I have an OCR for a F500 corp fin rotational program next week and while preparing I have wondered what the best way to answer "tell me what you know about the company" when it is inevitably asked.
In IBD I know most suggest to talk about recent deals and I was just curious if there is anything specific that a recruiter for corp finance would be looking to hear.
Thanks in advance

Absolutely. If you go into an interview with GE for example and respond "you um...make dishwashers I think" then it'll be a major negative. Talk about their major sectors - medical devices, power generation, ge capital, etc. It is absolutely expected that you know the very basics about the company you are interviewing with, and can definately be brownie points if you can talk more intelligently about the company/business than the next candidate.

Solid, well constructed book!,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Way Forward: Solutions to England's Football Failings (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading The Way Forward, the author presented a good base round knowledge of the subject matter and provided a good look into the history of the problems that face the game in our country. I enjoyed several of the solutions and agree in parts with some of the solutions presented.
I've read a lot of material that runs in a similar vein as this dating back to 2009 and sometimes far earlier, material that also looked into the problems that face the game and presented solutions also. This material was taken onto consider by many local County FA's but little change came from it, my hopes are that having this book in the open public forum will help fans of the game and the coaches understand and look into further aspects that can develop not only the game but the players involved in the game, especially for those at Grass roots level. I hope more dividends will get paid to possible education of the coaches in the future and that the profession begins to be seen as that and not just the hobby that many see it as at present. There are a lot of cultural changes that need to happen before a true Way Forward can be achieved, I hope the book gets the true thought that it will challenge many of it's readers to!

GM Trademarks the "Stingray" Name
Earlier this year in May, GM filed a trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Stingray" for use on "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles". This is leading to speculation that GM may be registering the name in advanced of launching the C7 Corvette which is expected sometime between 2012-2014.
August 2010 Corvette Sales
Corvette sales are holding steady according to the latest sales report from General Motors. Deliveries of Corvettes in August hit 1,135 units which was 64 cars less than July 2010's 1,199 sales. Year to date, sales are up 52.1% over August 2009's dismal 746 Corvettes sold. In fact, August 2010 marks the third straight month of increases over 2009's deliveries. However, last year at this time, the cash for clunkers program was in full swing which heavily impacted the sales of Corvettes and other cars not covered by the program. For the calendar year, 8,689 Corvettes have been sold which is a decline of 5.7% from 2009's 9,210 Corvettes sold.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an assembly that limits compressive forces when fastening one workpiece to another. More specifically, the invention relates to a compression limiting assembly capable of retaining a fastener therein before securing one workpiece to another.
2. Description of the Related Art
Pieces of manufacture, commonly referred to as "workpieces," are often secured together in a manner where two workpieces are forced to abut each other. In the environment of the motor vehicle, these workpieces have to be secured together with sufficient force to prevent the fasteners from loosening due to the vibrations, temperature and driving surface conditions.
The technologies used to fabricate materials used in such environments are sophisticated. The materials are designed to provide the greatest amount of strength and add the least amount of weight. Sacrificed in this methodology is the ability to absorb stress forces. More specifically, a material that is designed to be the light weight and strong may sacrifice strength in terms of stress.
Stress is incurred in a workpiece when it is fastened to another workpiece. The stress on a workpiece in the area immediately adjacent the fastener may exceed the capabilities thereof resulting in a cracked workpiece. An example of two workpieces that are fabricated from sophisticated materials and are secured together in a volatile environment is the combination of the the upper and lower manifolds of an internal combustion engine. The upper and lower manifolds are secured together in a manner that perfect a seal therebetween. Therefore, enough compression must be made between the two workpieces to perfect the seal without providing too much compression such that the upper and lower manifolds crack under the stress.
One attempt to solve the problem is disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,030,161, issued to Udell et al. and Feb. 29, 2000. This patent discloses a captive bolt assembly. The captive bolt assembly includes a sleeve having a flange at its distal end thereof. A bolt, the fastener, includes a head portion and a threaded portion. A collar is secured to the bolt adjacent the head portion. The collar includes a retaining portion. The retaining portion engages the inner surface of the sleeve preventing the bolt from being removed from the sleeve. The flange at the end of the sleeve acts as a compression limiter preventing the bolt from being forced into a workpiece after the flange about the surface thereof. This reference discloses that compression limiter with a retention system for the bolt. This reference does not disclose, however, an assembly providing for a bolt retainer that allows the bolt to move axially with respect to the compression limiter.
Another reference disclosing a fastener for a manifold for an internal combustion engine is U.S. Pat. No. 5,275,135, issued to Clemens et al. on Jan. 4, 1994. This reference discloses a fastener for a molded workpiece, namely an intake manifold, to another portion of the intake manifold. The fastener includes a first threaded section and a second section extending beyond the first threaded section. The second section has a diameter greater than the second threaded section. The second section defines an annular shoulder surrounding the first threaded section. While the fastener has an annular shoulder that may act as a compression limiter, nowhere in this reference is there a disclosure of a means for securing the fastener to one of the two manifolds to create a retention of the fastener during the assembly thereof.
A compression limiting assembly minimizes the compressive forces of a bolt on a first workpiece being fastened to a second workpiece. The compression limiting assembly includes a longitudinal sleeve defining a longitudinal axis extending between a first piece engaging end and a bore insertion end. The first piece engaging end includes a flange that prevents a longitudinal sleeve from fully extending into the first workpiece. A bolt retainer is housed within the longitudinal sleeve. The bolt retainer is adapted to receive the bolt therethrough to prevent the bolt from falling out of the longitudinal sleeve as the compression limiting assembly is being inserted into the first and second workpieces.
Other advantages of the invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a bolt retainer incorporated into the invention;
FIG. 2 is a side view, partially cut away, of one embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a side view, partially cut away, of one embodiment of the invention with a bolt secured within the workpieces.
Referring to the Figures, the invention, a compression limiting assembly, is generally indicated at 10. The compression limiting assembly 10 receives a bolt, generally shown at 12, therein. The bolt 12 includes a tool receiving head 14 having a workpiece abutment surface 16. The bolt 12 also includes a shaft 18 wherein at least a portion 20 of which is threaded. The shaft 18 extends from the workpiece abutment surface 16 to a shaft distal end 22.
The bolt 12 extends through a first bore 24 in a first workpiece 26 and a second bore 28 in a second workpiece 30. The second bore 28 includes a threaded portion that threadingly engages the bolt 12. In one embodiment, the first 26 and second 30 workpieces are upper and lower manifolds of an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle (neither shown), respectively. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the workpieces may be any two pieces that need to be secured to each other with a limitation on the compressive forces being applied by the bolt 12. The upper and lower manifolds have been set forth merely as examples and should not be construed as limiting.
Returning attention to the invention, the compression limiting assembly 10 includes a longitudinal sleeve 32. The longitudinal sleeve 32 defines a longitudinal axis 34. The longitudinal sleeve 32 has two portions, the retainer portion 36 and the second piece portion 38. The retainer 36 and second piece 38 portions are coaxial and extend along the longitudinal axis 34. The retainer portion 36 defines a retainer portion inner diameter, represented in the Figures by the retainer portion inner surface 40. The retainer portion 36 receives a bolt retainer 42 therein. The bolt retainer 42 will be discussed in greater detail subsequently. A flange 44 extends radially outwardly from a first piece engaging end 46 of the longitudinal sleeve 32. The flange 44 includes a positioning surface 48 that abuts against the first workpiece 26 and a fastener stop surface 50 that stops the workpiece abutment surface 16 of the tool receiving head 14 from moving therepast. The flange 44 also prevents the longitudinal sleeve from fully extending into the first workpiece 32.
The second piece portion 38 extends out from the retainer portion 36. The second piece portion 38 extends axially out to a bore insertion end 52 of the longitudinal sleeve 32 and defines a second piece inner diameter, represented in the Figures by a second piece inner surface 54. The second piece inner diameter is slightly greater than the outer diameter of the threaded portion 20 of the shaft 18. The second piece portion 38 does not have a threaded surface and does not engage the threads 20 of the bolt 12.
A compression stop surface 56 extends between the retainer portion 36 and the second piece portion 38. The compression stop surface 56 extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis 34 therebetween. The compression stop surface 56 works in combination with the fastener stop surface 50 to prevent compressive forces from being too great on the first workpiece 26.
The second piece portion 38 also includes a knurl portion 58. The knurl portion 58 extends out beyond the outer diameter of the second piece portion 38 to positively engage the second bore 28 of the second workpiece 30.
The bolt retainer 42 is received by and is housed within the retainer portion 36 of the longitudinal sleeve 32. The bolt retainer 42 is adapted to receive the bolt 12 therethrough and prevents the bolt 12 from falling out of the longitudinal sleeve 32 as the compression limiting assembly 10 is being inserted into the first 26 and second 30 workpieces.
The bolt retainer 42 defines a bolt retainer outer diameter, represented in the Figures by a bolt retainer outer surface 60. The bolt retainer outer diameter is larger than the retainer portion inner diameter such that the bolt retainer 42 is secured to the longitudinal sleeve 32 within the retainer portion 36 thereof. The diameter difference is large enough to create a friction fit between the bolt retainer 42 and the longitudinal sleeve 32. The bolt retainer 42, being fabricated from a thermoplastic, is compressed slightly when press fit into the retainer portion 36.
When viewing the bolt retainer outer surface 60, the bolt retainer 42 includes two sets of sections. The first is a set of concave sections 62. From the perspective of looking at the bolt retainer 42 in the side view, as shown in FIG. 2, each of the concave sections 62 define a curvature that reduces the inner diameter 64 of the bolt retainer 42. While any number of concave sections 62 may be used, the preferred embodiment of the invention 10 incorporates four concave sections 62.
Separating each of the four concave sections 62 is a convex section 66. More specifically, each of the concave sections 62 is joined to two convex sections 66. The set of convex sections 66 defines the outer diameter of the bolt retainer 42. It is the convex sections 66 that engage the retainer portion inner surface 40 to secure the bolt retainer 42 within the longitudinal sleeve 32.
Likewise, it is the concave sections 62 that define the inner diameter of the bolt retainer 42. The concave sections 62 engage and hold the bolt 12 within the bolt retainer 42 and, hence, the compression limiting assembly 10.
The bolt retainer 42 also includes a plurality of engaging arms 68. In the preferred embodiment, there are four engaging arms 68, one extending obliquely out from each of the concave sections 62. The engaging arms 68 extend out from the concave sections 62 to prevent undue stress on the point of extension 70, the point of which the engaging arms 68 extend out from the bolt retainer 42. In addition, the engaging arms 68 extend out from the concave sections 62 at an angle so distal ends 72 thereof may engage the retainer portion inner surface 40 to further secure the bolt retainer 42 within the longitudinal sleeve 32. The distal ends 72 are curved in the preferred embodiment.
As stated above, the bolt retainer 42 is formed of a thermoplastic material. The material allows the bolt 12 to be inserted therethrough. Because the concave sections 62 define an inner diameter of the bolt retainer 42 that is smaller than the outer diameter of the threaded portion 20 of the shaft 18, the bolt 12 cannot move freely with respect to the bolt retainer 42. The bolt 12 can move within the bolt retainer 42 if a force outside therefrom was applied thereto. The friction force between the bolt retainer 42 and the bolt 12 is, however, sufficient to prevent gravity from moving the bolt 12 with respect to the bolt retainer 42.
The invention has been described in an illustrative manner. It is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation.
Many modifications and variations of the invention are possible in light of the above teachings. Therefore, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described.

Serbia's prime minister, who was flashed by a model without underwear masquerading as a television interviewer, has launched an investigation into how he became the target of the prank, an aide has revealed.
The badly censored video clip of Ivica Dacic being interviewed by a brunette former model from Croatian Playboy, who uncrosses her legs in a scene reminiscent of actress Sharon Stone in the film Basic Instinct, has been viewed 2.7 million times on YouTube.
"The whole case will be fully investigated," Dacic's national security adviser, Ivica Toncev, was quoted as telling the Serbian daily Blic.
"This was Serbia being mocked, not the prime minister. The prime minister's office will not let this go unpunished," said Toncev. His office did not respond to requests for comments on the interview or the investigation.
The episode, set-up and filmed by a private Serbian production company, was not aired and the trailer for its prank television show Nemoguca Misija (Mission Impossible) was removed from its website.
The interviewer, who wore a low-cut, short silky dress for the encounter, said Dacic was a "real man".
"I have only good words for the prime minister," Blic quoted 35-year-old Branka Knezevic as saying.
"He is strong and sturdy, a real man for that position. He's exactly who should lead the country."
The prank drew on a scene in the 1992 film in which Stone, without underwear, crosses and uncrosses her legs to unsettle her police interrogators.
Serbs were divided over the clip which commentators said reflected the dubious mix of politics and low-brow pop culture in Serbia, a phenomenon that emerged during the wars and sanctions of the 1990s as federal Yugoslavia collapsed.
"He handled it well," said 28-year-old Belgrade clerk Dejan Perovic. "He's a man, and no man could remain emotionless in such a situation."
Pensioner Olga Mijatovic was less impressed.
"It was contemptible," she said. "It was humiliating both for Dacic and the country and he should have banned it immediately and dismissed his entire public relations team."
Dacic, 47, is also Serbia's interior minister and was formerly the spokesman for late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic during the bloody 1990s collapse of Yugoslavia.

Cleveland for a No Kill City is declaring mission accomplished and is announcing that it will now be operating in a more limited scope in consideration of the appointment of the city's first-ever liaison to oversee the no kill mission.
Officials said, "In just six months, the work of the grassroots organization devoted to seeing Cleveland become a No Kill City has resulted in the building of a Facebook following of nearly 5,000 individuals, a 24-hour telephone hotline for potential adopters, a six-day-a week pound photography team that uploads pictures of animals awaiting adoption to social media sites every day, a website that explains the No Kill mission and the mission of Cleveland for a No Kill City, and the beginnings of a database to track animals coming into and leaving Cleveland Animal Control. The database will eventually allow for tracking of specific areas of the county from which the most dogs and cats are surrendered/stray, specific information about types of animals surrendered/stray, and other more detailed analysis. This data will then allow for targeted work in spay/neuter, owner-retention and other areas to reduce intake rates."
Cleveland for a No Kill City created a conversation in the community, and built the infrastructure, that changed the kill rate at Cleveland Animal Control from more than 75 percent at this time in 2011, to just six percent for November 2012. The conversation has resulted in the City of Cleveland officially declaring its goal of becoming a No Kill City.
On Monday, Cleveland City Manager Janice Casteel informed the city council that former Cleveland for a No Kill City member Lindsey Smith had been appointed to the position of Cleveland/Bradley County, Tennessee Animal Control Liaison for Domestic Animal Rescue and Advocacy with a stated mission "to assist the city of Cleveland, governing bodies, its citizens, and all invested rescue groups in researching, developing, and implementing a plan by which Cleveland, TN will be certified No-Kill by providing a communicative point of contact and liaison for all animal rescue organizations, all available resources and Cleveland Animal Control staff."
Cleveland for a No Kill City officials said they wanted to take this opportunity to express its members gratitude to every adopter and sponsor, every individual who shared photos on Facebook or who posted pictures on other media outlets. The success we have achieved belongs to the animals who are alive today because of this work, but the success was possible because of thousands and thousands of caring people.
