CESUES BUSINESS ENGLISH 2 SUMMER Wal-Mart Stores reclaimed its status as the nation's largest company in 2007 -- from Exxon Mobil -- but that barely begins to describe its place in the American public imagination. The discount chain, started by Sam Walton in 1962, has become a central figure in scores of social, economic and political debates, from health care to immigration to gun control. Supporters contend that the chain's legendary low prices have democratized consumption, allowing low-income households to afford flat-screen televisions and nine-layer lasagna. Critics say those low prices have depressed domestic wages and exported manufacturing jobs to foreign countries, hurting Americans more than helping them. All of which has made Wal-Mart the most scrutinized business in the country. Running the retailer, its chief executive, H. Lee Scott, told The New York Times, is "like running for president of the United States." And that has been tough for business. Over the last year, opposition from unions, community banks, elected leaders and environmentalists has prevented Wal-Mart from entering several urban areas, its last frontier for new stores. Even so, the company's sales and profits have reached record levels. In 2006, it sold $350 billion worth of merchandise, four times more than its next biggest rival, Home Depot, and it earned $12 billion in profit. Even after stumbling in Germany and South Korea, the chain is growing rapidly abroad, in countries like Mexico, China and Brazil. Wal-Mart's recent public relation's record is decidedly mixed: a commitment to make sweeping reductions in energy use and greenhouse emissions has won plaudits from environmentalists. And a new health care plan, with shorter waiting period before a new employee is eligible and lower premiums, has impressed critics. But its own employees have repeatedly embarrassed the company. Wal-Mart has asserted that two top advertising executives violated company policies by conducting a sexual affair and accepting gifts from a potential vendor. The pair deny those claims. And a computer technician taped phone calls between Wal-Mart public relations officials and a reporter for The New York Times. -- Michael Barbaro, April 25, 2007 1.

También se dice que la administración de proyectos ocurre cuando se da un énfasis y una atención especial para conducir actividades no repetitivas con el propósito de lograr un conjunto de metas. Esta actividad es llevada a cabo por un conjunto de administradores que actúan como agentes unificadores para proyectos particulares, tomando en cuenta los recursos existentes, tales como el tiempo, materiales, capital, recursos humanos y tecnología. write an essay PARIS, France (Reuters) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday pledged tougher treatment for sex offenders following a scandal over a convicted pedophile suspected of raping a 5-year-old boy shortly after his release from prison. Police said Francis Evrard, a 61-year-old repeat offender who spent 18 years in prison for raping children before being freed on July 2, snatched the boy from a street in the northern town of Roubaix on Wednesday. The pair were discovered later that day partly clothed in a garage used by Evrard. He said he had been prescribed the anti-impotence drug Viagra while in prison, and officers found a packet of the pills in his pocket. Sarkozy said Evrard should not have been released so long before the end of his 27-year sentence when the authorities knew he was still dangerous. New rules would be introduced to ensure such situations did not arise in future, he added. "We cannot leave free predators, sick people, people who can kill and destroy children's lives," Sarkozy told reporters after meeting the boy's father and grandfather at the presidential Elysee Palace. The case has won widespread media coverage and reignited a debate about repeat offenders just weeks after a new criminal law, which had been pledged by Sarkozy, introduced tougher sentences. "A prisoner like Mr Evrard will not be able to leave prison solely because he has served his sentence," Sarkozy said. "Prisoners of this type, at the end of their sentence, will be examined by a panel of doctors, and if this college of doctors recognizes that they are dangerous, they will not be released. They will go to a closed hospital, where they will be treated," Sarkozy added. Those who did not accept treatment would stay in the hospital as long as they were considered dangerous, he said. Those who accepted treatment, such as hormonal therapy, would be allowed to leave the hospital with an electronic tag. The measures would be part of a bill on sentencing planned for November, Sarkozy said, and a raft of measures aimed at improving treatment for psychologically ill prisoners was also in the works. The first "closed hospital" dedicated to dealing with pedophiles would open in the eastern city of Lyon in 2009, Sarkozy said. Another establishment would be set up for psychologically ill inmates. The boy's father, Mustapha Kocakurt, told reporters after his meeting with Sarkozy that if a prison doctor had prescribed Viagra he shared the blame. "If he gave him that, he should be locked up because at the end of the day he fed him in prison. He let him loose afterwards like a wildcat so he could feed himself," he said. Sarkozy said the case was a "disaster" but added that an investigation was underway into whether the drug was prescribed.

Our sales have dropped 40 percent in the last six months. Though we do not expect this to be a long-term concern for our business, we don't expect sales to return to normal until the summer when our patio opens for the tourist season. Due to the loss in business we regret to inform you that we are laying-off all of our hosts and hostesses for the winter and spring. With business being so slow our servers can handle the task of greeting and seating customers on their own. You are entitled to two week's severence pay, which will be paid in full on your next paycheck. Please come in for any scheduled shifts next week. Thank you for your hard work and dedication at Pino's Pizzaria. Please apply again for our next summer season.
