Write out the profit equation and describe each term.
Solutions for Chapter 3
Write out the profit equation and describe each term.
The key relation for Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis is the profit equation. Every organization's financial operations will be stated as a simple relation among total revenues (TR), total costs (TC) and operating profit.
Profit equation
Total revenue (TR) equals average selling price per unit (P) times the units of output (X).
In the profit equation, total costs (TC) can be divided into a fixed component that does not vary according to the changes in output levels, and a variable component that does vary. The fixed component is made up of total fixed costs (F) per period; the variable component is the product of the average variable cost per unit (V) multiplied by the quantity of output sold (X). Therefore, the cost function is

To the Editor.—The call to action1 clearly demonstrates how dissatisfied health care
professionals have become with for-profit hospital chains and health maintenance
organizations (HMOs). What is interesting is that investors in those entities
are becoming almost as dissatisfied as physicians, nurses, and patients. Executives
of HMOs and hospital chains have claimed they can provide patients with excellent
care, physicians with a good income and an attractive working environment,
employers with low health care premiums, regulators with an assurance that
the rules are being followed, and investors with a high rate of return. These
claims may have proven to be both contradictory and overly optimistic. Once
again, when something appears to be too good to be true, you had better watch
your wallet.

One of the unsolved mysteries of evolution is how animals evolved from their unicellular ancestors and what particular mechanisms took part in the development of their complex body plans. Leaded by researchers of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (UPF-CSIC), a team has now deciphered the genetic mechanisms responsible for the great evolutionary success of animals. The results, which are published today in the journal Cell, point out that these mechanisms are found in the whole animal kingdom, including animals, but not in their unicellular ancestors.
According to this study, the great innovation that makes animals differ from their unicellular relatives is not the origin of new genes, but distal gene regulation.
Researchers have compared the genetic and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of animals with that of one of the closest animal relatives, the amoeba Capsaspora owczarzaki, which was isolated from the hemolymph of a Puerto Rico snail. According to Ruiz-Trillo and colleagues, the amount of common regulatory mechanisms is higher than the number of differences.

My ODS isn't talking yet. We communicate though. He's smart & busy, no other delays. Hearing is fine. Dr isn't worried. We've been in speech therapy for 7mo & some progress, but I'm not overly happy with his therapy. Our dr agreed to send a referall to nearby Children's Hospital, I wonder if they can do any more. He says no & a few other words. Any suggestions? Other than speaking he is normal, busy, plays, terrorizes his 6yo brother . He's growing fine too. Anyone else have a late talker? We try signs off & on & then I wish I had done more with them, but I still can. I get overwhelmed with all the signs & then get family's concerns that signing will delay speech. I know it won't, but then I worry & question myself. I'm not as worried as others, he's independent. I don't agree that he knows how to talk & just won't. In the last few months he's been making more noise talking so I'm wondering if he's progressing since they do talk Greek for a while.

My DD is also in speech. You should go to your local school district & have him tested- if he is delayed as much as you say he is in speech he will qualify for preschool in your school district. This will include one on one time with a speech patholigist. Our DD barely spoke on her 3rd birthday after months of speech therapy. Then we put her into the specialized preschool program which for her is 2 days a week 2 and half hours a day and she now speaks in sentences.
I agree with you-signing will NOT delay your son. Doing it along with using the words will help him & you communicate so there is less frustration. Start looking into your school districts programs (they all have them & they are free) I cannot thank those teachers enough for what they have done for our DD. Dec 21st she told me she loved me for the 1st time... now she speaks in full sentences. She will qualify to stay in till she is retested at 5yrs- our dd has a social delays also which we are still working on & haven't made as much progress with but she's getting there.
Good luck! Your speech therapist should be able to help you with transitioning into the school district also & you can always do both!
Happily married to my bestfriend since 2000 & doing our best to raise our 4 little individuals dd 02 ds 04 dd 08 dd 09
We are planning on getting the speech therapy through the school when he starts preschool this Sept. One of the teachers said they were so understaffed last year they didn't start till Dec! She also wanted to put him in the 3yo class instead of 4s which he qualifies for based on bday. Dr & I agree he should go to 4s. He's not learning behind.
Keep at it with the 5yo in the social area. Our first was so anti social we wondered about Aspberger's. We've done so much work with him & started an IEP before kindergarten. He blossomed so much in kindergarten! We were shocked. He talks to relatives now & isn't so closed off. They may even dismiss his IEP if he does well the first 9 wks or semester of 1st grade. Your work will pay off.
We were looking into one preschool, I'll see about speicalized one too.

Some folks would understandably be a bit taken back by the suggestion of autism. Also, even if you have to, demand your regular pediatrician to do the referral to a Developmental Pediatrician. My son's doc blew me off and poo-pooed our delayed language concerns for a a year. At 13 months, we went around the doctor and had our LO screened by our state's Early Intervention program. He got speech therapy from them for two years, and he also got a a bit of occupational therapy too. When the speech therapy just wasn't going anywhere promising, we demanded a referral from our Peds doc to see a Dev. Pediatrician. She was able to diagnose our kiddo in less than an hour. Because we obtained the diagnosis, we have been able to implement proper therapies that have really benefitted our kiddo. Without the diagnosis, we might otherwise have been lost about what to do. I am happy to tell you that our son has gone from a normally developing kid with 4-5 total words at 13 months to an almost 4-year-old who asks questions and speaks conversationally. I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, just pm me!
My oct 2009 boy is in speech. I started him right after his 2nd birthday and they started us with home visits. At 3, they put him in public preschool and he has really exploded. It is really scary as a mom to deal with this, I know. Just keep advocating for your babe and if he isn't in preschool yet, get him in asap.

My DS had very few words at 18 mos and none that he would repeat. We put him into speech therapy and he's been in it for over 1.5 years. He progressed slowly but definitely progressed... to the point now I don't think there's much he thinks that he doesn't say. LOL. He is probably still on the lower end of what a 3.5 year old is typically saying but he's getting there.
He started preschool last fall - even though I was a SAHM I thought it would be good for him. It was the best choice we ever made, he loves it! It has definitely helped his speech and social skills.
Like others said, be an advocate for your kid. If a doctor says there's nothing wrong, but your gut says there is, then get another doctor. Getting any type of intervention/therapy works best now when they're still young.

Milwaukee Irish Arts shines light on shameful past with 'Eclipsed'
In February, Ireland finally came clean regarding some very dirty laundry, admitting its long-standing role in aiding and abetting the existence of the notorious Magdalene laundries.
Ostensibly asylums for the reform of "fallen" women, these facilities enabled the Catholic Church to turn a tidy profit by using women - petty criminals, unwed mothers or simply young women deemed overly flirtatious or beautiful, in a country that has long associated women with sex and sex with sin - as a slave labor pool. The last one wasn't closed until 1996. »Read Full Article(4)
Setzer brings swinging holiday cheer to Potawatomi
On the 16th day of November, Brian Setzer gave with glee: 5 sax men, 4 trumpet players, 2 backing singers...and drums dressed in tinsel, glittering.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra's Christmas show, at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater, also had falling suds (subbing for snow), TV theme song cameos (including "The Flintstones," "Peter Gunn" and "The Andy Griffith Show") and covers from Setzer's Stray Cats rockabilly days. »Read Full Article(1)

Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

SCHOOL opens in 34 days.
And since our editorial last week enumerating the many things that must happen for schools to get the money they need to open - a total of $304 million from the state, the city and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers - zero progress has been made.
There are promises of money from a variety of sources, but the district doesn't yet have full commitments or access to the money. For example, $50 million that would come from an extension of the 1-percent hike in the sales tax has not been authorized by City Council; some members, including Council President Darrell Clarke, want to split up the proceeds from the sales tax between the schools and pension fund. Councilwoman Sanchez proposed last week instead to have the city write a check for $50 million from the general fund. City officials announced Monday that that option was a no-go.

It was an Atlantic City plot as familiar as a rerun on Turner Classic Movies: Homeowner vows to save house against the forces of eminent domain, played out in the shadow of a casino.
It has been playing for the better part of two decades in this troubled seaside resort, since Vera Coking famously stood up to Donald Trump.
But this latest version has impeccable and elegant casting. On Tuesday morning, homeowner and onetime piano prodigy turned piano tuner Charlie Birnbaum, 67, the son of Holocaust survivors, found so many ways to show just how much his three-story brick walkup building at 311 Oriental Ave., on the back side of Revel Casino Resort, means to him.

Avaya today announced that it is extending automation from the data centre to the end device, completely removing manual provisioning from everyday service delivery. With new and enhanced networking products and solutions, Avaya becomes the only vendor in the industry to deliver a unified automated network from the data centre to the end device.
The new Avaya Automated Campus builds on the company's software-defined data centre framework, now spanning the data centre and the campus. Avaya's software-defined data centre framework leverages Avaya Fabric Connect with enhanced Shortest Path Bridging and intelligent orchestration capabilities. With the Avaya Automated Campus, IT departments can turn up scalable cloud-based services by provisioning end points at the data centre edge and the Wiring closet edge – without having to configure any devices in between. IT simply sets up their critical distribution and core switches once, then turns up and makes changes to services at the edges.
The announcement also includes the automated attachment of end-user devices, such as wireless APs, IP cameras and phones, and non-fabric switches with a new feature called Avaya Fabric Attach. This Best of Interop finalist in the networking category can save IT managers hours – even days. Fabric Attach can significantly reduce the potential for errors by eliminating hundreds of edge CLI commands that can cause end user service delays and costly downtime and performance issues. Avaya Identity Engines as integral part of this suite authenticates end-user devices, empowering their dynamic assignment to the appropriate cloud-based service based on a user's credentials. Avaya also enhanced Identity Engines to provide both unified network and application access with Single-Sign-On capabilities for Avaya applications. This functionality allows network administrators to centrally set, assign, securely store and change access credentials. A second, Best of Interop finalist for Avaya, this one in the security category, simplifies the enforcement of policies in a consumerised IT era.
The Automated Campus is powered by new products as well as software-based enhancements.
- Avaya's new Virtual Services Platform 8284XSQ is the first of a new category of networking products called Compact Form-Factor Switches. It powers the core and delivers massive 10/40 Gigabit density in a 2U-sized platform with chassis-class performance and functionality.
- The new Virtual Services Platform 4450 powers the Campus distribution network delivering multiservice fabric-based networking for heavy fibre-based environments.
- At the wiring closet, Avaya's flagship ERS 4800 has been enhanced with Fabric Connect software – now allowing for the virtualised network to extend end to end.
- Fabric Attach will be available as a software upgrade for both the Avaya wired and wireless edge platforms.
- Identity Engines provides BYOD, network and guest access support for the Automated Campus as well as dynamic assignment of devices to the correct virtualised network.
Avaya is demonstrating these award-winning capabilities at Interop 2014, being held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from April 1 – 3, Booth #2151. Fabric Connect will also provide simple, resilient networking as part of the InteropNet NOC.

Intellectual Property Rights and Innovation: Evidence from the Human Genome
Do intellectual property (IP) rights on existing technologies hinder subsequent innovation? Using newly collected data on the sequencing of the human genome by the public Human Genome Project and the private firm Celera, this paper estimates the impact of Celera's gene-level IP on subsequent innovation. Across a range of empirical specifications, I document evidence that Celera's IP led to reductions in subsequent scientific research and product development on the order of 20-30 percent. These results suggest that Celera's short-term IP had persistent negative effects on subsequent innovation relative to a counterfactual of Celera genes having always been in the public domain.

CalDesal is the only advocacy group in California dedicated to advancing the responsible development of ocean desalination, groundwater desalination and salinity management activities to help meet the state's water-supply challenges
Desal is Local and Reliable
California's dependence on water supplies imported from distant sources is not sustainable. Continued development of local water supplies is necessary for a secure future. Desalination and salinity management play a key role in these local solutions.

Now is the Time!
With more dry years surely on the horizon, there has never been a more important time to commit to locally produced desalinated water. Opponents of desalination are better funded and better organized. But not for long! Help us engage, level the playing field and make desalination a reality.

Dolphins DC: 'Wouldn't Trade Wake For Any Other Player'
The Miami Dolphins' switch to Defensive Coordinator Kevin Coyle's 4-3 defense was a success last season, due in no small part to a career year from Cameron Wake after switching from outside linebacker to defensive end.
Wake tallied a career-high 15 sacks and three forced fumbles, earning first-team All-Pro honors for the first time last season.
"I wouldn't trade Cam Wake for anybody in our league," Coyle recently told the Dolphins' official website. "He's a joy to coach. He works at it mentally, he's strong against the run, dynamic pass rusher, intelligent football player, can cover guys when we do put him into coverage. He's a guy that can run with backs, tight ends, shoot, he can run with some receivers out there. He's a dynamic player, and we're so fortunate to have him."

"My husband and I got married at the Amber House Bed and Breakfast garden area on 4/2/16 and it was wonderful. The venue was perfect for us as we wanted something simple, intimate, and accommodating. We were able to decorate the garden area as much as we wanted, used our own vendors, and had both the ceremony and the reception in the same area. The space was beautiful and really needed minimal decorations and it was also comfortable and child friendly. We used the caterer, Tanya, as suggested by Amber House and the food was amazing. We did a buffet style and were able to choose from a wide selection of options. The food was a hit and the portion sizes were very generous! Our guests especially enjoyed the sliders and chicken. Working with Vinita was very easy and she was extremely accommodating and available to answer any questions we had.

WICHITA FALLS - Phillip Boggs completed 28 of 37 passes for a school-record 429 yards and four touchdowns as Midwestern State rolled past West Texas A&M, 54-14, before 2,160 fans Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
The loss is WT's 14th in a row, dating back to last season. It leaves the Buffs 0-6 this year, including 0-2 in the Lone Star Conference South Division.
Midwestern, which improves to 4-3 overall and 1-1 in the LSC South, had 566 yards total offense, including 446 passing. The Indians averaged 7.3 yards per play, and converted 7 of 14 third-down situations.
Midwestern scored on 9 of its 13 possessions, including five of seven in the second half.
"Midwestern exploited our biggest weakness, which is lack of speed in the secondary," WT head coach Ronnie Jones said.
Buffs Stumble
Records: West Texas A&M is 0-6 overall, 0-2 in the LSC South Division; Midwestern is 4-3, 1-1.
Impact: The Buffs have now lost 14 straight over the past two seasons.
Key Stat: Midwestern quarterback Phillip Boggs threw for a school-record 429 yards with four touchdowns.
"Boggs had a terrific game, and their game-plan to throw the ball just wore us out.
"We don't have the speed to match up against their receivers, especially when the quarterback breaks containment."
The Indians led only 24-14 at halftime before pulling away in the second half. They scored 33 unanswered points after WT closed within 21-14 in the final 1 1/2minutes of the second quarter.
The Buffs moved the ball well at times. They ended the game with 341 yards total offense, averaging 4.6 yards per play. Quarterback Derek Maupin completed 20 of 37 passes for 218 yards, with Sirquon Hardy catching seven for 100 yards.
Maupin, in fact, completed four-straight passes for 38 yards on the Buffs' initial possession of the game. They moved from their 33 to the Midwestern 20 before Maupin fumbled on a fourth and one situation.
The Indians wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as they marched 80 yards in 11 plays. Boggs completed five passes for 53 yards during the drive, which was capped by Jerrold Fuqua's 5-yard run with 3:40 remaining in the first quarter.
WT tied the score at 7-7 early in the second quarter on a bizarre play.
The Buffs moved from their 13 to Midwestern's 12 before stalling. On fourth down, Jacob Felton was sent in to attempt a 32-yard field goal.
The snap from center was low, and holder Rick Leach alertly picked up the ball. He got it to Felton, who in turn threw a 15-yard scoring pass to tight end James Kraham with 12:15 remaining before halftime.
However, the Indians countered with a six-play, 64-yard scoring drive to take the lead for good. The TD came on a 5-yard pass from Boggs to Terrance Moore.
Two possessions later, Midwestern went 60 yards in eight plays following a 15-yard punt by WT's Chad Kennedy.
Boggs scored on a 4-yard run with 2:32 remaining in the half for a 21-7 advantage.
The Buffs countered that with aneight-play, 80-yard scoring drive to close within 21-14. Maupin completed five passes for 51 yards along the way. The payoff came on a 10-yard run by Chase Allen.
Following a short kickoff, the Indians moved from their 44 to WT's 14. Jerry Holstrom kicked a 31-yard field goal with only two seconds showing on the clock to make it a 10-point margin at the break.
The second half was all Midwestern.
After missing a 38-yard field goal attempt on their initial possession of the third quarter, the Indians scored on the next three for a 44-14 lead heading into the final period.
All three TDs were through the air. Boggs threw a 27-yarder to Andre Kelsick, a 56-yarder to Terrance Jefferson and another one to Jefferson from 13 yards out.
In six games this season, the Buffs have been outscored 232-56, including 122-6 in the second half.
WT will return home to face Texas A&M-Commerce at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium.

Neko Case kills art contest, gets into it on Twitter
I noticed something in my Twitter stream late last night. Singer-songwriter Neko case was getting into it with artists and designers.
From what I can gather from the long string of tweets, Neko had invited artists and designers to create a poster for her upcoming "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" tour to support her new album. The winner would get $1,000 prize and Neko, a visual artist herself, would end up working directly with the winner. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Reviews for Florida Keys Youth Sports Foundation

The FKYSF is one of the best organizations in the Keys. Their dedication to our kids is evident in their tireless efforts to bring programs to our children to keep them active and healthy. My kids have literally grown up on their basketball courts. Their recent efforts last summer in organizing a festival benefiting both our local schools only goes to show their community-wide commitment to our kids in all the Upper Keys. I look forward to many more years with this organization. Scott and Amy Stoky, along with their fantastic group of volunteers, should be highly commended. I thank them, and the whole community must share in this gratitude.

The FKYSF provides various opportunities for the children in the Florida Keys to participate in athletic activities. When school funding was cut, the foundation paired with the Upper Keys schools to raise over $22,000 so that the schools could continue to offer children athletics. This partnership also served to strengthen the interaction between the schools in other areas. The Foundation was very generous with their time, energy, resources and materials to help with a program that times may compete with their own sporting events.

Found in both residential and commercial enterprises, heating and cooling system is one of the complex systems you can find a home or business enterprise. However, with many companies involved in the HVAC market, many consumers find it a challenge to hire a reliable expert in heating and cooling industry. Experts suggest that before you engage heating & cooling contractors in Central Minnesota, it is advisable to research the service providers in your area and identify a reliable company that can meet your needs. So how do you do that?
Experts in HVAC service should be well trained and experienced to deal with potential safety issues that are common with heating and cooling systems. The contractor you hire should know how to work with electricity, natural gas systems, and even cooling systems that use toxic refrigerants. In the end, a reliable HVAC expert has a job to ensure that your home is comfortable, air quality is better, and the overall safety of your home is improved. When you are faced with the decision to hire heating & cooling contractors in Central Minnesota, consider these steps to land a reliable expert in the industry.
A reliable HVAC expert should have adequate experience to enable him to deal with different situations in the field. In most states, the law requires that each contractor engaged in the industry should have between two and five years of experience with HVAC systems. Great experience enables a technician to gain a full understanding of how heating and cooling systems work as well as how to operate them. Therefore, if you are looking for suitable heating & cooling contractors in Central Minnesota, you need to give the experience the first priority in your selection.
Check Licenses
Licensing is an integral part of heating & cooling contractors in St. Augusta MN. A company without a valid license means the company operates illegally and should not work in that area. When you are hiring, you should ask to see their valid license and even separate licenses he holds. For example, the contractor should have separate plumbing license that enables him to install plumbing systems to supply natural gas or other elements of heating and cooling.
Questions to Ask
Before you hire heating & cooling contractors in St. Joseph MN, it is important to get right answers to specific questions. In addition to the contractor being licensed and insured, you need to ask for references to confirm the credibility of the contractor. You can get references from online reviews about the contractor. If they were satisfied with the service, they will recommend the contractor to other customers. From references, you should ask about estimates. Reliable companies provide quality services at affordable prices. Therefore, compare quotes from different companies and select one that offers the best estimates based on what you can afford. Another aspect to probe before you engage heating & cooling contractors in St. Stephen is their familiarity with your HVAC system. A contractor with adequate knowledge about your system can provide the best services. Along with the estimate comes payment schedule, which is another important part of the contract.
Before you sign the service contract, consider the above points and you will be safe with contractors in Minnesota.

Solutions for Chapter X
Many social issues are now characterized as being global in nature because of the changing perceptions of what now constitutes an issue that requires intervention. With the increased presence of technology, research, watchdog organizations, and media, much attention and information is available to quickly identify adverse events. Also governmental and societal interdependence has connected scores of people together that would not have been associated in previous periods of history. Hence social issues may no longer be confined to one geographical location, and may actually affect populations transnationally.
Due to the formation of a global culture and the progressive standardization of global affairs and issues of human life, a problem within one location essentially becomes a problem within another place. For example human rights and gender inequality problems in one nation draws attention to the importance of these issues, which further prompts improvements in other states. Advocacy for specific issues on the global platform promotes the importance of those issues globally, with specific action taken within every state.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 2
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 2 News Release: NY 124
March 27, 2001
Contact: Chester J. Fultz
Phone: 212-337-2319
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Omega Wire, Inc., Route 13, Williamstown, New York, and proposed penalties of $78,000 against the firm for four alleged repeat violations, 16 alleged serious violations, and three alleged other-than-serious violations of OSHA standards. The company has until April 13 to contest the citations.
According to OSHA area director Diane Brayden, the action results from an investigation conducted from October 30 through February 23 following an accident at the plant, in which an employee was seriously injured when her hair became entangled in a wire buncher.
The alleged serious violations for which the employer was cited included:
- failure to guard a rotating die holder on a wire buncher;
- failure to assess the need for personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection;
- failure to provide proper gloves and eye protection when employees were working with caustic chemicals;
- failure to provide a written respirator program, medical exams, and fit tests for employees who were required to wear respirators as part of their job;
- failure to provide handrails on stairs;
- failure to label clearly the controller for a 3 ton hoist;
- failure to provide guards on saws, projecting shaft ends of drive motors, projecting keys on rotating shafts, and other machines;
- failure to adequately guard electrical parts.
The serious violations carry a total proposed penalty of $35,500.
OSHA also cited the employer for failure to provide strain relief on electrical cords, to guard openings on electrical circuit breaker panels, to provide emergency eyewash facilities, and failure to determine the capacity of lifting devices, four alleged repeat violations carrying a total proposed penalty of $37,700.
A repeat violation is one for which an employer has been previously cited for the same or a substantially similar condition and the citation has become a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Omega Wire was previously cited for these conditions at a plant in Jordan, New York in October, 1999.
The firm was also cited for failing to adequately maintain the required log of injuries and illnesses, failure to label circuit breakers for what they controlled, and failure to repair damaged insulation on an electrical cord, three alleged other-than-serious violations.
A serious violation is defined as a condition which exists where there is a substantial possibility that death or serious physical harm can result. An other-than-serious violation is a hazardous condition that would probably not cause death or serious physical harm but would have a direct and immediate relationship to the safety and health of employees.
The investigation was conducted by OSHA's Syracuse area office, located at 3300 Vickery Road, North Syracuse, New York, telephone (315) 451-0808.

Sparkling Pomegranate Margarita
But this year, I decided that there was absolutely nothing wrong with popping that cork earlier in the evening. I was in the mood for margaritas, actually. I'd received some samples of Partida tequila and was eager to give them a try. So, I thought, why not combine the two?
Though all of the varieties were nice for their own reasons, I was drawn towards the Añejo to use in the margaritas for its nose of cherries and dried fruit with undertones of chocolate. It would make the perfect partner for the bold pomegranate and silky Licor 43.
Sparkling Pomegranate Margaritas
by Heather Schmitt-Gonzalez
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: n/a
Keywords: beverage dairy-free nut-free soy-free vegan pomegranate tequila limes New Year Cinco de Mayo Christmas Mexican
Ingredients (2 cocktails)
- 2 fluid ounces pomegranate juice
- 2 fluid ounces Partida Añejo tequila (or your favorite)
- 1 fluid ounce Licor 43
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- sparkling wine
- coarse salt
- ice
- pomegranate arils
- lime slices
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice. Add pomegranate juice, tequila, Licor 43, and lime juice; shake until cold.
Dip the rim of two glasses into some water or lime juice, then into coarse salt. Add a couple of ice cubes to the glass, then strain the margarita over the ice into the glass, leaving an inch of space in the glass. Top off with sparkling wine.
Garnish with a lime slice and some pomegranate arils, if you wish.
I like this margarita as-is, but if you want something sweeter, add a little agave nectar or simple syrup to taste while shaking.
I received some sample bottles of Partida Tequila at no charge, but was not compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.

Once you have your article(s) what process to you follow to maximize each one?
Send to your opt-in list, post on site, submit to aritlce sites?
Looking for ways to maximize the impact of each article I have had written for my site(s). Obviously getting into google news would be nice but any syndication/pick-ups to expand it's reach and also provide crawlable links to my site.
Thanks to all for your help in this and previous questions.
Each article I create has a purpose. Perhaps it's for article submission, perhaps it's for a website, or perhaps it's for something else.
I don't use the same article for two different main purposes. For instance, I wouldn't take an article and add it to a site of mine and then submit it to article submission sites.

International investors lap up €2.5bn Irish syndicated bond issue
Ireland on Tuesday unveiled its maiden syndicated bond offering since the indebted country's €67.5bn rescue by the European Union and International Monetary Fund in 2010, with the €2.5bn, five-year issue getting oversubscribed three times.
Amid emerging signs of an economic recovery in the Republic, over 200 institutional investors scrambled for the bonds, with non-Irish lenders accounting for 87% of the debt, Ireland's National Treasury Management Agency said.
The overwhelming demand for its bond issue enabled Dublin to raise €500m more than originally scheduled, and that too, at a lower-than-expected interest rate of 3.316% - down from the effective 5.2% Ireland had to pay for similar securities last July. Barclays advised Dublin on the fundraising.
Separately, the European Stability Mechanism, the eurozone's long-term bailout fund, on Tuesday sold €1.927bn of treasury bills, receiving solid demand in its first short-term debt auction. The new ESM bills, which had a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.2, offered an average yield of minus 0.0324%, Bundesbank said.
Earlier in the day, Japanese finance minister Taro Aso said that his government planned to buy "some ESM bonds" using its foreign exchange reserves, as it "monitors progress in efforts to stabilise the European situation". Japan has been an active investor in the single-currency bloc's temporary rescue fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, since the EFSF's first bond sale two years ago.
Meanwhile, official figures released on Tuesday by Eurostat showed that the unemployment rate in the eurozone rose to a new high of 11.8% in November, with the number of jobless workers in the struggling 17-member bloc increasing to 18.8 million. Across the wider EU, the unemployment rate remained at 10.7%, the same as in October, but up from 10% a year ago, it emerged.
The news came as Ireland's deputy prime minister, Eamon Gilmore, warned that the UK's potential exit from the EU is now the "big" political "challenge" facing the continent.

State solicitor challenges 'retirement at 65' ruling
Published 24/01/2001 | 00:11
THE state solicitor for north Kildare and parts of north Wicklow and south Dublin told the High Court yesterday he believed he was entitled to continue in the position until he was 70, provided he was medically fit to do so. The State is insisting he leaves the service at age 65 as a matter of public policy.
Charles E Coonan, who is challenging Attorney General Michael McDowell's decision not to continue his appointment beyond January 31 next, told Miss Justice Mella Carroll he satisfactorily carried out his functions since his appointment to the post in 1974 and there had been no dispute about this.
He expected to continue in the position after 65 years, on a year-by-year basis until age 70, subject to evidence of good health.
But when he spoke to former chief state solicitor, Michael Buckley about this expectation, he was told he could not continue. Later he spoke to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr James Hamilton; and the AG, Mr McDowell about his position. The DPP told him there was a new policy on the retirement of state solicitors at age 65 in a bid to give younger people an opportunity to do the job.
Mr McDowell thanked him for his years of service but said he could not continue because of the new policy. But four other cases of state solicitors having contracts extended beyond 65 years were mentioned.
He was informed by the AG that although he was 65 on November 30 last, he was being given a two month extension to January 31, 2001. Mr McDowell said this was the best he could do for him.
As a state solicitor, he received no pension and could only expect a modest gratuity of around £19,000 to £20,000 based on his years of service.
Mr Colm Condon SC, for Mr Coonan, said the AG was denying any entitlement by his client to continue his employment with the State until 70 and was insisting the retirement age was 65.
It was claimed by the defence, he added, that the decision to retire all state solicitors at 65 as a matter of public policy was taken by former AG David Byrne now an EU Commissioner and continued by Mr McDowell who became AG in July, 1999.
Mr Louis Dockery, chief state solicitor for 15 years up to February, 1993, said his understanding and recollection was that all State Solicitors who reached 65 and who applied for an extension of their contract, provided they were able to furnish certificates of good health, received these extensions without exception.
Although it was the AG who appointed State Solicitors, he (witness) in speaking to all new appointees informed them that all who applied for extensions beyond 65 received them.
Mr Michael D Murray, Limerick State Solicitor and President of the State Solicitors Association, said up to recently the procedure was that custom and practice was to renew contracts on an annual basis up to 70 years.
Both the AG and the DPP who were in court for most yesterday's proceedings are expected to give evidence today.
