...Useful Going that extra mile will label you as an asset: "It's time to become Mr. or Ms. Above and Beyond." Be a utility player who is capable of filling in anywhere, or be a specialist and razzle-dazzle your superiors...
That potent combination caught the attention of music mogul Alan McGee (who signed Primal Scream and Oasis, among others, to his former label) when he saw Glasvegas playing third on the bill at Glasgow's tiny King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in 2006. "The night was more exciting to me than when I saw and signed Oasis at the same venue," McGee wrote on his blog for the Guardian. Lisa Marie Presley was inspired to seek out the band in Scotland last year after hearing their demo online. By this June, influential British music magazine...

Already Rush Limbaugh and James Dobson are unhappy...
...from Iraqi cities and towns, and December 31, 2011, for the withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces from the country. But Bush Administration officials, having been burned repeatedly since launching the invasion for brandishing overly optimistic predictions, now seem allergic to setting such precise deadlines. They instead prefer to label them "aspirational time horizons." Given its track record at predicting the course of events in Iraq since March 18, 2003, that's probably wise...
