BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Prosecutors in Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial rested their case Monday after calling the mother of one of his alleged victims, who told the jury she thought it was unusual her son's underwear was frequently missing from the laundry.
The woman also said the former Penn State assistant football coach contacted her son to be a character reference for him after the first round of charges were filed against him in November.
The woman said her son would claim he had thrown away his underwear because he had an accident. Last week, the teen said Sandusky forced him to have anal sex that made him bleed, but he'd "dealt with it."
"I always wondered why he never had any underwear in the laundry," she said. "There was never any underwear, any socks … that was odd to me."
The woman was the last of 21 witnesses presented by prosecutors in five days of testimony.
Sandusky's attorneys immediately called their first witness, former Penn State assistant Dick Anderson, who had sat behind Sandusky during opening statements last week.
Also Monday, prosecutors withdrew one count against Sandusky, saying the statute he was charged under did not apply at the time of the alleged illegal contact.
That leaves 51 counts involving 10 alleged victims over a 15-year span. Sandusky, whose November arrest led to the ouster of Penn State's president and the firing of Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno, has denied wrongdoing.
The gripping and sometimes graphic testimony by prosecution witnesses included details about gifts and trips to Penn State games that prosecutors sought to tie to escalating physical contact that started out as harmless affection and morphed into forced sex acts.
Defense attorneys have gotten approval to argue that letters and other acts of alleged grooming by Sandusky are evidence of a personality disorder.
Jurors have already heard Sandusky deny the abuse allegations, in the form of an audio recording of a stilted television interview Sandusky conducted shortly after his November arrest.
The defense has sought to show how the stories of accusers have changed over time, that they were prodded and coached by investigators and prosecutors, that some are motivated to lie by the hopes of a civil lawsuit jackpot, and to paint Sandusky's interactions with children as misunderstood and part of a lifelong effort to help, not victimize, them.
In a recent court filing, Sandusky's lawyers have asked the judge to allow them to put before jurors the out-of-court statements made by former Penn State President Graham Spanier and Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, two university administrators who are fighting criminal charges they lied to the Sandusky grand jury and did not properly report suspected child abuse. If permitted, that could help Sandusky undercut the credibility of a witness who says he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a yet-unidentified boy in a team shower more than a decade ago. The judge has not ruled on the request.
During cross-examination, Amendola pressed the accusers for dates and locations, details of their involvement with the kids' charity Sandusky founded, arrests or drug problems, contacts they had with Sandusky in the years since the alleged abuse ended and the terms of representation deals with civil lawyers. At least six said they told incorrect or incomplete stories in early contacts with police, and three testified that some of the details only came back to them in recent years.
During jury selection Sandusky's lawyers asked potential jurors about ties to a list of people who might be witnesses, including members of Paterno's family and Dottie Sandusky. It is unclear, however, which of them will take the stand.

To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit www.caninelifeline.org to submit an online application.
Emily is a sweet and loving 5 year-old Beagle/Doxie mix female who was adopted from us four years ago along with her brother Eddie. They were recently returned to us because their family's circumstances had changed and they were no longer able to care for them. Sadly, she came back to us very overweight. Emily weighs about 37 pounds but needs to get down to 20 pounds to be at her ideal weight. She is going to have to lose about 50% of her body weight to get back into shape. Emily is now on a strict diet and eating Natural Balance Fat Dogs dry food (a bag will go home with her upon adoption). She needs a new home where her family will commit to getting her back to a healthy weight with a combination of lots of walking and a low calorie diet. Emily is crate-trained and likely to be housetrained too. She walks nicely on a leash and is eager to lose the extra weight so she can start living her life to the fullest and have the energy to take part in lots of fun adventures. Emily can be particular about her dog friends so would probably be fine as the only dog in the home. She doesn't seem to be especially attached to Eddie so they do not need to be adopted together. She loves her human friends and is very affectionate with them, doling out lots of kisses. Her adoption fee is $200. She's spayed, heartworm negative and on monthly preventative, up to date on vaccinations, wormed, on flea preventative, and microchipped. All Canine Lifeline adoptions come with a two-week trial period to make sure it's a great match before the adoption is finalized. Please email email@example.com if you're interested in Emily. An approved application is required before we schedule meets with any of our dogs. All of our dogs come to us from county dog pounds so we have no history on them. We also have no foster homes with young children so aren't comfortable placing any of them in a home with children less than 4-5 years of age. We try to respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours so if you haven't heard from us within that time frame, please check your junkmail or spam folder to make sure our reply hasn't landed in there. Please visit our website at www.caninelifeline.org to see more photos of Emily and to submit an online application.
Please visit http://www.caninelifeline.org/2015/adoption-process/ for more information about our adoption process and to submit an online application.
Thank You!

Skip to comments.Must Fundraising Be So "In Your Face" Around Here? (Vanity)
Posted on 12/18/2002 5:16:23 AM PST by Glenn
Okay. We get it. You need money to run the joint.
You have your quarterly fundraisers and they seemed to be working out.
Must you put VisaMasterCardDiscoverAmericanExpress logos all over the place now as well?
It cheapens the joint.
Thanks for your input.
You want to be known as a grumpy old man????
Like DRUDGE?
Yes. It's "in my face". It's branding and advertising for VisaMasterCardDiscoverAmericanExpress.
Do you mean to tell me the people in charge couldn't come up with something a little less tacky? Something a little less "commercial"? Let's add PayPal, c2it and Amazon while we're at it, shall we?
I know several Freepers that have never donated. Two have turned gay and one now just sits at home and licks his computer monitor screen while a photo of Sean Penn displays on the screen. Not that there is anything wrong with this but just in case you have never donated keep all this in mind.
Somebody call the whhaaambulance, please....
They attacked me this morning, stole my wallet and went on a joyride in my car. They drained my bank account and plucked all my roosters. They sullied my grandmother's reputation by making porn films using her likeness. They invited Amway people into my home. They danced on my toothbrush and bashed in my Christmas tins.
Hope this helps.
Pick up any magazine and newspaper and see that at least 50% of them are covered in advertising. I was just reading WIRED magazine the other night and the first 60 pages was probably 90% advertising. In all, there is probably 30 pages of text in a 200 page magazine.
Turn on the radio to the Rush Limbaugh Show (or any talk show) and notice that 15-18 minutes, or nearly 30% of each hour, is saturated with advertising. Ditto for the TV, if you watch it.
Free Republic is one of the few places where you can come to read about current events without getting pummelled by advertising. And you have the gall to complain about a few tiny credit card icons and a few fundraising threads every quarter (that you are free to ignore)?
If you aren't just putting us on or just trying to rile us up, then you are pretty pathetic.
Zo. Zis is how ve find out, in centre of whine thread. Vere you sinking dat ve vood not read zis? Names and coordinates, pliz. Zey vill vish zey had donatet, I assure you. Ze eefil credit card logos haf done zere job.

Buss, Kalamazoo, Mich., and Theodore Vermeulen, Berkeley, Calif., assignors to The Regents of the University of California No Drawing. Filed July 26, 1967, Ser. No. 656,000 Int. Cl. C08l? 27/00; (308 1/30 US. Cl. 260-25 18 Claims ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to an improved process for preparing formylated aromatic-containing polymers and to certain novel crosslinked, formylated swellable aromaticcontaining polymers which are especially suitable as intermediates for reaction with amino acids in the synthesis of optically active amine-containing sorbents.
Although the direct formylation of various aromaticcontaining monomers with dichloromethyl methyl ether has been reported, previous efforts to prepare formylated polymers have required exotic synthesis techniques. For example, a linear polyformylstyrene has been prepared by the reaction sequence of polystyrene to polyiodostyrene to polylithiumstyrene to poly(lithium-dimethylaminomethoxide styrene) to polyformylstyrene; see Makromolekulare Chemie 44/46, 269280 (1961). Attempts to synthesize swellable formylated polymers from formylated monomers have not proven successful, as crosslinking also occurs at the formyl sites. This not only prevents further reaction at these sites, but produces a polymer containing excessive crosslinking. Furthermore, direct formylation of crosslinked aromatic polymers was not previously considered. The ot-chloroa-methoxymethyl group would be expected to crosslink the resin matrix to such an extent that swelling would be significantly impaired. The formyl groups would not be attached within the polymer beads and/ or formyl sites would not be accessible for further reaction.
It has now been found that formylated aromatic polymers, exhibiting swelling characteristics that provide reactive sites for subsequent bonding of stereospecific centers thereto, can be prepared directly from preexisting crosslinked aromatic-containing polymers. This is accomplished by first swelling the desired polymer in a solvent such as methylene chloride. Thereafter the polymer is treated with a dihalomethyl alkyl ether such as 05,0C-dichloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of a Friedel- Crafts catalyst such as stannic chloride and hydrolyzed to produce the formylated aromatic polymer. It has been found that a single formyl group can be bonded to substantially all the aromatic rings in the polymer without producing a detrimental increase in the degree of crosslinking present. Certain formylated swellable copolymers, produced by the process herein described, constitute inventive subject matter in this application in addition to the process of formylating the aromatic-containing polymers.
The present invention is of particular value as the novel cross-linked, formylated, aromatic-containing polymers are especially suitable, because of their swelling 3,594,333 Patented July 20, 1971 characteristics, in the synthesis of optically active aminecontaining sorbents by reaction with optically active amines such as amino acids (as set forth in greater detail in copending US. patent application, Ser. No. 656,077, filed concurrently herewith on July 26, 1967.
Although it is not intended for the invention to be limited to any specific theoretical concept, it appears that a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction occurs between the swellable aromatic-containing polymer, dihalomethyl alkyl ether, and Friedel-Crafts reagent producing a reaction product that can be easily hydrolyzed to provide the desired formylated copolymer. The addition of a a-chloro-a-methoxymethyl group, apparently at the para position, seems to chemically deactivate further alkylation of the aromatic rings.
The following reaction equations, depicting the use of a,u-dichloromethyl methyl ether, are thought to be representative H 011300012 catalyst r 1 CH -catalyst BOX 00111] (Ill OH catalyst 00113 0 ll 0-H OH CI catalyst The present process is applicable to the formylation of any expandable, i.e., swellable or porous, crosslinked aromatic-containing polymer. This is meant to include crosslinked copolymers formed from an aryl-olefin, preferably carbocyclic, and an addition-polymerizable aryl diolefin, wherein each of the aryl groups contains from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. Of particular significance are those crosslinked copolymers having aryl groups containing 6 annular carbon atoms. Furthermore, it is preferred that the olefinic group be bonded directly to an annular carbon. Polymers having additional substituents such as amino, chloro, and aliphatic groups bonded to annular carbons are also useful in this invention provided that the side chains do not interfere or cause a detrimental effect on the formylation reaction.
The amount of crosslinking initially present in the polymer should be limited so that the resin matrix will possess at least minimum swelling characteristics. By this is meant that the matrix should expand to enable formylation to occur more or less uniformly throughout the polymer. In this regard, polymers containing up to about 13-14% crosslinking have been found to be suitable for formylation by the process of this invention. Where an intractable matrix is treated, formylation of the outer aromatic rings provides few if any useable formyl groups, unless the resin has been given a porous structure with large internal surface. For convenience of illustration, the following disclosure will be directed to a non-porous resin copolymer formed from styrene and about 4% divinylbenzene. This crosslinked copolymer, commercially available under the trademark Dowex, has been found to be especially suitable for formylation as described herein.
Solvents which have been found to be suitable for pro viding at least the minimum swelling of the polymer include but are not limited to methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, carbon disulfide, nitrobenzene, nitromethane, nitroethane, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore dihalomethyl alkyl ethers, described infra, when employed in amounts in excess of that required to react with the polymer, may also provide the desired degree of swelling. The Friedel-Crafts alkylation catalysts which have been found to be advantageous are those that produce a mild reaction at standard conditions. However, stronger Friedel-Crafts catalyst may be employed where reaction conditions are maintained at lower temperatures. Those catalysts that are particularly advantageous include zinc chloride, titanium tetrachloride, stannic chloride, aluminum chloride, and the like.
Reactants which are suitable for the formylation of this invention include those dihalomethyl alkyl ethers which are defined by the following structural formula:
wherein R is an alkyl radical of from about 1-5 carbons, and the Xs are each a halogen having an atomic number of 17, 35 or 53. The preferred dihalomethyl alkyl is 11,11- dichloromethyl methyl ether.
In general, the process of this invention involves first subjecting the polymer to soaking with a solvent that produces a swelling of the crosslinked resin matrix. Solvent selection is particularly important as the polymer must expand sufiiciently to allow penetration of the reagent throughout the polymer to ensure substantially complete formylation. Simultaneously therewith or subsequent to the addition of the solvent, the formylating reagent and Friedel-Crafts catalyst are added. As set forth above, the formylating reagent may be employed in excess in place of the solvent to provide at least the minimum degree of swelling desired. Upon completion of the alkylation reaction, the resulting reaction product is hydrolyzed to produce the desired formylated polymer.
It is of primary importance that the matrix be swollen so that the formylation may occur more or less uniformly throughout the crosslinked polymer. Therefore, the minimum amount of solvent required will be that which is sufiicient to swell the polymer beads completely. Usually the solvent-to-ether ratio can be varied from about 3:1 to 12:1 without detrimentally affecting the reaction. A solvent-to-ether ratio of about 8:1 has been found to be particularly advantageous.
It is advantageous to employ stoichiometric amounts of resin, ether, and catalyst. However, to ensure a more complete formylation, the ether and catalyst may be utilized in modest excess, i.e. an amount such as 1.52.0 times that which is stoichiometrically required.
Although the process conditions are not critical to obtaining the desired formylated product, it will be apparent to those skilled in this art that the yield, i.e. extent of formylation, may be modified by varying the time, temperature, pressure, and amount of reagents. In addition, the size and shape of the individual copolymer beads may also affect the rate and uniformity of formylation.
To further illustrate the process of this invention, the following examples are provided. It should be understood that the details thereof are not to be regarded as limitations as they may be varied as will be understood by one skilled in this art.
EXAMPLE I There were placed in a 250 ml. of flask containing a magnetic stirring bar for mixing, 23.0 grams (0.21 mole) of 150-200 mesh polystyrene beads containing 4% divinylbenzene. One hundred fifty ml. of methylene chloride was added as an inert solvent to swell the polymer, along with ml. of stannic chloride (0.22 mole) as catalyst. Addition of 18.9 ml. of a,ot-dichloromethyl methyl ether (0.21 mole) initiated the evolution of gaseous HCl, and the polymer gradually turned a deep bloodred color. Initially some cooling was applied to hold the mixture under C. After one hour at atmospheric temperature and pressure, the reaction was stopped by cooling in an ice bath while gradually adding a 1:1 solution of dioxane and water, until no more heat was generated. The resulting mass wa grey-brown in color. The polymer beads were then filtered off, rinsed with a 5:411 solution of dioxane:water:12 N HCl, followed by dioxane, acetone, and methanol. Finally the product was air-dried on the filter for 12 hours with a yield of 27.0 g. and a concentration of 5.3 moles of formyl groups per gram of product. Under these conditions the styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer was converted to a formylated polymer to the extent of 67%. A longer reaction time of 2.5 hours produced conversion. Still greater reaction times produced substantially conversion.
EXAMPLE II TABLE I Relative volume of wet beads to dry beads (25 C.)
Formylated Untreated Solvent Benzene-methanol (1:1) Benzene i-Propanol l n-Propanol 1 Water 1 1 Measurements with these solvents were made on beads that were first swollen in CHCla. Using these solvents on dry beads did not give true ieadings, i.e. the matrix did not open up fully in reasonable length of ime.
Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, it is understood that certain changes and modifications may be practiced within the spirit of the invention as limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

The choreography of belonging : toothed whale spatial cohesion and acoustic communication
Macfarlane, Nicholas B. W.

To maintain the benefits of group membership, social animals need mechanisms to stay together and reunite if separated. This thesis explores the acoustic signals that dolphins use to overcome this challenge and mediate their complex relationships in a dynamic 3D environment. Bottlenose dolphins are the most extensively studied toothed whale, but research on acoustic behavior has been limited by an inability to identify the vocalizing individual or measure inter-animal distances in the wild. This thesis resolves these problems by simultaneously deploying acoustic tags on closely-associated pairs of known animals. These first reported deployments of acoustic tags on dolphins allowed me to characterize temporal patterns of vocal behavior on an individual level, uncovering large variation in vocal rates and inter-call waiting time between animals. Looking more specifically at signature whistles, a type of call often linked to cohesion, I found that when one animal produced its own signature whistle, its partner was more likely to respond with its own whistle. To better evaluate potential cohesion functions for signature whistles, I then modeled the probability of an animal producing a signature whistle at different times during a temporary separation and reunion from its partner. These data suggest that dolphins use signature whistles to signal a motivation to reunite and to confirm identity prior to rejoining their partner. To examine how cohesion is maintained during separations that do not include whistles, I then investigated whether dolphins could keep track of their partners by passively listening to conspecific echolocation clicks. Using a multi-pronged approach, I demonstrated that the passive detection range of echolocation clicks overlaps with the typical separation ranges of Sarasota mother-calf pairs and that the amount of time since an animal was last able to detect a click from its partner helped explain its probability of producing a signature whistle. Finally, this thesis developed a portable stereo camera system to study cohesion in situations where tagging is not possible. Integrating a GPS receiver, an attitude sensor and 3D stereo photogrammetry, the system rapidly positions multiple animals, grounding behavioral observations in quantitative metrics and characterizing fine-scale changes that might otherwise be missed.

Your credit report includes information about where you live, how you pay your bills, whether you've filed bankruptcy and what kind of debt you have.
It's important to check its accuracy because the score that comes from this information affects whether or not you can get a loan and how much you will end up paying in interest.
Finding misinformation can also help you discover cases of identity theft.
So you've accessed your free annual credit report and found an error for a missed payment (or any misinformation) that's negatively affecting your score – now what?
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), both the credit reporting companies (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian) and the credit provider (i.e. the credit card company or bank) are responsible for correcting incorrect information on your credit report.
1. Reach out to the credit reporting agencies.
Draft a dispute letter, making sure to clearly identify each incorrect item, state the facts of why you dispute each claim and request deletion or correction.
Make sure to only use copies, keeping the original documents for your records. You may even want to include a copy of your credit report with incorrect items circled to highlight your corrections.
"The credit bureaus now have
user-friendly online dispute systems."
Send all the information by certified mail and request a return receipt so you know when the agencies have received your information. They typically must investigate the items within 30 days.
To make things easier, all three of the credit bureaus now have user-friendly online dispute systems on their websites.
2. Reach out to the creditor/information provider.
Similar to the process above, send a dispute letter with copies of your documents by certified mail to the creditor.
Some companies have specific addresses for disputes. Request to be copied on correspondence between the creditor and the credit bureaus.
This process takes approximately 30 to 90 days and your dispute must be reported to the reporting agencies.

It is important for the U.S. to adopt a "collective narrative" regarding education, writes Katrina Stevens a long-time teacher, principal and district leader. She writes in this blog post that equity has been chosen in Finland, and in the U.S., "personalization" may be the key. Already, the emerging trends of differentiation, cultural responsiveness, technology tools and standards-based education appear to be taking the country in that direction, she writes.

Better Planning Through Business Analyticsby Nick Castellina
In past articles I've written here on arcplan's BI Blog, I explored the role of spreadsheets in the planning, budgeting, and forecasting process and the importance of agility and accuracy. Today I would like to talk about the benefits of business analytics in the planning process when it comes to providing agility and accuracy.
When forecasts are consistently accurate, business leaders can have more confidence when making decisions and investments to guide the organization, as they have a good idea of how the organization will perform in the coming months. Agility is essential because volatile markets make it difficult for forecasts to reflect current business conditions. Therefore, Best-in-Class organizations are more likely than All Others to implement technology to enable both data access and the ability to utilize data to make predictive decisions (Figure 1). Fifty percent (50%) of Best-in-Class organizations have implemented an enterprise-level BI solution in comparison to 28% of All Others. These tools provide data in an easily consumable format so employees can find and utilize the data they need to make decisions. The Best-in-Class are also over twice as likely as All Others to have implemented predictive analytics. This technology helps to convert BI data into forward-looking forecasts.

Providing Visibility & Agility: The Key Components of Success in Planning, Budgeting, and Forecastingby Nick Castellina
In my previous post, I discussed the role of spreadsheets in financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting. My key conclusion was that organizations need more substantial technology to facilitate these processes through automation. What I did not discuss was how these technologies provide greater visibility into the data that is essential for successful decision-making as well as the importance of utilizing this data to create forecasts that constantly reflect current business conditions. Today I would like to discuss these themes, but let's first take a step back to why they are important.
Aberdeen's 2013 Financial Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting survey illustrated the top pressures hindering planning processes (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Pressures in Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting
Source: Aberdeen Group, January 2013
Highlighting the importance of agility, organizations are pressured with volatile markets that make it extremely difficult to forecast effectively. This is compounded by the fact that 25% of organizations reported that their current budgeting process is too long and resource intensive. So organizations are spending all this time and effort, and by the time the planning process is complete, the output is already based on old data.
Don't Rely on Spreadsheets: Essential Tools for Planning, Budgeting, and Forecastingby Nick Castellina
In my role as the Senior Research Analyst in the Aberdeen Group's Business Planning and Execution research practice, I spend a significant amount of time studying the key pressures facing organizations in their planning processes as well as the key technologies that top performing organizations use. Unsurprisingly, I often get questions on the role of spreadsheets in the planning process. Spreadsheets continue to be a popular tool used in financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes. In fact, Aberdeen's 2013 Financial Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting Benchmark survey found that 89% of organizations use spreadsheets in the planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes. Employees are comfortable with spreadsheets because many of them use them in both their professional and personal lives. This familiarity makes it unsurprising that both top performing and Laggard organizations are employing them in some aspect of their financial planning process. This reliance may stay the norm for the foreseeable future and spreadsheets are likely to continue to be an integral part of the planning process.
Yet while the Best-in-Class may be using spreadsheets as a part of the planning process, they are less reliant on them as the sole means of communication and interaction, preferring to combine them with the use of applications (Figure 1). Being a repository of exported data is in fact the leading role spreadsheets play in top performing companies. As the methods in which spreadsheets are used become more manual, the Best-in-Class and the Laggards switch rankings…
Planning Visualizations: Forecasting Chartsby Dwight deVera
My series on planning visualizations has so far explained how to use the right chart types to tell your plan's story. Today I'll wrap up with a focus on using visualizations to show how your plan will hold up as the fiscal year progresses. The charts below display forecasts that are based off of 12-24 months of historical data used to predict future results.
Plan vs. Actual Spend: Bullet Visualization with Linear Regression
Good planners know that a plan shouldn't simply be created, approved and then left to rot on a shelf somewhere. Plans should be managed and updated throughout the year. Even the best plans require changes, especially when it looks like you might be getting off track.
Say you're a marketing director for a retailer and your fiscal year begins in January. In March, you're starting to wonder if there will be enough funds in the budget by September to do your holiday season advertising. There's a way to predict this information, even if you're only a few months into the fiscal year. A finance professional might run a linear regression and stick a table in Excel to show the progressions of the budget over time. But as a marketer, you're a visual person and might better understand a bullet chart. Plotting the actual data (in yellow) against the plan data (in gray), it's easy to see that marketing expenses were understated in the plan from the beginning, or you simply overspent early on and won't recover without making adjustments to spending. The red bars show just how far off spending will be vs. the plan if you don't take corrective action:
Planning Visualizations: Charts That Make Variances Easier to Understandby Dwight deVera
In my previous post on this topic, I covered why planning visualizations are important for an audience of planners without finance backgrounds: they prioritize content and separate the signal from the noise so planners know at a glance what areas of the plan need their attention. Today I'll underline the importance of using the right chart types to tell your plan's story. The idea is that visualizations should enable planners to prioritize the largest areas of their plans and see exactly what parts need adjustment, without forcing them to read anatomically correct financial statements or have a deep understanding of planning terminology.
Particularly, the term "variance" can be incredibly confusing to non-finance department heads who are tasked with managing budgets. Variances of actual spend compared to the budget are either positive or negative, indicating which direction the line item deviates from the plan. In general, being under budget is a positive variance, and being over budget is a negative variance. But things get weird when you're looking at expenses vs. income and it's hard for regular planners to make sense of it all. So the best way I can think of to help non-finance planners understand their plan performance better is to simply use terms like "favorable" and "unfavorable" instead of "positive" and "negative" (i.e. "you've got an unfavorable variance for airfare because of the unplanned training course in Las Vegas that your whole team attended") and to introduce planning visualizations that simplify complex concepts like variances.
Horizontal Bar Graph
A horizontal bar graph with red and green bars is an ideal visualization for a budget statement because it's straightforward and eliminates confusion. In the example here, the budget categories are prioritized from most unfavorable to most favorable. We see that relocation and airline expenses are the most unfavorable – they're the most over budget – and they are emphasized by being in red at the top of the graph. But reallocating funds from the most favorable categories – incentives and salary – can alleviate the problem. Incentives and salary are the most under budget; we've spent less than we've planned and there may be funds that can be moved to the relocation and airfare categories.
The horizontal bar graph visualization tells the story of which items are doing well, which items are doing poorly, and makes it obvious where adjustments can be made.

OOTB it runs after each deployment, The beast you can do is is to avoid CMS from running when unnecessary, you can turn off CMS after publishing and write a deployment listener to trigger CMS when needed (eg. if a sku/product/category is created or removed).
2. Re: Information Required About CMS Component.931522 Oct 3, 2012 11:16 AM (in response to Gautam Singh)Hi Gautam,
Can you please provide any code snippet or any reference for deployment listener.?
