All RPG fans and old Diablo II players would find a lot of enjoyment in playing Diablo III. Since there is no monthly subscription and you can play online with friends this game is worth your time and effort if you have friends to play with.
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
One of the most anticipated games of the decade came out towards the middle of last year and drew in many gamers to once again join forces to take down Diablo. The sequel to Diablo II was met with disappointment after being delayed for so many years, yet this is not a game that should be overlooked. There are many reasons why this game was met with big disappointment, the biggest being the lack of options available other than acquiring gear to defeat Diablo on the hardest difficulty.
The greatest thing about Diablo III is that you do not have to pay for a monthly subscription. This game is fun when you venture with friends and level together to take on the minions of hell. The game can be a bit difficult if you play alone but if you have an ally or two then you should have an easy time getting through the game.
The graphics are amongst the best that the PC world has to offer. When the game goes to a cutscene you will surely be impressed by the facial expressions and how real the characters look when they move. The sound is great as well, if you have a bass then it is going to be put to good use while you play this game. The soundtrack is an instant classic and will keep you motivated to play throughout your journey.
The lack of player versus player function thus far for Diablo III is what is making the game less appealing. Upon the game's initial launch there was little to do other than level, get good gear and sell items via the auction house. Soon after the release of the game the Paragon leveling system helped players who had reached level 60 gain stats and increase their ability to find magical items after each Paragon level they acquired. Although this was a good addition to give players a sense of accomplishment every time they played there was still something lacking from Diablo III.
Released at the end of January this year Diablo III finally saw the addition of dueling. Now you can fight a friend or some of your friends in combat to see who is the best Nephalem. This makes the game have a lot more replay value and makes it worthwhile to invest into acquiring items either out in the field or through the auction house. If it weren't for this addition to the game Diablo III would not have a lot of replay value.
All RPG fans and old Diablo II players would find a lot of enjoyment in playing Diablo III. Since there is no monthly subscription and you can play online with friends this game is worth your time and effort if you have friends to play with. Keep in mind defeating Diablo on the hardest difficulty is no easy accomplishment. The minions of hell and Diablo are tough and only the best gamers will find themselves triumphant in the end.

Western Sydney Wanderers have capped off a week to forget for Adelaide United and interim coach Michael Valkanis by trouncing the Reds 4-2.
Western Sydney Wanderers have capped off a week to forget for Adelaide United and interim coach Michael Valkanis by trouncing the Reds 4-2 at Hindmarsh Stadium on Sunday night.
The Hindmarsh crowd looked in for a rough evening when the tepid affair produced only two attempts on goal for either side in the opening 20 minutes, but that all changed just prior to half-time when the Wanderers scored two in two minutes courtesy of Youssouf Hersi and Mark Bridge.
Hersi's scintillating performance was heightened shortly after the break when he doubled his account before United striker Bruce Djite came off the bench to pull a goal back.
The Wanderers put the game to bed minutes later via Mateo Poljak's clever finish although the hosts managed to score a second when winger Iain Ramsay popped up with his fourth goal of the season.
Sloppy play and errors riddled the encounter early before Hersi almost opened the scoring in the 22nd minute only to blaze his shot over the bar following a crafty one-two with Bridge.
The visitors had the momentum and were quick to test United captain Eugene Galekovic again when Aaron Mooy forced the gloveman to parry away his thundering 30-yard free-kick.
The Wanderers' pressure was relentless and they were unlucky not to take the lead on 27 minutes when Shinji Ono's header looked goal-bound until Reds defender Daniel Bowles intervened.
Against the run of play, the hosts finally had a shot on goal in the 32nd minute when Evan Kostopoulos fed Ramsay into the box, but the winger scuffed his effort wide.
Western Sydney hit back following Adelaide's near miss when the influential Hersi combined again with Bridge to cause panic in United's area.
Bridge collected Hersi's neat pass inside the box and managed to square to Dino Kresinger, but the Croatian skied his point-blank shot.
The Wanderers eventually made their dominance count on 43 minutes when Hersi capitalised on a game of pinball in Adelaide's box.
Shannon Cole's floated cross found Bridge at the back post who cut the ball across to Mooy whose first-time shot was blocked amidst numerous challenges flying in with the Reds unable to clear the danger.
Mooy had a second bite when the ball dropped to his feet but Galekovic pulled off an incredible save to deny the midfielder, but only in vain, as Hersi drove the ball home from a difficult angle.
United barely had time to regroup when Western Sydney struck again 60 seconds later as half-time approached.
The menacing Hersi was released down the right-wing where the former FC Twente star had time to spot the unmarked Bridge who fired high into the net after holding his run.
Hersi was a handful for United's back four as the Dutchman went close twice after the restart.
The 30-year-old would not be denied a third time and in the 52nd minute he finished a stunning passage of play to extend the Wanderers' advantage.
Ono cruised forward and threaded in Bridge with a delightful through ball before the latter whipped a ball across to Hersi who nodded in on the line for his second.
Adelaide looked done and dusted until Jon McKain's back post header from Dario Vidosic's corner which produced a great save from Western Sydney custodian Ante Covic, brought the crowd to life.
The Reds were spirited with the vocal home support and reduced the deficit on the hour mark when Djite drifted on the outskirts of the box before firing across his body into the opposite corner of the net.
It was only momentary respite however, when Poljak replenished the Wanderers' three-goal advantage in the 68th minute following a mix up between Galekovic and Nigel Boogaard.
The pair's mistake resulted in the visitors crossing into the danger area where Bridge miss-kicked only for the ball to fall to Poljak who intelligently feigned to shoot before driving past Galekovic.
Ramsay grabbed a consolation for United deep in the game.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Make the Pie Dough: In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, and salt and mix to combine. Add the butter and continue mixing until the mixture holds together when you clump it, and there are pecan-sized lumps of butter still visible.
Meanwhile, whisk together the yolks and milk in small bowl.
Add the yolk mixture to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap well and store in the refrigerator for several hours. (The dough will keep for several days in the fridge and several weeks in the freezer.)
Make the Almond Cream: In the standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add almond flour and mix until just combined. Add eggs and mix until combined. Add flour, vanilla, and salt and mix. Store covered in refrigerator for up to a week.
Make the Roasted Pears: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the pears with the ginger in a roasting pan and arrange them in a single layer. Sprinkle the sugar on top and dot with the butter. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool. (Store covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
Assemble the Crostata: Using half of the pie dough (reserve half for another use), roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface into a circle about 12 to 14 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a lightly buttered baking sheet.
Using a spatula, spread a circle of almond cream about 8 inches in diameter in the center of the dough (use about 1/2 cup of the almond cream). Arrange the pears in concentric circles in 2 layers on top of almond cream circle. Sprinkle the cranberries on top of the pears. Fold the edges of the dough in, slightly covering the pears, to form a free-form tart. Brush with the beaten egg and bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, let cool, and serve.

The Lakers lost another game by double-digit margins, experienced never-ending injuries and offered non-existent offense. But Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni scoffed at any mention that the Lakers' struggles prompted their fans to feel discouraged.
"If they're discouraged, then find another team to root for," D'Antoni said in an agitated tone after the Lakers' 117-90 loss Monday to the Phoenix Suns at U.S. Airways Center. "We're not going to give up. Are you kidding me? Discouraged? That's not even fair to these guys."
Plenty of Laker fans expressed on Twitter and in the comments section of Lakers-related articles that D'Antoni's comments weren't fair to them, either. But following Tuesday's practice, D'Antoni apologized and called himself a name plenty of Laker fans had done already.
"I was an idiot last night. I was out of my mind," D'Antoni said Tuesday in preparation for the Christmas Day game between the Lakers (13-15) against the Miami Heat (21-6) at Staples Center. "I was ticked off. We didn't play well. I thought it was a game we could've won and we didn't do it. So I said some stuff. That's me. I just made a mistake."
Instead of telling Laker fans to root for another team, D'Antoni has now asked for them to stay.
"To me, the meaning is this: We have a team that needs to overachieve, we have a lot of injuries and we're in a tough state right now," D'Antoni said. "We need everybody to be pulling with us. It's going to take a whole village to get this done. I just said it wrong. It came out wrong because I was agitated. I apologize and we'll move on. We need everybody to be behind these guys. They're going to play as hard as they can play."
Farmar returns
Jordan Farmar will play in the Lakers-Heat game, a nice stocking stuffer after staying sidelined for the past 10 games because of a stained left hamstring. An ultrasound Tuesday showed that his injury fully healed.
For the past seven games, the Lakers have played without a traditional point guard. They first assigned the duties to a previously healthy Kobe Bryant. Following his injury, the Lakers split those responsibilities to Xavier Henry, Jodie Meeks and Nick Young, all whom never played the position during their NBA careers.
"I just noticed without somebody taking control, there was no sense of purpose," said Farmar, who averaged 9.2 points and 4.4 assists in 18.9 minutes per game. "There was just random basketball they were playing."
D'Antoni will likely play Farmar more minutes as the team's starting point guard considering the absences of Bryant (left knee), Steve Nash (back) and Steve Blake (hyperextended elbow). But D'Antoni said Farmar will play in short bursts so he can catch up on his conditioning.
"I understand the philosophy behind it. They don't want me to get tired," Farmar said. "They don't want my legs to be fatigued. It's hard at the end of the game. Just play through it. Hopefully it won't be too big of a problem. We'll have a dialogue in how I feel and we'll go from there."
He said it
Nick Young on what he'd get former Laker and Time Warner SportsNet analyst James Worthy for Christmas: "Rogaine."

Amidst accounts of private firms in power and telecom business coming under scrutiny of CAG, industry body Ficci said there is "no place for CAG interfering into a private company's books" as the official auditor was set up to examine accounts of government firms.
"As far as audit through CAG is concerned, we believe the CAG was constituted to be answerable to Parliament in respect of businesses which are owned by the government. So therefore to my mind, there is no place for CAG interfering into a private company's books," Ficci President Sidharth Birla said at a conference .
In a significant ruling, the Delhi High Court held that the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) can audit the accounts of private telecom operators under the relevant provisions of the law.
A bench of justices Pradeep Nandrajog and V Kameswar Rao permitted the top accounting body to conduct audit of private telecom companies under the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Act.
Besides, the Delhi Government has also warned private power distribution companies that their licences may be cancelled if they do not cooperate with the CAG which is scrutinising their finances.
Birla also called into question the efficacy of the UPA government's flagship National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), saying it had drawn people away from productive or industrial employment, leading to fall in capital assets.
"When NREGA was originally conceived and passed in Parliament, the expectation or the suggestion was that assets would be created. That has not happened," he said. Besides, industry body Ficci unveiled the Economic Agenda for long-term growth, with a focus on growth of enterprise and job creation.
"Accelerating investments in the industrial sector is central. There is a need to nurture and maintain a positive state of mind amongst existing and potential entrepreneurs. A healthy macro-environment is a precondition for higher investments," Birla said on the Economic Agenda. "Hard decisions are a must to keep the fiscal deficit under check.
Planned capital expenditure should not be compromised for revenue spending. A permanent solution lies in linking social spending to asset creation and skill building. Appropriate linkage of NREGA with productive work would meet inclusivity objectives, while adding to growth," Birla said.
Pointing out that in the current environment, decision making had totally slowed down, Birla said: "We must be seen as a nation inviting capital.
Clarity in policy formulation, certainty in legislative interpretation besides time-bound, transparent implementation of policies with minimal discretion is what business relentlessly seeks."

Walt Disney recounts stories from three periods in his childhood as period-inspired cut-outs animate on the stages of these toy theaters.
The first gallery in the Walt Disney Family Museum brings Walt's early years to life through images, artifacts, documents, and three self-playing animations. Each animation is framed and hung on the wall in the different zones of the gallery devoted to defining the periods and places of Walt's youth: Kansas City & Chicago, Chicago & Marceline, and France—the places he lived before heading to Hollywood. As Walt recounts episodes in his life, cut-out props, sets, characters and other elements animate across a stage evoking mechanically operated optical amusements of a bygone era. With sound effects and music behind their voices, the playful presentations help visitors vividly imagine some of the scenes that shaped one of the greatest storytellers of all time.

You are quite right, when using GbE channel bonding, IP fragments arrive out of order and initiates retransmits (TCP). Bottom line is that performance is worse than with one single channel. AFAIK it's not fixable with the current Linux IP stack.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) -- A special squad is targeting food stamp fraud in a southwest Ohio county.
The squad formed in July includes one full-time and one part-time Butler County sheriff's detectives, an assistant prosecutor and a county Job and Family Services employee. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the squad's investigations have led to 17 arrests and headed off nearly $200,000 in misspending.
Sheriff's Lt. Mike Craft says much fraud comes from drug users, who sell benefits cards to get cash for drugs.
With about one in seven Americans getting food aid after the Great Recession, authorities say it's important to make sure it's being used as intended.
The county investigations have caused 24 people to lose benefits.
State officials say every county has a food stamp fraud investigator, but not to Butler's extent.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Jerusalem's Temple Mount is a focal point of the upcoming holiday of Hannukah, as it is for many aspects of the Jewish faith. As such, Israeli lawmakers are insisting that Jews have freer access to the Temple Mount over the week-long festival.
"Just because some Muslims throw stones when Jews go up to the Temple Mount is not a reason to prevent them from going, as happened over Succot," Knesset Members Miri Regev (Likud), chairwoman of the Knesset Interior Committee, told police officials during a committee session on Monday.
Regev noted that "special arrangements are made for Muslim prayer [on the Temple Mount] during Ramadan and similar arrangements must be made for Jewish visits on Jewish holidays."
Jews and Christians are only permitted to visit the Temple Mount under severe restrictions. Despite it being the holiest site on earth to Jews and many Christians, they are forbidden from carrying Bibles or praying while inside the compound for fear of "inciting" Muslim violence.
Many times, the Temple Mount is simply closed to Jews and Christians all together if police feel there is even a chance that the Muslims could riot.
Arab Knesset Member Masud Gnaim (UAL-Ta'al) countered that the Temple Mount is "occupied territory" and is "holy [only] to hundreds of millions of Muslims and not to Jews."
Many Muslims have convinced themselves that the Jews have no historical connection to the Temple Mount and only try to visit the site today in order to complete their modern "conquest" of the Holy Land.

Assalamu'alaikum. I am very in love with my girlfriend, a Chinese non-muslim.We've been together for 5 years and planned to be wed soon. The problem is she is the eldest in her family and by tradition has to look after her parents who are non-muslim.I have tried to convert them to the islamic faith but they refused to submit to islam.As a muslim, i respect their decision but will i be doing a sin if they continued to livewith my girlfriend and I after we wed.I deeply love and respect them even though they rejected our religion as they are my girlfriend's parents. They however were understanding enough to not keep idols and dieties in the house after we wed but they love to eat pork (just like any other chinese) What am i supposed to do? My girlfriend doesn't eat pork anymore and she has submitted to islam willingly but she is concerned about changing her name as her parents want her to keep her original name(ie Wong Wan Pei). Can this be allowed?
All praise is due to Allah.
First of all, we praise Allah the most glorified that He guided this woman to Islam and that you are now allowed to marry her under Islamic law (shari'ah). May Allah the Almighty help you to remain firm toward your faith. Out of compassion and caring for your sake, please allow me to reproach a particular aspect of your question, which is that you did not indicate any regret on your part regarding the sinful and forbidden relationship of taking a girlfriend and continuing with her in a friendship that angers and displeases Allah regardless of the extent of that friendship.
Your question focused on a secondary issue regarding the ruling on changing one's name which is not as serious as what you have practiced for the past five years. Allah the most glorified has forbidden such an indecent relationship in the Qur'an (interpretation of the meaning, )
" not committing fornication, nor taking them as lovers (i.e. girlfriends) " (Al-Maa'ida, 5:5)
So, it is obligatory upon you to repent to Allah and to regret what has passed and to have the firm will not to return to the same action again, and to do good deeds and perform acts of worship to expiate the evils of that sin, and Allah is surely forgiving and merciful. (Please see also similar discussion of this issue in question #61)
As for your statement: "I deeply love my girlfriend's parents even though they rejected our religion," by Allah it is extremely astonishing how a Muslim man that believes in Allah and the last day can love people who are non-believers that don't believe in Allah and the last day and don't forbid what Allah forbids and don't practice the religion of truth and also refuse the religion of Islam??! Is this not a clear violation of Allah's statement in the Qur'an in surat al-Mujadlilah 58:22 (interpretation of the meaning):
"You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with and loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad- Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him), even if they are their fathers or their sons or their kindred "
We are not saying to you curse them or pick up arms against them; however, it is obligatory upon you to abhor them for their disbelief and their denial of the Lord of the worlds and to hate the invalid and untruthful religion that they are practicing. On the other hand, there is no objection for you to treat them with kindnesswhile disliking them in your heartand to be amicable towards them so that perhaps Allah will guide them through you. You will find no conflict or contradiction between these two ideas if you consider them carefully.
Furthermore, there is no objection to her parents living with you after marriage if they do not perform forbidden acts in the home (e.g., eating pork, drinking alcohol, etc.)
As for the question raised at the end of your letter regarding changing her name, the answer is: if the name of the person has a forbidden meaning, like the name of an idol or one of their deities or a name that means worshipping other than Allah, such as Abdul-Maseeh (worshipper of Jesus the messiah) or Abdul-Hussain (worshipper of Hussain) then it is mandatory to change it. However, if its meaning is permissable and not objectionable, e.g. if it means one of the colors such as red or green or a vocation like carpenter or baker, then it is OK and it is not obligatory to change it. If the original name does not comprise or imply anything forbidden in Islaam, then he or she is permitted to retain it (such as the name George, for example). As noted, though, it is preferable to change it to an Islaamic name, as this also distinguishes him or her from the kuffaar. However, if changing the name in official documents would cause the person much distress or harm, then it suffices to change it amongst his family and acquaintances.
Finally, I ask Allah to give you and this woman a halaal (lawful and good) and blissful life, full of imaan (faith) and taqwa (piety - God-fearing) and enriched with righteous posterity. All success is from Allah.

NFPA 99 Medical Air
Compressed Air Best Practices® interviewed Norman Davis, Jr., President of ENMET, LLC. Our products include medical verification instrumentation, compressed airline monitors, and single- and multi-gas detectors along with ambient air oxygen monitors. Many of these systems are designed to ensure compliance with NFPA 99 (National Fire Protection Agency) Medical Air Systems Guidelines and OSHA monitoring requirements for Grade D breathing air.
Compressed air is used in more than 70 percent of all manufacturing activities including supplying breathing air to personnel using supplied air respirators. Hazardous breathing conditions exist in many routine industrial operations, such as chemical manufacturing, hospitals, abrasive blasting, paint spraying, industrial cleaning, and arc welding. In these and other operations that introduce contaminants into the workplace, supplied-air respirators, air filtration systems and carbon monoxide monitors are frequently used for worker protection.
This article will examine in detail four of the five acceptable WAGD implementations under NFPA 99, along with some alternative ways they may be implemented. This article will not deal with passive implementations.
Large hospitals often use compressed air for important operational related end uses. The systems that produce this air need to supply clean and dry compressed air with a high level of reliability. These systems are not immune to efficiency problems as is the case for any compressed air system.
BSA LifeStructures is a full service architectural and engineering firm specializing in healthcare, higher education and technology facilities. We employ close to 260 associates and are established in two locations; Indianapolis and Chicago. Our strongest focus is on hospitals and university facilities.
Hazardous breathing conditions exist in routine industrial operations, such as hospitals, abrasive blasting, paint spraying, industrial cleaning, and arc welding. In these and other operations that introduce contaminants into the workplace, supplied-air respirators are frequently used for worker protection.
A good-size hospital with 200 beds and ten operating rooms can have a medical air system, a laboratory air system, and pneumatic air systems. The medical air systems must all follow the NFPA 99 guidelines. We follow these guidelines, from the beginning, when we assess the demand for air in a hospital.
The most abundant contaminant in any compressed air system is water. This can be in either liquid or vapour form. Atmospheric air is already very wet, and becomes saturated when compressed. This water vapour will condense when the temperature drops, after the compressor, and will damage air receivers, pipework and equipment. For this reason coalescing filters and then dryers are used to remove the bulk of this water.
In the U.S. as an example, the NFPA has taken the view that if your compressor draws in good clean ambient air, the air stays clean through the compressor, is then dried and filtered, when you deliver it to the patient it will be entirely satisfactory. After all, when you went into the hospital that's what you were breathing and when you leave you will breathe it again!
Located in the bowels of most hospitals, you will find the source of the Level 1 Medical Air compressed air system. Per the NFPA Section 99 Specification (National Fire Protection Association), Level 1 air compressor systems provide air for human consumption within the hospital facility.
The NFPA 99 (National Fire Protection Agency) Standard for Healthcare Facilities (2005 Edition) is the current Code by which Healthcare facilities in the U.S. design their compressed air systems. The NFPA 99 Standard covers many requirements for medical gases, with compressed air being just a component of the Standard.

Additive Structure of Multiplicative Subgroups of Fields and Galois Theory
One of the fundamental questions in current field theory, related to Grothendieck's conjecture of birational anabelian geometry, is the investigation of the precise relationship between the Galois theory of fields and the structure of the fields themselves. In this paper we initiate the classification of additive properties of multiplicative subgroups of fields containing all squares, using pro-$2$-Galois groups of nilpotency class at most $2$, and of exponent at most $4$. This work extends some powerful methods and techniques from formally real fields to general fields of characteristic not $2$.

One of the reasons that the Claremont Review of Books is my favorite magazine is that each issue constitutes a virtual education in politics. Another of the reasons is that the CRB wages intellectual battle on behalf of the founding principles of the United States. (Subscribe online here.) The editors of the CRB have made available a few of my favorite pieces from the just-publshed Fall issue.
One of the manifold pleasures of reading the CRB is its occasional demolition of the work of a liberal icon. Alan Dershowitz may not be a liberal icon anymore — his stalwart defense of Israel seems to have deprived him of that status — but he has earned the respect of many (myself included) for a certain kind of principled liberalism. In his new book, Professor Dershowitz attempts to set forth a philosophical account of the principles underlying his liberalism. It is this philosophoical account of his principles that comes in for demolition in the CRB review of Dershowitz's new book.
Professor Hadley Arkes reviews Dershowitz's Rights from Wrongs: A Secular Theory of the Origins of Rights: "The rights and wrongs of Alan Dershowitz." Professor Arkes generously reviews the book — generously in the Socratic sense. He points out to Professor Dershowitz with clarity and wit how badly he goes astray — as he does go astray — in trying — as he does try — to be moral in a (Dershowitzean) world where nothing is right or wrong. With Socratic generosity, Arkes invites Dershowitz to a moral and reasonable conversation, which Dershowitz can only refuse by being immoral and unreasonable.

While supply chain finance (SCF) programs are still relatively rare—only about 200 U.S. companies are thought to have them in place—such programs are gaining momentum in the wake of the financial crisis as companies seek to extend payment terms without putting suppliers at risk and, perhaps, even bolster their own income. A.J. Cederoth, CFO of Navistar International, a $13.9 billion manufacturer of heavy vehicles, says the company launched its SCF program this year as a way to strengthen its suppliers' working capital. The program also fine-tunes payment terms, allowing Lisle, Ill.-based Navistar to focus on product costs in negotiations with suppliers.
"We have our platform up and running, and we're working through the administrative and legal hurdles to bring more suppliers on board," Cederoth says, adding that Navistar expects significant increases in the number of suppliers using the platform, including those in Latin America. "I definitely think suppliers are more interested in SCF than even a year ago," he says.
Outdoor gear retailer Recreational Equipment (REI) is building a case to replace the sliding-scale discount program in its accounts payable platform with an automated SCF platform, though it has yet to choose a vendor to power it, says Russell Paquette, treasurer at the Kent, Wash., cooperative with $1.4 billion in 2011 revenue.
"SCF funding can help shore up temporary cash flow issues for the supplier while providing a discount to the buyer that, when annualized, eclipses what most cash-rich companies are able to earn on their short-term investments," Paquette says.
In fact, companies increasingly view payables strategies such as SCF as a way to generate returns either indirectly, by freeing up working capital through discounts that result in earlier payments, or directly, in the form of fees earned for providing payables information to third parties that then offer early-payment-for-discounts deals to the suppliers. Cash-rich companies benefit, since they can pay suppliers in return for discounts while avoiding the cut taken by intermediary lenders.
"Now for large corporations, SCF is used as a liquidity management tool to generate yield from extra cash on the balance sheet," says Shawn Taoufiki, director at REL Consulting.
In a "2/10 net 30" arrangement, for example, a supplier is paid in 10 days instead of 30 in return for giving the buyer a 2% discount. The buyer generates a 2% return on that sum over the remaining 20 days, which equates to a 36% annual rate of return.
"We advise our clients to take advantage of these early payment discount programs when feasible," says Michael Stitt, executive director of trade and supply chain sales at J.P. Morgan.
Larger retailers were the first to adopt SCF and now manufacturers are setting up programs, Stitt says. "We've seen five times the level of inquiry in the last year than the previous four years."
Robert Kramer, vice president of working capital solutions at PrimeRevenue, a bank-independent SCF provider, calls SCF early adopters the "visionary purchasers" because they crafted their own solutions from basic SCF systems. More recently, "pragmatists" want to buy a complete solution, often to support wide-ranging supplier initiatives, Kramer says.
Given the evolving cash management and risk management benefits of SCF, it's not surprising that providers of treasury solutions have entered the arena, once the domain of procurement. Kyriba, for example, launched an SCF module for its treasury workstation in the U.S. in March.
In traditional SCF arrangements involving lenders, the bank essentially purchases receivables from suppliers and assumes the risk that the buyer doesn't pay. Buyers can also enter SCF arrangements that extend payment terms much further out, freeing up working capital that can be put to more productive use.
Hanesbrands, for example, is piloting an SCF platform it built and expects to see an improvement of 40% in average days payable, says Donald Cook, treasurer of the Winston-Salem, N.C., apparel maker with $4.6 billion in 2011 revenue. Hanesbrands anticipates about 75% of its vendors will join the SCF program by year-end.
Cook says the automated platform integrates a U.S. bank and two large global banks, providing a financial solution for suppliers in the Americas, Asia and some Middle Eastern countries. "As all good treasury groups try to do, we're sharing the wallet with our different lending banks," he says.
A number of technology vendors, such as PrimeRevenue, Syncada, Ariba, Bottomline Technologies and Kyriba, include multiple banks on their SCF networks, which mitigates the risk from relying on a single bank and increases a program's capacity to finance payables.
"We've chosen to go with a technology vendor and multiple lenders so we have diversity of funding," says Navistar's Cederoth, which uses PrimeRevenue. "We've found that suppliers prefer the technology vendors' platforms because they're more user-friendly."
Even multinational banks may run into capacity issues when dealing with very large corporate customers that can have billions in payables outstanding. Rick Striano, regional head of trade and financial supply chain for the Americas at Deutsche Bank, says some buyers choose to establish multiple SCF programs to mitigate risk and capacity concerns. Deutsche has no plans to participate in competing platforms, Striano says, but is currently rolling out the "capability to invite other funding banks to participate in our programs."
J.P. Morgan has been selling SCF assets to other lenders for a few years and has seen the number of banks interested in participating in such syndications increase significantly. "Whereas two years ago there were three or four banks participating in another bank's program, now there are probably 20, and a year from now it will be closer to 40," Stitt says.
Another recent trend involves companies offering dynamic discounting, automating a process that allows a supplier to agree to discounting at multiple points in the receivables lifecycle. SCF systems from banks and technology vendors increasingly offer some version of dynamic discounting.
SCF programs can also generate fees for companies that provide data on their suppliers and payables, an arrangement that PrimeRevenue offers on its platform.
"We're paying them for access to their suppliers and the data from their internal systems," says Kramer of PrimeRevenue, which pays marketing fees to buyers. "That data is very valuable because it gives suppliers and SCF funders visibility into future events, which they've never had before. This lowers costs and risks for all parties and enables funders to provide lower interest rates."

Thanksgiving is over and the rush is on.
Thanksgiving is over and the rush is on.
�It has started picking up,� Kinston Postmaster Al Brantley said Tuesday. �We still have customers coming in and purchasing Christmas stamps and mailing packages.�
The U.S. Postal Service expects 385 million packages to be shipped this Christmas, a 20 percent annual gain and a USPS record
�It will get busier,� Brantley said. �Generally, the first two weeks are really the busiest, then it slacks up.�
The first and last hours of each day, as well as lunchtime, are the busiest, so Brantley said it�s best to come in during mid-morning or from 2-4 p.m.
Snow Hill Postmaster Mike Harris said he�s seen an increase in customers as of Monday, but traffic is expected to greatly increase the next three weeks.
�We predict the busiest day to be Dec. 17th,� Brantley said.
On that day, USPS expects to process more than 655 million pieces of mail, compared to 538 million on a normal day.
While the U.S. Postal Service has seen a decline in letters, more people are ordering online, he said. So package deliveries are up and will probably double on the heaviest delivery days � Dec. 19-20.
�We�re already seeing an up-tick in the mailing of packages,� Brantley said.
The Postal Service partners with UPS and FedEx and is instrumental in delivering packages in the last mile of delivery.
�We go to every address,� Brantley said. The private carriers don�t deliver to post office boxes and some rural areas.
All the area post offices will be delivering mail on Christmas, which falls on a Monday this year. But some smaller offices will close early.
�Mail traffic will be light,� Brantley said. �The Plaza branch is actually busier than the main office because it�s more accessible.�
Customers can purchase holiday stamps. Designs include the contemporary Santa and sleigh, the Madonna and child and the holy family. Also available are Hanukkah and Kwanzaa stamps.
Margaret Fisher can be reached at 252-559-1082 or email@example.com.
Breakout box:
Deadlines to mail letters and packages before Christmas:
International mail � Priority: Dec. 3; Express: Dec. 11
Continental U.S. � Parcel post: Dec. 14; First class: Dec. 20; Priority: Dec. 21; Express: Dec. 22
Breakout box:
Kinston postmaster Al Brantley�s recommendations for mailing packages:
n Use sturdy corrugated boxes.
n Mark over writing and other markings on boxes.
n Don�t wrap boxes with paper or string; it will get caught up in the postal machines.
n Use newspaper, foam peanuts or other padding to protect contents.
n Insurance is highly recommended. (Only Express is automatically insured.)
n Write address and return address directly on boxes. (Labels may tear off.)
n Include the address and return address inside the boxes.

You missed Las Vegas? No problem. We've got the hot new SEMA stuff for your g-machine right here
SEMA is to gearheads like Christmas is to a 6-year-old. For those lucky guys and gals who get to make the yearly pilgrimage to Las Vegas, it's the high point of the year. The only downside is that there is so much crap to sort through, it's easy to miss the really good stuff. Fortunately, we had our radar tuned in to the kind of gear hot rodders and g-Machiners want. We skipped the bling and scooped up the trick parts, making sure GM, Ford, and Mopar owners were well represented. Here's a baker's dozen of the coolest things we discovered.
Red Devil Titanium Brakes
We first discovered these on Bob Johnson's outrageous '71 'Cuda, which was displayed in the Popular Hot Rodding booth. Although adapted for the Mopar, they come in kit form for Corvette, Viper, CTS-V, Impala SS, and Mercury Marauder. On a C5 Corvette, the unsprung weight reduction is 33 pounds on the front axle alone and stopping distance from 60 mph is reduced to a mere 90 feet. The ceramic-impregnated titanium rotors weigh next to nothing–we thought they were paper mache mock-ups at first. The complete kits aren't cheap though; to outfit the front and rear axle, the price for calipers (6-piston and 4-piston, respectively) and rotors runs between $7,600 and $11,000. If it's any consolation, life expectancy on the rotors is well over 100,000 miles.
B&M Composite X Black Diamond Shifter
Face it, chrome and polished billet are out, and carbon fiber and brushed aluminum are in. The new Black Diamond shifter from B&M addresses this look and brings your g-Machine into the 21st century. The Black Diamond ratchet-type shifter is made of real carbon fiber, holds two standard 2 1/16-inch gauges and a momentary contact switch (for line-lock or nitrous), and works with most common automatic transmissions (GM TH-400, 350, 250, 200, 700R4, 200-4R, Ford C4, C6, AOD, Mopar TF-727 & 904). Get a great look with no missed shifts in a package that costs around $410.
ERL Performance 500-cid LS2
If you thought the new 427-cube LS7 was the big dog on the block, think again. ERL Performance now offers 500 cubic-inch short blocks in crate form or as kits. ERL starts with an LS2 block and fits it with "Superdeck" deck plates to arrive at a 10.2-inch deck height. The Superdeck system employs integrated bore sleeves for long rods and plenty of stroke–up to 4.5 inches. These short-blocks are built to order, so a multitude of combos are possible; rod size (Carillo) ranges from 6.600- to 6.800-inch, bore (Wiseco pistons) ranges from 4.155- to 4.205-inch, and stroke (a Lunati forging) starts at 4.250 inches. ERL even developed it's own big-bore MLS gaskets with Cometic, a leader in the field. Add ERL's intake port spacers to your heads and over 1,000 hp is possible. One of these will set you back about $10K.
Keisler Engineering Perfect Fit
Tranny Kits
We like to shift our own gears and we like overdrive for the highway, so Keisler's Perfect Fit overdrive transmission kit is on our to-do list. Keisler takes a brand new Tremec 5-speed (TKO 500 or 600) and combines it with all the parts you need to swap it into your early GM, Ford, or Mopar musclecar. Typical applications exist for '64-'73 Mustang, first- and second-gen Camaro, '70-'74 Mopar E-body, '62-'76 Mopar A-body, '62-'74 Mopar B-body, C3 and C4 Corvette, '64-'72 GM A-body and others. Recent technology breakthroughs in Keisler Perfect Fit kits include hydraulic clutch actuators, proprietary aluminum bellhousings (you'll want to check out Keisler's redesigned 621 GM can), crossmembers, and shifters. A typical kit price for an automatic-to-stick conversion is around $4,000 and includes every nut and bolt you need to make it complete.
Hotchkis Performance First-Gen Camaro Suspension
First-gen Camaro/Firebird owners are familiar with most companies peddling bolt-on front suspension parts, but until now, Hotchkis hasn't been one of them. Strange, since proprietor Jon Hotchkis is such a well-traveled Camaro wheelman. The Hotchkis Total Vehicle System (TVS) now encompasses '67 – '69 Camaros and Firebirds with a selection of upper and lower control arms, sway bar, front springs, tie-rod sleeves, subframe connectors, and its previously existing line of rear suspension parts. Both big- and small-block cars are covered; parts can be purchased a la carte, or as TVS kits. We added up the cost for the whole front-end enchilada, and came up with around $2,350, but Hotchkis is currently offering a $150 rebate through its Web site, so don't wait another minute.
Stainless Steel Brake Corporation V8 Calipers
What's meaty enough to stop a Ford F-350 truck with 26-inch dubs, but trim enough to fit in most g-Machines? Try SSBC's new line of V8 8-piston brake calipers. We're still a little hazy on exactly which kits the V8 caliper will be available with, but we're told there will be a bunch for classic musclecars. Eight pistons deliver the clamping force over a broader area, so pad wear is more even, braking is more consistent, and heat is dissipated more quickly. Front axle kits featuring the V8 caliper cost around $2,500 and include everything–from rotors and calipers, to brackets, hoses, and hardware.
Mopar B/E-body Rack & Pinion Steering Conversion
For too many years, Mopars have been on the bottom of the list when it comes to developing and selling high-performance handling products. Now Maval Manufacturing is doing something about it with its rack-and-pinion Unisteer conversion kit. Thanks to Maval, glacial handling, poor steering response, and excess weight can now be a thing of the past. Maval uses a 17:1 hydraulic rack and packages it with all the necessary brackets, steering pump, hardware, and hoses. The kit costs around $1,000. The manufacturer claims the kit is a simple bolt-on and requires no major modification.
Lakewood 2005 Mustang Watts Linkage
The 2005-06 Mustang GT is an awesome car for the money, but there is lots of room for improvement, and the guys at Lakewood are on the case. Understanding the limitations of the factory Panhard bar, Lakewood has designed this bolt-in Watt's linkage. Simply put, a Watt's linkage effectively locates the rear axle laterally without causing lateral movement like the factory Panhard bar, which rotates around an arc as the rear end traverses vertically. The benefit: left turns and right turns act the same and your axle doesn't move sideways when you lower your car with lowering springs or air springs. The cost on this driveway bolt-on is just $395.
ATS LS1/LS2 Oil Pan Swap Kit
American Touring Specialties is one of those young, fast-moving aftermarket companies that is riding the wave of swapping LS1 and LS2 engines into everything from street rods to restomods. Its product line is 100-percent dedicated to putting the LSx motor into first-gen Camaros and Firebirds, and its latest piece is this slick road race oil pan kit. It's got internal baffles, custom oil pick-up, gasket, stud hardware, fittings for -10 AN oil cooler lines, and lots of clearance for steering linkage and frame. This puppy costs $499, but that's a whole lot cheaper (not to mention better for the oiling system) than slicing and dicing the stock LS1 pan to fit.
Racepak GPS Data Acquisition
We don't know how to describe the G2X Racepak other than to say, we gotta get one of these, fast. Install the G2X Racepak in your interior, place the multi-display monitor in your IP binnacle, and find a good place for the GPS antenna. Now make some laps. The G2X records g's (lateral, acceleration, and deceleration), speed, lap times, and splits. It also draws an accurate map of the track you're on from recorded GPS location data. You don't need to set up tripods, infrared sensors or generally make a nuisance of yourself with corner workers or track marshals–just install the gear in your car and let the U.S. military do the hard work for you. The in-car monitor shows lap times in large LEDs, too. The G2X costs $899. One last thing: Racepak Data Systems is owned my MSD, so you know it's good.
COMP Cams Camshaft and Programmer For New Hemi
Got a new 5.7- or 6.1-liter Hemi in your Magnum, Charger, or 300C, but can't get past the factory computer to make real horsepower? COMP has the solution with its line of advanced XFI camshafts for Mopar's newest bullet. After installing one of three new Hemi XFI camshafts, just download the engine software from the handheld "Fast Flash" programmer included with the cam kit. COMP says gains up to 61 hp have been recorded with just the camshaft/programming swap. And the best part? No crazy drivability problems or "check engine" codes to deal with.
Magnacharger Gen-1 Chevy Blower Kit
Whatever happened to regular roots blowers for musclecars? Seems like only late-model computer cars warrant attention from blower manufacturers these days. And what's with the prices of these kits? Magnuson Products knows your pain, and has just released its Eaton 112 blower in kit form for the Gen-1 small-block Chevy. Street price for the kit is an affordable $1,650, which comes with the blower, manifold, lid assembly, idler, belt tensioner, belt, crank pulley, and gaskets. The M112 has an internal bypass valve for cool running and less wear, and the power increase ranges from 63 percent to 125 percent, depending on blower pulley ratio and engine specs.
