Office on iPad: Why it matters to Microsoft, Apple, and us
Why would Microsoft make Office for iPad, and why would Apple want it?
There's been a bit of a brouhaha this week over the possibility of Microsoft Office coming to the iPad. It's been teased, denied, rumored for a keynote spot at the anticipated iPad 3 event, summarily dismissed and otherwise masterfully debated everywhere from blogs to social streams and back.
But does it even matter? Is it merely the significance and symbolism of the idea itself -- having Office on iPad -- that's important, or is anyone actually expecting killer software when years of Office on Mac still haven't provided a truly excellent, fully compatible experience?
Why would Microsoft make Office for iPad?
While education has always been a stronghold of Apple's, and according to their Q1 2012 conference call, almost the entire Fortune 500 is testing or deploying iPads, for everyone from students to enterprise, having a real, compatible Microsoft Office suite on Windows 8 Tablets could very well sway consumer dollars in Microsoft's direction.
Why then would Microsoft want to release Office for iPad -- Word, Excel, and PowerPoint -- when making Office an exclusive for their upcoming Windows 8 tablets would boost Microsoft's own platform and give it a fighting chance against the Apple incumbent?
Because Microsoft is a software licensing company. It's what they do. Sure, they talk a good platform game, and they've succeeded in building platforms, but at their core they're the guys who licensed DOS and BASIC to the world.
Take Exchange ActiveSync as precedent. Exchange was Microsoft's attempt to displace BlackBerry from the enterprise. It was the crown jewel of Windows Mobile, the predecessor of Windows Phone. And Microsoft gave it to Apple, Google, and others.
They hurt -- badly hurt -- Windows Mobile to help -- really help -- Exchange ActiveSync. They chose software licensing over platform success. They chose beating BlackBerry over helping Apple and Google.
There are hundreds of millions of iOS devices on the market. The revenue that could be realized by selling Microsoft Office licenses at $30 a pop (assuming a price similar to what Apple charges for the full iWork suite) to those hundreds of millions of iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users is compelling. Even if Microsoft begins solely with an iPad version of Office -- as Apple did with iWork -- tens of millions of licenses is nothing to sneeze at, not even for Microsoft. It might even make up for a lot of ~$15 Windows 8 Tablet licenses Office on iPad costs them. Software licensing over platform success.
And hey, if Office on iPad helps Microsoft compete against Google Docs, all the better.
Office on iPad could also be similar to Office on Mac -- a second class experience that leads users, and enterprise, dependent on Microsoft's software to switch over to Microsoft platform to get done what they desperately need to get done.
Of course, Microsoft doesn't make Halo for the PlayStation 3, so it's possible Office for tablets will be considered in the same way, but if iPads are really the mainstream consumer computing appliance of the future, Microsoft will want their software, and revenue stream, to be on it.
Why would Apple want Office on iPad?
Microsoft owned, utterly and completely owned, the last wave of personal computing from the operating system that still runs 9 out of 10 PCs to the Office software the powers a massive percentage of work and home productivity alike. Having Office on iPad could pull people away from Apple's existing iWork software and take money from their pockets.
Why then would Apple want Office released on iPad when it would eclipse Apple's own iWork suite -- Pages, Keynote, and Numbers -- with a far more established, more functional competitor on Apple's own platform?
Because Apple is a hardware company. It's what they want. They make razors and rely on compelling but convenient and commoditize razorblades to increase the attractiveness of their products. They're the guys who give iOS away for free and run iTunes and the App Store at just above cost.
Take Office on Mac as a precedent. Office on Mac mattered so much that, upon his return to Apple, Steve Jobs let Bill Gates dwarf him on the keynote stage to announce the deal that would keep Office on the Mac for years to come. It didn't matter that then, like now, Office on Mac wasn't great software (consider iTunes on Windows revenge) it only mattered that it was Office and it was on the Mac. It was good enough for most of the people most of the time. It checked a box and removed a barrier to purchase.
The same holds true for Office on iPad. There is a segment of the market, consumer and enterprise, who simply won't buy or use something that doesn't run Office. Put Office on it and that box gets checked, that barrier to purchase gets busted down.
Does any of that matter?
If Microsoft can work a Windows 7-class miracle and make a fantastic multitouch version of Office, then absolutely it matters. It'd be a fantastic win for everyone. Microsoft's reputation for tablet software would grow, which would encourage consumers to give Microsoft's other offerings, including their platform, a chance. Apple would get more killer software to help them sell more iPads. And customers would get a really great Office suite to work with.
If Office is as middling as it is on Mac, Microsoft's reputation for poor off-platform software will persist, but Apple will still get a massive name on the App Store, and customers will get an app that may frustrate them but will still be familiar and somewhat comforting.
That's assuming Microsoft is even making Office for iPad.
The symmetry of an Office for iPad announcement at the iPad 3 event makes for compelling conjecture.
The last time Microsoft appeared on an Apple stage it was to rescue Apple from near bankruptcy and pledge Office to Apple's user base to mitigate Microsoft's anti-trust concerns. If Microsoft appears again, it would be to acknowledge Apple's unprecedented success in consumer electronics and offer Office to Apple's massive user base.
If it doesn't happen during the iPad 3 event, it could still happen by way of press release and sudden appearance on the App Store. I don't have any specific information one way or another, my guess is it will happen.
Microsoft is a software licensing company. Apple is a hardware company. It's what they do. It's what they want.
Feels like it's just a matter of time.

Office on iPad: Why it matters to Microsoft, Apple, and us
I don't understand your logic at all. iTunes is on Windows and 25% of all Office sales come from the Mac. Having software on other platforms does have its advantages. It's just that neither MS and Apple are interested in making products for Android.
"They chose beating BlackBerry over helping Apple and Google."
Isn't that the same choice? besting BlackBerry was helping Apple and Google with ActiveSync, you said it yourself.
"They're the guys who give iOS away for free and run iTunes and the App Store at just above cost."
iOS for free? are you really sure? I don't think all the money you pay for your iGadgets go to hardware costs alone. Besides, it's not like you can run iOS on something other than what they shove it in themselves.
And why is everyone going on and on that Microsoft is a "software" company and Apple is a "hardware" company. They are both money companies and will do whatever it takes to get more money.
but microsoft does make apps for other platforms. Not to mention i think Microsoft has made a version of word that runs on a mac since like 1984. Now if i was microsoft, yeah, i wouldn't release it on a ipads because it's a real differentiating app suite. But that's me. But point is since they've made mac versions of things for more then 25 years its not outrageous to think it's possible they'd make an ios version.
Another thing is skydrive is on ios, xbox live apps are on ios too. Maybe more stuff but those are the only ones i use from Microsoft.
Another thing to consider about the decision by apple to put itunes on windows is they did that specifically to move ipods on a bigger scale. That was the big way to get people to buy music and sync music. For Microsoft they have to decide if its more important to sell, a probably $10 or $20 software suite to millions or the possibility of leveraging Office to sell, from their perspective, hopefully millions of tablet licenses. I don't know if windows tablets will be a success but if office on ios cannibalizes the success of licensing windows 8 you probably don't do it. If it's a wash, you do do it.
MS has made other apps for mobile platforms. Yes, it has been for their own interests but that is what every company does. You're asking for MS to risk everything. What happens if Windows 8 ARM tablets don't succeed and they don't make Office for the iPad? MS risks losing everything. Businesses haven't stopped adopting the iPad just because it doesn't have Office.
MS still has leverage but the picture you're painting isn't very clear. MS is a software company. Office existed for the Mac before Windows and Office is still the primary money-making machine for MS.
I don't think anyone is wishing for M$ to make Office for the iPad for much other reason than a) the idea Rene talked about of removing a check-mark that holds some back, or b) if it is reasonably compatible, having it so you can deal more effectively when people send you Office files.
No one in their right mind would actually use Office over many of the other products ALREADY AVAILABLE for the iPad (with, the possible exception of Excel for some power-users). It's essentially an expensive translator and compatibility product... and probably much less expensive than it is on OSX. I've had it on my Mac for years. Not once have I used it to compose anything, but just to translate or interact with others that were using it when necessary.
"No one in their right mind would actually use Office over many of the other products ALREADY AVAILABLE for the iPad ... and compatibility product"
The last 3 words say it all... Most of the business world uses MS Office... The "compatibility" part of it is THE most important part! MS Office IS the standard.
I am not sure what version of Office for Mac this author has used, but the latest version is far better from a UI and usability perspective than the latest version on a PC. Further, the lack of tracked changes on the IPad for iWork is an epic fail. I am an attorney who works only on a Mac because Windows and Office thereon are very poor.
I am more bothered though by the fact that iWork on the Mac and iPad cannot even come close to the pet project of Office on the Mac. I just hope MSFT brings us a version that shows tracked changes and allows for them on the iPad and then I can actually work on my iPad. Even if I could just see the tracked changes in iWorks it would be enough, but no Apple strips them out for some assinine reasons. don't get me wrong windows is still crap, but this is one area that irks me,
I'm not really a Mac user, but I've heard that the latest version of Mac Office is as good as, or better than, the Windows version (which I do have experience with, and think it's awesome).
t's pretty obvious that Rene Ritchie has a bit of an agenda or is, at the very least, misinformed and overreaching, stating that the Mac Office experience is lacking...
I have no agenda other than wanting great software to use. I tried to write iPhone 4S Made Simple (you can find it on Amazon) in the latest version of Office for Mac and it was such a disaster I had to buy Office for Windows and run it in a virtual machine.
While casual users won't have any problems, I've heard nothing but complaints from hardcore power users about the problems that they face due to quirks and lack of real, deep compatibility. Some have even switched back to Windows computers because of it.
Claiming I'm biased or have an agenda is cheap and ultimately meaningless. All I want is fantastic software. I'm assuming that's what everyone here wants?
I am sorry for calling you biased. Yes, we all want great hardware and software that are simple to use, affordable and productive. I think the problem is you should provide more solid information, like, these are the facts. Just by calling something crap doesn't necessary mean it's the truth. You can say "these are the problems and everyone can try them out for themselves."It will help people if you provide more information rather than accusations. I am sorry if I did hurt your feelings.
Nice article Rene. I agree except for the statement, "The last time Microsoft appeared on an Apple stage it was to rescue Apple from near bankruptcy and pledge Office to Apple's user base to mitigate Microsoft's anti-trust concerns."
I think it was more of the latter than the prior. It certainly did, as you say, help 'check the box' to prevent resistance to the Mac platform. That was all Apple really gained. M$ was the the one in more potential trouble IMO. The stock purchase was a token gesture (which M$ profited greatly from), as Apple had more cash on hand than nearly any other company in the US at the time. While things weren't looking excellent in their most bleak moments, they were far from 'going bankrupt.' If they had not corrected, I suppose eventually that could have happened, but they really weren't in as bad of shape as is often portrayed.
It is another interesting article- yet again a little bias. Microsoft will likely release an Office app for the iPad. Windows 8 is a full blown operation system designed to work on 'touch and keyboard.' The iPad has everything stripped down to basic functionality. The iPad has limited storage, limited connectivity. Most of the previously owned peripherals will not work on the iPad. But with Windows 8 you can use mostly all of your previously owned accessories in the past few years. Like your printers, external HDD's, keyboards, Disc Media, etc. Then you have the ability to use your previously owned software's, like Office 2007. You don't want need to have a touch screen for everything. Sometimes a keyboard and mouse works just as well. Windows 8 has a lot more to offer on the OS side and I don't see why Microsoft wouldn't release an iPad office app. The ultimate success of the Windows 8 will be based on the designs, optimizations, and battery life. In real life comparison having a full OS is better than any stripped out version of anything.
Of course I'm biased. Every human being is biased. You're just as biased.
Throwing the word around makes conversation difficult if not impossible, however.
Microsoft has been making Windows Tablet PCs, with "full blown operating systems" for years, and struggled to find a market. They have another chance with Windows 8, but that's not this discussion.
This discussion is whether it benefits Apple, Microsoft, and us, the users, to have Office on iPad.
I am not biased; at least I like to believe I am not. I don't have any personal interest in either of the companies. As long as there are good products with functionality, I am all for that. Those weren't tablets, they were crap. There were bulky, unresponsive and the battery life sucked. The only thing they were good for was building your muscles. You make it sound like it is their only chance. Microsoft is too big of a company to just disappear.
Microsoft, will benefit from making an office app. The user will benefit in case it is a well made app with all PC functionality. If not, iWork works just as well. I don't see any benefit for the Apple, they are selling iPad rather well and they can shove iWork down people's throat rather successfully. Rene, here is a question for you. Let's say "Windows 8 is as good as it seems and the hardware is tweaked and designed to work as well. The battery life is as good as the iPad." What would you prefer IOS or Windows?
I think most users who actually try the iWork apps will end up using the more than office. I know I did on MAC. I wish Apple would mat the iOs versions a little more user friendly.
Rene: How is Windows 8 a competitor to the iPad? The iPad has a very limited functionality. I don't even see the comparison. The iPad is like extended portable limited version of PC; like, you have a Ferrari and you need Sat Nav, air conditioning, and maybe a rear spoiler. I would like to see you do a comparison. Hopefully, you be a less biased.
How is Windows 8 not a competitor to the iPad? Microsoft is making an ARM-based version with Metro interface targeted to tablets, and they hope people buy those rather than iPads.
By any definition, Windows 8 tablets are competitors to iPads.
"Bias" is an interesting word to throw around, but it ultimately makes any conversation difficult. Let's try to stick to the issues, okay?
Windows 8 is not a competitor to the iPad. It is designed for all kind of form factors. The OEM's will decide what form factor is rather best and profitable for them. They are not going to be just ARM based tablets. The iPad's are not as big of a threat to the PC industry as people trying to make it out to be. I think you rather write an article; do a fair comparison of the two. I would love to see your point of view on the both.
(First post did not show up, took out HTML link, excuse if both show up.)
The big issue for Microsoft is not protecting an eventual Windows 8; it is protecting the existing Office revenue stream. Microsoft charges $149-$499 per license for PC/Mac versions of Office. They would have to charge (and net) much less for an iOS version. If people buy iOS Office in addition to PC/Mac Office, that is a win for Microsoft. If they buy iOS Office instead of PC/Mac Office, it would be a disaster.
The counterargument is that, if you foresee that somebody is going to cannibalize your market, you had better make sure to do it yourself. Coke essentially killed Tab in the 1980s with Diet Coke; Apple similarly shrunk the iPod business with the iPhone. Both companies ended up in a far better place after they made the tough decision to hurt one business unit before a competitor did. Microsoft may be in the same scenario here.
I think it comes down to simple math. The best path would be to release Office on iOS with SkyDrive integration along with Office Win/Mac with the same SkyDrive features... meaning you can edit the same files on any device. Microsoft will sell a ton of Office Win/Mac (@$150+ each) and there are over 100M iOS users... with 10% saturation at $30 per iOS version will be a quick $300M for Microsoft... tie that with SkyDrive upgrades for your recurring revenue model and anyone can see that Office is the future.
Howdy, I do believe your web site could possibly be having web browser compatibility issues. When I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, wonderful website!
Thanks for another magnificent post. Where else may anyone get that type of info in such an ideal approach of writing? I have a presentation subsequent week, and I'm on the look for such information.
Confusion is caused by adjusting settings after habits have become established. I question why Apple developers made the decision to disable such a function, causing one to dig for the solution.
I think its excellent, no need for fixing if it aint broken! Though it would be good to have the ability to rate pictures
You've used the "I have a bridge to sell you" line already, Allen. I won't use any numbers in here because clearly they mean little to you:

Quarterfinal Primer: Bustamantes and Blackpudlians Dominate WPC
by Mason King Nov 9, 2007, 5:37 PM EST
MANILA, Philippines – Francisco Bustamante, runner-up at the World Pool Championship in 2002, is the favorite in this year's edition of the international 9-ball meet now that the field has narrowed to the last eight players.
Bustamante clobbered 2004 champion and fellow Filipino Alex Pagulayan, 11-2, in the most hotly anticipated match of the day on Friday at the Araneta Coliseum. He will headline play when quarterfinal action starts on Saturday, and odds-makers have installed him as the best bet at 7-to-4.
Bustamante will be joined in the quarterfinal by Joven Bustamante (no relation), a relatively unknown Filipino who has surprised the field with gutty play. And in a major coup for England, two residents of the seaside resort town of Blackpool have advanced to the final: Daryl Peach and Karl Boyes.
Here are the match-ups for the quarterfinals, set to begin at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Manila time:
Top of the Bracket:
Bottom of the Bracket:
In his match with Bustamante, Pagulayan barely had a chance after losing the lag. Bustamante had the TV table clocked from the beginning, sinking balls with a soft break and leaving himself elementary patterns for runouts. Even when presented with a difficult shot, he nailed it – like a three-rail kick that sank a 5 ball early in the match and energized the crowd.
"That is the way it goes; that's pool," said Pagulayan. "He played good. He deserved to win."
After missing a 9 ball in the ninth rack, Pagulayan took a seat and watched most of the rest of the match. He threw out the towel before Bustamante could sink the final 9. The two friends embraced warmly, and Pagulayan proceeded to wrestle on the arena floor with Bustamante's son, Francisco Jr.
"I played a guy who I predicted was going to win the tournament before it started," Pagulayan said. "I lost to the right guy. I'm just going to see him in the parking lot later. Maybe I'll ask him for some money."
Joven Bustamante and quarterfinal opponent Boyes are both first-timers at the WPC. Bustamante beat Japan's Satoshi Kawabata, 11-9, on Friday, while Boyes defeated Europe's top player, Konstantin Stepanov from Russia, 11-4.
"I'm still in shock," said Boyes after the win. An English 8-ball player, Boyes only took up 9-ball a year ago, and cut his teeth on the EuroTour.
He's joined in the quarterfinals by Peach, a fellow resident of Blackpool, England. Peach defeated the sole remaining German hope, Harald Stolka, 11-5.
"It's just a coincidence, really," 35-year-old Peach said of the confluence of Blackpudlians in the quarterfinals. "To be fair, we are two of the best players in Great Britain. But we're the only two pool players in Blackpool."
English players have reached the quarterfinals of the WPC only twice before. Never have two reached that level in the same year.
Kuo won a sloppy match with American Cory Deuel on the TV table, as neither player could get a handle on the break. Deuel, who was suffering from flu-like symptoms before the match, hung with Kuo early, but the Taiwanese began pulling away at 5-5. Deuel seemed to fall apart in the late stages with a couple poorly executed shots, and lost, 11-7. He said afterward that he still felt sick to his stomach during the match.
Immonen defeated Alain Martel of Canada, 11-8, by claiming the final three games of the match. Foldes dominated a fellow former world juniors champion, Lu Hui-chan of Taiwan, 11-5.
In the final match of Friday night, Gomez barbecued Niels Feijen of the Netherlands, 11-0. Nicknamed "Superman" for his barrel-chested physique and wavy "S" curve in his black hair, Gomez battered Feijen with an uninterrupted four-rack run on the way to a 6-0 lead. And it only got worse. When Feijen would get to the table – typically to answer a Gomez safety – he often would leave an open shot for his opponent.
Gomez, 29, may be the most dangerous player left in the tournament. He has displayed the kind of imagination and position play of a young Efren Reyes, and has outscored his opponents 31-3 in his last three matches on the TV table.

Cool weather prevailed in 2011, much like the 2010 season, which was the coolest in a decade. Low yielding secondary shoots grew to replace frost damaged primary shoots after a defining hard frost hit the area on April 8th. Winter rainfall had provided sufficient soil moisture for rapid springtime growth of the vines after the setback of the early frost. Fewer clusters with larger berries was the norm, pushing toward a softer tannin profile in the wines. We employed our standard practice of ceasing irrigation after fruitset in early June and waiting 8 weeks or more until vines began to run out of soil moisture before resuming irrigation in August. We saw seeds turn hard and brown, while flavor in the berries shifted from herbal to fruity as a result of this water stress exercise. The inclusion of 11% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot provides a hint of hibiscus and banana peel to the blend. This 2011 Los Osos Merlot reflects a union of these primary fruit and floral characters with crafted oak flavors from a full year of barrel aging at the winery.
Traditionally, we harvest our estate-grown Merlot grapes across a range of sugar ripeness. The early picks usually capture the classic varietal definition of Merlot, while the fruit harvested later adds depth and intensity to the wine. Clone and rootstock combinations, along with variations in soil, add complexity to our Los Osos Merlot, as does the introduction of recently planted Italian clones. We grow our Merlot grapes in Nacimiento-Los Osos, Arbuckle-San Ysidro, and Arbuckle- Positas complex soils in our vineyards in Paso Robles, where these welldrained but relatively poor soils have chalky or gravelly components.

The 2011 J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot presents a mature red color with a raspberry hue. Savory fruit aromas of black plum and pomegranate are integrated with a barrel signature of cocoa and cedar. Our winemaking style and use of Malbec as a blender accentuates the brighter fruit tones of Merlot and leaves ripe, soft tannin on the palate.

Few scenarios evoke more panic in a parent than losing sight of a child and fearing the child might be missing or in harm's way.
Parents are keenly aware of potential danger and wisely coach children how to safely interact with adults. It is important that a child know the concepts of "stranger danger" and how to respond to a variety of unsafe situations. However, in these scenarios, the physical skills of a child might be overstated and the impact of prevention might not be given enough attention.

What would you do to reduce the chance of dying of cancer? How far would you go if you had a 70 to 90 percent chance of contracting bowel cancer -- and your uncle, mother, father, and two of your brothers had died from it?
Lynne Fisher decided she would do almost anything.
So, even though she showed no signs of cancer at all, Fisher, 51, a former mental health worker, agreed to undergo what might sound like a radical surgery: doctors removed nearly her whole colon and rerouted her small intestine to perform the functions of her large intestine.
The side effects were horrific, she said. For a year, Fisher struggled to control her bowel movements. She fought depression, and she hated her large scars and the 28 staples that had been left in her body. Her Multiple Sclerosis returned. The woman she shared a hospital room with -- who'd had a similar surgery -- did not survive.
"When you're in it, it's like a dark tunnel," she told ABC News in a long phone conversation about her medical history.
But then, one day, she realized the surgery had helped saved her life. And since then, she's never looked back.
"What's a year out of your life compared to dying?" the 51-year-old said from her home in central England. "I get to watch my dogs grow up, my children grow up, my grandchild, I get to see my cherry blossoms in the tree, I get to see the sun shining in the morning, I get to go on holiday -- I get to see life."
Read: To Prevent Colon Cancer, Get Your Butt to the Doctor
Genes that cause breast cancer have been discussed widely for years. But less well known is Lynch syndrome, the gene mutation that Fisher and her much of her family inherited.
Roughly one in 370 people has Lynch syndrome, according to Lynch Syndrome International, an organization dedicated to helping people with Lynch syndrome and those who treat them. It's unclear how many Americans choose to have the surgery that Fisher had: prophylactic subtotal colectomy, which doctors describe as a major surgery that, while elective, can often save lives.
"A person will select the option of sub-total colectomy because the entire colon is at very high risk for cancer," said Dr. Henry Lynch, who discovered Lynch syndrome in the 1960s and is now the chairman of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at Creighton University and the director of Creighton's Hereditary Cancer Center. "Lynch syndrome goes from one generation to the next. And it has an early age of onset in colon cancer."
Fisher's battle with bowel cancer began more than 20 years ago. She said she has suffered unbelievable tragedy and found inspiration from some likely and unlikely places: her sons, a stray dog, and Sharon Osbourne.
'I Was Very Numb. I Couldn't Think'
Fisher's battle with bowel cancer began when she was in her early 30s. Long before she knew about her own susceptibility, her uncle got sick. He died in 1982.
Shortly after, her father got sick. She held his hand as he died from bowel cancer, almost exactly one year after his brother died.
Then, 10 years later, Fisher's brother Mickey was diagnosed with bowel cancer at 28. He was dead at 30, leaving behind two children and a pregnant wife.
"After Mickey died, I had a bit of a nervous breakdown," she admits.
Even though bowel cancer had taken three of her closest blood relatives, doctors "still didn't make a connection." Back then, few believed that bowel cancer was genetic.
One person who did was Dr. Lynch. Today, he is widely regarded as one of the fathers of cancer genetics. But when he discovered hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer -- known today as Lynch syndrome -- few believed him. He wanted his discovery to encourage people with family histories of cancer to get checked, but many experts argued against any link between family history and cancer.
March 22 is now recognized as Lynch Syndrome awareness day.

The completion of the Mark Clark Expressway got the $138 million jolt that could jumpstart the long-stalled project. But that doesnt mean opposition to the controversial road will quiet down anytime soon.
DOT role
State Rep. Chip Limehouse said the Department of Transportation now must agree to take over the project and make it a priority.DOT officials have said they have made no decisions or commitments on Interstate 526, and they dont know when they will make a decision.
The S.C. Transportation Infrastructure Banks seven-member board voted unanimously via teleconference Friday to guarantee an additional $138 million for extending Interstate 526 from West Ashley across Johns and James islands.
Previously $420 million was available, but the state Department of Transportations latest estimate for the project is $558 million.
The DOT is considering taking over the project, but officials have said they would not do that unless money was available to complete it and they were certain it had widespread community support a survey to help determine that is under way.
State Rep. Chip Limehouse, a Charleston Republican and member of the banks board, said board members were united in their support of the project. The meeting was over in less than 10 minutes, he said.
The road is needed to alleviate traffic congestion and improve hurricane evacuation, he said. Once it is built, the entire Charleston area will move better, he said. This was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Limehouse said he has been hearing conversations about I-526 since he was 15 years old. Hes now 50 and thinks its time for the project to move forward. I dont want to wait another 35 years.
The Infrastructure Bank would borrow money for the I-526 project by issuing bonds.
The final $138 million would come from money the bank could borrow after 2020.
House Speaker Bobby Harrell, a strong supporter of the project, also has said its time to get it under way.
Some local groups remain opposed to the project because they think it will promote sprawl, and that there are other more pressing road projects.
Robin Welch from Nix 526, a local grass-roots group, said members of her group were irate when they learned Thursday that the bank board had met without notifying the public that it would discuss I-526. It was a corrupt move, low-down and dirty, she said.
Nix 526 has more than 2,000 members on Facebook, and another 300 on a traditional mailing list, she said. On Friday, more than 100 new people signed on to the groups Facebook page, the most for any single day so far.
Members also are bothered that the bank didnt wait for the results of a DOT survey on whether residents support the project, Welch said.
The department sent a questionnaire to 5,000 randomly selected homes late last month to gauge community support. Officials have not yet said when they expect the survey results.
A Charleston County Council committee this month considered bringing the matter to voters in November, but a majority of council members were opposed to doing that.
Council voted in January to turn over the project to the DOT, but the department hasnt yet agreed to take it.
Welch said her group will continue to fight the project, but she does not know yet how it will do that.
Chris DeScherer, senior attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center, sent letters to members of the banks board Friday, expressing opposition. The center represents the Coastal Conservation League, an opponent of the project.
There are some very serious problems with this project in terms of environmental laws, DeScherer said. And it wont help local traffic problems, he said. It likely will make them worse.

Wind: 8 mph
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed new rules for how brewers and distillers handle their spent grain that fly in the face of common sense and fiscal and environmental soundness.
Currently many brewers and distillers in Vermont and beyond provide their spent grain to area farmers where it is used to feed their livestock. Spent grain is of no use to brewers, but it is a valuable food source for farmers.
This very common practice achieves several things – it keeps the grain out of landfills (and Vermont law is about to prohibit putting any organic materials in landfills), saving brewers and distillers money, and it provides feeds for farmers, saving them money as well.
Keeping the spent grain out of landfills prolongs landfill life and reduces the methane gases produced at landfills.
The FDA rule would require brewers to dry and then package the spent grain before it goes to farmers. Additionally, it creates other record-keeping, processing and testing requirements.
According to Vermont Congressman Peter Welch, the FDA has failed to demonstrate the need for the changes and has further not justified the harm it will cause to brewers and farmers.
Welch called the proposed rules "a solution in search of a problem" this week.
The model that we should be looking for in our food and beer production, our waste management and our disposition of our organic waste should be to keep that circle as tight and local as possible.
Grow the grain as close to the breweries and distilleries as possible. When it is spent, get it to a local farmer for his or her livestock. Eat that local livestock when possible and use the manure from that pig or cow or sheep for compost.
There is no need to make it more complicated that than. Our brewers and distillers deserve better than that. Our farmers deserve better than that and our landfills definitely deserve better than that.

Remembering Susan Blake
We lost a good friend this week. Susan Blake, a dedicated activist and a Long Island SOA Watch board member, passed away on October 3.
Mara Bard of Long Island SOAW remembers Susan Blake:
Susan was the voice of the organization PeaceSmiths. She was on many fronts struggling for peace, justice, equality, and a better education and health for everybody . . . and for many more issues that will take too long to enumerate.
Susan was an inspiration for all of us with her ideas and suggestions. She never missed an opportunity to mention in public the need to close the SOA.
Every November when I went to Fort Benning to protest in front of the SOA, Susan and many other activists did a simultaneous demonstration in front of Peter King's office. In the past years, we connected through a cell phone and I used to report what was going on from Fort Benning, Georgian, to Long Island. So, this year will be very hard not to hear Susan's voice on the other side of the line.
The people who knew Susan were very lucky to enjoy her friendship, a friendship with a warm and committed human being, one of those rare jewels.
She will be missed by many of us.

Ben Franklin was MacrobioticPosted on October 26th, 2011 by Denny Waxman
Ben Franklin is one of my heroes because of his practical, creative genius and his connection to Philadelphia. While rereading his autobiography recently it occurred to me that he was not only one of our founding fathers but also a father of macrobiotics. Ben Franklin is a role model for macrobiotic practice.
He became a vegetarian at 16 and tried to share this practice with his friends. He also had a grain-based diet with regular eating habits and lifestyle practices. It is very reminiscent of my 7 Steps, which I refer to as the pillars of macrobiotic practice. I think of the 7 Steps as a regular and orderly approach to diet and lifestyle. This is completely in line with Ben Franklin.
Ben Franklin was closely tied to nature through gardening and seed exchange and the range of his social activities is legendary. We now enjoy so many of the institutions and inventions he created including hospitals, libraries, fire department, etc.
It deeply saddens me that we have moved so far away from the nature and values of Ben Franklin. It is one of my goals to show that the roots of macrobiotics are shared by all of the world's longstanding cultures. They are common to all of us. What better place to start than Ben Franklin. There is no better time to start re-establishing these connections than now.

KATHMANDU, FEB 10 - A standoff between DAV Sushil Kedia Bishwa Bharati Higher Secondary School and the All Nepal Teachers' Organisation (ANTO) has taken a toll on thousands of students.
All academic institutions, from the pre-primary level to the higher secondary, in the district remained closed on Sunday, owing to a shutdown called by the CPN-Maoist-affiliated ANTO and All Nepal National Independent Student Union (Revolutionary), demanding reinstatement of three teachers the DAV Sushil administration fired in September last year.
Around 300,000 students from 522 schools—324 private and 198 community—have been hit by the strike.
The two political bodies have accused the school of using "unapproved Indian textbooks that "undermine Nepal's national sovereignty."
The unions are up in arms for the past five months after the Jawalakhel-based school sacked the three teachers, citing 'incompetence and lack of professionalism.' While Sagar Thapa and Santosh Jha had been fired in September, Rajendra Manadhar, who had been working in the school for five years, was sacked in mid-December. Manandhar was accused of conspiring against the school administration. "We launched stern protests as the school administration did not wake up to our mild demonstrations," said ANTO Chairman Guna Raj Lohani, adding that everyone should protest the school's act of using the Social Science textbook that, according to him, says Gautam Buddha was born in India and Mount Everest is also located there.
However, the school administration has accused the unions of politicising minor issues that have already been settled. It claimed that the teachers were expelled because they did not abide by the rules and regulations of the school. "Nobody has the right to play with the future of students to serve their petty political interests," said Ram Chandra Khanal, the vice-principal of the school. He said the 'controversial' textbook is not used in the school.
According to the Lalitpur District Education Officer, Mankaji Shrestha, several attempts to resolve the conflict through talks failed as both the parties stuck to their guns. He said the DAV administration ignored directives to change the curriculum.
The Ministry of Education has formed a team led by Under-secretary Shankar Karki to investigate the matter and recommend solutions.

Geri-The colors all work together in a strong way yet a soft way. It looks great!
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
I drew this early this morning. It's too big at 12x18 to put through the scanner and I had to use my phone and email to myself. This is the biggest sketch I've ever done aside from drawing on a wall at my other house. It's sketch paper using an 8B pencil I did a really fast sketch and then tweaked it off and on up til now. I'm trying to get geared up to start trying my hand at figure drawing. The orchid painting from yesterday isn't all the great but parts of it are alright so I'll scan those two little pictures and post them in a couple of days.
Alex ( I wonted to name our daughter Alex) Thank you for your comments. The eggs are in that position because originally there was a burner next to them and running off the canvas. I was having a terrible time trying to paint them and for some reason they magically disappeared.
C and C always welcomed
Catherine we used to do quick figure (clothed) drawings in college. We drew on newsprint and I liked to use Cont'e crayon or a regular dark colored wax crayon. In the few seconds that you had to draw the crayons forced you to do very loose drawings with no detail. Just a thought that maybe you would like to try.
Catherine, this is a great drawing of orchids. It would be really pretty in color. I particularly like the leaves since you varied the shapes and used lots of values. One thing to point out is that if the curve at the top of the pot is that rounded and you can see down into the pot, then the curve at the bottom of the pot would be more curved. I hope that makes sense to you.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Geri- I have a soft charcoal pencil, a china marker that just seemed to show up in my stuff lol and also a Cont'e Sanguine pencil so I could any of those. I have a big drawing board set up in my living room that I think would be just fine to stand at and do quick big drawings. A while back I bought a 42 inch. mixed material angel that has a wreath of roses in her one hand and the other empty and her wings can be removed. She's in the living room and I have her on an end table that makes her about the right height for an acutal adult size person. I can work on her until I am able to actually take a class. I can see that I start out doing a loose drawing and then instead of stopping I get caught up in the details. I could have done more than one loose drawing if I hadn't used the time doing details on this one.
That makes total sense Sam and I hadn't even noticed that until you pointed it out. Maybe I will try to go back in and correct that. Yes, they would be pretty in color and I'll have to do a fast sketch on watercolor paper next time so I can paint it. I'm going to post two more pictures if that's ok. One is of another orchid I have that hasn't bloomed yet and painted a few months ago. The other is a vase of little sunflower looking flowers and some things from my yard that I painted last month. I painted the orchid inside and sat outside to do part of the sunflower and vase picture.
Sam I will have to post the other picture tomorrow. It's in my member's gallery under Quiet Celebration. I can't seem to find it anywhere in my pictures here in this laptop.
Catherine, you manage to put the watercolor on and leave it without overworking. That is a big plus. The orchid leaves are great. Wonderful shapes, colors and good values. I particularly like the purple on the leaves. It may help to put a little darker value in a few spots of the roots and the shadow side of the pot to give it the feeling of roundness. I like this one a lot and praise your masterful use of watercolor.
Thank you for the compliment Sam. I've been a little "art needy" today. I'm not usually like that but it's so nice to have a place to show my work and get honest feedback and good advice. I went ahead and rounded that pot out more and it looks much better regardless of the fact it's leaning to the left a little. Thank you for your time today as I know you're still busy with your daughter. I hope she is healing quickly.
Just sitting around and decided to draw a cement ornament I have out in the back yard.
one color "Marine Green" prisma color pencil. time 2 hours. 5x8 Strathmore pad. No Background.
Titled "I Love My Leisure Time"
It would be nice if we messed up we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over
C & C Always Welcome
Very cool. I Iike the green color. I might have to pick up a couple of colored pencils. You're shading is very nice too.
Your frogs are very well done and cute too. Good job.

Post fashion week hotel review...sort of.
While hundreds of guests gathered in the newly redesigned second-floor Thom Bar at 60 Thom[p]son, Piven insisted on hiding out most of the night at a private table at Kittichai on the first floor.
When he finally showed up to fulfill his obligation, Lowdown overheard him whining to his publicist: "I've stayed in other rooms in this hotel, and my room is the smallest. I measured it, and the room is 11 inches smaller than my bed at home."
As we know, even when you splurge for the larger rooms at 60 Thompson, you are still gonna find them kinda cramped.
Oh, and Ari, dude, next time you want to vent about your hotel, bypass your publicist and send your hotel rants our way--we live for that stuff.

Check out The CheckIN Game Harvest Report Program
In increasing numbers, deer and turkey hunters are bucking tradition.
That tradition is the in-person check station, which for 30 years was the only way hunters could meet the mandatory requirement of reporting what they harvested.
In 2012, hunters were given an additional reporting option — the CheckIN Game system (www.CheckINgame.dnr.IN.gov).
CheckIN Game is a free online system that helps hunters meets the mandatory requirement of reporting harvested game. It can be used from any device that is connected to the Internet. Hunters who use the system receive a confirmation number that must be written on a temporary transportation tag.
The online system was an instant hit two years ago with Mark White, a deer and turkey hunter from West Lebanon.
"It's so much more convenient," he said. "I checked all of mine in on my smart phone before I left the field. It was much less hassle … I'm a huge fan of CheckIN Game, and I hope it's here to stay."
Almost 49 percent of the deer harvested in 2013 were reported using the CheckIN Game online or phone-in options. Online reports accounted for 58,887 deer, or 47 percent of the total harvest. While about 53,400 deer were reported online in 2012, it represented only 39 percent of the total harvest for that season.
At the same time, phone-in reports nearly tripled, from 708 in 2012 to 2,008 in 2013.
"It appears that more hunters are slowly gravitating toward the CheckIN program," DNR deer management biologist Chad Stewart said. "There's no doubt it's convenient for hunters, but there are still others who enjoy going to traditional check stations.
"I expect CheckIN Game participation to grow as more hunters become comfortable with the system."
The system also tracks year-to-year harvest information. Participants can go to the website, enter their customer identification number and date of birth, and choose "View Previous CheckIN Game." It can also be used to find a confirmation number if it is lost.
CheckIN Game was launched as a pilot program in the spring 2012 wild turkey season and expanded to include deer hunting last fall.
The phone-in option can be used by calling 1-800-419-1326. However, there is a $3 charge for this service (Visa or Mastercard only).
An instructional video on how to use the CheckIN Game system can be found on the DNR's YouTube channel at Youtube.com/idnrvideos.
Regulations in red are new this year.

Lares Trek to Machu Picchu
Cusco, Peru
Prices From: $1,821 per person
Peru is a land of incredible natural beauty, rich cultural traditions, and mysterious ancient ruins. The lost Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is just one of many ancient ruins making this a premier destination for the explorer-at-heart. Even amid the natural splendor of the country, it is difficult not to notice the cultural, historical, and political roots of Peru, observable in the diverse architecture and cityscapes.
This alternative Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu is an interesting mixture of spectacular mountain scenery, glacial lakes, waterfalls, high plains, hot-springs, and charming Andean villages. The views of the snow topped peaks of Veronica, Chicon, Pitusiray and Sawasiray keep us company most of the way.
This trek also boasts a chance to visit the lovely hot-springs at Lares village and a chance to barter for local weavings along the route. The final location of the Pumamarca ruins and the superb walk down on an original Inca trail along massive, remarkably well-preserved Inca terraces to the back entrance of Ollantaytambo completes this satisfying trek.
From the Inca Fortress town of Ollantaytambo, we embark on the famous and scenic Orient Express train to the lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu, and a night is spent in the colourful town of Aguas Calientes before spending the whole day exploring the awe-inspiring, 'new wonder of the modern world', Machu Picchu, with a private guide. The return to Cusco is by train and private bus.
Detailed Itinerary

We descend past some spectacular waterfalls, crystal clear lakes, Llama herds and Viscachas (long-tailed rabbits) to the small village of Cuncani, where we have our picnic lunch.

Accommodation Information
Tupac Yupanqui Palace Hotel
The quaint Tupac Yupanqui Palace Hotel is one of Cusco's most historically significant as well as conveniently located accommodations. It is situated only 2 blocks from the main square, Plaza de Armas, putting you within minutes' reach of all the entertainment, culture, dining, and nightlife that the ancient city has to offer.
The hotel itself is housed within an old Inca palace that once belonged to Tupac Yupanqui, grandson and successor to the great 9th ruler of the Inca state, Pachacutec, in the late 1400s. When the Spaniards arrived and colonized Peru in the 1500s, the noble Don Pedro de Barco became the new owner of the residence. Today, renovated to retain much of the palace's previous glory and charm, the hotel still features parts of the original Inca walls.

Five ways you can wear leopard pumps
As animal print continues to remain a trending topic this season, you might want to think about a more chic and sassy look. Leopard pumps are an exquisite look for your wardrobe selections whether you wear them to work or for an elegant night out! Although you do not have to commit to leopard print from head to toe, you can still accessorize around your pumps to jazz up the overall style of your wardrobe. Leopard pumps are a classic style that go with just about everything. Just be mindful about matching them with neutral pieces to let your style shine. Here are some tips on how to fashionably mix and match along with your leopard pumps:
- For work, you can express professionalism through a simple black or tan colored pencil skirt or a more polished and conservative all-black dress.
- If you have a lot of neutral colors in your closet such as the browns, blacks, or beiges, you can slip on your pumps to give your full wardrobe a pop of color through your shoes.
- For an elegant evening, spice up your wardrobe by matching your pumps with an elegant black cocktail dress and a red clutch. You can also apply red lipstick in order to accentuate red as the standout color.
- Or, you can look stunning in a dashing red cocktail dress if you decide to opt into some color. Emphasize the overall red and gold aspect of your wardrobe by accessorizing with gold bangles and diamond ear studs.
- For the weekend, switch it up by wearing some red colored skinny jeans along with a chambray button up long-sleeve shirt.
