Occasion/Theme: Winter
- 2.5" Smoothfoam ball
- Pencil
- Two 5/8" black buttons
- Three 3/8" pink buttons
- 30 yds red worsted weight wool
- 10 yds green worsted weight wool
- Four #7 / 4.5mm double pointed knitting needles

- Clover needle felting matt
- Clover needle felting needle
- Clover needle felting claw
- Orange roving
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Fine grit sandpaper
- Knit the hat. Cast on 30 stitches. Divide them evenly across three needles. Join the circle and add a stitch marker. Knit in the round for 2 inches, beginning and ending each round at the stitch marker. Begin the decrease round - K1 and then K2tog. Repeat this sequence until you finish the round. Knit the next round. On the final round, K2tog all the way around ending with a K1. Cut the yarn leaving a 4" tail. Thread the tapestry needle with the tail. Run the tail through the final 7 stitches on your needles and remove the needles. Pull the tail until the top cinches and closes. Weave in the tail on the inside of the hat. Weave all other ends.
- Make a pom-pom. Make a pom-pom following the instructions for the pom-pom maker. Sew or knot the pom-pom onto the top of the hat.
- Make a felted carrot nose. Pull off a small bit of roving about the size of a quarter. Roll it in your hands until a loose egg shape is formed. Place it on the needle felting mat. Felt the tip with the felting needle occasionally rotating the roving. Hold it in place as you work with the claw to avoid stabbing your fingers. Work on felting the wider end of the carrot. Your finished felted carrot will be approximately 3/4" in length and about 3/8" in diameter at the widest part.
- Make the face: Sand away any ridges on the ball. Take the pencil tip and push the pencil half way into the ball. Remove the pencil and turn it around, pushing it into the ball from the eraser end. Use hot glue to attach the eyes, nose and mouth.

Historical Traveler Reviews NH Palermo
Jolly Hotel
Very nice hotel with plenty of amenities. The location was very good for sightseeing. Found the restaurant and housekeeping staffs to be very attentive and pleasant. The hotel desk staff was rude and at times, incompetent. The desk staff needs a course in Customer Service.
Good Location
Have just spent 1 night at Jolly Hotel Palermo. Compared to other destinations in Sicily the parking facilities were excellent. Hotel is very easy to find in a somewhat manic city. Rooms had a lovely view out over the bay. Busy road outside did not disrupt sleep as the hotel is set back. Courtesy bus offered by hotel is good facility for those that need it to the centre of commerial district. We walked to all the main sites within 20 minutes of the hotel. Good value for money.
A really nice reasonable standard Hotel
The hotel stands slightly back from the sea front, and is next to a busy road. What you have to remember is Palermo is a very busy place full stop, and no hotel is in a quiet spot! Rooms were clean, and tidy, with all the essentials, mini bar, hair drier, toilettries, sat tv. The staff were helpful and friendly. There is an hourly shuttle bus into the centre which is very useful. It drops you off right in the middle of Palermo, with very easy access to places of interest, and some quality shopping. You must check out the bar and resturant next door, in a converted palace/castle dating back to the 1300, very good measures of drinks, and an unusual setting for this brilliant resturant.
Unsatisfactory stay
We stayed at the Jolly, Palermo, Dec. 3,4,5 and 11, 2004. On three occassions I requested the front desk to allow me to use the lobby phone to make credit card calls. Each time they said that phone would not allow me to do that, even though I had placed numerous similar calls at other Jolly Hotels on our stay on the island. Finally, on my last night at the hotel, they agreed to switch the phone on. For the most part the attitude at the front desk was defensive, uncaring or at least not helpful. When asked for a map of the surrounding area, the response was we don't have that. The food in the dining room was "poor" and well below that of other hotels we had the occassion to eat at. I will not stay there again in the future.
Bay of Palermo
we have just come back (one week) and i'm missing palermo and that wicked sun Mmmm!
The Jolly hotel has the most suptious views from the balcony but be sure to ask for a view of the bay. I was awake at roughly 5:45am each morning and every morning was awesome as the sun shone off the sea. Small fishing boats could be seen in the bay before the big liner would come into vew, possibly from Naples (apparantly this is a great way to come into palermo)
Besides the view :-) the rest of the hotel is reasonable but the pool is just great lots of room to sunbathe and the pool is large enough to get a good swim i just loved it.
Breakfast was again reasonable but i found there was a shortage of some things such as parma ham or salami which i had to ask for the plate to be refilled which the staff did immediately. Breakfast was much better at our last stopover in jolly hotel Lecco.
The staff again were reasonable with some understanding of English although there were hardly any smiles which was a shame. Although the older gentleman behind the bar did say hello and smiled (i think this was when he witnessed my depression after England lost to Portugal)
Free news papers were always on hand but ivariabley this was la republica and it was difficult to get your hands on an enlish newspaper that wasnt missing half of its content yet still charged at extortionate rates.
There are lots of eateries around the hotel and if you can use a smattering of italian the people in the cafes were generally very helpful and it is great to take your food and drink outside and know that it will be relaxing...there are a couple of lovely parks just across the road from the jolly where you can sit and eat etc and we found this to be absolutely relaxing in the sun and then moving to the shade.
There were downsides to the trip which i would like to return to later as i havent got much time left so if i may i will return
until then buon giorno and buon sera
Great location
I thought this hotel was great. It was located right by the ocean and just next door was a really cool old grainery where my friends and I went for drinks and a bite to eat; very posh place. Be careful though; no one spoke any English there! No complaints about the hotel or its service.
A long way short of 4 stars
At the time of writing, there are only three Trip Advisor reviews and the ratings vary. We were there two months ago and would agree with the two negative reviews. We had a tiny room, the same dirt was behind the bathroom door every day, the bathroom tiles were dirty, the furnishings suggest the rooms were last decorated in the early 1970s, it is located on the edge of town, the airconditioner was not working - the full list of inadequacies would be very long. And how mean they are - they leave ONE chocolate on the pillow in double rooms. On the positive side, the breakfast was excellent, as were the dinners.
I can understand the good review, though, because there is one wing of the hotel which is modern, and the rooms we saw in passing looked spacious and nicely appointed. If you decide to stay at this hotel, make sure you get one of the rooms in the modernised wing
Great Hotel
An excellent hotel in the old city. People , Food, sites were excellent as was staff. Total client satisfaction and whatever you desire. Will visit again someday. A trip into the old world Italy . My wife and I were truely impressed.
Basic Chain Hotel
Basic chain hotel, in a relatively good location. Service is basic and profunctory--although they handled a power blackout during our stay well. Staff is not that helpful and the beds are hard.
Very disappointed
After spending a week touring rome, florence and venice I flew to Palermo and the Jolly Hotel. I do not recommend Palermo as a tourist destination. The hotel accomodations were not in the same category as the 4**** hotels I stayed at in those cities. The location was reminiscent of an industrial/commercial neighborhood. The room decor was very outdated. The shower curtain was moldy and dirty. The air conditioning was not adequate. The room telephone was not equipped for touch tone, therefore was unable to use a phone card or credit card to make calls. Though our original plans were to spend a few days in Palermo, we flew out in less than 24 hours from our arrival.

We left Trapani at 10 AM on Friday by bus retracing the route back to Palermo arriving about noon. After checking into the hotel and having lunch we attacked the city by Hop on Hop off bus! Palermo has done a pretty good job of mixing the old with the new. Much of the historical area remains intact while a new modern city has expanded outside. It's pretty chaotic in the narrow old streets, many now of which have been closed to traffic. ...

ODENSE (Denmark): Liew Daren's Denmark Open campaign suffered a premature ending after he was forced to retire from his first round match against India's P. Kashyap with a swollen left foot on Wednesday.
World No. 16 Daren lasted only eight minutes when he conceded a walkover while trailing 4-11.
Daren's French Open title defence next week is now at risk.
"I really don't know what happened to my foot. I woke up this morning and it was badly swollen," said Daren.
"I was fine during the practice sessions the past two days and I certainly did not twist my ankle.
"There is no infection as well and I don't think there's any allergy involved.
"It's definitely disappointing to exit this way ... I don't even know if I can compete in next week's French Open."
Kashyap who will go on to face either home favourite Jan O Jorgensen or Japan's Takuma Ueda, admitted that it would have been nicer to get more time on court.

It was a really good meeting today. Very inspiring.
I had an unrealistic hope of making it to goal this week, but fell a little short. I am down 0.6 with exactly 1 lb to go. Hopefully I'll get there next week or the week after.
Hope everyone had a great week and has a good week next too!

Reasons To Regularly Track Your Business' File System Activity
Some employers are hesitant to monitor activity on employees' user names due to privacy concerns. However, file system activity auditing can be an important part of a business's IT security plan for several reasons. Here are some of the most important causes for tracking activity on your servers. Better IT Support File access logs can be a great tool for your IT team in case a server goes down or a software feature isn't working correctly. They let the team know which files have been updated or moved recently, and which files your employees were using at the time of a crash. These helpful diagnostic clues are most useful if you're tracking them all along, so setting up a monitoring system ahead of time is helpful. Tracking for Data Breaches Another benefit of monitoring activity is that you may be able to detect when a data breach is occurring. If a certain set of files is being accessed in an unusual way, such as a large number of times in a short time period, then you may have a breach on your hands. If you turn this data over to your IT team, they will be better able to track and prevent these breaches from occurring. Root Out Bad Employee Behavior Yes, data tracking can also be used to uncover bad employee behavior. Whether employees are accessing files they are not supposed to or using the computers for their own personal motives, it's important to find these activities out in order to stop the drain on employee productivity and to keep your servers up and running without lag-time. If you make it a policy to regularly do file system activity auditing, it can act as a great deterrent to keep employees from bad habits in the first place. In other words, you don't need to arouse suspicion in employees if you make it a matter of protocol to check activity every few months. It's Easy to Set Up With advances in technology, setting up an activity tracking system is fairly easy. Some models of operating systems have tracking tools already in place that let you keep track of when a file was opened. There are also many third party software systems that can help you keep track of these files in convenient graphic forms. Speak to an IT professional about your options for data activity monitoring so that you can take advantage of these business benefits. Go to websites like this one to learn more about activity...read more
What to Look For When Buying iPhone Insurance
Are you thinking about switching over to an iPhone or upgrading to a newer iPhone model? If so, you have likely thought about buying insurance for your new phone. If you have plans to shop for a third-party insurance policy for your phone, then there are a few things to consider before selecting an insurance company. To ensure your new iPhone is protected, you will want to seek a policy that offers these things: Lost or Stolen Phone Coverage Many phone companies may offer coverage for lost or stolen phones. Though there may be an added fee for this coverage it is definitely worth investing into, as this can save you from having to pay the full retail price for a new, replacement phone. So, when searching for coverage for your new iPhone, definitely seek one that offers coverage for this sort of issue. Screen Damage Repair The front of your iPhone is practically one big touch screen. This means if your phone were to fall, there is a great chance that your screen will become cracked or damage, which can prevent your phone from being operational. Because this a likely event, it is important to seek coverage that will allow you to receive a free screen or one at very little cost. This will help you to keep your iPhone without having to pay top dollar for a brand new screen, which can be very expensive if you have to obtain one directly from the manufacturer. Low Deductibles Some phone insurance companies may have a premium charge when it comes to their deductible rates. This can be very confusing, as you may need to spend close to the retail cost of your phone just to use your insurance coverage, which can sometimes make sense. But to ensure you are not stuck having to pay close to retail price to utilize your coverage, definitely be sure to find a phone coverage that has very low deductible rates. This will allow you to pay a fraction of what your phone cost so you can receive a new one or obtain repairs without paying almost as much as a new phone. With these benefits and coverages, you will be able to improve your investment on your new iPhone and avoid having to worry about paying out of pocket for a brand new phone if your current one becomes damaged, lost, or defective. So, before you purchase your iPhone insurance, definitely be sure to seek a provider that offers coverage for the aforementioned...read more
Computer Problems? Remote Repair May Be the Answer
Consumers today rely on a variety of electronic devices each day. Few devices play as central a role in the lives of American consumers than computers. Whether you have a laptop or a desktop, maintaining your equipment is essential when it comes to performance. If you have been having computer problems, then investing in a remote repair service may be beneficial. Here are three reasons why you should consider hiring a remote technician to make the necessary repairs your computer needs. 1. A remote technician allows you to schedule repairs when it's convenient for you. Between your employment and family responsibilities, it can be difficult to carve out time in the day to take your computer to a repair shop. Taking time off work to complete this task isn't an option for many workers, and your lunch hour might not be long enough to accommodate running an errand. When you invest in remote repair services, a technician can access your computer any time, day or night. This gives you the opportunity to schedule your computer repairs at a time that is convenient for you, rather than having to rearrange your schedule to accommodate a repair shop. 2. Remote repair services can be more affordable. Statistics show that roughly a third of Americans have no emergency money in their savings account. If finances are a concern in your household, paying for much needed computer repairs could require you to take money from somewhere else in your budget. Choosing to invest in remote repair services can help you save money on your computer repairs. With local technicians you will pay for a lot of non-service time because you will be paying for the time it takes a technician to drive to and from your home. Since remote technicians don't have to physically travel to your home, you eliminate non-service travel expenses. 3. Remote repair services can help keep your family safe. Whenever you invite a service technician into your home, you run the risk of becoming the victim of a crime. Repair technicians are often complete strangers, and protecting your family can be difficult when you invite someone whose background is unknown to you into your home. Remote technicians access your computer from a remote location using specialized software programs. This means the technician never physically enters your home, ensuring the safety of your family. Keeping your computer equipment working properly is important. By investing in remote computer repair services, you make contracting computer repairs more convenient, reduce the cost of needed repairs, and prevent a stranger from entering your...read more
3 Tips For Managing A Home Equity Line Of Credit
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is an easy way to gain funds when you need them, but if you mismanage your HELOC you can end up in debt with nothing to show for it. Don't confuse a HELOC with a home equity loan; with a loan you borrow a lump sum and pay it back over a set time period with a fixed interest rate, while a HELOC can be thought of more like a credit card, where you have a certain amount of credit available to be used for a fixed amount of years. Use the following tips to ensure that you manage your HELOC wisely: Don't Use Your HELOC for Frivolous Purchases During the recent housing bubble, many homeowners found the amount of equity in their home skyrocket, and a lot of people immediately applied for a HELOC. Unfortunately, many people used the available funds to purchase things such boats, big televisions, and cars, or to fund gambling or vacations. You are allowed to spend the money from your HELOC any way you wish, but using it frivolously will just put you in to debt with nothing to show for it. A smarter way to use your HELOC is to pay off credit cards that have a high interest rate, or to make improvements to your home that add value and will have a good rate of return on your investment. Make Sure You Understand How Payments on a HELOC Work Coming into a large line of credit via a HELOC can be exciting, but it is essential to understand how your payments will work so you can plan and budget accordingly. Typically, you will be required to make small, interest-only payments during the years that the HELOC is open. At the end of the HELOC term, the account will close, and you will be responsible for paying off the principal in a set amount of years. Interest rates fluctuate according to market conditions, but they are typically lower than the interest rates of a home equity loan. If you want to save money on interest, plan on making more than the minimum payment due while the line of credit is open so the principal goes down. Utilize Home Equity Line of Credit Software There are many home equity line of credit software programs on the market that can make it incredibly easy to manage your HELOC. These programs automatically audit your HELOC to ensure that the bank's computer does not make any errors; all you have to do is input a few pieces of information from your loan statement, and the software will do the rest. Many line of credit software programs also track interest rates, show how you can pay off your HELOC sooner, and provide a break down of the true cost of your...read more

A noted business consultant identifies the benefits and pitfalls of three popular leadership styles.
The top five leaders most admired by the world's business executives are Winston Churchill, Steve Jobs, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Jack Welch. That's according to the 2013 Global CEO Survey conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
What are the most-admired leadership qualities? They include having a strong vision, being motivational, caring, innovative, persistent and ethical. These results tell you a lot about what it takes to be a strong business leader in today's rapidly changing global marketplace.
The survey respondents cited a broad range of qualities to describe the same individual leaders, which shows they recognize today's leaders need a combination of strengths. Contemporary leaders must have a high CQ—change intelligence quotient.
Today's marketplace is in a state of constant change. Successful companies are those that can also respond and quickly adapt to the changes around them. That requires leaders who are able to lead with the head, by focusing on the big-picture goal and business objectives; the heart, by knowing how to engage, coach and motivate people; and with the hands, by providing the tactical tools and skills necessary like a project manager.
Not all leaders embody an even blend of all three. People tend to be stronger in one or two of these areas and weaker in the others. You need to identify your weak areas and work on strengthening them.
To do that, you must ask yourself: "Are you a head, heart or hands leader?" What follows are three of the seven CQ leadership styles; an analysis of their strengths and weaknesses; and a coaching suggestion for each.
The coach (heart-dominant)
Coaching advice for this leadership style: Make connections with people, but also connect them with the mission. Don't allow engagement to take precedence over performance.
The visionary (head-dominant)
Coaching advice for this leadership style: It's vital that all those working to make something happen share the same vision. Remember to share your vision with others (heart) and lay out a path to that vision that incorporates visible milestones along the way (hands).
The executor (hands-dominant)
Coaching advice for this leadership style: Expand your definition of "execution." Engage people by making a compelling case for change so you'll have their support, and take time-outs periodically to evaluate your goals and strategies.
Most leaders are not all head, all hands or all heart. Most are some combination of the three, which is why there are seven change leader styles. Even leaders who have all three in seemingly equal measures have to watch out for some pitfalls.
The point isn't to fundamentally change who you are, but rather to embrace your strengths, shore up your blind spots, and adapt your styles to be more effective when leading across a variety of different people and situations. By building your CQ, you can simultaneously become more powerful to help your team and organization. You can also help make yourself less stressed and frustrated. And you will more consistently exemplify the pivotal leadership qualities CEOs most admire.

I just got back from Walmart, in El Paso TX. What happened there disturbed me. I went to Sporting Goods, picked up 2 boxes of ammo, and paid for it. A couple associates were discussing that stores new policy on ammunition. I am a quick reader and caught a line and what it said. Then I asked if it said what I thought it said, they allowed me to read the memo and here is what it said (quotes are actual lines from the memo): "Any Mexican looking individual who wants to purchase ammunition from Walmart must show proof of citizenship for more than 3 months." This is ethnic profiling and racial profiling all wrapped up in one big ball of wrong! Hopefully just this store has instituted this horrible policy, and it can be corrected immediately. By the way, no one asked for my ID.

Kentucky hadn't ended back-to-back seasons with bowl wins since 1951-52, but the Wildcats pulled off the feat in Nashville one year after surprising Clemson, coached by Bowden's son, Tommy.
Bobby Bowden has led the Seminoles to 26 bowls in a row and two national titles, but his December bowl record finally has its first blemish (7-1-1). Bowden is major college football's winningest coach with 373 victories.
Florida State was three dozen players short because of injuries and suspensions stemming from an academic cheating scandal.
Woodson capitalized on the missing depth and finished the season with 40 touchdown passes, breaking Tim Couch's school- record 37 set in 1998. It was the 19th consecutive game with at least 200 passing yards and a touchdown for Woodson, a senior who may be among the first quarterbacks taken in the NFL Draft.
The Wildcats took the lead for good midway through the third quarter on Woodson's 2-yard slant to Rafael Little, who gained 126 yards on 26 carries.

Township government plays a critical role in the future development of a community. I am honored to be a member of such a productive team in Comstock Township. The Township Board and staff is made up of individuals who worked together to develop and implement decisions in the best interest of the people. By working as a team, Comstock Township was able to encourage residential, retail, commercial and industrial growth thereby providing Comstock with a more diverse and robust tax base. This in itself improved the economic vitality of our community.
An increased revenue stream will allow the Township to better serve all individuals and business by developing and delivering enhanced services. We have all benefited from a more effective and efficient use of tax revenue which enabled the Township to have curbside rubbish collection and partner with the Land Bank to demolish unsafe building structures allowing these sites to be reutilized in a more safe and efficient way.
The Township Board recently adopted a Superintendent form of government. Under this form of governance, the Township residents will still be able to select the Board members who develop, approve and establish Township policies. Only the administrative responsibility of the Township rests with the Superintendent, who is appointed by and reports to the entire Township Board.
Ann Nieuwenhuis, Township Supervisor
The Supervisor is frequently the first official contacted about any business and/or complaint related to the Township, and is often perceived as the township spokesperson. It must be realized, however, that the authority of the Supervisor is limited to that provided by statute or delegated by the township board. As the township supervisor, he/she must manage the Township affairs by supervising the diverse departments that are responsible for meeting the needs of the township citizens.

William Blum: What is it that makes young men, reasonably well educated, in good health and nice looking, with long lives ahead of them, use powerful explosives to murder complete strangers because of political beliefs? I'm speaking about American military personnel of course, on the ground, in the air, or directing drones from an office in Nevada.
Fantasies of Male Chivalry Ignore the History of Women in Wartime
Heather Marie Stur: The debate over women in combat is about gender roles — what is appropriate for men and women to do in wartime. It is also about symbolism — what the American soldier symbolizes about U.S. power and military strength.
Fighting Religious Tyranny in the U.S. Military
Sharon Kyle: Mikey Weinstein established The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, dedicated to ensuring that all members of the United States Armed Forces fully receive the Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.
Friday Feedback: Veterans — The War After the War
Friday Feedback: Providing basic housing for veterans suffering from severe mental illness is the least we can do for the sacrifices they've made.
Remembering the 70th Anniversary of WWII
Mario Rivas: The VA now estimates 10% of the 16 million veterans that served in WWII are still alive. The VA also estimates that between 2015 and 2021 more than 650,000 will die.
A Growing Civilian-Military Gap, and its Consequences
Mary L. Dudziak: As Americans become more isolated from the costs of war, military engagement no longer seems to require the support of the American people. Their disengagement does not limit the reach of American military action, but enables its expansion.
GOP Debates: Shock and Aww Two More This Week!?
Tina Dupuy: You know what's never been said? "We should have MORE Republican primary debates." Why? Because there are (by my count) 734,589 debates this election cycle and not enough hours in the day (spent working harder for less money) to watch eight Republican candidates stand around agreeing with each other for two hours every night.
"Occupy LA" Takes a Step
Dick Price: The mood was both festive and earnest, with one third the crowd chronicling the proceedings with their cameras, the second third looking for a bit of shade on a warmish Los Angeles afternoon, and the rest holding a disparate array of mostly hand-painted protest signs.
Don't Be a Chicken: Go for the Defense Budget!
Steve Ybarra: Now that Boner blinked, all this talk about the budget got me to thinking, just how much money do we spend on military bases, where are they, and what difference do they make to the average American?
Jumpstarting Returning Veterans into Firefighting Careers
State legislation that would provide returning Iraq, Afghanistan and other veterans exclusive opportunities to become state-certified firefighters has received the endorsement of the chair of the Veteran's Caucus of the California Democratic Party.
A Hotel, A Phone Number, and a Song
Michael Sigman: But while New York — and the nation — are obsessed about whether a certain cultural center should go up in lower Manhattan, few noticed that the Penn Plaza plan will bring down the legendary Hotel Pennsylvania.
The Vast TV Wasteland
Brent Budowsky: This wasteland is worsened by waves of negative campaign advertising paid for by partisans and special interests, and by many TV "commentators" who repeat the mudslinging and spin instead of the serious discussions voters and viewers hunger for.
Only Road to Budget Reduction: Across-the-Board Cuts
Ivan Eland: Weapons purchases are often welfare projects doled out to congressional districts and states with political clout. In fact, unlike in the commercial market, defense contractors don't give subcontracts to the best subcontractors but spread them around the country to build political support, so that it is very difficult to kill weapons programs.

Theatre Unchained pays bent homage to Williams in 'Durang Durang'
Next year's Milwaukee theater season includes an In Tandem Theatre production of "The Glass Menagerie" with Angela Iaonne and a rare production of "Camino Real" from Dale Gutzman's Off the Wall Theatre.
But if you can't wait until then for a helping of Tennessee Williams, Theatre Unchained is offering a bent preview of what's to come, as seen through the fun house mirror known as Christopher Durang. »Read Full Article

Needless to say, I don't have to look any further! Avenue Eyecare has the latest (and coolest!) technology to assess eyes. Dr. Tung even emailed me the pictures he took of my eye! He listened to my needs and I found a stellar pair of glasses which are light and durable in his shop. He continued to give me excellent care when I had an eye infection and when my new prescription was bothering me. He truly does care!
Check Avenue Eyecare out - you won't need to search for an optometrist anymore, trust me!

Streamline payment processing and reduce risk
Payment management, the critical process of creating and processing cash payments, continues to be a source of frustration for investment managers. The wire process is often tedious, error-prone and time-consuming, requiring manual input to satisfy the demands of various brokers and custodians, each with their own set of formats and requirements.
At first glance, automation via proprietary gateways can appear to be a cost effective solution, however as the number of brokers continues to grow, so does the overhead. According to the SWIFT association, each proprietary gateway costs investment managers an average of $35,000 in maintenance each year.
CashWire Payment Management System offers a true straight through processing (STP) alternative to existing manual processes and proprietary broker or custodian portals.

College football has quite a few positions that can make the difference between a good game and a blowout. A weak secondary is no match for a great quarterback, and a weak linebacking corps is no match for a stellar running back.
No matter what your team's roster looks like, the most important positions make up the backfield: the quarterback and running backs. Without solid play from these folks, your offensive line is useless.
You can protect someone all day long, but he eventually has to run, pass or hand the ball off in order to make a play. Whether it's a tailback or the quarterback who is making the play, someone from the backfield needs to keep the defense on its heels.
From stellar quarterbacks to quarterback/tailback tandems, here are the nation's 25 best backfields entering 2013. Our criteria:
- The equation used here was (quarterback rating + rusher ranking points + Final AP position points) times the conference strength multiplier.
- The top 50 rushers from 2012 that are returning in 2013 were given points: 50 to the No. 1 rusher all the way down to one point awarded to the No. 50 rusher.
- All player rankings were obtained from the "Complete Leaders" links on this ESPN stats page.
- The final AP rankings were treated the same, with 25 points going to No. 1 and one point going to the No. 25.
- Conference power rankings were taken from here, which led to these conference strength multipliers: SEC = 1.3, Big 12 = 1.25, Pac-12 = 1.2, ACC = 1.15, Big Ten = 1.1, Big East = 1.05 and all other conferences received a multiplier of 1.
