Beware the Crabtree Curse! San Francisco opened the season 3-1, with its sole loss to powerhouse Minnesota on the game's final snap. Since signing Michael Crabtree, San Francisco has lost four straight -- the Niners just rolled over at home against the Titans, who came into the contest 1-6. Coach Mike Singletary had San Francisco's players buying into the notion that no one's bigger than the team. Then, suddenly, you can jerk San Francisco around all you want and get $17 million guaranteed as your reward. San Francisco management's cave-in to the me-first Crabtree triggered an instant losing streak, by communicating to other 49ers the message that the team-first stuff was always just empty talk. Caving in to Crabtree may cost the Niners their season.

White Eagle (Europe) Plc, a leading global prepaid solutions provider today announces the launch of the GO: Prepaid MasterCard - a general spend card which is loaded directly with Government benefits.
The GO: Prepaid MasterCard is a flexible, re-loadable prepaid card with chip and PIN security which can also be used for free and instant money share with the addition of a Companion Card.
The card programme was made possible with the technical expertise of White Eagle. Philippe Hardy, UK Sales Director of White Eagle comments: “Go Money’s professional and entrepreneurial approach will make this card programme a huge success. They have thought through what their customers want out of a Prepaid card and have made the process simple and good value with great benefits to their customer to give them financial inclusion.”
The White Eagle platform allows the users of this card to retrieve their PIN over an IVR (interactive voice recognition) solution, activate their card, check their balance, lock and unlock their card any time via their mobile phones using SMS.
Steve Tobin, Director of Go Money commented,“We are all very excited at GO: Card because we feel that we have the card to really facilitate increased levels of previously financial excluded customers who will have greater card functionality than they are at present afforded. The prepaid industry has only scratched the surface of its intrinsic and emerging capabilities and we see it simply as “the” tool to enable financial inclusion throughout the UK for customers in receipt of benefit and low wages who couldn’t until now obtain a prepaid card through the usual channels or even a basic bank account with MasterCard/Visa functionality.”

Tony Romo threw a 49-yard TD pass to Austin midway through the fourth quarter and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Eagles 20-16 Sunday night in the 100th meeting between the division rivals.
On the final day of the 2008 regular season, the Eagles dominated Dallas 44-6 in a do-or-die game for both teams. Philadelphia earned a wild-card berth with that victory, won two playoff contests on the road and advanced to the NFC title game, losing at Arizona.
The Cowboys (6-2) spent the whole offseason thinking about that horrendous ending. They got their revenge and took over sole possession of first place in the NFC East with their fourth straight victory.
“Our last loss against them really motivated us to come out and play good,” Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware said.
The Eagles fell to 5-3 and the New York Giants are 5-4 after a 5-0 start.
Romo finished 21 of 34 for 307 yards with one TD and one interception.
“We executed,” Romo said. “I think the coaches put together a good plan. You just have to keep fighting and getting better.”
Donovan McNabb was shaky after a strong performance in a 40-17 rout of the Giants last week. McNabb threw for 227 yards, one TD and was intercepted twice for the first time this season.
“We have to eliminate mistakes,” McNabb said.
The Cowboys began their go-ahead drive after stopping McNabb on fourth-and-inches at their 45. The Eagles challenged, but a replay upheld the original spot.
Notes: The Cowboys lead the series 56-44. … Williams had five catches for 75 yards. … McCoy finished with 115 total yards — 61 receiving and 54 rushing. … Michael Vick ran for two yards and handed off on his only two plays. McNabb went to the sideline when Vick entered.

“I gave them a little pump,” Romo said. “I thought they’d been jumping it a little and they went for it.”
Austin leads the Cowboys with seven TD catches, three fewer than Terrell Owens had last season. Unlike T.O., Austin only gives defenses headaches instead of his QB.
“I made sure I caught it first,” Austin said of his only reception in the game. “A bunch of the guys were making fun of me because I took so long to see it in my hands.”
David Akers kicked a 52-yard field goal to cut it to 20-16, but the Eagles never got the ball back. The Cowboys maintained possession the final 4:27.
“I thought we could hold them, get the ball back and win the game,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said.
Trailing 10-6, the Eagles seemingly went ahead when Ellis Hobbs returned the second-half kickoff 96 yards for a score. But a holding call on Moise Fokou nullified the TD.
No matter, McNabb drove Philadelphia 77 yards for the go-ahead score.
LeSean McCoy turned a short pass into a 45-yard gain. One play later, McNabb escaped the rush and found Brent Celek in the corner of the end zone to put Philadelphia ahead 13-10.
On Dallas’ ensuing possession, Brown intercepted Romo’s off-target pass to Jason Witten and returned it 54 yards. An illegal block by Fokou negated the return to the Cowboys 35, and the Eagles’ drive stalled near midfield after starting at their 12.
Mike Jenkins intercepted McNabb to set up Nick Folk’s tying 33-yard field goal 8 seconds into the fourth quarter.
Gerald Sensabaugh’s interception on Philadelphia’s first possession ended McNabb’s streak of 118 straight passes without a pick. McNabb’s pass on third-and-5 to a wide-open Jeremy Maclin hit him in the hands and bounced to Sensabaugh.
Six plays later, Tashard Choice ran in from the 2 after taking a shotgun snap with Romo lined up wide to the right. Romo completed two third-down passes to keep the drive going, including a 21-yard gain to Kevin Ogletree on third-and-9.

Romo tossed a 64-yard catch-and-run pass to Patrick Crayton late in the second quarter to set up Folk’s 22-yard field goal that made it 10-6. Tracy White made a diving, TD-saving tackle to trip up Crayton.
Akers kicked a 45-yard field goal early in the second quarter to put the Eagles on the board. He nailed a 48-yarder late in the quarter to cut it to 7-6.
The Eagles played without star running back Brian Westbrook for the second straight game because of a concussion and strongside linebacker Chris Gocong sat out with hamstring and quad injuries. Fokou, a seventh-round pick, made his first start in Gocong’s place.
Westbrook was expected to play, but he started experiencing symptoms of a mild headache on Friday. Westbrook then underwent more tests and the Eagles held him out as a precaution. McCoy started for Westbrook.
The Cowboys held receiver DeSean Jackson to just two catches. Jackson has six TDs this season, all for 50-plus yards. He has four TD catches and he’s scored on a run and a punt return.
“We didn’t let him get behind us,” Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. “Both our corners played well.”

At the last meetup a few of you were asking me about my Mark Sanchez jersey. I told you I'd post a link to the site where I bought it, and I forgot to do it... Sorry! So without further ado:
If you are finally looking to upgrade your Browing Nagle jersey to a Mark Sanchez jersey, but don't want to spend $80 for a screen printed ripoff from Modell's, my advice is to visit NFL Jerseys Shop.
I've purchased 4 jerseys from this place in the last 2 years for myself or for gifts (P.Manning, S.Smith, 2 M.Sanchez) and they are really very high quality and inexpensive, currently $46. If you've been to a meet up, then you can check out my white Sanchez jersey. It is an authentic Reebok jersey with all the numbers and patches sewn on (not screen printed), and comes new with all the tags.
They charge free for shipping, so I think they are a great company to buy from...
The one thing, though, is that they do not stock a lot of players per team. They usually pick up quantity only in the hot selling jerseys, so this year its been Sanchez. Last year it was Favre and Gholston.
Their shop website is: http://www.sell-nfl.com .

Choosing the right webhosting company could sometimes equate to finding a needle in a haystack. With an astronomical number of web hosting companies out there, the entire process of finding a good web host can prove to be a daunting task. We have collated a list of frequently asked questions by web masters as these concerns and issues may be faced by many web masters who are on the look out for a quality and professional web hosting company.

Q. What control panel should I look for in a web hosting company?

A. Every hosting package comes outfitted with some type of control panel, which allows the user to configure their hosting packages as well as fine tune various settings of their hosting account. Typically, a control panel should be accessible through a secure web page. The most commonly used control panels include Helm, Cpanel, Hsphere, Plesk, and Ensim. The most common is Cpanel, which only runs on Linux. Most beginners and other users would be more suited to Cpanel, as it runs on the cheaper platform of Linux.

Q. What about a POP3 account?

A. If you require sending and receiving of emails, POP3 accounts naturally become a significant component of your hosting account. You will need enough POP3 accounts for the amount of email addresses that you wish to assign to other people. Many web hosts would readily offer their customers "unlimited POP3 accounts".

Hosting coupons blog is dedicated to providing regularly updated web hosting coupons, offers, deals, webhost discounts, hosting rebates and exclusive promotions from the hostgator coupon companies - webcalendar hosting, free web hosting and domain web hosting services

A. The level and quality of security offered by web hosts would of course vary. These could include auto responders, spam filters, even anti virus protection. These features are usually included within the hosting package and do not come at any additional costs. Ensure that your host is offering you maple flexibility if you would want to include any additional features and tools within a given package.

Q. What should I look for in a hosting plan if I plan to run my own online store?

A. For running an online store, the web master would first and foremost require an SSL certificate for their website. This is required to process all online credit card transactions. This essentially comprises of a third party that takes care of each and every transaction, for a small percent fee, thereby eliminating the need for added server security features or tools. You also need to ensure that the server as well as the software is capable of running the script you have for your shopping cart.

To conclude, it is best to go for a web host that offers quality services and hosting products, high-end technology, unsurpassed and prompt customer services, technical and customer support, affordability and flexibility. It is best to opt for a company that has been in the industry for a while and has garnered considerable credibility and reliability in the market among both customers and critics alike. With some amount of research and analysis, you would be well on your way to availing the benefits of a quality website hosting service.

Recently, I was training a room full of leaders at Microsoft (you know, the company that makes the software you’re probably using to read this email). On this particular visit, I was teaching them about “Developing Passionate Followers.” Microsoft dominates in an industry populated by the hyper-analytical and numerically inclined. So why would Microsoft hire Leadership IQ to address an issue as “soft and fuzzy” as developing passionate followers?

Here’s why: When employees are passionate about their job and their leader, they work better, faster and smarter. And you don’t have to be Bill Gates to realize that when employees are energized, they produce more work and better work with fewer errors.
What makes Microsoft so smart (and so enjoyable to work with) is that not only do they realize the value of having passionate employees, they also recognize the core truth about developing passionate followers: Policies don’t produce passionate employees, leaders do. You’ve probably heard the old adage “you join a company, but you quit a manager.” Well, that old adage is true. You can create all the policies and global initiatives you want, but ultimately an employee will only be truly passionate if they’re working for someone who inspires them.
So here’s the $64,000 question: How do you train leaders to inspire passionate followers?
I’m going to show you by giving you the 2 most important lessons from all of our years of teaching leaders how to develop passionate followers. Obviously we cover a lot more in our training courses than I can describe in an article like this, but if you can master these 2 lessons, you’ll be light-years ahead of your competitors.
Lesson #1: Distinguish between Management and Leadership
The first thing we need to clarify is the difference between management and leadership. In its simplest form, management is concerned with “getting the trains to run on time.” Management involves Defining the actions people need to take, Diagnosing whether they’re performing effectively, Developing them through effective feedback and then Reinforcing everything with robust accountability. Management lives in the realm of extrinsic motivation.
Leadership, by contrast, lives in the world of intrinsic motivation. Leadership involves Aspiration (giving people a sense that their work makes a difference in the world), Inspiration (instilling confidence that all challenges are surmountable), Stimulation (challenging people to exceed their own expectations) and Idealization (creating a bond of trust and respect between leaders and followers).
Management directs and improves what people do and how they do it. Leadership influences how passionate and inspired people feel about doing that work.
Distinguishing between management and leadership in this way should lead you to one inescapable conclusion: You need BOTH management and leadership to be successful. Executives that only employ management (without any leadership) are labeled as Marchers. They get the trains to run on time, but their people do it without passion (and without much loyalty). Executives that only employ leadership (without doing any management) are labeled as Dreamers. Their people are passionate, but they may not get the financial & operational results they need.
Executives that successfully perform BOTH management and leadership activities are Maestros. And this is the label you’re really aiming for. This is the executive that doesn’t need to coerce or bribe their people to get the trains to run on time, but rather does it by inspiring them and unleashing their inner passion.
When we train leaders on this topic, we always begin with an assessment that tells them whether they’re a Marcher, a Dreamer or a Maestro. Because depending on your particular challenge, and your unique mix of Marchers and Dreamers, you may need to customize your curriculum. If your challenge is getting employees to execute without excuses or better managing low performers, you need to develop management skills. If it’s developing more innovation or more passionate followers, you need leadership skills.
So my advice to you is this: Really think about what challenge you’re trying to address, and carefully decide whether you need more management or more leadership.
Lesson #2: Learn from Peak Experiences (Not Negative Experiences)
Because I’m writing about developing passionate followers, we’re really talking about leadership rather than management. And when you’re teaching leadership, it’s a good idea to give your lessons a positive frame (how can we do more of what went right) rather than a negative frame (what went wrong and how do we fix it). Just think about it: Can you really teach how to be inspiring when you’re asking people to spend all day wallowing in deeply negative issues?
When we’re training our numbers-driven Fortune 500 clients, where the managers have seen it all, done it all, and may be a little crusty and hardened from the experience, we’ve got to soften them up a bit. What that really means is that we need them to understand that this “soft leadership stuff” actually delivers bottom line value.
So here’s an exercise that we call Leadership Peak Experiences. This exercise gets people to recognize the profound bottom-line impact of great leadership, while at the same time helping them recognize that leadership is a definable and trainable set of skills.
To conduct this exercise, ask your managers to pair up and interview each other using the following 8 questions.
Leadership Peak Experiences Exercise
Remember a time from any period in your life that a leader (boss, teacher, mentor, friend, etc.) inspired you to achieve something that was both significant and difficult.
Vividly describe that experience (who was involved, when did it occur, where did it occur, what was the achievement, etc.)
Describe what made the achievement significant.
Describe what made the achievement difficult.
Imagine that naysayers were observing this situation. Describe the doubts that they might have expressed about your ability to achieve what you achieved.
Describe how the leader helped you overcome those doubts and difficulties.
What specifically did the leader do or say that inspired you? Be as specific as possible. (As a starting point, try to answer these questions: What words did they use, what did they teach you, how did they support you, how did they challenge you, how did they make you feel, etc.?)
What was it about your particular personality that made the leader’s words/actions so impactful?
Once you’ve completed the interviews and you debrief their conversations, your managers will make some significant discoveries. Here a just a few.
Leaders will recognize the powerful impact that a leader had on their performance. Just ask them whether they worked better, faster and harder because of this leader (the answer is always YES). You’ve now just demonstrated the business value of inspired employees.
Leaders will recognize the elegant simplicity of inspirational leadership. When you debrief the specific actions their leaders took to make them passionately tackle significant challenges, you will hear about some very repeatable techniques, like.
Listening in a way that communicates your understanding
Serving as a sounding board for employees without jumping in and taking over
Giving them targets that capture a “moral high ground”
Giving them “perfectly difficult” targets that weren’t doomed to failure or guaranteed to succeed
Eliminating certain dispiriting roadblocks
Leaders will recognize that anyone can elicit more passion from their employees. By learning from their peak experiences and dissecting what really made those experiences so powerful, they develop a roadmap to inspire their own employees.
Leaders will also recognize that they need to adapt their leadership techniques to certain types of employees. What worked to inspire them personally may not work to inspire someone else. And as they learn about why they responded in a particular way, they start to learn about how their employees will respond.
Once again, if we’re camped-out in your conference room training your leaders, we’ll be covering a lot more than I can put into an article like this. But Microsoft didn’t hire us to dryly recite an encyclopedia of leadership techniques. They hired us to transform how they think about leadership. Oh don’t worry, we gave them specific techniques. But before we could give them a toolbox of leadership techniques, we had to change their minds. And the 2 lessons I gave you above, will help you do just that.
Listen, we can teach leadership skills all day long (to any type or size organization). We can teach you how to speak to employees to inspire them, set inspirational goals, eliminate the demotivators that hold them back, and much more. That’s actually the easy part. The challenge that requires a little more work involves helping leaders understand the importance of passionate employees and recognizing that there are very specific actions that they can take to help their employees be more passionate.
Don’t ever let your leaders throw up their hands and say “we’ve got employees that just can’t be inspired” or “getting employees inspired is too hard” or “it’s too lofty a goal” or “I don’t have time.” It doesn’t take more time to inspire your folks. It just takes making some changes to the actions you’re already taking. You’re going to set goals for your employees. Why not just set more inspirational goals and communicate them in a more inspirational way? The net time required is exactly the same, but the results are exponentially better.

When so many people, that too of such high merit are to be involved in a conversation, the meetings need to be crisp and clear. Face to face meetings under such circumstances is highly impossible since it will eat up a lot of time and energy of all parties involved. Meetings through audio and video conferencing services work most effectively in a situation like this. With conference call meetings, the time involved in preparation can be avoided and the information can be exchanged at the earliest. Video and audio aids should be able to accomplish the communication required to be made in this case.

These audio and visual aids can also be used effectively for intra organization communication. For example, imminent release of quarterly corporate earnings can be best propagated through video, web and audio conferencing services, in this case web being the best mode.

Audio, video and web conferencing services provided by conference call service provider company help a lot in handling online meetings effectively.

Toll free conference calls are not free, but they are cheap and beneficial for business. Toll free calling is free for the consumers who call. The call charges incurred on making audio conference calls using these services should be paid by the business that is offering the service. However, it is a good idea to use this service since consumers know that they are not going to be charged for the call. This encourages them to make calls and inquire about products and services. By using the conferencing option, they can get more people from the company answering their queries simultaneously. This increases their confidence in the business which can in turn help boosts sales or to get more clients.


Toll free conference calls are inexpensive and convenient to use. There are different packages available in toll free audio conferencing. Small businesses generally do not involve many people in a conference call and for them, a three way calling feature that is embedded in most phone plans will be enough.

I like to educate people through the articles about the advantages of conferencing services like audio conferencing services, video conferencing services provided by conference call service provider company.

Web conferences use the internet as the medium of communication. with each passing day, the quality of internet and the technology of equipment used in these conferences is getting better. At the same time, the price is reducing. Plus, most people involved in business across the globe have access to the internet and are familiar with web conferencing. This made its usage increasingly popular. The various ways in which web conferences support business meetings are:

• Meeting among employees: web conference allows you to demonstrate, present and collaborate. All these qualities become important when a company outsources its business processes and employees of a company are spread across different parts of the world. All the data can be shared, collaborated and discuss through the web. It saves travel costs and time.

• Client meetings: face to face meetings are now passé and so getting an overseas client is not a financially burdening process. Most clients are comfortable communicating on the web and doing business on the web. This is convenient to the vendors as well as potential clients.
