With 20 years of experience consulting to business globally I have witnessed the various ingredients that make business successful and those that do not.
One of the core ingredients to success lies in the the use of the only business scorecard. The financial statements. Using financial statements as a vehicle of both discovery and action has and most probably will be my sole focus and passion.
In my pursuit I have developed numerous methodologies that help business to use their financial statements creating break through improvements that have lasting cultural impact. My background both as a Chartered Accountant in South Africa and Australia combined with a Masters in Marketing and Logistics has enabled me to align financial performance with strategy and business output.
The development of Global Financial Bridge which is a financial statement performance tool is now used as an advisory system by over 500 businesses and CPA firms. I agree it is a slow process but the one thing I do know is that business performance is aligned with how effectively managers are engaged with their numbers and the story these numbers tell.
The creation of the Money Map (and for larger business the Treasure Map) has been a significant breakthrough for both Mick Holly and I. We have found through the process of developing the Maps for over 200 businesses that managers are engaged in a way that fundamentally changes how they view their business and their thinking.
Over time the Money Map became a process that can be deployed by consultants, business managers and owners. The deployment of this course was done to progress the movement.
Our mantra is that if this course can prevent one business from failing we have been most successful.
Have fun with the Money Map, you will find that you need no accounting expertise to do this just good old business sense will be all you require.
What we do
We transform financial statements into a story that engages the spirit of discovery creating opportunities to improve profit cash and returns
We have recently launched financial statement story podcast creating the core capability of how to read financial statements like a book in 5 minutes. Making financial statements a critical management tool that integrates strategy and its outcome measured in their financial statements.
Our Financial Statement analysis tool empowers communication of strategy, actions and thoughts through their financial statements. Enabling management to measure the impact of their past and future decisions within a one page scorecard.

The Dallas Mavericks are damaged goods. End of story. Seriously, has this team won a single truly important game since Game 2 of the 2006 Finals? From that moment on, the Mavs' collective psyche has been forced to endure one beating after another, to the point where it's difficult to see them even participating in an emotional, gutty, leave-it-all on the floor type of series (think 2006 Western Conference Finals vs. the Spurs) again, let alone actually winning one. Between blowing a near 3-0 NBA Finals lead in 2006 against the Miami Heat, to steamrolling through the 2006-07 regular season, only to get humiliated by the 8th seeded Golden State Warriors, to falling all the way to #7 in West and getting absolutely disemboweled by Chris Paul to start this postseason, on their to falling behind the New Orleans Hornets 3-1, how can this team have any emotional fuel left?
It time to face facts- the Dallas Mavericks, as currently comprised, are NOT going to win a championship. As hard is this may be for Mark Cuban to come to grips with, it is undeniably true. Although Dirk Nowitzki is still a top-flight talent, he's no longer one of the league's 10 best players (even disregarding age, would you take Dirk over Kobe, LeBron, CP3, KG, Amare, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, A.I., Pau or Chauncey Billups? Me either)- he's a fantastic player and potentially an all-time great #2 guy on a championship team, but fact is that he missed his window to evolve into a true superstar, the heart-and-soul of a top team.
Sad as it may be, it's time for Cuban and the Mavs to blow this thing up and start over. Assuming the Hornets are successful in handing the Mavs their second consecutive beating, head coach Avery Johnson is unlikely to be back for another year, but the overhaul can't stop there- this team needs to revamp its identity. As things stand now, the Mavericks have become the NBA team most synonymous with disappointment and underachievement. Fortunately, the team is not without talent or tradable assets, so the next step for the Mavericks should be one of reinvention rather than rebuilding, considering that:
- Next year, Jason "I am definitely no longer a" Kidd (and his expiring $21.3 million contract) will be among the league's most coveted bargaining chips, and will have the Mavs on the short list of possible destinations for any big-money stars that happen to be on the trading block any time before next season's trade deadline.
- In addition to having Jason Kidd 's massive expiring contract coming off the books after next season, the Mavs have some significant cap relief coming to them, with the $18.6 million paid to Michael Finley (yup, they're still paying him!), and an additional $7.5 million paid to the duo of Devean George and Shawn Bradley, coming off the books for 2008-09 (Shawn Marion???).
- Josh Howard, an extremely talented and athletic 27-year old with a "not insane" contract (Base Year Compensation of $9 million in 2007-08; just under $21 million over the next two seasons, with a team option for a third at $11.8 million), gives the Mavs an asset that will provide them with the opportunity to add a quality contributor (maybe two?) at a very manageable price.
- Finally, it's time to think the unthinkable- if the Mavs are successful in dealing Jason Kidd's expiring uber-deal for a legitimate top-flight talent, then maybe, just maybe, it's time to at least listen to offers for Dirk Nowitzki. While a team with Dirk as its most talented player could certainly contend for a title, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the personality and identity of a championship team cannot have Dirk as its cornerstone. While the situation in Dallas may not yet be dire enough to warrant this drastic a move, we've all got to admit that the notion of dealing Dirk is less insane with every new letdown for this franchise.
Bottom line: there is little-to-no chance of the Mavericks' current squad regaining their dominance of 2005-06 and the 2006-07 regular season, so why not capitalize on the variety of assets at their disposal and usher in a new era for the Mavs? The most important things to realize are that 1) this team peaked in June 2006, and has been unable to conjure up the strength to regain its status as a legitimate title contender, and 2) if handled properly, the retooling of the Mavericks does not have to be a painful, loss-filled rebuilding process. It may be difficult to accept, but the winds of change look ready to sweep through Dallas.

wikiHow to Make a Personalized Google Map
"My Maps" is a service run by Google Maps that allows users to create and save custom maps. These maps can be annotated using landmarks, routes, custom shapes, text, and more. This customization allows you to create maps for special purposes; for instance, you might create a suggested walking tour for tourists in your city, or you might create a map to help you catalog the locations of your favorite restaurants. After you make a personalized Google map, you can publish it for all to see or keep it for your own private use.
1Log into your Google account. You must have a Google account to make a personalized map. Log into your account using the "Sign in" button in the upper-right corner of the Google home page.
2Create a new personalized map. To begin creating your map, go to the Google Maps home page. Below the Google Maps logo, click the "My places" link. From the options that appear, click the "Create New Map" button. Give your map a title and a brief description using the available text boxes, and then choose to make your map public or private.
- Making a map public allows all Google users to search for and view your map; other users will not be able to edit it, however. Choosing the "unlisted" option allows only you to view and edit the map.
3Add placemarks to your map. The button showing a blue teardrop shape is the placemark tool. To use it, zoom your map in until you can clearly see the location you want to indicate. Click the placemark tool button, and then click on the location. A window will appear allowing you to give your placemark a title and a description. You can always delete placemarks later by clicking on them and choosing "Delete" from the window.
4Add routes to your personalized map. The button showing a bent blue line has 3 options: it can used for drawing lines, shapes, or routes (which are lines that automatically snap to road locations). Click on the button and select the "Draw a line along roads" option from the drop-down menu. To start drawing a route, click once on a road. Drag your mouse along the route, clicking at each turn to lock the route into place. Double-click at the end point of the route to complete it. You will be asked to give your route a name and description.
- Selecting the "Draw a line" option will allow you to draw lines that don't snap to the road locations.
5Add shapes to your map. Select the "Draw a shape" option from the line tool button. Click somewhere on the map to begin drawing your shape. Continue moving your mouse and clicking to define the edges of the shape; connect it to its start point to finish it. Shapes can be given titles and descriptions as well. You might want to use a shape to indicate the neighborhood you live in or your favorite stretch of beach, for instance.
6Add photographs or videos to your personalized map. In the description box of each placemark, route, line, or shape, you can embed media of your choice. Inserting an image is done by clicking the "Image" button above the description box and typing the URL of the image. Embedding video can be done for YouTube videos by simply typing in the video's URL. Adding media will allow you to show your own photographs from a vacation or outing, for example.
7Save your finished map. When you are done editing your map, click the "Done" button in the left panel. You can always edit it later by returning to it through the "My places" menu.
Community Q&A
How do I add pictures to my map if they are not on the internet (no URL)?Go to your map and select a place. Click on the picture of a camera. Then, drag (or select) the image in the "Upload" category.
How do I embed a map that I create on my website?wikiHow ContributorWhen you preview it, or if someone else sees it/clicks on the link, below the overall description there will be a "Share" button. Click on that, and a menu will pop up. One of the choices is "Embed on my site."
How do I add audio to my map?wikiHow ContributorYou can not directly add audio to a map. You can, however, embed a map on your website (see above), and alongside it include a standard HTML5 audio tag which can then play any audio you would like.
Can I delete places already on the map?
What format must the videos that can be uploaded to Google maps? No matter what I try, it fails.
Can these maps be made from a tablet? We do not own a PC or laptop.
Can I create a map of my area and have it printed for wall mounting?
- If you want several people to be able to edit a single map, invite them as collaborators using the "Collaborate" link in the left panel. You will only need their email addresses to invite them.

The objective is to make something delicious and flavorful without a lot of elbow grease. Therefore my slow cooker meals need to take less than 10 minutes from fridge to pot and less than 10 minutes from pot to plate. No one has an hour before work to brown their meat and saute vegetables.
Slow Cooker Pineapple Pulled Pork is no exception. The only work you will do is the quartering and slicing of an onion and shredding the pork. The meat will be so tender you will have difficult keeping it whole when you remove it from the pot.
The sauce is a teriyaki analog using brown sugar and pineapples to cut the acidity of soy sauce and vinegar. The end result is savory pork with a sweet sauce. This is a wonderful recipe for weeknights or watching the big game. Pork can stay on "keep warm" for hours without getting dry allowing guests to graze and get a slider when they are hungry.
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1/2 sweet onion quartered then sliced
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 20 ounce can pineapple chucks in pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon bottled fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 16 sweet potato slider rolls
- This first step is very important. Don't skimp (please note sarcasm). Place pork chops through dry ground mustard and 1/2 cup water in the slow cooker. Stir until dry ingredients have disappeared. Place the top on and SET IT AND FORGET IT! 4 hours on low or 8 hours on high.
- Anywhere between an hour or 5 minutes before serving, use a slotted spoon to fish out pork chops and shred them using two forks. Meat will be so tender it should fall apart easily. Return meat to slow cooker.
- Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Add to slow cooker mixture to thicken up the sauce a little. Stir.
- Serve on slider rolls and enjoy!

I think we'd all got there with the taking Rolling Roads with a pinch of salt, but another 35ib/ft of torque over night... ha ha, that's a great mod! Shame you can't make it, as I'm not sure there is a superchips car attending, It's great to see a mix of different tuned cars on the same road on the same day. Should be a great day though - think there are about 25 cars, with some TT-S coming along as well from the tt-talk.com forum.

With the playoffs starting in two weeks, and just the top eight teams in the 12-team league making it based strictly on record, it is now crunch time for the teams still in the hunt. It is also crunch time for teams who want a good seed in a very competitive summer men's league. Vista Bank won two games this past week, opening play on Monday night with t he first century mark score, besting FieldStones, 111-72, as standout Ed Tarpey poured in a season high 36 and didn't even break a sweat. Eric Davis followed Tarpey for the Bankers with 25 points, while Keith Fallen had 21 and Brian Pohl 17 for the Stones. Vista then came back on Thursday night to down Felix's Tavern in a good matchup, 82-70, as Tarpey hit for 30 points and Davis added 20. Harry Morra chipped in with 15 more in the close win. Brad Hart and James Hoffman each had 16 for Felix's.
Rekuc's (7-2) lost to U.S.Kitchens and Hackettstown scoring machine Brandon Zaleski with 27 points and Marty O'Hora with 18. Rekuc's, made up of former North Hunterdon players, got 19 from Steve Sharp and 17 from Ken Manchin.
Rekuc's bounced back on Sunday night with a big 84-58, win over Charlie Browns with four in double figures led by flashy point-guard Kyle Mandelberg with a career high 26 points and big 6-5 center Brent Dilts with 20. Steve Rekuc had 16 and Matt Novak added 14 for the winners.
Phillipsburg High grad Matt Scerbo led the CB team with 29 and Mike Duffy added 24.
Super Fly (5-4) got over the .500 mark with a couple of wins last week, downing Spectrum Graphics on Monday, 59-58, as Voorhees grad Rick Martini dumped in an offensive bound at the buzzer for the win. Chris Cuhna led the win with 24 and Martini finished with 15. Mitch Schlesinger had 23 and Frank Witzel added 17 for Spectrum.
SuperFly then crushed Frank Rymon & Sons, 74-36, as North grad Eric Tomczak led the win with 28 and Brian Hill added 14 for the Fly. Kyle Rymon and Noah Schneider combined for 20 in the loss.
Felix's Tavern (6-2) bounced back from the loss to Vista with wins over Frank Rymon & Sons, 66-45, as Hart hit for 23 and Brian Brennan added 17. Schneider had 14 for Frank Rymon.
They also took down Spectrum Graphics on Sunday night, 52- 48, in a game not as close as it looked, with Jim Hoffman with 13 and Justin Barrows-Treut with 11. Gary Poyer had 14 and Chris Larson 12 for Spectrum.
U.S. Kitchens (7-2) nipped a feisty Warren Hills crew, 88- 79, as Zaleskighit f or 34 and Jim O'Connor added 18. Mike Jones had a summer-high 32 points, Heath Dilts hit for 17 and Mike Comick 14 for the Streaks.
Warren Hills (3-5) beat Charlie Browns, 66-53, as Jones had 19 points and Comick 10. Scerbo popped in a career-high 33 for CB's, and Duffy added 14.
On Thursday night (July 26) Midnight Fury and Rekuc's battled in a good one at 7:45 p.m., while Vista Bank and SuperFly tangle in the 9 p.m. game.
American Division: Vista Bank 7-0, Rekuc's 7-2, DaConti's 3-4, Warren Hills 3-5, Spectrum Graphics 3-6, Frank Rymon & Sons 0-9.
National Division: Midnight Fury 6-1, U.S. Kitchens 7-2, Felix's Tavern 6-2, SuperFly 5-4, FieldStones 2-6, Charlie Brown's 0-8.

You must have the Dark Lance, unless you don't have it.
It's a good tactic for first fights, like me (but i played on my bro's phone).
It was my first boss, i just defeated it in minutes tonight.
I loved fighting it, so maybe i could defeat Skeletron (my bro defeated it).

|Unidentified Jedi Master (Sacking of Coruscant)
|Biographical information
|Physical description
|Chronological information
|OOC Informations
This Jedi Master was a male Human member of the Jedi Order by 3,653 BBY, during the Great Galactic War. When a pair of intruders—Darth Malgus and a Twi'lek—entered the Jedi Temple on the Republic capital of Coruscant, this Jedi, accompanied by his colleagues, was quick to confront the two. Before anything could be done, a captured Republic shuttle full of Sith warriors crashed through the Temple's main entrance. Its passengers quickly disembarked, immediately attacking the group of Jedi. This Jedi fought against Malgus in a display of Force powers and lightsaber skills, but he was soon impaled by the Sith Lord, killed as the Sith Empire's assault on Coruscant began.

In 3,681 BBY, the forgotten Sith Empire emerged from hiding and launched a war against the Galactic Republic. In 3,653 BBY, twenty-eight years after the war's beginning, the Sith forces contacted the Republic with their wish to negotiate an end to the conflict. The Jedi Order, sworn defenders of the Republic, were skeptical of the Sith's intentions, but they realized that they had little chance of winning the war and decided to see if peace was really possible. While delegates from both sides met on the Core World of Alderaan to negotiate a cease-fire, the Sith moved in on the planet of Coruscant, the Republic's capital.[2]
This male Human Jedi Master was present at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when Darth Malgus and a Twi'lek proceeded to kill a squad of Temple security guards that were trying to bar them from entering the Temple. As the pair of intruders strode in, this Jedi—accompanied by his lightsaber-wielding allies, who had taken up positions flanking him on numerous levels—positioned himself in front of Malgus without a word. Before either opponent could act, a captured Republic shuttle crashed through the Temple's main entrance, damaging the surrounding area and skidding to a stop behind Malgus. The Jedi held their ground for a moment as the shuttle came to a halt. The shuttle's hatch opened, revealing a strike force of at least twenty-five Sith warriors who ignited their lightsabers and engaged the assembled Jedi and members of Temple Security in a pitched battle.[1]
After immobilizing the Twi'lek by throwing her against a stone pillar, the Jedi was alerted by a nearby astromech droid to an impending strike from Malgus. He and the Sith Lord engaged in combat, and the Jedi held his own against his opponent. He was knocked back by a roundhouse kick, using the opportunity to strike at a pair of Sith before leaping into the air as Malgus threw his lightsaber at his adversary, narrowly missing the blade. However, while he was still airborne, Malgus Force pushed him through a mound of rubble.[1]
Malgus pulled his lightsaber back to his hand as he Force jumped over the rubble and, bringing his weapon in a killing strike, drove it into the floor where the Jedi had been only a moment earlier. The Jedi, however, had evaded the strike and once again engaged Malgus in blade-to-blade combat, even managing to land a blow to his enemy's face with the hilt of his lightsaber. Ultimately, he was no match for Malgus, opening himself up to a fatal thrust through his abdomen. As he lay dying, the Sith Lord told him how the Jedi Order had been deceived, and that the Republic would fall as a result. The Jedi's last sight was that of the Temple Precinct in flames, with scores of Sith starfighters, warships, and ground forces continuing the attack on the capital world,[1] a battle that would culminate with the death of the Republic's Supreme Chancellor and the destruction of the Temple itself.[3]
Personality and traits
When Darth Malgus and his Twi'lek companion breached the Temple's defenses, this Jedi led his comrades in confronting the two in a standoff. Even as the captured Republic shuttle crashed through the building's main entrance, the Jedi stood his ground while his companions took a few steps back. When the Sith emerged from the craft, this Jedi joined his allies in defending the Temple, soon rushing to combat his opposite number in an ultimately fruitless attempt.
Powers and abilities
This Jedi utilized a wide variety of Force powers during the Invasion of the Jedi Temple; namely, telekinetic feats such as Force jump and Force speed when avoiding the lightsaber attacks of Darth Malgus, who ultimately killed him. Skilled in lightsaber combat, the Jedi held his own against his enemy, managing to block most of the Sith's strikes before the Sith managed to stab him in the abdomen.
Behind the scenes
This unidentified Jedi appeared in the "Deceived" trailer to the upcoming video game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, albeit without any dialogue. Thus far, the trailer has been the character's only appearance.

$10.9M project at two YME buildings given OK
GRANITE FALLS -- Yellow Medicine East can continue to move forward with an estimated $10.9 million worth of health and safety and other improvements to its buildings this summer.
A judge's ruling denied a request by two district taxpayers for a temporary injunction to halt the project while they challenge it in court.
District Judge Randall Slieter filed the ruling Friday.
In it, he found that the school district and not the plaintiffs would have the "greater likelihood of success on the merits'' in the lawsuit. Also, the district demonstrated it would suffer great harm by a delay in the project.
The district estimates that it will save millions of dollars by awarding bids now. It wants to take advantage of a competitive construction market.
Also, it must award the bulk of the project by late July to take advantage of low and zero-interest bonds and save million in interest costs through a federal stimulus program.
Patrick McCoy and Scott Wintz, both of Clarkfield, filed the civil lawsuit alleging that the district is attempting to circumvent taxpayer rights to vote on financing for the project. The district is undertaking an estimated $10.9 million worth of improvements overall, with $8.7 million worth of that work being financed as health and safety work. The district does not need to have taxpayer approval to finance health and safety improvements.
The judge's ruling also supported the district's claims that the improvements are needed to bring the district into compliance with current air quality and health standards in its buildings. The district has already invested $1.2 million towards the projects in the Yellow Medicine High School building, originally constructed in 1930, and the Bert Raney Elementary School, originally constructed in 1952.
The district was pleased by the ruling, according to its attorney, Eric Quiring of Ratwick, Roszak & Maloney of Minneapolis. He said he sees no reason why the district cannot proceed with the project at this point.
The plaintiffs have 60 days to appeal the judge's decision, and the ruling on an injunction request does not affect their original civil suit challenging the project.
Quiring said he doesn't believe it would benefit the plaintiffs to continue their case in light of the recent ruling. If the plaintiffs continue the case, they would likely be required to post a surety bond to cover the potential losses of millions of dollars to the district, he noted.
The plaintiffs' attorney, Dustan Cross of the Gislason and Hunter law firm of New Ulm, did not return phone calls seeking comment yesterday.

text: Politics 10 September 2001 Union bosses on the second term Sign up for our weekly email * John Monks TUC general secretaryThere was something rather conditional about Labour's second and historically unprecedented landslide.Voters were suspending judgement, knowing it takes more than four years to achieve real change. The memory of Tory failings is still strong, but the pressure on Labour to deliver is intense. New Labour thinking proved very successful in persuading voters of economic competence. The worry is that it provides fewer answers, and some wrong ones, for the second goal - improving public services. David Triesman AUT general secretaryDuring the first term, the AUT demonstrated the unique value of universities to the UK. We aimed to impress the government and the public with the academic contribution, arguing that an inexorable decline in salaries would hurt what should be nurtured.The passage from securing stable economic conditions to expenditure growth in the second term would always pose challenges. There must be a new dialogue about the balance between more student places, research and sustained quality. Tony Dubbins GPMU general secretaryThe GPMU exists to protect and advance the interests of its members and their families. A commitment to the full implementation and development of the European social model and early membership of the euro, at a realistic exchange rate, are essential. Employment rights from day one, recognition in firms with fewer than 21 employees and support for International Labour Organisation conventions are all needed. In public services, we support investment for improvement, not privatisation for profit. Paul Noon IPMS general secretaryLabour has had a poor start with the public sector, but partnership with employees and trade unions on the delivery of services should be the cornerstone of its second term. Public servants want improvement and will respond positively to modernisation.But there are pre-requisites: we need more available resources; privatisation is not the answer and will be opposed by public servants and their trade unions; and ministers must be more positive about what the public sector can achieve. Mick Rix ASLEF general secretaryAs someone involved in the railway industry, I hope that the second term will bring the new thinking about transport and the railways so signally lacking in the first term - in particular, a return to a publicly owned rail network. As a trade unionist, I would like to see an end to the boasting that we have the most restrictive union laws in western Europe and a start to bringing us into line with International Labour Organisation conventions, which means more positive rights for workers and the repeal of anti-union laws. Bill Speirs STUC general secretaryWith elections to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly in just over 18 months, speedy action is needed at the UK level if Labour MSPs are not to suffer collateral damage. That action should include investing in public services and public servants; ending the infatuation with privatisation; quickly and enthusiastically delivering on workers' rights to information and consultation; a strategy for manufacturing; a minimum wage of at least £5 an hour without age exemption; and clear, unequivocal opposition to Dubbya's Star Wars lunacy. Bill Morris TGWU general secretaryWe want to work in partnership with the government to conclude some important items of unfinished business. This means full information and employment rights; an obligation on employers, regardless of size, to put in place International Labour Organisation minimum labour standards; and employment rights from day one. During Labour's historic second term, we wish to see the renaissance of a public services ethos. Reform must be based on the principle of social need, not private greed. Dr Beverly Malone RCN general secretaryThe NHS will continue to dominate the agenda in this government's second term. The main themes will be expectations, delivery and clarity. Modernisation plans have raised expectations, but patients and nurses need to see concrete evidence that improvements are happening. The public sector and those who work in it are a tremendous resource - the government needs to value them accordingly.The RCN looks forward to working with fellow unions on behalf of nurses and patients. Sir Ken Jackson AEEU general secretaryThe main challenge in the second term is to raise productivity and competitiveness across UK industry. Labour has made a good start, with a series of important initiatives. But we must build on these with more investment, expanded training and skills development. If we do, then AEEU members will enjoy greater employment security. If we don't,then manufacturing will continue to shrink. I know the government and the AEEU are ready to meet the challenge. I want industry to join us. Barry Reamsbottom PCS general secretaryI welcome Tony Blair's commitment in his speech at Royal Free Hospital that he has no intention to privatise vast swathes of the public sector. PCS members working in the civil service and related areas have already proved they can deliver programmes for the government, including the New Deal, the working families tax credit and the minimum wage. All we ask is the chance to prove we can still deliver - while remaining in the public sector.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Heading into the IndyCar Series season opener at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Chevrolet's engine wasn't given much of a chance.
After Chevrolet was abandoned by many of its teams in the wake of General Motors' decision to pull out of Indy Racing League competition at the end of 2005, few observers believed Chevy could compete against the financial and engineering might of Honda and Toyota, the manufacturers that have dominated the last two years of IndyCar competition.
But a funny thing happened on the way to Homestead, where the Toyota Indy 300 will be staged Sunday (2 p.m. ET, ESPN and ESPN2): Tomas Scheckter qualified his Dallara-Chevrolet on the pole. His Panther Racing teammate, rookie Tomas Enge, made it a 1-3 for the only two Chevrolet-powered cars in the field.
It was a dream result for everyone involved with the maligned Chevrolet IndyCar program, which has been in turmoil for the better part of two years. The trouble started in early 2003 when it was quickly obvious that the Gen III IRL engine developed in-house by GM Racing was not up to the benchmark set by then series newcomers Toyota and Honda. At mid-season, GM forged a deal to badge Cosworth's stillborn IRL engine the Chevrolet Gen IV while moving forward with a joint development program.
The move was controversial, but the Gen IV produced instant results and two-time IndyCar champion Sam Hornish used the potent new powerplant to mount a second-half rally that nearly resulted in a third consecutive crown. But due to a variety of factors, 2004 was a disaster for the GM IRL program, with only a single podium finish for Alex Barron.
The low point came in October, when GM announced its intention to pull out of the series when its contract expired at the end of 2005. Making matters more difficult for those close to the program, Cosworth's future was uncertain thanks to the Ford Motor Company's decision to sell the engine-building firm as part of its corporate withdrawal from Formula 1.
Cosworth not only found a buyer; it found a buyer who wasn't afraid to do what was necessary to keep the Cosworth-designed Chevrolet engine competitive in IndyCar racing. Somewhat ironically, Cosworth's new owners are Kevin Kalkhoven and Gerald Forsythe, who also own the Champ Car World Series. Despite that seeming conflict of interest, Kalkhoven has maintained that he hopes Cosworth remains in the IRL even after Chevrolet withdraws its support for the program.
Contacted Saturday, Kalkhoven expressed delight upon hearing that 'his' engines powered cars to 1-3 spots on the Homestead grid.
"Cosworth is showing that as the world's leading independent race engine manufacturer it is capable of providing competitive engines in any series," Kalkhoven said. "I am delighted at their grid positions and hope we have a great race."
GM Racing's IRL Program Manager Joe Negri gave Chevrolet's side of the story.
"Even though we're getting out of this series, we haven't lifted off the throttle," Negri said. "If anything, we've worked harder and Panther has worked harder too because it is everybody's best interest for us to go out as winners. And that is fully our intent.
"Cosworth is working as hard as they can as well because it is in their best interest as well as ours in this last year," he added. "Obviously, they need to get customers for the future, and Panther needs to run strongly to attract support form another manufacturer for the future. So there is no reason for any of us to back off. We all have egos."
Panther Racing has compiled an enviable record at Homestead, with Hornish driving the Pennzoil car to victory in 2001 and 2002. Engineer Andy Brown, who is credited for developing Panther's chassis set-ups, was quick to give credit to Chevrolet and Cosworth for Scheckter's Homestead pole.
"This is definitely a horsepower track, though the chassis matters a bit more here than it does at a place like Texas," Brown said.
But Brown maintains that the Chevrolet engine didn't just gain 30 horsepower overnight and that the writing has been on the wall for all in the IndyCar Series to see.
"We were very quick at Texas last year but nobody noticed because they were caught up in saying that our cars were illegal (for failing a rear wing stress test post-qualifying)," Brown said. "What they failed to notice was that we came from the back of the field to the front using an unpainted wing element straight off the Dallara truck."
Scheckter was certainly the fastest Chevrolet driver throughout 2004, but he endured an almost unbelievable amount of bad fortune, most of which was not of his own making. The second-generation South African star knows he has to post a better finishing record in 2005 and he is very pleased with the way his campaign has kicked off.
"I had a fairly decent qualifying car, but the important thing is that I know I have a great race car," he said.
Enge's performance was also noteworthy. The man stripped of the 2002 FIA Formula 3000 title for failing a drug test ran two exploratory IndyCar races for Pat Patrick's defunct team in 2004 and made enough of an impression to land the second Panther seat. GM's Negri is definitely on Enge's bandwagon.
"I fully believe that during the season he's going to end up being a threat to win some races if we can keep our engine program where it's at now," Negri said. "He's doing a lot better than I thought because it takes a long time to learn how to run these ovals if you've never done it before. The Panther team has been really good about working with him and he's learning a lot every day."
Notes: Rahal Letterman Racing was the second star of Homestead qualifying. Vitor Meira split the Panther cars to land on the front row, while last year's Homestead pole winner Buddy Rice qualified fourth. Danica Patrick will make her IndyCar Series debut from ninth on the grid….Andretti Green Racing did not live up to expectations Saturday. Dario Franchitti led the AGR effort with the fifth fastest qualifying lap, while Dan Wheldon, Bryan Herta and Tony Kanaan are back on the sixth and seventh rows…Marlboro Team Penske's Helio Castroneves and Sam Hornish Jr. swept the fourth row, but it was bad news beyond that for Toyota. Darren Manning was 12th and the rest of the Toyota runners filled the back of the field from 16th to 22nd.

text: Like a lot of homeowners, Donna Debenham is proud of her house and protective of her property value. But there's a problem maintaining those values she says: Mountain Pointe High School students are ruining her front yard fence. "They wait for the bus and lean against the fence," said Debenham, a Phoenix resident who lives at about Baseline Road and 48th Street. "All along, where you see the bends, is where the kids have leaned against the fence." The Tempe Union High School District, which governs the Ahwatukee Foothills school, set up a bus stop for Mountain Pointe students in a vacant lot next door to Debenham's residence. She says she's been fighting with the district since April, when she called officials to ask them to relocate the bus stop. "When I called, (a female district employee) said, 'Well, if we move it to someone else's property it might get damaged,'" Debenham said. "It's like, 'If it was your property you'd get it moved tomorrow, now wouldn't you?'" Debenham said she preferred to work things out with the district rather than confront the students directly because she feared retaliation. Linda Littell, spokeswoman for the Tempe Union district, said she only hears of parent complaints regarding bus stop vandalism every so often. "It's more so in the elementary districts than in the high school districts," she said. After writing letters to then-Superintendent Shirley Miles and getting no response, Debenham took her case straight to the governing board last Wednesday. There, she furnished the board with pictures of the damage to her fence and asked again for the bus stop to be moved. "I'm a taxpayer and I vote regularly," she told the board. "I take my property value seriously." The board, because of Arizona's Open Meeting Law, was unable to comment on the item since it wasn't on the agenda. Board president Zita Johnson did, however, instruct district staff to look into the issue, and board member Michelle Helm asked that it be placed on a future agenda. Debenham said Tuesday that the fence cost $2,500 to install and that she guesses half of it would have to be restrung, estimating the damage at $1,250. Still, asked what she wants the district to do, she didn't mention finances at all. "I just want them to move the bus stop away from my property," Debenham said. Littell said Wednesday that the chances of her request being honored was "probably good," and added that district staff was already looking into rectifying the problem. "I checked with (Superintendent) Steve Adolph (regarding) the request from the Mountain Pointe community member to have the bus stop moved," Littell wrote in an e-mail. "(District Chief Financial Officer) Diane Meulemens is working with transportation to see what the options are for relocating it."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Staples Inc. (SPLS) are down -3.01% to $11.27 on very heavy trading volume after the office products company said its sales could fall in the current quarter as it sells fewer computers and core office supplies such as ink, toner and paper in North America amid stiff competition from online retailers and big-box chains, Reuters reports.
Click the video below for more on what has analysts concerned about Staples:
WATCH: More market update videos on TheStreet TV | More videos from Brittany Umar
The company, facing stiff competition from mass merchants such as Walmart Stores (WMT) and online retailers such as Amazon.com (AMZN) , announced several promotions for the back-to-school season, Reuters said.
Sales in its North America retail business, under which it sells core office supplies as well as break room items and copy and print products, slid 6% in the second quarter.
The business accounted for about 43% percent of Staples' total sales in the quarter.
TheStreet Ratings team rates STAPLES INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate STAPLES INC (SPLS) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, poor profit margins and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself."

We stayed at Riad Nejma in May 2010. Its located on the edge of the Medina which is good for grabbing a taxi if you want to escape the repetive foods offered in the Medina an have great french food in the new town area.
The Riad is very well decorated with good rooms, although I would warn against the smaller/cheaper rooms as they have NO windows, not even onto the riad courtyard, abit like being in a cell (with a toilet in the corner)!
The manager is very helpful, speaks english and can give good advice on the Medina.
The decor of the Riad is more modern/Ikea than the beautiful tiles one associates with Morocco, chequerboard black and white floor tiles throughout, all very nicely done but...
Breakfast on the roof is very pleasant, no views worth pondering over.

He went into no contact after telling me 'I don't know how I feel about you anymore', two weeks ago.
I text him on Day 1, Day 2. No reply.
Day 9 I text again saying his silent treatment was ridiculous but I erasing any hope for reconciliation and going for good. Never would contact again.
He unblocked me twice on Day 9 and reblocked.
I deleted his number the same day. Not our last whatsapp conversation though. It was somewhere down my open chats.
Yesterday was Day 14 of his no contact, I was scrolling down open chats to delete them, and I saw his image had been updated. I opened the chat and saw a last active. I had been unblocked.
I checked a few minutes ago expecting to be blocked again but I hadn't been.
I would like to make some points;
1) I never blocked him even though he had.
2) He could see my image/status/last updates while keeping me blocked
3) As far as he knows, I have no trace of him on my whatsapp so I wouldn't know if I've been unblocked.
So my question is, why has he unblocked me after 2 weeks, if he never bothered/chose not to respond to my attempts to contact him?
Most Helpful Girl
he is unblocking you to look at what your doing in my opinion he is curious but he doesn't want you to know he is so he blocks you back. If you want to be with him ignore the crap out of him and he will come back I am pretty sure this indicates interest. Do not contact him at all and wait for him to contact you.00|00|0
As I hadn't blocked him, he could still see what I was doing while he had me blocked.
I'm not sure if I want him any more but I definitely will not be initiating contact.

Hi all
I am looking to create a domain name / hosting reseller account for someone on hardly any budget, having looked around the big ones look like heart and godaddy, what other trusted ones are there, and are there any which are free to setup?

Was the "someone" looking for a specific domain name? Or just to do a specific task?
I'm kind of concerned about the "free" registrars. The concern is "Who really owns the domain name?". Lets say you friend wanted to start a small business, built a website, got a free domain name, and set off to build an empire. Somewhere down the road his web site quits working and something site is now called up when people are looking for goods and services. His domain was hijacked and sold off because he really didn't own the domain name. Could this happen, maybe.
Godaddy is an excellent source for low cost domain registration, they are proven, have a range of services and well established. Not saying they are the only one, just one I've used in the past. DynamicDNS [ http:/
If your friend was looking for something to setup like a home phone system where the name really didn't matter dynamic DNS may be a good solution. Many home firewall routers support dynamic dns with no additional software.

Thanks George, my friend aspires to do her own small IT provider for her friends et all and asked me for advice, personally, I really only know GoDaddy, 123reg and uk2

I use, and have done so for a few years now, Domainsite.com. When I first found them they were one of the cheapest out there and provided ALL of the same services as the big boys. They offer awesome customer service, although i rarely need it, and they do fast DNS updates.
Jul 24, 2011 at 4:35 UTC
Verecloud is an IT service provider.
I would suggest http://www.dnsimple.com. This is inexpensive and very easy to use. I have customers on Godaddy, among others, and I really enjoy how easy DNSimple is to use.
Be careful with free - you get what you pay for.
DNSimple is affordable for just registering, parking, and controlling a domain.
Jul 25, 2011 at 6:09 UTC
Zen Internet can provide DNS hosting and are reasonably cheap.
Jul 25, 2011 at 6:33 UTC
stay away from Godaddy - utter mess.
Also have a look at Blacknight.com, nice bunch of people, very knowledgable and prices very competitive.
Jul 25, 2011 at 7:16 UTC
Thanks guys, i'll pass these onto her, do you know of any good American ones too?

why 'american' ones ?
Jul 25, 2011 at 7:51 UTC
she's in America :)
Jul 25, 2011 at 8:00 UTC
she's in America :)
Credit cards work outside the US ;-)
Jul 25, 2011 at 11:25 UTC
lol, you mean there are Countries outside of the US?!
I've had a word with her, what she wants to do is either have some kind of store front template (like godaddy does) and change it to her logo etc, or have some kind of integrated system on a website
Jul 25, 2011 at 12:03 UTC
Whenever I consult I recommend inmotion hosting. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and they provide a bunch of templates that are actually decent.
www.lighthouseflorist.com was created from one of their templates if you want to see one.

She might have a look at www.domain.name/reseller which is an instant brandable turnkey hosting and domain name reseller program that is completely free and really easy to set up.You can see an example reseller site here www.domainnameregistration.tk
However - the domain name prices are pretty steep and the actual reseller controls are very limited.
Better if she can fork out some money for a wild west domains reseller program - which will give her a site (almost) just like Godaddy (wild west's parent co.) and give her greater branding and very cheap price controls.

text: Hi, How can the performance of Android applications be improved (and at the same time help to reduce battery consumption)? I have seen some graphs/benchmarks where the performance on simple calculations (which can just give an idea about the whole performance side) was about 20X less effective than if it were written with NDK (Native code). That makes me think that to achieve a task (in case it is a pure calculation app) it would drain roughly 20X more battery than if it were a native application. Then again, they say JIT compilation is coming to the Android VM, but even if it increases the performance by 10 (which is unlikely, at least in the first versions) the application will still be wasting cycles (and thus draining the battery faster than it could in an optimal configuration). That's one advantage I see Iphone platform has over Android. I like Android (and don't agree with Apple closed platform paradigm), don't get me wrong, but I would like to know what the engineers at Google are working on to solve that problem. Would it be possible to (when installing the application) to choose if I can store the application in "Native code" by passing the bytecodes and VM? It would take a lot of time for compiling, but just when installing and then after that I would have that application highly optimised. If the hardware were more homogeneous (just like the Iphone platform), that "compilation" could be done on the server side, when selecting the application to be downloaded, but we should choose which is the target device (or it could be captured from the "user agent" automagically). As you already know, I don't know the answer, but I think things have to change on that field. What do you guys think? Cheers

A deceptively simple but distinctive brand name
Photoqo sounds like Photo Co. (i.e. Photo Company), which tells you exactly which sector this name comes from. But the real bonus is its distinctive spelling - which makes this an 'ownable' brand name. And the letter Q gives the name Photoqo a subtle tech feel, signalling that the name belongs to a contemporary business in the digital world.

With more than 33 million square feet in the works, the Washington area accounts for a whopping one-third of the total commercial space under construction in the United States.
For developers and planners, mixed-use is very much in: Five of the 10 biggest construction projects blend more than one property type. Half of the developments on the list include an apartment or hotel.
While CityCenterDC has been nabbing headlines since it broke ground in 2012, few would expect that the mixed-use Neabsco Common in Prince William County would eclipse it. The suburban project certainly qualifies for a spot on the list of the region's most ambitious projects, with two Hilton-branded hotels and two multifamily projects being built right now, for a total of 1.4 million square feet. Retail and offices are also planned. Meanwhile, with its ground-floor Safeway grocery, the Exchange at Wheaton is an example of the new wave of apartment development, where residential units stand above street-level store fronts.
Despite the popularity of multipurpose developments, single-use projects are well represented on the list of biggest construction projects, with the monstrous Marriott Marquis at No. 1. The massive convention center hotel on Massachusetts Avenue NW will add nearly 1,200 rooms of guest accommodations in downtown D.C. when its doors open in 2014.
In Northern Virginia, Vornado Realty Trust has re-imagined the aging Springfield Mall as a live-work-play concept renamed Springfield Town Center. Planned for a higher density mix of office and residential uses, the first phase will focus on the retail component with the redeveloped former mall space to be completed next year.
A couple of office projects round out the list. One in particular, Tysons Tower, ended 2012 on a very positive note. Developers Hines and Macerich found that their gamble on speculative office construction paid off when they signed a keynote tenant, Intelsat, for 188,000 square feet in the high-rise building.
Whether single or mixed, suburban or urban, these grand-in-scale and concept projects are reshaping the landscape and filling out the skyline. And, with such a broad array of big properties in the works, it is clear that the development community is still betting that newer is better in Washington.
