Dear Gurus,
while inputting results for inspection characteristics (QA32) MANUAL POP is appearing and its making my process very lengthy and labourious. please guide me how i can remove this POP up and let it automatic.
this is happening in one of the new plant. in rest of the plants its automatic. checked and compared plant settings, sample procedure, inpection plan characterics view but no sucess in bypassing this POP up.
i have been reviewing online suggestion but nothing is helping.
your prompt response is highly appreciate.
What is pop-up exactly.....can you please tell the description !
manual valuation pop up to accept/ reject the result for each of the inspection characteristics. transaction code QA32. i have something like 20-30 insp characteristics to be valuated and for each there is a POP up appearing.
a pop window - saying. make a decision and you have to select either of the radio button- accept/ reject.
Its very much depends upon the "Valuation mode "selected in the sampling procedure.
Check sampling procedure and make sure that its not "Manual valaution " .
Also note that whatever valuation you select in SP & data you enter in result recording ,system should be able to determine the valuation of the mic automatically
i indeed verfied all these settings as i have been following the similar online threads but no sucess so far.
i have made comparision with the plant that has automatic valuation and it matches interm of settings and characteristics parameters, but still the pop up.
1. plant setting is 'no b/g fn.
2. all of my valuation codes are automatic and there is no manual one in sampling procedure.
3. In QP03 - i changes the sampling procedure for the insp char also but no sucess.
i have been working on this for quiet a while and its furstrating that i'm unable to find the catch.
your suggestion on this would be highly appreciate.
Also refer one of the recent thread
In config:
Quality Management-->Basic Settings-->Maintain Settings at Plant Level
On the tab for Results Recording, check the value for "Recording Configuration". You might have "Automatic close" for your other plants and "No background function" for your new plant.
The other possibility is that you created your users differently in the new plant. You can set up the recording configuration as a user parameter. However I suspect this is not the problem, but it could be a possibility.
could you please elaborate this "The other possibility is that you created your users differently in the new plant"
i'm not expert on QM so if you could mention the transaction codes?
i checked SU3 for parameter ID QAE, QAN, and QAS in the user parameter SU3 and they all are marked X already.
Check out page 23 here: http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/QMIMRR/QMIMRR.pdf
Then also check out this explanation of setting personal PID's.
If the users have been set up with any of these PID's in their accounts, it can affect how the automatic close is done.
The reason I said this is probably not the problem, is that a particular user, (such as your own account), should see the same behavior in ALL plants. So if you see two different behaviors in the two plants while using the same login account, than the user parameters are not the issue.
However, you could as a "fix" give all the users one of the PID's described in the link such as QAE.
The auto valuation and close will not function if the sampling procedure is incorrect or if the data recorded does not allow the system to make clear cut choice of accepted or rejected.
One other thing to check. Are you using the same characteristics across all plants? Or did you create new MIC's in the new plant? If you created new ones, make sure the scope indicator is set to "fixed scope". Auto valuation cannot be done when the other scope choices are used.
i checked sample procedure and its ok. i even replaced it with the one used for other plants (which works ok in other plant) but still the POP up.
i tested the characteristics which is also used for other plant and it gave pop up.
Scope indicator is already FIXED.
this is furstrating because i analzed all the recommended setting and still this pop up is bugging me.
many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
i'm apparently CLOSE to it. please suggest further.
for the same plant i saw some other characterictics with automatic results input - that is no POP up appears for them. but for specific characteristics there is manual POP up prompt window.
Is that related to MIC or any other master data i'm missing ??
i tried with all of these PID's mentioned and it still remains.
Are you using SPC sampling procedures? I have had this happen before only with characteristics that had SPC sampling procedures.
yes we use sampling procedure- please elaborate if you're asking something specific as i'm novice in QM.
LK LIQ Blk Liq
CHEMICAL Chemical

DFNUM Domino - numeric, automatic

INSPOINT Inspoint
LOT COPY Lot Copy
MICRO Micro
RAWSUGAR Raw Sugar
STATS Stats
SPC stands for "Statistical Process Control" and is e.g. reflected by valuation mode 800 in your sampling procedures.
i even changed the sampling proc to the one that had the material not prompting for manual valuation-transaction QP02 but it didnt worked.
i had the same scenario kindly change the valuation type and sampling type
try by using sampling type percentage and valuation type manual or valuation acc to chara attributes
the similar attributed exists for other plant, but when i do RR for this of my plant its manual valuation.
FYI, we have auto valuaiton for all US plants and for non- US (recently created) this exists for some of the characteristics/ ,materials - few other material/ char in this plant are automatically valuated. so i wonder if this is master data related and if yes then where is the missing link ?
please suggest.
ok, I have somefindings on this.
due to out rollout project most of the QM master data was imported to our new system and for that master data its prompting MANUAL POP UP, but if we copy master data and create the same data manually then its there are no POP-up.
i duplicated the MIC's and manually created another one to do RR and the one imported shows POP up and the one manually created via copying is OK.
so my question is what table/ transaction can i compare my the missing links ?
QPMK it the table with the MIC info in it. You may also need to look the MIC's as they appear in the inspection plan. That would be table PLMK.
And finally you'll want to see how the MIC values are stored once the results are recorded. That data would be in table QAMR. Spec data is in QAMV.
If you record multiple results for the same charac you need to look at QASE.
If you use inspection points or physical samples then you'll need to look at QAPP or QASR respectively.
Depending on exactly what you are doing and what type of recording and MIC you are using, there could be some other tables involved but these should get you started.

A Divorce Waiting to Happen: Franklin Roosevelt and the Law of Neutrality, 1935-1941
Aaron Xavier Fellmeth
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Buffalo Journal of International Law, Vol. 3, pp. 413-517, 1996
Between 1934 and 1941, Congress passed several joint resolutions designed to curtail the President's powers to send aid to victims of fascist aggression. Franklin D. Roosevelt publicly supported the early Neutrality Acts. Beginning in 1939, Roosevelt began voicing his fears in public that legislation limiting his powers might have the effect of dragging the country into war rather than keeping it out.
This Article analyzes how Roosevelt violated the Neutrality Acts and the Constitution prior to the implementation of the 1941 Lend-Lease Act. This Article is the first comprehensive attempt to analyze the legality and constitutionality of Roosevelt's foreign affairs policy. The upshot of the clash between public or congressional shortsightedness on the one hand, and Roosevelt's almost clairvoyant understanding of the intentions of the fascists and his irreverence for the law on the other hand, was that Roosevelt did not consistently obey either the letter or spirit of American neutrality laws and the Constitution. The vital issues raised by Roosevelt's conduct of foreign affairs recur frequently in United States political and constitutional debates. These issues include the President's constitutional power to dispose of military arms and vessels; the relative control under the Constitution of Congress and the President over foreign relations (embracing commerce, foreign aid, recognition of foreign belligerency, neutrality, and war); the status of American neutrality legislation and policy; and the issue of proper statutory interpretation. This Article examines these issues in detail by reviewing Roosevelt's implementation of United States neutrality law from 1935 until 1941.

Safety First! How to Sign Up for Two-Step Verification on 11 Top Online Services
The "Heartbleed" bug, an encryption flaw that could expose usernames and passwords stored on about two-thirds of Internet servers, has given the Web-surfing world cause for concern and plenty of password changes. But there's another step you should always take where possible to keep yourself safe online: two-step verification.
Two-step verification is offered by just about every major Web service nowadays (with exceptions for Amazon and AOL, and a few financial institutions, all who should get working on that ASAP). When you've activated it, and there's never a reason not to, you'll be prompted to enter a special code—generally sent via text message—whenever you (or someone else) attempts to log in to your account from an unknown device. Some services even let you set it to require a code at every single login, though that probably isn't necessary.
With two-factor authentication activated, if someone steals your password, they won't be able to use just that to get into your online accounts. While this doesn't mean you're totally and completely covered forever—bugs like Heartbleed can theoretically allow for other kinds of security backdoors that nullify even this security measure—it absolutely makes you safer.
Three quick tips, first:
- Depending on how often you'll use it, you may want to make sure you have unlimited text messaging on your cellular plan.
- In cases where a carrier doesn't support two-step verification (rare in the U.S. but more prevalent internationally), there are often alternatives you can choose that use email, voice calls, smartphone apps or even security "dongle" keychains instead. Check with your online service for those options.
- These services will never ask you for passwords or login information via text message. They will only give you codes to enter into websites you're already knowingly logging into. If you get a text message asking for account information, it's probably a fraud attempt.
Here's how you can activate two-step verification on 11 of the most popular online services. (Note: The measure is called different names by various companies, and we have labeled those names below. It's handy to know the term, especially if you need to follow up with a service's tech support.)
Google – 2-Step Verification
Go to google.com/2step and click the blue button in the upper right corner that reads "Get Started." You'll be prompted to enter in your Google account username and password. From there, Google will take you through a step-by-step process where you can decide if you want your verification code by way of text message or a voice call.
Once you set up two-factor authentication on any one Google service, it applies to all others: Gmail, Google+, YouTube, Google Maps, etc.
Yahoo – Second Sign-In Verification
Log into your account at yahoo.com and hover your cursor over your square profile photo in the upper right corner. A drop down menu will appear—click "Account Settings." Next, click on the section called "Account Info." Scroll down to a section called "Sign-In and Security." You'll see a link that reads "Set up your second sign-in verification."
Click it, and you'll be taken through a process of submitting your phone number to receive a two-step verification code by text message. Yahoo also allows you to set up security questions you can answer if you don't have your phone available.
Apple – Two-Step Verification
Go to appleid.apple.com and click on a blue box to the right that reads "Manage Your Apple ID." Next, log in with your Apple ID—this is the same login you use with iCloud, iTunes, the App Store and any other Apple service. On the left, you'll see a link that reads "Passwords and Security"—click this link.
You'll have to answer two security questions tied to your Apple ID account, but once you do, a new section called "Manage Your Security Settings" will appear. Just below that is a link to set up two-step verification. Click "Get Started," and Apple will take you through a process of entering your phone number for text message codes. You'll also get to set up a "recovery key," a unique password you can use if your phone is out of reach.
Microsoft – Two-Step Verification
Go to login.live.com and log in with your Microsoft account, the same credentials used to sign into Windows 8 PCs and tablets, Windows Phones, Xbox Live, Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail) and OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive).
Once logged in, you'll see an overview page of your Microsoft account. To the left, you'll see a link to a section called "Security Info"—click this link. To the right, you'll see a link that reads "Set Up Two-Step Verification." Click that, then click "Next" and follow the step-by-step process.
Facebook – Login Approvals
Log into Facebook's website, and all the way to the right, in the blue menu bar up top, click the downward facing arrow—a menu will appear. In this menu you'll see "Settings"—click it. On the left side, you'll see a gold badge with the word "security" next to it—click that. To the right, you'll now see a section called "Login Approvals." Check the "Require a security code" box, and a step-by-step process will begin.
Facebook is a bit different however in how it sends you unique codes: Sometimes it will text you a security code, and sometimes it'll require you to go into the Facebook mobile app on iOS or Android to retrieve a code in the apps "Code Generator." Please note, it's hidden toward the bottom of the app's user menu, so wherever you are, click "More" and then scroll down.
Twitter – Login Verification
log in at twitter.com then click on the gear icon in the upper right corner to get to your account settings. On the left side, you'll then see a menu with a link to "Security and Privacy." Click it and you'll see a section under the "Security" header called "Login Verification."
Here you decide to either send unique codes to your phone via text message, or through an approval prompt sent to you from Twitter's iOS or Android apps. Select either option by clicking the button to the left of the choice you want, and Twitter will take you through the rest in a step-by-step process.
LinkedIn – Two-Step Verification
Once you're logged in at linkedin.com, hover over your profile photo in the upper-right corner and a drop-down menu will appear. Click on "Privacy and Settings." Toward the bottom of the menu, you'll see the word "Account." Once you click that, you'll see "Security Settings" on your right. Click that and you're taken to a new page with a section called "Two-Step Verification for Sign-In."
You can turn two-step on or off—by default, it is off. Once you click "Turn On," you'll be asked to enter in your phone number, then a verification code will be sent to your phone. Enter the code online, click verify, and voila, you're done.
PayPal and eBay – Security Keys
After logging into paypal.com, you'll see a link to "Security and Protection" in the upper right corner, near a search box. Click this link. You'll be taken to a new page—scroll down to the bottom, and click on a link to the left that reads "PayPal Security Key."
When you click this link, scroll to the bottom of the subsequent page, which explains how two-factor authentication works, then click on "Go to register your mobile phone." On the next page, you'll enter in your phone number and agree to PayPal's terms of service. Once you do that, you'll receive a security code on your phone via text message to confirm the setup, and you're good to go.
PayPal's parent company, EBay, uses the PayPal Security Key as its two-step authentication method as well.
Bank of America – SafePass
Log into your Bank of America account at bofa.com, look up to the top right corner on the red banner, and hover over the link to "Profile & Settings." A drop-down menu will appear—click on the link "SafePass settings."
You'll then see a red button at the center of the page that reads "Add SafePass." Click it and you can add one or more numbers for verification, and select whether you want SafePass to kick in only during significant financial transactions, or for every bank login.
Wells Fargo – Advanced Access Codes
Log into wellsfargo.com, head to "Account Services," click on a link to "My Profile" and then click on a link that reads "Manage Advanced Access." From here, you can set a mobile, home and work phone. The verification codes would then be sent via text or voice call.
Chase – Identification Code
Log into chase.com, and if you don't have an "Identification Code" already set up, the service should prompt you. If you aren't sure, you can follow the link to the "Customer Center" and click on the link for "Contact Update." Once here, you can update your address, phone number and email, which should be used to transmit the code. New Chase users are prompted to set up their "Identification Code" as part of enrollment.
For this project, we also attempted to activate two-factor verification on services from Citibank, AOL and Amazon, but were unable to find options to do so. Check back from time to time, as we will update this piece as more major online services get onboard.

Taylor Swift is a self-professed Kennedy fanatic, but apparently the fandom runs both ways.
"She's awesome," Rory Kennedy, aunt of the singer's new beau, Conor Kennedy, said Wednesday at the Television Critics Association summer tour in Beverly Hills. "She's a great friend of all of ours."
Rory spoke out at an HBO panel for Ethel, the documentary she directed about the life of her mother, Kennedy matriarch Ethel Kennedy.
The Grammy winner first befriended the Kennedy clan when Rory took her two daughters Georgia, 9, and Bridget, 8, to one of Swift's concerts.
"Rory went to a concert with her two little girls, and that's what started it all: her children," revealed Ethel Kennedy.
And should the budding romance between Swift, 22, and Conor, 18, heat up, would the country star make a good addition to the famous clan?
"We should be so lucky," said Ethel.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
September 19, 2012
An article by Fr. Rene Kollar, O.S.B., dean of the Saint Vincent College School of Humanities and Fine Arts and professor of history, "Fr. Sydney Fenn Smith, S.J., and His Response to a 'Rescued Nun' Story. An Episode in Nineteenth Century English Roman Catholicism," appears in the current issue of Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu, the publication of the Jesuit Historical Institute based in Rome. "Anti-Catholicism was prevalent in 19th century England especially as the numbers of Catholics increased and in the minds of some threatened the Protestant character of the nation," Fr. Rene commented. "Sisterhoods, which had been the object of scorn and suspicion since the 18th century, were characterized as inhuman institutions where the nuns suffered physical punishments and loss of liberty. A convert to Roman Catholicism, Fr. Sydney Fenn Smith, S.J., defended sisterhoods against this prejudice in his writings. The allegations of a so-called 'rescued' nun immediately caught his attention. Edith Gorman claimed that she had been 'rescued' from the horrors of a French convent, and soon began to travel throughout England denouncing sisterhoods. Fr. Smith responded and discredited her accusations. He demanded proof to substantiate Ms. Gorman's claims, and through his efforts the stories of Ms. Gorman were exposed as exaggerated falsehoods which eventually undermined her influence on English public opinion." In addition, Fr. Rene's book review of Octavia, Daughter of God: The Story of a Female Messiah and Her Followers by Jane Shaw was published in the fall 2012 issue of The Historian.

Philip Tobin, Chris Harper and Daniel Willett have been named assistant baseball coaches at Summerville High School, head coach Banks Faulkner announced July 2.
I couldnt be more excited about adding these three coaches to our staff, Faulkner said. They will all have a big impact on our program and they all bring different things to the table.
Tobin joins the staff after serving as head coach at Pinewood Prep the past four seasons. He led the Panthers to the SCISA AAA state championship in 2012 and earned Region 3 Coach of the Year honors after leading Pinewood Prep to region titles in 2012 and 2014. In 2012, he was named the SCISA Statewide Coach of the Year by the S.C. High School Sports Report and earned the Lowcountry Coach of the Year award from the Charleston Post and Courier/Charleston RiverDogs.
Tobin, who prepped at Stall High School, was a member of The Citadels 1990 College World Series team while earning four letters from 1988 to 1991. He helped the Bulldogs to three Southern Conference titles (1990 regular season and tournament championships and the 1991 regular season crown).
Phil Tobin has been an extremely successful head coach and also played on some of the best teams in the history of The Citadel, Faulkner said. Our philosophies are very similar. Hes big on fundamentals and playing the game the right way. He is also someone I can lean on and share ideas with. We are really fortunate to have him with us.
Harper, who played at Newberry College (2010-13), joins the Green Wave staff after serving as an assistant varsity coach last season at Brookland-Cayce, where he worked with hitters and catchers.
As a player, Harper helped Lexington High School to Region 5-AAAA titles in 2008 and 2009. As a senior he hit .400 with 12 doubles and played in the North-South High School All-Star game and earned all-state honors from the S.C. High School Sports Report.
Chris Harper is one of the brightest young coaches I have been around, Faulkner said. He is just full of energy and loves to teach the game. He has a passion for baseball that I love. He is someone as a young coach who will be able to relate to our players because of his experiences. Chris has a bright future ahead of him.
Willett was a standout pitcher at Wando High School, where he played for coach Faulkner in 2011. As a senior in 2012, Willett posted a 5-2 record and a 0.88 ERA and was named all-region.
Daniel Willett played for me and impressed me working our camps with his ability to relate to young people, Faulkner said. I feel like he is going to be an outstanding coach. He will work with the younger pitchers in our program and will really help in their development.

A Suffolk County con man was sentenced Monday to 3½ to seven years in prison for a scam that cost a retired Suffolk County school teacher $25,000.
Angel Maldonado, 39, was sentenced for third-degree grand larceny. A jury convicted him of conning the retired teacher into believing a fictitious Buffalo lawyer named "Magic Mike" could get her son freed from prison. The elderly victim mailed $25,000 in money orders in 2010.
Maldonado was imprisoned in Cayuga Correctional Facility at the time of the scam, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
"There is nothing to lead me to sentence you to anything other than the maximum sentence," said State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia.
Maldonado noticed the victim visiting her jailed son, and he got her address and phone number. After the retired teacher sent money to an address in Buffalo, she contacted Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III.
Trial prosecutor Candace K. Vogel asked the judge to order restitution as part of the sentence.
"He doesn't agree to the restitution," Giovanni Genovese, Maldonado's defense lawyer, told the judge during sentencing, explaining that Maldonado said he did not receive the money.
"He was responsible for the loss of the $25,000," Vogel countered, regardless of whether he spent the money.
The judge ordered restitution of $25,000. A civil judgment for that amount will be recorded in Erie and Suffolk counties, Vogel said.
Maldonado was previously imprisoned for convictions of scheme to defraud, grand larceny, bribing a witness and tampering with physical evidence.

Two felons face charges over the alleged illegal sale of a handgun to an undercover Altoona police officer.
William B. Bush, 18, of 1200 14th Ave., Apt. 1, Room 1, was arrested by waiting Altoona police officers just after 8 p.m. Wednesday after he allegedly sold a seven-shot, .22-caliber revolver and a box of ammunition for $80, according to police.
During questioning, Bush allegedly told police he bought the gun and bullets earlier Wednesday from another man, Stanley C. Nail, 55, of 1419 12th St. for $50, arrest papers show.
Both men have felony records for burglary convictions and are prohibited from owning a gun, police said.
The handgun is not registered and was bought by Nail about six years ago, police said. Nail allegedly told investigating officers he bought the gun from a man he didn't know and paid about $30 for it.
Bush allegedly acknowledged he was not allowed to own a gun as he sat with the undercover officer in a parked car outside Bush's apartment building, court records indicate.
Bush had the gun concealed in a wash cloth in his pocket and unwrapped the revolver and placed it on the center console of the vehicle, telling the officer he bought it "from a guy up the hill" but wanted to get rid of it since he wasn't allowed to own a firearm, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
After money and the gun were exchanged, Bush stepped out of the vehicle and was taken into custody, police said. Bush allegedly told officers he bought the handgun from Nail and after police questioned Nail, he allegedly admitted selling it to Bush earlier in the day.
Bush was jailed Thursday morning after failing to the post $20,000 cash bail set by Magisterial District Judge Fred B. Miller.
Bush is charged with illegal possession of a gun by a felon, carrying a firearm without a license, violating the 48-hour waiting period, selling a gun without a license and possession of a small amount of marijuana.
Nail is charged with illegal possession of a gun by a felon, violating the 48-hour waiting period and selling a firearm without a license. He was taken to Blair County Prison in lieu of 10 percent of $20,000 bail.
Preliminary hearings are scheduled for Wednesday in Central Court.

Rippon is the only one with no quad planned in SP. No one is planning a combo with 3A, most of rest planned combos are 3L-3T except for Adam and Adrei- 3F-3T.
The men (and the ladies, now that 3A is recognized as the solo axel requirement for ladies as well) aren't allowed to do 3A combos since it's the solo requirement, I believe.
Visiting a school in Sendai! Although we went to their school to cheer the kids on, the kids ended up being the ones who inspired us. They have done an incredible job rebuilding their city http://instagr.am/p/SWI9o7i5Xa/

Bravo to the kids for their resilience.
Seems that Nagasu was able to channel the inspiration that they gave her into her SP.
deedee, are/were you in Sendai attending NHK in person? Or at home glued to a screen with cold sweats and nerves on edge all the same? Either way, thanks as always for your posts.
Silly off-topic questions for you (if you happen to know the answers):
Is "domo arigato" the origin of the mascot's name "Domo"? And who is the other mascot? https://twitter.com/Max_Settlage/sta...89728684638208
There is a Japanese channel on some Comcasts & on my tiny cable provider. It is carrying NHK, but unfortunately, I didn't even know it existed until this week. I have to figure out how much it will cost me to get it in time for the JGPF
You are right about the origin of 'Domo', I think. The other characters are named: Usajii and Ta-chan.

Johnson County 911 operators need your help to stop cellphone pocket dialing.
Dispatchers said 911 misdialing is a growing problem.
One operator received multiple calls from the same number.
"This is the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. We've received three calls from this number on 911. It sounded like a pocket dial. If you have an emergency please dial 911," said a dispatcher from a 911 recording.
Authorities ask that you simply lock your phone so you don't pocket dial 911 by mistake.

Sumi Executive Director/Vice President, Client Implementation Operations Division, Seoul
The facilities and culture at Goldman Sachs grant me more flexibility in managing my life.
In 1990, I graduated from a Korean university. After working in other industry for 7 years, from 1997 I began work in the finance industry. In 2000, I was offered an operations manager position with a European securities office in Seoul and one year later, I was promoted to COO. In 2006, a search firm approached me to work at Goldman Sachs as a project manager and I started here in February 2007.
The Interview Process
Goldman Sachs spends time and effort when interviewing their candidates. My interview process lasted nine months and during that time I met with many people in the firm. My advice would be to use this time to begin networking, ask questions and learn about the Goldman Sachs culture.
Getting Started at Goldman Sachs
From Day 1, my hiring manager helped me get situated without even knowing my concerns. She assigned me with a peer buddy who showed me the Goldman Sachs culture and shared her experiences with me. My manager also allowed me to start in the Hong Kong global office where I got to meet all the managers in the region. During that time, I was able to build some essential networks that allowed me to start navigating within the firm.
In addition to the arrangements made by my manager, there were several helpful tools that were made available to me. Periodic follow-up emails, hiring training and orientation helped me adjust to working here.
Working in Operations
As an operations manager, I ask questions in order to solve issues. Often times, other managers and I brainstorm and collaborate with relevant groups to efficiently achieve our desired results.
Career Development
When I joined Goldman Sachs in 2007, I was involved in building new products. I became Manager of Operations in 2008 for Goldman Sachs International Bank, Seoul Branch . In 2009, I became Manager of Koreas Operations in Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C, Seoul Branch. In 2011, I relocated to the US to manage client due diligence in American operations.
We were building a new product, our IT developer approached me two days before completion with a challenging issue. Working together with my colleague in the finance team, we translated the necessary documents into a software program for our IT to implement. As a result, we were able to launch as planned.
Affinity Networks
I am part of the Asia-Pacific Operations Network and I co-lead the Career Development pillar. Through this affinity network, I gain many new insights, learn how to better handle challenges and network, both with my peer groups who are out of my daily reach and with senior leaders in the organization. I also get to participate in creating and driving programs, demonstrating my leadership capabilities.
In prior firms, I was always classified as a manager who was useful only to a specific region. But working at Goldman Sachs has allowed me to seek opportunities and experiences in areas outside of Korea.
I have always wanted to gain broader personal experiences and at the same time expose my family to more diversified cultures as they grow up. With the support of Goldman Sachs, we have been given the chance to experience life in the US. I will use this opportunity to learn as much as possible.
My four years at Goldman Sachs have never been dull, as I have been constantly faced with new challenges. I've worked on many projects such as licensing, product builds and system rollouts. Each one helped me to be proud of my team and proud of myself.
My proudest moment came with my first project. There was a lot of collaboration with multiple departments. My part in the project was not big, but I was able to build some credit, network and learn the culture of the firm.
Family Life
Earlier in my career, I would work long hours and study during nights and weekends to enhance my knowledge of finance. I received great support from my family during that time. But soon after, I realized that my family needed me. I then began to split my hours between my family and my work.
Joining Goldman Sachs allowed me the flexibility to manage both my family life and my work life. The culture here allows us to attend to both areas of life through training and sharing our experiences. So, I think I am juggling much better now.
Giving Back
Programs like 10,000 Small Businesses which helps to create jobs and promotes economic growth and 10,000 Women which provides business training to women entrepreneurs..
Teamwork is the most valuable trait I look for in an applicant. For Goldman Sachs employees, I recommend staying curious, being open to challenges and keep asking questions.

The first mistake every event seems to make is to "get the local talent" for WHATEVER event they have. Just like in Detroit, where we wheel out the Temptations or Kid Rock for every event we can. And if we can't, we get the Romantics or Anita Baker, because they're FROM here. How about getting someone who is RIGHT FOR THE EVENT?
I HATE Nickelback and I want them all to go away as soon as humanly possible, but they would be better for this event than CLAY FREAKIN AIKEN? Isn't Hootie from that area? Dave Matthews? ANYONE else?
I'd love to see the Stooges and the White Stripes playing a show in Detroit. Those are some seriously influential groups. I don't know why people think Kid Rock is so good. He's awful, and everything he touches is s***.

FAU College of Engineering and Computer Science Dedicates its New Green Building
RATON, FL (November 17, 2010)
Florida Atlantic University's College of Engineering and
Computer Science dedicated its new facility on Friday, November 5,
at FAU's Boca Raton campus. The innovative,
97,000-square-foot, living-learning laboratory is the first newly
constructed academic building in southeast Florida to be designed
and built to U.S. Green Building Council LEED® (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum level standards –
the highest level in the Green Building Rating System™.
"This living-learning laboratory and showcase for green practices and technologies provides a strong foundation for our College's broad educational and research efforts to advance the principles of sustainability through the multiple communities we serve," said Karl K. Stevens, Ph.D., dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Along with Stevens, also participating in the dedication were FAU President Mary Jane Saunders; Dennis Crudele, senior vice president for financial affairs at FAU; and State Senator Jeremy Ring. Also in attendance were Marleen Forkas, FAU Foundation board member; Pete LoBello, FAU Foundation board member; Armand Grossman, FAU Board of Trustees member; Susan Whelchel, City of Boca Raton mayor; Susan Haynie, City of Boca Raton deputy mayor; Troy McLellan, The Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce president; Bill Hager, State Representative; and Lori Berman, State Representative.
The high-performance facility will place FAU, the College, as well as its surrounding communities at the national forefront of energy conservation and environmental stewardship efforts while acting as a catalyst for the creation of more sustainable infrastructures. The dynamic space includes classrooms, teaching labs, meeting rooms, study and workstations, reading lounges, food service venues and recreational/entertainment areas.
The building will serve as an important showcase for "green" buildings, system design strategies and sustainable building management practices. "Engineering on display" is visible throughout the building by way of touch-screen components allowing access to real-time data collected by sensors and online systems, which will be infused into sustainability research projects and courses offered within the College.
Construction waste from the project was recycled, and renewable building products and materials were purchased and/or used from within a 500-mile radius of the Boca Raton campus. Building features that assisted in it being built to Platinum certification include a server room where waste heat is captured to control water temperatures for the chilled beam system; high-efficiency lighting systems partnered with solar hot water heating and a 54 KW photovoltaic array; highly reflective "cool roofs" which reduce solar heat gain to the building's interior, reducing cooling requirements; and a roof garden, exhibiting native plants irrigated with condensation collected into a cistern from the air conditioning system.
An appropriation of $43 million from the state's Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) program funded the facility. In addition, a $50,000 planning grant for sustainable design was received from The Kresge Foundation Green Building Initiative.
Leo A. Daly was the architect for the project, and construction was handled by James A. Cummings, Inc., a Perini Corporation.

location was good
stuffy rooms, no AC.. 90 degree's that weekend ...fan did not cut it
location, location, location!
Needs remodel
Newly renovated, this hotel is right in the middle of town and just around the corner from the entrance to the beach. March's Free Museum, a fun collection of oddities, antiques and trinkets to buy, is just next door. Breakfast is good, the staff is excellent and wifi is included.
Free breakfast waffles and coffee. OJ, first come first served.
Not enough light in the room. Nice table to sit at and read or play a game but you won't be able to see. I told the manager (friendly fellow) that my cable was out and the entry light was burned out and he fixed one of the two. It's so dark in there I needed a flashlight to operate the microwave. First motel I've stayed at with no carpet. Nice hi def tv but low def cable service so it's a fuzzy picture. Soap dispensers in shower and lav but I prefer a good old bar of soap. Other than that, a great place to stay for the money.
I have nothing good to say about this hotel.
The first room had no heat. It was pouring rain and cold. The gal from the front desk tried for about 20 mins. to get the heat to work, then moved us to another room. We had come for the night razor clam tide. After they moved us to another room we left for the beach to dig for clams. After 3 hours on the beach we came back to our room to shower and get warm. My friend said come look at this, and on the pillow was a bed bug. We pulled up the mattress and found a few scattering. We packed our things, called the front desk and the manager wouldn't let us in the lobby area. When the manager finally opened the door he was so confrontational about the situation and said there are no bed bugs. We had one in a zip lock bag and pictures, he yelled get out of my hotel! Challenging us, said to get off his property! and was not going to give us a refund, OR let us get our bags out of the room. We had to call 911. The officers told him if he didn't let us get our things he would be charged with theft. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!
This hotel has a lot going for it: stylish "repurposed industrial" decor, hard floors (no skeevy carpet), excellent restaurant, located right on the beach, close to the downtown strip. There are board games snd bikes to borrow in the lobby, as well as really good coffee (a rarity in hotels). Most of the clientele are twenty-somethings, but there are families and older couples too.
The biggest problem was the fickle hot water, which ran both really hot and really cold many times during a shower. We also seemed to have the misfortune of being in the one room with a permanently fogged over window (it has some sort of calcium build up on it), but the rest of the windows seem fine. No air conditioning or breakfast.
We stayed at Adrift with our 2 children aged 3 and 7 for just one night however we were in Long Beach for 2 full days. We arrived early the first day to check in and although I was told the room wouldn't be ready for a little while, I was told I was welcome to the amenities offered in the lobby and "Pickled Fish" which is the restaurant upstairs.
There are many options for amenities here and many are fun and free! We had to option to borrow bicycles (although not child size so this is an adult only option), borrow dvds, board games, or puzzles, or get some coffee, tea, ice waters (flavored with orange slices or lime slices when we were there!). They also had a small snack/boutique area in which we had the ability to purchase some of the amazing soaps and lotions that they offer in the rooms, snacks, and if on a romantic evening some lovely wines. Oh, and we were also informed they have a ping pong table and another table game upstairs from the lobby that we could use if we wished.
We also noticed they have pet friendly rooms. Our TV was small but really...we were at the beach and although our view was somewhat obstructed by the parking lot, it was still a beautiful view of the beach. They recycle! They provide a list of amenities and guidelines in the rooms so that you know what is offered and what to expect if you decide you like the amazing soaps and take them from the room vs purchasing them from the lobby. I made sure to buy some from the lobby :) Overall, for the price this hotel was well worth it.
The original key that we received for our room did not appear to work, however when I spoke with staff they stated that I may need to "jiggle it and treat the door roughly sort of like an old door or lock" I think this was the only frustrating aspect of the hotel because when you are carrying a arms full of stuff from kids or clamming, you don't really want to have to mess with the door in this way.
Our room was a waterfront view second story. It was clean and comfortable. It could have used a kitchen sink as there was none. The hide-a-bed in the living room was used just to watch a movie from and it was not very comfortable but the bed in the bedroom was quite comfortable.
location, comfy bed
could have been cleaner, needs some updating , cheap feel
It was warm and dry
The beds were hard and the smell was overwhelming
Pretty much everything. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was beautiful and charming.
Wish they offered rooms with king sizwe beds.
Comfort and no television.
Did not like the shower, and could have used some more comfortable chairs on the balcony. The plastic ones did not really fit with the rest of the hotel's accommodations.
Hands down the greatest hotel experience of my life! The innkeeper went above and beyond to ensure my friends and I had the best possible time and were taken care of in every capacity. I have never experienced this level of customer service and cannot wait to go back! I highly recommend The Inn at Harbour Village to anybody that wants a reasonably priced getaway where you feel right at home. Thanks again for everything Skot and Newt!
Til next time,
it was clean and close to everything

At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

We recently read with interest the article "Case-Control Analysis of Cochlear Implant Performance in Elderly Patients" by Friedland et al.1 It is our opinion that, despite the title, the study did not use a case-control design because of the longitudinal aspect of the study. Also, patients were not selected according to the outcome of interest, as is the procedure for a case-control study; instead, patients were selected with respect to age, a possible exposure category. The selection criteria suggest that the study actually used a cohort study design, with one-half of the analysis a basic cohort analysis and the other half a matched cohort analysis, with patients matched on duration of deafness and preimplantation Hearing in Noise Test–Quiet (HINT-Q) score.

T.J. Brandt has accomplished just about everything he could ask of himself as a wrestler in his four stellar seasons at Altoona Area High School.
Brandt became Altoona's all-time winningest wrestler this past February, and boasts 123 career victories entering this weekend's PIAA Class AAA state tournament at Hershey's Giant Center.
Brandt became Altoona's first-ever four-time District 6-AAA champion this season, and he captured his second Northwest AAA Regional title last weekend.

Mirror file photo
T.J. Brandt will wrestle at states this weekend as an Altoona Mountain Lion.
The only thing missing from Brandt's trophy case is a placewinner's medal in the state tournament, and he stands a good chance of obtaining one at this weekend's event, which begins Thursday and wraps up Saturday.
In fact, Brandt stands a decent chance of winning the 138-pound state championship.
"It's my final year, and I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain,'' Brandt said. "Having been down there three times before is very important. I'm familiar with the atmosphere, and I know what I need to do to succeed.''
Brandt will have a large and friendly contingent of teammates accompanying him to Hershey this year. Seniors Mante Barnes (195) and Austin Rosenberry (285), along with sophomore D.J. Hollingshead (132) - all of whom qualified for states by finishing third in their weight classes at the Northwest AAA Regional - comprise Altoona's largest group of state wrestling qualifiers in recent or distant memory.
"These kids have worked real hard this year, and I'm happy for them,'' Altoona coach Joel Gilbert said. "They've bought into our coaching system, and it paid off at the regional. Our guys came in with an attitude, and they wrestled hard.''
Hollidaysburg senior Matt Barton (285 pounds) and Philipsburg-Osceola senior Jay Prentice (170) will also represent this area at Class AAA states. Barton finished second in the regional and Prentice was third.
Both Rosenberry and Barnes saluted the coaching and preparation they received this season.
Rosenberry won four straight consolation matches at the regional to punch his ticket to states.
"If it wasn't for the coaching I got here, I don't think I'd have been able to do it,'' he said. "It's going to be a good time going to states with my teammates. We want to go down there and prove to the rest of the state what we can do.''
The right mental attitude will be important, especially for those making their first appearances at Hershey. The five other Class AAA state qualifiers accompanying Brandt are all in that boat.
"I hope I can succeed down there and hopefully place,'' Rosenberry said. "I know I have to take one match at a time. I can't be overconfident, and I also can't be stressed out about it.''
Barton, who will enter states with a 27-4 season record and a District 6-AAA championship under his belt, agrees.
"Everybody at states has placed high in their regional,'' he said. "I don't want to be overconfident. I don't consider myself as having any kind of an edge.''
Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore considers Barton's approach to be a suitable one.
"Matt has a really good demeanor,'' Moore said. "He got the opportunity to go down to the state tournament and watch it last year, and to get a feel for the atmosphere.''
That atmosphere can be daunting for a first-time qualifier.
"I'm excited to go,'' Prentice said after winning four straight consolation matches at the regional to qualify for states.
Barnes is hoping to place.
"I want to win two matches down there and get a medal,'' he said. "I think I'm capable of that.''
Hollingshead doesn't think he'll feel any pressure in his first appearance at states.
"I have nothing to lose,'' he said. "I just want to wrestle as hard as I can every match, and maybe catch a few people off-guard.''

A Chicago Theater Company is Born
In January of 1974, in Highland Park, Illinois, Rick Argosh and Leslie Wilson approached their former high school classmate Gary Sinise about staging a production of Paul Zindel's And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little. Sinise had recently graduated from high school, and Rick and Leslie had one semester remaining. Steppenwolf co-founders Jeff Perry and Gary Sinise had met and become friends at Highland Park High School. Jeff was then attending college at Illinois State University where he had met co-founder Terry Kinney.
Gary agreed to be in the production of Miss Reardon, and sought out a space where he, Rick and Leslie could produce the play. Through a family friend, Gary secured the rights to perform in a Unitarian church on Half Day Road in Deerfield, Illinois, and the trio staged the inaugural production of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. The name Steppenwolf came from the book by Herman Hesse, which Argosh was reading at the time.
Three more plays were produced that year under this first incarnation of Steppenwolf. Grease, which Sinise would produce, direct and act in; The Glass Menagerie, which Argosh directed with Sinise appearing as Tom; and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, also directed by Argosh, which was the first teaming of Terry Kinney, Jeff Perry and Gary Sinise, Steppenwolf's three founders. During this production, in June of 1974, Kinney, Perry, and Sinise decided that when Kinney and Perry finished college they would find a permanent space and start a professional resident ensemble theater company.
In 1975, Steppenwolf incorporated as a non-profit in 1975 and produced one play that summer, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds. In the summer of 1976, with a newly formed ensemble that included Terry Kinney, Jeff Perry, Gary Sinise, H.E. Baccus, Nancy Evans, Moira Harris, John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf and Alan Wilder, the company took up residence in the Immaculate Conception Catholic school in Highland Park and produced its first season of plays. In 1980 the company moved from Highland Park to the city of Chicago and expanded the ensemble.
Over the course of the 1980s, the company continued to expand, producing plays that went on to receive national and international attention. In 1991, Steppenwolf built its current theater at 1650 North Halsted Street in Chicago. Steppenwolf has now grown into a company which includes forty-four ensemble members, whose strengths include acting, directing, playwriting, and textual adaptation. Now in its fourth decade as a professional theater company, Steppenwolf has received unprecedented national and international recognition, including a series of Tony Awards, and The National Medal of Arts. View a full timeline of notable, events, productions and awards at Steppenwolf.
