Rating firms will give organizations the historical success of specialized firms and grade them just like S&P does it for countries. Rating will bring auto control system to both employees and specialized firms.

Through on-demand sourcing, optimizing cash reserves will be easier than ever. Also organizations can be much more agile, business-oriented and focused. The other side of the story, employees, will be more satisfied as the on-demand way of employment will fulfill their incentives more than today in the business environment.

In her book “Writing Down the Bones” Natalie Goldberg talks about writing practice. It’s an exercise where you sit down and just write without editing what comes out of you. This is also a good idea for musicians to do.

She’ll have her student’s do timed writing exercises, i.e., you sit down and write for 20 minutes non-stop. Your job is not to critique the writing but enter into it like a meditation.

The whole purpose of this is to get to a place where you are not thinking – you are feeling. This is the realm of true artistic expression and can be reached by anyone if they learn to let go of self-judgement and instead, focus on the process of creating.

The most fun I have is when I let go and just let the music take over. It’s only at these times that I’ll write something down that resonates within me and develop it into something later – which is not to say that it is not something already.

$55m: the reward for sticking with Tiger Top lawyers advise Elin

0 Comments | Sunday Telegraph, The; London (UK), Dec 20, 2009 | by PHILIP SHERWELL in New York

THE WIFE of Tiger Woods will miss out on more than $50 million ( pounds 31 million) if she pursues an immediate divorce following his string of affairs, top lawyers have told The Sunday Telegraph.

Raoul Felder, a celebrity divorce attorney whose client list has included the former wives of Martin Scorsese and Tom Clancy, said that Elin Nordegren would be “financially ill-advised” to walk out on Woods for good.

Miss Nordegren, 29, was widely reported last week to be “100 per cent” set on a divorce and in line to receive in excess of $100 million in one of sport’s most expensive separations.

But Mr Felder said that if she divorced her husband now, she would only be entitled under Florida law to the sum agreed in the prenuptial agreement before the couple married in 2004 – believed to be $20 million. Woods, the world’s number one golfer, would also have to pay child support for their two-year-old daughter and baby son.

By contrast, her legal team started negotiating a lucrative postnuptial deal just days after the sex scandal surrounding her husband broke three weeks ago. Lawyers familiar with the talks said she could be paid up to an additional $55 million to remain with Woods, 33, for just two more years – a figure that may well have risen further as up to 14 alleged mistresses emerged.

“If this is a financial calculation, then I don’t think you will see her seeking a divorce,” Mr Felder said. “If she left now, she would only get the prenup deal. You normally don’t get extra reparations for adultery or humiliation.”

Miss Nordegren, a former model, has moved out of the family home near Orlando and is expected to fly to her homeland of Sweden with the children for Christmas. But if she leaves her husband permanently, it will be because of principle not profit.

Speculation that she might pocket colossal sums from a divorce has been fuelled by reports that she was consulting with Sorrell Trope, one of Hollywood’s most formidable divorce lawyers.

Robert Wallack, a prominent divorce attorney whose clients have included the model Christie Brinkley and the hip hop impresario Damon Dash, said that he believed Mr Trope would be brought on board to add some heavy-hitting power to her negotiating team.

“The circumstances present her with a golden opportunity to renegotiate her deal in an extremely favourable manner,” he said.

The regular leaks from “close friends” of Miss Nordegren that she was intent on divorce – and her willingness to be pictured without her wedding ring – could have been part of that bargaining strategy, lawyers said.

Mr Trope, 82, has represented stars from Cary Grant to Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant and Britney Spears. “He is a vastly-experienced and respected divorce lawyer sought out by celebrities because of his prominence and expertise and also his experience in handling sensitive high net-worth cases,” Mr Wallack said.

Woods is “doing everything he can to save his marriage”, according to an insider quoted on the TMZ website. There is also a strong financial motivation for Woods to persuade Miss Nordegren to remain his wife, even if she ends up leaving him in the future with a much bigger payout. The pretence of maintaining his marriage will help his team in its efforts to salvage some of the endorsement deals that made Woods the world’s first billion-dollar-earning athlete.

Woods has not been seen in public since he was taken to hospital on Nov 27 with facial lacerations after he crashed his car near his Florida home. He was allegedly pursued from the house by his wife who brandished a golf club.

In the first sightings since that mysterious accident, neighbours said that he was seeking solace by hitting golf balls in the evening on a floodlit range near his home.

Although some sponsors have already abandoned him – the luxury Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer was the latest on Friday when it said that it was dropping Woods from its US advertising campaigns – he still had some high-profile defenders. The problem is that their endorsements may not be the most welcome, given their own chequered private lives.

Rudolph Giuliani, the thrice-married former New York mayor who moved out of his official residence after announcing he was leaving his second wife for his mistress, was the latest famous adulterer to proffer his support. “He’s going through a tough period,” he said last week. “He’s a very, very fine man … We know he’s going to get through it.”

Donald Trump has predicted that Woods would emerge “hotter than ever”. The tycoon, who began seeing Marla Maples while still married to his first wife, Ivana, was gushing in his backing. “[He's] one of the greatest athletes in the world. He’s had a very interesting and traumatic couple of weeks [but] he’s a wonderful guy.”

P Diddy, the rapper whose long term girlfriend left him after reports that he fathered a child with another woman, said on Twitter: “Ye without sin cast the 1st stone!!!! Put down your rocks sinner!!!!!”

And Snoop Dogg, a veteran in the rap world, saved his fire for the various former paramours of Woods

How to Care for Your Atlanta Roof in the Summer by Tim McLoughlin
in Home / Home Repair (submitted 2010-06-22)

As we enter the summer months in Atlanta, it is crucial that homeowners are aware of the tasks that can help extend the life and reliability of their Atlanta roof, whether that be clearing out gutters from spring flowers or inspecting the roof for membrane uplift.


Tips for Asphalt, Slate, Tile and Wood Roofs

* Clear gutters and downspouts to enable water to flow freely

* Clean roof drains and gutters from spring time flower blossoms

* During the next wind storm, inspect your roof for shingle lifting. Shingle lifting is an indication that the adhesive strip holding down the shingles is no longer performing its duty and should be replaced. As a result, your roof may be vulnerable to leaks and shingle blow off.

* Remove moss on the roof by sweeping it off either while it is wet or by applying a roof moss killer product (available at local hardware stores). Once the moss is dead, sweep it off the roof.

* Never walk or sit on your ridge shingles, especially if you have continuous ridge ventilation.


Pressure Washing an Atlanta Roof

* Atlanta roofing specialists at KTM Roofing do not recommend pressure washing roofs, especially if you have asphalt shingles. Pressure washing can remove the granules which are the shingle’s sunscreen material. If you lose that sunscreen layer, you are exposing the asphalt shingle to harsh UV rays which will start premature aging, and the shingles will become brittle.

* With cedar shingles, pressure washing may remove the top, aged layer of the roof resulting in thinner shingles and a decreased ability for the cedar to repel rain water.


Flat/Torch Down Roofs

* Due to the summer heat in Atlanta, KTM Roofing recommends you perform roof inspections on your torch down roof – a roof consisting of layers of fiberglass and polyester, combined with bitumen, that are added to the regular tar and gravel – in the cooler morning temperatures to prevent damage to the torch down bitumen.

* Due to Atlanta’s strong winds, it is crucial you inspect your Atlanta roof for membrane uplift around perimeters and elevation changes. Prime time for roof inspection is following a strong wind storm.

* Torch-down roofs are strong, easy to repair and require little maintenance. However, it is important to routinely inspect torch-down and hot tar roof surfaces for deep cracking. If your roof resembles alligator skin, it may be nearing its end, and it’s time to contact a roofing contractor for an inspection.

* Every five years, KTM Roofing specialists recommend applying an aluminum-based coating in order to protect the roof from UV degradation.

Although we advise you to keep a keen eye on your roof and inspect it often, your safety is of primary importance

Ultimately your body will let you know when you need to sleep, and it is highly recommended for health reasons to listen.

What Makes Us Want to Sleep?

The amount of time that we spend awake is not necessarily what determines how sleepy we are. Our pattern of sleeping and waking is largely determined by forces called circadian rhythms, which are controlled by our internal clock. Take the example of a night shift worker; he/she may have a fairly regular, eight hour sleeping pattern, say 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. but because this schedule reverses natural sleep patterns, his/her body clock may demand sleep at one a.m., right in the middle of their shift. It is only with time, and great difficulty, that a shift worker may be able to later these circadian rhythms enough to function on an artificial schedule. Human beings are capable of altering our sleep patterns to a certain extent, through sheer willpower and the use of drugs like caffeine, but ultimately, it is our internal clock that tells us when it is appropriate to get some rest.

Purchasing a memory foam mattress may be the easiest step towards better sleep.
