Becoming & Staying An Industry Leader Is Priority #1 for Finance. Yes, Finance!

Finance teams are the performance management captain of the corporate ship empowered to provide the executive team, and business and support units with real insight and understanding of past, present, and future performance while guiding them on what the information means to each of their constituents and how it can be interpreted for decision making. That is their most strategic value to the business. However, because of the explosion of information, speed of business, growing systems through M&A and unique information capture needs of different areas of the business not to mention growing business practice demands, such as regulatory compliance to meet the regional, national, and global reporting requirements, the corporation's most important analytical asset, finance departments, remains mired in just completing the basic week-to-week tasks without providing this strategic guidance. As a result, emerging trends, exploitable opportunities, efficiency gains, addi
In the 1960′s, IBM was the 800-pound gorilla in the mainframe business whose technology supremacy went unchallenged and superior performance went virtually unabated into the 1970′s. They were the blue suits bearing information-based mainframes to help companies use data to run their large – sometimes multinational – businesses with greater know-how about customers, products, operations, and financial performance far more adeptly than any other technology could. Yes, they were considered the masters of product innovation largely due to world-class business practices and industry expertise. However, Big Blue got complacent and far too comfortable in their long held pole position. Their inflated confidence and market share eventually disintegrated as they missed the advent of the new information-based technology, which, if they would have had the right analytic capabilities in place, they would have seen it coming; the emergence of the minicomputer. Minicomputers were technologically simpler than mainframes but with stronger computing power while requiring less resources to run them. To be fair, it wasn't just IBM that missed the advent of minicomputers. It was virtually every mainframe company in existence at that time. This new technology virtually wiped out the entire mainframe business such that no mainframe business would be a major player in the minicomputer business at all.
What happened? What was missed? Who screwed up?
In my opinion, there were many failures that caused this emerging technology to go unaddressed by IBM and others, but the chief culprit who could and should have been prepared for it was finance. Yes, I think it's up to finance as the owners of business performance (past, present, and future) to fundamentally understand the business climate – internally and externally – to then advise their corporate constituents on what the information they've analyzed means to them. For this to happen finance needs to get a handle on its core responsibilities before it can begin to really spot these performance-sapping icebergs that can possibly turn into business shuttering threats.
Let's get back to the technology story for a minute if that's okay. Then, I'll finish my point.
Where were we? IBM's out because the mainframe business has gone south – way south by way of the minicomputer. Exit IBM. Enter Digital Equipment Corporation. DEC virtually created the minicomputer business along with a few other aggressively managed companies like Data General, Prime, Wang Computer, Hewlett-Packard, and Nixdorf. Did DEC and others in the minicomputer business learn any lessons from IBM's big miss on the minicomputer market so as to not repeat the same mistake? Of course not. The story of DEC's demise rings almost too tellingly true to IBM's mainframe debacle of the 1970′s. In fact, the management gurus and business journals missed it too. Digital Equipment Corporation was considered by all who had some insight into the company's operations as being the ultimate technology company for decades to come. For certain it was a featured company in the McKinsey Study that became the stellar 1980′s management book, In Search of Excellence. DEC seemed destined for monster success. Still, despite all this fanfare, DEC missed the next wave in computing technology, the desktop computer market.
Again, where was finance watching past performance by measuring and monitoring it, to get analytical insight into what the future might look like to then advise their constituents across the business on what all of this means to each one of them? Answer: Heads down.
The desktop computing market was predictably seized not by DEC or one of its minicomputer compadres but by Apple Computer, Tandy, Commodore, and IBM's PC-division. (Yes, IBM can't be held down for long!)
What happened next? Like Rick Blaine says in the movie Casablanca, "Play It Again, Sam." Apple, Tandy, IBM and the rest of the desktop computer gang focused on making the best desktop computers they could but ended up missing the next new, new thing. Apple Computer and IBM lagged 5 years behind bringing the latest-and-greatest technology rage to the market: portable computers. That market was owned by Silicon Graphics, Sun, and Apollo – all newcomers to this market.
In each case, the leading companies mentioned were regarded as the gold standard given their product excellence and operational execution only to be quickly pushed aside by an out-of-nowhere, technologically superior solution that reset the market's expectations rendering the prior leader's solution frumpy and stale. Missing emerging trends in the marketplace and not adapting to them quickly enough can ring a death knell for most companies. Think Wang, Silicon Graphics, Apollo. For others, this misstep can set them back 5 or even 10 years before they're back on their feet again.
As a note, in the above example, I simply chose the technology sector but we could have easily used the retail merchandising sector (Think Sears vs. Nordstrom) or retail books (Think Barnes & Noble vs. Amazon), or Automotive (Think GM vs. Toyota). Each situation is an example of a failure to see the changing landscape which, I believe, finance is mostly at fault for squandering these opportunities.
How come finance? I think finance failed their companies in each instance because they weren't effective enough in managing the day-to-day, low value tasks which, if they had them under control, they would have greater leverage to spend time on higher-value practices like forecasting and business analytics to uncover data points that can help the entire business spot emerging market forces before it's too late to respond. This responsibility to identify these threats and opportunities lies squarely on finance. If not them, then who else? Be careful because whomever you'll name will probably expect finance to provide them with the meaningful insight into performance results across the business as well as external information, which, again, means it's incumbent on finance.
So, how does finance get to that point where it's able to provide this kind of insight with the resources it has because Lord knows it's not going to get additional headcount? Well, it all starts with finding a way to better leverage the resources it has. This requires finance teams to get the lower value tasks automated as much as they can so that they can off-load these process management steps to take on added capacity for these analytic practices.
What are the world class finance teams doing to be analytic leaders in their industry? World class analytic finance teams have these repeatable practices down to great consistency and repeatability from end-to-end:
These practices are the foundational elements required for finance to be the advisor in providing guidance to the business. Excel at the practices mentioned above and you're soon positioning your analytic experts on your finance team to do the real analysis they're supposed to be doing. It's incumbent upon the CFO's finance department to provide this guidance and leadership given finance's role as the performance managers for the company. It is therefore finance's job to provide insights into past, present, and future performance but also trends, anomalies and market opportunities that become visible only after thorough analysis of the information-based business results gleaned from systems, i.e. ERP, CRM, SCM, etc. and processes, i.e. forecasting, what-if scenario analytics, etc.
This finance role is looked to not only explain past business performance and its financial effects but also advise and guide the strategy in determining where to make investments with the resources at hand. The CFO's analytics team – finance – needs to spend its time not on the everyday execution of basic, low value process steps, like compiling, validating, and reconciling data for various internal and external reporting needs but also analyzing past, present, and future to present guidance on what's happened, what's happening now, and what could happen. Only with an infrastructure in place to easily manage these basic elements of the finance team's mandate can the real value-added analytic insights come to light. Otherwise, their companies will continue to drive through its business climate with a perpetual blind spot on what's coming soon rendering them the next Tandy Computer, Silicon Graphics, or Apollo.
It's up to you finance to not let this happen.

Hiding man faces several charges
Published: Tuesday, December 24, 2013 at 3:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 24, 2013 at 3:04 p.m.
OCALA - An Ocala man who ran from police Monday because his license had been suspended was later found and arrested.
Ocala Police Department Officer Philip Hazel saw a motorcyclist drifting in and out of traffic and pulled the driver over at Southwest Third Street. While he was talking with the driver, a female passenger began to interfere. As another officer arrived, the driver ran away. Hazel gave chase, but lost the man - later identified as Darrell Summers, 31.
A man in the area told the officers he saw a man run into a wooded area. Hazel and a K-9 officer began to search the area and found Summers hiding on top of a vacant two-story home in the 500 block of Southwest Fort King Street.
Summers was arrested and charged with not having a motorcycle endorsement, driving while license is suspended or revoked and resisting without violence.
The passenger, Tasha Kingcade, 33, of Ocala, was charged with resisting arrest without violence.
Records show Summers' license was suspended in April 2008 for failure to pay a court obligation.

GM Oil Change?
I just called to see about getting my oil changed at the dealer I bought from, car has 5200mi and the dic shows 26%. They told me GM doesn't pay for the oil change unless your at 20% or less, is this what everyone else is finding from there dealer?

Re: GM Oil Change?
My first change was done at 50% to accommodate CUE update and couple other minor warranty items. I was not told or asked that it had to be at 20%. A couple hundred more miles and you should be there. I'm not concerned if it took 6000 miles to get at 20% for my driving style. I always check oil every two weeks.

Re: GM Oil Change?
I had mine done at the same time as my CUE update as well. I think I was right around the 20% mark, but they didn't mention anything since it saved them having to schedule another service visit

Interesting. I did it myself at 5000 miles. DIC said 36%. I asked the dealer about it when I had them relearn my tire pressure monitors. They said that 7000-8000 miles without an oil change was normal. Too long for me. What interested me was that he said to check the oil regularly to make sure there was "enough." Can't imagine an engine in this era (other than a rotary) would burn oil. Free oil changes is nice, but I'm not waiting 7000 miles.

I paid the dealer for the oil change at 1K miles during the CUE update.
Good use of the $50 gift card.
Re: GM Oil Change?
I typically run into a year before I get down to 20%, but I wouldn't have any qualms about running GM's Dexos 1 product down so low. GL5 oils are highly advanced these days, and the stuff GM pours into your cadillac, while not as great as an OTS synthetic, isn't the cheapest bargin conventional either.
Personally, I'll have them change the oil early, and then run on the OLM or yearly changes with an OTS synthetic.Can't imagine an engine in this era (other than a rotary) would burn oil.
I ran a 94 Dodge Ram V10 10,000 miles between changes with no trouble. I sold the truck to a customer with 224,000 miles on it. He still has it and it has 355,000 miles on it now. It's his daily driver. Same engine, transmission ( which I never changed the fluid in). No issues at all. That broke me of the 3000-5000 mile oil change mentality.
Re: GM Oil Change?
in the fine print of the Cadillac Shield (or whatever it's called that gives you the free maintenance during the b2b warranty) it says 20% as the threshold
dealers can lie to GM and do them early if they want but if they do it too much GM will catch on ... 20% or less is "by the book" when you're allowed to get your free oil change (and any other maintenance that goes along with it)
as for the OLM system it has been proven and tested again and again to be very accurate (and even has a 100% safety factor built in)
for more reading on the subject of oil, oil changes and the GM Oil Life Monitor system see this post of mine
lots of good stuff there ... some links to good oil/change discussions and the best description of the OLM and how it functions and why it's accurate
Re: GM Oil Change?
Some boxers burn oil other get blow by issues some EJ257s have no issues. Oil catch can solves problem.
I only run Motul full synthetic in all my FI engines. My subie and my ATS DO NOT burn a drop on Motul.

Re: GM Oil Change?
You guys all have your heads screwed on properly with reference to oil changes. The guys on the Corvette C6 forum are for the most part old school or just old! Many say no way will they ever go over 5,000 between oil changes. Some still go by 3,000 mile intervals. And then, most will flush out perfectly good Mobil 1 or another top of the line synthetic way before it's useful life is anywhere near over.! I say that is just a plain waste of $$ and resources. These of course are some of the same guys that treat a motor as if it is a fragile object and not a machine that can take a ton of use and beating when properly maintained using the mfg guidlines...

Trey Hillman media session: April 25
Fields to undergo surgery
Manager Trey Hillman told the media that infielder Josh Fields will undergo right labral hip surgery. He is likely out for the season at this point. The surgery will be performed by the same hip specialist that handled the surgeries for Alex Gordon and Alex Rodriguez.
Ankiel update
Rick Ankiel left last night's game with a slight pull of the right quad. Mitch Maier is in the lineup today and Ankiel is "probable" for a potential pinch hit appearance. The injury is considered day-to-day and not serious enough to send the outfielder to the D.L.
Chris Getz
Second baseman Chris Getz is doing well and will start a rehab assignment on Monday in Omaha. The plan is for Getz to play three to four games with the O-Royals before returning to the Major League squad. He is eligible to return from the D.L. on Friday.
Soria availability
Joakim Soria pitched a season high 2.0 innings last night. His availability for Sunday's game depends on the situation.
Josh Rupe
Josh Rupe worked out of a bases-loaded situation last night, then worked another scoreless frame. Hillman is pleased with Rupe's progress and his aggressiveness on the mound.

Intermittent showers sweep down from the blue-slate sky as the mail boat churns across the Chesapeake Bay. There is nothing around us, except for the occasional buoy bobbing defiantly in the white-tipped chop. The insistent growl of the motor makes conversation with the other two passengers nearly impossible, so I stare out the rain-splattered window into the foggy oblivion.
Our destination is Smith Island, a small chain of marshy, low-slung isles with three small communities spread across them. There's Ewell, the largest town and de facto capital; Rhode's Point, oftentimes referred to as Rogue's Point by islanders; and Tylerton, which is alternately known as Drum Point. The only inhabited offshore islands in Maryland, they are home to a small community of watermen and their families.
After settling in Jamestown, Virginia, Captain John Smith charted the Chesapeake Bay in the early 17th century; during those explorations, he dubbed a string of bay islands the Russell Isles. Later that century, Jamestown's own Henry Smith was granted 1,000 acres of this land, and the area's islands became known as Smith Island. Largely composed of salt marshes, it was used for generations as a place for livestock grazing; since the late 17th century, the locals have made a living by fishing for blue crabs in the summer months and oystering during the winter. But as strict fishing regulations, intended to bolster crab populations, continue to limit how many can be caught, and as cheaper Asian alternatives flood the shellfish market, locals are watching their longtime livelihood slip away.
The shift has led to a steep population decline as young islanders and families unable to support themselves have moved over to the mainland. According to the 2010 census, only 276 people now call the islands their home, down from a historic high of approximately 900 people a century ago. It is an aging population: More than 60 percent of islanders are over 50, while fewer than 10 percent have reached their 18th birthday.
The population isn't the only thing breaking down: The islands themselves are slowly slipping below the water as erosion devours a shoreline that never rises higher than four feet. According to the US Army Corps of Engineers, Smith Island has lost more than 3,300 acres of wetlands in the past 150 years. Though the agency is currently engaged in several projects that aim to protect and restore the remaining land, it may not be enough to save this fragile ecosystem.
"With the continuing rise of sea level, erosion is a fact of life on Smith Island," says Jeff Halka, director of the Maryland Geological Survey. "If you look at the history of the bay, there have been any number of islands—Holland Island, James Island, Poplar Island—that were inhabited with substantial communities, and now they're gone or virtually gone." It seems Smith Island's demise isn't so much a question of if, but when.
About halfway through the 45-minute trip by boat, Smith Island rises out of the mist like a submerged lost world breaking to the surface. At first all that can be seen are the tops of the trees waving in the wind, but soon the church steeple comes into view, followed by the modest one- and two-story homes that line the waterfront. Pulling up to the dock in Ewell, I am immediately swarmed by a black cloud of mosquitoes, gnats, and greenheads. "Lots of moisture and no wind," captain Otis Ray Taylor explains as I swat at the dive-bombers and frantically root around for my bottle of Off.
As soon as my skin is glistening with bug repellent and granted a reprieve from the bloodthirsty insects, I can appreciate these new surroundings. Birdsong brightens up the murky May day, providing a cheery soundtrack to the scene. The road to the town extends in front of me, while the shoreline next to me boasts several whitewashed rectangular shanties where watermen work.
That's where I find Mark Kitching, a lifelong crabber with soft eyes and roughened hands who has been working on the water for well over a quarter century. He is dividing his catch into two main categories: soft crabs that are ready to eat, and "reelers," which are about to shed their shells and become soft crabs. The former are neatly packed into waxed cardboard boxes to be sent over to the mainland, where they can fetch $25 to $30 a dozen. The latter are put into aerated tanks and monitored until the metamorphosis makes them market-ready.
Kitching's speech shows off the local drawl, which some linguists have dubbed Elizabethan, but which comes across more like a slightly twangy Southern accent. "This is probably the end," he tells me when I ask him where he sees the local crabbing industry going in the next decade. "There's nobody coming up after me."
Not far away, Janet Evans teaches first through seventh grades at the on-island school, which now has only eight students enrolled. Despite the declining ranks, Evans's warm classroom is crammed full of art projects in progress, a colorful jumble of toys, and pictures of all the American presidents. An alphabetical list of her students runs down the door of a cabinet. When I ask Evans if she thinks any of them will end up living on the island, she doesn't say anything, just shakes her head while pursing her lips.
She doesn't stay quiet for long. Soon she's talking about the precipitous decline of Smith Island. "It used to be that when the guys graduated—if they went to high school at all—they got their boat and went to work," she explains. "They married their sweetheart, settled down, and started a family. Now very few people want their children to stay here. When you keep pushing that, you can't expect the population to stay the same." Taking a deep breath, she finishes. "I hate to say it, but there's really no hope. I always thought that eventually, down the line, [the island's people] would see a situation like this; I just never expected it in my lifetime.
Janet Tyler, the manager of the Smith Island Cultural Center and a 13th-generation islander, echoes that sentiment. "We're in crisis mode with losing our people," she says, her eyes glistening with emotion. "Because there's no younger ones having families to generate people from. It's getting scary here." All around Tyler are reminders of the island's vibrant past. Hanging from the ceiling are pieces of traditional fishing equipment—a crab pot, an oyster dredge, a sculling oar—while an original crabbing skiff built in 1919 sits at the center of the small museum. And there is a corner devoted to Smith Island's culinary traditions, which show no sign of dying out.

Associated Press Release
MACON, Ga. (AP) -- A Macon museum named for Harriet Tubman is honoring the heroine of the Underground Railroad on the 100th anniversary of her death.
The Telegraph of Macon reports the Tubman African American Museum will pay tribute to Tubman's legacy on Sunday with special tours, a reception and a re-enactment.
An escaped slave herself, Tubman is credited with helping at least 300 slaves escape to the North using the network of safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
Patricia Driskell-Stephens, guest services coordinator for the Tubman African American Museum, says Tubman's life is celebrated on the March 10 anniversary of her death because her birthdate is unknown, as was common for slaves. She says Tubman's last words when she died in 1913 were: "I go to prepare a place for you."

Hey all! I am a writer and digital artist! I have been working on everything from film projects to table top gaming systems for most of my life. I came across Cartographers Guild, while doing a quick Google search to see different ways people have presented towns, cities, and the such on their fantasy maps.
I have two major personal projects I am working on currently. The first is a film project set in a post apocalyptic world, and I am sure I will share more on that as time goes on. The next is really sort of two mini-projects. Towards the end of college I began to write a science fiction novel, containing a known universe style concept. In that Science Fiction world, exists the planet that I run my homebrew Pathfinder (Dungeons and Dragons) game on.
It was work on this homebrew map that brought me to the Guild! I look forward to showing some of my work, getting feedback, and learning how to push my existing skills even further!

In response to Fields4's comment:
1 championship, 1 NBA Finals, 1 Conference finals with Rondo.
Yip! vs 7 wins 4 over teams in the lottery. No doubt we are playing well, but that is because were deep at guard, Doc changed the offense and our guys have a lot of pride. Not because we are a better team without Rondo.
I think everyone here realizes that Rondo is not the problem but they are just too excited because the Celtics are playing really well right now.
But wait, you forgot to mention that the reason we weren't excited before was because the team was under .500 and on a 6-game losing streak. Then, RONDO went down and ONLY THEN did we do a 180-degree turn and are 7-0 since. Tell me, why do you think that is? MAGIC? And no, I don't mean Magic Johnson! Our team has benefitted from RONDO's absence...Period.
And before that 6 game losing steak we were on a 6 game winning streak. Which could just mean the team is streaky. Think. that is is the danger of a small smaple size.
plus you are forgetting last year they were under 500 at the all star break and went on a terror the second half the season. THINK.

Substitute 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces, for the shrimp.
Prepare using whole wheat rotini pasta.
Enjoy this quick and easy low-calorie, low-fat dinner any night of the week. As a bonus, not only are the carrots an excellent source of vitamin A but the peppers are also a good source of vitamin C.

I made this on Monday for dinner and this was fast, delicious & very easy to make. I did use already cooked shrimp and steamed the sugar peas before adding to everything else. My husband & daughter loved it; even my daughter's boyfriend liked it. I just finished off the rest of it for lunch on Wednesday and my daughter took some for lunch at school also. This will be a keeper and will be made at the very least twice a month. I did use powdered garlic as I was out of garlic but it was great anyway. This will be a recipe that I will give to my daughter when she moves out on her own. I will also give it to my son who lives in Florida as they have 5 children and it looks like it will be easy to double for a larger family.
Love this recipe. I used some frozen cooked shrimp that I thawed and throwed in at the end. I also used a bag of frozen sugar snap peas (the kind to be steam cooked in the bag) and just cooked them in the microwave about half the time suggested and threw them in at the end also. I did not add the lemon peel, but thought this delicious without it.

The investigations today were well worth watching.
McCain, Rohrbacher, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, and Jeff Duncan were offensive, petty and uninformed.
They bahaved like the shameful dirt diggers they are.
Not only did their bahavior suggest they had no real interest in learning what changes we should make in order to keep our foreign assets and Ambassadors safer, or learning what went wrong and why, but their offensive behavior, references to proven RW media lies and sheer gossip which has already been exposed as ridiculous, only highlighted their own ugly intentions ignorance.
Some of their absurdities already exposed for being laughable, and untrue, came straight from Hannity, who said for example, that we had real time video of the Benghazi attack, a totally proven lie.
Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, nailed it! Her composure, full command of the broad policies and details of our current circumstances around the world, including addressing thoroughly our coming threats resulting from the Arab Spring, and the many countries struggling to create for themselves safety, human rights and success in building democratic principles in their countries, and being successful in fighting off terrorist infiltration, was extensive, and extremely informative.
It became very obvious when the questioner wasn't really interested in any of that, only in trying to cling to their original dirt slinging, pre-election witch hunt, accusing a cover-up which never happened in the first place.
Secretary Clinton's broad understanding of foreign affairs, current curcumstances around the world, specific threats and risks, along with her overall brilliance, and willingness to openly discuss and address every question, with great patience, obvious high intentions, and spontaneity, served as a stunning contrast to the petty, rude and juvenile Republican partisan ugliness and ignorance, some of their questions actually laughable!
It is all available on C-Span, and well worth watching. The overall poor behavior of the Republicans, certainly explains why she has a 67% to 80% approval rating, and the Tea Party, only 9%, cockroaches and dental root canals, being more popular than the Republican Party at this time. I expect these numbers will continue to worsen for the Republicans, and expand for Secretary Clinton.
After the airing of the investigative events, even Republicans were calling into C-Span, saying they were embarrassed and disgusted with the behavior of Rand Paul, and John McCain, in particular, Paul actually showed great disrespect, stating that if he was president he would relieve her of her duties, LMAO, like he could ever be elected president, in the first place, and McCain, basically calling her a liar! Both of them behaved disgracefully, and the others I mentioned, were also truly repulsive.
None of their nastiness moved her off her brilliant responses, and only once, when it was entirely appropriate, did she ever become animated, or show any irritability with the extremely poor, rude and inappropriate behavior.
All in all, Hilary was by far the winner. If she decides to run for president, She will blow any competitor away!
The few Republicans who actually were there to learn, and had an honest interest in learning what changes should be made in order to provide better protection for our brave and valuable Americans in foreign service, further served to highlight annd contrast the poor behavior of offensive dirt diggers, their genuine interest naturally presented in a manner which was mostly polite.
I highly recommend watching both presentations, one in the Senate, and the other before a Congressional committee.
Hillary testified most of the day, and she was truly impressive and amazing!

CF baseball topples Daytona State
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — The College of Central Florida baseball team put it all together and secured its second straight win in Mid-Florida Conference play, as it defeated Daytona State 7-1 on Friday afternoon.
Ryan Smith went 5-for-5 with a double and two RBI, while Joe Marotta (6-3) struck out six in eight innings of work for CF (24-18, 6-8), winners of three of its last four games.
David Lugo went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI for the Patriots, who host Daytona State on Saturday afternoon at 1.

We now have a far better source, with named sources, saying close to the same thing.
Reuters quotes McConnell's spokesman by name, oneThis, however, makes explicit what the WH was pushing for-- the energy tax subsidies. At that late, it was deemed impossible to try to take the package passed by the Senate committee on a large bipartisan majority vote apart on the merits.Quote:
Don Stewart, [who] said the White House insisted that it would a "deal breaker" if the entire package of tax credits was not in the bill. Stewart also said the White House initially wanted to make all of the tax breaks permanent, rather than extend them only through the end of this year.
"The White House ... can't deny that the only reason the (business tax breaks were) included in the final agreement is because the president insisted" they be in there, Stewart said.
So, it's not true that the WH insisted on the NASCAR breaks, or the bankster breaks, but they came along for the ride on the backs of the renewable energy tax credits.Quote:
White House spokesman Jay Carney on Monday said that Obama supported the overall package of tax breaks for businesses. He emphasized that the president favored the wind energy credit and tax benefits for research and development to encourage "job-creating research investments."
Carney also said that many of the tax breaks in the fiscal cliff bill had bipartisan support.
"It would strain the credulity of everyone in this room to suggest that Republicans did not support or want tax credits for business," Carney said during his daily briefing to reporters.
Some Democratic strategists said that given the rush to get a fiscal cliff bill through Congress before U.S. financial markets opened for the new year last Wednesday, it likely seemed unrealistic to pick apart the package of tax credits - known as "extenders" - that had passed the Senate Finance Committee on a bipartisan, 19-5 vote.
So the package - with its $222 million credit for the rum industry, a $78 million write-off for the owners of NASCAR auto racing tracks and tax credits for the film industry that could total $248 million, among other things - survived intact, like a holiday bonus to Washington's lobbyists.

(The Rams Tailgate Show) -- The Rams didn't have very long to savor their 19-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, which was just the franchise's second home division win since the start of the 2007 season.
No sooner had the final seconds ticked off that coach Jeff Fisher was already preparing his team for Thursday night's game against division rival Arizona.
Asked how this week of preparation will be different, Fisher said, "It's Wednesday right now. How's that? It's Wednesday, so the players know that. So, we've got to rest up and get the plan together. The coaches have been working over the weekend and we're going back to the office this afternoon."
In the rhythm of a game week, Monday would be Thursday and Tuesday like a Friday as players try to recover from a physical 60 minutes while also practicing for a game in which the Rams will try to be over .500 for the first time since the seventh game of the 2006 season.
The Cardinals will arrive as one of the league's three unbeaten times following their come-from-behind overtime win over Miami. Said running back Steven Jackson, "Arizona, right now, they're red hot. They're definitely making noise in the NFL and for us to get a second win in the division, it would be huge for us. But we have to continue to establish what we are doing and that's making home-field advantage tough."
The Rams will be trying to beat Arizona at home for the first time since the 2004 season. The win over Seattle was just the second in the last 15 games between the two teams.
Quarterback Sam Bradford said for him the game is unchartered territory.
"I've never played on a Thursday before in this league," Bradford said. "I know it's going to be a challenge for us to get prepared. Obviously, we've only got three days to get ready for a game. Coach Fisher said really we won tonight, but it's really like a Wednesday, so we've got to get our minds ready for Arizona now."
As for the 24-hour rule that coaches invoke to get a win or loss out of their minds, Bradford said, "Yeah this one was like the 20-minute rule. So I think I've enjoyed it enough now that once I go home it's on to Arizona."

On the home page of my public website, I want to include both a News Web Part and a gadget. Site contributors will be able to update the site by adding items to the News list.
How can I do that? What I've found so far is on the one hand page templates that accept gadgets but not Web Parts, and on the other hand Web Part pages that accept Web Parts but not gadgets.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Christophe,
I understand that you prefer to include a News Web Part and a gadget on the home page of your public website.
To insert a gadget in a public-facing webpage, follow these steps:
1. Log on yourdomain-web.sharepoint.com/.../settings.aspx with your username and password.
2. On the top-navigation bar in the SharePoint site, click Website.
3. In the website, click Web Pages on the Quick Launch. And then click your homepage on the right panel.
4. Click the Pages tab on the ribbon.
6. In the webpage, click to locate the cursor where you want to insert the gadget.
7. Click the Insert tab and then, in the Gadgets group, click the gadget that you want to add. If you do not see the gadget that you want, click More Gadgets.
8. Depending on the gadget that you selected, a dialog box might appear where you can enter additional information.
To insert Web Parts, you may open your public site with SharePoint Designer. When prompting to open with safe mode or advanced mode, please choose advanced mode. Then you may click Insert to choose Web Parts to edit on your home page. The coding may appeared on the panel.
How are thing going? Is the problem resolved?
Best Regards,
Monica Tong
Hi Monica,
Thanks for your reply.
I am working with Default.aspx, the default home page of the public Website.
I have no problem with the steps 1 to 8 you describe, and can include widgets from the browser UI. But then when I open Default.aspx in SharePoint Designer (advanced mode), I get error messages: "Error rendering control" and "Error creating control". Web Part pages don't have this issue and open normally in SharePoint Designer.
I too am experiencing a similar issue without getting a good response so I've decided to jump on your thread and share what I've been shared in hopes of putting it all together to come up with the correct answer. I've pretty much got the same response that you have and I've added links to the other posts below.
I found the following forum post Permissions bug-public sub site and it looks to be explaining a similar issue. The interesting thing is that Patrick Hess
suggests that the poster create a new service request using the following link: *edit* Removed the link to create service requests, this should be posted by Microsoft Moderators only. This may be a worth while exercise for each of us as well. It will demonstrate the popularity of this common concern.
Link to MSDN forum post.
Link to Office365 post.
Hey there,
Monica hit the proverbial nail on the head!
With regard to the user of SharePoint Designer, I'd recommend this:
www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx - Office 365 Development Guide
Eric, I am not sure what you're talking about.
I asked a specific question, and Monica's reply didn't answer it.
As far as I know, the Office 365 Development Guide doesn't provide an answer either. If you think otherwise, you're welcome to point me to the section that could help.
Following my post, I was contacted by the Microsoft support. They spent some time on the issue, and their conclusion is that it cannot be done out of the box. So basically the usual SharePoint content management features are not available on the default home page of the public website (plan E3).
What you can still do is create a Web Part page that will display SP list/library content, and make it your home page.
You can also use AJAX techniques to pull the content from a SP list and display it on the default home page. It's just out of reach for the average user, and not a good approach if you are concerned with SEO.
Microsoft's move to add the gadgets is a nice touch, too bad this cannot be combined with the traditional benefits of SharePoint.
Microsoft's move to add the gadgets is a nice touch, too bad this
cannot be combined with the traditional benefits of SharePoint.
That's EXACTLY what they did provide in OLSB. The ability to "create" in Sharepoint on the back end and simple gadgets to deploy applications on the public web site-a form designer module and a list publisher module. Sophisticated enough to do some quite cool things, yet easy enough for anyone to use with no need for coding or Sharepoint knowledge.
If nothing else this was a great way to make SP accessible and more widely embraced by the average person. I would have thought that was a major goal of 365.
You can enable full publishing on public site as Martin Hatch shows here:
Although, there is some abiguity around whether this is supported.
After having done so, you are free from the less than stellar master page and editor limitations of OOB public sites yet you can still use some gadgets like he does here:
Still not the ideal of true sharepoint plus easy gadgets that all users will find friendly. Shame.
Still having this issue. Anyone heard of a resolve?

Stryker Phd winning the 2014 Mt. Rainier Handicap at Emerald Downs.
$200,000 LONGACRES MILE DRAWS 26 NOMINATIONS;79th RENEWAL SET FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 2014
AUBURN, Wash.

Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - Kasey Carrier rushed for 161 yards and a pair
of touchdowns as the New Mexico Lobos held on for a 35-23 win against the
Hawaii Warriors in a Mountain West Conference clash at Aloha Stadium.
Cole Gautsche also had an 100-yard game rushing finishing with 104 yards and a
touchdown for New Mexico (4-3, 1-1 MWC). B.R. Holbrook completed 7-of-12 pass
attempts for 109 yards. The Lobos have now won back-to-back games for the
first time since 2008.
Sean Schroeder completed 20-of-42 pass attempts for 272 yards and a touchdown
for Hawaii (1-5, 0-3). Will Gregory rushed for 99 yards and Scott Harding had
a team-high 80 yards receiving and a touchdown. The Warriors have lost four
straight and have still yet to beat a team at the FBS level this season.
Carrier scored on a 23-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter to
give New Mexico a 7-0 lead.
That lead grew to 14-0 when Saqwan Edwards ran into the end zone from six
yards out later in the first quarter.
The Lobos lead continued to grow as Carrier scored again, this time from a
yard out. The touchdown run capped off a 14-play, 66-yard drive that took 7:21
off the clock.
Hawaii got on the board midway through the second quarter with a 51-yard
touchdown pass from Schroeder to Scott Harding.
The Warriors pulled even closer with a 49-yard field goal from Tyler Hadden
just before the end of the first half.
Cole Gautsche scored on a 76-yard rushing touchdown to push New Mexico's lead
to 28-10 late in the third quarter.
Greg Rivara returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to keep
Hawaii within striking distance.
Hawaii would pull even closer with a one-yard touchdown run from John Lister
midway through the fourth quarter.
New Mexico then rattled off an 11-play, 75-yard drive that took six
minutes off the clock, capped by a five-yard rushing touchdown by B.R.
New Mexico rushed for 332 yards as a team compared to 119 by Hawaii. The
Warriors converted only 1-of-4 red zone trips into a score.

I would like to test a zimbra server using the same domain as my current production email system and maybe eventually migrate all my users to it over time. I have an "Idea" but I don't know for sure if it will work or if there is a better way.
The mx for my domain(We will call it example.domain.com) points to the host of our anti-spam/virus gateway appliance. It sends mail to our actual internal SMTP/IMAP/POP production server.
I will setup the zimbra server to have the same example.domain.com and second domain example2.domain.com for the old system to forward too. I would setup an mx record to point example2.domain.com to the new zimbra server. Accounts on the zimbra server will be setup under example.domain.com with an alias to example2.domain.com. When I want email from email@example.com to be delivered to the new zimbra server I would put a forward on the old email system for email@example.com to point to email@example.com. Assuming this will work am I correct that the to field will retain the firstname.lastname@example.com address? Another What about email sent from the zimbra server to users that have not been migrated yet. Will the Zimbra server look up the mx and send an email destined for email@example.com to the gateway device or will it reject the mail because it doesn't have a email@example.com on the system? Is there a much better way to do all this?

…Because there was less of it!
Kanye West–who we had a field day mocking last season–showed his second womenswear collection in Paris Tuesday and it would appear that he took some of that widespread criticism to heart: West showed only 20 looks and drew a few favorable comparisons to Givenchy and Costume Nationale (HAH!), thanks to his rumored army of high-profile consultants. We think the collection was still facile and incoherent, but you can decide for yourself.
We gotta hand it to his casting director, though, as we're always psyched to see the likes of Milagros Schmoll and our favorite model ever, Carmen Kass.
And, when you have a moment, please note West's awkward run-in with Eric Wilson of the Times, in which he comes off like a giant sniveling baby.

Mavic Syncro Helmet $0.00
Ideal for anyone who wants a high-quality helmet that doesn't break the bank, the Syncro shares technology with Mavic's Plasma and Plasma SLR. That means it received the same cranial mapping tests that ensure the helmet closely matches typical head shapes.
The interior shape of the helmet consequently flows along the curves of the skull. But, heads are still all fundamentally unique. So Mavic added the Ergo Hold System, which allows for as much as 6 centimeters of one-handed, on-the-fly size adjustment. For the final touches on fit perfection, as well as excellent moisture management, Mavic has included their Ergo Fit Pro Pad.
It might not seem like much when you look at it, but the Ergo Fit Pro Pad is a low-density open cell foam that wicks water from the skin and transports it to where it can evaporate quickly. The shell has a low-volume construction to reduce weight and includes a removable, lightweight visor and plugs.
The Mavic Syncro Helmet has reflective highlights for extra protection after dark. It is available in Small, Medium or Large and the colors Black/Red and White/Black.
- Polystyrene foam
- Ergo Hold fit adjustment system
- Moisture-wicking Syncro Fit Pad
- Adjustable and removable visor with plugs

Reviews & Community
Very good overall!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I like this helmet quite a bit. Over the years I have had a preference for Bell helmets (since 1989!) and have most recently owned a Limar 777.
This lid is a bit heavier than the Limar but on par with most of the mid range Bell's. The padding is fine, good ventilation and I do like the quick adjuster. Construction quality seems fine.
My only quibble is that the threads on the back of the Mavic tags on the side straps can be scratchy on the skin. This may not bother other people and I would recommend this lid at the price I got it.
Happy wit it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Solid helmet, lightweight, vents well, all I could ask for from a helmet.
The detachable visor is nice to have. The sizing does run a little small I would say. The adjustability is easy to adjust on the fly and is comfy. Definitely recommend if you can get it at a good price.
Can you confirm, is this the Mavic Synchro helmet version with Ergo hold retention (per your website) or Ergo Hold SL retention as per Mavic website? (interested in blue one) Note: pic of Ergo Hold SL from Mavic web.
Very nice helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I find it a bit uncomfortable compared to the Giro's I've owned. It seems to run small. This could just be me. I am always in between sizes.
This helmet literally saved my life
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm picky about helmets and like most go towards what looks good. I also bought this because it came in white and I ride at night. It ended up being perfect both in the hot Oklahoma summers and below freezing winter days. I often would even forget I was wearing it which shows how comfortable and light it felt. On Jan 20th 2015 it met its end when I was hit by and rolled over TWO cars. All I ended up with was a gash between where the helmet ends in the back and the adjuster piece is. To add to its awesomness it is in one piece and only has a couple scrapes. I will probably buy a cheap one from the LBS until I can save up the pennies for a new one. I highly recommend this helmet.
Check with Mavic, they might have a crash replacement policy. Worst thing that can happen...maybe they'll replace it at reduced or no cost.
Great Helmet, Great Price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I don't have the ability to shell out insane amounts of money for my cycling gear, so when I need to make a new purchase it's important that it has great functionality, solid price point, and some style. This helmet met all my needs. Very comfortable helmet, easy to use click tightening system and the straps hold in place very well. I ride in hot sunny So Cal and always felt properly ventilated up there. Also went for this because the trusted brand of Mavic and it is a great looking helmet as well. Looks better than a lot of the more high end ones out there. Very happy with it.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was looking for a black helmet to match my bike so that was my main criteria since i really consider all helmets to be alike. I was delightfully surprised that I no longer feel that way about helmets. The fit of this helmet was noticeable better than the specialized one I used before. When you put it on it stays right there. Further the helmet is so light that you forget you have it on. The straps are positioned so perfectly that there is movement on my face. It was bought for one reason and now it has set the bar for how I will judge helmets going forward.
Great Helmet-Size up 1 full S-M-L to fit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was attracted to this helmet because of 2 factors: Ventilation and Styling!
1. The vents are large and numerous to provide a lot of air flow when riding.
2. The helmet looks great on the head and is form fitting with a single adjustment.
After reading other reviews, I went ahead and ordered the next size up because the helmets run smaller than listed. That was the right decision ... just subtract 3 cm from the chart to find your Correct size.

Housing & Dining
Why live on campus? You'll meet new people, discover new ideas and ways of thinking, and expand your horizons. You'll join a community of students who enjoy living near the academic, social, athletic and cultural events that take place on campus every day.
All Towson students — residents and commuters alike — can choose from 17 dining locations on campus, including full-service all-you-care-to-eat facilities, grab-and-go options and convenience stores. No matter what time of day or night, you can find something good to eat.
Residence Halls
Towson offers 15 residence halls on campus that represent an eclectic mix of old and new architecture. 3 of these buildings, Paca/Tubman Houses and Millennium Hall, are managed in collaboration with Capstone On Campus Management. The buildings range from cozy two- and three-story halls to high-rise towers. If you are a new freshman, we guarantee on-campus housing for your first two years at Towson.
Modern amenities make your new home a great place to live and learn. Rooms are equipped with cable TV, high-speed Internet service, and a microwave-refrigerator unit. All rooms are furnished with beds, desks, chairs, closets or wardrobes, dressers, wall-to-wall carpeting, and blinds. In-house laundry facilities, lounges, study rooms and vending areas are located in each hall. Pool tables, TV rooms, and even pianos are available in many halls.
Our residence halls are staffed by Resident Assistants (RAs) -- specially trained students who work to build a floor-wide community with planned activities and outings. They also offer insider knowledge on how to make your Towson experience more successful. So whether you need help with a problem or just want to hang out, their doors are always open.
On-campus Apartments
Towson Run, Carroll and Marshall Halls are for upper-class students (including transfer students) who are eligible to live on campus. These apartment communities provide a great way to stay connected with the campus and enjoy the benefits and independence of apartment living.
Towson Run offers many of the same amenities as our residence halls, but with a few extras. The complex offers nine-month housing and consists of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments equipped with full kitchens and common living rooms. Each bedroom houses two students.
Carroll and Marshall Halls offer the same amenities as Towson Run but consists of
two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments, where each student will have their own private
bedroom and a full mattress.
First-time freshmen are not eligible to live in Towson Run, Carroll and Marshall Halls.
For Transfer Students
On-campus housing isn't guaranteed for transfer students and is granted on a space-available basis. Many transfer students instead live in off-campus housing, which includes many apartments and rental homes within a short walk of the university and throughout Towson.
Off-campus housing is not affiliated with the university, but TU' maintains resources for finding off-campus housing.
For International Students
International students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to live on campus. It's a great way to make friends and feel connected to our vibrant campus culture.
Off-Campus Housing
In addition to the thousands of students who live on campus, many thousands more — especially juniors and seniors — choose to live just beyond Towson University's borders at one of the many nearby off-campus housing properties. These housing options, which include apartments and townhomes, are not affiliated with Towson University but still offer a great option for students who wish to live near the excitement and resources of our campus community.
The Department of Off Campus Student Services maintains off-campus housing listings for students seeking a place to live.
What's on the menu tonight? Sushi? Pizza? Fajitas? Try all of the above. With 17 dining options on campus, you'll never have trouble finding something that suits your taste. In fact, you might have trouble finding something that doesn't.
Towson offers three all-you-care-to-eat facilities at The Glen, Newell Dining Hall and West Village Commons. Our diverse menus offer traditional choices, ethnic and international cuisine, and a wealth of vegetarian and low-fat options, too. We also offer kosher and halal menus.
When you just need a quick break, consider a coffee at our on-campus Starbucks, where the conversation flows as freely as the caffeine. Want to grab a bite before that mid-term or after a trip to the gym? Stop by Chick-fil-A or Jamba Juice — both located right on campus. Or stock up on a few snacks at one of our convenience stores. Go ahead and eat up — it's all included in the Towson meal plan.
Want even more options? You'll find Thai, Japanese, Italian, American and many more types of cuisine right in the town of Towson, just a short walk from campus. And for those late-night cravings, many restaurants deliver right to your residence hall or apartment.
