Hi Experts
I have to migrate CO sets from one system to another.
For this what should I use?
While searching for options I found this....How appropriate is this for my case.
Extraction logic
Depending on the structure of the group (hierarchic or not), the data needs to be extracted into a level table or a parent child table file.
Programs/ functions to be used:
Programs RGSEXPH1, RGSEXPH2
BAPI functions:
SO what should I use, Bapi or program. Can somebody also explain what exactly is this program doing.
Thanks in advance
Hi Smriti
Welcome to SDN
Why dont you just ask the user to export and import it.... Go to KSH3 -> ENter the Hierarchy -> from the menu options you can export it to a txt file
Now create the Group in Target client from KSH1 and SAVE... Then import the File into target client from same menu option.... All the hierarchy gets imported
You can also transport them using OKE5 transaction code
br, Ajay M
Please review the note 101041.
Also please check the following information regarding the cost center hierarchy.
Please notice that there are two check boxes in OKE6 inside the frame 'cost centers':
o standard hierarchy
o cost center groups
Both types of groups are cost center groups (setclass '0101'). But for transport we difference between these both types:
standard hierarchy: will be transport the standard hierarchy only for the corresponding controlling area cost center groups: will be transport all alternative groups, it means all cost center groups they are not a part of standard hieararchy
You can check it in the used transport order request. Navigate to the transport order editor:
There must be different entries, for instance
R3OB SETS STAN\010100010001 for a standard hierarchy (setid behind '\')
<0101><co area><name of top node>
R3OB SETS STSD\01010001TEST for a non-standard hierarchy group
If you mark 'cost center groups' in OKE6 the system works as following:
1. determine all cost center groups from the corresponding CO area
2. reduce this amount to top nodes only
3. create for each top node a entry in transport order request
!!! exception: ignore the top node of standard hierachy !!!
Thanks Ajay and Waman for your suggestion
I have found a prgram RGSEXPH2 which exports the CO set groups from sap to presentation server which suits my requirement.
The problem i am facing is which the input on selection screen, this program contains Group name as a parameter only where else I want a select-option for the groupname.
In doing so I have make some changes in this program.
I am stuck here.
SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_grpnam-low.
Value request for group name
class = c_setclass
set = s_grpnam
typelist = 'BS'
show_field_name = ' '
show_table_name = ' '
setid = g_setid
set_name = s_grpnam.
the program is giving a dump bcoz export paramter 'set' has compatibility issue.
Can you help me with this.

Drivers on Super Bowl weekend may have noticed more black and yellow Washington County Sheriff's Office cars on the usual. And it won't be the last time this year that the office has extra manpower for traffic enforcement.
A grant from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office is enabling the department to pay deputies overtime hours for traffic enforcement during times of heavy traffic risk, such as Super Bowl weekend.
The $35,000 High Visibility Traffic Grant pays for 700 extra hours of traffic enforcement per year, giving busy deputies an opportunity to spend more time on the roads and, in turn, make them safer, said Washington County Sheriff's Deputy Roger Doak, who oversees the grant administration.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Washington County Sheriff's Deputy Cody Huffer tracks cars speed on Ohio 7 Monday afternoon. The traffic grant from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office pays overtime hours for deputies to spend more time enforcing speed and distracted driving violations.
The funds pay officers for overtime hours spent enforcing speeding, distracted driving, seat belt, and drunk driving laws, said Doak. Typically officers spend so much time following up on criminal complaints and cases that they do not have much time for traffic enforcement, he said.
"This allows them to go out and do those things they wouldn't normally have time for," he said.
Counties are eligible to apply for the grant based on the number of fatalities they experience, said Doak.

High Visibility Enforcement Grant:
Washington County Sheriff's Office was awarded a $35,000 grant for the 2014 fiscal year.
The grant will fund around 700 overtime hours for deputies providing traffic enforcement in high risk areas.
The goal is to reduce fatal and injury crashes.
The grant requires the WCSO to participate in ten mandatory blitz campaigns that typically coincide with holidays and events associated with increased traffic.
Source: Washington County Sheriff's Office and Ohio Traffic Safety Office.
"The idea is to make an impact on those fatals, to reduce crashes," he said.
Last year in Washington County there were nine traffic fatalities recorded in eight crashes.
The grant requires that the sheriff's office spend a certain number of the grant hours joining the Ohio State Highway Patrol on ten national blitz campaigns
The blitzes coincide with major events like the Super Bowl, local proms, Halloween, and Christmas.
The grant enables a great road safety partnership between the state patrol and sheriff's office, said Lt. Carlos Smith, OSHP Marietta Post commander.
"I think it's great the sheriff's office is helping us take a proactive role in our mission. Without the Sheriff's Office's help, we probably wouldn't be able to handle all the traffic issues," said Smith.
The snowy weather during Super Bowl weekend curtailed the sheriff's office's blitz hours a bit, said WSCO Capt. Troy Hawkins.
"We were short on some of the hours because of the weather. Weather conditions made traffic a lot less than it is normally," said Hawkins.
The next blitz will be around St. Patrick's Day. There are also a block of hours that can be used outside of the normal blitz times.
The grant is also good for deputies, who enjoy the overtime and the chance to get out from behind a desk, said Detective Sgt. Scott Parks.
"We don't get to work a whole lot of traffic," said Parks.
Parks, the sheriff's office specialist in computer analysis, spends a lot of his day analyzing and investigation electronic data for things such as sex offender violations.
"I work at a desk a lot. It's nice to get out of the office. In a way, (working traffic) takes you back to your roots as a law enforcement officer," said Parks.
Similarly, other deputies spend a lot of time responding to, following up on, and filling out reports on criminal and civil complaints, he said.
The grant is nothing new for the department. The department has been receiving a similar traffic enforcement grant for over eight years, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
To reward departments for active participation in the grant, the Ohio Traffic Safety Office also spends some of its funds to purchase equipment awarded to participants.
Last month the WCSO was awarded a $2,200 LaserSpeed device by Michael Brining, law enforcement liaison for the Ohio Traffic Safety Office, for their participation in last year's grant.
The department was in the top one-third of grant recipients statewide as far as active participation goes, said Brining.
"The Ohio Traffic Safety Office gets money to purchase equipment. It saves the local taxpayers' dollars," he said.
The LaserSpeed device is a multipurpose tool that will be put to good use by the department, said Mincks.
"This is great for us as far as school zones and reduced speed areas in the county," he said.
All 88 counties are eligible for the grants, which are based on the federal fiscal year and run October through September, said Brining. This year 67 county sheriff's offices applied and received a grant, he said.

Preggers Maternity Light Support Tights
Also found in:
Specially designed for pregnant tummies, these tights have a unique top that should fit all stages of pregnancy. 10-15mmHG gradient compression* in the legs eases swelling and fatigue and a support panel in the tummy area gives added stability. Made in the USA.
Sizing is based on pre-pregnancy weight.
Medium: fits about 5'-5'8", 110-150 lbs (not recommended for taller folks over 135 lbs)
Large: fits about 5'2"-6', 150-190 lbs (not recommended for taller folks over 170 lbs)
Because tights can be tricky to fit and there are a lot of ranges in height and weight, drop us a line with your measurements and inseam and we can help you find the right size.
Additional Info: The stretchy top can be worn folded, or unfolded to cover the belly. Reinforced toe and wicking ability adds even more to your comfort.
Our tester tells us that, due to the compressive nature of the legs of these tights, they can be difficult to put on, however once in place they do not move. Also available as a footless tight!
* Gradient compression has the most support at the ankle, decreasing in pressure at the top of the leg, to encourage better blood flow.
Fiber Content: 76% nylon, 24% Lycra®
Hand wash in cool water, line dry.

Comments about Therafirm Preggers Maternity Light Support Tights:
These are... Fine. Anyone who has been pregnant for longer than five minutes knows that quality, stylish maternity choices are few and far between. And these really aren't bad. Yes, difficult to get on, but decently comfy once you manage to accomplish that. My biggest gripe is with the weird toe seam. I think these would fit best on a slim or average sided woman who is not carrying too large. I'm about 5 foot 5 and was 135ish lbs before my pregnancy. I'm about 6 months along and not huge yet. Not sure if these will be comfortable in 3 months though.

Unfortunately, while I could get them on, the Large wasn't enough to cover my belly and they kept rolling down. I don't like wearing things under my belly; it's very uncomfortable. As I only wore them once, I'm hoping I can find someone to give them to, as they weren't cheap. I received footless tights and thought I had ordered them by mistake, but I just double-checked my order and I had ordered the footed ones. Disappointed, but it happens. Recommended for thinner/average women.

A:We honestly haven't tested these on very many people (we had one pregnant coworker when we brought them in, so most of our findings are based on her experience) but we think these would fit you. If you're willing to take a risk on them and report back with your findings, we would be willing to make an exception to our return policy on tights for the sake of research. Just give us a call if they don't fit and we'll work it out and update our sizing tips accordingly. 1-888-717-6257Answered on 12/24/2013 by rosalind from Sock Dreams HQ

With the World Cup over and the transfer window in full swing, the 2014/15 Premier League campaign is nearly upon us. In fact it's just 24 days away, which is probably just enough time to watch all the highlights from last season to remind you how amazing it was.
Luckily, next term could be equally as exciting, with Arsenal finally splashing the cash, Manchester City determined to produce a much better title defence than last time, Manchester United welcoming a new manager in Louis van Gaal and Chelsea seemingly only growing ever stronger under Jose Mourinho.
Tottenham could be set to cause a few surprises too with a new gaffer at the helm in Mauricio Pochettino, who will be keen to get the best out of the Lilywhites' struggling stars from summer 2013.
With that in mind, we take a look at what Spurs' starting XI might look like next season.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Fatal Pseudomembranous Colitis Associated with a Variant Clostridium difficile Strain Not Detected by Toxin A Immunoassay." It is in the 18 September 2001 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 135, pages 434-438). The authors are S Johnson, SA Kent, KJ O'Leary, MM Merrigan, SP Sambol, LR Peterson, and DN Gerding.
Pseudomembranous colitis is an uncommon but serious inflammation of the colon that can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and even death. It occurs in some people who have been given antibiotics. These drugs destroy harmless bacteria already in the colon that prevent the growth of disease-causing organisms. Subsequent growth of a particular organism, Clostridium difficile, can cause pseudomembranous colitis. This organism produces A and B toxins that can be measured in stool samples. Doctors usually use stool tests that measure toxin A to diagnose colitis rather than stool cultures because cultures often test positive for this organism in people without colitis. Whether the stool tests that are commonly used to detect clostridium toxins miss important strains (types) of clostridium is not well known.
To describe routinely available tests for Clostridium difficile toxins and the type of clostridium toxin that was missed in a patient with fatal pseudomembranous colitis.
One 86-year-old man who died of pseudomembranous colitis after taking antibiotics for pneumonia. The man had had negative results on repeated stool tests for toxin A.
The researchers used molecular techniques to analyze the clostridium recovered from the man's stool specimens. They also asked staff members at 67 laboratories in the Chicago area to describe the tests used at their laboratories to detect this organism.
Analysis of stool specimens showed a variant strain of Clostridium difficile that did not produce toxin A. Nearly half of the regional laboratories surveyed were using only stool tests for toxin A to detect this organism.
The findings relate to a single patient. The study did not determine whether pseudomembranous colitis is frequently caused by variant strains of this clostridium that are not detected with commonly used laboratory tests.
Variant strains of Clostridium difficile that are not detected with common stool tests for toxin A can cause pseudomembranous colitis.

Gain-of-function mutations in IFIH1 cause a spectrum of human disease phenotypes associated with upregulated type I interferon signaling.
1] Manchester Academic Health Science Centre, University of Manchester, Genetic Medicine, Manchester, UK. [2].
The type I interferon system is integral to human antiviral immunity. However, inappropriate stimulation or defective negative regulation of this system can lead to inflammatory disease. We sought to determine the molecular basis of genetically uncharacterized cases of the type I interferonopathy Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and of other undefined neurological and immunological phenotypes also demonstrating an upregulated type I interferon response. We found that heterozygous mutations in the cytosolic double-stranded RNA receptor gene IFIH1 (also called MDA5) cause a spectrum of neuroimmunological features consistently associated with an enhanced interferon state. Cellular and biochemical assays indicate that these mutations confer gain of function such that mutant IFIH1 binds RNA more avidly, leading to increased baseline and ligand-induced interferon signaling. Our results demonstrate that aberrant sensing of nucleic acids can cause immune upregulation.

I ran across West Coast Air at the SOHO conference this year. I thought they were very friendly and deserved a little support in light of all the complaints from residents. Float planes provide a great service which has been around years and years longer than any residents living near the water close to the areas where planes take off and land.
I know that it's not exactly Vancouver.... but I do heart Tofino.
Spotted on the 16 bus. Damit is actually a German word. I'm sure something else was intended!
You never know what you might find on a TransLink bus or the SkyTrain.

C-Suite Turnover Has Been Slow, But Changes Are Coming
CEOs and CFOs hunkered down in their corner offices during the financial crisis, but now are sounding out new opportunities, recruiters say.
A Booz & Co. released yesterday found CEO turnover had officially slowed to its lowest level since 2003. About 11.6% of CEOs left their job last year, down from 14.3% in 2009, according to an analysis of 2,500 public companies by the consulting firm. Meanwhile recruiting firm Heidrick & Struggles found an even slower turnover rate for finance chiefs in the Fortune 1000, with just 7.5% of CFOs turning over in 2010, down from 12.6% in 2009.
Recruiters say executives were hesitant to change jobs during the financial crisis, with many wanting to see their firms through a crisis. But now that the stock market has recovered and many executives can say they successfully led their companies through the recession, change is in the air. Though turnover may be slow now, recruiters say their phones are ringing.
"It's slow but it's picking up like crazy," said Eric Rehmann, head of the financial officers practice at executive recruiter Russell Reynolds Associates. "There's massive backlog. For CFOs who couldn't afford to retire two years ago, now they can."
Companies may also be looking for different skill sets now among their top executives as they focus on growth rather than cost cutting, Rehmann said.

Treasury Yields Ending May With a Flourish
Sell in May didn't happen this year for stock. For bonds, though, sell in May has been dead-on, and yields are ending May with a flourish.
Yields on U.S. Treasurys rose Tuesday, with the yield on the key 10-year note hitting 2.14% this afternoon, a 2013 high and the highest level since April 2012. This comes even as the stock rally has been more than halved; after trading up as much as 218 points, the Dow lately is up "only" 78 points. The 10-year's price was already in the red for 2013, and the most recent selloff is pushing prices back toward 2013 lows.
How high can yields go? Well, the yield on the 10-year has not been above 2.25% since August of 2011, and with the Fed still going full-bore on QE, there is a natural buyer in the market, one that has been working mightily to keep rates down. One wonders what the Fed is willing to tolerate, and what the economy could handle Deutsche Bank Joe Lavorgna on CNBC this morning suggested the economy could handle a 10-year yield at 3%. Others disagree.
"The economy expanding at something well below trend in the current quarter, and beset by the continuing sequester, simply cannot withstand materially higher rates," said Christopher Sullivan, CIO at United Nations Federal Credit Union, "especially the interest-rate-sensitive housing sector."
In the short term, rising rates, coming at the same time as home prices are rising, could actually spur more people into the market, WSJ's Nick Timaraos suggested this morning on the MoneyBeat show. But in the long run, higher rates could only hurt demand for housing.
Rising yields drive up interest rates for everything from home loans to credit cards to debt costs; it will push up interest payments on the federal debt as well as corporate debt. Is the economy strong enough to handle that? There's no way of yet telling, and besides, rising yields may create their own demand that will put a cap on any bond selloff.
After all, the yield on the 10-year is now above the dividend yield on the S&P 500, which is sitting around 1.98% and has been falling as equities prices have been rising. That's still not wide enough to make for an easy swap of one for the other. But it may give wary investors something to think about.

What Does the Recent Development of El Niño Mean for the Weather this Winter?
El Niño conditions have recently developed across the Pacific and they are forecast to continue to strengthen into the fall and winter months (see the below graph). Since El Niño conditions do influence large scale weather patterns, you may wonder what that means for the upcoming weather this winter across the South Plains?
Forecasts of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies for the Niño 3.4 region (5°N-5°S, 120°W-170°W). Figure courtesy of the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society. Updated 18 August 2009. The larger the values on the graph (positive and above 0.5), the stronger the El Niño episode. Click on the image for a larger view.
Although exact conclusions are sketchy, as is the case with large-scale weather patterns and long range forecasts, there are some trends that can be noted across the South Plains that are correlated with El Niño. Below are some observations made from previous El Niño episodes as compiled by Lubbock Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM) Jody James. The information is broken down by the strength of the El Niño episode as defined in the table below. The Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) is defined as the 3 month running mean of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region (5oN-5oS, 120o-170oW).
El Niño Definition Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) Weak 0.5 - 0.9 Moderate 1.0 - 1.4 Strong 1.5 - 1.9 Extreme 2.0 +
El Niño Definition
Oceanic Niño Index (ONI)
0.5 - 0.9
1.0 - 1.4
1.5 - 1.9
2.0 +
The below information was compiled by examining precipitation information collected at the Lubbock airport.
Winter Precipitation (December through February)
Average Precipitation
1.88 inches
All El Niño Winters
2.28 inches
21% increase
Weak El Niño Winters
1.59 inches

Moderate El Niño Winters

15% decrease
Strong El Niño Winters
2.52 inches
34% increase
Extreme El Niño Winters
3.88 inches
106% increase
Winter Precipitation (December through February)
Since 1950 there have been 17 El Niño episodes and 18 episodes during winter (One El Niño episode continued for two winter seasons, from 1986 through 1988). The above precipitation data is for climatological winter (December through February), while the snowfall data represents the cool season period from October through April. Extreme El Niño episodes occurred in 1972-73, 1982-83, and 1997-98. Since 1950, there have been 5 weak episodes, 4 moderate, 5 strong, and 3 extreme. Winter Snowfall (October through April)
Average Snowfall
10.4 inches
All El Niño Winters
13.9 inches
34% increase
Weak El Niño Winters
13.7 inches
32% increase
Moderate El Niño Winters
9.2 inches
12% decrease
Strong El Niño Winters
16.0 inches
54% increase
Extreme El Niño Winters
24.5 inches
136% increase
Winter Snowfall (October through April)
From the above tables we can see that:
What does this all mean?
According to some of the computer models (graph toward the top), it appears that a moderate to strong El Niño episode is likely this upcoming winter. Hence, there may be a greater than average chance at the South Plains being wetter (and perhaps snowier) than normal this winter, particularly if a strong El Niño does develop. The official long range forecast for the United States reflects this, and can be found at the Climate Prediction Center by CLICKING HERE.
The development of El Niño is also sometimes linked with cooler than normal conditions across the southeast United State during the winter, but the correlation between temperatures and El Niño is relatively weak for the South Plains. The current long range forecast from the Climate Prediction Center for the South Plains calls for equal chances to a slightly greater than average chance of winter temperatures being above average.

On April 12, Jo Ann Hofheimer, Interim Board Chair and Maurice Jones, Immediate Past Board Chair, hosted a group of folks from the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area for a lovely event at the Hofheimer's home. Mint Juleps were flowing and Elton Williams, one of VA Folklife's Apprentice Masters, played the steel drums and explained to the crowd the folk tradition of making and playing the drums.
Jo Ann has been a very active board member at VFH, particularly in the Center for the Book and Virginia Folklife areas. Unfortunately for VFH, Jo Ann will be stepping down from the Board this summer and Maurice has just taken on his new post in the Obama Administration as Deputy Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Both will be sorely missed by everyone at VFH.
Thank you to Jo Ann & Buzzy Hofheimer and Maurice Jones for hosting such a fabulous evening for VFH! The Board has made a commitment to cultivation events as a crucial strategy to find new supporters to the Annual Fund and partners for programming. Stay tuned for more of these cultivation events in the coming months in McLean, Charlottesville and Roanoke.

An important goal in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) research is to minimize associated cognitive side-effects while maintaining its high efficacy. This study explored the use of a novel approach, right unilateral (RUL) ECT with an ultrabrief pulsewidth (0.3 ms) (RUL-UB), in comparison with standard RUL ECT. Seventy-four depressed in-patients received RUL-UB ECT at six times seizure threshold, and 22 patients received standard RUL ECT (1.0 ms pulsewidth) at five times seizure threshold. Formal, prospective evaluations of mood and cognitive functioning over the treatment course were done by a rater blinded to treatment condition. Efficacy was maintained using the ultrabrief pulsewidth, with equivalent numbers of responders and remitters to the standard RUL ECT group, although the speed of response was slower. Cognitive outcomes were superior in the RUL-UB ECT group, particularly in the retention of verbal and visual information, as well as in retrograde autobiographical memory.

Seven bombs exploded across Baghdad on Wednesday, killing 23 people and wounding scores, police and medical sources said, part of the worst wave of violence to hit Iraq in at least five years. The Shi'ite-led government has blamed Sunni Muslim insurgents linked to al-Qaeda for the increased bomb attacks, which have mainly targeted Shi'ite civilians.

The New England Journal of Medicine has just published an interesting and possibly disturbing study showing that the anti-depressants Prozac and Paxil may be less effective than previously thought because studies showing their lack of efficacy were never published or incorporated into overall reviews of the drugs. As the New York Times reports:
In published trials, about 60 percent of people taking the drugs report significant relief from depression, compared with roughly 40 percent of those on placebo pills. But when the less positive, unpublished trials are included, the advantage shrinks: the drugs outperform placebos, but by a modest margin, concludes the new report, which appears Thursday in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Previous research had found a similar bias toward reporting positive results for a variety of medications; and many researchers have questioned the reported effectiveness of antidepressants. But the new analysis, reviewing data from 74 trials involving 12 drugs, is the most thorough to date. And it documents a large difference: while 94 percent of the positive studies found their way into print, just 14 percent of those with disappointing or uncertain results did.
It's important to note that the authors of this study were not able to investigate the reasons for non-publication:
"We cannot determine whether the bias observed resulted from a failure to submit manuscripts on the part of authors and sponsors, from decisions by journal editors and reviewers not to publish, or both."
There might be good reasons why some of the trials were not published – poor design for example. And without that kind analysis, which this NEJM study doesn't provide, the idea that the manufacturers were engaged in some sort of conspiracy to cover up data detrimental to selling their products remains unproven.
Still, the significance in metal analysis of failing to account for studies that find no result was highlighted by the research which claimed the diabetes drug Avandia was associated with an increased risk for heart attack. When studies which didn't find an association were factored into the meta analysis, this increase in risk disappeared.
Dare we bring up the irony that both the New England Journal of Medicine, which published the Avandia study by cardiologist Steve Nissen, and the New York Times, which gave it significant coverage both on the news pages and on the editorial pages, overlooked this confounding absence, even when it began to be the subject of widespread criticism?

This is supposed to be the EASIEST question on my assignment. canyou help me solve it? maybe interpret it for me?
"calculate the impulse of an ideal filterwith cut-off frequency of a)2KHz, and b)3KHz for a signal sampledwith a rate 8000 samples/sec."
what i'm confused about is: are a) and b)independent of each other? how do i fit the sampling rate into it?how do i know if it's lowpass or highpass or bandpass?
the textbook gives me the following formulae:
h(ideal lowpass)=(Ω(cut-off)/π)*sinc(k*Ω(cut-off)/π))
h(ideal high pass)=(δ[k]-h[k](ideal high pass))

A continuous and reliable energy supply is a fundamental requirement of our modern society as it enables production, transport and communication. Presently we mostly rely on fossil fuels, but they are getting increasingly scarce, and they also threaten our climate. CWI studies green energy sources like wind turbines, solar cells, CO2 neutral fuels and controlled nuclear fusion. The natural variability of sustainable energy sources can be encountered by smart energy networks or efficient cross-continental electricity lines, the energy delivery can be steered by pricing.
CWI researchers use their mathematical core expertise to contribute to the development of all these technologies. They use leading tools of modeling, analysis and computing to understand and optimize the technical equipment for green energy sources and energy transport, and they develop advanced software to steer the complex future energy supply with many players and systems. Energy projects are carried out with industry and research partners such as NUON, KEMA, the FOM Institute for Plasma Physics (DIFFER), ECN and ABB Corporate Research.
At CWI, energy research questions are investigated from various perspectives by the following research groups:

Tonight I made Cashew Vegetable Korma for dinner and it was DELICIOUS! The recipe is from Post Punk Kitchen (link here). I've made a few things from her site already this week, but this one is the bomb! You're uspposed to mix the sauce in with the vegetables, but I kept them separate because DH wants to see later on if it's good over some chicken (it will be, but I'm not going there right now). Here's a photo (again, sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. Promise I'll dig out my other camera soon):

..or that how it seems anyway. Besides working (from home for now), doing some housework and preparing to redo the house and backyard, planning healthy meals (well- healthy-ish; I know I'm missing green leafy veggies, but they just don't appeal to me right now) is the only thing I seem to be accomplishing lately. Which is totally fine since that's pretty important :)

I hadn't been to Trader Joe's in months and months before I decided to make the trip this afternoon. What a dope I've been- they have so many great products and actually have pretty decent prices! I bought a 1 liter bottle of olive oil for $5.50- I was expecting to pay $18.00 at Safeway later this week, d'oh! So anyway, I came home with quite a few items and I managed to use six of them in my dinner tonight.
My favorite side dish (that is frequently the main dish here)

I make these jalapeño "poppers" pretty often. They're so fast, they have 3 ingredients (unless you decide to tweak them a little) and most important- they're SOOO yummy!

Low vision means that even with regular glasses, contact lenses,
medicine, or surgery, people find everyday tasks difficult to do.
Reading the mail, shopping, cooking, and writing can seem challenging.
The chief causes of vision loss in older people are age-related macular
degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, cataract, and glaucoma. Among
younger Americans, low vision is most often caused by inherited eye
conditions, infectious and autoimmune eye disease, or trauma.
Our vision rehabilitation service provides expert solutions for all the challenges that individuals with visual impairments face. If a vision loss has made it hard to do a simple task, read mail, pay bills, recognize family and friends, we can help. Our vision rehabilitation services allow people to lead a more productive life.

But just attending college was not enough to guarantee Elion or her classmates careers in science. "It was an all-girls school and think many of our teachers were uncertain whether most of us would really go on," Elion wrote. "As a matter of fact, many of the girls went on to become teachers and some went into scientific research."
Because of the Depression, Elion did not have enough money to go on to graduate school. Laboratory jobs were difficult to get, and most of them went to men. Then one day, she met someone who needed a laboratory assistant, and Elion went to work for him for free. It was 18 months before she was finally earning a decent salary: $20 a week.
Elion finally saved enough money to attend graduate school at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, where she received a masters degree. During W.W. II, women got jobs that came available when the men went off to war. Because of this, Elion was able to work part-time on her doctoral degree and part-time at a lab doing quality control for a food company. She would test the acidity of pickles and make sure the berries slated for jam were not moldy.
Finally, Elion met George Hitchings, a researcher who would change the course of her career. He gave her a job in his laboratory, allowing her to learn and take on as much responsibility as she wanted--sometimes even more than she wanted. Her work with Hitchings led her from organic chemistry into the realms of microbiology, pharmacology, immunology and virology. It was valuable experience she would use later while developing medicines for drug companies.
Elion produced drugs for herpes, leukemia, malaria, gout and immune disorders. She developed immune suppressants to overcome rejection of donated organs in transplant surgery. Her work with George Hitchings led to the development of the AIDS drug AZT. In later years she joined the faculty at Duke University and the University of North Carolina. She served on advisory committees for the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, the Leukemia Society of America and on a committee for the tropical disease research division of the World Health Organization. She also served on countless other committees and worked with a private drug company.
Although she never did earn a doctoral degree from Brooklyn Polytechnic, the University of Michigan, Washington University and Brown University all awarded Elion honorary Ph.D.s. In 1988, she received the Nobel Prize, to be shared with two other scientists, including her colleague and former employer George Hitchings. In 1991, Elion received a National Medal of Science, which she got to keep all to herself.

Women Recipients of the Nobel Prize:
For almost as long as the Nobel Prizes have been awarded, women have been winning them for science, literature, medicine and peace.

The so-called "Java Giants"—Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks—have launched simultaneous national expansion plans in the US. That might seem to portend the battle of the morning monoliths but, interestingly, the initiatives present no such traditional competitive warfare.
Dunkin' and Starbucks have come to the conclusion that they are appealing to vastly differing cults, or tribes. Starbucks is the "welcome to our wireless living room, park your Beemer between the lines" venue, where people delight in using bizarre language to describe the most prosaic of drinks. (Does "vente" really help the process at all?) It is a place to chat and show off your Mac 17" Titanium, or the fact that you're reading "The Stranger" in the original French.
Dunkin' is the "how many sugars, don't just sit there if you've finished your sausage/cheese meal, and please don't leave the pickup in the drive-thru lane" place. It is blue-collar, no-nonsense cups of "Joe," and the breakfast sandwiches can cause a cholesterol spike that resembles the audio feedback of a train wreck. It's a place where you talk football, American Idol, and very local politics.
Who Constitutes Your "Tribe"?
Let's put it this way: When Dunkin' introduced its grilled sandwich called the Panini, the customers liked the taste but found the name confusing and too high-brow. That same sandwich is currently called "the big melt." (If Starbucks deigned to provide a warm sandwich, it would no doubt be the "plus elegante croque monsieur."
All right, I'm getting hungry, so here's my point. Differentiating yourself, even in markets with "gigante" competitors, is not difficult if you can establish who constitutes your particular "tribe." Your value proposition is vital (How are customers better off once you walk away?) but the stratification of your universe of potential customers for that value can determine just how cost-effective and productive your marketing will be.
Consultants who approach the market with the opportunity that their customer is "anyone who can pay my fee for any of my competencies" may be maximizing their potential buyers, but they are also maximizing their actual competition. It seems to me that the point is to produce the most high-quality net prospects, not total prospects. In other words, it's better to have 100 prospective buyers who find you substantially differentiated than it is to have 1,000 prospects who don't see you as differentiated at all.
I don't believe in "specialize or die" or any of that polarized thinking. I do believe, however, that if your buyers are the heads of sales, for example, you may be better off if you can determine whether they are in large companies or small, for-profits or non-profits, government or education. It may also make a difference whether they are start-up or mature, domestic or global, leading their industries or also-rans.
Starbucks and Dunkin' can co-exist forever. In fact, they would probably suffer if either tried to appeal to the other's constituency. We all control our marketing efforts, our sales approach, our brands, our collateral, our conversation. Do you know who your top-priority prospective buyer is with some differentiation, or do you simply believe "it's the sales department"?
"Nice, But We Don't Need That…"
Your size and background don't dictate your tribal targets, but your value proposition does. Bear in mind that some prospective markets are much tougher than others. For example, family-owned businesses, education, and government are the three toughest market segments I've ever observed. Many people work in them successfully, but it's rare to find one of those successful people also working in Fortune 100 firms or in entrepreneurial start-ups. It's done, but it's not the rule.
It's tough to be all things to all people, even with a powerful brand. (You generally need powerful brands, plural, to appeal to vastly differing market segments.)
Here is some help in differentiating your target markets:
- First, think of the particular buyer who will pay money for your value, not a firm or general market. Individuals buy services, not entities.
- Ask yourself what attributes of those buyers are most attractive and/or relevant for you. For example, is it a rapid-growth mindset, a deliberative pace, a huge span of control, a tightly controlled group, a market leader or market laggard?
- Use just a couple of adjectives to aid the differentiation. (Don't use too many or no one will need you, e.g., "I'm a telemarketing consultant specializing in outbound sales of mortgage products in the $250,000 range for new construction only in the northeast." "Well, that's nice, but we don't need that.") A good example would be, "We assist sales leaders of large service operations to reduce closing time and associated costs of acquisition."
- If you have multiple capabilities, consider multiple brands, Web sites, promotional material, and so forth. Very, very few consultants, for instance, are successful in marketing to small and large firms with the same materials and promotion. But some have done it with differentiated promotion and materials.
Take charge of your own marketing and perception, and don't leave them to the market or the competition. Identify your top-priority probable constituency within the realm of all possible buyers.
Enjoy your next chai, soy, vanilla mocha whatever, or your next giant iced coffee, whatever it is. But the odds are you're not getting them in the same place. Make sure you hold a very special place for your true prospective buyers.

Tribute to Former Xerox CEO, David T. Kearns, Past Baldrige Supporter
March 11, 2011
Baldrige Customer Service
Chuck Chada, former Xerox executive and incoming Chair of the Baldrige Panel of Judges reflects that it often helps to distill thoughts down to a personal level - David Kearns; former CEO and Chairman of Xerox from 1982 -1991, former Deputy Secretary of Education, and a man of many accomplishments, passed away February 25. A major part of his legacy resulted from his efforts in implementing Leadership through Quality to restore Xerox to a competitive position, efforts which were validated when Xerox won the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The honor of winning Baldrige in 1989 was always very special and remained a key accomplishment to Mr. Kearns. Vernon Jordan delivered the eulogy at Mr. Kearns' funeral and related how Mr. Kearns jumped up and down in his office with the glee of a school boy when he learned that Xerox had won. Over 20 years later, obituaries referenced the Baldrige award and contained photos of Mr. Kearns on stage with President Bush. I can think of no other Public / Private Sector partnership program that has had this type of deep and lasting impact.

Missouri Passes Landmark Dairy Legislation
Missouri Passes Landmark Dairy Legislation
Missouri is the first state to pass landmark dairy legislation that enhances the dairy title provisions of the recently passed federal Farm Bill.
The Missouri General Assembly approved provisions of the "Missouri Dairy Revitalization Act of 2014", with strong bi-partisan support, in Senate Bill 506, sponsored by Senator Brian Munzlinger (District 18), by a vote of 26-0 in the Senate and House Bill 1326, sponsored by Representatives Casey Guernsey (District 2) and Bill Reiboldt (District 160), by a vote of 101-38 in the House.
The bills now await the signature of Missouri Governor Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon to become law.
The act requires the Missouri Department of Agriculture to establish a dairy producer insurance premium assistance program for producers who participate in the federal margin protection program for dairy producers. Participating producers shall be reimbursed for 70% of their federal premium payment.
Further, this act establishes the Missouri Dairy Scholars Program. This program makes available 80 scholarships at $5,000 each toward tuition at any college or university in Missouri for students in agriculture-related degree programs that make a commitment to work in the agriculture industry.
Additionally, under this act, the University of Missouri's commercial agriculture program shall conduct an annual study of the dairy industry and develop a plan for how to grow the dairy industry in Missouri.
"Concern for job stability and economic activity in Missouri were the driving forces for support of these dairy provisions," says Larry Purdom, president of the Missouri Dairy Association (MDA) and a dairy farmer from Purdy.
"With the loss of dairy farms continuing in Missouri at an alarming rate due to drought and poor margins, the pressure of finding local milk for our 15 dairy processing plants has reached a critical stage. One plant closed at Monett last year with the loss of 60 jobs," says Purdom.
"A University of Missouri study showed in 2011 that Missouri's dairy product manufacturing industries directly employed 5,515 workers with a total state payroll of $258 million. Missouri's dairy manufacturing plants produced an estimated $4.4 billion worth of dairy products.
"Missouri's dairy product manufacturing industry revenues translated into statewide total economic output worth $7.7 billion. When you include the jobs, created at the farm level and with additional suppliers, a total of 23,297 jobs were supported providing $1.2 billion in labor income to Missourians in 2011.
"Missouri's gross domestic product (GDP) was $2.0 billion larger due to the value added by
Missouri's dairy product manufacturing industries," says Purdom.
"Our industry means a lot to Missouri and to our consumers. But it all starts at the farm with the dairy farmer and his/her cows furnishing the local milk supply," concludes Purdom.

text: Kaeser's new fluid-cooled CSD and CSDX rotary screw compressors combine outstanding performance and energy efficiency with versatile and compact design. With motor powers from 45 kW to 90 kW, the five models of both ranges cover free air deliveries from 8.3 to 16.1 m³/min (at 8.5 bar) and are designed for pressures up to 15 bar. Covering free air deliveries from 8.3 to 16.1 m³/min (at 8 bar), CSD and CSDX rotary screw compressors combine outstanding performance and energy efficiency with maximum versatility and compact design. Kaeser's new CSD and CSDX rotary screw compressor ranges provide significant energy savings in four ways: 1. CSD and CSDX units feature a large, low speed Sigma Profile airend equipped with flow-optimised rotors for superior efficiency. In combination with additional optimisation measures, such as the minimisation of internal pressure losses, Kaeser's energy-efficient design has enabled specific power to be reduced by between 3 and 6 % compared with previous models. 2. Kaeser rotary screw airends are powered by IE3 drive motors for maximum performance and reliability. 3. Kaeser's highly efficient 1:1 drive design eliminates the transmission losses associated with gear or V-belt driven systems, as the motor directly drives the airend. 4. The newly developed PC-based "Sigma Control 2" compressor controller enables compressor performance to be precisely matched to actual air demand thereby allowing additional energy savings.Kaeser's new Sigma Control 2 controller also offers added advantages: This advanced system provides greater flexibility through its numerous interfaces and innovative plug-in communication modules. Therefore, connection to energy-saving master control systems, computer networks and/or remote diagnostics and monitoring systems, such as Kaeser's Teleservice facility, couldn't be easier. The large display located on the control panel also simplifies on-site communication with the system, whilst an SD card slot speeds up data-reading and update processes. Furthermore, the addition of an RFID reader ensures service continuity, increases security and significantly raises service quality. The "Sigma Control 2" is also responsible for monitoring of compressors, refrigeration dryers and frequency converters as available.The highly effective cooling system ensures low compressed air discharge temperatures and features a condensate separator with automatic drain monitoring. Consequently, over 95 percent of accumulating condensate can be separated from the air flow. The cooler is located on the rear-side of the unit where a generously sized intake opening is available for the cooling air. This system prevents the cooling air from being pre-warmed and, as a result, optimises the cooling effect. The efficiency and reliability of downstream compressed air treatment equipment is therefore also considerably enhanced.Environmentally-responsible design also applies to the fluid-filter element, which is metal-free and can be incinerated after use without further treatment.As well as standard versions, models are available with frequency control and an integrated refrigeration dryer module that allows production and drying of compressed air with minimal space requirement. Even more efficient than previous models and using nearly 50 percent less refrigerant, the dryer is designed for high ambient temperatures and operates with minimal pressure loss. Moreover, because it is installed in a separate enclosure, the dryer remains completely unaffected by heat from the compressor.CSD and CSDX compressors are also available as variable speed controlled versions, which - like standard models - ensure the very best in efficient, dependable and maintenance-friendly operation.

I couldn't let her go. She was too pink and coppery and beautifully made, plus the money went to maintaining the arts.
My mother was the highest bidder on this very cool gift basket filled with wine and 5 CD sets of classical music, handpicked by a member of the Cal Phil:
All in all it was a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon and do good for an organization that makes such beautiful music.
