The latest accounts for Teleperformance Limited show the company made a £7.4m pre-tax profit in 2013 in what it described as contiuing tough UK economic conditions compared with £10.6m in the preceding year.
The company operates centres in Airdrie, Glasgow, Erskine and Kilmarnock and six in other parts of the UK.
It acquired the centres in Scotland when it bought Airdrie-based beCogent for £35m in 2010.
Teleperformance said it grew turnover by 5 per cent annually in 2013, to £155m. It highlighted growth in the existing client base, including "continued out-sourcing to offshore locations in Egypt and South Africa".
However, the accounts show Teleperformance recorded a £2m charge after providing that amount against the value of a subsidiary called TP South Africa Trading following a review.
The subsidiary provides call centre services. Teleperformance said: "The gross margin in the year was impacted by the continuing tough UK economic climate."
The company employed an average 6,801 people in the year, up from 6,513 in 2012.
beCogent was founded in 1999 by former John Menzies executive Dermot Jenkinson and Dutchman Ron Peerenboom.

Milwaukee Music Video: See the visual treatment for Alchemy's 'Creature of Love'
The music video for glossy synthpop band Alchemy's "Creature of Love" doesn't feature unicorns, a snuggly, six-foot-tall stuffed animal or any other cutesy creatures of love. But it does have a CGI mud monster, a sickly, paranoid dude in a hoodie and the local group rocking out at Mad Planet.
"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Expert Review:Autoblog
Chevy has a lot riding on their new compact sedan. The Chevy Cobalt replaces the relatively ancient Cavalier in the company's line-up. It's also an attempt to move beyond just the economy car title to something more upscale. The $20,600 price tag on our test LT Sedan certainly makes it seem like we're talking upscale, but the Cobalt probably shouldn't try to aim so high.
Before I get a chance to test out the speed sensitive power steering, four-wheel antilock brakes and traction control (in a fresh batch of snow), I have to sit in the thing. Wearing a winter coat, I feel like I've just been wedged into a sub-compact. The seat must need adjusting. Wait…my hand can barely fit between the seat and the door to get to the lever to lower it. OK, now I'm a bit lower and the headroom doesn't bother me but I am still struggling for hip room here.
This will be one of the few times I bust out statistics to prove my point. Because the space squeeze is so prominent, I have to check the interior space against the competition. The Ford Focus is .2 inches less in front hip room but a half inch better in shoulder room. But I'm still thinking this is too tight a squeeze to be identical to the competition. The Toyota Corolla bests the Cobalt in hip room by 2.3 inches and shoulder room by just .1 inch. Compared to the Mazda 3 the Cobalt has 5.3 inches less front hip room and almost two inches less shoulder room.
So I am now satisfied in feeling a bit tight. The interior doesn't thrill me as much as it does in the SS with all the black and metal highlights. Faux wood just shouldn't be used in cars of this class. It doesn't help anything look more expensive. It also takes away from the style of the single bar going across the entire dash. On first look, the vents stick out as the cheapest aspect of the interior and are just flimsy, almost unfinished plastic.
Luckily, the colors are pleasant and all the buttons, steering wheel and other essentials are nice to the touch. I genuinely like the exterior look of the Cobalt, but it is a bit derivative of the Mazda3 and last generation Jetta. We'll have to see if more time in the Cobalt improves on its first impression.
The Chevy Cobalt might be a little tight inside but it sure is peppy around town. The 145 horsepower engine seems almost powerful for the class. The speed sensitive steering excels on twisty city roads, but is a bear during parallel parking. Isn't there a way to implement this type of steering where it doesn't add an extra revolution of the wheel to turn sharply enough for parking maneuvers?
The engine does make a bit of a light buzzing noise that intrudes in the cabin, but it isn't horrendous. Luckily, the seven speaker stereo is surprisingly capable and our test vehicle was completely equipped with XM radio, so there are tunes aplenty to cover that engine noise.
During a thorough day of city errands, the Cobalt handled itself competently and with no real complaints. When I pushed it to make the fleeting yellows, it responded with a healthy growl and lurched forward like you'd expect. And even when the rare bus pulled out from a stop unexpectedly, the brakes came to the rescue. That doesn't mean I still don't feel cramped in the car. I drove without my heavy winter coat and that seemed to help, but the Cobalt's cabin still didn't feel spacious.
I'm enjoying the Cobalt for its ride but the rest of the package hasn't won me over yet.
There are some interesting contrasts inside the Chevy Cobalt. The color schemes are pleasing and the majority of the plastic that makes up the dash and doors is above par. But in the end, the little things that deal with ergonomics stick out more than the looks.
The best example of the poor layout resides in the three buttons to the right of the gauge cluster. The hazards button, along with the trip info and reset buttons, all reside spread out in this area, shown to the left (click on picture for larger image). Now this isn't a bad location necessarily, but if you're driving there's this thing called the steering wheel that completely blocks the view of these three buttons. Sure, it's not hard to feel around for them. But hit the reset button instead of the info button by mistake and you lose your trip statistics. Plus, every car I've been in recently has a huge hazard button, while the Cobalt's is tiny and hidden. Not really a safety feature.
The lighting controls on the left side of the steering wheel are similarly hidden but easier to adjust. In an odd twist of fate the easiest controls, radio volume, are also set in the steering wheel. I've been using the old fashioned knob on the deck instead though. The rest of the stereo functions are simple enough as are the climate controls.
Cup holders are predictability shallow. No ability to grasp a water bottle here. Sigh.
Buttons, like in the Mercury Montego, for the windows and other controls offer a nice resistance to the touch and don't feel flimsy. Unlike the Montego, I like the small and curvy door handles. At least they attempt to blend into the door's shape.
The worst offenses of the entire interior are the five cent air vents. Could Chevy have spent any less attention to a feature? Most of today's new vehicles, even the Chevy Aveo, have distinctive vents. These are the lamest I've seen in anything I've tested in memory.
It's too bad such a feature was overlooked. Besides the lame fake wood, that is optional, poor button placement and those vents the interior is not so bad. The black design with the brushed steel is actually pretty sleek.
We sure hope Bob Lutz doesn't write a rant about our test in the Chevy Cobalt. We know we're not the Wall Street Journal or anything, but we like to think we have some weight in readers' minds when we review a car. Whether that's true or not is a completely separate matter. There was just one drawback we could find with the Cobalt that was sufficient enough to prevent people from actually plunking down cash to buy one.
That drawback is simply the amount of cash you'd have to plunk down to buy one. In all respects, the Cobalt is a fine little economy car. It doesn't outdo any of the competition, but it sure doesn't fall flat either. By holding its own in the categories that count — handling, acceleration, steering, fun to drive factor — the Cobalt wins us over. The cramped cabin got us off on the wrong foot and would lead me personally away from the car, but perhaps perception differs among buyers.
Space will also be a huge factor for those who have extra passengers as the rear legroom is very limiting as shown in the image here. I wouldn't recommend a rear ride-along for more than a short drive.
Positives were definitely the overall fit and finish, superior stereo and performance. The 24/32 mpg figure is also nothing to sneeze at. The price of the LT without Onstar and XM still pushes close to $20,000 and that just doesn't compete with everything else out there. I know everyone hates it when I say this, but the Mazda 3 still offers the best value and performance for the money and is considerably more stylish. The Corolla and Civic are more affordable. If the Cobalt could be had for the price of the Corolla, you'd still be facing the quality issues of GM versus Toyota. This is such a tough segment to be in that the Cobalt had to totally blow us away. Instead it shot itself in the foot from the first glance of the sticker.
New Car Test Drive
Chevy's in the game with this solid compact.
With its expressive styling and general all-around competence, the Chevrolet Cobalt competes effectively against the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Ford Focus, an impressive achievement, considering how long the competition has dominated this game.
The Cobalt is the quietest, most refined small car GM has ever built. It's based on a strong, stiff platform, a key element for crisp handling and as smooth ride. The SS models use this to maximum advantage resulting in a dynamic driving experience. If you're looking for inexpensive, high-value transportation with a new-car warranty, the Cobalt is worth a look.
Premium features are available like heated leather seats, XM Satellite Radio, MP3, and OnStar.
Driving the supercharged SS model is an absolute hoot. Quick, responsive handling and brisk acceleration performance along with a sporty sounding exhaust note make the supercharged coupe entertaining to drive, a sport compact that can more than hold its own in the class.
New for 2006 are SS sedan and coupe models with normally aspirated engines. These new SS models fit between the LT and SS Supercharged models. Their price, power and performance and body work are all toned down from the SS Supercharged coupe, but they're sporty cars and possibly the best choice in the lineup, boasting 171-horsepower engines and sports suspensions.
The 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt is available in an array of distinctive trim levels in two body styles: two-door coupe and four-door sedan. Three different engines are available with suspensions tuned to match.
The LS, LT, and LTZ models are powered by a 145-horsepower 2.2-liter engine and use the FE1 suspension.
The LS ($13,900) sedan and coupe come standard with air conditioning, automatic headlights, electric rear defogger, tilt steering column, CD player, and a driver information center. They have wind-up windows, manually operated mirrors, and cloth upholstery with height-adjustable front seats and a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat. LS models have a body-color grille and door handles and come with front disc/rear drum brakes and 15-inch wheels and tires. LS comes standard with a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic ($850).
The LT ($16,200) sedan and coupe get power windows and door locks, anti-lock brakes, 16-inch alloy wheels. LT comes standard with a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic. The LTZ sedan ($18,400) is a premium model that comes standard with the automatic, upgraded audio and premium trim.
SS ($18,200) coupe and sedan get a 171-horsepower 2.4-liter engine, the FE3 sports suspension, 17-inch wheels and high performance tires. It also gets upgraded cloth, special body-color trim and other upgrades. SS models are available with the five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
SS Supercharged coupe ($21,400) features a 205-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, the high-performance FE5 suspension, and 18-inch wheels with high-performance tires.
Options include power sunroof ($725); OnStar ($695); XM Satellite Radio ($325), a rear spoiler ($275), a radio upgrade to MP3 ($150). The Sport package ($595) includes a brushed metal trim package for the dashboard, white-faced gauges, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, rear spoiler and 16-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli tires.
Safety features include dual-stage front air bags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners, rear center shoulder belts, and the LATCH child seat retention system. All but the LS models come standard with anti-lock brakes (ABS). Head curtain side air bags ($395) designed to provide head protection are optional. OnStar's operators can provide assistance after an accident and will direct emergency crews to your exact location should your airbag go off.
The Chevrolet Cobalt is built on GM's Delta platform, which it shares with the Saturn Ion and Chevy HHR retro truck as well as the Opel Astra in Europe. But with its single-bar grille and bowtie emblem, it looks like a proper Chevrolet small car right down to its shoes and socks.
Body panel fits are extremely tight. So tight, in fact, that there are no rubber trim gaskets around the compound complex headlamps.
The Cobalt coupe bears a resemblance in its shape to the old Cavalier it replaced, while the sedan features a more modern roofline sweep. The SS coupe and sedan models have a small rear spoiler, while the SS Supercharged coupe carries a huge, tall rear spoiler than says it's a serious sport compact.
Cobalt is longer, wider and lower than most of its direct competitors and its interior dimensions and trunk capacity are comparable for the class.
Inside the Cobalt, the design theme is simple and straightforward. Materials are decent and the fit and finish is good and comparable for the class. There's just enough chrome trim here and there on knobs and instruments to brighten things up without a lot of glare from the shiny parts. Instruments are large, well placed, and easy to read, with nice graphic treatment throughout.
Cobalt uses different seats in the different trim levels, each with detail changes in foam, padding and trim. We found plenty of fore/aft and rake adjustment for a 6-foot, 4-inch driver, plus seat height adjustment with a ratcheting handle. The LT seats were very comfortable and grabbed us in the fast corners exactly where we needed to be grabbed and held. Even better were the leather-trimmed seats in the SS Supercharged.
The available Pioneer seven-speaker sound system with the Delphi AM/FM/CD and XM Satellite Radio delivers good sound and includes a huge subwoofer mounted on the left side trunk wall.
The heating, ventilation and defroster system worked quickly and intuitively.
The LS comes with manually operated windows. We don't mind this, but it takes a lot of cranks (about four and half) to wind the windows up. The urethane steering wheel that comes on LS and LT models feels cheap. The leather-wrapped wheels on LTZ and SS models are much nicer.
The sedan trunk is wide and deep with a low liftover height, and almost 14 cubic feet of capacity, more than competitive in the class, though the opening to the trunk seems relatively small. Cobalt does not use space-eating gooseneck hinges on its decklid, opting instead for simple outside corner hinges and two hydraulic assist struts. The coupe has a very small trunk opening, making it difficult to fit a thick suitcase. A 60/40-split, fold-down rear seat with a trunk pass-through feature adds utility to both sedan and coupe.
Driving Impression
The Chevrolet Cobalt is quite pleasant to drive, especially the SS models. It's quiet for a car that retails for less than $20,000. Chevrolet put considerable effort into special door seals, sandwich steel panels, thick carpets and pads, noise blockers and noise absorbers throughout the front, middle and rear of the car. As a result, normal front-seat conversation is possible at speeds above 90 mph.
If you want enjoyment in your driving you'll have to step up to the SS models.
We drove an LT with ABS and four-wheel disc brakes and found them to be powerful, and progressive, with a good ratio between pedal travel and braking action. The brakes seemed a little mushy on the LS, which comes with rear drum brakes.
The 2.2-liter engine, which is rated at 145 horsepower, was a bit of a disappointment. It was smooth, but never felt truly powerful until it was revving very high. The four-speed automatic doesn't help, with kickdown that reminded us of a rental car.
The supercharged engine in the Cobalt SS Supercharged was another story. We like the way it sounded when it revved and, paired with the manual gearbox, it offered responsive performance.
The Chevrolet Cobalt will satisfy the needs of drivers looking for economy of price, economy of operation, and a nice, quiet ride. We think it's a handsome, well-equipped car. The standard engine could offer more responsive low-end power, however. The Cobalt LS and LT models are the epitome of driving excitement, however. They're not made for that. They deliver four people comfortably, five only in a pinch, on a minimal outlay for fuel and monthly payments. The SS models are fun to drive, particularly the Cobalt SS Supercharged coupe.

The Democratic National Committee will start tweeting from @JoeBiden in an election-year push to benefit Democratic House and Senate candidates, the committee said on Monday.
"@JoeBiden will be another way for the Vice President to engage our supporters, spread the Democratic message and support our candidates heading into the midterm elections," a DNC offical told TIME magazine, which first reported the news.
Similarly, President Obama tweets occasionally from @WhiteHouse. His campaign Twitter handle — @BarackObama — is controlled by Organizing for Action, the independent political advocacy group that grew out of his reelection campaign.
During a speech to the DNC in February, Biden said he and the president had an "obligation" to help Democrats in the midterm elections. He said he had committed to assist 120 races this cycle, and that the pair would raise money "to help make this viable."
"I'll come campaign for you or against you, whichever will help you the most," Biden said.
In the Senate, Democrats are defending 21 of the 36 seats up this fall, and Republicans have a shot at regaining a majority.
Democrats in red states like South Dakota, West Virginia and Montana have retired, and Sens. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) are facing tough races.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Barclays said Wednesday that it cut its second-quarter GDP trading estimate to 1.0% from 1.6% after the trade deficit widened in May. In a note to clients, Barclays blamed the larger-than-expected increase in imports in the month for the downward revision. A higher trade deficit is a drag on GDP. Earlier, the Commerce Department reported that the May trade gap rose 12% to $45 billion in May, well above economists' forecast of a deficit of $40.3 billion.

Historically revered in Indian tradition, tigers in the area were once protected by maharajahs, and then by government sanctuaries and conservation projects. But poachers have proven to be nearly unstoppable over the years, and tigers have struggled to survive, even with the protection of the park. At one point, there were as few as 26 tigers left in the reserve, and today, the fate of each and every tiger is important to the species as a whole.

Letang (illness) to miss third straight, Pens 'uncertain' if it's long-term
Feb 3, 2014, 12:02 PM EDT
The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without defenseman Kris Letang for a third straight game tonight when they take on Ottawa, head coach Dan Bylsma confirmed.
Letang, 26, has been sidelined by illness for a week and hasn't played since a 3-0 defeat of Buffalo last Monday. According to Bylsma, the team doesn't know what's plaguing last year's Norris finalist, adding that Letang is currently undergoing tests and evaluations to figure it out.
What's more, Bylsma said the Pens are uncertain about Letang's issue being long-term.
This has been an extremely difficult season for Letang's health. He missed nine games at the start of the year with a knee injury, then another 10 with what was believed to be an elbow issue.
All told, Letang has appeared in just 34 games for Pittsburgh this season, scoring 10 goals and 18 points.
- Stiller43 - Feb 3, 2014 at 12:40 PM
Would ya trade this guy already?!!!
- Tyler - Feb 3, 2014 at 1:17 PM
Letang is a very enigmatic player. He's the type of player that you live by, and die by.
Even as someone who has supported the idea of trading Letang in the past, I don't think the Penguins will deal the proven, for the unknown. Prospects do them no good at this point, and the way the team is set up, it has showed they can walk on thin ice with limited forward depth (both top 6 and bottom 6.
He's a right-handed shot, which is a bit harder to find. Next year, his new contract kicks in at $7.25m however the cap will be going up by $6.8m I believe. He's also only 26 years old (will be 27 in April). The Penguins seem intent on keeping a particular core around as long as possible.
When healthy, and on his game (keyword: ON his game), Letang is definitely the #1 dman for the Pens. The last few games have showed what he means to the team (ex: exiting the defensive zone, neutral zone transition).
Shero would have to net a very handsome return to trade someone like Letang.
- hockey412 - Feb 3, 2014 at 2:00 PM
I agree with all of that…although I've actually been more supportive of KEEPING Letang in the past than I have now. He's a great athlete, but needs to be far more careful with the puck in his own end, he's the only Penguins D player that has more Giveaways than games (and I do realize that has a lot to do with his role in puck distribution and TOI, but it's an obvious weakness when watching). This injury is a little odd, though – he's injured a lot but this one sounds a little off. Hopefully it's not something serious.
- penguins87and71 - Feb 3, 2014 at 12:41 PM
If I were Ray Shero I would trade Kris Letang. He is a good dynamic player, but his a luxury for the Penguins. The Penguins already have a great pool of defensemen probably the deepest in the league they could afford to trade Letang. Trading Letang would be smart because, you could get a boat load for him in a trade, also it would free up the cap so the Penguins could be active in free agency.
- sjsharks66 - Feb 3, 2014 at 12:50 PM
Yeah! Trade a player who was a Norris finalist last year because he is injured/sick this season. The fact that 30 teams would easily trade their first round picks for Letang is reason enough to keep him. Yes, the defense is deep in Pitt. What if Maata does not work out? What if Despres and Bortz is a bust also? How many times have we all seen a rookie player have an outstanding rookie season and then bust down the road?
I don't know. I think trading Letang would be a mistake.
- kastout11 - Feb 3, 2014 at 1:15 PM
This is not the first season that Letang has missed significant time due to illness or injury. Personally, although an extremely talented player, I don't think his value is as high as most think. He has proven to be injury prone.
- LampyB - Feb 3, 2014 at 1:18 PM
He's injured every single season bud, its not just this year. Concussions, knee problems, elbow, ankle. Hes a tough player made of glass. $7M needs to be reserved for the likes of Chara who never sits.
- hockey412 - Feb 3, 2014 at 2:02 PM
Maybe Chara would move faster if he sat once in a while.
- killerpgh - Feb 3, 2014 at 4:59 PM
Isn't Chara skipping his teams last 2 games before the Olympic break?
- runhigh24 - Feb 3, 2014 at 1:21 PM
People seem to forget that while the Pens are deep in defensive prospects that most of them are left handed shots. Trading a right handed defensemen in Letang would create a void that the current crop of prospects won't necessarily fill.
- hockey412 - Feb 3, 2014 at 2:03 PM
I think Niskanen is the only other one, if I'm not mistaken.
- runhigh24 - Feb 3, 2014 at 2:22 PM
And he's UFA after this year and certain to attract attention given the season he's having. Bortuzzo is a righty and while I'm a fan of his there's no guarantee he'll be a reliable top 4 d-man let alone the top pairing guy Letang is now.
- sjsharks66 - Feb 3, 2014 at 2:04 PM
Well if we use the injury argument. Malkin and Crosby both had long injuries. Should they have been traded? Beau has been injured almost all season. Why not let him go also? You guys are putting too much faith in rookies. Letang has proven to be one of, if not the top D man for the Pens when healthy.
- penguins87and71 - Feb 3, 2014 at 2:52 PM
You can't always rely on veterans either. The Penguins are the 4th oldest team in the NHL right now. They need an influction of youth on the team. The Penguins played their best hockey when the rookies were playing and the veterans were injured. The formula you want the Penguins to go with hasn't worked in the Playoffs since the 2009 season, so maybe it's time to go in a different direction and get younger. Also what's the point in paying a guy like Kris Letang if his going to be injured or sick all the time, his only played in 34 games this year! The Penguins don't need Letang, they play better defensively when his out of the lineup. Don't get me wrong his a dynamic player but his not the right type of player for this team, not when you have Crosby and Malkin.
- pitpenguinsrulez - Feb 3, 2014 at 2:36 PM
What an overpaid bum!! Seriously when's Letang gonna pull out his tampon and start playing?
- jpelle82 - Feb 3, 2014 at 3:42 PM
maybe its the AIDS. he should start to put a bunch of the spare hundred dollar bills he has lying around in a blender and start injecting himself with them so he can live as long as magic johnson.
- killerpgh - Feb 3, 2014 at 5:20 PM
I'm not against trading any player. Hell, Gretzky got traded. Any player should be available for the right price. The Penguins have a better defense with Letang on the roster, imo. Look past this season. Orpik is probably gone. Niskanen's contract is up. Engelland's contract is up. Martin's contact is up after next season. I wouldn't feel comfortable with Martin, Scuderi, Despres, Burtuzzo, Maata and another rookie next season. Even if you add Niskanen to those 5 it still doesn't look like a winning d corps to me. The young defensive prospects have potential, but none are ready to play 20+ minutes a game against the other teams top 6 forwards and probably won't be for 2 more years, if not later. Defenseman usually take longer to develop. Pouliot is projected to be better than Maata, but right now he is playing in Juniors because he isn't ready yet.
- csilojohnson - Feb 3, 2014 at 5:25 PM
Cant wait till the trade deadline so i can stop hearing, "Gretzky got traded"
- muckleflugga - Feb 3, 2014 at 9:43 PM
not that it matters … in reference to gretzky's move from edmonton …
he was sold for cash and not traded
when he and gretzky were informed, sather shoved pocklington and nearly threw a punch

In Excel for Mac 2011 Essential Training, author Curt Frye gives a comprehensive overview of Excel, the full-featured spreadsheet software from Microsoft. The course covers key skills such as manipulating workbook and cell data, using functions, automating actions, printing worksheets, and collaborating with others. Exercise files accompany the course.
Before I get into the details of how to create and manipulate PivotTables, I'd like to demonstrate a few of the ways PivotTables help you analyze your worksheet data. A PivotTable looks a lot like a regular worksheet, with rows and columns of data, labels, subtotals, and grand totals, but what PivotTables enable you to do is to change the structure of your data to emphasize different aspects of that data. So let's get a sense of the lay of the land here. Let's take a look at the PivotTable. You see that I have the data in here, and I have the total for each row here in this column for the Grand Total, and each row has data for, in this case a specific month of the year.
I've 2008, broken down into January, February, March, and so on, and then I have a subtotal for 2008. And sales are divided between two firms, two of my customers: FirmA and FirmB. If I scroll down, you'll see that I have a subtotal for each of these two columns for the year 2008, and then I have the same for 2009, with the subtotal here, and then the grand total for each of these two columns and a grand total for the entire PivotTable. I'll scroll back up.
On the right side, you'll see that I have what's called the PivotTable Builder. The PivotTable Builder is a dialog that you can use to manipulate the PivotTable. If for any reason you don't see it- and I will hide it now intentionally by clicking the Close box - if you want to see it, you can click the PivotTable contextual tab on the Ribbon, and over here in the View group, click the Builder button, and the PivotTable Builder comes back. So now, what are some things that you can do with the PivotTable? Well, you can reorganize your data. And what I'd like to do is focus on the data in this cell here, the value 128, which represents revenue generated from FirmA in March of 2008.
And to identify that cell as we pivot, I'm going to mark it in yellow. So now, let's say that I want to reorganize the data in my PivotTable. If I want to organize by Year, by Month, and then by Company, I can drag the Company field header below Year and Month, and when I release it, you'll see that I have 2008, January, and then FirmA and FirmB, and the value 128, which corresponded to March 2008 for FirmA, has moved down. And you'll see that this structure mirrors the structure here in the PivotTable Builder.
I go by Year, by Month and by Company, and that structure is indicated here. Now let's say that I want to go by Year and Company in the rows and Month in the column labels. If I change that, the PivotTable pivots, technical name for how the PivotTable changes, and you can see that the value 128, again, March, 2008 for FirmA, has changed position, but it is still in the same place relative to its values, March, 2008, and FirmA. And that's exactly the same thing that happens with every other value.
The only thing that has changed is your perspective on the data. This PivotTable tends to emphasize monthly sales, so that means that you can look through and look it for May, and 2008, for January, February and so on, and if you prefer vertical to horizontal, well, you can reorganize the data that way too. I will put month down here, just for a moment, and then I'll put Year and Company in the Column Labels area, and when I do that, you get a different organization of the data that can provide a different perspective.
I hope this brief demonstration has given you a feel for PivotTable's capabilities. In the remaining movies in this chapter, I'll go into more detail on how to create and manipulate PivotTables, and the data they contain. The real benefit of using PivotTables is that you can, in seconds, reorganize and gain new perspectives on your data in ways that would take at least several minutes of cutting and pasting without them.

Updated 07/28/2013
Two blocks up from Ishigakis City's main intersection and set back into an inviting wooden storefront, Buku Buku Tea Shop would be famous just for its kitchen, were it not for the rare traditional tea that really steals the show. Great lunch and dinner sets usually begin from a standard base like the don-buri—a rice bowl with stir-fried meat or vegetables served on top—but dishes are tweaked and specialized with locally grown vegetables and innovative styles of rice preparation and rare strains of rice to bowl over your palette. Tea is delightful by itself, too, when you try making it the Ryukyu way. A wooden bowl holds thick, black tea made from baked rice grains, but this isn't what you drink: with a big bamboo whisk, you'll whip it into a thick cloud of foam to spoon onto the drink of your choice; sharing one drink among friends so everyone looks equally foolish with a splash of foam on his nose is highly encouraged, and the drinks are delicious.

Only this small section of equipment will be replaced in Eastside Park — the other, smaller play features are not a part of the project. The City has previously collected input from community members on the project and are ready to propose replacement play structure options.
Ongoing -- Pardon Our Dust! Park ADA Modifications in progress!You may have noticed a little construction activity in some of Santa Rosa's parks. The City is hard at work upgrading all of its parks to provide more accessibility for those with disabilities, as well as making park features more inviting and user-friendly for all Santa Rosa residents. This may mean replacing a pathway that is in disrepair, adding new wheelchair-accessible picnic tables, or any number of other improvements. All parks are scheduled to remain open and usable during this work. Follow our progress by clicking here.

The Boston Red Sox are honoring some of their great players on the field as members of the ''All Fenway Park Team.'' The pregame ceremony on Wednesday night caps off a year of celebrations for the ballpark's 100th anniversary. Second baseman Dustin Pedroia and designated hitter David Ortiz were the only players from this year's team on the 40-man roster. Also among the two dozen attending the ceremony were Carl Yastrzemski, Fred Lynn, Carlton Fisk, Pedro Martinez and Roger Clemens. The team was chosen by the fans, historians and members of the front office staff. The members of the team each threw a ceremonial first pitch to players on the current roster.

Smith will use the award to advance her studies of cell membranes. She's working to understand how the molecules that make up cell membranes organize and interact with each other. These measurements are needed to understand how cells receive information from their environment and respond to outside signals.
The award will also allow Smith to hire two graduate students for each of the grant's five years.
"It's important for the research agencies to support young faculty," Smith said. "It allows young faculty to move up the ranks and become established researchers. This helps young faculty grow."

Re: Massive AMD Price Drops on X2 6000+ and X2 5600+
Xion as usual you're full off it, go read your first reply (post #5) about Intel outperforming AMD by a
"significant margin"
and find there ANYTHING about overclocking. GO BACK AND READ.
Actually it was me who said in the origional post #1:
"I believe if the same chips are overclocked Intel is going to be way ahead, on the other hand not everybody does overclock."
And again me in post #21 replying to your post #5 I said.
"Just to stop any further arguments:
I did also mention in the origional post that the E6600 would most likely overclock better but I don't think AMD needs to much worry about it, in my wild estimate 99.9% PC user do not overclock. For most people the bottom line is more important."
I did say the above because I know you better, i knew you would come back with some kind of argument, you love to argue plus you never wrong. But it did not help at all, because finaly in your post #22 you did bring up
"significant margin"
in overclocking and going on and on and on and on, actually arguing with yourself since I did say twice before that the Intel Core 2 chips would overclock better. GO BACK AND READ
One more time you should have "GONE BACK AND READ" before you said:
"Honestly. I mean, Heinz--can you even effen read?"
Now after you finish reading get the **** out off this tread, I have enough off you.

This is the 3rd steering wheel cover I've bought for this car since 2006. The quality is just right and even though it takes MUCH longer than the instructions say, the results are very nice.

This is a cover I will purchase again if needed. wraps the wheel very well. I have never been a fan of using wheel covers but when my Murano steering wheel began showing signs of age on the steering wheel (scratchy feeling leather), I had to fix it. This is so much better than any other wheel cover i have seen and feels as near to the original wheel as you'll get without replacing the entire wheel unit. Thank you, and i'll be recommending to others.

Cover feels nice and not to bad to put on. However, I've had it on for only a week and the stitching is starting to fray. Has not caused any problems yet and seems to be only where I hold the wheel majority of the time. I am concerned about the longevity of the product.

I know they are enabled in Tablet mode but I want them on 240 DPI.
Hi guys can someone explain to me, about going from 2.3.6 to ICS rom as in imilka's
Question, so if I update my 2.3.6 rom to an ICS rom, I guess i need to flash 1st Chainfire ICS repack.
but what I am confused about, after flashing a ICS rom, can I go back to a 2.3.6 rom. I read that I need to flash another Chainfire ICS repack, to do that..
I am a little confused can anyone help straighten me out please?
if this is the case can some one post a link to the Chainfire ICS repack to go back to a 2.3.6 rom.
No need to flash any repack to revert back to Gingerbread, what you need to do is this:
- Reboot into CWM Recovery and flash Abyss kernel (any version from 3.9 up will do)
- After flashing go to advance menu in recovery > choose reboot in recovery
- Now you're in Redpill recovery that comes with Abyss kernel, from there flash any custom Gingerbread ROM you like or restore a nandroid backup..

Within the bitbucket interface there is a notion of "origin", but I don't think you can do a pull within bitbucket.

Hi all,
So my son Hudson w/ suspected Apraxia will turn TWO on July 4th.
he got into his pre-school 2s program (they called with an opening) which would start this September. It is only 2 mornings a week for 2.5 hours each session.
Just checking in with you all about what you did and if you think this is a good thing, or if I should wait a bit ? I haven't yet even talked to the school director/teachers about the speech delay as we haven't finished our paperwork and had our meeting -- but of course, I would bring them all up to speed. I am curious if they will even know about Apraxia ?? It's a great school, so I would think maybe they would, but it's a pretty unknown disorder to the outside worlds.
He is a bit of a cautious boy, but when around kids, he does seem to get more vocal. I think it woudl be good for him, but don't want to push him too much and cause any anxieties that end up resulting in set backs or meltdowns.
Just curious : did you all start pre school at 2yrs old ? How did your LOs do ? Were there any speech related issues I should be aware of ? Any and all feedback appreciated.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Allison Bartholomay
Johnson E.S., third grade
Allison Bartholomay always knew that she wanted to perform in front of an audience. She just didn't realize that it might be composed of third-graders instead of theater-goers.
Bartholomay brings a wealth of experiences to her Johnson Elementary School classroom each day. She grew up in France and England, majored in theater and Spanish in college and does her best to incorporate some of her own life into the lives of her third-graders on a daily basis.
During her decade as a teacher (which also included time at Dumbarton and Skipwith elementaries), Bartholomay has worked with a number of students with special needs, behavioral issues and those for whom English is a second language. The key to reaching every student, she says, is building the community of the classroom and convincing students that they're all smart in their own ways.
"That's tough because some students may not feel that way at first," she says. "But once that happens and they believe in themselves, they realize that anything is possible."
It's her constant motivation to find ways to reach each student in her class that sets Bartholomay apart.
"Ms. Bartholomay makes her students get excited about every topic, even if it would not necessarily excite them to begin with," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "She teaches 21st-century skills with ease, infusing creativity and technology, breathing excitement into the Henrico curriculum."
In addition to her full-time job, Bartholomay also teaches a course at VCU about integrating the arts into elementary curriculum. She's familiar with the topic because she lives it every day.
"Being a theater major has helped me reach all levels of students," she says. "If a child doesn't understand something on paper, we're going to act it out. If that doesn't work, we're going to sing it out. We'll go out on the playground and act it out, or we'll go somewhere on my Promothean board."
She uses song and dance to engage students, such as having them sing "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" in Spanish and performing a song about the regions of Virginia with choreography.
To challenge students, she gives them a new word to learn each day.
"I choose the hardest words I can find for third grade," she says. "Convivial. Sagacious. And they use them, and know what they mean. It's a thrill for me to be able to teach them something and watch them take it on to someone else."
Her students also write weekly goals for themselves, which they keep in mini folders on their desks and use to motivate themselves and to evaluate their accomplishments.
Bartholomay credits the environment in Henrico schools with allowing her to feel comfortable and confident trying new approaches in the classroom.
"Henrico County allows you to think outside the box," she says. "They trust that you're an expert in your field and you can take [students] where they need to be and more.
"I feel like I walk in every day, I want to have fun, and [the students] make my day fun. So I try to teach them so that they'll be engaged. If I'm not having fun, then I don't feel like I'm doing my job. I'm here to teach them content, but I also want to be that voice in their head – when they're 12 and they don't believe in themselves, or when they're 15 and someone is trying to lead them down the wrong path – that gives them the confidence to do the right thing."
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen
Dr. Even Alexander, a New York Times best-selling author who has been featured on Oprah and Dr. Oz, was in town last week to promote his June 27 talk, "Proof of Heaven," at Glen Allen High School.
Alexander (pictured, at right, while Unity of Bon Air church member Harry Simmons interviews him) has written about what he considers to be his journey through the afterlife.
Tickets to this month's event are $25 and will support the new Bon Secours Hospice House being built later this year. > Read more.
A triumphant return
Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride
Explaining the nuts and bolts of Pixar's new, exciting, innovative Inside Out – really digging into the film's shape-and-color explanation of the human mind – would take up the entirety of this review. And probably three or four more (if movies had instruction manuals, Inside Out's would be the size and general poundage of a cinder block).
It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

Cycle Rider remains critical in ICU
Car leaves scene; police question man
WICHITA FALLS - A motorcycle rider seriously injured when his bike was struck by a car Monday afternoon remained in critical condition Tuesday morning.
The driver of the motorcycle, 17-year-old David Sorrells, suffered serious head injuries. The car that struck him left the scene.
Police spokesman Sgt. Joe Snyder said a Suzuki motorcycle and a Ford Taurus were northbound on Fairway when they bumped about 3:15 p.m. The driver of the Suzuki was ejected.
Snyder said the driver of the Taurus left the scene.
A suspect vehicle was found a short time later at a convenience store near the intersection of Kemp Boulevard and Ninth Street. Police arrested 26-year old Connard Lee Riddles III there and charged him with Failure to Stop and Render Aid, a third degree felony.
Snyder also said the motorcycle was listed as stolen.
Snyder did not know whether the injured motorcyclist was wearing a helmet. He described the man's condition as "potentially life threatening."

VIDEO: Sneak Peek - Tonight's Episode of CBS's HAWAII FIVE-O
On tonight's episode of the CBS drama HAWAII FIVE-0 entitled 'Kapu,' for the first time in television history, a primetime drama will allow viewers to choose the ending of an episode in real time when CBS's HAWAII FIVE-0 lets fans vote on CBS.com or Twitter during the East and West Coast broadcasts, tonight, Monday, Jan. 14, 2013 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Get a sneak peek below!
HAWAII FIVE-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about a new elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands' sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer-turned-cop, returns to Oahu to investigate his father's murder and stays after Hawaii's former governor persuades him to head up the new team: his rules, her backing, no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest "game" in town. However, now there's a new governor in office with a stricter rulebook that McGarrett and his team will need to contend with.
Joining McGarrett is Detective Danny "Danno" Williams, a relocated ex-New Jersey cop – a working man in paradise who prefers skyscrapers to the coastline – who's committed to keeping the Islands safe for his young daughter; Chin Ho Kelly, an ex-Honolulu police detective and former protégé of McGarrett's father, who was wrongly accused of corruption; Dr. Max Bergman, the quirky coroner; and Chin's cousin, Kono Kalakaua, a beautiful and fearless native, eager to establish herself among the department's elite. Assisting the team is Lt. Catherine Rollins, a dedicated military officer with romantic ties to McGarrett. McGarrett vows to bring closure to his father's case, while the state's brash FIVE-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves, is determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state.

NEW YORK (AP) — The 1984 Summer Olympic Torch that Bruce Jenner carried through Lake Tahoe, Nevada, is going on the auction block where it could fetch $20,000 or more.
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese stocks fell Tuesday despite official efforts to shore up slumping prices while other Asian markets were mixed after Wall Street's decline.
Floyd Mayweather was stripped by the World Boxing Organization of the welterweight world title he won by beating Manny Pacquiao two months ago. Mayweather had failed to meet the deadline last Friday for paying the $200,000 sanctioning fee required by the WBO after he took the belt from Pacquiao on May 2 in Las Vegas in the richest fight of all time, earning a reported $220 million in the process. WBO rules require boxers to pay 3 percent of their purse to fight for a world title up to a maximum of $200,000.

Senate Democrats unveil government funding bill
WASHINGTON Top Senate Democrats and Republicans Monday night released a catchall government funding bill that denies President Barack Obama new money for implementing signature first-term accomplishments like new regulations on Wall Street and his expansion of government health care subsidies but provides modest additional funding for domestic priorities like health research and highway projects.
Monday's measure is the product of bipartisan negotiations and is the legislative vehicle to fund the day-to-day operations of government through Sept. 30 - and prevent a government shutdown when current funding runs out March 27.
It sets a path for government in the wake of across-the-board spending cuts that took effect March 1. In most cases the minor changes in agency budgets amount to housekeeping within a trillion-dollar cap for the day-to-day operations of agencies in the current budget year.
Passage in the Senate this week seems routine and could presage an end to a mostly overlooked battle between House Republicans and Obama and his Senate Democratic allies over the annual spending bills required to fund federal agency operations.
The measure expands upon House GOP legislation that passed last week, adding sometimes symbolic funding and flexibility for scores of programs and challenges House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who warned Democrats last week not to load the measure up too much.
But each of the additional items was drawn from earlier informal House-Senate agreements, and top Senate Appropriations Committee Republican Richard Shelby of Alabama has signed on.
The bipartisan measure comes as Washington girds for weeks of warfare over the budget for next year and beyond as both House and Senate Budget Committees this week take up blueprints for the upcoming 2014 budget year.
The first salvo in that battle is coming from House Republicans poised to release on Tuesday a now-familiar budget featuring gestures to block "Obamacare," turn Medicare into a voucher-like program for future retirees and sharply curb Medicaid and domestic agency budgets. Such ideas are dead on arrival with Obama and Democrats controlling the Senate, but will - in concert with new taxes on the wealthy enacted in January - allow Republicans to propose a budget that would come to balance within 10 years.
"We think we owe the American people a balanced budget," House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said on "Fox News Sunday."
Senate Democrats are countering on Wednesday with a budget plan mixing tax increases, cuts to the Pentagon and relatively modest cuts to domestic programs. The measure would not reach balance, but it would undo automatic budget cuts that started taking effect this month and largely leaves alone rapidly growing benefit programs like Medicare.
"We need to make sure that everybody participates in getting us to a budget that deals with our debt and our deficit responsibly," Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., said Monday evening.
The upcoming debate over the long-term budgetary future promises to be stoutly partisan, even as Obama is undertaking outreach to rank-and-file Republicans in hopes of sowing the seeds for a bipartisan "grand bargain" on the budget this year after two failed attempts to strike agreement with House Speaker John Boehner. Obama's budget is already weeks overdue and Press Secretary Jay Carney deflected questions about it Monday, other than to promise that it would "for a period of time" bring deficits below 3 percent of gross domestic product, a measure that many analysts say is sustainable without damaging the economy.

Florio didn't watch Reggie punt last year. Good man whose body cannot do what it used to do. I say let's get a 42yd. avg. guy who can place the ball inside the 15 when we need it.

With Phil Dawson extremely unlikely to be the recipient of his third-straght franchise tag, Mike Florio of NBC's Pro Football Talk believes that the team should utilize this season's tag on a fellow special teamer in punter Reggie Hodges. Per Florio: Kicker Phil Dawson was tagged in 2011 and 2012. Using it a third time would entitle him to quarterback money. So if it's used, it won't be used on him. Punter Reggie Hodges is hitting the market after three years with the team. Though his performance doesn't cry out "franchise tag," it could be cheaper to squat on him for a year than to sign a replacement on the open market; that's why so many punters and kickers have been tagged in recent years. Hodges missed the entire 2011 season following an Achilles tear and left a lot to be desired in terms of net punt yardage in 2012. While he will live in infamy due to his fake punt-turned-huge run against the New Orleans Saints, and was the team's most recent recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award, In 2012, he recorded 72 punts with an average of 42.0 yards and a net average of 36.9. He has landed 24 punts inside the 20 yard line, which was tied for the sixth-most in the NFL while being a part of the league's third-best special teams unit per Football Outsiders. The Browns recently signed punter Spencer Lanning, rendering the "market" analysis moot. [Related: WFNY Podcast – SteelersDepot talking Browns and the rest of the AFC North]
