Global Logistics: Demystifying the 4PL
April 01, 2013
Agnostic approach
Menlo Logistics' 4PL Product Owner Carl Fowler says he does not take issue with Armstong's assessment—but only to a point. Having launched the company's 4PL division some years ago, he maintains that "synchronizing the supply chain" is still a unique service representing the 4th dimension of a logistics provider.
"And it's important to note that just because we are asset-based, this does not mean that customers must use Con-way too," he says. "In fact, fewer than 10 percent of our customers rely on us for that piece of the transportation solution."
Given the increased complexity of the globalized business, shippers require more—not less—information from a single provider about their options, says Fowler.
"We take an agnostic approach to the enterprise," he says. "After evaluating a customer's long-term goals, we develop a strategic plan that can use all or part of Menlo's offerings." Even a company that chiefly offers software-as-a-service can call itself a 4PL if it can map the customer's enterprise, Fowler concludes (See sidebar on page 44).
And then there's the player we all knew as the modest freight intermediary. SEKO, for example, has been in the forwarding business for more than 36 years, but began offering 3PL/4PL services for the past eight years with accelerated success. According to Jim Wallace, vice president of global sales for SEKO, current logistics services include air, ground, and ocean. He says being "mode neutral" is an advantage when helping shippers move their goods and raw materials from vendor to factory to end-user in a JIT environment.
"Also, we provide warehousing services that help customers with space constraints or those who wish to outsource more of their logistics functions."
For SEKO, its 4PL services manage the selection process for carriers and for warehouse management activities as opposed to handling the freight movement. According to Wallace, they can provide supplier management services, transportation and supply chain oversight, and manage vendor compliance—all key functions that fall under the definition of a 4PL.
"There is a fine line between the activities of the two, and frequently a 4PL has 3PL capabilities and takes advantage of those with its customers," says Wallace.
This is a fine line indeed, say industry analysts, who contend that a hard and true differentiation between a 3PL and a 4PL is tough to nail down.
"Ask 10 people, and you probably will get 10 different answers," says Clifford Lynch of C. F. Lynch & Associates, a supply chain consultancy. "In my view, a fourth party is a non-asset business process outsourcing provider. It may or may not be a consultant and often contracts out for the services it provides. It is mode neutral."
Lynch adds that it's similar to the function of the LLP, offering total supply chain or logistics solutions, utilizing its own facilities and systems through strategic alliances with other providers.
Charles Clowdis, Jr.,?managing director?of transportation advisory services for supply chain analyst firm IHS Global, says that while a 3PL or 4PL can certainly be asset-based, it has never particularly been his concern as long as the client is being served well with price and service. "I just never got too hung-up on who owned the assets unless the evaluating party was an asset-based 3PL who would have a vested interest in selecting their assets as the client's solution," he says.
Clowdis recalls one of his "most successful adventures" with a client seeking to outsource multiple logistics elements. In that case they came up with a 4PL that managed two 3PLs and provided another missing service themselves. At the same time, he had to be careful to avoid the appearance that the provider did not favor its own assets when maximizing the value for the client.
"Ideally, a 4PL should be mode neutral and asset-free, but there are exceptions. It all comes down to the element of trust—which is so vital in any 3PL or 4PL relationship. The asset-based provider who favors his assets to the detriment of the client makes for a short-lived relationship," he says.
Horizontal collaboration
Relationships become even more important as the trend for "horizontal collaboration" gains traction, say analysts for Eyefortransport (EFI), a London-based research organization. In its most recent analysis on North American supply chains, "trust" was a word invoked by shippers and their 3PL/4PL partners.
"Shippers who responded to our survey were asked to identify the key drivers encouraging their company to consider or initiate horizontal collaboration," says McKinley Muir, head of EFI's Research & Market Insight.
According to Muir, cutting transport costs and satisfying customers were seen as the biggest drivers for shippers, though enhancing customer service, improving delivery times, and improving overall logistics operations were seen as being very important by more than 50 percent of the respondents.
"The final part of the survey looked at which key barriers are stopping respondents from investing (or further investing) time and money into horizontal collaboration," she says. "There was not a great deal of consensus between the groups of shippers, though the most widely perceived barriers was fear of information disclosure."
Muir notes that this, too, comes back to the difficulty of starting trusting relationships. "Finding appropriate partners is also a significant concern," she said. "For carriers, the need for a legal framework is key, and for 3PL/4PLs, capacity control is perceived as the biggest barrier.
So when it comes to "breaking down walls" regarding the 3PL/4PL conundrum, does it really matter what they're called if the transparency and trust are delivered as promised?
Clowdis may have the answer: "You may get some resistance from those in the industry favoring the expression 4PL, but I can remember when the word didn't even exist. We called these companies 'advisors' before it became so complicated. Personally, I prefer LLP, or even something as benign as 'Logistics Outsourcing Consultant.'"
All those interviewed agreed that acronyms stick around for a long time in this business; and despite the cache of LLP, we may wait for some time before it gains currency. One thing seems certain, however. The "5PL" is not a coinage that will command much attention.

It's disappointing that the situation with Canadian feeds is no better this season. Not only are there very few HD feeds but there's also a shortage of dual SD feeds. My suspicions that TSN and LeafsTV feeds would only be used as a last resort appears to be coming to pass. The Leafs play the Penguins and Islanders this week and there are no dual feeds.
For Saturday there's only one early HNIC game and it's on the NHL Network, although whether or not they'll pick up the intermission features remains to be seen. Then, the late game, at least so far isn't on the schedule at all. I'm not too worried about this....yet.
I don't think any of us should be surprised by this, but it is disappointing.
TSN is the one that baffles me. I can absolutely understand them not going to the trouble to carry regional LeafsTV streams (given that it shows a very limited number of games) or even regional TSN-JETS feeds, but games on TSN's national feed in Canada seem like a no brainer.
I'm sure NHL Network will show the full HNIC show - they always have in the past. And as you said, the late game will likely appear on Ch 769 which is still an empty spot in the schedule.

For all you hip gamers out there, I thought this might interest you. A media company recently announced they are releasing software that will function as a gardening guide for the Nintendo DS. The Royal Horticultural Society has given the 'Gardening Guide – How to get green fingers' their offical stamp of approval.
For those of you who don't know what a Nintendo DS is, let me clairify. It's the world's bestselling portable game system. You've probably seen kids hanging around with their gaze glued to the small hand held device. The Gardening Guide is designed to be more of a guide then a game. You can plan an existing garden or design a virtual oasis. It has an encyclopedia of over 400 plants, information on pests and disease, as well as tips and advice on growing plants. The guide even comes with a virtual gardener named Paul, who will help you along your virtual gardening journey.
Unfortunately, the Gardening Guide has only just been released in the UK, but hopefully if it's successful, they'll soon bring it to North America.

ATLANTA -- U.S. Army Sgt. Thomas Jefferson Barksdale of Macon was 21 years old when he was fighting for his country and lost his life in battle, in Korea.
That was in late 1950, 62 years ago.
He was missing in action and, officially, presumed dead until this year when the Army positively identified remains found in 2000 -- remains found on that former battlefield in North Korea -- as those of Sgt. Barksdale.
According to the Department of Defense, 83,000 Americans, from World War II through the 1991 Gulf War are still listed as missing in action, "unaccounted for." Like Sgt. Barksdale, 7,900 of them served in the Korean War.

These shorts are awesome! The liner is extremely comfortable, much more comfortable than brief liners in my mind. I also have the Brooks Infiniti Notch II (also a 2 in 1 short)and these are way better. The fabric of the Brooks shorts feels more "crunchy" and restrictive. These Asics shorts aren't restrictive at all. The fabric is very soft stretchable, and breathable.

MACON, Ga. - The Mercer women's soccer team struck for two second half goals to pull out a 2-1 comeback win on Senior Day against Stetson on Sunday afternoon at Bear Field.
Mercer (9-6-2, 4-2-1 A-Sun) is now in third-place in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings, thanks to tiebreaker advantages over Kennesaw State and Stetson, with only two games remaining in the 2013 regular season.
Head coach Tony Economopoulos started all five of his seniors in Sunday's contest including Nikki Atkinson, Casey Barrett, Nadja Kolliesuah, Sadie Curry and Jordan Sink.
That move paid dividends throughout the contest starting with a big save from Atkinson late in the first half. With Mercer already down 1-0 after a Stetson penalty kick, freshman Brianne Boldrin fired a shot from the right side that Atkinson turned aside with a diving save to keep the score 1-0 Hatters going into halftime.
The Bears jumped on the offensive to start the second half and received a game-tying goal from one of their seniors. Sink sent in a ball to junior Washida Blackman who laid off a pass to Curry who chipped in a shot perfectly over the Stetson goalkeeper to tie things up at 1-1.
The goal for Curry was her first of the season and the second of her four-year career at Mercer.
Riding the momentum after the Curry goal, the Bears put the game out of reach when a quick corner kick gave the ball to freshman Kim Murphy who fired a shot off the crossbar and in to give the home team a 2-1 win.
Mercer is on the road for its final two games of the 2013 regular season, starting with a game against North Florida on October 25. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Hodges Stadium.

Francoeur ready for leadership opportunity with young Royals team
Jeff Francoeur was officially introduced to the Kansas City media on Monday. After a few questions, it seemed as if the outfielder with the engaging personality had known the reporters for several years. Francoeur's easy-going perspective should translate to a leadership role with a Kansas City franchise that is loaded with top prospects. Francoeur transitioned to the majors in a similar situation in Atlanta. He was a 21-year old outfielder on the 2005 "Baby Braves". A total of 18 rookies were a part of that club that won a division title. Francoeur was helped by a group of veteran players that included Chipper Jones, Brian Jordan and John Smoltz.
Francoeur, who also played in the 2010 World Series with Texas, looks to be the mentor to a group that includes Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer. Francoeur sees the upside in the future of the franchise and is eager to be a part of it.
While he accepts the leadership label, Francoeur also sees the best days of his career in the future. Just 26, he knows what he needs to work on and cites that he has time to make improvements as many players figure out various parts of their game at later stages.
A few Francoeur facts and our observations:
*He is excited to play and live in Kansas City, citing similarities to the Atlanta suburb that he grew up in. He has heard many good things about the city from former Royals and Braves GM John Schuerholz.
*Francoeur is looking forward to being reunited with pitcher Kyle Davies. They played Little League together, both debuted with the Braves in 2005 and are good friends.
*Francoeur is passionate about football, including his hometown Atlanta Falcons. He turned down a gridiron scholarship to Clemson by signing with the Braves out of high school. Francoeur is already researching his new teammates as he plans to have a friendly football rivalry with Nebraska alum Alex Gordon.
*He sees himself as a gap-to-gap and doubles hitter, which should translate well to a spacious Kauffman Stadium. Most of his home runs are line drives, not towering fly balls. He told the media his goal each year is to hit 20 homers and 40 doubles.
*He weighed 212 pounds during his best year in the Majors (2007). Francoeur then added weight in an effort to improve his power, peaking at 242 pounds. He is now looking to go back to a more athletic frame and a weight around 210. Francoeur weighed 217 during his physical yesterday morning, which he jokingly attributed to a big breakfast.

White House hysteria
Politics | Republicans continue to call the Obama administration's bluff on the so-called 'devastating list of horribles' caused by sequestration
WASHINGTON—The politics surrounding the newly enacted $85 billion in federal budget cuts, aka "the sequester," continued to escalate on Wednesday as fiscal conservatives responded to the Obama administration's dire warnings by shining a spotlight on areas of government waste.
House Speaker John Boehner's office announced Wednesday that tours would continue at the U.S. Capitol Building, which contrasted with the Obama administration saying yesterday that tours of the White House would be suspended after this weekend. The cancellation is due to staffing reductions the White House blamed on the budget cuts enacted on March 1.
"We very much regret having to take this particular action, particularly during the popular spring touring season," read a White House recorded message.
But Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, went to the House floor this week to propose an alternative: blocking the use of federal funds for President Barack Obama's future golf trips. Gohmert said saving the estimated $1 million cost of a recent Obama golf outing to Florida would have prevented the impending furloughs of 341 federal employees.
"Perhaps we will be able to get the Democrats and Republicans across America [and] people that don't even have a party because they are just Americans … to get their tour of the White House, and all it will cost is one or two golf trips less," Gohmert said of his amendment.
The Obama administration has waged an aggressive campaign to first halt and now undo the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts. Obama stood with police officers and firefighters to decry the "meat clever" being brandished to the federal budget. He stood with shipbuilders to warn that the "brutal" cuts would harm the nation's military readiness. The president said the cuts would "eviscerate" jobs in education, energy, and healthcare.
Obama has not acted alone in his efforts to stress out Americans. The White House's strategy to inject fear and loathing has been political theater at its best, involving a cast larger than a Shakespearean tragedy.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood predicted "enormous" problems from shuttered air traffic control towers. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said more illegal immigrants would enter the country.
"I'm not here to scare people," Napolitano insisted one day before one of her agencies released hundreds of illegal immigrants from detention centers and blamed the sequester.
Attorney General Eric Holder had no reservations about scaring people. "The America people are going to be less safe," he declared.
Among what White House chief of staff Denis McDonough called the "devastating list of horribles," there were some silver linings. The Smithsonian Institution, the National Zoo, and the Kennedy Center for the Arts had no plans to limit hours. Tourists to the nation's capital may get shut out of the White House, but they will be able to see artifacts, pandas, and plays. Still, if you have plans to see the Blue Angels perform their aerial stunts, forget about it. The Navy canceled all April appearances due to the cuts.
"They were going to make America feel as much pain as possible," Gohmert said.
Despite all the warnings about upcoming furloughs, the federal government had listings for more than 600 new jobs as of March 4, the first full workday after the cuts. They included postings for librarians and painters. They also included 23 openings alone for a recreation aide, reaction specialist, or recreation assistant. The Agriculture Department is seeking three "insect production workers." Those new hires would work on helping control the bollworm population in Arizona.
Federal spending also didn't subside in the run up to the cuts: The Transportation Security Administration, an agency Obama administration officials warned would not be able to staff airports at normal levels after the cuts, added a $50 million contract for new uniforms the week before sequestration started.
That should not be surprising in a government culture where the White House's chief calligrapher earns $96,725 a year. (Her two assistants make $85,953 and $94,372).
So why the furor over sending chunks of the government's budget back four years to 2008 levels?
The histrionics underscore the nation's culture of federal dependency. A class of politicians and journalists cannot fathom that the nation can lose $85 billion in government dollars and not collapse. That's why, in January, the unemployment rate for government workers stood at 4.2 percent compared to 8.6 percent in the private sector. Days after the cuts started, newspapers wrote about the Republican Party's intransigence and began speculating how long it would be before lawmakers stopped the cuts they had forced on the nation.
Lost in the White House's hysteria over sequestration is the fact that the Obama administration created, approved, and signed into law the sequestration deal in the summer of 2011. It was designed to break the deadlock over negotiations to increase the government's borrowing limit. Obama, in November 2011, pledged to stop efforts to get rid of the sequester.
"Already some in Congress are trying to undo these automatic spending cuts," the president said then. "My message to them is simple. No. There will be no easy off ramps on this one. … We need to keep the pressure up to compromise, not turn off the pressure."
In other words, Obama campaigned for sequestration before he campaigned against it. He did this because he was banking on the belief that its large defense cuts included in the sequester would force Republicans to agree to tax increases. The president's sequester replacement plan called for $110 billion in new taxes.
But, on March 1, Republicans called the president's bluff. Speaker Boehner said revenue increases were off the table after Democrats got more than $600 billion in new taxes on Jan. 1.
"How much more money do we want to steal from the American people to fund more government." Boehner asked. "I'm for no more."
That goes against Obama's belief that the tax increases are needed to empower the government to help grow the economy, and it would harm his ambitious second term domestic agenda. He doesn't want what he calls "political gridlock" to stand in the way of "progress."
Obama believes the public supports his approach: "The question is, can the American people persuade their members of Congress to do the right thing," the president asked on March 1.
Americans may not embrace the cuts, but so far they are signaling that they can learn to handle them. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll out Wednesday shows that 61 percent of the public supports the cuts. That nearly 2-to-1 advantage in favor of the cuts may be a sign that Americans see sequestration as a step toward fiscal sanity.
"The American people look at this and say, "Gee, I've had to cut my budget more than this,'" said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, "probably on numerous occasions over the last four years because we've had such a tepid economy."
Obama is right in suggesting that the outcome rests with the voters. If they see that life continues with just a little less government, then the president's gamble may backfire.

While BPM tools have been around for quite some time, they have generally been developed with larger enterprise customers in mind. But there's a new crop of solutions designed to meet the needs of small to medium sized companies.
Intalio BPM Business Edition comes with a selection of process templates to get you started on different departments and functions, including: finance, human resources, and product management. You can modify the templates to meet your own specific needs.
Intalio BPM is available as an SaaS web version and can also be deployed onsite for groups of 20 or more users. It integrates with MS Outlook, MS Exchange, Lotus Notes so workflow tasks can be managed directly from that tool instead of switching to the BPM tool.
Vacava RapidBiz - RapidBiz is designed to run on the IBM Smart Cube appliance. Its applications, called Sitlets, are extensions meant to "sit" alongside existing solutions. Pre-created Sitlets include customer contact management, order entry, help desk support, product quotes and product returns.
ProcessMaker is an open-source BPM software tool that can be deployed on your servers or hosted by them. It integrates with third-party systems including business intelligence (BI), document management, content management, and enterprise resource planning. While there is no fee to download the open source code, ProcessMaker does offer fee-based support, training, and hosting. Quotes are provided upon individual request.
All of these BPM tools are designed to be highly customizable and implemented with little or no IT support. However, as always, when choosing the solution that's best for your particular company, I recommend that you first discuss options with your local IT consultant.

After changing their name and signing to American Recordings (Def American) the band released their debut studio album "Shake Your Money Maker" in 1990. The album hit multi-platinum status and Black Crowes tickets went on sale for a tour with headliners ZZ Top. The band would eventually embark on a highly successful Black Crowes tour.
Shortly afterward, the band released their second studio album"The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" in 1992. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard top 200 chart. The band released four more records, "Amorica, "Three Snakes and One Charm," "By Your Side," and "Lions" before their hiatus in 2002. Black Crowes tickets also sold out for Black Crowes concerts featuring The Grateful Dead in Tampa, Jimmy Page, The Who and Oasis. Chris Robinson would release two solo albums, "New Earth Mud" and "This Magnificent Distance," and Rich would join side project Hookah Brown and release the album "Paper" in 2004.
When the band reunited in 2005, Black Crowes tickets would sold out for a short set of shows with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Since then the Black Crowes have released three studio albums including the most recent "Before the Frost...Until the Freeze" in 2009. In 2010 the band announced that Black Crowes tickets would soon go on sale for a Black Crowes tour named "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys Tour" to promote thier August release of their ninth studio album "Croweology" before a lengthy hiatus.
The Black Crowes are considered one of the keystone bands of modern revivalist rock so Black Crowes tickets to their farewell Black Crowes tour will sell out. You won't be able to see Black Crowes live for a long time after the completion of this tour. So pick yourself up some Black Crowes tickets to the "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys tour today and sing "Seh Talks to Angels" live right along with them!

CAPE CANAVERAL Fla. (Reuters) – First-time astronaut Reid Wiseman arrived at the International Space Station two weeks ago, but zero gravity still surprises him.
"Laughed so hard, I cried yesterday during dinner. Tears don't run down your cheeks in space," wrote Wiseman, who is sharing his observations and pictures with a growing following on Twitter. "Still adjusting to zero g. Just flipped a bag upside down to dump out its contents. #doesntworkhere," Wiseman tweeted last week.
Wiseman is one of six men living aboard the station, a $100 billion research laboratory that flies about 260 miles above Earth.

Tweeting astronauts include two-time shuttle veteran and Hubble Space Telescope repairman Mike Massimino, who has 1.3 million followers, and former station commander Chris Hadfield of Canada, with nearly 1.1 million followers.


text: I have a archery antelope hunt next week (9/7 - 9/11) and want to you know your opinion on hunting techniques. I have the possibility of either hunting out of ground blinds near water and/or on hay fields as well as trying to spot-stalk/pop up a silhouette decoy to try and decoy the bucks in. I have tried decoying before and it worked really good one year (9/18-9/20) and not at all the other other (last week of August). Do you think my CommAndelope decoy (spotting bucks and trying to close the distance and popping up the decoy and calling) will be effective yet or will it be too early? I know it should be pre-rut but I am not sure if decoying is better during this phase or during the rut? I love this method of hunting but I am not sure if it will work yet? Thanks for your opinions!

In response to hangnail's comment:
If all this stuff is true, well fine, TS doesn't play for the Bruins anymore and he's now someone else's problem. If it's not true, we look stupid by talking about it and perpetuating it. Either way, I've had enough. Go B's!!
This is my feeling as well....time to move on.

Scott Schuman's The Sartorialist: Episode 2, Madrid
by AOL Travel Staff. Posted Sep 16th 2013 11:00 AM

One of the reasons we love to travel is to experience cultures different from ours, whether that be across the world or across the state. Go just a few miles and everything can change -- food, drink, language, customs, weather and even the clothes people wear (or don't). For the next 12 weeks, we'll be following along with Scott Schuman, fashion photographer and blogger, also known as "The Sartorialist," as he explores the differences in fashion and culture around the world.
This week, Schuman heads to Madrid, Spain, to explore the fashion and culture behind the sport of bullfighting. Check out what he learns, below.

For business travelers, paying a few extra bucks for a direct flight is seldom an issue, but tourists often book flights with cost in mind, choosing to fly multiple segments to reach their destination if the price is right. If you think connecting at an airport in the U.S. is inconvenient, try gate hopping at London Heathrow, Madrid Barajas, or our other picks for airports to avoid in Europe.

Madrid Slang
by Monica Guy. Posted Oct 18th 2010 04:27 PM
Continue ReadingA visitor to Madrid relying on rusty high school Spanish may not hear much slang, known as "argot" or "jerga," while in Spain's capital. Not because it's rare, but because people tend to speak so fast that unless you're born and bred here you'll struggle to make out individual phrases amid a machine-gun babble of speech. Madrileños (residents of Madrid) delight in flouting the restrictions imposed by the venerable Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy), which tries to enforce standards for the Spanish language. So put down your high-school textbook and bone up on this list of common Madrid slang terms and phrases.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (VN) _ National champion Tim Johnson crushed the competition in Colorado on Sunday, riding alone to victory in day 2 of the New Belgium Cup.
Johnson's Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com teammate Jeremy Powers got the hole shot, but Ryan Trebon (Kona-FSA) soon took the front and led the way up and over the flyover in Fort Collins, looking very much like the man of the hour.
The men's field was lined out straight away, and Powers snatched the lead back, putting Trebon into a Cannondale grinder with U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross series leader Johnson on his wheel. Also there were Todd Wells (Specialized) and Geoff Kabush (Maxxis-Rocky Mountain), winner of Saturday's opener.
"If I can get through the first lap where I'm still close and still see what's going on, I know there are still 55 minutes to go and anything can happen," said Johnson. "I was pretty worried. (Trebon's) got this strength that comes out where if he hits the gas, he keeps going and going."
Once through the start-finish and up the railroad-tie run-up Trebon drilled it, taking a small gap. Johnson, in the series leader's jersey, went after him, followed by Wells. But the Specialized rider couldn't match the two front-runners and fell off the pace.
Trebon had a lead of perhaps three seconds over Johnson at the barriers, and it was already getting to be a long ways back to the chase. Not even two laps into the day's work and this was looking like a two-man race. The leaders took huge risks descending the wide switchbacks through the center of the venue.
"If you're trying to win, you're trying to get a gap and keep a gap, you may as well risk it," said Johnson. "Each race is only one day and if you can put it together, you build on that confidence."
Johnson got around the big Kona rider and set about building a gap of his own. He didn't keep it — but he and Trebon did take 15 seconds on the Wells-led chase with seven laps to go.
It was quite a battle while it lasted. Johnson had the edge where handling and finesse were at a premium while Trebon held the cards on the power sections. Meanwhile, Powers and Wells were riding the run-up and bunny-hopping the barriers, but their display of skills wasn't getting them any closer to the front-runners.
Then suddenly Johnson was all alone after Trebon became entangled in course tape on a tight, off-camber 180-degree corner leading to the pits. In a flash, Trebon was 21 seconds down and looking grim with six laps to go.
"I heard him hit the ground and we were going by the pits right after that and (my pit crew) were yelling, 'He's on the ground! He's on the ground!'" said Johnson. "I tried to put together as fast a lap as I could after that."
The Wells-Powers tandem closed in on Trebon for half a lap before riding past him atop the run-up. Kabush passed the Kona rider, too, putting Trebon into fifth and beginning a free fall down the leaderboard for Saturday's third-place finisher.
"I couldn't overcome some issues I was having and shit happens," said Trebon, whose face hung over his bars, bearing dejection midway through the race. "I had some small mechanicals. It wasn't anything big, but I just couldn't get over it. It happens."
"He was just yelling. He was out of it and upset. You could immediately tell that he was having a moment like I had yesterday, like we've all had," said Powers of Trebon's misfortune. "It's hard to keep your head in the game when you've had really good legs and you want this opportunity and you're in good position."
With five laps to go Johnson had 24 seconds on Powers and Wells, who were battling for that runner-up spot. A lap later the Cannondale rider had extended his advantage by 10 seconds, looking smooth and speedy, and Kabush was trying to claw his way up to the two chasers.
"I felt just as smooth today, but with a little bit more pedaling, I didn't have the snap to go with Tim," said Kabush.
Johnson, meanwhile, was focused on getting it right.
"I tried to not make mistakes," said Johnson. "A flat tire or ending up in the course tape can eat up a 20-second lead."
A mistake can also end a race — as it did for Wells. With three laps remaining, he botched a bunny-hop at the barriers and took a hard fall, injuring his left leg. The former U.S. 'cross champion was slow to get up and rode just 30 feet before pulling off the course. The spill knocked him out of the race — he would be carried off on a stretcher —and set up what was looking like another one-two Cannondale finish. Kabush was dangling some 10 seconds back in third.
"(Wells) was on my wheel. I had to give it some gas to get over the second barrier," said Powers of the crash. "He's seriously one of my most favorite athletes. I look up to him a lot and I love Todd, so the first place I'm going to go after this is to the hospital to make sure he's all right."
Up front, with two laps to go, Johnson seemed untouchable, nearly a half-minute ahead of his teammate and keeping the throttle wide open. At the barriers he had 40 seconds on Powers, who in turn held a 13-second edge on Kabush, and the bell lap saw the top three unchanged.
Johnson had plenty of time to high-five the spectators en route to winning. Powers followed a half-minute later for second and Kabush clinched third at a minute down.
"I was actually pretty okay with yesterday because I wasn't expecting much," said Johnson. "Today I just tried to have a great race and put it all together. Sometimes you can actually do it and it's great, but you can't count on it.
"I can't be any happier than I am to be able to win. It's just awesome. I was just happy to have a good race the whole time and not feel underpowered."
Race note
As emergency staff wheeled Wells from the venue, he said he wasn't certain how badly he'd been injured. "Something's not right in the thigh, quad area. I don't know if it's just a bad bruise or what." The good news is that the U.S. mountain bike cross-country champion posted to Twitter later in the evening that he had not suffered a fracture.

December 2012 Sports Calendar
NYC Sports
by Jonathan Zeller, 11/19/2012
- more in nyc sports/
- events in nyc/
- recently/
The holiday season often means getting together with friends and family you haven't seen in awhile—including some with whom the reunion may be a bit awkward. It just so happens that the same kind of thing is going on in New York City sports in December. Take, for example, the Knicks, who welcome coach Mike D'Antoni and point guard Jeremy Lin back into their home for games against, respectively, the Lakers and Rockets, and then visit the new neighbors, the Nets, at their shiny new digs in Brooklyn. There's plenty of fighting during the holidays, too, with bouts pitting Miguel Cotto against Austin Trout and officers of the NYPD against FDNY firefighters. Fans of the Jets, meanwhile, are wishing for nothing short of a Christmas miracle to climb in the standings after a very rough start, while Giants backers hope their squad has enough left in the tank to stay atop the NFC East and place another playoff appearance under the tree. To unwrap more details about these and the rest of the month's sports highlights, read on.
Miguel Cotto vs. Austin Trout (Boxing)
December 1, 5:45pm; Madison Square Garden
Austin "No Doubt" Trout defends his WBA Super Welterweight title against Miguel Cotto, who's had some memorable moments in the City—winning title contests at Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium. For more info, visit thegarden.com.
New York Jets Football
December 2, 1pm; December 23, 8:20pm; MetLife Stadium
ESPN couldn't have imagined anything better than a 3-6 Jets team with Tim Tebow waiting in the wings to take over starting quarterback duties from Mark "Mr. Handsome" Sanchez, but so far Rex Ryan is sticking with his guy, believing that he gives Gang Green the best chance to win. Most of the locker room seems to agree—so, for the time being, it's Sanchez's job to lead them out of the woods. So far, so good; he led the Jets to a victory over the Rams, bringing them to 4-6 and leaving some slim hope of salvaging the season. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
Battle of the Badges: NYPD vs. FDNY (Boxing)
December 8, 8pm; The Theater at Madison Square Garden
This event pits New York's Finest against New York's Bravest in a series of slugfests. Who will win when NYPD gets pugilistic and FDNY fights more than fire? As is the case with their lifesaving work, the answer must be the public at large—it's sure to be an entertaining evening. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
New York Giants Football
December 9, 4:25pm; December 30, 1pm; MetLife Stadium
The Giants hit a bit of a speed bump in November losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, but don't worry about them too much. At this point, Eli Manning and company's blueprint for a successful season revolves around sneaking into the playoffs, even by the narrowest of margins, and making a run from there. Of course, at least a couple of wins in December might help put that plan in motion. The game on the 30th is against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knicks and More
December 11, 7pm; and all month long; Barclays Center
The Nets, having spent a long time building a new brand (hello, tons of black-and-white merch and less-cuddly mascot BrooklyKnight; see you later, Sly), are also off to a solid start when it comes to actual basketball. December 11 marks the second time they'll host their cross-river nemesis. The mix of Knicks and Nets fans ought to make for a fun atmosphere. For tickets to these and other December games, visit ticketmaster.com. For the Knicks contest, you might also want to check out stubhub.com.
Major League Dreidel Spin the Dreidel Tournament
December 13, 8pm; Full Circle Bar
It might be surprising to see the words "major league" modify a seemingly noncompetitive staple of Jewish childhood, but that's far from the only incongruous aspect of this Brooklyn shindig—the celebration also features Hanukkah-themed metal songs. Plus, the version of dreidel that "major leaguers" play doesn't have much to do with the traditional game; instead of having the tops' Hebrew letters determine who wins gelt (gold-foil-wrapped chocolate coins), players at this year's tournament will compete at something called "target tops," billed as "dreidel meets cornhole and shuffleboard." In past years, they vied to see who could keep a dreidel spinning the longest in a so-called Spinagogue (a miniature stadium for spinning). For more info, watch this commercial from the event's creators, which features brash, anthropomorphized dreidels, and visit brewskeeball.com.
New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers (with Mike D'Antoni), Houston Rockets (with Jeremy Lin) and More
December 13, 8pm; December 17, 7:30pm; and all month long; Madison Square Garden
It wasn't even a year ago that New York City was gripped by the phenomenon known as "Linsanity." In the midst of that ecstasy, it was hard to imagine that the team's head coach at the time, Mike D'Antoni, and their new star point guard, Jeremy Lin, would appear as Garden visitors in December 2012. But here we are! Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks were the NBA's last remaining undefeated team this season, so they're looking strong as they prepare to host D'Antoni's star-filled Lakers squad and Lin's up-and-coming Rockets, who also feature scoring machine James Harden. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
Grapple at the Garden (College Wrestling)
December 16, 10:30am; Madison Square Garden
Those who enjoy old-school wrestling—which emphasizes hard work and good technique rather than over-the-top story lines, and where breaking a chair on the mat would most likely result in disqualification—have an option in the Grapple at the Garden, the first-ever college wrestling event at MSG. Powerhouse NCAA teams attending the meet include Ohio State, Cornell, Hofstra and Iowa, among a dozen more. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
WWE Presents TLC: Tables Ladders and Chairs
WWE Wrestling Raw Holiday Tour
December 16, 7:30pm; Barclays Center
December 27, 7:30pm; Madison Square Garden
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has become one of America's most popular and enduring pastimes, hooking generations of viewers through an in-your-face mixture of athleticism and theatricality. December brings two WWE performances to NYC, one in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan. (Visit ticketmaster.com for tickets to the shows at Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden.) And, oh, by the way, have you heard about WrestleMania hitting the New York City area in 2013?
"Rivals for Relief" Hockey Game
December 22, 7:30pm; Madison Square Garden
The NHL lockout is dragging on, but some former Rangers and Islanders are nevertheless set to take the Madison Square Garden ice. Patrick Flatley (Islanders) and Rod Gilbert (Rangers) are among those scheduled to skate alongside the NYPD and FDNY hockey teams in this Saturday-night game. MSG's website says that some of the money from ticket sales will go to the Red Cross and the Stan Lee Foundation. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
New Era Pinstripe Bowl
December 29, 3:15pm; Yankee Stadium
It's a rumble in the Bronx as the Syracuse Orange and the West Virginia Mountaineers square off for postseason glory (and the George M. Steinbrenner Trophy) at Yankee Stadium. For more info, visit pinstripebowl.com. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
Emerald Nuts Midnight Run
December 31, 11:45pm; Central Park
Get a head start on your New Year's resolutions. While many folks are eating, drinking and reveling to extremes that may have them feeling guilty the next day, you can begin running four miles the moment the clock strikes midnight. Whenever you finish, savor the satisfaction of knowing that, so far, you've exercised every day in 2013. For more info, visit nyrr.org.
There's also a New Year's Eve 5K in Prospect Park. For more on that one, visit nycruns.com.
College Basketball
All month long; citywide

All the locals are in action on campus, too.

|Mill levy override input sought; study committee needed
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Community members who are interested in serving on a committee to generate awareness of the school financial situation and potentially promote a mill levy override election are asked to contact a school board member soon.
Close to 25 gathered in the HHS library Thursday, April 30 to gain a better understanding of the reasons a mill levy override is being considered.
School board president Kendon Olofson said because there is a school board candidate election scheduled in November of 2009 anyway, adding a mill levy override question would not require a whole lot of additional election costs.
However, if the mill levy override waits a year when there is no school election planned in 2010, the cost for the ballot question would be in the $8,000-$10,000 range.
By July 24 (100 days before the Nov. 3 election), if a mill levy override question is to appear on the ballot, the board must notify the Phillips County Clerk of its intent.
With mill levy override funds always coming in a year after they're actually voted on, Olofson pointed out the timing is crucial.
Olofson noted Thursday that it's currently a consensus of the board to go forward with the mill levy override election, which is actually a local property tax increase.
However, Friday he emphasized that in board discussion of the subject there was no verbal opposition to going for the mill levy override.
Olofson clarified no board vote has been taken, and while it's a consensus to go forward, it's not necessarily unanimous.
Kim Killin emphasized the need to articulate what will be done with the additional moneys if the decision is made to seek a mill levy override. She added articulation needs to come early, and the community needs to know what the plan is.
With technology upgrades being one area the district is lacking, that could be a consideration for seeking additional tax funds. Board member Linda Jelden pointed out technology is a term people understand, but just saying "general fund" increase isn't going to be clear enough for the voting public.
Killin suggested before going for additional technology dollars the board needs to make sure current decisions are working. She cited the sixth grade move to the JR/SR High by way of example.
Dist. goals involve money
Olofson kicked off Thursday's meeting by highlighting the board's five goals:
—improve student achievement.
—maintain $1.2 million in general reserve fund.
—work toward a balanced budget.
—build an adequate capital reserve fund.
—study a mill levy override.
He pointed out four of the five goals involve money, and the lack of money affects the first one—to improve student achievement.
Holyoke JR/SR High Principal Susan Ortner, Elementary Principal Jennifer Kral and Director of Budget and Finance Sharon Thompson did a nice job of presenting information to those attending last week's meeting.
A brief video clip titled "Shift Happens" or "Did You Know?" opened their presentation. "We're looking at education that's changed dramatically," noted Ortner. Kral added, "We as educators are expected to prepare kids for jobs that don't even exist today."
The principals asked the community to work with them collaboratively to provide the best education for Holyoke students and to move the district forward.
Thompson gave a financial update, noting this fiscal year (July 1, 2008-June 30, 2009) started with $1.7 million in reserves. While a deficit of $609,000 was budgeted for 2008-09, she said as of this week, it looks like it will be closer to a $200,000 deficit.
Thompson noted the district is talking about a cash balance, which now projects to be about $1.5 million in reserves at the end of the year. She pointed out the audit goes on accrued balance, which could show $1.1-1.2 million in reserves.
Further grant moneys are being applied for to offset the Heating, Venting and Air Conditioning (HVAC) costs the district endured recently.
Declining enrollment has led to financial concerns in the district over the past several years. While the actual student count has leveled off, the averaging of recent years' counts still leads to a drop in the funded student count. A drop of about 19 is projected for 2009-2010.
Thompson noted the district has been conservative and has cut back in many areas. Some of the larger items cut or reduced in the past four years have included professional development, district travel for FCCLA and FBLA, elementary counselor position, library/media specialist, half of an assistant HS principal position, industrial arts teacher and for next year, an elementary art teaching position.
Reasons cited for needing a mill levy override include educational/instructional needs, technology needs, capital project needs and transportation needs.
John Vasa expressed concern for the number of exchange students the taxpayers are educating. However, it was pointed out if exchange students were eliminated, staff could still not be reduced, and the costs would remain the same.
Questions about the new alternative school also arose. This first year, $30,000 was spent from the general fund, and next year $5,000 is budgeted. Moneys taper off in the four-year grant funding.
Looking at an April 15 building suitability study, school officials cited the district's low scores in technology.
Olofson noted one elementary classroom teacher uses her own laptop, camera and clickers. Kral emphasized these teachers shouldn't have to spend their own money to engage students.
From the property tax increase perspective, Kathy Schneller said with the high water tax assessment, their taxes increased 247 percent. It was a major increase this year, especially for agriculture, which she noted pays 37 percent of the taxes.
Olofson reiterated the need for people to serve on a committee to assess the needs and costs and to start conversations among the citizens. "If there's not enough support in the community, we'll have to pass (on the mill levy override election)," he added.
At some point, the board will have to step aside and community leaders take over to promote any mill levy increase.
Board members, in addition to Olofson, are Kris Camblin, Linda Jelden, Dan Kafka, Jon King, Laura Krogmeier and Jeff Tharp.

Friday Afternoon News, Nov. 9
DNR Conducts Fish Kill At Black Hawk Lake
(Lake View) -- In an effort to improve the water quality at Black Hawk Lake, near Lake View, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is purposely killing all the fish within the lake. DNR officials were applying a fish toxicant rotenone to kill all remaining fish within the Sac County lake. Ben Wallace serves as the DNR's Fisheries Management Biologist and explains why the DNR is taking the action to kill the fish.
Listen to
Wallace says it will be a couple of years before anglers will have the opportunity to fish at Black Hawk Lake, but he says the fishing should be better. He talks about the type of fish that will be restocked in Black Hawk.
Listen to
Will the actions of the D-N-R hurt the tourism trade this summer to Black Hawk Lake? Wallace says the lake is still popular for recreational purposes, and believes people will still come to the lake.
Listen to
The D-N-R fish biologist says the toxin will dissipate by next spring. He also says it will not harm birds or animals.
Sioux City Man Sentenced For Child Pornography
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 38-year-old man has been sentenced by a federal judge in Sioux City for using a child in pornography.
Federal prosecutors say Dana Gleaves, formerly of Sioux City, was sentenced Wednesday to 17 1/2 years in prison. He'd pleaded guilty in August to one count of sexual exploitation of a child.
Gleaves admitted that, between June 2010 and June 2011, he persuaded a person under the age of 18 to engage in sexually explicit conduct so Gleaves could produce pornography.
Gleaves must serve supervised release for life after he leaves custody and must register as a sex offender.
More Students Studying Science, Math, & Engineering
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Officials say more Iowa university undergraduate students are pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering and math.
The enrollment in those study areas at Iowa's three state universities has risen 37 percent in the past 10 years.
The Governor's STEM Advisory Council - STEM for science, technology, engineering and math - has been raising awareness in school districts around the state about science-related careers.
Officials say interest from female students is partly driving the growth.
Growth in those career areas also has been linked to the economy, as students seek careers in promising fields.
USDA Lowers Crop Estimates
(Washington) -- The USDA is lowering its estimate for corn and soybean production.
Iowa's corn crop is expected to yield 1.90 billion bushels which is more than 1 percent less than October and down 19 percent from last year. A soybean crop of 409 million bushels is expected for Iowa, which is more than 2.5 percent higher than the October figure but still 14 percent under last year.

WASHINGTON -- CIA director nominee John Brennan's vigorous defense of drone strikes to kill terror suspects is prompting some lawmakers to consider lifting secrecy from what has become an important weapon in the fight against al-Qaida.
Brennan was grilled by senators Thursday on the drone program he leads.
He also was questioned about the CIA's harsh interrogation techniques during the Bush administration, which he denounced, and on leaks of classified information to the media, which Brennan vehemently denied being a part of.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein of California told reporters afterward that she wants to open more of the drone program to the public so U.S. officials can correct what she says are exaggerated reports of civilian casualties.

Learn more about Office 365
First of all I would like to thank 'jbooker' for resolving this issue - http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/2617.aspx
I came up with a bit more elegant way of programming the similar issue by using jQuery.
1) Step 1:Download pdf icon and name it as ICPDF.gif
2) Step 2: Copy & Paste the below script in notepad (or
any editor of your choice) and save it as javascript file. For example
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//The script will run after the page is loaded
// Load the page.
function Page_Load() {
//setting icons
var $pdficons = $("td[class='ms-vb-icon'] img[title$='.pdf']");
var siteCollectionUrl = document.location.protocol + "//" +
document.location.host + _spPageContextInfo.siteServerRelativeUrl;
var pdfImgLoc = siteCollectionUrl + "/SiteAssets/scripts/ICPDF.gif";
$(this).attr({src: pdfImgLoc});
//assign javascript for the pdf files
var $items = $('.ms-vb a[href$=".pdf"]');
var $itemURL = document.location.protocol + "//" +
document.location.host + $(this).attr('href');
onclick: "javascript:OpenPDF('" + $itemURL + "')",
onmousedown: "return VerifyHref(this,event,'0','AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments','')"
catch (e) {
function OpenPDF(itemPath) {
document.write("<embed id='PDF' width='100%' height='100%' src='" + itemPath +"' type='application/pdf' />");
3) Step 3: Save and upload the jQuery file & the PDF icon file. In this example I've uploaded the files under the 'scripts' folder of 'Site Assets' library in the site collection. - "SiteCollection/Site Assets/scripts". (Check the green shaded color in the script)
Check the screen shots on how to enable the pdf via Content Editor Webpart.
Click on 'OK' and you should see that pdf icons are populated for the PDF files and when clicked it should open in the browser.
P.S: Make sure that you have installed the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Thanks for the feedback.
I like it! Thanks for posting!
Especially the part of altering the OnClick and OnMouseDown attribs which appear to be causing an extra Read\Edit message in sharepoint of late. I noticed recently that the HTML output is different for PDF files and suspect MS may be preparing a path to open PDFs in the browser soon.
They appear to be providing the "'Sharepoint.OpenDocuments'" argument in Mousedown and onclick now for PDF files which is new, I think.
I'd like to try to see how it works when referenced in the masterpage and get it to open in a new window.
Does it work well with Grouped doc lib view?
I had a chance to try your code. I like it because it removes the need for a separate viewer page and the jquery is a little easier to read. I found a few things and altered them based on feedback from other users.
1) failed in grouped view so I added some overrides to call Page_Load() upon expanding a group.
2) failed when PDF name has apostrophe so I swaped quotes around.
3) many folks prefer opening docs in new window so I altered OpenPDF() accordingly.
4) dropped sitecollection stuff from URLs to stick with relative links. <EDIT: Okay not a good idea, I added them back>
5) made it so it can be used in masterpage by removing <html><script> tags which required a workaround to include jquery library reference.
6) image still failed when the file is checked out because the title includes the 'checked out to...' after file name. I'm not experienced enough with jquery selectors to fix that quickly and I've run out of time for today.
<EDIT: #6 is fixed. I also edited selector a little to handle pdf links on public site pages since it isn't easy to create a javascript link in public site editor.>
Also, there is not SiteAssets library on P1 subscriptions so that's why I decided to have folks create a new library called Utilities. That's not as important with this solution because the pdf.aspx viewer page is not required.
Save the code below to a text file and reference it in your master page like so:
<Script type="text/javascript" src="/utilities/pdf.js"></script>
or add <Script type="text/javascript"></Script> tags in the file to use in Content Editor.
Let me know your thoughts,
Thanks again,
function IncludeJS(jsFile)
{//includes external js file when this one loads
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'

PS...i ust got this email...wonder if the update includes PDF support???
Dear Office 365 / SharePoint Online Administrator,
Over the next few weeks, we will be updating your Office 365/SharePoint Online environment to bring a new set of features to your service. This is a planned service update. This e–mail explains the expected experience so you can convey the information to your users. You will receive a second notification 24 to 48 hours before we begin your update.
During update your overall experience will not be affected. All aspects of SharePoint Online will continue to work — except during two known periods lasting less than 30 minutes. During this 30 minute period, users will not be able to add new content, edit or add items to lists, search indexing will pause, and you will not be able to make changes from within your SharePoint Online Administration Center.
We appreciate your patience.
Thank you,
The Office 365 Team
I am using this newly modified code and the path /utilities/pdf.js does not work for me. When I create a new site collection, the path to the utilities library is myurl.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/utilities. To reference it in the master page, I had to reference /sites/sitename/utilities for it to work.
Implemented as prescribed. Icons and context menu works fine. When link is invoked, the new window opens but the content of the window is empty. Here is the source for the pop-up window "<embed id="PDF" width="100%" height="100%" src="fccs.sharepoint.com/.../FLEX_BROCHURE.pdf" type="application/pdf" />"
Is there something else that I need to do to actually display the PDF?
The src attrib is incomplete due to a problem with the script. In some cases relative URLs don't work as expected and the Vamsi's script was better that way!
I edited my post above to correct this. Please copy and overwrite your pdf.js.
Let me know.
Have a Great Day!
Thanks Josh! The url is no longer root-relative. However, the PDF is still not displaying in the pop-up window. It is as if the browser is not processing the embed tag??
Page Source = <embed id="PDF" width="100%" height="100%" src="https://fccs.sharepoint.com/FC Systems Library/FLEX_BROCHURE.pdf" type="application/pdf" />
Thanks jbooker for enhancing the code to meet further requirements. I have to still test your updated code and will let you know my results.
@Matt Manley: Did u install the latest Adobe Acrobat reader? Let me know your results.
My compliments to the collaborative effort started by Josh Booker and extended by Vamsi to provide a legitimate solution to one of Microsoft's most significant draw-backs in the SharePoint 2010 Online (O365) service!
The solution prescribed in this post resolves the inability to view PDF files in a browser window for both IE and FireFox. The solution is simple to implement and provides the end-user a very professional and transparent solution.
We have tested the solution with a number of IE versions (8x through 9) using a variety of configurations of the Adobe Add-in versions (6x-10) and found the solution to be highly reliable.
Thanks to Josh and Vamsi for enhancing this system!
Great News!!. PDFs are now supported in SharePoint Online.
Josh, I was hoping you could help with the a couple of questions. I saved this <Script type="text/javascript" src="/utilities/pdf.js"></script> to a text file and uploaded it to my master pages. I also copied the script and saved it to my utilities library as pdf.js. I am not sure about the next step. I want to add this to all of my existing sites and libraries. Mark
Hi Mark,
Rather than save the script reference to a new file in your master pages gallery, you need to edit the existing master page file called 'v4.master'
1) Open your site in Sharepoint Designer 2010
2) Edit v4.master and paste the script reference at the end of the file between close body & html tags like so:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/utilities/pdf.js"></script>
3) save the file and try your site for PDF enhancements.
FYI, public site editor pages don't use this master page they use root.master which I'm told 'breaks if you breath on it' so you have to add the script to each of you public pages.
All pages in teamsite work fine.
Have a great day!
Josh, I followed the instructions but the PDF would not open in browser.
I copied the code above into notebook and saved as pdf.js.
I started at: function IncludeJS(jsFile) and ended at: //End Add Doc Item Menu. The is a blue circle with a letter i next to the v4master file in SD.
I am testing with a P1 site but will apply to a some E1 sites when I know it works. Any problem with using P1?
This should work on P1, except for on public site pages. The above code needs to be saved as pdf.js in a library called Utilities. You can test this by typing the abosulte url yoursite.sharepoint.com/.../pdf.js If the file is there, this will result in a save cancel dialog. Which is good.
Them you edit the v4.master page as descirbed above and your pages should allow opening PDFs in the browser. If you've done this an still doesn't work then check to see if the 'Open PDF in Browser' menu item appears in the document drop down. Dos that work?

MD Formulations was the first company to license a patent on glycolic acid throughout the world. In 1992, MD Formulations was introduced to the international market. MD Formulations discovered that matching their formulations to the pH level of the skin is the key to developing a product with less risk of irritation. The patented glycolic compound is still highly effective but it is gentle and safe for those with more sensitive skin. The glycolic compound has the ability to resurface the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as dark spots and other types of discoloration.
Glycolic acid offers many benefits for the skin, and MD Formulations brings this powerful ingredient to life in a form that is much less likely to cause skin irritation, opening up the doors to alpha hydroxy acid skin care to virtually anyone who wants healthier, more attractive skin. In its raw form, glycolic acid has a very low pH, indicating that it is highly acidic. The scientists at MD Formulation have found a way to raise the pH of glycolic acid without compromising its effectiveness at exfoliating the skin. As a result, the products made by the brand offer truly gentle resurfacing for the complexion to diminish the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, sun damage and roughness.
With the MD Formulations approach to product formulation, selecting the ideal skin care products for your daily regimen becomes easier than ever. Begin by selecting the Cleanse formula that is ideal for your skin type and get the benefits of a purifying formula that removes both cellular debris and surface dirt and oils. Follow your MD Formulations cleanser with the Correct and Hydrate products that best suit your skin profile. Complete your regimen with Protect products and you'll help to diminish the harmful effects of sun exposure and free radicals in the environment to help maintain the beautiful youthfulness of your skin for as long as possible.
Whether you are most concerned about signs of aging, breakouts, controlling oil or skin discoloration, MD Formulations has the products you need for healthier skin.

Skin produces natural oils to keep it soft and supple. This process can get out of balance for a number of reasons. Hormone imbalance, over-exposure to UV rays, diet, lifestyle, and aging can all cause skin to become dry. Alternatively, the sebaceous glands can become over-stimulated, leading the skin to develop a shiny, oily appearance. CosMedix Moisturizers restore the skin's moisture balance. Containing vitamins and plant extracts, these effective products hydrate the skin and protect it from further damage. CosMedix Moisturizers work with the skin's own cell regeneration processes to boost collagen production and protect the skin from environmental aggressors.
While it seems logical that dry skin will benefit from additional hydration, oily and acne –prone skin also needs the benefit of a daily application of CosMedix Moisturizers. Oiliness stems from over-production of the skin's natural oils, which often results from dehydration. By bringing the skin's moisture levels back in to balance, CosMedix Moisturizers soothe and relieve oily skin. Use these effective products as part of your daily routine and you will see a measurable difference in the skin's moisture balance.
Whatever your skin type, there is a product within the CosMedix Moisturizers range that will match your skin, balancing hydration levels and delivering daily protection.
Moisturize your skin and protect it from the sun's harmful rays with CosMedix Hydrate. This light moisturizing cream contains powerful antioxidants that repair damage and protect your skin. Zinc oxide provides SPF 17 protection from harmful UV rays. A unique combination of natural oils delivers intense hydration, leaving skin soft and supple. Apply this moisturizer every morning before going outside. If skin is exposed to the sun, reapply regularly, particularly after going in to water as this formula is not waterproof.
Acne-prone, oily skin will benefit from daily applications of CosMedix Phytoclear . With an antibacterial action, this moisturizer purifies and hydrates the skin. Collagen production is stimulated while the skin's natural oils are balanced. Pores are left clear and healthy. Apply every morning and evening to thoroughly cleansed skin and you will quickly see an improvement in your complexion.
Calm and soothe irritated and inflamed skin with CosMedix Rescue. This delicious balm is formulated with natural extracts of cherry bark, calendula, and horse chestnut. Antioxidants combat the damage caused by free radicals and tackle the visible signs of aging. Skin is healed and repaired, while being protected from further damage. Lavender oil relaxes and soothes the skin, reducing inflammation. This superior balm can also be used as a mask. Simply smooth across the face and leave for a few minutes or overnight.
