Tulsa University sports fans know a good coach when they see one. They're also achingly familiar with the sight of a good coach's back as he walks away.
Nolan Richardson coached there before leading Arkansas to a national basketball title. Tubby Smith coached there before winning a ring at Kentucky. Bill Self coached there before moving on to Illinois and then Kansas.
So a school known as a basketball steppingstone is doing what it can to become a football destination for Steve Kragthorpe, who happens to be the hottest grid coach outside the BCS. Tulsa is putting the "T" in Trying.
It gave Kragthorpe more money and more years on his recently announced new contract, extending the deal through 2011 and tying in a completion bonus at the end. It included a clause in the contract stating that his family can travel with the team on every road trip. It's building him a 30,000-square-foot football complex that's scheduled to be completed next summer. It got his program out of the Western Athletic Conference and into Conference USA, a better geographic fit for the Golden Hurricane.
He appreciates the effort.
"I am very happy at Tulsa," Kragthorpe said. "It's a great place to work and a great place to raise a family.
"The decisions I have made that put my family first have worked out great. The decisions I've made that looked great for Steve, some of those didn't work out so well. This is the best job I've ever had. It's probably the toughest job I've ever had, too. But unfortunately our society likes to equate good with easy.
"People thought I was crazy coming to Tulsa, but it's worked out."
It has worked out splendidly. But don't count on Kragthorpe living on Tulsa time forever.
If Bobby Petrino had gotten the LSU job that he and Les Miles interviewed for in 2004, Kragthorpe might easily be coaching at Louisville right now. Other schools inquired about him in 2005, and Bill Parcells reportedly dangled an assistant's job out there with the Cowboys.
But the 41-year-old Kragthorpe remained at Tulsa and now heads into his fourth season on the job. If a Hurricane team that returns plenty of key parts comes close to duplicating last year's run -- a 9-4 record, C-USA championship and upset of Fresno State in the Liberty Bowl -- then every search firm and search committee will have Kragthorpe on speed dial. (And it could be a very busy year in the college job market.)
Sure, his 21-17 record in three years doesn't exactly leap off the paper. But consider where Tulsa was when he got there in 2003: coming off 11 straight losing seasons. The Hurricane didn't win 21 games in its previous seven seasons pre-Kragthorpe.
In the previous two, Tulsa went 2-21. This was a program that lost by 44 points to Louisiana Tech in 2002, and surrendered 180 points in one three-game stretch of touch football in 2001.
So now you know why all those people thought he was crazy to leave his job as quarterbacks coach with the Buffalo Bills for this quagmire. But an average coach's graveyard can turn into an excellent coach's springboard. If you can win at a place like Tulsa, people will notice.
Along the way, Kragthorpe has proved to be a more well-rounded coach than most people give him credit for.
He's supposed to be all about scoring points, but Tulsa ranked 40th in total defense last year nationally and 39th in total offense -- and defense should be the strength of this year's team.
He knows the impact of turnover margin on the bottom line. After watching his team dip to 4-8 in 2004 with a minus-10 turnovers, he saw last year's team rebound with a remarkable plus-18 in that category.
He grew up watching his dad, Dave, coach for LaVell Edwards at BYU and implement a wide-open passing game as a college head coach. But his Tulsa teams run the ball very effectively (166 yards rushing per game last year and 236 passing).
"From the time I could remember sitting in football stadiums and watching my dad's teams, the ball was always in the air," Kragthorpe said. "But I believe in balance, and balance is taking what the defense gives you. If they're going to give you the run, take the run."
Vivid example: As the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M, Kragthorpe dialed up just eight passes against Nebraska, at one point calling 22 straight runs. Later that same year, in the Big 12 championship game against Kansas State, Kragthorpe called 15 straight passes at one point.
But even though he's established himself as an all-around coach, Kragthorpe's specialty remains working with quarterbacks. And that's very much in vogue right now in a head coach, if you look at the roughly $60 million worth of multiyear contracts that QB gurus Charlie Weis and Petrino signed within the last year.
When Kragthorpe arrived at Tulsa, he groomed first-year starter James Kilian into a guy who threw for 2,217 yards as the Hurricane shockingly won eight games. Kilian piled up more than 4,400 yards in two years as a starter, then last year Kragthorpe plugged in sophomore Paul Smith, who chucked it for 2,847 yards and 20 touchdowns.
In a league that celebrates quarterbacks Jordan Palmer at UTEP and Kevin Kolb at Houston, it was the less-lauded Smith who led C-USA in passing efficiency in '05 at 142.9.
Of course, Kragthorpe has seen good quarterbacks all his life. He remembers being taped to a locker as a kid at BYU by a guy named Jim McMahon, after all.
Kragthorpe loved being around his dad at the football offices then, and still enjoys it today. Dave Kragthorpe serves as an administrative assistant at Tulsa, drawing a salary of $1 a year.
"He's probably overpaid," his son drolly noted.
They'll probably reunite in Provo Sept. 9 with another family member who spends his Saturdays at the football stadium: Salt Lake Tribune sports columnist Kurt Kragthorpe, who could have the opportunity to rip his brother's coaching when Tulsa plays BYU that day.
But football trickles down the family tree, too. The head coach's three sons are often around the Tulsa complex, throwing the football with the sons of other coaches.
"Some of the best games at our practice field are not our team playing them," Kragthorpe said. "They're the 7-on-7 games our kids are playing on the corner of the field. We have to be careful to coach our players and not spend our time coaching them."
Tulsa fans have good reason to wonder whose players Steve Kragthorpe will be coaching in 2007. Despite the school's best efforts, he's probably one good season away from a new job up the football food chain.

There was only us the two of us and Marc our tour guide on the tour which was very good .Marc was very knowledgable about Prague and even made a diversion to look around the Jewish area of Prague at our request,we felt very at ease with Marc and felt able to ask questions. The 3 hours passed without us noticing.
We would definitely recommend taking this walking tour if you like history.

Another excellent tour!
The tour starts at the Powder Tower and ends at the Castle. 3 hours passed so fast that we have not even noticed. You'd see everything that is important to see and know about in Old Town and New Town, then you'd walk over Charls' bridge, then to the Castle.
Very rich history, various architecture styles well preserved, a lot of interesting facts. All kudos to the guide who was extremely knowledgable and accomodating: if the group expressed an interest to learn more about particular thing or to sneak into a site that was along our path but not necesserely part of the tour, she would not only allow that but provide all detail about the subject in question like that was part of the tour.
Highly recommended!

Well it started alright but the guide was in some hurry! Infact after the tour finished she just started walking fastly and next thing I see from distance is the guide running for the bus and she vanished! That was horrible. I was left with no info in the middle of The city! -_-
February 2015
This tour was terrible the tour guide was very unprofessional. First she wanted to drive us in her private car because she didn't want to walk up the hill! we declined this and wanted to actually experience the walking tour! The woman was talking about lots of things and there was some history in her speech but most often she spoke of illegal drugs, getting her son drunk on absinthe when he was a toddler, and making racist, sexist and bigoted comments about the people surrounding us. We found it highly embarrassing to be walking with her and couldnt wait to leave. There were only three people on the tour and all of us couldn't actually believe this womans conduct. When we finally got up to the castle the tour guide then stopped to eat lunch at a cafe while we waited for her to continue the tour. The tour went an hour and a half over the recommended time because she stopped every 5-10minutes to have a rest as we were walking. We would not recommend this tour.

Benkadi 1 Group
They have joined the microfinance institution Soro Yiriwaso in order to successfully carry out their farming activities during the rainy season.
They are on their second loan with the institution and have duly repaid their previous loan.
Yacouba, a member of the group, grows maize. In the photo, he is standing first from the right.
Yacouba plans to use his loan to buy agricultural inputs and seeds, and to cover the cost of plowing to cultivate two hectares (4.97 acres) of land.
After the harvest, he sells his production to both men and women, in his village and in Garalo.
He is expecting to make a profit of 150,000 CFA francs per growing season. This profit will allow him to repay his loan and to take care of the daily expenses.
Ils collaborent avec l'institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso afin de mener à bien leurs activités agricoles pendant l'hivernage.
Ils sont à leur deuxième prêt avec l'institution et le prêt passé a été bien remboursé.
La spéculation cultivée est le maïs avec Yacouba 1er debout de la droite vers la gauche sur la photo.
Avec son prêt, elle compte acheter des intrants, la semence et payer les frais de labour pour exploiter 2 hectares.
La production est vendue au niveau du village et à Garalo après la récolte à une clientèle composée d'hommes et de femmes.
Il compte réaliser un bénéfice de 150.000 FCFA en fin de campagne.
Ce bénéfice lui permettra de payer son prêt et aussi les dépenses quotidiennes.

Peanut Butter Dream is a recipe that I thought of when I made my Minty Fresh for the Baron of Baking. It's actually in an old issue of the Recipe Club as the exclusive recipe, but it's just so good that I think the whole world deserves to try it.
I know what you're thinking. How can this recipe have anything to do with St. Patrick's Day? It's not green and there's definitely no beer in it. It starts with the fact that I was going through my Irish Cuisine Cookbook, looking for inspiration and there was my Minty Fresh in the book! It was called Shamrock Brownies, or something to that effect, but there you go! And the connection is that these Peanut Butter Dream Brownies were something I dreamed up for a birthday while I was making the Minty Fresh.
These Peanut Butter Dream Brownies are absolutely incredible. They're sweet, and slightly salty, and a small pan will go very far.
Irish Apple Cake is possibly the quintessential Irish dessert. The apples give it sweetness, while the cinnamon and ginger spice it perfectly, and the chopped nuts add texture. This cake can come together in a variety of ways, depending on how you want it to look when you're done, but one thing that stays the same is the taste.
I made a large bundt cake version of Irish Apple Cake for this recipe and took it to a friend's to share. The whole thing was gone in under 30 minutes. There were only 6 of us. The fragrance alone had everyone's eyes rolling back in delight. Make it for yourself and see!
Sweet Rib Rub is perfect for ribs, but goes great on chicken and beef too!

I love the character of Xiao Qiao! She and her sister are just plain awesome, especially in the Dynasty Warriors games set in the Three Kingdoms time period. Although you can be sure in actual history they didn't kick nearly that much butt, they were still by all accounts lovely women and true beauties. You've captured this Quiao sister's beautiful masterfully here! Very lovely, and very well-done indeed.

Capiz is a 1st class province of the Philippines located in the Western Visayas region. Its capital is Roxas City and is located at the northeastern portion of Panay Island, bordering Aklan and Antique to the west, and Iloilo to the south. Capiz faces the Sibuyan Sea to the north. Capiz is known for the Placuna placenta oyster shell that has the same name locally and is used for decoration and making lampshades, trays, window and doors. Likewise, the province is known as the Seafood Capital of the Philippines[3] and was among the top 15 most frequently visited places in the Philippines.[4] Capiz is the site of the famous coral-stone Sta. Monica Church in the town of Pan-ay, home to the largest Catholic Church bell in Asia. The bell was made from 70 sacks of gold and silver coins donated by the townsfolk. Measuring seven feet in diameter, five feet in height and weighing 10,400 kilograms or just over 10 metric tons, the Pan-ay bell is popular among tourists visiting Capiz.
- An inscription on the bell reads:
- "Soy la voz de Diosquellevare y ensalzaredesde el principio hasta el fin de este Pueblo de Panay para que los fieles de Jesus vengan a esta casa de Dios a recibirlas gracias celestials."
- Translated to English, this means:
- "I am God's voice which I shall echo and praise from one end to the other of the town of Panay, so that the faithful followers of Christ may come to this house of God to receive the heavenly graces."[5]

The account of early Spanish explorers about Capiz and its People was traced back in the year 1566 when the Spaniards set foot in the mouth of Banica river. Early settlements were seen in the town of Pan-ay which the town originally called Bamban which was changed by the early Spaniards to Panay, a word which means "mouth of the river." This is also the location of a fortress built by Juan de la Isla in late 1570. The Paseo de Evangelizacion 1566 can be found in the town plaza and was erected through the efforts of Rev. Msgr. Benjamin F. Advincula.
When the Spaniards led by Miguel López de Legazpi came to Panay from Cebu in 1569, they found people with tattoos, and so they called the island Isla de los Pintados.[6] How the island itself came to be called Panay is uncertain. The Aeta called it Aninipay, after a plant that abounded in the island. Legend has it that López de Legazpi and his men, in search of food, exclaimed upon the island, pan hay en esta isla!. They established their first settlement on the island at the mouth of the Banica River and called it Pan-ay. This was the second Spanish settlement in the Philippines, following San Miguel, Cebu. Unknown to many, Calle Revolución in Panay town is the second oldest street in the Philippines after Calle Colon in Cebu City.
Later in 1569, Captain Diego de Artieda, who was sent by Legazpi, landed in the Town of Panay and proclaimed it as the capital of the province. Later, the Spaniards moved the capital to its present site upon discovering the town of Capiz (not the province, and now Roxas City) which was near the sea and provided docking facilities.
The province was created a separate "encomienda" and was later organized into a politico-military unit in 1716. The American takeover of the Philippines resulted in the establishment of a civil government in Capiz on April 15, 1901 by virtue of Act 115.[7]
In 1942, the region was occupied by Japanese troops. In 1945, the region was liberated by the joint Filipino and American troops with Capiznon guerrillas.
Capiz and Aklan were united under one province until April 25, 1956, when President Ramon Magsaysay signed into law Republic Act 1414 separating the two entities.

Historians and ethnologists narrowed down to three types of people known to have inhabited Capiz: Aeta, popularly known as Negritos; Indonesian descendants of the Mundo tribe in central Panay; and the Malays.
Sulod Tribe[edit]
Located in Tapaz, Capiz, it is a cultural minority of Indonesian stock that worships spirits, practice secondary burial, and hunt with blowguns. The Sulod love personal ornaments. The necklace worn is not only an ornament and a status symbol but also an anting-anting or amulet.

Roman Catholics are predominant with 70 percent adherence, the Aglipayan Church has a strong minority with 20 percent while other minorities are Born Again Christians, Iglesia Ni Cristo, Methodists,The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Baptists and Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventist among others.

Capiznon is concentrated in the province of Capiz in the northeast of Panay Island. It is a member of the Visayan language family and the people are part of the wider Visayan ethnolinguistic group, who constitute the largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group. It is often confused with Ilonggo or Hiligaynon, but it has its own unique vocabulary and accent.
With its 80-kilometer coastline and wide expanse of swampy lands easily converted into fishponds, Capiz is dubbed as the "Seafood Capital of the Philippines". It holds one of the richest fishing grounds and is a major contributor in the aquamarine industry of the Philippines. Farming and fishing are the primary sources of income for the people. The combined natural bounty of land and sea sustain a vibrant food industry. Primary agricultural raw products are rice, corn, coconut, sugarcane, banana and cut flower. Apart from a surplus of agricultural products, Capiz is also a major supplier of prawn and milk fish. Other agro-industrial harvests include blue marlin, squid, oysters, shrimp, seaweed, and angel wings. Rich fish ponds attract investors to venture into prawn culture, prawn feed manufacture, seaweed farming and the distribution and processing of other marine products. A robust workforce of 445,246 operates with a literacy rate of 92.04%. The agricultural sector ensures the province as one of the wealthiest in the Western Visayas Region. Its relatively unexplored caves are said to have high deposits of mineral resources such as limestone, gold and metal.

A negative reputation has followed Africa since the bulk of the nations
on that continent won independence from colonial occupation. Poverty,
disease, hunger, war and corruption are closely associated with African
countries in the minds of many people across the world. Such a
perception could be on the verge of changing. Economic development
opportunities are rising throughout Africa and investment there is
poised to be the next big thing.
When people think of business growth, they think of the major continents
of North America and Asia. But an unexpected economic riser that's
following in the footsteps of Asia has appeared on the second largest
continent of the world.
The space age has reached Africa. Recently, the world's top scientists
met at the annual conference of the International Astronautical
Federation (IAF) held for the first time in Africa. It also marked the
50th anniversary of human space flight.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, enthusiastically welcomed the
Nobel Peace Prize award on Friday, describing it as recognition for
years of fighting for democracy in her country. The announcement comes
just days before Sirleaf seeks re-election for a second five-year term
next Tuesday.
A weeklong trip to Africa with their mother has offered a rare look at
Malia and Sasha Obama, sisters who are largely kept out of public view.
Michelle Obama says her meeting with Nelson Mandela was a "surreal experience" that she's still trying to process.
Michelle Obama heard stories of South Africa's racist past Tuesday from
Nelson Mandela, the country's first black president.
In order for the generation born after apartheid to understand the past,
the gov't brought 250 teens to visit the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg.
Michelle Obama will honor the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the struggle
against apartheid during an official visit to southern Africa next week.
Michelle Obama is fond of saying there's no magic to her being first lady. It's a message that young leaders in Africa soon will hear when Mrs.
Obama makes her second solo trip abroad as first lady, visiting South
Africa and Botswana this coming week.

I recently backed up GTA3 to my harddrive and used craxation to make an iso. I burned the iso on TDK DVD-R with nero on 2x burn. I put it in my xbox with xecuter 2.3b+ and it worked perfect the first time. The second time it froze on the loading screen, but it did that once on the original so i thought nothing of it. But now, 3 days later it has froze atleast 4 more times three times at the load screen, and once an error came up saying the disc could be damaged or dirty. Could it be that it was just like a half bad burn or is it that my XBOX doesnt like TDK?

I would say your xbox doesn't like TDK. What DVD drive do you have? ...Thompson, samsung, or phillips? Try to buy EVEN cheaper dvd-r media. Or try fuji film I have had alot of luck with those.

If your child prematurely loses a baby tooth, there's no need to try to replace it. But if a permanent tooth is dislodged, it's a dental emergency. Permanent teeth have the best chance of survival if replaced within 15 minutes. So it's important to act quickly and follow the guidelines below.
Many other dental injuries are less urgent, but may need to be looked at by a dentist. Most dental injuries in preschool and school-age kids occur from falls, while dental injuries in teens are often sports related.
Go to the dentist or emergency room right away after following these steps:
Make sure kids wear mouthguards and protective gear for contact sports and helmets while biking, skateboarding, and inline skating. Childproof your house to prevent falls.

Army 'cycle school' teaches motorcycling fundamentals
August 21, 2008
By Pfc. Lee Min-hwi (USAG-Yongsan)
<b>YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea</b> Master Sgt. Gregory Deschapell, 8th U.S. Army, has been operating motorcycles for about three years in Korea. Although he has never had an accident, he knows it's important to brush up on motorcycle safety skills.
"It's always good to have a refresher," he said. "Sometimes, when you go out there and start riding, you get some bad habits. So, it's always good to come back and learn about the basics over again."
He was one of seven people who attended the Army Traffic Safety Training Program Basic Riders Course at Yongsan Aug. 11-12. Anyone who wants to operate a motorcycle must attend this free program.
ATSTP is available at all major Army installations worldwide to provide courses of instruction to make sure that all military personnel who operate motorcycles are trained properly, according to lead instructor Scott Steuerwald. His company, Capefox Professional Services, is contracted by the Army to manage the program.
"The Army Traffic Safety Training Program has been around for three years," Steuerwald said. "We have trained over 30,000 motorcycle riders within the Army. This program is all over the world where the Army goes."
ATSTP offers three different courses in Korea: the Basic Riders Course, the Experienced Riders Course, and the New Military Sport Bike Course. The first two courses are required by Defense Department regulation for anyone who plans to operate a motorcycle, Steuerwald said.
Those regulations define a motorcycle as "any motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of its operator and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground." This includes motor scooters and motorized or motor-assisted bicycles.
"There are written tests and skills test required to successfully pass the courses," Steuerwald said. "Upon completing those, then you can get a USFK motorcycle endorsement."
U.S. Forces Korea Regulation 190-1, which governs license and registration in Korea, also requires anyone operating a motorcycle or moped and has obtained a USFK license to attend refresher training every three years, just like Deschapell did.
"You always have to know that there is room to grow and learn," Deschapell said. "Certainly, riding in Korea has taught me that. You have to be able to anticipate what the traffic will do. You have to be able to analyze the traffic situation and adjust your riding behavior to that."
The Basic Riders Course, a two-day course, teaches the fundamentals like physical and mental skills needed to operate a motorcycle safely. Participants learn about risk management and special riding situations in classrooms, along with basic controls such as straight line riding, stopping, turning and shifting in the field.
The Experienced Riders Course, a six-hour course, focuses more on safety skills needed for survival in traffic. It teaches skills like stopping quickly, cornering and swerving, rider responsibility and motorcycle inspection.
Staff Sgt. Tiffinie Irvin, of the 8th U.S. Army Equal Employment Opportunity Office, was one of the participants in the Basic Riders Course.
"I feel that I have learned a lot of information and receive great training," she said. "I will be attending the classes in the future to further my skills in riding and until I buy my motorcycle. It has been something I have been wanting to do for a while."

Suckow, 11 years old, has written many stories, but this is her first published book. "I'm really excited, and also a little embarrassed by all the attention," said Suckow.
She created the book originally as a hand-colored, hand-written book smaller than a deck of cards and stapled together. After bringing it to school, several of her classmates asked for a copy. After meticulously recreating and hand-drawing eight copies, Suckow's mother decided to pursue publishing the book, which was just released on Amazon this morning.
Suckow hopes to become a writer when she grows up, and already has started working on her second book.
"Corny the Lost Unicorn" is available for purchase at http://www.Amazon.com for $7.99.

After Hurricane Katrina hit the small town of Pass Christian in Mississippi, many in the community were displaced, homes were lost, and schools and churches were destroyed.

"Here was a town facing every problem known to man… they didn't have lights, sewers, water, streets, anything," says Lolly Barnes, Executive Director of the Mississippi Heritage Trust. "And yet they said this building was worthy of saving."... Read More →

I'd like to order these sheets in king size. If I order the white sheets with navy embroidery, is the embroidery "chain stitch'?
If possible, I'd like to see a photo of the navy chain stitch bedding on a bed with and without a monogram if possible. Just want to make sure before I order that the navy embroidery on white sheets is a chain stitch design.
Many thanks!

Henley research shows how company secretaries raise the performance of charity boards
London, 3 July 2014 – new research by Henley Business School reveals that top performing company secretaries, or those fulfilling a similar role, make a significant contribution to board performance, share the same qualities as good chairmen and enable effective decision-making. A sometimes undervalued and often misunderstood role, it is intrinsic to organisational success in the charity sector.
The highlights of the research are as follows:
- The role is much more than dealing with administration. Top performers deliver strategic leadership. The third member of the top team alongside the chairman and chief executive, the company secretary is a vital, independent bridge linking the board and the executive.
- Company secretaries align the interests of different parties around a boardroom table, facilitate dialogue, gather and assimilate relevant information, and enable effective decision-making.
- The skills and attributes of the best company secretaries are closest to those of the chairman: humanity, humility, high intelligence, negotiation and resilience.
The research, The Company Secretary: Building trust through governance, was led by Professors Andrew and Nada Kakabadse, who engaged with over 200 company secretaries, chairmen, NEDs and CEOs from not-for-profit, private and public sector boards and governing bodies in the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and internationally. Undertaken in collaboration with ICSA, it scrutinises the unique role of the company secretary, exploring what they do and the qualities they need to perform the role effectively.
Growing public mistrust of institutions has seen governance explode in importance, with all types of organisations – private, public and not-for-profit – having to explain their work more clearly to the public and seeking to embed good governance as part of good practice. This means that charity secretaries have more to do than ever in terms of meeting increased public and regulatory scrutiny as the guardians and leaders of good governance.
The increasingly strategic nature of the role is crucial when applied to the not-for-profit sector where money resulting from public funding or private donations must be spent wisely, effectively and ethically. High performing company secretaries understand the background and wider implications of decision-making, move between the detail and the broader, long-term implications, and can guide or advise board members impartially without being swayed by the cause.
The importance of the role is highlighted by Andrew Hind, editor of Charity Finance magazine and former chief executive of the Charity Commission. "This research offers a timely reminder of the important role a company secretary can play in a large charity – particularly in supporting the all-important governance relationship between the trustees and executive management."
Stuart Reynolds, Charity Chief Executive, Birmingham Children's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust adds: "I was pleased to take part in the Henley Business School research into the role of the company secretaries in enabling board success. The findings of Andrew Kakabadse and his team should help boards to get more value from the company secretaries. I was particularly struck by the finding that board members often have a lack of awareness of the ways company secretaries support their organisations – hopefully this research will help to increase that awareness."
The research identifies the importance of a good working relationship between the chairman, CEO and company secretary and points out that company secretaries are often the longest-serving board members whose wealth of knowledge about an organisation's history and culture provides priceless continuity.
Other key findings include:
- The role is changing and is increasingly outward-focussed with the company secretarial role now incorporating investor engagement and corporate communications.
- Board members often lack awareness of the ways in which the company secretary supports decision-making. As a result, boards can miss out on making full use of the skills, knowledge and experience at their disposal.
- Company secretaries are embedded in the process of making boards more effective; they contribute by observing boards in action and advising on any skills gaps that need to be filled.
- The breadth and depth of the role means that it must retain independence to rebalance power as required and demonstrate accountability.
- Company secretaries must have both direct and informal access to board members.
- A company secretary's direct reporting line should be to the chairman.
ICSA Chief Executive Simon Osborne feels that "The research reveals the crucial role played by company secretaries in maintaining the complex and occasionally strained relationships between chief executives, chairmen and their boards. It highlights the crucial management, organisational and strategic function of the company secretary, and illustrates why the next generation of these often hidden, yet vital professionals urgently need improved recognition, training and mentoring. We believe, and this is borne out by the research, that ICSA-qualified company secretaries deliver a more rounded governance and board member service than those who have come to the role via other professional routes. As the guardians of governance, their value to organisational success is now more vital than ever."
Andrew Kakabadse, Professor of Governance and Leadership at Henley, feels that it is now time for the company secretary role to come to the fore. "Company secretaries are the only ones with access to all relevant information, know the culture of an organisation inside out, and are attuned to the reality of what is happening on the board and in the organisation. They have only one agenda – what is best for the company and the board."

What Is the EAP?
Why wait until taking the EPT and ELM to find out what subjects you need to brush up on and which topics you already excel in? The Early Assessment Program (EAP) is designed to help high school juniors and seniors improve weak areas and polish strong ones by the time they begin taking classes at CSU.
Why It Works
The CSU has worked with the State Board of Education (SBE) and the California Department of Education (CDE) to develop the Early Assessment Program (EAP). The EAP incorporates the CSU's placement standards into existing high school standards tests in English and mathematics.
Get in the Know
After you take the test, you will receive a score report that tells you whether you need additional preparation for college-level work or meet CSU's requirements for freshman math and English courses. Visit CSU's Success website for available tools to help you pinpoint your individual strengths and weaknesses. If you need more time to prepare, you have your entire senior year to do so.

Billionaire Green to Lead Efficiency Review of U.K. Spending
Philip Green, the billionaire owner of Arcadia Group Ltd., will lead an external efficiency review into U.K. government spending, the Cabinet Office said.
Green, who will be supported by officials from the Cabinet Office and the Treasury, has been asked to examine all government spending in the past three years and identify inefficiencies and potential savings, according to an e-mailed statement. His remit includes a review of all leases and contracts entered into since 2007.
"We are extremely fortunate to have Sir Philip, with his immense commercial experience and of course his fantastic track record at managing large organizations, on board," Minister for the Cabinet Office Francis Maude said in the statement. "Sir Philip has made clear to the government the importance of his business remit which has always been that efficient operating is different from cost cutting and removing jobs."
Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition government has pledged to make savings of 6.2 billion pounds ($9.7 billion) this year in a bid to cut the largest budget deficit since World War II. It is examining more than 60,000 suggestions made by public-sector workers after an appeal for ideas of where government services can be more efficient.
Green, whose company owns the Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Burton brands, said his government role has the support of Arcadia Chief Executive Officer Ian Grabiner and their experience of procurement across the U.K. will help in the assessment of government spending.
"I will give this efficiency review my very best effort knowing how hugely important it is to the recovery of the country," Green said. "I want to help focus, motivate and energize to achieve these efficiency savings. It is these actions that will re-start growth in the U.K."
