My name is Derrick and I'm a tea addict.
I was introduced to Adagio and fine teas by my college-aged son. Now I can't stop drinking it.
I like Chinese green teas for the most part.
CanadaBlue wrote:What Greens do I like?
I've started with the flavored greens from Adagio - Apricot and Citron. They were good. I Tried the Casablanca Twist - not bad. Also got a green sampler. I didn't like the Genmai or the Hojicha.
I got a large tin of some nice tea from a relative that bought it in Hong Kong. Claims it's a 'famous tea' but I can't read them Chinese characters. Looks like a green tea - little balls of leaves that slowly unfurl with the second and third brewing, but the leaves have hints of brown on the edges. What could it be?

Deferring Canada Customs Duty and Taxes
The Canada Border Services Agency has a Duty Deferral Program to help Canadian business stay competitive by deferring duty and taxes on imported goods that will be eventually exported or will enter the Canadian economy at a later date.
Under the umbrella of this program are three sub programs.
Duties relief program – This is where duties and taxes are deferred on the understanding that the goods imported whether further manufactured or not will eventually be exported from Canada. No bond is necessary. If you qualify you can apply to be part of this program by completing an application form K90 linked here and mailing it in to your local CBSA office. You normally have 4 years to export the goods and you can also sell the goods before export to another company in Canada so long as they are also part of the program.
Drawback Program – Under this program you can apply for a drawback or refund on Canada Customs duty and taxes paid on goods that were imported that you eventually exported in the same condition, with minimal use, or further manufactured. There is also a waiver system where as part of the program one can apply for drawback on imported goods sourced from a local company. As per the CBSA" the program provides for drawbacks on consumable and expendable goods used in production processes, as well as scrap materials." Drawback claims can be made by submitting a completed form K23 and attaching supporting documents showing the goods qualify to your local CBSA office. Please note that claims must be made within 4 years of the date of importation and cannot be submitted prior to export of the goods which were imported.
Custom Bonded Warehouse Program – Directly from the CBSA website "A customs bonded warehouse is a facility operated by the private sector but regulated by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Through the Customs Bonded Warehouse Program, you may qualify for a complete deferral of customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duties and excise duties and taxes, including the goods and services tax and the harmonized sales tax. You only pay duties and taxes on the portion of goods entering the Canadian market. If you export goods, you don't have to pay any duties. While the goods are in the warehouse, they may undergo certain minor manipulations such as marking, labelling, testing, inspection, packaging, display, dilution, normal servicing and maintenance, grading, shorting, trimming, slitting or cutting and repackaging.
These programs are useful to your business if one of the following applies:
-you import goods into Canada for storage or minor manipulation;
-you consolidate imported and domestic goods for export or Canadian consumption;
-you import goods for display at conventions, exhibitions or trade shows and you export the goods after the event; and
-you are involved in facilitating the movement of goods into and out of the North American marketplace.
Applying to operate a customs bonded warehouse
To apply to become a customs bonded warehouse operator, complete Form E401, Application for a Licence to Operate a Customs Bonded Warehouse. The CBSA will review your application and schedule a visit to review the proposed site and your record-keeping system. As soon as the CBSA approves your application, you will be issued a unique customs bonded warehouse licence number.
Both residents and non-residents can apply to operate a customs bonded warehouse. You also have the option of contacting an existing warehouse operator to use his or her facility to take advantage of this program.
An annual licensing fee applies. If the CBSA identifies a need for security during the processing of your application, you may also have to post security based on the types of goods to be imported and your financial compliance profile.
Time limits
In most cases, you have to remove the goods you import under the Customs Bonded Warehouse Program within four years of the date they entered Canada. There are provisions for extending this time limit if the CBSA agrees that it is necessary.
From time to time, the CBSA will check if the imported goods have been removed from the warehouse and properly documented and accounted for. However, it is your responsibility to properly control all goods and immediately report any non-compliance."
Keep in mind that if you are a producer of goods that are exported to the United States or Mexico, you may be subject to restrictions under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). See Memorandum D7-4-3, NAFTA Requirements for Drawback and Duty Deferral (PDF, 56 KB), for more information.
To learn more about the Duty Deferral Program, visit the Canada Border Services Agency Web site or contact a trade compliance officer through the Border Information Service at 1-800-461-9999 for service in English and 1-800-959-2036 for service in French.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 22, 2009) – USA Volleyball has announced that Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) has been named its 2008 Men's Indoor Player of the Year.
Priddy, 31 and an eight-year veteran of the U.S. Men's National Team, helped the U.S. Men to one of their best season ever as they won gold medals at the Olympic Games, the FIVB World League and the NORCECA Men's Continental Olympic Qualifier.
The Olympic gold medal was the first for a U.S. Men's Team since 1988. The World League victory was the first ever for the United States.
"The thing Reid brought to the team was consistency in lots of phases of the game," said former U.S. Men's Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand). "Reid is able to dominate matches in lots of different ways. He was contributing in so many different areas. He had a wonderful year for us."
A 6-foot-5 outside hitter who was also a 2004 Olympian, Priddy completed the 2008 season tied with teammate Clay Stanley (Honolulu) as the team's leading scorer with 356 points, an average of 3.71 points per set. Priddy led the U.S. team in total kills with 282 or 2.94 kills per set.
At the Olympic Games, Priddy was the United States' second leading scorer and fourth overall with 112 points on 93 kills, 10 blocks and nine aces. His kill efficiency percentage of 30.1 put him 10th among all hitters. Priddy was fifth among servers with an average of 0.27 aces per set. He averaged 1.79 digs per set.
In the 2008 World League final round, Priddy tied for second overall in scoring with 63 points on 53 kills, six blocks and four aces. He was also the United States' leading scorer in pool play with 101 points on 82 kills, 10 blocks and nine aces.
This winter, Priddy is playing for Lokomotiv Novosibirsk in the Russian Super League.

Winders accepted into UT College of Law
Winders accepted into UT College of Law
Feb. 13, 2013
Contact: Mary Moates '14, Communications Assistant
865.981.8207; firstname.lastname@example.com
J. Zane Winders, a senior economics major at Maryville College, has been accepted into the University of Tennessee College of Law. He expects to complete requirements for graduation at the private liberal arts college in May 2013 and begin his studies at UT in fall 2013.
While at Maryville College, Winders has been advised by Dr. Sharon May, associate professor of economics, and completed an independent Senior Study under the guidance of Dr. Sherry Kasper, professor of economics.
One of the distinctive features of a Maryville education, the Senior Study requirement calls for students to complete a two-semester research and writing project that is guided by a faculty supervisor.
Winders' completed study is titled "The Property Ownership Decision: A Case Study of the United States." According to Kasper, Winders investigated which system of property ownership best promotes economic prosperity, private property being a crucial aspect of the legal foundations of both capitalism and socialism.
"Zane and I deliberately discussed possible topics for his Senior Study with his goal of attending law school in mind," Kasper said. "His ability to investigate both the benefits and costs of private and public ownership of property suggested to me that he possessed the willingness to look at both sides of issues, which is a quality essential for law students."
A student-athlete on the Scots' football team, Winders excelled as a wide receiver and was a leader on the field when the team claimed the 2012 USA South Football Championship.
Known for offering its students a rigorous and highly personal experience, Maryville College is a nationally ranked institution of higher learning that successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation in partnership with others. Founded in 1819, Maryville is the 12th oldest college in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA).
Winders is the son of Joey and Debby Winders of Maryville, Tenn. He graduated from Maryville High School in 2009.
Maryville College is ideally situated in Maryville, Tenn., between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville, the state's third largest city. Founded in 1819, it is the 12th oldest institution of higher learning in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Known for offering its students a rigorous and highly personal experience that includes an undergraduate research requirement, Maryville College is a nationally ranked institution of higher learning that successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation. Total enrollment for the fall 2016 semester is 1,197.

This is a very fun pool. A lot of fun, excitement, and smack talk for 30 bucks. We run three phases each season. Each phase lasts about 50 days and we take a couple week break between phases.
Here are the winners from the last four years:
2008 Phase I - Lead Pipe 21-9
2008 Phase II - Lead Pipe 23-7
2008 Phase III - Swerb 24-6
2009 Phase I - Bill Henry 22-8
2009 Phase II - Lead Pipe 23-6
2009 Phase III - Swerb 21-9
2010 Phase I - jjgmyers 22-8
2010 Phase II - jjgmyers 24-6
2010 Phase III - Earl 23-7
2011 Phase I - tpcatfox 21-9
2011 Phase II - Oatestache 21-9
2011 Phase III - tpcatfox 21-9
Phase I will last 51 days. Starts on opening day, Thursday, April 5 2012. Last day of selections will be Friday, May 25 2012.
The rules are simple. Pick one baseball team each night to simply win their game. You cannot pick the same team twice. And you have to select all 30 teams in baseball one time.
Contest lasts for 51 days. So seeing as how you need to pick every team in baseball one time and one time only, there will be 21 days you don't pick a game. Use those PASS days wisely when there is no strong selection amongst the teams you have left to use. All picks must be time stamped, in this thread, no later than the official start time of the game per MLB.com or else the pick is thrown out. While you don't have to post your picks until the start time of the game you are selecting (example: can post a pick for a 10:05 PM EST game at 10:01) ... you cannot change a posted pick once the days first game is underway. If your team is rained out, you get a PASS for that day and have to select that team for another game in the future.
The winner is the person with the most total wins after the Friday, May 25 games end. Winning % means nothing. Most total wins. If two people are tied at the end, and one is 22-8, and another is 22-7 (say due to a day #51 rainout) ... that is still a tie. Only category that means anything is total wins.
If everyone makes all their picks, each entrant will have picked exactly 30 games, each team in baseball one time, over a 51 day period. $30 per player, winner take all.
The tiebreaker, once we get there, and if we need it ... will be to pick the winners of every baseball game on the last day of the contest, Friday, May 25. And note - May 25 is both the final day of the first phase of the contest, AND the tiebreaker day. Any competitors who could potentially be involved in a tie will have to pick the winners of all 15 games that day. And also identify their final Pick 30 selection, if they still have one pick left to make. The second tiebreaker, if needed, is total runs scored by all the teams you selected to win in the final day tiebreaker. Third tiebreaker would be run differential.
Let me know if you're in.

Stock Futures Up on Strong China Trade Data; Apple Gains
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing to a higher open on Wall Street Thursday as overseas markets and commodities rose on fresh buying action triggered by upbeat China trade data in what is expected to be a relatively light day for macro and big earnings headlines.
The world's second largest economy reported a strong rebound in exports in December, which reached a seven-month high. Imports in the period rose at a rate that was double what was anticipated.
The China news offset data showing a rise in U.S. weekly initial jobless claims.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 47 points, or 47.49 points above fair value, at 13,372. Futures for the S&P 500 were up 7.75 points, or 7.98 points above fair value, at 1463. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 18.75 points, or 19.35 points above fair value, at 2740.
Apple(AAPL) CEO Tim Cook met with China Mobile's Chairman Xi Guohua on Thursday to discuss "matters of cooperation," according to Reuters.
Shares were popping more than 1.5%.
Earnings season will continue in earnest next week with many big-name bank earnings. Wells Fargo (WFC) will report this Friday.
Major U.S. stock averages recorded firm gains Wednesday after Alcoa(AA) ushered in the earnings season with stronger-than-expected revenue.
The Labor Department reported Thursday that initial jobless claims for the week ended Jan. 5 rose by 4,000 to 371,000, from the prior week's downwardly revised figure of 367,000. Economists were expecting claims to come in at 365,000
Continuing claims for the week ended Dec. 29 was at 3.109 million, a decrease of 127,000 from the preceding week's downwardly revised level of 3.236 million. On average, expectations were for continuing claims of 3.23 million.
The Census Bureau is forecast to say at 10 a.m. that wholesale inventories rose 0.3% in November after increasing 0.6% in October.
Overseas, the European Central Bank stood pat on interest rates for the sixth straight month Thursday, as expected. The Bank of England also met expectations by keeping interest rates unchanged.
After the ECB meeting, the central bank's president Mario Draghi was expected to be asked questions on the issue of negative deposit rates and the activation of the Outright Monetary Transactions bond-buying program.
Gold for February delivery was rising Thursday by $6.20 to $1,661.70 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while February crude oil contracts were up $1.30 at $94.40 a barrel.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was sliding by 4/32, raising the yield to 1.878%. The dollar was down 0.23%, according to the U.S. dollar index.
The FTSE 100 in London was up by 0.11%, while the DAX in Germany was up 0.20% Thursday.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed ahead by 0.59% and the Nikkei Average in Japan tacked on 0.70%.

When it comes to fashion, some people have natural talents: They've got their pulse on the latest trends, take successful style risks and assemble outfits the rest of us want to copy. Kristin Clark is setting an example for fashionistas in South Florida as the Simon Style Setter for the Town Center at Boca Raton. Clark writes about local trends and mall news on her style setter blog and maintains a personal fashion blog, Living in Color Print. We got her take on fall trends in SoFla and what it's like being a style setter.
How would you describe your personal style? Feminine, playful and, above all, full of color.
What are some essentials for a stylish Labor Day party outfit? A cute, playful sundress; wedges; and a crossbody bag are my go-to outfit essentials for Labor Day. This will translate perfectly for an outdoor backyard BBQ, a pool party or a rooftop soiree.
Name three fashion must-haves for fall in South Florida. A leather piece, whether it be a sleeveless peplum or skater skirt; chunky knits, perfectly paired with colored skinnies or textured leggings; and slouchy/harem pants, worn with tight fitted tops and tailored blazers.
What trends are on your radar this season? I'm excited for jewel-tone hues like emerald green and cranberry, classic black and white duos, and neutral color blocking for fall.
What do you think makes a person a style setter? I think a style setter is someone who's not afraid of fashion—not afraid to mix and match pieces and take things that may not be your normal item and make it into something that fits you and your personal style.

In the current downturn, various links in the supply chain are in tension as they struggle to maximize profit. When the cloud lifts, what shape will the system be in? It all depends on how companies are addressing their problems today.
The commercial aviation supply chain is under pressure from vigorous airline cost-cutting and low traffic demand. The various links in the chain are trying to cut costs yet expand their reach, although not always in ways that are best for the overall system. Aggressive outsourcing bids have reduced maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) margins, especially on the airframe side. Visibility into lower-tier suppliers is less than clear. And the top suppliers on new aircraft programs are flexing their muscles to the detriment, some say, of airlines and their MRO suppliers.
On the brighter side, MROs still have room to grow and opportunities to cut costs and improve performance. But closer alignment of goals with the airlines is necessary, according to industry analysts. And top suppliers may need to change their tack. Viewed as a new class of monopolists, the big component original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are driving up the cost of repair and overhaul even in the depths of the recession, according to some MROs. "Because it's a monopoly market... you have to purchase spare parts from the same guy, and also repairs," says Gunther Kruse, vice president of corporate purchasing for Lufthansa Technik (LHT). "Some people have a cash stream for over 15 years that's almost predictable for them." Even in a situation like the present, when "the passenger isn't there anymore, we still have to pay." It's mainly a question of the component manufacturers' price structure, he says.
The current crisis is putting pressure on inefficient business models. But it's also an opportunity to get things right, business consultants say. "Knocking 10 to 15 percent out of your cost base vs. 2 to 3 percent — that's the type of thing that will be required," says Chris Spafford, a partner with Oliver Wyman. Mark Ozenick, practice leader, aerospace & defense for the Thomas Group, agrees. Simple cost reductions should not be the sole part of one's strategy, he adds. Bad as it is, the "pink slip atmosphere" produces an openness to change that should be used to implement Lean or other efficiency initiatives.
Big Picture
At the center of the aftermarket supply chain are the MROs. The outlook for North American airframe MROs, given their current single-digit margins, is unpromising without major changes, according to Spafford. Although maintenance outsourcing by North American carriers has grown in recent years, aggressive cost-cutting demands have threatened the sustainability of mode of proceeding.
Spafford advocates changes, such as contract incentives, to the relationship between airlines and airframe MROs. Now contracts typically impose liquidated damages, or financial penalties, for holding a plane late, but there is no "carrot" for consistently delivering planes early, he says. If an MRO can consistently deliver planes early, so that an airline can plan around it, both sides should benefit financially from this alignment of goals. That would increase MROs' ability to invest in new equipment and strengthen their performance. Spafford argues that a mutually aligned relationship such as that between Lufthansa and LHT can be replicated between other companies.
Spafford also advocates component pools, where airlines get almost immediate cash infusions and MROs get a return on invested capital. This practice is common in Europe, and LHT has increased its parts pools, offering "the entire spectrum of parts down to consumables," says Kruse. Nevertheless, parts pooling is not common in North America because of insufficient investment, unique maintenance programs, lack of parts commonality and the reluctance of engineering groups to participate for reliability reasons, Spafford says.
MROs Vs. OEMs
Perhaps the greatest challenge in the commercial aviation supply chain, from an MRO perspective, is the realignment that has occurred between airframe and component OEMs. In the past, buyers of new Boeing and Airbus airplanes had access to data that allowed them or their MRO providers to maintain and overhaul components independently. But because of the airframers' rationalization of their supply chains, reducing the number of players, the airplane makers may have negotiated away the rights to component intellectual property (IP) in exchange for favorable upfront terms. So it's tougher for airlines and MROs to find the technical data to overhaul a component, making the process much more complex than it was in the past. While the IP shift may have accelerated new aircraft development and lowered purchase prices, it has come with a "sustained, longer-term cost by making it more difficult for MRO providers to perform some of their work," says Lon Chaney, TIMCO vice president for corporate planning and pricing.
LHT agrees. "Many suppliers are in fact monopolists [and] continuously expand their roles in the aftermarket," making relationships increasingly complex for MROs, Kruse says. "The liberty to make 'make or buy' decisions on parts repairs is more and more limited by [restricted] access to the required documentation," he adds.
This situation is at the root of "unjustified cost increases for our airline customers," Kruse says. LHT is trying to inject more competition into the supply chain through its parts manufacturer approval (PMA) and surplus activities. "We don't like the OEMs being in the repair business and they don't like us to be in the manufacturing business," Kruse says. But being part of an airline group gives LHT a "lever" to obtain necessary documentation for repairs, he says. "We are much better off than an independent."
TIMCO offers the example of overhauling a composite flight control, such as an elevator, to illustrate the IP problem. Previously, an MRO could get the data required to build test equipment or tooling, but "this is not always the case today," Chaney says. A provider can still do repairs, via the structural repair manual, without going back to the manufacturer. But an overhaul, where there might be a need to change the skin and have a form made, might not be possible because you don't have the IP. It would seem that some component OEMs don't want to sell MROs the data because they want to provide and control the overhaul services themselves, he suggests. "The real question for an airline is how do you find that happy medium, where you can buy a reasonably priced aircraft, but also safely and efficiently maintain it without finding out that the initial transaction drove a sky-high, long-term cost."
Kruse is calling for the adjustment of the "entire [component] pricing system in the industry." There are 15 to 20 big OEMs who are setting the pace of progress, he says. "They try to keep their margins at a constant level, whatever comes" and usually react to crises by reducing R&D investments. "There needs to be more of a balance in the industry, so that risk associated with transporting passengers and goods is distributed throughout the supply chain." But it's questionable whether there's enough pressure to force the component OEMs to adapt their structures and cost levels to what the airlines can afford, Kruse says.
LHT keeps close tabs on its suppliers, especially those that combine annual list price increases with bad overall performance, Kruse says. LHT meets with its top 15 or so suppliers — accounting for about half its purchasing volume — while monitoring smaller suppliers through "supply relationship managers." While LHT has "bonus/malus" (reward/penalty) systems in place, mainly for delivery performance, "more risk sharing along the supply chain" is in order, Kruse says.
Visibility into Tier 2 and lower-tier suppliers is also an issue. The "overnight" scarcity of raw materials used in engine blade coatings and quality problems with bearings in recent years are examples of problems that can arise, Kruse says. While LHT, as an MRO, "generally has very little visibility into this segment," he notes, "we are prepared to play a different role and actively challenge the OEMs for more transparency." LHT, for one thing, imposed penalties, so the OEMs "became very vigilant." And supply issues that were related to a raw materials price increase were lessened by the current economic crisis, which reduced demand. But the industry remains very sensitive to the performance of rather small partners in important parts of the supply chain, Kruse says.
Meeting the Challenge
Offshore sourcing is one way for MROs to cut costs. TIMCO, for example, the largest independent, third-party heavy maintenance supplier in North America, is doing this with a twist. Last year it formed a partnership with COOPESA in Costa Rica to provide a lower-cost alternative for North American (particularly U.S.) airlines that are using or seeking a Latin American solution. The partnership, which will provide airframe MRO services for narrowbody aircraft, could reduce labor costs by more than 20 percent on high-volume contracts, according to the company.
The unusual side of the deal, according to TIMCO, is that the American company will establish the contracts and provide management oversight, using onsite TIMCO employees. "One of the reasons a lot of airlines have been reluctant to explore sources of supply in Central America and points south has been the concern about quality," says Len Kamerski, TIMCO's vice president of marketing and business development. TIMCO is trying to show customers that this service will provide all the integrity they would expect from a North American source of supply, he says.
In the first phase of the partnership, TIMCO has worked with COOPESA to establish maintenance practices and protocols. "Lean initiatives, including extensive process mapping and waste reduction, have been implemented to increase efficiency and throughput," Chaney says. The companies have also installed a new fire suppression system and new hangar doors. The first customers are expected in coming months.
TIMCO has also expanded materials management service "every year for all types of operators," from low-cost to legacy, Chaney says. "If you're not providing a service enhancement, you're losing your competitiveness." Low-cost carriers (LCCs) have been outsourcing materials management for some time, but legacy carriers are increasingly moving in this direction as well. "The large operators now are turning much higher dollar volumes of purchases over to us," Chaney says. "In the case of a C-check, for example, there may be 30 components on an aircraft that have to be changed out and overhauled per a time limit," he adds. The carrier may provide a list of approved suppliers with whom they have pricing agreements, and TIMCO will find the best deal for these components, managing them "from aircraft to aircraft." These purchases generally include hydraulic and pneumatic components and larger structural components for controls such as elevators and ailerons. But most carriers prefer to handle wheels and brakes, landing gear, engines and avionics through their existing commodity contracts.
With legacy carriers, there's still a mix between external and internal control, Chaney says. Airlines use so much Skydrol in line maintenance, for example, that they prefer to provide the fluid themselves. The degree of outsourcing also varies with aircraft age. Some legacy operators with large, aging fleets are locked into insourcing, to a certain extent, because of their investments in test and overhaul equipment and large inventories at base and even line locations, he says. "On the line, operators that have outsourced work at a location seem generally to procure key items and safety stock, but will look to the provider to manage the inventories." But TIMCO is adding to its line maintenance portfolio and sees the area, along with line materials management, as a potential growth avenue. In the last year it has doubled the number of TIMCO-owned line service locations.
Distributor Side
Parts distributors are the bedrock of the supply system. One of the largest, Aviall, moves parts for some 230 suppliers. The Dallas-based company has parlayed its understanding of demand and its status as part of the Boeing brand to prosper even in the recession.
Aviall's business model and systems are built around creating forecasts and aggregating demand, says Ed Dolanski, senior vice president of operations. The ability to use historical data and "forward-looking statistics" in the market to consolidate demand and build an up to 18-month forecast of what parts are needed drives suppliers' risk virtually to nil, he claims. Forecasts are based on "solid orders" and are attuned to manufacturers' lead times. "So, if they produce it for our purchase order, I'll take it," Dolanski explains. Aviall boasts a 99.7 percent fill rate on forecasted parts across the company, he says. The company stocks more than 100,000 OEM parts worldwide.
Charles Elkins, senior managing director or marketing and supplier services for Aviall, helped lead an April 21 tour of the company's facility in Dallas, Texas.
Not surprisingly, Aviall directs 95 percent of its capital spend to maintain and enhance its IT capability. Its ability to predict demand cycles is particularly important to its engine support business, which typically involves engines in their "twilight years" of production or out of production. A recent exclusive deal on GE's CF34-3 engine provides Aviall the lifetime contract for the distribution of the system's unique, non-life-limited parts.
Aviall also has increased its responsibilities as a repair broker. Its new Part 145 operation receives parts from customers operating Boeing-built airplanes, classifies them and sends them out to qualified repair companies. On return, Aviall inspects the parts under the Boeing quality system, approves the repairs and forwards the parts to the customers. This service is run as an extension of Boeing's material management business. It could be a growth opportunity, if another airframer should seek similar service.
Software and Services
A variety of products and services are available to help manage the supply chain. For example, MCA Solutions provides service, planning and optimization software either through perpetual licenses or hosted service. The application focuses on functions such as the forecasting and positioning of parts, says Tim Andreae, senior vice president of global marketing. MCA numbers Rockwell Collins and Bombardier among its commercial aviation customers.
Rockwell Collins chose to purchase the software, which it uses as its primary aftermarket planning system, Andreae says. According to a "case study" on the Collins application, the avionics company cites features such as strategic inventory planning across a multi-tiered distribution network; forecasts, using historical demand, installed base and causal data; dynamic asset management; and "what-if " scenario planning. Collins uses the application at more than 27 locations, including a global distribution center, U.S. service centers, international subsidiary maintenance sites and mobile calibration vans. The software helps the firm manage the supply chain for more than 100,000 consumable materials and more than 5,000 repairable assets.
Exostar, an electronic data interchange (EDI)-type network connecting more than 40,000 companies — including aerospace giants — provides a portfolio of on-demand business applications for real-time visibility and other supply chain management functions. Much attention is also paid to security and identity assurance that would hold up legally, according to Peter Scott, vice president of supply chain solutions.
Boeing started using Exostar with the 787 four years ago in order to get visibility into Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. The software sends out alerts based on exception management. It allows users to add as many tiers as they want, although "Tier N visibility for everything is just not worth it," Scott says. Typically, you want visibility into your high-spend, long-lead time vendors. In the future, however, Exostar hopes to sign up Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, themselves, to provide them visibility into their supply chains.
Exostar allows visibility into key checkpoints in the supply chain, based on electronic documentation, such as advanced shipping notices. After manufacturers enter their schedules and suppliers concur, the "system simply bubbles up exceptions," Scott says. Users can also look at how much inventory is stocked at particular nodes or chart trends such as the percentage of suppliers that ship on time only 75 percent of the time. The Web-based "dashboard" can also be configured to provide performance reports.
The network further allows manufacturers and their supplier teams to form virtual working environments, where they can securely exchange documents, create project plans and have meetings, Scott says. BAE Systems, for example, uses the system for maintenance review boards in which U.S. and U.K. government agencies participate.
'Brute Force' Management
For industrial scale supplier visibility, there is DNBi Supply Management, a Web-based service from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) that allows parts users to monitor the financial, regulatory, legal (lawsuits, liens, judgments), geopolitical and other potential risk areas of suppliers down the chain. The system also looks at more conventional information such as order accuracy and on-time delivery, based on aggregated data. DNBi Supply Management helps aerospace and defense companies understand where they have suppliers at risk, explains Jim Lawton, D&B vice president and general manager for supply management solutions. A lot of customers, he says, have 50,000 suppliers but may have fewer and fewer employees managing them. How do they know which suppliers to focus their time on? DNBi relies on a financial database that tracks the fortunes of about 140 million companies worldwide, with about 1.5 million updates daily. The software uses predictive analytics and financial modeling to help a manufacturer, for example, identify which small subset of his 50,000 to 100,000 suppliers is at risk. Some customers get information feeds every six hours, based on information changes. D&B is good at predicting, Lawton says. "We project 92 percent of all U.S. bankruptcies at least six months in advance." In a majority of cases, he claims, one discovers a bankruptcy only after it occurs. If the item supplied by the at-risk company is vital to the customer's product or service, it is important to know of the supplier's weakness in advance. Otherwise extremely expensive, though very common strategies might have to be deployed, such as acquiring the supplier or paying all its bills, so it can continue operations. Extra time could give the user the opportunity to craft a less drastic form of intervention. Users can apply the D&B service to help select suppliers as well as monitor their health and performance. Clients can also receive email alerts and reports, dealing, for example, with suppliers by program, category or geography.

Compared to the roll on and gel that I sell in my office, the spray has quickly become my patients #1 choice. The menthol is almost 3x stronger, it feels cooler and lasts longer.
i always like using bio-freez its is very good quality and works like i should
Great stuff and great service!
My clients love BioFreeze but all the ones that tried the touchfree applicator tube came back complaining the sponge/foam fell off about half way thru the tube. We went back to carrying just the regular tube then. Why pay extra for something that's just going to fall off?
I've been using Biofreeze products in my practice for the past few years and . My patients seem to like it a lot.

Health care coordinator project draws praise
Commissioners hear report Tuesday
By Fritz Busch
Staff Writer
NEW ULM – Brown County commissioners will hear a report on the first six months of the new South County Health Alliance/New Ulm Medical Center (NUMC) health care coordinator position on Tuesday, May 28.
Brown County Family Services Director Tom Henderson said the project that includes Brown County on a non-funded basis, has enjoyed phenomenal success, according to the Request for Board Action (RBA).
"Three areas that are most striking about it are patients are given services that are most appropriate and successful using community resources, patient services and packages are cost effective for government, insurance and patient payers and the project is an early example of what the federal government is ultimately looking to do with payment for medical providers based on outcomes," Henderson wrote in the RBA.
He said the Minnesota Hospital Association recently presented NUMC with an Innovations Award for being a rural hospital in the program.
Commissioners will also:
Hear reports from South Country Health Alliance Executive Director Leota Lind and Children's Mental Health Local Advisory Committee member Doug Hazen.
Consider a Home and Community-Based Waiver Service Contract with Good Samaritan Society Home Care to improve service options and accessibility to Brown County clients.
Consider a two-year contract for a Registered Senior Nurse to serve about 30 chronically, mentally ill people in Brown County.
A $1,700 funding request for the Lutheran Social Services Financial Counseling Program. Brown County mortgage foreclosures are down 45 percent from 2011 to 2012 and it appears 2013 is going about the same as 2012, according to the RBA.
Consider two price quotes for a 40-inch television and digital signage appliance at a cost of $778j.66 plus up to $150 for installation costs, for use by family services in lobby areas to help explain to clients what South Country Health Alliance is and how to best use it.
Consider buying a new $63,167 Heartland Express bus under the 2013 MnDOT Cooperate Vehicle Procurement process. The county will be reimbursed 80% ($50,533.60) of approved capital costs. Brown County is responsible for 20% of the allowed contract amount ($12,633.40).
Four drainage ditch repair requests in North Star and Lake Hanska Townships.
Consider declaring a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with 134,758 miles sold on MinnBid on April 13, 2013 for $2,775 (minus MinnBid fees) and a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with 153,423 miles, sold on MinnBid for $1,525 on May 6, 2013 (Minus MinnBid fees) taken out of service, deemed surplus and excess property for disposal.
Consider purchasing a 2013 Triton ATV trailer for the sheriff's office from Miller Sellner Implement for $2,692.50 plus tax. Costs would be paid by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Off-Highway Vehicle grant funds.
The board meeting starts at 9 a.m., Tuesday, May 28 in the courthouse commissioner's room.
Fritz Busch can be e-mailed at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Californians Visit….Posted Wednesday, October 26, 2011, at 1:21 PM
You've heard of my friend Sharon of course. Sometimes we're glued at the hip. She visited several times this summer. The last time she came, she brought her nephew John and his girl friend, Jamie. They were visiting from California, so they were allll new to this type of life. So, off we went to the salt the calves! They were good sports, cuz ya know they had to lift the heavy bags and open and shut the gates...newbies ya know.
Do you see anything wrong with this picture???? Look closely
I am taking the picture from the other side of the gate. Which means, she is closing herself out! hahahahah Naturally, we let her do it, .... cuz that's how we roll
Then we let John the boyfriend go help her. And this picture is kind of hilarious to me. I've never seen it done this way, but whatever!
These Eagles were every where. Got a good shot of this one
After making folks work, we figure it's only fair to take them to the lake for a small boat ride. Of course they have to help get the boat out, and all. No freebies around here! yep, those are my wading boots
With several people goofing off in the boat, it gets a bit tippy. Jamie felt a need to show off and stand up for a bit of a stretch. I soooooo wanted to just jump out and leave them to their own devises, til I remember I had my "smart" phone in my pocket. It's not smart enough to swim safely, so I sat and endured the giggling
To really give them good memories, we made sure to show them wild life on the way back to the house. What we don't do for guests
And who doesn't love to see a baby of any kind?
I photograph everyone I get my hands on these days, and of course I throw them on a horse to boot! How beautiful is that?
John & Jamie Thanks for visiting!

i got this in the post from edinburgh chiapas solidarity group!
Bill, hiya!
I just wanted to say thanks on behalf of the whole group for the event at the Forest.
We thought it was a good day. We sold a bit more than £100 worth merchandise and we hope some people got a bit of information on the Zapatistas and on the Zap coffee.
We are now in touch again with Dan and the shop idea sounds good.
Thanks a lot again. See you around!
