"The 2011 Top-10 New Products are of a class to themselves," said 2011 Chairman Lee Coito. "These products are well designed and engineered to meet the needs of today's agribusiness professional."
A panel comprising farmers, ranchers and industry professionals from across the nation selected the Top-10 and 10 Honorable Mention products from more than 90 entries. The Top-10 New Products will be showcased inside the New Product Pavilion on Expo Lane and R Street.

Anne Montgomery, senior policy analyst for Altarum Institute's Center for Elder Care and Advanced Illness, received at least two awards this year for her insights into the complex world of retirement planning, nursing home policy and long-term care.
She says it's not going to be easy to fix a system that is not only broken, but also never worked in the first place. She has five suggestions for small steps that together would make a big difference -- before the onslaught of aging boomers entering retirement makes things worse.
Reconsider the income limits for Medicaid's long-term care assistance. Medicaid -- not Medicare -- provides help with long-term care. In order to qualify, you must spend all of your money until you are down to $2,000. "That number hasn't been raised in years, and it's not much help to the middle class," Montgomery says.
Make Medicare address the long-term care problem. Medicare is the insurance resource for everybody 65 and older, but today it only provides short-term skilled services following hospitalization. "Medicare has tried very hard not to cover long-term care," Montgomery says. "We still need to work on how Medicare can be part of the solution."
Standardize private long-term care insurance. Long-term care is expensive, and the policy basics vary from state to state. There is no national standard that consumers can count on. On top of that, insurers are backing away from selling these policies because people are living longer than insurers used to think they would. "We need laws that define standards for tax-qualified long-term care insurance," Montgomery says.
Create career ladders for direct-care workers. There are few ways that a person who gives care to older people can get training and a better job within the field. For instance, Montgomery believes there should be certification programs for dementia caregivers. "There isn't any way for direct care workers to grow. It can and should be a real profession," she says.
Give community health care providers money and encouragement to work together. Existing valuable services like Meals on Wheels are being cut because of federal sequestration, while recently allocated government money is being spent on new and untried programs. "We're underfunding the less expensive models," she says.
None of these ideas have to be extraordinarily expensive or complicated. Smart, retired baby boomers can fix this by stepping up and getting involved.

People always compliment me on how juicey my burgers are.There is a chain of stores in my area.They grind their meat fresh every day.I will only buy my ground meat there,because I want fresh and ju
The arugula-pesto butter filling looks like a green jewel tucked inside the juicy sirloin.
I'm from Puerto Rico and although we're not a state, we're proud to be American!. So I wanted to create a burger that accurately captures authentic Puerto Rican food.
Burgoo is a spicy stew made from meats and vegetables. Burgoo is the celebrated stew which is served in Louisville, Kentucky on derby day.
My family loves pulled pork in the winter. In the summer, it is a hassle having the crock-pot or oven on for such a long time. So I used similar flavors and created pork burgers!

Come to Ohio
Neighbors pitching in to support President Obama is what our grassroots campaign is all about. Now, with 55 days left until Election Day, I'm asking West Virginians like you to bring your strength and enthusiasm over to Ohio to lend a hand alongside organizers here.
Watch our new video about why Ohio matters this fall, then pledge to come out to Ohio—for a day, a week, or through November 6th.
We've been organizing hard here in Ohio, but there's a lot more we can do if you and other folks from West Virginia come knock on doors, register voters, and help get communities across Ohio ready to vote. As a key battleground state, Ohio's 18 electoral votes are going to play a huge role in this election. We'll need everyone fired up and ready to go if we're going to repeat our success in 2008.
At the Democratic National Convention, our speakers like Governor Ted Strickland and Columbus legislator Joyce Beatty talked about the values important both to Ohioans and to West Virginians: Jobs here at home and opportunities for everyone to succeed.
Now it's your chance to reach out. Pledge to come out to Ohio, and we'll take care of the rest, connecting you with the volunteer opportunities that can make the biggest difference on the ground:

Rivera has had a front-row seat for greatness
PHOENIX -- Rene Rivera, pitcher whisperer?
The 31-year-old catcher smiles and shrugs sheepishly at the mere suggestion that he might have helped play even a small part in helping mold two of the top pitchers in baseball -- Clayton Kershaw and Felix Hernandez.
"No," Rivera said. "But sometimes I just have a feeling that when I catch someone, I can tell if they're going to be good or not. With Kershaw I could tell. And with Felix it was the same."
Rivera first caught Hernandez when he was an 18-year-old in the Mariners system in 2004, with San Bernardino of the California League.
Four years later he had the chance to work with the then-20-year-old Kershaw in Double-A Jacksonville of the Southern League.
There was something so similar about Kershaw and Hernandez at that young age, something aside from raw talent and a supreme skill set that stood out.
"It was the way they approached the game, the way they competed," Rivera said. "The way they acted on the mound. [Kershaw] looked like a big leaguer in Double-A."
Rivera was reminded of this on Thursday, when Kershaw allowed one run in eight innings, striking out 10 in a 2-1 victory over the Padres. The one run he surrendered came on an RBI single to none other than his former batterymate Rivera in the seventh inning.
Although Rivera didn't have the chance to work with Tyson Ross in the Minor Leagues, he has similar strong feelings about Ross' upside. That much has shown in 2014 for Ross, an All-Star for the first time, who took a two-hit shutout into the eighth inning of Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.
"[Rivera has] helped me out tremendously the last two years," Ross said. "We sit next to each other on the bench and talk all the time. He's been huge for my career."

How about this for your music studio? Let's say you have a small house but enough room for one of these Archipods in your backyard? I'm not sure if they can make a soundproof version or how the round walls would effect acoustics. About $40,000.
"'The Pod' is an insulated sphere of approx. 3m in diameter. Constructed predominantly from timber, the world's most replenishable construction material, insulated to a standard exceeding that of current Building Regulations. The structure is prefabricated in sections small enough to be carried through a house. So no matter where you live, we'll be able to get the 'Pod' onto your site. Because of its unique shape and the generous natural light from the roof dome, the 'Pod' actually looks bigger on the inside than the outside." – archipod.com

The head of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) on Wednesday strongly criticized the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation of the July 6 crash landing of an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777-200ER at San Francisco International Airport.
Opening ALPA's annual safety forum in Washington, D.C., association president Capt. Lee Moak accused the NTSB and its chairman, Deborah Hersman, of seeking the media spotlight in releasing operational details of the Asiana crash. Hersman led regular daily briefings in San Francisco in the immediate aftermath of the accident. On July 15, the board said that it had concluded its on-scene phase of the investigation at the airport.
ALPA has already issued statements critical of the NTSB's public release of crash information. "That fueled rampant speculation about the cause of the accident, and without all the facts surrounding a catastrophic event like this, partial or incomplete information, out of context, can lead to erroneous conclusions and misguided assessments of the crew's intentions and actions," Moak told the safety forum.
"We understand that an organization's leader is ultimately responsible for, and accountable for, the actions of that organization's members," he added. "What we have seen in this instance is an organization that has chosen to deviate from internationally accepted and time-proven investigative processes and procedures in favor of increased media exposure and sensationalism."
In response to earlier criticism by ALPA, the NTSB cited a need for "transparency" in the accident investigation. "We routinely provide the public with factual information throughout the investigative process," spokesman Kelly Nantel told AIN. "For the public to have confidence in the investigative process, transparency and accuracy are critical."
Moak said that ALPA has been "labeled" as opposing transparency. "Each of you know that couldn't be farther from the truth," he said. "ALPA fully supports open, objective and thorough investigations to find all factors involved in the accident."

Head of Iranian ALPA
James T. Kirk (not verified)
August 17, 2013 - 9:28am
Exactly what information is Capt. Moak unhappy about? That the approach was so unstable that the accident was inevitable? That they did not recognize the gravity of the situation and didn't attempt a go around until it was far too late? That a new check airman was with a new captain and both their heads were apparently so far up their asses they couldn't safely land a perfectly good flying 777 on a lovely California morning? And that they came up with some BS about a blinding light in their faces on final?
3 people are dead and all aboard could easily have been killed. I'm sick and tired of these union idiots rhetoric and blind support of pilots who screw the pooch. You can't have 'transparency' both ways. The NTSB did absolutely nothing wrong and the safety of the flying public trumps any need to protect incompetent pilots.

'Biron was terrific against the Rangers, and made the save of the game late in the third period with his team clinging to a 2-1 lead and the Rangers charging his net. Jamie Lundmark took his own rebound and put a shot at the left side of the net, which Biron had left open after making the tough initial save on Lundmark. Somehow, Biron got his left arm across his body in time to stretch out and grab Lundmark's shot out of the air at the goal line.'

Hungenberg Produce beefs up production
Greeley, Colo.-based Hungenberg Produce is planning for increased production this year, said Jordan Hungenberg, salesman and food safety manager.
"Our company has grown its operating/processing capacity by about 15% with new technology and expansion, so if you're going to process more carrots, you need more product," he said. The company added a few hundred acres to its production this year.
Martin Produce Co. switches marketing firm
With the announcement in July that Center, Colo.-based Cañon Potato Co. would close, Greeley, Colo.-based Martin Produce Co. has a new marketing company for its potatoes, said Chuck Bird, Martin's owner/manager.
Martin Produce now is working with Monte Vista, Colo.-based MountainKing Potatoes, which announced in early July it was buying Cañon Potato in a deal that is expected to be finalized Sept. 1.
Cañon Potato cited declining San Luis Valley Potato production as a factor in its decision to sell.
Rogers Mesa Fruit to increase packing
Hotchkiss, Colo.-based Rogers Mesa Fruit is planning to install a new packing line after the current shipping season has concluded, said Jonathan Allen, founder and president of Montrose, Colo.-based Firstfruits International Ltd., which markets the company's fruit.
Final details still have to be worked out, Allen said.
Talbott's Mountain Gold focuses on peaches
Palisade, Colo.-based tree fruit grower-shipper Talbott's Mountain Gold LLLP, which formerly operated under the Talbott Farms Inc. banner, has replaced its packing equipment, said Charlie Talbott, president of Talbott's Mountain Gold and Talbott Farms, which is a partner in the entity.
"We've taken out our old packing line and infrastructure, which was geared to apples, which we no longer handle on a commercial basis, and put in what we hope will be a better and more efficient peach packing line," Talbott said.
The line was installed in mid-July and was expected to be operational for the start of the peach deal at the end of July, he said.
Tuxedo Corn Co. ramps up squash
Olathe, Colo.-based Tuxedo Corn Co. has increased its summer squash about tenfold this year, said John Harold, president.
"We're doing a lot of squash," Harold said.
Tuxedo has increased that production from about 200-300 cases a day before to about 3,000 cases daily this year, Harold said.
The deal got underway in early July and runs until Sept. 10-15, he said.
The company set aside 20 acres for conventionally grown and 5 acres for organically grown squash, he said.

This August, our Edinburgh shop have teamed up with Craft Scotland to bring customers a special summer treat: a showcase of the best in Scottish craft on the second floor of our George Street shop. The skill that goes into making each and every beautiful piece is obvious and the standard of craft on display is overwhelmingly high.
We caught up with one of the talented craft makers, jewellery designer Ebba Goring, to find out a bit more about her and her craft. Here's what she had to say...
How did you get into jewellery making?
I have enjoyed making jewellery since I was about 12 when a family friend gave me a bag of beautiful glass beads from India, I would spend all my pocket money ordering supplies from bead catalogues! It wasn't until I was doing a jewellery module on my foundation course at Leith School of Art in Edinburgh that I really considered it as a career. There are so many niche skills and processes and endless materials just waiting to be transformed into something to wear and treasure. I went on to specialise in jewellery and metal design for my degree at Duncan Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and graduated in 2009.
What is your favourite piece of jewellery that you've produced?
The most treasured pieces are the wedding rings I made for myself and my husband, his is a simple ribbon cast round a flat ring shank and mine fits against my antique engagement ring like a little lace crown. I only ever make my favourite designs; I don't think I could make something that I didn't really love. The pieces I wear most though are the Citrine Scallop Necklace, Silver and CZ Doily Earrings and the 18ct gold vermeil full heart long pendant.
Is this the first time you've worked with Craft Scotland?
I was lucky enough to be selected for their first Meet Your Maker exhibition, at the National Museum of Scotland, not long after graduating. It was a beautifully curated exhibition and gained me lots of exposure for my work when I was just starting out. I also sit on the Craft Bench, a group made up of representative maker organisations and individual makers with the purpose of advising Craft Scotland on its programme of activities and the needs of the sector. I would encourage other scottish makers to become a member and apply for their opportunities.
What are your plans for the future?
I will be launching a wedding collection this Autumn and am also working on a new collection for 2014. I have been really inspired by Kinross, where I live, and its connection with Mary Queen of Scots. I love the Jacobean/ Elizabethan jewels so I am working on designs that have a flavour of that but are still based on my signature stitch and crochet textures. You can expect more gold, pearls and precious gemstones.
(Apart from your own!) Whose work is your favourite in the Craft Scotland Exhibition?
One of my all time favourite jewellers is Grainne Morton, I just love everything she makes. I am also very taken with a necklace by Carla Edwards, who makes fun colourful resin jewellery. Because I wear my own designs most of the time, when I don't I often go for something completely different, usually something very colourful and made from non precious materials. I really like a pair of large red earrings made from bike reflectors by Caroline Smith, they are really eye catching.
Did you get chance to see much of Edinburgh whilst you were there?
When I was manning the show last Sunday I did get chance to nip out and have a nice cup of tea at Eteaket on Frederick Street, sitting out in the sunshine, it was wonderful. We only live about 40 minutes away from Edinburgh so we often come into the city to go to the cinema or out for dinner. If it's a sunny afternoon, a picnic in the Botanics is a nice thing to do and there is lots of space for our two year old son to run around. I was born in Edinburgh and lived there for about five years before I went to art school in Dundee. It always feels like home.

DOM Barry understands exactly how hard it can be to move between worlds, to leave the middle of the country for any city and be expected to somehow cope. To live unstructured days in one life, and the opposite in the other. To speak two or three languages, and be different things to different groups of people. He knows because he wasn't able to do it. Not at his first try, anyway.
Barry grew up in Alice Springs, so last week's indigenous camp took the Melbourne recruit home. But every second week he and his family would drive five hours to Fregon, the central desert community where his mother grew up and where most of her family still lives. Since then he has lived in the Melbourne suburbs, as a 14-year-old on a tennis scholarship who felt alone, and wanted to go home. He's been to boarding school in Ballarat, started playing football and become much happier there. Both experiences meant that when he arrived at Melbourne last October, he felt comfortable, relaxed and ready to give it a go.
Back then, the role playing was harder. ''There basically were two different worlds, so I had to find a way and make sure that one side wasn't affecting the other. In Alice Springs we had school and we were busy, but Mum also wanted us to go out and be a part of the community and be part of the culture down there. It meant living two different lifestyles at the same time,'' he said.
''Every opportunity my mum got she'd want to be out bush and taking us to learn about our culture and our language, just to make sure we didn't forget. To her that's more important than anything and those are the things you have to juggle, being one way when you're out there, and another way in Alice Springs, another way down at Melbourne and trying to live by all the rules.''
He was reminded of those distances this week on a road trip to Yuendumu, where Melbourne found Liam Jurrah. Jurrah was gone by the time Barry joined the club but in some ways the 19-year-old is picking up where he left off.
The Demons' investment in Jurrah's community has continued despite his troubled departure, with the club continuing to push indigenous health initiatives in remote communities, in particular a national program aiming to eliminate trachoma, an eye disease that can cause blindness.
Barry spent most of his brief trip to the local school talking, posing for photos, kicking balls around and being jumped on by small kids. But he was also there as an ambassador for the program, which teaches children about eye and face hygiene and is having an impact: trachoma cases have dropped by around 30 per cent in some of the communities in the past two years.
He is a role model before he has played his first game, but then again he is a two-club player before starting - Melbourne needed Greater Western Sydney to prelist Barry ''for about five seconds'' before trading for him - and he has understood for a long time the importance of indigenous heroes, having struggled during his first, one-term stay in Melbourne, to find people to talk to.
''The support network wasn't there at first, and I found it hard. It kind of fell apart, and to me it showed how important it is to have Aboriginal role models and good support around you. I hadn't even really thought about it before, even though it was hard just to move away. I felt really isolated and when I looked around, who did I have to turn to?'' said Barry, whose next move wasn't to turn back home.
Instead he moved to St Patrick's College in Ballarat, where his brother Ben was living in the boarding house. He fell out of love with tennis and started playing football, because it was the thing that everyone else loved, and found that he was good at it. That decision meant moving back to Melbourne, three-and-a-half years later, wasn't nearly the big deal it was first time around.
''I think it made me a bit tougher. There were definitely times I thought about packing it all away and leaving, but you've got to grind things out and I did that,'' he said. ''If I went straight from Alice Springs to the draft, I don't know how I would've gone with it. But being through that, learning to be away and look after myself, I think it's made things easier. I'm glad I did it that way.''

|Setting the Scene
Whether in New York's tony Hamptons or Connecticut's historic Mystic Seaport, the 81-foot Burger Lady Elizabeth is a classic to be seen.
Written and Photographed by Kim Kavin - October 2003
Some of the raft-ups are already ten boats across by the time the mid-July sun sears Three Mile Harbor. Bikinis and beer bellies abound as boats snake along the channel single-file and jockey for anchoring space amid the long-taken mooring balls. The annual fireworks will explode over the water in just eight hours, and each captain wants the best view of one of New York's most exclusive enclaves: East Hampton, Long Island.
It's a scene for boats to be seen, including a stunning blue-hulled 1976 Donzi launch and the 1929 motoryacht Belle, a beautifully restored, wooden 77-footer that calls Newport, Rhode Island, home. As the big boats vie for room to drop their hooks, dinghies meander through the maze with skippers pointing out the profiles of their dreams. Few fail to crane their necks for a better look at the 1971 Burger Lady Elizabeth, which at just over 81 feet LOA is the grandest dame at the show before the show.
The captain of the Viking motoryacht Crown Jewel, on the hook to starboard of Lady Elizabeth, can't resist striking up a bow-to-bow chat with Capt. Mike Nesbitt about the tight squeeze. Nesbitt, a slow-talkin' Southerner, responds with a grin as big as his home state of Texas. Crown Jewel's skipper says he'll be careful not to swing into our classic beauty should the wind change so much as a hair.
"Well," Nesbitt hollers back, offering to do his part to avoid bumping, "this just looks like a Grey Poupon boat. We're really a French's yella."
I couldn't have said it better myself. A week aboard Lady Elizabeth is an experience in style—the elegant kind embodied by the dapper doyenne's pretty lines, and the endearing kind that radiates from crew working hard to make sure guests feel at home. Whether in New England, where I cruised courtesy of her owner, or in the Bahamas, where she is scheduled to spend her first winter charter season following extensive renovations, Lady Elizabeth will charm her six guests with good fun and good folks—and at a good price to boot. She's priced at a base rate of $15,500 per week, which includes the owner's 12-foot inflatable and Nesbitt's center-console Dusky. "We should be a very attractive price," he says, "especially with a 25-foot tender."
My charter party was the first to spend time aboard, just a few weeks after the revamped yacht's debut at the June charter yacht show in Newport. The excitement about Lady Elizabeth's rebirth was palpable. As we cruised at 11 knots off Block Island, Nesbitt took two charter bookings via cellphone in just one hour.
Lady Elizabeth started out as Encore I three decades ago and has since been through five owners. The second changed her name to Firefly, and the next two called her Isabella. Each added his own touches, which gives her the kind of idiosyncrasies that can take a new captain a while to decipher. As Isabella, those idiosyncrasies combined with half-finished renovations and rotating skippers to give the boat a reputation for breakdowns and problems. "When the owner got tired of paying for the boat, he also got tired of paying for the crew," Nesbitt explains. "They walked off in the summer of 2001. There were already a bunch of charters lined up, and the captains who came onboard couldn't figure out the boat in time."

This retail and restaurant VAR returned from the brink to grow and prosper by embracing the sale of recurring revenue services.
Jim Stewart will be the first to tell you that he isn't perfect, and he doesn't have all the answers. He'll also tell you that his company is what it is today — after three years of significant change — because he didn't have a choice. Due to a series of events culminating in 2009, his company, Advanced Data Systems (ADS), didn't have a very bright future. The exact details of what led ADS to that point are for another story. This story is about the changes Stewart took to turn things around.
His story is relevant because the new version of his company is built on a recurring revenue model. That is, most of his sales have a component of predictable monthly revenue he can count on. Whether it's selling a POS system (hardware and software) as a bundled offering for a monthly fee, offering merchant processing, gift, loyalty, and so on, he's left the break-fix business model in the past and now sells his solutions "as a Service."
While I'm sure Stewart would rather not have had to go through the difficult times, today he's realized that his company's situation in 2008 forced him to change sooner than the rest of the industry. At a time when many retail and restaurant POS VARs are trying to figure out how to compete against "free" POS systems, direct-sale tablet POS apps, and an influx of credit-card-guys-turned-POSdealers, Stewart is a few years ahead of where many POS VARs realize they need to be.
One last thing Stewart will tell you: The change wasn't easy. Some of the hardest decisions of his life have occurred over the past few years. Indeed, unless you're sitting on a mountain of cash or have access to financial help, you need to find a way to offset the fact that breakfix offers large lump sums of money and "as a Service" doesn't. Like many reading this article, Stewart didn't have a pile of cash to cushion the transition. Therefore, he had to cut expenses.
Unless You've Stockpiled Cash, It's Time To Reduce Expenses
"Reducing expenses" is the easy way to describe all the changes Stewart made in 2008. One of the most significant reductions came from moving the company from Cook County, Illinois — which shares Chicago's tax burden — to just over the border in Indiana where ADS could still serve the same market. "Moving from a building we owned and operated in for decades was a difficult decision," he recalls. "We considered subdividing our space and other 'thinking outside-of-the box' options but decided ultimately to start with a clean slate in a space that was geared for the direction we saw the business going." That is, less need for both a shiny showroom that customers don't visit and areas to store lots of spare inventory.
Rather than owning a building, Stewart decided to rent, saying that the current state of the real estate market means that there are some great deals to be had when negotiating a rental agreement. Stewart says he saves about $5,000 a month in property expense alone. Additionally, the strategic move to Indiana was partly a result of the VAR's analysis of where his techs were traveling. Therefore, the move also reduced fuel expenses by approximately $1,000 a month. Daily $10 tolls were eliminated as well, saving more than $2,500 a year. All said, the move reduced his building and utility expenditures by more than 70%.
Additionally, an even more difficult decision was the need to reduce payroll. Since 2008, the VAR has cut its payroll by nearly 40%. Stewart recalls many sleepless nights as he came to grips with the need to make such changes. Like many POS VARs, ADS is family owned and operated and has been for decades. Employee retention was high and Stewart was close to the employees he literally grew up with.
Unfortunately, as you know, payroll and healthcare benefits are a huge expense. And, as with the decision to move to a smaller office space, Stewart's future business model was more streamlined and didn't require the number of employees he had.
Stewart gets very serious when he speaks about this aspect of his transition, particularly when he considers all the POS VARs who have yet to make the transition to the as-a-Service model. "Whether they know it yet or not, many of my peers are overstaffed to profitably run the as-a-Service model," he explains. "The fact is, with this model you don't need the same number or type of employees that you do on the break-fix model." In short, Stewart believes massive staffing reductions are in the near future of many VARs.
Build Out Your Portfolio Of Recurring Revenue Offerings
Reducing expenses is one thing, but what about making some money? To date, Stewart has six recurring revenue options he offers customers. While he feels VARs could jump in and offer all of them immediately, he took a staged approach to adding the services.
First was payment processing because it's the easiest to build and has the biggest financial impact. Like most VARs, ADS has offered card processing for years. And, like many VARs, it wasn't made a priority. "Back in 2006, when we started in processing, it was difficult, resulted in tons of support calls [Stewart says credit card support calls still account for 70% of after-hours calls], and looked like it didn't bring in much money," he says.
When you look at your monthly revenue and you see that you earned a whopping $300 in credit card residuals, you wonder if it's worth all the effort. Stewart says many VARs overlook the fact that $300 a month is $3,600 a year to their bottom line with no cost of goods sold. Once you increase your efforts, the residuals really make a difference. "We're now boarding 90% of new customers and making card processing a big priority," he says. The result is that credit card residuals for ADS are in the sixdigits.
One reason the credit card business is so successful is that acquirers have realized that POS VARs are the gatekeepers between them and merchants. "Everyone is starting a reseller program and wants to recruit our kind," he continues. "And we've found our merchants are happy to do credit card processing with us, their trusted adviser, and put the ISO and independent agent calls in their past."
When it comes to card processing, Stewart feels that you're in the driver's seat. "Sales can go up and down, but you can go out and close credit card business fairly easily," he says. "As we made the transition, I would set goals that we always hit." For instance, early on, Stewart's first goal was to cover a car payment with his monthly residuals. Then two cars. Then utility bills, one payroll, and so on.
ADS' next offering, and a natural segue from card processing, is gift cards. Today, the VAR says gift cards bring in $400 to $2,000 a month. The key, he says, to having success is to sell them as you would a POS system. That is, get merchants excited about the benefits. "So many VARs take the sale tactic with gift cards that most cards will get lost or remain unused," says Stewart. "Totally wrong message. We excite merchants by showing how they can use gift cards as marketing tools to engage with customers and their surrounding community." For instance, one ADS customer buys thousands of cards every month, puts a couple of dollars on each, and then gives them to students in the local school district who achieve certain grades. It gets the merchant's brand in the minds of thousands and gets people coming into the store to spend more than the couple of dollars.
From gift cards, Stewart added services like Mercury Loyalty (earning $50 a month per customer boarded), Web-based reporting through NCC Reflection ($20 a month per customer), online ordering ($30 a month), and the sale of supplies. As with card processing, all of these services add up to create a considerable stream of predictable recurring revenue.
POS Hardware, Software, Processing: Billed Monthly
As the recurring revenue from these offerings built up over time, Stewart moved to the next stage of ADS' evolution — offering Solutions-as-a-Service. Currently, he offers customers POS systems for a monthly fee (subscription model, leased, rent-to-own, whatever you want to call it) via two methods. The first is through Harbortouch (the industry's most [in]famous "free" POS offering). The other is via a three-way partnership between CRS, Mercury, and NCC. In both cases, the bottom line is that to ADS there's no cost of goods sold, and there is a kicker of cash during the initial install and recurring revenue over the next few years.
In the case of the tri-partnered offering, Stewart says he has minimal skin in the game. "The worst case is that if a customer closes, I'm out 50% of whatever's left to the cost of the hardware," he explains. "If possible, I can reclaim the equipment and use it somewhere else. Essentially, my future Mercury residual is the collateral. If you self-fund this model, you're on the hook for everything."
Currently, Stewart is planning the next step in his company's progression. He's evaluating remote monitoring and management offerings like Vigilix to offer to customers (for a monthly fee, of course). Even with new technology he's offering, like digital signage, he's finding ways to build in a recurring revenue component.
What Stewart might not know is that he's making the same moves the most successful managed services providers (MSPs) in the traditional networking space make — he continues to add services to his portfolio that he can offer to customers. The long-term effect is that he's building that recurring revenue into a sizeable monthly nut and making his relationship with his customers more sticky.
After years of hard work and 70-hour work weeks, Stewart says ADS turned the profitability corner last year, and this year is shaping up to be his most profitable in years. Despite all the hardship, the VAR will say that he's lucky things happened when they did. "If you haven't started the transition, it's going to be even more difficult," he says. "Now there's a lot of competition from new guys who started on this model when they entered the industry. The transition's going to be painful, and it won't happen overnight." But really, what alternative do you have?

Wide receiver Dez Bryant has chosen to delay surgery on his fractured left index finger and plans to play for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, ESPN's Ed Werder reported Thursday morning.
Bryant had his finger examined by a second doctor Wednesday, who confirmed the need for surgery. Cowboys officials have left the decision on whether play up to Bryant, and he informed them he'll do everything he can to be active for a critical home game against the Steelers.
Putting off the procedure in the short term does come with a long-term injury risk for Bryant. The delay in surgery could mean a loss of flexibility in the finger. He is putting the digit to the test in Thursday's practice, to see how a splint affects his ability to catch the ball.
Although the Steelers will prepare for Bryant, there will be questions about which routes he will be able to run effectively. The Cowboys will need to determine, while facing a banged-up Pittsburgh secondary minus top cornerback Ike Taylor, whether Bryant will be used in a full pass-catching role or be used as more of a decoy.
Earlier this season, in a Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Bryant played through a hip injury, but he wasn't involved much in the passing plan.
Bryant has been a big reason the Cowboys, at 7-6, are still vying for an NFC playoff spot. They are a game behind in both the race for the East division title (Giants) and a wild-card berth (Seahawks, Bears). He has clearly been Tony Romo's go-to guy all over the field in key situations this season.
Romo will need all the help he can get to outduel Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, who are also 7-6 and battling for an AFC playoff spot.

Topic: Festive month?
This ought to be the month of light and happiness, but it is not. I show myself very calm and I am packing the St. Nicolas boxes in coloured paper. But everything within me is screaming. I am losing my husband, my always so young, sportive and healthy Peter.
This cancer has spread everywhere now. He still is with me in the livingroom, yellow and pale and so very tired.
We don't have long to go, could it be christmas or will it happen next week? Nobody knows. Soon though, you can see it in his face, in his thin body.
He never did anything wrong, he is such a warm and good human being. Why this suffering?
Please think of us, this month.
All the best for all of you,


text: I would very much like for these issues to be resolved because Octavia would be a good figure to add to the line. I am forever still hopeful the rights issues can be resolved so that Filmation characters can be included to have this line be the most comprehensive and complete line. One of the things that keeps me interested in this line is the possibility of getting characters that were left out of the vintage line such as, Adora, Queen Marlena, Cringer, Granamyr, and hopefully, Shadow Weaver and Scorpia and the other plethera of Filmation characters.

In fact, little may have changed -- company performance creates a Halo that shapes the way we perceive strategy, leadership, people, culture, and more. The Halo Effect unmasks these delusions and replaces mistaken thinking with a sharper understanding of what drives business success and failure. Drawing on examples from leading companies - and mercifully free of business jargon - The Halo Effect is for those thinking managers who want to separate fact from fiction in the business world.

"Phil Rosenzweig has done us all a great service by speaking the unspeakable. His iconoclastic analysis is a very welcome antidote to the kind of superficial, formulaic, and dumbed-down matter that seems to be the current stock in trade of many popular business books. It's the right book at the right time." (John R. Kimberly, Henry Bower Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania)
"Business books all too rarely combine real-world savvy with scientific rigor. Rosenzweig's book is an outstanding exception - it's a superb work and long overdue." (Philip E. Tetlock, Lorraine Tyson Mitchell II Chair in Leadership and Communication, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley)
"slow start"
First four chapters seemed like filler but after listening to the rest of the book, the author was just over emphasizing a point. The book gets progressively better.
"No nonsense book that debunks business myths"
No nonsense book that debunks business myths. Yet another great book that calls out the after the fact bogus business analysis that is the foundation of many business books. good read. especially debunks the 'You do this then you will succeed' kind popularized by Collins.
"Wouldn't Recommend It"
I wouldn't recommend this book. It discusses research in other books quite a bit. Just was not interesting.
"Eye opener"
Company's Success or failure is highly influenced by Halo effect when asked to the managers of the company
Success regresses to mean with time
Software Developer
"should have been a shorter book"
this book had all the potential, but the author just spent all but the last chapter saying, "Nobody in management books (Jim Collins, et al) is scientific." And then in the last chapter bailey developed anything but a premise that you should make a strategic plan, and then execute it.
Business Physicist and Astronomer
"Nothing New"
The narration was fine.
I didn't find anything even interesting in this book.
I read a lot so this probably was simply redundant for me. You might like it.
"I love the book!!!"
You should read it! You have to read it! You must read it!...You will remain (bleep) if you don't read it!

Clevenger gets first start at third in Majors
CHICAGO -- Steve Clevenger was a middle infielder before he was converted to catcher in the Cubs' Minor League system, but on Friday, he was at third base.
Clevenger got the start against the Giants' Matt Cain, as the Cubs tried to overload the lineup with left-handed hitters.
"I got my ground balls in," Clevenger said. "I feel very comfortable over there. I played infield when I was first drafted. It's nothing new to me, just getting the [repetition]."
He did play more infield this spring than in the past. Last year, Clevenger won a spot on the Cubs' Opening Day roster as a backup catcher.
"It's just a reaction position at third," he said. "It's basically catch it and throw it."
He's also prepared as far as equipment.
"I always keep my infielder's glove broken in," he said.
"If he's going to be here, he has to play," manager Dale Sveum said of Clevenger, who is the third catcher on the Cubs' roster. "It's time to get him in the lineup against Cain and see what happens."
Third baseman Ian Stewart, on the disabled list with a strained left quad, has been rehabbing at extended spring camp, and he played four innings on Thursday, hitting a couple of doubles. Sveum said he expects Stewart will begin a Minor League rehab assignment soon.

Topic: A blockage...and then what
The hospice drs. have confirmed that my sister now has a blockage, either in her stomach or high in the intesinal wall. No dx testing so no clear picture either. My sister can not keep anything down at all, even the water that she begs for because she is so thirsty from the drugs they give her not to vomit every ten minutes.
My question is how long can someone exist with such a blockage? My sister is still awake, alert but very weak. If anyone has experience, I'd be thankful to hear. Thanx, Belle

If you're interested in taking your casual swimming in the sea to the next level, a snorkeling excursion around St Martin is the ideal way to get your feet wet. And if you're already an avid fan, Sally's handpicked must-try snorkeling zones provide a sound reason to find your passport, grab your bathing suit and dip into the Caribbean water to fill your vacation schedule swimming around the island.
Creole Rock
As part of the French Nature Reserve, Creole Rock is celebrated for its diverse ecosystem. On one side of the rock you'll discover generally calm, shallow waters with typical Caribbean marine life such as Sargent Majors, Blue Tang, Parrot Fish and more. Swing around to the far north side and you'll find deeper waters, generally rougher conditions and creatures from Turtles and Dolphins to Nurse Sharks and Stingrays.
Sally's pro tip: If you're a beginner, stick to the calm and shallow section. It's a great place to start.
Turtle Reef
Turtle Reef is a circular reef where you'll often find two variants of turtles, both Green Turtles and Hawksbill Turtles. It's filled with diverse fish life as well as healthy fish life. It's a perfect place for new snorkelers to go, as it's only 25ft deep at its absolute deepest, and 6ft deep at its shallowest. It's quite a ways from the other snorkeling hotspots too—so you'll beat the other snorkeling crowds and cruise around comfortably.
Sally's pro tip: You'll need to be escorted by someone who knows the water well, like a local operator, because Turtle Reef is tricky to find.
Pinel Island
The most accessible from St Martin on the list, snorkelers can get to Pinel Island from ferries that run from Cul de Sac every half hour, or you can kayak, paddle board or even swim. Once you arrive, you'll be snorkeling on a shallow reef that goes off of the island's east side and swings around to the north side, only a maximum 20ft deep. You'll discover healthy fish and coral life, and since you can access Pinel Island easily at your leisure, it's the perfect spot to explore if you don't want to commit your entire day to the underwater world.
Sally's pro tip: go in the morning to beat the cruise ship crowds!
Tintamarre Island
Tintamarre Island is a great place to snorkel if you want to make a whole afternoon of it. It's sequestered far to the north of St Martin, loaded with amazing diving spots (maybe for next time!). For snorkelers, head to the west side of the beach where you'll discover robust rock formations and tons of Blue Tang. You can swim in front of the beach where the boats or moored up, over the reef and around the rocks along the beach too. If you're on the lookout for some turtles, you'll find them amid the eel grass just off the beach.
Sally's pro tip: On the west side of the island, the reef system stretches far, making a great spot for experienced snorkelers. If you try this, make sure you have a marker buoy so boats can readily see you.
Happy Bay
If you're on the market for a little beach relaxation along with your snorkeling, Happy Bay is a pristine beach with good snorkeling on the north and south shores. It's a great destination for the entire experience: drive to Friars Bay, park and take in the picturesque walk to Happy Bay over the cliffs. Once you hit the waters, you'll find nurseries for Caribbean Reef Fish.
Sally's pro tip: If you're an avid snorkeler, you can swim from Friars Bay all the way to Happy Bay and continue around the coast, just be sure to rehydrate along the way.

Strength in Google (GOOG), IBM (IBM) and Apple (AAPL) is covering up mixed action under the surface. Breadth is running negative and small-caps, which have been leading lately, are lagging. There isn't a rush for the exits, but there is some profit taking.
Even the bulls are starting to talk about this rally becoming a bit long in the tooth. Rallies in the last year have averaged about 10 weeks. One of my favorite indicators is T2108 from Worden Brothers. It shows the percentage of stocks above their 40-day moving averages. It is hitting 85 right now, which is the highest level since last January.
It isn't difficult to find bearish indicators like that to worry about, but, as I've been writing lately, I want to see weak price action before I become more pessimistic. The market has consistently come back from shaky opens to close strong; until that pattern changes, I'll keep a positive bias.
I've been a net seller this morning as some of the thinner stocks I'm holding pull back. I flipped Facebook (FB), which I mentioned yesterday, and I am staying patient to see how things develop. There is pressure under the surface, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the market turn down after a great earnings reports.

Faces of Romney economics: Randy Johnson, American Pad & Paper
Randy Johnson had a good job making quality paper products at Ampad in Marion, Indiana. But when Mitt Romney and his partners bought the plant, everything changed. This is Randy's story:
I was working the night shift and making hanging file folders, a quality product, proud of it. We showed up after the Fourth of July holiday and all we found was a one page note that said we were fired. They brought in security guards, walked us out, and wouldn't let us back in the building.
They let some of us come back to work, but only after they cut our wages, they slashed our health care benefits, and threw out the retirement plan. Then, instead of negotiating with us, Romney and his partners closed the factory and laid us all off.
But the story of Ampad doesn't end there. It turned out that Romney and his buddies had been loading up Ampad with debt by borrowing more and more against the company. At the same time, they were demanding millions in management fees every year, to ensure that they and their investors got paid first. By 2000, Ampad couldn't even pay the interest on the debt. Romney dumped it—said that was it. In seven years, the debt was more than 35 times as big, and it had grown to more than $400 million. [Ampad] had to declare bankruptcy at that point.
When it was all over, Romney and his pals squeezed more than $100 million out of the company, 20 times the amount they first put in. They closed Ampad factories across the country, from Georgia to Texas to California to New York.
Romney and his fellow investors got into the game to grow their own wealth, not to create jobs or grow the company for everyone. To them, Ampad must've been a resounding success.
If he took those values and lessons to the White House, it would be a resounding failure. Romney economics devastated my family and devastated the workers' families and communities. The jobs have to be the first priority in this country—we ought to be focused on that, and from my experience, Mitt Romney is not the man for the job. I believe the American people—especially American workers—need to know about the values and experiences Romney the businessman would bring to the table as Romney the president. And it's only fair to ask whether those values and experiences qualify him to be our president—or in my book, disqualify him.

The San Diego Chargers recently asked LaDainian Tomlinson if he wanted to come out of retirement and rejoin the team, according to quotes from Tomlinson in a Yahoo! Sports report.
"I met (new GM) Tom Telesco and Mike McCoy at the Combine, and they asked me to come back and play," Tomlinson told Yahoo! Sports. "I saw (executive vice president) John Spanos at a restaurant in Indy, and he introduced me to them, and they brought it up. At first I thought they weren't really serious, but they kept talking about it, and I realized it was real.
"They said, 'You can come back and carry it 10 or 12 times a game. We'd like to have you here.' "
Tomlinson, 33, who spent two seasons with the Jets before retiring after the 2011 season, told the Chargers he wasn't interested.
"… When I made the decision to walk away, I wrestled with it long and hard, and I knew it was final," Tomlinson said. "Once I retired, that was it. My mind is in a different place. Mentally, going back would have been too hard."

Shoulder feeling better, Heyward back in lineup
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez opted not to take any chances when Jason Heyward arrived at Champion Stadium on Monday morning and revealed his right shoulder was a little sore and tight.
But after missing Monday's game against the Nationals, Heyward was back in the Braves starting lineup for Tuesday afternoon's game against the Cardinals. The 23-year-old right fielder started to feel some shoulder discomfort after diving headfirst to make a catch on Sunday.
Heyward went 1-for-2 with a double before exiting Tuesday's 12-3 win after the third inning. Gonzalez removed each of his starting outfielders at that point because they are scheduled to play in four consecutive games through Thursday.
"Today feels even better than it did yesterday," Heyward said Tuesday. "I could have played yesterday. We were just making sure."
After receiving treatment on Monday, Heyward took batting practice without experiencing any problems. When he returned to the ballpark on Tuesday morning, he once again took some swings and was pain-free.

FORMER Queanbeyan High School captain Maddison Godden has been named Queanbeyan's Australia Day Ambassador for 2013.
Mayor Tim Overall said The Australia Day Committee felt younger citizens, like Miss Godden, were great everyday ambassador for Queanbeyan.
Cr Overall said Miss Godden's personal attributes and leadership skills made her the ideal choice for ambassador.
Miss Godden was encouraged to apply for the role by her school year advisor and said she was honoured to be able to represent the community. The 18-year-old will give an address at the local Australia Day cleebrations at Queanbeyan Park on Saturday, January 26 as part of her ambassador role.
"I was quite ecstatic … quite shocked to be chosen from the group of people at school who entered and all the other applicants," she said.
"I've grown up in Queanbeyan and I'm more than happy to represent the town and community as a whole. I've represented Queanbeyan High School before and I wanted to take it one step further."
Miss Godden said she usually celebrates Australia Day by enjoying a barbecue with family and friends. She also likes to attend the local festivities and watch the citizenship ceremony.
"I think it's important to welcome people into the community and into Australia," she said.
"Australia Day is a day to be thankful for the society we live in and how free we really are ... a place where women and men are equal, there's opportunity for education, support from government and a culture where everyone is helpful. We're always willing to lend someone else a hand even if they're a stranger.''
Miss Godden's mother, Cathryn, said she is proud of her daughter's achievement.
"We couldn't be more proud, it's a real credit to her," she said. "I think she'll do a wonderful job following on from her role as school captain and a student representative."
Australia Day celebrations will be held in Queanbeyan Park on Saturday, January 26 from 5pm and conclude at 9pm with a fireworks display.
The afternoon will include the presentation of the 2012 Queanbeyan Australia Day awards, an address by 2013 Queanbeyan Australia Day ambassador Maddison Godden, flag-raising ceremony, live entertainment by the Sing Australia Choir, City of Queanbeyan Pipe Band and Groove Dot Com and children's activities including the free merry-go-round, jumping castle, face painting and removable tattoos.
