Sit, Relax, Read and Find Out What You've Missed.

By Katherine Bonfante, Managing Editor, Digital Media

Don't you hate it when your Tivo or DVR stops working, and your favorite TV shows don't get recorded? You go on vacation or work late, and come back to find your favorite episodes have vanished.
Sometimes this happens with websites too. You get caught up with the nice weather outside, the cook-outs, exercising, walking your pet. Time passes and you miss good stuff on your favorite sites, such as ControlGlobal.com.

Well, don't worry. I'm here to catch you up.

First, if a new job is on your mind, stop by Control Connections (http://jobs.controlglobal.com). This month we launched our very own jobs newsletter. Sign up to receive it, and you'll get monthly listings of the latest industry career opportunities. Check our first jobs newsletter at www.controlglobal.com/ControlJobCentral.html.

Also, ControlGlobal.com has opened a sustainability portal, where you can read white papers and articles, listen to podcasts, and watch online videos. These resources can help you define and understand sustainability for the process industries. Go to www.controlglobal.com/knowledge_centers/sustainability.html.
