatives from the Governor's Rural Affairs Council say they repeatedly heard from people worried about "the fragile nature of rural EMS."
