No room for parking says club
Relevant offers
As plans for a ferry in Te Atatu are being prepared, other aquatic users are raising concerns.
Te Atatu Boat Club general manager Denis Berg says it has not been contacted by anyone despite a previous study saying the area around their club is a potential site for the ferry.
The new feasibility study will look at the possibility of a ferry wharf, 200 space park-and-ride car park and an access road with turning capability.
"A lot of our members are uncomfortable with the lack of consultation.
"The main issue for us would be car parking.
"Auckland Transport are looking at putting in space for 200 cars but there's nowhere for it to realistically go on this side of the motorway."
Mr Berg says the club doesn't want to hold back progress and if the ferry goes ahead it will work with Auckland Transport to find an appropriate solution.
"Another issue over here is bridge clearance, to get under the motorway to high tide would take a very low profile ferry.
"The most logical solution would be to build the whole thing on the other side of the motorway on the empty Harbourview-Orangihina Park land."
Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan says it's unknown when the feasibility study will be finished.
"It's way too early to worry," he says.
This is a long-term project. First it has to go through the Auckland Transport board and the Henderson Massey Local Board."
The 2005 study into the possibility of a ferry identified the boat club as the most suitable site and a new pontoon would cost an estimated $3.2 million.
The study found the lack of clearance under the bridge would mean the ferry size would be limited and more trips would need to be made to compensate.
Waitakere Outrigger Canoe Club president Peter Raeburn says it's unlikely there would be any issues about using the same water as the ferry but the parking situation could turn out to be a problem.
"On a busy day we completely fill up the available parking. I hope they don't decide to take over our parking area."
Mr Raeburn says the boat club and Harbourview are two of the few places in West Auckland that have access to water no matter what the tide.
"We're in the process of putting together a resource consent application to build new club rooms next to the club.
"As long as we are consulted I think we can all work together."

The U.S. Embassy in Uganda said it had been warned of a "specific threat" of attack to the country's main airport Thursday and that travelers therefore "may want to review their plans."
The warning was one of several recent alarms in restive East Africa, where governments have sought to counter threats, particularly those by the al-Shabab militant movement based in Somalia.
The embassy did not specify what the threat entailed, but said it had "received information from the Uganda Police Force that, according to intelligence sources, "there is a specific threat to Entebbe International Airport," which serves the capital, Kampala.
The warning, in a statement on the embassy's website, said the attack could take place between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Thursday.

"U.S. Embassy Kampala wishes to remind U.S. citizens of the continued threat of potential terrorist attacks in the country," the statement said. "The targets for these attacks could include hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls, diplomatic missions, transportation hubs, religious institutions, government offices, or public transportation."
The embassy's warning followed a separate alert Wednesday by Uganda's Civil Aviation Authority, Reuters reported.
The alert also coincided with alarms about flights from Europe and the Middle East to the United States because of concerns that militants may have developed explosives undetectable by conventional airport security devices.
Uganda has troops in Somalia fighting al-Shabab as part of an African Union force and has been on alert in case that involvement draws reprisals. In 2010, al-Shabab claimed responsibility for attacks on bars in Uganda where people had gathered to watch World Cup soccer games. Scores of people were killed.
Elsewhere in the region, Kenya has blamed the Somali-based group for attacks including last year's bloody assault on the Westgate mall in Nairobi.
According to Agence France-Presse, a Ugandan army spokesman, Paddy Ankunda, said Thursday that troops had been deployed at the airport and in the capital.
"People must be vigilant in the face of this threat, report any suspicious individuals seen in their areas," he said, calling on people to "stay calm and alert."

Whatever Happened With That Deep Ellum Compilation?
About two months ago, we told you about Responsible Johnny frontman Rob Michaud's plans to release a Deep Ellum compilation called Wish You Were Here...Love, Deep Ellum.
When the local punk singer informed us of his whole-hearted effort to revitalize the music scene in Deep Ellum, we said "kudos"--and basically forgot about the thing until we received an update on the project earlier today.
Turns out, putting out the record is taking quite a bit longer than Michaud expected. "I thought, with home recording so cheap nowadays, it would be a piece of cake to get 20 bands knocking out songs instead of the old days of having to book studio time. But, apparently I was wrong."
While his project may have taken a slow turn, Michaud is still making progress. If you're interested, you can stream the first handful of songs for free from The Lash Outs, Giggle Party, and others over at the Deep Ellum Comp's ReverbNation site.
And keep checking back, because, according to Michaud, the submission list is growing daily.

Retired nurse Ann Keene, pictured with her late husband Peter during a previous trip, has jetted off to Africa to help orphan families
Allan Tunningley / / News
A SOUTH Lakes gran has set off on an inspirational trip to Zambia to help build homes for orphans – honouring a promise she made with her husband before he died last year.
Retired district nurse Ann Keene, from Kendal, is undertaking her third trip as part of the Habitat for Humanity charity's housing programme, an adventure she was to share with her husband Peter. He died of pancreatic cancer.
Previously, she and Peter had joined volunteers on two other Habitat 'builds' in Nepal and Malawi.
- UPDATE: Drugs seized as police identify teenager who died at Kendal Calling
- Pensioner airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries after being thrown from vehicle in Lake District
- Police investigating 'unexplained' death of 71-year-old at Ambleside hotel
- South Cumbria man sentenced to four years behind bars for manslaughter of his 13-year-old son
Ann, 64, said: "We had hoped to go together to Zambia, but Peter was diagnosed with cancer last July on our return from Malawi and died at home in January.
"I know he would want me to continue with this amazing work and go to Zambia as we had planned – and I know he will be with me in spirit." Ann flew out with a team of volunteers from all over Britain to spend a week in Lusaka, working with local people to dig foundations, mix mortar, lay floors, build walls, install windows and doors, plaster and paint.
Ann said: "It's truly an amazing and unique experience. It is such a privilege to work alongside local people, sharing their enthusiasm and excitement as the build proceeds."
Rebecca Martin, chief executive of the charity, said providing shelter for orphans and vulnerable children is one of our leading programmes in Africa.
"We have already helped more than 84,000 orphaned and vulnerable children and their carers.
"Thank goodness for people like Ann, who are prepared to give up their time and fund their own flights and costs to help us make a difference."

NEW DELHI: Lee Chong Wei will leave New Delhi with happy memories having also been named the BWF Male Player of the Year for 2013.
The Malaysian world number one withstood competition from China's Lin Dan and Chen Long; Indonesian doubles duo Mohammad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan; and Ko Sung-hyun-Lee Yong-dae of South Korea to claim the prestigious honour.
31-year-old Chong Wei won seven BWF World Superseries titles and was runner-up behind Lin Dan in the World Championship men's singles final in Guangzhou last year.
China's world number one women's singles player Li Xuerui captured the Female Player of the Year, proving she is still the one to beat on the big occasion.
Xuerui is the reigning Olympic champion and she retained the women's singles crown at the World Superseries Final in Kuala Lumpur as well.
She was runner-up to Thailand's Ratchanok Intanon at the world meet last year but managed to claim the Indonesia Open and the China Open titles.
Xuerui beat Intanon as well as compatriots Wang Yihan and women's doubles world champions Wang Xiaoli-Yu Yang for the coveted award.
Xuerui led China to a successful defence of the Uber Cup on Saturday, beating Japan 3-1 in the final.

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today unveiled major new components of Project Primetime, the industry's first fully integrated video technology platform that publishes and monetizes broadcast TV content across any Web-connected device. Adobe® MediaWeaver®, Adobe's new ad insertion service, dynamically places ads into content to maximize revenue. This new offering delivers a viewing experience that mirrors broadcast TV while also supporting audience targeting and analytics to increase media inventory value. Adobe also introduced Primetime Media Player, an industry-first player technology that allows TV content owners and distributors to maximize audience reach and ensure that all experiences are immediately monetizable through seamless ad insertion and analytics.
Along with these new components, the company announced the availability of the beta version of the full Primetime solution. The platform tightly integrates Adobe's video publishing, advertising and data solutions to ensure TV content owners and distributors can maximize the value of their content with the broadest audience reach, seamless HD video playback, and fully optimized content and ad delivery across any Web-connected device. Content owners can easily deploy individual components of Primetime to fit their infrastructure needs or let the full solution handle the entire workflow.
Adobe MediaWeaver
Adobe MediaWeaver, Adobe's new ad insertion service, places ads into live, linear, and Video-on-Demand (VoD) content using new patent-pending technology that provides unparalleled control, flexibility and user experiences. The system, which is available as a beta today, enables dynamic ad executions for video content in browsers and apps on any Web-connected device, creating an engaging, buffer-free ad and content experience for consumers. Adobe is the only company in the industry that provides dynamically inserted ad experiences that mirror broadcast TV while also offering content owners and distributors the ability to effectively target and report on audiences, a limitation with other current solutions. For more details, visit our blog.
Primetime Media Player
The new Primetime Media Player is at the core of Primetime and allows TV content owners and distributors to rely on a single workflow for content preparation, rights management and streaming to eliminate platform fragmentation challenges and maximize reach. In addition, the player reduces costs by tightly integrating with all Primetime components including Adobe SiteCatalyst®, Adobe AudienceManager and Adobe Auditude®, which ensures for the first time that content, ads and analytics are optimized and inserted within the player to maximize the value of the content and provide a more meaningful audience experience.
The Primetime Media Player is available as a beta today via an SDK for Windows, Mac OS, Android and iOS and will also be extended to include web-connected platforms such as game consoles, OTT devices and connected TVs. Primetime Media Player for desktop browsers leverages Flash® Player, and adds broadcast-specific capabilities such as closed captioning, seamless ad insertion, and advanced analytics. The Primetime Media Player for mobile works within apps today, and will support native browser environments in the future. Consumers do not have to download a separate player for non-desktop devices. For more details, visit our blog.
Full Integration with Adobe Advertising and Data Solutions
The unique integration of Adobe MediaWeaver, Adobe SiteCatalyst, Adobe AudienceManager, and Adobe Auditude allows TV content owners and distributors to optimize their video and ad content, and quickly turn insights into greater revenue. In return, audiences will benefit from video content and ads that are more relevant to them. Adobe SiteCatalyst gives TV content owners and distributors a deep understanding of consumer engagement with content and ads. By integrating it into Adobe AudienceManager and Adobe Auditude, this valuable consumer engagement data can now seamlessly be used to activate audience segments and further optimize the ad experience and revenue. For more details, visit our blog.

I'll keep it short. 1) Russia gets Georgia. 2) S Korea takes out pesky N Korea with our help. China wouldnt mind, I think. Good trade prospects. China may insist on Taiwon, though. (sticky wickit there) 3) USA in Afgh along with India keeps Paki in check. Drones are already in Paki. 4) USA in Hormuz region keeps straits open, could wipe out Iran navy if attacked, protects Saudi, and helps keep Egypt in check. Everyone would support this defensive posture. 5) USA in Med helps with Egypt and Leb. 6) Turkey vs. Syria???? Now Israel could go 1 on 1 with Iran (still a tough nut) and if Iran steps out of that direct conflict we have the right to protect. Also, anyone who would help Iran is held at bay. USA is not defending Israel, only the WORLDS oil. I think Russia and China would go for this. It just came to me last night. I would love some feedback. You all have studied this and I'm sure you can tear many holes in it. Please do. I won't be offended. [/quote] Any comments on this scenario? [/quote] :5a: A most pragmatic scenario. I wouldn't place bets on Georgia though. You also left out Syria. My take is that the only thing O can substantiate is the closing of Hormuz. The Iranian gov is just CRAZY enough to react in this fashion giving the US its excuse. The other bet is that they will retaliate against US Bases which will bring an immediate and devastating response. [b]What I fail to comprehend is how 74 mil Iranians can be stupid enough to allow this to happen. Especially the PERSIANS who have little or no representation in this Gov and hold nothing but disdain for the cuckoos in charge![/b][/quote] makes you wonder if they are also part of the problem, the mullahs go down who is to say they just won't prop up another group of sleazebags ready to pick up where they left off. [/quote] :5a: I know several Iranians who fled Iran and are proud of their heritage they hate the ARABS who have taken over. I would think the same would hold true for ANY REAL PERSIANS! These moronic ARABS in control do not really represent true Persians but by the same token it seems the true Persians are metro types far more ready to equivicate than take any real action unless forced into it. [/quote] Thanks for the feedback guys. I put Turkey on Syria but have no overriding reason. My thoughts were to create a way we can not back Israel but still be in control of the situation. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for standing shoulder to shoulder with bibi and fuck the entire radical muslim world. I just thought it was a scene that could play out (with a few teaks). Thanks again [/quote]
Original Message
In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS, the following was the 2011 thread.
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
The following is the 2012 Thread up to the end of August.
Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
Now we enter into the last four months of 2012. Follow the past year to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread.
Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, 2012 will be the start of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, what the results of the US election have in store for Israel, the Mideast and the US, and what will happen in Syria.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2012 looks to be a year of turmoil.
There are seers warning of some type of sign from God this coming year. The Mayan's seemed to predict something. The Pope may flee Rome? A comet in the sky? Great earthquakes? Signs in the sky?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying.
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.

Power BI and Big Data
If you're worked in the wide and diverse field of information technology for almost any amount of time, it probably hasn't taken you long to discover that the one thing constant about IT is that the technologies and strategies involved change faster than you can learn them. And if you work in business intelligence like I do, you don't have to look very far at all to see change. The Microsoft Power BI team rolls out a software update every month! If I want to stay learned up on the technology, I have to really be on top of things.
About ten years ago when Hadoop was first being developed at Yahoo, I don't think anyone could have anticipated the size of the ripples (more likes cannonball sized splashes) being able to access Big Data could and would have on the IT industry. Hadoop (and other advances in hardware and software technologies) gave us something we never had before: The ability to access and report on data in real time on a scale never previously imagined gives an organization to identify and understand trends and patterns in the data and gain previously unknown insights. The organizations that are able to leverage big data will be the organizations that leave their competition in the dust.
Not only does Power BI Desktop give us the ability to connect to Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for reporting we can also mash it up with other more traditional and structured data sources with minimal effort required. But that's not what this blog post is all about. This post is about setting up a virtual machine in Azure running Hadoop and connecting to our Hortonworks Sandbox with Power BI Desktop :).
The first thing you do if you don't have access to a Hadoop cluster is to set up the Hortonworks Sandbox on Azure. The good news is its free (for the duration of the trial) and its super easy. Just follow the instructions at this link to set up the Hortonworks Sandbox.
Once that's set up, you'll need to add mapping for the IP address and host name to your hosts file. Devin Knight has a blog on this that you'll find helpful.
Once your Hortonworks Sandbox is set up, you're ready to set up your connection to Hadoop with Power BI Query. Start up the Power BI Desktop and click Get Data. Scroll down and select Hadoop File (HDFS) and click Connect.
From there you can follow the rest of the wizard to load the data into the semantic model.
Once the data is loaded, you'll need to modify the query to navigate to the data you wish to use in your model.
In Power BI Desktop, go to the Home ribbon and click Edit Queries.

Three Best Practices for Power BI
Since the release of Power BI Desktop this past week, I've been really spending my extra time digging into the application focusing on learning and experimenting as much as I can. When my wife has been watching Law and Order: SVU reruns at night after the rug rats are in bed, I've been right there next to her designing Power BI dashboards like the total data nerd that I am. When my kids have been taking their naps during the weekend, I've been writing calculations in the model for my test dashboards. Or when I've been riding in the car back and forth to work I've been thinking of new things to do with Power BI Desktop.
Since I've been spending a decent amount of time with Power BI Desktop, I thought I'd take a moment to share three things to know and remember when designing your Power BI models and dashboards that I think will help you make the most of this tool and be effective at providing the data your business needs to succeed.
It probably hasn't taken you long to figure this one out if you've built Power Pivot/Tabular models or at least it won't when you do start developing Power BI dashboards. The visualizations in Power BI and Power View are heavily meta-data driven which means that column names, table or query names, formatting and more are surfaced to the user in the dashboard. So if you using a really whacky naming convention in your data warehouse for your tables like "dim_Product_scd2_v2" and the column names aren't much better, these naming conventions are going to be shown to the users in the report visualizations and field list.
For example, take a look at the following report.
Notice anything wonky about it? Check the field names, report titles and number formatting. Not very pretty, is it? Now take a look at this report.
See the difference a little cleaned up metadata makes? All I did was spend a few minutes giving the fields user-friendly name and formatting the data types. This obviously makes a huge difference in the way the dashboard appears to the users. By the way, I should get into the movie production business. ;)
My point is that the names of columns, formatting, data types, data categories and relationships are all super important to creating clean, meaningful and user friendly dashboards. The importance of a well-defined semantic model cannot be understated in my opinion. A good rule of thumb is to spend 80% to 90% of your time on the data model (besides, designing the reports is the easy part).
I'd also like the mention the importance of the relationships between the objects in the semantic model. Chance are you will have a small group of power users that will want to design their own dashboards to meet their job's requirements and that's one of the beauties of Power BI. But when users began developing reports, they may query your model in unexpected ways that will generate unexpected behaviors and results. I only want to mention this because the relationships between the objects in the model will impact the results your users will see in their reports. Double check your relationships and ensure that they are correct, especially after you add new objects to the model since the
Power BI Fantasy Football Player Stats Dashboards for Download
Every year at Pragmatic Works some coworkers, including consultants, marketing staff, support team members, software development staff and project management, partake in a company fantasy football league. And with the recent release of the new Power BI Desktop, I thought what better way is there to prepare to completely annihilate my coworkers and friends in an imaginary nonsensical game than by creating some nifty Power BI dashboards based on last years player stats as recorded by Yahoo! Sports. So I thought I'd walk you through some of the steps I followed to leverage the Yahoo! Sports NFL player stats page as a data source and some of the query transformations I applied to prepare the data for reporting.
If you're completed new to Power BI Desktop I highly suggest you watch my video walkthrough of Power BI Desktop or read my blog post which walks you through each step of creating your first Power BI dashboards with Power BI Desktop. Last Friday, I also blogged about my three best practices for designing a killer Power BI solution, so take a look at that.
To create these dashboards, I simply navigated to the Yahoo! Sports NFL stats page and found the page for each position I'm interested in for this fantasy football season. I copied the URL to my clipboard. In Power BI Desktop, click Get Data and then use the Web data source option. Then all you have to do is copy and paste the URL into the text box and click OK.
Then select the HTML table that contains your data and click Edit. We need to edit our query because there are some issues with the data. By clicking Edit, we can apply transformations to our query which will allow us to do things like rename columns, remove unwanted columns, modify data types, create custom columns and much more.
One thing you'll notice in the above screen grab is that the column names are in the first row, so we need to fix that.
On the Home ribbon of the Query Editor, just click the Use First Row As Headers button. Pre
Power BI Tip: Use the Treemap Chart as a Colorful Slicer
Power BI Desktop has been out for GA for over a week now and some of the pro's out there have come up with some pretty cool tricks. For instance:
But if you're looking for a way to spice up you report filtering with a little color, try using the Treemap chart as a Slicer for those fields that only contain a few unique values. At this point with Power BI, you don't have any customization options for the Slicer visualization (although I'm sure that is coming down the pipe in a future release). This option won't work terribly well if the field you would like to use as a slicer has more than a dozen or so unique members, but you can experiment with it and see what you can come up with. Here's my Treemap Slicer in action.
To multi-select tiles in the Treemap slicer, just hold Cntrl as you click. To reselect
This little trick relies on the natural cross filtering between data regions in the Power BI dashboards. First I created a measure that calculates the distinct count of the field that I wish to use as my slicer. In this case the field is Genre.
Then I added a Treemap chart to the report using the field Genre as the Group value and the measure Distinct Count Genre as the Values.
Then just resize the Treemap visualization so that the squares are about evenly sized. There's a few ways you can arrange it, but just play around with it and see what you can come up with.
What do you think? Leave me a comment below and let me know. Or if you've got a neat Power BI trick you'd like to share, let me know, as well. I love to hear new ideas! Thanks for reading!
Importing Excel Power View Dashboards into Power BI
If your organization is now a Power BI customer, congratulations. You're now ready to create some very cool dashboards, integrate disparate and disconnected data sources and take advantage of Power BI's ability to modify and transform your data, build interactive and dynamic dashboards and then share them with your team and organization. But until you create your dashboards to take advantage of the new visualization types and other improvements, you can easily import any existing Power View sheets in Excel into your Power BI site.
Above you'll see an example of a Power View dashboard that I will import into my Power BI site.
To import Power View sheets into Power BI, navigate to your team's Power BI site and click the Get Data button at the bottom left.
Then select where your data exists. In my case, I have my Power View reports in Excel saved in my One Drive folder so I'll select Files.
You'll have to log into your One Drive account. Once you've done that, just navigate to where your Excel file is and then click Connect.
After the import is complete, you'll see your new Report and Dataset on the left in your My Workspace explorer. Open the new Report based on your Power View sheet. Now I can browse and interact with my Power View dashboard within my Power BI site.
I can also pin visualization from my Power View report to a Power BI dashboard with other visualizations.
And now that we have our Power View report imported and pinned to a dashboard can use Q&A to quickly generate visualizations using the imported data set.
Pretty cool stuff! It's nice to know that I can easily jump from my legacy Power View dashboards to the new Power BI.
It's important to not that in order to import Excel workbooks into your Pow
There are a lot of fantastic new features in the latest CTP 3 release of PowerPivot, which you can download here. This is a huge change for PowerPivot and really shows how the product is maturing into become a tool that can solve a variety of problems that it could not handle in its initial release last year. You can read up on all the change that in the latest release of PowerPivot here, but I thought I would write a series of blogs detailing each individually.
In this post I'd like to introduce you to the new Measure Grid object. The Measure Grid provides you a new way for creating Calculated Measures for your PowerPivot reports. Previously, anytime you wanted to create a Calculated Measure you had to be in the PivotTable Field List inside of Excel. You would right-click on the table that you wanted the measure and write the DAX formula to create the calculation. While this method is still available (and even has a few improvements of its own) today I want to focus on the new method for creating Calculated Measures.
The Measure Grid is different in that you will find it back in the PowerPivot window instead of your Excel PivotTable Field List. To access it you simply click the Measure Grid icon in the Home ribbon.
This will open the grid where you can begin to write your measure formula. The DAX statement written here is exactly the same as it was done previously but you provide the measure name in front of the formula like so:
This will add the unformatted results of your formula into the Measure Grid within a single cell. To fix things like formatting you simply right click in the Measure Grid and apply the appropriate formatting after clicking Format. You can also delete the measure or provide a description of the measures intent for other users.
As you can see the Measure Grid can also create KPIs but I'll save that for another blog because it will require a much lengthier description. While this new PowerPivot may seem like a minimal change I think it's a great change because it allows the developer of the PowerPivot model to segment out his/her thinking. The PowerPivot window can now be used for all modeling and calculations and Excel can be just for building reports. Like I said this does not prevent you from still creating measures in Excel as well like you would have done previously in PowerPivot.

Quarterback Joe Flacco's game-winning touchdown pass to Marlon Brown on Sunday just didn't keep the Baltimore Ravens' playoff hopes alive. It made him the winningest quarterback over the first six seasons of an NFL career.
The Ravens' 29-26 win over the Minnesota Vikings was Flacco's 61st in the regular season. This moved him over Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who had 60 victories in his first six seasons (2004 to 2009).
While Flacco doesn't put up the passing numbers of a $100 million quarterback, he continues to excel in the category that most quarterbacks are judged by -- wins.
"Joe [Flacco] is our guy, and to me, that's all you really need to say," coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's game. "I love him, and I respect him, and I think he is a great player. I always have."
Flacco set the wins mark in dramatic fashion. He did so by producing his 18th career game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime.
After the Vikings took back the lead for the third time, Flacco drove the Ravens 80 yards in the final 45 seconds for the victory.
Was it difficult for Flacco not to get swept up in the see-saw of emotions?
"You get a little bit low, but it's more just shock," said Flacco, who finished 28-of-50 for 245 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. "Rather than low, you get pissed [thinking], 'Are you kidding me? How did this happen?' You take the field, and you see what you can do. Was it unlikely that we win this game today? Probably, but we did."
Before the Ravens drafted Flacco in the first round of the 2008 draft, they went through 15 starting quarterbacks in the franchise's first 12 years of existence. No Ravens quarterback before Flacco won more than 20 games.
Flacco has been the Ravens' only starting quarterback for the past six seasons and improved his regular-season record to 61-32.

House committee chairman wants carried interest tax rate eliminatedComments Email
By Hazel Bradford, Crain News Service
WASHINGTON (Feb. 27, 2014) — U.S. House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., on Feb. 26 unveiled a draft proposal for comprehensive tax reform that calls for eliminating private equity firms' carried interest tax rate and trims tax advantages of retirement savings for higher-income workers.
Mr. Camp's proposal is aimed at simplifying and lowering individual and corporate income tax rates, but it comes with new surcharges on wealthy individuals and corporations.
His idea to eliminate carried interest and have private equity and venture capital firms pay regular tax rates would mean a 40-percent tax increase, said Steve Judge, president and CEO of the Private Equity Growth Capital Council. "Chairman Camp's proposal penalizes long-term capital investment," Mr. Judge said in a statement.
Mr. Camp would also like to shift more high-income retirement savers into Roth IRAs, which produce more tax revenue upfront. His proposal calls for a 10-percent tax on all direct contributions (DC) contributions made by people in the 35 percent bracket and another tax later when participants take distributions from their DC plans.
"We understand that retirement tax incentives are a tempting target," said Scott Macey, president and CEO of the ERISA Industry Committee, but they "are not what we would consider 'closing tax loopholes.'"
Mr. Macey said the idea of forcing all plan sponsors to offer Roth-type arrangements would add compliance burdens that could decrease retirement savings.
The prospects for congressional action on the sweeping tax overhaul are not high. "Key policymakers from both parties have already made clear that the discussion around this draft proposal will be brief," Mr. Judge said.
This report appeared on pionline.com, the website of Pensions & Investments magazine, a Chicago-based sister publication of Tire Business.
