The Words of a Leader
This post, in a collaborative act between Art Petty and myself, is being published jointly today, both here and on the Management Excellence site.
A note from Mary Jo: Art Petty and I met through the social networking realm recently and found that we were kindred souls, of sorts. Through a Twitter conversation, and subsequent telephone discussion about the importance of the words a leader speaks, we came to this place of deciding to collaborate on a post about the topic. Though different views from different aspects of a leader`s words, we found that the collaboration worked to produce a blog post that scans the realm of The Words of a Leader.
I hope that you will spend some time on Art`s site and subscribe to his blog, Management Excellence . You`ll learn a lot from a guy who has much wisdom to impart.
A note from Art: What great fortune it is to have met someone as passionate and thoughtful and pragmatic about the topic of leadership and relationships as Mary Jo. Another wonderful example of the power of social networking!
We discovered in a casual exchange of tweets that we both shared a passion for the impact that a leader`s words have on the individuals and teams that he/she manages. The idea to collaborate on this topic was born and here in our own bit of blogging innovation is our post, complete with two very complementary and very different perspectives on The Words of a Leader. Enjoy!
Mary Jo:
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." ?€" Buddha
"Thoughts become words. Words become actions. Actions become character. Character is everything." ?€" Unknown
"Think before you speak." Mom
The Buddha, Unknown, and Mom were all very smart. They knew that all words arise from thoughts, and the words we speak are words that are capable of the power to build, inspire, create or destroy.
Before a leader`s words actually get formed within the mouth, there is the place of thought. The thought that creates the words might be but a nanosecond. This little bit of time can`t prevent a leader from saying something that was unintended or taken out of context. And because followers tend to be "hyper vigilant" about their leaders, anything you say has a greater impact than you may be willing to believe.
So this is the connection that a leader needs to be aware of. Thoughts become words that become action. For us to say the right things in order to take the right actions, we may need to begin with our thoughts.
Change your thoughts, change your words.
In our speed-of-light world, we must slow down in order to become aware of our thoughts, to speak and take action in a way that is congruent with our values. You can bet that Tiger Woods and other successful athletes imagine and rehearse successful outcomes before following through on them. Why wouldn`t this apply to you and the words you use as a leader? What successful outcomes do you want your words to speak of?
Imagine using words that will build, inspire and create. What are they? Imagine your words being accepted and used in the way you intend them to be. Consider the values you hold most dear. What are your values, and how will your words describe them? How will they be incorporated into the language you use every day?
Take a mental break from the anxiety, worry and judging that go on in your thoughts. Consider a reflective practice or a meditative practice that will allow you to do so. Just as an athlete must rest his muscles, it also makes sense for us to rest our minds and thoughts. Such a practice has the effect of slowing you down, allowing you to renew yourself at the level of thought. Notice your thoughts as they arise in your practice, and you have begun a process of observing that will start you on a path to improving the words you speak as you go about your everyday life. A reflective or meditative practice has arms that reach far beyond the minimal time you spend doing them.
Where your thoughts don`t serve you, change them. Negative self-talk around guilt, anger, or hatred will not serve to help you say the words that your followers need to hear. When those thoughts arise, ask yourself if they are serving to help you in your leadership. If they aren`t, what would you prefer to change them to?
Your thoughts come through in your words, even if you don`t realize it. Others do. Become aware of your thoughts and your words can be intentional, purposeful and life-giving. You will then find it easier to accept the wise suggestions of my colleague, Art, below.
I`ve often marveled at the speed that an off-handed comment from the boss can fly through an organization, quickly evolving into policy or direction.
Have you had the unfortunate experience of seeing or hearing a manager publicly chastise a subordinate? This abuser seems to take strength from the assertion of power while the receiver visibly shrinks in stature. Observers feel pity for one and anger at the other.
Have you had the good fortune to work for someone that seemed to draw the best out of you through constructive coaching and encouragement? This type of an impact can last a lifetime.
Have you wondered what it is about that manager that everyone wants to work for? The comments usually go something like this: "She`s demanding and holds us accountable, but we`re accomplishing things and having fun in the process."
A License To Talk:
While the communication process comprises much more than just the words that we string together, the words truly serve to build-up people, teams and organizations. Words inspire, motivate, challenge, teach and encourage.
Or, they serve as the blunt force weapons of personal and professional trauma and destruction.
Good leaders are builders and they form and shape their words into phrases and questions that encourage learning and improvement and risk-taking and more learning. Good leaders are master craftsmen in many ways, and words are some of their most important tools.
Less effective leaders use words like tools as well, but in this case they crassly apply the words of brute force in settings where precision is called for. They use the end of a wrench to pound in a nail, and seem to disregard the damage to the surrounding area. Of course, they should have used a finishing hammer and a nail set.
Other leaders use words to shape agendas. Good politicians broker understanding and alliances through their words. Less well-intentioned leaders use words to sew the seeds of doubt and mistrust and to shape alliances that benefit one person or one team.
Words are powerful tools. Perhaps leaders should be trained and certified on their use. Hmmm., perhaps leaders should be trained in general, much as a master craftsperson would train an apprentice.
Sticks and Stones:
I doubt that many of us have spent a lot of time considering our approach to word-choice much since our playground days, where the use of words as weapons by some is first mastered. The defense of, "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me," was never really a good defense, was it?
While many of us intuitively understand how powerful our words are, in my own experience
, we do a less than effective job teaching this to our apprentice leaders. Consider how many "coaching opportunities" are created as we deal with teams and individuals that push back based on the "approach" used by these early leaders. Peel away the issues and at the bottom, you`ll almost always find an issue with words.
There`s no manual for this topic, but perhaps a few well-intended "words" will help. Consider sharing this with your apprentice leaders and perhaps you`ll avoid the "he said/she said" coaching calls in favor of something more constructive.
Words of Advice for The Words of a Leader
- Listen more than you talk. Use your words sparingly. Leading doesn`t mean that you are required to talk more than anyone else. Quite the opposite.
- Think before you talk. Choose your words deliberately.
- A well-turned question is often more effective to get people thinking than a dozen statements. Manage your questions to comments ratio.
- All of your words must include respect as a foundation. As soon as respect is left out of your words, you`ve lost.
- Make certain that your words and your body language match. Given a choice between the two, studies indicate that people believe the body language over the words.
- Tough conversations on performance are part of your job. Embrace this reality and don`t sugarcoat your words. Do keep them focused on behaviors and keep the behaviors linked to business.
- Genuine words of encouragement and well-deserved words of praise are rocket fuel for individuals and teams.
- "The do must match the tell." The words of leaders not backed by actions and support are just so much hot air.
- Be aware that your words as a leader will be amplified and distorted. Manage your words carefully.
The Bottom-Line on The Words of a Leader:
The choice is yours to lead like a master craftsman or a common hack. Choose and use your words carefully and you`ll be amazed at what those around you create.

Excellent insightful post on many aspects of communication. Enjoyable and informative content.
Very much enjoyed the posting…especially the idea of slowing down when it comes to communication. We seem to be obsessed to speed at work but to what end? We get more done but with less substance.
Over the weekend, I had a conversation with a now-retired manager. He talked about his first job as a plant manager.
"The first day, they took me on a tour of the plant. Along the way I made little comments, like, 'We probably should clean that up' and 'Maybe we should move that machine over there.'
The next day, when I walked through the plant, all those things had been done. I never expected that. I didn't mean to give commands. But when you're the boss, people listen to you and they pay attention to what you say. I was a lot more careful after that."
That's interesting enough. But there were several other people there who had exactly the same experience. We started trading stories.
The most outrageous was a fellow who made a short speech on his first day as a new Division Manager. The next day, when he came in, he found the building plastered with posters bearing key phrases from his speech. The marketing department had worked through the night to create, print, frame and hang them.
He asked why. "They said that I said we needed to keep these things in front of us at all times. I don't even remember saying that."
As I was reading I was thinking about all that transpired around the President's speech to Congress last night.
Where can we see implementation of the recommendations in "The Words of a Leader" and where not?
Dorothy, thanks for stopping over. Art and I enjoyed working together on this!
P, I agree – lots of speed, but what about quality of the work?
Wally, loved the stories, thanks. Actually repeated the one about the posters to a new VP who said that she needs to be careful about what she says – and that with her new promotion, she's noticed that people "listen differently" to her.
Paul, I think we'll have to watch and see if the President's words create effective action!
This was perfect timing for me. I'm preparing to train a group of facilitators who in turn are running leadership development programmes. My theme is chairing with intent. I'm trying to help others identify their intent and have it shine through in their preparation, words and action. So many of our staff are keen for quick wins and fixes in this field, yet I become more convinced that the answers lie in hard work, self-reflection and detail. More like an apprenticeship where there is no avoiding the hard yet obvious lessons. That maybe your room setup, or your introduction, or eye contact, or first words just aren't in line with your intention, and it's this that is causing problems within a group and not something more esoteric. Thanks for your post I'll share your thoughts with my group next week.
One of the best things for me – and I'll bet for Art, too – is to have someone like you read a post and find a way to put it to work. Congrats on the good work you are doing, and thanks for sharing your insight. Although I rarely state it as directly as you have, I also believe and continue to spread the word that there are no quick fixes in leadership-land.
Mary Jo,
Excellent discussion about the words that leaders use. As I have stated previously, this is where my introversion story will be very helpful.
As to your points, I know that there are many times where I have had to postpone speech due to negative (usually angry) thoughts, with mixed results. Someone doing something that irritates me may bring about anger. Even though I do wait a while before speaking, I understand how hard it is to avoid appearing angry, because my words sometimes betray my anger even after deliberation.
Art gave an example that hit home for me about a manager publicly chastising an employee. I knew a supervisor that would do that to anyone who made a mistake, even those who admitted the mistakes to her before she caught the mistake herself. This fostered an atmosphere of employees covering up mistakes rather than learning from them.
Mary Jo and Art, thought-provoking post and the subject was enhanced by including both your points-of-view. Really great approach. The bottom line for me is personal responsibility – taking responsibility for the words we say and the impact those words have on others. Using language effectively and intentionally is critical for leaders.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Young people with the kind of irregular heartbeat known as atrial fibrillation may be better off undergoing surgery to fix the problem instead of taking medication first, a new study suggests.
Atrial fibrillation, which causes a person's pulse rate to change from minute to minute, can boost the risk of stroke and cause other problems. The condition is rare in younger people and can occur for no known reason.
There are a number of treatments for atrial fibrillation, including medication, cardioversion (in which a doctor shocks the heart to try to restore it to a normal rhythm) and catheter ablation (a surgery that destroys the tissue in the heart that causes the problem).
A heart specialist who's familiar with the new study findings said ablation is indeed a worthwhile alternative. "Younger patients tend to respond very well to this therapy," said Dr. John Day, medical director of heart rhythm services at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah.
In the study, which was released online Sept. 21 in advance of publication in the journal Circulation: Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology, researchers examined the medical records of 1,548 patients who underwent catheter ablation between 2000 and 2008 in the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The average age of the patients was 56 years, and 70 percent were men.
The investigators found that younger patients had fewer complications than older ones and did just as well after the surgery. A year after surgery, 87 percent of the patients under the age of 45 had experienced little or no atrial fibrillation.
Why choose the surgery instead of medication? "While atrial fibrillation is more common with increasing age, clinical experience has suggested that younger patients tend to be more symptomatic and less willing to take long-term medications," Dr. Peter Leong-Sit, study lead author and an arrhythmia p

WASHINGTON, DC-March 31, 1999-Remedy Corporation (NASDAQ: RMDY), Intel Corporation and Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ:SYMC) today announced that the three companies have joined forces to provide IT (Information Technology) organizations a standards-based, integrated platform for IT Service Management. The relationship builds on existing agreements between the companies, which have been working together for more than a year to deliver increased integration to their customers.
This new platform solves a common problem that IT organizations face when attempting to lower costs and increase service. The traditional options have been to purchase multiple, unintegrated products to accomplish their goals, creating islands of automation within their environment, or compromise quality and purchase proprietary single-vendor solutions. To solve this IT service challenge, many organizations purchase a stand-alone help desk application and desktop management product, as well as multiple security and repair utilities.
The new integrated IT service management platform is comprised of industry-leading and award-winning products from companies recognized as leaders in their respective market segments, including help desk (Remedy Help Desk 4.0), desktop management (Intel LANDesk Management Suite 6.2) and security/PC utilities (Symantec's Help Desk Assistant 1.0).
Individual Applications Available from All Three Vendors All three vendors offer combinations of the help desk solutions as follows:
Remedy Help Desk 4.0 now includes all the products in the platform. Through the integration of these applications directly into the Remedy Service Console, IT staff now have a consolidated approach to problem avoidance, problem management, and problem resolution. This will allow IT organizations to significantly improve desktop, server and network uptime; manage enterprise-wide configuration changes; and substantially improve first call resolution with a corresponding reduction in support costs. By pulling these variable costs out of the service equation, IT will be empowered to reinvest financial and human resources to deliver higher Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and higher customer satisfaction.
Through the inclusion of Intel LANDesk Management Suite 6.2, users of the Remedy Help Desk have seamless access to a central console from which they can manage software distribution, track assets, perform desktop and server remote control and maintenance operations, and meter application licenses. These powerful capabilities enable a superior level of problem resolution, with complete desktop management for Windows NT* and Novell NetWare* networks without requiring the technician to leave his or her desk.
The inclusion of Symantec's Norton AntiVirus and Norton HelpDesk Assistant allows seamless access directly from a trouble ticket to critical PC and server utilities, file repair and transfer and disaster recovery capabilities. Because Norton HelpDesk Assistant integrates market segment-leading support tools including Norton Ghost, and tools to remotely control and deploy these solutions on networked and remote PCs, support calls can be closed faster and help desk costs can be significantly reduced. By proactively deploying these solutions to desktops, the IT organization can prevent system failures before they occur, resulting in an overall decrease in calls to the help desk.
In addition, Intel's LANDesk Management Suite 6.2 will include Remedy's Help Desk Express product, a full-function help desk based on Remedy Help Desk 4.0. And, Symantec's Norton HelpDesk Assistant 1.0 will include a coupon for Remedy's Help Desk Express.
"All three of our firms have been working toward this goal for the past year with various product initiatives," said Gary Oliver, general manager for the Remedy IT Service Management division. "Each of us is a leader in our space and we realized the value of providing an integrated 'no compromises' solution to our customers."
"Intel has worked with Remedy for more than a year to remove the burden of integration from our customers. The response from customers has been a strong endorsement of this integration," said Dave Taylor, director of marketing for Intel's System Management Division. "Several of our channel allies have stepped up to fill the role of integrators and have been key to delivering this value. Now, the addition of the Symantec technologies to this solution increases the probability of problem avoidance."
"Symantec, Remedy and Intel are all committed to developing and delivering best-of-breed solutions that reduce the help desk burden and cost of supporting networked and remote computer users," said Enrique Salem, vice president of Symantec's Security and Assistance Business Unit. "As our alliance with Remedy and Intel continues to flourish, corporate IT organizations will reap increasingly significant benefits in the areas of call avoidance, first call resolution and overall support cost reduction."
Plans for this new phase in the three-way relationship currently include worldwide co-marketing programs, cooperation among the customer service organizations for faster response time, joint channel programs for rapid deployment and closely-integrated product and technology offerings from all three vendors.
Companies purchasing the Remedy Help Desk 4.0 will receive 10 seats of Norton HelpDesk Assistant, Norton Anti-Virus and LANDesk Management Suite 6.2 with their purchase. Integrated versions of the Remedy Help Desk 4.0 product line and LANDesk Management Suite 6.2 are both available immediately. Symantec's Norton AntiVirus and Help Desk Assistant products for integration with this platform will be added to the Remedy Help Desk Product beginning in May. Purchasers of the Remedy solution prior to the bundling of the Symantec products will receive these products shipped separately in May as well.

"Thirty-four years. I never shaved it. 1978... Is that 34 years?"he asks with a laugh. "Hey, why not look for a different place that might have some magic yeast in it."
Rogue Ales' president Brett Joyce explained they tried to harvest new yeast strains from some of their own hopyard, but nothing developed, so kind of as a joke...
"We had our lab guy take a couple of swabs, by putting a q-tip in here, or taking a clip off. I don't know what I thought about it. I said, 'Whatever,' you know."
But amazingly, the lab guy found a yeast cell, did some fermentation tests and the unorthodox "Beard Beer" was born.
For the Maier, who's equal parts artist and scientist...
He questions the initial "eeww" factor some may have that beard equals weird.
"I don't know why, yeast is everywhere,"he explains. "You're really not drinking the beard you're drinking a great beer that happens to have a yeast in it that comes from a beard."
Right now the Beard Beer is being fine tuned.

It was pretty good with thin cut veggies over soba noodles. I made it with a touch of chili powder instead of pepper flakes in hopes that it would be a kid pleaser... it was not. 3 out of 3 kids at my table would not eat it.flag if inappropriate
Really goodflag if inappropriate
Quick and easy summer dinner. Only used 1/4 cup of peanut butter and it was perfect. Otherwise, followed the recipe.flag if inappropriate
I'm originally from NYC and have had some of the best Chinese food around. I was very impressed by this recipe. It was INCREDIBLE! In fact, it was better than any CSN I've had at restaurants. At first, I had left out the vinegar and broth because I didn't think the recipe sounded right with them. When the sauce came out way too thick, I ended up putting in the broth and vinegar after all. I'm so glad I did. This is the best recipe for Cold Sesame Noodles I've ever tried.flag if inappropriate
Super Yum! My husband and I loved it and the kids gobbled it up. Made it just as written with the exception of adding chunks of cucumber, chicken and shrimp to make it a meal. PERFECT to make ahead for a summer time dinner. Very very good! A new favorite for my family.flag if inappropriate
This was a very easy recipe to make. My 4 year old niece had a lot of fun helping me make it. I didn't have red pepper flakes on hand, so I used the powdered kind instead... worked just fine. One word of advice: if you think you'll have leftovers, garnish each individual plate with cucumbers rather than in the dish itself, because the cucumber will get soggy in the leftovers. By the way, this tastes even better the next day!flag if inappropriate
Very good. I recommend making as written, tasting and altering to taste. I found I wanted to up the peanut butter and brown sugar both a little (not much!) and then I had just the right amount of sauce and it tasted just as I wanted it to. Very nice easy dish that pretty much replicates what you get at your local Chinese restaurant.flag if inappropriate
I gave this 4 forks with the following alterations. I used whole-wheat linguine and grated two small cloves of garlic into the sauce ingredients. I doubled the sauce save for the peanut butter, and I used 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water and 1/2 cup vegetable broth to thin the sauce. To the noodles and sauce, I added julienned carrot and red bell pepper, snow peas, sliced Szechuan marinated tofu, and sliced scallions. I garnished with crushed toasted peanuts and toasted white sesame seeds..flag if inappropriate
This is a really great base recipe. I did make some adjustments. I added garlic to the sauce, sauteing it along with the ginger and pepper flakes before adding the other ingredients instead of just dumping everything as the recipe calls for. I cut down slightly on the amount of peanut butter and reserved a cup of pasta water to add to the sauce to thin it, as it thickens really quickly. I used wheat linguine and rinsed the noodles after draining, this seemed to prevent the sticking others mentioned. I garnished this with cilantro and lime and highly recommend it: the added freshness really elevates the other flavors!flag if inappropriate
I thought this recipe was very good. Like previous reviewers, I decreased the amount of peanut butter. I also added a little garlic. I will be taking this to a picnic and will add grilled chicken and fresh chopped peppers and cucumbers. One thing I did to avoid drying out the noodles: I made the noodles and then refrigerated them overnight. While making the sauce, I tossed the very cold noodles in cold water and drained them before adding the sauce.flag if inappropriate

What is happening in this timeline?
My heart can't take it.
I'm more confused than ever.
The rules have been reset.
Like Jane Austen with time-traveling killer robots.
Though they didn't know that last night's True Detective finale was going to break the sh*t out of HBO GO, the executives at HBO did know it was going to…
She's a really good mom.
Emilia Clarke, Margot Robbie, and Brie Larson are testing.
HBO's really pumping money into this show now.
Good news for fans of epic fantasy and, or birds flying in slow motion. HBO has released a new teaser trailer for their epic fantasy series, "Game of Thrones."
The clip, which ran before last night's episode of "True Blood," featured your standard fanta-crap fare: men on horses, sword fights, a single hot chick with long, flowing hair. But it also contained a lot of slow-motion shots of a raven flying. I'm sure the raven has some significance, but I'm not going to look it up. That crap's for dorks, yo! And I'm no dork! I'll just check my fantasy football stats, instead. (Deadline)
Watch the new "Game of Thrones" teaser after the jump.

I found a really cool article in my newspaper a little over a week ago. It was all about spring cleaning…the green way.
The thing is, I've always been into chemical-free cleaners, even before the whole "green" movement began. I grew up in a home where my mom used Melaleuca, which is a company that makes chemical-free stuff. Everything from cleaners to makeup to personal care products. Soooo, it's always been something I enjoyed.
Unfortunately, the aforementioned company is just like every other company out there (in my cheapskate opinion): overpriced. When I can make "green" cleaners for less than half the price, I'm gonna do it. That's why I loved this article. It shared a lot of cleaning ideas that I already knew, but a few new ones as well. I especially love this all purpose cleaner recipe:
- Citrus peels
- Vinegar
- Water
Fill a quart sized glass jar with citrus peels. This doesn't need to be done all at once. Whenever you eat a citrus, just put the peel in the jar. When it is sufficiently full, pour vinegar over the peels to cover. Let the mixture sit for at least two and a half weeks. The vinegar will take on an orange/golden hue and smell powerfully of citrus. Fill half a spray bottle with citrus-vinegar, straining as you pour. Fill the rest with water. Use with a rag to clean, well, anything! It works well on sinks, mirrors, windows, floors, wooden chairs, and counters. Best of all, this is made with the citrus peels you'd otherwise be throwing out! (recipe from Penniless Parenting, MCT)
(You can see that I've just started on this…but I'll be sure to share my thoughts when the entire cleaner is made!)
Here are the basic recipes and techniques to get you started with your green cleaning, which I'm telling you, will save you some major green!!
Glass cleaner –
Mix 1/4 cup vinegar with 1 quart of water in a spray bottle. Spray on glass and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth or old newspaper
Countertops and bathroom tile –
Mix 2 parts vinegar and 1 part baking soda with 4 parts water. Apply with a sponge, scour, and wipe away.
Floors –
Mix 4 cups white distilled vinegar with about a gallon of hot water. If desired, add a few drops of pure peppermint or lemon oil for scent. After damp mopping the floors, the vinegar smell will dissipate quickly.
Wood furniture –
Mix equal parts lemon juice and olive oil. Apply a small amount to a cloth and rub onto the furniture.
Mold and mildew –
Wipe with straight vinegar

I agree with everything you said Don, and your results are speaking for themselves. Local contrast is the key. Adams alludes to this but doesn't really talk much about it. I've come to believe Kodak endorsements may have had a subtle influence in the editing of his books. Or maybe he just became enthralled with that type of technical detail in his later years as the technology moved out of the Rochester laboratries.
But to me, the masking process seems very time consuming and tedious. I know Lynn Radeka (sp?) uses a similar process with exquisite results. Many others though, are achieving that feeling of light without masking. My feeling is that it can still be achieved with more straightforward technique.
However, to qualify my statement, I don't feel that I have achieved that feeling yet.

Summer Rayne Oakes, the "Eco Model." Photos.
We've been big fans of, and fast friends (at least in our own minds) with Summer Rayne Oakes for years, ever since our Catherine Fordham interviewed her for elephant journal (when it was a print magazine) a couple eons ago. We've since blogged (and interviewed her) re: her tireless work for Mother Earth many times. And though she's less of a model than an earth wonk and a fun-loving activist, and now show biz personality, she's certainly done her time in front of the camera.

by Meredith Wilensky. Wilensky was the 2013-2014 associate director and fellow at Columbia Law School's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. She currently clerks for Judge Claudia Wilken of the Northern District of California.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade and Globalization Agreement (TPP) is currently being negotiated by 12 Pacific Rim countries: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam. The Obama Administration maintains that it will promote strong environmental protection in the TPP and "insist on a robust, fully enforceable environment chapter." To that effect, the United States is advocating that the agreement include commitments to effectively enforce domestic environmental laws and provisions to address wildlife trafficking, illegal logging and illegal fishing practices.
A strong environment chapter is an admirable goal, but it does not discount the potential threats to the environment posed by other chapters of the agreement, especially the investment chapter. Modern international investment agreements (IIAs) impose standards of conduct on host countries in their dealings with foreign investors. For example, expropriation provisions require governments to compensate for all takings and "Fair and Equitable Treatment" obligations set a minimum standard of treatment for all foreign investors. While these provisions are intended to ensure fair and ethical dealings with foreign investors, they can have sweeping repercussions for host states' environmental policy.
Investor protection provisions are particularly powerful because they are usually accompanied by an investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism, which permits aggrieved investors to initiate arbitration in ad hoc international tribunals for compensation of losses that the tribunals find have arisen from the host country's violation of the investor protection provisions. Under preexisting IIAs, investor protection provisions have been interpreted broadly to require compensation for a number of actions taken by governments to protect the environment and public health.

Taxing millionaires and billionaires is at the top of President Obama's agenda. He plans to use money extracted from "the rich" to pay for his big government - but not until he's used their cash to fuel his campaign. Mr. Obama is also all too willing to break bread with the vilified hedge-fund owner or raise a glass with the awful private-equity investor as long as their wallets are open to his billion-dollar quest for re-election. The public should see through this hypocrisy.
On Monday, Mr. Obama flew Air Force One to Manhattan for an evening of big-dollar fundraising with singer Jon Bon Jovi. Former President Bill Clinton warmed up the crowd at each event, the first of which was a $40,000 per-person reception at the home of billionaire Marc Lasry, founder of the Avenue Capital Group hedge fund.
Mr. Obama used to bash this profession with lines like, "Let's ask hedge-fund managers to stop paying taxes that are lower on their rates than their secretaries." His tone changes when he wants access to their deep pockets. This week, he thanked his hosts for being "great supporters and great friends."
Next, the two Democratic presidents were whisked from 5th Avenue to the Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria hotel, where 500 people who could afford to plunk down $2,500 enjoyed a luxurious dinner surrounded by red velvet curtains, golden drapes and glittering chandeliers. Bon Jovi performed the apt "Living on a Prayer" and the more wishful "Here Comes the Sun."
Mr. Obama didn't mention his promise to raise taxes on everyone in the room at the end of the year, but he subtly told the assembled plutocrats how he planned to spend their money on another stimulus. "The agenda that we've put forward - which says let's put people to work right now rebuilding our roads and our bridges and putting teachers back in the classroom to accelerate growth now at the same time as we couple it with long-term spending restraint - that's a recipe that works."
Mr. Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus was supposed to lower unemployment, but it's been stuck over 8 percent since it took effect. No matter, the president's song and dance culminated with a concert modestly entitled "Barack on Broadway" at The New Amsterdam Theater.
Some 1,700 high-falutin' Democrats paid up to $1,000 each to hear performances by Patti LuPone, James Earl Jones, Stockard Channing, Neil Patrick Harris and Angela Lansbury. Throughout the glitzy night, Mr. Obama's teleprompter was wiped clean of his favorite phrases "millionaires and billionaires," "it's not fair" and the "Buffett Rule."
This was just the latest stop in a chi-chi national fundraising tour that started last month with a $15 million evening at movie star George Clooney's Los Angeles home. Next week, Air Force One will shuttle Mr. Obama back to the Big Apple for a dinner co-hosted by "Vogue" magazine editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at the home of "Sex and the City" actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
Mr. Obama pretends to be the voice of the 99 percent, but he feels most at home with the 1 percent. Voters aren't likely to fall for the act. The struggling working and middle classes will look at the president's actions, rather than his rhetoric, when they decide which lever to pull in November.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLENew federal regulations requiring cleaner-burning diesel engines and the use of ultra-low-sulfur fuel may reduce emissions, but complying with these mandates can be costly. School systems, which have fleets of buses that use diesel fuel, have seen an increase in costs, from retrofitting buses with new filters and fuel pumps in preparation for the switch to ultra-low-sulfur diesel to seeing an increase in the price per gallon of the fuel. But school system officials say they're willing to comply with the regulations, even if they do hit the institutions in the pocketbook. "We have a responsibility to do our share, and we're eager to do so," said Allison Miller, the assistant superintendent of Buford City Schools. Buford's school system has seen increased costs, but the costs have not been staggering, Miller said. The school system has a fleet of 17 buses, and the system is looking at purchasing two more to handle growth, she said. Buford's neighbor, Gwinnett County Public Schools, is seeing a much larger increase in costs. Part of that has to do with the size of the county's fleet - 1,502 buses. Gwinnett's school buses burn 16,000 to 17,000 gallons of diesel per day, said Grant Reppert, the system's transportation director. Although the price of fuel fluctuates, it costs 5 to 6 cents more per gallon to use ultra-low-sulfur diesel. New engine requirements will add about $6,000 to the cost of new school buses, but GCPS has not yet had to buy a new bus under the new guidelines, Reppert said. When the school system takes bids for new buses, the cost increase may be reflected in the prices of the buses. The school system has been purchasing about 100 new buses each year because of the growth the system sees, Reppert said. The forecasting approaches for the lifespan of a school bus suggest a bus be used for eight to 12 or 14 years. "In Gwinnett, our approach has been to operate the buses for as long as they are safe and maintainable, sometimes longer than the 14-year point," Reppert said. "Our focus is always on safety and proper maintenance of our vehicles." As far as paying for the new requirements, Reppert said his office works with the budgets office to anticipate what the costs will be for the year. "The budget office manages the fluctuations through the reserving funds for emergencies," Reppert said. In Barrow County, school system officials budgeted for the increased costs at the beginning of the fiscal year, said Lisa Leighton, the Barrow County School System spokeswoman. All of Barrow's school buses have been in compliance with the new requirements for months, and all of the vehicles meet the new emissions standards, Leighton said. Leighton said the school system is not anticipating buying any new school buses this year.

Matt Stansberry & The Romance is a 10-piece band from Oklahoma City. The group formed in 2012 during the recording of their debut, seven-song EP entitled "Let's Brighten It Up". The band's unique retro rock n' roll sound is deeply rooted in old-school soul, blues and popular music, as the group is heavily inspired by 50s rock, 60s soul and 70s classic rock and funk. Although much of their inspiration comes from music of the past, there is something new and refreshing about the band and their music. The group focuses on creating a positive atmosphere that takes their listeners back to the basics with good music, classic style and energetic showmanship.
The Romance is led by songwriter and lead guitarist, Matt Stansberry, who has helped the group craft it's original style, upbeat sound and timeless look. He also pushes the band live to experiment, improvise and make each show an experience. Matt is flanked by his older brother, Joe Stansberry, on rhythm guitar and vocals, as well as two dynamite, soulful background singers, Chanda Graham and Myra Beasley. The band is rounded out with a killer rhythm section featuring Raul Alfonso on bass, Jeff Hall on drums and a tight three piece horn section.
The band performers at festivals, music halls, clubs, private events, colleges and has performed in front of crowds as large as 50,000 people. Matt Stansberry & The Romance was featured at the Oklahoma Governor's Inaugural Ball in early 2015 along with Wanda Jackson, "The Queen of Rockabilly" and Rock N' Roll of Fame Inductee. In 2014, the band released it's second album entitled "Crash Landing" and has been actively touring the Southwest and Midwest regions of the U.S. promoting both of their albums, which are available for free download at Noisetrade.

"A ten-piece homage to 1950s and 60s soul and blues that is an energetic, electric and absolutely earth-quaking musical assault. This is a big time sound from a big time band. Look for big things from Matt Stansberry & The Romance"
– Michael Canter, Jivewired
"...First and foremost was the incredible soul the band brought to the stage. Stansberry has crafted a sound that is rarely heard from new bands, especially those in Oklahoma: full horn section, soulful and engaging background singers (who thankfully weren't that much in the background) and a fun show that would be perfectly at home in Memphis or Motown"
– Jerry Wofford, Tulsa World
"This 10-piece combo is filled with brass, sass and all the sounds that define the American rock and roll experience of the last 60-plus years into a two-hour showcase of catchy songwriting and expert musicianship. Stansberry proved he's mastered leading his large band as well as his lead guitar prowess. I consider him in a class with another groundbreaking new artist, Gary Clark Jr. The (not so) secret weapons at his disposal are backup singers Myra Beasley and Chanda Graham. Dynamic balls of energy on stage, when they open their mouths and belt it, if feels like they've erupted from some old Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd classics."
– Scott Rains, The Lawton Constitution
"Stansberry really finds his groove with Let's Brighten It Up. It's not hard to imagine why he is midair on that cover. He must be jumping for joy"
– Joshua Boydston, Oklahoma Gazette
"I was able to catch Matt Stansberry's latest music project perform live at the 2013 Festival of the Arts. It's easily one of the most entertaining sets I've seen in quite a while. A huge sound, brass players, backup singers and Matt's Chuck Berry sensibilities made for a stunning concert experience. More than anything, the band is doing something big and brave. Thumbs up for doing something different. I dig in abundance"
– Nathan Poppe, The Oklahoman
"Matt Stansberry's latest project offers a sound that is both familiar and fresh – which is no small feat. The ten-plus member band delivers this exoteric rhythm and blues-meets-modern pop vibe by way of layered horns, dual guitars, keys/organ, a 'pocket' rhythm section and sassy, backing vocals. It's a potent mixture. And the group's sophomore release, Crash Landing, offers a little extra appeal for star-crossed lovers and all who've felt a touch of life's blues."
– Jim Johnson, KGOU (NPR)
"Stansberry's Buddy Holly look and Chuck Berry aesthetic cook with his large band featuring some amazing background singers and brass to complete one heck of a rocking outfit. Despite the retro vibe, Stansberry's songwriting and musical chops create very modern sensibilities."
– Scott Rains, The Lawton Constitution

What is the Sony Xperia Tablet Z?
This is Sony's entrant into the 10-inch tablet arena, pitting itself against the likes of the Google Nexus 10 and iPad 4. Its 1,920 x 1,200 resolution screen falls a little short of both, but its trump card is that, just like Sony Xperia Z phone, it's water resistant up to one metre for 30 minutes, and dust resistant. Is it enough to turn the tide in its favour?
Sony Xperia Tablet Z - Design
Vitally, the Sony Xperia Tablet Z's water resistance doesn't come at the expense of style or portability. Quite the opposite, in fact. At 495g, it's 108g lighter than a Nexus 10 and 167g lighter than an iPad 4. It's a big difference, one that makes the Sony Xperia Tablet Z comfortable to hold in one hand for prolonged periods.
It's also impressively slim - just 7.2mm all round - while the jet black design gives the Sony Xperia Tablet Z a sleek, imposing appearance that's all its own. Its size and 16:10 screen ratio is a little awkward for reading books (albeit better than 16:9 tablets), but it's perfect for games, video and web browsing.
It's just a shame it doesn't feel as good as it looks. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z doesn't feel cheap, but neither has it the premium, slick feel of an iPad or even the Microsoft Surface Pro. Its soft-touch rear, while pleasant to hold, collects greasy fingerprints like a tourist collects cheap trinkets. What's more, any downward pressure on the screen causes it to distort alarmingly.
The water resistance also requires that each port (microSD, microUSB and SIM) is hidden behind a fiddly port. Not a vital flaw, but an annoying one all the same, especially as the water resistance is more of a 'nice to have' than a 'must have' feature.
Ultimately, Sony's design is definitely a step above the usual Android tablet fare, particularly the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, but it costs the same as an iPad 4 and it doesn't look or feel like it does.
Sony Xperia Table Z - Screen & Sound Quality
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z's screen, however, is more than ordinary. Colours are rich, vivid and eye-popping at times. Sony has clearly tuned the screen to favour strong colours rather than genuine accuracy, but it's not a cause for genuine complaint. Videos and photos look fantastic, not least thanks to the deep, clean blacks.
The only cause for pause is that the resolution, 1,920 x 1,200, while admirably sharp, falls a little short of the 'retina' sharpness of the iPad 4's 2,048 x 1,536 or the Nexus 10's stupendously sharp 2,560 x 1,600 screen. In more easily comparable numbers, the Nexus 10 tops the list with 300 pixels per inch (ppi), followed by the 264 ppi iPad 4 and the 224 ppi of the Sony. It's not a problem to lose sleep over, but the fact the Nexus 10 is £80 cheaper into the bargain might be.
As for the Sony Xperia Tablet Z's speakers, here's one instance where having two of something doesn't make for a better result. The Xperia Tablet Z's speakers are passable, but for the most part they're weedy and imprecise. Dialogue lacks clarity and by default they're too quiet. Sony includes a volume boosting software mode, but it sounds horrible. Even the iPad's mono speaker is better. The only redeeming quality is they're hard to block as they project from the bottom and side edges, so it's unlikely you'll unwitingly cover both.

Brush clear / Stump Grind help.
Hey guys...im not sure whats upo with lawnsite but they ant uploading my pictures right so bare with me here. I got a job coming up, a lady wants this brush area converted to turf. She has been spraying round up for years now so a lot of the stuff just comes up witha kick of the steel toe. I will be grinding down 8 stumps which im kinda nervous about, first grind expierence, the good news is that all the stumps are mostly small and old and rotted. so it shouldnt be tough grinding. I just want some confidence im going bout this right i guess. Im thinking ill grind all the big stuff first, stumps so big grounds roots etc. QUESTION should i leave the wood chips and till? or try to remove them as best as i can. Im thinking ill drind, remove all the woody stuff coming up like thorn bushes, some sumac, other crap that is bassiclly dead from all the round up she has put down. Once clear i should roto till or cultivate the area right? Then seed and water and hope i get grass!? the area is prob about 1600 sqft. I have it bidded at $820.00 this is for grinding 8 rotted stumps which i csan kick and chip, removal of all debris roto tilling and seeding, maybe a started fert too. I want this too take no more then 8 hours and i hope to only have to rent the grinder for 4 hours. I will have two my best guys helping me. heres a pic sorry its upside down blame lawnsite.
Thanks so much guys any help greatly apreciated.
Also i guess my main concern is that when i till im going to run into a ton **** underneath ground level that wont be removed when i clear. Iv used a brush hog befor enad these is no where needed for something like this. Just a lot of shovel work i guess.....also any idea of how much of a fight its going to be keeping this **** form groing back, like the thorns and the wild sumac.
Before you dig, call Miss Utility.
It's the law.
Yes, this includes tilling and stump grinding.
They have to locate all Cable, Water, Telephone, Gas, and Electric.
It will take time before they can come out and mark everything, at least a few days, sometimes 1-2 weeks.
You can't do anything until ALL of the utilities have been properly identified, once all is properly marked
there are still instructions to be followed but they spell this out for you, the main thing is that all lines
are properly marked.
So, call Miss Utility first thing in the morning.

Comments about Overseas Connection Authentic Professional Seed Rattle:
This is the real deal. Authentic sound and feel and well built. It's a pleasure to pick up a natural instrument and discover it's hidden voices. You just don't get that with "plastic everything" percussion instruments. This rattle has that special feel. You can always make it fit in whatever setting you're in. nice!
Comments about Overseas Connection Authentic Professional Seed Rattle:
The seed rattle is just perfect for my needs. The women's choorus in the play IOCASTE all use various sound making devices, tambourine, rattle, rocks to underscore and highlight the action and words of the cast. This seed rattle is great in the harsh and penetrating sound it produces and along with its beautiful appearance wil be a significant addition to the performance of the play. I will recommend your products to the rest of the theatrical community in Portland, Oregon.
This seed rattle is sturdily constructed and easy to hold onto.
Not only does this seed rattle sound great, having a harsh penetrating authority sound, but it is also beautiful in appearance.
Great price and especially appreaciate not having to pay shippping.

Generally the first signs of new coloring begin to appear within the first month of daily application of the product combined with sunlight exposure. When artificial UV light is used, the first signs of repigmentation may take longer to appear as these treatments initially need a period of time in which the dose is very slowly increased. When depigmentation occurs on hands and feet it may take up to three months or even more before showing the first signs of repigmentation.
Not everybody will see the same type of response. It may occur in any of the following ways:
New colour starts from the borders of the spots towards the inside.
Small dots of colour inside the spot appear and then begin to expand until they cover the spots.
The entire spot may change colour starting with pink, then light brown and finally the normal colour.
Finally, it is possible to observe a combination of all or any of the above.
Results are permanent. It is not possible to predict if new areas of depigmentation may appear as it depends on the underlying skin condition. The early use of the product would provide optimal results in case of new depigmentation.
You need to expose the areas of skin depigmentation to direct sunlight, starting at about 5 minutes of exposure and increasing sun exposure by 5 minutes a day until reaching 30 minutes. Only depigmented areas need sunlight exposure. The rest of the body can be covered. Protect your eyes with sunglasses. If sun exposure is hard to obtain regularly or simply for greater convenience and privacy, Novitil® can also be used in combination with artificial ultraviolet light (UVA, UVB). Please click here for more information about usage.
Yes, it is. Nutrition is important to enhance the function of the immune system and to protect the skin. A supplement that includes the main vitamins and mineral is important to help the repigmentation process in cases of vitiligo. To learn more about Vitiligo and nutrition please click here.
Infrared light (heat lamp), from a distance of 45 to 50 cm, for half an hour after using the gel is useful as a complement. However, it should always be combined with a sufficient amount of sunlight exposure. For more information about Novitil® usage and infrared light please click here.
Regular use of Novitil® may be combined with an artificial source of Ultraviolet light (UV) (instead of sunlight exposure). The benefits of adding Novitil® to a schedule of UV light treatment include more complete results and shorter duration of treatment (decreasing amount of UV light, and risk of side effects). Artificial ultraviolet light should only be used following directions from someone who is appropriately qualified, and has experience regarding its use in cases of depigmentation.
Typically, either complete results or substantial improvement are obtained within six months.
Spots in the face, neck, chest, abdomen, inguinal, and perianal regions, and legs response faster. Depigmentation on the hands and feet take longer. The tip of the fingers is particularly difficult. In cases where the condition has been evident for many years, response to depigmentation treatment with a duration of many years, response to repigmentation treatment in the hands and feet may be slower.
Start applying Novitil® as soon as possible, the earlier you use it, the sooner you get results.
Do not wash the treated area for at least 2 hours. Novitil® dries quickly so it does not represent any inconvenience. Leaving Novitil® on the treated areas should cause no discomfort.
Twice a day. Please click here for more information about usage.
People with skin depigmentation.
Novitil® helps the pigmentation system of the skin work naturally so that the skin may regain its normal, natural colour. It will help in most cases of skin discolorations from light white spots to achromias (total loss of pigmentation). The most important cause of skin depigmentation is Vitiligo. Please click here for more information about the main types of skin hypopigmentation.
Some common skin white spots are caused by fungus (Pityriasis versicolor/alba). These kinds of white spots require a product to kill the fungus. As always, in case of doubt, see a physician.
As soon as white spots appear, for the best results.
No. Some people feel an itching sensation right before pigmentation begins. It may be likened to the sensation experienced when a wound is healing.
No, it does not irritate or harm the skin.
No. This product has been developed from natural sources and contains no harmful substances or irritants . It will not harm your skin. It has no side effects.
Novitil® contains the following ingredients: Proteins, Polypeptides, Distilled Water, Glycerine, Aloe Barbadensis, Carboxymethylcellulose, Camphor, Menthol, Kathon and Oligoelements.
It helps control the microscopic inflammatory skin process that leads to depigmentation and stimulate melanocytes to produce melanin. It helps the skin to regain its normal colour by naturally stimulating the pigmentation process, enhancing the capacity of the skin melanocytes to respond to sunlight (or artificial ultraviolet light) without the side-effects of other products.
