0 Comments | Executive Quote and Information Service : EQUIS, Apr 13, 2009
THOMASVILLE, N.C. — Lexington Home Brands will offer dealer incentives during the High Point Market with drawings for prize packages tailored to each of three new lifestyle collections the company is offering.
“We believe that the excitement of fresh and innovative product at retail will be an important tipping point in compelling consumers to reengage in the home furnishings category,” said Phil Haney, Lexington president and CEO. “To that end, we are introducing three powerful lifestyle collections in April that will allow our retailers to connect with consumers who are shopping with a keen eye towards style, value and relevance.”
Island Estate from the company’s Tommy Bahama Home line features refined Caribbean styling with a blend of natural materials, textures and new finish colors.
Black Ice, under the Lexington brand, is a contemporary design with bold architectural lines inspired by classic Campaign styling. Polished silver hardware and silver nailhead trim contrast with the satin black finish.
Cimarron, also a Lexington collection, freshly interprets traditional English styling with hand-hewn alder tops, gentle distressing and a hand-rubbed finish that imparts the hand and patina of a cherished antique.

Corruption trial begins against former Illinois Gov. Blagojevich
0 Comments | The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star, Norfolk, VA, Jun 4, 2010
CHICAGO | The corruption trial of Rod Blagojevich began Thursday, 18 months after authorities arrested him at home at dawn and accused him of trying to sell the Senate seat that President Barack Obama had vacated for the White House.
Blagojevich, 53, arrived at federal court with his wife, Patti. He has pleaded not guilty to 24 counts, including racketeering, wire fraud, attempted extortion and bribery.
“I feel great,” said Blagojevich, who denies any wrongdoing. “The truth shall set you free,” he told a well-wisher. South Carolina

There’s an alternative to cap and trade
Editor:
With cap and trade on hold, we should consider alternatives.
Cap and trade requires a bureaucracy to ensure that emissions really are offset by reforestation credits, etc. Speculators will also profit from the trading, and industries will probably also collude with politicians to manipulate the caps.
A 100 percent refundable carbon tax is a better alternative. Tax would be paid by all importer or producers and passed on to the consumers. The good news is refunds. Each taxpayer would get a monthly payment equal to his share of the taxes collected. All consumers would pay higher prices for fuel and energy. Greener consumers will have a net gain, while those using more energy will have net monthly payments. Distaste for paying taxes will surely focus attention on energy conservation.
Administrative costs would be small. Only monthly production figures would need to be verified. Payments could be made by IRS directly to debit cards. Tax rate could be adjusted as needed to limit CO2 generation.
An even better alternative may be to refund less than 100 percent and use the remainder of the tax collected for training/relocation of miners laid off as coal production inevitably declines.

Rahall champions our heritage
Editor:
Rep. Nick Rahall has done something very good for West Virginia history.
He has established an annuity, guaranteed funding, for restoration and preservation of West Virginia’s historic places in the Consolidated Land, Energy and Aquatic Resources (CLEAR) Act (HR 3534) that his Natural Resources Committee has approved and sent to the House of Representatives. (The CLEAR Act is a comprehensive energy reform bill that includes historic preservation and land conservation provisions.)
While the Historic Preservation Fund was created in 1976, Rep. Rahall has made sure the money would flow automatically, as originally intended, from the fund to historic places.
Don’t take your project to the preservation office in the Division of Culture and History quite yet. The bill has to pass the House and the Senate.
Do thank Chairman Rahall for championing our heritage and history.

Nelson Jones made a difference
Editor:
Not many can claim to have made a major contribution to their community before they reached the ripe old age of 16. But Nelson Jones did!
When he came to City Hall in the summer of 1971 with the idea of initiating a sternwheeler boat race, he set in motion what became the Sternwheel Regatta, an event to which fellow citizens from many states looked forward to every Labor Day weekend.
Those of us who lived here during those years still share happy memories of an event that grew from a short weekend to a 10-day end of summer celebration.
Charleston will miss Nelson Jones – but Nelson, my friend, we remember. Our thoughts and love go out to your family. Thank you, Nelson.

Tenrox Becomes the First Cloud-Based Project Management Solution Provider to Achieve ISO 27001 and SAS 70 Type II Certifications
Business Wire, July 27, 2010
Highly respected certifications recognize Tenrox On-Demand as a world
class service that is compliant with International Information Security,
Change Management and Auditing Standards
GLENDALE, Calif. — Tenrox, the leading cloud-based project management software for todays
globally dispersed project workforce, today announced that it has
received ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certification (International Standards
Organization). The cloud-based project management solution provider is
the only company in its market to obtain both ISO 27001 and SAS 70
certifications.
Tenrox on-demand center for project management software solutions was
awarded ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certification by British Standards Institute
(BSI), one of the worlds premier management systems registrars. This
certification demonstrates the investments Tenrox has made in
Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) to protect its customers
business critical information.
In attaining ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certification, Tenrox has undergone a
significant security audit and change management control process meeting
the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) requirements
for operating an Information Security Management System (ISMS). ISMS is
a complete set of management practices and processes that work together
to preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. The
certification further acknowledges Tenrox’s commitment and ability to
protect its customers’ data, and the general security and reliability of
the Software-as-a-Service model for deploying project management
software solutions.
Global 2000 organizations expect ongoing assurances that their data is
not at risk in order to help comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Sarbanes-Oxley requires companies to develop an information security
management system and effective internal controls that are integrated,
comprehensive, and incorporate widely recognized best practices. ISO
27001 is a step toward demonstrating compliance with this legislation.
Small to medium sized businesses have similar expectations and
requirements for data security and change controls when they look to the
cloud for managing any business critical information.
Our customers do not view their SaaS investment as a way to get a
cheaper and less capable outsourced IT service offering, our goal as a
leading cloud-based project management solution provider is to offer a
solution and service that would be prohibitively expensive and very hard
if not impossible to replicate in an on-premise IT shop, said Rudolf
Melik, CEO of Tenrox. Now that Tenrox has achieved both ISO 27001 and
SAS 70 certifications combined with our 99.9% up time and Web
application acceleration investments, we can confidently state that
Tenrox offers the most secure, globally accessible world class
cloud-based project management software that is in compliance with the
industrys most stringent security and change management standards.
About ISO 27001
The International Standards Organization (ISO) creates stringent and
rigorous standards that specify worldwide requirements for products,
services, processes, materials, and systems. ISO 27001 is the new
international standard created specifically for Information Security
Management Systems (ISMS)
