The Gillard government may be feeling a little miffed by the muted market response to its latest efforts to get the retail corporate bond market up and running. And there's an element of truth in the view that the broader push to stoke the corporate bond market did not get the recognition it deserved.
In a climate when the overwhelming global trend is towards re-regulating, market-based policies that de-regulate are rare as hens' teeth.
Policy-makers have taken all the required steps by removing unnecessary barriers.
Now it's a matter of waiting for the prevailing macro factors to turn more favourable in encouraging issuers and investors.
In the spirit of new year optimism, it's worth pointing out why Australian companies will turn to retail bonds this year, rather than why they will not.
Issuance of senior ranking corporate bonds has been virtually non-existent, even in a $13 billion record year in 2012 for listed income securities.
The single listed corporate bond issue was a $195 million, seven-year bond raising by Tatts Group in June. The raising proved to be a battle: underwriters only just scraped together the amount, which fell short of the targeted size of $200 million, while pricing at the wider end of the range.
At 6.6 per cent, Tatts did not offer an attractive headline rate compared with the higher yielding offers that surrounded it.
But investors who bought the Tatts bonds have been rewarded. Issued at $100, they now change hands at $105. That's an equivalent margin over the bank rate of 219 basis points, against the 310 basis point issuance margin.
So why did a retail bond work from Tatts' perspective? And why might it work for others?
There are several reasons. Tatts made the best use of absorbing the expensive costs of a retail bond by issuing a longer-term bond of seven years, rather than the standard five. The term met the company's requirement for longer-term, non-bank financing while amortising the fixed costs, such as broker commissions, legal and listing fees over a longer period.
Another important factor that led Tatts down the retail route is its lack of a credit rating. Without an investment grade rating, a company is practically unable to issue a bond into the wholesale market. A sub-investment, or junk rating, allows access the US and European junk bond market, but for most Australian companies the derivative costs of accessing this market are prohibitive.
Bond fund mandates can be restrictive
Any corporate bond investor worth his salt will tell you that credit ratings are merely a secondary input in their investment decision. Yet the reality is that the majority of their fund mandates are constructed around ratings and their ability to buy unrated bonds is severely restricted.
The influence of credit rating agencies in the capital markets cannot be understated.
What does this mean for Australian companies? Of the ASX 200, excluding financials, only 25 per cent have been assigned investment grade credit ratings. This is not a reflection of poor credit quality and high leverage of Australian corporate balance sheets, of which aggregate gearing is only at around 25 per cent.
Most Australian listed firms don't qualify for an investment grade rating simply because the rating agencies reward scale. While the agencies stress a business's levels of indebtedness and ability to service that debt, an emphasis is placed on market share, which is benchmarked against global peers which operate in larger markets. A large swathe of corporate Australia does not qualify. Some Australian fund managers do have mandates flexible enough to let them buy non-investment grade corporate bonds, and some of these bought the Tatts bonds. But there aren't many.
Bankers estimate that prospective buyers of non-rated bonds constitute about 15 per cent of the managed corporate bond debt. Rating agencies have given these investors an opportunity to outperform their peers, by investing in bonds that allow them to achieve higher returns without taking on too much additional credit risk.
There are undoubtedly companies such as Tatts that have high capacity to service debt and are eager to shift their financing away from the banks, yet are not rated. The big four banks know how lucrative this mid-cap sector of the market has been.
Until now they've been able to charge attractive margins to lend to a captive audience. But more corporate treasurers have come to appreciate that it is in their interests to seek alternative sources of debt and on more flexible terms than their banks can provide.
If more local bond funds expanded their mandates and did their analysis on companies the rating agencies have overlooked, they could emerge as the much-needed cornerstone of a deeper listed bond market.

NASSAU, Bahamas – Former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith will be buried beside her son Friday in a custom-made gown after an extravagant, private and "very pink" memorial service bringing together the three people battling for custody of her baby daughter.
The memorial service at Mount Horeb Baptist Church, next to a shopping mall west of downtown Nassau, will be "over the top," with up to 300 guests, a singer and copious amounts of pink flowers, organizer Patrik Simpson told The Associated Press.
"It will be something very beautiful, very private, very over the top and very pink," said Simpson, of Beverly Hills, Calif.
Click here for the Anna Nicole Smith Celebrity Center.
The burial will be much more intimate, with about 30 people, he said.
The casket will most likely be closed during the service, Simpson said. But he and other close friends of Smith's would arrange to put their pictures inside her casket before the burial, he added.
Both the funeral and burial will be closed to the public. On Thursday, dozens of steel barricades were readied by Bahamian police.
"We have the services of the police officers in the Bahamas and they are very competent," said Pedro Ferguson, managing director of the funeral home handling the arrangements.
Simpson's partner, Pol Atteu, has designed more than a dozen gowns for Smith, including the one in which she is to be buried in a "very elegant" casket. Simpson declined to describe the dress, but said the ceremony will reflect Smith's buoyant personality.
"It will be a very beautiful Anna Nicole send-off," he said. "Of course it will be over the top because it's Anna Nicole."
Smith, 39, died in Florida on Feb. 8, setting off a battle between her partner, Howard K. Stern; her mother, Virgie Arthur; and her ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead over the burial and custody of her 5-month-old daughter Dannielynn, who could potentially inherit millions.
A Bahamian court has scheduled a custody hearing for later this month.
Arthur had wanted to bury Smith in her native Texas. Birkhead lobbied for California. But Stern insisted the former reality TV star wanted to be buried next to her son, Daniel, who died at age 20 with drugs in his system while visiting Smith just after she gave birth in the Bahamas in September.
A Florida appeals court resolved that dispute Wednesday. Smith's body will be flown to the Bahamas by private plane early Friday, said attorney Richard Milstein, the court-appointed advocate for Smith's daughter.
"Anna is coming home, where she wanted to be," Stern attorney Ron Rale told AP Television News. "Everybody knows that Anna's intent was to be buried in the Bahamas."
Simpson said Stern, Arthur and Birkhead had to submit a guest list in advance and each would be limited to 100 people at the church service. According to Entertainment Tonight, country music singer Joe Nichols will also perform.
Simpson, 38, a talent scout who had been friends with Smith for five years, said he and his partner planned to place photos of themselves with their 15-year-old daughter, who sang at Daniel's funeral, inside her casket. Other friends will likely do the same, he said.
Despite the choice of a Baptist church for the service, Simpson said Smith wasn't particularly religious but was "spiritual." He recalled her as a warm and generous person.
"She was just a good friend, a good mother, a great person," Simpson said. "She had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off her own back."
Smith married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. She had been fighting his family over his estimated $500 million fortune since his death in 1995.

Elizabeth Forward survives West Mifflin upset bid
There wasn't much Elizabeth Forward coach Sam Kosanovich could do except shake his head after the Warriors played Monday at West Mifflin.
His team's shooting percentage was abysmal, it committed more turnovers than he could have imagined and capped it by blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.
About the only thing that went right for Kosanovich was that, somehow, Trib Total Media's No. 3 team in Class AAA found a way to escape with a 46-42 overtime win against its Section 4 rival in the first of their two meetings.
"By no means was it a well-played game on both sides, but you have those through the season and, if you work your way through it, that's OK," Kosanovich said. "We're fortunate to come out of here with a win."
That might be an understatement. Elizabeth Forward (15-1, 7-0) committed an uncharacteristic 23 turnovers and made only 12 of 44 (27.3 percent) from the floor in regulation. The Warriors were especially bad with the ball trying to protect the lead in the fourth quarter as they gave it away eight times to aid the West Mifflin comeback.
"We have to be able to take of the ball better," Kosanovich said. "Anybody in that situation, you have to be able to hold the ball find the openings, don't panic and not throw the ball away."
While Elizabeth Forward made a plethora of mistakes, West Mifflin (6-8, 5-2) was able to chip away at the lead. The Titans finally finished their comeback when guard Paige Flore, who led the team with 15 points despite having to leave the game in the first quarter with a cut under her chin and had to switch jerseys because of blood drops, made a 3-pointer to tie the game, 36-36, with 27.8 seconds to play in regulation.
That was when West Mifflin made, perhaps, its biggest gaffe.
Senior Marla Small made an incredible play when she blocked a potential game-winning Elizabeth Forward shot and, after Flore rebounded, West Mifflin forced the ball over midcourt and called time out with 12.1 seconds remaining. With one possession and an opportunity to perhaps pull off a huge upset, the Titans went into overtime with a whimper after never even getting a good look at the basket, much less a final shot, before time expired in the fourth quarter.
"Coming out of the timeout we said we had 12 seconds left, we had a play drawn up and knew what was going on and one of our players looked completely lost out there and I'm not going to point any fingers or say any names," West Mifflin coach Rob Yeschenko said. "It was unfortunate, but in a tie game with 12 seconds left, it would have been nice to get a shot off ... and it was unfortunate we didn't get a drive to the basket or nothing."
West Mifflin, which also had a horrible night from the floor (17 of 56 for 30.4 percent) and went 6:48 over the second and third quarters without a point, threw away any upset chance it had with seven turnovers in the overtime. Despite the mistakes, the Titans were only down, 44-41, with 1.6 seconds left, but Flore was fouled just inside the arc and given a two-shot foul instead of three.
Though she made the first shot, she purposely missed the second hoping for a putback. But Dana Buck, who had 16 points and 12 rebounds, grabbed the loose ball and, after she was fouled, closed it out at the line for Elizabeth Forward.
"I just think you have those types of games throughout a 22-game season," Kosanovich said. "Every game is not going to be perfect and high-scoring and, when you have this type of game, you have to be able to ... change the momentum because everything is not going to go according to plan all the time."

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/HowTo:Remove a washing machine from the face of the earth
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit HowTo:Remove a washing machine from the face of the earth
To potential reviewer, this is my first pee review submission so please don't urinate on my shoes, in my ear is OK.--Elydavis 20:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Elydavis 20:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
|Nicely done. A fairly random topic, but it was fun. I've made a few pipe bombs myself back in the day, so I had a bit of a personal connection to this. Except for the second section. The whole reference to Deliverance seemed to come out of nowhere. I get how you're trying to imply a sexual aspect to blowing shit up (don't all the best pyros jerk off while their fires burn?) but with no lead in to this section, the whole thing seems a little out of place. It might work a little better if you can work up to it a bit. Add a subtle phycho-sexual innuendo or two to the first section so the second section's not such a non sequitor.
|It's a random and silly concept. I've got no problem with it myself, in fact I enjoy silly humor quite a bit. But you should prepare yourself for a "it's too random" comment or two. Ignore them. This is random done right.
|Prose and formatting:
|Pretty good for the most part. There's a few thing in italics that probably shouldn't be, but that's easy enough to fix. You might want to do something about the Ned Beatty and "Purty Mouth" dude pics, the way they're laid out right now leaves a lot of empty space and empty space makes for an ugly article. Again, easy enough fix. I liked the surprise explosion section consisting of only the image, nice touch.
|They're appropriate enough for the article, but none of them really provoke any real laughs. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. What you've got will work until inspiration hits.
|Averaged. I'm told that's how this bit works. You should probably ditch the section detailing what else you've written. Vanity in your articles doesn't go over too well. That's what your user page is for.
|Final Score:
|HowTo articles are fun. As a matter of fact, one that I've written is currently up for VFH. *nudge nudge wink wink*. Have fun and good luck. If you have any questions feel free to hit my talk page.

With anticipation rapidly approaching a boiling temperature for this weekend's clash with undefeated Wisconsin, we take two steps back to survey a sad reality before delving into this week's depth chart: after this weekend's game, there are but six Buckeye regular season football games to go in the year of Coach Hayes two thousand and nine. While I'll gladly take the prospects of some 7+ full weekends of football still to come, the idea that some 300 games are already in the books, and that it was almost an entire calendar month since pre-USC nerves were a thing of the present seems unreal.
With the Badgers coming to town, so too comes that creeping suspicion as to what lies ahead. Wisconsin's seemingly found a way to make life miserable for Buckeyes throughout the better part of this decade. I'm not going to lie: I was somewhat relieved when it came time for Bucky Badger to be absent from the Buckeyes' rotation in 2005 and 2006. Going 1-3 pre-Bielema will certainly do that to one's constitution. But back to the game at hand, Ohio State will unsurprisingly be without tackle Dexter Larimore, who was carted off the Memorial Stadium turf in a visual we were all relieved to find was not near as bad as it appeared. Todd Denlinger gets the nod in his place, though given Rob Rose's performance of late, it wouldn't come as much of a surprise to see #9 getting extra work in the interior. Doug Worthington, Garrett Goebel, and Johnny Simon join the Tolzien tackle parade as well. The rest of the defensive line remains static.
The linebacking corp is tweaked ever so slightly this week, with Ross Homan now listed as the unquestionable starter (the previous week listed the start as going to Homan OR sophomore Andrew Sweat, though Homan shrugged off injury and made the start regardless). Brian Rolle is listed back at the Mike linebacker position, though reality saw Rolle, ahem, roll out to Sam and swap places with glue guy Austin Spitler. The less prone to actual observation and reconsideration of one's preconceived opinion on subjects will undoubtedly counter than Spitler was only able to man the interior due to Indiana's "substandard even for a 'down conference' quickness." For them, I offer up sunshine and rainbows.
The secondary too exhibits a noteworthy change, with Devon Torrence listed as the proverbial man at the #2 corner spot for the first time since his elevation to the starting role. For those who recall, we had plenty of Torrence OR Amos or Amos OR Torrence in weeks prior. Chimdi Chekwa is still manning the top CB spot, while Kurt Coleman returns from his controversial suspension to relegate new hero Anderson Russell back into a more complimentary role. Jermale Hines and Russell could very well be utilized together at times during this game with Hines in the "Star" safety/linebacker hybrid position he's lined up in throughout the season.
Across the sideline on the other side of the ball, arguably the biggest news of the Wisconsin game depth chart is the lack there of: Dan Herron returns as the starting tailback, with Brandon Saine listed as the primary backup. Saine's Indiana performance continued to add to his mystique and further legitimize the Team Zoom movement, though pending a not unprecedented trademark change of the Vest's mind (or card up his sleeve), his 23498.0 yards per carry average will have to come in a Halfback B capacity this weekend. Touchdown scorin' Zach Boren returns to block for whichever halfback gets the nod.
With no changes at wideout or Jake end, we look towards the big uglies, who see the return of Andrew Miller from pancaking the flu. Miller is listed as the alternate starter to Big Mike Adams, though given Adams' play the last two weekends, it'll be difficult to see Miller on the field to start this weekend's game or beyond. Justin Boren and Bryant Browning are your guards, with the Brew Crew's Aramis, J.B. Shugarts, continuing to man right tackle with Jim Cordle sidelined. Curiously Jack Mewhort gets mention for a second straight week, though it would likely take a catastrophic injury to both starting center Mike Brewster and backup C/RG Andrew Moses for that redshirt to be sacrificed. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness remain comfortably deferred for the time being.
Finally, we fail to see any major movement amongst the specialists. Despite Pettrey's struggles within the 30, it seems unlikely as though Devin Barclay nor Ben Buchanan will be called on any time soon as close range specialists. And with rumors of his demise greatly exaggerated, Lamaar Thomas is still your top kickoff return guy. That first kickoff return for a touchdown since TG2 created highlight after highlight still beckons; your move, sir.

James Harden spent his offseason in a high profile relationship with Khloe Kardashian and also signed a $200 million contract with Adidas.
Harden was coming off a season in which he improved his defensive commitment and finished second in MVP voting while the Houston Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
"We know James Harden's a great player. James hasn't played up to his standards," Morey said Wednesday. "I can't point to it. I know he'll turn it around."
The Rockets fired Kevin McHale as head coach this past week.
"One reason people love playing for the Rockets is we worry about what's on the floor," Daryl Morey said. "I don't talk to him about his personal life. (But) I don't think that's a factor at all."

Open-Faced Salmon Sandwiches with Avocado-Wasabi Spread
Rich in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, wild salmon is poached to preserve its texture; served on a whole-wheat baguette with creamy avocado-wasabi spread, the flaked fish is showered with radish sprouts.
- Servings: 6
Photography: Anna Williams
Source: Martha Stewart Living, January 2007
- 1/4 cup plus 3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 celery stalk
- 2 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Sea salt or coarse salt
- 1 wild salmon fillet (about 1 pound and 1 inch thick), skin on
- 1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
- 1 tablespoon wasabi powder, mixed with 1 tablespoon lukewarm water
- 1 whole-wheat baguette (about 21 inches long)
- Radish or sunflower sprouts
Fill a saucepan wide enough to hold salmon with 2 1/2 inches cold water. Stir in 1/4 cup lemon juice, the celery, parsley, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Add salmon, skin side down. Cover, and simmer until salmon is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate, and let cool 20 minutes. Discard poaching liquid. Flake salmon into large pieces.
Put avocado, wasabi paste, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice into a food processor, and season with salt; puree. Transfer to a small bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate until ready to use (up to 30 minutes).
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut baguette in half crosswise, and trim crust from sides; cut each half lengthwise into three 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange, flat side down, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven until lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Spread each bread slice with about 2 tablespoons avocado-wasabi mixture, and top with salmon and sprouts.

Puppy Love Leads To No Love
If you want to find lasting love in your adult life, you have to avoid puppy love altogether, according to a claim in Changing Relationships, a collection of new research papers by Britain's leading sociologists, edited by Dr. Malcolm Brynin, principal research officer at the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex. While researching the components of successful long-term relationships, Brynin found that people have a tendency to measure their adult relationships against their first intense relationship, which sets up an unrealistic gauge. "If you had a very passionate first relationship and allow that feeling to become your benchmark for a relationship dynamic, then it becomes inevitable that future, more adult partnerships will seem boring and a disappointment," he said. However, adults who have calmly and pragmatically assessed what they need from a partnership experience successful long-term relationships. Brynin said the problem arises when someone tries to get everything they need from a relationship, but also strives for the excitement, intensity and sense of euphoria they experienced with their first love. The solution is to protect yourself from an intense first relationship, so you will be happier in your later relationships.
That solution is rather late for those of us who experienced first love half a lifetime ago. Also, I'm not too sure what to make of Brynin's findings. If someone is actually able to prevent an intense first relationship, there's a big chance their next relationship will be intense and euphoric because that's pretty much what young love is about. Young people don't have to worry about the same things as adults, so spontaneity and uncontrollable passion are what the relationships are based on, not reliability and responsibility. Most first loves end in heartache, so I think more people assess their first relationship and try to figure out what wasn't right, rather than dwelling on the excitement. [The Observer]

Just show me Grosmont Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages in Grosmont.
Fancy some serious R&R? Then consider a stay in a Grosmont
holiday cottage in the heart of the Esk Valley.
The sleepy village of Grosmont snuggles in this beautiful vale
amid the breathtaking North York Moors National Park. Local
amenities include a couple of small shops providing everyday needs,
a café and a pub. There's also a National Park Information
Point in the village - great for details of local walks etc.
Proud of its fascinating industrial past, Grosmont was
originally built for the railway workers back in the mid 19th
Century. The line has since been transformed into the North York
Moors Steam Railway, meticulously run by a team of enthusiasts.
This wonderful railway is one of the highlights of a stay in a
Grosmont cottage and the 18-mile journey between Grosmont and
Pickering is one of the best ways to view the stunning National
Park, passing through wooded valleys, over heather-clad moorland
and calling in at pretty villages. It's also a great way for
walkers and cyclists to access both the countryside and coast. If
you fancy more of a leisurely walk, try 'The Rail Trail'
from Goathland to Grosmont, which combines a ride on the train with
a three-and-a-half-mile walk.
There are lots of lovely places to visit nearby, including the
historic seaside resort of Whitby just five miles away.
So if you fancy a quiet, relaxing break in the countryside
that's within easy reach of the coast, a Grosmont cottage
holiday could be the answer.

Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Establish the purpose, vision, and mission. Vision statement- A vivid description of a preferred or idealized future state. Ex: PepsiCo's responsibility is to continually improve all aspects of the world in which we operate – environment, social, economic –creating a better tomorrow than today. Our Vision is put into action through programs and a focus on environmental stewardship, activities to benefit society, and a commitment to build shareholder value by making PepsiCo a truly sustainable company. Mission Statement- describes what an organization is, its purpose, what it does, how it does it, and who it does it for. Ex: Our mission is to be the world's premier consumer products company focused on convenient foods and beverages. We seek to produce financial rewards to investors as we provide opportunities for growth and enrichment to our employees, our business partners and the communities in which we operate. And in everything we do, we strive for honesty, fairness and integrity. Define strategic objectives. Typically 3-5 key strategies that are specific, measurable, and in alignment with the vision and mission of the organization. Example: We aim for a return on investment of at least 15% We aim to achieve an operating profit of over $10 million on sales of at least $100 million We will grow sales revenue by 20% per year We will descrease product defects by 5% per year We will achieve a 90% employee satisfaction rate each year Formulate supporting plans that align with the organization's overall strategic plan. For small organizations, this will focus on operational plans for various units (finance, marketing) For Larger organizations, this will focus more on strategic plans that each unit develops to support the overall plan. Execute the strategic plan. Common Causes of Execution Problems Management allowing the strategy to shift over time (lack of managerial oversight and focus) Lack of mechanisms to support "Learning" and "Integration" The strategy is not communicated to people involved in implementation Inability to synchronize the different elements of the strategy Employee resistance to the strategy An organizational culture that does not support the strategy Strategies for Enhancing Strategic Execution Give formal accountability for effective execution of the strategy to an individual or group of individuals Develop a model of execution that includes action plans for each unit of the organization Communicate, communicate, communicate Choose the right metrics for evaluating strategy execution Assess performance frequently to achieve "cycles of improvement" Evaluate the strategic plan. Use a "balanced scorecard" to evaluate performance on a quarterly basis and make adjustments as needed. Characteristics of Effective vision and Mission Statements An Effective Vision Statement Spells out a high level goal for an organization Is long term-oriented Provides inspiration and motivation for members of the organization and other stakeholders An Effective Mission Statement What does the organization do? How do we do it? Who do we do it for? Is in alignment with the vision statement Collins Good to Great Organizations Model Level 5 Leadership Personal humility Inspired standards to motivate Channels ambition to the company Assumes responsibility for poor results and gives credit to others Unwavering resolve to produce long-term results Sets standards for building an enduring, great company The Hedgehog Concept Involves knowing what a company does better than anyone else and maintaining a focus on this The Doom Loop The condition under which the organization loses its focus on its "hedgehog concept" and it discipline in executing the system often due to short-term thinking and "quick fix" initiatives. This results in a downward spiral of lower and lower organizational performance.

(Job Descriptions) Departmental and Divisional Unit Formation- How are jobs bundled together into appropriate "work units" that are then bundled into "divisions" based on function and interdependence? Basic Control Mechanisms- How do we ensure that tasks are performed in a certain manner and upto a specific standard? Rules Policies Procedures Processes Systems Integrating and Coordinating Mechanisms- How do you get intra-unit tasks, roles, jobs, processes, and systems to work together to support the unit's and the organization's objectives? How do you foster inter-unit coordination within an organization in support of an organizations objectives? Formalization- How do you informally vs. formally define the roles, functions, processes and systems to ensure that organizational members understand what to do and how to do it in order to achieve the organization's objectives? Boundary Spanning- How do you link specific work units or the organization with external entities (strategic alliances, suppliers, customers)? Centralization vs. Decentralization- To what degree do you retain control and decision making authority at the top of the organization vs. delegating it to the front line workers? Types of Organizational Designs Functional Design Advantages- Excellent resource efficiency, good accountability, provides specialization Disadvantages- poor adaptability to change, emergence of "functional silos" Divisional Design Advantages- Ability to focus on strategies related to a specific product or service, each business unit has all of the functions needed to operate autonomously Disadvantages- poor resource efficiency, complexity associated with managing a portfolio of units Matrix Design Advantages- Enhances cross-functional interaction and coordination between units, enhances flow of communication between units Disadvantages- Frustration and stress of a "two boss system", risk of one system overwhelming the other, need for high levels of time and commitment to support coordination activities Goold and Campbell's Framework for Creating a Well-Designed Organization The Market Advantage- Does your design direct sufficient management attention to your sources of competitive advantage? The Feasibility Test- Have you taken account of all of the contraints (government, stakeholder, cultural, systematic) that may impeded implementation of your design? The Specialist Cultures Test- Does your design protect units that need distinct cultures? The Difficult Links Test- Does your design provide coordination solutions for "unit to unit" problems? The Redundant Hierarchy Test- Does your design have too many levels and units? The Accountability Test- Does your design support effective controls? Organizational Change Lecture Kotter's Model for Managing Change Stage 1: Establish a sense of urgency. Pitfalls Underestimating the difficulty of driving people from their comfort zones. Becoming paralyzed by risks. Stage 2: Form a powerful guiding coalition. Pitfalls No prior experience in teamwork at the top. Relegating team leadership to an HR, quality, or strategic planning executive rather than a senior line manager. Stage 3: Create a vision. Pitfalls Presenting a vision that's too complicated or vague to be communicated in five minutes. Stage 4: Communicate the vision. Pitfalls Under communicating the vision Behaving in ways antithetical to the vision Stage 5: Empower others to act on the vision. Pitfalls Failing to remove powerful individuals who resist the change effort Stage 6: Plan for and create short-term wins. Pitfalls Leaving short-term successes up to chance. Failing to score successes early enough (12-24 months into the change effort). Stage 7: Consolidate improvements and produce more change. Pitfalls Declaring victory too soon – with the first improvement. Allowing resistors to convince "troops" that the war has been won. Stage 8: Institutionalize new approaches. Pitfalls Not creating new social norms and shared values consistent with changes. Promoting people into leadership positions who don't personify the new approach. Strategies for Overcoming Resistance to Change Education and Communication When to use When employees do not understand the change or how it will affect them Potential Problems Potentially time-consuming and costly Employee Involvement and Participation When to use When it is important to obtain the "buy-in" of employees. When employees may have good ideas regarding the design and implementation of the change. Potential Problems Potentially time consuming and costly Support When to use When employees lack the knowledge or skills needed to support the change. When employees feel that they are not capable of supporting the change. When employees need additional staff or resources to implement the change. Potential Problems Potentially time-consuming and costly. Incentives When to use When it is important to motivate employees to support the change. When it is important to reward employees for implementing the change. Potential Problems Potentially costly Co-Optation When to use When you need the "buy-in" of an individual and other tactics have failed Potential Problems May be perceived as "manipulative" by some people Coercion When to use When time is critical and the change must be implemented now. When other tactics have failed. Potential Problem May strain working relationships with employees Employees may reject the change in more subtle ways. 1.

CHAPTER 1 NOTES Managers' ability was three times as powerful in explaining company profitability Strategic thinking, effective communication and leadership are essential skills Important competencies Providing strategic vision Assembling teams of skilled employees Sharing information with employees Coaching Diagnosing performance Negotiating Selecting high-potential employees Along with functional competencies, handling personal relationships and facilitating learning and personal improvement, as well as such broad business perspective competencies as strategic thinking, critical thinking, and decision making Why OB skills are valuable- companies want them, they are becoming more crucial in the changing business environment, and they will serve you well in life Employers want Team players with strong verbal and written communication skills Honesty and integrity Interpersonal skills Motivation and initiative A strong work ethic Analytical skills "Soft skills" Communicating Problem solving Motivating Leading Negotiating Working with others Entrepreneurship- entrepreneurial success depends heavily on managerial skills, including social skills Downsizing and Delayering- Downsizing- deliberate reductions of personnel; Delayering- the elimination of entire levels of the organizational hierarchy; One important effect of such delayering is to push managerial responsibilities down to lower levels in the organization Job enrichment and empowerment- adopting a variety of approaches to giving workers more personal responsibilities for their work Self-managed work teams Hiring for the second job- companies are concerned relatively less with technical skills and more with conceptual and interpersonal skills that will be needed in the future Growth in management positions- number of managers will increase by 2016 As you enter business, you will see that success depends much more on teamwork Rely more on verbal communication and handling relationships Job will be less structured, and your performance ratings will be more judgmental You will often initially be in the low-prestige position of trainee, and you will be an employee rather than a customer Knowing-Doing Gap Causes Knowledge management efforts mostly emphasize technology and the transfer of codified information Knowledge management tends to treat knowledge as a tangible thing, as a stock or a quantity, and therefore separates knowledge as a thing from the use of that thing Formal systems can't easily store or transfer tactic knowledge; Tactic Knowledge- refers to information that is important for doing something effectively that cannot be captured, measured, or codified by formal knowledge systems in organizations The people responsible for transferring and implementing knowledge management frequently do not understand the actual work being documented Knowledge management tends to focus on specific practices and ignore the importance of philosophy; philosophy provides a framework for thinking about and implementing a set of strategies geared toward achieving specific business objectives Solutions Why before how: Philosophy is important Knowing comes from doing and teaching others how Action comes before elegant plans and concepts There is no doing without mistakes; key is does an organization possess a philosophy, approach, and culture that enables it to learn from its mistakes to reduce the likelihood of committing the same error in the future Fear fosters knowing-doing gaps; drive out fear; fear often prevents people from doing what they know they should do in organizations Beware of false analogies: Fight competition, not each other; the presence of internal competition in an organization undermines cooperation and collaboration among individuals and work units Measure what matters and what can help turn knowledge into action What leaders do, how they spend their time, and how they allocate resources, matters Social Learning Perspective- skills assessment, skills awareness, skills attainment, skills application Technical skills- include knowledge about methods, processes, and techniques designed to carry out some specialized activity as well as the ability to use tools and equipment related to the activity Interpersonal or human skills- deal with human behavior and interpersonal processes, communication, cooperation, and social sensitivity Conceptual skills- include analytical ability, creativity, efficiency in problem solving, and ability to recognize opportunities and potential problems Employee effectiveness- may be gauged by motivation, performance, participation behaviors, and personal well-being and satisfaction Work Unit effectiveness- may relate to achievement of the work unit's mission and strategic plan, productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction Organizational effectiveness- may take such forms as achievement of the organizational mission and strategic plan, profitability, customer satisfaction Action planning- the process through which a manager formulates the specific steps that will be taken to address business problems and challenges Action planning The process must be systematic and actively managed Action planning requires a "layering" approach, in which action steps are translated into specific supporting actions in relation to each employee who will be involved with implementation There must be ongoing and systematic evaluation of the results achieved after the implementation of the action plan DISCUSSION NOTES Knowing-Doing Gap Mangers/employees know what should be done, but fail to implement Causes: Knowledge management efforts focus on technology and transfer/storage of codified information- NOT how to best use the info Knowledge management often treats knowledge as a tangible thing and thus separates the "thing" from its use Formal systems can not capture tacit knowledge The people in charge of knowledge management at an organization are often not the ones doing the work being documented Solutions: Why before how: philosophy is important Know, Do, Teach Action comes before elegant plans and concepts Mistakes are OK and inevitable. The important thing is to learn from mistakes Drive out fear Fight the competition, not each other Measure what matters What leaders do matters CHAPTER 13 NOTES Planned versus Reactive Change Planned Change- occurs when managers develop and install a program that serves to alter organizational activities in a timely and orderly way Planned change is initiated because managers expect the development of a force fo change and thus seek to prepare the organization to adjust activities with minimal disruption Reactive change- occurs when managers simply respond to the pressure for change when that pressure comes to their attention Key to planned change is that managers must be able to anticipate the types of change that will be necessary Reactive change is most effective when applied to small or day-to-day problems in the organization The Change-Capable Organization Link the present and the future. Make learning a way of life. Actively support and encourage day-to-day improvements and changes. Ensure diverse teams. Encourage mavericks. Shelter breakthroughs. Integrate technology. Build and deep trust. Models of Organizational Change Kotter's Eight-Step Model for Transforming an Organization Major problems with the management of change that are addressed by the model include: Not establishing a great enough sense of urgency regarding the need for change Not creating a powerful enough guiding coalition to support the change Lacking a vision for the change Under-communicating the vision by a factor of 10 to key stakeholders who neeed to understand and support the change Inhibiting the implementation of the change by not removing obstacles to the vision Not systematically planning for and creating short-term wins associated with the change Demonstrating a short-term mentality for the change my declaring victory too soon, and not anchoring the change in the corporate culture McKinsey 7-S Model McKinsey 7-S model is useful for diagnosing the functioning of an organization, identifying misalignments among different parts of the organization, and formulating recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of an organization Structural change- involves altering a firm's formal authority structure of job definitions Technological change- occurs when a new method is used to transform resources into a product of service Human change- involves changing employee attitudes, skills, knowledge, or behavior Balancing Forces for and Against Change Kurt Lewin Force field analysis- whether or not change attempts are successful depends on whether forces in support of change are greater than those opposing change Best Practices for Managing Change Consider the combined effects of different kinds of change. Concentrate on a few processes that really count. Find allies who will help you to counter critics and conservatives. To make change easier to accept, introduce it in stages. Do not readily abandon failing projects; reorient, revise, and reinforce them. Find a few key measures to best judge success. If it takes complex reasoning to justify change, abandon it. If you make promises about change, keep them. Never assume that you know what people are thinking-ask them. Use regular progress meetings to highlight achievements. Always be frank about the possible adverse effects of change. Monitor employee morale closely and act if it starts to deteriorate. Err on the side of excess when celebrating success. Organizational Design Organization development- an "effort (1) planned, (2) organization-wide, and (3) managed from the top, to (4) increase organizational effectiveness and health through (5) planned interventions in the organization's 'process', using behavioral science knowledge OD Assumptions and Values People as individuals.

WCCC's ShaleNET natural gas job training program receives national award
Westmoreland County Community College's ShaleNET natural gas job training program was honored recently with a national award, a school official told trustees on Wednesday.
WCCC received a 2013 Exemplary Program Award for nine-credit programs from the National Council for Workforce Education. The council is an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges.
Pat Gerity, WCCC's vice president of continuing education, workforce and community development, said he accepted the award in Milwaukee last week. He presented the small clear and blue glass etched statue to trustees at their monthly meeting.
WCCC was chosen from nine finalists for the award that especially recognized ShaleNET's innovation and partnerships with industry, Gerity said.
"We were a community college that stepped up to make an impact with a new industry," Gerity said.
In 2010, WCCC led a consortium of educators and industry members to form ShaleNET, a program funded by a Department of Labor grant to train workers for a variety of entry-level jobs in the natural gas industry.
Students take courses in areas such as roustabout, floor hand and commercial driver's license.
Last fall, the college partnered with Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport for a second phase of ShaleNET funding that enabled the program to expand, develop a hybrid classroom and online curriculum, and create "stackable" credentials, putting students on a fast track to earn an associate's or bachelor's degree.
"This grant and (program officials') efforts really positioned WCCC in a leadership position," WCCC President Daniel Obara said.
The program trained 978 students with 20 training providers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York from July 2010 through June.
ShaleNET placed graduates with more than 125 employers throughout the United States, according to the program's description in the award program.

Early Head Start Staff Roll-Up Their Sleeves for Learning and Fun
The Children's Aid Society's 0-3 Early Childhood Team gathered on November 3rd for a morning of professional development. Staff came from four different sites, each with Home Based Early Head Start models. Teachers, Family Workers, Health Coordinators, Special Needs Coordinators, and Directors from PS 5, PS 8, PS 152 and East Harlem shared experiences, discussed child development, and exchanged best practices. The work of this unique group of educators is centered on home visits and weekly socialization classes. Activities and interactions are individualized to meet the needs of the child and their family. During the training, staff rolled up their sleeves to make play dough, applesauce, paper bag puppets, sensory walls, and a variety of collages. Everyone then worked together to design a socialization class around the individual activity theme. A fun time was had by all!

Katie Couric's gone, but not to worry: the Today show hasn't missed a beat of liberal bias. This morning's topic was one near and dear to the MSM heart - gay marriage. And sure enough . . .
Ann Curry interviewed MSNBC show host and former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough on the issue. But while Ann theoretically is serving as Matt Lauer's temporary co-host pending the arrival of Meredith Vieira, Curry seems stuck in her erstwhile newsreader mode, dutifully parroting DNC and NY Times talking points.
The basic liberal line on the marriage amendment debate is "why are we wasting time on this when there are so many more pressing issues to be addressed?" And sure enough, the very first words out of Curry's mouth to Scarborough were: "we are in the middle of a rising public debate about the war with Iraq and Haditha and hurricane season is coming. Why in your view is the president attacking gay marriage now?" Hurricanes and Haditha in one sentence - not bad, Ann. But if only you had worked Halliburton in there, it would have been shades of My Fair Lady: 'in hurricanes, Haditha and Halliburton, amendments hardly happen!'
Curry sang the same tune in her next question:
"The New York Times said 'it was depressing in the extreme to hear the chief executive trying to pretend at this moment in American history that this was a critical priority. We heard Joe Biden on Meet the Press on Sunday [say that] talking about gay marriage without any real plans to deal with the real problems Americans face like national security and the energy crisis, really causes a lot of people a lot of concern. Do you think the president is taking any risks in this strategy that you say will work?"
OK, it took till your second question, but you did work the 'energy crisis' in there. Good going, Ann.
And just in case anyone missed the point, here's how Ann wrapped things up: "are you saying this morning that you agree with critics that the president in making these moves is pandering to his base?"
For the record, the essence of Scarborough's take was that of course the president is reacting to his low poll numbers and is reaching out to his conservative base, that religious conservatives are well aware of this but don't particularly care so long as attention is being paid to their issues.
There was another, highly ironic, twist to Today's coverage of the gay marriage debate. NBC White House reporter had this to say:
"At the heart of the debate is the question of who decides whether same-sex marriage is lawful. . . Supporters of the ban on gay marriages insist the institution of marriage is ruined by judges. Opponents say no, it's for the states and not the federal government to decide this question."
Odd. I don't recall Gregory making the case for states rights when it comes to . . . abortion.

Ryan Harris is confident he will be fit well before the Ashes, but admitted Cricket Australia was nervous about him going to the Indian Premier League from which he has returned with a sore Achilles.
Harris on Friday received encouraging results from a scan of his heel.
The soreness filled Harris with dread given his history of breaking down, but he hopes to be out of action for only a few weeks, and has not given up on playing during the Australia A tour of the UK that precedes the Test series.
"The scan showed nothing so it's basically tendonitis of the Achilles and I just have to keep rehabbing and get it nice and strong and be ready to go by England hopefully," Harris said.
"I'm still aiming to play a couple of Australia A games, definitely, then there's two tour matches before the first Test. There's going to be plenty of time to bowl, and if I have to bowl in the nets to get the workload up I will."
Harris is the second fast bowler in a week to return injured from the IPL – Ben Hilfenhaus, who missed the Ashes squad, has knee tendonitis.
Cricket Australia would have preferred Harris to stay home for a few weeks after the domestic season because there had been a spike in his workload after his comeback from a shoulder injury. But because he was not injured, he was cleared to play in the IPL.
"They didn't tell me not to go. Going over to another competition before a big series like England, of course they're going to be nervous but it was very important for me to go and keep bowling. I'd had enough time off, and if I'd had this soreness before I went there's no way I would have gone," Harris said.
It's exactly a year since Harris last played a Test, but the renewal of his Cricket Australia contract and inclusion in the Ashes squad speaks of the high regard in which he is held when he's fit.
The selectors have been prepared to rest Harris between high-impact bursts at Test level in the past, but he has a more ambitious outlook.
"I will always say I will aim to play five Tests. It's obviously very tough to play five especially with my history, but if I went over there aiming to play two out of five or three out of five, that's not great thinking," he said.
"If I'm feeling OK I'm sure they will let me play as much as I can. The other thing is I've got to get back in the team yet, there's some pretty good bowlers in there at the moment."
James Faulkner, the young allrounder who withstood a fierce performance from Harris to make 89 in last month's Sheffield Shield final, said the Queensland quick would be enormously important to the Ashes campaign.
"Ryan has a very good record for Australia and he was quite tough to face in shield final," Faulkner said. "He's always at you, he's relentless in the way he approaches his bowling."

(CBS/AP) PHILADELPHIA - A 7-year-old boy alerted a teacher Thursday after finding a loaded gun in his backpack at a Philadelphia elementary school, police said.
Officials at Universal Samuel Daroff Charter School told police that the boy was putting a folder in his bag during an after-school program and noticed the gun. The principal said staff immediately took the backpack and called police.
Lt. John Walker said police are conducting interviews with family members and reviewing surveillance video to figure out how the gun got into the bag.
Walker said the gun was a .38-caliber handgun loaded with five rounds of ammunition. The boy said he had his backpack with him in the classroom the entire day.

Legendary civil rights activist Rosa Parks will take center stage when the U.S. Postal Service presents a new Forever Stamp in her honor Feb. 1 during the 44th NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles.
In a taped message — to air live to audience members only during the Image Awards program —Deputy Postmaster General Ronald Stroman will highlight a new set of civil rights stamps — including the stamp honoring Parks. Her refusal to sit in the back of a Montgomery, AL, bus Dec. 1, 1955 ignited a movement that ultimately challenged racial segregation and inspired others to similar actions.
The Postal Service launched a new set of civil rights stamps Jan. 1 with the Emancipation Proclamation Forever Stamp, issued at The National Archives in Washington, DC. In August, the series will culminate with the dedication of a stamp recognizing the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington.
The new civil rights stamps focus on freedom, courage and equality. In his message, Stroman expresses how the Civil War was "a struggle for unity" that became "a fight for freedom," as reflected with the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation. "Rosa Parks' act of courage changed American history," said Stroman. In referencing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech delivered during the March on Washington, Stroman reminds viewers that "the dream of equality galvanized a nation."
The Rosa Parks Forever Stamp will go on sale nationwide Feb. 4, which would have been her 100th birthday, at local Post Offices, online at usps.com/stamps or by phone at 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724).
To kick off sales of the Rosa Parks stamp, a special ceremony will be held in Detroit at 7:30 a.m. at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
At 10:45 a.m., the Postal Service will convene the first-day-of-issue ceremony during the National Day of Courage honoring Parks at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI, where the Rosa Parks bus is on permanent display.
The NAACP Image Awards is a premier multicultural awards show. It celebrates the accomplishments of people of color in the fields of television, music, literature and film, and also honors individuals or groups who promote social justice through other creative endeavors. The two-hour live broadcast will air Feb. 1, 8-10 p.m. EST on NBC.

Jennifer Lawrence Lands Katniss Role in 'Hunger Games' Movies
Lawrence, who burst onto the Hollywood scene thanks to her Oscar-nominated role in Winter's Bone last year — firmed up the role earlier this week according to The Wrap, beating out many for the sought-after survivalist character. In the books that have the chance to turn into a Twilight-esque franchise on the big screen, Katniss joins the survivalist order and must compete against other teenagers in order to save her family and community.
Now that the Katniss role is locked up, there's still much debate over who should play the male lead character Peeta. Alex Pettyfer was the initial frontrunner, but other young Hollywood hotties Josh Hutcherson and Hunter Parrish have recently been tossed into the mix.
Hutcherson recently told EW: "I love Peeta. The character is so much who I am—self deprecating, a people person. And he'd be such a great character to play! Like in the third book? Oh my God. But they're meeting a lot of people right now. One can only dream."

Offshore investors eager to snap up Australian mining assets may take a closer look at junior copper miner
The company estimates that Hillside will cost $900 million to develop, or 4½ times its market capitalisation.
That kind of cash will be hard to find in debt or equity markets at the moment, leading to speculation a cashed-up Chinese buyer might swoop on the asset.
Board member
Rex is hosting a site visit at its Hillside project today and says its data room is open to interested parties.
Hillside marks one of Australia's biggest copper discoveries of the past 20 years.
Recent exploration success has prompted Rex to move straight to a 100,000 tonnes a year copper equivalent production rate, instead of sticking to its previous plan for a two-stage development.
The miner says it is in preliminary discussions to secure sponsors, developers, and financiers once the pre-feasibility study moves to a bankable feasibility study next year.
Rex has just appointed another adviser, but is yet to decide who will take the lead financing role.

Estimating external returns to education in the US: a production function approach
Individual US data are merged with aggregate data by state for the US and used to estimate the external benefits of education. Aggregate state-wide variables used are the average level of education and per capita physical capital for each state. Individual variables used are each working adult's labour force experience, years of completed schooling, gender and immigration status. One difference from previous studies that estimate external benefits to education is that data on physical capital for each region (state) are available and used. Hence, the study is based on an explicit production function of the form suggested by Lucas. Strong evidence of the presence of external benefits to education for the US is found.

WASHINGTON (Dec. 15)
Senator Jacob K. Javits, New York Republican, today asked United States immigration authorities to investigate the case of Dr. Edward V. Sittler, Long Island university teacher recently exposed as an ex-Nazi who renounced American citizenship to serve Hitler's Germany.
Senator Javits asked General Joseph Swing, immigration commissioner, for a report on how Sittler obtained an alien visa and the background of previous deportation actions against him. (In an interview with the New York Post today Sittler said that he still thinks that the Jews dictated America's entry into World War II.)
A native-born American, Sittler embraced the Nazi ideology, went to Germany in 1937. He renounced American citizenship, Joined the Nazi party, and did propaganda work for the Nazis during the war. In 1946 he was brought to the United States as a witness in treason cases. He was not tried for treason himself because he had renounced his citizenship.
He fought a number of deportation orders, remaining in the United States until 1953 when he went to Cuba. He returned in 1954 with an alien visa. He subsequently filed for American citizenship and is slated to appear before a hearing in New York Thursday in connection with his petition for citizenship. Sittler has been supported by a number of Long Island university authorities.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/6/2013 (1516 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba's food services and drinking places industry saw its sales decline in April after two straight months of rising revenues.
Statistics Canada said today that April's sales were down 1.7 per cent from the previous month — $128.5 million versus $130.8 million.
But despite the poorer month-to-month showing, April's total was still a 1.6 per cent improvement from April 2012's tally of $126.5 million.
Statistics Canada said Manitoba was one of eight provinces to see sales decline from March to April. It's decline was the fourth smallest among the eight.
Canada saw its sales fall by 1.4 per cent to $4.47 billion in April from $4.53 billion in March.
The food-services and drinking-places industries includes full-service restaurants, limited-service restaurants, drinking places and special food-services operations. The latter sector includes food-service contractors, caters and mobile food services.

Telephone hearing for Perry today, meaning no more than five game suspension.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 03/13/13 at 05:56 AM ET
Should be more than 5 games. If Kaleta's hit on Richards was 5, I think this had more intent to injure. Should be a minimum of 10.
Posted by teldar on 03/13/13 at 07:40 AM ET
It didn't look that bad to me. Zucker passes the puck in a dangerous spot along the boards and has his head turned admiring the pass like a fool. The approach and timing seemed perfectly fine and legal to me. It's unfortunate he got him in the head. I'm not the biggest Perry fan in the world, but I don't know if this is even suspension-worthy.
Posted by Eric H. on 03/13/13 at 08:39 AM ET
Deserving of a suspension, of course, but I don't see the clear intent to injure.
Posted by Garth on 03/13/13 at 09:16 AM ET
oh, geez,
It didn't look that bad to me.
Eric H.
This is EXACTLY what the discussion has been for two years now.
At least five games.
Never liked him anyway
