November 12 Colorado Energy Cheat Sheet: Colorado hit hard by CPP; Bennet defends pro-Keystone stance; CSU report rejects "sky-is-falling" contamination claims

Colorado would be the 18th hardest hit state, and fourth most expensive for the cost of carbon reduction under the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan, according to a new report from Fitch Ratings:
Wide-ranging voices—in politics; in business; consumer advocates like our coalition—have been warning of the potentially crippling costs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's soon-to-be-implemented Clean Power Plan. Its ripple effects will be felt nationwide, and Colorado is by all indications squarely in harm's way.
As we have contended for some time now, the proposed federal mandate for air standards will impact every type of consumer—residential, small business, agricultural and industrial—in every community in Colorado. That includes consumers served by public utilities, municipal providers and rural cooperatives. And the changes to Colorado's statewide power generation contemplated by the EPA's mandates may ultimately cost many billions of dollars.
Rather than heed or, at least, consider some of these urgent concerns, however, defenders of the oncoming Juggernaut have sought in many cases to dismiss the criticism as coming from interests that are supposedly too close to the debate. Stakeholders involved in energy development of fossil fuels, for example, or power generation, are accused of having a vested interest and thus, presumably, are less than objective. Fairly or not, policy debates often turn on such considerations.
Well, now, another authoritative voice has entered the fray, and this time it is one without a discernible horse in the race. It is the voice of a truly neutral arbiter—one of the financial world's "big three" credit-rating agencies—and it is sounding the alarm on the Clean Power Plan.
Fitch Ratings' new report, "The Carbon Effect 2.0," released just weeks ago, raises troubling concerns about the impact of the Clean Power Plan on the financial stability of the nation's electric utilities. More troubling still, in the report's state-by-state assessment, Colorado is among those facing the most formidable challenges, and potentially steepest costs, in complying with the Draconian EPA rules.
Governor John Hickenlooper continues to maintain his position that Attorney General Cynthia Coffman should defer to the governor on the matter of the AG's lawsuit over the Clean Power Plan:
On his petition to the state Supreme Court to review Attorney General Cynthia Coffman's authority to sue over the federal Clean Power Plan:
"I think the way the system's meant, was designed, is that the governor and the attorney general should be consulting together on legal issues facing the state. But ultimately, the attorney general needs a client, and I think the governor was intended to be that voice, to speak for the agencies, the departments, to speak for the people. And I think if the attorney general and the governor don't agree, my reading and [that of] the lawyers in our office is that this was intended ultimately to be the governor's decision."
Hickenlooper filed the petition to the Colorado Supreme Court last week.
The eco-inquisition is here, and the practice of selling environmental indulgences won't be far behind:
Executives at publicly traded companies like Exxon Mobil may soon be talking more about climate change. Financial regulators are taking a closer look at how these companies disclose the impacts of climate change.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said Monday that Peabody Energy didn't tell its investors all the financial risks from climate change and potential regulation. Peabody Energy, which owns a mine in Colorado, admits no wrongdoing, but it says it will now make disclosures that accurately and objectively represent climate impacts.
Methane regulations touted as saving money for companies, say regulators and companies hired to find methane leaks:
"What that means to the industry is substantial lost revenues," he said.
He estimated that loss at about $1.2 billion a year even at today's low natural gas prices.
Methane also is a potent greenhouse gas, and typically leaks in combination with volatile organic compounds and other pollutants. With that in mind, Colorado's Air Quality Control Commission last year passed what's known as Regulation 7, imposing the nation's first rules specifically targeting methane emissions by the industry. Now the Environmental Protection Agency and Bureau of Land Management are considering rules targeting methane at the national level.
"Colorado … is the leader in the country on this issue by passing and enacting Regulation 7. We're paying real close attention to how that's going because there are several rulemakings on the federal level," Von Bargen said.
U.S. Senator Michael Bennet defended his pro-Keystone XL stance even as his party's leader, President Barack Obama, went the other way on the project last week:
Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet stood behind his vote earlier this year in favor of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline after the Obama administration rejected it on Friday after seven years of study and contentious debate.
"For years, the Keystone XL pipeline has been overhyped on both sides of the debate," Bennet said in a statement to The Colorado Statesman. "The number of jobs it would create and the amount of carbon emissions it would facilitate have both been exaggerated."
The proposed 1,200-mile pipeline would have transported 800,000 barrels of tar sands oil a day from Alberta, Canada, to Nebraska and ultimately on to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Bennet voted for a Senate bill approving the project in January.
"Based on scientific analyses that showed building Keystone XL would have little or no bearing on whether our nation will materially address climate change, I voted to move forward with the pipeline," Bennet added. "The president vetoed the bill that Congress passed and has now administratively rejected the project. This is an issue on which the president and I disagree."
A new CSU report concludes that, contrary to the popular line put forward by anti-fracking activists and other environmentalists, water-based contaminants from the fossil fuel industry aren't seeping into wells in northern Colorado:
A new Colorado State University report says there is no evidence water-based contaminants are seeping into drinking-water wells over a vast oil and gas field in northeast Colorado.
A series of studies, led by CSU civil and environmental engineer professor Ken Carlson, analyzed the impact of oil and gas drilling on groundwater in the 6,700-square-mile Denver-Julesburg Basin, which extends between Greeley and Colorado Springs and between Limon and the foothills.
The studies were done under the auspices of the Colorado Water Watch, a state-funded effort started last year for real-time groundwater monitoring in the DJ Basin. The basin shares space with more than 30,000 active or abandoned oil and natural gas wells, say CSU researchers.
They primarily looked at the 24,000 producing and 7,500 abandoned wells in the Wattenberg Field, which sits mainly in Weld County.
"We feel that our results add to our database of knowledge," Carlson said. "There isn't a chronic, the-sky-is-falling type of problem with water contamination."
Methane contamination was found in a small percentage of older wells, but according to the story, "it's not toxic and isn't a huge factor in terms of drinking-water safety."
Many of the most well-known National Parks in the western United States would violate the new 70 ppb ozone regulation finalized last month, with the most egregious violator located along the Colorado-Utah border:
But national parks are among the worst offenders, with one maintaining levels of more than 100 ppb.
The 26 offenders are mainly in the West, with only a handful in the East, where coal-fired power plants dot the landscape.
The biggest violator is Dinosaur National Monument, home to 1,500 dinosaur fossils and a popular white-water rafting destination on the Colorado-Utah border. Its ozone level is 114 ppb. The runner-up at 90 ppb is the 631-square-mile Sequoia National Park in Northern California, a pristine forest boasting 3,200-year-old trees that are among the tallest in the world.
The Grand Canyon? It barely squeaks by at 69 ppb.
In all, 11 states have national parks that are in non-compliance with the new ozone standard: Arizona, 3; California, 9; Colorado, 2; Connecticut, 3; Illinois, 1; Maine, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Nevada, 1; New Jersey, 2; Pennsylvania, 1; and Utah, 2. Ozone levels are calculated over a three-year period.
The Grand Canyon narrowly missed violating the rule when the EPA went with the 70 ppb level instead of the lower end of the 65-70 range suggested in earlier drafts of the rule.
Country can breathe sigh of relief. We're still stuck with him…
Filed under: Archive, HB 1365, New Energy Economy
By William Yeatman and Amy Oliver Cooke
As Coloradans we thought we might have to apologize to the rest of the country if President Barack Obama nominated former one-term Colorado Governor Bill Ritter to head the Energy Department. If the President wanted to make electricity costs skyrocket and the eco-left community happy, Ritter was his guy, but the President didn't pick him.
Today, the Denver Post's Allison Sherry broke the news that MIT physicist Ernest Moniz got the nod and the environmental community is none too pleased according to Mother Nature Network:
Despite his dense résumé and desire to cut emissions, however, Moniz can be a polarizing figure in scientific and environmental circles. Few experts deny the value of a scientist as DOE chief, but many fans of renewable energy worry about Moniz's gusto for natural gas and nuclear power — not to mention his financial ties to the energy industry.
'We're concerned that, as energy secretary, Ernest Moniz may take a politically expedient view of harmful fracking and divert resources from solar, geothermal and other renewable energy sources vital to avoiding climate disaster,' Bill Snape of the Center for Biological Diversity said in a recent press release. 'We're also concerned that Moniz would be in a position to delay research into the dangers fracking poses to our air, water and climate.'
And the Washington Post reports:
But over the past couple of weeks, many environmentalists and some prominent renewable energy experts have tried to block the nomination of Moniz because of an MIT report supporting "fracking" — as hydraulic fracturing is commonly known — and because major oil and gas companies, including BP, Shell, ENI and Saudi Aramco, provided as much as $25 million each to the MIT Energy Initiative. Other research money came from a foundation bankrolled by shale gas giant Chesapeake Energy.
'We would stress to Mr. Moniz that an 'all of the above' energy policy only means 'more of the same,' and we urge him to leave dangerous nuclear energy and toxic fracking behind while focusing on safe, clean energy sources like wind and solar,' Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune said in a statement Monday.
The Sierra Club doesn't have much credibility because financially it was sleeping with the enemy, having taken $26 million from Chesapeake Energy to destroy the market for coal. One place they enjoyed great success was in Colorado with HB 1365, the fuel switching bill and cornerstone of Ritter's "New Energy Economy."
Governor Ritter coined the term New Energy Economy for his signature agenda. In practice, his New Energy Economy entails three policies: (1) a Soviet-style green energy production quota; (2) subsidies for green energy producers; and (3) a mandate for fuel switching from coal to natural gas. Renewable energy is more expensive than conventional energy, and natural gas is twice as expensive as coal in Colorado, so these policies inherently inflated the cost of electricity.
Last month, the Independence Institute published the first ever line item expensing of Ritter's energy policies, and the results were shocking. In 2012, the New Energy Economy cost Xcel Energy (the state's largest investor-owned utility) ratepayers $484 million, or 18 percent of retail electricity sales.
This princely sum purchased the equivalent of 402 megawatts of reliable capacity generation. By comparison, Xcel had a surplus generating capacity (beyond its reserve margin) in 2012 of 700 megawatts—almost 75 percent more than the New Energy Economy contribution. Thanks to Governor Ritter's energy policies, Xcel ratepayers in Colorado last year paid almost half a billion dollars for energy they didn't need.
In addition to implementing expensive energy policies, Governor Ritter also has experience picking losers in the energy industry. In May 2009, Governor Ritter hand-delivered to Secretary Chu a letter in support of a $300 million loan guarantee for Colorado-based Abound Solar, a thin-filmed solar panel manufacturer. In the letter Ritter claimed Abound would "triple production capacity within 12 months, develop a second manufacturing facility within 18 months and hire an additional 1,000 employees."
Taxpayer money couldn't keep Abound afloat, which never reached production capacity. After its solar panels suffered repeated failures, including catching fire, Abound declared bankruptcy in early 2012 leaving taxpayers on the hook for nearly $70 million and even more at the state and local level. A former employee explained, "our solar modules worked so long as you didn't put them in the sun."
Abound Solar wasn't the only pound-foolish Stimulus spending associated with Governor Ritter. During his administration, the Colorado Energy Office's coffers swelled with almost $33 million in stimulus subsidies for weatherization efforts. According to a recent report by the Colorado Office of State Audits, the Ritter administration failed to even maintain an annual budget for the program. As a result, the audit was unable to demonstrate whether the money had been spent in a cost effective manor. All told, the auditor found that the energy agency could not properly account for almost $127 million in spending during the Ritter administration.
Ritter told the Fort Collins Coloradoan that the scathing audit accusing the agency under his watch of shoddy management practices was not the reason the President passed over him for Energy Secretary.
The former Governor is especially proud of the job creation associated with the New Energy Economy. To be sure, throwing taxpayer money at any industry would create jobs. The problem occurs when the public money spigot runs dry. In this context, an October 22, 2012 top fold, front page headline in the Denver Post is illuminating: "New energy" loses power; A series of setbacks cost over 1,000 jobs and threatens the state's status in the industry. To put it another way, in the two years since Ritter left office, his New Energy Economy has atrophied in lockstep with the reduction in public funding.
Ritter has taken to proselytizing for the gospel of expensive energy. He founded the Center for the New Energy Economy, the purpose of which is to, "provide policy makers, governors, planners and other decision makers with a road map that will accelerate the nationwide development of a New Energy Economy." He even brought with him the former head of the beleaguered energy office Tom Plant to work for him as a "policy advisor."
So far Ritter's bad energy policy has remained largely within the Centennial State, and, for now, that's where it will stay. With the choice of Moniz, the rest of the country can breathe a sigh of relief. For Coloradans, we're still stuck with him.

Abound Solar's connections to $400 million

Crony capitalism Abound: anatomy of a taxpayer-guaranteed loan
By Amy Oliver Cooke
By now it's obvious that the Solyndra scandal never should have happened. It's not even a case of Monday morning quarterbacking. A number of people involved could see the disaster coming.
There is a larger principle here. Government should not use taxpayer money to socialize risk while privatizing profits. Examples such as Colorado-based Abound Solar, which received a $400 million loan guarantee, prove that crony capitalism simply rewards the well connected at taxpayer expense.
Abound Solar
Abound Solar, according to its Web site, "produces next-generation thin-film cadmium telluride solar modules" and "is committed to reducing the cost of solar electricity to levels competitive with fossil fuels."
It is the brainchild of former Colorado State University (CSU) Professor W.S. Sampath and two former students Kurt Barth and Al Enzenroth. It began as AVA Solar and then incorporated into Abound in 2007.
The Web site says it employs 350 people in three Colorado locations. Its Colorado manufacturing plant is located in Weld County, which granted Abound up to $100,000 per year for the next ten years in business property tax rebates. According to sources, the reason for the rebate was job creation intended to benefit Weld County residents. Yet when officials and interested parties ask how many of the 350 jobs have gone to Weld County residents, the solar company does not answer.
Currently Abound has a manufacturing capacity of 65 megawatts expanding to 850 megawatts – at some point. However, in 2010 it manufactured only 30 megawatts. One wonders, if Abound can produce more, why doesn't it?
The Web site does say it is "growing," and news reports claim the company plans to add anywhere from 850 to 1,000 employees thanks to a $400 million taxpayer-guaranteed loan Abound received in July 2010. The taxpayer cash is so it can expand its manufacturing capabilities to a facility in Tipton, Indiana. The Indiana Economic Development Corporation "extended up to $11.85 million in tax credits and $250,000 in training grants" as well.
Abound Solar further claims $260 million in private investments, part of which came from billionaire medical heiress Pat Stryker's Bohemian Companies. This is where the story gets interesting.
Thanks to Independence Institute investigative reporter Todd Shepherd, we still have access to the Web page that lists Bohemian as an investor even though it does not appear on the company's current Web site. The exact amount that Stryker has given is not public at this time. Also, CSU and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are listed as funding resources.
Total public and private monies equal $673,100,000. Assuming Abound can "create" some 1,350 jobs, that is $498,593 per job, of which $360,000 comes from public coffers.
However, Abound's Indiana manufacturing facility is not scheduled to open until 2013 or 2014, which seems like a long time to wait to "create" jobs and turn a profit.
As a comparison, the Denver Bronco's stadium cost $364 million to build of which 68 percent was publicly financed. With a yes vote from taxpayers in November 1998, construction began in August 1999 and was completed in September 2001.
This is not an endorsement of publicly funded professional sports facilities but rather an assumption that the Broncos management didn't want a disruption in cash flow that could come from the inconvenience of a lengthy construction project.
I asked Abound if the company is still on track for a 2013 expansion and received no response. For most companies, time means money except in solar panels.
Pat Stryker
Forbes lists medical heiress and founder of Bohemian Companies/Foundation Pat Stryker as number 331 of its top "400 Richest People in America." Worth $1.3 billion, the Fort Collins resident could single-handedly fund Abound Solar and still be well above the poverty line.
While some of her fortune has gone to Abound Solar, she also has chosen to donate more than $2.2 million (probably a low figure) to Democrats and their causes over the last several election cycles. Beneficiaries include Barack Obama, one-term Congresswoman and Fort Collins resident Betsy Markey, and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar when he successfully ran for U.S. Senate in Colorado.
Stryker is also a charter member of the notorious "gang of four" which changed the political landscape in Colorado through an organization called the Colorado Democracy Alliance (CoDA). Their success was titled the "Colorado Miracle" and is being replicated in other states.
Congresswoman Betsy Markey
With the help from Stryker in 2008, Markey beat incumbent republican Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave in Colorado's conservative 4th Congressional District. Abound Solar, Pat Stryker, and Colorado State University are all in the 4th CD. Between 2008 and 2010 election cycles, CSU employees also donated nearly $27,000 to Markey's campaigns.
When the Waxman-Markey (named for Congressmen Henry Waxman and Ed Markey) cap and trade bill, which included a national renewable energy standard, came up for a vote, Congresswoman Markey danced around the issue for weeks because it wasn't a popular bill in the 4th CD. Ultimately she voted "yes."
In an interview on my radio show following the vote, Markey cited "green jobs" as one of her reasons. What she didn't cite was her relationship to Pat Stryker and Abound Solar or the $2,000 campaign contribution she received from Henry Waxman the night before the vote.
Shortly after the vote, Abound Solar was part of a group that helped pay for TV ads thanking Markey for saying yes to Waxman's bill. Todd Shepherd exposed the politically incestuous relationship and suggested:
[T]he connections between Representative Betsy Markey (D, CO-4), billionaire heiress Pat Stryker, and Abound Solar, appear to have all of the fingerprints of the kind of pay-to-play agenda that has left many Americans wondering how they got stuck with unpopular bills such as cap and trade, formally known as Waxman-Markey (named after a different Markey).
Markey also urged the approval of Abound's $400 million taxpayer-guaranteed loan. The Denver Business Journal reported, "Abound applied for the loan guarantee more than a year ago, and Markey and other members of Colorado's congressional delegation pushed for approval."
Colorado State University
Located in Fort Collins, Colorado, CSU fancies itself the "green" university:
"Colorado State University is internationally known for its green initiatives and clean-energy research including alternative fuels, clean engines, photovoltaics, "smart" grid technology, wind engineering, water resources, and satellite-based atmospheric monitoring and tracking systems. It's also known as a "green" university for its sustainability efforts on campus and abroad.
Abound Solar founders got their start at CSU as the university bragged in a 2007 press release.
Stryker also has a connection to CSU, having donated millions to the university. Furthermore, former CSU president Al Yates became Stryker's mouthpiece and representative on CoDA. The Blueprint, a must-read book from Adam Schrager and Rob Witwer, details the Yates-Stryker relationship along with how democrats won control in Colorado.
Finally, CSU is home to the Center for the New Energy Economy headed by former Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, a renewable energy activist, and funded by private donations, a third of which came from Stryker's Bohemian Foundation. Ritter now makes $300,000 to promote renewable energy throughout the country.
Governor Bill Ritter
With the help of CoDA and Pat Stryker, Democrat Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter won the 2006 Governor's race. His one term legacy is the state's New Energy Economy, 57 pieces of legislation to move the state from reliance on less costly on fossil fuels to renewables. Ritter is a true believer, an eco-evangelical, who signed laws mandating 30 percent renewable energy standards and fuel switching.
In April 2009, Governor Ritter hand-delivered two letters to Energy Secretary Steven Chu who was touring NREL. One letter urged the Department of Energy to grant a $300 million taxpayer-guaranteed loan to Abound Solar:
This request for $300 million would allow [Abound Solar] to triple production capacity within 12 months, develop a second manufacturing facility within 18 months and hire an additional 1,000 employees.
Abound received $400 million in July 2010. By all accounts, the solar panel company will not meet Ritter's original promise of triple capacity in a year and a new facility within 18 months. Just won't happen that fast.
When Ritter left office in January 2011, he became the Director of the Center for the New Energy Economy at CSU and one of the highest paid administrators on campus, thanks to Stryker.
President Barack Obama
President Obama received $11,700 directly from Stryker and Joseph Zimlich, who is a director at Abound Solar and is also associated with Stryker's Bohemian Foundation. No doubt Obama benefitted as well from Stryker's donations to other democrat causes including Campaign Money Watch and Democrat White House Victory Fund.
In Obama's weekly radio address on July 3, 2010, he announced an acceleration of "the transition to a clean energy economy and doubling our use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power – steps that have the potential to create whole new industries and hundreds of thousands of new jobs in America."
He said that Abound Solar:
will manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants, creating more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs. A Colorado plant is already underway, and an Indiana plant will be built in what's now an empty Chrysler factory. When fully operational, these plants will produce millions of state-of-the-art solar panels each year.
That radio address was the formal announcement that Abound Solar received a $400 million loan guarantee courtesy of U.S. taxpayers. Taxpayers get the risk while individuals get the profit.
To recap, Abound Solar receives support from Pat Stryker and Colorado State University both of which fund and promote Congresswoman Betsy Markey. She in turn votes yes on Cap and Trade and urges the federal government to approve the Abound loan.
Abound Solar then contributes to TV ads thanking Markey for her yes vote on Cap and Trade.
Governor Bill Ritter hand delivers letters to Energy Secretary Steven Chu urging the DOE to grant the loan guarantee. When he decides not to run for a second term, he is offered a job at CSU, which is funded in part by Pat Stryker.
President Barack Obama benefitted from Pat Stryker's political donations. In July 2010, he announces a $400 million loan guarantee to Abound.
Can't get a $400 million loan? Apparently you don't know and fund the right people.

Suddenly, there's an excitement to this string of Directional State games over the next week. When the schedule originally came out -- my, how things were different then -- this appeared to be the darkest lull in the schedule just before Big East play hit. Now, it's intriguing to show up and see if this new four-guard offense can duplicate Wednesday's outburst.
The first true challenge of the offense will be against Oklahoma, who can match up athletically and really make UC pay for its lack of size, but if they shoot anywhere near the way they did Wednesday, that won't matter much.
Remember, not only was UC 14 of 32 from 3-point range, but two of their three best shooters from deep went a combined 3 of 12. When you shoot 45 percent from deep and your two of your top shooters miss nine times, the hopes that the shooting trend can continue look good.
Of course, the old adage remains, live by the 3....well, you know the rest. Shooting 32 times from deep probably isn't the ideal number for Cronin, but add in a little more attacking action and you'll see a dangerous balance.
Let's eat...
--- Mick Cronin talked about watching the Wright State film to be liberating. There's a line of UC fans right behind him uttering the same words.
--- Few quick notes on Radford. They play in the same conference as Presbyterian College. In fact, the lost to the Blue Hose (4-5) by eight. They have lost seven in a row and rank in the bottom 30 in the country in points (59.5), assists (9.2) and field goal percentage (.360).
They played Kentucky close...for approximately two minutes before falling 88-40.
--- Zach Collaros has said he's optimistic he'll be able to play in the Liberty Bowl. Butch Jones places it at 50-50. It sure would be special to see ZC step back out there again. Even if some of the plays he runs are more passing progression based that wouldn't necessarily require him to use his legs, it would be a great moment for Collaros to change the final image of his last play with the Bearcats.
My gut feeling -- by the way, Butch Jones not interested in consulting my gut -- is that he plays, as do Munchie Legaux and Jordan Luallen.
--- Butch Jones and Tommy G ran down some of the defining plays of the year on this week's FSO show. Love that Pat O'Donnell's punt against NC State made it in. Watching it again, I had forgotten how much of a bomb that was, it traveled 60+ yards in the air easily.
--- A reminder to get out and get your Liberty Bowl tickets now. For all your information head over to UC's Bowl Central.
--- On the move today, so we are giving some quick randomness, I personally can't believe we are more than halfway through the month and I haven't posted a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation video.

Here's the scientific dirt: Soil can help reduce global warming
"We can substantially reduce atmospheric carbon by using soil. Decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, sequestering carbon and using prudent agricultural management practices that tighten the soil-nitrogen cycle can yield enhanced soil fertility, bolster crop productivity, improve soil biodiversity, and reduce erosion, runoff and water pollution. These practices also buffer crop and pasture systems against the impacts of climate change.

I had an idea just now, while lamenting (as usual) the many shortcomings of CoP -- Hybrid System. Discuss.
Technical Elements = CoP type scoring -- this creates Technical ordinals
Artistic Elements = 6.0 type scoring -- this creates Presentation ordinals
Ordinals would then work as under 6.0. It might need tweaking... but even if it didn't bring the best of both worlds, it might at least eliminate the worst of both worlds. At least Technical Elements would still be scored under CoP which would be minimally affected by corruption. And at least Presentation would be freed of the shackles of CoP, scored again under a more subjective system which is really required for any kind of art.
And as far as corruption (which has been omnipresent) -- no more anonymity, create an oversight board with actual power to investigate and stop corrupt judges, and any corrupt individual (judge or otherwise) should be banned for life.


text: If you've been following this blog long enough, you probably know about our school lunch battles with L. Maybe you followed Operation Bento Box, and wondered, alongside us, whether or not a plastic compartment box could really change L.'s rigid school lunch behaviors. Maybe you were excited, along with us, over the healthy, gluten-free, super-doughnut L. ate for awhile, or the mini waffles (not so healthy), he used to eat. Part of what makes daily life so challenging around here sometimes is that we often feel that everything is a work-in-progress with L., a battleground, a source of worry and stress. Some parents of kids with AS have to deal with all sorts of issues, yet their child will at least eat. People often tell me, oh, he'll grow out of it, or older, wiser parents will pull out stories of all the foods their kid didn't eat, but that he or she will eat now, or describe their child as "picky" but then go on to list a dozen foods he or she will eat that L. never, ever would touch with a ten foot pole. To over-compensate--and I know this--I put a lot of effort into T.'s school lunches. In doing so, I'm either setting T. up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits, or fostering in her a dysfunctional relationship with food, I'm never quite sure. L.'s bento always contains a small, plain, roll, and that's it--that's literally all he will eat at school these days. Perhaps because of this I spend a tremendous amount of time cramming the compartments of T.'s bento box with all sorts of goodies--cucumber wheels, celery sticks and peanut butter, raisin bread triangles, carrots over a bed of romaine lettuce leaves. T. has always been a good eater, ready and willing to at least give most things a try. Last year she was a little more limited in terms of what she would or wouldn't eat at lunch but this year I've been happy to notice that her tastes have branched out tremendously. Take the romaine lettuce leaves, for instance, which she wouldn't eat last year. This year she loves to open up her bento and find the crispy leaves waiting there, cradling a few baby carrots, or some red pepper strips. I've been trying out more and more lunchbox recipes this year, as well. Not long ago, I was leafing through a magazine in a waiting room and I came across mention of sticky rice balls, or onigri, as they're known in Japan. They seemed absolutely perfect for packing into T.'s bento box, as she loves rice, vegetarian sushi, and small things with cute names. If you want to make onigri, there are two things you must do to get them right: one is you have to use sushi rice. The second is to go to this wonderful site and straightaway read all about how to make them. If you use the simple saran wrap method to form to balls, you'll find you can put them together in no time at all. Because we're a vegetarian family, I couldn't use any meat or seafood-based fillings but we did experiment with some of our own: Edamame. These were T.'s favorites--place one or two cooked edamame beans in the center of the rice ball and form the rice around it. Diced tofu, marinated in soy sauce and/or honey. Yummy! Diced green olives and diced cucumbers--an improbable-sounding combination but really good together. Diced cucumbers I also made some onigri with cinnamon and honey sprinkled on the inside and T. said these were like mini rice puddings. I imagine you could include a slivered almond or two along with the honey, or even a couple of raisins. Let your kids come up with some creative fillings of their own! After we made our first batch, T. thought she might want to try peanut butter as a filling, and I thought adding a dollop of plain yogurt in the middle of the rice could be delicious (and evocative for me of the way my grandmother used to serve our rice sometimes, sticky and moist, with plain yogurt stirred into it). These rice balls are easy and fun to make and they make for unique and charming lunchbox additions--I think they'd also be perfect as appetizers for a party. You can dress them up with nori strips (seaweed), roll them in sesame seeds, or leave them plain. Happy Weekend!

Sometimes, a pair of jeans crosses my path that is just plain hard to review. Either I have conflicting thoughts, just can't find the right words, or plain don't like the pair. While these certainly didn't fall into the latter category (and I'll be honest, I was kind of surprised by that one), they have required some thought. Why?
Well, I keep jumping between really liking them and feeling like they're not a great pair of jeans.
The strange thing about these jeans is that they look great. They have a great distress pattern, slight fading on the front thigh and the zippers are the right length and well-placed. I wore a size 25 in the gray pair you see at your left, and they had enough stretch to fit perfectly. I'd definitely go True to Size on these.
I really did get tons and tons of compliments (one woman literally asked me if they were tailored for me – they weren't), and from that angle, I felt sexy.
But, they didn't feel sexy at all. Even after washing, the jeans were still slightly scratchy and had the faint smell of sulfur. They just weren't all that comfortable to me, no matter how great they looked.
That being said, I have worn them a couple of times since my first, and they haven't stretched or lost their shape. For the price point (around $70 retail, but I expect them to be on sale often), they're definitely good. The styles are geared more toward the under-30 set (lots of trendy additions like eye-hooks and zippers), so that perfectly matches the price point.
You can get your hands on a pair at JessicaSimpsonCollection.com, but I can't seem to find this specific gray zippered skinny. They had some other cute styles available.
What do you think about Jessica Simpson jeans?

Verdict Overturned in Favor of Research In Motion in Mformation Patent Case
After considering motions presented by both parties, as well as the jury verdict (which was announced by RIM on July 14, 2012), the Judge determined that RIM had not infringed on Mformations patent. In granting RIMs motion, the Judge also vacated the $147.2 million jury award, which means that RIM is not required to make any payment to Mformation. Mformation has the right to appeal the Judge's ruling; however if Mformation successfully appeals the ruling, the jury verdict would not be reinstated and instead a new trial would occur.
We appreciate the Judges careful consideration of this case. RIM did not infringe on Mformations patent and we are pleased with this victory, said Steve Zipperstein, RIMs Chief Legal Officer. The purpose of the patent system is to encourage innovation, but the system is still too often exploited in pursuit of other goals. Many policy makers have already recognized the need to address this problem and we call on others to join them as this case clearly highlights the significant need for continuing policy reform to help reduce the amount of resources wasted on unwarranted patent litigation.

Review Cornerstone University
Overall, the classes are all great. The professors are all kind and Christ-centered. They all model godly living and push us to do the same through interactions in the classroom setting. They are knowledgeable in both their professional subject areas and knowledge of the bible and Christian faith. It would be nice if more courses were offered during more times. It can be hard to schedule them all at convenient times. Class sizes are great! I love that they are fairly small and allow for more individualized learning and relationship building.
I have not started classes at Cornerstone University yet, but the times I have visited my school were wonderful! I met many new people and learned about the different extra-curriculars I could get involved in. One of the unique things about Cornerstone is the freshman introductory program called Terra Firma, meaning "firm foundation" in latin. It is a program designed to get incoming freshmen the opportunitiy to get involved in community service in Grand Rapids, meet new people, and be exposed to potential career inspiration. Given another chance, I would still choose my school because the environment and educational methods and values are ones that I strongly believe I will benefit from. I am very much looking forward to my first year of experiences at Cornerstone!
I have absolutely loved school so far. My experience could not be better and it has surpassed all of my expectations! I would most definitely choose my school again if I could do it all over. The atmosphere is great, so many loving and fun people, and a community that is Christ-centered. They did a fantastic job during the orientation getting us all to bond and have a lot of fun. I felt right at home immediately! That week was one of the best times I have had there, but the great experience went on throughout all the time I have spent there so far!

Thanks to money from the Arnold Foundation here in Houston, researchers at Rice University teamed up with HISD. So far they've studied if bonuses for teachers improved teacher attendance and student scores. Now the Arnold Foundation is giving even more money–almost $2 million dollars—to expand that partnership. Certain researchers from around the country will have access to data to study key issues in HISD.
"Early learning, the topic of English learners, school choice and the fourth topic is overage or retained students."
That's Ruth López Turley. She's the director of the Houston Education Research Consortium. It's the partnership between Rice and HISD.
"It's a two-way communication. They inform our research agendas and our research informs their decision making."
The first part of the partnership was spent building a database of student grades, special needs and other information. It now contains more than 300,000 students who've attended HISD. Researchers can't identify individual students. But they can track their progress over time.
Turley says they hope to answer some pretty important questions. For example what are the early warning signs a student might drop out.
"If you can identify these students early enough to intervene, you can actually alter their trajectories, you can actually do something about it."
She says that's ultimate goal of the growing research, to improve education for students.

For the creamed celery root-
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Minced garlic
- ˝ cup Leeks (white only)
- 1 cup Celery root (Fine, even dice)
- ľ cup Potato (peeled, fine, even dice)
- l cup Cooking broth from the clams
- 2 cups White chicken stock
- l/4 cup Mascarpone cheese
- l/4 cup Minced clams (from previous recipe)
- 1 Tablespoons Chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
In a heavy sauteuse, heat the butter over medium heat and add the butter and melt it until it foams. Add the minced garlic and season, sweat the garlic until soft and add the diced leeks. Sweat until translucent. Add the diced celery root and potato and stir well to coat. Season again and deglaze with the clam broth. Reduce until dry and add half of the chicken stock and simmer, continuously stirring until reduced by half. Add the remaining chicken stock and simmer until again reduced by 3/4.

Place the rondo in the oven for 2 and 1/2 hours, checking every 1/2 hour and stirring not to burn the top. After the liquid is rich and light golden brown, place on stove to cool for 1/2 hour and strain liquid. Reduce liquid to 1/3 the volume and blend in a high-speed blender and reserve at room temperature. (The fat from the chicken should not be removed, that's were the flavor is!)
For the sole "Meuniére"-
- 4 Small lemon soles (or any type of sole, filleted)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
- ˝ cup Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 4 Tablespoons Shallots (fine dice)

Heat a heavy sauté pan, heat the oil over high to medium heat. Season and flour the fillets of sole. Allow the oil to get smoking hot and add the filets. Add the first 2 Tablespoons of butter and cook over very high heat until golden brown. Sauté briefly until fish is almost cooked. Add the garlic puree and the shallots and sauté again, add the lemon juice and reduce and glaze with the butter, finish with the chopped parsley, reserved clams (in shell) and seasonings.
For the garnish-
- 1 Head of baby fennel
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon vinaigrette
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons chives
Moments before serving, shave the fennel with a mandolin and toss in a bowl with the lemon vinaigrette and chopped chives. Season and reserve. To present the dish, heat the creamed celery root and finish with the chopped chives, place 4 Tablespoons of it in the center of a deep bowl, arrange the fish filets on top (4 per person), and arrange the clams(3 per person) around, garnish on top with a few chards of the shaved fennel and drizzle with the brown chicken juice. Serve promptly.

My cat has an extremely straight line going under her chin and up the sides of her jaw
My friends and I believe it is a swollen vein. My vet is unsure of what it is and suggested a dermatologist, which is rather expensive.
She is about 4 years old.
It has been there for over 3 weeks now with it not changing.
Her behaviorisms are normal as is her feces.
My vet initially thought she had gotten her head stuck some place, which is not the case.

The Queen of Hearts HTML version
4. Our Grand Project
AT the end of the fifth week of our guest's stay, among the letters which the morning's
post brought to The Glen Tower there was one for me, from my son George, in the
The effect which this letter produced in our little circle renders it necessary that I should
present it here, to speak for itself.
This is what I read alone in my own room:
"MY DEAREST FATHER--After the great public news of the fall of Sebastopol, have
you any ears left for small items of private intelligence from insignificant subaltern
officers? Prepare, if you have, for a sudden and a startling announcement. How shall I
write the words? How shall I tell you that I am really coming home?
"I have a private opportunity of sending this letter, and only a short time to write it in; so
I must put many things, if I can, into few words. The doctor has reported me fit to travel
at last, and I leave, thanks to the privilege of a wounded man, by the next ship. The name
of the vessel and the time of starting are on the list which I inclose. I have made all my
calculations, and, allowing for every possible delay, I find that I shall be with you, at the
latest, on the first of November--perhaps some days earlier.
"I am far too full of my return, and of something else connected with it which is equally
dear to me, to say anything about public affairs, more especially as I know that the
newspapers must, by this time, have given you plenty of information. Let me fill the rest
of this paper with a subject which is very near to my heart--nearer, I am almost ashamed
to say, than the great triumph of my countrymen, in which my disabled condition has
prevented me from taking any share.
"I gathered from your last letter that Miss Yelverton was to pay you a visit this autumn,
in your capacity of her guardian. If she is already with you, pray move heaven and earth
to keep her at The Glen Tower till I come back. Do you anticipate my confession from
this entreaty? My dear, dear father, all my hopes rest on that one darling treasure which
you are guarding perhaps, at this moment, under your own roof--all my happiness
depends on making Jessie Yelverton my wife.
"If I did not sincerely believe that you will heartily approve of my choice, I should hardly
have ventured on this abrupt confession. Now that I have made it, let me go on and tell
you why I have kept my attachment up to this time a secret from every one--even from
Jessie herself. (You see I call her by her Christian name already!)
"I should have risked everything, father, and have laid my whole heart open before her
more than a year ago, but for the order which sent our regiment out to take its share in
this great struggle of the Russian war. No ordinary change in my life would have silenced

Blog Awesome Challenge: Putting Pinterest to Work for Your Blog
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to your soon-to-be new obsession: PINTEREST
In case you are unfamiliar with the application, let me give you some background: Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board where users can gather inspirational images found on the web. It simply allows you to create virtual pinboards of your favorite images, share them with your friends and followers, and discover new things.
How many times have you found yourself online, seen an image of something that really appealed to you (like an interesting hairstyle, clever idea or beautifully decorated room) only to never find that same inspiration again?
On Pinterest, you can keep those images neatly tucked away until you want to refer to them again.
Now, before we go any further, I should be upfront about one thing with you … I am a Pinterest junkie. (As in, spending all of my free time oohing and aahing over what others curate.)
Some of my favorite ways to use Pinterest include:
- Idea gathering: For future use in event planning, entertaining and the like.
- DIY creativity: There are some might creative people on the Internet. I pin their projects to attempt later. (Attempt being the operative word here.)
- Inspiration: Quotes, photographs, places and spaces.
- Home decor ideas
- Fashion & style finds
- Office: Design and organization ideas for the office.
- Incredibly cool and unique products that I don't want to forget about.
- Humor: Recording hilarity on the web.
- Foodie fun: A collection of recipes and food ideas. (I call my pinboard "Food Porn." Nuff said?)
- Vision boards: A collection of items serving as my online vision board (Like how flat I want my abs, my "someday" wardrobe, etc.)
Once you get started, the easiest way to pin items is to install their "Pin It" bookmark. From that point, anytime you find an image you like, just "Pin It" and you will be given options to pin any of the pictures on that page to your Pinterest boards. So simple!
Generating Traffic With Pinterest
Pinterest has fast become a tool for for blogs, Etsy shops and unique products to be discovered. Bloggers have reported massive traffic spikes from posts that have been discovered by others and shared via Pinterest.
For those intent upon using the outlet as a traffic generator for their own content, some advice – The best way to get traffic from Pinterest is to post compelling visuals to your own website that will get attention from readers and compell them to "pin you." In other words… create fantastic content with eye popping visuals and it will naturally get shared. Don't forget to provide the Pinterest sharing buttons at the bottom of your blog posts to encourage pinning.
Find me on Pinterest: My boards
Have you tried Pinterest? What do you think of it? How do you use it?
If you are on Pinterest… link up your url and we'll follow your boards!
Happy Pinning!
Be sure to pop over to the linky for week 3 and share your Twitter handles, FB pages, and Pinterest profiles so we can connect with you!


text: Always believe in something bigger than yourself and never let anyone tell you that you can't make a difference in the world. If you believe you can, then you can. No matter how small of a difference you can make, it's still a difference. Pay attention to what's going on in the world and believe that you matter. Think about how fast things would change if people actually cared and believed that they could make a difference. Just a thought.

Hi Folks,
Recently purchased my first BMW after a long time waiting (and saving) have read a lot of useful information on here regarding the problem I am currently experiencing. My 320d is 2000 excellent nick, nothing untoward until........... an intermittent problem with the turbo. I have seen a lot of useful info about the MAF and ERG, Its going on my mates diagnostic machine tomorrow afternoon but a couple of questions I would really appreciate an answer to first How do I know if I have the old MAP sensor or the newer one which needs to be coded? is there an easy way of checking whilst diagnosing?
Should I attempt to clean or have him order me one from trade before I get there? its seems to be the most common fault
Is there anything else I should look for?
Has anyone had a similar experience which didn't turn out to be the MAF filter?
The turbo was replaced at high expense by a dealer less than two years ago and I have the receipt. It pulls great so the turbo itself is fine, there is a chance it could have been shoddy workmanship and a cheap pipe or hose has a slit crack causing the loss of pressure, hopefully the Diagnostics will narrow it down but I would really appreciate any feedback at all.
Many Thanks

Niagara University will be hosting events April 2-5 in conjunction with "Enough is Enough," a national campaign focused on stemming violence in society.
The "Enough is Enough" campaign is coordinated across the country by NASPA Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. The campaign grew out of a call to action by Zenobia Lawrence Hikes, vice president of student affairs at Virginia Tech, whose analysis of the 2007 tragedy at that university inspired NASPA to chart a "new paradigm for safety and security on the nation's campuses." The "Enough is Enough" Campaign unites administrators, educators and counselors from high schools and colleges, as well as parents and students.
At Niagara, one associated event will take place each day, Tuesday through Friday (the university is closed on Monday, April 1).
RELATIONSHIPS: Resolve Before They Dissolve!
- A Workshop On Conflict Resolution
- Tuesday, April 2, 7:30 p.m., Seton Hall Lounge
Martial Arts: Spirituality Over Violence
- Tai Chi Demonstration & Presentation
- Wednesday, April 3, 11:30 a.m., LL Gallagher Center
Silence & Domestic Violence
- Workshop and Discussion
- Thursday, April 4, 7 p.m., O'Shea Hall Lounge
Purple Footprint Pledge Signing & Display
- Friday, April 5, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., LL Gallagher Center
- (Pledges will be available throughout the week in LL Gallagher, CAO/MISA Office, & Residence Halls.)

Keira Knightley poses topless for September's Interview. She was shot by Patrick Demarchelier for the magazine's "Photographers' Issue," and the movie star interviewed him about his successful, wide-ranging photography career.
Knightley tells Demarchelier, who was Princess Diana's official photographer, that he gave her excellent advice during their shoot. "You said something really interesting to me on the shoot: 'You have to relax your face, because that's what good movie acting is, a relaxed face. It's the same thing as having pictures taken,'" says the actress. She goes on, "You're absolutely right. It's very funny, because no photographer has ever said that to me before and made the kind of connection between the two things."
Others featured in the issue include Nicole Kidman and Naomi Campbell. Note: The topless photos of Knightley are no longer available

Cricket Mental Training: The Complete Guide
Mental preparation is often overlooked in cricket. We all say how important it is, then go back to the nets for another hit. But it's simple to improve your mental game without ever having to see a shrink. You simply need to be aware of how to do it.
However, "knowing yourself" is also one of the harder skills to develop as both a player and a person. It can take decades of work. It's about far more than just practicing and hoping you will get spotted the day you score a hundred.
Some people scoff at the idea that the head has anything to do with the physical skills of the game. Yet, these same people are also the ones who applaud the tougness of batsmen who see of a barrage of bouncers, or the determination of a spinner who is under attack from a flashing blade.
The fact is, everyone uses their mind, the only difference is how much you control it or how much it controls you.

Date of Stay: August, 2007
Just as others have reviewed. Not many sites for visitors as it is full of month to month folks. The sites are back in but they do escort you to the site and help with backing in. Problem for us was that the streets are very full of tow/extra vehicles which makes easy in/out tough. I tried to leave early and had to get folks to move cars. Wireless is only available within a few yards of the office. $10 key fee for access after hours is a silly idea and I ended up not getting mine back. I did return the key in the night slot though. Overall it was a good spot if your in a pinch and want a good location.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
We stayed here 2 nights and can't say we thought much of it. We got stuck in the older/long term tenant space and didn't care much for the looks of things. Restrooms and facility was clean and well maintained. Good access to Nampa and Boise attractions but I wouldn't want to stay here long. Wireless internet worked well and the guy running the place was nice enough.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
We had an excellent time at this campground. There are plenty of pull through's with good grass next to each site. Trees are nice and it's right next to the Snake river. They even have a small fishing pond for trout, no license required. Owner was nice and very attentive to the park and guests. Good for dogs and kids. Wireless internet was excellent and they deliver food to your trailer. Easy access from the freeway and fuel right at the entrance.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
We loved our short stay at the park. They escort you to the site and seem pretty well organized. We stayed there in a 5th wheel and it was a reasonable pull through. The sites are tight together and it wouldn't be a place to stay for a long time. BBQ was outstanding and one of the highlights of our entire trip!

In tally or tally.erp 9 voucher entry configuration is very important. Tally user has to set/change the default voucher entry configuration as per his/her requirement and some changes in configuration is generally requires for a fast and error free posting.
Voucher entry configuration will help you for speedy receipts and payment entry
However if you haven't created any company in Tally, then you should create a company
To change the default voucher entry configuration the procedure is :
Go to main menu of Tally
Press F12
Select voucher Entry
You will find the screen as per shown in the below link :
Now set yes or no as per your requirement
for e.g. I always prefer to pass fast entry for vouchers so, I always set configuration as :
it help me in faster entry of all vouchers as it will bypass the entering date for all vouchers whenever I need to change the date, I prefer to change it by pressing F2
for speedy and error free entry of payment vouchers I set it as :
also, set use payment/receipt in contra as "yes"
you will be able to make cash withdrawal/cash deposit or inter bank transfer entry in payment mode instead of contra.
If you do this only then you will be able to PRINT CHEQUE FOR SELF (cash withdrawal)
If you always confuse between To and By entry in Tally then set it as:
Similarly so many important para meter there are which is very beneficial to average user of tally.

Generation D, those digitally native "kids" born after 1995, are your next workforce, and it is an almost certainty that you are not ready for them. This generation will expect to have access to the latest and constantly evolving greatest technologies. And while many business execs will scoff at these demands, they will miss a critical opportunity if they mistake the most disruptive generation for the most entitled one, according to Ari Lightman, Distinguished Service Professor at the Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University. Forget hiring web masters and social media mavens, right now many businesses are not equipped to recruit and retain talented digitally-savvy employees for jobs critical to their operations, including finance and accounting.
This is not a new problem, and it is actually not one that is even just about Generation D (also referred to as Generation Z begging the multi-faceted question, "Where do we go from here?"). Businesses and back office professional groups have been seeing this issue building for some time. Back in 2008, the Pathways Commission was formed as a partnership between the SEC and private industry to modernize the accounting profession. Professor Bruce Behn, Chair of the Pathways Commission and professor of accounting at the University of Tennessee, characterized one of the key challenges facing the accounting profession:
"Educators and the profession as a whole are way behind in understanding how technology is changing our world. One of our presenters actually stated that, if we don't watch out…accounting could become irrelevant."
Generation D is the first generation to never know life before the Internet. Its members have been raised on instant gratification, relentless self-publishing, online consensus building, and constant social networking. As a result, besides being called D and Z, they also are sometimes called Generation M (for multitasking) or Generation C (for connected). But one thing is certain; they have never called anyone on a phone.
They are all online, according to a recent study by Wikia and Ipsos MediaCT, for more than an hour a day, with 46 percent online for ten plus hours per day. And while they are online, they are contributing content, participating in communities, and genuinely following their dreams. This generation believes they can change the world. And they know that isn't going to happen crunching numbers alone in a cubicle.
So, how can finance or accounting departments—professions known for being laggards in technology adoption—possibly compete? The answer is simple: If you want to acquire and keep the best talent, give them access to the most advanced tools to help them get their job done. These kids know that email does not equal collaboration. They want and know that they need to be part of the conversation stream. And they know how to get others involved.
The good news is that the tools are there. Equipping your team with cloud, social, and mobile technologies is no longer an experiment. Software vendors know they need to not only architect for the cloud, but also design for the mobile form factor and for the context of the mobile employee. Enterprise social technologies offer accounting and finance teams a better way to become more relevant, more involved, and a trusted advisor to the rest of the business. Tools like Salesforce Chatter, Yammer and Jive have provided a great way for companies to leapfrog from transactional functions to a more modern, strategic role. Social tools are particularly adept at knocking down barriers between people and departments, just what the doctor ordered for finance and accounting.
It's a two-way street and Generation D workers will be itching to drive their Priuses on it. The good news is that with this new generation we have the tools and the talent to finally revolutionize finance and accounting, breaking down silos and building powerful, connected teams. We have the technology and the people needed to make a difference. Now, it is up to us to make modern finance and accounting a reality worthy of its own hash tag.
