White Lines: North American Ski Resorts
For those in search of perfect North American powder, look no farther than these 10 ski resorts
Larry Olmsted
From the Print Edition:
Vince McMahon, Nov/Dec 99
They are the ultimate resorts, entire communities devoted to recreation. These places exist simply because they happen to be next to great mountains, mountains where avid skiers flock to do what they love. Entrepreneurs move their businesses there and telecommute. Celebrities can't stay away. This is the magical hold great mountains have over skiers: build a ski resort and they will come.
While the proximity to and selection of luxurious hotels, restaurants, après-ski hangouts and boutiques are important when planning a ski vacation, the most significant consideration is the quality of the skiing, because that is, after all, your reason for being there. The rest is just window dressing.
The very best slopes are skiers' mountains, where skiers can spend a day, a week or a month without having to wipe the smile off their faces. So, wax those skis, sharpen those edges and head for these 10 resorts, my picks, in order, for places with the very best skiing in North America.
Its nickname says it all: The Big One. With the highest vertical drop in the United States, Jackson Hole is a monster of a mountain, beautiful in its simplicity: one ski area, tall, wide, steep and deep. Terrain defines greatness, and Jackson has it, from cruisers and bumps to bowls and chutes, with plenty of snow to cover it all.
What sets Jackson apart is its wide-open layout. More a series of bowls and slopes than a set of trails, the runs defy mapping. The printed map the resort provides barely scratches the surface. With few trees, Jackson is a huge open slope, and one big bowl empties into another, and so on down the mountain, with choices at every turn. This layout cannot get boring: you could ski a whole season without taking the same line twice. Jackson takes the very best part of most western mountains--the above-tree-line terrain--and multiplies it by 10.
Jackson has a reputation as an expert's mountain, and not undeservedly. It has some impossibly difficult terrain, including the famed Corbert's Couloir, probably the hardest marked trail anywhere. But Jackson offers terrain for skiers of all abilities, and the right side of the map offers some truly superb blue (intermediate) runs. With fewer than 5,000 skiers on busy days, Jackson Hole is also wonderfully uncrowded, and skiers have entire trails, or even bowls, to themselves. If there is any drawback, it is the distance from town (about 12 miles).
Despite Jackson's charms, nearby Grand Targhee draws many skiers for a visit, and they aren't disappointed. Even locals head to "The 'Ghee," as it's called, after a snowfall, because it gets better powder. Grand Targhee is laid out much like Jackson Hole, but is less steep and without cliffs. Beginners and intermediates will love Grand Targhee, which is among the most snowed-on resorts in the country.
Planning a trip: Nonstop jet service from Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles and Chicago makes Jackson surprisingly easy to reach. The airport is just minutes from town. The best lodging in Jackson is found at the Wort Hotel, home of the SilverDollar Bar & Grille. Skiers can also stay slopeside in Teton Village.

Don't let emotion get in way
A response to Mr. Cutts commentary on Oct. 20:
If I read you right, you are comparing the "religious right" to the Taliban and al-Qaida. I, on the other hand, compare these two terrorist organizations to those who similarly assign no value to life, to those who would have us destroy the most defenseless of human beings: silent victims, approximately 50 percent of which are female and 14 percent are black, who have no say and cannot even whimper a protest at being slaughtered.
This is the same mindset that tries repeatedly to eliminate …

You've misread the article.
But when they do inevitably replace RDJ as Iron Man I'm guessing it'll mean the end of successful Iron Man movies.
You've misread the article.
But when they do inevitably replace RDJ as Iron Man I'm guessing it'll mean the end of successful Iron Man movies.
he'll probably do a part 4 if Iron Man 3 does well. I don't see him walking unless there's some personal meltdown between Downey and the studio people..
As far as the Avengers movie, Iron Man doesn't even nessecarily "need" to be in the movie. There's been plenty of times Iron Man has taken leave of the team, as I'm pretty sure they'll want to introduce some new members *coughBlack Panthercough*
It would be sad if Downey jr were to be replaced. Iron Man would lose importance.
I love RDJ as Iron but I know a time will come when he calls it a day. I think that day is a long way off though. I can see him doing at least another 3 movies after Iron Man 3, be they Iron Man or Avengers sequels.
Thor: God of Thunder, Indestructible Hulk, Deadpool, Captain Marvel, Avengers, Mighty Avengers, All-New X-Men
As for more Iron Man movies... 3 is actually kind of enough for me. RDJ is great and all but like Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean, 3 is enough.
If RDjr does stop playing IM they should definitely just sub someone in. If James Bond has taught us anything it is that you can keep switching actors almost indefinitely. Even there, I thought the recent reboot after 20 films was silly.
I think it's great they can even play with the idea of going the Bond route. It really shows how much super hero movies have cemented themselves as a legitimate genre over the past ten years. Thanks, in large part, due to the work of great actors like Robert Downey Jr.
Or they could just pay him a ton of money to do Avengers 2, kill him off, and NOT recast him. Of course that would require guts.
'The marquis. Well, you know, to be honest, he seems a little bit dodgy to me.'
'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."
Pain shared is divided, joy shared is multiplied
Pay him to be in Avengers 2 and either kill him off or just write around him from then on. Hell, if they do an Avengers 2, just have it introduce a sort Cap's Kooky Quartet with everyone else gone and introduce a new set of characters, possibly Ant Man and the Wasp, who should have a movie by that time and maybe the mutants will be available for use by then as well.

Single stack is easier to conceal under shirts and in pockets.
recent article from G&A said that
thin is in or will be soon
do the readers believe this yes or no and why
there do seem to be some recent additions to single stack 9s and 40s and with kahr's upcoming pm45 is thin really coming back especially for ccw
Single stack is easier to conceal under shirts and in pockets.
People want the ulitimate firepower in the smallest package for CCW. Until they have to shoot it. Alot of people think they want small/powerful but they fire one round and touch the dragons breath and the weapon gets traded for something completely different.
Once you fire off 23 rounds without reloading you are mentaly hooked to Hi Cap.
IMHO high capacity is great for HD, or the range. The gun I carry I like to keep them under 30ozs and really closer to 25 if I can. Like Mike says if your planning on missing a lot you might need a high capacity gun.
now you're talking spacedoggy
When one considers how much interest the new single-stacks are generating, and how many persons across the nation are getting their CHL, I can see why thin is in....
Baldy, I am currently 249 pounds and 6' 2" tall. An extra pound doesn't matter a whole bunch. I shoot around 1000 rounds a month and don't plan on missing much should a problem occur. I know what Mikey say's and don't always agree with him either. I don't know how far the news coverage of Marijuana farms found in the National forest has traveled but it got to me. There have been some Large plantings found within areas I have hunted and played in, less than 20 miles from home. They were very large plantings utilizing several miles of drip irrigation equipment with product at or near $100 Million in value, guarded by AK47 toting Illegal Aliens. If I should inadvertantly stumble into one of these areas I want as high capacity as is available. Normaly the standard 17 round M&P9 or 15 round M&P40 with a spare mag will do. A 5 shot snubby just feels woefully inadequate anymore.
One single stack slim line gun for "formal wear", like the Kahr in my front pocket.
One Hi-Cap Big Bore (XD 45 or equivalent) for the drawer, and for informal work... like a cargo pocket.
I selected Yes, since I'd like to see new compacts, and I own one. But I'm happy I own both.
My dad had the same issue, on a smaller scale, in Upstate NY w/ the pot plantation... The NYS Troopers removed and burned 200-250 TREES off of his 60 acre spare hunting plot... Couple of red-necks with shotguns, as opposed to illegals w/ AKs... but I'd still feel nervous with a 6-shooter around that.
Well, once the Democrats take the White House and get AWB II, it's not like we'll have much of a choice. I am buying lots of full-cap Glock mags now. Still, mag capacity is about the last thing I consider when buying a pistol. All popular pistols carry enough rounds for defense.

Donate to the Christian and Stephanie Nielson Recovery fund: http://www.nierecovery.com/.
All opinions, particularly those involving politics and Glocks, are mine and not Galco's.
From what I have been seeing most the people with a double stack on their hip have a CCW or a badge. I carry a single stack and and an extra mag. I don't really think I'll need the other mag though..lol. I don't plan on needing all of the first one. a well placed 45ACP does a lot to turn a situation around in my favor pretty quick in my experiences.
Hi-Cap is great though. There's a lot to be said about 15 rounds and no reloading (As in my P226). I have a shoulder rig that carries it pretty well. I just don't do it often being my caliber preference and the things I own have kept me old school I guess.
Bottom line is, You should carry what you are comfortable and good with.
I ccw a Glock 21 every day. I love the 13 round mags.
I think it comes down to how many eventualities we plan on. The world is not a safe place, I carry a gun on the off chance I will need to defend myself. I carry a spare mag in case I need more ammo or have a jam, I carry a second spare mag in case I need more ammo after that, I carry a long gun in the car, I carry spare ammo for the long gun in the car, I carry water in the car, I carry food in the car...
None of these are bad ideas. I am just not that pessimistic. I carry a gun that I shoot well and can easily conceal. I carry a spare mag. I shoot often and get professional training on occasion.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
When I'm packing my little P3AT I always have a spare mag. If I'm carrying my G23 I often do not-mainly because I need a better mag holder than I made. I have Blackhawk Serpa for my G23.
I read an article on the new PPS tonight. I wanna see one now.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
Well..Got 2 8 round mags for my Para LTC. If that ain't enough I must have really made a wrong turn somewhere Of course if I'm around my Jeep I do have the trusty ol' 40VE Smith that's 2 more 14's. I do havea long gun in there most the time also but for me that's more for dinner planning..lol. Thing is in that whole planning thing if I planned for every kind of craziness then I'd look like Arnold on one of those Terminator flicks. I live pretty far out in the woods so it's not usually people that I'm all that worried about. that in mind I can see if one as in a more populated area then a hi-cap might make a lot more sense for me
Most, I think, favor high capacity over thin.
Today I asked my wife if it bother her that I wear a gun at all time, even my pajama kel-tec and carry all this stuff. She said not at all, makes her feel safer.
The one thing I don't want to happen to me is someday be in a situation wear I needed to defend myself or even worst defend my wife that means more to me than anything in this world and not have the necessary items on me. Now when I get dress to go to church and I leave my holster off it feels strange. I take everything with me in my bag and after church when I'm leaving the parking lot I am loading up. One time I told my wife I would wait in the car as she was talking with many after church. I watch and I swear it looked like every other car, trucks down here, when leaving looked like people were arming themselves. I did see three pistols two coming from the center box and one from the glovebox in three trucks. That day I would have to say around 25 people were getting their gear on when leaving the parking lot. That's when I said I'm sure glad I live in Texas. If my gun jams there is a dam good change that another Texan will be there to back me up.
I carry my P3AT to church. It's small enough and violence, sadley, happens all to often in church. What better place to find unarmed people.

I bought these tuners to replace original tuners on a 40's Harmony lap steel I'd restored and modified. The original tuners were in amazing shape and fully operational. But I use this instrument for recording, and the old tuners were never great. The new tuners provided an easier tuning experience, a better gear ratio, AND they look great. The quality is evident. They pretty much dropped right in, spacing-wise, another plus. Huge overall improvement even though there was nothing technically wrong with the originals.
great look, great quality, great price
I needed new tuners for my 1978 Guild D-25, so ordered a set of Golden Age Restoration Tuners. I was a bit concerned whether they would fit properly (especially as I live in UK!) but no worries, they fit perfectly...even the screw holes matched up exactly & they look just great! (I just had to get some 10mm ferules to match the holes in the peg head)
Bought these to replace the tired old ones in my early 60's melody maker.
Worked like a charm.
I also dropped a lollar melody maker P90 in the bridge, WOW!
I bought a set of these to replace the original Klusons in my B25N. It now plays solidly in tune and has much more sustain. I love these
I ordered a set of restoration tuners with bell end baseplates, along with a couple of other items to install on a 1969 Gibson Melody Maker. The original tuners had been lost along with the original bridge/tailpiece. They arrived within days, and I have to say Stew-Mac's customer service is excellent, both by email and phone. The tuners are well made, no loose or wobbly bits, and they fit perfectly. The baseplate dimensions didn't exactly match the footprint of the originals, but that was OK since the customer wasn't particular about being 100% period correct.

April 23, 2014
The Virginia men's lacrosse team is in the top 10 in both major preseason polls released on Monday -- and so are the other three teams from the ACC.
The Cavaliers are ranked No. 7 in the USILA Coaches Poll, and No. 9 in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll.
Virginia is coming off a 12-4 season in 2012 that ended with a 12-10 loss to Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. But the Cavaliers have to replace much of last season's offensive firepower -- leading scorers Steele Stanwick, Chris Bocklet, and Colin Briggs have all graduated -- as well as last year's starting goalie, Rob Fortunato.
The other three ACC men's lacrosse programs are all ranked above the Cavaliers in both polls released Monday. Maryland is ranked second in both polls (behind defending national champ Loyola), while Duke is No. 4 in the media poll and No. 6 in the coaches poll, and North Carolina is tied for fourth in the coaches poll and No. 7 in the media poll.
Virginia's 2013 season begins at home on February 16, when the Cavaliers host Drexel.
A Virginia lacrosse spokesperson also said Monday that the Cavaliers have agreed in principle to open the 2014 season against Richmond. The 2014 season will mark the Spiders' first as a Division I college program.

The Dodgers' new television deal sounds great for the team, which will get at least $7 billion from Time Warner Cable in the next 25 years, and for the team's biggest fans, who might happily pay a few dollars a month extra for round-the-clock baseball programming.
But how good is it for other people -- that is, for most Southern Californians?
A lot of readers of Tom Hoffarth's excellent column responding to common questions about the Dodgers' TV deal probably skimmed until they got to the part about how this will hit viewers in the pocketbook.
The answer: "Perhaps as much as $5 (a month)," based on the per-subscriber cost of the Lakers' cable channels and the reasonable assumption that the cost will be passed along to viewers.
If Los Angeles residents were asked to pay $5 a month -- $60 a year -- in the form of, say, a parcel tax to clean up the county's stormwater runoff, there might be howls of protest. In fact, this month, when the county supervisors considered asking voters to approve just such a tax amounting to $54 a year for the average homeowner, residents mobilized and at least delayed the proposal.
The analogy is inexact, of course. But it's not hard to imagine some the 4.8 million Angelenos who pay for TV reacting with a Tommy Lasorda-quality tirade if they're asked for another $5 -- especially the many who don't watch Dodgers games (and only vaguely understood the Tommy Lasorda reference).
As Hoffarth notes, this could inspire a push to let cable subscribers shop for channels (such as sports channels) a la carte.
The Dodgers' new deal must be approved by Major League Baseball, and wouldn't take effect until the 2014 season, by which time questions such as the exact cost to viewers will be answered.
Fans of local sports franchises might not mind paying extra, knowing some of the money will go to the teams and be used to attract better players.
But that leaves out a lot of people, and viewers who don't like the sound of this will be justified in belting out a hearty "booooo."

Teacher: We're in a mandatory evacuation situation now. You're looking at anywhere from 10 to 14, 15 feet of storm surge, parish wide.
Narrator: A hurricane is bearing down on New Orleans.
Student: Okay, right now I'm going to need the fire department.
Narrator: And eighth graders from Landry Middle School, have assembled at the nearby emergency response center to deal with the mock crisis.
Student: Do we deliver babies?
Student: We're going to try.
Student: How are we going to get the paramedic to her house?
Student: We're going to send two paramedics.
Narrator: Power is out, bridges are down, and a pregnant woman is calling for help. The situation demands clear judgment, teamwork and improvisation.
Student: Two minutes apart. That baby is coming out.
Student: So we have any type of transportation?
Student: Don't we have-- oh, the truck, you know, the drive through water--
Student: It's like a Hummer.
Student: So we're going to use that truck to bring the paramedics to her house.
Dianne: Anytime we teach and we use real relevant real life experiences, kids are immersed in those experiences and learning is fun. And the bottom line is when learning is fun, it's easy and it comes quick to the kids, and they enjoy it.
Narrator: After some anxious moments, the storm passes, and science teacher Linda Watsky quizzes her class on what they've gained from the exercise.
Student: I will always remember the stress. I mean, it's hard being Parish President, you've got people, like, you know, Christie over here, well you've got a fire over here, and let's say, Teneesha over here, a tree fell down over here. And I'm, okay, well all right, okay, well then, okay, then I'm going to do this. All right, and then it's stressful. I mean, you've got to listen to so many things at one time.
Linda: Okay, how does what we were learning in class, relate to this? What does it take to solve a problem? Do you always have to be right the first go round?
All: No.
Linda: Okay, so the same with, in scientific method. The difference in class is you're solving it to learn knowledge. In here, you're solving it to save people's lives, and I think that's where the stress comes in.
Teacher: The back of your car has to be on this line.
Narrator: Not all of Landry's class work is stressful.
Teacher: If you hold it just there for your partner.
Narrator: In fact, much of the hands on project based learning here is downright fun.
Teacher: Okay?
Narrator: To engage their students at the end of the year, the eighth grade teachers came up with a project focusing on cars. In science class, students made balloon propelled cars out of recycled materials, and road tested their various designs.
Teacher: Oh, it curved, look at that.
Narrator: Like most Landry projects, the car unit was featured across the eighth grade curriculum.
Teacher: Try to write some different selling points.
Narrator: In language arts, students wrote car commercials, and in math, they calculated loan payments.
Teacher: At six percent, of whatever you get for item number seven.
Student: So multiply six percent--
Teacher: Percent times that.
Student: Okay.
Narrator: They also used the web to plan trips and find information on fuel economy and environmental impacts.
Student: Not only is the vehicle going to save the earth, it also comes with most standard features that all consumers really, really like.
Narrator: And they evaluated pitches from local car salesmen.
Salesman: Here you can see, this truck, at least, it's fully equipped, it has cruise control, the tilt steering wheel, it has power windows and power door locks, and power mirrors.
Student: How much does it take to fill up the tank? How much it costs?
Salesman: And that's going to be close to 40 dollars for, you know, an empty tank.
Teacher: In the math thing, they were very much into it. We talked about--
Narrator: The eighth grade teachers coordinate their efforts and evaluate the progress of projects during their daily 45 minute shared time.
Teacher: And we had little scenarios where they reached in the bag and pulled out whether they're single or whether they have three kids, so when they went to pick the cars, it was like, you know, I want this car that's 147,000, but my income on my profile card says, all I'm making is 48,000 dollars, but I have to take care of three kids.
Narrator: For these teachers, the benefits of team teaching extend beyond curriculum development.
Dianne: One of the things that the kids say, is they see that we work as a team. Plus that's also the way the business world is run, in teams. So what we expect them to be able to do, as young adults, that is what we practice here, so that they can see the real world connection.
Student: The downpayment you gave was 1,000, so more or less what you have is 48. So this is how much you wanted to pay, but--
Narrator: At Landry, students practice teamwork, too.
Student: Are you lost? Are you getting me?
Student: I got you.
Student: You got me? So what happens is, you have to pay the bank back.
Narrator: Students of varying abilities are grouped in teams of four, which often include older students needing extra help.
Jont'e: We don't really work by ourselves. Because we sit in groups, and if we have a question, well, if we don't know it, then we ask, like, our peers and our pupils, and if they don't know it, then we ask the teacher, because it's really like a community. We stay-- we're one big family, and we are the Landry family and we help each other out.
Linda: I've had kids come back to me and tell me, "Do you remember that project we did?" They have never, ever come back and said, "Remember that test we did?" So I think that's the impact. If the kids remember, test scores will go up, and our test scores have.
Student: We need two and two, because--
Mentor: I know another Y. I'm doing Ys over one.
Narrator: Volunteer mentors from local industry are also part of the Landry family.
Paul: We come here once a week, and we get the satisfaction of working with excellent students and seeing the future.
Narrator: And when new technology is thrown into the mix, learning is a blast.
Teacher: Out. Go back, same way, in and out, in and out.
Paul: We're doing a study of motion and graphing. We're letting the students see that, as they walk, this motion detector here, graphs their path, and we're going to show them that their walk can be interpreted into math.
Teacher: You see it? Where's that gap? The gap is way up there, you know why? What is it reading?
Student: Nothing.
Teacher: It read nothing, it read the wall. So we--
Narrator: While students, teachers and community members work in teams throughout the year, the ultimate test of teamwork at Landry, comes when a group of traveling circus professionals arrives.
Narrator: Known as Circus of the Kids, they spend two weeks turning ordinary students into high flying acrobats and accomplished performers who delight and terrify an audience of peers and parents.
Vanessa: It raises their self esteem, lets them know that, as long as you try, you know, at anything, you can do your best. You just have to be positive. It's kind of dangerous, but if they teach them well, actually, yeah, he was a fire eater. So I just was glad when it was over.
Student: And now for your entertainment our jugglers, Amanda--
Student: At first when I heard about it, I was like, circus, you know, I can't do this, I'm not even going to try. But when they started showing me how to do this, they demonstrated it for us, and it was like, okay, well maybe I can do it. And I started doing it, and realized, I'm really good at this stuff.

Initiating the Clinical Trial Application | Application Form and Guidelines | Conflict of Interest & Financial Disclosure | IRB Oral Presentation Guidelines | Application FAQs
What do I need to know about conflict of interest regarding my clinical trial?
Federal regulations and Mercy policy require that investigators disclose any significant financial interests that may present an actual or potential conflict of interest in relationship to externally sponsored projects prior to initiation of the study. If you answer, "Yes" to any of the questions on the "Significant Financial Interests in a Sponsored Project – Addendum B" form you must reveal those financial interests on a separate submission before the protocol is reviewed by the full committee.
Federal Code Part 54 requires that investigators disclose financial interests in sponsors of clinical trials. Typically, the corporate sponsor will provide its own disclosure form which details what must be disclosed (royalties, patents, equity interest, etc.) The company's disclosure form does not serve as a replacement or substitute for the Mercy Financial Disclosure for, and the company's form should be sent directly to the company, not to the IRB office.
"Investigator" means the principal investigator, co-investigator, and any other person at Mercy Medical Center who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research or educational activities funded, or proposed for funding, by an external sponsor. In this context, the term "Investigator" includes the investigator's family (spouse, domestic partner, and dependent children).
What must be disclosed?
Each investigator shall disclose all significant financial interests in the funding sponsor that would reasonably appear:
- To be affected by the research, educational, or service activities funded, or proposed for funding, by an external sponsor, or
- To present a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest in the objective performance of the project.
"Sponsor" means the organization or other entity providing funds.
"Significant financial interests" means anything of monetary value, including, but not limited to, salary or other payments for services (i.e. consulting fees or honoraria); equity interests (i.e. stocks, stock options, or other ownership interests); and intellectual property rights (i.e. patents, copyrights, and royalties from such rights). The term "significant financial interest" includes the following:
- An entity interest that when aggregated for the investigator and the investigator's family, meets both of the following tests: exceeds $10,000 in value a determined through reference to public prices or other reasonable measures of fair market value, or, constitutes more than a 5 percent ownership interest in any single entity.
- Other salary, royalties, or other payments that when aggregated for the investigator and the investigator's family over the past 12 months does exceeds $10,000 or is anticipated to exceed $10,000 over the 12 month period immediately following the submission execution of the clinical trial agreement.
The term "significant financial interest" does not include the following:
- Salary, royalties, or other remuneration from Mercy Medical Center.
- Income from seminars, lectures, or teaching engagements sponsored by public or nonprofit entities.
- Income from service on advisory committees or review panels for public or nonprofit entities.
What is the disclosure procedure?
The principal investigator is responsible for seeing that all investigators disclose their significant financial interest by completing and signing the "Significant Financial Interests in a Sponsored Project – Addendum B" form found with the application. The completed form(s) must be submitted with the Clinical Trial application. By signing the Clinical Trial application the principal investigator certifies that he/she has requested such information from all investigators.
Disclosure material will be considered confidential information to the extent permitted by law.

BYOD Planning and Costs: Everything You Need to Know
Bring Your Own Device programs promise to remove the cost of smartphones from a company's balance sheet. But most companies transitioning from company-issued smartphones to BYOD aren't even breaking even. Here's a breakdown on BYOD's hidden costs and some tips from those in the trenches on how to make BYOD work for your business.
Thu, December 13, 2012
CIO — When 600 workers jumped on their tech company's new "Bring Your Own Device" smartphone program, expenses went through the roof: collectively $300,000 over budget in the first year, says Network Sourcing Advisors, a mobile consultancy that helped the company rein in costs.
"It was just outrageous," says David Schofield, partner at Network Sourcing Advisors.
After Network Sourcing Advisors exposed hidden costs and crafted a comprehensive policy for the tech company, expenses dropped. Now the cost of BYOD is only slightly higher than the cost of company-issued smartphones that preceded it.
Truth is, most companies would do well to break even with BYOD smartphones. Hidden costs can spiral out of control and wreak havoc on a company's bottom line. That's not to say companies shouldn't adopt BYOD. Rather, they might want to learn what they're up against when it comes to BYOD's dollars and sense.
The aforementioned tech company's biggest misstep: trusting employees to do the right thing. Network Sourcing Advisors found widespread employee abuse, such as expensing family plans, upgraded phones and termination fees, signing up for maximum data plans even though they weren't necessary, and racking up thousands of dollars in overseas data charges.
Network Sourcing Advisors ironed out an enforceable policy that included a monthly stipend for BYOD expense reports. If an employee goes over the stipend and still wants to get reimbursed, he'll have to prove that the overage is business related and that steps were taken to reduce costs.
"It was a significant cost reduction for the company," Schofield says. "But even in their stipend situation, people are still over-buying. In BYOD overall, they're net losing, although not as much as they were."
Cost Savings: BYOD's Mixed Message
The idea that a company spends more on BYOD smartphones than company-issued smartphones flies in the face of conventional wisdom. After all, if companies no longer have to pay for phones, then that should add up to a whole lot of savings, right?
(To be fair, many companies choose to adopt BYOD not for cost savings but increased worker productivity. Intel, for instance, claims to have a return of $7,500 per BYOD employee per year, in the form of 57 extra minutes a day per employee, compared to $2,500 per employee to enable, manage and secure BYOD, reports InfoWorld.)
Slideshow: 15 Best iPhone Apps for Busy CEOs
High-tech companies such as Cisco, VMware and Ingram Micro began mandating BYOD smartphones, and they're claiming huge cost savings. "I feel very comfortable saying that I will save seven figures this year," VMware CIO Mark Egan told me earlier this year.

2104 Murray Ave, Pittsburgh, PA | Directions 1521740.433431 -79.923065
Mon. - Sat. 5pm - 9:45pm;Sun. CLOSED
Neighborhoods: Squirrel Hill South
New location, Great Sushi, BYOB! – Chaya is an excellent neighborhood Japanese restaurant. They recently just moved to a location right up the street, which allows for much more space for seating. (Before it had a smaller seating area and, due to the fact that it is so popular, was always crowded.)
I literally go here at least once a month, and I have never had bad service. The waitresses are always very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. There dumplings are great, and all the sushi is delicious. I cannot speak to their entrees, but their sushi is some of my favorite in Pittsburgh.
Never Go Here – The customer service here is the WORST. The waitstaff rushes you out as soon as you pay. My friend and I were in the middle of a serious conversation about an ill parent, and the waitress interrupted our conversation within 2 minutes of us paying our bill to tell us to leave.
Moreover, the fish is not particularly fresh, and is overpriced for what you get. I have lived in New York City and Tokyo, and people who say that Chaya's sushi is so authentic clearly have never eaten high-grade sushi in their lives.
Best Japanese food in Pittsburgh! – Chaya has the best Japanese food in Pittsburgh by far. Definitely the best sushi. It is a true gem. We go almost once a week
Terrible service, cramped space – Awful!!! The waitress was very rude to us and when we received our check. On a credit card receipt from a restaurant, you know that blank space after the word "Tip"? Well the waitress wrote herself a $10 tip which is illegal! Even if gratuity is automatically added, a restaurant has to state that on their menu, and who ever heard of automatically adding gratuity for a party of 3? She's lucky I didn't complain about this because I wanted to get out of there for how mean she was to me and my two friends.
Terrible, terrible service! I don't understand why she was so rude to us, we weren't making a fuss like we could have... even after she altered our credit card receipt which is extremely illegal.
I would suggest getting there early, or you will wait for a table. Authentic Japanese cuisine and atmosphere, but at authentic Japanese (Tokyo metro area) prices. The sushi and sashimi are as good as any inland restaurant can be. Overall, I would recommend this place over any other Japanese restaurant in western PA.
Only for good sushi – The sushi is great, but other regular japanese food is way to overpriced for its taste. And the waitress is really rude. Avoid going at peak times, you will have to wait for at least an hour to get seating since the place is real tiny.
Very Authentic – One of the problems with Japanese places in Pittsburgh is that so few have staff that actually speaks Japanese. Chaya is NOT one of these. If you are trying to pick up Japanese and want to try it out on people who 'wakarimasu,' this is your place.
Aside from that, the food is excellent. They have an amazing selection of sushi, including the extremely hard to find Toro (fatty tuna). Their dinners offer a lot of food.
The only negative I'd say is that the price for Sushi is a bit high for this area, but if you are looking for quality over quantity, Chaya wins hands down.
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Authentic Japanese cuisine is served including sushi and sashimi at the restaurant that offers authentic oriental decor and reasonable prices.
Fantastic Sushi/Sashimi & Japanese food! Yum! – Surprised by the 1st (&only) negative review of Chaya, thought I should respond-it's rated so high because it's excellent! Just returned this evening & again were not disappointed. Sure, the proportions aren't what you'll find in Kyoto, but are certainly par for American restaurant standards. The quality, however, is 2nd to none in the area. Also, it's the only place in Pgh that makes their wasabi in house-fresh off the root! Go & decide for yourself.
Awful sushi and japanese food! Yuck! – We just ate at this place for the first time based on the city search rating. It was awful. Everything. Here is a list of what we ordered: edamame, miso soup, chicken teriyaki, spicy tuna roll, dynamite roll, tuna nigiri, salmon nigiri, and ama ebi. Nothing tasted good, the rolls were real scroungy, the nigiri was thinly cut, and the chicken had an awful consistency. Basically I dont know who rated this place so high but it was awful and we will never be returning.

Similar to the charitable gift annuity in that the payments are fixed at the time it is established, the charitable remainder annuity trust offers more flexibility and, therefore, more planning power.
The charitable remainder annuity trust is a tax-exempt trust that makes payments to the income beneficiaries based on a fixed percentage of the value of the trust assets at the time the trust is established. Payments received by the beneficiaries are taxed under the four-tier system of trust taxation, which effectively states that they will be taxed according to the manner in which they are received by the trust (i.e., ordinary income, capital gain, exempt income, return of principal).
The donor may identify any number of income beneficiaries, provided that the income tax deduction calculated at the time of the gift is equal to at least 10 percent of the gift and that another calculation required by the IRS confirms that there is less than a 5 percent probability that the trust will expend all of its assets in payments to the beneficiaries. In addition to establishing the number of income beneficiaries, the donor has the option of designing the trust to last for the life or lives of the beneficiary(ies);a fixed term of years or life, whichever is longer (or shorter); or simply a fixed term of years.
The charitable remainder annuity trust, therefore, allows a donor to support Colby while meeting personal goals requiring fixed payments over time or in complement to the fixed-income portion of the donor's portfolio.
Upon creating a charitable remainder annuity trust, an income tax charitable deduction is available and may be claimed in the year the gift is made. To the extent the donor is unable to use all of the deduction, a five-year carry forward is available.
Colby stands ready to serve as the trustee of a charitable remainder annuity trust provided the College is irrevocable remainderman of at least 51 percent of the trust assets and provided that the payout rate of the trust is set at between 5 and 7 percent. You may, should you wish, name yourself or another person or institution to serve as trustee.
The following chart shows the income tax charitable deduction available from a 5 percent charitable remainder annuity trust funded with $100,000.*
At Colby you may establish a charitable remainder annuity trust with a minimum gift of $50,000 in cash or marketable securities.
*Calculations shown here are based on the June 2010 IRS discount rate of 3.2 percent.

Nirmala Srivastava
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (March 21, 1923 – February 23, 2011) was the founder of Sahaja Yoga.
- How to do meditation, many people ask Me. Don't do anything, to just go into thoughtless awareness. Try to go to the thoughtless awareness. If you can get into that condition of thoughtless awareness you've done your job, because that's the point where you are with the truth, with the reality, with the joy, with everything that is so fundamental. When you meditate try not to, not to make some sort of a function out of it – no. Meditation is something silencing yourself, silencing your thoughts and going to that deep ocean which is within you itself. But supposing you don't do that, if you don't meditate. I can make out immediately those who are meditating and those who are not, it's not difficult for Me. Those who do not meditate are always hesitating and they are confused, they can't understand; and that's why meditation is the most important thing in Sahaja Yoga. [Diwali Puja, 2002, Los Angeles, USA][specific citation needed]
- Today on this day of Diwali I would say that you enlighten yourself with thoughtless awareness. It is not difficult. It's within you, because thoughts are coming from this side and that side and they are not the waves of your brain, no – just your own reactions. But in case you meditate in the real sense of the word, then you'll get into that thoughtless awareness which is a very important point, and all these nonsensical thoughts which are of no use to you will disappear. They won't be there, and then your growth is possible and you'll grow very well. [Diwali Puja, 2002, Los Angeles, USA][specific citation needed]
- But today is the day I declare that I am the one who has to save the humanity, I declare I am the one who is Adisakthi, who is the mother of all the mothers; who is the primordial mother; the Sakthi; the purest desire of God; who has incarnated on this earth. To give meaning to itself; to this creation; to human beings; and I am sure that through my love and patience and through my powers, I am going to achieve it. I was the one who was born again and again. But now I have come in my complete form and with complete powers. I have come on this earth, not only for salvation of human beings, not only for their emancipation, but for granting them the kingdom of heaven; the joy; the bliss that your father wants to bestow upon you. Those devotees of mine who worship me with no other thought and ever united with me, I look after not only their moksha, but their worldly well being as well. Leaving aside all worldly dharmas, surrender unto me and I will liberate thee from all sins, grieve not. [1]
- You cannot know the meaning of your life until you are connected to the power that created you.
- A star is shining within us and that is our Spirit..
- Either you lead a life which is luxurious on the material level or you lead a luxurious life of God's blessings - one of the two you have to choose, the time has come.
- The enjoyment of life is only possible if the world could get connected to the Spirit... You become the Spirit as Christ has said in simple words that you have to be born again.
- You are not this body, you are not this mind, - you are the Spirit... This is the greatest truth.
- Self realization is the first encounter with reality.
- Divinity is not a fashion. It is the way of life. It is the need of your being. You have to become that.
- Blossom time has come and many ancient seekers are today getting their self realization.
- You have to know your Spirit... For without knowing your Spirit you cannot know the truth!
- Now the stage today is to know that self realization gives you experiences and then your faith is established. Not blind but open enlightened faith.
- Self realization makes us humble... Replace temper with compassion... The more innocent you are, the more blissful you will be.
- Freedom is when you really get your own powers which are within you. In your central nervous system and in your conscious mind, you must feel the existence of the Spirit.
- Innately, within us resides the Spirit which wants to enlighten you, to give you the peace, the bliss and the joy of our being.
- Kundalini cures you, she improves you, she bestows all the blissful things upon you. She takes you away from the worries of grosser level.
- Meditation is the only way you can grow... Because when you meditate, you are in silence. You are in thoughtless awareness. Then the growth of awareness takes place.
- It's our duty to see that our children grow as great people. Greater than us. They have to look after the world. (from the book 'Education Enlightened')
- Now how can destructive powers be used for transformation ? First of all, when people know that there are destructive powers manifesting, they start fearing. They get afraid. That we'll be destroyed, so we must take to God. That's one of the ways. Secondly, if a person comes to know about any destructive disease like cancer, he wants to find out a method. And there is no method available on a human level. So then he thinks of God and wants to come nearer to God. The fear brings him closer to God. He depends on God more than on his rationality, than on his ego, or superego. And he wants to depend on God's powers to cure him or to save him from this destruction. So today we are going to pray that this force has to transform America through its capacity to frighten people so that they come to Sahaja Yoga. Because when things have reached this stage of ego, then when people say What's wrong? -Like in England when I started talking first, they said this is a Victorian woman, out of date, absolutely useless. I said "alright, I don't say anything. But you'll have such diseases that you'll have to come back". That was the time they pass the law that homosexuality should be allowed, permissiveness should be allowed, and all these things should be allowed. And now you have A.I.D.S. You have AIDS now here already operating. Now the AIDS has given the fear of the Ekadasha. Now have it ! What's wrong ! What about that ? So this awe and this fear is very important. Is an extremely important thing that you must have the awe and the fear that God is Almighty, and we are nothing before him. [17 September 1983, New York City]
- So this Vishnumaya shows her strength. She does lots of things by which people are frightened. She can enter into any, any element, she can permeate. Supposing she enters into a water element, she can create a typhoon. She can create a, any kind of disasters, she can enter into Mother Earth and she can create a earthquake. She can do anything because she has a power to enter into anything. You know that she can enter into Mother Earth very well, she can enter into water very easily and when she gets into she becomes a catalyst and all these problems that you are facing today in America are because of left Vishuddhi, because of Vishnumaya.... So all these thundering that are coming from nature, anything, whether it is earthquake or it is landslide or it could be floods or it could be typhoon, anything is the work of this Vishnumaya or we can say all natural catastrophes are brought about by this Vishnumaya, she has this power to ... this is the only way they can shock people, but despite all that shocking people have to relate these disasters to their mistakes they have committed and have, have nicely kept it here not facing." NB: Shri Mataji claims that Vishnumaya (a Hindu Goddess) is one of her aspects. [Vishnumaya Puja, New York, 19 September 1992]
- Shri Ganesha punishes sometimes through earth quakes. Specially where people are fundamentalist or where people practice black magic. She mentioned the Turkey earth quake. Mother told the story of the quake in India (in Lahore ??) where there is a Ganesh festival and people have a special statue of Shri Ganesha. After the festivities, people got drunk and then they started singing all kinds of things to Shri Ganesha. After that there was the earth quake and so many of them were taken inside the earth. There is a Sahaja center there, but all around the centre the earth opened, but no Sahaja Yogi died. The center remained all right." [NB: Shri Mataji claims that Ganesha (the elephant-headed Hindu god) is both her son and one of her own divine aspects.] [Ganesha Puja, September 1999, Cabella]
- Shri Ganesha was created starting from the Earth Mother. Because of those who use black magic, who are fundamentalists or do not respect chastity, He causes earthquakes, but His understanding is such that Sahaja Yogis are not harmed. Just as each animal acts according to its nature, the human beings, who incorporates all the animals, can have behaviours unforeseeable and often very cheap. For example, in India, after a procession with a statue of Shri Ganesha, people started to drink and dance in an indecent way. An earthquake occurred, but the ashram and the yogis were saved. Ganas, who are in us, observe our bad behaviours. They leave us the possibility to be sorry, but Shri Ganesha severely strikes those who want to dislodge Him. [NB: Ganas are soldiers in the divine realm.] ["Through His Innocence, His Softness, He Changes People", translated from the 9 October 1999 issue of the Sahaja Yoga newsletter of France]
Quotes from Meta Modern Era: p. 145 top "Even small children [in the West] want to read pornographic magazines because they want to have knowledge of the great science of sex. This is the result of curiosity created by schools giving sex education openly."
p. 148 middle "If sex education is given openly it becomes a subject which children discuss and want to know from each other. They have no other topic but sex. Their innocences [sic] is lost completely."
p.p. 164-165 "Some frightened French Sahaja Yogis wanted to save their children from the immoral society of France and they send very few to our school of Sahaja Yoga, where children from all over the world come. But the Catholic Church had a blind folded [sic] organisation [sic] called ADFi [sic] who gave two [sic] much trouble for one boy that the school has no French children. They were afraid these children might become moral and maybe absolutely misfit in the Catholic traditions."
p. 202 bottom "Sex education in an open class room [sic] has the effect of exciting the children and inducing them to experiment with sex at a very early age. ... the children lose their sense of shame about sex which is an exceedingly private matter."
p. 205 bottom "I have found out that one of the causes of psychosomatic diseases like cancer, is the built-in fear children imbibe in their childhood."
p. 207 bottom "Children should be encouraged to read good books written by great and noble men of the whole world, not only of their own country. They should develop a great liking for books which are biographies and autobiographies, rather than science-fiction which is imaginary or some sort of a warmonger's life story."
- Today is such a joyous day for me because we have children and we are dealing with children, most of them are born-realised, they are of a very special category, I've told you many a times. But we spoil them because we were not born-realised, so we don't know how to handle these special children, we spoil them. Not only we spoil them but we interfere with the school, we interfere with this, as if we are the wisest parents. Because we are SYogis we have to be much more sensible than other parents. How can you interfere with any school anywhere? But in SYoga you will! It is because there is no wisdom and no understanding of what is good and benevolent for your child. If you love your child then you must think of its benevolence. You must learn from the experience what happens to children if they are left like that. You cannot spoil your child, you cannot. Because its a special category of children they are. They are not children who can become vagabonds, they cannot become thieves. So you'll make them something funny they are neither here not there, they are born realised and they have to be channelised properly to achieve their complete manifestation of their spirit. So the possessiveness, and the stupid attachment to children must be given-up. There is no force on you , if you want to destroy your child you can destroy. But in an advice. If you are Ganeshas you would have understood it, I don't have to explain so much. What is good for your child, because we have to have beautiful children. They are born beautiful children, I tell you, if they are spoiled is because of you, you have spoiled them. You have ruined them. You are responsible. I know of many of so many children, they are very very sweet, I have conference with them also, and I find them much more congenial, I have a much better report that I can have with you: They never argue, never, they never say no, and they have very good information about all of you. [Shri Ganesha Puja in Cabella 15.9.91]
Quotes from Puja speeches:
Hamsa Puja, New York, 28.4.91: "The woman has to be a Gruha Lakshmi and husband has not to be a Romeo, but a husband. He has to see how his wife behaves, correct her, that is his job, his duty."
"To test you she may marry you to funny people also. This testing has to be done. That's the job of a Mahamaya. She has to test you. Gold has to be tested. The diamond has to be tested. All that is valuable has to be tested. Without that how can you certify. It's not like going to the church. Somebody puts the water on your head, all right, now you are baptised, finished, now you are chosen."
"England when we went first we were shocked ! They had no shame about this, they said, I'm already divorced thrice and this is the fourth woman I'm living with. So shocking for us. Oh God ! To us a divorce means worse than leprosis ! Why are you divorced ? What's the problem ? How can you be divorced ? Such an auspicious thing is the marriage ! How can you do it, is such a big fall ! And that's how it works out."
Quotes from Meta Modern Era: p. 61 para. 2 "The original idea of homosexuality might have by some coincidence, where some man must have been misidentified for a woman by another man, as in the comedy Charlie's Aunt."
Quotes from Puja speeches: Ekadesha Rudra Puja 17th September 1983, New York City "...Now how can destructive powers be used for transformation ? First of all, when people know that there are destructive powers manifesting, they start fearing. They get afraid. That we'll be destroyed, so we must take to God. That's one of the ways. Secondly, if a person comes to know about any destructive disease like cancer, he wants to find out a method. And there is no method available on a human level.

...So today we are going to pray that this force has to transform America through its capacity to frighten people so that they come to Sahaja Yoga.
