Never say never. In 2008, I wrote two articles outlining the reasons investors shouldn't own Gap (NYSE:GPS) stock and why Old Navy needed to go. I was an unabashed critic. Exactly one year later in October 2009, I was recommending the large-cap retailer at $22, suggesting its cash management skills, combined with a newfound sense of fashion, would see its stock return to the $50 level where it traded in 2000. Anyone who follows the San Francisco company knows this didn't happen. Instead, it's slowly moved lower and 21 months later, it trades at $4 less than where I recommended it with little hope of a near-term revival. While I haven't given up on it because I'm a big believer in buy-and-hold investing, I do have some suggestions for Gap CEO Glenn Murphy. (To learn more about retail stock, check out Analyzing Retail Stocks.)
TUTORIAL: Earnings Quality
One Too Many Brands
As far back as 2007, I can remember reading a blog post by marketing guru John Moore at BrandAutopsy.com that debated the merits of Gap Inc. closing its namesake retail stores and then licensing the brand to Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) or JCPenney (NYSE:JCP). The two retailers already have successful deals with VF Corp. (NYSE:VFC) and Liz Claiborne (NYSE:LIZ) so it's possible Gap could do the same. The brand still holds value. And while it's tempting, I don't believe that's the way to go. Especially when you consider Murphy's recent announcement that it was closing 200 Gap brand stores in North America by 2013, bringing the total number of stores from 900 down to 700 while expanding the number of outlet stores for the brand to 250. Outlet stores deliver a higher return on capital so it makes sense to alter the mix. As part of this move, it will be less a specialty retailer and more a value player in North America, and that's exactly why Old Navy should be sold instead of the Gap. The two brands will sell similarly priced merchandise further cannibalizing revenues. Add the fact Old Navy's lease commitments in terms of square feet are double those of the Gap and Banana Republic combined and you have operating expenses that are unnecessarily high. Regardless of Old Navy's return on capital, this overlap must end. By Murphy moving the Gap into value and adding outlet stores, he's paving the way for an Old Navy exit. At least he should be. (For more on investing in retail, read The 4 R's Of Investing In Retail.)
Real Growth
No matter what Murphy and company do with the three (or better two) legacy brands, its best growth days are behind it, even if it expands to every possible emerging market. In the first quarter, revenues outside the U.S. accounted for 20% of its overall total. In the same quarter, five years earlier, international sales accounted for 14% of overall revenues. Between Q1 2007 and Q1 2011, international revenues went from $540 million to $673 million, a compound annual growth rate of 4.5%, hardly awe-inspiring results. One needn't look farther than its Athleta brand for the solution. Since acquiring the activewear e-commerce business in 2008 for $150 million, its slowly taken steps to test the brand in a retail setting, opening a first store in Mill Valley, a suburb of San Francisco, and then a 5,000-square-foot flagship in January on Filmore Street. The next will be in New York City. Frankly, I don't have a clue why it's taking so long to rollout stores. Activewear is clearly the sweet spot in retail right now. Lululemon (Nasdaq:LULU) has an enterprise value of $7.1 billion, just $1.7 billion less than Gap, despite trailing 12-month revenues that have yet to crack a billion. Meanwhile, Gap's revenues are 14 times greater. Athleta's product obviously has a following. For every dollar that MillValley residents spent online at Athleta, they spent $4 in the test store. There's a market just waiting to buy. Build it and they will come. Since 1999, Lululemon's opened 122 stores in North America. Each store averages 2,874 square feet in size, costs $618,000 to open and generates $5 million in annual revenue when up to speed. So let's assume every Athleta store that opens going forward is also 5,000 square feet, which is highly unlikely. The approximate cost to open 122 stores would be $1.3 billion, one-fifth the cost of buying Lululemon at the going rate. Assuming sales per square foot of $684 (50% higher than Banana Republic and 60% lower than Lululemon) and a six-year build, the Athleta brand could be generating as much as $4.2 billion in annual revenue by that time. If Athleta were to reach those revenue numbers, its operating margins would be higher than Banana Republic. (To learn more about the potential growth and what it can mean, see Great Expectations: Forecasting Sales Growth.)
Capital Allocation
Since 2004, it has returned over $10 billion to shareholders with about 85% in the form of share repurchases. That would be great if it did anything for the stock price. However, since the end of 2003, the total return on Gap stock is negative 14.4% compared to a gain of 15.8% for the S&P 500 and the index's return doesn't include dividends. $8.5 billion is a lot to spend to produce a negative return. Instead of wasting more money on share repurchases, why not actually put it in the hands of shareholders through special dividends or use it to better the business by developing its growth brand. Share repurchases have done neither. As of today, Gap has $2.5 billion in cash and $1.65 billion in long-term debt for a net cash position of $850 million. At the end of 2010, when it had no debt, its net cash position was $1.7 billion, meaning net cash dropped by $850 million in the first quarter, in large part because of the $548 million in share repurchases it made at an average price of $22.09, significantly higher than what it could have paid today. That's not good judgment in my books. A sensible plan would be to unload Old Navy for $4 - $5 billion, reinvest $1.5 billion to grow Athleta and another $1 billion for the e-commerce division and you'd have at least $1.5 billion leftover to pay a $2.50 special dividend; a 15% yield. With one bold divestiture, longtime shareholders would be back to even. That's a good start.
Bottom Line
When a sports team gets into a funk, a drastic shakeup usually makes the difference. That's precisely what Gap must do. Something tells me it won't, but I hope I'm wrong. (To see what effect a CEO can have on a company and their share price, check out CEO Savvy And Stock's Success Go Hand In Hand.)

The members of the Turlock Garden Club are busy trimming their plants and pulling any errant weeds as they prepare for their second annual garden tour.
Sharon and Bob Wolf came from Ohio to manage the Turlock Lake State Park recreational area for contractor American Land and Leisure. As area managers this winter, they invested a lot of sweat equity to upgrade the facility, replacing split rail fences, pedestal barbecue pits and picnic tables and painting restrooms. They feared their efforts would be in vain with speculations that the lake would not be filled due to the drought. After all, the docks were out of the water and eight duck blinds were stuck in the mud over the winter for a lack of water.
Generations of Turlock youth have had the opportunity to swing for the bleachers thanks to the efforts of Abe Rojas. His vision in creating the Pedretti Sports Complex is just one way Rojas has left a lasting legacy in the area and has earned him the 2014 Senior Award for Stanislaus County Supervisorial District 2.

After a small advertising startup at which Rinkus was working was acquired by Yahoo!, Rinkus was on the hunt for another position and found his way to Uber.

65m moderate millington
I've always found it tricky to write these without sounding like a CV, but here goes. I'm a keen climber and hillwalker in general, I don't climb particularly hard, but what I do get up is usually done reasonably well in reasonable style. I'm aiming to improve, but don't feel the need for this to be instant, as I'd rather take a long view and still be climbing in my 70s. I've worked in climbing walls and am involved in the potential development of some new ones, holding my CWA, SPA and nearly ML I'm hoping to get my MIA and winter ML within the next couple of years. Started out climbing on grit where i grew up, now live in Lochaber after a couple of years traversing the university system in Edinburgh. Generally a safe pair of hands on the hill, but you will have to put up with my horrendous taste in worn out orange clothing.

Those parts of the building could be rebuilt into a freestanding landmark to be placed elsewhere on school grounds, said North Platte architect Grant Creager.
Creager submitted various plans for such a landmark to the North Platte Public Schools board. The proposal would cost just over $300,000, of which nearly $70,000 would have to be paid up front.
Some who are working to save the old building, a unique example of Gothic Revival architecture, say that to save part of it for such a landmark would be a travesty. One of them called it a "tombstone." What do you think?

M. T. Harmon, Corporation for National and Community Service
More Americans — 64.3 million — volunteered in 2011 than in the past the five years, an increase of 1.5 million more volunteers than 2010, according to a new report released by the Corporation for National & Community Service.
Also, 34.4 percent of people volunteered through religious organizations last year, the highest percentage in any sector, according to the report. Religious organizations often provide the best structure for organized volunteering and the best insight into on-the-ground-needs, said Wendy Spencer, CEO of CNCS.
High levels of volunteerism and civic engagement can lead to lower unemployment rates and stronger economic communities, she added.
Value of time
Altogether, Americans volunteered approximately 7.9 billion hours with formal organizations in 2011, with a value of $171 billion, according to the report.
"Volunteerism is part of supporting the economy in America by providing these services and time," Spencer said. "It's part of our citizenship."
The economic opportunity that comes with volunteering cannot be overlooked, she said. It addition to strengthening the economy of a community or state, volunteering can reap economic benefits for an individual. College graduates, young adults and those in a "transition" stage between high school and college have perhaps the most to gain.
"Volunteer by day. Prepare your resume at night," she said. "If you are volunteering with an organization during the day you are building up your skills, networking and meeting new people. I really believe that volunteering can lead to economic opportunity."
Desire to help
Some increase in the number of volunteers can be attributed to nonprofits and service organizations better articulating on-the-ground needs to potential volunteers, Spencer said.
"Sometimes when times are really tough organizations do a very good job of promoting the need. People do not like to hear that others may be homeless or going hungry."
Technology has also allowed people to help in ways like never before, said Sandy Scott, senior adviser for the CPCS. He noted the advent of volunteer search engines where people can search for opportunities by location that match their skills and interest.
"Technology has helped people get involved in a lot of new ways, whether it is across town or across the world," he said. "Social media is a way that people are learning about opportunities to serve and hearing about the impact they make."
Disasters, such as Hurricane Sandy, also present an opportunity for volunteering and service, Spencer said.
"Responding to disasters often brings out the best in Americans. We have a strong desire to help our neighbors in need."
The overall volunteering picture in America is "encouraging," Spencer said, and she cited an increase in parent volunteerism as a positive trend. Parents' volunteer rate is 33.7 percent and the national average is 26.8, according to the report.
"If parents of school-age children can volunteer, certainly the rest of us can give a little more of our time. This a good thing that parents are getting more engaged in their communities."
Spencer is also encouraged by the increasing number of applications for AmeriCorps, which is a national nonprofit partnership through which thousands of people volunteer every year. The number of applications last year for AmeriCorps was 582,000, she said.
"We are at our highest level of applications in history. So that says there is a great need and there is interest."
The interest and desire to help others can be traced back to our nation's history, Scott said.

FAA invitation raises hopes of Nashua airport official that tower will continue to operate
The Federal Aviation Administration's conference call invitation to all 149 airports scheduled to lose their control towers due to sequestration cuts came as a surprise to one local airport official.
Nashua Municipal Airport Authority Board of Commissioners Chairman Donald Davidson said the conference call, scheduled for April 2, is making him cautiously optimistic that perhaps the airport's tower might not close as scheduled April 7.
The FAA informed Nashua airport officials Thursday that they are invited to take part in a conference call hosted by J. David Grizzle, the chief operating officer of the Air Traffic Organization Division, and FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
"I don't want to get too excited, but I find (the request) surprising. We'll be there listening to what they have to say," Davidson said.

text: Crab Apple Cottage is in a great location and provides a superb base for traveling in the North East of England. We stayed for 3 nights and used it as a base to go to Alnwick Castle (Hogwarts). Margaret, Hugh and Jenny are really friendly and the whole experince was a good one. Good value too. Our children want to go back, but next time for longer - they loved the cottage and enjoyed the play area. We've already recommended Fenton Hill Farm Cottages to a friend. more

I'll just come right out with it: I really don't like the styling of the Z3. Never have and presumably at this point never will. And it isn't even something specific, but rather the entire package. So, back in the late '90s, when BMW announced they would be releasing the Z3-based M Roadster and M Coupe I wasn't entirely sure what to expect nor whether I'd like it. I did. The M Coupe is a wonderful design in its own ridiculous looking way and the M Roadster seems to fix whatever styling problems I had with the Z3. It's funny how more power and a better suspension can work its magic, right? They are still peculiar looking cars with odd proportions, but those curvier and more muscular looking lines fill out the body nicely and bring the entire package together. Some designs were just meant to be pushed to their extreme and the Z3 clearly seems like one of those. With better styling also comes better performance and even the early models with their lower-power S52 engine still pack a nice punch. This striking example is a Dakar Yellow 2000 BMW M Roadster, located in California, with just 20,446 miles on it.
All posts tagged 2000
I think many of us know that in the world of performance coupes the Porsche 996TT is incredibly tough to beat on value. What about sedans? Where does the buyer in need of proper rear seating and a decent trunk look for performance value? The place to start almost certainly is the E39 M5. These also happen to be my personal favorite of the breed. With the E39 you get 400hp mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and a shape that seems almost perfectly proportioned for a sedan. These are aggressive appearing without being comically so and seem to have had all of the extra fat trimmed away. While later M5s would showcase improved performance the design has never appealed to me and the current models seem huge by comparison. Best of all, these days an E39 is about as reasonably priced as they likely will ever get. A really low-mileage example may command a decent premium, but for a driver-quality car they're darn hard to beat. Here we have just such a driver-quality example: a Black on Black 2000 BMW M5, located in Arizona, with 56,610 miles on it.

2000 BMW M Roadster
After a long winter for many of us, clear skies and sunshine are back. A car like this M Roadster epitomizes summer, looking resplendent in Dakar Yellow. This particular example for sale in New York has under 50,000 miles on the clock and offers M3 levels of performance in a fun, diminutive drop-top package.

Convertible Week: 2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 5-speed manual
It was around my second year in college that the chance arose for me to finally get behind the wheel of the (then) newly introduced Mercedes SLK230. My first impression is that for such a small car, it drove just like a regular Mercedes. Except it was smaller. Up until around 15 years ago, I maintained that you could blindfold me and I could tell you if I was riding in a Mercedes or not. The SLK was no different. Steering with a bit of heft to it, a firm but compliant ride and a smooth automatic gearbox were the order of the day. Some complained about the agricultural nature of the supercharged inline-4, but it offered plenty of power to scoot you around in a hurry.
Mercedes upped the enthusiast ante shortly after the SLK debuted and offered a 5-speed manual gearbox. Not since the 190E had US customers been able to spec a Mercedes with three pedals. To this day, you can still order a new SLK250 with a 6-speed manual, but who knows how long that will last. I tend to think someone at Mercedes-Benz USA forgot this was on the menu. If you don't want to plunk down the coin for a new SLK, this SLK230 for sale in Pennsylvania gives you the chance to enjoy a lot of fresh air and the freedom to row your own.

However subtle the exterior modifications may be, the E39 M5's enlarged front aperture and unique wheels still grab my attention from blocks away. As nice examples become the exception, these super sedans are hovering around the bottom of their depreciation curve, no longer going down but not shooting up as quickly as they soon will. With examples between 50-100k miles hovering around $25-30k, this looks like an enthusiast-owned driver that's very nice but not perfect and being sold at a very reasonable price.

I've shot about 500 weddings and could not afford the time to develop and proof them. I printed all the final prints in both B&W and in color but developing is too much of a time waster.
I agree with glbeas, find a great lab and clearly mark everything.
You'll burn out if you start processing all this stuff yourself. Part of this job is farming out stuff that can be done cheaper (time wise) and concentrating on the part that needs high quality.
I used the same lab for 9 years for developing and never once had a problem although we've all heard horror stories. (like when someone stole the pickup drivers car on a Saturday and 60 weddings were lost.)
My two cents,
Michael McBlane

Something has been gnawing away at the back of my mind since the recent "Software + Service" Architect Forum with the Jam jar experiment in particular.
When I got to the venue I still need to get more pennies to fill the jam jar! I went to the coffee bar and the kind but perhaps confused lady agreed to hand over here pennies (20p). I added these, plus some from a co-presenter, but the jar still rattled suggesting more could be added. However, that was not the real worry. The real worry was that I was now unsure of whether the total of 421 was actually correct!
As you'll have seen in the previous post, 2 guys guessed 421 and the average (of collective wisdom of architects) came out at 419. Not bad and worthy of a round of applause!
However, the nagging doubt was still there, so today I decided to do a recount ....
So what do you reckon was the new total?
421 perhaps?
Nah .... that'd be far too easy!
The actual number in the jar was ....
!!!!!! 419 !!!!!
I'm going to have to go and lie down!

Jonny Gomes honors bombing victims with custom bats
|04.21.13 at 5:56 pm ET
Though he went 0-for-4 on Sunday, Red Sox left fielder Jonny Gomes had arguably the most notable plate appearances of the day by a member of the Red Sox. Gomes was using a pair of custom-made Victus bats meant to honor the three victims who died in Monday's bombings during the Boston Marathon as well as the police officer who lost his life in pursuit of the suspected perpetrators of the bombings.
His bat featured the inscription, "Boston Strong," with the names of Martin Richard, Lu Lingzi, Krystle Campbell and Sean Collier below the phrase.
Gomes said his agent contacted him to suggest that he either use or publicize the bats. Of the four that Gomes received, he employed two during the game — one in his first at-bat, another in his second plate appearance — and that he plans to have the entire team sign the bats and auction them off to raise money for One Fund Boston.
"I think there's a couple of other characteristics that come into play when you do become a professional, I don't think you're a professional just for your talents. I think you have to be a role model. You're representing the whole area," Gomes said of his desire to use the bats. "It's such a unique situation like that, it touched all our hearts, just from being scared in lockdown to some people losing their lives, so I mean, I think everyone is up to something, individually or as a team, to help the community out. It's definitely not about me by any means, it's just about who's on the bat, about the cause that it's going to help out.

Leadership: Egypt's sorry excuse for "democracy" has gone the way of the pharaohs after Friday's military coup. Good riddance. Coups are the only way out of fake democracies. But what's the way out of coups?
The big risk in Egypt is that the same corruption, special interests and disillusion will return after the military coup that threw the Muslim Brotherhood's odious Mohamed Morsi out of power.
Egypt's men in uniform again showed that only two political forces really matter in Egypt — Islamofascists like Morsi and the secular military.
As political scientist Daniel Pipes notes, civil society doesn't really count. So the concerns of Egypt's people — corruption, red tape, economic misery — could go unheeded and another revolution will return.
Yet a template from recent history shows just how to end the cycle of military and militants that will make Egypt's citizens matter.
The example is Chile.
Like with Morsi, Chile in 1973 was ruled by a so-called democrat, Salvador Allende, who after barely winning election revealed he didn't intend to govern democratically. A Marxist, Allende moved fast to ram through radical, Cuban-style "reforms" on an unwilling public.
Allende foreshadowed Morsi, demolishing political institutions, trampling the free press, disrespecting minority rights, ignoring the constitution, disregarding the separation of powers, trashing property rights and ruining the economy. Also, Allende was in thrall to a failed and inhuman foreign ideology — communism — just as Morsi was to Islamofascism. In both cases, the only exit was a military coup.
Had Chilean military commander Augusto Pinochet simply handed the country back to "democracy" without changing the root causes of the turmoil and tyranny, the cycle would have had a replay.
But he didn't. He used his military government as an incubator for free-market changes, transforming his country into not just Latin America's best economy, but also Latin America's most durable democracy. Pinochet — who stepped down dutifully after 17 years upon losing a referendum — understood that economic freedom had to precede political freedom. He employed a brilliant group of mostly University of Chicago-educated young Chilean economists, known as the Chicago Boys, to transform the society by cleaning out thousands of weedlike laws choking Chile's economy — on labor, mining, currency, fishing, vineyards, startups and pensions.
They made the central bank independent and instituted hard-core fiscal discipline that has left the country debt-free and pushed its credit rating toward triple A.
Thousands of businesses were freed to open and operate without thickets of regulations — resulting in the spate of Chilean products now seen in America's supermarkets: wine, fruit, fish.
Equality: California's new equal-pay law has everyone buzzing, especially Hollywood. But this law and others like it don't address one of the biggest equal-pay issues: the growing gap between government and private workers.Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has expressed dismay that she doesn't earn as much ...
Revolt: New polls show that over half of GOP voters favor the political outsiders running for president. They like candidates with real-world experience, and Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Donald Trump have that in abundance.The trio of non-politicians continues to lead the GOP pack. But for the ...
Scandal: We have now learned that Hillary Clinton's private email server was subject to multiple cyberattacks from abroad. Does anybody really believe that hackers didn't gain access to classified material?As first reported by the Associated Press, a cybersecurity firm hired to protect Clinton's ...
Congress: Republicans' go-along-to-get-along establishment lost when Rep. Kevin McCarthy unexpectedly withdrew from the race for Speaker of the House. Now is the time for strong, principled leaders to step forward.McCarthy was such a shoe-in for speaker, seemingly from the moment John Boehner ...
You win the presidency, Richard Nixon supposedly observed, by tacking to the right in the primaries and to the center in the general election. Hillary Clinton seems to be following that strategy except, as a Democrat, she is tacking to the left. This strategy has risks, as Nixon, who lost the ...

Wealthiest Zip Codes
Northern Virginia claims most of the area's richest neighborhoods.
Mary Clare Glover
Washington Business Journal
recently published a list of the 50 wealthiest Zip codes in the area. Virginia neighborhoods dominated, with 27 appearances, followed by Maryland's 19 and DC's 4. The rankings take into account household income, average net worth, home values, and the rate of increase of wealth.
Neighborhoods in Fairfax and Montgomery counties filled out the top 14 spots, until Loudon broke through at number 15. DC didn't even appear on the list until number 18, and even then it was in Georgetown's 20057 Zip code, home to the University—and only 33 households.
Here's the top ten:

About the ManufacturerIncomparable workmanship. Unsurpassed quality. A quest for perfection. It's what Howard C. Miller insisted on when he founded the company back in 1926 at the age of 21. p Even then, Howard Miller understood the need to create products that would be steeped in quality and value. He expected nothing less than the best. And it was only under those strict conditions that he allowed his name to grace every clock manufactured at their sprawling facility in Zeeland, Michigan. p Howard Miller was schooled in the fine art of clockmaking by his father, Herman, in the Black Forest region of Germany. Howard developed into a visionary whose keen sense of innovation spawned a tradition of excellence that has been uncompromised through three generations. p While the early years focused on the manufacture of chiming wall and mantel clocks, Howard Miller also produced trend-setting avant garde clocks that stand today in collectors' galleries. During World War II, Howard Miller joined forces with the Ford Motor Co. to produce anti-aircraft covers. In the 1960s, the company turned its attention to grandfather clocks, eventually earning the company the title of "World's Largest Grandfather Clock Manufacturer." p In 1989, Howard Miller began creating collectors cabinets with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship inherent in their clockmaking. Fashioned from glass and hardwoods, the cabinets are ideal for displaying heirlooms, plates, glassware and other collectibles. p As part of the company's continuing effort to bring customers only the best in handcrafted products, Howard Miller recently acquired three companies: The Hekman Furniture Company produces a strong cadre of carefully sculpted hardwood pieces that range from 18th and 19th Century reproductions, to contemporary products featuring fine metals and exotic woods. The Woodmark Company makes fine upholstered pieces. And the exquisite movement in many clocks we offer is made by Old World craftsmen employed by the Kieninger Company of Germany. p The legacy left by Howard C. Miller isn't an easy one to emulate. But it's the only way we know of doing business. Incomparable workmanship. Unsurpassed quality. A quest for perfection.

Ty Kiisel: Current hiring practices aren't working — here are 6 tips to get the right people
I think the hiring process is broken.
Over the last few years, we've let resume scrapers, personality tests, and other technology take too big a role in processing resumes, interviewing candidates and ultimately hiring new people. Successful candidates today write their resumes and cover letters to keywords and search terms to hopefully help them float to the top of the hundreds of resumes they are up against to fill a single job opening.
I know the technology goal is to help human resources and hiring managers weed out applicants who wouldn't be good fits in their organizations. But, although it may have streamlined the process of determining who should move forward through the interview process, I think in many instances it's pushed the wrong people through.
I've been at Lendio since this past spring. I'm here because a former colleague knew my capabilities and was in a position to tell me about a possible role for me when I asked about it. He was also in a position to speak for me when it came time to make a decision about whether or not to hire me. Although I had a very successful track record where I was, when I start to think about making this change, I can't help but wonder if I would have received any serious consideration had I been an unknown commodity.
I have other friends who haven't been so lucky.
Although this isn't intended to be an advertisement for my friend Geoff Crane, there will likely be some who think it is. I'm putting his name to the story because it's real and it's happening right now.
Geoff is a project management friend I've known and worked with virtually over the last several years. Not too long ago, he determined he needed to finish his education to better his career, so he went back to school. Since graduating, however, the pickings have been pretty slim — despite having a long, successful career of 22-plus years and a recent degree. So not long ago he offered a $25,000 finder's fee to anyone who could help him find a job. Again, I'm not interested in writing about the finder's fee, nor is this an advertisement to get him a job (though I'm sure he'd talk to you if you're interested). But it's a great example of how a broken system has forced a highly skilled and talented professional to go to drastic lengths to find a job.
Unfortunately, despite getting some airtime on his local TV station, a couple of articles in the news and some interesting PR, he's still looking for a job.
I recently read an article written by Evernote CEO Phil Libin on how his company hires and keeps the best talent. Although most of it is real common sense (and doesn't rely on a resume scraper), I think it bears repeating here. Here's the list (with my comments after each tip):
Recommendations from close friends (or just hiring close friends) is the best way to start
I currently work with a number of colleagues and friends I've worked with before. Many of them where here before I was. They knew what I was capable of, and knew how we would work together. The logic of this is pretty straightforward. Evernote offers what Libin describes as a "generous bonus" if they end up hiring someone referred by an employee.
Hire people smarter than you (or at least smarter about their particular job than you are)
Several years ago, when I was leading the creative team at Response (a local ad agency), we made it a point to seek out the right talent. If we didn't find a good fit, we wouldn't hire. We thought it was more important to hire the right people and wouldn't settle for the best person of those who had applied. It often meant waiting, but as a result, we got to work with some incredibly talented people.

I worked at Boeing as a contractor (More than a year)
As a former employee of this company I was first impressed with the HR staff, they were with from start to finish, they were also available after job placement. The benifit package is one of the better ones offered by some. You were provided western style housing, individual transportation, full medical package, airfare to/from home of record. On site managers availbla 24/7 to provide any necessary assistance you may require. Compensation package included basic salary, annual bonus, and contract completion bonus.
The only real issue that concerned most of the staff was the travel time to and from the worksite, however after a few months it doesn't seem so bad.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good things you do for the employees.

Re: [hreg] Tank-less demand water heaters
Expand Messages
- Home depot stocks them and has them on display. Lowes has them on display
but must order them, they also have a huge mark up for propane which home
depot doesn't. They are fairly easy to install yourself. If you are using
a gas/propane one be warned: they use a 5" flue not the standard 3" flue
that a tank style hot water heater uses. This can make the changeover
expensive in an existing home. Also, if you are using one to back up solar
hot water, make sure you get the right model. Only certain ones have
temperature sensors in them, the rest just take your water and raise it a
set amount of degrees, depending on how you set it. [one flame or
three] The water can be heated to cause injury without meaning to have it
that hot. [slow running water heats hotter] Hope this helps.
Bright Blessings,

Rule Britannia?
Many many years ago the British Empire was a major force throughout Asia and really throughout the world. Indeed for over a century it was the foremost global power and it was said that it was the empire on which the sun never sets. And if you look at old maps from that time the empire was coloured pink so most maps up until the second half of the 20th century were more or less pink! Well those days are gone and British influence in Asia is mostly about business. That is until now....so what's changed.
Three weeks ago the Foreign and Defence Ministers of the UK and Australia met in London for their annual meeting to discuss matter arising in both portfolios in both nations. What made this meeting different is that Britain's defence role in Asia was discussed. The days of empire are long gone so what did they mean by that? Can Britannia rule the waves again?

Mr. Harry White 'The British left the 'Their world' in a decent shape after the collapse of their Empire?' The opium addicted Chinese? The land grabbing wars in New Zealand,
the genocide in Australia? The outragious treatment of Indians and Egyptians? The sub-division of the Arab world after the first WW so that problems would always fester.
You have made a mockery of history

Couldnt agree more.
The book Britain's Empire by Richard Gott describes the dark truth about the British empire, and what should rightly be called the stolen wealth of the plundered nations, including Australia.
Doomsday Chook :

'Late Victorian Holocausts' by Mike Davis, which outlines the Great Famines in India directly caused by English rule, the last of which was the Great Bengal Famine of the 1940s, that killed ten million, reveals that the English, just in India, probably committed the greatest series of genocides in history. And India was just one of the regions devastated by these creatures, who are still at it today, as the Holocaust inflicted on Iraq in the aggression from 2003 shows.
