'If you sign up for insurance by the end of March, you will not face a penalty,' the White House said late Wednesday. Originally, the Obamacare law had been interpreted as giving people until Feb. 15, 2014, to have health coverage. Calls mount, including by Democrats, to give folks more time. The Obama administration has clarified the deadline by which Americans must sign up for health insurance to avoid paying a penalty. That deadline is in fact March 31, not Feb. 15,  according to guidance released by the White House Wednesday night. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), or “Obamacare,” allows Americans to be uninsured for three consecutive months in a calendar year without penalty. The individual mandate to buy insurance begins on Jan. 1, 2014, which means an individual can go without insurance through March 31, 2014, and not pay a fine. Originally, the law was interpreted to mean that a person had to have coverage in effect by March 31. In the health-insurance exchanges –

Okay – time to dive into the topic. My thoughts on the topic of modesty begin with the fact that the word modesty no longer communicates what it meant a hundred years ago and earlier. There are shades of the original meaning still lingering, but for the most part the original meaning is lost in our current understanding of that word. Modesty: 1531, "freedom from exaggeration, self-control," from M.Fr. modestie , from L. modestia "moderation," from modestus "moderate, keeping measure, sober," from modus "measure, manner." Meaning "having a moderate opinion of oneself" is from 1553. Modest (adj.) is first recorded 1565. Modern Language Association: Online Etymology Dictionary. Douglas Harper, Historian. 14 Mar. 2008. When the topic of modesty comes up in a youth group or a women’s bible study or a picnic table conversation, everyone’s thoughts immediately turn to clothing. This is somewhat odd since we still understand t

“I’ve been in this field for more than 30 years,” said co-anchor of Today Ann Curry . “I’ve heard a lot of stereotypes.” Women continue climbing the rungs of power—building their ranks as heads of state, corporate leaders and media influencers—but their minority status means they still face harsh, limiting assessments based on their gender . “Women are being judged more, even by other women,” said Valerie Young, Ed.D., author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women . While male leaders are allowed to have complex personalities, powerful women are often summed up by hackneyed stereotypes that undermine them and their power.

Everyone knows right from wrong. Right? Wrong. People disagree about the definition of right and wrong all the time. That is why the topic of business ethics is currently front and center in the media and in office break rooms. When daily, the next Enron, Arthur Andersen, or WorldCom story hits the wires, it's difficult to ignore business ethics as an issue. And, as our world becomes more complex, sometimes the right answer, the one that meets the needs of the most stakeholders: employees, customers, potential employees, shareholders, and board members, lies somewhere in the middle. Business Ethics Challenges Think about these business ethics scenarios that happen in organizations every day. An employee surfs the Internet shopping for personal items on company time. A plant manager decides to ship product to a customer even though he knows the parts have a quality problem because the problem doesn't affect part function and the customer probably won't notice.

Here are twelve more tips about how to become a learning organization. Build individual development plans quarterly. These should list negotiated expectations for growth and learning over the quarter. These plans may include cross-training, skill stretching assignments, and representing the department at organization-wide meetings, as well as education. Put each person directly into contact with customers. When each individual personally knows customer needs, she is enabled to make better decisions to satisfy the customer. Remember also, the internal customers. Anyone to whom you provide a product or a service is a customer. Promote field trips to other organizations. Even organizations in different industries can provide opportunities for learning. See and learn what others are doing about the challenges you experience in your organization. I have found non-competing companies surprisingly gracious about sharing information. Meet regularly across departments, or in a small
